2019届一轮复习译林版选修六Unit4 Helping people around the world学案
All around the world,an increasing number of people are spending their time taking part in online volunteering projects.What encourages them to help strangers without expectation of money or even thanks?
Radha Taralekar helped teach Imelda how to protect herself from HIV,though the two have never met,and neither knows the other’s name.Taralekar received no payment for the job.For Taralekar,the project gave her the chance to use her professional experience.“I want to serve people with my medical knowledge,” she said.For some,the inspiration to volunteer online was far more personal.After losing his wife to cancer,Tony Selman spent many hours online helping Cancer Research to collect information on the illness.“Seeing how painful she was when my wife was dying,I decided to help scientists find a way to treat cancer,” he said.
Interests and hobbies are also one of the reasons.Sam Luk joined other online volunteers to try to help the police solve murder cases.The police posted them online,calling for volunteers to help them to make sense of the messages.“I am interested in this and I love Sherlock Holmes,” said Luk.
For writer Clay Shirky,some large online volunteering projects help millions of people,giving him a sense of achievement.He helps write Wikipedia,the world’s biggest encyclopedia(百科全书),which is written by people willing to use their professional knowledge.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2018·泰州中学高二检测)
On a recent visit to the Museum of Modern Art with a friend and her daughter,wandering through the museum’s exhibits,I was struck by how often my friend’s 13yearold daughter asked us to take photos of her with her smartphone in front of the artwork.Then,she gazed at the photos which she would then post on Instagram,Snapchat and all the rest.She was not the only person who was doing this;it seemed everyone was busy taking photos of themselves “experiencing” the museum.
This is by no means a criticism of my friend’s daughter or anyone else.What was concerning,at least to me,was that in between being photographed and posting,my friend’s daughter had no interest in the artwork,a fact which didn’t seem to matter or have anything to do with wanting to post herself as someone enjoying the experience.
When I was her age,I had no interest in going to museums either.Having no interest in art at her age (and any age) is completely normal.But what is disturbing is how much of a young person’s energy these days goes into creating an image of the life they’re living and the character they “are” in that life.While creating a selfimage has always been a big part of growing up and figuring out our identity,social media seems to have changed the rules of the game.Social media has not just increased the pressure and possibility of creating a selfgenerated(自我创造的
) selfimage,but also distorted(歪曲) the process through which we become who we are.Young people now seem to be creating an image of who they are in place of becoming who they are,posting their life rather than living it.
Social media has turned life and its experiences into an exercise in narcissism(自恋,自我陶醉).No matter what the experience is actually about,it becomes about you,the person who is living it.A concert is not about the music,a restaurant not about the food and a sport event not about the sport;it’s all about you,the doer,and what the event says about you.As a result,the more we use life to create an identity,the more distant from life we feel.Instead of being part of it,we feel as if we have to keep generating new life material.
I hope the next time you post your story,pause for a moment and experience where you are,feel what it feels like to live what you’re living without using life for your benefit,or for anything at all.Just live,without the narrative(叙述).While you may feel this practice is a threat to your identity,causing you to miss a chance to prove your value,in fact,the benefit will far outweigh any loss it brings.
语篇解读 本文主要讲了现在很多人都热衷于在社交媒体上分享照片。但是比起照片中的“生活”,真真切切地感受当下更为重要。
31.According to the author,the fact that her friend’s daughter was not interested in the artwork is .
A.worrying B.unsurprising
C.unchangeable D.unbearable
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“...my friend’s daughter had no interest in the artwork,a fact which didn’t seem to matter or have anything to do with wanting to post herself as someone enjoying the experience.”以及第三段前两句可知,作者朋友的女儿对艺术品不感兴趣,作者并不惊讶。故选B。
32.Which of the following is the basic reason behind people’s continuously posting their life?
A.Their desire for being well known.
B.Their increased focus on life.
C.The influence of social media.
D.The pressure from their family and friends.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“...social media seems to have changed the rules of the game.Social media has not just increased the pressure and possibility of creating a
selfgenerated(自我创造的) selfimage,but also distorted(歪曲) the process through which we become who we are.”可知,根本原因就是社交媒体的影响。故选C。
33.The author believes that the identity people create through narcissism may .
A.prevent them behaving properly
B.stand in the way of leading a true life
C.cause them to depend more on the remarks of others
D.damage their creativity in producing life material
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段倒数第二句“As a result,the more we use life to create an identity,the more distant from life we feel.”可知作者认为,通过自恋创建的身份可能会挡住通向真实生活的道路。故选B。
34.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .
A.trying to take control of your feelings
B.facing the threat to your identity bravely
C.improving your selfimage through writing
D.experiencing what you’re doing practically
答案 D
解析 代词指代题。根据最后一段最后一句“While you may feel this practice is a threat to your identity,causing you to miss a chance to prove your value,in fact,the benefit will far outweigh any loss it brings.”(虽然你可能觉得这种做法是对你的身份的一种威胁,使你错过机会证明你的价值,事实上,它的好处将远远大于它带来的任何损失。)可知it在本句中指代this practice,而this practice指的是本段第一句中的“实际体验你正在做的事情”,故选D。

