Module 1课时达标训练(四)Ⅰ.阅读理解We all know that Britain and the US are two countries connected by a common language. But in fact, the differences are more fun to observe, as BBC did in a recent story called 8 Situations When Britons Beha v e Differently From Americans. Below are four for you. Take a look.When someone knocks into youIf someone bumps into an American, the victim will most likely look the_accidental_aggressor in the face and expect an apology. If, however, the victim happens to be British, chances are that the victim will say “sorry”before the other can make his or her own apology.When you get dressed for dinnerBritons don't all change into evening dress for supper like what you may have seen in popular TV shows like Do w nton Abbey. But they do tend to make an effort when going out for dinner somewhere nice. Americans, however, will probably wear a casual shirt to a nice restaurant.When you don't finish your foodBritons wouldn't think to take the leftovers home when dining out at a restaurant. They think the food is somehow “tainted (玷污)”once they've put a knife and fork into it. In the US, wrapping it up to take home is a standard practice.When you get into a taxiBritons will give the cab driver an address, then assume that's it for the interaction (交流) until it's time to pay. Even if they're being taken in a roundabout way, they're very unlikely to say anything. In the US, however, most passengers think nothing of telling the driver what route to take after telling him or her the destination.1．What does the underlined phrase “the accidental aggressor”in the text refer to?A．Someone who meets with an accident.B．Someone who is knocked down.C．Someone who knocks into others.D．Someone who is aggressive.2．When someone knocks into an American, the American will ________．A．say “sorry”firstB．get very angryC．expect the other to apologizeD．hit the other in the face3．Why would Britons not take the food left home?A．Because they think it is not clean.B．Because they will lose face if doing so.C．Because the food is not to their taste.D．Because the food is intended for the waiters.4．We can know from the passage that most Americans ________．A．will take the leftovers homeB．like to wear formal clothesC．are aggressiveD．seldom tell the driver what route to takeⅡ.任务型阅读Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain SharpEveryone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit —and that can be a very annoying thing. 1.________ Read on for some techniques worth trying.2．________People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. 3.________ Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.Go for a walk.Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 4.________Learn something new.Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. 5.________ Or go dancing with your friends.A．Focus on the future.B．This can be especially harmful to the aged.C．It should be something like learning gardening.D．So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.E．But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with life-changing events.F．Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.G．In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.Ⅲ.完形填空Many language learners think their pronunciation is good enough because their teacher doesn't correct them too often or because other students can __1__ them.Pronunciation is the area which is __2__ the least attention to in language learning.

Module 3课时达标训练(十二)Ⅰ.阅读理解Jane Austen (1775－1817), one of England's most famous novelists, was never publicly recognised as a writer during her lifetime. Jane Austen was born in Steventon, Hampshire and the second daughter and seventh child in a family of eight. She was mainly educated at home, benefiting from her father's library. Her closest friend was her only sister, Cassandra. Though Austen lived a quiet life, she had unusual access to the greater world, mainly through her brothers, Francis and Charles, officers in the Royal Navy, who served on ships around the world and saw action in the Napoleonic Wars.As a child Austen began writing comic stories, now referred to as the juvenilia (少年时代作品)．Her first mature work, written when she was about 19, was a novella (中篇小说), Lady Susan, written in epistolary (书信体的) form. This early fiction was preserved by her family but wasn't published until long after her death.In her early twenties Austen wrote the novels Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice, one of her best-known novels, which was finished in 1797. When Austen was 25 years old, her father retired, and she and Cassandra moved with their parents to Bath. During the five years she lived in Bath, Austen began one novel, The Watsons, which she never completed. In 1811, Austen published Sense and Sensibility, which identified the author as “A Lady”. Pride and Prejudice followed in 1813, Mansfield Park in 1814, and Emma in 1815. For some reason, all of them were published not using her name. Austen began writing the novel that would be called Persuasion in 1815 and finished it the following year, by which time, however, her health was beginning to fail. Austen died on July 18, 1817 because of her illness and a few days later she was buried in Winchester Cathedral.1．How many boys were there in the Austens?A．Two. B．Six.C．Seven. D．Eight.2．How did Jane Austen get her education when she was young?A．She studied at home in her father's library.B．She was taught by her two brothers.C．She studied in a private school.D．She was taught by her sister.3．We can learn from the last paragraph that________．A．Sense and Sensibility was published using the name of Jane AustenB．Jane Austen felt upset because her novels weren't recognisedC．Pride and Prejudice was published sixteen years after it was completedD．the Austens moved to Bath for the benefit of Jane's health4．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Jane Austen's Early LifeB．Jane Austen's Great WorksC．Way to Success for Jane AustenD．A Brief Introduction to Jane AustenⅡ.任务型阅读Every year, thousands of students choose to study in another country for a term, or a year.

