课时梯级训练(十二)　Section Ⅳ　Writing Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2024·成都高二期末)Dreams of world peace are as old as wars.But as the women of Wales were recovering from World War Ⅰ，they demanded peace in droves. Still grieving the husbands，sons，and loved ones who fought in the war，in 1923 the Welsh League of Nations Union(WLNU) drafted a petition(请愿书) at Aberystwyth University calling for a warless world. The petition was signed by roughly three quarters of all the women in Wales and was said to be seven miles long.The document was then packed in a large oak chest and sent across the Atlantic. It was the WLNU's hope that America would join in their mission for peace，and so they toured with the petition across the country before President Calvin Coolidge gave it to the Smithsonian for preservation. As the centennial anniversary of World War I approached，a plaque was found in the archives at the Temple of Peace in Cardiff mentioning the petition，but nobody knew what it was，says Mererid Hopwood，chair of the Women's Peace Petition Partnership. So in 2017，an email was sent to the Smithsonian inquiring about the status and location of the chest and its petition. Having arrived at the National Library of Wales on March 29 this year，Hopwood received it along with other members of the Peace Petition Partnership and described opening the chest and finally getting to see its contents(内容) as an emotional moment. Hopwood is hoping more Welsh citizens will have similar experiences now that the petition has returned to its original home.The petition will be digitized，along with all signatures and addresses，so the public can view it online and see if their grandmothers or previous tenants of their homes signed 100 years ago. Clearly the world has not yet achieved the petition's great goals，but Hopwood said the signatures gave her hope. 1．What was the petition meant for? A．A thirst for peace. B．An end to World War Ⅰ. C．A fight for Wales. D．A call for apology. 2．What can we infer about the petition from Paragraph 3? A．Most Welsh signed on the petition. B．Welsh asked for Americans' help. C．Welsh women wished for peace. D．Welsh women honored the war. 3．How did Hopwood like the reappearance of the petition? A．She could lead the petition. B．Her hope for peace is on fire. C．Welsh could be free of wars. D．It would cause a big storm. 4．What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A．To memorise World War Ⅰ. B．To remind us to value peace. C．To prove Welshwomen's bravery. D.To inform us of the reappearance of a petition. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一战后的和平请愿书再次出现在世人面前，并介绍了这份和平请愿书的由来以及签署情况。 1．A　[解析]细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，这份请愿书是为了呼吁世界和平。故选A。 2．C　[解析]推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“The petition was signed by roughly three quarters of all the women in Wales and was said to be seven miles long.”可知，这份请愿书有威尔士大约四分之三的女性签名，据说长达七英里。由此可推知，威尔士女性渴望和平。故选C。 3．B　[解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，显然，世界还没有达到请愿书的伟大目标，但Hopwood说，请愿书给了她希望。由此可推知，请愿书的重现燃起了她对和平的希望。故选B。 4．D　[解析]推理判断题。结合本文介绍了这份和平请愿书的由来、签署情况，在美国存封和在一战结束100周年纪念之际再次面世的事实可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是告知读者请愿书再次出现。故选D。 Ⅱ.七选五阅读 Since the day of its birth，the United Nations has been the subject of much debate.1. Others think that it is too weak.We can better understand this debate if we learn more about the UN and its history. The UN was started for two reasons.First，when the idea was born，people all over the world were tired of war.They felt that there must be peaceful answers to the world's problems.2. The second reason was that modern science had developed new bombs and airplanes.3. National borders were beginning to lose their meaning.Science would develop even more dangerous weapons in the future.Only an international organization would be able to control modern science. Franklin D．Roosevelt，US President at the time，believed that the Allies(联盟) should plan for peace before the war ended.On December 1，1943，Roosevelt，Britain's Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin from Soviet Union agreed to start an organization for world peace.4. During the next year and a half，the idea of such an organization was debated around the world.Then came the big day.On April 25，1945，the first international meeting of the United Nations took place in San Francisco.The goal of the meeting was to write the UN Charter(宪章).All of the fifty nations at the meeting had their own ideas to offer for the Charter. 5． Every nation present voted for the Charter.No one voted against it. A．The UN Charter is a beautiful piece of writing. B．After a long debate，a final Charter was agreed upon. C．Even the smallest country on Earth can have its voice heard. D．They asked all countries，large and small，to join the organization. E．These weapons made it almost impossible for a country to defend itself. F．Some people attack the organization because they think it is too powerful. G．They also felt that only an international organization could keep world peace. