Her mother studied to become a nurse and quickly increased the family’s income. She later attended UC Berkeley. Komal was interested in becoming a naval doctor and was part of ROTC in college. She always wanted to serve her country. She didn’t realize then that "serving" her country would later become food-related.It was 2011, when Komal Ahmad, a senior in college at the time, walked past a young man on the street who was begging for food. She invited him to sit down for a meal. At the same time, a few feet away, the dining hall was throwing away pounds of delicious food. Witnessing this, Komal knew she was meant to do something about the situation. Komal started a student group that recovered food from campus and distributed it to local non-profit organizations.As rewarding as this was, something bothered her. One day, she got a call from the dining hall manager, who had 500 sandwiches left over from an event. Komal needed to pick them up before they spoiled(变质). She rented a car, loaded it with the food, and called non-profit organizations. She found takers for only 25 sandwiches. Knowingit shouldn’t be that hard to help people, she extended he r rental reservations in order to push the sandwiches. Then the light bulb moment she was waiting for: what if there was an app that could pair people who had food with people who needed it? And thus, Copia was born.Companies use the app to report when they have leftover food. When charity agencies first register with Copia, they indicate how many people they need to feed, and on what days. The app distributes the leftover food, delivered by trained food handlers.4.How had Komal planned to serve her country?A. By being a naval nurse.B. By helping the navy medically.C.

People’s unwillingness to take leftover food.D. The difficulty of finding food sources.7.What is stressed in the last paragraph?A. The creation of Copia.B. The influence of Copia.C. The way Copia functions.D. The development of Copia.CAverage humans can consume 15 or more drinks in plastic bottles a month. If you were born after 1978, and live until 80 years old, you will leave behind a minimum of 14,400 plastic bottles on this planet. These bottles take hundreds of years to break down into tiny pieces of plastic, never to completely disappear. Most of thewaste is consumed by fish and birds, which has shortened their lifespans(寿命) greatly.The Plastic Bottle Village is just a great idea that might finally save us from being buried in plastic. It’s a community in Panama that is going to be made of used bottles. The design process begins with building steel frames, which are then filled with these bottles. Once this step is complete, and electrical and plumbing lines are put inside, the plastic walls are covered by concrete —both inside and outside. So no one will actually be able to tell that the walls are made of plastic. Besides, the material will keep the house 17℃ cooler than the outside, which is the biggest benefit to people living inside.The village is the brainchild(主意) of Robert Bezeau with the intention of setting up several environmental projects. Having started a recycling program four years ago, during which a number of plastic bottles were collected, he started to think of how they could be put to use. Soon enough, he decided to use them to build houses, and came up with a basic idea for the construction process.The project hopes to make people conscious of the waste that these bottles create so that they can do more to protect the environment. The village will also create an education center that will teach individuals from the world how to reuse plastic bottles as construction materials for shelter. Recycled bottles could neutralize the negative effect of your passage on this planet, and move closer to leaving only your "footprints".8.What do the figures in the first paragraph show?A. The reason for buying fewer drinks.B. The seriousness of plastic pollution.C. The amount of plastic waste.D. The difficult situation of wildlife.9.Why are the homes in the village special?A. They’re green buildings.B. They’re 17℃ warmer ins ide.C. They stop plastic pollution.D. They’re entirely made of plastic bottles.10.Which word can best describe Robert?A. Responsible.B. Considerate.C. Creative.D. Sensitive.11.What does the project want to do through these homes?A. Provide shelter for locals.B. Reuse all deserted plastic bottles.C. Popularize the use of plastic bottles.D. Raise people’s environmental awareness.DIt’s difficult to think of a better-known work of art than Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel comes close, but that’s a detail of a huge work, not a work of art on its own. Images by many 20th-century artists like Spain’s Pablo Picasso and the US’ Andy Warhol are also instantly recognizable. However, no other painting is nearly as famous as the portrait in oils of a fashionable young lady of Florence, Italy.This painting isn’t just famous because the image is now able to be reproduced over and over again. Its fame has at least something to do with the fact that it’s a fine piece of work. Da Vinci was a leader in the revolution in painting in the Renaissance period. The Renaissance was more centered around humans than previous European culture was, and the Mona Lisa is a fine