pollution.By installing air quality sensors and taking prams for a walk, a team at the University of Surrey, UK, has found that higher prams are better, because most particle pollution is concentrated in the first metre above road level.On average, children in prams breathe at a height of about 0.85 metres, meaning they are exposed to about 60 percent more pollution than adults.On top of this, particle pollution is more dangerous to babies than adults, says Jonathan Griggs at Queen Mary University of London, who was not involved in the study.Babies breathe faster than adults and they are easily hurt for the effects of pollution because the protective mechanisms in their lungs are not yet fully developed, he says.When choosing the best pram for defending against pollution, the weather is also a factor.Hot summer air concentrates pollution close to the ground, making seat height particularly important.But when the air is cold, the heat from car exhausts (排氣管) causes dangerous particles higher in the air, after which they fall.In these cases, prams with some kind of covering can help protect children from pollution falling down on them from above.“There are very few existing studies to draw conclusive evidence on which pram design is best，” says Prashant Kumar, who led the research.So far he is only able to identify broad things to look for in a pram.In the future, it may be possible to purchase add on air filter (過濾) systems for prams.One currently in development is called Brizi, which consists of a flat headrest with wings on either side of the babys head.Air is sucked in on one side, cleaned, and blown out the other, creating a bubble of slightly higher air pressure, which keeps out particles.“Designing better prams is only a temporary solution to dealing with pollution itself，” says Griggs.“Its certainly cautious not to stick your child next to an exhaust pipe, and most importantly reduce emissions on roads.”語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文?？茖W家通過研究發(fā)現(xiàn)帶有覆蓋物的可以保護嬰兒頭部的高嬰兒車可以幫助嬰兒少接觸到空氣污染。3One of the research findings is that high prams with coverings are _.Amore convenient to pushBhelpful to block sunshineCgood for protecting babies headsDeffective to protect babies from pollution解析：選D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“High prams (嬰兒車) with coverings that protect a babys head could go some way towards reducing exposure to dangerous particle pollution.”可知帶有覆蓋物的可以保護嬰兒頭部的高嬰兒車，在某種程度上可以減少對危險顆粒污染的接觸，所以能夠有效地幫助嬰兒少接觸到空氣污染。4What can parents do to protect babies?AMonitor their breathing rate.BPromote their lung development.COffer comfortable seats in hot days.DKeep babies away from exhausts.解析：選D細節(jié)理解題。由最后一段最后一句“Its certainly cautious not to stick your child next to an exhaust pipe, and most importantly reduce emissions on roads.”可知父母能做的是避免嬰兒接觸到排放廢氣的管道。5What does the passage mainly talk about?AThe benefit of high prams with coverings.BThe development of air filter system for prams.CThe necessity of designing the best prams.DThe urgency of reducing particle pollution.解析：選A主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段的內(nèi)容就可以知道本文主要講的是帶有覆蓋物的高嬰兒車的好處。C(2019南京、鹽城一模)How would you describe your style? Formal? Classical? Casual? Smart? First of all, what is style? Lets hear a few words of wisdom from the wise.“Style is knowing who you are and what you want to say，” (Gore Vidal)；“Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charm，” (John Fairchild); “Style is the perfection of a point of view，” (Robert Eberhart); “Style is a simple way of saying complicated things，” (Jean Cocteau); “Style is the dress of thoughts，” (Lord Chesterfield)So, now you know what style is, youll need to buy some clothes.But where? In the UK, you can get really cheap, stylish, second hand clothes at charity shops.Theyre great if you want exclusive labels but dont want to pay the price.The only difficulty is discovering where the really good bargains are.But dont worry, Leila Gray can help you here.Shes the proud owner of a vintage Hardy Amies coat, picked up at a charity shop for 20 a good deal when you realize it cost more than 800 new.“You have to go to the richer areas of a city，” she says.“Thats where all the labels are.It can take a bit of hunting around, but that is half the fun, and theres a lot of buried treasure just waiting to be discovered.”So, now you know where to buy your new, stylish clothes, how do you acquire your style? Experts say that mixing and matching from charity shops can help you find your own style something thats really you.Thats what Scottish musician Momus did.“My fashion tip is this，” he says, “l(fā)ook at yourself with the eye of a graphic designer.If you cant be attractive, aim for interesting or original” Momus unique style could even make him happier, too.As psychologist Marilyn Elias explains, the happiest people “judge themselves by their own yardsticks, never against what others do or have”Shoichi Aoki, the founder of Japanese street style magazine FRUiTS, agrees.