Unit 5 Music李仕才一、阅读理解Chinese paper cutting or "jianzhi" is the art of cutting paper designs, and the cut-outs are also used to decorate doors and windows, so they are sometimes called "chuang hua". Paper cutting has long been a symbol of Eastern charm.There are symmetrical(对称的)designs that are usually created by some folding and cutting. When unfolded, it forms a symmetrical design. Chinese cut-outs are normally symmetrical and are usually in an even number series of 2, 4, 24,etc.The oldest surviving paper cut-out is a symmetrical circle from the early 6th century found in Xinjiang, China. From the 7th to 13th century, paper cutting became popular especially during Chinese festivals. The art spread to the rest of the world in the 14th century. Throughout the Qing Dynasty many paper cutting skills were developed including drafting and the use of smoked papers. By the end of the Qing ruling, however, paper cutting was once on the decline because new art forms were being introduced. The Republic of China later tried to revive the art in the 1980s.Today, paper cut-outs are chiefly decorative. They decorate walls, windows, doors, columns, mirrors, lamps and lanterns in homes and are also used on presents or are given as gifts themselves. Entrances decorated with paper cut-outs are supposed to bring good luck. Paper cut-outs used to be used as patterns, especially for embroidery(刺绣).There are two methods of manufacture: one uses scissors, the other uses knives. In the scissor method, several pieces of paper —up to eight —are fastened together. The image is then cut with sharp, pointed scissors. Knife cuttings are fashioned by putting several paper on a relatively soft foundation consisting of a mixture of oil and ashes. Skilled crafters can even cut out different drawings freely without stopping.1.When can the existing oldest paper cutting date back to?A. about 1 500 years ago.B. about 1 600 years ago.C. about 1 400 years ago.D. about 600 years ago.2.The underlined word "revive" in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by "_______".A. surviveB. restoreC. copyD. fix3.Which of the following words can best summarize the last paragraph?A.

Unit 5 Music李仕才一、阅读理解。

Nowadays, especially in China, everything seems to favor social intercourse, such as gatherings of friends, KTV, group travel, dining tighter, playing cards and Mahjong, plus the Chinese-style “street-crossing group.”Back home, discussions can still be boisterously carried on within the “circle of friends”of WeChat.However, these scenes cannot always ease a sense of loneliness. Zhu Ziqing, a well-known professor of Tsinghua University, signed with emotion: “My loneliness increases as scene becomes much busier.”One popular song today is also called “A lonely man in crowds.”Actually, engaging in social intercourse requires ability, while being alone involves the whole character.These days, it is not easy to calm down totally and return to one’s true self. Willpower, intellect and discipline are required. Einstein said: “It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether you will be successful or not.”The “spare time”he referred to could be taken as “spending time by yourself.”Lonely life could be either dull, boring and tasteless or abundant, interesting and colorful, depending on one’s quality, ambition and inspiration.Just as the body constantly requires energy, the mind and soul also demand unceasing inputs. However, information, to processed and integrated(融入)into knowledge, thoughts and feelings, instead of bustle(忙碌)seems to be theright condition. Successful careers in all walks of life worldwide have proved that “the soul grows in peace and talent is nurtured in loneliness”. In a sense, it may be reasonable to say that “Happiness tends to be shallow while loneliness involves profundity”.Man, in fact, needs loneliness more than happy time, and only abundant loneliness can produce quality happiness.1.Which of the following can replace the underlined the word “boisterously”in paragraph 1?A. surprisinglyB. sadlyC. busilyD. peacefully2.What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. Being alone marks people depressed.B. Social intercourse improves our happiness.C. One may feel lonely even when surrounded by peopleD. We should attend social intercourse to decrease our loneliness.3.What can we know from Einstein’s words?A. You should be successful if you spend all your time by yourself.B. You should exercise more if you want to keep your minds healthy.C. You will not become successful if you join in more social intercourse.D. You will be more successful if you can make your lonely time meaningful.4.Which may be the best title for this passage?A. Live On Your OwnB. Happiness and LonelinessC. The secret of successD. Practice Your Social Ability【文章大意】这是一篇议论文，讲述了幸福和孤独之间的关系。

