Unit 5 First Aid李仕才一、阅读理解。

Recently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina. We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer ＂psychological first aid＂and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude (感激) from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadn’t really done anything yet.I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend’s mother passed away unexpectedly. I had received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didn’t want to intrude (打搅) on this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, ＂Just go. Just be there.＂I did, and I will never regret it.Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS — related dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others’ presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.1.Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?A. He built shelters for them.B. He gave immediate first aid to them.C. He came to stay with them.D. He brought mental health professionals.2.What did the author do when his friend’s mother passed away?A. He hesitated over whether to go.B. He went to his friends’ at once.C. He knew what to do instantly.D. He decided not to disturb.3.What does the underlined word ＂solemn＂ in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Heavy but warm.B. A little sad but cosy.C. Relaxing and delightful.D. Very serious and unhappy.4.What has the author learned from his experience?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. Being present can make a big difference.C. The family harmony is the happiest thing in life.D. Being a volunteer can make one’s life more significant【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

I carefully construct each of my stories to connect readers to the story itself, to the characters in the story, and to other readers. My goal is to build kids' social­emotional learning skills to help improve healthy relationships and prevent peer cruelty. And since October is National Bullying Prevention Month, this is the perfect time to share with you, dear book lovers, how literature can be used as an effective tool to address hurtful behavior.What I'm describing here is nothing new. For years, children's literature has been used by advisors, parents, teachers, and librarians to address tough issues kids face in their everyday world. Researchers report that literature, with proper adult guidance and assistance in a safe social setting, can help form viewpoints and empathy (同情) in young readers. And let's face it: the more empathy and compassion kids have in their hearts, the less room there is for arrogance and contempt(蔑视) for others.I love what Dr. Zipora Shechtman, author of Treating Child and Adolescent Aggression Through Bibliotherapy, said in the book, “Through the imaginative process that reading involves, children have the opportunity to do what they often cannot do in real life — become thoroughly involved in the inner lives of others, better understand them, and eventually become more aware of themselves.”Because the social world of today's children is very complex, I try to include the wisdom andinsight of young readers in my stories, so that my books go hand in hand with their life experiences and views.There are also many other wonderful books that generate thoughtful conversations (my website lists my top picks — from pre­school kids to young adults, both fiction and nonfiction). If you're looking for ways to turn stories into teachable moments, visit authors' or publishers' websites for ready­made lesson plans. With lessons in hand, you're ready to open the hearts and minds of young readers to new perspectives and possibilities!4．Why is it important to teach kids to have empathy and compassion?A．They will help kids address tough issues.B．They will make kids treat others equally.C．They will make kids more optimistic toward life.D．They will make kids perform better in everything.5．What does Dr. Zipora Shechtman mainly talk about in his book?A．The influence of literature on children.B．Tough issues children face today.C．The importance of imagination.D．Interaction between children.6．In the last paragraph the author intends to ________．A．ask us to visit his websiteB．make a summary of his viewC．call attention to his booksD．recommend more books to us7．What's the specific message the author wants to convey in the text?A．Social­emotional learning skills are important to children.B．Children can't go without wonderful books.C．Literature can help to handle the emotionally damaging manner.D．Authors' or publishers' websites have book lists.C[2021·合肥市第三次质量检测]Sometime back, after a six­year­old lioness named Magigi repeatedly killed cattle, Botswana authorities caught and moved her into Central Kalahari Game Reserve, far from people. Magigi spent most of her time within the reserve's protective boundaries, but after a year she escaped outside and was shot dead by a farmer. New research Maude and his colleagues have conducted confirms that Magigi's unfortunate story is common for many relocated lions. For decades, wildlife managers in a number of African countries have used such a kind way to deal with lions that repeatedly kill livestock (牲畜). But the new research shows thatafter lions are moved, most continue to kill livestock and endanger villagers' living.Across Africa, lion numbers have fallen by 43 percent in the past two decades, to as few as 23，000 animals today. About 3，000 remain in Botswana. The sharp declines are primarily driven by development — lions now occupy just 8 percent of their historic habitat. With less space set aside for conservation, lions are more frequently coming into contact with humans. These are usually farms, expanding around the edges of the protected areas. The lions eat livestock, which negatively impacts the livelihood of the farmers in these rural areas. Without a proper way to prevent these attacks, the farmers often turn to deadly force, shooting or poisoning the lions, which has resulted in the decrease in lion population.“Rather than trying to move lions，” wildlife conservationist Glyn Maude says, “emphasis should be placed on reducing the chances of lions encountering and killing livestock in the first place.” Many preventative measures are being tested in various African countries, including hiring lion guardians (守卫者) to monitor these big eats, creating lion­proof fences, sending out lion text alerts, and teaching herders to keep livestock away from high­risk areas.8．Why was Magigi moved to the reserve?A．To stop her from being caught.B．To prevent her from killing cattle.C．To get her to stay with her family.D．To train her to get along with people.9．What is the major reason for the decline in the lion population in Africa?A．Illegal wildlife trade.B．Human­lion conflict.C．A natural disaster.D．The lack of food in their habitat.10．What can we infer from Maude's words in the last paragraph?A．Lions will be fenced in to avoid meeting people.B．The relocation of lions has proven to be effective.C．Prevention is the cure for lions' attacking livestock.D．It's impossible for lions to live with humans in harmony.11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Big Cats' Relocation Proving DeadlyB．Lions Was Shot Dead after Attacking a ManC．The Tragic Story of a Magical LionessD．Conservation Status of the African LionD[2021·河北省高三六校联考]An ageless question: When is someone “old”？What does “old” really mean these days? This isn't a meaningless question — not only does the definition of “old” have an outsized impact on how we feel about ourselves (not to mention how others view us), it also matters to policymakers determining how to plan for aging populations.The United Nations historically has defined older persons as people 60 years old or over (sometimes 65). It doesn't matter whether you live in the United States, China or Senegal, even though life expectancy is quite different in each of those countries. Everyone becomes old at 60.Researchers Sergei Scherbov and Warren Sanderson, who study aging, are suggesting overturning the one­size­fits­all definition of “old”. Instead, they talk about “prospective__age”，which looks to the future. Everyone with the same prospective age has the same expected remaining years of life.Scherbov explained that “young” and “old” are relative concepts, and their common reference point is life expectancy. And that “old” would vary between nations makes sense, especially between more and less developed countries, with differences in education, death rates, access to health care and life expectancy.But who is “old” also varies — widely — between individuals. The point, says Scherbov, is that personal age is dependent on our “characteristics” — understanding abilities, disability, health history and even education levels. Those with more education tend not to smoke, exercise more frequently, have better diets and have regular checkups — and, therefore, live longer, meaning the beginning of their old age comes later, says Scherbov.12．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．How we feel about ourselves.B．The definition of “old”．C．The importance of the definition of “old”．D．The plan for aging populations.13．What does the underlined phrase “prospective age” in Paragraph 3 refer to according to the text?A．The expected remaining years of one's life.B．The beginning of one's old age.C．The differences of our “characteristics”．D．The age when one becomes old.14．What similarity does Scherbov think “young” and “old” have?A．Understanding abilities.B．Nations.C．Education.D．The reference point.15．Which of the following helps one to live longer according to Scherbov?A．Doing as much exercise as possible.B．Losing weight.C．Studying history.D．Improving the education level.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