“I think real fashion is what people wear on the streets, the clothes that they wear, the way that they wear them，” he says.“What you see in fashion magazines and on models has been styled and its more commercial.” He says that his inspiration for FRUiTS came from people combining traditional Japanese clothing such as the kimono and “geta”(Japanese wooden clogs) with Western fashion.“This really caught my eye，” Aoki adds.These styles may seem wild, but Aokis idea is not: be bold, be creative and find something that suits you.Maybe its time to create your own look.There are many online guides to help you.Perhaps the best advice comes from a website called wikiHow, “If you see something you like，” it says, “feel free to copy, but dont make yourself a clone.mix it up and make it yours.” Think about it!語篇解讀：本文闡述了什么是風格時尚以及如何實現(xiàn)自我的風格時尚。6What should you first do to choose the style that best suits you?AFollow the images of the wise people.BGo for whatever is fashionable.CSimplify complicated expressions.DFigure out what a true style is.解析：選D推理判斷題。第一段摘錄了幾名知名人士對“風格時尚”的理解，結(jié)合文章第二段第一句的過渡句可得知，首先要弄明白究竟什么是“style”。7What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AGetting clothes of leading brands.BBuying clothes at rather low prices.CSearching for really good bargains.DStarting a charity shop selling clothes.解析：選C代詞指代題。根據(jù)第二段的第五、六句“The only difficulty is discovering where the really good bargains are.”“But dont worry, Leila Gray can help you here.”，再對照這個that所在的句子前面的部分“It can take a bit of hunting around”可知，這里意思是說找到好的便宜貨雖然費一些時間，但是這個過程本身就是一種樂趣。8What is the focus of Shoichi Aoki and his magazine FRUiTS?ACommercialization of fashion magazines.BExpression of something personal and creative.CDesigning fashionable wear for men in the street.DPromoting Japanese traditional clothing worldwide.解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的內(nèi)容，特別是最后一句“These styles may seem wild, but Aokis idea is not: be bold, be creative and find something that suits you.”可知Aoki和他的雜志FRUiTS注重個性化和創(chuàng)意。9What is probably the best title for the passage?AHow to find the style that suits youBWhere to pick up a bargainCWhat to wear to develop your styleDWhom to model to be popular解析：選A標題歸納題。文章第一段首先解釋什么是時尚，然后從第二段開始就導入主題：怎樣才能找到適合你自己的時尚風格。所以選A。D(2019南京、鹽城一模)J.K.Rowling is the author of the most successful book series in history, but her attempt to take on a new career as a screenwriter hasnt been as smooth as she may have thought it would be.The sequel (續(xù)篇), “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”， shows that even the most successful author in the world is in need of checks and balances when making the transition to cinema.Following the sale of half a billion copies of the Harry Potter series, Rowling is working hard to extend and enrich the mythology she created around the child wizard.In contrast to the eight Harry Potter movies, which were based on the seven books and most of which were written by experienced screenwriter Steve Kloves, the “Fantastic Beasts” series is scripted only by Rowling.This time she skipped the bookstores and went straight to the movie theater.The “Fantastic Beasts” series takes its title from one of Harry Potters textbooks.The leap backward in time, a new set of adult heroes and a globespanning background show that Rowling is in tune with her fans and the spirit of the times.Harry Potter and his friends started out as a typical product of 1990s naivety, but since then the loyal veteran audience has experienced the shocks of the 21st century and grown mature and discouraged.The “Fantastic Beasts” series feel less like childrens fare; they deal with adults and frightening events that occurred in Europe at the end of the 1920s.Its 1927, and the criminal Grindelwald has escaped from prison to Europe.The hero, Newt Scamander, a zoologist of fantastic beasts, prefers to distance himself from politics and maintain his improvised nature reserve in London.But the young Prof.Dumbledore reminds him that neutrality is not an option in hard times.Dumbledore urges him to cross the Channel to Paris and stop Grindelwald, who is trying to plot a war to ensure the purity of the wizard race.The rough outline of the plot constitutes only part of the movie.There are many other characters who appear in the mystery.I will mention the boy Credence who continues to have a central role in the struggle between the hero and the villain, even as his background remains a mystery.Similarly, Newts brother and partner, the snakewoman Nagini, and other new and old characters hint at an obscure past and future.Rowling populates her world with characters large and small, odd beasts and simplifies its story to lay the foundation work of the universe.The film lays strong foundations of mystery, but forgets to build any sort of structure above them.Its like a construction