Topic 1 Festivals around the world (Book 3·Unit 1)
[主课文晨读]
FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS
Festivals and celebrations of all kinds have been held everywhere since ancient times. Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Sometimes celebrations would be held after hunters had caught animals. At that time people would starve if especially during the cold winter months. Today's festivals have many origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or events.
Festivals of the Dead
Some festivals are held to honour the dead or to satisfy the ancestors, who might return either to help or to do harm. For the Japanese festival Obon, people should go to clean graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They also light lamps and play music because they think that this will lead the ancestors back to earth. In Mexico, people celebrate the Day of the Dead in early November. On this important feast day, people eat food in the shape of skulls and cakes They offer food, flowers and gifts to the dead. The Western holiday Halloween also had its origin in old beliefs about the return of the spirits of dead people. It is now a children's festival, when they can dress up and go to their neighbours' homes to ask for sweets. If the neighbours do not give any sweets, the children might play a trick on them.
Festivals to Honour People
Festivals can also be held to honour famous people. The Dragon Boat Festival in China honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan.

In European countries, people will usually decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and will get together to have meals. Some people might win awards for their farm produce, like the biggest watermelon or the most handsome rooster. China and Japan have midautumn festivals, China, enjoy mooncakes.
Spring Festivals
The most energetic and important festivals are the ones At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fish and meat and may give children lucky money in red paper. There are dragon dances and carnivals, and families celebrate the Lunar New Year together. Some Western countries have very exciting carnivals, which take place forty days before Easter, usually in February. These carnivals might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music and colourful clothing of all kinds. Easter is an important religious and social festival for Christians around the world. It celebrates the return of Jesus from the dead and the coming of spring and new life. Japan's Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little later. The country, covered with cherry tree flowers, looks

①He looked forward to see who was making a loud noise in the crowd.

分析:①句中look forward意为“向前看”,其后所接动词不定式表目的。

(2018·德州一中高三第二次月考)Halloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31, before All Saints Day. The word “Halloween” is a shortening of All Hallows Evening, also known as Halloween or All
Hallows' Eve.
Traditional activities include trickortreating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting “ghost houses” and cutting jacko'lanterns.
Halloween has its origins in the ancient festival known as Samhain (pronounced “sahwin”). The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped (重叠) and the dead would come back to life and cause destruction such as sickness or damaged crops.
The festival frequently includes bonfire. It is believed that the fires attract the harmful insects to the area which attract bats to the area to eat them. These are additional features of the history of Halloween.Masks and costumes were worn in an attempt to imitate the evil spirits.
Trickortreating, is an activity for children on or around Halloween in which they go on from house to house in costumes, asking for treats such as candies with the question, “Trick or treat?” Trickortreating is one of the main traditions of Halloween. It has become socially expected that if one lives in a neighborhood with children one should buy treat in preparation for trickortreaters.
The history of Halloween has evolved. The activity is popular in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Canada. Bad trickortreating has started to happen among children in many parts of Europe. In continental Europe, where the commercedriven importation of Halloween is seen with more illegal “tricks” and police warnings have further raised doubt about this game and Halloween in general.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了西方传统节日——万圣节的起源和它的一些主要活动。
4.What does Halloween refer to?
A.All Saints Day. B.All Hallows' Eve.
C.Easter. D.Thanksgiving.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知Halloween是“All Hallows Evening”的缩写,也被称为“All Hallows' Eve”。
5.Why did the dead come back to life in Gaelic culture?
A.Because the dead missed their relatives and families.
B.Because they felt bored and wanted to travel in the living world.
C.Because the lines between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped on that day.
D.Because the living people were once cruel to those who died.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句中的“the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped (重叠) and the dead would come back to life”可知在盖尔族文化中,10月31日那天,阴阳两界重合,导致死去的人重生。
6.We can infer from the fourth paragraph that ________.
A.the bonfires were the origin of Halloween
B.people make a fire to keep warm
C.the bonfires can burn all the harmful insects
D.people believe that the bonfires work a lot
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第四段可知那时人们点上篝火,火把害虫和蝙蝠都吸引过来,蝙蝠吃掉了害虫。这样,人们就认为是篝火起了作用,是神灵在保护他们。
7.What is the best title of the passage?
A.The influence of Halloween
B.The meaning of Halloween
C.The main activities of Halloween
D.Halloween―a festival connected with the dead
解析:选D 标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了西方节日——万圣节的起源和它的一些主要活动。前三项不全面,不适合为标题。只有D项概括得最全面,故选D。

10.A.real B.true

17.A.might B.should
C.could D.must
解析:选A 后文举例说明愚人节时报纸、电台可能做的事情,语气并不十分肯定,故用might。
18.A.letter B.speech
C.writing D.report
解析:选D science report指“科学报告”。
19.A.so B.and
C.or D.but
解析:选C 空格前后为一些严肃的报纸、电台等在愚人节可能做的事情。人们可能会这样做,也可能会那样做, or表示选择。

