Ⅳ 阅读理解 A Here, our selection of Britain’s strangest museums has something for everyone. Every exhibit tells a unique and captivating story. Explore our collections and discover the rich history and culture of the nation. Glasgow Riverside Transport Museum The museum houses steam engines, motorbikes, Glasgow buses and just about anything else that has a set of wheels, wrings or sails. One of the last tall ships in existence is moored (停泊) outside, and you can take a boat there from Govan. For those not in love with transport, there’s a copy of a 19th-century Glasgow street with traditional shops and an old subway station. Entrance is free and for children of all ages. The Natural History Museum, Hertfordshire The Victorians were mad about collecting, and this is essentially the personal collection of just one home-educated boy, which began when he was 5 years old. But as a member of the Rothschild family, Walter took 40 years to do it. There’s just about every stuffed animal you could ever imagine, and quite a few you couldn’t: a polar bear; George, a mandrill (山魈) from London Zoo and a four-ton elephant seal. Entrance is free. The Pencil Museum1, Cumbria It is a museum all about the history of the everyday pencil. There are free daily artists’ demonstrations and workshops, so you can enter from one end of the museum and go out with a drawing from another end. The lovely Lake District location adds to the experience and the wonderful shop is especially enjoyable for stationery (文具) lovers. Entrance: adults £8, children £6. The Time Machine Museum of Science Fiction, Hertfordshire This is the result of 30 years of crazy collecting by Andy Glazzard. There are artworks from sci-fi classics, but most of the museum artworks center on Doctor Who. Entrance: adults £4.25, children f3.25. 1. What can visitors see in Glasgow Riverside Transport Museum? A. Stuffed animals. B. Various vehicles. C. Old bus stations. D. Some modern shops. 2. How much would a couple with two children pay for admission to The Pencil Museum? A. £14 B. £20 C. £28 D. £32 3. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A news report. B. A science fiction. C. A history textbook. D. A travel guidebook. B It’s late in the evening, time to close the book and turn off the computer. You’re done for the day. What you may not realize, however, is that the learning process actually continues in your dreams. It might sound like science fiction, but researchers are increasingly focusing on the relationship between the knowledge and skills our brains absorb during the day and the often strange imaginings they generate at night. Scientists have found that dreaming about a task we’ve learned improves performance in that activity (suggesting that there’s some truth to the popular idea that we’re “getting” a foreign language once we begin dreaming in it). What’s more, dreaming may be an essential part of understanding, organizing and retaining what we learn. While we sleep, research indicates, the brain replays the patterns of activity it experienced during waking hours, allowing us to enter what one psychologist calls a neural (神经的) virtual reality. A vivid example of such replay can be seen in a video researchers made recently about sleep disorders. They taught a series of dance moves to patients suffering from sleepwalking and related conditions. They then videotaped the subjects as they slept. Lying in bed, eyes closed, one female patient on the tape performs the dance moves she learned earlier. This shows that while our bodies are at rest, our brains are drawing what’s important from the information and events we’ve recently encountered, then integrating that material into the vast store of what we already know. In a 2010 study, researchers reported that college students who dreamed about a computer maze (迷宫) task they had learned showed a 10-fold improvement in their ability to find their way through the maze compared with participants who did not dream about the task. That study’s chief researcher Herbert Smith suggested that studying right before bedtime or taking a nap following a study session in the afternoon might increase the probability of dreaming about the material. Think about that as you go to sleep tonight. 4．What happens when one enters a dream state? A．The body continues to act as if the sleeper were awake. B．The neural activity of the brain will become intensified. C．The brain once again experiences the learning activities of the day. D．The brain behaves as if it were playing a virtual reality video game. 5．What does the brain do while we are sleeping? A．It replaces old information with new material. B．It processes and absorbs newly acquired information. C．It regroups information and places it in different files. D．It systematizes all the information collected during the day. 6．How can learning be enhanced according to Herbert Smith? A．Staying up late before finally going to bed. B．