(2019辽宁本溪二中高一上月考)
The English language is different from any other language.Yet English words do not stay the same.Our language is always changing.We need new words for new inventions and new ideas.Different words come into use,or older words are used in a new way.
English can change by borrowing words from other languages.Tomato was borrowed from Mexico and pajamas(睡衣) from India.The word coffee came from Turkey,and tea came from China.Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries,too.
New words are also made by adding two words together.Strawberry,postman,and grandfather are words made up of two parts.
Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words.The word photo was made from photograph by cutting off the end of the longer word.Plane was made by cutting off the front part of airplane.Smog was made by using only the first two and last two letters from the words smoke and fog.
The names of people and products can become new words.Our sandwich was named after a man named Sandwich.Scotch tape,band-aid,and jello(果冻) were names made up by the companies that first made the products.

How to Remember What You Read
Reading is important.But the next step is making sure that you remember what you’ve read!
1 You may have just read the text,but the ideas,concepts and images(形象)may fly right out of your head.Here are a few tricks for remembering what you read.?
● 2 ?
If the plot,characters,or word usage is confusing for you,you likely won’t be able to remember what you read.It’s a bit like reading a foreign language.If you don’t understand what you’re reading,how would you remember it?But there are a few things you can do...Use a dictionary to look up the difficult words.
●Are you connected?
Does a character remind you of a friend?Does the setting make you want to visit the place?Does the book inspire you,and make you want to read more?With some books,you may feel a connection right away. 3 How willing are you to make the connections happen??
●Read it;hear it;be it!
Read the lines.Then,speak them out loud.And,put some characters into the words.When he was writing his novels,Charles Dickens would act out the parts of the characters.He’d make faces in the mirror,and change his voice for each character. 4 ?
●How often do you read?
If you read frequently,you’ll likely have an easier time with remembering what you’re reading(and what you’ve read). 5 As you make reading a regular part of your life,you’ll make more connections,stay more focused and understand the text better.You’ll learn to enjoy literature—as you remember what you read!?
A.Are you confused?
B.Practice makes perfect.
C.What’s your motivation?
D.Memory is sometimes a tricky thing.
E.Marking helps you remember what you read.
F.But other books require a bit more work on your part.
G.You can do the same thing when you are reading the text!
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文为一篇说明文。文章就如何记忆读过的文章给出了几个小诀窍。
1.D 空后表示“你或许刚刚读完一篇文章,但大意、概念和形象可能从你的大脑中丢失”。根据but可知,前后语意相反,刚刚读完文章就忘记,那么记忆有时就是件很“麻烦的(tricky)”事。
2.A 空格单独占一行,且与下面的标题句并列,由此推断,该句应为概括性语句,它与本段都属于“a few tricks”的范畴,再结合下文的“confusing”和“don’t understand what you’re reading”可知,本段是对产生的“困惑”给出小诀窍,故A项“你困惑么?”为最佳选项。
3.F 根据空格前面内容可知,读书需要联想,有些书,你或许马上就能建立联想。空格后句意“你多么想让这些联想得以建立?”此处表示转折,而且前面用some books,后面必定有other之类的词与之对应,而F项“But other books require a bit more work on your part.”满足这两个条件。
4.G 空格位于段末,根据文章的写作思路推测,此处应是段落总结性的句子,再分析空格前的内容可知,该段主要讲了读书的活动,所以G项“你读书时也可以这样做!”符合语境。
5.B 空格前一句“如果经常阅读,你会记住你正在读和读过的内容”,空格后一句“如果阅读成为你日常生活的一部分,你就会建立更多的联系,更加专注于阅读,同时更好地理解文章”,通过frequently,regular等词汇推知,要多阅读,才能记住文章。此处B项“熟能生巧”符合语境。
课件54张PPT。Unit 2 Exploring EnglishThere are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language,and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue.It’s said that there are one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.Is this a good thing,or a bad thing?Should we celebrate① the fact that more and more of us can communicate②,using a common language,across countries and cultures?Or should we worry about the dangers of “mono-culturalism”,a world in which we all speak the same language,eat the same food and listen to the same music??
Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language?I would have thought the other way around(相反) although I have never accepted the argument③ that if only we all understood each other better,there would be fewer wars.Ask the people of India(where many of them speak at least some English) and Pakistan(the same situation with India)...If we all speak English,will we then all start eating McDonald’s burgers?Surely not.If English becomes more dominant(占主导地位的),will it kill other languages?I doubt it.When I travel in Africa or Asia,I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages,as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.
When we discussed④ this on Talking Point a couple of years ago,we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland.“The English language is a beautiful language.Maybe it’s like a rose,” he said.“But who would ever want their garden just full of roses?”
Well,I love roses,and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden.But the way I see it,just by planting a few roses,you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else.If more and more people want to plant English roses,that’s fine by me.词海拾贝
①celebrate vt.庆祝

