限时规范练2(必修1Unit2)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、语言学习的素养能力意识一、阅读理解AI did some research and examined how British English and American English changed between the 1930s and the 2000s.Take spelling,for example — towards the 1960s it looked like the UK was going in the direction of not using the “u” in “colour” and writing “centre” as “center”.But since then,the British have become more confident in some of their own spellings.In the 2000s,the UK used an American spelling choice about 11% of the time while Americans use a British one about 10% of the time.There is also no need to worry too much about American words,such as “vacation”,“liquor” and “lawmaker” entering British English.There are a few examples of this kind of vocabulary change but they are mostly uncommon words and are not likely to change British English too much.The British are still using “mum” rather than “mom” and “petrol” rather than “gas”.But when we start thinking of language more in terms of style than vocabulary or spelling,a different picture appears.Some of the bigger trends in American English are moving towards a freer use oflanguage.American sentences are on average one word shorter in 2006 than they were in 1931.Americans also use a lot more apostrophes (撇号) in their writing than they used to,which has the effect of turning the two words “do not” into the single “don’t”.“The hand of the king”becomes the shorter “The king’s hand”.However,in all these ways Brits are changing too — and in the same way as Americans.They’re just about 30 years behind the trend that Americans seem to be leading.So this raises a question,is British English actively following American English or is this something that is simply a natural trend in language use? Perhaps the British would have gone in that direction even if America had never been discovered? I’d like to agree with the second idea but because of the fact that British people learn plenty of American language through different ways,I think the first is more correct.1.What did the British do in the 1960s?A.They used some American spellings.B.They built up confidence in their language.C.They did research on language differences.D.They went in the direction of harder spellings.2.What does the author try to show by using examples like “petrol”?A.British English has changed a lot.B.Some uncommon words are used less often.C.American words are entering British English.D.American spelling won’t change British English too much.3.Which of the following is a trend of American English?A.It is using shorter words.B.It is turning to proper grammar.C.It is trying to make sentences simpler.D.It is avoiding using apostrophes.4.Which of the following is the author’s opinion about the languages?A.American English is going the wrong way.B.British English is following American English’s example.C.American English is borrowing a lot from British English.nguages wouldn’t change much if America was not discovered.BAfter teaching for 35 years in the North Shore school district,I retired and agreed to teach English to immigrants at the Glen Cove Library two nights a week.It’s been a joy!I started with three students,got as many as 10,but now have settled on what I call “the fantastic five”. They range in age from 23 to 65,one man and four women.They’ve come from El Salvador,Peru,Honduras,Colombia and the Dominican Republic.With one exception,they are married,have children,and are working.Their responsibilities leave them with little free time,but they faithfully come to class.The students always make me smile.On the first day,I asked what surprising things they had discovered about America.Isabelle,from Peru,thought for a moment and then said,“You Americans all stop at red lights!”Blanca,a student from Honduras,arrives with her three young children.Actually,they arrive first,running in,waving to me as they dash to the children’s room as their often-exhausted mother trudges in behind.Blanca’s kids are adorable.I keep forgetting their names,soI call them Blanco,Blanki and Blankette.They giggle at this and their mom smiles.I’ve been asked by friends whether I know the students’immigration stories.I don’t ask.I’m here to help them learn English.Their lives often are not easy.Over the past year,one woman got divorced,and another’s husband suffered a stroke.A third’s husband,a truck driver,was in a horrific accident that left him homebound for more than nine months.But,these students rarely missa class.5.What can we know about the students?A.They are all women over 23.B.They have children and jobs.C.They are a big trouble for the teacher.D.They are busy and miss classes regularly.6.What can we learn about Blanca?A.She is from Peru and has three children.B.She doesn’t like the names the author gives.C.She is respectable to educate her children well.D.She is surprised at Americans’ running red lights.7.What does the underlined word “trudges” probably mean?A.Walk heavily.B.Run quickly.C.Wave unwillingly.D.Dash slowly.8.How does the author feel about the teaching job?A.Tired.B.Helpless.C.Delighted.D.Regretful.