2018-2019学年高中英语 Unit 18 Beauty 课时跟踪练(三)Lesson 2
课时跟踪练(三) Lesson 2 & Lesson 3 — Pre-reading Ⅰ.阅读理解A“Beauty is only skin deep.” This expression means that beauty is only a temporary surface quality. And some beauty products can cause lasting damage that goes far below the surface of the skin.In the United States, many people use sunlight andnonnatural light to darken their skin.Health experts adviseagainst what is called “tanning” because of its links to skincancer.In the African country of Senegal (塞内加尔), some womentake health risks trying to do justthe_opposite.An average beauty supply shop in Dakar has many kinds of skinlightening creams and soaps.The World Health Organization says that 25 percent of Senegalese women use skinlightening products on a usual basis.These products ca n contain chemicals such as mercury (汞), hydroquinone (对苯二酚), etc.These are dangerous ingredients that can cause cancer and possibly other physical damage to the skin.They can actually burn the eyes and skin.Shop worker Adama Diagne advises her visitors to avoid the stronger products that promise fast results.She uses a cream that is made from carrots and not the strong chemical, hydroquinone.She says that it is a personal choice and that no one pressures her.Some women want to be black every day, but for her, she likes to be a shade of brown.Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reason that women all over the world make changes to their appearance.They say they want to look beautiful, to find a husband, or to stand out in a crowd or simply to look great for a special event.This thinking troubles Senegalese filmmaker Khardiata Pouye Sall.So, she made This Color That Bothers Me, a film about the subject of skin lightening.She said, “I used the most shocking images so that wome n would see the dangers.It is hard to understand why a woman says that dark skin is not beautiful.It is in their heads.They want to please a man, to be loved.Or they want to please society, to succeed.”Ms Sall says that the government needs to better control the marketing and saleof skin lightening products.But she adds that education is the best way to persuade people against using them.women ________.A．use sunlight to darken their skinB．try creams to prevent skin cancerC．use products to lighten their skinD．take health risks to become beautiful解析：选C 词义猜测题。
根据第二段的第一句“In the United States, many people use sunlight and nonnatural light to darken their skin.”可推知，塞内加尔的一些女性正好和美国人相反，与“darken their skin”相反。
2．According to Adama Diagne, women shouldn't believe ________.A．beauty is just a personal choiceB．a cream from carrots is healthierC．it is beautiful to be black every dayD．a product can make you beautiful quickly解析：选D 细节理解题。
根据第四段的第一句“Shop worker Adama Diagne advises her visitors to avoid the stronger products that promise fast results.”可知，Adama Diagne不赞同人们用快速见效的美容产品。
3．We can infer that women in Senegal ________.A．attract attention with shocking imagesB．don't consider dark skin to be beautifulC．find it hard to understand the true beautyD．put beauty in their first place in their heads解析：选B 推理判断题。
根据第六段的“It is hard to understand why a woman says that dark skin is not beautiful.”可推知，塞内加尔的女性并不认为黑皮肤是漂亮的。
4．What is Sall's attitude towards skinlightening products?A．Unsupportive. B．Casual.C．Reasonable. D．Positive.解析：选A 推理判断题。
根据第六段的“I used the most shocking images so that women would see the dangers.”以及最后一段的内容可推知，Ms Sall对亮肤产品持不赞成态度。
BGenerally speaking, waiting rooms are always filled with a lot of impatient people.However, a project carried out by The Observer suggests that people regard these spaces as a place of refuge (避难), a window in their tightly scheduled lives.Ella Doroudy, Margate StationWe were at the beach for the day, and now are on our way home.We don't have to wait very long, because we checked the timetable so we got here in time for the train.I just chat with my mates, really, and listen to music until the train comes.Waiting with other people is easier because you can kill time when you're talking about stuff.Caroline Lacey, Streatham Dental CenterI don't really get nervous about seeing the dentist, but since these two fillings (补牙的材料) came out I've been in sharp pain.It's very bright and airy here, so it's quite ually I kill time by reading magazines.I've been coming to the dentist as and when I need to, but now it's got to be regular.Katie Hawkins, Model CastingI was a bit late today, which I'm quite pleased about because some of these girls have been waiting ages.You can't help but look at everyone else a bit —you look at the other girls and think: “I wonder if they'll like her better than they like me.” While I'm waiting, I'm thinking：“Oh come on.I_do_have_a_life！”Paul Thomas, Royal London HospitalI feel pretty indifferent (满不在乎的) while I'm waiting here, to be honest.It's something I've got very used to since my motorbike accident seven years ago, I've had about 32 operations so far.It's no good rushing in thinking you're going to escape in five minutes, so I just sit back and peoplewatch, really.语篇解读：本文是应用文。

