Unit 4 Body languageⅠ.阅读理解(2017·浙江高三五校联考第一次考试)Ninety percent of Americans drive to work every day although working from home is on the rise.If you’re lacking for topics of conversation at a party,chatting about your commute is a pretty safe bet.According to a recent study,driving for more than two hours each day can steadily decrease the IQ of middle aged drivers.The Sunday Times of London detailed the study,which looked into the lifestyle choices of over 500,000 Britons between the ages of 37 and 73.When looking at the data of the 93,000 participants who drove more than two to three hours per day,the study found a noticeable dropoff in brainpower,measured by intelligence and memory tests.The study found similar results with participants who took part in several hours similarly sedentary (久坐的) activity,like television watching.As it turns out,stimulating activity stimulates your brain,while non-stimulating activity,well,doesn’t stimulate your brain.“Cognitive (认知的) decline is measurable over five years because it can happen fast in middle-aged and older people.This is associated with lifestyle factors such as smoking and bad diet—and now with time spent driving,” Kishran Bakrania,a medical epidemiologist at the University of Leicester told the Times.Fortunately for most Americans,the average commute time was recorded at approximately 26.5 minutes according to the 2015 United States Census.And if you think that the way to pump up your IQ is through brain games,think again.Just try and avoid those long hours on the road if possible,and if you happen to have free time on your commute,be sure to use it wisely.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

必修4 Unit 4 Body language李仕才一、阅读理解AThe biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a backpacking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called the Scrubba Wash Bag, that worry may be a thine of the past.The portable washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while he was planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he quitted his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag's design. By 2012, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a disadvantage with his invention —dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Bag solves that problem.In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two or three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! What's even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13 liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.The best part is that the 99dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when it's not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Bag, wandering through foreign cities, searching for a laundry, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了Scrubba Wash Bag的产生背景和功能。

核心素养测评十九必修4 Unit 4 Body language(限时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解AWhen medical staff are in full scrubs(手术衣), their faces are almost completely covered by their caps and face masks, and we can only see their eyes and eyebrows. In order to solve the problem, a doctor in Sydney Australia, called Rob Hackett launched a campaign named “Theatre(手术室) Cap Challenge” to encourage medical staff to write their names and roles on their caps. At first, his colleagues didn’t take it seriously. However, with time going on, it has been adopted around the world with studies from the US and UK reporting how this simple idea can decrease human errors in health care.“I went to a theatre where there were about 20 doctors and nurses in the room, ” Dr. Rob Hackett said. “I struggl ed to even ask to be passed some gloves because the person I was pointing to thought I was pointing to the person behind him, because I don’t know their names, ” said Rob. As we all know, doctors are a stressful profession. When faced with life and death, they need to save the patient’s life for a second. At the moment, effective communication is important.“The ‘Theatre Cap Challenge’ is in response to the concern that avoidable mistakes and poor communication are contributing to many harmful events for our patients, ” said Rob. “We need to develop systems which reduce mistakes and misunderstanding without causing any harm. Besides, we need to let the patients know we’re humans, ” he added.On the other hand, from the patients’ viewpoint, caps wit h names on them can make patients more unworried. When everyone appears the same, it is extremely difficult to distinguish who is who. Knowing the name and position of every staff member around them can make them relaxed.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 文章介绍了澳大利亚医生Rob发起了一项活动, 该活动旨在激励医务人员在手术帽上写上名字和职位, 以便改善医务人员之间的沟通, 削减错误的发生, 同时也使病人更加放松。

