The sun arrives early and I stare out my window, feeling shame for invading(侵犯)the privacy of the homeless woman who has settled across the street. I am not sure when she first appeared, maybe a month ago. Each morning I watch as she gets out from the narrow space between the two large buildings across from mine. She wears the same dirty, badly torn dress every day. I can see she fights to pull herself up into a standing position. She fails on the first two or three tries, but determination always wins out. She remains leaning against the wall for several long minutes, appearing to gather the necessary strength needed to pick up her possessions ﹣ all packed into five plastic bags. With tears in my eyes, I watch as she places her feet pointing outward to avoid falling. Her steps are measured and cautious as she slowly makes her way to the corner and disappears.When I first noticed this woman, I went across the street and offered her 20 dollars, but she turned her back to me and pretended not to see me. The expression on her face was one of shame, causing me to feel guilt for invading her privacy. The next night I bought a hotdog and a Coke, and left them in the spot when she was not there. Feeling like a spy, I watched as she ate the hotdog like a starving car that had not eaten for days.I too often find myself complaining about life, but when I look out my window and see the old woman, I feel the need to apologize for my foolish pride in not realizing how fortunate I really am.There are many poor people in my town. I have become familiar with many of their faces, and then suddenly they disappear. I know that one day the old woman will be gone and I will have no idea where she is. I fear that day.(1)What is the main idea of paragraph 2?________A.Life is tough for the homeless woman.B.Poverty causes the woman’s poor health.C.The woman doesn’t care about her appearance.D.Possessions mean much to the woman.(2)Why did the woman refuse the a uthor’s 20 dollars?________A.The money didn’t help much.B.She didn’t like the author.C.Accepting money was guilty.D.She felt her dignity was hurt.(3)What lesson does the author learn from the homeless woman?________plaints can sometimes make life worse.B.He should appreciate his present life more.C.More is to be done to make life meaningful.D.We should all apologize for ignoring the poor.(4)Which of the following words best describes the author of the text?________A.Optimistic.B.Sympathetic.C.Determined.D.Easy一going.【答案】ADBB【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文是一篇科教类阅读,属于记叙文,主要讲述了作者遇到了一个无家可归的女人,想要提供帮助,从她身上明白了他应该更多地感恩他目前的生活.【解答】(1)A.段落大意题.根据第二段内容,尤其是She wears the same dirty, badly torn dress every day.

This is the Reading Repair Cafe, part of an international network aimed at dealing with a world of rubbish.The helicopter belongs to William who cheerfully describes himself as “mecha nically incompetent”. He has owned it for 8 years, but 3 years ago it stopped working and it has been sitting unused in his cupboard ever since.He sits down at the table of Colin Haycock, an IT professional who volunteers at the repair cafe, which has been running for about four years and is a place where people can bring all manner of household items to be fixed for free. In less than five minutes, Haycock has fixed the helicopter and it works well.William looks ashamed; Haycock looks pleased.“I wish they were all that simple,” he says.Today, the repairers will stop 24kg of waste from going to landfill(垃圾填埋场) and save 284kg of CO2.Some items can’t be fixed on the spot but very little needs to be thrown away.Gabrille Stanley, who used to run a clothing business, says she was drawn to volunteeringat the repair cafe to fight the “throwaway culture” she sees.

The descriptions are scary. Some people felt fine in the morning and then were deadby night. Patients coughed up blood. Their faces turned blue. That was what happened in 1918. A deadly flu killed tens of millions of people around the world. It is 100 yearslater. Scientists are thinking about how to keep us safe from another super一flu.Dr. Anthony Fauci says we need one vaccine(疫苗) that can protect against most or all types of the flu. Scientists want a shot that people could get every 5or 10years to get rid of normal flu shots. Maybe someday we will need just one shot. It could last our whole lives. It will not be easy. Scientists have been learning about the flu for 100years. Still, the flu often beats our best plans to stop it. That is because it is always changing.The immune system(免疫系统) protects the body. It keeps us healthy by fighting things that might harm the body. To get around our immune system, the flu changes itself every year. Scientists have a new plan, though. They are learning how the flu tricks the immune system. They are finding which part of the flu stays the same each year. The 1918 flu outbreak shows why this is so important. Back then, there was no flu vaccine. There was no way to stop it. By winter 1919, the flu had infected one一third of the world’s population, killing more than 50 million people in a short time.In 2009, scientists made a great discovery. They learned somethingnew. Sometimes, people’s immune systems make a small number of special antibodies. Antibodies are proteins(蛋白质) in the blood. These proteins stop us from getting sick. These special antibodies can stop the flu. Scientists are trying different tricks to get people’s bo dies to make more of those antibodies. They still need to learnmore, though. In the meantime, Fauci says it is silly to think about what the next flu might bring."

