选修八 Unit 5 课下语篇提能练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 Though the harmful effects of plastic on wildlife and human health are welldocumented, this material is hard to avoid.Nearly everything we touch, from grocery bags to drink bottles, to food packaging, contains plastic.Now, Amsterdam's Ekoplaza supermarket is making it a little easier for consumers to reduce consumption of singleuse plastic bags and containers, which are blocking our landfills at alarming rates, with a special plasticfree aisle (通道)．Believed to be the world's first, the aisle has 700 products on sale including rice, beans, yogurt, chocolate milk, cereal, snacks and meat.‎ While items still require packaging, everything is housed inside reusable or recyclable containers made of glass, metal or cardboard.The unique idea was given to the grocerychain officials by UKbased environmental group A Plastic Planet, which takes the lead to advocate for at least one plasticfree aisle in supermarkets around the globe.The nonprofit has even created a signature “plasticfree” mark to help consumers identify ecofriendly packaging. “This is a consumerled campaign，” said a group cofounder Sian Sutherland. “We're a grassroots organization.So obviously we're working with industry and the government, but most importantly, we represent the public.”‎ Ekoplaza, which plans to roll out the plasticfree aisles across its 74 stores by the end of the year, is not the only company trying to reduce plastic waste.In Berlin, the Original Unverpackt grocery store has been trying to change customer habits since 2014 by selling everything, from grain to produce and even soaps without plastic packaging.The supermarket, which requires customers to bring their own reusable containers, even sells chewable toothpaste that needs no tubes.‎ Though it is encouraging to see companies trying to make a difference, for real change to happen, consumers have to avoid products encased in plastics, even if it means giving up their favorite food or drink.As Sutherland put it, “Plastic food and drink packaging remains useful and yet a destructive presence on the earth for centuries afterwards.”‎ 语篇解读：本文主要介绍了超市在减少塑料包装上的努力。‎ ‎1．What does Ekoplaza want to do by setting up a plasticfree aisle?‎ A．Cut down managing cost.‎ B．Reduce plasticpackaging.‎ C．Make shopping much easier.‎ D．Increase the amount of sales.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Now, Amsterdam's Ekoplaza supermarket is making ... with a special plasticfree aisle (通道)．”可知，Ekoplaza设立无塑料通道是为了减少塑料包装，故选B。‎ ‎2．Which of the following can make a real difference?‎ A．Consumers.　　　　　　 B．Supermarkets.‎ C．Organizations. D．Companies.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可推知，尽管公司正在尽力发挥作用，但是只有作为塑料包装消费主体的消费者行动起来才会减少塑料垃圾，故选A。‎ ‎3．What does Sutherland think of plastic packaging in the future?‎ A．It will be of no use to consumers.‎ B．It will exist for a long time.‎ C．It will disappear in this century.‎ D．It will replace other containers.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“Plastic food and drink packaging remains useful and yet a destructive presence on the earth for centuries afterwards.”可知，塑料包装还会存在很长一段时间，故选B。‎ ‎4．What might be the title of the passage?‎ A．Plastics Are Harmful to the Environment B．Nonprofits Can Help the Supermarkets C．Consumers Should Change Shopping Habits D．Supermarkets Take Action for a Cleaner Planet 解析：选D　标题归纳题。根据第一段的导入和最后一段的总结可知，本文主要介绍了超市在减少塑料包装上的努力，故选D。‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 John Carpenter didn't like to buy toys that somebody else had made.He liked the fun of __1__ them himself.The thought that they were his own work __2__ him.‎ Tom, one of his playmates, thought a toy was worth nothing __3__ it cost a great deal of money.He never tried to make __4__， but bought all his toys.“Come and look at my horse，” said he, one day，“it __5__ a dollar, and it is such a beauty！” John was soon __6__ his friend's horse, and he was examining it __7__ to see how it was made.The same evening he tried to make a __8__ one for himself.He went into the wood shed and __9__ two pieces of wood — one for the head of his horse, the other for the body.It took him two or three days to shape them to his __10__.But what about the wheels?

‎1．Surrounding　考查非谓语动词。胡同环绕着紫禁城，它们中的许多建造于元、明、清时期。分析该句结构可知，many前面的部分为状语；主语many代指“胡同”，和动词surround之间是逻辑上的主动关系，故用现在分词。‎ ‎2．dynasties　考查名词复数。根据该句中的“Yuan, Ming and Qing”可知，该处指三个朝代，且dynasty为可数名词，故用复数形式。‎ ‎3．The　考查冠词。北京城的中心是皇宫——紫禁城。根据该句中的“of the city ‎ Beijing”可知，该处特指“北京城的中心”，故用定冠词The。‎ ‎4．closed　考查形容词。根据句子结构和空后的名词“China”可知，空处修饰该名词，表示“闭关自守的”，故用形容词。‎ ‎5．their　考查代词。根据空后的名词短语“former neat arrangement”可知，空处修饰该名词短语，故用形容词性物主代词。‎ ‎6．were improved　考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。1949年中华人民共和国成立以后，胡同的状况得到了改善。该句主语为“hutong conditions”，和动词improve之间是被动关系，故用被动语态；因为主语“hutong conditions”为复数，且根据该句中的时间状语可知，该句介绍过去发生的事情，故用were improved。‎ ‎7．down　考查介词。但是近年来，许多胡同中的房子被拆毁，取而代之的是现代化的建筑。pull down为固定搭配，意为“拆毁”。‎ ‎8．both　考查连词。both ...and ...为固定搭配，意为“两者都……”。‎ ‎9．third　考查序数词。该处指“在北京市区的胡同中的房子占整个地区的三分之一”，分数的分母用序数词，故用third。‎ ‎10．have survived　考查动词时态。根据该句中的“still occupy”可知，该空表示过去的动作对现在产生的影响，故用现在完成时。‎ Ⅳ.短文改错 ‎(2019·山东滨州第二次模拟)In most cases, almost everyone visit a café or friend's house asks for the WiFi password first.The Internet seems have become one of your basic needs.And 60% of the world's populations still doesn't have Internet access.The situation is even more worse in some countries — only one in 10 people have regular access to the Internet.That's why in the recent survey, many people think of Internet access as a privilege instead of a human right.‎ However, the UN has made it clearly since 2011 that the Internet, that should be accessible to everyone, is a human right.‎ 答案：第一句：visit→visiting 第二句：seems后加to; your→our 第三句：And→But; populations→population 第四句：去掉more; have→has 第五句：the→a 第六句：clearly→clear；第二个that→which ‎
