第二部分阅读理解(共20题,每题2分,满分40分)

第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

A

My 17-year-old daughter went off to college and having her away from home brought back memories of watching Peter Pan when she was little. In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night light, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights, protect my sleeping childre n.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.

It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting well after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, it’s another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone, and I find night-times the hardest. I miss her most at night.

In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.

For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college sai d the separation didn’t get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you,” said one of them.

I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile, as I keep my cell phone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think at messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.

21. The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because ________.

A. she watched the scene with her daughter

B. the scene was very exciting and interesting

C. the scene taught her and her daughter a good lesson

A. didn’t ge t used to the change for a long time

B. often cried as she missed her daughter so much

C. realized she hadn’t done enough for her daughter

D. failed to have a good sleep every night

23. What is the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in me aning to?

A. Happiness.

B. Anger.

C. Sadness.

D. Excitement.

24. According to the last paragraph, why did the writer keep her cell phone close to her in bed?

A. To call her daughter any time.

B. To wait for her daughter’s calls.

C. To say good night to her daughter.

D. To wait for her daughter’s messages.

Television has turned 88 years old on September 7, 2015, and it has never looked better. In its youth, television was a piece of furniture with a tiny, round screen showing unclear pictures of low-budget programs. In spite of its shortcomings, it became popular. Between 1950 and 1963, the number of American families with a television jumped from 9% to 92% of the population.

As the audience got larger, the technology got better. Television sets became more reliable through the 1960s. The reception (接收效果) improved. The picture improved. The major networks started broadcasting programs in color.

Even greater improvements were coming according to Sanford Brown, who wrote an article for the Post in 1967. Surprisingly, just about every prediction he made in the article became a

reality. For example: All sets in the not-distant future will be color instruments. He also predicted that TV sets would become smaller, simpler, more reliable and less expensive and may forever put the TV repairman out of work. Smaller sets do not, of course, mean smaller screens. TV engineers expect screens to get much bigger. However, today’s 3-D TV is even farther away, if it’s coming at all. There is some doub t whether the public would be eager to pay for it, in view of people’s cold reception given to 3-D movies.

But the technology with the greatest potential, according to Brown, was cable television (有线电视), which was still in its early stages then. As he predicted, the future of cable television was highly interactive (互动的). It wasn’t cable television that gave Americans their electronic connection to the world, however. It was the Internet. He even foresaw the future office: using picture phones, big-screen televisions for conferences, and computers providing information at the touch of a button.

Brown ever said, “The future of television is no longer a question of what we can invent. It’s

a question of what we want.”

25. What can we infer about television sets in the 1960s?

A. They were very popular with Americans.

B. The reception showed no improvement.

C. They showed black-and-white pictures.

D. They were out of order now and then.

26. Which of the followings did Sanford Brown fail to predict?

A. Televisio n’s good quality.

B. The invention of 3-D TV.

C. The future office’s model.

D. The potential of cable TV.

27. What is the text mainly about?

A. The shortcomings of television.

B. The bright future of television.

C. The development of television.

D. The invention of television.

An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sales of bottled water from Japan. The water, it angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000 “food miles” before it reached Western customers. Transporting water halfway across the w orld is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK. It is also worrying that we were wasting our fuel by buying prawns from Indonesia (7,000 food miles ) and carrots from South Africa (5,900 food miles).

Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage due to industry. Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy efficient. It should be noticed that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck to a farmers’ market doesn’t necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar product transported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides, the idea of “food miles” ignores the amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana. The difference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouse and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.

Wh at is the idea of “food miles” does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World countries from First World food markets. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment.

32. The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that ________.

A. UK wastes a lot of money importing food products

B. some imported goods causes environmental damage

C. growing certain vegetables causes environmental damage

D. people wasted energy buying food from other countries

33. The phrase “food miles” in the passage refers to the distance ________.

A. that a food product travels to a market

B. that a food product travels from one market to another

C. between UK and other food producing countries

D. between a Third World country and a First World food market

34. By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the author tries to explain that ________.

A. British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian ones

B. Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than tomatoes ones

C. cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuel

D. protecting the environment may cost a lot of money

35. From the passage we know that the author is most probably ________.

A. a supporter of free global trade

B. a member of a Food Commission

C. a supporter of First World food markets

D. a member of an energy development group

What do the world’s most successful people all have in common?

By examining the work habits of over 150 greatest writers and artists and scientists, the researchers including Standford Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer found that high achievers like Robert Moses turn out to be all alike:

Busy! Busy!

36 In a study of general managers in industry, John Kotter reported that many of them worked 60 to 65 hours per week—which translates into at least six 10-hour days. The ability and willingness to work difficult and tiring hours has characterized many powerful figures. Energy and

strength provide many advantages to those seeking to build power.

