41.(10分)After a terrible electrical accident,which caused him to become both blind and deaf,the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years.The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such
sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life.His family,especially his wife,did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.
One hot summer afternoon,he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once.He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet,but he was struck by the lightning.Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree.He was trembling badly,but when he opened his eyes,he could hardly believe what he saw:a plough and a wall.When Mrs Edwards came running up to him,shouting to their neighbors to call for help,he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.
The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread,and many doctors came to examine him.Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning.However,none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened.The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that,since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock,perhaps,the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.
41.The reason for Robert's attempts to kill himself was that .
A.he had to live in a dark and silent world
B.a terrible traffic accident happened to him
C.he was struck by the lightning once more
D.nobody in the world cared about him
42.What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?
A.Taking a walk with a stick.
B.Driving a car.
C.Sheltering from the rain under a tree.
D.Lying on the ground.
43.What did Robert see first when he regained his sight after the shock?
A.A plough and a wall.
B.His neighbors.
C.His wife who called for help to save him.
D.Many doctors surrounding him.
44.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Robert had been deaf and blind for nearly ten years.
B.Robert hid himself under the tree for 20 minutes.
C.Robert could hear his wife's shouting for help when he woke up.
D.The family's love helped Robert regain confidence to live.
45.We can infer from the text that .
A.many doctors came because Robert was badly injured
B.a sudden injury in the head led to Robert's recovery
C.Robert's wife sent for doctors immediately after the shock
D.there was no accurate explanation for Robert's recovery.
46.(10分)The temperature is sharply rising with each passing day.People,including many experts,find it difficult to slow down the process.However,leaving coal and major fossil fuels in the ground could help to limit climate change in the future,according to a new study.That is to say,a third of oil reserves on the earth,half of gas reserves and over 80 percent of current coal reserves should not be used before the year 2050.If we are to prevent global temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius in the near future,we ought to carry some measures to severely control the emissions from factories vehicles and even our daily﹣life cooking.However,it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes.
"Policy makers in different countries must realize that their attempt to completely use the fossil fuels within their countries is wholly incompatible(矛盾的) with their hope to reach the 2﹣degree goal,"Dr.Christophe Mc Glade at University College London's Energy Institute said in a statement."If they go ahead with developing their own resources,"he added,"they must be asked which reserves elsewhere should remain unburned in order for the carbon budget not to go beyond the limit."
It's not surprising to see how tapping into these unused reserves would be attractive.Energy﹣related industry is a big business all over the world.There are many coal reserves in China,Russia and the United States,along with over 260 thousand million barrels of oil reserves in the Middle East.Not to mention that oil is currently being developed in the Arctic.Companies spent over $670 billion last year in the expansion of fossil fuels,but according to the new model used in this latest study,developers may need to rethink their plans to develop these underground resources so as to make some contributions to control the world temperature from rising high in the future.
"We've now got practical figures of the quantities and locations of fossil fuels that should remain unused in trying to keep within the 2﹣degree temperature limit,"added Mc Glade.World leaders and policy makers should take the advice to heart,because a recent IPCC report warned that if immediate and great actions are not taken soon,climate change will cause irreversible(不可逆转的) impacts on environments worldwide,leaving the world an unsafe place for us to live in.
46.According to Paragraph 1,our goal is to .
A.discover more fossil fuels for the future generation
B.slow down the climate change
C.refuse to use reserves on the earth
D.keep the temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius
47.The underlined word"emissions"in Paragraph 1refers to .
A.things that are sent out into the air
B.products that are made from fossil fuels
C.factors that cause the climate change
D.changes that happen after temperature rise
48.According to what Mc Glade said in Paragraph 2,all countries should .
A.make full use of their fossil fuels
B.work together towards the 2﹣degree goal
C.find better ways to dig out the coal
D.increase the global carbon budget
49.We can infer from Paragraph 3 that great efforts have been made in .
A.digging out the oil in the Middle East
B.getting people to rethink their fuel plans
C.developing fossil fuels around the world
D.developing energy﹣related industry worldwide
50.What is the author's attitude towards the future of temperature control?
A.Confident.
B.Negative.
C.Satisfied.
D.Unclear.
