资源简介 高考英语复习必修2强化训练UNIT 1 CULTURAL HERITAGE1 阅读短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。Shanghai residents passing through the city’s eastern Huangpu district in October might have astonished at an unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground and relocated using new technology named the “walking machine”.In the city’s latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building, according to Lan Wuji, chief technical supervisor(技术主管) of the project. The supports act like robotic legs. They’re divided into two groups which alternately rise up and down, imitating the human pace. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward, said Lan.In recent decades, China’s rapid modernisation has seen many historic buildings razed to clear land for high-rise buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage lost as a result of destruction across the country. Some cities have launched new preservation and conservation campaigns including, on occasion, the use of advanced technologies that allow old buildings to be relocated rather than destroyed.Shanghai has possibly been China’s most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of buildings in the 1930s in the famous Huangpu district and 19th-century “Shikumen” houses in the rebuilt Xintiandi neighbourhood have offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a satisfying record of relocating old buildings. In 2018, the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou district, which was then considered to be Shanghai’s most complex relocation project to date.The Lagena Primary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, posed a new challenge—it’s T-shaped, while previously relocated structures were square or four-sided. Experts met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”, Lan said. However, he couldn’t share the exact cost of the project, and that relocation costs will differ case by case. “It can’t be used as a reference, because we have to preserve the historical building,” he said. “But in general, it’s cheaper than destroying and then rebuilding something in a new location.”(2023·山东全国统一考试仿真卷)1.How does the “walking machine” work A.It uses hundreds of ropes to lift up the entire building.B.It uses many wheels to roll the building to the new place.C.It lifts off the building story by story with the robotic legs.D.It uses sensors to control the movement of mobile supports.2.What does the underlined word “razed” probably mean in Paragraph 3 A.Replaced. B.Burnt. C.Protected. D.Destroyed.3.According to Paragraphs 3 and 4, what can we infer about the heritage preservation in China A.The use of advanced technology leads to growing concern.B.Shanghai is the pioneer in preserving architectural heritage.C.The local government has already taken action since the 1930s.D.It consequently holds back the progress of modernisation.4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage A.New Preservation Campaigns Are Launched in ChinaB.Modernisation Poses Threats to Historic BuildingsC.A Building in Shanghai “Walks” to a New LocationD.The “Walking Machine” Makes Heritage Protection Cheaper2 阅读短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。In early December I came to the Arctic town of Iqaluit in search of parenting wisdom.

They came to the conclusion that these are to decline due to changes in their habitats. They looked at temperature and rainfall records for the habitats in which these species now live, and mapped the areas that would remain suitable for them under different weather conditions.The scientists projected that if no significant efforts were made to limit greenhouse gas emissions, by the year 2100 global temperatures would be 4℃ above pre-industrial levels. In this scenario, some 34% of animal species and 57% of plants would lose more than half of their current habitat ranges. The impact on species will be felt more heavily in some parts of the world such as the Amazon region.Our society would be affected too, according to Dr. Rachel Warren, from the University of East Anglia in Britain. She says,“There will be a knock-on effect for humans because these species are important for things like water and air purification, flood control, the cycle of nutrients, and eco-tourism.”In spite of the conclusions to this paper, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, it is not all doom and gloom. Dr. Warren says,“Swift action to reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gases can prevent the biodiversity loss by reducing the amount of global warming to 2℃ rather than 4℃.” The researcher believes that this would buy time for plants and animals to adapt to the change.If nothing is changed and the predictions of this study are confirmed, the world might look very different in a few generations.(2023·重庆高三高考全真模拟)1.What made animals and plants decrease A.Temperature and rainfall.

