Unit 1 Living well.阅读理解(2018广东惠州高三一调,B)When I was a boy we used to live across the road from a big hill with huge oak trees growing on it. When winter arrived, thick, heavy snow would fall, and my two brothers would grab their sleds and head for the hill for a day of fun. I remember watching them with envy because I was still too small to go sledding. Finally, one winter I was considered old enough and joined my brothers as they carried their sleds to the hill and prepared to ride down it.During the first few trips I rode with one of my brothers and had the time of my life. It was so exhilarating when the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled. Near the end of the day, I was overjoyed when my brothers decided to let me try riding the sled all by myself. I climbed on it full of excitement and lay on my stomach. Then with one big push my brothers sent me down to the snowy hillside. I was doing pretty well until I hit an old stump hidden in the snow and went off course, straight towards one of those big oak trees. My heart pounded in my chest and I could hear myself screaming. At the last possible second I rolled off and the sled crashed into the tree. I could hear my brothers running down the hill yelling, “You have to steer!You have to steer!”Sadly, that wasnt the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle knocked me off course in my life. Many times problems, troubles and my own failures have sent me crashing into the trees of anger, frustration, and despair. I am still learning that life isnt always safe sledding. I am still learning that it is up to me to steer myself back to love, back to kindness, back to goodness, and back to God.Life is a trip, but no one ever said it was a smooth ride. Steer well then. Steer straight. Steer your soul towards the light and the love we are all meant for.1.What do we know about the author when he was very young?A.He lived on a big hill with huge oak trees on it.B.He was frightened to go sledding with his brothers.C.He longed to go sledding with his brothers.D.He carried his brothers sleds as they went sledding.2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “exhilarating” in Paragraph 2?A.Delightful.B.Terrifying.C.Ordinary.D.Violent.3.Why did the author fall off his sled?A.Because his sled crashed into an oak tree.B.Because he lost control of his sled.C.Because his brothers pushed it so hard.D.Because the hillside was snowy.4.What does the author mean to tell us?A.Losing control of a sled can be dangerous.B.Courage and determination can change ones life.C.Life can be controlled by ourselves.D.Life is a mystery full of coincidences.七选五(2018安徽高中十校联盟高三摸底) Johannes Gutenberg was chosen to be the most important figure of the past millennium(一千年)by the media. You may not be familiar with him.1Gutenberg is praised for having invented the printing press and therefore preparing the way for printing books.He was born into a wealthy family in the city of Mainz, Germany. In 1428, he moved to Strasbourg and lived there for almost 20 years.2Gutenberg used his skills in metalwork for the mass production of books.3That means that each copy of the Catholic Bible and all of its 73 books were painstakingly handwritten by penmen. Gutenberg fashioned a font of over 300 characters, far larger than the fonts of today. To make this possible, he invented the variable-width mold(模具)and perfected the mixture of materials used by printers.4Between 1450 and 1455, while preparing to publish a large Latin Bible, Gutenberg is thought to have printed a number of smaller books, a calendar and so on.The invention of the printing press changed the way information was delivered.5Even today in the puter age, we rely heavily on the printed word or text for information, and for the pleasure of reading literature.A.Gutenberg made the world a much richer place.B.But he has certainly influenced your life in some ways.C.Gutenbergs idea was the greatest.D.In 1450,Gutenberg was back in Mainz, working on printing press.E.This invention was also responsible for educating the masses worldwide.F.Before the spread of Gutenbergs idea, literature was primarily handwritten.G.It was in Strasbourg that he probably made his first experiment with moveable type.完形填空When I opened the box at my 12th birthday party, I couldnt believe my eyes.
