Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·河南洛阳高三第一次统考)All over the world mothers and fathers teach their children manners.Other children may have manners that are not like yours.There are all kinds of manners.Many years ago,children who had good manners were seen and not heard.They kept quite quiet if grownups were talking. Today, wellmannered children have more freedom.Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places. Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia. Some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud “burp(打嗝)”after you finish eating. Burping would show that you like your food. In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say “Excuse me, please.”In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat. What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him.

Ⅰ阅读理解(2018·合肥高三质检)May Day, the first day of May, is celebrated as aspring festival in many countries. It marks the approach of summer.The English developed their May Day festival from the Roman festival called Floralia. In the festival of Floralia, the Romans gathered flowers to honor the goddess of spring, Flora. In the Middle Ages, May Day became the favorite holiday of many English villages. People gathered flowers to decorate their homes and churches, sang spring songs and chose a king and a queen of May. Villagers danced around a tall pole fixed upright in the ground, called a maypole, each holding the end of a ribbon attached to the top of the pole. They tied the ribbons around the pole until it was covered with bright colors. They collected dew(露水) on May Day morning and washed their faces with it because they believed that the dew on the day had the magic power to regain youth.Nowadays in Britain people no longer attach great importance to the day, but in some towns and villages people still celebrate it by choosing the May Queen and dancing around the maypole. May Queen is a girl selected as the most beautiful girl on May Day. She is usually crowned with flowers and often driven in procession through the street. In the United States, the day has never been celebrated with the same enthusiasm as in Britain. But in many American towns and cities, children celebrate the day with dancing and singing. They often gather flowers in handmade paper baskets and hang them on the doorknobs of the homes of their friends’ and neighbors’ on May Day morning. At May Day parties, children select May Queen, dance around the maypole, and sing May Day songs.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

She fought for women’s rights long before they became a popular issue.Susan was born on February 15, 1820, in Adams,Massachusetts. At that time, women had few rights. They could not own property. Money earned by a married woman belonged to her husband. Major decisions regarding children were made by the fathers. Women could not vote.At the age of 15, Susan became a schoolteacher. She taught for 15 years. Then she began organizing women’s groups to promote causes that were important to women. She helped gain better educational rights for women. She helped give married women possession of their earnings.After the Civil War, Susan became very involved in the women’s suffrage movement. After years of lecturing, writing,and appealing by Susan and other women, some parts of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote. The first state was Wyoming in 1869. Other areas and states gradually followed Wyoming’s decision. It was not until 1920 that the U.S. Constitution was changed to give all women voting rights.Susan Brownell Anthony died in 1906 at the age of 86. She was elected to the Hall of Fame for Great Americans in 1950. She was the first American woman to have a likeness(肖像) of her face on a coin. It was the 1979 Susan Brownell Anthony dollar.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了美国历史上著名的女权运动领袖Susan Brownell Anthony.她努力为妇女争取了财产权、投票权等权利.8.What was the situation of American women like when Susan was born?A.They had low social status.B.They could vote after getting married.C.They managed money for their husbands.D.They were responsible for decisionmaking.A解析:细节理解题.根据第二段中的“At that time, women had few rights. They could not own property. Money earned by a married woman belonged to her husband. Major decisionsregarding children were made by the fathers.

