2019高考英语模拟试卷:带解析2019届高考英语全真模拟密押卷1、The oddness (反常) of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples.First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny balled (芭蕾) dancer. “Im an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.”On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, its just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon dioxide you exhale (呼气) has a tendency to form an invisible (隐形的) cloud around you head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat, “Your inner ear thinks youre falling. Meanwhile your eyes are telling you youre standing straight. That can be annoyingthats why some people feel sick.” Within a couple daystruly terrible days for some astronauts, brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears.Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass. Thats why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.1.What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?A.Deciding on a proper sleep positionB.Choosing a comfortable sleeping bagC.Seeking a way to fall asleep quicklyD.Finding a right time to go to sleep.2.The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when _.A.they circle around on their bikesB.they use microcomputers without a stopC.they exercise in one place for a long timeD.they watch a movie while pedaling3.Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because _.A.their senses stop workingB.they have to stand up straightC.they float out of their seats unexpectedlyD.whether they are able to go back to the station4.One of the NASAs major concerns about astronauts is _.A. how much exercise they do on the stationB.how they can remain healthy for long in spaceC.whether they can recover after returning homeD.whether they are able to go back to the station2、 Planning a visit to the UK?Here we help with ways to cut your costs. AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events,concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room.A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival(19 Oct.)cost169.15 at B.A week later,the same room cost 118.15. If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoidor youre looking for a big event to pass your time-check out sites such as W,which allow you to search for events in the UK by city,date and category. STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train,you may want to find a good base close to the station,but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday. Dont be too choosy about the part of town you stay in.Booking two months in advance,the cheapest room at Travelodges Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was 95.95.A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was75.75.And at Farringdon,a double room cost just 62.95. LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London,Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune,especially at weekends and during big events.As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen.Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings.A great example is the historic ONeill Flat on Edinburghs Royal Mile,available for420 for five days in late September,with room for four adults. GET ON A BIKE Londons“Boris Bikes”have attracted the most attention,but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace,saving you on public transport or car parking costs. Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle(casual members pay around 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff(free for up to 30 minutes,or 5 per day).1.The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may_.A.help travelers pass timeB.attract lots of travelers to theUKC.allow travelers to make flexible plansD.cause travelers to pay more for accommodation2.“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably _.A.a hotel away from the train stationB.the tube line to Covent GardenC.all ideal holiday destinationD.the name of a travel agency3.Cardiffs program allows a free bike for a maximum period of _.A.half an hourB.one hourC.one hour and a halfD.two hours4.The main purpose of the passage is _.A.to tell visitors how to book in advanceB.to supply visitors with hotel informationC.to show visitors the importance of self-helpD.to offer visitors some money-saving tips3、Ease neck and shoulder pain at the office If you work in an office, keeping neck and shoulder pain away may only take two minutes a day. A new study presented at the World Congress of the American College of Sports Medicine in Denver found that office workers doing two minutes of exercise a day reported lower levels of neck and shoulder pain after 10 weeks. The study by Danish researchers involved 198 office workers who had frequent neck and shoulder pain but were otherwise healthy. The workers did either a 2-minute or a 12-minute resistance exercise using elastic tubing. The exercise was a lateral raise, in which the upper arm is raised until it is horizontal and the arms are 10 to 15 inches from the body, says Lars Andersen, the lead researcher. After 10 weeks, the workers who had performed two minutes of daily exercise reported on average a 1.4-point decrease in pain on a 10-point scale. Workers who did 12 minutes of daily exercise had an even lower level of pain, but the difference was not very significant. Though the study may give new encouragement to workers to add even small amounts of exercise into their daily routines, the connection between lower levels of pain and exercise is well-documented, says Lynn Miller, a professor of physical therapy at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Mich., who was not involved in the study. Even short periods of exercise can help loosen up tight muscles and bring the body back into proper level, Miller says. Office-induced pain also can be reduced by making sure your workspace is set up properly. “For office workers,usually posture is not good, Miller says. Arms are often forward for prolonged periods, and reading a computer screen tends to bring the head into a forward position.1.In which column of a newspaper could we find this passage?A.Entertainment.B.Sports.C.Business.D.Lifestyle.2.According to the passage, where did the researchers come from?A.Germany.B.America.C.Denmark.D.Britain.3.The third paragraph mainly tells us _.A.the reason why the study was carried outB.the people who carried out the researchC.how the study was carried out in detailD.how to exercise every day4.Which of the following words best describes Lynn Millers attitude towards the study result?A.Supportive.B.Negative.C.Shocked.D.Doubtful.4、 Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer with attractive defendants. But in the executive(主管的) circle,beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder,it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plain men, and effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the overnight success of the unattractive was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, hut an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the “manly” qualities required. This is true even in politics. kiWhen the only clue is how he or she looks,people treat men and women differently,says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates (候选人). She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and the other of women,in the order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, hut the women who had been ranked the most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.1.The word “liability” most probably means _.A.disadvantageB.advantageC.misfortuneD.trouble2.It can be inferred from the passage that peoples views on beauty are often _.A.practicalB.supportiveC.old-fashionedD.one-sided3.The author writes this passage to _.A.give advice to job-seekers who are attractiveB.discuss the disadvantages of being attractiveC.demand equal rights for womenD.state the importance of appearance5、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。 For many people, history classes are seen as no more than requirements for getting degrees in chemistry, biology, business, marketing, etc._Below are a few reasons why its vital that todays people continue to learn about the past.

Indeed, reading novels takes up some of the time that should spent on lessons, but itll make us know what hard life is.Besides, by reading novels we can gain what we cant learn from our textbook.Of course, reading novels has its shortcomings. Novels that have wrong ideas will make us to do something wrong. Maybe, in your eyes, the disadvantages of reading novels outweighs the advantages. And in my opinion, reading novels is just as another pair of eyes, which broadens my horizon.9、你校校报新开设了一个名为“Chinese Minorities”的栏目并征文。请根据内容提示,用英语写一篇短文,介绍中国少数民族之一的基诺族。1. 人口:约25 000人;2. 分布:云南省;3. 经济:以农业为主;4. 文化:(1) 拥有丰富多彩的民族文化,尤其以其民间音乐闻名;(2) 掌握了精湛的刺绣技术。5. 发展:
