Ⅰ.阅读(2019山东菏泽高三一模)
The morning after an evening struggle to care for my three-year-old daughter,I couldn’t wait to get her to school.I,as a mother,was tired from the anger and her inability to communicate because of her slowed language development.
As I accompanied her into the car,I felt desperate.Nothing was right with our world.She’d been born around the same time when the nation was witnessing the birth of another Great Recession.My job and my house had been victims.Then this happened.My child’s language delay was identified,but doctors struggled to properly help her.I felt like we both needed to be rescued.
I returned that afternoon as disenchanted with the little girl I loved as when I left.Walking slowly toward the school’s playground gate,I found her preschool teacher racing to greet me.
“You should have seen her today!”His breathy words were supported by excitement.I didn’t interrupt.“See that climber.”He pointed to a wooden piece of playground equipment that looked like a rock wall.I nodded.“Well,every day since she started school,she’s tried and failed to make it to the top.”He took a breath.“And today she did it!”
He expressed his joy just as he’d witnessed her conquering
Mount Everest!“She cheered and celebrated! I wish I’d recorded it!” His words comforted me.My daughter had conquered her mountain.
As she ran toward me,I recognized something I hadn’t before.I saw her perseverance(毅力).I saw her strength.I saw a hero.

people speak English when they meet foreigners.1. There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language.Why is this?

The ancient city of Chichen Itza in southern Mexico was one of the most powerful cities and one of the most powerful ancient cultures—the Maya.But today,no one lives there.It is only a group of old buildings.However,people from around the world still come to see it.People come to learn about its ancient culture,the culture of the Mayan people.
The Mayan culture began almost 3,000 years ago and grew in parts of Central America.But about 1,000 years ago a group called the Itza invaded the city and built new parts of the city based on natural wells.They named the city Chichen Itza,which means “mouth of the well of the Itza”.
The most interesting structure in Chichen Itza is the Pyramid of Kukulcan(库库尔坎金字塔),whose four sides all come together at one point at the top.Each side on the Pyramid of Kukulcan has 91 steps.And there is one more step at the top of the pyramid.The steps are as many as the days of a year.Some experts believe the Maya could have used this building to help them know when to plant crops.Each day the sun falls on a different step of the pyramid,which could be a way to follow the year.
The people of Chichen Itza especially designed one building to
observe and study the movement of the stars and planets.Experts say that the observatory (天文台) is one of the most complex structures the Maya built.A set of steps went up and around the observatory tower.And there were windows in the tower.Each window had a purpose.Experts believe that a person looking through one of these windows could see particular stars on particular dates.The Maya might have believed that studying the stars could tell them the future.
Chichen Itza is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an important part of the world’s history.

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了墨西哥南部玛雅古城遗址以及这个古城的著名的古老文化——玛雅文化。
答案及剖析:
1.B 细节理解题。由第一段的最后一句话“People come to learn about its ancient culture,the culture of the Mayan people.”可知,游客来到Chichen Itza的目的是探索和体验玛雅文化。
2.A 细节理解题。由文章第二段最后两句话可知,此处有许多天然的井,故得此名。
3.A 细节理解题。文章最后一段说Itza是联合国教科文组织的世界遗产,故A正确。从倒数第三段的“The steps are as many as the days of a year.”可以排除B项。根据倒数第二段的“Experts believe that a person looking through one of these windows could see particular stars on particular dates.”可以排除C项;根据第二段可知D项不符合原文,故也排除。

