me deeply.Right as I walk out into the main hall on way to my next connection,I saw a woman put something next to a sleeping homeless man.I felt curiously and I wondered if she had put some cashes there.Instead,I saw a sandwich.It made this moment so touching to me was that it was not about recognition,but to help a person with need and make his life just a bit more bearable.This made me realized it really is the smallest thing which can make a difference.I’m luck to get to see such little acts of kindness.限时规范练20(模块四Unit1B)一、【篇章导读】本文是应用文。

限时规范练37(模块七Unit3)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、了解世界节日的思维意识一、阅读理解AFebruary was a hard month for Internet-connected toys.First,Germany stopped the sale of My Friend Cayla.The German government believed that hackers (电脑黑客) could use the talking toy to get information on kids.Then puter users learned that CloudPets,made by Spiral Toys,had a problem.The toy’s Internet connection allows users to send and receive voice puter experts discovered that CloudPets’ database was not safe.The private information of more than 820,000 users was at risk of being stolen.Computer hackers didn’t only hit toys.Many big companies in the U.S.have also been hacked.The hits showed emails,card numbers,fingerprints,and other private information.Experts are looking for ways to fight hackers.Kids are joining the fight and getting ready to lead.The organizers of CyberPatriot see the advantages of getting an early start in cybersecurity (网络安全).In 2016,69,000 students took part in the cyber-education program.Its goal is to encourage kids to make achievements in cybersecurity and in STEM fields,including science and technology.CyberPatriot’s central project is the yearly National Youth Cyber Defense Competition.Winners receive some money to help pay for their education.The competition takes place over severalmonths.Student teams manage the computer network at a fictional company.They must find and fix its security problems.From April 3 to 5,the nation’s top teams competed in the finals,in Baltimore,Maryland.Team Error 37,from Summit Lakes Middle School,in Lee’s Summit,Missouri,won the middle school group.“There will be a lot of jobs that require cybersecurity knowledge,” said team member Keenan Curp,13.Arjun Pratap Ghoshal,13,also competed in Baltimore.He was the leader of a team from Oak Valley Middle School,in San Diego,California.“We have to teach kids around us about cybersecurity,” he says,“so that we can prevent harmful hacking.”1.Why was February hard for My Friend Cayla?A.It was less popular among kids.B.It was taken off the market.C.It couldn’t provide information for kids.D.It couldn’t be connected to the Internet.2.What was the problem with CloudPets?A.Their database was in danger.B.Their information was missing.C.Their Internet connection didn’t work.D.Their users couldn’t send voice messages.3.What’s the purpose of CyberPatriot?A.To get kids to work with scientists.B.To teach kids how to fix computers.C.To keep kids away from computers.D.To educate kids about cybersecurity.BThe mind of an elephant should not be underestimated.They are intelligent animals born with both excellent memory and artistic talent.Elephants eat about 495 pounds of vegetarian food a day.They spend about 16 hours a day eating,but must walk about 4 miles a day in search of food.The average elephant lives about 70 years,and its sharp memory allows it to remember places where it has found food as long as 30 years earlier,even as a baby.In an elephant’s travels,it comes across other elephants also looking for food.Some elephants are friendly,and some are not so nice.Elephants remember every elephant they have ever met.They can even recognize an elephant they perhaps haven’t seen for 30 years.They immediately remember whether this elephant is an enemy or a friend.When elephants are not searching for food,they sometimes produce art in the sand with their trunks (象鼻).They seem to enjoy just relaxing and painting in the sand.One day,an elephant zoo-keeper noticed this and gave an elephant a paint brush filled with red paint to see if the elephant would paint on a canvas (画布).Sure enough,it did,and since then elephants in most zoos have been given paint brushes,paints,and canvases.The resulting abstract art has been sold for high prices around the world.The money goes to support feeding the elephants in the zoos.Most felt that the elephants were only capable of painting abstracts.However,they have been trained to paint trees,flowers,and other things in nature.This has enabled us to understand “elephant genius” even more.4.What does the underlined word “underestimated” mean?A.Mistaken.B.Controlled.C.Undervalued.D.Underdeveloped.5.What can we learn about elephants’ memory?A.It remains excellent for 70 years.B.It differs greatly among elephants.C.It is at its best in the first 30 years.D.It can reach as far back as 30 years.6.Why did the zoo-keeper give the elephant a brush?A.To attract visitors to it.B.To train it to paint pictures.C.To prove it was a born artist.D.To find out whether it could draw.7.Which can best describe elephants according to the text?A.Really brave.B.Highly smart.C.Unusually quiet.D.Extremely friendly.