课后阅读作业Unit 2 Period 4Ⅰ. 阅读理解APeople used to think that wetlands were wasted land. Developers would drain them with ditches(水沟), fill them in with tons of soil, and build houses, schools, and parking areas on them. Then scientists began to realize the important role wetlands play in the environment.Wetlands act like giant sponges(海绵)during storms. They soak up extra storm water and afterward release it slowly back into the water cycle. This helps prevent flooding. Towns where people have drained wetlands have found that in a big storm, their streets and homes are often flooded because there are no wetlands to soak up the excess water.Wetlands also act as giant filters where pollutants are absorbed and dissolved over time. Though wetlands can become polluted from dumping, wastewater, and fertilizer runoff from farm fields, they are able to process some pollutants over time because of all the microorganisms and plants living there.Wetlands are especially important for providing homes and breeding grounds to millions of birds, fish, and amphibians worldwide. Many wetlands have become national wildlife refuges(避难所), where you can go to take pictures and look at birds and animals.The Everglades are a huge wetland that once covered more than four million acres of southern Florida. Sometimes called the“river of grass”, the Everglades are ashallow sheet of water that slowly flowed across a grassy plain. In the late 1800s people began draining parts of the Everglades for development. Roads were built and towns sprang up. The Everglades shrank to half its original size. Cities like Miami grew up where once there was a thriving wetland. Sewage and waste from the cities were pumped into the remaining wetlands. Over time scientists began to see the importance of the Everglades. Even with its smaller size, the Everglades filtered the pollutants coming from the cities, absorbing the worst of it like a sewage treatment plant. During storms the Everglades protected the cities from storm surge flooding. They also are just a great place to visit and see wildlife.【语篇概述】本文讲述了湿地的重要性。

高中英语人教版必修4阅读强化训练(十六)（含答案解析）Ⅰ阅读理解Ross Griffiths woke up one morning aged 16 months unable to speak. This five­year­old boy was only two weeks ago diagnosed(诊断) with a condition so unusual that it hasn’t been named and is instead known as 15q11.2.Ross Griffiths has struggled to get back his communication skills, but has always been too shy to use his sign language away from home and school. But after seeing a video of Middlesbrough’s Cleveland Centre Father Christmas signing with three­year­old Mali Williams, Ross told his mum that he wanted to sign with Father Christmas, too.Ross and his family went to see Father Christmas yesterday, along with Mali, who was invited back for a second visit. Father Christmas set up the special second meeting with Mali where he gave her a lovely doll.As crowds of children and parents awaited the arrival of the big man at the shopping centre，Father Christmas took some time out before his duties to meet again with Mali and with Ross before going on to see all the other children.Ross’s mum Becky Lane hoped that a visit to the special Father Christmas would help Ross get over his shyness. The Father Christmas everyone believes in even learned Makaton specially for his meeting with Ross, as this is the communication method the young boy uses.“He was too frightened to use his sign language outside the house, but when he saw the video of the girl signing with Father Christmas, it showed him he didn’t have to be shy. He did really well. And he got a PacMan game as a gift. Now he’s not a shy boy any more，”Becky said.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

the finest markets in the world.Here are four of them.EdinburghFarmers’MarketTraders in Edinburgh have long sold their goods in the shadow of the city’s spectacular castle.It takes place on Castle Terrace every Saturday and attracts a huge crowd with its locally sourced goods.The market is now in its 15th year and champions the very best in Scottish produce.BillingsgateFishMarketThis hub in the heart of the East End of London is the biggest inland market in Britain.Dating back to the 16thcentury,Billingsgate is now served by almost every UK port,with fish transported through the night to arrive for trading,which starts at 4 a.m.It is famed for shifting 25,000 tons of fish each year.StGeorge’sMarketFollow your nose along May Street in Belfast and the smells of delicious home-made food from across the globe will land you in St George’s Market,once voted the best in the pleted in 1896 and featuring tasty food,the trading place is also one of Belfast’s oldest attractions,thanks to its wide range of goods and live music performances.FordAirfieldMarketLooking for an old-style prosthetic leg,a ventriloquist’s dummy,or even a suit of armour?The chances are you’ll find what you’re after —and plenty of other random stuff — at one of the hundreds of stalls here in West Sussex.Huge car boot sales(旧货市场) are held at weekends all year round,rain or shine.The market has been running for 25 years and is a well-known treasure trove for antique experts looking for a bargain.1.Which market has the longest history?A.Edinburgh Farmers’ Market.B.Billingsgate Fish Market.C.St George’s

