Their descendants (后代) in Ecuador and Chile continue to grow the vegetable as high as 14,000 feel up in the Andes Mountains. (That's higher than any other food will grow.) Early Spanish and English explorers shipped potatoes to Europe, and they found their way to North America in the early 1600s.‎ People eat potatoes in many ways—baked, mashed, and roasted, to name just three. However, in the United States most potatoes are eaten in the form of French fries. One fastfood chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year. No wonder, then, that the company pays particular attention to the way its fries are prepared.‎ Before any fry makes it to the people who eat at these popular restaurants, it must pass many separate tests. Fail any one of these tests ‎ and the potato is rejected. To start with, only Russet Burbank potatoes are used. These Idaho potatoes have less water content than other kinds, which can have as much as 80 percent water. Once cut into “shoestrings” shapes, the potatoes are partly fried in a secret blend of oils, sprayed with liquid sugar to brown them, steam dried at high heat, then flash frozen for shipment to individual restaurants.‎ Before shipping, every shoestring is measured. Forty percent of a batch must be between two and three inches long. Another 40 percent has to be over three inches. What about the 20 percent that are left in the batch? Well, a few short fries in a bag are okay, it seems.‎ So, now that you realize the enormous size and value of the potato crop, you can understand why most people agree that this part of the food industry is no “small potatoes”．‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文介绍了土豆被引进美国的历史及炸薯条在美国食物产业中举足轻重的地位。‎ ‎5．Potatoes in North America came directly from ________.‎ A．Chile　　　　　　　‎ B．Europe C．Ecuador ‎ D．the Andes Mountains 解析：B　细节理解题。根据文中第一段最后一句“Early Spanish and English explorers shipped potatoes to Europe, and they found their way to North America in the early 1600s.”可知，北美最早的土豆来自欧洲。故选B项。‎ ‎6．Why does the company pay special attention to the way the fries are prepared?‎ A．Because selling fries is a big business.‎ B．Because fries are not easy to prepare at all.‎ C．Because Americans are particular about fries.‎ D．Because the government has a strict rule for that.‎ 解析：A　推理判断题。根据第二段的“One fastfood chain alone sells more than $ 1 billion worth of fries each year. No wonder, then, that the company pays particular attention to the way its fries are prepared.”可知，在美国，炸薯条是个很大的行业，所以会被特殊关注。故选A项。‎ ‎7．In the last paragraph, the writer mainly wants to say ________.‎ A．small potatoes cannot be used for fries B．potatoes are really important for Americans C．eating in America is the very first thing D．fries are really important for food industry 解析：D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的内容“this part of the food industry is no ‘small potatoes’”可知，在美国，炸薯条在食品产业中不是“小土豆”(无足轻重的东西)，由此可推测，炸薯条在食品产业占有重要的地位。故选D项。‎ ‎8．What is the main idea of this passage?‎ A．The average American eats 50 pounds of potatoes a year.‎ B．French fries are made from potatoes.‎ C．Potatoes are a key vegetable in America.‎ D．The various terms for potatoes have a long history.‎ 解析：C　主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，在美国，土豆可以有多种吃法，尤其是炸薯条，深受人们的欢迎，也因此带来了强大的商业利润，在食品产业中占有重要地位。因此，本文的主旨是，在美国土豆是很重要的蔬菜。故选C项。‎ C ‎(2018·广东佛山市检测)‎ The times are changing. On Thursday October 13th, singersongwriter Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, marking the first time the highlyeyedon literary award has gone to someone who is mainly seen as a musician, and giving rise to heated discussions.‎ The 75yearold won the prize “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”， the Swedish Academy said.‎ ‎“For 54 years he has been at it, reinventing himself，” said Sara Danius, the academy's permanent secretary. “Bob Dylan writes poetry for the ear. But it's perfectly fine to read his works as poetry.”‎ And while many Dylan's fans have found great delight at the news，others online and in the literary community are cross with the Committee, saying the award has skipped over fiction writers for the second year.‎ New York Times Book Review editor Pamela Paul said it was good news but pointed out how many “deserving” novelists there are.‎ Director Martin Scorsese put out a statement saying he was “overjoyed” that Dylan was awarded the prize.‎ ‎“Dylan's poetry, his musical genius, has meant so much to me personally and to generations of people around the world，” Scorsese said. “His work has influenced and shaped culture, and he has never stopped exploring and growing as an artist. The Nobel Committee has given Dylan a form of recognition that fits his role in our culture—in world culture.”‎ Dylan won a Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for his “great influence on popular music and American culture”. He's the first American to win the ‎ literary Nobel since Toni Morrison in 1993.