【1题详解】考查定语从句。

product contains small parts that are for adult assembly （组装）only．Keep small children away when assembling．Remove all protective materials before assembly．Be sure to remove all packaging materials and parts from underneath the car body．•Battery pos ts contain lead known to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm．Never open the battery．•Body parts such as hands，legs，hair and clothing can get caught in moving parts．Never place a body part near a moving part or wear loose clothing while using the vehicle．Always wear shoes when using the vehicle．•Using the vehicle near streets，motor vehicles，drop﹣offs such as steps，water （swimming pools）or other bodies of water，hills，wet areas，in alleys，at night or in the dark could result in an unexpected accident．Instead，use the vehicle on the highway．Always use the vehicle in a safe，secure environment．•Using the vehicle in unsafe conditions such as snow，rain，loose dirt，mud，or sand may result inunexpected action，for example

vehicle58．Where can you probably find the text？A．An official report．B．A popular magazine．C．A physics textbook．D．A product handbook．59．（8分）Two of the saddest words in the English language are"if only"．I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words，because they convey regret，lost opportunities，mistakes，and disappointment．My father is famous in our family for saying，"Take the extra minute to do it right．"I always try to live by the"extra minute"rule．When my children were young and likely to cause accidents，I always thought about what I could do to avoid an"if only"moment，whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter，or something that required a little more work such as taping padding （衬垫）onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table．I don't only avoid those"if only"moments when it comes to safety．It's equally important to avoid"if only"in our personal relationships．We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say"I love you"or"I forgive you．"When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday，I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn't be here．But then I thought about the fact that he's 84years old and I realized that I shouldn't give up an opportunity to see him．I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all．I know there will still be occasions when I have to say"if only"about something，but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality．And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right，or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection，I know that I'm doing the right thing．I'm buying myself peace of mind and that's thebest kind of insurance for my emotional well﹣being．59．Which of the following is an example of the"extra minute"rule？A．Start the car the moment everyone is seated．B．Leave the room for a minute with the iron working．C．Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better．D．Move an object out of the way before it trips someone．60．The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to．A．keep her appointment with the eye doctorB．meet her father who was already an old manC．join in the holiday celebration of the companyD．finish her work before the deadline approached61．The underlined word"foregone"in Paragraph 3is closest in meaning to．A．abandoned B．lackedC．avoidedD．wasted62．What is the best title for the passage？A．The Emotional Well﹣beingB．The Two Saddest WordsC．The Most Useful RuleD．The Peace of Mind．63．（8分）Turning the lights out or wearing a blindfold while eating could be a quick way to lose weight，according to scientists．The simple trick works because it stops diners eating for pleasure rather than for calories．It also triggers （引发）a part of the brain that is worried that unseen food may go bad．An experiment by the University of Konstanz，in Germany，found that people who were blindfolded consumed nine percent fewer calories before they felt full，compared to those who could see．They also vastly overestimated how much they had eaten because they could not see how much was left on the plate．Blindfolded volunteers estimated they had eaten 88percent more than they actually had．Scientists believe that not seeing food on the table also allows the body to know when it is full in real time rather than remembering past experiences where it might have taken a full plate to feel full．In the experiment，50 people were blindfolded and 40were allowed to see their food．All were told not to eat within two hours of the experiment．They were then given three 95g bowls of chocolate ice cream and invited to eat for 15minutes．Their bowls were taken away and the remaining ice﹣cream weighed，while the participants were quizzed on how much they thought they had eaten．On average the group who could see ate 116g while the blindfolded groups ate 105g．However，theblindfolded group believed they had eaten 197g while compared with 159g for the non﹣blind volunteers．They were also asked how pleasant the ice﹣cream tasted and the blindfolded group rated lower than those who could see．"The experienced pleasure of eating was significantly lower in the blindfolded group．Not seeing the food might have decreased the appetite．Sight plays an important role in the eating experience and in the overall dining experience．"Previous studies have shown that the visual influence of food plays a large part in the taste．While restaurants that allow diners to eat in the dark state that it triggers other senses，in fact eating in darkness is likely to taste far milder than usual．63．With the lights out，diners eat less partly because．A．they want to quickly finish their mealsB．they trust their feelings more than everC．they focus more on fun than the caloriesD．they worry about the quality of the food64．We can learn from the passage that the blindfolded group．A．spent a much longer time eating the same foodB．believed they ate more than they really didC．depended on past experiences to feel fullD．thought the food tasted better than usual65．The last two paragraphs tell us that．A．diners are likely to lose their appetite eating in darknessB．