Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

Summer is that time of this year 2023 when everyone looks to escape from boring activities of life.So bring your kids to join us to have fun in the summer camp.

OutdoorWordGame

All you need to do is set up many huge letters that can be easily moved.These letters will help kids spell out certain words.Teenagers would also love something like this as it gives them opportunities to invest their time in learning new words.

SprayPainting

To bring out the creativity in a person,an activity centered on spray painting is the perfect way to get those creative juices flowing.All you need to do is provide plain white T-shirts and some cans of coloured spray paint.It will be quite surprising to see some of the original ideas that will flow from individuals.

OutdoorTwister

A person will be in charge of monitoring the game and will call out colours which can be placed outdoors.Participants have the task of placing either their hands or legs on the same colour.A fun and exciting game focuses on hand—eye coordination(协调).

TheMaze(迷宫)

One of the most fun games is the hallway maze game where a maze is constructed(建造) from either toilet paper or strings of paper.The chosen participant is then asked to make his or her way through the maze within a limited time without touching paper.This is one of the best and entertaining summer camp ideas for kids and adults.

1.Which game will use toilet paper?

A.Spray Painting.

B.The Maze.

C.Outdoor Twister.

D.Outdoor Word Game.

2.What should you prepare for Spray Painting?

A.Some juice cans.

B.Some huge letters.

C.Some white T-shirts and paint.

D.Some white T-shirts and colour boards.

3.What is the rule of the maze game?

A.Participants must avoid touching the construction.

B.Participants must do the same outdoors.

C.Participants must use either their hands or legs.

D.Participants must be teens or kids only.

B

What do you plan to do when you retire?Keep working?Get more exercise?Or learn something new?You may put them on hold.There’s a chance that,sooner or later,you might have to move further than you were thinking,as far as Mars. 

On Thursday,NationalGeographic will show the first-ever Mars show home,giving earthlings(地球人) an idea of what their life could look like on the red planet.In the not-so-distant year of 2037,the igloo-shaped structure could be the home of your future.

It shows a house built using recycled spacecraft parts and Martian soil,called regolith,which has been microwaved into bricks.Some parts of the home are recognizable—a kitchen,a bedroom—but there are fundamental differences that are important to human survival.

As the Martian atmosphere is around one hundredth as thick as the Earth’s,people will need permanent(永久的) shelter from the sun;society will move largely indoors.Most buildings will be connected by underground passages and the houses won’t have windows.The homes will have simulated solar lighting or natural light that has been bent several times.Walls will need to be 10 to 12 feet thick,to protect people from dangerous rays(光线) that can pass through six feet of steel.The homes will also have a double air-locked entrance to keep the home under proper pressure.

“We don’t think of our houses as things that keep us alive,but on Mars your house will be a survival centre,” says Stephen Petranek,author of HowWe’llLiveonMars.This is not just the stuff of sci-fi.“10 to 20 years from now,there will certainly be people on Mars,” Petranek says.

“We’ve had the technology for 30 years to land people on Mars,but we haven’t had the will,” Petranek says.But two main factors have “completely swung public attitudes”.

The private companies’ participation has forced government agencies to speed up their game,and influential films such as Gravity and TheMartian have caught people’s attention.

4.What do the underlined words “put them on hold” in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A.Put them off.

B.Give them away.

C.Carry them through.

D.Take them seriously.

5.What can we infer about the show home from the text?

A.It has no windows or doors due to security concern.

B.Its design presents the idea of environmental protection.

C.It has thick walls keeping the home under proper pressure.

D.Its underground passages connect all the buildings together.

6.According to Petranek,what has sped up the process of sending people to Mars?

A.The development of related technology.

B.The competition from private companies.

C.The great influence of the Mars show home.

D.The popularity of influential books on Mars.

7.What is the best title for the text?

A.Living on Mars:Possible or Not

B.Sending People to Mars:Yes or No

C.First-ever Show Home:How Is It Made

D.Future Home on Mars:What Will It Be Like

Ⅱ.七选五

For years,Jessica and Eric have lived down the street from their favorite sandwich shop.Despite its being so close to home,they preferred to dine in,and always tipped generously when they did.But,during the pandemic in 2020,the cafe temporarily closed,then reopened—for takeout orders only.So their new routine became to order online,go pick up their food,and eat it at home.　1　 

That is,until the day they drove up and a waitress ran out to meet them.“I was wondering if I’m doing something wrong,because you never leave a tip,” she said.Eric attempted to explain:“Because we aren’t being waited on,we didn’t think tipping was necessary.”　2　“She stormed off,” Jessica says. 

The pandemic has been particularly hard on people working for tips.Some haven’t been able to do their jobs at all,while others don’t interact with customers the same way.　3　 Meanwhile,many customers felt the need to tip more because of the new risks and hardships that essential service workers suddenly faced. 

“　4　 We were tipping based on emotion,and that may not have had anything to do with the service.And that service also became harder to assess,” says Toni Dupree,a professional etiquette(礼仪) coach.Some old standards no longer seem fair,and several newer ones will apply long after the pandemic is over. 

Next time,in Dupree’s view,you’re unsure whether a tip is in order,follow this simple rule:　5　 The novelist George Eliot asked,“What do we live for if not to make the world less difficult for each other?” Dupree adds:“Tipping well is one way to make things easier for someone else.” 

A.When in doubt,tip.

B.That made it worse.

C.It is service itself that counts.

D.Tipping never crossed their minds.

E.To enjoy good services,tipping is a must.

F.Just as many services have changed,so should tipping.

