2019年高考英语冲刺模拟试卷（二）第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 AKids imaginations are in overdrive when it comes to composing Christmas lists - as they ask for a live walrus（海象）, the power of invisibility（隐身） and Taylor Swift. Christmas is less than two months away, and little ones are already planning their letters to Santa. But one survey has revealed the weirdest items to turn up on Christmas lists, and they include mythical monsters and mega-selling pop stars.Conducted by GAME, the study also reveals a significant break from festive tradition when it comes to writing wish lists. One in three, 29%, children now use technology such as iPads or mobile phones instead of the traditional pen and paper, while a further one in five (19%) will rely on parents to take note of all the things they point at during TV adverts and during trips to the shops. With more than three million lists likely to be drafted, parents are prepared for a flurry of requests including many that even Santa would struggle to achieve.As part of the study, parents were asked to reveal some of the weird and wonderful items that made it onto their childs Christmas lists.Fred Prego, marketing director at GAME, says: Choosing what to get your kids at Christmas can be a bit of a minefield(雷区).” As the research shows, most kids will be making note of the things that they want this half term and a lot of lists are going to be written.21. The underlined word “overdrive” in paragraph one means _.A. running with a high speed B. slowing down sometimes C. driving forth and backwardsD. getting stuck somewhere 【答案】：A【解析】：根据背景可知，孩子们在选择圣诞礼物时，要求颇多，在脑风暴什么礼物时，想象力也十分充沛。overdrive v.& n.大脑“高速运转”。22. Which of the following is unlikely to be a gift taken into the list of a child? A. live walrus B. Taylor Swift C. pens and erasers D. iPads and iPhones【答案】：C【解析】：本题【答案】主要在文章第二段。根据原文可知，现在孩子们对礼物要求越来越高，多为高科技产品或难以实现的东西。当然就不可能是传统的笔和橡皮了。23. What might be the main idea of the passage?A. Kids are losing their imagination when it comes to Christmas.B. Choosing a Christmas gift for you child good be challenging.C. Are you suffering from choosing a best gift?D. Advantages of having a second child. 【答案】：B【解析】：本文考查对文章大意的把握。孩子的对圣诞礼物的要求不断提高，要想挑到让他们满意的礼物当然也就很有“挑战性”了。challenging adj.有挑战性的 BCertain personality traits（特质） are often attributed to oldest, middle and youngest children. But a new study found that birth order itself had no effect on character, though it may slightly affect intelligence.Researchers analyzed three large ongoing collections of data including more than 20,000 people: a British study that follows the lives of people who were born in one particular week in 1958, a German study of private households started in 1984 and a continuing study of Americans born between 1980 and 1984.They searched for differences in extroversion（外向）, emotional stability, agreeableness（随和性）, conscientiousness（责任心）, self-reported intellect, IQ, imagination and openness to experience. They analyzed families with sisters and brothers, large and small age gaps and different numbers of siblings. But no matter how they spliced the data, they could find no association of birth order with any personality characteristic.The study, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, did find evidence that older children have a slight advantage in IQ scores, but the difference was apparent only in a large sample, with little significance for any individual. The lead author, Julia M. Rohrer, a graduate student at the University of Leipzig, said that birth order can have an effect if your older brother bullied you, for example.” But these effects are highly idiosyncratic（个例）,” she said. “There is no such thing as a typical older, middle or younger sibling. Its important to stop believing that you are the way you are because of birth order.”24. According to the first paragraph, _.A. We should attribute personality traits to oldest childrenB. There isnt much relation between birth order and character C. Birth order can strongly affect your intelligence level.D. Birth order makes no difference to intelligence 【答案】：B【解析】：本题为细节题。根据原文“But a new study found that birth order itself had no effect on character, though it may slightly affect intelligence.可知，出生顺序和性格没有什么关系。25. Which of the following isnt analyzed by the researchers?A. emotional stability B. self-reported intellectC. openness to experienceD. ability in public speech 【答案】：D【解析】：本题为细节题“They searched for differences in extroversion（外向）, emotional stability, agreeableness（随和性）, conscientiousness（责任心）, self-reported intellect, IQ, imagination and openness to experience.”可知。26. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. You cant blame your birth order for what you are. B. Older children have a much high level of IQ score.C. Older children have a high level of emotional stability.D. Older children are much opener to their experience. 【答案】：A【解析】：本题为细节推理题“There is no such thing as a typical older, middle or younger sibling. Its important to stop believing that you are the way you are because of birth order.”.”可知。不能把你的不满归咎在出生顺序上。27. What could be the best title of this passage?A. Are you being bullied by your elder brother? B. Stop blaming your birth order. C. Get rid of your bad personality traits. D. How to improve your emotional stability ?【答案】：B 【解析】：本题考查对整篇文章的把握。作者用了大量事实来证明出生顺序对你的性格等很多方面没有什么影响，你也不用责备。 