高考英语二轮复习综合验收精讲(二)题一:Many factories and businesses around the globe have been struggling to deal with the severe economic realities of the recession(衰退), so they are having their employees take compulsory unpaid leave to save money. For some workers, their salaries have been cut by 20 percent, forced to stay home one out of every five working days. For some businesses, though, the economic downturn is actually a goldmineInstead of going out to fancy restaurants to dine with the whole family, many choose to stay at home. “People are eating out less and staying home more, which is driving our sales,” reports Domino’s Pizza chief manager Chris Moore. Pizza is very popular, and it is also very affordable for a family that has little extra money to spare. Domin o’s business in England rose 15 percent in the first six weeks this year compared with the previous year. Moore believes that the customers now will remain loyal when the financial situation rights itself. “By exceeding(超越)their expectations in terms of pr oduct quality and speed of delivery...these customers will stay with Domino’s when the economy becomes better.” said Moore.Delivered pizza is not the only winner in the stay-at-home economy. Almost all online games have been reporting record-high income since the middle of 2008. Online games are designed to enable players to let off steam by interacting with each other socially in the comfort of their own homes. A Shanghai-based online game producer recently joked: “The game businesses are worried about e conomic recovery.”Another business that has boomed during the recession is camping equipment. Luxury vacations for families are down, but people still want to get away from their dull lives. This means that sales of tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor equipment has gone up as families are trying to still have fun even though their bank accounts aren’t as good as they once were. There have been reports that sales of fishing equipment are on the rise because many people believe this can help lower their grocery bills.63. What is true about Domino’s in economic hard times?A. It is giving its employees a 20 percent cut.B. It has added four or five new cheaper pizzas.C. It has to close 15 percent of its stores.D. Its business is increasing quite64. What does the phrase “let off steam” mean in the third paragraph?A. Save money.B. Free one’s feelings.C. Kill another player online.D. Make money from an online65. How does the author present his point?A. By giving examples.B. By showing a sequence.C. By explaining causes and effects.D. By making comparisons and contrasts.66. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Domino’s PizzaB. In-house EconomyC. Booming Businesses题二:All around the world, shoppers flock to Wal-Mart to buy everything. In Texas, they come for another reason: to see the wind turbine (涡轮机) , which supplies 5% of the store’s electricity. It along with other facilities, such as exterior walls coated with heat-reflective paint, makes this Wal-Mart a green giant.The laws of economics suggest that Wal-Mart, with 5, 200 stores worldwide, influences everything including the price of all kinds of goods. It throws its weight behind environmental r esponsibility, and the impact could be amazing. “One little change in product packaging could save 1, 500 trees,” says Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott. “If everybody saves 1, 500 trees or 50 barrels of oil, at the end of the day you have made a huge difference.”Scott wants Wal-Mart to do its part too. He has promised to cut the existing greenhouse-gas emissions(排放)over the next few years and promised to construct new stores that are more efficient. He wants Wal-Mart’s fleet (车队)of more than 7, 000 trucks to get twice as many miles per gallon by 2015. Factories