One of America’s best-known artist colonies,the MacDowell Colony,will turn 110 next year.It is a place where artists of all types can sweep away distractions and just create.
MacDowell’s operations are funded by foundations,corporations and individuals.Writers,composers,photographers,filmmakers and sculptors—both famous and unknown—compete for the 32 free studios at the place.Once accepted,an artist can stay for as little as a couple of weeks,or as long as a couple of months.
When they arrive,artists find a kind of isolation(隔绝) hard to find in our world.There’s no phone.No fax.No friends.No family.It’s just a cabin in the snowy woods.
Writer Emily Raboteau lives in New York City.She came to MacDowell to work on a novel.She received a desk,chairs,pencil and paper—and ice grippers.The walk from one isolated,one-room studio to another is icy,so colony residents(居住的人) fasten the ice grippers to the bottom of their shoes.
Another colony resident,Belfast composer Elaine Agnew,plays a piece called “To a Wild Rose,”written by Edward MacDowell.She says it’s so famous that every pianist in the world has played the tune.A hundred years ago,MacDowell owned the land where the colony now sits.He liked its isolation and his ability to get work done there.After his death,his wife,Marion,encouraged other artists to come.
And for the last century,artists have accepted the invitation,coming to step outside of their daily lives for a short time.Privacy is respected,but cooperation and discussion is common.
Screenwriter Kit Carson—who wrote Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and the film adaptation of Sam Shepherd’s play Paris,Texas—has visited MacDowell twice.He says that the interdisciplinary(学科间的) discussion there is valuable.
“You sit around at dinner,talking,and then somebody runs off and brings you back some stuff and shows it to you,”he says.“That,I didn’t realize,was part of the magic here,because people are really open to showing their opinions here.”
5.What do the colony residents have in common?
A.They find it hard to survive the loneliness. B.They usually stay in the colony for months.
C.They are already famous in their own field. D.They are nearly cut off from the outside world.
6.Why does the author mention Elaine Agnew?
A.To show the wide range of the residents. B.To introduce the origin of the colony.
C.To admire her great musical talent. D.To show respect for MacDowell.
7.Where does the magic of the MacDowell Colony lie according to Kit Carson?
A.It has a homely feel. B.It values work-play balance.
C.It encourages privacy greatly. D.It has an idea-sharing atmosphere.
8.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Wonderland for artists B.Creativity at work
C.Happy birthday D.Power of silence
语篇解读:本文是说明文。美国的麦克道威尔文艺营是艺术家可以居住和创作的艺术中心,历史已经接近110年了。
答案及剖析:
5.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的sweep away distractions和第三段When they arrive,artists find a kind of isolation hard to find in our world.There’s no phone.No fax.No friends.No family.It’s just a cabin in the snowy woods可知,艺术家们在麦克道威尔文艺营基本与世隔绝,这样他们才能更好地安心创作。
6.B 推理判断题。文章在第五段提到作曲家Elaine Agnew,由她演奏麦克道威尔的名曲《致野玫瑰》进而谈起麦克道威尔文艺营的前世今生。
7.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的the interdisciplinary discussion there is valuable和最后一段中的part of the magic here,because people are really open to showing their opinions here可知,Kit Carson发现人们在这里可以畅所欲言,发表自己的观点,这是该文艺营的魔力所在。
8.A 主旨大意题。文章介绍了麦克道威尔文艺营。很多艺术家竞相来到这里,创作的灵感在寂寥无人处迸发。文中引用了几位艺术家的实例来突出表现该文艺营的独特之处。故A项作标题形象、贴切、概括力强。
Ⅱ.语法填空

答案及剖析:
1.existence come into existence 产生,开始存在。
2.by by hand 用手,手工。
3.which 句意:这个过程需要多达108个步骤,所有这些步骤都需要一定程度的精致。此处steps作先行词,指物,后面的非限制性定语从句缺少主语,故用which。
4.to form It takes sb.some time to do sth.做某事花费某人多少时间。
5.themselves devote oneself to献身于……。
6.the most difficult 根据of all可知此处是形容词最高级,故答案为the most difficult。

8.recognized 此处是过去分词作后置定语,故答案为recognized。
9.a 句意:2009年,联合国教科文组织将其列为世界非物质文化遗产,我们感到非常自豪。也就是我们有一种自豪感。故答案为a。
10.has been taught Since then是现在完成时态的标志,Xuan papermaking 和teach之间是被动关系,所以句子用现在完成时态的被动语态,故答案为has been taught。
