Unit 1.1 Starting out & Understanding ideas(Ⅰ)-【创新教程】2025-2026学年高中英语选择性必修第二册五维课堂Word课时作业（外研版2019）

Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Parents often put their own relationship on the back burner to concentrate on their children，but a new study shows that when spouses(配偶)love each other，their children stay in school longer and marry later in life. Research about how the affection between parents shapes their children's long­term life outcomes is rare because the data demands are high.This study uses unique data from families in Nepal to provide new evidence.The study，co­authored by researchers at the University of Michigan and McGill University in Quebec，was published in the journal Demography. “In this study，we see that parents' emotional connection to each other affects children's growth so much that it shapes their children's future，”said co­author and U­M Institute for Social Research researcher William Axinn.“The fact that we found these kinds of things in Nepal moves us to step closer to evidence that these things are 　universal　.” The study uses data from the Chitwan Valley Family Study in Nepal.The survey was launched in 1995，and collected information from 151 neighborhoods in the Western Chitwan Valley.Married couples were interviewed at the same time but separately，and were asked to assess the level of affection they had for their partner.The spouses answered “How much do you love your husband/wife，very much，some，a little，or not at all？” The researchers then followed the children of these parents for 12 years to document their education and marital (婚姻的) behavior.They found that the children of the parents who reported they loved each other either “some” or “very much” stayed in school longer and married later. “A family isn't just another institution.It's not like a school.It is the place where we also have emotions and feelings，” said lead author Sarah Brauner­Otto，director of the Centre on Population Dynamics at McGill University.The researchers say that their next important question will be to identify why parental love impacts children in this way. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明，父母之间的感情程度影响孩子的成长，父母感情好的孩子在校学习时间较长并且结婚晚。 1．Why is the research rarely done about the influence of parents' love on children's lives? A．Because few scientists show passion. B．Because the data are demanding. C．Because evidence is hard to collect. D．Because parents sometimes don't tell the truth. 解析：B　[细节理解题。由第二段中的Research about how the affection between parents shapes their children's long­term life outcomes is rare because the data demands are high可知，这类研究因为数据要求较高而很少。] 2．What does the underlined word “universal” in the third paragraph mean? A．Reasonable.　　　　　 B．Scientific. C．Worldwide. D．Acceptable. 解析：C　[词义猜测题。由画线词所在句The fact that we found these kinds of things in Nepal moves us to step closer to evidence that these things are universal可知，研究人员在尼泊尔发现这些种类的情况的事实促使他们更接近这些情况是普遍存在的证据。故此处 universal与 worldwide 同义，表示“全世界的，普遍的”。故选 C。] 3．What can be learned about the study from Paragraph 4? A．It started in the 19th century. B．It used information from 151 Western countries. C．Couples were interviewed together. D．Couples needed to make an assessment of their closeness degree. 解析：D　[细节理解题。根据文章第四段尤其是and were asked to assess the level of affection they had for their partner可知，夫妇被要求对自己和对方之间的亲近程度作出评价。故 D项符合文意。] 4．Which of the following will Sarah Brauner ­Otto agree with? A．A family is like a school. B．A family really matters. C．Home is the best place. D．All happy families are alike. 解析：B　[推理判断题。由文章最后一段中的A family isn't just another institution.It's not like a school.It is the place where we also have emotions and feelings可推知，Sarah Brauner­Otto 认为家庭很重要，故选 B。] B Being lonely in the crowd might seem ridiculous.But according to a recent survey，the situation is all too common.Loneliness and other anxiety problems－worrying about life's pressures－can even lead to self­murder. An article in China Daily gave no reason for this other than the usual blame on the post­80s generation.According to a high­level official，young people suffering from discouragement are mostly spoiled(宠坏的)and have not been taught to be independent，responsible and express a “thank you”．Well，how do you like that？