高三英语一轮复习 考点强化练13 Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note 新人教版必修3
Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank NoteⅠ.阅读理解A(2017·浙江五校联考)Filled with much housework,meals and childcare at home,many people feel thatbeing at work sounds more like having a picnic.Even for those who have a happy family life,they feel actually more stressed at home than at work.Recently,a study carried out by the researchers at a university in the USA found lower levels of hormone(荷尔蒙) released in response to stress in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home.This was true for both men and women,and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work.But women are more likely to report feeling happier there.Men were more likely to feel happier at home.Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many.“Paid work is more valued in society,” said Sarah Damaske,the lead researcher on the study,“Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards.Yet none of us,no matter how long we’ve been doing it,ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.The support and friendship of co-workers also offer stress relief.Athome,meanwhile,stress sprea ds and increases quickly.“That’s the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,” Dr.Damaske says.Much of the advice to families and couples includes the warning to “leave work stress at office” and even to change our mind-set from work to home,for example,a walk around the block.The recent findings,though,suggest our home life,not our attitude,might be due for some change.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了人们更愿意在外上班而不愿在家做家务这一社会现象,并对这一现象进行了分析,给出了解决方法。

The titles featured here spark curiosity, encourage learning, and are lots of fun, too.About Time: A First Look at Time and ClocksAuthor: Bruce Koscielniak; Price: US $8.55Long ago people used the sun, the moon, and the water to tell time. Soon after we began using our knowledge about the natural world to build clocks and to create calendars made up of months and years. Centuries later, we have clocks and calendars all around us. This book tells the amazing story of how it all happened!Animalium: Welcome to the MuseumAuthor: Katie Scott; Price: US $8.99This book opens the doors of the natural history museum for your child all year round!

And that was it, the beginning of everything.” So begins this beautifully illustrated story of evolution. This book conveys not only the facts but also the excitement of the scientific explanation of our world, from the origin of the universe to the present reality of our planet.Bedtime Math: The Truth Comes OutAuthor: Laura Overdeck; Price: US $10.99This book makes learning about math as fun as dessert after dinner!

