Unit 19 Language(B)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2021·辽宁大连双基测试)For many people ,being on the job might just sound like a picnic compared to a day at home filled with housework ,meals and childcare.Even for those with a happy family life ,home can sometimes feel more taxing than work.In a new study ,researchers at Penn State University found significantly and consistently lower levels of cortisol(皮质醇) released in response to stress ,in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home.This was true for both men and women ,and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work.But women were more likely to report feeling happier there.Men were more likely to feel happier at home.Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many. "Paid work is more valued in society ,〞says Sarah Damaske, the lead researcher on the study. "Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.〞We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards.Yet none of us ,no matter how long we've been doing it ,ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.The support and friendship of coworkers also offer stress relief.At home ,meanwhile ,stress spreads and accumulates quickly. "That's the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners ,〞Dr.Damaske says.Much of the advice to families and couples includes the warning to leave work stress at the office and even to change our mindset from work to home ,for example ,a walk around the block.The recent findings ,though ,suggest our home life ,not our attitude ,might be due for some change.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一项研究

have.In fact ,it is something like playing the saxophone. 1 So read on to know how.·Be more curious.It's important to seek out new viewpoints every day. 2 To involve this in your daily life ,make sure to keep an open mind when you're presented with an idea ,and be curious as to what else is around the corner.·Give yourself space.Letting every piece of information into your brain drags you from being creative.Try to apply a level of space into your everyday life. 3 It helps to lead your thinking patterns away from potential distractions(使人分心的事物) ,leaving much room to have creative ideas.·Try something new.Frequent thinking patterns ,in effect ,cause you to be more likely to think the same things or make the same decisions over and over unless you get out of your comfort zone. 4 Though not always easy ,it does open up a whole new world of thinking!· 5Social media has created an environment where we're constantly shown whether we've succeeded in the form of likes or comments ,which leads us to doubt ourselves.However ,creativity is a journey ,and you're learning every step of the way.Honestly ,you'll learn much more from that than a straight win anyway.So be confident and tell yourself you have already done well enough.A.Learn from failure.B.Remind yourself you're good enough.C.The 8 p.m. -8 a.m.phone ban is a great way to begin.D.Getting physical really helps to sort out your brain space.E.But it's not easy to feel or be automatically creative either.F.Thus you can think and approach things from another angle.G.Using your skills in a different area is a great way to think outside the box.【语篇解读】本文介绍了几种如何使自己变得更有创造力的方法 .1.E[下文提到它有点像吹奏萨克斯 ,设空处应该介绍如何像萨克斯 ,主语应该与上文一致 ,但意义上转折 ,以便引出下文的建议 .应选E项 .]2.F[本段主题是更好奇 .设空前提到每天寻找新的观点很重要 ,F项(这样你可以从不同的角度思考和处理问题)与上文一致 ,也与下文的to keep an

Unit 5 Rhythm(A)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·云南省昆明市高三复习教学质量检测)Two weeks ago, a 7yearold girl, Chloe Bridgewater wrote a letter to Google, expressing her interest in working for the tech company when she gets older.“Dear Google boss, my name is Chloe and when I am bigger I would like a job with Google, ”she wrote.“I also want to work in a chocolate factory and do swimming in the Olympics.” The student said she liked computers and had a tablet she played games on.She even showed off a robot game that her dad gave her.It wasn't long before Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, replied with his own letter on Google website.In a letter dated Feb.3, Pichai wrote, “Dear Chloe, I'm glad that you like computers and robots, and hope that you will continue to learn about technology.I think if you keep working hard and follow your dreams, you can accomplish everything you set your mind to.I look forward to receiving your job application when you are finished with school!”Her father, Andy Bridgewater told ABC News he was completely shocked that his daughter received a reply.But he wasn't surprised that she decided to write the letter in the first place.“She's got determination.She doesn't see the barriers that we face every day,” he explained.“If she wants to do it, she will set out to do it and nothing will stop her.”The father remarked that his daughter began jumping up and down after receiving the letter.Still, he's not i n a rush to send his eldest daughter off to work.“Now, my daughter is confident, although she hasn't yet fully understood that it will take more efforts than finishing her study to make it with Google,” he said.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。

