课时分层作业(四)　Section ⅠWarming Up Pre-reading Reading ‎(建议用时：30分钟)‎ ‎[高考题型练习提能力]‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A There are probably no people on Earth who like to gossip as much as the British.If prying into(打探)others' lives were an Olympic sport，then Team GB would surely take the gold medal.‎ And when the British can't watch the lives of real people，they have another source of entertainment to fall back on－the soap opera.British soap operas are very different to US TV dramas.For one，they are normally longer running.The two most popular，Coronation Street and Eastenders，have been running for 48 and 24 years respectively.Both are broadcast several times a week，so remarkably there have been more than 7,000 episodes of Coronation Street.‎ The most obvious difference is that，unlike US dramas，the British soap operas focus on the real world.There is little glamour(魅力)，the stars are rarely rich，and they normally have boring jobs.Perhaps the appeal is that the lives of the characters often mirror the lives of the audience－but with some drama added.This means the viewer can relate to the characters and feel the pain and happiness they go through on the show.‎ Because these soap operas last for decades，the cast is ever changing.The shows rarely focus on one or two main characters.Like the real world，people come and go all the time.However，there are exceptions.Coronation Street's William Roach,76，has played the role of Ken Barlow since the very first episode of the show in 1960，and he is still a regular.‎ The choice of which soap opera you follow is often cultural：people from the north of Britain tend to watch Coronation Street as it is set in Manchester.People from the south generally prefer Eastenders，which is set in the east of London.The show is generally considered grittier and is aimed at a younger audience.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文主要讲述了英国人喜欢打探消息和闲聊的特点，从而阐发英剧的历史和特点，英国人对于英剧极其钟爱，不同地区的英国人对英剧种类的喜爱也有所差异。‎ ‎1．What is the main difference between American dramas and British soap operas?‎ A．American dramas are longer.‎ B．British soap operas are longer.‎ - 6 -‎ C．American dramas deal with dangerous things.‎ D．British soap operas deal with real world.‎ D　[细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The most obvious difference is that，unlike US dramas，the British soap operas focus on the real world.”可知D项正确。]‎ ‎2．Why do British people like to watch such operas?‎ A．They can find their own life from the operas.‎ B．They can enjoy the operas in their free time.‎ C．They can watch the operas for many years.‎ D．They care about the fate of the characters in the operas.‎ A　[细节理解题。根据第三段第三句中“Perhaps the appeal is that the lives of the characters often mirror the lives of the audience...”可知其反映现实生活。]‎ ‎3．The underlined word “episodes” in the second paragraph probably means “ ”．‎ A．plays B．pages C．issues D．parts D　[词义猜测题。第二段讲述的主要对象为电视剧，以部分和剧集分割，故D项正确。]‎ B If you make a list of the world's top ten most challenging jobs，chances are that being a teacher will not make the cut.But think about the discouraging task millions of educators face each day as they try to shape a group of often badtempered，wild kids into intelligent，wellrounded individuals.That surely has to be the toughest job in the world，especially given that there is no promotion or bonus awaiting them even if they are wildly successful!‎ What if these allimportant individuals that we often take for granted disappear from our lives？That was what Project Ed and Participant Media's Teach campaign asked filmmakers of all ages to imagine in their recentlyheld competition.Entitled “A World Without Teachers”，its purpose was to inspire more young people to become teachers.However，the 62 amazing video submissions also serve as a reminder of how horrible things would be if we didn't have these selfless individuals guiding us through life.What was interesting is that even the youngest participants did not appear to be happy at the idea of not having anybody telling them what to do.‎ Highschool student Savannah Wakefield reflected if art as we know it today would have been different without teachers.Would Monet have discovered his talent for impressionism？Los Angeles—based Miles Horst，who won the 1,000 USD prize for the - 6 -‎ ‎ best adult submission imagines a world where teachers are replaced by a “brain box” in his fun lively entry.‎ Youth category winner Marina Barham's video represents a fact we all know but often forget.Teachers don't just teach，they inspire something that no electronic device，no matter how smart，can do! So the next time you think your teacher is being “mean” for trying to channel you in the right direction，imagine a life without him/her.We have a feeling it will not appear as rosy!‎ ‎【语篇解读】　这是一篇议论文。作者通过论证表明：世界上不能没有老师。文章强调了老师的重要性。‎ ‎4．What is the text mainly about?‎ A．The significance of teachers.‎ B．The campaign to promote teachers' status.‎ C．A survey of people's views about teachers.‎ D．A competition to win the prize for the best teacher.‎ A　[主旨大意题。文章分别以Project Ed and Participant Media's Teach campaign，Savannah Wakefield，Monet，Miles Horst等为例，证明了世界上不能没有老师。故该文中心在于强调教师的重要性。]‎ ‎5．From the passage we can learn that .‎ A．teaching naughty kids is a very discouraging task B．being a teacher is one of the most challenging jobs in the world C．a successful teacher has the greatest chance to be promoted D．teachers have little influence on kids' individual development B　[细节理解题。由第一段中的“But think about the discouraging task millions of educators face...That surely has to be the toughest job in the world，especially given that...”可知，当老师是最难的工作之一。]‎ ‎6．What is the purpose of the project “A World Without Teachers”？‎ A．To attract kids to submit more videos of their teachers.‎ B．To encourage more people to go into teaching career.‎ C．To expect teachers to devote themselves to their jobs.‎ D．To remind students to appreciate teachers' hard work.‎ B　[细节理解题。由第二段中的“its purpose was to inspire more young people to become teachers”可知，该项目的目的是鼓舞更多的年轻人做老师。]‎ ‎7．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggest?‎ A．Teaching is quite different from other jobs.‎ - 6 -‎ B．The future of teachers' work appears inspiring.‎ C．A world without teachers will be unimaginable.‎ D．Many people attach more importance to teaching.‎ C　[句意理解题。由最后一段中的“Teachers don't just teach，they inspire something that no electronic device，no matter how smart，can do！So the next time you think your teacher is being ‘mean’ for trying to channel you in the right direction，imagine a life without him/her.”老师们不仅仅是教学，他们还可以激发学生，而这种激励是任何电子设备都无法做到的。所以，当下一次你认为你的老师非常“苛刻”时，你可以想象一下如果没有老师会怎样。”由此可知，作者认为，这个世界上是不能没有老师的。即：没有老师的世界是无法想象的。]‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 England ‎ England is the biggest of the four countries in the United Kingdom.Over 50 million people live in England，which is around 80% of the total UK population.‎ ‎ 1 It is spoken today by billions of people all over the world.Many students go to England from other countries to study the language and learn about the culture.Although everyone speaks English，there are many different accents around the country.French was the official language in England between 1066 and 1362. 2 ‎ ‎ The English people love music. 3 Glastonbury is a fiveday festival of music，dance，comedy，and theatre and around 175,000 people go there.Many people stay at the festivals for a few days and they camp in tents.People listen to all types of music，especially pop and rock.England has produced many international groups and singers.‎ The most popular sports in England are football，rugby and cricket.Most towns have a football，rugby and cricket ground where teams can play. 4 Women's football is also popular.Cricket is a traditional sport played with a bat and a ball.People like to watch all these sports on TV.‎ England is a multicultural country. 5 Indian，Chinese and Italian foods are popular.Traditional English food includes fish and chips，roast beef，sausages and mashed potatoes.Many English people drink several cups of tea every day，usually with milk.However，different types of coffee are also popular.‎ A．The official language of England is English.‎ -
