课时作业(二十六)题型组合练——练速度(限时：30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解ABest of British: Service StationsBrockholes Nature Reserve ServicesM6，PRESTON“Our service station is different from any other service station you're going to stop at on any of the motorways in the UK，” says manager Alan Right.He's not lying.Brockholes is distinctive in that the whole facility floats on a 4,000-foot pontoon (浮码头) in the middle of a lake.What's more，there's a bakery on site—so you can reward yourself wi th the “cake of the week” after a walk.Gloucester ServicesM4，BROOK THORPEOrdinarily，the most you can expect of service-station food is a fast-food burger，or sugar-filled packaged goods.Not so at Gloucester Services.Located in a county known for its agriculture，this service station puts local produce at the fore(在前面)．The farm shop offers regional cheeses and the caféserves up some of the best home-made cake around.Cairn Lodge ServicesM74，DOUGLASThis was recently named the cheapest service station in the country，and that's not even the best thing about it; next to the station is an authentic ancient fortress (城堡)．Douglas Castle is small and largely in ruins，but wandering around it makes for an enjoyable way to stretch your legs.The service station was privately owned until 2014，when it was acquired by Westmorland.The company has made a point of ensuring the food is to its trademark first-rate standard.Yorkshire Sculpture Park Service StationM1，YORKSHIREThis station could beat some of the nation's best galleries，and—since you're already driving somewhere—you don't even have to go out of your way to see it.The 500 acres of carefully managed parkland are home to open-air displays from some of the world's finest artists.Walk along the trails and you'll come across breathtaking sculptures，andsplendid views.[语篇解读]本文是一篇应用文。

根据Cairn Lodge Services介绍中的next to the station is an authentic ancient fortress (城堡)可知答案。
答案：BBI was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony (殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide.As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies' Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls' school for Chinese girls,which was soon followed by the opening of a boys' school.Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador (买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learn English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs.Gutzlaff's School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God.[语篇解读]本文主要讲述了作者在澳门就读于一所外国人开办的男子学校的故事。

