（人教版）2018届高考英语大一轮复习检测;第一部分必修四Unit 3;Ⅰ.阅读理解(2017·厦门质检)导学号42492401A culture's values can be mirrored by its humor.Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes，who disliked humor，“Laughter is nothing else but sudden gl ory arising from some sudden thought of feeling far better than others.” He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrowmindedness.However, Mordechai Gordon, Ph.D of Education, insists, “Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious.” I agree with Gordon.Learning to look at the world through humor is important.In the United States, every four years an election occurs.Without humor as a way to express their feelings，how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming？Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture.They are mothering the masses by metaphorically (隐喻地) airplane-ing politics into our mouths.They make politics fun.Of course, politics is only one type of humor.Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition.American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self-image.On the topic of self-image, Hari Kondabolu stands out.He has a joke about the popular m usical group “ThePussycat Dolls”，describing their hit song“Dont Cha”as a negative representation of women.He points out an obvious offence in American culture.A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner.Amongst other things, mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.Of course, humor is not always used for good purposes.Humor can be linked to vulgarity (庸俗) and racism，but，like everything else, it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves, our failures and our connection with one another.Though life may seem tough and depressing at times，all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles(皱纹)to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn't aware of.With that in mind, remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.文章大意：一种文化的价值能通过其幽默感表现出来。

Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. ＂It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,＂ she says.On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridges closed.When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.＂My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,＂ Natalie says, ＂but I can always choose how I deal with it.＂Natalie’s choice was to help.She created a website page, matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.Today, the scars(创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. ＂I can’t imagin e living anywhere but Rockaway,＂ Natalie declares. ＂My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.＂4.When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found .A. some friends had lost their livesB. her neighborhood was destroyedC. her school had moved to BrooklynD. the elderly were free from suffering5.According to Paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most?A.

Technology is power.CShe Walked Through FireOn Thanksgiving weekend, the Heffelmire family gathered for a meal at their home. After dinner, the family went down to the finished basement to relax except Charlotte’s father, Eric, who was in the garage to fix his truck.Around 8 pm, Charlotte decided to check on her dad. She walked through the kitchen. When she opened the side door to the garage, black smoke rose up into the kitchen. She could barely make out her father lying on his back, trapped under the truck. He’d removed the front passenger-side tyre and raised the truck on a jack(千斤顶). The truck had slipped off the jack, and now the whole weight of the wheel was on his chest and shoulders.Charlotte ran to the front of the truck and struggled to lift it. Eric was still conscious, and he yelled, ＂You got it! One more try!＂ She tried again and was ableto tip the truck backward just enough for her to pull her dad by the shirt with both hands from under the truck.She dragged him across the garage and 20 feet down the driveway. Then she ran back to the garage, which had burst into flames. ＂I was afraid the car was going to explode,＂ says Charlotte, so she climbed into the truck, which faced forward, turned the key, and pressed the gas pedal(油门). The car slowly rolled out, the metal wheel scratching loudly against the concrete.zx*xkSafely on the driveway, Charlotte stopped the truck and ran back to the basement. ＂There’s a fire! Everybody get out!＂ she yelled as she picked up her three-month-old niece and ran out. Outside, she handed the baby to her mom, and then ran around to the burning garage. She picked up a garden hose(水管) and sprayed the fire while calling 911.A few minutes later, firefighters and an ambulance arrived. Charlotte was treated for second-degree burns on both her feet and face. Her dad had injuries on his chest and shoulders, as well as minor burns on his face. The garage and the house were damaged but the family survived.The Heffelmires are staying in an apartment while their house is rebuilt. ＂Charlotte is a remarkable kid,＂ says her dad. Charlotte, however, simply says, ＂I wa s saving my family and my house. I wasn’t going to let my dad die.＂8.Eric got trapped because _____.A. the kitchen was on fireB. the wheel fell off the truckC. the front tyre was removedD. the truck slipped off the jack9.Which of the following is the correct order of the events?a. Charlotte called the firefighters.b. Charlotte saved Eric from under the truck.c. Charlotte drove the truck out of the garage.d. Charlotte warned the family to leave the house.A. b, c, a, dB. a, b, d, cC. a, c, b, dD. b, c, d, a10.As a result of the fire, _____.A. the truck explodedB. the house was not fit to live inC. the three-month-old baby was injuredD. Charlotte was burned on her chest and shoulders11.It can be inferred from the passage that Charlotte is _____.A. proud and clear-headedB. modest and easy-goingC. calm and quick-mindedD. independent and self-centeredDIf you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life，new research may come as a shock. According to a recent scientific study，people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1，000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years. The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die. The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour. The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers. The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉).Over time，this can cause serious injuries.Peter Schnohr，a researcher in Copenhagen，said，＂If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy，jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy. Anything more is not just unnecessary，and it may be harmful.＂The implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi，yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than ＂iron man＂ events，triathlons and long-distance running and cycling. According to Jacob Louis Marott，another researcher involved in the study，＂You don’t actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health. And perhaps you shouldn’t actually do too much＂.12.The underlined word ＂strenuous＂ in Paragraph l is closest in meaning to＂___________＂.A. hardB. regularC. practicalD. flexible13.The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to ___________.A. suggest giving up joggingB. show risks of doing sportsC. provide supportive evidenceD. introduce the research process14.According to the scientists，why is too much exercise harmful？A. It may injure the heart and arteries.B. It can make the body tired out.C. It will bring much pressure.D. It consumes too much energy.15.What can be inferred from the text?A. No exercise at all is the best choice.B. More exercise means a healthier life.C. Marathons runners are least likely to die.D. Proper exercise contributes to good health.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分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佳选项。

