Unit 1 A land of diversity Learning about language课时作业第一节阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

ALove, joy, and the warm feeling of pulling together to get through tough times don’t cost a thing. But gifts do cost money. So, what’s a poor family to do?When Christmas season rolled around again, I told my mother that the only thing I wanted was a pogo stick (弹簧单高跷). However，my mother told me they were too expensive and that we simply couldn’t afford one.On a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks before Christmas, my mom and dad told me we needed to go to Sears to pay our credit card bill. While my mother and I were at the counter paying the bill, my dad said，“I’ll be right back— I need to see something in the tool department.” A little later，my dad came back with a long box. I remember wondering at that very moment if it was a pogo stick in that box.When we arrived back at home, my dad put the box in the garage. While my parents were busy with their chores, I quietly walked out to the garage and found the box. I was so excited and I knew that as soon as I opened that magical box my bright, shiny pogo stick would appear. No such luck! Inside the box was a silly old broom. And so Christmas morning was both great and disappointing. I got some nice gifts but I didn’t get the present that I really wanted.After all the wrapping paper was cleaned up my dad said he needed to tend to something in the garage. When he came back in, he was carrying a beautiful pogo stick. I couldn’t believe it! My parents probably got quite a laugh from the trick they played on me.Although we didn9t have much money, my parents gave me the most important gift of all: lots of love. My dad worked hard to provide for us and my mother knew how to stretch a dollar. That was over 60 years ago and I still think about those wonderful Christmas memories every year during the holiday season. My parents were the best and I will never forget all the joy they brought into my life.1. Why did the author’s mother refuse to give him a pogo stick?A. They’re dangerous for kids to play with.B. She had already bought him another gift.C. They didn’t have enough money to buy one.D. He already had too many pogo sticks.2. How did the author probably feel before he opened the box?A. Hopeful.B. Disappointed.C. Amazed.D. Doubtful.3. What does the author think the most valuable gift he received from his parents was?A. Their unconditional love.B. His pogo stick.C. The ability to get through tough times.D. All the great memories of Christmas.【答案】BCBBThe start of the U.S. Atlantic hurricane season is just over two weeks away and forecasters are expecting particularly high activity this year. With warmer than usual conditions expected in the North Atlantic this summer，meteorologists (气象学者) have predicted that the season could produce eight or more hurricanes.While forecasters cannot predict how many hurricanes —if any — will make landfall, the potential for dangerous storms to strike the southern and eastern coasts brings an additional problem for authorities (专家) already struggling with the COVID-19.Experts say that the COVID-19 is affecting the capabilities of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other organizations involved in responding to natural disasters.Retired U-S. Army Lieutenant General Jeffrey Talley, who now leads global efforts on disaster management at IBM's Center for the Business of Government, said that with FEMA and other authorities engaged with responding to the COVID-19, resources will be limited if a hurricane strikes.“When we look at a disaster…I think of it in terms of how we prepare for，respond to and recover from those types of events，” Talley said “Right now we’re in the middle of the response of COVTD-19. None of us are really sure how long it's going to last and how the response to disasters is going to be different, say? two months from now, six months from now9 so on and so forth,” he said.According to Talley, the COVID-19 could complicate the response to a hurricane by interrupting the flow of emergency supplies to areas where they are urgently needed at key moments.Social distancing and stay-at-home orders will also force authorities along the south and east coast to rethink how they manage people who must leave their homes in the event of a disaster. While many states are already lifting some lockdown restrictions, social distancing will still be important for many months to come.4. According to Talley，how could COVID-19 influence the response to a hurricane?A. More people will leave home to fight against a hurricane.B. Rescue materials might not reach disaster areas sometimes.C. Lockdown can greatly reduce damage and injury.D. The pandemic (流行病) makes it harder to predict hurricanes.5. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. People throughout the country no longer need to stay at home.B. The state governments are confident about dealing with hurricanes.C. Authorities along the coasts will stick to the former orders.D. It is necessary to keep social distance in the coming months,6. What is the best title for the text?A. More Destructive Hurricanes to Be Expected.B. More Difficult to Forecast Hurricanes Coming.C. COVED-19 to Worsen Hurricane Response.D. Social Distancing Needed in Coming Months.【答案】BDCCIn the digital age, we rely on technology such as social media in trying to buildinteresting and varied lives. Social networking sites like Facebook are designed and promoted to make us believe enthusiastically that they are able to open up new experiences for us. There are constant notifications (通知）and updates，urging us to check-in to find out what is new.But if we do not use the technology wisely, we can end up becoming overly attached and trapped in a cycle of social media FOMO, a sign of deeper unhappiness. FOMO, or fear of missing out，is a fear that exciting or interesting events are happening somewhere else and that we are not able to take part.People who experience high levels of FOMO have been found to be more likely to give in to urges to write and check text messages while driving, as well as to use Facebook more often directly after waking, while going to sleep and during meals.When it comes to lasting happiness, it is best not to give in to FOMO, but rather to deal with the cycle of desires that fuel it. Hard as it is, we are better off working toward facing the fearful reality that we cannot experience everything we might like than to get caught in a cycle of checking behaviors that only cause anxiety.If we have become used to using social media as part of our attempts at living interesting lives, we must admit that it is not easy to change our approach. But change is almost always worthwhile in the long run.The fact that FOMO is so common in our digital age is a sign that there is something wrong with the way we are pursuing happiness and that we are not as happy as we might think we are. It should warn us that, in our eagerness to use digital technology to try to make ourselves happier, we may unintentionally be bringing on exactly the opposite result.7. From paragraph 1, we know that social media ______________.A. is not worthy of our trustB. tries to attract our attentionC. needs to be checked constantlyD. provides new reliable information8. Which of the following could be regarded as social media FOMO?A. Feeling anxious about socializing with others.B. Being afraid of missing a Facebook update.C. Posting food photos on social media.D. Handling multiple tasks at once.9. What does the author suggest people do to achieve long-term happiness?A. Get rid of the desire to check social updates.B. Make small changes on a daily basis.C. Accept there are limits to enjoyment in life.D. Select the social media platform that is suitable to your taste.10. What is the author’s main purpose of writing the article?A. To tell us the danger of FOMO.B. To introduce wise ways of using technology.C. To show there is a direct link between digital technology and happiness.D. To persuade us to get out of FOMO for lasting happiness.【答案】DBAC第二节七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It is the force which drives us on to use whatever talent we have got. If we haven't got some degree of ambition, these talents will not be used for our own and others' benefit. We must continually want to be better than we are. Without ambitionwe are just jellyfish that flop through life. We only react to events; we don't try to control them.Ambition, however, can have several defects.First of all it can be unrealistic. We may not be able to see the limits of our own abilities, so we do ambitious things that are completely beyond us. Our career masters can see our good qualities and our limitations objectively. They may tell us that we haven't the ability to deal with people and would make good businessmen. We refuse to take their evaluation. We keep on trying. Many years and many disappointments later we are forced to accept their judgment. But what a waste of time our ill-founded ambition has caused us!Secondly, our ambition can be too concentrated. We devote our attention to one narrow aim, such as getting distinctions in our science subjects. Everything that may draw us away from this aim is cut out of our lives. In the end we get our distinctions. But what damage we have caused ourselves in the process! We are isolated beings who only care about a particular examination. And we probably won't make good scientists. We lack the breadth of view necessary for success in higher studies.Thirdly, our ambition may be self-centered. Instead of directing some of our ambition towards community improvement we may exploit members of the community in the interests of self-advancements. In later life we may be ambitious for the success of our children but we regard this success as only a further mark of our own success.Fourthly, our ambition can be limited to lifeless objectives. We want to gain money, or power, or membership of some circles. Persons who feel inferior try to make up by seeking the respect of others through possessions of these artificial signs of worth.Ambition is necessary in the lives of individuals — necessary for their own improvement and for the improvement of the community in which they live. But, like all blind forces, it must be directed if it is not to cause disaster. It must be tightly controlled by the head and the heart.IⅤ写作部分阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