Much food was left over.7.He became confident enough (challenge) the most difficult match.8.He is always the first one (answer) the teacher's question in class.9.He's got himself into a dangerous situation he is likely to lose control over the plane.10.There is mud and water everywhere||，(make) it difficult to travel from place to place.Ⅲ.短语填空11.(除……之外) writing stories||， I love reading and listening to music.12.It was getting late when she finally (出现||，露面).13.They (振作起来) when they saw us coming along.14.He was an orphan from childhood||， so he must have (经历) a lot.15.This helps you to(意识到) time and concentrate your mind on the immediate task.Ⅳ.句型训练16.You don't have to go running upstairs(每次她来电话).17.(这并非偶然) none of the directors are women.18.That day I (不需要熬夜) because I had finished my paper by the deadline.19.There's plenty of rain in the south-east||，(而在西北雨量很少).20.That car is my property; you (不允许使用它) without my permission.能力提升Ⅴ.阅读理解Many people delight in gossiping(说闲话)||， and the more they know about someone else||， the more powerful they feel—at someone else's expense. While at the end of the day no good will come of it and someone is bound to get hurt||， and try telling that to someone who's excited to relay the latest piece of juicy news.Most people have some awareness when saying something we know we shouldn't. As it is slipping out of our mouths||， we start to feel uncomfortable. We have a sense of conflict between finishing the sentence that may draw attention but won't make anyone look good||， and awkwardly stopping mid-story. There are those who after spreading gossip end with a well-meaning||，“I shouldn't have said anything and I can't really tell you how I heard it.” Not any better. Once out||， they may feel good for a moment||， but they're just as likely to regret their decision. By this time||， it is too late.That is to say||， some people just don't notice or pay attention to the voice in their head saying||，“Don't” and others actively ignore it.In the end||， the results are the same. With our lack of sensitivity||， we say things that should never be said and often don't stop long enough to realize that we have not only hurt others||， but we have unintentionally hurt ourselves. Given this||，why do people gossip? For some||， it feels good to be in control of knowledge that others may not know.Talking about others can become a habit and unless you work hard to break it||， you may discover that others distance themselves from you. After all||， if you can't be trusted to keep secrets and not share information||， people may choose not to have you as their friend. We have two ears and just one mouth. When in doubt||， it is always better to listen than to speak.21. What's the closest meaning of the underlined word “relay”?A.Show.B.Cover.C.Spread.D.Get.22. Which statement is NOT the reason for people being conscious of saying something we know we shouldn't?A.They feel not good when they are leaking out it.B.They are interested in gossiping.C.They have a sense of conflict during saying it.D.They probably regret to say it.23. Why do people say something that should never be said and can hurt others?A.Because they want to hurt others.B.Because they hate this kind of people.C.Because they know well each other.D.Because they are lack of sensitivity.24. From the last paragraph||， we can know that .A.we should speak less and listen moreB.we can't keep secretsC.we haven't many friendsD.we should talk about others as many as possibleⅥ.完形填空The Depression was still going on||， but I was in good spirits. I was going to graduate from elementary school||， yet my mother 25 dressed me in shorts. Most of my classmates had given up 26 shorts. For the graduation ceremony||， all the boys were 27 to dress the same way—white shirts and dark-blue wool pants.I waited until a week before I told my mother. I 28 I'd better break the news to her as gently as I could.“Mum||，” I said||，“about 29…”“Yes?” she answered.“They're going to give me the first-prize medal||，” I said.She looked 30 her shoulder at me and smiled. “That's wonderful||， Babe. Dad and I will both be there||， and we'll be the 31 parents in the place.”She must have seen by the look on my face that 32 was wrong. She turned her back and said||，“So?”“So||， I have to get 33 pants||，” I said.“Babe||， we don't have the 34 for new pants right now||，” she said very quietly. “You know that.”“OK||，” I burst out. “Then I won't go to the graduation. Plus||， I'm 35 away from home!”The following Saturday||， when my mother said||，“Let's go shopping||，” I knew she had 36 the problem. We walked a short way and stopped at a place I had never 37 before. My mother said||，“38 here.” She entered a storefront that looked like a 39. She came out about ten minutes later||， and we went to the pants store. I was holding the new pants 40 under my arm when my mother went to pay for it. I saw her 41 a tiny brown envelope from her purse. There were four 42 new one-dollar bills inside.About halfway home||， I 43 down at my mother's hands. It was then that I saw the wedding ring that had always circled her ring finger was 44 there.25.A.still B.alsoC.alreadyD.even26.A.choosing B.makingC.wearingD.buying27.A.persuaded B.expectedC.encouragedD.forced28.A.guessed B.dreamedC.imaginedD.figured29.A.classmates B.graduationC.schoolD.depression30.A.over B.aboveC.acrossD.through31.A.luckiest B.poorestC.richestD.proudest32.A.everything B.nothingC.somethingD.anything33.A.fashionable B.expensiveC.shortD.long34.A.power B.energyC.moneyD.time35.A.walking B.runningC.movingD.escaping36.A.solved B.discoveredC.metD.ignored37.A.passed B.noticedC.watchedD.stayed38.A.Rest B.LookC.StandD.Wait39.A.school B.restaurantC.bankD.hotel40.A.tightly B.roughlyC.softlyD.nervously41.A.bring B.takeC.carryD.pick42.A.total B.entirepleteD.brand43.A.glared B.staredC.glancedD.put44.A.no doubt B.no longerC.no wayD.stillⅦ.语法填空阅读下面短文||，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式||。

