(2021年高考英语押题新课标Ⅰ卷预测卷)Unsolved Mysteries about the Planet Earth
Mystery 1: Where did water come from?
Water covers more than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface and that makes the Earth earn the nickname " the blue planet " . Then where di water come from? The most popular scientific theory states that the H2came from several violent asteroids(小行星)covered with ice. Another suggests that the water actually has been around since the Earth’s formation However it happened, though, it’s certainly worked out well for the Earth life forms.
Mystery 2: What about all the oxygen?
Another thing is the planet’s oxygen. Tiny creatures released oxygen as a waste product, filling the atmosphere with it. After that, the level of oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere went wildly up and down until it finally calmed down around 540 million years ago. Since then, it’s remained at about the breathable level we know today. But what caused it to be suddenly steady?
Mystery 3:What caused the Cambrian(寒武纪)Explosion?
The Cambrian Explosion refers to the explosion of complex life forms that occurred on Earth about 540 million years ago. Before then, life had consisted mostly of microbes. But at the beginning of the Cambrian period complex creatures began developing at a rate never seen before. Suddenly,life forms had brains, eyes, and bones. Most living creatures today can trace their blood back to the Cambrian period.
Mystery 4: Will we be able to predict earthquakes?
We still haven’t been able to come up with a way to accurately predict earthquakes. We can certainly try, but our current technology cannot predict them exactly. We know that earthquakes start when the rock cracks underground and the enormous energy released in the process causes vibration, which generates earthquake waves, but we haven’t figured out why that happens, or how to predict it.

(2021·江苏盐城中学高三月考)Is there a strange something high up in the world’s tallest mountains? If so, is it a big bear? Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man? No one knows. This mystery has puzzled the world for years.
In 1887, a mountain climber found large footsteps in the snow. They looked like the footsteps of a very large man. But men don’t walk without shoes in the snow!
In 1906, another climber saw more footsteps. He saw a very large animal standing on two legs. As he watched, it ran away very quickly. Fifteen years later, a newspaper had new stories about the “something”. A mountain climber said he had seen the “snowman” walk slowly in the snow. He said it looked like a very large man.
From then on, more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back the pictures of large footsteps. The pictures showed clearly that the snowman walked on two legs. So it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be an apeman (猿人)? And the mystery keeps growing. Some day, we may find out just what it is that makes the largest footsteps.
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了人们在世界上最高的山上发现的巨大脚印来自于什么动物，直到今天依然是未解之谜。

5.Why were people interested in footsteps?
A. Because they were the footsteps of a large bear.
B. Because they looked like the footsteps of a large man.
C. Because they were found in the snow.
D. Because they were found in the mountains.
【答案】B

And the mystery keeps growing.”(但直到1951年，一位登山者才带回了大脚印的照片。 图片清楚地显示了雪人用两条腿走路。 所以不是熊或猴子。 会是猿人吗? 谜团还在继续)可推知当一名登山者带回巨大脚印的照片时，这个谜团变得更加神秘是因为人们仍然不知道是谁留下了这些脚印。故选D。

(2020·安徽六安一中高三月考)One day John was looking out of the window when he saw a huge blast of light, followed by an extremely loud explosion. He looked up and saw a huge cloud of dust surrounding the moon. When the dust settled, John saw the strangest thing—the moon was almost split in half.
John’s mom ran over to see what had happened. Then John and his mom heard a couple of men speaking out loud through the open window. “I told you there were aliens(外星人)out there!” one man exclaimed loudly.
“You have to be out of your mind! Our astronauts would have found that out, if that was true,” the other man replied.
“Wow, an alien invasion!” John cried excitedly.
“Calm down, John. There has to be a more believable story than the alien nonsense,” his mom said.
John and his mom moved away from the window to watch the news, hoping that someone would say something more realistic than the alien story. On the news, some scientists agreed that the split of the moon, was a result of a major moon-quake. On the other hand, the religious people all agreed the moon split was a sign from God that the end of world was near.
Time passed by, and there was no definite answer as to what exactly had happened to the moon. So, the mystery continued while the moon appeared to be shining brighter than ever.
“How do you like my mystery story, Dad?” Adam asked his father.
“Great! But I have one question. Don’t you think that your ending leaves the readers hanging?” his father asked.

