课时作业(十三) Unit 5 Section ⅠWarming up & Reading Ⅰ.阅读理解AAustinAustin is home to the fastest growing pre­senior (aged 55－64) population. Many retirees take classes through the Continuing Education Program, and the university system is a primary reason why people decide to relocate. It is the engine that drives the cultural offerings of the community including museums, galleries and open air markets and multiple performing art theaters. Austin is not only energetic but inexpensive. It has a low cost of living, and its cost of housing is 15 percent below the national average. For retirees looking for a quiet and cool place to settle down, Austin may not be your ideal. The summers are hot and humid, and with a population of more than 650,000, the city is fairly large and fast­paced.AtlantaAtlanta has been attracting many retirees looking for an international city since the 1996 Olympics. One of the major selling points for the city is price. Atlantic and its suburbs offer a wide variety of communities and pricing options. It also has a fairly low cost of living. The disadvantage of the city besides its summer heat and humidity is its growth. Its population increases, and so does the amount of traffic and crime.MilwaukeeThe winters may be freezing, but retirees who call Milwaukee their home say that they like the freezing winters. They talk about many ethnic neighborhoods, including German, Polish and Italian, and dozens of festivals that take place throughout the year. The city of Milwaukee has worked to maintain its appeal by building a river­walk system and by trying to make the city pedestrian­friendly. The city also operates five fitness centers where the retirees can work out for free. For many retirees,Milwaukee is a cost­effective alternative to Chicago.Santa FeSanta Fe is a cultural destination at the perfect altitude. It is known for its art and at 7,000 feet its climate is fairly moderate all year round. It is also home to more than 300 art galleries and more than a dozen museums. With a population of little over 70,000, Santa Fe has become a popular retirement destination and its popularity has caused housing prices to be relatively high.1．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the first paragraph?A．Austin is home to the fastest growing pre­senior population.B．Austin is not only energetic but inexpensive.C．Austin is ideal for retirees looking for a quiet and cool place to settle down.D．The summers of Austin are hot and humid.2．Which retirement spot has the most pleasant climate?A．Austin B．Atlanta.C．Milwaukee. D．Santa Fe.3．If you are fond of art, you are advised to settle in ________.A．Austin and Santa FeB．Austin and AtlantaC．Atlanta and MilwaukeeD．Milwaukee and Santa FeBIn the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances (气旋) hundreds—even thousands － of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. Whenconditions are just right, warm, moist (潮湿的) air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat is switched to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to turn around in a counter­clockwise motion (逆时针方向)．The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released (释放) by a hurricane's rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months.Water, rather than wind, is the main source of death and destroying in a hurricane.A typical hurricane brings 6­to­12­inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea—the mountains of water moving towards the low­pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves towards shore.4．An ordinary tropical storm is called a hurricane when ________.A．it occurs in the Caribbean seasB．its winds reach 75 miles per hourC．it makes its way to the coastlineD．its winds begin to circle on the sea5．The counter­clockwise movement of the hurricane is caused by ________.A．the low­pressure area in the center of the stormB．the force of waves of waterC．the increasing heatD．the trade winds6．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A．The hurricane is extraordinarily powerful.B．The hurricane is used to generate electricity.C．The hurricane can otherwise offer an unusual sightD．The hurricane can give people an unforgettable experience.7．What is the worst thing about a hurricane?A．The rough water. B．The violent winds.C．The heat it gives out. D．The length of its life.Ⅱ.阅读七选五How to pick a great book to readThe world is full of great books, just waiting to be read.

