——————————教育资源共享步入知识海洋————————Unit 3 A healthy life李仕才一、阅读理解After a year of examining studies concerning whether homework is effective, NYC P.S. 116 elementary school decided that math worksheets and essay assignments were actually a waste of time. In February, Principal Jane Hsu sent a letter to parents stating that the Pre-K through fifth grade students would not be given any traditional homework to encourage kids to have free time for reading, playing outside, or doing activities they enjoy."The negative effects of homework have been well established," Hsu wrote in a note to parents. "They include: children’s frustration and exhaustion, lack of time for other activities and family time and, sadly for many, loss of interest in learning."Some parents, however, disagree with the policy change, believing that a lack of focus will cause children to fall behind. Homework has been part of education from the beginning, and has increased in volume in recent years.Hsu’s advice that children should r ead and spend time with their families has upset some parents to the point of considering pulling their children out of P.S. 116. This group feels that homework assignments give children a goal to work toward. Others feel so strongly about the importance of homework that they have begun giving their own homework assignments to their children.An Australian Childhood Foundation survey found that 71% of Australian parents feel they do not spend enough quality time with their children mainly because of the time spent running the household or the time spent helping with homework. Education experts in Australia are saying that parents should stop helping. Doing so will give kids more independence, will give parents more free time, and will help reduce the number of homework-induced arguments in the family.While some research suggests that homework has little academic benefit for elementary students, other research shows homework can help kids develop independence, and confidence. It can also contribute to a sense of belonging or control over theirlives. When parents try to help their children with homework, the assistance can take away that feeling and can also drain already exhausted working parents.1.Cancelling traditional homework is aimed at __________.A. allowing students to learn on their ownB. inspiring students to spend more time with parentsC. wishing students to seek self-developmentD. motivating students to help with housework2.What can be concluded from the 1st and 2nd paragraph?A. Jane Hsu is the first principal to cancel homework.B. Jane Hsu has done thorough research on homework.C. Jane Hsu paid little attention to students’ academic records.D. Jane Hsu knows students prefer activities to their subjects.3.Why are some parents strongly against Principal Jane Hsu?A. They have no time to give their children homework.B. They don’t think the school is responsible for their kids.C. They are afraid their kids will fall behind.D. They dislike their kids doing too many activities.4.What is the author’s attitude to parents’ helping kids with homework?A. Supportive.B. Indifferent.C. Ironic.D. Negative.【文章大意】这是一篇议论文，文章对是否应该给小学生布置家庭作业进行了论述。

late to get the benefits of quitting.If you’ve tried to quit before and failed，it’s time to make up your mind and try again.Smoking is responsible for one of every five deaths.That includes 29% of all cancer deaths,87% of all lung cancer deaths，and nearly 20% of all deaths are from cardiovascular disease.But long before smoking kills you，it ages you.You can see that smoking accelerates the drying and wrinkling of the skin.But there are fewer obvious effects as well.Indeed，smoking takes years away from your life.Nearly half of all chronic smokers die an average of 20 to 25 years before their time.Besides an early death from cancer or heart disease，smoking can cause lung disorders.People who smoke over a pack a day have almost three times the risk of contracting pneumonia (肺炎) than that of non­smokers.By lowering levels of estrogen (雌性激素) in men and women，smoking speedsbone less.If a woman smokes a pack of cigarettes every day，she will enter menopause (更年期) with 5% to 10% less bone mass than a non­smoker.The good news is that no matter what your age is or how long you’ve smoked，you’ll live longer if you quit t oday.The Coronary Artery Surgery Study examined nearly 2,000 long­term smokers over the age of54.Those who quit had significantly lower death rates six years later than those who didn’t.Even the oldest ex­smokers had a higher survival rate.Not only will you live longer if you quit，but you’ll feel better，breathe easier，and find that you have more energy.You’ll have fewer respiratory infections，headaches，and stomachaches.What’s more，you’ll save money.Your clothes and breath won’t smell unpleasant an y longer.And your habit won’t annoy，or threaten the health of the people who live and work with you.1．What is the passage mainly about?A．The ways of quitting smoking.B．The harm of smoking to people.C．The benefits of quitting smoking.D．The relationships between smoking and diseases.2．According to the passage，the percentage of deaths due to smoking is________.A．20% B．25%C．29% D．87%3．All of the following methods are used in the passageEXCEPT________.A．giving examplesB．mentioning famous sayingsC．comparingD．listing numbers4．What do we know from the Coronary Artery Surgery Study?A．It examined about 2,000 smokers who all quit smoking finally.B．Quitting smoking is easier said than done.C．Long­term smokers who quit smoking can liv e longer.D．Quitting smoking has a bad effect on people’s health.课时作业(二十八)Ⅰ.单词拼写1．abused 2.desperate 3.ashamed 4.pressure 5.resigned6．risk 7.tough 8.strengthenⅡ.情景对话1．F 2.B 3.E 4.G

