Unit 16 StoriesⅠ.阅读理解AWhen I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. I've lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in my neighborhood, there are shootups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who were barred in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark wouldn't let that happen.Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.Mr. Clark was selected as Disney's 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of a hat; those students would go with him to Los Angeles to get the award. But when the time came to draw names, Mr. Clark said，“You're all going.〞On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn't want his class to end. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta, but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education, and wrote a bestselling book based on his classroom rules, The Essential 55. In 2003, Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit orphanages. It was the most amazing experience of my life. It's now my dream to one day start a group of women's clubs, helping people from all backgrounds.文章大意：本文是一篇写人记叙文。

He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future. That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth center Kidpreneur.In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that center. The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood — a lowincome area in Sydney's western suburbs —and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.At the end of the course, Sarah took the kids to the local area. She asked volunteers to share their business experiences —Kevin immediately put up his hand.His challenge was to trade his hot dog selling service for free bread at a bakery. Although scared, Kevin was able to share his entrepreneurial story (创业故事) with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread.

By the end of the afternoon, his belief in himself and what was possible was at an alltime high.The following week, Kevin sold 70 hot dogs in two hours and made over $200.

In my family, quilting and sewing is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. My mother says her greatgrandmother would occasionally travel around New YorkState to sew clothing for other families.In the United States, quilting was a craft (手艺) that started as a necessity and eventually became much more. In 1862, the U．S. government offered millions of acres of land to Americans who wanted to move west. This allowed families to settle on land that they could eventually own. They often built their own homes and lived off the vegetables in their gardens and the livestock they had. Sewing was very important for women because they were responsible for clothing their families and keeping them warm.Quilting also became a chance for women to socialize with each other. They would gather for socalled“quilting bees〞， where they would meet up and work on one quilting project together. This provided a muchneeded relief from the lonely life of living on a large piece of land.Throughout history, the different patterns of American quilts have conveyed all kinds of information. From them, we can tell where a person lived, what region of the world they originated from, or sometimes a story is told in pictures on a quilt.Even today, women still gather to quilt together as a show of friendship and a love for the craft, just like the old days. My sister has tried quilting a few times, and hopefully, her two daughters may one day continue this family tradition.8．What do we know about quilting?A．It is a lost traditional craft.B．It is a major means of making a living in the U．S.A.C．It is a craft that has become a cultural symbol.D．It was a way to carry on the American history.9．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?A．Introduce a new topic for discussion.B．Summarize the previous paragraphs.C．Add some background information.D．Praise the U．S. government's policy.10．What does the underlined word “This〞 in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Working on the land.B．Participating in “quilting bees〞．C．Designing a quilting project.D．Clothing the family.11．What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A．To instruct how to sew fabric together.B．To show the author's skills of quilting.C．To talk about the struggle of women.D．To appeal for the preservation of quilting.D[2020·邯郸一模]It's common knowledge that some countries have higher life expectancies than others, but the city you live in can also affect your health.Some cities are hard on their residents. In places with poor city planning, for example, Lagos, which was called out recently by the Economist Intelligence Unit, public spaces are few, making outdoor activities hard. Lack of infrastructure (根底设施) blocks the streets with cars and the air with pollutants, and residents work long hours for little money.These are just some of the factors added up by Spotahome, a rental agency. They've analyzed data from a range of sources, including the World Health Organization, TripAdvisor and the CIA World Factbook to score each city on health, gym availability and quality, life expectancies, obesity, green space and other elements to make a list to work out which are the world's healthiest cities.The list is certainly Eurocentric and sunshine is seen as a positive factor. It does go some way toward suggesting which cities are getting it right in providing a good life for their residents. It may not be surprising to learn that most of thehealthiest cities are in northern Europe, known for its peoplefirst approach to city planning. The cities of Australia and Canada also do well. However, the first American city is only in 34th place. The U．K. doesn't fare too well either — its only city in the top 50 list is London, in 40th.Whether you're planning a wholesome holiday, or simply wondering what your city can do better in its quest for happy citizens, the list of the 50 healthiest cities will give you pause for thought about the future of city planning. Here are the slender, healthyeating, cleanaired cities that are getting it right.12．What plays the key role in building a healthy city according to the text?A．Local culture. B．City planning.C．Economic condition. D．Geographical position.13．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．How the list of healthiest cities came into being.B．What Spotahome discovered in the recent study.C．The reasons why Spotahome carried out the study.D．The places where the data of the study came from.14．What can we learn from the text?A．Cities in America lack enough sunshine.B．The U．K. ranked higher than America in the list.C．Australia and Canada have the best city planning.D．Some people in Lagos may live a poor life.15．What may be the best title for the text?A．The Best Places to Have a Rich LifeB．The Happiest Lifestyle in the WorldC．The City Factors Affecting Your HealthD．The Nice Countries to Keep Healthy第二节(共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。

