AAn older friend once gave me a piece of advice，“Enjoy the last few weeks of college，” she said，“since college is the best time of your life.”This was not the first time I’d heard such a statement, but with graduation fast coming close, her words especially struck me.It seemed a bit disappointing to reach one’s life peak at only 22 years of age, but in her opinion, college had been one of the best times in my life so far.I made friends, took classes, and learned a great deal about myself.But I was also excited for the time after college—moving to a new city, starting a new job, and becoming a “real” person.I hoped that my great dreams were practical.Then, last week I read a column in RealSimpleMagazinecalled100 YearsofAttitude, in which women 100 years or older shared their life experiences and views.I noticed that none of them considered college as the “best” time of their life.Not all of them went to college, but still in most cases their teens and twenties were not the best times of their life.They said some of their favorite times were raising their children, traveling after retirement, and even enjoying their present time and age.Enjoying one’s present time and age was a clear theme of the interviews.A piece of advice given by the women was about the importance of making the best of all situations.I think it more accurate than that of my friend; I can say with certainty that if I am lucky enough to make it to 100.I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting (跌落) downhill, or even leveling off.I am sure that our eagerness and devotion will make us college students live ameaningful life.We will not just look backwards or miss our college days.We will look forward in excitement about continued journey uphill.1. Which of the following opinions does the writer agree with?A. College is the best time of one’s life.B. Twenties were the best time of the old people.C. One should make the best of all situations.D. One should not look backwards at their college time.2. In the second paragraph, the writer wants to say________.A. her achievements in college would be the peak of her successB. she is looking forward to living as a “real” person in collegeC. she becomes more and more uneasy with graduationD. she is satisfied with the college life but is hopeful for the future3. The column the writer read is mainly about those old women’s________.A. best time of life at youthB. life experiences and viewsC. different opinions about lifeD. favorite time with best friends4. By saying “I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting downhill，or even leveling off” (in Paragraph 4), the writer really means________.A. she will not spend the rest of her time at collegeB. she will not just obtain a college level certificateC. she will not be satisfied with what she has already accomplishedD. she will not be content with the life in the future5. Which of the following words can be used to describe the writer?A. Ambitious.B. Practical.C. Imaginative.D. Proud.BRae and Bruce Hostetler not only work very hard, they also relax just as well.Numerous vacations help the couple to maintain their health and emotionalwellbeing—and it’s no surprise to health care professionals.“Rest, relaxation, and stress reduction are very important for people’s wellbeing and health.This can be accomplished through daily activities, such as exercise and meditation, but vacation is an important part of this as well,” said primary care physician Natasha Withers from One Medical Group in New York.Withers lists a decreased risk of heart disease and improved reaction time as some of the benefits from taking some time off.“We also know that the mind is very powerful and can help with healing, so a rested, relaxed mind is able to help the body heal better,” said Withers.Psychologists confirm the value of vacations for the mind.“The impact that taking a vacation has on one’s mental health is great,” said Francine Lederer, a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles who specializes in stress and relationship management.“Most people have better life perspective and are more motivated to achieve their goals after a vacation, even if it is a 24hour timeout.” The trips could be good for their health, good for their family and good for their businesses.The online travel agency Expedia conducted a survey about vacation time in 2010, and according to their data the average American earned 18 vacation days—but only used 14 of them.France topped the list, with the average worker earning 37 vacation days and using all but two of them.Americans’ responses may not be surprising in a culture where long hours on the job often are valued, but that’s not always good for the individual, the family or the employer.Psychologists have also found that people who don’t take enough time to relax may find it harder to relax in the future.“Without time and opportunity to do this, the nerve connections that produce feelings of calm and peacefulness become weaker, making it actually more difficult to shift into lessstressed states,” Mulhern said.6. How did the author introduce the topic of the text?A. By making comparisons.B. By giving an example.C. By raising questions.D. By providing data.7. According to Natasha Withers, vacations can________.A. weaken reaction systemB. cure serious diseasesC. reduce the level of wellbeingD. decrease the risk of heart disease8. Expedia’s survey shows that Americans________.A. dislike family gatheringsB. have the shortest vacationC. enjoy as many vacations as the FrenchD. think much of spending long hours on the job9. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. One should never wait to relax.B. Work and rest go against each other.C. Time and opportunity wait for no man.D. A relaxed mind determines everything.10. What is mainly talked about in the text?A. Ways to relax in one’s free time.B. The benefits of taking time off.C. Different opinions on holidays.D. The Hostetlers always on the go.CAs climate change has warmed the earth, oceans have responded more slowly than land environments.But scientific research is finding that marine ecosystems can be far more sensitive to even the smallest temperature change.Perhaps the ocean organism most vulnerable to temperature change is coral.There is evidence that reefs will bleach (变白) at even a slight continuing temperature rise.Bleaching slows coral growth, makes them susceptible to disease, and can lead to largescale reef dieoff.Ot her organisms affected by temperature change include krill, an extremely important link at the base of the food chain.This can affect the life cycle of krill eaters, such as penguins and seals—which in turn causes food shortages for higher predators.When water heats up, it expands.Thus, the most readily apparent consequence ofhigher sea temperatures is a rapid rise in sea level.Sea level rise cause floods of coastal habitats for humans as well as plants and animals, shoreline erosion, and more powerful st orm that can destroy lowlying areas.Warmer sea temperatures are also associated with the spread of species and diseases.If an ecosystem becomes warmer, it can create an opportunity where outside species or bacteria can suddenly develop where they were once excluded.This can lead to forced migrations and even species extinction.Warmer seas also lead to melting from below of polar ice shelves.Scientists also worry that warmer water could interrupt the socalled ocean conveyor belt, the system of global cur rents that is largely responsible for regulating Earth’s temperature.Its collapse could trigger catastrophically(灾难性地) rapid climate changes.The only way to lower ocean temperatures is to dramatically control our emission of greenhouse gases.However, even if we immediately dropped carbon dioxide emissions to zero, the gases we’ve already released would take decades or longer to disappear.11. This passage is mainly about ________.A. sea speciesB. a rise in sea temperatureC. changes in the seaD. humans’ effect on the sea12. What will happen to penguins and seals if krill is killed in large numbers?A. They will die out at once.B. They will leave the sea.C. They will be lacking in food.D. They will turn to other fish for food.13. Sea level rise may cause great damage to ________.A. coralsB. krillC. ice shelvesD. shorelineDCHINA’s moon rover, Yutu, also known as Jade Rabbit, has awoken after its troubled dormancy(休眠), the condition of being temporarily inactive, but experts were stilltrying to find out the cause of its abnormality. Thursday, a spokesman for the country’s lunar probe program said.“Yutu has come back to life,” spokesman Pei Zhaoyu announced.Pei said the moon rover, named after the pet of a lunar goddess in ancient Chinese mythology, had been restored to its normal signal reception function while experts worked to verify(查对) the cause of its mechanical control abnormality.Problems emerged before Yutu entered its second dormancy on the moon on Jan.25, as the lunar night fell.“Yutu we nt to sleep under an abnormal status,” Pei said, adding that experts had been concerned that the moon rover, Yutu, might not be able to survive the extremely low temperatures during the lunar night.“The rover stands a chance of being saved now that it is still alive,” he said.Yutu rolled onto the moon’s surface on Dec.15,2013, several hours after China’s lunar probe, Chang’e3, had softlanded on the moon on Dec.14,2013.Chang’e3 is part of the second phase of China’s lunar program, which includes orbiting, landing and returning to the earth.China is the third country in the world to successfully softland on the moon, after the United States and the former Soviet Union.14. From the second paragraph, we know that the moon rover ________.A. is named after the lunar goddess in ancient Chinese storyB. has the same name with the pet of a lunar goddessC. cannot receive signals from the earth after its dormancyD. didn’t come back to life until it was repaired by experts15. According to the third paragraph, as the night fell on the moon, Yutu ________.A. started workingB. started rollingC. fell in dormancyD. was dead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。

