These sand dunes cover more than seventy-thousand hectares of desert.It is one of the largest sand dune fields in the United States. The bright white sand dunes are always changing,always moving, like waves on the ocean.Driven by strong winds, the sand moves and covers everything in its path. It is like a huge sea of sand.You may wonder how anything can live in this extreme environment of a white sand desert. There is not much rain.The heat in summer is intense. The sand lacks nutrients.Plants and animals struggle to survive. A few kinds of plants grow quickly to survive burial by the moving sand dunes. Several kinds of small animals have become white in color in order to hide in the sand.More than five hundred thousand people visit White Sands each year. They climb on the dunes and observe the moving sea of sand.White Sands is about twenty four kilometers southeast of the city of Alamogordo, New Mexico. In the visitor center at the entrance of the park, you can find out special activities and guided walks. You can drive about thirteen kilometers into the center of the dunes. It is like driving on a lonely white planet.Along the way there is information that tells about the natural history of White Sands.You can also explore the dunes on foot, seeing some unusual and beautiful plants and flowers. Signs along the trail tell about the plants growing in the sand. You can even camp there overnight. But you must be careful. It is easy to get lost in the waves of moving sand especially during sandstorms. There is no water to drink. The temperature can rise to thirty eight degrees Celsius in summer. There is no shelter from the sun's rays.White Sands is part of America's National Parks System, and it is just one of the unusual examples of America's natural and cultural treasures.16.Which of the following plays a major role in making for the extreme environment?A.Plants and animals.B.Strong winds.C.Intense heat and little rain.D.Many people.17.Walking on dunes, people will ________.A.enjoy the beautiful sight of sand movingB.see many kinds of white plants and animalsC.find out some special activitiesD.get lost easily and quickly especially during storms18.What do we know about White Sands from this passage?A.It is one of the largest sand dune fields in the world.B.You can get to know its natural history while driving in it.C.The temperature here can rise to thirty-eight degrees Celsius any time.D.You are not allowed to camp here overnight.19.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To attract tourists to White Sands.B.To describe the history of White Sands.C.To introduce guided tours to White Sands.D.To explain the power of nature at White Sands.Ⅲ.阅读表达阅读下面短文并回答问题。

Critics call her one of the greatest writers of our time.Lucille Clifton was born Thelma Lucille Sayles in Depew, New York in 1936. She was named Thelma after her mother. Lucille was the name of one of her father's ancestors. When the younger one got older she chose to call herself Lucille.Lucille Clifton began writing poetry when she was about ten years old. She had developed an interest in poetry because of her mother, Thelma Sayles. Her mother was also a poet although her poems were never published. As a child Lucille would sit on her mother's lap and listen as she read poetry. She learned to love words and the power of words. That stayed with her as she grew.While her mother taught her to love poetry, her father gave her the gift of storytelling. He would tell Lucille interesting stories about her ancestors,especially the one named Lucille who was his grandmother. Samuel Clifton said she was the first black woman to be legally hanged in the state of Virginia. Lucille Clifton wrote about it in her poem called “Lucy”.She often talked about her love for words. She loved the sound of words and the way the words felt in her mouth. She loved finding interesting ways to use wordsto express what was happening in the world.Unlike her mother, Lucille Clifton's poetry was anything but traditional. Her poems do not rhyme or follow a special kind of pattern. They do not use fancy words. They do not deal in make-believe. Her poetry is known for being simple, truthful and direct. It is written the way people speak, in a casual, relaxed language. There is very little punctuation(标点) and even less capitalization. Many of the poems are uncomfortably honest. Lucille Clifton often said that she tried to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. Over the years, she seems to have perfected that art.16.Which of the following may be the reason why Lucille Clifton chose to call herself Lucille instead of Thelma?A.To show her love to her mother.B.To show her love to her beloved teacher.C.To show respect to her great-grandmother.D.To show her respect to a great poet.17.From the passage, we know that Lucille Clifton is ________.A.funny B.creativeC.selfish D.beautiful18.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Lucille Clifton's parents affected her a lot.B.Lucille Clifton's poetry was very traditional.C.Thelma Sayles published many poems.D.Lucille Clifton's poetry was very formal.19.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.Lucille Clifton's great works.B.Lucille Clifton's poem background.C.Lucille Clifton's poem style.D.Lucille Clifton's poem words.20.The underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to ________.A.Samuel CliftonB.Samuel Clifton's experienceC.Samuel Clifton's grandmotherD.Lucille's great grandmother's storyⅢ.阅读表达阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到相应的横线上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

