必修1Unit 4Earthquakes李仕才一、閱讀理解A“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回聲). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now I dont know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.All the lights were off except fathers.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didnt know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any pity or any moments of regret.This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all.

Maybe he didnt know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any pity or any moments of regret.”和“This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.”可知，作者的父親一向如此，可能是由于不知道如何表達自己，對作者吼叫后，他從來顯示出同情或后悔，他做過領(lǐng)導很長時間，指使別人做事情是他的第二天性。這都說明作者的父親可能習慣了對作者吼叫?！癙erhaps the father had been used to doing that.”符合語境。選擇D項。4.A 【解析】觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love-its second to none.”可知，作者一開門，眼淚就流下來了。他突然意識到原來想象中的那扇鐵門根本就不存在，愛才是第一位的。這說明作者理解了父親的愛，他也愛他的父親?！癏e loved his father.”符合語境。選擇A項。B“Her grades are fine; I'm not worried about that, but she just doesn't seem to love learning any more，” Alice's mum said. She's absolutely right. I'd noticed the same thing about her daughter over the previous two or three years when I'd been Alice's middle school English, Latin, and writing teacher, and I have an answer, right there on the tip of my tongue, to what has gone wrong. Yet I'm torn between my responsibility to help Alice and the knowledge that what I have to say is a truth I'm not sure this mother is ready to hear. The truth for this parent and so many others is this: Her child has sacrificed her natural curiosity and love of learning at the altar (圣壇) of achievement, and it's our fault. Alice's parents, her teachers, society at large we are all supposed to be blamed in this crime against learning. From her first day of school, we pointed her toward that altar and trained her to measure her progress by means of points, scores, and awards.We taught Alice that her potential is tied to her intellect (智力), and that her intellect is more important than her character. We taught her to come home proudly bearing grade As, championship prizes, and college acceptance, and not on purpose, we taught her that we don't really care how she obtains them. We taught her to protect her academic and extracurricular perfection at all costs and that it's better to quit when things get challenging rather than risk losing that perfect record. Above all else, we taught her to fear failure. That fear is what has destroyed her love of learning. 【文章大意】本文通過Alice的例子說明了父母、老師和社會有時會扼殺孩子的好奇心和對學習的熱愛?！倦y句分析】 We taught Alice that her potential is tied to her intellect(智力)，and that her intellect is more important than her character.(第三段第四句) 分析：這是一個復合句，含有兩個that引導的賓語從句。We是主語，taught是謂語，兩個that在從句中均不充當成分。 譯文：我們教給Alice的是她的潛力和她的智力是聯(lián)系在一起的，并且她的智力比她的性格更重要。1Both the mother and the author have noticed that _.AAlice hates to tell them the truthBAlice's test scores are not so goodCAlice chooses several subjects to learn DAlice doesn't enjoy studying any more答案與解析：D考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“but she just doesn't seem to love learning any more”和第二段中的“I'd noticed the same thing about her daughter”可知，Alice的媽媽和作者都注意到了Alice不再喜歡學習。A項和C項文中沒有提到；根據(jù)第一段中的“Her grades are fine”可知，B項錯誤。2What does the underlined word “torn” mean in the passage?APained to choose. BGuilty to quit.CTired to manage. DCertain to decide.答案與解析：A'考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)畫線詞后的“between my responsibility.and the knowledge that what I have to say is a truth”可知，作者在兩者之間很難選擇。3What does the teacher think of the girl?AHer academic perfection results from her character. BShe is a gifted girl with spirits of challenging.CShe is perfect in her character development.DHer academic performance is great.答案與解析：D'考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“We taught her to protect her academic and extracurricular perfection at all costs”可知，Alice的學業(yè)表現(xiàn)很好。根據(jù)第三段的“We taught Alice that her potential is tied to her intellect(智力)，and that her intellect is more important than her character.”可知A項錯誤；根據(jù)第三段倒數(shù)第三句中的“that it's better to quit when things get challenging rather than risk losing that perfect record”可知B項錯誤；根據(jù)第三段的倒數(shù)第二句“Above all else，we taught her to fear failure”可知C項錯誤。4What leads to the girl's change?AA few failure experiences.BFear of failing to get good grades.CHer mother's over­protection.DHer not being accepted by colleges.答案與解析：B'考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“We taught her to protect. That fear is what has destroyed her love of learning.”可知，害怕失敗毀掉了Alice對學習的熱愛。二、七選五(2018·廣東省廣州市普通高中畢業(yè)班綜合測試一) We've all experienced peer pressure (同伴壓力). It happens to everybody. However, people have different reactions. Confident people refuse to do things they don't want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they're just curious about trying something new. _1_. It's hard being the only one who says no and the question is: how do you do it? _2_ If you think that missing maths, or smoking, or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn't like is a bad idea then the answer is simple: don't do it. It's your decision, nobody else's. You don't need to be aggressive. You don't need to shout and scream, but you must be confident and you must be firm. You need to say, “No thanks. I don't want to do that.” Being on your own against everybody else is very hard, so it can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who will say no too. _3_ You want friends who will support you when you're in trouble. You don't want people who will always agree with the majority. Remember, the most popular people aren't always the most trustworthy. _4_ You can learn a lot from people of your own age. They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. They can recommend music and advise you on fashion. And don't forget you can tell them things too, and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And remember, friendship isn't about feeling depressed and guilty. _5_ AChoose your friends carefully.BFirstly, you must decide what you believe in.CIt's about sharing experiences and having fun.DOf course, peer pressure isn't completely bad.EIt may be because they were all born to be stubborn.FDepression and guilt will surely give you peer pressure.GWhatever the reason, some people end up doing things they really don't want to do. 【文章大意】自信的人通常選擇拒絕做不樂意做的事情，而害羞和焦慮的人通常會選擇接受。本文介紹了如何學會拒絕并解釋了如何從來自同伴的壓力中學習。1答案與解析：G'根據(jù)空前兩句“It may be because they want to be liked. It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them，or perhaps they're just curious about trying something new”可知，那些害羞和焦慮的人做他們不想做的事情可能是為了讓別人喜歡自己，也可能擔心他們的朋友會取笑他們，或者僅是嘗試新事物。結(jié)合空處所在的位置可以判斷，空處承上啟下，說明不管是何種原因，這些人選擇了做他們不想做的事情，故G項符合文意。2答案與解析：B'根據(jù)該段最后兩句“You don't need to shout and scream, but you must be confident and you must be firm. You need to say, No thanks. I don't want to do that.”可知，對于如何拒絕，你無需叫喊，但是要自信和堅定；據(jù)此可知，空處表示要確定你相信的東西，故B項符合文意。3答案與解析：A'根據(jù)空后一句“You want friends who will support you when you're in trouble”可知，你需要在你困難時會支持你的朋友；據(jù)此可以判斷，空處介紹的是“要慎重選擇朋友”，故A項與此處匹配。4答案與解析：D'根據(jù)空后的“You can learn a lot from people of your own age. They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework.”可知，你可以從同齡人那里學習很多，他們能教會你很多知識；據(jù)此可以判斷，來自同伴的壓力并非完全是壞事，故D項符合文意。5答案與解析：C'根據(jù)“They can teach you . that always feels great.”可知，友誼是分享技能、愛好等，是一起享受快樂，故C項符合文意。三、短文改錯(2018·長沙市高中畢業(yè)生供題)It snowed last night, when was quite rare here in Western Washington State.
