洛阳强基联盟高二12月联考·英语参考答案、提示及评分细则【答案与解析】本文是一篇是应用文。文章主要介绍了四位历史上杰出的女性，她们在文学、医疗、科学和慈善领域的贡献激励了无数人。1.D细节理解题。根据JaneAusten部分“Herfaceisnowonthenew£10note,remindinguseverydayhowmuchherbookshaveaffectedusall.”可知,作者提到10英镑的钞票是为了强调对JaneAusten作品的认可度和她作品的影响力。2.B细节理解题。根据四位女性的介绍可知，Nightingale对护理业有着重大的贡献。3.A细节理解题。根据MarieCurie和MotherTeresa的介绍可知,她们都获得过诺贝尔奖。【答案与解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过叙述Ghunta的成长经历，特别是他从几乎无法阅读到成为儿童书作家和获奖诗人的转变过程，展现了个人奋斗和老师的帮助对他人生路径的深刻影响。4.A细节理解题。根据第二段“Notonlyhadhebeenkepthomefromschoolasachild,buthehadnoaccesstobooks.”可知，家庭环境的原因造成了Ghunta较差的阅读能力。5.C细节理解题。根据第三段及第四段“Underherguidance,Ghunta’sreadingskillsfinallystartedtoimprove.Hestartedtofeelmoreconfident.‘Shehadleftmewiththegiftofliteracy,’hesaid,‘andwiththevalueasahumanbeing.’Hislifetookanewdirection.”可知,一位年轻老师的激励使Ghunta阅读水平提高,生活也有了新方向。6.B段落大意题。根据第五段的叙述可知，Ghunta得了很多的奖项、上了大学、成为儿童书作家并且开始写长篇诗集，所以第五段主要概括了Ghunta的成就。7.D推理判断题。本文叙述了Ghunta从几乎无法阅读到成为儿童书作家和获奖诗人的转变过程。在此期间一个年轻老师的出现改变了Ghunta的人生方向，由此可见，教师的信念照亮学生成长之路。【答案与解析】本文是一篇说明文。一项新研究显示，在幼儿园对3到5岁的孩子进行以感官为基础的食物教育会增强他们选择蔬菜和水果的意愿。8.D细节理解题。根据第一段及第二段“Theresearchersusedthesensory-basedfoodeducationmethodSapere,whichmakesuseofchildren'snaturalwayofrelyingonallofthefivesenseswhenlearningnewthings.”可知,该研究主要考查了对于幼儿园儿童来说Sapere方法在食品教育中的有效性。研究表明，通过以感官为基础的食品教育方法Sapere，可以提高3到5岁幼儿园儿童选择蔬菜和水果的意愿。9.A细节理解题。根据第三段“Theresearcherscomparedchildrenindifferentkindergartengroups.”可知,研究者使用对比的方式进行研究。10.B词义猜测题。根据第四段“Thefindingsshowthatsensory-basedfoodeducationincreasedchildren’swillingnesstochoosevegetablesandfruit...”可知，食物教育在提高儿童选择蔬菜和水果的意愿上起着重要的作用。所以幼儿园的食物教育可以帮助缩小不同家庭间孩子在饮食习惯上的差异。故画线词与Narrow意思最为接近。11.C观点态度题。根据第五段Kähkönen的叙述，Sapere食品教育方法似乎也改善了幼儿园群体的饮食氛围，这鼓励孩子们在他们的盘子里选择更多样化的食物。因此可推断，Kähkönen对Sapere方法持“支持”的态度。【答案与解析】本文是一篇说明文。红熊猫主要的食物是竹子，但是由于人类的行为和自然灾害的影响导致竹子和它们的栖息地减少。针对这样的情况，各个国家正在全力进行保护。12.C细节理解题。根据第二段“About98%ofaredpanda’sdietisbamboo.Theyneedalotofittosurvive—around2kilogramseachday.However,findingenoughbambooisdifficultastheredpanda’shabitatbecomessmaller.”可知,由于红熊猫的栖息地越来越小，找到足够的竹子变得很困难。13.A推理判断题。根据第四段的首句也就是主旨句可知，此段在讲拯救此物种和它的栖息地所采取的措施——建了很多保护区。故这些数据显示了全世界为保护红熊猫所做出的努力。14.D细节理解题。根据最后一段“Theyworkwithlocalcommunitygroupstoestablishwildlifefeedingcenters...”可知,RedPandaNetwork通过与当地社群合作建立野生动物饲养中心来保护红熊猫。15.C标题判断题。文章主要介绍了红熊猫面对的严峻形势和各国组织对它们的保护。【答案与解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要提供了一些写书的建议。16.F根据句式特点——疑问句,只能从C和F两项中选出答案;再根据主旨句“Understandwhyyou'rewritingabook”可知与写书有关；故选F项“你梦想看到你的名字出现在书的封面上吗”。17.B根据空后“There’snooneidealworkspaceforeverywriter.”可知,B项“选择适合自己的工作场所”适合作本段的主题句。18.G根据空前“Ifyouwanttowriteonadesktop,makesuretohaveasuitabledesknearby.”及空后“That'sbecauseit'seasytolosefocusifyourbackaches.”可知,G项“同时,记得选择一把有支撑性的椅子”符合。19.D根据空前“Setyourwritinggoalbasedonyourwritingspeedandanyspecificdeadlines.”可知,D项“设定好目标后尽量不要更改”符合。20.A根据空前“...you'llgothroughmanyroundsoffeedbackandrevisionsbeforeyourbookispublished.”(你的书在出版之前你要经历很多轮反复修改)及空后“it'sallpartoftheprocessofwritingthebestbookyoucan!”(它是你能写出最好的书的必经之路)可知，A项“不要气馁”符合。【答案与解析】本文是一篇记叙文。艺术家RakuInoue用花瓣、种子、树叶等创作昆虫、动物、流行文化人物等花卉艺术作品。21.B根据第二段中的painstakingfloralart“细心的以花装饰的艺术”可知,arrangingflowers需要细心地做,故选carefully。22.D根据下文第34空后的torecreateallsortsofinsects可知,选recreate。23.AInoue的花艺之旅始(began)于2017年一个刮风的日子。24.C当时，他正在蒙特利尔的家中，看着后院玫瑰花丛上的几十朵粉红色的花被强风吹(shake)得摇摇欲坠。25.D看到地上(ground)这些美丽的花瓣,他心想:“太浪费(waste)了!”26.A见上题解析。27.B看着这些花(flowers),Inoue产生了用(use)它们创作艺术的想法。28.C见上题解析。29.D他把它们排成甲虫的形状(shape)，用小树枝做腿，他的小项目效果很好，所以他一直在做。30.A此题考查动词短语,keepat坚持;waitfor等待;complainabout抱怨;referto谈到。根据句意可知选keepat。31.B在完成了第一个花卉艺术作品之后，这位有天赋的(gifted)艺术家开始在他的设计(designs)中加入种子、叶子和其他植物部分。32.C见上题解析。33.D随着时间的推移(passing)