That’s how the guidebook described Giant Rock. Dad said it arrived here millions of years ago. I was finally going to see it, in snowshoes, with my two elder cousins, my dad, and my uncle Don. I’d been travelling in the snow before, and I liked the adventure of hiking through deep snow.At the parking area, after putting on our snowshoes, we studied the map. Due to the geographical location, electrical devices are inaccessible here. The map is our only guide. “We start here,” Dad said, “on the red trail(小路). Then we turn left onto the purple road. That’s where Giant Rock is.” “Remember to stick together and don’t wander off, guys,” Uncle Don said.The trail ran uphill alongside a stone wall. It was easy to follow because red markers were nailed to the trees and the snow had been packed down by other hikers. At the top of the hill, we turned onto the purple trail. We settled into a pattern, with Dad and everyone else in front and me in the back, crunching(嘎吱嘎吱地走) through the snow. I saw lots of animal tracks—mostly deer, squirrel, and rabbit prints. As the trail wound down, my cousin Andrew said what I’d been thinking:“Will we ever reach Giant Rock ” My cousin Aiden smiled and turned to me, “Luke, do you think your dad invented this idea just to get us away from the TV for a while ” I laughed. “You never know.”Finally, we climbed a hill and saw the massive boulder sitting alone in the forest. It really is as big as a house! My cousins and I gave each other five and jogged until we stood at the base, breathlessly. Standing in the boulder’s broad shadow, I noticed the sun had sunk lower.“Let’s head back,” Dad said after a few minutes. “There will be several crossroads on the way back. Guys, keep up with the team.” Soon we were crunching home. I was a little behind the group when we approached a crossroads. And I noticed a set of animal tracks I didn’t recognise, so I followed them for a closer look.(2023·广东华南师大附中第三次模拟考试)Paragraph 1:I looked up when I suddenly realised how quiet it had gotten.

She saw the pair sharing a pizza and soft drink while they were having a friendly chat. Mr Barnes uploaded the image with the notes:“Cassie was out on her lunch break and observed the officer enjoying lunch with a homeless person.”Officer Rivers recalled seeing the woman earlier that day. He told Yahoo News:“I was leaving the parking lot of Walmart and she was standing by the stop sign. Her shirt read, ‘Homeless, the fastest way of becoming a nobody.’ I hated that she felt that way.” He added:“I always try to talk to the homeless just to see how they got into their situation. You know, because it can happen to anyone of us, at any given moment.”After he drove away, he circled back to ask if the woman was hungry and if she wanted food. The officer said she was honoured by his offer. He bought them both pizza and Mountain Dew and when the pair sat down to eat, he learnt of her family struggles and told her:“Hey, you still got stuff to live for; you still got your life ahead of you. It’s never too late.”Officer Rivers, who does recruiting for the Goldsboro PD, hopes to send a message of sympathy for others. He added:“When the younger or newer guys come in, I let them know, ‘Hey, treating the community like human beings is the most important thing in the world.’”“So, if we as police officers show that love and sympathy to everybody, no matter their age, financial background or race, the world would be a better place.”1.Why did Chris Barnes share the photo on Facebook A.Because it was taken by his wife.B.Because the officer was his friend.C.Because the officer was handsome.D.Because he was impressed by the officer’s action.2.Why did the officer come back for the homeless woman A.Because she asked him for food.B.Because her situation was serious.C.Because he wanted to make a difference to her.D.Because he wanted to become an Internet celebrity.3.What does the officer want to pass on to his new colleagues A.Anyone can become homeless at any given moment.B.Policemen should be sympathetic and caring.C.Policemen should become heroes.D.People should learn to draw others’ attention.4.What does the text mainly talk about A.A policeman seen sharing lunch with a homeless woman.B.How policemen help the homeless.C.A lucky homeless woman.D.How to become a good model for policemen.2 阅读短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Have you seen people who take pictures of food for more than 10 minutes before eating How about those who beautify their selfie so much that they can’t be 1 There must be one or more who 2 in your social media.

