Unit 2 Poems一、阅读理解。

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example, economic reasons —why they should be preserved.So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change.Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文，讨论了现代建筑是否应该和古老的历史建筑建在一起。

Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·成都高中毕业班诊断检测)Isabel has turned down two joboffers in the past year. The first job she considered was the director of HRfor a company in Utah. After the initial interviews, she felt the job fit herexcept for the location. Still, she flew west to meet the hiring manager. Thehiring manager explained that Isabel was the top candidate for the job butthat, before she continued with the process, she should better understand the firm’s culture. She directed Isabel to several videos of the company’s CEO, who regularly appeared in front of the company in costume as part of morale-building exercises and expected his senior leaders to do the same.“Even though I was desperate for a job, I knew I couldn’t do that，”Isabel says. She called the company to turn down the job and explained that she didn’t feel there was a cultural fit.A few months later, she had an interview for another job：a director of employee relations at a local university. After several interviews, the hiring manager told her the job was hers if she wanted it. The job had many positives：it provided a low-stress environment, it offered great benefits, and the university was an employeefriendly place. But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldn’t be challenging enough. Finally, she turned it down.“It would be great to have a paycheck and great benefits but I would definitely have trouble sleeping at night，”she says.In both cases, she was frank with the hiring managers about why she wasn’t taking the jobs.“In the past, it felt like dating, and I was worried about hurting people’s feelings，”she says. However, they appreciated her frankness and thanked her for her honesty. She says it was hard to turn down the jobs and it was a risk for her financially but she felt she had to.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Isabel拒绝两份工作的经历和感想.1．Which factor made Isabel turn down the first job finally?A．The company’s location.B．The initial interviews.C．The firm’s culture.D．The hiring manager.C解析：细节理解题.根据第一段最后一句可知，Isabel认为这种企业文化不适合自己，所以拒绝了这份工作，故C项正确.2．What does the underlined word “junior”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Challenging.B．Easy.C．Beneficial.

According to its advertisement, potential customers just need to book a lunch reservation, then complete a six－minute workout consisting of intervals on the rowing machine and spin bike. After exercising, people can order one of four tasty, healthy options on the café’s menu for free.The gym chain explained that the motivation behind the activity is to get sedentary(久坐不动的) office workers away from their desks during the workday. “According to our research British office workers spend almost 90 percent of the working day sitting, being inactive and eating lunch at their desks—a problem worsened by the huge popularity and convenience of food and shopping delivery apps，”Elaine Denton, a health and fitness expert from David Lloyd Clubs, said in a statement. “We want to remind workers of the importance of being active at work and moving around more.”She added, “Importantly, the caféisn’t in any way about encouraging people to ‘cancel out’calories through exercise. Indeed, the micro workout at Run for Your Bun Caféonly represents a part of the calories contained in any of the lunch foods.”Though the deal is only open to Londoners from Jan. 11 to Jan. 13, the model is one that is likely to inspire lots of copycats(模仿者) around the globe. Interested parties can head to 3 Slingsby Place, London from 12 p．m.to 3 p．m.until Friday.【解题导语】该文主要介绍了欧洲一家健身服务提供商发起的一项活动.5．Where does the uniqueness of the activity lie?A．In its excellence of service.B．In its widespread advertising.C．In its special way of payment.D．In its abundance of food choices.C解析：推理判断题.根据第二段的整体内容可知，顾客只要锻炼6分钟就可以得到免费的午餐，由此可推断，这种活动的独特之处在于午餐独特的付费形式，即以锻炼来付费，故选C.6．Why did the Run for Your Bun Caféhold the activity?A．To introduce healthy eating habits to office workers.B．To prove the benefits of being physically active.C．To help improve office workers’productivity.D．To encourage office workers’activity level.D解析：推理判断题.根据第三段的“The gym chain explained that the motivation behind the activity is to get sedentary(久坐不动的) office workers away from their desks during the workday.”和“We want to remind workers of the importance of being active at work and moving around more.”可知，这一活动的目的在于鼓励上班族多活动，不要久坐，故选D.7．What does the author think of the activity?A．It may have far－reaching influence.B．It should have attracted more people.C．It shouldn’t have been a temporary one.D．It could have been made more convenient.A解析：推理判断题.根据最后一段第一句可推知，作者认为活动虽然时间短，但具有开创性，可能在全球产生深远影响，故选A.Ⅱ七选五(2018·石家庄高中毕业班模拟)Summer is a time to look forward to because there is no school to get you down.1.________ You just need to stay active, occupied, and have an open mind.·Read if you feel bored.Subscribe to a magazine or comic if you don’t like books.

