(2016·河北衡水中学高三七调)

Dear Mandy，

I'm not doing well in my lessons at school, especial in math. My dad says I must try hard because he wants me go to university. He thinks I'm lazy, but it's not true.

I work really hard, often study late into the night! I've tried to talk to my mother, but she always said I have to work as hard like my brother does. My brother doesn't study very hard, and he always gets excellent grades. It's not fair!

The only thing I like it is art. My teacher says I'm the best student she's had for year. When I told my dad, all he said was, “You mustn't waste your time in art. You must focus your mind on your lessons！” I'm feeling quite puzzling as to what to do now. Would you please help me out? Thanks a lot!

Yours sincerely，

Lisa 1．第一句中的especial改为especially 考查副词。修饰动词doing，作状语，应用副词形式。

2．第二句中的me后加to 考查固定用法。want sb.to do sth.想要某人做某事。

3．第四句中的study改为studying 考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语动词work，且逗号后无连词，因此study应用非谓语动词形式，又因为I与study之间为主动关系，故用现在分词studying作伴随状语。

4．第五句中的said改为says 考查时态。主语为she，根据always及全文时态可知，此处应用一般现在时。

5．第五句中的like改为as 考查固定结构。as…as…和……一样……。

6．第六句中的and改为but 考查连词。根据句意“我弟弟学习不是很努力，但他总是获得优异的成绩。”可知，前后两个分句之间为转折关系。

7．第八句中的it去掉考查句式结构。本句中I like为省略了关系代词的定语从句，修饰先行词the only thing，is为系动词，art为表语，it是多余成分，故删去。

8．第九句中的year改为years 考查名词的数。for后常接时间段，year为可数名词，应用复数形式。for years多年来。

9．第十句中的in改为on/over 考查固定搭配。waste sth.on/over sth.在某事上浪

费某物(钱财、时间等)。

10．第十二句中的puzzling改为puzzled 考查形容词。此处表示“我感到很困惑”，应用过去分词形式的形容词，puzzled感到困惑的；puzzling令人困惑的，主语常为物。

For a brighter future, numerous student say goodbye to their family and friends in China and boarded a plane to study abroad. As far as I'm concerning, the advantages of studying abroad outweigh its disadvantages as if they can fit in with the life there. Xie Lei is a perfect example.

2012 was the time that Xie Lei first went to study in England and come across countless difficulties. However, she soon got used to the life in England and admitted to a world－class university there. Now she has the excellent job in Shanghai due to my international education background.

From what Xie Lei has experienced, I can safe draw the conclusion that it's wise to study abroad as long as students are able to cope with the difficulties.

1．第一句中的student改为students 考查名词的数。根据句中的numerous可知，其后的名词应该使用复数形式。

2．第一句中的boarded改为board 考查时态。根据句中的say goodbye to和语境可知，应该使用一般现在时。

3．第二句中的concerning改为concerned 考查固定搭配。as far as sb.be concerned 表示“在某人看来”。

4．第二句中的最后一个as去掉考查连词。如果他们能适应国外的生活，出国留学是很有好处的。as if仿佛，不符合语境。

5．第四句中的that改为when 考查定语从句。句中的time是先行词，应用when引导定语从句并在从句中作状语。

6．第四句中的come改为came 考查时态。根据上文的went和and可知此处也应用一般过去时。

7．第五句中and后加was 考查时态和语态。她不久被世界一流的大学录取，所以应该使用一般过去时的被动语态。

8．第六句中的the改为an 考查冠词。本句中的job是首次出现，而且表泛指，所以应该使用不定冠词。

9．第六句中的my改为her 考查代词。本句的主语是she，所以句中与she对应的形容词性物主代词应该是her。

10．第七句中的safe改为safely 考查副词。空后的谓语动词是draw，应该用副词修饰动词。

(2016·黑龙江大庆实验中学月考)In order to promote participation in outdoor exercise, our school had organized an activity to climb the West Mountain on April 10. The moment we arrived at the foot of a mountain, we set out for the top in high spirit. We supported each other to pass the rocky areas on the course of the climb. Laughing and cheering, we eventually reached the summit, there we were greeted by the bright sunshine and fresh air. Viewing from the top, the city was extremely beautiful. This event was very benefit, for not only we take a break from our heavy school workload, but we also learned what to cooperate. Therefore, we strongly suggest that similar events are held every year!