Every time we went to a restaurant, she would not take a 3 until all the dishes we 4 were on the table. Then, she would spend five minutes setting the dishes in a seemingly random but in fact 5 order. Then the most important part: taking pictures. After that, she would choose one of the 6 and click in the filter app. The food eventually looked 10 times more delicious than it really was, but we had no 7 to really enjoy it—it all went cold. Actually Chen’s real life is much less elegant. For example, she hates to wash the dishes, so she leaves them in the sink for 8 . Many people care too much about others’ opinions and try too hard to 9 others. They find it hard to be 10 and to accept themselves, and thus they are afraid to show their real life on social media. What they are trying to prove is 11 what they lack in reality. But this will not bring any change to reality, as they still 12 the same old pattern of life. If they really want an elegant life, they should put more 13 into achieving it rather than fabricating(伪造) it. Being more confident, 14 themselves and trying their best to be better are much more meaningful than 15 their life on social media. 1.A.envied B.admired C.recognised D.defeated2.A.exist B.survive C.flood D.spot3.A.bow B.break C.breath D.bite4.A.ordered B.served C.offered D.prepared5.A.messy B.arranged C.casual D.correct6.A.dishes B.restaurants C.pictures D.tables7.A.chance B.choice C.excuse D.reason8.A.months B.years C.hours D.days9.A.comfort B.please C.inspire D.discourage10.A.independent B.generous C.responsible D.confident11.A.rarely B.hardly C.exactly D.nearly12.A.question B.dislike C.doubt D.follow13.A.effort B.ambitions C.feelings D.money14.A.identifying B.accepting C.persuading D.amusing15.A.simplifying B.ruining C.beautifying D.worsening3 应用文写作假定你是李华,你的朋友Nick近来沉迷于网络游戏《王者荣耀》(King of Glory)不能自拔,你在得知此事后非常担忧。请你给他写一封信予以劝说,要点如下:1.你对他的担心; 2.游戏的危害; 3.摆脱游戏的办法。注意: 1.写作词数应为80左右; 2.可以适当添加细节,以使行文连贯。(2023·湖北黄冈第六次模拟考试)Dear Nick, Yours sincerely,Li HuaUNIT 4 HISTORY AND TRADITIONS1 阅读短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。During this year’s Spring Festival, Ma Rui made a meme(表情包) by piecing together her portrait and images of firecrackers and golden coins. Ma sent it to relatives and friends on social media as her new year’s greeting.“Traditional text greetings are tedious. A meme sticker of myself is more creative and personal,” said Ma, a 38-year-old woman working in Yinchuan. As a regular meme maker, Ma also made her cat and dog as the main characters of her creations. With her ever-increasing meme collection, she can deal with most online communications by sending memes without sending a text message. On China’s most popular social networking apps WeChat and QQ, many users have developed the habit of collecting memes in their accounts, including those featuring celebrities, animals,and cartoon characters. Ma has been using emojis and memes on WeChat for about 10 years, but they were limited in the past.In recent years, meme-making has become a new trend, with the emergence of more designers and apps for making memes. With free apps, people can create their own memes and share them online. As an industry, meme-making can also bring decent incomes for meme designers, injecting vitality into related products and industries. “A good meme can accurately express what one means and reduce misunderstanding and embarrassment. This is why people need it,” said Luo Yalong, a 30-year-old meme designer.Luo created a cartoon character named “Little Chubby Inu”. With this image, he designed nearly one thousand memes with different expressions, which have been used billions of times on WeChat since it was first introduced in 2017.The image of Little Chubby Inu has also been printed on T-shirts, mugs, and cosmetics and packages of popular drink brands. This year, Luo opened an online store for Little Chubby Inu-themed products.By drawing inspiration from popular websites young people like to visit, Luo has become a prolific meme-maker, creating a new series of memes every two or three months. “Attractive memes are emerging every day, while users’ tastes are ever-changing. For us designers, it causes great pressure but also presents immense opportunities,” Luo said.(2023·江苏四校联考考前复习卷)1.What does the underlined word “tedious” in Paragraph 2 mean A.Narrow. B.Dull.

According to a recent survey, most think nostalgia(怀旧) isn’t just what it used to be. 1 The Internet, cheap foreign travel, cars, health care and televisions are among developments that make life better today, although they do say telemarketing calls, junk mails and bad manners make them cross. Richard Drew, an estate agent in Retirement Move—who carried out the survey, said, Grandparents didn’t seem to want to turn back time. 2 They also show the opinion older people think everything used to be better isn’t true. Retirement may have come with a little anxiety in the past. Nowadays, however, it’s rightfully something to look forward to. 3 The study found nearly eight in ten grandparents said the Internet has improved life thanks to online shopping, offering new ways of communicating and online banking. It’s not just shopping online that has had a positive impact—shops are better now too. 4 A third of those polled said films are of a higher standard now. Slightly less than a third think they are worse now. More than 50 per cent said TV has improved and just under half prefer today’s radio. Although almost half said life is better now compared to when they were in their twenties, this didn’t stop grandparents complaining about manners, traffic and driving etiquette(规矩). 5 A third on the list gave the word “optimistic”. (2023·陕西西安中学月考)A.Opinions on films differed greatly.B.Many of them are fond of watching films.

