专项提升：阅读理解专练AThere are a number of special days of the year that are celebrated in different countries. The origins of most of the days are unknown. They were certainly not created by individual people. Other days, however, especially those celebrated in western countries often owe their origins to a particular person. One of the most popular of these, even though it is fairly recent, is Mother's Day. Mothers have always been highly regarded in all cultures. The ancient Romans had a festival known as Hilaria, during which children took presents to the temple of the“Mother of Gods”. The Christian Church adopted this idea and called it Mothering Sunday. However, over the years this custom was gradually forgotten, and almost disappeared by the end of the 19th century.Born in 1864 in Virginia, USA, Anna Jarvis was a school teacher and believed children should show gratitude to their mothers for all their love and care. Encouraged by a friend, she wrote to thousands of important people—politicians, churchmen, doctors, city officials and asked them to support her idea: a special day of the year for thanking mothers.In 1910 the Governor of West Virginia introduced Mother's Day into the state. The date chosen was May 10—the second Sunday in May, which is still observed in America today. This date was chosen because May 10 was the date on which in 1908 Anna Jarvis's mother died. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made May 10 the official date for Mother's Day throughout the United States.Soon there was a Mother's Day International Association and the custom began to be adopted in many countries of the world.Anna Jarvis, a sad and disillusioned woman died in 1948. The custom she had worked so ha rd to establish and which had become almost universal had lost its original purpose. It had been taken over by business. As with Christmas, the giving of presents and the sending of cards had become a multi-million dollar industry.1．The story is about________.A．Mothering Sunday for ChristmasB．The origin of a special day for mothersC．President Wilson and Anna JarvisD．how people celebrate Mother's Day2．Hilaria was a festival in________.A．ancient Rome B．AmericaC．China D．the Christian Church3．Anna Jarvis wanted to________.A．thank her mother for her careB．introduce a celebratio n for mothersC．meet thousands of important peopleD．make her pupils celebrate her on Mother's Day4．May 10 became the date for Mother's Day because______.A．May is in the American springB．it was the second Sunday in May in 1910C．President Wilson liked the dateD．this was the date on which Anna Jarvis's mother died5．Unfortunately, Anna Jarvis was not happy with Mother's Day when she died because________.A．her mother was not there to see itB．she had never been a mother herselfC．people were too interested in making it a businessD．no one gave any presents or cards to their mothersBPumpkin carving is a popular part of modern America's Halloween celebration. In October, pumpkins can be seen everywhere in the country from outdoor steps to dinner tables.People have been making Jack O'Lanterns at Halloween for centuries. The tradition originated from an Irish myth about a man nicknamed “Stingy Jack”．According to the story, Stingy Jack invited the Devil to have a drink with him. True to his name, Stingy Jack didn't want to pay for his drink, so he convinced(使信服) theDevil to turn himself into a coin that Jack could use to buy their drinks. Once the Devil did this, Jack decided to keep the money and put it into his pocket next to a silver cross, which prevented the Devil from changing back into his original form.Jack eventually freed the Devil, under the condition that he would not bother Jack for one year and that if Jack died, he wouldn't claim his soul.The next year, Jack again tricked the Devil into climbing into a tree to pick a piece of fruit. While he was up in the tree, Jack carved a sign of the cross into the tree's bark(树皮), so that the Devil couldn't come down until he promised Jack not to bot her him for ten more years.Soon after this, Jack died. As the legend goes, God would not allow such an unsavory(令人讨厌的) figure into heaven. The Devil, upset by the tricks Jack had played on him, and keeping his words not to claim Jack's soul, wouldn't allow Jack in to hell. He sent Jack off into the dark night with only a piece of burning coal to light his way. Jack put the piece of coal into a carved-out turnip(芜菁) and has been roaming(徘徊) the earth with the “lantern” ev er since. The Irish began to refer to this ghostly figure as “Jack of the Lantern”，and then, simply “Jack O'Lantern”．6．In October, pumpkins can be seen everywhere in the country from outdoor steps to dinner tables because ________.A．people like to eat pumpkinsB．American grow a lot of pumpkinsC．pumpkins are beautiful decorationsD．pumpkins are popular th ings used to celebrate Halloween7．We learn from the passage that Jack was a(n) ______ man.A．clever B．lonelyC．greedy D．honest8．How did Jack play the first trick on the Devil?A．He invited the Devil to have a drink with him.B．He convinced the Devil to turn himself into a coin.C．He didn't want to pay for his drink.D．He freed the Devil at last.9．After Jack die d, ________.A．God didn't allow him into heaven because he was afraid of being tricked B．the Devil didn't allow him into hell because he didn't want to be tricked any more C．he was not admitted either to heaven or hellD．he preferred to roam the earth with a burning coal in a carved-out turnip lantern参考答案1. 答案：B主旨大意题。