语篇解读:史密斯先生右腿摔伤,不得不在医院度过圣诞节。新年前夕,史密斯先生康复出院。但在除夕之夜,史密斯先生与朋友酗酒狂欢后,回家路上又把左腿摔折了。
1.which “in which he had an operation”是“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词hospital。
2.the 特指医院里面的气味,故要用定冠词the。
3.patient 空格中所填单词在句中作表语,需用patience的形容词形式。
4.later “一段时间+later”表示“一段时间以后”。
5.to leave enough后常接动词不定式作结果状语。
6.outside 根据上下文可知,史密斯先生很高兴他能在医院外过新年了。
7.friends 从该空前的“all of”可知,此处应用friends。
8.himself enjoy oneself是习惯搭配,意思是“玩得开心”。
9.drank 该空所在句中有“that night”具体的过去时间作状语,所以谓语动词用一般过去式。
10.where 该句意思是“现在你知道新年在哪儿能看到史密斯先生了吧”,故用where引导宾语从句。

游览约塞米蒂国家公园
280
6分钟
Driving on up to Yosemite with my family was exciting but nerve
racking (神经紧张的). I had never been to such an amazing national park before, yet I wasn't the most athletic person, so I knew that I couldn't stick through all the hiking up and down. It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience.
The ride there was definitely long but worth it. As I woke up from my nap, I saw the beautiful scenery of the tall mountains and beautiful streams. The trails were made nicely for visitors. The waterfalls were breathtaking. Climbing up rocks was one of my favorite parts. Even though I fell a couple of times, I still had a lot of fun. The fact that my family and I spent so much time together trying to find out which route to take and what views to watch really brought us closer together.
The great thing about nature is that, it's just you, the views, and the people around you. There's nothing there to bother you and it's the best way to relax and enjoy yourself. Yosemite has 5 of the world's highest waterfalls, and about 300 lakes. The structure of each mountain is incredible; it's formed in ways that almost take your breath away. Some of them are of a deep dark color with waterfalls forming; some are formed with spots of green peeking (窥探) out. It's definitely something you wouldn't want to miss.
Yosemite isn't the only great National Park but based on my experience I highly recommend going out and enjoying nature with family and friends. It's a great time to bond, laugh, and take in what Mother Nature offers.

园艺志愿者

I left England for Sydney in September. It was a career move for my husband, and our 20yearold daughter was feeling adventurous and decided to come, too. However, just before leaving England, my 79yearold mother suffered a stroke (中风). Being strong and independent, she continues to live at home with the help of social services. But she couldn't look after the garden. I thought how wonderful it would be if there was an organisation offering volunteer help. Friends asked me what I planned to do in Australia, and I told them I would be looking for a volunteer position with a gardening charitable organisation. Imagine my surprise when I found just the organisation I had been looking for — Easy Care Gardening (ECG)!
There are several reasons why I volunteer for ECG. Firstly, as a newcomer to Australia I meet many great people who, like me, volunteer some of their time. We cover a large age range, but all love gardens and helping others.
Secondly, through working with ECG I have been lucky enough to explore Sydney's North Shore that I might not have had the opportunity to visit otherwise.
Finally, there are all those wonderful people we call “clients (客户)”, but are more like friends when we visit them often and tend their gardens. What great people I have met, and the stories they have to tell — the family histories, where they come from and the reasons for immigrating to Australia. I find it a privilege to have access to private gardens which, in many cases, have been the joy of their owners for many years. Each one is individual and reflects the character, needs and the history of each family. Indeed, the gardens reflect the multicultural and historical background of Sydney.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。作者因为个人经历而决定在澳大利亚做园艺志愿者,主要帮助客户打理花园。这一工作不仅让作者能够帮助别人,还为作者带来了诸多收获。
5.Why did the author move to Sydney?
A.Her husband would work there.
B.She planned to volunteer there.
C.She was very keen on adventures.
D.She had to look after her sick mother.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I left England for Sydney in September. It was a career move for my husband”可知,由于事业发展作者的丈夫去悉尼工作,作者也一同前往。故选A。
6.What made the author choose to be a gardening volunteer?
A.The popularity of ECG.
B.The tips of her friends.
C.Her own experience.
D.Her gardening skills.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“my 79yearold mother suffered a stroke (中风)”和“But she couldn't look after the garden. I thought how wonderful it would be if there was an organisation offering volunteer help ... I would be looking for a volunteer position with a gardening charitable organisation.”可知,作者母亲患中风不能打理花园,在这种情况下,作者希望能有一个帮助人们打理花园的慈善组织,这段经历使得作者萌生了做园艺志愿者的想法。
7.What do the volunteers at ECG have in common?
A.They make friends with their clients.
B.They like to explore Sydney's North Shore.
C.They are of similar ages and backgrounds.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Generation Y is known as the generation that was born in the 1980s and 1990s, although experts do not agree on when this time started. The people who make up Generation Y are often the children of baby boomers.
The millennium (千禧年) generation, as it is often called, has grown up with new technology and can use it in their jobs much better than the older generation can. __1__ They like to communicate via text messaging, Facebook and other online technology. They have high expectations and seek new challenges. __2__
Generation Y youths have a different attitude towards work, which is different from that of their parents or grandparents. __3__ They do not live to work, whereas they work to live.
__4__ They want jobs that are flexible, not always having to work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. They prefer working from their homes and taking a day or two off to spend with their family when the weather is fine.
While baby boomers worked hard, grew up with a company and stayed there for the rest of their lives, Generation Y workers do not want to do the same thing during their whole life. __5__ That means if you don't like what you do then do something else.
A.They want to spend most of their time at home.
B.They expect to change jobs at least a few times.
C.The new generation can be described as energetic.
D.Besides, they often dare to raise questions when confused.
E.The Internet, cellphones, iPads are normal for this generation.
F.Young people expect a different type of workplace than their parents
had.
G.They don't want to work as hard as their parents but spend their life in a meaningful way.
语篇解读:本文为说明文,主要讲述了“Generation Y”这一概念及其所对应的人群的特点。
1.选E 根据上文的“The millennium (千禧年) generation, as it is often called, has grown up with new technology”和下文的“They like to communicate via text messaging, Facebook and other online technology.”可知,空处的内容应涉及这一代人与科技的密切关系,故E项“因特网、手机、iPad对这一代人来说是习以为常的”符合语境。
2.选D 根据上文的“They have high expectations and seek new challenges.”可知,这一代人的期望值高且寻求新的挑战,故D项“此外,他们感到困惑时也通常敢于提出问题”承接上文,符合语境。
3.选G 根据上文的“Generation Y youths have a different attitude towards work, which is different from that of their parents or grandparents.”和下文的“They do not live to work, whereas they work to live.”可知,这一年代的人对待工作的态度与他们的父母或祖父母不同,他们不是为了工作而活着,而是为了生活而工作,故G项既承接上文说明这一代人和其父母或祖父母对于工作的态度的不同,又引出下文,说明他们对于生活的态度。
4.选F 根据下文的内容可知,本段主要讲述年轻人对工作地点的期望,故F项符合语境。
5.选B 根据上文的“Generation Y workers do not want to do the same thing during their whole life”和下文的“That means if you don't like what you do then do something else.”可知,这一代人在他们的一生中不愿做(与上一代)同样的事情,故B项“他们希望至少换几次工作”符合语境。下文中的“That”指的就是空处所在句的含义。

