Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2018双鸭山第一中学高三模拟)
On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I looked round when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said,“Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” she gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. After class we walked to the Student Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends.
Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football dinner. I’ll never forget what she taught us. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.” She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily life. At the year’s end she finished the college degree she had begun all those years. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.
1.What happened to the author on the first day of school?
A.He got to know an old professor. B.He made the acquaintance of an old lady.
C.He joined the Student Union. D.He had to share a milkshake with others.
2.From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1, we can find out the author’s .?
A.concern about age B.respect for the old
C.curiosity about the lady D.complaint about education
3.In the author’s eyes, .?
A.Rose was innocent and generous
B.Rose was wise and skilled
C.Rose was talented and hard-working
D.Rose was courageous and her words were inspiring
4.Which saying might Rose possibly support?
A.One is never too old to learn. B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C.Rome wasn’t built in a day. D.It is no use crying over spilt milk.
语篇解读:本文是记叙文。全文讲述了一位不畏高龄之困勇敢追求知识,结识朋友并完成大学学业从而实现人生梦想的高龄老人的故事。
答案及剖析:
1.B 细节理解题。由第一段中“I looked round when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?”可知作者第一天认识了一位老太太。
2.C 推理判断题。作者在大学碰到如此高龄的一位同学,惊讶之余,在这属于“正话反说”。明似说小,其实问大。就是对于如此高龄的大学同学的年龄感到好奇。
3.D 细节理解题。第二段Rose的讲话,字里行间充满了勇敢和自信,并且给人鼓舞的力量。故D正确。
4.A 推理判断题。全文讲述了一位不畏高龄之困勇敢追求知识并完成大学学业从而实现人生梦想的高龄老人的故事。她的经历就是对“活到老学到老”最好的诠释。故A正确。
Ⅱ.七选五
(2018长春高三质量监测)

Discuss your expectations ahead of time.
2. This applies to finances,food,possessions,use of common areas,loud activities or parties,quiet hours and so on.?

4. ?
Not everyone has the same ideas about day-to-day living as you do.Take your roommate’s feelings into consideration.For instance,if you’re dying to throw a party on Thursday night but your roommate has a final early the next morning,agree to postpone the party till Friday evening,instead.
Communicate effectively.
Communication is key in making the relationship work.If a problem comes up, it’s better to talk about it right away than to ignore it.For example,say “Chris,it upsets me when I wake up to find all the milk gone.If you use the last of something,can you please add it to the list?” If you simply cannot communicate openly and there is tension all the time,5. ?

语篇解读:本文为夹叙夹议文。作者回忆了小时候,春天到来时,脱掉沉重的冬靴,穿上了新买的运动鞋,感受温暖春风的愉快心情。由此感悟到:尽管生活中会有不尽如人意的地方,但作者不会受其影响,会尽量保持犹如在春天奔跑的心情。
答案及剖析:
1.B 由前一分句 “Spring is here”和句尾的 “longer days”可知,此处表示随着“春天”的到来。
2.D 此处的 2 ,new sneakers and longer days 与最后一段中的put on a new coat of paint,pull on a new pair of sneakers,and just run like it was spring相呼应,因此此处用paint。?
3.A 根据第一段中的 “...come memories of the smell of 2 , new sneakers, and longer days.”可知,当作者闻到油漆的气味时,他知道春天到来了。?
4.C 根据后句 “She opened the windows, let the fresh air in, opened a can of paint, and put a fresh 5 on the walls of a room.”可知此空应填decoration(装饰)。?
5.A 用油漆粉刷房间,就好像为房间的墙壁穿上一件大衣一样。此外,最后一段的 “I would let my room put on a new coat of paint”也提示了答案。
6.D 下文作者用了很大的篇幅说明春天到来后,妈妈为他们买新运动鞋,让他们脱去冬天的厚重的鞋子。由此可知,春天也是作者更换鞋子的季节。
7.C 根据 “from late December until late March”可知,这段时间是地面上连续不断地(continuously)有雪的时间。
8.B 根据下面一句 “To run in them was like running with two weighty bags.”可知,冬天作者穿的鞋子非常重。
9.C 第一段中的 “new sneakers”提示了答案。
10.A 根据下面一句中的 “After a month or two, small hands would tear it off, and leave a circle,”可知此处指的是rubber circle。
11.D 一两个月后,带有商标的橡胶圈被撕掉后,留下一个圆圈,颜色比周围褪色的材料 较深。
12.B 根据后文 “The door shut 13 behind us when we rushed out, causing...”可知,作者和他的兄弟们一到家就“穿上”(put on)新运动鞋出去飞奔。?
13.A 此处显示了作者和他的兄弟们穿上新运动鞋后激动的心情——关门都非常用力。
14.D 因为作者和他的兄弟们关门声音太大,所以他们的父亲会生气地大喊一声。
15.C 作者换上新买的运动鞋以后,沉重的冬靴的重量就没有了。
16.B 由后文 “through the air” 和 “jump thirty feet like a kangaroo”可知此处应填flying。
17.A 由常识可知这里表示春天的暖风。此外,第二段的 “The first warm day would cause my mum to ...”也提示了答案。
18.C 春天来了,作者脱掉沉重的鞋子穿上了新买的运动鞋,想到夏天的到来和感受温暖的春风令人很快活。
19.B 根据前一分句 “When life gets me down”可知,这一分句同样应表示生活中会有不尽如人意之处,所以选hopeless。

