Unit 2 Heroes李仕才【阅读理解】Sometimes, you just can't help it. Maybe you're watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved away. Next thing you know, there's a lump in your throat, your eyes are watering, and you have tears running down your cheeks.A professor of psychology at Tilburg University, in the Netherlands,has studied crying.According to Vingerhoets, there're three types of tears. Basal tears are the first type. They act as a protective barrier between the eye and the rest of the world.Next are reflex tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them. Finally, there're emotional tears. “These are released in response to emotional states,” explains Ving erhoets.Scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other. “Humans are very complex social creatures,” says Lauren Bylsma, a professor from Pittsburgh University, in Pennsylvania. “It seems tha t tears can make them get help and support from others.”She says another reason why we weep is that humans have the longest developmental period of almost any animal. It takes a long time to grow up.Vingerhoets agrees. “I think that the reason wh y humans shed(流出)emotional tears has to do with our prolonged(延长的) childhood,” he says. “That's the time when we're still dependent on adults for love,protection and care. The major advantage of tears is that you can target them at a specific person.”Vingerhoets says this ability could have come in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals. Loud crying could attract predators(捕食者). Tears were a safer way to get attention. “In this case, it's better to use a silent signal to ask for help,” he says. Vingerhoets and Bylsma do frequent studies to better understand why humans cry.1.The tears mentioned in Paragraph 1 should belong to ________.A.basal tearsB.reflex tearsC.happy tearsD.emotional tears2.What is Vingerhoets' attitude to the effects of tears?A.Passive.B.Positive.C.Doubtful.D.Indifferent.3.The underlined phrase of “a silent signal” probably refers to ________.A.a written languageB.predatorsC.tearsD.loud crying4.What is the best title of the text?A.Types of TearsB.Precious TearsC.Secrets of TearsD.On Tears参考答案: 1.D; 2.B; 3.C; 4.C解析: 1.[推理判断题。

This could not be good. My mind raced through the list of family members who might need help, but the voice was hardly familiar.“Lindy, this is Lesley.〞 I didn't know Lesley well. We did occasionally speak with each other, but to say we were friends was not appropriate. I asked what she needed. Perhaps something really awful caused her to reach someone she barely knew. Instead, she asked me, “Do you have room for a turkey? In your freezer?〞We_had_lots_of_room_in_our_freezer,_and_in_fact,_too_much. “Sure,〞 I responded, “did your freezer break down?〞“Not exactly,〞Lesley replied, “but I will explain when I arrive.〞Minutes later came a huge freezer truck. Lesley stepped down and explained the lease (租约) of the grocery store her husband serviced had run out and that they had to empty all the freezers that very night. Thinking it was a shame to throw away all this good food, they decided to drop off food to anyone she could think of. Noticing our freezer was pretty empty, Lesley asked to fill it up. Our home was their last stop and anything left would have to be put in our freezer. An hour later, everything finished, I asked her, “When will you come back for all this?〞Lesley laughed, “We don't want it back. It is yours! Thanks for helping us out!〞 Then they waved goodbye and drove away.“For helping them out?〞 We opened our freezer door. Inside were all expensive foods we never bought but often longed to try.

