Unit 19 Language(60分钟81分)Part A一、阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2分,满分16分)AHaving experienced a shocking electrical accident,which caused him to become both blind and deaf,James Franco’s world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years.The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life.His family,especially his wife,did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon,he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once.He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet,but he was struck by the lightning.Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20 minutes later,lying face down in muddy water.He was trembling badly,but when he opened his eyes,he could hardly believe what he saw:a tree and a muddy road.When Mrs Franco came running up to him,shouting to their neighbors to call for help,he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him.Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning.However,none of them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen.The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that,since James lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock,perhaps,the only way for him to regain them was another sudden shock.(2015·贵州七校联盟联考)1.The reason why James attempted to kill himself was that .A.a terrible electrical accident happened to himB.nobody in the whole world cared about himC.he was struck by the lightning once moreD.he had to live in a dark and silent world2.What was James doing when he was struck by the lightning?A.Taking a walk with a stick.B.Putting an end to his life.C.Sheltering from the rain under a tree.D.Lying on the ground.3.What does the underlined word “compellent” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Unexplained.B.Convincing.C.Wrong.D.True.4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.A terrible electrical accidentB.What a sudden shockC.An unforgettable experienceD.James Franco and his wife【文章大意】本文是记叙文。

Unit 19 Language(B)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2021·辽宁大连双基测试)For many people ,being on the job might just sound like a picnic compared to a day at home filled with housework ,meals and childcare.Even for those with a happy family life ,home can sometimes feel more taxing than work.In a new study ,researchers at Penn State University found significantly and consistently lower levels of cortisol(皮质醇) released in response to stress ,in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home.This was true for both men and women ,and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work.But women were more likely to report feeling happier there.Men were more likely to feel happier at home.Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many. "Paid work is more valued in society ,〞says Sarah Damaske, the lead researcher on the study. "Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.〞We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards.Yet none of us ,no matter how long we've been doing it ,ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.The support and friendship of coworkers also offer stress relief.At home ,meanwhile ,stress spreads and accumulates quickly. "That's the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners ,〞Dr.Damaske says.Much of the advice to families and couples includes the warning to leave work stress at the office and even to change our mindset from work to home ,for example ,a walk around the block.The recent findings ,though ,suggest our home life ,not our attitude ,might be due for some change.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一项研究

have.In fact ,it is something like playing the saxophone. 1 So read on to know how.·Be more curious.It's important to seek out new viewpoints every day. 2 To involve this in your daily life ,make sure to keep an open mind when you're presented with an idea ,and be curious as to what else is around the corner.·Give yourself space.Letting every piece of information into your brain drags you from being creative.Try to apply a level of space into your everyday life. 3 It helps to lead your thinking patterns away from potential distractions(使人分心的事物) ,leaving much room to have creative ideas.·Try something new.Frequent thinking patterns ,in effect ,cause you to be more likely to think the same things or make the same decisions over and over unless you get out of your comfort zone. 4 Though not always easy ,it does open up a whole new world of thinking!· 5Social media has created an environment where we're constantly shown whether we've succeeded in the form of likes or comments ,which leads us to doubt ourselves.However ,creativity is a journey ,and you're learning every step of the way.Honestly ,you'll learn much more from that than a straight win anyway.So be confident and tell yourself you have already done well enough.A．Learn from failure.B．Remind yourself you're good enough.C．The 8 p．m. -8 a．m.phone ban is a great way to begin.D．Getting physical really helps to sort out your brain space.E．But it's not easy to feel or be automatically creative either.F．Thus you can think and approach things from another angle.G．Using your skills in a different area is a great way to think outside the box.【语篇解读】本文介绍了几种如何使自己变得更有创造力的方法 .1．E[下文提到它有点像吹奏萨克斯 ,设空处应该介绍如何像萨克斯 ,主语应该与上文一致 ,但意义上转折 ,以便引出下文的建议 .应选E项 .]2．F[本段主题是更好奇 .设空前提到每天寻找新的观点很重要 ,F项(这样你可以从不同的角度思考和处理问题)与上文一致 ,也与下文的to keep an