人们的生活处于不停的变动之中，文化也随之而不断变化和发展。
不同文化的交流与碰撞带来文化的融合与冲突，历史学家汤因比发现这是人类文明兴衰的一个重要机制。
这一过程的结果是，文化自信随着社会生活的变迁而变化。
在生产力发展的驱动下，现代资本主义生产方式深刻改变了西方世界的经济社会结构，进而引发了文化的剧烈变革。
资本主义国家由于不断扩大市场的内在需求而推动了全球化进程，带来不同文化之间的激烈碰撞。
马克思、恩格斯观察到：“资产阶级，由于一切生产工具的迅速改进，由于交通的极其便利，把一切民族甚至最野蛮的民族都卷到文明中来了。
它的商品的低廉价格，是它用来摧毁一切万里长城、征服野蛮人最顽强的仇外心理的重炮。
它迫使一切民族在自己那里推行所谓的文明，即变成资产者。
”这种社会生产方式的变革推动了世界各国的文化震荡，引发了普遍的文化危机，人们在新的世界格局下重建自己的文化自信成为普遍问题。
文化认同危机冲击、瓦解了传统的文化自信，引发了人们对既有文化的反省性认识，在文化批判中形成了文化自信的发展机制。
一方面，作为社会意识的文化弥散于人们的日常生活和社会心理中，具有天然的传承性和保守性，由此也形成了走向僵化的可能性。
另一方面，文化也具有一种自我发展的潜能，作为一种能动的因素，它通过新思想的引入而吹响变革的号角，从而成为克服僵化机制进而维系社会系统活力的积极力量。
文化批判意味着以批判性的立场认识和对待自己，不是盲目地肯定或否定，而是在理性地反思与省察之上客观地予以认识和对待，它的对立面不是对象本身而是拒绝理性的思想方法，克服这种思想方法正是启蒙理性的要求。
康德将启蒙理解为脱离人加之于自己的“不成熟状态”。
所以，批判精神乃是实现精神成长的真实表现。
对于一个民族而言，这意味着文化的成熟，表现出该文化的理性自觉和现代意蕴。

Luxury consumption in China now extends ways beyond well－ knowncar, clothing and jewelry brands. For example, the luxury jet market in China is the fastest－ growingin the world, even outstripping that of the United States, with a market share of 25 percent. Thistrend appears to continue, with 20 to 30 percent growth expected in China, pared with only 2 to 3percent in the US. But more importantly,China's luxury jet market growth represents a majordevelopment in the private consumption of luxury items.China's high － quality red wine market also provides evidence of the growth in privateconsumption of luxury goods. In 2013, China became the largest market for red wine in the world,even overtaking France, with 1.86 billion bottles consumed in China last year. Over the past fiveyears, China's red wine consumption has grown 136 percent.According to my ongoing consumer research in this area while working at the University ofInternational Business and Economics in Beijing,public consumption of such expensive globalluxury brands such as Prada and Armani is easily explained by the desire to“ gain face ” a display social climbing through material possessions. On the other hand, it is“ self － reward” thatlies behind consumer motivation in this area. Chinese consumers who have experienced rapidfinancial and economic gains appear particularly prone to the need to reward themselves for theirsuccess. But this has little to do with“ gaining face” and impressing others and much more to do w the need for personal contentment.Finally, the growth in private luxury consumption in China is set to continue in part due to thematurity of the Chinese consumer and advancement of Chinese consumer culture generally.语篇解读：本文主要议论了中国豪侈花费不停增加的问题。

He also left footprints in the movie industry, winning an Oscar in 2018 with his short film Dear Basketball.He was also known as a proud family man. His friend, baseball star Derek Jeter. remembered him as such in an essay:“Throughout our friendship, the most meaningful conversations（对话）we had—they were always about family.”As the Los Angeles Times noted, Bryant's greatness was cemented（强化）by his skill., hard work and tireless pursuit（追求）of victory.

Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family---or maybe the last of nine?A study found that first-borns have an average(平均的)IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first-borns 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely (可能的)to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are generally more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article, “The power of Birth O rder." last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.Then there are the middle children: we have not ignored(忽视) them! Many middle children are short of one-on-one time with their parents. They often feelshort-changed: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is spoiled(宠坏的). Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults.Many factors(因素)make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors.11. Who is most likely to be a CEO?A. A first-born.B. A second-born.C. A third-born.D. A last-born.12. What can we learn about Jim Carrey?A. He was likely to be given low pay.B.

