Unit 2 The Olympic GamesⅠ.阅读理解A[2020·甘肃省第一次高考诊断]Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course, a_silly_belief. But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.Like most people from the West, I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films. Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world. The flashy and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble in the Bronx and Enter the Dragon made them household names in the U．S. and elsewhere.However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip hop group. Wu－Tang Clan, founded in the early 1990s in New York City, is one of the most influential hip hop groups in history.In their songs, they sometimes mention philosophical concepts that come from Wudang quan — a classic Chinese martial art from which they take their name — and Shaolin Temple. I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu－Tang Clan — little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!I myself do not practice kung fu. However, the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me. There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I'm struggling with challenges in li fe.“Be formless, shapeless, like water，\” he once said. By this, he meant that you should be ready to adapt to and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties. I think this is a good way to deal with life.1．What does “a silly belief\” in P aragraph 1 refer to?A．All Chinese people can do kung fu.B．China is most famous for its kung fu.C．Kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.D．Many Westerners admire kung fu.2．What inspired the author's interest in kung fu?A．Hong Kong action movies.B．A TV program about kung fu.C．Kung fu stars in Hollywood.D．A US hip hop group.3．What do we know about the Wu－Tang Clan?A．They have Chinese culture in their songs.B．They taught the author how to do Wudang quan.C．They performed Chinese martial arts in the U．S.D．They showed the author the way to live in China.4．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．The author was sorry that he couldn't do kung fu.B. The concepts of kung fu change over time.C．The spirit of kung fu helps the author overcome difficulties.D．Bruce Lee was the most popular martial arts master.B[2020·惠州市高三第一次调研]TOKYO, June 8(Xinhua) — The Beijing Organizing Committee of the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games held a promotion event in the Japanese capital, Tokyo on Saturday to introduce the latest developments in preparation for the Beijing Winter Olympics.The promotion event, which used an exhibition wall and the “Charming Beijing\” photo exhibition to showcase the preparations of Beijing 2022, was part of “Beijing Week\”， a series of activities to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of sister－city relations between Beijing and Tokyo.On the exhibition wall with an area of 33 square meters, Beijing 2022 organizers showcased five aspects including the Beijing Winter Olympics vision, Beijing's winter sports tradition, emblems(徽章) of Beijing 2022, competition planning and the National Speed Skating Oval.At the same time, old photos of the Chinese and Japanese ice hockey teams echoed the 40th anniversary of the establishment of sister－city relations between the two cities and the theme of the Beijing Winter Olympics.The promotion videos of the Beijing 2022 emblems, as well as other related video clips, drew great interest of the audience.The “Charming Beijing\” photo exhibition displayed some of the Winter Olympic venues, showing the progress of the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics.Meanwhile, the sand table, VR glasses and the “Beijing Winter Olympics Brochure\” are also provided to let the aud ience visually experience the unique charm of the National Speed Skating Oval and the features of other competition venues.Chang Yu, Director General of the Media and Communications Department of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, introduced the progress of the preparations of Beijing 2022 and the vision of cooperation between Beijing 2022 and Tokyo 2020.Chang Yu said that the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee stays committed to hosting the Games in a green, inclusive, open and clean manner, with the aim of delivering a fantastic, extraordinary and excellent Olympic event to the world.The Beijing Winter Olympics will open on February 4, 2022，which will feature 7 sports,15 disciplines and 109 events.5．How was the promotion event carried out?A．By advertising on TV in Beijing and Tokyo.B．By sending off brochures to citizens in Tokyo.C．By providing various visual experiences.D．Through tours all around Tokyo.6．The underlined word “commemorate\” in paragraph 2 closest in meaning to ________.A．celebrate B．appreciateC．compare D．combine7．What can be inferred from Chang Yu's introduction?A．Beijing will host the Olympics earlier than Tokyo.B．Beijing is wellprepared for the 2022 event.C．Beijing 2022 proves a great success.D．Beijing 2022 will be environmentally friendly.8．Which of the following can be the title of this passage?A．The Sister－city Anniversary Between Beijing and TokyoB．Beijing 2022 Promotion Event in TokyoC．Beijing and Tokyo, Friendship ForeverD．Preparations for Beijing 2022 OlympicsⅡ.七选五[2020·陕西省部分学校第一学期摸底检测]As we all know, health is more important than wealth.

