30、regarded that it is not only popular with locals and tourists，it is also seen as a major and valuable scholarly resource.語篇解讀：這是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章主要講述了在倫敦度假期間四處可以免費參觀的旅游景點。21What can we know about the Trafalgar Square？ _D_ AIt borders the Thames.BIt has a history of over three centuries.CThere are many factor

34、C正確。BMachines in the home have a short history.Sewing machines, washing machines and tumble dries are common enough today, but a hundred years ago few people could even imagine such things.However, inventors have designed and built a wide range of household machines since then.In most cases the inve

35、ntor tried to patent(申請專利)his machine, to stop anyone copying it.Then he tried to produce a lot of them.If the machine became popular, the inventor could make a lot of money.In 1790 the first sewing machine was patented.The inventor was an Englishman called Thomas Saint.There was nothing to match hi

36、s machine for forty years, and then someone built a similar device.He was a Frenchman, Bartelemy Thimonier.Neither of these early machines worked very well, however.It wasnt until 1846 that an inventor came up with a really efficient sewing machine.He was an American, Elias Howe，and his machine was

37、good enough to beat five skilled sewing women He didnt make much money from it, however.The first commercially successful sewing machine was patented by Isaac Singer five years later.Today, we take washing machines for granted, but there was none before 1869.The revolving drum(旋轉(zhuǎn)桶)of that first mach

38、ine set a pattern for the future, but it was crude by todays standards.The drum was turned by hand, and needed a lot of effort.Eight years passed before someone produced an electric washing machine.The world had to wait even longer for a machine to dry clothes.The first spin­drier was another A

39、merican invention, patented in 1924; but it was 20 years before such machines were widely used.It was yet another American, called Bissell, who introduced the carpet sweeper.He patented the original machine back in 1876.It didnt pick up dirt very well, but it was quicker than a dustpan and brush.Thi

40、rty­six years later, even the carpet sweeper was old­fashioned: modern homes now have a vacuum cleaner(吸塵器)with an electric motor to suck the dust.語篇解讀：本文主要介紹了家用機器的發(fā)展史以及它們的發(fā)明者申請專利情況的介紹。 24. Whose sewing machine could do far more than the work that was done by five skilled sewing women? _C_

41、 AThomas Saints. BBartelemy Thimoniers.CElias Howes. DIsaac Singers.解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段倒數(shù)第三句可知，一個名叫Elias Howe的美國人發(fā)明的機器足以擊敗五名熟練的縫紉女工，故應(yīng)該選C。25According to the article, modern inventors _A_ .Afollow the pattern of the first revolving drum but improve it much Bonly imitate the first washing machine Cpower th

42、e first ever­made washing machine by electricity Dhave to wait for the first spin­drier for a long time解析： 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可知，現(xiàn)代的發(fā)明家傳承了舊式旋轉(zhuǎn)滾筒洗衣機的設(shè)計，并且采用了電作動力，故應(yīng)該選A。26The underlined word “crude” in the sentence “but it was crude by todays standards” (Para.3) probably means _D_ .Auseless Bugly&

43、#173;lookingCrough Dnot skillfully made解析： 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段The drum was turned by hand，and needed a lot of effort.可知，滾筒需要手動搖動，這需要耗費很大力氣，因此這個設(shè)計是不夠精巧的，故應(yīng)該選D。 27. The article mainly tells us about _C_ .Athe great inventors in the worldBthe important inventions in the worldCthe short history of household mac

44、hinesDthe importance of the machines used in the home解析： 主旨大意題。本文主要講了家用機器的發(fā)展史以及它們的發(fā)明者申請專利情況的介紹，故應(yīng)該選C。C(2019·湖南省岳陽市高二期末)My first book had been rejected by every major American publisher.My first agent wasnt communicating.My dream of a life as a successful author was in tatters.“It isnt going to

45、happen，” I said to my friend.“And I have to accept it.”“If you lose faith in your product，no one else will have faith in it，” she told me.And，I knew she was right.But，how could I believe in myself when I hit a wall at every turn? I knew I had a good product.The book featured interviews with world

46、73;famous people who had learned how to succeed and lead the hard way.It had information that could help other people.As a consumer，I would have loved that book because it had the great wisdom I so desperately needed.And，their stories made for good reading.I had a good book.What I didnt have was a p

47、ublisher.I had to find a way to get that book sold and on the shelves.But，how?The hardest challenge was forcing myself to do battle again.I had to find the strength to believe in myself when it seemed like no one else believed in me.When I hit a wall，I usually need to get more information to figure

48、out what is going wrong.So，I did some research and found out that my initial vision for the bookwhere all the interview subjects got their own chapterswasnt marketable to big publishers because that format does not sell tons of books.What I had to do was recognize，restructure and rewrite.I needed an

49、 agent.There are thousands of agents.Surely one of them was right for me.So，I started sending out query(詢問)letters.Within a week，I had a dozen agents who wanted the book.I chose the one who I thought would believe in me and my dream.She did get me my choices of publishers.Hard won Wisdom wound up be

50、ing a best­selling book.But，it almost never was.語篇解讀：這是一篇記敘文。本文主要講述了自己推銷自己的第一本書的親身經(jīng)歷，告訴讀者無論再難都不要輕言放棄。作者的第一本書沒有出版社愿意出版，找不到合適的代理人，貌似作者想成為一名成功的作家是不可能了，但是作者始終沒有放棄，認為是金子總會發(fā)光，自己的書會成為暢銷書。28Which can best replace the underlined part “in tatters” in Paragraph 1？ _B_ AGreat. BRuined.CStrange. DCherished.

51、解析：詞義猜測題。該句前面講的是作者的第一本書被出版社拒絕，第一個代理人也不能交流，所以作者的處境是艱難的，因為作者寫的是書，所以他想成為一名成功的作家，但是他的處境使他成為成功的作家的夢想破滅了。AGreat好的；BRuined毀滅的；CStrange奇怪的；DCherished珍愛的。故B選項正確。29How can the authors first book be described？ _D_ AIt is very theoretical.BIt contains many love stories.CIt is about a well­known person.DIt

52、is quite useful for many people.解析：推理判斷題。由文中第四段的 It had information that could help other people.可知，作者的這本書對很多人是有用的。故D選項正確。30Which part of the mentioned book was changed by the author？ _C_ AThe cover of it. BThe main content.CThe structure of it. DThe introduction part.解析：推理判斷題。由倒數(shù)第三段及What I had to d

53、o was recognize，restructure and rewrite.可知，作者書的結(jié)構(gòu)需要重新寫。故C選項正確。31What does the authors story tell us？ _A_ ANever give up.BEasier said than done.CEvery man has his faults.DNever judge a book by its cover.解析：主旨大意題。文中反復(fù)提到作者的書無法出版的問題，而作者正視這些問題，不斷的修改，期望能出版，期間作者從未放棄，一直堅信自己的書會成為暢銷書，所以他想告訴讀者不要放棄。故A選項正確。D(201

54、9·河南省濮陽市高二期末)As more and more schools rush to put digital devices(數(shù)碼設(shè)備)in the hands of every student，many parents are becoming increasingly concerned about the quality of their childrens education.The promise of increased student academic(學業(yè)上的)achievement through the use of technology hasnt pro
