必修2 Module 1 Our Body and Healthy HabitsⅠ.话题延读Fighting “Big Soda”Sugar is not good for our health.But you may reason that a single can of Coke every day won’t do you much harm.After all,with exercise,you can burn off the calories from that can of Coke anyway.If this is your way of thinking,then congratulations!You are Big Soda’s ideal consumer.The term “Big Soda”refers to two soft drink companies:Coca-Cola and Pepsi.American soda consumption has experienced a sustained decline.In China,however,it’s a different story.According to a Xinhua News Agency report,Coca-Cola’s soda sales went up by 10 percent in the second quarter this year compared to the same time last year.Increases in soda consumption can be worrisome to health experts.In her recent book Soda Politics: Taking on Big Soda(and Winning),New York University nutrition professor Marion Nestle makes a fiery case against the soda industry.She says it’s all right if you drink sweet drinks occasionally.But drinking it every dayis “plainly unhealthy”.According to The Economist,one large study cited in Nestle’s book found that “for each(12-ounce) can added to a person’s daily diet,the risk of diabetes jumpedby 22 percent.There are also links between sugar and heart disease,obesity,strokeand cancer.” Unlike fruits or even a Big Mac,sweet drinks have no nutritional value.A12-ounce (340-gram) can of Coke,for example,has 140 calories and 39 grams of sugarbut no protein or fiber.Nestle also points out that drinking a lot of soda has a broader cost.Chronic diseases caused by unhealthy diets can create a burden for a country’s healthcare system.Increased health awareness has turned a lot of US consumers against soda.On a political level,lawmakers are also waging a war against Big Soda.Thirty-three USstates are taxing soda or sugar-sweetened drinks,while some are considering introducing warning labels for soda ads and soda products.1.From the passage,we know Big Soda contains a large quantity of .A.proteinB.fiberC.nutritionD.calories2.According to the passage,drinking soda every day is .A.relatively healthyB.absolutely unhealthyC.instantly deadlyD.hardly harmful3.One proper measure taken to fight against “Big Soda” is .A.increasing political awarenessB.making related lawsC.taxing less on sodaD.attaching encouraging labels4.Which of the statements is TRUE?A.Having a can of Coke every day will be healthy.B.A 34-ounce can of Coke has 140 calories and 39g of sugar.C.Big Soda will increase the risk of getting some chronic diseases.D.Chinese soda consumption has experienced a sustained decline.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。
2020高考外研版英语-限时规范练34(选修6 Module 4)
限时规范练34(选修6Module4)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与自我、积极人生的素养能力意识一、阅读理解AA baby may fall back asleep at 2 am to a gentle song,but new music designed to help adults relax sounds rather different from Rock-a-bye Baby.Boston-based start-up Sync Project uses biometrics (生物统计学) to play music that fits your mood.Its Unwind app measures your heart beat via your smartphone and uses these readings to play different songs by UK band Marconi Union.After listening,you take a brief survey on how relaxed you feel.“Music can be used for everyday wellness as well as for clinical applications,” says Sync Project co-founder Ketki Karanam.The state of sleep and relaxation was an obvious place to start.“We decided to start by focusing on relaxation as we felt that was one area where people were using music to calm themselves down or relax,” she says.As well as the Unwind app,the company plans to collect biometric data from attendees at an overnight performance of composer Max Richter’s 8-hour album Sleep,designed to help people nod off,in London next month.Concertgoers will be invited to wear activity-tracking OURA rings,which also measure heart rate and body temperature.In addition,the volunteers will wear the rings while going to sleep at home,with and without the help of Richter’s music.By analyzing these readings,the Sync Project team finally aims to develop its own artificial intelligence-based tools that will use music to improve general well-being and even treat clinical conditions.“Music has certain obvious ways it can excite or relax us,but there are limits and it certainly can’t replace real treatments,” says David Eagleman at Stanford University in California,who was an adviser to Richter on the Sleep album.Music can help with insomnia (失眠症) or pain relief,says Kevin Morgan,director of the Clinical Sleep Research Unit at Loughborough University,UK.“That said,if the presenting insomnia is so ‘mild’it can be effectively managed with Spotify (which gives you access to millions of songs),it’s unlikely to have been a major clinical problem in the first place,” he says.1.What can users benefit from the Unwind app?A.Have a health check.B.Prevent heart attack.C.Fall asleep quickly.D.Become calm.2.What does the Sync Project team want to find by analyzing the biometric data?A.How babies fall back to sleep quickly.B.How music might affect sleep and relaxation.C.How body temperature changes during the night.D.How music tools help people appreciate music.3.What’s David Eagleman’s attitude towards music treating clinical conditions?A.Curious.B.Doubtful.C.Favorable.D.Disappointed.4.Which of the following does Kevin Morgan probably agree with?A.Music only works on mild insomnia.B.Insomnia isn’t a clinical condition at all.C.Music can’t be used for clinical applications.d insomnia cured by music doesn’t require medical help.BScott and Daniel Harry are enjoying everyday tasks like shopping and washing for the first time following their move to an accommodation support house in Kurwongbah,north of Brisbane last year.Disability Services Queensland’s Strengthening Non-Government Organisations project provided an accommodation support model that would enable residents like Daniel and Scott to live more independently.The house is just one of many accommodation support services funded through the project.The five-bedroom house provides 24-hour care for up to four individuals with complex needs,including medical support.Care and staffing levels are varied and flexible,depending on each resident’s requirements.Scott and Daniel,who have a severe form of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy,require 24-hour support in all activities of daily living.Before they moved to the house,they lived with their family.Scott says living at home was difficult as it placed a physical and emotional strain (负担) on their parents who had to wake them several times each night to reposition them or place them on breathing machines.“We were heavy-hearted,” says Scott,who is planning to write a book about his life experiences.“But our parents now have a lot more time for themselves.We now manage ourselves on a day-to-day basis.”Daniel is an enthusiastic gardener,taking care of his own vegetable garden.The men share the house with one other young man,and they go to rugby league games,meeting up with friends.Leeding Care Australia provides the care service at Kurwongbah.Manager Lee Garniss says setting up the facilities has not been without its challenges.“It is an unconventional model of care,” Lee says.“The home is Scott and Daniel’s home,however,it is also a workplace for their support staff.Balancing these two requirements has been a challenge for all.”“We have experienced a bit of a learning phase over the last twelve months.However,by working as a team we try our best to meet the needs of both residents and staff and I think we have achieved the right balance.”5.What do we know about the house Scott and Daniel live in now?A.It was built by their parents.B.It can accommodate four residents.C.It belongs to a governmental project.D.It’s located in the center of Brisbane.6.Why did Scott and Daniel’s parents wake up frequently at night?A.To help them do exercise.B.They were making a lot of noise.C.To check on their breathing.D.They were under emotional pressure.7.How did Scott feel while living with his parents?A.A bit guilty.B.Quite happy.C.Very proud.D.Slightly angry.8.What was a challenge while setting up the facilities?ck of fund.B.No workplace.C.Inexperienced staff members.D.Satisfying both staff and residents’ needs.二、完形填空My Mom grew up in a traditional Chinese family in which open expressions of love were never1.When she had me and my three siblings,she