(2020·南昌县莲塘第二中学高二期末)Early in the morning of June 29, 1991, Carrie and Morgenstern were watching the field. Although they could see nothing through the thick fog, they kept their camera running.
By 6 a.m. the fog began to lift. A pair of circles had been flattened. The wheat were bent but not broken. Outside the circles the wheat was untouched, and there were no footprints or other marks. The circles seemed to have come from nowhere. “ I can’t explain it at all ,” Mike Carrier said to himself with his eyes wide open.
Carrier is not alone since the early 1980s, more than 2000 circles have appeared in farmer’s fields. Most circles form at night between May and August.
Some believe the circles are caused by deer or some other animals. Others think of UFOs. “The circles are messages given by those who come from outer space,” says Michael Green. “Perhaps they are trying to get in touch with us.”
Pat Delgado has done research on crop circles since 1981. He believes that they are caused by “ some form of earth energy.”
Most scientists think that there’s no scientific basis to back up Green’s or Delgado’s theories. In September 1991, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley told newsmen that since 1979 they had made circles throughout southern England to fool people who believed in UFOs. Since the early 1980s, Dr. Terence Meaden has visited more than1000 circles. Now he thinks he may have the answer. He believes true crop circles are made by vortex(旋风) which can flatten the crop.
Now crop circles are still found in southern England each summer. Are they really the traces of UFOs?
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。介绍一对夫妇发现麦田里面不知道哪里冒出来的怪圈，自那时起，很多人开始研究和记录怪圈，对此他们有很多不同的解释。
12.On the morning of June 29, 1991, Carrier and Morgenstern hoped to ________.
A. record the important thing B. draw a conclusion
C. find some footprints D. see something funny
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“Early in the morning of June 29, 1991, Carrie and Morgenstern were watching the field. Although they could see nothing through the thick fog, they kept their camera running.”可知，1991年6月29日清晨，Carrie和Morgenstern正在观察田野。虽然在浓雾中他们什么也看不见，但他们仍继续用摄影机进行拍摄。由此可知，1991年6月29日清晨，Carrie和Morgenstern试图记录下这一重要事件，故选A。
13.When he saw the crop circle, Mike Carrie was ________.
A. satisfied B. frightened C. surprised D. interested
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中“‘I can’t explain it at all,’ Mike Carrier said to himself with his eyes wide open.”可知，“我完全无法解释，” Mike Carrier睁大了眼睛自言自语道。由此可推知，当Mike Carrier看到麦田怪圈时，他很惊讶。故选C。
14.Most scientists consider that theories of Green and Delgado are ________.
A. meaningful B. undoubted C. instructive D. unreasonable
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Most scientists think that there’s no scientific basis to back up Green’s or Delgado’s theories.”可知大多数科学家认为没有科学依据支持Green和Delgado的理论。由此可知，科学家认为他们的观点没有科学根据，并不合理。故选D。
15.According to the article we may know that all the crop circles ________.
A. are caused by some animals B. are formed by earth energy
C. are not tricks made by someone D. are made by UFOs from outer space
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In September 1991, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley told newsmen that since 1979 they had made circles throughout southern England to fool people who believed in UFOs. Since the early 1980s, Dr. Terence Meaden has visited more than1000 circles. Now he thinks he may have the answer. He believes true crop circles are made by vortex(旋风) which can flatten the crop.”可知，1991年9月，道格·鲍尔和戴夫·乔利告诉新闻记者，自1979年以来，他们在英格兰南部绕圈子，愚弄相信不明飞行物的人。自20世纪80年代初以来，特伦斯·米登博士查看了1000多个怪圈。现在他认为他可能有答案了。他相信真正的麦田怪圈是由旋风形成的，它可以使作物变平；再结合最后一段“Now crop circles are still found in southern England each summer. Are they really the traces of UFOs?”可知现在每年夏天在英格兰南部仍能发现麦田怪圈。它们真的是不明飞行物的痕迹吗？由此可推知，在有人承认是恶作剧之后，现在依然有麦田怪圈，因而麦田怪圈并不是恶作剧，故选C。
二、七选五

(2021·河北石家庄二中高三)That mysterious ball of rock 384, 633 kilometers from Earth has inspired myths for thousands of years. 1 The following are some strange facts about the moon.
The moon is disappearing.
2 It means in 500 million years, the moon will be 23, 496 kilometers farther away than it is now. And one day we may completely lose it.
There are fresh footprints on the moon’s surface.
Man hasn’t set foot on the moon for decades, but fresh prints remain. Is this evidence of an alien life form? Is Bigfoot (大脚兽)taking up extra-planetary(行星外)residence? No, they’re just leftover astronaut footprints.
3 Shadows are darker on the moon than on the Earth.
Astronauts on the moon immediately noticed that their shadows were much darker there than on the Earth.
4 The sun and the Earth itself provide a little bit of light, enough for shadows to still appear, but the shadows are much harder to see.
5
Just like the Earth, the moon has a crust (地壳) that shifts and changes. Moonquakes can occur when the lunar crust warms and expands. While moonquakes don’t reach the same level of intensity (烈度) as earthquakes, they can last much longer.
A. A full moon might keep you awake.
B. But sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
C. Time is quite different on the moon than on the Earth.
D. The moon experiences earthquakes (or moonquakes).
E. Each year, the moon moves about four centimeters away from the Earth.