51.(10分)It's hard to find Alice Munro in the media.Even after she won the 2013Nobel Prize in Literature,the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight.On Dec 29th,she still didn't seek the spotlight when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times.
In Munro's eyes,ordinary lives always hide larger dramas.So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people.She often focuses on life in her hometown,a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with.She writes about the ordinary things in the village﹣trees in the Ontario wilderness,poor country schools and long last illnesses.Above all,she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune.
She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary.These are ordinary people,ordinary stories,but she has the magic.Her precise language,depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting.
Runaway,one of Munro's representative works,is a good example of her writing style.One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla,who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark.The story slowly forms a picture of
Carla,trapped in a bad marriage,her unhappiness building into desperation until she decides to flee.The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love.It is about lost children and lost chances that we can all find in life.There is pain beneath the surface,like a needle in the heart.
Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968,Munro has won many awards,with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor.On Oct 10th,2013,the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the"master of the contemporary short story".
51.We learn from Paragraph 1that Alice Munro .
A.didn't get on well with the media
B.was surprised at winning the Nobel Prize
C.didn't value the title of Women of the Year
D.remained modest though very successful
52.Many of Alice Munro's works .
A.center on the happy life of country women
B.are about betrayals of love and violence
C.focus on everyday life of ordinary people
D.are romantic stories setting in her hometown
53.What makes Alice Munro's stories fascinating according to the text?
A.The complicated plots.
B.Her rich imagination.
C.The humorous language.
D.Her writing techniques.
54.In her representative work Runaway,Carla .
A.tries to run away from her husband
B.is a faithful wife to her husband
C.leads a happy life with Clark
D.loses all hopes for a better life
55.What is the text mainly about?
A.Alice Munro and her hometown.
B.Alice Munro and her writing style.
C.Alice Munro's representative works.
D.The awards Alice Munro won.
第三部分:写作 第一节:阅读表达 阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题.
56.(10分)Science has a lot of uses.It can uncover laws of nature,cure diseases,make bombs,and help bridges to stand up.Indeed science is so good at what it does that there's always a temptation (诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful.David Brooks,author of The Social Animal:The Hidden Sources of Love,Character,and Achievement,appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.
Brooks gained fame for several books.His latest book The Social Animal,however,is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books.It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics.The book focuses on big questions:What has science revealed about human nature?What are the sources of character?And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't?
To answer these questions,Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines.Considering this,you might expect the book to be a dry recitation (背诵)of facts.But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox (非常规的),and perhaps unfortunate way.Instead of introducing scientific theories,he tells a story,within which he tries to make his points,perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention.So as Harold and Erica,the hero and heroine in his story,live through childhood,we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction.Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.
On the whole,Brooks'story is acceptable if uninspired.As one would expect,his writing is mostly clear and,to be fair,some chapters stand out above the rest.I enjoyed,for instance,the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own.While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters,the more
serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere.These problems partly involve Brooks'attempt to translate his tale into science.
56.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?(No more than 10 words)
57.Why does Brooks use a story to introduce scientific theories?(No more than 15 words)
58.According to The Social Animal,how can we learn about the science of child development?(No more than 10 words)
59.Please explain the underlined word"weighty"in English.(No more than 1 word)
60.Do you like Brooks'way of dealing with science in The Social Animal?Why?(No more than 20 words) .

第一部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分45 分)
1.Unfortunately,________ stone hit him on ________ head and he got injured.( )
A.the; a B.a; 不填 C.a; the D.the; the
【考点】44:冠词的用法辨析.
【分析】不幸的是一块石头击中了他的头部,然后他就受伤了.
【解答】答案:C
解析:不定冠词a/an意为"一个",表示泛指;定冠词the意为"这个",表示特指.hit sb on the head意为"击中某人的头部",为固定搭配;又根据句意"不幸的是一块石头击中了他的头部"可知第一个横线处需使用不定冠词a"一个/块".综上,本题答案为C选项.
【点评】本题考查冠词的用法辨析,做此类题目时一定要清楚各个选项的含义,再结合句意确定最终答案.
2.________ to Anne's birthday party,Mr.Brown is now searching shop after shop for a nice present for her.( )
A.Having invited B.Having been invited
C.Have been invited D.Being invited
【考点】B2:现在分词的完成式.
