必修3 Unit 1 Festivals around the world李仕才一、阅读理解AGregory Talley used to sleep in a park or under a bridge. The 50-year-old has been homeless for more than 10 years."It is hard. It's hard to live homeless. You filled every day trying to find out where you are going to get something to eat. If I hadn't found wonderful Fairfax County Kennedy Shelter, I wouldn't know where I would be by now. I might be dead," Talley said.The Kennedy Shelter is one of the facilities New Hope Housing provides for homeless people.Pam Michell has devoted her life to making the lives of this vulnerable (易受伤的)population better as executive director of the non-profit organization."I went to Africa in 1985. And I saw a huge amount of poverty, but I saw so much hope. And I decided that I should try to do something that would bring hope to people," Michell said.When Michell began working with New Hope Housing 25 years ago, its three shelters had about 80 beds. Now, it has 350 beds and serves about 1,500 homeless people every year. She has expanded the program beyond just providing beds for the night. "We do outreach(拓展), we do prevention, we do permanent housing, we do transitional housing. We have an education program with all sorts of different things to move people to end their homelessness," she said,"Our Out of Poverty program is not just about money. It's about you could be spiritually poor, you could be relationship poor ... you could be educationally poor. So it is focusing on how you get out of this poverty that has brought you to being homeless." The program tries to teach the shelter residents self-reliance (自立) and work values, and includes courses on planning and personal responsibility."l learned I still have opportunities to change it and I can change it," said shelter resident Lewis Webster. "It is just about going forth in doing necessary work to doit. I mean if you really want better, you would do better and that's the frame of mind of me now."1.

Unit 1 Festivals around the worldⅠ阅读理解ABack home from the Navy,I started school at Greenville College in my hometown of Illinois. I’d been out of high school for four years,but my high school headmaster,Mr.Gardner,invited me to a Valentine’s Day dance party at school. The thought of seeing my former teachers was exciting. So I agreed.When Friday came, I cleaned up,dressed up and drove to the high school gym. I chatted with my teachers and approached Mr. Gardner to thank him before leaving. Just then, the band started playing and a young girl stood up to sing. One look at her and I was crazy—I had never seen such a beautiful girl!I asked Mr. Gardner who she was,and he answered,“That’s Marilyn Riley,Cut Riley’s daughter.”I was shocked to say the least. They lived just around the corner from me. I walked across the gym floor to introduce myself,“Hi,I’m Jack Joseph.”“I know who you are,”was her nottoofriendly response.“Would you like to dance?” I asked. “No!I’m working,” she shot back.“Can I call you next week for a movie date?” I asked. “No” was her response.For the next month I phoned,trying to set up a date. She always had the same answer:No. Then one rainy afternoon in March as I was driving home after basketball practice,I saw Marilyn, walking with no umbrella,no raincoat and no hat. I pulled alongside her and asked if she needed a ride,half expecting her to say no. Instead,she stepped over the roadside and sat down on the seat next to me. It was only a few blocks to her house,but after pulling into her driveway we talked for 45 minutes. It was magic from then on.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

Unit 1 Festivals around the world李仕才一、阅读理解I'm sometimes told,“You have to make your own luck.If you don't try something,how can you succeed?”This is very true for competitions.There are people who regularly take part in all sorts of competitions with great enthusiasm.These people are nicknamed compers.The motivation for being a comper is obvious:it's about being a winner and being rewarded with a prize.These prizes can be small or large:from a box of chocolates to a new car,a trip of a lifetime around the world,or even a new house.Isn't that worth competing for?Of course competitions that offer money prizes attract entry from millions of people,making the odds of winning very unlikely.But one man who has been lucky is a retired lecturer from the UK called Martin Dove.He is a serial comper and has managed to bag prizes such as a yacht and a racehorse.Martin says:“I've been a comper for 40 years.It's like admitting some addiction,isn't it?”He gets respect from other compers and also admits,“Some people ha ve called me the Master of Comping,the King of Comping,the Guru of Comping.But it's just a word,just a phrase.It's just because I frequently appeared in the media.”For many,winning remains a dream,but they continue to try their luck as there's always a small chance that they might succeed.But what if you do win? Then you have to ask:how am I going to spend all that money? Some people say that “money can't buy you happiness”.What do you think?1.What does the author mean by“This is very true for competitions”?A.Competitions bring people luck.B.One must be in a competition to win it.C.Trying gets people to succeed.D.People naturally compete with each other.2.Who are compers?A.Those always standing out in competitions.B.Those addicted to entering competitions.C.Those often entering competitions for prizes.D.Those competing for others' recognition.3.What does the underlined word“odds”probably mean?A.Possibility. B.Investment.C.Importance. D.Advantage.4.What do Martin's words suggest?A.Any job can offer opportunities.B.He has attracted considerable attention.C.Persistence is the key to his success.D.He has set a good example to others.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,阐述了一种社会现象:有些人总是热衷于参加各种形式的比赛活动,目的就是获奖。

题组层级快练11 Unit 1 Festivals around the worldⅠ. 阅读理解American psychologist and writer Andrew Solomon won the 2014 Wellcome Book Prize on Tuesday for his “Far From the Tree: a dozen kinds of love” about raising unusual children ranging from talents to those suffering from autism(自闭症) and reading disability.The prize, which is given to a book centered on medicine and health, is in its fifth year and carries a 30,000-pound ($50,500) cash award.

For such work to be recognised by a prize that is specifically focused on medicine and health indicates the increasing openness to the questions of what makes up health, and what the proper limits are for medicine.”1.
