A
Some insects, such as butterflies and ladybugs, are quite beautiful. But, did you know that many bugs are also edible and are filled with protein?
Aletheia Price knows this—and a lot more—about bugs. She also thinks you should try eating some. If you visit the website www.eatbug.com, you will find all kinds of information about edible insects. Most of it was written by Aletheia Price when she was fifteen years old. Aletheia started eating bugs at the age of thirteen. Before long, she found that she really enjoyed some of them. She also became interested in finding out more about which kinds of bugs could be eaten and how to cook them.
According to Aletheia, there are at least 1,462 kinds of edible insects. (Doesn’t that make you wonder who tried all of them and decided they were edible?) Some of her favorite dishes include mealworm chocolate chip cookies, ant tacos(玉米卷), and chocolate-covered crickets(蟋蟀). On her website she has recipes for insect entrees(开胃菜) and some helpful tips. For example, when preparing crickets, it is best to remove their legs before cooking, for the legs tend to get stuck in your teeth. She also offers information for anyone who wants to raise bugs for food.
Aletheia realizes that eating bugs is not for everyone. But, if you think about it, you have to admit that eating bugs might be a good idea. There are billions and billions of bugs in this world. If we could get used to eating them, we would have plenty of food for everyone.
21. When Aletheia was 13, she _________.
A. wrote articles about bugs
B. ate bugs for the first time
C. taught people how to cook bugs
D. studied nutritional value of bugs
22. On Aletheia’s website, you can find information on ________.
A. names of restaurants to serve bugs B. how to keep bugs as pets
C. tips on cooking and eating bugs D. where to catch bugs for food
23. In Aletheia’s opinion, eating bugs can help ________.
A. keep the balance of nature
B. solve the food supply problem
C. make your life more interesting
D. make the old and the young stronger
【答案】21. B 22. C 23. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。许多昆虫是可以食用的。Aletheia Price在13岁时开始食用虫子,她对昆虫了解很多。她发现有至少1462种昆虫是可食用的。她还创立了自己的网站,网站上有如何烹饪可食用虫子的食谱和有用的建议。在Aletheia看来,吃虫子可以帮助解决食物供应问题。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Aletheia started eating bugs at the age of thirteen.(Aletheia从十三岁开始吃虫子。)可知当Aletheia十三岁时,她第一次吃了虫子。故选B。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中On her website she has recipes for insect entrees(开胃菜) and some helpful tips.(在她的网站上,她有昆虫主菜的食谱和一些有用的建议。)可知在Aletheia的网站上,你可以找到烹饪和吃虫子的建议。故选C。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句If we could get used to eating them, we would have plenty of food for everyone.(如果我们能习惯吃它们,我们就会有足够的食物给每个人。)可知在Aletheia看来,吃虫子可以帮助解决食物供应问题。故选B。
B
Liana nervously bit her nails while she waited for the exam to arrive. She looked around the room; hundreds of other law students sat in rows staring anxiously at the tables in front of them. Just as she began to take a deep breath to calm her anxiety, an exam booklet(册子) was placed in front of her. This was the moment she had been expecting ever since she began law school three years ago. She picked up her pencil, and opened to the first page of the bar exam, a test for all students wanting to become licensed lawyers.
Liana never thought she would want to become a lawyer. Her parents were both artists. Law was something she had not been exposed to as a child. But art made for a tumultuous career—both of her parents had struggled to find
jobs and worked round the clock when they were young. Even though they finally seemed successful and happy, Liana wanted something different.
She was the anchor on her high school debate team, and consistently impressed her competitors with her analytical thinking. “Never argue with Ms. Lakes,” her teachers would say. So she chose to major in law. In her mind, she pictured herself in a New York City courtroom(法庭) dressed in an expensive suit, with papers in her hand, waving at the jury(陪审团) in a speech on human rights.
But now, with the bar exam sitting in front of her, she started to worry. “What if I don’t pass? Did I study enough?” Her thoughts raced through her mind. On the first page were seven paragraphs detailing a law situation followed by a series of questions. Liana read through the paragraphs, and quickly scribbled down an explanation of the first question before moving onto the next question. The next few hours went like this as the clock ticked closer and closer to the lunch hour.
