阅读强化训练(十五)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解George Watford works at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(ASPCA)in New York City.He gets some unusual phone calls.One day，he got a call about a mountain lion living in a small building.“We didn’t believe it，” Watford said.“But when we went out there，sure enough，there was a mountain lion sitting at the front window looking out at us.”The big cat’s owner knew that his neighbors were unhappy about the animal.He didn’t try to stop us taking it away.In one year，the ASPCA took in 9，459 different animals，not counting cats and dogs.That number includes a lot of rabbits and monkeys，but the ASPCA has also taken many other exotic(外来的)pets from people’s homes.These animals can’t be set free into the wild because they wouldn’t survive.The ASPCA tries to find homes for them in zoos or special areas for animals.It’s against the law to sell wild animals in New York City.Many buildings don’t even allow dogs and cats，not to mention more exotic animals.Still，the ASPCA takes away most of the exotic animals not because of complaints(怨言)，but because the pet’s owner needs help.A lovely baby lion or bear will finally grow up to be dangerous.“When they bite(咬人)，it isn’t because they hate you.It’s because they’re wild animals，”said exotic animal expert Kathi Travers.Travers is quick to give speeches against raising wild animals as pets.Too often people think that caring for a wild animal is the same as caring for a dog or a cat.“To love an animal is not enough，” Travers said.“There has to be respect(尊重)，and respect is not taking an animal，sticking it in a little cage，and expecting the animal to be happy.”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

阅读强化训练(八)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解A fresh and gentle wind on your face，soft sand under your feet and blue waters as far as the eye can see.Is there any other Olympic sport that is played in such pleasant conditions as beach volleyball?“I’ve gone to a lot of beautiful places，and met a lot of beautiful people.That wouldn’t have happened if I had been playing another sport，” said Randy Stoklos, America’s famous beach volleyball player.The sport began as a four－a－side game on beaches in Southern California in the 1920s.The first recorded two－man game took place there in 1930，and the first tournament was held in Los Angeles 18 years later.The winners were awarded a case of Pepsi.In the 1950s，women started playing and the sport soon spread to Europe and South America.Yet at that time，beach volleyball was more an entertainment show than a sport，with beauty contests included.The Association of Volleyball Professionals was founded in 1983 and beach volleyball developed into a fast，athletic sport.Its world－wide popularity won beach volleyball a place at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta，where 24 male teams and 16 female teams took part.At present，the U．S. and Brazil are the best in the world at beach volleyball.The game came to China in the early 1990s and there have been national tournaments since 1994.It became an official event at the Eighth National Games in 1997.China’s You Wenhui and Wang Lu finished ninth in the women’s beach volleyball world championships in Brazil.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了沙滩排球的历史。

阅读强化训练(一)[学生用书P141(单独成册)](建议用时：15分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解Friends are very important in our lives.Everyone needs friends.Ifyou don’t have friends，you’ll feel lonely.However，some people don’t try to build the friendships they’d like to have.Why?Some people don’t build friendships because they think they haveno time for that.Today many people live a very busy life，so it’s not strange that some people don’t think they have time for friendships.However，this is wrong.You should know that if you really want to do something，you can spare time for it，no matter how busy you are.My friend Tom used to think he had no time to build friendships.He was working almost all the time.However，one day，he realized that he didn’t have any friends in the city and became scared.He didn’t want to be lonely in the future.He decided to make a change.He didn’t bring home as much work as before.Instead，he went to a gym and started working out there.He not only became healthier，but also made some friends there.Some people don’t try to make friends because the idea of making new friends is scary to them.They’re afraid people will refuse to make friends with them.If someone does reject to make friends with you，it doesn’t mean that you’re useless or unlovable.Maybe they’re having a bad day.Ma ybe they don’t know you well.Or maybe they’re not a nice person.If you’ve been turned down by someone before，don’t think others will do the same to you.My friend David was afraid of making new friends，too，because he didn’t want to be turned down by others.But later he found some people were really nice. Slowly he made some good friends.Now he is no longer afraid of talking to new people and believes he can make more friends.So all you have to do is to believe you’ll make more friends and spare time for it.【解题导语】朋友对于我们每一个人来说都很重要，所以我们要去交一些朋友。