必修2 Unit 5 Music李仕才一、阅读理解You’re in your office when you learn there’s someone with a gun wandering outside. You can hear gunshots and screams. What do you do?That’s the challenge for users of a new virtual (虚拟)reality program called SurviVR, designed to train employees how to deal with an active shooter situation in the workplace. The program works with HTC Vive, the virtual reality headset released earlier this year.An active shooter situation is when an armed person or people actively shoot in a small, populated area with the intention to kill. There were 20 such situations in the United States last year and 20 the year before, according to FBI statistics, resulting in a total of 231 deaths. This year saw the deadliest active shooter situation in US history, with 49 people killed in a nightclub in Orlando.In the training situation, users have four choices. They can lock themselves in the office. They can hide, perhaps in the office closet. They can run for an exit. Or they can use something in the office—a computer or a cup a pair of scissors-as a weapon to fight the shooter. This is an improvement on standard active shooter training. Gallo says, which typically teachers people to lock themselves in place and hide. The ＂lock down＂ method is often ineffective, he says, and has resulted in many deaths in recent years.In the training’s basic level, no one gets killed. But as the trainings become more advanced, players who make a wrong choice be shot. There’s no blood; the screen simply turns black slowly.If this sounds terrifying, that’s the point, says Gallo. There are plenty of training programs to teach employees how to deal with workplace violence, sometimes involving role play with toy guns. But these trainings are basically games. Gallo says, with employees relaxed and even enjoying themselves. To teach people what they really need to know for an active shooter situation, they need to be scared.＂SurviVR will take the fear and turn it into confidence.＂ Gallo says.1. What’s the author’s purpose of describing a dangerous scene in Para. 1?A. To attract the readers’ attention on the new virtual reality program.B. To show the challenge that the readers are required to face.C. To warn the readers of the possible dangers in the working place.D. To inform the readers of the correct response in such a situation2. What is the suggested response in the standard active shooter training?A. Fighting the shooterB. Running for the exitC. Using a computer as a weaponD. Locking down3. What does Gallo think of the training programs involving role play with toy guns?A. SearingB. ViolentC. IneffectiveD. Helpful4. What would be the best title?A. A New Virtual Reality Program on Active Shooter TrainingB. What Should You Do When Meeting Gunshots in the Workplace?C. How to Deal with an Active Shooter Situation?D. Employees Need to Be Scared of the Workplace Violence.【语篇解读】文章介绍一种新的主动射击训练虚拟现实程序，教人们遇到办公室暴力犯罪的时候如何应对。

Unit 5 Music一、阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

For over a century，the Nashua River in Massachusetts provided power for mills(工厂)，which gave jobs to thousands of people.Over the years，these paper，cotton，wood，and woolen mills had dumped their waste into its waters.By the 1960s，the Nashua River was about as polluted as any river could get.Its waters ran red or green or blue with dye (染料)from paper mills situated on its banks.The fumes(烟)from this dye blackened paint on the buildings near the river.Then along came Marion Stoddart with a simple but overwhelming idea—clean up the Nashua.This was no one­woman campaign.Stoddart encouraged the paper mills and the business community to form partnerships to reclaim the river.She carried jars of dirty river water to local officials to demonstrate the seriousness of the problem.Stoddart talked with business leaders about economic problems.She talked with environmentalists about the long­term problems of pollution.Stoddart knew that the State Water Pollution Control Board would have the final say on forcing the clean­up.When she spoke to the board，she insisted that the Nashua should be made safe for swimming.They thought her goals were unrealistic.However，the partnerships Stoddart had helped form and the volunteers who were drawn to her cause never gave up.They all realized that cleaning up the river was in everyone's best interests.By 1993，several water treatment plants had been built，and a conservation area called a“greenway”had been created along the banks o f the river.Today mills are still operating along the river，but there are also fish in the river.The Nashua River welcomes boaters，naturalists，and even swimmers.None of this would have been possible without a woman of vision and a community working together.1．What does the underlined word“reclaim” refer to?A．Rescue. B．Enlarge.C．Monitor. D．Explore.2．What's the board's attitude to Stoddart's goal of improving the river?A．Supportive. B．Doubtful.C．Neutral. D．Cautious.3．What kind of person is Marion Stoddart?A．Independent and broad­minded.B．Determined and far­sighted.C．Intelligent and creative.D．Stubborn and proud.4．What message is conveyed through the no one­woman campaign?A．It'll be all right on the night.B．Prevention is better than cure.C．Many hands make light work.D．Failure is the mother of success.【解题导语】本文讲的是Marion Stoddart如何联合个体、团体和政府部门共同治理河水污染。

