91、takes on words that have the same meaning.可知Henning发现，英语熟练程度较低的学生在发音相似的单词上犯的错误更多;熟练程度高的学生在相同意思的单词上犯的错误更多。由此可知，从Henning的研究结果我们可以看出，初学者在区分单词的发音方面有困难。故选B。11主旨大意题。通读全文，可知文章主要描述了一个记忆测试的实验，根据最终的结论初学者单词的声音保持短期记忆，而程度高的学生能把单词的意义短时记忆。可知文章的中心是短期记忆。故选C。【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为 定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用re
92、fer to, be called或thats to say, such as等。 逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。 语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。 语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。 指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容
93、，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。如第二小题，根据第二段中The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students.可知他实验的对象为75名大学生，可推测出subject是指参与实验的学生，故选B。DStarbucks founder, Howard Schultz, came up with an idea for his coffee chain while drinking espresso (浓咖啡)in a ba

103、13D14B15A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章以星巴克为开篇引入了文章主题意大利的咖啡文化，作者和大多数意大利人一样，认为意大利代表着咖啡文化的高度，与所有咖啡的标准相比，意大利的咖啡应该是标准的。说明了意大利咖啡的特色以及星巴克咖啡不适合意大利人。12推理判断题。根据第一段中But to many Italians, the coffee served by Starbucks and other branded stores is as far away from proper Italian coffee as you can get, despite the Italian-s
104、ounding offerings on their menus.可知但是对很多意大利人来说，星巴克和其他品牌的咖啡和你能买到的正宗意大利咖啡相差太远，尽管他们的菜单上有意大利风味。由此可知，第一段讲述星巴克的故事的目的是引入文章的主题。故选A。13细节理解题。根据第二段中As far as Im concerned, the cappuccinos, lattes and espressos served in branded coffee chains taste bitter, a low copy of the real thing.可知据我所知，品牌咖啡连锁店提供的卡布奇诺、拿铁和意

As far as Im concerned, the cappuccinos, lattes and espressos served in branded coffee chains taste bitter, a low copy of the
106、real thing.可知我家里有一台咖啡机，它对于意大利厨房就像水壶对于英国厨房一样重要。据我所知，品牌咖啡连锁店提供的卡布奇诺、拿铁和意式浓缩咖啡尝起来很苦，是正宗的低仿品。由此可推知，意大利人更喜欢在家煮咖啡，因为他们可以在家里煮出正宗的意大利咖啡。故选B。15推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Whats more, Italians dont waste time around in coffee shop armchairs drinking cappuccinos while surfing the Internet.可知更重要的是，意大利人不会把时间浪费在咖啡店的扶手椅上，一边喝着卡布
107、奇诺一边上网。由此可推知，星巴克咖啡不适合意大利人。故选A。【点睛】隐含意义推理判断题。这类题的题干中常含有：infer/suggest/imply/conclude/intend/purpose/be likely to等标志性词语。解决这类问题时要理解文章潜在的含义和作者所给的提示。同时，要对文章的含义和作者的暗示作出合理的猜测和推断。如第四小题，根据倒数第二段中Whats more, Italians dont waste time around in coffee shop armchairs drinking cappuccinos while surfing the Interne

However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I ar
140、rived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very help
141、ful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chic
142、ks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all!
143、 The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.4. What is

146、作者救助一只小猫头鹰，给它做新的窝，帮助它回到父母身边的故事。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain.可知，救助受伤动物是令人心碎的，因为不知道救助的动物是否能活下去，也就是为救助动物而花费的努力可能会白费，这是不可避免的。故选A。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived,
147、I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl可知，有人给作者打电话是因为有只小猫头鹰掉在地上了，作者赶过去看看情况。文中并没有说小猫头鹰受伤了，作者只是过去看情况，所以D选项错误。故选C。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down可知，在作者把小猫头鹰放在窝里之后，它很快就安静下来，所以是窝让小猫头鹰安静下来的。故选A。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据前文描述可知，作者为小猫头鹰做了窝，并且帮助它找回了它的父母。小猫头鹰的父母还为它带回了午餐。作者的救助成功了，说明结局是美
148、好的。再结合第一段的However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.可推测，作者感觉很美好。故选B。CSome people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: international contests encoura
149、ge false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the incident of tragedy involving murders of
150、 athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, as the losers disagreed with the final decis
151、ions. They believed that one of their goals should have been allowed and that their opponents victory was unfair. Their manager was in great anger when he said: “This isnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behav
152、ior could result in the suspension(停赛) of the team for at least three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable(有争议的) end to their contest. The game had ended in disorder. It was thought at first that the United States had won by
153、 a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the US had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury (评审委员会)
154、 debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athlet
155、es should compete as individuals or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism (爱国主义).8. According to the author, recent Olympic Games have _.A. created goodwill between the nations
156、B. hardly showed any international friendshipC. caused only false national prideD. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred9. What did the manager mean by saying, “.Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”?A. Hockey and the Federation are ruined by the unfair decisions.B.
157、 His team would no longer take part in international games.C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.D. The Federation should be ended.10.

