格,准确率能达到90%。研究人员指出有些研究成果是在意料之内的,而有些结果是出乎人们意料的。
1.C 【解析】主旨大意题。本文是一篇调查报告,第一段提出了“‘Shoes convey useful information about their wearers’”然后对调查活动进行了详细的介绍,最后一段通过“their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities”进一步印证主题,所以文章主要讲述的是人们所穿的鞋子能反映出人的性格。
2.A 【解析】细节判断题。根据第二段中的“researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants”以及“Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes”可知参与调查的人们被要求提供他们鞋子的照片。
3.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“However,some of the more specific results are strange enough.For example,‘practical and functional’shoes were generally worn by more ‘pleasant’ people,while ankle boots were more linked with ‘aggressive’ personalities.”可知穿高跟短靴的人更具有攻击性是出乎人们意料的。 4.B 【解析】词义猜测题。根据文章的第三段中的“…you may suffer from ‘attachment anxiety’,spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.”可知,患有依恋焦虑症的人们,会更担心他们的外表。

2019·辽宁省五校协作高三联合模拟题
It took multiple weddings for Christine Law to realize what she needed to do. In the summer of 2014, her schedule was packed with friends' marriage celebrations—flower-filled occasions that got her thinking, “Where do all the flowers go after the party?” More often than not, they were thrown away. Law was confident she could find a better use for them.
By August, she had a plan: convince couples and companies hosting events to donate their flowers, which she would pick up and deliver within 48 hours to seniors across the city. She wanted to bring beauty into the lives of the elderly. She drew on her experience through being a volunteer in non-profit institutions in order to set up her own organization, which she called Floranthropie. Not having enough bouquets (花束) for all 150 people of a health center, Law asked the staff to provide a list of patients who needed cheering up most, “The first woman I approached thought it was a mistake, and that the flowers couldn't possibly be for her,” says Law. “I said they were a gift, and we talked for a half hour.”
In addition to health centers, Floranthropie focuses on community groups
devoted to the elderly. La-titia Thélème is a volunteer for Les Petits Fières, an organization that aims to help the elderly who don't have a support system. The group receives a dozen or so bouquets from Floranthropie monthly, and then redistributes them. “Our motto is ‘flowers before bread’,” says Thélème. “We don't focus on primary care, but rather on nourishing (滋养) the spirit. Floranthropie helps us do that. It's amazing what a big difference a small bouquet can make.”
In the beginning, most of Floranthropie's donations came through word of mouth. These days, Law receives messages from strangers via her organization's Facebook page and has connected with corporations and flower wholesalers. Law hopes to expand Floranthropie nationally, but at this point is happy to be able to oversee each delivery personally.
5.What made Christine Law set up Floranthropie? A.The waste of flowers. B.The loneliness of seniors. C.The persuasion of other friends. D.The warm atmosphere of weddings.
6.What was the woman's reaction to Christine Law's flowers? A.She was moved. B.She was excited. C.She was worried. D.She was surprised.
7.What can we infer about Floranthropie from La-titia Thélème's words? A.It should focus on primary care. B.It is benefiting more than the elderly. C.It is doing something of great importance.
D.It should cooperate with more non-profit institutions. 8.What is the best title for the text? A.Volunteer Your Time B.Don't Throw Flowers Away C.Special Delivery Makes Your Day D.Brighten Seniors' Lives With Flowers

Secret codes(密码) keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.
People have used secret codes for thousands of years. __1__ Code breaking never lags(落后)far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.
There are three main types of cryptography. __2__ For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me”.
__3__ You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let's number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5”.
A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. __4__ For example,“bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me”.The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me”. __5__However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.
A.It is very hard to break a code without the code book. B.In any language, some letters are used more than others. C.Only people who know the keyword can read the message.
D.As long as there have been codes,people have tried to break them.
E.You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F.With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.
G.Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,主要向读者介绍了几种类型的密码。
1.D 【解析】根据空格后的“Code breaking never lags(落后)far behind code making.”及关键词breaking可知,D项“只要有密码的存在,人们就会试图破解它们”承上启下,符合语境。故选D。
2.E 【解析】根据空格后的“the first letters of ‘My elephant eats too many eels’ spell out the hidden message ‘Meet me’”并结合选项可知,此处指可以利用每个单词的首字母来隐藏信息,E项是下文例子的概括,符合语境。故选E。
3.G 【解析】根据空格后的“You might represent each letter with a number,for example.”,并结合下文内容可知,也可以使用代号来代表字母表中特定的字母,G项可以引起下文,符合语境,故选G。
4.F 【解析】根据空格前的“you must have a code book”并结合空格后的“‘bridge’ might stand for ‘meet’…”可知,空格处指的是密码本的作用,因此F项“使用密码本,你可以记录那些代表其他单词的单词”能够衔接上下文,符合语境。故选F。
5.A 【解析】根据空格后的“However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long.”可知,空格后的内容表示转折,由此结合选项可知,A项“如果没有密码本,人们很难破解密码”能够与下文内容相衔接,且A项中的“It is very hard”与下句中的“it is also hard”相照应。故选A。 Ⅳ.短文改错
Many years ago,when I was a teenager,I had a chance attend the National Professional Dance Competition in Beijing.It is one of the nation's biggest art event.Before the competition was started,I practiced very hard to improve each step,gradually,one and one.I forgot that it was to be tired and just thought that I had to win.Every dancer had to choose the number.Because I was too concentrated on practicing for my performance,when the judges called her number,that I didn't hear it.Eventually I heard it.I cannot describe how exciting I was.Although this first competition was a long time ago,I still clear remember it. 【答案】
