周周练2-【优学精讲】2026-2027学年高中英语选择性必修二同步课件（北师大版）

周周练2 1 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2026·合肥高二期中)Kids today have access to a whole range of technology that their parents couldn't have even dreamed would ever exist.They've become skilled in using smartphones far quicker than us older generations and have easily taken to the commands of today's speakers. 周周练 But it seems that their understanding of some “old” technology is not so comprehensive. A new study, conducted by Explore Learning, presented a group of 10-year-old schoolchildren with pictures of classroom items that were commonplace in their parents' generation. More than two thirds had no idea what the overhead projector was called, while 72% couldn't guess what it was even used for.Guessing at its purpose, they threw out ideas like “eye machine” and “walkie talkie”， with some saying it might be used “at the dentist” or “for experimenting”． 周周练 The confusion continued when they were presented with an old boombox (音箱) radio.One child shouted, “Imagine if you had this boombox and you were just carrying it around all day listening to music! That would be, like...harder！” Another excitedly called out to the old radio, “Hey, play Roar by Katy Perry.” 周周练 Commenting on the research, Amandeep Sanghera, Head of Maths and English at Explore Learning, said, our “Back to School Rewind” survey has uncovered a fascinating—and often hilarious—general gap. It's remarkable to see just how quickly classroom technology develops.Items that were everyday essentials (必需品) for parents have become mysterious relics to their children in just two or three decades. 周周练 “This old-school tech might be gathering dust in the cupboard now, but it really shows how quickly things can change in our classrooms.It's not just chalk that confuse today's tech-savvy (精通科技的) kids—even the overhead projector is now a puzzling thing from the past！” “While it's amusing to see children puzzle over these outdated technologies, it's also a reminder of the incredible opportunities modern tech offers in classrooms，” Amandeep Sanghera added. 周周练 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“探索学习”组织进行了一项新研究，研究表明小学生对父母那一代司空见惯的课堂技术感到困惑，这一现象显示出了科技的巨大进步。 周周练 1．What is the aim of paragraph 1? A．To offer the background knowledge. B．To prove children's high intelligence. C．To bring up the topic of the passage. D．To encourage and attract more readers. 解析：推理判断题。根据前两段内容可知，文章在首段指出孩子们精通现代科技，然后在第二段指出他们却不了解他们的父母在上学时所使用的科技，由此可推知，首段的目的是引出话题。 √ 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 周周练 2．How might the kids react to the school tech their parents used? A．Uninterested.　　 B．Puzzled. C．Disappointed. D．Proud. 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“More than two thirds...what it was even used for.”可知，孩子们不了解父母上学时候使用的科技，教学设备及其用途，由此可推知，他们是感到困惑的。 √ 4 5 6 7 8 2 3 1 周周练 3．What does the underlined word “hilarious” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Rare. B．Lasting. C．Abnormal. D．Funny. 解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“The confusion continued...an old boombox radio.”以及第五段中的fascinating和remarkable可推知，孩子和家长之间在技术上的这种代沟是有趣的，画线词和funny的意义最为接近。 √ 4 5 6 7 8 2 3 1 周周练 4．What did the survey show? A．The wide use of advanced technology. B．The different ideas of kids and parents. C．The kids' interest in advanced technology. D.The rapid development of classroom technology. 解析：细节理解题。根据第六段中的“This old-school tech...can change in our classrooms.”可知，这个调查显示了近几十年来课堂科技的飞速发展。 √ 4 5 6 7 8 2 3 1 周周练 B   (2026·菏泽高二期末)Despite predictions that the Internet would kill it, the printed guidebook is proving hard-to-kill. They declared that it was dead—or, if it wasn't dead yet, it soon would be. The cause of the pessimism was viral: first blogs, and then influencers on social media platforms. 周周练 Frommer's, the grandfather of American guidebooks, was sold in 2012 for $22 million to an Internet company, which reportedly planned to end the series' print run. The following year Arthur Frommer, its founder, bought the company back. Another example, Lonely Planet, the best-known publisher, has been through several owners at ever-lower valuations. 周周练 Yet, for all journalists' poor predictions, the guidebook is still robust. Sales in Britain were mostly flat in 2014-2019, a period when smartphones became both popular and powerful. In 2021, Americans bought 5.8 million guidebooks and maps—up from 4 million in 2020. Why do guidebooks still roll off the presses when all the information you could need is in your pocket? 周周练 One answer is that print is a useful medium for information on the go. Books can be scribbled (乱涂乱画) on and dog-eared; they need no charging or Internet access. They can be easier to browse than social media, websites or e-books. Another is that guidebooks have changed with the times. Rick Steves, the author of America's bestselling guides to European destinations, published his first guidebook 44 years ago. He still personally researches many of his books, which offer a lot of information in small type. His publishers, being more business-minded, also produce pocket guides, which take those tips and enliven them with photographs. 