篇章導(dǎo)讀:本文是一篇說明文。作者喜歡秋天這個季節(jié),它是作者反思和準(zhǔn)備未來的時刻,讓作者保持前進(jìn)。
1.found 考查動詞的時態(tài)。根據(jù)該句中的“Last weekend”和and前面的“went”可知,此處敘述發(fā)生在過去的事,故填found。
2.for 考查介詞。根據(jù)語境并分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此處用固定搭配the reason for ... “……的原因”,故填介詞for。
3.differently 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此處用副詞修飾動詞reacts,故填differently。
4.trees 考查名詞。根據(jù)語境并分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此處other修飾名詞復(fù)數(shù),且謂語動詞為復(fù)數(shù),故填trees。
5.is called 考查動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。根據(jù)語境并分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,主語“This effect”和“call”是被動關(guān)系,且此處描述的是一種客觀情況,應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時的被動語態(tài),故填is called。
6.reflection 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。of是介詞,后面接名詞、代詞或者動名詞作賓語;再結(jié)合空格后的“preparation”可知,此處應(yīng)填reflection。
7.a(chǎn)n 考查冠詞。此處泛指一個18歲的男孩,且所修飾單詞的發(fā)音以元音音素開頭,故填不定冠詞an。
8.moving 考查非謂語動詞。keep doing sth.意為“一直做某事,繼續(xù)做某事”,為固定用法,故填moving。
9.to go 考查非謂語動詞。encourage sb. to do sth. 意為“鼓勵某人做某事”,為固定用法,故填to go。
10.what 考查賓語從句的連接詞。根據(jù)語境且分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,空格處引導(dǎo)賓語從句,且在從句中作賓語,表示“什么”,故填what。
Ⅳ.短文改錯
Mistakes are unavoidable in life. But attitudes towards it may make a difference.
I still remember how my spoken English was improved. In a beginning, I always kept silent in our oral class to avoid make mistakes. Before long my teacher got to know about my situation. He encouraged me to speak out that I thought. Whenever I made mistakes and felt discouraging, my teacher and my classmates would help me figure out how I must avoid them. I also joined in an English club to get more chances to speak. Practice made perfect. Now I can talk fluent in English.
Just as the saying goes, “Every bean has its black.” Don't afraid of making mistakes. Learn from mistakes, and success is just waiting for us.
答案:
Mistakes are unavoidable in life. But attitudes towards may make a difference.
I still remember how my spoken English was improved. In beginning, I always kept silent in our oral class to avoid mistakes. Before long my teacher got to know about my situation. He encouraged me to speak out I thought. Whenever I made mistakes and felt , my teacher and my classmates would help me figure out how I avoid them. I also joined an English club to get more chances to speak. Practice perfect. Now I can talk in English.
Just as the saying goes, “Every bean has its black.” Don't afraid of making mistakes. Learn from mistakes, and success is just waiting for us.
難項分析:
第四處:that→what 考查賓語從句的連接詞。分析該句結(jié)構(gòu)可知,該句為含有賓語從句的主從復(fù)合句,what既作賓語從句的連接詞,也作從句中及物動詞thought的賓語,而that在賓語從句中不作成分,故將that改為what。
第六處:must→could 考查情態(tài)動詞。根據(jù)語境可知,該句表示“幫我弄明白怎樣才能避免這些錯誤”,作者回顧提高英語口語的過程,是過去發(fā)生的行為,故用could do sth.。
第十處:Don't后加be 考查祈使句。本句是祈使句的否定形式,句式結(jié)構(gòu)為Don't do sth.,即Don't后要接動詞原形,故要加be。
課時作業(yè)
Ⅰ.完形填空

2.A.rich B.weak
C.a(chǎn)lone D.social
答案:C 根據(jù)下文引用了Prince Charles的話——“我開始變老,我所想的就是種樹”,可見他與作者有相同的觀點,因而作者說自己not alone。故選C。

C.ignore D.a(chǎn)buse
答案:C raise “上升”;watch “看”;ignore “忽略”;abuse “濫用”。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu),此處動詞并列使用,意思相近,再結(jié)合句意“我們認(rèn)為這些樹是理所當(dāng)然的……生活在其中的其他生物,忽視了樹給我們帶來的凈化空氣等好處……”可知,這里選擇ignore。故選C。
7.A.honor B.good
C.credit D.justice
答案:B honor “榮譽”;good “好處”;credit “信用”;justice “正義”。根據(jù)“clean the air” (凈化空氣)的舉例可知,這里是表述樹木的好處。故選B。

C.betrayal D.a(chǎn)ffection
答案:D trust “信任”;sadness “悲傷”;betrayal “背叛”;affection “喜愛”。根據(jù)yet表示轉(zhuǎn)折,上文寫我們忽視了樹木給我們帶來的好處,砍伐它們,然而我們內(nèi)心對樹木還是有喜愛之情的。故選D。

Ⅱ.閱讀理解
(2020·貴陽市普通高中高三年級摸底考試)
Alabama: Priester's Pecans
Dessert in the South basically starts and ends with a gooey pecan pie, especially in Alabama, where the pecan is the official state nut. While there are plenty of farms that pick and package pecans, perhaps the most famous is Priester's, a family-run business that has been supplying Alabama with its favorite nuts for over seven decades.
