Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Indus river in India. 2When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilisation. This civilisation later on developed into the cultures of ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. 3 Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn’t distinguish from the European culture a lot.4 Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race difference count as well. but what’s more, due tothe far distance and the steep areas between the East and the West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference from the other.The differences are everywhere. 5 But different cultures make the world of the 21st century more colourful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障碍) to the civilisation of human beings. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.A. Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.B. One important thing is to learn about other cultures.C. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.D. At the same time. some other differences add to the cultural differences.E. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the wholeF. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.G. They are obvious and affect people’s ways of thinking and their views of the world.答案：刷阅读理解【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了几处著名的城堡、宫殿和市民区。

2.①One often hears that children should arrive at school “ready to learn”. For most children, the acquisition of reading and math skills starts in the first grade.

There is no real consensus, however, about how this preparation should be achieved.③For some, _____________________ (早期童年教育) relates to the development of the whole child.

Time spent alone encourages independence. Learning letters and counting is important only for children who show an interest in them. Advocates of this approach stress that each child is unique and should learn at his or her own pace.④Other people refer to research showing that children are ready to absorb basic academic concepts by age 3 or 4. They claim that early introduction to letters and numbers _______________________________________ (为之后优异的学术表现奠定基础).

Studies have not been conclusive. ___________________ (短期来看), evidence suggests that middle-class children who attend preschool are ______________________ (领先他们的同龄人) in maths and language skills, as well as in social skills, when they enter school. However, the same studies show that the gap narrows considerably by the time children reach age 8.⑥Children living in poverty are a different matter. Those enrolled in programs such as Head Start seem to do better than _____________________ (贫困儿童) who do not attend a preschool. For instance, youngsters in one group enrolled in the program, tracked until the age of 21, earned higher scores on intelligence tests, were more likely to graduate from high school, and demonstrated more interest in ____________________ (高等教育).⑦The idea of public preschool ________________ (引起了很多话题). Providing Head Start for all children would be a financial burden on communities that already struggle to fund current school programs. Also, where would a sufficient number of teachers trained in early childhood development be found?【文章结构梳理】1. What’s the genre of the passage?A. Narration.B. Argumentation.C. Exposition.D. Description.2. 判断下列观点分别来自那个段落If kids are exposed to letters and numbers earlier, they will perform better in their later learning.(Para 3)●Preschool is, of course, important to our kids, but we haven’t reached an agreement what to do.(Para 2)●If we want to offer preschool activities to all children, that must be a large sum of money.

He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years.

It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!I The night before my marathon, I dreamed that I couldn’t even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces（鞋带）became untied.

Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 am or questioned expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal.

Have you ever been excited about losing a few pounds? 1 And to help you keep your weight under control, you need some coping strategies.Ask questions. When you’re researching different dieting products and plans or even talking to a doctor about diets, ask as many questions as you can. 2 Askquestions like: Do I have to purchase special meals or supplements? Does the programme include a part to help me maintain my weight loss?Get real. 3 Don’t burden yourself with unrealistic expectations.

