D 事实细节题。由题干中的“February”可将答案锁定在“February 6th”的话题“An Update on the Costwold Canals”中。显然答案为D。 23. A 事实细节题。根据题干中的关键词islands, the Thames可知答案在“March 6th”中。Miranda Vickers 在其报告“Eyots and Aits—Thames Islands”中对泰晤士河中的岛屿做了一个全景的回顾。因此答案为A。 B 【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。“我”生活在美国东北部的纽约，那儿的冬季实在让人难以忍受。一次去佛罗里达的Sarasota度周末的机会让“我”深切感受到了宜人的气候是多么令人惬意。尤其是那又大、又软又圆的西红柿。 24. B．推理判断题。由第一段最后一句“dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables”所提供的信息尤其是dulled一词的意义可以推测纽约寒冷的冬季是令人厌烦的。故答案为B。 25. D。事实细节题。根据首段末句可知，让作者最感惬意的事情是逛一逛早七点的农贸市场。因此D项为最佳答案。 26. B。推理判断题。根据第三段第二句可知，作者之所以不再购买冬季的西红柿是因为不论商店里的西红柿看起来多么诱人，买到家里就会变得又干又硬，索然无味。故选B项。 27. C。推理判断题。由最后一段所述可知，Brown’s Grove Farm是新开业的一家餐馆。Jack Dusty是供货方之一。再结合“I was planning to have dinner that very night.”一句可知作者打算去那儿用餐。因此答案为C。 C 【语篇导读】这篇短文主要介绍了现代著名艺术家Dali的作品风格及the world of Dali中的展品情况。28. B。推理判断题。短文首段介绍了艺术家Dali的作品。由“…with an exhibition bring together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more.”一句可知，Dali的作品众多，是一个多产画家。故答案为B。29. A。推理判断题。根据第一段“…the visitors will find the best pieces, most importantly the Persistence of Memory”可知，该作品在Dali的最佳作品中是最重要的，由此可以推断它是Dali的杰作之一。 30. D。事实细节题。根据第二段末句中的“…follo ws a path of time and subject.”可知，Dali的作品是按时间和主题进行布展的。答案选D。 31. A。词义猜测题。由最后一段可知，展出的作品主要来源于两个途径：一是与马德里的一家艺术馆密切合作；一是靠像Salvador Dali Museum这样的机构的捐赠。联系全文大意及前一分句不难推测其它机构捐赠的是艺术作品。因此答案为A。 D 【语篇导读】这是一篇议论文。作者从La Chope咖啡馆的经营特色谈起，介绍了巴黎的一些主题咖啡馆经营理念的变化及其大受欢迎的原因。 32. D。推理判断题。根据短文第一段第二句“”可知，顾客在这里可以学着与他们内心的真实情感取得联系。亦即将自己的真实情感表达出来。故答案为D。 33. A。推理判断题。由第二段“Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle…”一句可知，在过去的几年里，巴黎咖啡馆的生意因法国人生活方式的变化而受损。由此可以推断，人们不再那么频繁地光顾咖啡馆了。因此答案为A。

高考英语模拟试卷 题号I II III IV V总分 得分 一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分） A It's almost 2 a．m．at Lightning in a Bottle，a music festival in Bradley，Calif．The last song of the night is the "Clean Up Song" by Mr．Nigel&Friends．Abruptly，heads bow and backs bend as people pick up empty cups，dirty forks，and festival guides，and drop them into cans． "It works，" laughs Jesse Shannon，marketing director of Do LaB，the organization that hosts Lightning in a Bottle．"It reminds people in an interesting and cute way not to leave everything on the dance floor．" The "Clean Up Song" has been a tradition at Lightning in a Bottle since the beginning．It's just one of the innovative ways music festivals are trying to lessen their impact on the environment． Outdoor festivals have been called environmental disasters．A 2006 analysis conducted by Burning Man，the annual gathering in the northwestern Nevada desert，showed that the event produced 91 million pounds of carbon emissions（排放），or 1，400 pounds per person．These events literally produce tons of waste，anything from 60 tons at Lightning in a Bottle in 2015 to almost 550 tons at Bonnaroo in 2017． Burning Man has a strong "Leave No Trace" policy．Lightning in a Bottle hosts talks from climate activists（积极分子）．Outsides Lands Music and Arts Festival in San Francisco has worked with Clean Vibes to responsibly manage its waste．In 2016，it diverted（使转向）91 percent of all waste from landfill（垃圾填埋池）by encouraging recycling and reuse． Festivals hope they can affect people's attitudes and awareness instead of simply reducing their own environmental effects．"People at a festival are exploring an alternative way of living，and it's a great opportunity to reassess your relationship to waste．" Mr．Shannon says．"People have been gathering for as long as there have been people，" Shannon says．"So it's not something we are going to stop doing．It's more what we can do to reduce the impacts of these gatherings and at the same time have a positive effect．We are confident we are helping people's mind change．We still have a long way to go．" 1.What is unique about Lightning in a Bottle？______ A. It lasts all night． B. It is song-themed． C. It makes people moved and bow． D. It is likely to benefit nature． 2.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to？______ A. "Leave No Trace" policy． B. Lightning in a Bottle． C. Outsides Lands Music and Arts Festival． D. Clean Vibes． 3.What does Mr．Shannon's attitudes towards the festivals mentioned above？______ A. neutral B. indifferent C. bright D. effortless

2015年高考全国卷2英语试题及答案（word精校版） 含详细解析 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） A My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed. Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set. When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble. 21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set? A.He got an older model than he had expected. B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken. C.He could have bought it at a lower price. D.He failed to find any movie shows on it. 22. Which of the following an best replace the phrase “signed off” in paragraph 1? A.ended all their programs
