03 Lesson 3 Your Life Is What You Make It Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练 1 A [广东东莞东华高级中学2024高一月考]My mother looks just like many grandmothers. She comes from a traditional family. She was a career civil servant. In short, she didn’t do crazy stuff. That all changed a few years ago. I still remember the year when she turned 80, she surprised my brother and me with what she described as “independence”. One day she informed us she’d booked a seven-night trip to Turkey. Alone. Because she had never been. Of course, that was ridiculous. There was no way my brother and I could allow that. A weak, little old lady wandering the streets of Istanbul on her own, not speaking a word of Turkish, with no knowledge of the laws and customs of the land—it was out of the question! 刷阅读理解 2 She paid no attention to us. Off she went. When she returned, she told us it had been a wonderful success. As it turned out, she had barely spent any time alone after hiring a taxi driver to show her around Istanbul for some days. He took her to all the sites—the markets, churches and restaurants. He introduced her to a blanket seller, “a lovely fellow,” and she bought some blankets. The seller took her address details and promised to ship the blankets home. The seller and my mother apparently built a friendship and she told him to drop by if he were ever in Canada. My mother beamed （眉开眼笑） as she told this story. To our great shock, her blankets did arrive some weeks later, along with a lovely note from the seller Mustafa. To our even greater surprise, the following year Mustafa himself arrived, and called our mother to inform her of that fact. 刷阅读理解 3 “He came by for a cup of tea. They drink a lot of tea in Turkey,” my mother told my horrified brother and me. Her characteristic of independence seems to be thoughtfully based on a realisation that life is to be lived. It reminded me of the line from the movie The Shawshank Redemption: “Get busy living or get busy dying.” 刷阅读理解 4 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述作者的母亲在80岁时独自进行土耳其之旅，告诉我们应该好好享受生活。 1.Why did the author’s mother go to Turkey alone?( ) B A.To make the author and the brother surprised.

Nowadays, most schools have given up shop class in favour of academic subjects. However, the National Science Foundation STEM Guitar Project thinks that academic subjects and carpentry （木匠活） can be combined. This organisation aims to get students excited about science, maths, and the arts all at once, by teaching students how to make a guitar. Experts forecast that technical skills like the ones used in making the guitars could be in great demand in the future. Unfortunately, many high schools don’t offer students access to mechanical design skills, due to the fact that they are not on the list of standardised subjects and the schools can’t scientifically assess students’ performance. But, is STEM really needed in order to build a guitar? Actually, it’s impossible to make a guitar without knowing science and maths. 刷阅读理解 10 Joshua Cruz, a design teacher, said that building a guitar also teaches troubleshooting and problem-solving skills. He thinks the STEM Guitar Project provides opportunities to challenge students to apply their own creativity to STEM problems. “I’m still figuring out how we can apply it,” Cruz explained. “I think we’re going to use a lot of the same theories behind how strings and stringed instruments work and try and get them to make stringed instruments of their own, and thus improve their academic performance.” Because of its effectiveness and creativity, the guitar initiative （倡议） was offered the Gerhard Salinger award, which recognises outstanding STEM school programmes. “Through this project, we have become part of this community of businessmen, engineers and artisans,” said Mark French, one of the six people who received the award for his work with the STEM guitar. “It’s a great group and I’m really pleased to be part of it. I get to combine something that I just love doing with an activity that really does make the world a little bit better place. It really does help people.” Thanks to people like Mark French, and to the STEM Guitar Project, the world is a little bit of a better, more educated, and more musical place. 刷阅读理解 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国国家科学基金会的STEM吉他项目，该项目旨在通过教学生如何制作吉他，让学生同时对科学、数学和艺术产生兴趣。 1.Why are mechanical design skills unavailable to high school students?( ) B A.Students are not excited about these skills. B.Students’ performance can’t be properly evaluated. C.They are not necessary for the students’ growth. D.They are of no help to students’ academic performance. 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的… due to the fact that they are not on the list of standardised subjects and the schools can’t scientifically assess students’ performance.可知，高中生没办法学习机械设计技能是由于机械设计技能不在标准化科目之列，学校无法科学地评估学生的表现，即学生的表现不能得到正确的评价。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 12 2.What benefit can students get from building a guitar?( ) D A.The ability to find faults with others. B.The skills of making a guitar independently. C.The opportunity to challenge scientific theories. D.The improvement of creativity and learning ability. 解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的building a guitar also teaches troubleshooting and problem-solving skills和He thinks the STEM Guitar Project provides opportunities to challenge students to apply their own creativity to STEM problems.以及thus improve their academic performance可知，制作吉他可以让学生们掌握排除故障和解决问题的技能，还能应用创造力，并提高学习成绩，即制作吉他可以提高学生的创造力和学习能力。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 13 3.What is Mark French’s attitude towards the STEM Guitar Project?( ) C A.Critical. B.Indifferent. C.Positive. D.Doubtful. 解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“It’s a great group and I’m really pleased to be part of it… It really does help people.”可知，马克·弗伦奇认为STEM吉他项目是一个很棒的项目，对人们很有帮助，所以他对于STEM吉他项目持肯定态度。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 14 4.What is the text mainly about?( ) D A.The combination of skills in a project. B.The award for the STEM Guitar Project. C.The STEM Guitar Project promotes music.
