There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing(分类) take place. In high school, friendship coexists with competition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstances, competition is too much of a burden for friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective.Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a students fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve similar recognition.Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life.It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to schoolwork.Healthy, friendly competition can have only benefits, but when it becomes too fierce, jealousy(妒忌)can tear friendship apart.Yet, despite all this, without competition, we would be lost.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了友谊和竞争之间的关系，健康的竞争能够增进友谊，而恶性的竞争则会破坏友谊。4What does the ecological definition mainly explain?AHow friends compete with each other.BHow to win the competition.CWhat the result of competition is.DWhat competition exactly is.D解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，该句的主干是Perhaps the ecological definition better explains it，其中 “it” 指代的是前一句中的“competition”。两个破折号之间的内容解释的是“the ecological definition”。句意：两个或更多的生物体同时对有限的生态环境资源有需求，如营养物质、生存空间、光这一生态学定义更好地解释了竞争(的含义)。故选D项。5According to the author，what causes the high school students to compete?AThe number of them is too large.BFriendship is a burden for them.CThey know the laws of nature well.DThey are divided into different groups.A解析：细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，高中生活与自然界一样有一系列的规则，这与达尔文关于进化、人口过多和竞争的理论相似。也正是因为学生人数众多，为了区分，所以对学生进行了排名和分类。再加上考大学这一高中生活的最终目标的压力，高中生之间的竞争就不可避免地产生了。故选A项。6Which best describes the relationship of friendship and competition?AFriendship is always based on competition.BThe degree of competition is vital to friendship.CCompetition is terribly harmful to friendship.DCompetition is a result of lost friendship.B解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Healthy, friendly competition can have only benefits, but when it becomes too fierce, jealousy(妒忌) can tear friendship apart.”可知，健康的、友好的竞争对友谊有好处，而过于激烈的、存在妒忌的竞争则会使友谊破裂。因此竞争的度对友谊是至关重要的。故选B项。7What does the author think of “competition” ?AThe results of competition are out of control.BCompetition becomes fiercer in high school.CCompetition is certain to happen in high school.DFriendship is not as important as competition in high schools.C解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Nevertheless，by necessity，competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life.”可知，作者认为竞争是必然存在于高中生活的各个方面中的。故选C项。C(2019吉林长春高三质检)Its hard to talk to Dad sometimes. His silence about his feelings and thoughts made him mysterious and hard to see through. You could never break his hard shell and get to know him. And he seemed to want to stay that way too.But a year ago when my relationship with my wife and career took a hit, I needed my dad to pull_back_the_curtain so I could see him as real and accessible. I was facing serious problems, and I wanted to know whether he had faced them before and how he had found his way, because I felt like I had lost mine. In desperation, it occurred to me that sending an email might be the key, so I wrote him one, telling him about my regrets and fears, and I asked him to answer, if he felt like it.Two weeks later, it showed up in my inbox: a muchthought, threepage letter. Dad, a 68yearold retired technologist and grandfather of four, had carefully considered my message, and crafted a response. He mentioned his lost love, the foolish mistake he made in career and the stupid pride he had between him and his parents. He comforted me that “life will still find its right track despite many of its twists and turns”I closed the email and started to cry, because I wished I had opened it up earlier but was grateful it wasnt too late. I cried because at 33, in the midst of my own struggles, his letter instantly put me at ease. And I cried because in the end，it was so simple：I just had to hit “Send”Weve since had many email exchanges. This increasing communication opened a door into his world. My problems havent been magically solved, but getting to know my dad better has made the tough stuff more manageable and life sweeter. Its hard to talk to dads sometimes, but Im glad I found a way to talk to mine.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。与一个沉默寡言的父亲交谈有时很难，作者却找到了一个很好的与父亲交流的方式，那就是发电子邮件。8The authors dad can be best described as _Aquiet and caringBoptimistic and carelessCselfish and lonelyDindifferent and seriousA解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“His silence about his feelings and thoughts”可知，父亲是沉默寡言的；根据第三段可知，其实父亲很关心作者。