课时提能练(二十二).阅读理解(2019广东七校联考)These days，I walk down the steps leading toward the south end of the All England Club in Wimbledon，and still look for the Crows Nest，a small green observation tower with an outer ladder that I used to climb on for a wide view of the grounds，but it has since been knocked down.The Crows Nest was a particularly useful point，because it allowed a tennis writer to keep track of the action on as many as 10 outside courts at a time.At the end of the days，reporters from different nations would share notes on what they had observed all over the grounds.Twentyseven years later，the press room has touch screens that allow us to watch live videos from any court，and even go back to watch key moments in key matches long after they have finished.You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat.But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia.More than at any other tennis tournament，there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting，the history and the traditions.If they change the price of the fish tacos(鱼肉卷饼) at the United States Open，its not a story.If they change the price of the strawberries and cream，the signature treat at Wimbledon，its time to email your editor using capital letters.The new retractable(可缩进的) roof was put in place in 2009.Until then，you always had to have a rainyday story in your notebook because there were no guarantees any matches would be played.Now tennis is a sure thing on Centre Court，which has made tennis reporters a bit less creative.But at least it guarantees us daily access to the most atmospheric place in the sport.So much has changed，but Centre Court remains true to its original spirit：more a theater than a stadium.Catching that feeling is part of covering Wimbledon，too.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。在温布尔登的网球俱乐部，“我”曾经爬过的赛场楼梯被拆毁了；现在的记者室拥有触摸屏，可以让我们观看任何球场的直播视频。虽然发生了很多变化，但中心球场仍保持着初衷。捕捉这种感觉也是报道温布尔登网球锦标赛的一部分。1What did the author do on the Crows Nest in the past?AHe made friends with reporters.BHe reported on tennis matches.CHe appreciated the beautiful scenery.DHe exchanged experiences with tennis players.B推理判断题。通读全文可推知，作者应是一名网球赛报道记者。根据第二段可知，过去Crows Nest是记者们观察、记录赛况的地方，每天结束时，来自不同国家的记者们会分享他们在现场观察到的情况；结合第一段中的“and still look for the Crows Nest，a small green observation tower with an outer ladder that I used to climb on for a wide view of the grounds”可以判断，作者曾经登上Crows Nest，报道网球赛的情况，故B项正确。2What does the author think of the new way of covering Wimbledon?AIt lacks fun.BIt is expensive.CIt is not convenient.DIt is not quick enough.A推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句“You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat.But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia”可知，你可以不用离开座位就能报道温网，但这有点像把你所有的时间花在客房服务和在维基百科查找事实真相上；据此可以判断，作者认为如今的报道温网的方式缺乏趣味，故A项正确。3Why does the author mention strawberries and cream?ATo compare popular foods.BTo introduce the typical treat at Wimbledon.CTo describe peoples craze for traditional dishes.DTo show the traditions of Wimbledon are an attraction.D推理判断题。根据第四段“More than at any other tennis tournament，there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting，the history and the traditions”可知，与任何其他网球锦标赛相比，人们也关注讲述有关温网背景、历史和传统的故事，接着第五段提到美网上的鱼肉卷饼价格改变不会成为新闻而温网的特色食物草莓和奶油价格改变则需要重点向主编报告；据此可推知，提及温网的草莓和奶油旨在展示温网的传统是一个吸引点。故D项正确。4What difference does the new roof make?AAudiences have easier access to a tennis court.BTheres less fun in watching Wimbledon indoors.CReporters are struggling to find original material.DRainyday stories about Wimbledon have become history.D细节理解题。