This Ms Boyle, looking unfashionable, from a village in Scotland, shocked the three judges and the audience with the song I dreamed a dream from the musical Les Miserables on a show of Britain's Got Talent, one of the hottest reality shows in Britain.She couldn't hide the awkwardness when walking to the center of the stage in a housedress, and everyone—including the judges—seemed laughing at her when she said she wanted to be as successful as Elaine Paige. As soon as she began singing, however, everyone in the auditorium fell silent, then rose within seconds to applaud her incredible voice as the celebrity judges sat openmouthed, and remained standing to the end.After her performance, one of the judges Piers Morgan said，“Without doubt thatwas the biggest surprise I've had in three years of this show. When you stood there everyone was laughing a t you.No one is laughing now. That was amazing.”Actress Amanda Holden followed，“I'm so thrilled because I know that we everybody were against you.I honestly think that we were all being very cynical(愤世嫉俗的) and I think that's the biggest wakeup call ever.”Susan obviously won over the hearts of millions around the world with sensation spreading across the Atlantic. Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore—who between them have nearly 1.5 million followers—speak highly of her. Kutcher posted a link to the video clip(片段). The Scottish talent made her live American debut via satellite connection on CBS's The Early Show, doing an interview and singing live from her room. And she already accepted an invitation from talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey.Now Boyle has become one of the world's hottest celebrities. The video clip of her performance has been viewed more than 50 million times on Youtube, becoming a hit on the Internet.16．We learn from the passage that Susan Boyle ________．A．rose from a low social classB．had an unhappy marriageC．lived with a dog alone on a farmD．won the championship in the Britain's Got Talent show17．At the beginning of the show, almost everybody ________．A．looked forward to her wonderful performanceB．was attracted by her beautiful dressC．looked down upon herD．placed great hope on her18．We can infer that ________ contributed most to her global popularity.A．the judges B．the InternetC．the newspaper D．the advertisement19．The 4th paragraph is intended to tell us ________．A．how Susan Boyle achieved her successB．the comment made by American actor Ashton KutcherC．Susan Boyle's influence in the USAD．Oprah Winfrey's invitation to Susan BoyleBThe class of eighth grade at a Los Angeles middle school tap their rulers and nod their heads to the rhythm of the rap video shown on a screen. Their algebra teacher, LaMar Queen, uses rhyme to help them memorize seemingly difficult items to improve their grades.Queen, 26, is now known at Los Angeles Academy Middle School as the rap teacher, but his fame has spread beyond the 2，200student school in this neighborhood. He's won a national award and shown teachers and parents how to use rap to teach children.“Math is a bad word for many students, but if we put it in a form that kids enjoy, they'll learn，” Queen said. “Rap is what the kids respond to.They don't have a problem memorizing the songs at all.”Queen's math rap came about by chance. Two months after starting at LA Academy, he was frustrated when kids said his class was boring. They thought that he looked like the singer Kanye West, so they challenged him to rap.Queen has been rapping since the seventh grade. With his students' challenge on his mind, he pushed aside work on his lesson plans and wrote a rap song Slope Intercept.Word of his rapping soon reached the school's main office. Principal Maria Borges went to look into it, and came out smiling.“It interests the kids，” she said.“Kids seem to know all the rap songs, and it's helpful for them to remember math rules.” “Some kids who aren't even in Mr Queen's class go ar ound singing his songs，” said Kejon Closure, 13, who went from a Caverage to an A.In the raps, Queen defines a math concept and works through sample problems step by step. He keeps a relaxed manner when singing with his students. Queen also tries to insp ire them. His lyrics tell students “to get As on your papers”，and “to be respectful and listen to your parents”．Sometimes the students appear in the videos as a reward for good grades and behavior.20．According to the passage, LaMar Queen has been ________ since he began to teach students at Los Angeles Academy.A．a popular teacher B．a music teacherC．a mathematics teacher D．a famous singer21．LaMar Queen has won a national award because ________．A．he is good at composing rap songsB．his new musical production was shown on TVC．he created a unique teaching method in mathD．he gave students a lot of confidence22．We can infer from the last paragraph but one that ________．A．Queen's teaching method has been well received by both the principal and the studentsB．Queen makes math easy and tries to inspire his students in the rapC．Queen is willing to help the students who are not good at mathD．Principal Maria Borges doesn't think it a good way to teach math by rapping 23．This passage may be taken from China Daily in the column of ________．A．society B．educationC．entertainment D．biographyⅢ.短文填词Last weekend, our school organized a social activity.

