Unit1考点透视考例回顾1. Sitting in his now-famous wheelchair... Hawking told the students about his theories and thoughts... (Reading)【考点】-ing形式作状语时,其逻辑主语应该与句子的主语保持一致。
本句中的sitting动作由Hawking发出。
【考例1】Finding her car stolen, _____.A. a policeman was asked to helpB. the area was searched thoroughlyC. it was looked for everywhereD. she hurried to a policeman for help【解析】find动作应该由人来发出,所以句子的主语应该指人。
A、D两项主语都是人,据句意可知,应选D。
此句可以转换成:When she found her car stolen, she hurried to a policeman for help.【考例2】Suddenly, a tall man driving a golden carriage____ the girl and took her away, _____ in the woods.A. seizing; disappearedB. seized; disappearedC. seizing;disappearingD. seized; disappearing【解析】由题中的and可知,第一空所填词应与took并列,所以用seized;disappear 是不及物动词所以用其-ing形式作状语;disappearing的逻辑主语就是句子的主语a tall man,故选D。
2. Do you have anything that you want to add?(Grammar)【考点】当谓语动词为be, have, give, bring等时,作定语的不定式常用主动式表示被动含义。

Driftwood or Tidesreach CottageD. Tidesreach Cottage or Sandpiper23. It can be inferred that the places are mainly intended for____.A. childrenB. young couplesC. the disabledD. familiesBIt’s a little known fact that August 13th is celebrated as Left-handers’day throughout the world. A number of left-handers’associations celebrate it and draw attention to this special day but it is not done enough.We have not heard of left-handed parades(游行) or large parties. There will always be some mention of this day in a few newspapers or local TV stations that can be easily missed by public at large. The question is what we can do to bring more attention to Left-handers’Day.On August 13th, 1976 an organization known as Left-handers International first declared this holiday. This organization served as a source of information for left-handers. It also sold left-handed products for several years before going out ofbusiness. No one really picked it up from there. Now, it’s up to individuals (个人) and local organizations to celebrate this day.To celebrate Left-handers’Day, you can organize a party and invite left-handers from your family, neighborhood, workplace or school. Also, don’t forget to invite your right-handed friends. Give your good wishes to all the left-handers you know and send them cards/e-cards. Buy a gift, preferably a left-handed product, for a special left-handed friend.On August 13th, wear a T-shirt that says something about left-handers or the left-hander’s day. Let your local newspaper and TV station know about Left-hander’s Day by writing to them. Write to your senator (参议员), congressmen (众议员), mayor etc. informing them about left-hander’s day. Send cards to left-handed celebrities (名人), wishing them a happy Left-hander’s Day. If you are a school teacher or are associated with school activities, educate the kids about Left-handers’Day.If you have any other suggestions, please let us know. We will add it to this list. Also, if you have a local left-handers’association, tell us about it and we will help you spread the word so that you can attract new members. Finally, send us photos, stories, articles on how you have celebrated Left-handers’Day and we will publish them here.24. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that Left-handers’Day____.A. is often celebrated with paradesB. is drawing more and more attentionC. is not known by many peopleD. is seldom mentioned in any newspaper25. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. How to celebrate Left-handers’Day.B. History of Left-handers’Day.C. Advantages of being left-handed.D. How the date was chosen for Left-handers’Day.26. T o celebrate Left-handers’Day, you are advised in the passage to____.A. wear a special T-shirt to celebrate the dayB. use your left hand to write cards to left-handersC. hold a party that doesn’t include right-handersD. ask left-handed celebrities to celebrate it in public27. The passage was written mainly to____.A. collect people’s opinions about being left-handedB. introduce left-handed celebritiesC. promote Left-handers’DayD. encourage left-handed people to live a normal lifeCA jobless man applied for the position of “office boy”at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.“You are employed,”he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send youthe application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.”The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, neither an e-mail.”“I’m sorry,”said the HR manager. “If you don’t have an e-mail, that means you do not exist. And whoever doesn’t exist cannot have the job.”The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only ten dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital (资本). He repeated the operation three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars.The man realized that he can survive in this way, and started to go every day earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet (车队) of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US.He started to plan his family’s future and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker and chose a protection plan.When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his e-mail. The man replied, “I don’t have an e-mail.”The broker answered curiously, “You don’t have an e-mail, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail? ”The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at Microsoft!”28. Why can’t the man have the job at Microsoft?A. Because he was lazy.B. Because he didn’t pass the test.C. Because he didn’t have a computer.D. Because he didn’t have an e-mail.29. The underlined word “triple”can be replaced by____.A. become 3 timesB. become largeC. increase quicklyD. decrease quickly30. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. The man is one of the biggest food retailers in the world.B. The man didn’t give up though he failed the interview.C. He started his career by selling tomatoes in the supermarket.D. Those who have e-mails can work at Microsoft.31. Which proverb can best describe the story?A. Accidents will happen.B. Business is business.C. Misfortune may be an actual blessing.D. No pains, no gains.DWhat should you think about in trying to find your career (职业)? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your recordsshow a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.32. Which of the following best sums up (总结) the first paragraph?A. The importance of doing well at school.B. The importance of being good at all subjects.C. Using school performance to help to choose a career.D. The indirect value of school work.33. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably____.A. a waste of time that could have been spent on studyB. a good way to earn extra moneyC. useful for his future workD. a good way to find out his weak points34. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting?A. History.B. English.C. T echnical Drawing.D. Mathematics.35. The whole passage centers on____.A. developing one’s abilities useful in school workB. acquiring knowledge by working hard at schoolC. finding one’s strong and weak pointsD. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The air hostess spoke to her, but the old lady said, “I have never been in a plane before , and I am frightened. I am going to keep this blanket over my head until we are back on the ground again !”Then the captain came. He said, “Madam, I am the captain of this plane. The weather is fine, there are no clouds in the sky, and everything is going very well. ”But she continued to hide.So the captain turned and started to go back. Then the old lady looked out from under the blanket with one eye and said, “I am sorry, young man, but I don’t like planes and I am never going to fly again. But I’ll say one thing, ”She continued kindly, “You and your wife keep your plane very clean!”1. An old lady had ___________.A. a blanket over her head B glasses C. a coat D. a basket2.

