阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
If you want to learn why everything is usually cheaper, and what items are the best deals at your
local or chain dollar or discount store, store employees have a lot of useful information. They tend to
know what shoppers want — even before shoppers know themselves.
Everyone buys unnecessary things
Whether you shop at a chain dollar store such as Dollar Tree, Family Dollar or your local 99 cents
store, not everything that’s on sale is necessarily worth purchasing. Bryan Waring, a former Dollar
Tree employee, says that you’re not alone in buying more than necessary from these stores. “It seems
basic, but everyone falls for this trap,” he says. “You go into a store where everything is cheap, and
you walk out with things you don't need.” He suggests going into a store — yes, even the dollar store
— with a checklist of things you truly need.
Everything is cheaper after the holiday season
Patricia, a seasonal worker at a Dollar Tree, says that the post-Christmas season means even more
deals on everything from decorations to sweets. “After Christmas, all the gift wrap paper went to 50
cents, and all Christmas items were half price,” she says. “Even candy bars are 89 cents versus $ 1.”
Products are less expensive because of their size
In order for dollar stores to keep their prices low, product sizes are usually smaller than normal,
according to Cheapism. Dollar stores area t the only ones guilty of this trick. Cheapism also reports
Walmart is guilty of doing the same thing to attract customers.1. What is Bryan’s advice against buying unnecessary things?
A. Making a purchase alone.
B. Writing a to-buy list ahead.
C. Shopping at your local store.
D. Buying basic things separately.
2. Which of the following is a better time for shopping according to Patricia?
A. In the Christmas sales.
B. At a particular discount.
C. After the Christmas season.
D. During some holiday seasons.
3. How do stores make their products cheaper?
A. By reducing product sizes.
B. By lowering product costs.
C. By adopting discount strategies.
D. By attracting more customers.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A
【解析】

It was just a normal day for Ruth Miller, a 63-year-old woman until everything went horribly
wrong. She was walking to her car after shopping when the unthinkable happened.
Right as she was unlocking her car, a man quickly came up behind her and tried to wrestle her
purse away. She was in shock. Luckily she remembered she had her Safe Personal Alarm (SPA) on her
purse, and since she was too scared to scream for help, she quickly reached for the alarm and pulled the
pin (保险栓). Immediately her SPA started just screaming. The man didn't know what to do! He froze
for a second, and then ran away like a bat out of hell!
SPA is a safety device capable of creating a 125db sound that attracts attention and scares away
potential attackers. To compare, it's the same volume as a military jet during takeoff.
Paul Davidson, the inventor of SPA, knows all too well the type of situation that Ruth found
herself in. But that's not the only type of situation that SPA helps protect against. Parents can give it to
their kids as an extra means of protection. Teenagers can use it so they can feel safe walking home.
Women can know it's there when they have to use the parking lot at night. “My mother, who is 76
years old, carries it around in case she falls and needs to ask people for help. I only wish I'd have
thought of it earlier,” said Paul.
The police have been recommending SPA since it first hit the market. In fact, since its launch,
SPA has been in a state, shifting between in stock to sold out nearly every other week, and it's also got
tons of loyal followers worldwide.
4. What does the underlined part “the unthinkable” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. An attempted robbery. B. A wrestling match.
C. An angry argument. D. A car accident.
5. How did Ruth react to the unexpected situation?
A. She fought violently. B. She froze in great fear.
C. She cried desperately for help. D. She sounded her safety device.
6. Why does Paul mention his mother?
A. To imply the elderly need more care. B. To suggest he cares about his mother.C. To show SPA can be widely used. D. To make an advertisement for SPA.