Unit+1+阅读能力拓展训练+2021-2022学年牛津译林版必修第一册
江苏英语新教材必修一U1 阅读能力训练一、阅读理解(A)My journey home from school is nothing special. The train's always busy but I usually find a seat and start reading or texting my friends, making sure, like everyone else, not to look at other people.But last Tuesday was different. I was happily listening to some new music when the train suddenly stopped. This wasn't unusual and I didn't think anything of it. Then after about five minutes, I noticed people were starting to get a bit angry. Fifteen minutes later, people started getting angrier. The longer the train stood still, the angrier people became until finally the announcement came: “We are sorry to announce that this train is delay ed（延误）.That seemed to calm people down and so we all went back to what we were doing before, but soon there was another announcement: "It will be a long time before we get there. There was a large sigh throughout the carriage（车厢）but then something unexpected happened: complete strangers started talking to each other. I started chatting to a couple of young tourists. They were from Spain and they were traveling around the UK so I suggested some places they should visit. Next I really surprised myself by starting a conversation with a businesswoman. She was going to take three months to climb Qomolangma. It was great talking to her. Then I decided to get up and go for a walk down the train. I met a woman who had been a student at my school seven years before and knew lots of my teachers.While we were talking, we heard there was a patient in another part of the train who needed help and the woman from my school jumped into action. It turned out she was a nurse and when she came back, she was welcomed as a hero.Then, after two hours, we started moving again. Everyone clapped and cheered and some people, complete strangers three hours before, even hugged. I will never forget the day the train stopped and people started talking.1.How did the author do when the train suddenly stopped?A.He turned to the other passengers.B. He let out a long deep sigh.B.He paid no attention to it. D. He got angry at once.2.Why did the train stop?A.It broke down.B. It ran out of gas.B.The track was under repair. D. A previous train stopped working.3.What did the author talk about with the nurse?A.Their former teachers.B. Some famous tourist spots.B.Some stories of businesswomen. D. Their mountain-climbing experiences.4.Why did the author consider the journey unforgettable?A.He saved a person's life on the train.B. Talking to strangers made him happy.C. He met some classmates during the trip.D. It was the first time he had met with an accident.(B)Rumors (谣言): we've all heard some and we've all spread some. In more traditional times they shook entire families. Today, they travel differently because the way we share information has also changed.The fact is that rumors have great potential to upset things, whether socially or personally. We don't enjoy being on the receiving end of one, since they usually don't have good intentions. They are somewhat veiled (掩饰的) messages.Normally rumors are oral messages: word of mouth. The paradox (自相矛盾) is that there is no evidence to support rumors, but the more people share it, the more they see it as true. To finish explaining rumors, we think that they follow certain very clear laws. Secrecy: The source is unknown. There is also a proven phenomenon that human beings usually forget the source of a message before they forget its content. Certainty: We hardly question rumors simply because of the mental effort involved. On the other hand, no one likes to doubt a person who convinces us that the information they spread is true. Change: It acts like a tree. New rumors branch out to fill in the gaps left by the first rumor.Another property (属性) of rumors is that they tend to become viral. Each receiver is at the same time a potential transmitter (传输者) of the information. The receiver often adds their own opinion. Their manner and tone of transmitting it also changes it.How can we end rumors? The answer is as simple as it is impossible: preventing people from communicating. A more realistic response is equally difficult, although less than the first one. It is that we should be critical of the information we receive. We should ask ourselves if the source is reliable. Ask (if possible) the person you heard it from whether they also trust the information. We should also think about if the rumor benefits someone, and if that someone started the rumor.One rumor to be especially cautious of is a rumor about groups relatively unable to defend themselves. That's why we say, "History is always told by the winners." The first payment the defeated must make is to accept the victor's version of the story.1.What can we learn about rumors?A.We have all heard some and believed them.B.We're happy to be the receiving end of them.C.They may have negative influence on society.D.They often hide good intentions in the messages.2.How are rumours like a tree?A.Rumours keep changing, just as trees change their colour.B.Rumours are deeply rooted in reality, like tree roots in the earth.C.New rumours have gaps, like the space between tree branches.D.New rumours grow out of the original, like branches out of a trunk.3.What does the underlined word ‘viral’ in Para 4 probably mean?A.Something easily spread.B.Something acceptable.C.Something easily defended.D.Something beneficial.4. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. It is easy to prevent people from spreading rumors.B. People are often active in judging the rumors critically.C. We should think about the hidden message of the rumors.D. Stories told by the victors are usually better worth trusting.二、完形填空The leaves fluttered (飘动)over Josh's head.

Suddenly, a few raindrops fall on your arms and before you know it, the sky opens up. Then you hear what sounds like thunder in the distance. What should you do? Your tent is close by and would offer shelter（庇护）from the pouring rain. There’s a campsite picnic shelter a few minutes down the path. And then you remember that your car is parked down the road. What’s your safest choice to make sure you and your family are safe?It’s a common question for many hikers and campers, especially when they’re camping during summer months. Heading to your car is almost always the safest choice. On the one hand your tent and a picnic shelter will keep you dry, but they offer little or no protection against lightning. Your car, on the other hand, will keep you dry and protect you from lightning strikes. Protecting yourself against possible lightning strikes is very important; lightning kills an average of 62 people in the US each year. If you keep all of the windows and doors closed in your car, you’ll be able to return to your campsite safely.Of course, if you’re backpacking（背包旅行）, not car camping, and you’re deep in the woods, your car won’t be a good choice. So, what should you do if your car is far away and there’s no other sate shelter nearby? First, you’ll have to make sure that tree branches or other objects don’t fall on you or your campsite. Then you’ll have to get in a safe position to avoid lightning, or flash flood conditions. What else should you do?1. To avoid lightning in a storm, what are you supposed to do?A. Go into your tent quickly.B. Cook up the catch of the day over a campfire.C. Run into a campsite picnic shelter at once.D. Get into your car and return to your campsite later.2. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Young people like backpacking best.B. Lightning is dangerous for campers.C. Car camping is a good choice for deep woods.D. Camping during summer is the most popular.3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. It is important to learn to protect yourself when camping.B. Backpacking is not a good choice for campers.C. People should never camp deep in the woods.D. People should not go camping alone.4. What is the passage mainly about?A. What’s camping.B.

But that is not her full story. Ruiz's father passed away when she was three，leaving her mother to raise the five children. The family moved more than she'd like to remember-three times when she was in 5th grade alone. Though her mother was a working single parent trying to support her own family，she didn't hesitate to help others.Ruiz became an EMT（紧急医疗救护技术员）and worked nights in Philadelphia，eventually enrolling on Rowan College at Gloucester County（RCGC）.Ruiz got such good grades at RCGC that she was offered a partial scholarship to study journalism at the University of Miami，but realising she could not get enough to cover everything despite the scholarship，she didn't go to Miami. She applied to Rowan University and graduated with two degrees-Journalism and Radio，Television & Film.Last fall，Ruiz joined the staff of Rowan Radio 89.7 WGLS-FM where she quickly became news director and this spring began an internship with the Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, a nationally syndicated radio programme in New York City.

