　　.閱讀理解

　　(2024·河北省普通高中質量檢測)

　　Former Irish President Mary Robinson was just making a polite conversation with an Ethiopian (埃塞俄比亞的) teenager about her wedding day.The 16-year-old had already been married for a year.“She looked at me with the saddest eyes and said，‘I had to drop out of school，’ ” Robinson said in a telephone interview.“That conveyed to me the reality，” said Robinson，the first woman to serve as Ireland’s president and former U．N.High Commissioner for Human Rights.“Her life，as far as she is concerned，had more or less ended.”

　　Robinson said keeping girls in school was one of the most important things policymakers could do to address the coming challenges of an ever-increasing population，predicted by the United Nations to reach 7 billion soon.“European countries are concerned about aging populations，but this is much less of an issue than the huge number of people which we are going to see over the next 40 years when the population goes from 7 billion to 9 billion，”she said.“Almost all of that increase will be in poor developing countries，so that we have a very big challenge.”

　　Family planning experts worry in particular about the future population explosion in Sub-Saharan Africa.In May，the United Nations projected the world population would reach 9.3 billion in 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100.Much of that growth will come from Africa，where the population is growing at 2.3 percent a year—more than double Asia’s 1 percent growth rate.If that rate stays consistent，which is not certain，Africa’s population will reach 3.6 billion by 2100 from the present 1 billion.

　　Joel Cohen，a professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York，said universal secondary education offered a way to reduce population in high birth rate regions.In addition to providing information about birth control，a secondary education teaches women to reduce their own fertility，improve the health of their children and allows them to move from a mindset of having many children in the hope that some will survive to improve the quality of each child’s life，Cohen wrote in the journal Nature.

　　1．In the first paragraph，the author introduces his topic by________.

　　A．giving an example

　　B．explaining the author’s opinions

　　C．describing the poor education system

　　D．coming straight to the topic

　　2．What can we learn from the passage?

　　A．Robinson is happy after talking to the Ethiopian girl.

　　B．Robinson is a successful expert in population studies.

　　C．Robinson is worried about the population growth.

　　D．Robinson encourages female education.

　　3．What is Joel Cohen’s view about secondary education?

　　A．It provides basic knowledge of heahh.

　　B．It reduces aging population.

　　C．It makes people pay more attention to education.

　　D．It can change people’s parenting ideas.

　　4．According to the passage，the most important way to control high population growth is________.

　　A．let girls go away from Africa

　　B．keep girls in school

　　C．let young girls remain single

　　D．keep girls in families

　　課時作業(三十)　

　　Ⅰ.單項填空

　　1．解析：　考查交際用語。句意為：——我能問你一些關于云南地震的問題嗎？——當然，你問吧。根據句意可知，應選B。

　　答案：　B

　　2．解析：　句意為：據說我們的英語老師有各種各樣的興趣愛好，比方說音樂、體育、集郵等。diverse各種各樣的，typical典型的；specific特定的；appropriate合適的。

　　答案：　A

　　3．解析：　考查非謂語動詞。get up與Bill之間是主動關系，且發生在謂語動詞動作之前，故用現在分詞完成時作狀語。

　　答案：　D

　　4．解析：　該句是強調句型，被強調的是after引導的時間狀語從句。

　　答案：　B

　　5．解析：　考查虛擬語氣。答語中，前一分句使用了含蓄條件虛擬語氣，表示與過去事實相反的假設，相當于if it hadn’t been for the heavy rain，we could have had a better time。

　　答案：　D

　　6．解析：　該句使用了“祈使句＋and＋陳述句”句型，表示條件和結果的關系。

　　答案：　A

　　7．解析：　句意為：現在食品安全是一個大的問題，沒有人能夠保證所有的食物對我們來說都是安全的，但是正規公司生產的食物相對來說要好一些。strictly嚴格地；absolutely完全地；relatively相對地；exactly正好地。

　　答案：　C

　　8．解析：　考查名詞辨析。句意為：我給護士送去一大束鮮花以表謝意，感謝她在我爺爺住療養院期間給予的悉心照顧。an expression of thanks是express one’s thanks的變形。C項若能與題干構成an appreciation of her taking good care of...結構，也可當選。

　　答案：　D

　　9．解析：　在This is the first time that...句型中，從句常用現在完成時，且appoint與woman之間為動賓關系，故選C。

　　答案：　C

　　10．解析：　句意為：上周一我給新生舉行了一次測試來評估一下他們的英語水平。此處用動詞不定式作后置定語，表示目的。

　　答案：　C

　　11．解析：　考查動詞不定式及時態的應用。因為say與主語(人)是動賓關系，所以應用被動語態；再由句意可知應用不

　　答案：　B

　　12．解析：　考查名詞辨析。句意為：按照我們校長的觀點，應該鼓勵所有的兒童充分發揮他們的潛能。potential表示“潛力；潛質”。前三項分別表示“結果”“娛樂”“提交，出示”，都與句意不符。

　　答案：　D

　　13．解析：　when為并列連詞，常用于“...be about to do sth.when...”句型中，表示“正要……這時……”。attract/draw one’s attention吸引某人的注意力；pay attention to注意……。

　　答案：　D

　　14．解析：　考查動詞辨析。語意表示“對他在公共生活中的成功起到了極大的促進作用”，故用contribute to表示“有助于，是……的原因之一”。owe to表示“歸功于，欠(債、情等)”，attach to表示“附上”，relate to表示“涉及，了解”。

　　答案：　B

　　15．解析：　本題考查非謂語動詞。根據the old man與wait之間的關系，應該選擇v.-ing形式，再根據句意得知他是先“wait”后才“realize”。所以先發生的動作應該用完成式having waited。

　　答案：　C

　　Ⅱ.完形填空

　　語篇解讀：　本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。文章講述了“我”在旅館里看到一只蒼蠅不停地試圖穿過玻璃飛出去，這無疑是在自殺。它完全可以從旁邊開著的門飛走。“我”從這件事得到啟發：人們在遇到困難的時候，不應冒昧地嘗試，應該有所突破，才有機會獲得成功。

　　1．解析：　句意為：我聽到了絕望的聲音。listen to“聽到”。A、B、C三項均沒有“聽到”的意思。

　　答案：　D

　　2．解析：　struggle意為“掙扎，斗爭”；cry意為“哭，喊叫”；yell意為“叫喊”；test意為“測試”。由第二段第四句中“the struggle is part of trap”的提示可知，此處應選用struggle。

　　答案：　A

　　3．解析：　bird意為“鳥”；fly意為“蒼蠅”；insect意為“昆蟲”；worm意為“爬蟲”。由第二段第五句中的“the fly to try hard enough to succeed in...”可知，B項正確。

　　答案：　B

　　4．解析：　experience意為“經驗，經歷”；direction意為“方向”；force意為“武力”；attempt意為“嘗試”。根據上下文語境可知，蒼蠅正在嘗試穿過玻璃飛出去。

　　答案：　D

　　5．解析：　thus意為“因而”；so意為“所以”；although意為“雖然”；however意為“然而”。句意為：雖然蒼蠅不斷地嘗試穿過玻璃窗，然而并不奏效。前后兩句是轉折關系。

　　答案：　D

　　6．解析：　unusual“不同尋常的”；likely“可能的”；impossible“不可能的”；common“尋常的”。由常識可知，蒼蠅是不可能成功穿過玻璃飛出去的。

　　答案：　C

　　7．解析：　dig“挖掘”；break“打破”；push“推”；jump“跳”。短語break through意為“突破，沖破”，符合語境。
