2018高考英语全国二卷真题考第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)ASummer ActivitiesStudents should read the list with their parents/carers, and select two activities they would like to do. Forms will be available in school and online for them to indicate their choices and return to school. Before choices are finalized, parents/ carer s will be asked to sign to confirm their child’s choices.21. Which activity will you choose if you want to go camping?A. OUT.B. WBP.C. CRF.D. POT.22. What will the students do on Tuesday with Mrs. Wilson?A. Travel to London.B. See a parade and fireworks.C. Tour central Paris.D. Visit the WWI battlefields.23. How long does Potty about Potter last?A. Two days.B. Four days.C. Five days.D. One week.BMany of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.24. What does the author seem to like about cherries?A. They contain protein.B. They are high in vitamin A.C. They have a pleasant taste.D. They are rich in antioxidants.25. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A. To make them smell better.B. To keep their colour.C. To speed up their ripening.D. To improve their nutrition.26. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?A. A dessert.B. A drink.C. A container.D. A machine.27. From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A research paper.D. A travel brochure.CTeens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2—8, remain largely the same.But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.28. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A. Children’s reading habits.B. Quality of children’s books.C. Children’s after-class activities.D. Parent-child relationships.29. Where can you find the data that best supports "children are reading a lot less for fun"?A. In paragraph 2.B. In paragraph 3.C. In paragraph 4.D. In paragraph 5.30. Why do many parents limit electronic reading?A. E-books are of poor quality.B. It could be a waste of time.C. It may harm children’s health.D. E-readers are expensive.31. How should parents encourage their children to read more?A. Act as role models for them.B. Ask then to write book reports.C. Set up reading groups for them.D. Talk with their reading class teachers.DWe’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more lik ely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable soc ial practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talki ng to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A. Addiction to smartphones.B. Inappropriate behaviours in public places.C. Absence of communication between strangers.D. Impatience with slow service.33. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A. Showing good manners.B. Relating to other people.C. Focusing on a topic.D. Making business deals.34. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?A. It improves family relationships.B. It raises people’s confidence.C. It matters as much as a formal talk.D. It makes people feel good.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Conversation CountsB. Ways of Making Small TalkC. Benefits of Small TalkD. Uncomfortable Silence第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分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。

"or" I really don't feel comfortable talking ab out this．"Don't say "I don't know"Practice being honest on the simple things．Abraham Lincoln became famous for going to great lengths to return a few cen ts that did not belong to him，hence the nickname" Honest Abe"．By applying honesty to th e little things，you will get in the habit of being honest in general．5．What's the author's attitude towards becoming honest? A．Optimistic．B．Pessimistic．C．Skeptical．D．Unconce rned．6．What does the underlined word “reinforce” in paragraph 1 mean?A．show B．strengthen C．express D．weak 7．What's the author's main purpose of writing the text? A．To encourage people to be honest．B．To arouse readers 'interest in being famous．C．To call on people to learn from Abraham Lincoln．D．To advice us to say sorry to the person we lied to．8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Challenge YourselfB．No Need to Lie to OthersC．Honesty is the Best PolicyD．Little Things Can Make a BigDifference．CA great invention by an 18-year-old high school student grew out of a simple problem most tee nagers meet with.“I'm a teenager and I have a cell phone and my cell phone bat tery always dies，so I was really looking for a way to improve energy storage,”Eesha Khare said on Tuesday. “That's how I came across the super capacitor.”The teenager who came from California, and graduated from high school last week，won a $50，000 prize on May 17，2013 at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair fo r creating a device that can store enough energy to charge a cell phone in 20 to 30 seconds.“It charges very quickly and can store a lot of ener gy,” Khare said. “The cool thing is that it's a lot thinner than one strand of hair.”Khare hasn't used her invention to recharge a cell phone yet ，but she used it to power a light-emitting diode (LED) in order to show its capability(容量). If used on cell phones, the supercharger would slide on to the phone's battery to juice it up in a matter of seconds. The t echnology isn't available to consumers yet，and it could be years until it is.At an Intel event in Phoenix，Khare won the Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award，taking second place overall in the world's largest high school science research competition. She beat out more than 1, 600 finalists from 70 countries. She said that she has been approa ched by several companies to continue her research, but she is now focused on attending in autumn.“Right now, just my education，but hopefully we'll see what happens in the future,” she said a bout her plans. “I have a lot of interests，so we'll see what I do in the future.”9. The passage starts with ________．A．what problem most teenagers meet with in lifeB．how Khare helped others with their problemsC．why Khare decided to make the inventionD．