落堕市安心阳光实验学校Unit 1 Laughter is good for you一、阅读理解。

After a year of examining studies concerning whether homework is effective, NYC P.S. 116 elementary school decided that math worksheets and essay assignments were actually a waste of time. In February, Principal Jane Hsu sent a letter to parents stating that the Pre-K through fifth grade students would not be given any traditional homework to encourage kids to have free time for reading, playing outside, or doing activities they enjoy."The negative effects of homework have been well established," Hsu wrote in a note to parents. "They include: children’s frustration and exhaustion, lack of time for other activities and family time and, sadly for many, loss of interest in learning."Some parents, however, disagree with the policy change, believing that a lack of focus will cause children to fall behind. Homework has been part of education from the beginning, and has increased in volume in recent years.Hsu’s advice that children should read and spend time w ith their families has upset some parents to the point of considering pulling their children out of P.S. 116. This group feels that homework assignments give children a goal to work toward. Others feel so strongly about the importance of homework that they have begun giving their own homework assignments to their children.An Australian Childhood Foundation survey found that 71% of Australian parents feel they do not spend enough quality time with their children mainly because of the time spent running the household or the time spent helping with homework. Education experts in Australia are saying that parents should stop helping. Doing so will give kids more independence, will give parents more free time, and will help reduce the number of homework-induced arguments in the family.While some research suggests that homework has little academic benefit for elementary students, other research shows homework can help kids develop independence, and confidence. It can also contribute to a sense of belonging or control over their lives. When parents try to help their children with homework, the assistance can take away that feeling and can also drain already exhausted working parents.1.Cancelling traditional homework is aimed at __________.A. allowing students to learn on their ownB. inspiring students to spend more time with parentsC. wishing students to seek self-developmentD. motivating students to help with housework2.What can be concluded from the 1st and 2nd paragraph?A. Jane Hsu is the first principal to cancel homework.B. Jane Hsu has done thorough research on homework.C. Jane Hsu paid little attention to students’ academic records.D. Jane Hsu knows students prefer activities to their subjects.3.Why are some parents strongly against Principal Jane Hsu?A. They have no time to give their children homework.B. They don’t think the school is responsible for their kids.C. They are afraid their kids will fall behind.D. They dislike their kids doing too many activities.4.What is the author’s attitude to parents’ helping kids with homework?A. Supportive.B. Indifferent.C. Ironic.D. Negative.【文章大意】这是一篇议论文，文章对是否应该给小学生布置家庭作业进行了论述。

2016年全国高考英语优化习题集(7)(建议用时：30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·北京东城区综合练习二)According to game maker Hasbro，approximately 750 million people have played the well­known game Monopoly since it was invented in the 1930s.Charles Darrow is typically credited as the inventor of the world’s most famous board game.However, he likely originated his version of Monopoly from one of several other games similarly involving house buying and selling that were already in existence before the 1930s when he got his patent(专利) for the game.A probable reason that Darrow’s Monopoly became the hugely successful game that still exists today is that he took a great approach to producing it.Other similar games existed, but they had no board or regulation pieces.With the help of his wife and son, who decorated the sets with details, Darrow personally created the pieces and boards that became the first Monopoly game sets.His extra work in creating the entire environment that players needed gave his game something extra that other variations did not have.Darrow had success in selling his games in various parts of the country.Several Philly area stores were the first to carry his game and sell it in large quantities.However, Darrow had difficulty selling his game to the major game producer of the time, Parker Brothers.He was told that his game was too complex and had fundamental errors in its design that would limit its appeal.Eventually, the continued sales he managed on his own forced Parker Brothers to reassess the worth of his game.In the end, the company agreed to produce the game and shortly afterwards it became the bestselling game in the country.That success turned Charles Darrow into a millionaire, which is the heavy irony．