2019高考英语新课件二轮练习精品单元卷18(详细解析) Unit 1-Unit 5 (Book1) (试卷总分100分 考试时间100分钟) 特别关注 本单元重点句型及结构:not…unitl, should have done, It was the first time…,It is/was…that…, It seems as if/ as though…, All…not…, only构成的倒装句,the first time…等。本单元出现的语法为直接引语和间接引语,现在进行时表将来,关系代词、关系副词及 “prep+which/whom”引导的定语从句,其中定语从句为重点语法。 重点是:that的13种特殊用法;that和which的区别;which和whose的区别;介词+which/whom引导的定语从句等。3.What’s wrong with you? / what’s the matter with you/ What’s up with you?等句型,在间接引语中的应用等。 第一部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分40分) 第一节:单项填空(共20小题:每小题1分,满分20分) 从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最正确选项。 1. In the end she decided to sell the house_______ windows were almost broken. A. which B. that C. of which D. whose 1答案:D 解析:windows和 house存在所有关系;若C项是“of which the...”,那么C项也对。 2. He isn’t such a man_______ he used to be. A. who B. whom C. that D. as 2答案:D 解析:“such...as”为固定搭配,类似的有 “the same...as”。 3. Is this the hospital _______you visited yesterday? A. who B. that C. where D. the one 3答案:B解析:定语从句先行词为hospital,所以首先排除A项;先行词在定语从句中作visit的宾语,所以排除C项。句中不缺少成分,所以排除D项。 4 Some of you may have finished unit one. _______, you can go on to unit two. A. If you may B. If you do C. If not D. If so 4【解析】选D。考查省略句式。句意:你们中的一些人也许已经完成了第一单元。如果这样的话, 可以继续完成第二单元。If so是省略形式。假如选择B项, 应改为If you have。 5. Is there anything ______to you? A. that belong B. which belong C. that belongs D. that is belonged 5答案:C解析:首先排除D项,因为belong 不用被动形式; 先行词anything 为不定代词,引导词,只能为that,不用which,所以排除B项; 先行词为单数,定语从句中谓语动词要用单数,可同时排除A、B两项。 6. _____has been said above, grammar is a set of dead rules. A. As B. That C. What D. Which 6答案:A解析:what不用作定语从句的引导词,首先排除C项; which引导的非限制性定语从句不放在句首,所以排除D项; 句意是 “正如上面所说,语法是一套死的规则”,as引导定语从句,可以放在句首,表 “正如……”。 7. I will show you a store_______ you may buy all ______you need. A. that; that B. which; that C. where; which D. in which; / 7答案:D 解析:先排除A、B两项,因为先行词store在定语从句中作地点状语;由于第二个定语从句的先行词all为不定代词,引导词只能用that,所以排除C项。 8. After graduating from high school, you will reach a point in your life __________you need to decide what to do. A. that B. what C. which D. Where 8【解析】选D。考查定语从句。where引导的定语从句修饰表示抽象地点意义的先行词point。常见的具有类似用法的先行词还有case, situation, activity, experiment等。 9. Books bring us into the presence of the greatest minds ________have ever lived. A. which B. who C. 不填 D. That 9.【解析】选D。考查定语从句。that have ever lived是定语从句, 修饰先行词minds。由于先行词前有最高级修饰, 所以只能用that引导。 10. After the adjustment of financial policies, many netizens put up posts, 90 percent ________ carried the message of approval. A. of which B. of whom C. of them D. of what 14. 【解析】选A。考查定语从句。由句子结构可知, 空格处所在的句子是定语从句, 该句中的先行词是posts, 这里应该表示90 percent of the posts carried the message of approval, 所以用of which结构。 11.—— Is everyone here? ——Not yet. Look, there_______ the rest of our guests! A. come B. comes C. is coming D. are coming 11【解析】选A。句意:—— 每个人都在这儿吗?——还没有。看,其余的客人来了。此题考查的是副词there放句首的倒装句,这种结构多用一般现在时或者一般过去时(不能用进行时态),所以排除用进行时的C和D项。同时根据空格后面的主语,我们应该用复数的谓语动词,所以选择A项。 【知识拓展】副词放句首的完全倒装句 There be句型 该结构中的be用表示“存在”的动词live, exist, lie, stand, seem, rise, remain, happen, come, go等替代。 