必修5 Unit 4 Making the news李仕才Ⅰ.阅读理解AAt 23, my career got going. I was midway through a master's degree at the London School of Economics and Political Science and had been hired as a parttime reporter for a finance website. I got a great onemonth review and my boss asked if I was interested in staying at the company after graduation.However, balancing graduate studies with work was challenging. To deal with it, I checked my real self at my office door. I came in to work, greeted my colleagues and listened more than I contributed in each morning meeting. The small team I worked with often seemed busy, so rather than giving ideas that might get turned down, I stayed back.After four months, my boss called me into his office. The meeting was going well until he told me that despite the great work I had produced, the team had held a meeting and decided, “We don't think it's the right fit.”I must have looked confused.“You're ambitious, intelligent and will be very successful，” my boss said. “But you haven't made enough effort to join the team. You lost the enthusiasm you showed in your interview. That won't work long term, and if I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to get your guard down.”I couldn't believe that performing well at my job wasn't enough to keep it. But I knew my boss was right. They knew that when they hired me, I had no experience in finance reporting, yet they took a chance on me. In meetings I usually contributed last, after I had heard everyone else's suggestions.I did it to show that I was a listener, but also to hide my fears. They liked the person who walked into the interview, and they didn't respect me when I hid that person from them.“Don't leave before you leave.” That advice is essential for women at all stages of our careers. Because we work so hard for success, we don't like to think that we hurt ourselves sometimes. But each of us must change when necessary. In trying to earn a fulltime job, I “leaned back” in order not to show too much of myself or my lack of expertise(专门知识). I learned that the hard way wasn't the way to achieve our goals.【文章大意】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

Unit 4 Making the newsⅠ.阅读理解A(2020·滨州市名校联合第三次质量检测) Although social media allow us to bee more connected to other people than at any time in history，a new study suggests that many Americans feel lonelier than ever before，which is weakening the nation's mental and physical health.The study conducted by the health insurer Cigna，found widespread loneliness，with nearly half of Americans reporting they feel alone，or left out at least some of the time.The nation's 75 million millennials，54% of people surveyed said they feel no one knows them well，and four in 10 reported they “lack panionship”，their “relationships aren't meaningful” and they “are isolated(孤立的) from others”．Douglas Nemecek，MD，Cigna's chief medical officer for Behavioral Health，said the findings of the study suggest that the problem has bee mon，equaling the risks caused by tobacco and the nation's everexpanding waistline.“Loneliness has the same influence on health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day，while obesity(肥胖) less than 10 cigarettes a day，” he said in releasing the report.Nemecek's ments tallied_with those of other leading public health specialists，including former Surgeon General Vivek H．Murthy，MD，who said loneliness should be targeted in public health campaigns like those designed to fight against smoking and obesity.“During my years caring for patients，the worst disease I saw was not heart disease or diabetes；it was loneliness，” Murthy said in a recent cover story in the Harvard Business Review.The new report，produced in Cigna's partnership with the polling pany Ipsos，is based on an online survey of more than 20，000 US adults using the wellregarded UCLA Loneliness Scale to see how widespread loneliness is in America.语篇解读本文是说明文，主题语境是“人与社会”。

At the end of every year, Time picks the best 25 inventions t hat are “making the world better and smarter〞. Here we have picked three of this year’s inventions that could be a part of your life in the near future.The levitating(悬浮的) light bulbThis special light bulb was invented by U．S. artist and scientist Simon Morris. He got the idea of making a light bulb float from hoverboards(悬浮滑板), which he used to dream of having as a kid.But the floating is not the most amazing part. The rejection force between the opposite ends of the magnets(磁铁), which were put in the bottom of the bulb and in the wooden base, does the job. What’s new here is a technology called induction(电磁感应). It allows the light bulb to get power from the base even they are not in contact.Shoes that tie themselvesThey’re not what you think—shoelaces that tie themselves in the way we tie them. Instead, the new shoes have small motors that control their laces. When you step into them, your feet will hit a sensor(传感器) in the shoes and the motor will automatically tighten the laces.But the shoes weren’t just designed for lazy people’s needs. They could actually give athletes an advantage during competition. They are also useful for people who cannot move their arms or fingers easily.The no touch thermometer(体温计)Taking your body temperature usually means putting a thermometer in your armpits(腋窝) and staying still for minutes. It may be easy for you, but it’s an impossible task for little kids.Now, with the new thermometer, users can simply put it 2.5 centimeters from a patient’s forehead and press the button, and it can get reading in two seconds.【解题导语】每到年终岁尾，《时代周刊》都会评选出25项“让世界变得更加美好和智能〞的最优发明。

