2020届北师大版高考英语一轮复习：Unit1单元话题语篇训练（每单元3练）

Unit 1 单元话题·语篇训练 （每单元3练）‎ 课时练(一)　阅读理解组块专练——练速度 ‎(限时：35分钟)‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Kenny Li is waiting patiently at a coach terminus(终点站) in Kowloon on a misty and cold Hong Kong morning.‎ He is planning to have lunch in the city of Zhuhai, which on a normal day would take him about four hours to reach by road. But today the journey will take just over 30 minutes, because today is not a normal day.‎ Kenny is one of scores of passengers — including the correspondent (记者) — who are queuing for a seat on one of the first crossborder coaches to travel over the newlyopened Hong KongZhuhaiMacao Bridge.‎ The DS| 20bn, 55km bridge and 6.7km undersea tunnel link Hong Kong's Lantau island to Zhuhai on the southern coast of Guangdong Province and Macao. The mega structure is supported by three cablestayed bridges and designed to withstand typhoonforce winds.‎ It took more than eight years to build and, according to ambitious plans hatched (策划) in Beijing, will help form a hightech and economic region, namely Greater Bay Area, to rival New York, San Francisco and Tokyo bay areas.‎ But those lofty aims feel fairly irrelevant to the band of eager passengers who have assembled at the Kowloon coach terminus on Wednesday morning. This group wants something different from the HZMB, as it has become known. For just HK DS| 120 for a single trip ticket, we can be part of history.‎ ‎“I was the first person to get the ticket three days ago，” says Li, as he waits patiently for the coach to arrive.‎ Other passengers are similarly excited. YW Cheung and his wife bought the tickets on Sunday as soon as he heard about the news about coach companies running the bridge service.‎ ‎“I want to take the first coach to cross the bridge，” he said. “We will meet friends in Zhuhai and eat out with them, and then we will go to Macao.”‎ 语篇解读：港珠澳大桥是中国境内一座连接香港、珠海和澳门的桥隧工程。2018年10月24日大桥正式通车。本文主要报道了港珠澳大桥通车时人们期待乘坐长途公共汽车来往于三地的情景。‎ ‎1．Why is today different for Kenny Li?‎ A．Because it is a misty and cold day in the morning.‎ B．Because he has to wait patiently at a coach terminus.‎ C．Because the time to Zhuhai will be saved more.‎ D．Because he can have lunch in Zhuhai by road.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第二段可推知，对Kenny Li来说，今天之所以特殊是因为他可以乘坐贯穿港珠澳大桥的公共长途汽车，这大大地缩短了到珠海的时间，故选C。‎ ‎2．What is special for Hong KongZhuhaiMacao Bridge?‎ A．It can withstand typhoonforce winds.‎ B．A round trip ticket of the coach by it just costs HK ＄120.‎ C．It is irrelevant to passengers at the Kowloon coach terminus.‎ D．It is part of history, more brilliant than New York.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“The mega structure is supported by three cablestayed bridges and designed to withstand typhoonforce winds.”可推知，港珠澳大桥的特别之处在于其能承受台风，故选A。‎ ‎3．Where does this text probably come from?‎ A．A fashion magazine.　　　　 B．A history book.‎ C．A tourist brochure. D．A latest newspaper.‎ 解析：选D　文章出处题。根据全文的内容和语言风格可推知，本文是一篇新闻报道，主要报道了港珠澳大桥建成通车时的情形，由此可推知，本文可能出自一份最新的报纸，故选D。‎ B Three experimental fields of seawater rice were harvested in China on Wednesday, a further step toward its future practical use. Also known as salinealkali tolerant rice (耐盐碱水稻), the seawater rice is designed to grow in seaside flats or other areas with high salt content and has been developed by experts through crossbreeding (杂交) and other technologies.‎ One type of seawater rice growing in Qingdao's Chengyang district, Shandong Province, produced 3.9 metric tons (公吨) per hectare (公顷), experts announced. Once widely planted in large areas, the output could be much higher.‎ The Qingdao SalineAlkali Tolerant Rice Research and Development Center, led by renowned Chinese agricultural scientist Yuan Longping, was established several years ago. It set itself a threeyear target of developing a kind of saltresistant rice capable of producing 4.5 tons a hectare, which would guarantee growers the minimum acceptable level of profit. The average rice output in China is 6.75 tons a hectare.