Mr and Mrs Davies had left their Christmas shopping very late.

By lunch-time, Mr Davies was carrying parcels of all shaps and sizes. He could hardly see where he was going as he a nd his wife left the last shop on their way to the railway station and home. Outside the shop they had to cross a busy str eet, made even busier than usual by the thousands of people who had come by car to do their last-minute Christ mas shop ping.Mr and Mrs Davies had to wait for the traffic lights to turn green, but as Mr Davies could not see very well in front o f him, he gradually moved forward into the road without realizing it.

阅读强化训练(十二)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解My daughter just turned nine last week. We went to the supermarket, and I offered her the best gift I could imagine: picking out anything she wanted. I expected her to pick out some clothes, a new video game, maybe even a doll. However, she insisted the only thing she wanted was a model airplane.I guess I shouldn’t be surprised about her request. My daughter has grown up in a military(军人的) household, the pride and joy of her father. He finds it perfectly appropriate(合适的) that, from a very early age, she has shared his love of aviation(航空学). I’ll never forget my shock when he taught her to jump off the swing set in our backyard, pretending she was a pilot. I believe she was four at the time, but even then she would play pilot more than house.Yet soon stories and pictures of aircraft weren’t enough; she wanted to see the real thing. So my husband started taking her to the annual air show at the local military base. Most other children her age admired how fast the planes flew or how nicely they were painted, but not my daughter. She would ask, “Daddy, when are they going to upgrade(升级) the avionics system in the F－22 Raptor？”or “Do you think unmanned drones(无人机) will ever be as useful as manned aircraft？” I once overheard her correcting an older gentleman who was mistaken about the planned retirement date of the F－15 Eagle.Of course, my husband has big dreams for his little aviatrix. She is going to be a military pilot, graduating at the top of her class from the Naval Academy. Then she’s going to design the next－generation fighter personally, while lecturing at Harvard about the history of fixed－wing aircraft. How she’s going to find time to do all of these things, I’ll never know!【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

阅读强化训练(十一)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解I love fresh, local food that doesn’t travel for days before it gets to me. I’ve turned this interest into healthy baking business that’s expanded and grown in popularity. I discovered a love for baking and cooking when I was 8. Around that time, my mom was found to have a wheat allergy, which means she can’t eat the type of flour(面粉) most people eat.Because she was missing many of her favorite foods, I started experimenting with spelt flour to see if I could make some of the things she was missing. Spelt flour has a different type of protein that is easier to digest, so it’s a great choice for people who are allergic to wheat.Soon I was making many of the meals and all the baked food for my family. I started working with Martin Ruiz, who had a bakery at the market. A few months later, one day I saw a notice saying that a national healthy grocery chain was looking for local vendors(供应商). This opportunity fit my plans to provide fresh­baked, snack­sized spelt products for people who can’t eat wheat. I made an application and about a month later the notice came that I had been accepted! Over the next few months, things started moving fast. I had to make decisions on labels, packaging, and which products to market first.Running the business is part of my education now. I’m learning management skills: my dad delivers products since I don’t have a license yet; my mom helps with lots of details, including driving me to my kitchen 20 miles away；my two brothers help me with packaging and dishes.My philosophy(哲学)of healthy eating is：“Go local! Eat freshly. Try new things.And support local business and companies.”【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

Poems were also recited when soldiers fought on the battlefield. People recited them in the open air or at temple fairs.Tang Dynasty poets wrote poems to win fame and also to develop their temperament(性情). They poured out deep feelings for their friends and criticized in injustice in the world through poems.In the Tang Dynasty scholars had to be poets.

As a result, Tang poetry was introduced to some adjacent countries, like Japan and Vietnam.Tang poetry is a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature.

If you quit on school—you’re not just quitting on yourself, but you’re quitting on your country. No one’s written your destiny(命运) for you, because you write your own destiny. You make your own future. That’s why today I’m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education and do everything you can to meet them.Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time reading a book.But whatever you decide to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it. I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star. No one’s born being good at all things. You become good at things through hard work. You’re not a good athlete the first time you play a new sport.

Be realistic about your goals when you’re just starting to learn how to play a new instrument. 10Research different instruments.Choosing an instrument takes more than just picking the one that looks the most impressive. There can be many variations(变化) in range as well as other factors that affect the sound like the number of strings on a guitar or bass. 11 If so, you can see which one you’re most comfortable with.Take lessons.Consider learning how to play a musical instrument by yourself. There are plenty of books, training videos, and online resources available. They can teach you how to play most instruments. 12 Take your time while learning, but set aside some time at least every week so that you practise good habits and stay motivated. Once you’ve mastered basic skills, you’ll be well on your way to mastering your chosen instrument.Never stop learning.Sometimes it might be frustrating to make little progress or tiresome to keep up with practising. 13 Work hard at what you want to do and always keep improving.A. What’s more, many of them are completely free.B. Consider carefully what kind of lessons you want.C. Think over what you would like to get out of this experience.D.

