Unit 4Sharing.阅读理解A(xx河南鹤壁高级中学9月周练)The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can bee like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secretespecially those that embarrass someone else.Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overe our disadvantages pletely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.1.Whats the function of the example in Paragraph 2?A.It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.B.It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.C.It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.D.It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.2.One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that .A.story-sharing highlights the importance of hard workB.people are used to exposing their weaknessesC.people sometimes have no courage to share their storiesD.some stories make themselves feel uneasy3.Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?A.Freed.B.Broken.C.Unfolded.D.Untouched.4.The writer aims to convince us to .A.be open to people close to you by sharing some secretsB.share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselvesC.remove the dangers that can be caused by untold storiesD.realize the importance of being honest when making friendsBConflict is on the menu tonight at the cafe La Chope.This evening,as on every Thursday night,psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of Frances favorite pastimes,coffee drinking and the“talking cure”.Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings.It isnt always easy.The customerssome thirty Parisians who pay just under $2(plus drinks)per sessionare quick to intellectualize(高谈阔论),slow to open up and connect.“You are forbidden to sayone feels,orpeople think,”Lehanne told them.“Say I think,Think me.”A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed?It couldnt seem more un-French.But Lehannes psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself:Its trying to help the citys troubled neighborhood cafes.Over the years,Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestylelonger working hours,a fast-food boom and a younger generations desire to spend more time at home.Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation.Cafes focused around psychology,history,and engineering are catching on,filling tables well into the evening.The citys“psychology cafes”,which offer great fort,are among the most popular places.Middle-aged homemakers,retirees,and the unemployed e to such cafes to talk about love,anger,and dreams with a psychologist.And they e to Lehannes group just to learn to say what they feel.“Theres a strong need in Paris for munication,”says Maurice Frisch,a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church.“People have few real friends.And they need to open up.”Lehanne says shed like to see psychology cafes all over France.“If people had normal lives,these cafes wouldnt exist,”she says.“If life werent a battle,people wouldnt need a special place just to speak.”But then,it wouldnt be France.5.What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A.Learn a new subject.B.Keep in touch with friends.C.Show off their knowledge.D.Express their true feelings.6.How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?A.They are less frequently visited.B.They stay open for longer hours.C.They have bigger night crowds.D.They start to serve fast food.7.What are theme cafes expected to do?A.Create more jobs.B.Supply better drinks.C.Save the cafe business.D.Serve the neighborhood.8.Why are psychology cafes being popular in Paris?A.They bring people true friendship.B.They give people spiritual support.C.They help people realize their dreams.D.They offer a platform for business links.语法填空(xx吉林长春高三一模)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。Jin Hanmiao, a first grader from China, received a reply letter from Buckingham Palace1 (recent) after writing to introduce the China-Britain express railway service.The letter is based2the 19-day journey of the first China-Britain freight(货运)train.3(see) the news of its return to Yiwu, Jins mother encouraged him to write about it and then send the letter to Queen Elizabeth.In his letter, Jin introduced4(he) and Yiwu, as well as his hope5the queen could appreciate the6(tradition) Chinese culture.

Yours,Liu Chao答案精解精析.阅读理解A语篇解读本文为议论文,论证了人们之间彼此分享自身经历的重要性。1.C推理判断题。文章第一段告诉读者分享经历很重要;第二段通过介绍新闻封锁的负面影响从反面说明不分享信息带来的麻烦。故选C。2.C细节理解题。根据第四段中的“they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share”可知,人们不愿和他人分享自己经历的原因是缺乏勇气。故选C。3.A词义猜测题。这里将被封锁的信息比作装在瓶子里的妖怪,一旦将瓶子打开,它们的破坏力就会被释放出来,可推断画线词语意为“释放,使自由”。故选A。 4.B推理判断题。通读全文尤其是第五段第二句和文章最后一句可知作者写这篇文章的目的是说服我们为了自己和他人应该分享自己的经历。B语篇解读心理学家Lehanne开设了一家主题咖啡店,在这里顾客可以敞开心扉,自由表达自己的真实情感。她希望把自己的咖啡店推广到整个法国,因为法国人需要这样的“心理咖啡店”。5.D细节理解题。根据第一段第三句Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings.以及本段最后一句Lehanne所说的话中“SayI think,Think me.”可以看出Lehanne鼓励来咖啡店的顾客表达自己的真实情感。故D项符合文章内容。6.A推理判断题。根据第二段中的Over the years,Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestylelonger working hours,a fast-food boom and a younger generations desire to spend more time at home.可知,这些年以来,巴黎的咖啡店都成为法国人的生活方式发生改变的受害者,如法国人工作时间变长,非常喜欢快餐,年轻一代更渴望待在家里面(而不愿去咖啡店)。故A项符合文章内容。7.C推理判断题。根据第二段倒数第二句Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation.可知,许多新的主题咖啡店的出现是为了改变法国咖啡店的现状,故C项正确。8.B推理判断题。最后一段指出中年家庭主妇、退休人员、失业人员会到这样的“心理咖啡店”向心理学家畅谈自己的爱情、愤怒和梦想,“心理咖啡店”会给他们巨大的安慰,因而是最受欢迎的地方之一。故B项符合文章意思。.语法填空语篇解读本文介绍了一位一年级的中国学生给英国伊丽莎白女王二世写了一封信,并收到回信的故事。1.recentlyrecently在句中作状语。 2.onbe based on根据,以为基础。 3.Seeing此处是分词作状语,see与主语之间是主动关系,故用现在分词作状语。 4.himself主语和宾语指同一个人时,宾语常用反身代词,因此此处用he的反身代词himself。5.that分析句子结构可知,设空处后面是同位语从句,并且从句中不缺少任何成分,故使用that引导。6.traditional根据句意可知此处表示“传统中国文化”,故用形容词traditional。7.latertwo months later两个月以后。8.was receivedreceive与主语letter之间是被动关系,根据短文时态判断用一般过去时,主语是第三人称单数,故答案为was received。9.anat an early age是固定搭配,表示“在很小的时候”,early的发音以元音音素开头,前面用不定冠词an。10.introduction由前面的形容词detailed可知,空格处应该用名词,故填introduction。.短文改错Dear Steven,Im glad that you are ing to Beijing this summer vacation.

Im looking forward to hearhearing from you as soon as possible. Yours,Liu Chao由于该词前是many,故该词要用复数形式。 由于city是可数名词,在本语篇中是第一次出现,故要在它前面用不定冠词a。由于该词前是情态动词can,故此处要用动词原形,故用find。分析句子可知,此处引导一个非限制性定语从句,先行词指物,故关系代词只能用which不能用that。根据语境可知,本文作者写信的对象是Steven,因此用的是第二人称,故把we改成you。这是一个there be句型,谓语动词的单复数要看主语a great number of tourist attractions,故此处要用复数形式。根据语境可知,长城、颐和园和紫禁城是并列关系,故用and。this修饰时间名词作状语时,前面不加in。该处应该用形容词来修饰名词time。look forward to doing sth.是固定搭配,to为介词,后接动名词作宾语。