Darrow initially began work on Monopoly to help support himself and his family following the financial troubles tied to the stock market crash of 1929.Thus, Charles Darrow became a millionaire by producing a game that allows “regular” people to feel like they are buying and selling real homes and land like millionaires.1．What made Darrow’s Monopoly different from other similar games?A．The way of avoiding financial troubles.B．The safe environment created for players.C．The buying and selling of real homes and land.D．The specific pieces and a playing board in each set.2．The author suggests in Paragraph 3 that ________．A．Monopoly was initially too complex to playB．Darrow failed to make expected profit in PhillyC．certain errors in Monopoly limited its attractionD．some people once doubted Monopoly would be popular3．What does the underlined word “irony” in the last paragraph mean?A．Financial gain. B．Unexpected result.C．Marketing plan. D．Unsatisfying reward.4．What is the passage mainly about?A．The difficulties in Darrow’s life.B．The comparison of some board games.C．The way to the success of Darrow’s game.D．The business management of Parker Brothers.B(2015·东北三校二模)The National Air and Space Museum in Washington D．C.has thousands of objects on display，including the 1903 Wright Flyer, Charles Lindbergh’s Spirit of St.Louis, the

2016年全国高考英语优化习题集(11)(建议用时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·贵阳高三适应性监测考试)Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款机), I said hello to an old couple who were also paying for gas.I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke began pouring from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank­you note for helping me. Soon afterwards, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In the late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？”I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment. When I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say “thank you”，and it meant a lot, he said.“Thank you”—two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.1．Why did the writer get into the old couple’s car?A．His parents were in the car.B．His car had broken down.C．His friend told him to do so.D．His car’s oil had run out.2．From the text, we know that the old couple were ________．A．talkative B．braveC．kind D．lonely3．What did the old couple think of helping the writer?A．They could get a reward.B．It made their holiday worthy.C．They did it by chance.D．It was due to a thank-you letter.4．What would be the best title for the text?A．An Experience to MissouriB．An Old CoupleC．A Meaningful HolidayD．A Meaningful Thank­youB(2015·呼和浩特第一次调研)It is not so long ago that the extended family lived under the same roof. Children grew up knowing their cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, and other relatives. These children felt connected.In these not too­long­ago times people were connected to their food. Most people grew their own vegetables and fruit. Many families had a house cow for milk, cheese, butter and cream.Most families also had meat animals. When visitors came unexpectedly, dad would be sent out back to kill the chicken for dinner. Everyone was involved in cooking and mealtimes were a social event. When the meal ended, most of the family were involved in cleaning up and washing up.How different is the situation today?The fast life is all around us—fast food, fast cars, fast conversations, fast families, fast holidays. Our fast paced life has weakened these connections. We have been fooled into thinking we need to, or even must, be fast and have what the “fast life”gives us. Stress is leading to many new health problems.The solution is the Slow Movement. It aims to deal with the problem of “time poverty”through making connections. It supports a growing cultural shift towards slowing down. It has spread to more than sixty countries and become a worldwide movement.The Slow Movement tells us that we need to slow down and connect with our life. We need connection to people—ourselves, our family, our community, our friends—to food, to places(where we live), and to life. By being part of the Slow Movement, many people have known how they lost connection to most aspects of their life and to the natural world and rhythms around them. And more importantly, they have reconnected—they have lived a new connected lifestyle.5．If we are connected to our food, we ________．A．eat each meal slowlyB．buy our food by ourselvesC．enjoy our mealtimes with other family membersD．prepare and cook our food by ourselves6．According to the text, which group of the following words can be used to describe today’s life?A．Healthy, busy, disconnected.B．Rich, disconnected, comfortable.C．