Unit 24 Society课时练1 2篇阅读+1篇完形Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·北京昌平区五校联考)A simple project to help a familyin need stopped Luke Mickelson in his tracks. In 2012, he and hisfamily were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed ontop of the other, after learning there were local children whoslept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids’ sports teams and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course.Using safety guidelines and his daughter’s bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays. As the word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded—along with Mickelson’s bunk bed output. “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage,” he said. “The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”, the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapid growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter and went from making “great money to zero money”. He’s never looked back. “I found that the need I have isn’t financial,” he said. “The need I have is seeing the joy on kids’ faces, knowing that I can make a difference.”【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

Unit 24 SocietyⅠ.阅读理解ATelling fewer lies benefits people physically and mentally. Anita Kelly, study author and professor of psychology at the University of Notre Dame, employed 110 adults for her study. She divided them into two groups and asked one group to stop lying for 10 weeks. Lies included big ones and tiny ones—any false statements—but participants were still allowed to leave out the truth, keep secrets and avoid questions they didn't want to answer, etc. The other group wasn't given any special instructions about lying.It turns out that both groups reduced their lying, but those who were specifically told to tell the truth improved their health more. “We found that the participants could purposefully and dramatically reduce their everyday lies, and that in turn was associated with significantly improved health,〞 said Kelly.When participants in the nolie group told three fewer white lies than they did in other weeks, they experienced, on average, fewer mentalhealth complaints and physical complaints. They were less likely to feel tense or sad and also experienced fewer sore throats and headaches. They also reported that personal relationships improved. Additionally, participants found themselves honest about their daily accomplishments, and they stopped making up excuses for being late or failing to complete a task, for example.“It's certainly a worthy goal to have people be more honest and interact with others in a more honest way,〞says psychologist Robert Feldman. “That would be beneficial, I'm a little doubtful whether it makes us all healthier, but it may make us healthier in a psychological way.〞文章大意:本文是一篇科研报告。

Seeing it falling down,I said to my kids:“I'm going to Afghanistan.”And a few weeks later,International Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care.In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs,we were eventually serving 27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule.Tired and nervous,I gradually had a sense of achievement, a sense of purpose,and my depression went away.In the years to follow,I went to Indonesia after the tsunami(海啸),Pakistan after the earthquakes,Sudan after the civil war, and Iraq after more and more bombs.Each time after disastersone after another, hundreds of people were killed,wounded and many more had to flee.We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees,_and it was supposed to hold 13,000 originally.Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire.Water and food were also serious problems.“Adventures or not?” I often asked myself.When my wife passed away,I thought my life was done.But in reality, it was just getting started.At the end of her life,she went unconscious.I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit and the exciting adventures we would have.I think about the moment many times during my “adventures”.I didn't know how predictive those words would be.But I know that she is still with me.31.Where has the doctor been in the past few years?A.Some countries where he could set up clinics.B.Some African countries where flu broke out.C.The places where the earthquakes happened.D.The places where the horrible disasters struck.32.How would the doctor describe his life after he had worked in Afghanistan?A.Tired and troublesome.B.Busy and risky.C.Meaningful and helpful.D.Frightening and depressing.33.The underlined word “refugees” means people________.A.who are robbed, killed, or woundedB.who suffer from flu in movable clinicsC.who like to take adventuresD.who have lost homes because of disasters34.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The doctor's wife encouraged him to work in foreign countries.B.What the doctor said to his wife before her death became reality.C.The doctor's adventures made him understand the love of his wife.D.With the true love of his wife,the doctor started to change his life.BA T-shirt a day has kept unemployment away for an American man “who is making about $85,000 a year by selling advertising space on his shirt.”Jason Sadler,26,was once a former marketing expert from Florida.In 2008,he founded his own company,“iwear-yourshirt”,with the idea to wear a T-shirt supplied by any company and then use social media tools to develop the company.Sadler charges the “face value”of the day for his human billboard(广告牌)service.So January 1 costs$1,while December 31 costs$365.He said this may not sound like a lot,but it adds up to $66,795 a year if he sells out every day,which he did this year.He also sells monthly sponsorships(赞助)for $1,500, adding another $18,000 to his income.“I walk around,take photos,wear the shirt all day…I blog about those photos,I put them up on Twitter,I change my Facebook introduction…and then I do a Youtube video.I made about $85,000 this year,” he told Reuters Television. The average U.S. income is about $615 a week or about $32,000 a year, according to the U.ernment.Sadler has already begun to plan for his year 2013.He is making services larger by hiring another person to wear a shirt a day on the west coast of the United States.35.What is Sadler's “face value” of the day December 30?A.$364. B.$365.C.$615. D.$1,500.36.It can be inferred that Sadler didn't advertise on________.A.Twitter B.FacebookC.Youtube D.Reuters37.Jason Sadler has a new plan to ________ for the year 2013.A.employ another person to replace himB.start his business on the west coastC.stay at home on the east coastD. double the charge for the service38.The passage is mainly about ________ in a new way.A.taking photos B. writing blogsC.making money D.selling T-shirtsⅣ.短文改错Though great progress have been made in science these years,there are still many people live in poor conditions.They make their lives by collecting or selling used things.Their children cannot go to school because they did not haveenough money to send their children there.How do you think so many people still suffer from poverty now?The answer lies on the population explosion.A president of a developing country once said,“It is us who are to blame for the poverty because we used to ‘produce’ child without limit.”Although this few words sound simple enough,they have clear pointed out one of the causes of the population explosion.答案课时作业(二十四)Ⅰ.1.D考查主谓一致和语态。
