While help has always been available for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs. ＂People could see that Emma has special needs but because Cameron was doing so well at school, his teachers never thought there was a problem with him.＂ says Alison.It took Alison and her husband a while to realize their son was different. Cameron’s ability didn’t become clear until he began primary school. Once he even corrected the teacher when she told the class that zero was the lowest number. Cameron told her she was wrong because there were negative numbers (负数). He was four at the time. Now 14-year-old Cameron is at secondary school, studying for a distance learning math degree with the Open University, having sailed through his GCSE at 11 and his A-level at 12, achieving top grades.Bethany, another daughter of Alison, is bright too but not gifted.

The 22-year-old biology major at Huazhong University of Science and Technology found a job as an IT technician in Shanghai. ＂My experience in the club gave me another ‘diploma’,＂ said Mu. ＂More importantly, I found something I am good at and can make a living from.＂Now campuses (校园) around the country have started recruiting (招收) fresh faces for all kinds of clubs. Upperclassmen and experts suggest a hobby-based choice of clubs, which might have a lasting impact (影响)on one’s life and career. Zhang Ling did not get many chances to write stories as an environmental protection major at Jiangxi University of Science and Technology. But this changed when she joined the university broadcasting station. Her daily interviews with students and teachers expanded her horizons. Now she is determined to become a journalist on environmental issues with her degree in environmental protection. ＂Journalism changed my life track,＂ said the 22-year-old girl. ＂I only wanted to be a science teacher in a local senior high school. But now I am applying for a graduate school in journalism.＂Lan Yujie, a professor at Anhui University of Technology, regards Mu and Zhang as good examples of choosing ＂what I like＂ instead of ＂what is practical＂ in finding jobs and seeking further study. ＂Some freshmen don’t know what to choose,＂said Lan. ＂Just following a hobby and doing something you like can easily give you the experiences that make you happy and special.＂Lan further says that joining clubs should not necessarily have a purpose. As part of campus life, a club experience will impact one’s life and career in one way or another. ＂The point of clubs is to have as many diverse(多样的)experiences as possible so that students can explore more of their life,＂ said Lan.8.Why did Mu Yumin join the computer club?A. To get another diploma.B. To change his major.C. To find a good job.D.