Having a period of sleep right after studying. C．Having a dream about anything you are interested in. D．Thinking about the chances of dreaming about the material. 7．What is the research discussed in the passage mainly about? A．How study affects people’s dreams. B．Why people learn more after sleeping. C．What time students should study and sleep. D．How dreaming may lead to improved learning outcomes. Ⅴ 七选五 （2024·浙江·模拟预测）A 2021 report from Habitat for Humanity International found that SDG 11.1 was actually regressing. We are seeing stagnation instead of progress toward the goal. Governments must prioritize adequate housing, especially for those struggling to survive in today’s overcrowded settlements. 1 Here are three steps that governments — and leaders in both the public and private sectors — can take to alleviate this growing housing crisis: 1. Prioritize land tenure (占有) security Ensure residents of informal settlements have secure rights to the land they inhabit. This has already happened on a large scale in countries such as Honduras, where civil society organizations and governments came together to form diverse commissions that developed policy recommendations around housing and land, negotiating approval of the recommendations and then monitoring their implementation. 2 . 2. 3 For residents of Freetown’s informal settlements and countless other cities, traditional avenues of housing finance are simply not accessible. 4 They exhibit similar characteristics to traditional mortgage loans, but their smaller size helps make them more accessible to families with lower incomes. 3. Strengthen climate-resilient housing 5 .The public and private sectors can work together to support and invest in community start-ups specializing in low-cost, climate-resilient homes and locally sourced building materials. For example, an NGO based in Sierra Leone, Home Leone, has over the past 5 years been developing affordable housing utilizing low-cost construction techniques, and providing facilities to meet the basic needs of communities and an integrated approach to housing development for low-income communities. We must act now to pave a stronger foundation for the more than 10 billion people expected to inhabit our cities by 2050. This starts with the urgent improvement of housing in rapidly expanding informal settlements worldwide. This long-overdue investment will more than pay for itself by building more prosperous and equitable communities for generations to come. A．Expand finance for housing B．Revolutionize mortgage loans C．Informal settlements are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change D．That means increasing financial commitments by an order of magnitude and making meaningful policy changes. E．But the situation has changed a lot. F．Through their technical assistance, more than 1 million people have improved access to their land rights G．Microloans offer hope by providing individuals with the means to access capital for housing improvements and upgrades.

This was the same feeling that overwhelms me every year. But this year it was different, because if I failed this exam I would not graduate. I sat there, panic stricken, unable to move. Pressure crushed in on me. What if I could not go to high school? Would Dad and Mum kick me out of their house? I took two deep breaths and looked up. I could see the teacher pacing up and down. The classroom was dead silent except for the clock. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. I checked the clock for the third time. Ten minutes left! I clenched (握紧) and unclenched my fist in an attempt to calm myself. Think! I told myself. I knew I could do this. My hand couldn’t help trembling. Then I scribbled (胡乱写下) the first few words that hit me. “It isn’t my fault...” I stared blankly at those words. At the comer of my eye, I could see my teacher walking towards me. She was checking on our progress! Dread built up within me. Then, I glanced at the four words again. Without any warning, my hand moved to write. Hair on my arms stood as the teacher leaned in and started to read my work. I peered over to see my teacher’s expression, praying that my work had not brought in disappointment. To my astonishment, she displayed a clear satisfaction! That was good, wasn’t it? I hurriedly looked down at my essay. I skimmed it through. I felt proud. Now, there’s something I was still worried about. I checked the clock. Two minutes left! I was still writing! I bit my lip, took a deep breath, and concentrated on writing. I heard the teacher leave. “There’s one minute left. Please check your work.” the teacher reminded us. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 “One minute left?” I cried. _____________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, the teacher handed the papers back to us.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit5A Delicate World Starting out&Understanding Ideas分层作业练习 I 单词拼写 1.

