2020高考一轮复习教材串讲必修2 Unit 1 Cultural relics练习Ⅰ.阅读理解ACities usually have a good reason for being where they are,like a nearby port or river.People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade.New York City,for example,is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River.Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million.But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time.Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight.In 1896,Dawson,Canada,was unmapped wilderness(荒野).But gold was discovered there in 1897,and two years later,it was one of the largest cities in the West,with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris.People went there for gold.They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers.The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning.An avalanche(雪崩)once closed the path,killing 63 people.For many who made it to Dawson,however,the rewards were worth the difficult trip.Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold,4,000 got rich.About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were,Dawson was never comfortable.Necessities like food and wood were very expensive.But soon,the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found.The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down,and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska,they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come.Today,people still come and go—to see where the Canadian gold rush happened.Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City—its present population is 762.1.What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A.Its business culture.B.Its small population.C.Its geographical position.D.Its favourable climate.2.What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A.Two-thirds of them stayed there.B.One out of five people got rich.C.Almost everyone gave up.D.Half of them died.3.What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A.They found the city too crowded.B.They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C.They were unable to stand the winter.D.They were short of food.4.What is the text mainly about?A.The rise and fall of a city.B.The gold rush in Canada.C.Journeys into the wilderness.D.Tourism in Dawson.BIf you are planning on travelling,there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.First of all,always check and double-check departure time.It is amazing how few people really do this carefully.Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten.My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50.When I arrived at the airport,the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed.Therefore,I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards,it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency with you when you arrive in a country.This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit.A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa,Oklahoma.I flew there from London via Dallas,with very little time to change planes in between.I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed.The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars,I offered to pay in pounds instead.“Listen!I only takereal money!” The driver said angrily.Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel,but it was very embarrassing.The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave.I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May,when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester,to places like Athens,Rome or Madrid,where it is already beginning to get warm during the day.5.According to the passage,it’s obvious that .A.the author learns some rules of travelling from his own experienceB.the author doesn’t plan his trips or journeys carefullyC.Englishmen like to wear heavy suits wherever they travelD.the American taxi driver never travels to England6.What does the underlined word “there” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.London.B.Manchester.C.Tulsa.D.Dallas.7.What can we learn from the passage?A.People should choose warm places as their travel destinations.B.People don’t have to take credit cards when traveling.C.One should know more about the weather of the place he’ll visit.D.One should take enough change when traveling to other countries.Ⅱ.七选五(安徽省江南十校二模)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Unit 1 Cultural relics***阅读理解We talk about people being “colourblind” but very few of us are.Even those who describe themselves as colourblind are normally just colour deficient.A strongly colourblind person will still be able to tell 20 different co lours，compared to the 100 or so that normalsighted people see.Pingelap，a tiny island in the Pacific，is a beautiful spot but one that has a genetic trouble.It is known as Colourblind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white.Not being able to see in colour is bad enough.But one islander，Herrol，who's a fisherman，also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burntout image.“I find it difficult to go outside in the sun，” he says，“because when it's sunny I cannot see to do my work.”But if being truly colourblind is rare，why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap live in a totally black and white world?Well，we know that in 1780 the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami(海啸)．As few as 20 people survived，one of whom was the king.It's believed he had a genetic fault that causes colourblindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations.There is one advantage.Herrol can see well，really well，in the dark.So when it gets dark，Herrol and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish.They hang up flaming torches and the flying fish are attracted to the flames.“This type of fishing is fun，” Herrol says，“especially if we catch plenty.So even though it's hard work we enjoy it.”1．What is Pingelap famous as?A．A tiny island.B．A beautiful island.C．A mentally troubled island.D．A colourblind island.2．What can we infer about Herrol?A．He may stay at home when it's sunny.B．He is interested in burntout i mages.C．He likes taking photos very much.D．He doesn't live in Pingelap any more.3．Why are about onetenth of people in Pingelap colourblind?A．Because Pingelap often suffers from tsunamis.B．Because the king had an unlucky marriage.C．Because the king's genetic fault played a role.D．Because the king made a serious mistake.4．What would be the best title for the text?A．The island of colourblindness.B．The disadvantage of Herrol.C．The history of Pingelap.D．The advantage of colourblindness.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了色盲岛——Pingelap岛，以及该岛上居民色盲的原因、情况等。

