题型专项突破-Unit2阅读理解(英语学习篇)一、阅读理解阅读下列短文,从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
1.One Canada, Two LanguagesCanada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages:English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country, but only one of these—Quebec is known as “French Canada”. This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.Canada left the British Empire (帝国) in 1867 to become an independent country and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare.The same goes for traffic signs and menus, for example, outside of Quebec, there are only a few places where you‟ll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants,it5s almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland (中心地带)of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, by law,have labels (标签)and instructions in both languages.In Canada‟s English-speaking provinces, official bilingualism means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this program, they are taught most of their subjects in French.If a student begins the course in kindergarten (幼儿园)or Grade One, it is likely that all his lessons will be in French. However, if he starts at junior high school, 25 percent of the teaching will continue to be in English.(1) Which country controlled Canada before its independence?A. France.B. Britain.C. America.D. Germany.(2) Where can you watch French television programs?A. Only in Quebec.B. In Quebec and a few other places.C. From the two national television networks.D. All over Canada.(3) What does the underlined word “bilingualism” in the fifth paragraph mean?A. 外语教育B. 母语教育C. 双语教育D. 语言教育(4) What do we know about the education in Canada?A. In English-speaking provinces only English courses are offered.B. if you choose a special French language course, most of the subjects will be taught in French.C. The courses in primary schools are all taught in English.D. Most of the courses in junior high schools are taught in English.答案:(1)-(4) BBCB解析:[语篇解读]加拿大是一个双语国家,英语和法语是官方语言,学生如果选择一门专门的法语语言课程,那么大部分学科将用法语进行授课。

2.When it comes to learning a foreign language, many people wonder if they will be able to memorize enough vocabulary. But this question never happens about their mother tongue, and yet, it was a foreign language once. However, among all the questions that new parents ask, no doctor has e ver heard “Will my baby be able to learn my language?” To be honest, do you know all the words of your mother tongue? The answer is “No”.New words, and new ways of using old words, appear every day. Twenty years ago, who would have been able to understand a sentence like this: “Click here to download your digital book”? Nobody. You never stop learning new vocabulary and you never know how long you will need it.Sometimes,you have the word on the tip of your tongue... and it sticks there! But you do know this phenomenon (现象)and think that it isn‟t because of a bad memory. You should not give this phenomenon more importance in the language you are learning than in your mother tongue.You need to learn only 2,000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need. You can‟t avoid some work in order to learn these necessary words and all the more if you want to learn quickly. And before you consider buying into any method, be sure it is right for you. It is not wise to depend on any method based upon mnemonics (记忆术).The first words seem very easy to learn, so you buy the course, but then you discover quickly, though too late,that some words later are more difficult to learn.(1) From the first paragraph, we can infer that ________.A. there is no need to know all the words of a foreign languageB. it is honest to answer “no” to a question you don‟t knowC. a baby can know all the new words of its mother tongueD. people find it hard to memorize the vocabulary of their language(2) The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.A. you can remember the wordB. you just fail to remember the wordC. you are not sure of the wordD. you daren‟t open your mouth to speak the word(3) To learn a foreign language» the author advises you ________.A. to remember new words appearing every dayB. to keep up with new ways of using old wordsC. to learn about 2,000 necessary wordsD. to pay more attention to your bad memory(4) The passage is mainly about ________.A. using old words in a new wayB. learning new words from the contextC. finding a method to memorize the vocabularyD. learning the vocabulary of a foreign language答案:(1)-(4) ABCD解析:(1) 推理判断题。
高一英语(外研版2019)必修一 Unit 2单元话题阅读理解 专项练习
Unit 2单元话题阅读理解专项练习(名校最新真题)(2022·山东·泰安市基础教育教学研究室高一期末)Elements of Latin have made their way into many western countries. Data varies, but as much as 70% of words in English have a Latin or Greek root.By learning more about these roots and how they combine (结合) to create words, you will have an advantage in understanding new words, even if you’ve never seen them before.The great thing is that it’s not hard to learn these roots and recognize the patterns. You’re not learning the whole language with its grammar and difficult points. You just need to memorize some parts of the vocabulary that you often see in English.So how do word roots work?Every word has a root. This part contains the key to a word’s meaning. Take the word “happy”, for example. This word only contains the root, which means full of joy. There’s nothing more to the meaning of the word in this form.Some words, however, have extra parts. We call these affixes (词缀), including prefixes, the part attached before the root, and suffixes, the part attached behind the root. Based on the additional meaning of the prefixes and suffixes, the meaning of the final word will be shaped to mean something new.Take the word “autobiography” for example. The root is “bio”, meaning life. You may have noticed that many words with “bio” have something to do with life or living beings—biology, biography, and so on. When the suffixes “graph”, meaning to write, is added to it, it means a story about someone’s or something’s life. “Auto” means by oneself. Altogether, an “autobiography” is a story about a person’s life, written by the person himself or herself.In a word, a better grasp of word roots can make you understand the English language better, and will help you with your vocabulary recognition and memory skills.1.What’s needed to understand new words with roots?A.A good understanding of Latin or Greek.B.A full understanding of grammar.C.The ability to recognize different parts of words.D.The ability to speak various Western language.2.What do we know about the roots?A.It can’t form a word by itself.B.It is a necessary part of a word.C.It is more important than affixes.D.It has a relatively simple meaning.3.What is the meaning of “biochemistry”?A.The science that is related to living things.B.A person who does research about chemistry.C.A person who does research about living things.D.The study of chemical reactions occurring in living things.4.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Secret of understanding new words.B.Latin’s way into Western language.C.Amazing power of affixes.D.Tips on language exams.(2022·湖北·华中师大一附中高一开学考试)Burlington School, LondonBurlington School is located in Parsons Green, 15 minutes by underground from the centre of London.

