2019届高考模拟试卷三 英语卷 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A What do Leonardo da Vincii, Marie Curie, and Albert Einstein have in common? They were all left-handed, along with other famous people including Brad Pitt Prince William, and Barack Obama. In fact, an estimated 13 percent of the world's population may be left-handed and still most people around the world are right-handed. What makes a person become right-handed rather than left-handed? As yet no one really knows for sure. One simple idea suggests that people normally get right-handedness from their parents. Studies have found that two right-handed parents have only a 9.5 percent chance of having a left-handed child, whereas two left-handed parents have a 26 percent chance of having a left-handed child. Another common theory is that left-handed people suffer mild brain damage during birth, which makes them left-handed. However, if this theory were true, it would not explain why the percentage of left-banded people is so similar in every society, when birth conditions vary so much from society to society. Whatever the reasons behind it, people's attitudes toward left-handedness have changed a lot over the years. Statistics show that although 13 percent of young people (10-20 years old) are left-handed, only 6 percent of the elderly are left-handed. Left-handed children used to be punished until they began using their right hand like other children, but today people who are left-handed are no longer looked down on nor are they considered abnormal. For most people today, either case is perfectly acceptable. 1. What makes one right-handed? A. The environment. B. Mild brain damage during birth. C. The reason is uncertain. D. Other people. - 1 -
2. Why is the number of young people who are left-handed bigger than that of the elderly? A. Because the elderly are forced to become right-handed. B. Because left-handed people are considered abnormal. C. Because left-handedness can be cured. D. Because the young are easily damaged. 3. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Left-handed people are looked down upon. B. General facts about left-handed people. C. Some famous left-handed people. D. The reasons why people are left-handed. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文，主要是关于左撇子现象的一些介绍和说明。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。文章第二段中讲了很多右手的使用比左手平常的可能性原因，其中有一句话” As yet no one really knows for sure.”可知，虽然对于右手的使用比左手更为普遍这一现象有不同猜测，但是原因不明。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。文章第三段Statistics show that although 13 percent of young people (10-20 years old) are left-handed, only 6 percent of the elderly are left-handed. Left-handed children used to be punished until they began using their right hand like other children, but today people who are left-handed are no longer looked down on nor are they considered abnormal.可知，以前的左撇子孩子都会受到鄙视或者被认为是不正常的，所以，那一代的孩子会被惩罚直到他们改变这样的习惯，但是，现在人们的态度已经转变了。故选B。 【3题详解】 主旨大意题。文章用客观、中立的态度描写了关于“左撇子”的一些事实，故选B。 B Oil is essential for modern life. About 64 percent of the world’s oil is located in the Middle East, but the heaviest consumers of oil are Europe, America, and Japan. The problem lies in getting the oil from the countries that produce it to the countries that consume it. This is mainly done using oil tankers. Usually the oil is shipped safely and with no problems, but - 2 -
occasionally there is a disaster. Every year millions of tons of oil are spilled into the ocean. Although this is only a small percentage of the total amount shipped around the world each year, this spilled oil can have terrible effects on ocean life, including the coastlines where the oil washes up onto shore. One of the worst oil spills in history occurred along the Alaskan coastline in 1989, when the Exxon Valdez tanker ran aground off the coast of Alaska, spilling 42 million liters of oil. Although it wasn’t the largest oil spill, the disaster was terrible because it occurred in such a sensitive natural area. In this spill, the tanker’s captain, who was tired from overwork and drinking alcohol, had gone to take a rest. He gave control of the ship to another sailor, who was unfamiliar with the route. The ship ran onto Bligh Reef. Damaged by the reef, the ship leaked oil out into the ocean. More than 1,600 kilometers of coastline were affected by the oil spill. Many birds and otters died as a result of the oil covering their skin, and many other sea creatures and the animals that fed on them were also severely affected. 4. Which country is NOT among the largest consumers of oil? A. Japan B. Iraq C. America D. Germany 5. What does the underlined “them” refer to? A. The birds. B. The otters. C. The sea creatures. D. The birds and the otters. 6. Which of the following statement is true? A. The oil leak of Alaska is because the captain was unfamiliar with the route. B. Many birds and otters died from eating the spilled oil. C. Alaska spill was the most serious spill of all time. D. Although some oil leak is not serious, it will affect ocean life. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一次严重的油船漏油事件对环境的影响。。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段可知，最大的耗油国为欧洲的国家，美国和日本。Iraq（伊拉克）不属于其中之一，故选B。 【5题详解】 - 3 -
细节理解题。根据第三段可知，很多以海洋生物为食的动物也都因为油船漏油而受到了影响。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段可知，A选项的漏油事件是由于船长劳累和喝酒去休息了，另一个水手不熟悉路线而造成的。B选项不是死于吃油，而是死于羽毛被油粘住了。C选项Alaska漏油事件并非史上最严重的。故选D。 C “Do you like my dress?” She asked of a passing stranger. \ it just for me.\She said with a tear in her eye. \With a tremble in her voice the little girl answered. \had to go away.\\be right back.\%up in heaven now with Grandfather.\The woman realized what the child meant, and why she was crying.

Mommy said that she put all those kisses on my dress so that I would have her kisses whenever I cry.\Then the lady realized that she wasn't just looking at a dress, she was looking at a mother who knew that she was going away and would not be there to kiss away the hurts that she knew her daughter would get. So she took all the love she had for her little girl and put them into this dress. She no longer saw a little girl in a simple dress. She saw a child wrapped in her mother's love. 7.
