第一部分必修三Module 6Ⅰ.阅读理解(2019·福建,A)Food festivals around the worldStilton Cheese RollingMay Day is a traditional day for celebrations,but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans.Teams of four,dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes,roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course.On the way,they must not kick or throw their cheese,or go into their competitors' lane(赛道).Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly,but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones).All the competitors are served with beer or port wine,the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on EarthEvery year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque,New Mexico.They come from as far away as Australia,the Caribbean and China,but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy(辛辣),but hot enough to make your mouth burn,your head spin and your eyes water.Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March.You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show.But one thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue,this festival isn't for you!La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food FightOn the last Wednesday of every August,the Spanish town of Bunol hosts La Tomatina—the world's largest food fight.A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events.The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.The battle lasts little more than half an hour,in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves,runs,or fights back.Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash!语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,分别讲述了英国、新墨西哥以及西班牙的几个关于食物的传统节日。
课时作业 18Ⅰ.阅读理解(衡水高三年级调研)At your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and a sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch (荷兰语) and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds—nearly twice as long as in American meetings.In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don't speak at all. It's already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you're repairing that failure by using words.In the US, it may start from the history of colonial(殖民地的) America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, it's hard to develop common understanding unless you talk and there's understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally devoted to developing a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.In contrast, when there's more homogeneity,_perhaps it's easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it's easier to sit in silence than with people you're less well acquainted with.本文是一篇议论文。
Module 6Old and New维A 阅读理解(2012·广东,C)I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known.I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help.After all, I was a teenage girl,and I couldn't bear people to look at me and think I was not like them.I must have been a terrible danger on the ing across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes.Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something.“I'm awfully sorry,”I said and stepped forward only to run into it again.When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost.This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me.So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off.No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound.Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away.In the end,I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop;it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus.Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did.But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by.I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one.Then I gave up.I decided to walk on to the next stop.1.The girl refused to ask for help because she thought________.A.she might be recognizedB.asking for help looked sillyC.she was normal and independentD.being found blind was embarrassing2.After the girl got off the bus that evening, she________.A.began to runB.hit a person as usualC.hit a lamppost by accidentD.was caught by something3.At the request stop that evening, the girl________.A.stopped a big lorryB.stopped the wrong busC.made no attempt to stop the busD.was not noticed by other people4.What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?A.Other vehicles also stopped there.B.It was unreliable for making judgments.C.More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D.It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.5.Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping________.A.to find people thereB.to find more buses thereC.to find the bus by herself thereD.to find people more helpful there【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。
【志鸿优化设计】2016届高考英语一轮复习 Module6 Old and New考点规范练18(含解析)外研版必修3Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco,California is one of the world’s most beautiful bridges.It is also one of the most visited places in the world.Vehicles(车辆)cross the bridge an average of 41 million times each year.More than 1,800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since it opened more than 70 years ago.The bridge was painted“International Orange”because that color went well withthe natural surroundings.The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area.But the Golden Gate Bridge was not named for its orange color.It was named for the body of water that it crosses,the Golden Gate Strait.The Golden Gate Strait is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean.The Golden Gate Bridge links the city of San Francisco with MarinCounty,California.Planning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area around San Francisco was growing.People living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries(渡船).Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer for the project.Work began in 1934.MrStrauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history of bridgebuilding.These included the first use of “hard hats”to protect the w orkers’ heads and special glasses to protect their eyes.A special safety net was suspended(挂)under the bridge.This net saved the livesof 19 men during the construction.However,11 other workers were killed when they fell from the bridge through the net.Still,this was a new safety record for the time.The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937.It extends 1,280 meters across thewater.The total length is 2,737 meters.It was the largest suspension bridge(吊桥)inthe world until 1964.That is when the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in New York City.Today,the Golden Gate Bridge is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world.1.The Golden Gate Bridge was named after .A.the local climateB.the color of a paintC.the strait it crossesD.its natural surroundings2.How did people cross the Golden Gate Strait before the bridge was built?A.By plane.B.By boat.C.By road.D.By train.3.The purpose of suspending a special safety net is to .A.protect the environmentB.make construction easierC.prevent workers from fallingD.save building materials from falling4.What do we know about Joseph Strauss?A.He attached importance to the workers’ safety.B.His safety measures were not of practical value.C.He built the first suspension bridge in the world.D.He demanded strong measures to ensure the safety of the bridge.BOfficials say the islands of Tokelau in the South Pacific Ocean have become the world’s first territory totally powered by the sun.The move is expected to save money and ease the environmental burden of depending on imported fossil fuels.New Zealand’s foreign affairs minister released a statement about the Tokelau Renewable Energy Project.Murray McCully said Tokelau’s three main islands now have enough solar capacity to meet all of their electricity needs.The three islands of Tokelau are Atafu,Nukunonu and Fakaofo.The group of islands is about halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii and is administered by NewZealand.Together they have about 1,500 citizens.Each island received its own solar power transmission network.New Zealandofficials estimated the cost of the project to build the three solar transmission networks at around seven million dollars.The last of them was completed earlier this month.It is estimated that oil imports make up to thirty percent of national income in some parts of the Pacific.The move to solar power could save Tokelau about onemillion dollars a year.One project director said Tokelau would now be able to spend more on social programs to help its citizens.Other South Pacific islands are attempting similar projects.The island nations of Samoa and Tuvalu are aiming to get all of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020.The Cook Islands plans to start moving to solar panels and wind turbines(涡轮).And most houses in the South Pacific groups of islands will begin to use solar water heaters.East Timor’s government has promised that no households in thecapital,Dili,would be using firewood for cooking by 2015.It also says fifty percent of the country’s electricity will c ome from renewable sources by the end of the decade.New Zealand Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully said the country would hold a Pacific energy summit in March next year.He said the meeting would build on the success of clean and affordable energy solutions for Tokelau,Tonga,and the Cook Islands.5.We can infer that Tokelau .A.is the first place in the world to use sun energyB.has been wholly depending on imported fossil fuelsC.has the best condition to produce electricity from solar energyD.is the first place worldwide to get electricity totally from solar energy6.From the passage we can know that .A.the three islands lie close to New ZealandB.each island has a population of about 1,500C.solar power transmission networks on the three islands are separatedD.each island has spent around seven million dollars7.Who will benefit most from the Renewable Energy Project?A.New Zealand officials.B.New Zealand government.C.The project directors.D.Tokelau’s people.8.What’s the main idea of P aragraph 6?A.Some other South Pacific islands are trying to use green energy.B.The island nation of Samoa is trying to develop green energy.C.The Cook Islands starts moving to solar panels and wind turbines.D.Most houses in the South Pacific groups of islands will use solar water heaters. Ⅱ.七选五Online Chat Room EtiquetteThe Internet has opened up a whole new world for us to meet online and talk about our hobbies,thoughts,and beliefs.However,there are some rules to observe while we are addressing others online.First of all,we should select a proper nickname to use in the chat room.Avoid using any rude names,which will cause others in the room to ignore you. 1 Now that you have selected your name and are ready to chat,there are some proper greetings you should know in order to start a conversation. 2 If this fails to catch anyone’s attention,you should attempt to address a particular member with a question.The person you are addressing will usually respond,thus starting yourchat.While chatting,always make sure you do not type in capital letters.Although it may attract attention,it is hard to read.Many people in chat rooms tend to offend you if you let your guard down.Infact,someone enter the chat room just to annoy others in this way.While your instinct is to fight back in the same manner,try to avoid doing so. 3 Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.At the same time,if you find you are wrong,be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those who you have offended immediately.4 If you want to know more about the person you are chatting with,you should use the same judgment as you would in a face-to-face conversation.Unless you know the person very well,and you are both comfortable with sharing personalinformation,you’d better not ask such questions.5 By observing these basic rules,everyone can have a good experience of online chats.A.Instead,use a name that can best describe yourself to others.B.It is necessary to do some research before chatting online.C.The best way is to say“Hi,everyone!”or“Good morning!”.D.You should not reveal your personal information to strangers.E.Never ask personal questions such as their age,sex,and marital status.F.You should either ignore the person,or use your chat software to block their messages.G.Finally,remember to treat others online in the same way you would want to be treated.Ⅲ.语法填空Sam:Hello,I’d like some information 1. trips to Katmandu.Maria:Well,how can I help you?Sam:I hear there’s a special kind of bus with 2.(sleep) rooms.Maria:Yes,that’s true.Sam:How many people travel on the bus?Maria:ually there are eight travelers,two drivers,and a girl 3. acts as your tour guide.Sam:So,we sleep comfortably in the bus.Maria:Yes.It 4.

