Unit 2 English around the world一、閱讀理解AMy daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up situations, and is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she bees a leader who laughs loudly and chants. “Girls rule, boys drool.” But when that fort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she pleted her first kids triathlon（三項全能）.On Saturday, with a thunderstorm ing soon and my sons birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment shed need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasnt because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadnt seen before.All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.Shine on, sweet baby.1.Kelly is nervous when _.A. boys are around herB. she changes into a leaderC. she is away from her momD. situations are new to her2.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that_.A. the race began in the early morningB.

According to a study, a BFF (Best Friend Forever) does not e cheap with devoted pals blowing 4,679 on birthday presents alone over a lifetime. And while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on, bighearted Britons go the extra mile and spend 168 on pickmeups (提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch(艱難時刻) like the breakup of a relationship. Theres a further 242 spent on presents to show how much they mean from gifts bought on holiday to treats for no reason. And distance does not break up a close friendship as BFFs spend a whopping (巨大的) 18,000 on travel to see each other despite being miles apart because of university, jobs and marriage. The study by cashback site TopCashBack found on average BFFs who wed can expect 431 spent on them and a further 283 on gifts when they have children. And they can rely on their pals to help out when they move house as they will obtain 127 worth of housewarming presents and takeaways as well as putting in a shift with the packing and unpacking. The survey based on a friendship lasting 40 years found more than eight in ten adults with a BFF felt their friendships were worth every penny.TopCashBack spokesperson Natasha Smith said, “Those friendships which stand the test of time are often the most important in our lives. However, they e at a cost. From train tickets once a month to flights and a new dress for a wedding on the Italian coast, the price paid for having a best mate can soon add up. But when we asked people to pare their friendship with the monetary investment, only 14% thought their friendship was equal to their investment with the vast majority thinking it was worth more.”【文章大意】最好的朋友也許是無價的，但維持一段友誼卻是高價的。那么你知道維持一段友誼需要多少錢嗎？一項研究給出了答案?！鹃L難句分析】And while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on, bighearted Britons go the extra mile and spend 168 on pickmeups(提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch(艱難時刻) like the breakup of a relationship.(第二段第二句)分析：本句為復合句。while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on為讓步狀語從句。主句為bighearted Britons go the extra mile.relationship。譯文：雖然在朋友哭泣時成為朋友的依靠不需要花費什么，但是慷慨大方的英國人會為朋友付出更多，他們會花168英鎊來為朋友買能令人振作的物品，助其度過諸如關系破裂等困難時期。1 What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?AAmbitious. BGenerous.CTroublesome. DEnergetic.答案與解析：B考查詞義猜測。畫線部分后的“go the extra mile and spend 168 on pickmeups(提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch (艱難時刻) like the breakup of a relationship”就是對它的進一步說明。此處指雖然在朋友哭泣時成為朋友的依靠并不需要花費什么，但是英國人會為朋發(fā)付出更多，他們會花168英鎊來為朋友買令人振作的物品，助其度過諸如失戀等困難時期。畫線部分的意思應該是“慷慨的”，故選B。2. To keep the relationship, where do BFFs spend most money?ABuying birthday presents.BCheering up a friend in low spirits.CPaying for holiday gifts and other treats.DGoing a particular distance to visit friends.答案與解析：D考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“blowing 4,679 on birthday presents”“spend 168 on pickmeups(提神物品)”以及第三段中的“242 spent on presents.from gifts bought on holiday to treats.”“spend a whopping (巨大的)18,000 on travel to see each other”可知，為了維持一段友誼，花在旅途中的費用是最多的，所以選D。3. What is Natashas understanding of BFF friendship?AIts costly and unaffordable.BIts expensive but worthwhile.CIts rewarding but hard to keep.DIts changeable but worth possessing.答案與解析：B考查觀點態(tài)度。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Those friendships which stand the test of time are often the most important in our lives. However, they e at a cost.”可知，Natasha認為，經(jīng)受得起時間考驗的友誼通常是我們人生中最重要的東西，但那是要付出成本的。也就是說與一生的摯友的友誼很貴但很值得。所以選B。4. How is the passage developed?ABy listing figures. BBy giving examples.CBy analyzing causes.DBy making parisons.答案與解析：A考查寫作手法。 根據(jù)文中的“23,870”“4,679”“168”“242”“18,000”等數(shù)據(jù)可知，本文作者是通過列數(shù)據(jù)的方法來行文的，故選A。二、七選五(2018福建泉州質量檢測)Reasons to Take Part in Student Clubs and OrganizationsMany college students dont know what theyre missing by not taking part in the student clubs and organizations that are offered at most colleges and universities.

Zoos are more than just a place of entertainment and education for people, but also a place _3_ animals are kept in safe enclosures. Zoos allow us to enjoy _4_ (view) animals _5_ we would have to make a trip to Africa to view them.My first trip to the zoo _6_ (be) years ago during an elementary school trip. That was the first time I had found myself close to wild animals like tigers, lions, giraffes and zebras. The last time I visited the zoo was about a year back when I took my kids there. Children especially are _7_ (interest) in such animals on display and in terms of _8_ (education) value. I would say that the trip was worth every minute _9_ (spend). However, there are some of us who feel that animals shouldnt be kept in enclosures, but should rather be let out in the wild. Some feel that keeping animals in enclosures is a form of cruelty.