‎ Planting in the experimental field in Chengyang district and five other plots of salinealkali land started at the end of May. The five other plots were in Dongying,‎ ‎ Shandong Province; Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province; Yan'an, Shaanxi Province; Kashgar, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region; and Daqing, Heilongjiang Province. The sites represent actually every type of salinealkali land in China and researchers aim to grow different kinds of rice able to cope with different climate, salinity and soil structure conditions. ‎ The test crops in Kashgar and Daqing were also harvested on Wednesday. In Kashgar, the output reached more than 7.5 tons per hectare, according to experts' tests, much higher than expected. The harvest in Kashgar was satisfactory. The result means it is possible to plant such saltresistant rice in southern Xinjiang in the future. Xinjiang has about 2 million hectares of salinealkali land that have the potential to be planted with saltresistant rice, and if it is widely planted it will generally improve rice production in the region.‎ The seawater rice grown in Daqing only produced 3.1 tons per hectare. A live video on Shandong TV showed growers appearing a little disappointed by the result, as they hoped the experts' efforts would increase production greatly. The water and soil conditions of the site were not ideal, and the pH level was extremely high.‎ 语篇解读：2018年7月，青岛海水稻研发中心传来喜讯，袁隆平试种的包括“海水稻”在内的80多个水稻品种分批成熟。“海水稻”研究在国内外都有很长的一段历史，袁隆平领导的海水稻项目使中国技术处于海水稻研究的前列。‎ ‎4．Which is the main feature of seawater rice according to the text?‎ A．It has a shorter growing period.‎ B．It is a kind of highly productive crop.‎ C．It can grow in the soil with high salt content.‎ D．it is the combination of many technologies.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“the seawater rice is designed to grow in seaside flats or other areas with high salt content”可知，海水稻最大的优势是可以种植在含盐量高的土壤里 。‎ ‎5．How much rice does a farmer harvest at least to meet the cost?‎ A．3.9 tons a hectare. B．4.5 tons a hectare.‎ C．6.75 tons a hectare. D．7.5 tons a hectare.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“which would guarantee growers the minimum acceptable level of profit”可知，每公顷4.5吨的产量对种植者来说是最低的收益保障。‎ ‎6．The researchers chose the experimental fields according to ________.‎ A．the distance between them B．the type of the soil and climate C．the local governments' support D．the local agricultural conditions 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知，研究人员选择试验田的依据是气候、土壤的盐度和土壤结构。‎ ‎7．What can we infer about the seawater rice from the last paragraph?‎ A．The seawater rice is not fit for all kinds of salinealkali soils.‎ B．It is impossible for the seawater rice to have a good harvest.‎ C．Growers from Shandong Province were a little disappointed by the result.‎ D．The output of the seawater rice grown in Daqing is the lowest.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，海水稻并非适合所有的土壤。‎ C ‎(2019·济南模拟)Every ocean lover knows the dangers of getting caught in a rip current (离岸流). Experienced swimmers know it is relatively easy to escape the narrow channel of the fast moving water by floating and allowing it to drag you further into the ocean or by swimming alongside the shore. However, inexperienced beachgoers often panic, and try to swim to land, placing themselves at risk of drowning due to tiredness. According to the US National Ocean Service, the currents kill about 100 Americans each year and account for 80% of all lifeguard rescues. These scary statistics may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to Clever Girl, a smart buoy (浮标) that warns swimmers of the presence of deadly rip currents.‎ The smart device is the brainchild of Australian teenager Maddison King, who created Clever Girl as a project for her Grade 12 Design and Technology class. The 18yearold, who works as a lifeguard during her spare time, came up with the brilliant idea after discovering that most children were unable to detect rip currents.‎ The basketballsized plastic buoy, which can be attached to a chain of similar devices or the ocean floor, is fitted with a small propeller (螺旋桨). When the water travels at the speed of over 70 centimeters per second, it spins the propeller fast enough to power the light atop the buoy, warning swimmers to stay clear of the area.