B.Education.C.Science. D.Entertainment.【解析】选A。推理推断题。本文讲解并描述了在美国消逝了19年的麻疹又卷土重来的相关状况。由此推知本文会出现在报纸中的“健康”版块。BOxfordandCambridgehavenowdecidedtoremovethewordsCAN’TandIMPOSSIBLEfromtheirdictionary.JessicaCox,25,agirlbornwithoutarms,standsinsideanaircraft.ThegirlfromTucson,ArizonagottheSportPilotcertificatelatelyandbecamethefirstpilotlicensedtoflyusingonlyherfeet.JessicaCoxofTucsonwasbornwithoutarms,butthathasonlystoppedherfromdoingonething:usingtheword“can’t”.Herlatestflightintotheseeminglyimpossibleisbecomingthefirstpilotlicensedtoflyusingonlyherfeet.Withonefootmanningthecontrolsandtheotherdelicatelyguidingthesteeringcolumn,Cox,25,soaredtoachieveaSportPilotcertificate.Hercertificatequalifieshertoflyalight-spotaircrafttoaltitudesof10,000feet.“She’sagoodpilot.She’srocksolid,”saidParrishTraweek,42,theflyinginstructoratSanManuel’sRayBlairAirport.ParrishTraweekrunsPCAircraftMaintenanceandFlightServicesandhastrainedmanypilots,someofwhomdidn’tcomeclosetoCox’sabilities.“Whenshecameupheredrivingacar,”Traweekrecalled,“Iknewshe’dhavenoproblemflyingaplane.”Doctorsneverlearnedwhyshewasbornwithoutarms,butshefiguredoutearlyonthatshedidn’twanttouseprostheticdevices.So,thenexttimeyouarereadytotellyourself,“Ican’tpossibly...”rememberthisamazingyoungwomanandchangeyourvocabulary.【文章大意】文章叙述诞生时就失去双臂的Cox获得了驾驶飞机的驾照,成为了第一个获准用脚飞行的飞行员,从而向人们证明残疾人和一般人一样,有实力实现自己的目标。5.ThewordCAN’Twillberemovedfromthetwodictionariesbecauseof______.

A.thefirstwomanpilotB.averyspecialflightserviceC.agreatflightwithalight-spotaircraftD.theflightinaseeminglyimpossibleway【解析】选D。细微环节理解题。依据第一段“JessicaCoxofTucsonwasbornwithoutarms,butthathasonlystoppedherfromdoingonething:usingtheword‘can’t’”以及其次段“Herlatestflightintotheseeminglyimpossibleisbecomingthefirstpilotlicensedtoflyusingonlyherfeet.”可知,JessicaCox诞生时没有双臂,但这只阻挡了她做一件事:用“can’t”这个词。她最新的一次飞行好像是不行能的,她成为了第一个获准用脚飞行的飞行员。所以“can’t”这个词将会从两个字典中被删除主要是由于,她成为了第一个获准用脚飞行的飞行员,她以一种看似不行能的方式告知全世界的人,一切都没有“can’t,impossible”。故选D。6.AccordingtoParrishTraweek,JessicaCox______.

A.fliestheplanebystandinginitB.isgoodatdrivingacarwithherlegsC.hasbeenherworkmatefortwoyearsD.isoneofthebestpilotstrainedbyher【解析】选D。细微环节理解题。依据第四段“‘She’sagoodpilot.She’srocksolid,’...someofwhomdidn’tcomeclosetoCox’sabilities.”可知,她是个好飞行员。她意志坚毅,……其中有些人还没有达到Cox的实力。所以据ParrishTraweek说,JessicaCox是她培育过的最好的飞行员之一。故选D。7.Whatcanbeknownfromthetext?A.JessicaCoxhasbeenarmlessfor25years.B.JessicaCoxwasnormalwhenshewasyoung.C.TherearenosuitableprostheticdevicesforJessicaCox.D.ThedoctorshavediscoveredhowJessicaCoxlostherarms.【解析】选A。推理推断题。依据第一段“JessicaCox,25,agirlbornwithoutarms,”可知,JessicaCox,25岁,一个诞生时没有双臂的女孩。所以推断出JessicaCox已经失去手臂25年了。故选A。8.Thebesttitleforthetextmaybe______.

