How to Study English in Senior High School
Listening，speaking，reading and writing are important for our senior high school students in our English learning．
Watching English videos and following them every day is a good way to improve our listening and speaking skills．What's more，we are expected to read English novels．Not only can it strengthen our ability of reading comprehension，but also it can broaden our horizons．Finally，it is strongly recommended to write English diaries．After all，practice makes perfect．
Rome is not built in one day．The more you use English，the better your English will be．
[片段1]
Jane went directly towards Amy，saying “You've got my book．” Amy said nothing，but color flooded her face．Jane cried，taking Amy by her shoulders．Amy shouted，“I have burnt it up．” Jane turned very pale，while her eyes filled with anger．Her hot temper mastered her．She shook Amy crazily，crying in a passion of grief and anger．
简径直走向艾米，说：“你拿了我的书。”艾米什么也没说，但她的脸红了。简叫了起来，抓住艾米的肩膀。艾米喊道：“我把它烧了。”简的脸色变得非常苍白，眼里充满了愤怒。 她的火暴脾气控制了她。她疯狂地摇晃着艾米，又伤心又愤怒地哭着。
[片段2]
My heart stopped．It just stopped beating．And for the first time in my life，I had that feeling．You know，like the world is moving all around you，all inside you，and you're floating．And the only thing keeping you from drifting away is the other person's eyes．

单元综合检测(二)
第一部分 阅读
第一节
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Mother Nature is a cruel mistress．Why Read on to find the answer．
Venice
This iconic city is sinking rapidly．The canals that make up the streets of Venice rise 2mm every year，making relics of history go under the surface of water and destroying architecture．Experts warn that without intervention(干预)，this city will disappear back into the water at an even faster rate，consumed by rising sea level from melting polar ice caps．
Machu Picchu
These iconic ruins have drawn adventurous tourists into the mountains of South America．The forces of natural erosion(侵蚀) have been accelerated by tourism and this landmark faces severe influence from increasing foot traffic．The Peruvian government recently suggested a cable car that would cut out the intense hike up to the ruins，making the site instantly accessible to millions，but the future of Machu Picchu remains uncertain．
Glacier National Park
Perhaps you've heard that the ice caps are melting．But nowhere is more apparent in the United States than in Glacier National Park．Estimates indicate that the glaciers that are part of the beauty of this national landmark will disappear entirely in the next two decades．
The Great Barrier Reef
Hidden from view beneath the waves，the Great Barrier Reef has been rapidly dying off．Nearly fifty percent of the coral which once occupied a large area is gone，destroyed by pollution and disease．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了濒临消失的四个著名景点。
1．What can we learn about Machu Picchu
A．It's famous for cable cars．
B．It has no convenient traffic．
C．It's well preserved by the locals．
D．It bears a heavy burden of tourism．
D [细节理解题。根据Machu Picchu部分的“The forces of natural erosion have been accelerated by tourism and this landmark faces severe influence from increasing foot traffic．”可知，因为巨大的旅游负担，马丘比丘遗址受到了人类步行参观时所带来的毁灭性影响。D项“It bears a heavy burden of tourism．”符合语境。故选D项。]
2．Which place probably needs visitors to dive into the water to enjoy its beauty
A．Venice．
B．Machu Picchu．
C．Glacier National Park．
D．The Great Barrier Reef．
D [推理判断题。根据The Great Barrier Reef部分的“Hidden from view beneath the waves，the Great Barrier Reef has been rapidly dying off．”可推测，游客需要潜入海中才能领略大堡礁的美。故选D项。]
3．What do the above attractions have in common
A．They all have a long history．
B．They're all threatened by climate．
C．They're all in danger of disappearing．
D．They're all well-known for natural scenery．
C [细节理解题。根据Venice部分的“This iconic city is sinking rapidly．”和“this city will disappear back into the water at an even faster rate”可知，威尼斯正在迅速下沉，将以很快的速度被海水淹没；根据Machu Picchu部分的“The forces of natural erosion have been accelerated by tourism and this landmark faces severe influence from increasing foot traffic...the future of Machu Picchu remains uncertain．”可知，过重的旅游负担正在加速马丘比丘的自然侵蚀；根据Glacier National Park部分的“Perhaps you've heard that the ice caps are melting．”可知，冰川国家公园正在融化；根据The Great Barrier Reef部分的“Hidden from view beneath the waves，the Great Barrier Reef has been rapidly dying off．”可知，大堡礁正在迅速消亡。即文章提到的四个景点所面临的共同问题是，它们都有消失的危险。C项“They're all in danger of disappearing．”符合以上说法。故选C项。]
