第一局部选修8Unit 1Ⅰ.阅读理解A(高三一模，D)You are a new manager at the American branch of your German firm in Chicago.With a few minutes to spare between meetings，you go to get a quick cup of coffee.“Hey, David, how are you？〞one of the senior partners at the firm asks you.“Good，thank you，Dr.Greer，〞you reply.You've really been wanting to make a connection with the senior leadership at the firm，and this seems like a great opportunity.But as you start to think of something to say，your American colleague breaks in to steal your spotlight.“So, Arnold，〞your colleague says to your boss，in such a casual manner that it makes your German soul cringe(畏缩)，“So what's your Super bowl prediction? I mean，you're a Niners fan, right？〞The conversation moves on，and you walk silently back to your desk with your coffee.You know how important small talk is in the U．S.，and you feel jealous of people who're your colleague who can do it well.There's nothing small about the role that small talk plays in American professional culture.People from other countries are often surprised at how important small talk is in the U．S.and how naturally and comfortably people seem to do it—with peers，men，women，and even with superiors.You can be the most technically skilled worker in the world，but your ability to progress in your job in the United States is highly dependent on your ability to build and maintain positive relationships with people at work.And guess what skill is critical for building and maintaining these relationships? Small talk.What can you do if you are from another culture and want to learn to use small talk in the U．S.to build relationships and establish trust? Work hard to hone(磨炼)your own version of American-style small talk.Watch how others do it.You don't have to mimic what they do；in fact，that would likely backfire because people would see you as inauthentic.But if you can develop your own personal version，that can go a long way toward making you feel comfortable and competence.()1.The author introduces the topic of the passage by________.A．raising an interesting questionB．describing an interesting sceneC．making comparisonsD．telling a small jokes()2.What do we know about German people?A．They usually make small talk in work breaks.B．They hate making small talk.C．They don't make so much small talk.D．They are good at making small talk too.()3.What makes people from other countries surprised in American professional culture?A．American workers' ability to make progress.B．American workers' attitude towards superiors.C．The special meaning of small talk.D．The role small talk plays in work settings.()4.What does“backfire〞underlined in the last paragraph mean?A．Be difficult.B．Be helpful.C．Have a good result.D．Have the opposite effect.【主旨大意】本篇为说明文。

(P38)interrupt vt.“打断……讲话”eg: Don’t interrupt the speaker now; he will answer questions later.“暂停；中断”eg: Traffic was interrupted by a dense fog.Trade between the two countries was interrupted by the war.vi.“打断别人的讲话；打岔”eg: Go on, I don’t want to interrupt.2. So we think it is reasonable to assume they lived in these caves, regardless of the cold. (P38)assume vt.“假定；设想”eg: I assumed he wouldn’t want to talk with me after our quarrel.We can all leave together assuming (that) the others aren’t late.“承担；呈现；假装”eg: I made a mistake and I will assume responsibility for it.He contented himself by assuming an air of superiority.assume 与suppose辨析：二者都有“假定；猜想”的意思，但又有区别如下：assume表示在没有证据或证实的情况下认为或接受某事。
eg: We must assume him to be innocent until he is proved guilty.suppose表示根据一定现象做出的推断。

What happened to the flight's 239 passengers and crew after the plane left Kuala Lumpur on Saturday? It is becoming an increasingly desperate question as the days pass.But it's hardly the first mystery of its kind. Here are some half-solved and unsolved airline mysteries that kept investigators clueless for years.Air France Flight 447: An Airbus A330 flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris plunged into the Atlantic Ocean in 2009, killing all 228 passengers and crew on board. But it took a full five days for search and rescue teams to find the wreckage(残骸) and another three years for investigators to report that ice crystals had caused the autopilot to disconnect. The bodies of 74 passengers remain unrecovered.Amelia Earhart: Ace(王牌) pilot Amelia Earhart disappeared in her twin-engine monoplane Electra over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 in an attempt to circumnavigate the globe. No trace of her plane was ever found even after a multi-million dollar search effort, and Earhart was officially declared dead in 1939.Flying Tiger Line Flight 739: A U.S. military flight left Guam in 1962 with more 90 personnel headed for the Philippines, but it never arrived. The pilots never issued a distress call, and 1,300 people involved in the U.S. military search never found any trace of wreckage.British South American Airways: It took more than 50 years to find any trace of the 11 people aboard a 1947 flight that disappeared in the Andes Mountains. A pair of Argentinian rock climbers discovered engine wreckage in the Andes in 1998, and an army expedition later found human remains as well.Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571: A flight headed for Santiago, Chile carrying 45 passengers and crew crashed into the Andes Mountains in poor weather in 1972, killing twelve people. In the meantime, eight were killed in an avalanche(雪崩) that hit the plane's wreckage where they were taking shelter, and the rest stayed alive by eating the flesh of the dead before they were finally found more than two months after disappearing out of the sky.36. What can we learn from Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571?A. 12 people were lost until now.B. 25 people were rescued instantly.C. The rest who stayed alive killed 8 people.D. 8 were killed by a fall of a large mass of snow down a mountainside.37. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Earhart was declared dead by the authorities two years later.B. The bodies of Flight 447 had all been found after three years.C. Two Argentinian rock climbers discovered the dead in the Andes.D. Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 was regarded as the largest air crash.38. The passage has been written to .A. introduce the loss of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370B. explain how to avoid airplane disappearances as a pilotC. tell readers mysterious airplane disappearances in Aviation HistoryD. call on people to protect themselvesBMassachusetts today looks nothing like it did when the first English settlers arrived. Back in the 17th century, forest blanketed the land. Today, roads and towns cover much of the area. But the past is not dead and gone. Just an hour's drive from Boston lies Plymouth Plantation.There you'll experience the 17th century life from the days of the Pilgrims(清教徒移民). You can look in the Pilgrims' homes, watch the way they cook, and ask them about their daily life. You can even help them build houses or work in the fields.When you arrive at Plymouth, you are greeted with "How do you fare?" instead of "How are you?" In this living history plantation, actors portray(展现) real people of 17th century in Plymouth. Each actor has taken the identity of someone from that period.All the actors speak the language of Shakespeare. They're happy to talk about the hardships of their lives or just share the gossip of the day. But don't try to discuss modern topics. They won't understand what you are talking about!In fall, you can enjoy a harvest dinner very similar to the First Thanksgiving. You'll dine with your hands like Pilgrims. You'll find no pepper(胡椒粉) on the table. This expensive spice was used very sparingly(节俭地) in cooking. You'll find no last-course "dessert", either. At the time, people ate sweet dishes right along with the meal.Cranberries were on the menu then and still are today. A short distance from Plymouth, you can visit Cranberry World. At this unique museum, you'll see how cranberries are harvested and can taste different cranberry products.Of course, the First Thanksgiving included not only the Pilgrims, but also their Wampanoag guests. If you want to find out something about the Wampanoag, explore the recreated Wampanoag Homesite. It is just a short walk from Plymouth. Step into the Native American home and enter a different world. Native Americansdressed in 17th century Wampanoag outfits(全套服装) describe how their people lived 400 years ago. Outside, you can help make traditional boat or learn about native plant remedies.Much in Massachusetts has changed since the 17th century. But in Plymouth, the past lives on.39. What do you know about Plymouth Plantation?A. It is a cranberry plantation in Plymouth.B. It is where some old Pilgrims are still living.C. It presents the Pilgrims' lives in the 1600s.D. It is a plantation dating back to the 1700s.40. What can tourists do in Cranberry World?A. Harvest cranberries by yourself.B. Learn how to grow cranberries.C. Taste various cranberry products.D. Visit an old history museum.41. The purpose of the rebuilt of Wampanoag Homesite is to .A. protect Native Americans, the WampanoagB. attract more tourists to stay in PlymouthC. show how the Wampanoag helped the PilgrimsD. keep the 17th century Native Americans' life alive42. What is the best title for the passage?A. An Interesting Journey to PlymouthB. The Life of the PilgrimsC. A Journey to Plymouth's PastD. Life in the 17th CenturyCThe general Allotment Act, passed in 1887 by the United States Congress, was expected to help Native Americans. The Act called for breaking up tribal reservations(部落居留地) and turning them into family-sized farms. Each farm would be given to an individual Native American.The government thought that Native Americans would be better off if they forgot their tribal organizations and their tribal languages. The government expected Native Americans who owned land and farmed for a living to become more like other Americans. But it didn't work out that way. The Native Americans were used to living in tribal groups and sharing with each other. They had always thought of land as something that belonged to the whole tribe, rather than to individuals.With their families scattered on separate farms, many Native Americans were dissatisfied. The land they were given was often poor, and they hadn't the skill to farm it well. Poverty and poor health increased, while the Native American stuck to their old languages and customs. Eventually the government realized that the division of reservation land had made things worse rather than better for Native Americans.The Indian Reorganization Act, passed in 1943, reversed the government's policy. This Act said that all Native American land should be owned by tribes, rather than by individuals. The new Act encouraged tribalorganizations to take responsibility for running tribal affairs. The Act also provided money, which tribes could borrow to buy more land or to start business.Economic conditions have improved for Native Americans. Many tribes run successful manufacturing, mineral leasing, hotels and gambling business. Yet problems of unemployment and poor health still exist. Today Native Americans face a double challenge. They must continue to improve their economic and political position, while at the same time preserving their lands and cultural heritage.43.

