选修6U18李仕才一、阅读理解AScientists in Britain have managed to teach bumblebees(大黄蜂) to pull strings to get to food and then pass on what they have learned to others in their colony(群体)—showing a high level of intelligence despite their tiny brains.Researchers at Queen Mary University of London said the experiments, often used to test the intelligence of apes (猿) and birds, showed for the first time that some insects are up to the task, and can also pass skills on through several generations.The findings add to the evidence suggesting the ability for ＂culture spread＂— the ability to learn and pass on knowledge and skills — may not be exclusive to humans.In the research, published in the journal PLOS Biology on Tuesday, the scientists were able to train 23 out of a group of 40 bees to pull strings with their legs and feet.The strings were attached to discs —or artificial ＂flowers＂—containing food at their center but placed under a transparent screen. The bees, spotting the food beneath the screen, learned to pull the ＂flowers＂ out by pulling the string with their legs and feet to be able to get to it.From another group of bees given the chance to solve the task without any training, only two of 110 were successful.Another group of bees was then allowed to observe the trained bees pulling the strings, and 60 percent of them successfully learned the skill. Finally, trained bees were put in colonies, and the scientists found the technique spread successfully to a majority of the colony’s worker bees.Lars Chittka, a Queen Mary University professor who guided the project, said the team is interested in figuring out the brain processes behind the bees’ learning and teaching skills.1.What does the underlined word ＂exclusive＂ in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Ordinary.B. Unique.C. Beneficial.D. Widespread.2.What did the researchers find about bees?A. Bees learn best in insects.B. Bees are as clever as birds.C. Bees are born good learners.D. Bees can be trained to learn skills.3.What may the research team focus on next?A. What else bees can do.B. Where bees learn skills.C. How bees teach others.D. How bees’ brain work.4.What may be the best title for the text?A. Small bees, great abilitiesB. Bees can learn and teachC. Bees are smarterD. Let bees learn【文章大意】本文为说明文，属于科普类文章。

高三英语一轮复习——Book 6 Unit 18 Beauty
高三英语一轮复习——Book 6Unit 18BeautyⅠ.阅读理解AI have learned something about myself since I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago.Even though I own a home in Port St.Lucie just minutes from the ocean，every winter an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south.I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse.Instead of enjoying Florida’s mild winters，I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island，the place I called home for 65 years.I’m like a migratory bird that has lost its sense of timing and direction，my wings flapping against season.So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am.Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees，I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire.I also long for the bright display of colors—first in the fall trees，and then in the lights around homes and at Rockefeller Center.Floridians decorate too，but can’t create the special feel of a New England winter.I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven’t seen in months.What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner，or watching neighbors’ children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special.I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snowcovered branch (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement community in Ridge，and I’m grateful that I don’t have to shovel.)While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island，they are some of the reasons why I come back.Who says you can’t go home?语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文，作者解释了自己思念故乡的原因。

I can remember all the pain you've caused me.Do you remember the night when you almost took my father's life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you and to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went turning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one badly hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? My friends were_intrigued_by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could.I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen head over heels for you. “I'm so embarrassed，” they said as I held their hair back so that they could throw up. “I'm sorry，”they said when I called taxis for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won't happen again，” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night due to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car head-on and killed two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was among them at all. She never saw him again. And it was all your fault.I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you've caused. Sure, you've made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is not excusable. Stop attracting the people I love! Stop hurting me, please.Sincerely，Me [语篇解读]这篇文章是一封书信。

