必修一 Unit 2课下语篇提能练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A cycling session at Queen Mary homeless women's hostel (收容所) in London starts.Eleven women discuss what they're hoping to achieve in today's session.Then they push their bikes to a basketball court to practise in an offroad environment.Supported by instructors, they practise riding by themselves.Sometimes these women feel a little tired because they take medicine, but they have all made up their mind for cycling training.‎ Last year Queen Mary approached Sustrans (a charity) to set up a cycling club for women.Many of them have low levels of fitness.All have survived challenging situations ranging from social isolation (孤立) to abusive (虐待的) relationships.The hostel staff, who are experienced mental health experts, try to develop cycling to build the women's confidence and give them access to other fields of society.The hostel is moving away from traditional treatment of mental health with the belief that cycling could be a really useful tool in helping the women live on their own.After the success of a 10week pilot project, the cycling club received financial support of ￡10,000 to continue the club.‎ In modern society, homelessness and mental health problems often go hand in hand.Studies have shown that physical activities, including walking and cycling, can be used to overcome and even prevent stress, depression and anxiety.They can be more effective than medical treatments.‎ Women, however, are less likely than men to take part in physical activities.Women in the UK make nearly three times fewer cycling journeys than men.Two main causes of this are traditional barriers — mostly because women still undertake most household tasks — and fear of judgment.The network of bike routes has been expanded yet the “build it and they will come” approach ignores the fact that not all people start from the same point.Social interventions (干预) are a useful way to achieve equality of access to cycling.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。Queen Mary无家可归妇女收容所联合慈善组织Sustrans成立了自行车俱乐部，为这些无家可归的女性提供骑行培训，目的是帮助她们树立自信，使她们能够重新融入社会，独立生存。‎ ‎1．What can we learn about the women at Queen Mary?‎ A．They are quite determined.‎ B．They used to be good athletes.‎ C．They committed serious crimes.‎ D．They teach themselves cycling.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第一段中“but they have all made up their mind for cycling training”可知，这些女性很有决心，积极参加骑行训练。‎ ‎2．What's the main purpose in setting up the cycling club?‎ A．To raise money for the poor.‎ B．To advocate the benefits of cycling.‎ C．To help homeless women get a good job.‎ D．To make homeless women better fit into society.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The hostel staff, who are experienced mental health experts, try to develop cycling to build the women's confidence and give them access to other fields of society.”可知，建立骑行俱乐部的主要目的在于帮助这些女性树立自信，融入社会的不同领域。‎ ‎3．What does the author stress in the third paragraph?‎ A．The harm of mental problems.‎ B．The causes of different mental states.‎ C．The various treatments for mental illness.‎ D．The positive effect of sports on mental health.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知，本段主要介绍体育运动能够克服甚至预防精神方面的各种问题，可能比药物更有效。因此可推断本段旨在强调运动对精神健康的重要性。‎ ‎4．What is suggested for encouraging women to cycle?‎ A．Building more bike routes.‎ B．Starting purposeful activities.‎ C．Providing support in housework.‎ D．Strengthening education on equality.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容尤其是“Social interventions (干预) are a useful way to achieve equality of access to cycling.”可知，为了让更多的女性骑行，文中给出的建议是要进行社会干预，开展针对性的活动。‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 One day, the sewer line (污水管道) under our house burst.My first __1__ was to call the plumber (水管工)．“We don't do that，” he said, as if to tell me that even plumbers have their dignity.He did, however, __2__ someone.I made the call, expecting the man to __3__ of such a miserable job.__4__， he simply asked, “The address？”‎ An hour later, Steve arrived in his truck.I __5__ anxiously as he walked down into the damp depths.A few moments later he __6__， saying, “It's broken.”‎ ‎“Can you fix it？” I asked with a mixture of doubt and __7__.‎ Steve looked at me as if scolding me for my lack of __8__， saying, “Sure.” Then he ‎ told me that he had to get a backhoe (挖土机) and __9__ the street to the main sewer line and that it wouldn't be done until evening.‎ I didn't __10__ to watch the excavation (挖掘)．All I wanted was to __11__， go somewhere, and, upon my __12__， see everything the way it was before the damage.‎ I felt somewhat __13__ upon driving off in my clean vehicle, leaving Steve to such a(n) __14__ task.
