Unit 18 B卷一、阅读理解AWomen are more independent than ever—yet still rely on men to sort out their finances.And the consequences could be terrible.According to a recent survey，only 47 percent of women are saving enough for retirement，compared with 59 percent of men.40 percent of women admit they leave pension provision to their husbands to sort out.“The outlook for women’s finances in the future is terrible.It’s really worrying，”says Professor Pine.“A lot of women think that somebody else is going to take c are of things，yet women have a 70 percent chance of ending up being responsible for their own financial well­being when they get older—either because they remain single，live longer than their husbands，or get divorced，”says Professor Pine.The message is clear for those women who let their husbands take care of their savings—women have to start taking responsibility for their own finances.But why do some of us find it so hard?There are several reasons that women find it hard to save，says Sarah Pennells，“Eve n though the gap is closing，women still earn less than men，on average，which makes it harder for them to put money away，”she says.There is also the fact that fewer women in the private sector have access to decent pension schemes，because the kind of industries they work in are less likely to offer them.But there are other non­practical reasons why women are not putting money away.“Women get confused by the variety of choices，”says Professor Pine.“Many of us find money issues boring.Financial information is written by men for men，it is full of jargon(术语)，and women are_put_off_by it.They look at all the choices and perhaps think，‘I don’t understand this，I don’t know what is the right thing to do，I’m so scared of doing the wrong thing’，so they end up doing no thing.”But there is a deeper psychological force at play.Women’s attitudes to money are more complex than the relationship that most men have with their finances，which can make money a huge source of fear and stress for women.1．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A．Why Are Women So Hopeless with Money?B．Who Should be Responsible for Our Finances?C．The Outlook for Women’s Finances in the FutureD．Different Attitudes Between Women and Men2．How many men are saving enough money for their retirement among 500 people?A．200. B．235. C．295. D．350.3．The underlined words“are put off by”in the text probably mean______.A．are sensitive to B．are disappointed withC．show no interest in D．show concern for4．According to the text，women______.A．depend on their husbands psychologicallyB．get more than men financiallyC．put away money traditionallyD．get pension schemes easilyBGood manners play an important part in maintaining peace and goodwill in a community.A man with good manner s doesn’t hurt others’feelings，and therefore he’s on good terms with everyone.In this way he helps to keep peace in society.But a man with bad manners has no respect for others.He uses words carelessly and behaves rudely toward others and causes a lot of unpleasantness.In the end，he himself will suffer the most.Everyone will avoid him and he will be forced to live a lonely life.To live well in a society，money alone is not enough.We should also have good manners，for it’s human nature to seek friendship；and friendship cannot be bought with money.Friendship has to be earned through our own attitude toward others.If we are kind to others，they will be kind to us，and kindness is essential to good manners.Bad manners drive away friends as well as our own family members.On the other hand，a man with good manners has many friends.He commands(博得)the respect of all those who come into contact with him.He doesn’t speak ill of others.Even when he’s provoked，he tries his best not to offend others.He has sympathy for the weak and the disabled.There are，however，many people who behave so well outside their homes that they are respected and admired by everyone.But in their own homes they are worse than the devil(魔鬼)．Such people cannot be said to have good manners.It does not take long for others to discover this.If one’s manners are good，one behaves well everywhere，even when one is awayfrom the critical eyes of others.It is therefore essential for everyone to have good manners.5．The greatest benefit that people with good manners bring to society is______.A．peace B．joyC．respect D．friendship6．The underlined word“provoked”in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by“______”．A．got tired B．proved friendlyC．made angry D．left alone7．People with good manners do the following EXCEPT that______.A．they behave well even when they are alone or away from the public eyes B．they only speak ill of others behind their backs when others offend them C．they are kind toward others and bring a lot of joy to themD．they respect the weak and are sympathetic toward the disabled8．We can learn from the text that for people only behaving well outside their homes，______.A．they will still be respected by people outsideB．their friendliness is nothing but pretence(伪装)C．it is difficult to say whether they have good manners or notD．they can keep friends but will drive away family members二、任务型读写阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

