课时跟踪练22 Unit 2 The United Kingdom Ⅰ.阅读理解 A British roads are some of the safest ones in the world.A study in 2010 that compared more than 30 countries found that 3.8 people per 100，000 died in traffic accidents in the UK.This number was lower than that in any other country.So, what did British drivers do to achieve this? What are they doing differently? Here are five top tips for drivers who are planning a trip to the UK.‎ ‎·People in Britain drive on the left side of the road.In fact, a long time ago people drove on the left in most countries, but now only a few countries do this.Don't forget that.This also means you must drive the other way around roundabouts (环岛)．‎ ‎·British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody.If you are in a queue of traffic, then don't try to push past the vehicles in front of yours.This is called “jumping the queue”．You must wait for your turn, otherwise people may get angry with you.‎ ‎·You must stop at traffic lights when they are red.In many countries, it is OK to go past red lights if you are turning a corner or if there isn't any other traffic around.In the UK you could have lots of trouble if you do this.‎ ‎·If other drivers flash their car's lights at you, then they are probably trying to tell you that they will wait for you to go first.British people don't like to use their car horn much and they think people who do that are rude.‎ ‎·If you are involved in an accident, then don't try to pay the police.The police in the UK never take money.And if you try to offer them some, you could end your holiday by visiting a British prison.‎ ‎1．When you are driving in the UK, what should you do?‎ A．Drive past slow cars in front of yours.‎ B．Drive on the right around roundabouts.‎ C．Sometimes pay the police to avoid trouble.‎ D．Not go past red lights even when turning left.‎ ‎2．What do drivers usually mean if they flash their car lights at you when you are driving in the UK?‎ - 8 -‎ A．You have done something rude.‎ B．They would like you to go first.‎ C．There are possible dangers ahead.‎ D．They want you to wait for them.‎ ‎3．What's the text mainly about?‎ A．Special traffic rules in the UK.‎ B．Advice for safe driving in the UK.‎ C．How to deal with traffic accidents.‎ D．Tips for making with traffic accidents.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　英国发生交通事故的概率相对于其他国家来讲很低，这与其健全的交通体制有密切关系。本文介绍了在英国驾驶的注意事项并提出几点建议。‎ ‎1．解析：细节理解题。根据第三条建议可知，在很多国家，红色交通信号灯亮的时候车辆是可以转弯的，但这种行为在英国不被允许。故选D项。‎ 答案：D ‎2．解析：细节理解题。根据第四条建议可知，在英国，如果司机向你闪车灯，可能是想要告诉你让你先行通过。故选B项。‎ 答案：B ‎3．解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Here are five top tips for drivers who are planning a trip to the UK”可知，本文为在英国驾驶的司机提出了一些安全驾驶的建议。故选B项。‎ 答案：B B While visiting the North Pole in winter may not be at the top of your bucket list，the everchanging ICEHOTEL, which opened its doors to visitors on December 14 this year, may change your mind.200 km north of the Arctic Circle in the Swedish village of Jukkasjärvi, the hotel, which is carved entirely from ice, is rebuilt annually.‎ The 35 rooms, built to accommodate visitors on all kinds of budgets, vary from expensive suites to basic rooms that are furnished with just an icy bed and a reindeer skin.Among the highlights this year is the “Spruce Woods” suite.Sculpted by Christopher Pancoe and Jennie O'Keefe from Canada, it describes a camping scene complete with a classic microbus, a forest, and even an artificial campfire.‎ There is also the artfullycarved “Living Ocean” suite to remind visitors of the importance of saving our oceans.The room is full of carved sea life that includes coral and a shark “swimming” right over the ice bed.“The suite is inspired by global - 8 -‎ ‎ warming and overfishing that affect our oceans，” says artist Jonathan Paul Green.“I also think the idea of using frozen water from a river in northern Sweden to create an ocean with shells, fish, and coral is exciting.”‎ The nearby “Haven” suite is a “magical gate of ice” guarded by two large animals.“We are inspired by the meeting between people and want to create an experience that invites curiosity and creativity，” says artist Jonas Johansson.“It feels like a dream to get to work with ice that allows our love for light, shine, and reflection to wander freely from thought to creation.”‎ Regardless of whether visitors select the carved suites or the basic ice rooms, the temperature is always set to a bonechilling －5℃！ That is why guests are advised to snuggle (蜷缩) up inside sleeping bags and wear gloves and winter hats all night.Not surprisingly, most end up spending just a single night at this unique hotel before moving on to the conventional and warmer hotels nearby.‎ ‎4．