Topic 3 Life in the future (Book 5·Unit 3)
[主课文晨读]
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Spacemail:liqiang299A@GreatAdventureSpaceStation.com15/11/3008(Earthtime)
Dear Mum and Dad,
I still cannot believe that I am taking up this prize that I won last year.I have to remind myself constantly that I am really in AD 3008. I was unsettled for the first few days. As a result, I suffered from “time lag”. This is similar to the “jet lag” you get from flying, but it seems you keep getting flashbacks from your previous time period.So I was very nervous and uncertain at
first.However, my friend and guide, Wang Ping, was very understanding and gave me some green tablets which helped a lot.Wellknown for their expertise, his parents' company, called “Future Tours”, transported me safely into the future in a time capsule.
I can still remember the moment when the space called us all to the capsule and we climbed in through a small opening. The seats were comfortable and after a calming drink, we felt sleepy and closed our eyes.The capsule began swinging gently sideways A few minutes later, the journey was completed and we had arrived.I was still on the earth but one thousand years in the future.What would I find?
At first The air seemed thin, as though its combination of gases had little oxygen left.Hit by a lack of fresh air, my head ached. Just as I tried to make the necessary adjustment to this new situation, Wang Ping appeared.“Put on this mask,”he advised.“It'll make you feel much better.”He handed it to me and immediately hurried me through to a small room nearby for a rest.I felt better in no time. Soon I was back on my feet again and following him to collect a hovering carriage driven by computer. These carriages float above the ground and by bending or pressing down in your seat, you can move swiftly. Wang Ping fastened my safety belt and showed me how to use it.Soon I could fly as fast as him.However, I lost sight of Wang Ping when we reached because of too many carriages flying by in all directions. He was swept up into the centre of them.Just at that moment I had a “time lag” flashback and saw the area again as it had been in the year AD 2008.I realized that I had been transported into the future of what was still my hometown!Then I caught sight of Wang Ping again and flew after him.
Arriving at a strangelooking house, he showed me into a large, bright clean room.It had a green wall, a brown floor and soft lighting.Suddenly
the wall moved — it was made of trees!I found later that their leaves provided the room with muchneeded oxygen. Then Wang Ping flashed a switch on a computer screen, and a table and some chairs rose from under the floor as if by magic. he said.“You may find this difficult as it is your first time travel trip.Just relax, since there is nothing planned on the timetable today.Tomorrow you'll be ready for some visits.”Having said this, he spread some food on the table, and produced a bed from the floor.After he left, I had a brief meal and a hot bath.Exhausted, I slid into bed and fell fast asleep.
More news later from your loving son,
Li Qiang

Cutting trees in half can help scientists understand the past and now it appears it can be used to predict the future. Researchers have been looking at ring growth from trees to make sense of past weather patterns such as droughts and rain.
Combining data from the rings allowed them to create a copy of pictures of climate changes over the past 2,000 years and this information could also be used to foresee the future famine (饥荒), unrest and conflict. The project has been named Old World Drought Atlas, or OWDA.
Its main author, Columbia biologist Edward Cook, has already carried out similar projects using trees to create chronological (按年代顺序排列的) maps of droughts in Asia and North America. He believes that combining the three atlases could throw light on the global causes of droughts and climate changes.
The study, for instance, gave special attention to the importance of one of such causes, the North Atlantic Oscillation (波动), in affecting climate patterns in Europe, and specifically in making Europe wetter north of the Alps and drier south of them.
The OWDA also helped analyse historical events from a climatic perspective. For instance, the 1740-1741 famine in Ireland had so far been explained by an unusually cold winter and spring, but the atlas shows that unusually low rainfall over the spring and summer of 1741 could also have played a role. Finally this made growing food nearly impossible and caused a continentwide famine.
A better grasp of these processes could even make it possible to predict the future famine, unrest and conflict.
Cook said, “The Old World Drought Atlas fills a major geographic gap in the data that's important to determine patterns of climate changes in time. That's important for understanding causes of many droughts, and it's important for climate modelers to test hypotheses (假说) of climate forcing and changes.”
语篇解读:本文主要介绍了一个名为OWDA的项目。该项目旨在通过研究树木的年轮了解过去,预知未来。

