课时达标(十七)Unit 2 Working the landⅠ 阅读理解AHarvard in the United States was the most likely place that they have studied in.The Times Higher Education magazine ranked the universities attended by chief executive officers(CEO) of Fortune Global 500 companies. There are four U．S. universities in the top 10, with three from France, two from Japan and one from South Korea. The highest ranked U．K. university is Oxford in 21st place.This league table, described as the Alma Mater Index, shows which universities around the world taught the bosses of some of the world’s biggest companies. One in twenty had a degree from a single institution, Harvard. This included Margaret C．Whitman of HewlettPackard, Jeffrey R. Immelt of General Electric and Vittorio Colao of Vodafone.But the top 10 for producing business leaders does not contain all the usual names that appear at the top of university rankings. Oxford and Cambridge are absent, but the University of Pennsylvania in the U．S. and Keio University in Japan are included, along with three French universities, headed by the École Polytechnique.Across the top 100, universities from the U．S. dominate , followed by universities in China, Japan, France and Germany. There are more CEOs who went to university in Asia than in Europe. In terms of national comparisons, U．K. universities produced the sixth highest number of global chief executives, with Oxford in 21st place and Cambridge in 45th place.But even though Harvard might have taught the biggest number of bosses from the top 500 companies, it was not attended by any of the heads of the biggest 10 companies, who were from a more diverse range of universities.Royal Dutch Shell is headed by a graduate of Zurich University of Applied Sciences; Walmart is headed by a student of Georgia Tech and Exxon Mobil has a chief executive from the University of Texas, Autin. Three of the leaders of these biggest companies went to university in China and the head of Volkswagen went to university in Stuttgart.语篇导读哪所大学培养的世界级公司的CEO多？《Times Higher Education》杂志给出了答案。

2 Working the land***阅读理解。

Those who claim bananas are fattening argue that bananas cause the body to make lots of insulin(胰岛素), and insulin causes fat growth.How much insulin we produce is related to how fast food becomes sugar in our bloodstream. How can you know if food makes a lot of sugar quickly? The glycemic index(血糖指数), or GI rating tells us. Foods with GI scores above 75 are considered highGI foods, leading to faster sugar development. Bananas have a GI of 62, which is considered low.Weight loss can be a struggle for anyone, but it is especially hard for diabetics(糖尿病患者). A study looked at how the starch from unripe bananas affected the weight of a group of obese diabetics. After four weeks of a diet high in bananas, diabetics lost significantly more weight than on a control diet. They also saw improvements in insulin sensitivity from the banana diet.What’s more, bananas have been shown to cut risks of strokes, diabetes and cancers.(Bananas are the most powerful fruit for lowering the risk of kidney cancer.) Bananas are also a rich source of fiber, which has been shown to help weight loss. Bananas that still have some green on the skin are even higher in fiber.Skins from green bananas can be taken and, after removing the stem and dark tip, cut into small pieces 2－3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. These pieces can be made into a tea or added to a dish. When you eat the skins, be sure you are eating organic bananas. The flesh of regular bananas is low in pesticides, but the skins are not.【解题导语】本文反驳了“吃香蕉会使人发胖”这一错误观点，告诉大家香蕉不会使身体分泌很多胰岛素而导致脂肪增加，相反，香蕉对身体健康有着诸多好处。

2 Working the land李仕才***阅读理解。

Whenever something looks interesting or beautiful, there is a natural desire of us to capture(捕捉) and preserve it—which means, in this day and age, that we are likely to reach for our phones to take a picture.Though this would seem to be an ideal solution, there are two big problems associated with taking pictures. Firstly, we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourage us to take a photograph in the first place. And secondly, because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones, we never get around to looking at them, so sure are we that we’ll get around to them one day.The first person to notice the problems was the English art critic(评论家), John Ruskin. He was a keen traveler who realized that most tourists make a poor job of noticing or remembering the beautiful things they see. He argued that humans have a natural tendency to respond to beauty and desire to have it, but there are better and worse expressions of this desire. At worst, we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs. But, in Ruskin’s eyes, there’s just one thing we should do—attempting to draw the interesting things we see, regardless of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.Ruskin said, “Drawing can teach us to see: to notice properly rather than gaze absentmindedly.In the process of recreating with our own hands what lies before our eyes, we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.”Ruskin deplored the blindness and hurry of modern tourists, especially those who prided themselves on traveling around the whole Europe in a week by train, “No changing of places at a hundred miles an hour will make us stronger, happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than men could see, if they ever walked slowly. The really precious things are thoughts and sights, not pace.”【解题导语】本文主要讨论了旅游中如何享受美景以及游客普遍存在的问题。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校必修4 Unit 2 Working the land李仕才一、阅读理解A“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”—Albert EinsteinIf you have a kid with special needs in the school system, chances are you have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My fiveyearold daughter Syona has cerebral palsy(脑瘫) and it means, combined with her communication challenges and sight problems, that standard assessments (and by “standard”， I mean the ones used to assess kids with special needs) aren't always an accurate measure of her abilities.By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26yearold teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, who starts his special education class by calling up each student individually to give them much admiration and a high five. I couldn't help but be reminded of Syona's teacher and how he supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence and selfworth increase rapidly，” he said. All I could think was: How lucky these students are to have such a inspirational teacher.Syona's teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: awesome. Her teacher doesn't focus on what can't be done—she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona's confidence increase tenfold. She uses words she wouldn't have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmate's trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We've recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.Ulmer's reach as a teacher goes far beyond the walls of his classroom. In fact, he teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate thestrengths of an important person in our lives.【文章大意】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

