Unit1 Knowingme,knowingyouⅠ.阅读理解AThroughout my twenties I told myself that I would give up smoking one day.That seemed comfortably far away to prevent me panicking too much,but also definitive enough to fool myself into thinking I’d give up before it killed me.But then my thirties came and went and nothing happened.Then,my aunt died from lung cancer.I had a moment of fear:unless I decide to stop smoking,there will be a high probability that at some point in my life I’ll have a cough or some other symp tom(症状) and it will be cancer or a similar awful disease.Still,I didn’t act.But I couldn’t help beginning a good,hard think about my smoking and what I was going to do about it.The more I thought about it,the more I questioned what I really loved about it.Then came the sudden realization:I was an addict—I was making all the kind of excuses that the alcohol and drug addicts made.I decided to quit.But after a few days when out for drinks with friends,I yielded to temptation(诱惑) and had one.The next day I bought a pack of cigarettes and my very first quit attempt was well and truly a failure.But I learned from this and decided the nept would be better planned.I investigated different options online,and met with a smoking cessation(戒烟) nurse at my local surgery who used some techniques to change my thinking about smoking.With all the support around me,I felt so confident about my ability to quit.I actually looked forward to the date I’d set to stop.That was nearly 10 years ago and I haven’t looked back.Of cou rse,in the early days it wasn’t always plain sailing.There were times when I was weak and times when I nearly slipped up.But I was prepared for this and didn’t let it throw me off.Stopping smoking was one of the best things I’ve ever done.1.What can we know about the author from the first two paragraphs?A.He was ignorant of cigarettes.B.He cared little about his health.C.He lacked motivation for working.D.He didn’t make up his mind to quit smoking.2.What inspired the author to make the first quit attempt?A.His self-analysis.B.Worsening health.C.Symptoms of lung cancer.D.Loss of a family member.3.What does the underlined phrase “yielded to” in paragraph 4 mean?A.Came up with.B.Gave in to.C.Stepped out of.D.Broke away from.4.Which can best describe the second attempt?A.It was fruitless.B.It lasted for 10 years.C.It was a determined attempt.D.It was abandoned halfway.BPeople who give,live longer,studies have shown.Now,a new study by University of Michigan researchers shows that why people volunteer—not whether they volunteer—is what really counts.For the study,Konrath and colleagues analyzed data collected in and aiming at the same random samples of 3,376people.Overall,they found that just 2.3 percent of those who once worked as volunteers had died,compared to 4.3 percent ofnon-volunteers.They further found that how much people volunteered mattered as well—only 1.8 percent of regular volunteersdied,compared with 2.5 percent of occasional volunteers.But what really made a difference we re people’s motives for volunteering.The researchers asked people to rate how important they found various reasons for volunteering,and they found that the more important people rated reasons such as feeling pity for people in need,the more likely they were to be alive.Those who rated motives related to personal benefit as more important were morelikely to have died,and just as likely to die as those who didn’t volunteer at all.These reasons included volunteering because they enjoyed the social contact,to escape their own problems,or to explore their own strengths.Konrath says the current findings suggest it may be a poor idea to encourage people to volunteer because it’s good forthem.“Volunteering is increasingly being encouraged in schools and organizat ions.Some groups say that it’s okay to want benefits for yourself,and encourage people to think of volunteering as an ee groups emphasize the health benefits received through volunteering.” Konrath added,“Of course,it’s reasonable for volunteers to eselves.But the potential health benefits of volunteering are significantly reduced if self-benefit becomes a person’s main motive.”5.What does the new study mainly find?A.Whether we volunteer decides our well-being.B.Why we volunteer has an impact on our health.C.How we volunteer makes sense to others.D.How often we volunteer makes a difference.6.How did the researchers do the research?A.By analyzing statistics.B.By reviewing previous studies.C.By doing lab e samples.7.Which of the following motives will probably benefit the volunteers most?A.Making more friends.B.Developing ability in practice.C.Solving personal problems.D.Helping people in trouble.8.