试一试

【由湖南省2022高考十三校联考其次次考试改编】

阅读理解。阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

If you are a fan of J．K Rowling and her Harry Potter book series, you may be fascinated with the idea of an

invisible coat．You are not alone．Scientists have been working hard to produce a material which will make buildings

as well as people invisible．Now a Canadian company claims to have succeeded with magical textile （纺织品） called

"Quantum Stealth"．

British Columbia based on Hyperstealth Technology Corporation claims that the material makes its wearers

completely invisible, even to people with night glasses．

Also, just like the young wizard's coat, it is light-weight and does not need cameras, batteries, lights or mirrors to

operate．But best of all, it is cheap to make．

As to how it really works, the company keeps it a top secret．Besides stating that they have successfully managed

to bend light waves, so that they go round the material instead of through it, the company is not giving out any

details．What it does detail is all the good uses that Quantum Stealth could be put to-ranging from protecting US and

Canadian soldiers forced to step into enemy region, to allowing special armed forces to carry out surprise attack

without any fear of being seen．And if that is not enough they even imagine creating aircrafts and submarines （潜

水艇） that can go completely undetected．

To prove that Quantum Stealth really exists, the company has released photos and even a video showing its

magical properties．For those that are still sceptical, they have only one thing to say both the US and Canadian

military officials have witnessed it live and are so impressed that they are working with Hyper stealth Technology to

create the next generation "survival blanket" that could make the soldier invisible all at once! If this is indeed true,

we have only one question: When will this magical fabric be

available to the rest of us?

1．What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To bring in the topic．

B．To draw peopled attention to J．K Rowling and her idea．

C．To make the article interesting．

D．To introduce the Canadian company．

2．According to the passage, Quantum Stealth is _____．

A．an invisible coat worn by the wizard in the film "Harry Potter"

B．a type of material making its users invisible

C．an equipment employed as an alternative for cameras

D．an advanced weapon used to attack enemies

3．Which of the following words can be used to describe the coat?

A．Convenient but not expensive． B．Creative but heavy．

C．Ordinary and light． D．Magical and imaginary．

4．The third paragraph is mainly about _____．

A．there are no details about the material B．whether the material is true or false

C．the materials theory and functions D．the material has been put into practice

5．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

The purpose of a letter of application(求职信)is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state 1

the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 2 . It should be simple,

human, personal and brief without 3 any necessary fact.

In writing such a letter, keep in 4 what a possible employer is most 5 to want to know about,

therefore, the opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 6 the first few sentences fail

to 7 the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be 8 at all. Try to key your opening

remarks to the needs of the employer not 9 your own needs of desire. For example, instead of

beginning with “I saw your 10 in today’s paper,” you might say “I have made a careful 11 of your

advertising during the past six months.” 12 “I have made a survey(调查)to find out how many

housewives use your product and why they like it.”

Be clear about the kind of job you are now 13 .Try to avoid(避开)generalities. College 14

looking for their first positions often ask, “What can I 15 against such a situation in a letter?

Employer want experience—which, naturally, no 16 has.” The answer is that everything you have

ever done is 17 .

It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 18 a specific request for an

interview or give the possible employer something clear to do or expect. An excellent19 is to

enclose(内附)a stamped, self-addressed envelop with your letter, which makes it 20 for a possible

employer to get in touch with you.

( ) 1. A. clearly B. carefully C. seriously D. easily

提示:本段第一句是文章的论点，下文都是围绕在求职中如何“推销”自己开放论述。后文表明正确

地推销自己并被雇用不是一件简洁的事，排解D项。本段最终一句对求职信的要求表明:求职信

重要的是表达清楚，因此，正确答案为A。

答案:A

( ) 2. A. found B. done C. known D. heard

提示:求职信应当说明你做过什么，有哪方面的阅历，所以，正确答案为B。下文有该答案的示意。

答案:B

( ) 3. A. sending out B. taking out C. leaving out D. picking out

提示:上文说求职信应表达清楚，本句进一步说不要有遗漏。

答案:C

( ) 4. A. brain B. sight C. order D. mind

答案:D

( ) 5. A. probably B. possibly C. likely D. able

提示:本题考查词的辨析。从语法上讲四个选项都正确，但是able用在此处语意不通;probable和

possible作表语时都不用人作主语;likely作表语时既可以人作主语也可物作主语。

答案:C

( ) 6. A. While B. Now that C. As D. If

答案:D

( ) 7. A. pay B. win C. show D. fix

提示:解此题时应留意词的搭配和用法:pay attention to 和fix one’s attention on 的主语为发出该

动作的人;win one’s attention 的主语为被留意的对象。

答案:B

( ) 8. A. kept B. continued C. written D. read

提示:解此题时，不妨将四个选项分别代入空格，依据语意的不同，很简洁找出正确答案是D。全

句的意思为:假如一封信的前几句引不起读信人的留意，那么这封信的剩余部分就不会被读下去

了。

答案:D

( ) 9. A. to B. for C. into D. from

提示:从前文看，应选A。key +n.意为“调整……(使适合)”。例如:His topic was keyed to young

people.(他使话题适合年轻人的口味。)

