Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2017·大连市高三适应性考试)
Books That Shaped America
Huckleberry Finn
Novelist Ernest Hemingway famously said, “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called ‘Huckleberry Finn.’ ... All American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.” During their trip down the Mississippi on a raft, Twain describes in a satirical (嘲讽的) and humorous way Huck and Jim's encounters with hypocrisy, racism, violence and other evils of American society. His use in serious literature of a lively, simple American language full of dialect and informal spoken expressions paved the way for many later writers, including Hemingway and William Faulkner.
Gone with the Wind
The most popular romance novel of all time was the basis for the most popular movie of all time (in today's dollars). Margaret Mitchell's book, Gone with the Wind, set in the South during the Civil War, won both the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award, and it remains popular, despite charges that its author had a blind eye regarding the horrors of slavery.
Leaves of Grass
The publication of the first slim edition of Walt Whitman's “Leaves of Grass” in 1855 was the first appearance of a masterpiece that shifted the course of American literary history. Refreshing and bold in both theme and style, the book experienced many revisions during Whitman's lifetime. Over almost 40 years Whitman produced multiple editions of “Leaves of Grass”， shaping the book into an evertransforming kaleidoscope (千变万化) of poems. By his death in 1892, “Leaves” was a thick summary that represented Whitman's view of America over nearly the entire last half of the 19th century. Among the collection's bestknown poems are “I Sing the Body Electric”， “Song of Myself”， and “O Captain! My Captain！” in praise of Abraham Lincoln.
The American Woman's Home
This classic domestic guide, The American Woman's Home, by sisters Catharine E. Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe is dedicated to “the women of America, in whose hands rest the real fates of the Republic.” It includes chapters on healthful cookery, home decoration, exercise, cleanliness, good air ventilation (通风方法) and heat, etiquette, sewing, gardening and care of children, the sick, the aged and domestic animals. Intended to elevate the “woman's sphere” of household management to a respectable profession based on scientific principles, it became the standard domestic handbook.
1.Which of the following best describes Ernest Hemingway's feelings for Mark Twain's book?
A．Wonderful.
B．Disappointing.
C．Painful.
D．Confusing.
2．What can we learn from Walt Whitman's poems?
A．He used many informal oral English in “Leaves of Grass”．
B．Many poems were added to “Leaves of Grass” after 1855.
C．He showed little respect for Abraham Lincoln in his poems.
D．The poems reflected Walt Whitman's bad opinions of America.
3．In which book can one learn how to live a healthy life?
A．Huckleberry Finn.
B．Gone with the Wind.
C．Leaves of Grass.
D．The American Woman's Home.
4．What does the underlined word “dedicated” probably mean?
A．devoted
B．addicted
C．opposed
D．sentenced

答
案
Ⅰ.1.选A 根据答句中的“It won't kill you.”可知go ahead“继续吧”符合语境。hold on, please“请不要挂断；请等一下”；you're welcome“不客气”；that'll do“那样就行了”。
2．选A 句意：很让我们吃惊的是，目击者对这起交通事故的描述在几个方面和官方的版本不同。account“描述”，符合句意。
3．选D 句意：很多人认为饥饿只是发展中国家的问题。相反，这是全世界的问题。for one thing“首先；其一(用来列举理由)”；in addition“另外；除此之外”；as well“还”；on the contrary“正相反”。根据句意可知应选D。
4．选B 根据句意“环境破坏是由热带雨林的破坏造成的”，因此选择B。bring about“引起；导致；造成”。bring up“养育；教养”；bring down“降低；减少”；bring out“使……明显；显示出”。
5．选A at no time意为“决不”，位于句首时构成部分倒装。smoking为从句主语，和permit之间存在被动关系，故用被动语态。
6．选C 句意：西红柿汁在我夹克前面留下了斑点。track“行踪；小径；轨道”；trace“踪迹；足迹；痕迹”；spot“斑点；污点；地点”；point“点；尖”。
7．选C 句意：我们刚走了一半这时发动机就出故障了，我们别无选择只能等着救援到来。when“就在这时；突然……”。before“在……之前”；since“自从；既然”；until“直到”。
8．选A 句意表示“我再怎么感谢你也不过分”。can't ... too ...“再……也不过分”。
9．选B 句意：至于水污染，当地政府对此已采取了措施。as for“至于”，符合句意。
10．选D many直接修饰可数名词复数；a great many为固定短语，意为“很多”，只修饰可数名词；number用来表示“大量；很多”时，应为a number of，且通常修饰可数名词。a large amount of用来修饰不可数名词。
11．选D 句意：面对挑战，你应该相信你的勇气是发挥很大作用的因素。连接词在这里引导一个表语从句，并在从句中作主语，所以用what。
12．选B 句意：到场的游客不相信自己的眼睛，瞪着眼睛看飞机在空中做各种高难度和危险的动作。stare at“盯着；瞪着；看”，符合句意。glare at“怒目而视”；glance at“瞟了一眼”；catch sight of“看见”。
13．选B 句意：他的奶奶喜欢挑当场和她说话的人的毛病。此处find fault with sb.意为“挑某人毛病；批评某人”；on the spot意为“当场；在场”。
14．选A 句意：我发现简坐在桌旁认真地做作业。seat为及物动词，用法为be seated或seat oneself，所以Jane后可接seated或sitting作宾补；doing her homework carefully是现在分词短语作伴随状语。
15．选A 句意：请明天为经理安排一次采访，或者是他方便的时间。本句的后半句成分完整，所以应该使用连接副词，结合句意可知，答案选A。
.1.选A 细节理解题。根据表格第一栏中海明威所说的话“All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain ... There has been nothing as good since.”可知，海明威认为马克·吐温的《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》是一部空前绝后的好作品，即他对马克·吐温作品的评价非常高。故答案选A。
2．选B 推理判断题。根据表格第三栏内容可知，沃尔特·惠特曼在1855年出版了《草叶集》的第一版，此后的40多年，该书不断被修订，内容不断增加，直至1892年沃尔特·惠特曼去世。由此可知，沃尔特·惠特曼的许多诗是在1855年之后被补充到《草叶集》当中的。故答案选B。
3．选D 细节理解题。根据表格最后一栏内容可知，The American Woman's Home是关于家务指导方面的书籍，内容涉及健康的烹饪方法、家庭装饰、锻炼、通风方法、照顾病人等。由此可知，D项符合题意。
4．选A 词义猜测题。根据表格最后一栏画线词所在句子中的“the women of America, in whose ...”可知，此处指的是书的读者，由此可猜测，该书是献给美国女士的，画线词的意思与devoted的词义最接近。故答案选A。
Ⅲ.参考范文：
I dream to be a popular teacher in the future because I hope I can bring knowledge and happiness to children.
With time passing by, my wonderful middle school life is coming to an end. Just when I entered Sunshine School, I was a childish boy who liked playing computer games. I still remembered my first midterm exam. I failed many subjects. I even thought about giving up. It was Ms. Zhang who encouraged me to face the difficulties bravely. With the help of my teacher, I redoubled my efforts. Nowadays, I came across difficulties and always came out on top in the school subjects. Thanks to Ms. Zhang, I have gained a lot both in my study and in my life. I hope I can be as excellent as my teacher.
All in all, I will learn harder to get more knowledge so as to lay a good foundation for my future. I will make full use of my every second and make my dream come true. I believe I can succeed!
