(2021·江苏高三)Throughout history, people have promoted stories of curse. Here are some famous ones.
King Tut’s Curse
In 1923, a British archaeological team opened the tomb of "King Tut". Two months later, when the team’s sponsor died from a bacterial infection, British newspapers claimed that was because of "King Tut’s curse". Whenever other members of the team died, the media mentioned the curse gain.
Though it’s not clear how many people took the curses seriously, these stories became popular subjects for some horror movies and comedies.
The Curse of the Polish King’s tomb
In 1973, a group of archaeologists opened the tomb of Polish king Casimir IV in Poland. European media covered the great event, and the researchers joked they were risking a curse on the tomb by opening it.
When some team members began to die shortly after, some media suspected it was due to a curse. Later, experts discovered traces of deadly bacteria inside the tomb that could cause lung illnesses when breathed in.
The Curse of Tippecanoe
In the mid-20th century, US media began to note a pattern that, starting with Harrison and ending with Kennedy, every 20years the country elected a president to die in office.
Believe It or Not claimed the "pattern" was due to a curse placed by the chief of Shawnee, Tecumseh, on Harrison and future presidents after Harrison’s troops defeated Tecumseh’s at the battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. This story bears a similarity to other "curses" in US books and movies about disturbing Native burial grounds.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个著名诅咒的故事。
1.What can be learned from the first two curses?
A. It was the media that made up the curses.
B. Whoever opened the tombs would be cursed.
C. All he members died after the opening of the tombs.
D. The bacteria in the tombs could probably cause the deaths.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据King Tut’s Curse部分中的“Two months later, when the team’s sponsor died from a bacterial infection, British newspapers claimed that was because of "King Tut’s curse".(两个月后，当该队的赞助商死于细菌感染时，英国报纸声称这是“图坦卡蒙的诅咒”造成的)”及The Curse of the Polish King’s tomb部分中的“When some team members began to die shortly after, some media suspected it was due to a curse. Later, experts discovered traces of deadly bacteria inside the tomb that could cause lung illnesses when breathed it.(当一些队员不久就开始死亡时，一些媒体怀疑是由于诅咒。后来，专家们在陵墓中发现了致命细菌的痕迹，这些细菌被吸入后可能会导致肺部疾病)”可知，从前两个诅咒中我们可以了解到坟墓里的细菌可能导致死亡。故选D。
2.The underlined word "Shawnee" in the last paragraph may refer to________.
A. evil spirits B. loyal guards C. powerful gods D. American natives
【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Believe It or Not claimed the "pattern" was due to a curse placed by the chief of Shawnee, Tecumseh, on Harrison and future presidents after Harrison’s troops defeated Tecumseh’s at the battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. This story bears a similarity to other "curses" in US books and movies about disturbing Native burial grounds.(“信不信由你”声称，这种“模式”是Shawnee酋长特库姆塞在1811年蒂皮卡诺战役中击败特库姆塞之后对哈里森和后来的总统们的诅咒。这个故事与美国书籍和电影中关于扰乱原住民墓地的其他“诅咒”相似)”可推知，Shawnee指的是下文中的Native(原住民)，即American natives。故选D。
3.In which section of a newspaper may you find the text above?
A. Events. B. Mystery. C. Religion. D. Entertainment.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“Throughout history, people have promoted stories of curse. Here are some famous ones.(纵观历史，人们一直在宣扬诅咒的故事。这里有一些著名的)”可推知，你可以在报纸的神秘版块找到这篇文章。故选B。
B
(宁夏吴忠中学2020-2021学年高二12月月考英语试题)What killed King Tut? Historians and scientists have long believed that ancient Egypt’s most famous king was probably murdered. But a recent scientific study claims to have found a different answer to this more than 3,300-year-old mystery. A team of researchers now say that King Tut, the boy ruler, died of complications(并发症)from a broken leg.
Tut’s full name was Tutankhamun. He was just 9 years old when he became the ruler of Egypt in 1333 BC. His treasure-filled tomb was discovered almost a century ago. It was filled with royal riches, including a solid-gold coffin, a gold mask, and piles of jewelry.
Unfortunately Tut died at the age of 19. Many experts have thought that Tut was killed by one of his advisers, named Ay, who wanted to be king. But thanks to a major modern science project, it seems Ay is innocent.
Researchers set out to solve the mystery of King Tut’s death by using the tools of science, including DNA tests and electronic scans of his mummy(木乃伊). Scientist Carsten Pusch carried out the tests on Tut for the new study. He thinks a broken leg led to the young king’s death. More than 100 walking sticks were found in King Tut’s tomb. This supports the team’s findings. But how could a person die from a simple broken leg?
Pusch also found DNA evidence in Tut’s body that shows he had malaria, a disease carried by mosquitoes. Malaria seriously weakens the immune system(免疫系统).
Pusch and his fellow researchers believe the malaria and the bone disease together caused the king’s fracture(骨折)to become deadly. Finally, the young king was just too weak to recover. So effects of the disease combined with the bad luck of a broken bone — not a jealous adviser — are likely the real causes of King Tut’s death.
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在现代科学手段的帮助下，解开了古埃及最著名的国王图坦卡蒙国王的死亡之迷，他是死于腿部骨折引起的并发症。
4.It has long been believed by historians and scientists that ______.