(门票：成人8英镑，儿童6英镑)”可知，一对带着两个孩子的夫妇要付：8×2+6×2=28英镑。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。文章介绍了英国四个最奇怪的博物馆的相关信息，所以文章很可能出自一本旅游指南。故选D。 B It’s late in the evening, time to close the book and turn off the computer. You’re done for the day. What you may not realize, however, is that the learning process actually continues in your dreams. It might sound like science fiction, but researchers are increasingly focusing on the relationship between the knowledge and skills our brains absorb during the day and the often strange imaginings they generate at night. Scientists have found that dreaming about a task we’ve learned improves performance in that activity (suggesting that there’s some truth to the popular idea that we’re “getting” a foreign language once we begin dreaming in it). What’s more, dreaming may be an essential part of understanding, organizing and retaining what we learn. While we sleep, research indicates, the brain replays the patterns of activity it experienced during waking hours, allowing us to enter what one psychologist calls a neural (神经的) virtual reality. A vivid example of such replay can be seen in a video researchers made recently about sleep disorders. They taught a series of dance moves to patients suffering from sleepwalking and related conditions. They then videotaped the subjects as they slept. Lying in bed, eyes closed, one female patient on the tape performs the dance moves she learned earlier. This shows that while our bodies are at rest, our brains are drawing what’s important from the information and events we’ve recently encountered, then integrating that material into the vast store of what we already know. In a 2010 study, researchers reported that college students who dreamed about a computer maze (迷宫) task they had learned showed a 10-fold improvement in their ability to find their way through the maze compared with participants who did not dream about the task. That study’s chief researcher Herbert Smith suggested that studying right before bedtime or taking a nap following a study session in the afternoon might increase the probability of dreaming about the material. Think about that as you go to sleep tonight. 4．What happens when one enters a dream state? A．The body continues to act as if the sleeper were awake. B．The neural activity of the brain will become intensified. C．The brain once again experiences the learning activities of the day. D．The brain behaves as if it were playing a virtual reality video game. 5．What does the brain do while we are sleeping? A．It replaces old information with new material. B．It processes and absorbs newly acquired information. C．It regroups information and places it in different files. D．It systematizes all the information collected during the day. 6．How can learning be enhanced according to Herbert Smith? A．Staying up late before finally going to bed. B．Having a period of sleep right after studying. C．Having a dream about anything you are interested in. D．Thinking about the chances of dreaming about the material. 7．What is the research discussed in the passage mainly about? A．How study affects people’s dreams. B．Why people learn more after sleeping. C．What time students should study and sleep. D．How dreaming may lead to improved learning outcomes. 【答案】4．C 5．B 6．B 7．D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。“日有所思，夜有所梦”能让你学习更好。本文通过讲述一项研究阐述了做梦如何让你的学习效果得到提高。 4．细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“While we sleep, research indicates, the brain replays the patterns of activity it experienced during waking hours, allowing us to enter what one psychologist calls a neural (神经的) virtual reality.(研究表明，当我们睡觉的时候，大脑会回放它在清醒时间所经历的活动模式，让我们进入一位心理学家所说的神经虚拟现实)”，句子中的“the brain replays the patterns of activity it experienced during waking hours(大脑会重复它在清醒时所经历的活动模式)”，与D选项“大脑再次经历白天的学习活动”为这句话的同义转述，因此可知，当一个人进入梦境状态时，大脑再次经历白天的学习活动。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“This shows that while our bodies are at rest, our brains are drawing what’s important from the information and events we’ve recently encountered, then integrating that material into the vast store of what we already know.(这表明，当我们的身体处于静止状态时，我们的大脑正在从我们最近遇到的信息和事件中提取重要的东西，并且把这些信息存入我们已有的记忆库中)”，B选项中的process是extract的同义替换，absorb是integrate的同义替换。因此当我们在睡觉时，大脑在处理并吸收新习得的数据信息。故选B。 6．推理判断题。根据第二段的“Scientists have found that dreaming about a task we’ve learned improves performance in that activity (suggesting that there’s some truth to the popular idea that we’re “getting” a foreign language once we begin dreaming in it). (科学家发现，如果梦到所学习的任务，那么在任务活动中的表现会更好。表明这种流行的观点有一些道理，即一旦我们开始做梦梦到英语，我们就会学会一门外语)”以及最后一段的“That study’s chief researcher Herbert Smith suggested that studying right before bedtime or taking a nap following a study session in the afternoon might increase the probability of dreaming about the material.(这项研究的首席研究员赫伯特·史密斯建议，在睡觉前学习或在下午的研究会议后打个盹可能会增加梦到这种材料的可能性)”可推断，Herbert Smiths建议在学习之后有一段时间的睡眠，有助于加强学习效果。故选B。 7．主旨大意题。根据第二段的“Scientists have found that dreaming about a task we’ve learned improves performance in that activity (suggesting that there’s some truth to the popular idea that we’re “getting” a foreign language once we begin dreaming in it). What’s more, dreaming may be an essential part of understanding, organizing and retaining what we learn.(科学家发现，如果梦到所学习的任务，那么在任务活动中的表现会更好。暗示着这种流行的观点有一些道理，即一旦我们开始做梦梦到英语，我们就会学会一门外语。更重要的是，梦想可能是理解、组织和保留我们所学到的东西的重要组成部分)”以及下文对这个观点的解释说明可推断，文章主要介绍了做梦如何导致学习结果的提高。故选D。 Ⅴ 七选五 （2024·浙江·模拟预测）A 2021 report from Habitat for Humanity International found that SDG 11.1 was actually regressing.