Module 6课时达标训练(二十一)阅读理解ADr. Sylvia Earle wants you to stop eating fish. It's not because fish are endangered, though wild fish stocks in many oceans are very low. It's not because they're bad for you, though fish in many areas are exposed to poisonous substances in the water. It's because they're smart.“Fish are sensitive and they have personalities，”says the marine biologist. For Earle, eating fish would be like eating a dog or a cat. “I would never eat anyone I know personally.”There's a lot more to fish than meets the eye: they talk to each other, they like to be touched, and they engage in behavior that can seem very human. They can remember things and learn from experience. Earle and a growing number of animal right activists see these as strong arguments against eating fish altogether.The activists also point out that fish feel pain and fish suffer horribly on their way from the sea to the supermarket. “While it may seem conspicuous that fish are able to feel pain, like every other animal, some people think of fish as swimming vegetables，”says Dr. Lynne Sneddon. “Really, it's kind of a moral question. Is the enjoyment you get from fishing (or eating fish) more important than the pain of the fish？”Fishermen and (fried) fish lovers are skeptical. “I've never seen a smart fish，”says Marie Swaringen as she finishes off a plate of fish at a Seattle seafood restaurant. “If they were very smart, they wouldn't get caught.”“For years, everyone's been telling us to eat fish because it's so good for us，”says another diner. “Now I've got to feel guilty while I'm eating my fish? What are they going to think of next? Don't eat salad because cucumbers have feelings？”1．According to Dr. Sylvia Earle, he would stop eating fish as a result of the following reasons EXCEPT ________.A．fish are sensitive and have personalitiesB．he knows fish very wellC．fish are dangerous to eat because the water is pollutedD．fish are clever2．Dr. Lynne Sneddon describes the behavior of eating fish in a(n) ________ tone.A．opposed B．optimisticC．indifferent D．supportive3．What does the underlined word “conspicuous”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Obvious. B．Easy.C．Impossible. D．Necessary.4．What was the author's purpose when writing this passage?A．To advise people to stop eating fish.B．To introduce a topic of whether people should eat fish.C．To advise people not to stop eating fish.D．To tell us that fish will feel pain when caught and transported.BAnimal ConservationMany animal and plant species have become extinct and many more are in critical danger. Finding ways to protect the earth's wildlife and conserve the natural world they inhabit (居住) is now more important than ever.The DodoThe Dodo is a classic example of how human caused damage to the earth's biology. The flightless Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. The easily controlled bird became a source of food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to the island by humans such as pigs, monkeys and rats. The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and the last one was killed in 1681.RhinosThe Rhino (犀牛) horn is a highly prized item for Asian medicine. This has led to the animal being hunted in its natural habitat. Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia, most rhinos now live in protected natural parks and reserves. Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last 50 years, and the animals remain under constant threat from poachers.The Giant PandaThe future of the WWF's symbol is far from certain. As few as 1，000 remain in the wild. The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves to protect these beautiful animals. However, the panda's distinct black and white patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined poachers still pose (造成) one of the most serious threats to the animals.WhalesDespite the fact that one-third of the world's oceans have been declared whale sanctuaries (保护区), 7 out of 13 whale species remain endangered. Hunted for their rich supply of oil, their numbers have decreased to just 300. Collisions (碰撞) with ships, poisonous pollution and being caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths.TigersThe last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between 5，000 and 7，000 and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct. The South China tiger is precariously close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive. Like the Rhino horn, tigers' bones and organs are sought after for traditional Chinese medicines. These items are traded illegally along with tiger skins.5．Which group of the following animals has already ceased to exist according to the text?A．The Dodo, Rhino and Giant Panda.B．The Rhino, Whale and South China Tiger.C．The Rhino, Panda, Whale and Tiger.D．The Dodo and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers.6．________ can serve as a cure for certain diseases.A．The whale's rich oilB．The panda's black and white patched coatC．The Rhino horn and tigers' bones and organsD．The Dodo's delicious meat7．