It is often reported that we are suffering from more and more natural disasters because of the damaged environment.If we human beings are clever enough, we shouldtake measures to protect the environment right now. If we don't, the earth will perhaps come to an end. We should pass laws to forbid cutting down trees. Those who pollute rivers and seas should be punished. Wild animals should be well protected. Everyone should know the importance of protecting environment.As is known to all, if we act soon enough, we can still have a bright future. If we don't, one thing is certain—we will be punished by nature.【名师点拨】文章运用了多样化的短语及句式结构。
Unit 5 The power of natureⅠ.阅读理解(2018广东惠州高三一调,D)Following the crowd may not always be in a person's best interest. But new research suggests that teens who get along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health. That's true for both teens and adults. The finding inspired Joseph Allen, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, and his team to study whether experiences during teen years can influence adult health.So they followed 171 teens, starting when the kids were just 13.They interviewed each one every year in a period of five years, and also spoke to these teens' closest friends, who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships. The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25, 26 and 27.This time, the questions surveyed each person's overall health. When the researchers analyzed the data, they found a strong connection between a teen's friendship and his/her future health. Teens who had close friends grew up to be healthier adults. Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to close friends also influenced their later health. Those who held back their feelings were more likely to be sick as adults. The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health. Weight, family income and drug use were all examined. So were mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. And in these people,such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did.“Following the crowd may have benefits,” says Allen,“but there are also drawbacks.”Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work. And peer pressure may lead some teens to engage in risky behavior, such as smoking,drinking and taking drugs.Dealing with it isa challenge, Allen acknowledges. “Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldn't lose heart for not finding this easily,”he adds.“Parents need to understand the pressures teens face.”1.Where can you probably read this passage?A.In science fiction.B.In a health column.C.In a fashion magazine.D.In an entertainment newspaper.2.We can learn from Allen's study that .A.many other factors have a greater influence on adult health than teen friendshipsB.mental health issues have nothing to do with adult healthC.the 171 teens were interviewed each year from 13 to 27 years of ageD.the teens who can't express themselves may grow up to be unhealthier3.According to what Allen said, we can know that .A.in order to do better at school,teens should not follow the crowdB.though it's challenging for teens to deal with peer pressure, they should not give upC.teens will engage in smoking, drinking and taking drugs when facing peer pressureD.parents should understand their teens and stop them facing peer pressure4.What can be inferred from the passage?A.There is nothing bad for teens to follow the crowd.B.Close friendships are the most important for people's health.C.Teen friendships may turn out healthier adults.D.Adult health is only influenced by teen friendships.Ⅱ.语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Space World theme park in the southwestern Japanese city of Kitakyushu has had to close their winter attraction after it froze around 5,000 fish into an ice rink(溜冰场).The park,which is described as a“theme park all about space”,launched their“Frozen Port”exhibition in an attempt to educate people about marine life as they skated over it.The Aquarium of Ice attracted people to visit by promising a worldfirst(possibly for a reason)experience of“skating across the sea”while looking down on fish,crabs,and a whale shark.But it seems they_got_a_little_out_of_their_depth.Despite reported popularity since it's opening on 12 November,2016,the park received surprising criticism on social media.It could be put down in part to the caption(说明文字)they used when sharing some pictures:“I am d...d...drowning,s...s...suffocating.”In response,one commenter said the park was“disrespectful of life”,while another said it was displaying a“surprising lack of morality”.Still others urged the company to go out of business.Asked if the theme park thought the“drowning”caption had any issues,Manager Toshimi Takeda replied,“Another employee wrote it,hoping people would find it funny.But I do feel that not enough caution was taken.I apologize.”According to management,the fish were already dead when they bought them,sourced from markets and were chosen because they were unable to be sold.Space World have decided