senses rather than sight play an important role in the tasteC．findings of this experiment differ from the previous studiesD．restaurants benefit a lot from allowing diners to eat in the dark66．The main purpose of the passage is to．A．provide statistics related to eating in the darkB．offer reasons for people to eat in the dark areasC．inform the readers of the result of an experimentD．persuade the readers to lose weight in a new way．67．（8分）Let us all raise a glass to AlphaGo and the advance of artificial intelligence．AlphaGo，DeepMind's Go﹣playing AI，just defeated the best Go﹣playing human，Lee Sedol．But as we drink to its success，we should also begin trying to understand what it means for the future．The number of possible moves in a game of Go is so huge that，in order to win against a player like Lee，AlphaGo was designed to adopt a human﹣like style of gameplay by using a relatively recent development ﹣deep learning．Deep learning uses large data sets，"machine learning"algorithms （计算程序）and deep neural （神经的）networks to teach the AI how to perform a particular set of tasks．Rather thanprogramming complex Go rules and strategies into AlphaGo，DeepMind designers taught AlphaGo to play the game by feeding itdata based on typical Go moves．Then，AlphaGo played against itself，tirelessly learning from its own mistakes and improving its gameplayover time．The results speak for themselves．Deep learning represents a shift in the relationship humans have with their technological creations．It results in AI that displays surprising and unpredictable behaviour．Commenting after his first loss，Lee described being shocked by an unconventional move he claimed no human would ever have made．Demis Hassabis，one of DeepMind's founders，echoed this comment："We're very pleased that AlphaGo played some quite surprising and beautiful moves．"Unpredictability and surprises are﹣or can be﹣a good thing．They can indicate that a system is working well，perhaps better than the humans that came before it．Such is the case with AlphaGo．However，unpredictability also indicates a loss of human control．That Hassabis is surprised at his creation's behaviour suggests a lack of control in the design．And though some loss of control might be fine in the context of a game such as Go，it raises urgent questions elsewhere．How much and what kind of control should we give up to AI machines？How should we design appropriate human control into AI that requires us to give up some of that very control？Is there some AI that we should just not develop if it means any loss of human control？How much of a say should corporations，governments，experts or citizens have in these matters？These important questions，and many others like them，have emerged in response，but remain unanswered．They require human，not human﹣like，solutions．So as we drink to the milestone in AI，let's also drink to the understanding that the time to answer deeply human questions about deep learning and AI is now．67．What contributes most to the unconventional move of AlphaGo in the game？A．The capability of self﹣improvement．B．The constant input of large data sets．C．The installation of deep neutral networks．D．The knowledge of Go rules and strategies．68．A potential danger of AI is．A．the loss of human controlB．the friendly relationshipC．the fierce competitionD．the lack of challenge69．How should we deal with the unpredictability of AI？A．We should stop AI machines from developing even further．B．We should call on the government to solve these problems for us．C．We should rely on ourselves and come up with effective solutions．D．We should invent even more intelligent machines to solve everything．70．What's the author's attitude towards this remarkable advance in AI？A．Supportive．B．Optimistic．C．Doubtful．D．Cautious．七、（共1小题；每小题10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．选项中有两项为多余选项．71．（10分）Being Left﹣handed in a Right﹣handed WorldThe world is designed for right﹣handed people，but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left？（71）The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery．Since scientists have noticed that left﹣handedness tends to run in families，it's assumed that left﹣handedness has a genetic（基因的）component to it．（72）In fact，identical twins，who share the same genes，can sometimes prefer to use different hands．There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with，but many experts believe that it's kind of random．Historically，the left side and left﹣handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures．（73）In some areas，the left hand became known as the"unclean"hand．In many religions，the right hand of God is the favored hand．For example，Jesus sits at God's right side．God's left hand，however，is the hand of judgement．Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved．In some parts of Scotland，it is considered bad luck to meet a left﹣handed person at the start of a journey．（74） A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary．In some Asian（75）People come to realize that left﹣handedness is natural．People even noticed that many famous people are left﹣handed，including Benjamin Franklin，Leonardo Da Vinci，and Charlie Chaplin．Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better．The left﹣handedness is more easily adaptable to the right﹣handed world as well．Being left﹣handed is no longer a sad story now；instead，it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in．A．In other words，left﹣handers are born that way．B．Left﹣handedness used to be regarded as a disability．C．The unfavorable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied．D．Why do they prefer to use their left hand rather than their right hand for routine activities？E．Why do some parents force their left﹣handed children to become right﹣handed when writing？F．In Ghana，pointing，gesturing，giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude．G．Fortunately，nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject left﹣handedness like before．八、书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）76．（20分）第二节假设你是红星中学的学生李华．请根据以下四幅图的先后顺序，用英文写一篇周记，记述上周日你和父母一起骑车郊游的过程．注意：词数不少于60．提示词：郊区the

