篇章导读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,主要讲述了作者的阅读故事,鼓励大家多读书。
1.have got/gotten 考查动词的时态。由句中的时间状语“since a young age (自从小时候以来)”可知,句子用现在完成时。
2.its 考查代词。修饰名词一般用形容词,本句中表示“阅读的美”故用形容词性物主代词its修饰名词beauty,作定语。
3.named 考查非谓语动词。name和句子谓语bought之间没有连词,故用非谓语动词,且a book和name之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。
4.patiently 考查词性转换。本句中应用副词patiently修饰动词explained。
5.feelings 考查词性转换。根据and可知,此处与thoughts并列,故用名词形式,feeling在本句中意为“看法,意见”为可数名词,故填feelings。
6.deepest 考查形容词的最高级。与“Among all the books”和定冠词the呼应,此处用形容词的最高级形式,修饰名词impression。]
7.but 考查连词。根据语境可知,上下文语意之间为转折关系,故用连词but。
8.to overcome 考查非谓语动词。固定搭配manage to do sth.意为“设法完成某事”,故填不定式。
9.in 考查介词。固定搭配be absorbed in sth.意为“专注于某事”,故用介词in。
10.that/which 考查定语从句的引导词。所填词引导定语从句,从句修饰先行词the benefits,关系词在从句中作宾语,故应填that/which。
Ⅳ.短文改错
(2019·湖南省三湘名校教育联盟高三第一次大联考)Last Sunday, my family went for walk in a nearby park. We wanted to breathe the fresh air and having fun there. However when going out, we find it was cloudy and smoggy. Only a few people were walking quick on the streets wearing their masks. I was wondering why was the matter when my little brother began to cough loudly. Suddenly I realized that it was air pollution. So we had to go to home that day. Smoke from cars, buses, and factories make the air dirty,that is harmful to our health. I think they all should do some thing to keep the air clean.
答案:
Last Sunday, my family went for walk in a nearby park. We wanted to breathe the fresh air and fun there. However when going out, we it was cloudy and smoggy. Only a few people were walking on the streets wearing their masks. I was wondering was the matter when my little brother began to cough loudly. Suddenly I realized that it was air pollution. So we had to go home that day. Smoke from cars, buses, and factories the air dirty, is harmful to our health. I think all should do some to keep the air clean.
难项分析:
第一处:walk前加a 考查固定短语。go for a walk “散步”。句意:上周日,我们一家去附近的公园散步。
第五处:why→what 考查宾语从句的连接词。句意:我想知道发生了什么事情。这里连接一个宾语从句,且在从句中作主语,意为“什么”,所以why改为what。
第七处:make→makes 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。表示一个客观的事实,用一般现在时;smoke作“烟雾”讲时,是不可数名词,所以谓语动词用单数,故将make改为makes。

(2020·吉林省梅河口市高三上学期联考)
Best Way to Save Money
Although the best way to save money can vary from person to person, depending on age, family size and other characteristics, there are still some easy things that all shoppers can do to keep more money in their bank accounts.
Avoid Impulse (冲动的) Purchases
When you shop, a best way to save money is to have a plan in mind to help you avoid impulse purchases. For instance, you might leave your credit cards at home and only carry the exact amount of cash that you will need for your planned purchase. Some shoppers agree to discuss any purchases over a certain dollar amount with their spouses (配偶) first.
Know When to Pay for Quality
Sometimes the best way to save money in the long term is to spend a little more money right now. A good piece of furniture can stay in the family for decades. A highquality pair of shoes will last longer than a bargain pair and prevent foot pain. Leaner cuts of meat and organic produce provide health benefits for your family.
Buy Secondhand
Check classified ads, thrift stores and garage sales for used clothing, toys, furniture, and much more available at a part of their original cost. For the most secondhand savings, check out groups like Freecycle where members offer unwanted items for free to anyone willing to pick them up.
Borrow Instead of Buy
If you're only going to use something once, try to borrow it instead of spending your money on it. Borrow a tool from your neighbor. Swap books with a friend. Check out the resources at your local library. You'll also be reducing disorder in your home.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种省钱的好方法。
1.What should you do to avoid buying unplanned things?
A.Think twice before you buy.
B.Ask if you really need them.
C.Turn to your friends for help.
D.Never take extra money with you.

