2019届高考英语二轮考点解析卷（三）1、English Language Day is celebrated each year on April 23, the date when William Shakespeare, the greatest writer in the English language, was born.Many people consider English as the unofficial “world language” because it is so widely used. English is the main language of business across the world. It is the most widely used language on the Internet and social media.The first English Language Day was the result of work by the United Nations. A few years ago,the U.N.'s Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (the UNESCO) created Language Days for each of the U.N. 's six official languages. The aim was to celebrate the use of different languages around the world and in different cultures. Another goal was to campaign for equal use of all six official languages throughout the United Nations. The other five languages are Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish.

But eight months ago our car was hit bya passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that,with the loan (贷款) we’d need plus petrol, insura nce, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.) My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something muc h more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.1.The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.A.most families chose to go car-freeB.he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC.the cost of a new car was too muchD.the traffic jam was unbearable for him2.What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?A.Supportive.B.Disapproving.C.Optimistic.D.Unconcerned.3.What did the author suggest his daughter s do about their friends’ opinion?A.Argue against it.B.Take their advice.C.Think it over.D.Leave it alone.4.What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A.Life cannot go without a car.B.Life without a car is a little bit hard.C.His life gets improved without a car.D.A car-free life does not suit everyone.4、On a cool morning, Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southernKenya. His calmness makes it easy to forget that he’s tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world. Kasaine is tracking lions—especially one lion called Marti, who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born into a traditional Maasai family he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife. Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the pawprints (爪印)of a lion from those of other animals.Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise meetings with dangerous animals. For many Maasai, tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection. But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect them. He leads a small group ofwide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path, searching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.Each year, thousands of tourists crow dKenya’s national parks to try to have a look at the "big five”; elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes and lions. The international draw of these animals matters a lot because the nation’s economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife.If Kenya’s wildlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively(专门地)for animals. But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave theirland and into smaller surrounding areas, They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.1.How did Kasaine track lions?A.By working together with tourists.B.By running after them all the time.C.By going to school every day.D.By studying their paw prints.2.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Maasai people are born animal lovers.B.Tourism is a big threat toKenya’s wildlife.C.Kenya benefits a lot from its wildlife protection.D.Small animals are not included in their protection policy.3.What does the underlined word "it” in the last paragraph refer to?A.Kenya’s economic development.B.Kenyan people’s traditional Maasai lifestyle.C.Kenya’s second-largest income source.D.People’s leaving their original homes.4.What is the best title for the text?A.Wildlife protection inKenyaB.Meeting a dangerous animalC.Wilson Kasaine’s wise choiceD.Learning to live with lions5、Abzu is a word from the oldest Sumerian(苏美尔人的) stories,coming from the words “ab(ocean)” and “zu(to know)”,Giant Squids a company of the US, has named its newly developed video game ABZU. ①__________In ABZU. players explore the ocean—a space that can be both strange and familiar at times. As the nameless divers, players explore the seas and see underwater life,②__________Players can press buttons to dive and travel around the seas. They can swim with fish. They can touch pools and awaken creatures such as sea turtles. Players can awaken more wildlife and make the waters richer with life.As they adventure through the ocean, players will discover more. ③__________The developers used real fish and sea life and made some of the animals' real-life behaviors in the game. If players are sitting above these shark statues,they’ll see this circle of life as one fish eats another. ④__________It is like watching a Discovery Channel nature show.Further into the game,players will discover broken underwater robots,and these robots will open the path for the divers. The developers let the environment tell the background story and players find out the other secrets themselves. ⑤__________Many have played ABZU so far. They think although the game is a short adventure,it holds the promise of being something more.A. They'll see shark statues.B. You need to pay for the game skills at first.C. They'll see cleaner fish feeding around a shark's mouth.D. At first, the game seems aimless as players wander the seas.E. It can be played on Windows PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.F. Underwater games are always welcomed by many young people in the US.G. Gradually, they'll find underwater temples that hold the key to the main story.6、阅读下面的短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

姓名，年级：时间：2019届高考英语二轮考点解析卷(八)1、 Kong Zi, also called Confucius(551 -479 B。

C. )， and Socrates(469-399 B.C。

）lived only a hundred years apart. During their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas， and how these ideas in turn， shaped their societies。

Neither philosopher lived in times of peaces though there were more wars in Greece than in China。

The Chinese states were very large and feudal， while the Greek city—states were small and urban。

The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进的） than Confucius. Unlike Confucius， Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively。

Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius， on the other hand, advised those in government service， and many of his students went on to government service。

