2020届人教版高考英语必修四课堂要点精析讲义：Unit3单元小结

Up to now, Li Hua has been badly off because he is always content with his life. It is easy to pick him out in the crowd, for he usually wears ordinary and wornout clothes.‎ One day, he was very astonished to see a humourous comedy which his former classmate directed and starred in. His classmate had been a famous director and married an outstanding actress, who, in particular, adopted many homeless children. So well off are they that they appear on many occasions to aid those in need of help, making Li Hua begin to think about his life.‎ His classmate’s success convinced him that one should have a dream and cannot content himself with things as they are. He whispered to himself that he would react to his present condition. He would overcome all kinds of difficulties and struggle to succeed.　　‎ 直到现在李华还是很穷，因为他一直对他的生活感到满足。在人群中很容易就能认出他来，他通常穿着平常的旧衣服。‎ 一天，他非常吃惊地看到了他的一个老同学导演并主演的幽默喜剧。他的同学已经是个著名的导演，与一个杰出的女演员结了婚，尤其是她还收养了许多无家可归的孩子。他们的境况非常好，他们会在许多场合出现，帮助那些需要帮助的人，这让李华开始思考自己的人生。‎ 同学的成功让他确信，一个人应该有梦想，不能满足于现状。他小声对自己说他要对自己目前的现状作出反应。他要克服各种各样的困难，努力追求成功。‎ 加餐练(一)　完形阅读组合练 Ⅰ.完形填空 As I lay on the table enjoying my monthly massage (按摩), my soul was nourished and renewed. While I felt the caring __1__ of the massage therapist (治疗专家), I listened to recordings of music __2__ only a few centuries ago for royalty and the very rich. Flutes in gentle harmony complemented by __3__ piano scales; in my imagination, these gifted artists were __4__ just for me.‎ I pay $80 for an hourlong massage. How much is it really __5__ to me? $500? $1,000? I could never __6__ that amount every month, but if suddenly a massage cost $500 or $1,000 at minimum, I realized that I would still __7__ and get a massage every year or two as a special __8__.‎ When the massage was __9__， I told my massage therapist how __10__ I was for her ‎ work, how much this time __11__ to me each month. Her massages are worth far more than $80 to me — $500 or $1,000, __12__. While I can't afford that __13__， I paid her an extra $100 this month __14__ that she not put it in the bank or pay her bills with it. I __15__ that she spend it on something extraordinary for herself she wouldn't purchase __16__， like a special article of clothing or something beautiful for her home.‎ She was close to __17__， not at the gift itself, I think, but at the __18__ behind it. She said she looked forward to dreaming about all the __19__ she could spend the money, and that she would be sure to tell me about what she ended up deciding on.“You don't have to tell me，” I said.“It will give me even more __20__ to tell you，” she replied.‎ 语篇解读：本文是记叙文。在支付按摩师费用时，“我”多给了她100美元。“我”希望她把这些钱用得更有意义，这让她非常感动。‎ ‎1．A.observation　　　　　　　　B．information C．touch D．requirement 解析：选C　联系空后的“the massage therapist(治疗专家)”可知，此处表示“我”在感受按摩师(按摩时)关切的触摸。‎ ‎2．A.reserved B．valued C．cherished D．discovered 解析：选A　从空后的“only a few centuries ago for royalty and the very rich”可知，这样的音乐是在几个世纪前为达官贵人准备的，因此用reserved。‎ ‎3．A.influent B．smooth C．regular D．delicate 解析：选D　结合语境可知，此处表示“在优雅的钢琴曲的伴奏下”。‎ ‎4．A.appearing B．performing C．changing D．developing 解析：选B　联系空前的“Flutes in gentle harmony complemented by __3__ piano scales”可知，这些有才华的艺术家仅仅是在为“我”演奏着。‎ ‎5．A.useful B．effective C．significant D．worth 解析：选D　从空后的“$500？$‎1,000”‎可知，“我”在问自己：这一个小时的按摩究竟值多少钱？‎ ‎6．A.afford B．expect C．infer D．gain 解析：选A　结合空后的“that amount every month”“get a massage every year or two”可推知，如果一小时按摩值500美元或者1‎ ‎ 000美元，自己确实每月付不起那么多钱，但可能一年或两年享受一次。‎ ‎7．A.keep up B．save up C．make up D．break up 解析：选B　结合“if suddenly a massage cost $500 or $1,000 at minimum”和“get a massage every year or two”可知，如果一次按摩最少要花费500至1 000美元，“我”将会节省下来钱，一两年做一次按摩。‎ ‎8．A.entertainment B．treat C．relaxation D．action 解析：选B　联系“get a massage every year or two”可知，节省下来的钱一两年进行一次按摩，作为(对自己的)特殊招待。‎ ‎9．A.processed B．prepared C．completed D．improved 解析：选C　从空后的内容看，按摩结束后，“我”与按摩师谈话。‎ ‎10．A.puzzled B．amused C．attractive D．grateful 解析：选D　联系前文的“caring __1__”“recordings of music”和空后的“for her work”可知，“我”对她的工作表示感激。‎ ‎11．