2020届一轮复习人教版必修四Unit4Body language单元作业 一) Warming Up & Reading — Pre reading Ⅰ.阅读理解 A In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited. About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seemed all at_sea and looked embarrassed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus. Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty. 语篇解读:文章以一个小故事作为开头,向我们介绍了英国人的乘车习惯,并进一步向我们介绍了不同国家肢体语言的内涵。 1.The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen ________. A.were foreigners B.didn't have tickets C.made a loud noise D.didn't line up for the bus 解析:选D 细节理解题。由第一段的“No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that ... on the bus.”可知,英国人因为这三位外国人没有排队而将他们推到一边。 2.According to the article, if you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you should ________. A.learn the language of the country B.understand the manners and customs of the country C.have enough time and money D.make friends with the people there 解析:选B 细节理解题。由第二段第二句话“If you want to have a pleasant ... your host country.”可知,当我们到国外旅行时,应该对目标国的风俗有所了解。 3.What does the underlined phrase “at sea” probably mean? A.Tired. B.Disappointed. C.Pleased. D.Confused. 解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据画线短语后的一句话可知,这三位外国人对英国的风俗并不知情,由此可知,当他们面对英国人当时的反应时会感到迷惑。 4.In India it is considered impolite to________. A.use the right hand for passing food at table B.pass food with the left hand C.eat food with your hands D.help yourself at table 解析:选B 细节理解题。由第二段的“A visitor to India would do well ... left hand for passing food at table.”可知,在印度用左手递食物被认为是不礼貌的。 B Car companies such as Tesla and Nissan have been leading the way in electric car technology. What makes these cars “green” is that because they run on electricity instead of gasoline, they do not give off any polluting greenhouse gases. The Toyota Mirai is also a kind of green car, since it is powered by a hydrogen fuel battery (氢燃料电池). Hydrogen, as you know, exists in large quantities on the earth. It was used to power gaslights for centuries before electric lights came along. Hydrogen fuel can be made from many sources including solar, natural gas and even rubbish. In terms of energy contained, 9.5 kg of hydrogen is equal to 25 kg of gasoline. According to Toyota, the two tanks on the Mirai hold 5 kg of hydrogen, and can cover a distance of over 300 miles. This is twice the output of gasoline cars. In a hydrogen fuel battery, the one proton (质子) and one electron in a hydrogen atom are broken up. While the electrons power the car, the positivelycharged hydrogen proton combines with the oxygen atom to produce water. The process also produces a lot of heat which turns this water into water vapor. This is the reason that cars running on hydrogen fuel batteries give off water vapor from their exhaust pipes when running. According to Toyota, it takes only 5 minutes to refill a hydrogen tank, which is much quicker than charging electric cars. However, the biggest challenge for the company is the availability of hydrogencharging stations. California and the New England states are in the process of building a hydrogen superhighway — with charging stations along the way. Countries like Germany, Japan and the UK are also adding more charging stations. The Toyota Mirai began to be available in the US in the second half of 2015 for $57,500. This hydrogenfueled car will probably take the place of gasoline cars in the near future. After all, it is an energysaving and environment friendly car. 5.According to the passage, hydrogen ________. A.is a newlydiscovered energy source B.can only be made from limited sources C.provides more energy than an equal amount of gasoline D.will soon become the main fuel for most of Toyota's cars 解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In terms of energy contained, 9.5 kg of hydrogen is equal to 25 kg of gasoline.”可知,同等量的氢比汽油所提供的能量更多,故选C。 6.The third paragraph is mainly about ________. A.how the Toyota Mirai works B.why hydrogen is very popular C.advantages and disadvantages of hydrogen D.the components of a hydrogen fuel battery 解析:选A 段落大意题。根据第三段的内容可知,本段主要讲述的是丰田推出的这款利用氢燃料电池来驱动的Mirai汽车是如何工作的,故选A。 7.What can we learn about the Toyota Mirai? A.It runs on both gasoline and hydrogen. B.It has become a great threat to other electric cars. C.It gives off only a few polluting greenhouse gases. D.It may sell well with more charging stations around. 解析:选D 推理判断题。根据文中多处提及的该车的优点和第四段中的“the biggest challenge ... the availability of hydrogencharging stations”可知,如果将来能够配备足够多的充气站,那么该车的销量可能会很好,故选D。 8.What would be the best title for the passage? A.A new wave of green cars B.The benefits of electric cars C.Tesla:a leading car company D.Hydrogen: a future energy source 解析: 选A 标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了丰田公司推出的一款新能源汽车——Mirai。