能力提升题组训练(A)
Ⅰ.阅读理解(2018英语学习辅导报 32期)
Does being rich make you happy?U.S.Central Bank Chairman Ben Bernanke says that it does to some extent,but that there’s more to life than going after money.
When people say that money does not buy happiness,they generally mean “extra money”.People whose basic needs for shelter,clothing and food are not met will find it very difficult to feel happy.Even here there are exceptions,especially for people with certain religious beliefs.
Happiness research shows that for one’s level of happiness,how much one has compared with others is more important than how much one has in absolute terms.Again,this is assuming basic needs have been met.Although rich people generally feel happier than poor people in the same country,rich people in a rich country do not feel happier than rich people in a poor country,even though,in absolute terms,they have more.
This means that while keeping up with the Joneses (与别人攀比)can be harmful if we let it go too far,it is also part of human nature to feel at least on a similar level,financially,to those surrounding us.
What are our basic needs,then?For most people,the basic needs are not very basic anymore.We expect to be able to provide a family with adequate shelter,new clothing,plenty of food,health care and education,while also saving for our retirement.
“Meeting basic needs requires effort and dedication,but if your basic needs are met,take a good look at your life and at your career choices.Work-life balance is important.It doesn’t make sense to work 40 hours per week for 40 years in a job you hate,and live only for the weekend.
For most of us,once our basic needs have been met,happiness is achieved when we engage in activities that are interesting to us,spend time with friends and family,and stay active.Making money for the sake of making money does not make people happy.
1.People usually find out their level of happiness by .?
A.meeting their basic needs B.earning a lot of money
C.comparing themselves with others D.feeling happier than rich people
2.We can learn from the passage that .?
A.if basic needs are met,one should look at one’s career choices
B.it is impossible to feel happy if one’s basic needs are not met
C.it is good to compete with others
D.rich people in rich countries are happier than those in poor countries
3.Once their basic needs are met,people achieve happiness when they .?
A.get a job that is well-paid B.get a balance between work and life
C.go after more and more money D.save enough money for retirement
4.What is the passage mainly about ?
A.How to make full use of one’s money. B.What affects one’s feelings.
C.How to satisfy one’s basic needs. D.Whether money leads to happiness.
语篇解读:本文是议论文,主要论述了金钱在我们生活中的意义。
答案及剖析:
1.C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句Happiness research shows that for one’s level of happiness,how much one has compared with others is more important than how much one has in absolute terms.可知,人们通常通过和别人比较来判断自己的幸福水平,故选C。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第六段的Meeting basic needs requires effort and dedication,but if your basic needs are met,take a good look at your life and at your career choices.可知,如果基本的生活需求满足了,人们应该着眼于自身的生活及对职业的选择,故选A。
3.B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Work-life balance is important.It doesn’t make sense to work 40 hours per week for 40 years in a job you hate,and live only for the weekend.以及最后一段可知,有钱并不能给人带来幸福,只有在满足基本生活需求的基础上,达到工作和生活的平衡,人们才能获得幸福感。故选B。
4.D 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要论述金钱在我们生活中的意义,金钱是否能给人们带来快乐的问题,故选D。

Norman 14 as this unseemly looking fellow walked to the radio display,pointed at the Trans-Oceanic and asked whether he had six in 15 .Norman looked 16 at me, then turned and went into the storeroom.He immediately 17 and said that there were six.Then the buyer opened his checkbook and waited for Norman to write the 18 .And I was asked to help carry the six Trans-Oceanic boxes to the back seat of the buyer’s car 19 nearby.?

