Did you hear about the rose that grew from the concrete You know the one that shone in the middle of darkness and blossomed in times of misfortune
It was December of 2000 and my dad had been in a coma(昏迷) for two weeks. Mom only had about $20 left because the rest of the money had been used to pay the hospital bills. She bought twenty bags of bananas with that money and sat on the roadside for eight hours until she sold them all. Since Mom had to sell bananas for a living, I had to stop going to school in order to take care of my four-year-old brother-at the time I was only in the third grade. I was too young to understand the whole situation. I was just glad that I didn't have to go to school anymore so I could play soccer until Mom came home at one in the morning.
A few weeks passed and I started expecting the nights when we would eat dinner together, as a family. Before this misfortune I had always complained about the food, but now I did not have any food and I had no one to complain to. For six months every day was the same: wake up in the morning, stomach hurting from hunger, ask the neighbors for food, feed my brother, play soccer until dark, and stare at the stars until Mom got home. The day when Dad left hospital was the first day when I came face to face with appreciation, although I was totally unaware of what the feeling was.
Now I'm eighteen years old and I believe that I'm the rose that learned how to grow from the crack in the concrete, the rose that blossomed in the dark when no one was around.
11.What troubled the author's family
A. Money was tight for them. B. They had to live on bananas.
C. The children always complained. D. They couldn't afford his education.
12.Which was the experience the author had in the six months
A. He was going hungry. B. He faced his father's death.
C. He helped Mom sell bananas. D. He played soccer with his brother.
13.What does the author intend to tell us through the text
A. Misfortune makes people grow.
B. People should be helpful in hard times.
C. Society is the best school for young people.
D. Young people should be independent earlier.
14.Which can be the best title for the text
A.A hard childhood B.My hard-working mother
C. Life is like the cold concrete D. The rose that grew from the concrete
三、七选五
Our habits are what shape us — our words, our behavior, and even our life itself. ①________
Pity yourself.
All bad habits start with never-ending pity for your unhappy self and talking endlessly about your bad luck. Your figure, income, education, apartment, the weather, and even the tiniest inconvenience can become a cause for feeling upset. Those who develop the habit of pitying themselves lose the sympathy (同情) of people around them. ②________
Assess everything in terms of money.
Some people think that happiness can be achieved by having lots of money and that you cannot really enjoy life if you don't wear fancy clothes, live in a big house or drive an expensive car. ③________ Instead, they develop their ability to attract it. A truly successful person is not totally dependent on his or her money.
④________
Scientists say that people who don't feel they belong in their jobs are very likely to feel unhappy and live in poverty. The reason for this is their feelings that make them do what they don't want and don't like to do. To get rid of this habit for good, you should put your strength and energies into something satisfying. This is the only way to achieve excellent results.
Stay away from your relatives.
⑤________ And that's obvious, because it's the only place where you can find relief and support when everything comes crashing down around you.
A. Do what you don't like.
B. Try your best to improve your work.
C. It's time to change your living pattern!
D. Nobody wants to be around those people.
E. Most successful people love and value their family most.
F. And among them are some habits that should be avoided at all costs.
G. However, wise people do not refer to wealth as the amount of money they get.
答案以及解析
一、语法填空
1.答案：starred
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：贾玲主演的《热辣滚烫》在今年春节档抢镜，提前稳坐票房冠军宝座。本句谓语为stole，此处为非谓语动词，且YOLO与starr“主演”为被动关系，应用过去分词，作定语。故填starred。
2.答案：has witnessed
解析：考查时态、主谓一致。句意：在这几年里，我们的学校电梯见证了懒惰而脆弱的学生排着长队急切地等待，没有自己爬楼梯的坚强意志。根据For these couples of years可知，witness“见证”这一动作开始于过去，持续到现在，句子应用现在完成时，又因主语our school lift是第三人称单数，所以助动词用has。故填has witnessed。
3.答案：to be examined
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：在入口处接受检查使我很紧张。句首it是形式主语，空处应用动词不定式形式作真正的主语，且结合语意，me和examine之间是被动关系，所以用不定式的被动形式。故填to be examined。
4.答案：agreement
解析：句意:从长远来看,这个稳定的协议应该产生非常积极的结果。agreement n.协定,协议;同意;(意见或看法)一致。
5.答案：is cherished
解析：句意:包括商人在内的各级运营者都珍视信任。陈述事实用一般现在时,主语trust和动词cherish之间是被动关系,用被动语态。trust是抽象名词,故谓语动词用第三人称单数。
6.答案：will be giving
解析：句意:“爸爸正忙于他关于5G网络的论文。”“正是如此,下周这个时候他将会正在讲课。”由this time next week 可知,用将来进行时。
7.答案：presentation
解析：句意:市长向经营者颁发了奖品。presentation n.提交,颁发;演出;发布会;颁奖仪式。
8.答案：will be lying
解析：句意:明年的这个时候,我们将躺在巴西某处的海滩上。表示的时间是“明年这个时候”,故应该用将来进行时,其构成是“will be + doing”, lie意为“躺着”时的现在分词是lying。
9.答案：varied
解析：句意:个人的口味和喜好各不相同。在系动词are后面,用形容词作表语。
10.答案：will be receiving
解析：句意:对不起,今天下午我有事。三点钟我将接待一些来自非洲的客人。根据上文I will be occupied this afternoon 可知,应用将来时,且时间为At three o'clock,表示将来某一时刻某一动作正在进行,应用将来进行时。
二、阅读理解
11.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Mom only had about $20 left because the rest of the money had been used to pay the hospital bills.”可知,金钱紧缺困扰着作者的家庭。故选A。
12.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“...wake up in the morning, stomach hurting from hunger, ask the neighbors for food, feed my brother...”可知,在那六个月里作者经历的是饥饿。故选A。
13.答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,作者把自己比喻成从混凝土裂缝中成长的玫瑰,可得出作者想通过文章告诉我们不幸使人成长。故选A。
14.答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。根据最后一段“..I'm the rose that learned how to grow from the crack in the concrete, the rose that blossomed in the dark when no one was around.”可知,作者用玫瑰自喻,用混凝土和黑暗比喻人间的不幸,所以标题应为“从混凝土里长出来的玫瑰”。故选D。
三、七选五
答案：FDGAE
解析：文章主要讲述了四种我们应该避免的习惯。
①上文主要讲述了我们的习惯影响着我们的语言、行为,甚至是我们的生活本身。联系上下文内容可知,此处表示其中包括一些应该不惜一切代价避免的习惯。故选F,起承上启下的作用。
②根据上文中的"Those who develop the habit of pitying themselves lose the sympathy(同情) of people around them"可知,那些养成怜悯自己这一习惯的人失去了周围人的同情。故可推知没有人愿意在那些人的身边。故选D。
③根据下文中的"Instead, they develop their ability to attract it. A truly successful person is not totally dependent on his or her money"可知,相反,明智的人提高他们的能力吸引它。一个真正成功的人并不完全是依靠自己的钱。根据语境可知,空处与前面的内容是转折关系,故选G。
④空处为这一部分的小标题。根据下文内容可知,科学家说那些不适应自己工作的人很可能感到不快乐,并过着贫穷的生活。为了改掉这一习惯,你需要做些令你满意的事情。根据语境可知应选A,"做你不喜欢的事"。
⑤根据本部分的小标题以及空后内容可知,此处讲家庭的重要性,且下文中提到当你周围的一切都崩溃时,这是你唯一能得到宽慰和支持的地方。故选E,"大多数成功人士最热爱和重视他们的家庭"。Unit 1 Growing up Understanding ideas—高二英语外研版（2019）选择性必修第二册课时优化训练

