Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

The Israeli farmers who pioneered the revolutionary technology known as drip irrigation weren’t trying to solve one of the world’s most urgent problems.They were just trying to survive.They lived in the desert, and they didn’t have enough water to grow their crops.

In its simplest form, it was little more than a pipe with holes in it.But behind each hole was a hi-tech dripper that let out just the right amount of water.Snaked along a row of crops so that the holes were positioned directly above the roots, the pipe could direct each precious drop of water directly to the plants, getting a bigger harvest while using a very small amount of the water.

Over time, the farmers improved upon the technology, perfecting the drippers that regulated the flow of water, and connecting the pipelines to computers that could determine exactly how much water each plant needed and when.

If the global population kept growing, the rest of the world would increasingly resemble their little community in the desert.So they began selling their irrigation systems in other parts of the world, eventually expanding to more than 110 countries.Netafirm, the company says it’s lifting people out of poverty and conserving water at a time when the importance of doing so has never been clearer.

The mass adoption of drip irrigation won’t save the world by itself.To avoid the coming catastrophe, nearly everybody will, in some way, have to do more with less, perhaps through accepting and using other new technologies.Otherwise, it’s going to get ugly.

A.It saves the world all by itself. B.It is controlled by computers.

C.It makes irrigation more effective. D.It provides deserts with water.

2.What does “one of the world’s most urgent problems” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A.Lacking water. B.Lacking labor.

C.Lacking food. D.Lacking energy.

3.How does drip irrigation help farmers with crops?

A.By drilling holes on the pipes. B.By regulating water via drippers.

C.By snaking pipes along the crops. D.By placing pipes just above roots.

4.Which of the following will be the best slogan for Netafirm to sell the irrigation systems?

A.Less water; More harvest. B.New technology; New world.

C.More grain; Less starvation. D.Water saving; World surviving.

Instagram is containing so many photos of food—now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.

I always thought people’s taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK, I’d probably do it too.‘The Picture House’ is the world’s first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!

The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to cash in on people’s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals.So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.

The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities.They serve two-course meals that customers don’t have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.

The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s ‘Food for Life’ campaign, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food.“Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special,” said marketing director Margaret Jobling.

The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far.And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way.Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses.Last year, in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat.

5.Instagram probably is 　　　. 

A.a restaurant free of charge B.a campaign of “Food for Life”

C.a new marketing project D.a program used to share photos

6.What’s the author’s attitude to this new trend?

A.Opposed. B.Interested.

C.Confused. D.Unconcerned.

7.‘The Picture House’ encourages sharing photos of its food to 　　　. 

A.attract more customers B.raise the price of frozen food

C.create a new social media trend D.reward the regular customers

8.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?

A.No Need to Pay. B.The Pop-up Diner.

C.Pay by Picture. D.Food for Life.

语篇解读:本文是记叙文。讲的是英国一家餐厅将餐厅经营与时下流行的照片分享相结合的事例。人们上传照片可免单。

答案及剖析:

5.D　推理判断题。从全文大意中可推断出Instagram是用于共享照片的程序,故选D。

6. B　推理判断题。根据第二段中I always thought people’s taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK, I’d probably do it too.可以看出作者在这样的餐厅里可能也会拍照上传照片的。可见作者对这一趋势感兴趣,故选B。

7.A　细节理解题。根据第三段中So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.可以看出,如此做是想为他们新的业务做广告,以吸引更多的顾客。故 选A。

8.C　主旨大意题。英国一家餐厅将餐厅经营与时下流行的照片分享相结合,人们只要上传照片就可以获得免单。因此最好的标题是“用照片买单”,故选C。

Ⅱ.语法填空(2018高考英语原创押题预测卷)

As is known to all,we live in a world of germs(细菌).It is impossible to avoid exposure.Genetic makeups may give some people 1.　　 　　 advantage over others. However,it does not stop people 2.　　　　 (become) sick.

Like any system,the immune system is not different.It has a tolerance too.If you eat unhealthily,your immune system will make you aware of it.

Take a step 10.　　　　 the right direction by including some healthy food in your diet. 

答案及剖析:

1.an　考查冠词。advantage 是以元音音素开头的可数名词,在此处是泛指概念,表示“一个优势”,故填an。

2.becoming　考查非谓语动词。stop sb.(from) doing sth. 阻止某人做某事。

3.illness　考查名词。冠词an 后面跟名词单数形式,故填illness。

4.will get　考查动词时态。根据时间状语in the future 判断用将来时。

5.are　考查主谓一致和时态。主语是chances,谓语动词用复数形式,根据语境判断用一般现在时,故填are。

6.habits　考查名词复数。habit是可数名词,此处用复数形式。

7.healthily　考查副词。修饰eating,故用副词形式。

8.to tell　考查非谓语动词。固定搭配be happy to do sth 很高兴做某事。

9.or　考查连词。根据语境判断此处表示选择关系,句意:你在让免疫系统的工作更容易还是更难呢?

10.in　考查介词。朝某个方向,介词用in。

Ⅲ.短文改错(2018高考英语原创押题预测卷)

My favorite proverb is “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”It mean that true friends always come to you when you’re in trouble.Last term,my father met with a traffic accident,but his right leg got injured seriously.Consequently,he received the operation and I had to look after him in the hospital.Learned about this,Li Lei was offered to take care of my father without hesitation.He also helped me make up for my missing lessons.Thank to his help and inspiration,I went through the difficulty period and regained confidence.However,a true friend always spares no effort help you when you are in trouble.We all should try to make so good friends.

答案:My favorite proverb is “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”It that true friends always come to you when you’re in trouble.Last term,my father met with a traffic accident,his right leg got injured seriously.Consequently,he received operation and I had to look after him in the hospital.about this,Li Lei　 was　offered to take care of my father without hesitation.He also helped me make up for my missing lessons.to his help and inspiration,I went through the period and regained confidence.,a true friend always spares no effort help you when you are in trouble.We all should try to make good friends.

剖析:考查动词的第三人称单数的用法。It在句中作主语,指代上文的谚语“A friend in need is a friend indeed”,谓语动词用单数,并且句子是一般现在时,所以mean 要用第三人称单数形式,故将mean 改为means。

考查连词。前面说到“我父亲遇到车祸”,后面提到“他的右腿受伤严重”,所以前后应该是递进关系,而不是转折关系,故将but改为and。

考查冠词。因为“我父亲腿部受伤”,所以接受了一个手术。第一次提到手术,要用an,不能用定冠词the,故将the 改为an。

考查非谓语动词。本句中句子的主语应该是后面的Li Lei,和learn为主动关系,所以应该使用learn 的主动形式,也就是说要用现在分词,而不是过去分词。故将Learned 改为Learning。

考查动词语态。这里是李雷主动提出照顾“我父亲”,所以应该用主动语态,故将offered前面的was 去掉。

考查固定搭配。thanks to 是固定搭配,所以要在Thank 后面加上s,故将Thank 改为Thanks。

考查形容词的用法。这里应该用形容词修饰名词period,指“困难的时期”,所以应该将名词difficulty 改为形容词形式difficult。

考查副词的用法。此处是承接、总结前面的话,所以前后应该是因果关系,故将However 改为Therefore。

考查非谓语动词。spare no effort to do 是固定短语,意思是“不遗余力做某事”,所以要在help 之前加上to。

so 修饰形容词或副词。such 修饰单数或复数名词。friends 是复数名词,所以应该用such 修饰,故将so 改为such。
