高考题型提能练十九 Unit 19 LanguageⅠ.阅读理解AI sat with a friend a few weeks ago as she scrolled through photos of her college freshman daughter on her phone. She asked me, “Doesn't she look happy? She looks OK, right?〞 Her daughter had recently had a difficult time, which was now over, but her mother —like all mothers would —still worried, sometimes, that something might be wrong.For generations of parents, sending children off to college meant knowing little to nothing about how their children were doing. Other than the occasional letter or call from a dorm room phone, children who had left home were mostly unseen and heard from infrequently. College kids could get into all kinds of trouble and their parents would know nothing about it until Christmas vacation or summer break.Now, of course, that's not at all how it is. Parents of college students can spend hour upon hour examining photos on Instagram or Facebook of their children. They look for hints of sadness in their eyes, the way their clothes fit, whether they're really smiling or just sort of smiling.However, I don't think it's necessary. College is a time of intense personal growth. Pain is a necessary lesson for the emotional leap from childhood to adulthood. Mothers shouldn't be able to see photos in real time that capture their children when they're at their worst — whether because of too much alcohol or too little happiness.The blessing of social media is the ability to connect at any time with your child, no matter where he or she may be in the world. Facebook, Instagram and the rest are keeping our helicopters flying long after they should have landed. Maybe it would be better for all of us to be a little less aware of the state of our children's lives once they leave home. Better for the children, and certainly betterfor the parents.1.That friend scrolled through photos on her phone most probably because she ________.A.was bored and wanted to kill the timeB.wanted to make sure her daughter was alrightC.wanted to help her daughter through the difficultyD.was sure something was wrong with her daughter2.What does Paragraph 2 tell us about parents of college students in the past?A.They were often worried about their children.B.They usually let their children do whatever they liked.C.They were usually too busy to care about their children.D.They lacked means of knowing about their children's situation.3.What does the writer think of children's experiencing pain at college?A.It is helpless.B.It is necessary.C.It is nonsense.D.It should be prevented.4.The passage is written to show that ________.A.children don't really have freedom at collegeB.social media make our life much easier than beforeC.today's parents contact their children more frequentlyD.parents shouldn't follow their children at college through social mediaBPeople in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver. Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida, Nevada and California. They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road.The high tech company Google has a number of selfdriving cars, which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August. Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020.In September, California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state. “Today we're looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality —the driverless car.〞 The technology for these cars includes cameras, radar and motion sensors. The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U. S. government agency DARPA. Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races.Cars have become much more fuelefficient, and new electronic features are making Hondas safer, said Angie Nucci of Honda America. “A camera on the passengerside mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes.〞 Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars. These systems help drivers, but don't replace them. Curator Leslie Kendall of the PetersenAutomotiveMuseum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer.“By taking out drivers, you also remove most risks of an accident,〞 Kendall said. He said, “Consumers, however, may be unwilling to lose control. It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable, but it will have to prove itself first.〞Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable. He said this will happen as the technology is improved.5.According to the passage, California Governor Jerry Brown ________.A.is for the idea of having driverless carsB.sponsored the DARPA competition to improve the driverless systemC.has already bought a new autonomous carD.thinks that driving safety is the most important issue in his state6.What is the role of the systems mentioned in Paragraph 3?A.They can help cars run much faster.B.They can take the place of drivers now.C.They can make cars run without fuel.D.They can help people drive more safely.7.In Kendall's opinion, who probably don't rely on the driverless cars at first?A.Managers in the high tech company Google.B.Officers from the U. S. government agency DARPA.C.Car consumers.D.Vehicle designers.8.According to Richard Mason, what is the biggest challenge for driverless cars?A.They need to have more comfortable seats.B.They are now too expensive for consumers.C.They are travelling at a low speed.D.They are not favored by car racers.COne afternoon last week, I saw three tearful children from my son's school being comforted by te achers.That morning, my 11yearold son had stomach pains, retching (干呕) into a bowl.Talking to other mothers later, I heard about other children with stomachache or difficulty sleeping the night before.What caused so much pain?Sports day.Sports day might be necessary at a highlycompetitive independent school, but not at a village primary school.For the children who can fly like the wind, sports day causes no problem.For those who areoverweight or just not good at sport, it is a nightmare (噩梦).Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents, it can prove a disaster.Why do we put our children through this annual suffering?Some may say competition is character building; or it's taking part, not winning, that's important;or that it is a tradition of school life.I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm, lots of shouting — and were fun to watch.More importantly, the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyone's eyes.Some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side.I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other l esscompetitive event.Perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch.9.What can we learn about the author's son from Paragraph 1?A.He talked with some mothers.B.He comforted his classmates.C.He had difficulty in sleeping.D.He suffered from stomachache.10.Sports day is still an annual event in this school probably because________.A.this is an independent schoolB.it is a tradition of the schoolC.it helps children lose weightD.children enjoy watching sports11.What does the author think about team games?A.They should include more stressful races.B.They are acceptable to different children.C.They should be abandoned at primary schools.D.They are less fun for those who love running.12.What is the author's attitude towards sports day?A.Critical.B.Neutral.C.Positive.D.Ambiguous.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(2016·江西省吉安市模拟)1.________ You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how:Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. 2.________ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class. 3.________ Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly.

