B (2019·广州市综合测试)
When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder，she was alone on the island.The air was cool
and bullfrogs croaked(呱呱叫)．It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars
hadn't yet appeared.Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around.
“Hello？”she called.“Celia？Marie？”
There was no response.
The moon was rising now，shedding light on the island.They had always called it“Forgotten
Island”because only they seemed to remember its existence.It wasn't on any of the maps they could find，and even the forest rangers didn't know about it.Lina loved that the island，hidden in a heavily
wooded side stream of the river，was a secret among the three friends—Celia，Marie，and her.
But now Lina was here alone，and it was night.Worse still，it was her own fault.
“Come on，Lina，let Marie row the boat，”Celia had said.Marie was two years older than Lina，
but she was a hopeless rower.That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island.The argument
that followed the refusal took the usual form.Celia took Marie's side，as she always did.Lina had
exploded and yelled at them to just leave.So they got back in the boat and left.
A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky，accompanied by a deafening thunder clap.The
storm was here.As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck，Lina's mind returned to her current
problem.She was stuck here by herself.She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the
island.The thought of it sent a chill (寒意) down her back.
Suddenly，Lina spotted something in the water.It was a boat，and inside it were Celia，Marie，
and Marie's dad，who was steering through the fast flowing water.As the boat approached，they saw
Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.
In her excitement Lina jumped into the river.Only once she was in the icy water did she
remember how fast the water was moving.Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her
out.She smiled weakly at Marie's dad and，without a word，hugged Celia and Marie.They didn't seem
to mind becoming wet.
【语篇解读】 Lina 因为划船的事情与朋友 Marie 和 Celia 争吵了起来，结果自己被留在
了孤岛上，此时天色已晚，电闪雷鸣，她开始担心起来。最后，Marie 和 Celia 以及 Marie 的
父亲来接 Lina 了，她们之间的矛盾也得到了缓解。
4．What can be inferred about the island?
A．It is very near the ocean.
B．It is a popular place for boating.
C．It is surrounded by thick forest.
D．It has never been reached by others.
C [考查推理判断。根据第四段第四句中的“hidden in a heavily wooded side stream of the
river”可推知，这个岛是被茂密的森林围绕着的，故选 C。
【干扰项分析】 根据第四段第二、三句可知，这个岛似乎没有其他人来过，地图上也
找不到，故 A、B 两项表述错误，D 项表述太绝对。]
5．Why did Lina get angry?
A．Marie would not help row the boat.
B．She was left alone on the island.
C．Marie didn't know how to row the boat.
D．Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.D [考查细节理解。根据第六段第五、六句“Celia took Marie's side，as she always did.Lina
had exploded and yelled at them to just leave”可知，因为 Celia 支持 Marie，所以 Lina 非常生气。
故选 D。
【干扰项分析】 根据第六段的内容可知，是 Lina 不让 Marie 划船，并且将 Marie 和 Celia
赶走了，而不是她的朋友们舍弃了她，故 A、B 两项错误；根据第六段前三句可知，Lina 认为
Marie 是个糟糕的划船者，并不是 Marie 不会划船，故 C 项错误。]
6．What caused Lina to feel a chill?
A．Her shame about the unnecessary argument.
B．The first raindrop of the approaching storm.
C．The idea that no one would come to save her.
D．The drop in temperature as the sun went down.
C [考查细节理解。根据第七段最后两句“She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as
the island.The thought of it sent a chill(寒意) down her back”可知，她一想到自己会被别人遗忘，
她就感到后背发冷。故选 C。]
C (2019·福州市质量抽测)
A walk through the galleries of Quebec's Montreal Museum of Fine Arts(MMFA) places
individuals facetoface with some 43 ， 000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics to Inuit
sculpture.
While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience，a group of local physicians will soon be
able to prescribe(开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses.
“We know that art contributes to neural(神经的) activity，”said MMFA director Nathalie
Bondil.“What we see is that being in contact with art can really help your wellbeing.”
Hélène Boyer，vice president of a Montrealbased medical association，explains that museum
visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin，a neurotransmitter(神经递质) known as
the“happy chemical”which helps to lift the mood.
