高一英语unit 2 english around the world阅读强化训练

unit2Englisharoundtheworld略读略读(skimming)是利用较短的时间粗略地阅读全文的阅读策略，其主要目的是迅速抓住文章的主旨大意或作者的写作意图。这是一种高效的、有选择性的、有针对性的阅读技巧。掌握略读这一技巧的关键就在于学会在阅读过程中区别文章的重要部分和非重要部分，全局部分和枝节部分。一些次要信息要大胆略去不读，迅速找出topicsentence即找出概括全段大意的句子。在运用这一方法阅读文章时，要特别注意：①文章的标题；②文章的首句或引导性段落；③文章尾部的结论性词语；④反映段落中心思想的主题句。如果我们找到了每段的主题句，再将这些主题句集中在一起，就差不多能够把握住全文的中心内容了。PassageA阅读理解WhatdoyouthinkofBritishpeopleandAmericanpeople?Youmightthinkthattherearenodifferencesbetweenthepeopleinthetwocountries.Afteralltheyspeakthesamelanguage,don'tthey?ButifyouaskaBritishoranAmericanperson,thedifferencesarequitegreat.WhatdoBritishpeoplethinkAmericansarelike?TheBritishthinkAmericansareverystrange.Theymakealotofnoiseandtheylaughtooloudly.Theyarerich,andtheyonlythinkaboutmoney.ButtheBritishdosaythatAmericansarekind,friendlype①lTheyarehappytohelpyouifyouareintrouble.WhatdoAmericansthinkoftheBritish?Well,theythinktheBritisharecoldandveryunfriendly.Theyarenotinterestedinsuccessorinmakinglotsofmoney.TheythinkBritainisthebestcountryintheworld.Theylookdownuponothercountries.ButAmericanssaythattheBritisharequitegoodworkers.Theyarebraveandhonest.Andintimeoftroubletheyfacedifficultieshappily.YoucanseethattheseideascancausemisunderstandingbetweentheBritishandAmericans・ButwhenAmericanandBritishpeoplebecomefriends,theyusuallyfindthingsarenotasbadastheyexpected・根据文章内容，选择正确答案：1・A・1・A・B・Theirdifferencesareverysmall・Thedifferencesareverygreat・C・Therearenodifferencesbetweenthem・D.Somepeoplethinkthereare,butsomepeopledontthinkso.WhatdotheBritishthinkAmericansarelike?Theyarestrangebutfriendly.B.Theyarepoor.C.Theyarerichbutunfriendly.D.Theyarehappyintrouble.TheAmericanandBritishpeopleusuallygetalongquitewell.whenmisunderstandingiscausedbetweenthemoncetheybecomefriendsaftertheyfightwhentheyhelpeachother难句注释ButtheBritishdosaythatAmericansarekind,friendlypeople.但是英国人的确认为美国人是可亲的、友善的。do在句中是为了表示强调。Totalwords:208Readingtime:Readingspeed:YoucanseethattheseideascancausemisunderstandingbetweentheBritishandAmericans.你会发现这些想法可能会在英国人和美国人之间引起误解。PassageB阅读理解SomeBritishandAmericanpeopleliketoinvitefriendsforamealathome.Butyoushouldnotbeupset（难受的）ifyourEnglishfriendsdon'tinviteyouhome.Itdoesn'tmeantheydon'tlikeyou!Dinnerpartiesusuallystartbetween7and8p.m.,andendatabout11.Askyourhostswhattimeyoushouldarrive.It'spolitetobringflowers,chocolatesorabottleofwineasagift.Usuallytheeveningstartswithdrinksandsnacks（小吃）.①Doyouwanttobemorepolite?Sayhowmuchyouliketheroom,orthepictureonthewall.Butremember—itsnotpolitetoaskhowmuchthingscost.Inmanyfamilies,thehusbandsitsatoneendofthetableandthewifesitsattheotherend.Theyeatwiththeirguests.You'llprobablystartthemealwithsouporsomethingsmall,thenyou'llhavemeatorfishwithvegetables,andthendessert,followedbycoffee.It'spolitetofinisheverythingonyourplateandtotakemoreifyouwantit.②Didyouenjoytheevening?Callyourhoststhenextday,orwritethemashortthankyouletter.BritishandAmericanpeopleliketosay“Thankyou,thankyou,thankyou.”allthetime!根据文章内容，选择正确答案：Ifyouaregoingtoattendadinnerparty,.youdbetterbringacertainpresentwithyouyoumustleavehomeforitat7p.m.youshouldaskyourhostwhenyoushouldleaveyoumustarriveatitbefore8p.m.Inwhichorderwillyoueatordrinkthefollowingthingsatthemeal?Snacks,vegetables,meatandcoffee.Coffee,drinks,soup,fish,vegetablesanddessert.Soup,meatwithvegetables,dessertandcoffee.Drinks,soup,somethingsmall,fishandvegetables.Whichisthecorrectwayinwhichyouexpressyourenjoymentoftheevening?Beforeleavingforhome,youshouldsay,“Thankyouforinvitingme.”Whenyoushakehandswithyourhost,youshouldsay,“Ididenjoytheevening.”Youcanwriteathankyoulettertoyourhostafterthat.Youshouldfinisheverythingonyourplateandtakemoreifyouwantit.难句注释Usuallytheeveningstartswithdrinksandsnacks.通常晚宴都是以一些饮料和小吃开始的。Totalwords:213Readingtime:Readingspeed:Itspolitetofinisheverythingonyourplateandtotakemoreifyouwantit.礼貌的做法是吃完你盘里的所有食物，如果还想吃的话再添一些。句首的it是形式主语。PassageC阅读理解Ifyouasksomepeople,“HowdidyoulearnEnglishsowell?”youmaygetasurprisinganswer:“Inmysleep!”Thesearepeoplewhohavetakenpartinoneoftherecentexperiments（实验）totestthelearnwhileyousleepmethod（方法），whichisnowbeingtriedinseveralcountries,andwithseveralsubjects.Englishisamongthem.Scientistssaythatthissleepstudymethodgreatlyspeedslanguagelearning.Theysaythattheordinarypersoncanlearntwoorthreetimesasmuchduringsleepasinthesameperiodduringtheday—andthisdoesnotaffect（影响）hisrestinanyway.However,sleepteachingwillonlyputintoyourheadwhatyouhavestudiedalreadywhileyouareawake.①Inoneexperiment,tenlessonswerebroadcastovertheradiofortwoweeks.Eachlessonlastedtwelvehours—from8p.m.to8a.m.ThefirstthreehoursofEnglishgrammarandvocabulary词了匚）weregivenwiththestudentsawake.At11p.m.alullaby（催眠曲）wasbroadcasttosendthestudenttosleepandforthenextthreehourstheradioinasoftandlowvoicebroadcastthelessonagainintohissleepingears.At2a.m.asharpnoisewassentovertheradiotowakethesleepingstudentupforafewminutestogooverthelesson.Thesoftmusicsenthimbacktorestagainwhiletheradiowenton.②At5oclockhissleependedandhehadtogothroughthelessonagainforthreehoursbeforebreakfast.根据文章内容，选择正确答案：Bythelearnwhileyousleepmethod,one.startstolearnane
