高考题型组合练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A(2024·山东德州模拟)
In early August,Hilary Krieger,now 44,was sitting in her parents’ Boston home when
her friend accidentally squirted(喷射) himself with an orange slice.She said,“Oh,the orange
just orbisculated.” And he said,“It did what?” The two made a five-dollar bet,and Hilary
gladly grabbed the family dictionary but found the word “orbisculate” was not in it! Hilary burst
into her dad’s study and told him the shocking news.Looking awkward,her father admitted that
he had made up the word “orbisculate” as the action that happens “when you dig your spoon
into a grapefruit and it squirts juice directly into your eye”.
At first,Hilary was mad.But she quickly came to see her dad’s made-up word as a gift.It
speaks to his creativity and the idea that,even when something is painful and annoying,like
getting grapefruit juice in your eye,you can laugh and have fun with it.
Hilary’s father Neil Krieger died in April 2020,at age 78.Since the Kriegers couldn’t have
a proper funeral,Hilary who now lives in New York,spent a lot of time on the phone talking
with friends and family,and the “orbisculate” story kept coming up.
“I began to think ‘orbisculate’ is such a great word; it should be in the dictionary!”
says Hilary.She called her younger brother Jonathan,who lives in Boston and runs an online
company.Their goal is to put the word to use publicly enough that it has a chance of becoming
acceptable.Encouraging people to use “orbisculate” in a wide variety of contexts will leave a
compelling(令人信服的) trail of evidence for lexicographers(词典编纂者) to follow.
It has been more than two years since Neil’s death and his children are still struggling from
the loss.But their campaign to get their father’s word into the dictionary has helped them win
back a little of the joy that has been missing from their lives.“I could picture him being really
excited,” Jonathan says.“And not until that day did I know my father had created many
‘words’ that we wouldn’t see in the dictionary.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲的是Hilary Krieger的爸爸创造了orbisculate这个
词,她认为这显示了爸爸的创新精神,她努力想让这个词被收录进词典。
1.What made Hilary find “orbisculate” doesn’t exist?
A.A piece of shocking news.
B.The latest dictionary.
C.Her father’s strange reaction.
D.An accident between her friend and her.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段讲述的故事可知,她和朋友之间发生的意外事件让Hilary发
现“orbisculate”不存在,故选D。
2.Which of the following can best describe Hilary’s father?A.Strict and stubborn.
B.Optimistic and creative.
C.Flexible and reliable.
D.Determined and hard-working.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段的“It speaks to his creativity and the idea that,even when
something is painful and annoying,like getting grapefruit juice in your eye,you can laugh and
have fun with it.”可知,Hilary的父亲是乐观的、有创造力的,故选B。
3.When did Hilary decide to get the word “orbisculate” into the dictionary?
A.After her father’s death.
B.When her father told her the truth.
C.After her brother’s request.
D.After she put the word to use publicly.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Hilary’s father Neil Krieger died in April 2020”和第四
段的“I began to think ‘orbisculate’ is such a great word; it should be in the dictionary!”可
知,Hilary在她父亲去世后,下定决心要把“orbisculate”这个词收录进词典,故选A。
4.What will probably be talked about in the following part?
A.Hilary encourages people to make up more new words.
B.The introduction to other words created by Hilary’s father.
C.The reply that the official gave Hilary and her brother.
D.Hilary and her brother will continue to fight for their demand.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段末句“And not until that day did I know my father had
created many ‘words’ that we wouldn’t see in the dictionary.”可知,接下来的部分可能会
介绍Hilary的父亲创造的其他词汇,故选B。

The ruins of a huge Maya city have been discovered in Guatemala with the help of the remote
sensing technique LiDAR,according to the National Geographic on Thursday.
This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors,which can survey landscapes in
3D by reflecting laser pulses off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others.LiDAR is
exceptionally useful for detecting archeological sites(考古遗址),as it gets through jungles and
other features that hold up exploration on the ground.The technique has been the activator(催化剂)
of many discoveries in recent years.For instance , major finds at Angkor , Cambodia and
Caracol,Belize can explain what it did.
This large lost city envelops sites like Tikal ,Holmul,and Witzna—known for theirpyramids—but shows that these famous heritage areas are the tip of the iceberg of this lost urban
network.
Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve,more than 60,000 human-made
features—homes,canals,highways,some of which can even reach the modernized standard—
have been identified by an international cooperation of researchers headed by the PACUNAM
Foundation,a Maya cultural and natural heritage organization.Those have experts rethinking the
outlines and complexity of the Maya empire.
These ancient peoples obviously established these imaginative cultures based on their known
relics,but the new research has shown that the scale of this lost society is far beyond what experts
had imagined.The findings will be explored in an hour-long documentary called Lost Treasures of
the Maya Snake Kings,premiering(首映) Tuesday,February 6 on the National Geographic
Channel.
“There are entire cities we didn’t know about now showing up in the survey data,” said
Francisco Belli,one of the lead archeologists on the project.“There are 20,000 square kilometres
more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities there that we don’t know about,
and we will push the frontiers,” he added.
语篇解读 这是一篇新闻报道,主要讲述了考古学家们利用 LiDAR技术,在危地马拉发现
了一处巨大的玛雅城市遗址。
5.What can we know about LiDAR?

ChatGPT is an advanced AI chatbot trained by OpenAI which interacts in a conversational
way.The dialogue form makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer follow-up questions,admit its
mistakes,challenge incorrect premises,and reject improper requests.
It has reached 100 million users just two months after launching , according to
analysts.ChatGPT has taken the world by storm since it launched.The AI chatbot answers questions
online in text format in a human-like way,and it can also write its responses in different styles,
for example,that of a student writing an essay.
GPT technology can help people write code quickly and accurately with the help of natural
language.GPT can take a text prompt and generate code that is tailored to the given task.This
technology has the potential to cut down development time,as it can generate code quickly and
accurately.It can also help reduce the risk of errors,as GPT is capable of generating code that can
be tested and used immediately.Some teachers are worried about how many of their pupils are using it to do their homework
and have written to parents warning them about it.Others say they can spot its essay,and there are
now tools being released which claim to be able to differentiate(区别) human text from that written
by artificial intelligence.
But the cat is out of the bag,and now the International Baccalaureate(国际文凭项目),or IB
for short,says its students can take advantage of the tech,just like using a calculator to work out
a maths problem,as long as they admit to it by both crediting ChatGPT in the text and adding a
reference note at the end.
It’s good news for students , but ChatGPT’s knowledge database only goes up to
September 2021,so it’s not very useful on topical subjects,and as it gets its information from
the Internet,it can also be inaccurate.

Sustainability for kids can start with a seed.We put together some ways to involve the whole
family in protecting the environment.
Go on a hike.Parental involvement in early childhood education looks different in various
settings from preschool to home and to the grocery store. 1 Going on a hike together can be an
ideal thing to investigate a local ecosystem,look for signs of the changing season,and gain an
overall appreciation of the world outdoors.Plus,by bringing an extra garbage bag and gloves to
pick up trash along the way,parents can show kids some educational activities.
Go green for holidays.Make holidays fun while also supporting a green environment for
kids.Use LED lights for decorative lighting. 2 Decrease your carbon footprint and purchase
holiday gifts from local shops.

the grocery store.All they need is sunlight,water and dirt.A windowsill is the perfect spot to grow
herbs.A back deck can grow beautiful tomatoes.Plant peach seeds in a small container. 4

education at the same time. 5 Then work with them to make something new out of the recycled
