Unit 8 Adventure
能力提升题组训练(A)
Ⅰ.阅读理解(2018辽宁葫芦岛高三一模)
Two summers ago I was about to turn fifty and wanted to do something I’d never done before.My daughter Bailey thought skydiving (跳伞) would be perfect for me.I can promise you that of all the things I was thinking of doing,jumping out of an airplane never came close to making the list.As I age,I seem to have developed a growing fear of heights.
After several requests from my daughter,I finally said yes and she looked almost shocked.I told a friend what we were doing,then we set off.We had a 3-hour drive to the jump site.We drove through some beautiful countryside,but then we passed a small cemetery (基地).Then we passed another cemetery and another one.I asked if so many people died jumping out of airplanes in this area that they needed to keep building more cemeteries to bury all the bodies!
As we squeezed into the little plane,I tightly held the right hand of my partner Ronnie.The short ride to altitude was cruel for me.As Bailey stepped to the door,she looked back at me and said “Dad,I’m sure you can do it!” I said yes as she rolled out,I immediately looked behind me and said “RONNIE,I AM NOT FEELING GOOD”.He said,“It’s going to be great.Besides,it’s too late now anyway”,and we jumped out.
The next five minutes were some of the most exciting of my life.It was so beautiful and peaceful—except for the parts where I was screaming.I prayed to God for the parachute(降落伞)to open,but mostly I told Him how thankful I was for my life and being with me through good and bad.
1.What’s the author’s main purpose of mentioning cemeteries in Paragraph 2?
A.To tell how determined he was. B.To show how rough the trip was.
C.To express how scared he was then. D.To prove how lonely the jump site was.
2.What did Bailey do for her father before skydived?
A.She played a joke with him. B.She gave him encouragement.
C.She comforted him constantly. D.She offered him useful guidance.
3.How did the author behave after jumping out of the airplane?
A.He enjoyed himself. B.He stayed quite calm.
C.He breathed out in relief. D.He kept fearing for safety.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲了作者快50岁的时候,在女儿的鼓励下,尝试了跳伞
运动。
答案及剖析:
1.C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的I asked if so many people died jumping out of airplanes in this area that they needed to keep building more cemeteries to bury all the bodies!可以推断出,当时作者非常害怕,故选C。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的As Bailey stepped to the door,she looked back at me and said “Dad,I’m sure you can do it!”可推断出在跳伞前,作者的女儿Bailey在鼓励作者,故选B。
3.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的The next five minutes were some of the most exciting of my life.It was so beautiful and peaceful—except for the parts where I was screaming.可推断出,作者从飞机中跳出来后,表现得很享受,故选A。
Ⅱ.七选五(2018湖北八校高三第二次联考)
The UN has recognized the contributions of volunteers on Dec.5,International Volunteer Day.Here,the four things are offered to consider before taking the leap into overseas volunteering.
Choose your organization carefully
1. volunteering may be a fundraising mechanism(筹资机制) for a development project.For others,volunteering is fundamental to their programs,and those services take on professional roles in longer-term development.?
2. ?
Volunteers want to help and make a difference,but most know this isn’t a purely selfless act.You will learn new skills,broaden your horizons and come to better understand yourself and the world.3. Reflect on your motivations.You want to help reduce global poverty or protect the natural world,but what else? Have you always wanted to travel,but not as a tourist? Work with kids? When you understand your motivations,you’ll be in a better position to choose the option that is right for you.?
Work alongside the local community
Often times,travelers volunteer in isolation(隔离) from the local community in which they are working in.4. This enables you to ensure you are committing to a project that promotes long term and sustainable change.?
A volunteer trip is just the beginning
5. Further ignite(点燃) the global change maker in you by taking your experience one step further when you return home.Spread the message of your transformative experience to others,helping to spark the change within them.?
A.And that’s all OK.
B.Know why you’re going.
C.Don’t assume you know it all.
D.Communities always welcome volunteers.
E.Volunteer travel is a life-changing experience.
F.Some organizations require you to pay your own way,and often include a fee.
G.Make sure to travel with organizations that have strong partnerships with local communities.

