‎2019高考英语二轮（阅读理解）珍品训练（04）及解析 ‎ （******）‎ ‎ Plagiarism is one of the most serious problems in schools and colleges. It has occurred as long as there have been teachers and students, but the recent growth of the Intemet has made it much worse. Recent studies show 30% of all students may be plagiarizing on every written homework they' ve done. What is plagiarism? It is using others' ideas and words without clearly mentioning where the information is from.‎ ‎ The ways to avoid plagiarism are.‎ ‎ * Put in quotations(引号) everything that comes directly from the text.‎ ‎ * Paraphrase (转述) ,but be sure you aren't just rearranging or replacing a few words. Instead, read over what you'll paraphrase carefully; close the text so that you can' t see any of it; and write out the idea quickly in your own words. Then check your paraphrase to make sure you haven't accidentally used the same expressions.‎ ‎ In US and UK universities, plagiarism is considered as cheating or dishonesty with punishment from a zero for the homework to a failing grade for the subject, to a loss of all grades for that term or an expel(开除)from the university for at least two terms.‎ ‎ Several methods are taken in US universities to stop students' plagiarizing on line, Some colleges are experimenting with a program that can control the computer's operating system during the test. Teachers also go to www. tumitin, com to catch cheaters. However, students need to be made clear of thereason why plagiarizing is wrong. ‎ ‎1. The word "plagiarism"means________.‎ ‎ A. cheating in the exams ‎ B. putting others' words in quotations ‎ C. rewriting others' articles D. stealing others' ideas or words ‎ 答案: D 指导：由第一段最后一句“Whatisplagiarism?hisusing others'ideasand words without clearly mentioning where the informationisfrom"可知D正确.‎ ‎********************************************************结束 A ‎ How would you like to come home after a long day, open the door, and walk into an elephant? That’s what you would do if you lived in Elephant House in Margete‎, ‎New Jersey. The elephant-shaped house was built in 1881 by James Lafferty. In 1962, Herbert Green built a chicken-shaped house.‎ ‎ Sarah Winchester tried to build a ghost-proof house in San Jose‎ ‎California. Workers built fake chimneys, doors that open onto blank walls and stairs that lead ‎ nowhere. Many rooms were torn down and then rebuilt in a new way to confuse the ghosts. It took 38 years to complete the house!‎ ‎ Some houses are built of strange materials. A house in Pigeon Cove, Massachusetts, is built of more than 100,000 newspapers. In Canada, George Pat built a house entirely out of bottles.‎ ‎ Some homes stand for great wealth and power. The Palace of Alhambra in Spain is one of the most beautiful homes in the world. The man who built it loved water. A stream runs through all 9 acres (英亩) of the palace. In each room there is a small pool of sparkling water.‎ ‎ Wealthy Americans design dream houses, too. In 1895, Cornelius Vanderbilt built and moved into a house named the Breakers. He called it his summer cottage. It cost $10 million to build and has walls decorated with gold. This “summer cottage” could hold 60 guests comfortably.‎ ‎ Dream houses don’t have to be expensive. A man named Baldasera built a house with 90 rooms for about only $ 200 by digging under the earth. Baldasera worked alone. He spent about 40 years completing his underground house.‎ ‎41. The passage mainly talks about .‎ ‎ A. old houses B. building materials ‎ C. building history D. unusual houses ‎42. The builder of the Palace‎ of ‎Alhambra is probably proud of .‎ ‎ A. the shining pools in the rooms B. his special personality ‎ C. his mother country Spain D. the large area of his house ‎43. The Breakers was built .‎ ‎ A. in 1884 by Sarah Winchester B. in 1992 by George Pat ‎ C. in 1895 by Cornelius Vanderbilt D. in 1962 by Herbert Green ‎44. Baldasera built his home .‎ ‎ A. without any tools B. without spending much money ‎ C. with his family D. with much help from others B A long weekend is a great opportunity to do something a little different. Many people use a long weekend for a getaway, a short trip to leave the stress of their everyday lives behind and explore, learn, or relax.‎ Hotel Romance ‎ Many hotels and resorts feature something special to start the getaway, such as champagne, flowers, or a fruit basket in the room on arrival. Getaway packages usually include a room with something special, a heart shaped bed, for example. Additionalo benefits could be room service meals or other private dining, plus tickets or discounts for local attractions.‎ Visit a Spa ‎ Spa getaways can take place at a location that focuses only on spa services or at a hotel that offers a spa as one of its features. Some spas emphasize treatments ‎ fit for their geographic area or a local attraction. A spa in a grape growing region might provide grape juice masks, or a hotel near a hot spring could offer mineral baths. Most spas offer a range of massage, health and beauty treatments, so a spa getaway can be relaxing with other benefits.