(建议用时:30分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解A(2019·福建高三质量检查)When was the last time you told someone he inspired you to go to work each morning?Teachers at Oak Park High School in Kansas City, Missouri, did just that this September, when they pulled individual students out of classes to tell them just how much they appreciated them.The students’ reactions, which were captured(捕捉) on video and shared on YouTube, a now viral video website, ranged from shy thanks to hugs and tears.“I have been challenged to find a student who makes me want to come to school every day, ”said one teacher in the video, “and that’s you.”Jamie McSparin, a teacher in charge of the school’s academy program for atrisk sophomores(二年级学生) and juniors, posed the challenge, writes ABC Ne w s.“Initially when we pulled the kids out, they all thought they were in trouble, ”McSparin told ABC Ne w s.“Any teacherstudent interaction always seems to be negative(消极的),and that was something that bothered me too.No matter if they’re good kids or troublemakers or anything, they always thought they were in trouble, ”she said.McSparin said she got the idea for the project after attending a professional development workshop this summer called “the power of positivity”.“I like the idea of letting students know they are appreciated, because we do appreciate them.I just don’t think we say it enough, ”she told local news outlet WDAFTV.It’s safe to say the challenge was effective.“I feel special, ”said one of the boys in the video.“You should, ”said his teacher.“You are special.”【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了美国一所高中的老师发起一项挑战,将学生单独拉到教室外,向他们表达感激之情的故事。
1.What does the underlined word “posed”in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Presented.B.Rejected.C.Ignored. D.Evaluated.A解析:词义猜测题。
根据文章第五段和第六段可知,Oak Park High School的老师Jamie McSparin发起了这项挑战,并参与其中。
present意为“提出”,符合语境。
2.How did the students probably feel when pulled out of the classroom at first?A.Nervous. B.Thrilled.C.Curious. D.Encouraged.A解析:推理判断题。
根据第六段第一句中的“Initially when we pulled the kids out, they all thought they were in trouble”可知,最初把孩子们拉出来时,他们都认为他们有麻烦了。
因此可推断出起初当学生们被拉到教室外时他们感到很紧张,故本题选A。
B项意为“兴奋的,高兴的”;C项意为“好奇的”;D项意为“受到鼓舞的”。
3.What inspired McSparin to challenge the project?A.The trouble caused by students.B.The need of shooting the video.C.A seminar named “the power of positivity”.D.A program related to students’ interactions.C解析:细节理解题。

C项中的seminar与原文中的workshop是同义词,意思是“研讨会”;named与原文中的called是同义词,此处属于同义转化现象。

根据文章内容尤其是倒数第三段的内容可知,老师将学生拉出教室,向他们表达感激之情,是因为“每个人都需要被感激”。

B(2019·陕西部分学校第一学期摸底)Scientists are preparing tolaunch the world’s first machine to clean up the planet’s largest mass ofocean plastic.The experts believe the machine should be able to collect half ofthe detritus in the patch—about 40, 000 metric tons—within five years.In the past few weeks they have been busy welding together giant tubes that will sit on the surface of the sea and form the skeleton of the machine, creating the largest floating barrier ever made.The system, originally dreamt up by Mr.Slat, will be shipped out this summer to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, between Hawaii and California, which contains estimated 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic.It will be the first ever attempt to tackle the patch since it was discovered in 1997.Mr.Slat was 16 and still at school when he was diving in Greece and first saw for himself the amount of plastic polluting the sea.“There were more bags than fish down there, ”he recalls.Two years later he came up with a solution, quit university after six months and set up The OceanCleanup as a company.Mr.Slat says the first plastic to arrive on shore will be a major milestone.“We as humanity created this problem, so I think it’s also our responsibility to help solve it, ”he says.The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) covers an area of 1.6 million square kilometers and contains at least 79, 000 tons of plastic, research found last month.Most of it is made up of “ghost gear”—parts of abandoned and lost fishing gear, such as nets and ropes—often from illegal fishing vessels.Ghost gear kills more than 100, 000 whales, dolphins and seals each year, according to scientific surveys.Seabirds and other marine life are increasingly being found dead with stomachs full of small pieces of plastic.Creatures eat plastic discarded in the sea thinking it’s food but then starve to death because they are not feeding properly.Others are trapped and die of starvation or are strangled or suffocated by ghost gear.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了世界首个海洋垃圾清扫机的发明。
