Unit 1 How can we become good learners？拓展阅读试题试着做一做Imagine the situation. You are an exchange student from China and now you are learning French in a university in Paris, the capital city of France.

This kind of wonderful kitchen is called a French Digital Kitchen or a “talking kitchen”．What do you think of the “talking kitchen”？A French Digital Kitchen has been developed at Newcastle University in the UK. It teaches students how to cook French food and speak French at the same time. For the first time, students can learn the language by following cooking steps.All grammar and vocabulary have been carefully chosen to make sure the users can understand French well. After learning for some time, the users can test themselves by doing a short test on the computer.The kitchen project was started by Professor Paul Seedhouse. He began to show interest in the idea after he visited another kind of talking kitchen. He said, “The purpose of the French Digital Kitchen is to make learning a language more interesting and more educational.”How does the kitchen work? There is a computer in the kitchen. With this computer, the users can first choose a French recipe(菜谱) that they want to follow. Using information in the computer, the kitchen starts to guide the usershow to make a French dish. If you follow the instructions on the computer, it moves on to the next. If you go wrong, the program goes back and repeats the recipe or information. At any time, the users can ask the kitchen to repeat the recipe or any information.The new kitchen can be used in schools, universities and even people's homes. The researchers can also be developing the European Digital Kitchen, for the next three years.1．The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________．A．tell how to cook in FranceB．introduce the theme of this passageC．introduce a way to improve cooking skillsD．describe the life of an exchange student in Paris2．Where did Professor Paul Seedhouse get the idea of the French Digital Kitchen?A．French grammar and vocabulary.B．A kitchen which can talk.C．An exchange student's life in Paris.D．A kitchen project.3．If users do not follow the instructions on the computer,the kitchen ________．A．goes to the next stepB．stops working at onceC．chooses another recipeD．shows the recipe or information again4．The last paragraph mainly tells us that ________．A．the digital kitchen will become more and more importantB．the digital kitchen will become more and more popularC．how many kinds of digital kitchens will be developedD．how many places the digital kitchen can be used 5．From the passage we can learn that ________．A．learning languages can be more enjoyable as well as more educationalB．we can depend on the kitchen to learn a foreign language well C．students needn't go to school to learn a foreign languageD．the kitchen helps students cook delicious French food答案：1.B 2.B 3.D 4．B 5.AUnit 2 I think that mooncakes are delicious!拓展阅读试题阅读文章More and more young people from China begin to celebrate Father's Day.

(四)哲理故事Ⅰ.完形填空My friend Richard went far to work, so he asked me to take care of his yard in the mountains. He worked hard and often kept the yard 1 without any grass.

In the early 3 , in March, the leaves were green and soft.A month later, when the leaves spread quickly, I discovered they were like wild orchids(兰花) in the forest.As the summer came, the “grass” really flowered. The flowers looked like those forest orchids, 4 they were yellow, unlike those purple or brown red forest orchids. I picked one flower, then went to find a friend who studied 5 . As soon as my friend saw it he asked me 6 I picked it. “It’s amazing!” He 7 explained, “This kind of orchid is hard to find. Now it is worth at least 10,000 dollars each.”I told the good news to Richard. He was 8 . After a while he said gently, he saw the orchid in the yard every year, but he thought it was common grass, so he always plucked it. He said, “If I could 9 , it would flower a few years before.”Yes, all of us might miss some rare(稀有的) orchids in our own lives.

One day, I asked the old woman,“Why don’t you get another pot? The cracked one always makes water drop all the way back to your house.”The old woman smiled, “Did you notice that there are flowers on one side of the road, but not on the other side? That’s because I have always known about the crack, so I planted flower seeds(种子) on the side of the road. And every day while I walk back, I can water them.”“For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to make my house more beautiful.

专题一：文化类第一篇Are you an eating­lover? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program A Bite of China? It's a TV program on Chinese delicious food which has been produced by CCTV. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foodsNoodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with its candles lit in many western countries. Since noodles mean long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on the plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last, pointed towards the most valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanuts or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan in Chinese history.()1. A Bite of China is ________．A. a magazineB. a newspaperC. a filmD. a TV program()2. According to the passage, in traditional Chinese culture, people will eat ________ on their birthdays.A. eggsB. noodlesC. fishD. cakes()3. Fish has a special meaning in Chinese culture mainly because ________．A. it is served last at a partyB. it is pointed to the valued guestC. it sounds like the word yu in ChineseD. it is so delicious that all Chinese people like it()4. ________ in the Dragon Boat Festival make(s) us think of Qu Yuan.A. ZongziB. MeatC. PeanutsD. Dumplings()5. The article mainly talks about ________．A. Chinese foodB. Chinese historyC. Chinese festivalsD. Chinese language第二篇In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts(主人)and the worst guests in the world. They're not really bad guests, but because the guest­host relationship in China is much different than insome western countries, it appears they are not nice guests. And western hosts sometimes look rude(粗鲁的)in the eyes of Chinese guests.In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.My wife's mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non­smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke？”But, don't be surprised if they say, “No, you can't smoke.”In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they do not allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.In China, you probably won't need to change the guest host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.()1. Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the________ in the world.A. bestB. worstC. most naturalD. most different()2. When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often________．A. buys some fruitB. feels like a godC. wants some giftsD. takes a cup of tea()3. If the writer's guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say?A. It's OK if you smoke here.B. Let's smoke together.C. Sorry, you can't smoke here.D. Smoking is a bad habit.()4. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to”in the passage?A. think back toB. get used toC. look forward toD. keep close to()5. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Foreigners should learn from Chinese.B. Hosts must do things in the guests' way.C. Western hosts are always nice to guests.D. People should understand cultural differences.第三篇By November 30, 2015, the comedy Goodbye, Mr. Loser had got more than 1,400 million yuan inticket sales.It was amazing that a film with common actors who had their first shows in the film got such great success.