1．第一句中的had去掉考查时态。全文基本时态为一般过去时，且由本句的时间状语on April 10可知，此处应用一般过去时。

2．第二句中的a改为the 考查冠词。此处特指“我们去爬的那座西山”，应用定冠词the修饰。

3．第二句中的spirit改为spirits 考查固定短语。in high spirits兴致勃勃；情绪高涨。

4．第三句中的on改为in/during 考查介词。句意：在爬山的过程中，我们互相帮助经过了岩石区。“在……过程中”应用介词in或during。

5．第四句中的there改为where或在there前加and 考查句式结构。可将此处看作定语从句，先行词为the summit，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用where引导，故可将there改为where；也可将此句看作是并列句，因此需要在there前加连词and。

6．第五句中的Viewing改为Viewed 考查非谓语动词。the city与view之间为被动关系，应用过去分词作状语。

7．第六句中的benefit改为beneficial 考查形容词。此处位于系动词was之后，作表语，应用形容词形式。

8．第六句中的only后加did 考查倒装结构。当not only置于句首时，应用部分倒装，即将助动词提至主语前，又因为时态为一般过去时，故在we前加did。

9．第六句中的what改为how 考查连词。此处表示“我们还学会了如何合作”，表方式，应用how。

10．第七句中的are改为be 考查虚拟语气。suggest在此意为“建议”，其后的宾语从句应用虚拟语气，从句谓语动词应用“(should＋)动词原形”结构，其中should可省略。

One day, I was walking in the park while I caught sight of a wallet on a bench. Clearly, someone has left it there by accident. I picked it up and checked the

contents. Inside them, I found some money and a card with a phone number. Believing that the owner would be worried, I immediate tried the number. A man answered for it in an anxious voice. Heard that I had his wallet, he sighed on relief and told me he would return right away. Ten minutes late, the man arrived. After confirming he was owner, I handed the wallet back to him. With his thumb down, he expressed his gratitude to me repeatedly. Seeing the smile on his face, I felt happy that I was able to help.

1．第一句中的while改为when 考查连词。while常与进行时态或持续性动作连用，caught sight of为瞬间性动作，因此用when, be doing sth.when…为固定句型，表示“正在做某事突然……”。

2．第二句中的has改为had或者去掉has 考查时态。全文为过去时态，此处既可理解为一般过去时，即该动作发生在过去，也可理解为过去完成时，即过去的过去，均符合语境。

3．第四句中的them改为it 考查代词。此处指代上文的wallet，应用代词it。

4．第五句中的immediate改为immediately 考查副词。修饰动词tried应用副词形式。

5．第六句中的for去掉考查动词用法。动词answered为及物动词，直接接代词作宾语。

6．第七句中的Heard改为Hearing 考查非谓语动词。由于本句已有谓语sighed和told，故此处应为非谓语动词，hear与逻辑主语he为主动关系，需用现在分词形式作伴随状语。

7．第七句中的on改为in/with 考查固定短语。in/with relief如释重负；感到宽慰。

8．第八句中的late改为later 考查易混词辨析。late晚的，迟到的；later之后，随后。

9．第九句中的owner前加the 考查冠词。句意：在确认他就是失主之后，我把钱包递给了他。此处特指钱包的主人，故应用定冠词the修饰。

10．第十句中的down改为up 考查介词。根据语境，此处表示“竖起大拇指夸赞”。

E

One of my classmates recommended a quote to me, who goes like this: “The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.” I can't agree much with this view. It's true that almost everyone hopes for the better tomorrow such as a well －paid job and a happy family. To make this dream be come true, we are supposed to seize the present moment. In other word, we must take action right now for a bright future.

Take Ma Yun for example. Shortly after quit his job from a college, he started a small firm focused on e－business for he longed to become a well－known businessman in the future. Despite the fact that he meets with many difficulties at the very beginning, he didn't give up but made up his mind to seize every single day to realize his dream. Finally, his hard work paid back. He succeeded at last.

In a word, I firm hold the belief that if you do your best today you're sure to have a bright future.

