Unit 3 Travel journal Grammar课时作业

第一节.阅读理解

Every year from March to October, Christian Moullec, also known as “Birdman”， takes to the skies aboard his adapted light aircraft. However, the 58­year­old French­man's daily 30­minute flight is not just to enjoy the impressive views, but to guide flocks (鸟群) of lesser white­fronted geese (小白额雁) through safe migration paths which the birds can teach future generations.

His deed began in 1995 when he noticed their declining population in the wilds of Lapland, Sweden. To prevent their numbers from dropping further, Moullec tried to get the threatened species to follow him along migration routes that would protect them from bird hunters.

However, getting grown geese to follow his lead proved challenging. As young geese imitate and follow whomever they view as their parent, Moullec decided to raise the geese from birth.

To help raise funds and awareness of his job to protect not just the geese but birds worldwide, Moullec often allows paying tourists to join him on the 30­minute­long flights aboard his aircraft. In addition to the trained birds flying alongside them, visitors, who come from as far as a 15­hour plane flight away, are treated to a variety of crane and geese species as well as breathtaking views of castles and cities.

He often brings his camera along for the flights, capturing photos not just for their beauty, but for what they describe. Moullec believes the use of agricultural chemicals has done harm to wild European birds, with more than a third disappearing in the last 30 years. “It's a disaster，” he said.“My beautiful images with flying birds should be used to tell this story.”

tips 标题归纳题的四大切入点

标题是文章中心思想的精练表示形式。标题归纳题考查考生把握主题和理解中心思想的能力，要求考生在理解文章的基础上运用判断、归纳、概括等方法，对文章的主题进行高度概括或提炼，最终准确地选出文章的标题。

①标题形式：单词、短语或句子。

②选标题的四大准则：精——概括中心思想的语言要精练；准——注意文章的内涵和外延，作者的观点表达得要准确；统——能统领全文；新——新颖才能吸引读者。此外，一些题材的标题也要考虑其趣味性。

③解题方法：在了解文章大意的基础上，仔细考虑选项内容与文章主题是否有密切联系；看选项内容对文章的概括性和覆盖面如何；要注意题目范围不能过大或过小。

④设错方式：概括不够；过度概括；以事实细节替代概括性强的大意；无中生有，生搬硬套.

tips 完形填空之利用生活常识、背景知识解题

完形填空的语篇中往往渗透着诸如文化科学、历史地理、风俗民情等方面的知识。考生在做题时，若能积极地调动自己掌握的文化背景知识和生活常识，巧妙地加以运用，特别是注意中西文化的差异，将会大大简化复杂的分析与判断过程，节省宝贵的时间，从而轻松地做出正确判断。事实上，该技巧与“逻辑推理”常常交织在一起，因为虽有背景常识，但仍需简单推理；逻辑推理也离不开背景常识。

例如上文第10题，由生活常识可推知他进步那么快应归功于每天的训练。

【参考答案】

Dear Sir/Madam,

I’ve learned some foreigners are coming for a visit and the Students’ Union needs some volunteers to introduce the traditional Chinese art Peking Opera. I’m writing to apply for this position.

This visit will not only be a rare opportunity to promote Chinese culture but also will create a platform for students to practice oral English. In addition, with several years of learning experience in Peking Opera, I have a good knowledge of it, including types of roles, facial makeup and musical instruments, which offers me an edge over others.

I am looking forward to your early reply. Your consideration will be highly appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
