解析試題分析:本文介紹了三位出類(lèi)拔萃、影響世界的美國(guó)青少年,告訴人們堅(jiān)持夢(mèng)想,一切皆有可能。
【小題1】C名詞辨析。根據(jù)文章第一段(總起段落)的最后一句話(huà)可知,整篇文章講的是出類(lèi)拔萃的美國(guó)青少年,從文章第二段開(kāi)始例舉,Winter Vinecki 是第一個(gè)例子。所以該句句意:“15歲的Winter Vinecki比許多人終其一生所取得的‘成功’還要多!保收_答案為C.
【小題2】C形容詞辨析。A. passive “消極的,被動(dòng)的”;  B. sensitive“敏感的,易怒的”; C. aggressive“侵略的;有進(jìn)取心的”; D. negative“否定的,消極的”,根據(jù)該句的下一句“ He died 10 months later.”,顯然她父親的病情很?chē)?yán)重,故選 aggressive“侵略的”,來(lái)作定語(yǔ)進(jìn)行修飾, “a rare and aggressive form of prostate cancer ”意為:“一種罕見(jiàn)的侵略性的前列腺癌”。
【小題3】A名詞性從句連接詞的選擇。根據(jù)該句句意:“也就是‘在那時(shí)’針對(duì)前列腺癌癥的研究和認(rèn)識(shí)我成立了Winter團(tuán)隊(duì)!,即該表語(yǔ)從句缺表示時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)的連接詞,故選A.when.
【小題4】D名詞辨析。A. development“發(fā)展”; B. threat“恐嚇,威脅”; C. panic“恐慌,驚慌”; D. awareness“認(rèn)識(shí),意識(shí)”,該處for + n.表示W(wǎng)inter團(tuán)隊(duì)的價(jià)值理念所在,除了對(duì)于前列腺癌的研究,還有就是針對(duì)與對(duì)癌癥的‘認(rèn)識(shí)’了。
【小題5】A動(dòng)詞辨析。A.take有“講授,帶領(lǐng)”之意,其結(jié)構(gòu)為“take sth/ take sb (for sth)”,例如:The head teacher usually takes us for French.校長(zhǎng)通常給我們上法語(yǔ)課。B. received“收到”; C. searched“搜尋”; D. tested“測(cè)驗(yàn)”,該句句意:“她在世界范圍內(nèi)‘進(jìn)行’前列腺癌的教育!,故正確答案為A.
【小題6】A 介詞辨析。A. through“通過(guò)…”; B. off“離開(kāi),偏離”; C. over“在…之上”;D. beyond“超出…”,而該句句意:“她在世界范圍內(nèi)進(jìn)行前列腺癌的教育是‘通過(guò)’馬拉松長(zhǎng)跑的這種方式!惫收_答案為A.
【小題7】B副詞辨析。A. officially“官方地,正式地”; B. continually“不斷地”; C. peacefully        “和平地,平靜地”; D. temporarily“暫時(shí)地,臨時(shí)地”,該句句意:“在美國(guó),她‘頻繁地’旅行,宣講前列腺癌的知識(shí),敦促(力勸)其他人行動(dòng)起來(lái)!保收_答案為B.
【小題8】C動(dòng)詞辨析。A. promise“承諾”; B. pay“花費(fèi)”; C. urge“力勸,敦促”; D. prefer“更喜歡”,此處句意:“‘力勸’人們行動(dòng)起來(lái)!,故正確答案為C.
【小題9】D連詞辨析。A. for“因?yàn)椤保?B. before“在…之前”; C. unless“除非”; D. but“但是”,該句句意:“前列腺癌雖然司空見(jiàn)慣,‘但是’男人們都不愿談及此事!奔磧删溟g的邏輯關(guān)系是“轉(zhuǎn)折”,故正確答案為D.
【小題10】C代詞/名詞辨析。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境和句意:“所以,這就是一個(gè)9歲女孩不得不走出去,開(kāi)始給‘男人們’談?wù)摯瞬〉脑!,該處用them指代上文出現(xiàn)的男人們,故正確答案為C.
【小題11】D動(dòng)詞辨析。A. cures“治愈”; B. improves“改良,提高”; C. prevents“防止,預(yù)防”; D. identifies“識(shí)別”,因?yàn)樵摽账诘亩ㄕZ(yǔ)從句所限定的先行詞是sensor“傳感器,感應(yīng)器”,故定語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)選D. identifies識(shí)別。該句句意:“他發(fā)明了一種廉價(jià)的能‘識(shí)別’胰腺癌、卵巢癌和肺癌的感應(yīng)器。”
【小題12】B名詞辨析。A. experiments“實(shí)驗(yàn),試驗(yàn)”; B. devices“裝置”;C. trials“試驗(yàn)”;D. data“數(shù)據(jù),資料”,所選的名詞要作動(dòng)詞develop的賓語(yǔ),且根據(jù)下一句話(huà)所介紹的該名詞的作用“help identify and remove”(幫助識(shí)別和清除…)可知,正確答案為B.
【小題13】B名詞辨析。根據(jù)上文中提到的該裝置為“water quality devices”水質(zhì)裝置,所以它的功能顯然是把重金屬物質(zhì)和有害物質(zhì)從“水中”去除掉。故正確答案為B.water.
【小題14】C動(dòng)詞辨析。 A. carried“攜帶”; B. exposed“使…暴露于/處于/面臨…”; C. employed“雇傭;使用”; D.handled“拿/抓(某物);處理/管理(事情/情況)”,該處的動(dòng)詞要非謂語(yǔ)化作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ),且根據(jù)該句句意:“我希望看到它們(我的發(fā)明設(shè)備)‘被應(yīng)用’到發(fā)展中國(guó)家!惫收_答案為C.employed “被使用”。
【小題15】D動(dòng)詞辨析。A. failing“失敗”; B. fleeing “逃跑”; C. declining“減少;衰退,衰落”; D. dying“死”,根據(jù)該句的狀語(yǔ)部分“in gun violence”(在槍擊暴力中),too many young people 為主語(yǔ),所以謂語(yǔ)應(yīng)選D. (was)dying.該句句意:“她說(shuō),太多的年輕人在槍擊暴力中喪生!
【小題16】D名詞辨析。A. revolution“革命,變革”; B. discussion“討論”; C. business“生意,業(yè)務(wù);事情”; D. campaign“活動(dòng);戰(zhàn)役”,該句句意:“她還發(fā)起了一場(chǎng)教育年輕人聲討槍擊暴力的‘運(yùn)動(dòng)’”,故正確答案為D.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2014-2015學(xué)年貴州遵義航天高級(jí)中學(xué)高二上期中英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

