Ⅰ.完形填空
(2018·青岛市高三检测)The ice roads of Canada's far north are only made of ice that spreads for many miles across nothing but open, frozen lakes. The __1__ that truckers bring to these barelyaccessible areas are always extremely important to the mines there. If an important piece of machinery does not get __2__， the company will have to __3__ eight months for the next delivery to be sent, because the ice roads are only __4__ for 3～4 months of the year. After that, they become __5__ as the ice thickness begins to thin in places.
Driving on the ice roads isn't a(n) __6__ that every truck driver can do, though. Most drivers who try this sort of work __7__ at the first sound of the ice cracking under the great __8__ of their trucks. Others make it across the frozen ice to their destination but decide the __9__ for them isn't worth the money, __10__ even the slightest mistake or fault in the road could cost a driver his/her life.
The trucks all travel in groups at a slow and __11__ pace, and keep the same distance from each other to reduce the chance of a(n) __12__， but if a truck has to __13__ for any length of time a major disaster could occur. The __14__ is not able to bear the pressure of a constant weight in one spot, and if a truck breaks down, it is a race against __15__ to get it moving again. If a truck does break through the ice and __16__， a trucker has less than a minute to get out of the icy water before he __17__.
Dianne Rowland, __18__ of an ice road trucker, said she would not let her husband go again __19__ she saw a television series that told the story of ice road truckers. Their three daughters __20__ their mother.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了加拿大“冰路”卡车司机工作的危险性。
1．A.workers B．materials
C．foods D．drinks
[解析] 根据下文的“the mines there”及“an important piece of machinery”可推测，卡车司机运送的东西多是跟矿井生产有关的“原材料(materials)”。
[答案] B
2．A.finished B．made
C．designed D．delivered
[解析] 根据下文的“the next delivery”可知，这里是假设一个重要的机器没能被“运送(delivered)”，需要下次运送的情况。
[答案] D
3．A.spend B．save
C．wait D．kill
[解析] 根据本段末的“as the ice thickness begins to thin in places”可知，冰雪会融化，所在冰路只能“用(usable)”三到四个月。过了这几个月，由于冰层变薄，冰路就会变得很“危险(dangerous)”。也就是说，错过了这三到四个月的运输期，下次运输就得“等(wait)”八个月。
[答案] C
4．A.usable B．valuable
C．acceptable D．suitable
[解析] 参见上题解析。
[答案] A
5．A.disappointing B．different
C．disturbing D．dangerous
[解析] 参见第3题解析。
[答案] D
6．A.job B．offer
C．interest D．journey
[解析] 在冰路上开卡车并不是一项每个司机都能做的“工作(job)”。
[答案] A
7．A.stay around B．stay up
C．turn around D．turn up
[解析] 根据本空后的“at the first sound of the ice cracking”不难想象，听到冰裂的声音，大部分人会害怕，所以会“掉头(turn around)”回去。
[答案] C
8．A.height B．weight
C．speed D．size
[解析] 根据常识可知，车的“重量(weight)”会让冰层裂开。
[答案] B
9．A.pain B．trouble
C．distance D．stress
[解析] 根据本句中的“even the slightest mistake or fault in the road could cost a driver his/her life”可知，“因为(because)”即使是最小的错误都可能要人命，所以有些人即使安全开到了目的地也会觉得挣的钱不值得他们承受那么大的“压力(stress)”。
[答案] D
10．A.because B．when
C．until D．but
[解析] 参见上题解析。
[答案] A
11．A.relaxed B．steady
C．gentle D．careful
[解析] 根据本段中的“not able to bear the pressure of a constant weight in one spot”可知，车不能“停(stop)”，因为一停下来，车的重量就会集中在一点，灾难可能就会发生。因此，车队需要让冰路受力均匀，以慢且“稳的(steady)”速度前进，并保持车与车之间的距离一样，这样才能减少“事故(accident)”发生的几率。
[答案] B
12．A.event B．mistake
C．accident D．change
[解析] 参见上题解析。
[答案] C
13．A.repair B．move
C．continue D．stop
[解析] 参见第11题解析。
[答案] D
14．A.ice B．truck
C．space D．destination
[解析] 本文是在谈论在冰路上驾驶卡车的危险性，因此这里是指“冰(ice)”不能在某一点持续承受压力，所以如果有车抛锚的话，司机需要跟“时间(time)”赛跑，让车及时重新行驶，否则就可能让冰裂开。
[答案] A
15．A.money B．energy
C．time D．courage
[解析] 参见上题解析。
[答案] C
16．A.disappear B．sink
C．tremble D．crash
[解析] 根据本句中的“break through the ice”可知，卡车从冰上掉进水里的话会“沉没(sink)”，司机在被淹“死(dies)”之前只有不到一分钟的时间从冰水里逃生。
[答案] B
17．A.dies B．returns
C．tries D．drives
[解析] 参见上题解析。
[答案] A
18．A.friend B．daughter
C．mother D．wife
[解析] 根据本空后的“her husband”可知，Dianne Rowland是名冰路卡车司机的“妻子(wife)”。
[答案] D
19．A.before B．although
C．after D．while
[解析] Dianne Rowland在电视上看了关于冰路司机的系列片“后(after)”意识到这项工作的危险性，所以她不让丈夫再去从事这项工作，而她的三个女儿也“同意(agreed with)”母亲的看法。
[答案] C
20．A.listened to B．agreed with
C．pointed to D. talked with
[解析] 参见上题解析。
[答案] B

[答案]
Dear Jean，
I am very glad to learn from your letter that you like Chinese painting.
The traditional Chinese painting，an important part of our country's cultural heritage, has a long history. It is very popular among people at home and abroad. What we need for painting are writing brushes, Chinese ink, Xuan paper and pigments. Besides，an important feature of Chinese painting is that a painter should combine pictures, poems, calligraphy and seals perfectly. In fact，many painters are at the same time a calligrapher and a poet as well.
In Chinese history, there are many famous traditional painters，including Qi Baishi and Xu Beihong. Qi Baishi was proficient in painting little shrimps while Xu Beihong was famous for his lively horses.
Yours，
Li Hua
