拓展阅读
Angkor Wat
Angkor Wat is the largest Hindu temple complex（印度庙宇）in the world, situated at Angkor, Cambodia, built by King Suryavarman II（苏耶跋摩二世）in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre（重要的宗教中心）since its foundation – first Hindu, dedicated to（奉献于）the god Vishnu (毗瑟奴，印度教主神之一，守护之神), then Buddhist (佛教). The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer（高棉）architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime (首要的) attraction for visitors.
Angkor Wat combines two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture: the temple mountain and the later galleried（回廊）temple, based on early South Indian Hindu architecture, with key features（特征）such as the Jagati. It is designed to represent Mount Meru（须弥山）, home of the devats (天子) in Hindu mythology: within a moat（护城河） and an outer wall 3.6 kilometers long are three rectangular galleries, each raised above the next. At the centre of the temple stands a quincunx（梅花形）of towers. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to（源于） the west; scholars are divided as to the significance of this. The temple is admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its extensive bas-reliefs, and for the numerous devatas adorning its walls.
The modern name, Angkor Wat, means “City Temple”; Angkor is a vernacular（本族语） form of the word nokor, which comes from the Sanskrit word nagar. Wat is the Khmer form of the Pali word “vatthu”, meaning “temple grounds”. Prior to this time the temple was known as Preah Pisnulok (Vara Vishnuloka in Sanskrit), after the posthumous (死后获得的) title of its founder.

参考范文：
The winter holiday is coming. Our class have had a discussion about what to do during the holiday. Some are in favour of staying at home. After a tiring term, they believe it a convenient and comfortable way to relax. Besides, it’s traditional for them to get together with friends and relatives during the Spring Festival. But they will lose the chance of getting experience of the outside world. Others prefer to go out for traveling. They think meeting different people will increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons. However, it will surely take a lot of money and the trips may cause some inconvenience as well.
In my opinion, it would be better to stay at home, for I can do whatever I like and help my parents with the housework.

另一些同学的观点
1. 街头艺人为了生存而表演，没有必要持
2. 群众需要各种艺人来丰富业余生活，不应该对他们进行限制……
你的观点
……
参考范文：
Recently, a class in Shanghai has held a discussion about whether street artists should perform with a license on the street. The opinions are different.
Some students think it quite necessary to obtain a performing license after a series of procedures. With a license, more professional street artists will show off their talents at ease without worrying about being driven away. Besides, the number of pretenders will naturally be reduced so that the social order will tend to be stable.
On the other hand, others hold the opposite view. In their opinion, most street artists perform just to support themselves, so it is unreasonable to be too strict with them. If the government limits them too much, they can’t have access to an ordinary life easily. In addition, our life is greatly enriched by the different performances of street artists.
As for me, I am in favor of the regulated (调整) performance, as people nowadays have a higher level in appreciation of arts.

参考范文：
Students should get up early to study
Should students study by themselves in the early morning？People have different ideas about this. Some hold the view that it is no good for students to get up so early because they will feel tired for lack of sleep. If so, they can’t focus their attention on what the teacher is saying in class. What’s more, being tired, they can’t study efficiently.
But others argue that getting up early can strengthen students’ determination and will. If they don’t need to get up early to have a lesson, they will become lazy easily and it is not good for them to form the good habit of studying.
As far as I’m concerned, students should get up early to study because morning is the golden time for learning. So we should encourage students to form the good habit of self-study in the morning.

参考答案：
Recently we have found letter writings declining1 sharply in our daily communication due to2 the wide use of mobile phones and computers. There is no doubt that we have benefited much from these latest communication inventions. For one thing, they make it convenient for us to communicate. For another, we can never ignore the matter of money, for much will be saved when we use computers.
Despite3 the benefits mentioned above, we can’t deny the significance of letter writing. As we know, letters often work better than mobile phones when it comes to some sensitive feelings. Apart from this, letter writing is a body of art, relevant4 not only to distinctive personality but also to the culture of nation.
Therefore, in light of5 what’s analyzed above, letter writing will never fade out, as it is determined by its importance.

The class had a debate and discussed whether it is right for whoever finds valuable cultural relics to keep them. （1）
Those who agreed that if you find cultural relics you can keep them had three reasons. Firstly, they said that time and money had been spent looking for them so the finders deserved them. Secondly, they said nobody would look for lost relics if they could not keep them. Thirdly, they said that there are so many old relics that it does not matter if one or two belong to those who find them. （2）
Those who disagreed also had three reasons. Firstly, they said all cultural relics are valuable for finding out about the past. Secondly, they said that it was dishonest to take things that do not belong to you. Thirdly, they said that every cultural relic belongs to the country and not any one person. （3）
We had a class vote. Those who disagreed with the question won. The debates changed the minds of some people who had originally supported Jonann Weber’s ideas. （4）

参考范文：
Should Yuanmingyuan Be Rebuilt?
Yuanmingyuan, “Garden Of all gardens”, was burnt down in l860. Recently my classmates had a discussion about whether it should be rebuilt or not.
Supporters of rebuilding the garden say only by doing so can we see the original sight of the garden, which reflects the Chinese civilization. If partly rebuilt, it will not only be another place of interest for tourists but also provide a comparison and help us remember the history.
Those who disagree think it more reasonable to keep the garden like this so that the ruins can remind us we should never forget the history. Other buildings like the Palace Museum and the Summer Palace can also be symbols of the Chinese culture, so it is not necessary to rebuild it and they also worry that the environment will be destroyed when the construction goes on in this district.
Personally, to respect the history, I think we’d better not rebuild Yuanmingyuan and try our best to protect what remains as a cultural relic.