2019届高考英语二轮考点解析卷（二）1、The Nazca Lines are a series of large ancient geoglyphs (地画) in the Nazca Desert, in southern Peru. It is ranging from geometric patterns to drawings of different animals and stylized human-like forms. The ancient lines can only be truly taken in from high in the air, leaving generations puzzled as to how these precise works could have been completed long before the documented invention of human flight.The Lines were first spotted when commercial airlines began flying across the Peruvian desert in the 1920s. Who built them and what was their purpose? Are they roads, star pointers,maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan? These markings are like a vast puzzle.The Nazca Lines are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs in the world. There are also huge geoglyphs in Egypt, Malta, United States (Mississippi and California), Chile, Holivia and in other countries. But the Nazca geoglyphs, because of their numbers, characteristics, dimensions and cultural continuity as they were made and remade throughout a certain history period, form the most impressive archeological (考古学的) group.The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the combination of the climate (one of the driest on Earth, with only twenty minutes of rainfall per year) and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level. With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode (腐蚀) it, lines drawn here tend to stay drawn. These factors, combined with the existence of lighter-colored subsoil beneath the desert surface, provide a vast writing pad that is suited to the artist who wants to leave his mark eternal.1.What can we know about the Nazca Lines from the first two paragraphs?A.They were built as a big map.B.They were formed by nature.C.They are ancient lines in caves.D.They are huge markings in a desert.2.How many factors make the Nazca Lines the most impressive?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.3.Why are the Nazca Lines well preserved?A.Because of the wind at ground level.B.Because of the existence of soft soil.C.Because of the climate and geography.D.Because of the thick sand on the top.4.What does the underlined word “eternal” probably mean?A.Non-stop.B.Ever-lasting.C.Real-life.D.High-end.2、Camp All-StarOne of a Kind Summer Camps for KidsWelcome to Camp All-Star, your No. 1 summer sports camp for kids!

A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hold just 5.8 percent of CEOs positions at S&P 500 companies, according to Catalyst.While it’s not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions, what is surprising though, is the fact that females may actually be better suited to lead in almost every area, at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School.In their research, Professor Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed (调查) 2,900 managers with a special focus on personality types. The results were clear: Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadership-centric categories.While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders — probably because they picture a leader with a commanding voice, which is more typical of men than women — this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goal-setting, openness, sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to communicate clearly.There was one area in which men scored higher than women, though, and that was on emotional stability and ability to face job-related pressure and stress. The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of high-pressure or highly emotional situations.Obviously, it’s important to consider individual(个人的) differences. Anyone, regardless of gender, may be an inspiring leader and a competent boss. So next time you’re hiring for a mana gement position, you just might want to give the resumes(简历) from female candidates a harder look.1.What makes us shocked much at leadership positions?A.Women are worse than men.B.Men take almost all high positions.C.There is a huge gap between genders.D.Women might behave better in every field.2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word ‘‘inherently” in paragraph 4?A.properlyB.potentiallyC.naturallyD.normally3.Which of the following may be the best title of this text?A.How We Can Figure Out The Boss.B.Why Women Are Better Than MenC.Why Women Make Better BossesD.How We Can Tell Gender Difference4.Who might have special interest in this article?A.Job hunters.B.Employers.C.Employees.D.University students.4、In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example,stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品)later in their trip. In department stores,the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品)section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers' senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.1.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A.To save customers time.B.To show they are high quality foods.C.To help sell junk food.D.To sell them at discount prices.2.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?A.Opening the store early in the morning.B.Displaying British wines next to French ones.C.Inviting customers to play music.D.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.3.What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?A.The house structure is a key factor customers consider.B.The more costly the house is, the better it sells.C.An ocean view is much to the customers' taste.D.A good first impression increases sales.4.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.B.To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.C.To report researches on customer behavior.D.To show dishonest business practices.5、How to Excel in Poetry WritingIf you are serious about your poetry,then you should consider the suggestions presented here.①__________ Many poets have also used these tips to make poetry publishing possible in their life.Write Every Day.

Most teachers 3 just lettheir students speak and stop them 4 they say something completely wrong. Working on each student's pronunciation in class is just 5 . Also, the students who are 6 at pronunciation may be afraid that it will embarrass their classmates if they help 7 their mistakes.If you believe your pronunciation is good enough to 8 because it is good enough for your teacher and other students, you may be 9 when you actually go to a foreign country. One of my friends wasthe best student in his 10 class in Poland. When he went to America, he found Americans didn't understand 11 of what he said.Your pronunciation may still be quite 12 that of a native speaker.