【志鸿优化设计】2016届高考英语一轮复习 Module4 Music考点规范练34（含解析）外研版选修6Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe findings build on earlier work that suggests musical training before the age of seven can have a significant impact on the brain’s development.Music lessons in early childhood lead to changes in the brain that could improve its performance far into adulthood,researchers say.Brain scans of young adults showed that those who had formal musical training before the age of seven had thicker brain regions that deal with hearing and self-awareness.The findings highlight how brain development can be influenced by the age that children start to learn a musical instrument,and how those changes can persist into later life.“Early musical training does more good for kids than just making it easier for them to enjoy music.It changes the brain and these brain changes could lead to cognitive(认知的) advances as well,”said Yunxin Wang of Beijing NormalUniversity.She tried to find out whether musical training early on in life had any lasting effect on the structure of the brain.She hoped the results might help parents decide when was the best for their children to learn an instrument.After taking gender and the number of years spent having music lessons into account,Wang found that musical training that started before the age of seven appeared to thicken areas of the brain involved in language skills and executive(执行的) function,which is a person’s ability to plan and carry out tasks.She presented the results at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in San Diego.“We’re not sure why these changes arise,but a reasonable explanation is that early starters might rely more on auditory(听觉的)clues during learning music,since it might be more difficult for younger children to read music,”Wang said.Earlier this year,researchers at Concordia University in Montreal showed that people who took music lessons before seven years old had stronger connections between motor regions of the brain,which are involved in making movements,and the sensory areas.1.What is the result of formal musical training in early childhood?A.Affecting the brain’s development favorably.B.Making the brain develop normally.C.Bringing unlimited physical and mental pleasure.D.Causing the brain to grow thicker and heavier.2.In Wang’s opinion,what is the most important in musica l training?A.Preventing the disadvantages of musical training.B.Developing a child’s language ability and skills.C.The best time to have formal musical training.D.The ways in which a child receives musical training.3.We can know from the passage that .A.music can’t contribute to developing one’s abilityB.parents should rest their hopes on musical trainingC.music lessons should be every child’s choiceD.the cause of the changes has not been determined4.What is the passage mainly about?A.It is not yet decided whether music is good for intelligence.B.Music lessons in early childhood may improve brain’s performance.C.A scientific experiment has been finished in Beijing Normal University.D.The earlier you take children to musical training,the bri ghter they’ll be.BA tone-deaf(不会辨别音调的)teenager who suffered a concussion(脑震荡) has astonished his family by suddenly being able to play music chlan Connors,a high school junior from Denver,Colorado,now plays 13 instruments,eventhough he has never learned to read music.But he didn’t always have such a talent.As a younger student he loved sport,dreamed of a career playing lacrosse(长曲棍球) andhad no passion for music.“He really had no talent,”his mother told CBS.“I would say,‘Can’t you hear what’s next?’with something like ‘Twinkle,Twinkle Little Star’ and he’d say‘No’.When he was in the sixth grade,he was playing lacrosse when he fell backwards and knocked the back of his head against the ground,suffering a concussion.”“I remember getting up and feeling dazed,”he told CBS.“I didn’t realize something bad had happened.”The doctors told him he could return to the field,but he went on to suffer another couple of hard hits to the head,which sent him tohospital.As his condition worsened,doctors told him he should not play contact sports any more,but there was one strange good side effect:his newly-found musical talent.He can now play 13 instruments,including piano,guitar,mandolin,harmonica andbagpipes.“Music is the thing that gets me up every morning,”he said.Hisdoc tor,Spyridon Papadopoulos,said that the concussions switched on part of Lachlan’s brain that had previously been dormant.The condition of suddenly developing a talent—musical,artistic or mathematical—is believed to occur when the right brain compensates for an injury on the left brain.5.What can we know about Lachlan Connors?A.He was born deaf but able to speak after an accident.B.He was not interested in music before the sixth grade.C.He has been dreaming of becoming a musician.D.He has never had a music lesson in his life.6.After the first hit to the head,the doctors advised Lachlan .A.to go on playing lacrosseB.to have a rest at homeC.to give up contact sportsD.to be sent to hospital7.The underlined word “dormant” can best be replaced by “”.A.immatureB.incompleteC.weakD.inactiveⅡ.七选五1 People traveled in search of food and shelter or in order to flee from their enemies.Sometimes they were looking for gold or silver in order to become rich.Onother occasions they were searching for rich farmland.This is not to say that no one ever traveled just for fun.Even in ancienttimes,some pleasure travel occurred.During a typical season,700,000 tourists would crowd into the ancient city of Rome,where animals performed and magicians entertained them. 23 International tourist arrivals alone reached as many as 546 million in 1994,937 million in 2010,according to the World Trade Organization.4 Probably the most common reason for traveling is related to our physicalwell-being.Actually,traveling to sports events is one of the fastest growing types of travel.In our fast developing society where stress has become part of people’slife,people can rest and relax by having a change of environment and activities.5 No one seems to doubt that travel broadens the mind.In 18thcentury,Europe,young men would go on a Grand Tour to various countries in order to complete their education.Today the desire to travel to different countries is encouraged by modern mass media.People who travel to other countries can at the same time learn more about their own country and culture.A.But why do people like traveling so much?B.Throughout history,most travel was not for pleasure.C.So they travel to a lake for a swim or a park for a bike.D.The improvement in transportation has also encouraged people to travel.E.Wealthy Romans made trips to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games.F.The growth of tourism has become a modern phenomenon experienced by all countriesin the world.G.Another important reason for traveling is to satisfy our curiosity about different places and cultures.Ⅲ.语法填空Today,I went in the melting snow to visit my 82-year-old friend.She needed help with her computer,so I went in for a computer

