Ⅳ.完形填空Some people believe that women are better drivers than men.__1__， others think that women make worse drivers.The idea that women make __2__ drivers is a stereotype (刻板印象)．It comes from a time when women drove less than men, and __3__was seen as a man's responsibility.There are certainly __4__ views on this controversial question, __5__ there are a number of reasons why a woman's personality makes her a more competent (能胜任的) driver.Firstly, women are more patient and polite towards other road __6__， such as pedestrians and cyclists.In stressful situations they are more likely to stay __7__，and less likely to be involved in “road rage (愤怒)” incidents.Secondly, female drivers are more __8__ so they take fewer risks, for example when overtaking.Thirdly, they are more responsible and __9__ they tend not to drive when tired or after drinkingalcohol.__10__， many people argue that women cause accidents because they may react slowly because they __11__ confidence.In addition, they are __12__ disturbed, for example, by children in the car.Research also __13__ that women find map reading more __14__ than men, and can have problems with the difference between left and right.Despite the fact that women have more accidents, __15__ is often cheaper for them because the accidents tend to be minor.In particular, women have accidents when parking.This is because women often have __16__ spatial (空间的) awareness.In contrast, men tend to __17__ more serious accidents.To sum up, it can be seen that women make __18__ drivers than men because of their __19__.This is generally __20__ by the fact that women have fewer accidents and pay lower insurance than men.On balance, it is clear that women are less competitive and aggressive than men behind the wheel and therefore better drivers.1．A.Besides B．HoweverC．Otherwise D．Therefore2．A.brighter B．betterC．worse D．nicer3．A.driving B．workingC．teaching D．inventing4．A.popular B．strongC．positive D．different5．A.since B．unlessC．although D．when6．ers B．plannersC．engineers D．cleaners7．A.quiet B．silentC．calm D．healthy8．A.cautious B．honestC．dangerous D．nervous9．A.still B．yetC．even D．thus10．A.At the same time B．In factC．On the other hand D．In general11．A.have B．lackC．share D．lose12．A.easily B．slightlyC．normally D．unexpectedly13．A.studies B．producesC．explores D．shows14．A.interesting B．importantC．difficult D．relaxing15．A.route B．insuranceC．license D．equipment16．A.poor B．deepC．direct D．full17．A.survive B．causeC．prevent D．record18．A.cleverer B．happierC．greater D．safer19．A.confidence B．habitC．faith D．personality20．A.decided B．supportedC．affected D．expressedⅤ.阅读理解AIn the 1940s, Lena Horne was the first AfricanAmerican in Hollywood to signa longterm contract with a major movie studio.Her deal with MGM stated that she would nev er play the role of a servant.During this period, AfricanAmerican actors were mostly limited to playing servants or African natives.But this refusal also limited her movie career.Horne was generally only offered the role of a nightclub singer.Her characters did not interact with white characters in these movies.This way, her part could be cut from the version of the movie that played in Southern States.Lena Horne later wrote that the movie producers did not make her into a servant, but they did not make her into anything else, either.Lena Horne once said that World War Ⅱ helped make her a star.She was popular with both black and white servicemen.She sang on army radio programs and traveled to perform for the troops.During one event, she noted that German prisoners of war were permitted to sit closer to the stage than black soldiers.These experiences led to Lena Horne's work in the civil rights movement.She protested racial