Unit 5Theme parksSection Warming Up & ReadingPrereading.阅读理解A Have you ever been on a student exchange? How useful was it? We asked three people for their opinions. Ellen I spent 8 days in Stuttgart (Germany) when I was studying for my A levels. I went to school with my exchange partner every day, and spent the evenings with her family. It was great because I had to speak German all the time. However, the most useful thing was that I was focusing more on communicating with the language, rather than speaking perfectly correct German. It also made me more confident because people could understand what I was talking about. Id certainly recommend (推荐) it to other students studying languages. Frank I went on an exchange with my class for a week in Madrid (Spain). Before the exchange, I thought my understanding of grammar was pretty good, but I struggled with listening and speaking. So, it was good to be in a place where I had no choice but to use my language skills. It also helped me learn the kind of Spanish that people use when theyre speaking, rather than the language from books. If I had the opportunity, Id certainly take part in another language exchange.Alice I took part in a French exchange. It lasted one week and I stayed with my exchange family in a small town just outside Paris. Im quite a shy person, so the first few days were a bit frightening, but then it was fine. I love French and my level has always been good. But the exchange really helped develop my speaking skills, and made me a much more confident person. It felt great to be able to talk with native French people. I also found that everyone who took part in the exchange did a lot better in their endofyear exams. I would certainly recommend an exchange.【文章大意】本文是记叙文。文章介绍了三个人去国外当交换生学习语言的经历及感受。1What impressed Frank most during his exchange?ALocal culture.BGrammar rules.CNatural Spanish.

And then I call my husband and ask him to stop at my grandmothers. Sometimes he has already passed her town, but there is no such thing as “driving out of the way” when it comes to her cooking. I dont remember the first time when I ate the meatloaf, but I do remember that I was very young at the time. Its not something that I eat anywhere else. And I certainly dont order it at restaurants. As a rule, I dont even eat that much meat. It is the most delicious food that has ever entered my mouth. Best served when fresh from the oven, the first bite is always soft and tender. Maybe if I had her recipe, I could explain it more precisely. Last July, my grandmother called to ask me what I wanted for my birthday. That was an easy enough question to answer. “I would like meatloaf！” I said. “I think I can do that，” she said. On my twentyninth birthday, my husband, my parents and I gathered around my grandmothers table. We ate slice after slice. Then she gave me some meatloaf to take home. I didnt want to share it with my husband, but I did. It was a great birthday. This year was a big one. I turned thirty. “Lets go out for dinner，” my husband suggested. “Dont you want something special？” my mom asked. I wanted my grandmothers meatloaf. That would make it special. My grandmother went shopping for ground beef, potatoes, and a couple of heads of cabbage. And on the night of my birthday, we gathered at my parents house for dinner. It was a fabulous dinner.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。祖母做的一份普通的烘肉卷承载了家人之间的爱。4What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?ACraig lives near my grandmothers house.BCraig rarely drives by my grandmothers house.CCraig loves my grandmothers cooking.DCraig likes dining out with his wife.解析：C推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句可知，作者的丈夫很爱吃祖母做的饭，因为即使他开车过了祖母所居住的小镇，也会掉头回去。5Why didnt the writer want to share the meatloaf with her husband?ABecause it is not her husbands favorite food.BBecause her husband had already eaten a lot.CBecause it was so delicious that she couldnt get enough of it.DBecause she didnt get along well with her husband.解析：C推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知，作者对祖母做的烘肉卷喜爱至极，所以她不愿和丈夫分享。6What can we know about the writer according to the passage?AShe is really good at cooking.BShe doesnt like going out for dinner.CShe will have meatloaf on her next birthday.DShe doesnt know how to cook meatloaf.解析：D细节理解题。根据第二段的Maybe if I had her recipe, I could explain it more precisely. 可知，作者不会做烘肉卷。7What is the best title for the passage?AMy Happy Family.BA Memorable Dinner.CMy Twentyninth Birthday.DMy Grandmothers Meatloaf.解析：D标题归纳题。作者通过叙述往事来表达对祖母做的烘肉卷的喜爱。C One Illinois father and his preteen son have made a very important agreement. Whenever the son is practicing to stand again after his brain injury left him in a wheelchair, the father will work on his health, too, by working out. This week, Rick posted pictures online showing off their progress, saying: “He used to be in a coma (昏迷); I used to be a fat guy. Now were both recovering.” Reece can now stand for up to 90 minutes at a time, and Rick has lost an impressive 70 pounds. In May of 2008, when Reece was four, he was in a car accident that left him with a brain injury. He was put on life support, spending four months holed up in a hospital. The youngster has been working on his recovery ever since. Reece had been making so much progress in his stander that his dad was inspired to make some progress of his own. That was two years ago when Rick realized he needed to lose weight. Now, whenever Reece is in his stander, Rick is on the treadmill (脚踏车). The two work out about five times a week. Jennifer, Ricks wife, has even joined in too, resulting in a “pretty important lifestyle change” for the whole family. While Rick and Jennifers hope for Reece is that he will one day be able to walk independently, Rick wants to run a halfmarathon in the fall. “Reece is a fighter and has such willpower and determination. It allows us to keep pushing him and keep raising the standard higher，” Rick said. They also continue through setbacks, including when, two months ago, Reece underwent an 11hour operation. The young kid even insisted that he didnt want to take pain medication, leaving his doctor in awe (敬畏之心) “At the end of the day, our goals for him are just to put him in the best position to achieve anything he puts his mind to，” Rick said. “If hes willing to do the work, well always be right beside him to support him.”【文章大意】本文是新闻报道。美国伊利诺斯州的一位父亲受到患病儿子积极进行康复训练的启发，开始和儿子一起锻炼，并成功减肥70磅。8What did the father and son agree on?AA lifestyle change.BTheir recovery plan.CPosting photos regularly.DExercising 90 minutes each day.解析：B细节理解题。首段第二句Whenever the son is practicing.by working out解释了第一句中agreement的内容。由此可知，父子俩在双方的康复计划上达成了一致意见。9Rick decided to lose weight _.Ain the year 2008Bon his wifes adviceCunder the influence of his sonDafter running into health problems解析：C细节理解题。根据第四段Reece had been making so much progress.needed to lose weight可知，Rick在儿子的影响下决定开始减肥。10Why does Rick want to run a halfmarathon?ATo encourage his son.BTo raise money for his son.CTo set an example for other parents.DTo show his energy after weight loss.解析：A推理判断题。根据Rick在倒数第三段中说的It allows us to keep pushing him and keep raising the standard higher可知，他想参加秋季半程马拉松比赛是为了鼓励儿子继续站立练习，最终能独立行走。11Which of the following words can best describe Reece?AClever.
