德阳市2019高考英语二轮短文类训练（20） 及答案或解析 ‎ During the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, the London District of South-wark was prosperous (繁荣的), and a very important and farreaching development was happening at Bankside, an area situated just beside the church now known as Southwark Cathedral. The Rose Theatre, the Swan, the Hope Playhouse and Bear‎ ‎Garden were set up here along with the famous Globe Theatre, in which Shakespeare acted. William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright whose body of works is considered the greatest in English litera ture. He is commemorated (纪念) in Southwark Cathedral today by the modern memorial window in the south aisle (通道). The window was designed by Christopher Webb in 1954, after an earlier window had been destroyed in the war. Below it is a figure of Shakespeare, carved by Henry McCarthy in 1912, set against a background of seventeenth-century Southwark in relief (浮雕), showing the Globe Theatre, Winchester Palace and the Tower of St. Saviour's Church. This memorial was provid- ed by public support and was dedicated (奉献) in 1911, and every year a birthday service, attended by many great actors and actresses, is held here in honour of Shakespeare's genius. Shakespeare's brother Edmund was buried here in 1607, and, although the position of Edmund's grave is unknown, he is commemorated by an inscribed (刻写的) stone. ‎ ‎1.

A．best　　　　　　　　　 B．worst C．hardest D．easiest 解析：选A。no matter how引导的是让步状语从句，后面应该是和前面相反的意思，所以选the best。‎ ‎2．A.look B．arrange C．turn D．settle 解析：选B。arrange“安排”。根据后文我们知道小女孩的父母已经安排好了，所以选arrange。‎ ‎3．A.pleasing B．sorry C．worried D．delighted 解析：选D。自己弹得不好，现在有高人指点，小女孩肯定高兴了，所以选delighted。‎ ‎4．A.violin B．bench C．room D．piano 解析：选D。根据后文的“the piano”可以得出答案。‎ ‎5．A.walked B．went C．rushed D．moved[来源:Zxxk.Com]‎ 解析：选C。小女孩见到好钢琴，急切地去弹，所以用rushed。其他词均不能表达小女孩的急切心情。‎ ‎6．A.ashamed B．frightened C．pleased D．excited 解析：选A。小女孩的父母知道自己孩子的钢琴水平，极力要阻止她弹，怕她被笑话，所以当时很尴尬，因此选ashamed。‎ ‎7．A.through B．over C．across D．throughout 解析：选C。across the room到房间另一头，因为小女孩是rushed over to the piano，她的父母还在另一头，所以选across。‎ ‎8．A.left B．entered C．cleaned D．locked 解析：选B。他们是由仆人领进来的，在小女孩弹钢琴时，音乐家进来了，所以选entered。‎ ‎9．A.told B．encouraged C．advised D．forbade 解析：选B。根据后面“Yet the musician encouraged her to keep on playing”可知，音乐家鼓励小女孩弹钢琴，所以选encouraged。‎ ‎10．A.book B．cup C．step D．seat 解析：选D。take a seat意为“坐下”，根据后面的on the piano bench可以得出钢琴家在小女孩旁边坐了下来，所以选seat。‎ ‎11．A.along with B．instead of C．in front of D．behind 解析：选A。along with意思是相当于with，意为“同……一起”。‎ ‎12．A.stopped B．improved C．continued D．repeated 解析：选C。因为他们一起弹奏，所以小女孩应该是继续弹，因此选continued。‎ ‎13．A.daughter B．eyes C．pianist D．ears 解析：选D。根据后文“They were hearing a beautiful piece of music...”，可知小女孩的父母简直不敢相信他们的耳朵，说明小女孩弹得太好了。‎ ‎14．A.amazingly B．sadly C．happily D．disappointingly 解析：选A。小女孩仍然弹奏原来的那首曲子“Chopsticks”，但是曲子听起来很优美，这很令人吃惊，所以选amazingly。‎ ‎15．A.yet B．still C．also D．already 解析：选B。still仍然，根据“all she could play was‘Chopsticks’”可以得出正确答案。‎ ‎16．A.somebody B．nobody C．anybody D．everybody 解析：选B。根据后面的句子“you will never accomplish great things”可以看出你什么都做不好。nobody意为“小人物，无足轻重的人”。‎ ‎17. A．think of B．regard C．watch D．look at 解析：选A。作者写这篇文章是为了让读者从小女孩的故事中得到教育。‎ ‎18．A.tiring B．pleasant C．annoying D．surprising 解析：选C。根据文章的描述，小女孩的钢琴弹得很糟糕，所以选annoying。tiring意为“令人劳累的”。‎ ‎19．A.abilities B．advantages C．talents D．goods 解析：选C。根据后面的句子“our gifts and talents may seem like‘Chopsticks’”可以得出答案。‎ ‎20．A.piece B．music C．table D．bench 解析：选D。从上文可知钢琴家“took a seat on the piano bench next to the little girl”，所以这里要选bench。‎ ‎****************************************************************结束 Honeybees Honeybees can do three kinds of jobs. ‎ The honeybee is one of the most unusual insects in the world. Bees are special because they divide up their work. Each bee has a certain job to do. ‎ The busiest bee is the worker. Workers build the nest, called a hive. Inside the hive, workers make a honeycomb from wax(蜂蜡). They store honey there for food. Workers are always cleaning and fixing the hive. They even stand at the opening and fan their wings to cool the hive. Worker bees will attack anything—even people—to keep their hive safe. ‎ Another kind of bee is the drone(雄蜂). Drones are male bees, and their job is to fly with the queen bee and mate with her. After the queen mates, the worker bees drive the drones away. The drones then starve to death. ‎ The third kind of bee is the queen. Each hive needs only one queen, and her job is laying eggs. She can lay as many as 2, 000 eggs a day. ‎ ‎1. The bee’s nest is called a _______. ‎ A. drone B. honeycomb C. hive D. wax ‎ ‎2. Wax is used to make the _______. ‎ A. nest B. honeycomb C. fan D. hive ‎ ‎3. Which jobs do workers do?