When Paul Carston took over running the company in 1999, he felt that the company fitted in well with his values.The shirts were made from 100 percent cotton, and as Paul says,“It’s a completely natural fibre, so you would think it was environmentally sound.”Then Paul read a magazine article about Fair Trade and cotton producers.He was shocked to read that the cotton industry is a major source of pollution, and that the synthetic fertilisers (合成化肥) used to produce cotton are finding their way into the food chain. Paul takes up the story.“Organic cotton is considerably more expensive than conventionally produced cotton, so I did the sums.I discovered that if we were prepared to take a cut in profits, we would only need to add a couple of pounds to the price of each shirt to cover the extra costs.The big risk, of course, was whether our customers would pay extra for organic cotton.” Paul decided to take the plunge and switch entirely to organic cotton.He wrote to all his customers explaining the reasons for the change.The response was encouraging.Although they lost some of their regular customers, they gained a whole customer base looking for formal shirts made from organic cotton, and the company is going from strength to strength.4.What’s special about the company set up by James Carston?( )A.Its sales methods.B.Its loyal customers.C.Its excellent employees.D.Its production materials.5.What did Paul Carston find when he was reading a magazine?( )A.The ways of producing cotton.B.The synthetic fertilisers are harmful.C.Producing cotton causes pollution.D.The secrets of conducting business.6.What happened as a result of Paul Carston’s new move?( )A.Sales dropped rapidly.B.Cheaper cotton was used.C.The quality of shirts improved.D.The prices of shirts went down.7.What does the underlined phrase “take the plunge” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?( )A.Try one’s best. B.Seek one’s fortune.C.Take an easy step. D.Make a risky move.C (2024·沧州十校高一下月考)The ancient Chinese thinker Confucius regarded benevolence (仁) as the underpinning of morality and as the basis of all the virtues.There is a story in The History of the Three Kingdoms which can help us understand the concept of benevolence.The story goes that Cao Cao led a large army south to attack Jingzhou.At that time the military commander of Jingzhou, Liu Biao, had recently died of illness, and his second son, Liu Cong, had succeeded to his position.At the urging of his followers who wished to surrender the city, Liu Cong was preparing to capitulate (投降) to Cao Cao.Liu Bei had reached the city of Xiangyang, where the master strategist Zhuge Liang advised him to attack his ally Liu Cong.Zhuge Liang said that Liu Cong had already surrendered, and was about to deliver Jingzhou to Cao Cao.So it would be better if Jingzhou fell into their hands than into Cao Cao’s.“This is the very moment,” he said, “to attack Liu Cong.” But when Liu Bei remembered how Liu Cong’s father had once protected him, he could not attack Liu Cong.He told Zhuge Liang,“No, I have not the heart to do it.” This is an example of benevolence. This story gives us a glimpse of how Liu Bei used benevolence as his method of government.Liu Bei can be said to be a gentleman with the virtue of benevolence.In this, he stands in sharp contrast to Cao Cao.Liu Bei’s image of benevolence and righteousness won more of the people’s hearts for him.He gained the support of all the people and officials, which made him an outstanding figure in Chinese history.Benevolence is the first of the fine traditional virtues of the Chinese race.This spirit clearly demonstrates the kindheartedness and friendliness of the Chinese people.Everybody supports people of benevolence and love for others.8.What does the underlined phrase “succeeded to” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?