特色重组练八
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Summer is almost here, and the weather is heating up. Are you drinking enough water? Many kids aren't, according to a new study.
The study's lead author, Erica Kenney, originally planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids were consuming at school. However, during her research, she found that many kids were simply not drinking enough water. Boys were 76% more likely than girls not to have enough water in their systems. Nearly one quarter of the kids in the survey reported drinking no plain water at all.
“These findings are significant because they highlight a potential health issue that hasn't been given a lot of attention in the past,” said Kenney. “Even though for most of these kids this isn't an immediate health threat, this is an issue that could really be reducing the quality of life and wellbeing for many children and youth.”
How much is enough?
The human body is made up of 60% water. Not drinking enough water can lead to pathema,_such as headaches, poor physical performances, and even more serious issues. Your body needs more water when you are in hot climates, when you are physically active, and if you have a fever.
The United States National Agriculture Library says on average, kids need between 10~14 cups of water every day. This water can come from a mix of drinks and foods that contain high amounts of water.
Tips for Staying Hydrated
◆Carry a water bottle for easy access.
◆Choose water instead of other beverages when eating out. Generally, you will save money and reduce calories.
◆Add a piece of lemon to your water. This may improve the taste, and you might drink more water than you usually do.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了孩子们身体缺水的危害,并提供了保持身体足够水量的方法和建议。
1.What did Erica Kenney want to study in the beginning?
A.What effect lacking water could have.
B.What made kids dislike drinking water.
C.How much sugary drinks kids had at school.
D.Whether kids had enjoyed healthy diet at school.
答案:C 细节理解题。由第二段中的“originally planned to look into the amount
of sugary drinks kids were consuming at school”可知,Erica Kenney最初是想调查孩子们在学校喝了多少含糖饮料。
2.What can we infer from Kenney's words?
A.Kids' health wasn't cared before.
B.Lacking water can be harmful to kids.
C.Her findings can't be more important.
D.Health is connected with the life quality.
答案:B 推理判断题。由第三段中的“this is an issue that could really be reducing the quality of life and wellbeing for many children and youth”可知,缺水会影响孩子们的健康。
3.What does the underlined word “pathema” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A.Thirst. B.Disease.
C.Disadvantages. D.Trouble.
答案:B 词义猜测题。由画线词后的“such as headaches, poor physical performances, and even more serious issues”可推测,pathema指“疾病”。
4.What are kids advised not to drink?
A.Beverages. B.Plain water.
C.Water from fruit. D.Water from vegetables.
答案:A 细节理解题。由Tips for Staying Hydrated中的“Choose water instead of other beverages when eating out.”可知,作者建议孩子们不喝饮料。
consume vt. 吃;喝;消耗;消费 highlight vt. 突出;强调 on average 平均
第三段第二句:Even though for most of these kids this isn't an immediate health threat, this is an issue that could really be reducing the quality of life and wellbeing for many children and youth.
译文:即使对大多数孩子来说,这并不是直接的健康威胁,但这个问题确实会降低许多儿童和青少年的生活质量和健康。
分析:这是一个主从复合句,even though引导让步状语从句。主句中that引导定语从句,修饰先行词issue。

Reading is a skill that affects all parts of our daily life—from road signs to restaurant menus. And like most skills, it should be practiced every day. But it should also be fun, not a chore. Today some Shanghai teachers give us a means of getting
better and having fun.
At Shanghai Community International School, students cozy (舒适) up with a good book with nursery teacher Jenna Lelievre. Every year, the SCIS Hongqiao ECE campus joins the celebration of International Literacy Day.
Every year, our SCIS Hongqiao ECE campus joins in on International Literacy Day, a global celebration of literacy and it's important to individuals, communities and societies.
Started in 1967, the International Literacy Day is a UNESCO—declared worldwide celebration of reading aimed at highlighting the importance of literacy, the ability to read and write.
This year, the day was September 8 and the theme was “Reading for the Future”. Students were allowed to leave their school uniform at home and come in dressed as their future jobs! Our youngest readers were also encouraged to bring in their favorite books to schools, which they then shared with classmates.
The day is a good reminder to stop and ask ourselves: Is there any skill we take more for granted than the ability to read? Road signs would be confusing; you couldn't order from a menu unless it had pictures. Not being able to read goes well beyond not being able to enjoy a good book, it has much bigger implications that influence all aspects of daily life. That's what I want our school community to think about when thinking about the Literacy Day.
So what can we do to celebrate this day? First of all, I think it's a good chance for us to be thankful that we have the ability to read and all of the advantages the skill has brought us. It's also a great idea to start making books and literature a regular part of your dinner conversations. Talk about how life would be different without books or the ability to read.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章以上海一所学校庆祝读书日为例,说明读书对未来生活的重要性。
5.What can we infer about the students at Shanghai Community International School?
A.They were all capable of reading and writing.
B.They enjoyed celebrating reading worldwide.
C.They felt easy when reading with the teacher.
D.They could read road signs or restaurant menus.
答案:C 推理判断题。由第二段中的“students cozy (舒适) up with a good book with nursery teacher Jenna Lelievre”可知,他们与老师Jenna Lelievre在一起看书时,感到很放松、舒适。
6.Which of the following best explains “implications” underlined in Paragraph 6?
