课时规范训练(二十七)Ⅰ.阅读理解AHave you ever found yourself in this situation：You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child—a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast from the past，” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen­and­repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply spe ak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh's website Dr.Ludke writes，“This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen­and­repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”1．The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to ________.A．recall the pastB．attract the readersC．introduce the topicD．compare the childhood with the present2．According to the passage, which language doesn't share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?A．Hungarian. B．Spanish.C．Italian. D．English.3．Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that ________.A．singing is the best way to learn a languageB．the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the wordsC．a listen­repeat method is very effective for any language learnerD．Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other4．In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?A．A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.B．A child is going to have his first music lesson.C．A student is going to learn a new English song.D．An American is going to learn some Chinese.【语篇导读】本文主要描述一项关于音乐和外语习得之间关系的研究。

I may still be 1 with asking for help, but I try to accept. Furthermore, I will even 2 help and when myoffers are refused, I am 3 willing to walk away. And all these changes came from a disaster on an island.Sometimes a person's independence is a 4 of pride, daring, stubbornness and luck. I used to be too 5 since I was little. I was once a traveler who never asked for 6 , choosing instead to struggle with maps and signsuntil I found my way.Then one day on the island of Koh Phangan, in Thailand, everything 7 • I was swim ming in the ocean with Sean, my fiance, when he was 8 by a box jellyfish （箱形水母）.He 9 within three minutes, 25 years old.

Actually, the person who needs help the most is usually the last person to ask for it.

Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety.Still, the firefighter's first words "You need to come up here to the Stillwater River" made me catch my breath, and his follow—up words gave me relief'11: <4Your son is OK."When I got to the river, I immediately saw the fire truck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped^2 with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine.I hurried over to him. “You OK? ” I asked."Yeah, ” was all he said. But my eyes begged for an explanation^2,. I didn't get it from my son, however, who tended to play _his_ cards _close_to his_vest.The story was this: A woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore.In an age in which the word "hero" is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son. The teens are stubborn and self-centred, but that doesn't mean they have no desire to do good.Still shocked by my son's daring, I drove him home. Along the way, I tried to dig ou^1 some more information from him一but he had precious^5little to say. The only words he said were “What's for supper? ”I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been.

It starts in the Horn of Africa, in Ethiopia, where the coffee tree probably originated in the province of Kaffa （喀法）. There are various fanciful but unlikely stories surrounding the discovery of coffee beans. One story has it that an Ethiopian goatherd （牧羊人）was amazed at the lively behavior of his goats after they chewed red coffee berries. What we know with more certainty is that the succulent （多汁的）outer cherry flesh was eaten by slaves taken from present day Sudan into Yemen and Arabia, through the great port of its day, Mocha, now synonymous （同义的）with coffee. Coffee was certainly being cultivated in Yemen by the 15th century and probably much earlier than that.Mocha was also the main port for the one sea route^1 to Mecca, and was the busiest place in the world at the time. But the Arabs had a strict policy not to export any fertile beans, so that coffee could not be cultivated anywhere else. The coffee bean is the seed of the coffee tree, but when stripped of its outer layers it becomes infertile. The race to make off with （夺走）some live coffee trees or beans was eventually won by the Dutch in 1616.Initially^2, the authorities^3 in Yemen actively encouraged coffee drinking as it was considered preferable to the extreme side effects of Kat （the Arabic tea）, a shrub whose buds and leaves were chewed as a stimulant （提木申物）. The first coffeehouses were opened in Mecca and were called 4t kaveh kanes,\ They quickly spread throughout the Arab world and became successful places where chess was played, gossip^4 was exchanged, and singing, dancing and music were enjoyed. They were luxuriously decorated and each had an individual character. Nothing quite like the coffee —house had existed before: a place where society and business could be conducted in comfortable surroundings and where anyone could go, for the price of coffee.The Arabian coffeehouses soon became centres of political activity and were suppressed. Coffee and coffeehouses were subsequently banned several times over the next few decade^1, but they kept reappearing. Eventually a solution was found when coffeehouses and coffee were taxed^5.Nowadays, this new found "coffee culture,5 has started to spread to the rest of the world. To those countries with great coffee traditions of their owri^1, such as Italy, Germany, and Scandinavia, new converts were introduced to the pleasures of good coffee. Today it is possible to find good coffee in every major city of the world, from London to Sydney to Tokyo; tomorrow the world will drink more and more importantly, better coffee.5.The legend mainly tells us ________ .A.when coffee was foundB. where coffee was foundC. how coffee is planted D ・ what coffee is used for6.Mocha, a name of coffee, was originally _________ .A. a person who found coffeeB.the name of a great portC. a plant of red berriesD.the place where coffee was found7.Why were the people in Yemen encouraged to drink coffee?A.Because coffee can help people keep energy.B.Because people preferred coffee to Kat.C.Because Kat*s leaves were not easily chewed.D.Because Kat was not so healthy as coffee.8.Which of the following is NOT the reason why coffeehouses were popular?A.Cheapness.B.

