Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2018·郑州一模)After two years of careful consideration, Robert McCrum has reached a conclusion on his selection of the 100 greatest novels written in English.Take a look at a few in his list：
The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan (1678)
A story of a man in search of truth told with the simple clarity and beauty of Bunyan's prose makes this an English classic.
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe (1719)
By the end of the 19th century, no book in English literary history had enjoyed more editions and translations.This world­famous novel is a complex literature that one cannot resist.
Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift (1726)
A great work that's been repeatedly printed, Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels comes third in our list of the best novels written in English.
Clarissa by Samuel Richardson (1748)
Clarissa is a tragic heroine, pressured by her dishonorable family to marry a wealthy man she dislikes, in the book that Samuel Johnson described as “the first book in the world that shows the knowledge about the human heart”．
Tom Jones by Henry Fielding (1749)
Tom Jones is a classic English novel that gets the spirit of its age and whose characters are well­known since they have come to represent the society at that time.
Emma by Jane Austen (1816)
Jane Austen's Emma is her most outstanding work, mixing the best parts of her early books with a deep sense of feelings.
The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe (1838)
Edgar Allan Poe's only novel—a classic adventure story with supernatural elements—has fascinated and influenced generations of writers.

【答案与解析】
1．A　细节理解题。根据“Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe (1719)”中第一句可知20世纪前Robinson Crusoe的译本最多。
2．C　细节理解题。根据“Clarissa by Samuel Richardson (1748)”中“…in the book that Samuel Johnson described as ‘the first book in the world that shows the knowledge about the human heart’．”可知赛缪尔·约翰森认为这本书带给我们的是关于人类心灵方面的知识。
3．D　细节推理题。根据“Tom Jones by Henry Fielding (1749)”中的内容可知《汤姆·琼斯》是一部经典的英国小说，它具有那个时代的精神，而且其角色因为具有社会代表性而闻名。
B
As computers become more and more popular in China，Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters.But if they use the computer too much，they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画) of each Chinese character when writing on paper.Experts suggest people，especially students，write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing，students start using a computer as early as primary school.And computer dependence is more widespread among university students.Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer.And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education.But when people are taking_stock_in computers increasingly，problems appear.
“When I'm writing with a pen，I find I often can't remember how to write a character，though I feel I'm familiar with it.”
“I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”
Many students don't feel this is something to worry about.Now that it's more convenient and efficient to write on a computer，why bother to handwrite?
Many educators think differently.Shi Liwei，the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital，said，“Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value.But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value.All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost.And handwriting contains the writer's emotion.Through one's handwriting，people can get to know one's thinking and personality.Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”
To encourage students to handwrite more，many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的) and in universities，some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
4．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A．The Importance of Handwriting and Typing
B．To Type or to Handwrite
C．Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand
D．Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters
5．The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because________.
A．they are usually asked to e­mail their homework and essays
B．they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently
C．they find it not easy to remember how to write a character
D．computers have become a trend and fashion in China
6．Which of the following statements is NOT true of the advantages of handwriting?
A．Handwriting contains the writer's emotion.
B．The writer's thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.
C．Handwriting can impress people well and build one's self­confidence.
D．Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.
7．The underlined expression “taking stock in”probably means________.
A．getting bored with
B．getting dependent on
C．becoming crazy about
D．getting curious about
【答案与解析】
4．B　主旨大意题。文章围绕“应该依靠电脑打字还是手写”展开论证。故选B。
5．B　细节理解题。由第四段第一句“It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer.”可知学生依赖电脑是因为电脑方便、快捷、容易修改。
6．C　细节理解题。由倒数第二段的“Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”可知漂亮的书写才会给人留下好的第一印象，但并未提到树立自信，故选C。
7．B　词义猜测题。结合上文的computer dependence和下文的表述，可推出take stock in意为“相信”。
C
(河北省武邑中学2018届高三下学期第五次模拟)Samanta Schweblin, one of the best young Spanish language novelists nominated (提名) by British literary magazine Granta, has visited Beijing to promote the first Chinese edition of a collection of her short stories.The collection, Birds in the Mouth, has been translated and published by Shanghai­based publisher Reader.
“Sometimes I hold the Chinese edition and choose a story at random and try to guess which one it is.But it is almost impossible for me; even the length is different，” says Schweblin.“When a book is translated into a Western language, I can at least understand some parts of my stories, and therefore suffer some doubt about the quality of the translation.But my Chinese edition is more like an act of faith.”
Born in Argentina in 1978, Schweblin says she is influenced by the literary traditions of the La Plata area, home to many famous Latin­American novelists.
