（四川专用）2016届高考英语二轮复习考前增分特训活页练：4

　　活页练(四)单项填空＋阅读理解＋

　　Ⅰ.单项填空

　　1．If he had spent more time practising speaking English before，he________able to speak it much better now.(2017·天津，14)

　　A．will be

　　B．would be

　　C．has been

　　D．would have been

　　答案　B

　　解析　考查虚拟语气。句意为：如果以前他花更多时间练习说英语的话，现在他英语就会说得好多了。由从句中的had spent可知从句与过去事实相反；由主句中的now可知主句与现在事实相反，故用would be。本题实际上是考查错综时间的虚拟语气。

　　2．He________sleep，although he tried to，when he got on such a hunt for an idea until he had caught it. (2017·湖南，32)

　　A．wouldn’t

　　B．shouldn’t

　　C．couldn’t

　　D．mustn’t

　　答案　C

　　解析　考查情态动词的辨析。wouldn’t不会；shouldn’t不应该；couldn’t不能；mustn’t禁止。根据语境可知，他显然是“不能”入睡，根据句中的although he tried to可知这里说的是过去的事情，所以用cannot的过去式。

　　3．I ________ myself more—it was a perfect day.(2017·浙江，3)

　　A．shouldn’t have enjoyed

　　B．needn’t have enjoyed

　　C．wouldn’t have enjoyed

　　D．couldn’t have enjoyed

　　答案　D

　　解析　句意为：我那时玩得再高兴不过了——那真是完美的一天。couldn’t have done不可能做过。此处用not和比较级连用表达最高级的含义，意为“从未比这更高兴过”。故选D项。

　　4．Eye doctors recommend that a child’s first eye exam ________ at the age of six months old.(2017·浙江，8)

　　A．was

　　B．be

　　C．were

　　D．is

　　答案　B

　　解析　recommend建议，其后常接that 引导的宾语从句，而宾语从句中要用sb.should do或者sth.should be done的形式，should常可省略。 故本题应选B项。

　　5．—Do you think George has passed the driving test?

　　—No.If so，he ________ his car to our college yesterday.(2017·福建，30)

　　A．would drive

　　B．drove

　　C．would have driven

　　D．had driven

　　答案　C

　　解析　句意为：——你认为George已经通过驾照考试了吗？——没有。如果通过的话，昨天他就会开车来我们的大学了。本题表达的是对过去事实的假设，句子结构为：If...had done...，...would(might，could，should) have done...。

　　6．When I was a child，I ________ watch TV whenever I wanted to.(2017·江西，29)

　　A．should

　　B．could

　　C．must

　　D．need

　　答案　B

　　解析　本题考查情态动词。should应该；could能够，可以；must必须；need需要。句意为：当我还是个孩子的时候，我想看电视的时候就可以看。根据句意可知，B项符合题意。

　　7．—It rained cats and dogs this morning.I’m glad we took an umbrella.

　　—Yeah，we would have got wet all over if we ________.(2017·重庆，29)

　　A．hadn’t

　　B．haven’t

　　C．didn’t

　　D．don’t

　　答案　A

　　解析　考查虚拟语气。根据第一句可知，下雨、带伞都是发生在过去的事情，故第二句“如果我们没带伞的话，全身都会淋湿的”这一情景是与过去事实相反的假设，故if条件句用过去完成时，主句用“would/should/might/could＋have done”。

　　8．I________use a clock to wake me up because at six o’clock each morning the train comes by my house.(2017·新课标全国，30)

　　A．couldn’t

　　B．mustn’t

　　C．shouldn’t

　　D．needn’t

　　答案　D

　　解析　根据后面的because引导的原因状语从句的内容可知选D项，即“因为每天早晨六点钟那列火车都经过我家，所以没有必要用闹钟来叫醒我”。couldn’t不能；mustn’t禁止；shouldn’t不应该；needn’t不必，不需要。

　　9．Grace doesn’t want to move to New York because she thinks if she________there，she wouldn’t be able to see her parents very often.

　　(2017·安徽，31)

　　A．lives

　　B．would live

　　C．has lived

　　D．were to live

　　答案　D

　　解析　句意为：格雷斯不想搬到纽约去，因为她认为，如果她住在那里，她就不能经常看见她的父母了。这是与将来情况相反的虚拟条件句。由主句知此处是对“未来”情况的虚拟。if引导的虚拟条件句中表示与将来的事实相反时可使用过去式、“should＋v.”或“were to＋v.”的形式，故选D项。

　　10．—Happy birthday!

