考点强化练40(选修8　Unit 5)‎ ‎　考点强化练第79页　 ‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 ‎(2017·8月浙江“超级全能生”高三联考)‎ For the longest time,Amber Austwick was unable to speak.In fact,it took a donkey to inspire her first words.Amber,a 6-year-old girl in Birmingham,England,was born prematurely,along with her twin sister,Hope,in June 2010.‎ Both babies suffered severe bleeding in their lungs,but Hope got stronger while Amber needed a life-saving tracheotomy(气管切开术)that restricted air to vocal cords(声带).As a result,she was able to breathe,but unable to speak.But that changed three years ago,when Amber’s mom,Tracy Austwick,took her to an animal shelter.It was there that Amber met Shocks,a donkey that had been rescued from abuse.‎ ‎“It was quite scary really,”Tracy Austwick said.“Shocks was in the stadium and the riding instructor took little Amber to him and I found it scary for me because Shocks was so much bigger than her.”“But Amber wasn’t scared and Shocks was really excited to meet her and they’ve kept that bond ever since.”The bond is so strong that when Amber was ready to say her first words,she said them to Shocks:“I love you.”‎ Amber’s mother was shocked that her daughter spoke to Shocks.“It was such an emotional moment.I couldn’t believe my daughter had finally found her voice,”she said.“Once she met Shocks he brought her out of her shell,she’s a lot more confident with him and with friends at school who she loves to talk to about him and the donkey shelter.”‎ Although Shocks still lives at the shelter,he’s part of the Austwick family.“Amber will always visit Shocks and she still sees him whenever she can,”Tracy said.‎ ‎【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了Amber Austwick出生时早产,肺部受损严重,3岁时还不能说话,但这一切在她和一头驴子相遇后都发生了改变。‎ ‎1.What do the twin sisters have in common?‎ A.They were born deaf and dumb.‎ B.They had vocal cord injured.‎ C.They suffered physical abuse.‎ D.They had severe lung problems.‎ 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Both babies suffered severe bleeding in their lungs,but Hope got stronger while Amber needed a life-saving tracheotomy(气管切开术)that restricted air to vocal cords(声带).”可知,D项正确。‎ ‎2.The bond with Shocks made Amber　　　. ‎ A.like going to the donkey shelter with her good friends B.fear animals no longer and dare to get close to them C.become more confident and willing to talk to people D.fight against her lung disease bravely 答案C 解析推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Once she met Shocks he brought her out of her shell,she’s a lot more confident with him and with friends at school who she loves to talk to about him and the donkey shelter.”可知Amber变得更加自信,更愿意与人交谈。故选C项。‎ ‎3.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?‎ A.Shocks Helps Amber to Recover from Her Lung Bleeding B.A New Medical Cure Is Applied to Rescue the Patients C.Amber Has Developed a Strong Bond with Her Friends D.Girl Who Couldn’t Speak Tells A Donkey “I Love You”‎ 答案D 解析主旨大意题。文章主要讲了小女孩一开始不会说话,在驴子的帮助下能开口说话的故事。故选D项。‎ ‎〚导学号29402167〛‎ Ⅱ.七选五 ‎(2017·9月浙江宁波十校联考)‎ Parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did.　1　 At parties,more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks.According to a recent International Data Corporation study,well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up,keeping it in hand all day.In addition,too much of society is using smartphones while driving and as a result getting into car crashes.34 percent of teens admit to text while driving.　2　 People’s attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others. ‎ Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road,many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction.We are starting to get used to people seemingly talking themselves everywhere.　3　 It is actually sending a message to that friend:the person I am texting is more important than you.In addition,relying on our smartphone to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world.　4　 ‎ As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their massages,smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people.The quality of this technology is de-advancing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication.　5　 ‎ A.And they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption.‎ B.Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.