Then, a few years ago, this old word suddenly began bursting with new life, as people started using it in a manner that di sobeyed all grammatical rules: How do you know climate change is real? “Because science.” Why are you sleepy? “Because wine.” Academics became nervously excited, debating whether “because” had evolved into a preposition and if so, which types of nouns would appropriately fit this new construction. But there was little disagreement on the driving force behind the change.The title of Gretchen McCulloch's new book, “Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language”, is in honor of this kind of linguistic change —evolution made possible by the dominance of the web and the never-before-seen explosion of informal writing that has come with it. Her aim is to explain how the internet has shaped language. McCulloch is an internet linguist, and her book about internet language is, fittingly, a mixture drawn from academic and internet cultures. In some measure, Because Internet offers a history of the Web along with an introduction to linguistics and a survey of the most fascinating research from her field, including a study that took advantage of geotags on social media to show how new words spread from place to place. Her work is also a well-researched retort (反驳)to grammarians who think technology is to blame for why kids are engaging in what grammarians bel ieve are lazy, senseless talks. On the contrary, she argues, it’s making us more creative in our writing than ever before.The formal, unemotional writing we were all taught in the classroom simply won't do in places designed forvirtual communications, Mc Culloch explains. And she breaks down the many ways we’ve managed to use keyboards to restore the dynamism of face-to-face interaction. For a start: We tap all caps when we FEEL LIKE SHOUTING. We use the abbreviation lol not just to mean “laughing out loud” but also to get out of awkward situations or to offer empathy. And we lengthen words to show just how much we feeeeeeeeel.8.According to the passage, which of the following examples best reflects how people use the word “because” nowadays when answering the question “why were you late for school this morning?”A.Because the traffic was bad. B.Because of the traffic.C.Because traffic. D.Because I got stuck in a traffic jam.9.The book “Because Internet" informs its readers about________.A.how to keep pace with the evolution of languageB.how to have effective communication onlineC.how to organize meaningful sentences in EnglishD.how to use new words and signals on social media10.Gretchen McCulloch believes the way we talk has changed because________.A.we have developed abbreviations to replace many wordsB.we can no longer show our identity through the language we useC.the explosion of informal writing in virtual communication has evolved the languageD.today's kids are not taught at school how to communicate with others(2022·全国·高一课时练习)Nowadays China plays an increasingly significant role in world politics, economy and culture integration. As one of the most popular languages in the world, English have many differences between Chinese.This is a brief introduction of the differences in Chinese and English Grammar to help those who have some basis in Chinese to learn this language easier.1.English emphasizes on the structure, whiles Chinese focuses on the meaning. In English, several meanings can be expressed clearly with complicated structure in just one sentence. In Chinese, a sentence is usually short with little modifier (修饰语), or it will cause confusion in meaning.2.When expressing the meaning, long sentence is regularly used in English and short sentence is used in Chinese. From point one above, we could conclude that English sentences are usually long and Chinese sentences are usually short. One should “Get the meaning, forget the words” in Chinese learning.3.It has many clauses in English sentences which are often separated in small sentences in Chinese way of expression. In an English sentence, except some modifiers, it has a lot of clauses which makes a sentence muchmore complicated. In Chinese, one meaning is usually expressed in separated sentences connecting with comma.4.In English people use pronouns a lot, but in Chinese people often use noun. In English, people not only use “we”, “you”, “she”, “they”, but also use “that” and “which” to keep a sentence well structured and clearly, an d avoid repeat meaning. Due to short sentence structure, a pronoun is commonly replaced by a noun in Chinese expression.5.The passive voice is often used in English expression; In Chinese, one usually uses the active voice. The passive voice is widely use d in English, especially in some scientific articles. For example, “It is (always) stressed that...” is generally expressed as “People (always) stress that...” in Chinese.11.Who is the passage designed for?A.Foreigners who teach ChineseB.Foreigners who learn ChineseC.Foreigners who live in ChinaD.Foreigners who visit China12.What will happen if a sentence in Chinese is too long?A.The sentence’s meaning can be expressed more clearly.B.There will be mistakes in the sentences.C.The structure of this sentence is wrong.D.The sentence is likely to be confusing.13.The following options are correct EXCEPT________.A.The active voice is often used in Chinese expression.B.Pronouns are used in English frequently.C.Chinese prefers clauses to small sentences.D.English sentences are usually longer than Chinese sentences.14.Which is more in line with English expression habits according to the passage?A.Tea is enjoyed by people worldwide and it is good for health.B.People enjoy drinking tea worldwide and it is good for health.C.Tea is enjoyed by people worldwide and tea is good for health.D.People enjoy drinking tea worldwide and tea is good for health.(2022·广东·惠州市惠阳区泰雅实验学校高一期中)One is not born able to speak a language. One is born able to make a noise. I have heard babies cry in America and in China. I can’t tell any difference. But when I hear someone from America speak English and hear someone speak Chinese, I can tell you there are a lot ofdifferences.I believe a common problem with Chinese students’ learning English is that they were not taught to think in English. They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, then they think in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into English. After a long period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally. You will learn faster if you begin to think in English at the very beginning of your study. Many students ask me: What can I do to improve my spoken English?My reply is: The more English you speak, the better English you will speak. There are many things you can do to improve your spoken English. Of course, the best way is to live where English is spoken as a language of the country.15.The cries of American and Chinese babies are _______.A.different