A.Effects. B.Results.
C.Impressions. D.Advantages.
答案:A 词义猜测题。由画线词所在句可知,不识字远不止是不能欣赏一本好书,它还有更大的影响,影响到日常生活的方方面面。故此处画线词等同于effects,表示“影响”。
7.How did the school keep pace with this year's reading theme?
A.By setting September 8 as this year's reading day.
B.By sharing the favorite books with other classmates.
C.By highlighting the importance of literacy and ability.
D.By allowing students to be dressed as their future jobs.
答案:D 细节理解题。由第五段第一、二句可知,为了顺应今年的阅读主题,学校允许学生不穿校服,而是穿上自己未来的职业装进校。
8.What is probably the best title of this text?
A.Book: a real friend of your life
B.Theme: reading for your future
C.Reading: a vital tool for your life
D.Literacy Day: a day to be thankful
答案:C 标题判断题。文章开篇提到“不读书影响日常生活”,中间提到“为未来而读书”,结尾提到“没有书或阅读能力生活会有多么不同”。因此可以判断“阅读:生活的重要工具”最适合作文章标题。
reminder n. 引起回忆的事物 take sth. for granted 认为……是理所当然的事情 literature n. 文学;文献;著作
最后一段第二句:First of all, I think it's a good chance for us to be thankful that we have the ability to read and all of the advantages the skill has brought us.
译文:首先,我认为这是一个很好的机会,让我们感谢我们有阅读能力,感谢这种技能给我们带来的所有好处。
分析:这是一个主从复合句,think后面是省略了that的宾语从句。从句中thankful 后面的that引导宾语从句;the skill has brought us是省略了关系代词that/which的定语从句,修饰先行词advantages。
Ⅱ.语法填空
As a student, you should try the following tips in order to perform well in the classroom.
First, know your topic. To make __1__ effective presentation, you should be
familiar with the topic. Forgetting what you say on the stage will damage the __2__ (perform) and lead to stage fright.
Then, mind your language. Your language should match the kind of presentation that you are doing. For example, if it's a wellknown play, use the exact dialogs, __3__ if it's a puppet show, then see to it that the vocabulary __4__ (use) is in a comic tone instead of a serious one. The language makes a huge difference in a good presentation.
Last but not least, be __5__ (confidence). Have confidence, and you __6__ (get) higher marks. Practice your presentation a couple of times to deal with your fears about the stage and audience. __7__ (conduct) yourself on the stage with confidence is __8__ (certain) the key to success.
A presentation gives you an opportunity __9__ (show) your talents. It permits you to explore the potential within yourself. Presentation skills learned __10__ early childhood are always something that can help you achieve success in the future.
1.________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5.________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9.________ 10.________
1.an 考查冠词。make an effective presentation意为“做一次有效的演讲”。
2.performance 考查词性转换。冠词the后面的中心词应该用名词形式。
3.and 考查连词。and连接两个并列的句子,两个句子中都有if引导的条件状语从句。
4.used 考查非谓语动词。所使用的语言应该是戏剧性的而不应该是严肃的。动词use与所修饰的名词vocabulary构成逻辑上的被动关系,所以用过去分词做后置定语。
5.confident 考查词性转换。在系动词be后面应该用形容词作表语。所以填confident。
6.will get 考查动词的时态。句意:有了信心,你将会取得好的成绩。表示将来的可能性,用一般将来时态。
7.Conducting 考查非谓语动词。此处在该句中作主语,所以用动名词形式。
8.certainly 考查词性转换。此处用副词certainly作状语,修饰整个句子。
9.to show 考查非谓语动词。opportunity to do sth. “做某事的机会”。
10.in 考查介词。in early childhood意为“在幼年时代”。
Ⅲ.短文改错
Recently, we've talked about should be the news that our English teacher is retiring next month. Heard the news, we felt our hearts were filled in love and respect for her. In our eyes, she is more than our teacher, and so she is one of our closely friends as well.
During the past two years, we had benefited a lot from her inspiring teaching. She not only taught us knowledge from some book but also how to be a good citizen. To be honest, whenever we felt confused and needed guidance, she were always there and ready to offer us your help.
We hope she can live the comfortable life after retirement.
答案:
Recently, we've talked about should be the news that our English teacher is retiring next month. the news, we felt our hearts were filled love and respect for her. In our eyes, she is more than our teacher, and she is one of our friends as well.

We hope she can live comfortable life after retirement.
1.we've前加what 考查主语从句的连接词。what引导主语从句,在从句中作介词about的宾语。
2.Heard→Hearing 考查非谓语动词。Hear与逻辑主语we构成主动关系,故用现在分词形式。
3.in→with 考查介词。be filled with “充满了……”。
4.去掉so 考查连词。and连接两个分句,so多余。
5.closely→close 考查形容词。用形容词修饰名词friends, close “亲密的”。
6.had→have 考查动词的时态。时间状语During the past two years通常与现在完成时连用。
7.book→books 考查名词。book为可数名词,前面有some修饰,故用复数形式。
8.were→was 考查主谓一致。主语是she,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。
9.your→her 考查代词。与主语she保持一致,故此处用her。
10.the→a 考查冠词。live a comfortable life“过着舒适的生活”。