高中英语 Unit 2 The Olympic Games Period 2 Reading课后阅读
Unit 2 The Olympic Games Period 2 Reading课后阅读训练Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sport in the world.Everyfour years,a hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen tocompete for the highest honours in sports.As many as 6,000 people takepart in over 20 sports.For the winners,there are gold medals andglory.But there is honour,too,for all who compete,win or lose.That is in the spirit of the Olympics—to take part is what matters.The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action.The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track.The custom is for the Greek team to march in first.For it was in Greece that the Olympics began.The team of the country where the Games are being held—the host country—marches in last.The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame.A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath(宣誓)on behalf of all the competitors.The judges and officials also take an oath.After the sportsmen march out of the stadium,the host country puts on a wonderful display.The competitions begin the next day.There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games.The rule is that there must be at least fifteen.The main events are in track and field,but it is a few days before these sports start.Each day the competitors take part in a different sport—riding,shooting,swimming,and cross-country running.Points are gained for each event.Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.More and more women are taking part in the Games.They first competed in 1900,in tennis and golf.【语篇概述】本文主要讲夏季奥运会的情况,包括运动员、裁判、开幕式、各大项目等。

All NBA teams have an interesting story or a history behind their names. Some of the names reflect the city's culture or history, others came from previous owners and many were selected through “Name the Team〞 contests.For teams like Los Angeles and Utah, the names were not always a reflection of the city. Even though Los Angeles has no lakes, the Laker name has been a city treasure for almost 40 years. Before going to Los Angeles, the team originated in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1948, team officials chose the name for its direct relationship to the state's motto, “The Land of 10，000 Lakes.〞 The team name went unchanged after moving to Los Angeles in 1960.Because Utah's team originated in New Orleans, Louisiana, it was called the Jazz. In 1974, New Orleans club officials chose the name to represent the city for itsrep utation as the “jaz z capital of the world.〞 The name stayed with the team even after finding a new home in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1979.The Chicago Bull's original owner, Richard Klein, named the team the Bulls. He picked the name because a fighting bull is relentless, and never quits. Klein, who founded the club in 1966, believed these qualities were necessary for a championship team and hoped his Chicago athletes would live up to the team name. A belief that Bulls...winner of the six NBA championships have definitely followed.In 1967, the Indian Pacers selected their team name in a different way from most other teams. Their decision was based on what they wanted to accomplish in the NBA. Team officials chose the Pacers name because the organization wanted to set the “pace〞 in professional basketball.1．Which can be the best title for this passage?A. History of NBAB.

Unit 2 The Olympic Games Using language课时作业一、阅读理解ARecently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina. We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer ＂psychological first aid＂and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude (感激) from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadn’t really done anything yet.I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend’s mother passed a way unexpectedly. I had received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didn’t want to intrude (打扰) on this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, ＂Just go. Just be there.＂I did, and I will never regret it.Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS — related dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware o f others’ presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.1.Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?A. He built shelters for them.B. He gave immediate first aid to them.C. He came to stay with them.D. He brought mental health professionals.2.What did the author do when his friend’s mother passed away?A. He hesitated over whether to go.B. He went to his friends’ at once.C. He knew what to do instantly.D. He decided not to disturb.3.What does the underlined word ＂solemn＂in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Heavy but warm.B. A little sad but cosy.C. Relaxing and delightful.D. Very serious and unhappy.4.What has the author learned from his experience?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. Being present can make a big difference.C. The family harmony is the happiest thing in life.D. Being a volunteer can make one’s life more significant.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

毛额市鹌鹑阳光实验学校Unit 2 The Olympic GamesⅠ.阅读理解[2017·山西太原期末]My mother was the one who whipped me.At least she did whenever she wasn't ashamed to let the neighbors think she was killing me.If she even acted as though she was about to raise her hand to me，I would open my mouth and let the world know about it.If anybody was passing by out on the road，she would either change her mind or just give me a few licks.Think about it now.I feel definitely that just as my father favored me for being lighter than the other children，my mother gave me more hell for the same reason.She was very light herself，but she favored the ones who were darker.Wilfred，I knew，was particularly her angel.I remember that she would tell me to go out of the house.“Let the sun shine on you so you can get some color.”I learned early that crying out in protest could accomplish things.My older brothers and sister would sometimes come in from school and ask for a buttered biscuit or something.My mother，impatiently，would tell them no.But I would cry out and make a fuss until I got what I wanted.I remember well how my mother asked me why I couldn't be a nice boy like Wilfred.But I would think to myself that Wilfred，for being so nice and quiet，often stayed hungry.So early in life，I had learned that if you wanted something，you had better make some noise.1．What would the writer's mother do if someone was passing by out on the road?A．She would stop killing me.B．She would whip me even harder.C．She would shout at me very loudly.D．She would give me only a few beatings.2．What does the underlined word “hell” mean?A．Love.

