【B层 能力练】
Ⅲ.阅读理解
Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them.
There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on.
Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately, older persons often form habits which could have been avoided(避免).
We should keep away from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.
1. are formed little by little.
A.Good habits
B.Bad habits
C.Both good habits and bad habits
D.Either good habits or bad habits
2.The underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refers to .
A.bad habits B.good habits
C.children D.other persons
3.Generally speaking, it’s difficult for one and easy for them which should be avoided.
A.to form bad habits; to form good habits
B.to form good habits; to form bad habits
C.to form such habits as will be good; to get rid of bad habits
D.to get rid of bad habits; to form good habits
4.Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?
A.Because habits are of great help to every one of us.
B.Because a man can never get rid of a habit.
C.Because it’s hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits.
D.Because we are forced to do them again and again.
Ⅳ.任务型阅读
I remember when I was growing up, my mum always said, “3.Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others.” It’s so true. Friends allow us to enjoy the taste of our success and our joys and comfort us in our challenging moments. They provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. I’ve always looked on friends as family members. They enrich our lives. As Robert Steven once said, “A friend is a present which you give yourself.”
To be a good friend, it’s important to be a good listener. Hear what your friend says first rather than making conclusions(结论)quickly. Sometimes it is useful to repeat their words back to them. It can help them to realize whether their words were what they wanted to say.
Patience is also important in being a good friend. You know the old golden rule, “Care for others the way you would like them to care for you.” The support of a friend during a difficult time could make the difference between success and failure. 4.Encouragement and confidence are the best gifts that can change a person’s life.
We should choose our friends carefully, because they can have a huge effect on our life. As someone told me, “The attitudes of your friends are like the button (按钮)on a lift. They will either take you up or down. ”
(一)请根据短文内容,简要回答下列问题。
1.Is patience important in being a good friend?
Yes,it is.
2.Why should we choose our friends carefully?
Because they can have a huge effect on our life.
(二)请把短文中画线的句子译成汉语。
3.做事情有一半的乐趣是和别人分享。
4.鼓励和自信是改变一个人的生活的最好的礼物。
(三)请给短文拟一个恰当的英文标题。
5.How to be a good friend

单元语篇提升练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023·烟台期中)
On March 3, 1887, the lives of two amazing women were changed forever when Anne Sullivan, a poor university graduate, arrived at the home of the wealthy Keller family to teach their six-year-old daughter Helen. It was a difficult job as Helen was unable to see, hear or speak because of illness.
Anne had been suggested to the Kellers by her university professor, a close friend of Mr Keller. Before she arrived, Anne expected her new pupil to be a quiet, weak child. But Helen was nothing like that. When Anne first walked through the Kellers’ door, the energetic Helen nearly knocked her over in her hurry to feel Anne’s face, clothing and bag.
Helen was used to visitors bringing her sweets, and angrily tried to open Anne’s case to take her candy. But Anne calmed her down by allowing Helen to play with her watch. So began one of the most successful student-teacher relationships in history.
Anne Sullivan was only twenty years old when she began teaching Helen. She had to not only teach the child all the usual school subjects, but also control Helen’s sometimes wild behavior.
Her well-meaning parents allowed Helen to do as she liked at home. Realizing that such an environment was unsuitable for learning, Anne requested that she and Helen live in a small house nearby.