2020高考一轮复习教材串讲必修2 Unit 1 Cultural relics练习Ⅰ.阅读理解ACities usually have a good reason for being where they are,like a nearby port or river.People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade.New York City,for example,is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River.Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million.But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time.Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight.In 1896,Dawson,Canada,was unmapped wilderness(荒野).But gold was discovered there in 1897,and two years later,it was one of the largest cities in the West,with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris.People went there for gold.They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers.The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning.An avalanche(雪崩)once closed the path,killing 63 people.For many who made it to Dawson,however,the rewards were worth the difficult trip.Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold,4,000 got rich.About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were,Dawson was never comfortable.Necessities like food and wood were very expensive.But soon,the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found.The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down,and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska,they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come.Today,people still come and go—to see where the Canadian gold rush happened.Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City—its present population is 762.1.What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A.Its business culture.B.Its small population.C.Its geographical position.D.Its favourable climate.2.What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A.Two-thirds of them stayed there.B.One out of five people got rich.C.Almost everyone gave up.D.Half of them died.3.What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A.They found the city too crowded.B.They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C.They were unable to stand the winter.D.They were short of food.4.What is the text mainly about?A.The rise and fall of a city.B.The gold rush in Canada.C.Journeys into the wilderness.D.Tourism in Dawson.BIf you are planning on travelling,there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.First of all,always check and double-check departure time.It is amazing how few people really do this carefully.Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten.My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50.When I arrived at the airport,the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed.Therefore,I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards,it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency with you when you arrive in a country.This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit.A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa,Oklahoma.I flew there from London via Dallas,with very little time to change planes in between.I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed.The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars,I offered to pay in pounds instead.“Listen!I only take real money!” The driver said angrily.Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel,but it was very embarrassing.The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave.I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May,when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester,to places like Athens,Rome or Madrid,where it is already beginning to get warm during the day.5.According to the passage,it’s obvious that .A.the author learns some rules of travelling from his own experienceB.the author doesn’t plan his trips or journeys carefullyC.Englishmen like to wear heavy suits wherever they travelD.the American taxi driver never travels to England6.What does the underlined word “there” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.London.B.Manchester.C.Tulsa.D.Dallas.7.What can we learn from the passage?A.People should choose warm places as their travel destinations.B.People don’t have to take credit cards when traveling.C.One should know more about the weather of the place he’ll visit.D.One should take enough change when traveling to other countries.Ⅱ.七选五(安徽省江南十校二模)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

第一部分必修二Unit 1Ⅰ.阅读理解A导学号 01830246 Who would have thought that potato fries could unite an entire country? Well, that seems to be the case in Belgium where there is currently a movement to have Belgian potato fries officially recognized as cultural heritage.The fries are served in a paper cone(圆锥体) from a “fritkot”，which is a shack(小屋)or a food truck. Across Belgium, there are at least 5,000 fritkots which is 10 times more common than McDonald's restaurants in the United States.The movement for the fries to be declared official cultural heritage was started by UNAFRI, also known as the national association of fritkot owners. They claim that their establishments represent Belgium very well. “A cone of potato chips is Belgium in miniature(微模型). What's amazing is that this way of thinking is the same, in spite of differences among communities and regions，” added spokesman Bernard Lefevre.Tourists can even be seen to line up with locals in Brussels to buy a cone of fries from well-known fritkots such as Frit Flagey and Maison Antoine. “Before I came here, the only thing I knew about Belgium was that they liked their fries，” said Rachael Webb, a tourist from Ottowa, Canada.In order to be recognized by UNESCO, it has to be formally supported by the Belgian government of culture.As of right now, UNESCO has a list of 314 items of “cultural heritage” that they say is worthy enough to be preserved. Items on the list include Turkish coffee and the old native singing of the Central African Republic.Potatoes reached Belgium in the 16th century, but it wasn't until the 19th century that they were cut up into fries and sold as a meal.文章大意：比利时人正在努力为自己国家的炸薯条申请成为“文化遗产”。