典句欣赏
Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate,using a common language,across countries and cultures?
译文:我们是否应该庆祝这样一个事实,即越来越多的人可以使用一种共同的语言在不同的国家和文化之间进行交流?
分析:本句是一个复合句。that引导的从句作fact的同位语,using a common language是动词-ing形式短语作状语。理解诱思

答案与解析
【语篇解读】为了更好地了解中国的历史、文化和语言,越来越多的美国学生开始学习普通话。
1.than 考查连词。根据前面的“More people”可知,本句使用的是比较级,所以填than。
2.offers 考查主谓一致。主语是非谓语动词“Learning Chinese”,是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词用offers。
3.fifth 考查序数词。后面的“grade”是可数名词,使用的是单数形式,由此可知此处应该用序数词。
4.learning 考查非谓语动词。根据前面的“spend”可知,本句是spend...doing结构,所以填learning。
5.Interest 考查名词。分析句子结构可知,所填的词作主语,所以用名词形式interest。
6.get 考查非谓语动词。在动词make后作宾语补足语的动词不定式不带to,所以填get。
7.powerful 考查形容词。所填词修饰名词countries,所以用形容词形式。
8.who 考查定语从句。本句是非限制性定语从句,先行词是人,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用who。
9.The 考查冠词。根据后面的the better可知,本句为“the+比较级,the+比较级”结构,所以填The。
10.prepared 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,所填的词作连系动词be的表语,表示“准备好的”,所以填prepared。

(2019河北邯郸高一期末)
An American photographer is making copies of great artworks available for blind people and those with very poor eyesight.At least 285 million people worldwide are either blind or considered visually impaired(有缺陷的).They are unable to see or enjoy visual fine art.
Romeo Edmead lost his eyesight when he was only two years old.But that has not stopped him from living life to the fullest.He went to college and studied journalism.He now lives in New York City.He depends heavily on his other senses.But he cannot experience the great works of art in the City.He remembers a visit to an art collection with his grandmother.“We went to this museum and I just wandered off somewhere and I started touching something,and all of a sudden alarm went off.And a guard came running over,and my grandmother was all ashamed.” Romeo is now able to use his fingers to feel art paintings.He can get an idea of the appearance by following the markings.
John Olson once worked as a photographer for LIFE magazine.He developed a printing process to make the art of Da Vinci and Van Gogh touchable for visually-impaired people.“I began to realize how important images (影像) have been to me,and what they have allowed me to do.And it caused me to wonder what it was for the blind,not having access to images.” Olson’s company is called 3D Photoworks.It produces copies of artworks in three dimensions—height,width and depth.The whole process can take up to four weeks.
Thanks to new technology,3D art may soon hang in art museums all over the world.It gives the visually- impaired the chance to experience the beauty of visual art.

2.What does the underlined word “dimension” mean?
A.A period of time.
B.The size of a situation.
C.A measurement in space.
D.The way of doing things.
答案C
解析词义猜测题。根据破折号后的“height,width and depth”可知,从高度、宽度和深度三个方面是立体空间,结合本文讲述的3D技术可知,此处的dimension是指纬度即从空间测量,故选C项。
3.How will John Olson’s work influence the life of blind people?
A.They are able to live their life to the fullest.
B.They can have the chance to feel the beauty of visual art.
C.They don’t need to depend heavily on their other senses.
D.They have free access to museums without any difficulty.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据最后一段“...,3D art may soon hang in art museums all over the world.It gives the visually-impaired the chance to experience the beauty of visual art.”可知,约翰·奥尔森使得盲人有机会感受视觉艺术的美。
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.It takes a month or so to produce a 3D artwork.
B.3D art is produced based on height and depth.
C.3D art is displayed in art museums all over the world.
D.John Olson is rich for what he has done for the blind.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第三段的最后两句“It produces copies of artworks in three dimensions—height,width and depth.The whole process can take up to four weeks.”可知,制作3D艺术品需要一个月左右的时间。

Ⅵ.概要写作
(2019浙江杭州新登中学高一上期中)
In 2002,an Australian man went to his friend’s 21st birthday party.He got drunk,fell off some steps and cut his lip.He took a picture of his injuries and shared it with his friends online.“And sorry about the focus,” he wrote,“it was a selfie(自拍).”That was the first recorded use of the word “selfie”,according to some experts at Oxford Dictionaries.
Oxford Dictionaries declared “selfie”.In recent years,the act of taking a picture of oneself with a mobile phone,placing the subject center-stage,has won great popularity with everyone from Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II to the US with former President Barack Obama joining in.
But the rise of selfie photography in some of the world’s most beautiful,and dangerous places has also inspired a lot of risk-taking behavior,such as hanging from a tall building,standing in front of a rushing train and crossing a busy street.People who get addicted will never stop taking selfies,completely ignoring where they are.In fact,there have been several reports about people losing their lives while taking selfies.Several governments have now begun treating the selfie as a serious threat to safety,warning visitors to pay attention to the dangers when taking selfies.
“Walt Disney World is also banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks because selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for our guests,” Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said.Under the new policy,guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks’ entrances.