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.Practical suggestions on further studies.B.Potential applications of the research method.C.A further explanation of the current findings.D.A reasonable doubt about the research findings.Ⅱ.七选五Hilde’s father was a reporter.He often took her to work with him,and she developed a strong interest in news stories and reporting. 1 She did the writing,her sister Izzy took pictures,and her father helped her organize and print the newspaper.Hilde wanted to cover big stories in her town.Following the rules her father had taught her,she researched and reported stories in

on Hilde.2 Some people criticized her parents for allowing her to report on something as unpleasant as a murder.Others criticized Hilde for “pretending to be a reporter”.Some people even suggested she should be playing with dolls. 3 She responded with a YouTube video.“I never began my newspaper so tha t people would think I was cute,” she said.“I want to be taken seriously.”That wasn’t the last time Hilde had trouble getting people to take her seriously.Sometimes,it was because of her age.Other times,it was because she was a girl. 4 Hilde continued reporting and her activities as a reporter have made her famous.Now Hilde has published a book telling her own story and the challenges she has faced.Some of those challenges came from Hilde herself,struggling to figure out who she was as she

必修3 Unit 1 高考试卷分块专练(安排3课时作业)练(一)阅读理解提速练(限时35分钟)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AGet Ready to Read!National Education Association (NEA) hopes to convey (传递) during this year's Read Across America celebration.The event is held on March 2 to honor the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. But the festivities (庆典活动) aren't limited to one day. From February 27 to March 4, students, teachers and families nationwide will be in the joy of reading.Read Across America began 21 years ago as a way to get kids excited about reading.“You have this magical thing happen when an adult sits with a kid and turns the pages, and reads in a funny voice, and you laugh together,” Lily Eskelsen Garca, the NEA president, told TFK. “The key point is making it fun, not for the next test, not because it's something they have to memorize or something they have to do.”Kids can celebrate Read Across America with any book they like. But in honor of Dr. Seuss, they might want to pick up his most recent published work, What Pet Should I Get? It was discovered 20 years after Dr. Seuss's death and published in July of 2015, making fans of the author delighted.Like other Dr. Seuss's books, What Pet Should I Get?includes rhymes (韵文), humor and familiar Seussian illustrations (插图).In it, a brother and a sister visit a pet shop and have trouble choosing just one animal to bring home.Anyone can take part in Read Across America.All it takes is getting a book or a few loved ones and sharing the joy of reading.语篇解读:本文是应用文。
Unit 3 Travel journalⅠ阅读理解AAbout six months ago, I was working in a job where I sat at a computer in an office for 50 hours or so each week. My best friend, Dusty,also sat in an office at a computer all day. We often talked about what a waste it seemed to be, spending our time inside in front of a computer all day long. I ended up leaving my job, and so did Dusty. Neither one of us are sitting in an office all day. Last week, Dusty came to my home and declared,“I’m going to travel.”Of course, traveling is exciting. It’s getting to experience new things, getting to be a slightly different version of ourselves, but I think the point is more about the mindset(心态) that it allows for than the actual reality that comes with it. Waking up every day with a sense of excitement for the unknown. Approaching each interaction during the day with a sense of wonder. Not thinking about yesterday or tomorrow, and just about whatever’s right in front of you.However, the thing is, we don’t need to be in transit to be able to approach our days this way. It is possible for me to be living my normal life and be excited for the unknown of the day. I meet new people and do new things every day. Yes, they might be in Santa Monica, a few blocks from my apartment, but what’s the difference between a new person here and a new person in Australia?I read an Alan Watts quote recently, and it goes as follows:“If I ask you what you did, saw, heard, smelled, touched and tasted yesterday, I am likely to get nothing more than the thin, sketchy outline of the few things that you noticed, and of those only what you thought worth remembering... But suppose you could answer,‘It would take me forever to tell you, and I am much too interested in what’s happening now.’”Our generation seems to be eager to expand our horizons(视野). But I agree with Alan Watts. There is a lot of opportunity for horizonexpansion wherever we happen to be. I think I’ll wake up tomorrow, walk down the street, and put on my adventurer’s cap.【解题导语】旅行之所以吸引人是因为它可以让人们探索未知,但是并不一定非要去旅行才可以达到这个目的。