When she started high school, I’d 13 up with her in the morning to make her a sandwich for lunch, and we’d silently drink a cup of tea together before the 6:40 bus came.
But now we are 14 two kinds of partings. I want the romanticized version（浪漫的方式）, 15 we go to lunch and lean across the table and say how much we will 16 each other.

Should Good Sportsmanship Be Taught in School? ?
Almost everyone feels that it is important for young people to win fairly and show respect toward others. Should good sportsmanship, then, be taught in school? Critics do not think so. ____1____ Presented here are the most important benefits of teaching sportsmanship. ?
Teaching good sportsmanship and having a positive attitude in activities like sports, class elections, and science fair competitions are critical to success in school. ____2____ Acting calmly under pressure helps young adults succeed not only in sports but also in life. ?
____3____ A person cannot play by the rules if he or she does not understand what the rules are. Knowing the rules also applies to other activities. If students enter a science fair competition, for example, they must follow the guidelines. Those who know the rules are much more likely to succeed. When students learn sportsmanship, they discover how knowing the rules relates to achievement. ?
Good players become skilled at handling responsibility. When people accept responsibility, they achieve their best. Positive thinkers, moreover, influence others, especially those who are struggling with a problem. A gifted basketball player, for example, might teach skills to a less talented player. Helping others raises the performance of the entire team.
The team, consequently, could reach new heights and set new records. ____4____ Those who do not practice sportsmanship pass off responsibility. For them, if an opportunity is lost, it is someone else’s fault. When students participate on a team, they benefit by learning to accept responsibility, encourage others and own up to mistakes. ?
Sportsmanship is a winning idea. It must be taught in school. Students need direction to become “good sports”. Students will be responsible for their own actions and will have a positive influence on others. As students enter the workforce, businesses benefit. The community also benefits because these students will someday become leaders. ____5____?
A. We need to educate students about how sportsmanship pays off for everyone.?
B. However, the stronger argument favors teaching good sportsmanship.?
C. Sports help young adults learn how to team up with others.?
D. Good sportsmanship also means admitting mistakes.?
E. Activities involving winning or losing can be tense.?

(2018 天津市一中期末) China is a country of many resources. Among its resources are many great rivers, which provide useful transport routes. Water transport is an efficient way to carry heavy loads, such as grain. In ancient times, a waterway was needed between China’s rich farmlands and the capital city. This need inspired engineers to build a canal. According to writings by the ancient thinker Confucius, work on a canal linking the Yangze River with the city of Huai-in began about 486 B.C. For many centuries afterward, Chinese emperors worked on extending this ancient canal.
This canal is now known as China’s Grand Canal. One thousand years after the original canal was begun, it was in extreme need of repair. This was in the year 607, during the Sui Dynasty. By 610 the emperor had had the canal extended. The Grand Canal formed a northeast-southwest link between the Yellow River in the north and the Huai River in the south. The canal remained the main waterway in this part of China for the next five hundred years.
In the thirteenth century, the Mongols had conquered China. The Yuan Dynasty established Beijing as the capital. The city’s growing population needed food, so a new canal was built to extend shipping. Building this part of the Grand Canal required enormous effort and cost. Neither the first attempt nor the second one was successful, so the builders chose another route. Finally this link in the Grand Canal was finished.
By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Canal had six sections. These were busy with cargo until the nineteenth century. Then a series of severe floods struck China. Parts of the Grand Canal were badly damaged. By 1868 it had been largely abandoned as a means of northern route.
The Grand Canal was mostly restored in the twentieth century. It was widened and deepened, and a new section was constructed. Today the canal, which is about 1,200 miles in length, has new locks (运河的水闸). It is busy with ships and barges (驳船) carrying goods to and from cities along its banks.
9. The Grand Canal was first built in ancient times to provide ________.
A. water transport between farmlands and the capital
B. irrigation (灌溉) for farmlands
C. efficient transportation for the emperor’s army
D. a convenient way for the emperor’s recreation
10. The first large-scale (大规模的) repair of the original canal occurred in about ________.
A. 480 B.C. B. 607 A.D. C. the Yuan Dynasty D. the Ming Dynasty
11. From the passage, one can conclude that ancient engineers who began the Grand Canal ______.
A. worked with limited knowledge and skills
B. found a brilliant and lasting solution to their transportation problem
C. were given a great deal of money for their achievement
D. were inspired by the ancient thinker Confucius
12. Considering its history, one can predict that in the future the Grand Canal will probably ______.
A. need to be repaired and rebuilt
B. change from a shipping route to a recreation area
C. be abandoned in favor of air transport and highways
D. be extended to further north China

Watson, he continued experimenting tirelessly 9 (build) a piece of equipment that could transmit sound.