必修2 Unit 5 Music李仕才一、阅读理解When I was in the sixth grade, I became a big K-pop (Korean pop) fan. Almost half the students at my middle school were Korean and almost all of them listened to Korean music, especially K-pop. I had never been interested in it. It sounded too strange to me, but all changed in the sixth grade when the huge hit Gee came out. All my friends were singing the chorus and imitating the dance. Gee fever sucked me into K-pop. It became my life. I listened to K-pop non-stop and filled my iPod with it. In a month, I had memorized the names of countless members of boy and girl bands and stuck pictures of my singer ＂boyfriends＂ on my walls. I would ditch my weekend art and math classes and go to concerts with my friends. This would always result in my mom shouting that I was wasting my life. My mom thought K-pop was trash and wanted me to like classical music as she did. But classical music made me sleepy.Every day during middle school I went to a K-pop gossip and news site called . On this site I learned that I could audition(试音) to become a singer in a K-pop band. The shining clothes, thousands of screaming fans and hearing them chant my name seemed much more exciting than being a middle school student. Becoming a K-pop star was all I wanted.I started watching the audition videos of current stars and reading blog posts from people who had auditioned. They explained much about the audition. This made me want to audition even more. After watching those videos, I saw that most of the current stars weren’t that amazing in their auditions and that each singer had improved so much through training. I had never had vocal lessons(声乐课) and didn’t think of myself as a good singer. ＂But if they could do it, I could do that too,＂ I thought.1.What caused the author to fall in love with K-pop?A. Her Korean origin.B.A new style of dance.C. Her friends’ influence.D.

She has no interest in music.B. She has a low opinion of K-pop.C. She doesn’t care about her daughter.D. She prefers K-pop to classical music.4.After visiting , the author ________.A. dreamed of becoming a pop singerB. called the manager of the news siteC. contacted people who had auditionedD. knew she would never become a singer【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

In the past, sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios, but many of today's sound professionals are sharing their knowledge and experience with professionals in other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound.Sound can be used as a weapon. Imagine that a police officer is chasing a thief. The thief tries to escape. And the officer can't let him get away. He pulls out a special device, points it at the suspect, and switches it on. The thief drops to the ground. This new weapon is called a Long Range Acoustic Device(LRAD, 远程定向声波发射器). It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person. The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and travels only into the ears of that person, but it is not deadly.For those who hunger for some peace and quiet, sound can now create silence. Let's say you are at the airport, and the little boy on the seat next to you is humming(哼唱) a short commercial song. He hums it over and over again, and you are about to go crazy. Thanks to the Silence Machine, a British invention, you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents. One may wonder how the Silence Machine works. Well, it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing waves. The two sets of waves cancel each other out. Simply turn the machine on, point it at the target, and your peace and quiet comes back.Directed sound is a new technology that allows companies to use sound in much the same way spotlights(聚光灯) are used in the theater. A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage; similarly, a “spotsound” creates a circle of sound in one targeted area. This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers. Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choices on the menu, allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining. Directed sound is also beginning to appear in shopping centers and even at homes.词汇积累1.definitely adv.肯定2.professional n.专家;专业人士3.phenomenon n.现象4.suspect n.嫌疑犯5.temporarily adv.暂时6.target n.目标v.面向,把……对准4.What could be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the effect of the LRAD?A.It causes temporary hearing loss.B.It slows down a running man.C.It makes it easy to identify a suspect.D.It keeps the suspect from hurting others.5.The Silence Machine is a device specially designed to .A.silence the people around youB.remove the sound of commercialsC.block the incoming sound wavesD.stop unwanted sound from affecting you6.What feature do spotsounds and spotlights share?A.They travel in circles.B.They clear the atmosphere.C.They can be transformed into energy.D.They can be directed onto a specific area.7.Directed sound can be used for .A.creative designs of restaurant menusB.ideal sound effects on the theater stageC.different choices of music for businessesD.strict control over any suspicious customer8.What does the passage focus on?A.How professionals invented sound products.B.Inventions in the field of sound technology.C.The growing interest in the study of sound.D.How sound engineers work in their studios.Ⅱ.七选五(2019浙江,)Rock music consists of many different styles. Even though there is a common spirit among all music groups, they make very different music. 31 At that time the Beatles entered the world of music from Liverpool.After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC, the Beatles quickly became famous in Britain with nationwide tours. By mid-1963, the Beatles had been extremely popular in England. 32 They held large concerts and performed at clubs. They became the hottest thing on the pop music scene in England. They began as a modestly successful musician group and ended the year as show business legends(传说). John Lennon and Paul McCartney were named composers of the year.33 They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music. Beatlemania hit New York on February 7, 1964. Hundreds of fans jammed the airport to greet them. 34 The concert was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night audience in the history of television up to that time. The Beatles were described as a British invasion(入侵) by local and nationwide newspapers at that time. Their victory in America was still remembered as a major turning point in the history of rock and roll. Thanks to the Beatles, a lot of opportunities were opened up to new faces on the market. 35A.They decided on a tour to the United States in 1964.B.Even their hairstyles became major trends at that time.C.Rock music developed in the 1950s and the early 1960s.D.However, their songs changed the lives of generations to come.E.Many rock bands were able to follow in the footsteps of the Beatles.F.They appeared in the films A Hard Day's Night (1964) and Help!