阅读强化训练(十五)[学生用书P171(单独成册)](建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解In a small home garden, about 1.5 meters wide and 3 meterslong, a robotic device called the Farm Robot is busy plantingvegetable seeds. The Farm Robot will control the soil’s moisture(水分), water the seeds and plants，and take out any wild plants orweeds.Rory Aronson is the inventor of the Farm Robot and CEO of the company that produces it. But who would find the device helpful?“Our target customer is somebody who would like to grow his own food but doesn’t have time.”Aronson says he has been testing the Farm Robot in his garden. “We had peppers, spinach and tomatoes. We also had broccoli and cucumber. We had 65 plants in total and this was a big number.”To survive in extreme weather, the Farm Robot is made of stainless steel(不锈钢) and 3D printed plastic.The tools are designed to plant, water and care for each vegetable. They are attached to a long, thin stick that moves up and down the garden. Aronson says putting the Farm Robot together takes about a few hours. “If you can use a screwdriver(螺丝刀) and follow instructions, you should be able to put the Farm Robot together by yourself.” The Farm Robot works with Internet programs and can design a garden based on each person’s needs. Its software is open source. That means the computer program that makes it work can be freely used, changed and shared by anyone.Hundreds of people have already ordered the Farm Robot online. They can expect to receive their devices soon. The cost of the Farm Robot is $3，100. For now, it is only one size. But the company is planning to make bigger Farm Robots for commercial gardening.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

阅读强化训练阅读强化训练(一)(建议用时：15分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解A British scientist whose schoolmasters told him he was toostupid to study the subject has been awarded the Nobel Prizein medicine or physiology for his pioneering work on cloning.At the age of 15, Sir John Gurdon ranked last out of the250 boys at biology, and was in the bottom set in every otherscience subject.His master，Mr.Gaddum, was in fact a museumcurator(解说员) by profession who had been hired to teach the lowestachieving pupils and was not in fact a particularly effective teacher.Though he had heard Gurdon was interested in doing science, he thought this was a completely ridiculous idea because there was no hope whatever of Gurdon doing science.After receiving the report, Sir John said he switched his attention to classics and was offered a place to study at Christ Church, Oxford, but was allowed to switch courses and read zoology instead because of a mix up in the admissions office.It was at Oxford as a postgraduate student that he published his famous research on genetics and proved for the first time that every cell in the body contains the same genes.He did so by taking a cell from an adult frog’s intestine(肠), removing its genes and implanting them into an egg cell, which grew into a clone of the adult frog.Different from the previous studies by much more senior scientists，his idea was controversial(引起争议的) at the time and it was a decade before the thengraduate student’s work became widely accepted.But it led directly to the cloning of Dolly the Sheep by Prof Ian Wilmut in ter on Prof Yamanaka found adult cel ls can be “reprogrammed” into stem cells for use in medicine.Sir John professed to be unaware of the cash prize that awaits，but said he would most likely invest it in a fund he has previously set up to support PhD students during their fourth year of study.【解题导语】获得过诺贝尔生理学或医学奖的英国科学家约翰·格登的生物课成绩曾经在250名同年龄的男生中排最后一名，在其他科学类学科中成绩也都垫底，但是他没有放弃，最后取得了杰出的成绩。

阅读强化训练(十四)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解A warm smile, a quick hello, an offer of directions or perhaps maybe a place to stay. The kindness of strangers is one of my fondest experiences and memories from my travels.When arriving in Slovenia from Croatia just before dark, I made a line to my hotel on the map, thinking I could easily find it. After walking around in circles for what felt like hours, I approached(靠近) a bus driver and tried to explain where I was heading. After a few failed tries because of our different languages, he signaled to me to get on the bus and took me to my hotel free of charge.Once again, I got lost in Turkey. After almost running my rental car empty, luck would have it that I found a gas station and another kind person. The young cashier did not speak a word of English, but pulled his phone out and opened a translation app(应用软件). We managed to have a whole conversation of broken English/Turkish. I even wrote “tesekkür ederim” (thank you) and if his kindness hadn’t already melted(软化) my heart, his smile certainly did!And finally, my favorite act of kindness: My husband and I had just boarded a bus heading from Nice to Menton in France. A lady sitting across from us noted our accents and upon finding out that we had traveled all the way from New Zealand, stood up and offered us her window seat. We kindly refused. But she insisted, “There is nothing quite like watching the sunset over the ocean on the French Riviera.” Not only did h er kindness take me by surprise, we got to see one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.Strangers owe(欠) you nothing. Their acts of kindness show you that the world is an amazing place. So, enjoy the kindness of strangers and the unexpected human connections they bring.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