For example, an NGO based in Sierra Leone, Home Leone, has over the past 5 years been developing affordable housing utilizing low-cost construction techniques, and providing facilities to meet the basic needs of communities and an integrated approach to housing development for low-income communities. We must act now to pave a stronger foundation for the more than 10 billion people expected to inhabit our cities by 2050. This starts with the urgent improvement of housing in rapidly expanding informal settlements worldwide. This long-overdue investment will more than pay for itself by building more prosperous and equitable communities for generations to come. A．Expand finance for housing B．Revolutionize mortgage loans C．Informal settlements are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change D．That means increasing financial commitments by an order of magnitude and making meaningful policy changes. E．But the situation has changed a lot. F．Through their technical assistance, more than 1 million people have improved access to their land rights G．Microloans offer hope by providing individuals with the means to access capital for housing improvements and upgrades. 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．A 4．G 5．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。国际人居中心2021年的一份报告发现，可持续发展目标11.1实际上正在倒退。我们看到的是停滞不前，而不是朝着目标前进。本文针对这一问题提出了几个建议。 1．根据上文“Governments must prioritize adequate housing, especially for those struggling to survive in today’s overcrowded settlements.(各国政府必须优先考虑足够的住房，尤其是为那些在当今拥挤的定居点中挣扎求生的人提供足够的住房。)”可知此处上下文说的是政府要提供足够的住房。增加住房就意味着更多的财政投入，可推理出下文说的是与财政投入的增加有关的话题，与D项“That means increasing financial commitments by an order of magnitude and making meaningful policy changes.(这意味着将财政承诺增加一个数量级，并做出有意义的政策改变)”表达的含义一致，故选D项。 2．根据上文“Ensure residents of informal settlements have secure rights to the land they inhabit.(确保非正规住区的居民对其居住的土地享有安全的权利。)”可知此处上下文说的是与保障居民所居住的土地安全有关的话题，与F项“Through their technical assistance, more than 1 million people have improved access to their land rights(通过技术援助，100多万人改善了获得土地权利的机会)”表达的含义一致，故选F项。 3．根据下文“For residents of Freetown’s informal settlements and countless other cities, traditional avenues of housing finance are simply not accessible.(对于弗里敦非正规定居点和无数其他城市的居民来说，传统的住房融资渠道根本无法获得。)”可知下文提出了一个需要解决的问题，可推理出下文对这一问题给与扩大住房融资有关的建议，与A项“Expand finance for housing(扩大住房融资)”表达的含义一致，故选A项。 4．根据下文“They exhibit similar characteristics to traditional mortgage loans, but their smaller size helps make them more accessible to families with lower incomes.(它们表现出与传统抵押贷款相似的特征，但较小的规模有助于低收入家庭更容易获得这些贷款。)”可知此处上下文说的是与小额贷款有助于解决问题有关的话题，与G项“Microloans offer hope by providing individuals with the means to access capital for housing improvements and upgrades.(小额贷款为个人提供了获得住房改善和升级资金的途径，从而带来了希望。)”表达的含义一致，故选G项。 5．根据下文“The public and private sectors can work together to support and invest in community start-ups specializing in low-cost, climate-resilient homes and locally sourced building materials.(公共和私营部门可以合作，支持和投资社区初创企业，专门从事低成本、气候适应性强的住房和当地采购的建筑材料。)”可推理出上文解释了为什么要支持从事气候适应性强的住房的初创企业，与C项“Informal settlements are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change(非正规住区极易受到气候变化的影响)”表达的含义一致，故选C项。 Ⅵ 完形填空 （2024·四川乐山·统考一模.节选部分）In January 2008, Rachel Lapierre, a full-time nurse and part-time volunteer aid worker, made a life-changing decision.

