考点规范练21(Module 3)

Ⅰ.阅读理解

In the early 1970s,David McNeill,a psychology professor at the University of Chicago,was giving a talk in a Paris lecture hall when something queer caught his eye.There was a woman in the back of the room moving her arms in a way that seemed to convey exactly what he was saying.It took him a moment to realize that she was speaking,too,and another to realize that she was an interpreter,translating his words into French.For McNeill,that moment of confusion made him realize that gesture and speech are not as separate as they seem.

Gesture researchers have spent the past 40 years uncovering how movements are

tied to speech.Regardless of their spoken language or culture,humans gesture when they talk.They gesture even if they have never seen gestures before—people who have been blind since birth do it—and they gesture even if they’re talking to someone on the phone and know no one can see them.When speech is interrupted,so is gesture.In fact,gesture is so tightly bound to language that differences between languages show up as differences in gesture.In other words,the way you package your thoughts into speech is also how you package them into movement.

Researchers are especially interested in the times when gestures don’t match speech.The mis match can be a valuable window to what’s going on in the mind.For example,until about 7 years of age,children don’t understand that if you pour a tall glass of water into a shorter,wider glass,the amount of water stays the same.They think the shorter glass contains less water.When asked to explain their

reasoning,some children will say,“This one is shorter,”while gesturing that the glass is wider.That discrepancy(矛盾) shows they subconsciously grasp that both dimensions are important.

When we speak,we put our thoughts into words,and when we gesture,we put our thoughts into our hands.But gestures don’t just show what we’re thinking—they actually help us think.Toddlers(初学走路的孩子) who are encouraged to gesture tend to start producing more words.Adults involved in various problem-solving tasks do better when they are encouraged to gesture.Putting ideas into motions brings us closer to grasping what we need to grasp.

【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章解释了人们说话时为什么会做手势。

1.Which can best replace the underlined word “queer” in Paragraph 1?

A.Strange.

B.Terrible.

C.Boring.

D.Funny.

答案:A

解析:词义猜测题。由下文那位女士做手势、讲话、翻译的情节及段末的“that moment of confusion”可推断,那位女士的表现很奇怪。

2.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A.Newborn babies don’t gesture.

B.Gesture and language are closely related.

C.Babies learn to gesture from their parents.

D.People gesture when they talk face to face.

答案:B

解析:段落大意题。由第二段中的“how movements are tied to speech”及“gestur e is so tightly bound to language that”以及所举例子可推断,本段主要是说手势和语言是紧密联系的。

3.Through kids’ gestures in the example of glasses,researchers know .

A.kids often ignore glasses’ shapes

B.kids under 7 are not good at gesturing

C.kids prefer taller glasses to shorter ones

D.kids can realize the importance of glasses’ width

答案:D

解析:细节理解题。由第三段末的“while gesturing that the glass is wider...both dimensions are important”可知,通过孩子们的手势可以知道他们能够意识到玻璃容器宽度的重要性。

4.Gesturing makes people .

A.more persuasive

B.get distracted more easily

C.feel discouraged while talking

D.think and express more effectively

答案:D

解析:推理判断题。由最后一段可知,被鼓励做手势的孩子表达能力会比较强;成年人做手势可以帮助思考进而解决问题。据此可推断,做手势帮助人们更有效地思考和表达。

Ⅱ.完形填空

(2015石家庄一模)

Communication is an important part of any relationship.Many of us are 1 to share our experiences or emotions with our friends.But when it’s our turn to lend

a(n) 2 ,we soon become bored or are short of ideas on how to 3 and offer advice.

Ⅲ.语篇填空

Whether we like it or not,the society will create in us certain desires for those things that are valued by the society in general.Today,we’ll learn something on “Who 1.(keep) company with the wolf will learn to howl(近朱者赤近墨者黑)”.

If you are a scientist and want to 2.(influence) by great scientific thinkers,then the 3.(good) place to go is a place where there are others with the same interest and desires with you in life.4.

(equal),if you look forward to being a musician,you will 5.(probable) choose not to have a relationship with scientists 6. with other musicians.

If we recognize the power of this choice,then we can use it to help us achieve 7. goals in life.If you are struggling to reach your goals,look around you 8.

(know) if others value the same goal.If not,where can you find others 9.

similar goals?If you can do that,you’ll be closer to achieving your dreams without some limits and obstacles(阻碍).In the long run,10.(make) a right and proper choice about your environment is the first and most important step towards changing yourself.

答案与解析:

【语篇导读】本文通过列举事例,谈论了“近朱者赤,近墨者黑”这句话的内在含义。

1.keeps 解析:考查主谓一致。主语从句的主语是who,是第三人称单数形式,所以谓语动词要加-s。

2.be influenced 解析:考查动词的语态。根据句意以及空后的by great scientific thinkers 可知要用被动语态。

3.best 解析:考查形容词比较等级。分析语境以及空前的定冠词the可知,此处要用形容词的最高级形式,表示“要去的最好的地方”。

4.Equally 解析:考查副词。此处是修饰整个句子,要用副词形式。

5.probably 解析:考查副词。此处是修饰动词choose,故用副词形式。

6.but 解析:考查连词。此处是not...but...“不是……而是……”句型。

7.our 解析:考查代词。根据空前的“we can use it to help us”可知应该是实现我们的目标,所以填our。

8.to know 解析:考查非谓语动词。此处表示“如果你正在努力拼搏,环顾你周围,看其他人是否和你有同样的目标”,to know做目的状语。

9.with 解析:考查介词。看其他人是否和你有同样的目标,应用介词with“拥有”。

10.making 解析:考查非谓语动词。本句的谓语是is,所以用动名词形式做主语。

Ⅳ.短文改错

think my English teacher and many of my classmate are willing to help me.With this English-learning plan,I’m hoping for a great progress.