语篇解读:本文讲述了作者在68年前因为以貌取人而学到教训的故事。
答案及剖析:
1.A 根据本段最后的music -related accessories可知,作者是在一家音乐(music)中心当售货员。
2.B 根据设空处后的My weekly paycheck(我每周的报酬)可知,该空应是指作者的收入。句意为:这份工作提供了令人愉悦的工作环境和合适的报酬。income意为“收入”,符合语境。product意为“产品”;pension意为“养老金;津贴”;profit意为“利润;收益”。
3.C 设空处后提到了基本工资(base salary)和佣金(commissions)两部分,所以作者的报酬包含了这两部分。combine意为“(使)结合;(使)组合”,符合语境。determine意为“决定”;adjust意为“适应;调整”;contribute意为“捐献;促成;投稿”。
4.D 根据下文提到的卖了六台收音机可知,此处应是对收音机的销售。sale意为“销售”,符合语境。根据第5空后的on sales of higher-priced items也可知答案。spread意为“蔓延;传播”;focus意为“焦点”;record意为“录音;记录”。
5.C 本段介绍了几个销售员轮流去接待顾客,根据常识可知这是为了确保最大程度的公平。fairness意为“公平”,符合语境。freedom意为“自由”;purpose意为“目的;意图”;expectation意为“期望”。
6.D 根据设空处前的salesmen及第12空后的customer可知,此处指进店买东西的顾客。customer意为“顾客”,符合语境。farmer意为“农民”;educator意为“教育者”;worker意为“工人”。
7.B 根据最后一段中的that notable afternoon可知,对作者来说,那是一个令人难忘的下午。unforgettable意为“令人难忘的”,符合语境。unbearable意为“难以忍受的”;unreasonable意为“不合理的”;uncomfortable意为“不舒服的”。
8.A 本文讲述的是作者以貌取人的故事,所以此处应是说作者认为这位顾客穿的衣服更适合做庭院工作。suitable意为“合适的”,符合语境。cool意为“凉快的;酷的”;responsible意为“负责任的”;available意为“可得到的;有空的”。
9.B 上一段提到该顾客穿的衣服更适合进行庭院劳动,所以他的衣服应该是不整齐或破旧的。rugged意为“破烂的”,符合语境。polite意为“有礼貌的”;proud意为“骄傲的”;crazy意为“发疯的”。

能力提升题组训练(B)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2018山东省实验中学一模)
I passed my driving test at the fourth attempt.You might think that means
I’m not as safe as someone who passed on their first attempt.But would you feel safer with no driver at all? Maybe not,and that’s why automotive firms have included driver-assist functions in their driverless cars.This allows the human driver to take over if there is a problem.
Google is one producer that has prototype driverless cars.These cars have been newly equipped with auto-steering wheels and conventional controls to allow normal driving.But this is just a stage—the vision is to have fully automated cars very soon.The director of Google’s self-drive project,Chris Urmson,hopes his 11-year-old son will never have to take a driving test.To achieve that,the cars need to be on the roads in five years.He says driverless cars will greatly reduce accidents and traffic jams.
According to Chris,about 1.2 million people are killed on the roads around the world each year.That number is equivalent to a jet falling out of the sky every day.He thinks gradual changes to existing car designs are not enough to deal with the problems.“If we are really going to make changes to our cities,get rid of parking lots,we need self-drive cars,”he says.
Google’s prototypes have covered over a million kilometers on the road.They have also had to deal with unexpected situations,such as a child driving a toy car in the road,and a woman in an electric wheelchair chasing a duck.In each case,the car reacted safely.
Some are not convinced.Sven Beiker of Stanford University thinks driverless cars will still need human input in extreme circumstances.
1.According to Paragraph 1,what is the author’s chief concern about driverless cars?
A.Functions. B.Safety. C.Price. D.Appearance.
2.Chris Urmson mentioned his 11-year-old son in order to show that .?
A.traditional cars are harmful for kids B.his son is not good at driving
C.his son is a slow learner in driving D.driverless cars will come soon
3.What is Chris Urmson’s comment on self-drive cars?
A.They can solve many existing problems. B.They are safer than a jet plane.
C.They can completely change our cities. D.They should change gradually.
4.What can we learn from the text?
A.Google’s prototypes will be tested on the roads soon.
B.Self-drive cars are not designed for children or women.