separation at the hotels where she performed.She took action so that she and her musicians would be permitted to stay in those hotels.Black musicians at the time generally stayed in black neighborhoods.Lena Horne also sang at civil rights gatherings.She took part in the March on Washington protest in 1963.It was during this event that Ma rtin Luther King Junior gave his “I Have a Dream” speech.Lena Horne performed in a strong and expressive way.One expert said she was not warm and amiable like white female singers at the time.Instead, she was a fierce black woman.1．From Paragraph 2, we know that Lena Horne's deal with MGM ________.A．won her a lot of respectB．didn't bring her any good rolesC．made her popular in the USD．made her become a famous singer2．When Lena Horne saw how German prisoners and black soldiers were seated, how did she most probably feel?A．Angry. B．Satisfied.C．Interested. D．Moved.3．Paragraph 4 mainly tells about Lena Horne's ________.A．hope for a bright futureB．effort she put into musicC．effort against racial separationD．relationship with Martin Luther King Junior4．What does the underlined word “amiable” in the last paragraph mean?A．Ugly. B．Boring.C．Brave. D．Friendly.BAron Anderson, aged 10, lives on the small island of Out Skerries, which sits hundreds of miles off the coast of Scotland and is home to just 70 people.Since Anderson's older brothers and their friends moved to secondary school earlier this year, Anderson has become the only kid at his school.The 10yearold made headlines last week when The Telegraph reported how Anderson only had his dog and a few local ducks for company.His story of isolation touched the hearts of the general public so much that there's now a campaign for strangers to send him Christmas cards — and it's getting worldwide support.The campaign was shared on Reddit by moderator (主持人) BesottedScot, who said he was moved by Anderson's story.The moderator decided to ask his fellow Internet users to send the little boy Christmas cards.“I phoned his school to let them know that I was planning this, and that I suggested his parents or his teacher help him open the cards，” said BesottedScot.“We have 20,000 subscribers (用户) here and if even 1% of you send a card, that's 200 cards to a lonely boy to cheer his Christmas right up.I hope you'll do me the favor and send some nice cards.I really want him to get a big smile on his face, so please write a message in the card to show your support，” adds the Reddit moderator.Many people have responded to the call saying they'll send the little boy a Christmas card, including people from Canada and the US.And BesottedScot has asked that people send the cards on 7 December, so they will all arrive around the same time.5．What does the underlined word “isolation” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Courage. B．Experience.C．Loneliness. D．Friendship.6．With his words in Paragraph 4, BesottedScot is actually ________.A．giving an order B．making an appealC．making a comment D．giving an explanation7．For Anderson, this Christmas will be a time of ________.A．joy B．sorrowC．trouble D．opportunity8．What's the best title for the text?A．Life of the loneliest schoolboy in BritainB．A poor schoolboy is eager for Christmas cardsC．A school project gets support from the InternetD．The loneliest schoolboy to get a merry Christmas课下能力提升(三)Ⅰ.1.audience 2.intend 3.generation 4．deliver 5.rate 6.kindness 7.sickness8．referred 9.considerate 10.modestⅡ.1.by chance 2.second to ter on 4.caught my eye e across 6.looked down upon 7.referred to 8.carry on 9.is intended for 10.free fromⅢ.1.referred to 2.met her by chance 3.is intended for 4.deliver a speech 5.carry on withⅣ.1．解析：选B 前后句之间表示转折关系，故用“然而(However)”。