Convenience.9.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Coffee has a long history but nobody can tell when it was found.B.Mocha was a port where coffee was exported before 1616.C.Coffeehouses were firstly built for political reasons.D.London, Sydney and Tokyo are also the hometown of coffee as Italy and Germany.W重点单词1.route n.路线；路途2.initially adv.开始；最初；起初3.authority n.权力；当权4.gossip n.流言蜚语；闲言碎语5.tax vt.对.... 征稅；向... 课稅P重点短语1.over the next few decades在之后的几十年中2.of onet own 属于某人自己的III •短文改错（建议用时7 ）[2017•皖南丿I校联考]It was when we students were taking final exam that I clearly remember something happens last term.

The high-powered delegation assured IOC members that Beijing was the safe choice because it had already proved it could stage^2 the Games and said it would take winter sports into the backyard of the world's most populated country.Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a letter of appreciation^3 to President Thomas Bach on Friday evening, expressing thanks to IOC for its trust and support in selecting Beijing together with Zhangjiakou as the host of the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.The British Olympic Association (BOA) congratulated Beijing winning the bid and believed the Chinese capital will host a "great" Winter Olympics.The capital promises a sustainable (可持续的)Olympics by taking full advantage of2 existing venues.

The thunder of their hooves （蹄）rings in the riders' ears, nearly drowning ouf x the cheering of the crowd. After three or four minutes of suspense, one horse crosses the finish line first, winning the Melbourne Cup and earning a place in history.The horses that compete in the Melbourne Cup—one of the world's most famous horseraces—were fated to race. Bred for speed, these horses are the few that were singled out as having potential to become champions.Preparing a racehorse to compete requires a team. A horse*s owner manages the team and decides which races to enter. A trainer determines the racehorse's diet and exercise. Regular exercise makes a horse less likely to be injured, but overtraining tires the horse. A groomer （动物美容师）cares for the racehorse and reports any problems he discovers to the trainer. And of course, no horserace could be run without a rider. These riders train for long hours and travel constantly from one race to another. They need to make a strategy^1, adapt tc^2 changing conditions and communicate with their horse to guide it to victory.Australia's most famous horserace, the Melbourne Cup, is 3,200 meters of pure excitement. Each year 300 or 400 horses are nominated （提名），but only 24 can run. The competitors are chosen based on a number of factors, but winners of certain races qualify automatically^2.Each racehorse receives a handicap—a certain weight it must carry to give each horse an equal chance of winning— two months before the race. Originally^3, horses that seemed likely to win were assigned larger handicaps. But the rules have changed, reducing the handicap for previous winners.The first Melbourne Cup in 1861 drew a crowd of 4,000 spectators, and the race*s popularity has grown since then. Held on the first Tuesday of November, the cup has become a four—day festival with fine food and entertainment.The Melbourne Cup began during a gold rush as a form of entertainment for the rich. Today it still attracts society's upper class. They come dressed in their finest to enjoy the event in comfort.But anyway it's all about the race—the effort of horses and riders, the suspense and the thrill^5 of victory.5.What can be learned about the horses in the Melbourne Cup?A.They are all winners of a certain race.B.They are raised and trained by joint effort.C.They are chosen from ordinary horses.D.Their fates are determined by their trainers.6.The racehorses are given handicaps so that _________ .A.they will weigh the sameB.previous winners are unlikely to winC.the race will be fair enoughD.they will be more adaptable to the race7.It can be learned from the passage that _________ .A.the spectators of the Melbourne Cup must dress wellB.the Melbourne Cup was intended for wealthy peopleC.the winner of the Melbourne Cup can earn a large fortuneD.the Melbourne Cup is the best-known horserace worldwide8.The passage can most probably be found in _________ .A. a sports journalB. a business newspaperC.an academic paperD. a health magazineW重点单词1.strategy n.策略；计策；行动计划2.automatically adv.自动地3.originally adv.原来地；最初地4.assign vt.分配（某物）5.thrill n.震撼；兴奋P重点短语1 • drown out 压过；盖过；没过2.adapt to 适应于.......Ill •短文改错（建议用时8’）[2017•石家庄质检]I am sorry to know that you're having so a bad time nowadays.

