making a real difference to people’s lives and wanted to do the same.So for the past 12 years,Tabichi has worked as a math and science teacher in the hope that his lessons will give students a chance to improve their situations.However,working at a remote village school in Kenya hasn’t been easy.The unique challenges and obstacles have forced Tabichi to find unique solutions for his students.The school only has one computer and unreliable Internet access.The school also has no library or laboratory.To make matters worse,there are not enough books for all the students and the school is desperately in need of more teachers.Most of the students are not able to concentrate,because they haven’t had enough meals at home.One of the other major challenges that Tabichi faces is keeping kids in school as long as possible.So Tabichi spends most of his time outside of the classroom working on ways to keep kids in school.When the 36-year-old teacher gets the feeling that a student is at risk of dropping out,he works to persuade families to put more value in education.To help those in poverty afford food,uniforms,and books,Tabichi also gives away 80 percent of his salary.Despite all the obstacles he faces,Tabichi is credited for improving the school and keeping much of the village’s youth in school.He has also managed to set up science clubs and addressed food insecurity issues.Thanks to his tireless work,his students have excelled.In recent years,his students have won national and international science competitions.In March of 2019,Tabichi was voted the best teacher in the world and won the prize of $1 million.4.What inspired Tabichi to be a teacher?A.The high salary of teachers.B.His father’s demand on him.C.Contributions a teacher can make.D.His relatives’ encouragement.5.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The difficulties Tabichi’s school faced.B.The life of a remote village in Kenya.C.Tabichi’s unique teaching ways for his students.D.Most of the students’ distraction on their learning.6.What occupied Tabichi’s most time?A.Giving students the best lessons.B.Helping students get rid of poverty.C.Persuading students not to drop out.D.Getting students away from any risk.7.Which of the following can best describe Tabichi?A.Pitiful.B.Lucky.C.Punctual.D.Selfless.CParis is a city like no other,and much of this has to do with its beautiful architecture.But on April 15,Notre-Dame Cathedral,one of its most iconic structures,caught fire and lasted for several hours,nearly destroying the centuries-old church before firefighters were able to extinguish the fire.The tragedy all began when fire alarms rang in the evening as people rushed past the Notre-Dame Cathedral on their way home.Yet upon seeing the smoke,and then later the flames,a large crowd gathered in horror as it watched the spire(尖塔) of the famous cathedral collapse as the fire grew in size and intensity(剧烈).The fire at Notre-Dame Cathedral started in or near the spires some 295 feet from theground.According to Dunn,a fire expert,this was extremely problematic for two reasons.“If you’ve ever been in the attic of a church,you’ll instantly notice it’s all made of wood,which of course makes it ripe for a fire to spread quickly.Second,fire hoses can only reach a maximum height of fifty feet,making the spires in Notre-Dame Cathedral extremely difficult to address.”“The firefighters used both an offensive and defensive strategy,” explains Dunn.“First,from the outside,they had aerial streams hitting the fire from several safe locations to contain the flames and prevent them from spreading to nearby structures.Then,they switched strategies to an inside one in which an offensive search-and-recover operation began.They did a great job.”That brings us to the difficult but important discussion of what to do with the countless other places of worship around the world.“If centuries-old places of worship want to protect their buildings,they must install automatic sprinklers,” Dunn argues.“The problem is,no one wants to do that because it could deface the beautiful interiors(内部).But that’s really the only way they can ensure their structure will last another century.If they don’t take this problem seriously,any other places of worship around the world could suffer the fate as Notre-Dame Cathedral.”8.How did pedestrians feel when they saw the church on fire?A.Puzzled.B.Worried.C.Upset.D.Horrified.9.What does the underlined word “extinguish” most probably mean?A.Put out.B.Block away.C.Cut through.D.Transfer into.10.What can we infer from the third paragraph?A.It was easy for the firefighters to put out the fire.B.Dunn was satisfied with what the firefighters had done.C.The terrible fire made people in the city hard to breathe.D.Firefighters used fire hoses near the spires to put out the fire.11.What