2019届高考英语二轮考点解析卷（五）1、While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings inChina such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts,manyexcellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu,a 49-year-old Chinese architect,wonthe 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize—which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize inarchitecture—on February 28.He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities.Manyvisitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types.The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages.He asked theworkers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls,roofs and corridors.Thiscreation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledgeof traditions.Through such a balance,he had created a new type of Chinese architecture,saidTadao Ando,the winner of the1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums."That is onlyevidence that traditions once existed," he said."Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions.They think tradition meansold things from the past.In fact,tradition also refers to the things that have been developingand that are still being created, " he said."Today,many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather thanfocusing on Chinese traditions.Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowingwhat they really are," said Wang.The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise,the recreation oftraditions would be artificial and empty,he said.1.Wang’s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are ___________.A.following the latest world trendB.getting international recognitionC.working harder than ever beforeD.relying on foreign architects2.What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?A.Its hilly environment.B.Its large size.C.Its unique style.D.Its diverse functions.3.What made Wang’s architectural design a success?A.The mixture of different shapes.B.The balance of East and West.C.The use of popular techniques.D.The harmony of old and new.4.What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?A.Spread them to the world.B.Preserve them at museums.C.Teach them in universities.D.Recreate them in practice.2、Here is a record of the discussion about AI (artificial intelligence) conducted by several scientists:Scientist A: I would say that we are quite a long way off developing the AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thirty or forty years. We will probably remain in control of technology and it will help us solve many of the world’s problems. However, no one really knows what will happen if machines become more intelligent than humans. They may help us, ignore us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influence on our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly up to us.Scientist B: I have to admit that the potential consequences of creating something that can match or go beyond human intelligence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching computers how to learn on their own. At some point in the near future, their intelligence may well take off and develop at an ever-increasing speed. Human beings evolve biologically very slowly and we would be quickly substituted. In the short term, there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This could mean large-scale poverty and social unrest. In the lone term machines might decide the world would be better without humans.Scientist C: I’m a member of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. Forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator stamping on human skulls (头骨) and think of what s happening right now: military machines like drones, gun turrets and sentry robots are already being used to kill with very little human input. The next step will be autonomous “murderbots” following orders but finally deciding who to kill on their own. It seems clear to me that this would be completely unethical and dangerous for humans. We need to be very cautious indeed about what we ask machines to do.1.What is Scientist B worried about?A.AI technology will destroy the earth.B.Robots will take the place of humans.puters can’t think by themselves.D.Humans will be unhappy without machines.2.What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?A.I launched the campaign to Stop Killer Robots.B.We forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator.C.“Murderbots” will be against humans’ orders.D.“Murderbots” can’t decide by themselves.3.Which statement is CORRECT according to the record?A.The employment will be affected by AI technology in the future.B.Scientist A thinks AI technology will never develop.C.“Murderbots” will follow the orders of their manufacturers in the wars.D.All the three scientists agree that AI technology will benefit human beings.4.Who agree(s) AI has more negative aspects than positive aspects?A.Scientist A.B.Scientists B &C.C.C. Scientist B.D.Scientists B & A.3、In today’s global world, more and more people travel to foreign countries.

He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. "Your working uniform is your shelter," he told her. "Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be."Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions(情绪). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit; willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. "Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren't working hard—but that's because they've made it automatic," Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said. "Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it."The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives. Those courses arc, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.1.We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must ________.A.learn to give lecturesB.attend education programsC.design a working uniformD.develop a common hobby2.Willpower will become a habit when employees can _________.A.focus on the profitsB.benefit from the jobC.protect themselves wellD.control their feeling well3.What can we infer from the passage?A.G&G has grown into a large company.B.G&G will spend half its profits training employees.C.G&G may become more successful in the future.D.G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.5、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。