7. What can be learned from the text?
A. SPA is well received in the market. B. People hesitate to pay for security.
C. SPA was sold out in the first two weeks. D. SPA is not important in life.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章以 Ruth 差点被人抢劫为例子,介绍了 SPA 这种安全装置,可以发出 125
分贝的声音,吸引注意力,吓跑潜在的攻击者。SPA 可以广泛应用,而且非常受欢迎。
【4 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据后文 Right as she was unlocking her car, a man quickly came up behind her and
tried to wrestle her purse away. She was in shock.可知,就在她打开车门的时候,一个男人迅速地
从她后面过来,试图抢走她的钱包。她震惊了。后来 Ruth 按响了警报器,男人被吓跑了。由
此可知,划线短语指的是“一次抢劫未遂”。故选A。
【5 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中 Luckily she remembered she had her Safe Personal Alarm (SPA) on
her purse, and since she was too scared to scream for help, she quickly reached for the alarm and
pulled the pin.可知,幸运 是,她记得她的钱包上有她的安全个人警报器,由于她太害怕了,
不敢大声呼救,她迅速伸手去拿警报器,拔下了保险栓。由此可知,对这个意外的情况,Ruth
按响了她的安全装置。故选 D。
【6 题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段 Parents can give it to their kids as an extra means of protection.
Teenagers can use it so they can feel safe walking home. Women can know it's there when they have to
use the parking lot at night.可知,父母可以把它给孩子作为额外的保护手段。青少年可以使用它,
这样他们在回家的路上会感到安全。女人在晚上不得不使用停车场的时候就知道它的存在。
由此可推知,Paul 提到他的母亲是为了说明 SPA 可以广泛应用。故选 C。
【7 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中 In fact, since its launch, SPA has been in a state, shifting between in
stock to sold out nearly every other week, and it’s also got tons of loyal followers worldwide.可知,事
实上,自推出以来,SPA 一直处于一种几乎每隔一周就会换一次货状态,而且它在世界各地
也有大量的忠实粉丝。由此推知,SPA 在市场上很受欢迎。故选 A。
的C
Like clockwork, nearly every fourth February includes one extra day. February 29th, otherwise
known as Leap Day, isn’t exactly a holiday. Instead, it’s there to keep your calendar consistent with
the earth’s rotation (旋转) around the sun.
According to History, com, Roman emperor Julius Caesar is the “father” of Leap Year. Until he
came along, people used a 355-day calendar, which was 10.25 days shorter than the solar year. Roman
officials were supposed add an extra month every now and then to keep the seasons exactly where they
should be. But that didn’t work out all that well. When special occasions started shifting into different
seasons around 45 BCE, Caesar consulted with astronomers and decreed (下令) that the empire should
use a 12-month, 365-day calendar, which he named after himself, Caesar’s Julian calendar included a
Leap Day every four years.
Though Leap Day keeps your calendar in line with the earth’s rotation around the sun, it causes a
different kind of problem for leapsters. When should these February 29th babies celebrate their
birthdays during the other three-quarters of their lives? Some party on February 28th, while others
prefer a two-day celebration that spans the last day of February and the first day of March.
Leap Day can be a nuisance in the legal system. In 2006, a court in Massachusetts was deciding
whether criminal John Melo could be released a day early since his 10-year sentence included a Leap
Day. In the case, the judge decided that since the man was sentenced to prison for years, not days. Leap
Day didn’t make a bit of difference.
Though a few timekeepers have pushed for calendars that don’t include Leap Day, almost all
astronomers and societies agree that Leap Day is the best method to keep the calendar on track.
