限时规范练48(选修8Module6)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与自然、保护环境的素养能力意识一、阅读理解AChildren from four Buckinghamshire primary schools visited Epilepsy Society to plant a hedge (树篱) as part of a Plant-for-the-Planet project.The children from these schools were planting a hedge in the garden of the Queen Elizabeth House at the charity in Chalfont St Peter.Plant-for-the-Planet gives children across the globe the opportunity to learn about the threats of global warming to the environment,and then put their new knowledge into practice as they plant new trees.The day was organised by Bob Sherren who showed the children how to plant the planet-friendly line of trees in protective chambers (防护室) to shield them from hungry wildlife as they settle in theirroots.Bob said,“The day really was ‘Thinking Globally,Acting Locally’ put into action.The children learned about the importance of planting trees as a way of helping to bring about climate justice for many living in poorer nations and of course enjoyed planting the trees too.” The eventual hedge,which will grow to full size over ten years behind the Queen Elizabeth House,is made up of trees such as oaks,silver birches and so on.Bob added,“The children were also able to help people living at Epilepsy Society because they will gain some well-needed privacy from the hedge in time.The natural wildlife benefits too from the fruits and nuts that a hedge made from native species can provide as well as the possibility for any number of nesting sites.”Emma Darlington,Epilepsy Society’s volunteer officer,said,“I think it’s so important to encourage the younger generation that the future is in their hands and that they can make a difference,whether it is through taking part in projects like this or spreading awareness.We hope they learn a little bit about the work we do at Epilepsy Society too — the trees they planted will be enjoyed by everyone here for years to come.”1.What is the purpose of the Plant-for-the-Planet project?A.To help children learn

can benefit every doctor’s education and work,Rafael Campo.Rafael is a doctor,professor and a highly respected poet.“Poetry is in every encounter (邂逅) with my patients.I think healing really in a very great way is about poetry.And if we do anything when we’re with our patients,we’re really losing ourselves in their stories,really hearing their voices.And,certainly,that’s what a poem does,” he said.Campo worries that something important has been lost in medicine and medical educationtoday:humanity,which he finds in poetry.To end that,he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents (住院医生).He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from his or her patients,and poems can help close that gap.Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars.She said,“I think there’s no other profession other than medicine that produces as many writers as it does.And I think that is because there’s just so much power in doctors and patients interacting when patients are at their saddest.” Not everyone believes that’s what doctors should do,though.Rafael said,“I was afraid of how people might judge me,actually.In the medical profession,as many people know,we must always put the emergency first.But,you know,that kind of treatment,if it’s happening in the hospital,very regrettably,sadly,results in a bad outcome.The family is sitting by the bedside.The patient hasn’t survived the cancer.Don’t we still have a role as healers there?”In a poem titled “Health”,Campo writes of the wish to live forever in a world made painless by our incurable joy.He says he will continue teaching students,helping patients and writing poems,his own brand of medicine.5.What do we know about Rafael Campo?A.He works as a doctor.B.He is under medical care.C.He is a literature professor.D.He knows little about poetry.6.What does the author try to show in Paragraph 2?A.The importance of medical training.B.The

comforts patients’ family.B.It contributes to medical work.C.It has nothing to do with doctors.D.It keeps doctors away from patients.8.What is Rafael Campo’s view on poetry?A.It requires a lot of spare time.B.It can provide a useful tool for doctors.C.It has little effect on patients’ conditions.D.It should be included in emergency treatments.二、完形填空Last week,my friends and I were on a vacation
