限时规范练10 Unit 5 Rhythm B核心素养关键词:培养学生人与自然、探索未知自然的素养能力意识一、阅读理解AThe ruins of a huge Maya city have been discovered in Guatemala with the help of the remote sensing technique LiDAR,according to the NationalGeographic on Thursday.This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors,which can survey landscapes in 3D by bouncing laser pulses(激光脉冲) off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others.LiDAR is exceptionally useful for detecting archeologicalsites,as it gets through jungles and other features that hold up exploration on the ground.The technique has been the activator(催化剂)of many discoveries in recent years.For instance,major finds at Angkor,Cambodia and Caracol,Belize can explain what it did.This large lost city envelops sites like Tikal,Holmul,and Witzna—known for their temples and pyramids—but shows that these famous heritage areas are the tip of the iceberg of this lost urban network.Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve,more than 60,000 human-made features—homes,canals,highways,some of which can even reach the modernized standard—have been identified by an international cooperation of researchers headed by the PACUNAM Foundation,a Maya cultural and natural heritage organization.Those have experts rethinking the outlines and complexity of the Maya empire.These ancient people obviously established these imaginative cultures based on their known relics,but the new research has shown that the scale of this lost society is far beyond what experts had imagined.The findings will be explored in an hour-long documentary called“Lost Treasures of the Maya Snake Kings,” premiering(首映) Tuesday,February 6 on the National Geographic Channel.“There are entire cities we didn’t know about now showing up in the survey data,” said Francisco Belli,one of the lead archeologists on the project.“There are 20,000 square kilometres more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities there that we don’t know about,and we will push the frontiers,” he added.【篇章导读】本文是说明文。

Unit 5单元检测B——阅读理解提速练Ⅰ.阅读理解AIn 1957, Max Vernon Mathews wrote the first computer program called Music, which enabled a computer to create sound and play it back. He was then working as an engineer at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey. It enabled a large IBM computer to play a seventeen­second piece of music he had written.The computer was so slow that it took an hour to play the seventeen­second piece of music. So Mathews moved the work to a tape player to play the music at a normal speed. He later said that the sound quality of the musical notes was not great, but the technical importance of the music was huge.The science­fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke visited Bell Laboratories in the 1960s. He heard a computer “sing” the song DaisyBell on devices (设备) and learned about the programs developed by Mathews and other engineers. Clarke noted this technology in his book 2001: ASpaceOdyssey, which was later made into a movie.Mathews continued creating other versions of the Music program. He became interested in how computers could help musicians outside recording studios. The Groove program he developed was the first computer program made for live performances.He also developed an electronic device he called the Radio Baton, which looks like two drum sticks. It enables the user to control the speed and sound levels of orchestral music (管弦乐) played on a computer by moving the two sticks on a special electronic surface.Mathews said he believed modern musicians were not making full use of the power of computer music. He said a violin always sounds like a violin. But with his Music, the way a violin sounds is unlimited. He did not want computer sounds to replace live music, but he hoped computers would one day be considered serious instruments.A．To make his book into a movie.B．To help Mathews develop Music.C．To satisfy his own curiosity about music.D．To gather materials for his literary creation.解析：选D 推理判断题。

UNIT5 HUMANSANDNATURE组合练(一)Ⅰ.阅读理解(原创预测题)For the past 60 years,the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) has protected animals,restored lost habitats and advocated for policy changes that benefit wildlife.Now,the conservation organization is trying a new approach.This year,AWF launched the inaugural Benjamin Mkapa African Wildlife Photography Awards.The contest aims to reach a different audience.While photography competitions are nothing new,the AWF hopes that the exhibition of winning entries will encourage African people to take a more active role in conservation.Its CEO KadduSebunyasaid,“Africans need to take the responsibility for the conservation of their heritage.”Photographers of all ages and backgrounds,professional and amateur,were invited to submit to the competition.A judging panel,comprised of photographers,conservationists,activists andsafari guides,selected photos from 12 categories including “Art in Nature”“Coexistence and Conflict” and “Conservation Heroes”.The “Conservation Heroes” category had special appeal for Kenyan conservation photographer Anthony OchiengOnyango.“I realized there was a communication gap because most of what was being communicated was data in s cientific publications,” said Onyango,adding that images are a simple way for people to connect to compleany entries in the AWF competition,there’s only one 19-year-old Cathan Moore from South Africa among the category winners.There’s a lack of opportunity for young aspiring photographers on the continent.AWF is seeking grants and partnerships to enable more African people to participate neake nature photography competitions more accessible to those unable to pay or buy eera equipment,allowing people to use whatever camera they have and photograph wildlife in urban environments.Sebunya hopes that the competition can open up a dialogue about conservation and why it’s so important for Africa’s future.Manypeople in Africa look at conservation as a thing done by and for foreigners,saidSebunya.While he praised the work of international NGOs,he emphasized that it’s vital that African voices are heard and for local people to lead conservation efforts.1.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.African people take photographs in order to protect wildlife.B.AWF calls for people’s active involvement in wildlife conservation.C.AWF holds photography competition for the conservation of wildlife.D.A communication gap exists between ordinary people and wildlife conservation.2.Which of the following statements about the photography

