2019版高考英语一轮优化探究（话题部分）练习：话题15 选修8 Unit 4 Pygmalion(含解析)

Ⅰ.语法填空When I was starting my own business，I always asked those successful businessmen either offline 1.or online about their experience.The best advice I ever got was similar to this statement：You are 2.responsible (respond) for your own experience.Soon I realized that this is true for everything in life.In my opinion，one of the mistakes that we make as 3.humans (human) is to look up to someone as our“role model”.4.Though/Although/While the concept of “role model” is good，what it can potentially lead to can be dangerous.We always try to convince 5.ourselves (we) that if we copy their success story then we will naturally end 6.up with the same success.This isn't true at all.It's their experience that made them what they are.You can't repeat that.Once I 7.opened (open) a firm to make electronic devices，and I regarded Bill Gates as my role model.I had thought that years later I would be as successful as him.But the result was just contrary to my 8.expectation(expect)，and I failed.As time went on，I realized that different persons have different strong points，abilities and capabilities.So stop 9.trying (try) to copy others' experiences，but build your own.Enjoy what life throws at you and make the 10.best (well) of it.Ⅱ.短文改错I am writing to express my deeply regret.I am so sorry that I will not be able to attend a lecture that you will give on American history tomorrow afternoon.My uncle is returning home from abroad but I have promised to meet him at the airport on 3：30 p．m.tomorrow.I'm very interesting in American history and society.I wondered if it is possible for the talk be recorded.And if such，could I borrow it? It would mean a great deal of to me to listen to the tape and learn what is covering in the talk.答案：I am writing to express my  regret.I am so sorry that I will not be able to attend  lecture that you will give on American history tomorrow afternoon.My uncle is returning home from abroad  I have promised to meet him at the airport  3：30 p．m.tomorrow.I'm very  in American history and society.I  if it is possible for the talk  be recorded.And if ，could I borrow it?