B.the same C.not like each other D.like each other16.The underlined sentence (in Paragraph 2) means that_______.A.some teachers didn’t teach students to think in EnglishB.teachers never gave the students the way of learning EnglishC.st udents didn’t remember the way teachers taught themD.teachers didn’t want their students to think in English17.The underlined word “they” (in Paragraph 2) refers to“_______”.A.Chinese students B.English studentsC.Chinese teachers D.English teachers(2022·福建三明·高一期末)Americans often try to say things as quickly as possible. So, for some expressions, we use the first letters of the words instead of saving each word. Many common expressions or long names are shortened this way.B-Y-O-B is a short way of sa ying, “Bring Your Own Bottle.” The letters BYOB are often found at the bottom of a written invitation to a simple social, event or gathering of friends. For example, let’s say I had a New Year’s Eve party. I might include on the invitation. “Please come to my party and BYOB.” The bottle each person brings is what the person wants to drink at the party or wants to share.However, an invitation to a special event -such as a wedding-would never say BYOB.An invitation to an official or very special event often has other letters written at the bottom. The letters are R-S-V-P. These letters represent the French expression “Repondez S'il V ous Plait.” In English the words mean “Respond If It Pleases You.” Americans use the letters as a short way to say, “Please answer this invitation.”Another expression usually used for business and not parties is A-S-A-P. So, a colleague might say she needssomething done ASAP. It means as soon as possible. She might also need something done by C-O-B.That means she wants to finish it by “Close Of Business” or the end of the work day.Beginning letters are often used to represent the names of universities. A famous one is MIT. That is short for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Another major university is UCLA.Almost no one ever says its real name, the University of California at Los Angeles. That takes way too long!18.Why do Americans like using the first letters of the words?A.They want to save time. B.They think it interesting.C.They like doing things differently. D.They love creating new expressions.19.Which of the following may a couple use in their wedding invitations?A.B-Y-O-B.B.B.R-S-V-P. C.A-S-A-P. D.C-O-B.20.How is the text mainly developed?A.By analyzing causes. B.By listing examples.C.By following time order. D.By making comparisons.21.What is the main purpose of this text?A.To describe the unpopularity of the formal language.B.To explain the usage of some daily expressions.C.To advise people to speak more simple English.D.To introduce one of the Americans’ language habits.(2020·安徽蚌埠·高一期末)Foreign visitors to the UK might be disappointed when they learn that not everyone there speaks like Harry Potter and his friends. Usually, there’s an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what’s known as a Received Pronunciation accent, also called “the Queen’s English”. However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak in their own regional accents.Scouse, Glaswegian and Black Country dialect- from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands -are just three of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between towns or cities just 30 kilometers apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking in a RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.In a study by The University of South Wales, videos of people reading a passage in three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people. The group then rated how intelligent they thought the readers sounded. The lowest-rated accent was Brummie, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered working class. However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in an RP accent. In fact, doing the opposite may even give you strength.Kong Seong- jae, 25, is from Seoul. After studying in the UK, he picked up several regional accents. He’s now famous for his online videos, where he shows off the various accents he’s learned. “British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect words, and they become much friendlier. I think it makes a bit of bond between local people and foreigners to speak in their local accent,” he said.So if you’re working on perfecting your British accent, try to speak like someone from Liverpool, Glasgow or Birmingham. You may not sound like Harry Potter, but you are likely to make more friends.22.What can we learn from paragraph 1?A.Most Brito ns speak the Queen’s English.B.Foreign visitors are disappointed at their own spoken English.C.Non-Brits usually hold that all Britons speak in a RP accent.D.The dialect is less important than the RP accent.23.What do people think of the Brummie accent?A.It is closest to the RP accent. B.It is smart and easy to understand.C.It belongs to the people of the working class. D.It is preferred by foreign visitors to the UK.24.What does the underlined phrase “doing the opposite” in Paragraph 3 refer t o?A.Speaking with the RP accent. B.Speaking with regional accents.C.Speaking with the Brummie accent. D.Speaking like Harry Potter.25.What is the passage mainly about ?A.How much British people value the RP accent.B.A comparison between different British accent.C.Some facts about the RP accent and regional accents in Britain.D.A study about the most intelligent accent in Britain.参考答案:1.C 2.B 3.D 4.A【导语】这是一篇说明文。
Unit 2 Using language 阅读训练1- 高一上学期英语外研版(2019)必修第一册
Unit 2 Exploring English-Period 2 Using language一、阅读理解AWhen I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”I thought this was odd. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “V ACANCIES ” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacaciones”. So they did not go to the house where the sign outside said“V ACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to the house where the sign said “NO V ACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you”.1. My Spanish friends wanted advice about.A. driving their car on English roadsB. going to England by carC. finding places to stay in EnglandD. learning English2. I suggested that they stay at “bed and breakfast” houses because __________.A. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotelsB. it would be convenient for them to have dinnerC. they would be able to practice their EnglishD. there would be no problem in finding accommodation there3. “NO V ACANCIES” in English means __________.A. free roomsB. no free roomsC. not away on holidayD. holidays4. When someone offered me more coffee and I said “Thank you” in French, I __________.A. wanted him/her to take the coffee pot awayB. didn’t really want any more coffeeC. wanted to express my politenessD. really wanted some more coffeeBAt schools across the United States, students often sit down to eat lunches made from processed foods that are high in fat, sodium (钠), and sugar. But kids at Public School (P. S.)216 in Brooklyn have a different dining experience. Principal Donna Neglia reports that her students love eating fresh fruit and vegetables.P. S. 216 participated in the Edible Schoolyard program, a nonprofit program founded by Chef Alice Waters in 1995. I he program that Waters created helps public schools across the country start on-site gardens and place principles of healthy eating into the curriculum (课程). Students grow crops, harvesting the fruit and vegetables for cafeteria meals.Waters expressed her passion for the principles of the farm-to-table movement. She advised schools to connect with the farmers in their area and change their buying practices when they’re planning meals for students.Waters has long been encouraging people to care about where their food comes from. In 1993, she put forward the idea of a White House vegetable garden. It was not until 2009 that Michelle Obama started the garden in the backyard of the White House. She and members of the kitchen staffspent hours tending to the garden, often with help from local school children.“That gave people a sense that she cared about children and cared about where our food comes from,” Waters said, praising the former First Lady’s concern for young people’s health. “We are just building this movement, and it is very exciting.”“Through the Edible Schoolyard program, students also learn about the benefits of healthy eating in the classroom.” Neglia said. “P. S. 216 is teaching kids about careers in the food industry — such as farming and agriculture, nutrition, food safety, and the restaurant business.”Similar classes are taking place around the country. So far, the Edible Schoolyard program has reached more than 1 million students in more than 367 schools. “I'm thinking about the future of the planet,” Waters said. “I'm doing this for our generation.”5. What’s the purpose of the Edible Schoolyard program?A. To reduce students’ stress.B. To let students eat healthy food.C. To improve schools’ environment.D. To expect students to experience farming.6. What can we learn from Paragraph 5?A. The program made Waters famous.B. Running a garden was too difficult for students.C. Waters thought highly of what Michelle Obama did.D. The former First Lady cared more about young people’s mental health.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. Students should eat more vegetablesB. A famous school — P. S. 216C. Processed foods should be advisedD. A chef helps create green schoolyards二、七选五Being a superhero to othersEwan Drum has always liked superheroes. He likes how they help people. At age seven, he told his parents,“I want to dress up like a superhero and help the homeless.” 1 Wearing his red superhero cape (斗篷), Ewan helped pass out 70 packed lunches to hungry people in apark in Detroit, Michigan. That’s how Super Ewan was born.2 People donated (捐赠)money and supplies, and Ewan took them to those in need. When someone donated jugs of water, Ewan and his family drove their car to get even more. They took the water to Flint, Michigan, a city that had unsafe drinking water. Another time, a businessman donated six turkeys.3 “In the end”, he says, “we gave 64 turkey dinners to families all around Detroit.”Ewan has a motto: Everyone can be a superhero to someone. At an event called the Hero Round Table, Ewan says, “It’s not hard to help people. You can keep some socks and food in your car to help people in need. You can help a neighbor garden. 4 ”It’s been several years since Super Ewan started his task. Every month, he still visits the same park to hand out clothes, food, and supplies to people who are hungry or homeless — his Super Friends. 5 “No matter what happens,” Ewan says, “I will always keep helping people.”A. This superhero says he’ll never take off his cape.B. News spread (传播)about Ewan’s act of kindness.C. A few months later, Ewan’s family planned a day of giving.D. Every little thing helps and can make someone feel happy.E. Ewan says he wants more adults to act like superheroes.F. Several days later, his parents drove to Flint and helped him raise a lot of money.G. With his parents’ help, Ewan asked for more turkeys through the Internet, plus side dishes.参考答案一、阅读理解A语篇解读本文讲述了由于语言的差异而导致误解的故事。

Unit 2 Travelling Around 拓展阅读专项训练(一)刷阅读理解体裁:说明文题材:介绍说明词数:322 难度:中建议用时:8分钟[湖北天门2020高一月考]It’s a warm summer afternoon. You’re cooking up the catch of the day over a campfire. Suddenly, a few raindrops fall on your arms and before you know it, the sky opens up. Then you hear what sounds like thunder in the distance. What should you do? Your tent is close by and would offer shelter(庇护)from the pouring rain. There’s a campsite picnic shelter a few minutes down the path. And then you remember that your car is parked down the road. What’s your safest choice to make sure you and your family are safe?It’s a common question for many hikers and campers, especially when they’re camping during summer months. Heading to your car is almost always the safest choice. On the one hand your tent and a picnic shelter will keep you dry, but they offer little or no protection against lightning. Your car, on the other hand, will keep you dry and protect you from lightning strikes. Protecting yourself against possible lightning strikes is very important; lightning kills an average of 62 people in the US each year. If you keep all of the windows and doors closed in your car, you’ll be able to return to your campsite safely.Of course, if you’re backpacking(背包旅行), not car camping, and you’re deep in the woods, your car won’t be a good choice. So, what should you do if your car is far away and there’s no other sate shelter nearby? First, you’ll have to make sure that tree branches or other objects don’t fall on you or your campsite. Then you’ll have to get in a safe position to avoid lightning, or flash flood conditions. What else should you do?1. To avoid lightning in a storm, what are you supposed to do?A. Go into your tent quickly.B. Cook up the catch of the day over a campfire.C. Run into a campsite picnic shelter at once.D. Get into your car and return to your campsite later.2. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Young people like backpacking best.B. Lightning is dangerous for campers.C. Car camping is a good choice for deep woods.D. Camping during summer is the most popular.3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. It is important to learn to protect yourself when camping.B. Backpacking is not a good choice for campers.C. People should never camp deep in the woods.D. People should not go camping alone.4. What is the passage mainly about?A. What’s camping.B. How to live through a storm when camping.C. How to travel safely.D. Car camping is the safest.刷7选5体裁:说明文题材:日常生活词数:260 难度:中建议用时:8分钟Where would you most like to go on vacation? Paris? London?

