Unit 1 Section Ⅲ Developing ideas & Presenting ideas(Word练习)-【精讲精练】2024-2025学年高中英语选择性必修第一册（外研版）

Ⅰ.阅读理解 A I arrived in my Chinese classroom，ready to share my vast knowledge and experience with the 75 students who would be my English Literature class.Having taught in the USA for 17 years，I had no worry at all about my ability to plant in my students enthusiasm for the literature of my mother tongue. I was really shocked when the monitor shouted “Stand up” and the entire class rose as I entered the room，and I was somewhat confused and anxious about how to get them to sit down again，but once that embarrassment was over，I quickly calmed down and launched into what I thought was a fact­packed lecture，sure to gain their respect—perhaps even their admiration.I went back to my room radiating that rosy glow(光泽) that comes from a sense of significant accomplishment. My students kept journals，however，and as I read them，the rosy glow was gradually replaced by an overwhelming sense of frustration.The first journal said，“Our literature teacher didn't teach us anything today.Perhaps her next lecture will be better.” Heart broken，I read journal after journal，each expressing a similar theme.“Didn't teach them anything？I sketched the entire philosophical framework of thought and laid the historical background for all the works we'll study in class.” I complained，“How can they say I didn't teach them anything？” Determined to clear myself，I dug out all my reference books，adding background material to my next lecture，researching into the sociological setting and even the psychological state of the author.After the second class，I eagerly opened the journals，expecting enthusiastic reviews at last.Again，I was crushed by their continuing comments that I was going too slowly without giving meaningful details. More determined than ever，I dived into sources of criticism，deciding to devote more time to the texts by providing summaries of all the interpretations I could find of each work.This material would give my students ample information for drawing their own conclusions about the work's meaning，“Our teacher seems confused about the real meaning of the works，” the journals said.“One minute she gives one interpretation；the next minute she gives another.Then she asks for our opinions.We're the students.She's the teacher.She should tell us what the works mean.” It was a long semester，and it gradually became clear to me that my ideas about education were purely Western，and that Chinese ideas differed significantly.I thought a teacher's job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions.My students thought a teacher's job was to provide accurate information as directly and concisely as possible.Americans wanted to interpret and experience.The Chinese wanted to master and memorize. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章以轻松幽默的笔调讲述了“我”第一次来中国教书的“不幸”经历，生动形象地展现了中国与西方在教育内容、思维方式上的巨大差异。 1．How did the writer feel before she began her teaching in China? A．Worried.　　　　　 B．Confident. C．Disappointed. D．Confused. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一段中最后一句可知，我一点都不担心自己的能力，相信自己能够培养学生对我的母语文学充满热情。因此作者在来中国教学之前，心中充满了自信，故选B。 2．What might be the reason why the writer was shocked when the monitor shouted “Stand up”？ A．The students intended to scare their new foreign teacher. B．The students refused to stand up before their new foreign teacher. C．The writer was a little shy and felt embarrassed when she entered the classroom. D．The writer didn't know much about the Chinese classroom and that was totally unexpected. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段中第一句可知，当我走进教室班长大喊“起立”时，我真的很震惊，我对如何让他们再次坐下感到困惑和焦虑。由此可判断出，“我”真的很震惊的原因是“我”不了解中国的教育文化，故选D。 3．What does the writer mean by saying “Determined to clear myself” in Paragraph 4? A．She wanted to better understand the students' question. B．She wanted to prove her ability in teaching the course. C．She was a little bit angry with the students. D．She was very disappointed with herself. 解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据上文中“How can they say I didn't teach them anything？”可知，学生认为老师没有教什么有用的东西，作者产生了挫败感； 根据画线词下一句可知，我找到所有的参考书，为下一次课程添加了背景材料，研究了社会学背景甚至心理状态。这是在讲述我为下一节课所做的精心准备，因此可以猜测出画线部分的意思是“我决心把自己的能力证明给学生看”。故选B。 4．Which of the following might the writer agree with? A．