Making the news李仕才第一节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。

AOnce when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment，and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I've ever had：Be bold and brave—and mighty(强大的) forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past，it was seldom because I had tried and failed.It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all.On the other hand，whenever I had plunged into deep water，forced by courage or circumstance，I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision to bite_off_more_than_you_are_sure__you_can_eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces.They are potential powers we possess: energy，skill，sound judgment，creative ideas—even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly，those mighty forces are spiritual ones.But they are more important than physical ones.A college classmate of mine，Tim，was an excellent football player，even though he weighed much less than the average player.“In one gameI suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line，”said Tim.“I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet (子弹)—and stopped him cold.”Boldness—a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight.But it can be taught to children and developed in adults.Confidence builds up.Surely，there will be setbacks(挫折)and disappointments in life；boldness in itself is no guarantee of success.But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So，always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you'll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.1．Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A．He faced huge risks.B．He lacked mighty forces.C．Fear prevented him from trying.D．Failure blocked his way to success.2．What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?A．Swallow more than you can digest.B．Act slightly above your abilities.C．Develop more mysterious powers.D．Learn to make creative decisions.3．What can be learned from Paragraph 5?A．Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.B．Trying without success is meaningless.C．Repeated failure creates a better life.D．Boldness can be gained little by little.4．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A．To encourage people to be courageous.B．To advise people to build up physical power.C．To tell people the ways to guarantee success.D．To recommend people to develop more abilities.语篇解读：本文为夹叙夹议文，题材为人生哲理。

We were ordinary people taking the bus every day that summer.During the early morning rides，we sat sleepily on our seats.One of the passengers was a small grey man to the center for senior citizens.He walked with a stoop(驼背) and a sad look on his face.We paid little attention to him.Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled to us before sitting down.The driver nodded politely，the rest of us being silent.The next day，the old man boarded the bus energetically，smiled and said loud，“Good morning！”Some of us looked up，amazed，and murmured“Good morning”．The following weeks we were more surprised.Our friend was dressed in a nice old suit with the thin hair carefully combed.He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand.The driver smilingly asked，“Have you got yourself a girlfriend？”He nodded shyly，“She lives at the center.”The other passengers whistled and clapped at him.Charlie bowed before sitting down.Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower.Some regular passengers began bringing him flowers for his bunch.Everyone smiled and joked about it.But one morning he didn’t turn up.When he wasn’t there the following days，we started wondering if he was sick or...We stopped at the center for senior citizens.The staff told us he was fine，but he hadn’t been coming that week.One of his very close friends had died at the weekend.They expected him back on Monday.How silent we were on the rest of the way to work!The next Monday he was waiting at the stop，stooping a bit more and a bit more grey.Inside the bus was a silence，all of us sitting with our eyes filled with tears and wild flowers in our hands.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

高考英语一轮复习Unit4Makingthenews练习含解析新人教版必修50703229Unit 4 Making the newsⅠ.阅读理解APersuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you.According to the ancient Greeks,there are three basic tools of persuasion:ethos,pathos,and logos.Ethos is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience that he is trustworthy,honest and reliable.One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education he has in the field.After all,you’re more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman.A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that he is a good person.If the audience cannot trust you,you will not be able to persuade them.Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with the audience’s emotions.For example,a politician who is trying to convince the audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war.These words are intended to fill the audience with fear,thus making them support him.Similarly,an animal charity might show the audience pictures of injured dogs and cats,to make the viewers feel pity.If the audience feel bad for the animals,they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts,statistics,or other evidence to support your argument.The audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims.Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me”.Although ethos,pathos,and logos all have their strengths,they are often most effective when used together.Indeed,most speakers use a combination of ethos,pathos,and logos to persuade their audience.So,the next time you listen to a speech,watch a commercial,or listen to a friend who try to convince you to lend him some money,be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.1.How is a speaker able to show his ethos to the audience?A.By expressing his sympathy with the audience.B.By telling the audience about his personal preference.C.By using beautiful language to make his statements attractive.D.By showing his knowledge and experience relating to the topic.2.What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?A.Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.B.Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.C.Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D.Political leaders never use pathos to persuade their audience.3.An advertisement for washing powder which claims that “scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using .A.ethosB.pathosC.logosD.a combination of all three语篇解读:文章介绍了三种说服他人的技巧。

