You freeze in horror and burn with shame.‎ ‎[3]What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to recover.‎ Clicking “send” too soon Don't waste your time trying to find out if the receiver has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief title explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.‎ Writing the wrong name The sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologising for your mistake. Keep the tone measured:don't handle it too lightly, as people can be offended, especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture (i.e.incorrect ordering of Chinese names).‎ Clicking “reply all” unintentionally You accidentally reveal (透露) to the entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday ‎ you'd like to take. In this instance, the best solution is to send a quick, lighthearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.‎ Sending an offensive message to its subject The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger.

The following vacations could be best choices.‎ Cruise down the Amazon River Aqua Expeditions takes up to 32 passengers at a time on guided journeys of three, four, or seven days down the Amazon River. Those adventurers see forests and waterfalls, visit local fish markets, and take canoe trips. They also take in wildlife such as capuchin monkeys and river dolphins.‎ Go Glamping in Montana The Resort at Paws Up located on a cattle ranch (牧场) is a standout in the type. The ranch rents homes with up to four bedrooms, but it's the luxury tents that offer closer communion with the outdoors. Tents are arranged into camps, each of which has a private chef and butler, the latter of whom helps build campfires and arrange daytime activities. Guests can participate in a cattle drive, go clay shooting, take a hot air balloon trip, or ride horses.‎ Climb inside a Volcano in Iceland Iceland is famous for its volcanoes and has plenty of luxury hotel options. Thrillseekers can actually go down into the dormant (休眠的), 700footdeep Thrihnukagigur, by using an open elevator. Take a helicopter if you want to skip the 2mile hike to the volcano, and arrange a private tour to avoid crowds. And visitors traveling there can enjoy the luxury hotel such as the ION Luxury Adventure Hotel and the Hotel Rangá.‎ ‎1.What can adventurers do when traveling down the Amazon River?‎ A.Enjoy individuallyguided tours.‎ B.Travel with hot air balloons.‎ C.Get a chance to see wildlife.‎ D.Ride horses along the trail.‎ 解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They also take in wildlife such as capuchin monkeys and river dolphins”可知,沿着亚马逊河旅游的人可以有机会观看野生动物,故选C。‎ ‎2.At which place can guests enjoy food quite to their taste?‎ A.Aqua Expeditions.  B.The Resort at Paws Up.‎ C.Thrihnukagigur. D.The Hotel Rangá.‎ 解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“each of which has a private chef”可知,在The Resort at Paws Up,每个营地都配有私人厨师,由此可知,游客在这里可吃到非常符合自己口味的食物,故选B。‎ ‎3.What do the three vacations have in common?‎ A.They are adventurous.‎ B.They are animalcentered.‎ C.They have luxury hotel options.‎ D.They are intended for new travelers.‎ 解析:选A 推理判断题。第一个项目提到“adventurers”,第二个项目提到“take a hot air balloon trip, or ride horses”,第三个项目提到寻求刺激的人可以下到700英尺深的休眠火山中。故这三个项目的共同点就是:adventurous(惊险的,刺激的)。‎ B Illegally traded endangered species that escape, forming secondary populations, offer hope to their longterm survival, a study suggests. “This first came to my attention when I read a news story about the seizure of an illegalshipment of 23 yellowcrested cockatoos,” said Luke Gibson, a college teacher. He learned that the species was critically endangered, which surprised him.‎ This encouraged Dr. Gibson and his colleague to investigate (调查) how a critically endangered species had become selfsustaining outside of its natural range. They discovered 49 cases of a globally threatened species becoming established as a separate population, including the yellowcrested cockatoo in their city.‎ ‎“This is a species which is primarily threatened by wildlife trade,” he told BBC News. “Poachers (偷猎者) go out into the forest in its native range in eastern Indonesia and capture the birds and then ship them off, usually up to our city where there is a strong demand for pet birds. This is what has fueled the decline of this species in its native range. But it's really interesting because that same cause also had another effect: some of the people who were keeping this species here accidentally or intentionally released them.” As a result of enough of the birds being set free, it allowed a new selfsustaining population to be established in this city.‎ The government of Dr. Gibson's city has made it illegal to capture the species, even though it is a nonnative species. Because the city is affluent and relatively well educated, the cases of people breaking the law are extremely rare, explained Dr. Gibson. Unlike in its native range in Indonesia where capturing birds forms a major source of income.‎ However, there can be downsides (缺点) to the newly established population of endangered species, such as a limited genetic pool, and ‎ suffering from novel diseases. It did also present a possible “very interesting” opportunity for conservationists, Dr. Gibson suggested. This would involve “harvesting” some of the newly established secondary population, which may provide a way to help slow global biodiversity loss.