2020年高考英语一轮复习 检测题18

检测题18. 阅读理解As children reach kindergarten and early grade-school age, they continue to become increasingly more aware of the wider world beyond home, school and their neighborhood. If you havent already done so, this can be an excellent time to teach your child about the environment, and how you can work together to go green as a family. If youve already introduced some eco-friendly habits in your home, here are some ways your growing child can contribute more to the greening of his world and beyond.My 7-year-old son discovered a magazine cover on the table that featured a cover line about polar bears being endangered because of global warming. I decided to be straight with himI said yes, there is a danger to polar bears and other wildlife because of pollution. But I told him that we can all do something to go green and help make a difference, and perhaps help the polar bears and all living things on our planet.My grandmothers were immigrants(移民)who lived through wars in South Korea. They used to constantly remind me to turn off the lights, and even not to use too much toilet paper. As it turns out, these were great lessons. Have your child get into the habit of turning off lights and electronic equipment when hes not using them. A nice bonus(意外收获): reducing electricity use can help cut down your bills. A grade-schooler is old enough to understand that water comes from lakes and pools. Explain that wasting it can affect everyone who depends on that water. Wasting water also means wasting energy. A tap that runs for five minutes is equal to letting a 60-watt bulb run for 14 hours, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.Make it easier for your grade-schooler to go green by choosing different baskets for glass, metal, paper, and plastic. Have your child draw pictures of recyclable types to mark each basket. Once a season or more, have your child help you look for used clothing, books, toys and other things around the house to give away to local shelters(避难所).【文章大意】本文作者以自己的亲身经历告诉其他母亲应该如何在生活中帮助孩子变得更有环保意识, 让他们从小就有保护环境的观念。1. The underlined word“contribute”in Paragraph 1 means.A. buyB. useC. giveD. find【解析】选C。词义猜测题。由于本句里的introduced说明如果你已经介绍给孩子一些环保习惯了, 而且在接下来的三个段落中作者本人又给出一些关于绿色生活的建议。所以这里的contribute的意思是“给出”。2. What makes polar bears in danger according to the passage?A. The global warming at present and in future.B. The pollution of the air in developed countries.C. The loss of the forest all over the world at present.D. The hunt for them by people from across the world.【解析】选A。细节理解题。第二段第一句里的being endangered because of global warming是本题的解题线索。需注意的是B选项, 虽然第二段说到了污染危及一些野生动物的生存, 但并不是针对空气污染而言, 所以不能选B。3. What does the author learn from her grandmothers?A. Make peace with any other country.B. Not moving to other foreign countries.C. Turn off the lights and the water to go green.D. Live a simple life without spending too much.【解析】选C。推理判断题。第三段作者提到了自己的祖母和外祖母经历过战争后尤其重视节省, 本段的第二句话是解题线索, 第三、四句是作者的体会和经验, 第五句开始给出了自己也身体力行的理由, 所以答案选C。但是注意D项虽然不错, 但是和第二句作者的祖母和外祖母的要求相比, 没有确切说明为了环保而做的具体措施, 所以不能选。4. What is the best title of the passage?A. Ways to Help Your Child Make Money.B. Ways to Help Your Child Go Green.C. Setting up a Recycling Centre for Your House.D. Setting up Eco-friendly Habits Is Necessary.【解析】选B。主旨大意题。首先要明确这篇文章的作者是一个母亲, 她在以自己的经历告诉别的母亲应该帮助自己的孩子更环保, 所以选项里的关键词是child和green。. 完形填空I take a deep breath, cross my fingers and step forward.

If the driver does notice, its possible that they may not have the10stopping distance to be able to stop11hitting the person.Also, stepping out onto a road at the wrong12causes vehicles to slow down, meaning the cars behind them have to slow down, creating a13effect possibly even a long tailback(车辆长队).14, it can be difficult to stick to the rules when there is15pedestrian-friendly crossings and it seems that drivers dont follow the rules, either. Even if the green man is showing, cars are still allowed to turn right at many lights, often turning into large crowds of people16crossing the road. Many times these cars dont slow down, meaning pedestrians have to quickly move out of the way. It also means that people17cross the road when they should be allowed tomaybe this is a motivating factor for so-called jaywalkers.Driving a car doesnt mean you have more rights. Its a privilege and with that privilege comes a lot of18. It doesnt seem completely19to punish pedestrians for taking matters into their own hands on a road system thats designed against them.

We can see a lot of people sleeping on the bus or train on their way home1work in the evening. A man will be reading the newspaper, and seconds later it appears as if he is trying to eat it. Or he will fall asleep on the shoulder of the stranger sitting next to him. Another place where unplanned short sleep goes on is in the lecture hall2a student will start snoring so loudly that the professor has to ask3student to shake the sleeper awake. A more4(embarrass)situation occurs when a student starts falling into sleep and5weight of the head pushes the arm off the desk, and the movement carries the rest of the body along. The student wakes up on the floor with no memory of getting there. The6(bad)time to fall asleep is when driving. Police reports are full of accidents that occur7people fall into sleep and go off the road. 8the drivers are lucky, they are not seriously hurt. One womans car, for example, went into the river.