This was the same feeling that overwhelms me every year. But this year it was different, because if I failed this exam I would not graduate. I sat there, panic stricken, unable to move. Pressure crushed in on me. What if I could not go to high school? Would Dad and Mum kick me out of their house? I took two deep breaths and looked up. I could see the teacher pacing up and down. The classroom was dead silent except for the clock. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. I checked the clock for the third time. Ten minutes left! I clenched (握紧) and unclenched my fist in an attempt to calm myself. Think! I told myself. I knew I could do this. My hand couldn’t help trembling. Then I scribbled (胡乱写下) the first few words that hit me. “It isn’t my fault...” I stared blankly at those words. At the comer of my eye, I could see my teacher walking towards me. She was checking on our progress! Dread built up within me. Then, I glanced at the four words again. Without any warning, my hand moved to write. Hair on my arms stood as the teacher leaned in and started to read my work. I peered over to see my teacher’s expression, praying that my work had not brought in disappointment. To my astonishment, she displayed a clear satisfaction! That was good, wasn’t it? I hurriedly looked down at my essay. I skimmed it through. I felt proud. Now, there’s something I was still worried about. I checked the clock. Two minutes left! I was still writing! I bit my lip, took a deep breath, and concentrated on writing. I heard the teacher leave. “There’s one minute left. Please check your work.” the teacher reminded us. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 “One minute left?” I cried. _____________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, the teacher handed the papers back to us._______________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】参考范文 “One minute left?” I cried. Everybody looked at me weirdly. I looked down, feeling ashamed. But I had to finish the paper. I tried to ignore everything and continue writing. One more word, I said to myself, come on. Just like this, I forced myself to concentrate and willed my hand to scribble whatever that popped up on my mind. “Time’s up! Put your pens down. Please hand in your test paper to me in the front.” the teacher announced. I finished! I put down my pen, breathing a sigh of relief, and then I stood up and limped towards the teacher to hand it in-my legs felt like noodles, thanks to the extreme tension. A week later, the teacher handed the papers back to us. It was the time for truth! I folded my paper and held it tightly in my hands, shilly-shallying about whether to check the result in front of my classmates. Finally I decided I should face my fate bravely and unfolded it. It was an “A”! I could not believe my eyes. How could it be? It was the first time in my life that I had got an “A”. I turned to look at my teacher. Our eyes met. She nodded and gave me a big smile! At that point, I made a firm resolution: I’d be more hard-working and more confident, so that I wouldn’t be stuck and panic like this again in high school. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在考场上再一次感到非常焦虑恐慌，害怕自己不及格让父母失望，经过一系列心理斗争强迫让自己平静下来继续答卷的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“还剩下一分钟吗？我喊道。”可知，第一段可描写临近交卷前作者的行为以及交卷后的心理状态。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，老师把试卷还给了我们。”可知，本段应该写作者本次考试的结果以及之后的心理状态。 2.续写线索：羞愧提出疑问——继续完成答题——交卷后如释重负——试卷下发——勇敢面对成绩——成绩结果优秀——老师满意——下定决心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①集中精力：concentrate/focus ②胡乱写：scribble/scrawl ③犹豫不决：shilly-shally/hesitate ④下定决心：make a firm resolution/make up one’s mind 情绪类 ①古怪地：weirdly/oddly/strangely ②勇敢地：bravely/courageously 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Learning Objectives Learn how the chaos was caused in Macquarie Island and how people tried to conserve the island, then use “cause and effect” structure to describe a story; Starting Out 3 1. Watch the video and answer the questions. 1) Are humans part of Earth’s ecosystems? Why? 2) In what ways can humans affect ecosystems? Starting Out 2. Look at the satellite images and answer the questions. 1) What is happening to the area according to the satellite images? 2) What do you think a later satellite image would show? 3) What do you think caused these changes? The water area is shrinking. The water area will be smaller. Perhaps because of human over-exploitation. Starting Out The Aral Sea lies between Uzbekistan (to the south) and Kazakhstan (to the north). Once the fourth largest lake in the world, the Aral Sea is now less than half of its original size. The Aral Sea is a terminal, or endorheic, sea (meaning no water flows out of it). It is fed by the Syr Darya and the Amu Darya Rivers, but Soviet river diversions for irrigation made over 40 years ago have starved the Aral Sea of water. In 2001, the World Bank funded the construction of an 8-mile dam to separate the North and South Aral, and thereby save the smaller and less polluted North Aral Sea. The North Aral has been growing since completion of the Kok-Aral Dam in the summer of 2005. Repairs and updates to the inefficient Soviet-era canals have also played a role in the rejuvenation of the North Aral. The Aral Sea Understanding Ideas 7 Macquarie Island lies in the South- west Pacific Ocean, halfway between Australia and Antarctica. Its native inhabitants encountered challenges.
