【正文】 lieve unemployment.C.WPA artists painted pictures in schools and libraries.D.The WPA produced many valuable and lasting works.【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，大蕭條時(shí)期美國總統(tǒng)羅斯福實(shí)施新政時(shí)建立的一個(gè)政府機(jī)構(gòu) 公共事業(yè)振興署,以助解決當(dāng)時(shí)大規(guī)模的失業(yè)問題。此結(jié)構(gòu)的建立取得了顯著的成果,極大改善了當(dāng)時(shí)的社會(huì)狀況。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的The intention of the WPA, which functioned from 1935 to 1943,從1935到1943年這項(xiàng)機(jī)構(gòu)一直在起作用，可知,它是在1935開始實(shí)施的。故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。文中沒有提到WPA是否是羅斯福最愛的政策,所以排除B項(xiàng)；文中只提到二戰(zhàn)時(shí)WPA的畫家被派去軍隊(duì)畫海報(bào),沒有提到是否起重大重用,故排除C項(xiàng)；文中只提到事業(yè)的畫家創(chuàng)作美化美國的的作品,沒有提到給他們做培訓(xùn),故排除D項(xiàng)。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。第二段講述了WPA39。s Writers Project的相關(guān)情況,第三段講述了 Federal Arts Project的相關(guān)情況,所以推測處文章用列舉事實(shí)的方式來寫的。故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)最后一段中的Many WPA artworks, including hundreds of small drawings picturing scenes of everyday life, still exist today.很多WPA時(shí)期的藝術(shù)作品,包括成千上萬的展示日常生活的畫作,至今保存完好，可知本文主要寫WPA時(shí)期的影響深淵的作品。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇政治經(jīng)濟(jì)類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。9．閱讀理解 Loud cheers and applause broke out at NASA39。s Jet Propulsion Lab on Monday, November 25, 2018, as the unmanned lander, called Insight, touched down on Mars, after nearly seven years from design to launch to landing. The great arrival of the spacecraft173。designed to listen for quakes and shakes as a way to discover the Red Planet39。s inner secrets, how it formed billions of years ago and, how other planets like Earth took shape173。marked the eighth successful landing on Mars in Nasa39。s history. Minutes after InSight landed on the surface of Mars, the first image was sent back, showing a wide flat area as seen through a dirty camera. The touchdown came after a nearly sevenmonth, 300 millionmile travel from Earth to Mars, during which the InSight spacecraft had to slow down from a speed of more than 12,000 mph. The spacecraft39。s heat shelter helped the lander survive temperatures as high as 2,700℉. Each step along the way was watched nervously at JPL, with updates delayed by the eightminute light travel time between Earth and Mars. Mission controllers hugged each other with joy when the signals were received. We are proud of everything that has gone on today, they told us reporters. The first picture of the surface of Mars was sent back to Earth by one of the MarCO nanosatellites (馬可納米衛(wèi)星) that acpanied InSight during its travel to Mars. The dust from the landing made the view unclear. Pictures from it were expected to be clearer once the dust settled and the lens cover (鏡頭蓋) was removed. Hours later, InSight39。s batteries were charging as expected. The InSight team also passed on another picture, taken by a different camera that39。s fixed on the lander39。s robotic arm. The view is clearer, showing the robotic arm and the seismometer, which is used to discover the actual movement of the ground.（1）What do we know about InSight lander from the passage? A.It has landed successfully on Mars eight times.B.It travelled all the way at the speed of 12,000 mph.C.Mission controllers helped it survive high temperature.D.The task of it is to find out the inner mysteries of Mars.（2）We know what Mars looks like by . A.studying pictures InSight lander sends backB.reading reports sent back by the person on MarsC.collecting images sent back by MarCO nanosatellitesD.analyzing information the robot on InSight lander sends back（3）How did the mission controllers feel when they received signals from Insight? A.Unconcerned.B.Worried.C.Amazed.D.Excited.（4）The passage is most probably taken from . A.a fiction novelB.a news reportC.a travel magazineD.an official statement【答案】 （1）D（2）C（3）D（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道，介紹了美國航天總局的InSight登陸和探測火星的相關(guān)情況。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中The great arrival of the spacecraft173。designed to listen for quakes and shakes as a way to discover the Red Planet39。s inner secrets,可知，設(shè)計(jì)Insight的主要目的是探測火星的內(nèi)部秘密。故選D。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的The first picture of the surface of Mars was sent back to Earth by one of the MarCO nanosatellites (馬可納米衛(wèi)星) that acpanied InSight during its travel to Mars.可知，馬克納米衛(wèi)星能夠把拍攝火星的照片傳回地球，通過照片我們就可以知道火星的外表。故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“Mission controllers hugged each other with joy when the signals were received.”當(dāng)收到來自Insight的信號(hào)時(shí)，任務(wù)控制員們都高興地抱在一起，可知接收到信號(hào)時(shí)任務(wù)控制人員很高興。故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。縱觀全文可知，本文介紹了美國航天總局的Insight登陸和探測火星的相關(guān)情況，所以可以推斷出它最有可能是新聞報(bào)道。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇新聞報(bào)道，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息。并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。10．閱讀短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 The secret to living longer could be as simple as picking up your walking pace, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Sydney found that walking at a brisk (快的) or fast pace was associated with a risk reduction of 24 percent for any cause of death. This effect was even more obvious in older age group, with fast walkers over the age of 60 reducing their risk of death by a surprising 53 percent. Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis, who led the study, explained, A fast pace is generally five to six kilometers per hour, but it really depends on a walker39。s fitness levels。 an alternatives indicator is to walk at a pace that makes you slightly out of breath or sweaty. In the study, the researchers looked at the results of 11 surveys from 1994 to 2008, in which participants recorded their walking pace, as well as age, sex and BMI. The analysis showed that walking at an average pace was associated with a 20 percent risk reduction for allcause mortality (死亡率) pared with walking at a slow pace, while walking at a brisk or fast pace was associated with a risk reduction of 24 percent. The researchers hope the findings will encourage the development of public health message about the benefits of walking pace. Professor Stamatakis added, These analyses suggest that increasing walking pace may be a straightforward way for people to improve heart health and risk for premature mortality—providing a simple message for public health campaigns to promote. Especially in situations when walking more isn39。t possible due to time pressures or a less wa
