Ⅱ.完形填空

(2016·蘭州高三實(shí)戰(zhàn)考試)Many students often say that they don't have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork.

My __1__ is often brief，“You have as much time as the president.” I usually carry on a bit about __2__ twenty­four hours in the day for everyone，and suggest that “not enough time” is not a(n) __3__ explanation of __4__something done.

__5__ in graduate school，I tried to prove to one of my professors __6__ saying that I was working hard.His answer to me was，“That's irrelevant (無關(guān)緊要的).__7__ is important is the __8__ of your work.” Since then I have had time to think carefully about the trick (訣竅) of“__9__”，and I have come to some __10__—all relevant to the problem of how much time we have.

If you analyze the matter，you can identify two parts of the problem: There is，__11__，the matter of “time”，which we can think of __12__.Then there is the problem of “work”during that time.But，as my professor suggested，it's not how hard one works __13__the quality of the product that's important.

That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work.That __14__ is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone's office: “Don't work harder.__15__.”There is a lot of sense in that idea.

If you can't get more time，and few of us can，the only solution is to improve the quality of the work.That means thinking of ways to get more out of __16__ time than we might otherwise get.That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits.Since “work” for students usually means “homework”，the expression “work habits” should be read as“ __17__ habits”.

Then，as a smart student，you will__18__those skills that you use in study，__19__reading and writing.If you learn to read better and write better，there are big benefits that __20__in all your studies.

答案：

解題導(dǎo)語：本文是一篇議論文。每個人每天擁有的時間都是相同的，那么想把事情做好就要有一定的技巧。作者認(rèn)為：不要苦干，而要巧干。

1.C　解析：根據(jù)上文的內(nèi)容可知，此處是對上文很多同學(xué)說沒有足夠的時間做功課這一問題的答復(fù)(reply)。

2.A　解析：介詞后面應(yīng)該用動名詞，因此此處用there being的形式。

3.B　解析：每個人都是一天擁有24小時，因此“沒有足夠的時間”是一個不可接受的解釋。strange“奇怪的”;acceptable“可接受的”;surprising“令人驚奇的”;demanding“苛求的，要求過高的”。

4.B　解析：此處介詞后面應(yīng)該用動名詞，對動名詞的否定其前應(yīng)加not;此處是考查“get sth. done”的結(jié)構(gòu)，因此選not getting。

5.D　解析：此處敘述的是過去發(fā)生的事情，因此選once“曾經(jīng)”。since then“自從那之后”常與完成時的句子連用;just now“剛才”;ever“在任何時候”，常用于疑問句、否定句、比較結(jié)構(gòu)或帶if的句子中。

6.A　解析：by表示“通過，以”。

7.B　解析：重要的是你工作的質(zhì)量�！癬_7__ is important”是一個主語從句，主語從句中缺少主語，因此此處用what引導(dǎo)從句。

8.D　解析：參見上題解析，此處應(yīng)填quality“質(zhì)量”。quantity“數(shù)量”;amount“數(shù)額，數(shù)量”;number“數(shù)字”。13空后的“quality”也是提示。

9.A　解析：根據(jù)上文教授的回答可知，此處是說“我”在思考勤奮工作的人的訣竅。hard worker“勤奮工作的人”，符合語境。

10.C　解析：根據(jù)破折號后的內(nèi)容可知，“我”在思考后，得出了一些結(jié)論。construction“建造物”;contribution“貢獻(xiàn)”;conclusion“結(jié)論”;concentration“集中，聚集”。

11.A　解析：根據(jù)上文提到的與時間相關(guān)可知，此處是說當(dāng)然是時間的問題。of course“當(dāng)然”;in fact“事實(shí)上”;as a result“結(jié)果”;as a whole“總的來說”。

12.D　解析：我們認(rèn)為時間是固定的(fixed)。此處是think of...as...“認(rèn)為……是……”。

13.B　解析：正像教授建議的那樣，一個人工作多么努力并不重要，重要的是產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量。此處考查的是短語“not...but...”的結(jié)構(gòu)，意為“不是……而是……”。

14.A　解析：根據(jù)上文的“我”的新想法可知，應(yīng)選concept“觀念，想法”。sense“意義”;explanation“解釋”;solution“解決方法”。

15.A　解析：根據(jù)上文可知，“我”說的是不要苦干，而要巧干。work smarter“更加聰明地工作”，符合語境。

16.D　解析：那就意味著想辦法從同樣多的時間里得到更多。

17.B　解析：既然對于學(xué)生來說“工作”通常意味著“家庭作業(yè)”，那“工作習(xí)慣”就應(yīng)該被理解為“學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣”。