2017-2018学年语言朋友(88)阅读理解The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place.Now it is an ecological disaster area.Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of years，Polynesian people lived in the remote island of Nauru，far from western civilization.The first European to arrive was John Feam in 1798.He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship.He called the island Pleasant Island.However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first.The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol.These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island.A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1，400 to 900.Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐)on the island.In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which was a very important fertilizer for farming.The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine.When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil.Then it takes away the material it wants.Strip mining totally destroys the land.Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world.Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses.Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem－their phosphate was running out.Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing.By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined.Experts say that it would take approximately $433，600，000 and more than 20 years to repair the island.This will probably never happen.解题导语：瑙鲁曾经是一个美丽的地方，但由于人们无节制地开采磷酸盐，它可能永远不能再恢复原来的生态了。

2017-2018学年语言朋友(83)阅读理解Child prodigies (神童) cause awe, wonder and sometimes jealousy: how can such young children display the kinds of musical or mathematical talents that most adults will never master, even with years of hard practice? It is widely acknowledged that prodigies are born, not made.Practice alone isn't going to turn out the next 6­year­old Mozart.So finds a recent study of eight famous young prodigies, which sought to make it easier to understand the causes of their talent.The study found a few key characteristics these youngsters had in common.For example, they all had exceptional working memories, far better than ordinary people.Surprisingly, however, the study found that not all of the prodigies had high IQs.Indeed, while they had higher­than­average intelligence, some didn't have IQs that were as remarkable as their early achievements would suggest.The authors also found that prodigies scored high in autistic (自闭症的) features, especially in their extreme attention to details.They scored even higher on this feature than people diagnosed (诊断) with Asperger's syndrome, a high­functioning form of autism (自闭症) that typically includes great enthusiasm about details.Three of the eight prodigies had a diagnosed autism disorder.Four of the eight families included in the study reported autism diagnoses in first-or-second-degree relatives, and three of these families reported a total of 11 close relatives with autism.In the general population, in comparison, about 1 in 88 people have either autism or Asperger's.Other unusual similarities between prodigies and those with autism: they're both more likely to be male and both are associated with difficult pregnancies, suggesting that what they had gone through before they were born may play a role in their development.Yet, very little research has been done on the connection between autism and extreme talent.As a matter of fact, prodigies appear to benefit from certain autistic tendencies.In other words, these children may have some genetic feature or learned skill that allows them to maintain intense focus, without damaging their social skills or suffering from other disabilities that typically accompany autism paring these children with those who have autism could therefore potentially help explain what goes wrong in those who develop disabling forms of autism and what goes right in others with similar features who simply benefit from the condition and are able to improve their abilities.解题导语：天赋异禀与自闭症之间存在着某种关系，“神童”更易具有一些自闭症特征。

2017-2018学年语言朋友(81)阅读理解Life is to be enjoyed.There's no point in giving up something you enjoy unless you get something back that's even better.When people eat more healthfully, exercise, quit smoking, and manage stress better, they find that they feel so much better that it reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living.The latest studies show that when you exercise and eat right:YOUR BRAIN receives more blood flow and oxygen, so you become smarter, think more clearly, have more energy, and need less sleep.Two studies showed that just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many new neurons (神经细胞) to grow that it actually increased the size of people's brains!YOUR FACE receives more blood flow, so your_skin_glows more and wrinkles less.Y ou look younger and more attractive.In contrast, an unhealthy diet, chronic emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face so you age more quickly.Smoking accelerates aging because nicotine causes your arteries (动脉) to narrow down, which decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle earlier.This is why smokers look years older than they really are.YOUR GENES change.In May, a study was published in theProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showing that changing your lifestyle changes your genes.YOUR TELOMERES (染色体端粒) get longer.Telomeres are the ends of our chromosomes (染色体) that control how long we live.As telomeres become shorter, then cells age more quickly, thus shortening your life.Besides, one of the most interesting findings in the study was that the mothers' awareness of stress was more important than what was really occurring in their lives.The researchers gave the women a questionnaire and asked them to rate on a three-point scale how stressed they felt each day, and how out of control their lives felt to them.The women who were aware that they were under heavy stress had significantly shortened and damaged telomeres compared with those who felt more relaxed.On the contrary, some of the women who felt relaxed despite raising a disabled child had more normal­appearing telomeres.In other words, if you feel stressed, you are stressed; if you feel fine, you are fine.解题导语：最新研究表明，多锻炼和保持健康的饮食对人体益处多多。