二、阅读理解
Today's world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. A key skill set for success is persistence(毅力), a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence.
BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And overtime, the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school.
"There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers," Padilla-Walker said. "This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence—which can be taught—are key to a child's life success."
Researchers determined that dads need to practice an "authoritative" parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian: rigid, demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given an appropriate level of autonomy(自主权).
In the study, about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better outcomes in school.
This particular study examined 11- to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research.
11.What is special about the BYU professors' study
A. It centered on fathers' role in parenting.
B. It was based on a number of large families.
C. It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.
D.It aimed to improve kids' achievement in school.
12.What would an authoritative father do when raising his children
A. Ignore their demands. B. Make decisions for them.
C. Control their behaviors. D. Explain the rules to them.
13.Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers
A. Single parents. B. Children aged from 11 to 14.
C. Authoritarian fathers. D. Mothers in two-parent homes.
14.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Three Characteristics of Authoritative Fathers
B.Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in Future
C. Children Tend to Learn Determination from Father
D. Family Relationship Influences School Performance
三、七选五
My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. ①_____ So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn't entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing(水管) worked. ②_____ Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, "Ouverture des portes," in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it's a shame I don't have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. ③_____ French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
④_____ On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency(效率). You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded. ⑤_____ When do these people work The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.

答案以及解析
一、语法填空
1.答案：from
解析：根据句意，横线处应是from，withdraw from"退出"，是动词短语。故填:from。
2.答案：comes
解析：考查时态和主谓一致。句意：屠呦呦证明了伟大的荣誉来自艰辛，而机会只属于有准备的人。分析句意可知，that从句中陈述的是客观事实，所以从句的时态用一般现在时；再分析句式结构，that从句中的主语great honor是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词用动词的第三人称单数形式。故填comes。
3.答案：are seated
解析：考查动词时态和语态。句意：由于解决气候危机和逃避海平面上升的研究，在不久的将来，许多漂浮的建筑将被安置在水面上。分析句子结构可知，seat作本句谓语，和主语floating architectures之间是被动关系，本句是before引导的时间状语从句，主句为一般将来时，从句用一般现在时表将来，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为复数。故填are seated。
4.答案：instantly
解析：考查词性转换。句意：加加林是世界上第一位宇航员，因此他立刻成了国际名人。此处应用副词修饰动词became，故填instantly。