At 12:00 p.m. sharp, a buzzer(蜂鸣器) sounded and everyone was told to put down their pencils and walked out for an hour-long lunch break. At lunch, Liana met her friend, Kevin.
“How did it go?” she asked. “To be honest, I’ve no idea. I just kept writing.” Kevin said. Liana laughed and said she felt the same way.
After lunch, the two exchanged words of encouragement. They strolled back into the exam center a bit more refreshed. Liana finished the second half of the exam that day with a better feeling than what she started with in the morning.
24. What do we know about the bar exam Liana is taking?
A. It is for someone to be a qualified lawyer.
B. It has many law situations to describe.
C. It lasts for hours without stopping.
D. It takes place every three years.
25. “A tumultuous career” in Paragraph 2 probably is a career that ________.
A. has lots of chances of success
B. needs to work in different cities
C. is full of competition and hard work
D. demands much professional knowledge
26. Liana wanted to be a lawyer because ________.
A. she was good at arguing and debating
B. she wanted to follow her friend’s advice
C. she believed it would bring her a rich and happy life
D. she aimed to devote herself to protecting human rights
27. At the end of the exam, Liana felt more ________.
A. nervous B. curious
C. energetic D. confident
28. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Wild Dream B. A True Lawyer
C. The Big Test D. A Hard Choice
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. A 27. D 28. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章内容主要为描述律师资格考试,这个为让某人成为合格律师的重大考试前学生Liana的情况,以及在考试中Liana和其他学生的表现,主要为描述律师资格考试这个重大考试。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句She picked up her pencil, and opened to the first page of the bar exam, a test for all students wanting to become licensed lawyers.(她拿起铅笔,翻开了律师资格考试的第一页,这是一个面向所有想成为执业律师的学生的考试。)可知Liana参加的律师考试是为了让某人成为一名合格的律师的考试。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据下文both of her parents had struggled to find jobs and worked round the clock when they were young.(她的父母都在努力找工作,年轻时就夜以继日地工作。)可推理得知A tumultuous career是指一个充满竞争和努力工作的职业。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段前面两句She was the anchor on her high school debate team, and consistently impressed her competitors with her analytical thinking. “Never argue with Ms. Lakes,” her teachers would say.(她是高中辩论队的主持人,她的分析思维给对手留下了深刻的印象。“永远不要和莱克女士争论,”她的老师会说。)可知Liana想成为一名律师,因为她擅长辩论和辩论。故选A。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句Liana finished the second half of the exam that day with a better feeling than what she started with in the morning.(那天,Liana完成了下半部分的考试,感觉比早上开始时好多了。)可知在考试结束时,Liana感到更加自信了。故选D。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容主要为描述律师资格考试前学生Liana的情况,以及在考试中Liana的表现可知主要为描述了律师资格考试这个重大考试。故选C。
【点睛】细节理解题解题方法
细节理解题属直接解答性问题,是阅读理解题中最简单的一种,多数属中低难度的题。但高考所占的比例大,应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是:对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解,一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案,而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。
做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下:
1.略读材料,大概了解原文,掌握中心或主旨。经常有新技术对将来人们工作和生活不良影响的预测,但事实证明结果并不是那样,我们有必要否定预测,以减少人们的恐惧。
2.按文章的体裁,作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。
3.将精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读,全文扫视,找到细节出处,待找到含细节句子时,放慢速度,仔细核对比较内容,直至找到答案。
如第一小题,根据第一段最后一句She picked up her pencil, and opened to the first page of the bar exam, a test for all students wanting to become licensed lawyers.(她拿起铅笔,翻开了律师资格考试的第一页,这是一个面向所有想成为执业律师的学生的考试。)可知Liana参加的律师考试是为了让某人成为一名合格的律师的考试。故选A。
C
Each year, hundreds of thousands of wild animals around the world are killed in trophy hunting—the organized shooting of animals for pleasure. The hunters then bring parts of the animal home with them as their “trophy” to remember the hunting.
