课时作业(二) Unit 1 Section ⅡGrammar——虚拟语气(一)Ⅰ.阅读理解AI didn't know how to say no, and was afraid to tell people what I wanted. Instead, I got myself tangled (纠结的) in a web of obligations, anxiety, and white lies.The worst thing was that I didn't even realize what I was doing. I thought I knew how to say “no”— but couldn't remember the last time I had. Like a lot of people, I just wanted to be accepted, appreciated, loved—and that the only way to get those things was to put everyone else's needs before my own.I never seemed to have time for things I really wanted to do. I'd like to learn Spanish, write more fiction, and travel. These aren't huge, unrealistic goals. And yet, my peoplepleasing ways dramatically cut into my free time to pursue these desires.But recently, I decided I'd had enough. As an experiment, I began standing up for myself, even at the risk of alienating (使疏远) myself from everyone and having my entire life come crashing down around me. Several days ago, a good friend asked me to go for coffee at 5 p. m. I was planning to hit the gym and then binge—watch Mad Men for the millionth time. I said, “Sorry, I've got things I want to do tonight. ” She said, “That's fine. Maybe another time.” It was all so painfully simple that I wanted to cry.Sayi ng “no” is so much easier. If someone asks me to do something I have zero interest in, I'm polite but honest. “I'm sorry, I don't think that's really for me.” The words slip out my mouth faster than some other lame excuses.Learning how to say “no” has add ed several extra hours to my days, days to my weeks, and what feels like months to my years. I no longer have to backburner my plans to help friends with their job search, or set aside a weekend to read a book draft by someone I barely know. Saying “no” h as set me free.1.Why was the author afraid of saying “no”?A.She didn't want to tell lies.B.She wanted to make more friends.C. She wanted to please everyone.D. She was always willing to help others.2.What was the bad point of being afraid of saying “no”?A.She alienated many friends.B.She was kept busy all day long.C.She felt depressed now and then.D.She had no time for her own hobbies.3.What was her friend's reaction when she said “no” to her?A.Angry. B.Painful.C.Natural. D.Disappointed.4.How did the author f eel after she had learnt to say “no”?A.Relaxed. B.Lonely.C.Confident. D.Lost.BBrain health is key to successful ageing,_and it involves several mental functions including memory, reasoning and planning. Memory defines who we are—without memorywe have no past, cannot plan for the future and are unable to enjoy the present. Our reasoning and planning skills help us create and maintain healthy lifestyle habits that protect our bodies and minds.People are living much longer than ever before. Those born in 1900 would have been lucky to reach their 50th birthday. Today, life expectancy in many countries exceeds 80, but unfortunately agerelated diseases such as Alzheimer's and diabetes can diminish quality of life.As we age, brain cells that normally fight off infection and repair tissue begin to attack healthy brain cells. This causes inflammation (炎症) and can lead to cognitive deficits and disease. But adopting healthy lifestyle habits, such as eating fish, getting a good night's sleep and doing physical exercise, can slow and even reverse the process.The typical 45yearold has worse memory than the 25yearold, and our brains will continue to decline if we do nothing to protect them. However, if we intervene (干预)early, we can slow the decline. It's always easier to protect a healthy brain than to try to repair damage once it is extensive.Although there is a genetic component to healthy ageing, lifestyle habits may be more critical than genes. The landmark MacArthur Studies of Successful Ageing showed t hat, on average, nongenetic factors are more important than genetics in determining how well and long we live, suggesting that we have more control than we realize over remaining healthy as we get older.5.What does the underlined word “ageing” mean in the first paragraph?A.The process of getting old.B.Mental functions.C.Life expectancy.D.Healthy lifestyle.6.What can we do to slow the decline of our brains?A.Enjoying the present.B.Staying in a good mood.C.Working as long as possible.D.Adopting healthy lifestyle habits.7.What does MacArthur Studies of Successful Ageing suggest?A.Agerelated diseases affect our quality of life.B.Genetic factors determine how well we live.C.We can do something to live better and longer.D.Sometimes we don't know how to keep healthy.8.What is the main idea of the text?A.Daily habits determine your longevity.B.You should protect your brains early.C.Good health results from right food.D.Body exercise also benefits mental health.Ⅱ.完形填空Cathy and I met a few days after I first arrived in China.

Nature is kind of a loving mother,but also a butcher in cold blood.-Victor Hugo For many years,human beings have been trying to conquer nature,but never succeeded.What's more,sometimes nature gets angry.It shows its power and teaches human beings different lessons by various means,such as earthquakes,floods,hurricanes,sandstorms,typhoons,droughts,landslides,tornadoes,volcanoes,and so on.Any of them can lead to terrible catastrophes.For example,on March 11,2011,a huge earthquake hit Japan,resulting in a terrible tsunami afterwards.Many cars,ships and buildings were swept away by a ten。

单元综合检测(六)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)AThe cost of living in countries like the United States, Britain, Australia or France has skyrocketed in recent years. But, if you're willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas, there are many countries boasting an extremely cheap and low cost of living.So, if you have the flexibility of living wherever you please, and want to live in a country the cost of living is the cheapest in the world, check out these 3 countries when planning your next move.CambodiaCambodia may not be the first country that comes to mind when you think of a tropical paradise, but it's pretty close.The added bonus is that living here is insanely cheap, unlike some other tropical getaways.A luxury home with four bedrooms and a pool would only cost about $600 a month.A decent three bedroom vacation home can be purchased here for just $20,000.And, for only about $2,000 a year, you can also hire a gardener and housekeeper to take care of your property.EcuadorEcuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result, it has become a popular American getaway.They even use the US Dollar for their currency.In this country, it's cheaper to eat out everyday than cook for yourself on a budget in the U.S.You can even buy a property for around 50,000 and hire someone to tend to it while you're away.MexicoAlthough the country is known for its poverty ridden streets, there are many wealthier areas that provide every amenity (便利设施) you might need.You can live off a mere $700 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, amenities, food, and any sightseeing.【语篇解读】近年来,生活在美国、英国、澳大利亚或法国等国的成本猛增。