‎ Though it sounds simple enough, the youngster had to overcome numerous design challenges. For instance, she picked a red light since it is easy to see in the bright sunlight and also because the color serves as a universal warning sign for tourists that do not speak the local language. The device's smooth surface and high handles ensure swimmers do not get hurt, while the black, white, and red striped underside, keeps sharks and other animals at bay.‎ Future versions might include something like a warning siren, which would provide sound warnings of rip currents. Besides, the present model costs about ＄300 to make. “That's beyond my purse，” she laughs, “the cost has to be cut down.”‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。在海洋里游泳时，一些无经验的游泳者遇到高速离岸流时常常感到恐惧，并试图游向陆地，最终因疲劳而溺水身亡。受到做临时救生员的工作经历的启发，Maddison King发明了一种装置，能在离岸流达到一定速度时发出预警，从而避免人们误入高速洋流。‎ ‎8．Which of the following is the right way to escape the rip current?‎ A．Waiting for rescues.‎ B．Swimming to the shore.‎ C．Moving fast in the water.‎ D．Floating with the water.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，有经验的游泳者知道，通过在快速流动的水中漂浮，让流水带着身体流入海洋或沿着海岸游泳是逃离离岸流的有效方式，故D项正确。‎ ‎9．Why did Maddison decide to invent Clever Girl?‎ A．She wanted to challenge her creativity.‎ B．She was motivated by her working experience.‎ C．She was supposed to complete it for her class.‎ D．She was scared by the statistics of the government.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，18岁的Maddison King在业余时间做了一位救生员，她发现大多数孩子都无法察觉到离岸流，于是想出了这个绝妙的主意。据此可知，她的发明受到自己做救生员的工作经历的启发，故B项正确。‎ ‎10．What do we know about the present version of Clever Girl?‎ A．It's not available on the market.‎ B．It's quite attractive for sea animals.‎ C．It's based on a complex theory.‎ D．It can give warnings in different ways.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第一段可知，每年大约有100个美国人死于离岸流，但这些可怕的统计数据可能很快成为过去，这多亏了警告浮标装置——Clever Girl。结合最后一段可知，这种装置的成本很高，且未形成成品；据此可以判断，其目前版本还没有投放市场，故A项正确。‎ ‎11．What could the future version of Clever Girl be like?‎ A．Safer and greener.‎ B．Cheaper and safer.‎ C．Greener and more effective.‎ D．Cheaper and more effective.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句可知，这种产品目前的版本成本大约300美元，在将来成本可能下降；根据最后一段第一句可知，未来版本可能会装有警笛一类的东西以警告人们；据此可以判断，未来版本价格将降低，效果将更佳，故D项正确。‎ D Living among trees, plants and flowers can fill your life with beauty. And if you are a woman, it can also help you live longer.‎ Women who live in homes surrounded by plants appear to have lower death rates than women who live in areas with less green plants, according to a research.‎ Peter James and his team looked at information from one of the largest and oldest investigations of women's health: the Nurses' Health Study.‎ For the new study, the team looked at the death rates of more than 100,000 women between the years 2008 and 2015. Then the researchers compared the death rates of these women to the green plants around their homes. To determine the amount of trees and other vegetation (植被), researchers examined satellite images.‎ To make it more believable, the researchers considered other risk factors — things such as the age of the women, their economic status, and race. They also looked at whether or not the women smoked.‎ Peter James says he and his team were surprised to find such a strong link between high vegetation levels and low death rates. He adds they were also surprised to find how high levels of plant life can affect a woman's mental health.‎ The study suggests that living among vegetation lowered levels of depression. Researchers say women in greener areas spent more time with other people, exercised more and were less exposed to air pollution.‎ One of the biggest effects of greenery appeared to be a lowered risk of cancer. Here are some numbers. The study found that women living in the greenest areas had a 13 percent lower rate of dying from cancer.‎ James says that it is common knowledge that vegetation helps the environment in many ways. But, he adds, the new findings suggest ways for city planners, landscape architects and policymakers to grow even healthier living areas.