A healthy life李仕才一、阅读理解Oxford English Dictionary(OED)editors recently noted that the three­letter word “run” has indeed become the single word with the most meanings with about 645 different usage cases for the verb form alone，making it the most complicated word in the English language.The various definitions of “run” featured in the OED's upcoming third edition begin with the obvious “to go with quick steps”，then continue to run on for 75 columns of type.How could three little letters be responsible for so much meaning？Context is everything.Think about it：When you run a fever，for example，those three letters have a very different meaning than when you run a bath to treat it，or when your bathwater runs over and wets your cotton bath runner，forcing you to run out to the store and buy a new one.And when you ran over a nail in the parking lot and now your car won't even run properly...God—you'd do things differently if you ran the world.When the OED's first edition came out in 1928，the longest entry belonged to another three­letter word：“set”．Even today，the print edition of the OED contains some 200 meanings，beginning with“put，lay，or stand” and continuing on for about 32 pages.So what happened? British author Simon Winchester believes “a feature of our more energetic times” made word like “set” seem more passive by comparison.“Run” appears to have earned some major lift during the Industrial Revolution.“Machines run, clocks run, computers run—all of those meanings began in the middle of the 19th century，” Wi nchester says.So，ready to run through the whole list of definitions？Ah，to read all 645 meanings you'll have to wait for the next edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.1．Which phrase has the first meaning of “run” in the upcoming third edition of OED?A．To run a fever.B．To run out to the store.C．To run a bath.D．To run a machine.2．What does the writer intend to tell us in Paragraph 3?A．Various meanings of the word “run”．B．How to use “run” in specific cases.C．How to learn about the word “run”．D．Different ways to run the world.3．What can we learn from the text?A．“Run” is the most difficult word.B．The meaning of “set” continues on for 75 columns of type.C．“Run” had the most meanings in 1928.D．“Run” has 645 meanings for the verb form in the third edition of OED.4．What made “run” become the word with the most meanings according to Winchester?A．Oxford English Dictionary.B．The various definitions.C．Usage cases of the word “set”．D．The Industrial Revolution.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

A tender briefing will be held in Kuala Lumpur on Jan 23, and proposals need to be submitted by June 29. Submissions will be evaluated based on technical merit(优点), commercial robustness,_financial sustainability and price. The preferred bidder will be selected by the end of next year. The governments of both countries signed a bilateral(双边的)agreement late in 2016 to begin the project. According to the agreement, the high­speed rail link is expected to become operational by Dec 31, 2026, and will cut travel time between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to just 90 minutes.“The move indicates that China's State­owned enterprises have stopped cruel competition to hurt each other，” said Du Chunbu, a professor of rail transportation at Beijing Jiaotong University. “Instead, they have started to form a consortium to better compete with companies from Japan, South Korea, Germany and Canada by bringing their specialties into play.”本文属于新闻，主要讲述由中国铁路公司等八家公司组成的同盟将竞标马来西亚到新加坡的高铁项目，这也标志着中国公司不再是内部厮杀，开始走出国门向世界输出自己的技术。