Module 1 Small TalkⅠ.话题延读Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship.Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos (禁忌) in a particular tin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs.They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children.You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends.The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements.For them, arguments can be interesting—and they can cover pretty much or any topic—as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent (才智的) manner.In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics.In Japan, China and Korea, however, people are much more private.They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious(和谐的) business relationship they’re trying to build.Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters.It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.As a general rule, it’s best not to talk about politics or religion(宗教) with your business friends.This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views.In addition, discussing one’s salary is usually considered unsuitable.Sports are typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticize a national sport.Instead, be friendly and praise your host’s team.1.The author considers politics and religion .A.cheerful topicsB.taboosC.rude topicsD.too serious2.We typically talk about in a friendly way in most places according to theauthor.A.sportsB.childrenC.personal feelingsD.families3.Why are people from Asia more private in their conversation with others?A.They don’t want to talk with others much.B.They don’t want to have their good relationship with others harmed by informal conversation.C.They are afraid to argue with their colleagues.D.They want to keep their feelings to themselves.4.In which country may it be suitable to talk about the family with your business friends?A.In France.B.In Saudi Arabia.C.In Korea.D.In the USA.语篇解读:本文主要介绍了不同国家非正式谈话的常见话题和一些禁忌。

第一部分选修六Module 1Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·宁夏银川高三三模) Many years ago，my dad was facing a serious heart condition.He was unable to do a steady job.He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children's hospital.My dad loved kids.It was the perfect job for him.He ended up working with the seriously ill children.He would talk，play, and do arts with them.One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed(瘫痪)her from the neck down.She couldn't do anything，and she was very depressed.My dad decided to try to help her.He started visiting her in her room，bringing paints，brushes and paper.He stood the paper up，put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint.He didn't use his hands at all.All the while he would tell her, “See，you can do anything you set your mind to.''At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth，and she and my dad became friends.Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her.My dad also left the children's hospital for a little while because he became ill.Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work，in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking.She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight.She gave him a picture she had done using her hands.At the bottom it read：”Thank you for helping me walk.''My dad would cry every time he told US this story and so would we.He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor, and my dad—who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture—loved every single child in that hospital.语篇解读：这是一篇记叙文。

asked if I would consider a transfer(调任)from his staff.It appeared from his description of this employee that she was having a lot of problems performing her duties，and had difficulties on a personal basis with her supervisor(主管)，and did not appear to respond to any attempts he，the manager，had made to settle the issues.After listening to his explanation，I really had severe doubts.What crossed my mind was that he wanted me to take a performance problem off his hands.I told him I would think about it and would let him know the next day.After thinking more about this potential performance issue，I decided that I would speak with the employee privately before I made any decision.And what I found out during the interview made me think about it seriously.It turned out after speaking with her for over an hour that the performance issue appeared to result from working for a supervisor who never returned a good morning greeting，never gave a word of encouragement，and enjoyed finding fault.The end resultwas a totally upset employee who hated to see a new workday start，and who had considered quitting every day before she went to work.The look on her face，the trembling hands，and the

children to talk.The educators in my school district recognize the need for children to talk.Our curricula embrace(contain)“active”participation.This means that during a lesson the students are expected to talk and interact in order to have the learning become a part of them.The children are expected to talk about what they are reading in their anthologies(选集)，to answer questions together.There are certain times when children need to meditate and digest what they'velearned without talking.At these times，the children begin to think about social activities.Children don't have much opportunity to write，and many educators believe that children don't have the ability to express themselves when writing.The students in my class are allowed to converse but only in writing.If they are having a problem with a classmate，they write the problem out and give it to me.We then set up a conference and talk about the problem.We figure out ways that the problem can be solved.The writing is twofold(双重的)．It helps the child calm down and not be reactive and teaches children the way to use words to express themselves.Talking is important，but just as important is knowing the appropriate times to talk.We do encourage our children to talk when they are small and they are used to expressing themselves.My theory，as I tell my students，is that he or she who talks the most，will probably grow up to be a teacher.They，then，will be able to talk all the time and NOT get in trouble.46．The educators in the author's school district recognize the need for children to talk by