10.called(call) The Description of the World according to Marco’s stories in China.Ⅰ.阅读理解ARobert Michael Lipsyte is an American sports journalist and author.He was born on January 16,1938 in New York.Lipsyte’s father was a school head teacher,his mother a teacher.Instead of sharing a game of catch with his father,the two often visited the library and read books.One of Lipsyte’s children,Sam Lips yte,is also an author and teacher at Columbia University in New York.In the first chapter of his book SportsWorld,Lipsyte points out that he did not even attend his first Major League Baseball game until he was thirteen years old.Lipsyte says he was very disappointed with his experience at the game and went to only one more game“as a paying customer”.His third Major League Baseball game was as a sports reporter for The New York Times.As a boy,Lipsyte did play sports,but he felt acute pressure to do better than others at sports which discouraged his interest.This experience later developed into a major theme in some of Lipsyte’s nonfiction works such as SportsWorld and novelslike Jock and Jill and One Fat Summer.The main character of One Fat Summer,Bobby Marks,is an adolescent in the 1950s.He is overweight and does something about it.In 1952,Lipsyte took a summer job as a lawn(草坪) boy and lost forty pounds,ridding himself of the youthful reputation for being fat.In 1978,Robert Lipsyte was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer.His experience with the illness led to another novel for young adults,The Chemo Kid.Fred Bauer,the main character,is an ordinary high school junior and discovers he has cancer.Amazingly,Fred acquires superpowers,apparently due to the treatments,and bees “The Chemo Kid”,fighting for the environment and against drug dealers.Lipsyte was given a position in the New Jersey Literary Hall of Fame (名人堂) in 1993.The Margaret A.Edwards Award is an American Library Association literary award that annually recognizes an author and a specific body of his or her work for “significant and lasting contribution to young adult literature”.Lipsyte won the award in 2001,citing(表彰) four books published from 1967 to 1993.According to the citation,“Lipsyte’s books focus on the search for selfdefinition by young adults.”1.What can we learn about Lipsyte?A.He devoted his childhood to sports.B.He taught at Columbia University.C.He came from an educated family.D.He has only one child in his life.2.What did Lipsyte do the second time he went to a Major League Baseball game?A.He watched the game.B.He reported the game.C.He played the game and lost it.D.He collected material for his book.3.What do Bobby Marks and young Lipsyte have in mon?A.They didn’t play sports.B.They didn’t like summer.C.They dealt with their weight problem.D.They reached adulthood in the 1950s.4dwards Award in 2001?A.Because he has achieved widespread fame.B.Because he has written good books for teens.C.Because he has talked about hot topics in his books.D.Because he has published a significant number of books.B(2016·广州毕业班测试一)Earlier this year,the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organizations—including The New York Times,The Guardian,and the BBC—to place news stories directly into users’ personal Facebook webpage.Stories published using Facebook Instant Articles will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher,who will keep all the advertising ine the stories earn at least for now.The deal shows how important social media has bee to news organizations,and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing and has been for a while.When Google News began in 2002,many saw it as the death of the newspaper.It had no human editor.Instead Google used and still uses a secret puter program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader’s personal interests.More recently,Associated Press and Yahoo!have been publishing puterwritten articles.Both use special software to automatically produce stories about pany financial results and sports reports—areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.Should we be worried about such developments?I think we should.One concern is that Facebook,Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline,a way of putting people in front of advertisements.It isn’t their primary function—so if it stops making them lots of money,they’re likely to stop doing it.There’s also a concern that puterwritten articles are not actually journalism at all,because what a human news team produces is actually quite plex.A wellwrittennews story puts information in context,offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a puterwritten story over a carefully shaped article—at least for daily news—I don’t think puters will be writing any indepth articles for a while yet.5.What is the main purpose of the article?A.To report on a new puter service offered by Facebook.B.To advise readers against reading puterwritten news.C.To express concerns about recent trends in online news.D.To describe the process of online news reporting.6.puterwritten news reports have so far focused on sports and finance because .A.these are the most popular topics for online readersB.there are fewer journalists specialising in these areasrmation on these topics is more easily availableD.writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas7.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Journalism.B.Advertising.C.Facebook.D.Business.8.In Paragraph 4,which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a wellwritten news article?A.The information presented is uptodate.B.The author’s opinion is clear.C.Different views on the topic are presented.D.The language used is vivid.CDiscovering the beauty of the science and math that shape our everyday lives，an experience in WonderLab will fuel your imagination and inspire you to see the world around you in new and

Unit 4 Making the news高考试题一(2016·新课标全国卷III阅读理解D篇)Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.＂The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,＂ says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. ＂They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more ho w they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.＂Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication —e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations —found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news s tories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the ＂most e-mailed＂ list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-scien ce articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad.