‎ 语篇解读:本文为新闻报道,涉及野生动物保护话题。濒临灭绝的小葵花凤头鹦鹉遭非法交易,但幸运地被饲养这一物种的一些人释放,因此得以生存繁衍,形成次生种群,这也为自然环境保护主义者提供了一种缓解生物多样性丧失的途径。‎ ‎4.What was beyond Gibson's expectations according to the first paragraph?‎ A.The high rate of wildlife trade.‎ B.The preciousness of the birds.‎ C.The fact that the birds nearly disappear.‎ D.The news that the birds were poached.‎ 解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He learned that the species was critically endangered, which surprised him”可知,Gibson博士因获知小葵花凤头鹦鹉是严重濒危物种而感到惊讶。‎ ‎5.What happened unexpectedly when the birds were shipped abroad?‎ A.They formed a separate population.‎ B.They were kept as pet birds.‎ C.They were traded illegally.‎ D.They were killed for research.‎ 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But it's really interesting because that same cause also had another effect: some of the ‎ people who were keeping this species here accidentally or intentionally released them ... a new selfsustaining ...”可知,这些海运过来的鹦鹉被一些养鸟人释放了,最终使得它们形成一个新的自给自足的独立的群体,故选A。‎ ‎6.Which can replace the underlined word “affluent”in Para. 4?‎ A.Peaceloving.     B.Rich.‎ C.Free. D.Environmentfriendly.‎ 解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“and relatively well educated, the cases of people breaking the law are extremely rare”及“Unlike in its native range in Indonesia where capturing birds forms a major source of income”可知,画线词意为“富裕的”。故选B。‎ ‎7.For what purpose did the author write the passage?‎ A.To appeal to everyone to stop the wildlife trade.‎ B.To explain the challenge the wild birds are facing.‎ C.To introduce a creative approach to wildlife conservation.‎ D.To raise people's awareness of protecting endangered species.‎ 解析:选C 写作意图题。根据文章内容尤其是第一段的“Illegally traded endangered species that escape, forming secondary populations, offer hope to their longterm survival, a study suggests”及最后一段的“It did also present a possible ‘very interesting’ opportunity for conservationists ... which may provide a way to help slow global biodiversity loss”可知,濒临灭绝的小葵花凤头鹦鹉由于社会环境的干预,形成了次生种群,而这可能会为保护野生动物提供一种创造性的方法。‎ 单元检测B——阅读理解提速练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A When I was in the fifth grade and Mr. Gardner asked a question, my hand would shoot up with great enthusiasm. After giving me a few chances, he would try to give other students a chance. My hand, though, would remain in the air, and after some time, I'd start waving it around. Then, there was the time when I entered drumming classes. But all we were allowed to do in the first class was practise one beat over and over again. I never went back.‎ I would have done terribly in the Stanford Marshmallow (果浆软糖) Experiment. In this classic study, researchers gave children a choice between one marshmallow right away and two later. The results showed that those who could wait 15 minutes ended up scoring 210 points higher on the SAT, an examination that American high school students take before they go to college.‎ So clearly, delaying gratification or bearing up under pain has its benefits. It needs patience. Patience keeps us from being stuck to ideas formed previously, and helps us let go of our strong interest in outcomes. We come to accept that we don't always or immediately know what is best, and learn to recognize that our reality is in constant changes. Patience improves our understanding of deeper truths and helps us expand our views.‎ The journey of patience is rooted in knowing that our present reality will finally give way to changes. But changes won't always happen when we think they should, and patience with ourselves comes from accepting that there are things we can control and things we can't. And though we must make great efforts to keep pushing the boundaries of our awareness and to improve our ability to rest comfortably in the present moment, how fast we develop isn't up to us.‎ That same fifth grader who couldn't wait to speak out answers now sees the importance of meeting questions with a heart of patience.‎ ‎1.Why did the author wave his hand in class?‎ A.To entertain himself.‎ B.To show his impatience.‎ C.To give other students a chance.‎ D.To let others know he was clever.‎ 解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第一段可知,作者不停地挥舞手臂是因为举了一段时间手后,老师还不让他回答问题,他这样做是因为不耐烦了。‎ ‎2.What's the purpose of the Stanford Marshmallow Experiment?‎ A.To test children's concentration levels.‎ B.To test how children like marshmallows.‎ C.To test patience and its potential advantages.‎ D.To test the bond between patience and desire.‎ 解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The results showed that those who could wait 15 minutes ended up scoring 210 points higher on the SAT, an examination that American high school students take before they go to college”可知,这个果浆软糖实验的目的是为了测试耐心在孩子们的后期智力发展中可能存在的优势。‎ ‎3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “gratification” in Paragraph 3?‎ A.Progress.        B.Patience.‎ C.Judgement. D.Satisfaction.‎ 解析:‎ 选D 词义猜测题。根据该词前的delaying可知,该词的意思与第二段中的“In this classic study, researchers gave children a choice between one marshmallow right away and two later”有关,根据该句可知,延迟的是满足感,故gratification的意思与satisfaction相近。‎ ‎4.What is the main reason for people to have patience according to the text?‎ A.Present reality.‎ B.Constant changes.‎ C.A lack of selfcontrol.