热点08 以美育人之七选五押题-2024年高考英语【热点·重点·难点】专练(新高考专用)
展开纵览2023年新高考II卷英语七选五介绍了艺术家传授艺术之旅的技巧和建议,以便更好地体验艺术旨在引导学生加深对美育的认识,培养健康向上的审美情趣,以美育人;引导学生形成热爱劳动的观念,在实践中养成劳动意识和劳动习惯。
做英语七选五的方法
1.关键词法(空格处前后一般都有相关词汇重复出现,那他就是关键词)
2. 同义反义比较法(空格前后有时候会有一些像 that is--,,which的非限制性定语从句用来解释说明前句的,可以参考一下与选项近义或同义的选项)
3. 代词一致法(有时候某一空格处喝下一句话都会使用指代同一个的代词出现,这样从选项中可以确定是一个人还是一些人,是男还是女,缩小的选择范围)
4.语言气势一致法(比如说,空格设置在第一段的段首,第二,第三段的段首均为简短的祈使句,那么第一段的空格处也必然不会有比较长的句子出现;有时候句子还有可能先后出现排比,也可以参考)
5.排除法(以上方法用过之后,范围基本可以缩小,剩下的要自己研究捉摸了)

1.(2023·辽宁·统考三模)With an abundance f sun and wind, Spain is psitining itself as Eurpe’s future leader in green hydrgen prductin t clean up heavy industries. But sme energy experts express cautin because this prcess relies n massive availability f zer-carbn electricity.
Green hydrgen is created when renewable energy surces pwer an electrical current that runs thrugh water, separating its hydrgen and xygen mlecules (分子). The prcess desn’t prduce planet-warming carbn dixide, but less than 0.1% f glbal hydrgen prductin is currently created in this way.
The separated hydrgen can be used in the prductin f steel, ammnia (氨) and chemical prducts, all f which require industrial prcesses that are harder t stp fssil fuels. Hydrgen als can be used as a transprtatin fuel, which culd ne day transfrm the highly plluting shipping and aviatin sectrs.
Spain’s large, windswept and thinly ppulated territry receives mre than 2,500 hurs f sunshine n average per year, prviding ideal cnditins fr wind and slar energy, and therefre green hydrgen prductin.
“If yu lk at where hydrgen is ging t be prduced in Eurpe in the next millin years, it’s in tw cuntries, Spain and Prtugal,” said Thierry Lepercq, the funder and president f HyDeal Ambitin, an industry platfrm bringing tgether 30 cmpanies. “Hydrgen is the new il.”
Lepercq is wrking with cmpanies like Spanish gas pipeline crpratin Enagas and glbal steel giant ArcelrMittal t design an end-t-end mdel fr hydrgen prductin, distributin and supply at a cmpetitive price. Criticism has centered n green hydrgen’s higher cst cmpared with highly-plluting “gray hydrgen” drawn frm natural gas. Lepercq argues that slar energy prduced in Spain is priced lw enugh t cmpete.
Glbally, Lepercq said, “Electricity is 20% f energy cnsumptin. What abut the 80% that is nt electrified? ... Yu need t replace thse fssil fuels. Nt in 50 years’ time. Yu need t replace them nw.”
1.Why are sme experts cautius abut green hydrgen prductin in Spain?
A.It needs large amunts f sun and wind.B.It has an effect n heavy industries.
C.It causes cnflicts amng cuntries.D.It uses lts f zer-carbn electricity.
2.What is the advantage f green hydrgen prductin in Spain?
A.Ideal gegraphical cnditins.B.The supprt frm gvernment.
C.Hydrgen prductin technlgy.D.Well-develped public transprts.
3.What can be inferred abut green hydrgen in Spain accrding t Lepercq?
A.It is highly priced.B.It is easy t stre.
C.It is cmpetitive.D.It is highly-plluting.
4.What is the passage mainly abut?
A.Spain manages t use zer-carbn electricity.B.Spain struggles t lead EU in heavy industry.