site where the budget ran out too fast.With movie screens full of superheroes and fantasy films, and every studio trying to float a fictional universe, Rowling is todays most creative builder of cinema worlds, but theres still a difference between her and a megacorporation like Disney.Every character and beast is there because Rowling said so, not because the marketing division thought it would promote sales of merchandise.Rowling clearly has a true passion to create a mythology, and just as clearly, she hasnt yet finished creating it.The “Fantastic Beasts” series offers a world even fuller than that of Harry Potter.Once more she collaborates with David Yates, who directed the last four Harry Potter movies and now the two “Fantastic Beasts” pictures.Still, the world shes created would be even more wondrous if Rowling had only filled it out with a crystallized or at least coherent plot.In the Harry Potter series, she mostly succeeded in making the films into independent works.But without experienced screenwriters to mediate between her imagination and the screen, the two “Fantastic Beasts” episodes are more like a chess game in which the creator moves characters from A to B as part of a broader strategy which remains unclear.“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is a film made for existing fans and doesnt bother to appeal to a new audience.Not by chance does it offer a more mature world for fans who have grown up at least as much as Daniel Radcliffe.For them, the movie delivers the goods, but little of the magic remains.If Rowling continues to put out films without a beginning and an end, her world will collapse, leaving only the middle.It may be entertainment with captivating characters and effects, but its not a mowe.語篇解讀：本文對J.K.Rowling編寫的劇本神奇的野獸：Grindelwald的罪行做了評論，說明即使是世界上最成功的小說家，要向電影過渡成為劇作家都是有一定的難度的。10What change has JK.Rowling made in her writing career?AShe was forced to abandon her original writing career and start a new one.BShe was determined to skip the bookstores and publish books on her own.CShe started a new fantasy book having nothing to do with the Harry Potter series.DShe tried to enrich the Harry Potter series as a screenwriter rather than a novelist.解析：選D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后兩句“ . the Fantastic Beasts series is scripted only by Rowling. This time she skipped the bookstores and went straight to the movie theater.”可以推斷她試圖以編劇而不是小說家的身份豐富哈利波特系列。11Who are probably the target audience of the “Fantastic Beasts” series?AKids newly introduced to magic.BTeenage students with grand dreams.CAdults going through life changes.DProfessional critics of fantasy books.解析：選C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句“The Fantastic Beasts series feel less like childrens fare; they deal with adults and frightening events that occurred in Europe at the end of the 1920s.”可知這個神奇的野獸系列不像是兒童的食物，他們處理的是20世紀20年代末發(fā)生在歐洲的成人身上的一些恐怖事件。所以這個系列劇是針對成年人的。12What are the features of the “Fantastic Beasts” series?AComplex story and exciting characters.BSimple story but abundant characters.CChildish story and strange characters.DSad story but inspiring characters.解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段的第二句“There are many other characters who appear in the mystery.”以及倒數(shù)第三句“Rowling populates her world with characters large and small, odd beasts and simplifies its story to lay the foundation work of the universe.”可知這個系列劇中人物眾多，但是故事比較簡潔。13Big corporations like Disney choose movie characters and beasts based on _.Apotential profitability of the moviesBpreference of their screenwritersCconsultation with the original authorDinvestigation into successful films解析：選A根據(jù)文章第六段第一句和第二句“ . but theres still a difference between her and a megacorporation like Disney.”“Every character and beast is there because Rowling said so, not because the marketing division thought it would promote sales of merchandise.”可知像Disney這樣的公司他們的喜好和J.K.Rowling不一樣。J.K. Rowling塑造人物并不是考慮商業(yè)銷售情況，那么像Disney這樣的大公司考慮的是電影的潛在盈利能力。14How does the author explain Rowlings failure to create a clear plot?ABy describing shooting processes.BBy listing official statistics.CBy drawing a comparison.DBy citing examples.解析：選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段的內(nèi)容可知作者通過比較Harry Potte和The Fantastic Beasts系列，指出沒有經(jīng)驗豐富的劇作家在她的想象力和銀屏之間做調(diào)停，The Fantastic Beasts系列劇的故事情節(jié)并不是太清晰的。15What does the author think of JK.Rowlings performance as a screenwriter?AIt is really a disappointment for movie goers.BIt is widely acknowledged by her book fans.CThere exits much more magic in her screenplay.DThere is still much room for improvement.解析：選D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的第二句“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald， shows that even the most successful author in the world is in need of checks and balances when making the transition to cinema.”可知作者認為J.K.Rowling要從一個小說家轉(zhuǎn)變成一個劇作家還需要歷練。10
