（一）、阅读理解。

In 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher gave the class an assignment to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. Jean’s father was a crop dusting pilot in the little farming community in Northern California where she was raised, and Jean was very interested in airplanes and flying. She poured her heart into her report and included all of her dreams. She wanted to be a crop dusting pilot, make parachute jumps(跳伞), and be an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an "F" on it. The teacher told her it was a "fairy tale" and that none of the occupations she listed were women’s jobs. Jean was devastated and humiliated. One day in her senior year of high school, her English teacher Mrs Dorothy Slaton gave the 1

class an assignment. "If you had unlimited money, unlimited access to the finest schools, and unlimited talents and abilities, what would you do?" Jean felt a rush of her old enthusiasm, and with excitement she wrote down all her old dreams. The teacher leaned forward over her desk and said, "You do have unlimited abilities and talents. When you leave school, if you don’t go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want if you want it enough." The hurt and fear of years of discouragement went away because of what Mrs Slaton had said. Jean felt excited and a little scared. She stayed after class and went up to the teacher’s desk. Jean thanked Mrs Slaton and told her about her dream of becoming a pilot. Mrs Slaton half rose and slapped the desk top. "Then do it!" she said. So Jean did. It didn’t happen overnight. It took her 10 years of hard work. It wasn’t in Jean’s nature to stand up for herself when someone refused or humiliated her. Instead, she would quietly try to find another way. She became a private pilot and then flew planes as a co-pilot (副驾驶员). In 1978, she became one of the first three female pilot trainees ever accepted by United Airlines and one of the only 50 women airline pilots in the nation at that time. Some years later, Jean Harper became a Boeing 737 captain for United Airlines. 1.When Jean Harper was in the third grade, _________. A.it was common for women to be airline pilots B. her father advised her to be a pilot like him in the future C. she was unsure about what she wanted to be when she grew up D. she was deeply hurt by her teacher’s comment on her dreams

2.What was Mrs Slaton’s reaction when she learned about Jean Harper’s dream?

A. Encouraging Jean to do what she wanted to. B. Offering Jean as much help as she could. C. Persuading Jean to give up her dream. D. Making Jean aware of all the possible difficulties. 3.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. How Jean Harper achieved her flying dream. B. Jean Harper’s great achievements in flying.

C. The hardships Jean Harper experienced when trying to be a pilot. 2

D. Jean Harper’s determination to pursue her dream.

4.What gave Jean Harper enough strength and faith to pursue her dream? A. Her father’s influence on her.

B. Mrs Slaton’s support.

C. Her decision to stand up for herself. D.A teacher’s humiliation when she was in the third grade.

【文章大意】本文是一篇人物传记，介绍了Jean Harper如何在英语老师的鼓励下，实现了当一名飞行员的梦想。

1.D 【解析】细节理解题。由第二段中的"Jean was devastated and humiliated"和第四段中的"The hurt and fear of years of discouragement"可知答案为D。

3.B 【解析】段落大意题。最后一段主要讲述了Jean Harper在飞行方面的成就，所以答案为B。

4.B 【解析】推理判断题。文中提到的Jean Harper的两位老师，一位打击她的梦想，让她几乎对此丧失信心；另一位老师给她无限的信心，让她相信自己，坚持追寻梦想，所以答案为B。

（二）、单句语法填空

1．(2017·天津高考)My room is a mess, but I ________ clean it before I go out tonight. I can do it in the morning. 答案：needn't

由“I can do it in the morning”可知，“我”今晚没必要打扫，应用Sb. needn't do sth. 句式。

2．(2017·天津高考)I was watching the clock all through the meeting, as I had a train________

(catch)．

答案：to catch

结合句意可知，此处表示将要发生的动作，故用动词不定式作定语。

3．There is a limit ________

the amount of pain we can bear. 答案：to

There is a limit to ... “……是有限度的”。

4．The beautiful lady sat a little straighter and tried to look ________

(slim) and younger. 答案：slimmer

由“and younger”可知，应用比较级slimmer “更苗条”。

1．D

根据上文中的“an old woman stepped into my video store, along with her daughter”5

可知，一位老母亲和她的女儿一起来到“我”的音像商店；结合下文中的“If the daughter had possessed...other shoppers”可知，女儿显得很不耐烦，故D项正确。A项意为“商人”；B项意为“女侍者，女服务员”。