Nobel did not say why he wanted to reward scientists who “made the most important discovery” during the previous year.One can guess that he wanted to reward present.day innovation and not to give tombstone awards to Galileo,Hippocrates,and other scientists from centuries past。

AIf you love adventure and excitement, then Erin Hunter's bestselling Warriors series is for you. The fantasy books follow four cat clans (家族) as they try to survivein the wilderness. In the latest book, Thunder Clan warrior Ashfur has been mysteriously murdered. This sets three warrior cats named Holly leaf, Lion blaze and Jay feather on a journey to find the killer.The three friends must deal with other problems, too. Jay feather is searching for his parents, but he must make up many lies to find them. Holly leaf encounters her own obstacles when her clan refuses to follow the warrior code. And Lion blaze discovers some unbelievable secrets. All the while, the cats face many dangers and the chance that another warrior will disappear forever.“Erin Hunter” is really a pen name for Victoria Holmes and two other authors, Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry. They chose Hunter to cover the three of them because of Redwall, a very successful book written by Brian Jacques. It is a similar animal fantasy about rats and mice. Because Warriors was going to fit into that bracket, they wanted their books to go onto the bookshelves next to his. So they needed a name that would be close to Jacques alphabetically (按字母排序地). Hunter fits perfectly.“My favorite character is Jay feather. You never know if he is on the side of the angels or not. He's got a quite dark side. In terms of the cat that I would like to be my best friend, that would be Cinderpelt. She is so cool. She has a great sense of humor and she is a good medicine cat. Even if she wanted to be a warrior, she will make the best of her destiny(命运). I really admire that in her,” said Victoria Holmes.21.The three warrior cats go on a journey mainly to ________.A.survive in the wildernessB.protect another warrior from disappearingC.find the killer that murdered AshfurD.look for some adventure and excitement22.From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.A.Jay feather likes to tell lies and is unreliableB.the warrior code of Holly leaf's clan is terribleC.the journey is not easy for the three catsD.there are lots of unbelievable secrets among the clans23.The underlined word“bracket” in the third paragraph most probably means “________”.A.range B.levelC.angle D.species24.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about Cinderpelt?A.She has a sense of humor.B.She is on the side of the angels.C.She makes the best of her destiny.D.She is a good medicine cat.B“I don't speak English”—these are the first words I learned when I came to America. Soon I was able to pronounce the four words clearly, and said them whenever an American tried to talk to me. This answer was very effective (有效的) at ending our conversation and saving me from another uncomfortable situation, or I would have to communicate in a language that I was not familiar with.Before coming to the States, I thought I knew English pretty well. But the truth is that the grammarbased and vocabularybased English that is taught in over seas (海外的) schools is not the English people speak in America.But fear not! Once you are in America, you can immediately begin to bridge thegap (弥补差距) between the learned English that you have already known, and the spoken English that is all around you. To do this, first of all, it is important not to fear when you realize that you may not be as prepared for daily communication as you thought. For me, as soon as I stopped worrying about my accent and started speaking, I made rapid progress. Often the people didn't notice my mistakes because they were so glad to finally be able to communicate with me.Another good idea is to listen carefully and pay attention to the way in which ideas are expressed. For example, if you are working hard and you want to stop working and rest for a little while, you can either say “I would like to stop working and rest for a while” or “I want to take a quick break from work”. The first sentence, I quickly learned, sounds dry and too formal for any kind of communication, while the second is an idiom (成语) that is widely used in American English conversation.Finally, use what you have already known—the vocabulary, the grammar and the spelling. Try to use these into the spoken language for more impressive and accurate (精确的) speaking results.25.What's the main idea of this passage?A.You'd better say “I don't speak English” in the USA.B.How you can improve your spoken English in the USA.C.Idioms are widely used to express your ideas in the USA.D.Listening is the best way to improve your spoken English in the USA.26.At first the writer preferred to use the sentence “I don't speak English” to ________.A.admit he is a foreignerB.save much time for himselfC.prevent himself from being laughed atD.avoid getting upset in communicating with others27.What's the problem with the English taught outside the Englishspeaking countries?A.It is quite different from what the natives speak.B.It is taught in boring and wrong grammar.C.It has nothing to do with English.D.It has a too small vocabulary.28.When did the writer make rapid progress in spoken English?A.As soon as he paid attention to the way Americans spoke.B.The minute he found what has been learned useless.C.The moment he got rid of the fear of speaking.D.Immediately he arrived in the USA.CIt's a story as old as love itself: Boy meets girl; boy accidentally shoots girl after mistaking her for a deer while high on drugs; girl falls in love with boy.Audrey Mayo says she had known Matthew Webb for a few weeks before he shot her in the leg and nearly killed her, but it was on that fateful day that they officially became a couple.Mayo, 24, and Webb, 23, both of LaFayette, Georgia, were hanging out on the roof of Webb's mom's house when Webb spotted some deer.He quickly grabbed his gun and headed into the woods. A short while later Mayo said she thought she heard Webb call out to her, asking her to bring him his knife.She walked across the street towards his location, and Webb mistook Mayo's movement for a deer and fired a single shot.The next thing Mayo knew, she woke up in a hospital bed with Webb sitting beside her.Audrey's mom Mary, who works as a nurse at another hospital, thought her daughter would die. Even surviving could mean permanent brain damage.Mary even let Matthew move in so he could help take care of Audrey during her recovery period.Though the family refuses to hold the incident against Webb, the local authorities are not so forgiving.
