以下是本人从事10多年教学经验总结出的以下学习资料,希望可以帮助大家提高答题的正确率,希望对你有所帮助,有志者事竟成!养成良好的答题习惯,是决定高考英语成败的决定性因素之一。
做题前,要认真阅读题目要求、题干和选项,并对答案内容作出合理预测;答题时,切忌跟着感觉走,最好按照题目序号来做,不会的或存在疑问的,要做好标记,要善于发现,找到题目的题眼所在,规范答题,书写工整;答题完毕时,要认真检查,查漏补缺,纠正错误。
总之,在最后的复习阶段,学生们不要加大练习量。
在这个时候,学生要尽快找到适合自己的答题方式,最重要的是以平常心去面对考试。
英语最后的复习要树立信心,考试的时候遇到难题要想“别人也难”,遇到容易的则要想“细心审题”。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Now, U.S. researchers have identified a new way to treat people infected with tuberculosis (肺结核)before they get sick.Tuberculosis is one of the world's most 1 health threats. The World Health Organization says tuberculosis kills nearly two million people each year. Another two billion are 2 : they are infected, but don't have symptoms of the disease. Those at highest risk can take medicine, but Vanderbilt University researcher Timothy Sterling says not everyone 3 with the treatment, which is a daily dose of isoniazid(异烟肼,抗结核药)for nine months. So although the medication is highly effective if people take all of their medication, many people do not take all their medication and therefore the effectiveness of the treatment plan is 4 . Asa(n) 5 , Sterling and his colleagues 6 isoniazid with another drug, rifapentine (利福喷汀).The combination was taken weekly, not daily, for just three months. And the results of this study showed that the new treatment plan ---- the three months of isoniazid and rifapentine---- was as effective as the nine–month isoniazid treatment plan. 7 , the short-course, three-month treatment plan had higher treatment completion rates and was also well 8 .There was some other difference. The two-drug, combination treatment was administered as directly 9 therapy. That means the patients took their medicine in the presence of a health care worker, to ensure that they followed the treatment plan. This was a large study, involving 7,500 participants in North America, Spain, and Brazil. Sterling 10 that most of the people in this study were HIV-negative. The results might be 11 for HIV-positive people. A recent study in South Africa indicated that the combination therapy works well in people infected with HIV as well as tuberculosis, but the study was too small to be 12 . Timothy Sterling's research, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, has been 13 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC. The government health agency recommends the 12-dose weekly combination treatment as an equal alternative to the 270–dose daily treatment plan that has been the 14 therapy. But because of possible 15 issues, the CDC still recommends the daily treatment plan for HIV–positive patients who are taking antiretroviral drugs or women who are pregnant. Also because of a lack of data, the CDC says children under age 12 should stay with the nine-month daily treatment.1. A. public B. persistent C. predictable D. mild2.

备战2021年高考英语篇章体裁分类专项训练专题02 说明文(二)话题:一、完形填空People are always asking what the most important element to a healthy relationship is. The 1 is there are many. But there is one really important thing that all great and healthy relationships have in common— 2 . Yes, of course, there are some little 3 lies even in the best of relationships— 4 surprises or unexpected birthday parties—but the truth is that happy couples communicate honestly and don’t 5 to protect their own interests. So how can you have more open 6 in your own relationship?First, remember that honesty is the best policy even 7 your partner might not like what you have to say. Yes, it may be 8 to tell your guy that you don’t like one of his friends. But lying or holding things 9 will make things worse in the long run.The next thing to be 10 is to say what you have to say 11 . If your partner feels 12 ,he will be less13 to what you have to say and may even become defensive. Your delivery is of utmost importance when you are discussing sensitive issues. Think through what you want to say 14 before youbring it up. You don’t want to 15 the person that you love. You just want them to be 16 of the truth.One last thing to keep in mind about communicating openly is that it enhances your relationship. If you aren’t honest about any dirty little 17 you may have, they will probably come up eventually and 18 you in the backside. And if you keep things to yourself, your relationship will not be based on the truth, which19 a solid foundation.

It was the most important structure built by the Romans in Britain, and now it has been a World Heritage (遗产) Site. Built around AD 160, Arbeia Roman Fort was the military supply base for the soldiers who were stationed along Hadrian’s Wall. The fort has been gradually uncovered and some original parts have been revealed. There are reconstructions that show how Arbeia Roman Fort would have looked.The ReconstructionsThe reconstructions of the Commanding Officer’s house and soldiers’ quarters are strikingly different. The accommodation for soldiers is dark and uncomfortable, while the Commanding Officer’s house is spacious and luxurious, with courtyards with fountains for him and his family to enjoy.The MuseumVisit the museum and see many objects that were found at Arbeia. They are historically important and show what daily life was really like at that time. You will see weapons, tools, jewellery, and so on.