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 sucha 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.讲述了作者海军退伍之后受母校校长邀请参加情人节舞会,遇到一位女孩并与其交往的故事.4、Why did Jack decide to attend the party?A、The party was held to welcome him back home.B、Marilyn would be introduced to him at the party.C、He could meet some of his former teachers there.D、They gathered there to celebrate Valentine’s Day.C解析:细节理解题.根据第一段的最后两句可以看出,由于在情人节舞会上可以见到原来的老师,所以作者决定参加舞会.所以选C项.5、What was the author’s attitude towards the party?A、Casual.B、Formal.C、Passive.D、Worried.B解析:推理判断题.根据第二段首句的描述可以看出,作者对这次舞会的态度是很正式的(formal).所以选B项.6、We can infer from the text that________、A、Jack once served in the army after high schoolB、it took Jack 45 minutes to drive Marilyn homeC、Jack and Marilyn were familiar with each otherD、it was Marilyn’s cold attitude that interested JackA解析:推理判断题.根据第一段的“Back home from the Navy...I’d been out of high school for four years”可以推断,作者在高中毕业后去海军服役了4年,退役后就读于家乡的大学.所以选A项.7、How would the story most probably develop in the end?A、Marilyn would fall in love with Jack.B、Jack would make great achievements in college.C、Marilyn would become a famous singer.D、Jack would have frequent conflicts with Marilyn.A解析:推理判断题.根据末段最后两句可以看出,作者和这位女孩的关系有很大改善.特别是从最后一句“从那以后(我们之间的关系)很神奇”可以推断出,故事结局与两人的关系有关,而四个选项的叙述之中,只有选项A提及二人关系.所以选A项.C(2018·合肥高三质检)May Day, the first day of May, is celebratedas a spring festival in many countries. It marks the approach of summer.The English developed their May Day festival from the Romanfestival called Floralia. In the festival of Floralia, the Romans gatheredflowers to honor the goddess of spring, Flora. In the Middle Ages, MayDay became the favorite holiday of many English villages. People gatheredflowers to decorate their homes and churches, sang spring songs and chosea king and a queen of May. Villagers danced around a tall pole fixed upright in the ground, called a maypole, each holding the end of a ribbon attached to the top of the pole. They tied the ribbons around the pole until it was covered with bright colors. They collected dew(露水)on May Day morning and washed their faces with it because they believed that the dew on the day had the magic power to regain youth.Nowadays in Britain people no longer attach great importance to the day, but in some towns and villages people still celebrate it by choosing the May Queen and dancing around the maypole. May Queen is a girl selected as the most beautiful girl on May Day. She is usually crowned with flowers and often driven in procession through the street. In the United States, the day has never been celebrated with the same enthusiasm as in Britain. But in many American towns and cities, children celebrate the day with dancing and singing. They often gather flowers in handmade paper baskets and hang them on the doorknobs of the homes of their friends’ and neighbors’ on May Day morning. At May Day parties, children select May Queen, dance around the maypole, and sing May Day songs.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文.主要介绍了欧洲国家的传统节日“五朔节”.8、What do we know about the May Day in Britain in the Middle Ages?A、People dressed in bright colors.B、People celebrated it with enthusiasm.C、People presented flowers to the goddess of spring.D、People stayed at home instead of going to churches.B解析:细节理解题.根据第二段内容特别是第三、四句可知,在中世纪,英国人通过举行各种活动,热情地庆祝五朔节,故B项正确.9、Why did people wash their faces with dew on May Day?A、To bring good luck.B、To become prettier.C、To get magic power.D、To get young again.D解析:细节理解题.根据第二段最后一句可知,人们在五朔节用露水洗脸,是因为他们相信露水在当天有恢复青春的魔力,故D项正确.10、Paragraph 3 is mainly developed________、A、by comparisonB、by spaceC、by processD、by classificationA解析:写作方法题.根据第三段可知,该段是通过比较美国和英国如何庆祝该节日展开的,故A项正确.11、Nowadays, many American children celebrate May Day with lots of activities EXCEPT____、A、hanging flowers on the doorknobs of their friends’homesB、selecting May Queen and dancing around the maypoleC、gathering flowers in handmade paper baskets and singing May Day songsD、collecting dew on May Day morning and washing facesD解析:细节理解题.