UNIT 1 Section Ⅵ Writing Workshop to Check Your Progress(Word练习)-【精讲精练】2024-2025学年高中英语选择性必修第一册（北师大版2019）

Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Sometimes，when Mr Ballmer and his 16­year­old daughter，Elizabeth，listen to rock music together and talk about pop culture，he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager. “I would never have said to my mom，‘Hey，the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it？’” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.” Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations，earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits(轨道). Today，the generation gap has not disappeared，but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as pop culture and sex would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent­child activities，from shopping to sports，involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood. But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “There's still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there，but there is a change happening，” says Kerrie，a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change，there is a lot of confusion among parents.” Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic(民主的) process that encourages everyone to have a say. “It's not something easily accomplished by parents these days，because life is more difficult to understand or deal with，but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now，” explains Mr Ballmer. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了随着时代的变化，父母和孩子之间的代沟虽然依然存在，但是已经明显减小了。 1．What does the underlined word “gulf” mean in the first paragraph? A．Difference.　　　 B．Argument. C．Balance. D．Achievement. 解析　A　词义猜测题。第一段的“There was just a complete gap in taste.”提到父母和子女之间有品位上的差距；下文列举了服装、发型、活动和期望等方面的差距。说明音乐品味不是唯一的差距，gulf与gap同义，都是“差距”的意思。故选A。 2．What is the change in today's parent­child relationship? A．There is less parent­child activities. B．There is more respect for parents from children. C．There is a new equality between parents and children. D．There is more strictness and authority on the part of parents. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句以及第三段的第一句可知，当今的亲子关系中，存在一种新的平等。故选C。 3．Which word best describes Kerrie's attitude to the change of the parent­child relationship? A．Interested. B．Supportive. C．Indifferent. D．Concerned. 解析　D　观点态度题。根据第三段Kerrie说的话可知，Kerrie对亲子关系的变化有些担心。故选D。 4．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To describe the difficulties today's parents have met with. B．To discuss the development of the parent­child relationship. C．To suggest the ways to handle the parent­child relationship. D．To solve the problem of the parent­child relationship. 解析　B　写作意图题。根据第二段首句和第三段尾句以及第四段首句可知，文章的目的是要探讨亲子关系的发展变化。故选B。 B The words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens because some animals are in danger of dying out.But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch. Florida，US，has held its first bear hunt since 1994.The local government gave people nearly 4000 permits to kill black bears.And more than 200 were killed on Oct.24. Animal protection groups protested this decision.But local officials explained that the black bear population had grown to 3500 and become a menace to local people.In the past two years，bears have hurt at least four people in Florida. This brings an old question back into the spotlight—which is more important，protecting animals or protecting people's interests? This question is asked in other countries too.In Switzerland，a wolf was sentenced to death by the Swiss government months ago.This is because the wolf killed 38 sheep and local people lost a lot of money.Days ago in China，three old men were arrested for killing a serow (鬣羚)，a protected species.But they insisted they didn't know about this and killed the animal because it ruined their crops. However，these stories don't always mean that animal protection stops due to human interests，especially involving economic development.A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin，Guangxi.He saved over 170 tigers and 300 bears.But his base also offered jobs to local people. “There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development，” said Robert May，a British biologist at Oxford University.“But we shouldn't push either one to the side，as the future is hanging in the balance.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。介绍了不少国家为了人类的利益而猎杀野生动物的行为，生物学家认为我们应该兼顾动物保护和人类发展。 5．What does the underlined word “menace” in the third paragraph mean? A．Danger.　　　　　 B．Chance. C．Relief. D．Treasure. 解析　A　词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“In the past two years，bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.”可知，在过去两年里，熊在佛罗里达已经伤害了四个市民，此处是说熊的数量增多，已经成为人们的威胁，由此可知画线词词义为“威胁”，故选A。 6．What does the author intend to tell us by mentioning Zhou Weisen's story? A．Protecting animals needs hard work. B．Zhou was good at feeding wild animals. C．Zhou had a good relationship with local people. D．Protecting animals can bring economic development. 解析　D　推理判断题。根据第六段中的“However，these stories don't always mean that animal protection stops due to human interests，especially involving economic development.”可知，动物保护不会因为人类的利益，特别是经济发展而停止，再结合“But his base also offered jobs to local people.”可知，周伟森建立的野生动物基地为当地居民提供了就业机会，作者举周伟森的例子就是证明动物保护能够促进经济发展，故选D。 7．Which of the following statements might Robert May agree with? A．Human development should be considered first. B．We should pay more attention to animal protection. C．We should consider both the environment and human interests. D．It's difficult to find proper ways to solve environmental problems. 解析　C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development，”及“But we shouldn't push either one to the side，as the future is hanging in the balance.”可知，我们不应该把环境和人类发展中的任何一方推向另一方，Robert May认为要兼顾环境和人类的利益，故选C。 8．We can infer from the text that . A．animals always do no harm to people B．last bear hunt in Florida took place more than twenty years ago C．protecting animals is more important than protecting people's interest D．the three old men arrested in China days ago knew that the serow is a protected species 解析　B　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Florida，US，has held its first bear hunt since 1994.”可知，佛罗里达的上一次猎熊活动发生在1994年，距今已经有20多年了，故选B。 Ⅱ.完形填空 I'm a foreign English teacher at a school in Japan.
