9、s two dogs.【答案】1.A2.C3.B4.D【解析】本文为记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者家两只狗的故事。两只狗很淘气,经常在外面玩耍,回来时浑身是泥土和草叶。但有一次例外,两只狗回家还是干干净净的,后来作者从邻居那里获知其原因,它们去参加一只狗父亲的葬礼了。1词义猜测题。根据“always staying close to home”(总是呆在离家近的地方)可知,never straying是指从不乱走开,所以straying意为“走开,走失”,故选A项。2推理判断题。根据第一段“Lucky loved to find ways to leave the confines (束缚) of
10、 her indoor living Routine.Lily Bit,on the other hand,did exactly as she was told,never straying,always staying close to home.”(Lucky喜欢找方法摆脱室内生活的限制另一方面,Lily Bit却完全按照她被告知的去做,从不乱跑,总是呆在离家很近的地方。)可知,一个想办法摆脱束缚,而另一个服从,这说明它们的性格不一样。故选C项。3推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“More often than not,theyd arrive home near suppertime,co
11、vered in mud and leaves.”(通常,它们在晚饭前回到家,浑身是泥和树叶)可推断,它们回来时浑身是脏的。故选B项。4推理判断题。根据最后的对话“Wow thats amazing! my wife replied.Toby was Lily Bits father,you know.No,I didnt know that, Carl replied,but I guess that explains why she felt like she needed to be there.She had to say her final goodbye.”( “哇,太神奇了!”我
12、妻子回答说,“你知道,Toby是Lily Bit的父亲。”“不,我不知道,”卡尔回答,“但我想这就是为什么她认为她需要在那里。她必须作最后的告别。”)可知,这些说明狗也重感情。由此可推断,作者的写作目的是为了称赞自己的狗。故选D项。B(2020陕西省西安中学高三仿真考试一)The second little pig was unlucky.He built his house from sticks,which was blown away by a wolf.His brother,by contrast,built a wolf-proof house from bricks.The fa

24、uilders copied the wood-loving second pig.”可知,写三只小猪童话故事的作者很可能是建筑行业派来的一个托儿这个行业十分偏爱砖块、混凝土和钢材。然而,现实中,如果有更多建筑商效仿爱用木材的第二只小猪,那将有助于降低污染,减缓全球变暖。由此可知,首段提到童话故事是为了引出文章主题。故选D。6推理判断题。根据第二段“No other building material has environmental credentials (认证信息) as exciting and overlooked as wood.”可知,没有其他的建筑材料和木头一样有令人兴奋的被
25、人们忽略的环保认证信息。由此可知,第二段旨在告知人们木质材料在环保方面的独特优势。故选C。7细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Governments can help push the industry to use more wood,particularly in the public sectorthe construction industrys biggest client.That would help wood-building specialists achieve greater scale and lower costs.Zero-carbon building regulati
26、ons should be altered to take account of the emissions that are presented in materials.”可知,政府正通过强制开发商在建造新项目时满足“零碳”标准,来努力推行更为环保的生活工作方式。转变零碳建筑法规来考虑材料中的排放物。以及第四段中的“Construction codes could be regulated to make building with wood easier.”可知,建筑规范进行调整,以便使用木头建造更容易。由此可知,政府采取的措施不包括唤醒公众保护木头的意识。故选C。8推理判断题。根据第四
27、段中的“Grenfell Tower was covered in aluminium and plastic,not wood.Modern cross-laminated timber (交叉层叠木板) panels perform better in fire tests than steel ones do.”可知,格伦费尔大厦的外墙是铝和塑料,而不是木头。现代交叉层压木板在防火测试中比钢板表现更好。由此推知,作者可能暗示,格伦费尔大厦的高层建筑的外部本可以用木头建造。故选B。.七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有

43、不知道有问题时很难采取行动。分析句子可知,空处是形式主语,真正的主语是不定式to take action,形式主语用it充当。故填it。2考查副词。句意:之前的研究表明,儿童比成年人更积极参与,对气候变化的了解也更多。此处修饰动词engaged,应使用副词。故填actively。3考查时态和主谓一致。根据本句中“children are more”可知,此处也应使用一般现在时,主语adults是名词复数,所以be动词使用are。故填are。4考查非谓语动词。句意:为了验证这个想法,北卡罗来纳大学的社会科学家Danielle Lawson为孩子们和他们的父母开设了一门课程,在这门课程中,学生们被

45、孩子们,他们的父母也是如此。根据空前定冠词the可知,此处应填名词,awareness意识,不可数名词。故填awareness。8考查形容词。句意:这个研究表明年轻人的声音是多么有力量,这使我很兴奋看到孩子们对他们的父母产生多么大的影响。分析句子可知,how引导宾语从句,how表示程度,根据“young peoples voices can be”可知,此处应用形容词作表语。故填powerful。9考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子可知,空处引导一个非限制性定语从句,关系词指代主句内容,且在从句中作主语,应用which引导。故填which。10考查非谓语动词。句意:当谈到处理气候问题时,我认为孩子们有能力以我们还没有看到的方式把我们团结在一起。when it comes to意为“当谈到,一谈到”,to是介词,后接动词时应使用动名词形式。故填handling。