2019年高考英语二轮复习考点精练卷二及答案解析1、The Nazca Lines are a series of large ancient geoglyphs(地画)in the Nazca Desert,in southern Peru.It is ranging from geometric patterns to drawings of different animals and stylized human-like forms.The ancient lines can only be truly taken in from high in the air,leaving generations puzzled as to how these precise works could have been completed long before the documented invention of human flight.The Lines were first spotted when commercial airlines began flying across the Peruvian desert in the 1920s.Who built them and what was their purpose?Are they roads,star pointers,maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here2,000years ago had only a simple technology,how did they manage to construct such precise figures?Did they have a plan?These markings are like a vast puzzle.The Nazca Lines are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs in the world.There are also huge geoglyphs in Egypt,Malta,United States(Mississippi and California),Chile,Holivia and in other countries.But the Nazca geoglyphs,because of their numbers,characteristics,dimensions and cultural continuity as they were made and remade throughout a certain history period,form the most impressive archeological(考古学的) group.The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it,due to the combination of the climate(one of the driest on Earth,with only twenty minutes of rainfall per year)and the flat,stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level.With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode(腐蚀)it,lines drawn here tend to stay drawn.These factors,combined with the existence of lighter-colored subsoil beneath the desert surface,provide a vast writing pad that is suited to the artist who wants to leave his mark eternal.1.What can we know about the Nazca Lines from the first two paragraphs?A.They were built as a big map.B.They were formed by nature.C.They are ancient lines in caves.D.They are huge markings in a desert.2.How many factors make the Nazca Lines the most impressive?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.3.Why are the Nazca Lines well preserved?A.Because of the wind at ground level.B.Because of the existence of soft soil.C.Because of the climate and geography.D.Because of the thick sand on the top.4.What does the underlined word“eternal”probably mean?A.Non-stop.B.Ever-lasting.C.Real-life.D.High-end.2、Camp All-StarOne of a Kind Summer Camps for KidsWelcome to Camp All-Star,your No.1summer sports camp for kids!Located on the famous Kents Hill School campus by the beautiful lake,Camp All-Star hosts kids from around the world.When thinking about your next overnight summer camp,consider the best—Camp All-Star!Great Sports Summer Camps for KidsCamp All-Star stands out among the successful camps in theU.S.We have the best sports fields and courts to make your child’s sports camp experience a successful one.Your child can enjoy playing for hours in any of our more than30sports and activities each day.Our camper to staff rate is three to one,which makes it possible for children to receive more careful instruction.We have a wide variety of activities and sports to choose from:fishing,dance,basketball,soccer,baseball, and tennis.Boys and girls,aged8-16,can customize their own schedules in our2,3,4or6week summer camp session for kids.The aim of Camp All-Star is to develop athletic skills,encourage abilities in leadership,fair play and team work,and provide a fun,rewarding and memorable summer sports camp experience.Our staff have the experience and qualified training necessary to ensure that your child has a successful,memorable and enjoyable time at our summer camp.Call Today About Our Overnight Summer Camps for KidsDon’t let your kids waste another summer playing video games and sitting around.Let them enjoy their time and get some exercise at our exciting and friendly summer sports rmation for our upcoming camps can be found on our website.For additional information or questions,contact us today.We hope your kids can join us at Camp All-Star!1.Camp All-Star stands out among the others because it______.A.is surrounded by a beautiful lakeB.provides various activities and sportsC.offers timely information on its websiteD.allows children to play outside all day long2.One of the goals of Camp All-star is to______.A.fire kids’imaginationB.build up kids’confidenceC.develop kids’leadership skillsD.promote kids’self-control3.This advertisement is intended for______.A.parentsB.coachesC.staffD.Campers3、Regardless of how far we’d like to believe gender(性别)equality in the workplace has come,there’s still a yawning gap between male and female leaders in the professional world.A2018statistic shows that women nowadays hold just5.8percent of CEOs positions at S&P500companies,according to Catalyst. While it’s not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions,what is surprising though,is the fact that females may actually be better suited to lead in almost every area,at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School.In their research,Professor Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed(调查)2,900managers with a special focus on personality types.The results were clear:Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadership-centric categories.While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders—probably because they picture a leader with a commanding voice,which is more typical of men than women—this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goal-setting,openness,sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to communicate clearly.There was one area in which men scored higher than women,though,and that was on emotional stability and ability to face job-related pressure and stress.The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of high-pressure or highly emotional situations.Obviously,it’s important to consider individual(个人的)differences.Anyone,regardless of gender,may be an inspiring leader and a competent boss.So next time you’re hiring for a management position,you just might want to give the resumes(简历)from female candidates a harder look.1.What makes us shocked much at leadership positions?A.Women are worse than men.B.Men take almost all high positions.C.There is a huge gap between genders.D.Women might behave better in every field.2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word‘‘inherently”in paragraph4?A.properlyB.potentiallyC.naturallyD.normally3.Which of the following may be the best title of this text?A.How We Can Figure Out The Boss.B.Why Women Are Better Than MenC.Why Women Make Better BossesD.How We Can Tell Gender Difference4.Who might have special interest in this article?A.Job hunters.B.Employers.C.Employees.D.University students.4、In ancient Egypt,a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment.Modern businesses have been following his lead,with more tactics(策略).One tactic involves where to display the goods.For example,stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section.They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品)later in their trip.In department stores,the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品)section:while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe,bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides,businesses seek to appeal to customers'senses.Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping,so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day.Music sells goods,too.Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.When it comes to the selling of houses,businesses also use highly rewarding tactics.They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door,and turn it into a business opportunity.A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly.When entering the house,the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows,and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level.The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these$10million houses.1.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A.To save customers time.B.To show they are high quality foods.C.To help sell junk food.D.To sell them at discount prices.2.According to Paragraph3,which of the following encourages customers to buy?A.Opening the store early in the morning.B.Displaying British wines next to French ones.C.Inviting customers to play music.D.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.3.What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?A.The house structure is a key factor customers consider.B.The more costly the house is,the better it sells.C.An ocean view is much to the customers'taste.D.A good first impression increases sales.4.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.B.To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.C.To report researches on customer behavior.D.To show dishonest business practices.5、How to Excel in Poetry WritingIf you are serious about your poetry,then you should consider the suggestions presented here.①__________Many poets have also used these tips to make poetry publishing possible in their life. Write Every Day.It is important that all writers write every day.②__________You should remove all distractions so that you can be focused during this time.Many writers will set realistic goals for themselves as to how many words they will write each day or at least a specific amount of time when they have to write. You don't have to write about anything specific as long as you are writing something.Join a Writing Group.You can fine-tune your craft even more by joining a writing group or community.③__________There are thousands of writing communities that you can join.You should get involved in writers'discussions and should trade your work with other writers for review and critique.By doing this you will receive valuable feedback and will also learn a lot by reviewing the work of other writers. Challenge Yourself.One of the best things that you can do and that can actually help you greatly with poetry publishing,is taking part in contests that are designed for novice poets.④__________You can easily find these contests online and can commit yourself to taking part in them.Most of these contests have a strict structure and rules that must be followed.A challenge like this is a great way to truly push yourself as a writer.⑤__________Some contests offer cash prizes while others offer publication of the winning pieces of poetry in the contest.A.With the use of the Internet this is an easy task.B.Many of these poetry contests even offer prizes!C.You can turn to others for help in writing poems.D.Read your poetry after finishing it in no time.E.Set aside a specific amount of time for writing.F.These ideas have assisted many writers in getting serious about writing.G.There are thousands of poetry contests conducted every year.6、Many language learners think their pronunciation is good enough because their teacher doesn't correct them too often or because other students can1them.Pronunciation is the area which is2the least attention to in language learning.Mostteachers3just let their students speak and stop them4they say something completely wrong. Working on each student's pronunciation in class is just5.Also,the students who are6at pronunciation may be afraid that it will embarrass their classmates if they help7their mistakes.If you believe your pronunciation is good enough to8because it is good enough for your teacher and other students,you may be9when you actually go to a foreign country.One of my friends wasthe best student in his10class in Poland.When he went to America,he found Americans didn't understand11of what he said.Your pronunciation may still be quite12that of a native speaker.If this is the13,other people will find it14to understand what you're saying and will not be comfortable with you.15,don't think you can communicate in a foreign language16you've tested your skills on real native speakers.17for native or nearnative pronunciation so that people you talk to can communicate with you18.In order to achieve this goal,there's19that you will need to start thinking about pronunciation and20time on it.1.A.mistake B.watch C.surround D.understand2.A.fixed B.drawn C.paid D.called3.A.never B.ever C.even ually4.A.only if B.if only C.even if D.if ever5.A.fantastic B.impossible C.necessary D.important6.A.poor B.well C.good D.strict7.A.find out B.work out C.try out D.point outmunicate B.travel C.pronounce D.exchange9.A.happy B.disappointed C.surprised D.excited10.A.Polish B.French C.German D.English11.A.none B.half C.rest D.lot12.A.near to B.different from C.far from D.from far13.A.same B.matter C.case D.fact14.A.easy B.beneficial C.convenient D.hard15.A.In conclusion B.In a word C.On the contrary D.In short16.A.when B.until C.unless D.while17.A.Stand B.Look C.Aim D.Account18.A.smoothly B.difficultly C.truly D.practically19.A.no way B.no need C.no doubt D.no wonder20.A.take B.cost C.spend D.kill7、阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instea d of clothes that wouldn’t fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw n ewspaper advertisements for the se t at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.22.