Chen Zijiang,1.who is a papercutting expert,learned to do papercutting from an early age.Mr Chen told me that papercutting was a Chinese folk art 2.with a long history.For example,paper cuts of animals 3.found(find)in tombs date back to the Northern and Southern Dynasty.From his 4.introduction(introduce),I have learned that there are three types of paper cuts today.People usually put 5.up paper cuts on windows and gates during holidays 6.to_bring(bring)good luck.Also,it is used on presents or is used to celebrate weddings.Paper cuts found in temples are used for 7.religious(religion)purposes.In 8.addition(add),paper cuts are used to make patterns on clothing or decorate jewellery boxes,and dragons are very popular patterns for these designs.I got a lot of useful information for my article from 9.what Chen had said.I was also ready 10.to_try(try) out paper-cutting for myself.Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe British—and especially the English—are bad at complaining.Because of British politeness rules,according to which confrontation(对抗) should be avoided,people either just do not complain,or sometimes bottle it up and then explode in an inappropriate outpouring of aggressive complaints.In fact,there is a TV programme which shows the British in typical situations where they would be perfectly justified(有正当理由的) in complaining,but they don’t.In one scene,a woman reads a newspaper over people’s shoulders and the people say nothing or look embarrassed.The British are also well-known for putting up with bad service everywhere from restaurants to airports and railway stations because the standard rules of behaviour say that it is bad to draw attention to yourself.This is why,when you travel on the Tube in London and there is yet another delay,the passengers will look at eachother,sigh,smile wearily and raise their eyes to heaven.They might even say,‘Huh!Typical!’ in a resigned tone of voice that says that there’s nothing that can be done about it.When complaints are made,they are made in an apologetic or a humorous tone of voice.In France,on the other hand,angry passengers might riot(闹事) and burn down the subway station if they had to put up with the poor service that the London Underground provides.Americans and other Europeans,who are much more direct and in-your-face than the British,often wonder why British people always say “sorry” or “excuse me”when they complain.“It’s like they’re apologizing for something that isn’t their fault,”they say.They are m issing the point.British people are not really sorry—it is because the word “sorry” actually works as a distancing mechanism(技巧).This is important in terms of negative politeness and not drawing attention to yourself.If you do not say “sorry”or use other d istancing words like“could”,“would”,“might”,“possibly” and so on,you will be seen as rude.1.What does the underlined part “bottle it up” in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Put something into bottles.B.Not do anything dangerous.C.Cause problems by hesitating.D.Not allow emotions to be seen.2.The French tend to .A.tolerate bad serviceB.enjoy taking the subwayC.make a complaint humorouslyD.express their dissatisfaction directly3.When the British say “sorry”,they actually want to .A.try not to be rudeB.apologize sincerelyC.show their feelings directlyD.draw attention to themselves4.Which can be the best title for the text?A.How to complainplaining politelyC.Poor service in BritainD.Politeness rules across the worldBEnjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater.These days,musicians are performing in private homes,at haircutting shops,at airports...even on ferry boats.Musicians like house concerts.At music clubs,they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol.People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O' Hair Salon,Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials.Then,they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space.The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon,near the hairdryers and makeup tables.“This is our first show at a hair salon,”Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last week's performance.Frank said she and band members,Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time“interacting” with the audience.Concerts in people's homes,or small businesses such as O' Hair's,are becoming more popular,musicians say.“There is a more relaxed atmosphere,”said Domenic Cicala,a musician who opened up his O' Hair Salon to concerts.“People really get to know the artists.”At house concerts,people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers.Often,the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend,”said Matt Hart,with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers,a folkrock group based in Seattle.At many such concerts,the musicians do not need microphones.Yet,every word of their songs can be heard.1.Why do musicians like house concerts?A.Because private homes are easier to get to.B.Because people pay more attention to their music.C.Because they can do other things while performing.D.Because they don't have to bring their microphones.2.What impressed Sarah Frank most at her last week's performance?A.The small performance space.B.Her first show at a hair salon.C.Their interaction with the audience.D.The more relaxed atmosphere.3.How many music groups are mentioned in the text?A.One. B.Two.C.Three. D.Four.4.What may be the best title for the text?A.Musicians struggle to make a livingB.People really get to know the artistsC.Musicians find new places to performD.Concertgoers won't go to music clubs【解题导语】本文主要介绍了现代音乐会在举办场地的选择上更加多样化,私人居所、理发店、机场等都成为音乐家表演的场所,并且备受青睐。

In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread ove r today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walkedlightheartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, a bad day for a picn ic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile.Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of headcutting!It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered(传递). Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and big winners do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising his patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he fails to get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toasted beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh,that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs withthe emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的) person is sure to have.【解题导语】本文主要讲述当我们要告诉别人不好的消息的时候,要注意说话的方式和语气,还要带有同情心。