Unit 3 Amazing people
能力提升题组训练(B)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
You must have heard of Tesla motors,but do you know Nicola Tesla? Born on 10th July 1856 in Croatia,in Eastern Europe.Tesla was interested in electricity from a very young age.In 1881,one of the first telephone exchanges opened in Budapest.Tesla moved there and got a job.It was here that Tesla first thought of the idea of the alternating current (交流电) (AC).
In 1884,Tesla moved to America and worked for Thomas Edison.But Tesla worked for Edison for less than a year.Tesla was sure his AC motor was the best way to capture (获取) and transport the power of electricity.However,Edison thought his way of using direct current (DC) was better and considered AC to be unsafe.But soon the scientific community accepted AC was more powerful than DC and it was proved safe.
In 1895,Tesla designed the first water power plant using the energy of the Niagara Falls.And he did it using the AC motor.After the success of AC,Tesla became well-known.He travelled and spoke to many scientists about his inventions and ideas.He built a large laboratory where he did amazing things with lights and electricity.However,it burned down not long after it was built.
As Tesla got older,he continued to come up with new ideas and theories.But he was less successful and famous.Many people didn’t recognize that particular inventions were really Tesla’ s ideas.
Tesla gave speeches about creating electrical power from the earth’s atmosphere. He also talked about ways that wireless electricity and communication could power things all over the world! But to the people of his time,these ideas sounded crazy. However,some of his ideas have now been supported by modern research and technology.
Tesla’s last years were lonely and sad.He received many awards,but received very little money.When he died in 1943,he was no longer famous and felt forgotten. Today,not many people know the name of Nicola Tesla but his inventions and ideas affect our lives every day!
1.Why did Tesla stop working for Edison?
A.Tesla was badly paid there. B.They had some disagreements.
C.They had very different characters. D.Tesla wanted to move back to Europe.
2.In his later years,Tesla .?
A.lived a colorful life
B.was misunderstood and doubted
C.was unable to think out new ideas
D.rose to fame as an award-winning inventor
3.We can learn from the text that Tesla .?
A.became famous as an assistant to Edison B.was ahead of modern technology
C.had great interest in travelling D.was not good at speeches
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Nicola Tesla,a challenger for difficulties
B.Nicola Tesla,a dreamer in science
C.Nicola Tesla,a forgotten inventor
D.Nicola Tesla,a strange scientist
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一位被遗忘的伟大科学家和发明家尼古拉?特 斯拉。
答案及剖析:
1.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中Tesla was sure his AC motor was the best way to capture (获取) and transport the power of electricity.However,Edison thought his way of using direct current (DC) was better and considered AC to be unsafe.But soon the scientific community accepted AC was more powerful than DC and it was proved safe.可知,特斯拉主张用交流电机传输电流,而爱迪生更看好自己的直流电,由此可推测,两人之间的分歧导致特斯拉不再继续为爱迪生工作。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第四段的Many people didn’t recognize that particular inventions were really Tesla’s ideas及第五段的these ideas sounded crazy.可知,特斯拉在晚年遭受误解和质疑。
3.B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的However,some of his ideas have now been supported by modern research and technology.可知,Tesla走在了现代科技的前面。
4.C 标题归纳题。文章首句以问句形式引出本文的主人公,文章结尾句Today,not many people know the name of Nicola Tesla but his inventions and ideas affect our lives every day!与首句相呼应,结合全文内容可知,特斯拉是一名伟大的发明家,然而却不被人们所铭记。由此可知C项作文章标题贴切。
B
(2018湖南湘潭高三三模)
John Glenn,the first American to orbit the earth,died at 95,who was the last surviving member of a group known as “the Mercury Seven” test pilots who were chosen to become America’s first astronauts.
Barack Obama released a statement about Glenn’s death:“Our nation has lost an icon and Michelle and I have lost a friend.”He praised Glenn for a lifetime of breaking barriers,including setting a transcontinental speed record and becoming the oldest man ever to go into space.
He served as a military pilot in World WarⅡ and the Korean conflict.Then,he served as a test pilot on military airplanes.On February 20,1962,Glenn became the first American to orbit the earth.He flew a spacecraft named the Friendship 7.He orbited three times during the almost five-hour flight.In 1998,he also became the oldest man to fly in space.
The United States space agency,NASA,wanted to study the possible effects of space travel on old people.NASA said that they already had so much information about Glenn,so he was perfect for it.Glenn was not only an astronaut but a politician.He was a member of the Democratic Party.He first sought political office in 1964,to represent Ohio in the US Senate.He withdrew from the race after an injury,however.He ran again six years later but didn’t win the party’s nomination.Finally,in 1974,on his third attempt,Ohio elected John Glenn to the US Senate.He remained a member of the US Senate until 1999.
Later,Glenn helped to create a public service school at Ohio State University which became the John Glenn College of Public Affairs.

