牛津译林版高中英语选修8译林湖南版高考一轮复习提能训练Module 8 Units 1～2The universal language含解析
【译林湖南版】2011高考英语一轮复习提能训练Module 8Units 1～2Ⅰ.填词AIDS(Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome)is a medical condition caused by HIV(Human Immunedeficiency Virus)，a virus which damages people’s natural defenses against disease.So far，no cure has been found for it.In the early mid-1980s，while other parts of the world were beginning to deal with the serious disease，Asia remained relatively unaffected by this newly-discovered health problem.By the early 1990s，however，HIV and AIDS had hit several Asian countries，and by the end of that decade，HIV was spreading rapidly in many areas of the continent.Today，HIV and AIDS are a growing problem in every region of Asia.The latest statistics produced by UNAIDS suggest that in 2008，over 5 million people were living with HIV or AIDS in Asia.Various factors cause the spread of HIV，including poverty，inequality，unequal status of women，cultural myths about sex and high levels of migration(移民)．Although it’s useful to understand the situation of AIDS in Asia as a whole，each country in the region faces a different situation.In Cambodia and Thailand，there has been evidence of declines in HIV infection levels.In Indonesia，Pakistan and Vietnam，meanwhile，the number of people living with HIV has rapidly increased.In China，the number of people newly infected with HIV and AIDS is also rising，although at a much slower pace.Much improvement is needed to prevent HIV and AIDS around Asia.New guidelines and policy documents have been continually issued over the years.Most of the successful programs do have at least three features in common.Firstly，these programs encourage HIV and AIDS education among the general population to teach people how to avoid infection and to face discrimination.Secondly，they are very practical and they involve the infected people themselves in program design and implementation(实施)．Last but not least，strong leadership is essential for HIV prevention.If all of the leaders truly committed themselves to this cause，then a great many lives would be saved.Ⅱ.简答题The age-old problem of why many women live longer than men has been solved.It’s their pumping power，British researchers have found.On average，women live five years longer than men and women over the age of 60 are now the fastest-growing section of the British population.The average male heart becomes weaker with age，and by the age of 70 its power to pump blood around the body could have decreased by up to a quarter of its youthful strength.David Goldspink，a professor of Cell and Molecular Sports Science at Liverpool John Moores University，said yesterday that women’s longevity is linked to the strength of their hearts.Unlike men，they pump just as strongly at 70 as they do at 20.“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20～25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age，”Professor Goldspink said.“However，over the same period there was no age-related decline in the power of the female heart，meaning that the heart of a healthy 70-year-old woman could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old’s.”The big difference between the sexes might explain why women live longer.The good news is that men of any age can improve the health of their heart simply by taking more regular exercise.The results are based on the findings of a two-year study of a cross-section of the British population，which examined the effects of ageing on the cardiovascular system(心血管系统)．Professor Goldspink and a team of scientists at the university’s Research Unit for Human Development and Ageing examined more than 250 men and women between the age 18 and 80.None of the volunteers had a habit of weekly exercise and all were considered to have low fitness levels，but were otherwise healthy.Each volunteer underwent five hours of tests to measure their blood pressure and the performance of their hearts while at rest and while they exercised on a treadmill(跑步机)．The researchers found that the large arteries(大动脉)in the body became stiffer and less elastic(富有弹性的)with age，causing increased blood pressure.Blood flow to the muscles and skin of the limbs was also found to decrease.These changes were found to occur earlier in men，but women caught up much later.1．Why do women live longer than men？(no more than 5 words)________________________________________________________________________ 2．According to David，between the age 18 and 70，as women get older，how does the power of their hearts change？(no more than 5 words)________________________________________________________________________ 3．How can men improve their heart system？(no more than 5 words)________________________________________________________________________ 4．What was the purpose of the study of a cross-section of the British population？(no more than 10 words)________________________________________________________________________ Ⅲ.阅读理解A year ago August，Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan.His wife，Gerrie，was still working in the local school cafeteria，but work for Dave was scarce，and the price of everything was rising.The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years.Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—$7,000，a legacy(遗产)from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch，who died in an accident.“It really made a difference when we were going under financially，” says Dave.But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches.Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches’ generosity.In some cases，it was a few thousand dollars；in others，it was more than $100,000.It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money，more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.Children of the Great Depression，Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving.They thrived on(喜欢)comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store，checking prices before making a new purchase.Through the years，the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn’t afford it.“Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything，” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden，“They could see things they could do to make you happier，and they would do them.”Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed.It was the Hatches’wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents—should enrich the whole community(社区)and last for generations to come.Neighbors helping neighbors—that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.(2009·山东，A) 1．According to the text，the Fusses ________.A．were employed by a truck companyB．were in financial difficultyC．worked in a school cafeteriaD．lost their home2．Which of the following is true of the Hatches?A．They had their children during the Great Depression.B．They left the family farm to live in an old house.C．They gave away their possessions to their neighbors.D．They helped their neighbors to find jobs.3．Why would the Hatches routinely go from store to store?A．They decided to open a store.B．They wanted to save money.C．They couldn’t afford expensive things.D．They wanted to buy gifts for local kids.4．According to Sandy Van Weelden，the Hatches were ________.A．understanding B．optimisticC．childlike D．curious5．What can we learn from the text?A．The community of Alto was poor.B．The summer camp was attractive to the parents.C．Sandy Van Weelden got a legacy from the Hatches.D．The Hatches would like the neighbors to follow their example.Module 8Units 1～2Ⅰ.1．cause 2.damaging 3.relatively unaffected 4.hit 5.present 6.living with7.different 8.three features9.Encouraging10.involvedⅡ.1．Because of the pumping power.2．It remains almost unchanged/the same.3．By taking more regular exercise.4．To examine the effects of ageing on the cardiovascular system.Ⅲ.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了一对关心邻里、无私奉献的夫妻。

高中英语学习材料***鼎尚图文理制作***Test 1AHomework is an important part of education.However，what is it about homework？What makes it important?First，homework helps students learn.Homework produces higher learning ability by asking the student to read the same text many times.Most of the time，homework will ask students to read other books.So children have to read and understand it by themselves.Sometimes，parents must help children with this type of learning.Children hope to use what they have read to solve questions and problems in the homework.Good use of homework makes children know that learning can happen with or without a teacher.As homework is finished，students learn to work out their own problems.Most students need a little help now and then，but doing homework is a way that children can learn to take care of themselves.If the student can do his or her own work，it is likely that the ability he gets will be good for their future life.Most homework gives room for additional(额外的) learning.Short answers，long answers and papers provide a way for students to learn things that interest them.Science can give the student a chance to go deeper into a field and have a better understanding.These things are almost impossible within the classroom education.If the project is done by a group，the students will also learn cooperation(合作).Good study skills students get from homework and test preparation can be used easily in most work places.Title：Importance of 1.________Benefits Ways2.______________________ Make students repeat3.______________DevelopthinkingabilityMake students read 4.________________ Help students to work out5.____________________Be good for their 6.________________LearnmoreGive room for 7.________________Provide a way for students to learn8.________ thingsHelp go deeper into a field and understandbetterHelp learn 9.________ by working with agroupGet studyskillsUse the skills in their 10.____________when they left schoolsBTeenagers who spend hours in front of the television may have a poorer diet，a new study shows.It is not clear，researchers say，whether television itself is the reason，but it is possible that things like snacking in front of the TV or seeing ads for junk food influence young people’s diets.The study included nearly 1,400 high school students.It showed that those who watched TV for five hours or more every day had less healthy diets than other students five years later.As a group，they ate fewer fruits and vegetables，but ate more fast food，snack products and fried foods.“We’re not able to tell why，” lead researcher Dr.Daheia J.Barr-Anderson said.“But we have some speculation(推测).”People who spend a lot of time in front of the TV，especially teenagers，may have more snacks.It may influence their long-term diet quality.It’s also possible that TV ads for fast food，sweets and snacks make teenagers eat more of those time might also replace exercise time for some kids.The researchers found a clear relationship between TV time during high school and diet quality of the young.The heaviest TV viewers ate the most junk food five years later，and those who’d watched fewer than two hours every day had the most fruits and vegetables.According to Barr-Anderson，the findings support experts’ advice that children shouldwatch no more than two hours of television every day.“Parents should cut the TV time.”Barr-Anderson said.She advised that parents set a good example by eating right，being physically active and controlling their own TV time.1.Is it clear that television is the reason for young people’s poor diet？