【分析】受邀参加Anne的生日聚会,布朗先生现在正在一家店一家店地给她挑选礼物.
【解答】答案:B
句中有逗号分隔,没有连词,要用非谓语动词;invite与主语Brown构成动宾关系,要用表示被动的过去分词;句意表达的invite动作发生在search动作之前,要用分词的完成式作原因状语.故选B.
【点评】过去分词是非谓语动词的一种,用法很灵活,分为简单式done(表示与谓语同时或几乎同时发生的动作);完成式having been done(表示先于谓语的动作).学习时,要把握其用法特征:表示被动和完成.同时还要注意区分现在分词和不定式.
3.The activities organized by our school really gave us a platform ________ we learned team spirit.( )
A.that B.where C.which D.when
【考点】H1:限制性定语从句.
【分析】我们学校组织的活动给我们搭建一个平台,从中我们学到了团队精神.
【解答】答案:B
根据句子结构可知,________ we learned team spirit是一个定语从句,在该句子里主语宾语不缺,所以需用关系副词来引导,结合先行词为platform,表示一个抽象地点,所以用where.
【点评】考生需对句子结构分析,并能根据具体语境做出选择.
4.________ I say Clancy is a smart boy,he still needs to work hard to achieve his goal.( )
A.Then B.When C.While D.As
【考点】92:从属连词.
【分析】虽然我说Clancy是个聪明的孩子,但是他还需要努力学习才能实现他的目标.
【解答】答案:C
解析:A:那么;然后;B:当…的时候;C:虽然;D:因为.根据后面的"但是他还需要努力学习才能实现他的目标"可知前面一个分句需要使用引导让步作用的从属连词while"虽然"一词.综上,本题答案为D选项;其余选项均不符合题意.
【点评】本题考查从属连词,做此类题目时一定要清楚各个选项的含义及用法,再结合句意确定最终的答案.
5.The new buyer identified a dozen new sources for the material,________ proved to be reliable.( )
A.most of them B.most of which
C.most of whom D.most of those
【考点】H2:非限制性定语从句.
【分析】新的买方为材料确定了十几个新的来源,大部分被证明是可靠的.
【解答】答案:B
解析:分析句子结构及句意可知,后面的分句为定语从句.定语从句的先行词是指物的物the material,故应该用which做介词宾语,引导非限制性定语从句;X选项whom代人,A选项them无法用来引导定语从句,D选项those也无法引导定语从句.综上,本题答案为B选项.
【点评】本题考查非限制性定语从句,做此类题目时一定要清楚各个选项的含义及用法,再分析句子结构并结合句意确定最终的答案.
6.The old woman who ____ in the deserted house alone for ten years have been settled in a nursing home now.( )
A.lived B.have lived
C.had lived D.has been living
【考点】E2:一般过去时.
【分析】曾在那所废弃的房子里住了十年的那对老夫妻现在已经被安顿在养老院了.
【解答】答案:A
根据句意可知,由于那对老夫妻现在已经被安顿在养老院了,不在那所废弃的房子里住了,因此"住在废弃的房子里"是发生在过去的动作,句中的时间状语now对应的是过去;故应使用一般过去时;B.现在完成时,表示发生在过去并持续到了现在的动作;C.过去完成时,表示发生在过去某时间之前的动作;D.现在完成进行时,表示从过去某时开始一直持续到现在的动作,并且还将持续下去;B.C.D都不符合句意;故选A
【点评】
本题考查了一般过去时的用法.在做类似的时态题,首先应根据句意提示或句中的时间状语,正确判断出动作发生的时间;其次应熟练掌握各时态所表达的意义用法及它们相互之间的用法区别.
7.﹣I phoned you yesterday morning.A girl answered,but I didn't recognize the voice.
﹣Oh,it ________ my younger sister.She was in my room at that moment.( )
A.must have been B.should have been
C.could have been D.may have been
【考点】A6:情态动词.
【分析】﹣我昨天早上给你打电话,一个女孩接了,但我没听出她的声音.﹣哦,那一定是我的妹妹,当时她在我的房间里.
