课时作业18　BeautyⅠ.阅读理解(2019·深圳中学月考)The English have a difficult and, generally speaking, dysfunctional (不协调的) relationship with clothes. Their main problem is that they have a desperate need for rules, and are unable to get along without them. This helps to explain why they have an international reputation for dressing in general very badly, but with specific areas of excellence, such as high­class men's suits, ceremonial costume, and innovative (革新的) street fashion. In other words, the English dress best when they are “in uniform”．You may be surprised that I am including “innovative street fashion” in the category of uniform. Surely the parrot­haired punks (朋克摇滚乐迷) or the Victorian vampire Goths are being original, not following rules? It's true that they all look different and eccentric (奇特的) but in fact they all look eccentric in exactly the same way. They are wearing a uniform. The only truly eccentric dresser in this country is the Queen, who pays no attention to fashion and continues to wear what she likes, a kind of 1950s fashion, with no regard for anyone else's opinion. However, it is true that the styles invented by young English people are much more eccentric than any other nation's street fashion. We may not be individually eccentric, apart from the Queen, but we have a sort of collective eccentricity, and we appreciate originality in dress even if we do not individually have it.Another “rule” of behavior I had discovered was that it is very important for the English not to take themselves too seriously, to be able to laugh at themselves. However, it is well known that most teenagers tend to take themselves a bit too seriously.The Goths, in their scaring black costumes, certainly look as if they are taking themselves seriously. But when I got into conversation with them, I discovered that they too had a sense of humor. I was once chatting to a Goth in the full vampire costume — with a white face, deep purple lipstick, and black parrot­hair. I saw he was also wearing a T­shirt with “Goth”. “Why are you wearing that？” I asked. “It's in case you don't realize I'm a Goth，” he answered, pretending to be serious. We both burst out laughing. 作者以自己的所见所闻，给我们详细介绍了英国各类人的穿衣特点，以及其共性和个性等。1．What can we know about the English people?A．They need rules to dress well.B．They are in need of uniforms.C．They are creative in general.D．They lead the world trend.答案：A解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的Their main problem is that they have a desperate need for rules, and are unable to get along without them.可知，英国人在穿衣方面有规则束缚。2．Who is individually eccentric in dressing?A．A high­class man.　　　 B．A parrot­haired punk.C．The Queen.   D．The fashion innovator.答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的The only truly eccentric dresser in this country is the Queen和We may not be individually eccentric, apart from the Queen可知，在穿衣方面真正奇特的是女王，女王对时尚毫不在意，继续穿着她喜欢的衣服，一种20世纪50年代的时尚，不考虑别人的意见。3．Which of the following can best describe the Goths?A．They dress badly.B．They dress in an amusing way.C．They are unable to laugh at the way they dress.D．They are less fashionable than the other English people.答案：B解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的The Goths, in their scaring black costumes和．..a Goth in the full vampire costume—with a white face, deep purple lipstick, and black parrot­hair.可判断出，哥特人的穿着很有趣。4．What may be the best title for the text?A．How the English DressB．How the English Admire FashionC．Why the English Like UniformsD．Why the English Are Eccentric in Dress答案：A解析：标题判断题。本文主要介绍了英国各类人的穿衣特点，以及其共性和个性。故A项“英国人如何穿着”最适合作为文章标题。Ⅱ.阅读填句(2019·山东省实验中学模拟)It's hard to say no to the joys of travel and travel is a pretty loved experience. __1__. And it's not always easy to make time for it. If you're longing to travel but it's not in the cards in your future, here's what to do in the meantime.__2__Travel is pretty expensive. So expensive, in fact, that we're quick to say we can't afford it. That may be painfully true, but it's also true that many of us give up easily when it comes to money. However, once you get an idea of what you can do and what you're willing to do to save for travel, you can come up with a good plan for getting there. If you're too busy this year to take a trip, schedule some time to come up with a plan for next year.Make the most of the waitStrange to say, we might be happier planning and expecting a trip more than we are actually taking it. __3__. For most, the enjoyment starts weeks, even months before the holiday actually begins. This is good news for those of us　who can't afford to spend the time or money on travel soon. We can plan, and planning is a big part of the enjoyment we get from travel, anyway. __4__.Breakout of your everyday routineTravel is fun for a lot of reasons. However, when you get down to it, it's really about novelty. We get to see some new places. __5__. Overall, we get to break out of our routine and reconnect with ourselves.A．Of course, it's also expensiveB．Come up with a plan, even a long­term oneC．There are a few ways to solve this problemD．