The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and the elderly, but in order to stay she’s had to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad.Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant(移民)population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits, or in some cases, citizenship.Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs, such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration(融合).Others say it’s only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation, seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society.Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants, and some terms are even tougher. The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures.Italy, which has a much weaker tradition of immigration, has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years. In 1990, immigrants numbered some 1.14 million out of Italy’s then 56.7 million people, o r about 2 percent. At the start of this year, foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 million, or 7.5 percent, with immigrants’ children accounting for an ever larger percentage of births in Italy.Cojochru, the Moldovan caregiver, hoped obtaining permanent residence (居住权) would help her bring her two children to Italy; they live with her sister in Moldova, where salaries are among the lowest in Europe. She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration.Italians always "see me as a foreigner," an outsider, even though she’s stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently, she said.1.Why does Cojochru have to take a language test?A.To continue to stay in Italy.B.To teach her children Italian.C.To find a better job in Italy.D.To better mix with the Italians.2.Some people worry that the new language requirement may _____.A.reduce Italy's population quicklyB.cause conflicts among peopleC.lead to financial difficultiesD.put pressure on schools3.What do we know about Cojochru?A.She lives with her sister now in Italy.B.She enjoys learning the Italian language.C.She speaks Italian well enough for her job.D.She wishes to go back to her home country.4、If Confucius(孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. I n many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.1.The opening paragraph is mainly intended to .A.provide some key facts about ConfuciusB.attract the readers’ interest in the subjectC.show great respect for the ancient thinkerD.prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations2.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students .A.have a great interest in studying ChineseB.take an active part in Chinese competitionsC.try to get high scores in Chinese examsD.fight for a chance to learn Chinese3.What is the best title for the passage?A.Forgotten Wisdom in AmericaB.Huge Fans of the Chinese LanguageC.Chinese Culture for WesternersD.Old Thinker with a Big Future4.The passage is likely to appear in .A.a biographyB.a history paperC.a newspaperD.a philosophy textbook5、 A dragonfly barely an inch and a half long appears to be the animal worlds most prcnluctive long distance traveler —flying thousands of miles over oceans—according to newly published research.Biologists who led the study say the evidence is in the genes. They found that populations of this dragonfly, called Pantala (lavescens, in Texas, eastern Canada, Japan, Korea,India, and South America, have genes so similar that there is only one likely explanation. Apparently—somehow一these insects are traveling distances thai are extraordinarily long for iheir small size, breeding (繁殖) with each other, and creating a common worldwide gene pool.But how do insects from different continents manage to meet? Ware says it appears to be the way their bodies have evolved These dragonflies have adaptation such as increased surface areas on their wings that enable them to use the wind to carry them.Dragonflies,in fact,have already been observed crossing the Indian Ocean from Asia to Africa. “They are following the weather,’’ says Daniel Troasl, who analyzed the DNA samples in Wares' lab. "They've going from India where it's the dry season to Africa where it's the wet season, and apparentlythey do it once a year."Wetness is a must for Pantala to reproduce, and that, says Ware, is why these insects would be driven to even attempt such a dangerous trip, which she calls a ''kind of suicide". The species depends on it. While many will die on the roule, as long as enough make it, the species sunives.For the moment, the details of this extraordinary insect travel are an educated best guess. Much more work is needed to bring many loose ends together. Ware and Troast hope that scientists can work on plotting those routes.1.What proves Pantala flavescens are the world's longest-distance flyers?A.Scientists have tracked the dragonfly across the world.B.There are many Pantala flavescens in various continents.C.The same dragonfly was found both in Asia and America.D.Pantala flavescens in different continents have similar genes.2.What helps Pantala flavescens fly a long distance?A.Their special body shape.B.Their ability to use wind.C.Their small and light body.D.Their large and strong wings.3.What is necessary for Pantala flavescens to reproduce?A.Damp weather.B.Enough sunshine.C.Dry environment.D.Warm nests.4.