这款利用氢燃料电池来驱动的汽车有着诸多靠汽油驱动的汽车所不具备的优点,故A项作文章标题最恰当。 C Louis Sachar is the author of more than 20 books that are loved by children, parents and teachers. You might recognize his name from the series of Wayside School books or Marvin Redpost books. You might also know him as the author of the Newbery Awardwinning book Holes. As successful as Louis Sachar is at writing funny, touching books, he didn't always know he wanted to be a writer. He remembers enjoying writing in school. In college he studied the Russian language. He spent some time as a teacher's helper when he was in college and found he really enjoyed working with young people. Even after his experiences teaching and working with children, Sachar still hadn't decided what career he wanted to have. After college he attended law school and got a law degree several years later. About ten years later, after writing several books, Sachar finally felt that his books were successful enough for him to write full time. Sachar spends two hours writing each morning when he feels most fresh. He likes to be alone when he writes, except for the company (陪伴) of his two dogs. He tries to remember what it was like to be a child and to use these feelings in his books. He also uses his teaching experiences, as well as his daughter's life. Sachar doesn't sit down with an organized plan when he starts a new book. Instead he starts with just a seed (萌芽) of an idea, maybe a character trait (个性特征) or a funny event. He starts writing and finds that writing produces more ideas. Sachar doesn't worry about perfecting his story the first time around. In fact, he may write his story five or six times before he sends it to the publisher. 9.What do we know about Sachar's writing career? A.He studied writing in college. B.He wrote about young people in school. C.He didn't decide to be a fulltime writer at first. D.He didn't start writing until he became a teacher. 解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As successful as Louis Sachar ... he wanted to be a writer”, “Even after his experiences ... he wanted to have”, “About ten years later ... to write full time”等内容可知,Sachar一开始并没有想成为一名全职作家。 10.What might be a source of ideas for Sachar's stories? A.His two dogs. B.His childhood life. C.Other authors' books. D.His lawyer experiences. 解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“He tries to remember what it was like to be a child and to use these feelings in his books”可知,Sachar的写作灵感之一来源于其儿时经历。 11.Which of the following describes Sachar's writing habit? A.He writes with his daughter around. B.He starts with an unclear plan. C.He feels most fresh at night. D.He writes all day long. 解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Sachar doesn't sit down with an organized plan when he starts a new book”可知,Sachar开始创作一本新书时,脑海中并没有一个清晰的写作计划。 12.What might Sachar do after he finishes a book for the first time? A.He keeps on improving it. B.He starts writing another one. C.He asks friends to check it for mistakes. D.He sends it to the publisher for perfection. 解析:选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知,Sachar往往会对其书籍的初稿进行五、六遍的润色。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Questions to Ask Before Getting Your Child a Cellphone At what age should you get your child a cellphone? __1__ However, before you decide to add your child to your family plan, ask yourself these questions. __2__ If you and your child are not often apart beyond school hours, a cellphone may not be a serious necessity, but if he is independent or involved in extracurricular (课外的) activities outside your home, a cellphone could be useful, especially during emergencies as a convenient means of communication with you. Does your child understand the cost? Make sure your child understands the cost of having a cellphone. __3__ Some options to help control costs include prepaid and postpaid phones, setting a monthly budget for your child. How can you keep your child's phone usage safe and under control? Before you get your child a phone, you should discuss what it can be used for, rules he is expected to follow, and consequences if he fails to follow them. __4__ __5__ If you prefer to take an extra step towards monitoring his phone use, these application programs allow you to track your child's mobile activity. A.Who needs a cellphone? B.How can you determine whether or not to buy a cellphone for your child? C.You ask your child to make use of his cellphone for learning. D.Also be sure that he can be trusted to stay within his limits from month to month. E.Also, educate yourself on what social media apps are popular with teens. F.According to Pew Research Center, the average age is between 12 and 13. G.For example, is the phone only to be used to call family, or can it be used socially? 