【英语】2019届人教版高考一轮复习选修8精选作业:Unit4高考拆组训练
选修八 Unit 4 高考拆组训练 阅读理解组块专练——练速度 (限时:30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A I can still remember it as if it happened yesterday. I was a college freshman and had stayed up most of the night before laughing and talking with friends. Now just before my first class of the day my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier and my head was drifting down to my desk to make my textbook a pillow. A few minutes' nap time before class couldn't hurt, I thought. Boom! I lifted my head immediately and my eyes opened wider than saucers. I looked around with my heart beating quickly trying to find the cause of the noise. My young professor was looking back at me with a mischievous,_boyish smile on his face. He had intentionally dropped the pile of textbooks he was carrying onto his desk. “Good morning!” he said, still smiling. “I'm glad to see everyone is awake. Now let's get started.” For the next hour I wasn't sleepy at all. It wasn't from the shock of my professor's textbook alarm clock either. Instead, it was from the attractive discussion he led. With knowledge and good humor, he made the material come alive. His insights were full of both wisdom and loving kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy which he taught with were contagious (有感染力的). I left the classroom not only wide awake, but a little smarter and a little better as well. I learned something far more important than not sleeping in class that day too. I learned that if you are going to do something in this life, do it well, do it with joy, and make it an expression of your love. What a glorious place this world would be if all of us did our work joyously and well! What a beautiful world we could create if every doctor, teacher, musician, cook, waitress, poet, miner, farmer, and laborer made their work an expression of their love! Don't sleepwalk through your life then. Wake up! Let your love fill your work and your soul. Life is too short not to live it well. 语篇解读:本文通过作者大学第一节课的经历告诉我们:无论从事什么职业,我们都应该带着热情和快乐去做好它 1.What did the author want to do just before his first class of the day? A.Talk with his friends. B.Take a short sleep. C.Get his eyes examined. D.Stay away from the class. 解析:选B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后两句“... my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier ... A few minutes' nap time before class couldn't hurt, I thought.”可知,作者很困,想在上课前小睡一会儿。故选B项。 2.The underlined word “mischievous” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A.naughty B.tricky C.sensitive D.dishonest 解析:选A 词义猜测题。画线词与boyish共同修饰smile,感情色彩应一致。根据boyish的含义“男孩子气的”可推测,mischievous应表示“调皮的;淘气的”,与naughty意思相近。故选A项。 3.What else did the author learn that day? A.Students should not sleep in class but respect their teachers. B.Everyone should love his job and sleepwalk through his life. C.Life is too limited to make your work an expression of your love. D.People from all walks of life should do their jobs with joy and love. 解析:选D 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“I learned that if you are going to do something in this life, do it well, do it with joy, and make it an expression of your love.”和“What a beautiful world we could create if every doctor ... made their work an expression of their love!”可知,作者还学到无论你从事什么职业,都应该用充满快乐与爱的心去把工作做好,从而创造一个更美好的世界。故选D项。 4.What can be inferred from this passage? A.The professor often kept his students sharp by using a textbook alarm. B.The author was attracted by the professor's great joy and enthusiasm. C.The author left the twohour period not only wide awake, but a little smarter. D.Though the author was frightened awake, he was not clearheaded in the class. 解析:选B 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“With knowledge and good humor, he made the material come alive. His insights were full of both wisdom and loving kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy which he taught with were contagious(有感染力的).”可知,作者被教授的快乐和热情所吸引,故选B项。 B Life can sometimes go haywire rather like the feeling you get when you've lost control of your moving car.It's a feeling of complete helplessness and panic that makes us feel overwhelmed (被压垮的). In most cases, there is a difference between our expectations and reality.The greater the difference, the greater the feeling is of being overwhelmed.This difference is often created when our expectations are too demanding or when reality changes in a way we did not expect.Think of the weather ruining your carefully made travel plans to get across the state.Think of that illness that made you stay in bed.While we may be feeling overwhelmed with everything going on in our lives right now, there are some steps we can take to regain a sense of control of our lives. We all know we should control our emotion properly and we can be affected greatly when we are overwhelmed, but feeling overwhelmed is part of life.When we're feeling overwhelmed, it only means we are living, breathing human beings.For life is like a roller coaster ride with its ups, downs and turns.It's also like the season with its alternating periods of relative calm and periods of varying degrees of stress and anxiety.Sometimes we forget this. No matter how much we try, we may not be able to control reality.But we can adjust our expectations to match reality.This may mean revising our goals and tasks or quitting projects.It may feel like failure in the moment, like giving up, but this ability is an opportunity to create success in the long term.Working with reality rather than against it can give us hope. When we're feeling overwhelmed, we can easily fall into an allornothing (孤注一掷).We may overlook the things we manage to accomplish when we feel overwhelmed.But celebrating our small wins creates space for gratitude to take hold in our hearts.Trade our expectations for appreciation and our whole world changes in an instant.Celebrating wins (whatever size!) allows us to clearly see the progress we are making.Acknowledging our small bites and celebrating our wins however small makes us have a more accepting attitude toward the opportunities, the gifts and the joys in our lives. 