青岛市2019高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（11）（答案及解析）‎ 阅读理解 Words：420　难度系数：★★★　建议用时：7分钟 The discovery of an ancient giant panda skull has confirmed its bamboo diet dates back more than 2 million years and may have played a key part in its survival.‎ A ChineseUS research team reports its results today following studies on a fossil skull found in South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in 2019.‎ The six fossils unearthed in Jinyin Cave are dated between 2.4 and 2 million years ago，according to the report in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences，an influential US journal.‎ Jin Changzhu，of the Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS)and lead author of the paper，said the smaller fossil skull indicates the giant pandas were about a third smaller than today’s pandas.‎ Researchers knew the panda reached its maximum size about 500,000 years ago，when it peaked，and then gradually became smaller.‎ Jin，a paleontologist(古生物学者)at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology(古人类学)attached to the CAS，said the size variation was a basic rule of evolution.‎ ‎“A species tends to grow bigger when it reaches the peak of its population，but becomes smaller when numbers decline，”he said.‎ The dental remains of the skull，which is the oldest giant panda skull ever found，are similar to today’s pandas’，indicating the type of teeth that could munch(用力嚼)mountains of bamboo.A panda can eat up to ‎40 kg of bamboo per day.‎ Paleoanthropologist Russell Ciochon，the US coauthor at the University of Iowa，said the panda’s focus on bamboo could have helped it survive all these years.‎ ‎“Once an animal begins to rely on a common and stable food source，such as bamboo，it tends to evolve a larger body size，”he said.“As individuals of the evolving species grow bigger，they have a better chance not to be eaten by predators(肉食动物) due to their larger body size.”‎ ‎【解题导语】　2019年在广西壮族自治区出土的一个大熊猫头骨化石证明，大熊猫在两百多万年前已经以竹子为主食，而且当时的大熊猫比如今的大熊猫小三分之一。本文介绍了这一考古发现的相关细节。‎ ‎1．According to the research of the CAS，there were most pandas in the world________.‎ A．2 million years ago B．between 2.4 and 2 million years ago C．500,000 years ago D．nowadays 解析：选C。考查推理判断。第五段说，大约50‎ 万年前，大熊猫的个头发展到了顶峰；第七段说，一个物种到达其数量顶峰的时候，其个头往往变大，随着其数量的减少，个头也变小了。从这两处信息判断，在约50万年前，大熊猫数量最多。‎ ‎2．The underlined word “variation” in Para.6 means ________.‎ A．fall　　　　　　　　 B．change C．increase D．decrease 解析：选B。考查猜测词义。第五段说到大熊猫个头的大小变化，再结合画线词前面的size判断，其含义应该是B“变化”，即其个头的大小变化是进化的基本规则。‎ ‎3．From the passage，we can learn that________.‎ A．pandas began to eat bamboo 2 million years ago B．a species tends to grow smaller when numbers decline C．the giant pandas were about a third the size of today’s pandas D．pandas’ teeth has played an important role in their development 解析：选B。文章第七段说，一个物种到达其数量顶峰时，其个头往往变大，而随着数量的减少，其个头也慢慢变小，由此判断B项陈述正确。文章开头说大熊猫吃竹子的历史可追溯到两百多万年前，故A项表述错误；从第四段可知C项错误，当时大熊猫的个头不是现在大熊猫的三分之一；文章没有谈到大熊猫的牙齿对其发展的重要作用，C项排除。‎ ‎4．The passage mainly tells us that________.‎ A．pandas are endangered B．pandas had a long history C．pandas had bamboo to beat predators D．today’s pandas are similar to the oldest ones 解析：选C。考查主旨大意。这是一篇研究发现，本文的开头即为文章的中心，正是因为有竹子作为固定的食物来源，大熊猫的个头才长得很大，使之免于落入肉食动物之口。故C项为本文主旨。[来源:学.科.网Z.X.X.K]‎ ‎*********************************************************结束 命题点1 记叙文 本类考题解答锦囊 ‎ 记叙文是高考完形填空的主打题材。分析高考完型填空中的记叙文，我们可以看出命题者在选题时煞费苦心的。记叙类型填空一般有这么几种情况：‎ ‎ 1．情节曲折，信息量大，结尾往往出乎意料。这样的记叙文往往情节前后有较大的曲折变化，最后才出现结果，这个结果有时出乎人们的意料。作者在叙述的过程中往往还会把人物的语言、行为、心理的描写融入到叙述中，增加了大家理解文章的难度。必须理清上下文的脉络，对人物的语言、行为、心理等做出合理的想像和推理，并仔细揣摩作者的用意，才能透彻地理解文章、才能对具体的语境理解到位。‎ ‎2．蕴含哲理，耐人寻味。有些叙述性完形填空往往在平淡的叙述中蕴含着深刻的生活哲理，因此考生不仅要理解文章的字面意思，更重要的是要挖掘文章的内涵和哲理，这样才能透彻地理解文章，做好完形填空。‎ Ⅰ 高考最新热门题 ‎1.(典型例题)‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1～20各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。‎ ‎ It was the night before the composition was due.

Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them. ‎ Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources（资源）, we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible. ‎ In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best. ‎ ‎50. From the passage we know that some students often _______ in the school.

Since I believed that a long night was waiting for me ahead, I had no choice but to bring a TV into his room to kill off the hours until dawn. I was surprised that the moment I turned on the TV the baby became quiet right away and fixed his little eyes brightly on the screen. Not willing to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoed out of the room, leaving him to watch the boring TV programs. ‎ I heard no more of the baby’s crying that night and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV by himself. I found there was a metaphor(暗喻) in my baby’s ‎ behavior(行为) for the new generation. When I gave my boy some books to go over, he only spit upon them; when I read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools with my students. I find that our students don’t read and they look down upon reading and make light of those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have drawn a conclusion: “Let them watch it!” If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight against it? Let them watch what they want！ ‎ ‎1. Why did the father bring a TV set into his son’s room? ‎ A. To enjoy some interesting programs together with his son. ‎ B.

If untreated this illness could affect everything you do. What is this illness? Depression. Serious depression requires professional treatment. Self-induced depression is something each of ‎ us can change. ‎ Everyone's circumstances are different, but the causes of self-induced depression are common: low self-esteem, hurtful thinking and a bad attitude. ‎ So how can we change the way we think, feel, and cultivate a cheerful attitude? ‎ First we must look at ourselves, truly and honestly examining our motives for what we wish to achieve. If you are dissatisfied because you feel you haven't or can't do anything, then one step is needed - to set goals.‎ Always start your goals relatively small and easy to attain. Think of them as sand; one grain may be insignificant but as a group they form the beach. Once you have set and attained small goals for yourself, move on to slightly larger, more challenging goals. ‎ It takes more than just setting goals to be happy. It takes positive thinking. How can we attain this? ‎ There are a number of factors that can make us think negatively and one of those is diet. ‎ In my opinion, a person who eats a lot of take out and fast food is feeding their body junk. Start by eating better foods which give the body much NEEDED minerals. If your physical body is happy, it's much easier for your mental body or "thinking ability" to be happy.

Remember, everything you wear costs money but to wear a smile is free.

According to the passage we can learn that ____________.‎ A. a practical goal can help people to achieve a sense of success B. we shouldn’t be satisfied with small goals that are insignificant C. we should avoid challenging goals that may lead to failure A. people can enjoy happiness only if they set reasonable goals 2. In order to achieve positive thinking a person should do these things EXCEPT____________.‎ A. set challenging goals B. eat healthier foods C. exercise half an hour a day D. always wear a smile ‎4.