高考题型提能练十九 Unit 19 LanguageⅠ.阅读理解AI sat with a friend a few weeks ago as she scrolled through photos of her college freshman daughter on her phone. She asked me, “Doesn't she look happy? She looks OK, right？” Her daughter had recently had a difficult tim e, which was now over, but her mother —like all mothers would —still worried, sometimes, that something might be wrong.For generations of parents, sending children off to college meant knowing little to nothing about how their children were doing. Other than the occasional letter or call from a dorm room phone, children who had left home were mostly unseen and heard from infrequently. College kids could get into all kinds of trouble and their parents would know nothing about it until Christmas vacation or summer break.Now, of course, that's not at all how it is. Parents of college students can spend hour upon hour examining photos on Instagram or Facebook of their children. They look for hints of sadness in their eyes, the way their clothes fit, whether they're really smiling or just sort of smiling.However, I don't think it's necessary. College is a time of intense personal growth. Pain is a necessary lesson for the emotional leap from childhood to adulthood. Mothers shouldn't be able to see photos in real time that capture their children when they're at their worst — whether because of too much alcohol or too little happiness.The blessing of social media is the ability to connect at any time with your child, no matter where he or she may be in the world. Facebook, Instagram and the rest are keeping our helicopters flying long after they should have landed. Maybe it would be better for all of us to be a little less aware of the state of our children's lives once they leave home. Better for the children, and certainly better for the parents.1.That friend scrolled through photos on her phone most probably because she ________.A.was bored and wanted to kill the timeB.wanted to make sure her daughter was alrightC.wanted to help her daughter through the difficultyD.was sure something was wrong with her daughter2.What does Paragraph 2 tell us about parents of college students in the past?A.They were often worried about their children.B.They usually let their children do whatever they liked.C.They were usually too busy to care about their children.D.They lacked means of knowing about their children's situation.3.What does the writer think of children's experiencing pain at college?A.It is helpless.B.It is necessary.C.It is nonsense.D.It should be prevented.4.The passage is written to show that ________.A.children don't really have freedom at collegeB.social media make our life much easier than beforeC.today's parents contact their children more frequentlyD.parents shouldn't follow their children at college through social mediaBPeople in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver. Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida, Nevada and California. They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road. The high tech company Google has a number of selfdriving cars, which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August. Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020.In September, California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state. “Today we're looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality —the driverless car.” The technology for these cars includes cameras, radar and motion sensors. The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U. S. government agency DARPA. Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races.Cars have become much more fuelefficient, and new electronic features are making Hondas safer, said Angie Nucci of Honda America. “A camera on the passengerside mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes.” Other safety features include war ning systems on the front and the sides of the cars. These systems help drivers, but don't replace them. Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer.“By taking out drivers, you also remove most risks of an accident，” Kendall said. He said, “Consumers, however, may be unwilling to lose control. It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable, but it will have to prove itself first.”Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable. He said this will happen as the technology is improved.5.According to the passage, California Governor Jerry Brown ________.A.is for the idea of having driverless carsB.sponsored the DARPA competition to improve the driverless systemC.has already bought a new autonomous carD.thinks that driving safety is the most important issue in his state6.What is the role of the systems mentioned in Paragraph 3?A.They can help cars run much faster.B.They can take the place of drivers now.C.They can make cars run without fuel.D.They can help people drive more safely.7.In Kendall's opinion, who probably don't rely on the driverless cars at first?A.Managers in the high tech company Google.B.Officers from the U. S. government agency DARPA.C.Car consumers.D.Vehicle designers.8.According to Richard Mason, what is the biggest challenge for driverless cars?A.They need to have more comfortable seats.B.They are now too expensive for consumers.C.They are travelling at a low speed.D.They are not favored by car racers.COne afternoon last week, I saw three tearful children from my son's school being comforted by teachers.That m orning, my 11yearold son had stomach pains, retching (干呕) into a bowl.Talking to other mothers later, I heard about other children with stomachache or difficulty sleeping the night before.What caused so much pain？Sports day.Sports day might be necessary at a highlycompetitive independent school, but not at a village primary school.For the children who can fly like the wind, sports day causes no problem.For those who are overweight or just not good at sport, it is a nightmare (噩梦).Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents, it can prove a disaster.Why do we put our children through this annual suffering？Some may say competition is character building; or it's taking part, not winning, that's important；or that it is a tradition of school life.I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm, lots of shouting — and were fun to watch.More importantly, the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyone's eyes.Some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side.I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other lesscompetitive event.Perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch.9.What can we learn about the author's son from Paragraph 1?A.He talked with some mothers.B.He comforted his classmates.C.He had difficulty in sleeping.D.He suffered from stomachache.10.Sports day is still an annual event in this school probably because________.A.this is an independent schoolB.it is a tradition of the schoolC.it helps children lose weightD.children enjoy watching sports11.What does the author think about team games?A.They should include more stressful races.B.They are acceptable to different children.C.They should be abandoned at primary schools.D.They are less fun for those who love running.12.What is the author's attitude towards sports day?A.Critical.B.Neutral.C.Positive.D.Ambiguous.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(2016·江西省吉安市模拟)1.________ You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how：Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. 2.________ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class. 3.________ Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 4.________ If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meani ngful, and you'll r emember it longer.Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't be over worried.5.________ You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.A.There are other methods that might help you with your studying.B.Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.C.Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.D.No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.E.Maybe you are an average student.F.Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.G.This will help you understand the next class.Ⅲ.语法填空(2016·太原市第二学段测评)When I was ten years old, I broke my arm. My parentswere really busy with their work, so they took me to my 1.________ (grandparent) and asked my grandma to help look after me.At that time my grandma 2.________ (teach) at a school which was just a few miles from her house.

