Unit 5课时跟踪练(一) Warming Up & Reading — Pre-reading Ⅰ.阅读理解 A The most popular of the amusement parks in Canada is Paramount Canada's Wonderland. This park frequently gets the most visitors of any seasonal park in North America. One reason is its numbers of wild rides. For younger kids, the television characters are very exciting. You can see Fred Flinstone, SpongeBob SquarePants or Dora the Explorer. There are often rides starring these characters that are more popular among younger children. There are plenty of fantastic shows for families to watch as well. What's more, the admission to the park includes the nearby Splash Works.‎ Another popular theme park is Galaxyland Amusement Park. Amusement park's fun shouldn't be limited to just the summer months, and Galaxyland is aware of this. As the world's largest indoor amusement park, Galaxyland packs in it 25 breathtaking rides and attractions. It is also home to one of the world's largest indoor roller coasters. Galaxyland remains one of the most popular theme parks in Canada for older children because of attractions like the Rock ’N’ Ride Dance Party. This party combines music, music videos and unlimited rides from 8 pm to midnight.‎ One of the most visited amusement parks in Canada on the west coast is Playland. Playland, unlike other Canadian theme parks, has a long history in its city. Playland has all the fun of a carnival, with scary houses, merrygorounds (旋转木马) and a ferris wheel. There are also modern additions in the park, like a climbing wall for kids and a video game room. Playland is open from spring through fall, though only on weekends and holidays before June 18 and after September 1st.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，就加拿大的三家主题公园的特色及具有代表性的娱乐项目和设施进行了介绍。‎ ‎1．Which of the following is TRUE about Paramount Canada's Wonderland?‎ A．It is the largest seasonal park in Canada.‎ B．It offers many interesting shows to visitors.‎ C．Its rides star many characters popular among adults.‎ D．It has the biggest number of visitors of all the Canadian parks.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。从第一段关于Paramount Canada's Wonderland的介绍中“There are plenty of fantastic shows for families to watch as well.”可知B项正确。‎ ‎2．What makes Playland different from other Canadian theme parks?‎ A．Its large indoor roller coaster.‎ B．Its video game room.‎ C．Its location.‎ D．Its long history.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。从第三段中“Playland, unlike other Canadian theme parks, has a long history in its city.”可知该主题公园悠久的历史是与其他的加拿大主题公园所不同的地方。‎ ‎3．What do these three popular theme parks have in common?‎ A．They all have attractions for children.‎ B．They all open throughout the year.‎ C．They are all have parties at night.‎ D．They are all outdoor parks.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。从第一段的“There are often rides ... more popular among younger children.”，第二段的“Galaxyland remains ... for older children because of attractions like the Rock ’N’ Ride Dance Party.”及第三段的“... a climbing wall for kids ...”可知这三个主题公园的共同之处是都有给孩子们准备的设施或活动。‎ ‎4．The text is mainly intended to ________.‎ A．encourage people to travel in Canada B．compare different theme parks in Canada C．introduce some popular Canadian theme parks D．offer some tips on visiting theme parks in Canada 解析：选C　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了加拿大的三个主题公园。‎ B Three years ago, my colleagues and I started a program in Harrisburg designed to improve doctors' communication with their patients. This large urban hospital system serves a city with a population of about 50,000 together with the surrounding metropolitan area of more than 550,000 people. The hospital faces particular challenges: The city has a high poverty rate. On the whole, nearly a third of people in and around Harrisburg are uninsured, compared with about one in ten for the rest of Pennsylvania.‎ Our project started with a simple baseline (底线) assessment of how we as doctors communicated with our patients. Observation soon showed that physicians introduced themselves on only about one in four occasions. Brief, rushed physician encounters were common, with limited opportunity for questions. A lack of empathy was often apparent: In one instance, after a tearful patient had related the recent death of a loved one, the physician's next sentence was “How_is_your_stomachache？”‎ We developed a physiciantraining program. Over the next two years, patient satisfaction with doctors moved the hospital's predicted score up in national rankings. The ‎ need to train and test physicians in “interpersonal and communication skills” was formally recognized only relatively recently, in 1999, when the American Board of Medical Specialties made them one of physicians' key abilities. Although medical schools and residency programs then began to train and test students on these skills, once physicians have completed training, they are seldom evaluated on them. And doctors trained before the mid1990s have rarely, if ever, been evaluated at all.‎ I realize that many colleagues may see methods like ours as too interruptive on their clinical practice and may say that they don't have the time. But we need to move away from the thought that social skills and better communication are a kind of casual extra for doctors.‎ 语篇解读：我们应摒弃那种认为社交技巧和改善沟通对医生来说是一种额外素质的想法，因为在临床实践中，良好的态度本身就是一剂良药。‎ ‎5．How many people in and around Harrisburg don't have insurance?‎ A．About 17,000.　　　　　　B．About 180,000.‎ C．About 200,000. D．About 50,000.‎ 解析：选C　数字计算题。根据第一段最后一句可知，总体而言，哈里斯堡及周边人口中，有近三分之一没有医疗保险。再由第一段中的信息“宾夕法尼亚州哈里斯堡市大约5万人口，周边城市共计超过55万的居民”计算可知，(5＋55)×1/3＝20(万)，故选C项。‎ ‎6．What can be learned about the doctors before the mid1990s?‎ A．Their interpersonal and communication skills were not assessed seriously.