Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note grammar课时作业.阅读理解A2019福州八县市一中联考If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly highclass Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least signs of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration cards to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. Then they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes (漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty_advantages”. But the strange thing is that all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fares after they have attended to their business and that not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society, has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要通过一些例子，介绍了芬兰人的诚实，并且诚实让他们成为真正的“绅士”。【长难句分析】You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare.分析：该句为主从复合句。句中that you have some business to attend to为that引导的宾语从句，作say的宾语。译文：你可以乘一辆出租车去任何地方，告诉司机让你在任何地方下车，告诉(司机)你有一些事情要处理，然后不付车费就可以离开。1The underlined words in Paragraph 5 mean “_”Ato be ready to help othersBto make good use of ones friendsCto be a little ahead of othersDto gain something at others expense答案与解析：考查词义猜测。根据第五段第一句“With so many loopholes (漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take petty_advantages”可知，在日常生活中芬兰出现了很多的“漏洞”。结合上文内容可知，在芬兰，如果你告诉出租车司机你有一些事要处理，你不付车费就可以离开；在宾馆用旧的登记卡就可以享受免费大餐；工人只要告诉老板自己工作的时长就可以得到相应的工资，这些就是“漏洞”。由此可知，芬兰确定是那些爱贪小便宜的人的天堂，画线词意为“小便宜”，故D项正确。2Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AWhile taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off without first paying your fare.BIn a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if youre living in the hotel.CThe bosses in Finland pay the employees according to the registration of their working hours.DThe workers are always honest with their working hours.答案与解析：C考查细节理解。根据第四段的内容，尤其是第三句“Then they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly”可知，老板是根据工人自己所说的工作时长给工人支付工资的，而不是根据登记的时长，所以C项与文意不符，故选C项。3We can infer from the passage that _.Athe Finnish society is of very high moral (道德的) levelBthere are many loopholes in everyday life in FinlandCin Finland, most taxi drivers will not charge you anythingDeveryone in Finland is like a gentleman, for they have faith in themselves答案与解析：A考查理解判断。根据最后一段最后一句，并结合全文内容可知，在芬兰，乘出租车的乘客可以先下车离开，等处理完事情后再付车费；没有在宾馆登记入住的人并不会去宾馆享受免费大餐；工人可以按照自己报的工作时长向老板索要工资。因为芬兰人总是诚实地做每一件事，生活在这样一个社会，每个人都变成了一个真正的“绅士”。据此可以判断，芬兰社会有着很高的道德水平，故A项正确。4Which of the following is the best title of the passage?ALife in FinlandBA Society with “Foolish” PeopleCWhat a LifeDHonest accounts of the Finns答案与解析：B考查主旨大意。通读全文可知，文章由人们认为芬兰人很“愚蠢”引出本文话题，接着举例介绍了芬兰人“愚蠢”的情况，最后点明主旨，即芬兰是一个道德水平很高的国家，人们的诚实让他们都成为绅士。据此可以判断，B项最适合作文章标题。B2019广东七校高三第一次联考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.【解题导语】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。【长难句分析】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.分析：该句为主从复合句。句中“that allow us to watch live videos. long after they have finished”为that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词“touch screens”，that指代先行词并在从句中作主语。译文：27年后的今天，记者室拥有触摸屏，可以让我们观看任何球场的直播视频，甚至在关键比赛结束很久之后，还可以回看关键时刻。5What 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.答案与解析：B考查推理判断。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。6What 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.答案与解析：A考查推理判断。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。7Why 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.答案与解析：D考查推理判断。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。8What 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.答案与解析：D考查细节理解。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。.七选五2019山东省高考预测There are two types of party attendees (参加者): Those who count the minutes until they can go home, and those who stay until the early hours of morning.Regardless of which category you fall into, though, you must have secretly wondered about the best time to head out the door. _1_ Not only do you want to avoid being impolite, but you also dont want to overstay your welcome.
