Unit 16 Stories.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)A(2016枣庄三中高二检测)Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab.Heres what happened.I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station.We were driving in the right lane when all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other cars back end by just inches!The driver of the other car,who almost caused a big accident,started yelling bad words at us.My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.And I mean he was friendly.So, I said, “Why did you just do that?This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!”And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck.”Many people are like garbage(rubbish) trucks.They run around full of garbage,full of frustration,full of anger,and full of disappointment.As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it.And if you let them,theyll dump it on you.When someone wants to dump on you, dont take it personally.You just smile,wave, wish them well, and move on.Youll be happy with what you did.I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work,at home,or on the streets? It was that day I said,“Im not going to do anymore.”Successful people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day.What about you?If you let more garbage trucks pass you by,youll be happier.Lifes too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.So,love the people who treat you right.Forget about the ones who dont.【语篇解读】文章讲的是发生在纽约出租车上的一件事。作者乘坐的出租车在行驶过程中,一辆停在路边的汽车突然开动,超到了出租车前面。这差点导致一起车祸,然而,出租车司机并未责怪汽车司机,反而以礼相待。作者从此事中认识到,不应该太在意他人的抱怨和不满,做好自己的事情。1How did the taxi driver respond to the behavior of the driver of

“How did you lose so much weight?”Those compliments made me feel good and confident.Soon I dropped to 110 pounds.A few of my friends told me that I needed to stop dieting,because I was starting to look sick.They brought me a presenta bag of chocolates,which I later gave to my sister.My mother would come to my room,with tears in her eyes,and have long chats about how harmful this diet was and begged me to stop.My dad would leave worried messages on my cellphone at school,telling me that it would do serious harm to my body.By midJune,when school was coming to an end,I was down to an only alive state of 95 pounds.All of a sudden,I knew I had to do something.I guessed the number itself scared me.I recalled my doctor.He told me about a girl who was 95 pounds and was at the risk of dying.I knew I was putting my life at risk,but for what?To make those who love me worried?Was it worthwhile to be thin?Now I realize that models in magazines,TV and movies are not realistic.The price

Efficient?China has been drinking tea since the time of Shennong,5,000 years ago.Britains relationship with tea is much shorter,but tea enjoys the pride as the UKs national drink.According to the UK Tea Council,British people drink an average of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day.With figures like these,it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affects the working day in Britain.A recent survey found that 24 minutes a day are lost to making,buying and drinking tea and coffee.That is,400 a year is lost in working hours per employee,or 190 days over a lifetime.So,should employers be worried about this lost working time,or does the tea break make up in other ways?One argument is that caffeine improves mental state:a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work.Professor Rogers of the University of Bristol disagrees.After years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that.“Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,”he says.“But if theyre often drinking it and then go without,theyll feel tired and wont work well.”Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in office life,and in building social relationships.“We need to make people more active and see other people.The tea break is one way of doing this,”says Cooper.And Professor Rogers also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink:“We warm our hands on them on a cold day;theyre comforting and play a big role in our everyday life.Whatever the caffeines doing,Id say these 24 minutes arent wasted.”【语篇解读】喝茶已经成为英国人的习惯,且不论喝茶休息是否真的可以提高工作效率,一旦人们戒除了这个习惯,他们的工作将会受到影响。9What is the passage mainly about?ATea breaks cannot make people more active at work.BBritish people drink more tea than people in other countries.CTea break plays an important role in peoples life in Britain.DA lot of time has been wasted drinking tea in the working day.【解析】主旨大意题。文章首先阐述了茶在英国的重要地位,之后大部分内容都在叙述喝茶休息的优点,所以C项最能概括文章大意。【答案】C10We learn from a recent survey that in Britain _A400 is lost in working hours for each personBtea breaks take up 24 minutes in a working dayCpeople spends 190 days drinking tea and coffee each yearDpeople drink 165 million cups in working hours every day【解析】细节理解题。结合第一段最后一句、第二段第二句和第三句的内容可知最近的调查表明英国人一个工作日中喝茶和咖啡的时间有24分钟。【答案】B11Whats Psychologist Coopers attitude towards tea break?ADoubtful.BUncertain.CNegative. DPositive.【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的内容可推测,Psychologist Coopers对喝茶休息持“肯定”态度。【答案】DDAs an English teacher,Ive been lucky enough to travel to many countries all over the world.Ive seen people celebrating everything from the arrival of new babies to the delivery of new cars.Ive attended weddings, parties and religious celebrations in countries such as Argentina and Japan, and Ive noticed that goldthe metal or the colour of itis always part of cultural events,traditions and celebrations.It makes me wonder:Why do people love gold?For some people,gold seems to be a status(地位)symbol.Indian businessman Datta Phuge loves gold so much that hes even bought a shirt made of gold at a cost of $250,000.Im not sure Id spend so much money on a shirt,would you?But Datta Phuge has his reason.He explains,“Some people want to own an Audi or a Mercedes.I choose gold.”For other people, gold is an investment.The price of gold generally increases over time and in European markets, it reached even $1,500 per ounce in 2011.And for many people, a family heirloom (传家宝) brings together status and investment.My mother has a gold bracelet (手镯) that was given to her by her grandmother who,in turn, inherited it from her own grandmother.Its quite a heavy piece and probably worth quite a lot of money.But its mental value is greater than its value in dollars.Its a beautiful object that holds many family memories.When the time comes, my mum will give the bracelet to me, and one day,Ill pass it on to the younger generation.Therefore,status and investment are good reasons to value gold.However,I think that the real reason why people love gold is that it can be made into beautiful objects.Think about Tutankhamens death mask.Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?People love gold because it holds their minds, their imaginations and, above all,their hearts.【语篇解读】不同文化背景的人都喜爱黄金或金色的东西。它既是身份的象征,又可以作为投资的对象,更重要的是,它还承载着人们美好的想象或回忆。12The main idea of the first paragraph is that_Athe author has traveled to many countriesBpeople all over the world love goldCthere are many ways to use goldDpeople celebrate almost everything【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段提到的地点、场合和人们在很多时候使用黄金的事实,都指向了文章的话题:“People love gold.”第二段“It make me wonder:Why do people love gold?”起到了承上启下的作用。对比选项,B项正确。【答案】B13Datta Phuge bought a shirt made of gold because _Apeople there love gold so muchBhe loves this kind of shirtCgold is a status symbol to himDhe is a successful businessman【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“Some people.gold.”一句,可知Datta Phuge不像其他人那样通过买豪车,而是通过拥有黄金来展示自己是有钱人的身份。所以C项正确。【答案】C14According to the passage, in Europe, gold could be _ per ounce in 2010.A$1,450 B$1,500C$1,550 D$1,600【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段“The price of gold.markets,it reached even $1,500 per ounce in 2011.”可知,金价一直在上涨,2011年是$1,500,2010年应该低于这个价格,所以A项正确。【答案】A15The gold bracelet is the heirloom for the authors family mainly because _Aits worth a lot of moneyBit brings status and investmentCits a beautiful objectDit holds family memories【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段“.that holds many family memories”可知D项正确。【答案】D.阅读填句(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(2016菏泽高二上期中)My mother is a diligent (勤奋的) and kind woman.She is very busy from morning till night.As a teacher,she works hard._16_Both my brother and I
