There are currently 791 pupils on the school roll(名单). The school has a long and distinguished history, and it is also one of the oldest charities in the country, providing scholarships to pupils and organizing a Charity of the Term.The curriculum(课程) at King's is based on strong academic roots. It emphasizes and relies upon what is best in traditional independent school education: scholarly excellence supported by a caring and tutorial system, and a wideran ging cocurricular programme. However, it is continually adapting and reacting to the changing demands of modern education: new subjects are added, new teaching techniques are adopted, and there is an increasing awareness of the need to provide programmes of study that match individual needs and skills.The curriculum is divided into three units: the Lower School(Year 9 ), an introductory year; the Middle School(Years 10 and 11 ), working to GCSEs; and the Sixth Form(Years 12 and 13), taking AS and A levels.Full details can be found in: Shell Guide and Handbook; Middle School Academic Guide 2009—2011; Middle School Academic Guide 2010—2012; Sixth Form Guide 2009—2011 and Sixth Form Guide 2010—2012.Formal and structured educational support, for those who need it, is available at all levels. The wellstocked library is open 7 days and 6 evenings per week. ICT facilities (including the Internet) are available for all and the whole school(studies within the houses as well as classrooms) is extensively networked.Pupils are offered extensive career advice throughout their time at King's. Almost all go to university, either immediately or following a GAP year. The most popular university destinations are Cambridge, Bristol, Nottingham, Durham, Leeds, Oxford, Edinburgh, Manchester, and University College, London.Director of Studies: Geoff Cocksworth: grc @ kingsExaminations Officer: Elaine McDowell: eam @ kingsschool. co. uk.Click here for more information.16.The best title of the passage might be ________.A.The King's SchoolB.The Curriculum in BritainC.New Teaching TechniquesD.British Education System17.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.The King's School, Canterbury is a famous high school in Britain.B.The curriculum at King's is best in traditional and modern education.C.All pupils of the school go to university immediately after they graduate.D.Pupils' dormitories as well as classrooms are provided with network.18.The following can be inferred from the passage EXCEPT that________.A.the King's School focuses on pupils' individual developmentB.pupils in the King's School who pass GCSEs will go to universityC.pupils in the King's School have an easy access to the school library D.pupils in the King's School receive good education19.The passage is probably taken from a ________.A.handbook B.websiteC.magazine D.newspaperBThe average temperature around the world is rising. People living in the US Midwest might find a fact hard to believe, though. The scientists suggest that the change in the Midwest climate may have happened because of farming.The first study was led by David Changnon, a climatologist(气候学家) at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb.Changnon and his team studied temperature records from the sites in the Midwest. They found that since 1970, the average temperature in the region during July and August has gone down—by up to one degree Fahrenheit(华氏度)—from what it was during the years between 1930 and 1969. Their investigation also showed that the average rainfall in those states during those two months has increased. Between 1970 and 2009, about 0.33 inch more rain fell than between 1930 and 1969.These_changes may be connected by humidity(湿度), Changnon says. Humidity is the measure of how much moisture is in the air. Humid air, which contains a lot of moisture,takes longer to heat up than dry air, Changnon notes. And humid airoften releases its moisture through rainfall.So where did the extra moisture in the air come from?Changnon points to farms in the region. As plants grow, they pull moisture from the ground and release it into the air. And among plants, soybeans (大豆) and corn pla nts release a lot of moisture. Midwestern farms now plant more soybeans and corn than in the past, with 97 percent of farmland today planted with these two crops. In the 1930s, corn and soybeans covered only about 57 percent, Changnon says. He also notes that the plants are planted closer together now than they used to be, so there are more plants per acre than in the past.The second study, like Changnon's, also found an increase in rainfall in the same area. But it points to another possible source for the increased moisture. Alan Robock at Rutgers University was part of the team that produced the second study and presented the group's findings. The team found that irrigation practices in the Great Plains have changed over the years. The researchers studied a vast area in the region. They found that in 1930, farmers in that region irrigated only about 1.8 million acres of farmland. In 1980, however, farmers irrigated nearly 15 million acres. Plants use the water and then release it into the air.These results by Changnon and Robock and their colleagues are the first step toward understanding a change in the weather.20.What does the underlined term “These changes” refer to?A.Lower temperatures and more rainfall.B.Higher temperatures and higher humidity.C.Making a record both in the past and now.D.The tw o periods of the 40year investigation.21.Which of the following could be the possible sources for the increased moisture in the US Midwest?A.Scientists' research and farmers' attention.B.Less farmland and more plants.C.More plants and irrigation practices.D.Natural reservoirs and underground rivers.22.The studies show that in America's Midwest,________.A.the average temperature is getting higher and higherB.more and more farmland has been desertedC.the amount of rain is closely related to the temperatureD.summers are now cooler and wetter than they were in years past23.According to the passage, irrigating more and more plants means ________.A.making more space for farms and buildingsB.making more and more water into the air, and thus causing more rainC.more farms depending on watersaving systemsD.using plants to change the climateⅢ.短文填词There are many inspiring stories about the Olympic Games. In 1968, a Kenyan athlete 24.n________ Kip Keino competed in the 15,000 meters running race. At that time, he was very ill and 25.________ great pain.

