高中英语 Unit 2 The United

感顿市安乐阳光实验学校Unit 2 The United Kingdom
【导语】英国是个以城市为主的国家，80%的人都生活在城市里。

在世界上英国是个有着巨大影响力的国家。

The United Kingdom is a nation of cities.The United Kingdom is one of the most urban nations in the world.Eighty percent of its people live in cities.London has almost 8 million people.
London is the centre of British life.It is the nation's leader in economy，politics，art，education，and entertainment.It is one of the world's greatest cities.People from all over the world visit London.People from many parts of the world now live there，and you can hear African，Asian，and other languages spoken there.It is the capital of the United Kingdom.
Almost everyone in the United Kingdom speaks English.Some people in Wales speak only Welsh.Generally，however，everyone in the United Kingdom can talk with everyone else.This is one way in which the nation is united.
Another way in which the people are united is by their
religion.Ninety-five percent of the British people are Protestant.The Anglican Church is the largest in England.The Presbyterian Church is the largest in Scotland.Although religion is a unifying idea for most of the nation，it divides the people in Northern Ireland.
Most British citizens read and write English.This is mainly because free elementary and secondary education is given to each child in the United Kingdom.Children go to school between the ages of five and sixteen.University education，however，is limited to those who can pass strict tests.

高考英语阅读理解篇章结构分析
(全国Ⅰ卷C篇)
【语篇解读】主要介绍了作者在一次运送造血干细胞途中的一段经历，表现了人与人之间的友爱。

I am Peter Hodes，a volunteer stem cell courier．①Since March 2012，I've done 89 trips—of those，51 have been abroad.I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞)in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last.In all，from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者)to the time they can be implanted in the patient，we've got 72 hours at most.So I am always conscious of time.
我是彼得·霍兹，一个干细胞快递的志愿者。

自3月以来，我已经运送干细胞89次，其中51次是在国外。

我必须在42小时内把装在小盒子里的干细胞运到，因为那是我带着的两个冰袋所能坚持的时间。

总之，从干细胞从捐献者身上摘取下来到它们可以植入病人体内，我们最多有72小时，所以我总是有时间意识。

I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America.I picked up the stem cells in Providence，Rhode Island，and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London.But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence，the lady on the desk said：“Well，I'm really sorry，I've got some bad news for you—there are no flights from Washington.”So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said：“In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient—please，please，you've got to get me back to the Un ited Kingdom.”She just dropped everything.②She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me，re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.
去年有一次我在赶上一场飓风。

我在罗得岛州的普罗维登斯拿到了干细胞，打算飞往华盛顿，然后返回伦敦。

但是当我到达机场时，前台的那位女士说：“我真的很抱歉，我有一些坏消息要告诉你，没有一架飞机从华盛顿起飞。

”我拿起我的箱子，把它放在桌子上，说：“在这个盒子里是一些干细胞，一个病人迫切需要的，请帮忙，你必须安排我飞回到英国。

”她马上放下手中的事情，把我安排在一架小飞机上，为我改道通过纽瓦克，让我回到英国。

我甚至比原计划提前到达。

For this courier job，you're consciously aware that in that box you've got something that is potentially going to save somebody's life.
对于一个干细胞运送者来说，你会明显地意识到你手里这个盒子里的东西，可能会挽救某人的生命。

【解题提示】本文是故事类阅读短文。

第30、31题都是很简单的细节理解试题。

第29题词义猜测题稍难些。

注意此类试题的答题技巧。

1.根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。

2.根据同位关系进行猜测。

3.根据构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)进行猜测。

4.根据转折或对比关系进行猜测。

在本文中要根据上下文对作者工作的描写来推测出正确的词义。

29．Which of the following can replace the underlined word“courier”in Paragraph 1?
A．provider B．delivery man
C．collector D．medical doctor
解析：词义猜测题。

考查词义猜测→寻读法→根据第一段第三句话“I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞)in my little box...”可知作者是运送干细胞的人，也就是delivery man。

故选B。

答案：B
30．Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours?
A．He cannot stay away from his job too long.
B．The donor can only wait for that long.
C．The operation needs that much time.
D．The ice won't last any longer.
解析：细节理解题。

考查细节理解→寻读法→根据第一段第三句
“...because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last.”可知这两块冰只能持续42小时，所以彼得不得不在42小时内完成旅程，故选择D。

答案：D
31．Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?
A．To London. B．To Newark.
C．To Providence. D．To Washington.
解析：细节理解题。

考查细节理解→寻读法→根据第二段最后一句“She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me，re-routed me through Newark and got me back to the UK...”可知那位前台女士安排一架小飞机特意为彼得在纽瓦克改道。

所以那位女士安排彼得首先去的是纽瓦克的航班。

故答案为B。

答案：B

Ⅰ.阅读理解
阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。

All hotels are restored periodically.However，few do it as frequently as Sweden's Icehotel.Located in a remote village of Sweden，the hotel is constructed entirely from ice and therefore，has to be rebuilt annually.
The 26-year-old tradition began accidentally in 1989 when locals organized an art exhibition to attract winter visitors.Among the tourists was an adventurous group that announced their intention of spending the night in the building where the exhibition was being held.That's when the idea of building the icy accommodations occurred
to the locals.
Each year，the preparations begin in March and the construction starts in November.Within eight to twelve weeks，Icehotel is ready to welcome its first visitors until mid-April.After that，the beautiful structure will slowly melt into one giant pool.
Among this year's unique suite(套房)offerings is the “Elephant in the Room”．It features a 3-metre tall sculpted elephant overlooking an ice-framed bed.For those seeking something more cutting-edge，there are ones themed after a Swedish horror film and local fairy tales.To get a good night's rest，guests have to snuggle inside their sleeping bags with gloves and hats on.Though that seems a little uncomfortable，visitors say it is an experience like none other.
The hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100 couples will get married this year and an ice bar that will serve drinks in glasses carved from ice.Though dining options are limited to the hotel's only restaurant，guests will have little to complain about with Michelin-trained chef Alexander Meier in charge.To keep customers entertained，the hotel offers a lot of fun activities like snowshoeing，dog sledding，and even overnight wilderness camping.

4____ Help your child write down his goals in an easy-to-follow form.Being able to see and check off the steps on the way to his goal
