限时规范练37(模块七Unit3)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、了解世界节日的思维意识一、阅读理解AFebruary was a hard month for Internet-connected toys.First,Germany stopped the sale of My Friend Cayla.The German government believed that hackers (电脑黑客) could use the talking toy to get information on kids.Then puter users learned that CloudPets,made by Spiral Toys,had a problem.The toy’s Internet connection allows users to send and receive voice puter experts discovered that CloudPets’ database was not safe.The private information of more than 820,000 users was at risk of being stolen.Computer hackers didn’t only hit toys.Many big companies in the U.S.have also been hacked.The hits showed emails,card numbers,fingerprints,and other private information.Experts are looking for ways to fight hackers.Kids are joining the fight and getting ready to lead.The organizers of CyberPatriot see the advantages of getting an early start in cybersecurity (网络安全).In 2016,69,000 students took part in the cyber-education program.Its goal is to encourage kids to make achievements in cybersecurity and in STEM fields,including science and technology.CyberPatriot’s central project is the yearly National Youth Cyber Defense Competition.Winners receive some money to help pay for their education.The competition takes place over severalmonths.Student teams manage the computer network at a fictional company.They must find and fix its security problems.From April 3 to 5,the nation’s top teams competed in the finals,in Baltimore,Maryland.Team Error 37,from Summit Lakes Middle School,in Lee’s Summit,Missouri,won the middle school group.“There will be a lot of jobs that require cybersecurity knowledge,” said team member Keenan Curp,13.Arjun Pratap Ghoshal,13,also competed in Baltimore.He was the leader of a team from Oak Valley Middle School,in San Diego,California.“We have to teach kids around us about cybersecurity,” he says,“so that we can prevent harmful hacking.”1.Why was February hard for My Friend Cayla?A.It was less popular among kids.B.It was taken off the market.C.It couldn’t provide information for kids.D.It couldn’t be connected to the Internet.2.What was the problem with CloudPets?A.Their database was in danger.B.Their information was missing.C.Their Internet connection didn’t work.D.Their users couldn’t send voice messages.3.What’s the purpose of CyberPatriot?A.To get kids to work with scientists.B.To teach kids how to fix computers.C.To keep kids away from computers.D.To educate kids about cybersecurity.BThe mind of an elephant should not be underestimated.They are intelligent animals born with both excellent memory and artistic talent.Elephants eat about 495 pounds of vegetarian food a day.They spend about 16 hours a day eating,but must walk about 4 miles a day in search of food.The average elephant lives about 70 years,and its sharp memory allows it to remember places where it has found food as long as 30 years earlier,even as a baby.In an elephant’s travels,it comes across other elephants also looking for food.Some elephants are friendly,and some are not so nice.Elephants remember every elephant they have ever met.They can even recognize an elephant they perhaps haven’t seen for 30 years.They immediately remember whether this elephant is an enemy or a friend.When elephants are not searching for food,they sometimes produce art in the sand with their trunks (象鼻).They seem to enjoy just relaxing and painting in the sand.One day,an elephant zoo-keeper noticed this and gave an elephant a paint brush filled with red paint to see if the elephant would paint on a canvas (画布).Sure enough,it did,and since then elephants in most zoos have been given paint brushes,paints,and canvases.The resulting abstract art has been sold for high prices around the world.The money goes to support feeding the elephants in the zoos.Most felt that the elephants were only capable of painting abstracts.However,they have been trained to paint trees,flowers,and other things in nature.This has enabled us to understand “elephant genius” even more.4.What does the underlined word “underestimated” mean?A.Mistaken.B.Controlled.C.Undervalued.D.Underdeveloped.5.What can we learn about elephants’ memory?A.It remains excellent for 70 years.B.It differs greatly among elephants.C.It is at its best in the first 30 years.D.It can reach as far back as 30 years.6.Why did the zoo-keeper give the elephant a brush?A.To attract visitors to it.B.To train it to paint pictures.C.To prove it was a born artist.D.To find out whether it could draw.7.Which can best describe elephants according to the text?A.Really brave.B.Highly smart.C.Unusually quiet.D.Extremely friendly.