　　(2024·贛州市高三年級(jí)適應(yīng)性考試)

　　I grew up with a fat dad—450 pounds at his heaviest.Every week he would try a new diet，and my family ended up eating whatever strange food he was trying at that moment.

　　After my third-grade year，my dad landed a life-changing job in Manhattan.My mom，my little sister and I had to move away from our hometown，Chicago，and leave my grandmother and her beautiful food behind.

　　Leaving my grandmother was far more frightening than the move to New York City.There would be no more special weekends at my grandmother’s house，the only place I can remember feeling happy，safe and nourished (有營(yíng)養(yǎng)的)．It was what I desired.In this new city，I felt extremely alone and lost，and I missed my grandmother terribly.

　　My grandmother knew just how I felt—And she knew the cure.Every week，she would send me a card with a $20 bill，a recipe and a list of what to buy at the market.It kept us bonded，and her recipes filled my body and soul.

　　Over the years，I have grown to better understand my father’s struggles with weight and the toll (代價(jià)) it took on him and those who love him.I have come to realize he was driven not by vanity (自負(fù)) or selfishness as much as by a deep pain.And in spite of growing up in such an unhealthy eating environment (or perhaps because of it)，as an adult I found a passion and a career as a nutrition consultant.

　　Today，my father weighs 220 pounds and is a vegan (素食者)．How he got there is a story I hope to share in the coming weeks.More importantly，food is no longer a barrier that keeps us apart，but a bridge that keep us connected.There is nothing my dad enjoys more than talking with me about dietary theories and his weight-loss victories.And now I am the one regularly sending recipe cards to my father’s house，just as my grandmother did for me.

　　1．What kind of person was actually the author’s father?

　　A．He was a man of vanity and selfishness.

　　B．He didn’t like to eat with his family.

　　C．He was more painful than selfish.

　　D．He forced his family to eat what he liked.

　　2．The author desired to go to his grandmother’s________.

　　A．to see his father B．for tasty food

　　C．for pocket money

　　D．to avoid his family

　　3．The underlined word “cure” in Paragraph 4 is the nearest in meaning to “________”．

　　A．solution B．concern

　　C．operation D．situation

　　4．The author became a nutrition consultant mainly because________.

　　A．his father often talked with him about dietary theories

　　B．he was determined to change his own daily habits

　　C．he wanted to study the recipes his grandmother had given him

　　D．his childhood experiences gave him too deep an impression

　　5．What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph?

　　A．He often quarreled with his father about food

　　B．His father will tell him his story in the following weeks

　　C．The most he talks about with his father is nourishment

　　D．He often sends recipe cards to his grandmother in return

　　B

　　(2024·山東濟(jì)寧模擬)

　　An alcohol breath test (ABT) is often used by the police to find out whether a person is drunk while driving.In the United States，the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08% for people aged 21 years or older，while people under 21 are not allowed to drive a car with any level of alcohol in their body.A “positive” test result，a result over the legal limit，allows the police to arrest the driver.However，many people who tested positive on the test have claimed that they only drank a “non-alcoholic” energy drink.Can one of these energy drinks really cause someone to test positive on an ABT？Researchers in Missouri set up an experiment to find out.

　　First，the amount of alcohol in 27 different popular energy drinks was measured.All but one had an alcohol level greater than 0.005%.In nine of the 27 drinks，the alcohol level was at least 0.096%.The scientists then investigated the possibility that these small levels of alcohol could be discovered by an ABT.They asked test subjects to drink a full can or bottle of an energy drink and then gave each subject an ABT one minute and 15 minutes after the drink was finished.

　　For 11 of the 27 energy drinks，the ABT did find the presence of alcohol if the test was given within one minute after the drink was taken.However，alcohol could not be discovered for any of the drinks if the test was given 15 minutes after the drink was consumed.This shows that when the test is taken plays an important role in the test result.The sooner the test is conducted after the consumption of these drinks，the more likely a positive alcohol reading will be obtained.

　　6．What is the legal alcohol level for a 20-year-old driver in the US?

　　A．0.000%.B．0.005%.

　　C．0.080%.D．0.096%.

　　7．What is the purpose of the Missouri experiment?