5.With the help of modern technology, the new study discovered that the king ______.
A. died directly of a disease called malaria B. died of complications from a broken leg

(2020·湖北高二开学考试)A great woman once said, “Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others. “These are the words of US pilot Amelia Earhart(1897- 1937), a pioneer in aviation(航空领域), who was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean
Her story ended in mystery when she disappeared without a trace(踪迹)during a flight over the Pacific Ocean. Theories about what happened to Earhart were proposed, but nothing was ever confirmed—until now. A study published in March conducted by Richard Jantz from the University of Tennessee, US, determined that bones found in 1940 on a remote Pacific island belonged to Earhart. Following the discovery, the world’s memories of the legendary female pilot were brought back to life.
Earhart was born in 1897. When she was young, she was very interested in stories about women who were successful in male-dominated(男性为主的)professions, such as engineering and law. But in 1920, Earhart’s life changed after her first experience of being a plane passenger. As soon as the plane left the ground, Earhart knew that she loved flying, so she found herself a teacher and started to learn how to fly for herself. To pay for the lessons and buy a plane of her own, she took all sorts of jobs.
Inl932, Earhart flew solo(独自地)across the Atlantic, becoming the first woman ever to do so. She also designed a flying suit for women and went on to design other clothes for women who led active lives. When she was nearly 40, Earhart was ready for a final challenge—to be the first woman to fly around the world. Her first attempt was unsuccessful but she tried again in 1937 with her navigator(领航员)Fred Noonan. But one month later, they disappeared in bad weather in mid-flight.
Even though it’s still not clear how she ended up on the island, we’re one step closer to finding the answer. And no matter what, Earhart will be forever remembered as a brave pioneer, both as a pilot and as a woman.
【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲了一位美国女飞行员艾米莉亚·埃尔哈特的励志事迹，埃尔哈特是航空领域的先驱，是第一位飞越大西洋的女性，她不仅成功的做了一名飞行员，还为女性设计服装，尽管她在太平洋上空飞行时消失了，但是作为飞行员和女性，她的事迹将会被永远铭记。
8.When did Earhart first fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone?
A. In 1920. B. In 1932. C. In 1937. D. In 1940.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。由文中倒数第二段的In l932, Earhart flew solo(独自地)across the Atlantic可知，她在1932年第一次独自的飞过大西洋，故B选项正确。
9.What started Earhart’s interest in flying?
A. Her parent’s influence. B. Her teachers’ encouragement.
C. Her first experience as a passenger. D. Her childhood love for engineering.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。由文中第三段的 Earhart’s life changed after her first experience of being a plane passengerAs soon as the plane left the ground, Earhart knew that she loved flying,.可知，埃尔哈特的第一次乘坐飞机的经历使她爱上了飞行。故C选项正确。
10.Which of the following words best describes Earhart?
A. Open-minded and patient. B. Creative and helpful.
C. Talented and outgoing. D. Pioneering and determined.

【解析】推理判断题。由文中最后一段的Earhart will be forever remembered as a brave pioneer, both as a pilot and as a woman.作为一个勇敢的先驱者，无论是作为一名飞行员还是作为一名女性，埃尔哈特将永远被人们铭记。以及文中第三段To pay for the lessons and buy a plane of her own, she took all sorts of jobs.提到埃尔哈特为了能买一架飞机从事了各种各样的工作。由此判断出埃尔哈开拓进取，意志坚定。D选项正确。
11.What’s the article mainly about?
A. The discovery of Earhart’s bones. B. What made Earhart a great pilot.
C. The inspiring life story of Earhart D. Some possible causes of Earhart’s death.