一、2020-2021 学年高三英语一模卷汇编 4. 阅读A篇 Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. One【宝山】 (A) “Runners, to your mark, Get set…” Bang! And I was off, along with a bunch of other teenage cross-country runners from high schools across the county. The day was like any other fair-weather autumn day in Maryland. But the race that day felt unique from the get-go. For one thing, I liked the course. It was my team’s home course, one I was used to running durin g practices. It took runners along an area of land that included open fields, hills and even winding dirt paths through a small forest. It was a beautiful 5-kilometer course. This particular race was our team’s invite, and I was proud to be sharing the cou rse with competitors from other schools. It also meant a lot―more than normal that my parents were there to cheer me on. With so much to expect that day, I was ready to run! And I didn’t want to be stuck with the pack of other runners, as is typical at the beginning of most cross-country races. So when the gun sounded, I took off running, leaving everyone else in the dust. The first part of our course followed the outside edge of a large open field before disappearing into the forest. Within seconds of the start, I was far ahead of everyone, and all of the fans could see it. It felt magnificent. But that feeling didn’t last long. Little did I know my coach was laughing to himself, thinking, “Gabe is done for!” And I was. My body was telling me to slow down. My pride, however, said “No! Not until you’re out of sight of the spectators!” I was in agony, but I kept up my pace until I reached the forest. Once in among the trees. I slowed way down. I enjoyed most races, even while pushing myself, but this one was not enjoyable in the least. I finished the race, but in nowhere near the time I could have if I’d paced myself well from the beginning. Every time I reflect on that cross-country season, I’m reminded of something: Pride is no substitute for pace. 56.What is special to the author about the race? A. The weather condition was good for runners. B. He was familiar with the home course.

上海2014高三英语一模汇编·阅读C篇

试题汇编·2014高三英语一模·阅读C篇 试题分类 宝山 Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind.According to recent polls(民意调查), sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy.Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness.It is not predictable,nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy.The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings. A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness.Though both may contribute,they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs. The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes.People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school,and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunities to control their lives.Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education. Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain.Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness.Those who have good relationship with other family members are happier than those who live alone.Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factors. It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have,and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time. Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods,but are not necessarily happier adults. The best formula(准则)for happiness is to be able to develop AQ(Adversity Quotient that can be of great benefit when running into trouble),to have a personal involvement and commitment,and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem. 74.It can be inferred from the passage that_____. A.happiness is neither predictable nor apparent B.a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happy C.the rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group D.happiness is not necessarily connected to one’s situation in society 75.According to the article,happiness is greatly dependent upon_____. A.a happy childhood in which one can do whatever he likes B.great wealth with which one can buy anything C.a feeling that conditions are becoming for the better D.a college degree that can help one achieve great success 76.The letters AQ in the last paragraph most probably mean_____. A.ambition to defeat others in a severe competition B.ability to overcome difficulty and get out of embarrassing situation C.methods of solving difficult problems and challenges in life D.attitudes towards severe competition especially in trouble 77.The best title of this passage may be_____. A.What Does Happiness Consist in B.Happiness and Unhappiness C.Different Kinds of Happiness D.Causes of Happiness and Unhappiness 长宁 The term culture now is more used to describe everything from the fine arts to the outlook of a business group or a sports team.In its original sense,however,culture includes all identifying aspects of a racial group,nation,or empire:its physical environment,history,and traditions,its social rules and economic structure,and its religious beliefs and arts. The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another.It is for this reason that most people regard culture as learned rather than innate.People acquire a culture because they are not born with one.The process by which a person develops a taste for regional foods,accented speech,or an outlook on the world over time, therefore,is known as enculturation(文化适应). Cultures are often identified by their symbols—images that are familiar and coated with meaning.Totem poles(图腾柱)carved with animals and creative figures suggest aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest but more literally represent specific tribes(部落).In Asia and India,the color of yellow is connected with temples while in ancient China it was a color only the emperor’s family was allowed to wear.Thus,different cultures may respond to a symbol quite differently.For example,to some a flag may represent pride,historical accomplishments,or ideals;to others, however,it can mean danger or oppression. To individuals unfamiliar with cultures outside their own,the beliefs,behaviors,and artistic expression of other groups can seem strange and even threatening.A society that ranks all other cultures against its own standards is considered to be ethnocentric(from the Greek ethnos,meaning“people,”and kentros,meaning“center”).A strongly ethnocentric society assumes also that what is different from its own culture is likely to be inferior and,possibly,wrong or evil. All people are ethnocentric to some degree,and some aspects of ethnocentrism,such as national pride,contribute to a well-functioning society.An appreciation for one’s own culture,however,does not prevent acceptance and respect for another culture.History documents the long-term vigour and success of multicultural groups in which people from numerous and various cultural backgrounds live and work together.Extreme ethnocentrism,in contrast,can lead to racism —the belief that it is race and racial origin that account for variations in human character or ability and that one’s own race is superior to all others. 74.What does the word“innate”in Paragraph2most probably mean?
