Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
A book review tells not only what a book is about, but also how successful it is at what it is trying to do. Professors often assign book reviews as practice in careful analytical reading.
As a reviewer, you bring together the two parts of accurate, analytical reading and strong, personal response when you indicate what the book is about and what it might mean to a reader. In other words, reviewers answer not only the WHAT but the SO WHAT question about a book. Thus, in writing a review, you combine the skills of describing what is on the page, analyzing how the book tried to achieve its purpose, and expressing your own reactions.
Most book reviews start with a heading that includes all the basic information about the book, like：
Title. Author.
Place of publication, publisher, date of publication. Number of pages.
The review usually begins with an introduction that lets your readers know what the review will say. The first paragraph usually includes the author and title again, so your readers don't have to look up to find this information. You should also include a very brief description of the contents of the book, the purpose or audience for the book, and your reaction and evaluation.
Then you move into a section of background information that helps place the book in context and discusses how to judge the book. Next, you should give a summary of the main points, quoting and explaining key phrases from the author. Finally, you get to the heart of your review—your evaluation of the book. In this section, you might discuss some of the following issues：
•How well the book has achieved its goal.
高中英语专题
•What possibilities are suggested by the book. •What the book has left out.
•How the book compares with others on the subject. •What personal experiences you've had related to the subject.
It is important to use labels to carefully distinguish your views from the author's, so that you don't confuse your readers.
Then, like other essays, you can end with a direct comment on the book, and tie together issues raised in the review in a conclusion.
There is, of course, no set form, but a general rule is that the first one－half to two－thirds of the review should summarize the author's main ideas and at least one－third should evaluate the book.

B
The world moves so quickly nowadays. With so many daily responsibilities, some of us can hardly keep our heads above water. Should we make time for studying or appreciating the arts? Many people would say the arts are nice, but not necessary. In school, students should focus on languages, math and science. Painting, drama and music are frills. After graduation, listening to Mozart won't lead you to a better－paying job.
In truth, spending time learning to appreciate the arts may be more worthwhile than you think. A recent British study examined the salaries and jobs of people who spent time enjoying the arts when growing up. The researchers found those who enjoyed the arts from an early age had better jobs and higher salaries than those who didn't.
What's the link? How could visiting a museum, enjoying a symphony, or honing painting skills lead to career success? It turns out that the arts help us develop many useful skills.
Other studies have found students studying the arts exercise their reasoning ability. This skill helps with problem－solving. Creative and critical－thinking abilities are also developed through art study. Moreover,
高中英语专题
those who enjoy the arts have more motivation to achieve. Students who practice an art experience the rewards that come from persistence and goal－setting. These benefits also extend to those who make time to appreciate the arts beyond their school years. The best kind of art stirs our imagination and makes us think. Paintings aren't just pretty pictures. They tell stories about the lives of the subjects or about the experience of the painter. See Michelangelo's art, and you'll taste the power of his faith. Look at the world from Picasso's point of view, and you see everyday life in new ways. Those who appreciate the arts also gain a broader perspective on the world. The arts reveal and explain the world beyond our own personal knowledge which can help us better communicate and cooperate with other people.
If you want to better yourself, go and enjoy the arts. Check out an art gallery or a museum. Take in a play. You won't regret it and it will do you more good than you can imagine.
篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。人们普遍认为学校教育应重文化成绩而轻艺术，然而本文通过列举事实证据论证了艺术能带给我们诸多好处，且对我们将来事业的成功产生积极的影响。

高中英语专题

7．How is the passage developed? A．By providing examples. B．By analyzing causes. C．By listing the facts. D．By comparing the facts.

Ⅲ.短文改错
I have met many teachers since I begin my schooling. Of all my teachers, Mrs Green is the one who impresses me most. Though she is 50, she looks very young at her age. Comparing with other teachers, Mrs Green pays more attention to her way of teaching. She tries various ways to make her class lively and interestingly. In her opinion, we will not only know “what” but also understand “why”. So instead of giving us answer immediately, she encourages us to think carefully every time when she puts forward questions. With her help, we have learned how to analyze and settled problems. What the amazing world of “why” she leads us! She is such a learned person that we

1．begin→began 考查动词时态。since意为“自从”时，引导时间状语从句，主句经常用现在完成时，从句用一般过去时。
2．at→for 考查介词。根据语境可知，此处表示“对于”的含义，而不表示具体的年龄，故用介词for。
3．Comparing→Compared 考查非谓语动词。compare和句子谓语pays之间没有连词，且和句子主语Mrs Green构成逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作状语。
4．interestingly→interesting
考查形容词。此处应用形容词
interesting作宾语补足语，和形容词lively构成并列，形成呼应。
5．answer→answers 考查名词复数。answer是可数名词，其前没有冠词修饰，故用复数形式。

6．去掉when 考查状语从句。every time在此引导时间状语从句，意为“每一次”，故去掉when。
7．settled→settle 考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知，此处to analyze为不定式，且settle和analyze形成并列结构，与疑问词how连用，在句中充当宾语，故用settle。
8．the→an 考查冠词。world在本句中表示某人描述的地方、情景，通常用单数，且amazing的读音以元音音素开头，故用an。
9．us后加to 考查介词。lead sb. to someplace为固定搭配，此处表示她引导我们去一个精彩的“why”的世界。
10．him→her 考查代词。与句子主语She呼应，故用代词her作谓语动词admire的宾语。