I looked at and held several puppies （小狗），wondering which to choose. Then I met Maggie. She looked at me with the saddest eyes I had ever seen, then laid her head on my shoulder and slept. I immediately decided to save her!Maggie adjusted4 well. I, however, was still adjusting. One night, thoughts of losing everything rushed through my head again. So depressed was I that I felt the only solution was to end my life. With a bottle of medicine in one hand and Maggie on my lap, I took the pills. Through my tear—filled eyes I looked down at Maggie to tell her I was sorry. The look on her face Iwill never be able to explain^5.

阅读理解Q:Mr。

Paul Tough,what made you want to write How Children Succeed？A：In 2008,I published my first book，Whatever It Takes。

Later I realized I still had a lot of questions about what really happens in childhood。

How Children Succeed is an attempt to answer those questions：Why do certain children succeed while other children fail？Why is it，exactly，that poor children are less likely to succeed?What can we all do to guide more kids toward success？Q:What did you learn about kids growing up in poverty（贫穷)？A：The traditional wisdom is that the big problem for low—income kids is that they don’t get enough cognitive stimulation(认知激励) early on.In fact，what seems to have more of an effect is the chaotic environments that many low—income kids grow up in。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(建议用时16′)A[2016·北京高考]December 15,2014 Dear Alfred，I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150＋at 17, I'm anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD (注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time P1.However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed W1. In high school, I became curious about P2the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five rele v ant W2pre-college courses.While I was exploring my curiosity W3，my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn't. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently W4，I'm learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your videos. This has given me a purpose.Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam W5ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.Thank you. You've given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I'm doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.This is why you're saving my life.Yours，Tanis 篇章导读：本文是一封书信，属于应用文。

