限时规范练11(必修3Unit1)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、了解世界节日的思维意识一、阅读理解AFebruary was a hard month for Internet-connected toys.First,Germany stopped the sale of My Friend Cayla.The German government believed that hackers (电脑黑客) could use the talking toy to get information on kids.Then puter users learned that CloudPets,made by Spiral Toys,had a problem.The toy’s Internet connection allows users to send and receive voice puter experts discovered that CloudPets’ database was not safe.The private information of more than 820,000 users was at risk of being stolen.Computer hackers didn’t only hit toys.Many big companies in the U.S.have also been hacked.The hits showed emails,card numbers,fingerprints,and other private information.Experts are looking for ways to fight hackers.Kids are joining the fight and getting ready to lead.The organizers of CyberPatriot see the advantages of getting an early start in cybersecurity (网络安全).In 2016,69,000 students took part in the cyber-education program.Its goal is to encourage kids to make achievements in cybersecurity and in STEM fields,including science and technology.CyberPatriot’s central project is the yearly National Youth Cyber Defense Competition.Winners receive some money to help pay for their education.The competition takes place over severalmonths.Student teams manage the computer network at a fictional company.They must find and fix its security problems.From April 3 to 5,the nation’s top teams competed in the finals,in Baltimore,Maryland.Team Error 37,from Summit Lakes Middle School,in Lee’s Summit,Missouri,won the middle school group.“There will be a lot of jobs that require cybersecurity knowledge,” said team member Keenan Curp,13.Arjun Pratap Ghoshal,13,also competed in Baltimore.He was the leader of a team from Oak Valley Middle School,in San Diego,California.“We have to teach kids around us about cybersecurity,” he says,“so that we can prevent harmful hacking.”1.Why was February hard for My Friend Cayla?A.It was less popular among kids.B.It was taken off the market.C.It couldn’t provide information for kids.D.It couldn’t be connected to the Internet.2.What’s the purpose of CyberPatriot?A.To get

not be underestimated.They are intelligent animals born with both excellent memory and artistic talent.Elephants eat about 495 pounds of vegetarian food a day.They spend about 16 hours a day eating,but must walk about 4 miles a day in search of food.The average elephant lives about 70 years,and its sharp memory allows it to remember places where it has found food as long as 30 years earlier,even as a baby.In an elephant’s travels,it comes across other elephants also looking for food.Some elephants are friendly,and some are not so nice.Elephants remember every elephant they have ever met.They can even recognize an elephant they perhaps haven’t seen for 30 years.They immediately remember whether this elephant is an enemy or a friend.When elephants are not searching for food,they sometimes produce art in the sand with their trunks (象鼻).They seem to enjoy just relaxing and painting in the sand.One day,an elephant zoo-keeper noticed this and gave an elephant a paint brush filled with red paint to see if the elephant would paint on a canvas (画布).Sure enough,it did,and since then elephants in most zoos have been given paint brushes,paints,and canvases.The resulting abstract art has been sold for high prices around the world.The money goes to support feeding the elephants in the zoos.Most felt that the elephants were only capable of painting abstracts.However,they have been trained to paint trees,flowers,and other things in nature.This has enabled us to understand “elephant genius” even more.4.What does the underlined word “underestimated” mean?A.Mistaken.B.Controlled.C.Undervalued.D.Underdeveloped.5.What can we learn about elephants’ memory?A.It remains excellent for 70 years.B.It differs greatly among elephants.C.It

was a born artist.D.To find out whether it could draw.7.Which can best describe elephants according to the text?A.Really brave.B.Highly smart.C.Unusually quiet.D.Extremely friendly.二、七选五It could happen anywhere at any time.1 Most people,at one time or another,have been on the receiving end of a random act of kindness.In a sometimes cold world where people can be so focused on what they’re doing,a random act of kindness can make all the difference.They can be relatively insignificant.Hannah Bailey from London,for example,told the Metro newspaper about how she was given her fruit and vegetable shopping for free.The seller did her a kindness when it appeared she didn’t have any change to pay.2The city of Naples has long had a tradition called “caffè sospeso”.When buying coffee,a person who has recently been lucky would purchase two cups but only drink one,leaving the second one anonymously(匿名),out of the goodness of their heart,for a poor person to claim for free.3 However,in some cases,these little acts can be a matter of life and death.Take,for example,the unnamed commuter,who in June 2018 fell off a station platform onto an electric railway track in Toronto,Canada.A quick-thinking,but even now unknown,bystander selflessly leapt down to pull him to safety.So,why do it?4 The people never meet again.According to UK charity The Mental Health Foundation,acts like these can “give our lives new purpose,show us other perspectives on our own problems and even make us feel content.”5 Hold open a door for someone,deliver a compliment—even give up your seat on a bus.Help someone who is in need.It takes all kinds.It needn’t be anything huge.One day,whether you need it or not,someone might help you in your hour of need.A.So give it a try.B.Be brave to face challenges.C.Often,the acts aren’t paid back.D.She was happy about it all day.E.She was in low spirits the whole day.F.This tradition is now more common worldwide.G.It’s often unexpected,but almost never unappreciated.三、语法填空Spending the holidays at home can give you 1.
