Uint 12 Culture Shock 課時練1　閱讀理解提速練 閱讀理解 A (2018合肥高三教學質(zhì)量檢測)If you have the opportunity to visit some places in New Zealand, then the list below is our remendation. Fiordland National Park This park is part of the South Westland World Heritage Area and is New Zealand’s largest national park and one of the largest in the world. The scenery in Fiordland is nothing short of extremely beautiful, with steep mountains, wild waterfalls, and abundant rain forests. Being able to e back and forth in its deep bay attracts most of the visitors. The area has some of the world’s greatest walks including the world famous Milford Track, which was described as the finest walk in the world in the early twentieth century. Abel Tasman National Park Abel Tasman may be New Zealand’s smallest national park, but the attractions are huge. Located in one of New Zealand’s sunniest spots, the area also has the best beaches in the country. The popular Abel Tasman Walk is a great way to see this park. It takes 3－5 days to plete. Sea taxis are also available and can drop you off at any number of beaches within the park. Rotorua Accessible from New Zealand’s biggest city, Auckland, Rotorua is famous for its volcanic activities. Rotorua is also famous for its plentiful lakes which are great for swimming and fishing. The surrounding area contains plenty of native bushes and some famous walks. Rotorua is also the best area in the country to experience and learn about Maori culture. Mt Cook National Park Mt Cook as well as the surrounding area is an alpine(高山的) park within the World Heritage listed in South Westland. The biggest peaks in all of Australasia are here. The park doesn’t contain many trees or plants due to the altitude. Walks range from a twohour walk to difficult tracks suitable for experienced mountaineers only. A helicopter or plane ride gives visitors excellent views of the mountains with the option of landing at the top of Tasman Glacier, a true permanent snowcovered alpine environment. 【解題導語】　本文是一篇應用文，主要介紹了新西蘭值得游玩的幾個地方。 1．The most impressive experience in Fiordland National Park may be________． A．rock climbs　　　　 B．forest camps C．water jumps D．boat trips D　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)Fiordland National Park部分第一段尾句“Being able to e back and forth in its deep bay attracts most of the visitors.”可知，能夠在它的深海灣里來回穿梭會吸引大多數(shù)的游客；據(jù)此可以判斷，在Fiordland國家公園，令人印象最深刻的經(jīng)歷是乘船旅行，故D項正確。 2．If you are interested in folk customs, you can go to visit________． A．Fiordland National Park B．Rotorua C．Mt Cook National Park D．Abel Tasman National Park B　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Rotorua部分第二段“Rotorua is also the best area in the country to experience and learn about Maori culture.”可知，Rotorua也是全國最好的學習毛利文化的地方；如果你對民間風俗感興趣，可以去那里，故B項正確。 3．If you go to visit Mt Cook National Park, you can________． A．view some amazing waterfalls B．enjoy some tropical fruits C．step on the top of Tasman Glacier D．take walks in various bushes C　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一句可知，乘坐一架直升機或飛機并選擇在Tasman Glacier頂部著陸，可以讓游客欣賞到山區(qū)的美景，Tasman Glacier是真正的永久積雪覆蓋的高山環(huán)境。據(jù)此可知，如果去Mt Cook國家公園，你可以登到Tasman Glacier頂部，故C項正確。 B (2018河南實驗中學模擬)The police in Taiwan are unable to judge whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of stealing or an even cleverer cheat. Either way, it could be the perfect crime, because the criminals are birds—homing pigeons! The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car: If you want the car back, pay up. Then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off. There have been at least four such pigeon pick－ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay－at－h(huán)ome car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind—one that avoids not only collecting money but also going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has pulled a double trick: He gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car－owner to place an ad in the newspaper asking for help. The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded—under 3，000 Taiwan dollars—seems too little for a car worth many times more. Demands for pigeon－delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do，” he said. 【解題導語】　本文介紹了一種新型的犯罪行為。臺灣的警察無法斷定這到底是聰明的盜竊行為還是更加聰明的詐騙行為，因為罪犯是信鴿。 4．After the car－owner received a phone call, he________． A．went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carried B．gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a park C．sent some money to the thief by mail D．told the press about it A　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的Then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside.可知，車主接到電話后，他會被指示去某個公園找到鳥籠，把錢系到鳥籠內(nèi)鴿子的脖子上。故選A項。 5．The writer mentions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show________． A．how easily people get fooled by criminals B．what Chen thinks might be correct C．the thief is extremely clever D．