When you do, "learning bursts right open," says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post Newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they're more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems , such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying(欺负人).As a kid in a primary or middle school, you're at a wonderful stage in your life. You're like a sponge(海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you're able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person who's giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you're open to what they're teaching you. That's why they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive(敏感的) to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren't going well, they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class.47. In the passage, the author mainly talks about .A. how to get along well with teachersB. the importance of a good relation with teachersC. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachersD. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant48. "learning bursts right open" in the third paragraph really means .A. learning becomes easier for you at onceB. you find an opening to learningC. there'll be more problems with learningD. there'll be no problems with learning49. According to the passage, which of the following offers the best reasoning?A. You are getting on well with your teachers, so you have more questions than others.B. You find it comfortable to ask questions, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.C. You have a good relationship with your teacher, so you can turn to him/her when in trouble.D. You are in trouble, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.50. Which of the comments in FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?A. Teachers are excited even if you wouldn't like to accept their teaching.B. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.C. Though few, there are still some students who can learn even if they don't like the teacher.D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.四、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分）A Brief History of SlaveryIt is said that the first known slaves lived more than five thousand years ago in the Sumerian society of what is now Iraq. 51. It expanded as trade and industry increased. This increase created a demand for the labor force to produce goods for export. Slaves did most of the work. Most ancient people thought of slavery as a natural condition that could happen to anyone at any time.52. Sugar was one of these things. Italians set up large sugar farms around the twelfth century. They used slaves from Russia and other parts of Europe to do the work. By the year of thirteen hundred, African blacks had begun to replace the Russian slaves. They were bought or caught from North African Arabs, who used them as slaves for years.By the 1500s, Spain and Portugal got American colonies(殖民地). The Europeans forced native Indians to work in large farms and mines in the colonies. 53. So the Spanish and the Portuguese began to bring in people from West Africa as slaves. France, Britain and the Netherlands did the same in their American colonies.54. That was not true in the early years of the American nation. Many Americans thought slavery was necessary. Yet owning slaves was common among rich people in the early 1700s.55. One example is the famous American diplomat (外交家), inventor and businessman Benjamin Franklin. He owned slaves for thirty years and sold them at his general store. But his ideas about slavery changed during his long life. Benjamin Franklin started the first schools to teach blacks and later argued for their freedom.A. Today, most people in the world see slavery as unfair.B. Most of the Indians died from European diseases and poor treatment.C. People who were rich enough to own many slaves became leaders in their local areas.D. In later times, slaves provided the labor needed to produce products that were in demand.E. Many of the leaders in the colonies who fought for American independence owned slaves.F. Slavery also existed among people in China, India, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas.G. By 1750, almost twenty-five percent of the total number of people in the American colonies were black slaves.五、作文（共1小题；共25分）56. 假设你是某旅行社的一名导游，请根据表格内容用英语向外宾介绍海南岛的基本情况。

There was great competition between the city stateswhich led to regular warsand between the families which ruled them.Thecity states also competed with each other to build the grandest or tallest buildings.

