(2020·惠州高三調(diào)研)Being “young” is associated with all the good things in life—beauty, hope, and energy. But youth also has negative associations—impulsiveness, troublemaking, and irresponsibility. This negative side seems to be what society focuses on more, which is why young people have mostly been considered as idle and difficult.
But when it comes to Generation Z—those born between 1995 and 2010—this__stereotype doesn’t seem to apply anymore.
In Japan, for example, Gen Zers are less likely to buy on impulse, but take into consideration more a product’s true value.“They’re looking at the companies, not just the products,” Masahiko Uotani, CEO of Japanese cosmetics company Shiseido, told Bloomberg.“They’re asking,‘Are they really delivering value to the society? Are they promoting diversity and inclusiveness?’”
Gen Zers are also more grounded than we’ve expected them to be. According to a recent survey by Bank of America, more than half of young adults aged between 18 and 23 said they were planning to buy a house within five years. And they’re not just saying it—they are willing to make sacrifices for it, including getting a second job and saving money for a down payment instead of spending it on a vacation.
“Despite their young age, this group is pragmatic and actively planning for their future,” D. Steve Boland, head of Consumer Lending at Bank of America, told USA Today.“They have a clear vision of how they are willing to help themselves in order to make it happen.”
Social issues are also at the center of concern of Gen Zers, who take themselves as a changing force of the world. In India, for example, young people who have just reached the voting age are eager to vote for a new leader who is capable of solving problems that matter the most to them, including pollution, unemployment and women’s safety.
As a Gen Zer yourself, what is your plan for the future?
【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】 Z一代是指在1995年和2010年之間出生的人,這一代人在消費(fèi)方面比較理智。他們比我們想象中更理性、務(wù)實(shí),他們對(duì)未來(lái)有清晰的設(shè)想,這顛覆了人們對(duì)年輕人的傳統(tǒng)看法。
1.What do the underlined words “this stereotype” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Being young is good.
B.Gen Zers are born after 1995.
C.The traditional poor impressions on the youth.
D.The associations with young people.
C 解析:詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第一段第二、三句可知,社會(huì)更關(guān)注與年輕人相關(guān)的負(fù)面情況,通常,年輕人被認(rèn)為是懶散的和難相處的。結(jié)合畫(huà)線部分所在句可知,此處表述這種刻板印象不再適用于Z一代。故畫(huà)線部分指的是上文提到的人們對(duì)年輕人的傳統(tǒng)的、糟糕的印象,故選C。
2.We can infer from the third paragraph that ________.
A.Gen Zers in Japan are picky
B.Gen Zers are self-centered
C.Gen Zers care little about products
D.Gen Zers are wise when shopping
D 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容,尤其是“Gen Zers are less likely to buy on impulse...‘They’re looking at the companies, not just the products’”可知,Z一代不太可能沖動(dòng)購(gòu)物,他們會(huì)更多地考慮產(chǎn)品的真正價(jià)值,由此可推知,Z一代在購(gòu)物時(shí)是明智的,故正確答案為D。A項(xiàng)意為“日本的Z一代很挑剔”,第三段是講述日本的Z一代在消費(fèi)中很理性,并無(wú)信息表明他們挑剔。
3.What’s D.Steve Boland’s attitude to the Gen Zers?
A.Approving. B.Negative.
C.Indifferent. D.Critical.
A 解析:觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞D.Steve Boland定位到文章第五段,根據(jù)該段內(nèi)容可知,D.Steve Boland認(rèn)為盡管Z一代很年輕,但這代人務(wù)實(shí)且積極地規(guī)劃他們的未來(lái),他們有清晰的設(shè)想并愿意努力去實(shí)現(xiàn)它;由此可推知,D.Steve Boland對(duì)于Z一代是持贊同的態(tài)度的,故正確答案為A。
4.Which of the following words may best describe the Gen Zers?
A.Confident and independent.
B.Visionary and responsible.
C.Persistent and down-to-earth.
D.Active and creative.