根据第六段第一、二句“The new retractable(可缩进的) roof was put in place in 2009.Until then，you always had to have a rainyday story in your notebook because there were no guarantees any matches would be played”可知，2009年装上了新型的可缩进屋顶，在那之前，因为不能确保所有的温网比赛都能举行，记者们得准备好一个应急报道；据此可知，新屋顶让温网的“应急报道”成为历史，故D项正确。.阅读七选五(2019甘肃省重点中学联考)Coming facetoface with your inadequacies(缺点) can be painful，to say the least._1_ It even makes you question yourself.Your kneejerk reaction may be to get defensive or even dismiss the critique entirely.But handling negative feedback with grace will not only make you look gracious，but it could ultimately help you grow as a person.Heres how to do it.1Be objective about the criticismBefore you jump to conclusions and begin to challenge the other persons opinion，take a step back and look at it objectively.Next time you get a bad review，dont immediately allow your emotions to get the better of you，but rather，take a moment to consider whether the criticism is at all accurate._2_2Avoid unnecessary conflictIf you decide that the point is valid，it may be hard to take.In your discomfort，you may feel the urge to criticize the other person angrily and defend yourself._3_3Be open to the idea of change_4_ And it may be because of a concept called“cognitive dissonance”that can prevent us from changing even when thats what we need most.4Ask questionsIf youre open to using the criticism as a springboard to improvement，you will likely need more information._5_ Your emotions will be running high，and you may not be particularly receptive to extra information.However，when you feel ready，it could be worth revisiting the subject with the person who criticized you.Even if you dont agree with their advice，thank them and promise to consider it.AMost of us are pretty stubborn.BThere is no doubt that change is necessary.CBut its best to avoid getting into an argument.DBeing sensitive to criticism leads you nowhere.EIt challenges the way you believe people see you.FGive yourself a chance to really take in the information and evaluate it.GThe initial moment you hear it may not be the best time to ask for more details.【语篇解读】听到别人对你的批评也许会很痛苦，但是如果优雅地处理这些问题，自己将变得更好。1E根据空后一句话可知，空处与下一句是递进关系，E项“这会挑战你认为别人看待你的方式”，所以E项符合语境。2F根据空前“dont immediately allow your emotions to get the better of you，but rather，take a moment to consider whether the criticism is at all accurate”可知，空处应讲给自己一个机会真正吸收这些信息并对其进行评估。故F项符合语境。3C根据该段小标题“Avoid unnecessary conflict”可知，C项“但是最好避免陷入争吵”符合语境。4A根据空后的“And it may be because of a concept calledcognitive dissonance that can prevent us from changing even when thats what we need most”及本段小标题可知，A项“我们大部分人都很倔强”符合语境。5G根据空后的“Your emotions will be running high，and you may not be particularly receptive to extra information”并结合上文可知，空处应讲最开始听到批评时不适合问更多的细节，故G项符合语境。.语法填空(2019南昌模拟)In August I spent two weeks working at the Sauraha day care center.I found working with the children very

difference是固定搭配，表示“有作用，有影响”。2timetables考查名词复数。此处表示“更改之前所有的时间安排”，timetable是可数名词并结合空前的“all”可知，空处应填其复数形式。3which考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是the culture of the festival，指物，且从句缺少宾语，故填which。4During考查介词。空后的stay是名词，意为“停留，逗留”，在stay等表示行为要持续一段时间的名词之前，常用during而不用in。during表示“在期间”。5to watch考查非谓语动词。“be形容词enoughto do sth.”是常用结构，表示“足够做某事”，其中不定式短语作状语。6a考查冠词。此处表示“其他各种各样的野生鸟类和动物”。a variety of“各种各样的”为固定搭配。7myself考查反身代词。that引导的从句中主语是I，taking good care of的宾语指的就是主语I，故此处要用I的反身代词myself。8was greeted考查动词的时态和语态。此处表示“当我第一次到达尼泊尔并受到员工欢迎的时候”，描述过去发生的事情要用一般过去时。I与greet之间是被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态。9assisting考查非谓语动词。be devoted to doing sth.是固定搭配，表示“致力于做某事”，其中to是介词，后接名词、代词或动名词作宾语。10hopefully考查副词。修饰形容词、副词、动词时应用副词。hopefully“怀有希望地”。.短文改错(2019广州检测)The summer job is a tradition among American university students.Long after the end of the
