能力提升题组训练(A)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2018 Learning English 48期)
The Pantheon(万神殿)is one of the greatest achievements of the ancient Romans. The ancient Romans were good architects and they built numerous great buildings,many of which are still in good condition today.The Roman architectural style has been borrowed by many of the western countries.
The architecture of the Pantheon is unique.In Latin and Greek,pantheon means “Temple of all the Gods”.It is believed that a Roman general built the original Pantheon in 27 BC.It was built to celebrate the victory of a historic battle.The Pantheon was completely destroyed in a big fire in 80 AD.The Pantheon that we see today was actually reconstructed in 125 AD by a Roman emperor.Many historians think that the Pantheon was a place of worship(敬奉), because it housed all the gods and goddesses of ancient Romans.
The Pantheon is a splendid example of ancient Roman architecture.This building has been in use for over 2,000 years.The Pantheon is famous for its design,size and its huge dome.The most amazing feature of this building is its huge dome.The Pantheon dome was thought to be the largest in Italy,and even in the whole world.The doors are made of metal and are over 26 feet high.The doorway of the Pantheon is about 40 feet high and 20 feet wide.The columns,weighing 60 tons each,were made of the stones transported from Egypt.
A point worthy of mention is that the Greeks greatly influenced the Roman art and architecture.There is an oculus(圆窗) in the center of the dome known as the “Great Eye”,which opens to the sky.The “Great Eye” is the source of light and also serves as a ventilator (通风口).If snow or rain falls inside the Pantheon through the oculus,there are pipes that help draw off the water.
On special occasions,religious celebrations were held here.Under Papal rule,it was used as a burial ground for kings and other famous people,including painters who followed Christianity.There are tombs of Raphael,the painter(died in 1520),King Victor Emmanuel Ⅱ (died in 1878),and many more in the Pantheon.
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.There were numerous architectural styles in Rome.
B.The Pantheon is the only well-preserved ancient building in Rome.
C.The Pantheon is the oldest as well as the largest building in the world.
D.Roman architecture has had a great influence on many western countries.
2.The Pantheon was thought highly of especially because of its .?
A.huge size B.heavy doors C.tall columns D.big dome
3.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Building styles in ancient Rome. B.How the Pantheon was built.
C.Some facts about the Pantheon. D.Ancient buildings in Rome.
语篇解读:本文是说明文,介绍了罗马的万神殿,它是意大利乃至整个欧洲建筑史上的杰作,我们可以通过它来了解古罗马的建筑风格。
答案及剖析:
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段“The Roman architectural style has been borrowed by many of the western countries”可知,古罗马的建筑风格对西方许多国家都产生了很大的影响。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第三段“The Pantheon is famous for its design,size and its huge dome.The most amazing feature of this building is its huge dome...even in the whole world”可知,罗马万神殿因其巨大的穹顶而受到高度评价。
3.C 主旨大意题。本文从历史建筑风格和用途等方面对罗马万神殿作了介绍。
Ⅱ.七选五
Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences.1. Trust is a risk.But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.?
Unfortunately,we’ve all been victims of betrayal.Whether we’ve been stolen from,lied to,misled,or cheated on,there are different levels of losing trust.Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore.2. It’s understandable,but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again,we have some steps you can take to get you there.?
●3. Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.?
●4. If you’ve been betrayed,you are the victim of your circumstance.But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”.At some point in all of our lives,we’ll have our trust tested or violated.?
●You didn’t lose “everything”.Once trust is lost,what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle,look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.5. Instead,it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.?
A.Learn to really trust yourself.
B.It is putting confidence in someone.
C.Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
D.Remember that you can expect the best in return.
E.They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.
F.This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G.Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍了人们在遭受背叛和欺骗后如何重建信任。
答案及剖析:
1.B 第一句Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences.(信任是我们从以往经历中获得的习得行为。)是对trust的解释。选项B中的it指代上文出现的trust,并且继续解释trust的含义:putting confidence in someone(对某人寄托信任),故选B项。注意:选项B与第一句为顺承关系。
2.E 选项E与上文能形成因果关系。They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.(他们曾经受过严重伤害,不能容忍这种事情再次发生。)是上一句Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore.(有时候人们就是不能再信任别人。)的原因。并且与下一句It’s understandable...(这是可以理解的……)有顺承关系。
3.A 空格位于段首,根据文章结构分析,极有可能是祈使句。并且选项A.Learn to really trust yourself.(学会真正信任你自己。)与空格后的Having confidence in yourself形成同义复现。trust yourself相当于have confidence in yourself。
4.C 空格位于段首,根据文章结构分析,极有可能是祈使句。下文中If you’ve been betrayed,you are the victim of your circumstance.But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”.(如果你遭遇了背叛,那么你就成为客观环境的受害者。但是成为受害者与以“受害者的心态”活着是有区别的。)反复出现victim一词,而选项C中的关键词也为victim,形成原词复现。选项 C.Stop regarding yourself as the victim.(不要把自己当作受害者。)起到总起本段的作用。
5.G Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.(看到事情的积极方面并不意味着你对发生的事情视而不见。)与下一句Instead,it’s a healthy way...for positive...(相反,这是一个健康的方式……)形成转折关系。并且选项中的positive与下文的positive形成原词复现。