二、七选五In this fast-paced life,it’s hard to find the time to cook.But cooking for other people can be fun and beneficial because it comes with some positive psychological benefits.1.Performing an act for another human being,like cooking for them,is a form of selflessness.And it can make people feel happy and connected to others.Cooking is a form of nurturing(养育).When it comes to cooking,you are feeding someone,which is necessary for survival.Cooking for others is nurturing.2.Cooking can create bonds.If you’re cooking for someone,even if they’re not present during the act,it can absolutely bring a sense of closeness in that you’re expressing your love and care for someone.3.And cooking for others helps us build and strengthen those connections.4.Not only does cooking for yourself help you eat more healthfully,but it also sends yourself a message that you are important.Cooking can also help raise your confidence.Cooking is a practice of mindfulness.Cooking can encourage us to really focus.5:walk away for a minute and you can burn the onions;check in with your phone and your water can overflow.Cooking brings us together,and it continues to create communities — and with community comes feelings of connection and happiness.Now all you have to do is find the time to add cooking into your busy life.A.Making connections is one of human’s basic needsB.If you lose your focus things can easily go wrongC.It can provide a means for social acceptanceD.Cooking can strengthen your knowledgeE.Cooking for others is a selfless actF.It is helping to keep them aliveG.Cooking is a form of self-care三、语法填空A bone thought to belong 1. St.Nicholas,the fourth-century saint (圣徒) on whom the legend of Father Christmas is based,has been dated by Oxford University.Scientists used a radio carbon test to date the relic,and 2. (find) it dates from the time of the saint,who is believed to have died around 343 AD.While the 3. (result) of the tests do not provide proof that the bone is his,it does tie the relic to the same era.According to the Oxford team,this is the first test 4. (do) on the bones.“Many relics that we study turn out to date to a period rather 5. (late) than the historic statements would suggest,” said Professor Tom Higham,director of the Oxford Relics Cluster at Keble College’s Advanced Studies Centre.“This bone,in contrast,suggests that we could 6. (possible) be looking at remains from St.Nicholas himself.”Dr Georges Kazan,another director of the Oxford Relics Cluster,said,“These findings encourage us 7. (attempt) to show that the bone remains are from the same individual.”“It is 8. (excite) to think that these relics,9. date from such an ancient time,could be genuine.”St.Nicholas is thought to have lived in Myra (modern-day Turkey).He is one of 10.most respected of the saints,and was famed for his generosity.限时规范练37(模块七Unit3)一、【篇章导读】本文是新闻报道。

限时规范练6(模块一Unit3B)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、关注饮食健康的素养能力意识一、阅读理解AMany people believe eating healthily is expensive — and more costly than buying junk foods.But our new research,published in the BMC Public Health,shows this isn’t the truth.Most of the Australian family food budget is being spent on junk foods and drinks that are high in fat,sugar and salt.Less than 7% of Australians eat healthily.The Australian adults get at least 35% of their energy from junk foods and drinks.As a result,two-thirds of adults (63%) and one-quarter of children are overweight.We used the Australian Health Survey 2011-2013 and the suggestions of the Australian Dietary Guidelines to model healthy diets for a family of two adults and two children every two weeks.We collected food prices in supermarkets and stores in high- and low-socioeconomic (社会经济地位低的) areas in Brisbane,and compared the diet prices with family incomes.In both areas,a family of two adults and two children spend about 18% more on present diets than would be required to buy healthy diets.About 58% of the food budget for present diets is spent on junk foods,including takeaway foods (14%),and sugary drinks (4%).In the low-socioeconomic area,a family of two adults and two children spend $640.20 every two weeks on their present diets,but could buy a healthy diet for $560.93 every two weeks.In the high-socioeconomic area,these numbers are $661.92 and $580.01.Supermarket food prices were about 3% higher in the high-socioeconomic location.Takeaway foods were also relatively more expensive,but sugary drinks were priced similarly in both areas.Present diets cost more than healthy diets,so causes other than price must be helping to drive preferences for unhealthy choices.1.What did the researchers find?A.Australians have a preference for sweet foods.B.Most Australian kids have fat problems.C.Half Australians live on junk foods.D.Most Australians eat unhealthily.2.How did the researchers get the result?A.By making a comparison.B.By doing the study online.C.By carrying out interviews.D.By asking personal questions.3.What can we learn from Paragraph 5?A.Australian foods are healthier.B.A healthy diet is actually cheaper.C.Health foods are becoming more expensive.D.People choose junk foods for their low prices.4.What might a following paragraph be about?A.The harm of junk foods.B.How we can eat healthily.C.Why people