Part 1My name is Liao Mei and I'm 20 years old. I'm an only child, and my friendships are very important to m e. Ever since I was a kid, m y parents always m ade sure that I had other children to play with, so I never felt lonely. I've also been very lucky because I've always had a best friend, someone who I've been really close to.My best friend since the age of 11 was a girl called Wang Chaosu. We m et at secondary school. We'd both just started there. I rem ember m eeting her for the first tim e. I was walking hom e from school and she was going the sam e way. So we walked home together and discovered that we lived very near each other. We got on with each other immediately. We're two of a kind, Wang Chaosu and I—we're both quite lively. We found that we shared a lot of the sam e interests. She loved all kinds of sport and so did I. We soon becam e best friends. We used to go around to each other's houses all the tim e. Our parents got on very well too.But having said this, I must say that Wang Chaosu and I quarrel from time to tim e. We had a really serious quarrel when I was 16. I becam e friendly with two girls that she didn't get on with, and I stopped seeing her for a while. It wasn't a nice thing to do and I regret doing that now. Wang Chaosu was really hurt. She didn't talk to m e for about six m onths. But then we m ade up and becam e friends again. Part 2Wang Chaosu and I stayed best friends up to the age of 18, but then we both went to different colleges. She stayed in our home town and I went to a college 200 kilometres away. We're still good friends, but we're not best friends anymore. It's difficult when you're so far away from someone. I think that to keep your friends, there are certain things you have to do. For exam ple, you m ust remember to keep in touch if you want to stay friends with someone. Wang Chaosu and I keep in touch through em ail when we're at college, and of course, we see each other when I com eback hom e. We always have a lot to say to each other. We talk about our feelings and are very honest with each other. I think that's very important.I regret to say that I have lost touch with four or five friends since I've been at college. It's a pity, but I've changed and they've changed too. We just don't click anym ore. I think the reason why Wang Chaosu and I are still friends, as I said earlier, is because we have similar personalities, and we're both still crazy about sport. It's my guess that we'll always be good friends. I hope so.。

Nero, the emperor of Rome between 37 and 68 AD liked to eat ice as a special treat between violin lessons. He ordered runners to run to the mountains, get snow and quickly ran back to the palace. The snow was mixed with fruit juices and nuts. Around 1660, coffee shops serving ice cream were very popular in Paris. Italians owned most of the coffee shops. A man from Sicily, named Francesco, openedthe first successful one. Before ice cream was sold in stores, it was made and frozen at home. It took a lot of work to make the cream, eggs, fruit, ice and salt and then to freeze it. Nancy Johnson, an American woman who was good at machines invented the hand-turned ice-cream freezer in 1846. Five years later, Jacob Flusell opened the first ice cream business in Maryland, US. His business quickly spread to other states. Today, in the US, ice cream is not only a nice food, but a way of life.第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)21．B细节理解题。

Alice, whatare your strongest memories of it?Alice: Well, I was only seven years old at the time, and the first bombs fella long way from my house. But I remember that the house shook,and I looked through my bedroom window. I remember seeing firesin the distance. I've never forgotten that. London was on fire allaround me. There were so many fires that the clouds in the skyturned pink. Unforgettable.Interviewer: Yes, indeed.Alice: I also remember that my parents were very annoyed with me.Interviewer: Why?Alice: Because I was looking through my bedroom window. You weren'tsupposed to do that. You had to keep your windows covered all thetime at night.Interviewer: Henry. What are your first memories of the Blitz?Henry: Well, I'm older than Alice, and I was 12 when the bombing started.The first thing I remember was the sound of the planes. They flewvery low. My brother and I went out into the street to watch. Wenever told my parents about that. If I'd told them about that, theywould have killed me!Interviewer: How did you feel when you went into the street? Were you afraid?Henry: Well, yes, I suppose I was. But I also remember feeling very excited. Interviewer: And did any of the bombs drop near you?Alice: Not on the first night, no. And I often wonder why. I suppose becausewe weren't near any factories and we weren't near the docks. A lot ofbombs fell on the docks.Interviewer: And later?Alice: Later, yes. A bomb fell on our street.Interviewer: Did you see it?Alice: No. We were in the air-raid shelter. Otherwise I wouldn't havesurvived. Actually, we were in the underground station. That's right,the underground station. If I remember rightly, we weren't supposedto do that.Interviewer: Really?Alice: Yes. The government thought that it wouldn't be safe, so they putchains on the doors. A lot of people thought it would be the safestplace, so they broke the chains. After that, a lot of people went there. Interviewer: And they were right. It WAS much safer in the underground.Alice: Yes, you felt much safer in the underground. There were shelters above the ground as well. And it was much noisier there. Interviewer: Henry, what's your strongest memory?Henry: One night, my father and me came out of the house later thaneveryone else. We had to run about half a mile to the underground station. And it was one of the worst nights. The sky was full of planes, and you could hear the sounds of falling bombs. That was terrible. I'll never forget hearing that sound.Interviewer: What else do you remember, Alice?Alice: The firemen.Interviewer: The firemen?Alice: Yes, they were wonderful. As soon as there was a fire, a fire engine arrived. I can remember them shouting to each other. Very brave men.Interviewer: How often did the bombers come?Henry: Every night.Interviewer: Really?Henry: Yes, and not just once a night. I remember counting the timebetween the raids one night —there was a raid every two minutes for about an hour.Interviewer: Thank you both for sharing your memories with us.Alice: You're welcome.Henry: WE should thank YOU. We appreciated the opportunity to talk.。

最新教学资料·外研版英语单元质量检测(六)(时间：100分钟满分：120分)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
AGrandfather and 3ye arold boys are natural buddies. On this particular day in May, the grandfather was pleased to have the company of his best little pal when planting the vegetable garden. For a while, the boy seemed to like it too. His small fingers were just the right siz e to pick up tiny seeds and drop them into Granddadmade holes. They were a great team.But before long the boy became restless and directed his anger at the seeds themselves.“What's this one, Granddad？”“Beets (甜菜)．”“Ugh, I hate beets.”“Well, then, let's do the pumpkin instead.”“Yuck. I really hate pumpkin.”“Okay, buddy. What would you like to plant？”“How about ... doughnuts (油炸圈饼)？”Just in time, the grandfather stopped himself from saying there was no such thing as a doughnut seed. Looking at the unhappy little face, he suddenly got an inspiration.“Wait a second. I have to go inside and get the right seeds.”Granddad returned with a handful of seeds. He and the small boy solemnly planted them in a special corner of the vegetable garden.Weeks later, when the real seeds began to break through the soil, the boy became delighted with the tiny seedlings (秧苗)．He spent many afternoons helping Granddad water and hoe (用锄头锄) and watch them grow.And when the first baby vegetables were harvested,he liked them after all.For weeks, he forgot all about the doughnuts.But then one day at lunch, he said，“Granddad, what happened to our doughnuts？