A.You can pay the fare in cash. B.You can see where your ride is. C.You can get fare quotes in advance. D.You can find someone to share the fare. 解析:D 细节理解题。根据第二段的“With this service,you can find people that take the same route on a daily basis as you and split the fare with them”可知,使用Lyft软件的特别之处是你可以找到与你同路的人分担路费,故D项正确。 3.What do the four apps have in common? A.They are available worldwide. B.They are tied to taxi companies. C.They allow users to pay via app. D.They can identify your location. 解析:C 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知,可以使用Uher软件支付;根据第二段最后一句可知,可以使用Lyft软件支付;根据第三段第三句可知,可以使用Easy Taxi软件支付;根据第四段最后两句可知,可以使用Curb软件支付,也可以用现金支付。据此可以判断,四个软件的相同之处是都可以用软件支付费用。 干扰项分析:根据每一段的第一句可知,每个软件都有它的使用范围,并非全世界适用,故A项错误;B项文中只有第四段提及了,并不是所有软件,故B项错误;D项文中没有提及。 B (2018·陕西高三教学质量检测试题一) Many people have bought insurance,either life or property (财产),commercial or compulsory. Yet some people know little about it and some even misunderstand its nature and function. Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to a risk of some sort.The house owner,for example,knows that his property can be damaged by fire;the shipowner knows that his ships may be lost at sea;the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family poorer.On the other hand,not every house is damaged by fire nor every ship is lost at sea.If these persons each put a small amount of money into a pool,there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer losses.In other words,the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many.This is the basis of insurance.Those who pay the contribution are known as the insured and those who manage the_pool_of_contributions as insurers. The legal basis of all insurance is the policy.This is a printed form of contract on a piece of paper in best quality.It states that every year the insured shall pay an amount of money,which is called the premium:in return,the insurer will pay an amount of money or compensation for losses if the risk or event insured against actually happens. The premium for insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen,as suggested by past experience.If companies fix their premiums too high,there will be more competition in their area of insurance and they may lose business.On the other hand,if they make the premium too low,they will lose money and may even have to drop out of business. So the ordinary forces of supply and demand keep premiums at a level satisfactory to both the insurer and the insured. 【语篇解读】 本文主要对保险进行了简要介绍。 4.The underlined phrase in Para.2 most probably means ________. A.money paid by the insurers B.each premium C.money paid by all those insured D.the cost of administering insurance 解析:C 词义猜测题。根据第二段的“If these persons each put a small amount of money into a pool,there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer losses”可推知,the pool of contributions表示投保人所投的钱。 干扰项分析:A项错在paid,根据第二段的“who manage the pool of contributions as insurers”可知.这部分钱是由承保人来经营管理的;B项错在每一笔保险费,与语境pool不符;D项表示管理保险的成本,文章中并没有提到,故排除。 5.Insurance premiums do not become too high because ________. A.not many people insure themselves B.premiums depend on the risk of losses C.insurers have to be more competitive D.insurance companies can never lose money 解析:C 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“If companies fix their premiums too high,there will be more competition in their area of insurance and they may lose business”可知,保险公司也有竞争,因此保险费不能定得太高,否则就没有竞争力,也就意味着可能会失去业务,故选C。 6.According to the passage,insurance business gains profit because ________. A.more and more people buy insurance B.the firms have sound management C.the premium is increased year by year D.only a few of those insured suffer losses 解析:D 推理判断题。根据第二段的“On the other hand,not every house is damaged by fire nor every ship is lost at sea”“enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer losses”和“the losses of the few”可推知,保险公司获利是因为只有少部分投保人遭受意外风险。 干扰项分析:A项表示越来越多的人买保险,文章只提到许多人买保险,并没有提到投保人增加的趋势;B项表示公司的经营很好,文章中并没有提到;C项错在保险费逐年增加,文章中并没有提到,故排除。 7.The purpose of the passage is to ________. A.explain an insurance policy B.introduce insurance business C.persuade people to be insured D.warn people of possible losses 解析:B 写作意图题。文章第一段点题,再结合全文的整体内容可推知,本文主要介绍的是保险业务,故选B。 干扰项分析: A项错在介绍保单,只在第三段提及;C项错在劝说人们购买保险,本文作者对保险进行了客观的介绍,并没有劝说之意;D项只是本文中所提到的一点,并不是本文的写作目的,故排除。 