A.meant B．cost C．imply D．refer 解析：选A　由上题解析可知，“我”对她的工作表示感激，所以这个时间她的工作对“我”意味着很多。‎ ‎12．A.though B．likely C．surely D．therefore 解析：选C　结合空前的“far more than $80 to me — $500 or $‎1,000”‎可知，这一个小时的按摩不仅仅值80美元，很确定地值500或1 000美元。‎ ‎13．A.value B．amount C．charge D．offer 解析：选B　从空后的“I paid her an extra $‎100”‎可知，“我”支付不了那么多。前文中的“I could never __6__ that amount”也是提示。‎ ‎14．A.in case B．for fear C．in order D．on condition 解析：选D　“she not put it in the bank or pay her bills with it”是“我”另外支付她这些钱的条件。故选D项。on condition that“条件是”。‎ ‎15．A.insisted B．permitted C．commanded D．ordered 解析：选A　从前文的“__14__ that she not put it in the bank or pay her bills with it”可知，“我”坚决要求她把钱花在特别的东西上。‎ ‎16．A.then B．willingly C．otherwise D．totally 解析：选C　联系前文的“something ... she wouldn't purchase”可知，没有这些钱她就不会买，因此此空用otherwise。‎ ‎17．A.sighs B．tears C．cheers D．screams 解析：选B　结合空后的“not at the gift itself, I think, but at the __18__ behind it”可知，她因这份礼物背后的情感而几乎要哭出来。‎ ‎18．A.intentions B．purposes C．plans D．feelings 解析：选D　参见上题解析。‎ ‎19．A.ways B．thoughts C．determinations D．chances 解析：选A　从“she could spend the money”可知，她一直梦想着花这个钱的各种方式。‎ ‎20．A.tools B．aid C．pleasure D．moments 解析：选C　告诉“我”她如何花的这些钱将带给她更大的快乐。‎ Ⅱ.阅读理解 Bill Gates and the president of General Motors have met for lunch, and Bill is going on and on about computer technology.“If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades, you would now be driving a V32 instead of a V8, and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour，” says Gates.“Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas. In either case, the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50. Why haven't you guys kept up？”‎ The president of GM smiles and says，“Because the federal government won't let us build cars that crash four times a day.”‎ Why is that funny (or not funny, as the case may be)? Human beings love to laugh, and the average adult laughs 17 times a day. Humans love to laugh so much that there are actually industries built around laughter. Jokes, sitcoms and comedians are all designed to get us laughing, because laughing feels good. For us it seems so natural, but the funny thing is that humans are one of the only species that laughs. Laughter is actually a complex response that involves many of the same ‎ skills used in solving problems.‎ Laughter is a great thing — that's why we've all heard the saying，“Laughter is the best medicine.” There is strong evidence that laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease. In this article, we'll look at laughter — what it is, what happens in our brains when we laugh, what makes us laugh and how it can make us healthier and happier. You'll also learn that there's a tremendous amount that no one understands yet.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇文章的引言。作者通过比尔·盖茨和通用汽车公司总裁的幽默谈话向我们讲述了“笑”的作用：可以促进我们的身体健康，增强抵抗疾病的能力。‎ ‎1．What's the best title of the passage?‎ A．Laughter B．The joke between Gates and the president of General Motors C．Why do we laugh?‎ D．Laughter and health 解析：选D　标题归纳题。综观全文可以看出，文章通过一个幽默引出了笑的作用：可以增进我们的身体健康，增强抵抗疾病的能力。‎ ‎2．Which one is NOT true according to the passage?‎ A．Computer technology has developed quickly during the past few decades.‎ B．Automotive technology has developed as fast as computer technology according to Bill Gates.‎ C．The president of GM thinks it is impossible to build cars worth less than 50 dollars.‎ D．If cars were less than 50 dollars, a large number of accidents would happen per day.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。文章第一段的“If automotive technology had ... instead of a V‎8”‎用的是虚拟语气，故该句中的描述与事实不符。‎ ‎3．The underlined word“sitcoms” in Paragraph 3 means “________”．‎ A．situation comedies B．tragedies C．body language D．fictions 解析：选A　词义猜测题。该词的意思应和此句前面的“Jokes(笑话)”以及后面的“comedians(喜剧演员)”接近，故选A。而“tragedies(悲剧)”， “body language(身势语)”，“fictions(小说)”均不在此列。‎ ‎4．This passage is most probably an ________.‎ A．introduction of an article about Microsoft B．introduction of an article about laughter C．article about laughter D．introduction of an article about General Motors 解析：选B　推理判断题。由最后一段的后半部分尤其是“In this article, we'll ...”可以看出，该文是一篇文章的引言，用来吸引读者，介绍文章的内容。‎ 加餐练(二)　第Ⅱ卷规范增分练 Ⅰ.语法填空 Chaplin was an extraordinary performer __1__ starred in and directed many outstanding comedies.

