【主旨大意】作者初为人师时,在课堂上下意识表扬了一名学生,致使那位原来有点“自闭”的学生变得阳光、自信。作者从中领悟到善待学生的重要性。
1.【答案】D
【解析】根据设空处后“I gave an honest account of the student's work(我对学生的表现给予中肯的评价)”可知,“我”是一名老师。故选D项。
2.【答案】C
【解析】设空处前的“He couldn't read his own handwriting.(他认不出自己写的字)”和设空处后的“he was a bright student(他是一个聪明的学生)”表明,前后文构成转折关系。故选B项。
3.【答案】B
【解析】根据第一段第三句“In Simon's case, the grades were awfully low.(西蒙的学习成绩分数极其低)”及第六句“He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension.(他用接近成人的理解力来讨论成人的话题)”可知,他的成绩不能体现他的能力(ability)。故选B项。
4.【答案】C
【解析】根据上文作者描写自己的紧张和下文的“surprising me beyond speech”可知,作者对西蒙的妈妈在自己的双颊亲吻完全没有(心理)准备。desperate意为“绝望的;非常需要的”;responsible意为“有责任的;负责的”;unprepared意为“无准备的”;unsuitable意为“不合适的”。故选C项。
5.【答案】A
【解析】根据下文西蒙的变化可知,此处句意为:因为我,西蒙已变成一个与从前完全不同的人。because of意为“因为”;in spite of意为“尽管”;apart from意为“除……外”;as for意为“至于”。故选A项。
6.【答案】A
【解析】由语境可知,因为是“我”使他产生了巨大的变化,所以他很喜爱“我”。envy意为“嫉妒”;please意为“(使)高兴”;criticize意为“批评”,均不符合句意。故选A项loved。
7.【答案】C
【解析】由语境可知,西蒙的妈妈向“我”讲述的是最近发生在孩子身上的事。gradually意为“逐渐地”;constantly意为“不断地”;recently意为“最近”,常与完成时态连用;obviously意为“明显地”。故选C项。
8.【答案】A
【解析】句意为:她想告诉我,她有多么感谢我培养了她儿子的自尊心。selfrespect意为“自尊”;selfdoubt意为“自我怀疑”;selfpity意为“自我同情”;selfdefense意为“自我防卫”。只有A项符合语境。
9.【答案】C
【解析】句意为:我吃惊地坐了大约半个小时,一直在想刚才发生了什么。imagine意为“想象”;observe意为“观察”;wonder意为“纳闷;不知道”;regret意为“后悔”。由前文的stunned和后句的问题可知应选C项。
10.【答案】B
【解析】句意为:我是如何使这孩子发生如此大的变化,而甚至连我自己都不知道怎么做到的? also意为“也”;even意为“甚至”;always意为“总是”;still意为“仍然”。故选B项。
11.【答案】B
【解析】前一句提到“我”不知道自己是怎样使西蒙改变的,而下文给出了西蒙改变的原因,可推知此处指“我”终于记起了……。故选B项。
12.【答案】D
【解析】句意为:……几个月前,当一些学生当着全班同学的面作报告时……。根据下文中作者让珍妮提高声音可知,此处应为give reports,意为“作报告”,为固定搭配。故选D项。
13.【答案】A
【解析】由下文to encourage her to raise her voice可推知,珍妮说话声音小。quietly意为“轻声地;安静地”;repeatedly意为“重复地”;quickly意为“快速地”;firmly意为“坚定地”。故选A项。
14.【答案】C
【解析】lucky意为“幸运的”;lonely意为“孤独的”;only意为“唯一的”;likely意为“可能的”。作者鼓励珍妮:西蒙是这方面的专家,因此他是唯一一个你需要说服的人……。故选C项。
15.【答案】D
【解析】由“…he can't hear you…”及后文中的“the last kid in the last row”和“the last seat”可知,西蒙当时坐在教室后面。in the back of… 是固定搭配,意为“在……后部”。故选D项。
16.【答案】B
【解析】老师的话使西蒙发生了巨大变化,这些变化都是好的、积极的。睡觉(slept)、喊叫(shouted)、争吵(quarreled)均不符合语境,故选B项smiled。
17.【答案】D
【解析】根据语境可知,作者对西蒙的表扬乃无意而为,故句意为:这一切都因为他碰巧是坐在最后一排的最后一个学生。intend to意为“计划,打算”;pretend to意为“假装”;refuse to意为“拒绝”;happen to意为“碰巧”。故选D项。
18.【答案】B
【解析】本句中的the boy指的是西蒙。老师的一句话使他变得更自尊、开朗,所以坐在最后座的他是最需要被表扬的孩子。change意为“改变”;praise意为“表扬”;thank意为“感谢”;visit意为“拜访”。故选B项。
19.【答案】C
【解析】从下文中“I'm thankful”及文章最后一句可推知,这个经验对“我”来说是很有价值的。difficult意为“困难的”;painful意为“痛苦的”;valuable意为“有价值的”;enjoyable意为“愉快的”。故选C项。
20.【答案】A
【解析】根据第一段第二句“I was a new…(我是一名新老师)”可知,“我”很感激这个宝贵的经验到来得很早。early意为“在初期;提早”;slowly意为“缓慢地”;frequently意为“频繁地”;occasionally意为“偶尔”。故选A项。

In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist.Rivera's strong influences on Kahlo's style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.