158、ghting for the first place.C. Any team that has disrespectful behavior should be suspended.D. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D【解析】这是一篇议论文。人们总是认为体育赛事能够增进人们之间的情感，使人能够友好互助，但是很多的国际赛事没有达到此目的，相反人们相互误解甚至憎恨。奥运会也不例外，为了改变这种状况，奥运会机构必须要改进。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段的句子but in rece
159、nt years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood.“但近年来，奥运会在支持体育促进国际友谊方面收效甚微。”可知在最近几年的奥运会上，几乎没有表现出任何国际友谊。故选B。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段的句子There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, as the losers disagreed with the final decisions.
160、 They believed that one of their goals should have been allowed and that their opponents victory was unfair.Their manager was in great anger when he said: “This isnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.”曲棍球比赛结束时，由于输球的一方不同意最后的裁决，场面十分吵闹。他们认为他们的一个进球应该被允许，而他们的对手的胜利是不公平的。他
161、们的经理非常生气，他说:“这不是曲棍球。曲棍球和国际曲棍球联合会就此结束。由此判断出，曲棍球和联盟被这些不公平的决定给毁了。故选A。【10题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段中Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game“只要体育运动是竞争性的，而不是出于对比赛的热爱，此类事件就会继续发生”。和But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far t
162、oo much that encourages aggressive patriotism (爱国主义).“但在目前的奥运会组织中，鼓励激进的爱国主义的东西太多了。”可知“奥运会机构必须要改进”可以最好地概括这篇文章。故选D。（5）湖北省十堰市第一中学2020-2021学年高一下学期期中英语试题阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上写出。AHow to Be a WinnerSir Steven RedgraveWinner of 5 Olympic Gold MedalsIn 1997 I was found to have developed

170、g hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I cant achieve something.可知，当事情变难的时候，脑海里就有一个声音告诉我，我成就不了一些事情；根据最后一部分的The key is to concentrate.可知，关键是专注。由此可以推测出来，专注之后，脑海里出现的其他声音，都不能影响自己做的事。因此，distractions的意思是转移某人注意力的事物，故选C。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第二部分I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of work
171、load by putting it on top of my diary.可知，我一天游4个小时，一周六个小时。我通过把它写作日记的最上方来管理这种运动安排。由此可知，Karen Pickering日记里最前面是她的训练计划。故选A。【33题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一部分In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病). Believing my career was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why
172、I should stop training and competing. That was it the encouragement I needed.可知，1997年，我发现自己患了糖尿病。认为我的事业结束了，我觉得很失望。一个专家说，我没理由停止训练和竞赛。那正是我需要的鼓励。由此可以看出，他克服了疾病的阴影；根据第一部分Sir Steven Redgrave Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals可知，Sir Steven Redgrave获得了成功。因此，主 Sir Steven Redgrave主要要谈论的是，他克服了疾病的阴影，取得了成功。故选D。【34题
173、详解】细节理解题。根据第一部分I could still be a winner if I believed in myself.可知，如果相信自己，我依然是赢家；根据第二部分Trust yourself可知，要相信自己；根据第三部分It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. 可知，它让我感觉更有控制力，增强了我的信心。因此，三个人的共同点是自信。故选D。【点睛】在做有小标题的阅读时，可以用“找读”的办法，省时而且准确。比如第2小题根据题干中的Karen Pickering 和 top of her diary可以

In addition, colleges and universities must ensure their support services are in place and working as best they can.”可知，Acosta说助推运动的消息必须及时，这意味着它们要在要求采取行动的日期之前很早就到达大学生。此外，推文应该写清楚并提供尽可能多的信息。如果学生开始在课堂上遇到困难，学校官员们不仅仅是向他们发送信息，还要告诉他们应该寻求学术支持。该信息还应该提供有关学院或大学提供何种支持以
252、及学生将如何利用它们的确切信息。即“助推运动”应该具有互动性。例如，学生应该能够问学校官员问题或直接到网站获取更多信息。此外，学院和大学必须确保他们的支持服务到位并尽其所能做好服务。由此判断出，C项（Smith博士是英国文学教授，每周四下午3点至6点有空，请致电210-432-67进行预约。）可以通过助推来使用。故选C。CSlowly but surely, were moving closer and closer to 5G world.

