1、 [小題夯基練] 1．Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks.His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he's an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter，including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road.What is even more interesting is that one of Stei

2、n's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag. Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year.So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收銀臺)．The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in

3、 California，including Los Angeles.Eyeing these headwinds，plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume. Among the bag makers' argument；many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags，whi

The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement：reusable shopping bags.The

5、stronger a reusable bag is，the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out.However，longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make.One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic. Environmentalists don't dispu

6、te(質(zhì)疑)these points.They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years. Q：What is the best title for the text? A．Plastic，Paper or Neither B．Industry，Pollution and Environment C．Recycle or Throw Away D．Garbage Collection and Waste Control 解析

7、：A　[根據(jù)最后一段中的內(nèi)容可知，本文主要講述了塑料袋和可重復使用紙袋的利弊。故選A。] 2．The Sahara Festival is a celebration of the very recent past.The three-day event is not fixed to the same dates each year，but generally takes place in November or December.It is well attended by tourists，but even better attended by locals. During the

8、opening ceremonies，after the official greetings from the government leaders，people who attend the festival begin to march smartly before the viewing stands，and white camels transport their riders across the sands.Horsemen from different nations display their beautiful clothes and their fine horseman

9、ship.One following another，groups of musicians and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turn to show off their wonderful traditional culture.Groups of men in blue and yellow play horns and beat drums as they dance in different designs.On their knees in the sand，a group of women in long dark d

12、y knows exactly when the practice started in Europe.It is said that long long ago in Europe when people met，they showed their unarmed(無武器的)hands to each other as a sign of goodwill.As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly，people in cities began to clap each other's hands to make a deal or to

13、 reach an agreement.This practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other.“Let's shake (hands)on it”sometimes means agreement reached. Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet？No.Sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out thei

14、r hands too often to be polite.It is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party，especially when it is a woman，shows little interest in shaking hands with you and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or her.Even if，for politeness，he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to

15、 your uninvited hand，just touch it slightly.There is generally a misunderstanding(誤解)among the Chinese that westerners are usually open and straightforward，while the Chinese are rather reserved(保守的)in manner.But in fact some people in western countries more reserved than some Chinese today.So it is

16、a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only when he shows interest in further relations with you. Q：The first paragraph mainly tells us ________. A．where handshaking was first practised B．how handshaking came about C．a(chǎn)bout the relationship between handshaking and trade D．a(chǎn)bout the practice

17、 of handshaking both in Europe and in China 解析：B　[在文章第一段說明了握手的來歷。實際上也就是談論握手是怎樣產(chǎn)生的。故選B。] [大題提能練] A (2020·石家莊市高三模擬一)A new“Magic Bench” designed by Disney Research lets you interact(互動)with lovely animated(動畫的)characters—and no special glasses or earphones are required.Instead，the complete environm

18、ent—the seat，the sitter and the cartoon characters—is mirrored on a screen opposite the bench making it possible for others to watch the scene unfold. How does the illusion work？A camera and sensor catch images and gather depth information about physical objects—the bench and the person.And then a

19、computer translates them into the 3D animations.Meanwhile sensors of touch built into the bench deliver shaking that is happening at the same time and speed to animated actions on the screen，creating the illusion that the animated figures are occupying real-world space next to the user. “Our goal f

20、or this project was：hear characters coming，see them enter the space，and feel them sit next to you，”said Moshe Mahler，principal digital artist at Disney Research.Unlike the traditional mobile technology，one of whose limitations is that only a single user can see its illusion，the Magic Bench allows gr

21、oups of people to gather in a single environment and collectively participate in an augmented reality(擴充實境)experience，all at the same time. In a video show，a small cartoon donkey runs into view and kicks the bench，causing a sharp sound and making the seated person jump in surprise.Another test show

22、s two people on the bench，reacting as they“feel” an animated rabbit skip up beside them and jump up and down.When a user passes his hand over the rabbit，a shadow moves across its head，as though it were occupying the same physical space as the person next to it.

23、Bench”，它能使觀眾與卡通人物互動，該互動通過將座位、模特和卡通人物映在長椅對面的屏幕上，讓觀眾更加身臨其境。 1．What does the Magic Bench need to work properly? A．Special glasses. B．Earphones. C．A mirror. D．A screen. 解析：D　[考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段第二句“Instead，the complete environment—the seat，the sitter and the cartoon characters—is mirrored on a screen opp

24、osite the bench making it possible for others to watch the scene unfold”可知，屏幕是該互動技術所需要的，故D項正確。] 2．What does the underlined word“illusion”in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The shaking that is happening. B．The 3D animations on the screen. C．The figures about physical objects. D．The interaction with anim

25、ated figures. 解析：D　[考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容，尤其是第一句中“l(fā)ets you interact(互動)with lovely animated(動畫的)characters”可知，這種方式讓觀眾和可愛的動畫人物互動；結合第二段第一句“How does the illusion work？”可知，該句提問這種和動畫人物互動的技術是如何運作的，由此可推知，畫線詞是指“和動畫人物的互動”，故D項正確。] 3．How is the Magic Bench different from the traditional technology? A．Its fantasy

