2019版高考英语一轮优化探究（话题部分）练习：话题15 选修8 Unit 4 Pygmalion(含解析)

Ⅰ.语法填空

When I was starting my own business，I always asked those successful businessmen either offline 1.or online about their experience.The best advice I ever got was similar to this statement：You are 2.responsible (respond) for your own experience.

Soon I realized that this is true for everything in life.

In my opinion，one of the mistakes that we make as 3.humans (human) is to look up to someone as our“role model”.4.Though/Although/While the concept of “role model” is good，what it can potentially lead to can be dangerous.We always try to convince 5.ourselves (we) that if we copy their success story then we will naturally end 6.up with the same success.This isn't true at all.It's their experience that made them what they are.You can't repeat that.Once I 7.opened (open) a firm to make electronic devices，and I regarded Bill Gates as my role model.I had thought that years later I would be as successful as him.But the result was just contrary to my 8.expectation(expect)，and I failed.As time went on，I realized that different persons have different strong points，abilities and capabilities.So stop 9.trying (try) to copy others' experiences，but build your own.Enjoy what life throws at you and make the 10.best (well) of it.

[参考范文]

Hello, everyone！I'd like to spend a few minutes in this class meeting introducing an English­English dictionary to you.

First and foremost, it has a large vocabulary, with more than 1,000 new words added, which is indeed a help to us. As the explanations of the words are of great accuracy, it will be easy for us to understand and we will have a better understanding of a certain word.

Moreover, the usages of the words are listed in detail, with many vivid examples. And I really appreciate these examples, for they can give me an authentic taste of this language. Still, the variety of the structures used in the example sentences benefits me greatly.

All in all, this dictionary really serves as a good tool for my English study. I strongly recommend you have one.

Thank you for listening.
