Unit 5 First aid.阅读理解(建议用时16)AThe other day, I noticed a message on a friends page. It made me very sad. She says she is the one who reaches out to people, but rarely do they reach out to her. So, after communicating with her for a while, I began to challenge my friends. “Contact someone right now. Send messages or call someone who you havent spoken to for a while, or who you only talk to when they message or call you. Let someone who may feel alone in the world right this moment know that they are not alone. That is my challenge to you. Please do it, and let me know once you have. Either by calling me back, or by sending me a message. Be the change that you want to see in the world.”The response was great. 28 people liked my post, and another 10 posted that they did, and I got about a dozen messages telling me that they did. And there was one very special message.“I just want you to know what has happened. That day, I sent a message to a friend who I hadnt heard from for a while. She and I talked for a whole day back and forth on messages and then on the phone. She said she was so incredibly sad. Nobody has spoken with her in two weeks. By the tone of her voice, and by the conversations we were having, I think she was about to take her own life(自杀). After our conversation, she has agreed to talk to someone. Your message of kindness has saved her. I cant wait to tell you how thankful I am for people like you in the world, who care when nobody else will. I am proud to call myself your friend. Thank you!”I didnt quite know what to say after reading the message. I was wondering how best to use it for greater good. I decided that sharing what we have done is the most powerful way. I know that I am a cheerleader when it comes to making the world a better place with kindness, because if I help someone, it makes me feel better. I do it because I need to feel better.篇章导读:本文为记叙文。文中讲述作者的朋友在网上发帖说她总是联系别人,但是很少有人联系她,这使作者非常伤心,于是她决定联系需要帮助的人。1What made the author unhappy?AShe cant reach out to anyone.BNo one responds to her friend.CNone of her friends contacts her.DShe has no time to visit her friends.答案:B细节理解题。根据第一段可知,作者的朋友发帖说她总是联系别人,但是很少有人联系她,这使作者非常伤心。故选B项。2What did the author challenge her friends to do?ATurn to their friends for help.BVisit their families and relatives.CContact someone in need of help.DShare their problems on their page.答案:C细节理解题。根据第一段可知,作者挑战她的朋友去主动联系别人,让此时可能感到孤单的人知道他们不是孤单的,也就是说主动联系需要帮助的人。故选C项。3What do we know about the special message?ASomeone was saved by her friend.BPeople were too busy to talk with others.CThe girl was sad because no one liked her.DThe author helped her friend by calling her.答案:A推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知,发帖人主动联系一个朋友,并与她交流很长时间,这次及时的网上沟通挽救了朋友的生命。故选A项。4Which word can best describe the author?ADetermined.BColdhearted.CStubborn.DInspiring.答案:D推理判断题。由文章的内容可知,作者非常有感召力,网上发帖鼓励自己的朋友联系别人,让孤独的人振作起来,而且最后一段中作者也说自己是一个振奋人心的人。故选D项。1challenge vt. 向挑战;对质疑2contact vt. 联络;联系3response n. 反应;响应4incredibly adv. 非常地,极端地;难以置信地5cheerleader n. 支持者;摇旗呐喊者1reach out (to sb.) 表示对某人感兴趣;表示愿意提供帮助2back and forth 来回地;一来一往地BSquare dancing is a form of entertainment and physical exercise, which is a good thing. However, a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby residents. The local court even served a summons (传票) related to a certain Ms Wang.The news soon caused heated discussion across China, with many believing the incident to involve a cultural conflict between the East and West, while others view it as a form of discrimination against Chinese in the United States.The United States is a diverse society, and in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated. Meanwhile, the United States is a society based on the rule of law, and due to cultural differences, local regulations seem to be very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem.Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place, they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum. People from different nations are often supposed to reach compromises, respecting and tolerating each other.Whatever your choice of entertainment, it is important not to affect other peoples lives. Square dancing is only one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior.As for US police practice, there might still be some room for improvement. Some were said to be rather rude, leading to the socalled “racial discrimination”, which is a sensitive topic in US society.If the involved parties could be more tolerant, and solve such problems without involving the court, perhaps immigrants would mix more.篇章导读:本文是一篇议论文。文中讲述了一群中国大妈在美国因跳广场舞而被诉至地方法院的事情。作者从中美两国文化差异的角度分析了出现这种事情的原因,并呼吁两国人们要多理解、包容和互相尊重,以促进两国文化的融合和交流。5The writer mentions the incident in Paragraph 1 to _.Ashow his opinionBmake complaintsCbring up the topicDcriticize the local police答案:C推理判断题。根据第一段讲述的内容,以及第二段及下文对该话题的讨论可知,答案为C(引出话题)。6The underlined word “tranquility” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by _.AentertainmentBquietnessCfreedomDquality答案:B词义猜测题。根据tranquility所在的句子中的“view such noise as a violation of their right”可以判断,答案是B(quietness)。7What will the senior Chinese ladies most probably do after the incident?AGo back to China.BFight for their right.

Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risktakers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. _2_ As the quality of risktaking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why arent we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risktaking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stayinthecave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. _3_No matter where you are on the riskseeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. _4_ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well._5_ For the riskseekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the science of riskseeking, well continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.AIt all depends on your character.BThose are the risks you should jump to take.CBeing better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.DThus, these wellequipped people survived because they were the fittest.EThis is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.FHowever, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.GNew brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.篇章导读:本文是一篇科普说明文。早期人类为了生存,需要冒险精神。这样人类喜欢冒险的精神就延续了下来,然而有一部分人不喜欢冒险。专家说这可能与我们大脑活动有关。1F上句提到值得冒险,而下句说有一些活动让一些人感到享受,却让另一些人害怕,故此处是说衡量风险和回报的标准不同。故选F项。2C上句提到冒险者更擅长捕猎等。C项中的“Being better at”是上句中的“were better at.”的复现。故选C项。3A由本段可知,人类形成了各种各样的性格类型。你可能喜欢某项冒险活动或者不喜欢。这都是取决于你的性格特点。最后一句总结本段得出主旨。4E上句提到:对冒险活动的热爱在青少年时期有所增长。设空处应该是对青少年时期性格特点的说明。故选E项。5G由下句中的“a part of the brain”可知选G,对下文进行总结。.语法填空(建议用时8)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。 As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old man _1_ was poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch stretched out in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it.Then I joined the line and waited _2_ (serve). There was a young man in front of me. He handed the waitress a twentydollar bill and requested a glass of orange juice as well _3_ a favour. The _4_ (puzzle) waitress looked at the young man, not _5_ (complete) understanding the request.The young man asked her to give the juice and the change to _6_ old man eating his lunch outside on the bench. The waitress said she _7_ (give) them to the old man as he had told her to. Afterwards, there was a wonderful exchange between the waitress and the old man in need of some attention. I only wish I had a photo _8_ (take) to record the smiles on both of their faces.As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered _9_ the young man didnt just perform this act of kindness _10_ (he). I suspect that it is because in his heart he hoped that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for this old man, too.1_2._3._4._5_6._7._8._9_10._篇章导读:本文讲述的是作者在一间咖啡店的经历,及自己对传递善举的思考。1who/that考查定语从句。从句中缺少主语,且先行词指人,故填who/that。2to be served考查非谓语动词。wait后应跟不定式作宾语,且serve与I之间为被动关系。3as考查介词。as well as “除之外还”。4puzzle