How can you help kids cope with stress? Proper rest and goodnutrition can improve coping skills, so can good parenting. Make time foryour kids each day. Whether they need to talk with you or just be in thesame room with you, make yourself available.Even as kids get older, quality time is important. It’s really hard for some people to come home after a tiring day of work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about their day—especially if they’ve had a stressful day themselves. But expressing interest in your kids shows that they’ re important to you.Help your child deal with stress by talking about what may be causing it. Together, you can come up with a few solutions. For example, he should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time talking with his parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal.You can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For example, let a child know ahead of time, but not too far ahead of time, that a doctor’s appointment is coming up and talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably won’t need too much advance preparation. Too much information can cause more stress.Remember that some level of stress is normal. Let kids know that it’s OK to feel angry, scared, lonely or anxious and that other people share those feelings, too.When kids can’t or won’t discuss these problems, try talking about y our own concerns. This shows that you’re willing to handle tough topics and are available to talk with when they’re ready. If a child shows symptoms that concern you and is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor (顾问)or other mental health experts.Most parents have the skills to cope with their children’s stress. The time to seek professional attention is when any change in behavior continues to exist,when stress is causing serious anxiety, or when the behavior is causing significant problems in functioning at school or at home.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 讲述的是如何帮助孩子处理压力的事情。

In 2014 my best friend’s mother died of cancer.It was a tragedy,but as usual,Alice,my mother,used her power of healing and got his family back on their feet.If you asked my friends about my mother,they would say,“That woman has a heart of gold.”I agree one hundred percent.I think the reason why she is such a wonderful person is that the Holy Spirit lives within her.She is very holy and has persuaded me to go to church with her every Sunday.About six years ago my mom decided to pursue her lifelong goal of becoming a teacher.She knew it would be hard work raising three kids,doing housework and studying at the same time.However,she believed it would pay off.What my mother didn’t realize was that not all things pay off in this unfair world.After four hard years of school,she graduated on a warm spring day.It was unbelievable.My aunt drove up from Virginia to celebrate this fantastic day.It was the first time I had ever cried about being happy.It’s strange how fast a life can change.Two months later,the unpredictable happened.My mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis(多发性硬化症).I could not believe this could happen after all the good she had done for people. I was very confused and cried every day.My faith in God just disappeared and so did my mom’s dream of becoming a teacher.Then,I decided I must move on with my life and accept the fact that she might never get better.Since my decision,I have become more mature,responsible and active in school and work.Through the years I have always been able to change negative situations into positive ones.I’m happy with my life now.【解题导语】本文主要讲述了乐观、积极上进的母亲影响作者的故事。

In it,Woolf describes that it’s circumstance not talent alone that allows men to be more successful at writing.Women,in other words,spend so much time cooking,cleaning,and tending to their children that they have no time left for art. To write well,therefore,a woman must have “a room of her own”. While on its surface,this essay appears to be only about writing,it is actually about wealth and class,freedom and imprisonment,and the power struggle between sexes.The Art of WarWritten by ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Zi,The Art of War is widely considered to be one of the best books about military strategy(军事战略) in human history. Consisting of 13 chapters,each dealing with a separate aspect about how to fight a war,the book has been translated into many languages and has thousands of editions. For centuries,it has been used to train military leaders for its detailed study of military strategy and effective leadership.Letter to My DaughterThis book of essays and poems by Maya Angelou,a respectable American poet,is written for “the daughter she never had”—the millions of women,both young and old,who she considers to be her “family”. From the viewpoint of a caring,older relative,this book contains lessons selected from her own life experiences,including the birth of her only child,a son,as well as the development and loss of friendship.A Brief History of TimeIf you’re short on time,then why not read about,well,the creation of time?This book,first published in 1998 from brilliant scientist and mathematician Stephen Hawking,explores mindbending questions about the creation of the universe,including if and when it will end,and if so,how. Despite its heavy subject matter,Hawking addresses these questions in a way that’s easy to understand,even for those who know little about physics.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了四本纪实类文学作品。