As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby's point of view.Mothers, doctors and nurses alike have no idea of where a baby's blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four­hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock­watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I've never heard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldn't follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.Well, at last we have copper­bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ (智商) scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample (样本) of 10，419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a child's sex and age, the mother's health and feeding style. These results don't surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.16. According to Paragraph 2, one reason why a baby cries is that it feels ________．A．sick B．upset C．sleepy D．hungry17. What does the author think about Dr King?A．He is strict.B．He is unkind.C．He has the wrong idea.D．He sets a timetable for mothers.18. The word copper­bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to________．A．basic B．reliable C．surprising D．interesting19. What does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand?A．The baby will sleep well.B．The baby will have its brain harmed.C．The baby will have a low blood sugar level.D．The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.20. The author supports feeding the baby ________．A．in the nightB．every four hoursC．whenever it wants foodD．according to its blood sugar levelBIf you're a male and you're reading this, congratulations: you're a survivor. According to statistics, you're more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you'll die on average five years before a woman.There're many reasons for this—typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke—but perhaps more importantly, men don't go to the doctor.“Men aren't seeing doctors as often as they should，” says Dr Gullotta. “This is particularly so for the over­40s, when diseases tend to strike.”Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year.Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50­year­old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker's cough for a year.“When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer，” he says. “Earl ier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged(延长) his life.”According to a recent survey, 95%of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.“A lot of men think they're invincible (不可战胜的)，” Gullotta says. “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, ‘Geez,_if_it_could_happen_to_him，…’”Then there's the ostrich approach. “Some men are scared of what might be thereand would rather not know，” says Dr Ross Cartmill.“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies，” Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check­ups.Regular check­ups for men would inevitably place strain on the public purse, Cartmill says. “But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost far greater; it's called premature death.”21．Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage?A．They are more likely to survive serious diseases today.B．Their average life span has been considerably extended.C．They have lived long enough to read this article.D．They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life.22．What is the most important reason that men die five years earlier on average than women according to the passage?A．Men drink and smoke much more than women.B．Men don't seek medical care as often as women.C．Men aren't as cautious as women in face of danger.D．Men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases.23．Which of the following best completes the underlined sentence “Geez, if it could happen to him，…” (Para. 8)?A．it could happen to me, tooB．I should avoid playing golfC．I should consider myself luckyD．it would be a big misfortune24．What does Dr Ross Cartmill mean by “the ostrich approach” (Para. 9)?A．A casual attitude towards one's health conditions.B．A new therapy for certain psychological problems.C．Refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved.D．Unwillingness to find out about one's disease because of fear.25．What does Cartmill say about regular check­ups for men?A．They may increase public expenses.B．They will save money in the long run.C．They may cause psychological strains on men.D．They will enable men to live as long as women.答案课时作业(二十八)Ⅰ.母亲因癌症晚期不幸去世使作者感到无比悲伤，在文中作者追忆母亲的伟大和母亲对自己的影响。

课时作业28 A healthy lifeⅠ.阅读理解(2015·辽宁省沈阳市二中月考)“Have you ever been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you？” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the Univer sity of Edinburgh. “There is certainly a lot of energy in waves，” he said.Scientists are working to use that energy to make electricity. Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. “The wind starts out by making little ripples(涟漪)，but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves，” Taylor said. “Waves are one of nature's ways of picking_up energy and then sending it off on a journey.”When waves come toward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine(涡轮机). The turbine can then power an electrical generator to produce electricity.“The resource is huge，”said Janet Swain of the World Watch Institute.“We will never run out of wave power.”Besides, wave en ergy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or coal.Oceans cover three quarters of the Earth's surface—that would make wave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are some weak points yet to overcome.Swain said that wave power still costs too much money. She also said that its effects on sea animals are still unknown. What is more，wave power could affect fishing and boat traffic. Traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out.“Deman d for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is rising rapidly throughout the world，”Swain said.