the money paid is too little B　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段中的He gets money for things he cannot possibly return.可知，警察認為那些丟車的人根本不可能拿回他的車。故選B項。 6．The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to____________． A．criminals B．pigeons C．the stolen cars D．demands for money D　解析：詞義猜測題。上文提到一旦報紙報道了這件事，這樣的事情就沒有了。由此可知they就是指代上文提到的Demands for pigeon－delivered money。故選D項。 7．We may infer that the criminal knows how to reach the car－owners because____________． A．he reads the ads in the newspaper B．he lives in the same neighborhood C．he has seen the car－owners in the park D．he has trained the pigeons to follow them A　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段最后一句．.. waits for the car－owner to place an ad in the newspaper asking for help.可知，罪犯看了報紙上的廣告然后找到丟車的人。故選A項。 C (2018湖南部分重點中學考前演練)I’m sometimes told, “You have to make your own luck. If you don’t try something, how can you succeed？” This is very true for petitions. There are people who regularly take part in all sorts of petitions with great enthusiasm. These people are nicknamed pers. The motivation for being a per is obvious：it’s about being a winner and being rewarded with a prize. These prizes can be small or large：from a box of chocolates to a new car, a trip of a lifetime around the world, or even a new house. Isn’t that worth peting for? Of course petitions that offer money prizes attract entry from millions of people, making the odds of winning very unlikely. But one man who has been lucky is a retired lecturer from the U．K. called Martin Dove. He is a serial per and has managed to bag prizes such as a yacht and a racehorse. Martin says：“I’ve been a per for 40 years. It’s like admitting some addiction, isn’t it？” He gets respect from other pers and also admits，“Some people have called me the Master of ping, the King of ping, the Guru of ping. But it’s just a word, just a phrase. It’s just because I frequently appeared in the media.” For many, winning remains a dream, but they continue to try their luck as there’s always a small chance that they might succeed. But what if you do win? Then you have to ask：how am I going to spend all that money? Some people say that “money can’t buy you happiness”. What do you think? 【解題導語】　本文是一篇說明文，闡述了一種社會現(xiàn)象：有些人總是熱衷于參加各種形式的比賽活動，目的就是獲獎。你是否有過類似的經(jīng)歷呢？ 8．What does the author mean by “This is very true for petitions.”？ A．petitions bring people luck. B．One must be in a petition to win it. C．Trying gets people to succeed. D．People naturally pete with each other. B　解析：推理判斷題。This指的應是前面的“If you don’t try something, how can you succeed？”，再結(jié)合第二段提到的人們參加比賽贏獎可知，此處指的是對于比賽來說，一個人必須先參與進去然后才有可能贏得比賽，故選B。 9．Who are pers? A．Those always standing out in petitions. B．Those addicted to entering petitions. C．Those often entering petitions for prizes. D．Those peting for others’ recognition. C　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“There are people who regularly take part in all sorts of petitions...it’s about being a winner and being rewarded with a prize.”可知，pers指的是那些頻繁地參加比賽以獲取獎品的人。故選C。 10．What does the underlined word “odds” probably mean? A．Possibility.　　　　　　　 B．Investment. C．Importance. D．Advantage. A　解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在句“Of course petitions that offer money prizes attract entry from millions of people，making the odds of winning very unlikely.”并結(jié)合常識可知，比賽的獎金是有限的，而參賽的人越多，獲獎的概率就越小。由此可知，odds的意思是“概率，可能性”。故選A。 11．What do Martin’s words suggest? A．Any job can offer opportunities. B．He has attracted considerable attention. C．Persistence is the key to his success. D．He has set a good example to others. B　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的最后兩句及第四段的內(nèi)容可知，Martin經(jīng)常參加比賽，而且得到了一些大獎并贏得了其他參賽者的尊重，甚至一些人稱其為“參賽大師”、“參賽大王”、“參賽專家”。由此可知，Martin得到了廣泛的關注。故選B。 D (2018湖北部分重點中學新高三起點考試)“It’s a big hammer to crack a nut.”This is how one angry parent described the recent crackdown(嚴厲的打擊) by London police on parents who drop their kids off at school by car. Yes，you read that correctly—the very mode of transportation that many American schools insist is the only safe way to deliver kids to school is now considered illegal in the U．K. The decision to fine any vehicles seen dropping off or picking up kids within a particular zone of east London es from city councilors’(議員) longterm efforts to make the area safer and less crowded. They say they’ve been trying for years “to encourage reasonable parking”，but in vain. Neighborhood residents plain frequently about their driveways being blocked by illegally parked cars for 15 minutes or more，often while they’re trying to get to work，and the streets are long overcrowded. Now the rules have changed.Some parents are angry. Angie is a mother who made the “big hammer”ment and says the crackdown is “way over the top”．