Just Say No!

The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say “no” to almost everything. And that’s what gives them the time to accomplish so much.

37 And focus means saying “no” to a lot of distractions (分神).

Know What You Are!

Ignore your weakness and keep improving your strengths. Don’t waste time exploring skill areas where you have little competence. Instead, focus on—and build on—your strengths. 38 Create Good Luck!

Luck is not magical—there is a science to it. Richard Wiseman studied lucky people for his book Luck Factor, and broke down what they do right. 39 By being more outgoing, open to new ideas, following the feeling that something is true, being optimistic, lucky people create possibilities.

Does applying these principles to your life actually work? Wiseman created a “luck school”to test the ideas—and it was a success. In total, 80 percent of people who attended Luck School said that their luck had increased. 40

A. Achievement requires focus.

B. Busy people are more likely to be lucky.

C. Spend enough time to improve your weakness.

D. They never stop working and they never lose a minute.

E. This means knowing who you are, what you are and what you are good at.

F. On average, these people reported that their luck had increased by more than 40 percent.

G. Certain personality types are luckier because they behave in a way that offers the chance for good opportunities.

A couple of weeks ago, I made a trip to Toronto with my granddaughter who just turned three years old. The two of us were on our way to 41 her parents, and my wife—her 42 who had been gone for over a week. We were all anxious to 43 again and as I pulled out of Mamere and Papere’s driveway in Chelm sford, Hailee and I were both 44 about the trip and couldn’t wait to arrive at our45 .

When we completed the “SEVEN”-hour trip to Toronto later that day, the reunion was absolutely 46 and I can sincerely say I enjoyed every single minute of that 47 journey.

Hailee is at that “I want to 48 it myself” stage of her life. And if you can just get over the “hurry-up syndrome” we acquire as 49 , it is wonderful to witness. Who knew that putting a straw into the 50 in a juice box for the very first time could be such an earth-shattering (惊天动地的) event? Or being 51 enough to actually open the fridge door for the first time? Or putting on your own 52 on the right feet would be so 53 ?

I’ll never forget the look on her face the day she was able to 54 into my truck by herself. She finally 55 on my seat, holding onto the steering wheel (方向盘) and declared 56 , “I did it!” And when she could actually put her own seat belt on—what a(n) 57 !

Have you ever watched a three-year-old 58 to sip a McDonald’s milkshake through a straw? It is hard enough for an adult, too. And 59 every time the icy solution (溶液) touched her lips, you could see the 60 in her eyes. I learned that you can’t hurry a child through a milkshake.

41. A. follow B. help C. bless D. visit

42. A. mother B. father C. grandma D. aunt

43. A. get together B. turn up C. pay off D. settle down

brakes n.刹车got hold of 抓住

写作

第一节短文改错

1. in删掉参军用join the army,join sth成为其中一员;join in 表示参加活动。

2. besides→except 因except后的宾语是被排除在外的,此处表示“除了射击,所有的事情他都做得好”。besides表示“除……之外(还有)”。

3. p racticed→practicing 根据句意新士兵正在练习射击,be doing 正在做某事。

4. hit后加it hit是及物动词,意思是枪击,其宾语应是前面提到的target,故加上it。

5. hopeful→hopeless 根据句意射不中应是没有希望,故改成hopeless。

6. late→later 表示几秒钟后用a few seconds later。

7. soldiers 其他的士兵应用复数,故用soldiers。

8. really 在这里应是副词修饰动词,故用really。

9. and→but 由后一句可知此处表示“但是Peter还好好的”,上下文为转折关系,故用but。

10. missed 根据时态应用一般过去时,故改成missed

[助读强化]

shot at 瞄准target n.靶子

bullet n.子弹Heavens n.上帝

第二节书面表达

Dear Editor,

I’m a senior high school student. It’s reported that in China many children in mountainous areas still can’t go to school because of poverty. Last week, our class held a discussion about how to help them to go to school and live a happy childhood.

Here are our suggestions. First, some old textbooks and clothes can be collected and sent to those children so that they can be reused by them. Second, it’s also very important to appeal to more people and soci al organizations to help and care for those poor children. As far as I’m concerned, we should save some of our pocket money and give it to those children in need. Above all, we should give them respect, never looking down upon them because they are poor.

W e’ll really appreciate it if you can, through the English Weekly, increase public awareness of the poor children’s living conditions and call on more people to help them.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua [亮点强化]

poverty n.贫穷appeal to 呼吁

care for 照顾as far as I am concerned 据我所知

in need 需要above all 最重要的是

look down upon 看不起appreciate v.感激,欣赏

awareness n.意识call on sb to. do sth 号召某人做某事

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) A Summer Activities Students 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. B Many 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. C Teens 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.
