Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors grammar课时作业Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·江南十校联考)How did the ancient Chinese keep food warm in winter?Facilities like electric rice cookers and electric kettles make it easy for people to keep food warm. In fact, ancient Chinese people used their own methods of heat preservation.•“Wen Ding”，ancient rice cookerThe “Wen Ding” unearthed in Nanjing in 1989 is thought to be the oldest of its kind discovered in China, dating back to the Neolithic Age. The craftsmanship of making the “Wen Ding” was developed in the Bronze Age. The bronze Ding from the Shang and Zhou dynasties took on different shapes and structures.•“Ran Lu”，ancient small hot potThe “Ran Lu” is a sm all-sized cooking vessel (器皿) made of bronze. A charcoal (木炭) stove forms the main structure, with a bottom tray to hold charcoal ashes, and a movable cup at the top. Some experts have concluded that the vessel’s structure suggests it may have been used as a small hot pot and that these vessels became popular in the Warring States Period(475－221 BC)．•Bronze You, ancient kettleThe Bronze You was one of the most common wine containers during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The Bronze You can also be used to warm wine. For example, the Bronze You with a beast mask design, unearthed in Jiangxi Province, has an opening where charcoal could be placed.•Bronze Yan, ancient steamerAlthough the “Wen Ding” was effective at keeping food warm, the ancient Chines e people later found that its burning produced pollution. As a result, the Bronze Y an was made with a two-tier structure and used to steam rice and other grains. After the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 25－AD 220), further improvements to the Bronze Yan led to the modern-day steamer.语篇解读：本文主要介绍了古代中国人在冬天如何给食物保温。

四、阅读理解
In 1885,the Republic of France,important friend during the American Revolution,donated the largest statue in the world,Liberty Enlightening the World,to the United States of America.The statue would celebrate its century of independence.To ship it,the statue was broken down into 350 pieces.And now,spread across Bedloe’s Island in New York Harbour,it sat in 214 wooden packing boxes.The problem was that New York had no money to reassemble it.Six other cities,less affected by the recent economic decline,had the money and bid to build it.
D.To raise money for the Statue of Lib三段第一句中的“Pulitzer set the fund-raising goal”并结合第三至五段的内容可知,Pulitzer所做的努力就是为自由女神像筹集资金。故D项正确。

Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors using language课时作业阅读文章，选择正确答案，回答问题。

APeople and the sources of air pollution are found in the same places. This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes from cars. Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities. Another major source of dirty are is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the country.On the average, we throw away more trash and garbage than the year before. The burning of garbage contributes to air pollution. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes from iron, steel, chemical, and petroleum production add particles to the air.The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy for traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode. In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the life of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death.1. The key point of the passage is that ______.A. the cause of air pollution is peopleB. the causes and the effects of air pollution are both found in citiesC. the effects of air pollution range from headaches to deathD. air pollution is caused by dirty air2. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To persuade people to stop polluting the airB. To tell the causes of air pollutionC. To tell why cities are bad places to liveD. To describe why cities are bad places to live3. Why is air pollution more grave in the city than in the country?A. Because there are larger populations in cities.B. Because the air in the city is dirty.C. Because there are more cars in the city.D. Because there are much more gas fumes from cars and burning of coal and oil for energy in the city than in the country.4. The fumes from coal and oil may cause metal ______.A. to turn blackB. to become rustyC. to corrodeD. to twist5. In larger cities, the fumes from coal and oil may contribute to ______.A. heart diseaseB. lung diseaseC. loss of clear visionD. serious headache答案：1. B2. A3. D4. C5. BBAt present, Specialization has become an increasing important factor in a great many careers. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people“generalists”. And these “generalists” are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people’s work, to begin it and judge it. The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained” man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalists and especially the administrator deal with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated” man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time, you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.1. There is an increasing demand for ______.A. all round people in their own fieldsB. people whose job is to organize other people’s workC. people whose educational background is either technical or professionalD. specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others2. The specialist is ______.A. a man whose job is to train other peopleB. a man who has been trained in more than one fieldC. a man who can see the forest rather than the treesD. a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters3. The administrator is ______.A. a “trained” man who is more a specialist than a generalistB. a man who sees the trees as well as the forestC. a man who is very strong in the humanitiesD. a man who is an “educated” specialist4. During your training period, it is important ______.A. to try to be a generalistB. to choose a profitable jobC. to find an organization which fits youD. to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist5. A man’s first job ______.A. is never the right job for him.B. should not be regarded as his final jobC. should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any jobD. is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final job答案：1. B2. D3. C4. D5. DCIn some urban centers, work holism is so common that people do not consider it unusual: they accept the lifestyle as normal. Government workers in Washington D.C., for example, frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week. They don’t do this because they have to; they do it because they want to.Work holism can be a serious problem. Because true workaholics (工作狂) would rather work than do anything else, they probably don’t know how to relax.Is work holism always dangerous? Perhaps not. There are, certainly, people who work well under stress. Some studies show that many workaholics have great energy and interest in life. Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics, work and entertainment keep them busy and creative.Why do workaholics enjoy their jobs so much? There are several advantages to work. Of course, it provides people with paychecks, and this is important. But it offers more than financial security. It provides people with self-confidence; they have a feeling of satisfaction when they’ve produced a challenging piece of work and are able to say, “I made that.” Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity through participation in work, they get a sense of self and individualism. In addition, most jobs provide people with a socially acceptable way to meet others. Perhaps some people are compulsive about their work, but their addiction seems to be a safe-even an advantageous-one.1. The passage indicates that workaholics ______.A. just know work but nothing elseB. are willing to work hard for long hours without payC. find their work provide them more satisfaction and self-confidence than how much they are paidD. has the work with more responsibility than others2. One of the reasons that some people are not willing to quit their jobs even in their eighties and nineties is that ______.A. they are in the need of financial securityB. they would rather work than be disturbed by domestic affairsC. they long for a sense of identity and being accomplishedC. they may have health problems from sheer boresom3. This passage is mainly about ______.A. workaholics are usually successful people, but their lives are in a messB. work holism can lead to serious problems but it can also create a joyful lifeC. people who are absorbed in their work may enjoy movies, sports and other kindsof entertainmentD. those who work even under difficult conditions may be very happy4. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. in the eyes of all the common people workaholics are peculiarB. to workaholics, work is the sole source of happinessC. a piece of challenging work may provide the workaholics a sense of satisfactionD. workaholics are as addicted to their job as other people are to drugs or alcohol答案：1. C2. C3. B4. D。

Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors Using language课时作业第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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。

A(2018·山东德州期中)When I was 5，my father worked the night shift as a nurse in a hospital.He was always carrying his stethoscope(听诊器) so naturally，so I called him “Dr Saldivar” while I pressed his stethoscope against his chest.But my father，as a humble man，was always correcting me：“I am not a doctor，son，but you can be one.” I grew up feeling like I had no limits because of moments like this，which has helped me take risks personally and professionally in spite of the hardships I had to endure.Being born to Mexican immigrants meant that my parents had to work very hard to provide for my family and I had to learn to struggle through school paperwork on my own，because my parents’English was limited and they couldn’t always be there motivating us through the process.If I wanted to succeed academically，my perseverance，and strength would be tested.Perseverance，strength and good education are the gateway to success.And this is especially true when you look at the obstacles that Latinos have to overcome to succeed in public schools.For instance，while the national high school dropout(辍学) rate has decreased significantly，we still have the highest dropout rate in the country.We are more likely to live in poverty and attend racially separated schools.These issues create many other problems for Latinos.To help relieve my family burden，I found my first job when I was 14 at a local hotel.Despite the long hours on my new job，I worked hard.Meanwhile，I continually stressed the importance of getting a respectable education and did everything possible to get one step closer to making my dream a reality.Nearly a decade later，I became the first in my family to graduate from the University of Southern California.Knowing the social，economic，and political struggles that a community faces，I began to pursue journalism to give the disadvantaged minorities a voice.1.What inspired the author when he was a child?A.The encouraging words from his father.B.A nurse in his father’s hospital.C.His curiosity about the stethoscope.D.The hardships he suffered.2.The example in the third paragraph given by the author suggests .A.more Latinos are receiving higher education in Americatino immigrants are still facing many problemsC.American education system is better constructedD.racial separation has long been forbidden in America3.The author chose to become a journalist，hoping to .A.show his success as a LatinoB.enjoy a different lifeC.speak for the disadvantaged LatinosD.repay the sacrifice his parents made4.What does the author try to tell us with his own experience?A.Immigration is an approach to personal success.B.Good education is a way to successful life.C.Disadvantaged Latinos are facing fewer challenges.D.American Dream is inaccessible to the Latinos.B(2018·吉林长春期中)A new tool of communication called the “drift diary”is doing the rounds among young college graduates.The “drift diary”，like those ancient paper messages put into a bottle left to drift on the high seas to reach hundreds of miles away，connects lonely hearts.The “drift diary” was first started by a Beijing woman，who goes by the Net name Little S，in 2007.It has become the preferred tool of communication among youngsters afraid to reveal their innermost self to peers，but wanting to share their lives with others.The way it works is that the initiator(发起人) of the diary mentions it on popular Internet forums such as Tianya and Douban.Those wanting to react or otherwise add to the diary then send their real names and addresses to the initiator via e-mails or text messages.The numbers in one group are usually restricted to between 30 and 50.The diary then passes on to another by express delivery or personal handover.The diary writers are mostly anonymous but if they wish to reveal their identity they can do so by posting their contact information at the end of their postings.The diary writers add not just words but also decorate the plain notebooks with cartoons，drawings or even dress it up with a ribbon or a new cover.Interesting experiences，travel journals，the simple joys of everyday living or sweet recollections of childhood，all find a place in these diaries.Most often，though，the writers set down their frustrations and predicaments.It usually takes one year for a diary to return to the initiator.The last recorder is the luckiest one，with access to all previous entries，while others can request photocopies of these from the diary’s initiator.5.The popularity of “drift diary” among youngsters is because .A.they hate using the InternetB.they like to show themselves to peersC.they want to share their lives with strangersD.they find it fashionable to be a diary writer6.Which one shows the correct way a drift diary works?①The diary then passes on between the recorders.②The diary returns to the initiator.③The initiator of the diary mentions it online.④Participants request photocopies of the diary from the diary’s initiator.⑤Those who want to participate in the program get in touch with the initiator.A.③⑤①④②B.③⑤①②④C.④⑤①②③D.①③⑤②④7.Which of the following can be used as the best title for the passage?A.Drift Diary—A New Tool of CommunicationB.How a Drift Diary WorksC.Share Your Lives with StrangersD.The Diary That Passes OnC(2018·安徽合肥联考)Greece’s finance minister says his country’s financial situation is “terribly urgent” and the crisis could come to a head in a couple of weeks.Yanis Varoufakis gave the warning after eurozone finance ministers met in Brussels to discuss the final 7.2bn tranche(援助资金) of Greece’s 240bn EU/IMF bailout(紧急援助).Ministers said Greece had made “progress” but more work was needed.The Greek government is struggling to meet its payment obligations(责任).Earlier，Greece began the transfer of 750m (￡544m，834m) in debt interest to the International Monetary Fund—a day ahead of a payment deadline.“The liquidity(资产流动性) issue is a terribly urgent issue.It’s common knowledge，let’s not beat around the bush，” Mr Varoufakis told reporters in Brussels.“From the perspective of timing，we are talking about the next couple of weeks.”Greece has until the end of June to reach a reform deal with its international creditors.Its finances are running so low that it has had to ask public bodies for help.The crisis has raised the prospect that Greece might default(违约) on its debts and leave the euro.In a statement，the eurozone finance ministers said they welcomed “the progress that has been achieved so far in the negotiations，” but added，“We acknowledged that more time and effort are needed to bridge the gaps on the remaining open issues.” Eurogroup chairman JeroenDijsselbloem said there had to be a full deal on the bailout(紧急财务援助) before Greece received any further payments.“There are time constraints(限制，约束) and liquidity constraints and hopefully we will reach an agreement before time runs out and before money runs out.” he said.There had been fears that Greece would default on its IMF debt repayment due on Tuesday.However，a Greek finance ministry official was quoted as saying that the order for repayment had been executed(实施) on Monday.Almost 1bn has been handed over to the IMF in interest payments since the start of May.It is unclear how the government came up with the funds，but the mayor of Greece’s second city Thessaloniki revealed last week that he had handed over cash reserves in response to an appeal for money.8.Which of the following could be the worst result if Greece defaulted on its debts?A.The International Monetary Fund would cancel the debt of Greece.B.The EU would help Greece rebuild its financial system.C.Greece might have to leave the eurozone.D.The eurozone would accept Greece.9.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A.The EU Get ChallengedB.The International Monetary Fund ReformC.The EU Face Economic CrisisD.Greece Two Weeks from Cash Crisis10.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A.People fear that the International Monetary Fund can’t pay Greece for debt repayment.B.Greece succeeded in paying interest payments to the IMF.C.It is unclear how the government came up with the funds.D.The mayor of Greece’s third city handed over cash reserves in response to an appeal for money. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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。

Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors reading课时作业Passage1（2017届河北衡水中学高三七调）Grey clouds move as low as smoke over the treetops at Lolo Pass. The ground is white. The day is June 10.It has been snowing for the past four days in the Bitterroot Mountains. Wayne Fairchild is getting worried about our trek over the Lolo Trail-95 miles from Lolo Montana to Weippe in Idaho, across the roughest country in the West. Lewis and Clark were nearly defeated 200 years ago by snowstorms on the Lolo. Today Fairchild is nervously checking the weather reports. He has agreed to take me across the toughest, middle section of the trail.When Lewis climbed on top of Lemhi Pass,140 miles south of Missoula, on Aug.12,1805,he was astonished by what was in front of him; ＂high mountain chains still to the West of us with their tops partially covered with snow.＂Nobody in what was then the US knew the Rocky Mountains existed, with peaks twice as high as anything in the Appalachians back East.Today their pathway through those mountains holds more attraction than any other ground over which they traveled, for its raw wilderness is an evidence to the character of two cultures: the explorers who braved its hardships and the Native Americans who prize and conserve the path as a sacred (神圣的)gift. It remains today the same condition as when Lewis and Clark walked it.The Lolo is passable only from July to mid-September. Our luck is holding with the weather, although the snow keeps getting deeper. As we climb to Indian Post Office, the highest point on the trail at 7,033 ft, we have covered 13 miles in soft snow, and we hardly have enough energy to make dinner.
