A(2018-2019学年湖北省重点高中联考英语试卷)During my third year of university, I spent six months studying in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Many are worried about travelling to Rio but I promise, it is worth a visit. Now I want to share my top recommendations （推荐）for experiencing Rio less as a tourist but more like a native Brazilian.Pedra BonitaRio is full of hiking routes, and some Brazilians love to spend an afternoon hiking. My favorite route of all has to be Pedra Bonita. Pedra Bonita involves a steep climb of about an hour through tall trees, and I admit it is difficult in Rio's heat, but you are rewarded at the top with a wonderful view of the city, standing high above the green landscape and blue sea below.Mureta da UrcaOne thing you are sure to find in Rio is an amazing sunset, but a lot of the best spots tend to be full of tourists. In my opinion, Mureta da Urca is the most relaxing place to watch the sun set over the silver sea, with the figure of Christ the Redeemer standing tall in the background.Pedra do SalPedra do Sal is a historical area in the city centre and on Monday nights it is brought to life by the sound of samba. Hundreds of people gather in the street, food and drink stalls are set up and it becomes a giant street party with everyone enjoying the happy sound of live samba!PicanhaIf there were one Brazilian food I could bring back to the UK, it would be picanha. It is the tastiest cut of steakI have ever tasted, served alongside rice and beans.1.The writer once went to Rio de Janeiro to.A. stay there as a tourist for six monthsB. study as a short﹣time international studentC. live as a native BrazilianD. learn how to be a native Brazilian【答案】B【解析】细节理解题.根据第一段.可知, 作者去里约热内卢是为了学习, 故选B.2.Which of the following is probably the favorite of body﹣builders ?A.

The year I was eight, we barely had two dimes （十分硬币）for the coming Christmas.Our neighbor suggested that we hang lights in our yard to lift the Christmas spirit along our street. However, we had just enough money for things to decorate our living room.There was a hardware store （五金店）down the street. I wanted to see how much the lights cost. On the way I spotted a dime on the sidewalk. Joy! How lucky I was to have found 10 cents !In the store, I stared longingly at the strings of outdoor lights. I knew I could not buy even the smallest set. Then I saw the single lights, and my hope rose.I got excited when discovering a single bulb cost only 20 cents.Walking home, I was thinking how I might get another dime. Maybe if I helped my grandma gather evergreens,she would give me a few cents.As expected, Grandma asked for my help on the weekend. But I didn't get a cent when we finished.Several days later, Uncle Charlie dropped in, and gave each child a dime.We jumped with delight.Just as soon as I could, I went back to the hardware store and bought a single colored bulb.Back home, I climbed the ladder and replaced the clear light with the colored one.After the sunset, I switched on the light and, unobserved, went outside to see the lovely colored light in the darkness.When Daddy came home, he asked, "Who put the light on the front door?""I did, Daddy！"I smiled up at him."Doesn't it look Christmassy?"He bent down and, with tears in his eyes, took me gently in his arms.Our house was wearing some holiday spirit, and it looked beautiful.4.The neighbor suggested that the author's family.A. buy outdoor lightsB. decorate the yardC. beautify the living roomD. lighten the street【答案】B【解析】细节理解题.根据第二段的第一句可知邻居们建议我们装饰一下院子好让街道看起来有圣诞氛围一点.故选B.5.Why did the author feel excited when he found the single bulbs in the store?A.

He was always interested in my life﹣how my family was doing.The calls even came when he and my mother were in Australia, England or Florida.Nine years ago when I bought me first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days, painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done.All he asked, was a glass of iced tea, and that I hold a paintbrush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy, for I had a law practice to run, and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush, or talk to my father.Five years ago, my 71﹣year﹣old father spent five hours putting together a swing set （秋千）for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea, and talk to him, But again, I had laundry to do, and the house to clean.The morning on Sunday, January 16, 1995, my father telephoned me as usual, this time he had seemed to have forgotten some things we had discussed the week before. I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short.The call came at 4：40 am. That day my father was sent to hospital in Florida. I got on a plane immediately, and I vowed （发誓）that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him and really get to know him.I arrived in Florida at 1：00 am, but my father had passed away at 9：12 pm.

"People thought pets reduced stress, improved job satisfaction.""Other studies have found that pets can reduce stress and blood pressure levels for children, older adults, and sick patients, but few studies have examined the effect of pets in the workplace, " Wells added.Wells and Dr Rose Perrine, another expert, examined 31 local businesses around Kentucky that allowed employees and owners to bring cats and dogs to the workplace. The 193 employees rated their feelings about having pets in the office on a six﹣point scale.The companies that allowed pets tended to be smaller, and they did so because the owner or manager wanted to bring his or her own pet to work.Most employees enjoyed having pets in the workplace ﹣even workers who didn't own pets themselves.Employees reported that pets in the workplace help foster social communication and are good for business.Not everyone was entirely enthusiastic. Some drawbacks reported were noise from barking, hair on the furniture, the possibility of the animal urinating on the floor, and allergies. There was also some concern that clients or customers may have allergies or be afraid of the animal.12.The writer wrote this text mainly to.A. teach how to improve work efficiencyB. tell how to raise pets in the workplaceC. explain why there are so many people keeping petsD. introduce a finding between pets and work efficiency【答案】D【解析】主旨大意题.本文主要介绍了办公室养宠物可以提高员工的工作效率.故选D.13.According to the text, pets may improve the health of all the following except.A. patientsB. childrenC. researchersD. employees【答案】C【解析】细节理解题.第三段第一句其他研究发现, 宠物可以降低儿童、老年人和病人的压力和血压水平.可知宠物可以降低儿童、老年人和病人的压力和血压水平, 并没有提到能够提高研究人员的健康.故选C.14.Some smaller companies allowed pets to be taken to the workplace because.A. pets can bring more wealth to their companiesB. the bosses want to keep pets in the workplaceC. pets can make the customers feel very comfortableD. most employees prefer to keep pets in their companies【答案】B【解析】细节理解题.根据第三段,允许养宠物的公司往往规模较小, 之所以这么做, 是因为主人或经理想让自己的宠物工作.."可知这些公司的老板们自己想带宠物上班, 故选B.15.If the text is continued, what would probably be discussed?A.