语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。孩子要不要买手机?什么时候给孩子买手机合适?为什么需要手机?如何规划手机产生的费用?文章就这些问题给出了适当的解释。 1.选F 根据文章的大意和本段首句中的关键信息词“At what age”可知,回答的问题涉及孩子的年龄,故选项F符合语境。 2.选B 根据下一段中的两个if条件句,“如果你孩子不常离开你们……”和“如果你孩子很独立或常参加课外活动……”来确定该不该买手机,由此可推断出该段的标题为“How can you determine whether or not to buy a cellphone for your child”。 3.选D 由上一句提出的“the cost of having a cellphone”和后一句分析的几种选择的方式可知,此空该填入D项合适。此外,“Also be sure”与“Make sure”相呼应。 4.选G 由前一句中的关键信息“discuss what it can be used for, rules ... and consequences if he fails to follow them”即可推断出,“For example, is the phone only to be used to call family, or can it be used socially”符合语境。G项举例说明了孩子该如何使用手机。 5.选E 由空格后一句中的关键信息“these application programs allow you to track your child's mobile activity”即可推断出E项符合语境。E项中的“social media apps”与下文中的“these application programs”相照应。 二) Warming Up & Reading — Language Points 一、全练语言点,基稳才能楼高 Ⅰ.单词拼写 1.Soon afterwards he made his first public statement (声明) about the affair. 2.Absorbed in painting, John didn't notice evening approached (降临). 3.Vancouver is a major (重要的) city of Canada. 4.There must have been some misunderstanding (误会).

If you're a guest at an Affinia hotel, the staff (员工) will try to find out what you need just by looking at you. The Affinia Hotel Collection is improving service in its five hotels in New York City and one each in Chicago and Washington, D.C. Everyone from housekeeping to management will communicate with guests based on body language. A body language expert trained employees on what cues (信号) to look for. A guest who makes eye contact (接触) while walking down the hall, for example, may be open to conversation. A businessman frequently touching an ear is probably nervous and may be interested in a therapeutic pillow (理疗枕头). “So many companies, when they talk about service, they program it to how many rings till you answer the phone,” says John Moser, marketing officer for Affinia. “That doesn't sound very reasonable. Let's give employees some tools they can use to find out what's the right way to talk with somebody at a particular time.” Patti Wood, a body language expert who carried out the Affinia training, says she has never seen such training given to all hotel employees. “All of the training is to make sure every single guest is treated as special,” she says. Staff questions about a guest's day won't disappear, Moser says. But, he says, small talk isn't always enough to get a reading of a guest's needs: “You can't always tell from the first sentence whether someone is happy or unhappy,” he says. “Measuring some of the things they're showing, with the way they're talking to you, can help our employees provide a service that's more personal for them.” 语篇解读:本文是说明文。为了提供更好的服务,Affinia连锁酒店培训员工识别客人的肢体语言。 1.What are Affinia hotels doing? A.Understanding their employees better. B.Setting up new hotels in different cities. C.Improving their employees' body language. D.Training employees to understand guests' needs better. 解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段末的“Everyone from housekeeping to management will communicate with guests based on body language.”及第三段开头的“A body language expert trained employees on what cues (信号) to look for.”可知,Affinia连锁酒店培训其员工识别客人的肢体语言,以便更好地与其交流。 2.What should a hotel employee do if a guest looks into his or her eye? A.Offer a pillow. B.Make small talk. C.Avoid speaking to the guest. D.Be open to the guest's suggestions. 解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A guest who makes eye contact (接触) while walking down the hall, for example, may be open to conversation.”可知,如果一名客人与酒店服务人员进行眼神接触,说明该客人有交流的意愿。 3.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A.The company. B.The service. C.The phone. D.The hotel. 解析:选B 代词指代题。画线词所在句的意思是:有些公司根据电话铃响几次之后员工才接起电话来设定服务的水准。“it”指代的是服务。 4.What does Patti Wood think of Affinia's training? A.It is completely new. B.It makes employees feel special. C.It will take the place of staff questions. D.It is following some other companies' example. 解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“she has never seen such training given to all hotel employees”可知,Patti Wood认为这种培训是一种全新的尝试。 Ⅱ.语法填空 Although it could not compete with the speed of email today, the 1800's experienced a revolution in communication that played an important role in creating the tradition of the Christmas greeting card.__1__ (help) by the new railway system, the public postal service made corresponding a popular past time.In England, Sir Henry Cole recognized the advantage of __2__ more efficient mail service and initiated (开始) the practice of sending Christmas greeting cards __3__ friends.