There remains a certain doubt among the people as to the practical value of the project. Once upon a time, there lived an old fisherman in a village by the sea. 17. John’s success has nothing to do with good luck. It is years of hard work has made him what he is today. A. why B. when C. which D. that 12【解析】选D。这是“It is+被强调部分+that+其他”的强调结构,强调的是句子的主语years of hard work。句意为:约翰的成功与运气无关,是多年的努力让他取得了今天的地位。 13. — Her father is very rich. —________ She wouldn’t accept his help even if it were offered. A. What for? B. So what? C. No doubt. D. No wonder. 13.【解析】选B。考查情景交际。从后面的“即使她父亲给她提供了帮助,她也不会接受的。”可知,说话人对上句说话人所提到的“她的父亲很富有”这件事根本不屑一顾,故用so what? 意为“那又怎么样?”符合句子语境;what for为什么;为何目的; no doubt 无疑地,毫无疑问;no wonder 难怪。均不合题意。 14.I_______ have watched that movie —it’ll give me horrible dreams. A. shouldn’t B. needn’t C. couldn’t D. mustn’t 14【解析】选A。句意为:我本来不应该看那部电影的—它会使我做噩梦的。从后半句部分“看那部电影会给带来噩梦”可知,前部分语境应是后悔看了这部电影,shouldn’t have done意为“过去不应该做但实际上做某事”。needn’t have done 表示“过去没有必要做而实际上做了某事”;couldn’t have done 过去不可能做某过某事;must表示推测不可用于否定形式,故D项不存在。 【知识拓展】情态动词+have done在高考中经常考查的几个角度: (1)must have done sth. 过去肯定做过某事 (2)can’t/couldn’t have done sth. 过去不可能做过某事 (3)could have done sth. 过去本来能做某事 (3)should have done sth. 过去本来应该做某事 (4)shouldn’t have done sth. 过去本来不应做某事 (5)may/might have done sth. 过去可能(没有)做过某事 (6)needn’t have done sth. 过去没有必要做某事 15. Reading is______ good habit. Stick to it, and you’ll make ________great progress. A. a; / B. a; a C. the; a D. /; a 15【解析】选A。考查冠词。第一个空用a表示“一个”; progress是不可数名词, 故前面不加冠词, make progress意为“取得进步”。 16.. —Let’s discuss the question raised last night, shall we? —There is no hurry for that. I _______for a conference. A. headed B. was heading C. am heading D. have headed 16【解析】选C。考查时态。句意为:——我们讨论一下昨晚提出的问题, 好吗?——不必这么匆忙, 我要去开会。根据语境可知C项正确, 此处用现在进行时表示将来。 17.. —John and Lucia got married last week. Did you go to their wedding? —No, I __________a lecture in another city. A. gave B. have given C. had given D. was giving 17【解析】选D。考查时态。由语境可知在上周, 他们举行婚礼时, “我”正在另一个城市讲学, 因此用过去进行时, 表示在过去某段时间正在进行的动作。 A. The experiment has _______ the possibility of the existence of any life on that planet, but it does not mean there is no life on other planets. A. found out B. pointed out C. ruled out D. carried out 18【解析】选C。句意:这个试验已经排除了在那个行星上存在生命的可能性,但是这并不意味着其他行星上没有生命。此题考查动词短语的辨义:A.发现;B. 指出;C. 排除(可能性);D. 执行,开展。根据句意选择C项。www.jb1000 B. No matter how low you consider yourself , there is always someone _________you wishing they were that high. A. getting rid of B. getting along with C. looking up to D. looking down upon 19.【解析】选C。句意:不管你自认为自己是多么的渺小,总会有人敬仰你,希望他们像你那样高大。get rid of摆脱,除去,解脱;get along with 相处,进展;look up to 崇敬,敬仰;look down upon 歧视,看不起 。 20. It’s the first time that the leaders of BRIC(金砖四国) have met in Russia, __________? A. aren’t they B. haven’t they C. isn’t it D. hasn’t it 20【解析】选C。考查反意疑问句。在“It’s the first time that+从句”这个句型中, 反意疑问句的主语与助动词应与主句一致。因此C项正确。 第二节:完形填空(共20小题;第小题1分,满分20分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最正确答案。 On a Friday 21 , a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin.The music was 22 , and many people 23 and put some money into the 24 of the young man.