G.Tips dried up in either case,causing a lot of people to suffer.

单元提能强化练

Ⅰ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了几种适合孩子参加的夏令营活动。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。在未来,人类将有可能去火星居住,那里的房子有与地球上完全不同的构造和风格。文章主要描述了未来火星上的房子的样子。

4.A　词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的“Keepworking?Getmoreexercise?Orlearnsomethingnew?”可知,这是一些退休后的具体打算;同时根据画线词后面的“There’sachancethat,soonerorlater,youmighthavetomovefurtherthanyouwerethinking,asfarasMars.”可知,现在做这些计划还早,未来你可能会搬家到更远的地方。因此推断画线部分所在句的句意为:你可能要把它们搁置起来。画线部分表示“推迟这些打算”,故选A项。

5.B　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“ItshowsahousebuiltusingrecycledspacecraftpartsandMartiansoil,calledregolith,whichhasbeenmicrowavedintobricks.”可知,房屋的设计显示了环境保护的理念。故选B项。

Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是由于疫情原因人们对于给小费的观念也发生了改变。作者认为应该尽量给小费。

1.D　根据下文可知,疫情期间他们理所应当地认为没必要付小费。D项“Tippingnevercrossedtheirminds.”与下文一致。

2.B　根据下文“Shestormedoff”可知,在他们解释之后情况更糟糕了。B项“Thatmadeitworse.”与上下文一致,符合文意。

3.G　根据上文可知,上文提到两种情况:一种是“完全不能进行工作”,另一种是“不能以往常的方式与顾客交流”。所以选项在总结说明这两种情况都得不到小费。G项“Tipsdriedupineithercase,causingalotofpeopletosuffer.”中的“ineithercase(无论哪种情况)”与之相呼应。

4.F　根据下文可知,这里讲的是给小费的方式。F项“Justasmanyserviceshavechanged,soshouldtipping.”引出了下文,与文意一致。

5.A　首先注意到这里填的是一个simplerule,字数应很少,以祈使句为佳。根据下文“Tippingwellisonewaytomakethingseasierforsomeoneelse.”可知,本段号召人们给小费。A项“Whenindoubt,tip.”形式和意思都符合要求。

Ⅲ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过回忆高中毕业时同学的一次恶作剧,从而想到人的一生总会做出这样或那样的选择,避免麻烦的方式就是在最初就避免犯错。

1.B　从后句得知同学们高中毕业后各自有不同的打算,所以作者和同学们要分道扬镳,走不同的路了,故选B项。

2.C　此处讲的是同学们不同的规划,有人找到了工作,结合选项与“工作”呼应且符合语境的只有“结婚”,故选C项。

3.D　从下一句内容可知前一天晚上他们去捉弄了校长,第二天有些犯困,所以是“打哈欠”,故选D项。

4.C　由“毕业前”可知他和几个朋友准备在毕业前最后一次再捉弄一下校长。故选C项。

5.A　由前文可知他们打算最后捉弄一下校长,所以是“溜进”校长的家里。slipovertoone’shome表示“偷偷溜进某人的家”,故选A项。

6.D　根据“anythingwaswrong”可知,校长在台上并没有说明有什么异常的,也看不出任何异常的迹象,故选D项。

7.A　由空前一句“我深吸了一口气”可以看出作者是紧张地爬上台阶,故选A项。

8.B　由前文内容可知这是一个毕业典礼,校长给同学们发毕业证书,所以给作者毕业证书盒,故选B项。

9.C　由“找到我的名字”可知作者确认自己毕业了,故选C项。

10.A　那个搞恶作剧的朋友看到盒子里没有毕业证书,只有一卷厕纸,知道校长也搞恶作剧了,所以我们都大笑起来。故选A项。

11.D　由下文内容提到“每个人的选择会造就不同的人生”可知此处表达“我们的选择塑造了我们的人生”,故选D项。

12.B　校长被捉弄了但没有生气和处罚他们,并且还用同样的方式捉弄这些同学让大家很开心,由此可知,校长是一个具有幽默感的人。故选B项。

13.C　根据句意“有时候我们做错事是很幸运的”和“有时我们不是”可知前后文为转折关系,所以应用still(但)连接,故选C项。

14.A　becomeof 成为,会怎么样;bringabout 引起;getacross 通过,理解;bringout 出版,生产。作者在此处讲述不同的选择造就不同的人生,作者是毕业的人,所以会想没有毕业的人后来怎么样了,故选A项。

15.D　作者认为对人生造成影响的是我们的选择,所以想要远离麻烦,可以选择一开始就避免它,这是最可靠的方法,故选D项。

Ⅳ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明,经常参加学校的体育活动对学生未来的学习有帮助。

1.children　考查名词。根据后文中的“their”可知,此处应用复数形式。

2.Researchers　考查名词复数。所填的词作主语,指人,前面没有冠词,所以用复数形式,又因在句首,故首字母需大写。

3.beneficial　考查形容词。所填的词作表语,所以用形容词形式。benefit的形容词形式是beneficial。

4.who　考查定语从句。先行词是those,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用who。

5.better　考查比较级。根据后面的than可知,此处要用比较级。

6.provided　考查非谓语动词。provide和information有逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词作定语。

7.up　考查动词短语。growup意为“长大”,是固定搭配。

8.clearly　考查副词。分析句子成分可知,所填的词修饰形容词,所以用副词形式。

9.remaining　考查非谓语动词。所填的词和前面的“following”并列,作介词at的宾语,所以填remaining。

10.the　考查冠词。importance后面有定语修饰,所以是特指,填the。
