2020届一轮复习人教版必修一Unit2English around the world单元学案 As British accent makes a speaker sound like a lady or a gentleman, so many people want to learn how to talk like the British. If you want to talk like the British, say “Cheers” rather than “Thanks” in informal (非正式的) conversations. Before I came to the U.K., I only knew the meaning of “cheer” as “to make someone happy or excited” as in the phrase “cheer up”. After I came to the U.K., I noticed that they used “Cheers” much more often than “Thanks”. For example, in the U.K., when people get off the bus, they would say “Cheers” with a strong British accent to thank the driver. Besides, my British roommate also said “Cheers” to me when she asked me to pass something to her when we were cooking together. “Cheers” is frequently used by the British people in daily informal conversations for small favors, such as opening doors for you or lending you a pen. It is not as formal as “Thanks” or “Thank you”, but is used rather frequently in daily conversations. Chinese students were taught at school that when a customer (顾客) went to a store, shop assistants would ask “What can I do for you?” However, I never heard the exact same expression when I was in the U.K. No shop assistants would greet and follow customers around as in China. Only when customers asked for help or looked like lost would shop assistants come up to them and ask “Are you all right?” It seemed like they were going to provide help, but customers would normally say “Yeah, thanks.” unless they really needed help. Interestingly, when I heard “Are you all right?” for the first time, I didn't know how to answer it and even explained that I was just looking around and I didn't need help. How embarrassing (尴尬的) it was! Section_Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading — Prereading [原文呈现] [读文清障] THE ROAD TO MODERN ENGLISH At the end of① the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke English. Nearly② all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages③ to conquer④ other parts of the world and because of⑤ that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before. Native⑥ English speakers can understand each other even if they don't speak the same kind of English⑦. Look at this example: British Betty: Would you like to see my flat? American Amy: Yes. I'd like to⑧ come up⑨ to your apartment○10. ①at the end of在……尽头;在……结束时 ②nearly adv.几乎;接近;差不多 ③voyage ['vɔIIdʒ] n.航行;航海 make a voyage/voyages to航海/航行去…… ④conquer ['kɒŋkə(r)] vt.征服;占领 ⑤because of因为;由于 ⑥native ['neItIv] adj.本国的;本地的n.本地人;本国人 be native to原产于(=be home to) ⑦even if=even though“即使”,引导让步状语从句。 ⑧would like to do sth.想要做某事 ⑨come up走近;上来;被提出 ○10apartment [ə'pɑːtmənt] n.〈美〉公寓住宅;单元住宅 flat〈英〉公寓套房 通向现代英语之路 [第1~4段译文] 16世纪末,大约有500万到700万人说英语。这些人几乎都生活在英国。后来,在17世纪,英国人开始出海远航以征服世界其他地区。于是,许多别的国家开始说英语。如今,说英语的人比以往任何时候都多,有的作为第一语言来说,有的作为第二语言或一门外语。 以英语作为母语的人,即使他们所讲的语言不尽相同,也可以相互理解。请看这个例子: 英国人贝蒂:你想看一下我的公寓吗? 美国人艾米:好的,我很乐意到你的公寓去。 So why has English changed over time⑪? Actually⑫ all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with⑬ each other⑭. At first the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150⑮ was very different from⑯ the English spoken today. It was based⑰ more on German than the English we speak at present⑱. Then gradually⑲ between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled⑳ England spoke first Danish○21 and later French. These new settlers enriched○22 the English language and especially○23 its vocabulary○24. So by the 1600's Shakespeare was able to make use of○25 a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too. English began to be spoken in both countries. ⑪over time=as time goes by随着时间的推移 ⑫actually ['æktʃʊəlI] adv.