professional and amateur photographers.D.People who are not skilled in photography can’t take part in the competition.3.According to Anthony OchiengOnyango,what caused the communication gap?A.People’s lack of desire to connect to the issue.B.The lack of scientific publications on the issue.C.People’s lack of professional camera equipment.D.The lack of simple and direct ways to present the issue.4.What’sSebunya’s attitude towards the competition?A.Appreciative.B.Cautious.C.Skeptical.D.Neutral.Ⅱ.七选五(浙江北斗星盟高三联考)The “WHO Quit Tobacco App” is the latest tobacco control initiative(倡议) by the WHO South-East Asia Region.It was started during WHO’s year-long “Commit to quit” campaign. 1DrPoonamKhetrapalSingh,RegionalDirector,WHO South-East Asia Region said that tobacco is deadly in every form and that new approaches such as the “Quit Tobacco App” are much needed to support people to give up tobacco. 2 However,they are unable to quit for various reasons.Every year,tobacco,which is the world’s l eading cause of preventable death,kills nearly eight million persons.In the WHO South-East Asia Region,tobacco claims 6 million lives.This region is among the largest producers and consumers of tobacco products.3 These users account for 29 percent of the population in the Region.Some additional challenges to tobacco control include the growing use of new and emerging products such as Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems(ENDS) or electronic cigarettes,sheesha(水烟) or hookah,among others.In order to monitor tobacco use prevalence(流行) and tobacco control policies,the Region has tobacco surveillance(监控). 4 Thailand was the first in Asia to carry out Plain Packaging.5 Countries such as Bangladesh,India,Indonesia,and Sri Lanka are working towards moving tobacco farmers away from growing tobacco.Bhutan,Nepal,Maldives,Sri Lanka and Timor—Leste have established and scaled-up tobacco cessation services.A.It wants to take control over tobacco consumption.B.These people may be