She had come there at the same hour on the day previous, and on the day before that; and there was one who knew it.The young man who knew it hovered near. His devotion was rewarded, for, in turning a page, her book slipped from her fingers. The young man ran upon it immediately, returning it to its owner.The girl looked him over leisurely at his ordinary, neat dress. “You may sit down, if you like，”she said, in a deliberate contralto(女低音)．“Do you know，”he said, “that you are the most charming girl I have ever seen? I had my eye on you yesterday. Didn’t know somebody was obsessed by those pretty lamps of yours, did you, honeysuckle？”“Whoever you are，”said the girl, in icy tones, “you must remember that I am a lady. I will excuse the remark you have just made because the mistake was, doubtless, not an unnatural one—in your circle.”“I seriously beg your pardon，”said the young man. His expression of satisfaction had changed to regret and shame.“Abandon the subject, if you please. Now, tell me about these people passing and crowding. Where are they going? Why do they so hurry？Are they happy？”The young man had promptly abandoned his air of coquetry(嬉皮笑脸). “It is interesting to watch them，”he replied, “It is the wonderful drama of life. One wonders what their histories are.”“I do not，”said the girl, “I am not so curious about others’stories. I come here to sit because here, only, I can be near the great, common, beating heart of humanity. Can you guess why I spoke to you？”The girl, held up a slender finger, and smiled slightly. “Because I wanted to talk, for once, with a natural man—one unspoiled by the dirty gloss of wealth. Oh! You do not know how tired I am of it—money, money, money! I am sick of jewels, of travel, of society, of luxuries，of all kinds.Sometimes the very tinkle of the ice in my champagne glass nearly drives me mad.”“I have always liked to read and hear about the ways of wealthy and fashionable folks. Now, I had formed the opinion that champagne is cooled in the bottle and not by placing ice in the glass，”The young man said.The girl gave a musical laugh of genuine amusement. “You should know，”she explained, “that just now it is a fad to put ice in champagne. The idea was originated by a visiting Prince of Tartary wh ile dining at the Waldorf.”“I see，”admitted the young man, humbly.“Sometimes，”continued the girl, “I have thought that if I ever should love a man, it would be one of lowly station. One who is a worker and not a lazy bone. By the way, what is your occupation？”“A very humble one. Were you serious when you said that you could love a man of lowly position？”“Indeed I was.”“I work in a restaurant.”The girl shrank slightly and asked, “Not as a waiter? Labor is noble, though.”“I am not a wai ter. I am a cashier in that restaurant.”The girl consulted a tiny watch upon her left wrist, and rose, hurriedly. “Why are you not at work？”“I am on the night turn，”said the young man. “May I not hope to see you again？”“I do not know. Perhaps—but I must go quickly now. There is a dinner—and, oh! Perhaps you noticed an automobile at the upper corner of the park as you came. Pierre waits for me there. He supposes me to be shopping in the department store across the square. Goodbye.” Passing down the sidewalk, she entered a restaurant. There a redhead girl glanced pointedly at the clock, leaving the cashier’s desk. The girl in gray took her place.The young man walked slowly back along the sidewalk and stepped into the automobile and said two words to the driver：“Club, Henri.”【解题导语】本文为记叙文，改编自欧·亨利的短篇小说《汽车等候的时候》. 小说描述了一个来自底层社会的女出纳员与一个来自上层社会的富家公子之间的故事.4．Which of the following descriptions about the girl in gray is NOT true?A．She is elegant and contented to be badly off.B．She is an ordinary laborer of lowly station.C．She has an admiration for life in the upper class.D．She is deceptive and insincere.A解析：推理判断题. 通读全文，不难发现灰衣女孩是一个爱慕虚荣，幻想上层社会奢华生活的人. 故答案选A.5．Which sentence implies that the girl in gray is not from the upper class?A．Whoever you are, you must remember that I am a lady.B．I come here to sit because here, only, I can be near the great, common, beating heart of humanity.C．Sometimes the very tinkle of the ice in my champagne glass nearly drives me mad.D．If I ever should love a man, it would be one of lowly station.C解析：细节理解题. 由文中的“champagne is cooled in the bottle and not by placing ice in the glass”可知，香槟酒是整瓶冰镇，而不是倒在杯子里放冰块冰镇. 而灰衣女孩却说香槟酒杯中叮当作响的冰块有时让她抓狂. 很明显，女孩在撒谎，她对上层社会生活的不熟悉也暴露无遗. 故答案选C.6．What may be the reason for the girl’s consulting a tiny watch upon her left wrist?A．She was to ask the young man to go back to work.B．She was to check if she was late for the dinner.C．It was about time that she went back to work.D．It was one way to show that she was from the upper class.C解析：细节理解题. 由倒数第二段中的“There a redhead girl glanced pointedly at the clock, leaving the cashier’s desk.