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．The number of South China tigers has reached crisis point.B．Many animals are threatened with extinction as a result of human activity.C．People hunt for the endangered animals for high profit.D．The whale is the representing mark for the WWF.8．Which of the following is mentioned in all the descriptions of those wild animals?A．The way of their life.B．The reason for their extinction or being in danger.C．Why they are hunted.D．Punishment for hunting wild animals.CAlthough similar in appearance to hyenas (土狼), African wild dogs are nevertheless true wild canines (犬). They are a mixture of black, yellow, and white in such a wide variety of patterns that no two individuals look exactly alike. African wild dogs are widely distributed across the African plains but they do not live in jungle areas.They are social animals, living in groups of usually from 2 to 45 individuals. A hierarchy (统团) exists within the group, but the animals are friendly to one another. The young and the infirm(体弱的) are given special privileges within the group.African wild dogs use their sense of sight, not smell, to find their prey. They can run up to 55 km/h for several kilometers. In eastern Africa, they mostly hunt Thomson's gazelles, but they will also attack calves, warthogs, zebras, impalas, and the young of large antelopes such as the gnu.Growing human populations have decreased or degraded the African wild dog's habitat and also diminished their available prey. Road kill and human persecution (迫害) have also had a negative impact on African wild dog populations. This species is also susceptible to a variety of diseases such as distemper, which is controlled in domestic dogs.Conservation of the African wild dog's natural habitat must have the highest priority, as these dogs suffer in habitats modified by human intrusion (干扰)．9．From the passage we can conclude that________．A．African wild dogs are completely different from domestic dogs in size and weightB．African wild dogs are living in groupsC．African wild dogs use their eyes mostly when sleeping to guardD．African wild dogs use their noses to find their food in most cases10．What can we know about African wild dogs?A．In a pack there may be about 90 wild dogs and no leader.B．There are no such wild dogs that are different.C．African wild dogs can run at a speed of about 15 m/s for a long distance.D．All African wild dogs kill zebras, impalas and antelopes as their food.11．What can we infer from the passage?A．African wild dogs are not in danger, because there are such a wide variety of patterns.B．African wild dogs are not in danger, because they are widely distributed across the African plains.C．African wild dogs are in danger, because humans' activities have a great effect on them.D．African wild dogs are in danger, because their habitats have been changed much.12．What factors affect the population of the wild dogs?a．the distribution of the dogsb．social livingc．highly increasing human populationsd．humans' killing the dogse．many diseasesf．the changes of their habitatsg．domestic dogsh．food reductionA．a，b，c，d，e B．b，c，d，e，fC．c，d，e，f，h D．d，e，f，g，h答案：语篇解读：有人认为应该停止吃鱼，因为他们认为鱼是聪明的，有感受，有个性。

Module 4课时达标训练(十三)阅读理解AThere are a number of special days of the year that are celebrated in different countries. The origins of most of the days are unknown. They were certainly not created by individual people. Other days, however, especially those celebrated in western countries, often owe their origins to a particular person. One of the most popular of these, even though it is fairly recent, is Mother's Day. Mothers have always been highly regarded in all cultures. The ancient Romans had a festival known as Hilario, during which children took presents to the temple of the “Mother of the Gods”. The Christian Church adopted this idea and called it Mothering Sunday. However, over the years this custom was gradually forgotten and almost disappeared by the end of the 19th century.Born in 1864 in Virginia, USA, Anna Jarvis was a school teacher and believed children should show gratitude to their mothers for all their love and care. Encouraged by a friend, she wrote to thousands of important people —politicians, churchmen, doctors, city officials —and asked them to support her idea: a special day of the year for thanking mothers.In 1910 the Governor of West Virginia introduced Mother's Day into the state. The date chosen was May 10 —the second Sunday in May, which is still observed in America today. This date was chosen because May 10 was the date on which in 1908 Anna Jarvis's mother had died. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made May 10 the official date for Mother's Day throughout the United States.Soon there was a Mother's Day International Association and the custom began to be adopted in many countries of the world.Anna Jarvis, a sad and disillusioned (失望的) woman, died in 1948. The custom she had worked so hard to establish and which had become almost universal had lost its original purpose. It had been taken over by business.

