2024屆高考英語大一輪復習綜合訓練:選修6 Module 2《Fantasy Literature—Philip Pullman》(外研版含解析)
第一部分 選修六 Module 2
Ⅰ.閱讀理解
(2024·山西省高三第三次四校聯考)
Selena Gomez and I are scheduled to meet at a low-key coffee shop in Encino. Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early. As I was catching up on e-mails, Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. No bodyguard. Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.
After making small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. Selena declared 2024 the year of movies. She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.
Now that her Disney days are behind her, Selena is at that unstable point in a child star's career where she is trying to grow up—both as a person(she turned 20 in July)and as an artist. “Being part of the Disney Channel was such a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued, “I don't necessarily feel accomplished. I want to create a whole different persona when it comes to acting.”
Selena has been working fulltime since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney&Friends. In 2007, when she was offered the lead in Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena, her mother, and her stepfather uprooted from Grand Prairie, Texas, to LA, where they are settling now.

A.Selena went into her film career as soon as we met in the coffee shop.
B.Three famous films filmed in 2024 have shown her teen style.
C.The film Hotel Transylvania is an action flick filmed in 2024
D.Each of the three films marks Selena's move away from her teen style.
答案:D 細節理解題。 根據第二段最后一句“Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.”
3.How did Selena think of Disney days which were behind her?
A.She thought of playing in Disney a blessing.
B.She didn't feel very satisfied with her show in Disney.
C.She found her not accomplished in her performance in Disney.
D.She believed her being part in Disney Channel a blessing.
答案:D 細節理解題。 根據第三段第二句“Being part of the Disney Channel was such a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.”
4.The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means “________”.
A.movedB.picked
C.changed D.informed
答案:A 詞義猜測題。 根據“from Grand Prairie, Texas, to LA, where they are settling now.”可知,是從德克薩斯州到洛杉磯,并定居洛杉磯,可推斷出uprooted vi.“遷離”。
Ⅱ.七選五
根據短文內容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Amy, a student in the USA, says that the best diet is to reduce what you eat and do plenty of exercise. Get involved in extra activities and never eat after 9 pm in case what you have eaten turns fat because your body system slows down in the evening and also while you sleep. __1__
David is studying in the USA and he believes that it is a good idea to increase the fiber he eats. __2__ Fresh is the best: beans and special fiber materials are excellent choices.
In the UK, students believe that life as a student can be very difficult. __3__ One student, Jennifer, believes that you should eat well, rest well, take vitamins to supplement your diet and you will stay healthy.
But why are so many young people obsessed with diet and exercise? Mostly because they realize they are putting on weight and they know that obesity can lead to illnesses such as diabetes. Why do they put on weight? __4__ They get up late in the morning, dress quickly, eat quickly and then at lunch they often eat fast food and drink soda, both of which are fattening. They then sit chatting to friends, go back to class and sit listening, and late in the afternoon they leave school, meet friends and sit and chat again. If you are like most kids, you might have the same experience.
So, are you a student who is putting on weight? Which of the advice from other students do you think you will act on? __5__ So, think about your health and weight. They are both very important for your well-being and your marks at school.
A.Because they lead an unhealthy lifestyle and eat the wrong foods.
B.A healthy body means both a healthy mind and better marks at school.
C.That means for one whole day they have eaten fattening foods without exercise.
D.This is found in whole grains, fruit and vegetables which are common and daily foods.
E.Try to go for at least a 10-minute walk after eating, or better still, go for a jog or a bicycle ride.
F.You study hard, find yourself under stress and then spend a long time out with friends relaxing.
G.Because students who don't exercise tend to put on weight sooner and see a drop in their test scores.
語篇解讀:本文是一篇議論文。作為學生,怎樣才能保持健康的飲食呢?本文給出了幾種不同的觀點。
1.E 第一段首句講的是要少吃多鍛煉,空格前面講了要控制飲食,所以空處應該與多鍛煉有關。E項符合題意。
2.D 第二段第一句提到要多攝入纖維素,D項介紹了纖維素的來源,符合此處語境。
3.F 空前說作為一名學生生活是很苦的,空處應對該句進行具體說明。F項中的“study hard”“under stress”等信息與空前的“very difficult”相呼應,故選F。
4.A 空前問的是“他們為什么發胖”,空后提到了他們的一些不良作息和飲食習慣,故空處填A。
5.B 空前講到你將會踐行哪條建議,空后則說健康和體重對你的幸福和學習成績都很重要,故B符合此處語境。
Ⅲ.完形填空
(2024·黑龍江哈爾濱三中一模)
Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative (保守的) person who is __1__only among those with whom he is familiar. When a stranger is present, he often seems nervous,__2__ embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train (通勤車) any morning or evening to __3__ the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or __4__ off in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive (冒犯的).
__5__, there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, once __6__, makes the offender immediately the object of __7__.
One of the few things we can say about the British with certainty is that a British takes a(n)__8__ to the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it __9__. Some people argue that it is because the British weather __10__ follows forecast and thus becomes a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly a British cannot have much __11__ in the weathermen, whose predictions, in many cases, __12__ to be wrong! The man in the street seems to be as accurate—or as inaccurate—as the weathermen in his __13__.
Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references __14__ weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are __15__ by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isn't it?”“Beautiful day!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?”__16__ the foreigner may consider this exaggerated (夸大的) and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his __17__. If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is __18__ to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a(n) __19__ subject to which a response may well be __20__ of even the most reserved of the British.
語篇解讀:英國人安靜、保守,陌生人之間很少交談,但他們卻非常喜歡談論天氣,因此,天氣也就成為了與英國人開始一段談話的常用話題。
1.A.relaxed B.frustrated
C.amused D.exhausted
答案:A relaxed意為“放松的”;frustrated意為“沮喪的,挫敗的”;amused意為“愉悅的”;exhausted意為“疲憊的,耗盡的”。根據第一段第二句中的“When a stranger is present,he often seems nervous”可知,英國人只在其熟悉的人面前感到放松,故A項正確。
2.A.yet B.otherwise
C.even
D.so
答案:C yet意為“然而”;otherwise意為“否則,另外”;even意為“甚至”;so意為“所以”。句意為:在陌生人面前,英國人會顯得緊張,甚至感到尷尬。此處表示遞進關系,故C項正確。
3.A.experience B.witness
C.watch D.undertake
答案:B experience意為“經歷,體驗”;witness意為“目擊,證明”;watch意為“觀察”;undertake意為“承擔;允諾”。根據本段最后一句所描述的商務人士在火車上的表現可知此處表示“在任意一個早上或者晚上乘通勤車的時候,你都可以證明這一事實”,故B項正確。
4.A.whispering B.murmuring
C.nodding D.laughing
答案:C whisper意為“耳語,低聲說”;murmur意為“低語”;nod意為“點頭”;laugh意為“嘲笑”。上文提到在陌生人面前,英國人會顯得緊張,再結合此空后的hardly anybody talks可知,表情嚴肅的商人和女士坐在那里看報紙或者在角落里打盹兒。nod off意為“打瞌睡,打盹”,為固定短語,符合語境。
5.A.Hopefully B.Exactly
C.Frequently D.Obviously
答案:D 句意為:顯然,在英國有個不成文但人盡皆知的行為準則, 一旦有人打破這一準則,這個人就會立刻成為被批評的對象。hopefully意為“有希望地,有前途地”;exactly意為“恰好地,精確地”;frequently意為“頻繁地”;obviously意為“顯然地,顯而易見地”。根據語境可知D項正確。