That’s what the Spring Festival is all about. But there are millions of people, too, who love to let happiness go up in smoke. Offering cigarettes to guests is a traditional Chinese way of showing respect to them. A cup of tea and cigarettes are perhaps the most common way of welcoming a guest in China, especially during festive occasions such as the Lunar New Year. No wonder, 40 percent of the people surveyed recently said they would smoke at least twice the usual number of cigarettes during the Spring Festival holiday because of all those gatherings and parties. Only 20 percent of the respondents said they would refuse a cigarette when offered one. Why can't the others do the same? Because they could be seen as being rude, said more than half of the respondents. Fifteen percent feared they could be taken as "someone who cannot get along well with others". percent Chinese think offering a cigarette is useful for socializing, and 52 percent have offered cigarettes to others. The study polled 3,800 people, 64 percent of them men. One-third of those polled were smokers, out of which 57 percent said they couldn't give up smoking because of the offering-and-accepting culture. "People have accepted offering cigarettes as an effective way of making friends." research center director Wu Yiqun says. China has more than 350 million smokers, catering to the tobacco market that is worth 500 billion yuan. "The survey shows we still have a lot of work to do," she says. "Since Beijing is trying to make the Olympic Games smoke-free, it is time to let people know that offering a cigarette is a bad habit and it should be given up immediately." 41.The passage is written with the purpose of . A.telling us a custom about the Chinese Spring Festival B.introducing a way to make friends with Chinese C.stopping smoking during the Beijing Olympics D.telling us that offering cigarettes is a bad habit 42.The third paragraph mainly tells us . A.the fact that smokers are greatly increasing during the festival B.the reason why refusing cigarettes is acceptable C.the fact that many people have to smoke more cigarettes during the festival D.it is rude to attend parties without smoking cigarettes 43.Which of the following may not be the reason that makes many people fail to refuse the offered cigarette? A.It’s impolite to refuse. B.Smoking is harmful to non-smokers. C.They want to be friendly. D.It’s a kind of social habit. 44.The writer mentions the 500 billion yuan tobacco market because . A.the tobacco market is not developing smoothly B.the writer thinks that smoking wasters a lot of money. C.smoking is helpful to the tobacco market D.the tobacco market attracts too many smokers 45.We can infer from the passage that . A.people will be free to smoke during the Beijing Olympic Games. B.only a few smokers still have the habit of offering cigarettes C.offering cigarettes is the most effective way for socializing D.some non-smokers will even accept the offered cigarettes 【解题导语】 春节期间到亲朋好友家做客,倒茶敬烟是一种被大多数人所接受,认可的待客礼仪。面对别人热情的敬烟,不同的人作出的反应又会如何? 【答案与简析】 41.D 主旨大意题。文章通过对生活事例及调查研究的结果告诉读者,吸烟是有害于健康的,因此向别人敬烟是一种坏习惯。 42.C 主旨大意题。根据第三段的数字和比例说明春节期间有很多人吸烟。 43.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Because they could seen as being rude, said more than half of the respondents. Fifteen percent…..is useful for socializing,以及第四段中的”they couldn’t give up smoking because of ……”可推知人们难以拒绝敬烟是因为他们认为offering-and-accepting是一种社交方式,拒绝就意味着不礼貌。 44.B 推理判断题。综关全文可知,作者对吸烟是持否定态度的,所以500 billion yuan意味着巨大的经济浪费。 45.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“they couldn’t give up smoking because of the offering-and-accepting culture和People have accepted offering cigarettes as an effect way of making friends.”可推知答案。人们认为接受井盐2是一种社交礼仪,故而不吸烟的人也会接受别人井盐2。 B Working AT home is increasing in popularity as a means of escaping from nine-to-five office life. Why work under the constant watch of your boss when you can work in front of the TV in your carpet slippers? Armed with all the office essentials—telephone, computer, e-mail and fax, many workers believe they can work as effectively as their colleagues in the office. Being able to work wherever you like: from a busy city to a beautiful village, and make working from home an attractive choice, you can even work on a canal boat, like one Internet firm in the Midlands, US. So what will become of the office of tomorrow? I believe it is likely that many could disappear into cyberspace. To minimize office overheads in inner-city areas, companies will apply a workforce made up of a network of home workers linked by an advanced communication and information system. A central processing computer would be controlled by the manager who sends out work schedules and oversees the activity of each employee. As a successor to the Web Cam, a video screen would be