how teenagers make use of their cell phones10. According to the passage, Khare ________．A．was most probably born in 1995B．will graduate from high schoolC．will donate much of her prizeD．is the first teenager to win such a big prize11. The super capacitor ________．A．is as thin as a hairB．can produce enough energy soonC．has been popular on the marketD．has not been put in use in daily lifeDClimate change will force exhausted birds migrating to Europe from Africa to travel further, with possibly disastrous consequ ences, according to a study.The annual voyage of some species, which fly north insearch of food and suitable habitats, could increase by as m uch as 400 kilometers (250 miles), the research found. “Marat hon migrations for some birds are set to become even longer,” said Stephen Willis, a professor at Durham University in an d the main architect of the study. “This is bad news for birds li ke the White throat, a common farmland bird. The added dista nce is a considerable threat. As temperatures rise and habitat s change, birds will face their biggest challenge since the Pleistocene era (更新世), which ended 11,000 years ago,” he said in a statement. Some 500 million birds migrate each year from Africa, some weighing as little as nine grams (three-tenths of an ounce). To complete a voyage that can be thousa nds of kilometers long, birds have to fatten themselves up to t wice their normal weight. Some even shrink their internal organs (收缩内脏) to become more fuel efficient, so any additional distance may be dangerous.The study finds that from 2007 to 2010, nine out of 17 species examined are going to face longer migrations, particularly bir ds that cross the . Some birds travel the Sahara and the Medi terranean Sea in a one go, while others have a break in north ern Africa before crossing. Many fly at night, when temperatur es are cooler.A few — such as the Blackcap — have started to adapt by sp ending winters in Britain, but such behavior remains exception al, the study said. The study forecasts that the migration dista nce of the Orphean Warbler will jump from 2,700 kilometers (1,700 miles) to between 3,050 an d 3,350 kilometers (1,900 and 2,100 miles), with even longer i ncreases for the Subalpine and Barred Warblers.12. Whatdoes traveling extra distance mean for some migrating birds?A. Better living conditions.B. Better physical health.C. Stronger ability to fly.D. Bigger threat to life.13. To complete the marathon migrations, some birds have to do the following except ______.A. have a break in the SaharaB. put on more weightC. reduce the size of internal organsD. fly at night to avoid the heat14. What can we infer from the text?A. Birds have to migrate from Africa to Europe in winter.B. Global warming is bad for all birds worldwide.C. Birds that are of small size don’t need to migrate.D. Some birds have to migrate unless they adapt to climate c hange.15. What’s the best title of the text?A. Climate change leads to disastrous consequenceB. The annual voyage of some speciesC. How birds migrate for longer distancesD. Climate change pushes birds to migrate farther第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ASaving Our Oceans●Your MissionTeach oceanographers(海洋学者)with different specialties about other ocean specialties and thus create a better understanding of the ocean as a complete, diverse system.●BriefingYou've been invited to lead the International Oceanographic Conference in Oslo, Norway. Over one hundred of your fellow oceanographers will attend it. The problem is, with so many different specialties in the field-from geological to biological oceanography-the oceanographers at the conference are finding it difficult to understand what their colleagues are studying, let alone to grasp the ocean as an entire, diverse system!Your job will be to give the opening speech at the Conference outlining the general kinds of oceanography in a way that each type of oceanographers will understand. Then, you will assign different oceanographers to different projects and explain to them how best to work together.●Family-x fileYounger Xpeditioners: Pick one project, and learn more about it through its photo gallery. Then, create a poster based on the animals and terrain(地形). Make sure to label each animal that you draw. Show your poster to your family and describe to them what you have drawn.Older Xpeditioners: Learn more about each of the projects: Where in the ocean would oceanographers go to study them? What animals might oceanographers study in the project? Which types of oceanographers would you assign for each project and how would they work together?Finally, think about the ways in which the different general kinds of oceanography might relate. Why is it important to look at the ocean as an entire system, rather than as distinct parts? How might looking at each separate part and the ocean as a whole impact conservation efforts? Practice your speech for the Conference in front of your family.21. What is your mission according to the text?A. To save the oceans all over the earth.B. To attend the International Oceanographic Conference in Norway.C. To enter for an activity with one hundred fellow oceanographers.D. To help better understand the ocean as a complete, diverse system.22. Where can you get the detailed instructions for you in advance?A. From the leader of the conference.B. From Younger Xpeditioners.C. From the part of Briefing.D. From Older Xpeditioners.23. How should you prepare your speech according to the text?A. Practice it at home with the family in front.B. Ask a lot of questions about the oceans.C. Create a poster to get informed.D. Invite other oceanographers to take part.BI have been teaching the tenth-grade English for four years. Needless to say, I love my subject and vowed to one day impart(透露) my love of literature to my future students. Well, I must admit, I have made more than a difference. I have changed the way students perceive(感知) literature and have even inspired some to become English teachers.One student