On one occasion, he was trapped by a snowstorm in a vast __8__ (mountain) area. Though he overcame many difficulties, he wasn't fortunate enough. With all the porridge __9__ (eat) up, he picked out a shoe and boiled it to eat. He cut off the leather bottom and chewed it like a pancake. According to an actress, his acting was so __10__ (convince) and amusing that everybody couldn't help bursting into laughter.‎ 答案：1.who　2.watching　3.detectives　4.sliding ‎5．with　6.has astonished　7.homeless　8.mountainous　9.eaten　10.convincing Ⅱ.应用文写作 校学生会将在‎9月12日星期六傍晚7点放映影片My Fair Lady，请你代表学生会根据下面所给的情景说明，写一份书面通知，通知日期是‎9月9日。内容包括：‎ ‎1．事宜：星期六傍晚7点放映影片My Fair Lady；‎ ‎2．影片信息：根据爱尔兰作家George Bernard Shaw的作品Pygmalion改编，由著名影星Audrey Hepburn主演，该剧深度探讨了英国的社会状况，兼具独特的萧伯纳式幽默；‎ ‎3．地点：图书馆三楼；‎ ‎4．票价：2元(购票需出示学生证)；‎ ‎5．提醒：观看者须提前两天到学生会办公室购票。‎ Notice ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ 参考范文：‎ Notice My Fair Lady, the famous film, starring the famous actress Audrey Hepburn, will be put on at 7 o'clock on September 12th, Saturday evening.

This makes it very easy for us to go out for the evening.‎ Last week we went to the restaurant in a new hotel. We had a wonderful meal. First, we had soup and a salad. Then Helen, my wife, had mutton with peas and carrots, and I had a beef steak with potatoes. For dessert, I had some icecream and Helen had fresh fruit. We had several cups of coffee after we finished eating. The food was delicious, the quantity was large, and it wasn't too expensive.‎ Our children don't like to eat in the restaurants because they have to sit and be quiet for a long time. They would rather go to their grandmother's farm. Their grandmother — my mother prepares everything they like. She usually has fried chicken, corn, and hot biscuits with honey. She always serves plenty of chocolate icecream and cake for dessert.‎ I'm always surprised that my father doesn't weigh a lot more when I see how much he eats. But he works very hard on the farm from about 5 o'clock in the morning until it gets dark in the evening.‎ When my parents visit us in the city, we usually take them to a restaurant. I know they enjoy it, but my father always eats something else after he gets home. The quantity may be large in the restaurant, but it is still not large enough for a hungry farmer.‎ 第二部分　阅读理解　(满分35分，限时30分钟)‎ 第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。‎ A Here are some of the movies that inspire you to travel.‎ The Lord of the Rings The story is about Frodo, his friends and their adventurous journey through Middleearth. Filmed in about 150 locations all over New Zealand, this travel movie shows its beauty. From the rolling hills of Matamata to the volcanic region of Mt Ruapehu, this is ‎ the best movie to see New Zealand. Also, this travel movie might have the only distinction of being inspired by travel. The director of the movie Peter Jackson first read the novel on a train going from Wellington to Auckland when he was just seventeen.‎ Indiana‎ Jones: The Complete Adventure Collection Indiana‎ Jones and travel are inseparable. Everyone remembers the red line on the world map that shows up on screen when he flies. The Egypt scenes in Raiders of the Lost Ark were filmed in Tunisia. Temple of Doom was filmed mostly in Sri Lanka and Macau. Last Crusade was filmed in Italy, Spain and Jordan including and excellent view of Petra. Unlike the other films, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was filmed almost entirely in the United States. However, their shots of Iguazu‎ ‎Falls are amazing.