二、培优提升训练
Ⅰ．阅读理解
We Brits love the idea of a real Christmas tree—but not so many of us like the realities of dragging a 7ft. Norway spruce through the house and leaving needles all over the place.
If you count yourself among the reluctant group，then it may be time to go fake(假的)．After all，buying an artificial Christmas tree doesn’t mean accepting defeat. There’s a huge range of options and sizes，including prelit trees，which will save you the frustration of trying to string your own lights.
Another big bonus of choosing an artificial Christmas tree is cost：artificial trees can last for decades，so they work out cheaper than paying for a real tree every year. Like now retailers(零售商) are offering great deals at the moment；at Tesco，artificial Christmas trees are 25 percent off. Meanwhile，you can take advantage of the current 3 for 2 offer at Argos to fill your house with not one，not two，but three. You may perhaps partner up with friends who are also looking to invest.
Of course，keep your tree for years and years and it will start to pay you back in terms of carbon footprint；however，a “real” one will always have to be transported，used and dealt with every year.
Are there any downsides？Yes. You might think you’re saving the planet，but a fake tree is actually not an environmentally friendly option. Most are made in factories in Asia. They’re made from metal and plastic，and many end their lives in landfills.
Another problem with a fake tree is that it doesn’t look very natural—and of course you won’t get that lovely pine smell either. You’ll also need to find space for storage.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。讲述了选择假的圣诞树来装点节日氛围的优点及缺点。
1．What does the underlined word “reluctant” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？__C__
A．Passive. B．Related.
C．Unwilling. D．Supportive.
解析：词义猜测题。根据上文中的“but not so many of us like the realities of dragging a 7ft. Norway spruce through the house and leaving needles all over the place”可知，如果你不乐意拽着7英尺的欧洲云杉进屋，你可以选择一棵假树。由此可猜测，reluctant的意思是“不乐意的”。故选C。
2．Which is the benefit of buying an artificial Christmas tree？__A__
A．Abundant choices. B．The lovely pine smell.
C．Cheaper than a real one. D．Free for transportation.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“There’s a huge range of options and sizes，including prelit trees，which will save you the frustration of trying to string your own lights. ”可知，在挑选假的圣诞树方面，人们有很多的选择。故选A。
3．What can we learn from the passage？__C__
A．Fake Christmas trees are environmentally friendly.
B．British people like to drag a real Christmas tree home.
C．People need to find space to store a fake Christmas tree.
D．People may get three more if they buy two fake Christmas trees.
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“You’ll also need to find space for storage. ”可知，你需要空间来储藏假树。故选C。
4．What is the passage mainly about？__D__
A．Different reasons for choosing fake Christmas trees.
B．Valuable suggestions on choosing fake Christmas trees.
C．Efficient ways of saving money on choosing Christmas trees.
D．Advantages and disadvantages of choosing fake Christmas trees.
解析：主旨大意题。根据第三段首句“Another big bonus of… ”及第五段首句“Are there any downsides？”和第六段首句“Another problem… ”可知，本文主要讲述了选择假树作为圣诞树的优缺点。故选D。
Ⅱ．七选五
根据短文内容，从短文后的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。
Can you remember what you ate yesterday If asked，most people will be able to give a vague description of their main meals: breakfast，lunch，dinner. But can you be sure you’ve noted every snack bar in your car，or every handful of nuts at your desk？__1. C__
We originally had this suspicion back in 2016，puzzled by the fact that national statistics showed calorie consumption falling dramatically over past decades. Now，the Office for National Statistics has confirmed that people are considerably under-reporting what they ate by 50%.
__2. A__ We can point to at least three potential causes. One is the rise in obesity levels itself. Under-reporting rates are much higher for obese people，because they simply consume more food，and thus have more to remember.
Another cause is that the proportion of people who are trying to slim down has been increasing over time. __3. G__ It may be driven partly by self-deception or “wishful thinking”．
__4. E__ Both are in terms of how often they happen and how much they contribute to our overall energy intake. Again，there is evidence that food consumed out of the home is one of the most poorly recorded categories in surveys.
So，what’s the message conveyed If people do not know how much they are eating，it can be really hard for them to stick to a diet. __5. D__ Therefore，we can ensure what people eat won’t have much impact on their waistlines. If this works，it won’t matter if they can’t remember what they ate yesterday.
A．Why is this happening
B．What will come about next
C．Most people will feel that they’ve missed something out.
D．We should be looking for new ways to handle this problem.
E．The final one is an increase in snacking and eating out recently.
F．People are consuming more calories than the national statistics claim.