He didn't have food，water，a phone or other supplies．He was getting colder by the minute．Nicholas tried to calm down．He thought about all the survival (生存）shows he had watchedon TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use．He decided to stop skiing．There was abetter chance of someone finding him if he stayed where he was．The first thing he did was to findshelter from the freezing wind and snow．If he didn't，his body temperature would get very lowwhich could quickly kill him．Using his skis(滑雪板)，Nicholas built a snow cave(洞穴)．He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle．Then he piled branches on top of himself to stay as warm as he could．By that evening，Nicholas was really hungry．He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn't lose too much water. After that, Nicholas huddled（蜷缩）in his cave and slept．The next day，Nicholas went out to look for help，but he couldn't find anyone.

To stop their numbers from dropping further, Moullec tried to get the geese to follow him along migration ways that would protect（保护）them from bird hunters.However, getting grown geese to follow his lead proved challenging. Not oneto give up,Moullec decided to raise the geese from birth. Young birds Imitate（模仿）and follow whomever they see as their parent. Moullec said, "I am these birds’ father. They are in the house, and I sleep with them right from the first day. It's quite a tie, but then we can go on long journeys.”To help raise money to protect the geese, Moullec often allows paying tourists to join him on the 30-minute-long flights aboard his aircraft or a hot air balloon. Moullec believes the use of agricultural chemicals（农用化学品）has taken a heavy toll（毁坏）on wild European birds, with more than a third disappearing in the last 30 years. "It's a disaster.

Unit5 拓展阅读专项训练刷阅读理解A体裁：记叙文题材：个人经历词数：334 难度：中建议用时：7分钟[湖北武汉华师一附中2020高三调研]I believe in the power of science fiction，not only for its capacity to transform dreams into reality，but also for its power of bonding together those who share a common vision of the future. For me，that's true for my relationship with my dad. Some fathers and sons bond over sports，fishing or hunting，but my dad and I bond over Star Trek. We tried a trip to Walt Disney World，but one of my earliest memories wasn't Mickey，but a Klingon battle cruiser（战列巡洋舰）on the screen.Over the years，nearly every setting and situation has become far away for my dad and me. When it's warm at night，we're not driving along some dark streets in Indiana，but walking at slow speed with stars dimly shining. Both of us are thinking of them，without needing to say a word. All these visions of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me.Gene Roddenberry，creator of Star Trek，once said，"Science fiction is a way of thinking，a way of logic that bypasses（绕过）a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects.” A lifetime of science fiction has influenced more than just my relationship with my dad，but has also helped me shape my own hopes for the future. I'm now a science writer.Yes，science fiction has made me into a “swot（书呆子）”，but it also has been a source of joy for my family，making me an optimist while enabling me to think critically about the danger of technology.Thank those authors who have shared their visions；the world and my family are better for it. Thank my dad，who is both the best storyteller and the best man I have ever known because he helped me realise the truth of Tennyson's words, "For I dipped into the future, far as human eyes could see, saw the vision of the world, and all the wonders that would be.1. What is the special bond between the author and his father?A. Their similar dreams.B. Their love for each other.C. Their common interest.D. Their hatred for science.2. What does the author mainly show in Paragraph 2?A. His deep impression of his dad.B. His feeling of staying with his dad.C. His earliest memory of his dad.D. His good relationship with his dad.3. How does science fiction help the author at present?A. It leads him to pursue a desirable career.B. It brings him the courage to live better.C. It helps him sense the danger of technology.D. It makes him become a source of his family's joy.4. What may be the best title for the text?A. The Wonders of ScienceB. The Power of Science FictionC. The Visions of Science FictionD. The Time Spent Together With My FatherB体裁：说明文题材：文化遗迹词数：304难度：中建议用时：7分钟The Great Sphinx of Giza，Egypt，is one of civilisation's greatest mysteries. No one knows for sure exactly when，why or how it was built. It is an enormous sculpture，believed to be the biggest ever created. It measures about 241 feet（73.5 metres）long and 66 feet（20 metres）high. Due to its unknown origin，this massive creation has puzzled the locals，tourists，historians，and archaeologists for centuries.The Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a man，which gives it theappearance of a mythical（神话里的）creature. It remains mostly intact today，with the exception of its nose. Many legends surround the missing nose，but a widely accepted explanation is that a former ruler had the nose carved off at some point after its creation.Most archaeologists believe that the Sphinx was built about 4，600 years ago by a pharaoh（A），or a ruler, named Khafre. His pyramid, the giant tomb that holds Khafre's body, is located directly behind the Sphinx. Stone blocks cut off in order to carve the Sphinx's face were used to build the Khafre Valley Temple at about the same time. Some historians also believe the Sphinx's face was modelled after the face of Khafre.For most of its existence, the Sphinx was buried in sand. One story claims that around 1400 BC, the pharaoh Thutmose IV dreamt that the Sphinx ordered him to clear away the sand in return for the crown of Egypt. The sand soon buried the Sphinx again, however. In the 1850s, the sand was partially cleared, and in the 1930s, the Sphinx was completely exposed.Now, however, wind, humidity (湿热), and smog are causing the Sphinx to crumble. Archaeologists must act quickly to preserve this mysterious symbol of Egypt.1. Why is the Sphinx considered to be mysterious?A. It is the biggest sculpture ever made.B. Wind and smog didn't break it down.C. People know little about its origin and construction.D. It was buried in the sand for centuries.2. What does the underlined word "intact" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Complete.B. Magical.C. Mysterious.D. Confusing.3. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The history of Khafre's famous tomb.B. Khafre's great achievement in building the Sphinx.C. Documents recording Khafre's ruling of Egypt.D. Evidence supporting Khafre's building of the Sphinx.4. What does the author call on archaeologists to do in the last paragraph?A. Dig out the Sphinx completely.B. Take action to protect the Sphinx.C. Make the Sphinx the symbol of Egypt.D. Beautify the Sphinx to attract more tourists.刷7选5体裁：议论文题材：科学技术词数：282 难度：中建议用时：7分钟Cloning is defined as using the cells of one living human，plant or animal，to create another duplicate（复制的）one. A cloned subject will be the same as its parent. This technology could be useful for laboratory studies and for creating satisfying animals. 1One of the biggest disadvantages of cloning is that the technology is still so uncertain. Dolly the sheep，the first mammalian clone，was born in 1996.While she was initially successful，she died young of a disease not normally seen in sheep of her age.2Losing gene diversity is another disadvantage of cloning. Gene diversity is what keeps an entire species from being wiped out by a singular virus. 3 If gene diversity is lost due to excessive cloning，there are no mutations to allow some of the cloned group to survive a newly introduced disease.Another of the disadvantages of cloning is that there are a lot of moral considerations that would cause most people to protest. 4 Another concern is the treatment of clones. Clones would have the same needs as non-clones of their species. Humane treatment guidelines would still apply.5 For example，imagine what a corrupt（腐败的）officer could do with cloning. There will always be someone looking to use cloning for their own personal use，and many feel that the best way to prevent this is not to pursue cloning at all.The disadvantages of cloning are seen by many to far outweigh any benefit that might be seen. Because of the risk involved in cloning，it is a technology that many experts say may be better left alone，at least until it is better understood.A. This is due to the lack of gene diversity.B. One of these ethical concerns is that cloning is unnatural.C. There is always a risk of cloning technology being abused.D. There are many advantages of cloning，for example，curing certain diseases.E. However，there are several disadvantages of cloning that should be considered.F. It helps to explain why some people naturally are taller，shorter，or more athletic than others.G. It is still unsure whether genetic mutations（突变）might occur when an animal is cloned.刷完形填空体裁：记叙文题材：人物故事词数：315难度：中建议用时：15分钟Sending an urgent message by a bottle would not typically be considered a sensible strategy.

