1、Unit 3　學(xué)業(yè)質(zhì)量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)檢測(cè) 語(yǔ)文課本中的文章都是精選的比較優(yōu)秀的文章,還有不少名家名篇。如果有選擇循序漸進(jìn)地讓學(xué)生背誦一些優(yōu)秀篇目、精彩段落,對(duì)提高學(xué)生的水平會(huì)大有裨益。現(xiàn)在,不少語(yǔ)文教師在分析課文時(shí),把文章解體的支離破碎,總在文章的技巧方面下功夫。結(jié)果教師費(fèi)勁,學(xué)生頭疼。分析完之后,學(xué)生收效甚微,沒(méi)過(guò)幾天便忘的一干二凈。造成這種事倍功半的尷尬局面的關(guān)鍵就是對(duì)文章讀的不熟。常言道“書(shū)讀百遍,其義自見(jiàn)”,如果有目的、有計(jì)劃地引導(dǎo)學(xué)生反復(fù)閱讀課文,或細(xì)讀、默讀、跳讀,或聽(tīng)讀、范讀、輪讀、分角色朗讀,學(xué)生便可以在讀中自然領(lǐng)悟文章的思想內(nèi)容和寫(xiě)作技巧,可以在讀中自然加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)感,增強(qiáng)語(yǔ)言的感受力。久

2、而久之,這種思想內(nèi)容、寫(xiě)作技巧和語(yǔ)感就會(huì)自然滲透到學(xué)生的語(yǔ)言意識(shí)之中,就會(huì)在寫(xiě)作中自覺(jué)不自覺(jué)地加以運(yùn)用、創(chuàng)造和發(fā)展。 第一部分：聽(tīng)力(共兩節(jié)，滿(mǎn)分30分) 一般說(shuō)來(lái)，“教師”概念之形成經(jīng)歷了十分漫長(zhǎng)的歷史。楊士勛（唐初學(xué)者，四門(mén)博士）《春秋谷梁傳疏》曰：“師者教人以不及，故謂師為師資也”。這兒的“師資”，其實(shí)就是先秦而后歷代對(duì)教師的別稱(chēng)之一?！俄n非子》也有云：“今有不才之子……師長(zhǎng)教之弗為變”其“師長(zhǎng)”當(dāng)然也指教師。這兒的“師資”和“師長(zhǎng)”可稱(chēng)為“教師”概念的雛形，但仍說(shuō)不上是名副其實(shí)的“教師”，因?yàn)椤敖處煛北仨氁忻鞔_的傳授知識(shí)的對(duì)象和本身明確的職責(zé)。 第一節(jié)(共5小題； 每小題1.5分，

Other Americans visit national parks like Yellowstone or Yosemite out in the West.They want to spend time with nature.Or they take their vacation by a lake or the ocean.They might swim or fish.But many just want to sit and enjoy the feeling of doing nothing, except maybe read a book.

But not everyone goes someplace special on vacation.This might be the only time for people to work on things like home improvement projects.And while they do

43、that, they might think of all the fun their friends are having. 語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文講述了美國(guó)人比其他工業(yè)城市的人工作時(shí)間多，而休息時(shí)間少。當(dāng)他們休息時(shí)，大部分家庭會(huì)選擇在暑假離開(kāi)家出去旅游一兩周，甚至更長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間，通過(guò)不同的方式去各個(gè)地方感受不一樣的旅行快樂(lè)。 24．What can be the best title for the text？ __B__ A．Americans Work More and Vacation Less B．Where Americans Go on Their Summer Vacation

44、s C．Different Places for Summer Vacations D．Not All Americans Take Summer Vacations 解析：主旨大意題。本文介紹了在暑假，美國(guó)人會(huì)花費(fèi)一兩周，甚至更長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間離開(kāi)家出去旅游，他們旅游的方式和地點(diǎn)很多，如一些人駕車(chē)環(huán)游美國(guó)、一些人去歷史悠久的地方，還有一些人利用假期接近大自然，由此可推斷出B項(xiàng)“美國(guó)人夏季去哪度假”作為文章標(biāo)題最佳。故選B項(xiàng)。 25．If you want to spend time with nature, you can do the following things except __D

45、__ . A．to visit national parks B．to see the country C．to stay by a lake D．to visit historic places 解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段Other Americans visit national parks like Yellowstone...Or they take their vacation by a lake or the ocean...maybe read a book.可知，如果想接近自然，你可以去參觀國(guó)家公園，或呆在湖邊或去海邊玩耍，甚至可以讀書(shū)。而to visit his

46、toric places只是能讓人們感受到早期的美國(guó)生活，不屬于接近自然。故選D項(xiàng)。 26．Which of the following is False？ __C__ A．People choose different destinations depending on different interests. B．People interested in history can have fun in Colonial Williamsburg. C．All the people take vacations only to do nothing but relax themse

47、lves. D．Not all Americans can afford time and money to go on a vacation. 解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的But not everyone goes someplace special on vacation.This might be the only time for people to work on things like home improvement projects.可知，并不是每個(gè)美國(guó)人都會(huì)在假期放松自己去各個(gè)地方旅游，有些人也許只有在假期才能進(jìn)行他們的家庭改進(jìn)工作。C項(xiàng)中的All the pe

48、ople和only用詞過(guò)于絕對(duì)，C項(xiàng)表述錯(cuò)誤，故為答案。 27．What does the underlined sentence of the passage mean？ __D__ A．They fully enjoy doing their work on home improvement projects. B．They think of their work at home as a special kind of vacation. C．They can imagine what fun their friends are having on vacation. D．T

