Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2024·河北邯郸高二统考)Sir David Attenborough has devoted his life to the natural world and environmental causes. His work has raised awareness of the threats that habitats face, and it reminds us how we are all connected. It's this devotion to science that has earned him multiple honors and awards. It's really awe­inspiring to see how many he has, using a unique way to shine a light on just how many he holds. David Attenborough's name comprises 17 letters, or 20 if you want to throw the “Sir” distinction he earned when he was knighted(封为爵士) by Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ in 1985. After those, there are 39 more letters concerning the multiple orders he has been awarded and societies he's a member of. These letters are: OM, GSMG, CH, CVO, CBE, FRS, FSA, FRSA, FLS, FZS, FRSGS and FRSB. But what do these letters mean? It's easier to first divide them among orders and societies. The former are OM, GSMG, CH, CVO, CBE, and so on. These are handed out by the Royal Family for “exceptional service” and “major contributions” towards the advancement of the Arts, Learning, Literature, and Science. The latter are fellowships that illustrate Attenborough's wide interests and topics he's an expert in. Beyond his titles, the 96­year­old naturalist has reached far and wide. His love for nature can be traced back to childhood when he spent his days collecting fossils, stones, and natural samples. Attenborough went on to study Natural Sciences at Cambridge before joining the BBC as a producer in 1952. Throughout the English­speaking world, he is known for his contributions to the natural history documentary, particularly the powerful Life collection, which covers the subjects of animal and plant life on Earth. While the honors he has gotten pay tribute (致敬) to his achievements and dedication, his true pride likely lives in every person who decides to take a stand to protect our planet. 1.What's the significance of Attenborough's contribution to the environment? A.It has brought him a lot of honors. B.It causes the Royal Family to give help. C.It provides people with many good programs. D.It awakens people's environmental awareness. 2.What does the author intend to tell us in paragraphs 2 and 3? A.The great honors David Attenborough has got. B.The different kinds of honors for different areas. C.The hardness to get honors from the Royal Family. D.The reason why David Attenborough was awarded. 3.What can we know about Attenborough from paragraph 4? A.He spent most time playing outside when young. B.His job was connected with his major at college. C.His interest in nature began when he was young. D.His interest changed after he attended the college. 4.Which can best describe Attenborough? A.Fortunate. B.Devoted. C.Critical. D.Strong­minded. Ⅱ.七选五 (2024·河南信阳高二统考)Have you considered how to choose your major in university, which is of great significance for your future career? Here is some practical advice. Don't choose a major merely based on money or the salary prospect, otherwise mistakes will happen.___1__ Can you see yourself investing the next 40 years in this career without getting bored? Actually choosing a major with a high­paying career won't guarantee you a high­paying job. ___2__ A hobby is never meant to be your priority. You want to pick something that interests you, but you need to be sure you won't get sick of it as time progresses. Typically, people will confuse their hobbies with their passions. ___3__ while passion comforts you and drives you crazy at the same time. It inserts itself into your life. When you choose to study your hobby and build your life around it, it can lose its appeal and won't be relaxing. ___4__ Being interested in a major isn't enough. Researching the field will ensure you choose a right major. If you know someone in the field, ask them for some information. Don't always depend on your parents. The opinions of your family aren't something to ignore. ___5__ After all, the choice is ultimately yours. If anyone wants to help you in choosing a major and you completely agree with their opinions, then go with it. But if you want your future to go in any other direction, speak up. A.Therefore, listen to their opinions carefully. B.Never choose a major by feeling instead of research. C.You should also consider your passions, dislikes, and happiness. D.However, don't be afraid to voice your own opinions and choices. E.A hobby is a pursuit outside one's regular occupation for relaxation. F.It depends on position openings and your competitors when you graduate. G.Remember, the key to success is making the right decision based on your own passions and goals. 情感描写之“吃惊” ★素材积累 形容 词/副词 astonished, amazed, surprised, shocked, astonishing, amazing，surprising, shocking，surprisingly, amazingly 名词/动词 shock, astonishment，surprise, amazement, amaze, astonish 固定 短语 ①to one's shock/astonishment/surprise/amazement 令某人震惊/吃惊/惊讶的是 ②in astonishment/surprise/shock/amazement 吃惊地/震惊地/惊讶地 ③in disbelief 难以置信地 ④come as a shock to sb ……让某人很震惊 ⑤gasp in astonishment 吃惊地倒吸一口冷气 ★语段写作 第一步　完成句子 1.