www.ks5u.comUnit 2　What is happiness to you?能力提升题组训练Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018广州高三调研)Paloma sat at a computer in the school library.She stared at the blank screen and the blinking cursor.She rummaged around in her backpack for a rubber band,and then she pulled her hair into a thick ponytail.Paloma looked at the computer screen.It was still blank.She sighed and flipped through her notebook to reread the assignment Mr.Molina had given the class three weeks ago.It was due in just two days,and Paloma knew that she couldn’t procrastinate any longer.Write a creative short story using an experience that you have had recently, Paloma read.Your story should include two examples of figurative language.Paloma and her family had recently taken a trip along North Carolina’s coast.They had visited four different lighthouses,and Paloma wondered what it would be like to live in a lighthouse.She knew that before lighthouses were automated,they were run by a lighthouse keeper who lived on the premises.Paloma thought she’d love to be a lighthouse keeper.Without thinking about it any longer,Paloma began to write the story.I sat with my cat Sadie curled on my lap and looked out the window at the crashing waves.The heavy rain beat against my lighthouse like a thousand footsteps racing up and down the walls.I held Sadie closer,and she let out a small meow of displeasure.I knew that the coming storm could not be too dangerous if Sadie was still acting normally.I had read that animals can sense changes in weather and will seek shelter from a tornado or hurricane.I was relying on Sadie’s calmness to get me through my first hurricane on the island.I knew that my lighthouse was sturdily built.It had survived more than one hundred years’ worth of hurricanes and tropical storms.There was no reason to believe that it couldn’t survive another.I looked up at the staircase that spiraled above me and worried as I felt the tower sway slightly in a gust of wind.Paloma stopped and reread what she had just written.She smiled to herself in delight,saved her story,and then settled into her chair to continue writing.She wasn’t sure what was going to happen next,but she knew that if she kept going,the story would continue to tell itself.Paloma couldn’t wait to find out where it would take her.1.Why is Paloma feeling anxious at the beginning of the passage?A.She hasn’t much time left to do her writing task.B.She doesn’t know the details of her writing task.C.She has completely forgotten about her writing task.D.She doesn’t know what is wrong with her computer.2.What is the inspiration for Paloma’s story idea?A.Her cat.   B.Her teacher.   C.Her trip.      D.Her dream.3.In Paloma’s story,how does the lighthouse keeper decide if the storm is dangerous?A.By listening to the weather report.   B.By watching the crashing waves.C.By observing the cat’s behaviour.D.By measuring the movement of the lighthouse.4.As described in the final paragraph,how does Paloma feel after she has written the first part of her story?A.Confused.  B.Excited.   C.Relieved.   D.Determined.语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了Paloma因完成不了写作任务而苦恼时,她和家人的一次旅行给了她灵感。答案及剖析:1.A　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“She sighed and flipped through her notebook to reread the assignment Mr.Molina had given the class three weeks ago.It was due in just two days,and Paloma knew that she couldn’t procrastinate any longer.”可知,Paloma盯着空白的电脑焦虑,是因为Mr.Molina布置的写作任务的交稿日期即将到来,而她不能再拖延了。2.C　细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,Paloma和家人最近去了北卡罗莱纳州的海岸,他们参观了四个不同的灯塔,这趟旅行启发了她,于是她开始写与灯塔有关的故事,因此是这次旅行给了她写作灵感。3.C　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I knew that the coming storm...and will seek shelter”可知,如果即将到来的暴风雨不太危险的话,Sadie(猫)就会表现比较正常,因为动物可感知剧烈的天气变化且作出应急反应。所以灯塔看守人能根据猫的行为判断暴风雨的危险程度。4.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“She smiled to herself in delight”和“Paloma couldn’t wait to find out where it would take her”可知,Paloma对自己写的故事很满意且迫不急待地想知道故事会如何发展。所以可推知,Paloma此时感觉比较兴奋。B(2018湖南湘潭高三三模)Life satisfaction is the way persons evaluate their lives and how they feel about their directions and options for the future.It’s a measure of well-being and may be evaluated in terms of mood,satisfaction with relations with others and with achieved goals and self-concepts to cope with daily life.It’s having a favorable attitude towards one’s life as a whole rather than just an evaluation of current feelings.Life satisfaction has been measured in relation to economy,education, experiences,and residence,as well as many other topics.Life satisfaction can reflect experiences that have influenced a person in a positive way.These experiences have the ability to motivate people to pursue and reach their goals.As a matter of fact,in these experiences there are two kinds of emotions that may positively influence how people understand their life.Hope and optimism both consist of emotional processes that are usually directed towards the reaching of goals.People who have higher life satisfaction are always full of hope for a better future;additionally,optimism is linked to higher life satisfaction, while pessimism is related to symptoms in depression.The psychologist,Yuval Palgi,studied the old-old-people who were primarily in their nineties.This