8. Why was Leap Day created?
A. To celebrate special occasions. B. To honor Emperor Julius Caesar.
C. To keep pace with the solar year. D. To keep track of all the seasons.
9. What is the problem with the birthday celebration of February 29th babies?
A. It is sometimes delayed. B. It lasts at least two days.
C. It has to be held every other year. D. It may take place on different dates.
10. What does the underlined word “nuisance” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Joke. B. Topic.
C. Trouble. D. Mistake.11. what is the attitude of most astronomers towards Leap Day?
A. Critical. B. Supportive.
C. Doubtful. D. Cautious.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了 2 月 29 日,也被称为闰日,并不是一个真正的节日。相反,
设立闰日是为了与太阳年保持同步。文章说明了设立闰日的起源,以及给人们日常生活所带
来的一些影响。
【8 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中 Instead, it’s there to keep your calendar consistent with the earth’s
rotation around the sun.可知,相反,它的存在是为了让你的日历与地球围绕太阳的自转保持一
致。由此可知,设立闰日是为了与太阳年保持同步。故选 C。
【9 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中 Some party on February 28th, while others prefer a two-day celebration
that spans the last day of February and the first day of March.可知,一些人在 2 月 28 日举行聚会,
而另一些人则喜欢在 2 月的最后一天和 3 月的第一天举行为期两天的庆祝活动。由此可知,2
月 29 日婴儿的生日庆祝可能发生在不同的日期。故选 D。
【10 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据后文 In 2006, a court in Massachusetts was deciding whether criminal John Melo
could be released a day early since his 10-year sentence included a Leap Day. In the case, the judge
decided that since the man was sentenced to prison for years, not days.可知,2006 年,马萨诸塞州
的一家法院决定是否提前一天释放罪犯 John Melo,因为他的 10 年刑期包括闰日。在这起案件
中,法官判定,由于这名男子被判入狱按年计算,而不是按天。由此可知,在法律体系中,
闰日可能是个麻烦事。划线单词意思为“麻烦”。故选C。
【11 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段 Though a few timekeepers have pushed for calendars that don’t include
Leap Day, almost all astronomers and societies agree that Leap Day is the best method to keep the
calendar on track.可知,虽然有少数计时员力推不包括闰日的日历,但几乎所有的天文学家和
社会团体都认为,闰日是让日历走上正轨的最佳方法。由此可推知,大多数天文学家认为闰日很重要。故选 B。
【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一,可以大致分为
①定义猜词,可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用 refer to, be called 或 that’s to
say, such as 等。
②逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义,例如,similarly, the same as,
but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because 等,所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义
一样、相反或是前因后果。
③语法猜词,可以根据构词法,再结合上下文进行猜词。
④语境猜词,猜测词义离不开上下文的语境,通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析,
同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。
⑤指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容,做题时要注
意指代词的位置,以便于判断,然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词,核实其逻辑、意义、
位置等是否一致,最后比较所找部分与选项,确定意思最接近的选项。
如第 3 小题,根据后文 In 2006, a court in Massachusetts was deciding whether criminal John Melo
could be released a day early since his 10-year sentence included a Leap Day. In the case, the judge
decided that since the man was sentenced to prison for years, not days.可知,2006 年,马萨诸塞州
的一家法院决定是否提前一天释放罪犯 John Melo,因为他的 10 年刑期包括闰日。在这起案件
中,法官判定,由于这名男子被判入狱按年计算,而不是按天。由此可知,在法律体系中,
闰日可能是个麻烦事。划线单词意思为“麻烦”。故选C。
D
Scientists have developed a new type of smart bandage (绷带) that can signal the type of bacterial
(细菌的) infection it’s protecting, just like a traffic light, as well as release the right type of drugs on
demand. The traffic light system works just like this: Green means no bacteria or a low concentration
of bacteria, yellow means drug-sensitive (DS) bacteria responsive to standard antibiotics (抗生素) and
causes antibiotic release, and red means drug-resistant (DR) bacteria that need extra help to be wiped
out.
In testing the bandage on mice, the research team was able to successfully treat both DS and DR
infections using the new method. However, the common methods of sensing resistance are limited by
time, the requirement for professional personnel, and expensive instruments. Moreover, the abuse of
antibiotics causes the accelerated process of bacterial resistance.It’s easy to see how a simple bandage and light could overcome some of these limitations.