A项意为“安静和体贴的”；B项意为“乐观和粗心的”；C项意为“自私和孤独的”；D项意为“冷漠和严肃的”。故选A。9The underlined part in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by “_”Adraw the curtainBbecome more optimisticCshow his true selfDclear the misunderstandingC解析：词义猜测题。根据下文的“so I could see him as real and accessible”可知，作者需要父亲展现真实的自己。故选C。10What can be a suitable title for the text?ACommunication Is the Best PolicyBEmails from My DadCA Man of Few WordsDMy Mysterious DadB解析：标题归纳题。作者与父亲之间真正的内心情感交流是由父亲回复的邮件开始的，也是这封邮件让作者找到了与父亲交流的途径。B项紧扣主题。故选B。11Which of the following is NOT true?AMy dads email was quickly written.BI was moved when reading the email.CThe email contained much information.DI wished I could have consulted my dad earlier.A解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Two weeks later，it showed up in my inbox：a muchthought，threepage letter.”可知，父亲的邮件并不是很快写完的。故选A。D(2019郑州第二次质量预测)Though not as much as in the past, grandparents are the teachers of the Navojo(纳瓦霍人) youth. They make young people aware of life at an early age. The parents allow them the privilege of teaching the children, and the grandparents take great pride in raising them.Young children often stay with their grandparents for years at a time, developing a close and trusting relationship. The grandparents teach them Navajo legends and the principle of life, emphasizing both new culture trends and the preservation of traditions.The grandparents are also the leading figures in teaching the youth the arts of weaving, caring for the livestock, using herbal medicine, and other arts and crafts.The children are taught to respect their elders, care for them, help them and learn from them. Young people are urged to listen with care to the words of their elders and keep as much wisdom as possible. Grandparents often go to social gatherings and traditional events, and young people have opportunities to learn more about their culture and traditions. I lived with my grandmother for thirteen years, and she raised me in the old ways of our people. Although I was going to school, she taught me as much as she could about our traditions. If I had a chance, I would listen again to her wise teachings, expressed with kindness in a soft voice that touched my heart.We used to plant corn and pumpkin every summer. They never grew big enough to feed us, but we planted them anyway. I asked my grandmother why. She said, “Grandson, our plants will be far more beautiful than the flowers outside the fence.” I didnt understand until one day I saw their beauty as I was coming over the hill with her. She said, “Anything that is a part of you is always far more beautiful than the things which you pass by.” We had some beautiful years together. Im glad she is a part of me and Im a part of her.Children used to be well disciplined, possessing more respect for culture, traditions and beliefs than they do now. The world of the Navajo has been influenced by the western world, and the grandparents have less control and influence than they used to. But the young people who have been touched by their teachings have glimpsed a way of life beyond what most people know today.【解题导语】文章是一篇说明文。作者介绍了纳瓦霍人的一种文化： 由祖父母来教育孙子辈， 让他们学到生活中的道理。12What can be inferred from the first paragraph?AGrandparents are the source of traditional culture.BParents hate to take the trouble to raise their children.CEarly schooling isnt every popular with the young Navojo.DChildren learn about the meaning of life from their grandparents.D解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“They make young people aware of life at an early age.”可知， 祖父母们使年轻人在很小的时候就认识生活，所以答案是D。13The underlined word “figures” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”Apersons BpioneersCexamples DrepresentativesA解析：词义猜测题。根据下文的“in teaching.arts and crafts”可知， 在教育年轻人的编织技艺、 照顾牲畜、 使用草药以及其他手工艺方面， 祖父母们还是 “引导人”。14Why did the authors grandmother plant corn and pumpkin?AShe had to feed her family members.BShe tried to make full use of her garden.CShe wanted her grandson to learn a life lesson.DShe expected her grandson to learn about farming.C解析：推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词 “plant corn and pumpkin” 定位到第六段， 根据第六段内容可知， 祖母种植玉米和南瓜是为了让作者明白一个生活的道理： 你自己的一部分总是远比你路过的东西要美得多，所以答案是C。15What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?ATo honor his beloved grandmother.BTo stress the greatness of the Navajo.CTo share with readers a kind of Navajo culture.DTo show the influence of Navajo traditions.C解析：写作意图题。文章主要介绍了纳瓦霍人的一种文化： 由祖父母们教育孙子辈， 让他们认识生活， 学到其中的道理， 所以答案是C “与读者分享一种纳瓦霍人的文化”。 七选五(2019青岛自主练习)Develop “Sales” SkillsYou may not take a job as a salesperson after graduation.1._.