example of Renaissance humanism. The work is about a person. The woman da Vinci painted does not represent a religious idea, but is an individual whom one feels that one could talk to and know.And the question of who the woman is has always interested the public. The earliest answer, from 1517, is that she was just a "certain Florentine lady", but in 1550, famous historian and painter Giorgio Vasari said she was Mona Lisa, the wife of silk merchant Francesco del Giocondo. Over the centuries, a number of other women have been put forth as the model, including a suggestion that da Vinci used himself, looking in a mirror, as well as the idea that she was painted from da Vinci’s imagination. The work invites the viewer/reader to discover for himself or herself, perhaps invent,what it means.Leonardo kept it himself, and took it with him to Milan, Rome, and France, and used it as a "calling card", said Larry Feinberg from the Art Institute of Chicago — sort of an advertisement: "Hey, look what I painted! I can paint for you, too!"12.Why does the author refer to three other artists?A. To show the Mona Lisa is very famous.B. To compare da Vinci with other painters.C. To introduce different great painters.D. To prove no other painter is equal to da Vinci.13.What is stressed by mentioning the Renaissance?A. Painting skills of the Mona Lisa.B. Different attitudes to the Mona Lisa.C. The economic value of the Mona Lisa.D. The tradition-breaking idea of the Mona Lisa.14.What helped the Mona Lisa’s popularity according to Para graph 3?A. Its being painted from imagination.B. Its being open to interpretation.C. Da Vinci’s using himself as the model.D. Many women’s claiming to be the model.15.What does Feinberg say about da Vinci?A. He was eager to paint for people.B. He fell in love with the Mona Lisa.C. He used the Mona Lisa to earn a reputation.D. He made a fortune through the Mona Lisa.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 The United KingdomⅠ.阅读理解A(2018广西南宁第二中学月考) Belgium is divided into three communities.Each one has its own language and traditions.But the people of Belgium are united in their love for Belgian potato fries.The fries are prepared and sold the same way in all areas of the country.The Reuters news service reports that potatoes reached Belgium in the 16th century.But it was not until the 19th century that restaurants and others began selling fried potatoes throughout the country as a separate meal.Recently,a Belgian group launched a campaign aimed at getting the United Nations (UN) to recognize the popular treat.The group wants the UN’s Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO) to place the food on its cultural heritage(遗产) list.The UNESCO list recognizes more than 300 objects,beliefs and practices.They include Turkish coffee and the traditional Chinese theater known as Peking opera.The list also includes a dance,the Argentinian tango,and the singing of the Aka pygmies of the Central African Republic.UNESCO says the list is “made up of intangible heritage elements(非物质文化遗产元素) that help show the diversity of heritage and raise awareness about its importance”.Belgian potato fries are traditionally sold in a paper wrapper,or cone,in a “fritkot”.There are about 5,000 frikots in Belgium.That means they are 10 times more common as a percentage of the population as McDonald’s restaurants in the United States.The national organization of fritkot owners says the small,often unfurnished buildings are much like Belgium itself.It says these buildings combine the country’s acceptance of disorder with a dislike of structures that all look the same.The group says 95 percent of Belgians visit a fried potato hut at least oncea year.1.Belgian potato fries .A.were recognized by the UNESCOB.are well received in BelgiumC.are sold in all food storesD.didn’t become a separate meal until the 16th century2.What’s the aim of the Belgian group?A.To place Belgian potato fries on the cultural heritage list.B.To prevent other countries producing Belgian potato fries.C.To show the diversity of Belgian foods.D.To prove the popularity of Belgian foods.3.Which of the following is NOT listed in the UNESCO list?A.Peking opera.B.The Argentinian tango.C.Turkish coffee.D.American restaurants.4.What does the underlined word “fritkot” in the last paragraph probably refer to?A.A simple house which is used to live in.B.A kind of small,unfurnished building.C.A place where machines are used to make goods.D.A piece of paper,plastic,or thin metal that covers something.语篇解读:本文讲述了比利时的一个团体希望联合国教科文组织能将比利时炸薯条列入世界文化遗产名录。