·江西师大附中三模 )An older friend once gave mea piece of advice ，“ Enjoy the last few weeks of college，” she said，“ since college is the best time of your life.”This was not the first time I’d heard such a statement，but with graduation fast coming close ，her words especially struck me.It seemed a bit disappointing to reach one’s life peak at only 22 years of age but， in her opinion ，college had been one of the best times in my life so far.I madefriends，took classes，and learned a great deal about myself.But I was also excited for the time after college —moving to a new city ，starting a new job ，and becoming a “real ” person.I hoped that my great dreams were practical.Then， last week I read a column in Real Simple Magazine called100 Years of Attitude，in which women100 years or older shared their life experiences and views.I noticed that none of them considered college as the “best ” timeof their life.Not all of them went to college ，but still in most cases their teens and twenties were not the best times of their life.They said some oftheir favorite times were raising their children，traveling after retirement，and even enjoying their present time and age.Enjoying one’s present time and age was a clear theme of the interviews.A piece of advice given by the women was about the importance of making thebest of all situations.I think it more accurate than that of my friend；I can say with certainty that if I am lucky enough to make it to 100.I refuseto spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting (跌落) downhill，or even leveling off.I am sure that our eagerness and devotion will make us college students live a meaningful life.We will not just look backwards or miss our collegedays.We will look forward in excitement about continued journey uphill.1． Which of the following opinions does the writer agree with?A．College is the best time of one’s life.B． Twenties were the best time of the old people.C． One should make the best of all situations.D． One should not look backwards at their college time.2． In the second paragraph，the writer wants to say________.A． her achievements in college would be the peak of her successB．she is looking forward to living as a“real” person in collegeC． she becomes more and more uneasy with graduationD． she is satisfied with the college life but is hopeful for the future3．The column the writer read is mainly about those old women’s________.A． best time of life at youthB． life experiences and viewsC． different opinions about lifeD． favorite time with best friends4．By saying “I refuse to spend the last 80 years of mylife plummeting downhill，or even leveling off ”(in Paragraph 4) ， the writer really means________.A． she will not spend the rest of her time at collegeB． she will not just obtain a college level certificateC． she will not be satisfied with what she has alreadyaccomplished D． she will not be content with the life in the future5． Which of the following words can be used to describe the writer?A． Ambitious.B． Practical.C． Imaginative.D． Proud.B(2020 ·潍坊 5 月模拟 )Rae and Bruce Hostetler not only work very hard，they also relax justas well.Numerous vacations help the couple to maintain their health andemotional well-being--and it’s no surprise to health care professionals.“Rest， relaxation ， and stress reduction are very important forpeople ’s well-bei ng and health.This can be accomplished through daily activities ，such as exercise and meditation ，but vacation is an importantpart of this as well ，” said primary care physician Natasha Withers fromOne Medical Group in NewYork.Withers lists a decreased risk of heart disease and improved reaction time as some of the benefits from taking some timeoff. “We also know that the mind is very powerful and can help with healing ，so a rested ，relaxed mind is able to help the body heal better ，” said Withers.Psychologis ts confirm the value of vacations for the mind. “The impact that taking a vacation has on one’s mental health is great ，” said Francine Lederer ，a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles who specializes in stressand relationship management. “Most people have bet ter life perspective andare more motivated to achieve their goals after a vacation ，even if it isa 24-hour time-out. ” The trips could be good for their health ， good for their family and good for their businesses.The online travel agency Expedia conducted a survey about vacation time in 2020，and according to their data the average American earned 18 vacation days—but only used 14 of them.France topped the list ，with the average worker earning 37 vacation days and using all but two of them.Americans ’ response s may not be surprising in a culture where long hours on the job often arevalued ，but that ’s not always good for the individual ，the family or the employer.Psychologists have also found that people who don ’t take enough time to relax may find it harder to relax in the future. “Without time and opportunity to do this ，the nerve connections that produce feelings of calm and peacefulness become weaker ， making it actually more difficult to shiftinto less-stressed states ，” Mulhern said.6． How did the author introduce the topic of the text?A． By making comparisons. B． By giving an example.C． By raising questions. D． By providing data.7． According to Natasha Withers ，vacations can________.A． weaken reaction systemB． cure serious diseasesC．reduce the level of well-bei ngD． decrease the risk of heart disease8．Expedia ’s survey shows that Americans________.A． dislike family gatheringsB． have the shortest vacationC． enjoy as many vacations as the FrenchD． think much of spending long hours on the job9． What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A． One should never wait to relax.B． Work and rest go against each other.C． Time and opportunity wait for no man.D． A relaxed mind determines everything.10．What is mainly talked about in the text?A．Ways to relax in one’s free time.B． The benefits of taking time off.C． Different opinions on holidays.D． The Hostetlers always on the go.课时作业 ( 十七 )Ⅰ. 单项填空1．分析：考察社交用语。

Her teacher doesn't focus on what can't be done—she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona's confidence increase tenfold. She uses words she wouldn't have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmate's trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We've recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.Ulmer's reach as a teacher goes far beyond the walls of his classroom. In fact, he teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate the strengths of animportant person in our lives.【文章大意】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。
