(2015·浙江，D)In 2004，when my daughter Becky was ten，she and my husband，Joe，were united in their desire for a dog.As for me，I shared none of their canine lust.But why，they pleaded.“Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it.“Really？You’re going to walk the dog？Feed the dog？Bathe the dog？”Yes，yes，and yes.“I don’t believe you.”We will.We promise.They didn’t.From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day)，neither thought to walk the dog.While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots，to schedule her vet appointments，to feed and clean her，Misty knew this on day one.As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small，medium，and large)，she calculated，“The__medium__one__is__the__sucker__in__the__pack.”Quickly，she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld(心灵融合)．She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers，beam her need，and then wait，trusting I would understand—which，strangely，I almost always did.In no time，she became my fifth appendage (附肢)，snoring on my home－office couch as I worked，cradling against my feet as I read，and splaying across my stomach as I watched television.Even so，part of me continued to resent walking duty.Joe and Becky had promised.Not fair，I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked.“Not fair，” I’d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home.Then one day—January 1，2007，to be exact—my husband’s doctor uttered an unthinkable word：leukemia (白血病)．With that，I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital，doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort.During those six months of hospitalizations，Becky，12 at the time，adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school.My workcolleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment’s notice for medical emergencies.Every part of my life changed；no part of my old routine remained.Save one：Misty still needed walking.At the beginning，when friends offered to take her through her paces，I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.As the months went by，I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty.The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet，peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day’s medical drama unfolded.The evening walk was a time to shake off the day’s upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.When serious illness visits your household，it’s not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar.Pretty much everyone you know acts differently.Not Misty.Take her for a walk，and she had no interest in Joe’s blood counts or bone marrow test results.On the street or in the park，she had only one thing on her mind：squirrels！She was so joyous that even on the worst days，she could make me smile.On a daily basis，she reminded me that life goes on.After Joe died in 2009，Misty slept on his pillow.I’m grateful—to a point.The truth is，after years of balking，I’ve come to enjoy my walks with Misty.As I watch her chase after a squirrel，throwing her whole being into the here－and－now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory，she reminds me，too，that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future，there’s almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了作者在生活中遭遇磨难时在遛狗中得到的心理体验。

After all, to run a marathon, you have at run 26.2 miles by foot! Think about it this way: 26. 2 miles is the same as running the length of a football field more than460 times. It takes most people four or five hours to finish.By the age of 30, Lea Tambellini had run more than five marathons and had no plans to stop. She had always been an athlete. When she was in high school, she swam on her school's swim team and ran to stay healthy and active. Her mom and dad ran marathons, and when she was 22, they helped her train for her first marathon.Lea's first marathon took place in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was called "The Flying Pig". "I was very nervous" she said, "but I had my mom there, so that helped. "Running the race was hard, but the hardest part was when she ran past a cookie factory and smelled cookies at mile 18."I just wanted to be done, "she said. "TAL#NBSP I was spent, but my mom kept me going. It was already her 15th marathon."Today, thousands of people run marathons every year. Runners train for months to get ready. 'To prepare for one of the marathons, Lea ran four to five times every week. On weekdays, she completed shorter runs, five or six miles at most. But on the weekends she ran long distances-13 miles, 15 miles, and 20 miles!"I don't mind training because I get excited about working toward something. And I love running with a group of friends and working toward the goal together. But it does take a lot of time."Running a marathon is a great achievement. "It's a great feeling of accomplishment and nothing feels as wonderful as reaching my goal when I cross the finish line, " Lea explained."I can't wait for the next one!"(1) What contributed to Lea becoming a marathon runner?A. Her great patience and life ambition to be a successful athlete.B. Her strong interest in swimming and long-distance running.C. Her athletic experience and her parents' guidance.D. Her love for running with friends and achieving a goal together.(2) What does Lea mean by saying "I was spent" in Paragraph 3?A. I was extremely exhausted.B. I felt like quitting my sporting career.C. I was feeling increasingly nervous.D. I was overcome by hunger.(3) How did Lea's feeling of running a marathon change over they ears?A. From curiosity to enthusiasm.B. From nervousness to excitement.C. From thrill to boredom.D. From delight to disappointment.2、【来源】 2019年浙江高三上学期高考模拟（B篇）第24~27题10分2018年浙江绍兴柯桥区高三二模第27~30题10分(每题2.5分)Kids naturally need unstructured time to play, to discover their own interests, to goof around（混时间）, or to try things out. Some kids in our society have almost no time left to themselves, often because their parents are overscheduled themselves, or their parents are so concerned about kids' achievements that the kids are constantly doing some structured activities. Some parents want their kids to constantly be working on their personal portfolios（文件包） so they can get into college, prep school or preschool. But if kids don't have any down time, they'll burn out quickly.You'd be amazed at how much kids mature, learn and improve when they are given time to just be. Kids need to learn what it is like to be bored and how to entertain themselves. They need time to play with all of those presents they just got from the holiday. They need to make mistakes on their own, discover new ways to do things and nurture their interests and talents. This is called learning.In our house, eating, sleeping mostly）, and a few chores and schoolwork are fairly structured. There are occasional errands and playdates, appointments and scout meetings. But most days, our kids have several hours in which they choose what to do. We guide them toward positive ways to spend time, but for the most part, they get to choose. I think this is a healthy thing.I won't go so far as to say that parents who overschedule their kids are stealing their kids' childhoods. I'm sure those kids are getting to do some great things that not every other kid gets to do. But the kids are missing out on a vital piece of childhood: running amok （横冲直撞）, not necessarily running all over town on their own, but having time that is theirs, that they get to organize and fill. Kids need to learn how to make choices and learn about the bad and good consequences that come along with their choices.