How come they didn't grow？”Granddad paused a moment.“Well, you know, doughnuts are tricky.Some years when you plant them, you get lots of doughnuts.”He sighed sadly.“But other years, all that comes up are the holes.”1．From the first half of the conversation we can learn that the boy________．A．possibly doesn't like vegetablesB．hates planting anythingC．doesn't like playing with his GranddadD．hates planting vegetables because of his small hands2．The boy became interested in the vegetables later because________．A．he liked them from the very beginningB．those vegetables were the kinds he likedC．his Granddad advised him to do soD．they were the fruits of his own labour3．What do Granddad's words imply in the last paragraph?A．Doughnuts sometimes grow into fruits but other times not.B．Doughnuts like to do tricks.C．You can get only holes if you plant doughnuts.D．All jobs do not produce good results.BOn June 2, 2015, President Barack Obama awarded Henry Johnson, a World War Ⅰ soldier, the Medal of Honor. It was the result of a long campaign for a soldier whose heroism had gone unrecognized because of racial discrimination.Johnson was one of the soldiers serving as guards in France in 1918 when they were surrounded by more than a dozen Germans. The Germans opened fire on them, wounding Johnson over 20 times, but he fought on even after his weapon wouldn't fire anymore.Though praised by his fellow soldiers and awarded the French Croix de Guerre (法国英勇十字勋章), he was denied the Medal of Honor in his own country.The_efforts_to_get_the_soldier_recognized_have_been_filled_with_starts_and_stop s. The work was supported by the office of Charles Schumer, who handed in a 1，258page recommendation for the award in May 2011 after a great many new documents were discovered.“A lot of people advocated for this over a long period of time，” said a member of Schumer's, Caroline Wekselbaum, who had spent thousands of hours on Johnson's case.Their effort to get Johnson the Medal of Honor was blocked in 2003 by Air Force General Richard Myers, who wanted more evidence.But Schumer's office kept looking for more documentation. One of their findings was a telegram during the war, which mentioned the heroism of Johnson.Caroline expressed disappointment at the way Johnson was treated. As a black soldier, he and his colleagues were sent to the shorthanded French military, but not allowed to fight in the U．S. force.Johnson's life after World War Ⅰ was filled with highs and lows. His injuries were never properly documented, so he did not receive any medical benefits. He died poor in July 1929, 11 years after his heroism.4．Obama awarded Henry Johnson in order to________．A．show the equality between all racesB．correct a mistake he had madeC．set a good example for soldiersD．approve Henry Johnson's heroism5．What can we know from Paragraphs 2 and 3?A．Johnson fought bravely without weapons.B．Johnson was too seriously wounded to fight on.C．Johnson's fellow soldiers thought highly of him.D．Johnson was awarded the Medal of Honor by France.6．How can we understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?A．People had great difficulty in getting the government to recognize Johnson.B．The work of making the government recognize Johnson went very well.C．A great many people started the case of Johnson and then stopped.D．People made great efforts to get Johnson recognized but failed.7．What on earth resulted in Johnson's being mistreated?A．Lack of evidence of his actions.B．Racial discrimination.C．His fighting for French military.D．No documentation of his injuries.CCities around the world have started to use composting (堆肥) as a way to recycle organic waste and reduce the amount of landfills (填埋) and pollution. Cities spend hundreds of millions of dollars transporting waste to landfills, which also burns fuel and contributes to global warming. Compost is made out of organic waste, such as rotten leaves, leftover fruits, vegetables, egg shells and other foods. It recycles organic materials into fertilizer (肥料) for plants and vegetables.South Korea uses a system for the effective collection of garbage waste and the reuse of natural resources. Garbage must be separated according to “common garbage，”“food waste recyclables” and “large waste objects”， or the resident will be fined. In Canada, millions have access to roadside organic waste collection. Residents are expected to sort their kitchen waste and place it in the appropriate bins for collection. New York City started a composting pilot program in 2013, with workshops for individuals an NYC schools, such as worm composting — using worms to help turn the organic material into compost for fertilizer by eating the waste and passing it through their bodies.Some people are not excited about composting. For example, in June 2013, some New York residents complained about the smell of the composting site in the park. It can also be difficult to remember to separate organic waste from regular waste.But in Portland, Oregon, which has had a composting program for two years now, residents report that they have got used to the downsides. “It's encouraging us to make less waste, and it doesn't smell bad anymore, because our food leftovers are going out more often，” Portland resident Kendra Yao told Oregon Public Radio.8．Which is NOT the advantage of composting according to Paragraph 1?A．Reducing pollution.B．Recycling organic waste.C．Contributing to global warming.D．Saving money used to transport waste to landfills.9．From Paragraph 2 we learn that________．A．a South Korean will be fined if he doesn't sort garbageB．only kitchen waste is expected to be sorted in CanadaC．worm composting is the best way of compost in NYCD．composting systems are operated all over the world10．What does the underlined word “it”refer to in Paragraph 2?A．Compost. B．Fertilizer.C．The waste. D．The pilot program.11．What does Paragraph 3 tell us?A．The future of composting.B．The problems of composting.C．People's opinions about composting.D．The bad effects of composting on people's lives.DA peace treaty is a formal agreement between two or more countries that have formerly been at war. The treaty is a contract designed to cease wars immediately or other requirements to ensure peace. Many of the most famous wars of history ended with a peace treaty. In modern times, complicated conflicts often call for a more detailed resolution than a simple treaty.Wars are conducted by governments or other opposing bodies for a variety of reasons. When one force has superior combat strength, the war often ends with bloody conquest.When forces are evenly matched, or nearly so, fighting can last for months or years, with tremendous losses on both sides.In these cases，diplomacy often triumphs where strong force fails to resolve the conflict.A peace treaty is a common way for opposing forces to end wars and begin the process of rebuilding.In modern history, Paris has long been the site for the signing of peace treaties, as it is often a neutral (中立的) location.The American Revolution ended with the 1783Paris Peace Treaty, while Napoleon acknowledged defeat with the Treaty of Paris in 1815.During the Indian wars of the 18th and 19th centuries，the American government got a bad prestige for disregarding treaties it had previously signed with Native American tribes, and more battles resulted.The Treaty of Versailles，which officially ended World War Ⅰ in 1919, imposed serious punishments on Germany, the defeated party.These punishments damaged the German economy and caused bitter anger among the German people.Many historians believe these conditions led to the rise of the Nazi party and the Second World War.In modern times, war rarely ends with a comprehensive peace treaty.The Vietnam War, the Korean Conflict, and France's Algerian War ended with agreements that slowed combat gradually over a period of years rather than bringing an immediate peace.Modern war is a messy business that is difficult to control through such civilized measures as a signed contract.Nevertheless, diplomats work diligently to ensure that conflicts are resolved, one way or the other by eventual peace.12．