18.B　解析：作為一個聰明的學(xué)生，你應(yīng)該努力尋求方法來提高這些在學(xué)習(xí)上使用的技能。固定結(jié)構(gòu)：seek to do sth.，符合語境。

19.A　解析：根據(jù)常識可知，在學(xué)習(xí)上的技能主要是閱讀和書寫。chiefly“主要地”;briefly“簡要地”;actually“事實(shí)上”;occasionally“偶爾”。

20.D　解析：如果你學(xué)會了更好地閱讀和書寫，那么會有極大的好處來回報你學(xué)習(xí)的各個方面。短語pay off“回報”，符合語境;再根據(jù)定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞that指代的先行詞benefits可知，應(yīng)選D項。

Ⅲ.語法填空

閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容(1個單詞)或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。

(2015·山東師大附中高三模擬)It is a common thing to forget to return a book to the library after you've borrowed it.Maybe，you'll realize it has been some 1.________(month) since you borrowed it and decide to return it.2.________(similar)，when Ron Webster borrowed a book from the library of the University Of Liverpool，he too forgot to return it.When he was 30，back in 1953，he was working 3.________a research assistant in the university.It was during this time 4.________ he loaned a book titled “Structure and Function in Primitive Society”.Shortly after he borrowed this book，he 5.________(call) to London to continue his research.Just as you might have expected，Ron Webster completely forgot the whole thing.

Ron had a 6.________(success) career and worked for Ford before retiring and leading a relaxed life.Recently when he took 7.________look at his collection of books，he discovered the old book borrowed 61 years ago.He contacted University officials to tell about the 8.________(possible) of returning the book.

University Librarian was 9.________(amaze) to see Ron arrive at the University Of Liverpool，10.________(try) to return a book that he borrowed 61 years ago.

Just in case you were wondering，the total fine that Ron Webster had accumulated over the years amounted to ￡4,510.

答案：

解題導(dǎo)語：本文講述的是Ron試圖將61年前從圖書館借的書還回去。

1.months　解析：考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。month是一個可數(shù)名詞，some修飾可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式，所以month要變成復(fù)數(shù)形式，故填months。

2.Similarly　解析：考查副詞。副詞可以作為插入語，起轉(zhuǎn)移話題、承上啟下的作用，使語句間的銜接更緊密。前文在說一種常見的現(xiàn)象，下文開始就這種現(xiàn)象引出本文所要詳述的事件，所以中間用副詞進(jìn)行過渡，故填Similarly。

3.as　解析：考查動詞搭配。work as“以……身份而工作”，句意：他在大學(xué)以研究助理的身份而工作，前文有work，故填as。

4.that　解析：考查強(qiáng)調(diào)句。強(qiáng)調(diào)句句型：It is/was +被強(qiáng)調(diào)的部分+that (who) +句子的其他部分，前文有It was...，故填that。

5.was called　解析：考查被動語態(tài)。句意：在借了這本書不久之后，他被叫回倫敦繼續(xù)從事他的研究。根據(jù)句意和所給的單詞，可知橫線上要填一個被動語態(tài)，故填was called。

6.successful　解析：考查形容詞。給出的單詞是一個名詞，橫線后的career是一個名詞，顯然橫線上的詞是要修飾career的，所以success要變?yōu)樾稳菰~來修飾名詞，故填successful。

7.a　解析：考查固定搭配。take a look“看一下”，橫線前后分別有took和look，故填a。

8.possibility　解析：考查名詞。橫線前有定冠詞the，用來修飾名詞，給出的單詞是一個形容詞，所以要將形容詞變成名詞，故填 possibility。

9.amazed　解析：考查形容詞。給出的單詞amaze是一個動詞，但是be動詞was后面不能直接接動詞，所以將動詞變成形容詞比較符合語法規(guī)范，故填amazed。

10.trying　解析：考查非謂語動詞。v.­ing在此是非謂語，作伴隨狀語，故填trying。

Ⅳ.短文改錯

(2016·日照高三檢測)假定英語課上老師要求同桌之間交換修改作文，請你修改你同桌寫的以下作文。文中共有10處語言錯誤，每句中最多有兩處。每處錯誤僅涉及一個單詞的增加、刪除或修改。

刪除：把多余的詞用斜線(\)劃掉。

修改：在錯的詞下畫一橫線，并在該詞下面寫出修改后的詞。

注意：1.每處錯誤及其修改均僅限一詞;