A baby shower is a party where a pregnant (怀孕的) woman is “showered”with gifts and good wishes. A baby shower is usually given by a close female friend or a relative of the mother-to-be. Sometimes coworkers of a pregnant person will also hold a baby shower for her.The baby shower is usually given when the mother-to-be is between 6 and 9 months pregnant.Predicting the date of a baby’s birth isn’t always exact. Sometimes a baby shower can also happen after the baby is born. A baby shower can be held in s omeone’s home or outside, like in a restaurant or a catering hall. Traditionally only women are invited to a baby shower. However, more and more baby showers are also including the father-to-be.Like a bridal shower, a mother-to-be will register (登记) a wish list of things she wants at one or several stores . This list usually includes things the mother wants for her baby like clothes, diapers and even furniture. This way friends and family members can go to the stores and buy something from the list. Registering helps make sure that there aren’t repeat items, like 30 bottles when a new mom on ly needed 15.At a baby shower, people can give cards with wishes for the new baby and mom.

On January 12,2013,Seattle residents(居民)set the Guinness World Record for the largest snowball fight. More than 5,800 people showed up to throw snowballs at one another at the Seattle Center.It didn’t snow in Seattle on that day, but there was snow in a small corner of the city—enough to make a lot of kids’dreams come true. Trucks transported 34 loads of snow from Snoquahnie Pass to theSeattle Center. It took 162,000 pounds of snow to build the winter wonderland.The event, which was called “Snow Day”,was organized by Seattle businessman Neil Bergquist, also the fundraiser(筹资者)for the Boys and Girls Clubs of King County. He spent three months organizing the playful activity. He wanted to raise money for kids “by remembering what it was like to feel like a kid.”Although people in Seattle weren’t used to snow, they succeeded in getting enough people to come out and play. About 6,000 tickets were sold online and there were 130 judges for the official snowball fight.A Guinness official said there were 5,834 people taking part in the activity.

But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school.Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together. Within 12 days，they mademore than 1,500 yuan.Among them，the oldest is 21 years old，while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural areas.“Compared to traveling，such social practice connects us and makes us learn how tough our parents are，”said Dalin,18，to the City Morning Post.

However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's a non­working day in the whole ofBritain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.The exact origin(起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest (神父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.One more thought is about the “Alms Box”placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers (做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating (捐赠) their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.()1. If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on ________．A. December 25thB.

We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle," said Tao Siliang, secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.But some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all.

（1）Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village・As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped・ He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg・ No chains（辛员链）,no cages・ It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason they did not.He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn't try to get away."Well, "the trainer said, “when they are veiy young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's eno ugh to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they can not break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free?"How could it be?

Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first language? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first finger, which they extend or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb（拇扌旨）to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers.A group of scientists studied aboriginal（土著白勺）people in Australia. These people don't have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don't even have words for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe（部落）in northwestern Brazil dorft have words for numbers such as "one” or u three^・ They are not able to say "five trees99 or u ten trees” but can say "some trees”, “more trees" or “many trees”. Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count, “But here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but it's not useful in their culture, so they've never picked it up."Although all humans are able to understand quantities（数量），not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting・ Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too.1.The writer begins with the. four questions in order to ___________ ・A.make a surveyB.interest readersC.tell a storyD.solve math problems2.What do we learn fi-om the difference in finger counting between the U.S. and China?A.People from China count much faster than people from the U.S.B.People from China need two hands to count from one to ten.C.People of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting.D.People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.3.Which of the following is true about aboriginal Australians?A.They have only a few words for numbers・B.They have hand movements to stand for numbers.C.They can only count to five on their fingers.D.They can understand different ideas about numbers・4.The study of the Piraha tribe shows that ___________ ・A.people all over the world know how to countB.people of the tribe have words for numbersC.some groups of people are not smart enough to countD.counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe5.What is the main idea of the passage?A.People from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math.B.Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans.C.In some aboriginal cultures, people don't even know how to count.D.Some languages don't have number words because people don't need numbers・（3）I spoke at a middle school in 1995・ When it was over, the headmaster asked me if I would visit a student.

