Unit 2Cloning一、阅读理解AEnjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater. These days, musicians are performing in private homes, at haircutting shops, at airports. even on ferry boats.Musicians like house concerts. At music clubs, they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol. People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O Hair Salon, Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials. Then, they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space. The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon, near the hairdryers and makeup tables.“This is our first show at a hair salon，” Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last weeks performance. Frank said she and band members, Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time “interacting” with the audience. Concerts in peoples homes, or small businesses such as O Hairs, are being more popular, musicians say. “There is a more relaxed atmosphere，” said Domenic Cicala, a musician who opened up his O Hair Salon to concerts. “People really get to know the artists.” At house concerts, people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers. Often, the hosts or guests will provide food and drink. “People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend，” said Matt Hart, with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers, a folkrock group based in Seattle. At many such concerts, the musicians do not need microphones. Yet, every word of their songs can be heard.【文章大意】本文主要介绍了现代音乐会在举办场地的选择上更加多样化。私人居所、理发店、机场等都成为音乐家表演的场所，并且备受青睐。1Why do musicians like house concerts?ABecause private homes are easier to get to.BBecause people pay more attention to their music.CBecause they can do other things while performing.DBecause they dont have to bring their microphones.答案与解析：B考查推理判断。根据第二段最后一句“People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.”可知，音乐家喜欢家庭音乐会是因为听众会更专注于倾听音乐。故选B。2What impressed Sarah Frank most at her last weeks performance?AThe small performance space.BHer first show at a hair salon.CTheir interaction with the audience.DThe more relaxed atmosphere.答案与解析：C考查细节理解。根据第四段最后一句“Frank said she and band members, Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time interacting with the audience.”可知，上周的表演给Sarah Frank留下最深刻印象的是与听众的互动，故选C。3How many music groups are mentioned in the text?AOne.

Health experts say you should aim for at least 150 minutes of exercise a week, plus weight training at least twice a week. If you work too late to get to a gym, keep a set of weights at home.

Maybe you only run a quarter of a mile during your first week.”可推知，你可以循序渐进，逐步挑战更大强度的锻炼，所以选G项。3答案与解析：A根据空后的“Your workout should be just as much a habit as brushing your teeth or eating breakfast.”可推知，要养成锻炼的习惯，并自觉去做，所以选A项。4答案与解析：E根据空前的“Keep it real. Youre not going to shake off 30 pounds in a week.”可知，锻炼的目标要现实可行，所以选E项。5答案与解析：C根据空后的“Therefore, even a pound of weight loss or a pound of muscle gain is the reason to reward yourself.”可推知，锻炼的效果并不会立竿见影，只要有效就值得庆贺，所以选C项。三、短文改错It is known that some students cheat in exams.It has three reason.First of all，there are so many exams. Beside，the exams given are difficulty in some way. Secondly, some students have to cheat in exams because of they are too lazy.The last reason is to please our parents and teachers.For some students，low marks brought them great pressure and make them depressing.In my opinion，cheating in exams are wrong.We should take active attitude to our studies，and try to get a mark what is true as well as good.【答案】It is known that some students cheat in exams.It has three .First of all，there are so many exams.，the exams given are in some way. Secondly, some students have to cheat in exams because they are too lazy.The last reason is to please parents and teachers.For some students，low marks them great pressure and make them .In my opinion，cheating in exams wrong.We should take active attitude to our studies，and try to get a mark is true as well as good.第一处：reasonreasons。考查名词复数。根据three可知，此处应用名词的复数形式。第二处：Beside改为Besides。考查副词。besides作副词讲时是“除此之外”的意思，而beside为介词，意为“在旁边”。根据the exams前的逗号可知，此处应用副词，故将Beside改为Besides。第三处：difficultydifficult。考查形容词。此处应用形容词difficult作are的表语，表示“困难的”。第四处：删除of。考查连词。“they are too lazy”为一个完整的句子，其前应该是一个连词，故删除介词of。第五处：ourtheir。考查代词。根据上文中的“they are too lazy”可知，此处应该用their。第六处：broughtbring。考查动词时态。全文时态均为一般现在时，本句是对客观事实的陈述且根据and后的make可知，应用一般现在时。第七处：depressingdepressed。考查形容词。此处depressed是分词形容词，作宾语补足语，宾语them指人。第八处：areis。考查主谓一致。动名词短语作主语，谓语动词应用单数，故用is。第九处：active前加an。考查冠词。attitude是可数名词，且第一次在语境中出现，故用不定冠词修饰，且在读音以元音音素开头的形容词active之前，故用an。第十处：whatthat/which。考查定语从句。根据语境可知，此处应用that/which引导定语从句，在从句中作主语，修饰先行词a mark。四、语法填空(2018沈阳市下学期高三第三次模拟考试试题)Visitors to Britain may find the most marvelous place _1_ (enjoy) the local culture is in a traditional pub. But newers may get _2_ trouble in these friendly pubs. Strangers may start with the difficulty of getting _3_ drink. Most pubs have no _4_ (wait) you have to go to the bar to buy drinks. This may sound _5_ (convenience), but English people are used to doing so.Pub culture is formed to help people get along with each other. Standing at the bar for _6_ (serve) allows you to chat with others waiting for drinks. The bar counter is _7_ (possible) the only place in Britain.Though a friendly conversation with strangers is considered to be entirely proper and really quite normal, however, if you do not follow the local rules, you may fail to feel the local culture. For example, if you _8_ (be) in a big group, it is best for one or two people to go to buy the drinks. Nothing makes the regular customers and bar staff _9_ (angry) than a group of strangers _10_ (stand) in front of the bar while they chat and wonder what to order.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，讲的是英国的酒馆文化。1答案与解析：to enjoy考查非谓语动词。被修饰的名词前有最高级修饰时，非谓语动词充当后置定语常用不定式，故用to enjoy。2答案与解析：into考查介词。固定搭配get into trouble表示“陷入麻烦”，与后面一句中的difficulty相照应，所以填into。3答案与解析：a考查冠词。drink这里表示“一杯酒，一份酒精饮料”，是可数名词，前面加不定冠词，表示泛指，故用a。4答案与解析：waiters考查名词。根据破折号后的“you have to go to the bar to buy drinks”可知，这样的酒馆是没有服务员(waiters)的，waiter是可数名词，no常修饰可数名词的复数形式，故用waiters。5答案与解析：inconvenient考查形容词。sound在这里表示“听起来”，后面加形容词充当表语，说明主语的性质、特点，根据上面一句可知，没有服务员，需要自己去买饮料，这给人的感觉是不方便的(inconvenient)。6答案与解析：service考查名词。介词后面加名词，service表示“服务”，符合语境。7答案与解析：possibly考查副词。此处应用副词possibly作状语。8答案与解析：are考查时态。if引导条件状语从句常用一般现在时代替一般将来时，主语是you，故用are。9答案与解析：angrier考查比较级。根据空后的than并结合语境可知，这里表示比较，故用angry的比较级形式angrier。10答案与解析：standing考查非谓语动词。此处现在分词与被修饰词strangers构成主谓关系，因此用非谓语动词standing。
