[深圳市2019届高三第一次调研]
Frances Stevens Reese Woodland Trail Guide
The Woodland Trail was opened to the public on October 21, 1997. Boscobel's Board of Directors adopted a formal decision of naming the Woodland Trail in honor of the former Boscobel Board member, Frances Stevens Reese (1917—2003), one year after her death.
The trail is approximately 10 miles in length, leading down to Constitution Forest. When the West Point Glass Factory was operating during the Civil War, trees for miles around were cleared to provide firewood. Walking out of the forest, you will find a large mass of native hard rock about three billion years old.
Throughout this country path, you will find picture boards identifying birds and plants local to this region. You will also find signs with historical and environmental information written by area specialists.
When you take a walk through this “undiscovered” forest land, please be a considerate guest.
●Before walking along the trail, please purchase a pass in the Carriage House. Plan ahead, so you will be back by closing time.
●Follow the trail markers and remain on the trail. Besides protecting the fragile forest ecosystem, you will reduce the risk of getting hurt by poisonous plants and snakes.
●Leave rocks, plants, animals and artworks where you see them so that the person behind you can have the same experience.
●Carry out whatever you carry in because there are no rubbish containers on the trail. If you happen to see a piece of litter, be a good guest and pick it up.

课后提能练(二十四)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】 本文介绍了关于弗朗西丝·史蒂文斯·里斯“林地步道”的一些情况及游客在参观时的注意事项。
1.D 考查细节理解。根据第一段第二句“Boscobel's Board of Directors adopted a formal decision of naming the Woodland Trail in honor of the former Boscobel Board member, Frances Stevens Reese (1917—2003), one year after her death.”可知,弗朗西丝·史蒂文斯·里斯于2003年去世,在她去世一年后,博斯科贝尔董事会正式通过了一项决议,即为了纪念弗朗西丝·史蒂文斯·里斯,以她的名字命名了这条林地步道,由此可知,应选D项。
2.C 考查细节理解。根据第三段内容可知,在这条步道上,你会发现一些标识本地鸟类和植物的图板,以及由当地专家撰写的有关历史和环境信息的标志,故C项正确。
3.A 考查推理判断。根据题干中的关键词“a thoughtful visitor”可定位到文章第四段及该段之后的四条建议。根据这几条建议及各选项内容可知,A项“使野生生物不受干扰”正确,对应文中第三条建议中的内容。

【高频词回顾】 impression n. 印象 break down 出故障,坏掉 afford to do sth. 承担得起做某事 step in介入 pack up 打包 hit vt. 袭击 modest adj. 谦虚的 cheerful adj. 乐观的 spread v. 传播
1.B 根据第二段中的“He left at midnight” 可知,Walter Carr在半夜出发去工作所在地,故可推知他在“黑暗(dark)”中走了22公里,故选B项。
2.A 根据文中的“walked”可推知,Carr的交通“工具(vehicle)”在他开始新工作的前一晚坏了。
3.A 根据“he decided to walk”可知,Carr“没有(failed)”找到交通工具,故选A项。
4.C 他知道自己不能“错过(miss)”这个工作机会,于是决定走着去。
5.D 他决定走着去并且“计算出(figure out)”走着去32公里外的工作地点需要花费多长时间。
6.B 他半夜出发以便他能按时到达顾客的家中。make it意为“准时到达,赶上”。
7.C 在当地警察介入帮助这个年轻人之前,据说Carr已经走了大约22公里。step in意为“介入”。
8.D 听完他的“故事(story)”后,警察带Carr去吃了早餐。
9.A 随后,警察又将Carr送到顾客Jenny Lamey家中。give sb. a ride意为“让某人搭便车,载某人一程”。
10.B 由上文可知,Carr的新工作所在公司Bellhops是个搬家公司,故他被“安排(scheduled)”帮助顾客Jenny Lamey搬家。
11.C 根据语境可知,此处表示在其余“搬家工人(movers)”到达之前。
12.C 根据空后的“rest until everyone else arrived”可知,顾客Lamey问Carr是否想要“上楼(upstairs)”休息一下。
13.D 根据空后的“said he could go ahead and get started”可知,Carr“谢绝了(declined)”顾客的建议,说他能行,可以开始工作了。
14.B 从上文可知,Lamey要搬家,因此Lamey一家和Carr开始“打包(packing up)”。
15.A Carr告诉Lamey,他和他的妈妈从新奥尔良“搬(moved)”到了伯明翰。
16.B 根据语境可推知,Carr在卡特里娜飓风中失去了“家园(home)”。

18.C 根据语境可推知,Lamey说她被Carr和他的旅程深深地“感动了(touched)”。

20.A 这件事“迅速地(rapidly)”传播,感动了世界上的许多人。
Ⅲ.语法填空
【语篇解读】 研究发现,合唱可以缓解压力,减少沮丧,有利于精神健康。
1.that 考查同位语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导的从句解释说明“a finding”,作其同位语,空处在句中不作句子成分,仅起连接作用,故用that。
2.anxiety 考查名词。分析句子结构可知,本空作reducing的宾语,与depression并列,故用名词anxiety。
3.called 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,动词call和其逻辑主语“a community singing group”构成动宾关系,故用其过去分词形式called。
4.to examine 考查非谓语动词。此处表示一个研究小组进行该研究是为了调查与他人一起唱歌是如何影响精神健康的,表目的,故用动词不定式to examine。
5.who/that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处引导限制性定语从句,先行词为people,从句中缺少主语,故填who或that。
6.an 考查冠词。part在此处为可数名词,且在文中第一次提及,故用不定冠词修饰,又essential的发音以元音音素开头,故填an。
7.less 考查副词的比较级。根据下文“enhanced their mood...feeling of wellbeing”可知,合唱帮助人们缓解压力,即帮助人们感受到更少的压力,故用副词的比较级less,修饰其后的形容词“stressed”。
8.to 考查介词。contribute to sth.是固定搭配,意为“促成某事”,故填to。
9.participants 考查名词的数。participant“参与者”为可数名词,根据空前的“All of the”可知,此处表示复数的概念,故填participants。
10.represented 考查动词的时态。分析句子结构可知,本句缺少谓语;根据后一句中的“stood out”及全文的基本时态为一般过去时可知,此处应用一般过去时。故填represented。
Ⅳ.应用文写作
【写作思路】 这是一篇提纲类应用文,需要写的内容已经列出:(1)朋友对校园文化感兴趣;(2)推荐学校的微信公众号;(3)表明推荐的理由以及介绍微信公众号的内容等。在写作的时候,考生在包含所给要点的基础上,再适当添加些内容,使文章更充实。写作时要注意准确运用时态,使上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系,不能出现文章脱节的问题。