‎ Romancing the Stone and The Jewel of the Nile ‎ This movie series focuses on a romantic writer Joan and her adventures with a soldier of fortune named Jack. In Romancing the Stone Joan goes to Colombia to save her sister who is kidnapped. In the sequel (续集) Joan goes to the fictional kingdom of Kadir in the Middle East. Romancing the Stone's scenes were shot mostly in Mexico. For The Jewel of the Nile, the scenes were mostly shot in France and Morocco.‎ The Talented Mr. Ripley Tom Ripley is a working class young man. Through a case of mistaken identity, he is asked to go to Italy to convince a wealthy businessman's son to come home. This travel movie starts in New York and heads to the fictional resort of Monticello. The last section of the movie is filmed mostly in Rome and Naples. The locations are beautiful. They also do a good job of showing Italy as it looked in the 1960s.‎ ‎21．If you are interested in Europe, you probably watch the film ________.‎ A．‎Temple‎ of ‎Doom B．Last Crusade C．Raiders of the Lost ‎Ark D．Kingdom of the Crystal Skull 解析：选B　细节理解题。依据Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventure Collection部分中的“Last Crusade was filmed in Italy, Spain ...”可知，这部电影部分是在意大利、西班牙拍摄的。‎ ‎22．What can we learn by reading the paragraph of The Lord of the Rings?‎ A．It is the best movie made in New Zealand.‎ B．It was shot from Wellington to Auckland.‎ C．It has increased tourism in New Zealand.‎ D．The novel about it caught the director's attention long ago.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。依据文章The Lord of the Rings这一部分的最后一句可知，这部电影的导演17岁时第一次读到这本小说，被这个故事吸引住了。‎ ‎23．The movie The Talented Mr. Ripley tells us a story of a man who ________.‎ A．owns a large amount of fortune B．helps a father persuade his son to come home C．goes sightseeing in Rome and ‎Naples D．becomes wealthy by always working hard 解析：选B　细节理解题。依据文章最后一段的“he is asked to go to Italy to convince a wealthy businessman's son to come home”可知选项B正确。‎ ‎24．What happens to the writer Joan?‎ A．She is kidnapped to Colombia.‎ B．She travels with her sister.‎ C．She is so brave to save her sister.‎ D．She is asked to write the movie series.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。依据“Romancing the Stone and The Jewel of the Nile”部分中的“This movie series focuses on ... save her sister who is kidnapped.”可知，Joan是电影中的人物，是一个喜欢冒险的人，她到哥伦比亚去营救被绑架的妹妹。‎ B When I was only 10 years old, a serious defeat I suffered helped to send me to the Olympics and made me an Olympic iceskating champion. It made me aware of a deadly competitor — the other Peggy Fleming.‎ Just before that, I had been roller skating and playing baseball. But Dad encouraged me to take skating lessons. And soon I won local figure skating awards. Then came the Pacific Coast Championships in Los Angeles.‎ I, a very confident young girl, proud of the praise of friends and newspapers, walked into the stadium expecting to add another honour to my recent victories. Out on the ice, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, skimming through the camel spin, double axle, paragraph three, and all the other figures I knew so well. But when the results were announced, out of 12 competitors I finished last.“You didn't skate your best！” I knew that only one person had beaten me that day — myself, my own selfsatisfaction.‎ When I trained for the Olympics, I'd practice the same 69 figures over and over, eight hours a day, six days a week. A skater must do five figures for the Olympics, but you aren't told until the last minute which figures these will be. So you must have_all_69_down_pat. Often in the middle of practicing a figure, the other Peggy Fleming would whisper，“Good enough! Why push yourself so hard？” And then I'd remember my lesson in Los Angeles.‎ Now I skate professionally. But I still face this deadly competitor. I firmly believe that each of us has been given a special talent. If we bury our talent in our own selfsatisfaction and simply do not want to make the effort, we fail our world and ourselves.‎ ‎25．Upon knowing her result at the Pacific‎ ‎Coast Championships, the author might feel ________.‎ A．quite content　　　　　B．extremely nervous C．really angry D．