II.阅读理解AWhen I was a kid, I found a book about a little girl whose grandma had passed away. Before falling asleep one night, I asked my grandmother to read it to me. When she finished reading, I looked into her light blue eyes.“Grandma，” I asked, “will you ever die？”“Unfortunately, I will，” she said.“Do all people have to die？” I asked.“Yes，” she answered.“Why？” I asked.“How could you enjoy every second of life if you knew you could live it forever? You never know how much you love something until you lose it.” she replied, I gave her a kiss on the cheek, telling her that I would love her forever.The next night I sat on my parents’ bed watching TV with them. The phone rang. My dad answered it. I saw the smile on his face disappear. Then he looked at my mom and me. He stared at us for a long time. Then he said, “Grandma is gone. She had a heart attack. It was too late when people found her.”I then sat there still for the next few minutes. I had never lost anyone before in my life. I didn’t know what to do. All that ran through my head was that I was never going to see her again. At that moment, I loved my grandma more than I ever had before. I thought of everything she had done for me.Life changes though we don’t expect it to. I never knew I would remember forever what my grandma said that night. Of course I am upset when people die, but missing them makes me love them more every second. No one can live forever, so we should try to live every second to the fullest.1. When the writer asked why everyone would die, her grandmother tried to make her understand that _____.A. nobody wants to live foreverB. people will work harder if they know they will dieC. only those who live for a short time will succeedD. knowing we will die makes us enjoy life more2. The news that the writer’s father received over the phone was that the writer’s grandma_____.A. was missingB. was dyingC. had diedD. had an accident3. When hearing the sad news, what did the writer do?A. She didn’t move for a few minutes.B. She ran to her grandma’s home at once.C. She cried out at once.D. She asked her father what exactly happened.4. By writing this passage, the writer wants us to _____.A. know that everyone will dieB. spend every minute with those we loveC. try our best to help those we loveD. live every second to the fullest5. Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage?A. Why People DieB. What Grandma Taught MeC. Grandma’s Life StoryD. Death Is TerribleBNo two cultures are the same. The American and Indian cultures have very vast differences between them. While the culture of America is a mixture of different cultures, the Indian culture is unique and has its own values.One of the major differences that can be seen between American and Indian cultures is in family relations. While the Indians are very much family oriented(以…为导向), the Americans are individual oriented. In Indian culture, the family values are more important than the individual values. Indians respect family values. On the other hand, in American culture the individual values get more importance than the family values.In another sense, it can be said that the American culture is more goal oriented and the Indian culture is more people or family oriented. Indians may even forsake their individual wishes and also happiness for families. But in American culture, this cannot be seen.Unlike the Indians, the Americans plan things ahead. The Americans believe in dominating(统治) nature and controlling the environment around them. On the contrary, Indians believe in the harmony with nature. Another difference that can be seen between Indian culture and American culture is that the Indians love stability(稳定)while the Americans love mobility(变化).In American culture, one can see that individuals think of self-reliance. On the other hand, Indians are more dependent on others. While the children in the US are brought up to live an independent life, the children in India are not brought up in that way. In Indian culture, there is respect for the elders and it is they who make decisions. But in American culture, each individual makes his own decisions.Coming to competition, Indians are more competitive than the Americans. Coming to work nature, the Indians work for meeting the family needs. On the contrary, an American will only work hard to rise on his own. Another difference that can be seen is that Americans have great regard for time and its value while Indians are different.6. From Paragraph 2, we know that compared to Americans, Indians _____.A. pay more attention to themselvesB. don’t value so many things in their lifeC. give less importance to their cultureD. are more devoted to their families7. What does the underlined word “forsake” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. expose toB. show offC. give upD. take up8. What is right about children in India according to the passage?A. They often struggle to become independent.B. They are usually not encouraged to make decisions.C. They usually don’t show much respect for the elderly.D. They are taught to depend on themselves from an early age.9. This passage is mainly developed by _____.A. making comparisonsB. giving examplesC. explaining causesD. describing a process10. The passage is mainly about_____.A. why Americans don’t love their familiesB. What Indians would do when they are kidsC. the differences between Americans and IndiansD. the benefits of living in AmericaIII.完形填空We are often warned by our teacher not to waste precious time, because time 11 will never return. I think it quite true. What does time look like? Nobody knows for we can’t see it or 12 it and no amount of money can 13 it.Time passes very quickly. Some students say they don’t have 14 time to review all their lessons. It is because they don’t know how to make 15 of their time. They waste it in going to theatres, cinemas and parks, and doing 16 things. Why should we 17 time? The 18 very simple. We wish to save time because time is valuable.Today we are living in the 21st century. We look upon time as 19 .When a person dies, his life 20 . Since life is short, we must 21 our time and energy to our study so that we may be able to 22 the people well in the future. Laziness is the thief of time, for it does not only bring us failure but also 23 us other harm. If it is necessary for us to do our work today, let us do it today and not 24 it until tomorrow.Remember that time is much more 25 than money.11. A. expected B. found C. lost D. made12. A. get B. have C. see D. touch13. A. find B. sense C. buy D. realize14. A. little B. enough C. valuable D. useful15. A. use B. light C. up D. fun16. A. another B. other C. some D. any17.