in particular is named John. I met him last year when he was a student in my English class during the eighth period. He sat in the back often, saying very little. However, I sensed that he was taking in all that I taught. John was never absent nor was he late. He seemed very mature for his age.As the year progressed, we read lots of poetry and various stories about different cultures and real-life experiences. I have always wanted literature to speak to my students so that they could find relevant connections which would finally give them that motivation to read, write and interpret. While reading and writing poetry, John wrote some beautiful poetry that spoke of his experiences as a black male in America.On the last day of school, students were asked to write a brief autobiographical essay and to dedicate(献给) it to someone he or she thought was significant in his or her life. John dedicated his essay to me and used clip art that decorated the dedication with roses.He stated in the essay that "some people you meet in life are flowers, but then there are those who are roses. Ms. Hopkins, Ijust want you to know that you are a rose in my life and I have enjoyed every minute of being in your class. You have shown me that I have purpose in life and that I am a poet. I will never forget you." Tears streamed down my eyes. I had had a particularly hard personal life that year and somehow that letter made it worth the struggle.Making a significant contribution to someone's life is something money could never buy. Teaching allows teachers to make a positive difference in the life of someone.24. What's the author's purpose to take John for example?A. To show that her students were all excellent readers.B. To develop her own idea about English literature.C. To prove what she had just said was true.D. To persuade her readers to change their minds.25. Why did John choose to dedicate his autobiographical essay to Ms. Hopkins?A. He thought she was significant in his life.B. He wanted to say to her that she was a red rose.C. He expected her to know he had enjoyed her class.D. He remembered she had promised to let him be a poet.26. What kind of person was the author according to the text?A. Gentle.B. Passionate.C. Humorous.D. Indifferent.27. Which of the following can be the best title for this text?A. The difference a good teacher can makeB. The friendship Ms. Hopkins and John developedC. An experience only Ms. Hopkins and her students could haveD. The significant contribution everyone can makeCZach Bonner knows just how far trying can get you. Earlier this month the eleven-year-old completed his biggest charity project to date. He walked almost two thousand kilometers from his home in Florida to Washington D.C. to raise money for homeless children in America. Zach called his project "From My House to the White House". He carried a message to the American president and lawmakers. He asked for help for the homeless children in the United States. The walk raised tens of thousands of dollars for Zach's cause.His mother says Zach has always enjoyed community service work. It began when Hurricane Charley hit Florida in 2014. Zach decided to help victims by walking around his area with his little red wagon collecting and giving out bottles of water. He got the nickname "Little Red Wagon Boy". Now, "Little Red Wagon" is the name of Zach's foundation. It has raised money for playgrounds and shelters for homeless children. Zach also gives out thousands of backpacks. He fills each "Zachpac" with a toy, personal cleaning supplies, socks, sewing supplies, a first-aid kit and food.Zach has won many awards, met several presidents and been on television. But that is not why he wants to help people. Zach Bonner says if you have a good heart you have to use it. And, he says, charity work is a lot of fun.Eighteen-year-old Christina Johnson and her older sister Geneva started their project, "Bring It On" in the Bronx area of New York City in 2014. They wanted to improve the place where they lived. The area was so dangerous that their parents would not let them play outside.The girls started a program to empower children in their community. "Bring It On" organizes environmental "jams" to clean up waste in the area. The group also holds classes and talks on health, leadership, how to set up small businesses and other issues. "Bring It On" receives money and other support from local businesses and other sponsors.28. Which of the following is NOT true about Zach Bonner?A. He had persuaded his mother to work with him.B. His walk helped raise a large amount of money.C. He won his nickname by helping the victims with a little red wagon.D. He enjoyed himself in doing community service work.29. Why was Zach Bonner's foundation started?A. To ask the American president and lawmakers for help.B. To win awards and appear on television.C. To have a lot of fun with other people.D. To raise money for homeless children.30. What does the underlined phrase "empower children" in the last paragraph refer to?A. Give children the power to do anything.B. Take control of children.C. Enable children to live safely.D. Stop children playing with each other.31. What can be inferred according to the text?A. "Little Red Wagon" and "Bring It On" are the nicknames of youths.B. Young people are leading the way in volunteering in the United States.C. The girls started their program to find lost children in their community.D. Christina Johnson and Geneva are making efforts to raise money.DCompanion planting is the idea that when some crops are planted together, they help eachother grow. The compatible plants generally have similar needs for nutrients, soil and moisture.Advice for companion plantings is sometimes based more on tradition than proof. But Fabian Fernandez at the University of Illinois says there is evidence for some combinations. These can lead to better crops, reduce disease and help with pest control byattracting helpful insects. For example, some kinds of soil bacteria take