2020年高考第二輪復習英語山東版專題升級訓練十五閱讀理解(四)第一節(jié)閱讀理解A(2020山東高考壓軸卷，D)Han Jiangxue，a 33­year­old Beijing native，made his own episode(系列中的一部分)of CCTV 10's Lecture Room(Baijia Jiangtan)after the program rejected him three times.“They said I didn't meet the show's criteria(標準)because I didn't have an associate professor title，” said Han.Han，an international major who graduated from the University of International Business and Economics in 1998，has been studying and writing history for years.With only 30,000 yuan，Han recorded a 6­hour­long video of himself lecturing on the Song Dynasty.Han shot the video in the Lecture Room format，using a simple setting，an off­screen voice and photo illustrations(說明)The video soon became a hit after Han posted it online in September.It was called the “copycat” version of Lecture Room.“I wanted to find a channel to make my voice heard，” Han said.“Since there were too few chances to do this in the traditional way，I tried to figure out a wild way，and it worked.”Han takes the word “copycat” as a compliment，rather than as criticism.“The word represents a grassroots movement，” he said.“It means ordinary people enjoying the same rights and.doing something that could only be done by the professionals before.”Han thinks his video is innovative(創(chuàng)新的)，even though it copies the format of the Lecture Room show.He points out that he wrote the lecture himself.“If you just copy，no one will be interested；you need to be creative，” Han said.He wants to give another lecture，on European history，which has never been dealt with on Lecture Room.“Next time，I want to use a different format.”1CCTV rejected Han because _.Ahe was an international majorBhe was not an associate professorChe studied history for only a few yearsDhis video was too simple答案：B解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據第一段最后可知，拒絕的原因是他沒有助教職稱。2Han became successful online because _.Ahe copied the format of the Lecture Room showBhe spent 30,000 yuan on his videoChe wrote the lecture himself and his video was innovativeDhe graduated from the University of International Business and Economics答案：C解析：細節(jié)理解題。倒數第二段說明了他的錄像的優(yōu)點所在。盡管形式上和百家講壇一樣，但是有創(chuàng)新，而且講演稿都是他親自編寫的。3The average cost of one­hour­long video of Mr.Han is _.A500 yuanB30,000 yuanCabout 5000 yuan Dabout 30,000 yuan答案：C解析：推理判斷題。根據第二段最后可知，他花費3萬元錄制了6個小時的錄像，即每小時5千元。4Why did Han Jiangxue post his video online?ABecause he wanted to show it off to CCTV.BBecause he wanted to make his voice heard.CBecause he had no other way to do it.DBecause he thought the Internet is popular.答案：B解析：細節(jié)理解題。中央電視臺曾三次拒絕了他的節(jié)目，根據第四段可知，他還是要想辦法讓人們聽到他的聲音，所以自費錄制了節(jié)目并發(fā)在了網上。5What did Han Jiangxue think of people's comment about his video?AHe thought they loved his video.BHe thought it was a criticism.CHe didn't take it seriously.DHe thought it as an encouragement.答案：A解析：推理判斷題。根據第三段“The video soon became a hit.”和第四段“.it worked”以及第五段他對“山寨”的理解可知，他認為人們很喜歡他的講演。hit意為“成功的事情”；work表示“起作用，行得通”。BTHE EARTH CENTREYou might have heard about the centre of the earth but have you heard of the Earth Centre？It is a new South Yorkshire