to close the event and are considering holdingan“appropriate religious service”once they have melted the rink—which could take over a week.Manager Toshimi Takeda said they have proposed to“hold a memorial service for the fish who worked hard for us”and then reuse them as fertilizer.1.What's the purpose of “Frozen Port” exhibition?A.To encourage people to skate.B.To educate people about sea life.C.To make skating more enjoyable.D.To look after sea animals.2.What does the underlined sentence probably mean?A.The water is not deep enough for the fish.B.The exhibition is well received on social media.C.People's response is out of their expectation.D.The program is not the first one in the world.3.How did Toshimi Takeda feel about the “drowning” caption?A.He felt sorry for the result.B.He took it as a humor.C.He blamed himself for carelessness.D.He was cautious about it.4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.The fish will be set free.B.The theme park will be closed.C.The fish should have been used as fertilizer.D.The fish will be honored in a proper way.【解题导语】日本一家溜冰场因将大约5,000条鱼冻在冰面下而受到公众批评,并因此关闭。
试题习题、尽在百度选修6 Unit 5 The power of nature大自然的力量记忆·晨读 A V olcano EruptionAs the best candidate, I was appointed to collect and evaluate information for a database about diverse natural disasters,such as hurricanes, typhoons or thunderstorms. Sometimes I did this by giving out questionnaires to those who wentthrough them. But sometimes I had to go through actual disasters myself. The Musaki V olcano was one of them.At that time, I lived in a bungalow alongside the volcano with a novelist, who came for the appreciation of its eruption.One day, when I was drawing diagrams on the balcony and he was bathing inside, the volcano erupted unexpectedly. Theash and lava fountains shooting highly in the sky varied from 50 to 100 meters in height. It was absolutely fantastic! Ieven noticed a rainbow appear in the fog caused by a heat wave.But, glancing through our surroundings, I foresaw the potential danger and found no guarantee of our safety. Theuncomfortable gas almost made us unconscious. Sweats of anxiety began to drop. Managing to stop panicking andtrembling, we quickly put on our protective suits, helmets and boots and eventually made our way to a safe place. Howlucky we were even though my precious equipment and documents were all burnt to the ground!火山爆发作为最好的候选人,我被委派为一个数据库收集和评估各种自然灾害的信息,例如飓风、台风或雷暴等.有时我通过向经历过这些灾害的人分发调查问卷来收集信息,有时却得亲自经历实际的灾害.Musaki火山就是其中之一.那时,我和一名来欣赏火山爆发的小说家同住在火山边上的一座平房里.有一天,当我正在阳台上画图表而他在屋里洗澡时,火山突然爆发了,喷射到天空中的火山灰和岩浆喷泉从50米到100米不等,这一情景绝对地奇异,我甚至还注意到一条彩虹出现在热浪造成的雾里.然而,我向四周看了一下,马上预见到了潜在的危险,也发现了我们的安全毫无保障.令人不舒服的气体几乎使我们失去知觉,忧虑的汗水开始流淌下来.我们努力使自己不要惊慌和颤抖,迅速穿上保护套装、头盔和靴子,最后成功前往安全的地方.尽管我珍贵的设备和文件都烧得精光,但是我们真的非常幸运.I.单词盘点飓风;风暴图解;图表;示意图5.___________(n.) 1.___________(n.)问卷;调查表火山 6.___________(n.) 2.___________(n.)问题→__________(n.) 指火山)爆发;突然发生3.___________(vi.)

You’re in your office when you learn there’s someone with a gun wandering outside. You can hear gunshots and screams. What do you do?That’s the challenge for users of a new virtual (虚拟)reality program called SurviVR, designed to train employees how to deal with an active shooter situation in the workplace. The program works with HTC Vive, the virtual reality headset released earlier this year.An active shooter situation is when an armed person or people actively shoot in a small, populated area with the intention to kill. There were 20 such situations in the United States last year and 20 the year before, according to FBI statistics, resulting in a total of 231 deaths. This year saw the deadliest active shooter situation in US history, with 49 people killed in a nightclub in Orlando.In the training situation, users have four choices. They can lock themselves in the office. They can hide, perhaps in the office closet. They can run for an exit. Or they can use something in the office—a computer or a cup a pair of scissors-as a weapon to fight the shooter. This is an improvement on standard active shooter training. Gallo says, which typically teachers people to lock themselves in place and hide. The "lock down" method is often ineffective, he says, and has resulted in many deaths in recent years.In the training’s basic level, no one gets killed. But as the trainings become more advanced, players who make a wrong choice be shot. There’s no blood; the screen simply turns black slowly.If this sounds terrifying, that’s the point, says Gallo. There are plenty of training programs to teach employees how to deal with workplace violence, sometimes involving role play with toy guns. But these trainings are basically games. Gallo says, with employees relaxed and even enjoying themselves. To teach people what they really need to know for an active shooter situation, they need to be scared."SurviVR will take the fear and turn it into confidence." Gallo says.1. What’s the author’s pur pose of describing a dangerous scene in Para. 1?A. To attract the readers’ attention on the new virtual reality program.B. To show the challenge that the readers are required to face.C. To warn the readers of the possible dangers in the working place.D. To inform the readers of the correct response in such a situation2. What is the suggested response in the standard active shooter training?A. Fighting the shooterB. Running for the exitC. Using a computer as a weaponD. Locking down3. What does Gallo think of the training programs involving role play with toy guns?A. SearingB. ViolentC. IneffectiveD. Helpful4. What would be the best title?A. A New Virtual Reality Program on Active Shooter TrainingB. What Should You Do When Meeting Gunshots in the Workplace?C. How to Deal with an Active Shooter Situation?D. Employees Need to Be Scared of the Workplace Violence.【语篇解读】文章介绍一种新的主动射击训练虚拟现实程序,教人们遇到办公室暴力犯罪的时候如何应对。

