completely sure about sth.坚信，深信，确信；effect常与on连用，意为“对……的影响”。以上两个均属于固定搭配，故选C。‎ ‎6.badly off　穷的；缺少的 ‎(回归课本P18)Unfortunately his father died，leaving the family even worse off，so Charlie spent his childhood looking after his sick mother and his brother.‎ 不幸的是他父亲去世了，使得他的家境更加贫困，因此查理的童年是在照顾生病的母亲和弟弟中度过的。‎ ‎[归纳拓展]‎ ‎[例句探源]‎ ‎①(牛津P131)We aren’t too badly off but we can’t afford a house like that.‎

解析：选B。根据前面的“引进了现代化的耕作方法”和连词than来判断，村民的生活比以前“更富裕了”，所以用well off的比较级better off。worse off是badly off的比较级。‎ ‎7.pick out　挑出；辨别出 ‎(回归课本P18)Charlie first picks out the laces and eats them as if they were spaghetti.‎ 查理首先挑出鞋带来吃，像是吃意大利面一样。‎ ‎[归纳拓展]‎ ‎[例句探源]‎ ‎①(牛津P1492)She was picked out from dozens of applicants for the job.‎ 她从大批的求职者中被选中承担这项工作。‎ ‎②It took Mary a long time to pick out a beautiful dress

‎【教材原句】　Unfortunately his father died，leaving the family even worse off...‎ 不幸的是他的父亲去世了，整个家庭状况更糟了……‎ ‎【句法分析】　leaving...为现在分词短语作结果状语。现在分词作结果状语，表示顺其自然的结果。‎ ‎①His parents died，leaving him an orphan.‎ 他父母双亡，成了孤儿。‎ ‎②The child fell，striking his head against the door.‎ 小孩摔了一跤，头在门上碰了一下。‎ ‎③European football is played in 80 countries，making it the most popular sport in the world.‎

heard from again.‎ 她的父亲离家出走，从此杳无音讯。‎ ‎⑥He hurried to the airport only to be told the plane had been put off.‎ 他匆忙赶到机场，结果被告知航班推迟了。‎ ‎[即境活用]　‎ ‎8．(2010年高考重庆卷)The news shocked the public，__________to great concern about students’ safety at school.‎ A．having led　　　　　　 B．led C．leading D．to lead 解析：选C。句意：这条新闻使广大民众感到很震惊，引起了人们对在校学生安全的担忧。考查非谓语动词作结果状语。首先排除B和D两项；having done 指动作先于谓语动词发生，在此不符合语境，故只能选择C。‎ ‎9．(2011年成都外国语学校模拟)Oil prices have risen________32 percent since last year，________a record $84.65 a barrel on Nov.9.‎ A．by；reached B．by；reaching C．by；to reach D．to；reaching 解析：选B。考查介词的用法及非谓语动词的用法。介词by表程度，reaching短语在句中作结果状语。不定式也可作结果状语，但常与only或just连用，表示一种意想不到的结果。‎ ‎10．(2011年绵阳诊断)The financial crisis that originated(源于)on Wall Street swept the world，thus________large numbers of workers jobless.‎ A．leaving B．to leave C．left D．have left 解析：选A。考查非谓语动词的用法。动词leave与其逻辑主语the financial crisis之间是主谓关系，所以用leaving...作结果状语，相当于which left...。‎ 作文指导 主动句和被动句的变换 什么时候用被动，什么时候用主动，主要是由陈述对象决定的。英语写作中特别强调陈述对象的一致性，因此考生在选择主动和被动时一定要慎重。‎ 主动变被动 ‎1．不需体现动作的执行者。‎ ‎【佳句选粹】‎ ‎【原文】‎ ‎【优化】‎ It will certainly produce a great change in the world’s communications.‎ A great change will certainly be produced in the world’s communications. ‎ ‎【分析】　本句强调“a great change”，使用被动语态会使其更符合英文表达。‎ ‎2.需要强调动作的承受者。‎ ‎【佳句选粹】‎ ‎【原文】‎ ‎【优化】‎ The earthquake destroyed many buildings and houses on May 12th,2008.‎ Many buildings and houses were destroyed by the earthquake on May 12th,2008.‎ ‎【分析】　为了强调“many buildings and houses”被毁坏，用被动语态更好。‎ ‎3.保持陈述对象的一致，以求行文连贯。‎ ‎【佳句选粹】‎ ‎【原文】‎ ‎【优化】‎ My mother’s words moved me，and I felt so ashamed for my stubbornness.‎ I was so moved by my mother’s words，and I felt so ashamed for my stubbornness.‎ ‎【分析】　为了保证两个句子的主语一致，把第1个句子变为被动语态，以使句子连贯。‎ 被动变主动