We get to learn new things and experience new culturesE．Plan things you can do while you're waiting for your tripF．Holiday trips are experiences which people look forward toG．You might even consider setting a few planning goals every month to keep your excitement up旅行的乐趣让人难以抵挡，当然，旅行也很贵，而且也不那么容易能挤出时间。本文主要介绍了一些应对之策。1．A　解析：旅行的乐趣让人难以抵挡，当然，旅行也很贵，而且也不那么容易能挤出时间出去旅行。2．B　解析：根据后面的you can come up with a good plan和come up with a plan for next year可知，本段主要谈论的是“制订计划，即使是长期计划也行”。3．F　解析：本段谈论的是“好好利用等待的时间”，再结合we might be happier planning and expecting a trip可知，F项“人们都期待假期旅行”符合语境。4．G　解析：根据前面的the enjoyment starts weeks和planning is a big part of the enjoyment可知，G项“你甚至可以考虑通过每月设立一些计划目标来让你保持兴奋感”符合语境。5．D　解析：本段谈论的是“打破你的每日常规生活”，再结合前面的We get to see some new places可知，我们可以看到新的地方，学到新的东西，感受到新的文化。Ⅲ.语法填空(2019·河北邯郸模拟考试)I had been called to examine a ten­year­old dog __1__ (name) Belker. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family I couldn't do anything.Shane, a six­year­old in the family, seemed so calm, petting the old dog __2__ the last time. I wondered if he understood what was __3__ (go) on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.The little boy seemed to accept the fact without any difficulty __4__ confusion. We sat together for a while after __5__ (Belker) death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal __6__ (life) are shorter than human lives.Shane, who had been listening quietly, said, “I know why.” We all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next surprised me __7__ (great). I'd never heard a __8__ (much) comforting explanation. It has changed the way I try and live.“People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life — like loving everybody all the time and __9__ (be) nice, right？” The six­year­old continued, “Well, dogs already know __10__ to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.”本文是一篇记叙文。六岁的Shane和作者一起见证了Belker的死，之后Shane似乎非常平静地接受了这一事实，并说出了作者从未听过的、令人宽慰的解释。1．named　解析：考查非谓语动词。动词name在此处作后置定语修饰名词“dog”，且二者是逻辑上的动宾关系，故此处应用过去分词named，意为“被命名”。故填named。2．for　解析：考查介词。for the last time为固定搭配，意为“最后一次”。故填for。3．going　解析：考查动词的时态。句意：我想知道他是否明白正在发生什么。根据上文中的“he was dying of cancer”及下文中的“Belker slipped peacefully away”可知，当时Belker生命垂危，死亡这一过程并没有完成而是正在进行；结合空格前的“was”及语境可知，此处应为过去进行时，表示当时正在发生。故填going。4．or　解析：考查连词。根据句意可知，Shane似乎没有任何困难或困惑地接受了这一事实。句中“difficulty”和“confusion”是并列关系；根据上文中的“without”可知，该句为否定句，在否定句中，or表并列。故填or。5．Belker's　解析：考查名词所有格。根据语法知识可知，Belker和“death”之间是所属关系，故此处应用名词所有格Belker's，表示Belker的死。6．lives　解析：考查名词的复数。根据下文中的“human lives”可知，空格处应与其对应，表示动物的生命要比人类的生命短暂。故此处应用复数名词lives。7．greatly　解析：考查副词。根据句意可知，从Shane嘴里说出的话让作者大吃一惊，此处应用副词修饰谓语动词“surprised”。故填greatly。8．more　解析：考查形容词的比较级。根据句意可知，作者从未听过比这更令人宽慰的解释。此处用形容词比较级的否定式来表示最高级含义，意为“没有比……更……”。故填more。9．being　解析：考查非谓语动词。根据句中的并列连词“and”可知，此处应与“and”前的“loving everybody”一致，故用“being nice”，表示并列。故填being。10．how　解析：考查宾语从句。根据语境及句式可知，上文中的“People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life”与本句中的“dogs already know __10__ to do that...”相呼应，“to do that”指代上文中的“to live a good life”，故此处应用how构成“疑问副词＋不定式”结构，表示如何过上好生活。故填how。Ⅳ.短文改错(2019·山东邹城一中月考)Last month, I went to the mountain village which my grandparents live. It has been five years until I last went there. Great changes have been taken place in the past five years. Hardly had I got off the bus than a high water tower came into my eyes. Now villagers can drink freshly water. Villagers no long use firewood as fuel. Marsh gas, a new type of cheap clean energy, make it very convenient to cook and light. As impressed me most was that the best building in the village is the school. There all children can receive good education. I was greatly shocking to see all the changes in the countryside. I believe the villagers will have better life in the future.答案与解析1．which→where　考查定语从句。where引导定语从句，修饰village，并在从句中作状语。而which在定语从句中作主语或者宾语。2．until→since　考查连词。从It has been five years看，这里表达“自从我上次去那里到现在已经5年了。”3．去掉been　考查动词短语。take place为不及物动词，没有被动语态。4．than→when　考查固定搭配。hardly...when为固定搭配，意思是“刚……就……”。5．freshly→fresh　考查形容词与副词。从water看，这里是形容词作定语，修饰名词，因此不可以用副词。6．long→longer　考查固定搭配。no longer为固定搭配，意思是“不再”。7．make→makes　考查主谓一致。Marsh gas作主语，因此谓语动词应该用单数形式。8．As→What　考查名词性从句。What impressed me most为主语从句，因此不可以用as来引导。9．shocking→shocked　考查非谓语动词。这里表达“感到震惊”，因此用过去分词；shocking意思是“令人震惊”。10．better前加a　考查冠词。life前有修饰成分，前面要加不定冠词。Ⅴ.书面表达(2019·天津市南开中学模拟)假定你是校学生会主席李华，美国一学生访问团将于暑假来你校参观。请你写封邮件，将本次安排告知该团的负责人Mr Smith，并征询他对安排的意见。活动安排：1．体验中国绘画；2．品尝特色午餐；3．观看地方戏表演。注意：1．词数100左右；2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。Dear_Mr_Smith，I'm_Li_Hua,_chairman_of_students'_union_in_our_school._We_are_very_pleased_to_learn_that_you_are_coming._Please_allow_me_to_tell_you_what_we_have_arranged_for_your_visit._In_the_morning,_we_will_introduce_Chinese_painting_art_to_you_and_invite_you_to_experience_the_traditional_art_form._At_noon,_we_want_to_ask_you_to_try_the_local_foods,_a_good_chance,_we_think,_to_get_some_ideas_of_the_local_customs_and_a_good_opportunity_to_know_each_other._If_you_like,_our_school's_drama_club_will_perform_the_local_opera_for_you._We_are_eager_to_know_if_our_arrangements_will_satisfy_you.Looking_forward_to_your_reply_soon.Yours，Li Hua
