Unit 4 Making the news reading課時作業(yè).閱讀理解A(2019河北承德一中高二檢測)Last weekend I was lucky enough to attend one of Spains most famous carnivals in the city of Cadiz. You can only understand why it is one of the most important carnivals in the world after seeing it for yourself. Everybody I saw，of all ages，was fancilydressed from top to toe，making me feel like I was in a fairytale world with singing and dancing all around the city centre.Almost instantly after stepping off the train in Cadiz，we were filled with joy，as everyone was in high spirits. A number of people parading through the streets playing traditional music filled people with happiness and craziness like I have never seen before. As we wandered around，we saw that the creativity of some costumes was incredible! From Shrek to Japanese wrestlers，the imagination and effort put into the fancy dresses was remarkable. You could really tell that people put a lot of time and energy into making some amazing costumes.Thentherewerethegroupsofmostlyoldmenwhowouldbepassionatelysingingsometraditionalsongs.Icouldtelltheyweresingingfromtheirheartwithsuchexcitement.Furthermore，the fact that I was not able to understand the inside jokes did not matter，as I was attracted by the actions and expressions they provided.

A moment that felt quite dreamlike was when we were dancing outside a convenience store with music provided by the owners booming through their speakers! Everyone who passed would be jamming along to the music.

They are made from a renewable source，break down easily，burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However，the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true?Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make the miss twenty times higher. Besides，the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags，which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling，the idea that paper bags are more environmentfriendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does paper.Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones，plastic still seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two. In Ireland，for example，a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag，and as a result，their use has dropped quickly.Theres no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However，we dont seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so，cloth bags are a better choice，but still，their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do？How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic？”It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question：“What can I do to help the environment？”語篇解讀文章列舉了一些數(shù)據(jù)來說明紙袋和塑料袋哪種更環(huán)保。不管怎樣，如何保護環(huán)境是我們所有人都需要關(guān)注的。5The questions in Paragraph 1 are used to_.Aexpress the authors doubtsBtell readers how to save moneyCintroduce points for discussionDshow the kindness of the cashier答案C解析推理判斷題。文章第一段說到“去超市購物，售貨員最后問我們用紙袋還是塑料袋”的問題，引出下文關(guān)于環(huán)保的討論，可知第一段的問題被用來引出下文要介紹的話題。故選C。6Compared with plastic bags，paper bags_.Aneed more water to produceBrequire less energy to recycleCtake more time to break downDhave less influence on forests答案A解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段前兩句“Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher.”可知，與塑料袋相比，紙袋的生產(chǎn)需要更多的水。故選A。7The underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 probably means“”AsharedBgiven upCdiscussedDput forward答案B解析詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段最后兩句可知，就回收而言，紙袋比塑料袋更環(huán)保的想法可以被很快放棄了。研究顯示，回收塑料比回收紙節(jié)省98%的能源。故選B。8Which question does the author probably hope the cashier will ask?APaper or cloth?BPaper or plastic?CA small bag or big one?DA new bag or your own one?答案D解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后的內(nèi)容“How should we answer the question of Paper or plastic？It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question：What can I do to help the environment？”我們應(yīng)該怎樣回答“紙袋還是塑料袋”的問題呢？似乎我們首先需要問自己一個更常規(guī)的問題“我應(yīng)該做什么來改善環(huán)境呢？”可知，作者希望收銀員問的問題是“新袋子還是自己的袋子？”故選D。.七選五(2019河南商丘九校高二檢測)Different CulturesThe cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 9The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by riversthe Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. 10When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture，another famous culture was brought upon the Mesopotamian Plainthe Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. 11 Like the Chinese culture，the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America，their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesnt distinguish from the European culture a lot.12 Take the language system for example. In the East，most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race difference count as well. But whats more，due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the West，the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost nointerference(干擾) from the other.The differences are everywhere. 13 But different cultures make the world of the 21st century more colorful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human beings. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.ALet us work to gether to keep a variety of cultures.BOne important thing is to learn about other cultures.CAnd these two are wellknown as the base of the European culture.DAt the same time，some other differences add to the cultural differences.EThis is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.FThey helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.GThey are obvious and affect peoples ways of thinking and their views of the world.答案9.E10.F11.C12.D13.G.完形填空(2019吉林梅河口五中高二檢測)On August 26, 2019，New York City was struck by a terrible rainstorm.
