课后阅读作业一Module 1Period 1Ⅰ. 阅读理解A(2016·四川高考) In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的)people. Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony(殖民地)of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should live by the French law. However, their remote locations mean that the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of“lawlessness”in the world.The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the efforts of a Frenchman from Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250, 000 living in its capital, Cayenne.“I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I hav e worked there on and off for almost ten years, ”says Gin. “I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don’t see it as a lawless land. But rather I seeit as an area of freedom. ”“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life, ”continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly. ”His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic, which brings withitnot only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide.【语篇概述】本文是一篇说明文, 文章介绍了法属圭亚那雨林地区的土著居民的生活。

高一英语阅读理解专讲专练含答案及解析八抓主干，理枝叶长难句增加，是近年高考阅读理解试题不可忽视的现象之一。

英语的长句可分为两类：含有数量较多的定语或状语的简单句和含有数量较多的各种从句的并列句或复合句。

阅读长句的基本方法是抓主干，理枝叶。

抓主干就是抓句子的主体部分，也就是主语和谓语，它们是传达信息的主要载体；理枝叶就是分析句子的附加部分，不论它们有多长，有多复杂，它们都是辅助成分，我们只要明确它们与主体的关系就可以了。

如：The moon is so far from the earth that even if huge trees were growing on themountains, and elephants were walking about, we could not see them through the most powerful telescopes which have ever been invented.这个长句的主干就是The moon is far from the earth，其他部分，如状语从句、定语从句等，都是为突出主题服务的。

The next morning, Sam woke up blind. His legs were broken. The doctor, Mr Lee, was standing by his bed, looking at him with a thoughtful expression. When he saw Sam awake, he asked, “How are you feeling, Sam? ”Sam smiled and said, “Not bad, doctor. Thank you for doing the operation(手术). ”Mr Lee was moved by Sam. When he was leaving, Sam said, “Please don’t tell Jason about it. ” “. . . OK, ”Mr Lee replied.Months later when Jason’s wounds (伤)healed, Sam was still very sick. Neither could he see nor walk. What he could do was just stay in his wheelchair all day long. At first, Jason stayed with him for a few days. But days later, Jason felt very discouraged and embarrassed to spend time staying with a disabled man like Sam. So he went to see Sam less and less. He made new friends. From then on, he didn’t go to visit Sam any more. Sam didn’t have an y family or friends other than Jason. He felt very sad.Things went from bad to worse. Sam died a year later. When Jason came, Mr Lee gave a letter to him. It was from Sam. In the letter Sam said, “Dear Jason, I am disabled. But I want you to be a healthy man. So I gave my eyes to you so that you can enjoy life as a healthy man. Now you have new friends. I’m glad to see that you are as healthy as usual. I’m glad you live a happy life. You are always my best friend. . . Sam”. When he finished reading the letter, Mr Lee said, “I’ve promised that I will keep this secret until Sam is gone. Now you know it. ”Jason stood there. Tears ran down his face. 【语篇概述】本文是记叙文。

Kong Zi,also called Confucius(551—479 B.C.),and Socrates(469—399 B.C.)lived only a hundred years apart.During their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece,but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas,and how these ideas in turn,shaped their societies.Neither philosopher lived in times of peace,though there were more wars in Greece than in China.The Chinese states were very large and feudal,while the Greek city-states were small and urban.The urban environment in which Socrates livedallowed him to be more radical(激进的)than Confucius.Unlike Confucius,Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively.Thus,Socrates was able to be more idealistic,focusing on issues like freedom,and knowledge for its ownsake.Confucius,on the other hand,advised those in government service,and many of his students went on to government service.Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life.“Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth,though some had more potential than others,and that it was knowledge that set men apart.Socrates focused on the individual,and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom.He believed that some had more potential to develop their reason than others did.Like Confucius,hebelieved that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的) classes.For Socrates,the family was of no importance,and thecommunity of little concern.For Confucius,however,the family was the centre of society,with family relations considered much more important than political relations.Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A.Socrates and Confucius had much in common.B.Confucius had much influence on Socrates’ ideas.C.The societies were influenced by the philosophe rs’ ideas.D.There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.2. Socrates shared with Confucius the idea that .A.all men were equal when they were bornB.the lower classes should be ruled by the upper classC.the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdomD.people should not do to others what they did not want others to do to them3. What made some people different from others according to Confucius?A.Family. _____________________________________B.Potential.C.Knowledge.munity.4. This passage is organized in the pattern of .A.time and eventsparison and contrastC.cause and effectD.definition and classification2. 阅读理解。

Your house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a role inwhether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.You can make your environment work for you instead of againstyou.Here are some ways to turn your home into part ofyour diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights.Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating,for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places — and so more likely to eat lots of food.If your home doesn’t have enough window light,get more lamps and floodthe place with brightness.Mind the colors.Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites.In one study,people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.Warm colors like yellow make food appear moreappetizing,while cold colors make us feel less hungry.So when it’s time to repaint,go blue.Don’t forget the clock — or the radio.People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里)per meal than those who rush through their meals.Begin keeping trackof the time,and try to make dinner last at least 30minu tes.And while you’re at it,actually sit down to eat.If you need some help slowing down,turn on relaxing music.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes.Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.We eat about 22 percent more when using a12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate.When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one,total intake(摄入) jumps by14 percent.And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid intoa short,wide glass than a tall,skinny glass.1. The text is especially helpful for those who careabout .A.their home comfortsB.their body shapeC.house buyingD.healthy diets2. A home environment in blue can help people .A.digest food betterB.reduce food intakeC.burn more caloriesD.regain their appetites3. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A.Eat quickly.B.Play fast music.e smaller spoons.D.Turn down the lights.4. What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Is Your House Making You Fat?B.Ways of Serving DinnerC.Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?2. 阅读理解。

