Module 1 British and American English (建议用时：30分钟) 阅读理解A(2019河北五个一名校联考)Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regrets, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding(衬垫) on to the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I dont only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. Its equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had forgone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”. When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldnt be here. But then I thought about the fact that he was 84 years old and I realized that I shouldnt miss an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that Im doing the right thing. Im buying myself peace of mind and thats the best kind of insurance for my emotional wellbeing.【解题导语】 “我” 认为英语中最悲伤的两个词是 “if only”，因为它们表达了遗憾。父亲在 “我” 小时候经常告诉我们花费额外的时间也要把事情做好来避免遗憾， “我” 听从父亲的建议并认为这样做是对的。1Why does the writer regard “if only” as two of the saddest words in the English language?ABecause people use them when they feel sad.BBecause they express regrets and disappointment in life.CBecause they remind the writer of some sad experiences.DBecause they mean sadness in the English language.B解析：细节理解题。由第一段中的“Two of the saddest words in the English language are if only. because they convey regrets, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.”可知， “我” 认为英语中最令人伤心的两个词是 “if only”，因为这两个词表达了后悔、错失的机会、错误和失望。故选B项。2Whats the meaning of the underlined word “forgone” in Paragraph 3?AGiven up.BCome across.CGot through. DHeld back.A解析：词义猜测题。该词所在的句子表达的意思是：我们都认识这样的人，他们在失去所爱之人后会后悔错失了说 “我爱你” 或 “我原谅你” 的机会。所以画线词表示 “失去了”，和短语give up意思接近。故选A项。3The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to Asee a doctor Bfinish her workCjoin a celebration Daccompany her fatherD解析：细节理解题。题干中的关键信息 “decided to go to her office” 对应原文中的“I had decided to go to work”，由此定位到倒数第二段。从倒数第二段可以看出， “我” 知道父亲要去自己办公室对面看眼科医生时，本来打算按原计划休假，但突然意识到父亲已经84岁了，所以 “我” 决定即便是自己的休息日，为了陪父亲，也会去上班。故选D项。4What is the best title for the passage?AAdvice from My FatherBAvoidance of Saying “If Only”CThe “Extra Minute” RuleDThe Importance of Emotional WellbeingB解析：标题归纳题。根据首尾段的第一句话及文章大意可知，本文主要是针对避免说英语中最悲伤的两个词 “if only” 进行阐述的，所以B项 “避免说if only” 符合全文内容。故选B项。B(2019惠州调研)Following the crowd may not always be in a persons best interest.But new research suggests that teens who get along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health.Thats true for both teens and adults. The finding inspired Joseph Allen, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health.So they followed 171 teens, starting when the kids were just 13. They interviewed each one every year for five years, and also spoke to these teens closest friends，who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships.The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25, 26 and 27. This time, the questions surveyed each persons overall health. When the researchers analyzed the data, they found a strong connection between a teens behavior and adult health. Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults.Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to close friends also influenced later health. Those who held back their feelings were more likely to be sick as adults. The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health.Weight, family income and drug use were all examined. So were mental health issues，such as anxiety and depression. And in these people, such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did.“Getting along with the crowd may have benefits，” says Allen, “but there are also drawbacks. Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work. And peer pressure may lead some kids to engage in risky behavior, such as smoking, drinking or using drugs. Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge，” Allen acknowledges. “Finding the right balance is the key. Teens shouldnt lose heart for not finding this easy.” And, he adds, “Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.” 【解题导语】研究表明，与朋友较少或者没有朋友的青少年相比，有朋友的青少年在长大后更健康。当然，与朋友相处有时也有坏处。5Where can you probably read this passage?AScience fiction.BHealth column.CFashion magazine.DEntertainment newspaper.B解析：文章出处题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍青少年时的友谊对青少年成年后健康的影响。据此可知，本文属于健康知识类文章，故可判断，本文可能选自 “健康专栏”。故B项正确。6We can learn from Allens study that Amany other factors have a greater influence on adult health than teen friendshipsBmental health issues have nothing to do with adult healthCthe same 171 teens were interviewed each year from 13 to 27Dthe teens who couldnt express themselves grew up to be unhealthierD解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Whether teens held back.sick as adults.”可知，青少年是否向他们的好朋友表达情感也会影响到其成年后的健康，那些压抑情感的青少年成年后很可能不健康。故D项正确。7According to what Allen said, we can know that Ain order to do better at school, teens should not follow the crowdBthough its challenging for teens to deal with peer pressure, they should not give upCteens will engage in smoking, drinking or using drugs when facing peer pressureDparents should understand their teens and stop them going with friendsB解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，与朋友相处使得青少年在成年后更加健康的同时也会带来不利影响，即周围同龄人带来的压力，这些压力会导致许多问题。分析Allen的话“Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldnt lose heart for not finding this easy.”可以判断，青少年要应对这些压力，找到正确的平衡点是关键，不能因为很难找到平衡点就灰心丧气。故B项正确。8What can be inferred from the passage?AThere is nothing bad for teens to follow the crowd.BClose friendships are the most important for peoples health.CTeen friendships may help teens become healthier adults.DAdult health is only influenced by teen friendships.C解析：推理判断题。根据文章第一段第二句“But new research suggests that teens who get along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.”可知，与朋友相处的青少年在成年后会更加健康。C项意为“青少年时期的友谊会帮助青少年成为更加健康的成年人”，符合文章意思。故C项正确。 完形填空(2019襄阳、荆州、荆门、宜昌四地七校联考)I was driving to the grocery store on a warm morning in May.
