能力提升题组训练(B)

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

All over the world mothers and fathers teach their children manners.Other children may have manners that are not like yours.There are all kinds of manners.

Many years ago,children who had good manners were seen and not heard.They kept quite quiet if grown-ups were talking.Today,well-mannered children have more freedom.

Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places.Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia.Some friends ask you to eat with them.What kind of manners do they want you to have?They want you to give a loud“burp”(打嗝) after you finish eating.Burping would show that you liked your food.In some countries,if you give a loud burp,you are told to say “Excuse me,please.”

In many places people like to eat together.But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all.People show good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.

What are manners like in an East African town?The people try not to see you.They are being polite.You may see a friend.He may not see you at all.If you are polite,you will sit down beside him.You will wait until he finishes what he is doing.Then he will talk to you.

Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia.You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent.If you pass in front of the other tents,you will be asked into each one.People will ask you to eat with them.And it is bad manners if you say no.

Manners are different all over the world.But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way.People needed ways to show that they wanted to be friends.

B

I hate Black Friday sales.It’s often a gathering of people who are there for many different reasons.Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one,or perhaps themselves.Their intentions are completely unrelated to the festive time of the year.

It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning.They had advertised a child’s bike that she wanted to purchase for our son.We stood with a very large crowd,waiting for the manager to blow the whistle.After a while the whistle blew.It was like throwing a bucket of small fish into a tank of sharks.I told my wife that if we obtained a bike,fine,but if we did not,I was OK with that too.

As the pile of bikes began to gradually decrease in size,I saw my polite opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of the boxes.I lifted it up and suddenly felt some mild resistance.I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life.Frightening was not the word to describe his presence.He wore lots of belts of metal studded leather around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos(文身) were an obvious passion of his.

I started to give up the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands.He then directed it into my shopping cart.He looked at me,smiled,and said,“Merry Christmas.”My wife and I went to the checkout,paid for the bike and

went home.All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best gift I had ever received for Christmas.The kindness of a stranger broke all preconceived notions(预想) I may have had of stereotypes and prejudices.

4.How did the author feel when going into the store?

A.The crowd was like small fish.

B.They might not get the bike.

C.He was excited to do the shopping.

D.The whistle was blown too late.

5.What happened when the author was buying the bike?

B.A gentleman bought the bike for him.

C.A stranger helped him lift the box.

D.He gave up the bike he first touched.

6.What did the author learn from the experience?

A.Look before you leap.

B.Custom is a second nature.

C.Doing is better than saying.

D.Don’t judge a book by its cover.

7.What is the best title of the passage?

A.Black Friday sales

B.My son’s best bike

C.The best Christmas gift

D.A strange gentleman

语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。作者和妻子想在黑色星期五大抢购时给儿子买辆自行车,无奈百货商店里人山人海。作者本想放弃,没想到一个陌生人把自行车盒子让给了他。这让作者改变了之前对他人的偏见。

答案及剖析:

4.B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I told my wife that if we obtained a bike,fine,but if we did not,I was OK with that too”可知作者进入商店时已经做好了买不到自行车的打算,故选B项。

5.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life.Frightening was not the word to describe his presence”可知,刚开始,作者被一个人的外貌吓到了。故选A项。

6.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中对陌生人的描写可知,作者一开始因陌生人的外表而觉得他是个可怕的人;根据第四段的内容可知,陌生人把盒子让给了作者,作者由此发出感慨“The kindness of a stranger broke all preconceived notions(预想) I may have had of

stereotypes and prejudices”,即陌生人的善意打破了作者对他人的偏见,让作者知道不能以貌取人。故选D项。

7.C 标题归纳题。文章讲述了作者和妻子为儿子买自行车作为圣诞礼物时受到了陌生人的帮助的故事,作者认为那一时刻是他收到过的最好的圣诞节礼物。故C项作标题最佳。

Ⅱ.语法填空(2018河北武邑中学高三二调)

During an important war,a general decided to lead his soldiers 1. (fight ) back.He believed that they would win the war.But most of them had the different idea.They 2. (cast ) down,thinking they might lose the war because they were not strong enough.

3. ,they had to obey the general’s order on the way to the front,they felt very tired after

4. (walk ) for a long time.They stopped at a temple and

5. (decide ) to stop to have a rest.The general took out a coin and said,“I will throw this coin.If it is heads,we will win.If it is tails(硬币反面),we will lose.Destiny(命运) will now show itself.”

He threw the coin into the air and all of them watched it 6.

(careful).Everyone wanted to know the result.It was heads! They felt so excited and happy 7. they saw the heads.

During the war,they fought bravely and finally won the war.After the war,

8. soldier walked to the general and said,“God changed our destiny.”

“No.We 9. (us) changed our destiny.” The general replied and showed him the coin.The coin was special,which had heads on both 10. (side).

答案及剖析:

1.to fight 考查非谓语动词。此处为固定搭配lead sb.to do sth.意为:带领某人干某事。

2.were cast 考查动词的时态和语态。句意:士兵都很沮丧。cast sb.down使某人沮丧,故此处用被动语态。全文叙述的是过去的事情,故用一般过去时的被动语态。

3.However 考查副词的用法。前一句讲:士兵们认为自己会输,而这一句讲的是:他们不得不服从将军的命令。故前后两句存在转折关系,应用However。

4.walking 考查非谓语动词。此处的after用作介词,后接动词-ing作宾语。

5.decided 考查动词的时态。根据and前面的stopped可知,此处也用一般过去时。

6.carefully 考查词性转换。副词修饰动词watched。

7.when 考查连词的用法。句意:当他们看到的是硬币正面时,他们感到很兴奋,很高兴。

8.a 考查冠词的用法。此处泛指一个士兵,故用不定冠词a。

9.ourselves 考查代词的用法。句意:我们自己改变了我们的命运。故用反身代词。

10.sides 考查名词复数。由常识可知,一个硬币有两面,故用名词复数形式。

Ⅲ.书面表达(2018福建龙岩高三质检)

假如你是李华,3月1日在英国某网站购买了一本英文原版小说Pride and Prejudice。收到货后,你发现书封面破损并存在缺页现象,请你就此向网站客服写封电子邮件投诉。

注意:1.词数100左右(开头和结尾已写好,不计入总词数);

2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。

Dear Sir or Madam,

I’m sorry to trouble you but

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua One possible version:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I’m sorry to trouble you but I’m afraid that I have to make a complaint about the novel Pride and Prejudice,which I bought from your online store on March 1st.

Much to my disappointment,the novel was so poorly packed that the cover was torn when it reached me.What is worse,some pages are missing,which I think is unacceptable.It’s beyond belief to have received such poor service and I insist that you either replace the novel with a new one or give my money back.I’d appreciate it if you could settle my complaint as soon as possible.

Thank you for your consideration.Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