The nearest dropoff point for her sixyearold is now a fiveminute walk from the school. Others are happy with the decision，severe though it may seem. Councilor Jason Frost said: “Traffic has been clearly reduced，and more children are now walking to school，which is a great oute.I would rather have plaints that we are slightly inconveniencing parents than hear that a child had been seriously injured because nothing was done.” I witness daily the chaos(混亂) created by these intown drivers，when I walk my own kids to school. There’s a parking lot crowded with vehicles and a slowmoving train of cars moving in circles，many filling the air with harmful smoke. Meanwhile，the conversations around overweight children and the importance of daily physical activities continue to stand out in schools. 【解題導語】　本文講述倫敦自實行在學校門口嚴禁停車這一做法以來的變化。 12．Why is Angie opposed to the new rule? A．She is often fined by London police. B．She will lose her job as a school driver. C．She has adapted to the American practice. D．She thinks it adds inconvenience to her kid. D　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“The nearest dropoff point for her sixyearold is now a fiveminute walk from the school.”可知，對于她6歲的孩子來說，最近的下車點離學校有五分鐘的步行路程，據(jù)此可推知，Angie認為不能在校門口停車給孩子帶來不便。所以選項D正確。 13．Why has the new rule been made according to Jason Frost? A．On account of many plaints. B．Because of students’health problem. C．Owing to safety concern. D．Due to air pollution. C　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“l(fā)ongterm efforts to make the area safer and less crowded”以及第四段最后一句可知，選項C的表述“Owing to safety concern.”是正確的。 14．What can be seen after the crackdown is carried out? A．Less daily chaos. B．Support from all people. C．More overweight children. D．plaints from neighbors. A　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“Traffic has been clearly reduced，and more children are now walking to school，which is a great oute.”可知，車輛已經(jīng)明顯減少，許多孩子正在步行上學，日?；靵y的場景越來越少，這是最大的結(jié)果，所以選項A正確。 15．What is the main idea of the text? A．Parents attempt to resist a school rule. B．London police cause widespread anger. C．American schools care more about kids’safety. D．Different voices are heard on a new traffic policy. D　解析：主旨大意題。根據(jù)全文可知，倫敦學校門口家長停車造成安全事故和交通堵塞，因此議員提議對這一現(xiàn)象進行制止，由此引發(fā)家長的議論。因此選項D符合題意。 七選五 (2018南昌模擬)Your first step toward healthy living is to get a handle on your health status right now. Here’s your to－do list： Assess your activity. How much physical activity do you get in a typical week? 1.________？ How much variety do you get in your activity, and how much do you enjoy it? The CDC remends that adults get at least two and a half hours per week of moderate－intensity aerobic activity or one hour and 15 minutes per week of vigorous－intensity aerobic activity, plus muscle－strengthening activity at least two days per week. Keep a food diary. Write down everything you eat for a day—and no fair skipping the items you’re embarrassed about. “2.________，” says Kathianne Sellers Williams, MEd, RD, a nutritionist, wellness coach, and personal trainer with Cafe Physique in Atlanta. “You can’t change what you’re not aware of or don’t acknowledge.” Check your mood and energy. Healthy living includes emotional wellness and adequate rest. How has your mood been lately? 3.________？ Do you usually sleep well for seven to eight hours a night? 4．________. How strong are your connections with family and friends? Are you plugged into social or spiritual groups that enrich your life? “People have a fundamental need for positive and lasting relationships，” C. Nathan DeWall, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Kentucky, tells WebMD. If you’re not thrilled with the answers to some of those questions, remember that the point is to figure out where you are today so you can set your healthy living goals. It’s not about being “good” or “bad”，“right”or“wrong”. 5.________. A．How intense is that activity B．Consider your social network C．The idea is to write it down without judgment D．It’s time to learn something about the social apps E．It’s OK if you leave out some items in your food diary F．It is the awareness of your own state of health that matters G．Are you experiencing any symptoms of depression or anxiety 【解題導語】　本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了掌握自身健康狀況的方法。 1．A　解析：根據(jù)該段主題句“Assess your activity.”以及關鍵詞activity可知A項與此處匹配。A項與“How much physical activity do you get in a typical week？”及“How much variety do you get in your activity, and how much do you enjoy it？”為并列問句。 2．C　解析：根據(jù)空前的“Write down everything you eat for a day—and no fair skipping the items you’re embarrassed about.”可知，空處應講的是不做評判地記下一天要吃的食物。所以C項正確。 3．G　解析：空前一句“How has your mood been lately？”中的關鍵詞mood與G項中的“any symptoms of depression or anxiety”相呼應；G項與空后的“Do you usually sleep well for seven to eight hours a night？”為并列問句。 4．B　解析：根據(jù)空后的“How strong are your connections with family and friends? Are you plugged into social or spiritual groups that enrich your life？”和“People have a fundamental need for positive and lasting relationships”可知，本段主要講述的是要有社交活動，B項中的“social network”與此呼應。所以選B。 5．F　解析：根據(jù)空前的“It’s not about being ‘good’or‘bad’，‘right’or‘wrong’．”可知，選F項“意識到你自身的健康狀況是很重要的”。
