限时规范练40(模块八Unit2)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与自我、国家国际的素养能力意识一、阅读理解AGrowing up in my household meant often hearing live music.When I was six years old,I took a traditional Irish step dance class.I fell in love and stuck with it for the next seven years.During that time my father also became more involved in the Irish music world,so he would play,and I would dance.My ethnic heritage (族裔归属) is German and Irish,but because I was surrounded by traditional Irish music and dance in my home,I have grown to be more interested in and connected to my Irish heritage.When I started interning (实习) for the Folklife Festival,I became interested in traditional Basque music and dance and I learned that their experience with dance is very similar to my own.There are so far over 170 Basque organizations in 24 countries,with a greater population of Basques outside of the Basque country than in it.The separation they experience from their homeland is both physical and psychological,so being part of a group with the same interests is an important social support system.These organizations contribute to the continuation of Basque culture,language,and community,and encourage future generations to learn about their ethnic heritage.One of the ways through which they achieve this is dance.While learning and performing Basque dances,they connect to their heritage,experience a part of their homeland,preserve Basque culture,and create connections and friendships that last a lifetime.Californian Valerie Arrechea began teaching alongside her father at the age of thirteen and on her own at sixteen.For her,dance is her preferred expression of heritage;it provides a way to be proud of her Basque heritage.The dance performances of North American Basque organizations have developed the interest of non-Basque Americans as well.Janet Iribarne from the Basque Dancers explained that their organization is open to anyone,and after seeing her group perform,several of her non-Basque friends have developed their own love of Basque traditions as well.1.What is the reason for the author’s preference for Irish dance?A.Her dance teacher.B.Her love of Irish music.C.Her interning experience.D.Her family’s strong root in dance.2.What do we know about Basque people?A.Most of them live abroad.B.Their culture is being lost.C.They live in poor conditions.D.Their population is increasing.3.What is the purpose of Basque organizations?A.To help Basques in need.B.To preserve Basque culture.C.To provide medical treatment for Basques.D.To support overseas Basque children for education.4.What’s non-Basque Americans’ attitude towards Basque dance?A.They show no interest in it.B.They find it difficult to learn.C.They are enthusiastic about it.D.They are concerned about its future.BClimate change,not human hunting,may have wiped out the thylacine (袋狼),according to a new study based on DNA from thylacine bones.The meat-eating marsupials (有袋动物) died out on mainland Australia a few thousand years ago,but survived in Tasmania,an island of southeast Australia separated from the mainland,until the 1930s.Until now,scientists had believed the cause of this mainland extinction was increased activity from native Australians and dingoes (Australian wild dogs).Scientists behind the University of Adelaide study,which was published in the Journal of Biogeography on Thursday,collected 51 new thylacine DNA samples from fossil bones and museum skins — the largest data set of thylacine DNA to date.The paper concluded that climate change starting about 4,000 years ago — in particular drier seasons caused by the weather systems known as El Nino-Southern Oscillation — was likely the main cause of the mainland extinction.The ancient DNA showed that the mainland extinction of thylacines was rapid,and not the result of loss of genetic diversity.There was also evidence of a population crash in thylacines in Tasmania at the same period of time,reducing their numbers and genetic diversity.Associate Professor Jeremy Austin,deputy director of the University’s Australian Centre for Ancient DNA,said Tasmania would have been protected from mainland Australia’s warmer,drier climate due to its higher rainfall.He argued that climate change was “the only thing that could have caused,or at least started,an extinction on the mainland and caused a population crash in Tasmania.”“They both occurred at about the same time,and the other two things that have been talked about in the past that may have driven thylacines to extinction on the mainland were dingoes and humans.So the only explanation that’s left is climate change.And because that population crash happened at the same time that the species went extinct on the mainland,our argument is there’s a common theme there and the only common theme that’s there is this change in climate.”5.What happened to thylacines in the 1930s?A.They died out on mainland Australia.B.They were hunted in large numbers.C.They survived in Tasmania.D.They were no longer seen.6.What did scientists believe before the University of Adelaide study?A.Marsupials were all meat-eating animals.B.Dingoes should be removed from Australia.C.Thylacines had no enemies on mainland Australia.D.Native people were responsible for the extinction of thylacines.7.What’s the difference between mainland Australia and Tasmania?A.Tasmania has more dingoes.B.Tasmania has more wet days.C.Tasmania has a higher temperature.D.Tasmania has more native Australians.8.What’s the best title for the text?A.DNA is playing an important roleB.Climate change led to thylacines’ disappearanceC.Australian animals are facing a population crashD.Native Australians and dingoes were misunderstood二、完形填空I was fifteen and a high