‎ B．They got more satisfaction from the patients than others.‎ C．They seldom involved in patients' interviews and assessment.‎ D．The physiciantraining program had no effect on them.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，所有在20世纪90年代中期之前接受医学培训的医生，极少甚至完全没有得到过评估。故选A项。‎ ‎7．What is the author's colleagues' attitude toward the physiciantraining program?‎ A．Practical. B．Doubtful.‎ C．Objective. D．Negative.‎ 解析：选D　观点态度题。根据第四段第一句大意可知，作者的很多同行可能会认为，作者他们的方法对临床实践的干扰太强，也可能会说他们没时间，由此可知他们的态度是消极的，他们是不认可作者他们的方法的。‎ C There's a lot of recordbreaking happening at Mount Everest lately. 13yearold Jordan Romero recently has become the youngest person to complete the climb — but the newest Everest record isn't about climbing to the top of the mountain, but going beneath it.‎ That's right: Lewis Gordon Pugh, a British endurance swimmer, just completed a swim beneath the summit of Mount Everest, battling against icy water to complete the 1kilometerlong swim across Pumori Lake. Although the swim's distance was short, the water temperature and altitude made it one of the most difficult feats he had ever accomplished — particularly because he wore nothing but a pair of Speedos, a cap, and goggles to protect himself against about ‎1 ℃‎ water. He completed the swim in 22 minutes and 51 seconds.‎ ‎“Because of the altitude you need to swim very slowly and deliberately，” Pugh told Sky News. “Swimming ‎20 m at full speed in the test swim, I felt I was going to drown.”‎ So Pugh adapted his stroke (划水动作), making sure to swim slowly enough to stay afloat (漂浮的), but fast enough that he didn't freeze to death. A team of doctors was on hand to watch over his stunt and help him out if he got into any trouble.‎ Pugh, who's been nicknamed “The Human Polar Bear”， didn't do the swim purely for shock value, but did it as a way to raise awareness of the melting glaciers in the Himalayas, and the problems that declining water supplies are causing for the area.‎ ‎“Most glaciers are melting away，” he said. “The glaciers in the Himalayas are not just ice. They are a lifeline — they provide water for approximately two billion people.”‎ Lewis Gordon Pugh is the first person to complete a long distance swim in every ocean of the world and over a period of 20 years he pioneered more swims around famous landmarks than any other swimmers in history.‎ 语篇解读：英国探险家Lewis Gordon Pugh为了唤起人们保护环境的意识，用22分51秒横渡了Pumori湖。‎ ‎8．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A．Pugh was the youngest man to climb Mount Everest.‎ B．Pugh wore many clothes when he was swimming.‎ C．Pugh finished his swim with some protection.‎ D．Pugh finished his swim in a short time.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第四段的最后一句“A team of doctors was on hand to watch over his stunt and help him out if he got into any trouble.”可知，有一队医生在旁边，万一有事的话可以帮助他。故选C。‎ ‎9．Why did Pugh swim in Pumori Lake located at the summit of Mount Everest?‎ A．To set another world record.‎ B．To defeat 13yearold Jordan Romero.‎ C．To prove his extraordinary swimming skills.‎ D．To raise awareness of protecting the environment.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第五段中的“but did it as a way to raise awareness ... causing for the area”可知，Lewis Gordon Pugh在Pumori湖里游泳是为了唤起人们保护环境的意识。故选D。‎ ‎10．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?‎ A．An advocator for protecting the environment B．How to climb Mount Everest C．How to swim across Pumori Lake D．An interesting long swim 解析：选A　标题归纳题。根据文意可以判断，Lewis Gordon Pugh为了唤起人们保护环境的意识横渡了Pumori湖，所以他是环境保护的一位提倡者。故选A。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 A simple life means getting rid of many of the things you do so you can spend more time with people you love and do the things you love. __1__ It's often a journey of two steps forward and one backward.‎ Evaluate your time. __2__ What things do you do from the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep? Make a list, and evaluate whether they're in line with your priorities. If not, remove them and focus on what's important. Redesign your day.‎ Limit your communications. Our lives these days are filled with a vast flow of communications: email, cellphones, paper mail, Twitter, forums, and more. __3__ Instead, set a limit on your communications: only deal with emails at certain times of the day. Limit phone calls to certain times too. It is the same with other communications. Set a schedule and stick to it.‎ Try living without a car. OK, this isn't something I've done, but many others have. __4__ Walk, bike, or take public transportation. It reduces expenses and gives you time to think. A car is also very complicated, needing not only car payments, but insurance, maintenance, repairs, gas and more.‎ ‎__5__ If you rid your home of stuff, you might find you don't need so much space. I'm not saying you should live on a boat (although I know some people who happily do so), but if you can be comfortable in a smaller home, it will not only be less expensive, but easier to maintain, and greatly simplify your life.‎ A．Consider a smaller home.‎ B．Have a place for everything.‎ C．How do you spend your day?‎ D．It's something I would do if I didn't have kids.‎ E．They can take up your whole day if you let them be.‎ F．However, getting to simplicity isn't always a simple process.‎ G．Most people don't know what “enough” is, and thus they keep buying more.‎ ‎1．选F　根据上下文，上文谈了什么是简约的生活，空格后谈其过程通常是前进两步后退一步，推知此处谈过一种简约的生活并不简单。‎ ‎2．选C　根据主题句：估算你的时间，空格后谈一天从早到晚你做些什么事，可知此处问：你如何安排一天的时间？‎ ‎3．选E　根据本段主题：限制交际。上文中谈到我们生活中充斥着种种交际方式，可知此处谈：如果任由它们发展的话，很可能占用我们一整天的时间，后文进一步谈正确的做法。‎ ‎4．选D　根据主题句和上下文，尝试过不自己开车的生活，前文谈这是别人做的事而不是我所做的，后文进一步提倡了自行车、公交等绿色环保出行方式，可知此处解释我没有这样做的原因。‎ ‎5．选A　根据下文谈的“小家”的话题，推知此处主题句为：考虑一个小点的家。‎