What does the underlined phrase “bucket list” mean in Paragraph 1?‎ A．A shopping list of buckets.‎ B．A list of travelling destinations.‎ C．A list of expensive hotels.‎ D．A list of exciting ideas.‎ ‎5．What can we know about the ice hotel?‎ A．It is rebuilt every year.‎ B．Its rooms are expensive.‎ C．It organizes camping activities.‎ D．It lies in a coastal city.‎ ‎6．Where does the inspiration of “Living Ocean” suite come from?‎ A．Art and literature.‎ B．Ocean life and voyage.‎ C．Climate changes and human influence.‎ D．The meeting of people.‎ ‎7．Which of the following is the best title for the text?‎ A．An Adventure to the North Pole B．An Experience Close to Nature C．A Taste of Cold: A Night in a Village D．A Winter Destination: Sweden's Ice Hotel - 8 -‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文介绍了位于瑞典乡村地区的一家冰屋旅馆的独特魅力，向大家推荐了北极旅行的新玩法。‎ ‎4．解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段首句中的“visiting the North Pole”可知，此句话的主语是北极旅行，意义上侧重讲旅行的目的地，由此可推知，此处bucket list表示“旅行目的地的清单”，故选B项。‎ 答案：B ‎5．解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...the hotel，which is carved entirely from ice，is rebuilt annually.”可知，这个宾馆每年都会重建，故选A项。‎ 答案：A ‎6．解析：细节理解题。根据题干中的“Living Ocean”可定位至第三段，根据该段中的“The suite is inspired by global warming and overfishing that...”可知，“Living Ocean”的灵感源于气候变化和人类的过度捕捞活动，故选C项。‎ 答案：C ‎7．解析：主旨大意题。综观全文，尤其是根据第一段的内容可知，本文围绕北极冬季旅行的住所这一主题详细介绍了瑞典的一家冰屋旅馆，故选D项。‎ 答案：D Ⅱ.七选五 I just counted how many foreign languages I've studied so far in my life and it's been twelve!‎ I always follow my interests and find ways to put my language learning into things I'm already interested in.I like to read blogs (博客) in other languages. 1 ．For the most part, bloggers tend to write the same way they speak, so I don't have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.‎ Movies are also a really good tool, especially if you can find subtitles in the language you're learning. 2 ， they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language.Music is another way to start listening to things in your new language. Personally, I'm so bad at understanding lyrics (歌词) even in English, so this one doesn't really work for me, but I have friends who learn a language through lyrics.Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language.A lot of language learning computer programmes include games.I'm super competitive and if I play any of them, I can be hooked for hours. 3 ．‎ When the initial excitement of learning a new language begins to fade, it can be hard to stick with it.The hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood.I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian. 4 ．Ideally I should sign up to take a big language - 8 -‎ ‎ exam. Each time I start getting selfsatisfied, it's time to take a new course or sign up for online lessons, or take up some sort of challenge that will require me to level up my skills.‎ ‎ 5 ．The best language class I've ever taken was my beginner's Russian course at university where my professor never used any English.It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class, which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had.‎ A．That's really uncomfortable B．Whatever languages they're translated into C．I also try to think in the language I'm learning D．It's time well spent if I'm learning the language E．Computer games always make me feel worn out F．Though they don't always exactly match what's being said G．I found them a perfect learning tool because they're usually written in oral language ‎【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了作者学习多种外语的方法和在学习语言过程中的心得。‎ ‎1．解析：根据设空处前的“I like to read blogs in other languages”和设空处后的“For the most part，bloggers tend to write the same way they speak，so I don't have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.”可知，设空处前后介绍了作者喜欢阅读用其他语言写的博客，并说明了博主写博客的用词习惯及其对作者的影响，由此可推知，设空处应为承上启下的过渡句，G项(我发现它们是完美的学习工具，因为它们通常都是用口语书写的)既说明了作者喜欢阅读用其他语言写的博客的原因，又介绍了博客的用词特征，符合语境。故选G项。‎ 答案：G ‎2．解析：根据设空处所在句的句式结构可知，设空处应是一个从句，由此可将答案限定在B项和F项之间：根据设空处前的“especially if you can find subtitles in the language you're learning”可知，此处应与电影台词有关，F项“尽管他们并不总是与(演员)所说的内容完美匹配”符合语境，与设空后的句子构成让步关系，故选F项。‎ 答案：F ‎3．解析：根据设空处前的“I can be hooked for hours”可知，作者愿意花费大量时间(通过)玩游戏(学习语言)。D项(如果我在学习这门语言，那么花的时间是很值得的)中的time与上文中的hours相呼应，符合语境。故选D项。‎ 答案：D - 8 -‎ ‎4．解析：根据设空处前一句“I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian.”可知，作者学习挪威语时曾陷入窘境。A项(这使人感到很不安)承接上文，且其中的uncomfortable与上文中的comfortable形成对比，故选A项。‎ 答案：A ‎5．解析：设空处位于段首，为该段主旨句。该段通过讲述作者大学俄语课堂上的教授从不使用英语开展教学的事例，说明了用一门外语进行思考也是学习该门外语的方法之一。故选C项。‎ 答案：C Ⅲ.语法填空 In his book, Intentional Living: Choosing a Life that Matters, author John C．Maxwell shares that back in 1976, he received a gift from one of his 1.