Alaska: Salmon Jerky
Forget beef jerky (肉干)—in Alaska, it's all about the salmon jerky. Home to five different species of the flavorful fish (king, red, pink, silver, and chum), the northernmost state produces nearly one-third of the wild salmon consumed around the world. Bonus: Salmon is one of the seven healthiest fish you can eat.
Arizona: Saguaro Cactuses
As the largest cactus (仙人掌) in the United States, the saguaro cactus is found only in Arizona's Sonoran Desert. Living to be up to 200 years old, the cactuses, whose flower is also the state's flower, are generally around 30 feet tall and can grow unlimited arms. Want to see for yourself? Visit one of these 10 outstanding deserts in America.
California: The Wine Guide
It isn't called the “Wine Country” for no reason. Northern California, specifically Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley, produces over 60,000 registered wine labels, making vino the state's most valuable agricultural product. If you're looking for the most popular varietals (品種葡萄酒), the top two frequently planted grapes are Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon.
篇章導(dǎo)讀:本文是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章介紹了美國四個州的特產(chǎn),包括阿拉巴馬州的Priester農(nóng)場的山核桃,阿拉斯加州的鮭魚干和亞利桑那州的巨柱仙人掌以及加利福尼亞州的葡萄酒。
1.How long has the Priester's farm lasted?
A.Over 7 years. B.Over 30 years.
C.Over 70 years. D.Over 200 years.
答案:C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段尾句中的“Priester's, a family-run business ... for over seven decades”可知,Priester農(nóng)場有70多年的歷史,故C項正確。
2.Which state is famous for salmon?
A.Alaska. B.Arizona.
C.Alabama. D.California.
答案:A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞“salmon”定位至Alaska: Salmon Jerky部分,根據(jù)該部分前兩句可知,阿拉斯加州以鮭魚而聞名,故A項正確。
3.Where does the text probably come from?
A.A library guide. B.A news report.
C.A project handbook. D.A travel guide.
答案:D 推理判斷題。通讀全文可知,本文主要介紹了美國四個州的特產(chǎn)。據(jù)此可推知,本文最可能摘自旅游手冊,故D項正確。
(2020·遼寧省五校協(xié)作體高三上學(xué)期聯(lián)合模擬考試)In a long-sleeved shirt and jeans, Dieudonne Twahirwa looks nothing like the traditional African farmer. The 30-year-old owner of Gashora Farm knows what a difference that makes.
“You need more role models,” he said, standing among knee-h(huán)igh rows of chilli (辣椒) plants. “If you have young farmers, they have land and they drive to the farm, others may think, ‘Why can't I do that?’”
Mr Twahirwa, a university graduate, bought a friend's tomato farm six years ago for $150. He made $1,500 back in two months. “You have to link farming with entrepreneurship and real numbers,” he said.
Many young Africans are abandoning areas in the countryside, choosing not to work hard and for a long time in the fields—a job made tougher by climate change.
But Twahirwa is one of the growing band of successful farmers working to make agriculture's image on the continent more attractive. Some 1,000 farmers now produce chillies for him. He is starting a fourth farm of his own, and exports fresh and dried chillies and oil to Britain, the United States, India, and Kenya.
Africa has the world's youngest population and 65 percent of its uncultivated arable land (耕地后備資源). Yet accessing land and loans is difficult, and African productivity is low with crop yields just 56 percent of the international average.
“Agriculture is mainly associated with suffering and no young person wants to suffer,” said Tamara Kaunda. She believes African agriculture needs a change to get rid of its old-fashioned image of very hard and tiring work with a hoe. “Show young people tractors, green fields, nice irrigation systems and smartphones,” she said.
Getting young people involved in agriculture does not mean they have to work on a farm. For example, in coffee production, the beans go from the farm to the washing station, then to be separated from the husks (外殼).
