UNIT 10 Connections 培优提能练(二)-【步步高】2024-2025学年高二英语选择性必修第四册教师用书（北师大版2019）

训练8　培优提能练(二)[分值：87.5分] Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，满分20分) A Rosie，a first-year university student in Beijing，entered a classroom for her oral English exam and handed her topic across the table to Joe，a foreign teacher.“In middle school，my classmates laughed at me for having deaf-mute(聋哑) parents，” she began softly.“From that moment on，I decided not to tell anybody.But today...” It’s widely considered taboo(忌讳) in Chinese to discuss the details of an unhappy family life with anyone other than very close friends.However，as Joe has noticed，many Chinese students appear surprisingly comfortable discussing emotional moments from their lives when they speak with foreign teachers in a language different from their own. “When speaking English，” one of his Chinese students told him，“I feel like another person.” When speaking Chinese，he is kind of reserved；in English class，he is more open.English，to the Chinese speaker，may be like a mask，creating a buffer(缓冲物) between speaking the truth and the listener’s reaction.Students focus on how to speak rather than what is being said.If there’s a misunderstanding，English can take the blame. Another reason why Chinese students are more comfortable sharing their secrets during English class may be the distinct approach to teaching used by their foreign teachers.“I always try to come to each student，make eye contact，have a 20-second conversation and see how they are doing，” Joe said.Classes taught by Chinese teachers，in contrast，are more formal.Many students said they had never been asked their opinions in class. Rosie’s English vocabulary is now extensive，but she still can’t find the words to describe her feelings towards the English language.“English makes me feel I am different，” she said.“English is beautiful.” 语篇解读　这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章以学生罗茜的故事为切入点，讲述中国学生用英语分享秘密时感觉更自在，并阐述了其原因。 1．What can we infer from paragraph 1? A．Rosie and Joe are good friends. B．Rosie will mention her personal affairs. C．Rosie looks down upon the disabled. D．Rosie lacks confidence in the oral exam. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段中“From that moment on，I decided not to tell anybody.But today...”可知，从第一段我们可以推断出罗茜会提到她的私事。故选B项。 2．What does the underlined word “reserved” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Terrified. B．Curious. C．Shy. D．Distinctive. 答案　C 解析　词义猜测题。根据画线单词下文“in English class，he is more open”可知，此处“reserved”与“open”意思相反，意为“害羞的”。故选C项。 3．What is the main idea of paragraph 3 and 4? A．How students feel when speaking English. B．What Joe’s approach to teaching English is. C．How Chinese acts as a mask during communication. D．Why students prefer to share emotional stories in English. 答案　D 解析　段落大意题。根据第三段和第四段内容，并结合第四段中“Another reason why Chinese students are more comfortable sharing their secrets during English class may be the distinct approach to teaching used by their foreign teachers.”可知，这两段主要讲述了为什么学生喜欢用英语分享情感故事。故选D项。 4．Which might be the best title of this passage? A．Sharing Secrets in English B．English Is a Beautiful Language C．Learning with Foreign Teachers D．Which Is More Popular，Chinese or English? 答案　A 解析　标题归纳题。综合全文内容可知，文章以学生罗茜的故事为切入点，讲述中国学生用英语分享秘密时感觉更自在，并阐述了其原因。由此可知，本文的最佳标题是“用英语分享秘密”。故选A项。 B A therapy(治疗) client and I are working on an eating disorder and find it originated from a relationship break-up or perhaps being bullied in middle school.Such hurtful experiences led to not eating for a couple of weeks.Then comes a high praise from a friend that totally backfires.Maybe it’s an enthusiastic comment，“Wow，you look great！” In a flash，this praise excites an inner and often unconscious thought：“Oh，people care more about me if I lose weight.So many things feel out of control but I can control people’s affection by not eating.” Often，very well-intentioned individuals offer praise out of a desire to uplift and connect.Such praise is often tied，directly or indirectly，to a person’s relationship with the standards of a specific group or institution.Sadly，such praise can easily reduce an individual’s dignity to their level in line with the group’s expectations rather than supporting their inherent(固有的) dignity and worth.So，what’s a better way? One answer is to exit the game of “right and wrong” and enter a more life-giving focus on what needs are present.Returning to our example above，when you see that someone has lost weight and you want to give them a praise，just