Unit 2 Working the landⅠ.阅读理解ABritish shoppers buy 2.15 million tonnes of clothing and shoes annually，yet UK citizens have an estimated ￡30 billion worth of unused clothing gatherin g dust at the back of the wardrobe (衣柜)．But new technology could see the end of that，with the garments themselves giving owners a gentle reminder of their existence.“Smart clothes”could help us clear out our wardrobes by sending messages or tweeting us if they haven't been worn for a good while.If these alerts are ignored，the garments will get in touch with a clothing charity and ask to be reused，with an organization automatically sending out donation information.They could also be programm ed to put themselves up for auction(拍卖) on eBay.Academics at Birmingham City University are developing the “connected wardrobe”to encourage more suitable clothes consumption. The concept sees garments tagged (给……加标签) using washable contactless technology.Mark Brill，senior lecturer at Birmingham City University，said，“Think of the surprise when an owner suddenly receives bids for items that they didn't know were in their wardrobe.”“The connected wardrobe is a practical，pleasant concept to encourage people to think about theirclothing consumption.Finally，I hope it will encourage more appropriate fashion consumption，”he added.“Perhaps we can even move away from the idea of‘ownership’of clothing.When we've worn them enough，the items will pass themselves on to their next keeper.”It follows in the footsteps of the “Internet of Things”—a concept that sees ordinary household items connecting to the Internet in order to share information.From adjusting your alarm clock t o monitoring the temperature of your home，the Internet is changing the way we live.Now，the “Internet of Clothes”will see that neglected garments will tweet and text the owners “asking”to be worn depending on the weather and frequency of wear.Clothes will keep track of other information such as who owned them previously，as well as how much they originally cost，who made them and how much the worker was paid for them.[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了新型的“智能衣服”“智能衣柜”，而这一科技发明可以帮助人们更好地管理自己的衣服，树立正确的消费观念。

Unit 2 Working the land阅读理解·组块专练——练速度(限时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·河南省普通高中毕业班高考适应性测试)Last Friday, 6yearold Landon Johnson went to the RiverTown Crossings Mall in Grandville with his family. While there, the boy and his cousins took turns chatting with Santa, sharing their Christmas desires.After telling the man in red he wanted a Wii, a toy dinosaur and a remotecontrol car, Landon hopped off Santa's lap to rejoin his family. But a fewmoments later, he raced back to Santa's side: he'd forgotten to tell himsomething important. Specifically, Landon shared his worry with Santa thathis autism (自闭症) would land him on the “naughty list”．His mom, Naomi Johnson, explained to WOODTV this week that Landon is often told he's “naughty” by people who mistake his autism for bad behavior. “You get the stares when you're at the grocery store if he's too loud，” Johnson said. “He's been told by other people before, ‘You don't need to be so naughty，’ or ‘Why are you naughty？’．”Johnson says Santa took the time to listen to Landon's worries, and held the boy's hands all the while. “Santa sat him next to him and took Landon's hands in his and started rubbing them, calming them down. Santa asked Landon if it bothered him, having Autism? Landon said yes, sometimes. Then Santa told him it shouldn't. It shouldn't bother him to be who he is，” Johnson said.Landon told Santa that he sometimes “gets in trouble at school and it's hard for people to understand that he has autism”，but that he's “not a naughty boy”．“You know I l ove you and the reindeer love you and it's OK. You're a good boy，” Santa told WOODTV about the chat with Landon. “You're a good boy, you know.”Johnson said she was incredibly moved by Santa's thoughtful words. “This stranger in a red suit told my son the same message I've been trying to get through to him for a while now —that he's special and I love him just the way he was made，” the mom told . “Seeing Landon's face light up in that moment was just incredible. I couldn't stop crying. He was the real Santa Claus.”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。