C.Concerns remain about the reliability of self-drive cars.
D.Driving tests will be easier to pass in the near future.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。无人驾驶汽车尽管能够减少交通事故和交通堵塞,但是,它的安全性还有待验证。
答案及剖析:
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段第三、四句“But would you feel...in their driverless cars.”可知,作者主要关心的是无人驾驶汽车的安全问题。
2.D 推理判断题。根据第二段倒数第二、三句可知,Chris Urmson希望他11岁的儿子将来不用参加驾照考试。为了实现这个愿望,无人驾驶汽车须在5年之内上市,即在他的儿子16岁之前。由此可知,Chris Urmson提到他儿子是为了说明无人驾驶汽车很快就能被生产出来。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“He says driverless cars will greatly...jams.”和第三段最后一句“‘If we are really...’ he says.”可知,无人驾驶汽车可以减少交通事故、交通堵塞和停车场拥挤等许多现存的问题。
4.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some are not convinced...in extreme circumstances.”可知,Sven Beiker认为在极端环境下,无人驾驶汽车还是需要人工来操作。由此可推知,有些人还是担心无人驾驶汽车的安全问题。
B
(2018安徽皖南八校联考)
She sat at the picnic table alone.Recess (休息) was in full swing.She remained awkward around her classmates.She seemed unsure of what to do or say,yet I could see her eyes longing for acceptance.Many students had already decided that her friendship would not be worth the energy required to overcome the awkwardness.Others teased her.Most ignored her—except for one.
Brianna,the class clown,was making the other students laugh,as usual.“Brianna,do you see Molly down there? Would you mind walking down there and inviting her to come up here with the rest of us?”
Brianna sighed.I could tell she didn’t want to sacrifice precious minutes of her own recess to do what I was asking of her,but I also knew her heart.She often thought of others before herself - a rare character for anyone,much less a kid.
Knowing this choice was hard for her,I pulled out a D-buck,our class currency.Though bribery (行贿) was not the ideal way to handle this situation,I needed her cooperation.
“Here,I’ll pay you for your time.”
She offered an insincere smile,grasped the green paper,and headed down the hill.
As the rest of the children screamed and laughed,my eyes locked on Brianna as she neared the picnic table.Molly could be difficult,and I wouldn’t have been surprised if she sent Brianna back alone,refusing her invitation.When she encouraged herself to a standing position,I sighed with relief.
A minute later,I felt a tap on my shoulder.“Here,Mrs.D.” She handed me the D-buck.
“Why?” I asked.
“I shouldn’t keep this.” Her eyes fell to her feet,guilt radiating from her quiet voice.“I don’t want Molly to think I only went to get her so I could earn a D-buck.She’s my friend.”
A moment later,they were all laughing again,and who should I see among them,laughing for the first time that week? Molly.
5.How was Molly in the author’s eyes?
A.She often made fun of others. B.She got on well with other kids.
C.She was eager to be accepted. D.She refused to make friends with others.
6.On what aspect was Brianna different from other kids?
A.Clown talent. B.Cooperation. C.Honesty. D.Kindness.
7.How was the author feeling when Brianna walked to Molly?
A.Worried. B.Regretful. C.Grateful. D.Puzzled.
