.阅读理解
(2017·芜湖一中高三模拟考试)Many years ago, a French naturalist, Comte de Buffon, wrote some books about natural history.The books were a great success even though some critics (批评家) did not like them.Some critics said, “Comte de Buffon is more of a poet than a scientist.”
Thomas Jefferson did not like what Comte de Buffon had said about the natural wonders of the New World.It seemed to Jefferson that Comte de Buffon had spoken of natural wonders in America as if they were unimportant.
This troubled Thomas Jefferson.He was also a naturalist, as well as a farmer, an inventor, a historian, a writer and a politician.He had seen the natural wonders of Europe.To him, they were no more important than those of the New World.
In 1788, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state, Virginia.While writing, he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of Comte de Buffon.At that moment, Jefferson created a new word — belittle.He said, “Comte de Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic.”
Noah Webster,
the American word expert, liked this word.He put it in the English language dictionary in 1806, “Belittle — to make small, unimportant.”
Americans had already accepted Jefferson's word and started to use it.In 1797, the Independent Chronicle used the word to describe a politician the paper supported.“He is an honorable man，” the paper wrote, “so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please.”
In 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word.He said, “Belittle has no chance of becoming English.And as more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it, the sooner it is forgotten, the better.”
This expert failed to kill the word.Today, belittle is used where the English language is spoken.

答
案
Ⅰ.1.选A No, thanks意为“不用了，谢谢”，符合语境。Yes, my pleasure一般用于别人请自己帮忙时自己同意的答语；never mind意为“没关系”，常用来安慰别人；Yes, I do用来回答“Do you ...”的提问，均不符合语境。故答案选A。
2．选B 句意：遍及所有的媒体，人们正在争论我们是否需要追踪中国道路上的每一辆校车。分析句子结构可知，空处引导宾语从句且从句中不缺少成分，再结合句意，故此处用whether表示“是否”。
3.选D 句意：人们相信一名优秀的教师是把全部身心投入到孩子身上并且不求回报的人。in return表示“作为(对……的)回报”。前三项分别表示“依次”“提前”“简言之”，都不符合句意。
4．选D the 用于逢十的数词的复数形式前，指世纪中的特定年代；be at war是固定搭配，意为“处于交战状态”。
5．选D 句意：“布朗博士，你的下个项目是关于什么的？”“哦，这个还有待看情况再说。”动词remain后除了可跟形容词构成系表结构外，还可跟to be done，为固定用法。故答案D正确。
6．选C belong to“属于……”，不用于进行时和被动语态，故排除B、D两项。分析句子结构可知句中缺少谓语动词，故选C项。
7．选D 句中remove 这一动作发生在found之前，而且computer与remove之间为被动关系，故用过去完成时的被动语态。
8．选D 句意：有确凿的证据表明，所有感觉中最难演绎的是身体上的痛苦。分析句子结构可知空格处引导的是evidence的同位语从句，从句结构和意义完整，故用that引导。
9．选D 句意：官方要对此案做进一步调查才能得出结论。根据句意可知选D，look into“调查”。look out“找出”；look up“查阅”；look through“浏览”。
10．选B 句意：“在你作为一个交换生参观伦敦期间，你认为伦敦眼摩天轮怎么样？”“非常棒！给我留下的印象非常深刻。”A项为动词regret的现在分词；B项意为“惊人的；很棒的；了不起的”；C项意为“令人沮丧的”；D项意为“有趣的；引人发笑的”。根据句意可知选B。
11．选C 此处为“不定代词＋of＋关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，关系代词在从句中作定语，所以用whose。
12．选A 。take apart“give away“赠送；泄露”；make up“”；turn off“”。
13．选C 根据句中的正在募捐，知strike动作发生在过去，故用一般过去时。
14．选C 考查非谓语动词以及be worth的用法。be worth doing“值得做……”，用doing的主动形式表达被动含义。
15．选B recover“痊愈；重新获得”；survive“幸存；生还”；exist“存在”；rescue“救援”。根据句意选B。
Ⅱ.1.选C 作者自己没有汽车，甚至最近的(closest)火车站离作者的房子也很远。
2．选B 因此(Therefore)，作者不知道自己该怎样到那里。
3．选D 作者发帖子请求(request)一起分享搭乘。
4．选A 作者从未见过的一个人答复(replied)说他能够让作者搭乘并将作者送到火车站。
5．选D 他说他会等到作者的火车到达之后才开车离开。before“在……以前”，符合语境。
6．选B 当时作者的心暖暖的。warm为不及物动词，意为“变暖”，符合语境。
7．选A 作者一直以来的压力感马上消失了。immediately“立即，马上”，符合语境。
8．选C 作者最后及时赶到了那家养老院。in time“及时”，符合语境。in order“妥当，井然有序”；in return“作为回报”；in turn“依次，轮流”。
9．选A 那儿的小服务团队对这种额外的帮助非常感激。grateful“感激的”，符合语境。
10．选B 能够成为这个团队的一员并且帮助老年人，作者感到很高兴。be of service to sb.“对某人有帮助”，是固定短语。
11．选D 那天晚上，作者新结交的朋友(friend)把作者送到了车站。7空后的“friendship”是线索提示。
12．选C 作者的新朋友注意到车站处于荒凉的地区。notice“注意到”，符合语境。
13．选A 此处指的是他们两个人一起等火车(train)。5空前的“my train”是线索提示。
14．选D 作者不敢相信他的好意。kindness“好意”，符合语境。另外，19空后面的kindness是线索提示。
15．选B 他与作者分享(shared)了他童年的故事。
16．选A 他小时候常常坐在火车轨边沿，兴奋地(excitedly)等着火车全力驶过。used to do sth.“过去经常做某事”，符合语境。
17．选C 参见上题解析。
18．选D 那天晚上，他和作者一起等着作者的火车靠近(approached)。
19．选C 火车并没有全力驶来，但是作者离开车站时，感受(feeling)到了他善意与慷慨的全部力量。
20．选B 像他那样的人总是会提醒(remind)作者怎样去爱，怎样去给予。
Ⅲ.1.选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It seemed ... were unimportant.”可知，在杰斐逊看来，Comte de Buffon对美洲自然奇观的描述似乎使它们看起来无足轻重。故D项“Comte de Buffon对新世界的描述有偏见”正确。
2．选C 细节理解题。belittle一词是由杰斐逊和布丰伯爵的分歧产生的，这一点从第二段第一句中的“Thomas Jefferson did not like what Comte de Buffon had said”和第三段的第一句“This troubled Thomas Jefferson.”可得知。
3．选B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Jefferson created a new word — belittle.”可知B项正确。
4．选A 主旨大意题。文章讲述了Thomas Jefferson因与Comte de Buffon产生分歧而创造一个新单词belittle的故事。故A项正确。