Club experiences will affect students’ life and career.B. Students should be practical in finding jobs.C. Joining clubs should have a clear goal.D. Students will have a colorful campus life by joining clubs.11.What is the main idea of the text?A. How to change your major.B. Joining a campus club for a diploma.C. How to find a job after graduation.D. Joining a club to explore more of your life.DMonty Hempel is a professor of environmental sciences at Redlands University in California. He studies ecological literacy —or eco-literacy, for short. Eco-literacy is the ability to think about and understand the natural processes that make life possible.Monty Hempel says eco-literacy gives people knowledge about environmental problems. But he says it does not always work on getting them to change their behavior.Mr. Hempel wrote part of the Worldwatch Institu te’s latest State of the World report. He says in his article, ＂Some people think that eco-literacy is just a green form of science literacy. And what I have tried to ask is whether that’s enough. In other words, what an ecologically-literate person needs to know might include things like the effect of environmental pollution on ecosystem, the energy systems, and all of those kinds of things that we would call the science of ecology.＂＂That doesn’t seem to lead to action to protect our environment — to protect our life-support system to the level that we need to. Just knowing a lot about theenvironment doesn’t mean that we actually act to save it. After all, actions speak louder than knowledge. ＂He adds that people may not be very worried about environmental problems if they seem far away. ＂Some people call it psychological distance. A lot of climate issues are worse in the Arctic and most of us don’t spend time in the Arctic. And so, there’s a certain distance. But there’s also a distance that’s happening in the world as it urbanizes — people spending more time in front of screens and less time out in nature. We become, if you will, disconnected from the natural systems that used to be the key to success for a human being. ＂To help children discover the wonders of nature, he adds that children should learn about nature in school. But he also points out we have a high mountain for people to climb from knowledge to action.12.From what Monty Hempel says in Paragraph 3, we learn that _________.A. knowledge on environmental protection is not enoughB. knowledge that children learn at school is uselessC. eco-literacy can help people understand how nature worksD. people with enough knowledge will protect the environment well13.What is especially important for environmental protection in Mr. Hempel’s opinion?A. Knowledge.B. Action.C. Green living.D. Psychological distance.14.Mr. Hempel thinks people show no concern about some environmental problems because .A. they lack knowledge on environmental protectionB. they have no awareness of environmental protectionC. some environmental problems are not worse at allD. some environmental problems happen far away15.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Experts think it is the best way to learn nature in school.B. Climbing a high mountain is a good way to exercise well.C. Changing people’s attitude to environmental protection is hard.D. Knowledge can help children take action to protect the environment.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 2 Working the landⅠ.阅读理解As Leonardo da Vinci’s interests were varied,his research covered a great range,including various aspects of applied mechanics(应用力学).Therefore,some of his biographers think such a man,having great artistic genius,would “waste”precious years of his life on such a “lowly” pursuit as engineering.To appreciate Leonardo’s contribution to technology,one need only examine his analysis of the main problem of technology.In Leonardo’s time,the main burden of human industry still relied on the muscles of humans and animals.But little attention was given to analyzing this primitive muscle power so that it could be used most effectively for the required tasks.Against this background,Leonardo’s approach to work was revolutionary.When he searched for the most efficient ways of using human muscle power,the force of every leg and arm was analyzed and measured.Consider Leonardo’s painstaking approach to the construction of canals.After analysis of constructing a particular canal by hand,he concluded that the only reasonable solution was to mechanize the whole operation.Then he considered and finally abandoned numerous plans in the course of the construction.Having systematically rejected several solutions in this way,Leonardo began to consider using a system of cranes (吊车).Power was again his main concern.To activate a crane,the only transportable motor available at the time would have been a treadmill(踏车).This is not to suggest that Leonardo invented the treadmill.However,it was Leonardo who first used the principle of the treadmill reasonably and in accordance with engineering principles.Because Leonardo’s insights were sometimes so far beyond the standards of his time,their importance to the development of modern engineering is often undervalued.Many scholars,in fact,still refused to concede that Leonardo was one of our earliest and most significant engineers.1.Why does the author consider Leonardo’s approach to work “revolutionary” in Paragraph 2?A.Because he attempted to replace humans and animals with machines.B.Because he adapted traditional solutions to previously impossible tasks.C.Because he studied muscle power in a way that no one had used before.D.Because he moved the main burden of industry from human to animal power.2.Which of the following can best describe Leonardo?A.Cautious but anxious.B.Considerate but painful.C.Cooperative and efficient.D.Determined and creative.3.What does the underlined word “concede” in the last paragraph mean?A.Admit.B.Prove.C.Explain.D.Revalue.语篇解读:本文是议论文。

Unit 2 Working the land阅读理解·组块专练——练速度(限时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·河南省普通高中毕业班高考适应性测试)Last Friday, 6yearold Landon Johnson went to the RiverTown Crossings Mall in Grandville with his family. While there, the boy and his cousins took turns chatting with Santa, sharing their Christmas desires.After telling the man in red he wanted a Wii, a toy dinosaur and a remotecontrol car, Landon hopped off Santa's lap to rejoin his family. But a fewmoments later, he raced back to Santa's side: he'd forgotten to tell himsomething important. Specifically, Landon shared his worry with Santa thathis autism (自闭症) would land him on the “naughty list”．His mom, Naomi Johnson, explained to WOODTV this week that Landon is often told he's “naughty” by people who mistake his autism for bad behavior. “You get the stares when you're at the grocery store if he's too loud，” Johnson said. “He's been told by other people before, ‘You don't need to be so naughty，’ or ‘Why are you naughty？’．”Johnson says Santa took the time to listen to Landon's worries, and held the boy's hands all the while. “Santa sat him next to him and took Landon's hands in his and started rubbing them, calming them down. Santa asked Landon if it bothered him, having Autism? Landon said yes, sometimes. Then Santa told him it shouldn't. It shouldn't bother him to be who he is，” Johnson said.Landon told Santa that he sometimes “gets in trouble at school and it's hard for people to understand that he has autism”，but that he's “not a naughty boy”．“You know I l ove you and the reindeer love you and it's OK. You're a good boy，” Santa told WOODTV about the chat with Landon. “You're a good boy, you know.”Johnson said she was incredibly moved by Santa's thoughtful words. “This stranger in a red suit told my son the same message I've been trying to get through to him for a while now —that he's special and I love him just the way he was made，” the mom told . “Seeing Landon's face light up in that moment was just incredible. I couldn't stop crying. He was the real Santa Claus.”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。