限时规范练37(模块七Unit3)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、了解世界节日的思维意识一、阅读理解AFebruary was a hard month for Internet-connected toys.First,Germany stopped the sale of My Friend Cayla.The German government believed that hackers (电脑黑客) could use the talking toy to get information on kids.Then puter users learned that CloudPets,made by Spiral Toys,had a problem.The toy’s Internet connection allows users to send and receive voice puter experts discovered that CloudPets’ database was not safe.The private information of more than 820,000 users was at risk of being stolen.Computer hackers didn’t only hit toys.Many big companies in the U.S.have also been hacked.The hits showed emails,card numbers,fingerprints,and other private information.Experts are looking for ways to fight hackers.Kids are joining the fight and getting ready to lead.The organizers of CyberPatriot see the advantages of getting an early start in cybersecurity (网络安全).In 2016,69,000 students took part in the cyber-education program.Its goal is to encourage kids to make achievements in cybersecurity and in STEM fields,including science and technology.CyberPatriot’s central project is the yearly National Youth Cyber Defense Competition.Winners receive some money to help pay for their education.The competition takes place over severalmonths.Student teams manage the computer network at a fictional company.They must find and fix its security problems.From April 3 to 5,the nation’s top teams competed in the finals,in Baltimore,Maryland.Team Error 37,from Summit Lakes Middle School,in Lee’s Summit,Missouri,won the middle school group.“There will be a lot of jobs that require cybersecurity knowledge,” said team member Keenan Curp,13.Arjun Pratap Ghoshal,13,also competed in Baltimore.He was the leader of a team from Oak Valley Middle School,in San Diego,California.“We have to teach kids around us about cybersecurity,” he says,“so that we can prevent harmful hacking.”1.Why was February hard for My Friend Cayla?A.It was less popular among kids.B.It was taken off the market.C.It couldn’t provide information for kids.D.It couldn’t be connected to the Internet.2.What was the problem with CloudPets?A.Their database was in danger.B.Their information was missing.C.Their Internet connection didn’t work.D.Their users couldn’t send voice messages.3.What’s the purpose of CyberPatriot?A.To get kids to work with scientists.B.To teach kids how to fix computers.C.To keep kids away from computers.D.To educate kids about cybersecurity.BThe mind of an elephant should not be underestimated.They are intelligent animals born with both excellent memory and artistic talent.Elephants eat about 495 pounds of vegetarian food a day.They spend about 16 hours a day eating,but must walk about 4 miles a day in search of food.The average elephant lives about 70 years,and its sharp memory allows it to remember places where it has found food as long as 30 years earlier,even as a baby.In an elephant’s travels,it comes across other elephants also looking for food.Some elephants are friendly,and some are not so nice.Elephants remember every elephant they have ever met.They can even recognize an elephant they perhaps haven’t seen for 30 years.They immediately remember whether this elephant is an enemy or a friend.When elephants are not searching for food,they sometimes produce art in the sand with their trunks (象鼻).They seem to enjoy just relaxing and painting in the sand.One day,an elephant zoo-keeper noticed this and gave an elephant a paint brush filled with red paint to see if the elephant would paint on a canvas (画布).Sure enough,it did,and since then elephants in most zoos have been given paint brushes,paints,and canvases.The resulting abstract art has been sold for high prices around the world.The money goes to support feeding the elephants in the zoos.Most felt that the elephants were only capable of painting abstracts.However,they have been trained to paint trees,flowers,and other things in nature.This has enabled us to understand “elephant genius” even more.4.What does the underlined word “underestimated” mean?A.Mistaken.B.Controlled.C.Undervalued.D.Underdeveloped.5.What can we learn about elephants’ memory?A.It remains excellent for 70 years.B.It differs greatly among elephants.C.It is at its best in the first 30 years.D.It can reach as far back as 30 years.6.Why did the zoo-keeper give the elephant a brush?A.To attract visitors to it.B.To train it to paint pictures.C.To prove it was a born artist.D.To find out whether it could draw.7.Which can best describe elephants according to the text?A.Really brave.B.Highly smart.C.Unusually quiet.D.Extremely friendly.