只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 1 Unit 1 A land of diversity Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2017·西安高三检测)The 1920s was a decade of wealth，decadence (堕落) and social change.They were known as the Roaring Twenties，and the best place to experience this exciting time was New York City.But what was it really like? Prohibition In 1919，a new law in the US known as Prohibition made it illegal to buy and sell alcohol.But Prohibition didn't stop people drinking；it just drove the sale of strong alcoholic drink underground.Bootleggers(走私贩) waited off the coast of New York after dark and brought illegal alcohol into the city. Jazz Jazz was the music of New York in the 1920s.In fact，the decade is called Jazz Age.The best place to listen to this new form of music was the Cotton Club in Harlem.All the great jazz musicians played at the Cotton Club，including Louis Armstrong，Dizzy Gillespie and Duke Ellington.Also，in 1924 George Gershwin composed the jazzinfluenced Rhapsody in Blue.The piece has been called “a musical portrait of New York” and was used by Woody Allen in his film Manhattan. Art Deco Art Deco was the most popular style of the 1920s，with bright colors and geometric designs；it can be seen in the art，architecture and inside designs of the period.New York is full of Art Deco buildings，but the most famous ones are the Chrysler Building (built between 1928 and 1930) and the Empire State Building (built between 1930 and 1931)． The Great Depression On 29th October，1929，the Roaring Twenties came to a dramatic end.On that day(known as “Black Tuesday”)，the US stock market crashed，causing the Great Depression.The economic downturn lasted ten years and affected most of the Western world.Unemployment in America reached 25% and the country didn't recover until after World War Ⅱ. 【语篇解读】 本文介绍了 20 世纪 20 年代的美国纽约。 1．We know from the passage that in 1919 people alcohol in the US. A．began to buy and sell B．stopped producing 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 C．completely stopped trading D．secretly bought and sold D [细节理解题。根据 Prohibition 下的内容可知，禁酒令规定买卖酒违法，但是人们 依然要喝酒，于是人们秘密地买卖酒。] 2．The 1920s is called ． A．Country Music Age B．Jazz Age C．Folk Music Age D．Pop Age B [细节理解题。根据 Jazz 下的第二句“In fact，the decade is called Jazz Age.” 可知答案为 B。] 3．We can infer from the passage that the US in the year 1930. A．was in a bad economic state B．was in good economic condition C．developed at a rapid speed D．had many dramatic plays A [推理判断题。根据 The Great Depression 下的“On 29th October，1929”并结 合下文中的“The economic downturn lasted ten years”可推知，1930 年美国的经济状 况不好。] B (2016·全国丙卷)If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around.It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month.The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain. Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste，a wide variety of apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.Although it doesn't taste of anything special，it's still worth a try，as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else. There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it. At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 for with applethemed fun and games. Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园)．If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale，near Faversham in Kent. 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。全文介绍了在苹果节上的各种各样的苹果。虽说是 Apple Day，其实该节日持续接近一个月的时间。在这段时间里，我们可以品尝到很多稀有 品种的苹果。如果想尝试各种各样的苹果，就来参加 Apple Day 吧。 4．What can people do at the apple events? A．Attend experts' lectures. B．Visit fruitloving families. C．Plant fruit trees in an orchard. D．Taste many kinds of apples. D [细节理解题。根据第二段中的 Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see， and often taste，a wide variety of apples.可知，参加苹果节可以看到并经常尝到各种 各样的苹果。A 项说“参加专家的讲座”，这与倒数第二段中 At the events，you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions 提到的与专 家交流不符，曲解了文意；B 项说“参观喜欢水果的家庭”，文中并未提及；C 项说“在果 园中种植果树”，文章虽然提到可以参观、品尝等体验，但没有提种植果树。] 5．What can we learn about Decio? A．It is a new variety. B．It has a strange look. C．It is rarely seen now. D．It has a special taste. C [推理判断题。根据第二段中的．..it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence，such as Decio...is more of a curiosity than anything else.可知，见到它很开阔眼界并且可以与稀奇的 Cat's Head 这一品种类比，由 此判断 Decio 非常稀少。A 项说“它是新品种”，这与 which was grown by the Romans 不 符；B 项说“它外形奇特”，这指的是 Cat's Head 的特点，犯了张冠李戴的错误；D 项说“它 有特殊的味道”，这与 it doesn't taste of anything special 不符。] 6．What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．A practical idea. B．A vain hope. C．A brilliant plan. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 D．A selfish desire. B [词义理解题。根据本段中的 One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette，but you'll need a warm，sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it...可知，尽管 Orleans Reinette 是很好的品种，但是对各项条件的要求很高，因 此大多数喜欢它的人种植它的希望会落空。A 项说“一个切合实际的想法”，这与它对生存 条件要求高矛盾；C 项说“一个很好的计划”，根据画线前的描述可知，这是一种希望或梦 想；D 项说“一个自私的愿望”，这里说的是愿望的可否实现，不是自私与否。] 7．What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A．To show how to grow apples. B．To introduce an apple festival. C．To help people select apples. D．To promote apple research. B [作者意图题。根据文章第一段中的 If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around.和第二段中的 Visiting an apple event...以及后文介绍节日上的各类苹果可知，作者在介绍苹果节。A 项“展示 如何种植苹果”，C 项“帮助人们选苹果”，D 项“促进苹果的研究”，均与文章内容不符。] Ⅱ.完形填空 (2017·河南省六市高三联考)When I was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years back，I reacted like most who receive a cancer diagnosis and the first thing that came to mind was a “death sentence”． 1 ，instead of complaining，I decided to look for the 2 side of it.