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.The weather.B.The insect.C.The wind.D.The trip.6、BEIJING (AP)—Sandstorms whipping across China shrouded(遮蔽) cities in an unhealthy cloud of sand Monday, with winds carrying the pollution outside the mainland as far as Hong Kong and Taiwan.It was the latest sign of the effects of desertification: Overgrazing,deforestation,urban sprawl(无计划地扩展) and drought have expanded deserts in the country’s north and west.The shifting sands have gradually moved onto populated areas and worsened sandstorms that strike cities, particularly in spring.Winds blowing from the northwest have been sweeping sand across the country since Saturday, affecting Xinjiang in the far west all the way to Beijing in the country's east. The sand and dust were carried to parts of southern China and even to cities in Taiwan,1,600 miles (2,600 kilometers) away from Inner Mongolia where much of the pollution originated.The sandstorm in Taiwan, an island 100 miles (160 kilometers) away from the mainlands forced people to cover their faces to avoid breathing in the grit(砂砾) that can cause chest discomfort and respiratory problems even in healthy people.Drivers complained their cars were covered in a layer of black soot in just 10 minutes.In Hong Kong,environmental protection officials said pollution levels were climbing as the sandstorm moved south.Twenty elderly people sought medical assistance for shortness of breat h. Hong Kong’s radio RTHK reported.The latest sandstorm was expected to hit South Korea on Tuesday, said Kim Seung-bum of the Korea Meteorological Administration.The sandstorm that raked(掠过) across China over the weekend caused the worst “yellow dust” haze in South Korea since 2005,and authorities issued a rare nationwide dust advisory.Grit from Chinese sandstorms has been found to travel as far as the western United States.China’s Central Meteorological Station urged people to close doors an d windows, and cover their faces with masks or scarves when going outside.Sensitive electronic and mechanical equipment should be sealed off, the station said in a warning posted Monday on its Website.State television's noon newscast showed the tourist city of Hangzhou on the eastern coasts where graceful bridges and waterside pagodas were hidden in a mix of sand and other pollution. In Beijing, residents and tourists with faces covered scurried along sidewalks to minimize exposure to the pollution.A massive sandstorm hit Beijing in 2006,when winds dumped about 300,000 tons of sand on the capital.1.We can learn from the text that _______.A.the sandstorms were purposely made by ChinaB.the writer thinks that China government should be responsible for the pollutionC.the sandstorms badly affected the air in USD.China’s Central Meteorological Station will be closed2.The passage tells us that the sandstorms mainly came from _____.A.XinjiangB.HangzhouC.BeijingD.Inner Mongolia3.The underlined wor d “respiratory”(in Para.4) means "________".A.breathingB.digestingC.hearingD.walking4.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.South Korea seldom issues nationwide dust advisories.B.Taiwan is 1,600 miles from Beijing.C.Sandstorms have hit Beijing more than once.D.In Hong Kong some old people need help for shortness of breath caused by sandstorms.7、Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.According to the report’s key findings, "the proportion(比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and27 percent respectively today."The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2—8,remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议)parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近)ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.1.What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A.Children's reading habits.B.Quality of children's books.C.Children's after-class activities.D.Parent-child relationships.2.Where can you find the data that best supports "children are reading a lot less for fun"?A.In paragraph 2.B.In paragraph 3.C.In paragraph 4.D.In paragraph 5.3.Why do many parents limit electronic reading?A.E-books are of poor quality.B.It could be a waste of time.C.It may harm children's health.D.E-readers are expensive.4.How should parents encourage their children to read more?A.Act as role models for them.B.Ask then to write book reports.C.Set up reading groups for them.D.Talk with their reading class teachers.8、In today’s world of smart phones and laptops, most people have at least one time-telling thing with them. Since these digital products are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, the answer is yes. new Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function.” Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time. it is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago. As a result, some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads.However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty year ago, watchmakers took pride in their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has changed itself into an accessory(配饰)business. And today, the image a watch conveys has become more important than the time it tells.“Complications” – features that go beyond simple timekeeping—are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, USB drivers, and even other functions that measure the effectiveness of golf swings!Creativity also plays a key role in designing today’s watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s popular Sh inshoku model uses different color lights to tell time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet than a watch.Whether a watch conveys fashion sense, creative talent or a love of sports, consumers want their watches to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget(小玩意)in their bags, so people want to make a statement with what’s on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell!1.What can we know from the first paragraph?A.As most people see, watches are out of fashion.B.Some people feel that watches have been of no use.C.The watch industry will close down sooner or later.D.There are so many choices of watches for teenagers today.2.According to the passage, what image does a watch convey nowadays?A.It simply tells time.B.It appeals to many teenagers.C.It has many complex function.D.It has an impact on creativity and imagination.3.Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to ______.A.show why Shinshoku watches are popularB.advertise Shinshoku watches made by TokyoflashC.tell that today’s watches need more imaginationD.make a comparison between watches and bracelets4.What may be the best title for the passage?A.Watches Tell More Than TimeB.Japanese Watches Stand OutC.Watch Industry Is in a Bad SituationD.Watches Are Becoming Less Popular答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：1.B; 2.B; 3.D; 4.C解析：1.细节理解题。

