2019年高考英語(yǔ)大一輪復(fù)習(xí) Unit 2 English around the world課時(shí)作業(yè) 新人教版必修1 Ⅰ. 閱讀理解 A English as a Foreign Language Who taught you to speak English? Your parents, while you were a young child? Your teachers at school? Perhaps even the BBC as a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidly being a truly global language. There are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language, and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue. There are said to be one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English. Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can municate, using a mon language, across countries and cultures? Or should we worry about the dangers of“mono-culturalism”, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music? Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? On the contrary, I would have thought-although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India(where many of them speak at least some English)and Pakistan(the same situation with India). . . If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonald’s burgers? Surely not. If English bees more dominant(占主導(dǎo)地位的), will it kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well. When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it’s like a rose, ”he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of rose? ” Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that’s fine by me. 【文章大意】作者以獨(dú)特的視角分析了英語(yǔ)的發(fā)展前景和人們的種種顧慮。越來(lái)越多的人會(huì)講英語(yǔ)是好事嗎? 戰(zhàn)亂會(huì)因此而減少嗎? 將來(lái)人們會(huì)只講一種語(yǔ)言, 吃同樣的食物, 聽同樣的音樂嗎? 作者借用一位愛爾蘭聽眾的郵件說(shuō): 英語(yǔ)好比玫瑰花, 它很漂亮, 但是我們不能因?yàn)樗辆桶鸦▓@全種上玫瑰花, 也不能把其他花草都拔掉。 1.

In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far behind. Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education. In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German panies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment. But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable(易受影響的)kids with no jobs and no skills. Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teach them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school. However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting. In the US, unemployment rates for 16-to-19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row. “The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they will bee part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job, ”said Michael, a researcher in the US. 【文章大意】文章通過(guò)與德國(guó)中學(xué)情況的比較, 說(shuō)明在美國(guó)中學(xué)里很缺乏有關(guān)職業(yè)生涯的基本課程。 5.

The first city was probably founded no more than 5, 500 years ago. 　1　. In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural(鄉(xiāng)村的)villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history—a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living. Britain was only the beginning. 　2　. The process of urbanization—the migration(遷移)of people from the countryside to the city—was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live. In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. 　3　. Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. 　4　. Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英)and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city. Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 　5　. Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers. A. That kept cities very small. B. The rest live in small towns. C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered. D. Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies. E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities. F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive. G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings. 答案: 1～5. EDBAF 【語(yǔ)篇隨練】多練一點(diǎn)　技高一籌 根據(jù)閱讀理解A篇回答問題。 1.