to find out whether energy from trees can power a network of sensors(傳感器)to prevent spreading forest fires.What they learn could also raise the possibility of using trees as silent guards along the nation's borders to discover potential threats such as smuggled(走私的)radioactive materials.The US.Forest Service currently predicts and tracks fires with a variety of tools，including remote automatic weather stations.But these stations are expensive and sparsely(稀疏地)distributed.Additional sensors could save trees by providing better local climate data to be used in fire prediction models and earlier warnings.However，recharging or replacing batteries by hand at very hard­to­reach locations makes it impractical and costly.The new sensor system seeks to avoid this problem by developing trees into a self­sustaining power supply.Each sensor is equipped with a battery that can be slowly recharged using electricity produced by the tree.“A single tree doesn't generate a lot of power，but over time the trickle(細流)charge adds up，just like _” said Shuguang Zhang，one of the researchers on the project and the associate director of the MIT's Center for Biomedical Engineering(CBE)The system produces enough electricity to allow the temperature and humidity sensors to wirelessly send out signals four times a day，or immediately if there's a fire.Each signal spreads from one sensor to another，until it reaches an existing weather station that sends the data by satellite to a forestry command center in Boise，Idaho.Scientists have long known that trees can produce extremely small amounts of electricity.But no one knew exactly how the energy was produced or how to take advantage of the power.11What are the disadvantages of the remote automatic weather stations?aThey cost too much.bThey are of poor quality.cThey are not enough.dThey can't reach remote places.Aa，b Bb，dCa，c Db，c答案：C解析：細節(jié)理解題。文章第三段提到美國森林服務機構現在所采用的工具和方法花費高、分布少。故選C項。12Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank?AFar water does not put out near fire.BAll rivers run into sea.CMany a little makes a mickle.DIt never rains but it pours.答案：C解析：推理判斷題。根據上下文可知此處為“積少成多”的含義，故C項適合。A項意為“遠水救不了近火”；B項意為“條條江河歸大?！?；D項意為“不雨則已，一雨傾盆；不鳴則已，一鳴驚人”。13What Shuguang Zhang said in Paragraph 4 means that _.Aa single tree is enough to generate much powerBthe power from the tree can't be storedCtrees can generate enough power for our lifeDa tree can produce the electricity to meet the needs of a sensor答案：D解析：細節(jié)理解題。第四段中研究人員指出，一棵樹產生不了多少能量，但隨著時間的推移，細小的能量會不斷增加，就像不斷滴水的水龍頭也能滴滿一桶水一樣，D項理解正確。14What would the author talk about after the last paragraph of the passage?AThe amount of electricity trees produce.BHow trees produce electricity.CTrees' contribution to society.DThe research process of tree power.答案：B解析：推理判斷題。文章最后一段最后一句提到沒人確切地知道樹怎么產生能量，也不知道人們如何利用這些能量，因而，下文會就此展開論述，故選B項。15What would

Energy答案：A解析：主旨大意題。文章第一段就點明主題：如何利用樹所產生的能量預防森林火災，A項概括了文章的主旨。DMost people nowadays are persistently seeking for opportunities that will assist them in reaching their goals.Marketing yourself is when there is a demand for you and your services that will help you achieve your goals.Marketing yourself means you are simply “selling” yourself！The common problem in marketing yourself is that most people think that it is nasty to do this.They think that marketing concerns only to a business.Of course，this is absolutely not true.People who want to attain the success they desire must promote themselves.In every attempt you make，just think that marketing yourself is a very useful tool.The better you market yourself，the more opportunities you will have.Marketing yourself does not really mean telling every person how beautiful and wonderful you are.It simply means telling your prospective employer that you exist，that you have the possibility of generating much greater income than your prospective employer makes.Or maybe you have the chance of doing something better.There are actually several different ways of marketing yourself.But there are only two primary approaches that you implement(實施)The first is you find ways to reach out to others and the second is to construct ways in order for the people to find you and make connection with you.In order for you to reach out and touch the lives of others，you have to be a good person and a good employee.In that way your good reputation will follow naturally.Have a brief and concise(簡明)message that you can share with others.When you market yourself，you tell people who you are and what you can do for others.Plan well and practice your message.In constructing ways for the people to notice and make connection with you，you must be open to them.Bear in mind that communication is a great opportunity to make an impact especially when you market yourself.You also communicate by what you are wearing.Know the appropriate dress code and have plenty of time to decide what you will wear.Just remember to make a great first impression!16According to the passage，in general people tend to think marketing yourself _.Ais a very useful toolBwill make you have more opportunitiesCis nasty and concerns only to a businessDis natural答案：C解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段“The common problem in marketing yourself is that most people think that it is nasty to do this.They think that marketing concerns only to a business.”可知，大部分人認為推銷自己是不好的事，他們認為推銷只和商業(yè)有關系，所以選C項。17All of the following are true about marketing yourself except _.Aif you can market yourself better，you will have more opportunitiesBif you want to succeed，you must learn how to market yourselfCmarketing yourself simply means making your boss know you can make more money than himDmarketing yourself really means telling others you are beautiful and wonderful答案：D解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段“Marketing yourself does not really mean telling every person how beautiful and wonderful you are.”可知D項不是事實。18In order to market yourself well，you can do these things except _.Apraise yourself greatlyBwear appropriatelyChave a brief and clear messageDbe open to others答案：A解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據第四段“Have a brief and concise(簡明)message that you can share with others.”可知C項正確；根據第五段“.you must be open to them.”和“Know the appropriate dress code and have plenty of time to decide what you will wear.”可知B、D兩項正確。A項文中未提及。19It can be concluded from the passage that _.Athere are only two ways of marketing yourselfBcommunication plays an important part in marketing yourselfCyou needn't spent plenty of time to decide what you will wearDmarketing yourself simply means telling your employer you must earn much greater than him答案：B解析：推理判斷題。根據第五段“Bear in mind that

active learning.Therefore，successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language but _.They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake.They will try anything to communicate.They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things.They are willing to make mistakes and try again.When communication is difficult，they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete.It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.4Finally，successful language learners are learners with a purpose.They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language.5What kind of language learners are you？If you are a successful language learner，you have probably