Treatment doesn’t have to wait for a doctor to make a diagnosis, and the bandage can get the right sort
of drugs applied at the earliest opportunity. What’s more, the person wearing the bandage gets
real-time feedback on what’s happening with the infection, if there’s an infection at all. The
researchers say it offers numerous benefits over existing treatments that make use of light, including
photodynamic therapy or PDT.
We’ve been seeing quite a few upgrades to the traditional bandage in recent years, thanks to
advances in science — like the nanofiber mesh that attracts bacteria and draws some of it out, speeding
up the healing process. Then there’s the novel bandage for treating burns, which stops bacteria from
multiplying and lowers the risk of infection.
The more work that a bandage can do while it’s protecting a wound, the better. Efforts to improve
bandages continue and now we've got a bandage that not only releases antibiotics, but also tells the
patient exactly what’s going on too.
12. What is the smart bandage mainly designed to do?
A. Avoid the use of antibiotics. B. Clear out harmful bacteria.
C. Detect bacterial infections. D. Increase treatment options.
13. What is the advantage of the smart bandage?
A. It saves much time and cost. B. It removes the risk of infection.
C. It prevents the bacterial resistance. D. It improves doctor-patient relationship.
14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Traditional bandages are out of use now.
B. More smart bandages will be developed.
C. Progress in science calls for more research.
D. People are urged to study medical science.
15. What does the text focus on?
A. A successful test on mice. B. A colour-changing bandage.
C. Sensing drug-resistant bacteria. D. Preventing abuse of antibiotics.

【分析】
这是一篇说明文。澳大利亚的森林大火在 2020 年 1 月变得更加严重,同时火灾产生的烟雾又
引发了火灾龙卷风。文章说明了这次大火对澳大利亚的破坏和影响。
【36 题详解】
考查冠词。country 为可数名词,此处特指上文 Australia,应用定冠词。故填 the。
【37 题详解】
考查动词时态。根据后文 and some smoke turned into pyro cumulonimbus clouds.可知,此处应用
一般过去时,主语与谓语动词构成主动关系。故填 sent。
【38 题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,result 在句中作非谓语动词,且与逻辑主语 clouds 构成
主动关系,故应用现在分词。故填 resulting。
【39 题详解】
考查动词时态及语态。本句主语 animals 与谓语动词构成被动关系,且描述客观事实应用一般
现在时,主语为复数名词,谓语动词应用复数。故填 are found。
【40 题详解】
考查介词。句意:要完全了解火灾对野生动物造成了多大的伤害还需要时间。结合句意表示“对
于”应用介词 to。故填 to。

考查非谓语动词。根据短语 be expected to do sth.表示“被期望做某事”,后跟不定式。故填to
continue。
【42 题详解】
考查副词。修饰动词 happen,应用副词 regularly,表示“频繁地”。故填regularly。
【43 题详解】
考查比较级。句意:然而,气候和自然变化使情况变得更糟。结合句意表示“更遭”应用比
较级形式。故填 worse。【44 题详解】
考查代词。根据短语 make it to 表示“到达”。故填it。
【45 题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:烟雾如此之多,可能会在空气中停留数月之久,这可能会对地球的气
候产生很小的影响。此处为非限定性定语从句,修饰上文整个句子,且从句中缺少主语,故
用关系代词 which。故填 which。
【点睛】定语从句中的关系词选择,可考虑以下几点:
1、看清楚先行词的意义,就是理清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点、原因。指物时不能用
who 或 whom,指人时通常不用 which 等等。
2、看清楚关系词的句法功能,就是理清关系词是担任什么句子成分,是作主语还是宾语、是
作定语还是状语等等。作定语通常用 whose,有时也用 which。作状语要用 when, where, why。
3、看清楚定语从句的种类,就是理清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句。that、why 通
常不引导非限制性定语从句。
4、看清楚文体,就是理清是正式文体,还是非正式文体。是书面语体还是口语体。
如第 10 小题,句意:烟雾如此之多,可能会在空气中停留数月之久,这可能会对地球的气候
产生很小的影响。此处为非限定性定语从句,修饰上文整个句子,且从句中缺少主语,故用
关系代词 which。故填 which。

第二节(满分 25 分)
47.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写
的词数为 150 左右。
Arthur was messy. He didn’t try to make messes, but he didn’t try to clean up much, either. There
were always small pieces of food on the table when he was done eating. His socks never made it into
the hamper (洗衣篮). And he only picked up his toys when Mom threatened to throw them away.