课时提能练(十八)(对应学生用书第325页)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·江西名校检测)Parents usually teach their children how to cross the street safely,by looking both ways for cars.But do they also teach them to put away their cell phones?The city of Honolulu,Hawaii wants everyone to learn that lesson.Texting while crossing the street will soon be banned in the city.Beginning on October 24,you could be fined from $15 to $99 if you step onto a Honolulu street while looking at your phone.Honolulu is the first major US city to ban what is called“distracted walking”.It recently passed a law in a seven-to-two vote.The law says:“No pedestrian shall cross a street or highway while viewing a mobile electronic device(装置).”In other words,do not look at a screen when you cross the street or you could be fined.The law's creators hope it will lower the number of people hit and killed by cars in the city.Mayor Kirk Caldwell told Reuters news agency,“We hold the unfortunate distinction of being a major city with more pedestrians being hit in crosswalks,particularly our seniors,than that of almost any other cities in the country.”The law includes all electronic devices with screens:cell phones,tablets,gaming devices,digital cameras and laptop computers.The law does permit an exception.Pedestrians may use such devices in the street to call emergency services and rescue workers,such as firefighters and police officers.Pedestrian deaths have been increasing as the use of cell phones rises.The Governors Highway Safety Association,or GHSA,says pedestrian deaths in the United States increased by 25 percent between 2010 and 2015.That trend continued in 2016 with the number of pedestrian deaths rising to almost 6,000,11% higher than that in 2015.Other US cities may follow Honolulu.The State of Washington was the first to outlaw distracted driving back in 2007.Now,46 other states as well as D.C.,Puerto Rico,Guam and the US Virgin Islands,also have laws against texting while driving.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了美国夏威夷的城市Honolulu 通过立法禁止人们过马路时看电子设备的相关信息。

The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together,like Christmas in the West. But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival, however, have weakened in practice.Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival. People thought the sputtering (爆裂) sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken security, noise and pollution factors into consideration.“In recent years, some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at the Spring Festival, surrendering to (屈从于) public demand. Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion,” said Zhou Xing, a folklore researcher.“As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods, the New Year holiday is just like any other. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important thing. However, many families would like to eat out to save time and energy,” said Li Shunzhi, a resident of Harbin, Heilongjiang.“I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside. My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday, cleaning the house, buying holiday goods and decorating the house with paper cuttings. On New Year's Eve, the whole family stays up to see the New Year in, and in the days to follow, a series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held. Without the ancient traditions, the holiday is nothing to us,” said Zhang Hui, from Hebei.语篇解读:本文主要介绍了中国春节的传统习俗在逐渐消失的现象以及人们的不同观点。

Now let me tell you something.Before a meal, guests and seniors are seated first. Other people should not begin eating until the guests and the seniors start. Unlike Westerners, the Chinese usually put many dishes on the table and everybody shares them together. While eating Chinese hosts usually take good care of their guests and often use serving chopsticks or spoons to add food to guests' plates. After the meal, guests should express their thanks to hosts and their satisfaction with the delicious meal.

The sand involved in the sandstorm can reach heights of about 3.05m-15.24m.It is very dangerous to experience a sandstorm. Sandcan get into the nose, eyes, mouth and lungs. If you happento be caught in a sandstorm, you must protect yourself bywearing masks, scarves and so on.If you're driving when such a storm approaches, it's advised that you pull off the road, since it's difficult to continue driving. This is also important since vehicles can fail in during sandstorms and you could end up stuck on the road.Most sandstorms occur in spring, and during the daytime. Many of the areas around the Persian Gulf and the Sahara Desert are associated with the most serious storms. Since it's a natural phenomenon, it can't be entirely controlled. In areas that are natural desert regions, you can't always prevent a sandstorm. There's much evidence that the planet Mars has dust storms, and clearly, no human intervention (介入) is responsible for such.