Unit 2 The Olympic Games【导语】随着时间的推移和奥林匹克运动的发展转变，对奥林匹克标志的阐释也出现了变化。
奥林匹克旗和五环的含义，不仅象征五大洲的团结，而且强调所有参赛运动员应以公正、坦诚的运动员精神在比赛场上相见！The Olympic FlagOn the Olympic flag，the rings appear on a white background(背景)．Pierre de Coubertin，the father of the modern Olympic Games，explains the meaning of the flag：“The Olympic flag has a white background，with five interlaced rings in the centre：blue，yellow，black，green and red.This design is symbolic；it represents the five continents of the world，united by Olympism，while the six colours are those that appear on all the national flags of the world at the present time.”Combined in this way，the six colours of the flag，(including the white of the background)represent all nations.It is wrong，therefore，to believe that each of the colours corresponds(与……相符)to a certain continent!At the Olympic Games，the flag is brought into the Stadium during the opening ceremony(揭幕式)．After its arrival，the flag is lifte d up the flagpole.It must fly in the stadium during the whole of the Games.When the flag is lowered at the closing ceremony，it means the end of the Games.The mayor of the host city of the Games passes the Olympic flag to the mayor of the next host city of the Games.Even though Pierre de Coubertin intended(想要)the Olympic Games to be an international event from 1896 in Athens(Greece)，it was only at the 1912 Games in Stockholm (Sweden) that，for the first time，the participants(参加者)came from all five continents.One year later，in 1913，the five rings appeared at the top of a letterwritten by Pierre de Coubertin.He drew the rings and coloured them by hand.He then described this symbol in the Olympic Review of August 1913.It was also Coubertin who had the idea for the Olympic flag.He presented the rings and flag in June 1914 in Paris at the Olympic Congress.The First World War prevented the Games from being celebrated in 1916 in Berlin(Germany)as planned.It was not until 1920 in Antwerp (Belgium) that the flag and its five rings could be seen flying in an Olympic stadium.【词海拾贝】1．interlaced adj.交织的；交织的2．symbolic adj.象征的；象征性的3．represent v．代表；象征【问题思考】阅读短文，判断正(T)误(F)。