答案与解析
一、单元重点词句练习
1. survived the war 2. his wife survived him
3. Nor do I think 4. walking in the rain
5. is designed for 6. whether/if the story was true
7. is well worth considering 8. go to Beijing immediately
9. I could have lent him the money 10. even if (I am) invited
11. the way she treats her servants 12. him (to be) honest
13. that leads into the mountain 14. which is not far from the school
15. whose official name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
二、单项选择
1. C. 句意：在他生命中的这段重要时期他正在浪费宝贵的时间。priceless无价的；valueless没有价值的；valuable宝贵的，有价值的；boring令人厌烦的。
2. B. 考查介词短语的用法。in search of“搜寻”，符合语境要求。
3. C. 因search前有限定词their，故要用短语in one’s search for。
4. D. be designed for意为“为……设计的；准备给……用的/看的”，符合题意。
5. A. 考查动词的用法。belong to表示“属于”，不能用于被动语态，而且也没有进行时形式，因此只有A项正确。
6. D. 考查介词短语辨析。in all“共计”；in fact“实际上”；in short“简而言之”；in return“作为回报”。句意：我们抽出时间、空间和爱给予狗，而狗回报给我们的则是它们的全部。
7. D. 首先注意be well worth doing，据此排除C；另外从语境分析，这里是把this book和that one进行比较，故用比较级形式。
8. A. not...but...连接两个并列结构，意为“不是……而是……”。what he said是一个名词性从句，相当于一个名词，but后也应是一个名词、名词性短语或名词性从句，所以the way前不可出现介词in，而且其后定语从句引导词在句中作状语，故只能选A项。
9. B. 句意为：他想到的解题方法很有效。way后有两个定语，一个是定语从句he thinks of，另一个即为空格处work out的某种形式。“做某事的方法”可表达为“the way to do sth.”或“the way of doing sth.”由此可知B项正确。
10. C. 句意：一些研究人员认为一定会发现治疗艾滋病的方法，这是毫无疑问的。doubt后有名词性从句时，在否定句中要用that引导，肯定句中常用whether引导，故选C。
11. A. The reason why...was that...已成为一种固定句型，这一句型中的why和that不能随意换位，也不能将that改成because，尽管that这个词在译文中可能有“因为”的含义。
12. A. 句意：这个宫殿在上个世纪发生了三次火灾，原始的建筑几乎所剩无几。remain当“剩下，剩余，遗留”讲时，不用进行时态和被动语态，排除B、C、D，所以A正确。
13. B. remain to be seen是固定用法，意思是“有待于进一步观看；拭目以待”。句意为：出国旅行对这对老夫妻肯定有好处，但这要看他们是否喜欢。
14. A. 句意：那兄弟俩那么像以至于我几乎分辨不开。第一空为形容词作表语，故用alike；第二空表示“把他们分辨开”，动词加副词构成的短语后跟代词宾语时须将代词放在中间。
15. A. 后句意为：我并不看重这本书。根据语境，指现在的看法应用现在时态。
16. B. 句意：双方就一天中谁表现更好而争论不休。debate with sb. about sth.意为“就某事和某人争论”，为固定搭配。
17. D. 代词it的两个重要用法是作形式主语和形式宾语。本题考查形式宾语，it在这里指代后面的真正宾语to have a holiday。
18. A. 虽然四个词都可以和动词不定式连用，但是意义不同。how表示“怎样”，强调方式。而who和what是连接代词，一般在不定式短语中作宾语，此句中动词不定式有宾语，不再需要宾语，所以排除；where则强调地点。
19. C. 句意：你的支持对我们的工作很重要，你能做的任何事都有帮助。whatever相当于anything that，在句子中引导主语从句。
20. B. 此题前一空考查的是对上文的肯定；第二个空考查的是同样的情况也适用于另一主语。
21. A. 句意：体力是你赖以生存的唯一手段的日子一去不复返了。本题考查定语从句。句中days是定语从句的先行词，关系词代替days并在从句中充当时间状语，故用when引导定语从句。此定语从句是分隔式定语从句，从句与先行词因某种特殊的需要被句子其他成分隔开了。
22. C. 句意：奖品将发给故事最能展示其想象力的作者。whose引导定语从句，且在从句中作定语，修饰story；whose story相当于the story of whom。
23. B. 考查定语从句。句意为：不爱活动或饮食中富含脂肪的孩子会很快发胖。定语从句中diet与children之间的关系为children’s diet，即所属关系，故应用whose(＝children’s)。
24. A. 两个定语从句的先行词皆为表时间的名词，work为不及物动词，第一空所选关系词在从句中作状语，故用when；第二空所选关系词在从句中作spend的宾语，故用which或that。
25. D。固定搭配：agree with sb. on/ about sth. 在某方面同意某人的意见。句意：在这一点上两个科学家没有取得一致意见。
三、完形填空
主旨大意：Allie即将去上大学，可此时她与母亲之间却产生了距离，不再像从前那样言无不尽。她的母亲也明白了这一点。
1. C. 本题的理解要从全文对比情节着手，此时Allie多和朋友在一起而与母亲少了交流，下文母亲回忆起小时候她们常交流形成对比。
2. B. 此题也要紧扣情节对比。过去无话不谈与现在对比后，再加之后来母亲问Allie的话进行推理。母女之间现在处于无话交流的局面。
3. D. 母亲对女儿现在与自己不交流的局面困惑，所以就问女儿是否过去做过什么或说过什么令她如此生气。既然自己不知道，那就不确定，而四个选项中might语气委婉。
4. A. 进行逻辑推理，现在母女之间不交流则会产生距离。而B项意思是累，不符前面fine的意思；C项意思是安全，不符此情境；D项意思是独立，对女儿还可以，对母亲就逻辑不通了。
5. B. 从下文中三个学龄段母女俩关系融洽，可以看出当时不像现在这样无话可谈。那就是彼此之间当时沟通还好。