(1) Why are the kids constantly doing some structured activities?A. They like structured activities very much.B. Their parents expect them to achieve more.C. Their parents are worried about their safety.D. Structured activities suit children's interests.(2) Which of the following sayings can convey the closest meaning of the underlined sentence in the first paragraph?A. No pains, no gains.B. Look before you leap.C. Honesty is the best policy.D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.(3) In the writer's opinion, the kids.A. should be guided to learnB. should do some great thingsC. should have time that is theirsD. should be allowed to run all over town(4) The main purpose of the passage is to.A. concern the healthy growth of kidsB. provide evidence of how kids liveC. criticize parents on unwise parentingD. give a lecture on kids' time management3、【来源】 2019年浙江高三上学期高考模拟（C篇）第28~30题7.5分Do we organize our thoughts in different ways because of the culture we belong to? If it is so, how can we describe those differences?The idea of different "cultural thought patterns" was first put forward by an American professor, Robert Kaplan, in the 1960s. He had been looking at the writing style of non-native students at his university in California. He found that the writing style changed systematically, according to the cultural origins of the students.For example, in his opinion, native speakers of English usually went "straight to the point" However, speakers of Semitic languages（such as Arabic and He brew）kept back tracking, and then returned to the point. Speakers of oriental languages （such as Chinese）were likely to approach the topic only little by little, as if they were moving around it in circled. Speakers of Romance languages（such as French and Spanish）were likely to stay away from the point, making it harder for readers to follow. Speakers of slap languages（such as Russian）often included ideas which didn't seem to be connected in any way to the development of the article.This view attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was expressed. People said it was not based on enough evidence at all, and it was TAL#NBSP biased because it was in supports English（which seemed to offer the "most useful" way of presenting the point of view）. Russian students, in particular, did not agree with the idea Kaplan had of them.But Kaplan's work at least reminded us that people from different cultural backgrounds do have different ways of presenting ideas, or telling stories, and that, even if these differences are difficult, and perhaps impossible to sort out, just knowing that they exist can help us to understand and appreciate each other better.(1) What is the author' s purpose in writing Paragraph 2?A. To present his own idea.B. To introduce Robert Kaplan.C. To draw readers to the topic.D. To provide examples of the topic.(2) What does the underlined word "biased" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Wrong.B. Usual.C. Direct.D. Humorous.(3) Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Thinking across culturesB. Skills for speaking wellC. Reading between linesD. Differences in cultures.二、七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）4、【来源】 2019年浙江高三上学期高考模拟第31~35题10分根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

(2015·江苏，C)Suppose you become a leader in an organization.It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities.To do so，it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer.Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved.For example，people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness，to expand their range of experiences，and to strengthen social relationships.If volunteer positions do not meet these needs，people may not wish to participate.To select volunteers，you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so.To increase levels of community service，some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs.Unfortunately，these programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g.，“I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external factor (e.g.，“I volunteer because I’m required to do so”)．When that happens，people become less likely to volunteer in the future.People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.Once people begin to volunteer，what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question，researchers have conducted follow－up studies in which they track volunteers over time.For instance，one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year.One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions.Although this result may not surprise you，it leads to important practical advice.The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with th e problem they do experience”．Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role.It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work.Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers’ expectations，they found a positive correlation (正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer.These results，once again，lead to concrete advice：“Once an individual begins volunteering，continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity...Items like T－shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”．【语篇解读】本文讲述了志愿者为什么自发地去服务社会，并通过三个实验分析志愿者的意图。

