2017人教版高考英语一轮练习及答案—必修5Unit 5
新题型—短文语法填空
A man from Korea was telling a friend about his trip to the United States. The man had visited major businesses and investment companies in New York City and Chicago.
“I studied English before I left home,”he said. “But I still was not sure that people were speaking English”.
His problem is easy to understand. Americans in business are like people who are in business anywhere. They have a language of their own. Some of the business words and expressions deal with the special areas of their work. Other expressions are borrowed from different kinds of work such as the theater and movie industry.
One such saying is “Get your act together”.
When things go wrong in a business, an employer may get angry. He may shout, “Stop making mistakes. Get your act together.”
Or, if the employer is calmer, he may say, “Let us get our act together.” Either way, the meaning is the same. Getting your act together is getting organized. In business, it usually means to develop a calm and orderly plan of action.
It is difficult to tell exactly where the saying began. But it is probable that it was in the theater or movie industry. Perhaps one of the actors was nervous and made a lot of mistakes. The director may have said, “Calm down, now. Get your act together.”
Word expert James Rogers says the expression was common by the late 1970s. Mister Rogers says the Manchester Guardian newspaper used it in 1978. The newspaper said a reform policy required that the British government get its act together.
Now, this expression is heard often when officials of a company meet. One company even called its yearly report “Getting Our Act Together”.
The Korean visitor was confused by another expression used by American business people. It is “Cut to the chase”.
He heard that expression when he attended an important meeting of one company. One official was giving a very long report. It was not very interesting. In fact, some people at the meeting were falling asleep.
Finally, the president of the company said, “Cut to the chase”.
Cut to the chase means to stop spending so much time on details or unimportant material, hurry and get to the good part.
Naturally, this saying was started by people who make movies. Hollywood movie producers believe that most Americans want to see action movies. Many of their movies show scenes in which the actors chase each other in cars, or in airplanes or on foot.
Cut is the director's word for stop. The director means to stop filming, leave out some material, and get to the chase scene now.
So, if your employer tells you to cut to the chase, be sure to get to the main point of your story quickly.

三、阅读理解
A段
【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。
NASA has recently found a twin Earth in the Milky Way. Scientists said the planet was the closest to Earth that has been seen.
Kepler 452b, which has been named Earth 2, is six billion years old. It has a 385-day year and orbits its star at the same distance as us. It is so like Earth that NASA believes it is possible that life once inhabited the planet. Kepler 452b is 60 percent larger in diameter (直径) than Earth. Scientists say that the planet received the same kind of sunshine as we do on Earth. Thus, plants could survive if taken to the planet.
Since the planet is 1.5 billion years older than Earth, scientists say it can show a possible future for earth. “If Kepler 452b is indeed a rocky planets, its location could mean that it is just entering an uncontrollable greenhouse period of its climate history.” Said Doug Caldwell, a scientist working on the Kepler Mission.
According to Caldwell, the increasing energy from its aging sun might be heating the surface and evaporating any oceans. Kepler 452b could be experiencing now what Earth will undergo more than a billion years from now, as the Sun ages and grows brighter.
The discovery also gives new hope that alien(外星人) civilizations may exist beyond the Solar System. “We won’t be going to this planet but our children’s children’s children might be.” said Jeff Coughlin, another research scientist on the Kepler Mission.
The Kepler space telescope (太空望远镜) has been looking for signs of new worlds outside the Solar System since May 2009, and has so far found more than 4,000 planets. But those planets are either too hot or too cold to sustain life.
(注:Kepler Mission NASA 设计的发现类地行星的太空探索任务)
1. The following statements about Kepler 452b (Earth 2) are all correct except ________.
A. It has existed for six billion years.
B. It is 60% larger in diameter than the earth.
C. It has already entered an uncontrollable greenhouse period of its climate history
D. It is the closest planet to the earth.
2. The importance of the discovery of Earth2 lies in the fact that Earth2 ________.
① can show a likely future for the earth
② gives new hope that alien civilizations may exist beyond the Solar System
③ proves that life once inhabited the planet
④ proves that plants can survive on other planets apart from the eartth.