6. D. 此句的句意是：母亲去幼托中心看女儿时，会找一个安静的地方，女儿静静地吃，母女俩彼此对视，心凝聚。
7. D. 句意是：当其他父母在为与女儿疏远而操心时，我想出了一个解决办法。
8. A. 从常识来理解，与女儿疏远时，母亲应为之难过或痛心。
9. B. 此句意思见第7空。从词汇应用来确认。A项、C项和D项意思不符且搭配也不对。
10. C. 句意是：我偶尔到学校去，招呼她出来，带她到一些地方去。
11. D. 当其他孩子在学习时，主人公将孩子带出去可能不符常理或是不负责任。
12. B. 主人公这样做，也许让人觉得不合时宜，因此她们也不让别人知道。keep secret意思是保密。
13. A. 从本句的意思可以判断，她为女儿准备好中饭，那就是早上起床。
14. B。此题从字面意思来判断，A项意思是饱尝痛苦；B项意思是拥有；C项意思是走；D项意思是离开。句意是我们有两种离别方式。
15. A. 在浪漫的离别方式中，我们出去吃顿午餐或……。
16. C. 从上文中浪漫的方式可以联系到母女俩出去吃顿饭，在桌边诉说彼此多么思念对方。此空一定要紧扣浪漫这一信息进行发散。
17. B. 从首句来理解，Allie将一周内去上大学，而且行李已收好，所以现在准备离开。
18. D. 此空要从Allie’s feelings have gone underground这一句来理解，Allie的情感却在密封。所以我伸手去触摸她的手臂，她却收回。
19. C. 此题理由同上，因此我每每邀请她，她都拒绝。
20. A. 此题理由同上，因为Allie处于情感封闭阶段，所以我主动接触她，她都退缩。所以当主人公在看到女儿读Emily的书时，她去搭话时，女儿却将书合上。
四、阅读理解
1. B. 根据空格前一句：Critics do not think so. 空格后开始陈述“teaching sportsmanship”的好处。根据行文逻辑，空格处应有所过渡，说明前面所述的争论对“good sportsmanship”有好处，B项符合这种行文需要。
2. E. 该空和其后的句子在逻辑上一致。空格处说：包含胜负的活动会有压力。空格后说：在压力下冷静表现有助于……
3. G. 第三空所在的句为本段的主题句，归纳本段的主要内容为：规则对于成为好的运动员的必要性。
4. D. 本空也属于承前，和后面情况构成对比。空格前面承接上一段：有了责任心后团队更容易达到新的高度和取得新的纪录。空格后所说的却是“Those who do not practice sportsmanship”因为缺乏责任心而把失败的责任归咎于他人。
5. A. 本句带有归纳的性质，全文讲述了teaching sportsmanship的好处，最后归纳强调观点。
6. C。考查作者写作意图。从短文的图片和“JOIN TODAY AND RECEIVE THESE EARLY-BIRD BENEFITS”等许多部分都可以看出，短文主要目的是激励人们加入对洞穴进行探险的俱乐部的，如短文第一部分介绍的也是在洞穴中你能发现什么。
7. C。从短文图片下第一部分对洞穴探索的介绍可知，探索的对象主要是洞穴中的钟乳石和石笋等。虽然有古代植物的化石，但是从“Examine fossils in the cave.”和“Take nothing but picture; leave nothing but footprints.”这句黑体字可以看出，你不能带走任何东西，排除B。选项A、D没有提及。
8. D。此句句意：除了照片什么也不要带走，除了脚印什么也不要留下。因此选D。
9. A。细节题。根据第一段的In ancient times, a waterway was needed between China’s rich farmlands and the capital city.可知。
10. B。推断题。从第二段可知，大运河在隋朝是迫切地需要修整，后来延长为从东北到西南的黄河和淮河之间的大运河。因此选B。在元朝，是建了一条新的运河。
11. B。推断题。从短文各段可以看出，大运河从远古被建成一直到现在都对南北的交通运输起着很大的作用，所以可以说：古代的工程设计人员发现了一个才华横溢的、对交通问题的持久的解决方法。
12. A。推断题。因为要求从历史的角度来预测，从短文最后一段看出，大运河仍在使用中，将来需要修整和重建是肯定的。大运河是否会再次延长、改为娱乐用途或者被舍弃，短文中并没有给出线索，从历史的角度预测，不会得出结论。因此选A。
五、语法填空
1. it. 此处用代词it代指前文的the telephone。
2. Though/Although. 此处用连词Though或Although引导一个表示让步的状语从句。
3. was invented. 此处用一般过去时表示发生在过去的事情。用被动语态表示句子的主语The telephone是invent这一动作承受者。
4. that. 此处用连词that引导一个主语从句。
5. who/that。此处用关系代词who或that引导一个定语从句，修饰前面的名词professor，并在从句中作主语。
6. the. 此处用定冠词在句中表示特指。
7. at. at the same time意为“同时”。
8. assistant. 根据后文的人名可知，此处用所给单词的名词形式assistant表示“助手”。
9. to build. 此处用动词不定式，在句中作目的状语。
10. other. 此处用the other side表示“另一端”。
五、书面表达
Dear Sir,
I’m a student of Senior 1. I am writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether to board in the school or at home.
At the beginning of this term, my parents and teachers asked me to board in the school. They say it will be very convenient for me to ask questions whenever and wherever. Besides, they think boarding will make it possible to make full of use of my night time, and that I can also develop the ability to look after myself.
However, I have my own thought. Staying at home in the evening, I will have more time to work at my lessons. At the same time, I can learn what I think I’m not good at. I really don’t know what to do. Please give me your advice!
Yours,
Li Hua

