课时作业(十三) Unit 3 Section Ⅰ
Ⅰ.阅读理解
If you're reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The ohohs(00后).The 21st century. That would make you young,creative, connected, global,and no doubt smart. Maybe goodlooking,too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?
Some adults worry that you're more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the“facedown generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends,and family. Are today's teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies(自拍) to become successful in real lifeor“IRL”, as you would say?
Other adults worry that today's youth are spoilt(宠坏的) and don't want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” who were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and afterclass activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With partners who do everything for them, today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the facedown generation need a headsup?Well,probably not. The fact is that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic(热情的) and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai,the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school.
So if you're one of the ohohs,there's reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the facedown generation. Chances are that you will do GR8(great) and LOL(laugh out loud).
【语篇解读】 这是一篇议论文,论述了成年人对于00后的担忧。作者认为00后受过更好的教育,更有创造力,也能关爱他人,对他们的未来充满了希望。
1.Today's teenagers are thought of as the facedown generation because ________.
A.they are busy texting
B.they use their phones a lot
C.they deal with school and family with their phones
D.they become successful with their phones
解析:B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They think of you as the“facedown generation” because you use your phone so much...”(他们认为你们是“脸朝下的一代”,因为你们经常使用手机。)可知,之所有被称为“脸朝下的一代”是因为他们是经常使用手机的一代。故选B项。
2.What does “helicopter parents” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Parents who prefer to live like teenagers.
B.Parents who often fly everywhere for their business.
C.Parents who do dancing, drawing or sports with their children.
D.Parents who always guide and help children with homework and extracurricular activities.
解析:D 词义猜测题。根据第三段中关于helicopter parents后定语从句的描述“...who were always there to guide and help their children with a busy schedule filled with homework and afterclass activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports.”(他们总是在那里指导和帮助孩子完成繁忙的家庭作业和课外活动,如舞蹈、绘画或体育。)由此可知“helicopter parents”就是指那些总是照顾和指引自己孩子的那些父母。故选D项。
3.What does the writer think about the facedown generation?
A.They are annoyed.
B.They are powerful.
C.They are spoilt.
D.They are positive.
解析:D 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Does the facedown generation need a headsup?Well,probably not. The fact is that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic(热情的)and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai,the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school.”(“脸朝下的一代”需要提醒吗?好吧,也许不是。事实是,今天的许多青少年比过去几代人受到了更好的教育,也更有创造力。他们似乎也很热情,愿意成为领导者。越来越多的年轻人自愿帮助他们的社区。还有一些勇敢的年轻人,比如Malala Yousafzai,她因推动女孩上学权利而获得2014年诺贝尔和平奖。)可知,作者认为“脸朝下的一代”是充满正能量的。作者对他们的看法是积极的。故选D项。
4.What's the best title of this passage?
A.The facedown generation
B.The young generation
C.The generation gap
D.The future generation
解析:A 主旨大意题。文章第一段最后一句提出“But what do other people think about your generation?”(但是其他人怎么看你们这一代人呢?)后,下文论述了成年人对于00后的种种担忧,认为他们经常使用手机,称他们是“脸朝下”的一代,也担心“直升机父母”将他们宠坏了。作者认为00后受过更好的教育,更有创造力,也能关爱他人,对他们的未来充满希望。因此文章是讨论关于00后的不同的看法。所以短文的最佳标题为“脸朝下的一代”。故选A项。
Ⅱ.阅读填句
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。
Lifelong learning is the idea that learning keeps going through our daily experiences throughout our lives. It can be quite useful to us. However, to form a habit of lifelong learning is not easy. We need to train our brain to develop lifelong learning.__1__
Create an aim for your learning.
__2__ But having an aim in mind truly does help a lot. For example, maybe your aim is to reduce your stress levels or find different ways to relax. Having an aim not only makes the learning beneficial but gives it a purpose.
__3__
If lifelong learning has not been your “thing” trying to eat this learning elephant in one bite makes it more difficult to stick with it.__4__ For example, instead of struggling to read 100 pages in a book very day, why not start with 15 minutes, two or three time a week? After you have made that small habit into place, you can then add to it.
Make it fun.
If learning is a chore or becomes a chore, the act of doing it obviously decreases.__5__ For example, for every new learning opportunity you take, give yourself some reward.Give yourself a gold star. Make learning a game. Whatever is going to make learning fun for you, make sure that you experience the fun!
A.Start small.