Unit 3 A taste of English humourⅠ.阅读理解A(2017·大连高三双基测试)A new “health” trend in Hong Kong sees women staring straight at the sun in the belief that it will replace their needs for food and even improve their vision and sleep quality，reports Oriental Daily News.The women reportedly head to the Sam Ka Village beach every evening and take off their shoes before setting their phone timers and stand to stare at the sunset —some using an umbrella to protect their skin.The concept of “sun eating” is about consuming the sun's solar energy instead of food and they believe by doing so it can reduce the body's needs.Some of the women choose to wear pinhole glasses to limit the UV rays getting to their eyes and causing permanent damage.Some of the sungazers stress they are doing it for health reasons，not weight loss.“We practice sungazing as a substitute for eating.Some of us who have finished the practice now eat less，and others don't have to eat at all，” one woman said.She said they start by looking at the sun for up to 10 seconds on the first day，adding 10 seconds every day until they reach 44 minutes by the ninth month of practice.Hou Xiangjun，a skin specialist，is concerned about the rising trend，saying the high UV degree and water reflection are leading to far too much UV light absorption.“Even if painted with sunscreen(防晒霜) they can only stop five to six percent of the damage；an umbrella or a cap can only take 1020 percent and long exposure will increase the risk of serious skin cancer，” she said.Eye experts are also concerned that it will cause some eye diseases.【语篇解读】本文讲述了一些香港女性的一种新的“健康”趋势。

So when I saw him in the garden days later，I went over to talk to him. And the talk turned out to be quite nice.I was really surprised to find that I had the wisdom not to respond to his comments on my cats. Instead，I had conversations with him about the beautiful flowers he had planted，the color combinations，and the care he took in creating such a sense of order.I tried to convey my understanding and appreciation without arguing or talking down to him. I was really amazed how that talk turned out.We haven't had a conversation like that for over a year! 【语篇解读】 本文讲述的是发生在邻里之间的小插曲。作者巧妙而智慧地通过一次愉快的谈话把她和那位邻居间的不愉快转变为友好。 1．Why was the author's older neighbor shocked yesterday?