It was called“Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas and Yucatan”. The author John Loud Stephens had just returned from a long, difficult and dangerous journey through the thick rainforest of southern Mexico and Guatemala. He had once been there with Frederick Catherwood, an architect and artist, to search for the remains of a lost civilization known as the Mayas(玛雅).Very little was known about the Mayas at that time, but Catherwo od’s drawing in the book showed incredible cities with temples, pyramids and other buildings as impressive as those of their northern neighbors, the Aztecs. These cities, however, were deserted. The inhabitants(居民)had disappeared almost a thousand years before.Since that time, far more has been learned about this remarkable civilization. The Mayas had a highly developed system of government and of agriculture, as well as an incredibly accurate system of measuring time. They were also wonderful engineers capable of moving huge blocks stone long distances and cutting them to accurate shapes and sizes.And yet although the Mayas knew about the wheel, they never used it. Neither did they use metals other than copper. What is ever more surprising is that they suddenly abandoned many of their cities and built new ones in the jungle. Some time around AD900, Mayan civilization collapsed. By the year 1200, their last great capital, Chichen Itza, was deserted.Who were these strange people and the even stranger gods they worshipped(崇拜)? What brought about their sudden and mysterious collapse? Some writers have tried to prove that the Mayas had contact with visitors from space and even that they themselves came from another planet. Some people believe that their civilization came to an end because the Mayas never developed a proper resistance to local germs and diseases. All we really know is that when the first Europeans appeared off their coast in 1517, this great and mysterious culture was only a memory.46.Stephen’s book astonished the world because .A.it was the first time people heard about MayasB.the Mayas were excellent builders and farmersC.he had experienced so may difficulties to find this lost civilizationD.it described that the Mayas used to be an advanced civilization 47.One of the most surprising findings about Mayas was that .A.they developed accurate system measuring timeB.they knew how to build pyramids with stonesC.they deserted their cities and moved to new onesD.they built cities which they never lived in48.Mayas civilization collapsed probably in .A.a thousand years before 1841 B.around AD 900C.any year between 1200 and 1517 D.AD1200 49.What brought about Mayan sudden collapse?A.Tropical germs and diseases B.European conquestC.Mysterious force from outer space D.No one knows for sureB篇The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health. Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of human illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is related to food as well. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colour in meats and other food additives(添加剂)caused cancer.Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings(包装)of foods are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to their animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of cows. Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their health, but just to make a profit.The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although some countries have tried to control such things, the practice continues.50. According to this passage, we can know .A. perhaps most of human illness is caused by what we eatB. perhaps most kinds of cancer are related to what people eatC. cancer was discovered in 1945D. science has made food unfit to eat51. Things that are used to keep colours in meats are .A. harmfulB. uselessC. helplessD. dangerous52. All the additives .A. are bright and colourlessB. are not bright and colourfulC. have indirect effects on our healthD. have direct effects on our health53. People use additives .A. to make food more unfit to eatB. to improve the colour and taste of the foodC. to change colour of the foodD. to take off the diseases of the food54. Which of the following is not true?A. Some wrappings of food are harmful.B. Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals.C. “The practice continues” means “things are still going on like that”.D. We needn’t take care of what we eat.1-5 ACACC6-10 CBDBC11-15CCBDD16-20ACBBD21-25CAADB26 – 45 ABCAD BDACC ABDCA BBACD46-54 DCBD AACBD。

Unit 4 Body languageⅠ.阅读理解(2017·浙江高三五校联考第一次考试)Ninety percent of Americans drive to work every day although working from home is on the rise.If you’re lacking for topics of conversation at a party,chatting about your commute is a pretty safe bet.According to a recent study,driving for more than two hours each day can steadily decrease the IQ of middle aged drivers.The Sunday Times of London detailed the study,which looked into the lifestyle choices of over 500,000 Britons between the ages of 37 and 73.When looking at the data of the 93,000 participants who drove more than two to three hours per day,the study found a noticeable dropoff in brainpower,measured by intelligence and memory tests.The study found similar results with participants who took part in several hours similarly sedentary (久坐的) activity,like television watching.As it turns out,stimulating activity stimulates your brain,while non-stimulating activity,well,doesn’t stimulate your brain.“Cognitive (认知的) decline is measurable over five years because it can happen fast in middle-aged and older people.This is associated with lifestyle factors such as smoking and bad diet—and now with time spent driving,” Kishran Bakrania,a medical epidemiologist at the University of Leicester told the Times.Fortunately for most Americans,the average commute time was recorded at approximately 26.5 minutes according to the 2015 United States Census.And if you think that the way to pump up your IQ is through brain games,think again.Just try and avoid those long hours on the road if possible,and if you happen to have free time on your commute,be sure to use it wisely.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。