B
Having moved to a new city，I was looking for things to do in my spare time．I intended to meet new people，for I am a social person．Hearing that the Business Confucius Institute(BCI) was offering Chinese evening classes on the university campus，I was determined to sign up for Level 1 class．
This initial(最初的) decision was made on a whim．I had no grand career goals or plans to travel to China in the near future．Learning a new language was the fact that it was not something I had done before．My mother is from Spain and I was raised with two languages，but there is a huge difference between acquiring a language in childhood and learning one in adulthood．I expected to find out how I would get along with Chinese．
In each class my Chinese teacher would teach us what seemed like thousands of new words and expressions，and then get us to act them out in role plays reproducing basic Chinese introductions and conversations．After each lesson I felt as though my brain had been placed in a deep oil pot for a long time．But then，I began to realize that the more my brain ached right after class，the more information I had taken in．I found that Chinese words and expressions we had covered would rush unexpectedly into my head at any moment，such as when I was in the shower or driving to work．I have now completed the Business Confucius Level 3 class and am able to hold basic conversations with Chinese people on a variety of topics．
This experience helped me a lot．Recently I landed a new job at the University of Leeds' School of Law，providing job opportunities for Chinese students．Learning Chinese will help me in my career，further fueling my motivation to continue my studies．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者学习中文的经历。
4．What was the writer's purpose of signing up for the Chinese class
A．To make new friends．
B．To show off his ability．
C．To adapt to the city life．
D．To get working experience．
A [细节理解题。根据文章第一段前两句可知，作者加入中文课堂是为了结识朋友。故选A项。]
5．What does the underlined word “whim” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Deep love． B．Careful thought．
C．Sudden wish． D．Strange dream．
C [词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中画线词后两句可知，作者最初学中文的决定是一时的念头，只是为了尝试学一门新语言。由此可知，画线词意为“突然的想法”。故选C项。]
6．What can be known about the writer from paragraph 3
A．He was an expert in spelling words．
B．He enjoyed the Chinese classes a lot．
C．He was troubled by those Chinese words．
D．He made great progress in learning Chinese．
D [推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“I have now completed the Business Confucius Level 3 class and am able to hold basic conversations with Chinese people on a variety of topics．”可知，作者在中文学习上取得了很大的进步。故选D项。]
7．What does the writer think of the experience of learning Chinese in the end
A．Unusual． B．Beneficial．
C．Funny． D．Stressful．
B [推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“This experience helped me a lot．”以及“Learning Chinese will help me in my career，further fueling my motivation to continue my studies．”可知，作者认为他学中文的经历对他来说有很大的帮助。故选B项。]
C
For many English learners，learning to write fluently in English is much more challenging than learning to speak fluently．Even for advanced level learners，written communications can come much more slowly in English than spoken communications．
Writing in English needs to follow rules of grammar much more closely than in spoken English．For example，if someone says ‘Please borrow me your pen’ in conversation，it's clear from the context that the speaker intended to say ‘Please lend me your pen’．In written communication，words are even more important because they lack visual context．Especially if you are working in a business setting，making mistakes can cause miscommunication which might lead to problems．In conversation，you can smile and make a good impression．With writing，all you have are your words．
Imagine if you're at a party．You might have a conversation with someone and only understand a few words．However，because you're in the context of a party，you can make all the mistakes you might make．It doesn't matter．Everyone is having fun．When it comes to writing，there's not so much room for error．
Spoken English is much more spontaneous (自发的) than written English．It's looser and mistakes don't necessarily impact your ability to communicate clearly．In writing，it's important to think about how to write to the intended audience．You need to understand who will be reading your writing．It takes time to figure these things out．
