活页练(七)单项填空+完形填空+阅读理解
Ⅰ.单项填空
1.After the flooding, people were suffering in that area,________urgently needed clean water,medicine and shelter to survive.(2017·江苏,22)
A.which
B.who
C.where
D.what
答案 B
解析 指人的先行词people在非限制性定语从句中充当主语,所以用关系代词who引导。故选B项。
2.A lot of language learning,________has been discovered,is happening in the first year of life,so parents should talk much to their children during that period.(2017·安徽,29)
A.as
B.it
C.which
D.this
答案 A
解析 句意为:正如被发现的那样,大量的语言学习是在人生的第一年发生的,所以父母应当在那个时期和孩子多说话。空白处所在句为非限制性定语从句,故B、D两项可排除。由句意知空格处的关系词指代a lot of language learning is happening in the first year of life这个句子。指代某个句子时,as引导的非限制性定语从句可后指或前指,而which引导的从句只能前指。此处为后指,因此A项正确。
3.We live in an age________more information is available with greater ease than ever before.
(2017·浙江,9)
A.why
B.when
C.to whom
D.on which
答案 B
解析 when引导定语从句,在从句中作时间状语,修饰先行词an age(时代)。
4.The air quality in the city,________ is shown in the report,has improved over the past two months.(2017·福建,23)
A.that
B.it
C.as
D.what
答案 C
解析 句意为:正如报告中所显示的,这个城市的空气质量在过去的两个月已经得到了改善。分析句子结构可知,两个逗号之间的部分为非限制性定语从句;that不能用于引导非限制性定语从句;it和what不能作定语从句的引导词。故选C项。
5.I wish to thank Professor Smith,without________help I would never have got this far.(2017·天津,7)
A.who
B.whose
C.whom
D.which
答案 B
解析 句意为:我想要感谢史密斯教授,没有他的帮助我就不会走得这么远。whose是关系代词,引导定语从句,表示“……的”。考生容易误选C项,因为只看到了without whom语意上相当于without Professor Smith,而忽略了题干中的help。若选C项的话,可去掉题干中的help。
6.It is the third time that she has won the race,________ has surprised us all.(2017·陕西,14)
A.that
B.where
C.which
D.what
答案 C
解析 考查定语从句。所填词前有逗号,是非限制性定语从句,先行词是整个主句,关系词在从句中作主语,故选C。其余选项与题干不符。
7.Care of the soul is a gradual process ________ even the small details of life should be considered.(2017·湖南,34)
A.what
B.in what
C.which
D.in which
答案 D
解析 句意为:心灵的护理是一个渐进的过程,在这个过程中,甚至生活中那些微小的细节都应该加以考虑。in which引导限制性定语从句,which代指前面的process。
8.When deeply absorbed in work,________he often was,he would forget all about eating or sleeping.(2017·北京,26)
A.that
B.which
C.where
D.when
答案 B
解析 句意为:当他全身心地投入工作中时,他就会废寝忘食,而他经常这样(全身心地投入工作)。由引导词前面的逗号可知,这是一个非限制性定语从句,所以首先排除that。由定语从句的was可知,定语从句缺少表语,所以排除在定语从句中作状语的where和when。故选B项。
9.By 16∶30,________was almost closing time,nearly all the paintings had been sold.(2017·江西,28)
A.which
B.when
C.what
D.that
答案 A
解析 从后面的closing time“打烊时间,停止营业时间”可以得知此句是在谈时间,但是此句中缺少主语,前面又有一个逗号,所以可以确定这里是一个非限制性定语从句,用which引导。
10.That evening,________I will tell you more about later,I ended up working very late.(2017·大纲全国Ⅱ,8)
A.that
B.which
C.what
D.when
答案 B
解析 句意为:那天晚上我一直工作到很晚,我过后会告诉你关于那晚更详细的情况。本题中两个逗号之间的部分是一个非限制性定语从句,关系代词which代替先行词that evening。解答本题的关键是能够正确分析句子结构。that不能引导非限制性定语从句;what不能引导定语从句;when在从句中作状语,不能作宾语。
11.The film brought the hours back to me ________ I was taken good care of in that faraway village.