choose junk foods.D.The advantages of a healthy diet.BNew Zealand has a pest problem.The country has a plan to solve it.The country’s leaders want to kill rats and other predatory mammals (肉食性哺乳动物) by 2050.In New Zealand,rats are an invasive species.Long ago,rats came to the country on boats,with humans,in the 13th century.When they were introduced to the island’s environment,the rats ate—and,scientists believe,finally killed off—several bird species.Humans also brought other mammals,like stoats and possums.Stoats—which are similar to weasels—were introduced to eat another invasive mammal population:rabbits.Instead,the stoats fed on native species.Possums were brought to New Zealand for their fur.But their population also grew quickly out of control.Possums feed on the eggs and young of native birds.They also cause damage to forests.One of the reasons invasive mammal populations grew so quickly is that New Zealand is home to almost no native mammals.Most of its native species are birds.Many of these birds,including thekiwi,cannot fly.That is a big problem for the birds.They cannot fly to safety.As a result,several of New Zealand’s birds are close to dying out.Killing predatory mammals is not new for New Zealand.The country has killed off rats on some of its smaller islands.In those places,bird species that were in danger of dying out have begun to flourish.New Zealand hopes to improve upon the methods used in those small areas.The government plans to spend more than $20 million on the project.The money will pay for research,technology,and tools to kill off the animals.It is a big goal.But scientists say it can be met.“I really do think it’s possible,” says James Russell,a scientist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.“It will require people working in every corner of the country.”5.What is the purpose of New Zealand’s plan?A.To save native birds.B.To drive mammals away.C.To do research on pests.D.To control rabbit population.6.Why were possums introduced to New Zealand?A.To kill rabbits.B.To make money.C.To protect forests.D.To catch weasels.7.What does the underlined word “flourish” in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Increase.B.Appear.C.Change.D.Drop.8.What is Russell’s attitude towards this plan?A.He is against it.B.He is confident of it.C.He has doubts about it.D.He shows no interest in it.二、完形填空I took

限时规范练21(模块四Unit2A)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、热爱体育锻炼的思维意识一、阅读理解AAmerican runner Meb Keflezighi thought that he had retired.But he had one more task.At the age of 42,he ran the 2018 Boston Marathon to raise money for the Martin Richard Foundation (MRF).The organization,created by Martin’s parents,honors the memory of the eight-year-old boy who was killed in the terrorist attack at the 2013 Boston Marathon.Born in Eritrea,a country in the Horn of Africa,Keflezighi has had to deal with many difficulties from the time he was growing up.“No running water,no electricity,” he said.“You had to go two or three milesto get wood so that you could have fire to cook.”For Keflezighi,running has always been a way of life.“It’s what I love to do,and it’s who I am,” he said.Keflezighi won the 2014 Boston Marathon and the 2009 New York City Marathon,and got a silver medal at the 2004 Summer Games in Athens,Greece.Keflezighi retired from competition after the 2016 New York City Marathon.But he decided to run one last race.“I’m happy with my achievements,” he said.“Now,I’ll help others reach their goals.”On the morning of April 16,Keflezighi set out from the starting line with more than 27,000 other marathoners.They raced through Boston’s hilly streets,heavy winds and cold rain.Those were “the most difficult conditions I’ve ever run in,” Keflezighi said after the race.Keflezighi finished in 3 hours and 13 seconds,nearly an hour slower than his winning time at the 2014 Boston Marathon.But this year,Keflezighi was running not for the prize,but for a cause.“Marathon Meb”,as he is called,is still spurring on others.He said.“We all have difficult situations,but as long as we can overcome those,there’s the finish line waiting for us.”1.Why did Keflezighi run another race after he had decided to retire?A.To raise money for an organization.B.To express thankfulness to Martin’s parents.C.To try running in the most difficult conditions.D.To encourage people to face difficulties bravely.2.How was Meb Keflezighi’s life like as a child?A.Hard.B.Lonely.C.Exciting.D.Peaceful.3.What can we learn about the 2018 Boston Marathon?A.It was supported by MRF.B.It was held in very bad weather.C.Keflezighi broke his own record at this race.D.Keflezighi decided to run another race after this one.BYou may not know the name Charles O’Rear,but if you’ve used a computer in the past ten years,you’re familiar with his photo.O’Rear is the man behind the picture of a green hill and bright blue sky that served as the background for Microsoft’s Windows XP operating system.In the 1990s,because of the spread of a pest,endless rows of grapevines in Napa Valley disappeared.Instead,the ground was covered with thickly-growing grass.It was this picture of Sonoma County that passed by Charles O’Rear’s car window as he drove down Highway 121 in 1998.Although he was a photographer,O’Rear wasn’t doing his job that Friday afternoon.Instead,he was headed to visit his then-girlfriend (now-wife) near San Francisco.But he still had one eye on the green hills.And then,he saw it.