We expect more of what we read．We expect it to be true，entertaining or informative．When there's an expectation，there's pressure to perform well．With speaking，with the possible exception of giving a presentation，there's not nearly so much pressure—unless you're closing a business deal．
It is important when teaching written English skills—especially for business English—to be aware of the challenges that learners will face when learning to function in a written English environment．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章从几个方面解释了为什么英语写作比口语更难这一现象。
8．According to the second paragraph，why are words more important in written communication
A．Because writers can only rely on words．
B．Because grammar only applies to writing．
C．Because written words are more expressive．
D．Because written English involves visual context．
A [推理判断题。根据第二段第三句“In written communication，words are even more important because they lack visual context．”以及第二段最后一句“With writing，all you have are your words．”可知，写作时，文字是唯一能依赖的东西。故选A项。]
9．In which of the following situations is a person expected to have the most pressure
A．When taking part in parties．
B．When giving a presentation．
C．When having a talk with friends．
D．When hanging out with business partners．
B [推理判断题。根据第五段中的“When there's an expectation，there's pressure to perform well．With speaking，with the possible exception of giving a presentation，there's not nearly so much pressure—unless you're closing a business deal．”可知，作者认为除了完成商业交易，做演讲压力最大。故选B项。]
10．What will the author probably continue to write after the last paragraph
A．Tips on how to teach English writing skills．
B．Functions of writing skills in business English．
C．Difference between spoken and written English．
D．Challenges people will meet in making business．
A [推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，文章最后引出教授书面英语技能中面临的挑战，由此可推测后文会具体解释是哪些挑战，以及如何应对这些挑战的建议。故选A项。]
11．What can be the best title for the text
A．Why Is It Easy to Speak Fluently
B．What Contributes to a Good Writing
C．How Can a Person Improve His Writing
D．Why Is Writing More Difficult than Speaking
D [标题归纳题。根据第一段可知，本文最开始就提出观点：英语写作比口语更具挑战性，下文旨在解释这一现象存在的原因，如第二段第一句“Writing in English needs to follow rules of grammar much more closely than in spoken English．”指出其中的一个原因：写作需要更严格地遵守语法规则。所以“为什么写作比口语难”最适合作本文的标题。故选D项。]
D
Do you know that every fourteen days one of the world's 7，000 languages dies out Throughout human history，languages have died out because of natural disasters，war or genocide (种族灭绝)，but nowadays the major factor is globalization．This is happening all over the world．In the Amazon rainforest，for example，native people are learning Portuguese to move to the big cities in Brazil to find work．In South Africa，young people are choosing to use English instead of traditional languages to study in higher education．
About 60% of the world's population speak one of the twenty most common languages，and the number of speakers of world languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese is increasing rapidly．Would we really miss most small languages if they died out completely The answer has got to be “yes”！
When a language disappears，we lose the culture and history of a people．We also lose the knowledge of the people who speak the language．In a famous case in northern Australia，doctors couldn't find a cure(疗法) for a skin problem that the local people developed．When they asked a native woman，she used her own language to describe a plant which could cure the disease．There are many other examples of why disappearing languages are important．Speakers of the Kallawaya language of Bolivia have got a wide vocabulary of medicinal plants in their part of the rainforest which doctors in the modern world have never heard of，and speakers of the Yupik language of Alaska have got ninety-nine words for ice，which shows that they've got a unique understanding of their world．Our planet would lose that understanding if these languages disappeared．
But we don't have to lose as many languages as some people think．Using modern technology can save small languages，and we mustn't lose the culture，history and knowledge that these languages contain(包含)．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了正在消失的语言，以及这些语言的消失给人类带来的影响，并提出了保护这些语言的建议。
12．What is the main reason for the disappearance of language now
A．Natural disasters．
B．Continuous wars．
C．Extinction of a race．
