Ⅰ阅读理解ASeven years ago，back in 2010，some reports covered a story that the worl d’s longest railway tunnel was under construction in Switzerland.At that point it had already been under construction for over a decade.It had been voted to be built nearly a quarter of a century ago！The idea to build it could date back to nearly 70 years ago—about as old as some of your grandparents!Yesterday，it was finally ready!It’s about 35 miles long and runs 7，500 feet beneath the Swiss Alps，a famous mountain range in Switzerland.It even runs under an old tunnel that was there before.It took a total of 17 years to build at a cost of$12 billion！28 million tons of rock were dug.Two million truckloads of earth were removed!The tunnel connects northern and southern Europe.The opening of this tunnel was such a big deal that the Germany’s leader，Chancellor Angela Merkel，France’s president，Francois Hollande，and Italy’s prime minister，Matteo Renzi，were all there to celebrate，as was Austria’s chancellor Christian Kern.It’s called the Gotthard Base Tunnel.Eventually，325 freight and passenger trains will go through the tunnel，relieving a lot of traffic on the roadways there and making it a more environmentally friendly option.The Gotthard Base Tunnel is a wonder of engineering and makes us want to visit it!【解题导语】本文介绍了戈特哈德隧道的建成及其相关情况和由此带来的意义。

He shows that far from being fearless, she could often be fearful without cause．The final volume will include her fall from power.Harold Wilson by Ben Pimlott (1992)Harold Wilson had become a ghostly figure when this book was published in 1992．The absence heightened a sense of mystery．Who was he? How to explain his seemingly contradictory characteristics? Pimlott solves some of the mysteries; the book is detailed until Wilson’s final phase as prime minister in 1974.Churchill by Roy Jenkins (2001)Jenkins writes as a politician as well as a historian, analyzi ng Churchill’s historic moves from the opinions of one who had also spoken in the Commons．Jenkins had resigned from high positions in battles over policy, and as one that changed parties, though not as frequently as Churchill did.Roy Jenkins by John Campbell (2014)Campbell calmly narrates many political and personal dramas, including Jenkins’intense relationship with Anthony Crosland when they were both students at Oxford．Campbell also addresses Jenkins’various affairs with women．Like Jenkins’ political heroes, he led many lives. Campbell is sharp in describing each of them.Diaries, Volumes One to Six by Alastair Campbell (2017)Love or hate him, Campbell remains the master of the inside story, not just because of his unusual ideas on the relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown．This is an incredibly detailed book on what it’s like to live inside No．10: the cruel space of events; and the constant conflict with the media.【解题导语】本文是一篇应用文。

课时作业(三十六)Ⅰ.[文章大意] 作者是一位挪威的后裔，他为自己的祖先感到自豪，同时又为自己是一位美国人感到骄傲。
1．A推理判断题。
作者在文中讲述了自己是移民的后裔，现在是美国人，文章最后一段中“I am proud of my heritage, and I am proud to be an American.”表明，作者为自己是挪威后裔自豪，也为是美国人而骄傲。
因此选项A正确。
2．C推理判断题。
依据文中的“My grandparents settled near the small community of Pekin, North Dakota and many years later they became quite well-off farmers.”可知，祖父母落户在北达科他州，很多年后，他们变成了十分富裕的农民。
因此祖父母到了北达科他州后一定是开始辛勤地劳作。
3．B细节理解题。
依据文中的“Th at school served the families who had set up farming in that area.”可知，祖父母办学的目的是帮助那些在这里搞农业经营的家庭。
4．B细节理解题。
依据文中的“…all of them wanted their children to learn about their new homeland and to speak the American language.”可知，祖父母这一代人的愿望是孩子们了解他们的新家园，说美国语言。
Ⅱ.[文章大意] 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国社会的特点：多样性和整体性兼而有之。
1．B根据下文“From this point of view, America is very much like a salad bowl where individual ethnic groups mix together, yet maintain their cultural uniqueness.”可推知，这些食材放在一起但可以保持自己的特色，与下文的转折“Together, however, the ingredi ents make up a unity.”形成对比，故选B。