阅读强化训练(四)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解Insects(昆虫) are very healthy food. They have almost as much protein(蛋白质) as meat from a pig or cow and are low in fat. Eating insects is also very good for the environment since they need less land and water than larger animals.Marcel Dicke, who studies insects, explained in a talk how insects also produce more meat from the food they eat. For example, imagine a farmer feeds a cow 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce about 1 pound of meat for people to eat. However, imagine the farmer gives a certain number of insects 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce 9 pounds of meat for people to eat!Eating more insects can also help people in poor areas. Many people can raise and sell insects, which can provide jobs and food.But insects will not replace animal meat very quickly. First, people in some countries should have to change how they think about eating insects. Many people in North America and Europe eat a lot of meat like beef and pork. But they do not traditionally eat insects. In fact, for many people in the west, eating insects sounds crazy! They believe insects are dirty and dangerous. Insects make them feel uncomfortable.Some people are trying to deal with this problem. For example, David George Gordon wrote a book named The Eat－A－Bug Cookbook, which tries to show people that insects can be delicious. Other insect experts travel around telling people about the benefits of eating insects. But they still have a lot of work to do.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

1 牛津译林版高中英语必修2阅读强化训练阅读强化训练(一)(建议用时：15分钟)Ⅰ 阅读理解A group of scientists in the Netherlands recently used high －tech methods to examine a secret hidden inside an ancient Chinese statue(雕像). It was sent to the Drents Museum in the northeastern Netherlands as part of an exhibit. But while working on the statue, researchers took the chance to study the body of a Buddhist monk(佛僧) inside it.The statue was shipped to a medical center for CT scans, which are tests that produce X －ray pictures. Scientists used the technology to find out the statue’s hidden secrets. The body of the monk was sitting on top of a roll of cloth marked with Chinese characters(字). The cloth shows that the monk was named Liu Quan and lived around the year 1100.“On the outside, it looked like a large statue of Buddha，” said Vincent van Vilsteren from the Drents Museum. “What flabbergasted me was that, on the inside, it was the mummy(干尸) of a Buddhist monk. Later we learned that for the first 200 years, the mummy was probably placed in a Buddhist temple. Only in the 14th century did they do all the work to move it into a nice statue.”Researchers at the Drents Museum still have a lot of questions about the mummy. It is believed to be the only Chinese Buddhist mummy that has been studied outside Asia. Scientists hope that DNA testing on the mummy will help them learn more about it. Further research may dig up more information about the monk in the months to come.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

I visited the gallery recently. Frank Costin who is the owner and director of Savannah Gallery was so helpful and friendly and shared the history behind some of the art in the gallery. I was fascinated by a piece of art by Victor Hempel and the story behind it.“Two years ago, this talented sculptor(雕塑家) found an almond tree floating in the salt pond of Sandy Ground. He saw possibilities with his gifted eyes and pulled the tree back to his boat and workshop. This spring, after being exhibited in the St. Barth’s art exhibition, it arrived in the gallery. There’s not a single wall in this gallery that can fit its 11 feet height！” Frank said. After a couple of days, he hoisted(吊起) it up and placed it in the gallery’s front room. “It’s an amazing sculpture, and it’s titled Greeting the Morning Sun. It is truly a great work of this sculptor，” Frank said. I agree with Frank. I think it is simply beautiful and I love the story behind it.There are many other beautiful pieces of art in the gallery. It was nice to walk slowly from room to room and picture in my mind that Anguillan families once lived and loved in the tiny rooms of the gallery. I then went out on the back porch and was watched by some cats. As Frank explained, he is allergic(过敏的) to cats, but he feeds the cats and they never come too close. He benefits because they keep the mice away and they benefit as they are fed daily.It was a lovely visit and I will be sure to visit during the year to see what1。