(No more than 3words)_______________________________________________________________________2.What kind of TV ads will makes teenagers eat more unhealthy food？(No more than10 words)_______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________3.According to Barr-Anderson，what should parents do to set a good example for theirchildren？(No more than 15 words)______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________4.What is the passage mainly about？(No more than 10 words)_______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________Test 2AWhile there is no widely accepted definition of MOOCs，their key features are open access：they are currently free to participants，no entry qualifications are required，they support an unlimited number of participants and as yet，very few include any form of accreditation (认证).Currently offered by some famous universities，MOOCs are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education，or who do not have formal qualifications.They also allow participants to study at their own pace.The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vast—they could be considered as a huge step forwards in widening participation.They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses，they may attract some participants to register for formal fee-paying programmes at the same or other universities and are likely to promote new ways of on-line education.However，it is still very early days for MOOCs.The quality of the education provision is highly variable，with many courses offering only recordings of lectures，and delivery isparticularly difficult in some special fields that require practical classes，research projects or extensive library access.Besides，wider engagement with participants requires very considerable resource.Even limited feedback or examination becomes a major task if there are several thousand students in the class.Considering the challenges，some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate(蒸发).But they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education，are a means of raising awareness of universities to audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands，and are well worthy of serious consideration.(2013·湖南)Title：1. 5.错误!错误!•being attractive to people▲who 3.____________ university education

it’s much more than that.It’s also good for them.Studies show that from birth babies begin learning through play.They use their five senses to get to know their new world.Touching allows them to discover how different things feel.Brightly colored toys and clothing help develop a baby’s sense of sight.When small children choose which toy to play with，they begin developing their abilities in making decisions.Children love toys that allow them to use their imagination.Sometimes an empty box is more fun than a high-tech toy.That’s because a box can become anything a child imagines it to be.Crayons，paints and Play-Doh(彩色塑泥) are also good because they allow children to create.Traditionalbuilding blocks teach important pre-math skills like problem-solving.Playing doesn’t become any less

major according to your own interests is the best way to succeed.Ⅱ.阅读理解The new studies show that fewer than half of the 9th graders in many of the nation’s largest cities，ever graduate.The studies clearly show that the dropout rate isn’t dropping.And，in particular，the dropout rate isn’t dropping for poor and minority students.Amazingly，though so many people regret the rising dropout rate，our schools continue to lack formal plans—or any plans—about students’motivation.Most schools have no game plans to ensure that students understand that school will be completely necessary.Schools expect the children to act as the school is important，but they never teach them to believe that.Years ago，families ensured that the offspring recognized the value of school.But in many modern families，the children may fail to recognize the importance of school life just because these families may actually tell the children that school is not important.Since many families are not motivating their children to be interested students，young professionals，like teachers，may need to provide this training.Otherwise，it is likely that the dropout rate will continue to not drop，but only worsen.Here are some strategies to convince even the most apathetic(无动于衷的)students that they must stay in school.Ask students if they will ever need to work：The world has changed.100 years ago，factory work was the booming job，and it required no education.Today，factories are increasingly automated.Most computer-related jobs require education and at least a high school diploma.Ask students which century they will be prepared for：In 1900，the most common jobs were farm laborer and domestic servant—education not needed.Now，the most common jobs are office and sales worker—education and diploma usually needed.6 out of 10 people today work in a store or an office.Ask students to devise a way that the employee could be replaced.For example，the coming trend in fast food is to use computers rather than people to run the restaurant.A prototype is apparently already being tested.The students should discover that most jobs that lack education and diploma requirements will be ripe for automation.1．By saying “the dropout rate isn’t dropping”，the author means to say that ________.A．most of the 9th graders can afford to go to schoolB．quite a few of the 9th graders can graduateC．the majority of the 9th graders cannot graduateD．the minority of the 9th graders can’t graduate2．The author’s attitude towards the schools is ________.A．criticism B．praise C．ignoring D．support3．With the help of some professionals，________.A．fewer students may stay in schoolsB．some parents will be more convinced of their children’s futureC．the dropout rate in schools may dropD．all the kids problems should be solved4．What does the underlined word “offspring” probably mean?A．friends B．students C．children D．parents5．According to the passage，________ doesn’t need education.A．an automation job of todayB．a computer-related job nowC．an office job at presentD．a domestic servant’s job in 1900Units 3～4Ⅰ.【解题导语】文章讲述作者做马拉松义工后亲自参加比赛，结果落后于一位70岁老者发出感叹，并体悟到一种人生哲理：按自己的要求设立自己的目标，从而不断地提高自己。

