阅读表达阅读下面短文并回答问题（请注意题后的词数要求）。

Passage 1[1]To forgive may be great,but no one ever said it was easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be very difficult to let go of your complaint（抱怨）.But forgiveness （宽恕）is possible—and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health.[2]So how do you start forgiveness? Try following these steps:[3]Calm yourself.To calm your anger,try a simple stress-management skill.“Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,someone you love,” Luskin says.[4]Don’t wait for an apology.“Many times the person who hurt you has no intention （意图）of apologizing,”Luskin says.“They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way.So if you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time.”[5]Take the control away from your offender（对手）.Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who cause you pain.“Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings,learn to look for the love,beauty and kindness around you,” Luskin says.[6]Try to see things from the other person’s view.If you understand that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear even love.To gain view,you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view. [7] Don’t forget to forgive yourself.“For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,”Luskin says.“But it can reduce your self-confidence if .”1.What is the best title of the passage? (no more than 10 words)plete the following statement with proper words.(no more than 8 words)If you always keep your hurt in mind,you will.3.Please fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(no more than 10 words）4.Which advice is the most difficult for you to follow?Why? (no more than 30 words）5.What does the underlined part“that person” (Paragraph 6）probably refer to?（no more than 6 words)答案：1.The Art of Forgiveness2.encourage the person who hurt you3.you don’t do it/you don’t forgive yourself4.Answers may vary.5.the person who once hurt youPassage 2 （2013·山东高考）[1]ean Paul Getty was born in 1892 in Minneapolis,Minnesota.He became a millionaire when he was only 24.His father was wealthy,but he did not help his son.Getty made his millions alone.He made his money from oil.He owned Getty Oil and over 100 other companies.The Fortune magazine once called Getty “the richest man in the world.”[2]But money .He married five times and divorced five times.He had five children but spent little time with them.None of Getty’s children had very happy lives.[3]Getty loved to make money and loved to save it.In spite of his great wealth,Getty was a miser.Every evening,he wrote down every cent he spent that day.He even put pay telephones in the guests’ bedrooms in his house so he could save money on phone bills.[4]In 1973,kidnappers took his 16-year-old grandson,and demanded a large amount of money for his safe return.Getty’s son asked his father for money to save hischild.But Getty refused.The kidnappers were merciless and Ge tty’s son made repeated requests for help from his father.Finally,Getty agreed to lend the money,but at 4 percent interest.[5]Getty started a museum at his home in Malibu,California.He bought many important and beautiful pieces of art for the museum.When Getty died in 1976,the value of the collection in the museum was ＄1 billion.He left all his money to the museum.After his death,the museum grew in size.Today it is one of the most important museums in the United States.Getty made a large fortune in his life,but he gave his money to the art world because he wanted people to learn about and love art.76.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?(no more than 8 words)77.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(no more than 7 words)78.Explain the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3.79.What did the kidnappers do to Getty’s family?(no more than 10 words)80.What does the author want to tell us about Getty in the last paragraph?(no more than 10 words)答案：76.Getty was a self-made millionaire./Getty became rich through his own efforts.77.did not buy happiness for Getty78.Although he was very rich,Getty hated to spend money.79.They took Getty’s grandson and asked for money.80.Getty made a great contribution to the art world./Getty had another side. Passage 3 （2013·江西高考）[1]Fishing is probably the world’s most popular sport.People spend many dollars each year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles.In addition，they spend money on fishing equipment，bait,fuel and boat repairs.And you can see that fishingcan be an expensive pastime.Fishing lovers believe that their hobby is worth it.Others say that fishing is spoiling the environment and that it is a cruel hobby.[2]Supporters of fishing say that it is a nice hobby.Firstly,of the millions of people who fish for fun，most only catch enough fish to feed their families.They catch fish that are found in large numbers，so there is little danger to the species （种类）.[3]Secondly，recreational fishermen contribute to the economy.They spend money on equipment and other items，and they also spend it indirectly by paying taxes on their equipment and fuel.Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation（食宿）and airfares.This money keeps people in work and provides new jobs each year. [4]Thirdly,fishing is relaxing and fun so it lessens stress.Instead of turning to drugs or alcohol,it is far better to go fishing.People who are relaxed are generally healthier and much nicer to be near—except for the smell of the bait！[5]Those who say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken from rivers，lakes,streams and oceans.This could lead to the dying out of some species.Modern cars and boats mean that people can fish in remote areas of the world,so no place is safe from greedy fishermen who take both males and females,leaving few fish to produce young.[6]Those against fishing also say that it is a blood sport，which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun.Many of the fish caught for sport are not suitable for eating，so they are thrown away.Once hooked,fish have no chance of escape.76.What is the main idea of the passage?（no more than 4 words）77.According to Paragraph 2，why does fishing cause little danger to the species？（no more than 8 words）78.List 4 items on which people spend their money for fishing.（no more than 7 words）79.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words.（no more than 4 words）Those who say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken from rivers，lakes,streams and oceans.80.What does the word “which”（Line 1，Paragraph 6） probably refer to？（no morethan 3 words）答案：76.Different views on fishing.77.Fishing lovers catch fish found in large numbers.78.boats,vehicles,fishing equipment,bait,fuel，boat repairs,accommodation and airfares(列出其中四项即可)79.disagree with fishing (are against fishing)80.A blood sport.Passage 4 （2013·天津高考）My name is Clara.I still remember that chilly December day,sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine.A piece ofnews caught my eye:NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover （火星探测器）.Before I even knew anything else about it,a single word flooded my11-year-old mind:Curiosity.I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay.That afternoon,I raced home,sat down at the computer,and typed until my fingers ached.“Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind...”Five months later,my mom received a phone call,and immediately,a wide smile spreadacross her face.On August 5,2012,at 10:31 p.m.,the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars,and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.Curiosity is such an important part of who I am.I have always been fascinated bythe stars,the planets,the sky and the universe.I remember as a little girl,my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours.She’d tell me storiesand point out the stars.Grandma lived in China,thousands of miles away from my homein Kansas,but the stars kept us together even when we were apart.They were alwaysthere,yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love somuch about space.People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars.My answer is simple:because we’re curious.We human beings do not just hole up in one place.We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.56.How did Clara get the news about the essay contest?（no more than 10 words）57.Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA?(no more than 10 words)58.What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma?(no more than 15 words)59.What does the underlined phrase “hole up” mean?(1 word)60.In your opinion,why is curiosity important?(no more than 20 words)答案：56.By reading a TIME for Kids magazine./From a TIME for Kids magazine.57.She won the essay contest held by NASA./She named the Mars rover “Curiosity”./“Curiosity” was chosen as the name of the Mars rover.58.She sat together with Grandma listening to her stories about the stars./Her grandma told her stories about the stars./They sat together talking about the stars.59.Stay/Remain/Live/Hide.60.Curiosity is important because it leads to discovery or invention./With curiosity,we keep asking questions and exploring the unknown world./Curiosity drives us through our lives so that we never stop wondering about the things beyondour knowledge.Passage 5 （2013·四川高考）A nurse of 78 this weekend celebrates 60 years of walking the wards—and she hasno plans to retire.Jackie Reid was 18 when she started work in 1953—when the National Health Service （NHS） was just five years old—and is believed to be the oldest nurse in Britain.The diabetes （糖尿病） specialist had to retire at 65 but returned as a nurse withintwo weeks and still does up to four seven-and-a-half hour shifts （轮班） each week.Mrs Reid said：“Nursing is hard if you do it correctly but I love my job.Workingfor the NHS has been my life.I have no other hobbies because I have worked all mylife.”Jackie has worked at a number of different hospitals—including one in Scotland.

