课时提能练(二十四).阅读理解(2019贵阳质检)Nov. 21 is World Hello Day. It began back in the 1970s as part of an effort to make the world more peaceful. It was created just after the war between Israel and Egypt in 1973. The philosophy (哲学) behind it is: Say “Hello” and stop war.It sounds like a fine idea, but most of us know that simply saying “Hello” wont bring about world peace. Still, on a smaller range, the simple act of saying “Hello” to someone can make a lot of difference.This might not be obvious. After all, its such a casual thing and requires so little effort. You raise your head to someone as you pass by them in the school corridor (走廊), say “Hello”，and then its over.Although we might not realize it, a small thing like a greeting can mean a lot to a person. Many people are lonely because theyre shy. They find it difficult to communicate with people, even though they want to. It leads to them feeling cut off.On this basis, maybe its a good idea, not just on Nov. 21, but every day, to remember to say “Hello” to as many people as we can. The stranger who hears your greeting may secretly smile in their heart. You might even make their day.Greeting other people is the easiest way to be polite. Politeness is the way we individual humans link up with the rest of the human world outside of our circles of family and friends. Politeness is one of the aspects of culture that make us a society rather than just many individuals living in the same space.No one said it better than the French author Joseph Joubert: “Politeness is the flower of humanity”. A “Hello” to a stranger is a small thing, and often neglected (忽视), but through it we can make the world better for another person. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了世界问候日的由来及意义的相关信息。1What is World Hello Day intended for?

beauty：mountains thick with rubber tree forests，puer tea plantations and banana trees and tiny Dai villages.Hidden among the fields of green，I spotted an odd collection of wooden boxes near a tent on the side of the road. _1_We had run into the current home of Wei Dajing，a 17yearold apprentice(学徒) beekeeper who was manning his hives.Wei was fresh to the beekeeping life，and had been on the job for just two months and was here to learn from a master beekeeper.Their tent and hive setup is always temporary. _2_This particular spot was stationed at a sunny patch of yellow flowers.“Once these flowers die，the rubber trees will flower，so we will move toward them.”he told Sam.Like thieves in the night，the beekeepers will stealthily pack up their hives in the dark once the bees go to sleep.“They are most active around midday when they are collecting their nectar(花蜜). _3_，”Wei explained.The hives were humming，and the bees were invasively bazzing around Wei as he spoke to us.Pieces of fruit lay drying among the hives，used to feed the bees and give them an extra boost of energy once Wei bottles their hardearned honey.Sam，who also has a couple of his own small hives in his backyard，told us.“You must always leave a little bit of honey in the hive. _4_”We waved goodbye to Wei.Back at Sams house，he gave us a bowlful of local honey. _5_Lacking the usual sweetness of honey

and his master move their camp as the flowers bloom and die【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了我们一行人和导游Sam在西双版纳山区旅游时发现蜂箱的经过，与养蜂人交流的情况等。1F根据空处前一句“Hidden among the fields of green，I spotted an odd collection of wooden boxes near a tent on the side of the road”可知，我发现了路边的一个帐篷附近有一堆奇怪的木箱。根据语境并结合常识可知，我让导游停下车以看看这些木箱，故F项正确。2G根据空处前一句“Their tent and hive setup is always temporary”可知，他们的帐篷和蜂箱的安排总是临时的；结合下文内容可知，他们随花开花落搬迁帐篷和蜂箱，故G项正确。3E根据空前的“They are most active around midday when they are collecting their nectar(花蜜)”可知，中午前后这些蜜蜂采蜜，这是它们最忙碌的时刻；再结合本段第一句可知，晚上蜜蜂会待在蜂箱中睡觉，这是养蜂人搬迁的时刻。故E项与该处匹配。4C根据空前的“You must always leave a little bit of honey in the hive”可知，Sam有他自己的小蜂箱，他告诉我们，一定要在蜂箱里留下一点蜂蜜。结合上文中的“used to feed the bees and give them an extra boost of energy”可知，如果蜜蜂得不到喂养，它们就会不满并抛弃你，故C项正确。5A根据空后的“Lacking the usual sweetness of honey but instead rich in a more savory，spiced flavor”可知，这种蜂蜜没有一般蜂蜜的甜味，但却含有更美的香味；据此可知，空处是介绍这种蜂蜜的特征，故A项正确。.语法填空(2018福州质检)No one is sure how many Americans belong to reading groups called book clubs.Yet 1._(publisher) and bookstores report that more

考查冠词。On the Internet“在网上”，为固定搭配。5to discuss 考查非谓语动词。他们发送电子邮件而不是聚集起来讨论他们读过的书。此处动词不定式作目的状语。6various 考查形容词。大部分读书俱乐部研究不同作家的书。空后的writers为名词，应该用形容词来修饰，variety的形容词形式为various，故填various。7usually 考查副词。空后的“one that has been famous for a while”是空前writer的同位语。usually起强调作用，修饰代词one。部分副词起强调作用时，可修饰名词、代词、介词短语等，如：Even John agreed to come.(修饰名词)；Only she could come.(修饰代词)；He went to the party only because of his wife.(修饰介词短语)。8be named 考查被动语态。此处name是动词，意为“命名”，在句中作谓语，与主语“Other groups”之间为被动关系，且空前有情态动词，故填be named。9like 考查介词。其他的俱乐部可能以一个作家的作品里的一个重要人物而命名，比如夏洛克福尔摩斯俱乐部。空后为举例子，故填like“像，例如”。10chosen 考查非谓语动词。这些读书俱乐部的成员通常是他们选中的阅读材料方面的专家。提示词choose是动词，与其所修饰的名词短语“reading materials”之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用choose的过去分词作定语，故填chosen。.短文改错(2018长春监测二)One day，when I was about 5 or 6 years old，my parents went to a