使人们非常震惊的是，龙卷风袭击了附近的一个小镇。 ________________________， a tornado occurred in a small town nearby. 2.听到这个坏消息，玛丽惊得呆住了，动弹不得。 At the bad news, ______________________， as if rooted to the ground.(动词短语) 3.玛丽把这个消息告诉了孩子们，问他们是否愿意和那些不幸的人分享他们所拥有的东西。 ________________________， and asked if they would like to share what they had with the less fortunate. 4.令她惊讶的是，孩子们都愿意捐赠一些东西。 ________________________________ all the children were willing to donate something.(形容词) 5.当安妮把她最喜欢的玩具放进盒子里时，她弟弟脸上闪过一丝惊奇。他瞪大眼睛看着她。 When Anne placed her favourite toy in the box, ________________________________________. 6.他一言不发地回到自己的房间，拿着他最喜欢的玩具跑回客厅。 Without a word, ________________________________________.(动作描写，增加细节) 7.玛丽惊讶地意识到他也明白了她的举动意味着什么。 ________________________， Mary realized that he had also recognised what her action meant.(形容词作状语) 第二步　将以上各句合并成小短文并背诵，注意使用合适的衔接过渡词汇 ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 作业(二)　Unit 2　A life's work [能力提升] Ⅰ.1.potential　2.fashion　3.grocery　4.fascination　5.celebrities　6.uncomplicated　7.wealthy　8.reflects　9.unique　10.acclaim Ⅱ.1.paying attention to　2.belonging to　3.put into　4.is crucial to　5.focused on　6.passed away　7.A flock of 8.more than　9.such as　10.was restricted to Ⅲ.1.So impressive is　2.If it hadn't been for 3.Given the circumstance　4.neither too cold nor too hot　 5.couldn't; better [知能演练] Ⅰ.[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了致力于环境事业的BBC制片人Sir David Attenborough的事迹。 1.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“His work has raised awareness of the threats that habitats face, and it reminds us how we are all connected.(他的工作提高了人们对栖息地面临的威胁的认识，并提醒我们，我们是如何联系在一起的。)”可知，他的工作让人们提高了人们对栖息地的威胁的认识，并提醒我们是如何被联系在一起的，由此可知，他的工作唤醒了人们的环保意识。故选D。 2.A　段落大意题。根据第二段中的“David Attenborough's name comprises 17 letters, ...by Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ in 1985.( David Attenborough的名字由17个字母组成，如果你想加上他在1985年被英国女王伊丽莎白二世封为爵士时获得的‘爵士’称号，那就是20个字母。)”可知，David Attenborough被伊丽莎白二世封为“爵士”称号，以及第三段中的“These are handed out by the Royal Family for ‘exceptional service’ and ‘major contributions’ towards the advancement of the Arts, Learning, Literature, and Science.(这些勋章由王室颁发给在艺术、学习、文学和科学领域做出‘杰出贡献’和‘重大贡献’的人。)”可知，讲述是David Attenborough获得的这些勋章都是往事颁发给做出“杰出贡献”和“重大贡献”的人，由此可知，作者在第二段和第三段主要讲述David Attenborough获得的荣誉。故选A。 3.C　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“His love for nature can be traced back to childhood when he spent his days collecting fossils, stones, and natural samples.(他对自然的热爱可以追溯到童年时代，那时他整天收集化石、石头和自然样本。)”可知，他对大自然的热爱可以追溯到他的童年时期，由此可知，从很小的时候Attenborough就对自然感兴趣。故选C。 4.B　推理判断题。根据首段中的“Sir David Attenborough has devoted his life to the natural world and environmental causes.( David Attenborough毕生致力于自然世界和环境事业。)”以及下文中介绍的David Attenborough对环保事业做出的贡献以及获得的荣誉看，他对环保事业是有献身精神的。故选B。 Ⅱ.[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何选择对未来职业生涯有意义的大学专业提供了一些实用的建议。 1.C　前文“Don't choose a major merely based on money or the salary prospect, otherwise mistakes will happen. (不要仅仅根据金钱或薪水前景来选择专业，否则会发生错误。)”提醒不要仅根据金钱或薪水前景来选择专业，空处应该会介绍选择专业的其他依据，C项“You should also consider your passions, dislikes, and happiness. (你还应该考虑自己的爱好、厌恶和快乐)”符合语境，承接前文。故选C。 2.F　前文“Actually choosing a major with a high­paying career won't guarantee you a high­paying job. (事实上，选择一个高薪职业的专业并不能保证你得到一份高薪的工作。)”指出高薪职业的专业并不意味着高薪的工作，空处应该会解释工作的高薪是否受其他因素的影响，F项“It depends on position openings and your competitors when you graduate. (这取决于你毕业时的职位空缺和你的竞争对手。)”符合语境，承接前文，其中的It指代前文说的得到一份高薪工作。故选F。 3.E　前文“Typically, people will confuse their hobbies with their passions. (通常，人们会混淆他们的爱好和热情。)”指出会有混淆爱好和热情的情况，后文“while passion comforts you and drives you crazy at the same time (而激情在抚慰你的同时也让你疯狂)”解释了热情的含义，空处应该是解释爱好的含义，E项“A hobby is a pursuit outside one's regular occupation for relaxation. (爱好是人们在日常工作之外为放松而进行的一种追求。)”符合语境，和后文形成对比，其中的hobby和前文的hobbies呼应。故选E。 4.B　空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容，根据后文“Being interested in a major isn't enough...ask them for some information. (仅仅对专业感兴趣是不够的。研究这个领域可以确保你选对专业。如果你认识这个领域的人，向他们询问一些信息。)”可知，本段主要建议除了对专业感兴趣，还要对专业做好研究，B项“Never choose a major by feeling instead of research. (永远不要凭感觉而不是研究来选择专业。)”符合语境，契合后文内容，其中的research和后文的Researching相呼应。故选B。 5.D　前文“The opinions of your family aren't something to ignore. (你家人的意见不容忽视。)”指出家人意见的重要性，后文“After all, the choice is ultimately yours. (毕竟，选择权最终是你的。)”指出选择专业的权力在于自己，空处应该涉及转折，强调个人想法的重要性，D项“However, don't be afraid to voice your own opinions and choices. (然而，不要害怕表达你自己的观点和选择。)”符合语境，承上启下。故选D。 [续写提能] 语段写作 第一步 1.Much to people's shock 2.Mary froze with shock 3.Mary shared the news with her children 4.She was amazed/surprised/astonished that 5.a spark of surprise flashed across her brother's face He stared at her with wide eyes 6.he went back to his room and ran back with his favourite toy to the living room 7.Astonished/Surprised/Amazed 第二步 Much to people's shock, a tornado occurred in a small town nearby.At the bad news, Mary froze with shock, as if rooted to the ground.
