Unit 2 Language一、阅读理解。When a child is told he is “uncool”,it can be very painful.He may say he doesnt care,and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose.But these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending its not there. Helping a child feel better in school has to be careful.If you say,“Why are you worried about what other children think about you?It doesnt matter!” Children know that it does matter.Instead,an active way may be best.You could say,“Im going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.” If a boy is having trouble making friends,the teacher can help him.The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects.This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him.A teacher can also raise a childs popularity in the group by showing that he values that child.It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child,or let him be a partner with that child in activities,etc. There are things that parents can do at home,too.Be friendly when your child brings others home to play.Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider “super”.When you plan trips,picnics,movies,and other shows,invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends. What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out.Then,if he has good qualities,he can start to build real friendship of his own.1.A child who has been informed of being “uncool” may_.A.care nothing about itB.do something uncool on purposeC.develop a sense of angerD.pretend to get hurt very much2.A teacher can help an unpopular child by_.A.seeing the child as the teachers favoriteB.asking the child to do something for partnersC.forcing other children to make friends with the childD.offering the child chances to show his good qualities3.How can parents help their child fit in better?A.By cooking delicious food for him.B.By being kind to his schoolmates.C.By forcing him to invite friends home.D.By taking him to have picnics in the park.4.The text is mainly about_.A.how an unpopular child can be helpedB.why some children are unpopularC.what good qualities unpopular children haveD.who care about unpopular children参考答案： 1.B; 2.D; 3.B; 4.A解析： 1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知,当一个孩子被告知他不酷的时候,他可能会说他不在乎甚至会故意做出不酷的行为来。2.D 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects.”可知,老师可以安排这个孩子做一些事情,这样他有机会运用他的能力为班级做贡献。3.B 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“Be friendly when your child brings others home to play.”可知,当孩子带其他同学回家玩的时候,父母一定要友好。4.A 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了父母和老师怎样帮助一个不酷的孩子交到朋友。二、单项选择1.As we all know, the English language _ the grammar and vocabulary that people from different countries and cultures brought to Britain.A. consists of B. is consisted ofC. makes up of D. makes up【答案】A2.The Google project has caused excitement in Hollywood because film studios are searching for new revenues to _DVD sales, which are in steep decline.

Here, three pieces of advice are for them.Listen but dont be silentThe world is held in students hand via smart phones. Thus, they may consider lecture listening less important. 1 It forces students to face the difficulties of training a deep attentiveness. Unsurprisingly, students find it hard to speak out, ask questions or for points of clarification. They dont want to appear foolish or incapable. However, there is no such thing as a foolish question. Teachers are there to help you understand. This also goes for seminars and workshops. 2 Read and buy books 3 Therere so many useful online sources today, but the habit of reading books, especially whole books, is something being lost. Buy your own books. There are many bargains to be found on used-book websites or through Amazon. Being a book lover and buyer will help any student get the most out of their education. 4 As a student, you dont just have to learn to listen and bee an active reader: you also have to bee an academic writer. Written work at college level cannot be done at the last minute or in a rush. It takes time. Turn to your teachers. If they will read draft essays then make sure you can get feedback(反馈)ahead of the final submission. 5 Students who get feedback on their work always do better than those who do not. It is one of the few educational laws that holds true in all cases.A. Dont try to do it all the night before.B. However, a lecture is a listening workout.C. Thinking clearly cannot be done in a rush.D. So train your ear, listen carefully, but dont be silent.E. Reading is the most important thing that any student does.F. Re-writing has proved to be the turning point in ones degree.G. If they wont read drafts, then see them to run through your ideas.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了大学一年级新生如何适应大学生活。1.B 【解析】考查上下文衔接。根据前文Thus, they may consider lecture listening less important.（因此，他们可能认为听讲座不重要）与B项(然而一个讲座就是一次听力训练)在此相衔接，故选B。2.D 【解析】考查上下文衔接。根据前文This also goes for seminars and workshops. （这需要到研讨班）与D项（仔细听训练你的听力，但不要沉默）衔接，故选D。3.E 【解析】考查语篇逻辑。本段的主旨是Read and buy books（阅读和购买书），而E项（阅读对学生来说很重要）符合逻辑，故选E。5.G 【解析】考查语篇逻辑。前文If they will read draft essays then make sure you can get feedback(反馈)ahead of the final submission.（如果他们阅读了草稿就能确保在你上交前得到反馈）与 G项（如果他们没有阅读草稿，看他们理解你的观点）形成并列符合逻辑，故选G。