AThe most welcome sight on a cold, wet winter night in London is the familiar shape of a London taxi cab approaching with its yellow "for hire" sign shining brightly. That shows it is ready to pick you up. Travelling by taxi in London is not just a way of going from one place to another. It is an experience to be enjoyed and remembered.The main reason for this is the drivers, who are called “cabbies.”Many of them are true Cockneys. This means they were born in the heart of London andspeak their own special dialect (方言)of English. All of them know every streetand famous building in the city, and all of them love to talk. A simple twenty-minute journey across town can become very interesting. You may have a discussion about the government and its leaders or a friendly talk about the driver's Aunty Nellie! One thing is for sure, it will never be boring. Cabbies know all the latest news about film stars, the Royal Family, government leaders, and popular singers or actors and actresses.They also know the best places to eat, shop and relax. And they can take you straight to any large hotel, department store, theatre or museum. They know the shortest way possible without even looking at a map, because everyone who wants to become a taxi driver must pass a very difficult examination in order to get a license to drive a taxi. The exam is called “The Knowledge.” It is a written test, and in it drivers are asked the shortest way from one place to another. Theymust take into account the time of day --in rush hour, a longer route(路线)maybe quicker -- and describe the best way. Moreover they must never forget the one-way streets!21. From what can we tell that someone is a Cockney?A. Their interest.B. Their manners.C. Their speech.D. Their appearance.22. What does the author suggest by mentioning “Aunty Nellie” in paragraph 2?A. Passengers are full of curiosity.B. Cabbies’ topics are wide-ranging.C. Aunty Nellie is popular in London.D. Londoners are friendly to each other.23. What is the purpose of “The Knowledge”?A. To qualify one to drive a taxi.B. To assess one’s driving skills.C. To test drivers’ ability to write.D. To check taxi drivers’ memory.BThis month millions of American kids can forget about classroom bells and set off for grandparents' homes, sleep-away camps and lifeguard stands. But summer vacation hasn't always been a birth right of U.S. school children. Beforethe Civil War, schools operated on one of two calendars (日历), neither of which included a summer vacation. Rural (农村的)schooling was divided into summerand winter terms, leaving kids free to help with the farm work in the spring planting and fall harvest seasons. Urban students, meanwhile, regularly had as many as 48 weeks of study a year, with one break per quarter.In the 1840s, however, educational reformers like Horace Mann moved to combine the two calendars out of concern that rural schooling was not enough and that overusing of young minds could lead to nervous disorders. Summer appeared as the obvious time for a break: it offered a rest for teachers, fit in the farming calendar and reduced doctors' concern that packing students into hot classrooms would promote the spread of disease.But people’s opinion about the modern U.S. school year, which averages 180 days, is still divided. Some experts say its pleasant but lazy summer break, which took hold in the early 20th century, is one of the reasons math skills and graduation rates of U.S. high schoolers ranked well below average in two international education reports published in 2007. Others insist that with childrenunder increasing pressure to devote their down time to internships(实习)orstudy, there's still room for an institution that protects the lazy days of childhood.24. What did the rural school calendar before the Civil War allow children to do?A. Enjoy a summer vacation.B. Take a break each quarter.C. Have 48 weeks of study a year.D. Assist their parents with farm work.25. What did the educational reformers do in the 1840s?A. They introduced summer vacation.B. They shortened rural school terms.C. They promoted the study of farming.D. They advocated higher pay for teachers.26. Why are some people unhappy about the modem U.S. school year?A. It pushes the teachers too hard.B. It reduces the quality of education.C. It ignores science instruction.D. It includes no time for internships.CI start every summer with the best of intentions: to attack one big book from the past, a classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious. Often the pairings of books and settings have been purely accidental: “Moby Dick” on a three-day cross-country train trip; “The Magic Mountain”in a New England beach side cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms, and little to do beyond row on the salt pond. Attempting “The Man Without Qualities” on a return to Hawaii, my nativestate, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes (册),then decided that I’d got the point and went swimming instead.But this summer I find myself at a loss. I’m not quite interested in Balzac, say, or “Tristram Shandy.”There’s always “War and Peace,”which I've covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the “War”part, set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyone’s name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite - once more into “The Waves”or“Justine,” which feels almost like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to properly belong in serious literature.And then there’s Stendhal’s“The Red and the Black,” which happens to bethe name of my favorite cocktail(鸡尾酒)of the summer, created by MichaelCecconi at Savoy and Back Forty. It is easy to drink, and knocking back three or four seems like such a delightful idea. Cecconi’s theory: “I take whatever’s fresh at the green market and turn it into liquid."The result is a pure shot of afternoon in the park, making one feel cheerful and peaceful all at once, lying on uncut grass with eyes shut, sun beating through the lids…27. What can we infer about the author from the first paragraph?A. He has a cottage in New England.B. He shows talents for literature.C. He enjoys reading when traveling.D. He admires a lot of great writers.28. What do the underlined words “get bogged down” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Get confused.B. Be carried away.C. Be interrupted.D. Make no progress.29. Why does the author say reading his favorite books feels like cheating?A. He finishes them quickly.B. He should read something serious.C. He barely understands them.D. He has read them many times before.30. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Books of SummerB. My Summer HolidaysC. To Read or Not to ReadD.

AIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy(识字)rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.” Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters—from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim—were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged.Removing him from the pantheon(名人堂)of English literature would make about as much senseas the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiencesfrom all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and pu t himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible—and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.21. Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A. They were difficult to understand.B. They were popular among the rich.C. They were seen as nearly worthless.D. They were written mostly by women.22. Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A. his reputation in FranceB. his interest in modern artC. his success in publicationD. his importance in literature23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To remember a great writer.B. To introduce an English novel.C. To encourage studies on culture.D. To promote values of the Victorian age.BSteven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road.What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year.So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers' argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags,which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport.And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at,they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is,the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists don't dispute(质疑) these points.They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.24. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help increase grocery sales.B. Recycle the waste material.C. Stop things falling off trucks.D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.25. What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Bans on plastic bags.B. Effects of city development.C. Headaches caused by garbage.D. Plastic bags hung in trees.26. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?A. They are quite expensive.B. Replacing them can be difficult.C. They are less strong than plastic bags.D. Producing them requires more energy.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Plastic, Paper or NeitherB. Industry, Pollution and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD. Garbage Collection and Waste ControlCAs cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line(装配线) on September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were produced the next month. But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them.Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car represented what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history.In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.” Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an industrial power.The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.The problems of excessive(过度的)energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L. Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best.Friedman points out that the green economy(经济)is a chance to keep American strength. “The ability to design, build and export green technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century.”28. Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2?A. To explain Americans’ love for travelling by car.B. To show the influence of cars on American culture.C. To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.D. To praise the effectiveness of America’s road system.29. What has the use of cars in America led to?A. Decline of economy.B.

For most parents and other caregivers, summer is by far the best season to connect kids with nature. The weather’s nice, and the youngsters are out of school. 1 So don’t miss the opportunity to schedule some outdoor time. Here are a few tips to help you along the way: Nature is all around us. 2 For small kids, there’s likely plenty in the backyard, courtyard, or schoolyard. National parks are great, but kids foster a deep connection with nature close to home!3 Don’t worry too much about what to do once you arrive at your nature-rich destination. What kids really need is free time to engage all their senses and use their imaginations.You can learn too. What counts is simply to get out there, show that you value the outdoors, and be ready to have fun. 4 In fact, it is not necessary for you to know anything at all about science or nature. And remember, questions are more powerful than answers anyway!Sit back and watch your kids lea rn. Don’t be too much of a helicopter parent, always saying "no". Instead, try to spare more time to stay with your kids when necessary.5 And let kids take some risks. Most of us climbed trees, played with sticks, and got muddy as kids — and we lived to tell the story. The nature connection is a contact sport, and both kids and nature can take it!No matter the weather or time of day you can have an adventure together with your kids. Alright, get those kids outside, into nature, making their own discoveries!A. It’s okay not to have a plan.B. Allow your kids to be kids.C. Pay close attention to your kids.D. Parents often take time off as well.E. You don’t need to be an expert on nature.F. You typically don’t have to go far to find nature.G. Sometimes it is necessary to turn to experts for advice.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。