二、七选五In this fast-paced life,it’s hard to find the time to cook.But cooking for other people can be fun and beneficial because it comes with some positive psychological benefits.1.Performing an act for another human being,like cooking for them,is a form of selflessness.And it can make people feel happy and connected to others.Cooking is a form of nurturing(养育).When it comes to cooking,you are feeding someone,which is necessary for survival.Cooking for others is nurturing.2.Cooking can create bonds.If you’re cooking for someone,even if they’re not present during the act,it can absolutely bring a sense of closeness in that you’re expressing your love and care for someone.3.And cooking for others helps us build and strengthen those connections.4.Not only does cooking for yourself help you eat more healthfully,but it also sends yourself a message that you are important.Cooking can also help raise your confidence.Cooking is a practice of mindfulness.Cooking can encourage us to really focus.5:walk away for a minute and you can burn the onions;check in with your phone and your water can overflow.Cooking brings us together,and it continues to create communities — and with community comes feelings of connection and happiness.Now all you have to do is find the time to add cooking into your busy life.A.Making connections is one of human’s basic needsB.If you lose your focus things can easily go wrongC.It can provide a means for social acceptanceD.Cooking can strengthen your knowledgeE.Cooking for others is a selfless actF.It is helping to keep them aliveG.Cooking is a form of self-care三、语法填空A bone thought to belong 1. St.Nicholas,the fourth-century saint (圣徒) on whom the legend of Father Christmas is based,has been dated by Oxford University.Scientists used a radio carbon test to date the relic,and 2. (find) it dates from the time of the saint,who is believed to have died around 343 AD.While the 3. (result) of the tests do not provide proof that the bone is his,it does tie the relic to the same era.According to the Oxford team,this is the first test 4. (do) on the bones.“Many relics that we study turn out to date to a period rather 5. (late) than the historic statements would suggest,” said Professor Tom Higham,director of the Oxford Relics Cluster at Keble College’s Advanced Studies Centre.“This bone,in contrast,suggests that we could 6. (possible) be looking at remains from St.Nicholas himself.”Dr Georges Kazan,another director of the Oxford Relics Cluster,said,“These findings encourage us 7. (attempt) to show that the bone remains are from the same individual.”“It is 8. (excite) to think that these relics,9. date from such an ancient time,could be genuine.”St.Nicholas is thought to have lived in Myra (modern-day Turkey).He is one of 10.most respected of the saints,and was famed for his generosity.限时规范练37(模块七Unit3)一、【篇章导读】本文是新闻报道。

It’s green! The sun is out;there are some clouds.”So he stopped his car,pulled out his camera,and took a few photos.Those perfect greens and pure blues were totally unedited when O’Rear posted them on Corbis,a site created by Bill Gates.A few yearslater,O’Rear got a call from Microsoft asking to use his photo of Sonoma County as the background for its newest operating system.The company never told O’Rear exactly why they chose his photograph.“Were they looking for a picture that was peaceful?” he wondered.But artists Goldin and Senneby,who spent months researching the photograph,said that Microsoft “wanted a picture with ‘more grounding’ than the pictures of skies they had used in Windows 95.”O’Rear agreed to sell Microsoft all the rights to his photograph.But Microsoft had valued the photo so highly that none of the shipping companies could cover the insurance.In the end,O’Rear boarded a plane to deliver the photo himself.Microsoft named it “Bliss”,and,since Windows XP met the public in 2001,it’s been seen by at leasta billion people.4.O’Rear took “Bliss”.A.on a business trip to San FranciscoB.on a trip to visit his then-girlfriendC.when he was on holiday with his wifeD.when he was looking for beautiful hills5.According to Goldin and Senneby,why did Microsoft choose O’Rear’s photo?A.The picture was peaceful.B.The picture was of high value.C.There was more grounding in this picture.D.The green grass fit perfectly with the blue sky.6.How was the photo sent to Microsoft?A.O’Rear carried it all the way there.B.It was sent by an insurance company.C.It was delivered by a shipping company.D.Microsoft sent a plane to get it from O’Rear’s home.7.What can we learn about “Bliss” from the text?A.It has been used for about 30 years.B.It was edited before being sent to Microsoft.C.The green ground in it used to be covered with grapevines.D.More and more people choose it as their desktop backgrounds.二、七选五A ray of sunlight makes its way through the leaves and lights up a new day for all kinds of animals.The rainforest is waking up.Racing for LightRainforests are plentiful,warm,and wet habitats.1,because they have to compete with other plants for sunlight.2.The emergent layer (露生层) is made up of the very tallest trees.In the next layer,the canopy (冠层),the leaves of the trees all touch one another.Most animals in the rainforest live in the canopy.The layer below the canopy is called the understory.Small trees and plants that do not need much light grow here.The last layer is the forest floor where only a few plants grow because it’s so dark.Famous RainforestsThere are rainforests in Africa,Asia,Australia,and Central and South America.3.More than half of it is in Brazil,but parts are in several other South American countries.The next biggest rainforest is in Congo.Water CycleTrees and other plants let water out into the atmosphere — then the water falls back to earth as rain.Rainforest trees can give out a lot of water,up to 200 gallons each year.4,so it is always warm and wet.Rainforests help to stabilize the climate of the world.5.That’s good because too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can make the planet too warm.A.The rainforest has four layersB.Trees in the rainforest grow very tallC.Rainforests can be considered destroyedD.The biggest rainforest is the Amazon rainforestE.The tallest trees block the light from the trees belowF.They not only make rain but also take in carbon dioxideG.The water forms a thick cloud-cover over the rainforest三、语法填空Food,water,and shelter 1.