Unit 3 课下能力提升(十二)Ⅰ.阅读理解Mr Bean is an internationally recognized comedy character on TV and in films. He always gets into awkward and absurd (荒谬的) situations, which greatly amuses audience regardless of their nationality or culture. The humour is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely simply on body language.One of my favourite shows is Mr Bean in a restaurant. After being seated at his table, Mr Bean takes out a card, writes a few words on it, seals (密封) it in an envelope and places it on the table. After a moment, he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised, as if he did not know it was there. He opens it to find a birthday card and happily puts it on the table for everyone to see.When he looks at the menu, a surprised look quickly appears on his face. He takes all the money out of his wallet, counts it and puts it in a saucer (茶托). He then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he finds one thing that makes him smile. Then he orders a dish called “steak tartare”. When the dish arrives, he is shocked to discover that “steak tartare” is actually raw hamburger. He makes an attempt to eat it, but it is clear from the look on his face that he finds the taste truly disgusting. He can't hide his feelings, except when a waiter asks if everything is all right. When this happens, he smiles and nods, showing that everything is fine. When the waiters are not looking, however, he hides the raw meat anywhere he can reach — the sugar bowl, the tiny flower vase, and under a plate. He becomes so desperate (孤注一掷的) in the end that he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurant's violinist!I like to watch Mr Bean on TV, but I wouldn't like to meet someone like him in real life and I certainly wouldn't like to have dinner with him!1．From the passage, we know Mr Bean is famous for ________.A．making filmsB．his spoken EnglishC．playing a role in all kinds of filmsD．his funny performances in comedies2．Why is Mr Bean famous all over the world?A．He often has meals in special restaurants.B．He amuses the audience from different countries.C．He acts on TV and in films.D．He acts on body language and spoken language.3．What does the underlined word “disgusting” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Delicious. B．Strange.C．Unpleasant. D．Fresh.4．Why does Mr Bean pretend to smile in front of the waiter?A．Because he doesn't want the waiter to feel bad.B．Because he doesn't want to say bad things.C．Because he likes to express himself in the opposite way.D．Because he thinks the waiter dislikes him.Ⅱ.任务型阅读How to make new friends quicklyFriends come and go.

Unit 1 课下能力提升(四)Ⅰ.阅读理解The pen is more powerful than the sword.There have been many writers who use their pens to write things that were wrong.Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.She was born in the U．S.A.in 1811.One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freeing the enslaved race.The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.This book that shook the world was called Uncle Tom's Cabin.There was a time when every English­speaking man, woman, and child had read this novel that did so much to stop slavery.Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm­hearted writer can arouse people's sympathies.The author herself had neither been to the Southern States nor seen a slave.The Southern Americans were very angry at the

the slaves free.1．Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe became famous for ________.A．one of her booksB．she was a very warm­hearted personC．she was a kind wifeD．she worked for the war2．Why could Mrs Harriet

than swinging a sword.Ⅱ.任务型阅读School's out for the day.But what should you do with the kids？1.________ Public school teacher and blogger Chelly Wood believes that “it's important for kids to get at

Unit 1 课下能力提升(四)Ⅰ.阅读理解The pen is more powerful than the sword.There have been many writers who use their pens to write things that were wrong.Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.She was born in the U．S.A.in 1811.One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freeing the enslaved race.The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.This book that shook the world was called UncleTom'sCabin.There was a time when every English­speaking man, woman, and child had read this novel that did so much to stop slavery.Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm­hearted writer can arouse people's sympathies.The author herself had neither been to the Southern States nor seen a slave.The Southern Americans were very angry at the