The origin of the sun and the moon.C. The old ways to measure time.D. The wildlife in the natural world. 2. What do Animalium and Bang! have in common?A. They are children’s novels.B. They are popular for cheap price.C. They are collected in the museum.D. They are illustrated stories for kids.3. Which book can make numbers fun and easy?A. Bang!.B. Bedtime Math.C. Animalium.D. About Time.BOn November 7, Lewis Pugh completed a one-kilometer swim in the freezing waters of King Edward Cove, off South Georgia in Antarctica. He was wearing only his swimming glasses, cap and Speedo!Pugh is an advocate for our oceans and seas, working to protect these ecosystems with their large diversity of marine life. When asked why he doesn’t w ear a wetsuit (防寒泳衣), Pugh says, “I ask world leaders to do everything they can to protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult and unpopular. If I’m asking them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a wetsuit would not send the right message.”It took Pugh about 19 minutes to complete the one-kilometer swim in Antarctica where the water averaged about 1.6 degrees Celsius. He says that his body can only tolerate about 20 minutes in the freezing waters before it starts shutting down. As he swims, his body temperature steadily drops, which in turn causes his muscle control to drop, slowing him down. When he is done with his swim, his support team rushes him to a hot shower and it takes almost an hour for his body temperature to return to normal.Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months of training to swim in such cold waters. Even expert swimmers who are unused to freezing waters can drown within minutes because of the physical shock experienced by the body. Pugh says he trained for six months before this swim.This is not the first time that Pugh has swum in dangerous conditions. In 2007, he swam one kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting Arctic ice due to climate change. In 2015, he swam in the Bay of Whales in Antarctica’s Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to help set up a marine reserve there.4. Why did Lewis Pugh swim without a wetsuit?A. To show his bravery.B. To swim faster.C. To build up his body.D. To have overnight fame.5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. His body temperature.B. His body.C. The water.D. The water temperature.6. What’s Pugh’s advice about swimming in freezing waters?A. One should be expert at swimming.B. One must be used to long-distance swimming.C. One should be ready to take on challenges.D. One must be adequately prepared for it.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. Lewis Pugh: achieving the impossibleB. How to survive a swim in cold watersC. Lewis Pugh: swimming for a causeD. How to prepare for extreme swimmingCGirls should take part in competitive sport to build confidence, and the leaders of a group of girls’ schools will argue this week. Helen Fraser, director of the Girls’ Da y School Trust (GDST), will tell the group that sport can help girls deal with failure.“All girls, not just the sporty ones, should take physical exercise,” Ms. Fraser says. Research that girls are far less active than boys is worrying, she argues. Ms. F raser will tell the group that she supports “sport for all”. “That’s why I love it when our schools have A, B, C and D teams and beyond,” she says.The GDST draws on research from the Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation which suggests only a quarter of girls in England meet basic levels of activity each week. One in five girls does no activity at all, twice the proportion of boys, the research suggests.Ms. Fraser says other research suggests that more than 80% of women business leaders played sports while growing up. She uses the examples of former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who once was a skater and tennis player, and the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, who was in the French national swimming team. Ms. Fraser says Olympic medalists like Jessica Ennis and Katherine Grainger are excellent role models for young women but says women’s sport needs more money and more news reports.Valerie Dunsford, head of Sheffield High School for Girls, part of GDST, said it was important to offer a large number of sports to attract different types of girls. “Not everyone wants to be out playing the hockey,” said Ms. Dunsford.8. Which of the following would Ms. Fraser agree with?A. Boys are born to be sport lovers.B. Girls are less confident than boys.C. More should be done to make girls do sports.D. Those taking part in the sport are always successes.9. What’s the proportion of boys who never take exercise?A. 1/10.B. 1/5.C. 1/4.D. 2/5.10. Ms. Fraser mentions those famous women to show __________.A. hard work will pay offB. it’s not easy to be greatC. sport can help girls to succeedD. it’s necessary to balance work and sport11. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To explain the key to success.B. To show the importance of sport.C. To introduce more sports to girls.D. To encourage more girls to do sports.DWe’ve been told for years that self-driving cars are just approaching. But it’s time to accept the truth, said Darrell Etherington on TechCr unch: they “aren’t going to happen” in our lifetimes.I’ve long been excited about the potential of this technology, but my remaining optimism left me finally last month when Ford and V olkswagen announced they were stopping running Argo AI, their autonomous driving tech joint firm. Argo was considered a leader in the field. But Ford feels that “producing profitable, fully autonomous vehicles on a large scale is a long way off”, and it could no longer stomach the increasing costs. This is just the latest setback.It is true that General Motors is making progress in trialing driverless vehicles on the roads, but only on a small scale. Tesla is pushing ahead with its self-driving technology, but its ambitions can be limited by an investigation that is looking into some accidents inv olving its “Autopilot” system. Some of the firmest believers in self-driving technology have turned nonbelievers. State-of-the-art robot cars still “struggle” with construction sites, road blocks, and sometimes even simple left turns.I recently took a ride in a self-driving taxi in the city of Chandler, Arizona. There was an undeniable horror-movie aspect of sitting in the back of a vehicle and watching the steering wheel turn autonomously. To my relief, it slowed when other vehicles behaved improperly. I was just about to feel relaxed and text a co-worker when the taxi came to a sudden stop at one point. A truck stopped in front of us and wanted to go backwards in order to take a missed turning. Unclear about what to do next, the taxi “chirped (吱吱叫) to call a human specialist to solve the situation”. Fortunately, the truck driver decided to drive on and we continued our way. My driverless experience made me believe this technology may never be possible to make passengers relaxed when they are in a driverle ss vehicle. Even so, I won’t undervalue the technological advances that have been made— after all, who knows what the future will look like.12. What can we infer from Darrell Etherington’s words?A. Self-driving cars will be replaced by other technology.B. Self-driving cars will change our travel mode.C. Self-driving cars are approaching us.D. Self-driving cars are just a dream now.13. What does the underlined word “stomach” probably mean in Paragraph 2?A. Endure.B. Reduce.C. Regain.D. Remove.14. Why are General Motors and Tesla mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. To state self-driving technology has made big progress.B. To prove self-driving technology has a long way to go.C. To show self-driving technology is totally impractical.D. To stress self-driving technology has great potential.15. What is the author’s attitude towards the self-driving technology?A. Critical.B. Conventional.C. Favorable.D. Indifferent.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Everyone is going to drive electrically-powered cars, so in a few years, people w on’t worry about running out of gas. Some of the large car companies are already working on this new technology. F&C Motors, a major car company, for example, is holding a press conference next week. After the press conference, the company will show its new electronically-operated models. Transportation in the future won’t be limited to the ground; many people predict that traffic will quickly move to the sky. In the coming years, instead of radio reports about road conditions and highway traffic, news repo rts will talk about traffic jams in the sky. The sky isn’t the limit. In the future, you will probably even be able to take a trip to the moon. Instead of listening to regular plane announcements, you will hear someone say: the spaceship to the moon leaves in 10 minutes. Please check your equipment. And remember no more than 10 ounces of luggage are allowed.Text 7.Both John and Sue started to work in a successful firm in New York in the same year after they had just graduated from a nearby college. They were delighted to be hired by one of the best firms in the city. John’s first project was to help a client sell a new game on the market. At the beginning Sue was required to work with a sportswear company to design new clothing. As time passed, they felt that their tasks became more and more difficult. Finally John and Sue realized that they had been working with two of the toughest clients in town. Although John completed his job quickly and successfully, he was very angry when he learned that the boss had assigned him a difficult client on purpose. As a result, he not only complained to his colleagues but also to the boss’s secretary. Sue, on the other hand, had a more difficult time satisfying her first client and she took several more months to complete the task. However, she just laughed when she heard that the boss had made the assignment deliberately. Over the next two years, John worked unwillingly with each assignment. Sue accepted each assignment cheerfully. And when problems came up, she would say “No problem, I can handle it.” Although Sue took a longer time to complete her projects than John and both were equally successful on the assignments they completed, Sue got promoted first when there came a vacancy.[参考答案]http//1.
