Unit 2 English around the worldI .阅读理解A（2020 -成都市毕业班第二次诊断检测）People often ask how I decide where to go, and I usually get hesitated with my response, as I don't actually have an answer to that. For more than three years, I have been making movements with the universe, traveling from one location to another at seemingly random intervals.A friend of mine posted a message online asking if anybody was interested in a job teaching Engl ish in China. So 1 jumped on a corning plane. Wa 1 king into my f i rst class, I was bombed by 16 strange children who couldn* t understand a single word out of my mouth. When I walked out of my last class, six months later, I had made a personal connection with them. Some of my students could barely speak Chinese or English. But somehow, through determination and force, we were connected.Every class was not only a lesson in English, but in good fellowship, being a role mode 1» being a parent, and being a friend. I became a father to some, an older brother to others. I was loved and adored, feared and hated. I had to learn discipl ine, and not only how to deal it out, but how to discipline and conduct myself as a role model. But in between the discipline, I had to make learning a fun experience. And they forgave me when I yelled or got upset. And when they lost their tempers or bruised their knees or missed their mommy, I forgave them, kissed their bruises better, and gave them a shoulder to cry on.Teaching English in China is, by f ar, the most emotionally reward i ng and fulfilling thing I've ever chailenged myself to do, I have walked away from this job with a softened heart, knowing that I have made a difference in so many lives. I want that. I want my teaching to be reciprocal because they taught me how to unconditionally open my heart and how to be a more loving and patient person.语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。

Unit 2English around the world李仕才一、阅读理解AMy daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up situations, and is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants. “Girls rule, boys drool.〞 But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy〞 is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon〔三项全能〕.On Saturday, with a thunders torm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she’d need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before.All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might bewearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.Shine on, sweet baby.1.Kelly is nervous when ________.A. boys are around herB. she changes into a leaderC. she is away from her momD. situations are new to her2.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that______.A. the race began in the early morningB.

Unit 2 English around the world李仕才***阅读理解One time a young man，who hoped to study law，wrote to Lincoln for advice，and Lincoln replied，“If you are resolutely determined to make a lawyer of yourself，the thing is more than half done already...Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing.”Lincoln knew.He had gone through it all.He had never，in his entire life，had more than a total of one year's schooling.And books？Lincoln once said he had walked to borrow every book within fifty miles of his home.A fire was usually kept going all night in the small house and he read by the light of it.He walked twenty or thirty miles to hear a speaker and, returning home，he practiced his talks everywhere—in the fields，in the woods，before the crowds.He joined several societies and practiced speaking on the topics of the day.A lack of confidence always troubled him.In the presence of women he was shy and dumb.Even when he was in love with Mary Todd，he used to sit there，nervous and silent，unable to find words，listening while she did the talking.Yet that was the man who，by practice and home study，made himself into the speaker who debated with the famous speaker Douglas！That was the man who，in the Gettysburg Address，rose to the heights of eloquence(雄辩)that have seldom been achieved in all of human history.Small wonder that，speaking of his own great barriers and painful struggle，he wrote，“If you are resolutely determined to make a lawyer of yourself，the thing is more than half d one already.”1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Earning a fortune. B．Making a living.C．Asking for advice. D．Becoming a lawyer.2．What is the key point of the fourth paragraph?A．Lincoln's courage.B．Lincoln's position.C．Lincoln's progress.D．Lincoln's eloquence.3．What is the most vital spirit reflected in Lincoln's story above?A．Believing in oneself.B．Keeping on practicing hard.C．Overcoming difficulties.D．Sticking to one's determination.【解题导语】本文主要通过讲述林肯的励志故事启迪读者：无论做什么，只要坚定决心，那就成功了一半以上。

Unit 2 English around the world高考试题一(2014·新课标全国卷II阅读理解C)One of the latest trends (趋势) in American childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, Conn., for example, has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that's true all across the country."I thought it would be very useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age," Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2-year-old son. "I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future." After only six months of being cared for by a 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China: She didn't want her children to miss out on their roots. "Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to (接触) the language and culture," she says."Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom," says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of children. "But parents must understand that just one year with an au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12."The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.29. What does the term "au pair" in the text mean?A. A mother raising her children on her own.B. A child learning a foreign language at home.C. A professor in language education of children.D. A young foreign woman taking care of children.30. Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them .A. to live in China some dayB. to speak the language at homeC. to catch up with other childrenD. to learn about the Chinese culture31. What can we infer from the text?A. Learning Chinese is becoming popular in America.B. Educated women do better in looking after children.C. Chinese au pairs need to improve their English skills.D. Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.【文章大意】本文属于说明文。