Fast, busy, stressful.D．Convenient, relaxing, fast.7．According to the author, many people have ________．A．got used to fast lifeB．had unwise opinions about fast lifeC．had diseases caused by fast foodD．benefited from fast life8．What’s the purpose of the text?A．To compare modern life with traditional life.B．To explain the meaning of making a connection.C．To explain the disadvantages of disconnected life.D．To support a world­wide movement.Ⅱ.七选五(2015·河北五个一名校联盟监测二)Guide for TeenagersThe teenage years can be tough，and it’s normal to feel sad every now and then.But if these feelings don’t go away or become so intense that you can’t handle them，you may be suffering from depression.1.________．Try not to isolate yourselfWhen you’re depressed，you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything.Just getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult，but isolating yourself only makes depression worse.2.________．Spend time with friends，especially those who are active.Keep your body healthyMaking healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your moods.Ever heard of “Runners High”？Physical activity can be as effective as medications for depression，so get involved in sports，ride your bike，or take a dance class.Any activity helps！3.________．As for food，make sure you’re feeding your mind with plenty of fruits，vegetables，and whole grains.Avoid alcohol and drugsYou maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a “mood boost”，even if just for a short time.However，substance abuse can not only make depression worse，but can cause you to become more depressed.4.________．You will need special treatment for your substance abuse problem.5．________Stress and worry can lead to depression.Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming.In addition，if you have a health concern you feel you can’t talk to your parents about，see a doctor.A health professional can help you approach your parents and guide you toward appropriate treatment.If you’re dealing with relationships，friendships，or family problems，talk to an adult you trust.A．Ask for help if you are stressedB．Even a short walk can be beneficialC．Turn to your parents for helpD．As you get out into the world，you may find yourself feeling betterE．In short，drinking and taking drugs will make you feel worse—not better—in the long run F．The more exercise you do，the healthier you will beG．Help is available and you have more power than you thinkⅢ.短文改错(2015·云南第一次统一检测)A foreign student graduated with honors from a finely university in Germany.

It’s not something I’d like to do，so I was relieved to read that there’s a university with a programme to safeguard the future of chocolate!The University of Reading，in England，has just opened a new clearing house for all the world’s new cocoa varieties.They must be quarantined (实行检疫) before they can be grown.Why? Cocoa production hit a record high of 4.4 million tons last year but about 30% of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases.Now we don’t want that，do we?Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem.The University of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crop since 1985，after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew，London.And it has improved its facilities.The leader of the institution’s cocoa project，Professor Paul Hadley，says，“One of the main issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean，healthy，interesting cocoa material.”The cocoa centre has a collection of 400 plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of energy to keep them in tropical conditions.After up to two years in quarantine，clean and safe seeds are sent to some 20 countries，including several in West Africa.That’s where 75% of the cocoa used for chocolate worldwide comes from.The crop is extremely important for the local economy：it employs about two million people.Professor Paul Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection.And more of us seem to count on them now.The scientist says，“There is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing constantly，particularly in countries like China，where the standard of living is increasing and people are getting a taste for different chocolates.”5．What is the text mainly about?A．Safeguarding cocoa seeds.B．Planting cocoa seeds worldwide.C．Keeping cocoa seeds in greenhouse.D．Finding the new market for cocoa.6．The institution’s cocoa project is to ________．A．have cocoa skin removedB．offer more jobs to peopleC．ensure the quality of cocoaD．supply cocoa for two million people7．What does the last paragraph tell us?A．The taste of chocolates is changing.B．Demand for cocoa is increasing continually.C．People are concerned about cocoa varieties.D．Chinese have a long history of eating chocolates.8．What’s the purpose of the text?A．To educate.