一、错综时间条件句
在这种条件句中,虚拟条件句即条件从句和主句所指时间不一致,因此,主句和从句的谓语动词要根据各自所指的不同时间选择适当的动词时态。
If I were you,I wouldn’t have missed the film last night.如果我是你,我就不会错过昨晚那场电影。
If they had started in the early morning,they would arrive in half an hour.

Without electricity(=If there were no electricity),life would be quite different today.
如果没有电,生活就和现在的非常不一样了。

留长发的那个小伙子走起路来就像个小姑娘。
2.if only表示“要是……就好了”,其后虚拟语气的用法见前面“经典句式”中讲的。

如果昨天我来参加晚会就好了。
四、虚拟语气在宾语从句中的应用

我希望我们现在休息一下。
五、虚拟语气在主语从句中的应用
1.“It+is+形容词+that引导的主语从句”句型中的虚拟语气,从句谓语动词用动词原形或“should+动词原形”。

2.Ellen is a fantastic dancer.I wish I as well as her.(2015·陕西,23)
A.dance B.will dance
C.had danced D.danced
答案 D
解析 考查虚拟语气。句意为:埃伦是一位了不起的舞蹈家。要是我能跳得像她一样好那该有多好啊!I wish后接从句,从句用虚拟语气。由语境可知,此处叙述的是与现在事实相反的情况,故谓语动词用过去时,选D项。
3.I wish I at my sister’s wedding last Tuesday,but I was on a business trip in New York then.(2015·天津,13)
A.will be B.would be
C.have been D.had been

解析 考查虚拟语气。句意为:要是我上周二参加了我姐姐的婚礼那该多好啊,但是当时我在纽约出差。wish后的宾语从句要用虚拟语气;由I was on a business trip...可知是对过去发生过的事情的虚拟,故要用过去完成时。
4.Without his wartime experiences,Hemingway his famous novel A Farewell to Arms.(2015·重庆,7)
A.didn’t write B.hadn’t written
C.wouldn’t write D.wouldn’t have written
答案 D
解析 考查虚拟语气。句意为:要是没有战争时的经历,海明威就不会写出他的著名小说《永别了,武器》。该句使用了含有without的含蓄虚拟语气,由语境知,这里是对过去情况的假设,因此主句部分用would/could/should/might+have done,故D项正确。
5.It is lucky we booked a room,or we nowhere to stay now.(2015·安徽,32)
A.had B.had had
C.would have D.would have had
答案 C
解析 考查虚拟语气。句意为:很幸运我们订了一个房间,否则我们现在将无处可住。or

6.They were abroad during the months when we were carrying out the investigation,or they to our help.(2014·浙江,16)
A.would have come B.could come
C.have come D.had come
答案 A
解析 考查虚拟语气。句意为:我们进行调研的那几个月他们出国了,要不然的话,他们就会来帮助我们了。由关键信息or可知,此处是隐含的虚拟条件句,or相当于if they hadn’t been abroad。这是在叙述与过去事实相反的情况,因此这里谓语动词用would have done,故A项正确。
7.We would rather our daughter at home with us,but it is her choice,and she is not a child any longer.(2014·陕西,23)
A.would stay B.has stayed
C.stayed D.stay
答案 C
解析 考查虚拟语气。would rather后跟宾语从句时,从句谓语动词用过去式表示与现在或将来事实相反,用“had+过去分词”表示与过去事实相反。根据后一句中的is可知,此处动词应用过去式,故选C项。
8.It was John who broke the window.Why are you talking to me as if I it?(2014·重庆,13)
A.had done B.have done
C.did D.am doing
答案 A
解析 考查虚拟语气。句意为:是John打坏了窗户。为什么你说得好像是我打坏的似的?题中broke表示“打坏窗户”发生在“过去”。as if/though后面的从句用had done表示对“过去”的虚拟。故A项正确。
9.Eye doctors recommend that a child’s first eye exam at the age of six months old.(2013·浙江,8)
A.was B.be
C.were D.is
答案 B
解析 recommend建议,其后常接that 引导的宾语从句,而宾语从句中要用sb. should do或者sth. should be done的形式,should常可省略。故本题应选B项。
10.I to my cousin’s birthday party last night,but I was not available.(2013·安徽,28)
A.went B.had gone
C.would go D.would have gone
答案 D
解析 考查虚拟语气。句意为:昨天晚上我本来要去我表弟的生日晚会,但是我没空。would do表示对将来或现在的假设;would have done表示对过去事情的假设,意思是“本来会做”。but后面是实际情况,而前面则是虚拟语气,故答案为D。

