4.The old man lives a (comfort) life on the island.

维度2 固定用法和常考句式

1.Industry leaders want scientists to engage fundamental research, not applied research.
答案与解析 in 考查固定搭配。engage in “从事”。
2.I got the news Tom won the prize in the sports meeting.
答案与解析 that 考查名词性从句。此处的同位语从句是对the news的内容的解释说明,这个消息就是Tom在运动会上得奖了,且设空在从句中不作成分,故填that。
3. he wants to tell us is not clear.
答案与解析 What 考查名词性从句。“ he wants to tell us”在句中作主语,设空引导主语从句且作tell的宾语,故填What。
4.She will give needs help a warm support.
答案与解析 whoever 考查名词性从句。“ needs help”为宾语从句,在句中作give的宾语,设空作从句的主语,根据句意“凡是需要帮助的人,她都会给予热情的支持”,应填whoever。

全方位提能语篇
阅读理解 A 体裁:记叙文 主题语境:社会生活 难度:★★★☆☆
My first introduction to Chinese art was an early morning walk in Beihai Park in Beijing. There, I saw elderly people writing on the pavement with paintbrushes which were a metre long! I soon learned that they were doing water calligraphy⁃writing in water. The words have meanings, but they are also art. The calligraphy quickly disappears, of course. But tomorrow, the old people will be back.
Temporary art like this is very popular in China. Every winter, Harbin, in northern China, is visited by sculptors and tourists from around the world. They come for the Harbin Ice Festival, when the city has huge sculptures made out of ice. The sculptures are bigger than houses, and they take weeks to make. Harbins freezing winter temperatures make it very difficult for the artists to work outside. But the weather also means that the sculptures will be protected until the spring.
Of course, not all Chinese art is temporary—some of it has been around for a very long time! Near the city of Xian, I visited the amazing terracotta warriors, or soldiers. In 200 BC, 8,000 statues of soldiers were made by sculptors out of a material called terracotta. They are as big as real people and they all have different faces. An important king had the statues produced to protect his body after he died. They stayed under the ground with the dead king for over 2,000 years, until they were discovered by a farmer in 1974.
At the China Art Museum in Shanghai, I saw wonderful 16th⁃century Chinese paintings of tall mountains, trees and cliffs. The paintings were beautiful, but they didnt look very realistic to me at the time. “Mountains arent like that,” I thought. But that was before the last stop on my trip: the mountains of Zhangjiajie National Park.
These mountains were used by film director James Cameron in his sci⁃fi film Avatar because they look like something from another planet. On my last weekend in China, I took a cable car up into the mountains there. Trees grew on the sides of hundred⁃metre cliffs, and strange towers of rock appeared out of the morning fog. It looked just like the pictures in the China Art Museum. For a moment, I felt like I was inside a Chinese painting!

B 体裁:记叙文 主题语境:个人经历 难度:★★★☆☆
Paris is the city of dreams. If you plan to head to Paris for a study period, then perhaps a little reality check is in order. But my experience was a romantic one.
I paved my path to Paris through an exchange program. On arrival in Paris, I was constantly reminded of the official processes I had to complete—forms to be filled in, meetings to attend. The list seemed endless.
Then the real work began. Once classes were underway, I found myself volunteering to do oral presentations and assignments first, rather than last. This method proved to be very helpful.
Once I had finished class for the week, I had an ever⁃increasing list of museums to visit, neighbourhoods to explore, and cafés to sit in. Read books about Paris. Talk to locals and other foreigners living there. But the one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is to provide you with the experience of wandering Paris on foot. The people watching, the sounds of the city, the colours as the seasons change, they all add to the ecstasy that I experience in Paris as an exchange student.
After spending five months wandering through the charming neighbourhoods, I fell in love with the atmosphere that came out from every open door, and with every spoken word. There is something comforting about walking to the market each Sunday to enjoy the beautiful display of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. There is warmth in saying bonjour to the passers⁃by.
On my last day in Paris, I confidently said, “Bonjour Monsieur,” as I passed the little store down the street. I guess the best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own way. And I know mine is unique and special to me, my own little pieces of Paris.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为一名交换生在巴黎的所见所闻所感等。
好词 ①presentation n. 提交; 授予; 颁发; 出示;展示; ②assignment n. (分派的) 工作,任务; ③display n.展示
4.What does the underlined word “ecstasy” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Courage. B. Imagination.
C. Happiness. D. Reputation.
答案与解析 C 词义猜测题。根据作者对在巴黎街上漫步的喜爱及第四段中的“The people watching, the sounds of the city, the colours as the seasons change, they all add to the ecstasy that I experience in Paris as an exchange student.”可知,人们的注视,城市的声音,季节变化时的色彩,都增加了作者作为交换生体验巴黎的喜悦。由此推知,画线词的意思是“快乐,幸福”。故选C。
5.Beyond reading books, which experience would the author treasure most?
A. Enjoying coffee in his spare time.
B. Greeting people in French in the street.
C. Buying vegetables in the market.
D. Hanging around in Paris.
答案与解析 D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But the one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is to provide you with the experience of wandering Paris on foot.”可知,读书以及和人交谈无法提供步行在巴黎闲逛带给你的体验。由此可知,除了读书,作者最珍惜的经历是在巴黎闲逛。故选D。
6.What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. An exchange students life.
B. Charming neighbourhoods.
C. An exchange program.
D. A travelling experience.
答案与解析 A 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“But my experience was a romantic one.”可知,作者作为一名交换生来到巴黎,他认为自己的巴黎之行非常浪漫。从第二段到最后,文章详细叙述了作者在巴黎的所见所闻所感等。故整篇文章讲述的是一个交换生在巴黎的经历。故选A。