During the 19th century, women’s education was not considered important in the United States. Supporters of advanced education for women faced many problems. States did require each town to provide a school for children, but teachers were often poorly prepared. Most young women were not able to continue on with their education in private schools. If they did, they often were not taught much except the French language, how to sew (縫制) clothing, and music.

Mary Lyon felt that women’s education was extremely important. Through her lifelong work for education she became the most famous woman in the 19th century America. She believed that women were teachers both at home and in the classroom. And she believed that efforts to better educate young women also served God. If women were better educated, she felt, they could teach in local schools throughout the United States and in foreign countries.

In 1837, Mary Lyon opened Mount Holyoke Seminary for Women. Only four teachers and the first class of eighty young women lived and studied in the building when the school opened. But Mary knew the importance of what had been established (建立) — the first independent school for the higher education of women. The school continued to grow. In 1893, under a state law, Mount Holyoke Female Seminary became a college. Mount Holyoke College was the first college to offer women the same education as was offered to men.

People who have studied Mary Lyon say she was not fighting a battle (戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)) of equality between men and women, yet she knew she wanted more for women. Her efforts led to the spread of higher education for women in the United States. Historians say she was the strongest influence on the education of American young people during the middle of the 19th century.

1.What did Mary Lyon think would be a result of better education for women?

A. They could be teachers in local schools in the USA and in foreign countries.

B. They could help their children with the homework.

C. They could help their husbands with the work.

D. They could help their parents with the housework.

2.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?

A. Teachers were poorly prepared in the 19th century.

B. Mount Holyoke Seminary for Women was the first independent school for the higher education of women in the United States.

C. Mount Holyoke College only taught women French.

D. Young women studied French, sewing and music in private schools in the 19th century.

3.What contributions did Mary make to education?

A. She taught a great number of young women.

B. She made the law protect men’s right to education.

C. She was responsible for the spread of higher education for women in the USA.

D. She succeeded in developing her own education system.
