A【浙江省“五校联考”2019届高三上学期第一次考试】‎ It was when I was walking to my office, trailed by three young people whose ages ranged from 16 to 25, flowing down the corridor behind me like the tail of a kite, that I thought of it for the first time.‎ This could be because I am not actually a mother. Until recently, I was not a “real” stepmother either. But I have been living with the man who is now my husband, Bernardo for 10 years and in those 10 years, not only have his younger daughters spent every other weekend and half of their school holiday with us but also his son has lived with us full-time. In fact, when Bernardo asked me to move in, he asked his son for permission first.‎ Being a step mum is hard enough but being a sort-of-step-mother is about the most awkward position a mature woman can find herself in. With my sort-of-steppies, I have occupied a place of influence, power and sometimes extreme anger by turns. I have stepped on a delicate path between being a grown-up friend, a bridge of influence with their father, the woman of the house, and a figure of authority – but not too much.‎ Love the kids or hate them, you must always remember that no matter how much you cook, clean, hug, comfort and discipline, you will never actually count.‎ To survive, I trained myself to love the stepkids as hard as I could, but not to care. It’s a handy piece of good mental health trickery I recommend to anyone in my position. I can help with homework, yes, but not bother about the results of that homework. I can teach them good manners, but not care about the bad habits they learn at home. Semi-detached is the position.‎ ‎1. Which of the following is true about Bernardo?‎ A. Bernardo seldom cares about the kids.‎ B. Bernardo dislikes living with his kids.‎ C. Bernardo respects the opinion of his kids.‎ D. Bernardo doesn’t recognize his wife as a “real” stepmother.‎ ‎2. What does the author think of her role in the family?‎ A. She was totally favored by the kids.‎ B. She has acted as an enemy of the kids.‎ C. She didn’t have any influence in the family.‎ D. She was the communication bridge between kids and their father.‎ ‎3. What’s the author’s advice for stepmothers in the last paragraph?‎ A. Be partly engaged in kids’ life.‎ B. Care little about kids’ behavior.‎ C. Seldom get involved in kids’ homework.‎ D. Become the absolute authority of the family.‎ ‎【答案】1. C 2. D 3. A ‎【解析】‎ 本文为应用文。主要叙述作为一个继母应该如何与孩子相处才是一个适当的度。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“In fact, when Bernardo asked me to move in, he asked his son for permission first.”根据本句的内容可知，Bernardo再婚让妻子搬进家里，还要征求孩子们的同意，由此可推断出Bernardo尊重孩子的意见。分析选项可知C项符合题意。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容It’s a handy piece of good mental health trickery I recommend to anyone in my position. I can help with homework, yes, but not bother about the results of that homework. I can teach them good manners, but not care about the bad habits they learn at home. Semi-detached is the position.可知，作者对于继母的建议就是部分地参与到孩子们的生活中。分析选项可知A项符合题意，故选A项。‎ ‎2. B【河北省邢台市2019届高三上学期第一次月考】‎ I have a neighbor who is a capable, fashionable, seventy-year-old, single woman. Her name is Grace. Grace was laid off from her job a little over two years ago and has been living off her savings ever since but not officially "retired". Grace called me up one day about this time last year and asked if I had a ladder. She needed to clean out her gutters (水槽) on the roof and wanted me to hold the ladder.‎ She didn’t want me to climb up and clean the gutters. She just wanted me to hold the ladder. As it happened I did have a ladder. I said: “The leaves are going to fall off the trees in a month, why don’t we wait till they finish and do it then?” She agreed and naturally we didn’t talk about it again until spring. Spring in Tennessee is wild and we talked about it over the course of three weeks in which it rained nearly every day, then I got busy and Grace went into seclusion (隐居).‎ A couple of weeks ago, she told me she’d been spending too much money and decided to apply for a bar tending job at a local hotel. “Now I don’t know about you all but I’d never considered what it would be like to apply for and begin a new job at the age of seventy. I’m fifty-three and the older I get, the more I think about how great it’ll be if I can just get out of bed when I’m seventy.” Anyway, she got the job, serving the bar and tending banquets at the hotel.‎ The day when she left for her training at 6 am, I walked across the street with my ladder and cleaned out her gutters.