tags(标签) through the past decades.But art was never high on the list.But，in 2002，Art Basel made Miami Beach its American home，bringing with it an international scene of lots of art dealers，collectors，critics and art lovers.This art fair lasts less than a week a year but it is one of the biggest in the world.“Art Basel gave Miami the power to believe in itself，and that's always a problem with regional(地方性的) art places，”said Mera Rubell，a Miami collector who，along with her husband，Don，owns the Rubell Family C ollection.“The influence that it has all year round is really quite great.”Art Basel has little to do with local galleries(美术馆)．Just 3 of the 260 galleries invited this year are from Miami，and only a handful of local artists are showing in the fair，which begins on Thursday.But since Art Basel started 10 years ago，dozens of new galleries have opened，and scores of artists have moved here，attracted by the low rents and，partly，by Art Basel itself.The fair gives artists，collectors and gallery owners a rare cha nce to see worldclass art but，more important，to learn from the leading playersof the international art world.The artist Christy Gast said she moved here in 2008 partly because the yearly art fair made the city seem like one of the rare places an artist could succeed in.“From the outside，Basel has created the idea that Miami is a city where being an artist is a right thing to do，”said Ms.Gast.The city，for its part，has used Art Basel to show the world that it is no cultural backwater(闭塞的地方)．Along with galleries and artists，Miami's stock of private art collectors has also risen in the last decade.1．According to the passage，Art Basel of Miami ________.A．used to be very famous in the worldB．started in 2002 at Miami BeachC．is the biggest art fair in the worldD．takes place every two years2．What is the problem with a regional art place?A．Not believing in itself.B．Not lasting very long.C．The little influence.D．No enough local artists.3．What is the main reason why many artists have moved to Miami from other places?A．Art Basel has a lot to do with local galleries.B．Most of the local artists can attend Art Basel.C．They are attracted by the low rents in Miami.D．They can learn from the worldclass artists.4．From what Ms.Gast said we can learn ________.A．she opened her own gallery 10 years agoB．she thinks Miami is a right place to work at artC．Art Basel can make any artist succeed in MiamiD．cultural backwater has damaged Art Basel much5．The main idea of the passage is that ________.A．Miami has become an art city nowB．Art Basel is one of the biggest art fairsC．Miami has a great influence on artD．artists in Miami are realizing their dreamsBJust a little walk in the city of New York or Chicago，for example，would make any foreigner realize the presence of people of various races walking down the street: probably blacks，African Americans，Spanish，Asians，and so on.Or for another example，on school campuses in America，both the teachers and the students usually consist of people from a number of countries rather than only one.Indeed，the variety of ethnicity (种族渊源) in America is often claimed to be the best mix in the world.That's why the famous term “melting pot” arises.Its basic idea presents the whole nation as one large pot.Anyone who enters the United States is automatically thrown into this “pot”．All the cultural aspects that one brings into are mixed together，or melted，to form a new culture.In comparison with the “melting pot” theory，there is a “salad bowl” theory.This idea shows a completely separate view that newcomers bring different cultures，where each of these cultures is kept as an essential part to make up the whole.Every distinctive culture or belief is considered to be one of the tastes or ingredients (成分) that contribute to forming the whole.Therefore，its original shape and characteristics are maintained.The ideas，of the “melting pot” and the “salad bowl” in America both show an ideal to many people and are often admired.Having a close look at the reality of the country，such as the existing ethnic segregation (分离)，the fact of the white population fleeing from the minority，and the trend of the minority group forming their own group，one can see that the “melting pot” theory is merely a myth.Despite its long fame，it is more suitable to label Amer ica as a “salad bowl”．6．What would be the BEST title for the passage?A．America：“melting pot” or “salad bowl”？B．Why many people come to America?C．The development of American cultureD．The ways to adapt to American life7．The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell us the fact that________.A．a foreigner is likely to experience culture shock in AmericaB．America is a country of a wide variety of ethnic minoritiesC．people of various races live in big cities in AmericaD．it's easy for a foreigner to stand out in America8．According to the “melting pot” theory，people who enter the United States________.A．are eager to change the new cultureB．can adapt to the new culture more easilyC．try to prove the importance of their cultureD．lose their own identities to form a new culture9．We can learn from the last paragraph that different ethnic minorities in America________.A．are completely equal in societyB．tend to live segregatedC．strictly keep their own culturesD．have mixed together10．What does the author think of American society?A．It is a mixture of the “melting pot” and the “salad bowl”．B．It is more of a “melting pot” than of a “salad bowl”．C．It is better defined as a “salad bowl” rather than a “melting pot”．D．It is hard to say whether it is a “melting pot” or a “salad bowl”．Ⅳ.翻译句子1．我同意他所说的大部分，但不是都同意。

