unit 10 money (60分鐘81分)part a一、閱讀理解(共8小題;每小題2分,滿分16分)ai hated dinner parties.but i decided to give them another shot because im in london.and my friend mallery invited me.and because dinner parties in london are very different from those back in new york.there,“im having a dinner party means im booking a table for 12 at a restaurant,which you cant afford and well be sharing the check evenly,no matter what you eat.” worse,in manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives.theyll throw down cash,half of what they owe,and then people like me,who dont drink,end up paying even more.but if i try to use the same trick,the hostess will shout:“where are you going?” and its not likely that i can say i have somewhere to goeveryone know i have nowhere to go.but in london,dinner parties are in peoples homes.whats more,the guests are an interesting mix.the last time i went to one,the guests were from france,india,denmark and nigeria,it was like a gathering at the united nations in new york.the mix is less striking.its like a gathering at bloomingdales,a well-known department store.for new yorkers,talking about other parts of the world means brooklyn and queens in new york.but at mallerys,when i said that i had been to myanmar recently,people knew where it was.in new york people would think it was a usual new club.1.what does the underlined word “shot” in paragraph 1 probably mean?a.choice.b.try.c.style.d.goal.2.what does the author dislike most about dinner parties in new york?a.there is a strange mix of people.b.the restaurants are expensive.c.the bill is not fairly shared.d.people have to pay cash.3.what does the author think of the parties in london?a.a bit unusual.b.full of tricks.c.less costly.d.more interesting.4.what is the authors opinion of some new yorkers from her experience?a.easy-going.b.self-centered.c.generous.d.open-minded.【文章大意】作者在紐約的時候最討厭參加晚宴,但他仍然愿意嘗試一下倫敦的晚宴,并對倫敦和紐約兩個地方的晚宴進行了對比。1.b詞義推測題。從第一句的hated,到but意義上的轉(zhuǎn)折,說明盡管不喜歡,還是要“嘗試一下”,所以try的意思更接近shot。2.c細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“worse.theyll throw down cash,half of what they owe,and then people like me,who dont drink,end up paying even more.”可知,在紐約吃飯要均攤餐費,但有些人總是提前離席,留下不足的份子錢,而其余人則不得不攤更多。3.d推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容和其中的句子“whats more,the guests are an interesting mix.”可以推斷出倫敦的晚宴要比紐約的有趣。4.b推理判斷題。從最后一段的內(nèi)容可以推斷,作者對一些紐約人的看法是“以自我為中心的”。bthe boy made it!one sunday,nicholas,a teenager,went skiing at sugarloaf mountain in maine.in the early afternoon,when he was planning to go home,a fierce snowstorm swept into the area.unable to see far,he accidentally turned off the path.before he knew it,nicholas was lost,all alone!he didnt have food,water,a phone,or other supplies.he was getting colder by the minute.nicholas had no idea where he was.he tried not to panic.he thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on tv.it was time to put the tips he had learned to use.he decided to stop skiing.there was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put.the first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow.if he didnt,his body temperature would get very low,which could quickly kill him.using his skis,nicholas built a snow cave.he gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle.then he piled branches on top of himself,like a blanket,to stay as warm as he could.by that evening,nicholas was really hungry.he ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldnt lose too much water.not knowing how much longer he could last,nicholas did the only thing he couldhe huddled(蜷縮)in his cave and slept.the next day,nicholas went out to look for help,but he couldnt find anyone.he followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave,because without shelter,he could die that night.on tuesday,nicholas went out again to find help.he had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him.after two days stuck in the snow,nicholas was saved.nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for tv.he had often watched grylls survival show man vs.wild.thats where he learned the tips that saved his life.in each episode(一期節(jié)目)of man vs.wild,grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.when grylls heard about nicholas amazing deeds,he was super impressed that nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard nicholas had to work to stay alive.(2015北京高考)1.what happened to nicholas one sunday afternoon?a.he got lost.b.he broke his skis.c.he hurt his eyes.d.he caught a cold.2.how did nicholas keep himself warm?a.he found a shelter.b.he lighted some branches.c.he kept on skiing.d.he built a snow cave.3.on tuesday,nicholas .a.returned to his shelter safelyb.was saved by a searcherc.got stuck in the snowd.stayed where he was4.nicholas left grylls a very deep impression because he .a.did the right things in the dangerous situationb.watched grylls tv program regularlyc.created some tips for survivald.was very hard-working【文章大意】本文為記敘文,講述了一位叫尼古拉斯的少年在寒冷的野外滑雪迷路后,設(shè)法求生的經(jīng)歷。1.a細節(jié)理解題。由第一段中“before he knew it,nicholas was lost,all alone!”可知,尼古拉斯在滑雪歸途中迷了路,應(yīng)選擇a項。2.d細節(jié)理解題。第四段提到,尼古拉斯借助滑雪板建造了一個雪洞來容身保暖,d項與文意相符。3.b細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“on tuesday.when a volunteer searcher found him.”可知,尼古拉斯于周二被一位志愿搜尋者所救,應(yīng)選擇b項。4.a推理判斷題。由最后一段“.since he knew better than anyone how hard nicholas had to work to stay alive.”可知,尼古拉斯給格里爾斯留下了深刻的印象,是因為在這種危險的處境中尼古拉斯做了正確的事,應(yīng)選擇a項。二、語法填空(共10小題;每小題1.5分,滿分15分)one day i went to the phoenix park.i was taking photos of the bambis deer 1. i wandered into a mad scene,to say the least.a man was sobbing uncontrollably and was 2.(clear) pained.families out walking and others in the park went past him awkwardly trying 3.(avoid) him.i watched this for 10 minutes before