behavior.Sometimes,sources for precious new medicines are collected—and many more are almost certainly waiting to be discovered.What marine scientists didn’t expect to fi nd,however,was a three-foot-long tusk (长牙) from an eammoth (猛犸象) about 10,000 feet beneath the ocean.Researchers collected the sample off the California coast in July .“You start to expect the unexpected when e still stunned that we came on the ancient tus k of a mammoth,” Steven Haddock,a marine scientist at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute,said in a statement.Columbian mammoths,giant ice age mammals that stood some 14 feet tall,marched around what is now California as recently as some 11,000 years ago.Paleontologists (古生物学者) are still pulling their well-preserved bones out of tar in Los Angeles.How did a tusk find its way to the deep sea?It’sunknown,and likely will remain unknown.But land-dwelling creatures are sometimes washed out into deeper ocean regions,perhaps during great floods.The intense cold and pressure in the deep sea excellently preserved the tusk.The research team plans to examine the fossil carefully and even determine the long-dead creature’s age.They suspect it’s over 100,000 years old.“This deep-sea environment is different from those we have seen elsewhere,” mammoth paleontologist Daniel Fisher said in a statement,noting that most mammoth finds in the ocean are in much shallower waters.“We know so little about the deep ocean that pretty much anyone can find something new if they were doing something unique downthere,” Alan Leonardi,the director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Ocean Eashable last year.1.What made scientists feel unexpected about the deep sea?A.The sources for valuable medicines.B.The finding of an ivory from a mammoth.C.There are many never-seen-before animals.D.There used to be a mammoth in the deep ocean.2.What does the underlined word “stunned” mean in paragraph 2?A.Shocked.B.Interested.C.Devoted.D.Curious.3.Why was the tusk of the mammoth preserved well?A.Because there was no creatures’ disturbance.B.Because of the effort made by the research team.C.Because of the eent in the deep sea.D.Because the tusk had stayed under sea for a short time.BBack in ,the then-16-year-old Boyan Slat was looking forward to a thrilling day of diving off the coast of Greece on a school trip.That excitement turned to despair when he discovered that the colorful ocean life he had been expecting had nearly been replaced by a sea of plastic trash.Throughout the rest of his trip,there was a question that wouldn’t stop running through his mind:Why can’t we just clean it all up?Slat’s question became the basis of a high school research project in which he studied the critical danger plastic pollution poses to the oceans:how plastic makes it out to sea,and where it collects.He learned that plastic trash from rivers eventually finds its way into the oceans and gathers in one of five primary circulating currents,where a huge collection of trash already floats around.After devising a method of removing ocean plastic involving the use of solar-powered platforms with attached booms and the ocean’s own currents,Slat presented his ideas in a TEDx talk that spread rapidly.Soon,investors were opening their wallets in support of hisplan,leading him to found The Ocean Cleanup,of which he is currently the CEO.Slat’s plan to clean up the oceans received a lot of media attention but also some criticism.How,forinstance,could his team test these cleanup systems in real-world conditions without knowing the scale of the challenges they’d face?Wouldn’t it be more practical to cut off the flow of trash from the source instead of using potentially unreliable devices?Slat isn’t afraid of failure though,andindeed,the initial versions of his system suffered some technicalproblems.However,in ,his system successfully returned its first loads of plastic waste to shore,and the most recent version collected nearly 20,000 pounds of trash.Some of this was recycled and sold as eco-friendly sunglasses,as Slat’s goal is for the system to be able to pay for itself.The source of the pollution isn’t being ignored either.Slat’s company has developed a smaller system,called the Interceptor,that can gather plastic from rivers.Sofar,Interceptors have been used in three countries.According to Slat,these cleanup systems aren’t the only solution for the problem of sea plastic waste,for we must also rethink the way we deal with plastic globally.But in the meantime,a fiess we’ve already made is needed.4.What did Slat’s ocean trip lead to in ?A.A tourist boom.B.A research project.C.A scientific award.D.A scientific breakthrough.5.How did Slat’s cleanup approach work?A.By speeding up the flow of ocean’s currents.B.By breaking down the collection of plastic.C.By attaching knives to the bottom of ships.D.By combining a platform with ocean’s currents.6.What is the Interceptor designed for?A.Solving the problem where it starts.B.Collecting plastic from seas.C.Making plastic into sunglasses.D.Paying for Slat’s cleanup system.Ⅱ.七选五It is not only plants that grow in a garden. 1 It is more than just a practical eething that makes you a better person.You can be more resilient (有适应力的).Resilience is about how we react to changing circumstances with mental strength.In a garden,you will likely enjoy many successes,but you will eany failures,too.This will help you build your patience,learn to handle disappointments and gain confidence. 2You can build more skills.Becoming resilient involves being able to take a greater level of control over your own basic needs.3 You can build skills not only in gardening,but also in other skills like DIY,crafting,repair,cooking,and food preservation as you create and tend your garden and process the produce you grow.4 Gardening can allow you to reduce daily concerns as you can harvest a lot from your space.This leaves more time and space for other considerations.You learn to look beyond your own basicneeds and recognize the needs of others—human and non-human—in the world around you.You can become more compassionate (有同情心的).If you have a garden,you are in a fortunate position. 5 Recognizing the gifts that nature gives you can help to increase your compassion,to recognize that others are less fortunate,and to reach out to others in a wide range of ways.A.You can build up your body.B.Skills aren’t improved in a day.C.You can learn to look beyond your own needs.D.Growing your own food in your garden can help you grow,too.E.Then you’ll be more able to deal with whatever challenges life brings.F.As a gardener,you can build vital skills for higher levels of self-reliance.G.This is something that you will come to appreciate when you use your garden to the fullest.Ⅲ.语法填空(浙江温州三模)Inspired by the work of William Beebe,Dr.SylviaEarle(1935)began her work as

These cards are used for many things.Thus, chips have been the main platform for cards that hold a secure digital identity.Some examples of these cards are：Cards that hold money.Cards that provide safe access to a network.Cards that allow setting stop boxes on televisions to remain safe from privacy.Optical Memory Cards look like cards with a piece of CD on the top.Optical Memory Cards can store up to 4MB of data. But once written, the data can not be changed or removed. Thus, this type of card is good for keeping records, such as medical files, driving records or travel histories.Today, these have no processors in them(although this is coming in the near future)．While the cards are almost as cheap as chip cards, the card readers are expensive.答案1.D2.A3.B4.C5.C6.B7.A8.C9.D 10.A 11.C 12.B 13.D 14.B 15.D 16.D 17.A 18.D 19.B 20.A21.Smart 22.Advantages 23. security 24.Memory 25.doctor26.travelers 27.cost 28.Unchangeable 29.readers 30.memory。