人教版(2019)高中英语必修第一册Unit2单元测试(2)一、阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)(共3题;共20分)1.(6分)阅读理解When your dream is to become a footballer,nothing should get in your way—even if you have no feet.Gabriel Muniz,an11–year-old Brazil kid,was born without feet.Although his family thought he would have serious difficulties living a normal life,he started walking before he was one year old.His mother would go after him,expecting him to keep falling,but he never fell.It took him a while to make the jump from walking to playing football,but he did make it.And,in fact,there's nothing he loves more than playing football.In his school,the skillful youngster(年轻人)is not only the best player in his school team but also the captain of his gym team.He knows that his disability means he'll never be able to play for a professional(专业的)football team.So Gabriel is hoping that football will one day become a Paralympics(残疾人奥运会)sport.He proved to everyone there he could go head to head with any other boy.Watching him play is unbelievable. He's fast and he's got a big bag of tricks–he's very skilled and he does everything he can to copy his hero, Messi so much that he was invited to go to Spain to meet his hero Messi and show his talent in the Barcelona Football Club.His coach says he is proving the disability only exists(存在)inside our heads and he is challenging the social rules.(1)(2分)What's right with Gabriel Muniz?A.He can't see and hear anything.B.He always gives trouble to his family.C.He was born without feet.D.He often argues with his partners.(2)(2分)According to the passage we can know that Gabriel Muniz________.A.thinks others laugh at him B.is a professional football player C.prefers playing for a club D.is a skillful football player(3)(2分)Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?A.The boy's family was surprised he could walk well.B.The boy wants to play football in the Paralympics.C.The boy has too much difficulty living a normal life.D.His coach has noticed the boy's hard job and talent.2.(6分)阅读理解A new report says living in a city makes it harder for people to concentrate(集中)on some tasks. The research found that people who live in rural areas can focus better than people in urban areas.The study is from Goldsmiths College,which is part of the University of London.Head researcher Dr Karina Linnell and her team made great contributions.They studied how two groups of people did the same "thinking tasks".The team went to a remote(偏远的)part of Namibia,southwest Africa,to study the Himba tribe.Himba people live a very basic life in the desert.They are still doing traditional farming.The team also studied members of the same tribe who had moved to the nearest town.Dr Linnell said the tribe who lived in the desert did much better on the tests than those in the town.It's really interesting and shocking.Dr Linnell said their research may lead to changes in the way companies operate.In the future, workers may move from cities to live and work in the countryside.Linnell said there are too many things around us in the city that stop us from thinking about one thing for a long time.This means we do not work at our best.She asked,"What if,for example,companies realized certain tasks would be better carried out by employees based outside of the urban environment?There their concentration ability is better."The past century has seen billions of people move from the countryside to big cities.In the future,the trend may not continue.If Dr Linnell's research is true,this century might see many of those people return to the great outdoors.Let's wait to see what will happen.(1)(2分)What did Dr Linnell and her team conclude from the study on the Himba tribe? A.Himba people are cleverer than others.B.Himba people aren't used to the life in city.C.Himba people focus better in the desert.D.Himba people give up traditional farming.(2)(2分)The underlined word"outdoors"in the last paragraph probably refers to"________". A.villages B.cities C.towns D.countries(3)(2分)What is the main purpose of the text?A.To remind people to focus better.B.To advise people to live in countryside.C.To share a recent study with readers.D.To show the bright future to readers.3.(8分)阅读理解When I was in primary school,I had an argument with a boy in my class.I thought that"I"was right and that"he"was wrong.But he thought"I"was wrong and"he"was right.The teacher asked him to stand on one side of her desk and me on the other.In the middle of her desk was a large and round ball.I could see it was black.She asked what color the ball was."White,"he answered.I couldn't believe the boy's answer,because from my side it was obviously black!The teacher told me to stand in the boy's place and told him to stand in my place.We changed our places,and then the teacher asked me what color the ball was.I had to answer,"White."It was a ball with two different colors.From his side it was white.Only from my side it was black.My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day:You must stand in other people's shoes and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their view.(1)(2分)The writer was________when the story happened.A.a primary school student B.a middle school studentC.a primary school teacher D.a middle school teacher(2)(2分)The Chinese meaning of the word"obviously"in this passage is probably"________".