二、七选五In this fast-paced life,it’s hard to find the time to cook.But cooking for other people can be fun and beneficial because it comes with some positive psychological benefits.1.Performing an act for another human being,like cooking for them,is a form of selflessness.And it can make people feel happy and connected to others.Cooking is a form of nurturing(养育).When it comes to cooking,you are feeding someone,which is necessary for survival.Cooking for others is nurturing.2.Cooking can create bonds.If you’re cooking for someone,even if they’re not present during the act,it can absolutely bring a sense of closeness in that you’re expressing your love and care for someone.3.And cooking for others helps us build and strengthen those connections.4.Not only does cooking for yourself help you eat more healthfully,but it also sends yourself a message that you are important.Cooking can also help raise your confidence.Cooking is a practice of mindfulness.Cooking can encourage us to really focus.5:walk away for a minute and you can burn the onions;check in with your phone and your water can overflow.Cooking brings us together,and it continues to create communities — and with community comes feelings of connection and happiness.Now all you have to do is find the time to add cooking into your busy life.A.Making connections is one of human’s basic needsB.If you lose your focus things can easily go wrongC.It can provide a means for social acceptanceD.Cooking can strengthen your knowledgeE.Cooking for others is a selfless actF.It is helping to keep them aliveG.Cooking is a form of self-care三、语法填空A bone thought to belong 1. St.Nicholas,the fourth-century saint (圣徒) on whom the legend of Father Christmas is based,has been dated by Oxford University.Scientists used a radio carbon test to date the relic,and 2. (find) it dates from the time of the saint,who is believed to have died around 343 AD.While the 3. (result) of the tests do not provide proof that the bone is his,it does tie the relic to the same era.According to the Oxford team,this is the first test 4. (do) on the bones.“Many relics that we study turn out to date to a period rather 5. (late) than the historic statements would suggest,” said Professor Tom Higham,director of the Oxford Relics Cluster at Keble College’s Advanced Studies Centre.“This bone,in contrast,suggests that we could 6. (possible) be looking at remains from St.Nicholas himself.”Dr Georges Kazan,another director of the Oxford Relics Cluster,said,“These findings encourage us 7. (attempt) to show that the bone remains are from the same individual.”“It is 8. (excite) to think that these relics,9. date from such an ancient time,could be genuine.”St.Nicholas is thought to have lived in Myra (modern-day Turkey).He is one of 10.most respected of the saints,and was famed for his generosity.限时规范练37(模块七Unit3)一、【篇章导读】本文是新闻报道。
限时规范练14(模块三Unit1B)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、历史地理的素养能力意识一、阅读理解AThe island of Cuba is no bigger than Pennsylvania.Yet when it comes to nature,the island is one of the most important places on the planet.That is the message of ¡Cuba!,an exhibit that opened in November at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH),in New York City.“The biodiversity (生物多样性) of Cuba is part of Cuban identity,” Ana Luz Porzecanski says.She is the director of the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation at AMNH and one of the two curators (a person in charge of a museum exhibit) of the exhibit.Detailed recreations of four habitats transport typical parts of Cuba’s landscapes and seascapes to New York.They include ancient caves and a network of reefs.One area features live anole lizards,a Cuban tree frog,and a Cuban boa.Cuba boasts more than 6,500 species of plants,161 kinds of reptiles,65 types of amphibians,42 species of mammals,and 367 bird species.One of those is the bee hummingbird.Weighing far less than an ounce (about 28 grams),it is the smallest bird on Earth.Much of the wildlife found in Cuba exists only there.That gives scientists a unique opportunity to study how plants and animals develop and survive.“Cuba is a very exciting place for us to look at all these different processes,” says Christopher Raxworthy.He is in charge of one department of the museum and a cocurator of the exhibit.“But that also creates great challenges for conservation.”Climate change is threatening Cuba’s wildlife.Some species may even disappear.The country is taking steps to protect its plants and animals.But AMNH hopes ¡Cuba! will show how important the country’s natural world is to everyone.1.What can be known about ¡Cuba!?A.It shows Cuba’s rich biodiversity.B.It compares the islands on the planet.C.It features Cuba’s social development.D.It opens in a museum in Pennsylvania.2.What does the underlined word “boasts” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Increases.B.Needs.C.Has.D.Expects.3.What does Christopher find challenging?A.To organize the exhibition.B.To observe plants and animals.C.To study the unique species of Cuba.D.To protect the native wildlife of Cuba.4.What is the best title for the text?A.Cuba fights climate changeB.Travel from Cuba to AmericaC.Wildlife conservation faces threatD.AMNH’s Cuba exhibit explores biodiversityBWhen Anthony and Jacqueline Rich’s dog Monty died last November at the age of 14,the couple,who are in their sixties and have had dogs for forty years of married life,were devastated.Today there is another dog Ollie at their home.He came to them after the death of his 81-year-old owner and they already “love him to pieces”.It’s a simple enough equation — bereaved (丧失亲人的) owner plus bereaved pet equals comfort and new joy for both parties.The benefits of animal companionship for older people are now well documented;it is the practicalities that often prove the stumbling block.This month Dr June McNicholas,a health psychologist at Warwick University,will carry out a study which aims to identify those factors that may prevent the elderly from keeping pets and which suggests possible solutions.