(2020·北京高三)In 1888 an Egyptian farmer digging in the sand near the village of Istabl Antar uncovered a mass tomb. The bodies weren’t human. They were feline—ancient cats that had been mummified and buried in holes in astonishing numbers. “Not one or two here and there”, reported English Illustrated Magazine, “but dozens, hundreds, hundreds of thousands, a layer of them, a layer thicker than most coal joints, ten to twenty cats deep.” Some of the linen-wrapped cats still looked presentable, and a few even had golden faces. Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for change; the rest were sold as fertilizer(肥料). One ship transported about 180,000, weighing some 38, 000 pounds, to Liverpool to be spread on the fields of England.
Those were the days of generously funded(资助的)explorations—that dragged through acres of desert in their quest for royal tombs, and for splendid gold and painted masks to decorate the museums of Europe and America. The many thousands of mummified animals that turned up at religious sites throughout Egypt were just things to be cleared away to get treasure. Few people studied them, and their importance was generally unrecognized.
In the century since then, archaeology(考古学)has become less of a treasure hunt and more of a science. Archaeologists now realize that much of their sites’ wealth lies in the majority of details about ordinary folks—what they did, what they thought, how they prayed. And animal mummies are a big part of that.
“They’re really displays of daily life,” says Egyptologist Salima Ikram. After looking beneath bandages with x-rays and cataloguing her findings, she created a gallery for the collection—a bridge between people today and those of long ago. “You look at these mummified animals, and suddenly you say, Oh, King So-and-So had a pet. I have a pet. And instead of being at a distance of 5,000-plus years, the ancient Egyptians become clearer and closer to us.”
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。考古学家们认为考古学已不再是一种寻宝活动，而更像是一门科学。通过研究古代人的遗迹，可以了解他们的日常生活。考古是连接现代人和很久以前的人的之间的桥梁。
12.The underlined word “peddled” in Paragraph 1 probably means _ .
A. examined B. displayed C. replaced D. shared
【答案】B
【解析】词义猜测题。根据划线词后的部分“…to tourists for change” 可知，村里的孩子们把最好的猫的木乃伊给游客以换取零钱；因此可以推测，“peddle”意思为“兜售”，即向他人展示从而售出。故选B项。
13.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Treasure hunting explorations. B. Egyptian Royal tombs in desert.
C. Mummified animals in museums. D. Big archaeological discoveries.
【答案】A
【解析】主旨大意题。根据第二段首句“Those were the days of generously funded(资助的)explorations—that dragged through acres of desert in their quest for royal tombs, and for splendid gold and painted masks to decorate the museums of Europe and America.” 那一段时间，人们花大价钱寻宝。人们跨越沙漠探险，为了寻找皇家皇陵，寻找华丽的黄金面具来装饰欧洲和美洲的博物馆。因此可以推断，第二段主要讲述古代人们寻宝探险。故选A项。
14.From the last paragraph, we can learn that Salima Ikram _ .
A. wishes to keep the continuity of pets over history
B. wants to identify the King’s personal belongings and classify them
C. believes that studying the remains can help modern society relate to the past
D. doubts if current society will understand the significance of Egyptian remains
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中she created a gallery for the collection—a bridge between people today and those of long ago. 以及最后一句And instead of being at a distance of 5,000-plus years, the ancient Egyptians become clearer and closer to us.可知埃及古物学家Salima Ikram 把她的收藏品创建了一个画廊，她认为这个画廊是一座连接今天的人和很久以前的人的之间桥梁。这些收藏品让人们感觉古代人的生活离我们很近。因此可以推断，她认为研究这些遗迹有助于把现代社会和过去联系在一起。故选C项。
15.The passage probably encourages the readers to _ .
A. make full use of the remains the ancestors left behind
B. become more sensitive to the ancient lifestyle of the ancestors
C. pay more attention to the historical and cultural value of ancient remains
D. understand there are more the historical remains waiting for explorations
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段中archaeology(考古学)has become less of a treasure hunt and more of a science.”和第四段中They’re really displays of daily life以及下文内容可知，考古学家们认为考古更多的是一门科学；木乃伊是古埃及人日常生活的展示。研究这些遗骸是了解他们的途径，有助于在现代社会与过去之间建立一座桥梁。因此这篇文章可能鼓励读者要重视古代遗迹的历史文化价值。故选C项。
二、七选五
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
(2021·全国高二课时练习)Exploring the North Pole