But it does not come for all of us.Your favourite music uncovers a lot about your personality, and so does how you respond to that music. Studies suppose that as few as 55 percent of people experience “skin excitement” when listening to music. And if you count yourself among this group, the goosebumps on your skin aren’t the only giveaway—scientists can read it in your brain, too. In a new study published in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, Harvard researchers performed brain scans on 10 students who said they reliably got cold when listening to music, and 10 students who didn’t. They found that the cold-prone brains may really be excited by stronger emotions.Cold-prone brains are generally more likely to show stronger emotional intelligence than no-cold brains. Cold-prone minds tend to have unusual active imagination, reflect more deeply on their emotions, and appreciate nature and the beauty of music and art to a stronger degree than no-cold brains.So, what type of music causes the chills It seems that the type is not so important; participants in the new study reported getting cold from songs of every kind. And any song connected with a strong emotional memory of the listener can produce the most reliable results. For me, that’s the song Sailing to Philadelphia by Mark Knopfler, which I listened to as a kid in the car with my dad, on the way to the summer camp.(2022·浙江北斗星盟第三次模拟考试)1.What can we learn about “skin excitement” in the text A.It helps to produce dopamine.B.It is caused by the pain in the skin.C.It can be experienced by every music listener.D.It is the human body’s reaction to something nice.2.What does the new study by Harvard researchers mainly find A.The percentage of music lovers in students.B.The solutions to the goosebumps on one’s skin.C.The differences between cold-prone and no-cold brains.D.The relationship between one’s music preference and personality.3.What are people with cold-prone brains like A.Beautiful and intelligent. B.Emotional and dishonest.C.Imaginative and sensitive. D.Brave and strong-minded.4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text A.Responses to Music Vary among PeopleB.A Feeling of Cold Is Caused by Horrible MusicC.Your Favourite Music Reveals Your PersonalityD.Favourite Music May Bring Forth GoosebumpsBThe late, great producer Phil Ramone worked with many famous popular singers. However, one of his albums is a little different. It’s classical music, made for children.“He actually started as a child violinist,” said Marc Neikrug, a famous classical composer who worked together with Ramone on the album, Sunken Cathedrals, after being introduced by Rock Positano, a doctor with a special interest in music’s value to medicine. “The three of us all want to promote classical music to children.”In the digital age when children develop surrounded by constant distractions, however, Neikrug sees a very particular value in classical music. “I’m concerned about a world in which there is an almost aggressive move to lower people’s attention spans,” he said. “That’s terrifying. How do you even absorb and learn things How do you expect kids to do well in school ”“I think it’s really important to let kids build some kind of ability to focus,” Neikrug said. “Great music can do that, because you’re drawn into what you’re listening to. A two-or three-minute music may not seem so long to concentrate on, but it’s a good attention span for kids. We picked the pieces very deliberately to be not too long.”All of the pieces on the two-part album are unadapted, complete works of classical music. “Phil, Dr. Rock and I were all completely convinced that we need little, short, beautiful pieces for kids. They happen to be really good for adults too,” he pointed out, though the words “Classics for Kids” on the cover might scare some grown people off. This doesn’t mean you should throw all of your popular music albums away or trash all the screen devices in your home. “I’m not an advocate for disregarding the reality of living in this world,” Neikrug said. “I would say someone who grows up able to focus for an hour and equally able to use the smartphone with one hand, is fine.”(2022·河北高三考前仿真试题)5.What did Marc Neikrug and Rock Positano have in common A.They had the same career. B.They had the same interest.C.They had the same circle of friends. D.They had the same number of children.6.What was Neikrug worried about A.People’s decreasing attention spans. B.People becoming too aggressive.C.People’s low learning ability. D.People losing faith in school.7.Why did Ramone and Neikrug select short pieces for the album A.To attract distracted adults. B.Because of their own preference.C.To include more pieces in the album.