实际上;事实上 in fact事实上;实际上 ⑬communicate with sb.与某人交流 ⑭when引导时间状语从句,从句中and连接两个并列的谓语动词meet和communicate。 ⑮过去分词短语spoken ...作后置定语,修饰the English。 ⑯be different from与……不同 ⑰base [beIs] vt.以……为根据n.基部;基地;基础 be based on 以……为基础 ⑱we speak at present为定语从句,修饰先行词the English,从句中省略了关系代词that/which。 at present现在;目前 ⑲gradually ['ɡrædʒʊəlI] adv.逐渐地;逐步地 gradual ['ɡrædʒʊəl] adj.逐渐的;逐步的 ⑳rule vt.统治n.规则 ○21Danish ['deInIʃ] n.丹麦语adj.丹麦的;丹麦人的;丹麦语的 ○22enrich [In'rItʃ] vt.使富裕;充实;改善 en是一个常见的构成及物动词的前缀。如:enlarge使扩大。 ○23especially adv.尤其;特别 ○24vocabulary [və'kæbjʊlərI] n.词汇;词汇量;词表 ○25make use of利用;使用 [第5段译文] 那么,随着时间的推移,英语为什么会变化呢?事实上,当不同文化互相交流渗透时,所有的语言都会有所变化、有所发展。起初,大约在公元450年到公元1150年之间,英国人所说的英语与人们现在所说的英语有很大的不同。当时的英语更多地是以德语为基础,而我们今天所说的英语不是。然后,渐渐地,大约在公元800年到公元1150年之间,英语就不那么像德语了,因为那些统治英国的人开始讲丹麦语,后来又讲法语。这些新的定居者丰富了英语语言,尤其是英语词汇。所以到17世纪,莎士比亚所用的词汇量比以前任何时期都大。1620年一些英国移民到了美国。后来在18世纪,也有一些英国人被带到了澳大利亚。(于是)这两个国家的人开始说英语了。 Finally by the 19th century the language was settled○26. At that time two big changes in English spelling○27 happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English Language. The latter○28 gave a separate identity○29 to American English spelling. English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has a very large number of fluent○30 English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language for government and education. English is also spoken in Singapore○31 and Malaysia○32 and countries in Africa such as○33 South Africa. Today the number of○34 people learning English in China○35 is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners. Will Chinese English develop its own identity? Only time will tell. ○26settle v.确定;解决;定居 ○27spelling ['spelIŋ] n.拼写;拼法 ○28latter ['lætə] adj.较后的;后半的;(两者中)后者的 the former ... the latter ...前者……后者…… ○29identity [aI'dentətI] n.本身;本体;身份;特征 identity card身份证 ○30fluent ['fluːənt] adj.流利的;流畅的 be fluent in在……方面流利的 ○31Singapore [ˌsIŋə'pɔː(r)] n.新加坡(东南亚国家) ○32Malaysia [mə'leIzIə] n.马来西亚(东南亚国家);马来群岛 ○33such as例如……;像这种的 ○34the number of ...……的数量/数目,“the number of+复数名词”作主语时,句子的谓语动词用单数。 a number of许多;大量,“a number of+复数名词”作主语时,句子的谓语动词用复数。 ○35learning English in China为现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰people。 [第6~7段译文] 最后到19世纪这种语言定型了。那时,英语在拼写上发生了两大变化:首先塞缪尔•约翰逊编写了一本词典,后来,诺厄•韦伯斯特编纂了《美国英语词典》。后者体现了美式英语拼写的不同特征。 如今英语在南亚也被当作一门外语或第二语言来使用。例如,印度拥有众多英语讲得十分流利的人,这是因为英国从1765年到1947年统治着印度。在那期间,英语成了官方语言和教育用语。在新加坡、马来西亚和非洲的一些国家,例如南非,人们也说英语。如今学英语的中国人在迅速增多。事实上,中国或许是世界上英语学习者最多的国家。将来中式英语会不会形成自己的特征呢?这个问题只能由时间来回答了。 Prereading Please match the words with their proper meanings. 1.official adj.

The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening. Read as much as you can.But your reading must be active.It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc.There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come_across,_but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it. As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes.You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening.Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say.This never means that you should not practice listening. For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children.Their languages are easy.Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day.Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes. If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically (自动地), and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect. 语篇解读:如果你要想学好英语,应该掌握其四种技能:听、说、读、写。读与听是学好英语的关键。 1.According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?

