Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2018·四川成都外校高三下月考)This summer I volunteered at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Sichuan and had a once in a lifetime chance to get within three feet. Born and raised in America,very rarely had I ever seen a panda. I had expected this moment ever since my mother told me that we would be volunteering at the Center.
When my cousin and I arrived at the Center and received our uniforms and gloves,any nervousness I had felt during the car ride quickly faded and changed into excitement. Our first task was to clean up the panda's cage. Although it was a boring job,it was interesting to be in the panda's living area and see how big the animals really are. Pandas actually fear heat,so the Center provides each animal with an ice block to keep it comfortable. When it was time to feed the pandas,the keeper gave us five pieces of food each,which consisted of bamboo,carrots,or bread to feed to a one-year-old male. Never having dreamed of being so close to a panda,I was delighted by the action and after listening to it munch(用力嚼) on the food,hurriedly offered a piece more.
Next,we watched a video on China's goal to help giant pandas back into the wild. It explained China's efforts to raise them to increase the population,and detailed measures taken to train the pandas to enter their nature reserve once again. The workers had to spend lots of time teaching the animals how to live in nature and guaranteeing their safety at all times. I am grateful to have been able to volunteer for a day and will treasure the experience for the rest of my life.

(2018·安徽六安一中高三下月考)My grandmother Adele loved culture and was generous with her gifts. When I was a child,she took me to museums,restaurants,and theatres. She showered me with gifts from her travels around the world. But I can only remember her giving me one book—a book that,to this day,I have not read. She presented me with her own favorite childhood book:Hans Brinker. My grandmother was happy to share this book with me. She even decorated the title page with her proud writing.
I tried to read it. I adored reading,and would dive into a new pile of books from the library all at once. But something about Hans Brinker just wouldn't let me in. The story was set in Holland,a long time ago. It was dull and unfamiliar—even though I was a fan of classics of other times and places. I simply read the first pages over and over. I could not progress.
Standing on a bookshelf in our living room,the book was like something I avoided. It scolded me for not being interested,for not trying hard enough,for disappointing my grandmother.
The book started to fit in,almost forgotten,until Adele asked. Had I read it? Did I like it? Always determined,she wanted to know the answer. I would make some kind of excuse,feel bad,and open it again,hoping for a new reaction. The_book_weighed_on_me. Years passed and finally Adele and I both accepted that I would never read Hans Brinker. Eventually I cleared the book from the shelf. The Hans Brinker experience led me to set a rule that I've lived by ever since:Do not ask about a book given as a gift. Don't ask,despite your desire to discuss it to grow closer. The desire for such connection is what gives book-giving with special meaning—and increases the owner's possibility to be a letdown.
Guilt is basically the same as for all gifts,though. If the giver doesn't have the pleasure of seeing or hearing about the gift being enjoyed,and asks whether it is,then the owner—unless she can truthfully say “yes”—either has to admit to not liking the present,or else lie on the spot. Neither is pleasant. So,don't ask.

Ⅱ.语法填空
(2018·重庆巴蜀中学三诊)We can always hear voices comparing the cation systems in China and the US. It's true that 1.there exist a lot of differences,but this cannot be an excuse 2.for having
a passive attitude toward studying in China.
When I came back from the US last year and continued my senior middle school cation in China,I sensed many great differences. I thought that school in China was too hard for 3.us(we) students,and that we didn't get to do enough fun exercise except running around playgrounds together. My mom had a long talk with me. After that,I realized that though high school life in China is harder,it can give us 4.more(much). The pressure helps us learn the true meaning of competition 5.before we step into society. It gives us a strong heart and 6.teaches(teach) us to step forward no matter what the 7.reality(real) is. It's like climbing a mountain. You might feel dizzy and nervous,but the top is always there 8.waiting(wait) for you as long as you are strong enough—9.to take(take) one more step. We complain 10.mainly(main) because we can't see the whole picture. We all need to understand that success takes efforts and tears.
1.考查特殊句型。there exist是there be的一种变体形式,表示“存在着……”,也可看作是一个倒装句,即:there后的动词是谓语,主语在谓语动词后,而there只是一个引导词。
2.考查固定搭配。an excuse for………的借口。
3.考查代词。介词后用宾格形式作宾语。us与其后的students 构成同位关系。 4.考查比较等级。这里的much是不定代词作动词give的直接宾语。因是与美国的教育相比,故用比较级。
5.考查引导时间状语从句的连词。句意:压力能帮助我们在踏入社会之前学习竞争的真正意义。即:学校里的压力发生在社会的压力之前,故用before。
6.考查谓语。teaches与前文的gives是并列谓语,它们共同的主语是it,即上文所说的压力。
7.考查词性转换。在从句中作主语应用名词形式。
8.考查非谓语动词作方式状语。前文的主谓结构是:the top is there,句中已有谓语动词形式,所填空处只能考虑用非谓语动词的形式。
9.考查非谓语动词作复合宾语。本句可简化为:wait for sb.to do sth.,即:to take是上文you的宾语补足语。
10.考查词性转换。副词修饰后面的从句。 Ⅲ.短文改错

1.考查词汇误用。形容人脾气不好用bad-tempered。 2.考查时态。cough与started并列。
3.考查非谓语动词。find和逻辑主语John之间是主谓关系,故用现在分词。 4.考查固定搭配。such as后的内容是并列关系。所以应用healthy的名词形式,与money保持一致。
5.考查前后逻辑。前面说道约翰决定戒烟,后面说几个小时不抽烟,约翰感到不安、注意力无法集中。所以两句之间是转折关系。
6.考查固定搭配。have difficulty in doing sth.做某事有困难。difficulty前没有a。 7.考查句子结构。one more和后面的句子之间需要用and连接。 8.考查固定搭配。break away from脱离,远离。 9.考查定语从句。先行词是cigarette,而who指代人。
10.考查固定搭配。make up one's mind to do sth.下定决心做某事。 Ⅳ.书面表达
