2015高考英语（unit 3 life in the future）一轮复习题 6页

Unit 3　Life in the future Ⅰ.语法单句填空 ‎1．________(lack) money, it remains to see whether we can put the idea into practice.‎ 答案：Lacking　句意：因为缺钱，我们是否把这一观点付诸于实践有待进一步观察。lack与逻辑主语we之间为主动关系，故用v.ing形式作状语，此处不强调分词动作先于谓语动作发生，故排除D项。‎ ‎2．They tried to find a table for two. But they were all taken________.‎ 答案：up　考查动词短语。句意：他们设法找到两个人的桌子，但它们都被占了。take up“占据；占用”。‎ ‎3．The heavy fog in London made ________ deep impression on us, which was sometimes so heavy that we lost sight of everything around us.‎ 答案：a　考查冠词。make a deep impression on sb.为固定搭配，意为“给某人留下深刻印象”；lose sight of也是固定搭配，sight前不用冠词，意为“看不见”。‎ ‎4．As the meeting was on, the man who was late slid________ the meeting room without being noticed.‎ 答案：into　句意：由于会议正在进行，迟到的那个人在没被注意的情况下溜进了会议室。slide into“溜进”。‎ ‎5．After the ________(adjust) of the arrangement of the programs, most people find it easy to enjoy what they like in their spare time.‎ 答案：adjustment　句意：节目安排做出调整之后，很多人发现在他们的休闲时间很容易欣赏到他们喜欢的东西。adjustment“调整；调节；适应”。‎ ‎6．________(remind) not to drive after drinking, some drivers are still trying their luck, which is really dangerous.‎ 答案：Reminded　考查过去分词作状语的用法。句意：尽管被提醒不要酒后开车，一些司机仍然心存侥幸，这十分危险。remind和其逻辑主语some drivers是动宾关系，故用remind的过去分词形式。‎ ‎7．—Tony, do remember to send the report to the sales manager!‎ ‎—Got________.‎ 答案：it　考查情景交际。句意：——Tony，记住将报告送给销售经理。——明白。Got it“明白；懂了”，与句意相符。‎ ‎8．—Please remember to give Mary the money you have owed her.‎ ‎—Yes, I will give it to her ________(instant) I see her.‎ 答案：the instant/instantly　the instant/instantly相当于as soon as，引导时间状语从句，意为“一……就……”。‎ ‎9．In those successful deaf dancers' opinion, dancing is an activity ________ sight matters more than hearing.‎ 答案：where　考查定语从句。从句子结构分析来看定语从句中缺少地点状语，因此应选where。‎ ‎10．The young man sped________ the car, hoping to get home before the time for dinner.‎ 答案：up　考查短语意义。句意：那个年轻人加快了车速，希望能够在晚饭前到家。speed up“加速”。‎ Ⅱ.阅读理解 ‎(2013·石家庄一模)‎ In 2012, I found a letter which was never opened. This is what it said：‎ Dear Sherri，‎ By the time you read this you will be 30. At the age of 18, I had so many hopes and dreams about your life.‎ Now I hope that you have traveled everywhere and maybe settled down somewhere in Australia, doing some research in the field of genetics. I hope you're married to the man of your dreams. The man of mine is Gwynn. You'll probably have two children.‎ If everything goes according to plan, you'll be living in Australia in a big house with a lot of land, a dog—a yellow labrador, Gwynn and your two beautiful children. Hopefully you have a career in the medical field, maybe doing research in genetics. Gwynn will be a computer programmer.‎ However, if things don't go according to plan for you, I wish you all the love, happiness and joy in the world.‎ Be happy and live life to its fullest.‎ Love，‎ Sherri “‎‎18”‎ When I read this for the first time since writing it, I was floored. Even now I still can't help but think this is really cool. I find it fascinating how the dreams of a young and naive (天真) little girl can become a grown woman's reality. So much of what I wanted for myself has come true.‎ I'm curious if you have ever written anything to your future yourself and how it stacks up (累加) to your current reality. If you haven't, will you join me in writing a letter now to yourself in 10 years from now? It's an interesting little experiment.‎ 文章大意：本文为一篇说明文。作者通过叙述自己的故事，号召读者给未来的自己写一封信，去规划自己的未来，实现自己的梦想。‎ ‎1．Who is the writer of the letter mentioned in the text?‎ A．Sherri's friend.　　　　　 B．Gwynn's friend. ‎ C．Sherri's mother. D．Sherri herself.‎ 答案：D　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“...if you have ever written anything to your future yourself”和“will you join me in writing a letter now to yourself”，再根据上文信件最后的署名Sherri可知，文章中的那封信是18岁的Sherri写给30岁的自己的一封信。故答案选D。‎ ‎2．What does the underlined word “floored” probably mean?‎ A．Disappointed. B．Astonished. ‎ C．Encouraged. D．Frightened.‎ 答案：B　词义猜测题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“Even now I still can't help but think this is really cool. I find it fascinating”可知，作者直到现在都觉得难以置信，因此floored应为“吃惊，惊讶”之意。故答案选B。‎ ‎3．What might be the purpose of the text?‎ A．To invite more people to follow her example.‎ B．To describe an unusual experience to the readers.‎ C．To show great concern to the woman named Sherri.‎ D．To expect more people to share her curiosity.‎ 答案：A　写作意图题。根据文章最后一段最后两句可知，作者这篇文章旨在呼吁读者和她一样，也去给未来的自己写一封信。故答案选A。‎ ‎4．In college, Sherri was most likely to major in ________.‎ A．computer engineering B．medical science C．children education D．business management 答案：B　推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段最后一句“So much of what I wanted for myself has come true”，再结合信件当中第三段倒数第二句中的“...have a career in the medical field, maybe doing research in genetics”可知，作者实现了自己当年的梦想，那么她在大学里学的应该就是医疗科学专业。故答案选B。‎ Ⅲ.完形填空 ‎(2013·长春市一调)‎ I had a bad habit of skipping to the last pages of a book.
