Section 2　 “Living in a Community”的课文习读环节 [课时检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A I'm Vasco Salazar, a thirteen-year-old living in a coastal town in Portugal, where many make their living from fishing.My father, Paulo, is a fisherman, as were generations before him.Fishing is in my blood.I often wonder about my future: Will I become a fisherman like my father, or will I pursue my dream of studying at university? I already help with the nets and catch, and my cousin Alfonso, who is nineteen, shares thrilling ocean adventure tales.My parents say he makes these stories more exciting to impress and encourage me to follow in his footsteps. Fishing is hard and dangerous work, they warn.You spend your days wet, salty, and smelling of fish.“Explore different possibilities before deciding your path，” my father advises.“You were named after Vasco da Gama, the explorer who made Portugal a sea-trading power.Seek your own path.” Last week, as we waited for the fishing boats to return after a week at sea, the weather was calm and clear.When my father's boat arrived, Alfonso and I pulled in the nets, heavy with a week's worth of fish.Later, I helped my mother prepare a fish soup for dinner. The following day, my father sent me to ask Carlos, the lighthouse keeper, about the weather.From his high viewpoint, Carlos has a keen understanding of the weather and life.He greeted me warmly, eager for company.“I want to be a fisherman，” I told Carlos, “but I also love learning.Maybe I'd be good at teaching or something else.” Carlos gestured broadly to the horizon.“It's a big world with many opportunities.If you choose fishing now, you might limit yourself and miss out on education.Explore your options.Fishing will always be here.” We fell silent, and I asked about the weather.“When you can see the westernmost islands from here，” Carlos explained, “rain is coming.” Sure enough, fat raindrops soon began to fall. After the storm, we searched the beach for washed-up treasures.Among the seaweed and debris, I found a chain with a compass.“Look！” Alfonso shouted.“A compass! Now Vasco can explore the world.” In that moment, I realized Carlos was right.I could always return to fishing, but the world was waiting for me to explore. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了少年Vasco在继承家族捕鱼事业与追求个人梦想之间的矛盾心理及成长探索过程。 1．What does Vasco mean when he says fishing is in his blood? A．He enjoys eating fish. B．He has natural talent for fishing. C．Fishing is his family tradition. D．He spends a lot of time near water. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第一段中“My father, Paulo, is a fisherman, as were generations before him.Fishing is in my blood.”可知，Vasco的父亲以及他之前的几代人都是渔夫，所以捕鱼是他的家族传统。 2．Why does Vasco's father tell him he was named after Vasco da Gama? A．To make fun of his first name. B．To persuade him to explore his own future. C．To help him feel more important than Alfonso. D．To teach him a lesson in the history of Portugal. 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第二段中“‘Explore different possibilities before deciding your path，’ my father advises.‘You were named after Vasco da Gama, the explorer who made Portugal a sea-trading power.Seek your own path.’ ”可知，Vasco da Gama经过探索，让葡萄牙成为海上贸易强国。Vasco的父亲提到Vasco da Gama是为了说服他探索自己的未来。 3．Which is most likely to happen in the future? A．Carlos will warn Vasco about the dangers of the sea. B．Alfonso will quit fishing and become a lighthouse keeper. C．Vasco's family will leave Portugal. D．Vasco will go to the university. 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第一段中“I often wonder about my future: Will I become a fisherman like my father, or will I pursue my dream of studying at university? ”以及最后一段中“In that moment, I realized Carlos was right.I could always return to fishing, but the world was waiting for me to explore.”可知，Vasco在犹豫是否要去上大学，但在最后一段中他意识到世界在等着他去探索，尽管他可以回去捕鱼，但他可能会选择去上大学探索其他的机会，因此Vasco最有可能去上大学。 4．Which of the following is the main conflict in this story? A．Familiar against unfamiliar. B．Man against nature. C．Old against young.

