2019年度高考英语人教版必修三课堂要点精析讲义：Unit4单元小结 23页

Our geography teacher says the earth is only one of the planets of the giant solar system.Unlike other planets, life exists on the earth, but life's origin is still a puzzle.Different religions and cultures have separate ideas.The teacher says it may be divided into four stages.‎ The first stage is about how the universe began.A widely accepted theory can explain it.After the “Big Bang” broke out, atom began to form and combine to create stars and other bodies.The second stage is how the earth formed.Between 4.5 and 3.8 billion years ago, clouds of dust floating in space settled into a solid globe.The earth became violent and it often exploded.The atmosphere and water appeared.Water is a fundamental matter for life to exist on the earth.It also dissolves harmful gases and acids.The third stage is about plants' and animals' appearance.At first, plants in the water appeared and multiplied.They produced oxygen, which encouraged animals in the water to exist.Later, green plants on the land caused animals on the land to appear.They first laid eggs and became babies.Later, mammals gave birth to babies directly.The last stage is that humans became the most important animals on the earth.We put too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to cause global warming.We must watch out how things will go and make laws to prevent the earth from becoming too hot.Now that we have taken measures, we will succeed in time.So let's cheer up and work together.‎ 我们的地理老师说地球只是广阔的太阳系中的一颗行星而已。不像其他的行星，地球上有生命存在，但生命的起源依旧是一个谜。不同的宗教和文化有各自的看法。老师说它可以被分为四个阶段。‎ 第一个阶段是关于宇宙是怎样诞生的。一个被普遍接受的理论可以解释它。“大爆炸”发生后，原子开始形成并结合成恒星和其他天体。第二个阶段是地球是怎样形成的。大约在38～45亿年前，漂浮在太空中的尘埃形成一个固体的球状物。地球活动剧烈，而且经常爆炸。大气层和水出现了。在地球上水是生命存在的最基本的物质。它同时也溶解有害气体和酸。第三个阶段是关于植物和动物的出现。首先，水生植物出现并繁殖。他们产生氧气，这使水生动物存在。后来，陆生植物使陆生动物出现。它们首先产卵，然后成为幼仔。后来，哺乳动物直接生幼仔。最后一个阶段是人类成为地球上最重要的动物。我们把大量的二氧化碳释放到大气层里，导致了全球变暖。我们必须密切注意事情的进展，制定法律阻止地球变得太热。既然我们已采取措施，我们最终会成功的。因此让我们振作起来一起努力吧。‎ 加餐练(一)　完形阅读组合练 Ⅰ.完形填空 I entered my office on the afternoon of December 20th and began to work.As the volunteer coordinator (协调人), I was __1__ for filling 2,500 volunteer positions in the month of December alone.‎ ‎__2__ the phone rang.The voice on the other end __3__ herself as Kimberly.She said she was __4__ to see if there were still any positions for her son Jake, who was expecting a(n) __5__ of coming to help.She explained what a __6__ it would be for Jake to have something to __7__ since he'd been diagnosed (诊断) with cancer.However, I __8__ having to tell him I could offer him very little __9__because there were no more positions.‎ After the phone call, I was deep in thought.Then, Mark, in charge of the pony (矮种马) rides, came in.In a(n) __10__ voice, he said, “__11__ I have to lift one more kid on one more horse, I may die.Jessica, I __12__ need another one with a strong back, even if it's just for a couple of hours.”‎ A smile lit up my face, and I said, “I think I __13__ a guy.”And a phone call later, Jake was scheduled to __14__Mark each night through the end of the event.‎ The next day, I made my way toward the pony rides.Jake __15__ with his back to me on the platform.Another volunteer waved at we, and Jake __16__.

