高中英语(人教版)选修八Unit 1 A land of diversity reading课时作业2
Unit 1 A land of diversity reading课时作业请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ASome years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera.During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen…At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful.I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don't live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.1．Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ________．A．observing her school routine B．expressing her satisfactionC．impressing her classmates D．preserving her history2．What caused a change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary?A．A dull night on the journey.B．The beauty of the great valley.C．A striking quotation from a book.D．Her concerns for future generations.3．What does the author put in her diary now?A．Notes and beautiful pictures.B．Special thoughts and feelings.C．Detailed accounts of daily activities.D．Descriptions of unforgettable events.BWe've reached a strange—some would say unusual—point.While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight.It's the good life that's more likely to kill us these days.Worse, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight.What's going on?We really don't have many excuses for our weight problems.The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by publichealth campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through—up to a point.In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause.Not any more.A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body.That has become a sort of fashion.No wonder it ranks as the world's most body-conscious country.We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another matter.By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise.More than half of us admit we lack willpower.Others blame good food.They say: it's just too inviting and it makes them overeat.Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food.Some also blame their parents—their genes.But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they're normal in shape, or rather slim.It's a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight.Parents are eager to see their kids shape up.Do as I say—not as I do.4．What is the “strange”point mentioned in the first sentence?A．The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.B．Starvation is taking more people's lives in the world.C．WHO report shows people's unawareness of food safety.D．Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO's efforts.5．Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?A．A lot of effective diet pills are available.B．Body image has nothing to do with good food.C．They have been made fully aware of its dangers.D．There are too many overweight people in the world.6．The example of Finland is used to illustrate ________．A．the cause of heart disease B．the fashion of body shapingC．the effectiveness of a campaign D．the history of a bodyconscious country 7．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Actions or Excuses? B．Overweight or Underweight?C．WHO in a Dilemma D．No Longer Dying of HungerCJaguar(美洲虎) was very rare. It was said that there less than 20 jaguars in the world, one of which was living in the national zoo of Peru. In order to help this jaguar, Peruvians set up a zoo for it, where there were sheep and deer for the jaguar to eat. However, strange enough, no one had ever seen the jaguar hunt the deer and sheep. What they could see was its lying in its cave, sleeping and eating the meat provided by the zoo keepers.At first, people thought that the jaguar felt too lonely, so they found a female tiger to accompany it. However, it did not make too much sense. The jaguar just sometimes went out of its cave with its “girlfriend” for a while before it came back to its house again' It is normal for the jaguar to be lazy here. Tiger is the king of forest but you simply put some small animals around him. That is why the jaguar shows no interest in going out' a visitor said. So people put five wolves into the jaguar's zoo. Since then, the jaguar did not go back to its cave any more . It either stands on top of the hill yelling or runs up and down the hill without sleeping all day long .Actually, one creature without any rivals is a lifeless creature. If a man lives without rivals, he is likely to be satisfied with the present and will not fight for the better. He will hold back before all difficulties. Hard environment tends to make successful people. Therefore, we need some rivals to push us to go ahead in all difficulties and competitions in our lives. Due to our rivals, we can bring out our potential to the best. Due to our rivals, we will continuously improve our abilities when competing with them!8.Why did Peruvians set up a zoo for the jaguar?A. To protect this endangered animal.B. To entertain people.C. To satisfy people's curiosity.D. To do some experiments.9.That the jaguar always lying in its cave leaves people an impression that __________.A. it must be treated badlyB. it must be seriously sickC. it must miss the forestD. it needs to be accompanied10. What happened to the jaguar after it got five wolves around?A. The jaguar remained the same.B. The jaguar became very energetic.C. The jaguar lost his girlfriend.D. The jaguar got mad finally.11.What does the underlined word "rivals" in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Colleagues.B. Followers.C. Competitors.D. Relatives.DA woman came out of her house and saw three old men sitting in her front yard. She said, "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.""Is the man of the house home?” they asked. "No", she replied, "He's out." "Then we cannot come in", they replied.In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. "Go to tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go into a house together," they replied. "Why is that?" she asked.One of the old men explained that their names were Wealth(财富), Success and Love. Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed and he suggested inviting Wealth to fill their home with wealth. And his wife wanted to invite Success; but their daughter-in-law suggested they should invite Love so that their home would be filled with love. At last the husband said to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our guest."The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."Love got up and started walking toward the house.The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!"12. The best title for this passage would be __________.A. A Woman and Three MenB. Wealth, Success and LoveC.