B 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三段可知,Z一代會(huì)積極規(guī)劃他們的未來(lái)并努力實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的設(shè)想,由此可知,他們是有遠(yuǎn)見(jiàn)的;又根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的內(nèi)容,尤其是第一句“Social issues are also...of the world.”可知,社會(huì)問(wèn)題也是Z一代關(guān)注的中心,并且他們認(rèn)為自己是改變世界的力量,由此可推知Z一代是有責(zé)任感的。故正確答案為B。C項(xiàng)意為“執(zhí)著且務(wù)實(shí)的”,文中體現(xiàn)了Z一代是務(wù)實(shí)的,但沒(méi)有相關(guān)信息表明他們是執(zhí)著的。
【難句分析】 According to a recent survey by Bank of America, more than half of young adults aged between 18 and 23 said they were planning to buy a house within five years.
分析:According to a recent survey by Bank of America是介詞短語(yǔ)作狀語(yǔ);主句主語(yǔ)是more than half of young adults,謂語(yǔ)是said; they were planning to buy a house within five years是省略了that的賓語(yǔ)從句,作said的賓語(yǔ)。
譯文:根據(jù)最近美國(guó)銀行所做的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查,一半以上的18歲到23歲的年輕人說(shuō)他們正計(jì)劃在五年之內(nèi)買(mǎi)房子。
B
(2020·濟(jì)南高三質(zhì)檢)Children in rural areas of Cambodia often suffer from or even die of preventable illnesses because there is not any soap available.
In 2014, Samir Lakhani, an American college student, saw the issue while volunteering in a Cambodian village.“I remember quite vividly a mother bathing her newborn baby with laundry powder, which is so harmful to the skin,” said Lakhani.“It’s difficult for rural Cambodians to access soap. First is affordability. If you earn only $1.50 every day, you won’t spend $1 on a bar of soap. Then comes access. The demand is so low that local shops don’t stock soap. The last reason, because many Cambodians don’t really understand where diseases come from, they don’t know how to prevent them, including using soap.”
After figuring out a solution to the problem: the barely used soap in hotels, Lakhani started asking hotels to donate leftover soap.“They were all eager to help,” he explained.
Lakhani registered Eco-Soap Bank shortly afterwards. Soon, he received enough funds to hire disadvantaged Cambodian women to collect and reproduce the used soap.
Today, the organization has four recycling centers across the country, providing jobs to 35 local women. And so far, some 174,000 bars of soap have been donated, about 24,000 pounds of soap has been recycled, and hygiene(衛(wèi)生) has been improved for about 661,000 people.“We are killing__three__birds with one stone,” Lakhani said.
When it comes to the future of Eco-Soap Bank, Lakhani said,“We’ve just scratched the surface. Lack of hygiene is not something unique to Cambodia. The demand for improved hygiene in the developing world is huge, and much remains to be done. We’re looking at seven countries to expand to in the near future.”
【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】 柬埔寨農(nóng)村地區(qū)的孩子經(jīng)常遭受甚至死于可預(yù)防的疾病,因?yàn)闆](méi)有任何可用的肥皂;美國(guó)人Samir Lakhani注意到了這個(gè)問(wèn)題,于是他開(kāi)始請(qǐng)求旅館捐贈(zèng)肥皂并成立了Eco-Soap Bank來(lái)解決該地區(qū)的肥皂問(wèn)題。
5.Which of the following is not mentioned as the reason why rural Cambodians don’t use soap?
A.Poverty. B.Inaccessibility.
C.Unawareness. D.Tradition.
D 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“affordability”“access”以及“many Cambodians don’t really understand where diseases come from, they don’t know how to prevent them”可知,貧困、缺少接觸途徑以及缺乏意識(shí)是柬埔寨人很少用肥皂的原因。故選D。
6.What does the underlined part “killing three birds” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Saving soap, curing diseases and providing education.
B.Stopping pollution, providing jobs and inspiring donation.
C.Reducing waste, providing employment and improving health.
D.Recycling waste, helping charity and improving community hygiene.
C 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中的“four recycling centers”和“providing jobs”以及“hygiene(衛(wèi)生) has been improved”可知,“killing three birds”在文章中指的是減少?gòu)U物、提供就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)以及改進(jìn)健康狀況。故選C。
7.What can we infer about Eco-Soap Bank?
A.It won’t be long before it expands to the whole world.
B.There’s little it can do without other countries’ assistance.
C.It will make greater contributions to the developing world.
D.It will soon settle the problem of poor hygiene in Cambodia.
