(2019·广东七校联合体高三第一次联考)These days, I walk down the steps leading toward the south end of the All England Club in Wimbledon, and still look for the Crow’s Nest, a small green observation tower with an outer ladder that I used to climb on for a wide view of the grounds, but it has since been knocked down.
The Crow’s Nest was a particularly useful point, because it allowed a tennis writer to keep track of the action on as many as 10 outside courts at a time. At the end of the days, reporters from different nations would share notes on what they had observed all over the grounds.
Twentyseven years later, the press room has touch screens that allow us to watch live videos from any court, and even go back to watch key moments in key matches long after they have finished. You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat. But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia.
More than at any other tennis tournament, there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting, the history and the traditions.
If they change the price of the fish tacos(鱼肉卷饼) at the United States Open, it’s not a story. If they change the price of the strawberries and cream, the signature treat at Wimbledon, it’s time to email your editor using capital letters.
The new retractable(可缩进的) roof was put in place in 2009. Until then, you always had to have a rainyday story in your notebook because there were no guarantees any matches would be played. Now tennis is a sure thing on Centre Court, which has made tennis reporters a bit less creative. But at least it guarantees us daily access to the most atmospheric place in the sport.
So much has changed, but Centre Court remains true to its original spirit: more a theater than a stadium. Catching that feeling is part of covering Wimbledon, too.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。在温布尔登的网球俱乐部，“我”曾经爬过的赛场楼梯被拆毁了；现在的记者室拥有触摸屏，可以让我们观看任何球场的直播视频。虽然发生了很多变化，但中心球场仍保持着初衷。捕捉这种感觉也是报道温布尔登网球锦标赛的一部分。
1．What did the author do on the Crow’s Nest in the past?
A．He made friends with reporters.
B．He reported on tennis matches.
C．He appreciated the beautiful scenery.
D．He exchanged experiences with tennis players.
B 解析：推理判断题。通读全文可推知，作者应是一名网球赛报道记者。根据第二段可知，过去Crow’s Nest是记者们观察、记录赛况的地方，每天结束时，来自不同国家的记者们会分享他们在现场观察到的情况；结合第一段可以判断，作者曾经登上Crow’s Nest，报道网球赛的情况，故B项正确。
2．What does the author think of the new way of covering Wimbledon?
A．It lacks fun.
B．It is expensive.
C．It is not convenient.
D．It is not quick enough.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句可知，你可以不用离开座位就能报道温网，但这有点像把你所有的时间花在客房服务和在维基百科查找事实真相上；据此可以判断，作者认为如今的报道温网的方式缺乏趣味，故A项正确。
3．Why does the author mention strawberries and cream?
A．To compare popular foods.
B．To introduce the typical treat at Wimbledon.
C．To describe people’s craze for traditional dishes.
D．To show the traditions of Wimbledon are an attraction.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段可知，与任何其他网球锦标赛相比，人们也关注讲述有关温网背景、历史和传统的故事，接着第五段提到美网上的鱼肉卷饼价格改变不会成为新闻而温网的特色食物草莓和奶油价格改变则需要重点向主编报告；据此可推知，提及温网的草莓和奶油旨在展示温网的传统是一个吸引点。故D项正确。
4．What difference does the new roof make?
A．Audiences have easier access to a tennis court.
B．There’s less fun in watching Wimbledon indoors.
C．Reporters are struggling to find original material.
D．Rainyday stories about Wimbledon have become history.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第六段第一、二句可知，2009年装上了新型的可缩进屋顶，在那之前，因为不能确保所有的温网比赛都能举行，记者们得准备好一个应急报道；据此可知，新屋顶让温网的“应急报道”成为历史，故D项正确。

(2019·昆明高三摸底调研测试)A study of 500，000 songs released(发行) in the UK between 1985 and 2015 showed that pop music had decreased in happiness and increased in sadness.
In a report published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, researchers at the University of California examined hundreds of thousands of songs and classified them by their mood. “‘Happiness’ is going down, ‘sadness’ is going up, and at the same time, the songs are becoming more ‘danceable’ and more ‘partylike’，” coauthor Natalia L. Komarova told The Associated Press.
The study found songs in 2014 like Stay With Me by Sam Smith, Whispers by Passenger and Unmissable by Gorgon City have a “low happiness” trend. However, tracks from 1984 like Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen, Would I Lie To You? by Eurythmics and Freedom by Wham had a “high happiness” trend. “The public seems to prefer happier songs, even though more and more unhappy songs are being released each year，” the researchers wrote.
Apart from the emotional trends, researchers discovered that dances and pop were the most successful styles of music and that there was a “clear downward” trend, with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s. “So it looks like, while the overall mood is becoming less happy, people seem to want to forget it all and dance，” Komarova wrote in an email.
It was also found that the “maleness” of songs—the frequency of male singers in popular music—had decreased during the last 30 years. “Successful songs are characterised by a larger percentage of female artists compared to all songs，” they wrote.
This discovery appears at a time when the conversation around sex equality in the music industry is at its height, with more male artists and songwriters.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了流行音乐表达的情绪的变化趋势。
8．The researchers examined lots of songs to ________．
A．find songs for dances and parties
B．choose songs for a journal
C．release more songs
D．know better about songs
D 解析：推理判断题。文章第二段介绍了加州大学的研究者们调查了成千上万的歌曲并把它们按情绪分类，紧接着得出歌曲分类的结果，可见他们调查歌曲的目的是想对歌曲有更多的了解，故选D。A、C两项曲解文意；B项无中生有。
9．Whose music style tends to bring you more happiness?
A．Natalia L. Komarova’s.
B．Sam Smith’s.
C．Gorgon City’s.
D．Bruce Springsteen’s.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中第二句可知D项正确。Natalia L. Komarova为报道的合著者，而非歌手；Sam Smith、Gorgon City所演唱的歌曲有让人开心感降低的趋势，故排除。
10．What do we know about songs over the past three decades?
A．Rock became popular in the early 2000s.
B．Fewer unhappy songs came to light every year.
C．Male singers were better at performing pop music.
D．Female artists were less skilled in writing songs.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s”可知，摇滚乐在21世纪初开始流行，故A项正确。其余三个选项的内容均与文意不符。
11．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Pop Music Is Getting Sadder
B．Music Calls for Sex Equality
C．Pop Music Has a Long History
D．Music Industry Is Going Down

