技巧一点通 非正式用语中，当关系代词在从句中充当宾语时，关系代词可以省略，构成秃头定语从句。在阅读中要注意这种省略现象，当一个名词后面紧跟着一套缺宾语的主谓结构时，这套主谓结构就是修饰该名词的定语从句。但是在写作中仍然不建议省略关系代词。 当关系代词在从句中充当主语时，关系代词一定不要省略。

Some people love eating food right after it is cooked.I prefer food just taken out from the freezer.Fruit，candies，nuts，chocolate，cake with buttercream frosting(糖霜)，even peas，all of them taste delicious when frozen.In fact，I often eat them that way.
I was a kid when I picked up the habit.In my family，lots of things were thrown into the freezer—finally，two freezers—to prevent them from going bad.Among them were some of the candies my sisters and I had collected on Halloween.
If we eat when they are still warm，we’ll find ourselves taking the cookies more than we should.It’s better if we can put them into the freezer and wait.That way we’ll eat less and enjoy them more because they are hard and chewing becomes a slower，more patient effort.That’s the point about frozen buttercream frosting.Put it in your mouth at room temperature，and it’s gone very quickly.But when it’s frozen，you can enjoy the taste much longer as it melts(融化) in your mouth.
The freezer treats a lot of fruit kindly.Take frozen grapes for example.I keep a bowl of grapes in my freezer.They become a little icy，and somehow their sweetness is improved.They are perfect and healthy dessert(点心)．This is the same with oranges，apples，bananas...You might think bananas would get super-hard when frozen.Wrong！They become cool，creamy and sweet.If you have wisely covered some or all of the bananas with melted chocolate before putting them into the freezer，they will have a double taste.
As long as you aren’t eating anything that truly has to be hot，go ahead and experiment.
4．What is the passage intended to tell us
A．Fruit should be frozen before one eats it.
B．Frozen food is better than hot food.
C．The author prefers frozen food.
D．Hot food is not healthy.
5．The author began to enjoy frozen food when he .
A．was young B．learned cooking
C．got married D．got a fever
6．Why does the author NOT advise us to take hot cookies
A．Because they need more time to prepare.
B．Because the taste is not good when they are hot.
C．Because they are too delicious to avoid our overeating.
D．Because we may eat them quickly and enjoy them less.
7．What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to
A．The taste.
B．Buttercream.
C．The cookie.
D．Frozen buttercream frosting.

Most people around the world are right-handed.This also seems to be true in history.In 1799，scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B．C. to the 1950s.Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed，so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history.Today，only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.
Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones？Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs.Most people use hands to find things or hold things.The right hand is used to work with things.This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain.The right side of the brain，which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together，controls the left hand.The left side of the brain，which controls the right hand，is the centre for thinking and doing problems.These findings show that more artists should be left-handed，and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.
No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed.Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born.However，this doesn’t happen to everyone，so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed.One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents.
Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness，people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual.
8．After studying works of art made at different times in history，the scientists found that .
A．the art began from 1,500 B．C.
B．the works of art ended in the 1950s
C．most people shown in the works of art are right-handed
D．most people shown in the works of art are left-handed
9．How many people in the world are left-handed now
A．Less than one sixth.
B．More than a half.
C．About 40%.
D．The passage doesn’t tell us.
10．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true
A．No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.
B．Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.
C．Today children are not made to use their right hands only.
D．Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.
11．The best title for this passage is “ ”．
A．Scientists’ New Inventions
B．Left-handed People
C．Which Hand
D．Different Brains，Different Hands