长沙市最新版高考英语阅读理解专题练习(及答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband's income. So this year she did something more than a hobby. She planted vegetables in her yard. For her first garden, Ms. Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five rows of a variety of vegetables. The family's old farm house has become a chicken house, its residents arriving next month. Last year, Ms. Rita Gartin kept a small garden. This year she has made it much larger because, she said, "The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds too; so it's a win-win situation all around."They are among the growing number of Americans who, driven by higher living costs and a falling economy, have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time. Others have increased the size of their existing gardens. Seed companies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home. Now many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months. In Austin, Tex, some of the gardens have a three-year waiting list.George C Ball Jr. owner of a company, said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40%, over last year, double the average growth of last five years. Mr. Ball argues that some of the reasons have been building for the last few years. The big one is striking rise in the cost on food like bread and milk, together with the increases in the price of fruit and vegetables. Food prices have increase of higher oil price. People are driving less, taking fewer vacations, so there is more time to garden.（1）What does the word "residents" in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A. chickensB. tomatoesC. gardensD. people（2）Why is vegetable gardening becoming increasingly popular?A. More Americans are doing it for fun.B. The price of oil is lower than before.C. There's a growing need for fruits.D. The cost of living is on the rise.（3）Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. Family Food PlanningB. Banking on GardeningC. A Belt-tightening MoveD.