the last/past+段时间可知，用现在完成时．故选A．"will do"表示将要做某事；"Ved"表示过去的客观事实；"had done"表示过去的过去，过去有两个动作，先发生的用过去完成时，后发生的用一般过去时．22．【解答】答案：B 本题考查强调句型．强调句型是由it is/was…that/who…构成，用来对句子中的某个部分进行强调，使用时只要将被强调部分放到it is/was后即可，其它结构不变．如果强调的是人用who，其它都是that，故选B．23．【解答】答案：C根据句意可知，我（现在）熟悉热带雨林的原因，是因为我在南美洲住了两年；这里指过去发生的动作，所以要用一般过去时；B．过去进行时，表示过去某时间正进行的动作；D．过去完成时，表示过去某时间之前发生的动作；故选C24．【解答】答案：C 本题考查现在分词的用法．现在分词表示主动和进行的动作，在句中可以作定语，状语等．题干中谓语动词是appeared，空格要填非谓语动词，而且collect的宾语在后面，要用现在分词形式作A"charity wall"的后置定语．故选C．25．【解答】答案D．because"因为"，引导原因状语从句．since意思是"自从…以来"时，引导时间状语从句；意思是"既然"时，引导原因状语从句．if"如果"，引导条件状语从句．while表示"当…的时候"，引导时间状语从句；意为"尽管、虽然"，引导让步状语从句；意为"而、但是"，引导比较状语从句．分析可知，前后两句话之间是逻辑上的"让步"关系，再结合句子所表达的意思可知答案选D．26．【解答】答案：D动词accept与它的逻辑主语The suggestion构成被动关系；此处用在if后面，作条件状语；相当于if 引导的条件状语从句：If the suggestion is accepted；这里省略了the suggestion is；故选D27．【解答】答案：B不少考生看到"but are often treated the best"，认为该句缺主语，同时where、how只能作状语，而that 在名从中不作成份，因而误选A．其实该句只是为了避免重复，省略了主语we，在we complain most 中，complain是不及物动词，所以从句中不缺主语或宾语，应选D，where 表示"在…之处"．28．【解答】答案C．分析句子结构可知，逗号之前是主句，逗号之后是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词为"face with the rolling eyes（a most popular emoji）"，应该用关系代词which，前面主句中为主语从句，结构为"It+be+过去分词+that+从句"，故选C．29．【解答】答案：A．分析句子结构可知，know后面的为一个从句，作动词know的宾语，从句中means后面缺少宾语，所以用连接词what来引导，表示意味着的内容；故选A．who表示"谁"，可作主语和宾语；when表示时间，why表示原因此两项作时间状语和原因状语，均可排除．30．【解答】答案A．根据句意，中国引进全民二胎政策的"目的是"应付人口老龄化的挑战．这里用不定式做目的状语．故选A．31．【解答】答案：B．本句中因为see后面没有宾语，所以可推断主语you和see之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，即用被动结构，可排除A和C；又因为if引导的条件状语从句中的时态为一般现在时，所以主句中绝不可能是过去时，可排除D；结合句意"那你将会被视为落后于时代了"可知此处指的是将来会被认为落伍了．故选B．behind the times落后于时代．32．【解答】答案A．"can"能够，可能，有时会；"must"必须，肯定，偏偏；"should"应该，竟然；"need"需要．根据句意，没有喝足够的水"可能"会导致头疼和较差的体能表现．表示可能性的推测，故选A．33．【解答】答案D．A项"（表示方向）越过；（部份或全部覆盖）在…上面；由于；（表示论及）关于"；B项"沿着；顺着；靠着…边"；C项"对于；接近；朝，向"；D项"离开；从…落下；从…去掉"；根据句中"I don't want dog hair all over the bedspread"可知，我不想让狗毛落在床罩上（到处都是），说明我不想让狗接近床即远离床，因此D项符合语境，故选D．34．【解答】答案C．本题考查错综虚拟语气，根据语境可知，我现在很累，晚上不能跟你一起去看电影了，从句与现在虚拟，主句与将来的虚拟，故主句用主语+would/could/might/should/+V原形．选C．35．【解答】答案：B根据句中的时间状语now以及"I hope he can find a good publisher when he has finished"的句意，可知：Justin的书还没有写完，并且是现在正在写着；所以要使用现在进行时．C．现在完成时，不能与时间状语now连用；故选B五、完形填空（共1小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．36．D

