课时作业 十二 模块2　Unit 3 Amazing people2‎ 建议时间 / 40分钟 ‎　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 词数: 282　主题:伟大的女性形象 　文体:说明文 Strongest female literary characters of all time There are some of history's most inspiring and great females who can be found on the pages of these novels.‎ Elizabeth Bennet Called “Lizzy” or “Eliza” by her family and friends, Elizabeth Bennet is the stubborn and clever heroine from the 1813 Jane Austen novel Pride and Prejudice. She's the second eldest of five daughters in the Bennet family and, like the rest of her sisters, she is expected to marry for status and money, not for love. To remain true to herself, she would rather remain single, a concept that was unheard at the time.‎ Nancy Drew She first appeared in the 1930s but remains one of the most iconic female characters in all of literature. Created by Edward Stratemeyer, Nancy Drew wasn't simply a pretty girl. Instead, the bold, physically strong, and fiercely intelligent Nancy used her superior intelligence—not her looks—to solve a series of mysteries.‎ Josephine March Jo March is the second eldest daughter in the March family and is a central focus in the novel Little Women, published by Louisa May Alcott in 1868. At 15, she is strong-willed, confident, and literary and unlike her sisters, she is outspoken and uninterested in marriage. Jo both struggles with and challenges society's expectations of how women in the 19th century should carry themselves, making her one of literature's most daring female characters.‎ Hester Prynne Recognized by some critics as one of the most important characters in female literature, Hester Prynne is the leading character in Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1850 novel, The Scarlet Letter. Married but separated by distance from her husband, Hester has an affair with a minister and becomes pregnant.‎ ‎1.

The collection, Birds in the Mouth, has been translated and published by Shanghai-based publisher Reader.‎ ‎“Sometimes I hold the Chinese edition and choose a story at random and try to guess which one it is. But it is almost impossible for me; even the length is different,” says Schweblin. “When a book is translated into a Western language, I can at least understand some parts of my stories, and therefore suffer some doubt about the quality of the translation. But my Chinese edition is more like an act of faith.”‎ Born in Argentina in 1978, Schweblin says she is influenced by the literary traditions of the La Plata area, home to many famous Latin-American novelists.‎ Interested in writing stories of ordinary lives where suddenly something extraordinary happens, something new, strange or unknown, she thinks, “The strangers and the unknown are not always related to ghosts or aliens, but can be something related to the known world, something that actually could happen.”‎ Birds in the Mouth tells its readers a story about a divorced father who worries about his 13-year-old daughter and her mysterious appetites. It turns out that his daughter eats live birds.‎ The idea for this story came to Schweblin when she was browsing the Internet. “Click, click, click, a picture of a little girl who looks frightened with her hands covering her mouth came to my eyes. Little by little, I developed the story in my mind, and then wrote it down,” recalls Schweblin.‎ Although there are elements of violence and bloodiness in Schweblin's stories, she skilfully hides them, thinking the trick to writing a thrilling story is to stop the monster from appearing, while maintaining a frightening and mysterious atmosphere.‎ ‎4.Samanta Schweblin came to China to 　　　　. ‎ A.pay a visit to Beijing B.translate her stories into Chinese C.help to make her book more popular D.publish her collection ‎5.When mentioning her Chinese edition, Schweblin thinks 　　　　. ‎ A.she suffers some doubt about the quality of the translation B.her Chinese edition is slightly different from the original one C.she can understand some parts of her Chinese edition D.she has a strong belief in her Chinese edition ‎6.From the passage we can tell that Schweblin 　　　　. ‎ A.has an appetite for writing something extraordinary B.got the idea of her story Birds in the Mouth by design C.tries to quit describing violent and bloody scenes in her story D.thinks her writing style is mainly affected by some famous native novelists ‎7.We can probably read the passage in 　　　　. ‎ A.a textbook B.a newspaper C.a report D.science fiction Ⅱ.阅读七选五 People are people Globalization has brought different cultures together in a way unimaginable. Today, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Africans, Anglos, and Hispanics may all work in the same offices, attend the same schools or live in the same neighbourhoods. 　8　 And our society has lately emphasized(强调) the importance of diversity. ‎ ‎　9　Take the following old proverbs for example. ‎ ‎“Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.” Thomas Jefferson, former American President ‎“One falsehood spoils a thousand truths.” African proverb ‎“Be honest to those who are honest, and be also to those who are not honest.” Lao-Tzu, Chinese philosopher ‎“A sacrifice is written off by a lie and the merit of devotion by an act of cheat.” Hindu saying ‎　10　 These seem to be a sort of cultural unity. ‎ We don't wish to imply all cultures are the same. Cultural diversity is real, and people from different cultures view many situations in different ways. However, historically, different cultures seem to share many common values. They are justice, courage, patience, generosity, equality, mercy and kindness, respect for the elders, and many more. Lying and stealing appear to be wrong no matter where you go. Perhaps some cultures make room for extenuating(情有可原的) circumstances more than others; perhaps cultures apply these virtues in different ways; and when values disagree, different cultures may place different levels of importance on them. 　11　 But both cultures may still value both. ‎ To us, it seems as if there is some sort of code of right and wrong that everyone everywhere seems to understand, regardless of culture. It is almost as if, behind all of the diversity, one finds a common understanding—a human culture, if you will—that goes beyond racial, social, and political boundaries. 　12　 ‎ A.All people seem to agree that we should tell the truth.‎ B.As cultures meet with each other, many differences stand out.‎ C.Each value supports many more sayings from different cultures.‎ D.We want to show, however, that there is more to these cultures than diversity.‎ E.These sayings from four separate cultures all support the same value—honesty.‎ F.It is almost as if, despite all our differences, we are all still the same—we are just people.‎ G.In other words, one culture may lean more towards justice and another culture more towards mercy.‎ Ⅲ.短文改错 Great changes have been taken place in my village. Ten years ago, the small and low houses of my village lie on the north of a lake. The villagers produced many waste. As a result, the lake was serious polluted. To the west of the village was a sandy field, where was the source of much dust.‎ Now the poor house have been replaced by green trees. However, the sandy field that the villagers used to plough has been covered of fruit trees. On the lake, now clean and clear, the villagers often spend their spare time fish.‎ In word, my village has become a green one.‎ Ⅳ.书面表达 假设你是李华,你的外籍好友Jane在你校举办的汉字拼写大赛中获得了一等奖。请你给她写一封信,内容包括:‎ ‎1. 向她表示祝贺; ‎ ‎2. 请她介绍语言学习的经验。‎ 注意:1. 词数100左右;‎ ‎2. 可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯; ‎ ‎3. 开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数。‎ 参考词汇:汉字拼写大赛Chinese Character Spelling Contest Dear Jane,‎ I'm Li Hua. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua 课时作业(十二)‎ Ⅰ.