D．The process of globalization．
D [细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Throughout human history，languages have died out because of natural disasters，war or genocide，but nowadays the major factor is globalization．”可知，如今，语言消失的主要原因是全球化。故选D。]
13．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．A loss of understanding small languages．
B．The importance of disappearing languages．
C．A description of a plant to cure a skin disease．
D．The knowledge of the culture and history of a race．
B [段落大意题。根据文章第三段中的“There are many other examples of why disappearing languages are important．”可知，本段主要举例说明为什么消失的语言很重要。故选B。]
14．What is the author's attitude to saving disappearing languages
A．Worried． B．Unconcerned．
C．Positive． D．Doubtful．
C [观点态度题。根据文章最后一段中的“But we don't have to lose as many languages as some people think．Using modern technology can save small languages，and we mustn't lose the culture，history and knowledge that these languages contain．”可推知，作者对于拯救消失的语言的态度是积极乐观的。故选C。]
15．What is the text mainly talking about
A．Disappearing languages．
B．Increasing natural disasters．
C．Leading languages of the world．
D．Working people's language choice．
A [主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的“Do you know that every fourteen days one of the world's 7，000 languages dies out？”及全文可知，文章主要讲述了正在消失的语言，以及这些语言的消失给人类带来的影响，并提出了保护这些语言的建议。由此可知，A项“正在消失的语言”符合题意。故选A。]

If the plot，characters，or word usage is confusing for you，you likely won't be able to remember what you read．It's a bit like reading a foreign language．If you don't understand what you're reading，how would you remember it But there are a few things you can do...Use a dictionary; look up the difficult words．
·Are you connected
Does a character remind you of a friend Does the setting make you want to visit the place Does the book inspire you，and make you want to read more With some books，you may feel a connection right away． 18 How willing are you to make the connections happen
·Read it; hear it; be it!
Read the lines．Then，speak them out loud．And，put some characters into the words．When he was writing his novels，Charles Dickens would act out the parts of the characters．He'd make faces in the mirror，and change his voice for each character． 19
·How often do you read
If you read frequently，you'll likely have an easier time with remembering what you're reading(and what you've read)． 20 As you make reading a regular part of your life，you'll make more connections，stay more focused and understand the text better．You'll learn to enjoy literature—as you remember what you read!
A．Are you confused
B．Practice makes perfect．
C．What's your motivation
D．Memory is sometimes a tricky thing．
E．Marking helps you remember what you read．
F．But other books require a bit more work on your part．
G．You can do the same thing when you are reading the text!
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何记住读过的内容给出了几个小诀窍。
16．D [空后表示“你或许刚刚读完文章，但大意、概念和形象可能会马上从你的大脑中消失”。根据转折连词“but”可知，前后语义相反，刚刚读完文章就会忘记，说明记忆有时就是件“棘手的(tricky)”事。]
17．A [空格单独一行，且与下面的标题句并列，由此推断，该句应为概括性语句，再结合下文的“confusing”和“don't understand what you're reading”可知，本段是对产生的“困惑”给出小诀窍，故A项“你困惑吗？”为最佳选项。]
18．F [根据空格前的内容可知，读书需要联系，有些书，你或许能马上建立联系。空格后句意为“你有多愿意建立这些联系？”，此处表示转折，而且前面有“some books”，后面必定会有“other”之类的与之对应的词，F项“But other books require a bit more work on your part．”符合语境。]
19．G [空格位于段末，根据文章的写作思路推测，此处应是该段落的总结性句子，再分析空格前的内容可知，该段主要讲了我们应全身心投入到所读内容中去。而且本段还以Charles Dickens为例说明“be it”的可行性，所以G项“你读文章时也可以这样做！”符合语境。]
20．B [空格前一句意为“如果经常阅读，你可能更容易记住你正在读(和读过)的内容”，空格后一句意为“当阅读成为你日常生活的一部分时，你会建立更多的联系，更加专注于阅读，更好地理解文章”，根据“frequently”，“regular”等词汇推知，要多阅读，才能记住文章。B项“熟能生巧”符合语境。]
第二部分 语言运用
第一节
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
I first heard the Spanish language in 2017．Two boys were standing ahead of me，and they were murmuring(嘟囔) something in the 21 language，which attracted my attention．I asked them what the language is，and they told me it was Spanish． 22 ，they taught me my first Spanish word，“hola”，and we became friends soon after．
In the fall of the same year，I 23 Spanish as a foreign language course throughout the next few years in my high school．As the old saying goes，“There is nothing 24 to him who will try．” I had a burning desire and 25 to learn Spanish well．My strong interest and passion helped me 26 ．
Practice makes 27 ，and learning a language is no exception．Though Spanish trills(颤音) were quite 28 for me at the very beginning，I insisted on learning it and repeatedly tried to 29 where to place my tongue to pronounce perfect trills．