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Wars will last for long when the combat strength of both sides is similar.B．World War Ⅰ in 1919 ended up with the sign of the Treaty of Versailles.C．German Nazi party rose because it was defea ted during World War Ⅰ in 1919.D．True peace requires the diplomats' diligent work and people's awareness.13．What does the writer mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A．A peace treaty is often ignored by the defeated side.B．Some countries don't want to sign peace treaties.C．A peace treaty does not always mean the end of wars.D．The defeated side often suffers great from punishments.14．It can be inferred from the passage that________．A．peace treaties are less effective in modern timesB．the stronger side suffers more during a warC．peace treaties are often signed by neutral countriesD．there are more conflicts or wars in modern times15．The underlined word in Paragraph 4 can be r eplaced by “________”．A．power B．experienceC．reputation D．influenceⅡ.任务型阅读(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。

【外研版】2017-2018学年高中英语选修6全册同步习题(含答案)
Module 1 课下能力提升(一)阅读理解AInformal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about your family and be sure to show pictures of your children. You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be interesting — and they can cover pretty much or any topic — as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent manner.In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious business relationship they're trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.As a general rule, it's best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. In addition, discussing one's salary is ususlly considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticise a national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host's team.1．The underlined word “harmonious” most probably m eans “________”．A．competitive B．friendly and peacefulC．original D．sensitive2．The writer thinks politics and religion are ________ for business.A．cheerful topics B．taboosC．rude topics D．wise topics3．Which is typically a friendly topic in most places according to the author?A．Sports. B．Children.C．Personal feelings. D．Families.BSmall talk is a very short conversation used by individual to kill time and make the other person feel comfortable in his presence. However, sometimes you should be careful of your topics.There are certain “safe” topics that people usually discuss.The weather is probably the number one thing that people who do not know each other well discuss. Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or start a conversation.Another topic that is generally safe is current events. As long as you are not discussing a controversial_issue,_such as a recent law concerning equal rights, it is usually safe to discuss that. Entertainment and sports news is another good topic. If there is something that you and the other person have in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. For example, if the bus is extremely full and there are no seats available, you might talk about the reasons why. Similarly, people in an office might casually discuss the new paint or furniture.There are also some subjects that are not considered acceptable when making small talk.Discussing personal information such as salaries or a recent divorce is unacceptable between people who do not know each other well. Compliments on clothing or hair are acceptable; however, you should never say something (good or bad) about a person's body.Negative comments about another person not involved in the conversation are also not acceptable. When you do not know a person well you cannot be sure who their friends are. You do not talk about private issues either, because you do not know if you can trust the other person with your secrets or personal information. Lastly, it is not wise to continue talking about an issue that the other person does not seem comfortable withor interested in.4．What does the passage mainly tell us?A．Why do people make small talk?B．What topics do people choose when making small talk?C．What is small talk?D．In which situations do people make small talk?5．Which of the following is NOT the best topic when you make small talk?A．Beautiful day, isn't it?B．Did you watch the news today?C．Have you got a boyfriend?D．What do you think of the new computers?6．The underlined part “controversial issue” in the fourth paragraph most probably me ans “________”．A．debatable questionB．acceptable questionC．private questionD．interesting question7．How is the text organized?A．①②③④/⑤⑥⑦ B．①②③④/⑤/⑥⑦C．①/②/③④/⑤⑥⑦ D．①/②③④/⑤⑥⑦CAre you sick of feeling your tongue turn to a lump of (一块) coal whenever you meet a small talk situation? Follow these smart tips, and you'll become a great conversationalist making lasting impressions wherever you go.Debra Fine, author of The Fine Art of Small Talk, says that connecting with people through conversation doesn't always come instinctively(出于本能地). That means you need much training to improve your speaking abilities. First, have around three things to talk about before you head for an interview. Second, think of four questions you can ask that will make the other person chat. Finally, if you've met the person before, mention something of the previous conversation or introduction to show your interest.The awkward moment when the other person didn't recognize you may make you feel hurt. Before you put too much pressure on a new relationship, be the first to say “hello”. You can release (释放) some pressure by saying, for example，“Stephanie Pratt? Hi, good to see you again.” Another way to put strangers at ease is to smile and shake their hands when you greet them.Small talk is always challenging at conferences or large events, especially when you don't know anyone. There's a reason why millions of people read the New York Times every day: to stay knowledgeable about the world they live in. If you find reading a daily newspaper too tedious,_find special topics that interest you. Learn the general news from News, CNN, or Google News. Build a conversation by asking, “Have you heard about ...？”Last, listening is an important part of small talk, especially when you're entering a conversation that's already in progress. If you want to leave a lasting impression, one of the best ways is to be a great listener. As you listen to others' experiences and opinions, you'll enlarge your knowledge about other cultures and nations, and finally become a more fascinating conversationalist.8．According to Debra Fine, ________．A．many people don't like small talkB．people with a good memory are good at talkingC．showing interest is the key to a good conversationD．conversation is a skill that needs training9．The purpose of small talk is to ________．A．reduce the pressure during a conversationB．build a connection and make a good impressionC．make a conversation more interestingD．enlarge the knowledge about other cultures10．The underlined word “tedious” in Para. 4 means “________”．A．short B．limitedC．boring D．formal11．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Purpose of small talkB．Topics of small talkC．Smart tips on small talkD．Art of listening in small talk课下能力提升(一)语篇解读：本文主要介绍了在商业交往中一些国家和地区倾向的闲聊的话题。

They will help us to realize which goals we should set for ourselves and inspire us in our everyday study.I hope many colourful paintings will be hung on the walls soon.And our school will take on a new look then.Yours sincerely,Xiaohua from Grade TwoI . 1. convey 2. salty 3. flexible 4. branch 5. eventually6.exchange7.transform 8.appropriate 9.teaseII.1. transforms 2. conveys 3. appropriate 4. eventually5.exchange6.teasing7. branches8. flexible9. saltyIII.l.D 2.

