Ⅲ.阅读理解
It's hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool's Day.On April 1 each year, people play tricks on each other.These tricks are usually silly rather than mean.Classmates sometimes tie each other's shoelaces to their chairs.Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that scares students before they realize it's only a joke.Newspapers announce fake contests (such as “Win an elephant！”) and report on fake stories (like “UFO” lands in New York City)．
Forget gifts, songs and special foods—those are for the other holidays of the year.On April Fool's Day, the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble)．
One April Fool's Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers.They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria.The chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers were flying everywhere.
Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them.Finally, they caught four of them.But the chickens were wearing numbered tags (商标) around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens No.1, 2, 3, and 5.Where was chicken No.4?
The teachers looked and looked.They couldn't find another chicken.After a few hours, they realized that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place! They've been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.
It's been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool's Day remains one of my favorite memories from those years.
36．What can we infer from the first paragraph on April Fool's Day?
A．Everyone is hard to avoid being fooled on April Fool's Day.
B．Students play jokes on teachers on April Fool's Day.
C．Teachers play tricks on students on April Fool's Day.
D．Newspapers often cheat people.
37．Why did students set chickens free?
A．They wanted to let chickens free.
B．They wanted to let chickens run all round the school.
C．They wanted to see feathers flying.
D．They wanted to play a trick on teachers.
38．How many jokes did the students play on teachers?
A．One.
B．Two.
C．Three.
D．Four.
39．What's the title of the passage?
A．An unforgettable April Fool's Day
B．April Fool's Day
C．The origin of April Fool's Day
D．What do people do on April Fool's Day?
答案
课时作业(十一)
Ⅰ.1.C 考查非谓语动词。keep后所接宾语补足语可为现在分词，也可为过去分词，但himself与remind之间为被动关系，所以选择C项。keep himself reminded of his own dreams “不断提醒他本人记住自己的梦想”。
2．A 考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知，句中的it作形式主语，后面的“________the problem itself is”作真正的主语，该从句缺少表语，故用what引导。
3．D 考查情态动词的用法。句意：她是个文静的姑娘，只要她空闲时，她愿意一个人独自在屋子里听音乐。此处will表示“习惯、倾向”，常译作“总是”。
4．A 考查动词短语辨析。pay off “努力得到了回报”；show off “炫耀”；take off “脱掉；起飞”；set off “出发；引起”。
5．B 考查副词辨析。句意：这种论调貌似有理， 实际上是错误的。fortunately “幸运地”；actually “实际上”；naturally “自然地”；obviously “显而易见地”。根据前后两个句子的逻辑关系可知此处用actually。
6．A 考查动词辨析。convince sb. of sth. “让某人相信某事”；inform sb. of sth. “通知某人某件事”；warn sb. of sth. “警告某人某件事”；remind sb. of sth. “提醒某人某件事”。
7．B 考查动名词复合结构。动名词结构作介词for 的宾语，否定形式在动名词前加not，再加上动作逻辑主语his 放在前面，故选B。
8．D 考查动词的形式。本句子中(that)we had been looking forward to为the trip的后置定语，关系代词that省略，省略的that 充当的是介词to 的宾语，由此可见，主句当中缺少谓语动词。主语为the trip，所以只能选D。