【解答】答案:A
句意表达的是肯定的推测;对过去的推测要用情态动词加完成时态来构成;must一定,should应该,could可能,may也许;根据句意表达的是肯定推测,故选A.
【点评】情态动词的用法是英语中常考的语言点.通常考查的方式有虚拟和推测,本题考查的是情态动词的推测用法.学习时要注意积累.
8.﹣Do you mind if I look at your new mobile phone?
﹣Of course not..( )
A.Please don't B.It depends C.Be my guest D.No way
【考点】JI:语言交际.
【分析】﹣你介意我看看你的新手机吗?
﹣当然不介意,别客气.
【解答】答案:C
A.Please don't请不要,请勿; B.It depends看情况而定; C.Be my guest别客气,请便; D.No way
没门;根据答语"当然不介意",可知此处表达的应是"我"同意你看"我"的新手机;故选C.
【点评】做语言交际类的题目时,首先应根据题目中的问句或答语,判断说话者的意图,从而确定出空缺处所表达的意思;其次应掌握各选项的意义及用法.
9.In the reading room,we found her ________ at a desk,with her attention ________ on a book.( )
A.sitting; fixing B.to sit; fixed
C.seating; fixing D.seated; fixed
【考点】BB:过去分词.
【分析】在阅览室,我发现她坐在桌旁专心致志的看书.
【解答】答案:D
句中sit或seat作her的宾语补足语,即find sb doing sth发现某人正在做某事;seat是及物动词,作宾补时,与her构成动宾关系,要用过去分词;fix作attention的宾语补足语,即with+名词+非谓语动词;fix与attention构成动宾关系,要用过去分词.故选D.
【点评】过去分词是非谓语动词的一种,用法很灵活,分为简单式done(表示与谓语同时或几乎同时发生的动作);完成式having been done(表示先于谓语的动作).学习时,要把握其用法特征:表示被动和完成.同时还要注意区分现在分词和不定式.
10.How long do you think ________ the computer company brings out a new product?( )
A.will it be when B.will it be until
C.it will be before D.it will be that
【考点】HH:时间状语从句.
【分析】你认为还需要多长时间电脑公司才能生产出这种新的产品.
【解答】答案:C.
分析句子的结构可知,这里do you think是插入语,这是固定句式it willbe+some time+before+
句子.意为:还要过多久才能…,这里是对时间段进行提问,所以用疑问词how long,因为疑问词后有插入语,当插入语用了疑问语序,它后面的成分就用陈述语序,故选C.
【点评】本句考查时间状语从句及用法,分析清楚句子结构完成此题难度不大,尤其是要注意常见插入语的用法.
11.﹣Monitor?
﹣I'm not monitor of our class.I ________with the teacher until the monitor is elected.( )
A.will just help B.am just to help
C.am just helping D.have just helped
【考点】E4:现在进行时.
【分析】﹣﹣﹣班长
﹣﹣﹣我不是班长.我现在只是帮忙的,直到班长选举出来.
【解答】答案:C
根据题意可知,我现在只是帮助老师做一些事情,暗示目前我正从事的事情,所以需用现在进行时表示目前正进行的动作.
【点评】考生需根据具体语境判断时态的选用.
12.How could they reach an agreement?Some said one thing,but others ________.( )
A.other B.another C.the other D.others
【考点】54:不定代词.

解析:A:其他的(后接可数名词复数);B:另一个(表示泛指);C:另一个(表示特指);D:其他的.根据前面的one thing"一样(东西)"可知后面与会对应的是"另一样(东西)",又因为此处没有特指,故使用another一词来表达"另一样(东西)"之意.综上,本题答案为B选项;其余选项均不符合题意.
【点评】本题考查不定代词,作息类题目时要清楚各个选项的含义及用法,并结合句意确定最终的答案.
13.It is important to pay your electricity bill on time,as late payments may affect your ______.( )
A.condition B.income C.credit D.status
【考点】35:名词的词义辨析.
【分析】按时支付你的电费很重要,因为逾期付款可能会影响你的信用.
【解答】答案C.
condition"条件,状况";income"收入";credit"信用,信誉";status"身份,地位".根据上文语境和句子所表达的意思"逾期付款影响信用"可知答案选C.