The story has been told over and over again—not just in books，but in movies and television shows. To celebrate，New York City's Morgan Library & Museum has a special exhibition of the writer and the book.The reason for the success is that Doctor Frankenstein and his creature，the monster，live on in numerous remakes，shows，and even comic books.Mary Shelley's classic is one of the most famous horror stories of all time. But Frankenstein is so much more than that. It presents ideas and themes that are still important today. Knowing something about her suffering can help readers have a good knowledge of her work. Shelley wrote the book when she was only 18 years old. Andit relates to her own sad life. Her mother died 10 days after she gave birth to her. She knew what it meant to be a child without a mother. It is no surprise that Shelley wrote a story about a motherless creature that is very much alone in the world.Losing her mother shortly after her birth in 1797 was only part of her life story. Mary Shelley gave birth to four children, but only one child survived to adulthood.Around the age of 17, she fell in love with the poet Percy Shelley. The two writers got married in 1816. However, the marriage of Percy and Mary Shelley was short-lived. Her husband died in a sailing accident in 1822. She was still in her twenties when she became a widow.After the publication of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley continued to write. She died from brain cancer on February 1, 1851.

The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them.One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy — his name was Bernard — had interested her very much.“I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don’t see what he can do.”After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money.” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.”“So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.”For some moments, John sa id nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish（完成）.”The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you wha t we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us？Well, we can make popcorn （爆米花）, and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Unit 2 阅读拓展练习- 高一英语牛津译林版(2020)必修第一册
译林版必修第一册Unit2 阅读拓展练习1Ⅰ.阅读理解AWhen I was a little girl，I remember that when my dad was repairing something，he would ask me to hold the hammer，so we would have time for a conversation with each other.I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out.All he did after work was taking care of his family.I grew up and left home for college and since then，my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning.And when I bought a house several years later，my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat.All he asked was to talk to him，but I was too busy in those days.Four years ago，my dad visited me.He spent many hours putting together a swing for my daughter.He asked me to have a talk with him，but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual.I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately.I was in a hurry，so our conversation was short.Several hours later that day I received a call.My father was in hospital.Immediately I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the occasions I missed to have a talk with my dad.By the time I arrived at the hospital，my father had passed away.Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me.I realized how little I knew about my dad，his deepest thoughts and his dreams.After his death I learned much more about him and even more about myself.All he ever wanted was my time.And now he has all my attention every single day.1．When the author was a little girl，she .A．liked playing on the swingB．often talked with her fatherC．was good at repairing thingsD．learned to take care of her family2．When at college，the author .A．received a call from her father every Sunday morningB．phoned her father every Sunday morningC．asked her father to call her every SundayD．asked her father to talk with her3．Why did the author fail to have a talk with her father four years ago?A．She had got tired of talking with him.B．She was busy painting her house.C．Her daughter asked her to play.D．She was busy planning a trip.4．When did the author begin to regret missing the talks with her father?A．After her father’s sudden death.B．Many years after her father’s death.C．On her way to the hospital to see her father.D．As soon as she got the news that her father was ill.答案BADCBRobby was 11 when his mother dropped him off for his first piano lesson.I prefer students who begin at an earlier age.Robby insisted that it had always been his mother’s dream to hear him play the piano，so I took him in as a student.Robby tried and tried while I listened and encouraged him and gave him more instructions.But he just did not have any inborn ability.I only saw his mother from a distance.She always waved and smiled but never came in.Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons.I thought about calling him but I guessed he had decided to try something else.I was also glad that he stopped coming for the sake of my career.However，several weeks before the recital(演奏会) of my students，Robby came，telling me that he never stopped practicing and begged me to allow him to take part.I agreed but I made him perform last in the program，so I could always save his poor performance through my “curtain closer”．I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen one piece of Mozart’s.Never had I heard a piece of Mozart’s played so well by someone at his age.When he finished，everyone was cheering.I ran up and put my arms around Robby in joy.“I’ve never heard you play like that，Robby！How’d you do it？”“Well，Miss Hondorf.Do you remember I told you my mom was sick? Actually she died this morning.She was born deaf so tonight was the first time she could hear me play.I wanted to make it special.I knew I could.” That night，Robby was the teacher and I was the student.He taught me so many important things about life.5．Why did Robby stop coming to the piano lessons suddenly?A．He lost heart and believed that he would never make it.B．His mother was too sick to send him to the piano lessons.C．He thought his teacher disliked him.D．His mother died and he didn’t need to play any longer.6．Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A．The writer thought playing the piano shouldn’t start too late.B．The writer thought that Robby had given up the piano lesson.C．The writer taught Robby carefully although he hadn’t a gift for music.D．No one else could play the piece of Mozart’s well.7．From the underlined sentence we can infer that .A．the writer looked down upon Robby and disliked himB．the writer thought Robby a bad advertisement for his teachingC．with Robby present，the other children couldn’t play wellD．the writer couldn’t teach so many students at a time8．What did the writer learn from Robby?A．The meaning of true love.B．The meaning of giving up necessarily.C．The meaning of being kind to teachers.D．The meaning of believing in teachers.答案BDBACA teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure.To some teenagers independence means a lot to them，and I think that some parents don’t allow their teenagers enough independence.Independence has something to do with freedom.Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone，and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school，coming home，going to sleep，and repeating the process the next day.Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world.But if parents control their kids too much，they may never learn to live on their own.The best way for a teenager to learn lessons is through experience.I think it is beneficial for teenagers to have freedom.Teenagers’ lack of freedom can also stop them from having good friendship at school.Some might say that this is a good thing，because it helps them focus more on their school work.I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their school work.Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school，thinking that this will get them into trouble.But I don’t think so.Instead，isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a cellphone？Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents，and communicate better with their friends.Privacy is another issue between parents and their teenagers.Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room.This also gives them a sense of independence.It oftenannoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not at home.I know that my mom always goes in my room when I’m not at home，and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door.9．What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A．Kids know how to live independently.B．Some parents allow their kids no freedom.C．It benefits teenagers to have freedom.D．Kids have a dull routine every day.10．How do teenagers usually feel when their parents enter their rooms in their absence? A．Disappointed. B．Lucky.C．Angry. D．Calm.11．The author hopes to have her door locked in order to .A．keep her father from reading her diaryB．prevent her mother entering her roomC．protect herself from any harmD．stop thieves from going in答案CCB七选五When your children become teenagers，it’s time to start considering an afterschool job.1 ，so why shouldn’t our children? When your child has a job，he/s her job correctly.An afterschool job is a good way to teach your teenager about responsibility.By allowing your teenagers to have an afterschool job you allow them to learn about money management. 2 ，they will have to manage how much money they can spend.They will realize that they can’t spend every dollar they make if they want to reach their goal.You are probably saying，“Teens will get into trouble whether they have a job or not.”3 .Depending on the distance from work to home，you could allow your children some extra time to get home after work.This will ensure that they don’t feel rushed but can still get home on time.It’s a good idea to show your teenagers that hard work is what it takes to finish everything in their lives. 4 .What will they expect when they are out on their own if they have never had to work hard for what they want?5 .All teenagers，no matter what their parents’financial situation is，should have a job.They will need the experience before they do get out in the real world.A．If they are saving up for their first carB．When they refuse to have an afterschool jobC．It is a good idea for all teenagers to have an afterschool jobD．Most of adults in the U．S.had a job during their teenage yearsE．They can’t learn the meaning of hard work if everything is handed to themF．Having an afterschool job will help your teenagers know their directionG．But it is less likely that your children will get into trouble if they are working five evenings a week1．D2．A3．G4．E5．C。