⑤ is going through now what the earth will undergo more than a billion years from now
A. ④⑤ B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ①②
3. What can we infer from the text?
A. The earth has existed for about 4.5 billion years.
B. Kepler 452b is one of the planets in the Milky Way.
C. Doug Caldwel and Jeff Coughlin are both research scientists on the Kepler Mission.
D. More than 4,000 planets outside the Solar System still cannot sustain life now.
1. C. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“…its location could mean that it is just entering an uncontrollable greenhouse period of its climate history.”可知,“它的位置可能意味着它正在进入它的气候历史中不可控制的温室阶段”的说法只是一种推想,而不是已经进入了。句中的“could”是关键词,它表明了一种假想的情况。故答案为C项。
2. D. 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话和第五段第一句话可知,答案应为D项。
3. A. 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句话“Kepler 452b, which has been named Earth 2, is six billion years old.”和第三段第一句话中的“Since the planet is 1.5 billion years older than Earth,…”可以推知答案应为A项。即地球存在的时间是:(6 billion –1.5billion = 4.5 billion)年。其余各项虽然表述是正确答,但都是原文直接提到的内容,不是推断出来的。
B段
Forget Twitter and Facebook, Google and the Kindle. Television is still the most influential medium around. Indeed ,for many of the poorest regions(地区)of the world, it remains the next big thing——finally becomes globally available. And that is a good thing, because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better.
Across the developing world, around 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had climbed above 60%. That is some way behind the U.S. , where are more TVs than people, and where people now easily get access to the Internet. Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years. In 2005 , after the fall of the Taliban(塔利班),which had outlawed TV, 1 in 5 Afghans had one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013——pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families.
Television’s most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached villages, women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands’ approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a girl. They were more likely to make decisions over child health care. TV is also a powerful medium for adult education. In the Indian state of Gujarat, Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen. Within six months, viewers had made a small but significant(有意义的) improvement in their reading skills.
Too much TV has been associated with violence, overweight and loneliness. However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide.
( ) 1. The underlined word “outlawed” in paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.
A. allowed B. banned C. offered D. refused
( ) 2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Americans used to get access to the Internet easily.
B. The world’s TV sets will total 150 million by 2013.
C.45% of families in the developing countries had a TV in 2005.
D. Over two thirds of families in the world will have a TV by 2013.
( ) 3. The author intends to .
A. stress the advantages of TV to people’s lives
B. persuade women to become more independent
C. encourage people to improve their reading skills
D. introduce the readers some websites such as Google
( ) 4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A.TV Will Rule the World B.TV Will Disturb the World
C.TV Will Better the World D.TV Will Remain in World
【语篇解读】本篇文章为议论文。本文围绕着电视仍然是世界上最有影响力的媒体说起,并用事实进一步证明了电视的存在会让我们的生活越来越好
1.答案B。
【解析】词义猜测题。由本句中the Taliban及1 in 5 Afghans had one可以猜测出,塔利班在政期间是对电视持反对态度,因此是禁止的。故选项B符合题意。
2.答案D。
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中“pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families”可知,到2013年,世界上三分之二的家庭都将会有一台电视。因此选D项。
3.答案A。
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide”可以推断出,作者主要强调电视对人类生活积极的方面。故选A项
4.答案C。
【解析】主旨大意题。由第一段第二句“Television is still the most influential medium”及第三段第一句“Television’s most powerful effect will be on the lives of women”及文章最后一段第二句“However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide.”可知,本文主要讲的是电视将会让人们生活越来越好。由此可知应选C项。
四、七选五
(2015·甘肃省二诊)
Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, “This is my fate. I cannot change it.”
__1__ You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your fate depends on you, not on any other outside factors.
We want to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.
__2__ You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone (unless it contributes to your success), and get your mind and body to work.
If your life is not meant the way you want it to be, don't just say: “Our time will come. ” or __3__“Don't expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it.” If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positive; you also have to act positive.
If someone's life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! __4__ So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to DO your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit) there. __5__
A.I think so.
B.Of course not.
C.You'd better let it be.
D.Things will get better some day.
E.Do something to improve your life.

2.F 根据后句You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky可知应是要记住种瓜得瓜,不要坐等机会,可知答案选F。
3.D 根据后句Don't expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it.的描述可知不要等事情会变好,要积极行动。故答案选D
4.G 根据文中前文的Of course not! 的描述可知不能看着别人的痛苦,做自己能做的事情。可知答案选G。
5.E 根据前句In other words, don't just stand (or sit) there描述可知不要袖手旁观,要行动起来改变你的生活。由此可知答案选E。
