To choose time is to save time .( Francis Bacon , British philosopher ) 合理安排时间就是节约时间 。( 英国哲学家 培根. F.) 语法填空+阅读理解+短文改错+书面表达 (限时50分钟) Ⅰ.语法填空 阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。 There are two factors 1. (determine)an individual’s intelligence.The first is the sort of brain he is born 2. .Human brains differ 3. (consider),some being more capable than others. 4. however good a brain he has to begin with,an individual will have low intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn.So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment 5. he is brought up.If an individual is handicapped(受阻碍)environmentally ,it is 6. (like)that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable. The importance of environment in determining an individual’s intelligence can 7. (show)by the case of the twins,Peter and Mark.When the twins were three months old, 8. parents died,and they were placed in separate foster homes.Peter was brought up by parents of low intelligence with poor 9. (education)opportunities.Mark was educated in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college.This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens,when they were given tests to measure their 10. (intelligent).Mark’s I.Q.was 125,twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his twin brother. 【答案及解析】 1.determining factor是determine这一动作的执行者,应用现在分词作后置定语。 2.with 考查介词。 be born with生来带有的。故填with。 3.considerably 考查副词。空前是differ,应用副词修饰,结合语境可知,此处表示“相当大地”,故填considerably。 4.But 考查连词。 空前后的上下文是转折关系,故填But。 5.where 考查定语从句。空后的定语从句缺少地点状语,故填where。 6.likely 根据空前是系动词,空后是从句,此处缺少形容词作表语,故填likely。 7.be shown 考查被动语态。该句的主语importance是show的动作承受者,故应用被动语态,所以填be shown。 8.their 考查代词。前文提到的是twins,parents前缺少限定词,故填形容词性物主代词their。 9.educational 考查形容词。用形容词修饰后面的名词opportunities。 10.intelligence 考查名词。空前是物主代词,其后缺少名词,their intelligence作 measure的宾语。 Ⅱ.阅读理解 【说理议论类】 I don’t know about you,but I don’t spend much time worrying about how I appear to other people.I know I’m not perfect.But I figure that there is an upside (优势) to my own faults:for one thing,they seem to bring joy to others. Maybe I underestimate (低估)the seriousness of my own shortcomings.I might be like the man who was driving a car with a sticker that reads,“Hang up and drive.” A police officer was pleased to see it,as she had witnessed too many accidents caused by motorists talking on cell phones.Wanting to signal her approval to the driver,she pulled up alongside the car.But when she glanced over,she was disappointed to see him looking into his rearview mirror and shaving.At least he wasn’t talking on his mobile phone. Maybe it’s easier to see the flaws in others.It’s like the camel.An African proverb states,“The camel never sees its own hump (驼峰),but that of its brother is always before its eyes.” I probably don’t see my own humps very clearly. An elderly couple,while on an automobile trip,stopped at a restaurant for lunch.The woman left her glasses on the table,but didn’t miss them until they were back on the highway.And it was difficult to turn around by then.Her husband complained all the way back to the restaurant.They finally arrived,and as the woman got out of the car to get her glasses,the old man said,“While you’re in it,you may as well get my hat,too.” Psychologist Carl Jung explains this phenomenon of seeing others’ faults more clearly than our own.He thinks that everything that upsets us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.Or,put it another way,the humps we can’t help but see in others are a lot like the humps others see in us.Or,perhaps they are like the humps we see in ourselves. So,what would happen if we’d look at other people’s faults and humps as a gift?After all,they’re teaching us about ourselves.And that’s what makes us different from camels. 1. The police officer felt disappointed mainly because the driver . A.underestimated the seriousness of his shortcomings B.didn’t warn other drivers of the danger of talking on cell phones C.was doing something that was likely to cause traffic accidents D.was talking on his mobile phone when driving 2. From Paragraph 4 we can learn that the old man . A.reminded his wife to get her glasses B.made the same mistake C.didn’t love his wife at all D.didn’t know he lost his hat 3. Psychologist Carl Jung thinks that we should . A.learn about people’s character from their faults B.make others know about their faults C.try to find other people’s faults D.see our faults from other people’s faults 4. What could be the best title for the text?( ) A.The humps we see in others B.Attitude towards our own faults C.Ways of avoiding faults D.See others’ faults more clearly 【语篇解读】 本文通过生活中的例子告诉我们,观察别人的缺点可以使我们更好地了解自己。 【答案及解析】 1.C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段倒数第二句“But when she glanced over,she was disappointed to see him looking into his rearview mirror and shaving.”可知,答案为C项。 2.B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句中的“the old man said,‘While you’re in it,you may as well get my hat,too.’”可知,答案为B项。 3.D 推理判断题。根据文章第五段内容特别是最后一句“Or,perhaps they are like the humps we see in ourselves.”可知,答案为D项。 4.D 主旨大意题。根据文章内容特别是最后一段可知,答案为D项。 Ⅲ.短文改错 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除:把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉。 修改:在错的词下画一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意:1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词; 2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。 I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only.What we all know,a good learning environment is of greatly importance if we want to study English well.Classes teaching in English provide students for a better environment.When English is an only language in class,students will have more opportunity to practise listening and speaking.However,there were problems with this method.Sometimes we may find difficult to follow the teacher and some slow learners may even give up learn English.In spite of these difficulties,but I believe practice makes perfect.With enough practice,we can overcome the difficulties and benefit from English classes in the long run. 【答案及解析】 第二句中:What→As 根据句意此处表示“众所周知”,应该是as引导的非限制性定语从句,而what不能引导定语从句。 第二句中:greatly→great 此处用形容词修饰名词importance。 第三句中:teaching→taught 此处用过去分词作后置定语修饰名词Classes,表示被动。 第三句中:for→with provide sb.with sth./provide sth. for sb.为固定搭配。 第四句中:an→the 此处language前有only修饰,指“唯一的语言”。表示特指,因此用定冠词the。 第四句中:opportunity→opportunities opportunity为可数名词,由前面的more可知此处应该用复数形式。 第五句中:were→are 根据上下文语境可知,此处应该用一般现在时。 第六句中:difficult前加it find it+...+to do sth.为固定句型,其中it为形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式。 第六句中:learn→learning give up doing sth.放弃做某事,为固定用法。 第七句中:去掉but 本句是一个简单句,不需要连词。 Ⅳ.书面表达 假设你是某国际学校的高中毕业生,将参加学校举办的毕业典礼。请根据以下提纲准备一篇英语发 言稿。 1.回顾过去; 2.展望未来; 3.临别祝语。 注意:1.词数100左右; 2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯; 3.发言稿的开头和结尾已经给出,但不计入总词数。 Good morning,everyone!It’s my honor to be here to talk to all of you.
Thank you! 【参考范文】 Good morning,everyone!It’s my honor to be here to talk to all of you.Well,congratulations!We all accomplished one of the major milestones of our lives:high school graduation. It has been a long three years and a short three years.Long because of all the hard studying and some little failures that hit us in high school.Short because of the lifelong friendships and the truly interesting and amazing things we learned here. In the near future,some of us will go to college.Some will join the army to help keep our country safe.Others may get right to work.The road that lies ahead won’t be easy. But nothing worthwhile is easy.I believe everyone will keep working hard.I believe we will make the most of our futures and achieve our dreams. Thank you! |
