北京高考真题及模拟题七选五汇编(一).pdf
七选五分类汇编共30套练习一、高考真题集锦2019北京高考根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Much of the work in todays world is accomplished(完成)in teams.Most people believe thebest way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals.46Companies spend millions hiring top business people.Is their money well spent?47 They focused on football,basketball and baseball.The results are mixed.Forfootball and basketball,adding talented players to a team proves a good method,but only up tothe point where 70%of the players are top talent;above that level,the teams performancebegins to decline.Interestingly,this trend isnt evident in baseball,where additional individualtalent keeps improving the teams performance.To explain this phenomenon,the researchers explored the degree to which a goodperformance by a team requires its members to coordinate(协调)their actions.48In baseball,the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates.They concludethat when task interdependence is high,team performance will suffer when there is too muchtalent,while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when taskinterdependence is lower.If a basketball star is,for example,trying to gain a high personal pointtotal,he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate,affectingthe teams performance.Young children learning to play team sports are often told,“There is noI in TEAM.n 49Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team,some players may makeless effort.Just as in a game of tug-of-war(拔河比赛),whenever a person is added,everyone elsepulls the rope with less force.50.An A-team may require a balancenot just A players,but a few generous Bplayers as well.A.Its not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.B.Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talentC.The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers attention.D.Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.E.Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.F.Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.G.This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.2018北京高考真题Why Do We Get Angry?Anger seems simple when we are feeling it,but the causes of anger are various.Knowing these causes canmake us examine our behavior,and correct bad habits.T he main reasons we get angry are triggering(触发)events,personality traits(特征),and our assessment of s itu a tio n

pain,and muchm o r e.2 T he reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to onespersonal history and psychological traits.Each person,no matter who they are,has psychological imbalances.People who have personality traits thatconnect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get a n g r y.3 Also,sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition,but rather a temporary state before a triggeringevent has occurred.4 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger,or anger itself.Sometimesignorance and negative(7肖极的)outlooks on situations can create anger.5_However,anger can easily tum violent,and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear inorder to prevent its presence.With these main

that sleep helps us strengthen new memories.2 We know that,while awake,freshmemories are recorded by reinforcing(力 口 强)connections between brain cells,but the memory processes that takeplace while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元)in the braincan be weakened overnight,making room for fresh memories to form the next day.3Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right.4 T he synapses in the mice taken at the end of aperiod of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep,showing that the connections betweenneurons weaken while sleeping.If T ononis theory is right,it would explain why,when we miss a nights,we find it harder the next day toconcentrate and learn new information our brains may have smaller room fbr new experiences.T heir research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses becomethinner.T he team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size.5 Youkeep what matters,M T ononi says.A.We should also try to sleep well the night before.B.Its as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C.Similarly,when people go for a few days without sleeping,they get sick.D.T he processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.E.T hats why students do better in tests

the brains of 12 mice.2016北京高考真题T he Science of Risk-SeekingSometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and thereward,the risk seems worth taking.Some of us enjoy activities that would suiprise and scare the rest ofus.Why?Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.T he reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans.Risk-takers were better athunting,fighting,or exploring.2 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next,humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a

types.As a result,humansdeveloped a range of character types that still exists today.So maybe you love car racing,or maybe you hate it.3No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range,scientists say that your willingness to take risks increasesduring your teenage years.4 T o help you do that,your brain increases your hunger for new experiences.New experiences often mean taking some risks,so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.Mean taking some risks,so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.5 For the risk-seekers,a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes

2018各区模拟11套2018海淀一模Radar is an electronic device that detects planes,ships,coastlines,landmarks,and even storm clouds.T hename radar comes from the first letters of the words radio direction and ranging.As the human eye uses lightwaves to see,radar sees with radio waves.Without radar,planes could not land safely in bad weather and shipscould not move safely in thick fog.In the 1800s it was discovered that radio waves could be reflected from objects.But scientists did not makegreat advances in radar research until the 1930s,when the world was threatened by war.2 It has beenused widely in almost every conflict since then.Echoes make it possible for radar to work.When a beam of radio waves is sent out,it strikes on an object andreturns an echo.T his echo is picked up by radar and recorded on a screen similar to television screen.On thescreen an observer sees a flash,or a blip,that shows the direction and distance of the object.3Airport control towers use radar to guide planes in for safe landings.Almost all large ships depend on radarto prevent collisions with icebergs or other ships.4 Weather forecasters see the size,direction,andspeed of storms on radar screens.Astronomers can even use radar to measure accurately the distance to the moon.T hus,the device has generated major advancements.5Huge radar antennas have been installed all over the United States.T hey guard us againstpossible enemy attacks.We have ballistic missiles(战略导弹)warning systems that can alert us to attacks whenmissiles are more than 1,000 miles away.Other radar systems warn us against enemy aircraft and even spyingspace satellites.A.Police track speeders in radar-equipped cars.B.T hese measurements are now highly accurate.C.T he device can be used in a wide range of fields.D.It is therefore especially valuable to shippers and travelers.E.During World War II many countries used radar effectively.F.T oday radar is used by commercial airliners and weather forecasters.G.Strengthening national defense is one of radar 5s most important functions.2018丰台一模People Are PeopleGlobalization has brought different cultures together in a way unimaginable one hundred years ago.T oday,Chinese,Indians,Arabs,Africans,Anglos,and Hispanics may all work in the same offices,attend the same schoolsor live in the same neighborhoods.And our society has lately