Instead, I got myself tangled（纠结的）in a web of obligations, anxiety, and white lies.The worst thing was that I didn’t even realise what I was doing. I thought I knew how to say “no”—but couldn’t remember the last time I had done this. Like a lot of people，I just wanted to be accepted appreciated, loved-and the only way to get those things was to put everyone else’s needs before my own.I never seemed to have time for things I really wanted to do. I’d like to learn Spanish，write more fiction, and travel. These aren’t huge, unrealistic goals. And yet, my people-pleasing ways dramatically cut into my free time to pursue these desires.But recently, I decided I'd had enough. As an experiment, I began standing up for myself，even at the risk of alienating（使疏远）myself from everyone and having my entire life come crashing down around me. Several days ago, a good friend asked me to go for coffee at 5 pm. I was planning to hit the gym and then binge—watch Mad Men for the millionth time. I said I’ve got the said, That’s fine. Maybe another time. It was all so painfully simple that I wanted to cry.Saying “no” is so much easier. If someone asks me to do something I have zero interest in, I'm polite but honest. “I’m sorry. I don’t think that’s really for me.” The words slip out faster than some other lame excuses.Learning how to say “no” has added several extra hours to my days, days to my weeks, and what feels like months to my years. I no longer have to back-burner my plans to help friends with their job search, or set aside a weekend to read a book draft by someone I barely know. Saying “no” has set me free.1. Why was the author afraid of saying “no”?A. She didn’t want to tell lies.B. She wanted to make more friends.C. She wanted to please everyone.D. She was always willing to help others.2. What was the bad point of being afraid of saying “no” for the author?A. Alienating many friends.B. Keeping busy all day long.C. Feeling depressed now and then.D. Having no time for her own hobbies.3. What was her friend's reaction when the author said “no” to her?A. Natural.B. Painful.C. Angry.D. Disappointed.4. How did the author feel after she had learnt to say “no”?A. Lonely.B. Relaxed.C. Confident.D. Lost.B体裁：议论文题材：人际关系词数：363 难度：中建议用时：8分钟[河南郑州2020高一期末]My husband came across the programme from his father’s high school graduation 90 years ago. It was the Class of 1928 and their class motto was “Build for character, not for fame.”I’m pretty sure society has done quite the opposite. These days, we have people who are famous for simply being famous. They haven’t done anything particularly impressive, but they do take great selfies. We are all crazy about fame these days, mainly due to social media. All we want is to make people follow us friend us，like us or share our posts. We are nearly mad about fame.“Build for character not for fame.” is based or the belief that one is looking up andahead. That’s an encouraging idea, especially today, when most of us have our heads down, looking at the screens of our smartphones. Looking ahead and building for character take thought and intentionality. One can be intentional in building for fame as well，but fame often relies heavily on the right timing and connections as well as the creation of the base of fans and supporters. Character isn’t decided by the ideas of others. Character is built with self-discipline and the willingness to learn from difficulties. Character grows inside and needs no praise.Fame depends on people looking at you, while character is who you are when no one is looking at you. Fame often comes with jealousy—a feeling that time is running out or that someone better than you is coming to steal your fans. Character is marked by feeling fulfilled and being generous. There is satisfaction that comes with the rewards of achievements but at the same time, good character willingly holds the door open for others who are also hoping to achieve.This graduation season, speakers will tell new graduates to get out of here and build a better world. The best way is to build character, which runs deep and can carry you through life’s storms. Build character with courage, justice and strength. Build character by respecting yourself and others. Build character with kindness, hope and love and you will build a better world.1. What does the author think of people nowadays?A. They' re mad about achievements.B. They want to be famous very much.C. They’re trying to build character.D. They like do.2. What does “building for character” require people to do?A. Connect with others at the right time.B. Mind their behaviour when being looked at.C. Behave themselves and learn from hardship readily.D. Look ahead and accept other people’s advice willingly.3. What does the underlined word “fulfilled” in anagram oh 4 probably mean?A. Content.B Confident.C. Famous.D. Comfortable.4. Why does the author value “building for character”?A. It inspires people.B. It enables us to build a better world.C. It allows graduates to get a good job.D.