does Dunn suggest in the last paragraph?A.Discussing what to do to protect the old buildings.B.Having automatic sprinklers installed in the old buildings.C.Defacing the beautiful interiors of these old buildings.D.Letting people realise the destruction of fires.DBarcelona’s famous Segrada Familia is finally set to get a building licence,more than 130 years after work on the still uncompleted church began.Construction on the UNESCO World Heritage basilica(长方形基督教堂),which is Barcelona’s most visited tourist attraction,began in 1882 based on a design by architect FranciscoLozano.However,when he stepped down,architect Antoni Gaudi took over the design in 1883.The building won’t be finished until 2026—one hundred years after the architect was killed by a streetcar in the city.His body was buried in a room under the floor of the Sagrada Familia.To get its paperwork rubber stamped,the church authorities have agreed to finally pay the government a ￡36 million fee for a building permit.Gaudi was told to get the paperwork processed,but the architect failed to do so—proceeding with construction regardless.The money from the church’s permit will be used to upgrade transport links and beautify the area.Gaudi and his works have become symbols of Barcelona,the capital city of Catalonia,northeast Spain.Gaudi played an active role in directing the construction of the Sagrada Familia until his death in 1926.He would often request that work be modified and adjusted until it was exactly what he had in mind.However,interpretation of the designs by present-day architects is particularly challenging because of the nature of the existing designs.The unfinished building is called a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and it is perhaps the most unique and mysterious building in the style ever constructed.The popularity of the site with tourists has helped fund the push to complete the church and pay for the paperwork.12.What do we know about the Segrada Familia?A.It has been completely constructed.B.It was first designed by Antoni Gaudi.C.It will get a building permit in 2026.D.It began to be built more than 130 years ago.13.What can we know about Antoni Gaudi?A.He wished to be buried in the church.B.He is remembered as a great architect.C.He didn’t know a permit was necessary.D.He is to blame for the unfinished church.14.What makes the Segrada Familia so popular?A.Its unusual design style.B.Its two famous architects.C.Its special building materials.D.Its illegal construction paperwork.15.The church managed to pay for the licence .A.in the support of the governmentB.by reducing construction costsC.with the aid of tourist incomeD.through donations from architectsⅡ.阅读七选五Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking.1 Do you want to be a good public speaker?Here are some principles you must master.People want to listen to someone who is interesting,relaxed and comfortable.Too often,when you stand up to give a speech,you focus on the “public” at the expense of the “speaking”.2 Focus on the speaking.Talk directly to your audience,be yourself and make a connection.Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes.Yet,the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking.People’s attention wanders constantly.In fact,most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message.So,don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one.3Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.4 And like everything else in life,that takes practice.Remember,even world champion athletes practise their skills on a consistent basis.5 It’s rare to hear someone say,“I wish that speaker had spoken longer.”On the other hand,you probably can’t count the times when you’ve thought,“I’m glad that talk is over.It seemed to go on forever!” So surprise your audience.Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.A.Do the opposite.B.You want to be an effective public speaker.C.You don’t need to apologise for a minor slip.D.When it comes to public speaking,less is usually more.E.The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.F.Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners.G.However,the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.参考答案高考题型·组合规范练17选择性必修第四册UNIT2阅读题组——练速度Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。