Unit 1 A land of diversity Using language课时作业Ⅰ.阅读理解AHere is a collection of some TV series.For this list, we stick to those that have been released in recent years and we choose not to include TV hits like Game of Thrones or Sherlock.Stranger ThingsThis US television series is a combination of three genres (类型)：the typical college movies where the losers rise up, the science fiction films about crazy scientists who reached their top in the 1980s and the horror movies written in the style of Stephen King.This show, starring Winona Ryder and a group of amazing kids, has managed to combine these genres so well that it has already acquired a vast army of fans worldwide.The Pillars of the EarthIt is set in the twelfth century, a time which is considered one of the darkest and most romantic (浪漫的) periods in the history of England. Based on the best-selling novel written by Ken Follett, this TV show starring the brilliant Eddie Redmayne is widely recognized as one of the best historical TV dramas of recent years.MahabharataThis Indian Hindi-language series is liked by many people for being regarded as the simplest and the most fun way to learn about the age-old wisdom of the Indian people.It tells us about the kings and heroes who love, fight and make wise decisions.This drama is about the endless struggle between good and evil.The Cro w nThis story about the transformation of the young Princess Elizabeth into the queen shows everything about the British monarchy (君主制)．It includes many storylines, each of which could be made into a separate TV show.The series focuses on the age-old themes of family, marriage and politics, and this is probably what makes The Cro w n win popularity.语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。