Angkor Wat
Angkor Wat is the largest Hindu temple complex（印度庙宇）in the world, situated at Angkor, Cambodia, built by King Suryavarman II（苏耶跋摩二世）in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre（重要的宗教中心）since its foundation – first Hindu, dedicated to（奉献于）the god Vishnu (毗瑟奴，印度教主神之一，守护之神), then Buddhist (佛教). The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer（高棉）architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime (首要的) attraction for visitors.
Angkor Wat combines two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture: the temple mountain and the later galleried（回廊）temple, based on early South Indian Hindu architecture, with key features（特征）such as the Jagati. It is designed to represent Mount Meru（须弥山）, home of the devats (天子) in Hindu mythology: within a moat（护城河） and an outer wall 3.6 kilometers long are three rectangular galleries, each raised above the next. At the centre of the temple stands a quincunx（梅花形）of towers. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to（源于） the west; scholars are divided as to the significance of this. The temple is admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its extensive bas-reliefs, and for the numerous devatas adorning its walls.
The modern name, Angkor Wat, means “City Temple”; Angkor is a vernacular（本族语） form of the word nokor, which comes from the Sanskrit word nagar. Wat is the Khmer form of the Pali word “vatthu”, meaning “temple grounds”. Prior to this time the temple was known as Preah Pisnulok (Vara Vishnuloka in Sanskrit), after the posthumous (死后获得的) title of its founder.