In October, pumpkins can be found everywhere in the country from door steps to dinner tables. People have been making Jack O'Lantern at Halloween for centuries. The tradition originated from an Irish myth about a man nicknamed “Stingy Jack”．According to the story, Stingy Jack invited the Devil to have a drink with him. True to his name, Stingy Jack didn't want to pay for his drink, so he convinced the Devil to turn himself into a coin that Jack could use to buy their drinks. Once the Devil did so, Jack decided to keepthe money and put it into his pocket next to a silver cross, which prevented the Devil from changing back into his original form.Jack eventually freed the Devil, under the condition that he would not bother Jack for one year and that if Jack died, he wouldn't claim his soul.The next year, Jack again tricked the Devil into climbing into a tree to pick a piece of fruit, while he was up in the tree, Jack carved a sign of the cross into the tree's bark, so that the Devil couldn't come down until he promised Jack not to bother him for ten more years.Soon after, Jack died. As the legend goes, God would not allow such a boring figure into heaven. The Devil, upset by the trick Jack had played on him and keeping his words not to claim his soul, wouldn't allow Jack into hell. He sent Jack off into the dark night with only a burning coal to light his way.Jack put the coal into a carved out turnip and has been roaming (漫游) the Earth with the “lantern” ever since. The Irish began to refer to this ghostly figure as “Jack of the Lantern”，and then, simply “Jack O'Lantern”．9．In October, pumpkins can be found everywhere in the country from door steps to dinner tables because ________．A．people like to eat pumpkinsB．Americans grow a lot of pumpkinsC．pumpkins are beautiful decorationD．pumpkins are popular things used to celebrate Halloween10．According to the passage, we know that Jack was a(n) ________ man.A．clever B．lonelyC．mean D．honest11．When playing a second trick on the Devil, Jack was most likely to ________．A．have a piece of fruit to eatB．carve a sign of the cross into the tree's barkC．get another promise from the Devil not to bother himD．get the Devil not to come down from the tree forever12．After Jack died, ________．A．God didn't allow him into heaven because he was afraid to be trickedB．the Devil didn't allow him into hell because he didn't want to be tricked any moreC．he could go into neither heaven nor hellD．he preferred to roam the Earth with a burning coal in a carved out turnip lantern答案：语篇解读：本文主要介绍了母亲节的由来。

Module 2课时达标训练(五)阅读理解AIf you're looking for a new job, you know you're going to have to answer some tough questions in the interview process. But did you know there are some questions that are illegal for employers to ask you?Here are three common questions that interviewers shouldn't ask, under the law.Who will take care of your children while you're at work?Even if you've shared information about having children, there's no need for an employer to ask who's taking care of them, says Tom Spiggle of the Spiggle Law Firm. The law prohibits making employment decisions based on gender (性别) stereotypes (固定思维), he explains. “For example, that women or men with children are less devoted to work than those witho ut.”“Note, however, that it would not be illegal not to offer a job opportunity to a candidate (候选人) who volunteered, ‘I have young children and can't work past 4：30，’when the job requires evening work，”Spiggle says. “Such a decision would be based on work restrictions offered by the candidate, not because of improper stereotype.”How did you get that scar/mark/other physical abnormality (畸形)?“The ADA prohibits not only discrimination (歧视) against those with an actual disability, but against those who are regarded as disabled，”says Kelly Kolb, labor and employment attorney at Fowler White Boggs. “Questions about an employee's physical characteristics are prohibited, just as are questions about a person's actual disability.”Have you ever been arrested?It's legal to ask about whether candidates have been convicted (宣判有罪) of a crime, but not if they've been arrested, says Shari Shore of Wolf and Shore Law. Cases may have been dismissed (驳回) without a conviction, or the original charges may have been lowered to lesser (更少) charges.1．The underlined word “prohibits”in the passage means “________”．A．bans B．allowsC．permits D．requires2．An employer may think a woman with children is ________.A．more hard-working than one withoutB．less hard-working than one withoutC．more experienced in workD．good at work3．In America, it is________for an employer to ask a candidate's physical disability.A．legal B．illegalC．uncommon D．unnecessary4．According to the last paragraph, we know________．A．it is right that an employer asks you if you've been arrestedB．it is illegal that an employer asks you if you have been convictedC．an employer must not ask you any personal questionsD．the question whether you have been convicted is allowed by lawBThe principles about applying for jobs have altered greatly lately. In the past, people preferred a hand-written application letter. However, nowadays it is becoming more and more common to apply for a job through the Internet. You can find information on the Internet about how to apply for jobs. Information can be found about how to fulfill your application letter, the clothes that you should wear and how to carry out the interview itself.The importance of body language is often mentioned, but doesn't always get the attention it deserves. After all, before a word has even been spoken, your body language will have already given people their first impression of you. Additionally, your body language will also give out a lot more information. Based on your body language it can be seen if you are self-confident. It can also show if you are a busy or a quiet type and it helps give an impression of whether you are speaking truthfully or not. Body language can show how enthusiastic you are and if you are a nice person. Someone who will take his work seriously, but also someone who has a sense of humor and can enjoy a joke from time to time. The members of the application committee will ask you questions, but your answers won't only be oral. The committee will not only pay attention to what you say, but also to how you say it！Body language will determine first if it clicks, and sometimes all it takes is just a few seconds. Everybody uses body language, but it takes place mostly at a subconscious (下意识的) ing body language appropriately, you can definitely increase your chances of getting a job.5．What kind of people is the text mainly meant for?A．Interviewers.