First，I don't think China's youth are exactly spoiled.They certainly have more things than their parents did，but a lot of money spent on them is for their education including various extra classes. Discouragement and anxiety are now the fastest growing challenges in modern society.We sense a lack of close friends who we can talk to honestly and openly.In 1985，a US study found that one in ten people did not have such a friend.In 2006，it was one in four.It's easy to see the connection between loneliness and discouragement.But what actually causes this increasing loneliness? Surely，with social networking sites we have more friends than ever.But a new study has shown that the more time teenagers spend in front of computers，the less close they are to friends and family，WeChat or QQ may be fun but it lacks meaning，compared to personal connections in the real world. And then there are those endless online games popular with young Chinese but increasingly there are more interesting choices.For example，new sports such as skateboarding are catching on (流行起来) in big cities，as is playing music in a band.These creative hobbies are done in a group and thus friendship can be stronger.Hopefully young people will also be drawn out of the Internet cafes and interactive(互动的) computer games that in fact fail to create a real interactive experience. [语篇解读]　 本文是一篇议论文。身处人群中仍感到孤独已成为一种常态，文章就该现象分析了孤独产生的原因并提供了一些解决方法。 5．It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that ______. A．it's now more difficult for people to find close friends to have an honest chat with B．parents focus mostly on children's education rather than the personality building C．young people have no idea of expressing appreciation because of being spoiled D．teengaers will create a real interactive experience to strengthen friendship 解析：A　[推理判断题。 根据第三段中的We sense a lack of close friends who we can talk to honestly and openly.In 1985，a US study found that one in ten people did not have such a friend.In 2006，it was one in four可知，人们想找到一个知心的朋友畅谈变得越来越难了，故选 A。] 6．What does the writer think of the social networking sites? A．Open but ridiculous. B．Honest and responsible. C．Real and fun. D．Interesting but meaningless. 解析：D　[细节理解题。根据第四段中的WeChat or QQ may be fun but it lacks meaning，compared to personal connections in the real world可知，社交网站可能很有趣，但是并没有什么意义，故选 D。] 7．According to the passage，which of the following can help us avoid being lonely in the crowd? A．To stay long in the Internet cafes. B．To focus on extra courses. C．To give up our own hobbies. D．To play music in a band. 解析：D　[细节理解题。根据最后一段中的For example，new sports such as skateboarding are catching on(流行起来)in big cities，as is playing music in a band可知，在乐队玩音乐是一个在人群中避免孤独的办法，故选 D。] Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Forgiveness To forgive is a virtue，but no one has ever said it is easy.When someone has deeply hurt you，it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate.However，forgiveness is possible，and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.People who forgive show less sadness，anger and stress and more hopefulness，according to a recent research. __1__ Try the following steps： Calm yourself.__2__ You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature，or someone you love. Don't wait for an apology.Many times the person who hurts you does not intend to apologize.He may have wanted to hurt you or just doesn't see things the same way.__3__ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upsets you. Take the control away from your offender (冒犯者)．Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain.Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings，learn to look for the love，beauty and kindness around you. __4__ If you understand your offender，you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness，fear，and even love.You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view. Don't forget to forgive yourself.__5__ But it can rob you of your self­confidence if you don't do it. A．Why should you forgive? B．How should you start to forgive? C．Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. D．Try to see things from your offender's angle. E．For some people，forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge. F．To make your anger die away，try a simple stress­management technique. G．If you wait for people to apologize，you could be waiting an awfully long time. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了宽恕别人和自己的方法。 1．B　[第一段说明了宽恕的意义，空格后的各段介绍了宽恕的具体方法，由此可推断设空处应为一承上启下的过渡句，故选B。] 2．F　[根据段落中心句Calm yourself.和下文的关键信息think of something that gives you pleasure可确定F项(为使你的怒气消失，试试一个简单的压力管理方法。)符合语境。] 3．G　[根据中心句Don't wait for an apology.可知本段讲述不要等道歉，故G项(如果你等别人道歉，你可能要等一段非常长的时间。)符合语境。] 4．D　[根据write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view可确定D项(尽量从你的冒犯者的角度看事情。)符合语境。] 5．E　[根据段落中心句Don't forget to forgive yourself.可知本段主要讲述要宽恕自己，故E项(对有些人来说，宽恕自己是最大的挑战。)符合语境。] 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