8.答案：approval
解析：句意:我发现,许多年轻人通过在网上获得多少公众认可来衡量自己的地位。approval n.赞成;同意;批准;通过。
9.答案：steadily

12.答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知,“权威式的”父亲并不是专制,而是让孩子感受到温暖和爱,强调责任和规则背后的原因,给予孩子适当的自主权。故可推断出,一个“权威式的”父亲会做的事情是给孩子解释规则。故选D项。
13.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句内容可知,未来研究的重点是单亲父母在教授毅力的好处方面发挥的作用。故选A项。
14.答案：C

三、七选五
答案：FCGEA
解析：①分析语境可知,空前空后讲到了"我的丈夫和我""我们",因此,空处讲到的应该也是"我们",F项中"Our" "we"符合判断,且F项讲出了我们租公寓的目的,符合语境。
②空前一句讲到了"和通常的巴黎公寓不同,这里的水管可以使用",空后一句讲到了"我们的公寓楼里甚至还有一部小电梯",因此空处应与公寓或公寓楼有关,故C项符合语境。
③空前一句讲到了"他们吃得很好,却不发胖",而空后一句讲到了"法国的草莓尝起来不像硬纸板,相反,它们会像小炸弹一样在你的嘴里爆炸",因此空处讲到的应该是法国的食物带给人的感受,故G项符合语境。
④本题需结合上段内容作答,上一段讲到巴黎的食物非常美味,人们不需要吃太多就可以感到开心。空后讲述作者和丈夫购买食品杂货时发现巴黎的食物很贵,暗含法国人因此吃得少,故E项"那不是法国人比我们吃得少的唯一原因"符合语境。
⑤空前一句讲到了"法国的咖啡馆总是爆满",而空后一句讲到了"这些人什么时候去上班呢",据此可知,空处应该会讲到咖啡馆里的一些人,故A项符合语境。Unit 1 Growing up Developing ideas—高二英语外研版（2019）选择性必修第二册课时优化训练

三、阅读理解
Just over 12 months ago I gave myself a challenge: give up spending on all but the essentials for a whole year. It hasn’t always been easy, but a year on I am wealthier and wiser. Embarrassingly, I have also realised just how much money I’ve wasted in the pubs, restaurants and through mindless shopping.
Free of any financial worries, I was spending without thinking. Giving up spending for a year was an extreme(极端的) approach, but I wanted to experince extreme frugality(节俭), change my spending patterns and pay my mortgage more instead of shopping. I could continue to pay my bills, including mortgages, broadband(宽带), phone bill, charity donations, life insurances, money to help my family and basic groceries.
It was not easy, especially in the first few months. There were lows, such as when I missed my favourite jazz concerts and hit films. There have also been some awkward moments when I've turned up to a friend’s house for dinner empty-handed. I did a lot of washing up at my friends' houses in return this year.
I did find new ways to live, however. Using sites such as Eventbrite I have been to film screenings, wine tasting evenings and theatre productions for free. Living in London I have a wealth of free cultural activities on my doorstep and I’ve been to more art exhibitions this year than ever before. I even managed a free holiday, cycling the Suffolk and Norfolk coast and camping on beaches. It’s something I’d never done before and probably wouldn't have, were it not for the challenge.
The last 12 months have taught me what things I really need. I can honestly say I’ m happier now. I’ve gained confidence and skills, done things and met lovely people I wouldn’t have otherwise done or met.
11.In the past the author wasted much money on the following EXCEPT__________.
A.purposeless shopping B.basic groceries
C.restaurants D.pubs
12.We can infer that the purpose of the author's no-spending challenge is to___________.
A.try to form a virtue of frugality B.change her former spending habits
C.pay off her mortgage as soon as possible D.reserve money for her everyday bills
13.What do we know about the author during her no-spending year __________
A.She did a lot of washing and cooking in pubs.
B.She tried cycling and camping for the first time.
C.She explored more cultural activities in London.
D.She attended concerts and wine evenings for free.
14.How does the author finally feel about her no spending year ___________
A.It's discouraging. B.It's challenging.
C.It's beneficial. D.It's embarrassing.
四、七选五
If something that you're doing doesn't challenge you, then it doesn't change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. ①_____ So challenge the following limits:
Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously.
If you're a salesman, and you're scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you'll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. ②_____ But don't stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, "Go on! I'm not scared!"
③_____
Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on. Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.
Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.
④_____ A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself.
Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.
Don't just limit yourself to your fellow travellers—try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they're going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your ticket. ⑤_____
A. You should do it continuously.
B. Someone may hang up on you.

D.Running in the gym may be a better choice.
E. Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.

答案以及解析
一、语法填空