Unit 3 Back to the past
能力提升题组训练(B)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2018扬州大市高三二模)
Walls and wall building have played a very important role in Chinese culture.In ancient times,not only towns and villages,but also the houses and the temples were surrounded with walls.Also,the houses had no windows overlooking the street.Thus, walking in a city would give the feeling of wandering around a huge maze (迷宫).The word “city” in Chinese also means “wall”.The god of walls and mounts,whose duty was,and still is,to protect and be responsible for the welfare of the residents in these cities,villages,houses and temples.So a great and extremely hard task such as constructing a wall,which was supposed to run the length of the country,might not sound absurd(荒诞的).
However,it is indeed a common mistake to think of the Great Wall as a single building structure,and it would also be a mistake to assume that it was built during a single dynasty.Actually,several dynasties somehow contributed to the construction of the Great Wall,the foundations of which had been laid many centuries ago.It was during the fourth and third centuries BC that Warring States started building walls to protect their kingdoms,both against one another and against the northern nomads (游牧民族).
The Great Wall played an important role in the growth of Chinese economy in history.Many settlements were established along the new border.Armies were instructed to reclaim (开垦) wasteland and to plant crops there.Also,roads and canals were built.All of the work greatly helped increase the country’s trade and cultural exchanges with many remote areas and also with the southern,central and western parts of Asia.

A.was an order from the god of walls and mounts
B.was a completely absurd task
C.might make sense within Chinese culture
D.seriously prevented the spread of Chinese culture
2.The second paragraph is mainly about .?
A.how the Great Wall was constructed
B.why the Great Wall is so popular
C.how advanced the Great Wall was

3.We can learn from the last paragraph that .?
A.most ancient people don’t like the Great Wall
B.the Great Wall promoted trade in China and abroad
C.the Great Wall was most famous in the western part of Asia
D.people nowadays should protect the Great Wall for its use in trade

2.A 段落大意题。根据“it would also be a mistake to assume that it was built during a single dynasty.Actually,several dynasties somehow contributed to the construction of the Great Wall,the foundations of which had been laid many centuries ago.”可知,第二段主要讲述了长城是怎样建成的。故选A。