“Old people with pets are generally more active,” she says.“Obviously,walking a dog is good exercise and can also be a way of preserving social contacts or making new friendships,but even just getting up and down to see to the cat or going to the shops for food is better than nothing.Research has also found that those who have animals are likely to keep their homes warmer in winter and to feed themselves more regularly.Self-care is often tied in with pet care,which is especially important for those who live alone.”In an earlier project McNicholas studied the role of animals in helping people widowed (寡居的) after long marriages.Among 200 subjects,she found that symptoms of uncontrolled tearfulness and feelings of hopelessness and helplessness were all lowered among pet owners.McNicholas says,“In the early stages,the animal was a continuing link with the loved one.The bereaved often want to talk about the person they’ve lost,but other people don’t,so instead they talk to the dog,which responds to the name.We have no way of knowing whether animals are actually sympathetic,but they respond to changes in behaviour and body language in a way that gives comfort.5.What does the underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Grateful.B.Relaxed.C.Sorrowful.D.Confused.6.What does McNicholas mainly talk about in Paragraph 3?A.The benefits of keeping a pet.B.The troubles pet owners face.C.Factors preventing people having pets.D.Ways of handling old people’s loneliness.7.What did McNicholas’s earlier study find?A.Pets often show their owners sympathy.B.Pets can respond to their owners’ needs.C.Pets serve as their owners’ spiritual guide.D.Pets can help their owners with their sadness.8.What is the best title for the text?A.Get along well with your new petB.You are never too old to have a petC.Start your later life with a new hobbyD.Help older people live fully and happily二、完形填空My dog Chi Chi always has a smile on her face.However,before my family adopted her,her life was

Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.B.Because it ’s a natural part in our life.C.Because we’ve been taught so from a young age.D.Because mistakes have ruined many people’s careers.7. According to the passage,what is the right attitude to mistakes?A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.8.The underlined word “toddler ” in Paragr aph 6 probably means________.A. a small child learning to walkB. a kindergarten child learning to drawC. a primary pupil learning to readD. a school teenager learning to write9. We can learn from the passage that________.A. most of us can really grow from successB. growing and improving are based on mistakesC. we learn to make mistakes by trial and errorD. we read about something and know how to do it rightaway 10.The author wants to tell us________.A. what you should do when meeting with difficultiesB. where you can find your mistakesC. how you can avoid making mistakesD. why you should celebrate your mistakesⅢ. 书面表达(2020 ·福建龙岩市一级达标学校联考)近来,“中国式过马路”成为网友热议的话题。

限时规范练5(模块一Unit3A)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、亲情友情的能力意识一、阅读理解AWhen things get wildly busy in the morning,some people don’t have breakfast in order to save time.But that may be a big mistake for students.Whether at home,on the way to school or at school,eating something healthy for breakfast may help a student get better grades.Researchers looked at 5,000 9-11 year-olds from more than 100 primary schools in the U.K.They looked at what the students ate for breakfast and then their grades 6 to 18 months later.They found that the students who ate a healthy breakfast were twice as likely to perform above average in educational activities.The researchers also found that unhealthy breakfasts—such as potato chips or a donut did not appear helpful to educational performance.In 2013,an organization in the United States,also looked at possible connections between breakfast and student success in school.They found that on average students who ate breakfast provided by their school attended 1.5 more days of school per year.These students also scored 17.5 percent higher on standardized math tests.Health experts suggest that the best breakfast is a mix of complex carbohydrates(碳水化合物),protein and fat.This gives your body the energy it needs to think clearly and to remember what itlearns.Wholegrain(全麦的) bread is an example.The report explains that the brain needs glucose(葡萄糖) to work well.Simply eating a breakfast rich in carbohydrates may make a student tired.So,adding protein helps to prevent fatigue.Having a protein such as milk,yogurt,eggs or meat can help