湖南省益阳市2019届高三上学期英语期末考试试卷(音频暂未更新)

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

    Do you know that some of the most interesting urban gardens are in unexpected places? They may be on top of public building, in the middle of a commercial district, or in the terminal of one of the world1s (busy) airports. You may have wandered on a sidewalk next to a “secret garden” realizing it was just around the comer or on the other side of a wall.

    If you don t know these attractive (nature) spaces exist, you might never experience them. At the same time, the fact that these places escape notice (make) them worth seeking out.

    St. Dunstan-in-the-East is a historic church in London, which has a history of hundreds of years. It survived the Great Fire of London in the 17th century, but it (hit) by a German bomb during World War II. St. Dunstan was rebuilt in the 1960s. Later, the city turned the grounds into a public garden.

    St. Dunstan is on a quiet street, but it's only a short walk from major (tour)attractions like the Tower of London. This peaceful park reportedly gets (relative)crowded at noon on sunny days during time office workers from the nearby buildings come to eat lunch. At most other times, however, it's a quiet place (get) away.

举一反三
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

    Today we talk about a word that is a feeling as well as a place. This word is “home.” Long ago in the 1700s, “home” was used as a verb,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (mean) “to be guided to a destination.” So, when you home in on something, you get {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(close) to your target. For example, you could say, “Police are homing in on the suspects.” That is also where we get homing pigeons-pigeons that can find {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (they) way home after being released.

    But today, “home” is more often used as a noun. And it has a very emotional {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(connect) for American English speakers. You can remember the meaning of the word by the expression “home is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the heart is.” That expression means home is anywhere you feel love and comfort. It is a place where you belong, and often a place you consider your origin. In other {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (word), “home” is not {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(simple) a building where you live—that's a house. There is a big difference {#blank#}8{#/blank#}a home and a house.

    The writer, Thomas Wolfe, had {#blank#}9{#/blank#} different idea about home. In 1940, his book “You Can't Go Home Again”{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (publish). Today we use this title to mean that the ideas and feelings that you had as a child often change when you are an adult. So, even if you return to the place where you grew up, time and distance have changed your perspective (观点).
