必修4 Unit 4 Body language李仕才一、阅读理解AFacing increasing pressure to raise students' scores on standardized tests, schools are urging kids to work harder by offering them obvious encouragements. Happy Meals are at the low end of the scale. With the help of businesses, schools are also giving away cars, iPods, seats to basketball games, and —in a growing number of cases — cold, hard cash. The appeal of such programs is obvious, but the consequences of tying grades to goods are still uncertain. It's been a common tradition in middleclass families to reward top grades with cash as a way to teach that success in school leads to success in life. But for many disadvantaged minority children, the longterm benefits of getting an education are not so clear, according to experts.No one knows for sure how well cash and other bigticket rewards work in education in the long run. But there are plenty of concerns that this kind of practice could have negative effects on kids. Virginia Shiller, a clinical psychologist, says that it's worth experimenting with cash encouragements but that tying them to success on a test is not a worthwhile goal. “I'd rather see rewards based on effort and responsibility — things that will lead to success in life,” she says.Even if rewards don't lead to individual achievement on a test, they could have a meaningful effect in the school. Charles McVean, a businessman and philanthropist (慈善家), started a tutoring program which pays higherachieving students $10 an hour to tutor struggling classmates and divides them into teams. During the course of the year, students bond and compete. The team posting the highest math scores wins the top cash prize of $100. McVean calls the combination of peer (同龄人) tutoring, competition,and cash encouragements a recipe for “nothing less than magic”.For its part, the Seminole County Public Schools system in Florida plans to continue its report card encouragement program through the rest of the school year. The local McDonald's restaurants help the poor district by paying the $1,600 cost of printing the report card. Regina Klaers, the district spokeswoman, says mostparents don't seem bothered by the Happy Meals rewards. “There are many ways we try to urge students to do well, and sometimes it's through the stomach, and sometimes it's the probability of students winning a car,” she says. “One size doesn't fit all.”【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文,主要论述了物质奖励对学生的成绩是否有促进作用。
试题习题、尽在百度仔细审题、认真作答必修4 Unit 4 Body language身体语言晨读·记忆A MisunderstandingIn general , spokenstatements a re the major way of communication , but body language and facial expressions a lso have such kind of function . For example, yawning means being not interested and turning one ’s b a ck to someone or swinging your fist shows your anger . But what those gestures really mean is subjective in different cultures . Thus , misunderstandings happen now and then in today’s world of cultural crossroads .Once, representing the Adult s ’ Education Association , I went to the airport to meet an official of high rank from Columbia and take him to hisdormitory and then to the canteen . After the flight arrived, I saw a man looking aroundcuriously . So I approached to greet him. He suddenly dashed to hug me and kissed me on both cheeks . As a young girl, I felt truly embarrassed and put up my hands to defend myself. His false smile told me that he had lost face . Later, I received a cassette f rom him, in which he recorded his apology . On hearing that Columbians were more likely tokiss others, I soon felt at ease .一场误会通常说来,口头表达是人们交流的主要方法,但是肢体语言和面部表情也有这种功能.例如,打哈欠意味着不感兴趣,背对别人或向其挥舞拳头表达的是愤怒.但是在不同的文化中那些手势表达的真正意思是很主观的.由此,误会就时不时地发生在今天这个文化交叉碰撞的世界里.有一回,我代表成人教育协会到机场去接一位从哥伦比亚来的高级官员,我得带他到宿舍和食堂.当他的航班到达时,我看见一名男子好奇地东张西望,于是走上前去和他打招呼.他突然猛冲过来拥抱我,还亲了我的脸颊.还是个年轻姑娘的我感到真尴尬,不由自主举起手来保护自己.他的假笑告诉我他感到丢了面子.后来,我收到他送来的一盒磁带,里面录了他的道歉.当听到这只是因为哥伦比亚人更倾向于见面时互相亲吻时,我很快就感到轻松安心了.I.单词盘点1.__________(n.) 陈述;说明→_________(vt.)陈述2.__________(vi.&vt.) 迎接;问候3.__________(vt.) 代表;象征→__________(n.)代表4.__________(n.) 社团;联系;联想→__________(vt.) 把……联系起来5.__________(n.) 宿舍6.__________(n.) 食堂7.__________(n.)航班;飞行。

(2018·济南高三针对性训练)The Amazon basin region is home to about 2.5 million insect species,tens of thousands of plants,and some 2,000 birds and mammals.To date,at least 40,000 plant species,3,000 fish,1,294 birds,427 mammals,428 amphibians,and 378 reptiles have been scientifically classified in the region.One in five of all the birds in the world live in the Amazon rainforest.The warm and wet forest has been in existence for at least 55 million years,and thrived even during glacial periods,allowing for the evolution of an unbelievable diversity of species.Radiocarbon dating(放射性碳定年法) has revealed trees of 10 centimeter in diameter to be more than 300 years old,and some trees over 1,000 years old,indicating that untouched forests can experience unbelievable longevity.The first human inhabitants are thought to have settled in the Amazon region about 11,200 years ago.European explorers arrived in the 16th century,bringing diseases which traveled faster than the explorers themselves,killing perhaps as many as 90% of the indigenous inhabitants(土著居民).By the late 17th century the Amazon basin was controlled by Portuguese and Spanish explorers.The Amazon rainforests has been described as the lungs of our planet because of its important role in recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen.But due to deforestation(滥伐森林),rainforests now cover less than 5% of the Earth’s land surface,and experts believe that this is a big contributor to global climate change.Severe deforestation began in the 20th century,with 587,000 square kilometers lost up to the year 2000.Most deforested land is used for grassland to raise farm animals and agriculture.The addition of transport routes has led to increased settlement and deforestation,and at the present rate,scientists estimate that the Amazon rainforest will be reduced by 40% in two decades.【解题导语】本文主要讲述了亚马逊热带雨林的历史、丰富的物种以及现在所面临的危险。