that show Wal-Mart they’re cutting air pollution will get preferential treatment in the supply chain. Wal-Mart says it’s working with consumer-product manufacturers to reduce their packaging and will reward them if they do so.Some people may doubt it is a bid to attract attention from Wal-Mart’s controversial laborand health-insurance practices. But it’s not just window dressing, because Wal-Mart sees profits in going green. Scott says, “This is a business philosophy, not a social philosophy. We don’t go where we don’t think there’s a great interest in change.”Like Bill Gates, who started his charitable foundation, Scott happens to be promoting Wal-Mart’s image at a time when his company’s reputatio n is declining. He acknowledges that he launched the plan partly to shield(保护,庇护)Wal-Mart from bad press about its contribution to global warming. “By doing what we’re doing today, we avoid the headline risks that are going to come for people who did not do anything,” he says. “At some point businesses will be held responsible f or the actions they take.” Meanwhile, should Wal-Mart succeed at shrinking its environmental footprint and lowering prices for green products, both the planet and the company will profit.67. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. Lee Scott is Wal-Mart’s CEOB. there are 5, 200 stores in the worldC. Wal-Mart has a great influence on the world marketD. Wal-Mart has more than68. What does the underlined sentence “This is a business philosophy, not a social philosophy.” mean in the fourth paragraph?A. Wal-Mart predicts huge profits in its green activity.B. Wal-Mart’s green activity is just window dressing.C. Wal-Mart aims to solve its health-insurance practices.69. What will Wal-Mart probably do in the future?A. Reduce air pollution in its present stores.B. Give favorable treatment to its consumers.C. Ask the factories to reduce their packaging.D. Demand the fleet of trucks to use more fuel than70. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Provide the background of the green plan.B. Stress the purpose of Wal-Mart’s green plan.C. Present the risk that Wal-Mart is facing nowadays.D. Analyze the similarity题三:书面表达You are discussing the following picture with your English friend Jim. Now you are telling him how you understand the picture and what makes you think so.参考词汇:flute笛子高考英语二轮复习综合验收精讲(二)讲义参考答案题一:63. C 64. B 65. A 66. B题二:67. C 68. A 69. A 70. B题三:In my opinion, this picture is calling on us to stop unnecessary teamwork. As you can see in the picture, two men are cooperating to play the flute, with one holding the instrument and the other blowing into it. At first glance, it seems like a perfect example of cooperation. But, is thiskind of team work necessary? As we all know, a flute is designed to be played by one person only. To successfully produce beautiful music from a flute, there is a need for the cooperation between the musician’s hands and mouth, but definitely not bet ween two people.Unfortunately, examples like this are not rare in our life. For example, nowadays kids are frequently asked to work in groups. Even in subjects like math and creative writing, which depend on solo flights of thought, kids are often expected to act as committee members. I do think teamwork is something we should value. However, we shouldn’t overuse teamwork. There is no point in playing the flute as the men do in the picture. Let’s work independently when necessary.。

完形填空经典精讲(下)主讲老师:李俊和北京四中英语教研组长开篇语考试趋势的分析完形填空这个题型让很多高三的同学感到头疼。
它的分值高(考试中常占30分),难度最大,同学在考试中得分率普遍较低。
完形填空主要测试同学综合使用语言的力气。
它可以考查出同学阅读理解的力气如何,也可以看出他们写作技能的凹凸。
同时又能鉴定出在确定语境下考生对词汇和惯用法的把握状况。
当然,由于做完形填空经常要借助上下文的内容进行推理推断,完形填空也是对思维力气的考核。
解完形填空题需要具备的几种力气1、英语语法和词汇学问扎实牢固2、较强的阅读理解力气解题时,考生必需首先通读短文,大致了解短文主旨、大事发生的线索或所说明事物的基本状况等,进而领悟短文的语言基调,如客观、幽默等,以及作者意图、态度等。
应当能在缺了若干词的状况下仍能把文章读懂。
