apologizing.Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged roughly，said unkind things，and pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend.Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and truly that you were sorry.A bit frightening，isn’t it？Frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed，some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed；and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged (承认) and regret is expressed.I remember a doctor friend，Clarence Lieb，telling me about a manwho came to him with a variety of signs：headaches，insomnia and stomach trouble.No physical cause could be found.Finally Dr.Lieb said to the man，“Unless you tell me what’s worrying you，I can’t help you.”After some hesitation，the man confessed that，as executor (执行者) of his father’s will，he had been cheating his brother，who lived abroad，of his inheritance (遗产)．Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking forgiveness and enclosing a cheque as the first step in restoring their good relation.He then went with him to the mailbox in the corridor (走廊)．As the letter disappeared，the man burst into tears.“Thank you.”he said，“I think I’m cured.”A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it stronger.If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you，someone you have wronged，or judged too roughly，or just neglected，please do something about it right now.1．When we have done something wrong，we should________.A．look honest and think over the fault carefullyB．admit the fault and express the regretC．escape from being disturbedD．forgive ourselves and forget it2．What will happen if we have done something wrong?A．Our logic of thinking will be disturbed.B．We shall feel sad.C．Our moral balance will be disturbed.D．We shall apologize at once.3．What exactly was the patient’s trouble?A．Some unknown physical weakness.B．Headaches，insomnia and stomach.C．The losing of a friend.D．Something wrong with his conscience.4．The patient was cured by________.A．asking his brother to forgive himB．enclosing a chequeC．writing a letterD．mailing a letter(2011·区第一学期期末)Employment practices often reflect the needs of employers several decades ago.Times have changed.And so too has the Canadian workforce.Yet many employment practices have not kept pace with this change.Forexample，some work environments and washrooms designed for ablebodied workers seldom accommodate people who use a wheelchair.Modernizing these practices is what employment equality is about.For example，making sure work benches and washrooms are adapted for disabled people entering the workplace，paving the way for workers who become disabled on the job.By doing so，any given group of people formerly discriminated against—now has access to better employment opportunities.The objective，of course，is to make the workplace reflect Canadian society.However，this does not necessarily mean setting and enforcing quotas (配额)．Rather，it means identifying the barriers to employment and designing measures，with achievable goals and clear timetables，to remove them.For example，according to the Canadian Union of Public Employees—Canada’s largest union，it would be unrealistic in the short term to insist that because half of the working age population is women，half of the employees of an engineering firm should be women.At this moment，there would not be enough qualified female engineers.A reasonable numerical goal would be based on the number of women who actually are engineers (8%) and those who are studying to become engineers (25%)．A short term goal of 13% would be appropriate without running the risk of hiring unqualified people.Equally important is to ensure people who have been disadvantaged the chance to become qualified for new opportunities.If aboriginal people (土著居民)，for example，can’t qualify for certain jobs because they haven’t had access to appropriate educational opportunities，then an employment equality program would have to address that problem with training programs.Employment laws in this country cannot be considered displeasing if they guarantee all Canadians fair and equal access to the workforce.5．The passage is mainly about how to________.A．modernize equipment for the disabled at workB．achieve equality of employment opportunitiesC．protect women’s rights in employmentD．complete a job training program6．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to________.A．barriers B．measuresC．goals D．timetables7．The example of women shows that________.A．only a small percentage of women engineers will get promoted B．13% of the working age women should be hired as engineersC．policy makers should adopt a practical and flexible approach D．the quota of women for employment should be raised8．The underlined word “address” in Paragraph 6 probably means________.A．put forward B．run intoC．find out D．deal with。

高考英语一轮复习课时作业详答15：Unit 5《Canada—“The True North”》(新人教版必修3通用)

课时作业(十五)Ⅰ.1.A考查交际用语。

从答语的第二句“玛丽对比赛根本不感兴趣”可知，答话者认为第一个人说的玛丽获奖是在开玩笑，故选A。

2．A考查动词辨析。

manage 表示“勉强做某事”，manage a smile “强作欢笑”。

wear“穿，戴”；perform “表演；执行”；control“控制”。

3．A leave sb. a(n)…impression “给某人留下……印象”；what impresses sb. most “给某人印象最深的是……”。

4．A考查非谓语动词。

measure是连系动词，意为“(某物的)尺寸、长度、数量等为……”；作“测量”讲为及物动词，无被动语态，要用主动表被动，所以此处用现在分词短语作后置定语，相当于which measures。