1．第一句中的who改为which 考查定语从句。句中含有非限制性定语从句，先行词是quote，所以用which。

2．第二句中的much改为more 考查比较等级。作者很同意这种观点，所以用can't agree more with this view，强调对这句话非常认可。

3．第三句中的the改为a 考查冠词。此处表示泛指。

4．第四句中的be去掉考查被动语态。本句中的come true没有被动语态。

5．第五句中的word改为words 考查固定短语。in other words换句话说。

6．第七句中的quit改为quitting 考查非谓语动词。句中的after是一个介词，所以用动名词作宾语。

7．第七句中的focused改为focusing 考查非谓语动词。句中的focus的逻辑主语是firm，两者之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词作定语。

8．第八句中的meets改为met 考查时态。根据句中的at the very beginning和didn't give up可知，这里说的是过去的事实，所以用一般过去时。

9．第九句中的back改为off 考查动词短语。他所有的付出都有了回报，这与下一句话中的succeeded at last吻合。pay off取得成功。pay back偿还。

10．第十一句中的firm改为firmly 考查副词。根据句中的firm的位置和语境可知，应该使用副词修饰动词。

F

My friend Lin Tao was born in Liaoning Province to the northeast of China. He met with a traffic accident when he was younger. As a result, he lost one of his legs. Although he suffered a great deal, he never loses his heart. Lin Tao has even published a book. He enjoys playing his guitar and listen to music. He does excellent job in school. But he is always ready to help those in trouble. He wins the respects of his classmates and his teachers.

In my opinion, Lin Tao is extreme brave and he sets a good example to we all.

1．第一句中的to改为in 考查介词。辽宁在中国的东北部，在中国的领土范围内，应用介词in。

2．第二句中的younger改为young 考查行文逻辑。句意：小时候，他遭遇了一次交通事故。根据语境可知，此处不含比较意义，无需用比较级。

3．第三句中的suffered改为suffers 考查时态。全文基本时态为一般现在时，且此处描述的是主人公的客观情况，故应用一般现在时。

4．第四句中的his去掉考查固定短语。lose heart失去信心；灰心。

5．第六句中的listen改为listening 考查句式结构。enjoy后应接动名词作宾语，此处与playing为and连接的两个并列宾语。

6．第七句中的excellent前加an 考查冠词。do an excellent job in…在……方面干得好，表现出色，excellent以元音音素开头，故在其前加不定冠词an。

7．第八句中的But改为And 考查连词。句意：他在学校学习很好。并且他总是乐于帮助那些有困难的人。根据语境可知，两句之间为顺承关系，不表示转折。

8．第九句中的respects改为respect 考查名词的数。respect此处意为“尊重”，是不可数名词，不能用复数形式。

9．第十句中的extreme改为extremely 考查副词。修饰形容词brave应用副词形式。

10．第十句中的we改为us 考查代词。在介词后应用人称代词的宾格，故将we改为us。

高考英语二轮复习策略

高考英语二轮复习策略 英语卷无论是考试形式、试题结构，坚持稳定为主，注重基础考查，重点考查考生“在特定语境中语言运用能力”，即运用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力。始终不变的重点知识，考生应该将其列为复习内容，同时抓牢基础知识，不要一味做偏、难、怪题。现提供以下三大点备考建议供参考： 一、回归基础，突出对主干知识的复习 高考英语改革虽然从强调知识考查向注重综合语言运用能力转变，但是还应认识到能力要有扎实的基础作为依托。尤其是到最后冲刺阶段更要重视基础知识的复习。一模后，一些考生普遍都有这样的感觉：很多题目“一看就会，一做就错”。造成这种现象的根本原因在于对基础知识的掌握不牢固。只有扎扎实实地从基础做起，才能“一看就会，一做就对”。英语基础知识包括词汇、语法、句型等。词汇复习应做到从不间断、反复巩固。除了记忆和理解之外，尤其要注意常用词汇的使用和辨析，以及一词多义的掌握。语法复习要理清基本概念，着重复习主干知识。比如，动词的时态、语态、语气，非谓语动词、情态动词等都是高考常涉及的知识点。但切记不要在钻研语法的难点上花过多时间，