The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't be over worried.5.________ You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.A.There are other methods that might help you with your studying.B.Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.C.Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.D.No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.E.Maybe you are an average student.F.Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.G.This will help you understand the next class.Ⅲ.语法填空(2016·太原市第二学段测评)When I was ten years old, I broke my arm.

AI had offered to watch my 3-year-old daughter, Ramanda, so that my wife could go out with a friend. I was getting some work while Ramanda appeared to be having a good time in the other room. No problem, I figured. But then it got a little too quiet and I yelled out, “What are you doing? Ramanda” No response. I repeated my question and heard her say, “Oh, nothing?” Nothing? What does “nothing” mean?I got up from my desk and ran out into the living room, and then I saw her take off down the hall. I chased her up the stairs and watched her a little behind made a hard left into the bedroom. I was gaining on her! She took off for the bathroom. Bad move. I had her cornered. I told her to turn around. She refused. I pulled out my big, mean, authoritative(命令式的)Daddy voice, “Young lady, I said turn around!”Slowly, she turned toward me. In her hand was what was left of my wife’s new lipstick. And every square inch of her face was covered with right red (expect her lips of course)!As she looked up at me with fearful eyes, lips trembling, I heard every voice that had been shouted to me as a child. “How could you… you should know better than that… How many times have you been told…What a bad thing to do…”It was just a matter of my picking out which old message I was going to use on her so that she would know what a bad girl she had been. But before I could let loose, looked down at the sweatshirt my wife had put on her only an hour before. In big letters it said “I’M A PERFECT ANGEL!” I looked back up into her tearful eyes and instead to seeing a bad girl who didn’t listen, I saw a child of God …a perfect little angel full of worth, value and a wonderful spontaneity(自发行为)that I had come dangerously close t shaming out of her.“Sweetheart, you look beautiful! Let’s take a picture so Mommy can see how special you look.” I took the picture and thanked God that I didn’t miss the opportunity to reaffirm(再肯定)what a perfect little angel he had given me.21. When the author found the house was abnormally quite, ______.A. he went on with his workB. he went to check on his daughterC. he called his daughter to come overD. he knew his daughter must be behaving well22. When he saw his daughter’s face, the author _______.A. thought she was so beautiful and lovely a girlB. no longer saw her as an angelC. flew into an uncomfortable disappointmentD. remembered the words he was scolded with23. What does the underlined senten ce “I had her cornered” mean?A. She had been in the corner of the roomB. She had screamed out of fearC. I had forced her into a position from which she couldn’t escapeD. She had escaped from one corner to anotherBYou may be familiar with the following famous people, but have you heard of their graduation speeches, in which they either share their unforgotten experiences or give you some great inspiration(启迪).●Michael Dell, University of Texas at AustinAnd now you've accomplished something great and important here, and it's time for you to move on to what's next. And you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps. ... You must also commit to the adventure. Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you've been blessed (赐予)with and go.●J.K. Rowling, Harvard UniversityHalf my lifetime ago ,I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents whowere not rich...But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty(贫穷), but failure. The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure, you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.●Steve Jobs, Stanford UniversitySometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith...Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle.●Bill Gates, Harvard UniversityWe need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. They are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities ,smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches and deal with the world's inequities(不公平)like hunger, poverty, and so on.24. What Michael Dell said is to urge us to .A. listen to our heartB. pursue our dreamsC. follow others' exampleD. learn from our mistakes25. What did J.K. Rowling fear most when she was studying in university?A. Poverty.B. Hunger.C. Failure.D. Appearance.26. Who wants to express "Keep looking for what you believe in"?A. Michael Dell.B. J.K. Rowling.C. Bill Gates.D. Steve Jobs.27. What does Bill Gates suggest people do?A. Make contributions to the environment.B. Take responsibility for their own behavior.C. Make joint efforts to rid some global problems.D. Master as much advanced technology as possible.CMove over millennials(千禧一代), here comes Generation Z, today’s youngest group.Born in 1995 or later, a lot of Gen Z-ers are entering into adulthood and will soon join the workforce. People of Generation Z have grown up with the internet. Policy makers, sociologists, as well as employers and marketers, are trying their best to understand these young people. So, how should we pin down the Gen Z-ers?Most people will agree that the single biggest difference between Gen Z and other generations is how connected they are. This is a group of people who were hooked up to social media as soon as they were born. A recent Guardian article says that the average teenager in the UK has