2021-2022学年高中英语人教版必修四习题：Unit 2课下能力提升八 Word版含答案
Unit 2 课下力量提升(八)Ⅰ.阅读理解Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have undergone an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forwardlooking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more correct records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how many animals to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future.Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. The complete robotization of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.1．What does the underlined word “forwardlooking” in the second paragraph mean?A．Farseeing. B．Young.C．Experienced. D．Fortunate.2．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Farmers in the future will depend totally on computers.B．Both computers and robots have been in use on today's farms.C．Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present.D．Students at agricultural colleges must take computer classes because they can do nothing without the help of computers on today's farms.3．By writing the passage, the author intends to ________.A．impress upon readers that computers are farmers' best friendsB．tell readers what farmers in the future are likeC．inform readers of the technological progress in agricultureD．help readers to compare computers and robotsⅡ.任务型阅读One of the toughest things to do when getting to know people professionally is remembering their names. And it's also an extremely useful skill to have in your daily life. 1.________ Here are some tricks to remembering any name：Ask for their business card.When you meet someone in a working situation, ask for their business card. Write down a few notes about the person and his appearance so you can tell him from the other people you've met. 2.________ 3．________At the end of your conversation, ask the person you're speaking with to repeat his name just to make sure you have it right. Hearing it once more will help you memorize it as well.Visualize (视觉化) an image.4．________ For example, if you meet a Catherine, then try to connect the image of a cat with her. That way, when you meet the woman again, the image of a cat will arise, and it will be easy to work out what her name is.Inject it into conversation.Say the person's name as often as you can during the conversation without getting him/her awkward. For example, inserting the name casually in sentences like “I really agree with you, John” or “5.________” will do wonders for memorizing names.A．You can always turn to the card for help if you forget his or her name.B．Attach an image to the name.C．Repeat it in your mind.D．Showing a stranger you remembered his/her name can leave a good impression.E．John, how do you like living in the city?F．Create an attractive image.G．Ask again.Ⅲ.完形填空I delivered a speech I had prepared for weeks. The three __1__ were announced but I wasn't among them.Losing is a part of life. __2__， it was an unbearable feeling after I had made so many __3__，and yet still failed. I thought of Lincoln who lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race but never __4__ it.I spent many hours in libraries making __5__ for the Lincoln Bicentennial (二百周年纪念的) SpeechContest. After reading his biography, I found Lincoln met with many __6__， but that he never gave in to them. While many history lessons can be applied to __7__ life, I hadn't considered “the agony (苦痛) of defeat” a historically valuable learning experience. I never dreamed I could __8__ Lincoln!I thought “__9__ successfully” was a very appropriate topic, given many defeats Li ncoln experienced, so this became the __10__ of my speech.After failing the speech contest, I really wanted to __11__ again. Lincoln had been an example of persistence (坚持), so I was not going to __12__. I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I was __13__.I couldn't accept the __14__ that I had failed twice in what I had worked so hard on, until I __15__ the man whom I'd spent so much time learning about. Never mind the lost __16__ —I had learned from a great man who had __17__ failure and disappointment. I remembered Lincoln because he never gave up and persevered in his efforts to become the greatest American president.While I did not earn awards in this contest, I gained a new __18__. Through learning about Lincoln, I've discovered I can fail successfully, and that it is __19__ to learn from those great historical people. Now, whenever facing difficulties, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful Senate race：“The __20__ was slippery. My foot slipped, but I recovered and said to myself, ‘It's a slip and not a fall.’”1．A.winners B．listenersC．competitors D．speakers2．A.Therefore B．AlsoC．Besides D．However3．A.changes B．effortsC．mistakes D．contributions4．A.faced B．caughtC．minded D．beat5．A.forecasts B．translationsC．promises D．preparations6．A.failures B．attractionsC．successes D．desires7．A.busy B．longC．modern D．normal8．A.ask B．understandC．control D．disobey9．A.acting B．livingC．thinking D．failing10．A.title B．endingC．question D．award11．A.cry B．leaveC．compete D．achieve12．e in B．put offC．hold on D．give up13．A.cheated B．defeatedC．moved D．honored14．A.explanation B．ruleC．fact D．decision15．A.forgot B．becameC．remembered D．appreciated16．A.goal B．prizeC．treasure D．friend17．A.expected B．dislikedC．avoided D．experienced18．A.lesson B．rewardC．dream D．topic19．A.difficult B．possibleC．useless D．late20．A.path B．handC．window D．soapⅣ.语法填空Peter: I'm sorry, Mary, I'm late.