“Wow!” he thought.“The grass is perfect! It’s green! The sun is out;there are some clouds.”So he stopped his car,pulled out his camera,and took a few photos.Those perfect greens and pure blues were totally unedited when O’Rear posted them on Corbis,a site created by Bill Gates.A few yearslater,O’Rear got a call from Microsoft asking to use his photo of Sonoma County as the background for its newest operating system.The company never told O’Rear exactly why they chose his photograph.“Were they looking for a picture that was peaceful?” he wondered.But artists Goldin and Senneby,who spent months researching the photograph,said that Microsoft “wanted a picture with ‘more grounding’ than the pictures of skies they had used in Windows 95.”O’Rear agreed to sell Microsoft all the rights to his photograph.But Microsoft had valued the photo so highly that none of the shipping companies could cover the insurance.In the end,O’Rear boarded a plane to deliver the photo himself.Microsoft named it “Bliss”,and,since Windows XP met the public in 2001,it’s been seen by at leasta billion people.4.O’Rear took “Bliss”.A.on a business trip to San FranciscoB.on a trip to visit his then-girlfriendC.when he was on holiday with his wifeD.when he was looking for beautiful hills5.According to Goldin and Senneby,why did Microsoft choose O’Rear’s photo?A.The picture was peaceful.B.The picture was of high value.C.There was more grounding in this picture.D.The green grass fit perfectly with the blue sky.6.How was the photo sent to Microsoft?A.O’Rear carried it all the way there.B.It was sent by an insurance company.C.It was delivered by a shipping company.D.Microsoft sent a plane to get it from O’Rear’s home.7.What can we learn about “Bliss” from the text?A.It has been used for about 30 years.B.It was edited before being sent to Microsoft.C.The green ground in it used to be covered with grapevines.D.More and more people choose it as their desktop backgrounds.二、七选五A ray of sunlight makes its way through the leaves and lights up a new day for all kinds of animals.The rainforest is waking up.Racing for LightRainforests are plentiful,warm,and wet habitats.1,because they have to compete with other plants for sunlight.2.The emergent layer (露生层) is made up of the very tallest trees.In the next layer,the canopy (冠层),the leaves of the trees all touch one another.Most animals in the rainforest live in the canopy.The layer below the canopy is called the understory.Small trees and plants that do not need much light grow here.The last layer is the forest floor where only a few plants grow because it’s so dark.Famous RainforestsThere are rainforests in Africa,Asia,Australia,and Central and South America.3.More than half of it is in Brazil,but parts are in several other South American countries.The next biggest rainforest is in Congo.Water CycleTrees and other plants let water out into the atmosphere — then the water falls back to earth as rain.Rainforest trees can give out a lot of water,up to 200 gallons each year.4,so it is always warm and wet.Rainforests help to stabilize the climate of the world.5.That’s good because too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can make the planet too warm.A.The rainforest has four layersB.Trees in the rainforest grow very tallC.Rainforests can be considered destroyedD.The biggest rainforest is the Amazon rainforestE.The tallest trees block the light from the trees belowF.They not only make rain but also take in carbon dioxideG.The water forms a thick cloud-cover over the rainforest三、语法填空Food,water,and shelter 1.

Small talk. Chitchat. These are the short conversations we have at parties, while we wait in line at the store, at family events or work. Sometimes we make small talkwith people we already know but not well. Often we have to make small talk with complete strangers. Many people find such small talk about random topics difficult. Somepeople say they hate it. Others say small talk is a waste of time. They may even call itidle chitchat or idle chatter, meaning it doesn ’ t do anything. They consider smalltalk not important. However, small talk is important.Small talk can open doors that may lead to larger, more meaningful conversations. Whenyou first meet someone or talk to someone you don’ t know well, it would be awkward to begin a conversation about a really deep topic such as war, politics or the meaning of life.Small talk also gives you the chance to decide if you want to get know that person better or not. Let ’ s say you make small talk with someone at a party. But they onlywant to talk about cats. You may not want to build a friendship with them unless youreally, really love cats.Small talk can also increase your feeling of understanding, or empathy, towardpeople you know but not well. Chatting with a colleague about their child may helpyou to understand more of their life outside the office. This could help build healthy work relationships.Small talk could even help your larger communities—your relationships with neighbors.