2017届高考英语一轮复习整体规划(讨论稿)一.如何整合教材:第一,语法知识复习。
为避免教材知识点简单重复,即“炒剩饭”,我们结合高考对语法知识的考查和要求,将8个模块40个单元(每个单元2篇阅读)内容重新编写成高考“语法填空”的形式,整理成册,印发给学生。
用旧内容生成新知识,既复习了教材中的重难点词汇、句子,梳理了各个语法项目,又训练了高考“语法填空”题型做题技巧和方法,既不偏离课本,又不拘泥于课本。
第二,课文改写背诵。
将1-5必修模块中的第一篇阅读改写成内容、情节连贯的小文章,词汇大约在200-300个词左右,改写后的文章中包括该单元重点词汇、句式、固定短语、习惯表达等,学生利用早读背诵或默写。
第三,课文复述。
复习完每个单元词汇、句子、语法之后,要求学生用这些知识对课文内容进行口头复述,既训练学生口头表达能力(应对高考听说考试中的第三部分“复述”),又掌握、巩固了语言点。
二:如何处理高考3500个词汇?编印高考3500个词汇练习册。
将3500个词汇整理成练习册形式,便于考查(词汇复习贯穿于高三备考始终。
我们反复向学生灌输“巧妇难为无米之炊”的道理,没有大量的词汇积累,就谈不上阅读速度和准确度,就谈不上语法规则运用,更谈不上作文内容完整,结构准确,篇章连贯,提高英语运用能力及应试能力成了空话。
共分三轮进行词汇过关,第一轮,学生写出所有熟悉的词汇的中文意思,不会的用红笔画出,做出标记。
第二轮,学生重点查找并记忆红笔画出不熟悉的生词。
第三轮,从3500个词汇中大致画出常用词汇、高频词汇,逐人默写过关。
用PPT将3500个词汇分类呈现给学生(每天课前5分钟)。
大致分类为阅读词汇、写作词汇、常用词汇、高频词汇等,对学生记忆提出不同要求,如阅读词汇要求辨认、理解,写作词汇要求识记、运用等,常用词汇、高频词汇要求“四会”等。
经过三轮词汇训练、检测,很多学生的词汇手册都磨破了,可见功夫下得多深。
除强化写作内容、写作技巧外,我们还对学生书写要求高、狠、准。

能力提升Ⅴ.阅读理解Millions of sports lovers are still thinking about one thing—the Winter Olympics in Sochi Russia.Close to 2, 900 men and women competed in the Winter Games.The Olympics brought a lot of attention to Sochi, a city on the Black Sea, which is a popular area for vacation travellers.The area is known for its mild winters.At least $50 billion was spent on the 2014 Winter Games, making it the costliest Olympics in history.Seven billion dollars was spent on the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada.Olympic officials chose Sochi to host the 2014 Games in 2007.At that time, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the games would cost about $13 billion.Yet the actual expenses exceeded his estimate.So where did all the money go?Some observers say the high cost is partly the result of security measures. Brian Jenkins, a terrorism expert from the RAND Corporation, gave the following explanation. There were anywhere between 70,000 and 100, 000 policemen and military troops deployed around the city.The main threat came from separatist and Islamist groups from the North Caucasus, especially from Chechnya and Dagestan.One group claimed responsibility for two suicide bombings in Volgograd in 2013.The attacks killed more than 30 people.The city is only about 600 kilometres away from Sochi.Bruce Hoffman is a terrorism expert from Georgetown University in Washington D.C.He says the increased security made Sochi a difficult target for terrorists.It is thought that the terrorists' intention was to make life difficult for the Russians and to create some sort of incident that would take away the enjoyment.The last Olympians from around the world on Russian soil were in 1980.That was a year after Soviet troops invaded Afghanistan.More than sixty countries didn't take part in the Moscow Summer Games to show their anger.21.According to the passage, why did the Sochi Winter Olympics cost so much?A.Because it was held at an area popular for vacation travellers.B.Because the Russian government wanted to make it the best ever held.C.Because security measures at Sochi were stricter than before.D.Because the original plan was made in 2007.22.It can be known from the passage that Bruce Hoffman was ________.A.a terrorism expert from the USAB.the writer who wrote this articleC.an athlete who competed in SochiD.a terrorism expert from RAND Corporation23.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Sochi Olympics cost about 4 times as estimated.B.Next Winter Olympics will be held in Vancouver.C.Many countries refused to attend the 1980 Olympics.D.Security is often a problem in international sports games.24.The terrorists might have attacked Sochi Olympics because ________.A.they wanted to make trouble for the RussiansB.they thought Russia shouldn't spend so much on sportsC.they thought Putin was not a nice presidentD.they were not interested in winter sportsⅥ.阅读七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