D．Doubtful.B解析：观点态度题. 通读全文，不难发现作者所描述的主人公灰衣女孩是一个爱慕虚荣，幻想上层社会奢华生活的人. 她说自己宁愿爱上一个身份卑微但勤劳肯干的人，然而，当男主人公谎称自己是餐厅收银员时，她却退缩了. 作者以讽刺的笔调将女孩的虚伪展现得淋漓尽致. 故答案选B.8．Why did the girl shrink slightly after knowing the young man’s occupation?A．She was greatly astonished by the young man’s reply.B．Her desire to talk with a lowly station man declined.C．She felt pitiful about the young man’s poor life.D．She came to realize that the young man was a liar.B解析：细节理解题. 灰衣女孩说自己宁愿爱上一个身份卑微但勤劳肯干的人，然而，当男主人公谎称自己是餐厅收银员时，她却因为男孩的卑微身份而不愿意继续与他交谈.故答案选B.9．Which of the following is NOT true according to the last two paragraphs?A．Both the young man and the girl are liars.B．Pierre was the girl’s boyfriend.C．The girl worked in a restaurant as a cashier.D．The young man finally knew the girl was lying.B解析：细节理解题.

uncut food that your parents packed in your lunch box. That’s because biting into anything that requires the use of the front teeth, is likely to cause rude behavior in kids! At least that’s the conclusion some researchers from Cornell University have made, after observing the behavior of 12 students at a summer camp.The researchers began by dividing the students into two groups. On the first day, one group was given chicken on the bone. The other was provided with the same chicken cut into delicious, bite－size pieces so that the only way to eat it was with a fork. The following day, the food was exchanged, so that the first group received the small pieces and forks, while the second, enjoyed the chicken on the bone. Each day the camp counselors also gave the kids strict instructions to let them stay within a circle with a 9－foot radius.The researcher recorded both the meal time and then asked behavioral experts to evaluate what happened. They agreed that the kids that were required to bite the food were twice as likely to show aggressive behavior and disobey the adults, as those that focused on eating their food with forks. Of course, the latter also showed some rude behavior. If that isn’t bad enough, the former group was also more likely to leave their special circle and even, stand and jump on the picnic tables!This has made Mr. Wansink, who led the research and his team, conclude that for some reasons, kids that bite into their food are more likely to exhibit bad behavior than those forced to eat with forks. Therefore, he advises parents to cut up the food they serve to their kids to enjoy a peaceful meal!【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文.研究表明，孩子吃东西的方式可能会影响他们的行为举止.1．What probably results in kids’ bad behavior?A．The way kids bite into food.B．The way food is cooked.C．The unhealthy food kids eat.D．Their attitude toward the food.A解析：细节理解题.根据第一段第二句“That’s because biting into anything that requires the use of the front teeth, is likely to cause rude behavior in kids！”可知，孩子表现粗鲁和吃东西的方式有关.故选A.2．Paragraph 2 mainly shows ________．A．the result of the researchB．the time on the researchC．the way the research went onD．the difficulties the research facedC解析：段落大意题.根据第二段的内容可知，研究者做了一个实验，主要是为了研究孩子的粗鲁表现是否和吃东西的方式有关.在实验中孩子们被分成两组，然后在两天里分别用不同的方式吃东西.故本段主要写的是实验方式.故选C.3．What can we learn about the students at the summer camp?A．They enjoyed the food there very much.B．They exhibited different levels of rude behavior.C．They were asked to bite the food with care.D．They were likely to behave badly frequently.B解析：细节理解题.根据第三段第二句“They agreed that the kids that were required to bite the food were twice as likely to show aggressive behavior and disobey the adults, as those that focused on eating their food with forks.”可知，因吃饭方式的不同，两组孩子粗鲁的行为出现的次数明显不同.故选B.4．What does Mr. Wansink advise parents to do?A．To eat with their kids often.B．