They also help each other out whenever there's trouble.Personality, just as among people, varies among trees. Some are anxious, some bold. On the author's land, there are three oak trees growing close together. One of the oak trees always starts to shed (使落下) its leaves two weeks earlier than the others. Since they all experience the same temperature, the same soil and the same length of day, such variables can't be the explanation. So what's happening? Well, this tree is simply more careful than the others. Whoever holds on to their leaves longer can do more photosynthesis (光合作用) and store more nutrients. However, the longer a tree keeps its leaves, the higher the risk of injury.Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn from their mistakes.A tree, for example, keeping its leaves too long during one year will never make this mistake again. This leads to several other conclusions: trees must notice the temperature and the length of the day and be able to save their experiences somewhere. Obviously, trees don't have brains, but it is thought that in the sensitive tips of their roots they keep track of information and experiences.But trees aren't only clever when it comes to caring for themselves. They also support each other whenever there's trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics (同种植物) with nutrients. For example, one time the author found a very old tree stump. Its insides had rotted a long time ago to topsoil.But the wood on the outside of the stump was still living. How was this possible? Well, the stump was nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root system, and had been for at least 400 years !Why do trees do_such_a_thing? It's simple: it's better together. Trees need the forest; it protects them from storms, provides the right microclimate and warns them of attacks.8.Why does the author mention the three oak trees?A.To illustrate trees can learn from experiences.B.To show trees can make independent decisions.C.To explain trees are quite supportive to each other.D.To prove trees have the same personalities as humans.9.According to the text, which of the following best describes general features of trees?A.Anxious and bold.B.Smart and adventurous.C.Helpful and wellbehaved.D.Adaptable and supportive.10.What does the underlined phrase “do such a thing〞 mean?A.Give warnings. B.Offer assistance.C.Depend on others. D.Provide nutrients.11.Where does this text most probably come from?A.A public lecture. B.A science book.C.An experiment report. D.A travel journal.D[2020·湖南省师大附中高三检测]Almost every day we come across situations where we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their rights to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion (幻觉), a false idea created by companies and advertisers, hoping to sell their products.The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people's lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shoppers giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decisionmaking is then either avoided or trusted to the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost outofdate once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.12.What does the author try to argue in the first paragraph?A.The practice of choice is difficult.B.Choice is a born right.C.It's easy to make choices.D.Companies offer good shopping choice.13.Which of the following is most likely to cause anxiety?A.Easy access to everyday goods.B.Too many choices.C.Misleading advertisements.D.Professional shopping advice.14.The example of computers is used to prove that ________.A.updated products flood the marketB.hightech products are of poor qualityC.everyday goods need to be replacedD.advanced products are in demand15.What is this passage mainly about?A.The opinions on people's right.B.The problems of the availability of daily goods.C.The helplessness in purchasing decisions.D.The variety of choices in modern society.第二节(共5小题;每一小题2分,总分为10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。
二必修1 Unit 2 HeroesⅠ. 阅读理解AThe Melbourne Magic Festival in Australia attracts crazy fans of all ages to the Arts Centre Melbourne. The annual event includes the Junior Championships of Magic, a showcase for Australia’s promising magicians under the age of 18.The competitors in 2018 included Nicola Gidley, 16, who competed in both the stage magic and close-up magic competitions. For her stage act, Nicola performed a soccer routine: She floated a soccer ball and somehow caused a whistle to disappear. For the close-up act, Nicola performed mind-bending tricks with Rubik’s Cubes. Her impressive routines earned her third prize in both competitions.Nicola entered the world of magic when she was just 12, almost by chance. After injuring her knee playing cricket, Nicola needed surgery. This left her on crutches for three months. With nothing to do, she found a pack of cards and began to “learn simple tricks off YouTube, ” she said. “Then I moved on to bigger and better things, such as tricks with ra bbits and doves. ”Nicola’s hard work has been paying off. Just last year, she was awarded a full scholarship to the well-known Tannen’s Magic Camp in Pennsylvania. The camp is situated in a “Harry Potter-like castle”, Nicola explained, where students participate in classes and workshops run by leading magicians.Stepping on stage in front of an audience can be worrying, Nicola acknowledged. “But with each show, ” she added, “I become more and more confident. ”When asked for advice for ambitious magicians, Nicola said, “Perform any chance you get. The more experience you have on stage in front of an audience, the betteryou become as a performer and a magician. ”【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

