贵阳市2014高考英语（新人教版）一轮阅读训练（28）附答案课时作业(二十八)选修6unit 3 a healthy life(限时：35分钟)阅读理解holidays are really important.many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.but holidays are expensive and，for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.for working parents，the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. when an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks，there is a need to spread this across the year.couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. for some，this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.the schools that i visit in nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment.the number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. schools also have an important role in safeguarding childrens welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. during the long summer holidays，much of this is missed.while teachers are holidaying in the uk，many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. the lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning. in setting out its plans for a fiveterm year，nottingham city council(委员会)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a twoweek break.we believe this will give real “down time” for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.we acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff，particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. however, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.36the passage is probably written by _aan experienced teacher ba working parentcan inspired student da city council member37the underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refers to “_”aenvironments bholidayscwages dbenefits38it is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to _a2 weeks b4.5 weeksc5 weeks d6 weeks39the plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students _aobtain the cheapest

large sums of money to gangsters in return for protection. if the money was not paid promptly, the gangsters would quickly put a man out of business by destroying his shop. obtaining protection money is not a modern crime. as long ago as the fourteenth century, an englishman, sir john hawkwood, made the remarkable discovery that people would rather pay large sums of money than have their life work destroyed by gangsters.six hundred years ago, sir johan hawkwood arrived in italy with a band of soldiers and settled near florence. he soon made a name for himself and came to be known to the italians as giovanni acuto. whenever the italian city-states were at war with each other, hawkwood used to hire his soldiers to princes who were willing to pay the high price he demanded. in times of peace, when business was bad, hawkwood and his men would march into a city-state and, after burning down a few farms, would offer to go away if protection money was paid to them. hawkwood made large sums of money in this way. in spite of this, the italians regarded him as a sort of hero. when he died at the age of eighty, the florentines gave him a state funeral and had a pictured painted which was dedicated to the memory of the most valiant soldier and most notable leader, signor giovanni haukodue. 曾经有一个时期,芝加哥的店主和商行的老板们不得不拿出大笔的钱给歹徒以换取保护。如果交款不及时,歹徒们就会很快捣毁他的商店,让他破产.榨取保护金并不是一种现代的罪恶行径.早在14世纪,英国人约翰.霍克伍德就有过非凡的发现:人们情愿拿出大笔的钱,也不愿毕生的心血毁于歹徒之手. 600年前,约翰.霍克伍德爵士带着一队士兵来到意大利,在佛罗伦萨附近驻扎下来,很快就出了名.意大利人叫他乔凡尼.阿库托.每次意大利各城邦之间发生战争,霍克伍德把他的士兵雇佣给愿给他出高价的君主。和平时期,当生意萧条时,霍克伍德便带领士兵进入某个城邦,纵火烧毁一两个农场,然后提出,如向他们缴纳保护金,他们便主动撤离。霍克伍德用这种方法挣了大笔钱.尽管如此,意大利人还是把他视作某种英雄。他80岁那年死去时,佛罗伦萨人为他举行了国葬,并为他画像以纪念这位骁勇无比的战士、杰出的领袖乔凡尼.阿库托先生.*结束 阅读理解onequarter of the us workforce could be doing their jobs at home if all those able to telecommute chose to do so，according to a study on wednesday which said many still elect to work at the office.all those people working from home could translate into annual gasoline savings of $3.9 billion，according to the national technology readiness survey.but the study also found that about 14 percent of the workforce has the option to telecommute but chooses not to.as the studys principal researcher，professor pk. kannan，put it：that seems to suggest that even if employers were to say tomorrow that everybody had the option of telecommuting and that it would save a lot of gas，thats not going to happen.whats going on？some of it is obvious：people like to go to the office for social reasons，even if their work tasks dont require it.and thats not just to be around other people.our social needs also include being seen，and making “right” impressions on bosses and colleagues.our own research at work design collaborative is completely consistent with that interpretation.so how are we actually going to realize the energysaving opportunities that were missing？it seems to me there are two very basic actions called for.first，organizations must make distributed work not only available but expected by more employees.company policies and financial incentives can easily “push” workers into changing their patterns.note that i am not advocating making everyone a fulltime telecommuter.but just getting half of the workforce to work from home or in a nearby facility two days a week would save 20% of the gasoline now being consumed by moving people from homes to offices.second，we also need some national public policy initiatives to encourage people to work from home.its time to realize just how critical telecommuting and distributed work are to our national securityon several levels.its about reducing our dependence on foreign sources of energy.its about business continuity in the face of natural disasters(katrina，etc.) and/or acts of terrorism.and perhaps most importantly of all，its about reducing greenhouse gases as we address the global climate crisis i wrote about yesterday in an inconvenient truth.16what can we learn from the first paragraph?aonequarter of the us workforce is now doing their jobs at home.bthe people who prefer to work from home can not afford to telecommute.calthough they can telecommute，americans still prefer to work at office.dmore and more people who can telecommute prefer to work from home.17according to the study，people dont choose to work from home because_.athe working culture now is still not favorablebpeople want to meet their social needscpeople are afraid of falling behind their colleaguesdpeople cant work well without teamwork18according to the passage，the main benefit for people to work from home is that_.athere would be less traffic jamsbworking efficiency could be greatly increasedcthe energysaving opportunities could be realizeddthe relation between bosses and workers could be greatly improved19whats the authors attitude towards working from home?ahe thinks it is too early to put it into practice.bhe thinks it is ideal and not practical enough.che thinks it is the companys fault for its delay.dhe is completely in favor of it.20the underlined word “incentives” in the passage has a similar meaning to_.aencouragementsbpressuresccrisisdservices. 任务型读写i used to be the messiest person alive. over the years，through watching others and by trial and error，i have finally found ways to come up with plans，organize them and follow through with them. make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen. make a list of all of the steps that need to be followed and think about what need to be done.detail everything thoroughly and read it over so you can start coming up with some ways of how to carry out your plans. you should ensure that different ways are needed at hand. therefore，if for some reason one way doesnt work，one of the other ones will. committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at once is also necessary. if you make a promise to yourself to finish before a specific time，make sure that you carry that out，and be sure to do everything within the time frame you set for yourself.dont try to deal with more things all at a time. all that does is to delay your progress，distract you and make you lose your interest，motivation and energy.carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible. you will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan
