篇本文是一篇记叙文。主题语境是人与自我——设立目标。作者曾是一个不喜欢过生日的人，在朋友的建议下，她开始为自己每个重要的生日设立目标。24.A细节理解题。根据第一段的“Ifwemakeit,LouiseandIwillgetonaplanetoVancouverandcompeteinoneoftheBMOVancouverMarathonweekendraces.Wemaynotwinmedals,butforsurewe’llhavecakeformyseventy-fifthbirthdayatthefinishline.”可知，作者正在进行横穿加拿大距离的长跑活动，如果完成的话，她将和朋友一起去温哥华参加一项马拉松比赛以庆祝自己75岁的生日，故选A.25.B词义猜测题。从画线词所在的语境看，该词的含义应与前面的“lookingforwardto”相反，再结合上文的“Iusedtohatebirthdays,especiallythosemilestoneones.Nolongerfeelingyoungishorrible”可知，此处表示“盼望某件事（即生日的来临），而不是害怕它”，由此可推断画线词含义与B项接近。dread“畏惧，惧怕，担心”。故选B。26.B推理判断题。根据第三段的“IgotitintomyheadthatIshoulddoanOlympicdistancetriathlon(铁人三项赛),whichturnedouttobearealmilestone”“Sincethen,I’velookedonthespecialdaysasacallfortryingsomethingdifferent”可知，作者在60岁生日的时候参加了一项奥运铁人三项赛，这最终成为一个真正的里程碑，因为在比赛之后作者受到启发，开始把生日看作尝试做不同事情的召唤。由此推断，作者在这次比赛之后改变了对生日的态度。故选B。27.A细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Sodospendeverydayofeveryyearwithadefiniteendinview,whichwillreleaseyourenergyandmakeyouhappy”可知，作者建议要带着明确的目标度过每一天，这会释放你的能量，让你开心。故选A。C篇本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了四个行业中的职员在成为父母后所面临的压力。28.A观点态度题。根据第一段第二句中的“Now,anewstudybacksthatupwithsomeastonishingnumbers”可知，作者认为研究结果是令人惊讶的。故选A。29.D细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Theresultsarebasedonthecareerpathsof629menand212womenwhowerefull-timeSTEMworkersin2003andbecamefirst-timeparentsin2006,ascomparedwithmorethan3,000STEMworkerswithoutchildren.”可知，研究人员将全职STEM员工中第一次做父母与尚未有孩子的员工进行了对比，以得出研究结果。故选D。30.C推理判断题。根据第三段内容尤其是最后一句“Theseobviousdifferencesmakeclearthatmothersstillfaceparticularcareerchallenges.”可知，初为人母的女性职员中，有16%的女性做了兼职，15%的女性离职了，而男性仅有2%和3%。由此可知，从事STEM行业的女性员工在工作中需要面临更大的挑战。故选C。高三第八次模拟考试英语参考答案第2页共6页\n31.D推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“Butthatdoesn’tmeanthatparenthoodistherootcause;it’sthestrawthatbrokethecamel’sback.”可推知，原本还能忍受糟糕工作环境的人，为人父母后所面临的各种压力使其不再能够忍受糟糕的工作环境了。故选D。D篇本文是一篇说明文，主题语境是“环境与自然”。主要介绍的是植物采矿——从植物中提取矿物质，作为传统采矿的一种更好的、部分的替代品。32.C细节理解题。根据第三段的whatmakesthesehyperaccumulatorsspecialisthattheynaturallyattractandabsorbmineralsthroughtheirroots—metalspoisonoustootherplants—andthenstorehuge,pureconcentrationsofthesemineralsintheirbodies.可知，超积累植物之所以独特是因为它们可以通过根部吸收矿物质并将这些纯的矿物质储存在体内。故选C.33.B细节理解题。根据第五段中的ifphytominingisabletoreplacepartoftraditionalmining,thentherewouldbefewerinstancesofbadminingpracticeslikeabandonedmines可知，如果植物采矿可以替代部分传统的采矿模式，就不会有那么多废弃的矿井。故选B.34.C观点态度题。根据最后一段最后一句Afterall,weneedtomakesurethatourplanetcankeepupandsustainablepracticeslikephytomininggiveusthehopethatouradvancementdoesn’tmeansacrificingMotherEarth.可知，作者认为植物采矿这样的可持续发展的做法给了我们希望---我们的进步并不意味着要以牺牲环境为代价。