Common public speaking problemsThe use of “I feel”, “I think” and “maybe”In the question-and-answer session of the speaking competition, many contestants began their answers with uncertain expressions like “I feel”, “I guess”, “I hear”, “maybe” and “perhaps”.These words show that the person is only speaking from his or her point of view. 1 Work on keeping your answers brief and to the point. 2 Instead of the empty-sounding “I guess”, using facts, together with a clear conclusion based on those facts, is far more likely to be popular with an audience.Using only one speaking styleDon’t stick to the same tone. 3For example, when they spoke about their dreams, some sounded romantic. Others used humor. Very few used several different styles together. Try mixing more than one style, rather than just sticking with the same one.Irresponsible answersPublic speaking is different from personal conversations. You’re responsible for your words. 4 So you should think twice before you talk. Don’t be like the student who, when asked about his opinion on book piracy(盗版), started by saying he supported it.Talking around the topic rather than directly answering itYou should focus on one point and give a clear solution. The key is to work out what question is being asked. Is it asking you to discuss a certain topic or to present your own point of view?Use one or two arguments together and give a strong conclusion. 5A.It can be boring.B.Even though you want to answer quickly, you don’t want to sound foolish.C.Also work on delivering them with calmness and confidence.D.Deliberate gestures and affected (做作的) expression of feelings are improper in a successful speech.E.Remember that judges are not judging you on whether they agree, but on your ability to say what you think clearly.F.This lacks the support of facts and seems not to be reliable for the judges and audience.G.Confidence is extremely important in public speaking as it lets a speaker sound more convincing.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.答案[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,文章列举了在演讲比赛问答环节中常出现的四个问题并提出了解决方案。

In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.Perhaps the show's popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowderand paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result？It's possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.But there's still hope for the paint brush. China's Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays a s a group of sixyearolds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher's examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now？” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture, ” she answers. “Students must learn now so they don't forget when they grow up. ” says the teacher.【解题导语】本文介绍了针对很多中国人忘记许多汉字的写法这一现状而进行的补救措施——让学生参加汉字拼写大会、教小学生书法。

Ⅰ.阅读理解AStaying silent can be just as powerful as the words you mean to say, like when the act of hugging will be more comforting than saying, “Sorry for your loss.”Another time when silence is golden is when you are unsure of what to say. If you are confused about your own feelings concerning a matter, it's best to stay quiet until you are more certain because more harm can be done by revealing false or exaggerated feelings.Choose silence instead of blurting out “in–the–moment” feelings that are hurtful and not really how you feel in the grand scheme of things. When you feel the urge to say an unkind thing, take a few breaths and think of the possible consequences of your words.Silence can be your best friend during negotiations. Say your piece, then close your mouth, and let other persons come to their own conclusions. Your silence shows that one, you are confident in what you just said, and two, you respect other persons enough to hear what they have to say.Sometimes silence is the best and most timely solution because other persons are not in a position to hear what you have to say. For example, when a friend needs you to listen to her problems, but she is unable to accept your advice at that moment.Practice being silent at work when you don't have anything meaningful to contribute. Unless you can elevate the conversation by pointing out something interesting, missing, or beneficial, it's best to just observe and learn.Finally, silence is golden when you don't want to engage in a fool's argument. As some squabbles will never be resolved, one must agree to disagree.However, there will be times in your life when you will need the power of your voice, the voice within you that wants and needs to be respected and appreciated.语篇导读本文为议论文。