根据第三段倒数第一、二句可知,如今在美国,孩子们通过将花篮挂在邻居家或朋友家的门把手上、选择“五朔节女王”、围绕五月柱跳舞、演唱五朔节的歌曲来庆祝这一节日,故排除A、B、C项;根据第二段最后一句可知,用露水洗脸是中世纪英国人的做法,而不是现在美国儿童的做法,故选D项.D(2018·合肥高三调研)The effects of coffee consumption on healthhave long been a subject of conflict and uncertainty. Since the 1980s,some have spoken out against coffee as it’s harmful to health, whileothers have welcomed coffee for its supposed benefits to health.According to a scientific report, mild coffee consumption, three to five cups per day, can be taken as a healthy dietary pattern, along with other healthful behavior. The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinson’s disease.According to Dr. Donald Hensrud of Mayo Clinic, high consumption of coffee has health risks. Dr. Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. Some studies said that drinking two or more cups of coffee daily can actually increase the risk of heart disease in these people.According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr. Gregory Marcus, a doctor from the University of California, San Francisco, daily moderate consumption of caffeine, less than 4 cups, is not associated with these issues.Until the scientific community reaches a general agreement on the effects of coffee consumption on human health, it will be up to the individual to decide whether the benefits of drinking coffee are greater than the risks.When informed of these possible health benefits and harm of drinking coffee, Harwood, a high school student stated, “Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee, for the most part, coffee drinking sounds good for health. Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake.”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文.主要介绍了人们对咖啡是否有益于身体健康的几种不同观点.12、What is the people’s attitude towards the effects of coffee on health according to Paragraph 1?A、Disapproving.B、Tolerant.C、Doubtful.D、Mixed.D解析:细节理解题.根据第一段可知,长期以来,饮用咖啡是否对健康有影响一直是有争议的、不确定的.一些人认为咖啡有害于健康,一些人则认为其有益于健康.D项意为“混合的,混杂的”,符合题意,故D项正确.13、What does the underlined word “moderate”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A、Personal.B、Slight.C、Reasonable.D、Heavy.C解析:词义猜测题.根据该句中的“less than 4 cups”可知,每天饮用的咖啡不超过4杯.据此可以判断,该句是说,每天摄入适量的咖啡因对身体无害.据此可知,画线词意为“适度的”,故C项正确.14、What can we infer about Harwood?A、He’ll keep on drinking coffee.B、He loves his high school life.C、He often falls asleep in class.D、He has some health problems.A解析:推理判断题.根据文章最后两句“Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee, for the most part, coffee drinking sounds good for health. Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake.”可知,Harwood认为,尽管喝咖啡可能会带来一些负面影响,但大多数情况下,喝咖啡对健康有好处;更不用说,他需要咖啡来保持清醒.据此可以推断,他将继续喝咖啡,故A项正确.15、What would be the best title for the text?A、Why People Love Coffee?B、How Coffee Affects Health?C、The Culture of Coffee DrinkingD、The New Findings of Heart DiseaseB解析:标题归纳题.通读全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了人们对咖啡是否有益于身体健康的不同说法.有人认为适量饮用咖啡有益身体健康,有人却认为过量饮用咖啡会增加心脏病的发病率.据此可知,B项最适合作为本文的标题.Ⅱ七选五(2018·长郡中学实验班选拔考试)We eat in our cars,at our desks,on the go,and in front of the TV.We eat takeout,packaged and prepared meals.Why?Because it fits our not-enough-time-in-the-day lifestyles.1.________Well,I’m certainly not the first one to think it or say it, but we all need to slow down.Consumer trends around the globe show that over the past three decades people are purchasing more prepared foods at groceries and eating out more than ever before.It’s predicted that we’ll spend more at restaurants in the coming years.2.________However,we’re getting less healthy.While debates can be seen in different media over the food industry’s contribution to our growing waistlines and our health problems,the bottom line is this: 3.________We can choose to eat a fast-food lunch on the go.We can throw a frozen meal in the microwave and call it dinner.Wecan eat without thinking,in front of the tube,at our computers,and while driving a car.4、________Studies have shown meaningful links between family meals and kids’ mental and physical well-being.Eating sensibly doesn’t take much time or money,but it does require you to make a conscious decision to do so. Wrapped up in endless work,appointments and social activities,we often fail to enjoy a relaxing meal with our families.While it can be a challenge to always put healthy eating first,just do your best.Remember that the food you eat has a more significant effect on your health,weight and wellbeing than almost any other activities you do.5.