UNIT 2 Sports cultureUNIT 2单元提能强化练ⅠⅡⅢⅣⅠ.阅读理解A(2023湖南衡阳高二上期中)It was on her 14th birthday that her first book,In the Forest of the Night,was accepted for publication.It was a huge success gaining the attention of millions of young readers.At 16,her second novel,Demon in My View,also reached the bookstores.Several books later,the teenage author still continuously works in her room,surrounded by shelves full of dark tales about vampires(吸血鬼) and witches(女巫).Amelia Atwater-Rhodes is widely seen as America’s finest teen writer and was named one of Teen People’s “20 Teens Who Will Change the World”.ⅠⅡⅢⅣBorn in 1984,she began making up stories when she was about three years old.“I never stopped and said,‘I want to write’,” Amelia remembers.“I loved stories and created stories before I was old enough to know how to write them down.”In her family,reading was basic and fun.“My parents encouraged me to read and to read anything I wanted,so long as I was reading,” she said.“They never limited what I read.Later,when I started writing,they never criticized what I did or said I was ‘too young’.They never said it was impossible for me to achieve what I have.”ⅠⅡⅢⅣIn her short but successful career,Amelia has tried different styles.But vampires were the first characters to really come alive in her work.From them she has developed a whole world,one which she always enjoys learning more about.As a published teen writer,Amelia’s advice to other teens who dream of being authors is:just do it! “I believe anything is possible.Don’t give up your dreams just because you fear failure.Getting a book published is difficult but if I can do it,others can too.”【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了著名的吸血鬼系列作品的作者,美国著名的青年作家Amelia Atwater-Rhodes的童年时期阅读经历以及创作文学作品的过程。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ1.When did Amelia Atwater-Rhodes’s second book appear in bookstores?A.In 1984. B.In 1987.C.In 1998. D.In 2000.答案 D 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Born in 1984”,以及第一段“At 16,her second novel,Demon in My View,also reached the bookstores.”可知,她出生于1984年,第二部小说出版于她16岁时,也就是2000年。故选D项。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ2.What do we know about Amelia’s parents?A.They helped her with writing stories.B.They fully supported her.C.They thought she was too young to read.D.They chose what she read.答案 B 解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“My parents encouraged me to read and to read anything I wanted,...to achieve what I have.”可知,她的父母一直支持她阅读和写作,从来不会批评或者阻止她。故选B项。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ3.What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to?A.Vampires. B.Teenagers.C.Different styles. D.Her works.答案 A 解析 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“But vampires were the first characters to really come alive in her work.From them she has developed a whole world,one which she always enjoys learning more about.”可知,吸血鬼在她的创作过程中是非常重要的角色,她写的书中很多都是和吸血鬼相关的,所以说她在吸血鬼身上发展了一个完整的世界,故本句中them指代的是“吸血鬼”。故选A项。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Good News for Teen WritersB.Is It Possible for a Teen Writer to Be Published?C.Advice on Being Teen WritersD.A Top-selling Teen Writer Pens Vampire Tales答案 D 解析 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了著名的吸血鬼系列作品的作者,美国著名的青年作家Amelia Atwater-Rhodes的童年时期阅读经历以及创作文学作品的过程,所以“一位畅销的青少年作家写吸血鬼故事”可以作为文章标题。故选D项。ⅠⅡⅢⅣBWhen she first started learning about the climate change from one of her elders,Fawn Sharp was invited on a helicopter flight over the Olympic Mountains to survey the Mount Anderson glacier.But the glacier was gone, melted by the warming climate.Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasn’t there anymore.Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change.And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson,a full-time lecturer at the University of Washington Bothell,US,an idea for a class.ⅠⅡⅢⅣThis term,she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies.She used the experiences of Native American tribes(部落),scientists and activists,and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix—that “this is such an intractable problem that they’re going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives”.Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic(怀疑论者).Then he did his own reading and research,and changed his mind.Dillon wasn’t going into environmental work—he was a computer-science major.Yet,the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a full-time volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration(恢复) projects.