　　贵阳市2014高考英语（新人教版）一轮阅读训练（30）附答案

　　课时作业(三十)　[选修6　Unit 5 The power of nature](限时：45分钟)阅读理解A[2012·湖北卷] after living abroad for a few years. Since you've been away, has this country changed for the better—or for the worse?

　　If you've just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight's holiday, small changes have probably surprised you—anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobile­phone shop to someone in your street moving house.

　　So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven, ten or even 15 years living abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed—or now take for granted? To find out, we asked some people who recently returned.

　　Debi: When we left, Cheltenham, my home town, was a town of white, middle­class families—all very conservative(保守的). The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism. There are even several shops only for foreigners.

　　Having been an immigrant(移民) myself, I admire people who go overseas to find a job. Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high, I'd think differently, but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because they're more open­minded and often work harder than the natives.

　　Christine: As we flew home over Britain, both of us remarked how green everything looked. But the differences between the place we'd left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed.

　　To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening梚n Cyprus, ethey're very relaxed—and I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with some metal­made buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall. Everyone seemed to be on guard. Even the airport car­hire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.

　　But anyway, this is still a green, beautiful country. I just wish more people would appreciate what they've got.

　　16．After a short overseas holiday, people tend to ________．exaggerate small changes

　　17．How does Debi look at the foreign settlers?

　　A．Cautiously.

　　B．Positively.

　　D．Critically.

　　18．When arriving at the airport in Britain, Christine was shocked by ________．Life in Britain.

　　B．Back in Britain.rtful treasures, creating beautiful floors with wood pieces, kitchen counters from ivory­colored bones and roofs out of license plates(牌照)．ave ended up in a garbage area.

　　“People have been doing this for hundreds of thousands of years; using whatever is available to build shelter，” Phillips said，“If you think about carefully what could be used, then building materials are everywhere.”rteen homes he has built so far would fit better in an art museum than the residential streets of Huntsville, a conservative town of about 35，000 people.Almost every day, somebody knocks on the door and says ‘Is there any way that we could see？’”said Edie Wells, an artist who rents a room in the Bone House.Her home features a stairway made of bones, floors covered in wine corks(软木塞) and beer bottle caps.Wells said visitors are most impressed when they see a bathroom with its walls, floor and ceiling entirely covered with broken mirror pieces.

　　In addition, each house is highly energy­efficient with plenty of insulation(隔热材料), an on­demand solar hot water heater and a system that can collect and recycle rainwater to clean the toilet and wash clothes.，000 it builds affordable homes for single parents, low­income families and artists.and by using the Internet to reach out to like­minded individuals.Phillips said, “I'm not going to be saving the world anytime soon.But there needs to be at least some visibility for this model in this century.”

　　20．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the homes built by Phillips?

　　A．Environmentally­friendly.

　　　B．Energy­efficient.　D．Cheap.B．He is full of imagination and intelligence.

　　C．It didn't take him long to build the houses.

　　D．He didn't give speeches in the United States.

　　22．According to the passage, the houses are like artful treasures because they are ________．

　　A．made of bones

　　B．museums

　　C．admired by people

Here are some reasons.

　　Firstly, riding a bike to and from school is very common among the students, for buying or repairing a bicycle doesn't cost a lot. Next, parking a bicycle is easy and convenient in our school, no matter how busy the traffic could be. Actually, bicycle­riding is also a practical way to do exercise and protect the environment. What you should do carefully is just to keep an appropriate speed while riding and lock it after you're off it. In this way, you'll feel it simple and relaxing to ride a bicycle while you're here.

　　Hopefully, what I've mentioned above could be helpful and wish you a fun time in our school.

　　Yours，

　　请根据下面提供的情景, 写一篇100词左右的短文。

　　Your friend Lily tells you, "I am suffering from depression (沮丧, 消沉). I have trouble sleeping. I'm often tired. When I think about the future I feel hopeless. I don't enjoy anything. I am never happy. I don't laugh or smile any more." You need to give her some suggestions and tell her what she should do.

　　参考范文

　　第一篇

　　One possible version:

　　Lily, don't be upset. I have some pieces of advice for you. First of all, whenever you feel blue, try listening to some songs, because music has been proved to have great effect on smoothing pressure. If you still feel depressed, look at yourself in a mirror and smile for no less than 30 seconds, then you will believe that nothing is serious and have a good mood. Of course, you had better try to find any good friend you can trust to talk to. I do hope these will help you. Please believe tomorrow will be better and our life will be full of sunshine!

　　************************************************结束

　　.阅读理解The old­fashioned general store is fast disappearing.This is，perhaps，a pity，because shopping today seems to lack those personal elements which existed when the shopkeeper knew all his regular customers personally.He could，for instance，remember which brand of tea Mrs.Smith usually bought or what sort of washing powder Mrs.Jones preferred.Not only was the shop a center of buying and selling，but a social meeting place.

　　A prosperous(繁荣的) general store might have employed four or five assistants，and so there were very few problems in management as far as the staff(全体职员) was concerned.But now that the supermarket has replaced the general store，the job of the manager has changed completely.The modern supermarket manager has to cope with a staff of as many as a hundred，apart from all the other everyday problems of running a large business.

　　Every morning the manager must，like the commander of an army division，carry out an inspection of his supermarket to make sure that everything is ready for the business of the day.He must see that everything is running smoothly.He will have to give advice and make decisions as problems arise，and he must know how to get his huge staff to work efficiently with their respective responsibilities.No matter what he has to do throughout the day，the supermarket manager must be ready for any emergency that may arise.They say in the trade that you are not really an experienced supermarket manager until you have dealt with a flood，a fire，a birth and a death in your store.