Unit 18 BeautyⅠ.阅读理解A(2017·天津卷)Fifteen years ago,I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy.After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea,white buildings and green olive trees,I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately,just as I took out my camera,a woman approached from behind,and planted herself right in front of my view.Like me,this woman was here to stop,sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was,after about 15 minutes,my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take,I grew frustrated.Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape?Sure,I could have asked her,but something prevented me from doing so.She seemed so content in her observation.I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored.The woman was still there.I decided to take the photo anyway.And now when I look at it,I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting.The landscape,beautiful on its own,somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo,with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it,now hangs on a wall in my bedroom.What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall?A bedroom,after all,is a very private space,in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存).In some ways,she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces.Perhaps this is what photos arefor:to remind us that we all appreciate beauty,that we all share a common desire for pleasure,for connection,for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder,a captured moment,an unspoken conversation between two women,separated only by a thin square of glass.1.What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A.Her camera stopped working.B.A woman blocked her view.C.Someone asked her to leave.D.A friend approached from behind.2.According to the author,the woman was probably .A.enjoying herselfB.losing her patienceC.waiting for the sunsetD.thinking about her past3.In the author’s opinion,what makes the photo so alive?A.The rich color of the landscape.B.The perfect positioning of the camera.C.The woman’s existence in the photo.D.The soft sunlight that summer day.4.The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand .A.the need to be close to natureB.the importance of private spaceC.the joy of the vacation in ItalyD.the shared passion for beauty5.The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon .A.a particular life experienceB.the pleasure of travelingC.the art of photographyD.a lost friendship〚导学号07020059〛BCan you be too beautiful?It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother—as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology.Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation—or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?Combing through decades of findings,social psychologists Lisa Slattery Walker and Tonya Frevert at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte have reviewed all the evidence to date and their conclusions are not what you might expect.At the most basic level,beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo(光环)around it;we see that someone has one good quality,and by association,our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too.Even in the courts,a pleasing appearance can work its magic.Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences,or to escape punishment entirely;attractive plaintiffs(原告),meanwhile,are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements.“It’s an effect seen everywhere,” says Walker.。

I had agreed to teach all struggling students in need of critical intervention (介入). I knew what lay ahead — tough work hours overlaid with guilt, consumed with essays that needed feedback and lesson plans with best practice strategies. No wonder people always acknowledge my teaching career with, “I'm_glad_it's_you_and_not_me.〞Suddenly, my mind transported me to my first few years of teaching.“Peter Potter，〞 I called from my name list, trying to control my laughter. “Laughlin McLaughlin？〞 Surely these were not real names.“Emotionally disabled... keeps them separated from the oth er kids...，〞 the vice headmaster commanded. This was my first teaching assignment.Surely this year could never be as discouraging as those first few. In my new classroom, I looked into the face of Jason. At eleven, his mother was killed in an accident, leaving him with physical, academic, and certainly emotional scars. I looked at another student, Robert, standing at the door; my vice headmaster asked if I would take him, even though he was an eleventh grader in my tenth grade class.But then there were — and are — stories of success — of Dustin, in Graduate School for Electrical and Computer Engineering; of Michael, now a teacher in a city school; of Willie... I thought of the thousands of students whose lives have touched mine far more than I could have ever touched theirs.I broke from my daydream, a smile spreading across my face. Sadness, tears, challenges, fears — yes, teaching is filled with all of these — yet, it is also filled with laughter and smiles, hope, dreams, and rewards beyond measure.