ⅠⅡⅢⅣSix months into the work,he decided that Atkinson’s class was just what he was looking for—a place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate.Atkinson said she hoped the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that would happen over their lifetimes.“We are already changing the planet—so many species are going to be lost,displaced or massively impacted,” she said.“The future isn’t going to be what they imagined.”【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。Fawn Sharp通过一次搭乘直升机飞行的经历认识到了冰川融化和环境污染问题的严重性;同时Jennifer Wren Atkinson决定给学生开设课程,教学生如何面对环境污染,让更多的学生关注环境问题。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ5.Why did the author mention the case of Fawn Sharp?A.To lay a basis for Fawn Sharp’s further research.B.To prove Fawn Sharp’s work is similar to Atkinson’s.C.To lead into the issue of loss caused by climate change.D.To show scientists’ concern about the Mount Anderson glacier.答案 C 解析 推理判断题。通读第一段可知,Fawn Sharp在一次直升机飞行中意识到气候变化导致了冰川融化。由此可推知,作者在第一段中提及Fawn Sharp的例子是为了引出下文气候变化导致环境问题的话题。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ6.What’s the main purpose of Atkinson’s class?A.To explore how different people deal with climate change.B.To get students more concerned about the environmental issue.C.To find solutions to the environmental issue of Olympic Mountains.D.To teach students how to conduct research about environment.答案 B 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知,由于气候变化引起环境问题,她产生了在大学开设环境保护课程的想法。由此可知,Atkinson开设课程的目的是让学生更加关注环境问题。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ7.Which of the following best explains “intractable” underlined in paragraph 3?A.Simple. B.Difficult.C.Common. D.Interesting.答案 B 解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“no easy fix”以及下文的“they’re going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives”可知,这是一个十分困难的问题,以至于学生们要用他们的余生来解决它。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ8.How did Atkinson’s class influence Dillon?A.It made him work as a part-time volunteer for restoration projects.B.It made him realize a planet-wide climate disaster would happen.C.It encouraged him to be more involved in environmental protection.D.It discouraged him to work on restoration projects for the environment.答案 C 解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Six months into the work...discuss his concerns about a changing climate.”可知,Dillon在环保组织做了六个月志愿者之后,他认为在Atkinson的课堂上他可以讨论他对气候变化的担忧。由此可推知,Atkinson的课鼓励Dillon更多地参与到环境保护中。ⅠⅡⅢⅣCTo solve a big environmental problem,chemists have been thinking small. Really small:a new mini robot with the purpose of helping clean up tiny plastic polluting water across the globe.The new microrobots,each of which is no bigger than the tip of a pencil,are magnetic(磁性的) and shaped like four-pointed stars.When the sunlight shines on them,they can swim in a specific direction;when the sunlight disappears, they stop moving.Finding a piece of plastic,they hold onto it,produce chemical reactions and start to break it down.ⅠⅡⅢⅣThe project is led by chemist Martin Pumera,a researcher who also studies ways to build microrobots at the Czech University in Prague.About ten years ago,he noticed the microplastic was everywhere,from the bottom of the ocean to the ice on the top of mountains.It even turned up in drinking water,both bottled and tap water.Just think about how much plastic you encounter every day.It doesn’t easily degrade(降解),which is a big problem.Therefore,Pumera chose to focus on the problem of water pollution caused by microplastic.ⅠⅡⅢⅣThe researchers tested the microrobots on four types of plastic in the lab. After a week,all four began degrading,losing between 0.5 and 3 percent of their weight,which indicated they were breaking down.The robots also turned the plastic’s smooth surface into rough.Finally,they could be collected for reuse along with the plastic waste without causing new pollution.In fact,Pumera says they still have a long way to go.These microrobots are unlikely to succeed in degrading all types of plastics.They’ll also need a lot of testing to show that they’re safe in open waterways,such as at sea.But he thinks that these challenges can be overcome.Someday,the microrobots will play a big role in a worldwide cleanup effort.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一种新型微型机器人,它可以帮助清理污染水道的塑料碎片。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ9.What can be learned about the new microrobot?A.It is of a round shape.B.It is as small as a pencil.C.It is driven by sunlight.D.It uses physical reaction.答案 C 解析 细节理解题。由第二段中的“When the sunlight shines on them,they can swim in a specific direction;when the sunlight disappears,they stop moving.”