What would you like 2.________ (drink)?Peter: I'd love a bottle of mineral water.Mary: The waitress 3.________ (be) back in a moment. Why are you so late? Did anything happen?Peter: Yes.

And lots of bad behavior still exists in our school, what does great harm to the image of our school. Therefore, I strong urge that we students stop throwing rubbish everywhere and spitting in the public. Besides, everyone must discipline himself not make dirty marks or waste food. Such bad manner as smoking and fighting should also be removed from our campus. With the same time, we should also encourage students to help each other and have health competitions. Once again I'm here earnestly calling on everyone to take action to making our school a nicer place.课下力量提升(八)Ⅰ.1．解析：选A 词义猜想题。

encouraging people to be creative with the slogan “Think outside the shoe.”1．What encourages Jessica to keep dancing for so many years?A．The support of her family.B．Her dance teacher's words.C．The help of the other students.D．Her success in the first performance.2．Why did Jessica major in psychology in university?A．Because psychology is the best subject in her university.B．Because psychology

motivational speakerC．Exploring the world with feetD．Being creative as a studentBJapanese bookseller Yoshiyuki Morioka has come up with a highly unusual concept for a bookstore.He sells books of a

Unit 1 课下能力提升(四)Ⅰ.阅读理解Following Christmas dinner, my family was relaxing around the kitchen table. We were discussing the delicious meal we had just had. Dad had risen from his chair and was standing nearby.My nephew began playing with his new basketball around the table. Upon nearing Dad, he stopped. With shaking, wrinkled hands, Dad had reached out for the ball. He did not speak, and the boy looked at us in confusion. After a few seconds, he carefully passed the ball to Dad. I watched my father closely to see what he would do. A playful smile appeared on his face. Holding the ball and reaching forward, Dad bounced it on the floor and then caught it.This action was repeated. Smiling with satisfaction, he then turned towards us. Gently tossing (投掷) the ball away, Dad began a game of catch.The ball continued to be passed through pairs of outstretched hands. Cries of “Over here！”rang through the warm kitchen. Dad's active participation in this game was remarkable to me, since he had dementia (痴呆)．This disease had robbed him of many memories and the recognition of people, places and points in time. Despite this, Dad clearly recognized the ball and what he could do with it.In my younger years, playing with Dad was rare. He worked hard and provided for us, but never showed nor shared much emotion.His favorite game was chess, which he once taught me how to play. But after his illness, connecting moments between father and son had been few before he took the basketball.I'm not sure how long we played the game. Watching the clock was not important. Dad happily led us until he began to tire.I know that that moment will certainly last forever.This Christmas, Dad gave me a special memory — one that I will always treasure.1．The method the writer uses to develop the second paragraph is________．A．offering analyses B．providing detailsC．giving examples D．making comparisons2．The author's father's active participation in the game surprised the authorbecause________．A．it was the first time he had taken part in such a gameB．he was able to recognize his family members clearlyC．he could have a rest and relax by playing the ball gameD．he could recognize the ball and react accordingly, despite his illness 3．What can we learn about the author's father from the text?A．His sickness made it difficult for him to recognize people.B．When the author was young, he spent a lot of time playing with him.C．He taught the author how to play basketball and the game of catch.D．He worked hard and liked to share his feelings with his family.4．What would be the best title for this text?A．A Son's LoveB．A Father's SmilesC．The Happiness of a Sick FatherD．Unforgettable Memories at ChristmasⅡ.任务型阅读As a parent, you must have a lot of concerns about the various skills you would like your child to acquire.

We shall all be grateful to the pioneers of online shopping for bringing us such convenience.Michael Aldrich (the U．K.)Online shopping was invented and pioneered by Michael Aldrich in the U．K. In 1979 he connected a television via a telephone line to a realtime multiuser transaction (交易) processing puter. He sold mainly BusinesstoBusiness systems. There were a number of significant world firsts with new applications in several business fields.Jeff Bezos (the U．S.A.)Jeff Bezos defined online shopping and rewrote the rules of merce. Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web server and browser (浏览器) in 1990. In 1994, Jeff Bezos read an article about how the World Wide Web was growing by 2,300% a year. He knew he had to tap into such a great potential for merce. On July 6, 1995, Bezos launched Amazon, which operated out of the garage of his twobedroom home in suburban Seattle, Washington.