listening more to their children，so they will understand them better.‎ ‎【分析】　本句想表达“现在父母们更注重倾听孩子们了”，因此句子要体现“most parents”的行为，因此用主动语态。‎ ‎2.保持陈述对象的一致，以求行文连贯。‎ ‎【佳句选粹】‎ ‎【原文】‎ ‎【优化】‎ If we don’t know how the wastes should be used，we can sell them to the recycling station.‎ If we don’t know how to use the wastes，we can sell them to the recycling station.‎ ‎【分析】　原文中if引导的从句中的宾语从句 (how the...used) 的被动语态导致 if 从句中前后陈述对象混乱，影响了句意的明晰和语言的流畅。‎ 单元综合知识能力测试 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 话题 词数 建议用时 幽默 ‎361‎ ‎8分钟 ‎(2018·厦门质检)A culture's values can be mirrored by its humor. Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes, who disliked humor, “Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from some sudden thought of feeling far better than others.” He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrowmindedness.‎ However, Mordechai Gordon, Ph.D of Education, insists, “Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than ‎ serious.” I agree with Gordon. Learning to look at the world through humor is important.‎ In the United States, every four years an election occurs. Without humor as a way to express their feelings, how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming？Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture. They are mothering the masses by metaphorically (隐喻地) airplaneing politics into our mouths. They make politics fun.‎ Of course, politics is only one type of humor. Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition. American pop culture promotes an unhealthy selfimage. On the topic of selfimage, Hari Kondabolu stands out. He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”， describing their hit song “Don't Cha” as a negative representation of women. He points out an obvious offence in American culture.‎ A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner. Amongst other things, mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.‎ Of course, humor is not always used for good purposes. Humor can be linked to vulgarity (庸俗) and racism, but, like everything else, it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves, our failures and our connection with one another.‎ Though life may seem tough and depressing at times, all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles (皱纹) to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn't aware of.‎ With that in mind, remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.‎ 语篇解读：‎ 一种文化的价值能通过其幽默感表现出来。本文作者介绍了自己对幽默的看法，并决定用幽默的态度来面对生活。‎ ‎1．Thomas Hobbes believed that humor ________.‎ A．was only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel better B．resulted in narrowmindedness of human beings C．had the power to mirror personal glory and national values D．was for people to view the world from another angle 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第一段可知，Thomas Hobbes不喜欢幽默，并从他的话中“Laughter is nothing ... better than others.”可知，故选A。‎ ‎2．What is the author's attitude towards political humor?‎ A．Worried.　　　　　　　 B．Disappointed.‎ C．Curious. D．Appreciative.‎ 解析：选D　观点态度题。根据第三段中的“Without humor ... way of lemming？”及“They make politics fun.”可知，作者对于政治幽默持赞赏的态度。appreciative“欣赏的，赏识的”。‎ ‎3．The fourth paragraph is developed mainly ________.‎ A．by example B．by process C．by comparison D．by classification 解析：选A　写作手法题。根据第四段的内容可知，作者是通过举例子来支撑自己的观点的，故选A。‎ ‎4．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?‎ A．Chaplin wasn't aware of being laughed at.‎ B．The author feels helpless and sad about getting older.‎ C．Never be the one who laughs at other people.‎ D．The author is determined to face life with a sense of humor.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据最后两段可知，尽管生活有时候会很艰难，但仍然有连卓别林都没有意识到的幽默，要记得用幽默的态度来面对生活，故选D。‎ B 话题 词数 建议用时 网络的影响 ‎331‎ ‎7分钟 ‎(2018·成都七中高三月考)After having more than a few acquaintances online, it might come as a blow to keen social networkers like Barack Obama, or even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg himself.‎ According to a research, the average person has in fact twice as many online friends as physical ones. Users of socialnetworking sites have on average 121 online friends as compared with physical ones. The study also claims that people tend to be more open, confident and honest with their virtual friends than their “real” ones.‎ ‎“For most people, the Internet is a way of keeping in touch with loved ones and friends, but for people who are isolated due to illness, it plays a more vital role, and can often act as a lifeline，” says Helen Oxley, a psychologist at Wythenshawe hospital. “People with illnesses often rely on the Internet to facilitate (促进) friendships, since they blog and use networking sites as a way of dealing with their illness. It can foster (培养) a sense of social connection for those who frequently feel isolated, which is important to psychological wellbeing.”‎ In wider society, the ways in which friendships are formed are changing, with people recognizing that they can develop deep and meaningful connections with others that they've never met, and may never meet. About one in ten people has either met their best friends ‎ online, or believes they can make lifelong friends on the Web.‎ The findings highlight how social introductions are also changing. Only 5 percent would ask for someone's phone number, while 23 percent are now likely to ask for an email address or a full name with the intention of adding the person to their social network.‎ At the same time, however, a questionnaire completed by 4,427 suggests that 20 percent of parents believe their children's education is affected by surfing the Net. They think their children are doing poorly at school due to the amount of time they spend on noneducational websites.‎ 语篇解读：文章主要讲述了网络对人们社交生活的积极影响。但也有家长认为，孩子们花太多的时间在非教育网站上影响了他们在学校的表现。‎ ‎5．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 most probably refers to________.‎ A．people spending too much time surfing the Net B．people relying on the Internet to connect with friends C．people having more virtual friends than real ones D．people making meaningful connections with strangers 解析：选C　代词指代题。根据第一段的内容，特别是“After having more than a few acquaintances online”可知，it应指那些喜欢在网络上结交虚拟朋友的人，故选C。‎ ‎6．We can infer from the text that________.‎ A．sick people can recover more quickly by surfing the Net B．students get important information online ‎ C．students who surf the Net always perform not so well ‎ D．people tend to trust their virtual friends more than their real ones 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第二段内容，特别是第三句“The study also claims that people tend to be more open, confident and honest with their virtual friends than their ‘real’ ones.”可知选D。‎ ‎7．What percentage of parents believe that the Internet has a bad effect on their children?‎ A．About 5 percent.　　 B．About 10 percent. ‎ C．About 20 percent. D．About 23 percent. ‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句可知选C。‎ ‎8．In the next part, the author will probably discuss________.‎ A．how children make use of the Internet to study B．how children learn about the world through the Net C．how parents feel about their children's studies D．how much time children spend on the Internet 解析：选D　推理判断题。最后一段介绍父母们不同意孩子们接触网络，他们认为孩子们功课不好是由于他们在非教育网站上花费的时间太长。因此文章往下写应继续讨论孩子们在网络上花费多少时间比较合适，故选D。‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 ‎(2018·江西省名校联盟高三质检)Brian Tagalog was born without arms.
