青岛市2019高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（18）（答案及解析）‎ Words：327　难度系数：★★★　建议用时：9分钟 When one thinks of the expansion of the American West，the event most likely to come to mind is the California Gold Rush of 1849.However，there remained wide land between the Pacific Coast and，say，St.Louis，Missouri.Why mentions.St.Louis? You might be asking.Because the young United States started exploring the vast land mass to the west from that very point and almost fifty years before those gold nuggets started hitting the pan in California.‎ In 1803 President Thomas Jefferson sent a secret message to Congress calling for an expedition into the area west of the Mississippi River.He felt that a military man with some men could successfully chart the route.At that time France owned the territory and such an expedition would be considered invading.‎ Then in July of the same year，Napoleon of France，in a surprise move，offered Louisiana to the United States for $15,000，000.America accepted and the United States grew by about one million square miles，from the Mississippi to the Rockies and from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada.‎ Shortly before this news，Jefferson had handed his personal secretary，Meriweather Lewis his instructions for the expedition of the Missouri River.On May 14,1804，the Lewis and Clark Expedition started out from St.Louis in search of the Pacific Ocean.‎ Two and a half years and 8,000 miles later the explorers returned to St.Louis and there’s a thunderous welcome from a grateful nation.Although the route never became widely used，it provided the impetus for the great western exploration movement.The search for America began.‎ By 1848，when Mexico ceded its claim to all US territories to the north of its presentday border，the United States had acquired the land westward from the Rockies to the Pacific Coast，north to the 49th parallel and south to the Rio Grande.This lawful possession convinced thousands of settlers to move westward in search of land.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文讲述了美国领土扩张过程中的几个重大事件。‎ ‎9．Why was Jefferson’s message to Congress secret?‎ A．California is rich in gold nuggets.‎ B．There may be trouble with France.‎ C．It’s about a military expedition.‎ D．The Westward Expansion began.‎ 解析：选B。细节理解题。文中第二段谈到the Mississippi River以西的领地当时由法国人控制，保密是为了避免冲突。‎ ‎10．Why were the explorers given a warm welcome in St.Louis?‎ A．They reached the Mississippi River.‎ B．The newly charted road was of wide use.[来源:1]‎ C．They won one victory after another.‎ D．They succeeded in charting the route.‎ 解析：选D。细节理解题。开拓者受到热烈的欢迎是因为他们成功地开拓出一条通往西部的路。[来源:1]‎ ‎11．What’s the probable meaning of the underlined word “ceded” in the last paragraph?‎ A．fought for. B．gave up.‎ C．stood for. D．kept up.‎ 解析：选B。词义猜测题。从最后一段的有关信息可以推知，Mexico只有宣称放弃领地之后，美国才有对Mexico先前所控制土地的所有权。‎ ‎12．Which of the following is the right order of the historical events?‎ ‎①the California Gold Rush　②the beginning of the search for America　③instructions for the expedition of the Missouri River　④America’s possession of the land north of the Rio Grande　⑤the surprise move of France to offer Louisiana to the US A．③⑤②①④ B．③⑤②④①‎ C．⑤③②①④ D．③⑤④②①‎ 解析：选B。排序题。做该题可以根据时间来判断。从短文第二、三、四段得知事件③⑤发生在1803年，但Jefferson指示开拓the Missouri River在前；从第五段中得知②事件发生在1806年左右；从最后一段得知④事件发生在1848年；而从第一段了解到①事件发生在1849年。‎ ‎****************************************************************结束 完形填空、解题技巧(1)‎ 完形填空是同学们失分率较高的一个题型，有的同学甚至不敢做完形填空。其实，此题虽难，却有章可循，只要我们掌握相应技巧，再辅以适当的训练，是完全可以攻克这个难题的。‎ ‎◆ 技巧点拨 ‎　完形填空的解题步骤 ‎(1)通读全文，理解大意：做题前，先跳过空格，快速浏览全文，着重感知文章大意。‎ ‎(2)上下联系，确定答案：确定答案时，必须瞻前顾后。利用生活常识、固定搭配、行文逻辑、具体语境帮助自己找到最佳答案。同时，学会避难就易，先填好简单的答案，再攻克难题，尽可能多拿分。‎ ‎(3)复读全文，验证答案：在选好所有答案后，必须重读全文，验证所选答案是否合乎逻辑、是否符合语境；同时检查有无遗漏之题。‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36-55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。‎ I have never learned as much math in my life as I did last year.