由此可见，作者对植物采矿持有乐观的态度。故选C.35.A主旨大意之标题归纳题，本文开篇点题Plants:weeatthem,juicethem—andnowitseemswecanminethemtoo!然后进一步介绍了植物采矿的含义及其优缺点。故选A.第二节本文是一篇说明文，主题语境是“人与社会”。作者讲述了他喜欢去别的国家旅游以从当地的新鲜事物中接触不同的文化，货币就是其中之一，通过不同国家的货币可以了解他们的文化和历史。36.F上文提到“Thereareothertypesoffood,interestingpeople,newexperiences.”，下文讲述各个国家的货币，F项“Onemorethingtomentioninanewcountryisadifferentcurrency.”承上启下，符合题意。37.E根据空后的“Thiscanmaketravelbetweensuchcountriesmucheasierandmoreconvenient.”可知，空处是导致这个结果的原因。E项中提及“很多国家使用欧元或美元”，这正是给人们旅游带来便利的原因。38.G结合上文中的“IlikehavingdifferentkindsofmoneytouseandgetusedtothatwhileItravel.”以及下文作者去泰国和越南用当地的货币可知，作者认为通过使用不同的货币可以了解当地的文化，G项正是说明这一点。39.B结合上文提到的“theQueen’sheadisoneverybanknoteandeverycoin”和下文中“Thisisbecauseshe’salsoCanada’sHeadofState”可知，英国的货币上有女王的头像，同时英国女王也是加拿大的国家元首，所以空处表示加拿大的货币上也有女王头像，B项符合语境。40.A下一句提到丘吉尔(的头像)出现在了5英镑纸币上，作家简·奥斯汀(的头像)出现在了10英镑的纸币上，再结合第三段提到“如果你到过英国，你就知道女王的头像出现在所有的纸币和硬币上”可知，此处应表示英镑上出现了新的人物形象。第三部分英语知识运用（共三节，满分55分）第一节完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者父母结婚时，作者的父亲送给了作者的母亲一枚皇冠硬币来增加她的安全感，作者自己结婚时，丈夫也效仿了作者父亲的做法。当朋友遇到困境时，作者把这个故事讲给朋友，对其进行鼓励。文章旨在告诉我们世界是公平的，只要我们传递善举，回报也会随之到来。41.B考查动词辨析。A项意为“推断”；B项意为“意味着”；C项意为“建议，表明”；D项意为“预言”。根据下文中的“shealwaysfeltthatshewasprotected”可知，这意味着母亲会一直觉得自己被保护着。故选B。42.D考查动词辨析。A项意为“撤回，撤离”；B项意为“发送，派遣”；C项意为“生产”；D项高三第八次模拟考试英语参考答案第3页共6页\n意为“获得”。根据下文中的“Ihavealwayskeptitinmywallet”可知，作者的丈夫为她获得了一枚皇冠硬币。故选D。43.A考查动词辨析。A项意为“使……满足”；B项意为“实现，达到”；C项意为“传播”；D项意为“增加”。根据下文中的“needs”可知，此处指作者总是有足够的东西来满足自己的需求。故选A。44.C考查形容词辨析。A项意为“危险的”；B项意为“特别的”；C项意为“困难的”；D项意为“有争议的”。根据下文中的“givenherfood”和“shehasjustslippeddeeperintofinancialtrouble”可知，此处指作者的朋友近期陷入了困境。故选C。45.D考查名词辨析。A项意为“经历”；B项意为“评论”；C项意为“威胁”；D项意为“环境”。根据下文中的“partlythroughpoorplanning”及语境可知，此处指部分原因归咎于外在的环境。故选D。46.B考查动词辨析。A项意为“付费，偿还”；B项意为“借出”；C项意为“归还，退回”；D项意为“借入”。根据下文中的“evengivenherfood”可知，作者和朋友们借钱给她。故选B。47.C考查动词辨析。A项意为“带来”；B项意为“给，提供”；C项意为“教授”；D项意为“奖励，授予”。根据下文中的“budgettechniques”及语境可知，此处指作者和朋友们尝试教她预算技巧。故选C。48.A考查名词辨析。A项意为“解决办法”；B项意为“失败”；C项意为“答案”；D项意为“动机”。根据上文中的“butnonehasbeena”及下文中的“shehasjustslippeddeeperintofinancialtrouble”可知，朋友们借给她钱，给她食物，并尝试教她预算技巧，但没有一种方法能解决她的问题。故选A。49.D考查名词辨析。A项意为“混乱，杂乱”；B项意为“矛盾，对立”；C项意为“紧张局势”；D项意为“抑郁，消沉”。根据上文中的“shehasjustslippeddeeperintofinancialtrouble”可知，她陷入了更深的经济困境和消沉之中。故选D。50.B考查名词辨析。A项意为“变压器”；B项意为“提醒人的事物”；C项意为“开启工具”；D项意为“物主，主人”。根据下文中的“anotherperson’scareandlove”可知，此处指皇冠硬币是一个提醒她来自另一个人的关心和爱的物品。故选B。51.C考查动词辨析。A项意为“帮助”；B项意为“服务”；C项意为“保护”；D项意为“取悦”。根据上文中的“shealwaysfeltthatshewasprotected”可知，此处指这枚皇冠硬币曾经保护过作者。故选C。52.A考查名词辨析。A项意为“故事”；B项意为“恶作剧，技巧”；C项意为“秘密”；D项意为“结果”。根据语境可知，作者告诉了朋友这个关于皇冠硬币的故事。故选A。53.C考查动词短语辨析。A项意为“找出”；B项意为“出现，结果是”；C项意为“结果是，原来是”；D项意为“指出”。根据上文中的“askedh