2．C

根据上文内容以及空处所在句中的“displaying a serious state of impatience”可知，这个女儿显得很不耐烦；据此可以判断，她不停地查看(checking)手表，故选C项。A项意为“固定，修理”；B项意为“移开，去除”；D项意为“调整，校正”。

3．A

根据空处所在句中的“If the daughter had possessed a leash(绳子)，her mother would have been __3__ to it as a means of pulling her along”可知，如果这个女儿有一根绳子的话，她的母亲将被系在绳子的一头。A项意为“把……系在”，符合语境，故A项正确。B项意为“致力，奉献”；C项意为“使习惯”；D项意为“申请，运用”。

4．D

根据上文及空后的“the rush of other shoppers”可以判断，如果有绳子，这个女儿将用绳子拉住她的母亲，以赶上(keep pace with)匆匆的购物人群，故选D项。A项意为“突然挣脱，逃脱”；B项意为“给……让路”；C项意为“与……融洽相处”。

5．B

根据该空所在句中的“I asked __5__ I could help her”可知，空处引导宾语从句，作动词asked的宾语，由“I could help her”和asked可以判断，“我”问她是否需要帮忙。因此用whether引导该宾语从句，故B项正确。

6．B

根据下文中的“find the DVD”，结合该空所在句“The woman smiled at me and showed me a __6__ on a piece of paper”可知，这位母亲微笑着递给“我”一张写有名称的纸。B项意为“名称，标题”，符合语境，故B项正确。A项意为“建议”，C项意为“票”，D项意为“收据”，都与语境不符。

7．C

根据该空所在句中的“I asked her to __8__ with me so I could show her where she could find it”可知，“我”让她和“我”一起走(walk)以便“我”能让她知道她在哪里可以找到她需要的DVD；据此可以判断，“我”没有急忙为她寻找。C项意为“而不是”，符合语境，故C项正确。A项意为“除……之外”；B项意为“至于”；D项意为“不管，不顾”。

8．D

参见上题解析。下文中的“walked”亦是提示。A项意为“交流”，B项意为“慢跑”，C项意为“交易”，都与语境不符。

9．C

根据空后的“As we walked along the back of the store”可知，“我”和她一起走着寻找她需要的DVD；结合该空所在句中的“I wanted to enjoy her __9__ for a moment”可以判断，“我”想要她陪伴(company)“我”一会儿。A项意为“停留，逗留”；B项意为“假期”。

10．A

根据该空所在句中的“its floor plan(分布图)：old television shows，action movies，cartoons，science fiction films etc.”可知，“我”向她描述(described)着商店的商品分区情况：老的电视节目、动作片、卡通片以及科幻片等。故A项正确。B项意为“责备”；C项意为“欣赏”；D项意为“纠正”。

11．A

根据空前的“The woman seemed glad of the unrushed‘trip’”可知，这位母亲对这6

次并不匆忙的购物过程感到很满意；空处与“the unrushed‘trip’”，相呼应，据此可以判断，该处表示“轻松随意的交谈”。A项意为“轻松的，随意的”，符合语境，故A项正确。B项意为“吸引人的”；C项意为“严厉的，严肃的”；D项意为“使人信服的”。

12．B

13．A

根据下文中的“When she's gone，it's...to you”可知，如果她的母亲去世了，这是她可以回想起来的时刻；据此可以判断，“我”建议她珍惜她的母亲；空处作宾语，因此用宾格her，故A项正确。

14．D

参见上题解析。D项意为“时刻”，符合语境，故D项正确。A项意为“感情”，B项意为“礼物”，C项意为“机会”，都与语境不符。

15．C

根据空后的“I still missed my mom and remembered the times when I'd used my impatience to make her __16__ ”可知，“我”仍然怀念“我”的母亲，记得“我”用不耐烦让“我”的母亲难过的日子；据此可以判断，“我”对她说的这种情况是真实的(true)。故C项正确。A项意为“合理的”；B项意为“可能的”；D项意为“适当的，恰当的，相称的”。