(2019·福州四校联考)The idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important part in keeping you healthy.
Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.
Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive(认知的) falling.
Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.

13．What can laughter increase according to the author?
A．Cognitive ability. B．Good relationships.

B 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness...and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.”可知，在作者看来，大笑能使人们之间的关系更亲密。
14．What does the author think the old should do?

15．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．Humor, Laughter and Play for Health
B．Always Keep Our Body Healthy
C．Have an Active and Happy Life

A 解析：标题归纳题。根据最后一段“Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages.

3．looking 解析：考查固定用法。spend time doing sth.“花时间做某事”为固定用法。
4．frighten 解析：考查动词。最新研究表明，即使像务农和野营这样的活动也会惊吓到动物，进而导致它们夜间变得更加活跃。情态动词can后应接动词原形，故应用名词fright的动词形式frighten。
5．What 解析：考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导主语从句且缺少主语，故用what，意为“……的事物”。
6．carefully 解析：考查副词。修饰句中的谓语动词compared应使用副词。
7．It 解析：考查强调句型。分析句子结构可知，去掉______ was和that之后，句子表意完整，故该句为强调句型“It was＋被强调部分＋that＋其他成分”。
8．were published 解析：考查时态和语态。根据语境可知，谓语动词publish和句子的主语Results是被动关系，且根据时间状语two months ago可知，描述的是发生在过去的事情，故用一般过去时的被动语态。
9．unusual 解析：考查形容词。先前没人对此进行过如此详细的研究，所以这些新的发现显得不同寻常。
10．surprised 解析：考查形容词。此处为过去分词作表语，表示主语Marlee Tucker的状态，故用形容词surprised。

第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
(2019·临沂模拟)Gregory Kloehn is an artist 61.____________ uses his skills for a really worthy cause—building homes for the homeless.Making use of recycled materials found on the street, he creates small mobile homes, each about the size 62.____________ a sofa.These homes come with pitched roofs to keep out the rain and 63.____________ (wheel) at the bottom for mobility.So far, he’s built about 10 shelters through the “Homeless Homes Project”， and hopes to create 64.____________ (much) in the future.
65．____________ they’re not made of much, the tiny homes are more than enough for someone with no other place 66.____________ (sleep) in.They are painted in bright colors and have a few odd elements—like washing machine doors for windows and minivan tops for roofs.
“Before, I 67.____________ (be) all about sculpture, but I realized it just sits there，” he said.“And you’re just selling it to rich people.I kind of think if you’re putting so much effort into something more valuable, it would be 68.____________ (good)．” He 69.____________ (write) a book called Homeless Architecture at the time, 70.____________(admire) how they were able to recycle all day and make homes out of almost nothing.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了艺术家Gregory Kloehn用自己的技能为无家可归的人建房子的故事。
61．who/that 解析：考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导定语从句，修饰先行词“an artist”，指人，且在从句中作主语。故填who/that。
62．of 解析：考查介词。根据语境可知，Gregory创造了一些小的移动房屋，每个房屋都跟沙发一样大小。of表示所属关系，符合语境。故填of。
63．wheels 解析：考查名词复数。根据常识可知，移动房屋的轮子应该有多个；且wheel为可数名词。故填wheels。
64．more 解析：考查形容词的比较级。根据上文中的“he’s built about 10 shelters”可知，此处指Gregory希望在未来建造更多的移动房屋。故填more。
65．Although/Though/While 解析：考查连词。根据语境可知，尽管这些房屋没有用到很多东西，但对于那些没有其他地方睡觉的人来说已经足够了。故填Although/Though/While，引导让步状语从句。注意首字母大写。
66．to sleep 解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空格处为非谓语动词。故填动词不定式to sleep，作“place”的后置定语。
67．was 解析：考查动词的时态。根据时间状语“Before”可知，此处应用一般过去时。故填was。
68．better 解析：考查形容词的比较级。句意：我有点认为如果你对更有价值的东西投入大量努力，它就会变得更好。根据“more valuable”可知，此处也应用比较级形式。故填better。
69．wrote 解析：考查动词的时态。根据时间状语“at the time”可知，此处应用一般过去时，指Gregory过去写过一本叫作Homeless Architecture的书。故填wrote。
70．admiring 解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词，且动词admire与主语“He”为逻辑上的主动关系，应用现在分词作状语。故填admiring。

(2019·成都诊断性检测)I have always been doing volunteer work, so I had never really thought about doing work abroad until I found some informations on this specific trip. There was a picture attaching to an email, which was sent regarding a trip. It showed two little girls that they needed volunteers. The image makes me fall in love with the idea of going somewhere complete different from my home. What attracted me about the trip was it was to a place I’d never visit by myself. I wanted to go nowhere that would make me step out into my comfort zone.
