Unit 2 The United KingdomI .阅读理解A(2020 •郑州市第三次质量检测)r m now living in the south of France with my husband Keith and three small children , and [ feel like 旦fish out of water everywhere but one place一the Saturday street market. It's been operating in our small town of Sommieres since the 13th century, but we've only lived here for three months.From Monday to Friday, life is all about the kids. I'm busy helping my children deal with life in a French school. It's not easy, and their stress is the whole family,s stress, as Keith and I are occupied with the daily school run, piles of homework and school notes in French.But on Saturday, the market is for me. I feel so peaceful as I walk along the quiet street toward the busy town square. The knife- sharpening man is there, operating a machine that looks like it dates from the Industrial Revolution. There,re street musicians with guitars and microphones, and the sound of beautiful songs fills the air. And the food, of course, is delicious. The cheese man doesn,t speak一he just points and cuts, offering a piece from his knife. Lines come out of the door for fresh bread at the bakery. Organic vegetables, herbs and desserts are a feast for the eyes, before being put into the bag to be enjoyed later for lunch. The noises and smells of the market are unfamiliar, but their procedures are clear to me. This is part of why I love the place so much:Unlike during the week, when I'm constantly faced with my own difficulties, I know how this place works. My terrible French isn,t the barrier to communication that it is in other circumstances.At school and in the village, I can,t joke or join a conversation, and although the other parents at school are kind, I'm an outsider. But at the market, I'm justanother customer with a basket. Surrounded by day trippers, I feel like a local 一greeting people I know and petting dogs.My Saturday experiences allow me to hope that in the near future I'll feel equallyconfident in my everyday life. Until then, Saturdays prepare me for the coming week of the school run.语篇解读 作者一家在法国南部生活时间不长,由于语言不通,人生地不熟,且作者忙于孩子们在法语学校的日常生活和学业,新的环境让作者觉得不舒服,只有一个地方除外, 那就是周六街市。

Unit 2 The United KingdomⅠ.阅读理解A[2022·桂林市、崇左市联合模拟考试]The world is a greener place than it was 20 years ago. A study published in the journal Nature Sustainability said that recent satellite data reveals a greening pattern that is prominent (显著的) in China and India. The study shows that human activity in China and India dominates this greening of the planet, thanks to tree planting and agriculture. The effect comes mostly from ambitious treeplanting programs in China and intensive agriculture in both countries.“China and India account for onethird of the greening,〞 said lead author Chi Chen of Boston University. “That is a surprising finding, considering the vague idea of land degradation (毁坏) in populous countries from overexploitation,〞 added Chen.China alone accounts for 25 percent of the global net increase in leaf area with only 6.6 percent of global vegetated area. The greening in China is from forests (42 percent) and croplands(32 percent), but in India, it is mostly from croplands (82 percent) with the minor contribution from forests (4.4 percent).China's outsized contribution to the global greening trend comes in large part from its programs to conserve and expand forests with the goal of preventing land degradation, air pollution, and climate change.“Once people realize there is a problem, they tend to fix it,〞 said Rama Nemani, research scientist and coauthor of the study. “In the 1970s and 80s in India and China, the situation around vegetation loss was not good. In the 1990s, people realized it, and today things have improved. Now we see that humans are contributing.〞Land area used to grow crops is comparable in China and India —more than 770,000 square miles — and has not changed much since the early 2000s. Yet these regions have greatly increased both their annual total green leaf area and their food production.This was achieved through multiple cropping practices, where a field is replanted to produce another harvest several times a year. Production of grains, vegetables, fruits and more has increased by about 35%~40% since 2 000 to feed their largepopulations.1.What did the study mainly find?A.India and China are leading the global greening effort.B.Intensive agriculture is the cause of global land degradation.C.China and India has got the largest forest coverage in the world.D.Agriculture is more helpful in expanding green areas than treeplanting.2.How is China different from India in contributing to the global greening?A.India reduced croplands to prevent the overexploitation.B.India increased forest by planting around croplands.C.China changed more lands into forest by planting trees.D.China controlled the increase of its population.3.What does