Unfortunately, it got quieter and quieter. Soon it might be too dark to tell what colour the markers were. What if I couldn’t find my way back As going worriedly, I heard voices, someone calling far away. Following the voices, I noticed the stone wall, the trail running alongside it. It must be the right way back! I rushed downhill with big steps. Then, I saw the parking area, and my family! I shouted as I ran towards them. “Luke Are you OK ” The voice of Dad was urgent. I’d only been lost for minutes, but it seemed like forever. Now all I wanted was a bear hug from Dad and to make tracks for home.UNIT 3 THE INTERNET1语篇导读 语篇类型:记叙文(人物介绍)主题语境:人与社会(社会交往)内容概要:美国北卡罗来纳州的一名警官Michael Rivers与一名无家可归的女士坐在路边分享午餐的照片被上传到网络上,他的善意受到一致好评1.D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Mr Barnes uploaded the image with the notes:‘Cassie was out on her lunch break and observed the officer enjoying lunch with a homeless person.’”可推知,Chris Barnes在Facebook上分享这张照片,是因为他对这位警官的行为印象深刻。故选D项。2.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Her shirt read, ‘Homeless, the fastest way of becoming a nobody.’ I hated that she felt that way.”可知,Michael警官不愿意那个女士那样想。再根据第四段中他对这个女士所说的话“Hey, you still got stuff to live for; you still got your life ahead of you.

They found that the cold-prone brains may really be excited by stronger emotions.”可知,这项新研究的成果主要是发现了听歌时会发冷和不会发冷的人的大脑的区别。故选C项。3.C 推理判断题。根据第四段“Cold-prone brains are generally more likely to show stronger emotional intelligence than no-cold brains. Cold-prone minds tend to have unusual active imagination, reflect more deeply on their emotions, and appreciate nature and the beauty of music and art to a stronger degree than no-cold brains. ”可推断,听歌容易发冷的人情商较高,善解人意,且想象力丰富,对自然、音乐和艺术美的感觉是敏锐的。故选C项。4.D 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了一项关于听到最喜爱的音乐会让人“皮肤兴奋”且产生寒意的相关研究,并解释了这背后的原因。第一段“When you hear the beginning of your favourite song from the radio, suddenly your neck is covered in goosebumps.”引出文章主题。D项“最喜欢的音乐会让你起鸡皮疙瘩”最适合作文章标题。故选D项。B语篇导读 语篇类型:记叙文(个人故事)主题语境:人与自我(完善自我)内容概要:Marc Neikrug、Phil Ramone以及Rock Positano合作制作了一张儿童古典音乐专辑,他们认为古典音乐能帮助孩子们培养专注力5.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Marc Neikrug, a famous classical composer who worked together with Ramone on the album”和“Rock Positano, a doctor with a special interest in music’s value to medicine”可知,Marc Neikrug和Rock Positano都对音乐感兴趣,致力于把古典音乐推广给孩子们。故选B项。6.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“‘I’m concerned about a world in which there is an almost aggressive move to lower people’s attention spans’, he said.”可知,当今世界让人们的持续关注时间不断减少,Neikrug对此表示担忧。故选A项。7.D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“A two-or three-minute music may not seem so long to concentrate on, but it’s a good attention span for kids. We picked the pieces very deliberately to be not too long.”可知,由于孩子的持续关注时间很短,所以Ramone和Neikrug专门选取短的曲子迎合孩子们的心智特征。故选D项。8.D 主旨大意题。文章围绕classical music for children这一主题信息。根据第四段中的“‘I think it’s really important to let kids build some kind of ability to focus,’ Neikrug said. ‘Great music can do that, because you’re drawn into what you’re listening to…’”可知,古典音乐能帮助孩子们培养专注力,使孩子们从中受益。故选D项。2语篇导读 语篇类型:记叙文(个人故事)主题语境:人与自我(人生态度)内容概要:青年音乐家Patrick先生虽然身体残疾,但是很有音乐天赋且意志坚韧1.B 结合下文His fingers danced across the keys可知,他弹奏的是钢琴。年轻的音乐家Patrick先生坐着轮椅上了台,开始弹钢琴(piano)。chess国际象棋;game游戏;violin小提琴。2.B 结合上文描述Patrick弹奏钢琴,手指在琴键上舞蹈可知,这里是说他演奏出了美妙的音乐(music)。time时间;look样子;action行为。3.C 接着,他边弹边唱,歌声甚至更加美妙(beautiful)。terrible糟糕的; healthy健康的;popular流行的。4.C 结合下文“It was something that I really can’t explain.