‎ ‎4. What did Grace want the author to do?‎ A. Make a ladder. B. Retire completely.‎ C. Lend her a ladder. D. Give her suggestions.‎ ‎5. When did the author advise Grace to clean her gutters?‎ A. In early spring. B. In rainy season.‎ C. In time of leaves falling. D. In time of few leaves on trees.‎ ‎6. What was the author’s neighbor doing when the author wrote the text?‎ A. Working at a hotel. B. Training for her job.‎ C. Cleaning out her house. D. Walking with the author.‎ ‎7. What did the author think of her neighbor’s re-employment?‎ A. Valuable. B. Impossible.‎ C. Reasonable. D. Unbelievable.‎ ‎【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. D ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段Grace called me up one day about this time last year and asked if I had a ladder. She needed to clean out her gutters (水槽) on the roof and wanted me to hold the ladder.（Grace去年的这个时候问我是否有梯子。她需要清理水槽并想让我帮助她扶梯子）可知，Grace想借作者的梯子用一用。故选C。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章的时间状语Grace called me up one day about this time last year. She agreed and naturally we didn’t talk about it again until spring和Spring in Tennessee is wild and we talked about it over the course of three weeks可知，今年Grace得到了一份服务员的工作，故作者写这篇文章的时候，Grace应该是上班了。故选A。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段Now I don’t know about you all but I’d never considered what it would be like to apply for and begin a new job at the age of seventy.（我并不太了解你，但是我从来没考虑过在七十岁的时候申请一份新的工作会是什么样子）可知，作者对于Grace做这份工作感到难以置信。故选D。‎ ‎3. A【山东省淄博实验中学、淄博五中2019届高三上学期第一次教学诊断】‎ UK is becoming a popular destination for people who wish to study abroad. However, Britain is quite an expensive place to study and live in. Tuition fees have now reached £ 9,250 a year and students also face some of the highest living costs in the world.‎ Fortunately, there are a number of countries where universities offer degree programs entirely in English, along with the chance to learn the local language while you live there. Here are three of the options.‎ Tianjin University Moving to China is not for the faint hearted. Undergraduate degree courses at Tianjin last four years. Living costs are only around £ 400 a month and tuition fees are £ 2,300 a year. Flights will cost £ 3,600 over the four years. The total cost, at £ 28,800, is still around half that of a three-year degree in Britain. Tianjin is one of the world’s latest cities and is only a half-hour train ride from Beijing. Three undergraduate programs are offered in English: Chemical Engineering, Environment & Energy and Pharmaceutical Science.‎ University of Amsterdam The Dutch capital is not a cheap city to live in, but standard tuition fees of £ 1,800 a year make it significantly ‎ cheaper than a British degree. There are 14 bachelor’s degrees on offer that are taught in English, including Political Science, Economics & Business Economics and Actuarial Science. Nearly all Dutch people speak English, making it an easy country to get by in.‎ University of Milan The University of Milan’s fees range from £ 140 to £3,650 a year. The one bachelor’s degree offered entirely in English---Political Science is a three-year course. While living costs in Milan are high, the significantly lower fees make it a cheaper option than a British university.‎ ‎3. What is the purpose of the text?‎ A. To encourage people to study abroad.‎ B. To introduce some affordable universities.‎ C. To advertise some degree programs.‎ D. To compare tuition fees and living costs.‎ ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个学费和消费都比英国低的完全用英语授课且提供学位课程的几个大学。‎ ‎4. C【山东省淄博实验中学、淄博五中2019届高三上学期第一次教学诊断】‎ Many leading AI researchers think that in a matter of decades, artificial intelligence will be able to do not merely some of our jobs, but all of our jobs, forever transforming life on Earth.‎ The reason why many reject this as science fiction is that we’ve traditionally thought of intelligence as something mysterious that can only exist in biological organisms, especially humans. But such an idea is unscientific.‎ From my point of view as a physicist and AI researcher, intelligence is simply a certain kind of information-processing performed by elementary particles(基本粒子) moving around, and there is no law of physics that says one can’t build machines more intelligent than us in all ways. This suggests that we’ve only seen the tip of the intelligence iceberg and that there is an amazing potential to unlock the full intelligence that is potential in nature and use it to help humanity.