——————————教育资源共享步入知识海洋————————选修7U19李仕才一、阅读理解AIt may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don’t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech—"I Have a Dream", you may notice that he stumbles (结巴)over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for awell-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by makin g him more human.As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.1.The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will .A.be smarter than youB. know what you are talking aboutC.do better than youD. notice your mistakes2.You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because .A. you find the way of speech-making more importantB. you don’t fully understand the speechC. you d on’t know what the speaker plans to sayD. your attention is on the content3.From the last two paragraphs, the author means that .A. giving a speech is like giving a performanceB. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeC.one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad。

高考英语一轮复习 高考题型提能练十九 Unit 19 Language 北师大版选修7-北师大版高三

高考题型提能练十九 Unit 19 LanguageⅠ.阅读理解AI sat with a friend a few weeks ago as she scrolled through photos of her college freshman daughter on her phone. She asked me, “Doesn't she look happy? She looks OK, right?〞 Her daughter had recently had a difficult time, which was now over, but her mother —like all mothers would —still worried, sometimes, that something might be wrong.For generations of parents, sending children off to college meant knowing little to nothing about how their children were doing. Other than the occasional letter or call from a dorm room phone, children who had left home were mostly unseen and heard from infrequently. College kids could get into all kinds of trouble and their parents would know nothing about it until Christmas vacation or summer break.Now, of course, that's not at all how it is. Parents of college students can spend hour upon hour examining photos on Instagram or Facebook of their children. They look for hints of sadness in their eyes, the way their clothes fit, whether they're really smiling or just sort of smiling.However, I don't think it's necessary. College is a time of intense personal growth. Pain is a necessary lesson for the emotional leap from childhood to adulthood. Mothers shouldn't be able to see photos in real time that capture their children when they're at their worst — whether because of too much alcohol or too little happiness.The blessing of social media is the ability to connect at any time with your child, no matter where he or she may be in the world. Facebook, Instagram and the rest are keeping our helicopters flying long after they should have landed. Maybe it would be better for all of us to be a little less aware of the state of our children's lives once they leave home. Better for the children, and certainly betterfor the parents.1.That friend scrolled through photos on her phone most probably because she ________.A.was bored and wanted to kill the timeB.wanted to make sure her daughter was alrightC.wanted to help her daughter through the difficultyD.was sure something was wrong with her daughter2.What does Paragraph 2 tell us about parents of college students in the past?A.They were often worried about their children.B.They usually let their children do whatever they liked.C.They were usually too busy to care about their children.D.They lacked means of knowing about their children's situation.3.What does the writer think of children's experiencing pain at college?A.It is helpless.B.It is necessary.C.It is nonsense.D.It should be prevented.4.The passage is written to show that ________.A.children don't really have freedom at collegeB.social media make our life much easier than beforeC.today's parents contact their children more frequentlyD.parents shouldn't follow their children at college through social mediaBPeople in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver. Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida, Nevada and California. They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road.The high tech company Google has a number of self­driving cars, which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August. Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020.In September, California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state. “Today we're looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality —the driverless car.〞 The technology for these cars includes cameras, radar and motion sensors. The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U. S. government agency DARPA. Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races.Cars have become much more fuel­efficient, and new electronic features are making Hondas safer, said Angie Nucci of Honda America. “A camera on the passenger­side mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes.〞 Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars. These systems help drivers, but don't replace them. Curator Leslie Kendall of the PetersenAutomotiveMuseum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer.“By taking out drivers, you also remove most risks of an accident,〞 Kendall said. He said, “Consumers, however, may be unwilling to lose control. It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable, but it will have to prove itself first.〞Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable. He said this will happen as the technology is improved.5.According to the passage, California Governor Jerry Brown ________.A.is for the idea of having driverless carsB.sponsored the DARPA competition to improve the driverless systemC.has already bought a new autonomous carD.thinks that driving safety is the most important issue in his state6.What is the role of the systems mentioned in Paragraph 3?A.They can help cars run much faster.B.They can take the place of drivers now.C.They can make cars run without fuel.D.They can help people drive more safely.7.In Kendall's opinion, who probably don't rely on the driverless cars at first?A.Managers in the high tech company Google.B.Officers from the U. S. government agency DARPA.C.Car consumers.D.Vehicle designers.8.According to Richard Mason, what is the biggest challenge for driverless cars?A.They need to have more comfortable seats.B.They are now too expensive for consumers.C.They are travelling at a low speed.D.They are not favored by car racers.COne afternoon last week, I saw three tearful children from my son's school being comforted by te achers.That morning, my 11­year­old son had stomach pains, retching (干呕) into a bowl.Talking to other mothers later, I heard about other children with stomachache or difficulty sleeping the night before.What caused so much pain?Sports day.Sports day might be necessary at a highly­competitive independent school, but not at a village primary school.For the children who can fly like the wind, sports day causes no problem.For those who areoverweight or just not good at sport, it is a nightmare (噩梦).Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents, it can prove a disaster.Why do we put our children through this annual suffering?Some may say competition is character building; or it's taking part, not winning, that's important;or that it is a tradition of school life.I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm, lots of shouting — and were fun to watch.More importantly, the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyone's eyes.Some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side.I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other l ess­competitive event.Perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch.9.What can we learn about the author's son from Paragraph 1?A.He talked with some mothers.B.He comforted his classmates.C.He had difficulty in sleeping.D.He suffered from stomachache.10.Sports day is still an annual event in this school probably because________.A.this is an independent schoolB.it is a tradition of the schoolC.it helps children lose weightD.children enjoy watching sports11.What does the author think about team games?A.They should include more stressful races.B.They are acceptable to different children.C.They should be abandoned at primary schools.D.They are less fun for those who love running.12.What is the author's attitude towards sports day?A.Critical.B.Neutral.C.Positive.D.Ambiguous.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(2016·江西省吉安市模拟)1.________ You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how:Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. 2.________ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class. 3.________ Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 4.________ If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you'll remember it longer.Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't be over worried.5.________ You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.A.There are other methods that might help you with your studying.B.Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.C.Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.D.No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.E.Maybe you are an average student.F.Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.G.This will help you understand the next class.Ⅲ.语法填空(2016·太原市第二学段测评)When I was ten years old, I broke my arm. My parents were really busy with their work, so they took me to my 1.________ (grandparent) and asked my grandma to help look after me.At that time my grandma 2.________ (teach) at a school which was just a few miles from her house.

Luckily, there are books for that.The Complete Fairy Tales by Hans Christian AndersenAny reader of fairy tales knows Andersen's responsible for the snowy scenes in The Snow Queen, the story of children Kay and Gerda, who must face the goddess­like woman who controls all snowflakes after Kay is kidnapped.Family Life by Akhil SharmaIt's a beautiful yet tragic novel about an Indian family immigrating to America, only to face entirely new hardships. Sharma's novel isn't entirely set in the wintertime, but his poetic descriptions of winter weather as lovely yet isolating make it a great choice for a December read.Frankenstein by Mary ShelleyGo ahead and give up the movie adaptation that has been produced recently and read or re­read the classic itself. You know the story: a scientist driven by his ambition discovers a method for creating life, and spends two years cobbling together a living creature, who later feels angry with him.An American Childhood by Annie DillardDillard's first book is, as its title suggests, about her change from being a self­centered child to being an adult more concerned with the world around her than with her own personal concerns. Her parents are key figures in the story. One famous scene takes place during what the author calls “a big snow”, in 1950.语篇解读:本文主要介绍了四本文学名著的作者、内容简介等相关信息。