G. The atmosphere that makes light to create shadows on Earth is absent on the moon.
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍几个有关月球的奇怪的事实。
1.【答案】B
【解析】上文“That mysterious ball of rock 384, 633 kilometers from Earth has inspired myths for thousands of years.(这个神秘的岩石球距地球384633公里，几千年来一直是神话的灵感来源)”表明月球和很多神话这样虚构的事有关。下文“The following are some strange facts about the moon. (下面是关于月球的一些离奇的事实)”是要告诉我们关于月球的事实。选项B“但有时事实比虚构的事更离奇”符合上下文之间的逻辑和句意衔接，故选B。
2.【答案】E
【解析】下文“It means in 500 million years, the moon will be 23, 496 kilometers farther away than it is now. (也就是说，5亿年后，地月距离会比现在远23496千米)”，选项E“每年，月球轨道都会向外移动大约四厘米”，符合与下文的逻辑和句意衔接，就是因为每年都远离地球一点点，5亿年后，月球就会比现在离地球更远23496公里，故选E。
3.【答案】F
【解析】上文“Man hasn’t set foot on the moon for decades, but fresh prints remain. Is this evidence of an alien life form? Is Bigfoot (大脚兽) taking up extra-planetary (行星外) residence? No, they’re just leftover astronaut footprints. (人类已经几十年没有踏上月球了，但仍然有新的痕迹。这是外星生命形式的证据吗？大脚怪在外行星居住吗？不，只是宇航员留下的脚印)”说明了尽管人类已经几十年没有踏上月球了，但仍然有新的痕迹。而且这些痕迹还是之前的宇航员留下的。选项F“因为月球上没有风和水，足迹可以存在数百万年”解释了上文的现象，故选F。
4.【答案】G
【解析】上文“Astronauts on the moon immediately noticed that their shadows were much darker there than on the Earth. (在月球上的宇航员立刻注意到他们的影子比地球上的要暗得多)”，说明了月球的影子比地球上的更暗这种现象，下文应该是要解释原因的。空后“The sun and the Earth itself provide a little bit of light, enough for shadows to still appear, but the shadows are much harder to see. (太阳和地球本身会提供一点光亮，足以使影子在月球上出现，但由于颜色更暗，不会轻易让人看见)”和选项G“地球的大气层可以散射光线，使物体产生影子，而月球并没有这样的大气层 ”一起解释了上文的现象，故选G。
5.【答案】D
【解析】此空是下文的概括。下文“Just like the Earth, the moon has a crust (地壳) that shifts and changes. Moonquakes can occur when the lunar crust warms and expands. While moonquakes don’t reach the same level of intensity (烈度) as earthquakes, they can last much longer. (就像地球一样，月球的地壳也会移动和变化。当月球地壳变暖和膨胀时，就会发生月震。虽然月球地震的强度没有达到地震的强度水平，但它们可以持续更长的时间)”主要讲述了月球也会像地球发生地震一样，会发生“月震”，选项D“月球经历地震(月震)”符合对此段的概括，故选D。