( )A.Gave out. B.Took over.C.Turned down. D.Put forward.9.What did Zhuge Liang advise Liu Bei to do?( )A.To occupy Jingzhou.B.To give up Xiangyang.C.To capitulate to Cao Cao.D.To attack Cao Cao with Liu Cong.10.How did Zhuge Liang probably feel about Liu Bei’s decision?( )A.Satisfied. B.Surprised.C.Confused. D.Disappointed.11.What’s the purpose of the last paragraph?( )A.To make a summary.B.To offer a suggestion.C.To add a supplement.D.To provide an example.D A report says the shortage of skilled teachers in the United States is a bigger problem than people may think. The not-for-profit, Washington-based Economic Policy Institute, or EPI, published the report last week.It was the first in a six-part series that aims to examine the causes of — and solutions for — the national teacher shortage in US public schools.Education experts have long been concerned about rising teacher shortages.The issue has grown more severe in recent years. EPI’s report notes that less than 10 years ago, many teachers were looking for jobs.Then, in 2012, public schools were looking for teachers.That year, the country faced a shortage of 20,000 school teachers.By the 2017-2018 school year, the country was estimated to have a shortage of over 110,000 teachers. However, EPI researchers Emma Garcia and Elaine Weiss argue that such estimates are still far too low.They say the estimates do not consider that many current teachers lack necessary training, experience and official approval to teach. Garcia and Weiss found that, nationwide, one-third of teachers do not have an education background in the main subject that they teach.And, more than 20 percent have less than five years of teaching experience.About nine percent are teaching without the usual state certification. The study found those numbers to be even greater in high-poverty schools — where more than half of students receive free or reduced-cost meals.In such schools, almost 40 percent of teachers do not have previous education in the main subjects they teach.And about one-quarter have little classroom experience. More and more, qualified educators are either quitting or deciding not to enter the teaching field at all, the EPI report says.Many leave the field because of poor working conditions.They also object to low pay.The average yearly pay for public school teachers has fallen in recent years, even as the cost of living and other expenses continue to rise.12.What does the report by EPI mainly focus on about a teacher shortage?( )A.The future trend.B.The present situation.C.The reasons behind the problem.D.The consequences of the problem.13.How long has a teacher shortage existed in America?( )A.At least 5 years. B.At least 7 years.C.More than 10 years. D.More than 15 years.14.How did Garcia and Weiss feel about the present situation?( )A.Satisfied. B.Surprised.C.Ambiguous. D.Disappointed.15.What would be discussed in the paragraph that follows?( )A.How to do more research.B.How to solve the problem.C.Where the teachers have gone.D.Why people don’t like teaching.Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Winston Churchill said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” Or in the simple, beautiful words of an old Chinese proverb: “16.( ) If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune.If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.” 17.