By using your time properly, you can do your homework more quickly. Learning to study is not difficult.‎ The first thing to remember is that you must be willing to learn. It doesn’t mean that you must always like the subject. It does mean, however, that you must be willing to do whatever is necessary to learn. Try to understand why it is important and how it will help you now and later to do and learn other things. Knowing mathematics facts will be useful in your whole life. Knowing how to spell makes any kind of writing easier. Sometimes subject that you think is going to be uninteresting will be exciting when you begin to work at it and understand it more clearly. Learning things can be fun if you are willing to work with them.‎ Here’s some advice for you: have a certain time each day and a quiet place with good lighting for study, so that you can concentrate on your study without interruptions(中断); have everything ready before you sit down to study, a dictionary, paper, a pen and books; be sure you understand ‎ what you should learn before you start; read carefully and pay special attention to the most important things; when memorizing, first find out the main parts and then recite the whole thing; check your homework after you finish it; never forget the importance of review and preview.‎ ‎68. The main purpose of the article is______‎ A. to prove that learning is not difficult ‎ B. to make the readers be interested in study C. to tell the importance of self teaching ‎ D. to tell the students how to study well ‎69. We learn things because______‎ A. our parents want us to learn ‎ B. every student learns at school C. we may use these things in the future ‎ D. we like the subjects[来源:学_科_网Z_X_X_K]‎ ‎70.

Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology. ‎ Point 1 The telephone creates need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?‎ Point 2  The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. ‎ Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车)to her rescue. ‎ Point 3  The mobile phone removes our secret. It allows Manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went. ‎ Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near — but we didn't meet for the first two weeks!” ‎ Point 5  The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously(同时地) on chat lines(at least my daughter does. I wouldn't know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts(if you know any) while they're space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth. ‎ ‎1. How do you understand “ Point 1—The telephone creates the need to communicate” ?‎ A. People don't communicate without telephone. B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone. C. People communicate more since telephone has been created. D. People communicate more because of more traffic. ‎ ‎2. Which points do you think best support the idea that phones improve people's life?‎ A. Point 3 and point 4 B. Point 1 and point 5‎ C. Point 1 and point 3 D. Point 2 and point 5‎ ‎3. It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through _______.‎ A. the TV screen B. a fax machine C. the phone line hooked up to the computer D. a microphone ‎【答案与解析】本文阐述了电话不仅仅改变了我们的生活，其好处不胜枚举。‎ ‎1. C。语义理解题。第2段最后一句话If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about? 已经作了最好的解释。‎ ‎2. D。判断题。因为Point 1讲的是The telephone creates need to communicate，Point 3讲的是The mobile removes our secret, Point 4讲的是The telephone separates us，只有Point 2和Point ‎ 5是讲phones improve people's life。‎ ‎3. C。细节题。根据Point 5中的 Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously on chat lines可知答案为C。‎ ‎***********************************************************结束 Once a group of 17-year-old schoolboys decided to break the world basketball marathon record(马拉松记录).

When it was their turn to rest, they were too excited(兴奋的) to fall asleep at once. ‎ After sleeping for a short time, they had to play again. On the second night, they fell asleep as soon as they stopped. Some of them had trouble with their feet and hands, but the only serious problem was a psychological(心理上的) one. Each boy was thinking：why am I doing this？How can I play any longer？After the third night, the players knew they could finish the ninety hours. The basketball on the fourth night was very slow.