students to feel full longer.Oatmeal(燕麦粥),the researchers say,is an example of a breakfast that is rich in fiber and protein.It releases energy slowly because it is a wholegrain food.So,students will feel full longer.Health experts also suggest not eating too much for breakfast.This can also make a person feel tired and unable to think clearly.They say eating between 350 and 500 calories in the morning is a good amount of energy to start the day.1.What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 1?A.To analyze why breakfast is ignored.B.To lead in the main topic of the text.C.To stress the effect of eating healthily.D.To share a common mistake among students.2.Which of the following is the best breakfast choice?A.Wholegrain bread and some juice.B.A donut,an egg and a glass of milk.C.An egg,a glass of milk and some potato chips.D.Wholegrain bread with beef and a bowl of oatmeal.3.What does the underlined word “fatigue” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?ziness.B.Loneliness.C.Tiredness.D.Unhappiness.BI went to a New York Mets fantasy camp in 1991,an incredible experience.I was fortunate to be on a team whose pitching coach was Mel Stottlemyre,the former Yankees star pitcher(投手) and Mets and Yankees coach.I was saddened when Mel died of complications of multiple myeloma on Jan.13 at age 77.He was warm,friendly and treated us as if we were major leaguers.He asked me whether I would like to pitch and proceeded to demonstrate how to throw a “two-seam”,a fastball that tends to sink,as well as a straight four-seam fastball.I knew pretty quickly that pitching was not for me.At age 45,my experience in organized baseball was limited to a couple of years in Little League in the Bronx,and softball games as an adult.Mel eventually left the Mets and became the pitching coach for the Yankees.I followed his career and knew about his diagnosis with multiple myeloma,a blood cancer,in April 2000,and a stem cell transplant.In the summer of 2002,I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and was told that I needed a stem cell transplant by the same group of doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center that had treated Mel.This devastated me,and frankly,I became quite depressed.I vowed that somehow I would try to speak to Mel.One day,my phone rang.Mel was calling from the Yankee locker room.I asked him to tell me everything about his treatment.He spent 30 minutes generously explaining all the details.I hung on everyword.He told me how well he was feeling and ended the conversation by giving me his home phone number! “I feel great,and I’m not retiring,” he told me.This incredible experience lifted my spirits.Every time I saw Mel during games on TV as I awaited my transplant,I repeated to myself,“Look at Mel.If he can do it,so can I.”4.Why did the author say he was lucky in Paragraph 1?A.He joined a famous team.B.He met an unusual coach.C.He was successfully cured.D.He was chosen as a pitcher.5.What do we know about the author?A.He was not skilled in pitching.B.He has been a baseball player.C.He called Mel for his treatment.D.He forgot what Mel had told him.6.What does the underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?A.Thrilled but inspired.B.Ruined but rescued.C.Excited and relieved.D.Shocked and upset.7.What made the author confident in his transplant?A.The same doctors’ treating him.B.His determination of never retiring.C.Mel’s experience and encouragement.D.His experience of defeating the disease.二、七选五“Could you load (把碗碟放入) the dishwasher?” How many times have we asked our teenage children to do a chore and found later that it was done so poorly that we have to finish the job? 1 Kate Kelly,author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Parenting a Teenager,has some suggestions.2Don’t expect teens already know how to do something.Kelly says,“We left my teenage daughter alone for a few days.3 What a mess!” If you explain a chore,you will probably find it’s been done well.Use the team method.Kelly says,“We do so much for our kids.4” So,according to Kelly,when teens do something like cleaning the floor,they enjoy giving something back to the family.“And always remember teens should be thanked and praised.”Give one task at a time.If you can’t stand how clothes are always being left on the floor,don’t let your teens get away with it.5 Tell them that if they keep throwing their clothes on the floor,they won’t be allowed to see their friends at the weekend,and that’s it.Keep chores gender-neutral(不分性别的).Don’t leave all the kitchen chores for daughters,and jobs like washing the car or fixing things for sons.A.Explain the job.B.Remember to say thank you.C.However,she had no idea how to separate rubbish.D.Watering the plants can be a good way of relaxation.E.We drive them everywhere,and help with their homework.F.Few parents are happy with the way housework is done by their teenagers.G.Make them pick the clothes up,but don’t add on other chores at the same time.三、语法填空Clara Hale was born on April 1,1905 in North Carolina.In 1932,Clara faced the saddest thing in her life.Her husband died,1.