2019届高考英语二轮考点解析卷（四）1、When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn’t have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny’s mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.”Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans’ corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together.

This was a strange obituary, for it told Alfred Nobel, the man who wasreading it, that he was dead. The newspaper had confused Alfred with his brother, Ludwig, who had recently died.Nobel was shocked to read that he had passed away,and he was even more annoyed by the title of the obituary : The Merchant of Death Is Dead. Alfred was a very rich and successful armaments manufacturer(武器制造商).This incident got him thinking about his reputation. What would people think of him after his real death? Would they really say “That was a man who profited from killing”? It was this thought that led him to leave his money一a huge amount of it—for the founding of the famous Nobel Prizes. His aim was for his money to be used to support the ongoing quest(追求) for excellence in the sciences and literature, and the ideal of peace. Thousands of men and women have been honored since the first awards were given out in 1901. The awards let the world know about the developments that may have a huge effect on our lives.However, the prizes are controversial sometimes. There is often protest(抗议) at the award of the peace prize when not everyone thinks that the award-winners deserve the award. Even the award for literature has sometimes been criticized because the award committee often neglects important writers. The highly influential novelists James Joyce and Marcel Proust,for example,were never honored by the Swedish Academy.Still, for the most part of the awards don’t cause many complaints. Alfred Nobel founded the prizes to recognize those who have had “the greatest benefit to mankind" and few would disagree that most of the prize winners—among them. Albert Einstein and Martin Luther King— have made contributions that deserved to be honored and remembered.1.How did Alfred Nobel feel when he read the obituary in the newspaper?A.Sad and worried.B.Shocked and upset.C.Surprised and confused.D.Amused and puzzled.2.What did Alfred Nobel decide to do after reading the obituary?A.Seek excellence in the sciences,B.Donate all his money to the charity.C.Stop producing any killing weapons.D.Set up the Nobel Prizes with his money.3.Why does the author mention James Joyce and Marcel Proust?A.To show the controversy of some Nobel Prizes.B.To give examples of influential Nobel Prizes.C.To explain the standard of giving out the Nobel Prizes.D.To prove the influence of the Nobel Prizes on literature.4.What does the author think of the Nobel Prizes?A.There should be more female winners.B.There are too many controversial winners.C.They have honored many worthy winners.D.The committee should be more selective.4、It is safe to say that George Bernard Shaw(1856—1950),the Irish-born writer,is more famous for being George Bernard Shaw than he is for his writings today. Few of Shaw’s more than 60 plays,novels and essays are performed or read anymore. And yet Shaw genuinely helped make our modern world. Although you'd be lucky to get a chance to see one of his dramas today, in his time he turned the theater into a vehicle for the discussion of social issues, not only in Britain but on the stage of the world. In a way Shaw was someone who created the modern culture of Britain.Where the theater had been dominated by entertainment,Shaw used it to teach people the importance of paying attention to the issues of their day. The plight(苦难) of the poor and the working class,the situation of women and the institutions of society,such as the education system 一Shaw was among the most well-known figures making these topics central to public debate. His first play, Widoxvers' Houses (1892) 9 deals with the question of slum(贫民窟) housing. His Mrs Warren's Profession(1893) brought a controversial topic to the stage.Shaw was an important mover and shaker in new political movements too. He was an early member of the Fabian Society, which argued for the socialist cause in the UK. Shaw was also the founder (in 1895) of one of the now most famous colleges in the world, the London School of Economics.If few of his works have really stood the test of time, many of his quotations have become part of the furniture of the English language. “Youth is wasted on the young,” he wrote. He also knew how to sum up a political philosophy(哲学) in a few memorable words. For instance: “A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.1.Shaw's influence on the modern world comes mainly from __________.A.the changes he brought to the British cultureB.his philosophies on the role of governmentC.his awareness of social problems of his dayD.the support for the London School of Economics2.Widowers' Houses is a play that mainly focuses on ______.A.the failure of the UK education systemB.the housing problems of poor peopleC.robbery incidents in slum areasD.socialist movements in the UK3.By describing Shaw’s quotations as “part of the furniture of the English language”,the author means that Shaw’s words ________.A.have become the best part of EnglishB.have greatly developed the English languageC.have made the English language philosophicalD.have become an inseparable part of the English language4.Which of the following about George Bernard Shaw's works is TRUE?A.They should be adapted for modern readers.B.They are mostly about the lives of working class.C.They deal with important social issues of their day.D.Most of them are still performed on the stage of the world today.5、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。