That's the question scientists will be asking in Lima next month, when a selection of potatoes will begin undergoing tests to determine whether they are fit to grow on Mars.NASA, the US space agency, is conducting the pioneering experiment together with Lima's International Potato Center.They will cultivate a hundred selected varieties in Mars-like conditions that could eventually pave the way for building a dome on the Red Planet for farming the vegetable. Of the selected candidates,40 are native to the Andes Mountains, conditioned to grow in different ecological zones, can stand sudden climate changes and reproduce in rocky areas. The other 60 are improved varieties, able to survive with little water and salt. They are also immune to viruses.Those that pass the tests must meet a final criterion—they must be able not only to grow well on Mars but also reproduce in large quantities. “We're almost 100 percent certain that many of the selected potatoes will pass the tests，” said Julio Valdivia Silva, a Peruvian NASA astrobiologist (太空生物学家)who is taking part in the ambitious project. The scientists plan to transport 100 kilos of soil to a lab in Lima that will simulate the complex Martian atmosphere—which contains mostly carbon dioxide—and expose it to extremeultraviolet(紫外线的) radiation. If the varieties selected for next month's experiment don't adapt to the desert soil, the researchers will introduce nutrients, which will be provided by radiation.In future years, NASA plans to build a Mars research center in the Peruvian desert. It would create a perfect copy of the Martian landscape and atmosphere for future research into space farming that could serve manned missions to Mars and other planets in the solar system.[语篇解读]本文为一篇新闻报道。

Ⅰ阅读理解A(2019·安徽百所重点高中模拟)I had the honour of being electedchief of my tribe(部落)．With the title came great responsibility. It was myjob to make peace with the Maori Tamaki tribe, whose village we visited.Their soldiers jumped from a canoe and faced us down with fierce crying,sticking eyes and much noise of sticks. They laid a palm leaf on the groundand, as head, I was forced to accept this peace offering by picking it up, then touching noses with their chief. “Kia ora，”he said, welcoming us into the woodland home of his people.My “tr ibe” was my New Zealand coach tour group, who had forced me into being their leader. We had been warned that the ceremony was a serious occasion and that to laugh or even smile would be considered rude to the Tamaki. After that it was nonstop fun as they demonstrated their ancient customs and I received instruction in performing the haka, the war dance immortalized(使不朽) by the All Blacks rugby team.Then they pulled our dinner of lamb, beef and vegetables out of the ground. It had been slowcooked in the heat just below the surface in the geothermal(地热的) area of North Island, a Maori tradition known as a hangi that goes back an extremely long period of time.Obviously, this form of it is put on for tourists but it was hugely enjoyable. The journey back to the hotel was alone worth the effort, our elder Maori driver being deserving of his own television show. “The wheels on the bus go round and round，”he got us singing, while he circuited a round about three times.A couple of days from the end of our trip, there was still something missing, a New Zealand icon I wanted to see to make my grand tour complete. Riding over a ridge, there it was—Aotearoa. The Maori name for New Zealand translates as “the land of the long white cloud”. Can I say “Kia ora, Aotearoa？” You bet I can.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了他去新西兰旅游时接触到的毛利文化。
[备考资料】2020届高考英语选修8练习：Unit 2 Cloning.docx
选修8 Unit 2 CloningⅠ.阅读理解AEvery pet owner loves his pet. There is no argument here.But when we asked our readers whether they would clone their beloved animals, the responses were split almost down the middle. Of the 228 readers who answered it, 108 would clone, 111 would not and nine weighed each side without offering an opinion.Clearly, from readers response, this is an issue that reaches deeply into both the joy and eventual sadness of owning a pet. It speaks, as well, to people s widely differing expectations over the developing scientific procedure.Most of the respondents who favoured the idea strongly believed it would produce at least a close copy of the original; many felt the process would actually return an exact copy. Those on the other side,however,held little hope that a clone could never truly recreate a pet,and many simply didn t wish to go against the natural law of life and death.Both sides expressed equal love for their animals. More than a few respondents owned “the dog/cat in the world”. They thought of their pets as their “best friend”,“a member of the family”,“the light of my life”. They told moving stories of pets heroism, intelligence and selfless devotion.Little wondered the loss is so disturbing,and the cloning is so attractive. “People become very close to their animals, and the loss can be just as hard to bear as when a friend or family member dies,”says Gary Kowalski, author of Goodbye,Friend: healing wisdom for anyone who has ever lost a pet. “For me, cloning feels like an attempt to turndeath away…It s understandable. Death is always painful. It s difficult to deal with. It s hard to accept.”But would cloning reduce the blow? This question seemed to be at the heart of this problem.1. So far as the cloning of pets is concerned,a recent survey shows that,of all pet owners,.A.a lot more of them are for itB.a