1.B 根据“Frosty the Snowman,” and “Jingle Bells”这两首耳熟能详的圣诞歌可知,圣诞歌在商店播放(played)。
2.A 根据后面一句话“I was alone.”可知,此处我一个人独处的情形和周围的人都有人陪伴(accompanied)形成对比。
3.D 由前一句“I’d spent several years searching for aloneness.”推理出多少年来一直在寻求独处的机会,现在我终于可以一个人了,所以选D项eventually。
4.A 由下文的“every cell inside me wanted to be alone”可知“我”之所以想一个人待会儿,是因为和女友分手(breakup)了。
5.B 虽然失恋想一个人待会儿,但在圣诞节却不想这样,前后有转折关系,故选B。
6.D 由第二段开头“As one of 8 kids of a Brazilian family”可知“我”是巴西后裔,所以这里指家人回巴西过圣诞节了,故选D。
7.C 家人回巴西了,朋友们都在忙于自己的生活,这里“be occupied with”有“忙于”之意,故选C。
8.B 夜幕降临,我不得不回到我那个空荡荡的家,这让我很难过,empty“空的”,故选B。
9.A 我希望灯光闪烁的房子里有人出现,请我进去跟他们共庆圣诞节,用“turn up”表示“出现”之意,最符合语境。
10.C 根据常识可知,圣诞树下的礼物一般都是包装好的,wrapped包裹好的。
11.D 第二段描述了作者在街上孤独的心情,在市场看到人们在为圣诞节购物,作者的心情越发难过了,所以选择upset最贴切,upset“不安的,难过沮丧的”。
12.A 这里有点触景生情,别人购买的物品让我想起了孩提时代收到的礼物。called up使想起。故选A。
13.B 在教堂外面,为庆祝圣诞节,小耶稣已经被架起来了,set up(尤指临时)竖起,因此选
B项。
14.C 由后面的“praying”可以看出旁边有人在祈祷,可以想象他们用手在胸前画十字,用crossing更恰当,cross oneself在自己身上用手画十字,表示祈求上帝保佑。故选C。
15.C 离开巴西始终是我一次痛苦的经历,我一直在想,15年的美国生活让我变成了一个什么样的人,该处为what引导的宾语从句,what在从句中充当表语,故选C项。
16.C 由后文的“I recognized what I’d gained”推理出前面应该是为失去的难过,所以选择C项losses。
17.B 由第二段中的“a college student”可知“我”是大学生,所以算得到很好的教育,educated受过教育的;有教养的,故选B。
18.A 由“My life was still ahead”可知,生活会继续向前,会有一切可能(possibility),故选A。
19.D 那个圣诞节“我”送给自己的礼物就是对自己迄今为止的收获的认可及对未来的承诺,credit for对……的认可,故选D。
20.B 这份礼物是“我”收到的最好的礼物,也是“我”最珍惜的。“value”有“珍惜,重视”之意,因此选B项。

能力提升题组训练(B)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
“How are things back at the office?” one of the gentlemen in my bicycle tour group asked me as we were nearing the end of another lengthy ride through
Croatia’s scenic countryside.
“I assume they are going fine,” I said.“I haven’t had any contact and I
don’t plan to.”
“Your phone isn’t on?” he asked,incredulously.“You haven’t checked your email?”
“My phone is off and no,I’m not planning on checking email,” I said.
My wife Heidi and I took our children,Daniel and Rachel,on a two-week trip to Croatia,one of the most beautiful countries in the world.We made the choice to spend some of our money on this wonderful experience so we could spend time bonding with each other and the kids.
Why would I destroy the environment we had traveled thousands of miles to create by bringing my work environment into it?That would be counterproductive to everything I wanted out of this trip.If I had worked during this experience,I would have taken time away from my family and sent them the message that work takes priority over them.
In addition to sharing this incredible experience,I wanted to take us all out of the activity-driven world we live in.If I had had my cell phone on and been constantly searching out a wireless connection to keep up with the office,I would just have brought that hyper-connected environment into the peaceful,meaningful world I was trying to create.
In addition to creating lifelong memories with my family,another wonderful thing happened as a result of this bike trip.As we were returning home,I was flooded with new ideas.I came up with concepts for nine blog posts and several ideas that I wanted to incorporate into my business.
Taking time off restored and rejuvenated me and allowed my creative spirit to really come to the surface.How can you accomplish that goal if you simply move the source of that stress to a different location?
1.From the conversation at the beginning of the text,we can infer that .?
A.the author had no access to the Internet during the tour
B.the gentleman was quite concerned about the author’s work
C.the author’s phone was off because he didn’t want to be disturbed
D.the speakers both experienced an unpleasant bicycle tour in Croatia
2.One of the purposes of the author’s Croatia’s bicycle tour is .?
A.to spend some time creating closer ties with his family
B.to experience a primitive life without phone calls
C.to tell his family that his work is more important for him
D.to escape from his boring work environment at the office
3.What would the author probably do after returning home from their bike trip?
A.He would be busy with all his office work again.
B.He would be caught in a big flood of new business.
C.He would have many new fresh ideas for his business.
D.He would make up for his missing blog posts during the journey.