3、规律推理力气由于完形填空题型的特殊性,即“残缺”的短文,在解题时,要在理解短文基础上,依据短文的已知内容去推断未知内容,并能把握句子间的内在关系,上下文的联系,短文的结构、层次,前后毁灭的提示语、词等。
因此,要会观看,分析,推理,推断和想象。
4、会机敏运用各项学问完形填空题难在英语学问的运用,既涉及到语法、词汇等基础学问,又涉及到英语语境、习俗、文化背景等综合学问的具体应用。
那么在解题中分析句子结构、辨析选项用法、结合文意语境、了解固定搭配等等的综合运用,精确推断文章的主题就是解题的关键。
具体问题具体分析,不能照一个固定的模式去解题。
5、英语思维和鉴赏力气每门语言都有特定的表达形式,文化背景等,英语也不例外。
具备确定的英语思维鉴赏力气就能依据英语语言特点,更好地区分“最佳”与“合适”选项,避开母语的干扰,误选较生硬的“合适”选项。
重点与难点:重点是阅读理解和综合运用各项学问的力气,难点是英语思维和逆向思维力气。
完形填空的主要特点1、四项2、情节,叙议结合3、250词和9-10个4、首句尾句5、单个词6、不靠语法7、7643实词8、80个选项9、加汉语1-210、后线索11、地面信息12、最佳完形填空的解题方法1、粗读全文2、首句3、尾句4、第一遍三分之一5、42-506、原文信息7、连词8、动词名词搭配9、同义词10、构词法11、单句合理、全文也合理动词与名词的搭配make the bed, raise the pay,lay the table, eat the soup,blow his nose, develop one’s ability,play a role, play a trick,make the way, beat time,meet the need, take the step,open an account, run the factory,adopt the plan, follow the advice.名词辨析1. clothes cloth clothing dress uniform suit2. incident accident3. arms weapon4. number amount5. family house home6. chick chicken7. talk speech lecture report8.cause reason9.pence pennies10.change changes11. subject course12. crowd group13. exercise practice动词辨析1. raise rise lift2. wear put on dress3. receive accept4. bring take fetch carry5. spend pay cost take6. lend borrow7. lie lay8. speak say tell talk9. rob steal cheat。
题一:高考英语二轮复习综合验收精讲(上)题而To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to 41 the attention and interest of your students: you must be a 42 speaker, with a good, strong, 43 voice which is fully under your control: and you must be able to 44 what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear. 45 a good teacher and you will see that he does not sit still46 his class: he stands the whole time when he is teaching; he walks about, using his 47 , hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him,48 the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always 49 and you willaccording to what he is 50 about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't 51 that he will indeed be able to act 52 on the stage, for there are very important 53 between the teacher^s work and the actor^s・ The actor has to speak words which he has leamt by heart and he has to repeat exactly the 54 words each time he plays a certain part; 55 his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually 56 beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 57 on the stage.A good teacher 58 in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his 59: they ask and answer questions; they obey orders; and if they don^t understand something, they will say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students・ He cannot learn his part by heart, but must 60 it as he goes along・41. A. pay B. hold C. give D. know42.

Fashion is a beautiful industry. But agai nst my expectation, it also has lots of ordinary work. Every day, I would do sample testing, prepare the brochure for future launches, and meet with customers and visitors・Japanese companies had a traditional work style. We had a meeting every morning at 9 o'clock. Every Monday, all employees, including those in other parts of Japan, would take part in a conference call. Every afternoon, after finishing work, each of us would say goodbye to every manager in the company, which took more than five minutes.All of this kept me fresh・ And the strict work atmosphere caused me to work harder. At the end of last August, the company's 2007 Spring/Summer collections started with a big show and wasvery successful. Lots of customers showed an interest in our products, including a businessman from Hong Kong・He went to our company for more details on the products, but he couldn^t speak Japanese and none of the staff spoke good English・Just when the situation seemed helpless, I offered to give it a try. I was a Japanese major, but I had also practiced my English often.