9．B 句意为：她看着书甚至连头都没有抬便说：“那么，再见。”look up from…“从……抬起头来；抬头往上看”，符合语境。
10．C 考查短语辨析。turn up意为“出现”。由but表示转折关系可推知，空格处与promised to come相对比，因此C项符合题意。 turn down “拒绝”；turn out “结果是，证明是”；turn to “转向”。
11．B 考查情态动词的用法。从后面的两个从句来看，这是对过去发生事情的肯定推测，所以用must have done。
12．C 句意为：我们期望有机会看到2017年伦敦奥运会的开幕式。look forward to后面要跟动名词形式，根据语境可知要用被动形式，故C项正确。
13．D 考查情态动词。句意为：你看上去那么疲倦，你肯定又熬夜了。must have done表示对过去事实肯定的推测。所以选择D。
14．C 考查短语辨析。in memory of “纪念，追念”。in place of “代替，取代”；in celebration of “庆祝”；in favour of “赞成，支持”。根据语境选C。
15．D 从句意可推知“这只是一个计谋/诡计”，故选择D。fool “傻子”；event “事件，大事”； performance “表演”，均不符合题意。
Ⅱ.一只眼睛失明后，“我”走路总是看地面，不敢抬起头，生怕被人嘲笑。每当这时候，妈妈总对“我”说：“高高昂起你的头来。”“我”逐渐克服了心理障碍。妈妈的爱和鼓励给了“我”信心和力量。
16．B 考查关系代词的用法。指代指物的先行词a glass rabbit，引导一个非限制性定语从句，所以只能用which。
17．D 考查动词辨析。 leave “留下”。句意为：在“我”的眼睛正中间留下了一个丑陋的疤。achieve “达到，取得”；begin “开始，着手”；survive “生存，存活，幸免于难”。
18．A 考查语境化选词。由上文的“cut my eye badly enough to blind it”可以看出，“我”那只受伤的眼睛已经失明。所以选sightless，意为“看不见的，盲的”。careless “粗心的，漫不经心的”；stainless “无污点的”；tasteless “无滋味的”。
19．C 考查语境化选词。由妈妈让“我”仰起头来，可以看出，“我”为了不让别人看见“我”受伤的眼睛，走在外面总是低头看，所以应该选floor，意为“地面”。
20．D 考查形容词辨析。对应后面的“hurtful remarks(有伤害的评论)”可知因该选embarrassing，意为“使人尴尬的，令人为难的”。句意为：有些时候人们，甚至是陌生人，问我一些尴尬的问题或是说一些伤人的话。outstanding “杰出的，突出的，显著的”；inspiring “激动人心的”；astonishing “令人吃惊的”。
21．A 考查语境化选词。因为自己眼睛上大的伤疤，在做游戏时，“我”总是得演怪物(monster)。angel “天使”；acquaintance “熟人”；stranger “陌生人”。
22．D 考查语境化选词。由下文中“I let them recognize the intelligence and beauty…”提示可知选soul意为“心灵”。句意为：如果你能高高的扬起头，人们就能看到你美好的心灵。
23．A 考查语境化选词。下文描述了自己在不同的事情中对妈妈这句话内涵的不同解读，也就是说这句话有着不同的意思，故选different。
24．B 考查动词短语辨析。bump into意为“撞上”。句意为：当“我”是个孩子的时候，妈妈的意思是：走路小心点，要不然就会跌倒或者是撞上看不见的东西。
25．D 考查动词辨析。从后面的“they liked me”结合第三段妈妈的话可以看出，抬起头来，可以让别人更好地了解自己、认识自己。所以选know，意为“了解，熟悉”。recognize “认出”；find “找到”；identify “认出，鉴定”。
26．C 考查动词辨析。这里强调的是：经过长时间或一些事情后才逐步“意识到”，所以用realize。
27．A 考查介词的用法。behind意思为“在……之后”。这里指让人们认识到“我”的双眼所折射的智慧和美丽。
28．B 考查语境化选词。由下文的“I was even elected class president”可以看出，“我”是成功的，故选successful。awful “很坏的，极讨厌的”；cheerful “兴高采烈的”；grateful “感激的，感谢的”。
29．B 考查副词辨析。however “可是，然而”；therefore “因此，所以”；besides “还有，此外”；and “并且”。很显然，“我取得了成功”和“仍然想看上去和别人一样”是转折关系，所以选B。
30．C 考查动词辨析。当事情很糟糕的时候，“我”就向妈妈哭诉，所以选C。
31．D 考查形容词辨析。母亲一直在鼓励“我”，所以在思想上需要帮助时，她的目光应该是慈爱的，所以选loving。terrible “可怕的”；awkward “令人尴尬的”；skeptical “怀疑的”。
32．A 考查语境化选词。这里指的是自己的丈夫，所以选partner意为“配偶”。colleague “同事”；leader “领袖，领导人”；master “主人”。
33．C 考查动词辨析。由语境可知，他说的话时是认真的，所以选C。mean it意思是“认真的”。
34．B 考查语境化选词。statement “声明，陈诉”；encouragement “鼓励”；treatment “治疗”；comment “评论”。由前面的“love and”，结合妈妈对“我”所说的那句话可以看出，是母亲的爱和鼓励点燃了“我”信心的火花，使“我”克服了心理障碍。故选B。
35．D 考查动词辨析。overcome “战胜，克服”。句意见上一题。
Ⅲ.文章讲述了作者在高中时一次难忘的愚人节经历。
36．A 推理判断题。从第一段的第一句话It's hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool's Day.可推出答案。
37．D 细节理解题。从文章第三段的One April Fool's Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers.和下一段的内容可看出答案。
38．B 细节理解题。从文章倒数第二段的After a few hours, they realized that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place！可知答案。
39．A 主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者在高中学习时期一次难忘的愚人节经历。文章的最后一段It's been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool's Day remains one of my favorite memories from those years.是对全文的总结。