答案:A

( ) 10. A. advertisement B. instruction C. article D. introduction

答案:A

( ) 11. A. watch B. search C. study D. discussion

提示:解此题时，一是考虑语境;二是留意固定搭配，习惯上说:keep watch(for);make a

search(for);make a study of。

答案:C

( ) 12. A. and B. besides C. or D. rather than

答案:C

( ) 13. A. working at B. asking for C. preparing for D. taking up

提示:通篇文章都讲如何在求职信中推销自己，所以A、C、D项都与上下文不符。

答案:B

( ) 14. A. graduates B. students C. experts D. professors

提示:依据后文their first position排解C、D项。找工作一般都是毕业生的事，不是在校生的事，

所以正确答案为A。

答案:A

( ) 15. A. describe B. consider C. mean D. provide

提示:联系前文“Try to avoid generalities.”和后文“Employers want experience”，不难选出本题的正确

答案provide(供应)。

答案:D

( ) 16. A. worker B. beginner C. learner D. manager

提示:worker 和manager不缺少阅历，最佳答案为B。

答案:B

( ) 17. A. success B. development C. practicee D. experience

答案:D

( ) 18. A. Make B. Ask C. State D. Get

提示:make a request(to sb. for sth.)(向某人)恳求(某物)。

答案:A

( ) 19. A. result B. decision C. promise D. idea

答案:D

( ) 20. A. happier B. easier C. cheaper D. safer

提示:C项干扰性较强。对于一个雇主来说，一封信和一枚邮票价值不大，他宠爱的是便利。

答案:B

He has vowed that he will not stop building his business until it is worth £100 million. But hard-working Owens

can stop for at least a moment's celebration after making his first £1 million at the age of 16. Owens, who has used a

computer since the age of seven, began teaching himself basic web design at the age of ten when he was given his

first Mac computer. He used his pocket money to fund his first business project, website Mac Box Bundle at just 14

which has made £700,000 since its establishment in 2008. Mac Box Bundle sells a combination of popular Mac

applications which are worth up to $400 together for under just $100 and donates 10 percent of the money to

charities.

He then established an advertising company Branchr a year later and worked on the business after school and at

weekends. Branchr made a surprising £500,000 in its first year. Branchr works as a platform for website owners to sell

advertising.

Owens, from Northampton, currently employs eight staff---all adults---around the UK and America as sales and

technical assistants. The young man lives with his parents. His mother who is a company secretary said he was

inspired to go into business after observing the huge success achieved by Apple's chief executive officers(首席执行官)

Steve Jobs.

Owens said, "I think everyone has business sense in them, and they just need to gain experience and be

determined to make it. There is no magical formula(法则) for business, It takes hard work, determination and the

drive to do something great. My aim is to become a leading name in the world of Internet and mobile advertising and

push myself right to the top of the game.

The teenager insists his professional success has not affected his personal life, and says his interests include

photography and playing the guitar. "My friends and I don't really talk about my success. To them I'm just a normal

teenager and it doesn't change anything between us."

7 From Paragraph 2 we know that Branchr _____________.

A. takes up all Owens' spare time

B. offers a platform for advertising business

C. designs practical software for website owners

D. takes up advertising business for Nac Box Bundle

8 Why did Owens come up with the idea of doing business?

A. Because eight adults were ready to help.

B. Because it was easy to establish web companies.

C. Because his parents wanted him to have a try.

D. Because he drew inspiration from Steve jobs.

9 Owens tends to think that ____________.

A. every person has potential talent for business

B. getting experienced in business needs determination

C. it is hard work for people to decide to do something great.

D. he is sure to play a leading part in the world of the Internet.

英国北安普敦16岁男孩欧文斯从14岁起，通过创建网站和开办网络公司，在过去短短两年的时间里，狂赚

了120万英镑，成为英国最年轻的百万富翁。

D. 细节理解题。由第一段"But hard-working Owens can stop for at least a moment's celebration after making his

first £1 million at the age of 16. "以及"donates 10 percent of the money to charities."可知，欧文斯不仅在事业

上获得了成功，而且还热心公益事业。

B. 细节理解题。由其次段"Branchr works as a platform for website owners to sell advertising."可知，Branchr供应

开展广告业务的平台。

D.细节理解题。由第三段"...he was inspired to go into business after observing the huge success achieved by Apple's

chief executive officers(首席执行官) Steve Jobs."可知，欧文斯受到苹果公司首席执行官史蒂夫乔布斯事业成

功的启发，产生了经商的念头。

A。细节理解题。由第四段 "I think everyone has business sense in them, and they just need to gain experience and

be determined to make it. "可知，欧文斯认为每个人都有潜在的经商才能。

C。细节理解题。由最终一段"To them I'm just a normal teenager and it doesn't change anything between us."可知，