G．Those who want to lose weight are more likely to underreport their eating.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人们会通常不记得自己昨天吃过什么这一现象及其背后的原因。
解析：
1．上文“But can you be sure you’ve noted every snack bar in your car，or every handful of nuts at your desk？”(但是你能确定你已经记下了你车里的每一家小吃店，或者你桌上的每一把坚果吗？)说明人们一般不确定自己具体吃了什么，C项“大多数人会觉得他们漏掉了什么。”进一步说明人们不确定自己吃过的食物，符合题意。故选C。
2．下文“We can point to at least three potential causes. ”(我们可以指出至少三个潜在的原因。)说明要指出至少三个潜在的原因，A项“为什么会这样？”提问原因，符合题意。故选A。
3．根据上文“Another cause is that the proportion of people who are trying to slim down has been increasing over time. ”(另一个原因是，随着时间的推移，试图减肥的人的比例一直在增加。)以及下文“It may be driven partly by self-deception or ’wishful thinking’”．(它可能部分是由自我欺骗或“一厢情愿的想法”驱动的。)说明人们减肥失败的原因，G项“那些想减肥的人更可能低估自己的饮食。”与下文构成因果关系，符合题意。故选G。
4．下文“Both are in terms of how often they happen and how much they contribute to our overall energy intake. ”(这两种情况都取决于它们发生的频率以及它们对我们整体能量摄入的贡献。)说明空处应介绍两种情况，E项中snacking and eating out是关键词，说明零食和外出就餐这两种情况，E项“最后一个问题是最近零食和外出就餐的增加。”符合题意。故选E。
5．上文“If people do not know how much they are eating，it can be really hard for them to stick to a diet. ”(如果人们不知道自己吃了多少，那么他们很难坚持节食。)说明人们很难坚持节食的原因，空处应说明寻找解决问题的方法，D项“我们应该寻找处理这个问题的新方法。”符合题意。故选D。
Ⅲ．语法填空
阅读短文内容，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
When in the third grade，I was chosen to be the princess in the school play. For weeks I practiced my lines，__1. but__ once on the stage，I forgot the words. Then my teacher asked me to act as a supporting role in the play. I didn’t tell my mother __2. what__ had happened that day，but she noticed my unhappiness and asked me to take a walk in the garden.
It was a small but pretty lovely garden，inside __3. which__ were varieties of beautiful flowers. “I’ll have all these wild flowers __4. removed__(remove) so that we’ll only have roses in this garden，” said my mother.
“But I like these wild flowers，” I protested. “They are not less beautiful in my eyes __5. than__ roses！”
My mother looked at me __6. seriously__ (serious) and said，“Yes，every flower gives pleasure in its own way. And that is true of people，too. ”
When I realized that she __7. had figured__(figure) out my pain，I told her the truth. “You’ll be a wonderful supporting role，baby，” my mother said，__8. patting__ (pat) me gently on the shoulder.
Thanks to my mother’s __9. encouragement__(encourage)，I got to know everybody had his or her own value in the world. I felt proud __10. of__ the supporting role in the play.
文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。作者失去了在学校戏剧里面扮演公主的机会，只能在剧中饰演配角。她妈妈带她来到花园，通过花园里的野花让她认识到世界上的每一个事物都有其存在的价值。
解析：
1．考查连词。前后两句之间意义上存在转折关系。故填but。
2．考查名词性从句。what had happened是宾语从句，其中what在从句中作主语。故填what。
3．考查定语从句。inside which were varieties of beautiful flowers是“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句，修饰先行词garden。故填which。
4．考查非谓语动词。have all these wild flowers removed是have sth. done结构，表示“请人或让人做某事”。故填removed。
5．考查比较级。由句中的less beautiful可知，该句使用了比较级结构。故填than。
6．考查副词。空格中所填单词在句中修饰谓语动词looked at，故用serious的副词形式。故填seriously。
7．考查动词的时态。从句谓语动词动作figure out发生在主句谓语动词动作realize之前，即表示“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。故填had figured。
8．考查非谓语动词。patting me gently on the shoulder是现在分词短语作状语，表示伴随情况，逻辑主语my mother与分词动作pat之间是逻辑上的主动关系。故填patting。
9．考查名词。空格中所填单词在句中作Thanks to的宾语，用encourage的名词形式。故填encouragement。
10．考查介词。根据be/feel proud of这一固定表达可知。故填of。(共132张PPT)
UNIT 1 FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS
单元核心素养
What’s your favourite season What festivals happen during your favourite season
Autumn
Every year in September or October, the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated by the Chinese people all over the world. On this day, the moon is said to be its biggest and brightest. People like to meet in the evening and watch the moon.
