　　A

　　(2016·沈阳市高三教学质量检测一) It was a cold night in Washington D．C., and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked me for some money so he could get something to eat. I'd read the signs: Don't give money to beggars. So I shook my head and kept marching.

　　I wasn't prepared for a reply, but he said, “I

　　am

　　really homeless and I

　　am really hungry! You can come with me and

　　watch me eat！” But I kept on marching.

　　The incident bothered me for the rest of the week.

　　I had money in my pocket and it wouldn't have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he had been lying. On a freezing cold night, I still assumed the worst of a fellow human being.

　　Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn't help thinking of him. I tried to seek excuses for my failure to help by assuming government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, you're not supposed to give money to beggars.

　　Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean's Cafe, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry Alaskans every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens devoted to Bean's?

　　Before long my idea took_off. People would fax me or call when they took something in. Those who only grew flowers donated them. Food for the spirit. And relief for my conscience.

　　As more and more people started working with the Plant a Row concept, many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo, which also arose in national gardening publications. Row markers with the Plant a Row logo were distributed to gardeners to set apart their “Row for the Hungry”．

　　It is unexpected that millions of Americans are threatened by hunger. If every gardener in America — and we're seventy million strong — plants one row for the hungry, we can lower the number of neighbors who don't have enough to eat. Maybe then I will stop feeling guilty about abandoning a hungry man I could have helped.

　　1．Why did the author turn down the beggar's request?

　　A．He was previously reminded not to do so.

　　B．He was eager to march back to the hotel.

　　C．He thought that it was beyond his duty.

　　D．He was short of money at that moment.

　　2．Which of the following is the closest to the underlined phrase “took_off” (Paragraph 6)?

　　A．We eventually took_off at 11 o'clock and landed in Seattle safely.

　　B．To take_off pounds, you have to cut down the number of calories.

　　C．On hearing the news, he took_off at once and headed back to the hotel.

　　D．His business has really taken_off owing to his advanced management.

　　3．What did the author do after the beggar's incident?

　　A．He felt guilty but couldn't help him.

　　B．He started a project to help the hungry.

　　C．He ran a blue kitchen to supply the hungry with soup.

　　D．He still supposed it was unwise to give money to beggars.

　　4．What can be a suitable title for the passage?

　　A．Plant a Row for the Hungry

　　B．Lend a Hand to Beggars

　　C．Never Hesitate to Help Others

　　D．Plan a Gardening Project

　　(2016·辽宁省大连市高三双基测试)

　　Only after the repairman handed me the bill and waved goodbye — for the third time in six months —

　　did I finally acknowledge the painful truth: Our 20­year­old clothes dryer

　　was busted.

　　I turned to Tom, my husband. “He says we're throwing good money after bad，” I sighed. “I think he's right.”

　　“I'm going to miss that guy，” said Tom. “When do you want to go shopping for a new one？”

　　“Let me think about it.”

　　I glanced out of

　　the window, appreciating the sunlight dancing on the big­leaf maples in our backyard. Perfect drying weather. Suddenly, I thought of

　　my mother hanging laundry on the

　　clothesline during my childhood.

　　“You know, we have all the things a dryer can give us right in the backyard: plenty of warmth, clean and fresh air, and lots of branches to hang clothes on，” I said.

　　“And it would help with the rising electric bill，” noted Tom.

　　And so it began:

　　After the wash cycle, we decorated

　　the maples with damp blue jeans, shirts, socks and towels. In fact, there was a secret pleasure in hanging laundry outdoors. It was the perfect excuse to get up from the computer. While checking on the laundry in the backyard, I could listen to squirrels talking in trees, observe a family of wild turkeys by the road. I'd return to my desk, refreshed.

　　And, except for the sandpaper texture (质地)

　　of sun­dried bath towels, the drying method was a complete success. But as autumn approached,

　　I'd evaluate the day's drying potential. One morning I saw rain clouds ready to burst. I had a load of wet clothes in my arms and no place to put them.

　　I called my husband. Together we hung laundry throughout the house. Then my husband gave me a hug and a smile. “I think it's time to buy a dryer，” he said. “Like today.”

　　“Good idea，” I said, just as the rain was on the way.

　　5．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 1?

　　A．Out of repair.　 B．Damaged.

　　C．Out of shape.

　　D．Old­fashioned.

　　6．From the conversation at the beginning, what was the husband's attitude towards hanging laundry outside?

　　A．Grateful.

　　B．Worried.

　　C．Supportive.

　　D．Doubtful.

　　7．We can learn from the passage that hanging laundry outside ________.