Trophy hunters pay big money to kill animals. Some of the money goes to helping wildlife protection. Trophy hunting also attracts business, which encourages people to preserve land and breed(饲养) animals that would otherwise be endangered. Cathy Dean, head of the Save the Rhino Charity, says that at the start of the 1900s there were only 50–100 southern white rhinos. Now, there are around 18,000. This is partly because some of them were raised specially for trophy hunting.
But things don’t usually go on one way. According to WWF, elephant populations have fallen from 1.3 million to just over 400,000 since the 1980s. Over the same period, hunters from around the world have taken home more
than 100,000 African elephant trophies. Trophy hunting is not illegal(非法的) but unfair on the animals. In 2015, Cecil the lion was shot by a US trophy hunter. Cecil was a beloved lion in Zimbabwe, Africa. Cecil was lured with bait(诱饵), shot with an arrow and struggled in blood for more than ten hours before his hunters tracked and finished killing him. His son, Xanda, met a similar fate two years later.
Cecil’s death caused worldwide outrage and protests(反抗) against trophy hunting. Countries including Australia, France and the Netherlands banned(禁止) the import of lion trophies—they stop hunters from being allowed to bring home parts of the animal they kill. They believe that people will stop trophy hunting because the activity might lose its attraction if hunters can’t bring their trophies home.
The UK Government said that it would consider a ban on trophy-hunting imports by 2017, but no action had been taken. In April 2019, a letter by protesters against trophy hunting was sent to the UK government asking to ban trophy-hunting imports. On 7 May, the official in charge of the environment, Michael Gove, said that the UK would not ban the imports for the time being. This left the world in a state of a shock. Hopefully the UK will place a ban on trophy-hunting imports, which would be an important message and inspire others to treat animals better. We’re waiting for the day to come.
29. A trophy hunter usually ________.
A. kills wild animals for food
B. learns about wildlife in the hunting
C. gives a large amount of money to protect wildlife
D. takes part of the animal home in memory of the hunting
30. Why does the writer mention Cecil’s story in Paragraph 3?
A. To prove trophy hunting makes some animal species endangered.
B. To show how animals suffered painfully in trophy hunting.
C. To attach importance to protecting wild lions in Africa.
D. To persuade trophy hunters to hunt in a legal way.
31. Why did some countries ban the import of lion trophies?
32. What is the writer’s attitude towards the UK’s decision on the ban of trophy-hunting imports?
【答案】29. D 30. B
31. To make people give up trophy hunting.
32. The writer might feel shocked /disappointed at/unsatisfied with the UK’s decision.
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。每年,世界各地都有成千上万的野生动物在有组织的狩猎活动中被猎杀。然后猎人把动物的一部分带回家作为他们的“战利品”来纪念狩猎。狩猎战利品并不违法,但对动物是不公平的。对此某些国家已经采取禁止对狮子战利品的进口,来使人们放弃战利品狩猎。而英国政府则暂时不会禁止进口,这让作者感到震惊和失望。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句The hunters then bring parts of the animal home with them as their “trophy” to remember the hunting.(然后猎人把部分动物带回家作为他们的“战利品”来纪念狩猎。)可知猎人通常会把一部分猎物带回家,以纪念狩猎。故选D。
【30题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段第二句Countries including Australia, France and the Netherlands banned the import of lion trophies—they stop hunters from being allowed to bring home parts of the animal they kill.(包括澳大利亚、法国和荷兰在内的国家禁止狮子战利品的进口,他们阻止猎人将他们猎杀的动物的部分带回家。)可知一些国家禁止狮子战利品的进口是为了使人们放弃战利品狩猎。故答To make people give up trophy hunting.。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中This left the world in a state of a shock. Hopefully the UK will place a ban on trophy-hunting imports, which would be an important message and inspire others to treat animals better. We’re waiting for the day to come.(这让世界处于震惊的状态。希望英国能禁止狩猎进口,这将是一个重要的信息,并激励其他人更好地对待动物。我们在等待那一天的到来。)可知对于英国政府的决定,作者感到震惊和不满意。故答The writer might feel shocked /disappointed at/unsatisfied with the UK’s decision.。
D
When was the last time you sat on a park bench(凳子)? Did you stay for long? A new kind of park benches will limit the amount of time you can sit there. If you don’t get up in time, it could be very painful: there are many sharp spikes (钉子) on the part that you sit on!