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了联合国成立的原因及历史。 1．F　[解析]空处与下句“Others think that it is too weak.”形成对比，所以选F项。 2．G　[解析]根据上文的“First，when the idea was born，people all over the world were tired of war.”可知，当时人们厌倦战争，渴望和平，希望建立一个国际组织来维护世界和平，所以选G项。 3．E　[解析]根据空前的new bombs and airplanes和下文的“National borders were beginning to lose their meaning.”可知，现代科学研制出了新型炸弹和飞机，这些武器让一个国家的自卫变得不可能，国家边界变得没有意义，所以选E项。 4．D　[解析]根据空前一句“On December 1，1943，Roosevelt，Britain's Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin from Soviet Union agreed to start an organization for world peace.”可知，三国首脑呼吁全世界所有国家加入这个组织以维护世界和平，所以选D项。 5．B　[解析]由下文的“Every nation present voted for the Charter.No one voted against it.”可知，《联合国宪章》由出席会议的50个成员国全票通过，所以选B项。 Ⅲ.应用文写作 近来世界局势动荡不安，某些国家更是处于交战状态。假设你是某中学学生李华。请你给某英文报社VIEWS专栏投稿，表达你对该形势的看法。内容包括： 1．表达担忧； 2．阐述战争的危害； 3．表达对和平的向往。 注意： 1．词数80左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3．标题已经给出，不计入总词数。 A Few Thoughts on World Peace [参考范文] A Few Thoughts on World Peace As a student in today's world，I am deeply concerned about the current instability and conflicts in various parts of the globe.The sight of nations engulfed in warfare fills me with profound anxiety. Wars are devastating，not only for the soldiers on the battlefield but also for civilians.They lead to the loss of innocent lives，the destruction of homes，and the tearing apart of families.Furthermore，wars hinder progress，hinder international cooperation，and can even threaten the existence of civilization. I yearn for a world where peace reigns supreme and where differences are resolved through dialogue and understanding，not through violence.I believe that only through collective efforts can we achieve this goal of global peace and harmony. Ⅳ.读后续写 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Lena could clearly remember the night she had to flee her home in Hungary.It was the beginning of the Second World War and her family needed to escape fast.She quickly packed a suitcase with a few pieces of clothing，her diary，and her most prized possession—a beautiful silk scarf.Lena and her best friend，Monika，had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves，which they each wore and tied around their neck as a symbol of their friendship.Lena had no idea that when she left for America that night，she would never return.Her family settled on the sunny west coast in California. After settling in California，Lena and her family had to start a new life from scratch.Lena was initially homesick and missed her old life in Hungary.She missed those good old days with Monika.Yet life went on.Luckily，despite the challenges of starting over in a new country，Lena and her family thrived in their new home. Decades later，Lena's granddaughter—Eliza graduated from college.Eliza often asked Lena about her life in Hungary and the silk scarf that she brought with her.Lena would smile and tell her stories of her childhood，the war，and the long journey to America.She showed her the scarf and explained its significance as a symbol of her friendship with Monika，and how it represented the importance of having close relationships and staying connected to one's roots. Several months later，Eliza was finally notified of her first job interview.Lena decided to give the scarf to her to wear for good luck.Lena was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf，but her granddaughter reassured her，“Don't worry，Grandma，nothing's going to happen to your scarf.You'll see.It is going to bring both of us luck today.” With that，Eliza kissed her grandmother on the cheek and left. That afternoon，Eliza left the interview feeling confident that she had got the job.She decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: As she sat at her table，she felt someone staring at her. Paragraph 2： Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the other woman. [参考范文] Paragraph 1: As she sat at her table，she felt someone staring at her.Sitting next to her was an elderly woman who could not take her eyes off her.“I'm sorry，do I know you？” Eliza asked.“I'm sorry，dear，but you remind me of someone I once knew，” the old woman replied in an accented voice.“My best friend looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like the one you're wearing around your neck.” Eliza felt goose bumps go up her arms.She had heard stories of her grandmother's best friend and knew the significance of the scarf.Could this be Monika，her grandmother's childhood friend? Paragraph 2： Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the other woman. “My name's Monika，dear.I'm originally from Hungary，but my family had to leave when I was 14 and I've been living here in California ever since.” Eliza could not believe it.She said，“Monika，would you mind going somewhere with me？I want to show you someone very special.”The elderly woman agreed and they left the restaurant together.They walked the short distance to Lena's home and rang the doorbell.When Lena opened the door，she was amazed to see her childhood friend standing in front of her.The scarf had indeed brought good luck. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