Unit 1 A land of diversity Learning about language课时作业Ⅰ. 阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AScientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流). Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way —by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years’ experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap_meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes —about 60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn’t. Ebbesmeyer r ealized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.The Pacific Northwest is one of the world’s best areas for beac hcombing (海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1,600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.1. The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________.A. fitting roomsB. trading fairsC. business talksD. group meetings2. Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out ________.A. what caused the shipping accidentB. when and where the shoes went missingC. whether it was all right to use their shoesD. how much they lost in the shipping accident3. How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?A. By collecting information from beachcombers.B. By studying the shoes found by beachcombers.C. By searching the Web for ocean currents models.D. By researching ocean currents data in the library.4. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A. To call people’s attention to ocean pollution.B. To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean.C. To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.D. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.【语篇解读】本篇为科普说明文。

This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，” said the 30yearold man.Richardson describes travel ing alone like “a shot in the arm”，which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”现在人们喜欢独自旅行，不是没有旅伴，而是喜欢一个人旅行。

Unit 1 A land of diversityⅠ.阅读理解A[2020·湖北省武汉市高中毕业生调研]In American countryside, the message we hear is this: Go and get an education. Leave your small town and make something of yourself. Success and opportunity are found elsewhere.After graduating from a high school in Helena, Arkansas, I did go.I went to Colby College in Maine. I had visited the school ahead of time, so I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew about the difference in weather. I understood the difference in social atmosphere. But I wanted to stretch myself and get out of my comfort zone. And you know what? I absolutely loved my time there. But one thing took me by surprise — the lack of countryside representation. Most of the other students at Colby were from big cities: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco ... And when I had conversations with these students — in or outside of class — we almost always focused on topics facing large American cities. In my education classes, it was always “urban this〞and “urban that〞．It was like small town America didn't exist.And this urban interest doesn't just happen in college. I went to an education conference a couple of years ago, and a professor — someone who had been at the forefront of educational reform — was there to deliver a keynote. I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him. So there we were, five or six of us sitting in a room, and I asked him, “What are your thoughts on the state of education in the countryside？〞 And this man was speechless.I'll never forget that moment. It speaks to a larger truth. Towns like mine are forgotten.This trend of exporting talent and resources to our big cities — this mindset of leaving small towns and never coming back —I don't want to add to that movement.I want to reverse that movement.Now it's my turn to help people younger than me. And you know what? I'm a sixthgrade teacher in Helena now.1．What do people in American countryside think of the future of the youth at home?A．Secure. B．Fragile.C．Promising.

The entire Hummingbirds class, which is made up of 9 and10yearold pupils, has been busy writing poems and creating online video adverts to warn adults about the serious situation of our oceans and wildlife.Mr Timms thinks children have an important role to play in teaching us how to take care of the things around us. “We sometimes overlook how much we can really learn from children，〞he says. “It has been really hard to believe having parents come in saying that their children have been asking them to stop using plastic, and to recycle more, and even stopping them using plastic straws.〞Mr Timms is proud of his Hummingbirds class. “The message that they would like to send to the world is simple: stopping this isn't someone else's job: and it won't be OK if we just leave it.〞5．What can we infer about adults according to Isobel Kelleher?A．They just pretend to be busy.B．They haven't done their part well.C．They can do nothing to stop pollution.D．They have started to care about the ocean.6．What is the purpose of the school project?A．To help adults to learn more about their kids.B．To remind adults to be friendly to the environment.C．To persuade students to stop using plastic bags.D．To teach students how to write poems creatively.7．Why does Mr Timms mention parents in Paragraph 4?A．To prove kids are creative in teaching.B．To attract people to support his work.C．To have adults care about education.D．To show the effects of the project.8．What is the text mainly about?A．An inspiring school project.B．An appeal to stop plastic bags.C．Serious situations of our planet.D．Adults' ignorance of the environment.Ⅱ.完形填空[2020·陕西省局部学校第一学期摸底检测]My cousin is nine years old, a little bit fat and doesn't do really well at school.

How are you going to celebrate your birthday the next month? If you hadn't arranged anything, come to the concert holding by my favorite band in the city stadium. I'm sure you will not regret it. The concert will be Sunday. Clearly it will be a hit, because the ticket of the concert are sold very well. The only problem is when the performance starts quite lately — at nine pm.

I will ask your dad to pick us up and you can stay in my home for the night.课时作业(三十六)Ⅰ.阅读理解A体裁：记叙文题材：社会文化主题：美国的乡村逐渐被人遗忘【语篇解读】本文作者通过自己的大学生活经历以与在一次教育会议上与一位教授进展交流的故事说明了美国的乡村正在逐渐被人遗忘的现象，作者也由此决定帮助乡村中的年轻人。