Your response is probably “none of them”. What kind of parent would choose one child as his or her favorite? The truth might be surprising to you. Years of research supports what many have suspected — most parents have a favorite child. Studies have explored reasons from birth order to gender (性别) and shared interests. Yet even with years of research that supports this idea, most parents tend to deny the fact that they have a favorite child. Even if there is no obvious parental favorite among siblings (兄弟姐妹), studies have shown that children often feel preferential treatment of their sibling by their parents. Favoritism often results in family conflicts and feelings of sadness among family members whether parents' favoritism is real or only felt. Thus both the kids and their parents tend to be plagued by the favoritism. The question isn't whether or not you have a favorite child, since it's pretty clear that many parents do. Typically, favoritism has little to do with loving one child more. It is more about how your personality resonates (产生共鸣) with one child's personality more than the others'. Essentially, it's a question of “like”. Still, why is it so hard for us to admit that one of our children might be our favorite? Some parents might worry about harming their children emotionally or psychologically. Some parents confuse liking one child's personality with the love they show to each child. However, when recognizing that you might hold preferential feelings towards one child you are taking an important step towards creating a better relationship with all of your children. Instead of denying the fact, you can reflect on how you relate to each of your children. Examining your feelings towards each of your children can provide a greater insight into your own personality and how you function in relationships — and in fact, how you consider your children might reflect more about your thoughts and feelings of yourself than them. Increased awareness about your inner world can help you build and keep healthier relationships with your children. 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了父母对子女的偏爱现象，探讨了造成这种现象的原因以及对家庭动态和个人关系可能产生的影响。 5．How do most parents respond to the result of the research? A．They're quite concerned about it. B．They're unwilling to admit it. C．They're sensitive to it. D．They're regretful about it. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段的“Yet even with years of research that supports this idea, most parents tend to deny the fact that they have a favorite child.”可知，大多数家长不愿意承认他们有一个偏爱的孩子。 6．What does the underlined word “plagued” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Encouraged.　　　　　 B．Troubled. C．Separated. D．Confused. 解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据第二段的“Favoritism often results in family conflicts ... both the kids and their parents tend to be plagued by the favoritism.”可知，不管偏爱是否真实存在，家庭成员之间都很容易出现不和谐，即他们会受到偏爱的困扰，因此画线词意为“困扰”，与B项词义相近。 7．According to the text, why do parents have a favorite child? A．The child is worth more love. B．The child has a good personality. C．The child has more in common with them. D．The child knows how to please them. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段的“Typically, favoritism has little to do with loving one child more. It is more about how your personality resonates with one child's personality more than the others'.”可知，父母有偏爱的孩子是因为这个孩子和他们有更多的共同点。 8．What would be the best title for the text? A．Is it OK to have a favorite child? B．What kind of kids do parents prefer? C．How can parents get along well with children? D．Why do parents treat their kids differently? 解析：选A　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要讨论了父母对子女的偏爱现象，探讨了造成这种现象的原因以及对家庭动态和个人关系可能产生的影响。故A项适合作文章标题。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Most of us have some resistance to conflict.Instead of dealing with issues directly, we try to be “nice” and end up spending lots of time talking to ourselves or others — complaining, feeling upset, thinking something that already happened over and over again.__9__ Your health and self-esteem (自尊) may suffer and you think that you're a victim.Below are three tips. ·Speak objectively and make requests You should use observations instead of labels.For example, in the case of the direct report, he or she is likely to be unhappy if you say, “I need to talk to you about how badly you come off in the meeting.” Instead, talk about what you observed: “I noticed in the last meeting your body language changed and you reacted strongly when the speaker said something wrong.I'd love to discuss how you could share your concerns in a better way.” __10__ ·Keep a calm behavior __11__ But it doesn't.You can be yourself and remain kind, fair, and calm in these situations by being clear, focusing on the essence of the conflict, and making a request to ensure your problem is solved. · __12__ Like any muscle you build, it takes practice before you can improve your abilities.__13__ In the process of reflection, please ask yourself: What caused my anxiety and why does this feel personal? What request am I not making? Then, take action. A．Start with baby steps. B．But this can have serious costs. C．Therefore, this action is bad for your health. D．Then you can go further and ask for improvement. E．Start with easier situations first and reflect how to address the conflict. F．Try to do as many things as possible at once, and do each one perfectly. G．People who shy away from conflict often think that it has to look aggressive. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了面对冲突时，大多数人选择逃避而不是直接解决，但逃避冲突可能会付出严重的代价，如损害健康和自尊。 9．解析：选B　上文指出逃避冲突的行为，下文提到逃避的结果是健康和自尊会受损。故B项(但这可能会付出严重的代价)承上启下，符合语境。 10．解析：选D　上文举例说明如何客观表达并做出请求，即先描述观察到的情况，然后提出希望对方改进的方面。故D项(然后你可以进一步要求改进)承接上文，符合语境。 11．解析：选G　根据下文可知，该句与空处构成转折关系，指出虽然面对冲突时人们可能会认为必须表现得有攻击性，但实际上并非如此，人们可以保持冷静和理智。故G项(回避冲突的人往往认为它必须看起来有攻击性)符合语境，且其中“aggressive”与后一句中的“kind, fair, and calm”形成对比。 12．解析：选A　空处为本段小标题。根据下文可知，本段讲述的是我们可以从小事做起，慢慢练习如何解决冲突。故A项(从小事做起)是本段内容的概括，与本段内容相一致。 13．解析：选E　下文提到在反思的过程中，我们应该问的问题，然后采取行动。故E项(先从简单的情况开始，并反思如何解决冲突)符合语境，选项中的“start”和下文的“Then”构成顺承关系，“reflect”也和下文的“In the process of reflection”相呼应。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