It is good for them, especially for students. It can widen their views, and it gives them hope and confidence. Besides, as more tourists come to visit universities, these universities can strengthen their influence as well and they can also make some profits from the tourism. After all, the public have the right to get to know the top universities, especially those who do not have a chance, or aretrying to earn a chance, to study there!2... Although most of them are visited with hope and respect, I think university campus should not be open to tourists. First, tourists?痪visit will disturb the normal teaching. Tourists always get into teaching buildings, libraries and so on. They will make noises and throw rubbish everywhere. Second, some tourists pay no attention to grass and flowers when they take photos. These will affect the environment of the campus badly. What?痪s more, it is a place for study not for entertainment. The university is a holy place for study, not for tourism.In my opinion, I am strongly against the idea that the university campus should be open to tourists.Listening materials:Text 1W: Do most Vietnamese eat a lot of meat?M: No, they don?痪t.W: What do they eat?M: They eat fish and vegetables.Text 2W: Are you a new student here?M: Yes.

高二英语外研版选修六习题：课时卷13 含答案
Module 4 课下能力提升(十三)阅读理解AIf you have a good ear for music and have completed a formal music training program, you can become a music transcriber.The primary role of a music transcriber is to listen to the music as it is recorded or played and write it down.The first step to become a music transcriber is to complete a test of your listening skills.The ability to clearly differentiate (区分) between notes, tone and pitch is essential in this position and cannot be taught.A musical ear can be developed over time to enjoy music, but the level of detail required is a natural gift.In many countries, a hearing test is performed before any formal music training is started.Students without an ear for music might be encouraged to try different activities.The next step is to obtain formal music training.This training can start as early as age 3 or 4, as soon as the child can tell apart symbols and follow instructions.The piano is the first instrument for most people, because it is among the simplest to learn.As part of the training program, students typically learn how to read sheet music, play according to the notes and perform.Musical theory, composition classes and musical history are all part of any formal music training program and form the base of knowledge required to become a music transcriber.These classes typically are completed after 8 to 10 years of formal music study, typically when the student is in his or her teens or early adulthood.Ear training classes are a standard part of the curriculum and include exercises focused on improving listening skills.The ability to correctly identify notes when played on a variety of instruments is essential for anyone who wants to become a music transcriber, as this is the majority of his or her daily work.In order to become a music transcriber, the student must be able to quickly and accurately record music for a variety of instruments.Without this background，mistakes can be made, and the music written in a way that makes it impossible to play and recreatethe same effect.1．If someone wants to be a music transcriber, he should first________.A．know the difference between musicB．develop a special musical earC．receive formal music trainingD．complete listening skills test2．Children can start formal music training when they can________.A．play some simple musical instrumentsB．play the piano according to the notesC．recognize symbols and follow instructionsD．perform with the help of instructors3．The underlined word in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ________.A．course B．abilityC．goal D．reality4．The passage mainly tells us________.A．when children can start music trainingB．how to recognize different musicC．how to become a music transcriberD．what is a music transcriberBI fell in love with music from a young age and often sat down making a few songs of my own.What would life be like, I wondered, without a beautiful song？In 1992, I made two love songs for my darling wife and watched tears run down her face as I sang.“Sam, ”she said earnestly, “your songs should be heard by more people.”She got my ballads and started bothering various media people about me, her singing barber husband.Two radio stations took an interest and played the songs.After the programme was aired, I became known in our community as the Singing Barber.The biggest surprise, however, was still to come.I received a call from a music promoter who offered me a longterm recording contract.He explained that he would beinvesting a lot of money to market my songs.I needed to be wholly focused on selling my records all over Australia.But I hesitated.My friends all told me to go for it.And Mary also thought I should do.“Go, Sam.I'll manage with the family ...it'll be OK.”I watched my daughter and son playing in the backyard.Soon they would both be in high school ...and where would I be？I was so used to my family turning to me for love and support.If I were to start a singing career, I would not only miss them terribly, but also certainly miss out on watching them grow up.Signing this contract would put a huge gap between my family and I ...and I couldn't bear it.My family was my life.So I refused the music promoter's offer.I'm still making music, I'm rich in love and I have no regrets.5．When the author was offered the contract, most of his friends________.A．envied him B．laughed at himC．encouraged him D．didn't believe him6．Why did the author give up the contract?A．Because his wife was strongly against it.B．Because the pay was not attractive enough.C．Because he wanted to care about his two kids.D．Because he didn't want his family life damaged.7．According to the passage, we can infer the author ________．A．used to be a country singerB．preferred his present lifeC．went on the road to fameD．regretted giving up his contract8．What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A．One should know himself.B．Interest is the best teacher.C．Family should come first.D．Every dog has its day.CThis may be music to your ears.Researchers P．Jason Rentfrow and Samuel Gosling gave 3, 500 people a personality quiz.Then they asked them to name their favorite kind of music.“We found that the musical styles people like are closely linked to their personalities.”Gosling says.RAP/HIPHOPKnown for their quick speech, some rappers can say more than 700 syllables (音节) a minute!If you like rap/hiphop, you are energetic and have a way with words.You_put_a_fresh_spin_on_things,_whether it's new moves on the dance floor or your hip style.CLASSICALIn the 18th century, classical musicians were like rock stars.Beethoven and Mozart, for example, played to packed concert halls.If you like classical, you are open to new ideas and like debating with friends.Creative and imaginative, you can easily spend many hours scrapbooking, writing or painting.COUNTRYCountry music came from the folk songs of English, Scottish, and Irish settlers of the southeastern United States.If you like country, you express your opinions well, which makes you the ideal class president or team captain.Traditional and loyal, you enjoy spending time with your family.POPPop music is designed to appeal to almost everyone, and it does.Each year, the industry brings in about 30 billion dollars!If you like pop, you are attractive to your friends.You can make big things happen, like planning for a huge party or inspiring your team to victory.ROCK/ALTERNATIVEIn the 1950s, rock music created a brandnew culture.Teenagers, for the first time, had an identity separate from adults and children.If you like rock/alternative, you are a risktaker who never accepts no for an answer.You rise to any challenge, like doing very well in a big exam or landing the lead in the school play.If these personality profiles don't match you, that's OK.These are just for fun.9．