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校Unit 2 The Olympic GamesⅠ.阅读理解A[2020·甘肃省第一次高考诊断]Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course,a_silly_belief. But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.Like most people from the West, I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films. Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world. The flashy and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble in the Bronx and Enter the Dragon made them household names in the U．S. and elsewhere.However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip hop group. Wu－Tang Clan, founded in the early 1990s in New York City, is one of the most influential hip hop groups in history.In their songs, they sometimes mention philosophical concepts that come from Wudang quan — a classic Chinese martial art from which they take their name —and Shaolin Temple. I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu－Tang Clan — little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!I myself do not practice kung fu. However, the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me. There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I'm stru ggling with challenges in life.“Be formless, shapeless, like water，\” he once said. By this, he meant that you should be ready to adapt to and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties. I think this is a good way to deal with life.1．What does “a silly belief\” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．All Chinese people can do kung fu.B．China is most famous for its kung fu.C．Kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.D．Many Westerners admire kung fu.2．What inspired the author's interest in kung fu?A．Hong Kong action movies.B．A TV program about kung fu.C．Kung fu stars in Hollywood.D．A US hip hop group.3．What do we know about the Wu－Tang Clan?A．They have Chinese culture in their songs.B．They taught the author how to do Wudang quan.C．They performed Chinese martial arts in the U．S.D．They showed the author the way to live in China.4．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．The author was sorry that he couldn't do kung fu.B. The concepts of kung fu change over time.C．The spirit of kung fu helps the author overcome difficulties.D．Bruce Lee was the most popular martial arts master.B[2020·惠州市高三第一次调研]TOKYO, June 8(Xinhua) — The Beijing Organizing Committee of the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games held a promotion event in the Japanese capital, Tokyo on Saturday to introduce the latest developments in preparation for the Beijing Winter Olympics.The promotion event, which used an exhibition wall and the “Charming Beijing\” photo exhibition to showcase the preparations of Beijing 2022, w as part of “Beijing Week\”， a series of activities to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of sister－city relations between Beijing and Tokyo.On the exhibition wall with an area of 33 square meters, Beijing 2022 organizers showcased five aspects including the Beijing Winter Olympics vision, Beijing's winter sports tradition, emblems(徽章) of Beijing 2022, competition planning and the National Speed Skating Oval.At the same time, old photos of the Chinese and Japanese ice hockey teams echoed the 40th anniversary of the establishment of sister－city relations between the two cities and the theme of the Beijing Winter Olympics.The promotion videos of the Beijing 2022 emblems, as well as other related video clips, drew great interest of the audience.The “Charming Beijing\” photo exhibition displayed some of the Winter Olympic venues, showing the progress of the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics.Meanwhile, the sand table, VR glasses and the “Beijing Winter Olympics Brochure\” a re also provided to let the audience visually experience the unique charm of the National Speed Skating Oval and the features of other competition venues.Chang Yu, Director General of the Media and CommunicationsDepartment of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, introduced the progress of the preparations of Beijing 2022 and the vision of cooperation between Beijing 2022 and Tokyo 2020.Chang Yu said that the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee stays committed to hosting the Games in a green, inclusive, open and clean manner, with the aim of delivering a fantastic, extraordinary and excellent Olympic event to the world.The Beijing Winter Olympics will open on February 4, 2022，which will feature 7 sports,15 disciplines and 109 events.5．How was the promotion event carried out?A．By advertising on TV in Beijing and Tokyo.B．By sending off brochures to citizens in Tokyo.C．By providing various visual experiences.D．Through tours all around Tokyo.6．The underlined word “commemorat e\” in paragraph 2 closest in meaning to ________.A．celebrate B．appreciateC．compare D．combine7．What can be inferred from Chang Yu's introduction?A．Beijing will host the Olympics earlier than Tokyo.B．Beijing is wellprepared for the 2022 event.C．Beijing 2022 proves a great success.D．Beijing 2022 will be environmentally friendly.8．Which of the following can be the title of this passage?A．The Sister－city Anniversary Between Beijing and TokyoB．Beijing 2022 Promotion Event in TokyoC．Beijing and Tokyo, Friendship ForeverD．Preparations for Beijing 2022 OlympicsⅡ.七选五[2020·陕西省部分学校第一学期摸底检测]As we all know, health is more important than wealth.

Every four years, many countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honour in sport. As many as 6，000 people take part in over 20 sports. For the winners, there are gold medals and glory. But there is honour, too, for all who compete, win or lose. That is in the spirit of the Olympics—to take part is what matters.The Olympic Games always start in a bright colour and action.The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track. The custom is for the Greek team to march in first, for it was in Greece that the Olympics began. The team of the country where the Games are being held—the host country—marches in last.The runner with the Olympic torch (火炬) then enters the stadium and lights the flame. A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath (宣誓) on behalf of all the competitors. The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsmen march out of the stadium, the host country puts on a wonderful display.The competitions begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games. The rule is that there must be at least fifteen. The main events are in track and field，but there are a few days before these sports start. Each day the competitors take part in different sports，like riding，shooting，swimming，and cross－country running. Points are gained for each event. Medals are awardedfor the individual winners and for national teams.More and more women are taking part in the Games. They first competed in 1900, in tennis and golf. Women's swimming events were introduced in 1912.But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women. Now they compete in all but half a dozen of the sports. In horse riding, shooting, and boat racing, they may compete in the same events as men.1．Why is there honour for the losers as well as for the winners?A．Because what really matters is to take part in the Olympic Games. B．Because failure is the mother of success.C．Because losers need encouragement.D．Because losers and winners should be equally treated.2．Which of the following is a long－established practice in the opening ceremony? A．Runners enter the stadium with torches.B．Each team puts on a wonderful display.C．Sportsmen and sportswomen wear magnificent clothes.D．The Greek team marches in first.3．Who takes the Olympic oath?A．A sportsman from the host country.B．A judge from a foreign country.C．An officer from the host country.D．A Greek sportsman.4．When did women start taking part in the Olympic Games?A．In 1912. B．In 1928.C．In 1900. D．In 1924.Ⅴ.翻译句子1．他们在从前是个寺庙的地方建了一所学校。