D.announcing 35.A.incident B.matterC.accident D.affairⅢ.阅读理解A popular saying goes,“Sticks and stonesmay break my bones,but words will never hurtme.”However,that’s not really true.Words have the power to build us up or tear us down.It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves—the positive and negative effects are lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes.We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it,though.But we really shouldn’t be,because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves is a healthy habit.This “selftalk”helps us motivate(激发) ourselves,remember things,solve problems and calm ourselves down.Be aware,though,that as much as 77% of selftalk tends to be negative.So in order to stay positive,we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves.We should also be quick to give_ourselves_a_pat_on_the_back.The next time you finish a project,do well on a test,or finally clean your room,join me in saying,“Good job!”Often,words came out of our mouths without us thinking about the effects they will have;but we should be aware that our words will cause certain responses to others.For example,when returning an item to a store,we might use warm,friendly language during the exchange.And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner.Or we can use harsh (苛刻的),critical language,which will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effects.Many of us regret something we once said.And we remember unkind words said tous!Before speaking,we should always ask ourselves:Is it true?Is it loving?Is it needed?If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test,then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power:both positive and negative.Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively.We can offer hope,build selfesteem(自尊) and motivate others to do their best.Negative words destroy all those things.Will we use our words to hurt or to heal?The choice is ours.36.The author argues in the first paragraph that ________.A.words will never hurt us at allB.words have lasting effects on usC.inspiring words give us confidenceD.negative words may let us down37.Why should not we feel embarrassed when it comes to talking to ourselves?A.Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.B.Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.C.Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.D.It is harmful to have “selftalk”when we are alone.38.The underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back”in Paragraph 3 means “________”.A.blame ourselvesB.punish ourselvesC.talk to ourselvesD.praise ourselves39.Which of the following statements would the author agree to?A.Unkind words are unlikely to be forgotten.B.Positive words may destroy all the good relations.C.It is better to think twice before talking to others.D.Kind words are sure to cause unfavorable responses.40.Why should we talk in a friendly way when returning an item to a store?A.Because kind words destroy true relationships.B.Because the clerk in a store is hard to deal with.C.Because critical language may hurt your feelings.D.Because friendly words cause positive responses.1.B2.C3.C4.A5.B6.D7.C8.A9.C 10.B 11.C 12.C 13.B 14.A15.A16.C 17.B 18.A 19.D 20.B 21.C 22.D 23.C 24.B 25.A26.B 27.C 28.B29.A 30.D 31.B 32.D 33.C 34.B 35.A36.B 37.A 38.D 39.C 40.D。

限时规范练38(模块七Unit4)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、健康旅游的思维意识一、阅读理解AYa Ting had taken me under her wing after hearing me speaking Chinese in a hotel in Lijiang.She had been hitchhiking (搭便车旅行) around China for months.She invited me to travel with her,which was how we ended up on the side of the road looking for a ride to the Tiger Leaping Gorge.Within 20 minutes,we had our first ride.The driver couldn’t take us all the way and ended up dropping us at a freeway crossroads.As a new hitchhiker,I thought that would be the end of our luck,but almost immediately we got another ride.Our most unforgettable ride was when a twenty-something kid picked us up.He couldn’t take us the whole way so his uncle bought us lunch and a bus ticket for the rest of the journey.He felt it was his duty to help us find a way to complete our trip.It brought tears of joy and thankfulness to my eyes.This was the first time I understood how guests are respected in China.A few weeks later,we said goodbye.I thought we had been so lucky because we had been a local and a foreigner traveling together.But now Ya Ting was no longer around to do the talking,nor did I have someone to depend on if something went wrong.When