Yours, Li Hua (建议用时:40分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2020·大连高三一模)Emilia Dobek traces her interest in space and the universe back to third grade when she and her father watched a blood moon—a total lunar eclipse(月食)—on the roof of their house. Now a seventh grader at East Prairie Elementary School, Dobek recently won the national Discovery Education Lockheed Martin Beyond Challenge by designing a space 22 station for travelling to Mars. She says that night watching the lunar eclipse started a strong desire in her that has yet to run out of fuel. So when her teacher Andrea Smeeton received information about the national challenge, Smeeton said she immediately had one student in mind. “I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her search,” Smeeton said. “She immediately started researching bone density(密度) of astronauts and how to have food on Mars.” “My design will ensure the safety of the astronauts but also make sure their comfort is out of this world,” Dobek says. Dobek’s design calls for building the MSS or Mars Storage Station to put the supplies in. It also includes the SGF or SelfGrowing Farm, and she details how it would work with the elements on Mars. Then there is physical and leisure activity for the astronauts under Dobek’s design. A simulator(模拟装置) allows astronauts to choose their exercise machine and virtual reality environment. Rooms have circular ceilings so astronauts will be able to watch downloaded shows and even see places on Earth, such as their homes. “I want to tell other kids to follow their passions,” Dobek said. “Whatever they want to do, they should push for it and always try their best.” 【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了小学生Emilia Dobek设计太空站,并赢得挑战的相关内容。 1.Dobek first became interested in space when ________. A.she was still a seventh grader B.she studied at a junior high school C.she lived on the top of their house D.she watched an eclipse of the moon D 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段“Emilia Dobek traces her interest in space and the universe back to third grade when she and her father watched a blood moon—a total lunar eclipse(月食)—on the roof of their house.”可知,Dobek对太空感兴趣是从她在三年级时的一个晚上观看的一次月食开始的。 2.Smeeton recommended that Dobek take the challenge because ________. A.she knew Dobek liked challenges in life B.she had no other students interested in Mars C.Dobek knew how to research bone density of astronauts 22 D.she was sure that Dobek would have outstanding performance D 解析:推理判断题。根据第四段Smeeton的话可推知,她对Dobek很了解,对其可以接受这项挑战并出色完成充满信心。 3.What does Dobek focus on when designing the space station? A.The environment on Mars. B.The safety of the supplies. C.The activities for astronauts. D.The comfort of the astronauts. D 解析:推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“make sure their comfort is out of this world”并结合对倒数第二段的整体理解可推知,Dobek的设计包含身体和休闲活动,让宇航员在太空中也感到舒适。 【难句分析】 Whatever they want to do, they should push for it and always try their best. 分析:本句是一个主从复合句。whatever=no matter what,引导让步状语从句,意为“无论什么”。 译文:无论他们想做什么,他们都应该尽力实现它,并且总是竭尽全力。 B (2020·贵阳高三摸底)Many of us think, wrongly, that the moon doesn’t change. For example, the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu once wrote that “Generations have come and passed away; From year to year the moons look alike, old and new.” However, a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience shows that the moon is in fact slowly shrinking over time. For the study, a group of US scientists examined and analyzed thousands of photographs taken by the NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera(月球勘测轨道飞行器照相机). They found that there were lots of faults(断层) on the surface of the moon. These faults were formed by recent movement on the moon. According to NASA, the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core. The moon continued to expand as it was born. But in this process, it released energy and cooled down. Then it began to shrink, in a way comparable to the shrinking of a grape into a raisin. Over the past several hundred million years, it has become 46 meters “skinnier”. But due to its hard and rocky layer, the moon’s surface continues to push up. “Some of these quakes can be fairly strong, around five on the Richter scale(里氏震级),” said Thomas Watters, a senior scientist at the 22 Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in the US. But does that mean the moon is a dangerous place that human shouldn’t try to explore and live on in the future? Maybe not, reported The Telegraph. “This isn’t anything to worry about. The moon may be shrinking, but not by much. It’s not going anywhere,” Watters comforted us. The new discovery proves that the idea that the moon is a dead, boring place is wrong. “We have been to the moon and we’ve done some great science, but there is still a lot we don’t know. The moon is shrinking—we didn’t really realize that until recently. It’s a much more active and interesting place than we thought and we should explore that,” NASA scientist Nathan Williams said. 【解题导语】 月球并非如唐代诗人张若虚在诗中描绘的那样是亘古不变的。一项最新的科学研究表明,月球正在随着时间慢慢地缩小。此外,这项研究还表明月球还有许多我们不了解的东西,它是一个比我们认为的更活跃、更有意思的地方,我们应该探索它。 4.Which point of view about the moon may the writer agree to? A.It stays the same as before. B.It is becoming slightly smaller. C.It is getting older and older. D.It has passed away. B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“However, a new study...shows that the moon is in fact slowly shrinking over time.”可知,一项新的发表在《自然·地球科学》上的研究表明,月球正在随着时间慢慢地缩小,据此可知B项正确。 5.What can we learn about the moon from the third paragraph? A.It has become 46 meters fatter due to expanding. B.It has changed from a grape into a raisin in recent years. C.It quakes even at seven on the Richter scale. D.It has a hot core and releases energy during expanding. D 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段前三句中的“the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core. The moon continued to expand as it was born.But in this process, it released energy”可知,月球由带有一个热核的岩石块组成,当它形成时月球在持续膨胀,在这个过程中它会释放能量,故D项正确。 6.Who thinks that we needn’t worry about the moon? A.Zhang Ruoxu. B.Thomas Watters. C.Nathan Williams. 22 D.The journalist. B 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中Thomas Watters说的话“This isn’t anything to worry about...It’s not going anywhere”可知,Thomas Watters认为我们不必担心月球,尽管月球在缩小,但它并没有缩小很多,故B项正确。 7.What does Nathan Williams think of the moon? A.It is a dead and boring place. B.It has lots of faults on the surface. C.It is valuable to do more science. D.It isn’t a place where we can live. C 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中Nathan Williams说的话“We have been to the moon and we’ve done some great science...we should explore that”可知,Nathan Williams认为月球有许多我们不了解的东西,值得我们去探索,据此可推知,他认为研究月球是有价值的,故C项正确。 【难句分析】 The new discovery proves that the idea that the moon is a dead, boring place is wrong. 分析:该句为主从复合句。句中“that the idea that the moon is a dead, boring place is wrong”为that引导的宾语从句,其中“that the moon is a dead, boring place”为that引导的同位语从句,作the idea的同位语。 译文:新的发现证明“月球是一处死气沉沉的无聊之地”这一说法是错误的。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2020·武汉高三训练)It’s 27 years since my last conversation with my mother, who didn’t finish school like many of her contemporary girls.