英语语法不是数学公式，在不同的语境中用法就不同。 二、查漏补缺，强化专题训练 一模结束后，复习的重点要放在查漏补缺上。将做过的试卷整理后，建立错题档案，弥补知识漏洞，进行强化记忆和训练。比如，在建立错题档案时发现在非谓语动词、从句方面出错率比较高，就应该重点复习这方面的知识。不要注重记多少题，重要的是记住老师在课堂上对这些题的分析过程。抄录资料或刊物上的讲解也是值得推荐的方法。到考试前再回顾、反思、比较、消化，以期达到遇到同类试题不再出错的目的。复习中要加强题型专项训练，在训练中提高解题能力和解题速度；尤其要重视听力训练，所选听力材料不宜过难，语速要适中。复习中应适当加强对重点内容的强化训练和题后分析，提高“考点识别、寻找已知条件、排错求证”的思维能力。训练快速阅读的能力，提高带着问题快速搜索信息，根据上下文提示进行逻辑推断的能力。多读一些原汁原味的文章，通过广泛涉猎，培养英语语感，提高对词、句、篇的理解速度和准确度。专项训练要多、模拟测试要适当。 强调阅读语速是语言实际运用的主要特征之一，一般应保持在60wpm左右，按照“高中英语课程标准”要求，高中毕业时甚至应该达到70―80wpm.在平时训练中一定要注意 坚持阅读速度的要求。在真实语言环境中，所接触材料的篇

题型重组练(三) (建议用时：30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 (·浙江名校新高考研究联盟联考)Brits(英国人) are extremely bad at languages, with many of us relying on the fact that the rest of the world speak English. Only half(51%) are able to speak a second language to any standard and as more people travel abroad, this is becoming an increasing regret, according to a new study. Almost two-thirds(62%) of UK adults wish they were better at speaking languages. So they can better understand a city’s culture(38% of respondents), talk with locals(24%) and go beyond the guide book(21%)． Overcoming language barriers can be one of the most difficult parts of a holiday, particularly when in unfamiliar surroundings. So stressful in the fact that 10% of respondents said they didn’t travel because of the problem. The survey by Hostelworld showed that one in five blamed getting lost on the language barrier, while a similar number had problems ordering food and one in ten got on the wrong train, plane or other form of transportation.

高考英语 第二轮复习策略

2012高考英语第二轮复习策略 2011年，全国很多地区进入了新课改，新课改高考英语究竟怎么考？试卷结构如何？同学们该如何备考才能达到最佳效果？这些都是学校、英语教师、学生和家长都比较关注的一个热点话题。 整体上看，2011年各地新课改高考英语试卷都严格按照考试大纲和各省考试说明的要求编制，试题有较高的区分度。 试卷保持了“稳中有变，变中求新”的基本命题思路，始终坚持了“突出语篇，强调应用，注重交际”这一命题原则。单项填空题着重考查在语境中的语法运用和对词义的正确理解，不拘泥于单纯的知识点，而加强了对知识点综合运用能力的考查；完形填空更加注重篇章结构能力的考查，加强对“预阅”能力的考查，要从前后句和前后段的综合理解、推断中才能作出选择；阅读理解直接从文章中找答案的题目逐渐少了，主观推测的题目逐渐变了，出现“推测作者意图”的题目；改错题逐步弱化语法，增强篇章综合分析能力；书面表达从几种日常写作题型格式逐渐注重实际运用。 除此之外，部分省市的试卷中采用了新题型或在原有的题型上做了一些新的调整，从命题上更加“注重基础、强调应用、突出语篇、注重交际”，试题越来越注意题目设置的巧妙、灵活性、通用性、应用性、社会性。越来越注意对学生能力的考查，渗透着新课改的思想。 变化篇：重基础→考点考查，稳中求进，尝试新题型。 通过认真分析2011年新课改后全国各省（市、区）的高考英语试题，新课改后各省（市、区）的高考英语试题有一些共性，也有一些差异。 基础知识：英语知识运用测试的内容基本为单项填空（语法和词汇知识）和完形填空。差异性比较大的是广东省和陕西省。广东省测试的方向为语言知识及运用，内容分为完形填空测试和语法填空测试两个板块。陕西省在英语知识运用方面测试的方向为语音知识（满分5分）、情景对话（满分5分）、单项填空（满分15分）和完形填空（满分30分）。 阅读理解：在阅读理解方面大部分地区测试的形式相同。安徽、福建、浙江等3个地区阅读篇数为5篇；宁夏、海南、吉林、黑龙江、山东、陕西、北京、江苏、天津、辽宁等10个地区阅读篇数为4篇；广东、湖南、上海等3地区阅读理解只有3篇。广东省在阅读方面增加了信息匹配试题，即阅读一篇应用文及相关信息，按照要求匹配信息。湖南省在写作中增加了任务型阅读和阅读表达。上海市把阅读分为四个板块来测试，包括完形填空、阅读理解、选择标题和读写阅读。