Let's go, let's go, let's go (curse word) Glasgow!” Pretty soon, I was no longer saying “thanks” at the supermarket—instead, I said “cheers”.My Scottish friends drank whiskey and ate haggis(羊杂碎布丁).I drank plenty of whiskey but I was ashamed to admit that I wasn't brave enough to try haggis.Scottish bakeries usually sell bridies (肉馅饼).Add a cup of tea—though I usually Americanized it by choosing coffee instead—and a bridie makes for a delicious breakfast.Every time I took a train anywhere in Scotland, I'd gaze out at the rolling hills and wonder if grass was greener than anywhere else in the world.Then I'd reflect that there's a reason this country was the birthplace of golf.【语篇解读】本文介绍了“我”在苏格兰学习期间的体验:居民友好,食物独特,景色优美,苏格兰英语与美式英语有区别。

the "showrooming〞.Driven by the desire to get the best prices ,many shoppers are now visiting brickandmortar stores to personally check on products that interest them ,only to leave and then buy the items online.The new trend is forcing retailers to find out new ways to keep consumers from leaving their store for cheaper prices online.Recent research found that 40 percent of U.S.shoppers have showroomed previously ,with big box retailers suffering the most.Specifically ,the study shows that Best Buy ,Walmart and Target ar e the most likely brickandmortar stores to have shoppers test out a product instore and then purchase it online later ,while Amazon is benefiting most from the practice ,with nearly 60 percent of shoppers using the online retail giant(巨人) most often to make their showrooming purchases.Smartphones have pushed showrooming into the front.Shoppers no longer have to wait until they get home to see if they can find a cheaper price for the products they're considering buying.With smartphones ,consumers can now compare virtual prices ,at both other brickandmortar stores and online ones while still inside a retail store.If they can find what they're seeking for less expensive online ,the majority will be seeking the first exit.A recent study showed that 45 percent of customers shopping at brickandmortar stores walk out and buy their purchases online for a discount of as little as 2.5 percent.This puts pressure on retailers to provide both an instore experience worth staying for and an online presence that can attract shoppers who are showrooming in other businesses.To cut down on showrooming ,many retailers are adopting new methods to keep shoppers in their stores.Among the steps they're taking are pricematching guarantees that allow shoppers to pay a discounted price if they find it cheaper online.This ensures that even a showrooming shopper can make the purchase in the store -regardless of whether they find the cheaper price online.Another popular method to fight against showrooming is to give shoppers the ability to buy something online and pick it up at the store.This reduces shopping costs and gets customers in the store ,where they may be encouraged to make an additional purchase.It is also important for businesses to take into consideration what makesshoppers purchase something instore rather than online,and meet those needs.Research has found that more than 8 in 10 Americans consider being able to take the goods home immediately and the ability to touch and feel them -the most important aspects when deciding to purchase in a store rather than online.【语篇解读】近年来 ,实体店面临的最|||大挑战就是消费者在实体店体验产品之后 ,却在网上购置产品 .针对此现象 ,许多零售商开始实施新的策略 ,以把顾客留在实体店 . 5.According to the passage ,a showrooming shopper