According to Robert Emmons, a researcher, gratitude is emotion that can result in long-lasting positivity（积极性）. 1Gratitude is good for our health.Through his research, Emmons found that grateful people reported feeling healthier and happier, both mentally and physically. 2 In the workplace，employees who are shown that they are appreciated are healthier and more productive by 50 percent.3Gratitude is a selfless act. We often take the simple things in life for granted. Those who recognise in life, no matter how simple, are more likely to be sensitive to the needs of others and to help whenever they can. Being considerate of others’ opinions, experiences and backgrounds will make us better people.Gratitude makes us more self-aware.Working in an ever-developing and fast-paced society, we are surrounded by ambitious people who are always struggling for more and better things. 4 It starts by paying attention to what’s now going on in our life, and it’s true that self-awarenessis the key to being successful.Gratitude helps us build strong relationships.Gratitude is a powerful tool for strengthening relationships, both at work and in our personal life. People who express their gratitude tend to be more willing to forgive others and therefore able to create long-lasting connections.5 Taking the time to thank people for their work and kindness—whether it was today, last month many years ago—makes us happier and more self-aware.A. Gratitude builds understanding.B. Here are a few benefits of being grateful.C. Gratitude helps us build up self-confidence.D. All in all, we feel and express our gratitude in different ways.E. Specially, those who were grateful were 25 percent happier than those who weren’t.F. Gratitude makes us reflect (反思) on the present instead of always thinking about the future.G.

高一英语词汇拓展与运用英语阅读理解25题1<背景文章>Reading English novels has been a great way for me to expand my vocabulary. As a high school student, I was always looking for ways to improve my English. One day, I decided to pick up an English novel and start reading. At first, it was a bit challenging as there were many words I didn't know. But as I kept reading, I began to understand more and more.I would come across new words and look them up in the dictionary. This helped me understand the meaning and usage of the words. I also started noting down the new words in a notebook so that I could review them later.As I read more novels, I noticed that my vocabulary was growing rapidly. I could understand complex sentences and express myself better. Reading also helped me improve my grammar and pronunciation.One of the novels I read was "Pride and Prejudice". It was a beautiful story and I learned a lot of new words from it. For example, the word "obstinate" which means stubborn. I also learned words like "amiable" which means friendly and pleasant.1. The author decided to read English novels to ________.A. have funB. improve EnglishC. pass the timeD. make friends答案：B。
高一英语词汇拓展英语阅读理解25题
高一英语词汇拓展英语阅读理解25题1<背景文章>In today's digital age, technology has had a profound impact on our lives. From smartphones that keep us connected at all times to advanced medical devices that save lives, technology is everywhere.One of the most significant ways technology has changed our lives is in the field of communication. With the advent of social media and messaging apps, we can now stay in touch with friends and family around the world in an instant. We can share photos, videos, and thoughts with just a few taps on our screens.Technology has also transformed the way we work. Many jobs now require the use of computers and software, and remote work has become more common than ever before. This has allowed people to work from anywhere in the world, increasing flexibility and productivity.Another area where technology has made a big difference is in education. Online learning platforms have made it possible for students to access high-quality education regardless of their location. They can take courses, watch lectures, and interact with teachers and classmates from the comfort of their own homes.However, technology is not without its drawbacks. One of the mainconcerns is the impact it has on our mental health. Spending too much time on social media and digital devices can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, there are concerns about privacy and security as our personal information is increasingly being collected and shared by tech companies.In conclusion, technology has had a significant impact on our lives, bringing many benefits but also presenting some challenges. As we continue to embrace new technologies, it is important to be aware of their potential risks and take steps to mitigate them.1. The main idea of the passage is that technology ______.A. has only positive effects on our livesB. has both positive and negative effects on our livesC. has only negative effects on our livesD. has no effect on our lives答案：B。