The woman didn’t like planes and she was never going ___________.A. to travelB. to fly againC. to go abroadD. to go homeBIt was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived.They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around，and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached，and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn't last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now，the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.4. From Paragraph 1，we learn that the villagers________.A. worked very hard for centuriesB. dreamed of having a better lifeC. lived a different life from their forefathersD. were poor but somewhat content5. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?A. They needed money to buy medicine.B. The frogs were easy money.C. They wanted to please the visitors.D. The frogs made too much noise.6. What might be the cause of the children's sickness?A. The crops didn't do well.B. The pesticides were overused.C. The visitors brought in diseases.D. There were too many insects.7. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.B. Health is more important than money.C. Good old days will never be forgotten.D. The harmony between man and nature is important.C King's College Summer SchoolKing's College Summer School is an annual( 每年的) training program for high school students at all levels who want to improve their English.

——————————新学期新成绩新目标新方向——————————2019学年度第二学期期末考试高二英语试卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AStarted in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the many colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard's law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There's so much to learn that one kind of school can't offer it all.1. From the second paragraph, we can see that in the early years, ______.A. those colleges and universities were the sameB. people, young or old, might study in the collegesC. students studied only some languages and scienceD. when the students finished their school, they became lawyers or teachers2. Modern languages the Harvard taught in 1825 were ______.A. Latin and GreekB. Latin, Green, French and GermanC. American history and GermanD. French and German3. On the whole, the passage is about _______.A. how to start a universityB. the world-famous colleges in AmericaC. what kind of lesson each college teachesD. how colleges have changedBAt thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊断）with a kind of attention disorder. It made schooldifficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said,“ Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her gl asses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind perso n, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?”4.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because ________.A. He was new to the classB. He was tried of literatureC. He had an attention disorderD. He wanted to take the task home5.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passageA. He had good sightB. He made a great invention.C. He gave up readingD. He learned a lot from school6.What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?A. AngryB. ImpatientC. SympatheticD. Encouraging7.What is the main idea of the passageA. The disabled should be treated with respect.B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.CHome to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia (怀旧). It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we ran remember pain, live, and some other experiences: We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home.I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty, but it's where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween---when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and ajump on it anytime --- waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property (住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, becauseI want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I'm home.8. Why does the author call her parents' bed her "safe zone"(Paragraph 3)?A. It is her favorite place to play.B. Her needs can be satisfied there.C. Her grandparents' photos are lined on each side.D. Her parents always play together with her there.9. What can be learned from the passage?A. The old furniture is still in the author's first bedroom.B. The author can still visit her first physical home in Los Angeles.C. The author's favorite room in her first home is the dining room.D. Many people of the author's age can still find their first physical homes.10. Sometimes when she feels lost, the author will _______.A. Open the window at nightB. lie down in bed to have a dreamC. try to bring back a sense of homeD. go to Los Angeles to visit her mom11. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To express how much she is attached to her home.B. To declare how much she loves her first house.C. To describe the state of her family.D. To look back on her childhood.DWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note--- “Please add a bottle of buttermilk nextdelivery”---and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service. Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside. I took it home and planted it on the back porch（门廊）. Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.12. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer ________.A. to show his magical powerB. to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosityD. to please his mother13. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?A. He wanted to have tea there.B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member.D. He was fully trusted by the family.14. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is forbidden by law.15. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He needed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项How to choose a good bookMake a list answering these questions.What type of books do you like?