Unit 8 Adventure(B)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2021·河北石家庄高三复习教学质量检测(二))Among the international students in Canada who are struggling to find a job there after graduation, some eventually make it with relative ease.They're the ones who've already built up much internship (实习) experience while still attending university, as their majors offer a cooperative program.Coop programs, a feature (特色) of Canadian university programs, allow academic studies to be combined with work experience.During school years, students get to network with employers, gain internship experience in relevant fields, and earn academic credits that count toward their degree or diploma.Coop programs are available in most comprehensive universities, like the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University and York University.These programs are not only open to students majoring in business but also to many science and art majors.Statistics show that nearly 30 percent of recent foreign applicants have chosen majors that also s ubscribe to the Coop pro gram. "It's easy to understand ,〞said a senior education counselor.He noted that working opportunities are provided by employers that build bridges with the university and most of them are wellknown companies or local government organizations.Moreover, the average salary for interns is as high as C$30 ,000 to C $40 ,000 a year.Students can choose to work during vacations or termtime freely.The required duration of the internship for undergraduates ranges from eight to twelve months, or four to six months for graduate students. "The programs also benefit those students who want to apply for immigration ,〞 added the counselor. "That's because the policies of many provinces in Canada require a certain length of work experience of the applicants.〞【语篇解读】本文介绍了加拿大的一些大学针对留学生的合作工程 .该工程为留学生提供了工作时机 .1.What's the main characteristic of Coop programs?A.They offer a variety of jobs in all fields.B.They make academic credits easier to gain.C.Employers work with students on their studies.D.Students get work experience while at university.D[考查细节理解 .通读全文可知 ,第二段介绍了该工程的特点;根据第二段的第二句 "During school years, students get to network with employers, gain internship experience in relevant fields, and earn academic credits that count toward their degree or diploma.〞可知 ,该合作工程的主要特点是学生可以在大学期间就获得工作经验 ,故D项正确 .][干扰项分析] 根据第二段第二句中的 "gain internship experience in relevant fields〞可知 ,学生实习时的工作与自己所学的领域有关 ,而不是各种领域 ,故A项错误;根据第二段第二句中的 "and earn academic credits that count toward their degree or diploma.〞可知 ,学生可以通过参加该合作工程赢得学分 ,而不是使学分更容易获得 ,故B项错误;根据第二段第二句中的 "students get to network with employers〞可知 ,C项错误 .2.What does the example of foreign applicants indicate?A.Coop programs are becoming more popular.B.The average salary for interns will increase.C.Coop programs are open to all majors.D.Companies welcome foreign students.A[考查推理判断 .根据第三段的第三句 "Statistics show that nearly 30 percent of recent foreign applicants have chosen majors that also subscribe to the Coop program.〞可知 ,数据显示 ,将近30%的外国留学生选择的专业都支持该合作工程;据此可以判断 ,文中提及该例旨在说明该工程越来越受到留学生的青睐 ,故A项正确 .] 3.Which section of a website does the text probably come from?A.Business.