专项训练：M2 阅读理解专练AIn Canada and the United States, there is a new group of childrencalled “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live inanother place.Asians are immigrating(移民)to Canada and the Uni ted States inlarger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because theybelieve that they can give their children a better education in the West.In Asia, especially in China and Japan, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave thei r countries so that their children can go to university.The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children stud y in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kids” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means growing up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means growing up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education.1. Why do some Asian parents send their kids abroad?A. They hope their children may easily find a job there.B. The kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends.C. The kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries.D. All foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries.2. “Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids.A. without parentsB. living abroad aloneC. with university educationD. who don’t speak English3. Some Asian immigrant children become“satellite kids”because their parents.A. want them to be independentB. want them to go to universityC. return to their countries to workD. want to leave their own countries4. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Parents feel lonely and miss their families.B. Parents want better education for their kids.C. Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family.D. Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem.BYou probably know you should say “please” and “thank you”at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You knowyou should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you havemusic manners?Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music.You should not play your music so loud that everyone around youcan hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 player, you shouldn’t turn it up too high.Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn off your MP3 and put it away.Libraries and schools don’t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn’t make sense to listen to your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out! Once in a while it’s oka y just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening to your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not for you.It’s Your Choice! The re are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.5. The underlined word “volume” in Paragraph 2 probably means“”.A. the type of musicB. the length of a songC. the amount of a soundD. the colour of an MP3 player6. We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music.A. is not enjoyableB. hurts our earsC. is bad for MP3 playersD. makes us tired7. If we listen to our MP3 player at a play, .A. we will miss part of the playB. the actors will get angryC. others won’t hear the play wellD. the theatre won’t allow it8.

Module 6 阅读专项训练Ⅰ..阅读理解AConfucius (551－497 BC) was a thinker，educator，and founder of the Ru School for Chinese thought.He was a well-known leader in philosophy and he also made many wise phrases and theories about the law，life，and the government that helped many people learn about nature，the world，and human beings.Confucius's social philosophy largely centers around the concept of “ren”，which is “loving others” and “honoring one's parents”．Those who have developed “ren” are “simple in manner and slow of speech”．For Confucius，such concern for others is proved through the practice of the Golden Rule：“What you do not wish for yourself，do not do to others.”Confucius thinks a good rulership was to have “de” or “virtue” which allows one to win people's support without using any force and keep good order in his state without troubling himself，and that a ruler should rule his people by his own example and treat them with love and concern.A characteristic of Confucius' thought is his emphasis (强调) on education and study.“A good teacher is someone who knows well the ways of the past and the practices of the ancients.” and he also thinks “He who learns but does not think is lost.He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.”Confucius did not write down the principles of his philosophy；these were handed down only through his students.Lun Yu，a book compiled (编撰) by some of his students，is considered the most dependable source of information about his life and teachings.One of the historical works that he is said to have compiled and edited，The Spring and Autumn Annals，is describing Chinese history in the state of Lu from 722 to 481 BC.Since Confucius's teachings and philosophy was so advanced, it was the education for China for 2,000 years.It is called Confucianism.1．The passage mainly discusses ________.A．Confucius and his great thoughtB．the life of ConfuciusC．Confucius's influence on studentsD．Confucius's teaching methods2．Confucius's philosophic thinking can help people know about all the following EXCEPT ________.A．humans B．natureC．the world D．the sun3．Which of the following expresses Confucius's educational idea?A．What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others.B．Learning and thinking should go hand in hand.C．“Loving others” and “honoring one's parents”．D．A ruler should love and care about his people.4．We can infer from the passage that a teacher should be a person who ________.A．is old and experienced enoughB．learns but doesn't thinkC．does things according to good old waysD．thinks a lot but doesn't learnBAlong with silk and paper，gunpowder is another invention by Chinese and the Silk Road helped it spread to the West.The dating of gunpowder is as early as 850 AD.The Chinese used gunpowder to make fireworks and for signal flares.Gunpowder was also thought to have been used in medicine and in alchemy(炼金术)．This invention seems to have been discovered in China by accident－by alchemists when doing experiments.The gunpowder used for military purpose was first recorded in 919 AD.By the 11th century，explosive bombs filled with gunpowder were introduced and used in China.The words “fire cannon”，“rocket” and “fireball” appeared time and again in the official Song history as well as two other books written during the same period.The first detailed description of using the “fire cannon” in warfare(战争) was inconnection with a battle fought in 1126 when the Song army used it against the invading enemy.The so­called “fire cannon” was a tube made of bamboo filled with gunpowder which, when fired，threw a flaming missile towards the enemy.According to a description of a battle scene in 1132，it took two persons to carry a “fire cannon” and the cannons were fired from a movi ng platform.And this platform had to be moved close to the wall of the besieged(被围攻的) city.The Chinese invention of gunpowder reached Japan，the Islamic countries and then Europe in the 13th century and the Arabs improved gunpowder for military use.The early account of gunpowder in Europe was recorded by English philosopher Roger Bacon in the 13th century.One century later the Arabs used it to attack the Spanish town Baza and the next year in 1326 Florence ordered the manufacturing of cannon and cannon balls.From Italy the making of gunpowder soon spread to other European countries，and by the 1350s it had become an effective weapon on the battlefield.5．According to this passage，we can learn that gunpowder ________.A．was invented earlier than silk and paperB．was used for military purpose as soon as it was inventedC．was used in fireworks，medicine，alchemy and military purposeD．was spread from the West to China6．Gunpowder was discovered ________.A．by alchemists when they had an accidentB．by alchemists after studying it for a long timeC．accidentally by alchemistsD．experimentally by alchemists7．Which of the following words can best describe a “fire cannon”？A．Convenient.