More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年)before going to university.It used to be called the “year off”between school and university.The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.
This year,25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year,according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).
That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year.Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education.“Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with,and complete,their chosen course.Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,”he said.
But not everyone is happy.Owain James,the president of the National Union of Students(NUS),argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship-young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education.“New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to ￡15,000 in debt.It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,”he said.
4.What do we learn about the gap year from the text?
A.It is flexible in length. B.It is a time for relaxation.
C.It is increasingly popular. D.It is required by universities.
5.According to Tony Higgins,students taking a gap year .?
A.are better prepared for college studies
B.know a lot more about their future jobs
C.are more likely to leave university in debt
D.have a better chance to enter top universities
6.How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?
A.He’s puzzled. B.He’s worried.
C.He’s surprised. D.He’s annoyed.
7.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?
A.Attend additional courses. B.Make plans for the new term.
C.Earn money for their education. D.Prepare for their graduate studies.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。现在越来越多的高中毕业生采取了“间隔年”的上学方式,即推迟一年再上大学,在此期间挣钱缴纳学费。文章也提到了人们对这种做法的不同观点。
答案及剖析:
4.C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的have put off their entry until next year可知是一年的时间,排除A项“时间长度是灵活的”。根据最后一段中的more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree可知,越来越多的学生利用间隔年来挣钱缴纳学费,排除B项“这是一段放松的时间”。间隔年不是大学要求的,因此排除D项。根据第一段的More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年)...和第三段的That is a record 14.7% increase...可知,间隔年越来越受学生们的欢迎,所以选C项。
5.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with,and complete,their chosen course...可知,采用间隔年的学生对所选择的课程更加满意,更可能完成所选课程,故A项正确。B项“对他们将来的工作了解得更多”在文中未提及,可排除。根据最后一段可知,这些学生在间隔年里挣钱缴纳学费,故排除C项“更有可能在大学毕业的时候欠债”。根据第一段的第一句话可知,采用间隔年是在被大学录取之后,故排除D项“更有希望考入顶级大学”。
6.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的...the increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education.可知,Owain James对间隔年现象很担忧,故B项正确。puzzled疑惑的;surprised吃惊的;annoyed生气的。
7.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的最后两句可知,越来越多的学生在间隔年中挣钱缴纳学费来获取他们的学位,故C项“为了他们的教育而挣钱”正确。A项“上额外的课程”,B项“为新学期做计划”,D项“为他们的毕业学习做准备”,在文中均未提及,故排除。
Ⅱ.语法填空

(memory).We look back with great joy at those last few years with my dad,10. I’m glad I could make him as comfortable as possible.?
答案及剖析:
1.extremely 考查副词。proud是形容词,形容词需要副词修饰,故应填extremely。
2.hid 考查时态。叙述过去发生的事,用一般过去时。
3.to buy 考查非谓语动词。use sth.to do sth.表示“用某物去做某事”。
4.the 考查冠词。此处是特指,用定冠词the。
5.knowing 考查非谓语动词。动词-ing形式用于with复合结构,作宾补;与逻辑主语no one是主动关系,表示逻辑主语的状态。
6.that/which 考查关系代词。引导定语从句,修饰表示物的名词house,在从句中作主语。
7.was 考查时态。由下文I bought可知应用一般过去时。
8.reality 考查名词。in 是介词,后应跟名词。in reality实际上。
9.memories 考查名词复数形式。memory在此处是可数名词,意为“回忆”,故应用复数。
10.and 考查连词。由前后句意可知是并列关系,故应填and。
Ⅲ.书面表达
(2018扬州大市高三二模)
如今,部分学生对单词记忆重视不够。英语作文中用词简单,甚至有拼写错误,影响意思的表达。最近,你的英语老师给同学们布置了一个讨论话题“How to memorize more words?”,请围绕这个话题,写一篇英语发言稿。
注意:1.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯;
2.词数100左右,开头已给出,不计入总词数。
Dear fellow students,
Nowadays some of us don’t like memorizing more words.?
?

One possible version:
Dear fellow students,
Nowadays some of us don’t like memorizing more words. As a result,the compositions take on a worse look,such as limited words and spelling mistakes,which makes it hard to express our meanings clearly.Actually,it is of great significance to memorize more words when we are learning a foreign language.If we don’t accumulate abundant words,we can’t make rich sentences,with which to express our thoughts.
As far as I’m concerned,we should attach great importance to vocabulary.It is better for us to remember a sentence so as to memorize new words.If we can memorize words with the help of their pronunciation,we will find it much easier to keep words in mind.
So,let’s practice English as often as possible so that we will have a large vocabulary.