A.meet by accident B.discover C.find on purpose D.look for 解析:选A 词义猜测题。此处是告诉读者没有必要去理解遇到的所有的不熟悉的单词,由此推知come across指“偶然遇到”。 3.The author seems to agree with the view that ________. A.everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day B.you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every day C.being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening D.you should take notes of whatever you are hearing 解析:选C 推理判断题。由第三段第二句可知,作者认为多阅读有助于提高听力。 4.The passage is mainly about how to ________. A.choose suitable listening materials B.deal with new words in reading C.improve your English as quickly as possible D.become fluent in speaking and writing English 解析:选D 主旨大意题。文章第一句话便点明主题,接着用大量篇幅阐述了如何通过提高阅读和听力技能,从而带动说和写的技能,成为a fluent English speaker。 B Kyle Schwartz, a new teacher at Doull Elementary School in Denver, teaches a thirdgrade class. Most of her students come from underprivileged homes, as 92 percent are entitled (给予权利) to free or reduced school lunches, she said. “As a new teacher, I tried to understand my students' real lives and how to best support them. I just felt like there was something I didn't know about my students,”she said. To solve this problem, she asked her students to complete the sentence:“I wish my teacher knew ...” While some children used the notes to jokingly complain (抱怨) about homework or to ask for more playtime, Ms Schwartz said some of the answers were “heartbreaking”, as children showed their hard lives. One student told Ms Schwartz that he did not have any pencils at home, while another said that they hadn't seen their father for six years. And another student wrote, “I wish my teacher knew sometimes my homework is not signed (签字) because my mom is not around a lot.” She posted them to Twitter in March with the hashtag #IWishMyTeacherKnew. Teachers on Twitter soon noticed how successful Ms Schwartz's trick (策略) was for reaching out to students, and began sharing similar notes they received alongside #IWishMyTeacherKnew. Ms Schwartz said that since she encouraged her students to share their secrets, students have been supporting each other more, and she hopes the method will connect students and their families with the proper resources (资源) they need to live comfortably. She added that the results have been surprising, and the student that said she didn't have anyone to play with has since been invited by classmates to join them in the school playground. 语篇解读:本文是记叙文。一位老师为了更好地了解自己的学生让他们把想对老师说的话写在纸条上。 5.What does the underlined word “underprivileged” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A.Comfortable. B.Happy. C.Broken. D.Poor 解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据下文中的“92 percent are entitled to free or reduced school lunches”可知,Kyle的大部分学生家庭条件都不好。 6.Why did Kyle ask her students to complete the sentence? A.To better understand them. B.To encourage their creativity. C.To develop their writing skills. D.To teach them to introduce themselves. 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As a new teacher, I tried to understand my students' real lives ... she asked her students to complete the sentence”可知,为了更好地了解自己的学生,Kyle让她的学生把想跟老师说的话写在纸条上。 7.What were the attitudes of teachers on Twitter to Kyle's idea? A.Uncaring. B.Worried. C.Surprised. D.Supportive. 解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Teachers on Twitter soon noticed how successful Ms Schwartz's trick (策略) was ... notes they received”可知,老师们赞同Kyle的想法。 8.How did Kyle look at her trick? A.It was difficult for her students. B.It might upset some students. C.It helped her students in many ways. D.It would improve her school's environment. 解析:选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Ms Schwartz said ... students have been supporting each other more”及“the student that said ... been invited by classmates to join them in the school playground”可知,Kyle认为她的做法让学生们受益匪浅。 