Welcome Unit 拓展阅读专项训练（一）刷阅读理解体裁：说明文题材：学校生活词数：281 难度：中建议用时：7分钟You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Even if you know some freshmen（新生）, you still feel nervous that you don't know any upperclassmen or teachers. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces？Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts, which is helpful not only because you can know your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen. That way when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognise a few familiar faces. When you talk to your new classmates, you'll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They're all new to the school and don't know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with them can help you develop friendships.The work in high school is something that freshmen are probably worried about. The work in high school builds on what you learnt in middle school giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it's a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.High school also has more extracurricular activities than middle school does such as clubs, music and theatre groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.High school gives you the chance to learn how to manage your time, to develop your social skills and interests, and more importantly to be more independent and responsible.1. What does the underlined word "orientation" mean in Paragraph 2?A. training.B. Game.C. Discussion.D. Examination.2. What are freshmen probably worried about?A. The learning task.B. The ability to make friends.C. The relationship with teachers.D. The freshman orientation3. Extracurricular activities mainly help students ________A. build up healthy bodiesB. develop friendshipsC. develop their interestsD. improve their learning ability4.

高中英语课外阅读材料拓展
高中英语课外阅读材料拓展高中时期特别是高三阶段的时候，我们复习的时间很紧迫，基本上很难抽出时间看一些英语课外阅读，既然如此，我们何不趁着有时间的时候多读一下呢?这里与大家分享高中英语课外阅读，有时间我们不妨学习一下，看看自己能够做到何种程度。
高中英语课外阅读(一)Captain who has it allCESC Fabregas appears to have it all. He is the star performer for top English premiership (英超) club Arsenal and a multimillionaire at the age of 21. If all of that wasn't enough, on November 24, Fabregas was appointed new captain of the club."It's a proud moment and a great honor," said the Spaniard (西班牙人). "But this is also a big responsibility. Together with my teammates, we have the spirit and commitment (承诺) to get back to winning and fulfill our potential."However, there are people who doubt that Fabregas is too young to shoulder the responsibility. But Arsene __, the Arsenal manager, said: "It's not especially linked with age. Most of the time, responsibilities make you grow, make you become more mature (成熟的) and you deal with the situation."Fabregas is one of rising talents among the young generation of players. He helped Spain to win the European Championship this year and has established himself as a key player for Arsenal.But he does not want to settle for just being a good footballer.He began a correspondence (函授) course in the equivalent (相当于) of A-levels (exams taken by students who want to go to university), fitting his studies around his football duties. "Thereare seven subjects, including math, science, Spanish, English and French. First I have to pass an exam. Then I have to do a course for one year and then I can go to university," he said.Fabregas has not returned to the classroom in the traditional sense. Teachers come to his home to teach him math and science — "they are the most difficult" — for four hours a week. He does some of his tutorials (辅导课) via webcam (摄像头). Much of his time will be spent studying at home or on the road.So, what is the motivation for this highly-paid young man with the football world at his feet? "I think it is good for the future," he said.高中英语课外阅读(二)Brazil's wonder kidIN football, nothing is more valuable than the wonder kid. Managers spend plenty of their time searching for these rare gems (宝石).Anderson Luis de Abreu Oliveira is one such gem from Brazil. He won the Tuttosport Golden Boy Trophy (奖杯) on December 7. The award is given to the best player in Europe under the age of 21.Anderson plays for Manchester United and he has already won the Premier League (英超) and the Champions League (冠军联赛) with his team. In fact, Anderson even scored a penalty (点球) in the Champions League final.”[He is] 20, with the decision-making, position-taking intelligence of a 30-year-old. Short at 1.76m, yet muscular (强健的) and rapid enough to win most physical battles,” writes Duncan Castles, reporter with Britain''s The Guardian newspaper.And Anderson is glowing (焕发) with self-confidence. ”Scared? I''ve never been scared of anything,” hesaid. ”When the subject is playing football, I''m not scared of anyone. You are there for the football; you are there to have fun, to play.”But in the eyes of Brazilian journalists, Anderson still needs time to mature (成熟). They described him as ”arrogant (傲慢的)”. ”He rolled up to the team''s London hotel in an expensive Audi R9, R&B blaring (鸣响) from the sound system and strode (大踏步) past reporters,” they said.Anderson is honest in his attitude toward money. ”Yes, I like money a lot. Who doesn''t?”.Anderson''s father died in 2001 and by the age of 14, his youth-team salary (薪水) in a local club in Brazil supported his mother, sister and two brothers. ”I became used to being a man very young. I was 15, but already thinking as if I was 22, 23 or 24 and making very tough decisions about my future. I had to help the family, but that was also a responsibility. And that I still do today and hope to be able to do for my family until I am 60.”高中英语课外阅读(三)Spears defines a generationTHE newest generation of American teenagers has been raised on a diet of YouTube, Facebook and American Idol. These inventions are harmless but when combined they have created a culture where teenagers want to be rich and famous and believe everyone should know everything about their lives.The spokesperson for this fame-hungry, talent-less generation is Britney Spears.At a young age, Spears seemed to have it all. She was starring on the Mickey Mouse Club TV show when she was 11. At 18, Spears released her debut album Baby One More Time. The album instantly made Spears a pop icon (偶像). She had millionsof dollars and was on top of the world. But as the saying goes, “the higher you are, the harder you fall.”With fame came an obsession (着魔) into Spears'' personal life. Photographers followed her everywhere she went. Eventually, she couldn''t take it anymore and she made a series of bad decisions. First, she married a high school friend. But the marriage only lasted a matter of hours. Then she married her back-up dancer, Kevin Federline, who was a known playboy. Then she shaved her head and suffered a big breakdown. She did all of this with the world watching.But then her father, Jamie, stepped in and took control. Spears took sometime away from the spotlight to get things in order. Now she is promoting her new album, Circus, which is a good word to describe her life. The CD is currently No 1 in America.It has been a crazy ride for Spears but when judging her, remember that she was once a sweet, young girl whom a lot of people thought they could make money off. Even with all she''s been through, she''s only 27 years old.So for any young person out there, who is posting videos on YouTube and dreaming about becoming famous, remember to be careful what you wish for. You might just get it.。

