专题二十四 开放类与议论文
针对高考训练
一、单项填空
1.(2017河南濮阳高三模拟)When my father was in high school,he developed interest in art and later became a serious student of art there.
A.an;不填 B.an;the
C.the;不填 D.the;an
答案:A
解析:考查冠词用法。句意:当我父亲念高中时,他培养了对于艺术的兴趣,后来在那儿成为一位严肃认真的学艺术的学生。在interest前加an,使其具体化。art是抽象名词,是不可数名词,所以前面没有冠词。
2.(2017山东枣庄高三期中模拟)A person is likely to make and keep more friends.
A.considerate B.violent
C.sensitive D.curious
答案:A
解析:考查形容词辨析。句意:一个体贴的人可能会交到并维持更多的朋友。considerate“体贴的”;violent“暴力的”;sensitive“敏感的”;curious“好奇的”。
3.(2017江苏镇江高三期中)The couple their old house and sold it for a vast profit.
A.did for B.did in
C.did with D.did up

解析:考查动词短语辨析。句意:这对夫妇修理了旧房子,卖了高价。do up“整修,打扮”,此外do up还可以指“扣”。do for“适合”;do in“欺骗;搞垮”;do with“处理”,故选D项。
4.— Did you listen to the report last Friday?
— Yes,it was about the shortage of migrant workers.That was the first time that I about the subject.
A.heard B.was hearing
C.would hear D.had heard
答案:D
解析:the first time后面的定语从句要用完成时,由于主句是一般过去时was,所以此处要用过去完成时,表示过去的过去。
5.—I won’t be in for dinner tonight.
—Well, you’d told me earlier.
A I hope B.I wish
C.I forgot D.I remember
答案:B
解析:此处的意思是“我真希望你早点告诉我”。宾语从句是一个与事实相反的主观愿望,所以主句要用I wish,因为只有wish才能引起虚拟语气。

— everything goes well,you should get them in 14 workdays.
A.Although B.As far as

答案:D
解析:考查连词的用法。句意:“什么时候签证可以下来,先生?”“只要一切顺利,14个工作日你就可以拿到了。”although“虽然”;as far as“据……,就……”;unless“除非,如果不”;as long as“只要”。
7.With your brother’s help,I’ve made great progress in English and I really want to do something for him .
A.in turn B.by turns
C.in return D.in answer
答案:C
解析:in turn “依次”;by turns “轮流”;in return “作为回报”;in answer “回答”。根据前面的help判断,下文应为“我真的想做些事情来回报他”。
8.— I came all the way to inform you of the time and place of the meeting.

C.cost D.removed

A.bought;one B.to buy;that
C.bought;the one D.to buy;what
答案:A
解析:句意:为了你的健康,我倒是宁愿你在山区买一套公寓,而不是在闹市区买一套,因为交通比以前更方便了。would rather sb. 后面跟动词的过去时表示现在或将来的愿望,第二个空用泛指替代词one代指a flat。
10.— There aren’t any toys in our suitcase.Where have you put them?
— Oh,no.That old lady sitting next to us have taken ours by mistake.
A.must B.could
C.should D.would
答案:A
解析:此处是对已发生的情况进行猜测,而且语气很有把握,故用must have taken,表示“那个坐在我们旁边的老太太一定拿错了我们的玩具了”。
二、阅读理解
For anyone who is determined to be a fashion(时尚) designer,it is not enough to have succeeded in college.The real test is whether they can survive,and become established during their early 20s,making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as talent and creativity.
Fashion is a hard business.There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season’s collections.It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines.It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy.“We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is,” says Lydia Kemeny,the Head of Fashion at St.Martin’s School of Art in London.“And we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary.”
This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses.That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won’t be slow in introducing students to commercial realities.“We don’t walk our feet on the blossoming(绽放的) flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price,producing ability,marketing and so on.”
Almost all fashion design is done to a brief.It is not a form of self-expression as such,although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity.Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the characteristic style of their employer.Even those students who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to adapt to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of market.They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.

My View on Study Tour
参考范文:
My View on Study Tour
In recent years,many primary and middle schools have been organizing study tours for students so that they can have a better understanding of life and society.Some students are crazy about such tours while others show their great concerns.
Personally,I think study tours play a critical role in developing students’ study interests.Most of the time,students acquire knowledge and skills from textbooks.By walking out of the campus,they can learn through their own experiences.They can understand better about what they have learned from textbooks.Therefore their motivation and enthusiasm for study is greatly inspired.Besides,study tours contribute a lot to shaping students’ personalities.They become more confident in getting along with others and living in harmony with nature.
Of course,we must put safety in the first place in the course of study tours,which is also the major concern of our parents and schools.