B.Stick with it!
C.That may sound funny.
D.That must to meaningful.
E.Have some fun with your learning.
F.Here are some simple ways to help you.
G.Breaking down the learning into bitesized pieces helps.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些可以帮助养成终身学习习惯的方法。
1.F 根据上文“Lifelong learning is the idea that learning keeps going through our daily experiences throughout our lives. It can be quite useful to us. However, to form a habit of lifelong learning is not easy. We need to train our brain to develop lifelong learning.(终身学习是指学习贯穿于我们的日常生活中。它对我们很有用。然而,养成终身学习的习惯并不容易。我们需要训练我们的大脑来发展终身学习。)”可知,终身学习很有用,因此接下来要介绍一些可以帮助养成终身学习习惯的方法。F项:Here are some simple ways to help you.(这里有一些简单的方法可以帮助你。)能够承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
2.C 根据下文“But having an aim in mind truly does help a lot.(但是心中有一个目标确实很有帮助。)”可知,下文提到了有目标的重要性,空处和下文形成转折关系,说明有些人可能会觉得为学习设定一个目标很可笑。C项:That may sound funny.(这听起来可能很可笑。)符合语境。故选C。
3.A 空处为段落小标题。根据下文“After you have made that small habit into place, you can then add to it.(当你养成了这个小习惯之后,你就可以添加它了。)”可知,本段主要讲述要从小事开始坚持终身学习。A项:Start small.(从小事做起。)符合语境。故选A。
4.G 根据下文“For example, instead of struggling to read 100 pages in a book very day, why not start with 15 minutes, two or three time a week? After you have made that small habit into place, you can then add to it.(例如,与其每天努力读100页书,为什么不从每周读两三次,每次15分钟开始呢?当你养成了这个小习惯之后,你就可以添加它了。)”可知,空处表达的观点是要把学习分解成小块。G项:Breaking down the learning into bitesized pieces helps.(把学习分解成小块会有帮助。)符合语境。故选G。
5.E 根据段落小标题“Make it fun.(使它有趣。)”可知,本段的关键词是“fun”。E项:Have some fun with your learning.(在学习中找到乐趣。)符合语境。故选E。
Ⅲ.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。续写的词数应为150左右。
One winter Sunday,my little sister,Colleen,and I built the greatest snowman ever.We gave him a carrot nose,beautiful hat,cozy scarf and gloves.He was a masterpiece (杰作).
The next morning when looking outside,we smiled lovingly at him over our meal.We gave him a highfive as we passed by on our way to school.A lot of kids went past our house,so he was the hot topic at our school that morning.It was our pride!
The day dragged on until finally we could rush home.But as our yard came into sight,we saw something wrong.The snowman was gone! We only found a broken stick here,a torn glove there and balls of snow everywhere.Worst of all,the snowman's onceproud carrot nose lay limp (无力的) and halfeaten.
What had happened?We were both astonished and angry.But then,we were only kids,who wouldn't have anything taking away our happiness.Actually we knew only one thing: Our snowman would rise again.And so we rebuilt him.
The next day we came home to find another mess on the front lawn (草坪).For the rest of the week,the destruction was repeated daily.Each afternoon we'd return to find our snowman had fallen apart,and then we built again.
By Saturday morning,we had a plan.We borrowed a really big bucket (水桶) from Mom,filled it with water and left it outside.The next morning,it was frozen solid.We packed snow all around the ice block as the base (底座) of the snowman.Then we built the other parts of it once again.The trap was set,and we waited for the snowman bullies (破坏者) to come.

【参考范文】
Paragraph 1:
On_Monday_morning,hiding_behind_the_window,we_soon_saw_what_we_were_waiting_for.It turned out that there were three of them from our school.They sneaked up on our snowman and sneered.Taking their places on either side,they pulled back their legs to deliver powerful kicks.But the moment they hit the hard ice block of the base,sneers turned into shock,then agony and tears.They howled and cursed,gritting their teeth and stomping their feet.
Paragraph 2:
Seeing_their_pained_look,we_couldn't_help_laughing.They were too funny as they hopped away holding their damaged feet.We just couldn't contain our happiness and excitement.With a hearty laugh,we came out of hiding and sprang into the yard from inside the house.“An eye for an eye! Justice done!”We yelled behind them.And that was the end of our problems with the snow bullies.Ever since then,our snowman was kept guarded and intact until it happily melted into spring water and finally wove into our sweetest childhood memories.