People have always had the desire to explore new places. Explorers throughout history have been motivated by the prospect of fame and fortune. 1 . The first North Pole explorers were in search of the Northwest Passage, a way through the Arctic that would make trade easier for the country that discovered it. 1 , the world started seeing the Arctic as a frozen treasure chest. In fact, a U.S. Geological Survey guesses that nearly 25 percent of the world’s undiscovered oil and gas are buried in the Arctic, which is a big reason for the disagreements among the countries that are claiming the region for themselves.  
There were occasional North Pole expeditions in the 18th century. In 1755, the British Parliament offered a reward to the first ship to go to the Pole. 3 . In 1908, American Frederick Albert Cook became the first person to claim to have reached the North Pole. But his countryman Robert Edwin Peary disputed the claim. Peary claimed that with a team of 24 men, 19 sleds and 133 sled dogs he made the first visit to the North Pole, on April 6, 1909. 4 . The doubt rests mostly on the length of Peary’s trip: 37 days. 5 . However, in April, 2005, explorer Tom Avery recreated Peary’s sled expedition with the same materials and supplies, and beat Peary’s time by five hours. Some still doubt whether Peary actually made it to the North Pole, but he’s now generally referred to be the first.
A. The North Pole isn’t the coldest place on Earth
B. Most expeditions of the era took months—at least
C. But there’s still some argument attached to the claim
D. However, it was until the early 1900s that things really got going
E. When these explorers came back with tales of diamonds and coal near the Pole
F. North Pole exploration is no exception

【解析】根据下文“In 1908, American Frederick Albert Cook became the first person to claim to have reached the North Pole. ”在1908年，美国弗雷德里克·阿尔伯特·库克成为第一个声称到达北极的人。根据本段叙述的顺序可知，此处是按照时间的顺序叙述的。由此可知，D. However, it was until the early 1900s that things really got going(然而，直到20世纪初，事情才真正开始发展)符合语境。the early 1900s呼应In 1908。故选D。
4.【答案】C
【解析】根据上“In 1908, American Frederick Albert Cook became the first person to claim to have reached the North Pole.(在1908年，美国人弗雷德里克·艾伯特·库克成为第一个声称到达北极的人)”中的关键词“claim”,利用关键词复现法可知，C. But there’s still some argument attached to the claim(但是这个声称还存在一些争议)符合语境。故选C。
5.【答案】B
【解析】根据上文“The doubt rests mostly on the length of Peary’s trip: 37 days.(人们的疑问主要在于皮尔里的旅程有多长：37天)”可知，此处讲述人们质疑的原因。由此可知，B. Most expeditions of the era took months — at least(那个时代的大多数探险至少需要几个月的时间)正是人们质疑的一个原因，符合语境。故选B项。

It is also important to note that the greatest 5 (amaze)of the journey is Chang’e 5’s lunar landing site-referred to 6 the Ocean of Storms-on the near side of the moon, where no probes(探测器)have paid
7 visit before. It’s geologically younger than the sampling 8 (area)of the US and the former Soviet missions, so the new sample will help fill in an important piece of the puzzle of the Moon’s history.
The delivery marked the start of research into the sample, the administration said in a statement, 9 (add)that it will not merely publish guidelines on the sample’s distribution and use, 10 will also encourage scientists from around the world to participate.
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了嫦娥5号带着月球样本返回，成为了自1976年以来第一个带回月球样本的航天器。新的月球采样有助于我们人类月球的进一步的研究。
1.【答案】brought
【解析】考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，bring back by做主语the sample的后置定语，且和主语形成动宾关系，即被带回。故填brought。句意：上周六早上在北京举行的交付仪式上，中国嫦娥五号带回的样品被移交给了中国科学院院长。
2.【答案】has become
【解析】考查动词的时态。根据时间状语since 1976可知，应该用现在完成时，故填has become。句意：成功返回后，嫦娥五号成为自1976年以来的首个登月带样品返回的航天器。
3.【答案】which
【解析】考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，该处是非限制性定语，指代主语the sample，所以是which在从句中作主语。故填which。句意：该样本包含1,700克月球岩石和土壤，比以前的样本大。
4.【答案】automatically
【解析】考查词性转换(副词)。分析句子可知automatic位于谓语动词combine之前，修饰动词，所以是副词形式。故填automatically。句意：嫦娥5号的月球轨道无人对接程序可以使它的重量大大增加，其中嫦娥5号的两个部分可以自动组合成一个完整的轨道。
5.【答案】amazement
【解析】考查词性转换(名词)。分析句子可知，空处前为the greatest形容词最高级，根据括号内提示词amaze，所以是名词形式，形容词修饰名词，故填amazement。句意：还需要注意的是，旅程的最大惊奇之处在于嫦娥五号的登月地点-被称为月球附近的风暴海洋-在月球附近，这里没有探测器进行探访过。
6.【答案】as
【解析】考查动词短语。根据分子中referred to可知，be referred to as“被称作”。故填as。
7.【答案】a
【解析】考查动词短语中的冠词。根据句子中，pay a visit固定搭配“参观，拜访”。故填a。句意：还需要注意的是，旅程的最大惊奇之处在于嫦娥五号的登月地点-被称为月球附近的风暴海洋——在月球附近，这里没有探测器进行探访过。
8.【答案】areas
【解析】考查词形转换(名词复数)。根据句子中空处前the sampling，提示词是area，采样区域，所以是复数。故填areas。句意：它在地质上比美国和前苏联飞行任务的采样区域年轻，因此新的采样将有助于填补月球历史难题中的一个重要部分。
9.【答案】adding
【解析】考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，主谓宾结构完整，add所以是非谓语动词，且主语和add之间是主动关系，故填adding。
10.【答案】but
【解析】考查连词。根据句子中it will not merely以及空处________ will also，结合句意可知是 not only/merly…but also“不仅……而且”。故填but。句意：美国政府在一份声明中说，交付标志着对样品研究的开始，并补充说，这不仅将发布有关样品分布和使用的指南，还将鼓励世界各地的科学家参加。

