参考答案与试题解析21届_高考真题组合练（十二）一、阅读理解。1.【答案】ADB【考点】故事类阅读人物传记类阅读【解析】此题暂无解析【解答】语篇解读：在美国不同的州有着不同的法律，上高一时在NorthCarolina已经取得驾照的我，四年之后，却因年龄不足而不能在Maryland重新续证。

事实细节题。据第一段中的第一句和第二句可知。事实细节题。据第三段中的最后两句话

I

refusedtohavehimsignforme.SoIleftwithout

aMarylandlicense.可知。推理判断题。作者在上高一时就在NorthCarolina取得了驾照，而四年后在Maryland却因年龄不足而无法验证，然后作者又通过邮件在NorthCarolinaMotorVehicleOffice顺利通过验证，据此可推知，在美国不同的州有不同的法律。2.【答案】BCBA【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】此题暂无解析【解答】语篇解读：在美国出现了一种与传统学校不同的网络学校，不管人们是赞成还是反对，它正越来越多地受到人们的欢迎。

事实细节题。据第一段第二句中的。...they

receivetheirelementary（初等）andhighschool

educationbyworkingathomeoncomputers.

可知。事实细节题。据第二段中的最后一句Theyalso

sayitisdifficulttoknowifstudentsarelearning

well可知。事实细节题。据第三段中的第一句Other

educatorspraisethisnewformofeducationfor

lettingstudentsworkattheirownspeed可知。推理判断题。作者只是在陈述事实以及不同的人对网络学校的不同看法，并没有表明自己的态度，据此推断作者对cyberschools是没有任何偏见的。3.【答案】ABCA【考点】环保类阅读科普知识【解析】此题暂无解析【解答】语篇解读：是福特发明了汽车？是福特发明了生产线？都不是。福特所做的就是把目光着眼于大众，吸纳他人的想法并将其改进，正是这一点，使得福特成了汽车行业一颗耀眼的明星。

事实细节题。据第一段倒数第二句WhatHenry

Forddidwastouseotherpeople'sideasand

makethembetter.可知。事实细节题。据第二段中的第二句Itwasthebestwayofgainingpublicnotice.可推知。猜测词义题。据Thatsale前的句子。...adoctor

inDetroitboughtthefirstcarfromthecompany

可推知Thatsale指的是thesellingofacartoa

Detroitdoctor.推理判断题。据第四段中的Thatsalewasthe

beginningofHenryFord'sdream，以及下一句中的Iwillbuildamotorcarforthegreatmassof

people可推知福特的梦想是为普通大众造车。4.【答案】BCAD【考点】标题归纳题推理判断题细节理解题记叙文阅读人物故事类阅读【解析】此题暂无解析【解答】语篇解读：提起无家可归的人，你会想到什么样的人？如今美国新生一代的“无家可归之人”又是什么样的呢？让我们一起走近他们。

猜测词义题。根据下文提到的。...someofwhichprovidefoodandhousesforthehomeless

population...，可推测该组织的工作是解决（deal

with）无家可归之人的窘困问题，所以address的含义为dealwith.事实细节题。据文中第三句话中的。...uptothreemillionarehomeless...可知。事实细节题。据文章最后一句话中的。...he

oftenfindsitimpossibletofindajob,sincemost

employersrequireanyonewhowantsajobfrom

themtoprovideahomeaddressonajob

application.可知答案。事实细节题。据文章第四句话中的。...fast-risinghouseprices...havemadeitimpossiblefor

manyAmericanstomeethousingcosts.和下文中的...unabletofindnewaffordablehomes可知。二、七选五。【答案】F,A,E,G,C【考点】议论文七选五【解析】此题暂无解析【解答】略三、完形填空。【答案】DBACDBBADBCDABCADABC【考点】完形综合【解析】此题暂无解析【解答】语篇解读：事事皆有学问，赠送生日礼物亦如此。我给侄儿送生日礼物的经历，会给你很大的启示。

前文的uncle是对该词的提示。下文中的theirdearson提示该处为parents.presentsb.withsth.给予某人某物。据上文提到的paste（浆糊）和funnypictures，可知此处应是粘贴（sticking）到书上。据上文知，接连两年送给侄子的生日礼物都不是很理想，因此（therefore），我决定让他自己选择礼物。chooseforhimself，为“自己选礼物”，与上文我两次送礼物形成对照。下文的Itriedtoshowhimtoyaftertoy中的toy是对该空的提示。尽管我尽全力展示给他一件又一件玩具，但他还是不满意（pleased）。据后文提到的hehaddiscoveredsomethinghereallyliked可推知是他兴奋（excited）起来。我也很高兴，一直到（until）想起他妈妈可能说的话（我才放弃给他买这个鼓的想法）。前文提到的drum，是对此处peace的提示。因为我不想给他买鼓了，所以快速地（quickly）带他离开。后文中的therewasstillnosignofTony是对此处的提示，即他请求允许自己（onhisown）离开一会。前面的sitdown是对此处的提示。坐下来让疼痛的脚休息（rest）一下。据上文的Fifteenminutespassedbuttherewas

stillnosignofTony可推知我应是担心（worried）了。她朝四周（about）望了望。上文中的alittleboy是对此处smallboys的提示。astrangefigure一个奇怪的身影，根据下文知这是我的侄子乔装打扮的一个人物形象。他这身打扮立刻（atonce）让我想到他是第一位进入太空的穴居人。上文中的caveman是对该处的提示。四、语法填空。【答案】came,the,brings,extraordinarily,performance,appealing,in,toshow,attractions,when【考点】说明文语法填空【解析】此题暂无解析【解答】语篇解读：这是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者带着父母游玩塞维利亚的经历。

1.考查时态。根据上文中的"Thisweekend""was"可知，此处讲的是过去发生的事情，故应用一般过去时。下文中的"wasn't""made"亦是提示。

2.考查冠词。虽然天气不是很好，但是我们仍然充分利用了我们在一起的时间。makethebestof“充分利用”，为固定搭配。

3.考查时态和主谓一致。此处陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时；且动词-ing形式在句中作主语，谓语动词应用第三人称单数。故填brings.

4.考查副词。此处应用副词修饰形容词。extraordinarily“极其，非常”。

5.考查名词。我带他