A.he was a soldier as well as a politician
B.he orbited three times during the space flight
C.they had already known much about his hobby
D.he was an experienced old man in space flight
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了美国第一位环绕地球的宇航员John Glenn的生平。
答案及剖析:
5.C 细节理解题。根据“On February 20,1962,Glenn became the first American to orbit the earth.”可知A、B两项错误;根据...who was the last surviving member of a group known as “the Mercury Seven” test pilots who were chosen to become America’s first astronauts.可知Glenn是被挑选为美国第一批宇航员的测试飞行员中最后一个活着的成员,而不是最后被选择成为测试飞行员,故D项错误。根据“He orbited three times during the almost five-hour flight.”可知C项正确。
6.A 词义猜测题。根据上下文可知此处表示“我们的民族失去了一位英雄,米歇尔和我失去了一位朋友”,由此可知该词与hero词义接近,故选A。
7.D 推理判断题。根据第四段第一、二句话可知NASA认为Glenn是这项研究的合适人选是因为这项研究是为了研究太空旅行对老人的影响而且他们很了解Glenn在太空飞行方面经验丰富,故选D。
Ⅱ.语法填空
Yangshuo,China
It was raining lightly when I 1. (arrive) in Yangshuo just before dawn.But I didn’t care.A few hours 2. ,I’d been at home in Hong Kong,with 3. (it) choking smog.Here,the air was clean and fresh,even with the rain.?
I’d skipped nearby Guilin,a dream place for tourists seeking the limestone mountain tops and dark waters of the Li River 4. are pictured by artists in so many Chinese 5. (painting).Instead,I’d headed straight for Yangshuo.For those who fly to Guilin,it’s only an hour away 6. car and offers all the scenery of the better-known city.?
Yangshuo 7. (be) really beautiful.A study of travelers 8. (conduct) by the website TripAdvisor names Yangshuo as one of the top 10 destinations in the world.And the town is fast becoming a popular weekend destination for people in Asia.Abercrombie & Kent,a travel company in Hong Kong,says it 9. (regular) arranges quick getaways here for people 10. (live) in Shanghai and Hong Kong.?
语篇解读:本文是一篇游记,记述了作者游览阳朔的所见、所闻、所感。
答案及剖析:
1.arrived 考查时态。由主句中的was和后一句中的didn’t可知,这里使用一般过去时态。
2.before 考查副词。根据句意和I’d been at home的时态可知此处表示“几个小时前,我待在香港的家里”,“待在家里”应该是发生在过去动作arrived之前,故此处填before。
3.its 考查代词。因为smog是名词,所以需要用it的形容词性物主代词形式。
4.that/which 考查定语从句的引导词。根据句意和句子结构可知此处是一个定语从句,因为先行词是物,且引导词在定语从句中作主语,所以用that或which引导从句。
5.paintings 考查名词的单复数。因为该词由so many修饰,所以用复数形式。
6.by 考查介词。乘坐交通工具可用by表达,而且名词原形前不用冠词。
7.is 考查主谓一致和时态。根据后文的时态可知这里使用一般现在时,介绍客观情况,又因为Yangshuo是第三人称单数,所以这里使用is。
8.conducted 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此句的主干为A study of travelers names Yangshuo as one of the top...study和conduct之间为被动关系,所以使用过去分词作定语。
9.regularly 考查形容词变副词。此处需要一个副词修饰动词arrange,表示“经常安排快捷的短假”。
10.living 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空格处为非谓语动词,因为people与live之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词形式,作后置定语,此处表示“经常为生活在上海和香港的人安排快捷的短假”。

Dear Mr.Smith,
I’m Li Hua,a student that you helped three weeks ago.I’m writing to express my deep appreciation of the kind help you offered to me.
Having consulted you,I followed your advice on how to cope with stress.To begin with,I took some physical exercise,such as playing football.Additionally,by listening to music,I became relaxed.More importantly,I have changed my attitude toward exams.In the test held last week,I got the first place.Without your help,I wouldn’t have made such rapid progress.At present,although occupied with my studies,I manage to spare some time to participate in some social activities.