growing fruit and vegetables for export.This uses a lot of water.Therefore,there could be serious shortages of water.Some scientists predict that water could be the cause of wars if we don’t act now.In the future,cars will run on new,clean fuels(燃料) and they will go very fast.Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents.Today,many cars have computers thattell

thatdirecting herself in a 3D space didn’t require both ey es.This surprised her so much that she did some research.And she learned the brain can process 3D information with poor vision (视力) or even without any vision.Then the idea for Mind Beacon was born.It uses a thin line of light to gather 3D information about the placement of walls,furniture and other things.Then the light sends that information back to Mind Beacon,which then raises little pins (大头针) to show where those obstacles (障碍物) are.Then blind people can “read” the position of those pins to understand the positions of structures and objects ahead and walk around them.When the invention worked for the first time,Seoyoung didn’t believe it.She’d been up all night working on it.To be sure there wasn’t a mistake,she shut it off and started it up.It had be en seven long months of research and testing.Now this tool can help disabled people create a mental image of their surroundings.The heart of Mind Beacon is a 3D depth sensor that’s connected to a computer.That computer can control motors that are lined up in three rows of three.Each motor controls a pin that can move upand down.When the sensor finds an obstacle,the pin rises.It can rise to three different heights.Each height roughly represents the height of the obstacle.Someone who runs their hand over the nine pins can tell where the obstacle is and its general height.Mind Beacon won Seoyoung a place at the world’s high school research competition.Right now,she wants to ameliorate it.She imagines in the future it can be connected to a smartphone,with more little pins to show the exact height of the obstacle.It would feel like a little map showing the location and size of the obstacle ahead.5.What inspired Seoyoung to invent Mind Beacon?A.The desire to win a competition.B.The blind’s good sense of touch.C.Her wish to bring convenience to the disabled.D.Her ability to locate an object without full vision.6.How does Mind Beacon help the blind?A.By informing them of the obstacles in advance.B.By teaching them to describe dangerous objects.C.By making them have easy access to the Internet.D.By training them to remember maps of their living areas.7.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A.The limitations of Mind Beacon pins.B.The working process of Mind Beacon.C.The role of computers in Mind Beacon.D.The effect of Mind Beacon on the blind.8.What does the underlined word “ameliorate” probably mean?A.Keep.B.SpreadC.Improve.D.Control.C(广东佛山顺德高二上期中)In my everyday life,I am on an ongoing journey to figure out different ways to reduce my carbon footprint on the planet.A carbon footprint is the measure of influence our activities have on the environment,in particular climate change.It is calculated by the amount of greenhouse gas we produce in our dailylives.Fortunately,nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendlylifestyle choices than,let’s say,20 years ago.But one question has been on my mind a lot lately:is it better to buy new eco-friendly products or used traditionally produced goods?After doing some research,I have decided that some things are better new and others are better used.Let me try to eade up of two parts,the primary footprint and the secondary footprint.The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions(排放) of carbon dio the burning of fuels,including household energy consumption and transportation.The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use—those related to their production and breakdown.Based on this understanding,we have a good deal of control and responsibility over our carbon footprint.Things likedishes,clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group,so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production.However,for the car and the other appliances(设备)that we need we can go with new,energy-saving models.I heard somewhere that electronics and appliances give off90% of their carbon footprint after they leave the factory.So it seems most reasonable to go for the energy-saving models.The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you.9.What is the text mainly about?A.What appliances to buy to save energy.B.What a carbon footprint means in our life.C.How to identify different carbon footprints.D.How to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices.10.What do we know about the secondary carbon footprint?A.It is related to our consumption of fuels.B.It is made when we are buying the products.C.It is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint.D.It is counted as ours though not directly made by us.11.Which of the following helps reduce our carbon footprint according to the author?ing second-hand textbooks.ing old and expensive cars.C.Buying new but cheap clothes.D.Buying new wooden furniture.12.“The footprint” underlined in the last sentence refers to the CO2 produced in .ing the productB.recycling the productC.making the productD.transporting the productⅡ.七选五(广东深圳宝安中学高二上期中)There were times when I thought success was about creating great work;times when I believed success was about making more money;and times when I thought success was about living in the present. 