lot more of them are against itC.very few of them are willing to tell their opinionsD.about half of them are for it and the other half against it2. While talking about the responses from the readers, the expression “eventual sadness of owning a pet”refers to .A.the troubles one has to deal with in keeping a petB.the high cost of owning a petC.the death of one s petD.the dangers involved in the cloning of a pet3. From what Gary Kowalski says, we can know that he .A.has never thought about the problem of cloningB.is in favour of the idea of cloning petsC.is going to write another book on petsD.is all against the cloning of pets4. What is the key question at the heart of the problem of cloning pets?A.Can cloning make the pain one suffers less when a pet dies?B.Can pet owners afford the cost of cloning?C.Does cloning go against the law of nature?D.How reliably does cloning produce an exact copy of one s pet?BChinese scientists recently have produced two monkeys with the same gene, Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua,using the same technique that gave us Dolly the sheep. These monkeys are not actually the first primates(灵长类)to be cloned. Another one named Tetra was produced in the late 1990s by embryo(胚胎) splitting, the division of an early-stage embryo into two or four separate cells to make clones. By contrast, they were each made by replacing an egg cell nucleus(原子核) with DNA from a differentiated body cell. This Dolly method, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer(SCNT), can create more clones and allows researchers greater control over the edits they make to the DNA.Success came from adopting several new techniques. These included a new type of microscopy to better view the cells during handling or using several materials that encourage cell reprogramming,which hadn t been tried before on primates. Still,the research process proved difficult, and many attempts by the team failed. Just two healthy baby monkeys were born from more than 60 tested mothers. This leads to many researchers pouring water on the idea that the team s results bring scientists closer to cloning humans. They thought this work is not a stepping stone to establishing methods for obtaining live born human clones. Instead, this clearly remains a very foolish thing to attempt. It would be far too inefficient, far too unsafe, and it is also pointless.But the scientists involved emphasize that this is not their goal. There is now nobarrier for cloning primate species, thus cloning humans is closer to reality. However, their research purpose is entirely for producing non-human primate models for human diseases; they absolutely have no intention, and society will not permit this work to be extended to humans. Despite limitations,they treat this breakthrough as a novel model system for scientists studying human biology and disease.5.What do we know about the technology called SCNT?A.It created the first two primates.B.It may contribute to editing the DNA.C.It can divide an early-stage embryo into several cells.D.It produced two cloned monkeys with different genes.6.What does the author mean by “pouring water on the idea”in Paragraph 2?A.Keeping a hot topic of it.B.Having a low opinion of it.C.Attaching no importance to it.D.Adding supportive evidence to it.7.What is the scientists purpose to clone these monkeys?A.To help with the study of human diseases.B.To serve as a stepping stone to their reputation.C.To prepare for their research on human cloning.D.To raise money for holding an exhibition of novels.8.What can we infer from the passage?A.New techniques seem to be pointless.B.Cloning humans is already on its way.C.Society won t agree to clone another monkey.D.The success rate of cloning a monkey was not high.Ⅱ.语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

A (2019·江西省三校联考)A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to“read” human personalities.The eyes，they say，are the windows to the soul.And if that is true，computers and robots powered by sophisticated(复杂的) artificial intelligence algorithms(演算法) may soon have the ability to peer into your soul.That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality，conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.“Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality，”wrote the researchers，led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher，whose team followed 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements，then determined their personality traits with“well-established questionnaires”for determining the personality type，according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.The researchers fed the data into their AI algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person's major personality traits，such as “neuroticism，extraversion(外向)，agreeableness，conscientiousness，as well as curiosity”，the scientists wrote.“The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other high-tech devices，even robots，allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines，”Loetscher said.“People are always looking for improved，personalized services.Today's robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non-verbal information，“Loetscher said in a statement quoted by The Indian Express.This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural，and better at interpreting human social signals.”The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies，according to a summary in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一项人工智能计算机和机器人通过读人眼球的运动从而一窥人的个性的研究。
