Unit 2 Section Ⅲ Extended reading & Project & Assessment-(配套练习)【精讲精练】2025-2026学年高中英语必修第二册(译林版)

Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2024·全国甲卷)The Saint Lukas train doesn't accept passengers—it accepts only the sick.The Saint Lukas is one of five government­sponsored medical trains that travel to remote towns in central and eastern Russia.Each stop lasts an average of two days，and during that time the doctors and nurses on board provide rural(乡村)populations with basic medical care，X­ray scans and prescriptions. “People started queuing to make an appointment early in the morning，”says Emile Ducke，a German photographer who traveled with the staff of the Saint Lukas for a two­week trip in November through the vast regions(区域)of Krasnoyarsk and Khakassia. Russia's public health care service has been in serious need of modernization.The government has struggled to come up with measures to address the problem，particularly in the poorer，rural areas east of the Volga River，including arranging doctor's appointments by video chat and expanding financial aid programs to motivate doctors to practice medicine in remote parts of the country like Krasnoyarsk. The annual arrival of the Saint Lukas is another attempt to improve the situation.For 10 months every year，the train stops at about eight stations over two weeks，before returning to the regional capital to refuel and restock(补给)．Then it starts all over again the next month.Most stations wait about a year between visits. Doctors see up to 150 patients every day.The train's equipment allows for basic checkups.“I was very impressed by the doctors and their assistants working and living in such little space but still staying focused and very concerned，”says Ducke.“They were the best chance for many rural people to get the treatment they want.” 【语篇解读】　说明文　Saint Lukas列车为俄罗斯一些偏远地区提供医疗服务。 1．How is the Saint Lukas different from other trains? A．It runs across countries. B．It reserves seats for the seniors. C．It functions as a hospital. D．It travels along a river. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Saint Lukas is one of five government­sponsored medical trains”和“doctors and nurses on board provide rural(乡村)populations with basic medical care，X­ray scans and prescriptions”可知，Saint Lukas列车是政府资助的医疗列车，列车上有医生和护士为乡村人口提供基本的医疗等，C项“它的作用相当于一个医院”符合题意。故选C。 2．What can we infer from paragraph 3 about Krasnoyarsk? A．It is heavily populated. B．It offers training for doctors. C．It is a modern city. D．It needs medical aid. 解析　D　推理判断题。第三段首句提到俄罗斯的公共医疗服务急需现代化。再结合第三段中的“address the problem，particularly in the poorer，rural areas...arranging doctor's appointments...motivate doctors to practice medicine in remote parts of the country like Krasnoyarsk”可以推知，Krasnoyarsk是俄罗斯一个贫穷的、医疗条件比较差的偏远乡村，D项“它需要医疗援助”符合题意。故选D。 3．How long can the Saint Lukas work with one supply? A．About a year. B．About ten months. C．About two months. D．About two weeks. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“For 10 months every year，the train stops at about eight stations over two weeks，before returning to the regional capital to refuel and restock(补给)．”可知，该列车每年有十个月都会进行这样的工作：在大约八个站点停留两周多，然后返回补充燃料和补给。因此，该列车一次补给可以工作两周左右，故选D。 4．What is Ducke's attitude toward the Saint Lukas' services? A．Appreciative.　　　 B．Doubtful. C．Ambiguous. D．Cautious. 解析　A　观点态度题。根据最后一段中 Ducke 的话“I was very impressed”和“They were the best chance for many rural people to get the treatment they want.”可知，Ducke 对 Saint Lukas列车服务的态度是赞赏的。故选A。 Ⅱ.语法填空 What will most help you lead a long happy and healthy life?

(make) lots of money for education, medical care, houses and cars. For many of us, self­worth is linked to our 3. (profession) success or failure.

He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he had never seen, the girl with a rose. His interest in her began thirteen months ago in a library. Taking a book off the shelf, he found himself fascinated, not with the words of the book，but with the notes penciled in the margin (页边的空白). The soft handwriting showed a thoughtful soul and brilliant mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he found her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond (通信). The next day he was shipped overseas for military service. During the next year and one month, the two begun to know each other by mail. Each letter was a seed falling on both hearts. A romance was budding. Blanchard asked for a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting — 7 pm at the Grand Central Station in New York. “You'll recognize me，” she wrote. “By the red rose I'll wear my dress.” So at 7：00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd never seen. A young lady was coming toward him. Her figure was long and slim; her blonde hair lay back from her ears; her eyes were blue as flowers; her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime coming alive. He went toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As he moved, a middle­aged woman whispered, “Going my way, Sir？” 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Almost uncontrollably he made his way to the woman, and then he noticed that she was wearing a red rose. The woman's face broadened into a big smile. 【参考范文】 Almost uncontrollably he made his way to the woman, and then he noticed that she was wearing a red rose. John Blanchard was disappointed to see the woman, who was over 40 years old. Exactly, she was the girl he was waiting for. Though he would like to follow the young lady, he stopped and walked toward the woman, greeted her and held out the book he found in the library.“I'm John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Hollis Maynell. I am more than glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner？” The woman's face broadened into a big smile. “I don't know what this is about，”she answered, “but the young lady in her pale green suit who just went by begged me to wear the red rose on my coat. And she said if you were going to invite me to dinner, I should tell you that she is waiting for you in the restaurant across the street. She said it was a test！” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
