The Olympic Games李仕才一、阅读理解。
Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen...At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often only of objects I find really beautiful. I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don't live to make memories--I just live, and the memories form themselves.1.Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ________.A. observing her school routineB. expressing her satisfactionC. impressing her classmatesD. preserving her history2.What caused a change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary?A.A dull night on the journey.B. The beauty of the great valley.C.A striking quotation from a book.D. Her concerns for future generations.3.What does the author put in her diary now?A. Notes and beautiful pictures.B. Special thoughts and feelings.C. Detailed accounts of daily activities.D. Descriptions of unforgettable events.4.The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is ________.A.to experience itB.to live the present in the futureC.to make memoriesD.to give accurate representations of it【文章大意】作者曾经把写日记看作保留过去的一种方式,一次山谷旅行的经历让作者对日记的理解发生了变化,现在作者认识到过有意义的生活就是体验生活,而不是记录生活。

Having served as a soldier and politician, he is often considered among the greatest of Britons. While his heroic stand against the Nazis is well know, there are still a few facts about the popular politician that might surprise you.His CigarsThe classic image of Winston Churchill includes a giant cigar stuck between his lips. Churchill developed his love of cigars as a young man, when he traveled to Cuba. Forthe rest of his life, he smoked eight or nine cigars every day. However, he almostnever took a puff(吸,抽), preferring to chew on the end until it went out, thenrelight it and start again. To prevent the cigar becoming soggy (湿软的), Churchill invented the "bellybando", a strip of brown paper which could be glued around the end. At any given time, Churchill had 3,000 to 4,000 cigars in his house, mostly hisfavorite Romeo & Juliet brand. On one occasion, the president of Cuba presentedChurchill with 2,400 top-quality cigars, although his security team insisted one cigar from each box be sent off and tested for poison. Perhaps the story that best shows his love of cigars occurred during World War II, when he had a special oxygen mask designed so that he could still smoke his cigar on a high-altitude flight.His Black DogThroughout his life, Churchill probably suffered from depression, which he calledhis "black dog". At times, his depression was so severe that he didn’t like standing close to a passing train or looking at the ocean from a ship because he feared that he would commit suicide.When he was depressed, Churchill would almost spend a great deal of time in bed and lose his ability to concentrate. However, when not depressed, Churchill was full of energy, usually working and talking until the early hours of the morning. He often described how "all the colors come back into the picture".1. Why did Churchill’s security team insist on checking the cigars?A. To test if they were safe for Churchill.B. To see if they were of the best quality.C. To make sure they were Churchill’s favorite.D. To guarantee they were not out of date.2. Which of the following best shows Churchill’s love of cigars?A. He fell in love with cigars at a young age.B. He smoked many cigars every day.C. He invented the "bellybando".D. He had an oxygen mask specially designed for smoking.3. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. Churchill became energetic again.B. Churchill remained depressed.C. Churchill drew colorful pictures.D. Churchill liked to talk about colors.4. What is probably the best title of the passage?A. Achievements of ChurchillB. Anecdotes about ChurchillC. Personalities of ChurchillD. Hobbies of ChurchillⅡ.完形填空(2016·山西考前质检)The worst problem with our current economic crisis is the strong sense of worry.It is eating people alive.Worry affects our children,our marriages,our1 ,and our sense of security.We have chosen to tell our four children,aged three to thirteen,when we do not have enough money,and 2 which bills we have to pay with Daddy’s paycheck.We let them know that it’s 3 to get everything they want right now.They have 4us.They 5 ask what bills we have to pay for a particular week.We 6 them to act upset or worried. 7 ,we are learning from their reaction.Sometimes the child 8 the parents.Now instead of telling me what they want,they say,“Mom,when will we have 9 money to get...”I pull out change and we 10 it to see if we can get Frosties(粟米片)at Wendy’s.Fast food was something they took for granted,but now it is11 .They are making wish lists and 12 birthday and Christmas money for toys or games.We spend more time together as a family.We make popcorn,turn off the lights,and watch movies together, 13 our evenings.We are happy to see our children are born craftsmen(手艺人) and their imaginations are 14 .Our children have been so conditioned to have masterpieces at their fingertips.Boxes are a huge 15 at our house.They turn into airplanes,Star Wars’ figures,and anything else you can imagine.We live paycheck to paycheck,but somehow we 16 the difficulties.Our children may not have a college 17 ,but they will certainly understand what hard work is and get what they need.They will truly understand 18 it means to have a happy family.And 19 ,at the end of each day,they will know they are 20 ,and that doesn’t cost a thing!1.A.affections B.careerC.familiesD.businessplain B.explainC.warnD.declare3.A.possible B.vitalC.convenientD.hard4.A.frightened B.amazedC.entertainedD.delighted5.A.even B.stillC.everD.yet6.A.forbad B.gotC.expectedD.wished7.A.Moreover B.MeanwhileC.BesidesD.However8.A.teaches B.rescuesC.trainsD.develops9.A.easy B.littleC.enoughD.big10.A.count B.judgeC.figureD.keepual B.regularC.unfamiliarD.special12.A.receiving B.savingC.borrowingD.raising13.A.spending B.consumingC.enjoyingD.wasting14.A.fresh B.endlessstingD.limited15.A.hit B.styleC.objectD.issue16.A.put away B.get intoe acrossD.get over17.A.fare B.costC.chargeD.fund18.A.that B.whatC.howD.which19.A.after all B.in allC.all overD.at all20.A.protected B.guardedC.lovedD.defendedⅢ. 短文改错(2016·湖北七市4月联考)Dear Jane,How’s everything going?I’m glad to have met you and become friend with you.I miss you very well and thus I’m writing to tell you anythi ng about my new life at college.My new school is so beautiful as a huge garden.There are green grass andcolourful flowers everywhere.My teachers are all kind and I believe,with time goby,I’ll make a great progress.My classmates are very friendly and I m ade many new friends here.I feel that my new life is very excited,but I also realize that it is full of challenges.I’ve decided to work hard so that I’ll have a brightly future.Of course,I’ll also do more exercise to keep fit.I’m looking forward to your r eply.Yours sincerely,Tom考点规范练(必修2 Unit 2)【短文语法填空】1.reported2.richest3.who4.by5.when6.However 7.of 8.Both 9.acting 10.theⅠ.A【解题导语】本文是说明文。