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　作为一名歌手，鲍勃·迪伦获得诺贝尔文学奖的消息让很多人大感意外，从而引发热议。‎ ‎9．Why does Bob Dylan's winning the Nobel Prize cause heated discussions?‎ A．He created poetic expressions.‎ B．He is known as a musician.‎ C．He reinvents himself.‎ D．He is 75 years old.‎ 解析：B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“... marking the first time the highlyeyedon literary award has gone to someone who is mainly seen as a musician...”可知，正是因为鲍勃·迪伦是一位歌手，所以获得诺贝尔文学奖才引发热议。故选B项。‎ ‎10．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part in Paragraph 4?‎ A．Are thankful to.‎ B．Are satisfied with.‎ C．Are angry with. ‎ D．Are worried about.‎ 解析：C　词义猜测题。第四段开头的“And while many Dylan's fans have found great delight at the news”中“while”表示“尽管”，引导让步状语从句，所以后面的“others online and in the literary community are cross with the Committee”中的“are cross with”与“found great delight”意思应该相反。再根据最后的“saying the award has skipped over fiction writers for the second year”可判断，are cross with应表示“对……生气”，而不是D项中的“担心……”。故选C项。‎ ‎11．What can we know about Dylan according to Martin Scorsese?‎ A．Dylan influences Martin a lot.‎ B．Dylan is happy with the award.‎ C．Dylan is a poet rather than a musician.‎ D．Dylan benefits a lot from world culture.‎ 解析：A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Dylan's poetry, his musical genius, has meant so much to me personally and to generations of people around the world”可知，鲍勃·迪伦对他影响很大。故选A项。‎ ‎12．What is the passage mainly about?‎ A．A brief introduction to Bob Dylan.‎ B．The reason for Bob Dylan's success.‎ C．Bob Dylan's influence on American culture.‎ D．Different views on Bob Dylan's winning the Nobel Prize.‎ 解析：D　主旨大意题。文章开头就点明了鲍勃·迪伦获得诺贝尔文学奖引起了热议，接着说明了不同的人对此事的不同态度。故选D项。‎ D ‎(2018·辽宁大连双基测试)‎ Whenever we see a button, we want to press it because we know that something will happen. This is true in most cases, for example, on a doorbell. But some buttons are actually fake (假的), like the “close” button on a lift.‎ Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don't have the patience to wait. But lifts' “close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the US—the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.‎ It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter safely. Only repair workers can use the buttons to speed up the doorclosing process if they have special keys.‎ But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren't completely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.‎ ‎“A sense of control is very important. It reduces stress and increases wellbeing，” said Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor at Harvard University. Experts also added that a lot of buttons that don't do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.‎ For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don't live up to their names either. Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computercontrolled traffic signals were introduced.‎ But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”， they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了我们平时生活中所见到的按钮可能是不起作用的。‎ ‎13．What is the author's purpose in writing the text?‎ A．To describe different fake buttons.‎ B．To explore the functions of fake buttons.‎ C．To analyze various habits of pushing buttons.‎ D．To explain the disadvantages of fake buttons.‎ 解析：‎ B　推理判断题。通读整篇文章可知，作者通过举例子介绍了不同地点的虚假按钮，其目的是探求这些虚假按钮的功能。故选B。‎ ‎14．What can we learn about the “close” buttons on a lift in America?‎ A．They work when people press them hard.‎ B．They were designed for a sense of control.‎ C．They never speed up the doorclosing process.‎ D．They take the safety of the disabled into account.‎ 解析：D　细节理解题。根据第三段第一句中的“...making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter safely.”可知，美国电梯里的“关闭”按钮是为了确保残疾人能安全地通过。‎ ‎15．What can we infer about pedestrian crosswalk buttons?‎ A．They can make people feel better.‎ B．They help computers work faster.‎ C．They can control the traffic signals.‎ D．They help pedestrians cross safely.‎ 解析：A　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“...fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.”和第六段中的“For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don't live up to their names either.”可知，人行横道按钮也没有实现其功能，但可以让人们感觉好一点，故选A。‎ ‎16．Which may be the best title for the passage?‎ A．Buttons in the USA B．Buttons Always Lie C．Buttons May Not Work D．“Close” Buttons on Lifts 解析：C　标题判断题。通读全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了有些按钮只是形式上的，而不具备真正的实际功能。故C项“按钮可能不起作用”最符合文章主旨。‎ Ⅱ.七选五 ‎(2018·辽宁大连双基测试)‎ Of all the things that can be stolen from you—your possessions, your youth, your health, your words, your rights—what no one can ever take from you is... ‎ ‎●How you feel about yourself.‎ It takes a long time to learn how to NOT judge yourself through someone else's eyes. __1__.‎ ‎●Your attitude towards life.‎ The last of your freedoms is to choose your attitude in any given circumstance.