He is often described as the man who has saved more lives than any other person in history. Norman Borlaug is considered the father of what has been called the Green Revolution. His ideas about agriculture increased crop production and ended hunger in many nations. Mr Borlaug continues to be a leader among agricultural researchers.Norman Borlaug was born in 1914 on a farm in the American state of Iowa. In the middle of the 20th century, world population was expanding faster than food production. Experts said many people in developing countries would face starvation. Norman Borlaug was an agricultural researcher at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre in Mexico. He developed methods of growing wheat that increased the amount harvested by three times. He later repeated this success in India, Pakistan and Africa.His methods of farming saved millions of people who would have starved to death. Norman Borlaug was given the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in 1970. Norman Borlaug is still urging experts to think about the needs of people around the world. His latest concern is a disease in wheat called UG 99.He says it has the power to destroy most of the wheat being grown around the world. He says reductions in agricultural programmes have made it harder to take action against such threats. Mr Borlaug's granddaughter Julie works at the centre named after him at Texas A&M University in Dallas. She says his worry about food problems rises from the belief that hunger is unacceptable. She says Norman Borlaug still believes it is our responsibility as human beings to feed one another.11. Norman Borlaug was ________ years old when he was given the Nobel Prize.A．56 B．94 C．65 D．9912．In the passage, the writer tries to ________．A．express his respect for Norman BorlaugB．introduce Norman Borlaug's own life in AmericaC．show an interest in Norman Borlaug's researchD．describe Norman Borlaug and his research13．Which of the following statements about UG 99 is TRUE?A．UG 99 is a modern software virus.B．UG 99 is a disease that does great harm to the wheat.C．UG 99 is a virus that appeared in 1999.D．UG 99 caused increase in agricultural output.14．In this passage, the author did NOT mention ________ besides the USA. A．France B．PakistanC．India D．Africa15．From the passage, we can infer that________．A．Mr Borlaug died in 1970B．Norman Borlaug has made great contributions to the crop productionC．it is easy to take action against such threatsD．hunger is the main problem in AsiaBA firm handshake is key to interview success. As any serious job－hunter knows, it helps to dress smartly and smile at that all－important interview. But research has showed that a firm handshake is what really matters when it comes to impressing potential employers.The US research looked at 98 undergraduates taking part in mock(模拟) interviews with businesses. As each undergraduate was graded on their overall performance, five “handshake raters” also marked them on their grasp, strength, duration, vigour and eye contact.Professor Greg Stewart, from the University of Iowa, who led the study, said those who scored highly with the handshake raters were also considered to be the most hirable by the interviewers. Students with wimpy shakes were judged to be more timid and less impressive.The study also found women with a firm handshake were likely to be evaluated more favourably than their male counterparts.Professor Stewart said, “We've always heard that interviewers make up their mind about a person in the first two or three minutes of an interview. But we found that the first impression begins with a handshake that sets the tone for the rest of the interview. We don't consciously remember a person's handshake but it is one of the first non－verbal clues we get about the person's overall personality, and that impression is what we remember.”Women were less likely to have a highly rated handshake, partly because traditionally they shake hands less than men. But when women did possess a firm handshake, they were likely to be evaluated more favourably than their male counterparts.Body language experts warn, however, that the firmness needs to be just right, asan over－enthusiastic bone crusher handshake can indicate self－importance, a controlling personality and a lack of trustworthiness.The handshake is thought to have originated in medieval Europe as a way for kings and knights to show that they did not intend to harm each other and possessed no hidden weapons.16．The passage is probably intended for ________.A．job－hunters B．an undergraduateC．employers D．handshake raters17．From the first paragraph, we know that in an interview ________. A．dressing smartly is more important than a firm handshakeB．a smile has no effect on impressing potential employersC．a firm handshake is more important than dressing smartly and a smile D．dressing smartly, a smile and a firm handshake are of the same importance 18．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A．The firmer your handshake is, the better impression you leave.B．