【点评】本题考查名词的词义辨析.名词词义辨析题一直都是高考考查的一个热点,它注重考查考生结合语境准确选用词语的能力.由于英语词汇丰富,且用法多变,考生掌握起来有较大难度,因此在平时应注意词汇的积累,理解词语的含义及其常见的习惯搭配,再联系句子所表述的意义和语境,选出正确的答案.
14.Bless your heart,I know you didn't break the vase ________.Don't cry!( )
A.on purpose B.by accident C.on business D.by mistake
【考点】8B:介词短语.
【分析】好了好了,我知道你不是故意打碎花瓶的.别哭了!
【解答】答案:A
on purpose故意;by accident意外;on business出差;by mistake失误;句意表达的是劝慰,可以知道不是故意的.故选A.
【点评】介词用法灵活,搭配较多.学习时要注意积累,对常考的搭配结构要注意掌握.
15.Had the governments and scientists not worked together,AIDS﹣related deaths _______ since their highest in 2005.( )
A.had not fallen B.would not fall
C.did not fall D.would not have fallen
【考点】GJ:虚拟语气;E9:过去完成时.
【分析】如果没有政府部门和科学家们的共同努力,与艾滋相关的死亡就不会从2005年的最高点下降.
【解答】答案:D
根据题干从句中had置于句首可知,此处为虚拟语气中连词if省略情况.由从句中谓语动词had not worked(had done)可知,是对过去情况的假设,所以主句中的谓语动词应用would/could/might/should have done来表示对过去情况的假设.故选D.
【点评】当虚拟条件句的谓语动词含有were,should,had时,if可以省略把if省略,从句用倒装语序,即把were,should,had提前.解此题时需先认清此句是if省略的倒装情况,再根据从句的谓语动词形式确定是对什么时间的假设,进而确定主句的谓语动词形式.

41.(10分)(2017•南开区模拟)After a terrible electrical accident,which caused him to become both blind and deaf,the whole world became completely dark and
quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years.The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life.His family,especially his wife,did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.
One hot summer afternoon,he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once.He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet,but he was struck by the lightning.Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree.He was trembling badly,but when he opened his eyes,he could hardly believe what he saw:a plough and a wall.When Mrs Edwards came running up to him,shouting to their neighbors to call for help,he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.
The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread,and many doctors came to examine him.Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning.However,none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened.The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that,since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock,perhaps,the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.
41.The reason for Robert's attempts to kill himself was that A .
A.he had to live in a dark and silent world
B.a terrible traffic accident happened to him
C.he was struck by the lightning once more
D.nobody in the world cared about him

D.Lying on the ground.
43.What did Robert see first when he regained his sight after the shock? A
A.A plough and a wall.
B.His neighbors.
C.His wife who called for help to save him.
D.Many doctors surrounding him.
44.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? B
A.Robert had been deaf and blind for nearly ten years.
B.Robert hid himself under the tree for 20 minutes.
C.Robert could hear his wife's shouting for help when he woke up.
D.The family's love helped Robert regain confidence to live.
45.We can infer from the text that D .

C.Robert's wife sent for doctors immediately after the shock
D.there was no accurate explanation for Robert's recovery.

44.B,细节题.根据文章第二段的Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tre

46.(10分)(2017•南开区模拟)The temperature is sharply rising with each passing day.People,including many experts,find it difficult to slow down the process.However,leaving coal and major fossil fuels in the ground could help to limit climate change in the future,according to a new study.That is to say,a third of oil reserves on the earth,half of gas reserves and over 80 percent of current coal reserves should not be used before the year 2050.If we are to prevent global temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius in the near future,we ought to carry some measures to severely control the emissions from factories vehicles and even our daily﹣life cooking.However,it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes.
"Policy makers in different countries must realize that their attempt to completely use the fossil fuels within their countries is wholly incompatible(矛盾的) with their hope to reach the 2﹣degree goal,"Dr.Christophe Mc Glade at University College London's Energy Institute said in a statement."If they go ahead with developing their own resources,"he added,"they must be asked which reserves elsewhere should remain unburned in order for the carbon budget not to go beyond the limit."
