Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

(2018届高三·金华十校调研)For many Chinese young people, a routine Spring Festival Eve means a big meal with the whole family, an occasional glimpse of the Spring Festival Gala on TV, and most importantly, talking to friends on your cellphone. But Su Hanting, a 16­year­old boy, spent last year's Spring Festival Eve at a desk, translating a classic work of English literature.

Su started translating The Story of King Arthur and His

Knights (1903), a 120, 000­word by an American author, Howard Pyle,

during his winter vacation. He didn't take a break during the biggest festival of the year. “Every second counts，” Su said.

Like many teenagers of his age, Su enjoys reading both Chinese English classics. But the idea of translating only occurred to

and him

by chance — he was just helping his classmates to figure out some of the medieval (中世纪的) place names in this book. But once he started, he couldn't stop. For the ancient place names and the titles of the Knights, he searched online, looked for maps in the library and read historical documents related to King Arthur. Meanwhile, he also read the original novel over and over again to make sure of the thoughts and emotions as well as possible.

His preparation paid_off. It only took him three months, mostly during his winter vacation, to translate the book. And that includes the time he lost after finishing 80,000 words that were gone because of a computer bug. The translated version came out on November 15th and has won high praise from experts.

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了十六岁的男孩苏汉廷在帮同学查找《亚瑟王和他的骑士们》中的地名时偶然萌生了翻译这部作品的想法。通过充分的准备工作，他在很短的时间内完成了这部经典作品的翻译，获得了专家的好评。

1．What did Su do on the Spring Festival Eve? A．Watched TV.

B．Played with his cellphone. C．Talked to his friends. D．Continued his translation.

解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“But Su Hanting, a 16­year­old boy ...

.....

English literature.”可知，除夕夜苏汉廷仍在继续翻译英文著作。故D项正确。

2．What did Su's classmates ask him to do? A．To buy a lot of original novels. B．To find out some place names of a book. C．To surf the Internet for information. D．To look for some maps in the library.

解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“But the idea of translating only occurred ... names in this book.”可知，苏汉廷帮助同学寻找地名的时候偶然有了翻译这部作品的想法。由此可推知，他的同学是让他帮忙找一些地名。故B项正确。

3．The underlined words “paid off” in the last paragraph probably means “________”．

A．worked C．failed

B．cost D．finished

解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据最后一段第二句“It only took him three months, mostly during his winter vacation, to translate the book.”可知，这些准备工作起了很大的作用，使他在很短的时间内就完成了翻译工作。由此可推知，画线词意为“起作用”。故A项正确。

B

“I have nothing to wear！” You might have said to yourself, feeling slightly distressed, wardrobe door wide open, hours before going to a party or important event. Casual or formal? Is this too fancy? Should I be more neatly dressed?

How strictly should we follow fashion rules? “Never mix patterns” is one of them. “It's unnecessary，” says Martine Alexander, adviser to British TV actresses. “Matching everything makes you look like you've tried too hard. Style should look effortless.”

Well, just be careful not to make people's eyes go funny when they look at you, I say.

Men have the issue of white socks. “Unless you're exercising there is absolutely no appropriate moment to wear white socks，” says Alex Bilmes, editor of the men's magazine Esquire. And he adds，“These types of rules exist to make sure fashion innocents don't make such a bad mistake.”

We all know that white socks are usually bulky and may look cheap. But there's a long British tradition of men wearing socks with sandals (凉鞋). So ... Maybe critics should just let us wear what we are comfortable with.

When you look a particular way, you are sending a message about yourself. It's not

.....

.....

a good idea to go to a job interview wearing shorts or going to the market in your pajamas. But, whatever you wear, do it with confidence.

“I don't do fashion. I am fashion，” said Coco Chanel. And designer Gianni Versace said it all, “Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, and what you want to express, by the way you dress and the way you live.”

语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。在参加晚会前，面对各种款式的衣服，他应当怎样选择？是穿得随意一点还是正式一点？是穿得时尚一点还是舒适一点？本文给出了这些问题的答案。

4．The author writes the first paragraph to ________. A．introduce the topic of the text B．teach the rules of fashion

C．illustrate the problem of choosing what to wear D．stress the importance of proper dressing

解析：选A 推理判断题。该题问的是作者写第一段的目的。通读第一段可知，第一段描述了人们在参加聚会前选择衣服的矛盾心情；结合下文可知，该段使用这一生活中的常见现象引出了文章的主题：如何着装。故A项正确。

5．What does the author advise doing? A．Not wearing white socks with sandals. B．Trying not to look funny to others. C．Minding the dress code for parties. D．Going shopping in shorts.

解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段“Well, just be careful not to make people's eyes go funny when they look at you, I say.”可知，作者认为不要让别人觉得你的穿着滑稽。故B项正确。

6．Who may the author disagree with concerning his/her idea of fashion? A．Martine Alexander. C．Coco Chanel.

B．Alex Bilmes. D．Gianni Versace.

解析：选B 推理判断题。该题问的是作者可能不会同意谁的关于时尚的观点。根据第四段可知，Alex Bilmes认为除了在锻炼的时候，男人在其他时候都不应该穿白袜子；根据第五段可知，作者认为凉鞋配袜子一直是英国人的传统，因此只要个人感觉舒适就行；由此可知，Alex Bilmes的观点和作者的不符。故选B。

C

Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted

.....

.....

before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two­thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.

However, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission (服从)．

In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”， and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”．

What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.

The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets — to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，狗和猫通过相互学习和理解彼此的语言是可以和平相处的。其实人类也可以如此。

7．Which below is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1?

A．Smoothly. C．Quickly.

B．Briefly. D．Early.

解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据第一段的最后一句可知，被采访的家庭中有三分之二的家庭说他们的猫和狗能建立良好的关系。get along swimmingly 和该句中的“a positive relationship”表达的意思相同；据此可以判断，画线词意为“顺利地，顺顺当当地”，故A项正确。

8．When are some cats and dogs likely to fight with each other? A．They are introduced at an early age. B．They are cold to each other.

.....

.....

C．They misunderstood each other's signals. D．They stared at each other.

解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段的倒数第二句“One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite.”可知，猫和狗打架的原因可能是它们之间有些肢体语言表达的意思相反，故C项正确。

9．It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________. A．are less different than we thought B．have common interests

C．are less intelligent than we expected D．have a common body language

解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第四段的第二句“They can learn how to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected.”可知，猫和狗可以互相学习肢体语言，它们比我们预料的有更多的相同之处，故A项正确。

10．What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs? A．To live in peace with animals. B．To live in harmony. C．To know more about animals. D．To learn body signals.

解析：选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets ... surely people have a good chance.”可推出人与人之间也可以和谐相处，故B项正确。
