和诚学校2019-2019学年高二英语易错题目定时训练（20）时间：55分钟分值：100分第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)AIn my mind, there is a moving story about a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart. Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. Despite his hard training at all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played.This teenager lived alone with his father, and the relationship between the two of them was very special. Even though the son was always on the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. He never missed a game. This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father continued to encourage him.The young man loved football and was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he’d get to play when he became a senior. All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a benchwarmer. Besides, his faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him. When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a “walk-on”. Everyone firmly believed that he could never make the cut, but he did.The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games. This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but actually he never got the real chance to play in a game.It was at the end of his senior football season that the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and he became totally silent. Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, “My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?” The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, “Take the rest of the week off, son. And don’t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday.”Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter, when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were surprised to see their faithful teammate back so soon. “Coach, please let me play. I’ve just got to play today,” said the young man. The coach pretended not to hear him. There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close play-off game. But the young man insisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in. “All right,” he said. “You can go in.” Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before, was doing everything right. The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, passed, blocked, and tackled like a star. His team began to succeed. The score was soon tied. In the closing seconds of the game, this kid got a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown.Finally, after the stands had emptied, the coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone. The coach came to him and said, “Kid, you were unbelievably fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?”He looked at the coach, tears in his eyes, and said, “Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?” The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, “Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could make it!”21．What’s the writer’s attitude toward the young boy in this passage?A.

The encouragement of a coachCI used to think the whole purpose of life was pursuing happiness. Everyone said the path to happiness was success, so I searched for that ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, that beautiful apartment. But instead of ever feeling fulfilled, I felt anxious and adrift. Eventually, I decided to go to graduate school for positive psychology to learn what truly makes people happy.And what’s the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists define happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good in the moment. Meaning, though, is deeper. The renowned psychologist Martin Seligman says meaning comes from belonging to and serving something beyond yourself and from developing the best within you. Our culture is obsessed with happiness, but I came to see that seeking meaning is the more fulfilling path.There are four pillars (支柱) of a meaningful life.The first pillar is belonging. Belonging comes from being in relationships where you’re valued for who you are intrinsically and where you value others as well. For many people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning.For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding that job that makes you happy. A hospital custodian told me her purpose is healing sick people. Many parents tell me, “My purpose is raising my children.” The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others. Without something worthwhile to do, people flounder.The third pillar of meaning is also about stepping beyond yourself, but in a completely different way: transcendence (超然). Transcendent experiences can change you. Transcendent states are those rare moments when you’re lifted above the hustle and bustle of daily life, your sense of self fades away, and you feel connected to a higher reality. For me, I’m a writer, and it happe ns through writing. Sometimes I get so in the zone that I lose all sense of time and place.The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself. Creating a narrative from the events of your life brings clarity. It helps you under stand how you became you. But we don’t always realize that we’re the authors of our stories and can change the way we’re telling them. Your life isn’t just a list of events. You can edit, interpret and retell your story, even as you’re constrained by the facts.That’s the power of meaning. Happiness comes and goes. But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to.29. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?A. Life can be fulfilled by landing ideal jobs.B. Life dilemma is easy for us to get out of.C. Happiness is the core values in our culture.D. Happiness is what most people pursue.30. From the four pillars of a meaningful life, we can know that ________.A. nothing is as essential a source of meaning as belongingB. purpose is less about what you want than what you giveC. transcendent fades easily and rarely makes us cheerfulD. the way of telling stories guarantees a meaningful life31. The passage aims to tell us that ________.A. meaning is more important than happinessB. seeking meaning does more good than badC. chasing happiness can make people unhappyD. meaning has deeper psychological significance 第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，Whenever anyone measures educational success, East Asian countries are always top scorers. But in a recent league table, a European country, Finland, was top of the class. 36 . Britain was at No.6. What is the secret of Finland and South Ko rea’s success? It’s ti me to do some homework.In South Korea the school day is long-typically 7 or 8 hours, followed by hours of private tutoring in the evenings. 37 Worries about the effects of late night cramming (forcing sb. to learn too much) led the government to force cramming schools to close by 10 pm. Finnish children spend the least time in class in the developed world, often finishing just after lunch, with about one hour of homework a day. Private tuition is uncommon. The British school day is quite long in comparison, about 6 hours, and secondary school pupils do 2 or 3 hours of self-study a night.The South Korean education system, like many in Asia, is extremely competitive, with students even competing to get into the best cramming schools to get ahead. Finnish education is far less competitive. 38 British schools again occupy the middle ground, with quite high levels of competition for places at university, and schools and universities battling to come top of league tables for everything from exam results to student satisfaction.South Korea and Finland both do well, yet their education systems are so different. 39 Well, there are some similarities in South Korea and Finland. In those countries, teachers have a high status in society, and education is very highly valued. Those attitudes can’t change quickly. But it can be done. 40 Their quite different approach to schooling took them to the top in just a generation. A. Then where do their differences lie? B. South Korea was still in second place, though.C. Classes are all mixed ability, and there are no league tables.D. So what lessons can Britain learn from these two countries?E. Time devoted to school is the key to South Korean students’ high scores.F. Finnish children might be the star pu pils now, but until the 1970s, Finland’s education system was poor.G. All this hard work leaves South Korean students tired to fall asleep sometimes in class next day.第三部分完形填空(共20 小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分)One of my teammates said it best on our last day of t he season: “Guys, you are my family.
