Unit 3 Under the seaⅠ.阅读理解A(2018·惠州市高三第一次调研考试)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 the University 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 these 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 questions surveyed each person's overall health. When the researchers analyzed the data, they found a strong connection between a teen's behavior and adult health. Teens who had 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 on health. 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.”【文章大意】研究表明，与朋友较少或者没有朋友的青少年相比，有朋友的青少年在长大后更健康。
当然，与朋友相处也有坏处。
1．Where can you probably read this passage?A．Science fiction.B．Health column.C．Fashion magazine.D．Entertainment newspaper.答案与解析：B'考查推理判断。
通读全文可知，本文主要介绍青少年时的友谊对青少年成年后健康的影响。
据此可知，本文属于健康知识类文章，故可判断，本文可能选自“健康专栏”，故B项正确。
2．We can learn from Allen's study that ________.A．many other factors have a greater influence on adult health than teen friendshipsB．mental health issues have nothing to do with adult healthC．the same 171 teens were interviewed each year from 13 to 27D．the teens who couldn't express themselves grew up to be unhealthier答案与解析：D'考查细节理解。
根据第三段中的“Whether teens held back... sick as adults.”可知，青少年是否向他们的好朋友表达情感也会影响到其成年后的健康，那些压抑情感的青少年成年后很可能不健康。
故D项正确。
3．According to what Allen said, we can know that ________.A．in order to do better at school, teens should not follow the crowdB．though it's challenging for teens to deal with peer pressure, they should not give upC．teens will engage in smoking, drinking or using drugs when facing peer pressureD．parents should understand their teens and stop them going with friends 答案与解析：B'考查细节理解。
根据最后一段内容可知，与朋友相处使得青少年在成年后更加健康的同时也会带来不利影响，即周围同龄人带来的压力，这些压力会导致许多问题。
分析Allen的话“Finding the right balance is the key. Teens shouldn't lose heart for not finding this easy.”可以判断，青少年要应对这些压力，找到正确的平衡点是关键，不能因为很难找到平衡点就灰心丧气。
故选B。
4．What can be inferred from the passage?A．There is nothing bad for teens to follow the crowd.B．Close friendships are the most important for people's health.C．Teen friendships may help teens become healthier adults.D．Adult health is only influenced by teen friendships.答案与解析：C'考查推理判断。
根据文章第一段第二句“But new research suggests that teens who get along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.”可知，与朋友相处的青少年在成年后会更加健康。
C项意为“青少年时期的友谊会帮助青少年成为更加健康的成年人”，符合文章意思，故C项正确。
根据最后一段第一句“Getting along with the crowd may have benefits, says Allen, but there are also drawbacks.”可知，与朋友相处有好处，但是也有一定的缺点，故A项与文意不符；B项错在“the most”，D项错在“only”，都太过于绝对。
B(2018·成都市高中毕业班摸底测试)The Scottish composer Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all her hearing as a young girl, yet went on to a very successful career in music including winning Grammy awards. When somebody asks her, “How do you hear？” She responds, “How do you hear? Is it only with your ears？” For Glennie, and for us too, l istening is not only hearing, but is understanding. We need to listen to what is said and unsaid, and also how it is said.It's important to hear what people say accurately. As Mark Twain said，“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug (萤火虫)．” If you miss something or you're not sure you've heard accurately, ask the speakers. At this point you're not evaluating what they say, but just looking for accuracy and understanding. Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and don't say. Why are they saying this now, instead of sooner or later? Why are they emphasizing these points, instead of something else?Listen to how it is said. People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say. While going through the next points, think about someone whose real meaning you might sometimes miss, and see if any of these signals might come up. First, voices. When others speak, notice changes in their volume, pace, and tone. Second, body language. Notice gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions. Do these sync what they are saying, or do they tell a different story? Third, emotions. What is the person true feeling? Now you might not know for sure, but be considerate, open to understanding, and ask thoughtful questions.【文章大意】本文讲述了聆听的内涵。

2019高考英语一轮复习构想 Unit 3 Under the sea课时作业新人教版选修7Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·河北省第二次联考)In 1971 we were living in Wichita, Kansas—Lincoln was about seven, Brendan was three and Kristen was a baby. Mom was staying with us during the holidays. On Christmas Eve I stayed up very late. I was totally alone with my thoughts, alternating between joy and sorrow, and I got to thinking about my paper route(送报历程), that tree, what my mother had said to me and how dad had tried to make things better.I heard a noise in the kitchen and discovered that it was mom. She couldn't sleep either and had gotten up to make herself a cup of hot tea which made her feel better. As she waited for the water to boil, she walked into the living room and discovered me there. She saw my open Bible and asked me what I was reading. When I told her, she asked if I would read it to her and I did.When the kettle began to whistle, she went and made her tea. She came back. I told her how happy I was that she was with us for Christmas and how I wished that dad could have lived to see his grandchildren and to enjoy this time because he always loved Christmas so much. It got very quiet for a moment and then she said，“Do you remember that time on Twelve Mile Road when you bought that tree with your paper route money？”“Yes，” I said，“I've just been thinking about it you know.”She hesitated for a long moment, as though something was bottled up so deeply inside her soul that it might take surgery to get it out. Finally, great tears rolled down her face and she cried，“Oh, son, please forgive me. That time and that Christmas have been a burden on my heart for twentyfive years. I wish your dad were here so I could tell him how sorry I am for what I said.”【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