高中英语学习材料madeofjingetieji模块综合测评【XZB2016TBYLYYX08017】(时间：100分钟；满分：120分)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
AGeorge Gershwin，born in 1898，was one of America's greatest composers.He published his first song when he was eighteen years old.During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.Many of Gershwin's songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City.These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s.Many of his songs have remained popular as ever.Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way—from jazz to country.In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music.Could jazz，some people asked，be considered serious music？In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music.Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it.And in that short time，he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue.Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert.The audience were thrilled when they heard his music.It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.In 1928，Gershwin went to Paris.He applied to study composition(作曲)with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger，but she rejected him.She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style.While there，Gershwin wrote An American in Paris.When it was first performed，critics(评论家)were divided over the music.Some called it happy and full of life，to others it was silly and boring.But itquickly became popular in Europe and the United States.It still remains one of his most famous works.George Gershwin died in 1937，just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer.He was only thirtynine years old.Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages.People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.1．Many of Gershwin's musical works were ．A．written about New YorkersB．composed for Paul WhitemanC．played mainly in the countrysideD．performed in various ways2．What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?A．It attracted more people to theatres.B．It proved jazz could be serious music.C．It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra.D．It caused a debate among jazz musicians.3．What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?A．He created one of his best works.B．He studied with Nadia Boulanger.C．He argued with French critics.D．He changed his music style.4．What do we learn from the last paragraph?A．Many of Gershwin's works were lost.B．The death of Gershwin was widely reported.C．A concert was held in memory of Gershwin.D．Brain cancer research started after Gershwin's death.BRobert Frost(1874-1963)is one of America's most beloved poets.He was a contemporary of many modernist poetic movements，but he wasn't associated (与……有联系)with any particular group of poets.He stuck to his own literary beliefs，and asa result，he attracted a good deal of criticism from the literary world.But，it is just because he was such a person and his voice was so original that Frost became so beloved.If you are to choose one of his poems and read it aloud on a busy street，we are sure that many people will recognize the poem immediately as Frost's.“Mending Wall”，which is the first poem in North of Boston，Frost's second book of poetry，is one of his most popular poems.It is a poem about two neighbors who fix a rock wall that lies between their homes.“I”want to destroy the wall，but the “neighbor”wants to leave it standing.We just can't get enough of walls，can we？People love boundaries(界线)．We love them when we're little，protecting our precious toys from our troublesome (令人烦恼的)brothers and sisters.As we get older，we begin to throw around the gentle term“personal space”，as in“GET OUT OF MY ROOM！”In college，we really learn how the idea of“My house is your house”doesn't always result in happy roommate relationships.After we become adults with good jobs and a lot of cool things，we often put up fences，gates，walls，or doors to protect our stuff and keep the peace.Walls help us protect ourselves，but their downside is that they often keep people from communicating with each other.“Mending Wall”makes us take a look at how we use our walls and boundaries，and why we use them the way we do.This poem sends a wakeup call to the universe.There are walls between our hearts.5．What can we learn about Robert Frost?A．His writing style is special.B．His first poem is about life.C．He often criticized other poets.D．He joined many poetic movements.6．In Paragraph 3，what does the author want to show?A．Sharing with others brings us happiness.B．There seem to be lots of walls in our lives.C．Walls let people know about themselves.D．Personal space is important to everyone.7．The third paragraph is developed ．A．by space B．by exampleC．by time D．by comparison8．The underlined word“downside”in the l ast paragraph can be replaced by “”．A．true use B．old wayC．negative part D．