2017人教版高考英语一轮练习及答案—必修4Unit 1
新题型—短文语法填空
(由2013·马鞍山市第三次质检改编)
Ask any group of teenagers in the UK what they most like to eat, and foods like pizzas, hamburgers and chips are sure to get a mention. But what teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what they should be eating. According to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, far too many young people in the UK between the ages of 4 and 18 consume too much fat, sugar and salt in their diet. Meanwhile, their intake of fibre, iron and calcium (钙) is too low.
For a growing body, eating foods containing plenty of calcium, such as milk, yogurt and cheese, is important as calcium is completely necessary for the development of healthy, strong bones. Similarly, foods that are rich in iron are good for young, rapidly developing bodies, so red meat, bread, green vegetables, and dried fruit are also recommended.
It is during our teenage years that lifestyle habits can be formed, so it is vital that young people are educated about what foods are good for them. In 2005, and in an attempt to change eating habits and open teenagers' minds to new tastes, the famous chef, Jamie Oliver started a “Feed Me Better” campaign. He worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the UK to provide more healthy, nutritious school meal choices. Although some teenagers and parents resisted it, the campaign was in general believed as a huge success and helped to influence governmental policy on nutritional standards for school meals.
No one expects to end the teenage love affair with fast and junk food but, hopefully, if projects like “Feed Me Better” continue to give out the right messages, more young people will understand the importance of balancing several treats with healthier food choices.

【2016模拟题】 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
When I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.
My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.
“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.
“Some clothes and food,” I replied.
“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”
I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.
“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”
This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off — shoes, socks, underwear and all — and shouted, “Can I go now?”
“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”
I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches. A pile of dried-up brown needles were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.
After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.
“It’s Billy! Let me in!”
The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”
Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”
The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.
“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.
1. When the author was leaving home, his mother ordered him to _____.
A. stay at home B. take some sandwiches
C. leave everything behind D. check his suitcase carefully
2. Which of the following can best describe the author’s mom?
A. Selfish and proud. ?? ?????? B. Strict but loving.
C. Kind and helpful. ? ? ? ? ? ? D. Wise but impatient.
3. The underlined word “infuriated” probably means “_____”.
A. surprised? ???????????????????? ?????? B. warned? ??
C. encouraged ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?D. angered
4. Why did the author jump under the low-hanging branches?
A. To avoid being seen. B. To find some needles.
C. To play a joke on the two girls. D. To attract the two girls’ attention.
5. The last sentence “What’s for supper?” mainly shows that the author _____.
A. felt very hungry at that time
B. changed his plan to leave home
C. wished to eat something before leaving
D. wanted to know what his mother prepared for supper
?(家庭)???????本文是记叙文。作者在八岁的时候，因为与母亲吵架萌生离家出走的想法，然而在他准备迈出家门的那一刻，却被母亲拦住了，因为母亲向他提出了一个条件……
1. C。细节理解题。根据文中的But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way可知，在作者要离家出走时，母亲让他把所有的东西都留下。
2. B。推理判断题。让离家出走的儿子脱掉所有的衣服，显示母亲的苛刻，但母亲又让吃尽苦头要求回家的儿子进家门，由此可知，母亲对儿子又充满了爱。故选B项。
3. D。词义猜测题。根据划线词后的I tore my clothes off?—?shoes, socks, underwear and all?—?and shouted,?“Can I go now?”可知，脱去衣服、大声喊叫的作者十分生气。故infuriated在此处有“激怒”的意思。
4. A。细节理解题。根据文中的?... noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that ...?可知，脱光了衣服的作者看到有人走过来，为了避免尴尬，跳到树丛中以免被人看到。
5. B。推理判断题。在树丛中受尽了苦头的作者，最后向母亲道歉，要求回家，他说“晚饭吃什么”暗含着他改变了离家出走的想法。
B
阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
In business, there is a speed difference: It's the difference between how important a firms leaders say speed is to their competitive (竞争的) strategy（策略）and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size .Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.
In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that choose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track, What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.
How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly )and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value ).Simply increasing the speed of production, for example ,may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference .But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.
In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast (相比而言), performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.
Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore , are more successful in meeting their business goals . That kind of strategy must come from the top.
( ) 1. What does the underlined part “gain an edge” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Increase the speed. B. Get an advantage. C. Reach the limit. D. Set a goal.
( ) 2. The underlined part “the laws of business physics” in Paragraph 3 means ___________.
A. spending more time and performing worse.
B. spending more time and performing better
C. spending less time and performing worse
D. spending less time and performing better
( ) 3. What can we learn from the text?
A. how fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.
B. how competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.
C. Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.
D. Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.
( ) 4. Which could be the best title for the text?
A. Improve quality? Serve better. B. Deliver value? Plough ahead.
C. Reduce time? Move faster. D. Need speed? Slow down.

When I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.
My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.
“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.
“Some clothes and food,” I replied.
“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”
I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.
“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”
This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off — shoes, socks, underwear and all — and shouted, “Can I go now?”
“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”
I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house.

1. C。细节理解题。根据文中的But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way可知，在作者要离家出走时，母亲让他把所有的东西都留下。
2. B。推理判断题。让离家出走的儿子脱掉所有的衣服，显示母亲的苛刻，但母亲又让吃尽苦头要求回家的儿子进家门，由此可知，母亲对儿子又充满了爱。故选B项。

阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
In business, there is a speed difference: It's the difference between how important a firms leaders say speed is to their competitive (竞争的) strategy（策略）and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size .Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.
In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that choose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track, What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.
How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly )and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value ).Simply increasing the speed of production, for example ,may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference .But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.
In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast (相比而言), performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.
Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore , are more successful in meeting their business goals . That kind of strategy must come from the top.
( ) 1. What does the underlined part “gain an edge” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Increase the speed. B. Get an advantage. C. Reach the limit. D. Set a goal.
( ) 2. The underlined part “the laws of business physics” in Paragraph 3 means ___________.
A. spending more time and performing worse.
B. spending more time and performing better
C. spending less time and performing worse
D. spending less time and performing better
( ) 3. What can we learn from the text?
A. how fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.
B. how competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.
C. Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.
D. Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.
( ) 4. Which could be the best title for the text?
A. Improve quality? Serve better. B. Deliver value? Plough ahead.
C. Reduce time? Move faster. D. Need speed? Slow down.