(2016沈阳东北育才学校高三上学期二模, A)
I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film.We set off early for a distant water hole.A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply.He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water.He wasn't going to hurry now.He'd drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again or so we thought.What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away.Then he suddenly fell down.Within minutes he was dead.
We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately.He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant's body, and let out over 100 liters of pus (脓)-the result of the elephant's meeting with a poacher(偷猎者) months before.
Today's poacher shoots from a blind.He fires an arrow, covered with poison, into the body of an elephant.If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies.Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once-it doesn't mean the poison won't finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death.
Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time.When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground.I took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit-but I couldn't escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.
()5.While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ________.
A.knew the elephant was injured
B.found the elephant acted violently
C.tried their best to save the elephant
D.thought the elephant was in good condition
()6.Further examination showed that the dead elephant________.
A.had suffered an hour or two
B.was killed by a poisonous needle
C.had suffered a lot
D.had had a good fight with a poacher
()7.How does the author feel when thinking about the elephant's death?
A.Empty. B.Comfortable.
C.Upset. D.Relieved.
()8.Why did the author write the text?
A.To introduce African elephant.
B.To show the cruelty of poaching.
C.To describe his filming experience.
D.To ask readers to protect wild animals.
【主旨大意】本文主要讲述作者在肯尼亚察沃国家公园录制节目时的经历。作者在水源处看见一头大象安静在喝水,可是这头大象忽然倒下,死了。作者和医生仔细查看,原来大象几个月前被偷猎者打了毒箭,伤口化脓。作者目睹了多次动物的死去,心里一直不能平静。
5.【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段,作者看见这头大象安静地喝水,以为它走了很远的路,需要休息。所以选D。
6.【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段最后的“拔掉毒剑,放出100多毫升脓水”可知,“这头大象在过去的几个月里受了很多罪”。
7.【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第二句的“每次想到这头大象的死,萦绕在心头的就是它重重倒地后的沉寂”和最后一句的“这个世界变得更可怜、更空虚”可知答案。
8.【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后作者的感受可知,他是在呼吁我们减少杀戮、保护野生动物。
Ⅲ.短文改错
(2015河南周口中英文学校高三月考)
Last Sunday I saw a worst storm in years.It came sudden and went on for over three hours.After lunch, I went into my room to have a rest.The air was hot, but all was quiet. Then a strong wind started to blow into my room.Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out the open window.As I ran out to catch it, big drop of rain began to fall.When I come back into the house, it was raining more harder and harder.Then I heard a loud crashing sound from the back of the house.When I ran out to find out that had happened, a big tree had fallen down and broke the top of the backroom.
【答案】
Last Sunday I saw
worst storm in years. It came
and went
on for over three hours. After lunch, I went into my room to have a rest.The air was hot,
all was quiet. Then a strong wind started to blow into my room. Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out the open window. As I ran out to catch , big
of rain began to fall. When I
back into the house, it was raining
harder and harder. Then I heard a loud crashing sound from the back of the house. When I ran out to find out
had happened, a big tree had fallen down and
the top of the backroom.
【解析】
第一处:a 改为the 后面有最高级worst storm,故加上the。
第二处:sudden改为suddenly 修饰前面的动词came。
第三处:but改为and 这里表示并列关系,不是转折。
第四处:out后加of out of… 意为“……的外面”。
第五处:it改为them 这里的用them指代前面出现的Pieces of paper。
第六处:drop改为drops drops of rain 意为“雨点”。
第七处:come改为came 由后面的 it was raining可知这里用一般过去时。
第八处:more改为much或去掉 more不能再修饰比较级;it was raining harder and harder意为“雨下得越来越大”。
第九处:that改为what 用what引导宾语从句,作find out的宾语。
第十处:broke改为broken 由前面的a big tree had fallen down及 and 可知,这里是过去完成时态,共用had,但是要用过去分词。