( ) A study by Professor Elizabeth Dunn of the University of British Columbia found that spending money on others promotes happiness more than spending money on oneself.In an experiment, participants were given an envelope containing either five or twenty dollars.Participants who spent the money on a gift for someone else or for a charitable donation reported greater happiness than those who spent the money on themselves. We hear throughout history, philosophy, and literature the same themes regarding giving.18.( ) It’s the source of true happiness, the meaning of life, the source of the greatest emotional and psychological returns.It’s the best way to recover from the worst tragedies.It’s a greater pleasure than the creation of wealth and the most direct route to happiness. 19.( ) What provides a feeling of security.What provides a sense of accomplishment.What gives inner peace.What brings great meaning, fulfillment, and happiness. 20.( ) Perhaps it is because we have not heard enough stories of how happy it can make us — stories from people we admire.I have had the privilege of meeting many of these people through my work.I’d heard their stories of how giving their time, resources, and talents to the causes they care about has brought them happiness and fulfillment far greater than they had ever imagined.A.So why don’t more of us give?B.Giving is what liberates the soul.C.Is it better to give than to receive?D.If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap.E.Modern science has proved this phenomenon.F.Giving is the most satisfying thing you’ll ever do.G.Some people are in the habit of taking instead of giving.Section Ⅳ LESSON 2 LANGUAGE LEARNING TIPS基础知识自测维度一1.odd 2.context 3.classic 4.strategy 5.beyond6.novel 7.worldwide 8.input 9.unfamiliar 10.acquire维度二1.normally 2.recommendation 3.sufficiently4.effectively 5.simplified 6.memorise 7.classical8.unfamiliar维度三1.to book your flight early2.has acquired a good knowledge of3.with a smile on her face4.is unfamiliar to5.am honoured to be invited6.in one way or another7.Apart from English class素养能力提升Ⅰ.语篇解读:本文是一篇应用文。《心灵鸡汤》是美国大型系列图书的著名品牌名称,本文是该图书官方网站发布的一则征稿启事。1.B 细节理解题。根据Guidelines for a Chicken Soup for the Soul story部分可知,投稿可以写自己的故事,也可以写身边其他人的故事。2.C 细节理解题。根据We Welcome Your Stories and Poems!部分可知,如果一则故事适用于两个话题或两本书,则写稿人可以同时投寄给两者。3.A 细节理解题。综合全文可知,本文是《心灵鸡汤》系列图书发布的一则征稿启事,主要提出了一些对投稿的具体要求和注意事项。语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。James Carston是一家衬衫制造公司。创始人James Carston的孙子Paul Carston大胆改革,采用有机棉来制作衬衫,结果大获成功。4.D 细节理解题。根据第一段可知,使得该衬衫公司与众不同的是它所采取的高质量织物。5.C 细节理解题。根据第二段可知,Paul Carston在读一本杂志时吃惊地发现,棉纺织业对环境造成严重污染。6.C 推理判断题。根据第三段可知,Paul Carston决定放弃传统棉花,今后的产品全部采用有机棉来制造。这样做的结果是产品的成本和价格都上涨,不过产品质量提高了。7.D 词义猜测题。根据上下文语境可知,Paul Carston决定用有机棉来代替传统棉花,这样做是有很大风险的。语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。三国时期,当荆州面临危险之际,刘备拒绝诸葛亮攻打荆州的建议,表现了刘备仁义的一面。8.B 词义猜测题。根据第二段可知,当时刘表去世,其子刘琮应该是继承或接管了其职位。9.A 细节理解题。根据第二段可知,由于当时刘琮打算投降曹操,诸葛亮建议刘备攻打荆州。诸葛亮的想法是:与其让荆州落入曹操之手,还不如刘备一方占领荆州。10.D 推理判断题。根据第二段可知,由于刘备念及荆州旧主刘表旧恩,没有听从诸葛亮攻打荆州的建议。由此可以判断,诸葛亮肯定很失望。11.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,本段主要是对上文故事进行总结,说明刘备受到后世好评的原因以及“仁义”在中国文化中的重要意义。语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。一份报告显示,美国近10年来面临严重的教师短缺问题,其背后的原因是什么呢?12.C 细节理解题。根据第二段可知,这份报告主要聚焦于教师短缺这一问题的原因以及解决办法。13.C 细节理解题。根据第三段可知,从2012年开始,美国公立学校就面临教师短缺问题。14.D 推理判断题。根据第五段可知,Garcia和Weiss发现,目前有一些美国老师缺乏教学经验,有一些没有合格的教学资格证书。15.B 推理判断题。本文主要转述了由EPI发布的一项报告的内容,而这项报告的核心是美国教师短缺的原因及应对办法。本文最后一段已经指出了原因,接下来则应该提出解决办法。Ⅱ.语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。英国前首相丘吉尔曾说过:“我们靠所得谋生,但我们靠付出生活。”本文作者论述了给予和付出的力量。16.D 下文的一组排比句都是“If you ...+祈使句”这一句式和表达,由此可知,D项符合语境。17.E 下文作者引用了一项科学研究,来支撑自己前面陈述的观点,由此可知,E项符合语境。18.F 下文各句都以It’s开头,进一步阐述给予的力量;显然,It都指代本段中的giving一词(也是本文的关键词),故F项符合语境。