Unit 2 The Olympic GamesⅠ.阅读理解A(2018山西运城模拟)You signed up for soccer, and played every game of the season. Sure, you’re not the best player on the team, but most days you gave it your all. Do you deserve a trophy (奖杯)?If the decision were up to Caro l Dweck, the answer would likely be no. She’s a psychology professor at Stanford University, California. She says a player doesn’t have to be the best to get a trophy. But those who receive an award should have to work for it. She suggests trophies go to the most improved player, or the one who contributed most to the team spirit, as well as to those who play the best.“The trophy has to stand for something,” Dweck told TFK. “If we give a trophy to everyone, then the award has no value.” Dweck argues that g iving kids trophies for particular reasons, such as improving in a sport, teaches kids that adults value hard work.Others say that there’s no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport, regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved.“I think we should encourage kids’ participation in sports,” says Kenneth Barish, a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College, in New York City. “A trophy is one way to encourage kids’ efforts.”Barish argues that when we single out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy, we are teaching kids the wrong lesson. We are sending the message that winning iseverything. “Winning is only part of the equation (等式),” Barish told TFK. “Playing sports also teaches kids something a bout teamwork and the importance of exercise.”There will be plenty of opportunities for kids to learn about competition as they get older, says Barish. They’ll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl. For now, he thinks there’s nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners. That means trophies for everyone.1.According to Carol Dweck, which player should receive a trophy?A.Tony, the most attractive player of the soccer team.B.David, a soccer player who is both clever and funny.C.Peter, who is ready to help his partners to score goals.D.Jim, a soccer player who tries his best to win the game.2.Which of the following statements would Kenneth Barish agree with?A.There is no sense in giving a trophy to everyone.B.Kids fond of playing sports should be rewarded.C.Kids should be given trophies for trying their best.D.It is necessary to encourage kids’ participation in sports.3.The underlined phrase “single out” in Paragraph 6 probably means “”.A.honourB.chooseC.valueD.stress4.Which shows the correct structure of the text?B(2017四川成都经济技术开发区实验中学月考)Parents can do anything for their children. Whether it should be their food, clothes or the places they live in,parents will always make sure their children have the best. One of the biggest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children. They are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes to education for their children. Choices include private schools, charter schools, public schools and home schooling.Fortunately for parents,there are a variety of strategies that they can adopt in order to increase their children’s overall intelligence. According to Ross A. Thompson, PhD at the University of California, a child’s brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time he/she starts kindergarten.Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brainstem, the central part of the brain. Moreover, children who learn an instrument at an early age tend to continue to play it when they are older. And numerous studies show that a well-balanced meal is essential for a child’s mental as well as physical health. Some researchers recommend that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool. They state that three or four years of age is the perfect time and that any age under four will be good for a child’s brain development.The average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and the second grade. Many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school. Children can have an adequate background of the alphabet and pronunciations of words before attending school. This can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want.5.From the first paragraph, we can infer that .A.parents find it hard to satisfy their kids’ various demandsB.parents meet a new challenge when raising their kidsC.parents have more choices when offering education to their kidsD.parents get actively involved in the process of their kids’ growth6.What suggestion may the researchers in the passage make?A.To train kids as early as possible.B.To try as many means as possible.C.To help kids develop as fully as possible.D.To use as many available resources as possible.7.What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?A.The proper time to teach children to learn languages.B.The effective ways to help develop children’s brains.C.The vital factors in having a great effect on children’s health.D.The practical steps to arouse children’s interest in study.8.We can replace the words “jump start” in the last paragraph with.A.inspirationB.introductionC.suggestionD.promotionⅡ.