2018届人教版必修五一轮复习:Unit2The United Kingdom单元综合测试英语试题第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分;满分30分)A“Joe? Is that you?” The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar. “Marci?” I asked. “It IS you !” she cried out, smiling broadly. “Gosh, it’s good to see you again !”It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past few decades, I’ve wondered about her. I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci. So meeting her at the baseball game was really out of expectation.We spent a few minutes talking about our lives—the good old, bad old days. Then Marci grew quiet for a moment. “You know, Joe,” she said, “ I’ve always wanted to tell you…how…how sorry I am for the way I treated you. You must have been hurt both physically and mentally.” I was a little embarrassed. I turned and looked at her. “It’s OK,” I said, “No big deal!” “But I was such a jerk,” she continued. Yes you were, I thought. “We were both pretty young,” I smiled. “I know.” she said, “It’s just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you. And I’ve wanted to tell you that I’m sorry.”The expression on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes—it looked a lot like relief. “OK,” I said. “Apology accepted!” Overcome by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it.It isn’t enough to just say “I’m sorry” and “You’re forgiven.” But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to miracles of the heart. Forgiveness can bring peace to an injured soul—even years after the fact. Even at a baseball game.21. What kind of life did Marci live during the late 20th century according to the passage?A. Happy.B. Busy.C. Hard.D. Simple.22. What does the underlined word “jerk” in the third paragraph mean?A. A humorous person.B. A cruel person.C. A careless person.D. An honest person.23. Why did Marci look in relief after talking with the author?A. Because her favorite team won the game.B. Because she learned Joe was living a good life.C. Because she made an apology to the author.D.

A newspaper.CNew research brings some good news for lovers of spicy (辛辣的) foods, after finding that eating hot red chili peppers might help to extend lifespan (寿命).Consuming hot red chili peppers might reduce death risk, say Chopan and Littenberg from the research team. In hot peppers, such as Mexico peppers, the strong flavor comes from a compound (复合物), which does not exist in sweet peppers or onions. Studies have suggested that this compound can offer a wealth of health benefits.A study of more than 16,000 people in the United States revealed that individuals who consumed red chili peppers had a lower risk of death from all causes over an average of 18 years than those who did not eat the spicy food. Compared with participants who did not consume hot red chili peppers, those who did were found to be at 13 percent reduced risk of all-cause death.For example, a recent study reported by Medical News Today, found that the compound might have the potential to stop breast cancer, while an earlier study linked the compound to a reduced risk of digest system cancers. Still, the available data suggested that hot red chili pepper consumption was most strongly associated with a reduced risk of death from heart disease.While the researchers are unable to identify the concrete compound by which red chili peppers might extend lifespan, the team says that it is likely due to the compound that is effectively against obesity (肥胖症).Overall, the team says that these latest findings support those of the 2015 study, linking spicy food intake to reduced risk of death by showing “a significant decrease in death associated with hot red chili pepper consumption.” However, Chopan and Littenberg note that the earlier study was only conducted in Chinese adults, so the new research makes these findings more credible.29. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The study only goes for American people.B. Red chili pepper can cure all-cause disease.C. The compound protects people against obesity.D. Onion consuming can reduce death risk.30. What is the finding of the new research mainly about?A. Hot red chili pepper lovers develop no cancers.B. Hot red chili peppers help control breast illness.C. Hot red chili peppers decrease heart disease.D. Hot red chili pepper intake may increase lifespan.31. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “credible”?A. Convincing.B. Practical.C. Encouraging.D. Attractive.DWhen you’re working your way through one of life’s storms, it is human nature to focus on getting back to normal, to “bounce back” as quickly as possible to a place where things are calm, familiar and comfortable.However, actually it is unrealistic to think we can ever truly return emotionally and intelligently to where we were before the storm because every experience changes us in some way. For example, when we experience a major health scare, possibly involving some hospital time, we can never go back to being the person we were before the event even if we fully recover because we have experienced firsthand the fragility (脆弱) of life, not to mention coming face to face with death.So, now that we can never return, what should we do?Consider this: how is it that two people can be faced with the same hardship and while one becomes hopeless and feels anger and upset, the other is able to overcome their circumstances and grow stronger than ever as a result of the experience?At one extreme, we may choose to accept the role of unlucky victim, or become trapped in the “Why is it always me!” negative and frustrating (令人沮丧的) situations. Either way is the result of a fixed mindset (思维模式) that is resistant to growth and change. If this is your approach to life, you will be far less likely to be active in effectively managing change and recovering from bad situations.But there is another choice. If you are honest enough, you may consider what was once “normal” for you was just the main cause of your storm. You can choose to hug