(2012·江西高考A 篇)
Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously.Jason was determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother.He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.
“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer.”Jason said，“He told us not to touch it.”
“He won’t find out.”Mark said，“I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”
Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment.But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.
It was a strange-looking machine—one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked.“It’s an experimental model，”his father had explained，“so don’t touch it under any circumstances.”But his father’s warning only served to make Mark more curious.Without any further thought，Mark turned on the power switch.The computer burst into life and seconds later，the screen turned into colors，shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen:“SPACE TRANSPORTER.” “Yes!”Mark cried excitedly，“It’s a computer game.I knew it!Dad’s only been pretending to work.He’s really been playing games instead.”A new message appeared on the screen: “ENTER NAMES VOYAGER 1：... VOYAGER 2：...”
Mark’s fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.
“INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED (自动回收程序已启动).”
The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume. “I think we’d better shut it off，Mark，”Jason yelled，reaching for the power switch.He was really frightened.
But his hand never reached the switch.A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen，wrapping the boys in its glow (光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing.Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life.And the boys were no longer there.On the screen，the letters changed.
“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL.DESTINATION (目的地)：MARS.RETRIEVE DATE:2025.” 1.Why did Mark touch the computer against his father’s warning?
A.He wanted to take a voyage. B.He wanted to practice his skill. C.He was so much attracted by it. D.He was eager to do an experiment. 2.Where did the boys’ father most likely work?
A.In an electronic factory. B.In a computer company.
C.In a scientific research center. D.In an information processing center. 3.Mark thought “SPACE TRANSPORTER” on the screen was the name of . A.a computer game B.a company website C.a software producer D.an astronomy program 4.Why did Jason want to shut off the computer? A.He was afraid of being scolded.
B.He didn’t like the loud noise and light. C.He didn’t want to play games any more.

D.He was afraid something dangerous might happen. 5.What happened to the boys at the end of the story? A.They were blown into the air. B.They were sent to another planet. C.They were hidden in the strong light.
D.They were carried away to another country. 技巧点拨 高考阅读理解之五大常考考点(2) 第二点：因果关系常考 一篇文章中出现由because/for/since/so/as a result等引导的表示原因或结果的语句，往往含金量非常高，是出题老师出细节题的最爱。 第三点：转折关系常考 我们在听力中经常听到说话一方要求另一方出去玩，另一方一般回答“I’d love to，but I am busy now.”。显然另一方强调的不是I’d love to而是but I am busy now.。阅读中也是一样，出现but/however/whereas等表示转折的词引导的语句往往成为细节题的出题点。 Ⅲ.七选五

Watching a sporting event with family and friends under the sun is a great experience in summer. 1 In the United States，heat exposure led to 8，000 deaths between 1979 and 2003.Luckily，a little prevention can go a long way towards making sure of an enjoyable day. Know the danger
Heat-related illnesses do not require record-breaking temperatures to occur. 2 The body’s temperature can reach 106 or 107 degrees Fahrenheit on a 90-degree day，creating a potentially deadly situation.Factors such as age，weight or a medical condition can influence people. Drink plenty of water
3 Sweating is your body’s key way to keep cool，so drink water to stay well hydrated(含水的) before you feel thirsty.A cool beer may sound perfect on a hot day，but drink responsibly.Alcohol stops the body’s cooling system and causes you to go to the bathroom frequently. 4
Wear light-colored and loosely fitting clothing，so air can go around your body and help keep you cool.A hat is a must to help you keep cool，since your head contains many blood vessels(血管)，and sun block(防晒乳) is always a good idea. Take action
What should you do if you are suffering from the heat while watching your favorite event?Get up and go.It is a simple piece of advice，but could make the difference between a quick recovery and something more severe that requires medical attention.The ideal thing is to move yourself from the position you’re in to an area that is a little cooler. 5 A.Dress for the occasion B.Weather-related causes C.In hot weather，it is essential to stay hydrated. D.You may miss a little of the action，but it beats missing a lot. E.But when you add sun exposure to the crowds，the results can be deadly. F.It is also important to take advantage of services the equipment provides. G.Temperatures between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit can be dangerous.

话题32 魔幻文学
Ⅰ.【语篇解读】英国一位女士将自己在抵抗心脏病过程中总结出来的一系列健康饮食搭配写成了一本烹饪书，而因为这本书，美国第一夫人邀请她到白宫共同烹制健康食品。
1.D 莎莉被邀去白宫是因为她写了一本烹饪书，第7空所在句后的The Secret Ingredient就是书名。 2.C life-threatening是个合成形容词，从字面意思上也可以看出意思是“威胁生命的，致命的”，long-life
“长寿的”和 lifespan“寿命”不合题意。
3.D suffer“遭受”，就是因为一周内遭受三次心脏病的打击，差点丧命。
4.B 这里是由which引导的一个定语从句，which在从句中作主语，这种情况损害了她心脏主动脉。 5.A 但是这位41岁的母亲不但生存下来而且成功做到了保持健康。manage强调结果成功。 6.C 这套健康饮食里面包含到了本空后面的一些食物来做例子，include只是在列举其中的一部分。
conclude“总结；决定”不合题意。
7.B 本空后面是个书名，而且我们已经知道这是一本关于烹调的书，所以用cookbook。 8.C 既然是关于烹调的书的作者，又被邀往白宫，当然是被第一夫人邀请一起做饭。 9.A 奥巴马夫人之所以邀请莎莉和她一起做饭，说明她也是这个健康食谱的热衷追随者。
10.C 本空的解题线索是第8个空前的invited。因为只是在电话上联系，所以通话的时候发出邀请。 11.D 受如此政要夫人之邀，莎莉当然很激动，这几个都是副词，absolutely“绝对地，完全地”最能表达
出莎莉欣喜若狂的心情。
12.A pick up在这里的意思是“得到；看到”。即莎莉没有想到自己的书会有如此大的影响力，竟然连
奥巴马的夫人也会看这本书。
13.B 所以她认为自己的一切付出都是值得的。worthwhile值得的。valuable“有价值的”，不合题意。 14.C 奥巴马夫人之所以喜欢这本书，在莎莉看来，两人的饮食烹调志趣相投，也就是有相似的看法。 15.D be keen on doing sth.“热衷于做某事”。两人都热衷于提高健康饮食。注意be expert on“在??
方面很娴熟，技艺高超”，但这里莎莉并不是在自夸和吹捧而是表明两人爱好相同。
16.B 本段是莎莉回忆五年前自己在死亡边缘的时刻，当时情况危急，丈夫赶回来以为要说永别。 17.D 此处为丈夫对即将离世的莎莉的表白。
18.A 莎莉回忆自己当时神志清醒但是就是说不出话来。A项和D项是一组反义词，如果神志不清就不
会感受到丈夫在哭和在表达情感了。
19.C 当时的莎莉只有呼吸这一最低的本能要求了。
20.D 当她想到孩子的时候，奇迹般还生，她意识到自己又活过来了，而新的战斗开始了，她终于迎来了
现在的生活。
Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇科幻小说。两兄弟Mark和Jason偷着玩爸爸的实验模型电脑而被带到2025年的火星上。
1.C 细节理解题。 Mark 打开爸爸的电脑完全是受好奇心驱使。由文章第四段的最后一句话“But his
curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.”及第五段的第三句话“But his father’s warning only served to make Mark more curious.”可知，Mark有强烈的好奇心，换句话说，他受到这台新电脑的强烈吸引。
2.C 推理判断题。由文章第五段的第一句话可知，这是一台他们的爸爸从实验室带回的实验模型电脑。