The other powerful people who had influence in Florence were the members of the guilds (行业协会).Craftsmen such as carpenters each had their own guild.If you were a member of a guild and over 25 years old then you could be involved in governing the city. The rulers of Florence wanted their city to be impressive and famous.TheMedici collected books and built a huge library to house them.They spent money on renovating (修复) old buildings and putting up new ones.They built a splendid palace and employed painters and sculptors to decorate it.Some of the best and most famous artists were brought to work in Florence. 1.What do we know about the city states?

We have a small number of paid staff，just twenty-three.Wikipedia content is free to use by anyone for any purpose.Our annual expenses are less than six million dollars. Wikipedia is run by the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation，which I founded in 2003.Wikipedia is driven by a global community of more than 150,000 volunteers—all devoted to sharing knowledge freely. Over almost eight years，these volunteers have contributed more than 11 million articles in 265 languages. More than 275 million people come to our website every month to access information，free of charge and free of advertising.But Wikipedia is more than a website. We share a commoncause：Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That’s our commitment.Your donation helps us in several ways. Most importantly，you will help us cover the increasing cost of managing global traffic to one of the most popular websites on the Internet. Funds also help us improve the software that runs Wikipedia—making it easier to search，easier to read，and easier to write for. We are committed to increasing the free knowledge movement worldwide，by taking on new volunteer s，and building strategic partnerships with institutions of culture and learning.Wikipedia is different. It’s the largest encyclopedia (百科全书) in history，written by volunteers. Like a national park or a school，we don’t believe advertising should have a place in Wikipedia. We want to keep it free and strong，but we need the support of thousands of people like you.Thank you，Jimmy Wales46.What do the second and third paragraphs mainly talk about?A.Why you should donate to Wikipedia.B.How much the workers are paid.C.How Wikipedia is ru n.D.How many people contribute to Wikipedia.47.All the following are the reasons for the need of your donation EXCEPT________.A.to keep Wikipedia free for people all over the worldB.to update the software that runs WikipediaC.to raise the salaries of the staffD.to pay the cost of running the website48.What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Free access to all human knowledge.B.Human knowledge.C.Every single person.D.A common cause.49.Which of the following is TRUE about Wikipedia?A.It only has 23 workers at present.B.It will run a national park or a school.C.It has got much help from other people.D.It may put some advertisements to earn money.50.What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text?A.To introduce the differences between Wikipedia and other websites.B.To improve the software that runs Wikipedia.C.To make Wikipedia more popular.D.To call on people to donate to Wikipedia.BOn May 3, 2002, archaeologists in England found a grave of a man dating back to around 2300 BC. Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior. There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat. He carried a copper knife on his breast. The most amazing find was two gold earrings. That would have made him a man of distinction. Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay, tools and materials to make arrows, a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second, smaller copper knife. Next to them lay a cushion stone, upon which the man could work metal.His grave is the richest of any found from that period, because this man was buried with two gold earrings which arethe oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470 BC). Besides, he was buried three miles from Stonehenge. Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.Stonehenge was begun around 3000 BC. In about 2300 BC the huge stone circles were built. The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons. But the smaller blue stones, still weighing 4 tons on average, came from west Wales. It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380 km. It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries.He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain. In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age.51. Which are not included in the things that are found in the grave of a man'?A. Tools, a bone pin, a bow and a cushion stoneB. A copper knife and two gold earrings.C. Two pots, arrows and materials to make arrows.D. some chicken and grains.52. The man buried in the grave might be ______ at that time.A. A poor manB. a kind-hearted manC. a rich manD. an ordinary man53. Why is the man buried in the grave called the "king of Stonehenge" ?A. He was buried three miles from Stonehenge.B. He had the oldest gold ever found in Britain.C. He might be a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.D. All of the above.54. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A. How Stonehenge was built.B. Building Stonehenge was hard.C. Stonehenge was made of big stones.D. It is a mystery how Stonehenge was built.55. We can infer that _______ .A. how Stonehenge was builtB. the King of Stonehenge was from FranceC. Stonehenge was built through several agesD. Stonehenge was built because of warCTHREATS TOOUR NATIONAL TREASURESJ: journalist X: Prof XuJ: People have always had interests in the past. Professor Xu, what are the most important dangers to our archaeological treasures?X: They get damaged or lost. It's a matter of education. People fail to take the right steps when something is found. Fortunately, the government has helped spreading the basic knowledge among the population, telling what is to be done when an archaeological find is made.J: What does that knowledge consist of ?X: Well, when something is found, construction work must be stopped and the police should be told about the find. That is to make sure that no further damage will be done.J: Does it still happen that people do not report things they find?X: Yes, indeed. They doubt whether it is necessary to do so. It sometimes happens that a find is not very valuable. They areafraid that they would make scientists come for nothing.J: Are there other reasons why people don't report their finds?X: Oh, yes. People are afraid that archaeologists may take a real interest in the site and spend many weeks or months digging around at it. That would result in farmers missing the right opportunity to plant crops or construction work to be stopped for a long time. They don't realize that they should not weigh their own business interests against our national history.J: If it is so important to dig things up and collect them, then why are archaeologists worried that other people dig up artifacts and give them to museums or add them to their own private archaeological collections?X: Archaeology is a professional discipline. Years of training and experience are needed. It is not just about finding things and digging them up. The field work must be done very carefully. Of every find there needs to be a written record, to which a photograph must be added. The records must also state exactly what was found, where it was found and when. The outdoor work is followed by work in the lab, cleaning, restoring and identifying each artifact. Finally, when all is done, an analysis must be written and published in a magazine or a book.J: Are there any other dangers, natural disasters perhaps?X: Unfortunately there are treasure hunters: people search for valuable objects, especially jewellery and gold. They are the worst. History does not need to fear nature very much. What has been buried has often been buried well. It is often human digging that causes the loss of valuable materials. It may seem a contradiction, but leaving things as they are would often be the best way of keeping things for the generations to come.56. The interview is probably a conversation betweenA. Mr Xu and his wifeB. a student and a teacherC. a teacher and a newspaper reporterD. a professor and a farmer57. According to Professor Xu, there are ______ why people do not report finds.A. no reasonsB. certain threatsC. few dangersD. several reasons58. The reason why some people do not inform the police about archaeological finds is that ______ .A. they are afraid of the policeB. the government has failed to inform the publicC. they think working archaeologists will cause troubleD. they don't have the years of training and experience that are needed59. For most artifacts ______ can quite easily see whether they are valuable or not.A. farmersB. the policeC. construction workersD. local experts60. In the opinion of Professor Xu, the greatest danger to our archaeological treasures are ______ .A. natural disastersB. farmers and construction workersC. scientistsD. treasure hunters第二卷第一节单词拼写(每小题1分，满分10分)1.