351、 employable, helps you make new friends, and its fun too. But to improve our language skills, many of us have to endure hours of school lessons or evening classes, with our heads buried in textbooks. Its no wonder that technology appears to be providing a better and more accessible way of learning.T
352、here is certainly a huge demand for language learning, and having a smart phone means you can have a virtual teacher with you wherever you go. Many app developers are keen to earn money on the demand, and there are numerous learning apps available. Some educational apps offer languages not popular e
353、nough to be taught at evening classes, or at most universities. And others offer “invented” language courses in Esperanto, Elvish and Star Treks Klingon lessons you might not find in a traditional classroom. Whatever you want to learn, apps allow you to go at your own pace and fit learning around ot

But theyre not perfect you might not get your head round the grammar and will lack the partner support you could get in a classroom environment.So, does technology imply the end of traditional classrooms and teachers? Guy Baron, head of modern languages at Aberystwyth University, th

And he adds: “The apps are not formal. theyre not designed for degrees, but they could be additional resources.”Certainly, technology is going to help in and outside the classroom. But
356、 attending a real lesson, facing a real teacher, probably forces you to be more devoted.

359、fresh-cut flowers, do you think about where they came from? It might make sense to think they were grown somewhere nearby. The reality, though, is that the cut flower trade is increasingly international. Today, thanks to airplanes and high-tech cooling systems, even the most delicate flower can be e
360、xported, and sold in a florist thousands of kilometers away from where it was grown.The country that dominates the world cut flower trade is the Netherlands. It handles about 60 percent of the worlds cut flowers. The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower varieties. Dutch compan

Their scientists look for ways to lengthen a flowers vase life, to strengthen flowers to prevent them from being damaged while traveling, and also to strengthen the natural fragrance of the flowers.Despite the Netherlan

The industry has brought employment op portunities and a stronger economy to regions of the country. “My family has TV now. There are radios,” says Yolanda Quishpe, 20, who picked roses for four years.To others, the increasi
364、ngly international nature of the flower trade is very bad news. In recent years, local growers in the U.S. faced huge competition from international flower companies, and many lost their businesses. Lina Hale, an independent rose grower in California, said her father had predicted the situation. “I

377、ical fact: we humans should have a lot more cancer than mice, but we dont.Dr. Petos argument was simple. Every time a cell divides, theres a small chance it will gain a mutation(突变) that speeds up its growth. Cells that accumulate (聚集) several of these mutations may become cancerous. The bigger an a
378、nimal is, the more cells it has, and the longer an animal lives, the more times its cells divide. We humans undergo (经历) about 10,000 times as many cell divisions as miceand thus should be far more likely to get cancer.A number of scientists have assumed that large, long-lived animals must have evol
379、ved extra cancer-fighting weapons. Otherwise, these species would die out.Dr. Joshua DSchiffman, an oncologist (肿瘤学家）at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, reviewed zoo records on the deaths of 644 elephants and found that less than 5 percent died of cancer. By contrast, 11 percent to 25 percent of human
380、s die of cancer.To understand the elephants defenses, the scientists investigated a gene that is vital to preventing cancer called p53. The protein encoded by the gene monitors cells for damage to the DNA they contain. Dr. Schiffman and his colleagues found that elephants have evolved new copies of
381、the p53 gene. While humans have only one pair of p53 genes, the scientists identified 20 pairs in elephants.To see whether these extra copies of p53 made a difference in fighting cancer, they ran experiments on elephant cells. They treated elephant cells with damaging radiation, chemicals and UV lig
382、ht.“In all cases, instead of trying to repair the damage, the elephant cells simply committed suicide” said Dr. Schiffman. He said he thought the way the elephant cells responded was a very effective way to block cancer.Patricia Muller, an oncologist at the MRC Toxicology Unit at the University of L
383、eicester, who was not involved in the studies, said the results, though convincing, didnt firmly establish exactly how elephants use p53 to fight cancer. One possibility is that the extra copies dont actually cause cells to commit suicide. Instead, they may act as decoys (诱饵) for enzymes (酶) that de

388、型动物很多，本文以大象为研究对象，研究出大象身上有一种对预防癌症至关重要的基因p53，但并不能确切地确定大象是如何利用p53来对抗癌症的，人类能否使用p53来抗癌还需进一步研究。4主旨大意题。由第二段的句子“We humans undergo (经历) about 10,000 times as many cell divisions as miceand thus should be far more likely to get cancer.”可知，我们人类经历的细胞分裂次数是老鼠的10000倍，因此患癌症的可能性要大得多。所以第二段想告诉我们人类比老鼠更容易患癌症。故选A项。5细节理解题
389、。由第五段的句子“To understand the elephants defenses, the scientists investigated a gene that is vital to preventing cancer called p53.”可知，为了了解大象的防御能力，科学家们研究了一种对预防癌症至关重要的基因p53。所以p53是抵抗癌症的基因。故选B项。6细节理解题。由题干extra copies of p53定位到第六、七段。第六段讲对大象额外的p53基因做实验；由第七段的句子“In all cases, instead of trying to repair the d
390、amage, the elephant cells simply committed suicide”可知，在所有情况下，大象额外的p53基因细胞并没有试图修复损伤，而是自杀了。故选D项。7细节理解题。由第五段的最后一句“While humans have only one pair of p53 genes, the scientists identified 20 pairs in elephants.”可知，虽然人类只有一对p53基因，但科学家在大象身上发现了20对。故选C项。CBusinesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has i
