Wildlife Protection李仕才【阅读理解插花】Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could tak e one of my children out alone, ”said Christie.Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.The children were extremely quick to accept the i dea of“Mommy and Me”time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around, ”Christie shared with me quietly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone time. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering(口吃)son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.The “Mommy and Me”time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child—talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves(应得到)to be an only child at least once in a while.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

Wildlife Protection李仕才一、阅读理解A Japanese telecom company has released a robot that it says has emotions. But rather than running in fear from it, we’ve welcomed it into our homes: Pepper, the “emotional robot”, sold out within a minute of going on sale.Created by Aldebaran Robotics and Japanese mobile giant SoftBank, Pepper went on sale to the general public in Japan on June 20. It is “the first humanoid(类人的) robot designed to live with humans, ” Aldebaran says on its website. Pepper costs about $1, 600. And like all good mobile products, there’s a $120 per month data fee, as well as an $80 per month damage insurance fee. According to a news release, Pepper can pick up on human emotions and create its own using a “multi-layer neural(神经的) network. ” Pepper’s touch sensors and cameras are said to influence its mood, which is displayed on the tablet-sized screen on its chest.Pepper will sigh when unhappy, and can go around your house recording your family’s daily activity. Aldebaran says Pepper can feel “joy, surprise, anger, doubt and sadness, ” but it doesn’t say how strongly it can feel these emotions. What happens when Pepper is having a bad day? Will it, like many humans, become uncooperative? Will it ask for some time alone? What happens if it figures out that its purpose in life is just to engage in small talks? Thankfully, Pepper is only about four feet tall, with roller balls instead of legs, so if it is angry with and even turns on its owner, you’ll be safe if you can make it upstairs.Aldebara n says in reality, there’re probably quite a few decades away from artificial intelligence that could generate real emotions. Aldebaran wasn’t immediately available for comment on when Pepper will be available outside of Japan, but additional sales are scheduled for July after the first 1, 000 units sell out. SoftBank currently uses the robots in its stores as greeters, and it plans to offer Pepper to other stores in the future. Hopefully “boredom” is not an emotion Pepper can feel.【文章大意】本文介绍日本的一家电信公司发布了第一台“情感机器人”, 阐述了情感机器人的使用费用、功能以及发展前景。

The Frilled Lizards frill normally hangs around its neck, and is made out of a flap of skin. When threatened the Frilled Lizard will raise its frill making it seen more dangerous.BandicootThere are several species of Bandicoot around Australia, and although occasionally they can be seen during the day, they are generally nocturnal. Bandicoots are small creatures only about the size of a rat and eat small insects and plants. Several of the Bandicoots around Australia include the Eastern Barred Bandicoot, which is now rare around Australia and the Southern Brown Bandicoot found in eastern and western parts of Australia.KoalaKoalas are small bearlike creatures that live along the east coast of Australia, with their habitat amongst(在……之中) the famous Eucalyptus trees. However, koalas only like to eat a small percentage of the Eucalyptus trees found around Australia. Koalas have hard black noses, with sharp claws and a thick furry coat and can grow to a weight of about 10kg. Most of their time is spent asleep in the trees, which is the best place to see a koala.DingoDingoes are found in various areas across Australia, and unlike domestic dogs they do not bark. Instead,the Dingo makes a howling sound that is very particular. Dingoes generally eat mice, rabbits and rats, although sometimes they can also attack livestock when hungry.1.When in danger the Frilled Lizard will raise its frill to ________.A.look more beautifulB.make itself fortableC.frighten its enemyD.attract the opposite sex2.What does the underlined word “nocturnal” mean in the passage?A.Dangerous when attacked.B.Active at night.C.Small in size.D.Gentle in the daytime.3.According to the passage, which animal likes resting in the tree?A.Frilled Lizard.B.Dingo.C.Bandicoot.D.Koala.参考答案：1.C; 2.B; 3.D解析：1.[细节理解题。