I cherish being around people who are totally comfortable with who they are.There always seems to be an aura (光环) of love and acceptance that follows these people around.I think it's because they've figured out one of the biggest secrets of life：the chance of being loved and accepted grows so much when we can truly say we couldn't be more comfortable with ourselves.People like being around those who are comfortable with themselves because they're less threatening.We all feel the need to protect ourselves from threats aimed at our insecurities.Insecurities are like open wounds and it hurts when people poke(捅；戳)at them.It can be exhausting to hang around with folks who constantly poke at us just to gain some kind of external recognition through making everyone else feel smaller.My favorite thing about people who are comfortable with themselves is that they need no external recognition.They have discovered their worth is，by nature，something that cannot be taken away or added to based on what other people think.Ironically enough，this ends up providing comfortable people with more external validation than those who feel they need it most.Because comfortable people's worth comes from within，they see no point in tearing others down.To them，the only sensible way to speak about another is to be positive.I guess when you realize your worth comes from within，you might as well build others up rather than tear them down，since their size is of no threat to your sense of self­worth.Plus，it's a lot more fun to speak love to others and watch their eyes glow than it is to hurt someone's feelings for a cheap laugh，anyway.When we become comfortable with ourselves through fully accepting who we are，we can silence the noise our insecurities make in public situations and enjoy the wonderful reality that unfolds before us.The result is a world with fewer insecurities.To me，that sounds like a better world.1．Which of the following sayings best expresses the main idea of the passage?A．Actions speak louder than words.B．No pains，no gains.C．Luck favors those who are comfortable with who they are.D．Don't claim to know what you don't know.2．What does the underlined word“them” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Insecurities.B．Open wounds.C．People who are comfortable with themselves.D．Threats.3．Why does the author love being around people who are comfortable with themselves?a．Because there will be an aura of love and acceptance that follows these people around.b．Because they are less threatening.c．Because they always have a positive attitude toward others.d．Because the author needs their validation.A．ab. B．abc.C．bc. D．bcd.4．What's the author's purpose of writing this passage?A．To give a vivid description of people who are comfortable with themselves.B．To ask people to make friends with people who are comfortable with themselves.C．To offer some practical advice on how to be a person who is comfortable with himself/ herself.D．To appeal to people to be comfortable with themselves so that we can live in a better world.【解题导语】本文主要讲述了悦己者高朋满座，光环环绕，总是和颜悦色，宽以待人，不会贬低别人，更容易有好运气。

2019-2020年高考英语一轮复习课时规范练28Unit3Ahealthylife新人教版选修Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·山东烟台第三次检测)Noise is one of the problems that have come with industrial advancement and progress in urban environments.It has significantly increased with the invasion(侵入) of social media websites and modern technology in homes,streets,schools and the workplace.While many people are unaware of the effects of noise pollution,experts say there are many psychological,health and mental effects of noise on human beings.Dr Maher Yaqoub,ear,nose and t hroat specialist,said,“When we go home to relax,we hear noise coming from modern devices such as smart phones and tablets(平板电脑) that exist in nearly all houses.At the workplace,we hear noise produced by devices used at the workplace.On the way home,we are affected by the car horns and the like.All these sources of noise can have negative effects on human beings.”Recent studies on the issue have shown that many people suffer from increasing hearing loss due to exposure to constant noise.Infants and the elderly are moreeasily affected by noise-related damage than others.“In fact,noise can destroy a child’s hearing ability and have impact on his health as well,” Yaqoub said.Dr Alaa,psychological and neurological(神经学的) disease specialist,said noise has negative impact on the psychological and health conditions of humans.Itinfluences their performance at work or school as well as the way they communicate with others.Being exposed long to noise affects nerves and makes one feeldissatisfied and frightened because it harms the brain and reduces its activity.The end result is always discomfort and confusion.Noise can cause mental stress and leave the mind unable to understand and process information.A person’s level of alert ness and ability to calculate are influenced as well.Sensitive children feel frightened if exposed to too much noise and such a feeling may get worse in the future and lead to depression,exhaustion and anxiety.1.From Dr Maher Yaqoub’s words,we