A.would call B.had called
C.have called D.would have called
答案 D
解析 句意为:——为什么当时你不给我打电话?——哦,我的手机没电了。否则的话我会给你打的。此处相当于if条件状语从句中与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,主句用would/should/could/might+have+过去分词,指如果我的手机当时有电的话我会给你打的。故选D项。

A.had taken;should not be
B.have taken;am not
C.took;should not be
D.had taken;can’t be

9.But for the help of my English teacher,I the first prize in the English Writing Competition.
A.would not win B.would not have won
C.would win D.would have won
答案 B
解析 由but for引起的介词短语在句中作状语时,句中的谓语动词常用虚拟语气。此处表示与过去事实相反,故用would have done形式,根据句意可知,选B。
10.Without the air to hold some of the sun’s heat,the earth at night ,too cold for us to live.
A.would be coldly freezing
B.would be freezing cold
C.would be frozen cold
D.will freeze coldly
答案 B
解析 句意为:如果没有大气层保温,夜晚地球就会非常寒冷,冷得我们无法生存。此句是含without的含蓄虚拟语气,表示与现在事实相反,谓语用would+动词原形。freezing冰冻的,严寒的;frozen冷冻的。

(2017·启东中学高二检测)
It’s no surprise that sports can greatly benefit a child physically,psychologically,and socially.A 2008 Women’s Sports Foundation Research Report concluded that children’
s athletic participation is also associated with increased levels of family satisfaction,great achievement in study,and an overall better quality of life for children.And a study published in last month’s American Journal of Preventive Medicine showed that kids who are active at age 5 wind up with less body fat at ages 8 and 11.
But one hotly debated discussion focuses on the kinds of sports kids should play,with parents mistakenly thinking,“Lizzie is so quiet,we should let her join in basketball and soccer to try to get her to open up.” But increasingly,experts are suggesting the healthier instinct (直觉) might be,“Lizzie is so quiet.Maybe we should see if she likes playing with a big team like softball or if she likes ballet or swimming,where she can work more on her own terms.”
“Participation in any sport is going to provide kids with life skills—the ability to focus and to concentrate,the ability to handle pressure in tough situations,the ability to stay calm when things aren’t going just right,” explains Orlandobased youth sports psychology expert Patrick Cohn.Those lessons will carry over into future,nonsports attempts.
Team sports certainly offer benefits not as easily obtained via individual activities,as players learn how to communicate and work with others,and there’s the potential to develop leadership abilities.Team sports also help kids develop their social identity.Our sense of worth is developed through what we achieve and a sense of belonging.
Individual sports offer unique advantages,too,like developing a child’s sense of independence.“Here,you don’t depend upon teammates,” says Cohn.“You take full responsibility,whether you do well or perform poorly.” Many of Cohn’s young clients complain about pressure from teammates or coaches to make zero mistakes or carry more of the team than they may want to;these kids may enjoy a solo sport like tennis or gymnastics.
Individual activities keep kids away from comparing themselves to the best players on the team,a habit that does little to help confidence levels.Instead,it encourages them to compare their skills to their own past performances.With individual sports like swimming or track,it’s easier for the child to participate on his own,at his leisure(闲暇),without having to round up a bunch of likeminded peers.
Above all,while some children enjoy the excitement of competition,others are more likely to benefit from the freedom of individual sports,and finding the right balance can be necessary for children’s enjoyment.What parents think is encouragement,children often consider as pressure.So try to understand what they want from sports.

A.take possession of;in possession of
B.take the possession of;in the possession of
C.take possession of;in the possession of
D.take the possession of;in possession of
答案 C
解析 take possession of拥有,占有,为固定短语;第二空前的主语为物(it),故应用in the possession of “被……所拥有”。
2.Health care is limited as there are no doctors or nurses in the villages—no one has the means to pay them.