(2020·河北衡水中学高三第一次联考)Lebanese filmmaker Nadine Labaki has become the first female artist in the Arab world to be nominated (提名) for an Academy Award, or Oscar.
Labaki directed the film Capernaum, a film about a Syrian refugee (难民) boy and a Kenyan baby who live without parents on the streets of Beirut. It was nominated for best foreign language film.
Labaki will be one of the few female directors to compete for an Oscar this year. She told The Associated Press “I wish there were a lot more women filmmakers this year represented,nominated in the Oscars. But I am sure in a few years we won't be having this problem anymore.”
Unlike in the West, women filmmakers are industry leaders in Lebanon.
Capernaum received a 15minute standing ovation (热烈欢迎) at this year's Cannes Film Festival. It won the Jury Prize—the thirdhighest award given at Cannes.
The United Nations has publicly praised the film. Lebanon's Foreign Minister said Capernaum put a Lebanese touch on the international film industry.
The Oscar nomination of Capernaum is the second for Lebanon in two years in the film group. It demonstrates the country's rising star power.
Labaki called making the movie a lifechanging experience. She said Capernaum helps humanize the real struggles of refugees only briefly talked about in the news.
“We can't help but acknowledge that there is a fear of refugees in general around the world and there are these walls we are building, and this fear keeps growing,” Labaki said.
Capernaum will compete against four other films for the Oscar, including awards season favorite Roma. Directed by Mexico's Alfonso Cuaron, it earned 10 Oscar nominations, including for best picture.
篇章导读:本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了黎巴嫩女导演Nadine Labaki及其导演的电影Capernaum的相关情况。
4.Where does Labaki come from?

答案:C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Lebanese film maker”可知,Nadine Labaki是黎巴嫩人,故答案为C。
5.What do we know from Labaki's words in Paragraph 3?
A.Few women directors have been nominated in the Oscars.
B.She was the first female artist to compete for an Oscar.
C.More women directors will enter for Oscar this year.
D.Female directors have problems with their films.
答案:A 推理判断题。根据Labaki的话可知,她希望今年能有更多的女导演被提名奥斯卡奖,并希望今后不再有类似问题。由此可以推断近几年没有几位女性导演被提名奥斯卡奖,故答案为A。
6.Which of the following best describes Capernaum?
A.It is the best foreign language film.
B.It shows the rising power of women.
C.It has won the first prize at Cannes.
D.It is highly thought of.

7.What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Capernaum. B.The Oscar.
C.Roma. D.Best picture.
答案:C 指代判断题。上句的最后提到了非常受欢迎的电影Roma, 然后本句就谈到这部电影是由谁导演,并获得十项提名。由此可知,此处it指代电影Roma,故答案为C。

Recently I've read book named The Ordinary World, written by a Chinese writer, Lu Yao. The book focused on what had happened in the change of society from 1975 to 1985. Which impressed me most is the two brothers, Sun Shao'an and Sun Shaoping. They were the example of those peasant who struggled in life without any complaint. Face with difficulties, they determined to create a new life instead of giving up. They said,“Regardless of what the outcome will be, badly or good, we will not regret, so if we don't go for it, we will regret all our lives.” I hold the same view like them.
From now on, whenever I meet difficulties, I will try his best to overcome them.

