课时作业(13) Unit 4 Period 1（Word练习）-【金榜题名】2025-2026学年高二英语选择性必修第四册高中同步学案（人教版）

课时作业(十三)　Unit 4　Period 1 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Before I turned 10, I lost my parents. I lived alone in a room that a family member allowed me to use rent­free. To support myself, I began to deliver newspapers. I would be up every morning by 5 am and walk five kilometers to the newspaper office. By 6 am，I would collect 50 copies of Manzil. After distributing (分发) the copies, I would rush home－another 3 kilometers－quickly eat and be off to high school. One winter morning in 1945, I got home after my deliveries to find a boy of my age at my doorstep. He introduced himself as Afzal and said his father wanted to see me. I was greeted at the door by Afzal's mother, Naseem. She served tea and snacks as Afzal's father, Mr. Kader, joined us. She gently asked me about my daily routine. I told her about my morning job. Later, as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mr. Kader asked me to wait. Naseem asked me，“How many miles do you walk every day？” “A little more than six，” I replied. My reply shocked her. I saw Mr. Kader wheeling a new bicycle. “This is for you！” he said. It_took_a_few_seconds_for_the_love_to_sink_in. I didn't realize tears were rolling down my face. Mr. Kader said, “Your newspaper editor is a friend of mine. He gave me your address, so I knew you lived close by. Then Afzal told us more about you.” I bowed，gratefully, shook hands with Afzal and left. This time I did not have to walk－I had the bicycle. The bicycle saved my life for many years thereafter and taught me a lifelong lesson: Help should always be need­based. Never try to feed a person who is dying of thirst. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。作者失去父母，以送报为生，Mr. Kader送给他一辆自行车，教给他一生铭记的教训：帮助应该始终以需要为基础。永远不要试图喂一个将要渴死的人。 1．What difficulty did the author have when he delivered the newspaper? A．His bike is too broken to use. B．He had no money to rent a room. C．He did have enough time to school. D．It is a long way to deliver newspapers. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段“...five kilometers... another 3 kilometers”可知，送报要走很长的路，这是作者送报时遇到的困难。 2．From the underlined sentence we can know the author was ________． A．confused　　　　 B．uninterested C．moved D．satisfied 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据画线句子可知，对于Mr. Kader一家对作者的关爱，作者花了几秒钟才理解，所以作者一时间很困惑。 3．How did Mr. Kader get to know about the author? A．From his friend. B．From newspaper. C．From his neighbors. D．From the author's teacher. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据倒数第三段第一句中的“‘Your newspaper editor is a friend of mine. He gave me your address...close by...’”可知，Mr. Kader是通过他的朋友了解了作者的情况。 4．What lesson did the author get according to the last paragraph? A．Do whatever you can to help others. B．Know what others need when giving help. C．Helping should avoid hurting other's feelings. D．You should be grateful for whoever helps you. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据最后一段“...Help should always be need­based.”可知，作者通过这件事情懂得了：帮助别人要先了解别人需要什么。 B “You can use me as a last resort (选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids' lacrosse(长曲棍球) club. I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug_at_the_heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on...At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, “Alright. Yes, I'll do it.” I'm secretly relieved because I know there's real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end­of­season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal. Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community (社区) as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good. In that sense, I'm pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I'd freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies? 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文中讲述了作者成功说服了一个家长参加志愿者团队，并且这位家长后来成为这个团队中有力的帮手，同时作者在参与志愿者活动过程中也获得了很多快乐。 5．What can we infer about the parent from her reply in Paragraph 1? A．She knows little about the club. B．She isn't good at sports. C．She just doesn't want to volunteer. D．She's unable to meet her schedule. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“You can use me as a last resort (选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it.”可知，这位家长说如果其他人都不愿意做志愿者的工作，她会做这份工作，作者可以把她当作最后的备选，也就是她不愿意做志愿者的工作。故选C。 6．What does the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Encourage teamwork. B．Appeal to feelings. C．Promote good deeds. D．Provide advice. 解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据划线前句“She may just need a little persuading.”和下面的一句话“I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on ...”可知，作者为了劝服这位家长，举了两个例子。故可知，划线句在此处应是“煽情”之意。故选B。 7．What can we learn about the parent from Paragraph 3? A．She gets interested in lacrosse. B．She is proud of her kids. C．She'll work for another season. D．She becomes a good helper. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第三段中这位家长做出的贡献及“the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team.”可知，她最终成为了志愿者队伍中重要的一员，也就是说，她成了一个好帮手。故选D。 8．Why does the author like doing volunteer work? A．It gives her a sense of duty. B．It makes her very happy. C．It enables her to work hard. D．It brings her material rewards. 解析：选B　细节理解题。题干问作者为什么喜欢做志愿者工作。根据第四段最后两句“Connecting to the community (社区) as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.”可知，为社区做贡献可以带来真正的快乐，参加志愿者活动能让人感觉快乐。故选B。 Ⅱ.七选五 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。 It was the 2015 “super storm” in New South Wales that restored my faith in people.

Trent then grabbed a blanket from his garage and covered my car”可知，“我”告诉Trent“我”担心冰雹会砸坏“我”的车，他便从车库里拿了条毯子盖住“我”的车；结合常识和语境可推知，他全身湿透，但是并不介意，故G项符合语境。 4．解析：选F　根据空处前一句“By 11：00 a．m., the electricity and phone services had both gone”可知，上午十一点时，电力和电话服务都中断了；据此可推知，“我”无法联系上父母，尽管“我”知道他们很担心我，故F项符合语境。 5．解析：选B　根据空处前一句“When the hail stopped, I shook Trent's hand and kissed Kayti goodbye”可知，冰雹停了，“我”和Trent握手，和Kayti吻别；结合上文叙述的Trent对“我”的帮助可推知，“我”对他们的帮助表示感谢，这对夫妻非常谦逊，故B项符合语境。 Ⅲ.语法填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Giving is the greatest kindness.