The winter holiday is coming. Our class have had a discussion about what to do during the holiday. Some are in favour of staying at home. After a tiring term, they believe it a convenient and comfortable way to relax. Besides, it’s traditional for them to get together with friends and relatives during the Spring Festival. But they will lose the chance of getting experience of the outside world. Others prefer to go out for traveling. They think meeting different people will increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons. However, it will surely take a lot of money and the trips may cause some inconvenience as well.

参考范文：
Recently, a class in Shanghai has held a discussion about whether street artists should perform with a license on the street. The opinions are different.
Some students think it quite necessary to obtain a performing license after a series of procedures. With a license, more professional street artists will show off their talents at ease without worrying about being driven away. Besides, the number of pretenders will naturally be reduced so that the social order will tend to be stable.
On the other hand, others hold the opposite view. In their opinion, most street artists perform just to support themselves, so it is unreasonable to be too strict with them. If the government limits them too much, they can’t have access to an ordinary life easily. In addition, our life is greatly enriched by the different performances of street artists.
As for me, I am in favor of the regulated (调整) performance, as people nowadays have a higher level in appreciation of arts.

Students should get up early to study
Should students study by themselves in the early morning？People have different ideas about this. Some hold the view that it is no good for students to get up so early because they will feel tired for lack of sleep. If so, they can’t focus their attention on what the teacher is saying in class. What’s more, being tired, they can’t study efficiently.
But others argue that getting up early can strengthen students’ determination and will. If they don’t need to get up early to have a lesson, they will become lazy easily and it is not good for them to form the good habit of studying.
As far as I’m concerned, students should get up early to study because morning is the golden time for learning. So we should encourage students to form the good habit of self-study in the morning.

Recently we have found letter writings declining1 sharply in our daily communication due to2 the wide use of mobile phones and computers. There is no doubt that we have benefited much from these latest communication inventions. For one thing, they make it convenient for us to communicate. For another, we can never ignore the matter of money, for much will be saved when we use computers.
Despite3 the benefits mentioned above, we can’t deny the significance of letter writing. As we know, letters often work better than mobile phones when it comes to some sensitive feelings. Apart from this, letter writing is a body of art, relevant4 not only to distinctive personality but also to the culture of nation.
Therefore, in light of5 what’s analyzed above, letter writing will never fade out, as it is determined by its importance.

4. The result of the class vote 班级投票结果
The class had a debate and discussed whether it is right for whoever finds valuable cultural relics to keep them. （1）
Those who agreed that if you find cultural relics you can keep them had three reasons. Firstly, they said that time and money had been spent looking for them so the finders deserved them. Secondly, they said nobody would look for lost relics if they could not keep them. Thirdly, they said that there are so many old relics that it does not matter if one or two belong to those who find them. （2）
Those who disagreed also had three reasons. Firstly, they said all cultural relics are valuable for finding out about the past. Secondly, they said that it was dishonest to take things that do not belong to you. Thirdly, they said that every cultural relic belongs to the country and not any one person. （3）
We had a class vote. Those who disagreed with the question won. The debates changed the minds of some people who had originally supported Jonann Weber’s ideas. （4）

Should Yuanmingyuan Be Rebuilt?
Yuanmingyuan, “Garden Of all gardens”, was burnt down in l860. Recently my classmates had a discussion about whether it should be rebuilt or not.
Supporters of rebuilding the garden say only by doing so can we see the original sight of the garden, which reflects the Chinese civilization. If partly rebuilt, it will not only be another place of interest for tourists but also provide a comparison and help us remember the history.
Those who disagree think it more reasonable to keep the garden like this so that the ruins can remind us we should never forget the history. Other buildings like the Palace Museum and the Summer Palace can also be symbols of the Chinese culture, so it is not necessary to rebuild it and they also worry that the environment will be destroyed when the construction goes on in this district.
Personally, to respect the history, I think we’d better not rebuild Yuanmingyuan and try our best to protect what remains as a cultural relic.

Allie is leaving for college in a week. With her room filled with shopping bags, she won’t 1 about going and she is off with friends most of time.

