2019届高三英语考前押题卷四一、阅读理解1.  Most of us know that physical activity leads to better health. That is nothing new. But the United States government has changed its guidance on how much exercise people need to stay healthy and when they should start. Experts say getting or attaining the health benefits from exercise may be easier than earlier thoughts.For children and teens    Children as young as 3 years old need to be physically active. From birth to age 5, a child's brain develops more than at any other time in life. The development has a lasting effect on a child's ability to learn and to succeed in school and in life. Boys and girls in this age group need at least 3 hours of activity every day. That can be light activities, or moderate (适度的) activities. But it is not suggested to put your 5-year-old children on a "running machine" or other exercise facilities.     Children aged between 6 and 17 get at least an hour of moderate to vigorous activity a day. The activity should be aerobic (有氧的)exercise,such as biking,swimniing and running. Aerobic activity can strengthen the heart and lungs by making them work hard for several minutes or more. Exercise should also include muscle- and bone-strengthening activities, such as climbing trees, using playground equipment and playing sports. Experts suggest that children get this kind of exercise at least three times a week.For adults    For adults, experts recommend 150 minutes per week of moderate to vigorous physical activity. That can be quick walking; that can be cutting the grass; that can be gardening; that can he dancing. any kind of activity that gets your heart rate up and gets you exercising moderately. They also think adults need at least two days of muscle-strengthening exercise like push-ups or lifting weights.For adults over 65    For older adults, experts suggest 30 to 60 minutes per day of moderate physical activity including activities that help aid balance and flexibility. Better balance means fewer falls and less chance of injury.1.According to the guidance, which group may spend the longest time in exercising?A.Children aged 4.B.Teenagers aged 15.C.Adults aged 35.D.Adults aged 70.2.How many activities are suggested to adults in the text?A.4.B.5.C.6.D.7.3.What is the purpose of the text?A.To persuade people of all ages to exercise.B.To inform people of the proper amount of exercise.C.To advise people to take up aerobic exercise.D.To stress the benefits of physical exercise2.    Video producer and musician Justin Scholar enjoyed his fantastic moment weeks ago when he spotted his latest work playing on a huge electronic screen at New Yorks Times Square.    “Its sort of the American dream to see your name up inlights, says the 25-year-old New Jersey native. “Id never really cared about my name being that big, but going to New York and seeing the big screens, you always wonder if your work is going to make it up there.    The video that helps Scholar fulfill his “ American dream" was shot and produced in China, where Scholar is living and working as a media company owner. Scholar took his first Chinese class in high school seven years ago and made his first trip to Shanghai in 2015 through a study-abroad program when he was a student in New York University. The film and TV major changed his focus from technical art to traditional arts during his study in Shanghai, spending most of the time learning ink-and-wash painting, calligraphy and the guzheng,a traditional Chinese musical instrument. He also fell in love with the city, where he ate a lot of authentic xiaolongbao, or steamed meat buns, and felt safe walking on the streets at 3 am.    Shanghai impresses Scholar as an efficient, modern city calling for greater business prosperity with foreign participation, so he returned two years later, when his career at home was already booming after making commercials for big names such as Coca-Cola and Jaguar.    Thanks to a combination of luck and talent, he achieved the goal soon with a Chinese friend as his business partner, and the company has already produced some 15 videos for pop icons, fashionistas, and art museums in merely six months. The video that plays at Times Square, a tourism promotionalfilm for southwest Chinas Chongqing city, is the companys first project contracted(签合同) by a local government in China.1.What did Scholar study in Shanghai?A.TV media.B.Technical art.C.Traditional arts.D.The Chinese language.2.What is the author s purpose in writing Paragraph 3 and 4?A.To change to a new topic for writing.B.To make a conclusion of the first 2 paragraphs.C.To dive deeper into the previous topic.D.To add the background information of the video.3.What do we know about Scholars video?A.It was shot at Times Square.B.It showed attractions of Chongqing.C.It was shot in the year 2015.D.it showed his college life in Shanghai.4.Whats the main idea of the text?A.China opens up new routes to international tourists.B.Shanghai attracts an increasing number of foreigners.C.American dream unexpectedly comes true with the great video.D.Young American brings Chinese tourist video to Times Square.3.    If you're anything like most working Americans, you probably make a beeline for the coffee machine as soon as you wake up in the morning. In fact, over 85 percent of Americans consume caffeine(咖啡因) regularly and coffee is the preferred medium. As for the perfect time for your Joe? There's a " sweet spot" that could maximize your caffeine kick, and surprisingly enough, its not the first thing in the morning.    Although having your coffee right away may cause you to think quickly in the morning, that feeling quickly crashes just a few hours later. " Definitely limit coffee when you first wake up" , Laura Cipullo, registered dietitian and author of Womens Health Body Clock Diet, told CNBC.    To get the most benefit, experts recommend drinking your coffee in the mid-morning or early afternoon, instead. Getting caffeine about three to four hours after you get out of bed will do the trick, too. Why? At those times in the day, your body is low on cortisol(皮质醇)the stress hormone that makes you think quickly and desperately needs a good pick-me-up.    