Unit 19 LanguageⅠ.阅读理解AIf you feel at present that you don't have enough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have. Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment. Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don't get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have.Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?If you haven't seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?If the main reason why you haven't been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?If you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over committed because you never say “No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be left to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities.

1．The author quotes Thoreau's words at the beginning to ．A．arouse readers' interest in artB．introduce the topic of the textC．stress the importance of lookingD．illustrate the joy of art appreciationB[考查推理判断。
根据“Why slow？”部分中的“The most important...see and experience art without an expert”并结合全文大意可知，本文介绍慢艺术日的情况，因此文章开头引用梭罗的话是为了引入主题。
]2．A typical slow art activity ．A．lasts about fifty minutes when people look at art works criticallyB．encourages people to see art for themselves and discuss with expertsC．organizes people to look at art on their own and talk about their experience D．inspires people to make discoveries about art works and create their own works C[考查细节理解。
根据“How does it work？”部分中的“Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to talk about their experience”可知，在这项活动中，参加的人先自己观看艺术作品，然后聚在一起谈论他们的感受，故选C项。
]3．What can we learn about Slow Art Day from the text?A．The year of 2017 will see the eighth Slow Art Day.B．It happens once a year in all museums and galleries worldwide.C．It has become an art festival celebrated on all seven continents.D．Slow Art Day events have been held in over 1，200 different places.A[考查推理判断。
根据“How does it work？”部分中的“One day each year”可知，该活动每年举办一次；再结合“By the numbers”部分中的“since its official launch in 2010”可知，该活动首次举办于2010年。
故可推知2017年为第八届。
因此A项正确。
]4．According to the text，the author ．A．has conducted a survey on Slow Art DayB．strongly recommends Slow Art Day eventsC．sees the good and bad sides of Slow Art DayD．is frequently involved in Slow Art Day eventsB[考查推理判断。

]B(2017·唐山一模)When you're walking on your way through one of life's storms，it is human nature to focus on getting back to normal，to“bounce back”as quickly as possible to a place where things are calm，familiar and comfortable.However，actually it is unrealistic to think we can ever truly return emotionally and intelligently to where we were before the storm because every experience changes us in some way.For example，when we experience a major health scare，possibly involving some hospital time，we can never go back to being the person we were before the event even if we fully recover because we have experienced firsthand the fragility(脆弱) of life，not to mention coming face to face with death.So，now that we can never return，what should we do?Consider this...how is it that two people can be faced with the same hardship and while one becomes hopeless and feels anger and upset，the other is able to overcome their circumstances and grows stronger than ever as a result of the experience?At one extreme，we may choose to accept the role of unlucky victim，or become trapped in the“Why is it always me！”negative and frustrating(令人沮丧的) situations.Either way is the result of a fixed mindset(思维模式) that is resistant to growth and change.If this is your approach to life，you will be far less likely to be active in effectively managing change and recovering from bad situations.But there is another choice.If you are honest enough，you may consider what was once“normal”for you was just the main cause of your storm.You can choose to hug change and uncertainty and learn to grow forward through all of your experiences.Of course，this means doing the work to develop the skills and habits that will enable you to handle life's occasional storms.In conclusion，it is up to each of us to choose the meaning we apply to our situations at all times.Different choices will lead to different lives.Of course you can grow forward if you are determined to choose to live a positive life regardless of whatever hardships you are facing.【语篇解读】在面对生活中的“暴风雨”的时候，人们总是希望回到原来的正常生活轨迹，但是这几乎是不可能的。