浙江省2019届高三英语高考模拟卷（八）一、阅读理解(共3题；共10分)1．（3分）阅读理解“That one looks just like a sheep!And look over there.That one looks like a horse!”Do you remember lying on your back in a grassy field on a summer afternoon,discovering the soft shapes in the clouds in the sky?Those were the good old days when you could see anything and everything in the clouds.But now people look at the sky and see clouds in the shape of a motor company's advertising logo (商标),or a message inviting them to go out and buy a certain brand(品牌)of beer.These cloud pictures are not products of their imaginations.Instead,they are produced by a machine.These new floating advertisements are called Flogos;the name stands for“floating logos.”They're made from a mixture of soapy foam(泡沫)and a lighter-than-air gas such as helium,and they can be made into different sizes and shapes depending on the advertisement.Flogos can last up to an hour if weather conditions are good,and they can fly several kilometers high.Advertisers can rent a Flogo machine for$2,500a day.The set-up is normally performed within1to2 hours,and it will release four Flogos per minute.Advertisers can fill the air with any shape or message they want.Some people are worried that the Flogos might not be pollution-free.However,the Flogo's inventor insists that the soap he uses is natural,and that a Flogo just dissipates in the air,leaving nothing behind. Though it may be true that Flogos are environmentally friendly,some people believe that the natural clouds in our memory may be replaced by man-made ones.They are afraid that soon there will be nowhere left where their imaginations can float freely.（1）（1分）The author mentions the animal-like clouds to show that.A．clouds remind us of the good old daysB．clouds can become any interesting shapeC．weather conditions were much better in the pastD．people observed the sky more carefully in the old days（2）（1分）What does the underlined word“dissipates”in the last paragraph mean? A．Hides.B．Travels.C．Remains.D．Disappears.（3）（1分）We can infer from the end of the text that some people.A．believe what the Flogos'inventor saysB．prefer the new floating advertisements to othersC．fear that Flogos will leave nothing to their imaginationsD．hope that companies will advertise by using natural clouds2．（3分）阅读理解Reading may be fundamental,but how the brain gives meaning to letters on a page has been a mystery.Two new studies fill in some details on how the brains of efficient readers handle words.One of the studies,published in the April30Neuron,suggests that a visual-processing area of the brain recognizes common words as whole units.Another study,published online April27in PLOSONE,makes it known that the brain operates two fast parallel systems for reading,linking visual recognition of words to speech.Maximilian Riesenhuber,a neuroscientist at Georgetown University in Washington,D.C.,wanted to know whether the brain reads words letter by letter or recognizes words as whole objects.He and his colleagues showed sets of real words or nonsense(无意义的词语)words to volunteers undergoing FMRI scans.The words differed in only one letter,such as“farm”and“form”or“soat”and“poat”,or were completely different,such as“farm”and“coat”or“poat”and“hime”.The researchers were particularly interested in what happens in the visual word form area,or VWFA,an area on the left side of the brain just behind the ear that is involved in recognizing words.Riesenhuber and his colleagues found that neurons(神经元)in the VWFA respond strongly to changes in real words.Changing“farm”to“form”,for example,produced as great a change in activity as changing“farm”to“coat”,the team reports in Neuron.The area responded slowly to single-letter changes in made-up words.The data suggests that readers grasp real words as whole objects,rather than focusing on letters or letter combinations.And as a reader's exposure to a word increases,the brain comes to recognize the shape of the word.“Meaning is passed on after recognition in the brain”,Riesenhuber says.The researchers don't yet know how longer and less familiar words are recognized,or if the brain can be trained to recognize nonsense words as a unit.（1）（1分）Riesenhuber's research probably focuses on whether the brain. A．recognizes words as a unit or reads them letter by letterB．operates two fast parallel systems for readingC．takes longer to read less familiar words or notD．handles nonsense words as a unit（2）（1分）Riesenhuber and his colleagues carried out their research by.A．giving pairs of real words totally differentB．arranging the words in different orderC．showing pairs of different wordsD．making volunteers read some longer words（3）（1分）Riesenhuber's research is significant in that it shows how the brain. A．responds to familiar words B．relates meaning to letters C．recognizes the form of a word D．reacts to made-up words3．（4分）阅读理解Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)?When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out important information that should be included,he can give you a false picture.For example,someone might say,“I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票).It was great.I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guy's a winner,right?Maybe,maybe not.We then discover that he bought$200worth of tickets,and only one was a winner.He's really a big loser!He didn't say anything that was false,but he left out important information on purpose.That's called a half-truth.Half-truths are not technically lies,but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick.Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term,her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.Then she seeks another term.One of her opponents(对手) says,“During Governor Smith's term,the state lost one million jobs!”That's true.However,an honest statement would have been,“During Governor Smith's term,the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths.It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth.An advertisement might say,“Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too often.It's a sad fact of life:Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well.（1）（1分）How much did the lottery winner lose?A．One hundred dollars.B．Two hundred dollars.C．Three hundred dollars.D．Four hundred dollars.（2）（1分）We may infer that the author believes people should.A．buy lottery ticketsB．make use of half-truthsC．be careful about what they are toldD．not trust the Yucky Company（3）（1分）What do the underlined words“net gain”in Paragraph5mean?A．Final increase.B．Big advantage.C．Large share.D．Total saving.（4）（1分）Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A．He's really a big loser!B．Sometimes the truth can lie as well.C．Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.D．It's against the law to make false statements.二、任务型阅读(共1题；共5分)4．（5分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