nitrogen(氮) from the air and make a form that plants can use. The plants keep the nitrogen in their roots. Legumes(豆类) are especially good at this. Any crops sharing the same space can get the nitrogen as the roots decompose(腐烂).Crops like beans and potatoes, carrots and cabbages, beans and rice can also share territory well because their roots reach different levels in the soil. Deep-rooted vegetables get nutrients and moisture from lower down, so they do not compete with shallower plants. But some plants placed together may harm each other's development. For example, tomatoes do not like wet soil but watercress does, as the name suggests. So you would probably not want to put them together.Even after harvest, some kinds of produce should be kept apart. Apples, for example, release ethylene gas,a plant hormone. It can cause other foods to ripen(成熟)too quickly. Markets often separate high ethylene-producing foods from those that are sensitive to the gas. But sometimes you might want them together. For example, if you put an apple in a bag with a green banana, the banana will be ready to eat sooner.Now what about peaches, plums and nectarines that are too firm to eat? Growers in California answer this question at . They say an apple,a banana or a riper piece of fruit is not needed. The peaches, plums and nectarines themselves release enough of the gas to ripen successfully.Here's their advice: place the fruit in afruit bowl or in a paper bag with the top folded over. Keep the fruit at room temperature. When the fruit is soft enough to your liking, either use it or place it in a refrigerator to stop further ripening.32. What are the basic needs for companion planting?A. Good old companions.B.Some kinds of soil bacteria.C. Nutrients, soil and moisture.D.Helpful insects.33.

But the amount of time spent in reading each sessionhad declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. Itdoes point out that many parents still limit electronic reading mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parentsserving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading.Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parentswho read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.At the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom逼( 近) ahead, parents might take the chance to step in and make their own summer readinglist and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.26.

Talk with their reading class teachers.DWe?ve been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, strugglingwith the uncomfortable silence.What?s the problem? It is possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It?s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it?s awkward and challenging, or we think it?sannoying and unnecessary.But the next time you find yourself among strangers,consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it?s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can?t forget that deep relationships wouldn?t even exist if it weren?t for casual conversation. Small talk isthe grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director ofthe Shyness Research Institute at Indian University Southeast. ost every grea“t Alm love story and each big businessdeal begins with small talk, h”e explains. “Thekey to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them. ”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC,invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary.The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantlyhigher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It?s not thathe waiter is better than talking to your husband, ”say Dunn. “But interacperipheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-beingalso. ”Dunn believes that people who research out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing sucha sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Smalltalk is the basis of good manners, ”he says.30. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A. Addiction to smartphones.B. Inappropriate behaviours in public places.C. Absence of communication between strangers.D. Impatience with slow service.31. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A. Showing good manners.B. Relating to other people.C. Focusing on a topic.D. Making business deals.32. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?A. It improves family relationships.B. It raises people?s confidence.C. It matters as much as a formal talk.D. It makes people feel good.33. What is the best title for the text?A. Conversation CountsB. Ways of Making Small TalkC. Benefits of Small TalkD. Uncomfortable Silence第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Slowly and quietly，I walked up and sat down beside her. “What’s wrong?”I asked. “Oh，nothing，’’ came a soft reply，“I am just too short. ” The coach told her that at 165 cm she would probably never play for a top team—still less she would be offered a scholarship 一so she should stop dreaming about college.

ASummer ActivitiesStudents should read the list with their parents/careers, and select two activities theywould like to do. Forms will be available in school and online for them to indicate their choices and return to school. Before choices are finalised, parents/careers will be asked tosign to confirm their child’s choices.21.Which activity will you choose if you want to go camping?....22.What will the students do on Tuesday with Mrs. Wilson?A. Travel to London.B. See a parade and fireworks.C. Tour central Paris.D. Visit the WWI battlefields.23.How long does Potty about Potter last?A. Two days.B. Four days.C. Five days.D. One week.BMany of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fru its are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For th is purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.24. What does the author seem to like about cherries?A. They contain protein.B. They are high in vitamin A.C. They have a pleasant taste.D. They are rich in antioxidants.25.