at least 150 followers on Instagram and spends around half an hour a day on Snapchat, an image messaging app. “We are the first true digital natives,” Hannah Payne, an 18-year-old UCLA student and lifestyle blogger. “I can almost create a document, edit it, post a photo on Instagram and talk on the phone at the same time, all from theuser-friendly interface(界面) of my iPhone.The Guardian also notes that young people in the UK are becoming more active in politics. Voting is just one way of making one’s voice heard. Most of Generation Z are stil l too young to vote, says the Guardian. Instead of party politics, they focus more on single-topic issues such as feminism(男女平等)or climate change. And “much of the civil engagement and organizing they do takes place on social media rather than through traditional political structures,” according to the newspaper.28. The underlined phrase “pin down” in the second paragraph can be replaced by ______.A. set an example toB. have an interest inC. give an explanation forD. make a decision on29. The biggest difference between Generation Z and other generations lies in _________.A. how linked they areB. how enthusiastic they areC. how they communicate with each otherD. how many hours they spend on the Internet30. What do Instagram and Snapchat have in common?A. They are newly-created cellphonesB. They are popular among millennialsC. They are online games invented by teenagersD. They are applications applauded by teenagers31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Generation Z have great interest in politicsB. Most Gen Z-ers haven’t entered the political fieldC. Voting is the only way of making yourself noticedD. Voting on social media is the same as voting through traditional waysDThere are plenty of beauty schools throughout the country that can help you to start a career in cosmetology(美容业). Nowadays, young people may not be able to afford a four-year college. Students can look forward to attending a beauty school program which will only take a few months to complete and start their career right away to earn money.There can be many benefits of going to beauty school. The expense is much less than attending a four-year university. Besides, attending beauty school is mostly a hands-on(动手的) experience which appeals to many people. Some students don’t like sitting all day listening to lectures and then having to study at night. What’s more, most beauty school programs keep up with the changing trends and fashion. So you will always be working on different hair types which can be fun and will give you a lot of experience throughout the years of your career.If you are worried about finding a job after graduation, many beauty schools will offer assistance for immediate job placement and give you peace of mind that you will not be stranded looking for a job. Most colleges and universities are not equipped to do that because of the large number of graduates each year.Cosmetologists will also make a good salary. The average salary will depend on your location, but you may earn a salary around $3,000--$3,500 a month. This is not including tips which could be $600 or more a month. Not only can young people go to cosmetology school, but people of all ages can start this career. As you can see, there are many benefits of beauty schools thatcan be the perfect opportunity for anyone to become a great cosmetologist.32. Some students prefer not to go to college probably because .A. they are interested in beauty schoolB. they don’t have enough moneyC. they are not young any longerD. they are too busy doing something useful33. How many advantages does the second paragraph introduce to us?A. FiveB. TwoC. ThreeD. Six34. We can learn from the third paragraph that .A. beauty school can help find a jobB. many people don’t go to universityC. lots of students compete for beauty schoolsD. going to college costs a large amount of money35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. The types of school for childrenB. The benefits of beauty schoolsC. The advantages of going to collegeD. Going to college or beauty school第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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。

高考英语一轮复习课时提升作业:十九选修7 Unit 19 LanguageⅠ. 阅读理解A(2021·成都模拟) WASHINGTON—Thousands of public schools stopped teaching foreign languages in the last decade, according to a survey. But another contrary trend has educators and policy makers abuzz: a rush by schools in all parts of America to offer instructions in Chinese.Some schools are paying for Chinese classes on their own, but hundreds are getting some help. The Chinese government is sending teachers from China to schools all over the world—and paying part of their salaries.No one keeps an exact count, but rough calculations based on the government’s survey suggest that perhaps 1, 600 American public and private schools are teaching Chinese, up from 300 or so a decade ago. And the number is growing exponentially(成倍地).“It’s really changing the language education landscape of this country, ” said Nancy C. Rhodes, director at the center. Other indicators point to the same trend. “The number of students taking the Advanced Placement test in Chi nese, introduced in 2007, has grown so fast that it is likely to pass German this year as the third most-tested A. P. language, after Spanish and French, ”said Trevor Packer, vice president at the College Board.“We’ve all been surprised that in such a short time Chinese would grow to surpass A. P. German, ” Mr Packer said.A decade ago, most of the schools with Chinese programs were on the East and West Coasts. But in recent years, many schools have started Chinese programs in heartland states, including Ohio and Illinois in the Midwest, Texas and Georgia in the South, and Colorado and Utah in the Rocky Mountain West.America has had the study of a foreign language grow before, only to see the bubble burst. Many schools began teaching Japanese in the 1980s, after Japan emerged as an economic rival. But thousands have dropped the language, the survey found. Japanese is not the only language that has declined. Thousands of schools that offered French, German or Russian have stopped teaching those languages, too, the survey found. 【文章大意】中国随着经济的发展, 在世界上的地位日益重要, 全美国掀起了学汉语热潮。