The undergraduates without a firm handshake are thought to be less impressive. C．Generally speaking, women shake hands less with others.D．It's said that the handshake dates back to medieval Europe.19．Professor Greg Stewart probably disagrees that ________.A．a bone crusher handshake gives an unfavourable impressionB．the scores by the handshake raters were not related to the employment of the undergraduatesC．an undergraduate highly scored by the handshake raters was more likely to be hired D．interviewers often decided whether to employ a person in the first two or three minutes of an interview20．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Women with a firm handshake were likely to leave a better impression than men. B．A successful job interview starts with a firm handshake.C．Dressing, a smile and a firm handshake are all important to a successful job interview.D．Job interview success depends on interviewees' body language.Ⅲ.读写任务阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Unit 2 Working the landⅠ.阅读理解A(2021·河南省郑州市高中毕业年级第二次质量预测)At 23, my career got going. I was midway through a master's degree at the London School of Economics and Political Science and had been hired as a parttime reporter for a finance website. I got a great onemonth review and my boss asked if I was interested in staying at the company after graduation.However, balancing graduate studies with work was challenging. To deal with it, I checked my real self at my office door. I came in to work, greeted my colleagues and listened more than I contributed in each morning meeting. The small team I worked with often seemed busy, so rather than giving ideas that might get turned down, I stayed back.After four months, my boss called me into his office. The meeting was going well until he told me that despite the great work I had produced, the team had held a meeting and decided, “We don't think it's the right fit.〞I must have looked confused.“You're ambitious, intelligent and will be very successful，〞my boss said. “But you haven't made enough effort to join the team. You lost the enthusiasm you showed in your interview. That won't work long term, and if I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to get your guard down.〞I couldn't believe that performing well at my job wasn't enough to keep it. But I knew my boss was right. They knew that when they hired me, I had no experience in finance reporting, yet they took a chance on me. In meetings I usually contributed last, after I had heard everyone else's suggestions.I did it to show that I was a listener, but also to hide my fears. They liked the person who walked into the interview, and they didn't respectme when I hid that person from them.“Don't leave before you leave.〞That advice is essential for women at all stages of our careers. Because we work so hard for success, we don't like to think that we hurt ourselves sometimes. But each of us must change when necessary. In trying to earn a fulltime job, I “leaned back〞in order not to show too much of myself or my lack of expertise(专门知识). I learned that the hard way wasn't the way to achieve our goals.【文章大意】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

Of an empty tin?This tin was indeed no worthless piece of trash—it was a splendid truck，complete with wheels and grille (铁栅) and floor.The vehicle even had remote control，a frayed piece of string from the “engine” to the hand of the owner.The tin had lost all its original markings.But its first load had probably been sardines (沙丁鱼)．Later the tin had been left with other rubbish behind the refugee camp clinic，and the boy had found it on one of his daily expeditions(探险) into the “big world”．For thousands of refugee children，a tin like this rates high on their list of wants.It can be used for many purposes，as jewellery (珠宝)，as a toy，for drinking or as a medicine box.Many refugee children would consider it the happiest day of their lives if they received a handful of marbles(弹珠) as a present.They dream of gifts which children in developed countries take for granted.Maybe a book to read，or a pencil and an exercise book of their very own.Their imagination can create toys，but it cannot create books.Someone else must provide them.A more costly and valuable gift they cannot imagine.语篇解读本文是一篇故事。

