三、阅读理解
(2017江苏,B)
However wealthy we may be,we can never find enough hours in the day to do everything we want.Economics deals with this problem through the concept of opportunity cost,which simply refers to whether someone’s time or money could be better spent on something else.
Every hour of our time has a value.For every hour we work at one job we could quite easily be doing another,or be sleeping or watching a film.Each of these options has a different opportunity cost—namely,what they cost us in missed opportunities.
Say you intend to watch a football match but the tickets are expensive and it will take you a couple of hours to get to and from the stadium.Why not,you might reason,watch the game from home and use the leftover money and time to have dinner with friends?This—the alternative use of your cash and time—is the opportunity cost.
For economists,every decision is made by knowledge of what one must forgo—in terms of money and enjoyment—in order to take it up.By knowing precisely what you are receiving and what you are missing out on,you ought to be able to make better-informed,more reasonable decisions.Consider that most famous economic rule of all:there?s no such thing as a free lunch.Even if someone offers to take you out to lunch for free,the time you will spend in the restaurant still costs you something in terms of forgone opportunities.
Some people find the idea of opportunity cost extremely discouraging:imagine spending your entire life calculating whether your time would be better spent elsewhere doing something more profitable or enjoyable.Yet,in a sense it?s human nature to do precisely that—we assess the advantages and disadvantages of decisions all the time.
In the business world,a popular phrase is “value for money.”People want their cash to go as far as possible.However,another is fast obtaining an advantage:“value for time.”The biggest restriction on our resources is the number of hours we can devote to something,so we look to maximize the return we get on our investment of time.By reading this passage you are giving over a bit of your time which could be spent doing other activities,such as sleeping and eating.In return,however,this passage will help you to think like an economist,closely considering the opportunity cost of each of your decisions.
1.According to the passage,the concept of “opportunity cost” is applied to .
A.making more money
B.taking more opportunities
C.reducing missed opportunities
D.weighing the choice of opportunities
2.The “leftover...time” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to the time .
A.spared for watching the match at home
B.taken to have dinner with friends
C.spent on the way to and from the match
D.saved from not going to watch the match
3.What are forgone opportunities?
A.Opportunities you forget in decision-making.
B.Opportunities you give up for better ones.
C.Opportunities you miss accidentally.
D.Opportunities you make up for.

一、单句填空
1.Having counted 句意:数完钱后,罗宾意识到钱远远不够买一部新的苹果5s。考查非谓语动词作状语。“数钱”发生在“意识到”之前,故用动词-ing形式的完成式作状语。