第三组 (建议用时：45分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 Strange Wedding Traditions around the World Flinging raw rice and breaking a glass underfoot may seem like strange ways to celebrate a marriage, at l east if you’re not used to American customs. Strange as some U．S. wedding traditions may be, they certainly cannot take the (wedding) cake for overall wedding weirdness.Those honors go to these 5 strange wedding traditions around the globe. Blackening of the Bride and Groom (Scottish) For Scotland’s tradition of blackening of the bride, which has expanded to now include the groom, absolutely anything goes. This includes tars, feathers, pillow stuffing, dirt, rotting food, sour milk, flour—you name it and you get it, you can certainly pile it on.The blackening takes place prior to the wedding, which at least spares the tux (无尾礼服) and the wedding dress, but any time or location is fair game.Once blackened, the lucky newlywed-to-be is paraded through the streets or tied to a tree as said “friends” announce the wedding.Blackening suppose dly prepares the person for any humiliation (羞耻) that life has yet to bring, as nothing could be as humiliating as being blackened. Breaking Dishes (German) Throwing plates is typically something you do after you’ve been married a few years, unless you’re from Germany.The wonderful tradition of breaking dishes actually takes place prior to the wedding at the rehearsal dinner.Tradition says the more dishes you break, the more good luck the new bride will receive.This counts double if she’s lucky enough to get a brand new set of china as a wedding gift.After this part, the bride and groom join forces to sweep up the mess, a gesture that ensures nothing will ever get broken in their home again. Keep Your Feet on the Floor (Irish) Irish legend has it that the bride must keep her feet on the floor while she’s dancing with the groom to ensure little fairies attracted by her beauty won’t kidnap her.The quick and clever fairies are always eager to get their hands on beautiful things, and legend says the bride has long been a prime target. Irish legends throughout the ages full of tales of fairies stealing brides, although it’s not clear where the brides end up and if the destination is better than where she planned to spend her honeymoon. Passing a Rolling Pin(擀面杖)(Polish) How many Polish people does it take to pass a rolling pin? It depends on how many people are at the Polish wedding! The tradition is pretty much what it sounds like，as people stand in a circle and pass a rolling pin from one person to the next，but there’s a rule—no hands are allowed，and each person must grad and then pass the pin along using only their legs.While it is not immediately evident what the tradition means or why people do it，it is evident it would be great video to capture for future generations to enjoy. No Bathroom Breaks for Three Days(Tidong tribe，Northern Borneo) Can your bladder (膀胱)really explode? Folks who follow a marriage tradition in Northern Borneo put this question to the test.Newlyweds in the Tidong tribe must stay in their home for three days—without a single bathroom break.That means no No.1, no No.2 during this three-day period.

高考英语二轮复习高考题型重组练(三)

高考英语二轮复习高考题型重组练（三） Ⅰ.阅读理解 A [2019·青岛市质量检测] Recently whenever I turned on my computer or my mobile phone, news about the great effect of Hurricane Harvey on thousands of people caught my eye. I saw many unfortunate events. However, there were also the bright news that confirmed the goodness of mankind. As a journalist, I wrote many human-interest stories during my career. That's why the story about the guys in the bakery caught my eye. When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn't sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community. The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that they took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods. The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent，“ Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel forlorn. Instead，we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.” 体裁：记叙文题材：人物故事主题：面对灾难，采取积极的行动来拯救自己和帮助别人 【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了一家连锁面包店的员工们在面对哈维飓风带来的洪水、断电时，在等待救援的同时采取积极的行动，利用应急电源烤面包去帮助社区受洪水影响的居民。 1．What did the bakery store workers do after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey? A．They volunteered to make bread for their community. B．They managed to live by selling more bread in the store. C．They felt sorry that they couldn't escape from the store.