语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。面对生活中的不如意,我们有时会感到绝望,感觉被压垮了。但我们可以采取一些有效的方法来摆脱这种困扰。 5.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A.We fail to control our emotion sometimes. B.We must learn to control our emotion well. C.It is natural for everyone to feel overwhelmed. D.Feeling overwhelmed is a big barrier to our life. 解析:选C 段落大意题。根据第三段可知,我们都知道应该控制好自己的情绪,当我们感觉被压垮时,我们会受到这种情绪很大的影响。但感到被压垮是生活的一部分,表明我们是有生命的人类,只是我们总是会忘记这一点。由此可知,第三段主要是说感到被压垮对每个人来说是自然的。 6.What should we do when we can't control reality? A.Accept our failure and quit. B.Change our goal based on reality. C.Try our best to change reality. D.Find a better way to realize our goal. 解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“No matter how much we try ... or quitting projects.”可知,无论我们怎么努力,可能都无法改变现实。但是我们可以调整我们的预期以匹配现实。这或许意味着修改我们的目标和任务,或者放弃我们的计划。由此可知,当我们无法掌控现实时,我们可以根据现实来改变我们的目标。 7.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Small bites are better than big wins. B.We should show gratitude to others. C.Celebrating small wins helps us make progress. D.We should appreciate even small achievements of ours. 解析:选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,庆祝小的成功有利于在我们心中创造感激的空间。庆祝胜利(无论大小)可以让我们清楚地看到我们正在取得的进步。认可我们的小成就并庆祝胜利,无论它有多小,这会使我们能够更乐于接受生活中的机会、礼物和乐趣。由此可推知,我们应该欣赏我们哪怕很小的成就,故选D项。 C Last year Martha had a crazy idea: “Let's go to the shelter and get a dog.” I was not exactly thrilled about the idea but agreed. We went to a California Animal Shelter. We wanted to find a dog and save a life at the same time. While I walked along the rows and rows of cold metal cages, a dog caught my eye. He was scared, weak and looked like he had given up on life. He looked at me with big beautiful eyes. I could see into his soul that he just wanted it to end. I approached his cage. I stuck my finger through the hole in the cage and scratched him on the head. He closed his eyes and accepted all the love. I knew that this dog had never felt love before. I thought he was enjoying every bit of the love I could give him until his time came to leave the Earth. Tears began to stream down my face because I felt everything that this poor creature was feeling right then. He just wanted to be loved; he just wanted a home and a family. I called my wife Martha and son Gabriel over and told them. “We want him.” Now Carson's favorite thing to do is to leap up in the air onto our bed in the morning and give us kisses with his giant tongue. He is always there to greet us when we come home with a huge smile and a wagging tail. Our lives are so much better because of this giant dog. He has shown us more love than any living creature on Earth. I know what's in his big brown eyes: love, compassion and gratitude. Taking a chance on this dog was the best decision my family ever made. 语篇解读:本文讲述了作者一家决定收养一只狗的过程以及这只狗给作者一家带来的欢乐。作者认为收养这只狗是全家作出的最好的决定。 8.What's the author's reaction to his wife's proposal? A.He hesitated for a while. B.He was excited about it. C.He agreed with his wife. D.He was scared of it. 解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知,作者对妻子的想法并没有感到兴奋,但是却同意了。 9.What caused the author to adopt the dog? A.His sympathy. B.His wife's proposal. C.His interest. D.His wife's tears. 解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知,作者看到这只狗后流泪了,因为作者感受到这只可怜的狗的感觉,所以是作者的同情心促使作者决定收养这只狗。 10.What can we infer from the last but one paragraph? A.The dog brings health to the family. B.The dog brings happiness to the family. C.The dog brings lots of hope to the family. D.The dog brings some hobbies to the family. 解析:选B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知,这只狗现在最喜欢做的事情就是每天早晨跳到床上亲作者他们,总是在他们回家时用大大的微笑和摇摆的尾巴问候他们。再根据最后一段可知,因为这只狗,作者一家的生活更好了,它给予作者一家更多的爱。由此可推知,这只狗给作者一家带来了快乐。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 How to be a Great Artist Do you wish to one day become a great artist?

These things will help you gain a better understanding of how real objects work, are shaped and will come in handy when you're drawing. ·Learn how to obtain the correct colors and their properties accurately The color concepts are very different than that in grade school basic art. The basic white and black to get shades and tones has a tendency to change the hue (色调) and make it dull and false. __4__. ·Look at other artists' works Pay attention to their styles of drawing, so you can expand your viewpoint. And if you want, try copying their styles for a day to get a good idea on it. Also take trips to museums and art exhibits to gain inspiration. ·__5__ Whether it is a picture in a magazine or a bowl of fruit you set up on your counter, it's a good practice and it'll help you improve a lot.