emotionalcontrol is the standard，such as Japan，the focus is placedon the eyes to interpret emotions.Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed，such as the United States，the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotions.“These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized，” said University of Alberta researcher Dr.Takahiko Masuda.”A person’s culture plays a very strong role in determ ining how he will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpreting the facial expressions.”These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons(情感符号)，which are used to convey a writer’s emotions by email and text message.The Japa nese emotions for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn ，while the American emotions vary with the direction of the mouth.In the United States theemoticons∶)and∶) show a happy face，whereas the emoticons∶(and∶(show a sad face.However，the Japanese tend to use the symbol (‘‘) to indicate a happy face，and (；；) to indicate a sad face.“We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that culture tends to mask its emotions.The Japanese would focus on a person’s eyes when detecting hi s or her emotions，as eyes tend to be quite subtle(微妙的)，”said Masuda.“In the United States，where an open emotion is quite common，it makes sense to focus on the mouth，which is the most expressive feature on a person’s face.”36．The text mainly tells us that ________.A．cultural differences are expressed in emotionsB．culture is a key to interpreting facial emotionsC．different emoticons are preferred in different culturesD．people from different cultures express emotions differently37．Which emoticon is used by Americans to show a happy face?A．(；；)

facial expressions of basic emotionsD．people all over the world understood basic emotions in the same way40．The computer emoticons used by Americans show that________.A．they express their feelings

Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·成都高中毕业班测试)“Hungary？”I looked at my school headmaster in confusion.“I never mentioned wanting to go to Hungary.”And with that，my adventure started.My name is Jonathan Diamond and I just finished an amazing school exchange year in Hungary.Going on an exchange had always been my dream.When my high school offered an allyear program，I jumped at the opportunity.It would pay for almost everything and all I had to do was buy a plane ticket.I knew where I wanted to go：Spain，the country of dancers wearing flowing red dresses.So when I heard that I was going to Hungary，I was pretty shocked.But I decided to make the best of it，since it was，after all，a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity.Before I knew it，I was on the airplane，leaving for Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport，Hungary.I had difficult times when I almost gave up.Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet.Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peers and me.I had to give up eating carrots，my beautiful favorite，for Hungarians think carrots are rubbish in their country.The change in the landscape was amazing，looking nothing like skyscrapers，bullet trains，cars，and people in tiny houses that I had been accustomed to.Gradually，I fell inlove with the relaxing lifestyle，the warmhearted people，and getting home at 2：30 p．m.at the latest from school.And I was sad to leave on my very last day.Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I’ve ever experienced.From my little sisters，I learned how to embrace life to its fullest.From my brothers I learned that it’s OK for a boy to run around the house.From my host parents I learned to stay positive，to smile and that when you pick the right people and take their hands，suddenly，you become friends.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述作者作为一个交换生在国外学习的经历和感受。

explores with her father on a snowy night.She longs for this special night.And she’s amazed when she sees an owl.Have you felt longing before?Amazement?Well,if you have,it helps you have a sense of agreement.When we can put ourselves inside a story we can understand it better.Our brain tells us,“Oh,this girl’s eine.” And boom!We can relate to her.But this skill is not born in us.So young kids have to learn it.Pictures and images help young readers to understand and recognize feelings.Readers feel joy when seeing the smiling faces of friends.They feel fear when turning the page to find a scary monster.They are just pictures,but the feelings are real.This skill,to understand the thinking and feeling of others,is what researchers call “theory of mind”.For example,think about the faces of people and animals in stories.TheBigBadWolf’s scary teeth.The ‘o’ shape of a surprised c haracter’s mouth.Or big,wide eyes like the girl in OwlMoon.By noticing the faces,readers can start to figure out what it feels like to be that character.And that helps to figure out how people feel and think in real life.But most young readers don’t go in to deep,scary woods.And some may not go to the beach or play basketball.In the book Yo!Yes? two kids meet and play ball.The kids start the story on opposite pages.But as the story goes on,they get closer until they are together.Some young readers might not play basketball,but they can read the clues on the page to figure out how the kids are feeling.And some readers might not like the game,but they can feel excited for the characters because of how the characters look and move.12.What can we learn from the second paragraph?A.OwlMoon talks about the eoon.B.The feeling of “amazement” is a sense of agreement.C.Readers are blessed with the ability to interpret others.D.Readers with similar experience understand the story better.13.Which of the following might help readers develop “theory of mind”?A.True feelings.B.Smiling faces.C.Picture books.D.Reading skills.14.Young readers can go deeper into a story by .A.tracking the plotB.developing new skillsC.sharing similar hobbiesD.analyzing the background15.What is the text mainly about?A.How thinking influences reading.B.How readers improve reading skills.C.How emotions help enhance reading.D.How kids figure out the clues of stories.Ⅱ.阅读七选五Imagine yourself in a small airplane 3,300 meters above the ground.The engines roar in your ears as you move towards the open door.Then you’re outside,falling with the wind whipping past your ears.As the ground rushes up at you,you open your parachute(降落伞). 1 All in all,you are in free fall for only 30 seconds—the longest 30 seconds of your life.2 However,a growing number of adventurers are taking the risk.Obviously skydiving isn’t something you can just try,like fishing or bowling.So,if you want to attempt the sport,you’ll need to go to ground school.3 The course is taught by licensed skydiving instructors who have been jumping for years.They’ll teach you how to keep your body position stable.You’ll also learn to be constantly aware of your altitude and,most importantly,when to open your parachute.Once you’re through with ground school,it’s time to get up in the air. 4 Two instructors always jump with the person,ready to pull the student’s parachute open if he or she freezes up.5 It certainly seems dangerous when someone is falling at 50km/hr.But,if you believe the statistics,skydiving is actually safer than driving,with one fatality(死亡) occurring in appropers.Moreover,most enthusiasts agree all fear stops thesecond your feet leave the plane,and when you land,the only thought in your mind is,“Wow!I want to do that again!”A.However,a new jumper never jumps alone.B.It takes years to forget the taste of fear from skydiving.C.No doubt,you’re thinking skydiving is a dangerous sport.D.It explodes over your head,pulling you back and upwards.E.For most of us,skydiving is something we only see in the movies.F.Ground school is where you learn to jump,without leaving the ground.G.Skydiving is the sport of jumping out of an airplane and falling freely through the air.高考题型·组合规范练4必修第二册UNIT1