Unit 2 Working the land课时作业Ⅰ.阅读理解(2018·江西省上饶市三模)Cotton farmers in some Indian villages are busily buying Coca－Cola and Pepsi，believing that the sugar in the fizzy(有泡沫的)drinks kills pests.Farmers say scientists advised them to mix pesticides with a sugary juice to control pests，and they found the mixture cheaper and more effective than pure chemicals－although soft drink makers and scientists dismissed the remarks.N.Hamunayya，who has become a famous person in his village in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh，said his crop survived an attack of pests which had resisted other pesticides.“We found that all the colas had uniform effect on pests.The pests became dead and fell to the ground，”he said.He said the drinks had all the elements they needed：they were cheaper，sticky，fizzy，and attracted ants，which ate the young of the pests.But Thinupathi Reddy，assistant director of the Regional Agri－Research Station，Guntur，says tests had proved such results wrong.“We conducted some field trials on cotton crop at o ur research station.There was no obvious productivity or destruction of pests，”he says.Statements from Pepsi and Coca－Cola said there was “no scientific basis”for this_practice.But their dealers are enjoying increasing sales.Mantan Wall，who sells soft drinks in 17 villages in the region，said sales rose up，thanks to the farmers.“For the 10 days between August and September I had successful business.Instead of just 30 cases(each containing a dozen one－litre bottles)of cola，I started selling almost 200 cases，”he said.“We expected the sales to drop after the news over pesticide residues(残留)in the cola drinks.Now I have to keep extra supply for the cotton farmers，”he said.In February，an Indian environment group made a report saying drinks made by Coca －Cola and Pepsi contained pesticides and called for tougher safety standards.The U．S firms strongly rejected the findings of the New Delhi－based Centre for Scienceand Environment and said their products were safe.【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。

Unit 2 Working the landⅠ.阅读理解A[2020·沈阳市高三教学质量监测(三)]China is a large producer and consumer of rice. But, as a result of climate change, the amount of land available for rice growing in the country is shrinking. The concern has motivated scientists led by Yuan Longping, known as “the father of hybrid rice\〞， to look for new ways of growing the grain.Now they're celebrating successful efforts to grow rice —in sand and seawater. Rice is traditionally grown in soil and fresh water. Starting from January, according to the official Xinhua News Agency, the scientists have grown dozens of varieties of rice in the deserts of Dubai. They experimented with seawater because it is easier to obtain in the desert than fresh water.China is not the only country facing the issue of overly salty soil. Around the world, there are around 2.35 billion acres of highly saline(含盐的) land. And the number is increasing because of rising sea levels and climate change.“Probably only a small part of the world's saline land could be b rought into production with seawater rice, but that would still have a very important effect on food security，\〞Even R. Pay, a senior analyst, said.Yuan told Xinhua that one of the varieties of rice grown in Dubai produced over three tons, per acre, which Yuan said was beyond expectations.Rice is the basic food in many parts of the world. About 90% of rice consumption is from Asia, but demand in Africa and Latin America is on the rise.A climate change researcher said the successful experiment could potentially benefit many countries. “This is a fantastic development, which is likely to have a good effect on agricultural resource and water－poor countries, particularly in North Africa region.\〞Even though the cost of growing salttolerant rice is still hig h, it will also have strategic value once it's commercialized.1．What has caused the scientists to find new ways of growing rice?A．The increase of rice consumers.B．The high cost of rice producing.C．The land shortage of rice growing.D．The severe pollution of fresh water.2．Yuan's team have successfully grown rice in sand and seawater in ________.A．China B．DubaiC．Latin America D．North Africa3．What can be inferred from the text?A．About 90% of the rice is demanded and consumed in China.B．The production of a new type of rice is larger than expected.C．The increase of saline land is mainly caused by climate change.D．Seawater is used in the experiment because it is cheaper to gain.4．What is the author's attitude to the rice－growing experiment?A．Doubtful. B．Positive.C．Critical. D．Disappointed.B[2020·辽宁省五校协作体高三上学期联考]In a long－sleeved shirt and jeans, Dieudonne Twahirwa looks nothing like the traditional African farmer. The 30－year －old owner of Gashora Farm knows what a difference that makes.“You need more role models，\〞 he said, standing among knee－high rows of chilli (辣椒) plants. “If you have young farmers, they have land and they drive to the farm, others may think，‘Why can't I do that？’〞Mr. Twahirwa, a university graduate, bought a friend's tomato farm six years ago for $150. He made $1,500 back in two months.