19.B 本段在继续阐述给予的神奇力量,这里之所以选B项是因为表语从句what liberates the soul与后面的What引起的句子形成并列。其实这几个并列的句子都相当于前面省略了Giving is的表语从句。20.A 下句中的Perhaps it is because暗示上句应该是提出了一个问原因的疑问句,故A项符合语境。6 / 6Section Ⅳ LESSON 2 LANGUAGE LEARNING TIPS 听说课前清障 ——排除疑难,胸有成竹1.和某人分享某事 2.准备好做某事 3.往(电台或电视台)打电话;打热线电话 4.取得进步 5.很荣幸做某事 6.不管怎样 7.come across 8.look up 9.catch on 10.apart from 11.end up in 12.have no difficulty in doing sth 话题听力提能 ——捕捉信息,精准判断Ⅰ.听教材听力9.3,回答第1至3题。1.What does Dr.Smith suggest Yang An do to memorize new words?( )A.Learn words in context.B.Write them down repeatedly.C.Create flashcards.2.According to Dr.Smith, what is a more effective way to learn grammar rules?( )A.Memorize them.B.Use them in speaking and writing activities.C.Focus on doing grammar exercises.3.What is the main topic of this radio program?( )A.Effective strategies for learning English.B.How to overcome difficulties in learning English.C.Learning English through literature and grammar exercises.Ⅱ.再听教材听力9.3,根据所听内容填空。1.Hello, Dr.Smith.I’ve spent a lot of time reading , but I’ve made little progress.My question is how to learn English .2.Well, my advice is to increase your knowledge of English .One way to do that is by .I would recommend that you try , such as short stories and novels rewritten in .The other way is to listen more, for example, listening to .With , I’m sure you can learn English effectively.3.Hello, Dr.Smith.I’m Su Qin.Learning grammar is for me.I’ve put so much time in memorising and doing a lot of , but my English is still .Ⅲ.听教材听力9.4,回答第1至3题。1.What is the main topic of this conversation?( )A.Different ways to learn English.B.Differences between American English and British English.C.How to improve English pronunciation.2.Which of the following words have different meanings in British English and American English, according to the conversation?( )A.Subway.

What does the man/woman buy?2. What colour does the man/woman want?3. What size does the man/woman want?4. What does the man/woman want to drink?【应试对策】在做此类听力题前,可以先快速地浏览题目,把集中点缩小到题目所涉及的内容,在听的时候特别注意其具体的信息点。获取信息点后,辨别选项,并进行适当推理,得出结论,这是解答此类题目的关键。【典例】 Q: What was George doing last night?A. Having a meeting.B.

When Paul Carston took over running the company in 1999, he feltthat the company fitted in well with his values.The shirts were made from100 percent cotton, and as Paul says,“It’s a completely naturalfibre, so you would think it was environmentally sound.”Then Paulread a magazine article about Fair Trade and cotton producers.He wasshocked to read that the cotton industry is a major source of pollution,and that the synthetic fertilisers (合成化肥) used to produce cotton arefinding their way into the food chain. Paul takes up the story.“Organic cotton is considerably moreexpensive than conventionally produced cotton, so I did the sums.Idiscovered that if we were prepared to take a cut in profits, we wouldonly need to add a couple of pounds to the price of each shirt to cover theextra costs.The big risk, of course, was whether our customers wouldpay extra for organic cotton.” Paul decided to take the plunge and switch entirely to organiccotton.He wrote to all his customers explaining the reasons for thechange.The response was encouraging.Although they lost some of theirregular customers, they gained a whole customer base looking for formalshirts made from organic cotton, and the company is going from strengthto strength.语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。James Carston是一家衬衫制造公司。创始人James Carston的孙子Paul Carston大胆改革,采用有机棉来制作衬衫,结果大获成功。语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。James Carston是一家衬衫制造公司。创始人James Carston的孙子Paul Carston大胆改革,采用有机棉来制作衬衫,结果大获成功。4.

