　　【语篇导读】　本文是一篇记叙文，记述了我和我兄弟去Miami(迈阿密)旅游，当到达目的地后，来到六个月前订的宾馆，却意外被告知订的房间是下个星期的，且该宾馆房间已订满。正当不知如何办时，经理出来了，将他们安排在留出来的VIP房间，且不另外收他们的钱，真是喜出望外的事。

　　1．it　[在said后的宾语从句中缺主语，应填代词；指代前句中的Miami这个地方，应用it。]

　　2．earlier　[在句中作状语，依然用副词；不变词性，因为是较早的做的事，所以用比较级。]

　　3．were told　[由句意可知，是“我们被告知”，由上下文的时态可知，用一般过去时的被动语态。]

　　4．but　[根据上下句意，意为“不是为那个星期订的，而是为后一个星期所订的”，为not...but...结构。]

　　5．why　[意为“我不知道为什么会发生这样的事”，故用why引导宾语从句。]

　　6．for　[charge...for...是习惯搭配。]

　　7．surprisingly　[因本句已有作表语的形容词helpful，所以应当用副词来修饰形容词helpful，指“令人惊讶地，意外地”，故填surprisingly。]

　　8．the　[特指“在顶楼”。]

　　9．where　[先行词是地点the beach，且在定语从句中作状语，故填where (＝on which ＝and on the beach ＝and there)。]

　　10．sunburnt/sunburned　[在表示“变化”的got后作表语，要用形容词；sunburn是名词，其形容词形式是burnt或burned。]

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　A

　　Your name made you do it, though unconsciously, suggests new research that finds your name can negatively make you achieve less.

　　Psychologists at Yale and the University of California, San Diego studying the unconscious influence of names say a preference for our own names and initials—the ?nameletter effect?—can have some negative consequences.

　　Students whose names begin with C or D get lower grades than those whose names begin with A or B; major league baseball players whose first or last names began with K are significantly more likely to strike out.

　　Assistant professors Leif Nelson of UCSD and Joseph Simmons of Yale have conducted five studies over five years using information from thousands of individuals.

　　?The conscious process is that baseball players want to get a hit and students want to get A's，” Nelson says. “So if you get a change in performance in agreement with the nameletter effect, it clearly shows there must be some unconscious desire operating in the other direction.”

　　The researchers' work supports a series of studies published since 2002 that have found the “nameletter effect” causes people to make life choices based on names that resemble (类似) their own. Those studies by Brett Pelham, an associate professor at SUNY University, have found that people are disproportionately (不定比例地) likely to live in states or cities resembling their names, have careers that resemble their names and even marry those whose surnames begin with the same letter as their own.

　　The twist, says, is that he has believed the nameletter effect would apply only to positive outcomes. Nelson and Simmons, he says, are “showing it applies more so to negative things than positive things.”

　　The researchers say the effect is definitely more of a coincidence (巧合) than a fact. “I know plenty of Chrises and Davids who have done very well in school，” Pelham says.

　　文章大意：本文为一篇议论文。加州和耶鲁大学的心理学家通过研究发现，名字与成功之间存在着“姓名－字母效应”，而对此结果，有些研究人员则表示否定，认为这不过是巧合而已。

　　1．The new research is mainly about the relationship between one's ________.

　　A．name and unconsciousness

　　B．name and characteristics

　　C．name and success

　　D．sports and school achievements

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“... new research that finds your name can negatively make you achieve less.”可知，这项研究发现，尽管是无意识的，但你的名字会对你的成功有一些消极影响。因此可推断出，这项研究主要是研究姓名与成功之间的关系。故答案选C。

　　2．Who may serve as an example to show the “nameletter effect”？

　　A．Miss Smith working as a lawyer.

　　B．Mr. Watt living in Washington.

　　C．Charles Brown married to Sue Rogers.

　　D．Paula Snow fond of the color white.

　　答案：B　推理判断题。根据第五段第一句中的“... ‘nameletter effect’ causes people to make life choices based on names that resemble (类似) their own”可知，“姓名－字母效应”使得人们选择与自己姓名字母相似的城市去生活。因此B项“Mr. Watt living Washington”是个很好的例子，因为他的名字的开头字母与城市的开头字母是“W”。故答案选B。

　　3．The last paragraph mainly tells us that the “nameletter effect” ________.