限时规范练25(模块五Unit1A)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、了解未来生活的思维意识一、阅读理解AThe Red Bicycle is a storybook about a bicycle’s journey from North America to the countryside in West Africa.The full name of the book is The Red Bicycle:The Extraordinary Story of One Ordinary Bicycle,and was written by Jude Isabella from Canada.Leo wants a bike,not just any bike but a red one.He makes money by doing part-time jobs until he has enough money to buy it.He loves his new bike and names it Big Red.He rides Big Red everywhere for many years until he is finally too big for it.Because he has taken such good care of the bike,it looks almost new.He wants to give the bike to someone who really needs it,and will love it the way he does.Leo learns about a charity that sends donated bikes to people in Africa.When Big Red arrives in Africa,the bike finds a new owner,a young girl named Alisetta.She learns to ride Big Red and uses it to help her family on their farm.She also rides Big Red to the market to sell goods that her grandmother made.She earns money so her sister can go to school.Alisetta earns enough money to buy another bike.But while she is gone,Big Red is destroyed by a pig.A worker from a hospital then takes Big Red,repairs it,and turns it into an ambulance.Then,a young woman,named Haridata,uses the bike to bring sick people to the hospital.What a wonderful journey the bicycle takes and what a useful life it has.The Red Bicycle is a great story.It will inspire children from around the world to help others,and do something as simple as donating their bikes to a charity.1.What is The Red Bicycle about?A.A bicycle making a difference to many people’s lives.B.Leo’s journey from North America to West Africa.C.Jude Isabella’s travel experience in Canada.D.A global journey on a red bicycle.2.How does Leo get his bike?A.He gets it from a charity.B.He borrows it from others.C.He buys it by saving money.D.He receives it through a donation.3.What happens to the red bicycle after Alisetta buys a new one?A.It is brought to patients who need it.B.It is turned into an ambulance.C.It is damaged by her sister.D.It is fixed by Haridata.BFor all those who agree with Neil Gaiman’s motto in American Gods that “a town isn’t a town without a bookstore,” what might be the perfect holiday choice has just been listed on Airbnb:the chance to become a bookseller for a week or two.For the total cost of ￡150 a week,guests at The Open Book in Wigtown,Scotland’s national book town,will be expected to sell books for 40 hours a week while living in the flat above the shop.Given training in bookselling from Wigtown’s community of booksellers,they will also have the chance to put their “own stamp” on the store while they’re there.“The Open Book’s aim is to celebrate bookshops,encourage education in running independent bookshops and welcome people around the world to Scotland’s national book town,” says the Airbnb listing.The Open Book is leased (出租) by the Wigtown Book Festival from a local anisers have been letting paying volunteers run the shop for a week or two at a time,and opened the experience up to the world at large.“I wouldn’t call it a working holiday,” said Adrian Turpin,director of the Wigtown Book Festival.“It’s not about cheap labour (体力劳动) — it’s about offering people an experience.” The money is “just necessary to cover our costs,” said Turpin,admitting that “it can be a hard life,selling books in a small town,so it’s not a holiday for everybody.”“I think the shop would have closed,without this,” he said.“So part of the idea was to get new people in — people who would hopefully end up having a good time and a long-standing relationship with the town.”The idea comes at a difficult moment for independent booksellers.In 2005,there were 1,535 independent bookshops in the UK,with the number dropping to 939 by 2014.So far,The Open Book has been leased around 10 times,with guests including those from The Bookshop Band,a librarian from Portland,a Dutch government employee,and an 80-year-old couple.4.What does Airbnb offer?A.Neil Gaiman’s books.B.Mottos of famous people.C.A chance to run a bookstore.D.A holiday trip to small towns.5.What can be learned about The Open Book?A.It costs ￡150 every day.B.It aims to develop bookstores.C.It offers a free flat for customers.D.It requires booksellers with selling skills.6.What’s Adrian Turpin’s opinion on the Wigtown Book Festival?A.It’s an awful experience.B.It should raise its charges.C.It has saved the bookstore.D.It’s a festival for everyone.7.What’s the present situation of The Open Book?A.It faces a difficult time.B.It attracts various people.C.It has never been leased yet.D.It has set up a community nearby.二、七选五Being a superhero to othersEwan Drum has always liked superheroes.He likes how they help people.At age seven,he told his parents,“I want to dress up like a superhero and help the homeless.”1 Wearing his red superhero cape (斗篷),Ewan helped pass out 70 bag lunches to hungry people in a park in Detroit,Michigan.That’s how Super Ewan was born.2 People donated money and supplies,and Ewan took them to those in need.When someone donated jugs of water,Ewan and his family drove their car to get even more.They took the water to Flint,Michigan,a city that had unsafe drinking water.Another time,a businessman donated six turkeys for Thanksgiving.3“In the

