Unit 1 A land of diversity高考题型分组训练阅读理解板块训练——重细节,练速度(限时:25分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解AA teacher from Relax Kids in Tamworth, the UK, used two apples to show her students the damaging and often unseen consequences of bullying. And her post about the powerful lesson has gone viral.Rosie Dutton explained that during one of her classes she introduced two red apples to the children. What the kids didn't know was that prior to the lesson, Dutton had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the floor. And yet, on the outside at least, both apples looked perfect. “I picked up the apple I'd dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple, and that I thought it was disgusting, it was a horrible colour and the stem was just too short,” Dutton wrote.She then encouraged the students to do the same. Some of the children looked at her like she was “crazy”, but the students passed the apple around the circle, calling_it_names.Continuing the exercise, the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle. This apple, however, was showere d with comments like “Your skin is beautiful!” and “What a beautiful colour you are!”Dutton then showed the students and both apples once again, highlighting that “there was no change, and both apples still looked the same.”That is, until she cut them op en. “The apple we'd said unkind words to was bruised and all mushy inside,” she said. There was, she said, an immediate “light bulb” moment for her students. “They really got it. What we saw inside that apple is what is happening inside everyone of us when someone mistreats us with their words or actions.”Dutton explained how important it is to teach children to stand up for one another, and to stop any form of bullying.“Let's create a generation of kind caring children,” the teacher wrote. “The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.”语篇解读:本文为一篇记叙文。

In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.Perhaps the show's popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowderand paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result?It's possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.But there's still hope for the paint brush. China's Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays a s a group of sixyearolds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher's examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture, ” she answers. “Students must learn now so they don't forget when they grow up. ” says the teacher.【解题导语】本文介绍了针对很多中国人忘记许多汉字的写法这一现状而进行的补救措施——让学生参加汉字拼写大会、教小学生书法。

Unit 1 A land of diversityⅠ.阅读理解The speaker, a teacher from a commun ity college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, “High school English teachers are not doing their jobs.” He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.My topic is not standards nor its decline. What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies(缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today’s young people, it naturally follows that today’s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language.1.The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that .A.the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that of the older generationB.the students had a poor command of English because they didn’t work hard enoughC.he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English f or sixteen yearsD.English teachers should be held responsible for the students’poor command of English2.In the author’s opinion, the speaker ________.A.gave a correct judgment of the English level of the studentsB.had exaggerated the language problems of the st udentsC.was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobsD.could think and speak intelligently3.The author’s attitude towards the speaker’s remarks is ________.A.neutralB.positiveC.criticalpromising4.In the passage the author argues that .A.it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the studentsB.young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their jobs properlyC.to eliminate language defi ciencies one must have sensitive eyes and earsD.to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generationsChinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against malaria(疟疾). This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China.Tu shared the prize with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary anti-roundworm treatment. 84-year-old Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing patients’suffering and promoting mankind’s health. Although she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu’s dedication and perseveran ce in discovering artemisinin(青蒿素), the key drug that battles malaria friendly parasites(寄生虫). However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, b ut she doesn’t have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the “three noes” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China’s national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists.The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one.As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu’s record-breaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward heor she may get.5.It can be concluded from the text that .A.Tu worked home and abroad to conduct her researchB.Tu got the Nobel Prize for her anti roundworm treatmentC.the Nobel Prize is the first award to recognize her workD.her discovery of artemisinin has helped to cut malaria death rate6.The author seems to agree that a person who is more likely to become a scientistis the one with .A.a sense of national prideB.relevant academic knowledgeC.a desire to achieve successD.enthusiasm for scientific research7.In writing the passage, the author intends to .rm readers of the news and make commentsB.discourage the pursuit of instant success in scienceC.remind readers of the principles of scientific researchD.praise the award winner and encourage scientific researchⅡ.语法填空A man looking at his smartphone while walkin g across a railway crossing in Nanjing 1 (have) a close knock on Oct 22. He was so 2 (absorb) in his smartphone that he didn’t see a train approaching until it brushed past him, 3 (throw) him to the ground. This should serve 4 a warning that people shouldbe aware of their surroundings, especially 5 crossing roads.6 (lucky), the man survived a brush with death, but the incident forced the driver 7 (stop)the train. An 18-minute delay followed the incident, 8 led to a break in the running of other trains on the route.Smartphone 9 (addict) has spread like an infectious disease. It’s evident that it will do great harm to society. What’s even 10 (bad), some addicts become impatient with relatives and friends.Some people blame the smartphone for the tragedy, yet in fact people’s weakening self-control and self-discipline are to blame.Ⅲ.短文改错Dear Editor,I am a Senior Three student. Recently we had carried out a survey—“To whomdo you go when you in trouble?” The results are as follows.61% of the students being surveyed select friends or schoolmates as their ideal listeners when they have troubles, the reason of it is that they are in the same age group and have a better understanding of each other. Another 22% choose teachers and parents to talk. They suggest that teachers and parents be rich in life and educational experience. Nevertheless, there are also 17% who don’t share their troubles at all. They said that their troubles are none of others’ business, and they find it harder to get along with others.It is not easy to reach definite conclusions basing on such a survey example.However, some general comments can be made. There seems clear from the respons e that some students lack communication with others and teachers and parents need to play a more important role in their lives.Yours sincerely,Li Hua答案:Ⅰ.阅读理解A语篇导读:社区大学的一位老师关于教师有责于学生英语差的发言得到了观众的支持,但作者却有不同的看法。

I'm determined now to get my family to recycle as much as possible.It'll be worth it if we can make our seas safer for all those beautiful sea animals.So,if you'd like to join me in taking part in this day next year,it'll be on January 11th.The focus on that day will be on getting rubbish out of rivers.There'll be a day later in the year on cleaning up woodlands.第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
