貴陽市2014高考英語（新人教版）一輪閱讀訓(xùn)練（36）附答案課時(shí)作業(yè)(三十六)選修8Unit 1 A land of diversity(限時(shí)：35分鐘)閱讀理解There are many ways of defining success.It is accurate to say that each of us has our own ideas of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily.Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities，it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.For some people，simply being able to live their life with the least misery and suffering is considered a success.Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep，enjoys his simple life with his family in the beauty of nature，and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of him and accepted by his family and his society. On the other hand，it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions，many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own standards of success.Because not all ventures can be successful，one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success，but if one has self­confidence it would be unfortunate to set one's goals at a too low level of achievement.A wise man once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration(失敗) with his own professional success，“You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling.Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park or riding the subway downtown.”The man added，“You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like，and to which you have given your best effort.”36According to the first paragraph，what is implied as basics in achieving success?AAbility and goals.BGoals and determination.CAbility and environments.DGoals and environments.37Some rich people consider themselves unsuccessful because _Atheir life is busy and miserableBthey haven't reached their own standardsCthey set their goals at a very low levelDthey are not rich in material possessions38From the last paragraph we can tell that _Asuccess means achieving great goalsBsuccess comes from setting great goalsCsuccess means efforts and favorites pay offDsuccess has nothing to do with the distance of your travel.短文填詞I still remember the winter vacation last year, when I paid a 39.v_ to a mountain village in a suburb of Handan.

When floods hit our area, it can float on the surface of the water. And all the doors will be closed at once. The furniture in the house is also made of special materials, which can't be broken, either. Our house can keep us warm in winter and cool in summer. We use solar energy instead of traditional fuels, so our house is environmentally friendly. Made of paper, it is so light that it can move to anywhere you like, what's more, it has wheels and wings. Such is my dream house. 閱讀理解Walt Whitman was born in 1819 in New York City.During his long life，he watched America grow from a young nation to the strongest industrial power in the world.Whitman was influenced by events around him.But his poetry spoke of the inner self.He celebrated great people like President Abraham Lincoln.He also celebrated common people.As a young man，Whitman worked as a school teacher，a printer and a newspaper reporter.He was thirty­six years old when his first book of poetry was published.He called it Leaves of Grass.It has only twelve poems.The poems are written in free verse.The lines do not follow any set form.Some lines are short and some are long.The words at the end of each line do not have a similar sound.They do not rhyme.One of Americas greatest thinkers and writers immediately recognized the importance of Leaves of Grass.Ralph Waldo Emerson praised Whitmans work.But most other poets and writers said nothing or denounced it.The American Civil War began in 1861.During the war，Whitman worked without pay at army hospitals.He helped care for the wounded and dying soldiers.He sat beside these men for hours.He brought them food and wrote letters for them.After the Civil War，Whitman worked for government agencies.He watched the United States try to heal itself and increase democracy.To Walt Whitman，democracy was more than a political system or idea.It was a natural form of government for free people.Whitman believed democracy was meant to honor the rights of every person and the equality of all people.In 1873，Walt Whitman suffered a stroke.He spent the last few years of his life in Camden，New Jersey and wrote more poems.Whitman was poor and weak during the last few years of his life.He died in 1892.36Walt Whitman expressed his feelings by_.Asinging songsBcelebrating great peopleCwriting poemsDpraising common people37Leaves of Grass was published in_.A1855B1819C1861D187338The underlined sentence “But most other poets and writers said nothing or denounced it.”(in Paragraph 3) is most likely to tell us that_.Amany great writers liked Whitmans poems very muchBa lot of people agreed with EmersonCmany poets and writers thought ill of Whitmans poemsDfew poets and writers didnt like talking to Whitman39It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that Whitman was_.Aa brave soldierBa man of devotionCan honest officialDa great politician40Which of the following is the right order of Whitmans life?aHis first collection of poetry was published.bHe taught in a school as a teacher when he was young.cHe helped the wounded soldiers in the war.dHe passed away in Camden，New Jersey.eHe was born in New York City in 1819.Ae，c，b，a，dBe，b，c，a，dCe，b，c，d，aDe，b，a，c，d36.C 37.A 38.C 39.B 40.D