第一部分选修六Unit 4Ⅰ.阅读理解皖南八校第二次联考)(2014·We sometimes think global warming or climate change is a problem very far away from our lives, and that only the government needs to worry about it. But it's hardly possible to completelystay out of it—scientists are now 95 percent sure that humans have been the “dominant cause”of global warming trends since the 1950s.One of the conclusions of a report released on Sept 27 by the United Nations says that human activities have caused global temperatures to rise by 0.89℃between 1901 and 2012. That might not seem like a lot, but the truth is that a major part of that heat has been absorbed into the oceans, which is not surprising given that they cover two thirds of Earth's surface. Also, water has a much greater capacity (容量) to absorb heat than the air does, according to The Economist.While many greenhouse gases occur naturally and are needed to keep the Earth warm enough to support life, humans' use of fossil fuels is the main source of excess (多余的) greenhouse gases. According to CNN, by driving cars, using electricity produced by burning coal and oil or heating our homes with coal or natural gas, we release a large amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.Your body can barely feel a difference of 0.89℃,but the Earth's ecosystems are so sensitive that even small changes can disturb them. It often starts with the smallest creatures at the bottom of the food chain, eventually affecting bigger animals, many of which could end up becoming extinct.Global warming is also linked to an increase in extreme weather. A larger amount of carbon dioxide traps more energy inside the atmosphere. This changes the patterns of storms and rainfall in many regions and can lead to droughts and floods. Worse still, melting sea ice in warmer oceans is causing sea levels to rise at a speed of more than three millimeters per year, according to The Guardian, which also increases the risk of flooding.“The report should serve as another wake-up call that our activities today have a profound impact on society, not only for us, but for many generations to come,” French Michel Jarraud, secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organization, said at a news conference.文章大意:全球变暖不是只有政府才关心的事,它与我们每个人都息息相关。

They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test­takers.Sian Beilock says, “They start worrying about the consequences. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when they worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources. I talk about them as their cognitive(认知的)horsepower that they could otherwise be using to focus on the exam.”Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test­takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test. The researchers tested the idea on a group of 20 anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test. The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second test would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort.Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12 percent worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of five percent.Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test.Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B-for those who did not.The research shows that for students who are highly test­anxious, who'd done the writing intervention(排解), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. Those students most likely to worry were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these testing situations.But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.11.The purpose of the passage is ________.A. to build the confidence of the highly anxious test­takersB. to introduce a research about the anxious test­takersC. to improve the performance of the test­takersD. to tell something about the highly anxious test­takers12.