Making the news李仕才一、阅读理解Taylore is a kid who passes by to ride sometimes and help us with chores. Barely 15, she’s never short of advice, and one of her favorite pastimes is teasing me about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.Last summer four of us rode down the trail behind our woods: my wife Karen, Taylore, Taylore’s friend Kendall and me. I was riding my 13-year-old, Tawny.We were two miles from home when, for some unexplainable reason, I pushed Tawny into a gallop（飞驰）. The other horses were anxious to catch up, and just like that, the race was on.Taylore brushed past my left leg and, seconds later, Kendall went by on my right. I realized Tawny was covering ground faster than I’d ever seen her. She strained every muscle in her body to catch up with the girls. It was like a truck winding over a mountain road without brakes (闸). Part of me felt perfectly in control, while another part screamed that I wasn’t.In half a mile I knew we’d be crossing the highway, so I prayed that the girls would be fine. I gave up calculating how long it might take before my horse would be tried enough to want to slow down.I was just about out of answers when I saw the girls slowing in front of me. Their horses were relaxed and comfortable, not even breathing hard. Taylore’s face glowed. She gave me a high five. ＂Wow, you did well, ＂she said. ＂I knew you’d go fastwhen you were ready.＂No one in the group had even broken a sweat, except me. I was still nervous from the crazy pace. My heart pounded too, but not from exercise. Karen claims I was showing off for the girls that day, and maybe she’s right. But I think I had something to prove. Because despite my wrinkles (皱纹), glasses and gray hair, I was feeling young at heart. And, like a horse on a warm summer day, I’m always ready to kick up my heels.1. How did the race between the girls and the author begin?A. His horse’s gallop made the other horses want to catch up.B. He wanted to show off his riding skills for the girls.C. They wanted to know whose horse could run fastest.D. They teased him about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.2. During the race, ___________.A. the author’s horse outran the girl’s horses the whole timeB. the author was confident that Tawny was in controlC. the girls were so anxious to win that they sweated a lotD. the author’s good performance took Taylore by surprise3. When the race ended, the author’s heart pounded because ________.A. he was feeling thrilled and youngB. it was really tough exercise for himC. he was worried that the girls might be in dangerD. he felt quite embarrassed that he had lost the race4. The phrase ＂kick up my heels＂at the end can be replaced by _________.A. devote myselfB. enjoy myselfC. accept my challengeD. take part in running competition【文章大意】文章描述作者和两个女孩骑马比赛，这让作者感到兴奋，也感到虽然自己上了年纪，但是有一颗年轻的心。

Unit 4 Making the news李仕才一、阅读理解。

（2021·四川成都高中毕业班检测）Fans of the movie Finding Nemo may remember the terrifying fish that scares Dory and Marlin at the bottom of a trench.But in reality this “monster”，a black seadevil，is only about 9 cm long，which would make it about a third of the size of Dory and potentially smaller than Marlin or Nemo.While this inaccuracy may seem harmless，it could cause problems for future conservation efforts，as people are more likely to support conservation of adorable rather than scarylooking animals.The black seadevil is just one of the mysterious “monsters”. From 2000 to 2021，scientists described about 1，200 new species in the Census of Marine Life. While this figure may seem astonishing，a further 5，000 individual dead creatures are in specimen（标本）jars，waiting to be described.Specimens must be methodically collected，identified，and then the identity of new deepwater species must be confirmed.If we call unusual deepsea animals monsters，then we may harm their conservation as people are unlikely to be connected with them or care about saving them.On the other hand，their rarity clearly makes them popular on social media sites. For other species，this has already resulted in increases in illegal trading for unusua l pets. Deepsea species may potentially become illegally obtained specimens or food. Humans may end up eating these animals of the deep sea to extinction before their species are even known to science.Every habitat on earth is interconnected，and whatever we as humans do has an influence on marine ecosystems. In reality，about 80% of our oxygen is produced by microorganisms（微生物）in the oceans. This makes our oceans both the lungs and lifeblood of our planet and we must all try harder to save them.【解题导语】本文主要从电影里对深海物种的不准确熟悉，谈到了保护深海物种的重要性。

Making the news李仕才一、阅读理解。

It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don’t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech —＂I Have a Dream＂, you may notice that he stumbles (结巴)over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for awell-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly.Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.1.The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will .A.be smarter than youB. know what you are talking aboutC.do better than youD. notice your mistakes2.You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because .A. you find the way of speech-making more importantB. you don’t fully understand the speechC. you don’t know what the speaker plans to sayD. your attention is on the content3.From the last two paragraphs, the author means that .A. giving a speech is like giving a performanceB. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeC.one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad。