初中英语模块五拓展阅读--为了运用而背诵
为了运用而背诵鲁子问在英语新课程实施过程中，一直有一种争论：学英语到底要不要背诵？新课程强调培养学生的综合语言运用能力，没有提出明确的背诵要求，也没有明确反对背诵。
但是，我们知道，背诵不是一种语言运用形式，所以，培养运用能力似乎是不需要背诵的。
这其实是对过程与结果的误解。
学生的语言运用能力是英语新课程的结果，要实现这一结果，过程是必不可少的，因此我们应该讨论的不是新课程要不要背诵，而是背诵能不能培养学生的英语运用能力。
我们知道，我们运用语言是从我们的大脑中提取相关语言信息，然后加以运用。
这就是说，运用语言的前提是在大脑里有相关语言信息的存储，语言信息要存储到我们的大脑里，显然需要记忆，反复诵读可以帮助记忆。
当然，这种背诵主要是记忆单词的背诵。
背诵单词我们要分清要求。
若这个单词的拼写形式是需要记忆的，我们就背诵拼写形式；这个单词的读音是需要记忆其的，我们就背诵其读音。
语篇的背诵本身就是一种语言运用形式。
背诵作为一种语言运用的过程活动，也存在一种的合理性。
我们在表演时，需要背诵台词，临场发挥不是表演的常态。
我们演说前，也可以背诵演说词。
我们参加辩论，可以提前背诵一些信息。
我们为了写作运用某些语句，可以事先背诵这些语句。
所以，背诵本身并不是问题，关键在于我们是否为了运用而背诵。
我曾经带学生背诵著名文学名著Tom Sawyer的开篇，因为我们要表演：“Tom.”There was no answer.“Tom.”Still no answer.“Where’s the boy gone? Tom”She looked under the bed but found only a cat.“If I catch that boy…” she muttered to herself.“Tom!” she shouted.学生不仅要背诵这段文字，而且要表演出来。
这就需要学生不仅背诵，而且声情并茂地表达。
学生通过这个背诵，不仅记住了语法结构、单词，更加深了对语言运用（包括结构、语词、语音语调等）的理解。