可知,新型微型机器人是由阳光驱动的。故选C项。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ10.What inspired Pumera to design the microrobot?A.The ice on the mountains. B.Secrets of the ocean bottom.C.The lack of drinking water. D.The microplastic pollution.答案 D 解析 细节理解题。由第三段中的“About ten years ago,he noticed...easily degrade,which is a big problem.Therefore,Pumera chose to focus on the problem of water pollution caused by microplastic.”可知,微塑料不容易降解,无处不在。微塑料污染给环境带来了挑战,这是吸引Pumera从事该项研究的原因之一。由此可知,微塑料污染激发了Pumera设计微型机器人的灵感。故选D项。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ11.How does a microrobot deal with the plastic?A.Collecting it for reuse.B.Making its surface smooth.C.Absorbing it completely.D.Breaking it down to some extent.答案 D 解析 细节理解题。由第四段中的“The researchers tested the microrobots on four types of plastic in the lab.After a week,all four began degrading,losing between 0.5 and 3 percent of their weight,which indicated they were breaking down.”可知,仅一周时间,塑料的重量减轻,这说明微型机器人可以在某种程度上分解塑料。故选D项。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ12.What is Pumera’s attitude to their future research?A.Doubtful. B.Confident.C.Regretful. D.Critical.答案 B 解析 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“But he thinks that these challenges can be overcome.Someday,the microrobots will play a big role in a worldwide cleanup effort.”可知,Pumera认为,研究中的这些挑战是可以克服的,微型机器人在未来将发挥重要作用。由此可知,他对未来的研究很有信心。故选B项。ⅠⅡⅢⅣⅡ.七选五(2023浙江台州山海协作体高二上期中)As a parent,you want your kids to do their best in school.You already know plenty of sleep,healthy food and some school supplies are necessary.However, what else do children need to be successful without a professional homework helper? 1 Keep it ordered. 2 Hence,have your kids keep ahead of their homework with an organized system.For example,they could use a scheduling application like Asana or Trello to manage projects with arranged dates,or they might stick to an old-fashioned pen and a paper planner.See what works best for them and go from there. ⅠⅡⅢⅣBreak projects down.Many children get stressed out when they have big assignments due. 3 Often people get frightened by the difficulty of tasks without understanding that the large task is actually just made up of smaller ones.Another solution is to use a project proposal to help keep them on track with homework and projects.

Really small:a new mini robot with the purpose of helping clean up tiny plastic polluting water across the globe.The new microrobots,each of which is no bigger than the tip of a pencil,are magnetic(磁性的) and shaped like four-pointed stars.When the sunlight shines on them,they can swim in a specific direction;when the sunlight disappears, they stop moving.Finding a piece of plastic,they hold onto it,produce chemical reactions and start to break it down.ⅠⅡⅢⅣThe project is led by chemist Martin Pumera,a researcher who also studies ways to build microrobots at the Czech University in Prague.About ten years ago,he noticed the microplastic was everywhere,from the bottom of the ocean to the ice on the top of mountains.It even turned up in drinking water,both bottled and tap water.Just think about how much plastic you encounter every day.It doesn’t easily degrade(降解),which is a big problem.Therefore,Pumera chose to focus on the problem of water pollution caused by microplastic.ⅠⅡⅢⅣThe researchers tested the microrobots on four types of plastic in the lab. After a week,all four began degrading,losing between 0.5 and 3 percent of their weight,which indicated they were breaking down.The robots also turned the plastic’s smooth surface into rough.Finally,they could be collected for reuse along with the plastic waste without causing new pollution.In fact,Pumera says they still have a long way to go.These microrobots are unlikely to succeed in degrading all types of plastics.They’ll also need a lot of testing to show that they’re safe in open waterways,such as at sea.But he thinks that these challenges can be overcome.Someday,the microrobots will play a big role in a worldwide cleanup effort.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一种新型微型机器人,它可以帮助清理污染水道的塑料碎片。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ9.What can be learned about the new microrobot?A.It is of a round shape.B.It is as small as a pencil.C.It is driven by sunlight.D.It uses physical reaction.答案 C 解析 细节理解题。由第二段中的“When the sunlight shines on them,they can swim in a specific direction;when the sunlight disappears,they stop moving.”可知,新型微型机器人是由阳光驱动的。故选C项。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ10.What inspired Pumera to design the microrobot?A.The ice on the mountains.
