Without doubt, Pele is the greatest soccer player ever.Born in a small village in Brazil, Pelé grew up playing soccer like most other children of his age. Too poor to afford a soccer ball, Pele and his playmates often made one by tying together a bunch of rags. Their playing field was usually a sidewalk. Old tin cans marked where the goalposts should be. Pelé and the other boys from his neighborhood often dreamed of one clay becoming professional soccer players. At the age of eleven, Pelé was discovered by Waldemar de Brito, a former professional player. Waldemar de Brito was then the coach of the Bauru Soccer Club and he signed Pele to play for the junior Bauru team.In 1956, when Pele was fifteen, Waldemar de Brito took him to the city of Santos, Brazil, to try out for the Santos professional team. Pele immediately distinguished himself as one of the best players.In 1957, Pelé was selected to play on Brazil's national team. He scored the only goal for Brazil in the first game and another goal in the second game. Then in 1958, Pelé helped Brazil win ils first World Cup.Between 1958 and 1970, Pele played in four World Cups. He is the only person who won three World Cups. Pelé played his last game with the Brazilian national team in 1971, but he continued to play for the Sanlos team for three more years before calling it quits.Throughout his career, Pelé had an amazing ability to touch people. Once a war was suspended for two days because the Santos team had been invited to play there and people on both sides were so eager to see Pel é play.Pelé's name represents excellence in soccer. His 20-year career has yielded some of the most memorable moments in soccer histoiy. People today still refer to him as the great Pelé, the King of Soccer.1.What was Pelé's soccer playing environment like when he was young?A.Well-developed.B.Tough.C.Relaxing.D.Standard.2.What's the focus of Paragraphs 3 to 5?A.Pelé's influence.B.Pelé's achievements.C.Pelé's personal development.D.Pelé's international records.3.Why was the war in Nigeria suspended for two days?A.Nigerians were fed up with wars.B.Pelé refused to play soccer unless the war was stopped.C.Nigerians didn't want to injure Pelé.D.People wanted to see Pelé's game.4.What do we know about Pelé?A.Growing up in a soccer family influences him a lot.B.He is a selfless and generous player.C.He has a talent for soccer and practices a lot.D.He received professional training at age 15.3、 Most adults find it hard to recall events from their first few years of life and now scientists have found exactly when these childhood memories fade(消失).A new study has found that most three-year-olds can recall a lot of what happened to them over a year earlier, and these memories persist while they are five and six, but by the time they are over seven, these memories decline(衰退) rapidly.Most children by the age of eight or nine can only recall 35% of their experiences from under the age of three, according to the new findings.The scientists behind the research say this is because at around this age the way we form memories begins to change. They say that before the age of seven children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early events they can recall tend to be more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster rate of forgetting than adults. The findings also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of events but then forget them just a couple of years later.The youngsters first visited the laboratory at the age of three and discussed six unique events from their past, such as family outings, trips to the zoo, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second session between the ages of five and nine to discuss the same events. The researchers found that between the ages of five and seven, the amount of memories the children could recall remained between 63 -72 percent. However, the amount of information eight-to nine-year-old children could recall dropped to 35 and 36 percent.1.What does the new study tell us?A.Childhood memories decline with years.B.Three-year-old kids are the cleverest.C.Childhood memories can fade easily.D.Some adults cannot recall past events.2.What does the underlined word “persist” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Change.B.Remain.C.Appear.D.Return.3.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Adults cannot have clear memories of past events.B.Children can think like adults when they get older.C.Children under 7 years old have different ways of forming memories.D.Children often forget things because they have no idea of time or place.4.In the second session, nine-year-old children _________.A.refused to discuss the same eventsB.remembered all their family outingsC.could recall 72 percent of their past eventsD.only remembered a small part of their past events4、Cities Are Turning Snails YellowIn the early and mid-20th century, if you wander through woodlands or cities of Europe, you will likely find, with an observant eye, that grove snails come in a variety of colors.Over that time, European cities have seen high-rises, concrete, and asphalt (沥青). And the snails—still common, still everywhere—have been changing, too. In the Netherlands, the results of acitizen-science project suggest that light-colored snails are becoming more common in cities. Researchers blame the urban-heat-island effect. Yellow shells, they argue, reflect more sunlight, allowing snails to stay cool in the heat.If you are interested in finding this change yourself, there is an Android app called SnailSnap. It was developed by Niels Kerstes at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center