Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·广东茂名五校联考)People You’ve Never Heard ofWho Changed the WorldIt is a fact that most people live their lives unremarked by history.Whether by design or by accident,there are some pioneers whose achievements changed the course of history but whose names are unknown to us.James HarrisonJames Harrison has saved the lives of over two million people by donating his blood 1,173 times,a Guinness world record.His blood produces a rare antibody(抗体) which cures the otherwise deadly Rhesus disease in unborn children.It has also been used in the development of a medicine anti-D,which will cure the Rhesus disease in children forever.Lewis LatimerAfter helping Alexander Graham Bell obtain his patent for the telephone,Lewis Latimer patented a carbon filament(碳灯丝),which allowed light bulbs to burn for hours before burning out,much more useful than that invented by Thomas timer went on to invent many other useful devices,including a device which cooled and cleaned patients’ rooms in hospitals.Maurice HillemanNot all achievements require bravery and self-sacrifice.Take Maurice Hilleman for example.He found another way to change the world.He developed the mumps vaccine(疫苗) after his daughter got the illness.And he didn’t stop there.In total,he has single-handedly developed over 40 vaccines,including eight commonly given to children.His work has saved millions of lives and prevented serious consequences due to the diseases.Nils BohlinIn 1959 Nils Bohlin patented a revolutionary design that has saved millions of lives—the three-point safety belt.After the initial resistance from drivers who hated being told what to do,and even for their own good,the three-point belt has become a standard feature in new cars around the world.1.Whose patent allowed light bulbs to burn for hours before burning out?A.Lewis Latimer.B.Alexander Graham Bell.C.Thomas Edison.D.Nils Bohlin.2.What’s the similarity between James Harrison and Maurice Hilleman?A.They both set a Guinness world record.B.They both had spirits of bravery and self-sacrifice.C.Their contributions saved the lives of many children.D.They devoted themselves to work because of family members.3.What was the drivers’ initial attitude to the three-point seat belt?A.They were content with it.B.They refused to use it.C.They accepted it calmly.D.They got excited about it.B(2019·四川双流中学模拟)I attended a party one night.During the dinner a man told a humorous story based on the quotation:“There’s a divinity that shapes our ends,rough-hew them how we will.”The storyteller mentioned that the quotation was from the Bible.I knew he was wrong.There couldn’t be the slightest doubt about it.To get a feeling of importance and display my superiority,I appointed myself as an unwelcome committee member to correct him.He stuck to his guns.“What? From Shakespeare? Impossible! Absurd! That quotation was from the Bible.” And he knew it.The storyteller was sitting on my right;and Frank Gammond,an old friend of mine,was seated on my left.Mr Gammond had devoted years to the study of Shakespeare.So the storyteller and I agreed to submit the question to Mr Gammond.Mr Gammond listened,kicked me under the table,and then said,“Dale,you are wrong.The gentleman is right.It is from the Bible.”On our way home that night,I said to Mr Gammond,“Frank,you knew that quotation was from Shakespeare.”“Yes,of course,” he replied,“Hamlet,Act Five,Scene Two.But we wereguests at a happy time,my dear Dale.Why argue with the storyteller? Why prove to him he is wrong?Why not let him save his face?Always avoid your sharp angle.” I learned a lesson I’ll never forget.I not only had made the storyteller uncomfortable,but also had put my friend in an embarrassing situation.How much better it would have been if I had not become argumentative.Nine times out of ten,an argument ends with each of the contestants more firmly convinced than ever that he is absolutely right.You can’t win an argument.You can’t because if you lose it,you lose it;and if you win it,you lose it.4.What did the author do to get a feeling of importance at the party?A.Tell a humorous story.B.Show off his rich knowledge.C.Teach the storyteller a lesson.D.Correct the storyteller’s mistake.5.Why did Frank Gammond kick the author under the table?A.Because he didn’t know much about the Bible.B.Because he thought the author was really wrong.C.Because he was thoughtful and wanted to stop the author.D.Because he was humorous and played tricks on the author.6.How did the author feel about the event that happened at the party?A.Thankful. B.Regretful.C.Satisfied. D.Confused.7.What can be the suitable title for the passage?A.You Can’t Win an ArgumentB.You Can’t Make Mistakes in PublicC.Do Have an Open MindD.Mind Your Manners at a PartyC(2019·山东青岛二模)Solar power is helping bring about a future of cleaner energy,but there are limits to where rigid solar panels (刚性太阳能电池板) can go.A new kind of solar cell made with a mineral called perovskite(钙钛矿) can go almost anywhere,says physicist Olga Malinkiewicz.We can use perovskite cells on the surfaces of the building,on the roofs of the buildings,on the roofs of the cars and on the electronic devices.We can use it on the sails.We can use it in