AThe Donkey Mobile LibraryIt is a bright morning in the Ethiopian countryside.Yohannes walks beside a pair of donkeys that are pullinga two-wheeled cart. They arrive at the agricultural townof Awassa where Yohannes opens the sides of the cart todisplay, not the usual vegetables or tools, but children’sbooks. This is the Donkey Mobile Library, the first of its kind in Ethiopia and one of only a few in the world.Yohannes was born in Ethiopia, North Africa, but trained to be a librarian in the USA and returned to Ethiopia years ago. The cart is full of picture books donated by American libraries, teachers and school children.Yohannes arranges small painted benches in the shade of the trees, and suddenly Ethiopian children come shouting and racing down every road and path. It’s mobile library day! They circle the bookshelves with great excitement. Until the Donkey Mobile Library began its regular two-monthly visits, many of these children had never seen a book.“Without books, education is very dull, like food without salt. You can survive but you can’t really come alive,” says Yohannes. “The ability to read is the basis for greater productivity, better health and longer life. Even though the children lack material goods, with books they can imagine a world of possibilities.”Yohannes first worked in the childr en’s section of the main library in America. Surrounded by books he had never seen before, he realized how joyful and imaginative children’s literature is. He says,“I always thought of Ethiopia. But how could I bring children’s books to my home country when it had almost no libraries to keep the books in?”He contacted Jane Kurtz, a writer born in America but brought up in Ethiopia, and together they created the Donkey Mobile Library. The children say that the Library has given them ideas about what they might do in the future. A child called Dareje wants to be a scientist and find a cure for life-threatening diseases. An eleven year-old girl, Fikerte, wants to do research about the moon and discover new facts about outer space. Tamrat, aged 10, comes every time.“What brings you back here time and time again?” the librarian asks him.“The stories,” Tamrat replies instantly.How do the children feel when they see the Donkey Mobile Library?A. Curious.B. Surprised.C. Interested.D. Excited.57. We can conclude from the passage that .A. Ethiopian children have no idea about their futureB. Yohannes and Kurtz share similar life experiencesC. donkey carts in Awassa usually carry vegetables and toolsD. most books in the Donkey Mobile Library were bought in America58. According to the passage, the Donkey Mobile Library .A. visits the countryside every dayB. benefits Ethiopian children a lotC. was created by Yohannes himselfD. was the first of its kind in the world59. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?A. A news report.B. A book review.C. A historical story.D. An advertisement.BDear Mr. Watson,CLAIM AL54323432–-STORM DAMAGE TO ROOFI received a cheque for $623 dated 26 January in payment of my recent claim. However, I wish to tell you how upset I have been by the way your Claims Assessor, Mr. Michael Tan, handled this claim.When Mr. Tan first called me, he specifically told me that he believed I had been overcharged, and he would expect to pay that price for work on a double garage, rather than a single garage like mine. Mr. Tan suggested that I neither use nor recommend this contractor again. He continued to tell me it was unlikely for me to receive full payment. Never during this conversation did he mention that the reason for not receiving full payment was because of the nature of my insurance policy. Consequently, I wrote to Mr. Lance Ashe to complain about his pricing, stating that I was very upset thinking that he could have taken advantage by overcharging a 73-year-old woman. Mr. Ashe telephoned me immediately and explained his charges in detail. He later reported back to me that Mr. Tan explained that I would not receive full payment because of the type of policy I hold, which does not cover wear and tear. This was the first time this issue had been brought to my attention, so you can imagine my surprise.When I received Mr. Tan’s letter of 2 February, this situation was explained. If this had been explained in the first place I would have accepted it and would not have questioned Mr. Ashe’s charges. Instead, by telling me initially that I had been overcharged for this work, he caused a great deal of upset, not only for me but also for Mr. Ashe.I believed this claim was handled badly by Mr. Tan from the beginning. Therefore,a great deal of embarrassment has been caused over this issue.I felt you should know how disappointed and upset I am. I trust you will look into this and ensure that such claims are handled more appropriately in the future. Yours sincerely, Mrs.Richard60. The author writes this letter to ______.A. complain about a mishandled caseB. inform the manager of a paymentC. demand an apology from Mr. WatsonD. require the manager to fire Mr. Tan61. The underlined words “the contractor” in Para.2 refer to ______.A. Mr. TanB. Mrs. RichardC. Mr. WatsonD. Mr. Ashe62. The author could not receive full payment because _______.A. her policy doesn’t cover some of the itemsB. the contractor overcharged her for the workC. Mr. Watson doesn’t take the matter seriouslyD. she spent too much money fixing her garage63. We can learn from the passage that Mr. Tan works in a/an _______.A. welfare organizationB. nursing houseC. insurance companyD. local affairs officeCMany people think that communication is the source of most of their work-related conflicts, but they’d be wrong. In a work context, more conflicts come from structural relationships and personal differences than communication itself. Organizations create job descriptions, specialized work groups, and