Unit 16 StoriesⅠ.阅读理解AWhen I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. I've lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in my neighborhood, there are shootups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who were barred in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark wouldn't let that happen.Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.Mr. Clark was selected as Disney's 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of a hat; those students would go with him to Los Angeles to get the award. But when the time came to draw names, Mr. Clark said，“You're all going.〞On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn't want his class to end. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta, but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education, and wrote a bestselling book based on his classroom rules, The Essential 55. In 2003, Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit orphanages. It was the most amazing experience of my life. It's now my dream to one day start a group of women's clubs, helping people from all backgrounds.文章大意：本文是一篇写人记叙文。

2021年高考英语一轮复习Unit16Stories高考试卷分块专练北师大版选修练一阅读理解提速练限时35分钟第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)ASigns of a global economic recovery are glimmering, but are they enough to account for taking a major vacation? Well, the world is always bigger than our wallets. One of the simplest options is to find a place that has a lot to offer but hasn't yet been hit by the price inflation that es with mass popularity. To help travelers in search of value, we've assembled, with the help of professionals from USA Today, CNN and Lonely Planet, a list of destinations that are worth going to while they're still cheap.UkraineIts name translates as “land on the edge”， and this year Ukraine may be on the edge of discovery for budget travelers in search of rich history. Visitors can enjoy its cultural wealth, the warmth of its people and the fact that their daily spending is below ＄50 (307 yuan)．The country's UNESCO World Heritage Sites are cooperating with locals to offer special deals, such as a traditional meal for just a few dollars. It's the kind of travel experience you will recall once the moment has passed, so now is the time to build those memories.South KoreaSouth Korea is a visitorfriendly country. Not only can budget travelers find the basics — from hotel rooms to great meals — at reasonable prices, but the country also has a ton of free parks, discounts and other free services, especially for visitors. For instance, until August 25, a free shuttle bus transports foreign visitors between the capital city of Seoul and Jeonju, a popular tourist destination. A free phone service offers tourists multilingual assistance 24 hours a day.TurkeyTurkey is on the rise, so to get the best of the new at the price of the old, go now. In the last decade, the country's tourism facilities have grown by 67 percent, according to USA Today, and more recently it has emerged as a global airline hub. This country of ancient ruins, historic towns and beckoning beaches is a destination to watch this summer.EgyptPopular resort areas in Egypt, like Sharm El Sheikh, are as relaxing as they ever were —and also less stressful for your wallet. “The overall sentiment is that resort areas like Sharm El Sheikh are very safe，” said Tony Cardoza, president of a US travel agen cy, in an interview with CNN. “But most vacationers appear to prefer traveling to places that haven't seen as much civil unrest.” That preference has made Egypt a buyer's market. Low demand also has another benefit: smaller crowds. “Clients going now have been able to get pictures ofthemselves in front of the pyramids with no other tourists blocking the view，” Cardoza said.语篇解读：本文是应用文。

