　　(2024·威海高考模擬)

　　Behind the traffic noise and modern-day confusion on Stoney Creek Road in Bexley lies a small but amazing piece of history.Just a century ago，Mr Harold Chapman Snr.founded Sydney’s Famous Original Doll Hospital and，although the Hospital has relocated several times，you cannot help but get a sense of days gone by when you walk through the doors.

　　In 1913 Sydney’s first Doll Hospital was opened in Beamish Street.Campsie by Mr Harold Chapman Snr as part of his General Store，all beginning from a simple shipping accident.Harold’s brother was in the business of importing dolls from Japan and during the shipping process the rubber bands holding the dolls together would go rotten and it was Harold who found a way to repair them.From such a small beginning grew quite a successful business as demand for doll repairs increased.

　　The business was taken over in the 1930’s by Harold’s son，also Harold Chapman who relocated the Doll Hospital to Her Majesty’s Arcade in Sydney where the business expanded.The real boom came in 1939 with World War Ⅱ

　　and the extreme restrictions on production and import.Suddenly new dolls were no longer an option so little children had to have their “best friends” lovingly repaired.

　　In 1968 the Doll Hospital moved to its present location.It is now run by Mr Geoff Chapman，Harold Jnr’s son.The Hospital is not only in its third generation of owners，but also its third generation of “doctors”，the skills and knowledge being passed down through the family of repairers.

　　Flipping through the “Before and After” photo album，you can see just how many wonderful repairs have been carried out and you can just imagine the stories behind them.It is estimated that the Doll Hospital has treated over 2.5 million “patients” so far—that’s a lot of childhood memories revived!

　　1．The Doll Hospital gives visitors a sense of days gone by possibly because ________.

　　A．the buildings are of age-old appearance

　　B．the design of the doors suggests old times

　　C．they have already known the Hospital’s story

　　D．what they see reminds them of their childhood

　　2．Early in 1910s Harold’ brother________.

　　A．ran a General Store

　　B．shipped dolls from abroad

　　C．helped Harold repair dolls

　　D．ended his old business

　　3．Harold Jnr refers to the________of the Doll Hospital.

　　A．founder

　　B．second owner

　　C．third owner

　　D．present owner

　　4．Judging from the article，________during World War .

　　A．most people couldn’t afford new dolls

　　B．little children didn’t like new dolls

　　C．playing with dolls wasn’t allowed

　　D．new dolls were hardly available

　　5．What can you see in the “Before and After” photo album?

　　A．The three generations of the “doctors”．

　　B．The past and present of the Hospital.

　　C．The dolls before and after their repairs. D．All the 2.5 million dolls repaired.

　　.閱讀表達

　　(2024·江西師大附中、鷹潭一中高三年級聯考)

　　[1]For the people living in the Nile Basin，the river is their life.This 6,825 km river，whose watershed (分水嶺) covers

　　three

　　million

　　square

　　kilometers，flows

　　through mountains，woodlands，lakes and deserts.Its potential for fishing，tourism and shipping is great—but so are its challenges.[2]Water shortage，already serious in Egypt and Sudan，will soon influence several other countries in the watershed，too.Today，about 160 million people depend on the Nile River for their living.Within the next 25

　　years，the district’s population is expected to double，adding to the demand brought about by growth in industry and agriculture.The frequent drought adds to the urgency.

　　[3]Water quality is also a problem.Precious soil is washed out to sea.Wastes from industry and agriculture create pollution.Higher concentrations of salt influence irrigated soils.Waterborne diseases continue unchecked.In areas where it’s hot and damp，water hyacinths choke off lakes，dams and other sections of the river，making it difficult for fishing and other businesses to move forward.

　　[4]Native people along the narrow area of farmland have watched the sand move closer day by day.They’ve seen the river change course，and their only source of water thickened with mud.They’re very poor and have few choices.

　　[5]But a new program，the Nile Basin Initiative，is offering very practical assistance.The program is__________a water management project.It’s a plan for the social and economic development of a vast district as well：it concentrates on the needs of the poorest of the poor and the environment that supports them.

　　[6]These are whole ecosystem problems，calling for united solutions.Half the Nile Basin’s countries are among the world’s poorest nations；yet，somehow，they must find the resources，skills

　　and

　　political

　　will

　　to

　　overcome

　　these challenges.

　　1．What is the main idea of the second and third paragraphs？(no more than 10 words)

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　2．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words.(no more than 4 words)

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　3．How large will the population of the Nile River district be within the next 25 years？(no more than 5 words)

　　4．What do Nile Basin’s countries need to overcome the

　　challenges？(no more than 6 words)

　　答案：　D

　　3．解析：　句意為：當我們村周圍的群山變綠時，它們便成了很多野生動物的棲息地。根據句意可知，第一空后的mountains在本句中表示特指，故用定冠詞，排除C項；“be/become home to...”為固定搭配，相當于be/become the home of...，意為“……的棲息地”。

　　答案：　A

　　4．解析：　考查動詞短語辨析。句意為：母親經常告訴她的兒子要做一個好孩子，并警告他別惹麻煩。A項意為“躲開，置身于……之外”；B項意為“退縮，隱瞞”；C項意為“脫離(政黨，團體等)”，分離；D項意為“消除，去掉，清除”。根據語境可知，答案應選A。

　　答案：　C

　　6．解析：　考查動詞短語辨析。句意為：軍用直升機給困在偏僻山村里的地震生還者空投食物和藥品。根據用直升機空投可知，這些偏僻山區的交通與外界隔斷了，故選A，意為“切斷”。B.還清，得到回報；C.推遲，脫去；D.暫時解雇，下崗。

　　答案：　D

　　8．解析：　考查不定式作結果狀語。句意為：很不幸，我們迅速把摔倒的老人送到醫院，卻被告知要對老人(的摔倒)負責。根據句首的Unfortunately可知下文是壞結果，only＋不定式可作結果狀語，表示想不到的不好的結果。

　　答案：　D

　　答案：　B

　　10．解析：　考查虛擬語氣。句意為：我們因為大霧被困在機場，否則就能及時趕上這兒的會議了。otherwise否則，后接與過去事實相反的含蓄虛擬語氣，故用would/could/might have done結構，即D項正確。