This story gives us a glimpse of how Liu Bei used benevolence as hismethod of government.Liu Bei can be said to be a gentleman with thevirtue of benevolence.In this, he stands in sharp contrast to Cao Cao.LiuBei’s image of benevolence and righteousness won more of thepeople’s hearts for him.He gained the support of all the people andofficials, which made him an outstanding figure in Chinesehistory.Benevolence is the first of the fine traditional virtues of theChinese race.This spirit clearly demonstrates the kindheartedness andfriendliness of the Chinese people.Everybody supports people ofbenevolence and love for others.语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。三国时期,当荆州面临危险之际,刘备拒绝诸葛亮攻打荆州的建议,表现了刘备仁义的一面。语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。三国时期,当荆州面临危险之际,刘备拒绝诸葛亮攻打荆州的建议,表现了刘备仁义的一面。8.

The not-for-profit, Washington-based Economic Policy Institute,or EPI, published the report last week.It was the first in a six-part seriesthat aims to examine the causes of — and solutions for — the nationalteacher shortage in US public schools.Education experts have long beenconcerned about rising teacher shortages.The issue has grown more severein recent years. EPI’s report notes that less than 10 years ago, many teachers werelooking for jobs.Then, in 2012, public schools were looking forteachers.That year, the country faced a shortage of 20,000 schoolteachers.By the 2017-2018 school year, the country was estimated tohave a shortage of over 110,000 teachers. However, EPI researchers Emma Garcia and Elaine Weiss argue thatsuch estimates are still far too low.They say the estimates do not considerthat many current teachers lack necessary training, experience andofficial approval to teach. Garcia and Weiss found that, nationwide, one-third of teachers donot have an education background in the main subject that theyteach.And, more than 20 percent have less than five years of teachingexperience.About nine percent are teaching without the usual statecertification. The study found those numbers to be even greater in high-povertyschools — where more than half of students receive free or reduced-costmeals.In such schools, almost 40 percent of teachers do not haveprevious education in the main subjects they teach.And about one-quarterhave little classroom experience. More and more, qualified educators are either quitting or decidingnot to enter the teaching field at all, the EPI report says.Many leave thefield because of poor working conditions.They also object to low pay.Theaverage yearly pay for public school teachers has fallen in recent years,even as the cost of living and other expenses continue to rise.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。一份报告显示,美国近10年来面临严重的教师短缺问题,其背后的原因是什么呢?语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。一份报告显示,美国近10年来面临严重的教师短缺问题,其背后的原因是什么呢?12.

Why people don’t like teaching.解析: 推理判断题。本文主要转述了由EPI发布的一项报告的内容,而这项报告的核心是美国教师短缺的原因及应对办法。本文最后一段已经指出了原因,接下来则应该提出解决办法。15.What would be discussed in the paragraph that follows?( )Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Winston Churchill said, “We make a living by what we get,but we make a life by what we give.” Or in the simple, beautiful wordsof an old Chinese proverb: “16.( ) If you want happiness for aday, go fishing.If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune.Ifyou want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.” 17.

D 下文的一组排比句都是“If you ...+祈使句”这一句式和表达,由此可知,D项符合语境。语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。英国前首相丘吉尔曾说过:“我们靠所得谋生,但我们靠付出生活。”本文作者论述了给予和付出的力量。17. E 下文作者引用了一项科学研究,来支撑自己前面陈述的观点,由此可知,E项符合语境。18. F 下文各句都以It’s开头,进一步阐述给予的力量;显然,It都指代本段中的giving一词(也是本文的关键词),故F项符合语境。19. B 本段在继续阐述给予的神奇力量,这里之所以选B项是因为表语从句what liberates the soul与后面的What引起的句子形成并列。其实这几个并列的句子都相当于前面省略了Giving is的表语从句。20. A 下句中的Perhaps it is because暗示上句应该是提出了一个问原因的疑问句,故A项符合语境。谢谢观看! 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 Section Ⅳ LESSON 2 LANGUAGE LEARNING TIPS.docx Section Ⅳ LESSON 2 LANGUAGE LEARNING TIPS.pptx Section Ⅳ LESSON 2 LANGUAGE LEARNING TIPS(练习,含解析).docx