高考题型·组合规范练17选择性必修第四册UNIT2阅读理解题组——练速度(35mins)Ⅰ.阅读理解AWho says inventions are only made by grown-ups and professionals?Over the years,children have also succeeded in making their useful contributions to the world.Here are a few inventions that came to life from the minds of young children. HeroHelmetSeven-year-old Samuel Meyer’s invention is aimed at stopping people from riding their bikes or skateboards without using a helmet.The Hero Helmet features an inbuilt remote that controls a lock on the wheels which unlocks when the Helmet is being worn by the rider.Samuel says,“No helmet,no bike.”RoboticEarthwormThe first thought that comes to mind is,why a robotic earthworm?Well,ten-year-old David Cohen had some useful applications in mind.He believed it could be used to find victims after a flood,earthquake or fire.The robot could get into small and dangerous places where search dogs and humans could not go.B.E.A.C.O.N.Fifteen-year-old Hannah Herbst’s invention,which stands for Bringing Electricity Access to Countries through Ocean Energy,was inspired by her pen pal who lives in Ethiopia and did not have access to lights.So she came up with B.E.A.C.O.N,which absorbs energy directly f rom ocean waves.Her invention won the “Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge” in and other numerous awards.PortableWheelchairControllerAt only eight years old,Amelia Fox created the invention to help lift people in and out of their wheelchair.This invention was not just born out of the desire to create something.Amelia developedthis controller for her brother,who had just got hip surgery and needed the wheelchair to move around.1.Who is the youngest inventor?A.Samuel Meyer.B.David Cohen.C.Amelia Fox.D.Hannah Herbst.2.Which of the following can be used as a rescue tool?A.Hero Helmet.B.B.E.A.C.O.N.C.Robotic Earthworm.D.Portable Wheelchair Controller.3.Why did Amelia Fox create the invention?A.To give her brother assistance.B.To benefit the earthquake victims.C.To generate electricity effectively.D.To protect bike riders from injuries.BWhen I was seven,my family and I were coming back from a T-ball game.In our driveway,we spotted two adult geese and a small gosling.The adults were frightened by our return and flew away,but their baby was still too young to fly and couldn’t follow.Hours passed,and night fell.The tiny little thing was wandering around our yard,unaware of what could happen,and it was clear that the gosling needed protection,warmth and food to make it to the morning.At that point,we had to bring him into our backyard.We all pretty much slept with one eye open for several days.Each morning,we would try to rush the goose over to his parents,who kept coming back to our yard.He wouldn’t go to them,though,and they wouldn’t come close enough to claim him.The young goose had clearly decided we were his new family,and my twin sister Joanna called the little guy Peeper.Almost a year passed and we settled into a routine filled with feathery hugs and company.One evening,my uncle came over,and my dad threw Peeper up into the air to show he could fly around the house,but this time,Peeper just flew off.Everyone was verysad.Twenty years passed,and Peeper became a fond memory for my family.In ,an aging adult goose made his way back to my home.At first,I assumed it was just another Canada goose.After two weeks of the goose’s com ing back repeatedly,it became clear to me that this wasn’t a random goose.He did all of the same things Peeper used to,like trying to come in through the front door and sleeping in our enclosed pool area.Besides,this goose responded to the name Peeper.Much to my amazement,my old best friend had returned,20 years later.4.Why did the author bring the little goose home that night?A.It couldn’t find its parents.B.It was too fragile to survive.C.It wanted to stay in the yard.D.It enjoyed the author’s company.5.What does the underlined word “claim” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Get.B.Forgive.C.Challenge.D.Annoy.6.What can we infer about the author from the teed the goose Peeper.B.She set Peeper free on purpose.C.She had a deep feeling to Peeper.D.She trained the goose to fly daily.7.What is the best title for the passage?A.A Feathered Family MemberB.Return of a Long Lost FriendC.Reunion of a Goose FamilyD.An Adventurous Journey HomeCThe first set of Chinese stories presented in English scripts (剧本),titled StoriesofChina:PerformedinEnglish,was officially published by Foreign Languages Press.Planned by the New Channel International Education Group with the participation of playwrights from China,the United Kingdom and the United States,the book provides a new way for young people to learn English while inheriting (传承) and spreading Chinese culture.The book contains 20 English scripts in novel formats covering a wide range of subjects.Unlike the most common English scripts for young readers on the market which are based on adaptations of European and American stories,those presented in this book are unique for being based on classic Chinese stories,readapted and written in English.The book is divided into first to third grades in terms of grammar and vocabulary difficulty,making it suitable for young English learners from primary school to junior and high school.All the scripts in the book are written