I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but my mother fought strongly against it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up."You can't say it's not a great university, just because Papa went there." "That's not it at all. And it is a top university." She was still holding the pieces in her hand. "But we can't afford to send you to college.""I wouldn't dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things aren't that bad, are they?""No," she said. "I don't expect you to help support us."Father borrowed money form his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop. His chief customers were his old college friends. To get new customers, my mother had to help. She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could show returns. What's more, they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful; otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly.I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives, and the determination not to repeat their mistakes. I had a strong belief in my power to go what I wanted. After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship (奖学金). My father could hardly contain his pride in me, and my mother eventually gave in before my success.56. The author was not allowed to go to Cornell University mainly because________.A. his father graduated from the universityB. his mother did not thinks it a great universityC. his parents needed him to help support the familyD. his parents did not have enough money for him57.

To help with her husband's businessB. To raise money for hersonC. To meet her long-forgotten friendsD. To better manage herlife59. According to the text, what was the author determined to do in that autumn?A. To get a well-paid job for himselfB. To improve relations withhis motherC. To carry on with his father's businessD. To go to his dreamuniversityBThere are different ways in which people try to deal with the problem of energy. One way is the greater production of common energy sources(能源), such as coal, oil and gas. The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable.Another way is energy conservation(节能), which means using energy more efficiently(有效地). In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the worldthe temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometre down. At six kilometres, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped(压;抽)down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.60 How many ways of dealing with the energy problem are discussed in the text?A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five.61.The writer tells about the "special houses" because they __________A serve as an example of energy conservationB. show the excellent skills of the buildersC. are heated by different sources of energyD. are warmer than other types of houses62.The underlined words “geothermal energy” in the third paragraph mean________A. renewable sourceB. underground sourceC. heat inside the earthD. temperature of the earth63. At a place where the surfac e temperature is 15℃, how deep do you have to dig so as to get a temperature of 75℃?A. One km.B. Two km.C. Three km.D. Four km.CHere is some information about several famous local bakeries(面包烤房) in Indiana, the US. They serve as a social gathering place for locals.Maple Lane BakeryAt 8260 S. State Rd. Claypool, IN.

Everybody wants to find out if December 21, 2012 is the last day of the earth. The rumor has already been spreading for a very long time. The Mayan’s prediction can account for the rumor. According to the rumor, the earth will experience dramatic changes in 2012 and the changes will be disastrous to all of the living creatures on earth. It is widely assumed that a Planet X will return to orbit the solar system. The return of Planet X will have a destructive effect on the solar system as well as on some planets including the Neptune, the Jupiter and the earth. Planet X will cross into their orbits. There’s a possibility that Jupiter will change into a little sun at this time, so folks will be well placed to see two suns in the sky in 2012.The solar flares (耀斑) that occur in a 11-year cycle will reach their highest point in 2012. The powerful solar flares will affect the magnetic field of the earth and cause disasters. On December 21, 2012, the sun and the earth will line up in the same line at the equator(赤道). The winter solstice(冬至) only occurs once every 25,800 years. The events in the universe are signals that the world will come to an end. As a result of the solar flares, lots of disasters will happen that will destroy the face of the whole earth. Scientists are making the guess primarily based on the Mayan Long Count Calendar.Many films have been made about the end of the world including End Game by Alex Jones and End Clock: Nostradamus 2012. The former provides insights about the way the world will become one state. After the world government is in place, it’s going to be easy to exterminate 80% of the people in the world. The rest will continue to live with assistance from advanced technology.No one knows whether the world will end on December 21, 2012: There is no clear answer until the day arrives. Just as the Mayans claim, it will not be the time for the world to end. Instead, it will be the dawn of a fresh start.68. What is the passage mainly about?A.
