天津名校高考模拟金典卷·英语卷（四）‎ 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：单项填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ 从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎1.Unfortunately，_____ stone hit him on ______ head and he got injured.‎ A. the；a B. a；/‎ C. a；the D. the；the ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查冠词。句意：不幸的是，一块石头击中了他的头，他受伤了。a用在单数可数名词stone前表一个，hit sb on the +身体硬的部位。故选C。‎ ‎2. The activities organized by our school really gave us a platform ____ we learned team spirit.‎ A. that B. where C. which D. when ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查定语从句。句意：这些由学校组织活动真的给我们提供了一个学习团队精神的平台。句中先行词platform在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where。故选B。‎ ‎3.The old woman who ________ in the deserted house alone for ten years has been settled in a nursing home now.‎ A. lived B. has lived C. had lived D. has been living ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查时态。句意： 一个人住在废弃的房子里达十年之久的那位老妇人现在在养老院定居。因为住在废弃的房子里发生在过去，与现在无关，应该用一般过去时。故选A。B. 现在完成时，表示现在还一个人，与语境不符； C. had lived过去完成时，是过去的过去，没有对比的时间；D. has been living 现在完成进行时，强调动作一直在进行，一直到现在，不合语境。故选A。‎ ‎4.________ to Anne’s birthday party，Mr Brown is now searching shop after shop for a nice present for her.‎ A. Having invited B. Having been invited C. Have been invited D. Being invited ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：布朗先生被邀请参加安妮的生日聚会，现在正在一家又一家商店为她挑选一件漂亮的礼物。invite和Mr. Brown有逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用被动式；invite所表示的动作发生在主句谓语动词之前，所以用分词的完成时。故选B。‎ ‎5.（2016·浙江）It is important to pay your electricity bill on time , as late payments may affect your ______.‎ A condition B. income C. credit D. status ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查名词。句意：准时付电费很重要，因为付晚了会影响你的信用。condition条件；income收入；credit学分，信用（卡）；status地位。根据It is important to pay your electricity bill on time 可知，付晚了会影响你的信用。故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】名词最常考的命题形式是名词词义辨析，对于同义词辨析，我们平时一定要注意积累。由做题经验可知，同义词辨析大多是在具体语境中，由关键固定短语来判断的。真正的词义辨析题很少。常考的辨析名词词义的有: custom风俗习惯，habit个人习惯，tradition传统；scene场景，scenery自然风景（总称），view特定位置的景观，sight人文或历史景观；skill技能，ability能力；talent才华，strength优势，长处，等等。本题中的credit属于一词多义，单选题中有时也会考查熟词生义。‎ ‎6.How could they reach an agreement？Some said one thing，but others ________.‎ A. other B. another C. the other D. others ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查代词辨析。句意：他们怎么能达成一致意见呢？一些人说的是一件事，但其他人说的是另一件事。one thing与another对应。故B选项正确。‎ ‎7.How long do you think _ the computer company brings out a new product?‎ A. it will be before B. will it be until C. will it be when D. it will be that ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查连词。句意：你认为还需要多长时间电脑公司才能生产出这种新的产品。这里do you think是插入语，这里是固定句式it will be + some time +before+从句。意为：还要过多久才能……,，这里是对时间段进行提问，所以用疑问词how long ，因为疑问词后有插入语，当插入语用了疑问语序，它后面的成分就用陈述语序，故选A。‎ ‎8.________ I say Clancy is a smart boy, he still needs to work hard to achieve his goal.‎ A. If B. When C. As D. While ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查连接词辨析。句意：虽然我说Clancy是一个聪明的孩子，但他仍然需要努力工作来实现他的目标。A. If如果；B. When当……时候；C. As因为；D. While虽然，在……期间。本句为while引导的让步状语从句，表示“虽然”。故选D。‎ ‎【点睛】while 用作连词时，有以下几种含义:‎ ‎1. 意为“当……时候”，引导时间状语从句。‎ ‎2. 意为“虽然，尽管”，引导让步状语从句。‎ ‎3. 连接两个并列句子，表示“对比”关系。‎ 二、 while 引导状语从句时，应注意以下几点：‎ ‎1. while引导的时间状语从句既可放在句首，也可放在句末：而 while 引导的让步状语从句一般放在句首，不放在句末。另外，也可以从意义上加以区分。‎ ‎2. while引导让步状语从句时，如果从句的主语和主句的主语相同，那么从句的主语和谓语动词 be 都可以省略。‎ ‎3. while 和 when 都可以引导时间状语从句，但应注意：while ‎ 引导的时间状语从句中的谓语动词必须是延续性的动词；而 when 引导的时间状语从句中的谓语动词既可以是延续性动词，也可以是非延续性动词。当时间状语从句中的谓语动词是延续性动词时， while和when 可以互相替换。‎ ‎4. while 引导的状语从句还可以表示“某个动作正在进行的同时，另一个动作也在进行之中”。‎ ‎9.The new buyer identified a dozen new sources for the material, ________ proved to be reliable.‎ A. most of them B. most of which C. most whom D. most of those ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查定语从句。句意：新买主为这种材料找到了十几个新的来源，其中大多数被证明是可靠的。本句为“介词+关系代词”结构的非限定性定语从句修饰先行词the material，且先行词做介词of的宾语，指物故应用关系代词which。故选B。‎ ‎10. --Monitor?‎ ‎ --- I’m not monitor of our class.