　　A．To introduce a new method of calculating blood alcohol levels.

　　B．To discover the relation between energy drinks and ABT test results.

　　C．To warn people of the dangers of drinking energy drinks.

　　D．To change the current legal alcohol limit for drivers in the United States.

　　8．The underlined word “subjects” in Paragraph 2 refers to________.

　　A．the things that are being discussed

　　B．a(chǎn)reas of knowledge studied in school

　　C．the participants in an experiment

　　D．the people who belong to a country

　　9．Which of the following affects the ABT test result most for energy drink consumers?

　　A．The age of the person who takes the test.

　　B．The place where the test is given.

　　C．The equipment that the test uses.

　　D．The time when the test is taken.

　　10．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

　　A．A driver whose blood alcohol level is found to be 0.1% will be arrested.

　　B．No energy drinks really cause anyone to test positive on an ABT.

　　C．Few popular energy drinks contain alcohol in them.D．Those taking an ABT 15 minutes after drinking alcohol cannot be found out.課時(shí)作業(yè)(十二)

　　Ⅰ.單項(xiàng)填空

　　1．解析：　考查交際用語(yǔ)。句意為：——實(shí)在是太感謝你那天送我的生日禮物了。——不用客氣。That’s right沒(méi)錯(cuò)；Don’t mention it不客氣；With pleasure(客氣地接受或同意)當(dāng)然了，很愿意，Nice work干得好，故答案為B。

　　答案：　B

　　2．解析：　gain a better understanding of...表示“獲得對(duì)……更好的理解”，故第一空用不定冠詞a；society表示“社會(huì)”，其前不用冠詞。

　　答案：　C

　　3．解析：　考查名詞性從句。此句中referred to后缺少賓語(yǔ)，因此應(yīng)用what引導(dǎo)該主語(yǔ)從句。

　　答案：　B

　　4．解析：　考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞。句意為：——這封信是你母親寄來(lái)的吧？——是的。但這封信不可能是她自己寫(xiě)的，因?yàn)樗粋€(gè)字也不認(rèn)識(shí)。根據(jù)because引導(dǎo)的原因狀語(yǔ)從句可知，此處應(yīng)用can’t have done表示對(duì)過(guò)去發(fā)生的事很有把握的否定推測(cè)。

　　答案：　B

　　5．解析：　句意為：在選專(zhuān)業(yè)之前你最好考慮你的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)。strength強(qiáng)項(xiàng)，優(yōu)勢(shì)，符合句意。

　　答案：　A

　　6．解析：　句意為：——你搬進(jìn)新家了嗎？——沒(méi)呢。我沒(méi)時(shí)間置辦家具。get sth.done表示“使(某事)發(fā)生，使完成(某事)”，故選furnished。

　　答案：　B

　　7．解析：　考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)。句意為：我小時(shí)候特別害怕上學(xué)，但很快就克服了。get over表示“克服”，符合句意。前三項(xiàng)分別表示“離開(kāi)”“被理解，把……講清楚”“進(jìn)展”，都與句意不符。

　　答案：　D

　　8．解析：　考查名詞辨析。句意為：藥品通常應(yīng)該放在家里孩子們夠不著的地方。keep sth.out of the reach of sb.把某物放在某人夠不著的地方。

　　答案：　B

　　9．解析：　考查定語(yǔ)從句。句意為：我認(rèn)為會(huì)受到嚴(yán)厲懲罰的那位官員反而加薪了。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知“________I thought would be seriously punished”為定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞為T(mén)he official，在從句中作主語(yǔ)，故用who。

　　答案：　C

　　10．解析：　考查固定用法。句意為：她不能幫忙打掃房間，因?yàn)樗趶N房忙著做蛋糕。help (to) do sth.幫忙做某事，是固定短語(yǔ)，符合句意。注意：此處不是can’t help doing sth.“禁不住做某事”這個(gè)固定詞組。

　　答案：　A

　　11．解析：　考查時(shí)態(tài)。句意為：我以為老師會(huì)就我們的考試結(jié)果說(shuō)些什么，但是他提都沒(méi)提。根據(jù)句意可知，此處表示的是發(fā)生在過(guò)去的一件事情，因此用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。