subject group was found to have thought highly of their past and present,but they thought lower of their future.A large factor that was talked about in life satisfaction was intelligence.The experiments talk of how life satisfaction grows as people become older because they become wiser and more knowledgeable,so they begin to see that life will be better as they grow older and understand the important things in life more.But when they step into their nineties,future becomes a luxury to them.According to Seligman,the happier people are,the less they are focused on the negative.Happier people also have a greater tendency to like other people,which promotes a happier environment,which then correlates to a higher level of the persons’ satisfaction with their life.5.What can we learn about life satisfaction from Paragraph 1?A.It can be easily measured through income and education.B.It includes a positive attitude towards people’s entire life.C.It merely determines people’s attitude towards the future.D.It has nothing to do with the evaluation of current feelings.6.What emotions have a positive effect on life satisfaction?A.Motivation and dream.  B.Hope and depression.C.Optimism and pessimism. D.Hope and optimism.7.What was the attitude of most old-old towards their future?A.They were less hopeful about it.   B.They thought highly of it.C.They felt satisfied with it.       D.They were scared of it.语篇解读:本文是议论文,论述了生活的满足感是人们的生活更加幸福的关键。答案及剖析:5.B　细节理解题。根据第一段第三句话中的“It’s having a favorable attitude towards one’s life as a whole...”可知,生活的满足感包括人们对整个生活的积极肯定的态度,故选B。6.D　细节理解题。根据第二段第三、四句话...there are two kinds of emotions that may positively influence how people understand their life.Hope and optimism both consist of emotional processes that are usually directed towards the reaching of goals.可知应选D。7.A　推理判断题。根据第三段第二句话中的“...but they thought lower of their future.” 可知大多数old-old对他们的未来不太乐观,故选A。Ⅱ.语法填空The Great Wall was grand,a little rainy at first,but grand all the same.The mist covered the far ends of the wall,1.　　　　(give) it an almost mysterious feeling. The fog rolled in and out of the high mountains,revealing new parts of the wall as 2.　　　　(quick) as it covered them.I kept on walking,seeing watchtower after watchtower 3.　　　　my way.To my 4.　　　　(relieve),many people had decided today was not the best day 5.　　　　(climb) the wall,and I was there with very few people.I walked for 6.　　　　 seemed like miles.Then I saw just how long the wall I was standing on stretched for. It was 7.　　　　(end)!I walked and walked,but after every hill I climbed,there was another long stretch of wall.I eventually came to 8.　　　　 long staircase. Later I found out that it 9.　　　　(call)“Chairman Mao’s Challenge”.I accepted,and after climbing the hundred plus stairs to the peak,I had to admit that the Great Wall truly lives up to its reputation.So if I 10.　　　　(have) another chance to travel to China,I would never hesitate to visit the Great Wall again. 答案及剖析:1.giving　考查非谓语动词。薄雾弥漫了长城的远端,赋予它一种近乎神秘的感觉。give与其逻辑主语The mist为主谓关系,故应用其现在分词形式在句中作结果状语。2.quickly　考查副词。雾气在高山上翻腾起伏,长城时隐时现。此处为as+形容词/副词+as...结构,在本句中应用副词修饰动词。3.on/along　考查介词。我继续行走,沿途看见一个接一个的烽火台。on/along one’s way“沿途”。4.relief　考查名词。“to one’s+表示情感的名词”是固定用法,意为“令某人……的是”。relieve的名词是relief,意为“轻松,解脱,宽慰”。5.to climb　考查非谓语动词。当名词前有the only,the best,the first,the last等修饰语时,其后常跟动词不定式作后置定语。6.what　考查宾语从句。我似乎步行了数英里。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中引导宾语从句,且在从句中作主语,故填what。7.endless　考查形容词。长城是无边无际的。根据句意及句子结构可知,此处应用形容词作表语,故填endless“无止境的,无垠的”。8.a　考查冠词。我最终来到一个长长的楼梯前。staircase作“楼梯”讲时是可数名词,且其前无限定词修饰,故应用不定冠词a表示泛指。9.was called　考查时态和语态。it(指代a long staircase)与call之间存在被动关系,故用被动语态。再结合本文的基本时态为一般过去时可知,此处也应用一般过去时。10.had　考查时态。因此如果我再有机会去中国旅行的话,我一定会毫不犹豫地再去参观长城的。本句是if引导的条件状语从句,主句是过去将来时,从句时态为过去时。Ⅲ.短文改错(2018广州高三综合测试)　　The summer job is a tradition among American university students.Long after the end of the school year,students start their summer vacation job search.They send letters to businesses,going to job interviews,and ask our friends and relatives for help.By June the students usually have been found their jobs and then they begin preparing to enter the world of works.Reasons for wanting a summer job differs from student to student.Some work help pay their school expenses,others work to gain experience in their chosen professions; still others work just for the funny of it.Salesmen or waiters are two of the much common jobs that students try to find during the summer months.答案:The summer job is a tradition among American university students.Long the end of the school year,students start their summer vacation job search.They send letters to businesses, to job interviews,and ask friends and relatives for help.By June the students usually have  found their jobs and then they begin preparing to enter the world of .Reasons for wanting a summer job from student to student.Some work help pay their school expenses,others work to gain experience in their chosen professions; still others work just for the of it.Salesmen waiters are two of the common jobs that students try to find during the summer months.剖析:long before固定搭配,意为“早就;在……的很久以前”。陈述当前的行为,与send,ask时态、形式保持一致。根据语境可知,此处指的是“他们的”朋友和亲戚。the students和find之间为主动关系。work表示“工作”时不可数。Reasons为复数,谓语动词也应用复数。to do表目的。定冠词the后,of前应用名词形式,fun作名词,表示“乐趣”。Salesmen和waiters是并列关系。分析句子结构可知,此处the加形容词最高级修饰jobs,表示“最常见的”工作。