The flight attendant came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf，〞she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the flight attendants couldn't understand what he needed, according to PEOPLE magazine.Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help with her dyslexia and knew she'd be able to spell on the man's palm by finger. So she unbuckled her seat belt, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt by the aisle seat of Tim Cook, then 64. Gently taking his hand, she signed, “How are you? Are you OK？〞 Cook asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while.“He didn't need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk，〞 Clara said. So for the next hour, that was what they did. She talked about her family and her plans for the future (she wants to be a politician). Cook told Clara how he had gradually become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn't see her, she “looked atten tively at his face with such kindness〞，a passenger reported.“Clara was amazing，〞 a flight attendant told Alaska Airlines in a blog interview. “You could tell Cook was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such a warm­hearted girl.〞Cook's reaction: “Best trip I've ever had.〞Looking for ways to offer help？Start with this random act of kindness that can change someone's life right now.4．The flight attendant asked an urgent question because________.A．the passenger was traveling aloneB．the plane was in a dangerous situationC．the passenger asked for something urgentlyD．none of the flight attendants could communicate with the passenger5．Why did Clara talk about her plans for the future?A．Because the flight attendant asked her to do so.B．Because she needed topics to go on talking with Cook.C．Because Cook expected to understand teenagers better.D．Because she wanted to show her ambition for the future.6．Which of the following words can best describe Clara?A．Kind and caring.B．Warm­hearted and cautious.C．Generous and amazing.D．Ambitious and attentive.7．The passage is mainly written to________.A．tell a touching story of an amazing girlB．appeal to readers to lend a hand kindly and randomlyC．stress the great importance of American Sign LanguageD．show how considerate the flight attendant was to help CookⅡ.完形填空Dropping into desperation completely, Jack wandered on the street, knowing he came to the end of life.

Unit 5 The power of nature课时跟踪练（一）Warming Up &Reading-Pre readingⅠ.阅读理解AThe US government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake belts. The government is spending a great deal of money and is working hard to help to discover the answers to these twoquestions：Can we predict earthquakes?Can we control earthquakes?To answer the first question, scientists are lookingvery closely at the most active fault (断层) systems in the country, such as the San Andreas fault in California. A fault is a break between two sections of the earth's surface. These breaks between sections are the places where earthquakes occur. Scientists look at the faults for changes which might show that an earthquake was about to occur. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes correctly. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.However, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4,000 metres below the surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection (注射) of water, there was a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into the rocks worked like oil on each other.When the water “oiled” the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was given out. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between the injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that it might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big, dangerous earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.语篇解读：为了提高人们对地震的防范意识，美国政府加大了在防震、预测方面的投入，他们甚至在努力采取措施控制地震的发生。

闪堕市安歇阳光实验学校Unit 5 The power of natureⅠ.阅读理解[2017·广东高三适应性测试]From my earlier memory of Mother，it somehow seemed quite natural to think of her as different，not of everyday things as Father was.In those days he was a young－looking man.He did not hesitate to make friends with children as soon as they were able to talk to him and laugh at his stories.Mother was older than he was.She must have been a woman of nearly forty，but she seemed even older.She changed little for a long time，showing no indication of growing old at all until，towards the end of her life，she suddenly became an old lady.I was always inquisitive about Mother's age.She never had birthdays like other people，nor did anyone else in our family.No candles were ever lit or cakes made or presents given in our house.To my friends in the street who talked delightfully about their birthday parties，I would repeat my Mother's words that such celebrations were only foolish.“Nothing but deception，” she would say.“As though life can be marked by birthdays.It's deeds，not years，that matter.”Although I often repeated her words and even prided myself on not having birthdays，I once could not help asking Mother when she was born.“I was born.I'm alive as you can see，so what more do you want to know？” she repl ied，so sharply that I never asked her about her age again.In so many other ways Mother was different.Whereas all the rest of the women I knew in the neighboring houses took pride in their housewifely abilities，their new furniture，the neat appearance of their homes，Mother regarded all those things as of little importance.Our house always looked as if we had just moved in or were about to move out.1．How did Father impress the author?A．He liked writing stories.B．He loved making friends.C．He was a very young man.D．He was popular with children.2．Before the end of her life，Mother__________.A．looked quite youngB．looked like an old ladyC．looked younger than she wasD．looked like a forty－year－old woman3．What does the word “inquisitive” in Paragraph 2 proba bly mean?A．Certain.
