外研版高考英语一轮总复习课后习题 必修第一册Unit 2 Exploring English (2)
Unit2 Ey childhood,I constantly dreamed of being an only child—having no one around to fight with,to share with,to grab the remote control away from me in the middle of a “big game”. But I have an elder sister,whom I have always called “Kicki,” instead of her real name Christie,because I used to have trouble pronouncing the“r” and “s”.I started playing basketball in primary school.My dad was the coach of my team,and my mom kept scoring.So my sister,not old enough to stay home alone,was forced to come to all my games.I remember looking toward the stands for my mother’s approval and seeing my sister’s face,confused.It was obvious that she wasn’t excited,but she cheered along with the crowd anyway.On the car ride home,my parents and I would relive the game.My sister sat in the back seat with me in silence,not knowing how or when to enter the conversation.Often,she would say,“Good game,Brad.” I would smile and thank her but never took itseriously.She couldn’t possibly know whether I had played well or not.I t wasn’t until I reached high school that I realized how popular she was,and I was referred to as “Christie’s little brother”.I played basketball in high school,and although Christie wasn’t forced to attend my games anymore,she still came to cheer me every week.In the last game of the last season,she came with a large group of friends.Printed on her shirt,in big bright red letters,were the words “BRAD’S SISTER.” Suddenly I was embarrassed,not for her presence,but for my previous attitude to her praise.Kicki left for college after that game.I finally have the remote control all to myself.However,watching TV alone has turned out to be boring.I went to visit her at college during a weekend,and as I stood outside her dorm,waiting for her to come out,a friend of hers whom I didn’t know walked past me and asked,“Hey,aren’t you Christie’s brother?” I smiled broadly and said proudly,“Yeah,I am.I’m Christie’s brother.”1.How did Brad feel about being an only child when he was young?A.Boring.B.Awesome.C.Tough.D.Awful.2.Why did Christie go to Brad’s games when he was in primary school?A.She hoped to know more about Brad.B.She was interested in basketball games.C.She was too young to be left alone at home.D.She wanted to spend more time with her family.3.Why did Brad feel embarrassed according to the last but one paragraph?A.He treated Christie’s praise lightly before.B.He forgot Christie’s presence at his last game.C.He saw the big bright red letters on Christie’s shirt.D.He received unwanted attention from Christie’s friends.4.What can be inferred about Christie?A.She was proud of Brad.B.She didn’t like watching TV.C.She enjoyed Brad’s calling her Kicki.D.She seldom went home during college.BIn late ,a post on Tweet spread quickly:“Another day of staring at the big screen while scrolling through my little screen so as to reward myself for staring at the media screen all week.” It seems right on.We are glued to our screens.And it’s not only about watching movies and scrolling through TikTok (抖音).As remote work has set in,we’re relying entirely on digital tools to keep in touch with each other and get our work done.This has led to a worrisome spike in “digital intensity (强度)”.A new survey from Microsoft tracked the habits of more than 30,000 users in 31 countries over ,and the results are alarming.The good news is that something as simple as a 10-minute break,if used correctly,can help reduce the effects of digital intensity.“If you give yourself a break,and do something like mediation,reading,drawing—anything that turns your brain to something more relaichael Bohan,the director of Microsoft’s HumanFactors Engineering Lab,“the brain will begin to produce alpha waves.” After the break,“you’ll be more engaged and focused,”he adds.“Taking breaks lets you refresh,and maintain better brain health across the day.”Finding new ways to connect with our colleagues,and reducing the number of daily online meetings,emails and virtual check-ins will do more than “reduce the digital load”.It will also pave (铺设) the way for a reinvented workplace,which most ebination of old and new.“We need to look at every process,”says Bohan,“and ask:Why are we doing this? Is there a way to do this more effectively? Let’s not repeat what we’ve always done.Let’s figure out how to do it better.”5.What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A.The popularity of digital products.B.The reason for the rise of remote work.C.Our deep dependence on digital tools.D.The influence of social software on our life.6.What does the under lined word “spike” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.A sharp increase.B.A sudden problem.C.An abrupt drop.D.An unexpected result.7.What can we infer about the function of alpha waves mentioned in paragraph 3?A.It makes us sleep better.B.It helps improve concentration.C.It causes tension and anmunication ways.8.Which can help reduce digital load?A.Following a daily online check-in system.B.Holding fewer everyday video meetings.C.Contacting workmates through social media apps.ing emails to communicate as much as possible.