According to Boyer，the small increase in hormones associated with enjoying an afternoon of
art is similar to that offered by exercise，making museum visits prescriptions ideal for the elderly
experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity.
The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods.As Bondil notes，spending time
in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction.“What is most important is this
experience can help them escape from their own pain，”she says.“When you enter the museum，
you escape from the speed of our daily life.”
“I am convinced that in the 21st century，culture will be what physical activity was for health
in the 20th century，”said Bondil.“Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century，sports were believed to do harm to the body.Just as doctors now prescribe exercise，they will be able
to prescribe a visit to the MMFA.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。参观博物馆不仅能让人们接受艺术的熏陶，还能舒
缓心情、治疗疾病。
7．What does Hélène Boyer think of museum visits?
A．They can cheer people up.
B．They can reduce physical activity.
C．They can slow down our life pace.
D．They can increase levels of art appreciation.
A [考查细节理解。根据第四段“Hélène Boyer，vice president of a Montrealbased medical
association ， explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin ， a
neurotransmitter(神经递质) known as the‘happy chemical’which helps to lift the mood”可知，一
个总部设在蒙特利尔的医学协会的副主席 Hélène Boyer 解释说，参观博物馆被证明可以提高
血清素水平，血清素是一种被称为“快乐化学物质”的神经递质，它有助于振奋情绪；据此
可知，Hélène Boyer 认为参观博物馆可以帮助人们振作起来，故 A 项正确。]
8．How do museum visits affect people?
A．Stop them concentrating on pain.
B．Stop them focusing on traditional methods.
C．Encourage them not to be absentminded.
D．Encourage them to slow their steps while walking.
A [考查细节理解。根据第六段中的“What is most important is this experience can help them
escape from their own pain”可知，参观博物馆可以让人们逃避痛苦，故 A 项正确。]
9．What does the last paragraph suggest?
A．Physical activity was popular in the 19th century.
B．Sports are considered to be harmful to the body.
C．Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.
D．Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now.
C [考查推理判断。根据尾段最后两句“Some people would do well to recall that just in the
19th century，sports were believed to do harm to the body.Just as doctors now prescribe exercise，
they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA”可知，在 19 世纪，体育运动被认为对身体有
害；现在，就像医生给病人开运动处方一样，他们将能给病人开去蒙特利尔美术博物馆参观
的处方。据此可推知，治疗疾病的方法随着时间的变化而改变，故 C 项正确。]
10．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Museum visits are ideal for the elderly.B．The happy chemical helps to lift the mood.
C．Peaceful environment helps escape pain.
D．Cultural activities will promote health.
D [考查主旨大意。通读全文可知，文章第一段通过描述参观蒙特利尔美术博物馆引入
本文话题，接着介绍当地医生将给病人开参观博物馆的处方来治疗一些疾病，然后重点介绍
了艺术欣赏对人的健康的积极作用，故 D 项符合文意。]

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
选项。
(2019·武汉市部分学校调研测试)One of the areas of our body which conveys most about how
we feel is how we move our hands and arms. 11 ，but most often they occur unconsciously and
naturally.
12 ．Open hands and arms，especially extended，and with hands up in front of the body at
chest height，indicates that what you're saying is important，and，especially when people are speaking
in public，a pointing finger or a hand waving above the shoulders stresses a personal point.However，
research shows that people often find speakers who point their fingers a lot rather annoying.
Openness or honesty. 13 ，they will often hold one or both of their hands out to the other
person.Footballers who have just committed a foul(犯规) often use this gesture to try to convince the
refree that they didn't do it.
Nervousness.If a person puts his hand to his mouth ， this either indicates that he is hiding
something，or that he is nervous. 14 ，and so does holding a bag or briefcase very tightly in front
of the body.
