1、甘肃省白银市 20192019 届高三英语模拟试题(一) 第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分 4040分) 第一节:(共 1515小题;每小题 2 2 分,满分 3030分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项 (A A、B B、C C 和 D D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A BEING an astronaut sounds cool, doesnt it? In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like floating in zero gravity. However, there are also p
2、lenty of things that astronauts cant do because of their weightless environment, and thats very sad. Whats worse, they cant even let their sadness show because its impossible to cry in zero gravity. Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But crying is much more difficult in space, reported T
3、he Atlantic in January. Without gravity, tears dont flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on Earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to gothey just stick to your eyes. In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. “Tears,
4、“ he said, “dont fall off of your eye. They just kind of stay there.“ Besides making your vision unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But thats not the case in space. The space environment dries out astronauts eyes, and when tear
5、s suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. “My right eye is painful like crazy.“ Feustel told his teammate during the walk. Since gravity doesnt work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the t
6、ears away. Another choice is to just wait“When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around,“ astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic. There are lots of small thingsthings like crying that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted, until they become a
7、 problem in a totally different environment, like space. There, astronauts cant talk to each other directly. They also cant eat or drink in normal ways. They cant even burp (打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end - 1 - up throwing up (
8、呕吐) everything in their stomach, according to the UK National Space Center. Thus, perhaps its only space explorers who can honestly say: “Gravity, youre the best.“ 1. What can we conclude from paragraphs 2 and 3? A. Astronauts are unable to feel sad in space. B. Astronauts produce fewer tears in spa
9、ce. C. Tears produced in space flow down more slowly. D. Tears produced in space dont flow downward. 2. What effect do tears have on astronauts? A. They cause physical pain. B.

10、onaut do to get rid of the tears? A. Rub his eyes against his helmet to let the tears float forward. B. Rub his eyes by hand to let the tears float around. C. Get the tears big enough to fall off of his eyes. D. Get the tears big enough to break away from his eyes. 4. When of the following can be th
11、e best title for the text? A. In the sky, you cant burp B. Better life with gravity C. In the sky, you cant cry D. No Gravity, no tears B B What will man be like in the future in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different fr
12、om what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may suppose that man will c
13、ontinue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and finally we shall need our brains - 2 - more and more, and finally we sh
14、all need larger ones! This is likely to bring a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over long period of time it is likely t
15、hat mans eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? This will probabl
16、y disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald. Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the
17、 same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. 5The passage mainly tells us that _. A. Mans life will be different in the future B. Future man will look quite different from us C
18、. Man is growing taller and uglier as time passes D. Mans organs functions will change 6What serves as the evidence that man is changing? A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had. B. Mans hair is getting thinner and thinner. C. Mans arms and legs have become lighter and weaker. D. Man has b
