2025届高考英语一轮复习(外研版)课后习题Unit6Earthfirst
Unit 6Earth firstⅠ.阅读理解AIt’s eight o’clock on Christmas morning,and Uncle Tom says he wants to listen to the news.I am wondering why on earth grown-ups would be interested in the news when there are important things to be done,such as handing out presents.And then,while I am only half-listening to the radiobroadcast,something surprising happens:The boring newsreader begins talking about a Christmas message from the Vatican.Hadn’t we heard that report earlier?My older brother,Colin,figures out what’s happening.“Pete,Pete,it’s a tape recorder! We’ve got our tape recorder!”Colin and I had both been blind from birth.At the special boarding school in Worcester in western England that Colin and I attended,a tape recorder of your own was the height ofaspiration.However,Colin—better informed and more realistic about family finances than I was—had no real expectations of getting one.I realized,much later,that the tape recorder my father had bought us would have cost more than four times his weekly wage.The new toy,the size of a small suitcase,dominated the rest of the Christmas holidays.I took my first steps down the path to my career as a broadcaster when I returned to school after the holidays.I would wander round the school with my microphone,recording my thoughts in the style of the voices I heard on the radio.But ten years later,after I had started and abandoned a university law course,I drew on the confidence and walked into a BBC radio station,in the hope of selling myself as a broadcast journalist.A producer at the radio station who was putting together a weekly program for blind people had seen me.He later phoned me and informed I was admitted.Twenty-five years later,I presented my first report for BBC TV’s Six O’Clock News,a program my father had never missed.Although by then he’d been dead for more than a decade,I like to think he’d have realized that his inspiring Christmas present had changed my life.1.Why was the author surprised at the radio report according to paragraph 1?A.Because he was handing out presents.B.Because the information was familiar.C.Because it broadcast the latest news.D.Because it was reading a boring message.2.What did Colin think of a tape recorder?A.It was inexpensive.B.It was unnecessary.C.It was unaffordable.D.It was unexceptional.3.What effect did the present have on the author?A.He recorded his personal life every day.B.He majored in broadcasting at university.C.He got addicted and abandoned his study.D.He decided to work in broadcast journalism.4.What’s the best title for this text?A.Unusual Gift,United FamilyB.Warm Christmas,Wise UncleC.Silent Love,Sound InfluenceD.Prepared Mind,Promising JobBEvery November,as Thanksgiving Day approaches,one memory comes to my mind.At my big Turkish family’s get-togethers,baklava(果仁蜜饼) is the norm at the dessert table.There’s rolled baklava,nut-filled baklava and chocolate-dipped baklava.One year,though,back when I was in high school,my cousin Johnny decided to change things up a bit.He showed up at my parents’ house for Thanksgiving with two items that had never been served before—apple pie and a can of cream.Those two items caused one of the biggest arguments.I distinctly remember my mom and aunts whispering in the kitchen.“Apple pie?” one of my aunts said.“What to do with this?”I can still recall my mom’s puzzled expression at it all.If there’s one thing in this world my mom distrusts,it’s fruit-filled desserts,a no-no in our cuisine culture.“Why would you bake fruits into a dessert when you can eat them fresh?” she often says.The cream only made things worse.My mom didn’t want to hurt Johnny’s feelings.In a true act of love,she put the pie out on the dining room table,accompanied by the cream.It went mostly untouched.Nowadays,things are different.We actually have pie at Thanksgiving—my mom regularly makespie(the fear of fruit-filled sweets continues,but desserts topped with fruits or nuts have been given the okay).We still laugh about the drama caused by Johnny’s apple pie.I’ll never forget it.It wasn’t just about the pie for me.Growing up,I sometimes felt like an outsider because of my culture.That Thanksgiving,though,was one of the first times I realized that my family’s oddness was actually a good thing.It’s what made us.What about