Trailers (预告片) shouldn't really be a hard thing to do: show some footage (镜头), get people excited, but don't give too much away. It's a practice that some movies struggle to do, with many either getting too enthusiastic about showing their big plot points, and others simply not catching the magic of the movie. Considering that humans struggle with this practice so much, the folks over the 20th Century Fox decided to see what a computer could do, tasking IBM's Watson, the supercomputer, with cutting together footage from the upcoming scifi thriller, Morgan, to create the final trailer. IBM's Watson has done many things; beat human competitors in quiz shows, created reserved recipes and described the contents of photos. Now it has become the firstever AI to produce a film, trailer for the new scifi film. The result was actually surprisingly good.
Using Watson's experimental learning techniques, IBM's cutting edge AI sorted out hundreds of classic thriller trailers to learn what exactly gets an audience to that special place of being both scared and entertained. With that knowledge firmly in place, Watson processed the entire Morgan movie, selecting the 10 most thrilling and frightening moments to cut together into a trailer.
“Watson was able to model the scenes visually in order to determine:
Was a scene scary? Was it a tender moment? Was there sadness, or happiness?” said IBM's John Smith.
Although a human editor was still needed to slice the scenes together to tell a coherent story, the AI shortened the process down to only 24 hours when it typically takes around 10 to 30 days to complete a trailer. Still, it's a great impressive achievement, which the likes of Terminator Genisys could perhaps learn from in the future.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,由Watson成功制作恐怖片的预告片引出对人工智能的介绍和展望。
5.What does the author think is amazing according to the text?
A.Human editors taking 30 days to make a trailer.
B.The 20th Century Fox having produced a thriller.
C.IBM's Watson having created a trailer for a thriller.
D.Humans being able to learn from machines in the future.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第一段的“tasking IBM's Watson, the supercomputer, with cutting together footage from the upcoming scifi thriller, Morgan, to create the final trailer”和“The result was actually surprisingly good.”可知,作者认为令人惊叹的是Watson成功制作了恐怖片的预告片,故C项正确。
6.What did IBM researchers do before Watson cut together footage from the movie Morgan?
A.Teach him to beat chess competitors.
B.Feed him over 100 horror trailers.
C.Create reserved recipes.
D.Talk about photos.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段的“IBM's cutting edge AI sorted out hundreds of classic thriller trailers to learn what exactly gets an audience to that special place of being both scared and entertained”可知,在制作恐怖片Morgan的预告片之前,研究人员将数百部经典恐怖片的预告片输入Watson中供其学习,故B项正确。
7.What does the underlined word “coherent” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Exciting. B.Reliable.
C.Consistent. D.Exact.
解析:选C 词义猜测题。根据最后一段的“a human editor was still needed to slice the scenes together to tell”可知,编辑人员需要将场景整合在一起来讲述一个连贯的故事;据此可以判断,画线词意为“连贯的,有条理的”,故C项正确。
8.What can we guess is the most difficult to Watson?
A.How long the trailer should be.
B.How Watson appreciates the story.
C.How many scenes a trailer needs.
D.How Watson decides the feelings.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Watson was able to model the scenes visually in order to determine:Was a scene scary? ... Was there sadness, or happiness”可以判断,D项正确。

Topic 4 Making the news (Book 5·Unit 4)
[主课文晨读]
MY FIRST WORK ASSIGNMENT
“Unforgettable”, says new journalist
at the office of a popular English newspaper. His discussion
with his new boss, Hu Xin (HX),
HX:Welcome.We're delighted you're coming to work with us.Your first job here will be an assistant journalist. Do you have any questions?
ZY:Can I go out on a story immediately?
HX:(laughing) That's admirable, but I'm afraid it would be unusual! Wait till you're more experienced. First we'll put you as an assistant to an experienced journalist.Later you can cover a story and submit the article yourself.
ZY:Wonderful.What do I need to take with me?I already have a notebook and camera.
HX:No need for a camera. You'll have a professional photographer with you to take photographs. You'll find your colleagues very eager to assist you, so you may be able to concentrate on photography later if you're interested.
ZY:Thank you. but I took an amateur course at university to update my skills.
HX:Good.
ZY:What do I need to remember when I go out to cover a story?
HX:You need to be curious. different questions will you acquire all the information We say a good journalist must have a good “nose” for a story.That means
you must be able to assess when people are not telling the whole truth and then try to discover it. They must use research to inform themselves of the missing parts of the story.
ZY:What should I keep in mind?
HX:Here comes my list of dos and don'ts:don't miss your deadline, don't be rude, don't talk too much, but make sure you listen to the interviewee carefully.
ZY:Why is listening so important?
HX:Well,you have to listen for detailed facts.Meanwhile you have to prepare the next question depending on what the person says.
ZY:But how can I listen carefully while taking notes?
HX:This is a trick of the trade. If the interviewee agrees, you can use a recorder to get the facts straight. It's also useful if a person wants to challenge you.You have the evidence to support your story.
ZY:I see!Have you ever had
HX:Yes, but it was a long time ago.This is how the story goes. A footballer was accused of taking money for deliberately not scoring goals so as to let the other team win.We went to interview him. He denied taking money but we were sceptical. So we arranged an interview between the footballer and the man supposed to bribe him.When we saw them together we guessed from the footballer's body language that he was not telling the truth.So we wrote an article suggesting he was guilty. It was a dilemma because the footballer could have demanded damages if we were wrong.He tried to stop us publishing it but later we were proved right.
ZY:Wow!That was a real “scoop”.I'm looking forward to my first assignment now.Perhaps I'll get a scoop too!
HX:Perhaps you will.You never know.

