　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　(2017·福建质量检测)Anyone who experienced wet weather this summer will not be surprised to learn that this was the fourth year running that the UK suffered from a wet summer，which has never happened before in modern rainfall records dating back to 1914.

　　This summer was only slightly wetter than usual，though — the UK had 248.5 mm summer rainfall, 10 percent above average, according to Met Office figures.

　　The rainfall average over the whole country showed an interesting weather picture, though.The rain tended to come down in big showers, setting off flash floods.As a result, East Anglia in eastern UK had its third wettest August with more than double the normal rainfall，and the southeast had one of its dullest Augusts，with only two thirds its usual sunshine.And yet both these areas had been dry and sunny for the previous five months and seemed to be heading for long­lasting drought (干旱)．

　　Western and northwestern areas had the complete opposite, though — extremely wet in July, followed by a dry August.Remarkably, the northwest had suffered from such long­lasting drought that it led to bans on using hosepipes (橡皮软管)．

　　Although some weather companies predicted an extremely hot barbecue summer, it was only 0.6℃ above average across the UK.Even so, for the first half of this summer Glastonbury enjoyed a mud­free festival and Wimbledon remained hot and dry.It may not have broken any temperature records，but there were plenty of barbecues this summer.

　　B．The wettest August of the third year running.

　　C．The extremely hot weather with too much rainfall.

　　Ⅲ.选做题

　　任务型读写

　　Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?

　　In this fast­paced world, many values are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally prioritize caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self­absorbed and self­concerned.

　　Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.

　　In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then. But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts.

　　Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.

　　In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self­centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.

　　Are Modern People Becoming More Selfish？

　　Main comparisons Contexts

　　(1)________

　　are changing. In the past people put caring, sharing

　　and generosity in the first (2)________．

　　Nowadays, people seem to be more (3)________ about themselves.

　　(4)________

　　People may strive to achieve their own (5)________ at the price of their coworkers.

　　短文改错

　　　(2017·太原五中第一学期月考)Some students think a difficult exam is just like a challenge and the more difficult it is, the more better it will be. They say a difficult exam can help students to find out what they are weak in their studies and improve their learning methods. Though, others were against a difficult exam. In their opinions, if it is very difficult, they may become discourage and feel terrible about their studies. I prefer an exam neither too difficult or too easy. A very easy exam is not good for teachers to learn how we are getting with our studies, and a too difficult exam will make us lose our heart.

　　答案：第一句：and 后加上that; 去掉better 前面的more　第二句：what→where　第三句：Though→However;were→are　第四句：opinions→opinion; discourage→discouraged　第五句：or→nor　第六句：在with前加on/along; 去掉heart 前的our