(2018·湖南长郡中学模拟)It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becominghorrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense.It takes the mostcool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way toward reducing the possibility of quarreling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions.But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough.Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship(公路驾车技能)．Years ago，experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take(互谅互让) from all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.【解题导语】随着车辆的增多，很多司机都有可怕的路怒症，甚至不知道什么是文明交通。

If you want to slow aging,you might want to eat less.This finding is good news---if you were a mouse. The researchers studied mice, not people.John Price and other researchers studied two groups of mice. One group was ableto eat as much as it wanted.The researchers limited what the mice in the other group ate. Their diet had 35 percent fewer calories than the first group of mice.Price says the mice with the diet restrictions were “more energetic and suffered fewer disease.” They wer e not just living longer but seemed to stay younger for alonger period of time.The researchers found that fewer calories slow down a natural mechanism in cells called ribosomes.Price explains that ribosomes are responsible for making important proteins in the cells. But with fewer calories, they slow down. This gives the cellsmore time to repair themselves.The researchers say ribosomes use from 10 to 20 percent of the cell’s energy to make those proteins.Price wrote that“because of this,it is imprac tical to destroy an entire ribosome” when it starts to break down. However,“repairing individualparts of the ribosome on a regular basis enables ribosomes to continue producing high quality proteins for longer than they would otherwise. This top quality production,in turn, keeps cells and the entire body functioning well.”Price said,“ribosome is a very complex machine,like a car. ” They need “maintenance to replace the parts that wear out the fastest. When tires wear out,” he explained,“you don ’t thro w the whole car away and buy a new one.It costs less to replace theold tires.”“Food, ”he said,“isn ’t just material to be burned ---it’s a signal that tells our body and cells how to respond.”Price said the findings help to explain how exactly our bodie s age. And this may “help us make more educated decisions about what we eat.”1.What can we know about the mice with limited calories from the study?A. They can keep healthy easilyB. They need more energy to be activeC. They can look younger than they areD. They will live a longer life like humans2.What will happen to ribosomes if there are fewer calories?A. They will completely break downB. They make proteins in the cells slowlyC. They will produce high quality proteins moreD. They may need more time to repair themselves3.Price explained the ribosomes’ role of repairing themselves by _________.A. telling a storyB. listing basic dataC. making comparisonsD. experimenting on mice4.What does the text mainly deal with?A. Food decides how long you liveB. Can you slow down your aging process?C. Eating less may help you live longerD. Should your diet be reduced for your health?【文章粗心】本文是一篇说明文。

Unit 5 Music李仕才一、阅读理解Thanks to the Internet and technology, the world has become one big market, and you can sit in the comforts of your home and shop for anything you want. You no longer have to drive to the actual shops and fish out what you want. Simply filter (筛选) your search, sitting on your sofa, select the desired product, and make the required payment. The shipment will reach your doorstep.However, everything comes at a price; so does online shopping. It's subject to more threats, especially when you make online shopping mistakes. For example, you may be an impulsive (冲动的) buyer and buy something without reading all the details of the product properly. If you don't read the product description carefully, there are high chances that the item you receive might not match what you expect.The biggest hurdle in online shopping is that you cannot inspect your product beforehand. Therefore, take a cue from the experiences of other consumers from the online posts. Additionally, you may make mistakes like giving an incorrect address, typing incorrect quantity details. Such mistakes can make you end up getting a delayed delivery.Not following safety tips while shopping is also a common mistake you may commit. For instance, you may not take into account other charges, or use a public Wi­Fi to make a purchase, which may give away your card details. So ensure online safety while making a purchase online.Luckily, if some mistake has occurred, you can make an attempt to repair it. For example, you can contact the customer service and register your complaint. It's better to have a written record by also sending an email to the company. It's advisable to have your purchase transaction well documented, so that you can provide legal evidence to the company.1.If you don't read the product descriptions thoroughly, you'll probably ________.A.forget to follow safety tipsB.be addicted to online shopping easilyC.receive an item you don't wantD.make a purchase as you expect2.What can prevent the product reaching you in time?A.Not reading its consumer reviews.B.Not posting letter to the company in advance.C.Not taking other charges into consideration.D.Not checking information before placing an order.3.Your card information may be stolen if you do online shopping ________.A.with a public Wi-FiB.on a private websiteC.in your friend's storeD.in a trustworthy company4.What should we do when online shopping goes wrong?A.Make a list of your requirements.B.Report the online shop to the government.C.Send the purchase information to the police.D.Get your complaint registered at the customer service.参考答案：1.C; 2.D; 3.A; 4.D解析：1.[细节题。