On November 1.D. On December 26.BYou know that old saying that laughter is the best medicine. Well, studies have long shown that laughter can have a positive effect both physically and emotionally. In South Korea, a nation more used to holding back its emotions, at least one hospital is encouraging patients to let loose on their regular basis.Laughing, for those cancer patients and their families, is a weekly exercise at Seoul National University hospital. It is something that does not come easy for them, but an hour of laughter therapy (疗法)is all it takes to fight depression that often follows chemical treatment. Lim Song Li, a therapist at the hospital, was once a depression patient herself. She now is a laughter therapist and says when you laugh, blood vessels expand,and sugar levels drop, producing an abundance of hormones (激素)linked with happiness and pleasure. But in Korean culture,where Confucian tradition dominates(主导)social behavior,laughing is not a nature thing. Korean men are taught not to cry more than three times in their lifetime. And the sound of a Korean woman's laughter should not be heard outside the fence of her home. But inside this hospital,they are letting it out. By the end of the session, they make belief laughs somehow become their own.If laughing requires effort,more natural to Koreans, it is singing. The sing-song star therapist, famous for her therapy sessions to fight housewife depression,Jeong Ji Song says singing is an easier way to express inner feelings,especially for Korean women brought up in the conservative background. For some,these classes can be a stress-management tool,but for many more who suffer from depression, learning to sing out their heart can be a healing process.It not only helped Ying Seung Woo come out of severe depression, but also presented her with a new career. After taking up singing therapy, she found a talent in herself-cheer-leading. And now she is taking courses to become a certified therapist.24.The author mentions South Korea to show.A.there are few people suffering from depression in South KoreaB.laughter has a positive influence on Korean women' s healthC.people in South Korea are used to expressing their inner feelingsD.people in South Korea have attempted to use laughter therapy25.

Laughing is not allowed in the Korean tradition.26. What does the underlined word “healing” in paragraph 3 mean?A.Curing. B.Controlling. C.Suffering. D.Fighting.CAs doctors and nurses struggle for medical supplies to fight coronavirus pandemic,help is coming from an unlikely place﹣high school students. The Careen Technical Education Charter High Scholl(CTEC),US,has been using its nine 3D printers to make face masks for healthcare workers on the frontline.Face masks have been particularly challenging to find across the US since the outbreak Valerie Castro,16, a CTEC student,is part of a team of teachers and students who came up with improvement that cut almost 30 minutes off the time it takes to build a face mask."That's what makes this school kind of different. " Gavin Newsom, Governor of the State of California, said. "Even though all these bad things are happening,we're able to make an impact positively. It's like leaving your little mark on the world. " Makerbot,a New York﹣based company that makes 3D printers, has also helped CTEC to maximize the building process. They've been churning out nearly 100 masks each day, and that production rate is set to be three times as 20 more 3D printers come online at the school.CTEC staff and students have provided masks to hospitals, dentists, urgent care centers and retirement homes in Fresno County and the surrounding areas in California. "I was shocked," Stacy V ohra told school staff in video. "We were so thrilled to have the donation from CTEC. This is something that we've been needing. ""The entire staff has switched from daily teaching to face mask production," said Jonathan Delano, director of CTEC. "When the new 3D printers arrive, some of them will go to students' houses so kids can help with the hands ﹣on process. ""That's how we get through these things, " Delano said. "Our high school focuses on giving back to society. Students should know the skills they hold can have an impact on a community. "27.What can we learn from the passage?A. High School students are expected to help make face masks in the U. S.B. Valeria alone helps speed up the production of 3D face masks in CTEC.C. The act of the students in CTEC is highly thought of by Gavin.D.

A high school made contributions by producing 3D face masks.三、七选五If you’re tired of freestyle walking programs, you may be interested in leaming how to racewalk. Or you want to pick up speed. Or maybe you have a desire for competition. 31., racewalking is a good choice for you.As you begin to racewalk, it is important to concentrate more on movement than on speed. Speed will come later, as you master the movement skills of racewalking. And you can begin to increase your speed once you feel comfortable with the actions of racewalking. Be sure, however, to increase your speed gradually. 32..Racewalking can increase your walking exercise. You can experience this in person. Try walking as fast as you can, and youll feel your body eager to jog. 33., you have to keep one foot on the ground at all times. While you are jogging, both feet are off the ground at some point, which allows you to cover more distance with one step. So in order to cover the same distance, you have to take more steps than you would if you were jogging.34.. Before you begin exercising, you need to warm up your body and relax your muscles (肌肉). 35.. It is necessary to cool down in the end. If you ignore these steps, you may suffer muscle pain and even injury.A.No matter what the reason isB.In order to walk at high speedsC.The same is true after each exerciseD.Always keep safety in mind when racewalkingE.In order to continue walking and not to break into a jogF.Don’t push too hard or walk to the point of being tired outG.It is more efficient to warm up your body before exercise四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 workand will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 54 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.Different cultures have different ways of 55 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 57 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 58 managers cannot.A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 59 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 60 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 61 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 62 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 63 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.Another trend is off-site or 64 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 65 of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.51. A. desire B. seek C. lose D. dislike52.

Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 47 everything so harshly (刻薄) .

Cloze 1(2016·上海卷)In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the now famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 1 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.In any case, despite so much evidence to the 2 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 3 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 4 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.Different cultures have different ways of 5 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making —all members of the department or work group are asked to 6 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 7 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 8 managers cannot.A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 9 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 10 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 11 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 12 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 13 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.Another trend is off-site or 14 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 15 of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.1. A. desire B. seek C. lose D. dislike2.

But their 4 soon wears off and by January those 5 toys can be found put away in the basement. The world is full of 6 stamp albums and unfinished models, each standing as a monument to someone’s 7 interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child 8 bathes it and brushes its fur.

According to specialists, our bodies send out more 2than we realize. In fact, non-verbal(非言语) communication takes up about 50% of what we really 3 . And body language is particularly 4 when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so 5 a part of us that it’s actually often misunderstandings occur as a result of it. 6 , different societies treat the 7 between people differently.

The one most widely accepted today is based on the 1 that drama evolved from ritual(宗教仪式). The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings 2 the natural forces of the world—even the seasonal changes—as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to 3 these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to 4 the desired results were then kept and repeated until they changed into 5 rituals.6 stories arose which explained or masked the mysteries of the rituals. As times passed, some rituals were7 , but the stories, later called myths, continued to exist and provided material for art and drama.Those who believed that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rituals contained the 8 of theatre because music, dance, masks, and 9 were almost always used. 10 , a suitable site had to be provided for performances and 11 the entire community did not participate , a(n) 12 division was usually made between the "area of acting and theatre in which an audience sits ". Besides, there were performers, and, since considerable importance was 13 to avoiding mistakes in the practice of rituals, religious leaders usually 14 thattask. Wearing masks and costumes, they often imitated (模仿) other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed (用哑剧表演出) the 15 effect—success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun—16an actor might. Eventually such dramatic representatives were separated from 17 activities.Another theory traces the theater’s origin from the huma n interest in 18 . According to this view, tales about the hunt, war or other things are told and gradually spread. 19 through the use of action and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person.

He first used it in a short story in 1982, and expanded on it a couple of years later in a novel Neuromancer. His 1 creation turned out to be remarkably prescient (有先见之明). Cyberspace has become shorthand for the computing devices, networks, fiber-optic cables, and wireless links that bring the internet to billions of people around the world. The2 made by these technologies have brought tremendous benefits to everyone who uses the web to3 humanity’s collective store of knowledge every day.But there is a darker side to this extraordinary invention. Data 4 are becoming ever bigger and more common. Last year over 800m records were lost, mainly through attacks. Among the most prominent recent 5 has been Target, whose chief executive stood down from his job in May, a few months after the giant retailer 6 that online intruders had stolen millions of digital records about its customers, including credit- and debit-card details.The potential damage, though, extends well beyond such 7 intrusion. Wider 8_have been raised by the realization of a growing numbers of cyber-warriors being recruited by countries that see cyberspace as a new territory of warfare. America’s president, Barack Obama, said in a White House press release that cyber-threats "9 one of the gravest national-security dangers" the country is facing.Securing cyberspace is hard because the architecture of the internet was designed to promote connectivity, not 10Its founders focused on getting it to work and did not 11 threats because the network was attached to America’s military. As hackers 12 , layers of security, from antivirus programs to firewalls, were added to try to keep them at bay. Gartner, a research firm, admits that last year organizations around the globe spent $67 billion on information security.13 , these defenses have worked reasonably well. Despite the talk about the risk of a "cyber 9/11", the internet has proved remarkably 14 . Hundreds of millions of people turn on their computers every day and bank online, shop at 15 stores, share gossip and photos with their friends on social networks and send all kinds of sensitive data over the web without ill effect.

But there is one really important thing that all great and healthy relationships have in common— 2 . Yes, of course, there are some little 3 lies even in the best of relationships— 4 surprises or unexpected birthday parties—but the truth is that happy couples communicate honestly and don’t 5 to protect their own interests. So how can you have more open 6 in your own relationship?First, remember that honesty is the best policy even 7 your partner might not like what you have to say. Yes, it may be 8 to tell your guy that you don’t like one of his friends. But lying or holding things 9 will make things worse in the long run.The next thing to be 10is to say what you have to say 11. If your partner feels 12 ,he will be less 13 to what you have to say and may even become defensive. Your delivery is of utmost importance when you are discussing sensitive issues. Think through what you want to say 14 before you bring it up. You don’t want to 15 the person that you love. You just want them to be 16 of the truth.One last thing to keep in mind about communicating openly is that it enhances your relationship. If you aren’t honest about any dirty little 17 you may have, they will probably come up eventually and 18 you in the backside. And if you keep things to yourself, your relationship will not be based on the truth, which 19 a solid foundation. Hard 20 the truth may be sometimes, honesty really is the best policy.1.