pollution,.A.the majority can tell what bad effect it hasB.it has caused mental problems to most peopleC.it is more necessary to protect the young and the oldD.it has made most people l ose their

precious breaks from class work are used to relax and chat with friends,students also need to scarf down a full meal to fuel them through the rest of the day.But it is found that students need more than few minutes to consume those much-needed nutrients.Longer lunch periods are related to students eating healthier lunches,researchers found.The study compared food choices with the amount of time students are given to eat.Students with less than 20 minutes for lunch ate less—including nutritional fruits and veggies.Nationwide,the average lunch period is about 30 minutes,according to a 2014 report from the School Nutrition Association.But researchers found that the amount of time available for students to eat can get cut down to less than 10 minutes.Researchers reviewed 1,001 students in low-income neighborhoods in Massachusetts that had lunch periods of between 20 and 30 minutes in length.Students with less than 20 minutes to eat their lunches consumed 13 percent less of their entrees(主菜),12 percent less of their vegetables,and 10 percent less of their milk compared to students who had at least 25 minutes for lunch.Students with shorter lunch periods were less likely to even select a fruit in the lunch line: 44 percent of kids with20-minute periods picked up an apple or orange.More than 30 million children—half of all public school children nationwide,a record,according to the Southern Educ ation Foundation—eat low-cost or free lunchesevery day under the National School Lunch program.With the 2010 Healthy,Hunger-Free Kids Act,school lunches have seen an examination in their nutritional guidelines,with an increase in whole grains,low-fat options,and fruits and vegetables.While lengthening lunch periods and cutting class time may not be a choice for many schools whose funding is tied to results of tests,researchers suggested properly arranging the lunch lines so that students can make the most out of the time they have.5.The underlined phrase “scarf down” means.A.eatB.prepareC.discussD.improve6.If the students don’t have enough t ime to eat,they will .A.have slim figuresB.eat more fruitsck adequate nutritionD.have to make a hard choice7.What is the best title of the text?A.Want kids to eat healthier school lunches?Give them time.B.The 2010 Healthy,Hunger-Free Kids Act?How to keep slim?C.Better habits affect students’ health?Give them a hand.D.The National School Lunch program will result better.How?8.Some schools are reluctant to cut school time,because.A.they are afraid of criticism from parentsB.they want to

课时提能练(二十八)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·长春检测)I attended a writer's group to get feedback(反馈) on my book.But there were so many people there that the discussion was limited.After getting home，my 13­year­old son asked me to read one chapter to him.So I read the chapter about spending my pocket money as a nine­year­old child.The story took place at a lunch counter，where I dreamed of ordering a banana split.Colorful balloons were hung above the counter and a sign said，“Pop(使爆裂) a balloon and pay 1 cent to 63 cents for a banana split！”As I was given only 50 cents for cleaning the doghouse，I didn't dare to ask my parents for any more pocket money without doing more work.So I kept my wish to myself.Frankie listened carefully，as I read the final sentences of the chapter，“I watched as others selected a balloon to pop and dreamed about the opportunity to take my chance.But it never happened.”The next morning，Frankie led me to the kitchen.I couldn't believe my eyes.The table was covered in a pile of balloons.Frankie handed me 50 c ents and a fork.“Pop one！”he urged.With tears in my eyes，I broke one.A piece of paper fell out of the balloon.“What does it say，Mom？”Frankie asked.“Fifty cents，”I whispered，too choked to speak loudly.Frankie asked，“Well，do you have 50 cents？”I handed him the money.“OK！”Then Frankie pulled out a banana split from the refrigerator.I hugged Frankie hard.We took turns popping the other balloons until I finally got th e 1­cent balloon.It was a long­time coming，but worth the wait.It hit me that the first step in making any wish come true is to give it a voice.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了作者的儿子帮助作者实现童年愿望的温情故事。

