二、单元同类话题热读练
阅读理解
A fresh and gentle wind on your face, soft sand under your feet and blue waters as far as the eye can see. Is there any other Olympic sport that is played in such pleasant conditions as beach volleyball?
“I've gone to a lot of beautiful places, and met a lot of beautiful people. That wouldn't have happened if I had been playing another sport，” said Randy Stoklos,
America's most famous beach volleyball player.
The sport began as a four­a­side game on beaches in
Southern California in the 1920s. The first recorded two­man
game took place there in 1930, and the first tournament was
held in Los Angeles 18 years later. The winners were awarded
a case of Pepsi. In the 1950s, women started playing and the
sport soon spread to Europe and South America. Yet at that time, beach volleyball was more an entertainment show than a sport, with beauty contests included. The Association of Volleyball Professionals was founded in 1983 and beach volleyball developed into a fast, athletic sport. Its world­wide popularity won beach volleyball a place at the 1996 Olympics in Atalanta, where 24 male teams and 16 female teams took part. At present, the US and Brazil are the best in the world at beach volleyball.
The game came to China in the early 1990s and there have been national tournaments since 1994. It became an official event at the Eighth National Games in 1997. China's You Wenhui and Wang Lu finished ninth in the women's beach volleyball world championships in Brazil.

四、读后续写新题型练
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

One winter Sunday, my little sister, Colleen, and I built the greatest snowman ever. We gave him a carrot nose, beautiful hat, cozy scarf and gloves. He was a masterpiece (杰作)．
The next morning when looking outside, we smiled lovingly at him over our meal. We gave him a high­five as we passed by on our way to school. A lot of kids went past our house, so he was the hot topic at our school that morning. It was our pride!
The day dragged on until finally we could rush home. But as our yard came into sight, we saw something wrong. The snowman was gone! We only found a broken stick here, a torn glove there and balls of snow everywhere. Worst of all, the snowman's
once­proud carrot nose lay limp (无力的) and half­eaten.
What had happened? We were both astonished and angry. But then, we were only kids,
who wouldn't have anything taking away our happiness. Actually we knew only one thing:
Our snowman would rise again. And so we rebuilt him.
The next day we came home to find another mess on the front lawn (草坪). For the
rest of the week, the destruction was repeated daily. Each afternoon we'd return to
find our snowman had fallen apart, and then we built again.
By Saturday morning, we had a plan. We borrowed a really big bucket (水桶) from
Mom, filled it with water and left it outside. The next morning, it was frozen solid.
We packed snow all around the ice_block as the base (底座) of the snowman. Then we
built the other parts of it once again. The trap was set, and we waited for the snowman
bullies (破坏者) to come.

Paragraph 1：
On Monday morning, hiding behind the window, we soon saw what we were waiting
for.
Paragraph 2：
Seeing their pained look, we couldn't help laughing.
参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
On Monday morning, hiding behind the window, we soon saw what we were waiting
for. It turned out that there were three of them from our school. They sneaked up
on our snowman and sneered. Taking their places on either side, they pulled back their
legs to deliver powerful kicks. But the moment they hit the hard ice_block of the
base,_sneers turned into shock, then agony and tears. They howled and cursed, gritting
their teeth and stomping their feet.
Paragraph 2：
Seeing their pained look, we couldn't help laughing. They were too funny as they hopped away holding their damaged feet. We just couldn't contain our happiness and excitement. With a hearty laugh, we came out of hiding and sprang into the yard from in side the house.“An eye for an eye! Justice done！”We yelled behind them. And that was the end of our problems with the snow bullies. Ever since then, our snowman was kept guarded and intact until it happily melted into spring water and finally wove into our sweetest childhood memories.。