1 but almost every single one of them is incomplete.Now,I usually describe success as combination of achievements and happiness.For me,success is about having fun and joy along the journey of creatingthe results you desire.Many habits help one achieve success.2 .Practicingself-awarenessPracticing self-awareness uses your ability to make the right choices for yourself.The best way to learn about yourself is to keep asking yourself difficult questions and answering them. 3 .Do this every day,write them down,and think carefully about them regularly.Choosingthechild-likeattitude4 ,and that’s very true.First,kids don’t over-think and always see the world as it is.We can act faster and live happier if we stop over-thinking.Second,kids don’t stop playing.What do kids do when they fall down?They get back up quickly and start playing again.And that’s eany of us need to achieve in order to get what we want in life.Findingjoyinhardwork,challengesandsetbacksLife never goes as smoothly as we want it to. 5 .If you’re a businessman,don’t wait for cus tomers to come knocking at yourdoor.Go out,share your product,and get customers for your business.Accept that success is not easy.Then,be the other group—the group who finds joy in challenges and setbacks(挫折),the group who loves the things they do,and the group who puts in the hard work and gets devoted to the process.A.The questions require you to think deeplyB.None of the above sayings of success are wrongC.Don’t wish for more challenges,wish for more joyD.These are what help us hold on and bring us pure joyE.Hoping life gets easier,you will find it easy to be successfulF.Instead of hoping that life gets easier,hope that you will get

Unit 2 Travelling Around 拓展阅读专项训练(二)刷阅读理解体裁:记叙文题材:社会热点词数:323 难度:中建议用时:7分钟A while back I caught a news report on something called “couch surfing” and the network who make this phenomenon possible. They offer to put up travellers free of charge and help them on their ways. At first, it sounded unbelievable. I mean, inviting strangers into one’s home for one or two nights? Give me a break.However, I was intrigued. I decided to investigate. The only way to truly learn about this phenomenon was to dive in. So I planned a trip to Finland, a country I’ve always wanted to explore. I would couch surf at every stop there.If ever any anxiety existed when stepping into the unknown, it disappeared when my first host met me at the train station. Ari looked like my idea of a typical Finn: tall and blue-eyed. Finns were also supposed to be famously reserved(寡言的). Ari was anything but. He was a live wire, giving me an enthusiastic welcome and hiking with me to his apartment, where he showed me the sleeper sofa, served me tea, and engaged me in lively conversation. He also handed me a key to come and go as I pleased.If this was what couch surfing was all about—trust and friendship—then I had got off to a good start. As I boarded my next train to continue my journey, I began to think about this couch-surfing idea. What urged these people to open their homes to strangers?I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to like-minded folks who might enrich their own lives.Seven cities in 14 days. Seven hosts. Seven new friends. If couch surfing taught me anything, it’s this: Most people are good and generous. Where will couch surfing take me next? Who knows? But I can’t wait to find out.1. Which of the following best explains “intrigued” underlined in the second paragraph?A. Relaxed.B. Disgusted.C. Interested.D. Embarrassed.2. What can we know about Ari?A. He was reserved like most Finns.B. He talked less but he was friendly.C. He treated the author as a friend.D. He saw off the author at the train station.3. Why did people offer couch surfing to strangers?A. To take an adventure with strangers.B. To exchange houses for a short time.C. To learn more about others’ family lives.D. To enrich their own lives by helping others.4. What can be the suitable title for the text?A. Travel on Trust and CouchesB. A Free travel in FinlandC. Experiences in Strangers’ HousesD. A Plan for Couch Surfing刷完形填空体裁:议论文题材:社会生活词数:286 难度:中建议用时:13分钟Many people enjoy taking trips by themselves. Unluckily, they do not always have the best 1 . Instead, people should consider group tours. Taking a group tour is a wise choice for people to 2 themselves.First, group tours plan travellers’ routes, so people don’t have to 3 where they are going next or how they are getting there. They can just 4 and enjoy their trip. For example, my family once took a group tour to China. The travel agency 5 everything for us. We just looked at the schedule the travel agency had 6 and followed it. Thanks to the travel agency, we had a pleasant trip. This made things 7 for my father since he didn’t have to worry about where we would go next and stay at night.Another 8 of group tours is that they allow people to communicate with one another while travelling. Travellers are able to develop 9 with people they would never have met 10 they are travelling together for a number of days. As I know, my parents 11 Russia on a group tour for their honeymoon. They met another couple on that trip, and everyone had a great time together. Even after many years, they still12 together from time to time. If my parent had travelled by themselves, it would have been 13 for them to get to know this couple.In short there is 14 better than a group tour when travelling. Group tours schedule everything on the trip, and they give us the chance to meet others and make friends with them. Group tours are the 15 way to travel when taking a trip.1.