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to________.A. attention and memory resourcesB. worries about the consequencesC. concerns about the examD. cognitive horsepower13.According to the research, the solution to the test anxiety is to________.A. sit quietly before the examB. prepare well before the testC. set their mind on happy memoriesD. write about their feelings before the test14.The result of the research suggests that ________.A. proper amount of burden may turn out to be a good thingB. avoiding facing the problem may contribute to relaxationC. facing the fears bravely may help one to achieve moreD. taking no action before difficulty may result in successBSeen from space the Earth is covered in a blue mantle. It is a planet on which the continents are dwarfed(相形见绌)by the oceans surrounding them and the vastness of the marine area.An astonishing 80 percent of all the life on Earth is to be found hidden beneath the waves and this vast global ocean pulses around our world driving the natural forces which keep life on our planet.The oceans provide necessary sources of protein, energy, minerals and other products of use the world over and the rolling of the sea across the planet creates over half our oxygen, drives weather systems and natural flows of energy and nutrients around the world, transports water masses many times greater than all the rivers on land combined and keeps the Earth habitable.Without the global ocean there would be no life on Earth.It is seriously worrying, then, that we are damaging the oceans on a scale that is unimaginable to most people.We now know that human activity can have serious influences on the vital forces governing our planet. We have fundamentally changed our global climate and are just beginning to understand the consequences of that. As yet largely unseen,but just as serious,are the influences we are having on the oceans. A healthy ocean has diverse ecosystems and strong and healthy habitats. The actual state of our oceans is a far cry from this natural level.A large quantity of human pressures are being exerted both directly and indirectly on ocean ecosystems the world over. Consequently ecosystems are collapsing as marine species are driven towards extinction and ocean habitats are destroyed. With the decrease and removement of their diversity, ocean ecosystems are losing their natural recovery.15.The 2nd and the 3rd paragraphs are given mainly to describe________.A.what the oceans look likeB.what the oceans are made up ofC.what lives in the oceansD.what functions the oceans have16.The oceans provide all the following except ________.A. various marine creaturesB. rich living resourcesC. all natural forcesD. comfortable habitats for man17.Man has not yet realized that ________.A.he has done harm to the oceansB.he has done harm to the planetC.he has benefited from the oceansD.he has benefited from the planet18.The best title for this passage should be ________.A. Protecting our planetB. Defending our oceansC. Making good use of our oceansD. A glimpse of the oceansⅢ.完成句子19.Oil ____________________________, they had to take a taxi home. (run) 汽油已没了,他们只好打车回家。

限时规范练27(选修6Unit2)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、了解诗歌文化的能力意识一、阅读理解AElizabeth Bishop is considered one of the best American poets of the 20th century.She was born in Worcester,Massachusetts in 1911.Her dad died when she was just a baby and her mom never recovered from the loss;she went to live with her grandparents in Nova Scotia,Canada when she was five.Eventually Bishop attended Vassar College,where she began to write poetry.At Vassar she discovered Marianne Moore’s poetry and met “Ms.Moore” and began their life-long friendship.She later met poet Robert Lowell.She wrote tons and tons of letters to both ofthem,which is good for us because we would otherwise know very little of her personal life.Bishop’s poetry is sometimes considered objective and cold because it shows almost nothing about the poet or her life.Bishop published her first book of poetry in 1946 and wrote until her death in 1979.She would spend years working on a single poem.Her poems are not the result of hasty scribbling (匆忙乱写) onpaper while eating breakfast.Over a lifetime of writing,she only published about 275 pages of poetry,and about 40 of those are translations.She would look through drafts of poems again and again and improve them until they were as close to perfect as she could get them.Reading Elizabeth Bishop is like being transported to the very place,the very moment she’s writing about.She leads us to a microscope so we can see every smallest part of the scene.It seems she’s always asking us to notice more,and more until the poem is so clear in our minds that it’s almost painful — like a light that’s too bright.It might take your eyes a while to get used to it,but once they do,you’ll like what you see.1.What do we know about Bishop’s early life?A.She started to write poems at five.B.She was always encouraged by her parents.C.She spent her childhood mainly in Worcester.D.She was mainly brought up by her grandparents.2.What can we say about Bishop’s poetic creation?A.She liked to write in the morning.B.She could write poems at high speed.C.She tried her best to achieve perfection.D.She published hundreds of books of poetry.3.Which