2019译林牛津版高考英语一轮训练选:模块6U4含答案
一、阅读理解。
Beijing’s Forbidden City is a place full of wonder. From its thousands of rooms to its many beautiful artifacts, there’s no wonder it’s one of China’s most popular tourist destinations.
But even more than 600 years after it was built, it’s still managing to serve up surprises. Since it was built during the Ming Dynasty, it’s estimated that the Forbidden City has survived more than 200 earthquakes. And while most structures aren’t made to survive natural disasters, let alone ones built hundreds of years ago, it seems that the Forbidden City was built to withstand anything.
A recent television documentary by UK broadcaster Channel 4 explored the skills of the ancient building’s designers. A group of Chinese carpenters and engineers were shown building a scale model (成比例模型) of one of the Forbidden City’s palaces, at one fifth of the size.
To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is, the model was put to the test. It was subjected to a simulated (模拟的) earthquake of 9.5 on the Richter scale – equivalent to the largest ever recorded quake – and survived. Instead of falling apart, the model was just moved gently during the test.
According to experts, the answer to the Forbidden City’s strength, as well as other ancient Chinese structures’, lies in dougong– a centuries-old building method invented in China. This is the name for special brackets on buildings. Despite being held together without any nails or glue, the brackets are perfect at keeping structures together when the weather gets rough.
“Dougong design is an important earthquake-resistant feature of classical Chinese structures because the framework changes in shape when under pressure, much like the shock absorbers (减震器) of a car,” according to Chinese National Geography.
“Ancient Chinese craftsmen created structures that were both enduring and aesthetically (在美学方面) pleasing using dougong, revealing their advanced understanding of mathematics, architecture, materials, and structural science.”

16.—I didn’t see you at the concert last week. What a pity!

A. take up B. had taken up C. took up D. had been taking up
【答案】C
【解析】句意:我本可以在上周末就完成反思整理工作的,但数学课和练习占据了我所有的业余时间。从句为含蓄条件句,but 构成并列句,以真实的情况表示隐含的虚拟条件。
18.Without the leadership of our Party and our Government, we _______ these splendid results.
A. haven’t achieved B. wouldn’t have achieved
C. shouldn’t achieve D. would not achieve

19.—What happened to the young trees we planted last week?

F.It's easier to get motivated but harder to remain concentrated.

【解题导语】本文主要介绍了应对考试季压力的方法。
【难句分析】However,the one mistake we all make is where we sit down,plant our heads into our books and remain in the same position until the sun goes down.
分析:本句是一个复合句。we all make是定语从句,关系词在从句中作宾语而省略,修饰先行词mistake; where引导表语从句,在从句中作地点状语;until引导时间状语从句。
译文:然而,我们都犯的一个错误是,我们坐下来,埋头读书,并且保持同一个姿势直到太阳落山。
1.A 该空承接上文中的“The exam period is always a stressful time and it does not do justice to our mindset(思维模式)and our physical body”并根据语境可推知,因为考试季的压力,我们在各个方面都深受其苦,所以选A项。
2.D 根据上文中的“This will make it a lot less difficult to achieve glorious high marks”可推知,此处表示复习时间表的好处,并要起到承上启下的作用,D项“它也能够引导你朝正确的方向做出努力”符合语境,所以选D项。
3.G 根据上文中的“Besides, you also enjoy the satisfaction you get as a result of completing the most impossible timetable”可推知,要想完成最不可能完成的时间表上的任务,严格的期限和时间管理技巧是非常有必要的,所以选G项。
4.F 根据下文中的“So it is fundamental that you choose to study in a quiet place,making sure that any disturbance is out of
sight”可推知,获得动力很容易,但保持注意力集中却很难,因此避免干扰,选择一个安静的环境是很关键的,所以选F项。
5.E 根据下文中的“These breaks help to absorb what you have learnt and help avoid information overload”可推知,注意力集中的时间是有一定限度的,因此可以中间稍事休息一下,所以选E项。
