能力提升题组训练(A)
Ⅰ.阅读
Did you know that Albert Einstein could not speak until he was four years old,and could not read until he was seven?His parents and teachers worried about his mental ability.
Beethoven’s music teacher said about him,“As a composer(作曲家) he is hopeless.”What if this young boy had believed it?
When Thomas Edison was a young boy,his teachers said he was so stupid that he could never learn anything.He once said,“I remember I used to never be able to get along at school.I was always at the foot of my class...My father thought I was stupid,and I almost decided that I was a stupid person.”What if young Thomas had believed what they said about him?
When the sculptor(雕刻家) Auguste Rodin was young,he had difficulty learning to read and write.Today,we may say he had a learning disability.His father said of him,“I have an idiot(白痴) for a son.”His uncle agreed.“He’s uneducable,”he said.What if Rodin had doubted his ability?
Walt Disney was once fired by a newspaper editor because he was
thought to have no “good ideas”.Enrico Caruso was told by one music teacher,“You can’t sing.You have no voice at all.”And an editor told Louisa May Alcott that she was unable to write anything that would have popular appeal.
What if these people had listened and become discouraged?Where would our world be without the music of Beethoven,the art of Rodin or the ideas of Albert Einstein and Walt Disney?As Oscar Levant once said,“It’s not what you are but what you don’t become that hurts.”
You have great potential.When you believe in all you can be,rather than all you cannot become,you will find your place on earth.

B.Levant thought Louisa May Alcott couldn’t write any popular works.
C.Only Auguste Rodin’s uncle regarded him as a boy of learning ability.
D.Both Enrico Caruso and Beethoven achieved their dreams in music.
3.What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence “He’s uneducable”?

A.Working Hard for Success B.Having Dreams
C.Believing in Yourself D.Self-challenging
语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章列举了爱因斯坦、贝多芬、爱迪生等七个名人成功的故事,他们都曾得到别人较低的评价,但最终成功地实现了自己的梦想;“相信自己”是他们成功的关键。
答案及剖析:
1.B 细节理解题。文章第一段列举了爱因斯坦的故事,第二段讲述了贝多芬的故事,第三段提到了爱迪生的故事,第四段讲述了奥古斯特·罗丹的故事,第五段提及了沃特·迪士尼、恩里科·卡鲁索、路易莎·梅·阿尔科特的故事,共列举了七个著名人物,故B项正确。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句、第五段的第二句及第六段的第二句可推知,贝多芬和恩里科·卡鲁索都实现了他们的音乐梦想,故D项正确。
3.A 句意理解题。根据第四段他的父亲和他的叔叔对他的评价“I have an idiot(白痴) for a son.”His uncle agreed.可知,他们都认为他是白痴。据此可以推断,该句意为“他是教不会的”,故A项正确。
4.C 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文前五段列举了七个名人,他们的共同点是都曾得到别人较低的评价,后来却成功地实现了自己的梦想;本文的最后一句“When you believe in all you can be,rather than all you cannot become,you will find your place on earth.”为本文的主题句,据此可以判断,C项“相信自己”最适合作为本文标题。
Ⅱ.七选五
What Is Fear?
Fear is a basic feeling arising when we feel threatened,and can have physical symptoms such as sweaty hands and an increased heart rate.1. On the upside...
Fear means growth.
Fear tells us we are moving towards the edge of our comfort zone.We are doing something unfamiliar and learning new skills.This means we are growing,and growth means that once we go beyond the comfort zone a bit, we will be stronger,better and brighter than before!2.
Things are never as bad as they seem.
In most cases,the thing we fear is never as bad as we think it is.When we are trying to make a decision to do something new,we lack the perspective to see further than the familiar range.3. No.If you look back on some of the scary things you’ve had to do in the past,you would now say,“What was so scary about this?!”
We are always stronger than we think!
Fear can teach us so much about our personal powers.There is no other feeling like the victory you feel that makes you realize you won.4. Who cares?You made the leap!This will build your confidence!Think of your yoga practice.We CAN stand on our hands,even though we sometimes doubt it.And it will make us realize that we are so strong!
Fear is part of life,and doesn’t need to be eliminated.
5. We can welcome it;we can cope with it and proceed in spite of it.The best decisions in life are rarely the easiest ones.Or rather,they may seem easy,but often come with fear.To quit your job is not easy,but if you know it’s the right thing to do,you know what you need to do.Following your heart will not come without fear,but it will come with big rewards.
A.Face the feeling of fear bravely.
B.And everything unfamiliar is scary?
C.Catch every opportunity to be successful.
D.We don’t need to remove fear from our lives.
E.So when you feel fear approaching,say thank you!
F.You succeeded,even though not every try is perfect.
G.But it can be a useful feeling when it comes to keeping us safe.