can be used to describe the style of Bishop’s poems?A.Exact.rmal.C.Humorous.D.Enthusiastic.BHe has jumped off tall buildings,been lit on fire,and fought the deadliest people on the planet.And you know what? For Greg Rementer,it’s all in a day’s work.Rementer is part of a group of men and women who bring your favorite action scenes to life on film and television.He was hired to stand in for actors when a scene carries real risk or requires special skills.On the set of Captain America:Civil War,for example,Rementer stepped in for actor Sebastian Stan.Rementer had to jump 45 feet from one building onto another — after being thrown down a flight of stairs.Stunts (特技) have always been part of movies.But in the early days of Hollywood,actors generally did their own stunts.When actors didn’t do their own stunts,filmmakers would simply hire the first person they could find crazy enough to give it a go.Accidents that resulted in serious injuries were not uncommon.Today,most stunt performers know how to safely fall from great heights.Many have sports backgrounds.Bobby Holland Hanton,who performed in Avengers:Age of Ultron,was a gymnast.Katie Eischen,who worked in The Hunger Games:Catching Fire,did volleyball.As for Rementer,he has been studying martial arts (武术) since primary school.Rementer loves his job,but it’s hardly glamorous.Days on set can be long and hard;it’s common to work 14 hours at a time in uncomfortable locations.A stunt that lasts a few seconds can take hours to set up.Plus,stunt performers must train continuously to stay in shape.Being a stunt performer today is much safer than it used to be,thanks to better equipment and strict rules in Hollywood.But injuries are still part of the job.After all,if stunts were completely safe,stunt performers wouldn’t be needed.“I’ve been fortunate,”Rementer says,explaining that he hasn’t had any serious accidents.“I’ve had some broken arms,broken toes,and a lot of bruises.But when you’re doing things like riding wires into concrete walls,you’re going to feel it.You just have to be ready to get up and go again.”4.What was Rementer hired to do?A.Bring boring stories to life.B.Encourage actors to do sports.C.Perform dangerous actions for actors.D.Instruct Sebastian Stan in special skills.5.Why did the author mention some stunt performers in Paragraph 3?A.To introduce their stunts.B.To praise their great skills.C.To show they are highly trained.D.To stress the importance of sports backgrounds.6.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “glamorous” in Paragraph 4?A.Tiring.B.Attractive.C.Dangerous.D.Meaningful.7.What can we infer about Rementer from his words?A.He takes pleasure in risky jobs.B.He suffers misfortune every day.C.He has a strong sense of professionalism.D.He has a love-hate relationship with his job.二、七选五Being a superhero to othersEwan Drum has always liked superheroes.He likes how they help people.At age seven,he told his parents,“I want to dress up like a superhero and help the homeless.”1 Wearing his red superhero cape (斗篷),Ewan helped pass out 70 bag lunches to hungry people ina park in Detroit,Michigan.That’s how Super Ewan was born.2 People donated money and supplies,and Ewan took them to those in need.When someone donated jugs of water,Ewan and his family drove their car to get even more.They took the water to Flint,Michigan,a city that had unsafe drinking water.Another time,a businessman donated six turkeys for Thanksgiving.3“In the end,” he says,“we gave 64 turkey dinners to families all around Detroit.”Ewan has a motto:Everyone can be a superhero to someone.At an event called the Hero Round Table,Ewan told the audience,“It’s not hard to help people.You can keep some socks and food in your car to help people in need.You can help a neighbor with doing the garden. 4”It’s been several years since Super Ewan started his task.Every month,he still visits the same park to hand out clothes,food,and supplies to people who are hungry or homeless — his Super Friends. 5“No matter what,” Ewan says,“I will always keep helping people.”A.Word spread about Ewan’s act of kindness.B.This superhero says he’ll never take off his cape.C.Ewan says he wants more adults to act like superheroes.D.Every little thing helps and can make someone feel happy.E.A few months later,Ewan’s family planned a day of giving.F.Several days later,his parents drove to Flint and helped him raise a lot of money.G.With his parents’ help,Ewan asked for more turkeys through the Internet,plus side dishes.三、语法填空Thomas Stearns Eliot OM was thought 1. (be) one of the most influential poets of the 20th century.He also wrote plays and some important essays about literature.He was born in St.Louis,Missouri,and went to college in Harvard.2. (spend) most of his adult life in London,England,he 3. (become) a British citizen in 1928.One of his books 4. (write) for children is called Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats.The 5.