2018-2019学年高考英语一轮复习Unit4Bodylanguage高考试卷分块专练新人教版必修4Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·长沙一模)In between running one of the world's largest charitableagencies and acting as Microsoft's technology advisor, Bill Gates manages to findtime to read books, both long and short. Now Gates —who has been labeled a “greedy”reader — has released a list of his favorite books. All of the books are standoutreads, according to the billionaire, most of which are focused on business andeconomy.Here are Bill's top four picks (with parts of his full review of each book).Business Adventures, by John BrooksBrooks' collection was published in 1969 and remains one of Gates' favorites.He reread it again this year, labeling it the best business book he has ever read.“Shortly after we met, War ren Buffett lent me this collection of businessarticles from The New Yorker from the 1950s and 1960s. I loved them as much as hedid. Brooks' insights (洞察力) into business have aged beautifully, and they areas true today as ever.”Capital in the TwentyFi rst Century, by Thomas PikettyPiketty's novel hit the shelves in August 2013 and sparked much discussionconcerning income inequality throughout this year. Gates also got to sit down withPiketty himself after reading the nonfiction work to discuss the t opic.“As I told him, although I have concerns about some of his secondary pointsand policy prescriptions, I agree with his most important conclusions: inequalityis a growing problem and governments should play a role in reducing it.”How Asia Works, by Joe StudwellStudwell's work, which was published in May 2014, addresses how countries suchas Japan, South Korea and China have continued to achieve high growth, and why othercountries have failed to do the same.“The agriculture section of the book was particularly insightful. It providedample food for thought for me as well as the whole Agriculture team at our foundation.And it left us thinking about whether parts of the Asian model can apply in Africa.”Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization, by Vaclav SmilSmil's books are a constant favorite of the Microsoft's founder — one of hisbooks makes Gates' list almost every year. Making the Modern World came out latein 2013 and explores the global use of materials, from silicon to wood and plastic.“If anyone tries to tell you we're using fewer materials, send him this book. With his usual skepticism and his love of data, Smil shows how our ability to make things with fewer materials —say, soda cans that need less aluminum —makes them c heaper, which actually encourages more production.”语篇解读:本文介绍了比尔·盖茨喜欢阅读的四本关于商业和经济的书。
Unit 4 Body language 李仕才 ***阅读理解。 BOOKS | ABOUT BOOKS By David Hugh Smith | APRIL 5,2017
As a little girl,Beatrix Potter loved the country and loved animals.So she brought many different creatures—rabbits,mice,even lizards—into her tiny world. As she grew older,Beatrix got better and better at drawing animals and nature.Then she started adding stories to her illustrations,making them into books. British author Matthew Dennison is the latest until last year to turn the story of Beatrix Potter herself into a book:Over the Hills and Far Away:The Life of Beatrix Potter.Indeed,Ms.Potter's extraordinary life makes for an absorbing tale. Nearly 75 years after her passing,she still is one of the most famous children's writers in the world.Millions of copies of her 23 books have been sold—in many languages, Potter won her popularity by involving readers in the dilemmas of her characters using simple,almost poetic words. Dennison's text is filled with telling observations.He skillfully weaves Potter's stories into his description.But Dennison could have benefited from following Potter's example of straightforward storytelling.His description is nonlinear(非线性的).This can prevent the reader from understanding Potter's life. Dennison,however,repairs this with earnest descriptions,including his beautifully affectionate descriptions about Potter's life.At the end he describes the view today from the sitting room of her Hill Top home,now a museum in Cumbria County,in a way Potter would have loved:It stretches...past stone cottages and snaking lanes to...the blue slopes of mountains and the distant glimmer of sunlight on lake water,over the hills and far away. 1.What can we learn about Over the Hills and Far Away: The Life of Beatrix Potter? A.It is about animals and nature. B.It is written by David Hugh Smith. C.It is an absorbing story about children. D.It is a newly published story about Potter. 2.Which of the following is the book's writing style? A.Simple and poetic words. B.Straightforward storytelling. C.Clear and reasonable argument. D.Vivid and affectionate descriptions. 3.What type of writing is the text likely to be? A.Book review. B.Children's literature. C.Advertisement. D.Science fiction. 【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要向读者介绍了作家BeatrixPotter,以及英国作家Matthew Dennison写的一本关于Beatrix Potter生活的书。 长难句分析:Millions of copies of her 23 books have been sold—in many languages.(第四段第二句) 译文:她的23本书被翻译成多种语言,已售出数百万册。 词汇积累:illustration n.插图 extraordinary adj.令人惊奇的,非凡的 earnest adj.真诚的,认真的 affectionate adj.深情的,充满爱的 1.D 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,这本书是关于Beatrix Potter的,A、C项错误;这本书是英国作家Matthew Dennison写的,B项错误;这本书是最近出版的关于Beatrix Potter故事的书,D项正确。故选D。 2.D 细节理解题。Dennison, however, repairs this with earnest descriptions,including his beautifully affectionate descriptions about Potter's life.(最后一段第一句) 译文:然而,Dennison用真诚的描写,包括他对Potter生活的优美深情的描述弥补了这个不足。 解题思路:根据关键句可知,这本书的写作风格是使用了生动深情的描述。故选D。 3.A 推理判断题。整篇文章都在介绍英国作家Matthew Dennison出版的这本关于Beatrix Potter生活的书,讲到了这本书的内容、写作手法等等,因此这应该是一篇书评。故选A。