2016年全国高考英语优化习题集(13)(建议用时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·东北三校二模)To most people，noise pollution is a jet flying over their head.For one Spanish woman，it is a neighbor playing the piano.The woman has taken her neighbor to court.Now she wants to send her neighbor to prison for over seven years on the charges of psychological damage and noise pollution.In a country known for its noisiness，the case has raised eyebrows.Neighbors often complain about street noise in Spain，but people seeking prison time for someone practicing the piano is unheard of.At the trial，Sonia Bosom says she has been suffering noise pollution up to now due to the practice sessions of Laia Martin，who lives below her.Martin，27，didn’t admit that she played at home that often，saying she took regular classes in other towns and mostly practiced at home on the weekends.On the first day of the trial，the newspaper reported that Bosom told the court she now hated pianos so much that she couldn’t even stand seeing them in a film.Bosom says years of hearing constant playing has caused her “psychological injury”．Medical reports show she has suffered from a variety of problems，including insomnia(失眠)，anxiety，and panic attacks.She says tests by local authorities have found that the sound levels made by the piano are up to 10 decibels(分贝) higher than the limit.City authorities have asked the family several times to either stop the piano playing or soundproof(隔音) the room.The family told the court they carried out soundproofing work twice but the complaints continued.The court hasn’t made a final decision.A spokeswoman says the trial will end before May.1．Bosom wants to send Martin to prison because ________．A．Martin’s playing the piano damaged her healthB．Bosom suffered from heart attackC．Martin refused to take regular

in winter clothes and warm up by the fire.Celebrated on November 5，Guy Fawkes Night has been part of British history since 1605，when Fawkes was found trying to blow up parliament(议会) with barrels of gunpowder.Now，it is traditional for Britons to make a fake(假的)“Guy”every year from old clothes and burn it on the fire.If you visit a small town in the southwest of the country，you might see men from the village run through the crowded streets with huge wooden barrels on their backs，then fill them with tar(焦油) and set them on fire.And in Lewes，a town in the southern English county of Sussex，different groups of bonfire societies parade(游行) the streets，each wearing their own unique outfits and carrying a giant mascot(吉祥物)，which they burn at their own bonfire party at the end of the evening.Bonfire Night is also a time for “chili con carne”，a dish made from slow­cooked beef mince，tomatoes，kidney beans，onions，and spices.It is often served on top of a hot jacket potato with butter and cheese.It’s not the most elegant dish in the world but it’s sure to warm people up while they brave the cold for the festivities.But for many Britons，the night is not complete without “bonfire treacle toffee(太妃糖)”，which is also known as “plot toffee”，named after Guy Fawkes’plot to blow up parliament.The toffee is rock hard and is often broken with a hammer and handed out to guests.Whether it’s the sound of fireworks making Britain sound like a war zone，the hearty winter food，or the excuse to light a huge fire，Bonfire Night has something for everyone.Just watch out for those rockets!4．What is Guy Fawkes Night?A．A person to explode the parliament.B．A guy to be controlled in the UK.C．A symbol for Britons to enter winter.D．A dish famous to British people.5．Why do people have “chili con carne”？A．It’s the most elegant.B．It’s full of energy.C．It’s on jacket potatoes.D．It’s slowly cooked.6．The underlined word “rockets” refers to “________”．A．celebrationsB．fireworksC．performancesD．bonfires7．What is the text mainly about?A．The origin of Guy Fawkes Night.B．The introduction of a traditional food.C．A complete toffee on Bonfire Night.D．Activities on the night of November 5.Ⅱ.七选五(2015·河南三市第二次调研)Failure is inevitable if we are to succeed in life.Unfortunately，many people do not know how to overcome failure，and they are stopped by it when they encounter one.Rise up and don’t regretWhen we fail，we might be tempted to think that we have wasted our time and thus regret it.But that should not be the case.The fact that you have done something is much better than doing nothing.Rise up and move on.1.________Understand that failure is there to bring you wisdomFailure is there not without a reason.2.________ Each failure you encounter increases your wisdom and brings you one step closer to success.If you have this，you will see failure differently.You will see each failure as an opportunity to learn.3．________ While failure brings you wisdom，how much wisdom you will get depends entirely on your ability to harvest it.So don’t waste the opportunity to learn.If you fail to do this，you may waste a lot of time by repeating the same mistakes in the future.Don’t give up；maybe you are only one step away from successThe thought of giving up is temptation，especially when we have failed over and over again.But who knows that maybe you are only one step away from success？Will you abandon the long journey you have passed when you are already so close to your destination？4.________ Maintain your enthusiasm5．________ Otherwise your later effort will have less and less power.Many people who achieve great undertakings have no special quality.They are just ordinary people with extraordinary attitude.Let’s be one of them.A．You should keep on trying and do it with the same enthusiasm as when you first began.B．So hold on tight and don’t give up.C．It’s there to give you the wisdom you need to succeed.D．Don’t be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality.E．If you can dream it，you can also do it.F．Learn as much as possible from the failure.G．The regret lies not in doing，but in not doing.Ⅲ.短文改错(2015·山西大学附中第五次月考)One year ago，I was in great trouble.I worked hard at English and devote all my spare time to practise it.But I failed to pass the mid-term examination，which made me