It has always been thought that alcohol causes people to put on weight because it contains a lot of sugar, but new research suggests a glass a day cold form part of a diet. Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight; those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, ＂Light to moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain.＂ The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.Boston University’s Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物学机制) relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood. His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿病), which relate to increasing obesity. Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods. They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks, taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight.For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese. What’s mo re, a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol, a compound present in grapes and red winedestroys fat cells.1.The passage is mainly for those_________.A. who produce wineB. who have a drinking habitC. who go on a dietD. who are eager to lose weight2.The underlined phrase＂ in moderation＂ in the first paragraph means _________.A. excitedlyB. carefullyC. frequentlyD. properly3.What can we learn from the passage?A. Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight.B. Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat.C. The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect.D. The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear.4.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. How to do some easy experiments.B. How to reduce the calories contained in wine.C. How to prove the finding mentioned above.D. How to make wine in a healthy way.【文章大意】文章讲述了饮酒和健康的关系，告诉我们适量葡萄酒还会减肥。

Before I studied psychology，I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred.While I was right about that，I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke.When someone laughs at a joke，there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are，the more powerful the joke will be.I was attending a standup comedy show in Egypt，and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets，everyone laughed their heads off.The main reason why those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly.The joke wasn’t only funny，but it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.The better a joke makes a person feel，and the more it includes other psychological factors，the more the person will like it.For example，if you envy one of your friends，and someone tells a joke that is funny and，at the same time，makes your friend seem stupid，then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him.In short，we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke.I strongly discourage you from making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh.All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions，he will certainly like it a lot.【解题导语】本文主要分析了人们笑的原因。

Unit 2 English around the world课时作业Ⅰ.阅读理解(2018·高考全国卷Ⅰ·C)Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years，but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.When the world was still populated by hunter－gatherers，small，tightly knit(联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten million people，they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards，many of those people started settling down to become farmers，and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number.In recent centuries，trade，industrialisation，the development of the nation－state and the spread of universal compulsory education，especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades，all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present，the world has about 6,800 languages.The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven.The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages，often spoken by many people，while hot，wet zones have lots，often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around 200 languages；the Americas about 1,000；Africa 2,400；and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.The median number(中位数)of speakers is a mere 6,000，which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡)，with only a few elderly speakers left.Pick，at random，Busuu in Cameroon(eight remaining speakers)，Chiapaneco in Mexico(150)，Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three)or Wadjigu in Australia(one，with a question－mark)：none of these seemsto have much chance of survival.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

Unit 2 English around the worldⅡ.阅读理解At a recent visit to the beautiful Keukenhof flower gardens in Holland, I learned about the practice of topping. As flowers grow, sometimes the growers cut off the tops of the flowers, which they believe causes the plants to invest more energy into flower growth and less into seed production. The expected result is flower buds that will produce higher quality flowers.This is the same with personal growth. Sometimes when we produce first results in a certain area, it can be helpful to cut them off and throw them away. This can free up energy for a stronger attempt elsewhere instead of settling into the comfort zone of satisfaction with the old results.After running my computer game business for 10 years and generating satisfying results with it, I decided to drop it and leave that field behind. This freed up my energy to focus on my personal development in writing and speaking. If I'd kept running the old busin ess, this would have meant less energy to invest in my new path.It can be difficult to choose the topping approach because you're taking something that's already reasonably satisfying and cutting it out of your life, in the hopes that something even better will grow in its place.Do you want to settle where you are right now? If so, then topping is unnecessary. But if you'd like to do better and believe you have a good shot at improvement, just like the flower growers at Keukenhof, then topping is a sensible practice. To free up time and energy for future growth in new directions, you have to drop the merely satisfactory. This gives you a shot at the truly beautiful.Stepping outside of your comfort zone is by definition an uncomfortable experience, but it can yield a lot more growth than staying put. Though dropping satisfaction to go for more growth is not an easy path to follow, I do find it to be the more beautiful path.1.By using metaphor, the author means that the tops of flowers are.A.personal growthB.his writing and speakingC.a stronger attempt elsewhereD.the first result we produce in a certain area2.If you believe that you “have a good shot at improvement”, you believe that.A.you have a strong ability to improveB.you have a good chance to improveC.you are good at improvingD.you are fond of improving3.The author calls on the readers through the passage to.A.settle where they areB.drop the truly beautifulC.step out of their comfort zoneD.get rid of the uncomfortable experience4.The best title of the passage should be.fort or GrowthB.Personal DevelopmentC.The Topping ApproachD.Flower Gardens in HollandA great w ay to overcome job interview anxiety: begin feeling good about the process! Need help getting there? Here are five killer tips to build your interviewing confidence:Ⅰ. 5One great way to build your job interview confidence is to conduct plenty of research on the company you're applying for, the recruiter （招聘者） and the position offered. If you're able to share the company's background information, you'll undoubtedly catch the interviewer off-guard in a great way!Ⅱ.Locate Sample Interview QuestionsThere are many sample interview questions fl oating around the Internet that can help you evaluate the ty pes of questions you could be asked. 6 Remember， keep all your answers focused on how you c an help the employer!Ⅲ.Practice Often7 You can do this by answerin g questions in front of the mirror to read your own facial expressions and body language. Or have a family member or friend act as the interviewer to help you simulate the actual environment.Ⅳ.Make Sure You Have No “Skeletons”An important step in preparing for your interview is being able to discuss your career history. As you look back over your career，research yourself online to make sure there are no digital skeletons on the Internet that could negatively affect your interview. 8 Therefore, it's up to you to ensure your social networking profiles are professional, or private.Ⅴ.Decide What the Job Is WorthYou may be asked about salary expectations, so it's good to prepare an answer.9 Give the total package some thought before arriving at the interview—and not just the salary.A. Sell Yourself.B. Conduct Research.C. To be more focused and confident, you need to have a positive attitude.D.A great way to build your confidence for the interview is to practice before the big day.E. Remember, compan ies conduct background checks often via search engines.F. Aside from salary, it's important to think about working hours and work-life balance, benefits and much more.G. Take time to review those questions and come up with great answers. Ray continued to spend most free hours working with Dr.Tisman. The two began studyingthe effects of vitamins on babies inside the womb.