限时规范练27(模块五Unit2A)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与科学、学习伟大科学家的思维意识一、阅读理解AGeorge Washington Carver was born sometime in the early mid-1860s.A sickly child,Carver was unable to work in the fields,so he did gardening.He was left with many free hours to walk in the woods—beginning his career with nature.He soon became known as the “Plant Doctor” and would help friends and neighbors manage sick plants.In 1890,Carver began to study music and art at Simpson College.His artwork was on show at the 1893 World’s Fair.Painting gave him the chance to combine his two loves—art and nature.Yet it was his talents for gardening that took him in another direction in 1891.Carver became the first African-American to attend what is today Iowa State University.He proved to be a first-class student and upon graduation he became the school’s first African-American teacher.In 1896,he received an invitation from Tuskegee Normal and Industrial School inTuskegee,Alabama.Upon arriving,he found that the school was short of money so Dr.Carver had to equip his own lab.He and his students would search trash heaps (垃圾堆) for things to use.This proved thatDr.Carver was well ahead of his time.In 1916,he published a research report on peanuts,which helped many farmers turn to peanuts as a cash crop and saved the economy of the South when it was destroyed by the cotton insects attack.Carver continued his research with the peanut.He went on to find many uses for the peanut.But he didn’t invent peanut butter (花生酱).Dr.Carver’s research earned him much worldwide praise.Dr.George Washington Carver died on January 5,1943,and was buried at Tuskegee.Carver contributed his whole life savings to Tuskegee.Upon his death,Franklin D.Roosevelt gave him this title “an inspiring example to youth everywhere”.1.How was Carver’s childhood?A.He dreamed of being a doctor.B.He grew crops in the fields.C.He enjoyed good health.D.He took up gardening.2.How was Carver’s performance during his education?A.Bad.B.Strange.C.Ordinary.D.Excellent.3.What do we know about Carver’s life in Tuskegee Normal and Industrial School?A.He was well paid by the school.B.He relied on himself to build his lab.C.He saved money by picking up trash.D.He published his findings ahead of time.BIn the past few weeks Richard Eckersley has noticed a change in people who come into his shop.The previous Manchester United footballer,who turned his back on the game to set up the UK’s first “zero waste” store on Totnes High Street in Devon,says it is no longer only environmentalists who camein,looking for a cleaner way to shop.“A lot of new people are coming in.We are getting calls every week from around the country from people wanting to set up something similar in their towns,” says Eckersley,who set up the Earth.Food.Love shop with his wife Nicola in March 2017.More than 200 miles away,Ingrid Caldironi shares the enthusiasm.She set up the plastic-free Bulk Market in east London.“We have had an amazing response,” she says.Eckersley and Caldironi are at the head of an anti-plastic movement in the UK that has been fuelled by newspaper investigations including The Guardian’s Bottling It series and The Blue Planet television series.But their enthusiasm is not shared by big supermarkets,which have no interest in reducing their plastic waste.“For a nation of shopkeepers we are falling behind in this race,” says Sian Sutherland,founder of the campaign A Plastic Planet which led the calls for plastic-free goods shelves.Wandering through supermarkets where everything is covered in plastic,Sutherland says action rather than words is needed.Her co-founder Frederikke Magnussen explains the origins of their campaign.“It started with twounreasonable women who wanted choice — and supermarkets are all about choice,right? I can buy sugar-free,fat-free,African food,Asian food,yet if I want to buy plastic-free it is impossible for me to do so.”Eckersley says,“After Willow,my daughter,was born,it made me think about what future lies ahead for her.I wanted to say that I at least tried,and I wanted to make a difference.”4.What has happened to Richard Eckersley’s business?A.It has spread worldwide.B.It is attracting large numbers of customers.C.It has received many complaints about its goods.D.It is facing fierce competition from other similar stores.5.What do we know about Ingrid Caldironi?A.She lost money on her business.B.She built a plastic-free store in Devon.C.She had little interest in waste reduction.D.She took part in an anti-plastic movement.6.How have big supermarkets reacted to the plastic-free idea?A.They are giving up their original ideas.B.They are offering more choice.C.They show little concern for it.D.They support it.7.What led to the campaign A Plastic Planet?A.Customers’ need for plastic-free goods.B.Plastic coverings in supermarkets.C.The Blue Planet television series.D.Richard Eckersley’s store.二、七选五From the time my kids were little I was determined to teach them the value of a dollar.1If they didn’t do their chores,they didn’t get their allowance (零花钱).And if they didn’t have money,they couldn’t buy anything.It’s kind of like real life.There was only one problem — me.2And then,when they occasionally would want to buy something that they couldn’t quite afford,I would sometimes let them borrow from the next week’s allowance.But then I’d forget how much they’d borrowed and we’d end up arguing about just how much I owed them.3Obviously I’m not alone — both in wanting to teach my kids financial responsibility and in needing help.4Gregg Murset,a financial planner who has six kids of his own,created MyjobChart — a website that helps you keep track of the jobs your kids are doing and determine how much they’re owed.5 My 22-year-old daughter recently explained how her emergency fund,built up by saving financial gifts and working during school,allowed her to live independently while continuing her education.So perhaps the thing to remember is that kids learn about handling money from theirparents.Save,spend responsibly and try to explain why and they might just end up getting the message.A.In short,I was an unsuccessful banker.B.It is helpful in teaching my kids about money.C.I’d forget to check whether they’d completed their chores.D.So I set up the reward system and record their required chores.E.The kids can sign in and record when they’ve completed their work.F.So I gave them chores and an allowance when they were relatively young.G.Now some parents working on technologies have come up with ways to solve this problem.三、语法填空Climate scientists from the University of Sydney in Australia say tourism causes over 8% of greenhouse gases.Their study looked at the carbon footprints of many 1.