Under the sea李仕才一、阅读理解When I was in the sixth grade, I became a big K-pop (Korean pop) fan. Almost half the students at my middle school were Korean and almost all of them listened to Korean music, especially K-pop. I had never been interested in it. It sounded too strange to me, but all changed in the sixth grade when the huge hit Gee came out. All my friends were singing the chorus and imitating the dance. Gee fever sucked me into K-pop. It became my life. I listened to K-pop non-stop and filled my iPod with it. In a month, I had memorized the names of countless members of boy and girl bands and stuck pictures of my singer ＂boyfriends＂ on my walls. I would ditch my weekend art and math classes and go to concerts with my friends. This would always result in my mom shouting that I was wasting my life. My mom thought K-pop was trash and wanted me to like classical music as she did. But classical music made me sleepy.Every day during middle school I went to a K-pop gossip and news site called . On this site I learned that I could audition(试音) to become a singer in a K-pop band. The shining clothes, thousands of screaming fans and hearing them chant my name seemed much more exciting than being a middle school student. Becoming a K-pop star was all I wanted.I started watching the audition videos of current stars and reading blog posts from people who had auditioned. They explained much about the audition. This made me want to audition even more. After watching those videos, I saw that most of the current stars weren’t that amazing in their auditions and that each singer had improved so much through training. I had never had vocal lessons(声乐课) and didn’t think of myself as a good singer. ＂But if they could do it, I could do that too,＂ I thought.1.What caused the author to fall in love with K-pop?A. Her Korean origin.B.A new style of dance.C. Her friends’ influence.D. The popularity of Gee.2.The underlined word ＂ditch＂ in Paragraph 1 probably means ＂________＂.A. forgetB. attendC. ignoreD. hate3.What do we know about the author’s mother?A. She has no interest in music.B. She has a low opinion of K-pop.C. She doesn’t care about her daughter.D. She prefers K-pop to classical music.4.After visiting , the author ________.A. dreamed of becoming a pop singerB. called the manager of the news siteC. contacted people who had auditionedD. knew she would never become a singer【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

It's not what you look at that matters；it's what you see.—Henry David ThoreauSlow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission：help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.Why slow?When people look slowly at a piece of art，they make discoveries.The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert.And that's an exciting discovery.It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.How does it work?One day each year，people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly.Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to talk about their experience.That's it.Simple by design，the goal is to focus on the art.In fact，Slow Art Day works quite well this way.By the numbersOver 1,200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in 2010.Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents.700 venues(museums，galleries，artist studios，sculpture parks，public art sites，etc.)have hosted Slow Art Day events.Participants love Slow Art DayFeedback on this simple event has been overwhelmingly positive.Here's a sample：“I loved taking the time to just‘be’ with the works, particularly pieces I might otherwise walk by.It's a much better way of visiting the art museum than the usual idle ramble.Discussion afterwards was fun，interesting，informative and eyeopening.I look forward to doing it again.”Slow Art Day 2017 is Saturday，April 8，in museums and galleries worldwide.Join us and experience art differently.1．The author quotes Thoreau's words at the beginning to ________.A．arouse readers' interest in artB．introduce the topic of the textC．stress the importance of lookingD．illustrate the joy of art appreciation2．A typical slow art activity ________.A．lasts about fifty minutes when people look at art works criticallyB．encourages people to see art for themselves and discuss with expertsC．organizes people to look at art on their own and talk about their experience D．inspires people to make discoveries about art works and create their own works 3．What can we learn about Slow Art Day from the text?A．The year of 2017 will see the eighth Slow Art Day.B．It happens once a year in all museums and galleries worldwide.C．It has become an art festival celebrated on all seven continents.D．Slow Art Day events have been held in over 1,200 different places.4．According to the text，the author ________.A．has conducted a survey on Slow Art DayB．strongly recommends Slow Art Day eventsC．sees the good and bad sides of Slow Art DayD．is frequently involved in Slow Art Day events【解题导语】本文是说明文，介绍了慢艺术日(Slow Art Day)的一些情况。