Children abandoned or ignored by their fathers do not succeed as well as children in families where both parents are involved.‎ At the River House in Maryland, a church community is running a program called the Men's Retreat with the purpose of helping men become better fathers.Here fathers can get parental advice.The program is also open to children who don't have fathers in their lives.For them, the program is an opportunity to interact (互动) with male role models.‎ Businessman Pavel says though the Men's Retreat may take up some of his time to earn money, it has been a good opportunity to spend quality time with his son.He has realized that for boys, Father is the first teacher.And the gathering is also a great chance to think about how to improve the relationship with his wife.‎ Program organizer Victor Visotski notes that the son is going along his father's path and learns from him.The father's role in a daughter's life is as important as that in his son's life.A father for a daughter is a hero and he is the first man she admires.It is important that the father creates a family atmosphere filled with love, because the daughter observes the behavior of her father ‎ closely.Mr.Visotski says a father must take his duties as a parent as seriously as his career.Setting aside quality time to spend with his child is a good start.‎ 语篇解读：本文为说明文。抚养孩子历来被认为是母亲的角色。但在生活中，父亲对孩子的影响也是非常重要的。马里兰州举行的“男人的静修”活动可以帮助男人更好地扮演父亲的角色。‎ ‎1．We can learn from the modern sociology that ________.‎ A．a father's role in children's life is important B．a father can teach children more than a mother C．raising children should be a father's responsibility D．children having no fathers are less likely to succeed 解析：选A　推理判断题。由第一段“...when a father is not involved in life, it leads to problems”可知，现代社会学指出，生活中缺少父亲这个角色会导致许多问题。由此可知，父亲在孩子成长过程中起着重要作用。‎ ‎2．Which of the following is TRUE about the Men's Retreat?‎ A．It is for kids who are abandoned.‎ B．It aims to help men relax after work.‎ C．Children are not allowed to attend it.‎ D．It shows men how to act as fathers well.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。由第二段“...with the purpose of helping men become better fathers”可知，“男人的静修”活动目的是帮助男人成为更好的父亲。‎ ‎3．What does Pavel think of the Men's Retreat?‎ A．It is a waste of time and money.‎ B．It can help him find a new job at school.‎ C．It is a good chance for family gathering.‎ D．It helps him become a good father and husband.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。由第三段可知，Pavel说尽管参加这个活动会占用一些赚钱的时间，但这是一个和儿子共度美好时光、思考如何改善夫妻关系的好机会。由此可知，他认为这个活动不但会使他成为一个好父亲，还会成为一个好丈夫。‎ ‎4．According to Victor Visotski, ________.‎ A．a father has little influence on his daughter B．a daughter usually looks down upon her father C．fathers must learn to balance parenting and work D．fathers should play the main role in raising children 解析：选C　细节理解题。由最后一段可知，Victor ‎ Visotski指出男人要像认真工作一样认真承担起做父亲的责任。‎ 加餐练(二)　第Ⅱ卷规范增分练 Ⅰ.语法填空 In 1982, July 1st was officially established as Canada Day. __1__ (variety) events are organized on this day, including parades, concerts, festivals and firework displays, __2__ attract Canadians of all ages across the country.‎ Canada Day is the year's biggest national party. Canada's national flag can be seen everywhere and many people have their faces __3__ (paint) red and white, which are Canada's national colors.

The only problem is __10__ the concerts, parades and festivals may cause traffic jams in some major cities.‎ 语篇解读：本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了加拿大国庆节。　‎ ‎1．Various　空格中所填单词在句中修饰名词events，需用variety的形容词形式。‎ ‎2．which　关系代词which指代先行词events，引导非限制性定语从句，并在从句中作主语。‎ ‎3．painted　“have their faces painted red and white”是have sth. done结构，其中“painted red and white”是过去分词短语作宾语补足语。‎ ‎4．celebrations　空格中所填单词在句中作主语，需用celebrate的名词形式；由于谓语动词是are，故用celebration的复数形式。‎ ‎5．moving　sb. spend time doing sth.表示“某人花时间做某事”。‎ ‎6．as　be known as ...是固定短语，意思是“被称为……”。‎ ‎7．falls　这里说的是一般性情况，故用一般现在时。‎ ‎8．are provided　主语services是谓语动词动作的承受者，谓语动词用被动语态；这里说的是经常性情况，故用一般现在时。‎ ‎9．themselves　enjoy oneself表示“玩得愉快”。‎ ‎10．that　that引导表语从句，that在句中起连接作用。‎ Ⅱ.应用文写作 最近，你班同学就“太空探索是否值得”这一话题展开了一场讨论。请你根据下表提供的信息，用英语写一篇80词左右的短文介绍讨论的情况。‎ ‎30%的同学认为 不值得探索 离我们及我们的日常生活太遥远 浪费金钱，这些金钱本可用来解决地球上的饥饿、污染等问题 ‎70%的同学认为 值得探索 卫星已用来进行通讯传播、天气预报，使我们的生活更方便了 有望解决地球能源短缺等问题 参考范文：‎ Recently, students in our class have had a discussion on whether space is worth exploring.‎ On the one hand, 30% of us think that space exploration is not worthwhile. They think space is too far away from us and our daily life. And space exploration will waste a lot of money, which can be used to solve the problems such as starvation and pollution.‎ On the other hand, 70% think space is worthy to be explored. As we all know, satellites have been used for communication as well as weather forecast, which makes our life more convenient. Besides, if resources are found on other planets, the problem of energy shortages on our earth can be solved.‎ 第一部分　听力　(满分30分，限时20分钟)‎ 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分)‎ 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。‎ ‎1．What's the date today?‎ A．May 30th.　 　B．May 31st.　 　C．June 1st.‎ ‎2．Where was the boy last Monday?‎ A．In his school.‎ B．In Europe.‎ C．In China.‎ ‎3．How much does one adult ticket cost?‎ A．60 dollars.