closes on rainy days.C.It is famous for its cars.D.It features car boot sales.B(蓉城名校联盟第一次联考)A trip to the library was like a great journey to a different country.To get there,we had to walk a mile.But our weekly journeys to the library were a piece of perfection.I had around myself at one time all the people I loved best — my father,mother,brothers and sister — and all the things I loved best — quiet,space and books.I read a lot of books about science:not the spaceships my brothers preferred,but the birds and the bees,literally.I brought home a book of birds and searched the trees for anything other than robins(知更鸟).I went through a phase of loving books with practical science experiments and used up a whole bottle of white vinegar by pouring it on the sides of our apartment building to prove that it was constructed of limestone(石灰岩).One Saturday,as I wandered through the young adult section,I saw a title:LittleWomen,by Louisa May Alcott.I had learned from experience that titles weren’t everything.A book that soundedgreat on the shelf could be dull once you got it home.So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first few paragraphs.I read and read and read LittleWomen until it was time to walk home,and,except for a few essential interruptions like sleeping and eating,I did not put it down until the end.Even the freedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in the wake of Alcott’s story.It was about girls,for one thing,girls who could almost be like me,especially Jo.I had found someone who thought and felt the way I did.4.What can we say

seem duller when read in libraries than at home.7.How would the author describe LittleWomen?A.It helped her to discover her true character.B.It made her forget about food and sleep.C.It inspired confidence in her.D.It kept her absorbed.C(安徽名校联盟第二次质量检测)Sourdough starters,dress shirts with pajama bottoms,Zoom cocktails and pandemic trends come and go.But there’s one trend that looks like it’s here to stay — at least for another year—gardening.Multiple seed sellers are reporting an increased demand for seed orders.As homebound green thumbs turned to horticulture(园艺) once more,Missouri-based Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company has had to shut down its website three times due to overwhelming demand.The company says it is selling siore seeds compared to its average busy st year,the company told TheWashingtonPost,it saw the largest volume of orders it had seen just as shutdowns began.“Even with machines,we can’t pack them fast enough,” Kathy McFarland,who handles public relations for Baker Creek,told CivilEats.Just like a slate of home-friendly hobbies like baking and knitting,gardening has seen an increase in popularity over the last year.A quarter of respondents started gardening because of the pandemic.The wave of new gardeners has led to retail sales’ growth in the gardening industry,while other types of consumer goods,like clothing and home furniture,saw declines during thepandemic.Lowe’s and Home Depot,the country’s largest homeimprovement retailers that sell plants and gardening supplies,both saw sales’ gains last year.According to a survey from Axiom Marketing,half of the respondents who garden said they did it as a reason to get outside and relieve stress.Some started gardening to have security in their own food supply,especially at the beginning of the pandemic when grocery store shelves were empty.“There are certainly very stabilizing forces in gardening that can ground us when we are feeling shaky,uncertain andterrified.It’s these predictable outcomes and predictable rhythms of the garden that are very comforting right now,” Joel S.Flagler,a professor of Plant Biology at Rutgers,the State University of New Jersey,told AGWEEK.While food stock in grocery stores has remained stable,a majority of people in the Axiom survey said they planned to garden the same amount,or even more.8.The underlined word “thumbs” in paragraph 2 probablymeans .A.glovesB.fingersC.peopleD.gardeners9.According to Joel S.Flagler,people can enjoy by gardening.A.rhythms of musicB.prediction of gardening productionC.space of gardeningD.emotional relief10.According to the passage,why does the author refer to baking and knitting?A.To show people’s growing interest in gardening.B.To talk about housework.C.To mention cooking styles.D.To talk about seeds.11.The market of seed selling shall be .A.on declineB.with stabilityC.by chanceD.in blossomD(原创预测题)For the past 60 years,the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) has protected animals,restored lost habitats and advocated for policy changes that