【优化指导】（课标全国）高考英语总复习课时作业16 北师大版一、阅读理解AThe W orld Health Organization is using a new combination of drugs to treat African trypanosomiasis disease，also known as sleeping sickness.The drugs will be given out in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.Officials says the new treatment has fewer side effects.It is also more effective and less costly than the drugs traditionally used.In addition，the new treatment reduces the number of injections needed.And it shortens the amount of time patients must spend in hospital.Sleeping sickness threatens millions of people in 36 countries in Africa.Most live in poor rural areas.The disease is caused by the trypanosoma parasite(寄生物)．It is spread to humans through the bite of infected tsetse mon signs of sleeping sickness include fever，headaches，extreme tiredness and pain in the muscles and joints.Early identification of the disease may be difficult because many infected people do not show any immediate symptoms.Over time，the parasites invade the central nervous system.The disease causes sleep disorders，mental confusion，personality changes and speech problems.If left untreated，sleeping sickness kills.It’s estimated that about 60,000 people are currently infected with the disease.It develops in two different forms.Trypanosoma gambiense is responsible for 90% of the reported cases of sleeping sickness.People infected with this form may develop the disease o ver many years without any major symptoms.Until now the drug melarsoprol is used to treat patients in the advanced stage of s leeping sickness.But the drug requires many painful injections several times a day for several weeks.It also causes bad side effects，some of which can be deadly.In Uganda，a new study has confirmed earlier research linking the spread of sleeping sickness to infected farm animals.The writers of the study have called for stronger rules requiring cattle t o be treated before being sold at market.1．The following a re the advantages of the new treatment EXCEPT______.A．having an intended effectB．low priceC．reducing injections and hospitalizationD．no bad side effects2．Which of the following statements is WRONG?A．Nine people in ten infected with sleeping sickness in Africa result from trypanosoma gambiense.B．The invasion of sleeping sickness may lead to death.C．The drug melarsoprol is used to treat patients in the early stage of sleeping sickness.D．There are many disadvantages for the drug melarsoprol to control sleeping sickness.3．It can be infe rred from the last paragraph that______.A．farm animals infected by trypanosoma parasite is a main source of sleeping sicknessB．all the animals must be get rid of by the governmentC．there isn’t any rules requiring cattle to be treated before being sold at market in UgandaD．cattle is forbidden to enter the market before being infected by trypanosoma parasite4．The passage is primarily written to______.A．explain the importance of good sleep habitsB．provide the latest medical treatment informationC．prevent African trypanosomiasis diseaseD．introduce the common signs of sleeping sicknessBI’d been living on Anfu Road in Shanghai for about six months when I discovered the lane.I was hesitan t to use it.“I feel like I’m walking into someone’s home，”I told a friend.“Oh，everyone uses the lanes，”she assured me.Since moving to China from the United States，I had been wanting a neighborhood where local people knew my face，my routine，and therefore，a little something about my life.So one day，feeling brave and a little lone ly，I turned from Anfu Road into the lane.At the mouth，four or five cooks were cleaning potatoes and greens.A little way down，a woman was hanging her freshly washed clothes on a line.Midway down thelane，I saw an old woman sitting on a chair with a bowl in her lap.She was cleaning beans.“Nihao，”I said as I passed.She didn’t even look up.A few days later，I took the same route and I saw the same old woman sitting on the same chair with the same bowl.She was sorting greens.“Nihao，”I said，this time a little louder.She didn’t even look up.This went on for months.It bothered me，but I figured she had her reasons.After all，I was just a foreigner，passing through on my way to someplace else.Then my husband and I adopted our daughter and brought her home to Shanghai.Tully was 8 months old.On the first day that I walked with Tully，the cooks dropped their knives and potatoes and stared.I smiled at them.“Nihao，”I said.They smiled back.The n I saw the old woman on the chair.She was watching me.As I passed，Tully made the funny noise she liked to make and the old woman met my eyes and smiled.“Nihao，”she said to me.And that was it.Motherhood—the shared experience that crosses all cult ural lines—moved this old woman to finally acknowledge the foreigner who wanted so much to be a part of her neighborhood.I call my daughter my ambassador of love.5．Why was the author hesitant to use the lane?A．She wasn’t willing to share the lane with others.B．She felt like stepping into others’homes.C．She was afraid of being refused.D．She was a newcomer and wasn’t skilled at using it.6．Which of the following about the author is NOT true，according to the text?A．She saw several cooks at the mouth of the lane.B．She saw a woman hanging washed clothes.C．She went into the lane because of the strong sense of loneliness.D．She saw an old woman midway down the lane.7．What did the author think when the o ld woman didn’t response?A．The old woman was concentrating on other things.B．The old woman didn’t have time.C．She was not polite enough.D．She was a foreigner who was just passing by.二、短文填空根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2021版高三英语一轮复习第1部分基础知识解读课时提能练22Unit16Stories（B）北师大版选修6Ⅰ.阅读明白得(2021·黄冈检测)On Christmas Day，2003，a woman named Nancy Sue Brown took her daughter and grandchildren to see a movie at an AMC theater.When the movie was over，the crowd made for the exits.A theater employee had just finished mopping the hallway and dutifully placed the “wet floor”sign in the slippery area.No one slipped due to the wet conditions，but someone did manage to knock over the sign.And by the time Ms.Brown got to the area，the sign was lying on the floor.And shortly thereafter，so was she.Her foot got caught in the sign，in a bad way，and she fell.Unfortunately Ms.Brown had undergone a back operation，and the fall caused more damage than it otherwise would have.So she and her husband sued(提起诉讼)．AMC argued that the entire point of the “wet floor”sign above was to warn of danger，and therefore，courts should encourage the use by not allowing Brown's case to proceed(连续进行)．AMC referred to a case about a December，1998 incident，where a “wet floor”sign，not in use，fell to the floor causing another tripandfall.In that case，Georgia's Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the store，but didn't go so far as to say that“wet floor”signs couldn't give rise to legal liability(责任)in tripandfall accidents.In the Brow n case，the Supreme Court therefore rejected AMC's argument that the former case applied.But the Browns argued something surprising that the“wet floor”sign was，itself，dangerous，because “using this type of sign in areas passed by lots of customers creates an unreasonable risk of foreseeable harm to the public in the form of tripping hazards(危险)．”That's right—the safety sign，used in the way it was designed，was itself dangerous.The court thankfully didn't accept that argument，at least not entirely.But it did conclude that Brown's case could continue to a jury(陪审团)—“a merchant's selection and use of equipment designed to warn customers of one danger that has the potential to expose them to a different one”．【语篇解读】本文要紧介绍了布朗夫人在美国一家AMC影院看完电影离开时，被“小心地滑”的警示牌绊倒受伤后，向法院提起诉讼的缘故以及法院的审判结果。

I've found it！”Too bad, however, Archimedes probably never uttered the phrase in that way.First and foremost, Archimedes himself never wrote about this episode, although he spent plenty of time detailing the laws of buoyancy (浮力)．The oldest authority for the nakedArchimedes eureka story is Vitruvius, a Roman writer, who included the tale in his introduction to his ninth book of architecture.“Vitruvius may h ave gotten it wrong，” says Chris Schmitt, a mathematician at the University of Berlin and a selfdescribed Archimedes fan.“The method attributed to Archimedes in the story works in theory so it sounds right, but when you actually try it, you find that the real world gets in the way.”In fact, Schmitt is one of a long line of scientists, including Galileo, who have read the account and thought, “That can't be right.” As Galileo wrote, Archimedes could have achieved a far more precise result using his own law of buoyancy and an accurate scale.In fact, the surface tension of water can make the volume of a light object like a crown immeasurable.“There may be some truth to it，” Schmitt adds.“Archimedes did measure the volume of things but the eureka moment was ma ybe due to his original discovery concerning buoyance, not to sitting in the bathtub and then running through the streets naked.”Much like Newton's apple, the exclamation persists because of the enduring power of the story: a golden crown, a life in the balance, a naked mathematician.The_suspect_foundations_of_the_eureka_moment_take_nothing_away_fr om_the_word's_ability_to_uniquely_and_concisely_convey_the_flash_of_inspiration .语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。
