重慶市萬州分水中學2024屆高三英語一輪復習小專題測試4
一、單項填空
—How did you do in your essay?
—I got ____ okay grade, but Mr. Jones gave Sarah top marks. She's ____ teacher's pet, you know.
A． 不填; a B． an; 不填 C． 不填; the D． an; a
【答案】D
【解析】 考查冠詞。第一空 okay 前面應用 an 表示“一個相當好的分數”；第二空表示“她是老師的寵兒”，表示泛指，故用a。
Games, often seen as ____ activity for children, are still important in ____ development of teenagers.
A．the; the B．an; the C．an; 不填 D．the; 不填
【答案】B
【解析】
考查冠詞用法。語意：游戲經常被看做是孩子的活動，在青少年的發展過程中仍然很重要。activity 是可數名詞，此處表示泛指，因此用不定冠詞 an；development 后有限定語，所以用定冠詞表特指。
—Hi, Wang Xin! What attracts you so much in today's Jinling Evening News?
—I'm quite impressed by ____ latest news that ____ senior citizens can enjoy free fares.
A．a; the B．不填; the C．the;不填 D．the; the
【答案】C
【解析】
考查冠詞。latest 是形容詞最高級，且此處表特指，前面應使用定冠詞；senior citizens 是復數名詞表示泛指，前面不用冠詞，因此選擇C項。This area experienced ______ heaviest rainfall in ______ month of May.
A．不填; a B．a; the C．the; the D．the; a
【答案】C
【解析】
考查冠詞。最高級形容詞前用定冠詞，故第一空用 the；后一空處有 of 結構限定，故也用定冠詞。Jasper is a great painter.
He is ____ Picasso.
A． the same great as B． as great painter as
C. as great a painter as D． such great a painter as
【答案】C
【解析】
語意表示 Jasper 是和 Picasso 一樣偉大的畫家，在 as / so... as 結構中，冠詞位于形容詞之后，在 such… as 結構中，冠詞緊跟 such，故選C項。The 16th Asian Games were held in ____ city of Guangzhou, ____ international big city in the south of China in November.
A． a; an B． the; an C． a; the D． the; the
【答案】B
【解析】
考查冠詞。第一空特指廣州這座城市，故用定冠詞 the；第二空泛指“一個國際化大都市”，用不定冠詞 an。故選B項。
It’s ____ wise choice to use a four wheel drive car on ____ snowy day.
A．a; a B．the; / C．/; a D．the; the
【答案】A
【解析】
考查冠詞用法。第一空表示泛指，指一個明智的選擇，所以用不定冠詞a；第二空處表示一個雪天，表示泛指，所以其前也用不定冠詞a。
When I went to watch the 16th Asian Games last month, I was greatly touched by the fact that ____ people from all walks of life are working hard for ____ new Guangzhou.
A．the; a B．／; a C．the; the D．／; the
【答案】B
【解析】
考查冠詞。第一空 people 為泛指，前面用零冠詞，第二空表示“一個全新的廣州”，故用不定冠詞，綜合選B項。
If we sit near____ front of the bus, we’ll have ____ better view.
A．不填；the B．the；不填 C．a; the D．the; a
【答案】D
【解析】
考查冠詞的用法。第一空用定冠詞，the front of the bus 表示“公交車（內部）的前面”；第二空用不定冠詞表示泛指，have a better view 表示“看得更清楚”。
It is ____ great honor for China to develop ____ fastest computer in today’s world.
A．an; an B．an; the C．a; the D．a; a
【答案】C
【解析】
考查冠詞。句意：中國研發出如今世界上最快的電腦，這真是一件令人榮幸的事。第一空為抽象名詞具體化，要加不定冠詞，又因為 great 是以輔音音素開頭的單詞，應該用a；第二空形容詞最高級前要用定冠詞。
二、 完型填空
Today’s English learner has a wide choice of dictionaries. There are
36
with American English, with British English, with idioms or slang, and
37
with pictures. One of the most
38
dictionaries I have seen among many students is the
39
electronic dictionary. All you have to do is to
40
a word in your language and you can see it and
41
it in English. That’s great, right? Well, I think it’s great, too... but only sometimes.
Bilingual electronic dictionaries are fast and
42
. They can be great
43
you are traveling and need information quickly.
44
I am against electronic dictionaries and even bilingual
45
dictionaries in many cases. Let me explain.
When you reach an intermediate（中等程度的）level of English, you know
46
of the language to ask the meaning of certain things while using English. Translating between Languages in your head
47
time. You should be translating as little as possible and
48
in English as much as possible. I strongly recommend that intermediate and advanced students should
49
an English-English dictionary that is made
50
for your understanding. For example, Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press has good dictionaries for students and
51
publishing houses do, too.
I also feel that paper dictionaries are better for studying than electronic dictionaries. True, they take longer to use. But, for some reason, the information you
52
seems to stay in your read longer. It may be
53
you are forced to spell the word in your head and therefore "see it" more clearly in your
54
.
So what do you do if you have checked an English-English dictionary and still don’t understand something? Go to your bilingual dictionary. It is useful sometimes. Just remember to try to
55
in English as much as possible.