考点规范练28 Unit 3 A healthy lifeⅠ.阅读理解AMy activity is uncommon for young men of my own age.It is gymnastics.Gymnastics has taught me self-discipline and given me confidence.The sport of gymnastics is very time-consuming.I work out between 17 and 20 hours a week,not to mention the two hours it takes to drive to and from my gym every day.Some would think such a time-consuming sport would harm my schoolwork.Instead,it gives my life a sense of urgency that not only causes me to spend more time on homework,but also helps me with time management skills and aids me in the composition of quality work in a shorter span of time.Also,the hard work involved in gymnasticsis reflected in my schoolwork because it puts me in a mindset to work to the best of my ability.Gymnastics has taught me that hard work and devotion are not always greeted with immediate st year I was at a new level of gymnastics.I worked hard all season,but received few awards.I learned that although I didn’t receive many prizes,trying my best was indeed important.Sometimes in the workplace hard work is also not rewarded.With the proper mindset,however,knowing that the job was done well would be enough of a reward for me.To be successful in school,intelligence and hard work will get one very far.To be successful in the workplace,one must also have maturity,confidence and discipline.Few activities teach these better than gymnastics.In gymnastics,I often cannot perform a skill either because of fear or because I am just not physically able.Although I may feel unhappy for a while,I have learned to be resilient(有适应力的) by being energetic in my schoolwork and gymnastics,and taking pride in myself and putting myself in a good mindset.Although I will lose my ability to do gymnastics as I age,I will never forget the life lessons this sport has taught me.1.What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A.Gymnastics affects the author’s homework.B.Gymnastics takes too much of the a uthor’s time.C.Gymnastics makes the author stronger.D.The author benefits from gymnastics.2.What did the author learned last year?A.What mattered was getting more prizes.B.What mattered was doing his best.C.Success didn’t come by accident.D.Hard work led to success.3.According to the author,to be successful in the workplace, .A.intelligence and hard work will get one very farB one must overcome his fearC.intelligence and hard work are not enoughD.one must be strong and energetic4.The author often cannot perform a skill in gymnastics because .A.he was frightenedB.he was in poor healthC.he was unhappyD.he was inexperiencedBIn the early morning,I head for the back door and find 10 inches of snow blanketing our home.Oh no,Bryan will have to clear the roof again,I think.But Rio rolls onto his back,playing in the white stuff and kicking his backlegs,delighted.His days in an animal shelter in New Mexico are long forgotten—he’s wholeheartedly enjoyed life as a Colorado dog.Rio needs a walk.I’ve planned to attend an emergent webinar,but my husband is busy clearing.Rio pushes my leg with his snout(口鼻部),wondering why we are still inside.We’re overdue for our morning hike.I pull on my boots reluctantly.I don’t have time for this!Rio and I walk a block through our neighbourhood to the beginning of a road.Rio leaps happily into the powder,which is up to his neck.But I walk slowly with heavy steps,worrying about my to-do list,and I don’t notice the world around me until Rio starts barking.A squirrel chitters(叫) at him from a high branch of a pine tree.We haven’t seen a squirrel in at least a week because of all the storms,so this is a treat for us.Once again,my animal teacher is reminding me to enjoy the present moment,and I’m grateful.I take a deep breath and look around.Suddenly there is an explosion of snow.A nearby tree has released its heavy burden,snapping(迅速恢复) backupright.Silver snowflakes(雪花) dust the air around me as a group of birds flee the area,talking to one another as they fly overhead.I watch and listen in wonder for what seems like a full minute.There will be1,440 minutes in this day,but this is the one I’ll remember most.Then I look back to the earth and there is my sweet boy,waiting patiently for a treat.He knows I’ll want to celebrate this moment we’ve just shared.“I love you,Rio!” I say as I give him a cookie.He has trained me well.When we walk home,I smile broadly,spirit washed clean,ready for whatever the day may bring.5.The underlined word “reluctantly” in paragraph 2 can best be replaced by“”.A.quicklyB.excitedlyC.unwillinglyD.unnecessarily6.How is the author at the beginning of the walk?A.She is relaxed.B.She feels stressed.C.She is worrying about Rio.D.She is still angry with Bryan.7.What does the author learn from Rio?A.No pains,no gains.B.Live in the moment.C.Nothing is impossible.D.Troubles never come singly.Ⅱ.七选五阅读(2018·全国Ⅱ)If you are already making the time to