What does the underlined part “You put a fresh spin on things” mean in the passage?A．You can express your idea in a clever way that makes it seem better than it really is.B．You have the ability to attract others' attention.C．You are always willing to communicate with others.D．You are willing to express your thoughts to others all the time.10．If you like pop music, ________.A．you are traditional and prefer to stay with yourfamilyB．you are easy to accept new ideasC．you are welcome and your friends all like to be with youD．you have a quick speech and can say 30 words in a minute11．We can know from this passage that________.A．in the 18th century, classical musicians were like pop starsB．country music came from the folk songs of the native AmericansC．pop music is liked by the largest number of people in the worldD．everyone can find his personality in this passage12．What's the best title for the passage?A．When music came into beingB．What

外研英语选修6课文原文(每个模块4篇文章齐全)
外研英语选修6全部阅读课文原文（每个模块4篇）Module 1 Small TalkHow Good Are Your Social Skills?Have you ever crossed the road to avoid talking to someone you recognize? Would you love to go to a party and talk confidently to every guest? Do you want to make more friends but lack the confidence to talk to people you don’t know? And are you nervous about the idea of being at a social event in another country? Don’t worry – we can help you!You needn’t worry about situations like these if you have good social skills. And they are easy to learn. People with good social skills communicate well and know how to have a conversation. It helps if you do a little advance planning. Here are a few ideas to help you.Learn how to do small talk.Small talk is very important and prepares you for more serious conversations. Be prepared! Have some low-risk conversation openers ready. For example:Think of a recent news story – not to serious, e.g. astory about a film star or sports star.Think of things to tell people about your studies.Think of “safe” things you can ask people’s opinions about – music, sport, films, etc.Think of topics that you would avoid if you were talking to strangers – and avoid talking about them! That way, you don’t damage your confidence!Develop your listening skillsListening is a skill which most people lack, but communication is a two-way process – it involves speaking AND listening. Always remember – you won’t impress people if you talk too much. Here are some ideas to make you a better listener:DOShow that you are listening by using encouraging noises and gestures – smiling, nodding, saying “uh-huh” and “OK”, etc.Keep good eye contactUse positive body languageAsk for more information to show your interestDON’TLook at your watchYawnSignLook away from the person who’s talking to youChange the subjectFinish other people’s sentences for themAlways remember the words of Benjamin Disraeli, British Prime Minister in the 19th century: “Talk to a man about himself, and he will speak to you for hours!”Learn the rulesIf you go to a social occasion in another country, remember that social rules can be different. In some countries, for example, you have to arrive on time at a party; in other countries, you don’t need to. In addition, you need to know how long you should stay, and when you have to leave. Some hosts expect flowers or a small gift, but in other places, you can take things, but you needn’t if you don’t want t. remember also that in some countries, you mustn’t take flowers of a certain colour, because they’re unlucky. In most places, you don’t have to take a gift to a party – but find our first!The Wrong Kind of Small TalkEsther Greenbaum was a saleswoman for a firm of fax machines and business supplies. But she was also the most outspokenhuman being in the world – well, Westchester County, at least. Her motto was “Every time I open my mouth, I put my foot in it.”Esther Greenbaum’s major shortcoming was that she had a complete absence of small talk. No, that’ not quite true. She had small talk, but it was the wrong kind. In fact, she had never learnt the basic rules of social communication, and as a consequence, she made systematic mistakes every time she opened her mouth. It was no coincidence either that she wasn’t a very good saleswoman.One day during a meeting, Esther was introduced to an important customer, a mature woman.“Nice to meet you,” she said. “How old are you?” The customer looked awkward.“Forty? Forty-five?” said Esther. “You kook much older. And your friend … she’s older than you, but she looks much younger!”On another occasion, Esther teased a typist, “Hey! When’s your baby due?”The typist went red and contradicted Esther. “Actually, I’m not pregnant,” she said.“Oh, sorry,” said Esther without any apology. “Justputting on a little weight, huh?”Esther was never cautious about other people’s feelings. One of her acquaintances, a salesman in the firm, was going through a very messy divorce and was very depressed. She tried to cheer him up.“Forget her! She was a complete fool. No one liked her anyway.”Much of the time, Esther said the first thing to come into her head. One day at work, a clerk came into the office with a new hairstyle.“Nice haircut,” said Esther. “How much did it cost?” The woman replied, “I’d rather not say.”Esther replied, “Well, anyhow, either you paid too much or you paid too little.”She met a very famous writer once. “Hey, what a coincidence!” she said. “You’re writing a book and I’m reading one!”The trouble with Esther was she said what she thought, and didn’t think about what she said. A young man was trying to modest about his new job many miles away.“I guess the company chose me so they’d get some peace in the office,” he smiled.“No, I guess they chose you to discourage you from spending your whole career with us,” Esther replied sweetly. Once, Esther went to a brunch party to meet some old school friends on the anniversary of their graduation. She greeted the hostess.“Do you remember that guy you were dating? What happened to him?” she asked. “You know, the ugly one.”At the moment, a man came up and stood by her friend. “Esther, I’d like you to meet my husband,” she said, “Charles, this is…”Esther interrupted her, “Hey, so you married him!”Making Friends in the USAIn the USA, conversation is less lively than in many other cultures, where everyone talks at the same time. When someone talks, everyone is expected to listen, no matter how dull the person’s speaking may be.If you’re not sure what to talk about, you can ask what people do. We’re defined by our jobs and we’re usually happy to talk about them, unless you’re spy!Some people say that Americans talk about their feelings more than Asians, but are more secretive about factual matters.You can safely ask questions about families, where you come from, leisure interests, as well as the latest movies. We’re interested in people’s ethnic background too. But it’s best to avoid politics, religion and other sensitive topics.A highly personal conversation can take place after a very short period of knowing someone, but this doesn’t mean that you’re close friends, or the relationship is very deep. But a lot of people are very friendly and hospitable, and the famous invitation “If you’re ever in Minneapolis / San Diego / Poughkeepsie, do call by and see us!” is never made without a genuine desire to meet again.But while few Americans will worry about the questions you may ask, particularly if you clearly show you’re aware of cultural differences, they may hesitate before they ask you similar questions. In fact, it’s a sign that they don’t wish to violate your private life. So, many Americans will talk about safe topics because they don’t dare to be too curious or personal, but will happily talk about more private matters if you take the lead.Generally we dislike arguments, and we avoid topics which lead to disagreement. It’s easy to return to discussing the weather: “Do you like the USA?” How do you like the weather?”or making compliments: ”What lovely flowers and what a beautiful vase!”