1.book前加a 考查冠词。因为后面的名词是book,可数名词前需要加冠词。
2.去掉had 考查动词的时态。时间状语是“from 1975 to 1985”,用一般过去时。
3.Which→What 考查主语从句的引导词。what引导主语从句,并在该从句中用作主语。
4.is→were 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。上文是what引导的主语从句,但是表语是复数名词,此时谓语动词要与表语部分保持一致。
5.peasant→peasants 考查名词。前面those指代复数,故将peasant改为peasants。
6.Face→Faced 考查非谓语动词。Faced with difficulties=When they were faced with difficulties,此处是状语从句的省略,省略后过去分词短语用作状语。
7.badly→bad 考查形容词。bad or good “无论好坏”,是并列成分,用在系动词后作表语,所以用形容词。
8.so→but/yet 考查连接词。上下文构成逻辑上的转折关系。
9.like→as 考查固定用法。the same ... as ... “与……一样”。
10.his→my 考查代词。与句子的主语I在人称上保持一致。

篇章导读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,主要讲述了作者的阅读故事,鼓励大家多读书。
1.have got/gotten 考查动词的时态。由句中的时间状语“since a young age (自从小时候以来)”可知,句子用现在完成时。
2.its 考查代词。修饰名词一般用形容词,本句中表示“阅读的美”故用形容词性物主代词its修饰名词beauty,作定语。
3.named 考查非谓语动词。name和句子谓语bought之间没有连词,故用非谓语动词,且a book和name之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。
4.patiently 考查词性转换。本句中应用副词patiently修饰动词explained。
5.feelings 考查词性转换。根据and可知,此处与thoughts并列,故用名词形式,feeling在本句中意为“看法,意见”为可数名词,故填feelings。
6.deepest 考查形容词的最高级。与“Among all the books”和定冠词the呼应,此处用形容词的最高级形式,修饰名词impression。]
7.but 考查连词。根据语境可知,上下文语意之间为转折关系,故用连词but。
8.to overcome 考查非谓语动词。固定搭配manage to do sth.意为“设法完成某事”,故填不定式。
9.in 考查介词。固定搭配be absorbed in sth.意为“专注于某事”,故用介词in。
10.that/which 考查定语从句的引导词。所填词引导定语从句,从句修饰先行词the benefits,关系词在从句中作宾语,故应填that/which。

(2019·湖南省三湘名校教育联盟高三第一次大联考)Last Sunday, my family went for walk in a nearby park. We wanted to breathe the fresh air and having fun there. However when going out, we find it was cloudy and smoggy. Only a few people were walking quick on the streets wearing their masks. I was wondering why was the matter when my little brother began to cough loudly. Suddenly I realized that it was air pollution. So we had to go to home that day. Smoke from cars, buses, and factories make the air dirty,that is harmful to our health. I think they all should do some thing to keep the air clean.
答案:
Last Sunday, my family went for walk in a nearby park. We wanted to breathe the fresh air and fun there. However when going out, we it was cloudy and smoggy. Only a few people were walking on the streets wearing their masks. I was wondering was the matter when my little brother began to cough loudly. Suddenly I realized that it was air pollution. So we had to go home that day. Smoke from cars, buses, and factories the air dirty, is harmful to our health. I think all should do some to keep the air clean.
难项分析:
第一处:walk前加a 考查固定短语。go for a walk “散步”。句意:上周日,我们一家去附近的公园散步。
第五处:why→what 考查宾语从句的连接词。句意:我想知道发生了什么事情。这里连接一个宾语从句,且在从句中作主语,意为“什么”,所以why改为what。
第七处:make→makes 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。表示一个客观的事实,用一般现在时;smoke作“烟雾”讲时,是不可数名词,所以谓语动词用单数,故将make改为makes。