pause and take a deep breath.Simply ask，“How are you doing？” See them and hear them.Appreciate them as a person of limitless value.Know there may be much more to their inner world than meets the eye.Similarly，when you see someone’s success in school，appreciate the hard work they put into it.Ask with gentle curiosity，“How’s it been for you？” Listen with your full attention that in itself can be a rare gift in today’s hustle and bustle world. By maintaining your concern and listening to the ways they want to be accompanied and supported—even when it might not be your first instinct—you can see them as a whole person，with complex feelings，very human needs，and inherent dignity. 语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人们常常出于好意而赞美他人，但这种赞美有时却会贬低个体的尊严，降低他们的内在价值。文章建议我们改变赞美方式，退出“对与错”的游戏，从关注个体的需求和感受出发，以更加尊重和理解的态度来欣赏他人。 5．What does the underlined word “backfires” in paragraph 1 refer to? A．Improves the situation. B．Shows sincere concern. C．Removes hurtful feelings. D．Produces an unexpected result. 答案　D 解析　词义猜测题。画线词上文讲述作者帮助患饮食失调症的患者找到了病因，积极寻求治疗方法，下文中的赞美激发了一种内在的、往往是无意识的想法：“哦，如果我减肥了，人们会更关心我。”说明朋友不合时宜的赞美让病人认为减肥可以让人们会更关心自己，可以通过不吃东西来控制人们(对自己)的喜爱，即朋友的话让作者给病人的治疗功亏一篑。backfires的意思是“produces an unexpected result(产生了一个意想不到的结果)”。故选D。 6．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．Analyzing the phenomenon. B．Listing another example. C．Presenting the solution. D．Making a proposal. 答案　A 解析　段落大意题。第二段针对第一段描述的情况，深入分析了善意的赞美所带来的意想不到的后果的原因，指出这种赞美往往与外部标准或群体期望联系在一起，潜在地损害了个人固有的尊严和价值。故第二段是对上文所述现象的深入剖析。故选A。 7．Why does the author suggest simply asking “How are you doing”？ A．To start a light conversation. B．To focus on one’s inner needs. C．To explore the secret of keeping slim. D．To accept one’s efforts. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中“One answer is to exit the game of ‘right and wrong’ and enter a more life-giving focus on what needs are present.”可知，方法之一是退出“对与错”的游戏，更多地关注他们当前的需求。后面的例子指出不要表扬别人的减肥成果，而只简单地问：“你怎么样？”，然后看他们所做，听他们所讲。把他们当作一个有无限价值的人来欣赏。了解他们的内心世界可能比你看到的要多得多。由此可知，作者建议通过简单地问“你怎么样？”来关注别人的内心需求。故选B。 8．What might be the title for the text? A．Say No to the “Right or Wrong” Game B．Why We Need to Make Praises to Others C．Follow Me and Be a Qualified Therapist D．How Innocent Words Can Be Harmful 答案　A 解析　标题归纳题。通读全文，结合第二段中“Sadly，such praise...their inherent(固有的) dignity and worth(可悲的是，这样的赞美很容易将个人的尊严降低到符合群体期望的水平，而不是支持他们固有的尊严和价值)．”和第三段中“One answer is to exit the game of ‘right and wrong’ and enter a more life-giving focus on what needs are present(方法之一是退出‘对与错’的游戏，选择一个更有生命的关注点，关注他们当前的需求)．”可知，文章旨在表达退出“对与错”的游戏，要从关注个体的需求和感受出发，以更加尊重和理解的态度来欣赏他人。故选A。 Ⅱ.七选五(每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Does the happiness of parents play a role in shaping the overall happiness of their children？Scientific studies have shed light on the far-reaching connection between parental happiness and the positive development of kids.It seems that parental happiness has an important influence on the emotional，social，and cognitive(认知的) development of children. 1 If they know their mental and emotional happiness has an impact on their children，perhaps it can motivate them to view it as part of being a good parent. 2 For example，they can join in activities that bring them joy and satisfaction.This could include hobbies，exercise，pursuing personal goals，or taking time for relaxation.When parents improve their own happiness，they can better support their children’s happiness. Another great idea is sharing experiences and creating many memories together.The idea is twofold. 3 At the same time，the shared experiences and showing their children how happy they are to do something they love can be incredibly valuable as well. One of the main aspects of being happy parents is feeling comfortable，confident and able to be themselves，despite their new status and huge responsibility.Honestly，when parents prioritize their own happiness，it has positive effects on the overall happiness of the family. 4 When parents put their own happiness first，they become role models for their kids.They see the importance of self-care，pursuing passions and maintaining healthy relationships. 5 So，parents should accept their uniqueness，enjoying life! A．However，part of being responsible is being honest. B．They are passing on some major life skills and attitudes. C．They may lose a bit of their sense of self when caring for children. D．Parents can adopt practical ways to enhance their own happiness. E．A joyful and harmonious family environment benefits everyone involved. F．