“You have to link farming with entrepreneurship and real numbers，\〞 he said.Many young Africans are abandoning areas in the countryside, choosing not to work hard and for a long time in the fields — a job made tougher by climate change.But Twahirwa is one of the growing band of successful farmers working to make agriculture's image on the continent more attractive. Some 1,000 farmers now produce chillies for him. He is starting a fourth farm of his own, and exports fresh anddried chillies and oil to Britain, the United States, India, and Kenya.Africa has the world's youngest population and 65 percent of its uncultivated arable land(耕地后备资源). Yet accessing land and loans is difficult, and African productivity is low with crop yields just 56 percent of the international average.“Agriculture is mainly associated with suffering and no young person wants to suffer，〞 said Tamara Kaunda. She believes African agriculture needs a change to get rid of its old－fashioned image of very hard and tiring work with a hoe. “Show young people tractors, green fields, nice irrigation systems and smartphones，\〞she said.Getting young people involved in agriculture does not mean they have to work on a farm. For example, in coffee production, the beans go from the farm to the washing station, then to be separated from the husks(外壳)．5．What does “Why can't I do that？\〞 in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Why can't I drive to the farm?B．Why can't they farm?C．They follow the example of those farmers.D．They bought a friend's tomato farm.6．What makes it harder for farmers to work?A．Poor land. B．Climate.C．Low income. D．Long working hours.7．What can we learn about Twahirwa according to Paragraph 5?A．He made a fortune by growing chillies.B．His chillies are superb in the world.C．Farmers working for him live a simple life.D．The locals aren't willing to buy his chillies.8．When it comes to agriculture in Africa, what do people think about it?A．Loans are difficult.B．Most land is uncultivated.C．Crop yields are rather low.D．Farming methods are out of date.Ⅱ.七选五[2020·西安五校联考]After a long day at work, coming home is a breath of fresh air.

This Ms Boyle, looking unfashionable, from a village in Scotland, shocked the three judges and the audience with the song I dreamed a dream from the musical Les Miserables on a show of Britain's Got Talent, one of the hottest reality shows in Britain.She couldn't hide the awkwardness when walking to the center of the stage in a housedress, and everyone—including the judges—seemed laughing at her when she said she wanted to be as successful as Elaine Paige. As soon as she began singing, however, everyone in the auditorium fell silent, then rose within seconds to applaud her in credible voice as the celebrity judges sat openmouthed, and remained standing to the end.After her performance, one of the judges Piers Morgan said，“Without doubt that was the biggest surprise I've had in three years of this show. When you stood there everyone was laughing at you.No one is laughing now. That was amazing.”Actress Amanda Holden followed，“I'm so thrilled because I know that we every body were against y ou.I honestly think that we were all being very cynical(愤世嫉俗的) and I think that's the biggest wakeup call ever.”Susan obviously won over the hearts of millions around the world with sensation spreading across the Atlantic. Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore—who between them have nearly 1.5 million followers—speak highly of her. Kutcher posted a link to the video clip(片段). The Scottish talent made her live American debut via satellite connection on CBS's The Early Show, doing an interview and singinglive from her room. And she already accepted an invitation from talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey.Now Boyle has become one of the world's hottest celebrities. The video clip of her performance has been viewed more than 50 million times on Youtube, becoming a hit on the Internet.16．We learn from the passage that Susan Boyle ________．A．rose from a low social classB．had an unhappy marriageC．lived with a dog alon e on a farmD．won the championship in the Britain's Got Talent show17．At the beginning of the show, almost everybody ________．A．looked forward to her wonderful performanceB．was attracted by her beautiful dressC．looked down upon herD．placed great hope on her18．We can infer that ________ contributed most to her global popularity.A．the judges B．the InternetC．the newspaper D．the advertisement19．The 4th paragrap h is intended to tell us ________．A．how Susan Boyle achieved her successB．the comment made by American actor Ashton KutcherC．