【答案】
Dear Jeff,
Thank you for your attention to the activity themed “The Chinese Scientist I Admire Most”, which was organized by the Students’ Union of our school. I am more than willing to tell you about the event.
I shared the story of Mr. Yuan Longping, an agricultural scientist known as “Father of Hybrid Rice”. He developed the world’s first successful hybrid rice varieties, which dramatically increased rice production in China. His approach to rice breeding also serves as a solution to food problems around the globe.
The scientists’ stories shared by other participants truly inspired me, motivating me to truly love science by making great contributions to it. Could you please tell me about your favorite scientist?
Yours,
Li Hua

(2021·江苏高三期末)I used to feel sorry for that ugly black piece of stone lying like a cow in front of our door; none knew when it was left there and none paid any attention to it, except at the time when wheat was harvested and my grandma, seeing the grains of wheat spread all over the ground in the front yard of the house, would complain, “This ugly stone takes so much space. Move it away someday.”
My uncle had wanted to use it for the gable when he was building a house, but he was troubled to find it of very irregular shape, with no edges nor corner. He didn’t take a fancy to the ugly stone.
One year when a mason(石工)came by, we asked him to make us a stone mill with it But the mason took a look and shook his head. It was not like a fine piece of white marble on which words or flowers could be carved, nor like a smooth big stone people used to wash their clothes on.
The stone just lay there in silence, enjoying no shading from the trees by the yard, nor flowers growing around it. We children began to dislike the stone too, and would have taken it away if we had been strong enough；all we could do for the present was to leave it alone, despite our disgust or even curses.
The only thing that had interested us in the ugly stone was a little pit on top of it, which was filled with water on rainy days. Three days after a rainfall, usually, when the ground had become dry, there was still water in the pit. And when it came to the evening, we would climb onto the stone, looking up at the sky, hoping to see the moon come out from far away. And Granny would give us a scolding, afraid lest we should fall down-and sure enough, I fell down once to have my knees broken. So everybody condemned the stone: an ugly stone, as ugly as it could be.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
Then one day an astronomer came to the village. He looked the stone square in the eye the moment he came across it. He didn’t take his leave but decided to stay in our village. Quite a number of people came afterwards, saying the stone was a piece of aerolite which had fallen down from the sky two or three hundred years ago. What a wonder indeed! Pretty soon a truck came and carried it away carefully.
Paragraph 2:
We never expected it should be so great. But why can’t people build a wall or pave steps with it? “It’s too ugly,” the astronomer said. “But that’s just where its beauty lies!” the astronomer said, “When something becomes the ugliest, it turns out the most beautiful indeed. The stone is not an ordinary piece of insensate stone, it shouldn’t be used to build wall or pave the steps, to carve words or flowers or to wash clothes on. It’s not the material for those petty common things, and no wonder it’s ridiculed often by people with petty common views.” I feel shame and am struck by the greatness that lies in its lonely unyielding existence of being misunderstood by people.