(2018 ·惠州高三调研 )Following the crowd may not always be in a person ’s best interest.But new research suggests that teens who get along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health.That ’ s true for both teens and adults. The finding inspired Joseph Allen, a psychologist at theUniversity of Virginia, and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health.So they followed 171 teens, starting when the kids were just 13. They interviewed each one every year for five years ， and also spoke to t hese teens ’ closest friends ，who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships.The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25, 26 and 27. This time, the questionssurveyed each person ’ s overall health. Whenthe researchers analyzed the data, they found a strong connection between a teen ’ s behavior and adult health. Teens whohad close friends grew up to be the healthier adults. Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to close friends also influenced later health. Those who held back their feelings were more likely to be sick as adults. The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences onhealth.Weight ， family income and drug use were all examined. So were mental health issues ， such as anxiety and depression. And in these people ， such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did.Getting along with the crowd may have benefits, says Allen, but there are also drawbacks. Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work. And peer pressure may lead some kids to engage in risky behavior, such as smoking,drinking or using drugs. Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge ，Allen acknowledges.“Finding the right balance is the key. Teens shouldn ’ t lose heart for not finding this easy. ”And, he adds，“Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face. ”【解题导语】研究表示，与朋友较少或许没有朋友的青少年对比，有朋友的青少年在长大后更健康。

Anything they can spare. Tell them that we’re on the edge of starvation. Tell them that your 3-year-old sister can not get off the bed because she’s outgrown her shoes.”In the dark of that night, Gyuri secretly left the camp and walked nearly fourmiles to Deutsch-Wagram, the closest town. He happened upon a house and knocked on the front door. A woman opened that door. She was probably alone, her man far away,fighting in the war, her children asleep in their beds. The 12-year-old pieced together in German exactly what his mother had told him to say.“Come back tomorrow," whispered the woman. The next day, my uncle returned. The woman opened the door with a smile. She piled his hands with bread, clothing, a pair of shoes that her child had outgrown and a pair of socks. The woman had knitted warm socks for my mother. After putting on the socks and shoes that fit, my mother got off the bed in delight. Her ragged shoes were passed on to a younger child who was also living in the camp. They shared their unexpected harvest with the entire camp. It was a quiet celebration of human kindness around Christmastime.In April 1945, my mother, uncle and grandmother were liberated. And it was those very socks and shoes that my mother wore as she walked some 28 miles over two days to Bratislava on her walk to a new life.To the unknown giver, I thank you. In the desperation of a cold and snowy land, when many hearts were closed and death was more likely than life, especially for Jews, you gave them hope and comfort.1.What did Gyuri manage to do on Christmas Eve?A.