领兑市安插阳光实验学校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·高中毕业班高考适性测试)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, atoy dinosaur and a remote control car, Landon hoppedoff Santa's lap to rejoin his family. But a few momentslater, he raced back to Santa's side: he'd forgotten to tell him something important. Specifically, Landon shared his worry with Santa that his 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 love 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 m y son the same message I've been trying to get through to him for a while now — that he's special and I lovehim 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.H e was the real Santa Claus.”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校2 Working the land李仕才***阅读理解。

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, “No changing 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】本文主要讨论了旅游中如何享受美景以及游客普遍存在的问题。

高考英语一轮复习 Unit 2 Working the land练习

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校 Unit 2 Working the land 新题型—短文语法填空(由2013·二模改编)When a customer finds that a purchased item is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the producer's claim for it, the first step is to give the warranty，or any other records which might help, to the store of purchase. This action will often produce re sults. However, if not, there are various means to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” the consume r takes their complaint, the faster they can expect a settlement. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, assuming they have a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the store, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate the problem with the item. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work.”The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer. If so, the consumer should state the complaint as politely and firmly as possible.If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. They can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to an organization responsible for protecting consumers' rights.参考答案：1．satisfied 2.helpful/useful 3.seriously4.faster/sooner5.phone/telephone6.effectively7.demonstrating/showing/explaining 8.Take 9.threatening10.charge一、单句语法填空1．(2015·安徽，阅读B)Their ________ (expand)business became a large corporation in 1996.2．People from all the corners came to the city center，________ (make)itvery crowded.3．(2015·陕西，完形)________ (satisfy)that I'd done a good job，I would happily return the comb to Dad.4．With all his attention ________ (focus)on his experiment，he has no time to spend with his family.5．(2015·湖南，阅读表达)College is when we should focus ________ a specific major，but high school is when we have to figure it out. 6．(2015·浙江，六选五)You and the professor will be able to examine specific points that are ________ (confuse)to you.7．Dina，____________(struggle)for months to find a job as a waitress，finally took a position at a local advertising agency. 8．(2015·江苏，阅读A)Always get rid ________ your rubbish properly and recycle waste(e.g.，glass，paper)where possible.9．(2015·安徽，完形)Changing our spending habits may be the best way ________ (reduce)the amount of rubbish.10．Modern science has given clear evidence ________ smoking can lead to many diseases.答案1.expanding2.making3.Satisfied4.focused 5．on6.confusing7.having struggled8.of9.to reduce 10.that二、完形填空。