‎ If we get it right, the upside is huge. Since everything we love about civilization is the product of ‎ intelligence, amplifying (扩大) our own intelligence with AI has the potential to solve tomorrow’s toughest problems. For example, why risk our loved ones dying in traffic accidents that self-driving cars could prevent or dying of cancers that AI might help us find cures for? Why not increase productivity through automation (自动化) and use AI to accelerate our research and development of affordable sustainable (可持续的) energy?‎ I’m optimistic that we can develop rapidly with advanced AI as long as we win the race between the growing power of our technology and the knowledge with which we manage it. But this requires giving up our outdated concept of learning form mistakes. That helped us win the race with less powerful technology: We messed up with fire and then invented fire extinguishers (灭火器), and we messed up with cars and then invented seat belts. However, it’s an awful idea for more powerful technologies, such as nuclear weapons or superintelligent AI— where even a single mistake is unacceptable and we need to get things right the first time.‎ ‎11. What’s important for us in the race between people and technology?‎ A. Learning from failure. B. Increasing our intelligence.‎ C. Avoiding making mistakes. D. Making accurate predictions.‎ ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。作者是一个物理学家和人工智能研究者，他向我们阐述了我们对人工智能发展的误解及人工智能的优势。‎ ‎5.

B【甘肃省天水市第一中学2019届高三上学期一轮复习第二次质量检测】‎ ‎“City Cycling USA: Los Angeles,” a pocket-sized tour guide to seeing Los Angeles on two wheels, is seemingly for visitors; for locals, its series of bike-friendly paths and itineraries (行程) are a road-map to becoming tourists in their own city again.‎ ‎“City Cycling” explores five neighborhoods in the Westside and Eastside and generally north of the 10 and south of the 101. Itineraries fit the period of a day, beginning with spots for coffee, walking along museums and shops, and finishing off with recommendations of where to buy a well-deserved drink. Published by Thames and Hudson in association with London cycling brand Rapha Racing, the guidebook is among the first U.S. sections — alongside New York, Chicago and San Francisco — in a series launched in 2013 with biking tours of eight European cities.‎ Greatest hits such as the Bradbury Building and Echo Park Lake are included in the neighborhood tours, with plenty of fashionable places for where to eat — Eggslut, Pine & Crane and Gjusta. The guide is a reminder of how crowdedly packed each enclave (飞地) of L.A. is with unusual destinations, the large number of places to explore within a few square mile radius (半径), easily done once we step out of the car.‎ Los Angeles’ famously pleasant weather makes it an ideal city for exploring by bike; neighborhoods have different styles. While the car still plays an important role, cycling culture, like CicLAvia, already has full support, and is prepared to grow with the implementation (实施) of Mobility Plan 2035, which aims to make the city more bike friendly. “City Cycling USA: Los Angeles” is a start.‎ ‎4. Who is City Cycling USA: Los Angeles really intended for?‎ A. Locals on bikes. B. Visitors on bikes.‎ C. Tourist on bikes D. Bicyclists ‎5. Where does each itinerary begin and end?‎ A. Where there is a café.‎ B. Where it is convenient for tourists on bikes.‎ C. Where drink can be bought easily.‎ D. Where there are museums and shops.‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段“….is seemingly for visitors; for locals, its series of bike-friendly paths and itineraries (行程) are a road-map to becoming tourists in their own city again.”可知“City Cycling USA: Los Angeles”表面似乎是为游客设计的，实际上是为本地人骑自行车游览这座城市而设计的。故A项正确。‎ ‎7. B【广东省2019届高三六校第一次联考】‎ Youth football team members rescued more than two weeks after sudden flooding trapped them in a cave in Thailand are now being well looked after at a hospital in the northern city of Chiang Rai. In addition to treating the boys for potential body fluid loss, inadequate nutrition and lack of oxygen, their doctors also plan to closely monitor them for symptoms of diseases that may have been infected by animals living in the cave.‎ ‎“The next step is to make sure those kids and their families are safe, because living in a cave provides a different environment, which might contain animals that could transmit…disease,” said the local hospital. The boys and their family members have been told to watch for symptoms such as headache, nausea(反胃), muscle pain or difficulty breathing, the reports added.