“That’s fabulous dress you’re wearing.”You should accept compliments graciously and say “Thank you!” There are a couple of dangerous topics of conversation: age and money. Age is not treated as something very special, unless someone is very old: “Isn’t she wonderful for her age!”and there are no special rules or signs of extra respect for elderly people. Anyway, Americans always want to look younger than they really are, so don’t expect an accurate reply!Income is a very private matter, and you’d do well to avoid asking how much people earn, although some people may not only be open about it, but show off their wealth. We don’t ask how much things cost, either.But what we don’t like is silence, and almost anything is better than the embarrassment for a quiet party and silent guests.The AAAIt is estimated that 80% of all conversation in English is small talk. A very important function of small talk is to establish a relationship between people who don’t know each other very well, or don’t know each other at all.Psychologists say that the most successful formula for small talk between people like this is the AAA model. AAA = answer, add and ask. This is how it works.Imagine a situation where two strangers are talking to each other after someone they both know has left the room, or the café or party, etc. the first person asks a question: A: Do you live near here?The second person replies by answering the question, adding some extra information and then asking another question: B: (Answer) Yes, I do.(Add) In an apartment on Brown Street.(Ask) Do you live nearby too?The first person does the same, answer, add and ask:A: (Answer) No, I live in Bristol.(Add) I’m just visiting London.(Ask) Have you lived here long?B: (Answer) Not so long.(Add) I moved here three years ago.(Ask) What’s the purpose of you visit to London?The speakers may have difficulty at first, but they soon realize that the important thing is that they are saying something. By continuing with the AAA model, the conversationcontinues. Because the thing they both want to avoid is an embarrassing silence.The conversation can continue in this way for a long time. However, something can happen that completely changes the atmosphere.B: Why do you live in Bristol?A: I’m studying there. History. Are you a student?B: Yes. And I know some people who are studying at Bristol. Do you know a girl called Helen Brown?A: Helen Brown? Yes! She’s on of my best friends! How do you know her?B: She’s my cousin.At this point, the AAA model stops. Because they used this very useful technique, they found something they have in common at last.Module 2 Fantasy LiteratureThe Cat That VanishedWill was stupefied with exhaustion, and he might have gone on to the north, or he might have laid his head on the grass under one of those trees and slept; but as he stood trying to clearhis head, he saw a cat.She was a tabby, like Moxie. She padded out of a garden on the Oxford side of the road, where Will was standing. Will put down his shopping bag and held out his hand, and the cat came up to rub her head against his knuckles, just as Moxie did. Of course, every cat behaved like that, but all the same Will felt such a longing to turn for home that tears scalded his eyes. Eventually this cat turned away. This was night, and there was a territory to patrol, there were mice to hunt. She padded across the road and towards the bushes just beyond the hornbeam trees, and there she stopped. Will still watching, saw the cat behave curiously. She reached out a paw to pat something in the air in front of her, something quite invisible to Will. Then she leapt backwards, back arched and fur on end, tail held out stiffly. Will knew cat-behaviour. He watched more alertly as the cat approached the spot again, just an empty patch of grass between the hornbeams and the bushes of a garden hedge, and patted the air once more.Again she leapt back, but less far and with less alarm this time. After another few seconds of sniffing, touching, whisker-twitching, curiosity overcame wariness.The cat stepped forward, and vanished.Will blinked. Then he stood still, close to the trunk of the nearest tree, as a truck came round the circle and swept its lights over him. When it had gone past he crossed the road, keeping his eyes on the spot where the cat had been investigating. It wasn’t easy, because there was nothing to fix on, but when he came to the place and cast about to look closely, he saw it.At least, he saw it from some angles. It looked as if someone had cut a patch out of the air, about two metres from the edge of the road, a patch roughly square in shape and less than a metre across. If you were level with the patch so that it was edge-on, it was nearlyinvisible, and it was completely invisible from behind. You could only see it from the side nearest the road, and you couldn’t see it easily even from there, because all you could see through it was exactly the same kind of thing that lay in front of it on this side: a patch of grass lit by a street light.But Will knew without the slightest doubt that that patch of grass on the other side was in a different world. He couldn’t possibly have said why. He knew it at once, as strongly as he knew that fire burned and kindness was good. He was looking at something profoundly alien.And for that reason alone, it enticed him to stoopp and look further. What he saw made his head swim and his heart thump harder, but he didn’t hesitate: he pushed his shopping bag through, and then scrambled through himself, through the hole in the fabric of this world and into another.He found himself standing under a row of trees. But not hornbeam trees: these were tall palms, and they were growing, like the trees in Oxford, in a line along the grass. But his was the centre of a broad boulevard, and at the side of the boulevard was a line of cafes and small shops, all brightly lit, all open, and all utterly silent and empty beneath a sky thick with stars. The hot night was laden with the scent of flowers and with the salt smell of the sea.Will looked around carefully. Behind him the full moon sone down over a distant prospect of great green hills, and on the slopes at the foot of the hills there ere houses with rich gardens and an open parkland with groves of trees and the white gleam of a classical temple.Just beside him was that bare patch in the air, as hard to see from this side as from the other, but definitely there. He bent to look through and saw the road in Oxford, his own world. The turned away with a shudder: whatever this new world was,it had to be better than what he’d just left. With a dawning light-headedness, the feeling that he was dreaming but awake at the same time, he stood up and looked around for the cat, his guide.The Story of J.K. Rowling and Harry PotterThe elder stateswoman of British fantasy literature is