(2020·吉林省梅河口市高三上学期联考)
Best Way to Save Money
Although the best way to save money can vary from person to person, depending on age, family size and other characteristics, there are still some easy things that all shoppers can do to keep more money in their bank accounts.
Avoid Impulse (冲动的) Purchases
When you shop, a best way to save money is to have a plan in mind to help you avoid impulse purchases. For instance, you might leave your credit cards at home and only carry the exact amount of cash that you will need for your planned purchase. Some shoppers agree to discuss any purchases over a certain dollar amount with their spouses (配偶) first.
Know When to Pay for Quality
Sometimes the best way to save money in the long term is to spend a little more money right now. A good piece of furniture can stay in the family for decades. A highquality pair of shoes will last longer than a bargain pair and prevent foot pain. Leaner cuts of meat and organic produce provide health benefits for your family.
Buy Secondhand
Check classified ads, thrift stores and garage sales for used clothing, toys, furniture, and much more available at a part of their original cost. For the most secondhand savings, check out groups like Freecycle where members offer unwanted items for free to anyone willing to pick them up.
Borrow Instead of Buy
If you're only going to use something once, try to borrow it instead of spending your money on it. Borrow a tool from your neighbor. Swap books with a friend. Check out the resources at your local library. You'll also be reducing disorder in your home.

(2020·河北衡水中学高三第一次联考)Lebanese filmmaker Nadine Labaki has become the first female artist in the Arab world to be nominated (提名) for an Academy Award, or Oscar.
Labaki directed the film Capernaum, a film about a Syrian refugee (难民) boy and a Kenyan baby who live without parents on the streets of Beirut. It was nominated for best foreign language film.
Labaki will be one of the few female directors to compete for an Oscar this year. She told The Associated Press “I wish there were a lot more women filmmakers this year represented,nominated in the Oscars. But I am sure in a few years we won't be having this problem anymore.”
Unlike in the West, women filmmakers are industry leaders in Lebanon.
Capernaum received a 15minute standing ovation (热烈欢迎) at this year's Cannes Film Festival. It won the Jury Prize—the thirdhighest award given at Cannes.
The United Nations has publicly praised the film. Lebanon's Foreign Minister said Capernaum put a Lebanese touch on the international film industry.
The Oscar nomination of Capernaum is the second for Lebanon in two years in the film group. It demonstrates the country's rising star power.
Labaki called making the movie a lifechanging experience. She said Capernaum helps humanize the real struggles of refugees only briefly talked about in the news.
“We can't help but acknowledge that there is a fear of refugees in general around the world and there are these walls we are building, and this fear keeps growing,” Labaki said.
Capernaum will compete against four other films for the Oscar, including awards season favorite Roma. Directed by Mexico's Alfonso Cuaron, it earned 10 Oscar nominations, including for best picture.

Ⅲ.短文改错
Recently I've read book named The Ordinary World, written by a Chinese writer, Lu Yao. The book focused on what had happened in the change of society from 1975 to 1985. Which impressed me most is the two brothers, Sun Shao'an and Sun Shaoping. They were the example of those peasant who struggled in life without any complaint. Face with difficulties, they determined to create a new life instead of giving up. They said,“Regardless of what the outcome will be, badly or good, we will not regret, so if we don't go for it, we will regret all our lives.” I hold the same view like them.
From now on, whenever I meet difficulties, I will try his best to overcome them.
答案:

1.book前加a 考查冠词。因为后面的名词是book,可数名词前需要加冠词。
2.去掉had 考查动词的时态。时间状语是“from 1975 to 1985”,用一般过去时。
3.Which→What 考查主语从句的引导词。what引导主语从句,并在该从句中用作主语。
4.is→were 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。上文是what引导的主语从句,但是表语是复数名词,此时谓语动词要与表语部分保持一致。
5.peasant→peasants 考查名词。前面those指代复数,故将peasant改为peasants。
6.Face→Faced 考查非谓语动词。Faced with difficulties=When they were faced with difficulties,此处是状语从句的省略,省略后过去分词短语用作状语。
7.badly→bad 考查形容词。bad or good “无论好坏”,是并列成分,用在系动词后作表语,所以用形容词。
8.so→but/yet 考查连接词。上下文构成逻辑上的转折关系。
9.like→as 考查固定用法。the same ... as ... “与……一样”。
10.his→my 考查代词。与句子的主语I在人称上保持一致。
