课时分层作业(一)阅读理解AThe alarm sounds.Students swing their backpack over their shoulder，board the school bus，make their way to their homeroom and the bell rings－school is back.But for more homes in America，school looks more like students waking up，making their way to the dining room or home office，setting up laptops and learning in the comfort of home.Virtual (虚拟的) schooling，described as “a public school that offers only instruction in which students and teachers are separated by time and/or place, and interaction occurs via computers and/or telecommunications (电信) technologies”，has increased over the past decade.According to the National Education Policy Center，enrollments(注册人数) in virtual schools increased by 17,000 between the 2015－2016 school year and the 2016－2017 school year to 295,518.For Arizona Virtual Academy，a fulltime online public K12 school，they use K12 Inc.curriculums.K12 Inc.serves students in all 50 states and more than 100 countries with digital learning platforms and technology，pr oviding online education.“We are always improving our platforms and the technology that we use to make sure that we're keeping up with the changing trends，not only with education but also with technology，” Dr.Kelly Van Sande said.Another piece of new techn ology they've rolled out is a new app where parents can find virtual schools available in their area.Carrie Faulkner chose to enroll two of her children in Arizona Virtual Academy.She says they've done schooling online in Chicago，in California，at restaurants and on her cousin's floor in Kansas.“It doesn't matter whether he (her son) is on the couch，in his bed or at the kitchen table，he can do schooling wherever he wants to，” Faulkner said.“I wish they had it for me back when I was in school.That would have been awesome.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了近年来越来越受欢迎的虚拟教育。

We didn't see much kindness from others as we grew up，so it made it all the more special.I could hear the smile in his voice when he thanked me for calling.He's the reason I do my best to show kindness to everyone I cross paths with.He's had such a huge influence in my life and I'm so thankful I was able to tell him.1．All of the following are mentioned in Paragraph 2 EXCEPT that ________.A．about twenty kids rode on the Alvin's busB．it seemed that Alvin didn't like naughty studentsC．thanks to Alvin，the kids could eat free ice creamsD．someone sold things like drinks at the local driveinB[细节理解题。

课时分层作业(二十三)Ⅰ.阅读理解AEvery year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world.In September,1923，Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it.They had to be completely rebuilt.One of the most serious earthquakes was in China's Shanxi Province in 1556.It killed almost one million people.We measure an earthquake's strength on the Richter Scale.The Richter Scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA.It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten.Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.The Earth's crust(地壳)is made up of rock called plates.As these plates move，they sometimes crash(撞)against each other，causing the crust to quake.In cities such as Tokyo，where small quakes happen quite often，many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the Earth moves，they move with it.Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes.This can cause fire to break out，which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis(海啸)．These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea.They can be many metres high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities.China，Japan，Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence(发生)of earthquakes in the world.1．The passage is mainly about________.A．scientists who study the earthquakesB．a usual natural disasterC．the way of measuring earthquakesD．what people should do in the earthquakes2．The earthquake in Shanxi Province ________，which is NOT true?A．happened in 1556B．killed almost one million peopleC．was the only earthquake in ChinaD．caused a lot of damage3．Earthquakes________.A．happen all over the worldB．are not seriousC．most possibly happen in JapanD．don't cause much damage4．According to the passage，we know that tsunamis ________.A．can cause earthquakesB．are caused by earthquakesC．only happen on landD．are a way of measuring earthquakes【语篇解读】中国和日本在历史上都曾发生过强烈的大地震，地震会给人类带来什么样的危害呢？1．B[主旨大意题。

I'm also looking to book a few summer festivals this year."I've heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.Attitudes are important.

课时分层作业(二十七)Ⅰ.阅读理解ALanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years，but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.When the world was still populated by huntergatherers，small，tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten million people，they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards，many of those people started settling down to become farmers，and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number.In recent centuries，trade，industrialisation，the development of the nation state and the spread of universal compulsory education，especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades，all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present，the world has about 6,800 languages.The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven.The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages，often spoken by many people，which hot，wet zones have lots，often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around 200 languages；the America's about 1,000；Africa 2,400；and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000，which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages and close to extinction(消亡)，with only a few elderly speakers left.Pick，at random，Busuu in Cameroon(eight remaining speakers)，Chiapaneco in Mexico(150)，Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia(one，with a questionmar k)：none of these seems to have much chance of survival.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了全球语言多样性的发展变化以及现在所面临的危机。

课时分层作业(三十)Ⅰ.阅读理解AEnglish has surely become the global language.Whenever we turn on the news to find out what's happening in East Asia，or Africa，or anywhere，people are being interviewed and telling us about it in English.If people look at the facts about the amazing reach of the English language，many would be surprised.English is used in over 90 countries as an official or semiofficial language.English is the working language of many international institutes(研究所)as well as of most international research scientists.It is also the language that Indian parents and black parents wish their children to learn.It is believed that over one billion people worldwide are now learning English.One of the most important causes of the spread of English around the world is that Europeans are willing to accept it as their language.English is spreading from northern Europe to the south and is now the second language in countries such as Sweden，Norway，Netherlands and Denmark.If one visits any of them，it would seem that almost everyone there can talk in English.Recently，a report said that at the beginning of 2001，English was the most widely known foreign language with 43% of Europeans saying they spoke it.The report also said that with over 89% of the population speaking English，Sweden now has the highest percentage of English speakers.What's more，English is the language rated as most useful to know，and over 77% of Europeans who do not speak English as their first language consider it useful.【语篇解读】本文是说明文，主要讲述了英语在世界上的广泛使用。
1．By writing this passage，the writer mainly wants to tell us________.A．why so many people speak English around the worldB．that English has become a language spoken all over the worldC．about the development of English in EuropeD．something about the En glishspeaking countriesB[主旨大意题。
根据本文的第一句“English has surely become the global language.”以及后文的具体描述可知，作者主要想告诉我们，英语是目前世界上的通用语言。
]2．According to the passage，what has played an important role in spreading English around the world?A．That governments have asked their people to learn it in school.B．That English is the most beautiful language in the world.C．That Europeans are willing to accept English as their language.D．That people have to use English in their work.C[细节理解题。
根据第三段的“One of the most important c auses of the spread of English around the world is that Europeans are willing to accept it as their language.”可知C正确。
]3．What does the underlined word “rated”in the last paragraph mean?A．Stood. B．Agreed.C．Considered. D．Argued.C[词义猜测题。
根据语境以及最后一句的“consider it useful”可知，rate在这里意为“认为；看作”。
]4．What can we learn from the passage?A．Black parents don't want their children to learn English.B．English is used in over 90 countries as an official language.C．Not all international research scientists speak English at work.D．English has become the most important language in Sweden.C[细节理解题。
根据第二段的“English is the working language...as well as of most international research scientists.”可知，并不是所有的国际研究科学人员工作时都使用英语。
]BAs more Europeans arrived in America 500 years ago，they were in such great need of the land that they and the native American Indians battled constantly.By the end of the 19th century，most Indian tribes(部落)were moved to reservations.A lot of their children were taken away to boarding schools to learn to speak English.By the end of the 20th century，more than half of the Native Americans in the US were living in cities.They gave up speaking their old tribal language and only used English.As a result，many Native American languages disappeared and with that their culture.Today some American Indian languages are usually spoken by the older members of the tribes who still live on the reservations.In North America there are 150－170 languages that have at least one speaker.One ancient language spoken by the Northern Paiute tribe has over 100 speakers.But the good news is that some of these people are keeping their culture and language alive.They are also receiving help from the National Geographic Society'sEnduring Voices project，whose aim is to help languages around the world which are dying out.The team meets these “last speakers”．The experts interview them and they are recorded with video，pictures and so on.They also tell old stories which are written down in English so people can learn more about the cultures.Recording the language and culture is only part of the project.The next stage is to pass on the language to the next generation.The Salish tribe is an excellent example of how schools can help.The tribe lives on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana.Their language is spoken by about 50 people aged over 75.So now，the local people have set up a school.It has 30 students aged two to twelve during the day and there are also courses for adults in the evening.【语篇解读】本文属于说明文。