新必修一unit5课文THE CHINESE WRITING SYSTEM:CONNECTING THE PAST AND THE PRESENTChina is widely known for its ancient civilisation which has continued all the way through into modern times,despite the many ups and downs in its history.There are many reasons why this has been possible,but one of the main factors has been the Chinese writing system.At the beginning,written Chinese was a picture-based language.It dates back several thousand years to the use of longgu—animal bones and shells on which symbols were carved by ancient Chinese people.Some of the ancient symbols can still be seen in today's hanzi.By the Shang Dynasty(around1600-1046BCE),these symbols had become a well-developed writing system.Over the years,the system developed into different forms,as it was a time when people were divided geographically,leading to many varieties of dialects and characters.This, however,changed under Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty(221--207BCE).Emperor Qinshihuang united the seven major states into one unified country where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction.That writing system was of great importance in uniting the Chinese people and culture.Even today,no matter where Chinese people live or what dialect they speak,they can all still communicate in writing.Written Chinese has also become an important means by which China's present is connected with its past.People in modern times can read the classic works which were written by Chinese in ancient times.The high regard for the Chinese writing system can be seen in the development of Chinese characters as an art form,known as Chinese calligraphy,which has become an important part of Chinese culture.Today,the Chinese writing system is still an important part of Chinese culture.As China plays a greater role in global affairs,an increasing number of international students are beginning to appreciate China's culture and history through this amazing language.中文书写系统:连接过去和现在中国以其一直延续到现代的古老文明而闻名，尽管在它的历史上有许多起起落落。

Learning EnglishWang Le:Hey, everybody, what are your biggest problems with learning English?Liu Wen: Hi! I’ve been studying English since primary school. I used to get high marks in English, but now I’m having a lot of trouble with my listening. When I listen to native English speakers talking in a video, I can catch only a few words. I can never quite get the main idea. Any advice?Jia Xin: Listening to English radio programmes helps me get used to how fast native speakers talk.I also repeat what I hear to help myself to experience the feeling of the language. Sometimes I even record my voice so I can listen to myself and compare my pronunciation with the radio host’s! My biggest headache is how to be polite in English. It’s so much easier to just say “Open the window!”, but in English that can sound really terrible. I have to think about who I’m talking to and then decide whether to say, “Open the window, please!”or “Could you open the window, please?”or even longer “Would you mind opening the window, please?”Li Rui: Yeah, that’s really hard! I think it all depends on who you’re talking to. If I’m talking to a close friend, I can use short requests, like “Open the window”—our relationship is close and we’re equals, so I only need a few words to bridge the gap between us. But if I’m talking to someone who isn’t very close to me, I must make my request longer—and I must make it a question, not a demand, e.g., “Could you open the window, please?”If I’m talking to someone senior to me, then I should say, “Would you mind opening the window, please?”For me, vocabulary is my biggest problem—there are just SO MANY new words!I can’t keep all the new vocabulary straight in my head, and I certainly can’t remember how to use them all properly. HELP!学习英语王乐：嘿，各位，请问你们在学习英语时遇到的最大问题是什么？刘文：你好！我从小学就开始一直学习英语。