"That whole little thing -‘I never meant to hurt you , -that's the thing you can't forgive ,〞 she says , "It goes right to your soul, that sick feeling.〞Instead, Caroline says it's important to approach the conversation differently.Ultimately, it's about offering more than an apology. 3 "Let's redo the scene ,〞 Caroline says. "The person comes up to you and says, ‘I need to tell you something. 4 It was guilt.I heard my conscience tell me not to do this but I didn't listen.And I now know that my actions redirected the course of your life.This is not an apology.I am confessing(忏悔) my soul to you. 5 ,〞Even saying those words on stages makes Caroline visibly emotional, and she points out that this is how deeply within the soul apologies are supposed to resonate.And that's what heals.A.Here is my apology.B.But it doesn't matter to you.C.I'm asking now for your forgiveness.D.I consciously knew what I was doing.E.But you know I never meant to hurt you.F.It's about sharing a soultosoul confession.G.However, it's not a suitable way to apologize.【语篇解读】本文援引了Caroline Myss的话向读者说明了用 "我从没想过要伤害你〞来抱歉是不够的 .1.G[根据下文的内容尤其是"She explained why ‘I never meant to hurt you ,is nevera sufficient apology, no matter who it comes from.〞可知 ,此处讲的应是用 "我从没想过要伤害你〞这句话来抱歉的缺乏 ,故G项 "但是 ,这并不是一种适宜的抱歉的方法〞符合语境 .]2.E[根据本段内容可知 ,此处是Caroline Myss让大家想象一下有人用 "我从没想过要伤害你〞来向你抱歉时的情景 ,故E项符合题意 .]3.F[根据上文的 "it's about offering more than an apology〞以及下文的 "This isnot an apology.I am confessing(忏悔)my soul to you.〞可知F项 "It's about sharinga soultosoul confession.〞与之相照应 ,表示抱歉应该是心灵对心灵的忏悔 .下文中的 "within the soul〞亦是提示 .应选F .]4.D[根据空后的 "It was guilt.I heard my conscience tell me not to do this butI didn't listen...〞可知 ,此处讲的应该是当时所做的错事方面的内容 ,故D项符合语境 .易错点拨:此题易错选A项 .但A项表述的内容 "这是我的抱歉〞与后面的 "It was guilt〞相矛盾 ,且与下文中的 "This is not an apology〞矛盾 ,所以A项错误 .] 5.C[根据上文中的 "As tempting as it can be to move on and bury the hatchet(和解)...〞可知 ,向别人抱歉的目的是获得别人的谅解 ,故C项符合语境 .]Ⅲ.语法填空(2021·江西九江二模)Chengdu has been making a name for itself in Western countries in recent years, as the city has moved to 1 (strength) its cultural exchanges with the rest of the world.Chengdu Week 2 (host) in Madrid in January as a major activity of the 2021 Happy Spring Festival in Spain , 3 is an annual event held by the Chinese embassy in Spain to celebrate 4 traditional Spring Festival holiday with overseas Chinese, locals and other visitors.It was the first time that the Chinese embassy had 5 (patient) introduced a city to the traditional Lunar New Year celebration.During the festival, classic regional art forms such as paper cutting, shadow plays and face changing opera performances were 6 display at the famous Plaza Mayor in Madrid.

Unit 11 The Media(B)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2021·深圳第|一次调研)Much information can be conveyed ,purely through our eyes ,so the expression "eyes also talk〞is often heard.Can you recall any experience that further proves this statement ?On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger ,but not make eye contact.If he senses that he is being stared at ,he may feel uncomfortable.It is the same in daily life.If you are stared at for more than necessary ,you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you.If nothing goes wrong ,you will feel angry about others' staring at you that way.Eyes do convey information ,right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze(注视) ,his intentions are obvious.That is ,he wishes to attract her attention ,to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.However ,the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time ,in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking ,to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking ,as if he tries to control you ,you will feel uneasy.A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim ,since he believes the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.In fact ,continuous eye contact happens between lovers only ,who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time ,to show love that words cannot express.Evidently ,eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.【语篇解读】本文介绍了 "眼睛会说话〞的观点 ,告诉我们不同场合的眼神交流所代表的不同含义 .1.What may a person usually do on a bus?A.Glance at a stranger with eye contact.B.Use eyes to talk to a stranger politely.C.Glance at

Unit 19 Language(B)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2017·辽宁大连双基测试)For many people,being on the job might just sound like a picnic compared to a day at home filled with housework,meals and childcare.Even for those with a happy family life,home can sometimes feel more taxing than work.In a new study,researchers at Penn State University found significantly and consistently lower levels of cortisol(皮质醇) released in response to stress,in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home.This was true for both men and women,and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work.But women were more likely to report feeling happier there.Men were more likely to feel happier at home.Experts say there are other reasons why work i s less stressful than home for many.“Paid work is more valued in society,”says Sarah Damaske, the lead researcher on the study.“Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards.Yet none of us,no matter how long we've been doing it,ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.The support and friendship of coworkers also offer stress relief.At home,meanwhile,stress spreads and a ccumulates quickly.“That's the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,”Dr.Damaske says.Much of the advice to families and couples includes the warning to leave work stress at the office and even to change our mindset from work to home,for example,a walk around the block.The recent findings,though,suggest our home life,not our attitude,might be due for some change.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一项研究,该研究表明越来越多的人认为上班比在家做家务、做饭和带孩子更轻松一些。
