2015屆高考英語模擬試題

　　2015屆高三英語復(fù)習(xí)：Unit 1　Great Scientists

　�、�.語法單句填空

　　1.We have come to the ________(conclude) that it would be unwise to accept his idea.

　　答案：conclusion　考查名詞詞義。句意：我們得出結(jié)論接受他的想法非明智之舉。come to the conclusion“得出結(jié)論”。

　　2.Children________(expose) to difficult situations are better at handling those________(challenge) tasks.

　　答案：exposed;challenging　考查非謂語動詞。句意：暴露在困難處境中的孩子更容易處理那些富有挑戰(zhàn)性的工作。第一空選exposed，因為expose與前面的the children構(gòu)成邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系，所以選過去分詞;第二空challenging意為“挑戰(zhàn)性的”。

　　3.________(blame) for the terrible accident, the director felt nervous and was at a loss what to do.

　　答案：Being to blame　be to blame“該受責(zé)備，應(yīng)承擔(dān)責(zé)任”，此處指主管為這起重大事故負(fù)責(zé)，be to blame是固定用法，不用于被動語態(tài)。

　　4.The number of the foreign tourists to visit the US is expected to be more than 2 million by 2015, ________(contribute) 14 billion dollars to the US economy.

　　答案：contributing　考查非謂語動詞。句意：到2015年為止到美國的游客數(shù)目有望超過兩百萬，會對美國經(jīng)濟(jì)貢獻(xiàn)140億美元�，F(xiàn)在分詞短語在句中作結(jié)果狀語。

　　5.— What are the workers talking about?

　　—They are discussing the idea the old worker put ________ at the meeting yesterday.

　　答案：forward　考查動詞短語。句意：——工人們在談?wù)撌裁?——他們在討論那位老工人昨天在會上提出的想法。put forward“提出”，符合句意。

　　6.In the following two hours, she was ________(absorb) in film, so she didn't notice what happened around her.

　　答案：absorbed　考查動詞短語意義。句意：在接下來的兩個小時里，她在專心看電影，因而沒有注意到周圍所發(fā)生的事情。be absorbed in sth.“全神貫注于某事”。

　　7.Emily felt very sad that she was suspected ________providing false statements in court.

　　答案：of　考查動詞搭配。suspect sb. of (doing) sth.“懷疑某人做了某事”。

　　8.Shenzhou Ⅸ spacecraft, ________(send) up into space on June 16, 2012, docked with Tiangong­1 successfully.

　　答案：sent　考查過去分詞作定語。因為神舟九號和送入太空之間存在被動關(guān)系，而且動作已經(jīng)完成，所以用send的過去分詞表完成和被動。

　　9.The new suspension bridge ________(design) by the famous architect is ________construction now.

　　答案：designed; under　考查動詞詞義及短語搭配。句意：這位著名的建筑師設(shè)計的新懸浮橋正在建設(shè)之中。句中design與suspension bridge之間是動賓關(guān)系，故第一個空用designed，相當(dāng)于which was designed;under construction“在建設(shè)中”為固定結(jié)構(gòu)。

　　10.________ if these experiments were successfully completed would we think of going into humans.

　　答案：Only　考查短語。句意：只有當(dāng)這些實驗都成功完成后，我們才能考慮在人身上實驗。only if“只有當(dāng)……”。

　　Ⅱ.閱讀理解

　　Talking plants might sound like characters in a fairy tale. But recent scientific studies have shown that plants communicate with each other and with other living things in a surprising number of ways. To understand them, scientists say, we just have to learn their language. Farmers are especially interested in what plants have to say.

　　“Plants are able to communicate with all sorts of organisms (有機體). They can communicate with giant bacteria, with other plants and with insects. They do this chemically，” said Cahill, an Ecology Professor of the University of Alberta in Canada.

　　Plant scientists are just beginning to understand this chemical “language”. Cahill says studies have shown, for example, that plants can evaluate conditions in their immediate environment and take appropriate actions. Plants have an ability, for example, to signal pain or discomfort caused by anything from temperature extremes to an insect attack. Jack Schultz, a professor of chemical ecology at the University of Missouri, says when a plant senses that it's being eaten, it cannot walk away from trouble; on the contrary, it will release a chemical vapor that alerts other plants nearby.

　　“Their language is a chemical language, and it involves chemicals that move through the air that are easy to be changeable, and most of all are smells that we are familiar with，” Schultz explained.

　　“All plants responded to the attack by changing their chemistry to defend themselves，” Schultz recalled. “But we were quite surprised to find that nearby plants also changed their chemistry to defend themselves, even though they were not part of the experiment.”

　　Studies have also shown that plants under attack release pleasant chemicals. Those chemicals attract friendly insects that attack the pests eating the plant.

　　In the end, plants' ability to communicate their needs—and our ability to understand them—could help farmers reduce the use of poisonous chemicals, cut operating costs and limit damage to the environment.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇科普類文章，主要講述了“植物的特殊語言”及功能，以及這種特殊語言對農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)可能產(chǎn)生的指導(dǎo)意義。

　　1.The recent scientific studies have shown that plants can ______.

　　A.communicate with other living things in a chemical way

　　B.hardly react to any sudden change in temperature

　　C.use a very special chemica1 language which is familiar to us

　　D.respond to the attack by giving off poisonous chemicals

　　答案：A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段中的“Plants are able to communicate with all sorts of organisms (有機體)... They do this chemically.”可知，植物能夠與其他生物通過化學(xué)方式進(jìn)行交流。故答案選A。

　　2.When being eaten by an insect, the plant will ________.

　　A.walk away from trouble

　　B.change its chemistry to kill the insect

　　C.release a chemical vapor to “ask” other plants for help

　　D.give off nice chemicals to attract friendly insects killing the pest

　　答案：D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段中的“when a plant senses that it's being eaten... on the contrary, it will release a chemical vapor...”以及文章倒數(shù)第二段中的“Those chemicals attract friendly insects that attack the pests eating the plant.”可知，當(dāng)植物被昆蟲吞食的時候，植物會釋放一種化學(xué)蒸汽，這種化學(xué)蒸汽能夠吸引有益的昆蟲來襲擊害蟲。故答案選D。

　　3.The underlined word “alert” most probably means “______”.

　　A.warn　　　　　　　　　 B.protect

　　C.threaten D.allow

　　答案：A　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上下文語境可知，植物在遭受攻擊時會釋放一種化學(xué)物質(zhì)，這種化學(xué)物質(zhì)有兩種功能，一是警示危險的存在，二是發(fā)出求助信息。由此可知，此處的“alert”應(yīng)該意為“警示，警惕”，即warn。故答案選A。

　　4.Which would be the best title for the passage?

　　A.Communication between Plants

　　B.A Chemical “Language”

　　C.Plants Can Talk

　　D.How Plants Protect Themselves

　　答案：C　標(biāo)題概括題。通讀全文可知，文章主要講述了“植物的特殊語言”及功能。C項既能概括文章的主題又生動風(fēng)趣，尤其是talk一詞充滿了擬人化的幽默感。故答案選C。

　　Ⅲ.完形填空