周周练 Younger travellers are more likely to organize their own plans, relying on digital resources rather than books. Artificial intelligence is another challenge on the way. Like a good guide, AI's promise is that it can do the boring research and produce a summary. Frommer's, for its part, experimented with using AI to offer tailor-made answers to travellers' questions, but found that it was making things up too often to be useful. Nothing makes a traveller reach for their trusty guidebook more than an impractical tip. 周周练 【解题导语】　 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了尽管互联网和智能手机已普及，纸质旅游指南依然顽强存在的现象。 周周练 5．What can we learn about Frommer's and Lonely Planet? A．They're no longer on sale. B．They're becoming influential online. C．They're infected with a deadly virus. D．They're facing a challenging situation. 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，Frommer's和Lonely Planet分别经历了被出售和估值下降的情况，说明它们面临着严峻的挑战。 √ 4 5 6 7 8 2 3 1 周周练 6．What does the underlined word “robust” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Strong. B．Dead. C．Rich. D．Fashionable. 解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Yet, for all journalists' poor predictions... up from 4 million in 2020.”可知，虽然在2014至2019年期间，智能手机变得流行，但是在此期间英国的纸质旅游指南销量基本持平，2021年美国人购买纸质旅游指南和地图的数目高于2020年，说明纸质旅游指南的销售依然强劲。由此可推知，画线词意为“强劲的”。 √ 4 5 6 7 8 2 3 1 周周练 7．Which aspect of guidebooks does paragraph 4 focus on? A．Their authors. B．Their advantages. C．Their materials. D．Their producers. 解析：段落大意题。根据第四段中的“One answer is that print is a useful medium... Another is that guidebooks have changed with the times.”可知，本段主要讨论了纸质旅游指南在数字时代的优势，如可随意标注和翻阅、无需充电或连接网络、易于浏览等。 √ 4 5 6 7 8 2 3 1 周周练 8．What does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph? A．Guidebooks remain reliable. B．The tips AI provides are practical. C．Digital books are more promising. D．AI answers travellers' questions properly. 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，纸质旅游指南仍然因其可靠性和实用性而受到旅行者的青睐。 √ 4 5 6 7 8 2 3 1 周周练 Ⅱ.七选五 (2026·日照高二期中)The Comfort Zone describes the psychological conflict between the desperate desire for growth and the fundamental need for safety and predictability. Psychologists describe it as a mental state in which people stick to well-practiced routines to achieve a steady, though not remarkable performance without feeling stressed or anxious. 1.__________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ D.This concept highlights the dilemma between safety and progress. 1．D　解析：上文定义了“舒适区”的核心——冲突性与具体表现，空处需要总结该概念核心内涵的句子。D项符合语境。 周周练 So how does this conflicting behavior show up in real life? 2.____________________________________________________________ We may avoid applying for a promotion, or hesitate to learn a new language.

Although these patterns may reduce temporary stress and anxiety, they often come at the cost of limiting exposure to valuable, growing experiences essential for personal advancement. B．Such tendencies are often rooted in the early years. 4．B　解析：下文分析了“回避模式(即舒适区行为)的成因——青春期形成，成年后固化”。空处需要点明“舒适区行为根源”的总起句。B项符合语境。 周周练 In summary, the human drive for growth pulls us toward new experiences, even when uncertainty causes discomfort. Unlike animals that rely purely on instinct (本能), humans possess the ability to reflect and choose. 5._______________________________________________ ______________________ Therefore, by mindfully and courageously expanding our boundaries in a structured and intentional manner, we can go all out to achieve a delicate yet rewarding balance—enjoying the security of a foundation while reaching for the growth that lies just beyond. G．We have the power to assess situations and decide when to stretch our limits. 5．G　解析：上文强调人类具备反思选择的独特能力；下文给出“拓展边界”的具体建议。空处需要衔接“反思选择能力”与“拓展边界建议”的句子。G项符合语境。 周周练 A．Whether should we stay in comfort zone or not? B．Such tendencies are often rooted in the early years. C．However, recent relevant studies challenge this view. D.This concept highlights the dilemma between safety and progress. E．Many individuals recall moments of unease when facing challenges. F．These experiences lead to a lasting unwillingness to take risks later in life. G．We have the power to assess situations and decide when to stretch our limits. 周周练 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕“舒适区”这一心理学概念展开。首先定义舒适区；接着分析舒适区行为的成因；最后强调人类具备反思选择能力，鼓励有策略地突破舒适区以实现平衡。 周周练 Ⅲ.完形填空 (2026·茂名高二质检)Attending a new school can be a big challenge for any student. _____________， for 15-year-old Sergio Peralta, he found a group of innovative students who _____________ his life.