　　A．helped the couple to do laundry together

　　B．helped to reduce the living cost more or less

　　C．offered the author an chance to talk with squirrels

　　D．helped the author to think of her childhood often

　　8．What would the couple do next according to the passage?

　　A．Go and get a dryer.

　　B．Reuse the old dryer.

　　C．Hang wet clothes at home.

　　D．Continue to hang laundry outside.

　　(2016·兰州市高三诊断考试) Anyone who has ever tried to make their way through the center of Amsterdam in a car knows it: the city is owned by cyclists. They hurry in swarms through the streets, unbothered by traffic rules, taking precedence (优先权) whenever they want, rendering motorists powerless by their sheer numbers.

　　Cyclists rule in Amsterdam and great pains have been taken to accommodate them: the city is equipped with an elaborate network of cycle­paths and lanes, so safe and comfortable that even toddlers and elderly people use bikes as the easiest mode of transport. It's not only Amsterdam

　　which boasts a network of cycle­paths, of course; you'll find them in all Dutch cities.

　　The Dutch take this for granted; they even tend to believe these cycle­paths have existed since the beginning of time. But that is certainly not the case. This was a time in the 1950s and 60s, when cyclists were under severe threat of being expelled from Dutch cities by the growing number of cars. Only thanks to fierce activism and a number of decisive events would Amsterdam succeed in becoming what it is, unquestionably, now: the bicycle capital of the world.

　　9．According to the passage，while cyclists in Amsterdam are

　　crossing a street, ________.

　　A．they never feel easy to cross it as there are many cars

　　B．they ignore traffic rules and follow motorists in

　　swarms

　　C．they cross it in a large number regardless of traffic rules

　　D．they feel very nervous and cross it cautiously one after another

　　10．This passage is most probably taken from ________.

　　A．a science fiction

　　B．a travelling magazine

　　C．an academic report

　　D．an instructive brochure

　　11．Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in this passage?

　　A．Almost all people in Amsterdam like riding bicycles.

　　B．These cycle­paths haven't existed since the beginning of time.

　　C．Cities in some other countries have also begun to build their own cycle­paths.

　　D．In 1950s and 60s, cyclists were in the face of being driven by the growing number of cars.

　　12．This passage mainly tells us ________.

　　A．why the people in Amsterdam rode bicycles

　　B．when Amsterdam built many cycle­paths and

　　lanes

　　C．how Amsterdam became the bicycle capital of the

　　world

　　D．what the Amsterdam government has done in the past few years

　　高考题型仿真练(一)

　　A

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。有一次，作者拒绝了一名乞丐的求助，之后作者一直心存愧疚。后来，作者在给一家报纸写专栏的时候想出一个主意：号召自己的读者在自家花园里种植一行豆子，捐给一家名叫Bean's Cafe的店，去帮助那些挨饿的人。最终作者的想法成功了。

　　1．选A　细节理解题。根据第一段“I'd read the signs: Don't give money to beggars. So I shook my head and kept marching.”可知，这是因为作者曾经被提醒过“不要给乞丐钱”。故选A。

　　2．选D　词义猜测题。根据第六段内容可判断出，读者对作者的主意很感兴趣，并按作者的提议去做了，这说明作者的主意很受欢迎，获得了成功。由此可推断出，“took off”在此处意为“成功”，而D项中的“has taken off”意为“已经获得了成功”，与文中画线部分意思一样。故选D。A项中的“took off”意为“起飞”；B项中的“take off”意为“减去”；C项中的“took off”意为“匆忙离去”。

　　$来&源：3．选B　细节理解题。根据第四段“Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens devoted to Bean's？”和第五段内容可知，作者开始了一项旨在帮助挨饿的人的计划。故选B。

　　$来&源：4．选A　标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了作者在一次拒绝了一名乞丐的求助之后一直心存愧疚。后来，作者在给一家报纸写专栏的时候想出一个主意：号召自己的读者在自家花园里种植一行豆子，然后捐出去，来帮助那些挨饿的人。A项意为“为挨饿的人种植一行(豆子)”，体现了本文的中心，适合做标题。故选A。

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在烘干机出现故障无法修复之后如何弄干衣服的故事。作者首先想到了在院子里晾晒衣服的办法，而后来由于下雨又不得不重新考虑买一个烘干机。

　　5．选A　词义猜测题。根据第三段“When do you want to go shopping for a new one？”以及第一段中对维修工六个月之内第三次造访的叙述可知，用了二十年之久的衣服烘干机已经被损坏得无法修复了。busted应意为“无法修复”，与out of repair意思相近。故选A。