限时规范练4(模块一Unit2B)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与自然、关爱动物的素养能力意识一、阅读理解ADog owners who lived near Chicago’s Soldier Field knew how to watch out for the coyote (草原狼).The wild,doglike animal lived somewhere among the tall buildings near the football stadium.As the sun went down each evening,the coyote would lie in the grass next to a parking lot,waiting.Within his view,people walked their dogs along a bike trail.Each night,the coyote would charge at the first dog to come along.Dr.Stanley Gehrt,a scientist at the Ohio State University,led the team that solved the problem.Besides studying coyotes,he and his co-workers taught people ways to avoid problems with coyotes.In short,he says,“Don’t feed them,and manage your pets.”The secret to the coyote’s success is intelligence.To survive in the wild,a coyote must hunt small animals,and avoid becoming a meal for wolves or bears.“This way of living creates a super-smart animal,”Dr.Gehrt says.One of the smartest changes coyotes made was to hide during the day and come out mainly at night in the city.Coyotes have also learned to avoid their biggest killer:cars.One coyote has been seen sitting patiently at a busy crossroads.She may not know how traffic lights work,but she has learned that the cars will soon stop long enough for her to cross the street.The male (雄性的) that charged at passing dogs near Soldier Field is an example.Dr.Gehrt and his co-workers had already been watching the coyote for months,and the animal had always avoided dogs.But now he and his mate had a home with young coyotes on top of the parking lot nearby.He was charging at the dogs to protect his family.The researchers solved the problem.When the coyote pair appeared in the evening,they ran toward them,shouting and shaking a noisemaker—a coffee can with coins rattling (发出咔嗒咔嗒的声音) inside.“Usually,that’s all you have to do,”Dr.Gehrt says.“You do it once,and you’ll never see that coyote again.” Finally,the coyote pair moved out of the parking lot.1.What troubled the dog owners living near Soldier Field?A.Their dogs being attacked by the coyote.B.Their outdoor play being lessened.C.Limited space to walk their dogs.D.Increasingly heavy traffic.2.What did the researchers find out about city coyotes?A.They were not as smart as dogs.B.They were getting used to city life.C.They needed more care from people.D.They usually hunted during the day.3.How did the researchers solve the problem with the coyote pair?A.By frightening them away.B.By throwing cans at them.C.By catching them in the evening.D.By sending them away from Chicago.4.What’s the best title for the text?A.Smart Animals in the CityB.Meet the Coyote Next DoorC.Watch Out for the Coyote PairD.Our Love-hate Relationship with CoyotesBWhen my boss started talking about pension arrangements,it suddenly dawned on me:I was going to be stuck working in an office for the next 40 years.I’d always dreamed of working outdoors but I ended up doing a law degree at the University of the West of England in Bristol,thinking that this would bring me a better job.After graduating,I became an adviser.I enjoyed the work,but knew it wasn’t the right career for me.At this point,my 98-year-old grandma died,leaving me enough money to pay for an agricultural course.I decided to study agriculture at the Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester.I loved the programme.I spent my holidays from milking cows to helping in farm shops.I spent time lambing (照料母羊产羔羊) on a beautiful hill farm in Wales.I’d get up at 5 am in the morning and go out to care for the lambs that had been born overnight.In my old job,getting up early to go to the office was a struggle.It’s easier on a farm,where you know there are animals that rely on you.They’re living things,and if you don’t turn up something serious might happen to them.I’ve also been fortunate enough to find a job as industry communications manager with Red Tractor,the largest food assurance scheme (保障计划) in the UK.The role is very varied:one day I might talk at an agricultural show,educating children about where their food comes from;the next day I could be managing the design of the new food and farming standards.My advice to anyone wanting a career change is to seize the moment.To those interested in working in agriculture,try to get as much work experience as you can.5.What does the underlined part “dawned on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Hit.B.Moved.C.Excited.D.Satisfied.6.What does the author think of her job on a farm?A.Busy.B.Tiring.C.Difficult.D.Enjoyable.7.What did the author do at Red Tractor?A.She milked cows.B.She helped in farm shops.C.She took care of lambs on the farm.D.She gave speeches on agriculture to children.8.What is the author’s advice to readers?A.Work as a volunteer on a farm.B.Make a career change as soon as possible.C.Take the chance to do what you want to do.D.Get enough work experience before looking for a job.二、完形填空My bike was stolen last Saturday.Left with a