Unit 5 Rhythm李仕才Ⅰ阅读理解ACaptain John Bunch loves to go fishing. In fact, Bunch loves fishing so much that he became a professional fishing guide decades ago and has remained one ever since. There is something, however, that Bunch loves even more. That is his country and the men and women who join the army to protect it. Ever since Bunch met a young soldier in 2005, who wanted to go on a fishing trip before he left the army, the Florida native has offered over 1 200 fishing trips to veterans(退伍军人), with all expenses paid.And Bunch’s efforts to give back to those who have served their nation go even much further. Inspired by that fishing trip 11 years ago, he founded Operation Open Arms, which has since helped nearly 3 400 US troops and given out more than $12 million in direct benefits with his charity. Operation Open Arms also provides free weddings, vacations, and more leisurely activities to veterans, and can rely on a network of over 300 businesses and individual partners to get former soldiers anything they might need upon returning home from army.The former marine’s heartwarming generosity is a result of his own experiences in the military and the pride he has for his country. "I do this because I love my country and I do this because America is the greatest country in the world," he told NBC’s Today Show. Bunch’s unwavering commitment goes so far that he once turned down an invitation from then-President George W. Bush, because he had already scheduled a fishing trip with one of his veterans. Even the military has recognized Bunch’s work of love, and earlier this year honored him and his organization with the Outstanding Civilian Service Award and the Army’s most prestigious civilian award.1.What caused John Bunch to offer free fishing trips to veterans?A.A young soldier’s desire to go on a fishing trip.B. Working as a professional fishing guide.C. Having served in the army.D. Growing up in Florida.2.What is Paragraph Two mainly about?A. The achievements Operation Open Arms has made.B. How Operation Open Arms was founded.C. Activities Captain John Bunch has joined.D. The missions of Operation Open Arms.3.Which can best describe John Bunch’s personality?A. Ambitious and talented.B. Responsible and patient.C. Honest and determined.D. Warm-hearted and generous.4.John Bunch didn’t accept George W. Bush’s invitation because___.A. he thought little of himB. he didn’t want to see himC. he had to take care of businessD. he wanted to stay with veterans【文章大意】钓鱼向导John Bunch不仅自己喜欢钓鱼，而且还为美国退伍军人安排很屡次免费的钓鱼之旅，并为他们提供一些其他的福利。

五必修2 Unit 5 RhythmⅠ. 阅读理解A(2021·北京模拟) When I was about 12 years old, my older brother, James, smuggled a BB gun into the house. Our parents had told us many times that we were not allowed to bring home guns or knives, even if they were just toys. Having any form of weaponry in our home was strictly forbidden.James brought me to his room. He opened his closet door and took out a shoebox that was buried beneath a heap of clothes. The BB gun was inside. I was immediately enamored by the shiny barrel.“Can I shoot it, Jamesie? ” I asked, hopefully.“No way, ” James said, taking it from me and putting it back.One day, when no one was home, I went into James’ closet and took it out. For some inexplicable reason—I have no idea what I was thinking—I went to the front window of the second floor in our row house. I cracked the window open. I pointed the gun outside and shot. I quickly shut the window and peeked outside.In a matter of seconds, old Mr Schlosberg came out of his grocery store. He looked back at his store window. He looked up the street. He looked down the street. Then he looked straight across to our house.Thankfully, Jamesie made it home before Mother or Father.As he stepped through the door, I could hear old Mr Schlosberg call his name. “James, James, ” he called. “Come here, son. ”After several minutes, James ran back across the street and into the living room.I had retreated into the kitchen. “Alma! ” he screamed. “Get out here! You cracked Mr Schlosberg’s window with my BB gun!”“Oh, please, Jamesie, ” I begged. “Don’t let him tell Mother. She will whip my bottom real good! ” Jamesie sighed. He wiped my tears and went back across thestreet to Mr Schlosberg’s. I don’t know what James said to that man, but there was never a mention of the incident again.Years later, I found out Jamesie had used the money he got from his newspaper route to pay for Mr Schlosberg’s cracked window. He only got one cent for every paper he delivered. He managed to pay back the debt just before he went off to fight in World War Ⅱ.Since that day, I have never touched a gun: a BB gun, a water gun, a real gun, or any other type.1.

These cards are used for many things.Thus, chips have been the main platform for cards that hold a secure digital identity.Some examples of these cards are：Cards that hold money.Cards that provide safe access to a network.Cards that allow setting stop boxes on televisions to remain safe from privacy.Optical Memory Cards look like cards with a piece of CD on the top.Optical Memory Cards can store up to 4MB of data. But once written, the data can not be changed or removed. Thus, this type of card is good for keeping records, such as medical files, driving records or travel histories.Today, these have no processors in them(although this is coming in the near future)．While the cards are almost as cheap as chip cards, the card readers are expensive.答案1.D2.A3.B4.C5.C6.B7.A8.C9.D 10.A 11.C 12.B 13.D 14.B 15.D 16.D 17.A 18.D 19.B 20.A21.Smart 22.Advantages 23. security 24.Memory 25.doctor26.travelers 27.cost 28.Unchangeable 29.readers 30.memory。