篇章導(dǎo)讀:本文是一篇說明文。非洲有世界上最年輕的人群與大量的耕地后備資源,但是由于氣候與農(nóng)業(yè)技術(shù)的落后,很多年輕人都不愿意從事農(nóng)業(yè)。Dieudonne Twahirwa則為非洲青年樹立了榜樣。
4.What does “Why can't I do that?” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Why can't I drive to the farm?
B.Why can't they farm?
C.They follow the example of those farmers.
D.They bought a friend's tomato farm.
答案:C 句意理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“If you have young farmers, they have land and they drive to the farm, others may think, ‘Why can't I do that?’”可知,此處表示如果你有年輕的農(nóng)民,他們有土地,而且開車去農(nóng)場,其他人可能會想,為什么“我”不能那樣做?該句意在表明其他人認(rèn)為他們可以效仿這些農(nóng)民的做法。故選C。
5.What makes it harder for farmers to work?
A.Poor land. B.Climate.
C.Low income. D.Long working hours.
答案:B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“a job made tougher by climate change”可知,在非洲,讓農(nóng)民的勞動難度更大的原因在于氣候變化。故選B。
6.What can we learn about Twahirwa according to Paragraph 5?
A.He made a fortune by growing chillies.
B.His chillies are superb in the world.
C.Farmers working for him live a simple life.
D.The locals aren't willing to buy his chillies.
答案:A 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中的“Some 1,000 farmers now produce chillies for him. He is starting a fourth farm of his own”可推知,Twahirwa通過種植紅辣椒賺了很多錢。故選A。
7.When it comes to agriculture in Africa, what do people think about it?
A.Loans are difficult.
B.Most land is uncultivated.
C.Crop yields are rather low.
D.Farming methods are out of date.
答案:D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“African agriculture needs a change to get rid of its old-fashioned image of very hard and tiring work with a hoe”可知,非洲農(nóng)業(yè)需要改變,以擺脫其傳統(tǒng)的形象:使用鋤頭的非常辛苦和累人的工作。由此可推知,當(dāng)談及非洲的農(nóng)業(yè)時,人們想到的是落后的耕作方法。故選D。
Ⅲ.短文改錯
Last summer, I got a part-time job as a waiter. I worked hard and very helpful. Everyone in a restaurant including some regular customer liked me. One day, a foreign couple in their fifties entered into the restaurant. I was happy to have a chance to practice their spoken English. I went up to greet them warm. After I took their order, I told them their food will be served quickly because we Chinese respect the elderly. After heard my words, a look of displeasure appeared on the wife's face. Seeing my confusing look, her husband explained to me the Westerners disliked the description “old”. I apologized to them but realized the importance of knowing cultural differences.
答案:
Last summer, I got a part-time job as a waiter. I worked hard and very helpful. Everyone in restaurant including some regular liked me. One day, a foreign couple in their fifties entered the restaurant. I was happy to have a chance to practice spoken English. I went up to greet them . After I took their order, I told them their food be served quickly because we Chinese respect the elderly. After my words, a look of displeasure appeared on the wife's face. Seeing my look, her husband explained to me the Westerners disliked the description “old”. I apologized to them realized the importance of knowing cultural differences.
1.very前加was 考查謂語動詞。helpful “有幫助的”,and連接兩個并列的謂語,根據(jù)and前的worked可知,應(yīng)在very前加was。
2.a(chǎn)→the 考查冠詞。前面提到自己做服務(wù)員, 所以restaurant特指自己工作的那家餐館,其前應(yīng)用定冠詞the。故將a改為the。
3.customer→customers 考查名詞。customer “顧客”,為可數(shù)名詞,其前有some修飾,因此應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故將customer改為customers。
4.去掉into 考查動詞的用法。enter意為“進(jìn)入”時為及物動詞,不與into連用。故將into去掉。
5.their→my 考查代詞。主語是I,此處指“我很高興有機(jī)會練習(xí)一下我的英語口語”。故將their改為my。
6.warm→warmly 考查副詞。修飾動詞greet應(yīng)用副詞。故將warm改為warmly。
7.will→would 考查情態(tài)動詞。根據(jù)主句謂語動詞told可知,從句應(yīng)用一般過去時。故將will改為would。
8.heard→hearing 考查非謂語動詞。after為介詞,其后應(yīng)接名詞、代詞、動名詞作賓語。故將heard改為hearing。
9.confusing→confused 考查形容詞。此處描述作者臉上“困惑的表情”,應(yīng)用confused,意為“感到困惑的”。故將confusing改為confused。
10.but→and 考查連詞。realized和前面的apologized是并列謂語,在邏輯上是順承關(guān)系,應(yīng)用連詞and連接。故將but改為and。