authority relationships, all with the intent to improve coordination(协调). But in doing so, they separate people and create the potential for conflicts. For instance, departments within organizations have diverse goals. Purchasing is concerned with the timely acquisition of materials and supplies at low prices; quality control’s attention is focused on improving quality and ensuring that the organization’s products meet standard…When groups within an organization seek diverse ends, there is increased potential for conflicts.Have you ever met people to whom you took an immediate disliking? Most of the opinions they expressed, you disagreed with. Even insignificant characteristics---the way they cocked their head when they talked or smirked when they smiled---annoyed you. We’ve all met people like that, and many of us have to work with people like this. Today’s organizations are increasingly diverse in terms of age, gender and race. So, not surprisingly, employees differ on the importance they place on general values such as responsibility, equality and ambition. They also differ on job-related values such as the importance of family over work or freedom against authority. These differences often surface in work-related interactions and create significant interpersonal conflicts.The above doesn’t mean that communication can’t be a source of conflicts. It can. Differing word connotations, insufficient exchange of information, poor listening skills, and the like, create conflicts. But the belief that “we can deal with our differences if we just communicate more” is not necessarily true. The evidence actually shows that the potential for conflicts increases when there is too much communication as well as when there’s too little.So when you’re trying to manage conflicts, take a thoughtful look at their source. It’s more likely that the conflict is coming from work-related requirements,personality differences, or dissimilar values, it is from poor communication. And that might influence the actions you take to resolve the conflict.64. From Para.2, we know that in an organization, .A. job descriptions can effectively improve cooperationB. different goals of branches may cause disagreementsC. division of labor usually results in harmonious relationshipD. the setting of different departments is to encourage competition65. The writer holds that .A. fewer conflicts will appear if we communicate moreB. most people share similar values in the same organizationC. communication is just one of the reasons for most conflictsD. we ’d better calm down before taking action when in conflic66. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A. B.CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: ConclusionDText messaging is a surprisingly good way toreceive candid responses to sensitive questions, according to a new study to be presented this week at the annual meeting of the American Association for Public Opinion Research. “The preliminary(初步的)results of our study suggest that people are more likely to disclose sensitive information via text messages than in voice interviews,” says Fred Conrad, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research.“This is sort of surprising,” says Conrad, “since many people thought that CPSp 2 Sp 1 P 2P 3 CP 1texting would decrease the likelihood of disclosing sensitive information because it creates a persistent, visual record of questions and answers that others might see on your phone and in the cloud.”With text, the researchers also found that people were less likely to engage in “satisficing”--- a survey industry term referring to the common practice of giving good enough, easy answers. “We believe people give more precise answers via texting because there’s just not the time pressure in a largely asynchronous(非同步的)mode like text that there is in phone interviews, ” says Conrad. “As a result, respondents are able to take longer to arrive at more accurate answers.”Conrad conducted the study with Michael Schober, a professor of psychology at the New School for Social Res earch. “We’re in the early stages of analyzing our findings,” says Schober. “But so far it seems that texting may reduce some respondents’ tendency to shade the truth or to present themselves in the best possible light in an interview, even when they know it’s a human interviewer they are communicating with via text. What we cannot yet be sure of is who is most likely to be disclosive in text. Is it different for frequent texters, or generational, for example? ”For the study, the researchers recruited approximately 600 iPhone-users through Google Ads, offering them iTunes Store rewards to participate in the study. Their goals were to see whether responses to the same questions differed depending on several variables:whether the questions were asked via text or voice, whether a human or a computer asked the questions, and whether the environment, including the presence of other people and the likelihood of multitasking, affected the answers.67. The underlined word “candid” in Para.1 probably means__________.A. straightforwardB. appropriateC. ambiguousD. objective68. We can learn from the passage that__________.A. people fond of text messaging are more honestB. texting will give away less sensitive informationC. different variables might affect the responses of messagingD. about 600 iPhone users have been awarded iTunes by researchers69. Compared with phone interviews, texting has the strength that people could__________.A. present their best to the interviewersB. have more time to make a replyC. pay less for sending a messageD. enjoy more freedom of speech70. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Texting Downs ResponsesB. Texting Exposes IdentityC. Texting Benefits IntervieweesD. Texting Ups Truthfulness第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