I worried I was saying no to my kid too much.I don’t think there’s anything 1 with “no”.In fact,I love it.But it started to feel like my kid viewed me as one thing standing in between her and fun.So I came up with a 2 experiment:one week of saying yes to anything my kid asked for(within reason). 3 ,I made some rules.
I started my Week of Yes,but quickly realized that my 4 of

Then it was mid-week,and we settled into a cycle of television and ice cream.This is, 12 ,all my daughter wants in life,and I’m shocked at how often I’ve said no before.Before bedtime,she asked to go to the beach. 13 the next day we had fun searching for seashells and racing with the waves.

语篇解读:这是一篇亲情故事,在故事里,作者原本是一位对女儿非常严厉的妈妈,对她的各种要求都是严词拒绝。但有一天,她尝试改变,实行了一个周计划——保证一周中不说no,只说yes。最终的结果却是惊人的。
答案及剖析:
1.B 根据下文知,刚开始我觉得“拒绝”是正常现象,绝对没有任何问题。
2.B 根据下文可推知我女儿是不知道真相的,所以是我偷偷地搞了一个实验,选secret。
3.A 虽然我会满足孩子提出的任何要求,但我还是制定了一些规则,此处Of course表示“理所当然地”。
4.D 但是我说no的习惯(habit)其实早就深深扎根于我的脑海中。
5.A 根据语境知,我去接我6岁的女儿,故选pick up表示“接某人”。

11.D 根据上文知,既然已经约定,所以我女儿看完一集后,也是没有怨言地就把电视关了。complaint表示“抱怨、怨言”。
12.A 根据语境和常识知,看电视和吃冰激凌在这一周中进行,很明显,这些就是我女儿所想要的。所以选apparently表示“明显地”。