2.in 句意:在我困难的时候,这个老太太帮了我很多。真希望有一天我可以做点儿什么来回报她。考查介词短语。in return 作为回报。
3.taking/having taken 句意:2017年高考我失败了,我多么后悔没听老师的建议。考查非谓语动词。regret doing通常表示“对曾经做过或发生过的事表示后悔或遗憾”,而有时为了强调“某事已完成”这一概念,也可以采用regret having done,这时与regret doing表达的意义是相同的。
4.out 句意:听到她妈妈被撞倒的坏消息,那个可怜的女孩突然大哭起来。考查动词短语。 burst out crying=burst into tears。故填out。
5.terms 句意:为了孩子他们总是与隔壁邻居和睦相处。考查固定短语。keep/be on good terms with 与……和睦相处。
6.on 句意:在寄宿学校里校医必须每周7天、每天24小时随叫随到。on call随叫随到、待命。
7.that 句意:听到儿子在事故中丧生的消息后,这位母亲放声大哭。考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知此处是同位语从句,说明the news的内容,从句意思非常完整,应该用that引导。
8.the;one 句意:在兄弟两个中比尔是小的那个,他是一个大多数大人们都非常喜欢的很安静的男孩。考查冠词和代词。第一个空表达:两者中较……的一个,应该用the+形容词比较级;第二个空是泛指:一个……的孩子,应该用one。
9.arising;handled 句意:如果处理不好的话,因为缺乏社会交流而出现的误解可能会导致严重的问题。考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知两个逗号之间是unless引导的条件状语从句。第一个空:misunderstandings与空格处的动作是主动关系,arise是一个不及物动词,应该用v.-ing形式;第二个空:unless后省略的主语misunderstandings和动词handle之间是被动关系,故用过去分词。
10.being torn 句意:1889年埃菲尔铁塔在世博会上竖立起来的时候,它不是很受人们的欢迎,还差一点被拆掉。考查非谓语动词作宾语。come close to中的to是介词,后跟v.-ing形式作宾语,且此处应该是被动关系,所以要用being done结构。
二、语法填空
[语篇解读] 本对话的内容是有关写作的。对话以两人的写作为话题展开。
1.getting 考查非谓语动词。表示“做什么事情有困难”用have trouble (in) doing sth.在此处in可以省略。所以用getting。
2.couldn’t 考查情态动词。前一句说“很乐于去写一个侦探故事”,but表明后面内容与前面内容是转折的关系,所以用couldn’t。
3.happened 考查时态。结合上文可知,男方已完成写作,故他写不下去是过去的事情,所以用一般过去时。
4.that 考查定语从句。先行词是anything,所以用关系代词that。误解分析:此题容易误填which,因为anything作先行词时定语从句的引导词不能用which,而只能用that。
5.sense 考查固定搭配。句意:她说,我首先应该要做的事情是把我脑子里想到的任何东西写出来,即使是它没有任何意义。make sense是固定搭配,意为“有意义;讲得通”。
6.stuck 考查非谓语动词。前面是动词got,可见后面应该填非谓语动词,而I与stick之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词。误解分析:因为不知道stick的过去式和过去分词是不规则变化的,所以容易误写成sticked。
7.in 考查副词。此处要表达的意思为“我应该可以按时交”,hand in意思是“上交”。
8.shopping 考查非谓语动词。go加动词的-ing形式表示去做某一户外活动。go shopping意为“购物”。
9.a 考查冠词。此处意思是:我的侦探故事与一次珠宝店的抢劫案有关。根据句意可知,在此处需要用冠词a来表示“一场”。
10.are arranged 考查被动语态。逻辑主语cases是“被安排”的,所以用被动语态。
三、阅读理解
[语篇解读] 本文属于说明文,题材为技巧指导。文章主要介绍了如何更好地支配自己的时间和金钱,以及如何在作决定时考虑花费的机会成本。
1.D 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段最后一句话可知,opportunity cost的意思就是对你金钱和时间的选择使用。由此可推断opportunity cost和“对机会选择的权衡”有关。故选D项。
2.C 推理判断题。上文提到你打算去体育场观看一场足球比赛,但门票太昂贵,而且从家到体育场的往返时间要花费几个小时。然后提到“为什么不在家里看比赛,而把剩余的时间和金钱用来和朋友共进晚餐呢?”由此可推断“leftover...time”指的就是从家到体育场的往返时间。故选C项。
3.B 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可知,即使有人带你出去享用免费的午餐,而从forgone opportunities的角度来看你却要付出花费时间的代价。再结合第二句“通过准确了解你会得到什么和你会错失什么获利的机会,你应该能够作出更明智的选择”可推断forgone opportunities指的就是那些为了获得更好的机会而放弃的机会。
四、短文改错
1.第一段第二句中的informations改为information 考查名词。information“信息”,为不可数名词。
2.第一段第三句中的recommending改为recommend 考查非谓语动词。would like to后面接动词原形。
3.第二段第一句中的so改为such 考查固定搭配。such+a+adj.+名词(可数名词单数),为固定搭配,相当于“so+adj.+a+名词(可数名词单数)”。
4.第二段第二句中的in改为on 考查介词。January 20为一个具体的日期,前面用介词on。
5.第二段第三句中的intending改为intended 考查形容词。be intended for为固定短语,意思是“为……设计的”。
6.第二段第四句中的Beside改为Besides 考查副词。besides“此外”;beside为介词“在……旁边”。
7.第二段第四句中的are改为is 考查主谓一致。which指代的是前面的tuition这个不可数名词,所以谓语动词用单数形式。
8.第二段第五句中的enjoy后加it 考查代词。enjoy为及物动词,后应加宾语,it指代前面的“汉语训练课”。
9.第三段第一句中的had改为have 考查时态。在条件状语从句中用一般现在时代替一般将来时,所以用have。
10.第三段第一句中的to去掉 考查非谓语动词。let后接不带to的不定式。