Should Good Sportsmanship Be Taught in School? ?
Almost everyone feels that it is important for young people to win fairly and show respect toward others. Should good sportsmanship, then, be taught in school? Critics do not think so. ____1____ Presented here are the most important benefits of teaching sportsmanship. ?
Teaching good sportsmanship and having a positive attitude in activities like sports, class elections, and science fair competitions are critical to success in school. ____2____ Acting calmly under pressure helps young adults succeed not only in sports but also in life. ?
____3____ A person cannot play by the rules if he or she does not understand what the rules are. Knowing the rules also applies to other activities. If students enter a science fair competition, for example, they must follow the guidelines. Those who know the rules are much more likely to succeed. When students learn sportsmanship, they discover how knowing the rules relates to achievement. ?
Good players become skilled at handling responsibility. When people accept responsibility, they achieve their best. Positive thinkers, moreover, influence others, especially those who are struggling with a problem. A gifted basketball player, for example, might teach skills to a less talented player. Helping others raises the performance of the entire team.
The team, consequently, could reach new heights and set new records. ____4____ Those who do not practice sportsmanship pass off responsibility. For them, if an opportunity is lost, it is someone else’s fault. When students participate on a team, they benefit by learning to accept responsibility, encourage others and own up to mistakes. ?
Sportsmanship is a winning idea. It must be taught in school. Students need direction to become “good sports”. Students will be responsible for their own actions and will have a positive influence on others. As students enter the workforce, businesses benefit. The community also benefits because these students will someday become leaders. ____5____?
A. We need to educate students about how sportsmanship pays off for everyone.?
B. However, the stronger argument favors teaching good sportsmanship.?
C. Sports help young adults learn how to team up with others.?

(2018 天津市一中期末) China is a country of many resources. Among its resources are many great rivers, which provide useful transport routes. Water transport is an efficient way to carry heavy loads, such as grain. In ancient times, a waterway was needed between China’s rich farmlands and the capital city. This need inspired engineers to build a canal. According to writings by the ancient thinker Confucius, work on a canal linking the Yangze River with the city of Huai-in began about 486 B.C. For many centuries afterward, Chinese emperors worked on extending this ancient canal.
This canal is now known as China’s Grand Canal. One thousand years after the original canal was begun, it was in extreme need of repair. This was in the year 607, during the Sui Dynasty. By 610 the emperor had had the canal extended. The Grand Canal formed a northeast-southwest link between the Yellow River in the north and the Huai River in the south. The canal remained the main waterway in this part of China for the next five hundred years.
In the thirteenth century, the Mongols had conquered China. The Yuan Dynasty established Beijing as the capital. The city’s growing population needed food, so a new canal was built to extend shipping. Building this part of the Grand Canal required enormous effort and cost. Neither the first attempt nor the second one was successful, so the builders chose another route. Finally this link in the Grand Canal was finished.
By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Canal had six sections. These were busy with cargo until the nineteenth century. Then a series of severe floods struck China. Parts of the Grand Canal were badly damaged. By 1868 it had been largely abandoned as a means of northern route.
The Grand Canal was mostly restored in the twentieth century. It was widened and deepened, and a new section was constructed. Today the canal, which is about 1,200 miles in length, has new locks (运河的水闸). It is busy with ships and barges (驳船) carrying goods to and from cities along its banks.
9. The Grand Canal was first built in ancient times to provide ________.
A. water transport between farmlands and the capital
B. irrigation (灌溉) for farmlands
C. efficient transportation for the emperor’s army
D. a convenient way for the emperor’s recreation
10. The first large-scale (大规模的) repair of the original canal occurred in about ________.
A. 480 B.C. B. 607 A.D. C. the Yuan Dynasty D. the Ming Dynasty
11. From the passage, one can conclude that ancient engineers who began the Grand Canal ______.
A. worked with limited knowledge and skills
B. found a brilliant and lasting solution to their transportation problem
C. were given a great deal of money for their achievement
D. were inspired by the ancient thinker Confucius
12. Considering its history, one can predict that in the future the Grand Canal will probably ______.
A. need to be repaired and rebuilt
B. change from a shipping route to a recreation area
C. be abandoned in favor of air transport and highways
D. be extended to further north China

The telephone is the most popular and widely used means of communication, which has really changed the world.

The telephone 3 (invent) by Alexander Graham Bell. There is no clear evidence of the origin of the word “telephone”. It is believed __4_ the word “telephone” comes from two Greek words, “tele” meaning “far” and “phone” meaning “sound”.
Alexander Bell, a professor 5 trained instructors to teach speech and hearing-impaired (听力受损的) people, got to know about 6 slight differences of sound and its nature. Bell initially wanted to invent a better telegraph that could send multiple messages or signals 7__ the same time. During experiments, the concept of making a device that could transmit (传输) speech through electricity, struck Bell’s mind. In 1875, while experimenting, Bell heard the sound of a clock through the wire. This inspired him greatly. And along with his 8 (assist) and electrician, Thomas A. Watson, he continued experimenting tirelessly 9 (build) a piece of equipment that could transmit sound. Finally, on March 10th, 1876, Bell spoke the first words through a telephone, “Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.” And they were clearly heard on the 10 side. These words have been recorded in history and the date is marked as the official date of the invention of the telephone by Alexander Bell.