He had more than 160 reports as a reporter on the Metro desk and more than 170 in 19 months as a national journalist based in Kansas City，Mo.But perhaps the most important piece of writing that A．G.Sulzberger did for The New York Times before Wednesday—when he was named deputy publisher—was not an article and was not published in The Times，but was all about The Times.That work came to be known as the “innovation(创新)report”，which zeroed in on the importance of a digital future for the newspaper his family has owned since 1896 and said The Times risked losing its leading place if it did not make sweeping changes.In a conversation in his office on Wednesday，Mr.Sulzberger said he saw the innovatio n report and the thinking that led to his conclusions as“a wakeup call to the newsroom that we were at risk of missing the moment”．“It was always easy to see how changes will endanger the traditions of the place，”he said，“but what became really clear to me was not changing was the more dangerous course if we cared about the traditions of the place.”Unlike some of the former deputy publishers in his role，Mr.Sulzberger has been more experienced in the newsroom than in advertising or consumer marketing.Still，his colleagues described him as a quick study whose modesty masked deep inner confidence.Besides，in the newsroom or out on an assignment，Mr.Sulzberger did not show off his connection to The Times' owners.“I recognized the name.”said Vincent Bova，a video editor who figured in a feature article that Mr.Sulzberger wrote in 2010.“I mean，I knew I was dealing with royalty.There was no reason for me to bring that up with him，and he didn't.”So Mr.Sulzberger，in some way，has qualified himself for the position since long time ago.1．A.G.Sulzberger wrote the“innovation report”mainly to ________.A．urge revolutions in The TimesB．gain the position of deputy publisherC．promote changes in New York CityD．show directions to his family future2．What is the biggest threat to traditional media according to Mr.Sulzberger?A．Scientific developments.B．Rapid social changes.C．Their own stubbornness.D．Decreasing readers.3．How does the author show us what Mr.Sulzberger is like in the last paragraph?A．By comparing him with others.B．By interviewing him in person.C．By giving examples of his routines.D．By quoting comments from others.4．What does the author think of Mr.Sulzberger according to the passage?A．Casual. B．Objective.C．Admirable. D．Critical.【解题导语】本篇文章属于人物介绍类，介绍了著名出版人A.G.Sulzberger 对《纽约时报》的重要贡献，还介绍了他提出的“创新报道”理论以及他人对他的评价。

Unit 2 Working the land一、阅读理解In the dead of winter，we don’t typically think about spending time outdoors，but according to many physicians we should.The sun is our greatest source of a vitamin that is essential for good health—VitaminD．This important vitamin strengthens bones and teeth and is linked to the prevention of heart disease，cancer and many other lifethreatening diseases.The recommended daily requirement is 400－600 International Units (IU). In summer, people with dark brown eyes and darker skin turn sunlight from just 15 minutes outside without sunscreen into adequate amounts of Vitamin D．Even during winter, just a 10minute walk at midday can keep the body’s Vitamin D at healthy levels.During brief winter walks，we receive the greatest benefits when we wear no sunscreen and expose as much skin to the sun as possible.Vitamin D can be also obtained from foods.Salmon is one of the best sources of the Vitamin.Egg yolks(蛋黄)，cheese，mushrooms and some animal organs contain smaller quantities of it.To attract consumers，food companies add Vitamin D to some of theirmilk products.The practice of putting the Vitamin into milk began in the 1930s.At that time，many children were suffering from rickets，an illness that is caused by a deficiency(缺乏)of Vitamin D．It made the children’s bones soft and weak.Adding Vitamin D to milk helped to solve the problem, and it has been available ever since.For people who still need more Vitamin D, there is another option；Take Vitamin D supplements(补充物)．These products are widely sold in stores.However，anyone considering taking supplements should consult a physician first.【解题导语】本文是一篇科普文，主要介绍了维生素D的一些情况。