二、完形填空A dog found swimming more than 220 kilometers off the coast of Thailand has been returned safely to land.Late last week,workers on an oil rig(石油钻塔) noticed the animal,all 1,in the water.It began 2 toward the side of the structure.The dog was able to get itself onto a solid area.He appeared3,cold and fearful.The workers 4 a rope and secured it around the dog.Then,they worked together to 5 the animal up to safety.The crew that6 the dog quickly gave their new friend a7:Boonrod.The name means something 8 to “survivor” in the Thai language.One of those9was Vitisak Payalaw.He has been 10 updates on Boonrod on his Facebook page.He said it was 11 that the crew noticed the dog in the water.If there had been waves,he said,the animal 12 would not have been seen.No one knows how Boonrod13 all alone at sea,or how long he had been out there.But Vitisak and others have suggested the animal might have fallen off a fishing 14.On Monday,Boonrod arrived on dry15.A team of animal doctors was 16 him in the southern Thai province of Songkhla.Workers at the Songkhla port also 17 the dog with neck rubs and a special “welcome” necklace made of yellow flowers.Many people took 18with Boonrod.Vitisak says that if no one19Boonrod as their pet,he will 20 him with him to his home in northeast Thailand.1.A.alone B.deadC.mobileD.private2.A.dashing B.divingC.jumpingD.swimming3.A.blind B.safeC.tiredD.vague4.A.caught B.loweredC.importedD.preserved5.A.balance B.deliverC.pullD.swing6.A.found B.lostC.abandonedD.treated7.A.home C.partnerD.testeful B.responsibleC.similarD.vital9.A.animals B.friendsC.doctorsD.workers10.A.avoiding B.providingC.downloadingD.subscribing11.A.awful B.curiousC.luckyD.unique12.A.likely B.personallyC.slightlyD.absolutely13.A.ended up B.led toC.moved offD.took apart14.A.thread B.pondC.hookD.boat15.A.carpet ndC.passageD.nest16.A.caring about B.dealing withC.turning toD.waiting for17.A.assessed B.confirmedC.welcomedD.supported18.A.goods B.picturesC.flowersD.gifts19.A.adopt B.employC.recogniseD.guarantee20.A.acquire B.holdC.removeD.take三、短文改错I still remember last year when a new student came to our class.Her name is Liu Kun,which was very weak in English.He became less interested it and almost gave up.As soon as I found he has a problem,I had a talk with him about what to learn English.Since then,I’ve kept help him and with my help,his English level has been improving little to little.He was very happy and thankfully tome.From this,I learned we should try to help others when they are in the trouble.It’s really a good things to help others.参考答案限时规范练2(必修1Unit2)一、【篇章导读】本文是议论文。

课时作业(二)Ⅰ.阅读理解[2017·江西南昌摸底]When it comes to the choice of books，I always manage to find a hidden jewel or two，which led to my journey to Earthsea.Ursula K．Le Guin has her own voice in fantasy literature—that's something I had to admit as soon as I passed the first page.She doesn't imitate anybody—she is herself.I followed Ged's adventures and his gradual transformation from a wild and proud kid into a wise，powerful wizard.A Wizard of Earthsea begins in Ged's own village where he，a kid of 7，learns his first magic from his aunt.Five years later he starts to learn from Ogion the Wizard.But Ogion teaches him patience—not magic—so Ged leaves him and sails to the island of Roke to learn the art in a real School of Magic.There the boy is so proud that he plays with forbidden spells(咒语)—he frees into this world a terrible shadow that horns the land of the dead，leading to the death of Nemmerle，the head of the school.Now Ged must try to overcome this shadow before it controls him.Finally，Ged guesses its secret and saves the world—and himself—from a terrible danger.He knows now the patience is indeed the greatest of arts，and names Ogion his only true master.Ursula K．Le Guin makes every word sing—her language is more poetic than poetry and more musical than some music.She draws the reader's attention without effort.She's made me want to try my own hand at fantasy—and I might one day.1．The author considers Ursula K．Le Guin's writing style________.A．traditional B．ordinaryC．special D．serious2．Which of the following causes the tragedy at the School of Magic?A．Ged's rudeness. B．Ged's pride.C．Ged's shyness. D．Ged's curiosity.3．At the end of the story，Ged feels most grateful to________.A．his aunt B．the shadowC．Nemmerle D．Ogion4．What can we learn about the author?A．She works in a bookstore.B．She got a real jewel recently.C．She met Ursula K．Le Guin in Earthsea.D．She may write fantasy stories some day.答案：[解题导语]本文为记叙文。