J.K. Rowling, the gifted creator of Harry Potter. Joanne Rowling’s roots are in the southwest of England, where she grew up. But the idea for Harry Potter came to her while she was on a delayed train between Manchester and London. She wrote down her ideas on the back of an envelope. She then went to teach English in Portugal, where she continued to add flesh to the bones of the first Harry Potter story. But her name is forever associated with Edinburgh in Scotland, where she lived and developed the format for the whole series of seven books.There are many anecdotes about how, in 1990, J.K. Rowling began the first draft of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. She had the extra burden of looking after her baby daughter while she worked, and because she was too poor to own a typewriter, she wrote by hand. She spent many hours over a single cup of coffee in a warm cafeteria in Edinburgh becauseshe had no money to pay for the heating at home.Success was not swift and Rowling might have given up. But she was stubborn and overcame all the difficulties. It was only in 1997 that she completed the first Harry Potter story, which, because the publishers in the USA requested an adjustment to the title, was also known as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.Rowling always intended that her output would be a book every year until she had finished the series. In fact, it took her about ten years to complete. But after the first book, the success of each of the following titles was automatic. The fifth book, The Order of the Phoenix sold about seven million copies the day it was published.Rowling’s style has been a target for some criticism, but what makes the books so important is that, because they appeal to readers of all ages, they create a special literary bond between parents and children. In an age of computer games and television programmes, it is also claimed they are responsible for a renewed interest in reading. Harry Potter has even become part of the school curriculum, much to the pleasure of the schoolchildren.And the Harry Potter effect is not just restricted to theEnglish-speaking world. Rowling’s books have been translated into more than 55 languages, and it has been estimated thath more than 250 million copies have been distributed around the world. In 2005 it was estimated that Rowling had accumulated more than one billion dollars on deposit in her bank. She has thus attained the status of being the first writer to become a billionaire.IntroductionOne of the greatest British writes of fantasy literature was C.S.Lewis (1898-1963), who wrote The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Lucy discovers the winter land of Narnia where she and her two brothers and sister meet the White Witch. They also meet Aslan, the lion, who is the only one who can defeat the Witch and restore summer to Narnia. With Aslan, the children learn to be brave and to forgive. They learn great sorrow and happiness, and finally they learn wisdom. Their time in Narnia is the great adventure that every child dreams of.Extract from The Lion, the Witch and the WardrobeAnd then she saw that there was a light ahead of her; not a few inches away where the back of the wardrobe ought to have been, but a long way off. Something cold and soft was falling on her.A moment later she found that she was standing in the middle of a wood at nighttime with snow under her feet and snowflakes falling through the air.Lucy felt a little frightened, but she felt very inquisitive and excited as well. She looked back over her shoulder and there, between the dark tree trunks, she could still see the open doorway of the wardrobe and even catch a glimpse of the empty room from which she had set out. (She had, of course, left the door open, for she knew that it was a very silly thing to shut oneself into a wardrobe.) It seemed to be still daylight there. “I can always get back if anything goes wrong,” thought Lucy. She began to walk forward, crunch-crunch over the snow and through the wood towards the other light. In about ten minutes she reached it and found it was a lamppost. As she stood looking at it, wondering why there was a lamppost in the middle of a wood, and wondering what to do next, she heard the pitter-patter of feet coming towards her. And soon after that a very strange person stepped out from among the trees in to the light of the lamppost.He was only a little taller than Lucy herself and carried over his head an umbrella, white with snow. From the waist upwars he was like a man, but his legs were shaped like a goat’s (the hair on them was glossy black) and instead of feet he had goat’s hoofs. He also had a tail, but Lucy did not notice this at first because it was so neatly caught up over the arm that held the umbrella so as to keep it from trailing in the snow. He had a red woolen muffler round his neck and his skin was rather reddish too. He had a strange, but pleasant little face, with a short pointed beard and curly hair, and out of the hair there stuck two horns, one on each side of his forehead. One of his hands, as I have said, held the umbrella; in the other arm he carried several brown-paper parcels. With the parcels and the snow it looked just as if he had been doing his Christmas shopping. He was a Faun. And when he saw Lucy he gave such a start of surprise that he dropped all his parcels.“Goodness gracious me!” exclaimed the Faun.The Lord of the RingsOne of the most famous fantasy stories of the twentieth century is the trilogy The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. All three parts of the story have been made into very successful films. The story takes place in a world called Middle Earth. Humans are only one of the creatures who exist at this time. There are also elves, tall beautiful creatures who have magical powersand never die. There are hobbits, who are like small humans and live in holes in hills. There are also dwarves, who are similar to small, ugly men and live deep in the mountains.In The Lord of the Rings, a wicked wizard called Sauron, who has great magical powers, has created nine rings. Any creature who possesses one of these rings has great power. But Sauron has created one ring – the Ring – that can control all of these rings. The person who has this ring controls the whole of Middle Earth.Fortunately, this ring has been lost for hundreds of years. But then it is discovered by a hobbit. Sauron, realiseng that the Ring has been found, sends his creatures to get it back. If he finds the Ring, Sauron will rule Middle Earth and it will become a place of darkness and fear. Gandalf, a good wizard, realizes that in order to save Middle Earth, the Ring must be destroyed. To do this, someone must take the Ring into Sauron’s kingdom. There, they must destroy the Ring in the fires that created it. The three books tell the story of the journey to destroy the Ring. In the last book of the trilogy there is a terrible war between Sauron and his creatures, and those who want to save Middle Earth.Many people believe that The Load of the Rings is the besttwentieth century novel in English. Of course, there are always those who do not enjoy reading fantasy novels. But if you do, then this is one story you should definitely read.Module 3 Interpersonal Relationships – FriendshipRoy’s StoryI remember the first time I met Roy. He was standing in the centre of a group of boys, and he was telling a joke. When he reached the final line, everyone burst out laughing. Roy laughed too. A loud happy laugh. “Popular boy,” I thought to myself. My name is Daniel. I was from the north of England, but my father had been offered a