Just think about what would happen if you sat down and had an open and honest conversation with someone with completelyopposing views. Could it bring you closer together?However,the Human Library organization is counting on it.At a Human Library, people volunteer to become “books”and make their experiences open and available.“Readers”are encouraged to ask them questions freely,and they’ll get honest answers in return. There are no judgments,and no questions that are off limits.You won’t find unpleasant comments,and you won’t lose faith in humanity. At the Human Library, you actually feel better about the world you live in. You might even make a new friend!“The human books consist of people who have been discriminated by society,”said Ronni Abergel,the Human Library organization’s founder,who has set out to build space for conversations that can challenge prejudices through dialogue. “The most pleasantly surprising thing about it is how close all the human books become to one another,”he said.Human Libraries help to remind us there really is more what unites us than divides us. And as events now spread throughout 82 countries,with the Human Libraries even set to launch soon in Pakistan and Jordan,you can tell that is a shared feeling.“We can spend billions and billions on trying to build up homeland security and our safety,but real safety comes from having positive relations to other groups in your community,”said Abergel. “Real safety is not going to come from building walls. It’s going to come from reaching out and getting to know each other.”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了Human Library组织的发展、主旨和活动.12.What does the first paragraph imply?A.Heated discussions are often carried out among people.B.Open dialogue can’t always lead to close relations.C.People with opposing views are not honest enough.D.We tend to have open dialogue with people around us.B解析:推理判断题.根据第一段第一句可知,让两个持有不同观点的人来讨论他们的观点似乎是一种灾难.据此可以判断,开放交谈并不总是能让关系亲密,故B项正确.13.What will readers get at a Human Library?A.A fair judgment.B.Unpleasant comments.C.An available experience.D.Regaining confidence.D解析:细节理解题.根据第四段第二句“At the Human Library, you actually feel better about the world you live in.”可知,在真人图书馆,你会感觉到你所生活的世界更加美好,从而恢复自信,故D项正确.14.Which of the following can replace the underlined “launch” in Para. 6 in meaning?A.Accelerate.B.Substitute.C.Succeed.D.Start.D解析:词义猜测题.根据第六段第二句中的“And as events now spread throughout 82 countries,with the Human Libraries even set to launch soon in Pakistan and Jordan”可知,随着该活动在82个国家开展,Human Library甚至将很快在巴基斯坦和约旦启动.据此可以判断,画线词意为“开始,启动”,故D项正确.15.What did Abergel advise people to do to get real safety?A.Strengthen bonds between people.B.Join other groups in the community.C.Pull down walls between communities.D.Spend less money on homeland security.A解析:细节理解题.根据第七段最后Abergel所说的话“Real safety is not going to come from building walls. It’s going to come from reaching out and getting to know each other.”可知,Abergel认为,真正的安全不是来自建筑城墙,而是来自伸出援手和相互了解,故A 项正确.Ⅱ七选五(2018·潍坊模拟)Temper tantrums(发怒)range from crying to screaming,kicking,hitting,and breath holding.They’re equally common in boys and girls and mostly happen between the ages of one to three.1.________,and others have them rarely.Tantrums are a normal part of child development.They are the way young children show they’re upset or frustrated(沮丧的).Tantrums may happen when kids are tired,hungry,or uncomfortable;or because they can’t get something (for example,an object or a parent) to do what they want.2.________.Tantrums are common during the second year of life,a time when language skills are starting to develop.Because young children at this age can’t yet say what they want,feel,or need,a frustrating experience may cause a tantrum. 3.________.4.________—more than they may be able to handle.This can lead to power struggles as a child thinks “I can do it myself” or “I want it,give it to me”.When kids discover that they can’t do it and can’t have everything they want,they may have a tantrum.So try to prevent tantrums from happening in the first place,whenever possible.Give plenty of positive attention.Get in the habit of catching your child being good.Reward your little one with praise and attention for positive behaviors.Most importantly,keep your cool when responding to a tantrum.Don’t complicate the problem with your own frustration or anger. 5.________.So you need to be calm,too.A.Some kids may smile all the dayB.Some kids may have tantrums oftenC.You may wonder how long a tantrum will lastD.As language skills improve,tantrums tend to decreaseE.Kids want independence and control over their environmentF.Learning to deal with frustration is a skill that children gain over timeG.Remind yourself that your job is helping your child learn to calm down【解题导语】本文是一篇科普类说明文.文章介绍了1岁到3岁的孩子容易发怒的原因及这种情绪得到缓解的原因,告诫家长应当遇事冷静,并帮助孩子们养成冷静的习惯.1.B解析:根据上文“They’re equally common in boys and girls and mostly happen between the ages of one to three.”可知,1岁到3岁的孩子发怒很正常;结合该句中的“and others have them rarely”可知,一些孩子可能会经常发怒,但是另一些孩子很少发怒.故B项正确.2.F解析:空格处在该段结尾,其作用是总结该段内容并引起下段内容;通读该段内容可知,该段主要陈述孩子发怒是表现他们不开心或沮丧的方式,下段内容是说随着年龄的增长,孩子们的语言技能得到提升,他们也就不那么容易发怒了.F项“久而久之,孩子们就拥有处理这种沮丧的技能了”承上启下.故F项正确.3.D解析:根据空格上一句可知,处在这个年龄阶段的孩子由于无法用言语表达他们的需要,所以会发怒.D项“随着语言技能的提高,发怒的行为将会减少”承接上文,符合语境.故D项正确.4.E解析:根据该段第二句可知,孩子们总是在想“我能自己完成”或者“我想要,给我吧”;据此可以判断,E项“孩子们总是想要独立并控制他们的环境”与该段内容相符.故E项正确.5.G解析:根据空格后一句可知,该处建议遇到问题首先自己要冷静.G项“你要想着你的工作就是帮你的孩子学会冷静”与此构成因果关系,衔接紧密.故G项正确.语言知识与写作规范练Ⅰ完形填空(2018·成都高中毕业班摸底测试)I