　　A．isn't believed in by many people

　　B．doesn't work with certain names

　　C．does not really exist

　　D．is often too little to show

　　答案：D　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容可知，Pelham认为这项研究的结果纯属巧合，据他所知，很多以C或D为开头字母姓名的人成绩就很好。因此，他认为这种“姓名－字母效应”的研究结果没什么作用。故答案选D。

　　B

　　(2016·济南市调研考试)Raised by a single mother in Hartford, Fred Wright

　　struggled with behavioral problems and was forced to move from one school to another. He even reached a point where he felt like he had nothing to live for.

　　“I was walking around with a lot on my shoulders，” he said.“I couldn't handle it. I didn't care about life anymore.” But all that started to change when Wright met Patricia Kelly.

　　“I was seven when I met Mrs Kelly.I wasn't used to strictness. I wasn't used to hearing the word ‘no’，”said Wright, now 17.

　　Kelly, a former soldier and an equestrian (骑手), took Wright under her wing and helped him find hope in an unlikely place — on a horse.

　　“Wright was like a round peg that everybody kept trying to squeeze into a square hole，” Kelly said.“He was hurting. He needed a place where he could express himself. The riding field became that place for him.”

　　For the last 30 years, Kelly has helped children stay on the right track through her non­profit, Ebony Horsewomen. The program offers horseback riding lessons and teaches animal science to more than 300 young

　　people a year. By exposing those children to horsemanship, Kelly aims to give them an alternative to the streets and an opportunity to turn their lives around.

　　“We use horses as a hook to create pride, esteem and healing，” said Kelly, 66.“They learn that they have ability. They just have to unlock it.”

　　“When you teach a child to ride a horse, they learn they are the center of their environment，” said Kelly.“Once they make that connection, they can change what happens in school, at home and in the community.”

　　1.Why did Fred Wright have to move from one school to another?

　　A.Because his mother couldn't afford the fees.

　　B.Because his parents got divorced.

　　C.Because he behaved badly at school.

　　D.Because he didn't set a life goal.

　　2. How did Patricia Kelly help Fred Wright?

　　A.She provided him with a home.

　　B.She encouraged him to learn science.

　　C.She exposed him to the riding field.

　　D.She found him a better school.

　　3.What do we know about the program Ebony Horsewomen?

　　A.It is intended to make money.

　　B.It was founded by Patricia Kelly.

　　C.It aims to protect the environment.

　　D.It serves as a shelter for homeless kids.

　　4.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?

　　A.Horse riding is helpful to the growth of kids.

　　B.Patricia Kelly is a very successful woman.

　　C.Horses are closely related to the environment.

　　D.It is hard for a kid to learn to ride a horse.

　　1．解析：选C　细节理解题根据第一段第一句中的“Fred Wright struggled with behavioral problems and was forced to move from one school to another”可知Fred Wright 因在学校表现不好才被迫从一所学校转到另一所学校故选C解析：选C　细节理解题根据第四段以及第五段最后一句“The riding field became that place for him.”可知Kelly教 Wright 骑马让 Wright 在骑马的过程中重获对生活的希望故选C解析：选B　推理判断题根据第六段第一句“For the last 30 years, Kelly ...through her non­profit, Ebony Horsewomen.”可知在过去的30年里Kelly 已经通过她创办的非营利组织Ebony Horsewomen 帮助孩子们走上了正确的轨道。故选B。

　　．解析：选A　推理判断题。根据文章最后两段内容可知，Kelly建立的 Ebony Horsewomen 组织把马作为创造骄傲自尊的方法和治疗的手段让孩子们意识到他们有能力只是需要被发掘出来由此可推知骑马对孩子们的成长有帮助故选AC

　　高考题型提能练(九).1～5　DGAFC.参考范文：Handwriting is one of the most important skills in students' daily study. Nowadays, however, teachers, students and their parents are paying less and less attention to handwriting.

　　There are many reasons explaining the phenomenon, the main one of which is the growing popularity of computers. Many students may think that they can just use a computer, so there is no need to waste time improving it. What's more, the students are so occupied with their lessons and homework every day that they have no adequate time to practice it.

　　In my opinion, just as the saying goes, “Writing style shows the man.” Beautiful and neat handwriting is beneficial, especially for middle school students. Therefore, more emphasis should be placed on this aspect in future.