5．C考查名词性从句。

根据语境“战争爆发”是对“消息”的解释，因此是同位语从句，用that引导。

6．D考查冠词的用法。

nature “自然”为抽象名词，不加冠词。

make an impression upon/on sb为固定用法，意为“给某人留下印象”。

7．C考查介词的用法。

“by＋数量词”常表示增加、减少、错过等的幅度，这里指只差一英寸。

8．B考查短语辨析。

settle down “(使某人)平静下来，安静下来”，符合语境。

put down “放下，写下，镇压”；break down “(机器)损坏，破坏”；take down “记下，记录”。

句意为：有那么多车辆的噪音，我无法静下心做研究工作。

9．D surrounded by…“被……环绕着”。

句意为：这座城市四面环山环水，非常美丽，因此他们决定再多呆一周。

10．D考查介词辨析。

within the reach of…“能得到/到达/拿到等”。

句意为：这种新型的汽车太贵了，只有高收入的人才能买得起。

beyond/out of the reach of…“得不到/够不到/拿不到等”，不符合语境。

6．B 前文告诉我们，作者一直要做最好的学生I am a traightA tudent and have been m whoe ife，一直在打败最好的学生need to beat the toied，…and agreed可以看出，作者在整个过程中是很有礼貌的。

attentive注意地，专心地；bitter悲痛地；ie，agree还有空格，四个选项中只有选nod“点头”，表示作者同意他同学的看法。

10．A 语境为：作者希望他同学安静下来quiet，他能好好学习。

11．A 上一段对方对自己在这次谈话中的表现的评价，从good，以及o ea to ta to来看，很显然是“表扬”，所以选e责备； rudene粗鲁；fatter奉承。

D项有很大的干扰性，但是下文的But inide, I new it wan't true告诉我们，对方是发自内心的赞扬。

12．C 语境为：作者的同学努力在和他谈话，而他却只是在应付，期待对方安静下来，试图不参与aer than 。

For example, someone who likes to spend a lot of time sitting or lying down while watching television is sometimes called a couch potato. A couch is a piece of furniture that people sit on while watching television.Robert Armstrong, an artist from California, developed the term “couch potato” in 1976. Several years later, he listed the term as a trademark with the UnitedStates government. Mr Armstrong also helped write a funny book about life as a fulltime television watcher. It is called the OfficialCouchPotatoHandbook.Couch potatoes enjoy watching television just as mouse potatoes enjoy working on computers. A computer mouse is the device that moves the pointer, or cursor on a computer screen. The description of mouse potato became popular in 1993. American writer Alice Kahn is said to have invented the term to describe young people who spend a lot of time using computers.Too much time inside the house using a computer or watching television can cause someone to get cabin fever. A cabin is a simple house usually built far away from the city. People go to a cabin to relax and enjoy quiet time.Cabin fever is not really a disease. However, people can experience boredom and restlessness if they spend too much time inside their homes. This is especially true during the winter when it is too cold or snowy to do things outside. Often children get cabin fever if they cannot go outside to play. So do their parents. This happens when there is so much snow that schools and even offices and stores are closed.Some people enjoy spending a lot of time in their homes to make them nice places to live. This is called nesting or cocooning. Birds build nests out of sticks to hold their eggs and baby birds. Some insects build cocoons around themselves for protection while they grow and change. Nests and cocoons provide security for wildlife. So people like the idea of nests and cocoons, too.The terms cocooning and nesting became popular more than twenty years ago. They describe people buying their first homes and filling them with many things. These people then had children.Now these c hildren are grownup and have left the nest. They are in college. Or they are married and starting families of their own far away.Now these parents are living alone without c hildren in their empty nests. They have become empty nesters.16．Which of the following was first used?A．Couch potato. B．Cocooning.C．Mouse potato. D．Nesting.17．________refers to a person who spends much time on computer.A．A couch potato B．A nesterC．A mouse potato D．An empty nester18．Why can most people easily get cabin fever in winter?A．Because they are addicted to computer games.B．Because they would like to play outside.C．Becaus e it is so cold that they couldn't go outside.D．Because they are too busy at work or school.19．What's the passage mainly about?A．How to get rid of cabin fever.B．How people become neste rs or empty nesters.C．How to spend your leisure time.D．The origin of some words.BGerman researchers said older people tend to be portrayed negatively in society. Although they are often described as wise, they are also shown as being slow and forgetful.“Living in a youth centered culture, they may appreciate a boost in selfesteem.That's why they prefer the negative stories about younger people, who are seen as having a higher status in our society，” said Dr Silvia KnoblochWesterwick，of Ohio State University.KnoblochWesterwick and her coauthor Matthi as Hastall, of Zeppelin University in Friedrichshafen, Germany, studied 276 German adults, including 178 aged 18 to 30 and 98 between 55 and 60. Their findings are published in the journal Communication.All the adults in the study were shown what they were led to believe was a test version of a new online news magazine.They were also given limited time to look over either a negative or a positive version of 10 preselected articles.Each story was also pa ired with a photograph depicting(描绘) someone of either the younger or the older age group.The researchers found that older people were more likely to choose to read negative articles about those younger than themselves. They also tended to show less interest in articles about older people, whether negative or positive.But younger people preferred to read positive articles about other young people.According to KnoblochWesterwick, older people's preference for negative news about their younger counterparts can be explained by their place in society.“Everybody likes a selfesteem boost. For young people, though, it's almost automatic. You th is considered important in society，” she said.After reading the articles, the participants completed a questionnaire designed to measure levels of selfesteem. Unlike their younger counterparts, the selfesteem of older people rose after they read a negative article about younger people.Althou gh the study was done in Germany, KnoblochWesterwick believes nationality and the national characteristics are not important.20．What do older people think of themselves, according to the text?A．They are behind the times.B．They are always forgetful.C．Their selfesteem is challenged in a youth centered culture.D．They should have a higher status than the young in society.21．What can be learned from the study?A．The old enjoy reading negative stories about the young.B．The old are interested in negative articles about other old people.C．The old are likely to read positive articles about other old people.D．The young like reading negative articles about other young people.22．According to KnoblochWesterwick, if a similar study were done in other countries, ________．A．the result would be unreasonableB．the result would be quite differentC．the findings would be completely the sameD．much the same result would be foundⅢ.书面表达是一个致力于消除家长和孩子之间沟通障碍的网站。