限时规范练31(模块六Unit1)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、健康生活的素养能力意识一、阅读理解ASquirrels aren’t natural city dwellers (居民).In 1856 the sight of one in a tree near New York’s city hall so surprised passers-by that a newspaper published a report about the “unusual visitor”.Around that time,the tree-dwelling animals were being set free in America’s urban areas to “create pockets of peace and calm like the countryside,” says University of Pennsylvania historian Etienne Benson,who studied our relationship to squirrels over the course of five years.First they were introduced to Philadelphia,then to New Haven,Boston,and New York City.Park visitors were encouraged to feed them,and security guards ensured their safety.In the 1910s a leader of the Boy Scouts of America (an organization teaching boys practical skills) said that teaching children to feed squirrels could show the rewards of treating a weaker creature with sympathy,says Benson.By the early 20th century,though,America began to regret the friendliness it had shownsquirrels.Cities had once been filled with animals — from horses pulling goods to dairy cows.By the 1950s those working animals had been moved to the countryside.Pets and wild animals such as birds and squirrels were all that remained of the urban animal kingdom.Before long,people’s enthusiasm for squirrels wore off,and they started to see them as annoyances (讨厌的东西).By the 1970s many parks banned feeding the creatures.Today,it is rare to find kids with their parents offering food to squirrels under a tree.And,unfortunately,with more and more buildings being constructed in the city,fewer inhabitable areas are left for the little tree-dwelling animals.What would be lost if the last of these city dwellers were forced to leave? “I think there’s something constructive to have other living creatures in the city that are not humans and not pets but share the land with us,” says Benson.“It’s a good thing to live in a landscape where you see other creatures going around making lunch.It’s good for the soul.”1.Why were squirrels introduced to Philadelphia?A.To entertain park visitors.B.To keep the natural balance.C.To encourage kids to protect animals.D.To make the urban life more peaceful.2.What was the Boy Scout leader’s attitude towards feeding squirrels?A.Disagreeable.B.Doubtful.C.Supportive.D.Uncaring.3.What might have happened to squirrels in cities around the 1960s?A.They might have inhabited more homes.B.They might have begun to go out of favor.C.They might have been introduced to more cities.D.They might have been moved to the countryside.BIt is 7 a.m.on a gray Thursday,and I am on the telephone to a group of strangers struggling with excited laughter.There must be 20 of them — men and women;young and old — laughing.These people have never met;nor do they know each other’s names.Yet for 10 minutes,five mornings a week,they simply pick up the phone and laugh.This is the “laughter line”,part of the growing industry in laughter treatment,Britain’s latest and most unusual treatment.The simple act of laughing is increasingly being used as a method for dealing with mental and physical disorders.Since it was founded in 2004,the UK Laughter Network has increased ten times,training 8,000 people to use laughter to improve their health.So how does it work? It reduces stress.A Maryland study found that it expands the inner lining of our blood vessels (血管) and so improves circulation.“Your immune system is strengthened by up to 40 percent,” explains laughter therapist Julie Whitehead,whose work includes training those who work at Great Ormond Street ughter has also been shown to lower blood pressure and improve mental function.But Lotte Mikkelson,45,founder of the laughter line,warns that it’s important to see it as a method of treatment—not a cure.“In 2008,I was diagnosed with an incurable disease,” she explains.“My sister died at the age of 32 from it,so I know what could happen.Since I started laughing,I haven’t had any worsening and my health is great.I’d never say laughter is a cure — but it can help.”4.Why do the strangers laugh on the phone?A.They want to make more friends.B.They are struggling with mental illness.C.They do so for the good of their health.D.They are taking an optimistic attitude to life.5.How does the UK Laughter Network help people?A.By training them to use laughter.B.By providing them with free medicine.C.By inspiring them to realize their dreams.D.By involving them in effective communication.6.What can we learn from Lotte Mikkelson’s words in the last paragraph?A.She has recovered from her illness.B.She thinks of laughter as a cure for her disease.C.She believes laughter is helpful for her condition.D.She regrets not teaching her sister laughter treatment.7.What is the best title of the text?A.How did a laughter line come into being?B.Why do people seldom laugh in life?ughter makes you more popularughter is the best medicine二、七选五Sophia Collins and Emy Jacobo have been best friends since kindergarten.“I play with Emy outside a lot,” Sophia says.“We like to read and do art together.”1 They wrote a book and used it to raise money for St.Jude Children’s Research Hospital.It started when Sophia and Emy had free time in their first-grade class.They decided to create a book for Sophia’s younger brother,Sam,and Emy’s younger sisters,Kielyn and Lia.“We made the book to help them read,” Emy says.Whenever they had extra time,Sophia and Emy worked on their book,called Smile Everybody! It’s about “all the reasons to smile,no matter who you are,” the girls state on the back cover.2“I drew the people and Sophia drew the animals,” Emy says.After finishing Smile Everybody! both girls read it to their siblings (兄弟姐妹),who liked it.3 Sophia wanted to sell the book.Her mom asked her what she’d do with the money.So the girls talked it over.“We decided to sell the book to raise money for St.Jude Children’s Research Hospital,” Emy says.4The girls had learned about it when a fund-raising trike-a-thon (骑脚踏车活动) was held at their school.After Sophia’s mom had the book printed,the girls sold more than 60 copies of Smile Everybody! to family and friends and sent $315 to St.Jude.5 Emy says,“We like to help the kids feel better.”A.St.Jude helps very sick children.B.But then their project grew bigger.ter,Sam,Kielyn and Lia also became friends.D.The girls like to work together to help others,too.E.They took turns taking the book home on weekends.F.However,the girls had different opinions about their book.G.The two friends feel happy that their project helped bring smiles to hospital patients.三、语法填空A male mako shark (灰鲭鲨),1.