8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.A D-buck B.A Strange Girl
C.Power of a Smile D.How to Be a Great Teacher
语篇解读:小女孩莫莉不知如何与其他的小朋友相处。Brianna,一个常给别的学生带来欢笑的小女孩,在作者的要求下去请莫莉和大家一起玩。为了鼓励她,作者拿出了D-buck作为奖赏,没想到在Brianna请来了莫莉后却把这个D-buck还给了作者,因为她不想让莫莉误解自己是为了D-buck才这样做的。
答案及剖析:
5.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的She seemed unsure of what to do or say,yet I could see her eyes longing for acceptance可知,莫莉虽然不知要做什么要说什么,但可以看出她是多么渴望被别人接受。
6.D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“She often thought of others before herself - a rare character for anyone,much less a kid.”可知她经常先考虑别人,对任何人来说都是难得的特点,更不用说是孩子了。可知她是一个善良的,考虑别人的孩子。
7.A 推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知,去请莫莉对Brianna来说有点难,所以我拿出一个D-buck来贿赂她,再根据第七段的内容可知,莫莉性格有点怪,不易与人相处。由此可知作者是有点担心焦急,担心莫莉不接受Brianna的邀请。A.Worried担心的;B.Regretful后悔的,令人惋惜的;C.Grateful感激的;D.Puzzled困惑的,糊涂的。
8.A 主旨大意题。本文讲述了一个叫Brianna的小朋友在作者的要求下去请小女孩莫莉和大家一起玩。为了鼓励她,作者拿出了D-buck作为奖赏,没想到在Brianna请来了莫莉后却把这个D-buck还给了作者,因为她不想让莫莉误解自己是为了D-buck才这样做的。所以本文中的事件由这个D-buck贯穿。故A项最为符合。

答案及剖析:
1.competitive 考查形容词。修饰名词market,用形容词,所以填competitive。
2.a 考查冠词。泛指“一种不利条件”,且disadvantage的首字母发音是辅音,所以填不定冠词a。
3.to realize 考查固定句型。It’s time for sb.to do sth.是某人做某事的时候了,是固定句型,所以填to realize。
4.What 考查主语从句。4 was most difficult是一个主语从句,引导词在从句中作主语,所以填what。?
5.existing 考查非谓语动词或形容词。exist与其逻辑主语café之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词作定语,所以填existing。
6.luck 考查固定短语。with great luck非常幸运,是固定短语,所以填luck。
7.relatives 考查名词单复数。我不得不向朋友们和亲戚们借钱。“亲戚们”是复数意义,所以用名词复数,填relatives。
8.was 考查时态及主谓一致。发生在过去的事情,用一般过去时,且此处主语是“I”,所以填was。
9.better 考查比较级。由than ever,可知这里用比较级,所以填better。
10.for 考查固定短语。我对失业充满了感激,它给了我追求梦想的机会。be grateful for对……心存感激,是固定短语。
Ⅲ.短文改错(2018包头高三考试)
My soccer coach retired in last week.I wanted to do anything special for him at his retirement party.My mum makes the better biscuits in the world,so I decide to ask her for help.Mum taught me some basic step of baking.I insisted on doing most of the baking myself.I thought the biscuits were really well.My only mistake was that I dropped some on the floor after I was packing them up.
At a party,my coach,with a biscuit in his mouth,asked surprisingly who made them and joked,“I might have to retire again next year just get some more of these biscuits.”
My favorite picture at the party is the one of my coach and me enjoy the biscuits with happy laughter!
答案:My soccer coach retired last week.I wanted to do special for him at his retirement party.My mum makes the biscuits in the world,so I to ask her for help.Mum taught me some basic of baking.I insisted on doing most of the baking myself.I thought the biscuits were really .My only mistake was that I dropped some on the floor I was packing them up.
At party,my coach,with a biscuit in his mouth,asked surprisingly who made them and joked,“I might have to retire again next year just get some more of these biscuits.”
My favorite picture at the party is the one of my coach and me the biscuits with happy laughter!
剖析:last week作状语,前面不用介词。
由上下文知此处指“做些事情”,并且是肯定句,故用something。
由句意知“我妈妈会做世上最好的饼干”,故此处是形容词最高级。
由last week等上下文透露出的时间概念可知此处时态需用一般过去时。
由some可知此处需用可数名词复数形式。
此处是形容词作表语,表示“好的”之意。well作形容词时指人健康。
此处指“做饼干的时候”,故用when或while引导时间状语从句。
party上文已提,故此处用定冠词。
此处为不定式作目的状语。
me是宾格,其后不能用谓语动词,又因me和enjoy是主动关系,故用enjoying。