For example, someone who likes to spend a lot of time sitting or lying down while watching television is sometimes called a couch potato. A couch is a piece of furniture that people sit on while watching television.Robert Armstrong, an artist from California, developed the term “couch potato” in 1976. Several years later, he listed the term as a trademark with the United States government. Mr Armstrong also helped write a funny book about life as a f ulltime television watcher. It is called the Official Couch Potato Handbook.Couch potatoes enjoy watching television just as mouse potatoes enjoy working on computers. A computer mouse is the device that moves the pointer, or cursor on a computer screen. The description of mouse potato became popular in 1993. American writer Alice Kahn is said to have invented the term to describe young people who spend a lot of time using computers.Too much time inside the house using a computer or watching television can causesomeone to get cabin fever. A cabin is a simple house usually built far away from the city. People go to a cabin to relax and enjoy quiet time.Cabin fever is not really a disease. However, people can experience boredom and restlessness if they spend too much time inside their homes. This is especially true during the winter when it is too cold or snowy to do things outside. Often children get cabin fever if they cannot go outside to play. So do their parents. This happens when there is so much snow that schools and even offices and stores are closed.Some people enjoy spending a lot of time in their homes to make them nice places to live. This is called nesting or cocooning. Birds build nests out of sticks to hold their eggs and baby birds. Some insects build cocoons around themselves for protection while they grow and change. Nests and cocoons provide security for wildlife. So people like the idea of nests and cocoons, too.The terms cocooning and nesting became popular more than twenty years ago. They describe people buying their first homes and filling them with many things. These people then had children.Now these children are grownup and have left the nest. They are in college. Or they are married and starting families of their own far away.Now these parents are living alone without children in their empty nests. They have become empty nesters.16．Which of the following was first used?A．Couch potato. B．Cocooning.C．Mouse potato. D．Nesting.17．________refers to a person who spends much time on computer.A．A couch potato B．A nesterC．A mouse potato D．An empty nester18．Why can most people easily get cabin fever in winter?A．Because they are addicted to computer games.B．Because they would like to play outside.C．Because it is so cold that they couldn't go outside.D．Because they are too busy at work or school.19．What's the passage mainly about?A．How to get rid of cabin fever.B．How people become nesters or empty nesters.C．How to spend your leisure time.D．The origin of some words.BGerman researchers said older people tend to be portrayed negatively in society. Although they are often described as wise, they are also shown as being slow and forgetful.“Living in a youth centered culture, they may appreciate a boost in selfesteem.That's why they prefer the negative stories about younger people, who are seen as having a higher status in our society，” said Dr Silvia KnoblochWesterwick，of Ohio State University.KnoblochWesterwick and her coauthor Matthias Hastall, of Zeppelin University in Friedrichshafen, Germany, studied 276 German adults, including 178 aged 18 to 30and 98 between 55 and 60. Their findings are published in the journal Communication.All the adults in the study were shown what they were led to believe was a test version of a new online news magazine.They were also given limited time to look over either a negative or a positive version of 10 preselected articles.Each story was also paired with a photograph depicting(描绘) someone of either the younger or the older age group.The researchers found that older people were more likely to choose to read negative articles about those younger than themselves. They also tended to show less interest in articles about older people, whether negative or positive.But younger people preferred to read positive articles about other young people.According to KnoblochWesterwick, older people's preference for negative news about their younger counterparts can be explained by their place in society.“Everybody likes a selfesteem boost. For young people, though, it's almost automatic. Youth is considered important in society，” she said.After reading the articles, the participants completed a questionnaire designed to measure levels of selfesteem. Unlike their younger counterparts, the selfesteem of older people rose after they read a negative article about younger people.Although the study was done in Germany, KnoblochWesterwick believes nationality and the national characteristics are not important.20．What do older people think of themselves, according to the text?A．They are behind the times.B．They are always forgetful.C．Their se lfesteem is challenged in a youth centered culture.D．They should have a higher status than the young in society.21．What can be learned from the study?A．The old enjoy reading negative stories about the young.B．The old are interested in negative articles about other old people.C．The old are likely to read positive articles about other old people.D．The young like reading negative articles about other young people.22．According to KnoblochWesterwick, if a similar study were done in o ther countries, ________．A．the result would be unreasonableB．the result would be quite differentC．the findings would be completely the sameD．much the same result would be foundⅢ.开放作文请根据下面提示，写一篇短文。