the balls,tents and unlimited applications.Malinkiewicz says perovskite has become a favorite among solar panel researchers.Because it can be printed,everyone can use it on every surface.Malinkiewicz developed a way to print perovskite panels like an inkjet printer.She co-founded a company to produce them,called Soleil Technologies,after the Baltic sun goddess.Construction company Skanska is testing the panels at their Warsaw headquarters.Adam Targowski is sustainable(可持续的) development manager for Skanska.They work perfectly,even when they are not well exposed to sunlight.So we can use them in all surfaces of the building.Soleil calculates that about one square meter of panel can supply a day’s worth of power for one worker’s computer and lights.And they keep getting better as research continues,says the company’s scientific director Konrad Wojciechowski.For other technologies,it took decades to really enter markets.Perovskite has been around only for few years in scientific research,so there is still a lot to be done,but potential is basically pretty much unlimited,I think.There are still durability and other problems to work out,but several companies expect to have perovskite panels on the market this year.8.What do we know about the perovskite solar cell from the first paragraph?A.It’s delicate. B.It’s complex.C.It’s flexible. D.It’s expensive.9.What does the underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refer to?A.Skanska and Adam Targowski.B.Malinkiewicz and Skanska.C.Soleil Technologies.D.Perovskite panels.10.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.It needs years to put perovskite panels into markets.B.Scientists think perovskite panels are ready for markets.C.Perovskite has been studied for decades.D.Perovskite panels will soon be seen in the market.11.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain how to use perovskite panels.B.To introduce perovskite panels.C.To advertise a new solar power cell.D.To propose scientists to further study perovskite cells.Ⅱ.七选五(2019·湖北名校联盟信息卷)How You Open Your Car Door Matters to CyclistsThe “Dutch Reach” isn’t a new dance move or a random YouTube challenge. 12 Andyou might keep your car door safe in the process,too.All you have to do is change how you open your door.Typically,a person sitting in the driver’s seat of a car opens the door with the hand closest to it.It makes sense since doors are designed to be opened that way.Pull the handle and the door is open.But if you happen to do that at the wrong time,you may unknowingly create an obstacle for a passing cyclist.The cyclist might be knocked down off the bike. 13Clearly,the solution is for the person exiting the vehicle to check for traffic.However,the car door design and long-time habits have made the process automatically. 14 Open your car door with your other hand using the Dutch Reach.So instead of using your left hand,reach for the door handle with your right.This will force you to turn your body.At the very least,you’ll look into your side view mirror to check for any traffic.15 All Dutch are taught it.It’s part of regular driver education.The technique dates back about 50 or 60 years in the Netherlands.In 2016 an American named Michael Charney started the Dutch Reach Project.He wanted to popularize the practice in the United States.Charney’s efforts may be paying off. 16A.The car door is likely to be damaged by the fast-moving bicycle.B.The Dutch are used to opening their car doors this way.C.Several states now include the Dutch Reach in their drivers’ handbooks.D.It’s a simple move that can help prevent harm to cyclists.E.People are trying to change the way to open the car.F.It is easy to do once you are used to it.G.Luckily,there’s a simple way to solve the problem.答案精析Ⅰ.1.A[细节理解题。

But just consider the larger number of colorful phrases for a poor brain—pinhead,fathead,thickhead,knucklehead,dimwit,nitwit,idiot—there are dozens of them.Yes,our language is very negative when we forget that everything comes from the brain,emotion as well as thought.But we forget that fact and center all our feelings in the heart. 11 They cover every kind of emotion.They fill the pages of the literature of the world.What is love,the poets tell us,but two hearts beat as one.A man of courage is“brave-hearted”and“great-hearted”.12 Cruelty comes from a hard heart—affection from a warm heart,never a cold one.A good man,one who means well,“has his heart in the right place,”while a fearful man often finds “his heart in his mouth”or “sinking to his feet”.Well known to us are such words as“heartache”,“heart-break”,“heart-to-heart talk”,“straight from the heart”.A.There are more words to describe poor brain than a good one.B.They place all their thinking in the brain,and all their feelings in the heart.C.You are getting to know everything about him—his intentions and purposes.D.The brain is too complex and mysterious,too difficult to understand.E.We have created a vast wealth of special phrases to express these feelings.F.A gentle person is “tender-hearted ”or “soft-hearted”.G.Don’t believe in your feelings.加练半小时英语答案精析第10练人物传记类(一)高考高频单词与短语识记排查1.honored 2.inspiring 3.Personality 4.honestly 5.educated 6.in7.of8.from9.into 10.to阅读能力专练Ⅰ.1.C[细节理解题。