Whenever something looks interesting or beautiful, there is a natural desire of us to capture(捕捉) and preserve it—which means, in this day and age, that we are likely to reach for our phones to take a picture.Though this would seem to be an ideal solution, there are two big problems associated with taking pictures. Firstly, we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourage us to take a photograph in the first place. And secondly, because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones, we never get around to looking at them, so sure are we that we’ll get around to them one day.The first person to notice the problems was the English art critic(评论家), John Ruskin. He was a keen traveler who realized that most tourists make a poor job of noticing or remembering the beautiful things they see. He argued that humans have a natural tendency to respond to beauty and desire to have it, but there are better and worse expressions of this desire. At worst, we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs. But, in Ruskin’s eyes, there’s just one thing we should do—attempting to draw the interesting things we see, regardless of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.Ruskin said, “Drawing can teach us to see: to notice properly rather than gaze absentmindedly.In the process of recreating with our own hands what lies before our eyes, we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.”Ruskin deplored the blindness and hurry of modern tourists, especially those who prided themselves on traveling around the whole Europe in a week by train, “Nochanging of places at a hundred miles an hour will make us stronger, happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than men could see, if they ever walked slowly. The really precious things are thoughts and sights, not pace.”【解题导语】本文要紧讨论了旅行中如何享受美景以及游客普遍存在的问题。

必修4 Unit 2 Working the land一、阅读理解A“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”—Albert Einstein If you have a kid with special needs in the school system, chances are you have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My fiveyearold daughter Syona has cerebral palsy(脑瘫) and it means, combined with her communication challenges and sight problems, that standard assessments (and by “standard”， I mean the ones used to assess kids with special needs) aren't always an accurate measure of her abilities.By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26yearold teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, who starts his special education class by calling up each student individually to give them much admiration and a high five. I couldn't help but be reminded of Syona's teacher and how he supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confide nce and selfworth increase rapidly，” he said. All I could think was: How lucky these students are to have such a inspirational teacher.Syona's teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: awesome. Her teacher doesn't focus on what can't be done—she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona's confidence increase tenfold. She uses words she wouldn't have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmate's trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We've recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.Ulmer's reach as a teacher goes far beyond the walls of his classroom. In fact, he teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate the strengths of animportant person in our lives.【文章大意】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, custome rs’ intension to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce)has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar shops(实体店)can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.Now, a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to s mell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.1. According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?A.Friendly assistant.B.Unique scents.C.Soft background musicD.Attractive window display.2. E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _______ .A. show the advantages of brick-and-mortar storesB. urge shop assistants to change their attitudeC. push stores to use sights and soundsD. introduce the rise of e-commerce3. Which statement would the writer agree with?A.Put different shop on the products on display.B.Ask every shop assistant to wear light perfume.C.Place fragrant flowers in the shopD.Expose some coffee bean to air inside a coffee shop.4. The main purpose of the passage is to ______ .A. compare and evaluateB. examine and assessC. inform and explainD. argue and discuss【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

Your ability to do your job is dependent upon others getting your work done, and others depend on you to get their work done.Communicate well. Lack of communication is one of the biggest reasons of a team's failure. Seek input from team members so they feel like a valuable part of the team. Communication establishes trust among team members. In addition, communicating well can help prevent and resolve conflict. Meet regularly to keep members involved and aware of your work progress. Post decisions where everyone in the team can see them.Be flexible. In teamwork, priorities and responsibility can change instantly. Stay ready to shift focus. Training team members to be able to do parts of other team members' jobs can be a valuable part of teamwork; being flexible helps to build appreciation for all the parts of the team.Meet deadlines. Work hard to ensure you meet established deadlines when you work in a team environment. Others are depending on your work. Negotiate timelines with your teammates at the start of a project. Doing so allows you to have a say in how work gets accomplished.Establish accountability. All team members must be responsible for the success and failure of the project. Although not every team needs a leader, teams require a formal way to ensure everyone does his part. Try using meetings to report on progress.Celebrate accomplishments and encourage the team. Senior executives may not always recognize the importance of some team members' work. Share congratulations at team meetings and talk about whose work is invaluable in helping you get your work done.语篇解读：本文主要讲述了提高团队工作效率的方法和策略。