‎ C.Over dependence on the smart phone gives rise to many problems.‎ D.It is true that we can make new friends using smart phones.‎ E.Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact(交流)face-to-face but it is also lowering society’s ability to communicate.‎ F.When with their friends,some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend,which sends a message to that friend.‎ G.This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize,but the smartphone.‎ 答案与解析 ‎【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文,讲述了智能手机给人们带来了方便的同时,也带来了一些问题。智能手机的出现影响了人们面对面交流的渴望,降低了人们交往的社会能力,还会引发一些交通安全问题。‎ ‎1.G　根据空后“At parties,more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks.”可知,现在的聚会不如以前那样令人激动和兴奋,其原因不是人们缺乏社交的渴望,而是智能手机的出现,故G项符合语境。‎ ‎2.A　根据空前“In addition,too much of society is using smartphones while driving and as a result getting into car crashes.34 percent of teens admit to text while driving.”可知,开车时收发短信已是影响安全驾驶的第一要素,故A项符合语境。‎ ‎3.F　根据空后“It is actually sending a message to that friend:the person I am texting is more important than you.”可知,在和朋友面对面交谈时,如果再用手机和其他人联系的话,会让对面的朋友有不被尊重的感觉。故F项符合语境。‎ ‎4.B　根据空前“In addition,relying on our smartphone to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world.”可知,面对面交友比通过手机交友的好处多。从长远来看,面对面交谈可以增强我们的交际能力。故B项符合语境。‎ ‎5.E　根据空前“The quality of this technology is de-advancing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication.”可知,智能手机的出现影响了人们面对面交流的渴望,降低了人们交往的社会能力。故E项符合语境。‎ ‎〚导学号29402168〛‎ Ⅲ.读后续写 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。‎ The end of my sophomore year was approaching.Mom called me at the dorm one evening during the last week of May.My summer break would be spent with Grandma and Grandpa,helping out around their farm.The arrangement made good sense to all the family. ‎ I arrived late that afternoon,deciding I was there to help,not be a burden.‎ Weeks passed.I gradually settled into a routine of daily work with Grandpa and shared stories with Grandma.‎ The last Saturday in June,Grandpa suggested going fishing.We hadn’t expected what we saw when we got to the pond that morning:One of the swans was dead.Grandpa had given the pair of swans to Grandma on their 50th anniversary.“Why don’t we see about buying another one,” I suggested,hoping the situation could somehow be righted.Grandpa thought for a few moments before answering. ‎ He finally said,“No...it’s not that easy,Bruce.You see,swans mate for life.” He raised his finger to point,holding the fishing pole in his other hand.“There’s nothing we can do for the swan that’s left.He has to work it out for himself.” ‎ A few days later,we drove by the pond while doing our morning check on the cows.We found the other swan lying near the same spot we had found the first one.It,too,was dead.‎ ‎ Then July 12 came.That was the day Grandma passed away.Grandma had died suddenly that morning of a stroke.By the afternoon,my parents were there.The old house was soon crowded with relatives and Grandpa’s friends. ‎ The funeral was held the next day.Grandpa had insisted on having it as soon as possible.On the second day after the funeral,Grandpa urged that the rest of the relatives should get back to their own lives.This was Grandpa’s way of telling them to go home.Grandpa was not a man who could outwardly express his grief around others,and we were all worried about him. ‎ The rest of the summer flowed by.We stayed busy working.‎ 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:‎ September was nearing,and I did not want to

Paragraph 1:‎ September was nearing,and I did not want to leave. I thought of skipping the fall semester and staying around a few more months.When I mentioned it,Grandpa quickly told me that my place was back at college.The day finally came for me to pack my car and leave.I shook his hand and chanced a hug.As I drove down the driveway,I saw him in the rearview mirror.He waved to me and then walked to the pasture gate to start the morning livestock check. ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Mom called me at school on a stormy October day to tell me Grandpa had died. A neighbor had stopped by that morning for coffee and found him in the kitchen.He died of a stroke,the same as Grandma.At that moment,I understood what he’d clumsily tried to explain to me about the swan that morning we fished together by the pond. ‎ ‎〚导学号29402169〛‎