CIf you really want to get to know someone, travel with them. Having said that, Ive heard horror stories, and with a couple plans in the works for future trips with friends. I figured a call in to some people who have successfully traveled with friends for advice on how to keep sane when the trip involves lots of time to kill with my best friends.When youre traveling with friends, the topic of money will inevitably come up. Its a good idea to be upfront about expenses before even booking the tickets. When traveling in a group, a lot of time can be wasted trying to figure out what to do once you get there if this hasnt been discussed ahead of time. If youll be traveling in a group with multiple friends, it can be hard to keep everyone motivated, which is why nominating one person to be the key decision maker of the group for the trip is necessary. Once youve nominated a leader, Annie Pryatel of Overpacked Suitcase says using a travel folder to gather all tickets, maps and other important documents can help streamline the process of group travel, as well.Aljolynn Sperber, who recently spent five days traveling around London with her best friend and her best friends family, suggests designating free time for everyone every day. If you do decide to split up, Pryatel suggests using a communication app, like WeChat, to stay in touch. “It allows you to send your location and communicate effectively if you split up while exploring,” she said.28. According to the passage, the best way to know someone is _.A. hearing horror stories about them B. keeping sane in a trip with them C. killing time together with them D. traveling together with them 【答案】：D【解析】：本题为细节题。根据原文“If you really want to get to know someone, travel with them”可知，了解一个人的最好办法就是和他们一起旅行。29. The underlined word “upfront” in the second paragraph means _.A. Trying to avoid talking the expenses B. Telling them directly about the expensesC. benefiting a lot from the expenses D. booking the tickets all on your own【答案】：B【解析】：本题为推理题，根据常理，集体旅游，解决费用的最好办法就是坦诚告知，谁也不吃亏。30. Which of the following is not mentioned as a traveling tip?A. Be upfront about traveling expenses with your friends.B. Discussing ahead of time about what to do.C. Trying to motivate everyone in the group.D. Nominating a key decision maker of the group【答案】：C【解析】：本题为细节推理题，根据原文“it can be hard to keep everyone motivated, which is why nominating one person to be the key decision maker of the group for the trip is necessary”可知。要想激励每个成员是很难的，所以有必要选一个决策者。31. An effective way of avoid splitting up with the group is _.A. nominating a group leader B. discussing what to do ahead of time C. using a communication app D. spending five days traveling around London【答案】：C【解析】：本题为细节题。根据原文“If you do decide to split up, Pryatel suggests using a communication app, like Wechat, to stay in touch.” 可知，防止和小组走散的最好办法是使用通讯软件。DResearch has found that adults today have fewer friends than they did in the 1980s, and that more people say they have no one to discuss important stuff with. A new, small study suggests that singing is an effective way to make new friends because it helps us bond quickly with others. For the study, led by Eiluned Pearce, Ph.D., at Oxford University, researchers looked at participants, ages 18 to 83, in adult education classes organized by the Workers Education Association in the UK. Eighty-four participants were enrolled in one of four singing classes; 51 participants were enrolled in one of two creative crafts classes or a creative writing class. Over a period of seven months, the classes met weekly. During the first, third, and final months, researchers asked participants to indicate how close they felt to their classmates. Results showed something surprising. Although participants in all the classes felt closer to their classmates by the studys end, participants in the singing classes developed that closeness much more quickly. Really close relationships still depend on interactions between individuals or much smaller groups, Pearce said , but this study shows singing can kick start the bonding process. 32. From the first paragraph, we know that_.A. Adults today have more topic to talk about B. There is no need to discuss your important stuff C. Adults in the past have fewer friends D. Adults today have fewer friends to talk with【答案】：D【解析】：本题为细节题。根据原文“Research has found that adults today have fewer friends than they did in the 1980s”可知，现在的成年人感觉朋友更少。33. Which one is true about the research? A. There four kinds of classes to enroll participants. B. The research lasted seven months in total.C. The participants of the classes met monthly. D. The participants felt less closer to each other.【答案】：B【解析】：本题为细节题“Over a period of seven months, the classes met weekly.”可知。研究一共持续了七个月。 34. According to the passage, really close relationships depend on _.A. singing abilities B. researching abilities C. individual interactions D. classmate numbers【答案】：C【解析】：本题为细节推理题“Interestingly enough, having a son doesnt have the same results mentioned above”可知作者认为这种现象十分有趣。35. The passage is mainly about _.A. finding the fact who has fewer friends B. how to make more friends easily C. singing is an effective way of making friends D. how to interact between individuals【答案】：C【解析】：本题为细节推理题，根据原文“A new, small study suggests that singing is an effective way to make new friends”，可知本文都是围绕“唱歌是交新朋友的有效方法”来展开的。第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，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。_36_, it is much more common for people to buy goods through different kinds of media than before.