必修2 Unit 2 The Olympic Games 李仕才 Ⅰ.阅读理解
A Many wealthy and welltraveled people want a completely new experience, but they don't necessarily want to give up luxury (奢华的) accommodations and service. The following vacations could be best choices. Cruise down the Amazon River Aqua Expeditions takes up to 32 passengers at a time on guided journeys of three, four, or seven days down the Amazon River. Those adventurers see forests and waterfalls, visit local fish markets, and take canoe trips. They also take in wildlife such as capuchin monkeys and river dolphins. Go Glamping in Montana The Resort at Paws Up located on a cattle ranch(牧场) is a standout in the type. The ranch rents homes with up to four bedrooms, but it's the luxury tents that offer closer communion with the outdoors. Tents are arranged into camps, each of which has a private chef and butler, the latter of whom helps build campfires and arrange daytime activities. Guests can participate in a cattle drive, go clay shooting, take a hot air balloon trip, or ride horses. Climb inside a Volcano in Iceland Iceland is famous for its volcanoes and has plenty of luxury hotel options. Thrillseekers can actually go down into the dormant (休眠的), 700footdeep Thrihnukagigur, by using an open elevator. Take a helicopter if you want to skip the 2mile hike to the volcano, and arrange a private tour to avoid crowds. And visitors traveling there can enjoy the luxury hotel such as the ION Luxury Adventure Hotel and the Hotel Rangá. 【文章大意】'本文是一篇应用文,介绍了三个旅游项目。 1. What can adventurers do when traveling down the Amazon River? A.Enjoy individuallyguided tours. B.Travel with hot air balloons. C.Get a chance to see wildlife. D.Ride horses along the trail. 答案与解析:C 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“They also take in wildlife such as capuchin monkeys and river dolphins.”可知,沿着亚马逊河旅游的人可以有机会观看野生动物,故选C。 2. At which place can guests enjoy food quite to their taste? A.Aqua Expeditions. B.The Resort at Paws Up. C.Thrihnukagigur. D.The Hotel Rangá. 答案与解析:B 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“each of which has a private chef and butler...”可知,在The Resort at Paws Up,每个营地都配有私人厨师,由此可知,游客在这里可吃到非常符合自己口味的食物,故选B。 3.What do the three vacations have in common? A.They are adventurous. B.They are animalcentered. C.They have luxury hotel options. D.They are intended for new travelers. 答案与解析:A'考查推理判断。第一个项目提到adventurers,第二个项目提到take a hot air balloon trip, or ride horses,第三个项目提到寻求刺激的人可以下到700英尺深的休眠火山中。故这三个项目的共同点就是:adventurous(惊险的,刺激的)。 B
On Christmas Eve, 1944, my grandmother urged my uncle, then 12 years old, to slip out of the concentration camp where they were imprisoned near 15 miles east of Vienna to go to Deutsch-Wagram. “People are charitable around Christmastime,” Grandma Lili said to her son, Gyuri. “Ask for some food. Anything they can spare. Tell them that we’re on the edge of starvation. Tell them that your 3-year-old sister can not get off the bed because she’s outgrown her shoes.” In the dark of that night, Gyuri secretly left the camp and walked nearly four miles to Deutsch-Wagram, the closest town. He happened upon a house and knocked on the front door. A woman opened that door. She was probably alone, her man far away, fighting in the war, her children asleep in their beds. The 12-year-old pieced together in German exactly what his mother had told him to say. “Come back tomorrow," whispered the woman. The next day, my uncle returned. The woman opened the door with a smile. She piled his hands with bread, clothing, a pair of shoes that her child had outgrown and a pair of socks. The woman had knitted warm socks for my mother. After putting on the socks and shoes that fit, my mother got off the bed in delight. Her ragged shoes were passed on to a younger child who was also living in the camp. They shared their unexpected harvest with the entire camp. It was a quiet celebration of human kindness around Christmastime. In April 1945, my mother, uncle and grandmother were liberated. And it was those very socks and shoes that my mother wore as she walked some 28 miles over two days to Bratislava on her walk to a new life. To the unknown giver, I thank you. In the desperation of a cold and snowy land, when many hearts were closed and death was more likely than life, especially for Jews, you gave them hope and comfort. 1.What did Gyuri manage to do on Christmas Eve? A. Get permitted to go out. B. Receive food and clothing. C. Express what his family needed. D. Celebrate Christmas in the camp 2.Why does the author mention shoes so many times? A. To prove the truth of the story. B. To help the development of the story. C. To attract readers’ attention to the story. D. To make clear the background of the story. 3.What feeling did the author write the text with? A. Desperation B. Gratefulness. C. Excitement D. Sorrow. 4.What is the passage mainly about? A. Light in darkness B. Peace to common people C. Courage in face of danger D. The influence of Christmas 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了1944年圣诞前夕,奶奶一家在集中营里日子艰难,迫不得已12岁的叔叔秘密走出集中营去附近的村庄求助,一位善良的女士给予了他们一家一些物质上的帮助。这位好心人的善举给了过着暗无天日的日子的奶奶一家不仅是物质上的帮助还有对未来的希望,最终一家人坚持到光明的到来。