B.formerC.thirdtterC解析:根据上文内容可知,到六年级,“我”突然认为被别人记住有两个选择,但是通过老师让同学们填调查问卷这件事,“我”发现了第三种选择.所以选C.5.A.terrible B.safeC.nervousD.interestingB解析:根据上文内容可知,假如老师私下阅读我们的回答,“我”就感觉分享的隐私是安全的(safe).所以选B.6.A.surprise B.anxietyC.delightD.expectationA解析:根据下文可知,老师没有私下阅读我们的回答而是重新分发,让同学之间互读(read),这种做法让“我”感到吃惊(surprise).所以选A.7.A.repeat B.rememberpareD.readD8.A.ached B.paledC.changedD.burnedD解析:根据空前的“A laugh erupted”及常识可知,“我”对第一个问题的回答引起了同学们的大笑,由此可知,“我”当时面颊发烫(burned).选项D符合语境.9.A.even B.stillC.neverD.alwaysB解析:根据下文中的“this time had an explosive

Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·浙江瑞安高三第一次调研)All over the world mothers and fathers teach their children manners.Other children may have manners that are not like yours.There are all kinds of manners.Many years ago,children who had good manners were seen and not heard.They kept quite quiet if grown-ups were talking. Today, wellmannered children have more freedom.Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places. Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia. Some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud “burp(打嗝)”after you finish eating. Burping would show that you like your food. In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say “Excuse me, please.”In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat. What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing.Then he will talk to you.Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia.You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent.If you pass in front of the other tents,you will be asked into each one.The people will ask you to eat with them.And it is bad manners if you say no.Manners are different all over the world.But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way.People need ways to show that they want to be friends.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了世界上一些地方的礼仪。

B(2018·湖南六校联盟高三联考)I told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. He replied, “You mean fortun ately.” He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to complain as I approached it but now I tell myself the following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationary exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree. Her activism and writing proved inspirational. She wrote, “The character cannot be developed with ease. Only through experiences of suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity. From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents and difficulties. Some are of our making but many are no fault of our own. While we cannot choose adversity, we can choose our attitude towards it.Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident. He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aviators in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans. He was an inspiration to others during the war. He said, “Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense. Make up your mind, and you’ll never use crutches or a stick, and then have a go at everything. Go to school, and join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”The biographies of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced. The common thread(思路) is that they did not become depressed. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won. Nevertheless, there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。