I was worried you would think it was too far.‎ W：Well, it's true. I've never driven two hours just for a roast duck. But really, I think it's worth it.‎ ‎(Text 5)‎ W：What an accident!

Manners and menus are almost entirely opposite.‎ Menus in China are usually picture books. Almost every single dish has a picture. Chinese people order food according to the pictures, not the written descriptions on the menu or the descriptions from the waiters.‎ Furthermore, each table is typically only given one menu, and when the menu is placed before them, the waiter stands next to the table ready to write down the order. You don't sit at the table and talk for several minutes before ordering. You order when you sit almost immediately.‎ In China, people are used to dining in noisy environments, which are considered welcoming and joyful. So, if you need to call a waiter in China, call loudly and wave your hand. It's appropriate to stop anyone in the restaurant and ask them for something. This is not rude. It is expected!‎ And cold water? It doesn't exist at the dinner table in China. Hot water is almost always served, even in the middle of summer and even while eating the spiciest food. And if you order a beer or a bottle of water, better ask for it cold, or the waiter will serve at room temperature.‎ 第二部分　阅读理解　(满分35分，限时30分钟)‎ 第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ A Luna Grill is a fast casual dining restaurant, which offers healthy food at fair prices.

Sitting comfortably in the airplane seat, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat as I realized I had left my dress shoes at home. I was wearing running shoes for an important speech.‎ I knew I could buy a new pair when I land. Too late; the stores were already closed. What about in the morning? No, the next day was Sunday and my speech was scheduled for 9：‎00 a．m. Ninety seconds later, however, my cold sweat had been replaced with a single idea.‎ The next morning, I began my speech, “You might be wondering why I am wearing running shoes today. Well, it's about this request here. When I'm done speaking, I'll be running door to door and I want every one of you to come running with me, too.” My little “goofup” became a clever demonstration (示范) of action speaking louder than words.‎ My shoe lesson number two.‎ My brother was getting married. We had just witnessed the signing of the papers at their house, and they were rushing over to another place for the ceremony. As we locked up their house, my wife's shoes broke. So off to the nearest shoe store we flew. We knew they would wait for us before starting the ceremony. What we did not know was how long they would wait.‎ That day, my wife performed a miracle (奇迹) that no other woman has done before or since. She went into the store and came out just five minutes later with the perfect pair of shoes.‎ Perhaps the most important lesson here is that, contrary to popular belief, the shoe does not make the man/woman. But the lack of shoes can surely build character.‎ 语篇解读：本文为夹叙夹议文。突发的意外情况往往可以改变我们的旧习惯，从而帮助我们形成更加积极的性格和能力。‎ ‎24．Upon thinking of his shoes on the plane, the author felt ________.‎ A．proud　　　　　　　　　　 B．delighted C．panicky D．encouraged 解析：选C　推理判断题。由第二段“... I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat as I realized I had left my dress shoes at home”可推知，作者一想到自己将穿着跑鞋发表这个重要的演讲，感到非常惊慌。‎ ‎25．What does the underlined part “goofup” probably mean?‎ A．Image. B．Mistake.‎ C．Success. D．Present.‎ 解析：选B　‎ 词义猜测题。作者忘记了穿正式的鞋子，然而他却非常机智，把这样一个小失误演变为一个向客户们展示自己“用事实说话”的有力例证。由该词语境可知，goofup意为“错误、失误”。‎ ‎26．Before entering the shoe store, the author thought it ________.‎ A．strange to be in a dilemma for a second time B．a great pity to have to miss his brother's wedding C．important to test the quality of a new pair of shoes D．unlikely for his wife to finish shopping in a short time 解析：选D　细节理解题。由第六段“What we did not know was how long they would wait”及第七段“She went into the store and came out just five minutes later ...”可知，作者认为，按照常理妻子将会花费很长的时间在商店里挑选一双自己满意的鞋子。‎ ‎27．What's the message the author conveys in the text?‎ A．Emergencies can help shape our character.‎ B．You can never judge a person by his looks.‎ C．It's hard to change our character overnight.‎ D．Never buy shoes without trying them on first.‎ 解析：选A　主旨大意题。由最后一段“But the lack of shoes can surely build character”可知，通过两个有关鞋子的故事，作者表明的观点是：意外的突发情况往往可以改变我们的固有习惯，从而有助于塑造我们的积极个性。‎ C Scientists in England are using two selfdirected water vehicles to explore the animal and plant life of the Celtic‎ ‎Sea.‎ The Celtic Sea is a body of water off the southern coast of Ireland. The area is known for its unusual sea life. Scientists want to know why sea creatures are so attracted to this part of the Atlantic Ocean.‎ One of the research vehicles is powered by batteries (电池). It collects information for the National Oceanography Center in Southampton‎, ‎England, and the World Wildlife Fund. The vehicle's low energy requirements permit it to stay floating on water for up to 30 days. Reports of what it finds in the Celtic‎ ‎Sea are sent by satellite.‎ Stephen Woodward is an engineer who helped design the vehicle. He says the vehicle has equipment that can discover small organisms called zooplankton (浮游动物) and fish. He adds that other sensing equipment measures water currents and other features of sea life. The vehicle also creates a map of the sea.‎ Another vehicle is powered by the sun and the wind. It can stay floating on water for months. The robotic vehicle sends information about the socalled biodiversity hotspots. A biodiversity hotspot is an area of an ocean that has a lot of plant and animal life activity.‎ Lavinia Suberg is one of the scientists studying the Celtic‎ ‎Sea. She says productive ocean ‎ areas, like the Celtic‎ ‎Sea, attract zooplankton. The zooplankton then attracts fish.