Unit 2 Heroes(60分钟81分)Part A一、阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2分,满分16分)ADeath is natural,but do you have any idea of the process of dying?Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two stages—clinical or temporary death and biological death.Clinical death occurs when the vital organs,such as the heart or lungs,have ceased to function,but have not suffered permanent damage.The organism can still be revived(复活).Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of vital cells and tis sues.Death is then unchangeable and final.Scientists have been seeking a way to lengthen the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs.The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism,combined with narcotic(麻醉的) sleep.By slowing down the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢),cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.To illustrate how this works,scientists performed an experiment on asix-year-old female monkey called Keta.The scientists put Keta to sleep with a narcotic.Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature.When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining(使流光) blood from an artery(动脉).The monkey’s blood pressure decreased and a n hour later both the heart and breathing stopped:clinical death set in.For twenty minutes Keta remained in this state.Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees.At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing.After two minutes Keta’s heart became active once more.After fifteen minutes,spontaneous(自发的)breathing began,and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head.After six hours,when the scientists tried togive her a penicillin injection,Keta seized the syringe(注射器)and ran with it around the room.Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.(2015·湖北宜昌第一中学月考)1.For a person who suffers from the clinical death .A.he still has the possibility of getting back to lifeB.his most important organs are damagedC.he can not avoid final deathD.he is still very much alive2.Scientists try to make the time of clinical death longer in order to .A.slow down the body’s metabolismB.bring vital cells and tissues back to active lifeC.delay the coming of biological deathD.cool the organism3.How did the scientists put Keta into clinical death?A.By surrounding her body with ice-bags and draining her blood.B.By lowing her blood pressure and stopping her heart from beating.C.By draining her blood,lowering her blood pressure and stopping her breathing.D.By putting her to sleep,lowering her temperature and draining her blood.4.All of the following indicate that the monkey has almost restored to her original physical state except the fact that .A.her heart beat againB.she regained her normal breathC.she rejected a penicillin injectionD.she acted as lively as a healthy monkey【文章大意】本文是一篇科普说明文。

The couple had decided that instead of hosting their friends and family for a traditional feast reception, they would feed the victims from an earthquake-stricken area.The idea came from the bridegroom's father, Ted, who volunteers for a Turkish relief organization.

Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.To spread that message, Gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe, but instead of simply using a geotag, she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking spectacular pictures in Athens and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest, all with the wellknown locations written on her artificial leg.“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalkboard,” Gallagher said. “My mum and grandmother weren’t too keen on the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.”Gallagher said people often stare when she’s writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos, she receives only positive feedback. “My leg hasn’t stopped me from doing an ything I’ve wanted to do,” she said. “I don’t know if it’s my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, but regardless, I’ve been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life.”Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams.

In the morning light, I could see the shadows that were etched(蚀刻)deep within the lines surrounding his eyes.Each morning I walked this route with my daughter to her kindergarten class. We were new to the neighborhood so that I didn’t know many of my neighbors. On one beautiful autumn morning, as we passed his house, my daughter called out to him, “Hi, Mr. Man!〞 Always the outgoing ch ild, I wasn’t surprised at her enthusiasm. But her cheerfulness soon faded when the man didn’t look at her and say “Hi〞 back.As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her. Because I didn’t have an answer, I said simply, “Maybe he is having a bad day.〞 later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.A few days later, as we approached Bob’s house on our way to school, my daughter called out “Hi Mr. Man!〞and as usual, he didn’t respond.

Throughout history, advertising has been an effective way to promote(促进) the trading and selling of goods. In the Middle Ages,merchants employed “town criers” to read public messages aloud to promote their goods. When printing was invented in the fifteenth century, pages of advertisements (ads) could be printed easily and were either hung in public places or put in books.By the end of the seventeenth century, when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people, printed materials became an important way to promote products and services. The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising. This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century. Ad writers were starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text. Everything, from clothes to drinks,was promoted with clever methods such as repetition of the firm's name or product,words organized in eyecatching patterns,the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember.Near the end of the nineteenth century,companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as “advertising agencies(广告商)”.The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves as members of a group. Throughout the twentieth century,advertising agencies promoted consumerism(消费主义)as a way of life,spreading the belief that people could be happy only if they bought the “right” products.31.

In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music.Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it.And in that short time,he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue.Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert.The audience were thrilled when they heard his music.It made him worldfamous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.In 1928,Gershwin went to Paris.He applied to study composition (作曲)with the well-known musicianNadia Boulanger,but she rejected him.She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazzinfluenced style.While there,Gershwin wrote An American in Paris.When it was first performed,critics (评论家)were divided over the music.Some called it happy and full of life,to others it was silly and boring.But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States.It still remains one of his most famous works.George Gershwin died in 1937,just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer.He was only thirtynine years old.Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages.People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.【语篇解读】本文讲述了George Gershwin 一位伟大的音乐家的一生,对音乐界及世界的影响。