C (2018·湖北七市(州)教科研协作体联合考试) For many people who live in cities,parks are an important part of the landscape.They provide a place for people to relax and play sports,as well as a shelter from the often severe environment of a city.What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits. One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen,which humans need to breathe.According to one study,an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving.Parks also make cities cooler.Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect:building materials such as metal and concrete(混凝土)absorb much more of the sun's heat and release(释放)it much more quickly than organic surfaces like trees and grass.Because city landscapes contain so much of these building materials,cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas.Parks and other green spaces help to lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect. Unfortunately,many cities cannot easily create more parks because most land is already being used for buildings,roads,parking lots,and other essential parts of the urban environment.However,cities could benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space:rooftop gardens.While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof,human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years.Some rooftop gardens are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment(投资)of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work. Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and garden spaces,but without taking up the muchneeded land.In the summer,rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun,which can significantly reduce cooling bills.In the winter,gardens help control the heat that materials like brick and concrete release so quickly,leading to savings on heating bills.Rooftop vegetable and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city settlers,making their diets healthier.Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy,they are also a smart environmental investment. 【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了在拥挤的城市里建立屋顶花园的好处。 8.The underlined word “emits”in the second paragraph probably means “ ________”. A.carries away B.takes up C.gives out D.breathes in 解析:C 词义猜测题。根据上文中的“an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide”可知,一英亩的树吸收的二氧化碳的量和一辆普通的汽车行驶11 000英里排放的二氧化碳的量是相等的。由此可知,emit与give out的意思相同,表示“释放”。 9.Which of the following contributes to the Urban Heat Island Effect? A.More building materials. B.More trees and grass. C.More parking lots. D.More rooftop gardens. 解析:A 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect:building materials such as metal and concrete(混凝土)absorb much more of the sun's heat...usually warmer than surrounding rural areas”可知,诸如金属和混凝土之类的建筑材料是城市热岛效应的始作俑者,故选A。 10.When it comes to rooftop gardens,what can be inferred from the passage? A.They make people much happier. B.They provide more benefits than urban parks. C.They help to save money and keep a healthy diet. D.They have become very popular in recent years. 解析:C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“reduce cooling bills”“leading to savings on heating bills”和“making their diets healthier”以及最后一段的整体内容可推知,屋顶花园能够降低取暖或降温的费用支出。同时,它还可以为蔬菜种植提供场地,为人们提供新鲜的蔬菜,从而使人们的饮食更健康,故选C。 干扰项分析:A项和D项文章中没有提到;根据最后一段 的第一句“Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and garden spaces,but without taking up the muchneeded land”可知,B项是错误的,故排除。 11.What's the author's attitude towards rooftop gardens? A.Sceptical. B.Supportive. C.Critical. D.Objective. 解析:B 考查观点态度。根据最后一段的第一句“Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and garden spaces, but without taking up the muchneeded land”并结合本段的整体内容可推知,作者是提倡创建屋顶花园的,故选B。sceptical“怀疑的”;critical“批判性的,批评的”;objective“客观的”。 D (2018·山东部分重点中学联考) They are one of the best rugby teams in the world.The players of the All Blacks,New Zealand's national rugby team,are strong,smart and fast.But,in fact,they win many of their games before the first whistle even blows. Before the game,during warmups,the All Blacks players gather in a semicircle.They stand with their captain in front of them and begin to dance.They hit their arms against their legs.They lift their feet into the air and slam them into the ground.They stick out their tongues and show the whites of their eyes. They shout ancient words and even scream. You may think they're crazy.And that is just what they want you to think. The rugby players perform the haka,which is a traditional Maori(毛利人)dance. The Maoris are the native people of New Zealand and this dance has been used as a war dance since the 19th century. Warriors originally performed the war dance before battles to show off their strength in order to intimidate the enemy.Rugby is` a violent game that many fans have compared to war.What better way is there to get excited before the game than doing a war dance? The 19th century French theorist Ernest Renan,one of the first real theorists who looked into the idea of nationalism,described the “nation”as “largescale togetherness,made up of the feeling of sacrifices that one has made in the past and of those that one is prepared to make in the future”. And New Zealand's haka is one of the world's most perfect acts of nationalism.