by top playwrights with elegant,pure and vivid language.The scripts are provided with a summary of the story in both Chinese and English,so that readers can fully understand the plot as well as the history and culture behind it.Readers can not only improve their English skills through immersive (沉浸式) reading and performance but also appreciate Chinese culture.Hu Min,English education expert and founder of the New Channel,said the combination of traditional culture and Englishteaching has become a trend,guiding young people to bring their own wisdom and deep cultural heritage to tell Chinese stories to the world.New Channel will offer special courses on StoriesofChina:PerformedinEnglish in its many schools across the country,and cooperate with primary and secondary schools in Beijing,Shanghai to offer English drama courses on a trial basis.Hu believes the courses will set off a new wave of enthusiastic learning among young people.8.Why was StoriesofChina:PerformedinEnglish published?A.To offer English drama courses on a trial basis.B.To make foreign students enjoy Chinese culture.C.To advertise some of the top playwrights in China.D.To improve English learning and the culture heritage.9.What do we know about the book?A.It’s been published by a foreign press.B.It stands out for its unique writing style.C.It introduces classic Chinese stories.D.It’s been popular in various schools.10.What’s Hu Min’s attitude towards the courses to be offered?A.Expectant.B.Doubtful.C.Objective.D.Conservative.11.In which section of a magazine might the text appear?A.Business.B.Lifestyle.C.Culture.D.Politics.DOn paper,hydrogen(H2) looks like a dream fuel.Whilecoal,oil,and natural gas produce carbon dios the earth when burned,hydrogen produces pure water.Hydrogen packs more energy into less space than a battery (but certainly less than petrol).Also,empty tanks(箱) can be refilled with hydrogen much faster than refilling empty batteries with electricity.While in practice,things are trickier.Storing a meaningful amount of hydrogen gas requires pressing it severalhundred-fold.Changing it into the liquid form is another option,but it should be cooled to -253℃.Both processes require a heavy andstrong tank.While a 700 bar tank is acceptable for a city bus or a truck,adapting it for use in small vehicles is very difficult because the pressure during refilling would be too great.The solution?Powerpaste.A German team of researchers,led by Marcus Vogt,have come up with an interesting “powerpaste”,which can store hydrogen energy at atmospheric pressure,ready for release when needed.It is so named because it comes in tubes and looks like toothpaste(牙膏),not in its traditional form of gas.The main ingredient(原料) of the paste is magnesium hydride,a substance that reacts with water to form hydrogen.The escaped hydrogen can then be directed into a fuel cell,where it reacts with o the air to produce electric power.Refueling is very simple,as instead of going to a filling station,drivers and riders can simply replace an empty tube with a new one and refill the water tank.Given that powerpaste only begins to break down at temperatures of around 250℃ it remains safe even when a vehicle stands in the baking sun for hours.However,we will have to be patient.The fact that researchers have succeeded in developing a new fueling way does not mean that we can expect to see such vehicles on the road anytime soon.It will indeed be several years before this concept is turned into reality.12.As a fuel,what is the advantage of hydrogen over oil?A.Refilling empty tanks will be more convenient.B.It is less likely to worsen global warming.C.More energy can be packed in the same space.D.It will produce pure water for people to drink.13.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The practical difficulties to use hydrogen as a fuel in small vehicles.B.The detailed processes of adapting a strong tank in small vehicles.C.The differences in fueling between large vehicles and small ones.D.The tricks of building strong tanks in small vehicles.14.The author mentions the refueling process to show that powerpaste is .A.inexpensiveB.powerfulC.convenientD.environment-friendly15.Why does the author call on the readers to be patient?A.Powerpaste-driven vehicles sometimes move very slowly on the road.B.Practical use of powerpaste-driven vehicles will not come very soon.C.Powerpaste-driven vehicles can only work after being in the sun for hoursD.It will be years before the researchers work out the concept of powerpaste.Ⅱ.阅读七选五When you imagine the “road to success”,what sort of picture do you see in your mind? 1 ?Today I’d like to share with you a slightly different picture of the road to success.When youunderstand this picture,you will be much better prepared for your journey.2 :You can see your goal