4.The underlined word “rejuvenated” in the last paragraph probably means “ ”.?
A.got one exhausted B.drove one mad
C.caused one to lose temper D.made one more energetic
语篇解读:作者去克罗地亚旅游时完全放下了手头的工作,尽情地游玩并且他还产生了很多新的灵感。
答案及剖析:
1.C 推理判断题。在文章开头的对话中,作者说他把手机关机,并且没有查看电子邮件。再结合下文内容可知,他这样做是为了更好地和家人一起旅游,由此可以推断出,他不开手机是因为不想被打扰。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句 “We made the choice to spend some of our money on this wonderful experience so we could spend time bonding with each other and the kids.” 可知,作者是想借此机会增进与家人之间的感情。
3.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的 “As we were returning home,I was flooded with new ideas.I came up with concepts for nine blog posts and several ideas that I wanted to incorporate into my business.” 可知,作者在旅游结束回家以后有了很多新的想法,而且他还想把这些想法运用到工作中去。
4.D 词义猜测题。本句中的 “restored” 与画线词 “rejuvenated” 理应意义接近,结合下文中的 “allowed my creative spirit to really come to the surface” 可知,休息之后,作者有了更多具有创造性的想法。由此可推知,休息使人精力更加充沛。
B
(21世纪学生英文报634期)
Most of us have been in this situation.You’re halfway to meet your friends,then you suddenly ask yourself,“Did I remember to turn the lights off?” For those with “smart homes”,however,this wouldn’t be a problem.
Over the last few years,smart home technology has become more popular.Thanks to user-friendly products like intelligent lighting and heating controllers,people can control nearly every electrical item in their homes from anywhere in the world.
“All of our light switches are controllable via our phones and computers.Our home security system,our TV and our heating and cooling controls are all controllable too,” said Mike Poulson,35,a senior program manager from Seattle,US,whose home even greets him and his family when they enter.
While smart homes aren’t new,companies like Philips,Amazon and Xiaomi have finally brought automation to everyday people with affordable products like artificial intelligence (AI,人工智能) speakers and sensors (感应器).
“The obvious message is that you can stop wasting energy,” Tom Kerber,director of research for US-based digital company Parks Associates,told the Guardian.And the technology also has more meaningful uses.In Norway,for example,one company is using smart tech to make life easier for its elderly customers.Abilia’s system allows carers to check up on patients through a tablet on a wall inside their home.
Taking care of ourselves
The device (装置) sends patients reminders about tasks,such as when they need to take medication.It can even tell carers if there’s any unusual activity in the home that could be life-threatening.
“This kind of system allows people to take care of themselves,which is the most important thing,”Abilia’s vice president,Oystein Johnsen,told the BBC.
“It also saves the government money.In Norway,it costs 1 million kroner (0.8 million yuan) per year to have someone in a care home.This system costs 15,000 kroner a year.”
So,for those who have already “gone smart”,will it ever be possible to go back to doing things the old-fashioned way?
“I think it would be difficult.When we go to a friend’s house or on vacation we find ourselves expecting the house to do things for us that we should do,” Poulson explained.
“It would be like going back to a world without cellphones.Not impossible,just different.”
5.According to the article,smart homes refer to homes .?
A.that make the best use of energy
B.with user-friendly electrical items in them
C.that are equipped with a home security system
D.whose electrical items can be controlled from far away
6.What is the biggest advantage of Abilia’s system,according to Oystein Johnsen?
A.It saves the government a lot of money.
B.It helps carers to better take care of patients.
C.It reminds patients not to do dangerous things.
D.It enables patients to look after themselves.
7.Poulson’s words in the last two paragraphs intend to show that .?