C English has surely become the global language.Whenever we turn on the news to find out what's happening in East Asia, or Africa, or anywhere, people are being interviewed and telling us about it in English. If people look at the facts about the amazing reach of the English language, many would be surprised.English is used in over 90 countries as an official or semiofficial language.English is the working language of many international institutes (研究所) as well as of most international research scientists.It is also the language that Indian parents and black parents wish their children to learn.It is believed that over one billion people worldwide are now learning English. One of the most important causes of the spread of English around the world is that Europeans are willing to accept it as their language.English is spreading from northern Europe to the south and is now the second language in countries such as Sweden, Norway, Netherlands and Denmark.If one visits any of them, it would seem that almost everyone there can talk in English. Recently, a report said that at the beginning of 2001, English was the most widely known foreign language with 43% of Europeans saying they spoke it.The report also said that with over 89% of the population speaking English,Sweden now has the highest percentage of English speakers.What's more, English is the language rated as most useful to know, and over 77% of Europeans who do not speak English as their first language consider it useful. 语篇解读:本文是说明文,主要讲述了英语在世界上的广泛使用。 9.By writing this passage, the writer mainly wants to tell us ________. A.why so many people speak English around the world B.that English has become a language spoken all over the world C.about the development of English in Europe D.something about the Englishspeaking countries 解析:选B 主旨大意题。根据本文的第一句“English has surely become the global language.”以及后文的具体描述可知,作者主要想告诉我们,英语是目前世界的通用语言。 10.According to the passage, what has played an important role in spreading English around the world? A.That governments have asked their people to learn it in school. B.That English is the most beautiful language in the world. C.That Europeans are willing to accept English as their language. D.That people have to use English in their work. 解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段的“One of the most important causes of the spread of English around the world is that Europeans are willing to accept it as their language.”可知C正确。 11.What does the underlined word “rated” in the last paragraph mean? A.Stood. B.Agreed. C.Considered. D.Argued. 解析:选C 词义猜测题。根据语境以及最后一句的“consider it useful”可知,rate在这里意为“认为;看作”。 12.What can we learn from the passage? A.Black parents don't want their children to learn English. B.English is used in over 90 countries as an official language. C.Not all international research scientists speak English at work. D.English has become the most important language in Sweden. 解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段的“English is the working language ...as well as of most international research scientists.”可知,并不是所有的国际研究科学人员工作时都使用英语。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Once there was a very poor villager.

Is it spoken in Britain, the US, Canada, Australia, India and New Zealand? Believe it or not②, there is no such③ thing as④ standard English. Many people believe the English spoken on TV⑤ and the radio⑥ is standard English. This is because in the early days of radio, those who reported the news⑦ were expected⑧ to speak excellent English. However, on TV and the radio you will hear differences in the way people speak⑨. When people use words and expressions○10 different from the “standard language”⑪, it is called a dialect⑫. American English has many dialects, especially the midwestern⑬, southern⑭, African American and Spanish dialects. Even in some parts of the USA, two people from neighbouring⑮ towns speak a little differently. American English has so many dialects because people have come from all over⑯ the world. ①standard adj.标准的;普通的n.标准;规格 ②believe it or not信不信由你 ③such adj.如此的;这样的 ④as表示“像……一样” ⑤on TV在电视上 ⑥过去分词短语spoken on TV and the radio作后置定语,修饰the English。 ⑦who引导定语从句,修饰先行词those。 ⑧expect vt.