二、拓展提升
I.阅读理解
A
When I was 16 years old，I made my first visit to the United States.It wasn’t the first time I had been
abroad.Like most English children，I learned French at school and I had often been to France，so I was
used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English.But when I went to America I
was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.
How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport.I was looking for a public telephone to
give my friend Danny a ring and tell her that I had arrived.A friendly old man saw me looking like being
lost and asked if he could help me.
“Yes，” I said.“I want to give my friend a ring.”
“Well，that’s nice，” he said.“Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit young？”
“Who is talking about marriage？” I replied.“I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve
arrived.Can you tell me where there’s a phone box？”
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂“Oh！” he said.“There’s a phone downstairs.”
When at last we did meet up，Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.
“Don’t worry，” she said to me.“I had many difficulties at first.There are lots of words which the
Americans use differently in meaning from us British.You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they
say.But most of the time British and American people can understand each other！”
1.Where was the writer from?
A.He was from America.
B.He was from France.
C.He was from England.
D.He was from China.
2.The writer thought in America.
A.he wouldn’t have any language difficulties
B.he would not understand the Americans
C.the Americans might not understand him
D.he would have difficulties at the airport
3.The writer wanted .
A.to buy a ring for his friend
B.to make a call to his friend
C.to go to the telephone company
D.his friend to see him off
4.From the passage we can see that “give somebody a ring” .
A.means the same in America as in England
B.means “call somebody” to the old man
C.means “be going to get married”
D.has different meanings in America and in England
【语篇解读】作者在本文中讲述了自己第一次到美国时因为英式英语和美式英语的不同而导致的语
言误解。
1.答案C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第三句中的“Like most English children，I learned
French at school and I had often been to France...”可知，作者来自英国。
2.答案A 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“But when I went to America I was really
looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.”可知，作者原以为在美国
不会遇到语言麻烦。故选A。
3.答案B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“I was looking for a public telephone to give
my friend Danny a ring and tell her that I had arrived.”及后文中的“Can you tell me where there’s a
phone box？”可知，作者是想给朋友打电话。
4.答案D 解析：推理判断题。根据文中那位美国老人和作者的对话可知，本题答案为D。

We spend around one third of our lives in bed，and the body does a lot of its repair work as we
sleep，so enough good quality sleep is very important to our health.It doesn’t stop there，though—some
sleep positions are healthier than others.So which sleep position is the healthiest?
Sleeping on your back is the healthiest sleep position.Health benefits include avoiding back and neck
pain.Because the head is raised above the stomach when you sleep on your back，this position is best for
people who suffer from nighttime acid reflux(胃酸逆流) as well.Around 80% of heartburn(胃灼热)
sufferers have problems during the night，so sleeping on their back could help a lot of people to enjoy a
good night’s sleep.If the sleep position alone is not enough to alleviate the condition，try raising the head
of the bed by up to 4 inches by placing blocks under it.
When you sleep on your back，your face is in a natural position.This means less wrinkles(皱纹).
If you really can’t face sleeping on your back，another healthy sleep position is the side sleep.It’s
almost as good as the back position ， and it’s better for people who snore( 打 鼾 ) and their
partners.Whichever sleep position you choose，use a pillow that supports the head and the neck without
raising the head unnaturally，as this can bring neck pain.
5.Which is NOT one of the benefits of sleeping on the back?
A.It can avoid acid reflux.
B.It makes people look younger.
C.It helps people get rid of stomach pain.
D.It’s good for heartburn sufferers.
6.The underlined word “alleviate” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.
A.make people enjoy
B.make people forget
C.make it less useful
D.make it less serious
7.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.Ways to keep us healthy.
B.The importance of sleep.
C.Healthy positions of sleep.

【语篇解读】本文介绍了两种对健康有益的睡眠姿势。
5.答案C 解析：细节理解题。从第二段内容可知，仰卧对胃灼热患者有益，但没说可以消除
胃痛。
6.答案D 解析：词义猜测题。从前半句“If the sleep position alone is not enough ...”及后面的
“...try raising the head of the bed by up to 4 inches...”可推知，如果只这样做还不够(不能缓解不适症
状)，则可以试着把床头加高四英寸。故选D项。
7.答案C 解析：主旨大意题。从第一段中的“...some sleep positions are healthier than others.So
which sleep position is the healthiest？”及全文的描述可知选C项。
Ⅱ.七选五
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everyone knows it's necessary to say “thank you” after receiving a gift or others' help，but many
people don't know how to thank people in a proper way.It's best to send a brief，personal note.__16__
Make it personal.Use simple note cards rather than write your name on an amusing card purchased at
the gift shop.__17__ The receiver will appreciate your taking the time to express thanks.
Get to the point right away.Thankyou cards should be short and sweet.Look at the following
example，“Thank you ever so much for the charming vase.I'm sure it will bring my house to life.”
__18__
For some receivers，add some news about your life.__19__ But if you receive a gift in the mail from
people who see you infrequently and who would like to know more about what's going on in your life，
write briefly about what you've been up to recently.
__20__ Write and send it within one week after receiving the gift.Waiting too long to send a note tells
the gift giver you really don't appreciate his/her generosity.
A．Write the note as soon as possible.
B．This isn't always suitable obviously.
C．Here are some tips on writing a thankyou note.
D．Never type a “thank you”－write it by yourself.
E．Sending a thankyou note through the mail shows effort.
F．Thankyou notes aren't difficult to write，and they don't take much time.
G．As you can read，the writer thanked the gift giver immediately and frankly.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
One Sunday morning，George Thomas，a baker in a small New England town，was walking
through the town when he saw a little boy coming toward him，swinging(挥舞) a bird cage in the air.On
the bottom of the cage，there were three little wild birds shaking with cold and fear.George Thomas
stopped the boy and asked him what he got there.
The boy was happy and told him that there were just some old birds in the cage.When the baker asked
him what he would do with the old birds.The boy said casually(漫不经心地) that he wanted to take the
birds home and play with them.He would pull out their feathers to make them fight.He would have a really
good time because he would enjoy watching these.
George Thomas was shocked by what the boy said.How could a boy be so rude to wild animals？So
he continued to ask the boy what he would do to the birds when he got tired of them，because he was such
a naughty and cruel boy that he was sure to be tired of them sooner or later.The boy laughed and said that
he had a cat，which liked birds，so he would give the birds to his cat.The baker got more worried and
decided to help set free the poor birds.So he asked，“How much do you want for the birds，son? ”
The boy looked at him in surprise，wondering if the baker really wanted to buy them.He laughed and
reminded the man that they were just plain old field birds.They didn’t sing and they were not even
pretty.However，the baker insisted and continued to ask him how much money he wanted for the birds.
The boy stared at the baker as if he were crazy and said，“10？”

away and shook his head.
The baker picked up the cage.And he gently carried it to the end of the alley where there was a tree
and a grassy spot.Setting the cage down，he opened the door，and by softly tapping the bars he
persuaded the birds out，setting them free.The baker watched the birds flying in the sky freely，
smiling.He took the empty bird cage home.