It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses. Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Website to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do.For example, there is a book called What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)? by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles.She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests.

I knew that if I didn't train to my fullest, the doctors would win.So I trained seven days a week.And I succeeded in crossing the finish lines of many marathons all over the United States to the astonishment of my doctors.They never believed I would achieve that.The aches and pains I experience while training and racing are nothing compared to the suffering people whom I respect must accept.5．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 1?A．She loved running very much.B．She lost heart after the accident.C．She often felt it was hard to breathe.D．She didn't believe what the doctors said.6．The author tried jogging because she wanted to ________．A．protect her feet B．get more practiceC．save some time D．catch up with others7．Why did the author decide to join in the marathon?A．Because she wanted to make more friends.B．Because she was so sorry for the loss of a friend.C．Because she wanted to prove the doctors were wrong.D．Because she was encouraged by her dead friend's words.8．The writer's story tells us ________．A．where there is a will, there is a wayB．a friend in need is a friend indeedC．by falling we learn to go safelyD．a good medicine tastes bitterCLondon —Having first played together as teenagers, Hsieh Su-wei and Peng Shuai won their first Grand Slam title with a 7－6 (1), 6－1 victory Saturday over Australian duo Ashleigh Barty and Casey Dellacqua in the women's doubles final at Wimbledon.Hsieh became the first player from Taiwan to win a Grand Slam title while Peng gave the Chinese mainland its first doubles title at a major in seven years.“It's very special because I don't think tennis is popular in Taiwan，”Hsieh said. “We didn't see many media during this tournament.We're very proud we can win this tournament together with my good friend. It's our first title, for Taiwan, so I think it's a big thing in Taiwan.”The pair, who are both 27, played a few tournaments together as amateurs but ended their partnership after turning professional. After a seven-year hiatus,_Hsieh asked Peng at the 2008 US Open if she would be up for a renewed (重建的) association.The duo reunited by the end of that year 2008 and won their first 11 matches, claiming titles in Bali and Sydney.

But for those trying to go someplace, it may seem more disappointment than pleasure. This year, the severe traffic jam resulted in a roadside wedding.The suffering of being stuck in traffic was probably most strongly felt by Lv Kangzhou and his bride Yan Mengxia. By tradition, the groom drove early in the morning to the bride's home in Zhejiang Province in East China to pick her up along with her family and take them to his family's hometown for the wedding. By 4 pm, Lv's wedding was 90 minutes away, but his car had not moved an inch for a long time. Lv contacted the local radio to explain his difficult situation and ask for a traffic forecast. The radio host told Lv there was no way he could hold his wedding ontime and offered to hold their wedding on the air. At 5：30 pm, Lv and his bride said their vows on the side of the road, and Lv's family and friends witnessed the ceremony by listening to the radio.Lv wasn't the only person stuck in the Golden Week crowds. According to the state news agency Xinhua, 11.7 million people traveled by train on Wednesday. It calculated that 120，000 people gathered at Tian'anmen Square in Beijing to watch the flag­raising ceremony. Last year, the Forbidden City in Beijing hosted 175，000 tourists on a single day during the Golden Week, and the number is expecting to be even bigger this year.Chinese Internet users routinely complain about the Golden Week holiday every year.