2018年浙江省杭州市高考英语模拟试卷(二)第二部分阅读理解(共两节)第一节(每小题2.5分,满分25.0分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.1. Seventy﹣three﹣year﹣old George McNeilon selected his food in Value Mart very carefully. After leaving the cashier, he estimated (估计) that he had saved 80 cents and thought that he had got good value for his money again.At the exit, the chilly wind reminded him of his gloves. "Now where are they? " He searched here and there, but nowhere could he find them. He was sure he was wearing them when he entered the store. The worried man made a second search in all his pockets, again including the grocery bag. He was sure they must have been dropped somewhere inside the store.George bought the gloves at a 25% discount, for just $30, ten years ago. They were genuine lambskin (小羊皮), soft, warm and durable. Until then, he had worn cheaper man﹣made material that lasted no more than three years. His impulsive decision to buy the expensive gloves turned out to be a good one, which even promoted his social status on the bus, as passengers stared at him enviously for six months out of the year. He enjoyed being envied.Bad luck, George thought, to lose his expensive gloves on New Year's Eve. He reentered the store and followed the same route he had walked before. But several minutes of anxious search turned out to be in vain. "Society has changed.People have changed …" he murmured to himself. "Years ago, if people picked up something lost, they would give it back."Back home, George was at a loss. In deep winter, he could not do anything without a pair of gloves. If he bought cheap ones, he would have to replace them very soon. If he bought new leather ones, they would cost forty dollars.After the holiday, poor George decided to buy another pair of leather gloves. Before boarding the subway, he stepped into Value Mart again to see if by any chance his gloves had been returned to the lost and found office."What color are they? " the woman in the office asked."Black, " he answered.She looked into her drawer and drew out a pair of men's leather gloves."Are they? ""Yes! Those are mine!"(1)Which of the following is the most probable reason for George's shopping?________A To kill time in Value Mart as usual.B To prepare for the coming New Year.C To prove how wise he was with money.D To see whether there were gloves on sale.(2)What do we know about old George McNeilon?________A Pure but impolite.B Clever but simple.C Economical butvain. D Warmhearted but poor.(3)What can be inferred from the passage?________A In daily life, accidents will happen.B Never ever jump to conclusions.C A penny saved is a penny earned.D A loss may turn out to be a gain.2. Twenty﹣five years ago, as a parent educator, I began reading about the dangers of praise. I was completely shocked by what I was learning: praise is not good for our kids. How could that be? So I spent years talking with experts, reading about the effects of praise, and finally decided to close the door on praise and focus on building an encouraging family.Even today, with many studies available to parents, I still hear people say, "How can that be? How can saying ‘Good job' or ‘You're smart' be bad? " I understand. It can be a difficult habit to break.If we tell a boy "You are so smart!" when he brings home an A in his math test, how does he feel when he comes home with a D? If we've told him that he is smart, then he will more likely feel a failure when he struggles with homework ﹣ "I'm supposed to be smart. Why can't I do this? "Praise trains children to depend on constant feedback on what a "great job" they are doing. This dependency shatters rather than builds children's confidence. Praise trains children to ask, "Do you like it? " "Did I do a good job? " "Are you proud of me? " They begin to believe that what others think is more important than what they think about their achievements and mistakes.Praise breaks the relationship between parents and children. Without even realizing it, parents may be using praise as a tool to direct the child's behavior. The message is clear ﹣I approve of you when you …and I do not approve of you when you …Living with this kind of constant judgment can damage not only the child's confidence but also the relationship. The solution to the problem of praise is encouragement. Encouragement can be given at any time, to anyone, in any situation. It is a comment, an acknowledgment, a statement that focuses on effort, improvement or choice. Hearing "You are so smart!" can leave a child at a loss when they don't do well in a test. Using "That took a lot of work to come home with an A in your test …" gives a child the chance to be something else.(1)What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?________A Many parents can't get on well with their children.B The author never shows any approval to his children.C It's hard for many parents to believe praise is harmful.D The author spent 25 years changing people's opinion on praise.(2)According to the passage, it seems that parents' praise________.A can lead to children's being smart.B might have just the opposite effect.C is a good tool to educate their children.D helps them get along well with their children.(3)Which of the following is a good example of encouragement?