change and uncertainty and learn to grow forward through all of your experiences. Of course, this means doing the work to develop the skills and habits that will enable you to handle life’s occasional storms.In conclusion, it is up to each of us to choose the meaning we apply to our situations at all times. Different choices will lead to different lives. Of course you can grow forward if you are determined to choose to live a positive life regardless of whatever hardships you are facing.32. What does the author try to convey with the example in the second paragraph?A. We will understand life much better after an escape from death.B. It usually takes a long time to recover from a health problem.C. It’s unlikely to retur n to where we were after certain events.D. We can recover from an emotional problem much more easily.33. When faced with hardships, some people choose to be a victim because of __________.A. their terrible experiences.B. their negative thoughts.C. their poor health.D. their bad luck.34. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To advise us to manage bad emotions.B. To persuade us to get back to normal.C. To offer us useful skills to work with.D. To encourage us to overcome hardships.35. If you’re determined to grow forward you have to ________.A. experience life’s fragilityB. welcome uncertainty and changeC. develop new skills and habitsD. overcome the fear of death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 The United KingdomⅠ.阅读理解AWhen I revealed that I was planning to travel around Britain by publictransport,everyone I saw said,“Gosh,you’re brave!”but it never occurred to me to go any other way.Driving in Britain is such a dull experience these days.There arefar too many cars on the road,nearly double what there were when I first camehere,and in those days people didn’t actually drive their cars.They just parked them in the driveway and cleaned them once every week,or so.About twice a year they would “get the car out” for a pleasant drive to visit relatives or take a trip.Now everyone drives everywhere for everything,which I don’t understand because there isn’t a single feature of driving in Britain that has even the tiniest measure of enjoyment in it.Just consider the average multi-storey(多层的) car park.You drive around for ages,and eventually find a space that is exactly two inches wider than the average car.Then,because you are parked next to a pillar(柱子),you have to climb over the seats and end up squeezing out of the passenger door,in the process transferring all the dirt from the side of your car to the back of your smart new jacket.Then you go hunting for some distant pay-and-display machine,which doesn’t give change.And that’s just one t iny part of the driving experience.There are all the other annoyances of motoring,like traffic lights on busy roundabout s(环状交叉路) that never let you advance more than 20 feet at a time,and motorway service areas where foo d is much more expensive.Motorized vehicles are ugly and dirty.They occupy every pavement,turn ancient market squares into disorderly and untidy groups of metal,and cause petrol stations and other discouraging places to appear in great numbers.They are horrible and awful and I wanted nothing to do with them on this trip.1.Why did the author decide to travel by public transport?A.Because he didn’t have a car.B.Because he hated driving in Britain.C.Because he wasn’t familiar with roads in Britain.D.Because he was inspired by how people used to travel.2.What did the author mainly complain about in Paragraph 2?A.The inconvenience of parking cars.B.The unreasonable parkin g fees.C.The uncleanness of car parks.D.The improper use of cars.3.How is the last paragraph developed?A.By providing examples.B.By making comparisons.C.By following the order of time.D.By following the order of space.4.What would the author probably talk about in the paragraph that follows?A.The terrible places caused by vehicles.B.The bother caused by driving cars.C.His travels by public transpor t.D.His past driving experience.〚导学号92550060〛BSummer CampsMake your summer magical with a one-of-a-kind summer camp experience!Half-day,week-long camps are held from 9 am-12 pm or 1 pm-4 pm.Daily

It is known as Colourblind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white.Not being able to see in colour is bad enough. But one islander, Herrol, who'sa fisherman, also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burntout image. “I find it difficult to go outside in the sun,” he says, “because when it's sunny I cannot see to do my work.”But if being truly colourblind is rare, why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap live in a totally black and white world?Well, we know that in 1780 the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami (海啸). As few as 20 people survived, one of whom was the king. It's believed he had a genetic fault that causes colourblindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations.There is one advantage. Herrol can see well, really well, in the dark. So when it gets dark, Herrol and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish. They hang up flaming torches and the fish are attracted to the flames. “This type of fishing is fun,” Herrol says, “especially if we catch plenty.
