2017届高考英语（牛津译林版）一轮复习课时提升作业：(二十四) 选修8 Unit 1 The written word

　　课时提升作业(二十四)

　　选修8　Unit 1

　　(建议用时40分钟)

　　. 单项填空

　　1. (2017·安徽师大附中模拟)This is the best way they have thought of ________ the ________ miners.

　　A. rescuing; burying B. to rescue; buried

　　C. to rescue; burying

　　D. rescuing; buried

　　【解析】选B。句意: 这是他们所想出的营救被埋矿工的最好的办法。此句中way后跟了两个定语, 一个是定语从句they have thought of; 另一个是非谓语动词形式。way后面的定语既可用不定式也可用“of+v. -ing形式”, 因此可排除A、D两项; 另外, miners与bury之间为动宾关系, 所以应用过去分词buried作定语。

　　【加固训练】

　　The driver who died in the accident could have ________ , but he was sent to hospital too late. A. cured

　　B. recovered

　　C. survived

　　D. rescued

　　【解析】选C。考查动词词义辨析。句意: 死于事故的那位司机本能够活下来的, 但送到医院时太晚了。survive“活下来”符合句意。cure治愈; recover康复; rescue营救。

　　2. (2017·徐州模拟)The new mayor, who adored ________ to the volleyball match, didn’t approve ________ the new building plans at the meeting.

　　A. going; of discussing

　　B. going; to discuss

　　C. to go; of discussing

　　D. to go; discussing

　　【解析】选A。adore后应跟动名词作宾语, 故可排除C、D两项; approve of“赞成”, 故选A。

　　3. (2017·合肥模拟)Hearing the ________ cry for help, the brave young man rushed out without wearing his coat in such cold weather.

　　A. curious B. gentle

　　C. rigid

　　D. desperate

　　【解析】选D。句意: 听到有人拼命地呼救, 那个勇敢的年轻人在如此冷的天气里没穿外套就冲了出去。desperate“绝望的, 拼命的”符合句意。curious好奇的; gentle温柔的; rigid死板的, 固执的。

　　4. She ________ to clean out the spare room last week, but it was much too occupied at that time.

　　A. intended B. was intended

　　C. had intended

　　C. to understand; understand

　　D. understand; to be understood

　　【解析】选B。句意: 既然用英语不能使同学们明白你所讲的内容, 你可以说汉语让大家听懂。the class和understand之间为主动关系, 所以第一个空用动词原形作宾语补足语; yourself和understand之间为被动关系, 所以第二个空用过去分词作宾语补足语。

　　6. (2017·江南十校联考)—Is it necessary to look up every new word when I come across it in reading?

　　C. abnormal

　　D. typical

　　【解析】选D。It is typical of sb. to do sth. 是固定句型, 意为“某人一向如此”。

　　8. (2017·南通模拟)Billy Crystal hosted the Academy Awards again this year, and his performances always ________ the expectations of most audience.

　　A. put up with B. end up with

　　C. live up to

　　A. took B. had taken

　　C. have taken

　　D. should have taken

　　【解析】选B。“I would rather+从句”表示与现在或将来事实相反的假设从句用一般过去时, 表示与过去事实相反的假设从句用过去完成时。根据后面的“how worried I was”可知, 此处表示与过去事实相反的假设, 故选B。

　　____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

　　【参考范文】

　　Recently, the air quality in China has raised widespread concern. As is indicated in the picture, an old man and his grandson are taking a walk in the street with masks covering their mouths. As the haze is becoming heavier and heavier, they find it hard to see the buildings and trees around them clearly.

　　The picture conveys that air pollution is quite severe in China. Many factors account for this phenomenon. In the first place, vehicles sending large quantities of poisonous gases are a major source of air pollution. Furthermore, factories that release a great deal of smoke are also responsible for the poor air quality. Besides, burning materials like coal or oil for homes and offices is another major contributor to air pollution.

　　Personally, to improve the air quality, the government and the common citizens should make joint efforts. Riding and walking are wise options for public travels. Meanwhile, effective laws are supposed to be made to guarantee good air quality.