Ⅰ.阅读
A
“How are things back at the office?” one of the gentlemen in my bicycle tour group asked me as we were nearing the end of another lengthy ride through Croatia’s scenic countryside.
“I assume they are going fine,” I said.“I haven’t had any contact and I don’t plan to.”
“Your phone isn’t on?” he asked,incredulously.“You haven’t checked your email?”
“My phone is off and no,I’m not planning on checking email,” I said.
My wife Heidi and I took our children,Daniel and Rachel,on a two-week trip to Croatia,one of the most beautiful countries in the world.We made the choice to spend some of our money on this wonderful experience so we could spend time bonding with each other and the kids.
Why would I destroy the environment we had traveled thousands of miles to create by bringing my work environment into it?That would be counterproductive to everything I wanted out of this trip.If I had worked during this experience,I would have taken time away from my family and sent them the message that work takes priority over them.
In addition to sharing this incredible experience,I wanted to take us all out of the activity-driven world we live in.If I had had my cell phone on and been constantly searching out a wireless connection to keep up with the office,I would just have brought that hyper-connected environment into the peaceful,meaningful world I was trying to create.
In addition to creating lifelong memories with my family,another wonderful thing happened as a result of this bike trip.As we were returning home,I was flooded with new ideas.I came up with concepts for nine blog posts and several ideas that I wanted to incorporate into my business.
Taking time off restored and rejuvenated me and allowed my creative spirit to really come to the surface.How can you accomplish that goal if you simply move the source of that stress to a different location?
1.From the conversation at the beginning of the text,we can infer that .
A.the author had no access to the Internet during the tour
B.the gentleman was quite concerned about the author’s work
C.the author’s phone was off because he didn’t want to be disturbed
D.the speakers both experienced an unpleasant bicycle tour in Croatia
2.One of the purposes of the author’s Croatia’s bicycle tour is .
A.to spend some time creating closer ties with his family
B.to experience a primitive life without phone calls
C.to tell his family that his work is more important for him
D.to escape from his boring work environment at the office
3.What would the author probably do after returning home from their bike trip?
A.He would be busy with all his office work again.
B.He would be caught in a big flood of new business.
C.He would have many new fresh ideas for his business.
D.He would make up for his missing blog posts during the journey.
4.The underlined word “rejuvenated” in the last paragraph probably means “ ”.
A.got one exhausted B.drove one mad
C.caused one to lose temper D.made one more energetic
语篇解读:作者去克罗地亚旅游时完全放下了手头的工作,尽情地游玩并且他还产生了很多新的灵感。
答案及剖析:
1.C 推理判断题。在文章开头的对话中,作者说他把手机关机,并且没有查看电子邮件。再结合下文内容可知,他这样做是为了更好地和家人一起旅游,由此可以推断出,他不开手机是因为不想被打扰。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句 “We made the choice to spend some of our money on this wonderful experience so we could spend time bonding with each other and the kids.” 可知,作者是想借此机会增进与家人之间的感情。
3.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的 “As we were returning home,I was flooded with new ideas.I came up with concepts for nine blog posts and several ideas that I wanted to incorporate into my business.” 可知,作者在旅游结束回家以后有了很多新的想法,而且他还想把这些想法运用到工作中去。
4.D 词义猜测题。本句中的 “restored” 与画线词 “rejuvenated” 理应意义接近,结合下文中的 “allowed my creative spirit to really come to the surface” 可知,休息之后,作者有了更多具有创造性的想法。由此可推知,休息使人精力更加充沛。

(2019高三双语报28期)
America’s trucking industry employs roughly 3.5 million people,carries 10.6 billion tons of goods back and forth across the country per year,and brings in $738.9 billion in taxes annually.It is,in some way,a logistical wonder.
Though America’s trucking industry may one day be replaced by new trains,or giant trucks piloted by AI systems,for now we need to deal with the system we have,instead of daydreaming about a new one.Truck driving used to be a desirable profession for Americans,but almost no one wants to be a truck driver anymore.The industry is already short of 50,000 tractor-trailer drivers,and that number could expand to 174,000 by 2026.
The solution is simple:raising drivers’ wages.Truck driving is generally considered a high-quality blue-collar job.Average pay for truckers is only around $ 42,000.That’s more than $ 10,000 below the average household income in America.
Bear in mind too,that the economically essential function served by the trucking industry creates a very tough quality of life for truckers themselves.Being crashed behind the wheels of a truck for 10 hours at a time causes illness.Being far away from home for days or weeks at times causes all sorts of personal issues.Therefore,drivers really deserve to be paid more.
The good news is that last week’s jobs report did show an increase in wages.In trucking specially,compensation finally jumped 10 to 12 percent over the last year.It’s not enough,but it’s a step in the right direction.
And to encourage the American trucking industry,there are regulations too.A federal rule from 2004 limits truckers to driving 11 hours in any 14-hour period.
Of course,this rule was put in place to make truck driving a more humane,and less demanding industry.But it also lowered the amount of driving any trucker could do,increasing the number of drivers needed to cover the same number of routes.And it couldn’t avoid the long hours on the road,lonely nights in hotels,and etc.The effective way to fix the
problem is obvious:If your industry can’t find enough workers,you need to pay them more.
5.What do the figures in Paragraph 1 show?
A.The convenience of trucking in America.
B.The quick development of America’s trucking industry.
C.The big burden on America’s trucking industry.
D.The significance of trucking industry for America.
6.Which of the following are the causes of fewer truck drivers according to the passage?
①suffering from health issues caused by driving ②having a small salary ③having a low-quality blue-collar job
④working outside for long ⑤lacking respect from others
A.①②③ B.②③④ C.①②④ D.②④⑤
7.What can we know about the federal rule from 2004?
A.It aimed at promoting the efficiency of truck drivers. B.It effectively relieved the truck drivers’ burdens.
C.It made a little difference to the trucking industry. D.It tended to get resisted by numerous truck drivers.
8.What’s the passage mainly about?
A.The decline of America’s trucking industry. B.The ways to fix America’s trucking industry.
C.The problems troubling America’s truck drivers. D.The regulations
governing America’s truck drivers.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文,主要介绍的是促进美国货车运输业发展的途径。
答案及剖析:
5.D 推理判断题。根据第一段的数据分析可知,这些数据显示了美国货车运输业在经济发展中的作用。