BRAZIL—The newly-elected president of Brazil，Jair Bolsonaro says that his country should withdraw(退出) from the 2015 Paris Agreement，and that Brazil’s rainforest protections are standing in the way of economic success.During the election campaign，he promised to ease(减缓) protections for areas of the Brazilian Amazon set aside for native people and wildlife.Are Brazil’s rainforests in danger
The Amazon，the world’s largest rainforest，is called “the lungs of the planet”．Each tree takes in and stores carbon dioxide from the air around it.Billions of trees pull up water through their roots and release water vapor into the air，forming tiny drops of water.The Amazon creates 30 to 50 percent of its own rainfall.Carlos Nobre，a climate scientist，says that it is almost impossible to say just how important the rainforest is to the planet’s living systems.
Some of Bolsonaro’s support comes from business and farming groups.One supporter，Luiz Carlos，noted that “farmers are not invaders；they are producers”．He blamed(责备) the past government for supporting rainforest protections at the cost of farmers.“Brazil，” he said，“will be the biggest farming nation on Earth during Bolsonaro’s years.”
Paulo Artaxo，a professor of environmental physics at the University of Sao Paulo，says that if Bolsonaro keeps his campaign promises，then “deforestation(毁林) of the Amazon will probably increase quickly—and the effects will be felt everywhere on the planet.”
Other scientists warn that if the Amazon and other tropical rainforests lose too many trees，this could affect rainfall in other areas.Without enough trees to support the rainfall，the longer and bigger dry season could turn more than half of the rainforest into a tropical grassland.
12．According to the passage，rainforests can .
A．produce much farmland
B．examine people’s lungs
C．change the earth’s living system
D．destroy farmers’ crops
13．The first paragraph is intended to .
A．attract the public to the newly-elected president
B．ask people to ease the protection of rainforests
C．draw people’s attention to the disappearing rainforests
D．complain about the new government’s withdrawing
14．What can be inferred from the passage
A．The new president’s supporters care less about farmers.
B．Scientists are concerned about the protection of rainforests.
C．The rainforests will stop the economic development in Brazil.
D．The past government is to blame for the destruction of rainforests.
15．The passage is probably taken from .
A．a newspaper B．a magazine
C．a guidebook D．a textbook必修二 Unit1 Culture Heritage

A new high-speed railway was to be built through the small town.However，an archaeologist 1.protested against it，because it meant an old temple (which) they regarded as the only historic heritage and cultural relic would likely disappear.But the fund was limited.If the government gave way to him，it would lead to a great loss of money.How to keep a 2.balance between construction and protection was a challenging issue.A committee was established to 3.prevent the temple from being damaged.They conducted many investigations in an 4.attempt to solve the problem.The members referred to former documents，and turned to professionals from all over the world for advice.They made many proposals.At last，by comparison，they decided to apply the digital image technology to the preservation.5.Throughout the process，many overseas experts took part in the project.Many locals 6.donated money to the committee.They made great contributions to it.At last，everything including the entrance，the exit，the dragon on the roof and even the mirrors was 7.preserved well.The locals held a parade for it.In their opinion，good traditions were important and we should 8.promote appreciation of heritage.They would not forgive those who damage them forever.
（二）单元语法
练基础——分析画线部分所作成分并翻译句子
1．The postcard he sent me was a picture of a famous cultural relic in Egypt.
定语；他寄给我的明信片是埃及一处著名文化遗迹的图片。
2．Do you know the teacher my deskmate is talking about now
定语；你认识我同桌现在正谈论的那个老师吗？
技巧一点通 非正式用语中，当关系代词在从句中充当宾语时，关系代词可以省略，构成秃头定语从句。在阅读中要注意这种省略现象，当一个名词后面紧跟着一套缺宾语的主谓结构时，这套主谓结构就是修饰该名词的定语从句。但是在写作中仍然不建议省略关系代词。 当关系代词在从句中充当主语时，关系代词一定不要省略。