There is no easy short-term 30 to master a foreign language．Spanish conjugations(动词的变化形式) are much more complicated than English ones，so I practiced more．The 31 of learning，forgetting and memorizing continued．Meanwhile，I wrote emails or letters to my Spanish friends as practice and took all opportunities to talk with my Spanish teachers and people I met online to 32 my oral Spanish．
Patience is my middle name，and I 33 a long-term plan to learn Spanish well．I believe that success only 34 with practice，patience and persistence(毅力)．There's no end to 35 ！

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了语言学习对人的益处，及英国学校学生们学习比如法语、拉丁语等外语的情况。
36．that [考查主语从句。It is said that...为固定句型，意为“据说”。]
37．widely [考查词性转换。修饰spoken用副词。]
38．to [考查介词。When it comes to (doing) sth．为固定句型，意为“提到(做)某事；谈到(做)某事”。]
39．worst [考查比较等级。根据句意及空格前的the可知，该处应填形容词最高级。]
40．learning [考查非谓语动词。spend time doing sth．为固定搭配，意为“花费时间做某事”。]

43．but/yet [考查连词。由前后句意可知，尽管拉丁语如今已退出历史舞台，但英语很多的单词和结构来自拉丁语。前后句为转折逻辑，故填but/yet。]
44．helps [考查时态和主谓一致。由作主语的动词-ing形式短语可知，该处谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式。又因该句表述一般性事实，因此使用一般现在时。]
45．subjects [考查名词的数。subject为可数名词。由前面的other可知，该处应填写名词的复数形式。]

Dear Wang Mei，
I'm writing to give you some suggestions on how to learn English well．
First of all，why not listen to the teacher carefully and take notes in class If you do these，you can go over your lessons after class．What's more，you'd better spend half an hour reciting words every morning because vocabulary plays an important part in English learning．Finally，I'd like to suggest you keep an English diary every day，which helps improve your written English．
I hope these suggestions will be of use to you．
Yours，
Li Hua
第二节
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The walls of failure surrounded me．I saw my teacher's eyes fixed on my every move．My mum's blank expression betrayed one thing: disappointment．“He is not giving his full potential，” I heard my teacher say．I gazed down，afraid，ashamed，and determined．My determination was not to excel and put my best effort into improvement; my determination told me to give up．
It was my first year in the United States．I was a fifth grader，and everything around me seemed alien．My native language had been Spanish，and after coming to the United States from Puerto Rico because of serious family problems，I just felt like hiding inside my metaphorical shell．The school itself was bright and very welcoming．The bright walls with colored dinosaurs and cartoons were appealing，and the distinct smell of crayons，play dough，and chalks made the place feel like my home．
Then why did I have such a negative attitude It was not because my teachers did not support me．They were willing to stay after school with me to help me learn the concepts．It was not because my classmates did not want me there．Most of them invited me to sit with them at lunch．It was not because I could not talk to anyone; I had a bilingual teacher with me all day，helping me．
My negative attitude was the result of frustration and lack of interest in study．No matter how hard I tried，the mysterious code known as “English” would not take root in my brain．I tried for hours to improve my grammar，pronunciation，and vocabulary，but the unknown language “did not want to be learned”．
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。

[参考范文]
One afternoon，my mother was informed to attend a parent-teacher conference． Having learned my sudden lack of interest and that I had just given up，she was not content．In fact，I spent that whole afternoon listening to her telling me why I should struggle．She told me，“You can never achieve your goal unless you put your best effort into it．” That simple statement stuck in my young mind．It “clicked”and inspired me．
The next day，I found myself understanding English words I had thought I would never know． A simple change in attitude had made the words slowly go from looking like something alien to actually making sense．My teachers' welcoming smile，patience，and bright attitude，in addition to my desire to learn，were enough to make a difference．Within days，I found myself starting to communicate with the natives in English fluently．My mother helped me to see where my problems were lying．And I learned that success in life requires desire，but desire is not enough．One needs push from someone and he cares to achieve what seems to be impossible．