限时规范练28(模块五Unit2B)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与自然、保护环境的素养能力意识一、阅读理解AChildren from four Buckinghamshire primary schools visited Epilepsy Society to plant a hedge (树篱) as part of a Plant-for-the-Planet project.The children from these schools were planting a hedge in the garden of the Queen Elizabeth House at the charity in Chalfont St Peter.Plant-for-the-Planet gives children across the globe the opportunity to learn about the threats of global warming to the environment,and then put their new knowledge into practice as they plant new trees.The day was organised by Bob Sherren who showed the children how to plant the planet-friendly line of trees in protective chambers (防护室) to shield them from hungry wildlife as they settle in theirroots.Bob said,“The day really was ‘Thinking Globally,Acting Locally’ put into action.The children learned about the importance of planting trees as a way of helping to bring about climate justice for many living in poorer nations and of course enjoyed planting the trees too.” The eventual hedge,which will grow to full size over ten years behind the Queen Elizabeth House,is made up of trees such as oaks,silver birches and so on.Bob added,“The children were also able to help people living at Epilepsy Society because they will gain some well-needed privacy from the hedge in time.The natural wildlife benefits too from the fruits and nuts that a hedge made from native species can provide as well as the possibility for any number of nesting sites.”Emma Darlington,Epilepsy Society’s volunteer officer,said,“I think it’s so important to encourage the younger generation that the future is in their hands and that they can make a difference,whether it is through taking part in projects like this or spreading awareness.We hope they learn a little bit about the work we do at Epilepsy Society too — the trees they planted will be enjoyed by everyone here for years to come.”1.What is the purpose of the Plant-for-the-Planet project?A.To help children learn more about society.B.To offer children colourful after-school activities.C.To raise children’s awareness of global warming.D.To teach children how to protect natural wildlife.2.What does the underlined word “shield” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Separate.B.Take.C.Get.D.Protect.3.How did Bob Sherren feel after organising this activity?A.Tired.B.Proud.C.Discouraged.D.Peaceful.4.What can we learn from Emma Darlington’s words in the last paragraph?A.She hopes to popularise volunteering work.B.She tries to drive the children to study hard.C.She expects the children to take positive action.D.She believes the younger generation is promising.BSam is a fourth-year student at Harvard Medical School,but poetry is still a big part of her life,now with a new teacher who believes poetry can benefit every doctor’s education and work,RafaelCampo.Rafael is a doctor,professor and a highly respected poet.“Poetry is in every encounter (邂逅) with my patients.I think healing really in a very great way is about poetry.And if we do anything when we’re with our patients,we’re really losing ourselves in their stories,really hearing their voices.And,certainly,that’s what a poem does,” he said.Campo worries that something important has been lost in medicine and medical educationtoday:humanity,which he finds in poetry.To end that,he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents (住院医生).He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from his or her patients,and poems can help close that gap.Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars.She said,“I think there’s no other profession other than medicine that produces as many writers as it does.And I think that is because there’s just so much power in doctors and patients interacting when patients are at their saddest.” Not everyone believes that’s what doctors should do,though.Rafael said,“I was afraid of how people might judge me,actually.In the medical profession,as many people know,we must always put the emergency first.But,you know,that kind of treatment,if it’s happening in the hospital,very regrettably,sadly,results in a bad outcome.The family is sitting by the bedside.The patient hasn’t survived the cancer.Don’t we still have a role as healers there?”In a poem titled “Health”,Campo writes of the wish to live forever in a world made painless by our incurable joy.He says he will continue teaching students,helping patients and writing poems,his own brand of medicine.5.What do we know about Rafael Campo?A.He works as a doctor.B.He is under medical care.C.He is a literature professor.D.He knows little about poetry.6.What does the author try to show in Paragraph 2?A.The importance of medical training.B.The effect of poetry in medical treatment.C.The similarity involved in poetry and medical work.D.The present relationship between patients and doctors.7.What does Andrea Schwartz think of poetry?A.It comforts patients’ family.B.It contributes to medical work.C.It has nothing to do with doctors.D.It keeps doctors away from patients.8.What is Rafael Campo’s view on poetry?A.It requires a lot of spare time.B.It can provide a useful tool for doctors.C.It has little effect on patients’ conditions.D.It should be included in emergency treatments.二、完形填空This is a real story about an old man in