Walk into a newsroom of journalists and you will smell coffee brewing and see people rushing for their 14th bathroom break of the day. You will see a business “about people and why they do what they do, and what it all means”.
That's how Jack Smith, 72yearold former newspaper reporter and
editor, described it to 30 visiting students from Auburn and Opelika high schools on the Auburn University campus.
While growing up, Smith waited every day for the mail carrier to pull up in his 1939 Ford and drop the newspaper off. “I'd read and study every issue, sometimes for hours on end,” he said. The stories and design of the paper began his love for journalism.
His first route when he went to college wasn't journalism though. He first wanted to become a civil engineer until someone told him the amount of math and physics involved. He then changed to the business school, eventually making the move to journalism. Paul Burnett, standing on the same place as Smith did during his speech, inspired him while he was in college.
Smith walked up the steps to his first job at the Montgomery Advertiser earning D|S50 a week. His first task was to rewrite an article on Martin Luther King Jr.
“Those seemingly meaningless stories could be just as important as a story on the front page.” He told the students that it is a job that needs hard work and they have to be eager to go and do all again the next day.
“I'm glad I didn't decide to build the Golden Gate Bridge or take Wall Street by storm,” Smith said. That wouldn't have landed him a job that is so near his heart. For him, the sweat and pain in the life of a journalist was worth every moment.
语篇解读:一位退休的老新闻记者向一群学生讲述了作为记者的工作性质以及其中的甘苦。
1.When did Jack Smith first become interested in journalism?
A.When he was in college.
B.When he worked as a mail carrier.
C.When he was at the Montgomery Advertiser.
D.When he read newspapers while growing up.
解析:选D 由第三段“The stories and design of the paper began his love for journalism.”可知,史密斯打小就期待着送报纸的来,读了报纸以后被报纸的设计及内容深深吸引,因此对新闻行业产生了兴趣。
2.Why did Jack Smith give up being a civil engineer?
A.He wasn't interested in it.
B.He wanted to learn business.
C.Paul Burnett inspired him to be a reporter.
D.His math and physics weren't good enough.
解析:选D 根据第四段中的“until someone told him the amount of math and physics involved”可推知,史密斯因为数学和物理不够好,因此放弃了当工程师的想法。
3.What did the students probably learn about journalism?
A.It is hard and boring.
B.It requires many talents.
C.It should focus on important events.
D.It deserves people's love and hard work.
解析:选D 根据倒数第二段,史密斯向学生介绍说看起来没意思的故事可能跟头版的文章一样重要。而新闻这个行业需要努力工作,需要人们热爱它。
4.The last paragraph suggests that ________.
A.Smith tried many different jobs
B.journalism mostly gave Smith pleasure
C.Smith loves being a journalist from his heart
D.Smith would have chosen a more worthy job
解析:选C 根据最后一段可知,史密斯对新闻行业由衷热爱,从未后悔过没有选择其他职业。