A.FlyingwithnohandsB.JessicaCox,adisabledpilotC.LivingwithapositiveattitudeD.Twowordswilldisappearfromdictionaries【解析】选A。主旨大意题。通读全文可知,短文叙述了诞生时就失去双臂的Cox获得了驾驶飞机的驾照,成为了第一个获准用脚飞行的飞行员,从而向人们证明残疾人和一般人一样,有实力实现自己的目标。所以短文都是围围着标题“没有手的飞行”而绽开的。故A选项“没有手的飞行”是短文最佳的标题。故选A。C(2024·沈阳高二检测)DuikerIslandisa200-meter-longislandoffthecoastofSouthAfrica,whichissurroundedby55to57degreesFahrenheitwatersandcoveredwithover60,000sealsandsomebirds.Thisislandhasbeenhometomanybirdsandseals.Youmaythinkthisislandisaparadise.Infact,theislandisnotfamousforthesealsorbirds.However,therealstarsarethegreatwhitesharksthatleapoutofthewatertocatchthesealstheyarehunting.Youmaythinkthatthereisnowayfora15-footlong,3000-poundsharktohurlitsbodyoutofthewaterandcatchasealinmidair.Actually,thesesharksarecalled“AirJaws”.Overtheyears,thesealshavegottensmarter.Now,theygooutingroupsofsevenoreighttofeed.Theyswimdownontheseafloor,whichgivesthemextracover.Whentheyhavetoswimnearthesurfaceofwater,theyswiminazigzagpattern(Z字形).Butwithallthesetricks,theycanstillbecleverlybeatenbythesharks.Usually,thesharkswilltakeonesealawayfromitsgroupandforceittoswimonthesurface,whereitiseasytohunt.Sometimes,thesealisfortunateandgetsaway,butmostofthemdieintheprocessoftryingtosurvive.Everyyear,touristsgotoseetheseamazinganimalsleapoutofthewater,sometimesthrowingtheirwholebodiesintotheairwhentheywanttocatchtheseals.Thisisthereasonwhythisislandattractsthousandsoftouristsfromaroundtheworldeveryyear.【文章大意】南非的海豹岛上大白鲨捕食海豹的景象,每年都吸引大批的游客。9.Whichofthefollowingstatementsistrue?A.DuikerIslandiscoveredwithonly6,000seals.B.Greatwhitesharksalwayscatchsealsunderthewater.C.ThewaythegreatwhitesharkshuntmakesDuikerIslandfamous.D.DuikerIslandisa200-meter-longislandinNorthAfrica.【解析】选C。细微环节理解题。依据文中第一段第一句可知A和D项错误。依据第一段最终一句可知大白鲨会从水里跃起到半空中对海豹进行捕食,故B项错误。依据文中最终一段可知,海豹岛上真正出名的并不是海豹或者是鸟,而是在半空中捕食海豹的大白鲨。C项正确。10.Thesealsswiminazigzagpatternto______.

A.provetheyaresmartB.playingroupsC.searchforfoodD.avoidthewhitesharks【解析】选D。推理推断题。文章一、二段提到,海豹会被大白鲨捕食,第三段提到海豹在多年来的发展中是如何避开被捕杀的:海豹在海底潜游时,深海给了它们额外的爱护;它们不得不在海面上游时,则会采纳Z字形来抵挡大白鲨的攻击。故选D。11.AccordingtoParagraph3,wecanknow______.

A.thesealshavelearnedhowtoescapeB.thesealsusuallyswimnearthewatersurfaceC.thesharksareoftensuccessfulinhuntingthesealsD.thesharksarelessintelligentthantheseals【解析】选C。细微环节理解题。依据第三段可知,虽然海豹有抵挡大白鲨的方法,但还是很难逃脱大白鲨的捕杀。故A项和D项错误。在不得已的时候海豹才会游到海面上。故B项错误。虽然海豹会玩一些小把戏,但大白鲨还是能够捕获到海豹,而且大白鲨还会把一头海豹赶上海面,这样捕食起来就会更简单了,C项正确。Ⅱ.阅读填句Emergenciescanhappenanytime,anywhere,sobeingpreparedforoneisimportantforyouandyourfamily.1Sure,youcanbuyready-madefirstaidkits(急救箱)inthestore,butitisalsoeasytomakeyourown.