答案及剖析:
1.who 考查定语从句。在冬至这一天,许多中国人吃饺子是一种常见的民俗,尤其是那些住在北方的人。设空处引导定语从句,先行词为those,指人,故填who。先行词those指人时,关系词不能用that。
2.if/when 考查状语从句。在这个时期,适量食用一些如花生、核桃和栗子等坚果的话对身体有好处。该句已有主干结构“some nuts such as peanuts,walnuts,and chestnuts are good for one’s body”,故此处填连词。根据语境可知,此处表示条件或时间,空后省略了主语some nuts和系动词are,故应填if或when。
3.are 考查时态和主谓一致。江苏省苏州市的人们习惯在冬至日吃馄饨。此处在陈述现在的事实,故用一般现在时。设空处前的in Suzhou,Jiangsu Province为People的后置定语,该句主语为People,是集合名词,表复数概念,故填are。
4.was fed 考查时态和主谓一致。根据一个古老的故事,在2500年前的冬至盛宴中,吴王厌倦了各种昂贵的食物,想尝试各种不同的东西。be fed up with为固定短语,意为“对……感到厌烦”。再根据该句中出现过去的时间状语during the midwinter feast 2,500 years ago可知,此处应用一般过去时。主语为the King of Wu,故填was fed。
5.various 考查形容词。句意见上一题剖析。设空处修饰后面的things,应用形容词形式,故填various,意为“各种各样的”。
6.officially 考查副词。后来,苏州人吃馄饨来正式地庆祝这个节日。设空处修饰前文的动词短语celebrate the
festival,应用副词形式,故填officially。
7.produced 考查非谓语动词。在上海等地,人们吃汤圆,这是一种用糯米粉制成的球。句中已有谓语动词,故设空处应用非谓语动词作a kind of small dumpling ball的后置定语。a kind of small dumpling ball与produce之间为被动关系,故应用过去分词produced。
8.relatives 考查名词复数。他们给冬至汤起了一个奇怪的名字,把它称作“头脑”,通常与他们的亲戚们一起分享。relative意为“亲戚,亲属”,是可数名词。设空处指他们的亲戚们,不止一个,应用复数形式,故填relatives。
9.for 考查介词。台湾人有为祖先提供九层糕的习俗。provide sth.for sb.为固定搭配,表示“为某人提供某物”,故填for。
10.holding 考查非谓语动词。举行祭祀仪式后,总会有盛大的宴会。After在此处用作介词,后面应接动名词短语作宾语,且hold的逻辑主语是人,二者之间为主动关系,故填holding。
Ⅲ.应用文写作

One possible version:
Dear John,
Knowing that you’ll travel around China during your vacation,I feel very happy and here are the details about how to buy train tickets.
Train tickets can be bought online or from the ticket office of the train station,and your passport is required either way.If you book it online,you can save the trouble of going to the station and waiting in a queue.But you still need to get your ticket at the station since the ticket vending machine doesn’t support passports.So,the best way is to go to the train station ahead of time and purchase your ticket right on the spot.
Yours,
Li Hua