必修2 Unit 4 Wildlife protection李仕才一、阅读理解AWhen Columbus ‘sailed the ocean blue in 1492’ he wasn't looking for America, he was searching for a route from Spain to China; America just got in the way.The Spanish were after the riches of Asia: silk, dates, spices. Until later adventurers discovered how to sail to the Far East, trade with China depended on the Silk Road. The trade between China and Europe brought huge wealth, so the Spanish had a strong desire to find a new way to the East. Eventually a way appeared; as sea traffic developed from the 17th Century onwards, the overland route diminished.Now China is seeking to revive(复兴)the Silk Road and is preparing to invest 4 trillion pounds in new roads, rail links, oil pipelines and other basic facilities. It is hoped that goods can be shipped westwards by land far more quickly and economically than by sea.But the plan is also to attract more tourists. Actually, China does pretty well for tourists already; it's the world's fourth most visited country. Two cities —Beijing and Shanghai—possess the tourism business, with significant interest in destinations such as Xi'an and Chengdu. While Beijing is modern, cities such as Lanzhou and Dunhuang have one foot planted firmly in old China.Other places featured include Xi'an, the former capital of China, where you can come face to face with the Terracotta Army built to protect China's first emperor in the afterlife. From Lanzhou tour members take the train to Jiayuguan, China's western gateway and a key location on the Silk Road.There is also a fourday coach journey along the original Silk Route through the Xinjiang region to Kashgar. Along the way, at Kurla, you can visit the ruins of the Iron Fortress.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。

Volunteering Is FunOne afternoon I was sitting at home feeling so bored.Instead of feeling sorry for myself， I wanted to meet people and have new experiences so I decided to start volunteering.I searched on my computer and found a website where I could volunteer on a farm in France.My time working on a farm was a new experience for me.It was basically a free holiday as food and accommodation were provided.However，it was not your typical holiday as I had to look after fifteen horses and sleep at the top of a tower in a castle！I was an awful farmer but it did not matter because I made some great friends.However，you do not need to go abroad to volunteer.I have had plenty of adventures at home as volunteering can become a hobby.For example，I love singing so I had a good laugh waving my arms in an attempt to conduct my local choir.I did slowly improve and it felt great to conduct the choir in a concert.At university，I organised a concert for charity with my friends.It was really fun founding bands and raising money for a cause we believe in.It is true that you feel good volunteering but there are also other advantages.I once volunteered as a server at a charity sports event where the organizers gave me cupcakes to thank me for my services.I also volunteered in a charity shop so I found loads of nice cheap clothes to update my wardrobe（衣柜）.While this is all fun，my favourite aspect of volunteering is creating and sharing stories.My terrible attempts at farming have given me hilarious stories to tell！Talking to volunteers from different countries and backgrounds has also helped me learn more about the world.I feel thankful to have had so much fun with many nice people thanks to volunteering.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

(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，listening 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’s true feeling？Now you might not know for sure，but be considerate，open to understanding，and ask thoughtful questions.【解题导语】本文讲述了聆听的内涵。

Unit 4 Wildlife Protection李仕才一、阅读理解。

It's generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes. They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment. They pay $5 for a caramel brulée latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions(性情),but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bem, by observing our own behavior. We can be strangers to ourselves. If we knew our own minds, why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes. Actually, we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.Moreover, we don't just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character — we infer characters that weren't there before. Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to recognize. Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn't. Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us. We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do, though it may not be in compliance(符合) with their true desires. Therefore, we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut's advice: "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."1.According to the passage, personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to .A. determine one's behaviorB. reflect one's tasteC. influence one's surroundingsD. result from one's habits2.Which of the following would Daryl Bem most probably agree with?A. The return of a wallet can indicate one's honesty.B.A kind person will offer his seat to the old.C. One recycles plastics to protect the environment.D. One buys latte out of true love of coffee.3.What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?A. We fail to realize our inner dispositions.B. We can be influenced by outside pressures.C. Our behavior is the result of our true desires.D. Our characters can shape our social relationships.4.What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?A. Personalities and attitudes.B. Preferences and habits.C. Behavior and personalities.D. Attitudes and preferences.【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。
