Ⅰ.單句語法填空(代詞)
1.Health experts believe that even a little exercise is far better than ________ at all.
答案:none 解析:考查代詞。句意:健康專家認為即使是一點點的鍛煉也比沒有鍛煉好得多。根據(jù)句意可知,此處應(yīng)用none,表示“沒有”。
2.Come on! Anybody here can learn to do a rock climb. There is ________ to it really.
答案:nothing 解析:考查不定代詞。句意:加油!這兒的任何人都能學(xué)會攀巖。真的很簡單。There is nothing to it“(做某事)沒有困難”,為習(xí)慣用語。
3.No matter how busy he is, Tom makes ________ a rule to see his parents every week.
答案:it 解析:考查代詞。句意:不論自己多忙,湯姆每周都要去看望父母,這是他的一貫做法。此處用it作形式賓語,后面的不定式短語作真正的賓語。
4.Air quality today is much worse than ________ in the 1980s because of too much air pollution.
答案:that 解析:考查替代詞。句意:由于空氣污染嚴重,現(xiàn)在的空氣質(zhì)量比20世紀80年代的空氣質(zhì)量差多了。本空用that代替前面的不可數(shù)名詞air quality表示同一類別中的不同事物。
5.As the two dictionaries are useful, I’ll take ________ and ________ of them is very important to me.
答案:both; either 解析:考查不定代詞。句意:由于這兩本詞典都有用,我會把它們都帶走,每一本對我來說都非常重要。根據(jù)句意可知,說話人對這兩本詞典都很滿意,故第一空用both;第二空所在句的謂語動詞為單數(shù),故空處應(yīng)用either,表示“(兩者中的)任何一個”。
6.If you don’t build your dream, someone will hire you to build ________.
答案:theirs 解析:考查代詞。句意:如果你不構(gòu)建自己的夢想,那么就會有人雇用你去構(gòu)建他們的夢想。所填空在句中作build的賓語,與前面的build your dream呼應(yīng),表示build their dreams,因此應(yīng)用名詞性物主代詞theirs代替their dreams。
7.—Who is standing over there?
—It must be ________ from an express company.
答案:somebody 解析:考查不定代詞。句意:——誰站在那兒?——肯定是快遞公司的某個人。表示不確定的某人要用不定代詞somebody。
8.—How much bread is there?
—________. I wish you could offer me some.
答案:None 解析:考查不定代詞。根據(jù)“I wish you could offer me some.”可知,此處表示沒有面包了,所以選None。
9.For the first time you take part in a race, ________ is very normal to feel tense.
答案:it 解析:考查it的用法。句意:第一次參加比賽,你感到緊張是很正常的。it在此作形式主語,真正的主語是后面的不定式to feel tense。
10.—Have you got any books on English grammar? I’d like to borrow ________.
—Yes, here you are. But you must return it by Friday.
答案:one 解析:句意:——你有關(guān)于英語語法方面的書嗎?我想借一本。——是的,給你。但你必須在周五之前歸還。此處one表示同類,因為不知道是哪本書,只知道是本英語語法書。
11.Mary’s parents admitted that she was always contrary to a wish of ________.
答案:theirs 解析:句意:瑪麗的父母承認她總是和父母的愿望相反。此處theirs相當(dāng)于their wish。
12.Mr Blark, ________ who we all admire,is a kind but strict teacher.
答案:one 解析:句意:布萊克先生是一個善良而又嚴格的老師,他是一位我們都很尊敬的老師。此處one=a teacher指一類老師。不能用the one, the one表示特指。
13.—What do you think about smoking?
—Well,just as someone puts ________, smoking kills.
答案:it 解析:句意:——你怎樣看待吸煙?——正如人們所說的那樣,吸煙可以要人命。put it(說),it用在不能直接跟賓語從句的動詞或動詞短語之后,作形式賓語。此類詞還有:enjoy,dislike,like,hate,love,don’t mind,be fond of,feel like,see to,appreciate等。
14.Although his excuse was as good as ________ other,I don’t believe that was a fact.
答案:any 解析:句意:盡管他的借口幾乎與其他的一樣,但我認為那不是事實。此處any other意為“其他的”。

Ⅱ.閱讀理解(議論說理類+人物故事類)
A
(2015屆高三大聯(lián)考一)
We all are tired of the terrible “Back when I was a kid...” stories that our parents never seem to run out of. Although it may seem strange, they were all kids once too. So much has changed since their childhood; each generation is more different than the next.
Now let’s go back to when most of your parents probably grew up-the seventies. Life has completely changed since then. There are the biggest differences between now and then.
Fashion is constantly changing. When we think of seventies fashion, bell bottoms, tie-dye shirts, and anything hippie(嬉皮士) comes to mind. Back in the seventies, skirts, leisure suits, and bell bottoms were popular. Nowadays, huge fashion trends for teens include Ugg boots, yoga pants, skinny jeans, and skater shoes. Teen fashion back then was greatly influenced by the anti-war movement; whereas today, fashion is mostly influenced by media and pop culture.
Furthermore, music and pop culture play a huge role in how we live today. In the seventies, popular music types included soft rock, rock, and of course disco. Back then, some popular artists included Elton John, the Jackson 5, and the Bee Gees. Today, the charts are ruled by hip-hop, rap, and pop music. Now the most well-known singers include Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, and Miley Cyrus. Music trends can change how we act, speak, and view the world. This is definitely true for both the seventies and now.
Another thing that also defines our culture is technology. Today, teens refuse to go anywhere without having their cell phones on them. An iPhone is a necessity and Twitter is the heart and soul of our social lives. But none of this even existed back then. Now teens depend on technology to socialize but back then kids actually had face time with each other. Definitely one of the biggest changes in society since the seventies is our dependence on technology.