必修一 Unit 2课下语篇提能练Ⅰ.阅读理解A cycling session at Queen Mary homeless women's hostel (收容所) in London starts.Eleven women discuss what they're hoping to achieve in today's session.Then they push their bikes to a basketball court to practise in an offroad environment.Supported by instructors, they practise riding by themselves.Sometimes these women feel a little tired because they take medicine, but they have all made up their mind for cycling training.Last year Queen Mary approached Sustrans (a charity) to set up a cycling club for women.Many of them have low levels of fitness.All have survived challenging situations ranging from social isolation (孤立) to abusive (虐待的) relationships.The hostel staff, who are experienced mental health experts, try to develop cycling to build the women's confidence and give them access to other fields of society.The hostel is moving away from traditional treatment of mental health with the belief that cycling could be a really useful tool in helping the women live on their own.After the success of a 10week pilot project, the cycling club receivedfinancial support of ￡10,000 to continue the club.In modern society, homelessness and mental health problems often go hand in hand.Studies have shown that physical activities, including walking and cycling, can be used to overcome and even prevent stress, depression and anxiety.They can be more effective than medical treatments.Women, however, are less likely than men to take part in physical activities.Women in the UK make nearly three times fewer cycling journeys than men.Two main causes of this are traditional barriers —mostly because women still undertake most household tasks — and fear of judgment.The network of bike routes has been expanded yet the “build it and they will come” approach ignores the fact that not all people start from the same point.Social interventions (干预) are a useful way to achieve equality of access to cycling.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

必修二 Unit 1课下语篇提能练Ⅰ.阅读理解Asking for help is a sign of strength rather than weakness.In American culture, the independent individual is seen as their ideal.As the University of Missouri at St.Louis states on its website under the heading Key American Valu es, “Americans have been trained since very early in their lives to consider themselves as separate individuals who are responsible for their own situations in life and their own destinies.” The value also makes them think they can do everything themselves, and makes them feel badly about asking for help when they need it.And when it comes to work situations, when they think about asking for help there, sometimes they fear that a request for help would make them look inept.While this has always been true for men, many women in the workplace have felt the need to try twice as hard as their male colleagues and do twice as much to get just as far and to prove their worth.Sometimes when we think about asking for help, our inner voices tell us, “See, if you admi t you can’t do this on your own, they’ll see you for the imposter (骗子) you really are.”But the fact is, even though individualism is on the rise, we can’t do everything by ourselves and we shouldn’t try.Apple founder Steve Jobs once told the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association about the power of asking for help, and how he “never found anybody who didn’t want to help me when I asked them for help”．He said, at the age of 12, he called Bill Hewlett, co-founder of Hewlett-Packard, on the phone after getting his number from the phone book and asking him for spare parts so he could build a frequency counter (计频器)．And Hewlett agreed and offered young Jobs a summer job assembling frequency counters.“If you’re afraid of failing, you won’t get very far，” Jobs said.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。
