第二部分阆读理解(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。

A

It’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world-but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.

Highly Sensitive

Highly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron.

For such people, individual or non-competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.

Type A Personality

Type A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this can

cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.

To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.

Type B Personality

This laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxious

Type B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.

Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.

21. Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?

A. They will feel like they are being evaluated.

B. They don't like socialising with other people.

C. They don't consider themselves to be athletic.

D. They fear they'll be let down by their teammates.

22. Type A personalities can be best described as

A. committed B flexible C independent D. sensitive

23. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To help people understand what personality type they are

B. To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habits

C. To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exercise

D. To describe different types of workouts that are available today

B

At first sight, Alma Deutscher, a twelve-year-old girl from England appears to be like any other typical pre-teen. She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modest youngster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music world

Alma’s operatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song. “In my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad --- but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.”

The opera was first performed in Vienna, Australia on December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and receives enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, once in Australia and the other in China.

While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young, Alma is not worried. She says, “Of course I have to work hard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on stage.

Alma’s musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an 18-month-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children’s rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

However, Alma’s abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media requested and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.

Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying, “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma.” Regardless of what she calls herself, the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!

24. What do we know about Alma Deutscher?

A. She comes from a famous musical family.

B. She has shown great musical talent from a young age.

C. She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.

D. She has adapted some famous works of classical music.

25. How did Alma get to be widely known?

A. Through an online video

B. By performing on television

C. By putting on an opera

D. Through her parents’ promotion

26. What is Alma’s attitude towards her success?

A. She is still unsatisfied with her performance.

B. She is uncomfortable with so much pressure.

C. She is modest about her musical achievements

D. She is proud to have become a professional musician.

27. What can we infer about Alma’s parents?

A. They are very well-educated people.

B. They are protective of their daughter.

C. They have pushed Alma to take up music.

D. They have made a good life plan for Alma.

C

The belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away. Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.

In the 1930s, the British economist(经济学家) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of

computers.

Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.

Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.

But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs. Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.

This stability should not come as a surprise. There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.

One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higher level skills and expertise.

So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction, to reduce people's fears.

28. What is the function of the second paragraph?

A. To explain the importance of developing new technology.

B. To show how technology affected employment in the past.

C. To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.

D. To give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.

29. How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?

A. Confusing

B. Reliable

C. Stable

D. Variable

30. According to paragraph 7, why does demand for products often increase after new technology is introduced?

A. There are more goods for people to choose from.

B. There is more demand for new skills in the economy.

C. Productivity improvements help raise workers’ salaries.

D. Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.

31. What is the author’s opinion about the introduction of new technology?

A. It does not have an effect on most people’s jobs.

B. Its benefits are usually not worth the introduction.

C. It usually leads to a significant increase in employment.

D. Its danger to peoples employment possibilities is overstated.

D

Supermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk, including soy, nut, and coconut milk. These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows’ milk for health reasons, as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability. While the dairy-free(非乳制的) options work well with cereal or in coffee, they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt. However, these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!

Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in 2014 after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’ milk-free alternatives, particularly for cheese. For Gandhi, who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza. Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some “really bad” dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwich

The two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products. In their university lab, the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast(酵母). This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins. The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.

The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier, has a longer shelf life and, most important of all, is Earth friendly. According to the company’s website, when compared to conventional milk production, their process uses 65% less energy, creates 84%o less greenhouse gas emissions and requires 91% less land and an amazing 98% less water! Best of all, since it contains real milk proteins, the product behaves like the cow-produced version, which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.

The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows’ milk alternatives available to consumers.

32. The underlined word "those" in paragraph 1 refers to_______.

A. alternatives

B. people

C. products

D. reasons

33. The company s founders were motivated to make the new product because of_______.

A. their deep concern for the environment

B. their worry that farm animals were poorly treated

C the over-consumption of the dairy-based products

D. the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently available

34. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?

A. The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.

B. The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.

C. Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.

