练案[8] Unit 2 Making a difference
Section Ⅳ Writing——Writing a biography
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Every year,usually in November,famous British
people go to London for a special award ceremony
Pride of Britain Awards. It celebrates Britains
heroes—ordinary people who have shown bravery in a
dangerous situation or who have done a lot to help
others. When the nation needs a bit of cheering up,
maybe we need more people like Dante Marvin.
Dressed in a tiny white suit,Dante was focused
on in a wheelchair. He was a pocket rocket of
positivity,taken to the stage with a loud“Whats up,
London?”like a rock star. Dante Marvin told all
celebrities present that he would not let a bone disease
get in the way of his raising efforts. Despite his own
illness,he inspires everyone he meets. He often
beams at others and works hard to spread happiness to
others as an ambassador for the childrens charity,
Variety.
Dante,11,from Liverpool,suffers much more
than most. He had 16 broken bones in his mum
Rachaels body and was born with fragile bone disease
and scoliosis(脊柱侧凸). He has broken 92 bones in
his life—as a sneeze or slap can injure him—and has
received 17 separate operations to insert metal chips.
Rachael says,“I dont prevent Dante doing anything.
He just gets on with it. He hates seeing other children
sad. If I take him to the hospital,he is more bothered
about the crying children and tries to comfort them. I
am so proud of him.”
Dante is so grateful for his new yellow wheelchair
that has been donated by Variety. He said,“My message
to anyone with a disability is‘dont give up.”He reminds
people of his motto—there are no disabilities, just
abilities. Presenting Dante with the award—Child of
Courage,Jason Manford,a famous comedian,asked if
hed like to be a comedian and Dante told him he never
stops laughing.
1. Who is Pride of Britain Awards intended for?
A. Special talents.
B. Civilian heroes.
C. Outstanding children.
D. Super stars acting modestly.
2. Whats the meaning of the underlined word“beams”
in Paragraph 2?
A. Glares. B. Fires.
C. Smiles. D. Guesses.
3. What does the author mainly want to tell us in
Paragraph 3?
A. Dantes suffering and quality of helping others.
B. The importance of good family education.
C. Examples of Dantes spreading happiness.
D. The symptom of fragile bone disease.
4. What can be inferred according to the text?
A. Dantes dream is to be a comedian.
B. Jason Manford is a humorous host.
C. The award helps achieve ones goal.
D. Dante is always optimistic and joyful.

Ⅱ.七选五
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Rich and Famous
Twenty years ago the most common ambition of American children was to be a teacher,followed by
working in banking and finance,and then medicine. But todays situation is quite different. 1. Instead
they most commonly say they want to be a sports star,a pop star,or an actor—in other words,they hope to
become a celebrity.
According to experts,young people desire these jobs largely because of the wealth and the fame. 2.
Lets take athletes and singers as an example. Their careers are shortlived. Many athletes best time only lasts
a few years and singers can have a very limited career. The field that was once the focus of their lives becomes
something they have little or no involvement in. As a result,theyll have a feeling of worthlessness and a lack
of control. 3. The truth is quite simple:they have been so far removed from it for so long.
In spite of these disadvantages,there is greater ambition than ever among young people to achieve that
status. They are not satisfied just making a living—they want to be rich and famous. Globally,more and more
TV shows provide talent competitions where winners can achieve their goals in just a few weeks or months.
4. They unrealistically believe that this lifestyle is easily obtained and leads to great satisfaction.
While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions,others feel that this
trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to reach their goals. 5. That
means they ignore the simple fact that great effort is needed before success. As a result,many people wont
realize their childhood dreams,which could have a negative effect on their happiness.
A. In many ways this has been brought about by the celebrity culture.
B. People no longer have a sense of satisfaction once their goals have been achieved.
C. Besides,it can be difficult for them to adapt back to a normal everyday life.
D. The younger generation dont favor these professions any more.
E. Unfortunately,they do not always have a positive effect on peoples life.
F. The reason is that they dont realize it takes talent and hard work to be rich and famous.
G. This quick way of gaining wealth and fame creates a celebrity culture among people.