major differenceCThere are so many disappointments when a person that has read an awesome book goes to see its representation(上演) at the movie theater.There is a huge amount of expectation and an idea of what the characters and the places described in the book are like.These opinions are not often shared by directors and can be a letdown to anyone that has a different view.There is also an issue concerning time that can cause disappointment.While a book is very descriptive and detailed，a movie just does not have the time to be so.A fan may remember certain parts of a book that have great significance to him but have to be cut out from the movie because of time.This is a strong reason why book lovers are not fans of movies that have been made from their favorite books.While a director may think that one part of the book is important in showing the plot，a reader might consider it something entirely different.Imagination is an enemy of bookbased movies as well.When reading a book，it is the imagination that sometimes makes it great.People can imagine characters and places in any way they want to based on the description of the author.The hero can be as handsome or the place as grand as one imagines it could be，while in the movie，it is there for real.Maybe the hero isn't as handsome or the place as grand as the reader thought it to be in the book.This can greatly affect the opinion of the movie as being good or bad.Most people that see a bookbased movie without reading the book can be satisfied with the movie's contents. Even when these people read the book after seeing the movie，their disappointment is not as great.They may think that the book adds more or that it is more detailed.9．If a person has read a book and goes to see a film based on the book，he'll probably feel ．A．bored B．disappointedC．relaxed D．proud10．What is the disadvantage of a book-based film compared with the book itself?A．It is not so detailed.B．It tells the story which is outofdate.C．It leaves out important scenes.D．It doesn't have handsome heroes.11．Why is imagination an enemy of book-based movies?A．Most moviegoers lack imagination.B．Directors usually misinterpret a book.C．Bookbased movies are usually poorly made.D．Movies don't live up to people's imaginations12．The purpose of the text is to ．A．advise us to read booksB．argue against a certain pointC．describe an interesting sceneD．explain a common phenomenonDSome colors that people see late at night could cause signs of the condition mental health experts call clinical depression(临床抑郁症)．That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals who live or work in low levels of light overnight can develop clinical depression.Doctors use the words clinical depression to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities，low energy levels and thoughts of death.In the new study，American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters(仓鼠)to different colors.The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal，which means they sleep during the day and are active at night. The animals were separated into 4 groups.One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their nighttime period. Another group was placed in blue light，a third groupslept in white light. While a fourth was put in red light. After four weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank.They found that the more depressed animals drank the least amount of water.Randy Nelson，at Ohio State University，says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed.“What we saw is that these animals didn't show any sleep interruptions at all but they did have messed up circadian clock(生物钟)genes and they did show depressive evidence but if they were in the dim red light，they did not.”He says there's a lot of blue in white light. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters see red light or darkness.13.

This dictionary uses a(n) 33 number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 34 exposed to（接触）the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. 35 this, I can express myself more easily in English.16.A．worried B．sad C．surprised D．nervous17.A．Because B．Although C．Unless D．If18.A．but B．so C．or D．and19.A．difficult B．interesting C．ambiguous D．practical20.A．thus B．even C．still D．again21.A．new B．familiar C．earlier D．ordinary22.A．explained B．expressed C．described D．created23.A．offered B．agreed C．decided D．happened24.A．imagine B．recommend C．predict D．understand25.A．natural B．better C．easier D．convenient26 A．at best B．in fact C．at times D．in case27.A．words B．names C．ideas D．characters28.A．hope B．declare C．doubt D．tell29.A．exact B．basic C．translated D．expected30.A．Rather B．However C．Therefore D．Instead31.A．when B．before C．until D．while32.A．Largely B．Generally C．Gradually D．Probably33.A．extra B．average C．total D．limited34.A．repeatedly B．nearly C．immediately D．anxiously35.A．According to B．In relation to C．In addition to D．Because of三、阅读When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well,it’s so-and-so’s fault.”or “I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault；the car broke down.”It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However,you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on the person. You should accept that the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.36. According to the passage, winners .A. deal with problems rather than blame othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather that others37.The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. avoidB. acceptC. improveD. consider38.When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .A. find a better way to handle the problemB. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. ask a more able colleague for help39.