with his co-workers in 2017. The problem with citizen science, however, is that it's hard to say how reliable the data are," Kerstes says. When a citizen scientist ' uses SnailSnap to take a photo of a snail, the app also records the location. Sometimes the GPS didn't work or people disagreed on the color, but it gave Kerstes more overall confidence in the data.The team eventually compared snails from four types of habitats: farmland, natural habitats like forests, urban "green" areas like parks, and urban "gray" areas that were primarily residential, commercial, or industrial. In both types of urban setlings, they found more yellow snails. Kerstes and his co-authors think this is because of the temperature. Cities are often hotter than their surrounding areas because they've full of materials like asphalt absorbing more radiation and are relatively short of trees. Since dark ones also absorb more radiation than their yellow counterparts, they may get too hot and have to spend more time trying to escape from the sun."Organisms are evolving all the time. People just don’t walk around with this kind of consciousness," says an ecologist. But if you stop to notice snails, you may be more familiar with the evolution that's happening on sidewalks, in alleyways, and all around.1.What is the result of the urban-heat-island effect in Paragraph 2?A.Light-colored shells absorb more sunlight.B.Dark-colored snails are on the increase.C.Rising temperature results in more light-colored snails.D.Urban changes lead to the change in size of snails.2.What’s the function of SnailSnap?A.To encourage citizens to take more photos of snails.B.To introduce citizens to snails of different colors.C.To collect more data on snails from "citizen scientists".D.To call on people to work together to protect snails.3.What does the underlined word “counterparts” refer to?A.Snails.B.Habitats.C.Trees.D.Cities.4.What can we infer from the passage?A.Urban parks are suitable for all the snails.B.Evolution can happen anywhere and anytime.C.Radiation is the main reason for the fading colors of snails.D.Kerstes is worried about the data collected by citizens.5、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。

湖南省2019届高三高考冲刺预测卷（六）英语试卷【含答案及解析】姓名___________ 班级____________ 分数__________一、阅读理解1. Every year, TIME selects the best inventions that are making the world better, smarter and — in some cases—a little more fun. Here’s which ones made this year’s unranked list.●MorpherPeople refuse to wear a helmet because they’re thick and bulky. Mo rpher, a bike helmet made from interweaved plastics that is just as strong as its traditional helmets, but flexible enough to fold almost totally flat, makingit easier to transport. Morpher has raised almost $300,000 on Indiegogo and may be available for sale in stores in future.● Hyper AdaptAlmost everyone who sees the movie Back to the Future wants a pair of self-lacing shoes. Now, thanks to Nike, the shoe dream is a reality. When wearers press a button near the tongue, the Hyper Adapt 1.0s automatically tighten and loosen around their foot. Simplified shoe fastening could give users an edge during sports competition, and it’s especially useful for people with impaired （受损的） motor function.●Hello SenseIt's hard to believe that an alarm clock could not only be beautiful but also improve your sleep. That it could monitor the temperature, humidity (湿度) , light and even air quality in your bedroom to help you engineer a perfect sleep environment. That it could monitor your sleep cycles and wake you when you’re least likely to feel groggy —all thanks to simple voice commands.●Eatwell Assistive TablewareIt is hard for Alzheimer’s patients to use silverware without spilling. Eatwell Assistive Tableware is a dining set designed to make mealtime easier for people with Alzheimer’s and other diseases that affect brain and bodyfunction. The tableware uses bright colors to help people distinguish their plates from their food and putting wide rubber bases on the cups to prevent spills.1. What is the advantage of Morpher over traditional helmets?A. It is portable.B. It is safer.C. It is stronger.D. It is folding and light.2. Who may like Hyper Adapt most?A. Athletes.B. Officer workers.C. Taxi drivers.D. Regular travelers.3. What does the underlined word “groggy” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Energetic.B. Dizzy.C. Tiring.D. Uncomfortable.4. What invention is unavailable on the market at present?A. Hyper Adapt.B. Morpher.C. Hello Sense .D. Eatwell Assistive Tableware.2. Today, widespread social pressure to immediately go to college together with increasingly high expectations in a fast -moving world often causes students to completely overlook the possibility of taking a gap year. Andafter going to school for 12 years, it doesn't feel natural to spend a year during something that isn’t academic.But despite common misconceptions, a gap year does not impede the success of academics—in fact, it probably promotes it.Studies show that students who take a gap year are generally better prepared for and perform better in college than those who do not. Gap year experiences can lessen the difficulty when it comes to adjusting to college and being thrown into a brand new environment, making it easier to focus on academics and activities.Nearly 80 percent of college students end up changing their majors at least once. Many students find themselves listing one major on their college applications, but switching to another after taking college classes. At Boston College, for example, you would have to complete an extra year were you to switch to the nursing school from