The Basics of Math—Made ClearBasic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数)and beyond.The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges. Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America”， is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is a master in making math lectureslearner­friendlier and less scary.With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make­up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.1．What does the course Basic Math mainly cover?A．Algebra. B．College Mathematics.C．Arithmetic. D．Mathematics Education.2．What benefits can students expect from Basic Math?A．Stronger imaginative ability. B．Additional presentation skills.C．More mathematical confidence. D．Greater chances of becoming teachers. 3．What can we learn about Professor H．Siegel?A．He is a guest lecturer at Kentucky Educational Television.B．He is to deliver 30 lectures in Basic Math.C．He works in Georgia State University.D．He specializes in training teachers.4．Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?A．A news report.

湖南长沙市实验中学高考英语阅读理解训练经典题目(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解It seems every major city and town around the world hosts an annual marathon, with thousands of athletes running a gruelling 42.1 kilometres. While many runners' motivation is to beat their personal best and cross the finishing line without collapsing, they're also doing it for a good cause—to generate funds for charity. But like other major events, the marathon also generates a massive carbon footprint. Thousands travel —some by plane—to the location, and waste from food packaging and goody bags gets left behind by spectators and runners. This is becoming a big issue for cities—how to host a worthwhile event, encouraging people to exercise and help charities, while protecting the environment? Several cities have developed formal plansto reduce their environmental impact and promote sustainable (可持续的) ideas. One event in Wales, for example, introduced recycling for old running kit.It's something that this year's London Marathon tried to tackle by reducing the number of drink stations on the running route, giving out water in paper cups and offering some drinks in eatable seaweed capsules. They also trialled new bottle belts made from recycled plastic so 700 runners could carry water bottles with them during their run. London Marathon event director Hugh Brasner told the BBC: "There are a lot of initiatives (倡议) we are using this year that we think will lead to some huge behavioural changes in the future."Meanwhile, some people still think running a marathon could be our best foot forward in helping the planet. Dr Andrea Collins from Cardiff University told the BBC: "Training for a marathon makes you more sustainable in day-to-day activities. I started walking or running to work every day and shunning public transport altogether. Being environmentally friendly while training sticks with you and becomes a way of life. "（1）Why do many people enter for a marathon?A. To achieve their own ambitions.B. To generate a massive carbon footprint.C. To improve themselves both physically and mentally.D. To challenge their personal limitations and raise money for charities.（2）What did Hugh Brasner think of this year's London Marathon?A. It may bring a large profit to London.B. It saved a lot of water resources and power.C. It may improve people's behaviour in the future.D. It may make Londoners more friendly when running a marathon.（3）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "shunning" in the last paragraph?A. Damaging.B. Avoiding.C. Choosing.D. Changing.（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Running a marathon can make more money.B.Running a marathon can do great damage to the earth.C.Running a marathon can change people's life completely.D.Running a marathon can contribute to protecting the earth.【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）B（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，现如今，许多城市和乡镇都举办了马拉松比赛，马拉松旨在为一些公益活动募集资金，但马拉松的举办也为城市带来了环境问题。