Does your local high school have a student newspaper?
Only 1 in 8 of New York's public high schools has student newspapers
— and many of those are published just a few times a year. A few more are online, which can leave out poorer schools.
Rebecca Dwarka, an 18yearold senior who works for her student paper, said, “Facebook is a new way of finding out what happened. Nobody wants to actually sit down and read a whole article about it, which makes a ‘whole article’ sound a little like a long sentence in lonely places.”
I am not nostalgic (怀旧的) about high school student newspapers and never worked for mine. I put out what was then called a personal magazine with a group of friends because we wanted to write about peace, war, rock’n’roll without school officials' warning us not to make jokes about the local officials.
School newspapers are in decline because students now find out what happened on social networking websites is a little discouraging because it proves that to millions of Americans, journalism is becoming a doityourself thing. Every citizen can be a reporter.
When something happens, we look for social media messages as soon as they flash, too. Facebook posts and Tweets have become the means by which citizens and reporters can prove, deny, pass on stories and express opinions without the press's challenging, researching, or slowing the message.
But truly good journalism is a craft, not just a blog post. It requires not only seeing something carefully, but also reporting it with perspective. It uses an eye for detail to help prove a larger view. And even journalism that conveys an opinion strives (力求) to be fair. If school newspapers begin to disappear, I hope there are other ways for students to learn that.
语篇解读:在美国,许多学校都有校办报纸,但是网络媒体的发展使校办报纸遇到了困境。
5.We can infer from what Rebecca said that ________.
A.students like reading detailed articles
B.school newspapers are becoming unpopular
C.Facebook is the quickest way of spreading news
D.long sentences are becoming popular in lonely places
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段内容和第三段中Rebecca说的话“Facebook is a new way of finding out what happened. Nobody wants to actually sit down and read a whole article about it”可知,校报已经变得不受欢迎。
6.In the author's opinion, social media messages________.
A.make journalism become a craft
B.aren't based on careful research
C.reflect the power of small voices
D.are usually discouraging for readers
解析:选B 细节理解题。结合倒数第二段的“Facebook posts and Tweets have become the means ... without the press's challenging, researching, or slowing the message.”可知,社交网站上的信息没有经过仔细的调查。
7.According to the author, good journalism should ________.
A.fairly convey an opinion
B.convey a message quickly
C.report news in detail
D.act as blog posts in modern times
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“It uses an eye for detail to help prove a larger view. And even journalism that conveys an opinion strives (力求) to be fair.”可知,作者认为新闻业应该公平地传达某种观点。
8.What might be the most suitable title of the text?
A.Social media or newspaper?
B.Everyone can become a reporter at present
C.Social networking brings about new journalism
D.High school newspapers — an endangered species
解析:选D 标题归纳题。本文介绍了由于网络媒体逐渐成为人们获取新闻的主要来源,造成了校办报纸几乎消失的境况,故选D。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Knowing how to get the conversation started is important, however, keeping it going is even more important. Here are some conversation skills that make people like you.
Invite people to share their lives
The most important conversation skill is to invite people to talk about their lives. __1__ Show an interest in learning about a person's history, family, ideas, or goals and it will likely get the conversation going right away. __2__
Ask openended (开放式的) questions
Openended questions require more than just a yesorno answer. Ask openended questions that encourage other people to start discussing a topic in detail. __3__ These questions really encourage other people to offer information about their story and invite them to share their opinion.
Wait for your turn to talk
Whatever you do, don't interrupt. Instead, wait patiently for your turn to talk. Interrupting is one of the quickest ways to shut down a conversation and make other people uncomfortable. Show that you value what others are saying. __4__
Request advice
Asking for advice shows that you value someone else's opinion. Just because you ask for advice doesn't mean you have to follow it. __5__ Ask your coworker if she likes your new jacket or ask a friend how you should handle a situation. Asking for advice can make others feel important.
A.Almost everyone enjoys talking about themselves.
B.You can ask for advice on both simple and serious things in life.
C.This shows that you are listening and helps clarify what you have
heard.
D.If a person appears uncomfortable sharing something personal, change the subject.
E.If someone is talking about something you don't understand, ask for an explanation.
F.Truly listen to what is being said rather than try to think of what you will say next.
G.For example, ask “What made you decide to pursue nursing?” or “How did you like living in Hawaii?”
语篇解读:懂得如何开始聊天很重要,但让聊天持续更重要。本文介绍了几个聊天技巧能让你成为受人欢迎的交谈对象。
1.选A 本空所在段落主要说明了要引导别人谈论他们自己的生活。A项中的“talking about themselves”与本空前一句中“talk about their lives”形成对应。
2.选D D项中的“something personal”与前一句中的“a person's history, family, ideas, or goals”形成对应。如果有的人对谈论一些私人话题感到不舒服的话,那就换个话题。
3.选G G项与下一句语义衔接。下一句中的“These questions”指代G项中的开放式问题。
4.选F 本空所在段落告诉我们不要插话,要耐心等待轮到你说话时再说。F项符合本段大意。
5.选B 你可以就生活中简单和重大的事情询问别人的意见。本空下一句给出了具体例子:比如说你可以问你的同事是否喜欢你的新夹克或问你的朋友怎样处理某个情况。B项中的“ask for advice”与本段主题形成对应。
Ⅲ.短文改错

