Ⅱ. 阅读理解
第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Encouraging pupils to keep noise to a minimum should be a valuable component of all childrens education, according to a new research.
Dr. Helen Lees, from Stirling Universitys school of education, says that “enforced(强制的)silence” is seen as a punishment and often acts to suppress childrens natural ability. But she says that teaching children about the benefits of “enforced silence”— deliberate stillness that gives them the opportunity to focus and reflect in a stressfree environment —can have a significant effect on pupils concentration and behavior.
It is the latest in a string of researches to establish a link between the classroom environment and pupils academic ability.
A study almost a decade ago in London found that childrens exam results were cut by as much as a third if they were taught in noisy classrooms. Teaching unions have also called for a limit of 26℃ to be put on classroom temperatures because teachers and pupils struggle to work in hot conditions, and some educationalists claim that too much clutter(杂乱的东西)on classroom walls can prevent children from concentrating.
Dr. Lees said, “When we take some research on school settings and put it all together, what we see is that education without silence does not make much sense. In areas of better learning outcomes, better selfconfidence and wellbeing measures, enforced silence in a persons life and an individuals education is shown throughout the relevant research to be a benefit. ”
Dozens of schools across Britain have already introduced periods of “reflective silence” into the timetable.
Kevin Hogston, head of Sheringdale Primary, south London, has just introduced a minutes silence at the start of twiceweekly meetings in which children are taught breathing techniques and encouraged to reflect. The school plans to introduce it into classrooms every day.
16. According to Dr. Helen Lees, “enforced silence” .
A. is an effective way of punishment
B. does not make much sense in class
C. can improve pupils confidence
D. makes pupils more creative
17. The underlined word “suppress” in the second paragraph probably means “”.
A. preventB. improveC. applyD. reveal
18. What can be inferred from the research on school settings?
A. Students are more active if taught in noisy classrooms.
B. Silence makes a great difference to pupils.
C. Clutter on the walls can help students concentrate.
D. Most schools are not satisfactory in terms of classroom temperatures.
19. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Arranging classroom settings benefits studies
B. Achieving silence is beneficial for people
C. Using enforced silence is effective punishment
D. Keeping quiet in class improves academic performance
第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When I was a little girl, my mom would say, “Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others. ” 20 Friends and mates allow us to enjoy our successes and our joys, comfort us in our hard moments, and provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. Ive always looked at friends as the family we choose. They enrich our lives. As Robert Louis Steven once said, “ 21 ”
To be a good friend or partner, its important to be a good listener. Hear what your friend or mate has to say first rather than jump to conclusions or get defensive. 22 When they hear their words repeated back to them, it can help them to realize what they said was not exactly what they meant to say.
23 You know the old golden rule, “Care for others the way you would like them to care for you. ” The support of a friend during a tough time could make the difference between success and failure. Encouragement and confidence are the gifts that can help change a persons life.
Take care, though, with whom you choose to have close relationship, for they can have a great effect on yourselfrespect and life path. As someone once told me “ 24 They will either take you up or down. ”
A. I am afraid so.
B. It is quite true.
C. Friendship is the most important factor.
D. Sometimes it is useful to be their mirror.