They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test­takers.Sian Beilock says, “They start worrying about the consequences. They might even start worryin g about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when they worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources. I talk about them as their cognitive(认知的)horsepower that they coul d otherwise be using to focus on the exam.”Professor Beilock and another research er, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test­takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test. The researchers tested the idea on a group of 20 anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test. The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second test would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort.Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12 percent worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of five percent.Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test.Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an averagegrade of B+, compared to a B-for those who did not.The research shows that for students who are highly test­anxious, who'd donethe writing intervention(排解), all of a sudden there was no relationship betweentest anxiety and performance. Those students most likely to worry were performingjust as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these testing situations.But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediatelybefore an exam or presentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselvesat home or in the library and still improve their performance.16.The purpose of the passage is ________.A. to build the confidence of the highly anxious test­takersB. to introduce a research about the anxious test­takersC. to improve the performance of the test­takersD. to tell something about the highly anxious test­takers17.The underlined word “them” in Pa ragraph 2 refers to________.A. attention and memory resourcesB. worries about the consequencesC. concerns about the examD. cognitive horsepower18.According to the research, the solution to the test anxiety is to________.A. sit quietly before the examB. prepare well before the testC. set their mind on happy memoriesD. write about their feelings before the test19.The result of the research suggests that ________.A. proper amount of burden may turn out to be a good thingB. avoiding facing the problem may contribute to relaxationC. facing the fears bravely may help one to achieve moreD. taking no action before difficulty may result in successⅢ.阅读填空Peer pressurePeer pressure is just part of the challenges in life.20.________ If you needfurther guidance, this article might help you.It provides three effective tips todeal with it:Be with friends who respect your beliefs.You can go out with people who accept and respect the things you believe in andthose who you know you can share your interests with.It is all right to be choosywith friends because you just want what is best for them and you. 21.________ You are just exhibiting what you know is right and good for both sides.Your friendswill understand you for that.They can drag you away from discrimination and you canbe confident that they will not leave you for your st and in life.22.________When you are driven by so many peer pressures, you can always stay a way from them.

Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers (鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man's life and two to a woman's. The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn't smoke. There's aflip_side,_however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse's death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生理的) mechanisms. For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and lesschance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100.The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says, “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”11.William Farr's study and other studies show that ________.A.social life provides an effective cure for illnessB.being sociable helps improve one's quality of lifeC.women benefit more than men from marriageD.marriage contributes a great deal to longevity12.Linda Waite's studies support the idea that ________.A.older men should quit smoking to stay healthyB.marriage can help make up for ill healthC.the married are happier than the unmarriedD.unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life13.It can be inferred from the context that the underlined part “flip side”(Para. 2) refers to ________.A.the disadvantages of being marriedB.the emotional problems arising from marriageC.the responsibility of taking care of one's familyD.the consequence of a broken marriage14.What does the author say about social networks?A.They have effects similar to those of a marriage.B.They help develop people's community spirit.C.They provide timely support for those in need.D.They help relieve people of their life's burdens.15.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.It's important that we develop a social network when young.B.To stay healthy, one should have a proper social network.C.Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.D.We should share our social networks with each other.BDu Fu(712—770) was one of the greatest poets in the Tang Dynasty. His poetry first came to be recognized at the Tang Dynasty. Readers of many different periods have considered Du Fu to be the greatest poet of the Chinese tradition. Such general agreement can partially be explained by the immense variety of his works, which hold up quite well to different tastes and historical changes in fashion. Like Shakespeare in English tradition, Du Fu's poetry came to be so deeply bound up with the constitution of literary value that generation after generation of poets and critics rediscovered themselves and their interests in some aspect of the poet.Chinese critics from the Song Dynasty referred to Du Fu as the “poet­historian”. Both before and after the An Lushan Revolt, Du Fu witnessed a typical political and social situation: the common people still lived in poverty while the emperor and his top officials enjoyed a foolishly luxurious life. He composed many poems such as Song of the War­chariots, Three Officials,and Three Departures. His poems expressed his dissatisfaction with the government and his great pity for the common people.Du Fu used his poems to comment on current events and historical images. Du Fu became the historian by creating his responses to particular situations.Du Fu was talented. When he was young, he wanted to get a good job in the government. Unfortunately Du Fu was refused several times. It was in his fifties that he began to serve as a minor official in Chang'an (Xi'an). Gongbu was his official title and probably he was in charge of the local industry.Du Fu was not a skilled survivor in government politics. He was dismissed in the form of a transfer to the post of personnel administrator in Huazhou and so left Chang'an. Du Fu soon gave up this minor post in disgust and set off with his family to Qinzhou in the northwest. After a short stay he moved on again and in 759 he arrived in Chengdu. He set up a modest cottage with some money he borrowed from his friend who served as a local governor. In the cottage he had a simple and peaceful life for three years, writing about 240 poems. Mostly inspired by the cottage, the stream nearby and the scenery in Chengdu, these poems give the impression that he was happier in Chengdu than any other time in his life. The poems of this period sound relaxed and happy.Du Fu left Chengdu after 762 and wandered in the southern provinces and eventually died of illness in 770. After his death, the people of Chengdu built a shrine on the site of his garden to honor him, which is known as part of Du Fu Thatched Cottage now.16.Why does the author compare Du Fu to Shakespeare?A.Du Fu's poetry was written following Shakespeare's style.B.Du Fu's poetry referred to the social change critically.C.Du Fu and Shakespeare were best friends.D.Shakespeare read a lot of Du Fu's poems.17.Du Fu ________ when he was young.A.didn't want to be an officialB.was worried about the educationC.wasn't liked by the emperorD.was not offered an opportunity to work in the government18.What did Du Fu describe in most of his poems?A.The luxurious life that the emperor and his top officials enjoyed.B.His happy life.C.His responses to particular situations.D.His dissatisfaction with the government and his great pity for the common people.19.What did people do after Du Fu died according to the passage?A.They built a shrine to honor him.B.They rebuilt the cottage he had lived into a high building.C.They destroyed his cottage.D.They made a carved statue of him.20.What's the best title of the passage?A.Du Fu—the most important politician in the Tang DynastyB.The origin of Du Fu Thatched CottageC.Du Fu—one of the greatest poets in the Tang DynastyD.Du Fu was not a skilled survivor in government politicsⅢ.读写任务阅读下面的短文,然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Lucille was the name of one of her father's ancestors. When the younger one got older she chose to call herself Lucille.Lucille Clifton began writing poetry when she was about ten years old. She had developed an interest in poetry because of her mother, Thelma Sayles. Her mother was also a poet although her poems were never published. As a child Lucille would sit on her mother's lap and listen as she read poetry. She learned to love words and the power of words. That stayed with her as she grew.While her mother taught her to love poetry, her father gave her the gift of storytelling.

Jones, The Known WorldSet in 1855 on the plantation of Henry Townsend--born a slave, now a slave-owner—The Known World is a success, leading readers into a complex moral time without making simple judgments.

They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers.Sian Beilock says, “They start worrying about the consequences. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when they worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources. I talk about them as their cognitive(认知的)horsepower that they could otherwise be using to focus on the exam.”Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test. The researchers tested the idea on a group of 20 anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test. The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second test would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort.Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12 percent worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of five percent.Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test.Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+,compared to a B-for those who did not.The research shows that for students who are highly test­anxious, who'd done the writing intervention(排解), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. Those students most likely to worry were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these testing situations.But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.16.The purpose of the passage is ________.A. to build the confidence of the highly anxious test­takersB. to introduce a research about the anxious test­takersC. to improve the performance of the test­takersD. to tell something about the highly anxious test­takers17.The underlined word “them”in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.A. attention and memory resourcesB. worries about the consequencesC. concerns about the examD. cognitive horsepower18.According to the research, the solution to the test anxiety is to________.A. sit quietly before the examB. prepare well before the testC. set their mind on happy memoriesD. write about their feelings before the test19.The result of the research suggests that ________.A. proper amount of burden may turn out to be a good thingB.avoiding facing the problem may contribute to relaxationC. facing the fears bravely may help one to achieve moreD. taking no action before difficulty may result in successⅢ.阅读表达阅读下面短文并回答问题。