2021届高三英语复习拓展阅读（一）You are not for everyone, and that’s okay语篇导读：“我”努力让每个人都喜欢“我”，但一个朋友的离开让“我”认识到了问题所在。
I grew up a people pleaser. Before I made any decision, I used to carefully weigh up how it would affect others and their thoughts of me. As a kid, it worked out pretty well. As an adult ... not so much. The constant need to have everyone like me wasn't answered, again and again.It started out through middle and high school when I was figuring out my interests. In my heart, I felt one way. In person, I obviously tended to do whatever I thought was “cool.” Before long it got to the point where every decision in my life involved me heavily weighing what other people would think. I had many different versions of me ready to please everyone and anyone.The journey to my own self-discovery came in something unexpected in the last few months — when a friend pulled away from me. Knowing that there was someone who did not like me really upset me.It wasn't until I was talking to another friend, and she pointed out that there were most likely a great number of people who didn't like me, that I realized something. I'd spent so much time trying to get everyone to like me that I never figured out what's actually best for me. Surprisingly, I figured out that it's a good thing to drive people away! That may sound strange, but let me explain:The world is full of people who, no matter what you do, will not like you. But it is also filled with people who will love you fiercely. You are not for everyone, and that's okay. As you drive people away, you only get closer to your people. Those who love you, who want to be close to you, who truly value you, are one step closer.You are not for everyone, and that's not just okay, that's amazing.Many Brits sign up to learn High Valyrian语篇导读电视剧《权利的游戏》中的人工语言风靡英伦，学习者的数量甚至超过了懂苏格兰盖尔语的人数。

That’s why one German radio host, who also happens to be a dog owner came up with the idea for a programme designed to relax dogs and make them feel like they aren’t alone.When 30-year-old Stephan Stock, a radio host at RadioTon, in Germany’s Baden-Wurttemberg region, announced the creation of a programme aimed at dogs, everyone thought it was just a clever April Fools trick. However, it wasn’t. For the past three and a half months, Hallo Hasso has been pumping out music for lonely dogs both on the radio and online.Stock says he was inspired to create the special by his pet dog, Layla, who would sometimes get so bored when left alone that she would keep herself busy by making a big mess around the house. He and his colleagues at RadioTon started researching what kind of music usually appeals to dogs, and learnt that it should have as little drum and electric guitar as possible, and should be very slow.“It’s not about keeping dogs quiet,” Stock said about Hallo Hasso. “It’s more about the dog feeling he’s not alone.” He adds that Layla isn’t as restless since listening to Hallo Hasso, and has become relatively quiet, even letting her take a nap（打盹儿）to the music from the radio.Hallo Hasso is only available in Baden-Wurttemberg, via radio, but if you’d like to see if it can calm your four-legged pet, the programme can also be accessed online here.