title of the passage?A．Talking is ImportantB．Talking and WritingC．Understanding Why Children Talk in ClassD．Children Talking in Class－Right or Wrong?DTony Burke，Australia's environment minister，says he won't decide until next year whether the koala should be protected as an endangered species.He was expected to make his decision by the end of October.But that decision has been put off.Burke said he needed more time to go over the latest information about the koala's population.In September，an Australian Senate committee reported that there was no question the koala's population is on the decrease.“But they may not yet be eligible(符合条件的)for listing as a threatened species，”said Senator Doug Cameron.“To have such a significant Australian icon(偶像)included on the threatened species list would be a national shame.”The koala is found only in the eucalyptus(桉树)forests of Australia.And its population is reported to have fallen sharply for many reasons，including the cutting down of forests to make way for human beings' development，their own illness，climate change and killings by other animals such as wild dogs.And every year many koalas are hit by cars as they are trying to cross the busy roads.Putting off the decision on protection for the koala “is really bad news，”said Debbie Pointing，the president of the Koala Action Group.“We've worked tirelessly for many years to gather data on the populations，”Pointing said.“That data should be enough to make a decision.”However，Burke pointed out that the Australian government had spent at least $6.3 million on koala conservation efforts since 1996.Senators listed efforts that are already underway in Queensland－the construction of special koala bridges as well as fences along roads，to keep the animals out of harm's way.Some people say that is not enough.“What we're doing at the moment is likely to drive this species to extinction，”Queensland University zoologist Bill Ellis said.“Koalas are an iconic Australian animal，”Burke told Australians.“They hold a special place in the hearts of Australians.”But it is a fact that if more isn't done to protect the koala，they might soon hold a place only in Australians' memories.51．Tony Burke put off announcing the koala as an endangered species because ________.A．he needed more time to examine the latest informationB．he doubted whether koalas' number is decreasingC．he was thinking about ways to protect koalasD．he had more important issues to deal with52．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The habitat of the koala.B．Australia's traffic problems.C．The importance of koalas for Australians.D．Reasons for the decrease of the koala population.53．According to the text，Debbie Pointing thinks that ________.A．the construction of special koala bridges is of little useB．koalas are becoming less important in Australians'heartsC．the government is to blame for the decreasing koala populationD．the government should announce the koala as an endangered species54．It can be learned from the text that Tony Burke________.A．thought the government has done much for koalasB．called on Australians to take care of the koalaC．decided to construct more fences along roadsD．was optimistic about the koala's future55．What is the main idea of the text?A．Australia puts off the decision on whether the koala is endangered.B．Australia is taking special measures to protect koalas.C．The population of koalas is reducing rapidly.D．Australians are concerned about koalas.Ⅳ.阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)[1]Ever wish you could be as muscular as a superhero or your favorite professional athlete？Well，the big muscles you're thinking about aren't possible for kids.Superheroes，of course，aren't real，and professional athletes are grown-ups，whose bodies are different from kids' bodies in many ways.[2]Boys，especially，might wish for bigger muscles，but their bodies can't build that kind of adult muscle until they're older.On the bright side，both boys and girls can do a lot to build strong，healthy muscles.Let's find out how.[3]Playing makes muscles.It sounds too simple，but it's true.Playing，running，jumping，and riding your bike ________.Any physical activity you like to do—from dancing to playing football—can make you stronger.Why？Because you're using your muscles when you do it.[4]Eat good food.What should you eat if you want strong muscles？You might think you need a lot of foods that contain protein(such as meat and eggs)or foods that contain iron.But no magical food helps build muscles.Your muscles—and your entire body—will be strong and healthy if you eat a variety of nutritious foods.[5]Should you pump iron？Some kids want to lift weights so they can look bigger and stronger.But lifting weights won't produce big muscles in kids who haven't gone through puberty(青春期)yet，and lifting heavy weights can be dangerous for kids' muscles and tendons(肌腱)．With supervision from a coach or trainer，kids can do some light weight-lifting or exercise with large rubber bands.This kind of exercisecan improve muscle tone，meaning a kid's muscles will be leaner and stronger，but not really bigger.[6]Push-ups，sit-ups，and chin-ups also help build strong muscles.But so can plain old running，jumping，and climbing.Get the message？More playtime means stronger muscles.Now that's something to get pumped up about!56．What is the main idea of the text？(no more than 8