very disappointed 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“expecting to add another honour to my recent victories”和“when the results were announced, out of 12 competitors I finished last”可知，作者本来期望拿冠军，最后却成了倒数第一，作者一定会很失望，故选D。‎ ‎26．By saying “have all 69 down pat”， the author means that a skater must ________.‎ A．know all 69 figures very well B．win all 69 medals of skating C．perform all 69 figures in public D．knock all 69 competitors down 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，比赛时只需表演5个动作，但是这5个动作在最后一刻才会公布，所以作者必须熟练地掌握所有的69个动作，故选A。‎ ‎27．What can we learn from the author's story?‎ A．A good beginning makes a good ending.‎ B．In time of danger, one's mind works fast.‎ C．Pride makes one fall behind.‎ D．Kill two birds with one stone.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。作者通过讲述自己在一次比赛中因为骄傲自满而惨败的故事向我们说明了这样一个道理：骄傲使人落后。A“善始者善终”；B“急中生智”；D“一石二鸟”。‎ C When it comes to health, women and men have a lot of different ideas. Today, many books and magazines have different options. Let's take a look at some different magazines.‎ Shape According to the website, Shape is an active lifestyle magazine for women in America. This women's health magazine includes everything from diet and exercise to psychology. What is great about Shape is that it knows that it must cover a lot more than fitness to give women everything that they need to stay healthy. Besides the great features included in the printed magazine, they also have an easily accessible website that just about anyone can ‎ utilize (利用)．‎ Woman's Day Woman's Day is specifically a women's health magazine; however, it also includes a little of what Shape has but with more information on other aspects of life such as family, money, travel and style. Many of the articles in Woman's Day specifically address diseases that are very prominent (突出的) in women's health such as diabetes, heart disease, breast cancer and more.‎ Women's Health From tips to recent health news to real world articles, Women's Health magazine has everything that you need from a women's health magazine. Another great feature is that Women's Health magazine has a great website full of information and articles from past magazines that you can check out.

I turned into a back alley. Suddenly, up ahead, a car backed out of a driveway. I saw a little old lady sitting in the driver's seat. But it was too late. I stopped and jumped out to see if the old lady was damaged. The woman, Evelyn_Johnson,_looked angry, but unhurt. “Go sit in my house right now，” she said. It was the tone of voice that no kid can disobey. The police arrived and began to question the old woman.‎ ‎ “The man who did this ran that way，” she said, pointing down the alley.‎ 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2．应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ ‎3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1：‎ When the police drove off, 　‎ ‎ 　‎ ‎ 　‎ ‎ 　　‎ ‎ 　‎ ‎ 　　‎ ‎ 　‎ Paragraph 2：‎ ‎ I spent more time studying and football kept me busy too.　‎ ‎ 　　‎ ‎ 　‎ ‎ 　　‎ ‎ 　‎ ‎ 　‎ 参考范文：‎ Paragraph 1：‎ When the police drove off, Evelyn_Johnson pushed some cookies in front of me.“You've been given an opportunity，” she said.“Don't waste it.There aren't any second chances.” I went back to Miss Johnson's a few days later, trying to do something for damaging her car.I went again the next week, and I kept going back.“How are your grades？” she'd ask.“Did you win the game？” I liked that she cared.Sure, my mom cared, a lot, but she worked so much.Miss Johnson always had the time.Over the years, Miss Johnson had become like a real grandmother to me.‎ Paragraph 2：‎ I spent more time studying and football kept me busy too.All throughout the difficulties, I thought about Miss Johnson and the chance she'd given me.I worked hard on the football field and became a_famous_football_player.I turned down an alley to escape the_police.Little did I know I'd find a way to a_better_life than I could ever have imagined.‎