‎ 语篇解读：植物对环境有很多益处。研究者认为，女性若住在四处环绕植物的地方，死亡率会较低、可以减轻抑郁以及降低患癌症的风险；而且还发现植物寿命长短可影响女性的心理健康。‎ ‎12．What's the author's purpose in writing the text?‎ A．To introduce the green environment and call on people to enjoy it.‎ B．To show women living in green areas are more likely to live long.‎ C．To show the relationship between animals and plants.‎ D．To give some tips on how to live long.‎ 解析：选B　写作目的题。文章第一段引出话题，第二段提出本文的主题——女性若住在四处环绕植物的地方，死亡率会较低，下文对此话题展开说明，并详细介绍了该研究是如何进行的。由此可推断，作者写作本文的目的是说明生活在绿色植物较多的区域的女性可能寿命更长。故选B项。‎ ‎13．How did the researchers make the research more convincing?‎ A．By studying more people.‎ B．By examining satellite images.‎ C．By taking more factors into account.‎ D．By cooperating with the Nurses' Health Study.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第五段第一句可知，为了使研究更有说服力，研究者考虑了很多因素。故选C项。‎ ‎14．When James found the connection between vegetation levels and death rates, he was ________.‎ A．excited　　　　　　　 B．unconcerned C．relieved D．surprised 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第六段第一句可知，当詹姆斯和他的团队发现高绿化率和低死亡率之间存在密切的联系时，他们很惊讶。故选D项。‎ ‎15．What can we learn from the text?‎ A．People are unlikely to develop cancer because of living with green plants.‎ B．People die from cancer more than from other diseases.‎ C．Living with green plants can help lower depression.‎ D．This finding is specially made for city planners.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据文章第七段第一句“The study suggests that living among vegetation lowered levels of depression.”可知，住在四处环绕植物的地方可以帮助减轻抑郁。故选C项。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 ‎(2019·押题卷七)Everybody wants to be happy. That's why the science of happiness has gained more attention in recent years. Researchers have started to produce reports on happiness around the globe. Researchers think that roughly 40% of our happiness is under our own control; the rest is determined by genes and external (外部的) factors. __16__ Here are some happinesspromoting behaviors.‎ Time beats money. A number of studies have shown that happier people prefer to have more time in their lives than more money. It seems that spending more time with the loved ones can make people more content. __17__ People's wellbeing rises along with income ‎ levels up to an annual salary of about $75,000, studies have found. That number probably varies depending on your cost of living, however.‎ ‎__18__ A major study followed hundreds of men for more than 70 years, and found the happiest and healthiest were those who developed strong relationships with people they trusted to support them.‎ Acts of kindness promote the mood. Give your friends a ride to the airport or spend an afternoon volunteering. __19__‎ Fun is more valuable than material things. __20__ Researchers have also found that buying things that allow you to have experiences — like rock climbing shoes or a new book to read — can also increase happiness.‎ A．Relationships are important.‎ B．We should always care about what we can do.‎ C．But it helps to have enough money to pay the bills.‎ D．Kind people tend to be more relaxed than unkind people.‎ E．That means there's a lot we can do to control our own happiness.‎ F．Some research has shown that people who perform such acts report being happier.‎ G．People tend to be happier if they spend their money on experiences instead of things. ‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何增加幸福感提供几点建议。‎ ‎16．解析：选E　根据空前一句可知，研究者认为，我们能控制大约40%的幸福，其余的取决于基因和外部因素。再根据下文介绍的几种增加幸福感的方法可知，E项“这意味着我们可以做很多事情来控制自己的幸福”在此起承上启下的作用，最符合语境。‎ ‎17．解析：选C　本段的前半部分内容讲到更快乐的人愿意在生活中拥有更多时间而不是更多金钱，以及花费更多时间与自己所爱之人在一起会使人们更满足。而本段的后半部分讲了人们的年薪达到大约$75 000时幸福感会增加。由此可见，有足够的钱花对人们的幸福有帮助，且空处前后存在转折关系，与选项C中的“But”呼应，故选C项。‎ ‎18．解析：选A　本段主要讲了最健康幸福的人是那些与他们相信能帮助自己的人建立了牢固关系的人。由此可知，A项“人际关系很重要”最适合作本段的主旨句。‎ ‎19．解析：选F　本段讲了善行可以提高人们的情绪，F项中的“such acts”指的就是空前的“Give your friends a ride to the airport”“spend an afternoon volunteering”，故选F项。‎ ‎20．解析：选G　根据本段的主旨句“有趣的经历比物质更珍贵”以及下文提到的花钱买一些能给自己带来经历的东西能使人们更开心可知，此处选G项“假如人们把钱花在一些经历上而不是物品上，他们往往会更幸福”。‎ 课时练(二)　语言知识运用组块专练 ‎——练准度 ‎(限时：30分钟)‎ Ⅰ.完形填空 ‎(2019·河北五校联考)A woman professor was giving a lesson to her students on __1__ management.