Module 4课时达标训练(十六)Ⅰ.阅读理解The New Year is a time for celebration for almost everyone of the world. In Britain, people go to pubs and nightclubs to dance the old year away, and to welcome in the new one at midnight.In recent years, street parties have become more popular. Thousands of people gather in squares, main streets or on the river banks to listen to bands playing and to see fireworks displays.For people who stay at home, most are attracted by the special, live New Year shows on TV. They are waiting for the countdown, along with the presenters, from 10 to 1 as the last second of the old year away and the bells of the New Year are rung.In Scotland, people visit their neighbors and drink, dance on New Year's Eve. If you're invited to a Scottish home that night, it's important to know what to bring with you: a lump of coal, some shortbread and some whisky.The coal shows warmth, so you're wishing the people you visit will have enough heat in the coming year. The shortbread represents food, so you're hoping that the people will have enough to eat in the new year. Some Scots call whisky “the water of life”，so when you hand over your bottle to your hosts, it means you want them to have enough to drink over the next 12 months.And there's one more key task you still have to perform if you can. The first person to knock on a neighbor's door is supposed to be a tall, dark, and handsome man who will bring good luck to the household. But what if that's not you? Well, don't ring the bell just yet. Wait a while and the_right_person is sure to turn up soon!1．What is the best title for this passage?A．Seeing the old year off in BritainB．Celebrations of a Scottish New YearC．Visiting Scottish homes on New Year's EveD．Sending good luck in the New Year2．Why do visitors take things to a Scottish home on New Year's Eve?A．To share good food and warmth.B．To help those poor families.C．To send best wishes to the families.D．To show richness and generosity.3.The phrase “the right person”in the last sentence refers to “________”．A．the presenter of a special TV showB．a tall, dark and handsome manC．a man with coal, shortbread and whiskyD．your neighbor4．We know from the passage that ________．A．British people hate to think of the old year and wish to dance it away quicklyB．street concerts have become more popular on New Year's EveC．British people let off fireworks in public places to celebrate the New YearD．people stay at home doing nothing but wait for the bell of the New Year to ringⅡ.任务型阅读Ali is from a Middle Eastern country.

Module 1课时达标训练(一)阅读理解AAmerican and British people use different greetings. In the USA the commonest greeting is “Hi！”. In Britain it is “Hello！” or “How are you？”. “Hi！” is creeping (不知不觉地进入) into British English, too. When they are introduced to someone, the Americans say, “Glad to know you.”The British say, “How do you do？” or “Pleased to meet you.” When Americans say “Goodbye”，they nearly always add “Have a good day.”or “Have a good trip.” to friends and strangers alike. Britons are already beginning to use “Have a good day.”The British usually use “got”in the sense of “have”. The Americans hardly ever do.American English: Do you have a car, room, etc.？Yes, I do. British English: Have you got a car, room, etc.？Yes, I have.Many American words ending in “or”，e．g. honor, labor are spelt in British English with an “our”，e．g. honour, labour. Many verbs in American English with “ize”or “izing”forms, e．anize, realizing are spelt in British English with “ise” or “ising”，e．g. organise, realising. In American English, “practice”is used both for the verb and noun. In British English, the verb is spelt “practise”，and the noun “practice”. In American English, one writes “traveler”，while in British English, one writes “traveller”．It was once predicted that British and American English would become separate languages finally. But the opposite has happened. The links between the two countries are so strong that linguistically (语言上地), and probably culturally too, they are closer together than ever.1．The Americans hardly say “________”．A．Goodbye. Have a good day!B．Glad to know you!C．Hi!D．Have you got a car?2．What does the third paragraph talk about?A．There are lots of differences in spelling between American English and British English.B．The reasons why the Americans and the British use different spellings.C．There are few differences in spelling between American English and British English.D．The different usages of words in American English and British English.3．Which of the following is TRUE?A．The two languages must become separate languages.B．American English will be used more and more.C．The two languages may be closer and closer.D．British English will be used more and more.4．The underlined word “predicted”means “________”．A．explained B．foretoldC．considered D．provedBThe English language was introduced to the Americans through British colonization in the early 17th century and it spread to many parts of the world. Over the years, English spoken in the United States and in Britain are different in many ways.Differences in vocabularyWhile a word may mean something in British English, it might mean something else in American English. For example: an athlete in British English is one who joins in track and field events (田径比赛), but an athlete in American English is one who participates in sports in general.__________________There are also a few differences between British English and American English in the use of prepositions. For example: while the British would play in a team, Americans would play on a team. Another example: while the British would go out at the weekend, Americans would go out on the weekend.Differences in verb usageAmerican and British English may also use a base verb in different manners. For example: for the verb “dream”，Americans would use the past tense “dreamed” while the British would use “dreamt”in the past tense. The same applies to “learned”and “learnt”.Another example of differing past tense spellings for verbs in American and British English is “forecast”. Americans use “forecast” while the British would say “forecasted” in the simple past tense. These words have the same meanings.Differences in time tellingBoth languages have a different structures of telling the time. While the British would say a quarter past ten to express 10：15, it is uncommon in America to say a quarter after or even a quarter past ten. Thirty minutes after the hour is commonly called half past in both languages. Americans always write digital time with a colon, thus 6：00, but the British often use a point, 6：00.5．