UNIT 2 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解ASingapore is a citystate in Southeast Asia.Thanks to a program, we got a chance to explore the Garden City for one day.First, we headed to the Gardens by the bay.We were attracted by the Supertrees at once.They are highrise gardens, which produce electricity using energy from the sun, collect rainwater, and more.From there, we headed to the Cloud Forest, which I found most amazing in this Garden City.In hot and wet Singapore, this is a great place to cool off. Inside, a large waterfall comes down the side of the “cloud mountain”．This intricate structure (错综复杂的建筑)is divided into three levels and contains plants from different places.Visitors are free to walk around and learn more about all of the plants.Our journey then led us to a theater inside the Cloud Forest where we watched a tenminute film.I was totally taken aback by what I saw.I had never realized that our planet would change so greatly when the temperature increased by just five degrees.Then we headed back outside and continued on our walk.Between two of the larger Supertrees, you'll find the Skyway.Visitors can head to the top to enjoy a fantastic bird's eye view of the city.Next, we made our way to the Singapore River, where we saw a boat going by.In search of food, we headed into the Marina Bay Sands.It has what has to be the best food court I've ever eaten in, with delicious food from all over the world.We ordered different kinds of dishes, which were all tasty.Needing to walk off that huge lunch, we walked from one side of the river to the other.On the other side,we found Merlion,the symbol of Singapore.Water flows out of the mouth of this amazing creation all day long.While walking along the riverside and enjoying the beautiful view，I couldn't help but wish we had more time to explore this Garden City.语篇解读：本文是记叙文。

After the initial interviews, she felt the job fit herexcept for the location. Still, she flew west to meet the hiring manager. Thehiring manager explained that Isabel was the top candidate for the job butthat, before she continued with the process, she should better understand the firm’s culture. She directed Isabel to several videos of the company’s CEO, who regularly appeared in front of the company in costume as part of morale-building exercises and expected his senior leaders to do the same.“Even though I was desperate for a job, I knew I couldn’t do that，”Isabel says. She called the company to turn down the job and explained that she didn’t feel there was a cultural fit.A few months later, she had an interview for another job：a director of employee relations at a local university. After several interviews, the hiring manager told her the job was hers if she wanted it. The job had many positives：it provided a low-stress environment, it offered great benefits, and the university was an employee­friendly place. But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldn’t be challenging enough. Finally, she turned it down.“It would be great to have a paycheck and great benefits but I would definitely have trouble sleeping at night，”she says.In both cases, she was frank with the hiring managers about why she wasn’t taking the jobs.“In the past, it felt like dating, and I was worried about hurting people’s feelings，”she says. However, they appreciated her frankness and thanked her for her honesty. She says it was hard to turn down the jobs and it was a risk for her financially but she felt she had to.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Isabel拒绝两份工作的经历和感想.1．Which factor made Isabel turn down the first job finally?A．The company’s location.B．The initial interviews.C．The firm’s culture.D．The hiring manager.C解析：细节理解题.根据第一段最后一句可知，Isabel认为这种企业文化不适合自己，所以拒绝了这份工作，故C项正确.2．What does the underlined word “junior”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Challenging.B．Easy.C．Beneficial.

According to its advertisement, potential customers just need to book a lunch reservation, then complete a six－minute workout consisting of intervals on the rowing machine and spin bike. After exercising, people can order one of four tasty, healthy options on the café’s menu for free.The gym chain explained that the motivation behind the activity is to get sedentary(久坐不动的) office workers away from their desks during the workday. “According to our research British office workers spend almost 90 percent of the working day sitting, being inactive and eating lunch at their desks—a problem worsened by the huge popularity and convenience of food and shopping delivery apps，”Elaine Denton, a health and fitness expert from David Lloyd Clubs, said in a statement. “We want to remind workers of the importance of being active at work and moving around more.”She added, “Importantly, the caféisn’t in any way about encouraging people to ‘cancel out’calories through exercise. Indeed, the micro workout at Run for Your Bun Caféonly represents a part of the calories contained in any of the lunch foods.”Though the deal is only open to Londoners from Jan. 11 to Jan. 13, the model is one that is likely to inspire lots of copycats(模仿者) around the globe.

He was also the only man who applied for the job, but Margery Bowman, head teacher of Toddler World, insisted that he was by far the best applicant. “Both boys and girls will benefit from the experience of having a male role in the nursery,”said Margery.Jonathan has always been interested in childcare. His own mother is a childminder and his father is a teacher. “I’ve always helped Mum look after all the children,” he says. “I’m used to changing nappies, feeding babies, reading stories and playing with Lego.”But Jonathan is a rare male in a female world. Only 2% of nursery teachers are men and this hasn’t changed for ten years. Roger Olsen of the National Nursery Trust said, “Men are often viewed with anxiety and suspicion in a children’s environment. Or they are expected to do things the way women do them. But men bring different things into childcare and this has to be recognized.” Jonathan agrees.

Today，most large public schools and community colleges have ESL（English as a Second Language） programs：American English teachers feel that English students should learn the language the way they will use it.Therefore，ESL programs offer different English lessons to different students.Some programs teach students to communicate in English in public.Other programs teach the kind of English people will need for their jobs.American ESL instructional methods do not lay emphasis on grammar or translation，but on the importance of communication.The goal is to get the English learners to learn by using the language.1.People in the United States .A.are all native speakers of EnglishB.speak English in various waysC.all speak American EnglishD.are immigrants from English-speaking countries2.In the past the non-English immigrants .A.didn’t know how to learn EnglishB.found that English was not importantC.learned English through booksD.paid special attention to teaching English3. is the most widely used language except English in the U.S.A.ESLB.FrenchC.SpanishD.Chinese4.The phrase “pick up” in the second paragraph means “”.A.try to masterB.repeat again and againC.go to school sometimesD.learn without studying or taking lessons5.ESL programs teach the students .A.only grammatical rules and idiomsB.to use English through practiceC.different languagesD.to learn English by translating their own native languages into English【语篇解读】本文是说明文。