It's not surprising to see how tapping into these unused reserves would be attractive.Energy﹣related industry is a big business all over the world.There are many coal reserves in China,Russia and the United States,along with over 260 thousand million barrels of oil reserves in the Middle East.Not to mention that oil is currently being developed in the Arctic.Companies spent over $670 billion last year in the expansion of fossil fuels,but according to the new model used in this latest study,developers may need to rethink their plans to develop these underground resources so as to make some contributions to control the world temperature from rising high in the future.
"We've now got practical figures of the quantities and locations of fossil fuels that should remain unused in trying to keep within the 2﹣degree temperature limit,"added Mc Glade.World leaders and policy makers should take the advice to heart,because a recent IPCC report warned that if immediate and great actions are not taken soon,climate change will cause irreversible(不可逆转的) impacts on environments worldwide,leaving the world an unsafe place for us to live in.
46.According to Paragraph 1,our goal is to D .
A.discover more fossil fuels for the future generation
B.slow down the climate change
C.refuse to use reserves on the earth
D.keep the temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius
47.The underlined word"emissions"in Paragraph 1refers to A .
A.things that are sent out into the air
B.products that are made from fossil fuels
C.factors that cause the climate change
D.changes that happen after temperature rise
48.According to what Mc Glade said in Paragraph 2,all countries should B .
A.make full use of their fossil fuels
B.work together towards the 2﹣degree goal
C.find better ways to dig out the coal
D.increase the global carbon budget
49.We can infer from Paragraph 3 that great efforts have been made in C .
A.digging out the oil in the Middle East
B.getting people to rethink their fuel plans
C.developing fossil fuels around the world
D.developing energy﹣related industry worldwide
50.What is the author's attitude towards the future of temperature control? B
A.Confident.
B.Negative.
C.Satisfied.
D.Unclear.

【分析】本文是关于全球变暖问题的文章.
地球温度持续上涨,研究表明不要继续采集汽油和煤资源可以使情况得到好转,但是许多国家都在利用煤和汽油做燃料,而且规模和投入都很大,他们往往是一边治理一边排放废气,所以阻止全球气温上升2°C是不能实现的目标.
【解答】46.D.细节题.根据第一段第四行If we are to prevent global temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius in the near future,we ought to carry some measures,以及本段最后一句it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes可知我们的目标是阻止全球气温上升2°C,所以答案是D.
47.A.词义猜测题.根据这个词汇后面的from factories vehicles and even our daily﹣life cooking 可知该词指的是工厂和家庭燃煤后排出的废气,所以答案是A.
48.B.推理判断题.根据第二段 Mc Glade 所说的话,特别是 they must be asked which reserves elsewhere should remain unburned in order for the carbon budget not to go beyond the limit 可知如果一个国家在自己的地方排放废气,其他国家的努力减排是无用的,所以答案是B.
49.C.推理判断题. Energy﹣related industry is a big business all over the wor
ld.There are many coal reserves in China,Russia and the United States,along with over 260 thousand million barrels of oil reserves in the Middle East.Not to mention that oil is currently being developed in the Arctic.Companies spent over $670 billion last year in the expansion of fossil fuels,可知全世界的许多国家都在利用煤和汽油做燃料,所以答案是C.
50.B.推理判断题.根据第一段的最后一句it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes,以及第三段对于全世界的许多国家都在利用煤和汽油做燃料的描述可知,作者对于全球变暖的看法是消极的,所以答案是B.
【点评】考查科教类阅读.
科教类阅读一般专业词汇较多,而且有些是不熟悉的内容,所以难度较大,但是对于成绩不太好的学生来说,也不要完全放弃,因为里面有细节题是只要仔细就可以做对的,例如本题的46,47题.
51.(10分)(2017•南开区模拟)It's hard to find Alice Munro in the media.Even after she won the 2013Nobel Prize in Literature,the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight.On Dec 29th,she still didn't seek the spotlight when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times.
In Munro's eyes,ordinary lives always hide larger dramas.So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people.She often focuses on life in her hometown,a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with.She writes about the ordinary things in the village﹣trees in the Ontario wilderness,poor country schools and long last illnesses.Above all,she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune.
She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary.These are ordinary people,ordinary stories,but she has the magic.Her precise language,depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting.