【解析】考查介词。此处是指三星堆遗址有或包含一个占地3.6平方公里的古城，可用介词with表示“有”，或用介词including表示“包括”。故填with/including。句意：三星堆遗址被认为是长江上游最重要的考古遗址之一，占地面积12平方公里，其核心区是一个占地3.6平方公里的古城。
5.【答案】were discovered
【解析】考查动词的时态和语态。根据“large- scale excavation(挖掘)on the site only began in 1986”可知，此处应用一般过去时。动词discover意为“发现”，和主语two pits构成被动关系，主语two pits为复数。故填were discovered。句意：然而，对该遗址的大规模挖掘直到1986年才开始，当时偶然发现了两个被广泛认为是祭祀仪式的坑。
6.【答案】unexplained
【解析】考查词性转换(过去分词转化而来的形容词)。后面是名词findings，应用形容词，结合语境，应填unexplained(无法解释的)。
6.【答案】and
【解析】考查连词。前文“The new discoveries will help to better understand many unexplained findings in 1986”和后文“the similar shapes and findings in the eight pits...make sure their function should be sacrificial pits”构成并列关系，所以应用连词and。故填and。句意：这些新发现将有助于更好地理解1986年许多无法解释的发现，8个坑的相似形状和发现基本上确定了它们的功能应该是祭祀坑。
7.【答案】basically
【解析】考查词性转换(副词)。修饰动词make应用副词，故填basically。句意：这些新发现将有助于更好地理解1986年许多无法解释的发现，8个坑的相似形状和发现基本上确定了它们的功能应该是祭祀坑。
8.【答案】important
【解析】考查词性转换(形容词)。修饰名词project应用形容词，故填important。句意：据国家文物局表示，对三星堆遗址的研究将成为中国考古项目的一个重要项目，该项目将试图解释中国文明的起源以及多种文化是如何交流和融合的。
9.【答案】which
【解析】考查定语从句。在非限制性定语从句中缺少主语，且先行词为project，所以应用关系代词which，故填which。句意：据国家文物局表示，对三星堆遗址的研究将成为中国考古项目的一个重要项目，该项目将试图解释中国文明的起源以及多种文化是如何交流和融合的。

【答案】
Dear Susan,
Thanks for your attention! From your letter, I know that you are eager to get some details about my assistance. Here comes the story.
Last week, I met a little boy on the street, who seemed helpless in the crowd. Then, I got closed to him, asking what had happened to him. He told me that he had got lost and couldn’t find his parents. Immediately, I took the poor boy to the police station and sought help from the policeman. There, I sat to accompany him, waiting for the police to bring some good news. Half an hour later, an anxious woman came in with a bag in her hand. While seeing the boy, the woman burst into tears, saying: “Thank Goodness! I finally find you and you are safe. ” The boy told her mother it was I who helped him. And then she expressed sincere gratitude to me. “You are welcome”, I answered. Waving my hands to say goodbye, I left with relief.
In this experience, I realize that helping others is really a kind of pleasure, which not only helps the one in need, but also enriches my own mind.
Yours,
LiHua
写作(二)
(2021·山东高三)阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was born and grew up in the north of Scotland, which was not far from the sea. When I was little, I enjoyed the seaside scenery very much. I often sat on the rock by the sea and watched the view of the sea. I was fond of playing with the sand on the beach and chased the waves with my old sister, Alastair.
Across the beach there was a tidal(潮汐)island, which means that when the tide goes out, you can walk to it, but when the tide comes in again, you can’t get to it. Mum and Dad never let us go there. They told us that it was dangerous. However, the tidal island was full of mystery to me. I said to myself, “There must be some fascinating scenery worth exploring. How I wish I had a chance to land on it!”
On a little cold day in October, while my parents were away for a friend’s wedding, my sister was determined to take me to the beach near our house, where we would have a good time. I wanted to build sand castles.
When we arrived at the beach, the tide was out. We ran on the beach back and forth and enjoyed ourselves very much. With the help of my sister, I made several sand castles of different shapes. Feeling a little tired, I sat on the beach for a break. I saw the tidal island opposite, which looked very nice in the autumn sunshine.
“Let’s go to explore the tidal island, Alastair,” I said to my sister.
“That’s a good idea. But Mum and Dad said we couldn’t. Maybe we won’t return safely!” Alastair said.
“Don’t worry! We’ll try to return before the tide comes in again.” I begged Alastair.
Finally she agreed. We returned home and brought some peanut butter sandwiches and a bottle of milk with us.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then we set off for the tidal island.

【答案】
Paragraph 1:
Then we set off for the tidal island. We walked over the sand to the island and started to explore. There was an old ruined church and a few abandoned buildings full of mysteries. Seagulls were flying in the sky, wild flowers blooming by the roadside. On the other side of the island we enjoyed milk and sandwiches, throwing stones into the sea. After a bit, dark clouds covered the sun and it got windy. I said, “I’m cold and I want to go home.” We walked back over the island to the beach. But we couldn’t find it! It wasn’t there any more!
Paragraph 2:
The tide came in and covered the beach and the water was too deep and cold for me. We were in a dangerous situation. Frightened, I couldn’t help crying. “Calm down,” shouted Alastair. “Quick! We have to return before it’s too late! Climb on my back quickly.” The water was up to her lap, but Alastair was very strong and struggled through the waves with me on her back. We managed to return to the land safely. Later, our parents learned what had happened to us. They were scared and criticized us. We promised not to risk ourselves again.