Nemani think about humans in China and India in protecting the Earth?A.Ambitious. B.Responsible.C.Passionate. D.Tolerant.4.What does the passage finally suggest humans should make good use of?A.Forest. B.Trees.C.Croplands. D.Food.B[2022·山西六校第二次阶段性测试]In 2022, Gabby Frost founded Buddy Project when she was 15. At that time, her best friend had been diagnosed (诊断) with a mental health condition, and that was the first time she was made aware of what mental illness was. She wanted to learn more and develop a good support system for her.Mental illness affects tens of millions of people in the United States each year, yet only half receive treatment, according to the National Institutes of Mental Health. Buddy Project's website says the service is not a substitute for therapy (治疗) or other types of mental health care, and it directs people to resources for further help.Since founding the organization as a high school student, Frost has helped more than 200,000 participants find a new friend. On the day when Buddy Project was launched, she used her powerful social media presence to attract nearly 3,000 participants. “This was around the time when teens really began talking about mental health and found a supportive community online to talk about it,〞 she said.One of the biggest social barriers she had to jump over was that people didn't view her seriously because she was a 15yearold girl, and even now, she's still ayoung woman. “Sometimes it's frustrating because people don't think what I do is needed or they don't think I'm professional,〞she said. “Most people are blown a way that a 20yearold girl is running this and that it's one person doing this but not a whole team. I'm just lucky that I've found a support system that has been able to help my mom and me with the project.〞5.Why did Gabby Frost set up Buddy Project?A.To treat her mental disease.B.To know what causes mental illness.C.To help her friend to fight the mental disease.D.To cure those with mental disease.6.What can we infer from paragraph 2?A.Americans pay little attention to mental health.B.Many Americans have trouble with mental health.C.Buddy Project provides financial aid for patients.D.Buddy Project can cure those with mental disease.7.What problem did Frost face?A.She couldn't get support from her mother.B.She couldn't help so many patients at a time.C.She wasn't able to attract enough participants.D.She wasn't thought well of because of her age.8.How do most people feel about young Frost's running the project alone?A.Completely defeated. B.Totally convinced.C.Strongly impressed. D.Fully satisfied.Ⅱ.七选五[2022·成都诊断]Society tells us that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. But it doesn't have to be that way. A new study published in Human Development points out that using a proper approach to learning can help people of any age take on and rise to new challenges. __1__Venture outside your comfort zone. As adults, we tend to use similar skills day in and day out: We take jobs in fields we're already good at, drive the same routes to the same places, and fall into routines we're comfortable with. __2__ Switching to something more challenging may have more cognitive benefits.__3__ A fear of making mistakes is another reason adults are so slow to learn new things; if we try and fail, we can face criticism, lose money, or get fired. That'swhy it's important to build up a support network of people — at work and at home — who allow you to make mistakes and learn from them.Make a serious commitment and don't give up. __4__ If you can afford it, spending money on a new pursuit —for example, booking a trip to Rome to practice your Italian — might also make it harder to throw in the towel.Learn more than one thing at once. We tend to zero in on one hobby or one skill. But dividing that time and energy into three or four areas will stretch your brain in all different directions. __5__ For example, maybe you started learning a new language in 2022, and this year you add singing lessons, and next year you try something else. You can add things gradually based on what you can handle.A.Turn to your friends and family.B.The following strategies will do the trick.C.Surround yourself with encouraging people.D.Telling friends about your new goal can help keep you motivated.E.But all this familiarity limits the parts of the brain we're using regularly.F.That doesn't mean you should start all the new challenges all at once, though.G.So feeling comfortable can reduce stress and make you happier and more productive.Ⅲ.语法填空[2022·潍坊市统一考试]There is a saying that goes, “All roads lead to Rome.〞Roads were essential for the 1.________ (grow) of the Roman Empire. These roads enabled the Romans to move armies 2.________ (efficient). At its peak, the Roman road system 3.________ (cover) 53,000 miles and contained about 372 links.