A.people rely too much on cellphones nowadays
B.not all people welcome smart home technology
C.smart home technology will be popularized in the future
D.it might be hard to get rid of smart home technology once you are used to it
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。介绍了智能家居引领潮流新生活。
答案及剖析:
5.D 细节理解题。本题考查智能家居的含义。根据第二段中的“people can control nearly every electrical item in their homes from anywhere in the world.”可知,人们可以在世界的任何地方控制几乎家里的每一件电器,故答案为D。文章提到了智能家居可以节约能源,但并没有说它可以充分利用能源,故A不选。文章确实提到智能家居中配有方便用户的电器,但这并不是智能家居最主要的特点,故B不选。C选项文章并未提及。
6.D 细节理解题。 根据倒数第五段“This kind of system allows people to take care of themselves,which is the most important thing”可知,Abilia’s system最大的优势在于可以让人们照顾自己,故D正确。为政府省钱不是Abilia’s system最显著的优势,故A错误。Abilia’s system确实可以帮助看护者照顾病人,但这不是Oystein Johnsen提出的,故B不选。Abilia’s system可以告知看护者病人是否在进行具有生命危险的活动,但是文章并没有说该系统可以提醒病人,故不选C。
7.D 推理判断题。 根据倒数第二段Poulson的回答“I think it would be difficult.When we go to a friend’s house or on vacation we find ourselves expecting the house to do things for us that we should do”可知,当人们已经习惯于智能化的生活后,就很难再回到过去的生活方式,故D正确。最后一段虽提及人们很难回到没有手机的时代,但这是为了证明使用智能家居技术后人们会产生依赖,故A错误。Poulson的观点中并不能推断出B和C选项,故不选。
Ⅱ.语法填空(2018安徽合肥质检)
Eileen Taylor had something sweet on her mind in the drive-through line at
Heav’nly Donuts.Just the day before,a stranger ahead of her in line had 1. (generous) paid for her coffee.“The gesture made such 2. big difference in my day,”says Eileen.She had recently lost her job as a physician’s 3. (assist),and money was tight.But Eileen 4. (inspire) to pay the $12 bill of the family in the car behind hers.5. she didn’t know was that her kindness would set off a chain reaction.In two and a half hours,fifty-five drivers paid for the order of the person behind 6. (they).The doughnut shop’s employees
7. (see) this before.This Heav’nly Donuts,in fact,is known as a special place,the customers of 8. are considered as the“best in the world”.But,even so,the workers were 9. (amaze) that the shop had more than doubled its previous record by the end of the day.?
Now 10. (work) as a chemist,Eileen visits Heav’nly Donuts every Saturday morning,picking up a coffee and paying for the order of the customer behind her.?
答案及剖析:
1.generously 考查词性转换。修饰动词paid用generous的副词形式generously,意为“慷慨地”。
2.a 考查冠词。make such a big difference意为“有如此大的影响”,是固定搭配。
3.assistant 考查词性转换。本空前面是名词所有格,再根据句意“她最近丢了作为医生助理的工作”,故本空填名词assistant“助理”。
4.was inspired 考查语态。inspire sb.to do sth.意为“激励某人做某事”,因本句中谓语inspire和主语Eileen之间是动宾关系,故用被动语态。
5.What 考查从句连接词。分析句子结构可知,was之前是一个主语从句,从句中缺宾语,故用what引导,注意首字母大写。
6.them 考查代词。behind是介词,后面用人称代词they的宾格形式them。
7.had seen 考查时态。根据本句的时间状语before可知用完成时,整篇文章都是以过去时为主,故本空用过去完成时had seen。
8.which 考查从句连接词。本句是逗号隔开的非限制性定语从句,因先行词为place,并且此空位于介词of的后面,故用which引导,构成名词+介词+关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句。
9.amazed 考查词性转换。本句的主语是the workers,指人感到吃惊用amazed。
10.working 考查非谓语动词。本句话的主语是Eileen,与动词work之间是主谓关系,故用v.-ing形式作伴随状语。
Ⅲ.短文改错(2018高考原创押题预测卷)
As we all know,friendship plays a important part in our life.If we have close friend,we can not only share happiness with them but also get support and encouragement from them,which can make us live a much more happier life.Unluckily,many young people misunderstood the meaning of friendship.They think anyone who help them escape punishment is a friend.In my opinion,a good friend is a friend who is honest and willingly to give you a hand when you in trouble.But he or she is always telling you the truth and is willing to help you correct mistakes.Beside,I think we must respect our friends and treat them with the way we want to be treated.
答案:As we all know,friendship plays important part in our life.If we have close ,we can not only share happiness with them but also get support and encouragement from them,which can make us live a much happier life.Unluckily,many young people the meaning of friendship.They think anyone who them escape punishment is a friend.In my opinion,a good friend is a friend who is honest and to give you a hand when you in trouble. he or she is always telling you the truth and is willing to help you correct mistakes.,I think we must respect our friends and treat them the way we want to be treated.
剖析:考查冠词。important 是元音音素开头的单词,前应用an。
考查名词。根据下文them可知friend用复数。
考查形容词比较级。happier 是比较级,前不能再加more。
考查动词时态。根据上下文可知应用一般现在时。
考查主谓一致。anyone 作主语时谓语动词用第三人称单数。
考查形容词。作表语应用形容词。
考查系动词。句子缺少谓语动词,在you 后加动词are。be in trouble处于困境。
考查连词。两个句子之间是并列关系,不是转折关系。
考查副词。此处应为“除此之外”,改为Besides。
考查介词。用某种方式应用in。