语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Unit 2 The Olympic Games李仕才***阅读理解“It's a big hammer to crack a nut.” This is how one angry parent described the recent crackdown(严厉的打击) by London police on parents who drop their kids off at school by car.Yes，you read that correctly－the very mode of transportation that many American schools insist is the only safe way to deliver kids to school is now considered illegal in the UK.The decision to fine any vehicles seen dropping off or picking up kids within a particular zone of east London comes from city councilors'(议员) longterm efforts to make the area safer and less crowded.They say they've been trying for years “to encourage reasonable parking”，but in vain.Neighborhood residents complain frequently about their driveways being blocked by illegally parked cars for 15 minutes or more，often while they're trying to get to work，and the streets are long overcrowded.Now the rules have changed.Some parents are angry.Angie is a mother who made the “big hammer” comment and says the crackdown is “way over the top”．The nearest dropoff point for her sixyearold is now a fiveminute walk from the school.Others are happy with the decision，severe though it may seem.Councilor Jason Frost said：“Traffic has been clearly reduced，and more children are now walking to school，which is a great outcome.I would rather have complaints that we are slightly inconveniencing parents than hear that a child had been seriously injured because nothing was done.”I witness daily the chaos(混乱)created by these intown drivers，when I walk my own kids to school.There's a parking lot crowded with vehicles and a slowmoving train of cars moving in circles，many filling the air with harmful smoke.Meanwhile，the conversations around overweight children and the importance of daily physical activities continue to stand out in schools.1．Why is Angie opposed to the new rule?A．She is often fined by London police.B．She will lose her job as a school driver.C．She has adapted to the American practice.D．She thinks it adds inconvenience to her kid.2．Why has the new rule been made according to Jason Frost?A．On account of many complaints.B．Because of students' health problem.C．Owing to safety concern.D．Due to air pollution.3．What can be seen after the crackdown is carried out?A．Less daily chaos.B．Support from all people.C．More overweight children.D．Complaints from neighbors.4．What is the main idea of the text?A．Parents attempt to resist a school rule.B．London police cause widespread anger.C．American schools care more about kids' safety.D．Different voices are heard on a new traffic policy.【解题导语】本文讲述伦敦自实行在学校门口严禁停车这一做法以来的变化。

Unit 2 The Olympic Games课时作业Ⅰ.阅读理解(2019·厦门模拟)Did you know that the color of uniforms can influence the performance of an athlete? It may sound strange，but a study suggests this might be true.Two British scientists studied the results of four sports in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games where the athletes had been given either a red or a blue uniform.They discovered that when there was a big difference in the score，color had no influence on the result.But if it was a close match，the athlete in a red uniform was more likely to win.Then they looked at the uniforms of the soccer teams at the Euro 2004 tournament.Again，teams wearing red won more games.The two scientists got their idea from earlier studies of wild animals.It had been discovered that when a male show red on its body，it sends a signal of its power and strength.For example，in many kinds of monkey，the more the male shows off its red scars，the more females it can attract.Based on this fact，the British scientists thought that the idea might work for humans，too.According to them，when an athlete sees a competitor in a red uniform，he gets a feeling that his competitor could be stronger than him.And that_kind_of_feeling may have a bad influence on the player's performance in the actual game.Although the idea is interesting，most people don't accept that color signals in the animals world can really be useful to humans in sports.They think that it is unreasonable to develop an idea based on such a small number of examples.Much more research has to be done to prove the influence of uniform colors on the performance of athletes.【文章大意】本文属于科普类文章。

The Olympic Games***阅读理解Enjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater.These days，musicians are performing in private homes，at haircutting shops，at airports...even on ferry boats.Musicians like house concerts.At music clubs，they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol.People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O’Hair Salon，Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials.Then，they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space.The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon，near the hairdryers and makeup tables.“This is our first show at a hair salon，” Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last week’s performance.Frank said she and band members，Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time “interacting”with the audience.Concerts in people’s homes，or small businesses such as O’Hair’s，are becoming more popular，musicians say.“There is a more relaxed atmosphere，”said Domenic Cicala，a musician who opened up his O’Hair Salon to concerts.“People really get to know the artists.”At house concerts，people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers.Often，the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend，”said Matt Hart，with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers，a folkrock group based in Seattle.At many such concerts，the musicians do not need microphones.Yet，every word of their songs can be heard.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了现代音乐会在举办场地的选择上更加多样化，私人居所、理发店、机场等都成为音乐家表演的场所，并且备受青睐。
