课下能力提升(四)Ⅰ.阅读理解Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs, but the brave 32-year-old man plays football and golf, swims, and surfs. Nick has a small foot on his left side, which helps him balance and enables him to kick. He uses his one foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up between his toes.“I call it my chicken drumstick，” joked Nick. “I'd be lost without it. When I get in the water I float because 80 per cent of my body is lungs and my drumstick acts as a propeller (螺旋桨)．”When Nick was born, his father was so shocked that he left the hospital room to vomit. His distraught mother couldn't bring herself to hold him until he was four months old.“It was so hard for them, but right from the start they did their best to make me independent. My dad put me in the water when I was 18 months old and gave me the courage to learn how to swim，” said Nick.Throughout his childhood Nick dealt with the typical challenges. At the age of seven, Nick tried out some specially designed electronic arms and legs, in the hope that he would be more like other kids. During the short trial period of the electronic arms and legs, Nick realized that even with them, he was still unlike his peers at school, and they turned out to be much too heavy for Nick to operate, affecting his flexibility quite significantly.“When I was 13 I read a newspaper article about a disabled man who had managed to achieve great things and help others，”said Nick. “I realized why God had made us like this — to give hope to others. It was so inspirational to me that I decided to use my life to encourage others and decided to be thankful for what I do have, not get angry about what I don't.”“I tell people to keep on getting up when they fall and to always love themselves，” he said. “If I can encourage just one person then my job in this life is done.” By now, he has visited 35 different countries, touring the world as a motivational speaker.语篇解读：本文讲述了演说家Nick Vujicic身残志坚的故事。

Unit 1课下能力提升(一)阅读理解A“This isn't Disneyland, I'm not a novelty (新奇), this is as real as it gets.”sing The Sisters of Invention.The young women —Annika, Michelle, Jackie, Aimee and Caroline —are a pop group with a difference. All have learning difficulties and some have extra disabilities.The five are based in Adelaide, Australia, and met in 2010 when they sang together in a choir (合唱队) run by Tutti, an organization which supports disabled artists. Tutti saw they had talent and invited them to form a group. Now they perform together two or three times per month, and this is how they make a living.Michelle is 25 and has cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and a mild learning disability. She says, “We choose the name The Sisters of Invention because we are like sisters and we support each other on and off stage. For the invention part, we are trying to change people's view of people with disabilities. We are reinventing the rules.”All their songs are based on the members' own experiences and were written as a group in their twice weekly meetings at Tutti. “We would arrive in the morning and I'd say, ‘What do you want to talk about today？’”says their manager and producer Michael Ross. He then noted down everything they said until lyrics took shape. Ross says that putting “their truth” out there is important. He says, “What I'm interested in is that we get to see the world in a way that people in pop culture almost never get to see. It is creative gold.”When they perform their songs, the physical side of their disabilities is more obvious, but Ross says, “They're not up there to show their barriers or difficulties. They're up there to show their strengths.”1．What do we know about The Sisters of Invention?A．All its members are disabled.B．It was founded all by five girls.C．It has existed for less than ten years.D．They perform not in order to make money.2．The girls choose the name The Sisters of Invention because ________．A．they all have great talentB．they help each other like sistersC．they have the same experiencesD．they are good at inventing things3．How does Michael Ross produce lyrics for The Sisters of Invention?A．By talking with the girls.B．By asking the girls questions.C．By learning about pop culture.D．By using his personal experiences.4．How do audiences probably feel watching the performances of The Sisters of Invention?A．They will feel bored.B．They will be inspired.C．They will feel disappointed.D．They will have pity on them.BAnimals might not be able to speak or master advanced language techniques, but they certainly have other ways of communicating. Whale song, wolf howls, frog cries —even the fast dance of the honeybee or the friendly waves of a dog's tail —are among so many ways animals pass on information to each other and to other living things of the animal kingdom.When it comes to hearing communication, not every member of a species is just alike. Animals in different places have often been sounding off in different dialects. For example, one study shows that blue whales, produce different types of sounds depending on where they are from. Some bird species are the same way. And what about those birds that live on the border between territories (领地) of different songbirds? They are often able to communicate in a way accepted by each of their groups of neighbors.Communication between different species can play important roles as well. One study shows that iguanas (鬣蜥蜴) do not communicate by making sound, but their welldeveloped ears help them hear well the warning calls of the flycatcher (a type of small bird). The two species have nothing in common except for the fact that they share a general habitat and enemies. So when an iguana hears a bird make a signal of danger for other birds, it probably knows to be watchful for arriving enemies, too.However, as noise pollution has become a serious problem all across the globe, many_animals_are_now_under_fire. Increased shipping traffic over the last century has greatly affected the spread of whale song around the ocean basin. Studies have found that songbirds, too, suffer from noisy city surroundings. Some species have had to change their singing styles, producing songs that sound louder, in order to be heard above the noise. Their new voices usually lead to stranger and somewhat worse styles of singing that female birds find decidedly less sexy.5．What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2?A．Various dialects can also happen to the same animals.B．Animals communicate with each other in different ways.C．Different animals have different ways of communicating.D．Animals from different places may make the same sound.6．What can we learn about iguanas?A．They communicate by singing.B．They are born with poor hearing.C．They often bring bad luck to humans.D．They get along well with flycatchers.7．By saying “many animals are now under fire”，the author means ________．A．they refuse to communicate with othersB．they cannot communicate effectivelyC．they are now in danger of dying outD．they don't make a sound any more8．Due to noise pollution, songbirds ________．A．find it hard to attract the opposite sexB．produce more songs that sound sadC．begin to communicate by dancingD．can not find food easily any moreCDarek Fidyka, a 38yearold Bulgarian, had been paralysed (瘫痪的) from the chest down for four years after a knife attack. Scientists from Britain and Poland took cells from his nose, transplanted (移植) them into his back and re-grew his spinal cord (脊髓). Now he can walk and even drive a car. The doctors were delighted but said it was the first step in a long journey.The breakthrough came after 40 years of research by Professor Geoff Raisman, who found that cells had the possibility to repair damage to nasal (鼻腔的) nerves, the only part of the nervous system that constantly regrows. “The idea was to take something from an area where the nervous system can repair itself, and does so throughout life, and put it into an area that doesn't repair itself，”Professor Raisman said.Polish doctors injected the nasal cells into Mr Fidyka's spinal cord above and below the injury and used some nerves from his ankle to form a bridge across the damaged tissue. The nasal cells appear to have caused the spinal nerves to repair themselves.Professor Raisman achieved this with rats in the late 1990s, but this is his gre atest success. “I think the moment of discovery for me was Christmas in 1997 when I first saw a rat that couldn't control its hand put its hand out to me. That was an exciting moment, because I realised then that my belief that the nervous system could be repaired was true.”Doctors chose the easiest case for their first attempt —it might not work for others. But there is a real sense of hope that an idea once thought impossible has been realised.David Nicholls, who helped provide money for the breakthrough, said information about the breakthrough would be made available to researchers across the globe.“What you've got to understand is that for three million paralysed people in the world today, the world looks a totally brighter place than it did yesterday，”he said.9．Why did Professor Geoff Raisman choose cells from the nose?A．The nervous system in the nose can repair itself.B．Cells in the nose can be easily transplanted.C．Cells in the nose reproduce rapidly.D．He just wanted to give it a try.10．Why did the operation work for Darek Fidyka?A．The nasal cells reproduced and spread quickly.B．The nerves from his ankle helped cure the injury.C．The nervous system in the spinal cord can repair itself.D．The nasal cells helped the spinal nerves to repair themselves.11．What made Professor Geoff Raisman believe the nervous system can be repaired?A．His study on animals.B．His operation on a paralysed patient.C．His sudden thoughts about Christmas.D．His unusual experience with a sick rat.12．David Nicholls' words suggest that ________．A．the world is becoming better and brighterB．paralysed people have the hope of recoveryC．the report of the breakthrough will be published soonD．researchers across the globe will carry out the operation课下能力提升(一)语篇解读：本文为记叙文，题材为人物故事类。