(2016·浙江，D)Two things changed my life：my mother and a white plastic bike basket.I have thought long and hard about it and it’s true.I would be a different person if my mom hadn’t turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I carry with me today.My mother and father were united in their way of raising children，but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out.Looking back，I honestly don’t know how she did it.Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task，but she made it look effortless.If we complained about not having what another kid did，we’d hear something like，“I don’t care what so－and－so got for his birthday，you are not getting a TV in your room/a car for your birthday/a lavish sweet－16 party.” We had to earn our allowance(零用钱) by doing chores around the house.I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table.My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house.Like the two little girls growing up at the White House，we made our own beds (no one left the house until that was done)and picked up after ourselves.We had to keep track of our belongings，and if something was lost，it was not replaced.It was summer and，one day，my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed—and there it was in the window.White，shiny，plastic and decorated with flowers，the basket winked at me and I knew—I knew—I had to have it.“It’s beautiful，” my mother said when I pointed it out t o her，“What a neat basket.”I tried to hold off at first.I played it cool for a short while.But then I guess I couldn’t stand it any longer：“Mom，please can I please，please get it? I’ll do extra chores for as long as you say.I’ll do anything，but I need that basket.I love that basket.Please，Mom.Please？”I was desperate.“You know，” she said，gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing ever，“If you save up you could buy this yourself.”“By the time I make enough it’ll be gone！”“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you，” she smiled at Roger，the bike guy.“He can’t hold it for that long，Mom.Someone else will buy it.Please，Mom，please？”“There might be another way，”she said.And so our paying plan unfolded.My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding place I couldn’t find.Each week I eagerly counted my growing saving increased by extra work here and there (washing the car，helping my mother make dinner，delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front)．And then，weeks later，I counted，re－counted and jumped for joy.Oh，happy day! I made it! I finally had the exact amount we’d agreed upon...Days later the unthinkable happened.A neighborhood girl I’d played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny，new bike that already had all the bells and whistles.I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster.This horrible turn of events.And then came the lesson I’ve taken with me through my life：“Honey，your basket is extra－special，” Mom said，gently wiping away my hot tears.“Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself.”【语篇解读】本文为一篇记叙文。

(xx·浙江，C)A scientist working at her lab bench and a six－month－old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in mon.After all，the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world，and the baby is，well，just playing...right？Perhaps，but some developmental psychologists(心理学家)have argued that this“play”is more like a scientific investigation than one might think.Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table.Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge，it falls to the ground—and，in the process，it brings out important evidence about how physical objects interact(相互作用)：bowls of rice do not float in mid－air，but require support to remain stable.It is likely that babies are not born knowing the basic fact of the universe；nor are they ever clearly taught it.Instead，babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact.Though their ranges and tools differ，the baby’s investigation and the scientist’s experiment appear to share the same aim(to learn about the natural world )，overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world)，and logic (are my observations what I expected？)．Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way—that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means.For example，it may only be through repeated experiments，evidence gathering，and finally overturning a theory，that a baby will e to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has，for example，unlike the child，Mommy actu ally doesn’t like Dove chocolate.Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws light on how children learn，but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists.Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists havesuggested that science as an effort—the desire to explore，explain，and understand our world—is simply something that es from our babyhood.Perhaps evolution(进化) provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds，and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children.The same cognitive(认知的) systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists.As some psychologists put it，“It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

(2015·天津，C)One day when I was 12，my mother gave me an order：I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summer.This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.In the library，I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random.The cover of a book caught my eye.It presented a picture of a beagle.I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him.I never forgot my beagle.There on the book’s cover w as a beagle which looked identical(相同的) to my dog.I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover.My eyes ran across the title，Amos，the Beagle with a Plan.Unknowingly，I had read the title.Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos.I read very，very slowly with difficulty.Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home.That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book.At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，in my mind，running together.My mother’s call returned me to the rea l world.I suddenly realized something：I had read a book，and I had loved reading that book.Everyone knew I could not read.But I had read it.Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous”(奇迹般的) experience that summer，but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year.And years later，she was proud that her son had read thousands of books，was awarded a PhD in literature，and authored his own books，articles，poetry andfiction.The power of the words has held.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过自己成功的经历来说明读书可以矫正阅读困难的毛病。
