课时跟踪练（十）Warming Up & Reading Prereading.阅读理解AEDMONTON, CANADA The Etzio is one of the oldest buildings in one of the citys oldest neighbourhoods, but its set to be knocked down.Edmontonians are hoping more can be done to preserve (保留) more of the citys history.“The reason the area is popular in the first place is because its a historic neighbourhood. And I think its important that we preserve that history，” said Mark Wilson, owner of Vivid Print, a shop on Whyte Avenue at 103 Street.Wilsons business is located in a building two doors down from the Etzio, a building that is more than a century old. But after 117 years on Whyte Avenue, the building is coming down to make way for a new threefloor development.“It has become acceptable to simply pull down old buildings and put up new buildings that look old，” said Wilson. “The words on the sidewalks here say historic area. Well, its not historic if all the buildings are 10 years old.”Its a move that disappoints Wilson and others on the street who believe more should be done to keep the character of Edmonton.“I think in this area its important because it keeps the flavour of Edmonton, and Edmonton is known for Whyte Ave.，” said a woman on Saturday afternoon.“Some of the old culture should still be there, I think，” added a man who was walking along the street. “It makes Edmonton unique (独一无二的). Without it,_it just becomes another mall or it could be any other city in the world.”Wilson looking fondly at the old building believes a little piece of history is lost with every building thats torn down.After the Etzio building is torn down, the Old Strathcona Hotel and the Ross building will be the only two buildings left from the 1800s.语篇解读：本文是一则新闻报道。古建筑面临拆除，市民多有不舍。1Why does Wilson consider the Etzio important?AIt helps him develop his business.BHis neighbours live there.CIts a symbol of history.DHis shop is inside it.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“because its a historic neighbourhood”可知，Wilson认为Etzio重要是因为它是有着100多年悠久历史的古建筑，是历史的见证。2In Wilsons eyes, what will be done to the city is _.AacceptableBpopularCunpleasant Dstrange解析：选C推理判断题。根据第四段Wilson说的话和第五段中的“Its a move that disappoints Wilson”可以推测，Wilson对于拆除Etzio这一做法感到不愉快。3What does the underlined word “it” in the text refer to?AThe Etzio building. BThe old culture.CEdmonton. DThe street.解析：选B代词指代题。倒数第三段中连续出现了四个代词it；我们先来分析第一个it：It makes Edmonton unique，这句中的It指代上一句中的Some of the old culture；接着的这句Without it, it just becomes another mall or it could be any other city in the world中的第一个it指代的也是the old culture，第二、三个it均指代Edmonton。该段的大意为：古老的文化应该保留下来，这些古老的文化使得Edmonton很独特；如果没有这些古老的文化，那么Edmonton这个地方就会变成另一个商场，或者和世界上的任何一座城市没什么区别。4Which can be the best title for the text?A117yearold building to be torn downBNew development being met with disagreementsCEdmonton business owner makes a moveDOld buildings in Edmonton face an uncertain future解析：选A标题归纳题。本文是一则新闻报道，文章首段就点明了主旨，即：The Etzio is one of the oldest buildings in one of the citys oldest neighbourhoods，but its set to be knocked down。由此可知，A项作标题统领了全文。BFREMONT, Calif. Among a large group of people who are starting Silicon Valley companies and websites, its hard to find one more inspiring than 17yearold Suraya Shivji.After teaching herself to program iPhone gaming apps (应用软件) and getting them posted on Apples App Store, the Fremont teen is using them along with a crowdfunding campaign (大众筹资活动) she began this year on her website, Rizikitoto to raise money for African orphans (孤儿)So far, Rizikitoto has helped Suraya raise about D|S1,300 for the children, with money from each app given to a particular child. Suraya talked about her plans in an interview.Q：What caused you to want to help these children?A：I went to Africa a couple of years ago, and my sister and I volunteered at an orphanage in Uganda.