‎ Yet based on the location where the boys were trapped—more than four kilometers from the cave complex’s main entrance, past some fully submerged passages—and the fact they have been swimming out wearing full scuba face masks, it seems unlikely that they were living with bats in the cave or breathed in bat-associated bacteria during their rescue, several infectious disease experts said. “It’s hard to imagine bats got that deep into the cave because of all those narrow passageways, but it is possible,” says Ian Lipkin, an animal expert and professor at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. “It’s unlikely that there would be many animals in there,” notes Jonathan Epstein, a doctor at EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit organization that studies diseases and how to prevent them. Bats typically like to rest in areas they can easily enter and exit, not in places that fully flood, he adds.‎ Bats in Thailand have been linked with a wide range of viruses that are similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)—Lipkin says. But it seems more likely the boys would have been exposed to infection-causing bacteria when they swam through the dirty water with cuts and scrapes. “If you are trying to prioritize issues with respect to health care for these kids, number one would be psychological damage and second will be bacterial ‎ infections from the cuts and scrapes they may have encountered.” Lipkin says.‎ ‎4. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the potential symptom of the rescued team members?‎ A. Lacking body water B. Unbalanced nutrition C. Pain in the head and muscles D. Adequate oxygen ‎5. The underlined word “submerged” in paragraph 3 means ____________.‎ A. under the water B. wild and dangerous C. with animals D. bat-associated ‎6. Which is true about the caves and the trapped people?‎ A. Jonathan Epstein thought it possible for the team members to be attacked by bats in the fully-flooded cave.‎ B. Lipkin argued bats were not able to get deep into the narrow cave where the kids were trapped.‎ C. Lipkin said the victims might be infected when their body were exposed to bacterial water during the rescue.‎ D. Lipkin believed the most important issue for the cave-trapped teenagers was infectious bacteria examination.‎ ‎7. What is the text type of the passage?‎ A. An academic essay about bats. B. A newspaper article.‎ C. A medical magazine. D. A Thai website about sports.‎ ‎【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B ‎【4题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段中In addition to treating the boys for potential body fluid loss, inadequate nutrition and lack of oxygen, their doctors also plan to closely monitor them for symptoms of diseases that may have been infected by animals living in the cave.可知，根据这篇文章，Adequate oxygen不是获救的团队成员的潜在症状。故选D。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第三段中Yet based on the location where the boys were trapped—more than four kilometers from the cave complex’s main entrance, past some fully submerged passages—and the fact they have been ‎ swimming out wearing full scuba face masks, it seems unlikely that they were living with bats in the cave or breathed in bat-associated bacteria during their rescue, several infectious disease experts said. 然而基于男孩被困的位置——从洞穴建筑群的正门走了4多公里，经过了一些完全淹没的通道——事实上，他们一直穿着带着潜水面罩的面具游泳，他们似乎不太可能在洞穴里和蝙蝠生活在一起或者在救援过程中呼吸与蝙蝠相关的细菌。由此推知划线词的意思是“在水下”，故选A。‎ 的水中时，他们可能会被感染。故选C。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 推理判断题。纵观全文，特别是第一段中Youth football team members rescued more than two weeks after sudden flooding trapped them in a cave in Thailand are now being well looked after at a hospital in the northern city of Chiang Rai.可知，文章既不是一篇关于蝙蝠的学术论文、一本医学杂志，也不是一个关于体育的泰国网站，而是一篇新闻报道。故选B。‎ ‎8. B【辽宁省六校协作体2019届高三上学期期初联考】‎ What can be better than a sweet treat with health benefits? As it happens, our favourite February food, chocolate, has a few shinning characteristics. It comes from the Theobroma cacao tree (food for the Gods), from a bean that grows on that tropical tree. Chocolate originated in Mexico and Central and South America, but West Africa now produces most of the world’s cocoa. Look for fair trade chocolate that meets environmental and labour standards at natural foods markets in Kitsilano and the West End, at Karmavore in New Westminster and at Nature’s Fare Markets throughout the province.