better job in London, and our whole family had moved there. I was twelve and, having lost all my old friends, I felt shy and lonely at my new school.There were 33 students in my new class, and most people weren’t very interested in a shy new boy. Roy was one of the few people who were kind to me. He often invited me to join his particular group, and as a result, I started getting to know people. Roy and I become good friends. We trusted each other and we could talk about personal matters, things that wereimportant to us.Five years later, Roy and I are still in the same class. But just under a year ago. Roy’s father was knocked over by a car. He died a few days later. The family had to move to a much smaller house in order to manage financially. Roy, who had always been very close to his father, changed completely, becoming silent and moody. He had always been a clever, hard-working student but now he seemed to lose all interest in his work. He started losing friends. These days, Roy and I see each other from time to time, but we no longer close.About three months ago, a group of us were playing football together after school. Having left something in the cloakroom, I went inside to get it, and found Roy going through the pockets of people’s coats. In his hand he had a wallet – and I knew it wasn’t his! My mouth fell open and I just looked at him. Roy went bright red. ”I’ll put it back right now,” he said, and he did so. I turned round and walked out without saying a word.I really hoped that Roy would explain why he had been stealing, but instead he started avoiding me. At the same time, small amounts of money started disappearing from students’lockers. I wonder if the thief was Roy but decided not to sayanything to anyone. I hope it wasn’t him.Last week our school had a big fair in order to raise money for a charity. It was very successful and by the end of the day, we had made about $500. Our class teacher, Mr White, came and chatted to a group of us that included Roy, and held up a box for us to see. “There’s $500 in here,” he said with a smile. But to our surprise, the next morning, we were told that the money had been stolen. Mr White had left the box in a classroom for a few minutes, and when he came back it had disappeared. The head teacher asked anyone who thought they might know something about the theft to come to him.This weekend, having thought about the situation for a while, I decided to ask Roy about the theft, and this morning I went to see him. Roy was out, and I went upstairs to his bedroom to wait for him. It was a cold day and his jacket was lying on the back of a chair. I put it on and put my hands in the pockets.I could feel a lot of paper notes and I pulled them out.It looked as if there was about $500 there. I was so surprised that I just stood there, holding the notes in my hands. At that moment, the door swung open, and Roy walked in.Childhood FriendsThe first time I lost my best friend, I thought it was the end of the world. I don’t mean that he died, he just went away, but I still measure all pain by how hurt I was when Danny left.I was blessed with a happy childhood, one that most people would want to have. We lived in a small bungalow in a tiny village in Scotland and we were a very close family. Our neighbours next door had a son named Danny, and we grew up together.We spent long summer evenings in the pine forests, digging up worms for fishing, and collecting feathers left by the birds in the cages where they had been kept for the hunters. It was here that I discovered that I was allergic to the tiny flies which bit me and made my face swell. There were a few walnut trees above the village and we would chase the squirrels away and wait for them to ripen. Of course, it was too far north for a proper harvest. On windy days we’d slide down the stony slopes to the loch and feel the spray of the sea in our faces.Danny was a good carpenter too, and we made brooms out of branches, which we tried to sell in the village shop. We built a tree house, where we smoked our first cigar, and I was sick! Once I slipped on some damp leaves, fell out, scratched my arms and cut the heel of my foot, so he washed my wounds in the stream.He was a very considerate boy for someone so young. My mother simply scolded me for tearing my underwear.We were on good terms with everyone in the village, and we even gave a salute to the local policeman as he passed on his bicycle. But in our imagination, he was an enemy soldier, and we were two spies looking for secrets.It was the finest friendship anyone could have, and life seemed perfect.And then at the age of 14, his parents moved to London, over 400 kilometres away. The pain was acute, and I couldn’t forgive Danny for leaving me. I felt he had betrayed me. It was the worst loss I have ever experienced.I’m now back in touch with Danny, and it’s a privilege to call him my friend. We’re both much more mature now, and we’re still very alike.But while I’m nostalgic for the happy times we spent together many years ago, I’m ashamed of my feelings, and I don’t want to rewind the recording of my life and remember my loss and my pain.Friends ReunitedOne of the biggest Internet successes is a website calledFriends Reunited. Friends Reunited brings together – that is, unites – old friends, people who used to be friends with each other, but have not seen each other for a long time.The website was begun in 1999 by a London couple called Stephen and Julie Pankhurst. Julie wanted to know what her old school friends were doing. Did they all have families or their own? Did they still live in the same area? Were they married? Did they have children? She and her husband realised that the Internet was the perfect way to get in touch with old friends, and Steve and his business partner, Jason Porter, built the website. Slowly, people heard about the site and became interested. By the end of 2000 the site had 3,000 members. Then the website was mentioned on a radio programme and suddenly the site became very popular. By the end of 2001 the website had 4 million members, and by the end of 2002 it had over 8 million! How do you find old friends using Friends Reunited? It’s very easy. People join the website and give information about themselves – the name of their old school, the neighbourhood they lived in, the college the went to, the sports team they belonged to, etc. To find an old friend, you type in their name, school, etc. you may find that your friend is a member of the website, and you can then contact him or her through the website.。

The earliest ices were eaten in China many years ago. The people would put orange juice on ice. Later this idea traveled to Italy. Nero, the emperor of Rome between 37 and 68 AD liked to eat ice as a special treat between violin lessons. He ordered runners to run to the mountains, get snow and quickly ran back to the palace. The snow was mixed with fruit juices and nuts. Around 1660, coffee shops serving ice cream were very popular in Paris. Italians owned most of the coffee shops. A man from Sicily, named Francesco, opened the first successful one. Before ice cream was sold in stores, it was madeand frozen at home. It took a lot of work to make the cream, eggs, fruit, ice and salt and then to freeze it. Nancy Johnson, an American woman who was good at machines invented the hand-turned ice-cream freezer in 1846. Five years later, Jacob Flusell opened the first ice cream business in Maryland, US. His business quickly spread to other states. Today, in the US, ice cream is not only a nice food, but a way of life.第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)21．B细节理解题。