Susan Boyle's influence in the USAD．Oprah Winfrey's invitation to Susan BoyleBThe class of eighth grade at a Los Angeles middle school tap their rulers and nod their heads to the rhythm of the rap video shown on a screen. Their algebra teacher, LaMar Queen, uses rhyme to help them memorize seemingly difficult items to improve their grades.Queen, 26, is now known at Los Angeles Academy Middle School as the rap teacher, but his fame has spread beyond the 2，200student school in this neighborhood. He'swon a national award and shown teachers and parents how to use rap to teach children.“Math is a bad word for many students, but if we put it in a form that kids enjoy, they'll learn，” Queen said. “Rap is what the kids respond to.They don't have a problem memorizing the songs at all.”Queen's math rap came about by chance. Two months after starting at LA Academy, he was frustrated when kids said his class was boring. They thought that he looked like the singer Kanye West, so they challenged him to rap.Queen has been rapping since the seventh grade. With his students' challenge on his mind, he pushed aside work on his lesson plans and wrote a rap song Slope Intercept.Word of his rapping soon reached the school's main office. Principal Maria Borges went to look into it, and came out smiling.“It interests the kids，” she said.“Kids seem to know all the rap songs, and it's helpful for them to remember math rules.” “Some kids who aren't even in Mr Queen's class go ar ound singing his songs，” said Kejon Closure, 13, who went from a Caverage to an A.In the raps, Queen defines a math concept and works through sample problems step by step. He keeps a relaxed manner when singing with his students. Queen also tries to insp ire them. His lyrics tell students “to get As on your papers”，and “to be respectful and listen to your parents”．Sometimes the students appear in the videos as a reward for good grades and behavior.20．According to the passage, LaMar Queen has been ________ since he began to teach students at Los Angeles Academy.A．a popular teacher B．a music teacherC．a mathematics teacher D．a famous singer21．LaMar Queen has won a national award because ________．A．he is good at composing rap songsB．his new musical production was shown on TVC．he created a unique teaching method in mathD．he gave students a lot of confidence22．We can infer from the last paragraph but one that ________．A．Queen's teaching method has been well received by both the principal and the studentsB．Queen makes math easy and tries to inspire his students in the rapC．Queen is willing to help the students who are not good at mathD．Principal Maria Borges doesn't think it a goo d way to teach math by rapping 23．This passage may be taken from China Daily in the column of ________．A．society B．educationC．entertainment D．biographyⅢ.短文填词Last weekend, our school organized a social activity.

B(2017·烟台高考适应性练习一)Minu Pauline, an Indian restaurant owner, put an unlocked fridge outside her shop, filled with free fresh meals for the homeless 24 hours a day, every day.“I have often seen the homeless and the hungry, especially the aged, dig through garbage bins behind my kitchen for some leftovers to satisfy their stomach, and it really hurts me，” Minu said. So she came up with the brilliant idea, allowing hungry people to take what they need without the shame of having to beg. She named the fridge “Tree of Goodness”. Minu makes sure the fridge is always stocked with about 50 packets of freshlycooked food from her restaurant.Minu insists that the fridge is not a design to boost sales at her restaurant. On the contrary, she discourages customers from buying food at her restaurant to leave in the fridge. “This is not a campaign to make people invest more in charity; the idea is to donate what you already have. If you have extra food either at home or when you eat out, come and drop it in this refrigerator，” siad Minu. She has only one request —that people should write the date on the packets they leave behind to ensure that the food is fresh.The project isn't something Minu wants to claim as her own. Instead, she wants it to become a community activity, a movement that will spread across the city —at other restaurants, homes, and anywhere else where there's a chance of food going to waste.In the short time that the fridge has been running, dozens of needy people line up to collect free meals every day. People have been leaving food in it too —about 200 to 300 packets find their way into the fridge every single day. That is quite a significant contribution from the locals.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了一家印度饭店老板Minu Pauline为救济一些无家可归的挨饿者，在自家饭店外面放置了一台未上锁的冰箱。