8.推理判断题。根据最后一段的““The satisfactin after the visitrs enjy ur meal is the real currency. We had guests frm Lndn wh were s happy with ur fd that they tk dwn the recipe. Such peple help ur business grw. What mre can we want?” says Hule.(Hule说:“游客们享用我们的饭菜后的满足感才是真正的货币。我们有来自伦敦的客人,他们对我们的食物非常满意,所以他们把食谱记了下来。这些人帮助我们的业务发展。我们还想要什么?”)”推知,Hule对游客想得到他们的食谱感到非常自豪。故选B。
3.(2023·广东梅州·统考三模)Farming is destrying the planet. But there culd be a much mre envirnmentally friendly way t feed urselves: using renewable energy t turn carbn dixide (CO2) int fd.
“This is becming a reality,” says Pasi Vainikka at Slar Fds. The cmpany is building the first cmmercial-scale factry, near Helsinki in Finland, which will be able t make fd directly frm CO2.
At the factry, renewable electricity will be used t break dwn water t prduce hydrgen and xygen. The hydrgen will be added t large cntainers, where the bacteria grw, alng with CO2 and ammnia(NH3) t prvide carbn and nitrgen separately. Sme f the CO2 will be taken directly frm the air at a visitrs’ centre at the factry, Vainikka says, and the rest will cme frm industrial surces. The end result will be a yellw pwder called Slein that is made f bacterial cells and is up t 70 per cent prtein. It can be used as an ingredient in all kinds f fds, frm meat alternatives t grains and snacks. “We are aiming at replacing animal-surced prteins, which we think have the highest envirnmental impact,” says Vainikka.
Slein was apprved as a fd ingredient in Singapre in Octber 2022, and Slar Fds is awaiting apprval in the UK, the Eurpean Unin and the US.
Cmpared with plant crps, Slein will use 100 times less water per kilgram f prtein prduced, 20 times less land—including the land used fr energy prductin—and prduce a fifth as much CO2, accrding t Slar Fds. Cmpared with beef, a kilgram f prtein can be prduced using 600 times less water and 200 times less land, again cunting the land used fr energy prductin, while prducing 200 times less CO2, says the cmpany.
There are ther benefits, t: factries culd be situated anywhere in the wrld and prductin wn’t be affected by weather extremes. “With Slar Fds and ther cmpanies scaling up(扩大) their systems, this is truly stepping in a new age f agriculture,” says Drian Leger at Cnnectmix Bi in Germany.
9.What can we learn abut Slein frm paragraph 3?
A.It was used as feed fr animals at first.B.Up t 70 per cent f it can be recycled.
C.It is made frm hydrgen and xygen.D.It can be applied t fd prductin.
10.What advantage des Slein have in prducing a kil f prtein?
A.It uses 600 times less land than beef.B.It prduces 200 times less CO2 than beef.
C.It uses 200 times less water than plant crps.D.It prduces 100 times less CO2 than plant crps.
11.What is Drian Leger’s attitude twards the future f Slein?
A.Psitive.B.Dubtful.C.Ambiguus.D.Tlerant.
12.Which can be the best title fr the text?
A.CO2 can be recycled t stimulate lcal ecnmy
B.New fd strategy reduces big questins n health
C.A factry will start making green fd frm air and electricity
D.Campaigners recmmend ways t reduce climate impact f farming
【答案】9.D 10.B 11.A 12.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了芬兰食品科技公司Slar Fds制造新型蛋白质,以缓解农业给环境带来的压力。
9.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It can be used as an ingredient in all kinds f fds, frm meat alternatives t grains and snacks. “We are aiming at replacing animal-surced prteins, which we think have the highest envirnmental impact,” says Vainikka.(它可以作为各种食物的原料,从肉类替代品到谷物和零食。“我们的目标是取代动物性蛋白质,我们认为动物性蛋白质对环境的影响最大,”Vainikka说。)”可知,Slein可以用作各种食物的原料,以此来取代动物性蛋白质,由此可知,Slein可以用于食物生产。故选D项。
10.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Cmpared with beef, a kilgram f prtein can be prduced using 600 times less water and 200 times less land, again cunting the land used fr energy prductin, while prducing 200 times less CO2, says the cmpany.(该公司表示,与牛肉相比,生产一公斤蛋白质所需的水减少了600倍,土地减少了200倍(再算上用于能源生产的土地),同时产生的二氧化碳减少了200倍。)”可知,每生产一公斤蛋白质,Slein制造的二氧化碳是使用牛肉制造的减少了200倍。故选B项。
11.推理判断题。根据“There are ther benefits, t: factries culd be situated anywhere in the wrld and prductin wn’t be affected by weather extremes. “With Slar Fds and ther cmpanies scaling up(扩大) their systems, this is truly stepping in a new age f agriculture,” says Drian Leger at Cnnectmix Bi in Germany.(德国Cnnectmix Bi的Drian Leger说:“随着太阳能食品公司和其他公司扩大他们的系统,这真的进入了一个新的农业时代。”。)”可知,Drian Leger认为随着Slein等公司不断扩大他们的系统,这真的进入一个新的农业时代,由此可知,Drian Leger对Slein的未来持肯定态度。故选A项。
12.主旨大意题。根据首段中的“But there culd be a much mre envirnmentally friendly way t feed urselves: using renewable energy t turn carbn dixide (CO2) int fd.(但是,有一种更环保的方式可以养活我们自己:利用可再生能源将二氧化碳转化为食物。)”可知,本文首段引出本文的话题为我们可以利用可再生能源把二氧化碳转化为食物,以及第二段中的““This is becming a reality,” says Pasi Vainikka at Slar Fds. The cmpany is building the first cmmercial-scale factry, near Helsinki in Finland, which will be able t make fd directly frm CO2.(“这正在成为现实,”太阳能食品公司的Pasi Vainikka说。该公司正在芬兰赫尔辛基附近建造第一个商业规模的工厂,该工厂将能够直接利用二氧化碳生产食品。)”以及下文中对该公司的介绍可知,一家公司正在建造一家商业规模的工厂,将用电分离出氢气,使其和二氧化碳等发生反应,产生“绿色”蛋白质,从而减少农业对环境的损害,所以本文的标题为“工厂将开始用空气和电力生产绿色食品”符合文章内容,且概括了本段的主题。故选C项。
4.(2023·河北·统考二模)One aspect f the clean-energy change will happen inside buildings. Many hmes and businesses burn natural gas fr heating and cking. Natural gas gives ut greenhuse gases as well as ther pllutants that can harm health. Gas appliances (家用电器) can be replaced by electric versins and tap int clean electricity.
Panama Barthlmy is the directr f the Building Decarbnizatin Calitin. His grup, based in Petaluma, Calif., fcuses n limiting gas emissins indrs. “We assume the electric grid (输电网) is getting cleaner ver time, which it is. S, we want mre and mre f ur heating t cme frm electricity.”
It’s much easier t make these types f transitins when gvernments recmmend them, says Beth Miller. She is an eclgist and cnsultant with Gd Cmpany. Based in Eugene, Ore., it helps cmpanies and cmmunities reduce their carbn ftprint. Sme states are already taking steps t make these changes. On September 22, fr instance, Califrnia decided it wuld ban the sale f gas-fired space heaters and water heaters by 2030.
After hmes and businesses make the switch t electric alternatives, they will be mre cmfrtable, says Barthlmy. They will be safer and cleaner, t, he adds. Instead f a gas furnace(燃气炉), an electric heat pump culd bth heat and cl a hme. Gas heaters and stves wn’t be pumping pllutin int a hme’s air. And cks will have even mre cntrl n a mdern electric cker than n a gas stve says Barthlmy.
Getting natural gas ut f yur hme is prbably the largest psitive impact yu can have fr the planet, Barthlmy says. “We all need t fight fr a livable climate. There is n way t meet ur climate gals while still burning gas in buildings. Fr a livable future, we must take measures t stp burning natural gas, thugh we knw we have a lng way t g.” And the bnus: It nw lks like ding that shuld als save peple a lt f mney.
13.What is the clean energy change?