Chinese and Western ideas about education are slightly different. B．A teacher's job is to make students think and have their own opinions. C．Teaching is to provide accurate information directly and clearly. D．Both Americans and the Chinese tend to draw conclusions by themselves. 解析：选B　推理判断题。由最后一段中第二句可知，我认为老师的工作是提出有趣的问题并提供足够的背景知识，以便学生得出自己的结论。因此，作者认为老师的工作是让学生思考并得出自己的结论。故选B。 B There's one easy thing you can do every day to live longer and happier，according to a recent study，and it has nothing to do with diet，exercise，or cutting out bad habits. A review of nearly 150 studies with more than 300,000 participants found that having active social circles decreases your chances of dying by 50 percent，regardless of age，gender or medical history.“When we're social，we live longer，” Dr.Kelli Harding noted.“Loneliness is more of a risk factor to health than other known risk factors，like high blood pressure and obesity.” The findings are written up in Dr.Harding's new book，The Rabbit Effect，which is about how kindness，rather than laughter，may be the best medicine.The book gets its title from a famous 1978 study of the relationship between cholesterol(胆固醇) and heart health in rabbits.Researchers accidentally discovered that those rabbits that received the most affection from their human handlers lived much longer than the others. We live in a world where most of our social interactions happen through our phones.But to get the health benefits of a more active social circle，you don't have to throw away your device and join a book club.More casual interactions with neighbours，shop owners，and others you meet every day can do the trick.Increasingly，those relationships can start online.That's where Nextdoor comes in.The stated purpose of the company is “to cultivate a kinder world where everyone has a neighbourhood they can depend on”． When asked for advice on one thing you can do to live longer and happier，Dr.Harding said it perfectly，“Be kind.It's actually pretty amazing how much each person can make the world a better，kinder，healthier place.It really takes very little and you never know the impact you have on somebody.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，孤独比高血压、肥胖等对人的健康危害更大，而积极的社交活动能延长人的寿命。本文还介绍了成为友善的人能让人活得更久、更快乐。 5．What do we know about The Rabbit Effect? A．Its title comes from a study. B．It's a report about heart health. C．Laughter could cure diseases. D．Rabbits could help live longer. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，《兔子效应》这本书的书名来自1978年所做的一项关于兔子体内胆固醇和心脏健康的关系的研究。 6．What's the purpose of Nextdoor? A．To advocate online shopping to save time. B．To offer the neighbourhood sports facilities. C．To settle the arguments among the families. D．To create a harmonious community to rely on. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第四段尾句可知，Nextdoor的目的是建立一个更友善的世界，在那里每个人都有一个可以依靠的社区。 7．What does the underlined phrase “do the trick” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Improve health and wellness. B．Set up online relationships. C．Build a happy and warm family. D．Keep away from bad habits. 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据第四段第二句可知，为了从一个比较积极的社交圈中得到健康，你不用扔掉你的设备，加入一个书友会；结合第三句可知，和邻居、商店店主以及你每天遇到的人较随意的互动可以改善健康。 8．What can be inferred from Dr.Harding's words in the last paragraph? A．We can look for a kind neighbourhood. B．We should be kind to animals in the wild. C．Every small act of kindness can make a difference. D．All kinds of social activities can make a better world. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据尾段Dr.Harding所说的话可知，Dr.Harding告诫人们要善良，他认为每个人都能让世界变得更美好、更友善、更健康，而且只需要付出很少；你永远不知道你对某个人的影响。据此可以推知，每一个小的善举都会有作用。 Ⅱ.完形填空 I was standing across the lady in the laundry(洗衣店)．I got angry as I thought she had 1 my pants.The woman stated 2 that I hadn't dropped my pants there. “Can't you just check to 3 if there are some blue pants lying around somewhere？” I asked.She said that I didn't bring any pants 4 she always double checked people's orders.She went to try one more time and I thought about the last time I had seen them.When she 5 empty­handed，I suddenly had a(n) 6 .“Hold on a second，” I said nervously.“I need to 7 my wife.” I asked my wife to look in the drawer(抽屉) where I usually collect the dirty clothes.Then I 8 until my wife got back on the phone.“Yeah，you’ve got some blue pants in here，” she said.