Of course, if you cant function without your morning coffee, then by all means, continue drinking! Not everyone agrees with the mid-morning theory,anyway. Registered dietitian-nutritionist Melanie Dellinges believes when you consume caffeine is not in the least important; it's how much caffeine you consume that matters the most. She recommends limiting your intake to two to four cups a day.    Regardless of when you decide to drink your coffee, try to avoid drinking coffee after 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Research shows that caffeine can disturb your sleep up to six hours after you consume it.1.Which word can best replace the underlined "Joe" in paragraph 1?A.routineB.companyC.breakfastD.coffee2.When does the author suggest drinking coffee?A.Late in the evening.B.3 to 4 hours after getting up.C.Early in the morning.D.2 or 3 hours later after getting up.3.What does Melanie Dellinges regard as the most important?A.The amount of caffeine intake.B.The time to consume caffeine.C.The way one takes in caffeine.D.The mid-morning theory on coffee.4.What is the best title for this text?A.How much coffee to drinkB.Why we ought to drink coffeeC.Don't drink coffee in the morningD.The best time to drink coffee4. Energy sources which are pollution free and environmentally friendly are one of the key challenges ofworlds future society. A team of roboticists and biologists at IITIstituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Pontedera (Pisa, Italy), found that living plants can help with electricity. Fabian Meder, Barbara Mazzolai and iheir co-workers at IIT discovered that living plants are “ green ” power source,which may :become one of futures electricity supplies that perfectly produces in natural environments and is accessible all over the world. Results are published on Advanced Functional Materials.    They discovered that plants can produce, by a single leaf, more than 150 volts each time the leaf is touched, enough to power 100 LED light bulbs. They also showed that an “hybrid tree” made of natural and artificial leaves can act as an “green” electrical producer transferring wind into electricity.    Certain leaf structures are able to transform mechanical(机械的) forces applied at the leaf surface into electrical energy, because of the specific composition that most plant leaves naturally provide. In detail, the leaf is able to gather electric charges on its surface due to a process called contact electrification. These charges are then immediately passed into the inner plant tissue. The plant tissue transports the electricity to other parts of the plant. And then, by simply connecting a “ plug” to the plant stem(茎), the electricity produced can he harvested and used to power electronic devices.    The researchers additionally describe for the first time how this effect can be used to transfer wind into electricity by plants. They equipped a Nerum oleander tree(夹竹桃) with artificial leaves that touch the natural Nerum oleander leaves. When wind blows into the plant and moves the leaves, the “hybrid tree” produces electricity. The electricity produced increases the more leaves are touched. Consequently, it can he easily up-scaled by exploiting the whole surface of I he leaves of a tree or even a forest.1.What can we learn about the discovery of the Italian scientists?A.A living leaf can produce electricity for 100 LED bulbs when touched.B.Artificial plants now serve as an electricity supply in natural environments.C.An artificial leaf can produce electricity for 100 LED bulbs when touched.D.Natural trees can produce electricity by transferring wind in natural environments.2.What does the underlined word in Para. 2 probably mean?A.False.B.Tall.C.Mixed.D.Decorated.3. How does the plant provide electricity for use?a. Electricity is gained from the stem.b. Mechanical forces are put on the leaf.c. Electric charges are gathered by the leaf.d. Electrical energy is passed into the inner parts.e. Mechanical forces are transformed into electric charges.A.d-c-e-b-aB.e-b-c-d-aC.c-d-e-b-aD.b-e-c-d-a4.What did the experiment of the Nerum oleaner tree show?A.How leaves of trees can produce electricity.B.How hybrid trees can transfer wind into electricity.C.How electricity produced by leaves can be harvested.D.How natural leaves can be combined with artificial ones.5.October 30    It's the annual Downtown Santa Cruz Trick or Treat!

I was skinny as a French green bean and with a mouth filled with bad grammar. I usually watched TV or played outside without other peers around until my mother got home from the factory where she ironed pants. The job had provided her with a social life independent from Daddy. She married him when she was 14 just to get away from her own abusive father.  Then came my big year in my small world: my alcoholic and depressed father died of a heart attack in front of me. In spite of the financial problem, my mother still sent me to school when I was 8. I clearly remembered it was a fall day. I returned home from school and shouted, “Mama, Mama, look! I learned to write like a grown-up today  She reached slowly for the white paper. She stared at the huge cursive(草书的) writing on it, and I assumed she was reading the simple words like “school” and “ horse ”. Suddenly,she pulled me to the couch and said, sniffing, "Honey, I dont know how to read or write,hut I decide to learn." I stared at her in shock.  She took advantage of every chance to learn. She read words from billboards, and started picking up words from newspapers,magazines and so on. Gradually, her words accumulated. She couldn't understand most of the big words yet, but she started to know more of what was going on in the world past the Neshoba county line.  Years passed and my mothers literacy greatly improved. A new world was opening to her. In my eyes, my mother was the smartest person I knew, and I meant it. She had taught me nothing was impossible in front of a determined heart, and I cherished it as much as I loved every piece of her.1.What was the authors childhood life like?A.Orderly.B.Lonely.C.Colorful.D.Respectful.2.What did the "big year” mean in the boy's eyes?A.He could attend school.B.His father quitted drinking alcohol.C.His mother got supported financially.D.He no longer got blame from his father.3.What can we learn about the mothers experience?A.She spent much time on social life.B.Her life was dependent on her husband.C.She made full use of all sources to learn words.D.Her decision to learn was opposed by her son.4.What can be the best t