‎ D.A strong interest in outcomes.‎ 解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“learn to recognize that our reality is in constant changes”和倒数第二段中的“The journey of patience is rooted in knowing that our present reality will finally give way to changes”可知,不断变化是我们需要有耐心的原因。‎ B If your parents were to surprise you with a present on your birthday, which one would you prefer, a trip to the amusement park or a new pair of shoes?‎ According to Science Daily, about onethird of the people are likely to prefer shoes to a fun trip. These people are called“materialists”, namely, those who value material goods more than experiences. But which of the two choices makes people happier?‎ Back in 2009, Ryan Howell, a professor at San Francisco State University, found that in the long run, experiences make people happier than possessions. This is because the joy of receiving a new object fades over time as you get used to seeing it every day. Experiences, on the other hand, can continue to bring you joy in the future through happy memories.‎ But materialists should at least be happy when they first buy something, shouldn't they?‎ To figure it out, Howell did another study. He classified a group of adults according to their personality types, ranging from less materialistic to more materialistic. Each person was asked different questions to see how they felt about spending money on material goods versus spending money on experiences.‎ As expected, the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases than the less materialistic, because such purchases didn't fit with their personalities and values. But to Howell's surprise, he found that materialists weren't any happier even if they spent money on material items.‎ This is because materialists worry that others may criticize or look down on their choices. “There are certain value systems that are rejected by society,” said Howell. “When we find out someone is materialistic, we think less of them, and that drives their happiness down.”‎ Another reason is that materialistic people always focus on what they don't have instead of what they have now. This makes them feel less satisfied and grateful.‎ If you happen to be a materialistic person, there's something you can try. “If materialists make more accurate purchases, rather than trying to impress others, they will be happier,” Howell said.‎ You should also remember what an ancient Greek philosopher once said, “Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”‎ 语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文,作者通过引用Ryan Howell的研究结果证实经历比有形物质更能给人带来快乐。‎ ‎5.What did Ryan Howell find in his studies?‎ A.Material goods bring people less happiness than experiences.‎ B.About onethird of the people prefer material goods to experiences.‎ C.Materialists have more fun spending money on goods than on experiences.‎ D.Receiving a new object brings lasting joy while the joy of an experience fades soon.‎ 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“...found that in the long run, experiences make people happier than possessions”可知,经历比物品更能使人感到高兴。根据第六段中的“the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases than the less materialistic”可知,比较倾向物质主义的参与者比不太倾向物质主义的参与者从购物中得到的快乐更少。由此可见,Ryan Howell在他的研究中发现:有形物质比经历给人带来的快乐更少。因此,该题选A。‎ ‎6.What did Ryan Howell want to find out by doing another study?‎ A.How to judge whether a person is a materialist.‎ B.Why materialists are not happy with their purchases.‎ C.How materialists feel when they spend money on goods.‎ D.Whether materialists are happy when they first make purchases.‎ 解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第四段及第五段第一句“To figure it out, Howell did another study”可知该题选D。‎ ‎7.Why does the author use the ancient Greek philosopher's words in the last paragraph?‎ A.To advise materialistic people not to try to impress others.‎ B.To persuade people to be satisfied with what they have.‎ C.To prove it's unwise to be materialistic and desire too much.‎ D.To tell readers what they desire now might one day become theirs.‎ 解析:选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中那位哲学家的话“不要因期望你没有的东西而毁掉了你现在拥有的东西。记住:你现在拥有的东西就在你曾经渴望得到的东西之中”,再结合上文Ryan Howell研究得出的结论可知,作者引用这位哲学家的话旨在说服人们要对目前拥有的事物感到知足。因此,该题选B。‎ ‎8.What can be the best title for the passage?‎ A.Are You a Materialist?‎ B.How to Acquire Happiness?‎ C.The Best Present for the Birthday D.Which Can Make People Happier?‎ 解析:选D 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,作者通过引用Ryan Howell的研究结果证实经历比有形物质更能给人带来快乐,故D项作文章标题最佳。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Ideas to Make Your School a Green Campus Universities are doing everything they can to become a green campus. But there are also items students can do to make your campus more ecofriendly.‎ Recycle everything, especially paper!‎ There is a large amount of paper a college student goes through per semester. __1__ We know that these things can't be avoided, but the way you handle the use of all the paper can really help create a better green campus.‎ Walk and bike to school.‎ Most campuses, especially those that are trying to become a more ecofriendly campus, have pretty good public transit. __2__Walking or biking will help make your campus a green university.‎ Buy green.‎ ‎__3__ Paper, cleaning products and water are products that can be purchased as a recycled goods.