【解題導語】
本文作者向我們介紹了發聲的電子詞典、雙語對照詞典以及紙質詞典的特點并反對使用電子詞典，主張中等水平及其以上的英語學習者使用英英詞典，這更能培養英語思維。
36．A．dictionaries
B．books
C．magazines
D．papers
36．A
根據邏輯以及本段第一句可知，有各種各樣的詞典。

B．even
C．yet
D．just
37．B
甚至有的詞典配有圖片，用 even 來表示進一步說明。
38．A．interesting

結合下文可知，這種會發聲的電子詞典很受學生歡迎。
39．A．saying
B．talking
C．speaking
D．telling

從下文可知，你用你的語言輸入一個單詞，這種會發聲的電子詞典就能用英語說出這個單詞，此處強調人機的交流，所以用 talking。
40．A．take down
B．get across
C．type in
D．say out
40．C
此處表示用你的語言輸入一個單詞，所以用 "type in" 表示“輸入”。
41．A．observe
B．feel
C．hear
D．say
41．C
根據上下文以及邏輯可知，你輸入一個單詞，這種會發聲的電子詞典就能用英語說出這個單詞，自然你可以在會發聲的電子詞典里看到這個單詞并聽到這個單詞的英語發音。
42．A．difficult
B．vital
C．helpful
D．easy
42．D
根據下文可知，雙語電子詞典既快速又簡捷。

C．electric
D．visual
45．B
結合上文再根據下文作者推薦中等及以上的英語學習者使用英英詞典可知他對使用雙語紙質詞典也是反對的。

D．few
46．A
此處表示中等水平的英語學習者已經懂得足夠的英語，能夠問某些東西的意思。
47．A．spends
B．pays
C．takes
D．invests
47．C
此處表示在頭腦中用一種語言翻譯另外一種語言很花費時間，故用 takes。spend 的主語不能是物。
52．C
此處表示“查閱信息”，應用 look up“（在詞典或參考書中）查閱”。refer to 表示“查閱”時，后面一般接詞典等。
53．A．why
B．because
C．when
D．where
53．B
"It may be because..." 表示“那可能是因為……”。
54．A．mind

55．B
上文提到用英語進行思維，所以此處用 stay“保持”，表示“盡可能多地用英語來學習”。
第三部分：閱讀理解
A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.
By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(誘惑) early on were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated（沮喪）and inflexible（固守己見的）.
Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn’t show up on an IQ test.
The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists’ concerns. But brain theory can’t explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.
Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people’s success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”.
EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one’s ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients(要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.
While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.
71. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that
.
A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment
B. emotional intelligence won’t show up until adolescence
C. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success
D. candy can be used to measure a person’s emotional intelligence
72. Which of the following is true of EQ and IQ according to the text?
A. The higher a person’s EQ is, the higher his or her IQ is.
B. The higher a person’s IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.