The robots on display were in different sizes and shapes. We saw some new types of robots which we hadn't seen before. Such as household robots, nursing robots and educational robots. Some robots could do a great number of things just like human beings, including playing chess, playing ‎ table tennis, playing the piano and drawing pictures. In addition, we watched two wonderful performances given by robots.‎ This visit not only broadened our horizons, but also aroused our interest in science.‎ 第二节：概要写作(满分25分)‎ 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。‎ ‎ These days our society develops rapidly and forces people to rush. It appears that people have got used to being in a hurry. However, it is better for people to take their time and live their life at a slower pace than to hurry to get things done. ‎ The main reason that convinces us to oppose doing work in a hurry is the possibility of doing wrongs in a rush. When people do their jobs or take actions in a hurry, they cannot make a sound decision and probably regret later. As the saying goes, “Haste makes waste.” We should think carefully before making a decision and do our work less quickly. We should not make mistakes by doing work hurriedly. ‎ Slowing down the pace of life helps people enjoy their life better. For example, taking a train to some place certainly will take more time than taking a plane. However, taking a train makes people have enough time to get to know a lot of new friends. Besides, it allows people to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. On the contrary, being in a hurry will make us lose chances in enjoying our life. ‎ Finally, slower life pace provides better healthy conditions for us. As is known to all, taking actions in a hurry bothers people and raises their stress. People think if they are not in hurry, they will become a loser and that annoys them. Being in a hurry can hurt people both physically and mentally. According to some studies, people who have a slower pace suffer fewer diseases, tend to be happier and live much longer than those whose life is tense, even if the former finish jobs more slowly than the latter. ‎ In short, working quickly will bring about more material benefits to make our society more advanced. However, much stress can't bring enjoyment, friends and health, which are much more important than money and other material advantages. Therefore, take your time and live your life at a slower pace.‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ 参考范文：‎ To live life at a slower pace is better than to live life in a hurry.There are three reasons for this.(要点1) Firstly，doing things in a hurry will raise the possibility of making mistakes.(要点2) Secondly, being in a hurry will not give people enough time to enjoy their life.(要点3) Thirdly, doing things in a hurry raises people's pressure and therefore is bad for their health.(要点4) In brief, it is better for people to live life at a slower pace than to live life in a hurry.(要点5)‎