“The haka,in its intensity,reflects it all:first,the solidarity(团结)of warriors—both of Maoris and nonMaoris backgroundsfighting for a common future.And then a recognition of the almost sacred past,”The Washington Post noted. Today in New Zealand,the haka is still performed at many different gatherings and celebrations,a connection to Maori ancestors that has continued despite colonization. 【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了新西兰的haka,一种能够展示力量并团结新西兰人的传统舞蹈。 【段意梳理】 第一段:简单介绍了新西兰的国家橄榄球队All Blacks。 第二段:对All Blacks的队员们赛前跳舞的介绍。 第三段:haka舞的渊源。 第四段:队员们跳这种舞蹈的原因分析。 第五段:理论家对国家主义的解释。 第六段:《华盛顿邮报》对haka舞所展示的新西兰精神的总结和评价。 第七段:haka舞在新西兰的传承和现状。 12.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Maori people,native New Zealanders. B.The popularity of rugby in New Zealand. C.A traditional dance goes on today in New Zealand. D.The magic of warmups before rugby matches in New Zealand. 解析:C 主旨大意题。根据文章关键词haka可知,本文主要介绍了新西兰的传统舞蹈haka。 干扰项分析:A项表示土生土长的新西兰人:毛利人,文中提到haka是毛利人的传统之舞,主要介绍舞蹈;B项表示橄榄球在新西兰的盛行,这只是本文的导入;D项表示橄榄球赛前热身的魅力所在.并不是文章的主旨。 13.The underlined word “intimidate” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”. A.threaten B.dissatisfy C.amaze D.revenge 解析:A 词义猜测题。结合“show off their strength”和“enemy”可推知, intimidate意为“恐吓,威胁”。故选A。 干扰项分析:B项dissatisfy“不满意”,与enemy不相称;C项amaze“使惊诧”,与enemy不相称;D项revenge“报复”,一种舞蹈并不能起到这样的作用。 14.Why do the All Blacks players perform the haka before a rugby match starts? A.Because they are crazy. B.Because they want to please their fans. C.Because it can let them be in high spirits. D.Because it is a tradition passed from their ancestors. 解析:C 推理判断题。根据第四段的“What better way is there to get excited before the game than doing a war dance”可推知,新西兰橄榄球队热身时跳haka是为了鼓舞士气。 干扰项分析:A项只是表面现象,不是目的所在;B项文章中没有提及;D项错在尽管这种舞是一种传统,但球员跳的真正目的是为比赛鼓舞士气。 15.What can we learn about the haka from the passage?

If you are determined to be more positive yourself, here are some ways you can do so: 1.Failure is part of learning. __1__. They understand that failure is an event, and doesn't define who they are. Negative people are emotionally disabled by failure because they allow it to define who they are. __2__. 2.__3__. Because they are team players, positive people will get behind and support ideas that are not theirs — even if they might disagree with them. Negative people have a hard time fully supporting ideas that they feel won't be successful. When an idea that wasn't theirs doesn't succeed, they are sure to give their teammates the “Itoldyouso” expression. 3.You're so good! __4__. They pay close attention to others when others do well, and they are quick to tell them. Negative people say, “Why would I praise people for things they are supposed to do?” Most importantly, it's not about the praise. __5__. The simple praise can strengthen relationships and motivate the person to do even better. Positive people don't underestimate (低估) the power of encouraging words. A.Positive people are all talkative B.Teamwork makes the dream work C.Positive people like to spread positivity D.Negative people know about failure very much E.It's about showing the other people that you notice them F.Positive people view failure as an opportunity to learn and get better G.They fail to understand that it's part of the learning and growing process 【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了成为一个积极乐观的人的方法。 1.解析:F 根据上文中的“Failure is part of learning”可推知,积极乐观的人能够从失败中学习,从而成长,所以选F项。 2.解析:G 空处与上文中的“They understand that failure is an event, and doesn't define who they are”形成对比,由此可推知,消极的人不能真正理解失败的含义,从而不能从中得到学习,有所进步,所以选G项。 3.解析:B 根据下文中的“Because they are team players, positive people will get behind and support ideas that are not theirs — even if they might disagree with them”可推知,团队协作很重要,积极的人会互相支持以实现梦想,所以选B项。 4.解析:C 根据空前一句“You're so good”可推知,积极乐观的人说积极的话语,传递正能量,所以选C项。 5.解析:E 根据上文的“Most importantly, it's not about the praise”及下文的“The simple praise can strengthen relationships and motivate the person to do even better”可推知,积极乐观的人赞扬别人表明他们在乎对方,从而可以改善人际关系,激励他人做得更好,所以选E项。查看更多