单元话题导读
The Mid-Autumn Festival is important because it is a special occasion for family. It is also a day for special foods like mooncakes. There are many different kinds of mooncakes including fruit, coffee, chocolate and even ice-cream mooncakes.
Winter
The Lantern Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. In the past, lanterns were usually lit by candles and decorated with pictures of birds, animals and flowers, etc. Nowadays, most lanterns are made with light bulbs and batteries, and they come in many shapes and sizes. In the north-eastern part of China, there are even ice-lanterns. The special food is the sweet dumpling which is boiled and served in hot water.
Summer
The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar year. As it is in early summer, it marks the beginning of the hottest season of the year. The tradition of the Dragon Boat Festival started more than 2, 000 years ago. In the old days, dragon boat races were organised only by Chinese people. However, in recent years, people from other cultures have also taken part in the races and enjoyed the fun. There is a special food for the festival. It is called zongzi, which is sticky rice in fresh bamboo leaves.

然而，无论它们看起来多么不同，在这个世界上，分享快乐、感恩、爱或和平的精神是所有节日共有的。
(1)句式分析：这是一个主从复合句。no matter how different they may seem是让步状语从句；the spirit of sharing joy，gratitude，love，or peace is common in all festivals是主句，是主系表结构。
(2)句首的however是副词，意为“但是；不过；然而”。however作此用法时，可置于句首、句中或句末，但必须与句子的其他成分用逗号分隔开来。
(3)句中no matter how引导让步状语从句，表示“无论如何”“不管怎样”，可替换为however。

(1)whenever，wherever，however引导让步状语从句，相当于no matter when/where/how。
(2)whatever，whoever，whichever，whomever既可引导名词性从句，也可引导让步状语从句，在引导让步状语从句时相当于no matter what/who/which/whom。
(3)“no matter＋疑问词”只能引导让步状语从句，可放在主句前或主句后。

European
Customs play a significant role in festivals, but they can change over time. Take the Chinese Spring Festival as 6._______ example. Many Chinese big cities no longer allow firecrackers 7.____________(avoid) air pollution. These days, festivals are becoming more and more commercial with businesses 8.__________(take) advantage of the celebrations. Festivals reflect people’s wishes, beliefs, faiths and 9.______________(attitude) towards life. They are occasions 10.______________ allow people to spend time with families and relax and enjoy life.
an
to avoid
aking
attitudes
that/which
解析：
1．考查介词。a variety of… “各种各样的”，为固定用法。故填of。
2．考查疑问词。根据语境可知，此处为“no matter＋疑问词”引导的让步状语从句，因空后为形容词。故填how。
3．考查动词的时态和语态。此处陈述的是客观事实，故应用一般现在时；主语是The harvest festival，为单数，且与celebrate之间为动宾关系，故应用被动语态。故填is celebrated。
4．考查代词。由语境可知，空处指代上文的The harvest festival，为单数，为避免上下文重复。故填it。
5．考查形容词。句中countries为名词，应用形容词修饰，故应用Europe的形容词形式European。故填European。
6．考查冠词。短语take… as an example意为“以……为例”。故填an。
7．考查非谓语动词。此处表示为避免空气污染，中国很多大城市不再允许燃放鞭炮。空处在句中作目的状语，应用不定式。故填to avoid。
8．考查非谓语动词。此处是“with＋宾语＋宾补”结构，由于作宾语的businesses与take之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词形式。故填taking。
9．考查名词的数。句意：节日反映了人们的愿望、信仰、宗教和对生活的态度。attitude作“态度，看法”讲时，为可数名词，在此处与wishes，beliefs和faiths并列，应用attitude的复数形式。故填attitudes。
10．考查定语从句。这是一个含有定语从句的复合句。定语从句修饰的先行词为occasions，空处在定语从句中作主语，故填关系代词that或which。
Ⅳ．结合课文主题，使用本单元词汇与句型写一篇50词左右的短文
1．春节前妈妈总为我买新衣服。在新年那一天我就可以穿上盛装(dress up)了。我非常感激(grateful)我的妈妈。
2．另外，我们总会买各种各样的(a wide range of)水果和蔬菜。
3．每年除夕一家人聚在一起(gather)看春节联欢晚会，期待看到一些著名的人物(figure)。
4．尽管(in spite of)社会在变化，但是我们会利用(take advantage of)这个有重大意义的(significant)节日。
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考范文：
Before the Spring Festival, my mother always buys me some new clothes so that I’ll dress up on the New Year’s Day. I am grateful to my mother. Besides, we always buy a wide range of fruit and vegetables.
Every New Year’s Eve my whole family gather round watching the Spring Festival Gala and expecting to see some famous figures. In spite of the changes of society, we’ll take advantage of this significant festival.