An athlete in American English refers to a person who ________．A．takes part in any kind of sportB．enters into track and field eventsC．has won medals in sports meetingsD．has the qualification to attend the Olympic Games6．Which of the following can fill the blank?A．Differences in oral languageB．Differences in pronunciationC．Differences in the use of tensesD．Differences in the use of prepositions7．Which one is CORRECT from the passage?A．Using half past two is common in America.B．The Americans usually use “-t”to show a past tense verb.C．There is no difference between American English and British English.D．If you use British English in America, the Americans will not understand what you are saying.8．By writing the passage, the author wants to ________．A．underline the importance of learning a second languageB．encourage people to learn different languages and culturesC．tell readers some differences between American English and British EnglishD．explain why there are so many differences between American English and British EnglishCIt is said that a great many things about languages are mysterious, and many will always be so. But some things we do know.Firstly, we know that all human beings have a language of some kind. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. In historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language.Secondly, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are underdeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated. Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have guessed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises. Study has proved this to benonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. This means each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.Finally, we know that language changes. It's natural and normal for language to change; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.9．In the 2nd paragraph the author thinks that ________．A．some backward races don't have a language of their ownB．some races in history didn't possess a language of their ownC．any human race, whether backward or not, has a languageD．some races on earth can communicate without a language10．As the author says, people of underdeveloped cultures can have ________ languages.A．complicated B．uncivilizedC．primitive D．well-known11．American Indian languages are mentioned to prove that they are ________．A．as fully developed as some well-known languagesB．more primitive than some well-known languagesC．more complex than some well-known languagesD．just as primitive as some well-known languages12．According to the author, language changes are most likely appear in ________．A．grammar B．vocabularyC．intonation D．pronunciation答案：语篇解读：本文主要介绍了英式和美式英语之间的差异，最后预测最终两种语言将变成不同的语言或越来越接近。

Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find a fault in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sport setting young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters' performances. Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive support motivates (激发) and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.1．An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is to ________．A．make sports less competitiveB．increase their sense of successC．reduce their mental stressD．make sports more challenging2．According to the passage, sport is positive for young people in that it________．A．can help them learn more about societyB．enables them to find faults in themselvesC．can provide them with valuable experiencesD．teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves3．Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes ________．A．believing that criticism is beneficial to their early developmentB．without realizing criticism may destroy their self-confidenceC．in order to make them remember life's lessonsD．so as to put more pressure on them4．The author's purpose in writing the passage is to ________．A．teach young athletes how to avoid burnoutB．persuade young children not to worry about criticismC．stress the importance of positive support to childrenD．discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragementBSouthwest Florida International Airport has been using dogs to drive birds away from the airport since 1999. The airport is now served by its third generation of border collies (边境牧羊犬), which are part of a bird-dog training program.About 20 airports around the US now use border collies to drive birds away, especially large birds, which once had many collisions (冲撞) with airplanes at those airports. According to a 2000 report on the use of border collies at six airports, the number of large birds was reduced by 99% after the use of the border collies.Air crashes resulting from collisions with wildlife cause more than $600 million a year in damage and have cost several hundred lives. According to the US Bird Strike Committee, 90% of the birds are protected species, but many of the measures that people used in the past to drive the birds away often killed the birds.The border collies are seen as a positive, useful solution for preventing wildlife from getting in the way of aircraft. The border collies that have been trained to drive birds away will keep harassing (攻击) the birds until they leave. A border collie is dogged and he will harass and harass until the birds fly away. He doesn't kill them. He just runs after them, driving them in the direction they should fly. Though birds get used to the sounds or lights used to scare them, they don't get used to a border collie. He is always viewed as an enemy for them.Early reports suggest that a bird strike caused a plane to crash in the Hudson River near Manhattan today. Perhaps today's “crash on the Hudson”will encourage more airports to use trained bird-dogs to protect their passengers, employees, planes and the surrounding wildlife. Additionally, they would be helping to give homeless dogs jobs they really love to do.5．