10.(2023·湖南永州·统考三模)Regenerative turism is cncept that is gaining attractin in the travel industry. It is different frm sustainable turism in that it ges beynd just minimizing the negative impact f turism. It is a philsphy that aims t nt nly minimize the negative impact f turism but als t actively cntribute t the regeneratin f lcal ecsystems, ecnmies, and cultures.
The cncept f regenerative turism is nt new. Native cmmunities arund the wrld have been practicing regenerative turism fr centuries. Hwever, it has gained renewed interest in recent years due t the grwing awareness f the impact f turism n the envirnment and the need fr sustainable travel practices, particularly pst-pandemic-indeed it culd even be argued that, as the glbal turism industry and thse wh depend n it start t recver, turism in itself is a regenerative act.
One example f regenerative turism is ecturism. Ecturism invlves traveling t natural areas with the aim f learning abut and cnserving the envirnment. It invlves activities such as hiking, bird watching, and wildlife viewing. Anther example f regenerative turism is cmmunity-based turism. Cmmunity-based turism invlves staying with lcal cmmunities and participating in their cultural activities, such as ur Buffal Curd Experience in Sri Lanka, r ur Rice Wine Trek in Las. Regenerative turism can als invlve the use f sustainable and regenerative practices in the turism industry itself.

It is a philsphy that aims t nt nly minimize the negative impact f turism but als t actively cntribute t the regeneratin f lcal ecsystems, ecnmies, and cultures.(再生旅游是旅游业中越来越受欢迎的概念。它不同于可持续旅游,因为它不仅仅是最小化旅游的负面影响。这一理念不仅旨在最大限度地减少旅游业的负面影响,而且还积极促进当地生态系统、经济和文化的再生。)”可知,再生旅游的目的是促进可再生和可持续的旅游业。故选D。

40.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The benefits f regenerative turism are many.(再生旅游的好处很多。)”和最后一段“In cnclusin, regenerative turism is a prmising cncept that has the ptential t transfrm the travel industry. By actively cntributing t the regeneratin f lcal ecsystems, ecnmies, and cultures, regenerative turism can create a better future fr bth peple and the planet.(总之,再生旅游是一个很有前途的概念,有可能改变旅游业。通过积极促进当地生态系统、经济和文化的再生,再生旅游可以为人类和地球创造更美好的未来。)”可知,根据最后两段,作者可能会同意“再生旅游有着光明的未来。”故选A。