To teach their kids how to eat food.C．To serve their kids with small pieces of food.D．To show their kids good behavior often.C解析：细节理解题.根据最后一段最后一句“Therefore, he advises parents to cut up the food they serve to their kids to enjoy a peaceful meal！”可知，Wansink先生建议家长把孩子吃的食物切成小块.故选C.BIn its early history，Chicago had floods frequently，especially in the spring，making the streetsso muddy that people，horses and carts got stuck.An old joke that was popular at the time went like this：A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street.Asked if he needs help，he replies，“No，thanks.I’ve got a good horse under me.”The city planner decided to build an underground drainage(排水) system，but there simply wasn’t enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level.The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt.This raised the level of the city’s streets by as much as 12 feet.This of course created a new problem：dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago.Building owners were faced with a choice：either change the first floors of their buildings into basements，and the second stories into mainfloors，or hoist(吊起) the entire buildings to meet the new street level.Small woodframe buildings could be lifted fairly easily.But what about large，heavy structures like the Tremont Hotel, which was a sixstory brick building?That’s where George Pullman came in.He had developed some housemoving skills successfully.To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel，Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews(螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building’s foundation.One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews.At Pullman’s sign each man turned his jackscrews by the same amount at the same time，thereby raising the building slowly and evenly.Astonishingly，the Tremont Hotel stayed open during the entire operation，and many of its guests didn’t even notice anything was happening.Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago’s early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem.Now that Chicago’s waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River，the city’s next step was to clean the polluted river.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了芝加哥为了应对洪水泛滥的问题而实行了一些解决方案的故事.5．The author mentions the joke in Paragraph 1 to show________．A．horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB．Chicago’s streets were extremely muddyC．Chicago was very dangerous in the springD．the Chicago people were particularly humorousB解析：推理判断题.根据第一段第一句“In its early history，Chicago had floods frequently，especially in the spring，making the streets so muddy that people，horses and carts got stuck.”可推知，作者提及这个笑话是为了表明芝加哥的街道非常泥泞，故选B.6．The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to________．A．get rid of the street dirtB．lower the Chicago RiverC．fight against heavy floodsD．build the pipes above groundD解析：细节理解题.根据第三段第一句“An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt.”可知，Ellis Chesbrough 让城市规划者相信在地上建管道才能解决洪水泛滥所带来的问题，故选D.7．What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?A．It went on smoothly as intended.B．It interrupted the business of the hotel.C．It involved Pullman in turning ten jackscrews.D．It separated the building from its foundation.A解析：细节理解题.根据第五段内容可推知，用螺旋千斤顶把the Tremont Hotel升高的事项进展顺利，故选A.8．The passage is mainly about the early Chicago’s________．A．popular lifestyles and their influencesB．environmental disasters and their causesC．engineering problems and their solutionsD．successful businessmen and their achievementsC解析：主旨大意题.结合全文可知，本文主要讲的是早期芝加哥如何应对洪水泛滥的问题的故事，故选C.。

Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·陕西宝鸡检测)(CHINA DAILY Oct. 20th, 2018) It doesn’t seem that U．S.singer Bob Dylan has much in common with literary mavens(内行) like Ernest Hemingwayand T．S. Elliot. But, last week, these three figures became forever bonded(黏合) by the Nobel Prize in Literature.Th is year’s prize makes Dylan the first American since Toni Morrison in 1993to win the title. At the same time, the surprising announcement has also burneda firestorm of discussion around the globe.Influential U．S. writer Jodi Picoult joked that she might now deserve a Grammy(格莱美奖). And well－known British－Indian novelist Hari Kunzru lamented(悲叹) on social media by saying：“This feels like the lamest Nobel winner since they gav e it to Obama for not being Bush.”Dylan’s new status—a musician awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature—to a degree challenges tradition. However, this is by no means his first prize in his writing talents. Back in 2008, the Pulitzer Prize jury(普利策奖评委会) awa rded Dylan a special award “for his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power”. To this point, it could be argued that what the Nobel Committee is doing is simply strengthening Dylan’s unshakable standing in the world of literature.The words behind Dylan’s songs address social issues and have been spread from generation to generation. Protest songs like Blowing in the Wind(1962) were the anthems(圣歌) of anti－war and civil rights movements in the 1960s U．S. Densely poetic and image－rich songs such as Mr. Tambourine Man(1965) pushed the folk－rock movement. And even today, many of Dylan’s songs are still relevant and streamed regularly by people all over the world.【解题导语】曾获得奥斯卡奖、普利策奖和格莱美奖等多项大奖的美国歌手鲍勃·迪伦，以其充满诗意的音乐作品又获得了诺贝尔文学奖，这也使他成为名副其实的跨界之王。

Unit 2 PoemsⅠ阅读理解A(2018·浙江温州检测)(CHINA DAILY Oct. 20th, 2016) It doesn’t seemthat U．S. singer Bob Dylan has much in common with literary mavens(内行) like Ernest Hemingway and T．S. Elliot. But, last week, these three figures became forever bonded(黏合) by the Nobel Prize in Literature.This year’s prize makes Dylan the first American since Toni Morrison in 1993 to win the title. At the same time, the surprising announcement has also burned a firestorm of discussion around the globe.Influential U．S. writer Jodi Picoult joked that she might now deserve a Grammy(格莱美奖). And well－known British－Indian novelist Hari Kunzru lamented(悲叹) on social media by saying：“This feels like the lamest Nobel winner since they gave it to Obama for not being B ush.”Dylan’s new status—a musician awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature—to a degree challenges tradition. However, this is by no means his first prize in his writing talents. Back in 2008, the Pulitzer Prize jury(普利策奖评委会) awarded Dylan a special award “f or his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power”. To this point, it could be argued that what the Nobel Committee is doing is simply strengthening Dylan’s unshakable standing in the world of literature.The words behind Dylan’s songs address social issues and have been spread from generation to generation. Protest songs like Blowing in the Wind(1962) were the anthems(圣歌) of anti－war and civil rights movements in the 1960s U．S. Densely poetic and image－rich songs such as Mr. Tambourine Man(1965) pushed the folk－rock movement. And even today, many of Dylan’s songs are still relevant and streamed regularly by people all over the world.【解题导语】曾获得奥斯卡奖、普利策奖和格莱美奖等多项大奖的美国歌手鲍勃·迪伦，以其充满诗意的音乐作品又获得了诺贝尔文学奖，这也使他成为名副其实的跨界之王。

Unit 2 PoemsⅠ阅读理解(2018·成都高中毕业班诊断)Flaubert had it that “one way of tolerating existence is to lose oneself in literature as in an unending party”. It turns out that reading doesn’t only help us to tolerate existence, but actually lengthens it.A recent study by Yale University researchers, published online in the journal SocialScience & Medicine, concluded that “book readers experienced a 20 percent reduction in the risk of death over the 12 years of followup compared to nonreade rs”．The data was obtained from the study sponsored by the National Institute on Aging. The study looked at 3，635 subjects, all older than 50, whom the researchers divided into three groups：those who didn’t read books, those who read up to 3.5 hours a week and those who read more than 3.5 hours a week.The findings were remarkable：on average, book readers survived almost two years longer than those who didn’t crack open a book. The more the subjects read, the longer they lived, but as little as 30 minutes a day was still beneficial in terms of survival.Accounting for factors such as education level, income and health status, the study found that those who read more than 3.5 hours weekly were 23 percent less likely to die during that 12year period. Those wh o read up to 3.5 hours—an average of a half hour a day—were 17 percent less likely.“In other words, just like a healthy diet and exercise, books appear to promote a significant survival advantage，” the authors concluded.Why or how that’s the case remains unclear；the research showed only an association between book reading and longevity, not a causal relationship. But the findings are not so surprising. Other recent research showed that reading novels appears to increase both brain connectivity and sympathy.【解题导语】研究发现，阅读和长寿有一定的联系，阅读者的平均寿命比不读书的人长将近两岁。