C 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容尤其是最后一句“We’re looking at seven countries to expand to in the near future.”可知,Eco-Soap Bank將會(huì)把自己的服務(wù)擴(kuò)展到其他七個(gè)發(fā)展中國(guó)家。由此可推知,Eco-Soap Bank將對(duì)發(fā)展中國(guó)家作出更大貢獻(xiàn)。故選C。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The demand for improved hygiene in the developing world is huge, and much remains to be done.”可知,該組織主要是改進(jìn)發(fā)展中國(guó)家的衛(wèi)生狀況,并沒(méi)有擴(kuò)展到全世界,故A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤;文章沒(méi)有提到B、D兩項(xiàng)所表述的內(nèi)容。
8.What do we know about the text?
A.Eco-Soap Bank helps improve hygiene.
B.Cambodian women have a bright future.
C.A US young man calls for helping poor countries.
D.Lack of hygiene remains a serious problem in the world.
A 解析:推理判斷題。通讀全文可知,文章講述了Eco-Soap Bank能為柬埔寨鄉(xiāng)村地區(qū)的人提供肥皂,從而改善那里的衛(wèi)生狀況,故A項(xiàng)正確。文章第五段只提到了35位當(dāng)?shù)貗D女獲得工作,故B項(xiàng)以偏概全;本文主要講述美國(guó)人Samir Lakhani成立了Eco-Soap Bank來(lái)幫助解決柬埔寨的肥皂問(wèn)題,未提到他呼吁幫助一些貧困國(guó)家,故C項(xiàng)不符合題意;文章只提到了柬埔寨以及其他發(fā)展中國(guó)家的衛(wèi)生問(wèn)題,故D項(xiàng)不符合題意。

Ⅲ.短文改錯(cuò)
(2020·遼寧五校聯(lián)考)Last term our class hold a meaningful activity which required us to form the good habit in 100 days. I paired up with my deskmate. First, we discussed what habit that we should develop. All of us agreed to read for half and an hour each day. Then we made a list of the books we were interested. From then on, we managed to spare half an hour every day to reading books, however busy we were. Beside, we took a lot of notes and often exchanged idea. In the end, we accomplished our goal of reading for 100 days. How proudly we were! More importantly, due to the activity, reading books have become an essential part of our life.
答案:
Last term our class a meaningful activity which required us to form good habit in 100 days. I paired up with my deskmate. First, we discussed what habit we should develop.
③

How we were! More importantly, due to the activity, reading books become an essential part of our life.
①hold改為held??疾閯?dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)“Last term”可知,此處敘述的是過(guò)去發(fā)生的事情,應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。
②the改為a。考查冠詞。此處表示“養(yǎng)成一個(gè)好習(xí)慣”,表泛指,且good的發(fā)音以輔音音素開(kāi)頭,故用不定冠詞a。
③刪除habit后的that。考查賓語(yǔ)從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,discussed后的賓語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞為what,且“what habit”在從句中作賓語(yǔ),故that多余,應(yīng)刪除。
④All改為Both??疾榇~。根據(jù)上文提到的“I paired up with my deskmate.”可知,此處表示我們倆,故把All改為Both。
⑤在interested后加in。考查介詞。be interested in意為“對(duì)……感興趣”,為固定搭配。
⑥r(nóng)eading改為read。考查固定用法。spare...to do sth.意為“抽出……做某事”,為固定用法。
⑦Beside改為Besides??疾楦痹~。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知,此處應(yīng)用Besides表示“此外,而且”。 beside“在旁邊”為介詞。
⑧idea改為ideas??疾槊~的單復(fù)數(shù)。idea此處意為“看法,意見(jiàn)”,為可數(shù)名詞,且此處表示交換觀點(diǎn),根據(jù)常識(shí)可知,此處表示不止一種觀點(diǎn),故要用名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式。
⑨proudly改為proud??疾樾稳菰~。此處考查感嘆句固定句型“How+形容詞/副詞+主語(yǔ)+謂語(yǔ)!”。謂語(yǔ)為be動(dòng)詞were,故此處用形容詞。
⑩have改為has??疾橹髦^一致。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此處為動(dòng)名詞短語(yǔ)“reading books”作主語(yǔ),故謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用單數(shù)形式。