13. that leads into the mountain 14. which is not far from the school
15. whose official name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
二、单项选择
1. C. 句意：在他生命中的这段重要时期他正在浪费宝贵的时间。priceless无价的；valueless没有价值的；valuable宝贵的，有价值的；boring令人厌烦的。
2. B. 考查介词短语的用法。in search of“搜寻”，符合语境要求。
3. C. 因search前有限定词their，故要用短语in one’s search for。
4. D. be designed for意为“为……设计的；准备给……用的/看的”，符合题意。
5. A. 考查动词的用法。belong to表示“属于”，不能用于被动语态，而且也没有进行时形式，因此只有A项正确。
6. D. 考查介词短语辨析。in all“共计”；in fact“实际上”；in short“简而言之”；in return“作为回报”。句意：我们抽出时间、空间和爱给予狗，而狗回报给我们的则是它们的全部。
7. D. 首先注意be well worth doing，据此排除C；另外从语境分析，这里是把this book和that one进行比较，故用比较级形式。
8. A. not...but...连接两个并列结构，意为“不是……而是……”。what he said是一个名词性从句，相当于一个名词，but后也应是一个名词、名词性短语或名词性从句，所以the way前不可出现介词in，而且其后定语从句引导词在句中作状语，故只能选A项。
9. B. 句意为：他想到的解题方法很有效。way后有两个定语，一个是定语从句he thinks of，另一个即为空格处work out的某种形式。“做某事的方法”可表达为“the way to do sth.”或“the way of doing sth.”由此可知B项正确。
10. C. 句意：一些研究人员认为一定会发现治疗艾滋病的方法，这是毫无疑问的。doubt后有名词性从句时，在否定句中要用that引导，肯定句中常用whether引导，故选C。
11. A. The reason why...was that...已成为一种固定句型，这一句型中的why和that不能随意换位，也不能将that改成because，尽管that这个词在译文中可能有“因为”的含义。
12. A. 句意：这个宫殿在上个世纪发生了三次火灾，原始的建筑几乎所剩无几。remain当“剩下，剩余，遗留”讲时，不用进行时态和被动语态，排除B、C、D，所以A正确。
13. B. remain to be seen是固定用法，意思是“有待于进一步观看；拭目以待”。句意为：出国旅行对这对老夫妻肯定有好处，但这要看他们是否喜欢。
14. A. 句意：那兄弟俩那么像以至于我几乎分辨不开。第一空为形容词作表语，故用alike；第二空表示“把他们分辨开”，动词加副词构成的短语后跟代词宾语时须将代词放在中间。
15. A. 后句意为：我并不看重这本书。根据语境，指现在的看法应用现在时态。
16. B. 句意：双方就一天中谁表现更好而争论不休。debate with sb. about sth.意为“就某事和某人争论”，为固定搭配。
17. D. 代词it的两个重要用法是作形式主语和形式宾语。本题考查形式宾语，it在这里指代后面的真正宾语to have a holiday。
18. A. 虽然四个词都可以和动词不定式连用，但是意义不同。how表示“怎样”，强调方式。而who和what是连接代词，一般在不定式短语中作宾语，此句中动词不定式有宾语，不再需要宾语，所以排除；where则强调地点。
19. C. 句意：你的支持对我们的工作很重要，你能做的任何事都有帮助。whatever相当于anything that，在句子中引导主语从句。
20. B. 此题前一空考查的是对上文的肯定；第二个空考查的是同样的情况也适用于另一主语。
21. A. 句意：体力是你赖以生存的唯一手段的日子一去不复返了。本题考查定语从句。句中days是定语从句的先行词，关系词代替days并在从句中充当时间状语，故用when引导定语从句。此定语从句是分隔式定语从句，从句与先行词因某种特殊的需要被句子其他成分隔开了。
22. C. 句意：奖品将发给故事最能展示其想象力的作者。whose引导定语从句，且在从句中作定语，修饰story；whose story相当于the story of whom。
23. B. 考查定语从句。句意为：不爱活动或饮食中富含脂肪的孩子会很快发胖。定语从句中diet与children之间的关系为children’s diet，即所属关系，故应用whose(＝children’s)。
24. A. 两个定语从句的先行词皆为表时间的名词，work为不及物动词，第一空所选关系词在从句中作状语，故用when；第二空所选关系词在从句中作spend的宾语，故用which或that。
25. D。固定搭配：agree with sb. on/ about sth. 在某方面同意某人的意见。句意：在这一点上两个科学家没有取得一致意见。
三、完形填空
主旨大意：Allie即将去上大学，可此时她与母亲之间却产生了距离，不再像从前那样言无不尽。她的母亲也明白了这一点。
1. C. 本题的理解要从全文对比情节着手，此时Allie多和朋友在一起而与母亲少了交流，下文母亲回忆起小时候她们常交流形成对比。
2. B. 此题也要紧扣情节对比。过去无话不谈与现在对比后，再加之后来母亲问Allie的话进行推理。母女之间现在处于无话交流的局面。
3. D. 母亲对女儿现在与自己不交流的局面困惑，所以就问女儿是否过去做过什么或说过什么令她如此生气。既然自己不知道，那就不确定，而四个选项中might语气委婉。
4. A. 进行逻辑推理，现在母女之间不交流则会产生距离。而B项意思是累，不符前面fine的意思；C项意思是安全，不符此情境；D项意思是独立，对女儿还可以，对母亲就逻辑不通了。
5. B. 从下文中三个学龄段母女俩关系融洽，可以看出当时不像现在这样无话可谈。那就是彼此之间当时沟通还好。
6. D. 此句的句意是：母亲去幼托中心看女儿时，会找一个安静的地方，女儿静静地吃，母女俩彼此对视，心凝聚。
7. D. 句意是：当其他父母在为与女儿疏远而操心时，我想出了一个解决办法。
8. A. 从常识来理解，与女儿疏远时，母亲应为之难过或痛心。
9. B. 此句意思见第7空。从词汇应用来确认。A项、C项和D项意思不符且搭配也不对。
10. C. 句意是：我偶尔到学校去，招呼她出来，带她到一些地方去。
11. D. 当其他孩子在学习时，主人公将孩子带出去可能不符常理或是不负责任。
12. B. 主人公这样做，也许让人觉得不合时宜，因此她们也不让别人知道。keep secret意思是保密。
13. A. 从本句的意思可以判断，她为女儿准备好中饭，那就是早上起床。
14. B。此题从字面意思来判断，A项意思是饱尝痛苦；B项意思是拥有；C项意思是走；D项意思是离开。句意是我们有两种离别方式。
15. A. 在浪漫的离别方式中，我们出去吃顿午餐或……。
16. C. 从上文中浪漫的方式可以联系到母女俩出去吃顿饭，在桌边诉说彼此多么思念对方。此空一定要紧扣浪漫这一信息进行发散。
17. B. 从首句来理解，Allie将一周内去上大学，而且行李已收好，所以现在准备离开。
18. D. 此空要从Allie’s feelings have gone underground这一句来理解，Allie的情感却在密封。所以我伸手去触摸她的手臂，她却收回。
19. C. 此题理由同上，因此我每每邀请她，她都拒绝。
20. A. 此题理由同上，因为Allie处于情感封闭阶段，所以我主动接触她，她都退缩。所以当主人公在看到女儿读Emily的书时，她去搭话时，女儿却将书合上。
四、阅读理解
1. B. 根据空格前一句：Critics do not think so. 空格后开始陈述“teaching sportsmanship”的好处。根据行文逻辑，空格处应有所过渡，说明前面所述的争论对“good sportsmanship”有好处，B项符合这种行文需要。
2. E. 该空和其后的句子在逻辑上一致。空格处说：包含胜负的活动会有压力。空格后说：在压力下冷静表现有助于……
3. G. 第三空所在的句为本段的主题句，归纳本段的主要内容为：规则对于成为好的运动员的必要性。
4. D. 本空也属于承前，和后面情况构成对比。空格前面承接上一段：有了责任心后团队更容易达到新的高度和取得新的纪录。空格后所说的却是“Those who do not practice sportsmanship”因为缺乏责任心而把失败的责任归咎于他人。
5. A. 本句带有归纳的性质，全文讲述了teaching sportsmanship的好处，最后归纳强调观点。
6. C。考查作者写作意图。从短文的图片和“JOIN TODAY AND RECEIVE THESE EARLY-BIRD BENEFITS”等许多部分都可以看出，短文主要目的是激励人们加入对洞穴进行探险的俱乐部的，如短文第一部分介绍的也是在洞穴中你能发现什么。
7. C。从短文图片下第一部分对洞穴探索的介绍可知，探索的对象主要是洞穴中的钟乳石和石笋等。虽然有古代植物的化石，但是从“Examine fossils in the cave.”和“Take nothing but picture; leave nothing but footprints.”这句黑体字可以看出，你不能带走任何东西，排除B。选项A、D没有提及。
8. D。此句句意：除了照片什么也不要带走，除了脚印什么也不要留下。因此选D。
9. A。细节题。根据第一段的In ancient times, a waterway was needed between China’s rich farmlands and the capital city.可知。
10. B。推断题。从第二段可知，大运河在隋朝是迫切地需要修整，后来延长为从东北到西南的黄河和淮河之间的大运河。因此选B。在元朝，是建了一条新的运河。
11. B。推断题。从短文各段可以看出，大运河从远古被建成一直到现在都对南北的交通运输起着很大的作用，所以可以说：古代的工程设计人员发现了一个才华横溢的、对交通问题的持久的解决方法。
12. A。推断题。因为要求从历史的角度来预测，从短文最后一段看出，大运河仍在使用中，将来需要修整和重建是肯定的。大运河是否会再次延长、改为娱乐用途或者被舍弃，短文中并没有给出线索，从历史的角度预测，不会得出结论。因此选A。
五、语法填空
1. it. 此处用代词it代指前文的the telephone。
2. Though/Although. 此处用连词Though或Although引导一个表示让步的状语从句。
3. was invented. 此处用一般过去时表示发生在过去的事情。用被动语态表示句子的主语The telephone是invent这一动作承受者。
4. that. 此处用连词that引导一个主语从句。
5. who/that。此处用关系代词who或that引导一个定语从句，修饰前面的名词professor，并在从句中作主语。
6. the. 此处用定冠词在句中表示特指。
7. at. at the same time意为“同时”。
8. assistant. 根据后文的人名可知，此处用所给单词的名词形式assistant表示“助手”。
9. to build. 此处用动词不定式，在句中作目的状语。
10. other. 此处用the other side表示“另一端”。
五、书面表达
Dear Sir,
I’m a student of Senior 1. I am writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether to board in the school or at home.
At the beginning of this term, my parents and teachers asked me to board in the school. They say it will be very convenient for me to ask questions whenever and wherever. Besides, they think boarding will make it possible to make full of use of my night time, and that I can also develop the ability to look after myself.
However, I have my own thought. Staying at home in the evening, I will have more time to work at my lessons. At the same time, I can learn what I think I’m not good at. I really don’t know what to do. Please give me your advice!
Yours,
Li Hua