盼望;预期;预料 ⑨people speak为定语从句,修饰the way。省略了作状语的引导词that/in which。 ○10expression [Ik'spreʃn] n.词语;表示;表达 ⑪形容词短语different from the “standard language”作后置定语,修饰其前面的words and expressions。 ⑫dialect ['daIəlekt] n.方言 ⑬midwestern [mId'westən] adj.中西部的;有中西部特性的 ⑭southern adj.南方的;南部的 ⑮neighbouring adj.附近的;毗邻的(只作前置定语) ⑯all over遍及;到处 标准英语和方言 [第1~2段译文] 什么是标准英语?是英国、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、印度和新西兰人所说的英语吗?信不信由你,(世界上)没有什么标准英语。许多人认为,电视上和收音机里(播音员)所说的就是标准英语。这是因为在早期的电台节目里,人们期望新闻播音员英语说得很好。然而,在电视和收音机里,你也会听出人们的说话方式是有差别的。 当人们用不同于“标准语言”的单词和表达方式时,那种语言就被称为方言。美式英语有许多方言,特别是中西部和南部地区的方言,以及美国黑人和西班牙人的方言。甚至在美国的一些地区,相邻两个城镇的人所说的方言也稍有不同。美式英语之所以有这么多的方言是因为那里的人来自世界各地。 Geography also plays a part in⑰ making dialects. Some people who⑱ live in the mountains of the eastern⑲ USA speak with an older kind of English dialect. When Americans moved from one place to another, they took their dialects with them. So people from the mountains in the southeastern⑳ USA speak with almost the same dialect as○21 people in the northwestern○22 USA. The USA is a large country in which many different dialects are spoken○23. Although many Americans move a lot, they still recognize○24 and understand each other's dialects. ⑰play a part (in)扮演一个角色;参与 ⑱who引导定语从句,修饰先行词Some people。 ⑲eastern ['iːstən] adj.东方的;东部的 ⑳southeastern [ˌsaʊθ'iːstən] adj.东南方的;来自东南的 ○21the same ... as ...和……一样的…… ○22northwestern [ˌnɔːθ'westən] adj.西北方的;来自西北的 ○23in which引导定语从句,从句修饰a large country。 ○24recognize ['rekəɡnaIz] vt.辨认出;承认;公认 [第3段译文] 地理位置对方言的产生也有影响。住在美国东部山区的一些人就说着一种比较古老的英语方言。当美国人从一个地方搬到另一个地方时,他们也就把他们的方言带了过去。因此,美国东南部山区的人同美国西北部地区的人所说的方言几乎是一样的。美国是一个使用多种不同方言的大国。虽然许多美国人经常搬迁,但是他们仍然能够辨别并且理解彼此的方言。 Choose the best answers according to the text. 1.From the text, we know that ________ is standard English.

Let's have a look. People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants. Sometimes, people may get caught with their pants down. They are found doing something they should not be doing. And, in every family, one person takes control. Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do. Then we say she wears the pants in the family. Pants usually have pockets to hold things. Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket. Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants. If you have less money than usual, you may have to tighten your belt. I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much. I really take my hat off to them. Yet, when it comes to my own money, I spend it at the drop of a hat, which means I instantly spend it. Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes. People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are. I dislike such people. My father is an important person. He runs a big company. He wears a suit and tie, and a shirt with sleeves that cover his arms. Some people who do not know him well think he is too serious and never shows his feelings openly. But I know that my father wears his heart on his sleeve. 语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一些与衣服有关的英语习语。 1.What is this passage mainly about? A.What pants mean in English. B.Some special English expressions.

The_Students'_Union Sept._10 At present, a very large number of Chinese people come up to Ghana because of the attraction of gold. With the dream of becoming rich, they usually make a hard voyage to arrive there because it is not official. However, there is no such thing as free lunch in the world. Although they try to make full use of every minute to dig for gold, actually few of them succeed. On the contrary, they are often faced with frequent robbery from the natives there. Some people lost their lives even if they shouldn't have been killed. Gradually, more than one of them recognized that gold could not play the most important part in their life. So some of them have been back home at the request of their family. 目前,有很多中国人因为淘金来到加纳。带着发财的梦想,他们通常会历经艰难的航程才到达那里,因为这并非是官方允许的。然而,天下没有免费的午餐。尽管他们充分利用每一分钟去淘金,而事实上却很少有人成功。相反,他们经常面临当地人的频繁抢劫。尽管他们不该杀,有些人还是失去了生命。逐渐地,很多人意识到金子不该是他们生活中最重要的,所以他们中有些人已经在家人的请求下回家了。 加餐练(一) 完形阅读组合练 Ⅰ.完形填空 “Fire!