Unit 5 Music李仕才【阅读理解插花】Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is aChinese-style spelling bee(拼写大赛). In this challenge, youngcompetitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for thecompetition, the competitors usually spend months studyingdictionaries.Perhaps the show’s popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It’s possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using hand writing, why bother to teach it now? ” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture, ” she answers. “Students must learn now so they don’t forget when they grow up. ” says the teacher.【文章大意】本文介绍了由于许多中国人忘记了许多汉字的写法而进行的补救措施——让学生参加汉字拼写大会、教小学生书法。

Unit 5 Music李仕才一、阅读理解Joseph Goldberger was a doctor for the United States Public Health Service andhe was an advocate for scientific and social recognition of the links between poverty and disease.In1914，Goldberger was asked by US Surgeon General Rupert Blue to study a skin disease that was killing thousands of people in the South.The disease waspellagra(糙皮病)．Goldberger traveled to the state of Mississippi where many people suffered frompellagra.He studied the victims and their families.Most of the people lived a hardlife.The doctor came to believe that the disease didn't pass on from one to another，but was instead related to food.He received permission from the state governor to test this idea at a prison.Prisoners were offered pardons if they took part.One group ofprisoners received their usual foods， mostly corn products.A second group ate meat，fresh vegetables and drank milk.Members of the first group developed pellagra.Thesecond group did not.But some medical researchers refused to accept Goldberger's idea.For the South，pellagra was more than simply a medical problem.There were other things， including Southern pride.So Goldberger had himself injected(注射 )with blood from a person with pellagra.He also took liquid from the nose and throat of a pellagra patient and put them into his own nose and throat.He even swallowed pills that contained skin from pellagrapatients.An assistant also took part in the experiments.So did Goldberger's wife.None of them got sick.Joseph Goldberger died of cancer in1929.He was fifty-five years old.Several years later， researchers discovered the exact cause of pellagra： a lack of vitamin B3 known as niacin.1． Who were easy targets of pellagra according to Goldberger?A． People in America.B． People put into prison.C． People having a poor diet.D． People touching pellagra patients.2． What did Goldberger want to prove by the experiments mentioned in Paragraph4?A． Pellagra wasn't so terrible.B． Pellagra didn't spread.C． Pellagra could be cured.D． Pellagra wasn't a medical problem.3． Which words can be used to describe Goldberger?A． Devoted and determined.B． Selfless and friendly.C． Patient and expert.D． Stubborn and enthusiastic.【解题导语】本文是一篇记述文。

For over a century，the Nashua River in Massachusetts provided power for mills(工厂)，which gave jobs to thousands of people.Over the years，these paper，cotton，wood，and woolen mills had dumped their waste into its waters.By the 1960s，the Nashua River was about as polluted as any river could get.Its waters ran red or green or blue with dye (染料)from paper mills situated on its banks.The fumes(烟)from this dye blackened paint on the buildings near the river.Then along came Marion Stoddart with a simple but overwhelming idea—clean up the Nashua.This was no one­woman campaign.Stoddart encouraged the paper mills and the business community to form partnerships to reclaim the river.She carried jars of dirty river water to local officials to demonstrate the seriousness of the problem.Stoddart talked with business leaders about economic problems.She talked with environmentalists about the long­term problems of pollution.Stoddart knew that the State Water Pollution Control Board would have the final say on forcing the clean­up.When she spoke to the boar d，she insisted that the Nashua should be made safe for swimming.They thought her goals were unrealistic.However，the partnerships Stoddart had helped form and the volunteers who were drawn to her cause never gave up.They all realized that cleaning up the river was in everyone's best interests.By 1993，several water treatment plants had been built，and a conservation area called a“greenway”had been created along the banks of the river.Today mills are still operating along the river，but there are also fish in the river.The Nashua River welcomes boaters，naturalists，and even swimmers.None of this would have been possible without a woman of vision and a community working together.1．What does the underlined word“reclaim” refer to?A．Rescue.