　　答案：　D

　　12．解析：　考查交際用語(yǔ)。句意為：——這個(gè)周末你打算做什么？——看情況，如果時(shí)間允許，我可能會(huì)和朋友一起去上海。根據(jù)答語(yǔ)中的“ I may go to Shanghai”可知，答話人只是有去上海的可能，也有可能不去，所以不太肯定，故選D。

　　答案：　D

　　13．解析：　考查短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞含義的辨析。cut down削減、縮短、砍倒；put down放下、寫(xiě)下、批評(píng)，奚落，貶損；turn down關(guān)小，調(diào)低、拒絕；settle down安頓下來(lái)。與費(fèi)用(expenses)有關(guān)時(shí)，常用削減(cut down)費(fèi)用。句意為：當(dāng)價(jià)格飛漲時(shí)，許多人做出了削減費(fèi)用的舉措。

　　答案：　A

　　14．解析：　句意為：一般來(lái)說(shuō)，幾乎所有的孩子都對(duì)周?chē)幸磺惺窃趺窗l(fā)生的感到好奇。curious好奇的；careful細(xì)心的；anxious著急的，擔(dān)憂的；excited激動(dòng)的。

　　答案：　A

　　15．解析：　句意為：積極的態(tài)度、樂(lè)意爭(zhēng)取適當(dāng)?shù)耐庠湾憻挿€(wěn)定的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣合并起來(lái)定將決定你的學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)。本題考查動(dòng)詞辨析。根據(jù)句意，可首先排除conclude(結(jié)束，做結(jié)論)和conduct(引導(dǎo)，管理，指揮)。combine合并；connect聯(lián)合，聯(lián)系。本句中強(qiáng)調(diào)將attitude，willingness及exercising合并(as a whole)，并非簡(jiǎn)單的聯(lián)系，故答案為B項(xiàng)。

　　答案：　B

　　Ⅱ.閱讀理解

　　語(yǔ)篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。作者小時(shí)候，爸爸很胖，每周都需要嘗試一種新的食物來(lái)減肥，全家人都不得不與爸爸一起“試吃”，為此作者對(duì)爸爸意見(jiàn)很大。后來(lái)隨著年齡的增長(zhǎng)，作者對(duì)父親也有了更深的理解，在選擇職業(yè)時(shí)也選了營(yíng)養(yǎng)師這份工作。

　　1．解析：　

　　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段第一、二句“Over the years...I have come to realize...as much as by a deep pain.”可知，這些年來(lái)，作者逐漸理解了父親，意識(shí)到他苦苦地與自己的體重作斗爭(zhēng)，不是虛榮和自私，而是對(duì)于自己的體重感到深深的痛苦。由此可知，C項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與題意相符。

　　答案：　C

　　2．解析：　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二、三段內(nèi)容可知，作者和家人一起搬到了曼哈頓，離開(kāi)了祖母還有她做的精致美食，以致作者非常想念祖母，特別渴望去她的家里品嘗美味佳肴。

　　答案：　B

　　3．解析：　詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第四段畫(huà)線詞前后內(nèi)容可知，作者的祖母知道作者心中的想法，每周會(huì)給作者寄20美元，一個(gè)食譜還有一個(gè)購(gòu)物單。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可推知，畫(huà)線詞所在句子意思是作者的祖母知道解決的辦法。因此畫(huà)線詞的意思與選項(xiàng)中solution的詞義最為接近。

　　答案：　A

　　4．解析：　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段最后一句“And in spite of growing up in such an unhealthy

　　eating

　　environment...I

　　found

　　a

　　passion

　　and

　　a

　　career

　　as

　　a nutrition consultant.”可知，盡管在一個(gè)如此不健康的飲食環(huán)境中成長(zhǎng)(也許正是因?yàn)檫@一點(diǎn))，作者長(zhǎng)大后成為了一個(gè)營(yíng)養(yǎng)咨詢(xún)師。由此可知，作者童年的經(jīng)歷給他留下了很深的印象，因此，作者后來(lái)成為一名營(yíng)養(yǎng)咨詢(xún)師。