Runaway,one of Munro's representative works,is a good example of her writing style.One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla,who lives in
a small Canadian town with her husband Clark.The story slowly forms a picture of Carla,trapped in a bad marriage,her unhappiness building into desperation until she decides to flee.The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love.It is about lost children and lost chances that we can all find in life.There is pain beneath the surface,like a needle in the heart.
Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968,Munro has won many awards,with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor.On Oct 10th,2013,the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the"master of the contemporary short story".
51.We learn from Paragraph 1that Alice Munro D .
A.didn't get on well with the media
B.was surprised at winning the Nobel Prize
C.didn't value the title of Women of the Year
D.remained modest though very successful
52.Many of Alice Munro's works C .
A.center on the happy life of country women
B.are about betrayals of love and violence
C.focus on everyday life of ordinary people
D.are romantic stories setting in her hometown
53.What makes Alice Munro's stories fascinating according to the text? D
A.The complicated plots.
B.Her rich imagination.
C.The humorous language.
D.Her writing techniques.
54.In her representative work Runaway,Carla A .
A.tries to run away from her husband
B.is a faithful wife to her husband
C.leads a happy life with Clark
D.loses all hopes for a better life
55.What is the text mainly about? B
A.Alice Munro and her hometown.
B.Alice Munro and her writing style.
C.Alice Munro's representative works.
D.The awards Alice Munro won.

56.(10分)(2017•南开区模拟)Science has a lot of uses.It can uncover laws of nature,cure diseases,make bombs,and help bridges to stand up.Indeed science is so good at what it does that there's always a temptation (诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful.David Brooks,author of The Social Animal:The Hidden Sources of Love,Character,and Achievement,appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.
Brooks gained fame for several books.His latest book The Social Animal,however,is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books.It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics.The book focuses on big questions:What has science revealed about human nature?What are the sources of character?And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't?
To answer these questions,Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines.Considering this,you might expect the book to be a dry recitation (背诵)of facts.But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox (非常规的),and perhaps unfortunate way.Instead of introducing scientific theories,he tells a story,within which he tries to make his points,perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention.So as Harold and Erica,the hero and heroine in his story,live through childhood,we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction.Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.
On the whole,Brooks'story is acceptable if uninspired.As one would expect,his writing is mostly clear and,to be fair,some chapters stand out above the rest.I enjoyed,for instance,the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own.While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters,the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere.These problems partly involve Brooks'attempt to translate his tale into science.

【分析】本文是一篇议论文.文章先列举出科学的许多功能,接着指出科学有巨大的诱惑力,以致许多作家抵挡不住这种诱惑,在文学作品中运用到科学.并以Brooks的新书The social animal为例,批判地分析这本书的优势和不足.
【解答】56.The purpose of writing The Social Animal./The main topics of the book.主旨大意题.

57.Because he tries to make his points through the story or keep reader's attention.细节题.
根据这句Instead of introducing scientific theories,he tells a story,within which he tries to make his points,perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention.可知,在介绍科学理念时,通过讲一个故事目的是为了吸引读者的注意力.
58.As Harold and Erica live through their childhood.细节题.
通过第三段的介绍可知,Harold and Erica是书里的男女主人公,一起经历过童年时光,从而我们了解了儿童成长的科学规律.
59.Serious.Or:Important.Or:Significant.Or:Great.Or:Big.Or:Crucial.Or:Heavy….猜测词意题.
根据The book focuses on big questions可知,该书涉及的都是大的问题,所以It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics中的weighty是重要的,关键的意思.
60.Yes,I do.Because he introduces scientific theories through a story,which is much easier for people to understand.概括题.
通过文章的介绍可知,Brooks重要通过故事的形式来传递科学理念,让人理解起来更容易.

【点评】这类文章书写时,需要做到脉络清晰,并且观点明确,理由得当.首先审题,明白文章的话题主要是什么,也就是整篇文章的中心,如本文的主要话题就是"倡导做一位文明的中国司机",其次就是要抓住题目给出的主要内容,这也就是给文章的主要脉络进行了定格,所以这类文章在书写时,对于预言逻辑能力的运用能力,词汇和句型的使用能力,文章连接的高要求较高,同时学生在书写时,对于字数也要进行适当的控制.