译林版必修第一册Unit2 阅读拓展练习1Ⅰ.阅读理解AWhen I was a little girl,I remember that when my dad was repairing something,he would ask me to hold the hammer,so we would have time for a conversation with each other.I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out.All he did after work was taking care of his family.I grew up and left home for college and since then,my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning.And when I bought a house several years later,my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat.All he asked was to talk to him,but I was too busy in those days.Four years ago,my dad visited me.He spent many hours putting together a swing for my daughter.He asked me to have a talk with him,but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual.I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately.I was in a hurry,so our conversation was short.Several hours later that day I received a call.My father was in hospital.Immediately I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the occasions I missed to have a talk with my dad.By the time I arrived at the hospital,my father had passed away.Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me.I realized how little I knew about my dad,his deepest thoughts and his dreams.After his death I learned much more about him and even more about myself.All he ever wanted was my time.And now he has all my attention every single day.1.When the author was a little girl,she .A.liked playing on the swingB.often talked with her fatherC.was good at repairing thingsD.learned to take care of her family2.When at college,the author .A.received a call from her father every Sunday morningB.phoned her father every Sunday morningC.asked her father to call her every SundayD.asked her father to talk with her3.Why did the author fail to have a talk with her father four years ago?A.She had got tired of talking with him.B.She was busy painting her house.C.Her daughter asked her to play.D.She was busy planning a trip.4.When did the author begin to regret missing the talks with her father?A.After her father’s sudden death.B.Many years after her father’s death.C.On her way to the hospital to see her father.D.As soon as she got the news that her father was ill.答案BADCBRobby was 11 when his mother dropped him off for his first piano lesson.I prefer students who begin at an earlier age.Robby insisted that it had always been his mother’s dream to hear him play the piano,so I took him in as a student.Robby tried and tried while I listened and encouraged him and gave him more instructions.But he just did not have any inborn ability.I only saw his mother from a distance.She always waved and smiled but never came in.Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons.I thought about calling him but I guessed he had decided to try something else.I was also glad that he stopped coming for the sake of my career.However,several weeks before the recital(演奏会) of my students,Robby came,telling me that he never stopped practicing and begged me to allow him to take part.I agreed but I made him perform last in the program,so I could always save his poor performance through my “curtain closer”.I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen one piece of Mozart’s.Never had I heard a piece of Mozart’s played so well by someone at his age.When he finished,everyone was cheering.I ran up and put my arms around Robby in joy.“I’ve never heard you play like that,Robby!How’d you do it?”“Well,Miss Hondorf.Do you remember I told you my mom was sick? Actually she died this morning.She was born deaf so tonight was the first time she could hear me play.I wanted to make it special.I knew I could.” That night,Robby was the teacher and I was the student.He taught me so many important things about life.5.Why did Robby stop coming to the piano lessons suddenly?A.He lost heart and believed that he would never make it.B.His mother was too sick to send him to the piano lessons.C.He thought his teacher disliked him.D.His mother died and he didn’t need to play any longer.6.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A.The writer thought playing the piano shouldn’t start too late.B.The writer thought that Robby had given up the piano lesson.C.The writer taught Robby carefully although he hadn’t a gift for music.D.No one else could play the piece of Mozart’s well.7.From the underlined sentence we can infer that .A.the writer looked down upon Robby and disliked himB.the writer thought Robby a bad advertisement for his teachingC.with Robby present,the other children couldn’t play wellD.the writer couldn’t teach so many students at a time8.What did the writer learn from Robby?A.The meaning of true love.B.The meaning of giving up necessarily.C.The meaning of being kind to teachers.D.The meaning of believing in teachers.答案BDBACA teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure.To some teenagers independence means a lot to them,and I think that some parents don’t allow their teenagers enough independence.Independence has something to do with freedom.Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone,and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school,coming home,going to sleep,and repeating the process the next day.Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world.But if parents control their kids too much,they may never learn to live on their own.The best way for a teenager to learn lessons is through experience.I think it is beneficial for teenagers to have freedom.Teenagers’ lack of freedom can also stop them from having good friendship at school.Some might say that this is a good thing,because it helps them focus more on their school work.I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their school work.Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school,thinking that this will get them into trouble.But I don’t think so.Instead,isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a cellphone?Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents,and communicate better with their friends.Privacy is another issue between parents and their teenagers.Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room.This also gives them a sense of independence.It oftenannoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not at home.I know that my mom always goes in my room when I’m not at home,and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door.9.What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A.Kids know how to live independently.B.Some parents allow their kids no freedom.C.It benefits teenagers to have freedom.D.Kids have a dull routine every day.10.How do teenagers usually feel when their parents enter their rooms in their absence? A.Disappointed. B.Lucky.C.Angry. D.Calm.11.The author hopes to have her door locked in order to .A.keep her father from reading her diaryB.prevent her mother entering her roomC.protect herself from any harmD.stop thieves from going in答案CCB七选五When your children become teenagers,it’s time to start considering an afterschool job.1 ,so why shouldn’t our children? When your child has a job,he/s her job correctly.An afterschool job is a good way to teach your teenager about responsibility.By allowing your teenagers to have an afterschool job you allow them to learn about money management. 2 ,they will have to manage how much money they can spend.They will realize that they can’t spend every dollar they make if they want to reach their goal.You are probably saying,“Teens will get into trouble whether they have a job or not.”3 .Depending on the distance from work to home,you could allow your children some extra time to get home after work.This will ensure that they don’t feel rushed but can still get home on time.It’s a good idea to show your teenagers that hard work is what it takes to finish everything in their lives. 4 .What will they expect when they are out on their own if they have never had to work hard for what they want?5 .All teenagers,no matter what their parents’financial situation is,should have a job.They will need the experience before they do get out in the real world.A.If they are saving up for their first carB.When they refuse to have an afterschool jobC.It is a good idea for all teenagers to have an afterschool jobD.Most of adults in the U.S.had a job during their teenage yearsE.They can’t learn the meaning of hard work if everything is handed to themF.Having an afterschool job will help your teenagers know their directionG.But it is less likely that your children will get into trouble if they are working five evenings a week1.D2.A3.G4.E5.C。