[易混辨析] means,method,manner,way
这几个词都含有“方法,方式”的意思。
means
单复数形式相同,多指抽象的或概括性的方法。当该词前加a,this,that,every等时,表单数意义;当前面加such,these,those,all,some等时,表复数意义。
method
是可数名词,其后接“of+动名词”,不接不定式;特指系统的方法、方式。
manner
通常用单数形式,其后可以接“of+动名词”。主要表示个人特殊的或怪异的方式,而不用于表示传统或习俗所形成的方式方法。
way
可数名词,使用范围很广,较多地用在具体的事情上或口语中。其后可以接to do...,也可以接“of+动名词”。
“用这种方式”可用以下短语表达:by this means,in this way,with this method,in this manner。

C.is it D.it is
答案 C
解析 句意为:所有的英国人都通晓他们自己的语言,这绝不是真的。by no means绝不,表否定意义,位于句首时,句子用倒装结构;形式主语应用it,故选C。
3.However,if the pump breaks down,repairing it can be troublesome,as an engineer has to come from the nearest town to repair it.

(4)The two countries are going to meet to some barriers to trade between them.
A.make up B.use up
C.turn down D.break down
答案 D
解析 考查动词短语辨析。句意为:这两个国家打算会面来打破双方之间的一些贸易障碍。break down打破,使垮掉,符合句意。make up编造,弥补,组成;use up用尽,用光;turn down拒绝,调低(音量或热度)。
经典句式
However,if the pump breaks down,repairing it can be troublesome,as an engineer has to come from the nearest town to repair it.

C.caught;lost D.catching;losing
答案 A
解析 句意为:你听说了吗?消防战士冲进燃烧的房子,其中的三个人不幸困住了,失去了生命。这里是独立主格结构。three of them 与catch是被动关系,故用过去分词;three of them与lose是主动关系,故用现在分词。

Step Four 连句成篇
Dear Mr Smith,
I’m very glad to hear that your international shopping center will build a “Nonsmoking Supermarket”.In my opinion,it is a good idea to do so,for not only can it help the smokers to smoke less,but it can also do good to other customers’ health while they are doing some shopping there.Since you have given up some benefits by not selling cigarettes,the smokers are most likely to support you in return.They will be happy to follow your suggestions,not considering their rights and freedom again there.In addition,smoking in the shopping center may cause fire,which is very dangerous for both your possessions and the customers.
All in all,the “Nonsmoking Supermarket” will not affect your business.On the contrary,it will help you to attract more customers who want to keep healthy.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

参考范文
Dear Mary,
I am sorry to hear that you have been ill for days and hope you have got better now.You have studied so hard that you have had no time for exercise.This is harmful to your health.You have been in poor health these years.I feel it would be more beneficial to your health if you could take more exercise in future.
Do not think that time spent on exercise is wasted.Exercise can improve your physical constitution and refresh your mind.Only when you have a strong body can you keep on studying without feeling fatigue.
I am not advising you to devote all your time to exercise.What I want to say is that exercise is as useful and important as your study.I hope you can take at least one hour’s exercise every day after you have recovered.I would be more than happy to see you have a stronger body.
Sincerely yours,
John

Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2017·启东中学高二检测)
More than four decades ago British scientist Robert Edwards first witnessed the miracle of human life growing inside a test tube at his Cambridge lab.Since that groundbreaking moment,more than four million babies have been born through IVF and in 2010 his great contribution to science was finally recognized as he was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine.
The prize for Dr.Edwards,who was given a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award in 2008,
includes a £900,000 check.The Nobel Assembly described IVF as a “milestone in modern medicine”.
With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe,the Manchesterborn physiologist developed IVF—leading to the birth of the world’s first test tube baby.Dr.Steptoe died 10 years later but their work has transformed fertility treatment and given hope to millions of couples.
It was a scientific breakthrough that transformed the lives of millions of couples.They said,“His achievements have made it possible to treat infertility,a disease which makes human unable to have a baby.This condition has been afflicting a large percentage of mankind including more than 10% of all couples worldwide.”
Louise Brown,the world’s first test tube baby,made international headlines when she was born in Oldham,Gtr Manchester,in 1978 to parents Lesley and John who had been fruitlessly trying for a baby since 1969.
IVF—in vitro fertilization—is the process whereby egg cells are fertilized outside the body before being implanted in the womb.After a cycle of IVF,the probability of a couple with infertility problems having a baby is one in five—the same as healthy couples who conceive naturally.
Professor Edwards,who has five daughters and 11 grandchildren,began his research at Cambridge University in 1963,after receiving his PhD in 1955.He once said,“The most important thing in life is having a child.Nothing is more special than a child.” With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe,Prof.Edwards founded the Bourn Hall clinic in Cambridge shire,which now treats more than 900 women a year.Each year,more than 30,000 women in Britain now undergo IVF and 11,000 babies are born as a result of the treatment.
But his work attracted widespread criticism from some scientists and the Catholic Church who said it was “unethical and immoral”.
Martin Johnson,professor of reproductive sciences at the University of Cambridge,said the award was “long overdue”.He said,“We couldn’t understand why the Nobel has come so late but he is delighted—this is the cherry on the cake for him.”
Professor Edwards was too ill to give interviews but a statement released by his family said he was “thrilled and delighted”.
语篇解读 本文讲述了诺贝尔奖获得者英国科学家Robert Edwards,他的主要贡献是试管婴儿。人们对他的评价褒贬不一。
11.What is Robert Edwards’ contribution to science?
A.Enabling millions of couples to live a better life.
B.Helping couples with infertility to have tube babies.

D.Challenging a disease which stops human having a baby.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知,他对世界的贡献在于使得不孕夫妇通过试管婴儿拥有了自己的孩子。故选B。
12. Why did Professor Edwards begin his research on tube baby?
A.Because a special child did make a difference to an ordinary family.
B.Because the birthrate around the world was unexpectedly low then.
C.Because he thought it of great significance to have a child in life.
D.Because his fellow scientist wanted to give hope to the unlucky couples.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第七段第一、二句可知,他认为孩子在家庭生活中是非常重要的,于是开始研究试管婴儿,帮助不孕夫妇。故选C。
13. It can be inferred from Paragraph 8 and Paragraph 9 that .
A.Professor Edwards deserved the prize for his breakthrough
B.different opinions were voiced on Professor Edwards’ finding
C.some people envied Professor Edwards for his being awarded
D.the prize was late because the finding was first considered immoral
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。第八段中,有些科学家对此提出了批评;第九段中,也有科学家高度赞扬了他,由此可知,人们对他的评价褒贬不一。故选B。
14. What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Life Stories of Robert Edwards
B.Preparations for Having a Baby
C.Nobel Prize for IVF Expert Edwards
D.Treatment of Infertility in a Lab
答案 C
解析 标题归纳题。本文讲述了诺贝尔奖获得者英国科学家Robert Edwards,他的主要贡献是试管婴儿。人们对他的评价褒贬不一。故C项作标题最恰当。
Ⅲ.任务型阅读
(2018·南京师范大学、连云港华杰实验学校高二检测)
In tech,many people agree speed and agility(敏捷) are how you win when it comes to product.But what they fail to grasp is that speed matters to the rest of the business too.What are the two building blocks of speed?
MAKING DECISIONS
The process of making and remaking decisions wastes a large amount of time at companies.The key point: when a decision is made is much more important than what decision is made.Deciding on when a decision will be made from the start is a powerful change that will speed everything up.
Note that speed doesn’t require one leader to make all the calls topdown.The art of good decisionmaking requires that you gather input and viewpoints from your team,and then push toward a final decision in a way that makes it clear that all voices were heard.
Estimating comfort on your team is a helpful measure of whether you’re going fast enough.You know you’re going fast enough if there’s a lowlevel discomfort,people feeling tired out.But if too fast,you’ll see it on their faces,and that’s important to spot too.
CONDUCTING DECISIONS
As General George Patton said,“A good plan violently conducted now is better than a perfect plan next week.”
1.Challenge the due date.
Some plans and action items come out of meetings without being assigned due dates.It’s not that everything needs to be done now,but for items on your important path,it’s always useful to challenge the due date.
2.Recognize and remove dependencies.
A big part of this is making sure people aren’t waiting on one another to take next steps.The untrained mind fails to do continuous activities—i.e.I’ll do this after you do that after X,Y,Z happens.Just as it is as equally important as assigning a deadline,you need to pick out any dependencies around an action item.
3.Use competition the right way.
Talking about your competition is a good way to add urgency.But you have to be careful.As a leader,your role is to determine whether your team is going fast because they’re panicked,or if they don’t seem to be doubtful enough.Based on the answer,competition is a helpful tool.