benefit wildlife.Now,the conservation organization is trying a new approach.This year,AWF launched the inaugural Benjamin Mkapa African Wildlife Photography Awards.The contest aims to reach a different audience.While photography competitions are nothing new,the AWF hopes that the exhibition of winning entries will encourage African people to take a more active role in conservation.Its CEO Kaddu Sebunya said,“Africans need to take the responsibility for the conservation of their heritage.”Photographers of all ages and backgrounds,professional and amateur,were invited to submit to the competition.A judging panel,comprised of photographers,conservationists,activists and safari guides,selected photos from 12 categories including “Artin Nature”“Coexistence and Conflict” and “Conservation Heroes”.The “Conservation Heroes” category had special appeal for Kenyan conservation photographer Anthony Ochieng Onyango.“I realized there was a communication gap because most of what was being communicated was data in scientific pu blications,” said Onyango,adding that images are a simple way for people to connect to compleany entries in the AWF competition,there’s only one 19-year-old Cathan Moore from South Africa among the category winners.There’s a lack of opportunity for young a spiring photographers on the continent.AWF is seeking grants and partnerships to enable more African people to participate neake nature photography competitions more accessible to those unable to pay or buy eera equipment,allowing people to use whatever camera they have and photograph wildlife in urban environments.Sebunya hopes that the competition can open up a dialogue about conservation—and why it’s so important for Africa’s future.Many people in Africa look at conservation as a thing done by and forforeigners,said Sebunya.While he praised the work of international NGOs,he emphasized that it’s vital that African voices are heard and for local people to lead conservation efforts.12.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.African people take photographs in order to protect wildlife.B.AWF calls for people’s active involvement in wildlife conservation.C.AWF holds photography competition for the conservation of wildlife.D.A communication gap exists between ordinary people and wildlife conservation.13.Which of the following statements about the photography competition is TRUE?A.This year’s winners include quite a number of teenage photographers.B.The winners’ works will be on display to promote wildlife conservation.C.The judging panel includes both professional and amateur photographers.D.People who are not skilled in photography can’t take part in the competition.14.According to Anthony Ochieng Onyango,what caused the communication gap?A.People’s lack of desire to connect to the issue.B.The lack of scientific publications on the issue.C.People’s lack of professional camera equipment.D.The lack of simple and direct ways to present the issue.15.What’s Sebunya’s attitude toward the competition?A.Appreciative.B.Cautious.C.Skeptical.D.Neutral.Ⅱ.七选五(广东惠州调研)I’ve thought long and hard about individual books that have changed my life. 1 .But considering books in the broadersense,that’s a different matter;books,by themselves,have most definitely changed my life.I still have books from my childhood,treasured and kept safe in a wooden box.I suppose you could say I had favorite authors from a very young age:Richard Scarry was the first.I loved “The Supermarket Mystery” most,which gave me great pleasure.Even then I knew books mattered and as soon as I could write my name correctly,I would claim ownership(所有权) of books. 2 .The ney journey with books probably came when I discovered Enid Blyton. 3 .I read every single one of the “Famous Five”“Secret Seven” and “Adventurous Four” books,but it was her boarding school books that thrilled me as a young girl and sparked a love of escapist fiction.That love of escapist fiction has never left me.I never read non-fiction,and my pattern of finding an author I love and then reading every book he or she wrote continues,through Agatha Christie in my teens,to Lee Child as an adult. 4 .When real lifegets too much,what better place to seek shelter than the pages ofa detective book that takes you away to another place?5 .I studied for a degree in English Literature,and three years spent analyzing texts which I would otherwise not have chosen to read,greatly took the shine off reading.It took me a long time to find my way back to books.J.K.Rowling,I have to say,was a godsend in that respect.A.That’s why I love the booksB.My spelling has improved since thenC.Her books turned me into a devoted readerD.My favorite type is definitely detective fictionE.The honest answer is that there really aren’t anyF.My passion for reading has benefited me a lot in a long runG.But my relationship with books hasn’t always been an easy one必修4 Unit2 阅读理解题组——练速度Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。
