(2018·长郡中学高三实验班选拔)On Wednesday, nearly 300 kids will take part in the National Spelling Bee. Fewer will make it to the following day's semi-finals, where one mistake means elimination(淘汰). I'd bet that many of them will be silently praying—not on the first word. I knew it because I was there 17 years ago.
I was a 14-year-old girl then. My mother and I had flown from Kentucky to Washington, but the capital was no strange to her. My older sister had already competed at the national level.
When my sister was 14 and I was 12, we trained together. We began with the Suggested List given out at school—hundreds of words printed on a poster that could be folded up like a map. When the words along the creases(褶痕) began to disappear, we bought additional spelling lists.
Sometimes my mother tested us, reading words most English teachers wouldn't know how to pronounce, let alone my Indian-born mother. When she pointed out the misspelled words, I blamed her accent for my errors!
When it was my turn, I approached the microphone and waited for my first word.
The announcer was somewhere to my left, a man who pronounced clearly. “Barbican，” he said.
It seemed that my competitors were secretly complaining about the relative ease of my word. Would they laugh at me if I couldn't spell it? Would my mother be disappointed in me? That last syllable could go two ways: C-A-N or C-O-N. Which one was right? Finally I decided on C-O-N.
Of course, I was eliminated and guided to the Comfort Room, where parents couldn't enter. Inside, recent losers were sitting around a table abundant with junk food.
We casually mentioned the words that defeated us, like a special ceremony to welcome each new arrival. Then we changed the subjects if we'd already moved on from missed words and lost opportunities.
Eventually, I went out and saw my mother.
“Well，” she said, “I_guess_you_won't_be_doing_this_again.” Yes, next year I would be 15 and not allowed to take part in the competition.
1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．The difficulty of the first word. B．The fierce competition.
C．The nervousness of the kids. D．The strict rules.
2．The author failed probably because ________.
A．she was unable to relax B．the announcer had an accent
C．her competitors disturbed her D．she didn't practise hard enough
3．What did the author do in the Comfort Room?
A．She met her mother. B．She comforted new arrivals.
C．She talked with other losers. D．She watched the competition.
4．Why did the author's mother say the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A．She was disappointed in the author.
B．The author would be beyond the age limit.
C．She didn't want the author to suffer again.
D．The author had no interest in the competition.

单元检测卷答案
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A．语篇导读
本文为记叙文，讲述了“我”14岁时参加全国英文拼字大赛的经历。
1. 解析 C 代词指代题。根据第一段最后两句可知，参加比赛的孩子都很紧张，所以默默祈祷，千万别在第一个单词就被淘汰；而“我”知道孩子们紧张是因为“我”在17年前有过这样的经历。据此可知，it指代孩子们的紧张，故选C项。
2. 解析 A 推理判断题。根据第七段前三句可以判断，“我”无法放松，心里想得很多，所以影响发挥而被淘汰，故选A项。
3. 解析 C 细节理解题。根据第九段可知，在the Comfort Room里，“我”在和其他淘汰者聊天，故选C项。
4. 解析 B 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可以判断，“我”由于超过年龄限制，不能再参赛，故选B项。
B. 语篇导读
本文为说明文，介绍了怎样避免无聊的谈话。
5．解析 B 顺承关系。B项中的so就是指空前的get a refill这一行为；同时空后的make a move fast…as well与B项的内容相呼应，故选B项。
6．解析 C 重申关系。空后的代词it指代空处前一句中的I'm not in a good mood. Can I talk to you later if you don't mind，所以空处及后一句与这一问题有关；同时后一句中的Say it firmly与C项(不要为了获得同情而表现得太礼貌)在内容和语气方面是一致的，故选C项。
7．解析 G 诠释关系。根据该段的主题句以及空后两句可知，空后的两句话是对G项这一疑问句的回答，G项能够引出下文，符合语境，故选G项。
8．解析 D 总分关系。根据上文中的主题句都使用祈使句这一特点可知，该段也应用祈使句作主题句；同时根据该段中的第一句可知，把目光从这个人身上移开，不要有眼神交流，这样可以给对方强烈的暗示，使其发现这段谈话极其无聊，这与D项(使用肢体语言暗示厌烦)相吻合，故选D项。
9．解析 F 顺承关系。根据该段主题句可知，使用肢体语言暗示厌烦，所以F项(看向别处并假装你的注意力被其他东西吸引)与之吻合，故选F项。
Ⅱ.完形填空
语篇导读

6. 解析 B 根据下文可知，琼斯女士一直觉得自己对学生的教导没有起到很大作用，因此她萌生了提前退休的想法。choice选择；retirement退休；behavior行为；change改变，故选B项。

【句式点拨】

“no such＋单数名词＋as…”意为“没有像……这样的”。
(1)such＋＋that结果状语从句
(2)such…as…像……这样的……， as 在句中引导定语从句。
①Everything comes with a price; there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world.

【提示】 比较下列句子，注意连接词的作用。
A：This is such a difficult problem as all of us can't work out.(as引导定语从句，as在从句中作宾语，指代先行词a difficult problem)
B：This is such a difficult problem that all of us can't work it out. (that引导结果状语从句，that在从句中不作成分)