课时提能练(三)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·日照检测)When I was a child growing up in Ohio，the butterflies would sometimes pass through on their way to Mexico.And it was awesome to see football fields full of them—and I wanted to revisit that on a larger scale.I knew I had to go to see the migration(迁徙) in Mexico.But I was on a budget.I didn't want to rent a car in Mexico or take a bus to Valle de Bravo，the starting point for most butterfly adventures，so I called the guys at The Muddy Boot，travel experts in Mexico who can make almost anything happen at a reasonable rate.And so，on January 2，I found myself in The Muddy Boot van(面包车)，being driven for two hours from Mexico City to Valle de Bravo，a lovely town on a volcanic lake which is a central point for the butterfly journeys.I booked a twonight stay at the Hotel Rodavento，an all ecofriendly hotel with individual wooden houses spreading throughout the forest and around a lake.The first sanctuary(保护区) I visited was Piedra Herrada, a popular destination，as it is only 40 minutes away from Valle de Bravo.The climb up is tiring.It is advisable to hire a horse.But the horse cannot take you all the way，and there is some hiking in thin air，so you must be patient，drink a lot of water，and be in reasonably good shape.The walk is more than worth it though.As I struggled to catch my breath，I looked up and lost my breath again.At first glance，the trees had turned into different shapes，but on closer inspection，every inch of them was covered with butterflies.A few flew through the air(Most of them were not warm enough)．As the sun rose，they began to come alive.Soon the air was filled with flying butterflies，transforming the forest into something magical and straight out of a fairy tale.【语篇解读】本文是一篇日志形式的记叙文，作者讲述了自己为参观大规模的蝴蝶迁徙的美景而搭车前往墨西哥的一个城镇的故事。