答案:D 此處表示一旦規則被打破,故D項正確。
7.A.doubtB.argument
C.criticism
D.praise
答案:C 上半句提到這是一個人盡皆知的行為準則,故一旦有人打破,則肯定成為批評的對象。doubt意為“懷疑”;argument意為“爭論”;criticism意為“批評”;praise意為“贊美,贊揚”。根據語境可知C項正確。
8.A.emotionB.fancy
C.likeliness
D.judgment
答案:B emotion意為“情感,情緒”;fancy意為“想象,喜愛”;likeliness意為“可能性”;judgment意為“判斷,裁決”。根據下文可知,英國人喜歡談論天氣。take a fancy to sth./sb.意為“喜歡某事或某人”,為固定短語,符合語境。
9.A.at length B.at last
C.at most D.at least
答案:A at length意為“長時間地”;at last意為“最后,終于”;at most意為“至多”;at least意為“至少”。根據語境可知此處表示英國人如有機會就會暢談天氣,故A項正確。
10.A.alwaysB.often
C.constantly
D.seldom
答案:D 根據11空后的“the weathermen, whose predictions,in many cases,__12__ to be wrong”可知,英國的天氣預報很少是準確的,故此處用seldom“幾乎不”。
11.A.faithB.relief
C.honor D.credit
答案:A faith意為“信仰,信念”;relief意為“寬慰;減輕”;honor意為“榮耀,榮譽”;credit意為“信任”。因為天氣預報很少準確,英國人當然不能非常相信氣象預報員。have faith in sb.意為“信任某人”,為固定短語,故A項正確。

C.turn out D.find out
答案:C put out意為“熄滅”;make out意為“理解;辨認出”;turn out意為“最后,結果是,最終成為”;find out意為“查明”。氣象預報員的預報很多情況下被證實是錯的,故C項符合語境。

C.approval
D.appreciation
答案:B consideration意為“考慮,體諒”;prediction意為“預測”;approval意為“贊成”;appreciation意為“欣賞,感激”。上文提到氣象預報員的預報不準,此處表示街上的人似乎和氣象預報中的預報員一樣準確或者不準確。故B項符合語境。
14.A.aboutB.on
C.in
D.to
答案:D 此處考查結構make reference to的用法,意為“談及,提及”,為固定搭配,故D項正確。
15.A.startedB.conducted
C.replaced
D.proposed
答案:C start意為“開始”;conduct意為“管理;引導”;replace意為“替換”;propose意為“提議,計劃”。根據下文可知,此處表示寒暄經常會被談論天氣取代(replaced)。
16.A.SinceB.Although
C.However
D.Only if
答案:B 句意為:盡管外國人可能會認為這有些夸張和滑稽,但值得指出的是,了解這些對他是有好處的。根據下半句中的it is worthwhile...可知此處用連詞although“盡管”,引導讓步狀語從句。
17.A.benefitB.advantage
C.disadvantage D.favor
答案:B benefit意為“好處,益處”;advantage意為“優勢,有利條件”;disadvantage意為“缺點,不利條件”;favor意為“喜愛,歡心”。to one's advantage表示“對……有利”,為固定搭配。

B.in detail
C.in groups
D.on occasion
答案:A at a loss意為“茫然,困惑”;in detail意為“詳細地”;in groups意為“成群地,分組的”;on occasion意為“有時,偶爾”。外國人想要和英國人攀談,但又不知道怎樣開頭,那就不妨先談談天氣,故A項正確。