[策略指导]
(一)读文快一点
1.抓首段,明文体,确保读文方向不跑偏
由首段可知,本文是一篇记叙文。读文时应该重点关注与记叙文相关的要素,一般会在首句或者首段交代4个W(where, when, who, what)。
2.抓关键词(话题词汇和行为动词),巧串联,明文章大意
结合文中“destroy the books, asked the government, refused, into her own hands, broke out, hide some books” 等表述,即可串联出文章大意,结合选项,深层次的理解文章,了解整个故事情节。
本文的段意梳理: 第1段:Alia Baker 所工作的图书馆的宝贵书籍面临被战火摧毁的危险。
第2段:Alia Baker 和身边的人在战争期间不顾自身安危保护书籍。
第3段:Alia Baker 再次转移书籍,并期待和平的到来和图书馆的重建。
(二)做题准一点
1.选A 根据下文可知,爱书人士经常到Alia的图书馆看书、分享知识,对于这些人来说,该图书馆是一个聚会处,故选meeting。
2.选D 结合语境可知,他们在这里讨论全世界各种各样的事情,故选discussed,表示“讨论,议论”。
3.选A 根据上文提到的战争即将来临,以及下文提到的Alia和身边的人保护图书馆书籍的内容可知,此处指Alia很担心书籍在战火中被毁掉,故选worried。
4.选B 根据语境及下文的“mountains of gold”可知,Alia认为这些书比金山还要珍贵,故选precious,表示“珍贵的”。
5.选C 空处上下文在语义上表示递进,指甚至(even)还有700年前的有关伊拉克历史的书籍。
6.选A 根据语境可知,她希望得到政府允许(permission)把书搬到安全的(safe)地方,但他们拒绝了。ask sb.for permission表示“请求某人的许可”,符合语境。
7.选D 参见上题解析。
8.选D 根据语境可知,每晚很晚下班后,Alia偷偷地把书带回家。secretly“秘密地,偷偷地”,符合语境。
9.选C 根据上下文语境及空后的“her car”可知,Alia把书装到她的汽车里运回家。fill表示“装满”。
10.选B 根据下文的内容可知,战争爆发后,她的朋友们也赶来帮助(help)她。
11.选D 根据下文可知,Anis同意把一些书藏在自己的餐馆里,agree to do ... 表示“同意做……”。
12.选B 根据语境可知,他们整晚都在从图书馆里搬书,这也照应了上文中的“every night”。
13.选C 根据上下文可知,他们要把书递过7英尺的高墙,并把它们藏在餐馆里。pass表示“传递”。
14.选A 参见上题解析。hide表示“隐藏”。下文的hidden亦是提示。
15.选C 根据语境及上文中的“the war broke out”可知,战争还在继续(continued)。
16.选B 根据语境及下文中的“a new library”可知,图书馆被全部焚毁了,故选library。
17.选B 一天,轰炸停止了,士兵们也离开了,所以选soldiers。
18.选D 根据下文可知,Alia知道,尽管城市是安静的,如果想要这些书安全,他们必须把这些书再转移(moved)出去。
19.选C 参见上题解析。quiet表示“安静的”。
20.选A 根据语境可知,Alia等待着战争的结束,梦想着(拥有)和平和一个新图书馆。dream of表示“梦想,期盼”。
[题后悟通]
语境推测法和上下呼应法
(1)近年来高考完形填空主要考查对语境的理解,空格的前后多有暗示,做题时,一定要从整体上把握文章结构和内在的行文逻辑。例如第2题,根据上文书友在图书馆“以书会友”可知,此处表示他们在一起会讨论世界各地的问题;3题上文提到“when the war was near”,推出Alia 担心在战火中书可能被毁,选出“worried”。
(2)上下呼应法:语篇中会反复出现某个词,或是该词的同义词、近义词,或是反义词,使得语篇中的句子语义衔接。例如4题,下文出现“mountains of gold”, 推测出Alia 认为书更珍贵“precious”。
(三)积累多一点
1.permission n. 允许;许可
2.destroy v. 摧毁
3.handle v. 处理;操作
4.precious adj. 珍贵的
5.approach v. 走近;处理
6.secretly adv. 秘密地
7.bomb v. 轰炸
8.break out 爆发
9.dream of 梦想;期盼
10.in the suburbs 在郊区
二、话题与写作

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
With a million 18-25s unemployed, it's not an easy time for young people looking to get on the job ladder. However, through the statistic I saw an opportunity that I decided to take. Throughout the past years I have worked hard to develop a number of projects to help young people gain an advantage in their careers and in life. With the support of Levi Roots, who created Reggae Reggae Sauce, I founded UnITe Computing in 2011 and since have enjoyed working with clients (客户) such as Google UK, the University of Australia and others. Though this journey has had its ups and downs, I am proud of how far we have come.
The main issue I have faced so far in my business life has been gaining the trust of others. If you are 19, not very many people believe you when you say you run a number of businesses. In fact I have been laughed at and even told to get a job by some. This was a major obstacle I had to face. To overcome it I simply established a professional and positive reputation among colleagues, friends and in the media in order to build credibility for myself and my businesses. Age should not limit your ability to succeed and I have gained more respect due to my willingness to give back and reward the communities which support me.
One of the young business people I personally support is Ryan Farquharson who runs Lovethequote.com. He says, “To anybody that has an urge to run their own business I would absolutely say go for it, anyone can do it!”
It's this gogetting attitude that I firmly believe needs to be encouraged and developed among today's young people. The “one million unemployed youth” statistic is a key drive for change and an opportunity to get up and make something of yourself; you simply have to go for it and pick up support. That is what my journey and my story aims to inspire.

2.The underlined word “obstacle” in Paragraph 2 means “________”.
A.pressure B.difficulty
C.frustration D.disappointment
解析:选B 词义猜测题。由于年龄小,作者不能取得别人的信任,因此如何取得别人的信任成为作者在创业途中碰到的最大“困难”。
3.By mentioning Ryan Farquharson, the author wants to ________.
A.show the achievement Ryan Farquharson has made
B.encourage young people to turn to him for support
C.explain what is the most important thing to succeed
D.introduce the right attitude young people should have

By the end of last year, a British woman had failed her driving theory test 110 times.But the woman is not giving up just yet. It is hard to believe that the 30yearold, from Southwark, southeast London, has failed the test three times — taking her total number of unsuccessful attempts to a record 113. This year, the price of the test was lowered from £31 a time to £25.Amazingly, if she had started sitting the exam at the age of 17, she would have sat it more than eight times a year for the past 13 years.
Although no other learner has come close to the woman's number of attempts to pass her driving theory test, several seem to be trying their best. A 30yearold man from Peterborough has failed the theory test 86 times.A 27yearold man from Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire, Wales, and a 39yearold man from London have both failed their 66th attempt to pass the exam this year. And a 47yearold man from Reading has struggled through 61 tests without any luck.
Research shows that although men are said to be around six per cent more likely to pass the practical driving test than women, they are six per cent less likely to pass their theory test. Even when learners manage to pass the theory test, some still struggle to master the practical exam and have to spend a lot of money on it.
For example, one middleaged man forked_out at least £2,294 sitting the practical driving test a record 36 times before, thankfully, passing at his 37th attempt. The practical driving test, which lasts about 40 minutes, costs £62 to take on a weekday or £75 on an evening, weekend
or holiday. It is generally considered more difficult than the theory test.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。在英国,一些人为了考取驾照已经多次参加考试而且投入了不少的时间和金钱。
5.How much has the woman spent on her driving theory test?
A.£2,825. B.£3,410.
C.£3,485. D.£3,503.
解析:选C 细节理解题。由第一段中的“By the end of last year ... 110 times.”和“a record 113”以及“This year, the price of the test was lowered from £31 a time to £25.”可知,该女子为了通过理论考试已经花了3 485英镑(31×110+25×3),故选C项。
6.We can learn from the research that ________.
A.women drivers are often very dangerous
B.women can pass the driving theory test easily
C.men do better when it comes to driving vehicles
D.more and more people cannot afford a driving test
解析:选C 推理判断题。由第三段中的“men are said to be around six per cent more likely to pass the practical driving test than women”可知,在实践操作部分男性的通过率要高于女性,这说明男性更擅长开车,故选C项。
7.The underlined words “forked out” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by “________”.
A.spent B.found
C.won D.saved
解析:选A 词义猜测题。由该短语后的“at least £2,294 the practical driving test ... passing at his 37th attempt”和“The practical driving test ... costs £62”可知,这位中年男子花费了至少2 294英镑才通过路考,故选A项。

