10.which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处在此引导非限制性定语从句,且在从句中作主语,指代先行词plasticwaste,故用关系代词which。Ⅱ.根据提示补全句子1.一个月没下雨了,庄稼很难生长。(现在分词短语作结果状语)Ithasn'trainedforamonth,making_the_crops_hard_to_grow.2.老师鼓励学生们在课堂上积极地发表自己的看法,即使看法与他的不同。(eventhough)Theteacherinspireshisstudentstogivetheiropinionsactivelyeven_though_they_are_different_from_his_own.3.正是那里美丽的景色吸引了全世界的游客。It_is_the_beautiful_scenery_there_thatattractsthetouristsfromallovertheworld.4.总而言之,如果他那天有空的话,他就会陪你去看展览了。(accompany)Allinall,ifhehadbeenavailablethatday,hewould_have_accompanied_you_to_the_exhibition.5.听说你安然无恙地回来了,我们就都放心了。(it作形式主语)It's_a_relief_for_us_to_hear_thatyoucamebacksafeandsound.B组·能力提升Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·山东济南5月模拟)Knownforitscomplicated,seeminglywavelikesandstonewallsandtheraysofsunlightthatshineintothem,Arizona'sAntelopeCanyon(羚羊峡谷)isaneverlastingattractionfortourists.It'saslot(狭缝)canyon,meaningitformedfromwatercarvingitoutovermillionsofyears.Itsitsabout3,700feetabovesealevelandtakesitsnamefromtheantelopethatoncelivedinit.ThecanyonformspartofLakePowellNavajoTribalParkintheNavajoNation.TheNavajoNationlimitsvisitstoeithertheUpperorLowerAntelopeCanyontotwohoursandrequiresallvisitorstobeledbyauthorisedguides.Ifyou'replanningatripandneedhelpwithdecidingwhichareatovisit,keeptheserecommendationsinmind.·When:Toursareavailabletwiceadayduringtheweekyearround,thoughexacttimesvarybyseason;toursarenotavailableonweekendsormajorholidays.·Cost:Tourcompanies'feesvary,buttickets,includingentrancetothepark,generallystartataround$60for90minutetoursofUpperAntelopeCanyon.ToursofLowerAntelopeCanyontendtobearoundanhourandgenerallycostaround$40peradultand$20forchildren.·Mustknowtip:MostofArizonadoesnotfollowdaylightsavingtime(夏令时),thoughtheNavajoNation,whereAntelopeCanyonislocated,does.Checkwithyourtouroperatortoconfirmtheprecisetimeofyourtour.AntelopeCanyonreceivestonsofvisitorsand,inordertoprotectthecanyonwallsfromdamage,nobagsofanykindarepermittedineithertheUpperorLowersection.Alsokeepinmind

休斯为她在苏塞克斯大学最后一年的项目创作了一种叫作MarinaTex的材料,故选A。5.B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Butunlikeplastic,MarinaTexbreaksdowninfourtosixweeksundernormalconditionsanddoesnotpollutethesoil.”可知,与塑料不同的是,MarinaTex在正常情况下会在4到6周内分解,不会污染土壤,由此可知,MarinaTex是环保的,故选B。6.C 细节理解题。根据第七段中的“Examiningfishpartsleftoverfromprocessinghelpedtogivehertheideaforamaterialthatwasusefulanddidnotharmtheenvironment.”可知检查渔业废料让露西·休斯产生了发明MarinaTex的想法,故选C。7.D 文章出处题。通读全文,特别是根据第一段中的“A23yearoldBritishwomanhasinventedaproductthatshehopeswillonedaytaketheplaceofsingleuseplastic.”可知,本文主要介绍了一位23岁的英国女士发明了一种有望取代一次性塑料的环保产品,这属于技术范畴,因此文章最有可能出现在报纸的技术版块,故选D。Ⅱ.读后续写(2020·山东潍坊模拟)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。“Mommy,don'tgo,”mythreeyearoldsonscreamedasIwalkedtothedoor.Myfifteenyearoldleanedagainstthekitchencounterwithhisarmsfoldedacrosshischest,notscreaming,butglaringatmeasIpulledhislittlebrotheroffmylegs.“Areyoumadatmetoo?”“Youspendallyourtimetakingcareofotherpeople'skids,butwhataboutus?”Dylanleftangrily.Iwasshockedandalittlehurt.HowcouldmyownchildnotunderstandthattheworkIwasdoingwassavinglives?Thentheanswerhitme.Hedidn'tknow,becausehehadneverseenwhatHealingtheChildrenactuallydid.Dylanhadheardthestoriesofsickchildren,buthadneveroncelookedintotheeyesofachildandunderstoodthehardtruth—thatwithoutourhelp,thechildrenwouldlikelydie.“Getdressed.Youaregoingwithme,”Isaid.IspentthedriveexplainingthecaseofHectortomyson,whopretendedtoignoremetheentiretime.“He'sseven,onlyweighsthirtypoundsandisverysick.HehasaheartconditioncalledTetralogyofFallot,whichcouldkillhim.Itisamiracle(奇迹)thatheisstillalive.”IwentontoexplainthatittookateamofvolunteermedicalstafftogetHectortothehospitalfromhisremotevillageandcareforhimwhilehewasthere.Still,Dylanseemedunimpressed.Westoppedataconveniencestoreforwaterandsnacks.DylanhadonelargeandonesmallSlurpee(思乐冰饮料).HesaidthesmallonewasforHector.Idoubtedwhetherthelittleguywouldbeabletodrinkit,butremainedsilent.ThiswasthefirstinterestDylanhadshowninbeinghere.Iwasn'tabouttoruinit.