人教版高一英语必修Book1 Unit5 配套阅读

Heroism, as we know it, is a term that defines someone who’s bigger, better and just downright more powerful than the regular humble man or woman. Yet, being a real-life hero has little to do with having superpowersThe following individuals are ordinary people who have unselfishly, performed heroic feats to save the life of another. They prove that to be a hero requires no second thought but rather, the full force of action. Anyone can become a hero given the opportunity, and yet not everyone does –that’s what makes these five people so inspiring.Christina Simoes – Hero mom leaps out of burning building to save her toddlerChristina Simoes made headlines in May 2014 for surviving a deadly fire in her home in Massachusetts and saving the life of her young child. When her apartment caught fire, Christina, seeing no way out, cradled her 18-month-old son Cameron in her arms, kissed him, and told him she loved him. Using her body as a shield, she leapt out of the window and landed on her feet but doctors say she’ll never walk again. Although she is now paralyzed from the waist down, because of her heroic feat her son survived with barely a scratch.Robert Kuba – Hero teacher saves his students from school shooterIn February 2014, Philadelphia, New York high school science teacher Robert Kuba saw one of his students pull out a rifle from beneath a blanket. Instantaneously, Kuba approached the student and tore the weapon away from him. He calmly led the student out of the classroom and called for help. After turning the offender over to the proper school authorities, Kuba returned to teach the remaining 15 minutes of his class.

Unit 5ELIAS ’STORYMy name is Elias. I am a poor black worker in South Africa. The time when I first met Nels on Mandela was a very difficult period of my life. I was twelve years old. It was in 1952 and Ma ndela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice. He offered guidance to poor black people on their legal problems. He was generous with his time, for which I was grateful.I needed his help because I had very little education. I began school at six. The school where I studied for only two years was three kilometers away. I had to leave because my family could n ot continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. I could not read or write well. After trying hard, I got a job in a gold mine. However, this was a time when one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg. Sadly I did not have it because I was not born there, and I worried about whether I would become out of work.The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest. He told my how to get th e correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg. I became more hopeful about my future. I never forgot how kind Mandela was. When he organized the ANC Youth League, I joined it as soon as I could. He said:“Thelast thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress,until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.”It was the truth. Black people could not vote or choose their leaders. They could not get the jobs they wanted. The parts of town in which they had to live were decided by white people. Theplaces outside the towns where they were sent to live were the poorest parts of South Africa. No o ne could grow food there. In fact as Nelson Mandela said:“⋯ wewere put into a position in which we had either to accept we w ere less important or fi ght the government. We chose to attack the laws. We first broke the law in a way which was peaceful; when this was not allowed⋯onlythen did we decide to answer violence with violence.As a matter of fact, I do not like violence ⋯b ut in 1963 I helped him blow up some governm ent buildings. It was very dangerous because if I was caught I could be put in prison. But I was h appy to helpbecause I knew it would help us achieve our dream of making black and white peopl e equal.THE REST OF ELIAS' STORYYou cannot imagine how the name of Robben Island made us afraid. It was a prison from wh ich no one escaped. There I spent the hardest time of my life. But when I got there Nelsom Mandela was also there and he helped me. Mr Mandela began a school for those of us who had little learning. He taught us during the lunch breaks and the evenings when we should have been asleep.We read books under our blankets and used anything we could find to make candles to see the words. I became a good student. I wanted to study for my degree but I was not allowed to do that. Later, Mr Mandela allowed the prison guards to join us. He said they should not be stopped from studying for their degrees. They were not cleverer than me , but they did pass their exams. So I knwe I could get a degree too. That made me feel good about myself.When I finished the four years in prison, I went to find a job. Since I was better educated, I got a job working in an office. However, the police found out and told my boss that I had been in prinson for blowi ng up government buildings. So I lost my job. I did not work again for twenty years until M r Mandela and the ANC came to power in 1994. All that time my wife and children had to beg for good and help from relatives or friends. Luckily Mr Mandela remembered me and gave me a job taking tourists around my old prison on Robbe n Islannd. I felt bad the first time I talked to a group. All the terror and fear of that time came back to me. I re membered the beatings and the cruelty of the guards and my friends who had died. I felt I would not be able todo it, but my family encouraged me. They said that the job and the pay from the new South African government were my reward after working all my life for equal rights for the Blacks. So now at 51 I am proud to show vis itors over the prison, for I helped to make our people free in their own land.。