‎ Learn a Skill ‎ A long weekend may not be enough time to become an expert at something new, but it provides a way for people to begin their explorations. Some organizations offer intensive courses that last two or three days. People with special interests can get away from their routines while learning such things as how to make beer, speak a new language, or take better photos.‎ Help Others ‎ Some organizations cooperate with businesses to have accommodations (住宿) and activities for short-term volunteers. Most volunteer vacations involve ecology friendly or charity activities. A volunteer getaway is a way to relieve stress and help others at the same time.‎ Stay in a National Park ‎ For those who want to relax in a rural environment, a national park fits the bill. Most national parks provide camping areas for tents and trailers. Several have cabins (小屋) within the parks available to rent. A getaway to a national park provides privacy, stress relief, and the time to get to know some important natural resources.‎ ‎45.

Which of the following can be rented in a national park?‎ A. Cabins. B. Trailers. C. Camping area. D. Privacy.‎ ‎48. The best title of the passage can be .‎ A. Away from Our Busy Work B. Good Ways to Relieve Stress C. Enjoy Life and Help Others D. Long Weekend Getaway Ideas C ‎ A recent study carried out at the University of Brighton finds that students in Brighton and Hove tend to be as part of their local communities instead of just in the students' dormitories.‎ ‎ Drs Smith and Holt, who made the study, found that only limited number of students live together in large groups in Brighton and Hove. In fact, the city provides a valuable case study for other university towns in that, unlike cities such as Nottingham, Cardiff, Leeds and Birmingham, there is no evidence of a "student ghetto"‎ ‎ for the students who are relatively poor.‎ ‎ The study finds three main factors influencing the Brighton and Hove situation: ‎ ‎ The active role of the University's Accommodation Office and its creative use has resulted in students being relatively dispersed (分散) throughout the city, and there is limited evidence of private house company guiding students to particular areas.‎ ‎ Most Brighton and Hove students do not feel the need to live in a specific student area to get a student identity. They feel "at home" together with other social groups and do not restrict their shopping or social lives to student-oriented services and facilities. According to the study, the city's cultural diversity is a major influence here and it provides a valuable example for students mixing easily in the local community.‎ ‎ Students consider a wide range of possible living locations throughout the city. Their choices are, however, to some extent limited by negative views of some areas within Brighton and Hove. The study suggests that more effective student-community relations could help to change these negative views, with the result that new living areas for the city's increasing student population could and should be opened up. Such a development would reduce the possibility of any ' student ghetto' forming in the city in the future.‎ ‎ The study also included a survey of what 350 Brighton and Hove students thought about their accommodation. This has proved high levels of satisfaction, both in terms of quality and location.‎ ‎49. According to the passage, the students are ‎ A. choosing different places to live in the city ‎ B. fond of living together with each other ‎ C. unlikely to go to certain places ‎ D. satisfied with the university dorms ‎50. What does "student ghetto" refer to?‎ ‎ A. A poor city which students mostly visit.‎ ‎ B. A good place where students prefer to live.‎ ‎ C. A terrible place for students to visit.‎ ‎ D. A poor area where students mostly live.‎ ‎51. Which of the following is true about the passage?‎ ‎ A. There are student ghettos in other university towns of Britain.‎ ‎ B. The city encourages students to live in certain areas.‎ ‎ C. The students don't like living in university dorms.‎ ‎ D. The students are pleased with the university life.‎ ‎52. Which word can best describe the tone of the passage?‎ ‎ Pt. Unsatisfying. 13. Subjective. C. Objective. D. Critical.‎ D In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no ‎ shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied．Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories．She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year．‎ As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them．I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip form the publishers. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories．What if she doesn't win the contest again? That's the strange thing about being a parent．So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface．‎ A revelation （启示） came last week when I asked her, "Don't you want to win again?" "No," she replied, "I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”‎ I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she naturally told them．Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts （冲突） and endings for her tales．The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly "guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson．I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it．‎ Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks．Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting （借用） my daughter's experience．‎ While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help when asked．All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices．‎ ‎53．What do we learn from the first paragraph?‎ ‎ A．Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities．‎ ‎ B．Rebecca is much too busy to enjoy her leisure time．‎ ‎ C．Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing．‎ ‎ D．A lot of recreations compete for children's time nowadays．‎ ‎54．What did the author say about her own writing experience?‎ ‎ A．She didn't quite live up to her reputation as a writer．‎ ‎ B．Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations．‎ ‎ C．She was constantly under the pressures of writing more．‎ ‎ D．Most her stories had been rejected by publishers．‎ ‎55．The author took great efforts to corect her daughter's stories because ________．‎ ‎ A．She believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance ‎ B．she didn't want to disappoint her daughter who needed her help so much ‎ ‎ C．she wanted to help her daughter realize her dream of becoming a writer ‎ D．she was afraid her daughter's imagination might run wild while writing ‎56．What's the author's advice for parents?‎ ‎ A．A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue．‎ ‎ B．Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience．‎ ‎ C．Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in．‎ ‎ D．Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions．‎ E The apple tree may be one of the oldest fruit trees in the world．There is evidence of people eating apples all the way back in the Stone Age．This sweet-tasting, healthy fruit is still a favorite among people everywhere．More than 60 million tons of apples are eaten worldwide each year． ‎ Now there may be good news for apple lovers．Soon they may be even crunchier （香脆） and juicier．Scientists have now mapped the genome of the Golden Delicious apple．A global team of 86 scientists from Italy, France, New Zealand, Belgium, and the US spent two years on the work．Professor Riccardo Velasco in Italy, who led the research team, said that mapping the genome would have a big effect on apple breeding （培育）．"This breakthrough will help us to develop high quality traits and bring new things to the apple market,” he told BBC News．‎ Scientists hope improvements to the popular Golden Delicious apple, which began to grow in the US more than a century ago, could make the fruit look and taste better．The decoding of the apple's DNA also tells us more about its beginning．The researchers traced the fruit back to Malus sieversii, a wild plant that grew in the mountains of southern Kazakhstan about 4000 years ago．There are more than 7,500 varieties of apple known today．‎ The team now wants to find more of the apple's secrets, such as which genes control flavor．Looking through all the information takes time．Scientists turned to some of the apple's relatives, pears, peaches, and grapes, to help them finish their job．Even though these fruit look and taste different, they share some genes．"Knowing how a gene in a peach works sheds light on how a similar gene may work in an apple," said Amit Dhingra from Washington State University, one of the researchers．"It also helps us identify what genes are unique to each fruit.”‎ ‎57．Which of the following statements is TRUE of apples?‎ ‎ A．Apples are considered healthy food．‎ ‎ B．Apples have been eaten for millions of years．‎ ‎ C．Apples don't vary much in different parts of the world．‎ ‎ D．Apples share exactly the same genes with pears and grapes．‎ ‎58．The researchers on the global team are trying to improve the quality of apples by_ _.‎ ‎ A．cross-breeding B．creating new DNA ‎ C．studying their genes ． D．finding new varieties ‎59．What does the underlined phrase "sheds light on" mean?‎ ‎ A．Brings light to． B．Tests out on．‎ ‎ C．Helps to explain． D．Throws doubts on ‎ ‎60．The main point of the passage is that ________．‎ ‎ A．even apples have secrets ‎ B．scientists have mapped the DNA of apples ‎ C．scientists can make apples tastier ‎ D．apples are so popular because of their flavor 参考答案 ‎41-44 CACB 45-48 DDAD ‎ ‎49-52 ADAC 53-56 DBAB 57-60 ACCB