It can be time-consuming at first, but the results can be even more rewarding.三、完形填空（每小题1.5分，共30分）In February of 2005, Phil Belfiore was teaching one of Robert Frost’s poems “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”.

阅读强化训练(十)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解There are many different types of poems.Many people have heard about haiku. In fact, most of us are taught at one point or another—usually in elementary school or high school—to write one of our very own. Even if you did that, do you remember what this type of poem actually is? Haiku is a form of poetry which is composed of three non­rhyming lines. They often express feelings and thoughts about nature; however, you could write a poem about any subject you like in this form.One of the poetic favorites is pastoral (田园的)poetry because it means wonderful senses of peace and harmony (和谐)．Examples of this form include Keats’s OdeonaGrecianUrn, which is also a type of ode. Like the haiku，nature is often at the center of this type of poem as well. In general, pastoral poetry will focus on describing a rural place，but the terms(措辞)will be peaceful. You will feel at ease after reading this type of poem. Many pastoral poems are written about shepherds.Are you familiar wi th the term “ballad〞？ Probably you are, because people sometimes refer to songs—particularly romantic ones—as ballads. In fact, ballad poems are frequently sung—or at least they are intended to be sung, and they are often about love. Often, these ballads will tell stories and they tend to be of a mystical nature.A limerick is a poem that is often silly or funny, written in five lines with an AABBA rhyme scheme. Often, a limerick tells a short, humorous story. This type of poem has been popular for hundreds of years, particularly in the English language. When limericks first became popular，they often expressed ideas that were dirty, but today limericks express all sorts of ideas.Because poems can express a wide variety of emotions, there are sad forms of poetry as well as happy ones. One of these sad forms is known as an elegy(挽歌)．..【解题导语】本文向我们介绍了一些不同种类的诗歌。

阅读强化训练(九)(建议用时：15分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art.Washington, D．C.has the National Gallery of Art；Paris has the Louvre；London has the British Museum.Florida International University(FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see.And it does so without a building，or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States.You don’t have to visit the university to see the art.You just need a computer linked to a telephone.You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it.All of the art is stored in the school computer.It is computer art, produced electronically(电子地) by artists on their own computers.In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.Robert Shostak is the director of the new computer museum.He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works.A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy disks(软盘), to others to see on their computers.He could also put his pictures on paper.But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needed an expensive laser(激光) printer.Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities.Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students.Mr.Shostak said the FIU Museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it.He says artists enjoy their works much more if they have an__audience．And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

阅读强化训练阅读强化训练(一)(建议用时：15分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解A British scientist whose schoolmasters told him he was toostupid to study the subject has been awarded the Nobel Prizein medicine or physiology for his pioneering work on cloning.At the age of 15, Sir John Gurdon ranked last out of the250 boys at biology, and was in the bottom set in every otherscience subject.His master，Mr.Gaddum, was in fact a museumcurator(解说员) by profession who had been hired to teach the lowest­achieving pupils and was not in fact a particularly effective teacher.Though he had heard Gurdon was interested in doing science, he thought this was a completely ridiculous idea because there was no hope whatever of Gurdon doing science.After receiving the report, Sir John said he switched his attention to classics and was offered a place to study at Christ Church, Oxford, but was allowed to switch courses and read zoology instead because of a mix up in the admissions office.It was at Oxford as a postgraduate student that he published his famous research on genetics and proved for the first time that every cell in the body contains the same genes.He did so by taking a cell from an adult frog’s intestine(肠), removing its genes and implanting them into an egg cell, which grew into a clone of the adult frog.Different from the previous studies by much more senior scientists，his idea was controversial(引起争议的) at the time and it was a decade before the then­graduate student’s work became widely accepted.But it led directly to the cloning of Dolly the Sheep by Prof Ian Wilmut in ter on Prof Yamanaka found adult cel ls can be “reprogrammed” into stem cells for use in medicine.Sir John professed to be unaware of the cash prize that awaits，but said he would most likely invest it in a fund he has previously set up to support PhD students during their fourth year of study.【解题导语】获得过诺贝尔生理学或医学奖的英国科学家约翰·格登的生物课成绩曾经在250名同年龄的男生中排最后一名，在其他科学类学科中成绩也都垫底，但是他没有放弃，最后取得了杰出的成绩。