________A You are very good at math.B You are the best artist I have ever seen.C You have a problem and you have to fix it.D You didn't think you could finish in time, but you did.3. The number of giraffes is becoming smaller across Africa, according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. The total population has dropped by 40 percent in the last 15years. Surprisingly, even scientists haven't given much attention to giraffes. We are learning more about their ecology, but what we know is still way behind what we know about other species. "It's a silent extinction, " said Dr. Julian Hennessy, a wildlife scientist. "The main reason for the smaller number of giraffes is their loss of living places, " said Hennessy, "as an increasing part of land is used for farming. But hunting also has a big influence." You might wonder why hunters would focus on giraffes. First of all, once a giraffe is brought down, there is lots of meat with a small amount of effort. Besides, thereis another thing encouraging the hunting. In Tanzania, Hennessy says, the latest word on the street is that eating giraffe meat could cure AIDS. Fresh giraffe heads and bones can be sold at prices of up to﹩140 per piece.Another widespread misconception about giraffes is that they are everywhere. Look at kids' books which are full of giraffes. They are always in zoo collections. They can be seen easily, so you don't think we have to worry about them. But the truth is that they are in danger of extinction. There is a lack of right and true data.Hennessy and other researchers are now pulling together the data needed to improve the situation of the entire giraffe species and all nine subspecies (亚种). The information will be used to change the giraffe's listing on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, which now lists the species as of "least concern" but two subspecies as "endangered". "It's a lot of work to gather the necessary information, " Hennessy says. "And several other giraffe subspecies will be recommended for endangered listings next year or the year after." He hopes that the world will finally start to take notice of how endangered these beloved animals have become.(1)By saying "It's a silent extinction", Hennessy tells us that________.A giraffes are unpopular in Africa.B the giraffe is always silent in daily life.C the ecology of Africa needs more attention.D the extinction occurs without enough attention.(2)What has caused the high price of giraffe meat in Tanzania?________A The country's custom.B The illegal international trade.C The cost of hunting a giraffe.D The idea that it's a cure for AIDS.(3)The misconception in Para.3 can be corrected by________.A preventing illegal hunting in Africa.B rewriting kids' books aboutgiraffes. C providing reliable data about giraffes. D spreading scientific knowledge of AIDS.(4)The final purpose of Hennessy's great effort is to________.A collect more information about giraffes.B raise public awareness of protecting giraffes.C prove giraffes will disappear in the next few years.D work with the International Union for Conservation of Nature.第二节(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,选项中有两项为多余选项.4. How old is"old"?(1)_______.Two hundred years ago,you were old at 35.That was the average life then.At the turn of this century,as medical knowledge advanced,the average life span(长度) increased to 45.In 1950,70﹣year﹣olds were really old.Today,a healthy 70﹣year﹣old is looking forward to many more active years.So,how old is old?The answer is one you've heard many times,from all sorts of people."You are as old (or young) as you feel!"The calendar(日历) simply tells you how many years you have lived.(2)_______.Once an unknown author wrote,"(3)_______.Nobody grows old by living a number of years; people grow old by giving up their goals."(4)_______.Alice Brophy,when she was with the New York City commission for the Aging,said,"It upsets me when people say,‘Gee,you look young for your age!' What does that mean?Is there some model that you're supposed to look a certain way at 65 and 75 and 85?You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80."There are many wrong ideas about aging.(5)_______.Here are some of the more common ones.For example,most older people are in poor health,or older people are unable to change.A.It's extremely terrible to be grown old.B.Youth is not a time of life but it is a state of mind.C.These ideas stereotype(固化) people on the basis of age.D.Old is a point of view.E.Older people are stubborn,unable to change.F.The answer has changed over the years.G.Your body tells you how well you've lived.第三部分:语言运用(共两节)第一节:完形填空(共20个小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.5.

]B【导学号:38144041】(2017·浙江嘉兴一中模拟)I was driving past our town park the Saturday before Easter last year and noticeda large group of adults putting thousands of plastic eggs around the park in preparation for an Easter egg hunt.The eggs were in plain sight,consistent with the current thinking that no child should be expected to work up a sweat.The children were lined up behind a rope,the smallest in front,to get first crack at the eggs,applying a standard of fairness that exists nowhere in the world that I know of.When I was a kid,the town kept its nose out of the Easter egg business.The day before Easter,my mother went to Johnston' s IGA (a grocery store) and bought three dozen eggs,vinegar,and food coloring.While she was boiling the eggs,we poured hot water,vinegar,and food coloring in coffee cups,and spread the Saturday morning Indianapolis Star on the kitchen table.Then,we dipped the eggs in the cups.My oldest brother,Glenn,hid the eggs in roof gutters (水槽) 30 feet above the ground,buried them in the center of thorn bushes,beneath foundation stones and in snake holes,any place that could result in our death or disfigurement while hunting for them.It took us weeks to find them,and some we never did discover would work their way to the Earth' s surface the next winter.Usually,one of us found way more eggs than the other four of us —usually Glenn,since he had hidden them in the first plaining was useless,since our parents wouldn't have done anything about it except to tell us to stop complaining.It would never have occurred to them to place the eggs in plain sight,or to take us by the hand and guide us from egg to egg,or to urge the bigger children to leave some eggs for the smaller children.Will the kids in our town have such fun if we keep coddling (娇养) them?【语篇解读】本文是夹叙夹议文。