26、can be seen only by a single user. B．It is designed to create more animated characters. C．It allows many people to experience the fantasy together. D．Its user and the animated character occupy the same space. 解析：C　[考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段第二句“Unlike the traditional mobile technology，one of whose limitations

27、 is that only a single user can see its illusion，the Magic Bench allows groups of people to gather in a single environment and collectively participate in an augmented reality(擴充實境)experience，all at the same time”可知，與傳統(tǒng)移動技術不同的是，傳統(tǒng)移動技術的限制之一是只有一個用戶可以看到這種互動，而Magic Bench允許一群人聚集在一個單獨的環(huán)境中集體同時參與互動體驗。故C項正確。

28、] 4．Which is the best title of the text? A．Magic Bench Puts You in the Picture B．Audiences Become Cartoon Characters C．Entertainment Industry Enters a New Stage D．Disney's Cartoon Figures Come into Reality 解析：A　[考查標題判斷。通讀全文可知，本文主要介紹了迪斯尼公司設計的能使觀眾與卡通人物互動的“Magic Bench”，該互動通過將座位、模特和卡通人物映在長椅對面的屏幕上，

30、school. Her teacher，Shannon Grimm，sympathized with her unhappiness.Grimm and Prisilla's mom were concerned，but their ideas didn't work.“We had classroom discussions about how girls have short hair and boys have long hair，and I showed them photos of movie stars with different looks，”Grimm said.“Howe

31、ver，it wasn't sinking in.” Grimm thought about Prisilla throughout the winter break，and one morning，she had an idea：Cut off her hair—a scary thought for Grimm，who wore her hair long and took pride in it.“I've never had short hair，and I stressed about it for two weeks before making a decision，”she s

39、ot her new hairstyle. 解析：A　[考查主旨大意。通讀全文可知，Prisilla因為是短頭發(fā)而被同學嘲笑，她在學校很不開心，Grimm老師為了幫助、安慰她剪短了自已的頭發(fā)，故A項正確。] C In the 1760s，Mathurin Roze opened a series of shops that boasted(享有)a special meat soup called consommé.Although the main attraction was the soup，Roze's chain shops also set a new standard fo

40、r dining out，which helped to establish Roze as the inventor of the modern restaurant. Today，scholars have generated large amounts of instructive research about restaurants.Take visual hints that influence what we eat：diners served themselves about 20 percent more pasta(意大利面食) when their plates matc

41、hed their food.When a dark-colored cake was served on a black plate rather than a white one，customers recognized it as sweeter and more tasty. Lighting matters，too.When Berlin restaurant customers ate in darkness，they couldn't tell how much they'd had；those given extra-large shares ate more than ev

43、stomers to stay and order that extra round：put on some Mozart(莫扎特)．When classical，rather than pop music was playing，diners spent more.Fast music hurried diners out.Particular scents also have an effect：diners who got the scent of lavender(熏衣草)stayed longer and spent more than those who smelled lemon

46、者對于餐館的研究來介紹現(xiàn)代餐館在經(jīng)營中影響食客消費的幾個要素：視覺要素(餐具、燈光)、聽覺要素(音樂)、嗅覺要素(氣味)、其他要素(桌位、擁擠程度和價格)。本文旨在通過現(xiàn)代餐館的經(jīng)營理念，讓考生了解西方現(xiàn)代餐館的經(jīng)營之道。 9．The underlined phrase“none the wiser”in Paragraph 3 most probably implies that the customers were ________. A．not aware of eating more than usual B．not willing to share food with othe

47、rs C．not conscious of the food quality D．not fond of the food provided 解析：A　[詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段中的“...those given extra-large shares ate more than everyone else，but were none_the_wiser—they didn't fell fuller...”可知，那些被給以大份飯菜的食客比其他人吃得多，但他們沒覺得更飽，這說明在黑暗的就餐環(huán)境下，食客并不清楚自己多吃了多少，所以此處的none the wiser是“不清楚，不知道”之意。故選

48、A項。] 10．How could a fine dining shop make more profit? A．Playing classical music. B．Introducing lemon scent. C．Making the light brighter. D．Using plates of larger size. 解析：A　[細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“when classical，rather than pop music was playing，diners spent more.”可知，當演奏古典音樂而不是流行音樂的時候，食客們會花更多的錢。spent

49、more 就是對題干中make more profit的語意轉(zhuǎn)化。故選A項。] 11．What does the last paragraph talk about? A．Tips to attract more customers. B．Problems restaurants are faced with. C．Ways to improve restaurants' reputation. D．Common misunderstandings about restaurants. 解析：D　[段落大意題。根據(jù)最后一段首句中的“things that you might expect to discourage spending—‘bad’tables，crowding，high prices—don't necessarily”可知，你可能認為會打消你消費的念頭的東西——位置“不好”的桌位、擁擠和價格高——未必如此(指在某些人看來，這些不利因素未必不會帶來利潤的增加)。由此可知，作者認為這些對于餐館的常見觀點是一種誤解，故選D項。]