________Every meal made at home—even just once or twice a week—is a step closer to a healthier body and a slower eating style.A、Lunch is the biggest calorie intake when it comes to eating out.B、Treat it with the importance that it deserves,but start small.C、Our food matches our lives.D、Purchase food locally and skip as many packaged items as you can.E、What we eat,where we eat and how we eat are all under our control.F、We’re consuming an increasing number of calories.G、We can devote an hour of the day to enjoying a meal with our families.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文.因为生活节奏加快,许多人习惯于吃快餐.事实上,快餐并不健康,并且消费很高;为此作者呼吁人们远离快餐,重视饮食习惯.1、C解析:根据空前内容可知,随着人们生活节奏的加快,人们的饮食习惯也发生了改变.所以,C项“我们的食物适应我们的生活(方式)”符合语境.2、F解析:根据空前的“It’s predicted that we’ll spend more at restaurants in the coming years.”可知,人们越来越多地在外面吃饭,摄入越来越多的卡路里,然而,人们在变得越来越不健康.故F项符合语境.3、E解析:根据空后内容可知,吃什么、在哪里吃以及怎样吃都由我们自己掌控.故E项符合语境.4、G解析:根据空后的“Studies have shown meaningful links between family meals and kids’mental and physical well-being.”可知,与家人一块吃饭有很大的好处.所以,G项符合语境.5、B解析:根据第五段内容可知,饮食对人们的健康很重要.作者建议人们尽量在家吃饭.又结合空后内容可知,把健康饮食放在第一位可从小事做起.B项符合语境.课时练2知识运用板块练Ⅰ完形填空(2018·陕西部分学校第一学期摸底检测)I’m sitting at the airport watching people in the last minutes before their loved ones arrive or depart.A woman is running in circles trying to gather family members together for a __1__.

Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·长沙模拟)The old Chinese saying “as happy as spending the New Year” might be outdated now in the busy modern world. The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together, like Christmas in the West. But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival, however, have weakened in practice.Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival. People thought the sputtering(爆裂) sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken security, noise and pollution factors into consideration.“In recent years, some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at the Spring Festival, surrendering to(屈从于) public demand. Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion,”said Zhou Xing, a folklore(民俗) researcher.“As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods, the New Year holiday is just like any other. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important thing. However, many families would like to eat out to save time and energy,”said Li Shunzhi, a resident of Harbin, Heilongjiang.“I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside. My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday, cleaning the house, buying holiday goods and decorating the house wit h paper cuttings. On New Year’s Eve, the whole family stays up to see the New Year in, and in the days to follow, a series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held. Without the ancient traditions, the holiday is nothing to us,”said Zhang Hui, from Hebei.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了中国春节的传统习俗在逐渐消失的现象以及人们的不同观点。

B(2018·合肥高三质检)May Day, the first day of May, is celebrated as a spring festival in many countries. It marks the approach of summer.The English developed their May Day festival from the Roman festival called Floralia. In the festival of Floralia, the Romans gathered flowers to honor the goddess of spring, Flora. In the Middle Ages, May Day became the favorite holiday of many English villages. People gathered flowers to decorate their homes and churches, sang spring songs and chose a king and a queen of May. Villagers danced around a tall pole fixed upright in the ground, called a maypole, each holding the end of a ribbon attached to the top of the pole. They tied the ribbons around the pole until it was covered with bright colors. They collected dew(露水)on May Day morning and washed their faces with it because they believed that the dew on the day had the magic power to regain youth.Nowadays in Britain people no longer attach great importance to the day, but in some towns and villages people still celebrate it by choosing the May Queen and dancing around the maypole. May Queen is a girl selected as the most beautiful girl on May Day. She is usually crowned with flowers and often driven in procession through the street. In the United States, the day has neverbeen celebrated with the same enthusiasm as in Britain. But in many American towns and cities, children celebrate the day with dancing and singing. They often gather flowers in handmade paper baskets and hang them on the doorknobs of the homes of their friends’and neighbor s’ on May Day morning. At May Day parties, children select May Queen, dance around the maypole, and sing May Day songs.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。