Recently，I had to change my thinking，when I came face to face with just such a human being in a coffee place，with my two daughters.The place was crowded as usual and we had to climb steep(陡的） stairs in order to find an empty table.After enjoying coffee and snacks，we went down the narrow stairs，where there was hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.Just as I was in the middle of the stairs，a man entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase（楼梯）．I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man going up.I kept coming down as fast as I could。
My daughters were already down，looking up at me worriedly，hoping I would reach them before the stranger started walking up the stairs,knowing I was a nervous sort。

课时提能练(十三)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·长春质检)Can exercise during childhood protect you against memory loss many decades later？Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain，in rats at least.“This is an animal study，but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important—not just for physical development，but for the whole lifelong track of cognitive(认知的) development during aging，”says Martin Wojtowicz of the University of Toronto，Canada.“In humans，it may delay the appearance of Alzheimer's disease(阿尔茨海默病)，possibly to the point of preventing it.”Wojtowicz's team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups，and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks.Around four months later—when the rats had reached middle age—the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box.When placed in the box，they froze with fear.Two weeks later，the team tested the rats in three situations：exactly the same box in the same room，the same box with the room arranged differently，and a completely different box in a different room.The rats without access to a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage of times in each of these situations，suggesting they couldn't remember which one was dangerous.But those that had been able to run in their youth froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings.“The results suggest the amount of physical activity when we're young，at least for rats，has influence on the brain and cognitive health—in the form of better memories—when we're older，”says Arthur Kramer of Northeastern University in Boston，who has found that，in humans，exercise promotes the growth of new brain cells.【语篇解读】本文为说明文，介绍了一项科学研究，从而得出早期锻炼对大脑终生有好处的结论。

课时提能练(三十四)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2019·济南市针对性训练)The modern pizza was originally invented in Naples，Italy，but the word pizza is Greek in origin，derived from the Greek word pēktos meaning solid or clotted.The ancient Greeks covered their bread with oils，herbs and cheese.The first major innovation that led to flatbread pizza was the use of tomato as a topping.It was common for the poor of the area around Naples to add tomatoes to their yeast －based flatbread，and so the pizza began.While it is difficult to say for sure who invented the pizza，it is however believed that modern pizza was first made by baker Raffaele Esposito of Naples.In fact，a popular urban legend holds that the archetypal(原型的) pizza，Pizza Margherita，was invented in 1890，when the Royal Palace of Capodimonte asked the Neapolitan pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito to create a pizza in honor of the visiting Queen Margherita.Of the three different pizzas he created，the Queen strongly preferred a pie wrapped in the colors of the Italian flag：red (tomato)，green (basil)，and white(mozzarella)．Supposedly，this kind of pizza was then named after the Queen as Pizza Margherita.Later，the dish has become popular in many parts of the world：■The first pizzeria，Antica Pizzeria Port'Alba，was opened in 1830 in Naples.■In North America，the first pizzeria was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi at 53 Spring Street in New York City.■The first Pizza Hut，the chain of pizza restaurants appeared in the United States in 1958.■Nowadays，many varieties of pizza exist worldwide，along with several dish variants based upon pizza.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了比萨的历史渊源。

] Ⅱ.阅读七选五(2019·武汉调研)On December 22, 2016 I landed in the land of the “American Dream”． 1 Here is one of the things I've struggled with during my almost one year in the States.2 My uncle and aunt joked that I brought rain from Saigon to America. Saigon, where I come from, is the old name of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.Vietnam is a tropical country where it rains most of the year.

But I was really surprised to find chilltothebone weather in San Francisco—a big shift from Silicon Valley in only about an hour's drive. How strange!5 The worst is that I get a runny nose whenever I wake up in the morning. Because I am allergic to the cold and windy weathers, I keep sneezing badly, and even more badly if I get caught in the cold.