E. A friend is a present which you give yourself.
F. The attitudes of your friends are like the buttons on a lift.
G. Patience, sympathy and understanding are also important qualities.
答案解析
1. B【解析】考查冠词用法。句意:这部新电影一发行就在全国各地的影院获得了巨大的成功。句中第一个空处用定冠词the, 表示特指。第二个空加不定冠词,a(big/great)hit表示非常成功的影视作品、小说或演出等。
2. C【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意:因为忙于进行一项实验,他不能抽出时间在家陪伴父母。occupy oneself in doing sth. 忙于某事。句中occupy动词与主句主语为逻辑上的主谓关系,故要用动词-ing形式,从句所表示的动作与主句的动作同时发生,因此要用现在分词的一般式作状语,而having occupied则表示从句的动作发生在主句之前。
3. B【解析】考查形容词辨析。句意:——汤姆是个可信赖的年轻人,他不会让我们失望的。——就是这样,他总是言出必行。从第二个人的答语来看,既然汤姆言出必行,他就是一个可信赖的年轻人, reliable 可靠的,可信赖的;independent 独立的;flexible 有弹性的,灵活的;confident 有信心的。
4. C【解析】考查状语从句。句意:他的车在回家途中出了故障。当他深夜回到家的时候,已经是睡觉时间了。本句中when用于引导时间状语从句,表示“当……时候”。
5. D【解析】考查动词时态。句意:——我发现我的时间太有限了。——噢,这并不让人感到意外。你最近一直在为即将到来的竞赛作准备。根据句子语境和时间状语recently可知,本句要用现在完成进行时,表示从过去开始并且到目前还在进行的动作。
6. B【解析】考查动词短语辨析。句意:——妈妈,我不明白努力学习有什么意义。——好了,亲爱的。数年的努力学习肯定会在你将来的事业中得到回报的。pay off 有报偿;得到好处;收到效果; make sure 确保,保证;bring back 恢复,使想起;pay back 偿还。由句意可知,选项B正确。
7. C【解析】考查祈使句的用法。句意:请帮个忙——邀请我的朋友史密斯先生今晚7:30来青年影院好吗?句中破折号之后的句子为祈使句结构,表示说话人的请求,用动词原形开头。本句也可表达为Please do me the favor to invite my friend Mr. Smith to Youth Theater at 7:30 tonight。
【易错提醒】本题易误选A项。原因是未注意到题中标点符号“—”,而误以为此处用不定式作目的状语。所以做题过程中要关注标点符号,正确判断句子结构,如果题目中无“—”,则选A。
8. A【解析】考查定语从句。句意:因为学生在校受伤或死亡的事故受到了频繁的报道,校园安全已经受到人们的极大关注。在句中由in which引导的定语从句修饰先行词accidents, in which也可替换成where在句中作地点状语。
9. D【解析】考查部分倒装句。句意:人们发现使用信用卡付账如此方便以至于越来越多的人申请信用卡。在so…that…引导的结果状语从句中,如果将“so + adj. /adv”放在句首,则that之前的主句部分要使用部分倒装,同时句中it为find的形式宾语,不可省略。将其还原成正常语序为:People find it so convenient to pay by credit card that more and more people apply for their credit cards. 。
10. B【解析】考查动词短语辨析。句意:然而,一桩有爱的婚姻,却不一定会最终都要有很多相同的志趣,共担更多的责任。result in导致,造成,与句意相符; take over接管,接任,接收;hold on不挂断电话;继续,坚持;keep to坚持;遵守。
11. D【解析】考查动词时态。句意:——你似乎和约翰先生很熟?——当然,在20世纪90年代我们曾共事过三年。根据第二个说话人所说的句子中的时间状语in the 1990s可知,该句谓语动词所表示的动作发生在过去,用一般过去时表述。
12. A【解析】考查情态动词用法。句意:午休可以让脑力恢复到最好的程度,使人们有更好的工作表现。can在句中用于表示可能性,意为“可以,可能,能够, 会”。
13. B【解析】考查形容词比较级用法。句意:——你觉得詹姆斯·卡梅隆的3D版《泰坦尼克号》怎么样?——妙极了!这部电影再感人不过了,它给我们带来了一次非常美好的体验。句中否定式与比较级连用,表示最高级概念。
14. C【解析】考查名词性从句。句意:楼兰是没有见过沙漠的旅行者根本预料不到的地方。题干中not at all之后的部分为表语从句,其中所缺少部分为从句中的谓语动词expect的宾语,故要用what, 表示“……的事物”。
15. B【解析】考查情景交际。句意:——你会接受他的求婚吗?——我?不可能。他是世界上我最不想嫁的人。not likely不可能;not really 真的没有,确实不是;not exactly不完全如此,不完全这样。not nearly远非,相当于far from。从He is the last man in the world I want to marry. 可知,第二个说话人根本不喜欢第一句对话中提到的那个人。
【方法技巧】
短语“Not really”已经成为近几年高考情景交际类试题的重要考点和热点之一。现将“Not really”的常见口语用法归结如下:
1. 表示轻微的否定,意为“不很”、“不十分”、“不完全是”等。例如:
1) —Are you busy now? 你现在忙吗?
—Oh, not really. Why? 哦,不怎么忙,有什么事?
2) —Do you want to come along? 你想同我们一起去吗?
—Not really. 不很想去。
3) —He tried to explain it to me but I just couldnt understand. Do you?
他设法给我解释,可我就是听不懂。你懂吗?
—Not really. 不很懂。
2. 表示怀疑或不相信,意为“不会吧”、“不见得”、“不会是真的吧”等。例如:
4) —Hes leaving tomorrow. 他明天就要走了。
—Not really. 不会吧。
5) —They got married last month. 他们上个月结婚了。
—Not really. 不会是真的吧!
3. 表示语气很强的否定,意为“真的没有”、“的确没有”、“事实上没有”等。例如:
6) —Did you watch the news on TV last night?
你昨天晚上在电视上看这个新闻了吗?
—Not really.
确实没有。
第一节
【文章大意】研究发现,在学校教育中,强制性的保持安静对于学生能有更好的成绩、自信和幸福可以起到重要的作用,正是鉴于此,英国的许多学校正在开展这种做法。
16. C【解析】细节理解题。从文章第五段中的In areas of better learning outcomes, better selfconfidence and wellbeing measures, enforced silence in a persons life and an individuals education is shown throughout the relevant research to be a benefit. ”可知,强制性的保持安静有利于提高学生的自信心。从文章第二段中is seen as a punishment and often acts to suppress childrens natural ability可知,它并不是一项有效的惩罚手段;第五段中what we see is that education without silence does not make much sense则说明课堂上没有安静的教育是没有道理的;文章中没有提到安静可以使学生更具创造性,故不正确。
17. A【解析】词义猜测题。从文章第二段中that “enforced silence” is seen as a punishment可知,下半句句意就为“限制了孩子们的天生的能力。”故suppress意为“阻止,防止”,与prevent一词同义。
18. B【解析】推理判断题。从文章第五段可以看出,如果学校的环境好的话,学生就会有更好的成绩,有更好的自信心,给学生的成长带来诸多方面的好处。故强制性的安静对学生产生重要影响。
19. D【解析】主旨大意题。本篇为说明文,旨在向读者说明强制性的安静环境对学生在学业方面所带来的积极影响。而在第一段就提到Encouraging pupils to keep noise to a minimum should be a valuable component of all childrens education,在第三段更进一步说It is the latest in a string of researches to establish a link between the classroom environment and pupils academic ability. 。整篇都是围绕这一话题展开和论述,故正确选项是D。