Visitors who want a rest on the bench need to put a coin in a machine next to it. Once the money was accepted, the spikes disappear into the bench. Then visitors can sit down comfortably, but only for half an hour. When the time’s up, the spikes slowly start moving up again. It doesn’t hurt at first, but after a minute, they start coming up even more quickly. They aren’t long enough to cause serious hurt, but they do cause pain, as tests have shown. But why have they been installed (安装)?
“Our public park is very popular in summer,” a spokesperson for the park explained. “But with all the thousands of people who visit the park, there aren’t enough benches for everyone. We want to make sure that the benches are shared by more visitors, and to stop people taking a bench and staying there all day. Installing spikes seems to be the fairest way of stopping people doing this.”
33. How is the new kind of park bench different from other benches?
34. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
35. Why are the new benches installed?
36. The passage says, “Installing spikes seems to be the fairest way of stopping people doing this.” Do you agree with this? Please state your reasons.
【答案】33. It can limit the amount of time people sit on it (with sharp spikes). / If you don’t get up from it in limited time, it could make you painful./There are many sharp spikes on it to limit the amount of time people sit on it.
34. It’s mainly about how the new kind of benches work
35. They’re installed to solve the problem that some people take a bench too long and others can’t share it.
36. Yes. If people are asked to pay for benches, they will not take it too long when they don’t really need it. Thus, every visitor will have the chance to share it. /No. Benches in parks should be free to visitors. The park can build more benches to solve its problem instead of limiting the time when visitors have a rest on benches.
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型公园长椅,其不同之处在于它上面有很多尖刺,用来限制人们坐在上面的时间。安装这种椅子的目的是为了让更多的人都能分享到长椅。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。第一段最后一句If you don’t get up in time, it could be very painful: there are many sharp spikes on the part that you sit on!(如果你没有及时起来,那将是非常痛苦的:你所坐的部位有许多锋利的刺!)可知新型公园长椅与其他长椅的不同之处在于如果你不能在有限的时间内离开它,它可能会让你痛苦。故答It can limit the amount of time people sit on it (with sharp spikes). / If you don’t get up from it in limited time, it could make you painful./There are many sharp spikes on it to limit the amount of time people sit on it.。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段内容Visitors who want a rest on the bench need to put a coin in a machine next to it. Once the money was accepted, the spikes disappear into the bench. Then visitors can sit down comfortably, but only for half an hour. When the time’s up, the spikes slowly start moving up again.
(想要在长椅上休息的游客需要在旁边的机器里放一枚硬币。一旦这笔钱被接受,钉子就会消失在板凳上。然后游客可以舒服地坐下来,但只能坐半个小时。当时间到了,尖峰又开始慢慢地向上移动。)可知第二段主要介绍了这种新型长椅是如何工作的,故填It’s mainly about how the new kind of benches work.。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中We want to make sure that the benches are shared by more visitors, and to stop people taking a bench and staying there all day.(我们希望确保更多的游客可以共享这些长椅,并阻止人们坐在长椅上一整天。)可知安装它们是为了解决有些人坐了太长时间的板凳,而有些人却无法分享的问题。故答They’re installed to solve the problem that some people take a bench too long and others can’t share it.。
【36题详解】