限时规范练40(模块八Unit2)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与自我、国家国际的素养能力意识一、阅读理解AGrowing up in my household meant often hearing live music.When I was six years old,I took a traditional Irish step dance class.I fell in love and stuck with it for the next seven years.During that time my father also became more involved in the Irish music world,so he would play,and I would dance.My ethnic heritage (族裔归属) is German and Irish,but because I was surrounded by traditional Irish music and dance in my home,I have grown to be more interested in and connected to my Irish heritage.When I started interning (实习) for the Folklife Festival,I became interested in traditional Basque music and dance and I learned that their experience with dance is very similar to my own.There are so far over 170 Basque organizations in 24 countries,with a greater population of Basques outside of the Basque country than in it.The separation they experience from their homeland is both physical and psychological,so being part of a group with the same interests is an important social support system.These organizations contribute to the continuation of Basque culture,language,and community,and encourage future generations to learn about their ethnic heritage.One of the ways through which they achieve this is dance.While learning and performing Basque dances,they connect to their heritage,experience a part of their homeland,preserve Basque culture,and create connections and friendships that last a lifetime.Californian Valerie Arrechea began teaching alongside her father at the age of thirteen and on her own at sixteen.For her,dance is her preferred expression of heritage;it provides a way to be proud of her Basque heritage.The dance performances of North American Basque organizations have developed the interest of non-Basque Americans as well.Janet Iribarne from the Basque Dancers explained that their organization is open to anyone,and after seeing her group perform,several of her non-Basque friends have developed their own love of Basque traditions as well.1.What is the reason for the author’s preference for Irish dance?A.Her dance teacher.B.Her love of Irish music.C.Her interning experience.D.Her family’s strong root in dance.2.What do we know about Basque people?A.Most of them live abroad.B.Their culture is being lost.C.They live in poor conditions.D.Their population is increasing.3.What is the purpose of Basque organizations?A.To help Basques in need.B.To preserve Basque culture.C.To provide medical treatment for Basques.D.To support overseas Basque children for education.4.What’s non-Basque Americans’ attitude towards Basque dance?A.They show no interest in it.B.They find it difficult to learn.C.They are enthusiastic about it.D.They are concerned about its future.BClimate change,not human hunting,may have wiped out the thylacine (袋狼),according to a new study based on DNA from thylacine bones.The meat-eating marsupials (有袋动物) died out on mainland Australia a few thousand years ago,but survived in Tasmania,an island of southeast Australia separated from the mainland,until the 1930s.Until now,scientists had believed the cause of this mainland extinction was increased activity from native Australians and dingoes (Australian wild dogs).Scientists behind the University of Adelaide study,which was published in the Journal of Biogeography on Thursday,collected 51 new thylacine DNA samples from fossil bones and museum skins — the largest data set of thylacine DNA to date.The paper concluded that climate change starting about 4,000 years ago — in particular drier seasons caused by the weather systems known as El Nino-Southern Oscillation — was likely the main cause of the mainland extinction.The ancient DNA showed that the mainland extinction of thylacines was rapid,and not the result of loss of genetic diversity.There was also evidence of a population crash in thylacines in Tasmania at the same period of time,reducing their numbers and genetic diversity.Associate Professor Jeremy Austin,deputy director of the University’s Australian Centre for Ancient DNA,said Tasmania would have been protected from mainland Australia’s warmer,drier climate due to its higher rainfall.He argued that climate change was “the only thing that could have caused,or at least started,an extinction on the mainland and caused a population crash in Tasmania.”“They both occurred at about the same time,and the other two things that have been talked about in the past that may have driven thylacines to extinction on the mainland were dingoes and humans.So the only explanation that’s left is climate change.And because that population crash happened at the same time that the species went extinct on the mainland,our argument is there’s a common theme there and the only common theme that’s there is this change in climate.”5.What happened to thylacines in the 1930s?A.They died out on mainland Australia.B.They were hunted in large numbers.C.They survived in Tasmania.D.They were no longer seen.6.What did scientists believe before the University of Adelaide study?A.Marsupials were all meat-eating animals.B.Dingoes should be removed from Australia.C.Thylacines had no enemies on mainland Australia.D.Native people were responsible for the extinction of thylacines.7.What’s the difference between mainland Australia and Tasmania?A.Tasmania has more dingoes.B.Tasmania has more wet days.C.Tasmania has a higher temperature.D.Tasmania has more native Australians.8.What’s the best title for the text?A.DNA is playing an important roleB.Climate change led to thylacines’ disappearanceC.Australian animals are facing a population crashD.Native Australians and dingoes were misunderstood二、完形填空I was fifteen and a high