Ⅱ.完形填空One day,my 12-year-old daughter participated in a school poetry reading event.All her classmates were invited to write a “lie poem” about how 1 they were and read them aloud.They were supposed to 2 untruths about themselves that made them sound 3 wonderful.As I listened to the poems,I realized that the children were actually 4 the picture of their future.By “lying” to themselves,they were creating a 5 of who they wanted to be in the future.I couldn’t help a dmiring the school for 6 the children to dream big in such a special way,even if it might not be the first intention.In fact,most of us are 7 to see the truth of who we could be.My daughter’s school developed an unintended 8 to that difficulty:If it’s hard for you to imagine the 9 in yourself,then you might want to begin by expressing it as a10 ,as did the children who wrote the poems.Think up some stories about who you would like to be.In due course,this 11 exercise would help you build the necessary blueprint for 12 your achievements.Without a picture of your13 self,you can’t live into that self.So 14 it till you make it.The lie will become the 15 in the end.1.A.rich B.busyC.greatD.smart2.A.point out B.make upC.hold backD.rely on3.A.unbelievably B.unconsciouslyC.unacceptablyD.unreasonably4.A.eiring D.clarifying5.A.sample B.visionC.messageD.principle6.A.forcing B.requestingC.motivatingD.warning7.A.unable B.anxiousC.nervousD.unwilling8.A.excuse B.balanceC.solutionD.connection9.A.interest B.courageC.expectationD.potential10.A.fantasy B.fortuneC.benefitD.reference11.A.healthy B.creativeC.gentleD.formal12.A.ensuring rmingC.stretchingD.measuring13.A.highest B.biggestC.happiestD.bravest14.A.stop B.forgetC.hideD.pretend15.A.dream B.realityC.memoryD.nightmareⅢ.读后续写阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

【2016走向高考】高三英语一轮复习 高考专项突破2 外研版 A Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes. Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力) to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped(淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They_live_in_too_ big_a_house_with_too_many_rooms,_yet_their_house_of_life_is_a_hut. Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅), a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have. Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry. Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library. Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills. Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit. Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding. 语篇解读：什么是真正的幸福和富有？不是更多的金钱和物质，精神的富有才会真正使你幸福。真正的幸福不是住在一个多么大的房子里。人生的大房子应该是由艺术、文学、音乐、体育等各个“房间”组成的。 1．The author intends to tell us that________. A．true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means B．big houses are people's most valued possessions C．big houses can in a sense bring richness of life D．true happiness es from spiritual riches 答案：D 推理判断题。本文的主旨就是说明真正的幸福是精神的富足，财富、大房子等物质的拥有并不能带来真正的幸福和富足。 2．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that________. A．however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfied B．however materially rich, they remain spiritually poor C．though their house is big, they prefer a simple life D．though their house is big, it seems to be a cage 答案：B 细节理解题。该句的字面意思是“他们住在一所拥有超多房间的超大房子里，然而他们的生命房间却是一间陋舍。”，结合本文主旨大意，可知此处应是想说尽管他们物质富有，但却精神贫瘠，故B项正确。 3．It can be learned from the passage that ________. A．more money brings more happiness B．art is needed to make your house beautiful C．literature can enrich your spiritual life D．sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness 答案：C 推理判断题。A项意为“更多的金钱可以带来更多的幸福”，明显与文章主题不符；艺术(art)是使人精神生活充实，而非使房子更漂亮，排除B项；运动(sports)在生活当中意义丰富，而非仅仅使你身体健康，排除D项。只有C项“文学可以丰富你的精神生活”符合本文的观点。 4．What would be the best title for the passage? A．House of Life B．Secret of Wealth C．Rest and Refreshment D．Interest and Enthusiasm 答案：A 主旨大意题。本文的主要意思就是说明物质上的大房间并不是真正的富足，而是拥有艺术、文学、音乐、体育等“房间”的生命的房间(house of life)才是真正的富有，才能够给你带来更多的幸福。 B (2014·新课标Ⅰ，C) A typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭) and a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but it's mostly for show. In reality, it's the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion bees confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair. How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight, start a business, travel more)—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress? This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving. It doesn't have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to acplish, someone you want to bee... take immediate action. If you're clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way. 语篇解读：本文通过驯兽时，狮子在面对椅子的四条腿时，不知道该作何选择，联系到我们。我们事实上跟狮子一样，在面对多种选择时会困惑，而此时最好的选择就是迅速作出决定。 5．Why does the lion tamer use a chair? A．To trick the lion. B．To show off his skills. C．To get ready for a fight. D．To entertain the audience.