阅读强化训练(六)[学生用书P162(单独成册)](建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解In this day and age, knowing exactly what and how muchyou’re eating is necessary. You’ve probably used caloriecalculators(计算器) on your smartphones before. Forexample, a calculator will tell you the average number ofcalories in a hamburger. However, it acts only as a guide, and it can’t tell you exactly how many calories are in the hamburger at your favorite fast food joint. Now Panasonic’s new device, CaloRieco, can actually give you accurate information on exactly what is on your plate in a few seconds.Showcased at the CEATEC 2017 tech show, CaloRieco is a high－tech device that uses light reflection technology to offer accurate and expeditious calorie information so as to determine the nutritional values of any food. All you have to do is place your plate in the box－shaped device and wait between 10 and 20 seconds for it to analyze all the food there.Once it’s done analyzing the various foods in your meal, CaloRieco displays the number of calories, as well as the nutritional content on an LED display. According to Panasonic, the device is able to recognize the vast majority of foods, except soups and similar food. CaloRieco can also connect to your smartphone via an app, and send all the data about analyzed foods to your Personal Digital Assistant, so you can access it whenever you need.Panasonic said that its invention is aimed at people going on a diet and diabetes(糖尿病) sufferers, both of whom make up a sizable market. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait a bit longer to get your hands on your very own CaloRieco, as the device presented at CEATEC is just a model. It’s scheduled to hit the market sometime in the next few years, but the price remains a mystery.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一款可以快速准确提供食物热量信息的最新设备。

阅读强化训练(七)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解As dusk was approaching, we made our way down to the beach, as did everyone else. Some people had even brought along a picnic, a family day out. As it got darker, people became quiet and talked less, keeping an eye out on the beach.Suddenly there was movement at the edge(边缘) of the surf and all heads turned as one. There, standing by the edge of the water was the smallest penguin we had ever seen. He looked left, then right, as if he was considering crossing a busy road and then he ran quickly across to the sand and the penguin burrows(洞穴)．He must have been the scout,__because after him, there came groups of penguins: some consisted of two or three penguins and some had about ten or fifteen, but they all made that same mad dash across the sand into the burrows, as if they couldn’t get there fast enough. The crowd of penguin watchers was quiet, except for the occasional “oohs” and “ahs” from adults as well as children. The groups started to become fewer in number and finally no more penguins came from the sea.We sat on the grandstand(大看台) for a while, not talking, just feeling amazed at what we’d just seen. Neither of us had ever seen penguins in the wild before, only in zoos and it was an amazing feeling. You could see the penguins here every evening and morni ng, but they weren’t in cages or in small pools. The sea was their playground and it is a sight we would recommend to anyone.After the penguins had gone to their burrows, you could walk along boardwalks and see them there.

阅读强化训练(四)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解You see them in the halls, in a daze, walking toward their classes. Their faces are pale with tiredness；their backs are bent under the weight of a dozen textbooks. They are the ones struggling to hold back a yawn during class, the ones crazily rereading their notes on the nature of light.They are the few, the chosen. They are the AP(Advanced Placement) students. The truth is that honors students are no longer a select few. Over half of students hoping to enter colleges will take AP classes, and of these, most take at least two. The AP system makes them believe that their college success depends on taking as many advanced courses as possible, but is it really worth it? “On average, I spend three to four hours each day on homework，” says one high school student, who is taking five AP classes.With increasing pressure to apply for AP courses, not only for college credit but also for the weighted GPA(Grade Point Average), it is no wonder that students often find their grades suffering and their stress levels increasing. In reality, AP courses have become mere trophies(奖杯), adding little to the competitive college application.One of the major disadvantages in the AP system is that every class is shaped for a standardized test. The result is that comprehensive learning is replaced by test preparation, with teachers spending the most time on topics likely to appear on the AP exam. “It would be nice to sit back and learn for the sake of learning, not just to get a five o n the test in May.” says one high school student.And just because a student receives a high grade on the AP test does not mean he or she will receive college credit. Many universities now don’t consider an AP class in high school can replace an actual undergraduate college-level class, which is usually a three-hour, lecture-based course with changing degrees of homework. Perhaps more high schools should consider offering their students the opportunity to take actual college courses through the local university.【解题导语】许多高中学生在进入大学前为了能够在成绩上获得优势会选修大学先修课程。

阅读强化训练(二)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解In the United States there are more than half a millioncriminals serving time in prisons. Most prisoners are malehigh school dropouts(退学者) between the age of 18 and 29.Even more shocking is the fact that the number and rate ofimprisonment has more than doubled over the past twenty years, and the recidivism(累犯) is more than 60 percent.Although the aim of the criminal justice system is to get them back into society, the system itself doesn’t support such a goal. Although most prisons are located within the community, prisons are usually isolated(隔离的) and terribly overcrowded. Even in the better­equipped prisons, only one­third of the prisoners have job training opportunities or work release(监外就业) choices.If prisons are to achieve the goal of getting prisoners back into society, then the prisons themselves will have to change. First, they will have to be smaller, housing no more than five hundred prisoners. It has been shown that crowding does not help improve(改进) behaviors. Second, they will have to be built in or near population centers with what prisoners need. This must include social services. Finally, prison programs must be reorganized to provide work release and job training for all prisoners, giving them skills that carry over into their lives after release. In addition to work release, successful models for such teamwork between the criminal justice system and the community already exist in several hundred half­way houses throughout the country where prisoners complete their sentences while beginning to rebuild their lives as productive members of society. Studies suggest that imprisonment as it is currently operated must be viewed as punishment rather than reform. Until we approach the problem in terms of changing behaviors, prisoners who are set free will probably return to a life of crime.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。