Talking to a tenthcentury Englishman, you'd probably only be able to understand a few words like “a” or “the”.Only about onesixth of today's English words have an Old English root (词根), with the rest having foreign influences. Gradually Old English turned into the Middle English that Chaucer wrote in — but still the official language of England was French! It was only in 1362, during Chaucer's lifetime, that English was used at the opening of Parliament (议会) for the first time. During the same year a law called the “Statute of Pleading” was passed, making English the official language in Parliament. In 1399, King Henry Ⅳ became the first king of England after the Norman Conquest whose mother tongue was English. English was still a language of low status (地位)— especially when it came to writing poetry (诗歌). During the 14th century, the Italians and French were creative. Great poets like Dante were writing in totally new ways. But English had no such great writers. This was where Chaucer made a difference. He took the language of the man in the street and turned it into many famous works, such as The Canterbury Tales. Chaucer proved poetry written in English could be every bit as good as books in French. Of course, the English language has continued to change since Chaucer's day. For example, Shakespeare's English is quite different from Chaucer's. And it is still changing now. Until just a few years ago, “C U L8R” (see you later) was just a set of letters and numbers, but now most people know what it means! 语篇解读:本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了英语语言从古英语到现代英语的变迁。 1.What happened during Chaucer's lifetime? A.Old English began to turn into the Middle English. B.English's status was greatly improved. C.English was used only in parliament. D.English kings usually spoke English. 解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It was only in 1362 ... making English the official language in Parliament.”可知,在乔叟时代,英语的地位得到显著提高。 2.Why was Chaucer so great? A.He first used formal English to write. B.He had a big influence on poets like Dante. C.He was a pioneer in writing English poems. D.He encouraged people to read books in French. 解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This was where Chaucer made a difference ... as good as books in French.”可知,乔叟是用英语创作诗歌的先驱。 3.Why did the author give the example of Shakespeare's English? A.To explain English is always changing. B.To explain how the Middle English changed. C.To show Shakespeare's English is unusual. D.To show how people respond to new words. 解析:选A 推理判断题。最后一段主题句是首句“the English language has continued to change”,作者举这个例子是为了说明英语一直在变化。 4.How is the text developed? A.By space. B.By comparison. C.By importance. D.By time. 解析:选D 推理判断题。分析全文结构及文中的1362、1399、now可知,本文是按照时间顺序展开的。 加餐练(二) 主观题规范增分练 Ⅰ.语法填空 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 What would you do if you failed?

Text 10 It was my 21st birthday and I wanted to have an unforgettable night. So I arranged to have a party at this famous hotel. It was a warm evening in the middle of August, but because it was raining heavily outside we had to stay in the hotel all night. There were a lot of guests at the party and the room was packed. I was dancing when I saw the smoke. People began to panic, but there were so many of us that we couldn't get out quickly. Soon the room was full of smoke. I managed to open a window and get out of the burning building. The fire fighters arrived shortly after, but it took a long time for them to put out the fire. Luckily, all the guests got out in time. Some of them had to go to hospital because of burns and breathing problems. Fortunately, the fire fighters had put out the fire before it spread to the rest of the hotel. However, the room where the party was held, was completely destroyed. I was told later that it was because the building had been struck by lightning. Can you believe it? 第二部分 阅读理解 (满分40分,限时35分钟) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A My favorite book is Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie Brink. It's about a 10yearold girl in the 1860s. Her mom wants her to be a perfect little lady, but Caddie has different ideas. Unlike many other girls, she likes to catch snakes, go swimming, and work in the fields. She makes friends with the neighboring Indians. You should read the book. Lenaya, Age 15 Senegal My favorite book is Who Was Abraham Lincoln? by Janet Pascal. It is about Abraham Lincoln. He grew up poor, told funny jokes, and then became President. He led the North during the Civil War, and the North won. After the war, slavery (奴隶制) was ended. I liked learning about the war and Abraham Lincoln. Sam, Age 16 New Jersey My favorite books are The Hardy Boys books by Franklin W. Dixon. My mom and dad had some when they were kids. I love them because they're filled with mystery (神秘), action, and fun. They are about two boys, Frank and Joe. The two boys unlock more than 50 mysteries. George, Age 16 Arkanss My favorite book is Judy Moody and the Bad Luck Charm by Megan McDonald. It's about a third grader who has a goodluck penny, but she loses it. She is lucky enough to find it, but the luck is gone! Annie, Age 15 Ohio 语篇解读:本文是应用文。