“I'm glad it's you and not me.〞 Those words resounded in my mind once again.4．What might the author's job be like?A．Easy. B．Boring.C．Interesting. D．Challenging.5．What does the underlined sentence imply?A．These people would like to teach.B．These people did not like the author.C．These people would not want this job.D．These people wanted to learn from the author.6．Why did the author mention Jason and Robert?A．To stress the importance of family education.B．To show her regrets about taking up teaching.C．To express her dissatisfaction with the school.D．To introduce the basic situation of her students.7．How did the author feel thinking of the successful students?A．She was doing a worthwhile job.B．She could never go back to the past.C．She was the inspiration behind the success stories.D．She would never make greater achievements in the future.C[2020·绵阳市第一次诊断]We are what we eat. That is an old expression, but one worth knowing. A recent look at diets around the world shows that people who eat healthy food － and not too much of it － live longer. But which areas of the world have the best diets? Researchers found that foods in some of the healthiest diets －Mediterranean diet, New Nordic diet, Japanese diet and French diet － may be very different, but they are all heavy on local and seasonal foods, which include more vegetables and seafood and less red meat.Mediterranean diet contains lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and olive oil. The diet has proper amounts of fish and poultry (家禽肉). Red meat and foods high in sugar and salt are not big parts of this diet.New Nordic diet has whole grains like oats and rye, vegetables such as carrots, broccoli and eggs, seafood, fruits, oil, lowfat milk and cheese. Sugary desserts are not common in this diet.Japanese people are some of the longest living people on the planet, with women up to 87 years old and men up to 80. The Japanese diet is the reason for such lengths of life. The diet has many foods that are low in calories and high in nutrients. Japanese people eat a lot of seaweed, tofu, rice, vegetables and fish. The tradition there is to stop eating when your stomach feels 80 percent full.However, French people eat fatty foods but do not get fat. And they live a long time. This phenomenon is called the“French Paradox〞. The reason why the French eat fatty foods without getting fat may be simple. They eat less. Serving sizes in French restaurants and of products sold in stores are smaller than those in most countries. And generally speaking, most French people do not snack. This means they do not eat food between meals.8．What do we know about the healthiest diets around the world?A．They contain abundant calories.B．They tend to be expensive.C．They share certain similarities.D．They reflect popular tastes.9．What is considered as a harmful eating habit in Japanese tradition?A．Going low in calories.B．Eating to the fullest.C．Having much seafood.D．Picking many foods.10．How does the author develop the central idea in the last 4 paragraphs?A．By building connections.B．By exploring reasons.C．By listing examples.D．By analyzing figures.11．Which can be the most suitable title for the text?A．What is the healthiest diet on earth?B．How does the old expression serve?C．Why is a healthy diet so important?D．Where can we feed ourselves well?D[2020·福建三校联考]“While extroverts (性格外向者) often make great first impressions with their outgoing manner and lively personalities in interviews, their value and reputation at work diminish (缩减) over time，〞 says Corinne Bendersky, an associate professor of management.“Extroverts disappoint us over time when they're part of a team，〞 Bendersky says. “On a team you're expected to work hard and contribute a lot. But they're often poor listeners, and they don't collaborate.〞“O n the other hand, introverts (性格内向者) work hard on a team because they care what others think of them. They don't want to be seen as not pulling_their_weight or contributing 100%，〞 Bendersky says.So while companies may be attracted to hiring extroverts because they impressmanagers greatly in job interviews, bosses also may want to consider whether the extrovert they are considering will be a valuable team player, Bendersky says.Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers, agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted employees, such as their ability to put themselves in someone else's shoes.“These team members are often easygoing, which can make them exceptional mentors to more junior staff or particularly good sounding boards when you interact with them in oneonone situations，〞 Su says.“Managers must try to help introverts find their voice，〞Wilkins says. “Help them see that speaking up is not about selfpromotion or being in conflict but rather about offering the team key insights, making better decisions or increasing the efficiency for all.〞What about those extroverts who never seem to be at a loss for words? Should managers cut them off? Managers definitely should weigh in on how an extrovert is affecting others.