created, as the need for more natural form of interaction than e-mail or telephone becomes greater. Capturing the mood and expressions of work colleagues, managers would have the ability to view several employees at once on their screen. Employees would be encouraged to feed any information that may be useful to fellow workers into the computer to make the company work more effectively. As the company's life blood, the computer would contain a record of all conversations and correspondence for future reference, and hold confidential information such as accounts in password protected areas. In the office of tomorrow, with daily life captured in detail, the case for firing employees could be more clear cut. 46.The first paragraph mainly focuses on _________. A. the office to working at home B. preference to working at home C. working effectively in the office D. one Internet firm in the Midlands, UK 47.The office of the future will be ________. A. in space B. a network C. in inner-city areas D. a central processing computer 48.In Paragraph 2, the word “ oversee” probably means “_________”. A. overlook B. organize C. make out D. watch over 49.A video screen would be built because _________. A. the Web Cam needs it B. it is useful to fellow workers C. e-mail or telephone is out of date D. managers can clearly spot employees 50.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. You can get accounts without password. B. Computers would record workers’ blood types. C. You can get informationg of your fellow workers easily. D. Firing employees in the office of tomorrow could be largely reduced. 【解题导语】本文讲述的是在未来,你可以在家里利用网络办公的情况。 【答案与解析】 46.B 主旨归纳题。从第一段主题句及后面列举的情况可知人们越来越喜欢在家工作。 47.B 细节理解题。 根据第二段“To minimize office overheads in inner-city areas, companies will apply a workforce made up …….”可知,未来办公室将消失成虚拟的网络空间。 48.D 猜测词义题。根据第三段“Capturing the mood and expressions of work colleagures, managers would have the ability to……”判断,oversee在句中意为“监视(老板监视员工)。” 49.C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“….as the need for more natural form of contact than e-mail or telephone becomes greater”可知,人们越来越需要比e-mail或telephone更自然的联系方式。 50.C 细节判断题。根据第三段“Employees would be encouraged to feed any information that may be useful to……”可以推断,员工在未来虚拟办公室中信息高度共享,可随时使用fellow workers的资源,提高工作效率。 C A Full-Time School Called Life You are enrolled in a full-time school called “life”. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum. Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very ling time. What we and our ancestors have overlooked, however, is there is no one answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual. Each person has his or her own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else's. As you travel your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons that you will need to learn in order to fulfill that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is the key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and connection of your own life. As you travel through your lifetime, you may encounter challenging lessons that others don't have to face, while other spend years struggling with challenges that you don't need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer through bitter arguments and painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on for certain is that you will be presented with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn; whether you choose to learn them or not is entirely up to you. The challenge here, therefore, is to align(与…保持一致)yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will be faced with in your lifetime, as sometimes your path will be completely different from others. But, remember, don't compare your path to the people around you and focus on the difference between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only be faced with lessons that you are capable of learning and are specific to your own growth. Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equity—the assumption that all things are equal and that justice will always prevail. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult lift path than others around you, deserved or not. Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. If you want to move toward calm, you will be required to move out of the comparing phase of “it’s not fair”. Focusing on the unfairness of circumstances keeps you comparing yourself with others rather than appreciating your own special uniqueness. You miss out on learning your individual lessons by distracting yourself with feelings of bitterness and anger. 51.According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized? A.Having the same opinions as others. B.Taking the distinct path from others. C.Learning the lessons presented to you. D.Doing the different things from others. 