Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2017·石家庄高三模拟)Seated in a convertible (敞篷车) with the top down at 60 miles an hour, Mary looked at the flies that sat on top of Mark's hair. How could they stay there? She wondered.
Mary had not seen Mark in years, until the other day when he came into the café where she worked. His appearance was different from when he was in high school. Now, he was a bit fat and thick glasses covered his eyes.
However, that didn't change Mary's feelings for him at all. He had just bought a brand new red sports car and asked her if she would like to go for a ride and then have dinner with him. Her heart beat with excitement as he opened the door for her. She noticed something very strange as Mark got into the car and started to drive away. On the hair was a group of flies just sitting there.
Mary stared in amazement. It seemed the faster they drove, the more determined the flies were to stick to his hair.
Mary remained silent. She leaned forward and turned the radio on, to try to divert her attention away from the flies, but she couldn't help thinking about them. She looked up at Mark, who was completely devoted to what was going on and continued to sing to the music while driving merrily along.
Finally, Mark pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road beside a diner and looked in the mirror and said, “Mary, I would like to comb my hair before we get something to eat. Could you reach under the seat and give me my hair cream？”
Mary reached under the seat and pulled out a camping backpack,
which contained a round jar and started to laugh wildly as she pointed to the label (商标)．
“That's not hair cream on your hair, Mark! It says it's Fly Trap Glue！”
1．What did Mary probably do?
A．A car saleswoman.
B．A waitress.
C．A cook.
D．A driver.
2．We can learn from the text that ________.
A．Mark used to be a thin, handsome boy
B．Mark had bought a new sports car for Mary
C．Mark and Mary had been in love for years
D．Mary felt strange when she saw the red car
3．The underlined word “divert” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by ________.
A．take
B．absorb

D．recover
4．What's the best title for this passage?

答
案
Ⅰ.1.选B 句意：“请问我可以看看你的驾照吗？”“什么？我做错什么事了吗？”由答语中的“Did I do anything wrong？”可知，回答者对提问者的话感到奇怪，故选B。
2．选B 句意：2017年对一些人来说，将依然会是艰难的一年，尤其是那些受经济不景气持续影响的人。on condition that“条件是”；in particular“特别；尤其”；on purpose“故意(地)”；in addition“除此之外；另外”。故B项符合句意。
3.选C 句意：从图表中可以看出，我们城市的空气质量在过去的三个月中有所下降。空处引导非限制性定语从句，指代主句的内容，且从句位于主语与谓语之间，应用as引导，故答案为C。
4．选C 句意：提供给你的医生一份详尽的病历，以便他可以给你准确的治疗。此处so that引导目的状语从句，意为“以便；为了”，符合句意。
5．选C 句意：琳达在户外工作时热晕了。倒在地上，不省人事。astonish“使吃惊”；depress“使沮丧”；overcome“受到……的极大影响”；hit“打”。根据句意可知应选C。
6．选D 句意：在那次大地震中他失去了双亲，但幸运的是，一对善良的夫妇收养了他，并且将他照顾得很好。cautiously“谨慎地”；approximately“大概”；absolutely“绝对地”；fortunately“幸运地”。根据句意选D。
7．选B 句意：人们确信政府会带领他们摆脱经济危机，因此对国家的未来感到很乐观。convince vt.“使确信；使明白”。句子主语people与convince之间为逻辑上的被动关系，故排除A、C、D三项。
8．选C 句意：玛丽由于不能上网，不能查收她的电子邮件，她觉得与世隔绝了。cut off“切断；阻断；使分离；使隔绝”，符合题意。cut down“消减；缩小(尺寸、数量或数目)；砍倒”；cut in“插嘴；打断”；cut out“切去；删去；戒除；停止服用”。
9．选A 句意：爬山很累人，所以我们都觉得累了。 tiring“令人疲倦的”；tired“感到疲倦的”。根据题意选A项。
10．选A a sense of humor“幽默感”；a pleasure“一件让人感到愉快的事”。
11．选A 句意：手术很成功，我哥哥正在康复，很快就会回来上学。pick up 为多义短语，此处意为“康复”符合题意。wake up“醒来”；grow up“长大”；show up“露面”。
12．选D 句意：当烟火弥漫印度一家医院时，医护人员弃病人于不顾而仓皇逃离，结果导致89人丧生。空格处为现在分词作伴随状语，故选D。
13．选A amuse与colleagues之间为动宾关系，故用其过去分词形式作colleagues的补语，因keep后不可接不定式作补语，故排除D项。
14．选D 由后句句意“你的意思是他比以前有所好转了”可知应选better off than ...“比……富有”；worse off than ...“比……更差”。
15．选D 根据时间状语“at that moment”可知，“occasion”指时间，故要使用关系副词when，相当于at which time。
.1.选B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句中的“until the other day when he came into the café where she worked”可知，她可能是个咖啡厅服务员。故答案选B。
2．选A 推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二、三句“His appearance ... covered his eyes.”可知，Mark曾经是一个又瘦又英俊的男孩。故答案选A。
3．选A 词义猜测题。根据语境可知，此时Mary在转移自己的注意力。take away from相当于divert，此处意为“转移注意力”。故答案选A。
4．选D 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章以粘在Mark头上的苍蝇为线索展开文章，因此用“粘住你”做标题更能够引起读者的兴趣。故答案选D。
.参考范文：
The discussion about happiness has recently aroused people's attention. Some students feel happy about their comfortable life with good food and sufficient choices of clothes. In addition, they enjoy the happiness from the love of parents, relatives or friends. Other students experience happiness from their achievements in their studies. While the rest find their happiness in some other activities like assisting others, taking part in their favorite sports or watching movies.
From my point of view, happiness means giving help to those who need it, such as showing much concern for the aged and the poor and helping them get out of difficulties. What's more, doing our best to work hard at our lessons and improve our overall abilities really counts in making us really happy.