Unit 5 Languages Around the World 拓展阅读专项训练（一）刷阅读理解体裁：议论文题材：语言文化词数：437 难度：中建议用时9分钟“Long time no see.” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s e-mail, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal（字面意思的）translation of the Chinese greeting with ruined English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her. Her words could not convince me at all. So I did research on Google. com. To my surprise there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see.” This sentence has been widely used in e-mails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or other possible places. Though it is sort of informal, it is par he language that Americans use daily. Ironically, if type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chans movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting（引用）Confucius. “Long time no see.” was his trademark…Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see.” became a popular phrase in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.Some scholars compare America to a huge melting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together, and they change the colour and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic group（少数民族）in the United States, is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.You can have some other examples beside adoption from Chinese, such as pizza from Italian, sushi from Japanese, and deja vu from French etc. There is a longAmericans do not just simply borrow something others. They will also modify it and make it their own, so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant, or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store. Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way, the Americans melting pot keeps adding richness and flavour.1. What did the writer himself feel surprised at?A. The Chinglish expression “Long time no see.”B. So many literal translations of the expressions used in America.C. “Long time no see.” is used as a standard American English greeting.D. Finding out Americans use the expression every day.2. What do the underlined words “melting pot” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. American changing cultures.B. Culture mixture.C. A kind of cooked dish.D. Confucius’s words.3. According to the passage, what can be inferred?A. Detectives translated the phrase “Long time no see.”B. Cultures cannot be changed in the huge melting pot.C. The huge melting pot greatly affects all kinds of languages.D. Hollywood made “Long time no see.” popular.4. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Some Chinese expressions are introduced into English.B. You’ll not be surprised at a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant in America.C. Some American expressions can be used in China.D. American English keeps being enriched by different cultures.刷7选5体裁：说明文题材：语言文化词数：280 难度：中建议用时：8分钟[重庆巴蜀中学2019高一期末]Today we take a look at the word “smart”. If someone says you are smart, what do they mean? Is it a good thing or something bad?1 This is because the word “smart” has many meanings.For example, someone could say you look smart or are dressed smartly. That means they like your physical appearance or what you are wearing.But if something smarts, it can be unkind or hurtful either physical mentally. If you accidentally trip over a chair and fall down, you might shout, “Ow! That smarts!” Or if a friend says something that hurts your feelings, you can say you are smarting from the hurtful comments. 2If you are standing too close to a campfire, you could say your eyes are smarting from the smoke of the fire. Here the word “smarting” means feeling a sharp pain.3 If someone is smart as a whip, they are able to think very quickly.4 Some people are considered street-smart. They may not have a strong education. But they are good at dealing with people and problems in the real world. Other people might be book-smart. This means they have spent many years in school. But they may not be so smart when dealing with people or real-world problems.And then there is a definition of smart that means to talk or behave disrespectfully. If you say something disrespectful to your parents, they might say, “Don’t get smart with me!” Here, “smart” means showing a lack of respect by saying something unkind. This definition of smart can also be used as a verb. 5A. Do they really mean you are smart?B. The answer is not as easy as you might think.C. People have different attitudes towards being smart.D. In fact, maybe that person is no longer your friend.E. But the most common meaning of “smart” is to be intelligent.F. However, different people have different ways of being smart.G. If you smart off to the wrong people, they could hit you in the face.答案：刷阅读理解【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。

By changing word orders and adding auxiliary verbs (助动词), we are able to communicate variations in meaning. We can turn a statement into a question, state whether an action has taken place or is soon to take place, and perform other word tricks to convey delicate differences in meaning.Besides, grammar is universal and plays a part in every language, no matter how widespread it is.So the question which has confused many linguists is: who created grammar?At first, this question would appear impossible to answer.To find out how grammar is created, someone needs to be present at the time of a language’s creation, documenting its emergence.

However, non-native speakers now greatly outnumber native speakers. A recent report suggested that the number of non-native speakers had already reached 2 billion, while there are around 350 million native speakers of English. The British Council predicts within five years about half the world's population over-3.5 billion-will speak English.(1) In a word, jobs. English has become the dominant language of international business, academic conferences, science and technology and, of course, tourism. Also, about 75% of the world's correspondence is written in English and 80% of all electronic information is stored in English. According to Dr Jurgen Beneke of the University of Hildesheim in Germany, by far the majority of interactions in English now take place between non-native speakers.(2) In South Korea, for example, the national government has been building English immersion schools all over the country, where teenagers live in an all-English environment for up to four weeks at a time. In these ‘English villages', students check in to their accommodation, go shopping, order food, go to the bank, take cooking classes or acting lessons-all in English.So what happens to a language when it becomes a world language? (3) _________ However, what is already obvious is that these new speakers of English aren't just using the language-they're changing it. Jean Paul Nerriere, a former French IBM executive, believes thatthe future of English belongs to a non-native speaker. For the international business community, he always recommends a version of the language which he calls “Globish”-a combination of ‘global’ and ‘English’.(4) That is, it's a simpler version of the language. So, for example, speakers of Globish don't use idioms and they definitely don't try to tell jokes. It has a limited vocabulary of about 1,500 words and the speakers use accurate but uncomplicated sentence structure. In fact, Nerriere suggests that native speakers will need to use Globish or they may well feel left out of the conversation!【分析】本文讲的是英语在当今世界的普及及其原因，以及未来的发展方向。