One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed that this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her driving, so I sent her to the store in my ‎ truck. At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it, but I said: “Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won't last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won't last.” After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted: “Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck.”‎ The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van. In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes(刹车) and the gas pedal (油门). Holly was unhurt physically but when we reached her, she was crying and saying: “Oh, Dad, I'm sorry. I know how much you love this truck.” I held her in my arms as she cried.‎ Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. Her eyes were wet and she said: “That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad’s car and ran into a tree that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home, my Dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.”‎ Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of the night. I remember how sad Holly was on the night she crashed our truck, and how I comforted her. One day, when Holly thinks back on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thousand times more than any piece of property.‎ ‎36. What caused the crash?‎ A. The brakes weren't working.‎ B.

The author made it clear that he loved his daughter more than his truck.‎ ‎39. What does the underlined sentence imply?‎ A. The friend was seriously wounded B. The wound recovered after 40 years.‎ C. The friend was deeply hurt by her father.‎ D. Parents shouldn’t beat their children.‎ ‎40.

The usual answer these days is “never” or “hardly ever”. As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.‎ Stress is a natural part of everyday life. There is no way to avoid it, since it takes many and varied forms-driving in traffic, problems with personal relationships are all different forms of stress. Stress, in fact, is not the “baddy” it is often reputed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.‎ The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first sight of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between “fight” and “fright” and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life and death. The crisis we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. All the energy is shifted to cope with the stress. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress.‎ Stress in some people produces stomach disorders, while others experience tension headaches. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives, we need to find ways to cope with it.‎ ‎41. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because they are ________.‎ A. often too busy to find the time B. working harder than they used to C. suffering from the effects of stress D. not clear of how to relax by themselves ‎42. What is implied but not stated in the passage?‎ A. The art of relaxation can greatly help people bear stress.‎ B. People in primitive days know certain ways to deal with stress.‎ C. Stress can lead to serious health problem if one is exposed to it for too long.‎ D. If one gets into the habit of relaxing every day he can overcome stress easily.‎ ‎43. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 suggests that stress ________.‎ A. is not always a bad thing for people B. is always harmful to people all the time C. has a bad reputation of causing ill health D. never makes people feel bad ‎44. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. Large amounts of stress is important to people’s life.‎ B. Different people can stand different amounts of stress.‎ C. All the stress can lead to poor performance.‎ D. Relaxation in life only benefits us mentally.‎ ‎45. What is the writer’s attitude to stress according to the passage?‎ A. Stress should not be rid completely from the life.‎ B. People usually work better under stress if they are healthy.‎ C. Stress produces both positive and negative effects on people.‎ D. Stress as well as relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.‎ ‎【答案】41. A 42. D 43. A 44. B 45. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章讲的是压力。压力是我们生活的一部分，我们不可能完全摆脱压力。适当的压力对人们的健康有益，只有当压力达到极限时，才会导致身体的不适，甚至带来疾病。我们应该养成锻炼身体的习惯，在工作之余学会放松。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down.可知，一旦你养成了匆忙生活的习惯，从早到晚都在忙碌，就很难放慢脚步。由此可知，人们找到越来越少的时间来放松自己，因为他们经常太忙而找不到时间。故选A。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段可知，一旦养成一天到晩忙碌的习惯，就会很难放缓下来，压力也会随之而来。相反，养成放松的习惯，压力就会得到缓解。由此可推知，如果一个人养成了每天放松的习惯，他就能很容易地克服压力。故选D。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据后文A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life.可知一定的压力对于提供动力和赋予生活目标是至关重要的。由此可知，第二段划线的句子表明，压力对人来说并不总是坏事。故选A。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual.可知一个人能承受的压力在很大程度上取决于个人。由此可知，一个人能承受的压力的量是因人而异的。故选B。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段中A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.可知一定的压力对于提供动力和赋予生活目标是至关重要的。只有当压力失去控制时，才会导致糟糕的表现和健康问题。由此可推知，作者认为压力对人们产生了积极和消极的影响。故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】态度、观点及感受类推理判断题。高考阅读理解题中有些题目考查考生对文章作者的思想、人物性格倾向等方面的理解。对于判断情感态度类题目，考生需要分析段落大意、作者的思路，理解了文章的段落大意、中心思想后，才能判断出作者的情感态度。学会辨别清楚文章的体裁。‎ 如第五小题，根据第二段中A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.可知一定的压力对于提供动力和赋予生活目标是至关重要的。只有当压力失去控制时，才会导致糟糕的表现和健康问题。由此可推知，作者认为压力对人们产生了积极和消极的影响。故选C。‎ C CUYAHOGA COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY Bay Village Branch, 502 Cahoon Road, 440-871-6392.‎ The Egyptian Pyramids, 7 pm Sept. 17.