2019高考英语一轮复习构想 Unit 5 The power of nature课时作业新人教版选修6Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·湖南长沙高三模拟试卷(一))Evidence of violent storms that destroyed a lost town known as Britain's Atlantis has been uncovered. The finds were uncovered off the coast of Dunwich, Suffolk—a small village which in the 11th century was one of the largest towns in England.The town was hit by a series of storms in the 13th and 14th centuries and is now largely below the sea.Researchers said sediment (沉积物) gathered from the cliffs independently proved the historical record.“They were like the south coast storms of 2013, at least once a year for decades,” Professor David Sear, of the University of Southampton, said.The threeyear research on Dunwich has been funded by Touching the Tide, a £900,000 Heritage Lottery Fund plan to explore the changing Suffolk Coast.A diver used ultrasound (超声波) to “illuminate” findings on the seabed, and the marshes (沼泽) and eroding cliffs were surveyed.“It offers a marvelous history of climate change and coastal erosion,” said Prof. Sear with regard to the findings.In the 11th century, Dunwich was the 10th largest town in England, but now has about 120 residents.Two great storms in 1286 and 1326 resulted in the loss of its harbour and started its decline. Prof. Sear said analysis showed how people gave up on Dunwich after 1338, when another great storm choked up the port for good, and food production declined. “Sediment gathered from the cliffs,” he said, “independently confirmed the sequences of storms recorded in the historical record.”The underwater research has been carried out using acoustic (声音的) imaging technology, and has unearthed a series of buildings. We found the ruins of about four churches and we've also found ruins of what we think was a toll house. We've also found shipwrecks (沉船), which no one's known before.A dig in 2015 discovered evidence of Dunwich's prehistoric origins, as well as evidence that it was a prosperous Saxon port, prior to its rapid growth following the Norman invasion.Bill Jenman, from Touching the Tide, said:“We found loads of pottery, a lot more than we've found before, sort of High Medieval—the peak of the wealth of Dunwich. We know it was a fairly major town in the AngloSaxon period.”【解题导语】本文讲述了研究人员发现了Dunwich被猛烈的暴风雨摧毁的新证据。

BAlong with its neighbors, Sweden features near the top of most sexequality rankings. The World Economic Forum rates it as having one of the narrowest sex gaps in the world. Sweden is not only a good place for a woman, but it appears to be one for new dads. Close to ninety percent of Swedish fathers take paternity leave(陪产假). Last year some 340, 000 dads took a total of 12 million days' leave, that is, approximately seven weeks each. Women take even more leave days to spend time with their children, but the gap is shrinking. Why do Swedish dads take so much time off work to raise their children?Forty years ago Sweden became the first country in the world to introduce a paid parentalleave allowance. Benefits consisted of ninety percent of wages for 180 days per child, and parents were free to share the days between them in whatever way they pleased. But the policy was hardly a hit with dads: in the policy's first year men took only 0.5% of all paid parental leave.Today they take a quarter of it. One reason is that the policy has become more generous, with the number of paid leave days for the first child increasing from 180 to 480. In 1995 the first socalled “daddy month” was introduced. Under this reform, families in which each parent took at least one month of leave received an additional month to add to their total allowance. The policy was expanded in 2002 so that if the mother and father each took at least two months' leave, the family would get two extra months. Some politicians now want to go further, advocating that the present system of shared leave be turned into one of personal rights, under which mothers should be allowed to take only half of the family's allowance, with the rest reserved for fathers.Since Swedish men started to take more responsibility for child upbringing, women have seen both their incomes and levels of selfreported happiness increase. Paying dads to change nappies(尿布) and hang out at playgrounds seems to benefit the whole family.【解题导语】瑞典是世界上第一个实行带薪父母假政策的国家。