At some point, you may find yourself in what you will consider as your darkest hour. As you try to find your way out of that bad situation, you should try to remind yourself that there will always be a reason to be grateful.If you look at your situation now and compare it with someone else who is in much deeper trouble than you, I am sure that you'll find something to be thankful for. We all have our share of problems, but complaining about them so much only makes us blind to the fact that there are themiracles (奇迹) which happen around us each day.When all your needs are provided, then you should be content and happy. If you have a roof over your head, some proper clothes to wear, enough food on the table, a comfortable place to sleep, clean water to drink and you are free to make your own choices, then you should be happy and grateful. Many people all around the world, especially those who are at war or those in very poor countries, would_give_anything_to_be_in_your_shoes．Even if you lose all your money or possessions and your heart is broken for some reason, as long as you are still alive, then everything you have lost can be regained.

These people are called “materialists”，namely, those who value material goods more than experiences. But which of the two choices makes people happier?Back in 2009, Ryan Howell, a professor at San Francisco State University, found that in the long run, experiences make people happier than possessions. This is because the joy of receiving anew object fades over time as you get used to seeing it every day. Experiences, on the other hand, can continue to bring you joy in the future through happy memories.But materialists should at least be happy when they first buy something, shouldn't they?To figure it out, Howell did another study. He classified a group of adults according to their personality types, ranging from less materialistic to more materialistic. Each person was asked different questions to see how they felt about spending money on material goods versus spending money on experiences.As expected, the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases than the less materialistic, because such purchases didn't fit with their personalities and values. But to Howell's surprise, he found that materialists weren't any happier even if they spent money on material items.This is because materialists worry that others may criticize or look down on their choices. “There are certain value systems that are rejected by society，”said Howell. “When we find out someone is materialistic, we think less of them, and that drives their happiness down.”Another reason is that materialistic people always focus on what they don't have instead of what they have now. This makes them feel less satisfied and grateful.If you happen to be a materialistic person, there's something you can try. “If materialists make more accurate purchases, rather than trying to impress others, they will be happier，”Howell said.You should also remember what an ancient Greek philosopher once said, “Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”5．What did Ryan Howell find in his studies?A．Material goods bring people less happiness than experiences.B．About onethird of the people prefer material goods to experiences.C．Materialists have more fun spending money on goods than on experiences.D．Receiving a new object brings lasting joy while the joy of an experience fades soon.6．What did Ryan Howell want to find out by doing another study?A．How to judge whether a person is a materialist.B．Why materialists are not happy with their purchases.C．How materialists feel when they spend money on goods.D．Whether materialists are happy when they first make purchases.7．Why does the author use the ancient Greek philosopher'swords in the last paragraph?A．To advise materialistic people not to try to impress others.B．To persuade people to be satisfied with what they have.C．To prove it's unwise to be materialistic and desire too much.D．To tell readers what they desire now might one day become theirs.8．What can be the best title for the passage?A．Are You a Materialist?B．How to Acquire Happiness?C．The Best Present for the BirthdayD．Which Can Make People Happier?Ⅴ.任务型阅读The job interview is an important part of your job search because it's an opportunity for the employer to figure out if you're right for the job.