文章介绍了四位读者各自最喜欢的书籍。 21.In the book Caddie Woodlawn, Caddie ________. A.hopes to grow into a perfect lady B.acts quite differently from other girls C.has to work long hours in the fields D.has a bad relation with her neighbors 解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Caddie has different ideas. Unlike many other girls, she likes to catch snakes, go swimming, and work in the fields”可知, Caddie的爱好和其他女孩不太相同,表现得不一样。 22.One reason why George likes The Hardy Boys books is that ________. A.they were written by a famous author B.they are what his parents chose for him C.they include things that are hard to explain D.they are about two boys of the same age as him 解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I love them because they're filled with mystery (神秘)”可知,George喜欢《哈迪男孩》系列书中的悬疑。 23.Who is probably interested in history? A.Sam. B.Annie. C.George. D.Lenaya. 解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I liked learning about the war and Abraham Lincoln.”可推测,Sam可能对历史题材的书籍比较感兴趣。 B The English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions. One such example is the word matter. In fact, matter can mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language. Let's get to the heart of the matter — a matter of principle (原则). If someone says that you owe (欠) him $50, but you don't, a friend might say,“Well, you could pay him the $50. It's not that much money. Then you won't have to hear him say it anymore.” But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. It's a matter of principle. There is another way to use the word matter. But be careful with your choice of words. If you ask someone, “What's the matter?”, it shows you are worried about the other person. But saying, “What's the matter with you?” has a completely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude (粗鲁的). In fact, when you say, “What's the matter with you?”, you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid. Another expression that could sound rude is to say, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it depends on the context,_and how you say it. Let's say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it means he or she does not care. And it sounds rude. But saying,“Oh, you pick where we eat dinner. It doesn't matter to me.” does not sound rude. In this situation, “it doesn't matter” shows you are easygoing (随和的). No matter how you look at it and what you say, matter is a very useful word. And it's only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter. 语篇解读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了matter一词的诸多用法。 24.We can infer from the text that the word matter ________. A.has a wide use B.can mean money C.is the most used English word D.has the most different expressions 解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第一、二段的描述可知,matter一词用法很广。 25.What is the author's suggestion in Paragraph 4? A.Every penny counts. B.Stick to what is right. C.Follow your friend's advice. D.Be careful when making friends. 解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. It's a matter of principle.”可推测,作者认为钱的数目不重要,重要的是原则问题。因此他觉得在对的事情上要坚持自己的立场,不要轻易做出让步或改变。 26.The underlined word “context” in the text probably means “________”. A.choice B.person C.situation D.answer 解析:选C 词义猜测题。根据倒数第二、三段举例说明“It doesn't matter to me.”在不同的语境意思不同可知,该表达取决于上下文语境,故选situation。 27.The author develops the text mainly by ________. A.using examples B.giving instructions C.describing his experiences D.discussing research findings 解析:选A 写作手法题。根据文中用不同的例子来讲解matter的用法可知,作者主要是通过举例来展开全文的。 C LEGO began as one man's small business. But today, it is the second largest toy company in the world. The LEGO company sells small, brightly colored plastic bricks (积木). People can buy LEGO bricks in over 90 countries. Ole Kirk Kristiansen from Denmark began his own business in 1932. He made products (产品) from wood including colorful wooden toys. Kristiansen's young son, Godtfred, worked with him. Their business helped them make a lot of money. By 1934, the Kristiansens named their company LEGO, which came from two Danish words,“leg” and “godt”, meaning “play well”. The LEGO company grew slowly. But it continued to create excellent wooden toys. By 1947, the LEGO company began using a new material (材料) to make their toys — plastic. One of the toys they sold was called the Automatic Binding Brick. A person could put the bricks together to build something. But the bricks did not hold together easily. Still, they were a popular toy. A few years later, in 1954, Godtfred Kirk Kristiansen had a big idea. He wanted all of the LEGO bricks to fit together. Finally, four years later, in 1958, the LEGO company found their answer. They invented the first modern style LEGO brick, which was similar to the Automatic Binding Brick but each piece would fit with any other piece. Since that time, any toy that the LEGO company created would fit with any other toy they created. Today, LEGO is not only the second largest toy maker in the world, but also making its products a great way for children to learn creative building skills. 