Hamunayya, who has become a famous person in his village in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh, said his crop survived an attack of pests which had resisted other pesticides. “We found that all the colas had uniform effect on pests. The pests became dead and fell to the ground，” he said. He said the drinks had all the elements they needed: they were cheaper, sticky, fizzy, and attracted ants, which ate the young of the pests. But Thinupathi Reddy, assistant director of the Regional Agri Research Station, Guntur, says tests had proved such results wrong. “We conducted some field trials on cotton crop at our research station. There was no obvious productivity or destruction of pests，” he says.Statements from Pepsi and Coca Cola said there was “no scientific basis” for this_practice. But their dealers are enjoying increasing sales. Mantan Wall, who sells soft drinks in 17 villages in the region, said sales rose up, thanks to the farmers. “For the 10 days between August and September I had successful business. Instead of just 30 cases (each containing a dozen one litre bottles) of cola, I started selling almost 200 cases，” he said. “We expected the sales to drop after the news over pesticide residues (残留) in the cola drinks. Now I have to keep extra supply for the cotton farmers，” he said.In February, an Indian environment group made a report saying drinks made by Coca Cola and Pepsi contained pesticides and called for tougher safety standards. The US firms strongly rejected the findings of the New Delhibased Centre for Science and Environment and said their products were safe.1.Some Indian farmers think the drinks can kill pests because ________.A.there is some pesticide left in themB.they are sticky and fizzyC.they have elements that kill pestsD.they made the pesticide more effective2.The underlined part “this practice” in Para. 3 probably refers t o “________”.A.testing the mixtureB.selling more drinks in IndiaC.mixing the drinks with the pesticideD.attracting ants to eat the young pests3.The drink makers would not accept the fact that their drinks could kill pests because they ________.A.thought it went against scienceB.believed that the farmers didn't tell the truthC.might fear that it could bring harm to their businessD.insisted that no poison was left in their products4.The writer's purpose of writing this passage is to________.A.tell an interesting incidentB.warn people that some drinks might be dangerous to healthC.suggest using Coca Cola to kill pestsD.announce a new discovery of Coca ColaB(2016·贵阳市适应性检测考试)Choose your wish listIt's normal for any student's college wish list to change through out high school. But when it comes time to apply, many seniors have a hard time narrowing down their choices.There's no hard and fast answer, but there are several things you can do and ask yourself to make the decision easier. Here are three pieces of advice that might help.Do your researchAbove all, it's i mportant to figure out your wants and needs. What do you expect from your education? What are you willing to give up?Veronica Hauad, senior associate director of admissions (录取) at the University of Chicago in the US, said students should start by taking time to figure_out those questions.“Find the thing that's most important to you, and then you can start searching on that factor and sort things out later，” Hauad said.Don't focus on rankingsIt's easy to focus too hard on school rankings, but don't let that make your decision for you when you're looking at colleges. In the long run, rankings probably won't have a big effect on your education. It's OK to look at rankings, but don't obsess (过于执着) over them. Find colleges that really interest you. If they end up being on a top list, think of it as an extra pleasure.Think about your futureHere's an important question to ask all of the colleges on your list: How many of your students find jobs after graduation? A n Ivy League school may look good on an application, but what will the college do to help you find a job?Students should also make sure they're going to college for the right reasons.University of Illinois sophomore (二年级学生) Steve Wang said he has met students who aren't looking at the bigger picture. “I see a lot of students who go to college for the sake of the college experience —not for a higher education，” Wang explained. “So people show up and spend a lot of time at parties and not really paying attention to schoolwork. That's not really what college is for.”5.When you apply to a college, you should ________.A.find out what you really wantB.choose the bestknown collegeC.consider the things you can doD.quit a chance for further study6.What does the underlined part “figure out” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Let out.B.Look out.C.Make out.D.Check out.7.Steve Wang spends his main time on ________.A.parttime jobsB.schoolworkC.partiesD.college experiences8.What is the passage mainly for?A.Researchers.cators.C.Applicants.D.Sophomores.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(2016·河北省唐山市统一考试)You may have grown up living wit h sisters and brothers, or this may be your first time sharing your living space with someone else. 1.________ However, it can also be a great part of your college experience.

One main reason lies at students' bad habits. Too much homework is given by school teachers is another main cause. Some students are absentminded while doing their homework, and some wasting their afterclass time. The third cause is that some students have to get up earlier on weekday to get to school that was far away from home. Experts think an amount of homework for the students should be cut down. Beside, teachers should encourage their students make good use of their spare time. Only in this way can the students improve our study efficiency.高考题型提能练(十六)Ⅰ.1．解析：选D 推理判断题。

Unit 16 Stories课时练1 阅读理解提速练Ⅰ阅读理解A(2021·唐山一模)A new research brings some good news forlovers of spicy(辛辣的) foods, after finding that eating hot redchili peppers might help to extend lifespan(寿命)．Consuming hot red chili peppers might reduce death risk, say Chopan and Littenberg from the research team. In hot peppers，such as Mexico peppers, the strong flavor comes from a compound(化合物)，which does not exist in sweet peppers or onions. Studies have suggested that this compound can offer wealth of health benefits.A study of more than 16，000 people in the United States showed that individuals who consumed red chili peppers had a lower risk of death from all causes over an average of 18 years than those who did not eat the spicy food. Compared with participants who did not consume hot red chili peppers, those who did were found to be at a 13 percent reduced risk of all－cause death.For example, a recent study reported by Medical News Today, found that the compound might have the potential to stop breast cancer, while an earlier study linked the compound to a reduced risk of digest system cancers. Still, the available data suggested that hot red chili pepper consumption was most strongly associated with a reduced risk of death from heart disease.While the researchers are unable to identify the specific compound by which red chili peppers might extend lifespan, the team says that it is likely due to the compound that is effectively against obesity(肥胖症)．Overall, the team says that these latest findings support those of the 2021study, linking spicy foods intake to reduced risk o f death by showing “a significant decrease in death associated with hot red chili pepper consumption”. However, Chopan and Littenberg note that the earlier study was only conducted in Chinese adults, so the new research makes these findings more credible．【解题导语】一项新的研究发现，食用红辣椒之类的辛辣食物可能会降低死亡风险，延长人类的寿命。