I stood by a highway in Sichuan,I knew all about the difficulties before me.Now I was just a strange foreigner on her own who suddenly had to manage with poor Chinese.After about 30 minutes,a couple picked me up and took me the whole eight hours to Chengdu.We ate lunch on the way,and they refused to allow me to pay for any of it,which I had come to learn was typical of Chinese culture.This made me believe that people weren’t being friendly because of Ya Ting.1.What do the author and Ya Ting have in common?A.They both are hitchhikers.B.They both are foreigners.C.They both live in Lijiang.D.They both speak Chinese well.2.What can we learn about the author’s trip to the Tiger Leaping Gorge?A.It was rather tiring.B.It was very smooth.C.It was full of danger.D.It was heart-breaking.3.What was the main cause of the author’s difficulties mentioned in Paragraph 3?A.She lost her way.B.She had little money left.C.She was unable to find her friend.D.She was a lone foreign traveler in China.4.What did the couple do when taking the author to Chengdu?A.They dropped her halfway.B.They lent her some money.C.They offered her a free lunch.D.They taught her about Chinese culture.BCharles Darwin lived an unusually quiet life.In 1842,Darwin and his wife Emma moved from London to Kent in southern England to have as little disturbance (烦扰) as possible.They already had two children then,and would go on to have eight more in the country.Darwin had very regular habits.He rose early and went for a walk.After breakfast he worked in his study until 9:30 am,his most productive time of the day,and then read his letters lying on the sofa before returning to work.At midday he would go for another walk with his dog,stopping at his greenhouse to inspect his experiments.Then he would go for another walk around an area of woodland.While walking on his “thinking path”,Darwin would consider his unsolved scientific problems.After lunch he read the newspaper and wrote letters.His network of friends provided information from all corners of the world.The Darwins were not very strict parents and the children were always seen running wild.Their father worked patiently with a background of playful shouts and little footsteps walking past his study door.After dinner Darwin played backgammon (a game for two people to play) with his wife.He once wrote,“Now the result with my wife in backgammon stands like this:she...has won only 2,490 games,while I have won,hurrah (a cheer of joy or victory),hurrah,2,795 games!”Although he had poor health,Darwin continued to publish a lot of creative works until his final book in 1881.He died the following year,aged 73.Rather than a quiet space in the local churchyard,which he called “the sweetest place onEarth”,Darwin was given a state funeral (国葬) in London’s Westminster Abbey.5.Why did the Darwins move to Kent?A.To do more experiments.B.To cut their cost of living.C.To enjoy more peacefulness.D.To be together with their children.6.What did Darwin do every day?A.He studied in the woods.B.He started to work at 9:30 am.C.He wrote letters in the morning.D.He examined his experiments.7.What did Darwin’s children probably think of him?A.Strict.B.Sweet.C.Cold.D.Brave.8.What is this text mainly about?A.Darwin’s personal life.B.Darwin’s large family.C.Darwin’s scientific achievements.D.Darwin’s unusual state funeral.二、完形填空The Silver Line,created this year,is a free,24 hours telephone helpline.It offers information,friendship and advice to 1people.“It’s often easier to speak to a2,and nice to

限时规范练4(模块一Unit2B)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与自然、关爱动物的素养能力意识一、阅读理解ADog owners who lived near Chicago’s Soldier Field knew how to watch out for the coyote (草原狼).The wild,doglike animal lived somewhere among the tall buildings near the football stadium.As the sun went down each evening,the coyote would lie in the grass next to a parking lot,waiting.Within his view,people walked their dogs along a bike trail.Each night,the coyote would charge at the first dog to come along.Dr.Stanley Gehrt,a scientist at the Ohio State University,led the team that solved the problem.Besides studying coyotes,he and his co-workers taught people ways to avoid problems with coyotes.In short,he says,“Don’t feed them,and manage your pets.”The secret to the coyote’s success is intelligence.To survive in the wild,a coyote must hunt small animals,and avoid becoming a meal for wolves or bears.