　　题型二完形填空

　　专题十三　记叙文

　　针对高考训练

　　一、单项填空

　　1.(2017河南南阳高三五校联谊)— Have you known each other for long?

　　—Not really.　 we started to work in this school. 

　　A.Just afterB.Just when

　　C.Ever since D.Just before

　　答案:C

　　解析:考查连词的用法。句意:“你们认识彼此很长时间了吗?”“不是,(我们认识)是自从在这个学校学习以来。”just after“就在……后面”;just when“就在……时候”;ever since“自从”;just before“就在……前面”,这句话的主句We have known each other被省略了,所以从句用ever since(和现在完成时连用),选C项。

　　2.(2017河南开封十所名校高中毕业班阶段性测试)It’s said that the heaviest man in this city,　 1,345 pounds,has been sent to hospital to receive medical treatment. 

　　A.weighing B.to weigh

　　C.weighed D.weigh

　　答案:A

　　解析:考查现在分词作定语。句意:据说这个城市重达1,345 磅的最重的人已经被送到医院做医学检查。这句话中的has been sent是谓语动词,可知前面需要填的是定语,weigh表示“重达”的时候,是不及物动词,作定语应该用v.-ing,选A项。

　　3.After a thorough search,the rescue team finally brought the mountain climbers back,　. 

　　A.safely and soundly B.safe and sound

　　C.safely and sound D.safe and soundly

　　答案:B

　　解析:考查形容词作状语。safe and sound是对the mountain climbers的情况进行说明。句意:经过彻底的搜查以后,救援队终于把登山队员安然无恙地带回来了。

　　4.—It looks heavy.Can I give you a hand?

　　—　. 

　　A.No,thanks B.Yes,my pleasure

　　C.No,never mind D.Yes,I do

　　答案:A

　　解析:此题考查提供帮助的情景。句意:“这看起来很重,需要我帮忙吗?”“不了,谢谢。”问句提供帮助,接受帮助时,常说Thanks,it’s very kind of you.等等。拒绝帮助时,常说No,thanks。

　　5.Jackie Cooper,　 former child movie star who won 　 Best Actor Oscar Nomination at the age of 9 for “Skippy”,died at the age of 88. 

　　A./;the B.the;the

　　C.a;the D.the;a

　　答案:D

　　解析:句意:杰基·库伯,以前是一个童星,九岁时因为他的《淘哥儿》而获得奥斯卡最佳男演员提名,在88岁时去世。题干中的child movie star被定语从句who won...限制,所以要用定冠词进行特指。Best Actor Oscar Nomination指“奥斯卡最佳男演员提名”,这种提名很多,他只是其中一位,故用不定冠词。

　　6.(2017吉林省实验中学高三模拟考试)Mum likes this old house in downtown better than the huge one in the country,but it costs almost 　. 

　　A.twice as much B.twice as many

　　C.twice so much D.twice so many

　　答案:A

　　解析:考查倍数表达。句意:妈妈喜欢市中心的老房子胜于乡村的大房子,但是它的价格几乎是乡村的大房子的两倍。这里使用的是倍数表达“倍数+as+adj.+as”,如果比较的内容很明显,就可以省略第二个as,表示价格用much,选A项。

　　7.There’s no bus now,and we can’t get home　 by taxi. 

　　A.other thanB.rather than

　　C.more than D.less than

　　答案:A

　　解析:句意:现在没有公共汽车了,我们除了乘出租车外,不能回家了。other than“除……之外”;rather than“而不是”;more than “超过;不仅仅”;less than“少于;不如……”。

　　8.We should know that we can only reach the top if we are ready to 　 and learn from failure. 

　　A.deal with B.stick to

　　C.carry on D.go with

　　答案:A

　　解析:句意:我们应该知道,如果我们愿意应对失败并且从失败中吸取教训的话,我们会达到我们生活中的顶峰的。deal with“处理;应对”;stick to“坚持”;carry on“继续进行”;go with“伴随;与……一致”。

　　9.—Are you going to find a job back in your hometown?

　　—Well,I haven’t decided yet.I 　 find some other choices. 

　　A.would B.must

　　C.should D.might

　　答案:D

　　解析:既然“我”还没有做出决定,只能是“我可能找到其他的选择”。所以此处要用might表示“可能”。

　　10.—I tried many times,but I still failed in the experiment.

　　—Don’t be discouraged.　 and the problem will be settled. 

　　A.Making a little effort B.There being a little effort

　　C.If you make a bit effort D.A bit more effort

　　答案:D

　　解析:此题考查句式辨认。第二句的意思是“不要泄气。如果稍加努力的话,问题就会解决”。题干中有并列连词and,这说明前面应该是一个表示条件的分句。排除A、B和C三项,因为它们都是状语成分或状语从句。D项A bit more effort相当于一个祈使句。

　　三、阅读理解

　　Nowadays,it seems that everybody wants to be a leader.Countless books about how to manage a company or influence others fill bookstores.But one needn’t be a CEO or politician to be a leader.Former U.S.President John Adams said,“If your action inspires others to dream more,learn more,do more and become more,you are a leader.”

　　The key to becoming such a leader lies in character.People follow only those whom they respect,trust and admire.What attractive traits does such a leader have?Below are five of the most important.

　　Leaders have courage

　　The New York firefighters who ran into the burning World Trade Tower to rescue others are modernday models of courage.Yet even more than physical courage,the everyday demands of modern life require moral courage.Insisting on doing the right thing despite pressure to act otherwise takes such courage.

　　Leaders must face fear and doubt in many of the decisions they make.Having these feelings doesn’t mean one isn’t courageous.After all,courage is not the absence of fear.Rather,it’s doing the right thing despite one’s fears.

　　Leaders are humble

　　Being humble simply means having an accurate view of one’s own limitations.Everybody has limitations.Leaders deal with theirs by seeking help from others.

　　When leaders seek help,they recognize the skills that order other people bring to the table.And when they are successful,leaders generously praise all who contributed to the success.Humble leaders don’t promote themselves;they promote others.

　　Learning is a lifelong goal,no matter one’s position.Humble leaders are never too proud to learn from all sources of knowledge—even those under them.

　　Leaders serve others

　　Just Christ said,“If anyone wants to be first,he must be the very last,and the servant of all.” Leaders serve others and put the needs of others before themselves.They make the good of everyone on the team a personal priority.

　　Leaders who serve others help the whole team accomplish more.Leaders do things to make sure everybody has the resources needed.They go the extra mile to help out during a busy rush.When leaders serve,followers are also encouraged to serve each other.

　　Leaders have passion

　　Money or success can motivate someone to show up for an activity.But what motivates one to really put his heart into something?The answer is passion—the feeling that the activity is significant.

　　Outstanding leaders inspire others because they are motivated by passion for what they do.Leaders show the significance of routine work to others by emphasizing the big picture.They demonstrate how an activity not only benefits the individual,but also one’s family,community and entire society.Their passion ignites the passion of others.

　　Leaders have integrity

　　One’s integrity can be measured by what one does when nobody is looking.Leaders practice what they preach all the time,not just in the presence of others.Leaders also set the example for integrity.If a leader values being punctual,he arrives early.

　　Leadership is more about who you are than what you know or can do.By following these principles,you can become a better person.And that in turn will make you a better leader.
