高中英語(yǔ) Unit 4 Earthquakes Period Two課時(shí)作業(yè) 新人教版必修1.doc

Period Two Learning about Language.閱讀理解AEveryone knows the earth is big，most of which is covered by water.About ninety percent of the worlds water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas.But as we cant drink seawater，how can it be important?Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths.Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food.These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen.In fact，algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe.How important seawater is! Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain.The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals，which are in turn consumed by larger animals.These food chains are delicately balanced.The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man.People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didnt matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food.But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.Thankfully，the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats.Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution.Finally，the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people.This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future.We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet.How important seawater is!【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。說(shuō)明了海洋資源的重要性、目前海洋資源所面臨的危險(xiǎn)以及政府所采取的保護(hù)措施。1What does the underlined word “delicately” mean?Aeasily-damaged Bhard-brokenCsimply-made Dbeautifully 答案A詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上下文，我們可以猜出delicately是“脆弱地，容易損壞地”的意思。2In the past，people hold the view that the rubbish _Awould kill the animal in the seaBwould change the balance of the seaCwould pollute the seaDwouldnt have a bad influence on the sea答案D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didnt matter if we dumped rubbish into them.”可知人們過(guò)去以為海洋那么大，扔進(jìn)一點(diǎn)垃圾不會(huì)對(duì)海洋造成多大的影響。3Which is the best title of the passage? AThe importance of seawater.BFishing on the oceans.CImportance of food chains.DHow to deal with seawater pollution.答案A主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章的第一段，以及第二段和最后一段的末句可知文章的中心是在說(shuō)明海水的重要性。BWhen the earthquake hit Japan on March 11，2011，workers in a supermarket in Japan didnt run away when they felt the shaking.Instead，they held on the shelves and tried to stop the goods (貨物) from falling down.Reporters from NHK，the countrys largest TV station，stayed calm in front of cameras during the earthquake，even though some were facing real danger.The earthquake was the most powerful one to hit Japan in the countrys history.But Japans reaction (反應(yīng)) to the accident has shown that it is the most earthquakeprepared country in the world.The calm the Japanese showed during and after the quake has impressed the world.This is because Japan has “an earthquake culture”Japanese people are taught how to prepare for and react to earthquakes from a young age.Schools in Japan organize earthquake practices every month.They make students become familiar with being in an earthquake.Japan also has a good earthquake warning system (警報(bào)系統(tǒng))Warnings were broadcast on television，radio and mobile phones nine seconds after experts (專家) first knew about the quake on March 11.The warning system is unable to predict earthquakes.But it can usually alert people about 15 seconds before they feel the effects.Even 15 or 20 seconds can be enough time to save peoples lives.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文是記敘文。講述了在2011年3月11日的日本大地震中，人們面對(duì)地震表現(xiàn)地非常鎮(zhèn)靜；并且講述了日本的地震文化以及介紹了日本先進(jìn)的地震報(bào)警系統(tǒng)。4After experts first knew

branches above me.It is one of the last days of summer.Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler.Some kinds of apples are already ripe (成熟的)Others will be ready to pick soon.I think of my grandmothers apple pie，and how I used to make it with her.She died last year，before the apple harvest，and I have not had her pie since.I really miss her.I hear bees busily humming about，visiting the late summer flowers.The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep.The sky is as blue as my grandfathers eyes.Above me，big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind.School starts in another week，and time seems to have slowed down.“Sophie！” calls my grandfather.“Is that you？” I stand up，take his hand，and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard.We talk about apples，and bees，and Grandma.He tells me that he misses her too.He puts his rough，brown farmers hand around my shoulder and pulls me close.“You know，Sophie，” he says，“I spent the morning in the attic (閣樓)，and youll never guess what I found.Its the recipe (烹飪法) for Grandmas apple pie.I used to help her make it sometimes.I cant do it all alone，but you used to help her too.Maybe between the two of us，we can work it out.Want to try？”“But it wont be the same without Grandma，” I tell him.“Thats true，” he says，“but nothing_is_the_same_without_GrandmaStill，I dont think that she would want us never to have another apple pie.What do you say？” I nod yes，and we walk towards home.towards an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen，making Grandmas famous apple pie.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】Sophie在果園里看到枝頭的蘋(píng)果，想起了她的奶奶，想起了奶奶做的蘋(píng)果派。她的爺爺找到了她奶奶制作蘋(píng)果派的方法，他們祖孫倆一起學(xué)做蘋(píng)果派。蘋(píng)果派寄托了Sophie和爺爺對(duì)奶奶的深切懷念。 7We learn from the passage that Sophie_Alikes to