Most days, Mom followed Arthur around the house and cleaned up after him. She brushed the crumbs
(碎屑) into her hand and threw them away after meals. She picked up his socks and made sure they got
washed, dried and folded neatly before going back in the drawer. She often picked up his toys when he
left them to do something else.
One day, Mom asked Arthur to pick up his toy trains. “Not right now,” Arthur said. He was
reading a comic book. The trains had been on the living room floor since the morning.
“You know what, Arthur? I’m not going to ask you again. I’m done cleaning today.” And with
that. Mom put her feet up on the sofa and picked up a book to read.
At dinner time, Arthur noticed that there was a big pile of crumbs at his place at the table. Mom’s
spot was nice and clean. Arthur didn’t like the crumbs very much. After dinner, Arthur’s feet felt cold.
He went to his room and opened his drawer, but the drawer was empty. “Mom, where are my socks?”
Arthur called.
“There weren’t any socks in your hamper, so I didn’t wash them,” Mom said. Arthur felt
unhappy. Now his feet would be cold, unless he wanted to wear dirty socks from the floor. He decided
to stay barefoot.
When it was time for bed, Arthur said good night to Mom and turned to go upstairs. Arthur
stepped right on his toy train in his bare feet. “Ouch!” cried Arthur. “That really hurt !”
Paragraph 1: However Mom was still reading and said nothing.
________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“Mom?” said Arthur. “Tomorrow can you show me how to do the washing so I can wash my
socks?”
________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1
However, Mom was still reading and said nothing. Arthur wasn’t sure if she had heard him or
not so he called for help again, but still Mom didn’t come. Then Arthur realized maybe it was he that
could solve his problem at that very moment. He quietly picked up the toy train and put it in the box.
It only took a minute for him to put the toy away, and now he wouldn’t have to worry about hurting
his feet again.
Paragraph 2
“Mom?” said Arthur. “Tomorrow can you show me how to do the laundry so I can wash my
socks?” “Of course,” said Mom. “It’s nice to see you begin to learn to take care of yourself. I am
always here to do whatever I can to help you become a more independent boy.” Arthur felt better.
He didn’t want to wait until the next laundry day to have clean socks again. Maybe being neat
wasn’t so hard after all.
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇读后续写作文。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知,Arthur 是个不爱整洁的男孩,尽管妈妈说了他很多次,他也
不改正,妈妈总是跟在他后面为他整理东西,直到有一天妈妈下定决心要惩罚 Arthur,于是不
再给他整理东西了。Arthur 找不到自己的东西,没有袜子穿,脚还踩到自己乱丢的东西上弄疼了。
续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:然而,妈妈仍然在看书,什么也没说。所以后文应该是
讲述 Arthur 意识到必须自己整理自己的东西了,他悄悄地拿起玩具火车,把它放进箱子里。
他只花了一分钟就把玩具收起来了,现在他再也不用担心自己的脚受伤了。第二段开头是:“妈
妈?”Arthur 说。“明天你能教我怎么洗吗?这样我就能洗我的袜子了。”本段应该写 Arthur 决
心自己洗衣服,妈妈也很高兴他的改变,决定帮助他成为一个更独立的男孩。
最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当,使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如:call for, pick up, worry about, take
care of, after all 等高级词汇;宾语从句 Arthur wasn’t sure if she had heard him or not so he called
for help again, but still Mom didn’t come.强调句 Then Arthur realized maybe it was he that could
solve his problem at that very moment.等高级句式。