I liked the idea that anyone like me could help.Q：What made you think of using your gaming apps?A：I taught myself how to program a few years ago. The apps are great. But I didnt want them to just sit on the App Store as stupid games. And then I thought of connecting each one to a kid at the orphanage I worked at. So thats how it started.Q：Do you make money by having people pay to download them?A：A couple of them must be paid for but the rest are free with advertisements. The first ones were free, because I wanted to get_things_rolling.

I want other kids to program apps for the company, so it wont be just myself. Im trying to reach out to other groups, too.

But the native English speaker sitting between them cannot understand what they are saying.The Korean and the Colombian are actually speaking Globish, the latest addition to the 6,800 languages that are said to be spoken across the world. Not that its inventor, JeanPaul Nerrire, considers it a proper language.“It is not a language; it is a tool，” he says. “A language is the vehicle of a culture. Globish doesnt want to be that at all.” It is a means of simplifying the English language and giving it rules so it can be understood by all.Globish involves a vocabulary limited to 1,500 words, short sentences, basic grammar rules, and many hand gestures to get the point across. The word list goes from “able” to “zero”. “Niece and nephew are not included, but you can replace them with the children of my brother，” Nerrire says.The seeds for Globish came about in the 1980s when Nerrire was working for IBM in Paris with colleagues of about 40 nationalities. At a meeting where they were to be addressed (演讲) by two Americans whose flight had been delayed, they started talking in their lowquality English. Then the Americans arrived and beyond their opening phrases, “Call me Jim，” “Call me Bill，” no one understood a word. And Jim and Bill, needless to say, did not understand the audiences English.“My colleagues all, like me, spoke lowquality English. One might have a vocabulary of 2,000 words, another of 1,200 and not the same words. One of the things of interest in Globish is that with 1,500 words you can express everything. People all over the world will speak with the same limited vocabulary，” says Nerrire.Nerrire believes that with 182 hours learning the student should be able to communicate in Globish. It is not a pretty language full of redundancies (冗语) but Nerrire repeats that it is nothing but a tool. “It is not the language of great writers such as Shakespeare, Faulkner or Virginia Woolf，” he explains.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种只有1 500个单词的国际辅助语全球语。9The native English speaker mentioned in the first paragraph _.Aknows the ColombianBcant speak GlobishCdoesnt like chattingDcan speak Korean解析：选B推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句“But the native English speaker sitting between them cannot understand what they are saying.”可知，这个以英语为母语的人不懂全球语。10According to Nerrire, Globish is _.Aa proper languageBthe vehicle of a cultureCa means of communicationDthe rule of the English language解析：选C细节理解题。根据第三段的“It is not a language; it is a tool”和“It is a means . so it can be understood by all.”可知，Nerrire认为全球语只是一种交流的工具。11Which of the following words can be used to describe the meeting in the 1980s?AInteresting. BAmazing.CUnimportant. DUnsuccessful.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第五段可知，Nerrire和他的同事们听不懂两个美国人的演讲，美国人也听不懂观众的英语，由此可见这次会议很不成功。12What can we learn about Globish?AIt creates many new words.BIt is very difficult to learn.CIt doesnt require grammar rules.DIt contains a list of 1,500 words.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第四段的“Globish involves a vocabulary limited to 1,500 words”可知。.阅读七选五For better grades use your brain!If youre like most students, you probably started this new school year with an air of determination to study harder. Now science can help you. Recent discoveries in brain research point to better ways to learn.Think of the last time you looked up a number in the telephone book and dialed it. Could you remember that number five minutes later? Probably not! _1_ But if you can put the phone number into longterm memory, youll remember that same phone number next week.When you study, you transfer (转移) new information into longterm memory. Every time we learn something new, the structure of the brain actually changes, as we build new connections to information that we already know. _2_Brain researchers have discovered three key points for better study._3_ Your brain can process only a limited amount of information at one time, so dont try to remember every detail. When studying a textbook, look for titles and headings to show you the main ideas.Make the new brain connections stronger. _4_ This is the most powerful way to transfer information from shortterm to longterm memory. Another way is drawing a picture of the information, to make the visual (视