语篇解读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了丹麦知名玩具品牌乐高的发展历程。 28.When the LEGO company was set up, it ________. A.had a rapid growth B.failed to attract children C.was small but successful D.invited children to work with it 解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“LEGO began as one man's small business.”和第二段中的“Their business helped them make a lot of money.”可推测,乐高公司在创立初期虽然规模不大但很成功。 29.What do we know about the Automatic Binding Brick? A.It was liked by few people. B.It was the best of its kind. C.It was made of wood. D.It was a building toy. 解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“A person could put the bricks together to build something.”可知,Automatic Binding Brick是一种拼装积木。 30.The first modern style LEGO brick ________. A.fit together perfectly B.was invented in the early 1950s C.was created by Godtfred and his father D.differed greatly from the Automatic Binding Brick 解析:选A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“the first modern style LEGO brick ... each piece would fit with any other piece”可知,现代的乐高积木可以彼此完全贴合,从而组装成一个整体。 31.What's the best title for the text? A.LEGO: Play Well B.LEGO: Educational Toys C.Toy Companies: From Small to Big D.Toy Companies: Never Too Late to Create 解析:选A 标题归纳题。文章介绍了知名积木玩具乐高的相关知识,而且LEGO在丹麦语中意为“玩得好”。因此A项作标题既概括了文章主旨也表达了乐高的宗旨。 D This is the plastic tube (管子) that holds the ink. If you took this tube away from the pen what would happen? My students look at me as if they can't believe I'm asking such a stupid question. Man, you wouldn't be able to write. OK. Now what is this I'm holding in my hand? Again the patient look. That's a spring (弹簧), man. And what would happen if we took the spring away? The pen wouldn't work. Now look at what I'm writing on the blackboard. “The spring makes the pen work.” What is the subject of this sentence? In other words, what are we talking about in this sentence? The pen. No, no, no. There's an action word here. It's called a verb. What is it? Oh, yeah. The spring. No, no, no. The spring is a thing. Yeah, yeah. The spring is a thing. Hey, man. That's poetry (诗歌). So, what does the spring do? Makes the pen work. Good. The spring does the action. We're talking about the spring, right? They look doubtful. Suppose we say, “The pen makes the spring work.” Would that be right? No. The spring makes the pen work. Anyone can see that. So, what is the action word? Makes. Right. And what word uses the action word? Spring. So you can see how a ballpoint pen is like a sentence. It needs something to make it work. It needs action, a verb. Can you see that? They said they could. The headmaster, making notes in the back of the room, looked puzzled (困惑的). After class he said he could understand the connection I was making between structure (结构) of pen and structure of sentence. He wasn't sure if I had succeeded in getting that across to the kids but still, it was new and imaginative. He was sure, if some of his experienced English teachers tried it they'd improve on it, but it was a pretty good idea. 语篇解读:本文是记叙文。作者在文中主要讲述了自己教授的一堂语法课。 32.How did the students react to the author's first question? A.Doubtfully. B.Interestedly. C.Impatiently. D.Surprisedly. 解析:选D 细节理解题。作者在首段问完学生第一个问题时,他们的反应是“as if they can't believe I'm asking such a stupid question,”而且紧接着就说出问题的答案“you wouldn't be able to write”。由此可知,学生对作者的第一个问题感到非常惊讶。 33.What was the author probably teaching in class? A.Poetry. B.Science. C.Grammar. D.Writing. 解析:选C 推理判断题。根据文中的“What is the subject of this sentence?”和“There's an action word here. It's called a verb.”以及“what is the action word”和“what word uses the action word”可知,作者在解释句子的结构,因此是在上语法课。 34.Why did the author use the pen in class? A.To help him teach. B.To check students' work. C.To make notes on something. D.To show students how it works. 解析:选A 推理判断题。作者向学生展示圆珠笔的工作原理是为了引出句子结构关系,因此用它是为了帮助课堂教学,便于学生直观理解。 35.What did the headmaster think of the author's teaching? A.It was creative. B.It was unsuccessful. C.It was easy to understand. D.It was useless in the classroom. 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据校长在最后一段中说的“it was new and imaginative”和“it was a pretty good idea”可知,他认为作者的这堂课很新颖。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Teenagers earning money In the United States, you can only get a fulltime job if you are 16 years old or older.