52.From the passage we can conclude . A.everyone has his own track to follow B.the same things usually happen to the peers C.a painful divorce must lie in financial problems D.a wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage 53.In your lifetime, the lessons you are faced with . A.are beyond your power B.keep you from growth C.limit your development D.help you with your success 54.Which of the following is TRUE? A.All things are equal and justice will always prevail. B.You should learn to appreciate your specific uniqueness. C.One has to fix his mind on unfairness of circumstances. D.You have to complain “it’s not fair” whenever possible. 55.Life is called a full – time school, because . A.it is full of all lessons to learn B.you have plenty of time to learn lessons C.you meet with specific lessons every day D.there are so many subjects for you to choose 【解题导语】 本文谈论了每个人的人生轨迹是不同的,我们应该面对自己应该面对的,不怨天尤人,不自怨自艾,做自己的路,实现自己的人生价值。 【答案及简析】 51.C 细节理解题。根据第三段“The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning……”可知答案。 52. A 推理判断题。根据第三段“Each person has his or her own…..”可知答案。 53.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“You need to remember that you will only be faced with lessons that you are capable of……”可排除A;根据第三段“leaning these lessons is the key to …….”可知B和C不对. 54.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Focusing on the unfairness of circumstances keeps you comparing yourself with others rather than…..”可知答案。 55.C 综合理解题。综观全文可得出此答案。 D Students are being forced to take additional exams to get into leading universities because good A-levels do not always indicate the brightest candidates. Sixth-formers applying to courses such as medicine and law are being asked to sit American-style aptitude(智能)tests, which are designed to assess(评价)thinking skills, among fears that too many A-level candidates are getting top grades. Last year, almost one in six students applying to universities such as Oxford and Cambridge from independent schools had to sit additional test to secure a place. Head teachers criticized the move, which they said would pile more pressure on schools and students. But universities insisted that the reforms were unavoidable, because A-level exams were no longer an accurate barometer(标准)of ability. In 1986, 40 percent of students starting at Oxford achieved straight. As at A-level, Mike Nicholson, its admissions director, said that this year almost every candidate offered a place would get perfect grades. It meant the university had to stage additional test to identify the most able candidates. “The ability to achieve three A grades is no longer the end-point in the admissions process,” he said. “The potential to achieved three A grades will allow them to enter the race for a place.” Oxford is not the only university turning to aptitude tests. At Cambridge, the number of students taking the university’s Thinking Skills Assessment shot up 26 percent to more than 3,000. A survey of 16,830 sixth formers applying to higher education from private schools last year showed that 2,860 had to sit at least one exam. Earlier this year, the National Foundation for Educational Research recommended that most sixth formers should sit SAT tests — a standard reasoning exam widely used in American colleges —to make it easier to pick out the best candidates. 56.What is the attitude of head teachers to the reform? A. Approving. B. Doubtful. C. Opposed. D. Neutral(中立的) 57.Which British university first started to use aptitude tests to pick out the best candidates? A. Harvard. B. Oxford. C. Cambridge. D. Washington D.C. 58.What can we know about the A-level system? A. It can indicate the brightest candidates. B. It was designed to assess students’ thinking abilities. C. It is longer an accurate way to assess students’ abilities. D. It was recommended by the National Foundation for Educational Research. 59.What can we infer from the passage? A. The reform is more popular in American colleges than in British ones. B. The reform will be applied by all universities in the future. C. Universities used to depend on the A-level system to choose the best students. D.

Now I am writing to tell you why I am the only child in my family. As you know, the population of China is growing very fast. In order to control the rapid increase of population, in the 1980s the government of China began to put into practice the family programme---- one child for each couple. As a result, most families have only one child. The child in the family can get more love from the family and chances to get better education. On the other hand, the only child is selfish, and not so independent. Sometimes they feel lonely. I think, every the only child like me should learn to make more friends. Hope that we write more often. Best wishes!查看更多