Joseph Kern, husband and father of two made a surprise stop home in honor of his daughter's 2nd birthday.
Kern, who is in the Army National Guard, and his wife, Sarah Woldoff,“decided after much discussion to have him come home,” Woldoff said.
“The military (军队) no longer has leave, so if you come home you have to pay for it,” she said, adding, “It was worth every dollar.”
The couple's first stop Thursday was to surprise their daughters, 3yearold Estelle and 2yearold Pearl, at school.
Woldoff said seeing her husband reunite with the girls was “breathtaking.”
“It was great to see Estelle's face. I think she was a little bit confused and in shock,” Woldoff said.
But Pearl apparently didn't recognize her father and walked right past him.
“We were both slightly disappointed with Pearl's response,” Woldoff said. “She's so young that she doesn't have as much of a memory of him as we expected.”
Woldoff had even more in store Thursday night to surprise her motherinlaw. She called up a restaurant and told them about the surprise.She suggested that her husband be the family's waiter, and the restaurant was “totally on_board.”
“They gave him a full uniform and kept him in the back,” she said. And when he came out, “My motherinlaw didn't even realize it was
him. We had to point it out,” Woldoff said. “She was in great shock and just hysterical (歇斯底里的).”
Woldoff said she hopes having the emotional reunions recorded on video will help her 2yearold remember them.
“I'm really glad we did it the way we did. Pearl's too little to have any memory of it, but I think Estelle will remember,” Woldoff said.“And it'll ease the transition (过渡时期).Everyone forgets he has to go back on Tuesday.”
9.Seeing her father, Pearl ________.
A.was very surprised
B.got extremely excited
C.acted like he was a stranger
D.recognized him immediately
解析:选C 推理判断题。由第七段内容“But Pearl apparently didn't recognize her father and walked right past him.”可推断,Pearl见到父亲时像看到陌生人一样没有反应。
10.The underlined part “on board” in Paragraph 9 can be replaced by “________”.
A.on a ship
B.on an airplane
C.unaware of the plan
D.involved in the reunion
解析:选D 词义猜测题。由第十段开头的“They gave him a full uniform and kept him in the back”可推断,饭店方面支持并参与了这场精心策划的团聚。故画线部分的意思应该是“参与团聚”。
11.Why didn't Woldoff's motherinlaw recognize Kern?
A.Because he had changed a lot.
B.Because she had a poor memory.
C.Because he was in waiter's uniform.
D.Because she hadn't seen him for a long time.
解析:选C 推理判断题。由第十段开头的“They gave him a full uniform and kept him in the back”可推断,Woldoff的婆婆之所以没有认出Kern来是因为他穿着服务员的制服。
D
When my husband walks in the door after working late, his first words to me are “Thank you.” He's thanking me for taking care of the kids.He usually follows it up with “I'm sorry” for having worked late, even though it was not his choice.
Those words express his respect and admiration for the work I am doing at home with our three children. I'm sure he is tired from a long day at work, but he knows I am physically and emotionally exhausted as well from a long day at home. He may not spend as much time caretaking as I do, but he's done enough to know what I am going through every day.
When our children were babies, he would do latenight and earlymorning feedings whenever possible.“I would like to do it.” He wanted to help me and spend time with our children. Now that our kids are a little older (2, 5 and 10 years), he's still a handson father. He does not shy away from any tasks of parenting.
He's lucky to have a job that's allowed him to marry his passion for art with earning enough money to support a family.His job has allowed me to be home for a total of almost a decade so far. Money is necessary and important — I cannot deny that fact. But his attitude reflects that raising our children is the most important job.
I know my husband's attitude and actions will stay with my kids, because it stayed with my husband from his own childhood. His dad always respected and valued his mother's contribution, so my husband viewed childcare as an important job in itself.
My husband is certainly not perfect, but he's pretty extraordinary in his recognition of the value of parenting. He gives everything he has
to them — every ounce of energy, attention, patience and love that he has within. I am blessed to have a considerate husband.
12.What is probably the author's husband's job?
A.A doctor. B.A driver.

13.How many years has the author been a fulltime mother?
A.Almost five years. B.Almost seven years.
C.Almost ten years. D.Almost twelve years.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知作者当了近10年的全职母亲。
14.The author's husband's attitude towards childcare is influenced by ________.
A.his father B.his teacher
C.his friend D.his boss
