UNIT 2 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 Confident, smart and high­tech，they're followers of pop culture and know what social networking is all about. They're tweens, children between the ages of 10 and 12. These young people are no longer little kids but they are not yet teenagers，because tweens are in a state of transition (转变). The tween years are hard for children. From a social point of view, tweens are dealing with quite a lot. They have to face changing relationships，middle school and a whole lot of pressure (压力) to succeed and fit in. They may become angry over seemingly small things. A bad test grade，an argument with a friend, a bad day on the ball field，or a request for cleaning a bedroom might set them off. Elizabeth Hartley­Brewer, a parenting expert in London and author of Talking to Tweens, says，“The tween years are when young people begin to realize the wider world and to see themselves as the ones separate from their families.” Right now, tweens' friends are everything to them. It's universal for the age, but they show it in different ways. For boys, the whole friendship thing is through technology and sports. Girls like to talk. Tweens are also a hot market. What do tweens consider cool? Music is at the top of the cool list，followed by going to the movies.“Being smart”comes third，tied to video games, followed by electronics, sports, fashion and protecting the environment, according to a report. Undoubtedly，tweens have great spending power in the United States. It was the tween market that made Harry Potter a household name. Retailers (零售商) know tweens are a hot market for clothes, music and entertainment. Tweens have their own sense of fashion and enjoy their own parts of popular culture.

D．Difficult. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第二段前三句“The tween years are hard for...to succeed and fit in.”可知，10至12岁这个年龄段对孩子们来说是艰难的，因为他们要处理的事情有很多，他们不得不面对不断改变的关系、中学以及成功和适应(周围环境)的巨大压力。difficult与文中的hard同义。 2．Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “set them off” in paragraph 2? A．Make them annoyed. B．Make them discouraged. C．Cause them to run away from home. D．Cause them to give up. 解析　A　词义猜测题。根据第二段倒数第二句“They may become angry over seemingly small things.”可知，10至12岁的少年可能因为某些看似小的事情生气。紧接着下文便举了一些例子。set sb off在此处表达的意思与angry相近，即“使某人生气”。 3．What can we know from the text? A．Tweens remain dependent on their parents. B．Friendship is very important in tweens' eyes. C．Retailers pay little attention to the tween market.

But even with such a powerful imagination，Liu,55，probably hadn't expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award，science fiction's highest prize，in 2015.Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three­Body Problem，nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC，he would win the 2018 Arthur C．Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society.It's the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award. In his acceptance speech，Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C．Clarke (1917—2008)，a famous UK sci­fi author.He said that reading Clarke's 1968 classic novel 2001：A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him. “My mind opened up like never before.I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea，” Liu said.“That night，in my eyes，the starry sky was completely different from the past.For the first time in my life，I was awed (使……敬畏) by the mystery of the universe.” But no matter how far away Liu's imagination takes him，somehow his novels always stay rational. In The Three­Body Problem，for example，Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth.But unlike other alien stories，Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations，rules of survival，and the meanings of life.And in The Wandering Earth，Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live.However，all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”．Liu's works aren't simply daydreams. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇人物传记。文章讲述的是刘慈欣的成就与写作风格。 5．What do we know about Liu Cixin? A．He became a full­time writer when he was young. B．He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood. C．He is the first Asian to win the Arthur C．Clarke Award. D．He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第二段中“But even with such a powerful imagination，Liu,55，probably hadn't expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award，science fiction's highest prize，in 2015.”可知，我们对Liu Cixin的了解是他是第一位获得雨果奖的中国人。故选D。 6．Liu Cixin's words are used mainly to show . A．his interest in mysteries of the universe B．his love of reading science fiction C．his confusion when he started writing D．his feeling after reading Clarke's work 解析　D　推理判断题。根据第四段“My mind opened up like never before.I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea，” Liu said.“That night，in my eyes，the starry sky was completely different from the past.For the first time in my life，I was awed (使……敬畏) by the mystery of the universe.”可知，Liu Cixin的话主要是表达在阅读克拉克的作品后自己的感受。故选D。 7．Why did the author mention The Three­Body Problem and The Wandering Earth? A．To compare the different writing styles in the two books. B．To explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas. C．To show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination. D．To prove that Liu Cixin's works relate science to reality. 解析　D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However，all his visions and solutions are based on ‘hard science’．Liu's works aren't simply daydreams.”可知，作者提到The Three­Body Problem和The Wandering Earth是为了证明Liu Cixin的作品是科学与现实的结合。故选D。 8．What's the text mainly about? A．Liu Cixin's achievements and writing style. B．Liu Cixin's contributions to science fiction. C．How Liu Cixin became a sci­fi writer. D．How Liu Cixin started a new sci­fi style. 解析　A　主旨大意题。根据第一段“Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer...fight with aliens，and visit planets light­years away.”可知，本文讲述的是Liu Cixin的成就与写作风格。故选A。 Ⅱ.完形填空 Izzi Dymalovski is a young girl from Melbourne，Australia.At the early age of just eight, she asked her mother if she could use some of her skincare products to 1 makeup after one of her dance performance.Her mother said that the products were 2 for adults due to the chemicals they contained.They were not 3 for young girls still developing.Izzi's mother 4 that she use baby products in order to clean the makeup off her face.It can be frustrating to use baby products for young kids.Understandably, Izzi was a bit 5 .