D. The dairy-free milk will be more expensive than cow’s milk.

35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Healthier Cheese

B. New Milk Saves Planet

C. Fresher Milk, Better Future

D. Making Milk without Cows

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。

Imagine that you are in a remote village somewhere with no medical clinic. 36 Once the doctors get to you, they examine you and take blood samples, but they won't be able to help you until they take the samples back to the hospital to find out what is wrong. 37 Thanks to engineer Andy Ozcan, many people may never be in this situation. He has invented an app that turns your mobile phone into a diagnostic(诊断的)tool.

Ozcan's invention is important because it is very accurate and easy to use. In many remote places, even if doctors have microscopes and other instruments to help them make diagnoses, there may still be other problems. Many doctors, for example, don’t have enough training to correctly interpret what they see. 38 With Ozcan's mobile phone app, health workers can take a special photo of a blood sample and send it to a central computer at a hospital. The computer will then automatically interpret the photo and send a diagnosis back in a few minutes.

39 His technology only requires a mobile phone and an Internet connection. As more than four billion people already have cell phones, the cost of establishing the diagnostic system is fairly low.

By inventing a medical tool that uses existing technology---mobile phones---Ozcan has developed a medical tool that is both practical and economical. Therefore, it can be effectively almost anywhere. 40

A. Another reason that Ozcan's invention is important is that it is inexpensive.

B. Even though you may only have a simple infection (感染), you might die because of the delay.

C. People are trying to reduce the cost of this new medical tool.

D. Ozcan's simple, cost-effective tool might just save millions of lives around the world.

E. This tool has become much more popular all around the world.

F. You become very sick and must wait days until a mobile medical unit arrives to help.

G. As a result, they may diagnose illnesses incorrectly.

2018年广州一模试卷及参考答案详细版

广东省广州市2018届高三毕业班综合测试（一） 语文试题及答案解析 一、现代文阅读（35分） （一）论述类文本阅读（本题共3小题，9分） 阅读下面的文字，完成1—3题。 人们在学习中能否掌握正确的阅读方法以获得理想的效果，是一个非常重要的问题。在人生的不同阶段，学习目标不同，采取的阅读模式也不同。大体而言，阅读模式有知识型阅读与研究型阅读两种。研究型阅读主要有以下三种方式： 一是疑问式阅读。在知识型阅读阶段，读者往往将自己所阅读的著作视为权威的看法与正确的结论，很少对它们提出疑问，对经典的作品与权威人士的著作就更是如此。但是在研究型阅读中就大不相同，怀疑是读者面对所有著作应该持有的态度。疑问式的阅读对于研究能力的培养是至关重要的，因为所有的学术研究不外乎发现问题与解决问题，而发现问题又是解决问题的前提，而具有质疑的眼光又是发现问题的前提，可以说提出疑问是所有人在学术上取得进展的基础。提出的疑问如果一时解决不了，最好的做法就是先将它存起来，等遇到坚实的证据时再解决。脑子中有一批问题储存着，这本身就是一笔巨大的学术财富。 二是对比式阅读。在知识型阅读阶段，由于要追求知识的准确性与可靠性，读者就必须精心挑选阅读的对象，并将其作为权威的说法加以记忆，从而构成自己稳定的知识谱系。但是这种阅读习惯也容易形成盲从的缺陷。其实我们认识事物，经常都是在对比中进行的，研究型阅读也是如此。例如对比东晋的郭象、支遁和宋代的林希逸对《庄子·逍遥游》中“逍遥”的解释，我们就会发现支遁的解释比较接近庄子的本意，而郭象与林希逸的解释则深受魏晋玄学与宋代理学的影响。一般说来，在阅读这类经典性古籍时，研究者很少只读一种木子，而是选择几种重要的权威注本，同时进行细读以便进行对比，从而发现问题，提出疑问。 三是联想式阅读。在知识型阅读阶段，由于记忆知识的需要，读者常常将知识归纳成要点，然后努力将其纳入自己的头脑中。至于它们之间究竟有何联系与同异，一般是不在自己的考虑范围之内的，研究型阅读则不然。一个从事古代文学研究的学者读书时不仅会常常想到自己的专业，更重要的是还会常常想到自己目前所研究的对象与问题。经常进行这种联想式的阅读，就会有效地训练自己眼光的敏锐性与思维的鲜活性，从而提高自身的思辨能力。尽管联想式的阅读不太可能彻底改变一个人的先天因素，但人们通过有意识的训练，可以大大提高或最大限度地发挥自我的先天能力。 在人的一生中，知识型阅读与研究型阅读相互互结合，互为补充，人们需要弄清哪些领域需要研究型阅读，哪些领域又需要知识型阅读，并处理好二者之间的关系，这才是至关重要的。 （摘编自左东岭《从知识型阅读到研究型阅读》） 1．下列关于原文内容的理解和分析，正确的一项是（3分） A．研究型阅读中，发现问题的前提是对阅读对象持怀疑的态度，并具备质疑的眼光。 B．研究者阅读经典性古籍时，选择几种权威注本细读，就可以发现问题，提出疑问。 C．研究型阅读不用归纳知识点，它关注的是知识点之间的联系与异同，目的性较强。 D．知识型阅读与研究型阅读之间是互补的关系，在学习的不同阶段，二者缺一不可。2．下列对原文论证的相关分析，不正确的一项是（3分） A．文章以引导人们掌握正确的阅读方法作为出发点，论述了不同阅读阶段的特点。 B．文章主要运用了对比的论证方法，突出了研究型阅读在学术研究中的重要作用。 C．文章以郭象等人对“逍遥”的解释为例，旨在证明学术观点易受时代思潮影响。

Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you. Highly Sensitive Highly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron. For such people, individual or non- competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal. Type A Personality Type A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury. To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain. Type B Personality This laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxious Type B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports and

Who is organizing the Festival of Books? A. Book TV. B. The Los Angeles Times. C. Natural History Museum. D. Los Angeles Public Library.

2. How are the best book prizes chosen? A. By a group of experts. B. By a vote of the authors, C. By the reading public. D. By festival sponsors. 3. What is true about tickets to the festival? A. They are only for published authors. B. They include transport to each event. C. They can only be applied for online D. They can be purchased at the event location. B In 1800, only three percent of the world's population lived in cities. Only one city —Beijing —had a population of over a million. Most people lived in rural areas, and never saw a city in their lives. In 1900, just a hundred years later, roughly 150 million people lived in cities, and the world’s ten largest cities all had populations exceeding one million. By 2000, the number of city dwellers exceeded three billion; and in 2008, the world's population crossed a tipping point —more than half of the people on Earth lived in cities. By 2050, that could increase to over two-thirds. Clearly, humans have become an urban species. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many people viewed cities negatively —crowded, dirty environments full of disease and crime. They feared that as cities got bigger, living conditions would worsen. In recent decades, however, attitudes have changed. Many experts now think urbanization (城市化) is good news, offeri ng solutions to the problems of Earth’s growing population. Harvard economist Edward Glaeser, author of The Victory of the Cir, is one such person. Glaeser argues that cities are very productive because “the absence of space between people”reduces the cost of transporting goods, people, and ideas. While the flow of goods has always been important to cities, what is most important today is the flow of ideas. Successful cities enable people to learn from each other easily, and attract and reward smart people with higher wages. Another urbanization supporter is environmentalist Stewart Brand. Brand believes cities help the environment because they allow haft of the world’s population to live on about four percent of the land. This leaves more space for open country, such as farmland. City dwellers also have less impact per person on the environment than people in the countryside. Their roads, sewers, and power lines need fewer resources to build and operate. City apartments require less energy to heat, cool, and light. Most importantly, people in cities drive less so they produce fewer greenhouse gases per person. So it’s a mistake to see urbanization as evil; it’s a natural part of development. The challenge is how to manage the growth. 4. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about? A. The history of modern cities. B. Changes taking place within cities. C. How cities have grown over time. D. Why modern cities are changing. 5. How have experts’ attitudes towards cities changed in recent decades? A. They now view the weaknesses as strengths. B. They no longer see city-riving as attractive. C. They accept city life in spite of its problems. D. They think city-riving provides more benefits. 6. Which of the following would Edward Glaeser agree with? A. Cities provide more economic opportunities. B. City people get along better with each other. C. Over-crowded cities result in problems. D. Cities limit the flow of ideas. 7. According to Paragraph 4, what would be the result of moving people out of cities? A. Economic production would be reduced.