ALife is not a beauty contest. We all focus on our imperfections (瑕疵). In fact, you should see yourself in a proper way. It's necessary for you to know that self-knowledge (自知之明) is the most important beauty secret.Don't hate yourself for wanting to be beautiful. Good-looking people get special treatment from strangers, employers and even their own mothers. We're not even close to our objective when it comes to judging our own looks. Other people see the whole package. But when we look in the mirror, we're likely to pay attention to imperfections. For example：That bump (凸起) on your friend's nose? It's her feature! It gives her character! But to you, that thing on your nose is completely ugly. Our opinions of our own looks are also changeable.So if we can't trust the judgment of ourselves, or the words of friends and family which can take away our doubts, we're left to the cool judgment of strangers to satisfy our curiosity about our appearances. The website “Hot or Not”，which lets people hand their photos in for others to judge, had nearly 2 million daily page views within a week in 2000. But it's not the best way to improve the judgment of yourself because you have no confidence yet in your mind.Everyone may pay too much attention to his or her own appearance, and at the same time worry about being criticized. If you are particularly attentive to your body, or if you feel uncomfortable in public, you are certainly hotter than you think. And we all have the ability to change how other people judge us without changing our looks. When you believe that you look good, others will see you in a more favorable way. Improve your impression from the inside. Understanding your own advantages can help you stop worrying about your appearance — and look better.1．What can we infer from the first paragraph?A．We should focus on our advantages.B．Don't be cheated by others' praise.C．Judging oneself in a right way is important.D．It's unnecessary to know the meaning of beauty.2．What does the example in the second paragraph suggest?A．Good-looking people are more popular than ordinary ones.B．Some bad-looking people are afraid to look in the mirror.C．Some people judge one by his appearance simply.D．Sometimes we make our own imperfections bigger.3．“Hot or Not”．A．is a website which allows others to comment on your character B．can't change your ideas completely unless you're confidentC．is a good way to make friends and makes you popular onlineD．can satisfy one's curiosity about others' secrets4．From the last paragraph we can learn ．A．changing our looks can make us more attractiveB．people shouldn't care about their own disadvantagesC．we can make ourselves more beautiful in the mindD．it's useless to pay attention to your appearanceBChain of LoveOne day a man saw an old lady, stranded (使搁浅) on the side of the road. Despite the dim (昏暗的) light, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out.Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He said，“I'm here to help you, ma'am. By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.”The car had broken down but it was easily fixed. As he was tightening up the screws (螺丝) on the door, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk (后备箱). The lady asked how much she owed him. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed.A few miles down the road the lady saw a small café. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase.The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant (怀孕的), but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude when she served her.The lady finished her meal, and paid with a hundred dollar bill. Thewaitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be.There was a note on the napkin (餐巾)：“You don't owe me anything. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: do not let this chain of love end with you.”Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.5．Why was the old lady worried when the man offered help?A．Because the man looked like a bad guy.B．Because she didn't trust anybody.C．Because she thought the man was going to overcharge her.D．Because she had no money with her.6．How did the man ask the old lady to thank him?A．He said she could pay him back next time she met him.B．He didn't ask her to do anything.C．He asked her to help people in need.D．He charged her the exact money.7．What does the author intend to tell us with this story?A．Helping others is a great virtue.B．How to help others in an appropriate way.C．Don't judge people by their appearance.D．The best way to pay back kindness is to pass it on.CWhat kind of job do you want to do in the future? One that earns the most money or one that gives you the highest social status? What about a job that makes you feel happy? Surprisingly, these three things do notalways go together in the job world.According to a general social survey released in this month by the National Organization for Research at the University of Chicago in the US, the ten happiest jobs are not those with better pay or higher social status. They are ordinary jobs.But what is it that makes a “happy” job?Researchers found that people are happier when they feel they are doing something worthwhile. Six of the top ten happiest jobs are based heavily on helping others, such as firefighters, teachers, and physical therapists (理疗师)．Being able to express oneself is also important for people to feel satisfied. Take authors as an example. Their pay is “ridiculously (可笑地) low or non-existe nt”，but “the autonomy (自主权) of writing down the contents of your own mind” leads to happiness, wrote business author Steve Denning on his blog on Forbes. com.These jobs form a sharp contrast (对比) with the top ten “hated jobs” released by career website Career Bliss earlier this year. Director of information technology, product manager, technical specialist and others that are generally considered respectable jobs are on the list.Todd May from The New York Times didn't find the results strange. He argued that “a meaningful life must, in some sense then, [make people] feel worthwhile”. If a person doesn't participate in the causes “that are generally defined as worthy, like feeding and clothing the poor”，their life will lack meaning, he said. Work takes up the greater part of most people's lives.

课时作业(二十三)题型组合练——练规范(阅读理解＋语法填空＋短文改错＋书面表达)限时：55分钟Ⅰ.阅读理解ADear Alcohol，You've been around forever. I can remember all the pain you've caused me.Do you remember the night when you almost took my father's life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you and to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went turning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one badly hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? My friends were_intrigued_by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could.I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen head over heels for you. “I'm so embarrassed，” they said as I held their hair back so that they could throw up. “I'm sorry，”they said when I called taxis for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won't happen again，” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night due to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car head-on and killed two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was among them at all. She never saw him again. And it was all your fault.I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you've caused. Sure, you've made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is not excusable. Stop attracting the people I love! Stop hurting me, please.Sincerely，Me [语篇解读]这篇文章是一封书信.作者用拟人化的手法，写信给酒，痛斥它给人们带来的伤害，以此劝诫人们远离酒.1．What did Alcohol do to the author's father that night?A．It made him drunken and took his life away.B．It made him kill two other people when driving.C．It got him into a car accident and badly injured.D．It got him into trouble and got his stomach pumped.解析：细节理解题.根据第二段最后两句可知答案为C项.答案：C2．What does the underlined phrase “were intrigued by”probably mean in the letter?A．Were interested in.B．Were satisfied with.C．Were familiar with.

Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough，each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth，successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, or else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda.They knew, each one of them, that their productivity hadceased (停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man. What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible.The words were few, but they became memorably impressed in my mind：“In_the_sweat_of_the_face_shall_you_eat_the_bread.”To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.[语篇解读]本文为一篇议论文，题材为人生哲理类.文章开头首先提出世上最难实现的两件事是通过诚实劳动获得财富和获得财富后学会如何合理地使用财富.然后论述了人生的意义在于一息尚存，奋斗不已.5．Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?A．Wealth results from honest effort.B．The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.C．For some people，no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than Scotch and soda. D．The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.解析：推理判断题.根据第一段中“Yet，it seemed to me，...through Scotch and soda.”可知，很多人借助酒来逃避现实，虚度人生，故选C项.答案：C6．The underlined sentenc e “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means “________”．A．Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your faceB．No pain，no gainC．Failure is the mother of successD．Bread comes from the sweat on your face解析：词义猜测题.根据上下文可知，作者认为幸福而有意义的人生是通过奋斗获得成功，由此可猜测画线部分应突出努力付出和收获之间的关系，故选B项.答案：B7．We learn from the passage that the author ________.A．was a wealthy person in the communityB．held a positive attitude towards an active lifeC．was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)D．kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed解析：推理判断题.通读全文可知作者的生活态度是“一息尚存，奋斗不已”，故选B项. 答案：B8．What is implied in the passage by the writer?A．To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.B．Where there is a will，there is a way.C．As life is but like a dream，a man is like a fruit tree.D．If you cease to struggle，you cease to live.解析：推理判断题.通读全文尤其是第一段结尾处的“When a fruit tree ceases...so with man.”可知，文中暗含了作者“一息尚存，奋斗不已”的生活态度，故选D项.答案：DⅡ.语法填空The Language of LoveMusic is a universal language，which has the most powerful magic in the world.Music is a sweet language to show love to those who love us and those who 1.are_loved(love) by us.Music is also a friendly language for unfamiliar people to show kindness.It is living everywhere and all the time in our daily life.I learned this while 2.taking (take) care of a seagull unfortunate enough to swallow a hook (挂钩)．After calling the wildlife rescue center and learning that all its 3.vehicles (vehicle) were out on other business，I carefully 4.wrapped(wrap) the wild bird in a towel and carried him to my friend's car.The only way 5.to_keep(keep) him calm was by singing.For 30 minutes，I sang 6.softly (soft) to the small creature until finally delivering him 7.to those who could help.I'm not certain 8.what happened afterward，but for that brief period，we two vastly different species connected，bridging 9.the gap between us through songs.It doesn't matter whether there will be 10.difficulties (difficult) in communication，for love is always the theme of each piece of music.Ⅲ.短文改错I was not good in math in the first year of junior high school.Having been failed so many times in math exams，I was anxious about the subject.Every time I tried hardly to work out a math problem，I was afraid of making mistakes，that really made me feel helpless.Luckily，I met a nice math teacher in second year.She told me that I didn't need to worry about making mistakes because I could find out my shortcomings through my mistake.She always encouraged myself to try again whenever I make a mistake.Thanks to my teacher's encouragement，I became interesting in math and made rapid progress.My experience proves that failure was the mother of success and that we can learn a lot from our mistakes.答案：math in the first year of junior high school.Having failed so many I was not good inattimes in math exams，I was anxious about the subject.Every time I tried hardlyhardto work out amath problem，I was afraid of making mistakes，thatwhichreally made me feel helpless.Luckily，I meta nice math teacher in ∧thesecond year.She told me that I didn't need to worry about makingmistakes because I could find out my shortcomings through my mistakemistakes.She always encouragedmyselfme to try again whenever I makemadea mistake.Thanks to my teacher's encouragement，Ibecame interestinginterestedin math and made rapid progress.My experience proves that failure wasisthe mother of success and that we can learn a lot from our mistakes.Ⅳ.书面表达假定你是李华，你的英国笔友David寒假期间想来你所在的城市学习汉语，让你帮他选择培训学校.请用英语给他写一封电子邮件，推荐一所理想的培训学校，并告知他学习时间、课程内容、食宿、交通及学费等情况.注意：1.词数100左右；2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；3．开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数.Dear David，________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Yours，Li Hua 参考范文]ear_David，ou're welcome to our city to learn Chinese during the winter vacation.I'm happy to recomend a nice training school to you.The 21st Century Chinese Training School is well-known for providing training for foreign learners of Chinese.It lies in downtown Zhengzhou, where many buses are available.It offers a series of training courses during the winter vacation either from January 10 to January 25 or from February 10 to February 25.