I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming, difficulties than I. He looked at it for amoment and handed it back, saying, "Rick，you are a champion・ You earned that medal. Someday, when I get to the Olympics and win my gold medal, I will show it to you：Last summer I heard from Matthew's parents. They wanted me to read a letter he wrote to me a few days before his death・Dear Rick,Pve kept all the letters you wrote to me. I told you someday I was going to the Olympics to win a gold medal.

阅读理解大全(一)When you are learning English, you find it not clever to translate an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence "How do you do " for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.Languages don't just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It's important to master the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order , the listener can't understand the speaker's sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change between the two pairs of sentences:"She only likes apples." "Only she likes apples.""I have seen the film already." "I have already seen the film."When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.( )1.From the passage we know that when we are learning English.A. we shouldn't put every word into our languageB. we should look up every word it the dictionaryC. we need to put every word into our own language( )2.We can learn from the passage that .A. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be differentB. the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentenceC. sometimes different order of words has a different meaning( )3.

He must change his reading speed to fit his purpose and the material he is reading, just as a driver does fit the road situation. A good reader may be able to read a thousand words per minute (WPM) , but he won't use that speed for everything he reads. A good reader doing research reading in the library may read at the speed of 1,000 words per minute as he looks for materials for a report. But once he finds something that is useful to him, hemay need to slow down to 100 WPM . A good reader may read newspaper and magazine articles at 600 WPM . But it may take him 150 WPM to read his science or maths text .

It was about 15 miles away on the other side of the hill. There we felt sure that we would find a bed for the night . Darkness fell along the narrow road to the hill. As we climbed higher, it became colder and rain began to fall. It was difficult at times to see the road, so I asked my friend John to drive slowly.Now we traveled for about 20miles but we could not find the town. We were beginning to feel worried. Then the car stopped. We found we were out of petrol, so we decided to spend the night in the car.After eating some bread, I tried to go to sleep at once, but John, a poor sleeper, got out of the car after a few minutes and went for a walk up the hill. Soon he came running back. From the top of the hill he had seen the lights of the town in the valley below. We at once tried to push car to the top of the hill. In less than an hour we were in the town, and we found a hotel there easily.1.

John ______________.A. was a poor man.B. couldn't sleep wellC. didn't like to sleep in the carD. knew the town well（四）C A A C B(五)"Cool" is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. "Cool" can be used to express feelings of interest in almost everything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say. "It's cool." You may think,"He's so cool,"when you see your favourite football player.We all maximize(扩大)the meaning of "cool". You can use it instead of many words, such as "new" or"surprising".Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her student to write about the waterfall(瀑布) they had visited. On the student's paper was just the one sentence,"It's so cool."Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words. Without "cool", some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性).Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word "cool" I can. And I think they are also very cool.1.We know that the word "cool" has had ________.A. only one meaningB. no meaningC. many different meanings2.In the passage, the word "express" means "_______".A. seeB. showC. know3.If you are ________ something, you may say,"It's cool."A. interested inB. angry aboutC. worried about4.The writer takes an example to show he is ________ the way the word is used.A. pleased withB. strange toC. worried about5.In the passage, the writer suggests(暗示)that the word "cool"___________.A. can be used instead of many wordsB. usually means something interestingC. can make your life colorful(五)C B A A C(六)Last week, 169 Junior 1 students at No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang took their first no-teacher exam. After the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back. A student collected in the papers when the exam ended."That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral (道德). We wanted to show students how important honesty is," said Cai Wenguo , the school's headmaster. The school says no cheating (作弊)happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80% of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas. "I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted (信任) me," said Lang Yudan, a 13-year-old girl in Class 11."Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators (监考人). But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when needed, 99 said Hua Sha."I don' t like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed," Liu Qingxi said."I think it's very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want tocheck their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them," Shangguan Yuan said.Not using invigilators may be a good idea. But before using it, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams.( ) 1.

The meeting, the Sixth World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference (世界贸易组织第六次部长级会议), will be held from December 13 to 18.Poor countries say that the WTO's international trade rules are not fair. The rules allow rich countries, like the US and those of the EU, to give money, or subsidies (津贴), to their farmers. With the subsidies, farmers are able to sell their crops at lower prices.As a result, world prices go down. Farmers in poor countries that don't have subsidies get less money and even lose their livelihoods.Since China joined the WTO in 2001, for example, lots of subsidized US cotton (棉花) has been sold in the country. Cotton prices fell from about 6 yuan to less than 3 yuan per kg in 2001 and 2002.Every year, rich countries support their farmers with more than US$300 billion. During the coming Hong Kong meeting, poorer nations will ask the rich nations to get rid of the subsidies.Zhang Xiangchen, a senior official from China's Ministry of Commerce (商务部), said China believes that rich countries should end their subsidies by 2010.1. What problem will the Hong Kong meeting try to solveA. Air pollution.B. International trade.C. Agricultural modernization.2. Who might the meeting benefit (有利于)A. Farmers in rich countries.B.