阅读强化训练(七)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解How many sports stars can you name? Whether it’s ten or thirty, I believe that 90% of them would be male(男性). Even in today’s society, which calls for gender equality(男女平等), it seems that female sports stars simply don’t get the same coverage(报道) as male players.The World Cup is the most widely followed sporting event in the world. According to a report, almost 715 million people watched the final match of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, a ninth of the whole population of the planet. But how many people notice the fact that the FIFA Women’s World Cup has just taken place in Canada? The U．S. team was the winner, after beating the Japanese team 5－2 in the final match. England even got a third place! However, the Englan d team in the men’s World Cup seldom runs to the quarter－finals. While the World Cup enjoys prime－time on most BBC channels, the FIFA Women’s World Cup is put aside. The only time the media(媒体) made the news was when an English player scored an own goal!T he inequality doesn’t end with football. Just recently, Caroline Wozniacki(a top Danish tennis player) complained that women don’t get the same chance as men to play on the show courts at Wimbledon. In this case, I think it’s the luck of the draw—the further you get in the competition, the more likely you are to play on the show courts. In the opening stages, it is true that often only the best players will play their matches on the show courts. Women’s tennis does get lots of coverage, though many complain that it isn’t exciting to watch.Many people think the women’s sport is often paid less attention to, but I thinkthis is slowly starting to change. In the UK, there is a campaign called “This Girl Can”， which aims to get girls and women back into sports, regardless of(不管) their age, shape or sporting ability. Hopefully this campaign will encourage more people to take up and enjoy sports, and help to reduce(减少) the nation’s health problems.【解题导语】女子运动不受重视吗？作者认为这一现象开始慢慢改变了。

Just three minutes extra at a familymealtime could help prevent child obesity. Research found that amongpoor families，the extra minutes at mealtimes made great improvementof a normal weight for the youth. The factors are likely to becommunication and the importance of a scheduled mealtime.Dr Barbara Fiese said，“Children，whose families have a 20minute meal over four times a week，weigh less than kids who leave the table after 15 to 17 minutes. Over time，those extra minutes per meal add up and become really powerful.”The researchers studied 200 family mealtimes，testing the effects of factors and mealtime behavior of families with children in primary school. They found that families，who said that shared mealtimes were an important part of family life and had special meaning for them，were less likely to have an obese child. Similarly，families，who talked more together and interacted more positively during the meal，were more likely to have healthyweight children.Teaching lowincome families how to make the most of family mealtimes was a wise ideA．Dr Fiese said，“This is something we can target and teach.”She added，“It’s also important to recognize the increasing differences of families and their sometimes complex living arrangements that may challenge their abilities to plan ahead and arrange a single time to communicate with each other.”Families in poorer US neighborhoods faced a lot of problems，including poor access to healthy food. But even so，regular high quality family mealtimes made a difference to the children’s weight. Dr Fiese said，“Three to four extra minutes per meal made a healthy weight more likely.”【解题导语】吃饭时适当延长进食时间到20分钟对孩子们有好处，可保持健康预防肥胖。

阅读强化训练(七)[学生用书P147(单独成册)](建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解Living a healthy lifestyle lies in forming the right eating habits. Here are some of the good habits you can develop when it comes to healthy eating.Drink plenty of water. You must drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. You may need even more water if you are in a hot environment or if you are exercising.Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A recent study has shown that those who eat breakfast will consume an average of 100 calories less during the day than their colleagues(同事) who skip breakfast. They will also be able to concentrate better.Don’t skip lunch. If you do so, your blood sugar level will drop and your metabolism(新陈代谢) will slow down. When you get home you are starving and eat everything you can find.We all need to snack from time to time, but please choose your snacks carefully. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks besides your three main meals. Choose healthy snacks like fruits, low fat yogurt, cottage cheese with apple sauce.Eat your fruits and vegetables. We should eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Take a piece of fruitfor a snack, add some bananas and raisins to your favourite breakfast cereal(谷类食品), have a salad for lunch, and eat at least one vegetable at dinner each night.Do not eat your dinner too late. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8 hours. Plan dinner for the week ahead of time and make sure you have everything you need in the house so other family members can get a head start on dinner if you have a late meeting at the office.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