another department. Taking a gap year to figure things out initially can help prevent stress and save money later on. Many people, however, argue that the gap year itself can take much money. That’s a math. There are formal gap year programs that are rather pricey, but there are also many opportunities to volunteer and receive free housing or even get paid for your gap year.Perhaps the most convincing reason for taking a gap year is that it offers aunique opportunity that will likely never reappear. After graduating from college, it's possible to take some time off. Students should think about the next step in their future liv es: Don’t rule out anything, including a gap year.1. What might be the author's purpose by writing the passage?A. To explain what the gap year really is.B. To prove the necessity of the gap year.C. To introduce the way to take the gap year.D. To describe the students taking their gap year.2. What stops students taking their gap year?A. The pricey gap year programs.B. Bad performance in high school.C. High expectations for college life.D. Worrying about falling behind in study.3. What can we know about students from the passage?A. Nearly 80 percent of college students change their majors only once.B. High school students have little experience to choose college majors.C. many new comers of college are suffering from acclimation blunders.D. All colleges allow their students to change their majors free of charge.4. What is the author’s attitude towards the gap year?A. Favorable.B. Critical.C. Concerned.D. Indifferent.3. Ben Underwood is blind. Both eyes were removed when he was just three years old, leaving him with no vision at all. So how on earth does he ride his bicycle, play football and basketball?Ben uses many common aids for the blind, like speaking software. He's also written a book and does his schoolwork on a hi-tech Braille writer. Butwhat’s unusual is what he doesn’t use. Ben has no guide dog and never uses a white cane. He doesn’t even use his hands. Instead, he sees with sound. Amazingly, Ben’s ears pick up the echoes( 回声） and he can precisely locate where things are. Ben is the only person in the world who sees using nothing but echolocation.Ben was born perfectly healthy, with dark eyes like his mum. But, when he was two she looked into his eyes and saw something was terribly wrong. This is a rare infant eye cancer that affects only one in every six million. In an attempt to save his sight, doctors immediately began intense chemo and radio therapy, but like a lead balloon. His eyes had been removed.Just one year after the operation to remove his eyes, in the car he asked hismum what the big building was that they were passing. Ben’s ears were picking up the sounds of the city traffic reflecting from the building’s surfaces.His mum let him play in the street because his sound pictures seemed to make him more aware of danger than his sighted friends.There’s nothing his friends can do that Ben Underwood won't attempt and conquer.

After years of sales growth, major publishers reported a fall in their e-book sales for the first time this year, introducing new doubts about the potential of e-books in the publishing industry. Yet despite the increasing realization that digital and print can easily coexist in the market, the question of whether the e-book will “kill” the print book continues to surface. It doesn’t matter if the intention is to predict or dismiss this possibility; the potential disappearance of the book does not stop to inspire our imagination.After television was invented, many claimed radio would die. But radio ended up surviving by finding new uses; people started listening in cars, duringtram rides and on factory floors. The myth of the disappearing book isn’t new, either. As early as 1894, there was guess that they’d be replaced by what we today call audiobooks. This happened again and again. Movies, radio,television, and smartphones—all conspired to destroy print books as a source of culture and entertainment. It is not by chance that the idea of the death of the book surfaces in moments of technological change.We create emotional bonds with media as they become an integral part of our life. The emergence of a new technology —like e-readers —doesn’t just in indicate economic and social change. It also causes us to adjust our relationship with something that has become an integral part of our day-to-day life.The ones who still worry for the disappearance of print books may rest assured: Books have endured many technical revolutions and are in the best position to survive this one. Yet the myth of the disappearing medium will continue to provide an appealing narrative about both the power of technology and our dislike to change. Easy to remember and to spread, the story of the death of media reflects our excitement for the future, as well as our fear of losing parts of our intimate world 一 and finally, of ourselves.1. What do people tend to believe according to the text?A. Print books will disappear in the end.B. It is unwise to invest in e-books.C. Digital and print will exist all the time.D. The death of books is just an imagination.2. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. The forms of books change with new technology.B. Books have a bright digital future actually.C. Culture will disappear with the end of books.D. The idea of book death follows technological changes.3. What does the myth of disappearing books reflect?A. Our doubt about the power of technology.B. Our fear of losing ourselves in society.C. Our preference for new technology.D. Our pleasure of experiencing technical revolutions.二、七选五5.
