【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。详细阐述了中国古典家具的历史、制作工艺、哲学意义及其与文化和审美的关联。
1.recorded 考查形容词。句意:中国有近5000年的历史记载。空后是名词,所以空处应填形容词作定语,record和history之间是被动关系,应该用ed形式,表达“有记录的历史”之意。故填recorded。
2.that 考查代词。句意:然而,中国家具的历史甚至比它的文字还要悠久,它可以追溯到7000多年前的河姆渡文化。空前是介词,所以空处应填入宾语,根据句意,此处应用代词that代指前文的history of Chinese furniture。故填that。
3.as 考查介词。明清时期的家具多为手工制作,以优质硬木为原料,如今这种木材已十分稀少,价格昂贵。此处是固定搭配:use...as...意为“把……当作……使用”。故填as。
4.differs 考查动词。句意:一般人常用的木材有松木、榆树、山毛榉等,但这些木材的质量差别很大。本句是but引导的并列句,后句缺少谓语,所以空处应填动词,different的动词形式是differ,根据前文use可知,句子时态用一般现在时,主语the quality为第三人称单数。故填differs。
5.completely 考查副词。句意:现代机器不能完全取代手工。空处修饰空后的动词,应该用副词。故填completely。
6.using 考查非谓语动词。句意:将木块组合在一起,只用木头本身,是中国古代所有木匠的基本技能。本句已有谓语动词is,所以use用非谓语形式,use的逻辑主语是“combining pieces of wood together”这件事,两者是主动关系,故用现在分词形式using。故填using。
7.where 考查定语从句。句意:它最初是在7000多年前祖先居住的河姆渡遗址的木结构中发现的。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句修饰先行词Hemudu site,在从句中作地点状语,用where引导。故填where。
8.creativity 考查名词。句意:这种结构是中国劳动人民的智慧,充分体现了人类的创造性和艺术性。空前是定冠词,以及根据空后的and可知,空处应填名词和后文的artistry并列作宾语,create的名词形式是creativity。故填creativity。
9.philosophies 考查名词。句意:中国古代的哲学思想在中国传统家具中得到了体现。本句缺少主语,所以空处应填名词作主语,根据后文的have可知,主语用复数形式。故填philosophies。
10.To achieve 考查非谓语动词。句意:为了做到这一点,熟练的木匠正确地匹配了家具的曲线和直线。本句已有谓语动词matched,所以achieve用非谓语形式,根据句意,此处表目的,用不定式作目的状语,位于句首,首字母引大写。故填To achieve。
Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2024·湖北省高中名校联盟高三联考)In Georgia students will be required to build “background knowledge”by reciting all or part of significant poems and speeches.The Arkanses plan calls for students to recite a passage from a wellknown poem,play or speech.That's it:an oldfashioned demand that students memorize the Gettysburg Address or Hamlet's “To be or not to be”or Gwendolyn Brooks's We Real Cool and recite it to an audience.
Most parents would probably call this a worthy exercise once abandoned for long,gathering the courage to speak in public and firing the adolescent imagination.Who could object to store memorable words in teenage heads otherwise packed with short videos?
English teachers,that's who.Modern educators view memorization as empty repetition,mechanical and prescriptive (规定的) rather than creative or thoughtful.Reciting texts from memory,they say,merely drops information into students' minds.It's repetitive learning instead of critical analysis.
That's wrong.Recitation allows students to experience a text as a living thing,ready to be taken up by a new generation.Committing a poem or speech to memory means stepping into the author's shoes and pondering what he meant.Deciding which words to stress when reciting means thinking about what those words mean.
In our age of social media and artificial intelligence,the practice of recitation has never been more needed.Memorizing classic words reminds us that they are alive.
Watch the faces of parents as they listen to their children urging us all toward what Martin Luther King called “a dream deeply rooted in the American dream,”or saying with Robert Frost,“I have been one acquainted with the night,”or with Shakespeare,“Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...”
When young reciters return to their seats,they know they have made ageless words their own.What parents and students feel at that moment transcends (超越) a good grade.For a few minutes,hardworking teens become King,Frost or Shakespeare.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文,主要讨论了在社交媒体和人工智能时代,背诵经典词句的重要性,以及现代教育者对此的反对态度。
1.Why are educators against storing memorable words in teenage heads?
A.Memorization is nothing but thoughtful learning.
B.Memorization is anything but repetitive learning.
C.Memorization does injure teenagers' heads.
D.Memorization does no good to critical analysis.
D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Modern educators view memorization as empty repetition,mechanical and prescriptive(规定的) rather than creative or thoughtful.Reciting texts from memory,they say,merely drops information into students' minds.It's repetitive learning instead of critical analysis.”(现代教育者认为记忆是空洞的重复,机械和规定的,而不是创造性或思考性的。他们说,从记忆中背诵文本只是将信息灌输到学生的头脑中。这是重复的学习,而不是批判性的分析。)可知,教育者反对将记忆深入青少年的头脑,因为他们认为这种记忆并不能有助于批判性分析。故选D。
2.What is the author's attitude toward recitation?
A.Supportive. B.Objective.
C.Opposed. D.Unclear.
A 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Recitation allows students to experience a text as a living thing,ready to be taken up by a new generation.Committing a poem or speech to memory means stepping into the author's shoes and pondering what he meant.”(背诵让学生体验到文本是一种活的东西,准备被新一代接受。记住一首诗或一篇演讲意味着走进作者的角度,思考他的意图。)可知,作者支持背诵。故选A。
3.What does the underlined word “pondering”in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Learning from. B.Reflecting on.
C.Bringing out. D.Arguing against.
B 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“Deciding which words to stress when reciting means thinking about what those words mean.”(在背诵时决定重读哪些单词意味着要思考这些单词的意思。)以及“Committing a poem or speech to memory means stepping into the author's shoes”(记住一首诗或一篇演讲意味着走进作者的角度。)可知,记住一首诗或一篇演讲意味着走进作者的角度,思考他的意图。所以pondering在此处意味着反思或深思。故选B。
4.How does the author stress the importance of recitation in the social media and AI times?
A.By giving examples.
B.By analyzing causes.
C.By displaying methods.
D.By listing figures.
A 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Watch the faces of parents as they listen to their children urging us all toward what Martin Luther King called ‘a dream deeply rooted in the American dream,’or saying with Robert Frost,‘I have been one acquainted with the night,’or with Shakespeare,‘Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...’(看看父母们的脸,他们听着孩子们敦促我们朝着马丁·路德·金所说的‘深深扎根于美国梦中的梦想’前进,或者像罗伯特·弗罗斯特那样说:‘我是一个熟悉黑夜的人’,或者像莎士比亚那样说:‘明天、明天、明天……’)”以及根据文章最后一段“When young reciters return to their seats,they know they have made ageless words their own.What parents and students feel at that moment transcends (超越) a good grade.For a few minutes,hardworking teens become King,Frost or Shakespeare.(当年轻的背诵者回到座位时,他们知道他们已经把永恒的词语变成了自己的。那一刻,父母和学生的感觉超越了好成绩。几分钟的时间,勤奋的青少年变成了金、弗罗斯特或莎士比亚。)”可知,作者是通过举例子来说明强调背诵在社交媒体和人工智能时代的重要性的。故选A。