49、hey might envy their friends having time going on vacation. 解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文章最后一段的描述可知，有的美國(guó)人會(huì)利用假期做家庭改進(jìn)的工作，而這些人是不能出去旅游的，由此可推斷出畫(huà)線句表達(dá)的是他們可能會(huì)羨慕他們的朋友有時(shí)間出去旅游。故選D項(xiàng)。 C (2018·江西省吉安市高二期末) There is a man who is dying to find the way to success，but he doesn’t have an idea how to do it.One day，he meets a guru，a

50、religious teacher，on the road.The man asks the guru，“Which way is to success？” The gum doesn’t speak，but points to a place off in the distance. The man，thrilled by the prospect of quick and easy success，rushes off in that direction.Along the way，he is occupied in looking up something special but th

51、ere is nothing.Suddenly there comes a loud splat(濺潑聲)．Eventually，the man limps back in rags，assuming he must have misinterpreted the message.Therefore，he returns to the guru for a reason.He repeats his question to the gum，who again points silently in the same direction. The man was obedient to walk

52、 off once more.This time the splat is deafening，and when the man crawls back，he is bloody，broken and angry，“I asked you which way was to success，” he screams at the guru，“ I followed the direction you pointed to.And all I got was being knocked down! No more of this pointing! Tell me why? Talk！” Onl

53、y then does the guru speak，and what he says is that “Success is that way.Just a little past the splat.” 語(yǔ)篇解讀：這是一篇哲理性小故事。有一個(gè)人渴望找到成功的道路，于是詢(xún)問(wèn)一名智者，智者指向遠(yuǎn)處的一個(gè)地方。于是這個(gè)人就一直向前，失敗后就又不再繼續(xù)尋找，最終什么也沒(méi)有找到，狼狽不堪。智者告訴他，成功就是經(jīng)歷失敗后繼續(xù)向前。這篇文章告訴我們，不要過(guò)早的放棄，成功就在你失敗之后。 28．Why does the man fail once more？ __D__ A．He is so st

54、upid that he cannot find it. B．The way to success does not exist in life. C．The guru gave the wrong direction to him. D．He does not make sense of the guru’s words. 解析：推理判斷題。由最后一段“what he says is that Success is that way.Just a little past the splat.”可推斷，這個(gè)人之所以再一次失敗，是因?yàn)樗麄儧](méi)有完全理解智者的話，成功的道路充滿(mǎn)失敗，不要過(guò)早

55、放棄，繼續(xù)堅(jiān)持，你就會(huì)成功。故選D。 29．What does the underlined word “obedient” in Paragraph 3 mean？ __A__ A．Submitted. B．Pleasing. C．Disappointed. D．Unwilling. 解析：詞句猜測(cè)題。由第二段可知，當(dāng)這個(gè)再次詢(xún)問(wèn)智者那條路通向成功時(shí)，智者再次重復(fù)了以前的問(wèn)題，指向同一個(gè)方向，結(jié)合下文“walk off once more...”可推斷，這個(gè)聽(tīng)了智者的話，很聽(tīng)話的再次離開(kāi)了，再次撞得頭破血流。因此可知，畫(huà)線詞詞義是“順從的”與A項(xiàng)意義相近。故選A。 30．Wh

56、at does the guru think of how to succeed？ __C__ A．Getting the help from others. B．Achieving it all on your own. C．Keeping on going after some failures. D．Just facing up to many difficulties. 解析：推理判斷題。由最后一段的“Success is that way.Just a little past the splat.”可推斷，智者認(rèn)為成功時(shí)經(jīng)歷許多失敗以后，繼續(xù)向前。故選C。 31．Wha

57、t does the passage mainly tell us？ __B__ A．Believe in yourself. B．Don’t give up too soon. C．Listen to the wisdom’s suggestion. D．Introduce the guru’s wisdom. 解析：主旨大意題?？v觀全文特別是最后一段的內(nèi)容可推斷，文章通過(guò)講述一個(gè)人追逐成功的故事，告訴讀者不要太早的放棄，失敗后繼續(xù)堅(jiān)持，你就會(huì)成功。故選B。 D (2018·全國(guó)卷Ⅲ) Cities usually have a good reason for being

58、where they are，like a nearby port or river.People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade.New York City，for example，is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River.Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to

59、 8 million.But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time.Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight.In 1896，Dawson，Canada，was unmapped wilderness (荒野)．But gold was discovered there in 1897，and two years later，it was one of the largest cities in the West，with a population of 30,000.

60、 Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris.People went there for gold.They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers.The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning.An avalanc

61、he (雪崩) once closed the path，killing 63 people.For many who made it to Dawson，however，the rewards were worth the difficult trip.Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold,4,000 got rich.About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives. But no matter how rich they were，Dawson was neve

62、r comfortable.Necessities like food and wood were very expensive.But soon，the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found.The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down，and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska，they left Dawson City as quickly

63、 as they had come.Today，people still come and go to see where the Canadian gold rush happened.Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City—its present population is 762. 語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，題材是城市發(fā)展歷史。文章主要介紹了加拿大Dawson City的興衰及其背后的原因。 32．What attracted the early settlers to New York City？ __C__ A．It

64、s business culture. B．Its small population. C．Its geographical position. D．Its favourable climate. 解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段第二、三句“People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade.New York City，for example，is near a large harbour at the mouth of

65、the Hudson River.”可知，New York City吸引早期定居者之處就是它靠近Hudson River河口，交通和貿(mào)易便利，所以是它的地理位置吸引了早期的定居者。文章中沒(méi)有A項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)的相關(guān)信息；B項(xiàng)不是吸引人們定居的原因。故選C。 33．What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson？ __B__ A．Two-thirds of them stayed there. B．One out of five people got rich. C．Almost everyone gave up. D