Some people love eating food right after it is cooked.I prefer food just taken out from the freezer.Fruit，candies，nuts，chocolate，cake with buttercream frosting(糖霜)，even peas，all of them taste delicious when frozen.In fact，I often eat them that way.
I was a kid when I picked up the habit.In my family，lots of things were thrown into the freezer—finally，two freezers—to prevent them from going bad.Among them were some of the candies my sisters and I had collected on Halloween.
If we eat when they are still warm，we’ll find ourselves taking the cookies more than we should.It’s better if we can put them into the freezer and wait.That way we’ll eat less and enjoy them more because they are hard and chewing becomes a slower，more patient effort.That’s the point about frozen buttercream frosting.Put it in your mouth at room temperature，and it’s gone very quickly.But when it’s frozen，you can enjoy the taste much longer as it melts(融化) in your mouth.
The freezer treats a lot of fruit kindly.Take frozen grapes for example.I keep a bowl of grapes in my freezer.They become a little icy，and somehow their sweetness is improved.They are perfect and healthy dessert(点心)．This is the same with oranges，apples，bananas...You might think bananas would get super-hard when frozen.Wrong！They become cool，creamy and sweet.If you have wisely covered some or all of the bananas with melted chocolate before putting them into the freezer，they will have a double taste.
As long as you aren’t eating anything that truly has to be hot，go ahead and experiment.

Most people around the world are right-handed.This also seems to be true in history.In 1799，scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B．C. to the 1950s.Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed，so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history.Today，only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.
Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones？Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs.Most people use hands to find things or hold things.The right hand is used to work with things.This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain.The right side of the brain，which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together，controls the left hand.The left side of the brain，which controls the right hand，is the centre for thinking and doing problems.These findings show that more artists should be left-handed，and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.
No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed.Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born.However，this doesn’t happen to everyone，so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed.One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents.
Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness，people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。你习惯用左手还是用右手？本文就“有的人习惯用右手，有的人习惯用左手”这种现象进行了说明。
8．After studying works of art made at different times in history，the scientists found that .
A．the art began from 1,500 B．C.
B．the works of art ended in the 1950s
C．most people shown in the works of art are right-handed
D．most people shown in the works of art are left-handed
答案 C

BRAZIL—The newly-elected president of Brazil，Jair Bolsonaro says that his country should withdraw(退出) from the 2015 Paris Agreement，and that Brazil’s rainforest protections are standing in the way of economic success.During the election campaign，he promised to ease(减缓) protections for areas of the Brazilian Amazon set aside for native people and wildlife.Are Brazil’s rainforests in danger
The Amazon，the world’s largest rainforest，is called “the lungs of the planet”．Each tree takes in and stores carbon dioxide from the air around it.Billions of trees pull up water through their roots and release water vapor into the air，forming tiny drops of water.The Amazon creates 30 to 50 percent of its own rainfall.Carlos Nobre，a climate scientist，says that it is almost impossible to say just how important the rainforest is to the planet’s living systems.
Some of Bolsonaro’s support comes from business and farming groups.One supporter，Luiz Carlos，noted that “farmers are not invaders；they are producers”．He blamed(责备) the past government for supporting rainforest protections at the cost of farmers.“Brazil，” he said，“will be the biggest farming nation on Earth during Bolsonaro’s years.”
Paulo Artaxo，a professor of environmental physics at the University of Sao Paulo，says that if Bolsonaro keeps his campaign promises，then “deforestation(毁林) of the Amazon will probably increase quickly—and the effects will be felt everywhere on the planet.”
Other scientists warn that if the Amazon and other tropical rainforests lose too many trees，this could affect rainfall in other areas.Without enough trees to support the rainfall，the longer and bigger dry season could turn more than half of the rainforest into a tropical grassland.

解析 推理判断题。由第二段前四句可知，亚马孙是世界上最大的雨林，被称为“地球之肺”。每棵树吸收并储存周围空气中的二氧化碳。数十亿棵树通过根部吸取水分，并将水蒸气释放到空气中，形成微小的水滴。亚马孙带来了30%到50%的降雨量。由此可以判断出，热带雨林能够改变地球的生态系统。故C选项正确。