The first paragraph is written to lead into ________．A．a discussion of the use of border collies at airportsB．an introduction to how the airport values air safetyC．an introduction to the characters of border colliesD．some safety measures taken by airports6．According to the passage, many measures that people took before to drive birds away ________．A．put the airports into a dangerous situationB．had no effect on the birds' behaviorC．caused the birds to be in dangerD．cost the airports a lot of money7．The underlined word “dogged”in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”．A．smart B．lovelyC．brave D．determined8．Which of the following can best describe the writer's attitude to using dogs into airports?A．When in Rome, do as the Romans do.B．A bad beginning makes for a bad ending.C．Kill two birds with one stone.D．Two heads are better than one.Ⅴ.任务型阅读Five Ways to Save You Missing TimeRecognize Where Time Is Wasted.In order to begin a time management program, you need to find out exactly where you are wasting the most time. 1.________ Look at those areas and start working on them every day. Slacking off here or there won't help you. Be strict.Get Some Tools.Getting your life organized will help your time management because you won't have to think about what is coming up next on your schedule. You can also look up directions if you have a meeting, what restaurants are nearby, and a million other handy things to save yourself some time. Some people use their iPhone for these functions and some still use the Palm Pilot system.2.________Multi-Task While Eating.3．________ At least check your e-mail or read over a project you have to work on in the afternoon while you are eating that big fish sandwich. If you read in your free time, do it during lunch to give you some extra time later when you are usually reading.4．________Each night, there needs to be a moment when you review what will be happening the next day. If you have somewhere to be at 8：30 am, plan accordingly. Set your alarm to wake up earlier. Plan your route to avoid as much of the morning traffic rush as possible. It will only take a coupleof minutes to refer to your schedule, but will save you tons of time the next day.Priorities (优先考虑的事)．5．________ Sorting out your record collection instead of doing your business is probably not a smart move. Make a list of things you need to do — no matter how small — and put them in order. You can then deal with projects and tasks as they move up the list instead of trying to do pieces of projects at the same time. That just keeps you unfocused and wasting time.A．Just staring at the wall while eating is a great time waster, which is not a good thing.B．Making sure you are trying to finish a task in order is also a key to managing your time.C．Whatever you use, make sure you can surf the net and add daily arrangements to your daily schedule at ease.D．It is wise only to do one thing at a time.E．Likely, there will be many areas where you need better time management.F．Set an alarm every day.G．Plan Ahead.Ⅵ.课时书面表达训练(根据汉语提示完成下面小作文)Mr. Wang was an excellent player when he was young and he often ____________ (训练) in the stadium. ____________ (退休后), he became a trainer.

Module 2课时达标训练(八)Ⅰ.阅读理解Several dollars equal nothing for some people, but make a difference for others. Steve has just lost his wife to cancer and everything they had is gone due to the treatment. He now lives in the shelter for the homeless. So we know each other.Just like other homeless people, he didn't think he needed anything. But once he mentioned to me he needed eye glasses. His voice hesitated a bit, he looked down, and it appeared like he thought such a request was just a dream. Too much to hope for? It was as if his wish were known by me only.I submitted an application for him to a program that is supposed to provide a free eye examination and glasses. Three months later, I phoned to ask what was up with the appointment but they told me there was a cash flow problem until late summer.Steve showed disappointment, thanked me and started to walk away. I said, “Hold on, I will figure out a way to get you an eye examination and glasses.”His face lit up a tiny bit. He had seen some of the things I have done for other people in our shelter and to me it looked like he might have a line of hope.I took a picture of him and posted his picture and his story in the Twitter. In about 4 days, eight people from around the world donated $25 each and one person donated $40 and I made up the rest to get him an eye exam and glasses.Steve picked up his glasses on Wednesday: May 11th, 2011. Today Steve has returned to a previous job he had in a nearby car wash. Because he now has glasses he will be able to see what he is doing while cleaning the vehicles. He is starting a second job at a pet center next week!1．We can learn from the first two paragraphs that________．A．it took a long time to treat Steve's wifeB．homeless people never ask for anythingC．Steve was too embarrassed to ask for helpD．the author and Steve have been friends for years2．The program failed to satisfy Steve because________．A．it was already out of businessB．it had some trouble in financeC．Steve didn't submit the application himselfD．it's not designed for people like Steve3．What can be inferred from the passage?A．The program was closed three months ago.B．Steve used to work as a salesman in a car factory.C．Steve got $240 in total from kind-hearted people.D．The author might be a volunteer in the shelter.Ⅱ.任务型阅读Five Things Y ou Should Know about Staying in Hotels Hunting for the perfect hotel?