【解答】考查动词．根据句意可知之后，一组运动员排队准备短跑比赛．line up 排队．故选C．46．A 【解答】考查形容词．根据句意可知作者注意到在排队的运动员中，其中有一个坐在轮椅上有着大大的微笑的小女孩．故选A．47．B

【解答】考查动词．根据句意可知当她最终接近终点线时，如雷的掌声响起．故选B．52．A 【解答】考查动词．根据句意可知作者站在终点线处欢呼着，眼泪掉落在脸颊．故选A．53．D 【解答】考查动词．根据句意可知这名非凡的运动员用自己的努力教会了这个没有奋斗动机的大学生．故选D．54．B 【解答】考查名词．根据句意可知在那天由于那位轮椅小女孩的勇气，作者长大了．故选B．55．D 【解答】考查动词．根据句意可知那天的经历让作者想起了一首诗的一句话："不管你做什么，都要竭尽所能，全力以赴．"故选D．六、阅读理解（共两节，40分）第一节（共4小题；每小题6分，共30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．56．C【解答】细节理解题，由第二段Keep small children away when

北京西城区2016高考英语（二轮）阅读理解选编（6）含答案【2016高考训练】阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

Working with a group of baboons (狒狒) in the Namibian desert，Dr.Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology，Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food，hidden in a box.Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task，while others had to learn for themselves.To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were，Dr.Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.She found that personality had a major impact on learning.The braver baboons learnt，but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did.In effect，despite being made aware of what to do，they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones.The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not，even though they spent more time watching.This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals，something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things.The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive (认知的) tasks not because they aren't clever enough to solve them，but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information.The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning.If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don't associate with the knowledgeable individuals，or they are too shy to use the information once they have it，information may not travel between all group members，preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.1．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．The design of Dr.Carter's research.B．The results of Dr.Carter's research.C．The purpose of Dr.Carter's research.D．The significance of Dr.Carter's research.2．According to the research，which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task?A．Those that have more experience.B．Those that can avoid potential risks.C．Those that like to work independently.D．Those that feel anxious about learning.3．Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4?A．Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning.B．Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.C．Some baboons observe others but don't follow them.D．Some baboons perform new tasks but don't concentrate.4．Dr.Carter's findings indicate that our culture might be formed through ________. A．storing informationB．learning from each otherC．understanding different peopleD．travelling between social groups答案：【语篇解读】本文是一篇科普说明文。

Blue planets Space is not black,but light green,a team of astronomers announced on January 10.They studied the light sent out by 200 000 galaxies。

What they found was that the average colour of the universe is a bit greener than turquoise（绿宝石）．The discovery was part of an attempt to test theories about how stars and galaxies form.Most astronomers believe that the universe probably started with a“blue period"when young blue stars filled space。

Now the universe is in a“green period”．They believe it will finally enter a“red period”when the older,redder stars appear.“The reas on for the colour changing is that the rate of stars forming is changing，”said Ivan Baldry，an astronomer who worked to find the average colour of light in the universe。

（2015·福建)Life can be so wonderful，full of adventure and joy。

It can also be full of challenges，setbacks(挫折) and heartbreaks。

Whatever our circumstances，we generally still have dreams，hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones.Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem,because when we go to change the way we do things，up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱）that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and what we’re seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的) suffering，the anxiety we feel。

But we’re never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more。