本题为开放性题目,言之有理即可。故可答Yes. If people are asked to pay for benches, they will not take it too long when they don’t really need it. Thus, every visitor will have the chance to share it. /No. Benches in parks should be free to visitors. The park can build more benches to solve its problem instead of limiting the time when visitors have a rest on benches.。

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章描述了地球上生命如何开始的经过。
【37题详解】
考查连接词。句意:没有人确切地知道地球是如何开始的。本句为宾语从句,且从句中缺少方式状语,故填how。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:然而,根据一个被广泛接受的理论,宇宙始于一次“大爆炸”。短语begin with“以……开始;开始于……”故填with。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:然后尘埃落进了一个坚固的球体。根据上下文语境可知为描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,故填settled。
【40题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:许多科学家认为,正是水的存在使地球能够将有害气体和酸溶解到海洋中,从而使生命得以发展。根据句意可知应填scientist“科学家”且由many修饰,故填名词复数形式scientists。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。gases为名词需要形容词修饰,故填harmful。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:他们的发展之后,早期贝类,各种鱼类,绿色植物和陆地动物。描述过去发生的事情应用一般过去时,且主语development与谓语动词构成被动关系。故填一般过去时的被动语态was followed。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:爬行动物通常通过产卵繁殖后代,而哺乳动物则生下幼小动物宝宝。根据下文mammals gave birth to young baby animals可知应用一般过去时,故填produced。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句连词。句意:他们消失的原因仍然是个谜。固定句型the reason why…
表示“……的原因”,reason后的句子为定语从句,从句缺状语,用关系副词why。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:但是他们向大气中排放了太多的二氧化碳,这阻止了热量从地球逃逸到太空。from为介词后跟动名词做宾语,故填escaping。
【46题详解】
考查连接词。句意:因此,地球上的生命能否继续将取决于如何解决这个问题。本句为主语从句,从句中不缺少成分,且表示“是否”,故填whether。
【点睛】名词性从句关键在于三点:一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句。二、连接词从句中充当的成分(主、宾、定或状语或不做任何成分)三、弄清楚每个连接词的意义。此外还要注意,近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。
如第1小题考查的是宾语从句,本句为宾语从句,且从句中缺少方式状语,故填how。
第10小题考查主语从句,从句中不缺少任何成分,由此可断定用that/if/whether,结合句意可知,需用表达“是否”意思的连接词,that无意义,因此断定用if/whether。
五、完成句子 (共7小题;每小题1分, 共7分)
根据每小题的中文提示,用恰当的词组完成英文句子。
47. 越来越多的青年人开始关注野生动物的保护。

48. 我对这首歌很熟悉。

50. remind Tom of the meeting
51. is earning/making his living // earns/makes his living
52. was/has been brought up/raised
53. had a gift for music
【解析】
考查重点短语。
【47题详解】
表示“对……关注;注意……”短语为pay attention to/attach importance to。
【48题详解】
表示“对……熟悉;了解”短语为be familiar with。本句主语为I,时态可用一般现在时或一般过去时,故填am/was familiar with。
【49题详解】
表示“期待;盼望”短语为look forward to。本句中时态可用一般现在时或现在进行时,故填look/are looking forward to。
【50题详解】
表示“提醒某人某事”短语为remind sb of sth.,且根据汉语句意故填remind Tom of the meeting。
【51题详解】
表示“谋生;维持生活”短语为earn/make one’s living,本句主语为young man,故应用his,时态可用一般现在或现在进行时,故填is earning/making his living或earns/makes his living。
【52题详解】
表示“抚养;养育”短语为bring up或raise。且根据上文he was a little child可知应用一般过去时或现在完成时,主语用谓语构成被动关系,故填was/has been brought up/raised。
【53题详解】
表示“对……有天赋”短语为have a gift for,且根据上文She was proud可知应用一般过去时,故填had a gift for music。

【答案】Dear Jim,
I’m happy to receive your letter and know that your school will have an exhibition on Asian festivals. I think you can introduce Chinese Spring Festival. The festival falls on the first day of the first lunar month.
We celebrate it with all kinds of activities. We hang red lanterns, post red couplets and go to temple fairs. On the Eve of the Spring Festival, we have feasts and eat dumplings while watching the Spring Festival Gala. And the most exciting moment for children is when they receive lucky money in red paper.
The reason why I recommend it is that of all the traditional Chinese festivals, the Spring Festival is the most important one. It is a precious time when Chinese families enjoy a reunion and celebrate the coming of spring and a new year.
I hope all these can help you. Wish you a successful activity.
Yours,
Li Hua