长沙市高考英语阅读理解训练经典题目(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解A study published in the journal Science reveals that since 1970, bird populations in the United States and Canada have declined by 29 percent, or almost 3 billion birds. The results show tremendous losses across diverse groups of birds and habitats - from iconic songsters such as meadowlarks to long-distance migrants such as swallows."These data are consistent with what we're seeing elsewhere," said coauthor Peter Marra, former head of the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center. It's urgent to address ongoing threats, both because the domino effects (多米诺效应)can lead to the decay of ecosystems that humans depend on for our own health and livelihoods and because people all over the world cherish birds in their own right. Can you imagine a world without birdsong?"Evidence for the declines emerged from detection of migratory birds in the air from 143 NEXRAD weather radar stations across the continent in a period spanning over 10 years as well as from nearly 50 years of data collected through multiple monitoring efforts on the ground. Citizen-science participants also contributed a lot, for the analysis included citizen-science data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey coordinated by the Canadian Wildlife Service- the main sources of long-term, large-scale population data for North American birds.The study noted that the largest factor driving these declines is likely the widespread loss and degradation of habitat, especially due to agricultural intensification and urbanization. Other studies have documented death from predation (捕食)by domestic cats; collisions with glass, buildings, and other structures; and pervasive (普遍的)use of pesticides associated with widespread declines in insects, an essential food source for birds. Climate change is expected to compound these challenges by altering habitats and threatening plant communities that birds need to survive."It's a wake-up call that we've lost more than a quarter of our birds in the U.S. and Canada," said coauthor Adam Smith from Environment and Climate Change Canada. But the crisis reaches far beyond our individual borders. Many of the birds that breed in Canadian backyards migrate through or spend the winter in the U.S. and places farther south - from Mexico and the Caribbean to Central and South America. What our birds need now is an historic, hemispheric effort that unites people and organizations with one common goal: bringing our birds back.（1）The underlined word "decay" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to____.A.improvementB.worseningC.changedD.threat（2）What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.New findings of the research.B.Applications of the research.C.Data sources of the research.D.Methods of the research.（3）What Adam Smith said mainly implies that___________.A.bird populations in America and Canada dropped by a quarterB.the bird population crisis is not just within individual bordersC.there is little individuals can do to help increase bird populationsD.the solution to solving the crisis needs international cooperation【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。

They Just Can't Help ItMy theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy —the ability to understand other people —and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems. ________ For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines that feature computers and sport.You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case. A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mobile. ________ It has also been observed that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people's feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions. ________ People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also male-chosen disciplines. Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons (神经) that connect the right and left part of their brains. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men. ________ Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender (性别) is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses. ________ It is not true. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist, and why they are there.A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.B. Their preference for building systems may change over time.C. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time.E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.F. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological.G. Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.【答案】 A；F；C；D；G【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，阐述男性与女性差异各有优缺点。

湖南临湘市2017高考英语阅读理解一轮习题及参考答案阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A，B，C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A recent study，while showing a generally positive attitude toward science，also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “running out of control”。

This idea is dangerous。

Science can be a force for evil as well as for good。

Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions。

The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science。

But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And，rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections（反对），whatever is scientifically possible will be done—somewhere, sometime。

Next time a customer es to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you?re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you?re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation (感觉) of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions — those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.Psychologists have known that one person? s perception (感知) of another? s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold”is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold”person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies? conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness.Classic studics by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, evenwhen the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlow?s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal.Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm”， or “cold”is mon to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study?s hypotheses (假设) , handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form. The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of“Person A”based on a particulardescription. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly，”says Bargh.[语篇解读] 最近的心理学研究发现，人们对“温暖”或者“寒冷”的感受可以改变人们的情感。

M5 Unit 1 Getting along with others(测)2022年高考英语一轮复习讲练测(新高考•江苏)一、阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A(2021·重庆南开中学高三其他模拟)My name’s Lily. I’ m 35 and hardly have any friends. My family traveled a lot, meaning I lost most of my friends from childhood. Now I have only a handful of close friends, most of whom live in other countries. I feel lonely. I see lots of my acquaintances, who regularly go out with friends or other moms, and I think, “Why haven’ t they invited me?” What’s wrong with me?Lily When we are young, friendships may leave little scars. As a result, you might be unwilling to dive into a close friendship as an adult. Compatibility(相容), especially in adulthood, is a complex thing.I find that in friendship, sharing the same values and worldviews is important. But what would you need to know in order to make friends? Writing that down is worthwhile, because it can help you work out which invitations to say yes to, and which to refuse.A well-placed conversation where you share that “you would love to be invited somewhere”, or “you are having a hard time making friends” could open up opportunities. If there is a habit that somehow troubles you, perhaps you could ask a couple of people around you (your husband? family?) to give you feedback. It could be that you are someone who has fewer friends than some, but that the one or two you do have will be long-lasting.There is nothing wrong with you. And there are friends out there for you. The more you know what matters most to you, the more you’ ll be a friend others are looking for—as much as you are looking for one like them.Alanis 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。