Feeling defensive.Arms folded tightly over the chest is a classic gesture of defensiveness and
indicates that you are protecting yourself.It is often seen among strangers in queues or in lifts or
anywhere where people feel a bit insecure.People also sometimes use this gesture when they are
listening to someone，to show that they disagree with what is being said. 15 ！
A．Saying something important
B．When people want to be open or honest
C．Hand and arm gestures are sometimes intentional
D．But this gesture can simply mean that the person is cold
E．Playing with your fingers，like tapping the table，also shows anxiety
F．This gesture is typical of lawyers，accountants，and other professionals
G．When someone puts up his both hands，he probably gives in to his enemies
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了肢体语言的各种含义，比如说明你在讲
重要的事；表示开放和诚实的心态；表示紧张和防御心理等。11．C [根据该句中的“but”可知，空处与下文“手和手臂大部分时候会自然、无意识地
移动”形成转折关系，C 项中的“intentional”与该句中的“unconsciously and naturally”相对，故 C
项正确。]
12．A [根据文章结构以及空处所在的位置可知，空处为该段的主题；结合本段内容尤
其是下文中的“indicates that what you're saying is important”“stresses a personal point”可知，该段
主要陈述“肢体语言有时表示某事物的重要性”，故 A 项正确。]
13．B [根据空前的“Openness or honesty”可知，该段主要陈述肢体语言表明的第二种含
义：表示开放或诚实(的心态)，结合选项中对应的“to be open or honest”可知，B 项正确。]
14．E [根据该段主题句“Nervousness”可知，该段主要陈述肢体语言表明的第三种含义：
紧张。结合本段内容和下文中的“and so does holding a bag or briefcase very tightly in front of the
body”可知，空处应是陈述另一种表示紧张的肢体语言形式，故 E 项正确。]
15 ． D [ 根 据 该 段 第 二 句 “Arms folded tightly over the chest is a classic gesture of
defensiveness and indicates that you are protecting yourself”可知，双臂紧紧地交叉在胸前是一种
典型的防御姿势，表明你在保护自己。再结合常识可知，双臂紧紧地交叉在胸前仅仅说明你
很寒冷，故 D 项正确。]

第二节 读后续写(满分 25 分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
In a meeting room，I faced the judges seated behind a table holding my fate in their hands.These
same judges had rejected me twice before.This was my last chance.Would it finally be my turn?
“Tell us，Jason，”one judge said，“why do you want to be Pistol Pete？”That summer I
watched a cowboy football game.I was attracted by Pistol Pete.He was larger than our body.He
could get everyone in the entire stadium on their feet shouting“Come on！”and make sure they
had fun.Being the mascot(吉祥物) fit my personality.I loved getting attention—and a laugh.I didn't
have the leg or the speed to play football.But no one could top me when it came to school spirit.
I entered a national high school mascot competition and finished twelfth.When tryouts(选拔) for Pistol Pete were announced during my first year at university，my academic adviser encouraged
me to work hard at the mascot training．Then came the interview with the judges.The main question
was，“Why do you want to be Pistol Pete？”
“Because I've been training for this all my life，”I told the judges.
The judges gathered the candidates to announce their decision.They'd selected two students.I
could only watch as those two students jumped into the air.
I talked about my dream to my coworkers at my parttime job，and they were behind me 100
percent.When tryouts came the following spring，I was more than ready.Then I stepped before the
judges again.
“You know me from last year，”I said.“You know how badly I want this.And you know how
good I'd be.”I thought it was a done deal that I'd spend my senior year being Pistol Pete，living my
dream.
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；
2．至少使用 5 个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1：
The judges didn't call my name.
Paragraph 2：
I added my name to the list one last time，
【参考范文】
The judges didn't call my name.This was supposed to be my turn！I left feeling cheated and
defeated，lower than I'd ever felt in my life.I talked with my academic adviser．“If the pull of being Pistol Pete is still so strong ，”he said ，“maybe you are meant to try again.But you have to be
prepared to accept the judges' decision，no matter what it is.”
I added my name to the list one last time，went through mascot training again.All that was left
was the interview．For a moment，I was puzzled.Then it occured to me that the judges didn't want to
hear about my accomplishments and experience.They wanted to hear from my heart.I took a deep
breath and spoke from the heart.“Pistol Pete has attracted me since it has been my dream when I
was eight years old.”Later that day，one of the judges announced，“The Pistol Pete for this year are
Steven and Jason．”