在我的印象里，他一直努力而自知，每天从食堂吃饭后，他总是习惯性地回到办公室看厚厚的专业书不断提升和充实自己，他的身上有九零后少见的沉稳。同事们恭喜他，大多看 到了他的前程似锦，却很少有人懂得他曾经付出过什么。就像说的：“如果这世上真有奇迹，那只是努力的另一个名字，生命中最难的阶段，不是没有人懂你，而是你不懂自已。” 而他的奇迹，是努力给了挑选的机会。伊索寓言中，饥饿的狐狸想找一些可口的食物，但只找到了一个酸柠檬，它说，这只柠檬是甜的，正是我想吃的。这种只能得到柠檬，就说 柠檬是甜的自我安慰现象被称为：“甜柠檬效应”。一如很多人不甘平庸，却又大多安于现状，大多原因是不知该如何改变。看时，每个人都能从角色中看到自已。高冷孤独的安 迪，独立纠结的樊胜美，乐观自强的邱莹莹，文静内敛的关睢尔，古怪精灵的曲筱绡。她们努力地在城市里打拼，拥有幸或不幸。但她依然保持学习的习惯，这样无论什么事她都 有最准确的判断和认知；樊胜美虽然虚荣自私，但她努力做一个好HR，换了新工作后也是拼命争取业绩；小蚯蚓虽没有高学历，却为了多卖几包咖啡绞尽脑汁；关睢尔每一次出镜 几乎都是在房间里戴着耳机听课，处理文件；就连那个嬉皮的曲筱潇也会在新年之际为了一单生意飞到境外……其实她们有很多路可以走：嫁人，啃老，安于现状。但每个人都像 个负重的蜗牛一样缓缓前行，为了心中那丁点儿理想拼命努力。今天的努力或许不能决定明天的未来，但至少可以为明天积累，否则哪来那么多的厚积薄发和大器晚成？身边经常 有人抱怨生活不幸福，上司太刁，同事太蛮，公司格局又不大，但却不想改变。还说：“改变干嘛？这个年龄了谁还能再看书考试，混一天是一天吧。”一个“混”字就解释了他 的生活态度。前几天我联系一位朋友，质问为什么好久不联系我？她说自已每天累的像一条狗，我问她为什么那么拼？她笑：“如果不努力我就活得像一条狗了。”恩，新换的上 司，海归，虽然她有了磨合几任领导的经验，但这个给她带来了压力。她的英语不好，有时批阅文件全是大段大段的英文，她心里很怄火，埋怨好好的中国人，出了几天国门弄得 自己像个洋鬼子似的。上司也不舒服，流露出了嫌弃她的意思，甚至在一次交待完工作后建议她是否要调一个合适的部门？她的脸红到了脖子，想着自己怎么也算是老员工，由她 羞辱？两个人很不愉快。但她有一股子倔劲，不服输，将近40岁的人了，开始拿出发狠的学习态度，报了个英语培训班。回家后捧着英文书死啃，每天要求上中学的女儿和自己英 语对话，连看电影也是英文版的。功夫不负有心人，当听力渐渐能跟得上上司的语速，并流利回复，又拿出漂亮的英文版方案，新上司看她的眼光也从挑剔变柔和，某天悄悄放了 几本英文书在她桌上，心里突然发现上司并没那么讨厌。心态好了，她才发现新上司的优秀，自从她来了后，部门业绩翻了又翻，奖金也拿到手软，自己也感觉痛快。她说：这个 社会很功利，但也很公平。别人的傲慢一定有理由，如果想和平共处，需要同等的段位，而这个段位，自己可能需要更多精力，但唯有不断付出，才有可能和优秀的人比肩而立。 人为什么要努力？一位长者告诉我：“适者生存。”这个社会讲究适者生存，优胜劣汰。虽然也有潜规则，有套路和看不见的沟沟坎坎，但一直努力的人总会守得云开见月明。有 些人明明很成功了，但还是很拼。比如剧中的安迪，她光环笼罩，商场大鳄是她的男闺蜜，不离左右，富二代待她小心呵护，视若明珠，加上她走路带风，职场攻势凌历，优秀得 让身边人仰视。这样优秀的人，不管多忙，每天都要抽出两个小时来学习。她的学习不是目的，而是能量，能让未来的自己比过去更好一些。现实生活中，努力真的重要，它能改 变一个人的成长轨迹，甚至决定人生成败。有一句鸡汤：不着急，你想要的，岁月都会给你。其实，岁月只能给你风尘满面，而希望，唯有努力才能得到！9、懂得如何避开问题的 人，胜过知道怎样解决问题的人。在这个世界上，不知道怎么办的时候，就选择学习，也许是最佳选择。胜出者往往不是能力而是观念！在家里看到的永远是家，走出去看到的才 是世界。把钱放在眼前，看到的永远是钱，把钱放在有用的地方，看到的是金钱的世界。给人金钱是下策，给人能力是中策，给人观念是上策。财富买不来好观念，好观念能换来 亿万财富。世界上最大的市场，是在人的脑海里！要用行动控制情绪，不要让情绪控制行动；要让心灵启迪智慧，不能让耳朵支配心灵。人与人之间的差别，主要差在两耳之间的 那块地方！人无远虑，必有近忧。人好的时候要找一条备胎，人不好的时候要找一条退路；人得意的时候要找一条退路，人失意的时候要找一条出路！孩子贫穷是与父母的有一定 的关系，因为他小的时候，父母没给他足够正确的人生观。家长的观念是孩子人生的起跑线！有什么信念，就选择什么态度；有什么态度，就会有什么行为；有什么行为，就产生 什么结果。要想结果变得好，必须选择好的信念。播下一个行动，收获一种习惯；播下一种习惯，收获一种性格；播下一种性格，收获一种命运。思想会变成语言，语言会变成行