“This way of living creates a super-smart animal,”Dr.Gehrt says.One of the smartest changes coyotes made was to hide during the day and come out mainly at night in the city.Coyotes have also learned to avoid their biggest killer:cars.One coyote has been seen sitting patiently at a busy crossroads.She may not know how traffic lights work,but she has learned that the cars will soon stop long enough for her to cross the street.The male (雄性的) that charged at passing dogs near Soldier Field is an example.Dr.Gehrt and his co-workers had already been watching the coyote for months,and the animal had always avoided dogs.But now he and his mate had a home with young coyotes on top of the parking lot nearby.He was charging at the dogs to protect his family.The researchers solved the problem.When the coyote pair appeared in the evening,they ran toward them,shouting and shaking a noisemaker—a coffee can with coins rattling (发出咔嗒咔嗒的声音) inside.“Usually,that’s all you have to do,”Dr.Gehrt says.“You do it once,and you’ll never see that coyote again.” Finally,the coyote pair moved out of the parking lot.1.What troubled the dog owners living near Soldier Field?A.Their dogs being attacked by the coyote.B.Their outdoor play being lessened.C.Limited space to walk their dogs.D.Increasingly heavy traffic.2.What did the researchers find out about city coyotes?A.They were not as smart as dogs.B.They were getting used to city life.C.They needed more care from people.D.They usually hunted during the day.3.How did the researchers solve the problem with the coyote pair?A.By frightening them away.B.By throwing cans at them.C.By catching them in the evening.D.By sending them away from Chicago.4.What’s the best title for the text?A.Smart Animals in the CityB.Meet the Coyote Next DoorC.Watch Out for the Coyote PairD.Our Love-hate Relationship with CoyotesBWhen my boss started talking about pension arrangements,it suddenly dawned on me:I was going to be stuck working in an office for the next 40 years.I’d always dreamed of working outdoors but I ended up doing a law degree at the University of the West of England in Bristol,thinking that this would bring me a better job.After graduating,I became an adviser.I enjoyed the work,but knew it wasn’t the right career for me.At this point,my 98-year-old grandma died,leaving me enough money to pay for an agricultural course.I decided to study agriculture at the Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester.I loved the programme.I spent my holidays from milking cows to helping in farm shops.I spent time lambing (照料母羊产羔羊) on a beautiful hill farm in Wales.I’d get up at 5 am in the morning and go out to care for the lambs that had been born overnight.In my old job,getting up early to go to the office was a struggle.It’s easier on a farm,where you know there are animals that rely on you.They’re living things,and if you don’t turn up something serious might happen to them.I’ve also been fortunate enough to find a job as industry communications manager with Red Tractor,the largest food assurance scheme (保障计划) in the UK.The role is very varied:one day I might talk at an agricultural show,educating children about where their food comes from;the next day I could be managing the design of the new food and farming standards.My advice to anyone wanting a career change is to seize the moment.To those interested in working in agriculture,try to get as much work experience as you can.5.What does the underlined part “dawned on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Hit.B.Moved.C.Excited.D.Satisfied.6.What does the author think of her job on a farm?A.Busy.B.Tiring.C.Difficult.D.Enjoyable.7.What did the author do at Red Tractor?A.She milked cows.B.She helped in farm shops.C.She took care of lambs on the farm.D.She gave speeches on agriculture to children.8.What is the author’s advice to readers?A.Work as a volunteer on a farm.B.Make a career change as soon as possible.C.Take the chance to do what you want to do.D.Get enough work experience before looking for a job.二、完形填空My bike was stolen last Saturday.Left with a

do voluntary works.I’ve volunteered for a variety of difference organisations.The activities include simple,everyday ones like cleaning our city square and take dogs for walks at an animal rescue centre.By volunteering,I’ve not only gained valuable experience and also built confidence in talking about strangers.I was used to be a shy person,but my volunteering experience gave us the opportunity to meet new people.Doing an activity I wouldn’t normal do with other volunteers made me had a really fun time.These are just few of the reasons why I think volunteering is worthwhile.限时规范练4(模块一Unit2B)一、【篇章导读】本文是说明文。