‎ Dark or semisweet chocolate is typically a vegan(素食) product. Because chocolate contains antioxidants（抗氧化剂） that prevent the oxidation （氧化）of LDL (bad) cholesterol（胆固醇）, it has gained a reputation of being beneficial for our heart health. Eaten in an appropriate amount, chocolate may lower blood pressure.‎ Chocolate is also a source of iron – a “precious metal” when it comes to human health. As part of red blood cells, iron plays a central role in transporting oxygen to the body and carrying away the waste product carbon dioxide. Each day, we lose tiny amounts of iron in cells that are missing from skin and the inner lining of the ‎ intestine(肠壁). If our intake is not enough to replace our losses, a tired feeling and sensitivity to cold may develop. With further consuming, people feel exhausted, chilly and even headaches; the skin may appear pale. Since iron absence is such an obvious condition and easily diagnosed, if you have any doubts about your iron level, have a lab test done.‎ We are good at recycling iron, however, losses must be replaced. Two of the Chocolate Butter Balls in the recipe(食谱) below will provide one quarter of the recommended intake of eight mg iron for the day.‎ ‎4. Which region produces most of the world’s cocoa now?‎ A. Mexico B. Central America C. South America D. West Africa ‎5. Why is chocolate beneficial for our heart health?‎ A. It contains antioxidants B. It comes from the cacao tree.‎ C. It originates in Mexico. D. It is a sweet treat.‎ ‎6. What does “chilly” in the third paragraph mean?‎ A. easy to be angry B. having a fever C. sensitive to cold D. feeling tired ‎7. From which is the text probably taken?‎ A. A biology textbook. B. A health magazine.‎ C. A research paper. D. A travel brochure.‎ ‎【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。文章谈论的是chocolate与健康的关系。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第三段中If our intake is not enough to replace our losses, a tired feeling and sensitivity to cold may develop. With further consuming, people feel exhausted, chilly and even headaches; the skin may appear pale. 如果我们的摄入量不足以弥补我们的损失，那么就会产生一种疲惫的感觉和对寒冷的敏感性。随着消费的增加，人们感到疲惫、寒冷甚至头痛；皮肤可能显得苍白。根据句中的sensitivity to cold可推知划线词的意思是“对冷敏感”。故选C。‎ ‎9. D【2019届四川省华蓥市第一中学高三入学调研】‎ Driverless cars are the best-known example of how artificial intelligence is influencing daily life in China, according to a new report on social attitudes toward AI technology that was released at Fudan University on May 17.‎ Based on the responses of 625 questionnaires made by Fudan University’s National Center for Cultural Innovation Research and the communication and data science laboratory, the report states that nearly 90 percent of the respondents are familiar with driverless cars, with over 67, percent having access to both positive and negative information on cars. About 62 percent of the respondents said they were willing to ride in driverless cars. Meanwhile, around 47 percent were supportive of unmanned vehicle road tests in the country. However, more than 30 percent of the respondents expressed their concerns about the safety of driverless cars.‎ If personal injuries or property loss are suffered in the event of an accident, 80.5 percent of the respondents said that the designers of the AI products should bear legal responsibility while 55.5 percent said that vehicle users should also shoulder the blame.‎ Smart cars with partial or fully autonomous functions are expected to account for 50 percent of new vehicles sold in China by 2020.According to the blueprint released by the National Development and Reform Commission in January, the country is aiming to become a global power in smart-car development and production by 2035.‎ ‎“One cannot ignore the risks and ethics issues brought up by artificial intelligence technology,” said Sun Shaojing, director of the Communication and Data Science Laboratory of the National Center for Cultural Innovation Research at Fudan University, “Policies should be strengthened to ensure a balanced development of ‎ ethics and science, especially for some fast-growing applications like driverless cars.”‎ ‎35. What do Sun Shaojing’s words suggest in the last paragraph?‎ A. We should mainly focus on the benefit that driverless cars bring to us.‎ B. Effective policies and rules are needed with appliances fast growing.‎ C. Risks and ethics issues brought up by AI cannot be avoided.‎ D. Driverless cars play a significant role in AI technology.‎ ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇议论文。复旦大学发布了的一份关于人们对于人工智能的态度的新报告，根据这份问卷，大部分人对与无人驾驶汽车持支持的态度，中国的目标是到2035年成为智能汽车开发和生产的全球强国。‎ ‎10.
