入舵市安恙阳光实验学校Unit 1 The written word 课时练1 2篇阅读＋1篇完形[学生用书P391(单独成册)]Ⅰ阅读理解A(2020·芜湖高三月考)I realized something this morning. I have beenwriting now for 34 years. It all started when I was just 18 years old. As a boy I had read literally hundreds of books. I had a thirst for knowledge that seemingly could never fade. Then suddenly I found I had something I wanted to share. I tried to ignore it, but as any writer tells you once the ideas awaken inside of you they w on’t leav e you alone until you write them down. I didn’t have a computer, word processor, or even a typewriter. Still, I grabbed a pen and lined notebook paper and wrote everything that was burning inside of me.When I was done I didn’t know how to share it. There was no Internet back then, no smart phones, and no social media. I sought out the editor of my local county newspaper and asked him to print what I had written. He was a good man full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write.I continued to write new articles each week and shared them first with other local papers and later online as well. Years later at the urging of my readers I even self­published two collections of my stor ies in book form.Through my writing I slowly became more than I was. In my writings I encountered my highest self. In my writings I discovered the goodness and light that lie in us all. In my writings I found great love and joy and encouraged others to choose love and joy as well. I also found that we all are writers whether we put pen to paper or not. With every choice we make, with every thought we hold, and with everything we do, we are writing our own life story.Lance Wubbels once wrote：“I hope you re alize your life is truly your life. It belongs to you. It is your story to write with love. Day by day, line by line, write it well.”【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己从热爱阅读到成为一名作家的经历。

Money was tight and there was no cable TV at home. “So I read a lot and took up writing as a child，” she recalled. The first novel Dreams I Can't Remember was written when she was 17. She sent it to several publishers, from whom she got rejection letters. Yet she would not give up. She wrote one after another. By April, 2010, she had written 17 unpublished novels.Having spent years fruitlessly trying to interest traditional publishers in her work, Amanda Hocking was penniless and frustrated. To make matters worse, an exhibition about Jim Henson, the creator of the Muppets, was coming to Chicago later that year, but she couldn't afford to make the trip!Then an idea occurred to her. She decided to upload one of her unpublished novels to Amazon's online bookstore. There, people could download it to their e­readers for $0.99. With six months to go before the Muppets exhibition opened, she would surely make $300 needed for the desired journey to Chicago.April 15 2010 should be noted by historians. On that day, Hocking made her book available to Kindle readers on Amazon's website in her bid to raise the cash for the Muppets trip.“I didn't have a lot of hope on it，” she said. How wrong she was. Within a few days, she sold nine copies a day of My Blood Approves, a novel set in Minneapolis. By May she had posted two further books in the series, Fate and Flutter, and sold624 copies. In July she posted Switched, the novel she wrote in barely more than a week. It brought in more than $6,000 that month alone, and in August she quit her day job as a carer for disabled children.In six months, Hocking raised not only the $300 she needed, but an additional $20,000 selling 150,000 copies of her books. Over the past 20 months Hocking has sold 1.5 million books and made $2.5 million all by herself. Not a single publishing house was in sight.Amanda Hocking did get to Chicago to see the Muppets.

Encouraging a love of the written word is an important part of any child's education.With the constant distraction(分心) of video games, Internet and television, it is important to make time to promote a love of reading among children. The following tips will help young readers develop a lifelong love of books.Encourage them to draw. Drawing is an important gateway skill that, when promoted at an early age, has been shown to increase literacy(读写能力) in children.When children begin to read, encourage them to form a habit of reading. Schedule time every day to read and make trips to the library a regular occurrence.Let children read books that they like best. Don't be judgmental if your children prefer romantic novels. Often they will get more out of something they're reading for joy than they would read something they're forced to read. A true love ofliterature is something that lasts a lifetime —there will be plenty of opportunities to read the classics later.Make books a reward.

Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people. I have taught many children who held the belief that their self­worth relied (依赖)on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life­and­death affairs. In their single­minded pursuit(追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the_most_vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people. I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self­respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.1. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self­respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among people.C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.2. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?A. It pushes society forward.B. It builds up a sense of duty.C. It improves personal abilities.D. It encourages individual efforts.3. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means ______.A. those who try their best to winB. those who value competition most highlyC. those who are against competition most stronglyD. those who rely on others most for success4. Wh at is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”？A. One's worth lies in his performance compared with others'.B. One's success in competition needs great efforts.C. One's achievement is determined by his particular skills.D. One's success is based on how hard he has tried.5. Which point of view may the author agree to?A. Every effort should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life­and­death matter.D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.Ⅳ.阅读简答Distance Learning (DL) is an instructional delivery system that connects learners with educational resources. It provides educational access mainly for learners who are not enrolled in educational institution.DL has become one of the most preferred activities for different people. This has happened because many people face an immense lack of time due to which they do not find it practical to find time for regular classes. With DL, it is very convenient for them to complete their course work from anywhere, provided there is a computer and Internet connection. This allows them to participate in different classes on an individualized basis without having to squeeze in scheduled classes to an already busy life. In addition, there's a wide range of choices. It offers a wide variety of materials and schools that can meet different people's learning preference. Thirdly, DL offers students the flexibility to schedule classes. They can control the subjects they want to study, the schedule of their studies as well as the speed at which the studies are to be taken.One of the disadvantages of DL is the lack of social interaction. When distance learners take courses through this method, they may miss out classroom discussions and individualized instruction. Most often they will be studying alone and feel isolated. Secondly, DL does not offer immediate feedback. In a traditional classroom setting, a student's performance can be immediately assessed through questions and informal testing. But with DL, a student has to wait for feedbacks until the instructor has reviewed their work and responded to it. Thirdly, there are unavoidable accompanying costs. For online learning, you must own a computer and other equipment needed, as well as the access to Internet service.Although certain employers don't acknowledge DL, it grows in popularity and it becomes a more respected educational alternative. Through DL, more and more students become well­educated and self­motivated, leading them to be the best route to landa better job as well as get an earlier promotion.1. Who is DL mainly intended for?