This contributed to the Roman military ruin.课时作业(二十二)Ⅰ.阅读理解A体裁:说明文题材:社会生活主题:中国和印度对“绿色地球〞的奉献【语篇解读】研究发现,由于中国的植树造林方案和中印两国的集约农业,地球与二十年前相比更加翠绿了。
课时作业22 The United KingdomⅠ.阅读理解(2015·湖北省黄石市示范三校元月联考)Fortythree years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance. I have forgotten the name of an old lady, who was a customer on the paper route in my hometown when I was a twelveyearold boy. Yet it stays in my memory, for she taught me a lesson of forgiveness that I shall never forget.On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the leaning roof of the old lady's house from a spot near her backyard. The object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles as they rolled to the roof's edge and shot out into the yard. I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. The stone, however, slipped from my hand and headed straight for a small window on the old lady's back porch. At the sound of fractured glass, we knew we were in trouble. We ran as fast as possible.I was too scared about getting caught to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn't been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably in her presence.I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and after three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost. I put the letter through the letter slot in her door. My soul felt redeemed and I could have the freedom of, once again, looking straight into the old lady's kind eyes. The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her. She gave me a bag of cookies. I thanked her and felt an envelope in it.When I opened the envelope, inside it were the seven dollars and a short note reading, “I'm proud of you.〞1.How did the writer get to know the old lady?A.They were neighbors.B.The writer often played near the lady's house.C.The lady was the writer's customer.D.They got to know each other by chance.2.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the text?A.The writer broke the window on purpose.B.The incident happened 43 years ago.C.The writer felt guilty a few days later.D.The old lady didn't take the writer's money.3.The underlined word “redeemed〞is closest in meaning to “________〞.A.excited B.relievedC.disappointed D.delighted4.What's the best title for this passage?A.An old ladyB.My first jobC.My childhoodD.An unforgettable incident答案与解析1.C 细节理解题。

课时提能练(二十二)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2019·广东七校联考)These days,I walk down the steps leading toward the south end of the All England Club in Wimbledon,and still look for the Crow's Nest,a small green observation tower with an outer ladder that I used to climb on for a wide view of the grounds,but it has since been knocked down.The Crow's Nest was a particularly useful point,because it allowed a tennis writer to keep track of the action on as many as 10 outside courts at a time.At the end of the days,reporters from different nations would share notes on what they had observed all over the grounds.Twentyseven years later,the press room has touch screens that allow us to watch live videos from any court,and even go back to watch key moments in key matches long after they have finished.You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat.But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia.More than at any other tennis tournament,there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting,the history and the traditions.If they change the price of the fish tacos(鱼肉卷饼) at the United States Open,it's not a story.If they change the price of the strawberries and cream,the signature treat at Wimbledon,it's time to email your editor using capital letters.The new retractable(可缩进的) roof was put in place in 2009.Until then,you always had to have a rainyday story in your notebook because there were no guarantees any matches would be played.Now tennis is a sure thing on Centre Court,which has made tennis reporters a bit less creative.But at least it guarantees us daily access to the most atmospheric place in the sport.So much has changed,but Centre Court remains true to its original spirit:more a theater than a stadium.Catching that feeling is part of covering Wimbledon,too.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

The children were surveyed between and .The researchers defined adequate physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week. Children who spent three or more hoursa day watching TV,playing computer games, or chatting with friends—aside from time in school or time spent doing homework—were classified as sedentary.The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions. A quarter of boys and nearly 30 percent of girls were sedentary and didn't get enough exercise with girls less active than boys in every country aside from Zambia.Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys, at 42 percent, while Zambia had the lowest, at 8 percent. Girls from India were the most active, with 37 percent meeting exercise recommendation, while girls from Egypt were the least active, with just 4 percent getting adequate exercise. Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary, with 13 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls classified as sedentary. The most sedentary nations were St. Lucia and the Cayman Islands, with 58 percent of boys and 64 percent of girls spending at least three hours a day in sedentary activities.People show deep concern for kids' lack of physical activity in various nations. Why do they have a low level of physical activity? Guthold speculated(推测)that urbanization(都市化) could be a factor as well as access to cars and TVs.16.If you are sedentary, you________.A.are a diligent student spending much time doing homeworkB.have at least an hour of exercise outdoors every dayC.like watching TV and playing computer gamesD.spend a lot of time sitting down and not moving17.Which statement is TRUE about the finding of the study, led by Regina Guthold?A.Most children around the world don't meet the exercise recommendation.B.Girls in every country are no more active than boys.C.Children in rich countries relatively get less physical activities.D.Only 4 percent of the girls from Egypt are not active in exercise.18.Which could be the best title of the passage?A.American children are addicted to TVs and computersB.Nearly one third of children globally are couch potatoesC.Effects of physical activities on healthD.Unimaginable standard of physical health19.What would the writer be most likely to discuss in detail in the following paragraphs?A.The suitable amount of physical activities for students.B.Some of the factors for the popularity of cars and TVs among the kids.C.The reasons behind the lack of physical activities.D.The ways to make the most of physical activities.BOur lives were supposed to be more flexible and familyfriendly thanks to the technology at our fingertips. But in this age of BlackBerrys, recession pressures, working at home after hours and on weekends, family time may not be working out the way we thought.Busy parents who expected more time with the kids are finding that more work hours at home don't necessarily translate into quality time with them.A new generation of parents need to discover the meaning of “quality time”,researchers say. “Personally, just given the life I lead, I think there is something to this idea of quality time—spending productive time with children vs. just being around,” says Peter Brandon, a professor at Carleton College. He says engaging or interacting with a child in activities such as reading or playing counts as quality time rather than “passive monitoring”, such as washing the dishes while the child is watching TV.