Unit 3 Under the seaⅠ.阅读理解(2017吉林梅河口五中阶段测试一)Dolphins (海豚) are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this way they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time—at least twenty or thirty years.Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area—except for The Penguin.Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.1.By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that .A.people are cruel to animalsB.dolphins are friendly and cleverC.Jack is different from other dolphinsD.dolphins should be protected by law2.Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they .A.live in groupsB.have their own languageC.are warm-bloodedD.have large brains3.Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?A.Its jaw.B.Its ears.C.Its nose.D.Its eyes.4.Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?A.They wanted his help.B.They enjoyed playing with him.C.He was seriously wounded.D.He was lonely and liked to be with peopleⅡ.七选五(2018吉林长春高三一模)Summer is the perfect time to relax. As you plan for your trip, here are some tips on how to protect yourself. 1 .Fight against the mosquitoes.There are many mosquito-borne illnesses in tropical regions. Therefore, mosquito repellent(驱蚊剂)that contains DEET should be an essential item in your travel bag.2 .In lesser-developed countries there is less equipment for clean water and public health. If you can’t avoid unhealthful water, make sure you bring alon g a tea or coffee-making pot that can boil water for you. You’d better buy a case of water and check that all bottle caps are sealed to make sure the bottled water isn’t just refilled dirty tap water.Always protect your feet.It’s best to wear slippers wh en you are taking a shower, but if you must be barefoot, put a towel down on the floor. 3 .You should never walk barefoot in any area of a foreign country, including your hotel room.Be sure to eat safe fruit.4 .They may have been washed in the water or wiped with the rag used to clean the work surfaces in kitchens. The best advice is to bring your own peeler(削皮器)so that you know that something clean has been applied to the fruit.Enjoy the smell of roadside stands, not the food.Unless the food is pipi ng hot when served, it’s best to stay away from roadside stands, no matter how good the smell of the food might be. If you are concerned about whether a restaurant is clean, order the food to go.5 .A.Don’t trust the local waterB.Any fruit served fresh may be pollutedC.Look out for any water not served in a bottleD.The boxes may be cleaner than the plates and forks on the tableE.You should know how to keep yourself away from dirty fruitF.They are necessary for avoiding coming back with a major illness from your tripG.Parasites(寄生虫)can enter the skin of your feet and travel to different parts of the body Ⅲ.完形填空In our modern world,when something wears out,we throw it away and buy a new one.The 1 is that countries around the world have growing mountains of 2 because people are throwing out more rubbish than ever before.How did we 3 a throwaway society?

They will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution.B．They will protect animals from harmful noises.C．They will try to set a limit of 120 decibels.D．They will study the effect of ocean noise pollution.BThe sea has always interested man.From it he can get food, minerals, and treasure.For thousands of years, he could sail on it.But he could not go far beneath its surface.Man wants to explore deep into the sea.However, he is not a fish.He must breathe air, so he can't stay under the water's surface for any length of time.To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems.A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases.He can wear a diving suit and have air pumped to him from above.He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a nose and a mouthpiece.Water weighs 800 times as much as air.Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea.His body is under great pressure.When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes.As he rises to surface, the water pressure becomes less.If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form bubbles.The diver is then suffering from the bends.The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain.They can even kill him.15．On the whole, this passage is about ________.A．special mixtures of gases in deep seaB．the problems man faces in deep-sea divingC．air pressure under the surface of sea waterD．a kind of illness that man suffers in the sea16．A diver's body in deep water ________.A．is under great pressureB．is just like that of a fishC．suffers from the bendsD．weighs very little17．The passage does not say so, but it makes you think that ________.A．deep-divers should be in good healthB．divers explore the deep sea only for treasureC．diving under the water too quickly causes a kind of illnessD．there is a special mixture of gases under the sea18．From the passage we can see that ________.A．the sea began to interest man a few years agoB．man is not at home deep in the seaC．all divers will get the bends sooner or laterD．the air in the sea water will kill a diver if he is not carefulⅢ.完成句子阅读下列各小题，根据每句后的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子。

Unit 3 Under the sea一、阅读理解。
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language?In a recent article from The Wall Street Journal, technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that，within a decade or so, we’ll be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with builtin microphones. That’s because technological progress is extremely rapid.It’s only a matter of time. Indeed, some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they’re wondering if their kids should even learn a second language.It’s true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating “No es bueno dormir mucho” as “It’s not good to sleep too much”. Replacing a word with its equivalent(对应词) in the target language is actually the “easy part” of a translator’s job.But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.It’s so difficult for computers because translation doesn’t —or shouldn’t—involve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, it’s about translating meaning. And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression: volume, gesture, situation, and even your culture. All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.Therefore ，we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us. If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better? Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer, undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place.【解题导语】技术专家说随着技术的进步，即时翻译机器将在大约十年内出现在市场上。