But it's disturbing the rest of your colleagues, you know.W：Yes, I know. I won't let it happen again. I'm so sorry.(Text 4)M：Yes, it looks good. I like the colour. But I think you can make it better. I will give you enough expenses.W：Many young people like the colour and the style too. More effort on the technical side would help.(Text 5)W：What's the latest news about Bill?M：I talked to him last night on the phone. He said he was feeling better and would be back home tomo-rrow.(Text 6)M：Hello, may I speak to Mrs Brown?W：Sorry, Mum isn't in. Who's that speaking?M：John Smith. I work in the same school as your mother. Could you tell me when she will be back?W：I'm not sure. She left for the bank half an hour ago. Then she might go to the hospital. Shall I take a message for her?M：All right, please tell her to call me when she is back. I have something important to discuss with her. And my number is 8－55－33－2－99.W：OK, so that's 8－55－33－2－99.M：That's correct. Thank you very much.W：You are welcome.(Text 7)W：Are you doing the football bets, Brian?M：Yes, I've nearly finished, Jane. I'm sure we will win something this week.W：You always say that, but we never win anything! What will you do if you win a lot of money?M：If we win a lot of money, we shall travel around the world and we shall stay at the best hotels. Then we shall return home and buy a big house in the country. We shall have a beautiful garden and ...W：But if we spend all that money we shall be poor again. What shall we do then?M：If we spend all the money, we shall try and win the football bets again.W：It's a pleasant dream, but everything depends on “if”！(Text 8)W：Waiter ! I'd like to speak to the manager please... Immediately if possible.M：Is anything wrong, Madam?W：I'm afraid there is. The service here has been terrible. We had to wait twenty minutes for a glass of mineral water.M：I see. Well, I'm sorry to hear that. The trouble is that we're a bit short of hands at present. Two waitresses are ill.W：All right, but that's no excuse. My husband asked for goose and he was brought chicken instead. It's just unbelievable! And my beans weren't cooked properly. It wasn't a very enjoyable meal at all.M：This is most regrettable.W：Look at this bill. We've been overcharged. We only had one dessert, not two. Can you check thebill again, please?M：I do apologize, Madam.W：I'm afraid I'm not going to pay the service charge, or give a tip, as I don't feel satisfied with it.I'm quite disappointed as a matter of fact.M：I'll pass on your complaints to the manager right away.W：Thank you.(Text 9)M：What, Mary? You're going to lift weights.W：Are you laughing at me?M：I'm sorry. I just can't imagine you lifting weights.W：But I want to start. I need to get in shape.M：It's sure. If a person doesn't exercise, he will be out of condition. That's why I keep running.W：So I need to do something too.M：But weight－lifting isn't the best choice. You should do some kind of acrobatic exercise.W：I know. But I want to start today with a little weight－lifting. Then I'm going to go swimming.M：It sounds like a good plan to me. I'm still ... I mean ...W：What?M：I'm still just surprised you really want to do it. It doesn't seem to go with your character.W：Well, if that's true, then I need to change my character. I don't want to become a fatty.(Text 10)You might think that the most dangerous type of eating, for women, is overeating. But according to medical records, that's not the case. Most of the women who die of eating problems suffer from starving themselves. While overeaters find themselves quite OK except that they are just fat, those who starve themselves have a different experience. To look beautiful, many women eat very little. But without enough food, they are weak in health. They may feel sick in different moment—at meetings, in the shopping malls, or while walking around. This becomes especially dangerous when they are driving or operating machines.The reason for this is society's demand on women to be overly thin. It's reported that over 100 women die each year in the United States alone, just because they want to meet this demand.What we should know is that when your life is in danger, is it meaningful to achieve that kind of beauty? It's necessary for those who want to keep skinny to reconsider the meaning of beauty.答案1—5 ACBCC6—10 CCBCB11—15 CAACC16—20 BABCB第二部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节：单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