into his car and drive off 10. a little smile on his face as he took a final look back at me on the bench.i assume that he was remembering the good times they shared.1.when。be doing.when.為固定句型,意為“正在做某事,這時”。2.clearly。有一位男人在不停地啜泣,很顯然他非常痛苦。此處用副詞clearly修飾形容詞pained。3.to avoid。根據(jù)文意可知,人們繞過他走是為了避開他。try to do sth.“盡力做某事”。4.had passed。他的妻子去世發(fā)生在他們打算慶祝35周年結(jié)婚紀念日之前,即發(fā)生在過去的過去,所以用過去完成時。5.the/their。序數(shù)詞之前應(yīng)用定冠詞或形容詞性物主代詞修飾。6.where。在左邊、有效拍攝距離之外,有一條長凳,幾十年前他就是在那兒向她求婚的。先行詞bench為地點名詞,定語從句中缺少狀語,故用where引導(dǎo)。7.lucky。be lucky to do sth.“做某事很幸運”。8.listening。spend time doing sth.“花時間做某事”。9.arrangements。arrangement作“安排,籌備”講,常用復(fù)數(shù)形式。10.with。with a little smile“帶著一點微笑”。part b一、完形填空(共20小題;每小題1.5分,滿分30分)my

renewed their offer 10.it was also much more than we could afford,but far 11 than the original asking price.the next day,we got a 12 message that another buyer had offered a much higher price.even

will want to learn how to do.1 things that will improve your knowledge,skills or health are all great investments.however,before you start,you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.you may think investing in yourself means investing in your education.2 there are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.so what are some specific things you can do?3 reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge.im talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill,not fiction books.you can also take courses and attend seminars.these programs are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skills.4 only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation.moreover,investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money.although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment,that isnt 100% safe.even if you never experience your bank closing down,the return is little when inflation(通貨膨脹)is taken into consideration.5 but over time,they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.(2015甘肅武威第五中學(xué)月考)a.this is just one way.b.the benefits will stay with you.c.if you arent a reader,you should start with that.d.the more you do this,the more valuable you will be.e.of