ANearly 19 percent of teachers of color (有色人种教师) left their jobs after the 2014-2015 school year. Some left for personal reasons like taking care of their families. But 50 percent said they left because they were dissatisfied with their employment situation, such as poor working conditions, student discipline problems and large class sizes. Thus, taking immediate measures to improve it is our top priority.For years, researchers have proved the benefits of increasing the share of minority teachers in schools, especially as our public school system has turned to one that is made up mostly of minority students. Teachers of color, who are more likely than their white counterparts to choose to work in racially diverse (多种多样的) schools, offer particular benefits to their students. Graduation rates increase among minority students when they are taught by racially similar educators, research shows. They can also serve as positive role models, and their presence reduces the chance of racial discrimination at school.The Shanker Institute report suggests that the rate of minority teacher hiring is not the whole problem. The problem is what happens after these teachers enter the classroom. These teachers often work in high-poverty rural schools. They are more likely to have less-desirable working conditions.Diversity is a key component to equality and opportunity. Where there’s a diverse teaching workforce, all kids thrive. So solutions must be found at once to turn this trend around. Firstly, schools should develop mentorship programs that support minority teachers once they are in the classroom. Secondly, more money should be spent in improving working conditions in these schools. Of course, school headmasters should also be evaluated on their ability to retain teachers of color.1.Among teachers of color leaving their jobs, half of them quit because_______ .A. they had to take care of their childrenB. they had to move to other placesC. they eventually found better-paid jobsD. their employment situation was unsatisfactory2.Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph?A. The solutions to increasing graduation rates among minority students.B. The benefits of increasing the share of minority teachers in schools.C. The reasons for teachers of color leaving their jobs in many schools.D. The ways to decrease the possibility of racial discrimination at school.3.How did the author feel when writing the passage?A. He felt angry about the government.B. He was satisfied with the present situation.C. He felt it urgent to solve the problem.D. He didn’t care about diverse teaching workforce.BEverybody hates it, but everybody does it. A recent report said that 40%of Americans hate tipping. In America alone, tipping is a $ 16 billion-a-year industry. Consumers acting politely ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service. Tips should not exist. So why do they? The common opinion in the past was that tips both rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings of inequality. And also, tipping makes for closer relations. It went without saying that the better the service, the bigger the tip.But according to a new research from Cornell University, tips no longer serve any useful function. The paper analyzes numbers they got from 2,547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants. The connection between larger tips and better service was very weak. Only a tiny part of the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service.Tipping is better explained, by culture than by the money people spend. In America, the custom came into being a long time ago. It is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip at least 15% could well mean dissatisfaction from the customers. Hairdressers can expect to get l5%-20%, and the man who delivers your fast food $ 2. In Europe,tipping is less common. In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on at all. Only a few have really taken to tipping. According to Michael Lynn, the Cornell papers’ author, countries in which people are more social or outgoing tend to tip more. Tipping may reduce anxiety about being served by strangers. And Mr. Lynn says, ＂In America, where people are expressive and eager to mix up with others, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. Tipping well is a chance to show off.＂4.This passage is mainly about_______.A. different kinds of tipping in different countriesB. the relationship between tipping and customC. the origin and present meaning of tippingD. most American people hate tipping5.Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase ＂caught on＂?A. become popular.B. been hated.C. been stopped.D. been permitted6.Among the following situations, in your opinion, who is likely to tip most?A.A Frenchman just quarreled with the barber who did his hair badly in New York.B. An American just had a wonderful dinner in a well- known restaurant in New York.C.A Japanese businessman asked for a pizza delivery from a Pizza Hut in New York.D.A Chinese student enjoyed his meal in a famous fast food restaurant in New York.7.We can infer from this passage that_______.A. tipping is no longer a good way to satisfy some customers themselvesB. tipping is especially popular in New YorkC. tipping in America can make service better nowD. tipping has something to do with people’s characterCSquatting down on my disorganized closet floor, I looked eagerly through my albums for the picture of my grandma’s Christmas lights. I searched so long and so eagerly that I lost al l feeling in the legs. Ignoring the pain, I went on with my search, because finding the picture was worth3it.My beloved grandma on my dad’s side, who passed away almost four years ago, would decorate the Christmas trees like it was her job. Each year she would decorate an ornate, 12-foot-tall, shining tree in her living room, and most years she would have an additional pink tree, palm tree, colored- light tree, white-light tree, bedroom tree, etc. The ideas varied year after year, but the theme was always the same: Let There Be Light.For the outside of the house, my grandma hired people to come and string thousands of lights through the trees in her yard. It wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t cheap, but it was a labor of love. People in the small town came and parked their kid-packed cars on the street, gazing at the thousands upon thousands of shining lights year after year. They brought us magic, which was grandma’s legacy. That is the family act I am supposed to follow for the rest of my life. It’s what I’m dying to recreate and pass on to my own kids. I feel so much pressure because no one is capable of doing it—and of doing it correctly—but me.So, it’s me and only me, each year unfastening countless strings of lights, winding them round a 10-foot, prickly tree, and sending the lights to the highest branches. Though I’m only ever just scratching the surface of grandma’s magic, I uncover a little more each year. I still haven’t found that picture of my grandma’s Christmas lights, but I know it exists, and I will find it, even if it means losing all feeling in my legs.z*xxk8.Why did the author suffer from pain?A. Because she was missing her beloved grandma.B. Because she had trouble finding grandma’s lights.C. Because she kept an uncomfortable gesture for long.D. Because she broke her legs while searching for something.9.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. Grandma’s Christmas trees.B. The atmosphere of Christmas.C. The beauty of Christmas trees.D.

ElliQ is a small desktop device that consists of a domed (拱形的) ＂body＂ and a separate detachable (可拆卸的) screen.Created in collaboration with Swiss designer Yves Behar, the robot is able to encourage a degree of social engagement. Similar to home assistants like the Amazon Echo, people can simply talk to it, and there are visual clues that could be particularly helpful for those with hearing difficulties.A key purpose of ElliQ is to act as an easy platform to access existing services such as social media, and messaging programs. For example, the device could alert the users that their grandchild has posted a new photo on Facebook, show it to them on the screen.ElliQ can recommend activities voluntarily. It might ask if you’re interested in watching a video, for instance, or suggest a walk. It can also act as reminder to take medication.Having a robot constantly offer suggestions could obviously get annoying, so the device uses machine learning to tailor these suggestions to individual preferences. If a suggestion is met with a positive response once, ElliQ might try it again. If not, it might change for a different tack.12.Which of the following statements is NOT true?5A.A robot companion for older people will strongly advise them to participate in digital andphysical activities to be healthy.B.