Interested in writing stories of ordinary lives where suddenly something extraordinary happens, something new, strange or unknown, she thinks, “The stranger and the unknown are not always related to ghosts or aliens, but can be something related to the known world, something that actually could happen.”
Birds in the Mouth tells of a divorced father who worries about his 13­year­old daughter and her mysterious appetites.It turns out that his daughter eats live birds.
The idea for this story came to Schweblin when she was browsing the Internet, “Click, click, click, a picture of a little girl who looks frightened with her hands covering her mouth came to my eyes.Little by little, I developed the story in my mind, and then wrote it down，” recalls Schweblin.
Although there are elements of violence and bloodiness in Schweblin's stories, she skillfully hides them, thinking the trick to writing a thrilling story is to stop the monster from appearing, while maintaining a frightening and mysterious atmosphere.
8．Samanta Schweblin came to China to ________.
A．pay a visit to Beijing
B．translate her stories into Chinese
C．help to make her book more popular
D．publish her collection
9．When mentioning her Chinese edition, Schweblin thinks ________.
A．she suffers some doubt about the quality of the translation
B．her Chinese edition is slightly different from the original one
C．she can understand some parts of her Chinese edition
D．she has a strong belief in her Chinese edition
10．From the passage we can tell, the author ________.
A．has an appetite for writing something extraordinary
B．got the idea of her story Birds in the Mouth by design
C．tried to quit describing violent and bloody scenes in her story
D．thinks her writing style is mainly affected by some famous native novelists
11．We can probably read the passage in ________.
A．a textbook　　　 B．a newspaper

(2018·江西省新余市第一中学高三全真模拟考试英语试题)If you are in a dilemma about being self­taught or getting formal education, you have come to the right webpage.In this article, we note the advantages of each of these to help you decide which one would be the best for you.
Perhaps the biggest advantage of being self­taught is that you are able to save a lot of money.With each passing year, the cost of getting a degree is on the rise.As a result, many students these days tend to graduate from college with a significant amount of debt.This makes it necessary for them to get a job as soon as possible, otherwise a number of serious issues may arise.Besides, it is possible to learn faster on your own, by focusing on only those areas that you are interested in.Finally, learning on your own can be a great confidence builder.You have to struggle to gain knowledge but once you clear the basics on your own, you will find yourself being much more confident about your abilities.
One of the biggest advantages of formal education is that you get a degree which is a mark of recognition that you have achieved a level of knowledge in that particular field.Many companies tend to prefer candidates who have a college degree.What's more, though formal education lacks the convenience and flexibility of self­education, it offers you much more in terms of the actual structure of the learning process.Last, being formally educated means that you will enter a college or other similar educational institutions.There you will get the benefit of being taught and guided by learned teachers and other subject experts.This will be a big benefit as you will be able to take advantage of their experience and gain in­depth knowledge about the subject.
Thus, both formal education and self­education have their own sets of advantages.The choice between the two comes down to individual preferences as well as personal situations.
12．Which of the following is an advantage of self­education?
A．A faster pace of learning.
B．Being guided by subject experts.
C．A wider range of ways to gain knowledge.
D．Having more chances of getting part­time jobs.
13．To get the benefit of being taught by learned experts, you should________.
A．choose self­education　
B．enter an educational institution
C．work for learned teachers　
D．make use of webpages about education
14．What is the most important factor in choosing the way of education?
A．The reputation of educational institutions.
B．The knowledge of teachers and experts.
C．The opinions of relatives and friends.
D．One's preference and situations.
15．What the author's purpose of writing this text?
A．To promote a webpage about education.
B．To prove that self­education is the best choice.
C．To help readers choose between two forms of education.
D．To prove that it's difficult to decide on the proper education.
【答案与解析】
12．A　细节理解题。通读第二段内容可知，自学的三个优点，即省钱、进度快、建立自信心。据此可知，A项是第二个优点，故A项正确。
13．B　细节理解题。根据第三段第四、五句可知，要想受益于有学问的专家的指导，就必须进入大学或其他类似的教育机构，故B项正确。
14．D　细节理解题。根据文章尾句可知，接受正规教育和自学之间的选择取决于个人喜好和个人情况，故D项正确。
15．C　目的意图题。本文第一段告诉读者如果你正处于自学或接受正规教育的两难境地，那么你就来到了正确的网页。在这篇文章中，我们注意到每一种教育的优点，以帮助您决定哪一种最好；接着第二段第三段各自分析二者的优点，最后一段说正规教育和自我教育都有自己的优势。两者之间的选择取决于个人喜好和个人情况。由此可知本文旨在告诉读者如何在两种形式的教育之间做出选择，故C项正确。