I believe that when he is an adult he will surely lookback on her as the best teacher he has ever had.My son has attention deficit disorder(注意力缺损症) that makes it a little more difficult for him to learn.She was able to change her teaching methods for him so that he could keep up with the rest of the class. As a result，he got straight As on many subjects. She regarded her class as a family and they even had their own class song. She would often have them sing it to encourage them and develop a team spirit for them. When she saw that they were no longer listening carefully to what she was teaching，she would have them close their textbooks，stand up all around the room and throw around a small football. This helped them clear their minds and then focus on the lesson again.Besides，she was quick to reply to any phone calls or emails from us and got rid of our worries about children quickly.When my son went to the 5th grade this year，we happened to pass her classroom.When she saw my son，her face lit up and she came out and hugged him.She generally loves all of the children in her classroom and that love really shows.I can only pray that my son will continue to get teachers just like her for the rest of his school years.【解题导语】作者在本文中主要介绍了自己的儿子有注意力缺损症，幸运的是他遇到了一位好老师，这位老师用一种很巧妙的方法可以让儿子集中注意力。

阅读强化训练(十二)[学生用书P152(单独成册)](建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解From online newspapers to ereaders(电子阅读器) to social media, the Internet has had a deep effect on the ways people read for information and pleasure. However, research also shows that it has changed the depth of reading abilities. The Internet has not just changed what people read, but the ways they process and use the information, leading to both positive and negative consequences for Americans’reading skills.If you’ve ever got a headache when reading pages filled with texts or felt like you couldn’t focus when reading a simple paragraph, the Internet may have affected your attention. According to Nicholas Carr of The Atlantic, it actually may have changed your brain. Carr’s article “Is Google Making Us Stupid” reports a widespread decrease in people’s abilities to carefully read and understand texts. Instead of focusing on the overall meaning of an article, people are likely to search for key words by reading the text quickly. This could possibly lead to weaker reading comprehension skills for students.Although the results of studies are different, the National Endowment for the Arts reports a relationship between the lack of time students spend reading for pleasure and decreased(降低的) reading scores. Their report “To Read or Not to Read” revealed that more than half of people aged 18 to 24 don’t read for fun and that people in the same age group are more likely to spend money on entertainment than books. In possible consequence, overall reading test scores are down nationwide, with only 5 percent of students testing at skilled levels.While some studies show that social media and texting have had a harmful effect on students’ language use, some studies show that these activities might actually be improving their skills. Researchers at Coventry University selected a group of 9and 10yearolds who did not text and had them perform reading and spelling tests before and after texting ove r a 10day period. The results revealed an improvement in test scores that could be linked to texting use. These studies showed that students seem to gain valuable writing practice from online communication.【解题导语】本文介绍的是不同的有关因特网和电子阅读对美国人阅读能力的正面或负面的影响的研究成果。

The warm－up events in support of the Games have been highly successful.Our city is welcoming over 900 athletes, coaches and family members to York Region for the Games, which are part of many Special Olympics events, in which 35，000 people across Canada are competing.Mayor(市长) Frank Scarpitti，City of MarkhamDear Ontario Special Olympics，Dylan Eisner is a special needs student at North Lambton Secondary School in Forest, Ontario. He couldn’t climb the stairs at North Lambton before he began training with the cross－country team. He is working very hard on his running. He took part in the 2015 season and completed the races in SWOSSA and OFSAA.His family, friends, running mates, coaches and all the staff felt proud of what he had achieved. One of Dylan’s goals is to someday be a player at the Special Olympics, which is especially help for people with intellectual(智力的) disabilities.Dylan was a special guest at the Lake Smith Conservationists Yearly Dinner thisyear. The Lake Smith Conservationists, a local environmental organization, decided to give a donation of $1，000 to the Special Olympics in honor of the young runner’s achievements. They hope that the money will be used to help players like Dylan achieve their dreams.Yours truly，Lake Smith ConservationistsMember Dianne Russell【解题导语】本文是一篇应用文。

姓名，年级：时间：单元过关检测（二)（时间：100分钟,满分：120分）第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

AIn 2013， Harris Academy, a school in south London， stopped its students from using slang（俚语) words, such as ain’t. The move led to an argument over whether it is necessary to control the way students speak.The creation of slang is one way languages change. Slang， or informal language，usually changes more rapidly than standard language。

For example, the word “groovy”, meaning “great”， used to be very popular in the 1960s and 1970s. But by 1980， people had stopped using it。

One important reason we use slang is to show others that we belong to a group。

Another is to communicate an idea in a more colorful or humorous way. For example，the phrase jump ship creates a stronger image（形象) than the more standard leave an organization。