A.until
B.that
C.when
D.where
答案 C
解析 本题考查分隔定语从句的关系词的选择。做好本题的关键是要能辨认出该定语从句的先行词the hours和关系词被介词短语back to me所分隔。定语从句的先行词是表时间的名词hours,并且关系词在从句中用作状语,故应选择表示时间的关系副词when。
12.Is there anyone in your class ________ family is in the country?
A.who
B.who’s
C.which
D.whose
答案 D
解析 whose引导定语从句,在从句中作主语family的定语。
13.I’m interested in ________ you have said.A.all that
B.all what
C.that
D.which
答案 A
解析 that引导定语从句,因为先行词是all,所以只能选用that引导。
14.I was given three books on cooking,the first ________ I really enjoyed.
A.of that
B.of which
C.that
D.which
答案 B
解析 从句还原成完整句子应该是“I really enjoyed the first of those.”故选of which。
15.—So you have met Maria?
—Yes,it was last week ________ we attended Jack’s party.
A.that
B.there
C.which
D.when
答案 D
解析 这是一个省略句,完整形式是:It was last week when we attended Jack’s party that I met Maria.句子的主体部分是一个强调句型,被强调部分last week后跟一个定语从句。last week是先行词,从句中缺少时间状语,用when来引导。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Mothers and daughters go through so much—yet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Perri Klass and her mother,Sheila Solomon Klass,both gifted professional writers,prove to be ideal cowriters as they examine their decades of motherhood,daughterhood,and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped(重叠).
Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother’s: both have fulltime careers; both have published books,articles,and stories; each has three children; they both love to read.They also love to travel—in fact,they often take trips together.But in truth,the harder they look at their lives,the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.
A child of the Depression(大萧条),Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls.Starting with her college education,she has fought for everything she’s ever accomplished.Perri,on the other hand,grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s.For Sheila,wasting time or money is a crime,and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury,but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.
Each writing in her own unmistakable voice,Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains,the love and bitterness,the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together.Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork.Perri admits that she can’t sort out all the mess in the households,even though she knows it drives her mother crazy.Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working,admit longhidden sorrows,and enjoy precious memories.
Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together,Perri and Sheila tell their motherdaughter story with honesty,humor,enthusiasm,and admiration for each other.A written account in two voices,Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet(二重奏) that produces a deep,strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.(2017·湖北,B)
1.Why does Perri think that her own life has mirrored her mother’s?
A.They both have gone through difficult times.
B.They have strong emotional ties with each other.
C.They have the same joys and pains,and love and bitterness.
D.They both have experiences as daughter,mother and writer.答案 D
解析 细节理解题。由第二段的第一句话“Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother’s: both have fulltime careers; both have published books,articles,and stories; each has three children; they both love to read.”可知Perri认为她和她母亲有很多相似的经历,故选D项。
2.The word “luxury” in Paragraph 3 means________.A.something rare but not pleasant
B.something that cannot be imagined
C.something expensive but not necessary
D.something that can only be enjoyed by boys
答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。文章第三段第一句话“A child of the Depression(大萧条),Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls.”由经济大萧条期间这个时间背景可推知,对于女孩子来讲接受教育被认为是昂贵而没必要的;本段最后对Sheila和Perri消费观念的对比也可推知C项正确。
3.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The content of the book.
B.The purpose of the book.
C.The influence of the book.
D.The writing style of the book.
答案 A
解析 段落大意题。由第四段第一句“Each writing in her own unmistakable voice,Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains,the love and bitterness,the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together.”及最后一句“Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working,admit longhidden sorrows,and enjoy precious memories.”以及第五段内容可知本段是她们所写的书的内容,故选A项。
4.How are women’s lives explored in this book?
A.In a musical form.
B.Through field research.
C.With unique writing skills.
D.From different points of view.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。由文章最后一段第一句话“Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together...”可知该书是她们从不同的观点来探索女性的生活。