Unit 3 A healthy lifeⅠ.阅读理解AYears ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital’s emergency department.No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve,so the shift(轮班)went to me.I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital.It was a thankless job.At 9 pm,the ambulance brought in a man in his sixties who was having a heart attack.His face was pale,and he was frightened.The whole night I did my best to save his life.Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family,I stopped by to see how he was doing.It was still tough,but he had survived the night and was sleeping.The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again.At 9 pm sharp,the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me.When I approached them,the man introduced himself as Mr.Lee and said,“You probably don’t remember me,but last Christmas Eve you saved my life.Thank you for the year you gave me.” He and his wife hugged me,handed me a small gift,and left.The following year a new doctor had joined the group,but I wanted to see ifMr.and Mrs.Lee would return.This time,I volunteered for the shift.I kept an eye on the door.Once again,at exactly 9 pm,the Lees appeared,carrying a warmly wrapped bundle.It was their new grandchild.Mr.Lee,his family and I spent 13 Christmas Eves together.In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with him in the break room,where we spent a half hour each Christmas Eve.The last year I saw him,he brought me a gift.I carefully opened the package and found a crystal(水晶) bell inside.It was engraved(镌刻) with a singleword:Friendship.Now,my family,friends and I ring that bell every Christmas Eve at exactly 9 pm and offer our best wishes to the man who we won’t forget.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。

One of the main challenges facing many countries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend. ＂One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that, with a few important exceptions, mother-tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states.＂ said Neville Alexander, Director of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa at the University of Cape Town.In response to the spread of English and the increased multi-language trends arising from immigration, many countries have introduced language laws in the last decade. In some, the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising posters. One of the first such legal provisions(规定) was the 1994 ＂Toubon law＂ in France, and the idea has been copied in many countries since then. Such efforts to govern language use are often considered as futile by language experts, who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process.It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the ＂purity＂ of a language by law. Since the time of Shakespeare, English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language. English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world, but that has not been a barrier to acquiring superiority and power. Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of the state regulation is that it has never been the Anglo-Saxon way of doing things. English has never had a state-controlled authority for the language, similar, for example, to the Academic Francaise in France. The need to protect national languages is, for most western Europeans, a recentphenomenon- especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields. Public communication, education and new ways of communication promoted by technology, may be key fields to defend.1.Neville Alexander believes that __________.A. mother-tongue education is not practiced in all African countriesB. globalization has resulted in the economic failure of AfricaC. globalization has led to the rise of multi-language trendD. lack of mother-tongue education can lead to economic failure2.The underlined word ＂futile＂ (in paragraph 2) most probably means ＂_________＂.A. workableB. practicalC. uselessD. unnecessary3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. English has taken over fields like public communication and education.B. Many aspects of national culture are threatened by the spread of English.C. Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language.D. Europeans have long realized the need to protect a national language.4.The best title for the passage is __________.A. Fighting against the rule of EnglishB. Protecting local languages and identitiesC. Globalization and multi-language trendD. To maintain the purity of language by law【文章大意】现在世界全球化导致很多国家的独特的文化收到了冲击和影响，本文讲述的正是这方面的话题。