This can happen when parents prioritize their own happiness according to Inc. G．Firstly，the parents continue to be themselves and do something they love. 语篇解读　这是一篇议论文，主要介绍了科学研究揭示父母的幸福和孩子的积极发展之间的深远联系，父母的幸福似乎对孩子的情感、社交和认知发展有着重要的影响。 1．答案　F 解析　上文“It seems that parental...development of children.”说父母的幸福似乎对孩子的情感、社交和认知发展有着重要的影响。下文“If they know their mental...part of being a good parent.”说如果他们知道他们的精神和情感上的幸福对他们的孩子有影响，也许这可以激励他们把这看作是一个好父母的一部分。F项“根据Inc的说法，当父母优先考虑自己的幸福时，这种情况就会发生”符合语境，F项中的This指代上一句内容，故选F。 2．答案　D 解析　设空处是本段主旨句，下文是对空格处内容的具体解释。下文具体讲了提高自己的幸福感的方法，故D项“Parents can adopt practical ways to enhance their own happiness(父母可以采取切实可行的方法来提高自己的幸福感)．”概括本段大意，故选D。 3．答案　G 解析　上文“The idea is twofold(这个想法是由两部分组成的)．”提到两部分。设空处与其下文分别讲了这两部分，故G项“Firstly，the parents continue to be themselves and do something they love(首先，父母继续做自己，做自己喜欢的事情)．”符合语境。故选G。 4．答案　E 解析　设空处位于该段段尾，应总结该段内容或与上文内容相关。该段上文讲的是父母优先考虑自己的幸福时，对家庭的整体幸福有积极的影响。E项“A joyful and harmonious family environment benefits everyone involved(一个快乐和谐的家庭环境使每个人都受益)．”和上文内容相关，总结了该段内容，符合语境。故选E。 5．答案　B 解析　上文“When parents put...healthy relationships.”讲的是父母成为孩子们的榜样，看到了自我照顾、保持热情和健康关系的重要性。B项“They are passing on some major life skills and attitudes(他们正在传授一些重要的生活技能和态度)．”和上文内容意思一致，为上文内容的语意递进，上下文语意连贯。故选B。 Ⅲ.完形填空(每小题1分，满分15分) Playing toss and catch(抛接游戏) with small children can be a fun experience.“Again，Mommy，again！” Sarah yells as I toss her up in the air and catch her safely.She spreads her arms and legs as if she were flying，her eyes shining with 1 .Her complete trust in me is heartwarming，yet it also carries a great deal of 2 .

Three more words to go.N-i-c-e-l-y.Q-u-i-c-k-l-y.H-o-n-e-s-t-y.Wait！She’d spelled “honesty”，not “honestly”．She erased “ty” and wrote “ly” before handing in her paper. “I’ll correct these while you’re at recess(休息)，” Ms McCormack said. After recess，Ms McCormack walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat.Then，as if she were an Olympic gymnast，Ms McCormack’s feet flipped into the air. “Congratulations，Karie！You did it！” she announced while upside down.The whole class erupted！Ms McCormack righted herself and presented Karie with her prize.Karie grinned as she read the label on the box： To Karie Carter：for her perfect first-quarter score in spelling. “Everything is OK？” Mom asked as Karie burst through the front door after school.“Everything’s PERFECT！” Karie shouted，showing Mom her spelling test and prize.Mom hugged her.“Put the test on the fridge so Dad and Kevin can see it when they get home.” “And Casper，too.” Karie picked up her cat.“Can you spell ‘nicely’，Casper？And ‘quickly’ and ‘honestly’，and...” Karie’s stomach tumbled to the floor.Honestly? H-O-N-E-S-L-Y! “Karie，what’s the matter？” said Mom. “I don’t feel so good，” Karie said，putting Casper down and stuffing the test paper into her backpack. Soon Karie heard her dad and Kevin come in.The smell of pizza wafted(飘荡) in the air.Karie thought back to the last time they’d picked up pizza after Kevin’s school play.They almost reached home when Mom realized the cashier had given them too much change.“Let’s turn around，” Mom had said.The whole time they were driving back to the pizzeria，Kevin kept saying，“It’s not our fault.The cashier didn’t notice.” But Mom just insisted.After supper，Karie went to her room and fell onto her bed. 范文补全 Lying on the bed，Karie was wondering what she should do.1.How could she tell the class she shouldn’t have earned the prize(她怎么才能告诉同学们她本不应该获奖呢)？Karie even got up and picked up her pencil.If she put the missing “t” back，no one would ever know.2.Gazing at the word “honesly”(盯着honesly这个单词看) and 3.thinking of her mom’s insistence on giving back the extra change to the cashier(想到妈妈坚持将多余的零钱还给收银员)，4.Karie finally dropped her pencil and gently placed the test paper into her backpack(Karie最后放下笔，将试卷轻轻地放进背包)． When Karie got to school the next morning，Ms McCormack was unlocking the door.5.Karie’s hands trembled(Karie的手都颤抖了)．She gave her teacher the spelling paper and the dictionary.“I can’t keep this.6.I mispelled ‘honestly’ but you didn’t catch it(我拼错了“honestly”，但你没有发现)．”“I see，” Ms McCormack pushed open the door.“Come in and sit down，Karie.” For a moment，Ms McCormack stood quietly reading the label on the dictionary.Then she picked up her pen.She crossed out the word perfect and 7.wrote “honest” before handing the dictionary back to Karie(写下“honest”这个单词，然后将词典递给Karie).8.Karie’s jaw dropped(Karie的下巴都要掉了)．“I get to keep this？” “For honestly，no，” Ms McCormack smiled.“But for honesty，yes.” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