‎ A. They lay 2, 000 eggs each day and build a nest. ‎ B. They mate with the queen bee and then starve. ‎ C. They clean the hive and keep it cool. ‎ D. They attack the queen bee. ‎ ‎4. According to the story, bees _______. ‎ A. are very dangerous insects ‎ B. will attack anything or anyone to protect the hive, if necessary ‎ C. are like any other insect that flies ‎ D. eat each other as food ‎ ‎5. The drone is driven away when its job is finished, because _______. ‎ A. it attacked the workers ‎ B. it is no longer needed in the hive ‎ C. the queen bee has died ‎ D. it ate the queen bee ‎ ‎【答案与解析】本文介绍了蜜蜂社会的分工及生活情况。‎ ‎1. C。细节题。根据句子Workers build the nest, called a hive可推知此题答案为C。‎ ‎2. B。细节题。根据句子Inside the hive, workers make a honeycomb from wax可推知此题答案为B。‎ ‎3. C。细节题。根据第3段第3句和第4两句工蜂总是打扫蜂房，用翅膀扇凉蜂房可推知此题答案为C。[来源:1ZXXK]‎ ‎4. B。细节题。根据文章第3段最后一句：工蜂为了保护蜂房的安全会对包括人类在内的任何东西进行攻击。由此可推知此题答案为B。‎ ‎5. B。推断题。根据文章第4段所说雄蜂的工作就是跟蜂后交配，任务完成后，它已无存在的必要，于是，就被工蜂赶走饿死。由此可推知此题答案为B。‎ ‎********************************************************结束 Passage ****‎ On a warm Monday, Jenny Neilson bought a sandwich and parked her car under some trees.Rolling down the windows to ‎41 in fresh air, she settled back to enjoy her lunch.Suddenly she ‎42 a big bald（秃顶的）man running through the parking lot.Before she came to 43 what would happen, the man was there, shouting through her window, “Get out!”‎ ‎ Neilson 44 .[来源:Z,xx,k.Com]‎ Pulling open her door, the man seized her 45 the neck and hair, and threw her out of the car onto the ground.She screamed, 46 her purse and the keys.‎ Two reporters of the local newspaper, Robert Bruce and Jeff Jackson, just outside their office building on a 47 , heard the screams and began running.‎ When they 48 Neilson’s car, the attacker had jumped into the driver’s seat and was ‎ 49 searching for the keys.Bruce opened the door, and he and Jackson dragged the man out.The attacker 50 back.But even in his cornered panic, he was no 51 for the two athletic men.‎ Reggie Miller, a worker of the local newspaper, heard the screams, too.He rushed back to the office to 52 the police, and then ran back with some plastic ropes—used to tie up newspapers.‎ With his arms 53 tightly behind him, the prisoner looked up and said 54 , “I hope you guys feel good about yourselves— you just caught one of the most wanted men.” They 55 him and waited for the police.‎ Later, Bruce and Jackson were shocked to learn the man was the 56 carjacker (劫车者）and suspected murderer, whose 57 — but with a full head of hair—had been recently printed on their own newspaper.‎ Neilson considers herself lucky 58 she suffered injuries.She believes the story might have had a 59 ending if those good people had not come to her aid.“Unfortunately,” she says, “many people would 60 have done what they did, and that is the real truth.”‎ ‎41.A.bring B.let C.gather D.send ‎42.A.recognized B.watched C.noticed D.met ‎43.A.realize B.understand C.imagine D.conclude ‎44.A.escaped B.struggled C.refused D.obeyed ‎45.A.by B.around C.with D.on ‎46.A.burying B.forgetting C.offering D.grabbing ‎47.A.trip B.visit C.break D.holiday ‎48.A.started B.stopped C.entered D.reached ‎ ‎49.A.carefully B.madly C.disappointedly D.patiently ‎50.A.fought B.turned C.jumped D.shouted ‎51.A.match B.target C.equal D.companion ‎52.A.remind B.phone C.invite D.beg ‎53.A.rolled B.folded C.bent D.tied ‎54.A.angrily B.kindly C.coldly D.warmly ‎55.A.caught B.thanked C.comforted D.ignored ‎ ‎56.A.ordinary B.professional C.honest D.outstanding ‎ ‎57.A.picture B.background C.character D.story ‎58.A.and B.but C.though D.when ‎ ‎59.A.ridiculous B.similar C.strange D.different ‎60.A.sometimes B.never C.often D.forever 参考答案 ‎ ‎ 41．B 42．C 43．A 44．C 45．A ‎ ‎46．D 47．C 48．D 49．B 50．A ‎51．A 52．B 53．D 54．C 55．D ‎ ‎56．B 57．A 58．C 59．D 60．B ‎************************************************************结束 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）‎ 阅读下面短文从短文后所给各题的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Have you ever tried to draw a straight line, only to find it turns out all wrong?