　　—Thank you！It’s the best present I________for.(2017·江苏，35)

　　A．should have wished

　　B．must have wished

　　C．may have wished

　　D．could have wished

　　答案　D

　　解析　A项意为“本应该期望而实际上并非如此”；B项意为“一定期望”；C项意为“也许期望”；D项意为“能够期望”。句意为：——生日快乐！——谢谢你！这是我能期望的最好的礼物了。根据句意可知，应选D项。

　　11．It is required by the rules that students ________ get grades not lower than 85 in any subject in order to get the scholarship.

　　A．will

　　B．may

　　C．shall

　　D．would

　　答案　C

　　解析　考查情态动词。句意为：根据规定，学生如果想拿奖学金，任一单科成绩不得低于85分。shall用于第三人称，在条约、规定、法令等文件中表示义务或规定，意为“应，必须”。

　　12．I’m really very busy，otherwise I ________ certainly go there with you.

　　A．can

　　B．shall

　　C．will

　　D．would

　　答案　D

　　解析　考查虚拟语气。结合前半句中的内容以及后半句中的otherwise一词可知后半句应用虚拟语气，所以用would。

　　13．—God！My cell phone is missing.

　　—You ________ have left it at home.I heard you telephone our daughter in the bathroom.

　　A．shall

　　B．must

　　C．would

　　D．could

　　答案　B

　　解析　考查情态动词。根据答语第二句的内容可知第二个说话人认为对方“一定”是把手机忘在家里了。

　　14．Even students of average intelligence ________ become top students by improving their study habits.

　　A．must

　　B．can

　　C．have to

　　D．ought to

　　答案　B

　　解析　考查情态动词。句意为：即使智力一般的学生也可以通过改进学习习惯而成为优等生。can在此处表示“能够”。

　　15．—Look，I’ve bought some bread，including your favorite flavor.

　　—You ________ any because we still have plenty at home.

　　A．should have bought

　　B．could have bought

　　C．needn’t have bought

　　D．mustn’t have bought

　　答案　C

　　解析　答语句意为：你没有必要买，因为家里还有很多。故应用needn’t have done表示本不必做而实际上做了。could have done 表示过去本可以做某事却没做；should have done表示本应该做而实际上未做；mustn’t表示禁止。

　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　A

　　If Confucius(孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles.He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.

　　While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day，few people in the United States will give him a passing thought.It’s nothing personal.Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.

　　But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius.In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.

　　In the past two decades，the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities.More recently，the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries.These schools teach both Chinese language and culture.The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art，history and philosophy(哲学)．Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy.Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing to learn Chinese.So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States.Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.

　　So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.

　　Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.

　　As for the old thinker，he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West，even if his birthday is.

　　(2017·辽宁，C)

　　1．The opening paragraph is mainly intended to________.

　　A．provide some key facts about Confucius

　　B．attract the readers’ interest in the subject

　　C．show great respect for the ancient thinker

　　D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations

　　答案　B

　　解析　作者意图题。作者首先提出，如果孔子活到今天，按照西方国家的方式点蜡烛庆祝他的生日，吹蜡烛将会是一件麻烦的事。作者以这个作为开场白，目的是吸引读者。C项有一定的干扰性。

　　2．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students________.

　　A．have a great interest in studying Chinese

　　B．take an active part in Chinese competitions

　　C．try to get high scores in Chinese exams

　　D．fight for a chance to learn Chinese

　　答案　A

　　解析　推理判断题。第四段的第一句就是本段的主旨句。这一段讲述了孔子文化在西方国家的受欢迎程度，由此可以得出答案。

　　3．What is the best title for the passage?

　　A．Forgotten Wisdom in America

　　B．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language

　　C．Chinese Culture for Westerners

　　D．Old Thinker with a Big Future

　　答案　D

　　解析　标题归纳题。全文讲述了孔子学院在西方国家受欢迎的程度。它架起了一座东方文化向西方传播的桥梁，因此是古老的思想家与未来的结合。C项有一定的干扰性。本文主要介绍了孔子思想在西方国家的传播，因此C项的范围过大。

　　4．The passage is likely to appear in________.

　　A．a biography

　　B．a history paper

　　C．a newspaper

　　D．a philosophy textbook

　　答案　C

　　解析　推理判断题。本文介绍了孔子学院在西方的盛行，因此属于报道类文章，应出现在报纸上。

　　B

　　We asked Sophia how Make­A­Wish had first started.She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris，who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman.Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris’s dream come true—so，with everybody’s help，Chris，only seven years old at the time，had been a “policeman” for a day.“When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true，they decided to try and help other sick children too，and that was the beginning of Make­A­Wish，” explained Sophia.

　　Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special，happy time.A Make­A­Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world.Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true.They do this either by providing things that are necessary，or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can.(2017·安徽，C)