You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve (解决) things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for his should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy (隐私). Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.4. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents ______.A. how to get along with a teenagerB. how to respect a teenagerC. how to understand a teenagerD. how to help a teenager grow up5. What does the phrase “clam up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. become excitedB. show respectC. refuse to talkD. seek help6. The last paragraph is about how to teach a teenager ______.A. to use the phone in a sensible wayB. to pay for his own telephoneC. to share the phone with friendsD. to answer the phone quickly7. What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text?A. Not allow him to learn driving or take drugs.B. Give him advice only when necessary.C. Let him have his own telephone.D. Not talk about personal things with him.CLast week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.8. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?A. He was silent most of the time.B. He was too proud of himself.C. He did not love his children.D. He expected too much of her.9. When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel .A. nervousB. sorryC. tiredD. safe10. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?A. More critical.B. More talkativeC. Gentle and friendly.D. Strict and hard-working.11. The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to .A. the author’s sonB. the author’s fatherC. the friend of the author’s fatherD. the café ownerDOur “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,”Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves（应得到）to be an only child at least once in a while.12. What is the text mainly about?A. The experience of the only child being with mother.B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.C. The happy life of two families.D. The basic needs of children.13. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.A. happyB. curiousC. regretfulD. friendly14. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?A. The daughter acts like a leader.B. Sam holds her hand more often.C. The boys become better followers.D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.15. The author seems to believe that ___________.A. having brothers and sisters is funB. it’s tiring to look after three childrenC. every child needs parents’ full attentionD. parents should watch others’ children第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The more the butterfly struggled to free itself, the deeper the thorns cut into its fragile body. The young girl carefully released the butterfly from the thorns. Instead of flying away, the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy（仙女）. The young girl rubbed her eyes in disbelief."For your wonderful kindness," the good fairy said to the girl, "I will make any wish you would like to have come true."The little girl thought for a moment and then replied, "I want to be happy."The fairy said, “Very well.” And she whispered in her ear.

But the area about 200 miles east of Salt Lake City was too remote. He remembered the survival skills his father taught him. As night fell and temperatures dipped into the 30s, Malachi wrapped his T-shirt around his legs. He huddled(蜷缩)in his jacket to protect himself from the weather between the rocks. The remaining warmth helped him get through the night. Over the nearly 30 hours he was missing in the rough and remote country area, he found river water to drink. And he even tried unsuccessfully to catch a fish with a spear made from a stick.Meanwhile, dozens of search-and-rescue workers were combing the area but they could not find Malachi in the wooded landscape. Back at Paul Lake, his father, Danny Bradley, and a friend who had joined them for the camping were keeping a fire burning. They hoped the boy might wander back on his own.The next day, Malachi heard a police helicopter flying overhead. He knew the searchers aboard the craft could not see him through the trees. So he started walking again until he found a clearing. He stayed there and briefly fell asleep until a search plane spotted him from the air. A helicopter landed to pick him up on Aug.32. Medical staff said he was cold and hungry but fine.Malachi said he would go camping again.