We had a wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In spring every year Perth has the wild flowers' exhibition. After visiting Perth, we spent the day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.Australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos.

Fearproducing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child's play.Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment (蚕食)？” asks Richard Louv, autho r of Last Child in the Woods.Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (认知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters (培养) leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The threeyearold turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.Kids are not to blame. They are overprotected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite (仪式) of passage.Everyone, from developers to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement (增强) love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.21．The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that ________.A．kids are missing the sense of wonder outdoorsB．parks are in danger of being gradually encroachedC．Richard Louv is the author of Last Child in the WoodsD．children are expected to develop into protectors of nature22．According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will ________．A．keep a high sense of wonderB．be overprotected by their parentsC．be less healthy both physically and mentallyD．change wild places and creatures for the better23．According to the author, children's breaking an arm is ________．A．the fault on the part of their parentsB．the natural experience in their growing upC．the result of their own carelessness in playD．the effect of their repetitive stress from computers24．What does “sea of technology” mean in the first paragraph?A．The technology of TV and computer games.B．The technology of food.C．The technology of sea food.D．The technology of catching animals in the sea.25．In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to ________.A．blame children for getting lost in computer gamesB．encourage children to protect parks from encroachmentC．show his concern about children's lack of experience in natureD．inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around参考答案课时作业(十五)Ⅰ.来自教师家庭的“我”，一直以来在学习上出类拔萃，遥遥领先，并引以为豪，专心学习、打败所有的对手一直是“我”的目标，考试前的几分钟“我”都在拼命地学习，和坐在后排的那位女孩的一次谈话经历使“我”的心态有所改变。

高三英语一轮复习课时作业15：Unit 5 Canada—＂The True North＂

Unit 5Canada—“The True North”I. 阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

India is a country with 1.2 billion people, of which 30% still live in poverty, and 56% of the workforce is engaged in agriculture even though it contributes only 18% of GDP. Reforming India’s economy will therefore require more than just the relaxation of business regulations; it will require a massive reallocation(重新分配) of labor and the retraining of farm workers for other professions through better education and vocational training. In addition, only 29% of women in India are in the workforce even though they make up 50% of the population, which represents the severe underuse of a valuable resource, and a barrier to progress.The government with Modi as the Premier will have to create a basic construction to correct the problem of these inefficiencies. It is also important to note that the reorganization of Ind ia’s labor force will take years, if not decades, to produce results for the economy. All this can push returns down for investors in the short and medium term.Another major challenge for India’s free market experiment will be the foundation of BJP (人民党), which has its roots in religion. Free market economics can’t work properly without a truly free society, and the conservative social and political philosophies (思想体系) of Modi’s party could prevent that from happening.The rural base of the BJP also creates another risk for the agenda of the government. While India’s poor people will certainly benefit from economic reform, they are also the easiest to be exploited by some corporations and may require state-sponsored welfare for existence. This creates an obvious contradiction for the government and a real free market in India. To lift the country economically, capitalist principles must be accepted completely, but without state control, India’s poor and middle class may be left behind.1. To change India’s e conomy more effectively, ___________.A. business regulations should be restrictedB. farm workers deserve retraining and reallocatingC. more people should be engaged in agricultureD. women should make up 50% of the workforce2. Free market economics can function well with ____________.A. traditional social structuresB. a society full of libertyC. conservative political philosophiesD. the basic policy of BJP3. Under the control of the government, _____________ will benefit from the economic reform.A. both commerce and industryB. both state factories and local firmsC. both middle-class people and poor peopleD. both urban and rural areas4. T the author’s attitude towards India’s economic reform is _____________.A. favorableB. disapprovingC. optimisticD. doubtfulII.语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