“This_time_with_children_pays_off,” Brandon says. He notes that good parentchild relationships result in children being happier and more successful, including at school.As parents struggle to be more available to their kids, new research on work and family schedules to be presented Friday at the meeting in Dallas includes a study that shows parents' availability is on the decline because more parents are in the workforce. Although parents today may be spending more time on child care, they are less available overall.Working parents who spend less time with their children should try to make sure the time they do spend is communicating with them, vs. doing the dishes or spending more time on themselves, Brandon says “The tradeoff is not necessarily taking away time from your kid,” he says, “You're taking away time from other things.”20.The first paragraph mainly intends to tell us that ________.A.technology lets parents work at homeB.parents are satisfied with their workC.technology makes our lives much easierD.the family time is not always satisfying21.We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.A.some families are not experiencing quality timeB.it's enough for parents to stay with their childrenC.parents enjoy engaging in workathome activitiesD.working hours at home can transform into quality time22.According to Brandon, the quality time means ________.A.just being around with childrenB.work time is separate from family timeC.spending interactive time with childrenD.letting the children do whatever they want to do23.The underlined sentence “This time with children pays off” means________.A.the time with children is of little valueB.the time with children costs quite a lotC.the time with children leads to good resultD.the time with children has a bad effect on them24.What will the author most probably talk about in the next part of the passage?A.How to spend more time at home.B.How to do the dishes in a proper way.C.How to spend more time in working at home.D.How to take away time in a much proper way.Ⅲ.短文填词I'd like to tell you something that I experienced in the City Park. 25.________ the afternoon of last Sunday, my friend and I were taking a walk along a river in the City Park 26.________ suddenly we heard a boy 27.________ (喊) for help in the river.

Unit 2 The United Kingdom————[单元主题语境]———人与自然之主要国家地理概况(2020·高考全国卷Ⅲ)话题:英国家庭多代同居词数:323 难度:★★★With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation (孤独), more families are choosing to live together.The doorway to peace and quiet, for Nick Bright at least, leads straight to his motherinlaw: she lives on the ground floor, while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters.Four years ago they all moved into a threestorey Victorian house in Bristol —one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof.They share a front door and a washing machine, but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor.“We floated the idea to my mum of sharing a house,”says Kathryn Whitehead.Rita cuts in: “We spoke more with Nick because I think it's a big thing for Nick to live with his motherinlaw.”And what does Nick think? “From my standpoint, it all seems to work very well.Would I remend it? Yes, I think I would.”It's hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him, but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time.Official reports suggestthat the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2001 to 419,000 in 2013.Other varieties of multigenerational family are more mon.Some people live with their elderly parents; many more adult children are returning to the family home, if they ever left.It is said that about 20% of 2534yearolds live with their parents, pared with 16% in 1991.The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.Stories like that are more mon in parts of the world where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted.In India, particularly outside cities, young women are expected to move in with their husband's family when they get married.[语篇解读] 本文主要介绍了英国多代同居问题,越来越多的英国人选择和父母居住在一起。
高考英语一轮复习课时提能练22TheUnitedKingdom含解析新人教版课时提能练(二十二)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2019·广东七校联考)These days,I walk down the steps leading toward the south end of the All England Club in Wimbledon,and still look for the Crow's Nest,a small green observation tower with an outer ladder that I used to climb on for a wide view of the grounds,but it has since been knocked down.The Crow's Nest was a particularly useful point,because it allowed a tennis writer to keep track of the action on as many as 10 outside courts at a time.At the end of the days,reporters from different nations would share notes on what they had observed all over the grounds.Twentyseven years later,the press room has touch screens that allow us to watch live videos from any court,and even go back to watch key moments in key matches long after they have finished.You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat.But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia.More than at any other tennis tournament,there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting,the history and the traditions.If they change the price of the fish tacos(鱼肉卷饼) at the United States Open,it's not a story.If they change the price of the strawberries and cream,the signature treat at Wimbledon,it's time to email your editor using capital letters.The new retractable(可缩进的) roof was put in place in 2009.Until then,you always had to have a rainyday story in your notebook because there were no guarantees any matches would be played.Now tennis is a sure thing on Centre Court,which has made tennis reporters a bit less creative.But at least it guarantees us daily access to the most atmospheric place in the sport.So much has changed,but Centre Court remains true to its original spirit:more a theater than a stadium.Catching that feeling is part of covering Wimbledon,too.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。
