2021年春考暨外語一考將於1月10日（本周日）9:00-11:00舉行，其中外語一考與春考外語科目同卷，同時進行。最後3天，高招君為大家帶來春考英語衝刺策略和練習題，助大家從容應考。
同學們剛剛經歷了「一模考」，在這場練兵中，可以看到高中英語知識的考查重點依然是非謂語和三大從句；涵蓋的其他考點也基本是時態語態、介詞、形容詞、副詞、情態動詞、冠詞和介詞這幾個考點。因此，考生在整理複習這一題型時要注意題型特點，要調動起自己的解題意識。
例如，若空格出現在主語與動詞原形之間，所填詞應為情態動詞；出現在不及物動詞與名詞或代詞之間時，所填詞應為介詞；出現在及物動詞和名詞之間，則填冠詞；對於主語和賓語位置的缺失，可填代詞；兩個主謂結構之間可能填連詞。在注重語法知識和句子結構知識的同時，培養解題意識和解題技巧，無疑有助於提高答題速度，增強解題信心。
另外，在考前訓練的過程中，要堅持以語篇為情境來學習語法，語篇是語法學習的重要資源，將語法學習建立在語篇情境中，有利於對語法的準確理解和運用；還要重視語法形式、意義和用法（form，meaning，use）的整合，要將語法的形式、意義和用法融入語篇中，突出語用能力的培養。
考卷中的完形填空題，其實是一種可以利用一定技巧迅速提高分數的題型，因為答案往往就隱藏在上下文語境之中。對於這類題型，考生需要了解的是：將文章作為整體進行閱讀，從每段表述中提取全文主旨，釐清文章脈絡，尋找解題線索。與此同時，考生需關注文章觀點的發展變化，在變化過程中聯繫語境推斷文意，而不是孤立地糾結於局部細節。
高考備考期間，考生需要增大閱讀量的同時，有意識地培養解題的思維能力和分析能力，訓練相關的閱讀技能，形成良好的閱讀素養。
首先，鑑於大部分閱讀理解題是細節理解題，可以根據「同義改寫」原則，尋找文中與題幹同義的表達，根據題幹的信息在文中進行同義詞定位後，細讀文本，答案通常就在定位處前後。此類題型雖然難度不大、得分率頗高，但定位同義詞以尋找解題關鍵的方式無疑能提高解題速度。
其次，對於推理判斷型閱讀題，同樣應充分利用題幹的信息，在原文中確定信息位置後，將所在語句和語段細讀，提取隱含信息，找到與選項對應的表達。
考前不適合大量做題，但是做過的題可以拿出來看一看，學習一文多用。新出爐的各區「一模考」考試卷中的選文，話題具有新鮮感、歷史文化意識和國際意識，這些文本是絕佳的提升人文素養的材料。考生可以充分利用這些手邊的模考文章，一文多用，通過反覆閱讀語料，提高文本語言的輸入價值，提煉好詞佳句，學習文章架構，一些結構清晰的文章，甚至可以作為撰寫概要寫作的練筆材料，以讀促寫，培養語言表達能力。考生如果能深入領悟這些閱讀文本，感悟內涵，再輔以教師的適時點撥，定能體會閱讀的趣味。
只要考生在備考訓練中多注意聽說訓練，多閱讀、培養閱讀素養，夯實基礎，擴大詞彙，注意語境，自如運用平時各種題型的解題方法，就不會遭遇太大的困難。另外，考生也要培養自己的心理素質和隨機應變的能力，根據文章的難度和長度適當微調做題速度，心理上不緊張，就一定能在考場上發揮正常，考出好成績。
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
My head was so full of digital noise (1) _______ it felt like my brain was about to explode. I had no greater power of concentration than a goldfish and the lifeless stare of a goldfish as well. As a writer, I was ashamed to admit that my love of books had been weakened by a brain that simply could not sit still.
So, at the start of this year I committed to restoring books to the place that they held in my life before the Internet broke my brain.
My goal was 52 books: It seemed like an impossible task. A 400-page book will take the average person around eight hours to read. Finding the time to read was a challenge but here’s how I did it. Firstly, I decided to treat my mind like a child (2) _______ (behave) badly and lay down some ground rules. Then I decided that I (3) _______ (read) for an hour or two at a time (4) _______ distraction each day. It was something I hadn’t done in years and it was scary (5) _______ difficult it was.
In his book, The Distracted Mind, Larry Rosen says that the more we practice spending time away from our electronic devices, the calmer and（6）_______ (focus) we become.And this is what I found. Again and again, I would gently bring myself back to the page,（7）_______ (resist) the urge to reach for that screen. I took inspiration from Nikki Gemmell, who describes in On Quiet, how investing in a safe to lock away her family’s devices for long periods had opened up a space for deep reflection.
For me, finding that quiet time meant finding time in my day just to read. It was a date between me and my book. And it meant actively choosing to read at times (8) _______ I ordinarily would reach for my phone.
I read on the train, at the park, in red at night and on lunch breaks.
(9) _______ (renew) my love affair with books, I created a sacred space where I pressed pause and found inspiration, knowledge and reflection. In our modern world, reading for the sake of reading is not selfish. It is a powerful and beneficial way to slow down and be(10) _______.
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect a deep interest in romance among the artists. 1 , you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people seemed to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.
In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 2 to people’s lives. The 3 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.
Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 4 . They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that 5 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.
First Impression
To help determine the 6 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to 7 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.
As it turned out, their 8 judgments often held true. Students seemed to 9 at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.
The 10 Knows
Scientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones—natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling 11 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 12 as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.
Face Value
Being fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 13 . The participants had 0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we 14 attractiveness seems to be somewhat automatic.
When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to 15 words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.
