Unit 23 Conflict
能力提升题组训练(A)
Ⅰ.阅读理解(2018洛阳模拟)
Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do.They talk about topics such as ages,income or marital status,which Americans think are annoying and disturbing.
Family
In China,elders are traditionally treated with great respect while the young are cared for.In America,the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children.Unlike the Chinese,older Americans seldom live with their children.
Friends
Chinese people have different meanings to define friends.Just hanging out together from time to time is not friendship.Friendship means lifelong friends who feel it deeply necessary to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call people they meet friends,so the definition of friends is general and different.There are work friends,playing friends,school friends and drinking friends.
Money
As is well known,the Chinese like to save.They are always conservative when they are planning to spend money.It is different in the US,where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts(对 应面).
Education
Chinese people value education and career more than Americans,who in turn put more emphasis on good characters and faith.
Team VS Individual
Basically China values the community and the US values the individual.If you achieve something in the US,it’s because you are great.While in China,if you achieve something it’s because the team,or family,or company is great.Everything you do gets attributed to the greater whole,while in America individual merits (功绩) are celebrated.
1.Which is the most appropriate word to show the first cultural difference?
A.Privacy. B.Income. C.Age. D.Marriage.
2.Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A.American parents seldom live with their children.
B.There is no friendship between American people drinking together.
C.Chinese people are usually generous with money to spend.
D.Americans value good characters and faith in terms of education.
3.Which one is similar to the underlined phrase?
A.is attached to B.brings in C.is promoted to D.results in
语篇解读:本文介绍了几个中国人和美国人之间的文化差异。
答案及剖析:
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do.可知,中国人没有像美国人一样的隐私概念。故选A。
2.D 细节理解题。根据Education部分可知,中国人比美国人更重视教育和事业,而美国人更加重视良好的品格和忠贞的信念。故选D。
3.A 词义猜测题。本段Team VS Individual的意思是:基本上中国人重视团队而美国人重视个人。如果你在美国有所作为,那么别人会觉得是因为你很优秀。而在中国,如果你取得了优异的成绩,这是因为团队,家庭或公司很优秀。故画线词组的意思是:被归因于……A项意为“附属于”,与画线词组意思相近,故选A。
Ⅱ.七选五(2018河南南阳高三联考)
Things to Know Before Adopting a Dog
The idea of giving someone a puppy for Christmas provides a warm fuzzy response for most people.1. Pets carry a lot of responsibility,but they reward their owners with years of love and devotion.?
Be Realistic About How Much Time You Have
In a busy world,full of work,soccer games,and family dinners,time is more precious.When adopting an animal it is important to consider how much time you have to devote to training and caring for it.2. If you have plenty of extra time to devote to a pet,a puppy is a good choice.?
Think About How Much Space You Have
Large dogs naturally require more room than small dogs.They need big yards to run in,or a nearby area where they can go for longer walks.If you live in a small apartment on an upper floor,this can be a problem.3. Smaller dogs take up less space and are often easier to transport up and down stairs and in elevators.If you have a large home with a big backyard where your dog can run and play,then a larger breed may be a good fit for you.?
4. ?
If you have small children,a patient dog with a high tolerance level is necessary. Kids explore with their hands,and they are likely to touch,tug,pet,and crawl all over the new dog.In this situation,you need to choose a dog with an easygoing temperament-who will not become frustrated and bite.5. ?
A.Consider the Other Pets in Your Home
B.Choose the Right Dog for Your Situation
C.However,adopting a dog is not something to be taken lightly.
D.A puppy requires a lot more time and attention than an older dog.
E.Walking around a small space with a Labrador underfoot can be frustrating.
F.Adopting a dog rather than buying one benefits both the animal and your family.
G.Breeds like Golden Retrievers,Labradors,and Border Collies are well known for their family friendly attitude.
答案:1—5 CDEBG

The season’s first snowflakes fell the very next day.The birds must have 18 that winter was coming,and it was time to go.I became fond of them during their 19 visit to our pond,and now I miss them.I’ll never forget their 20 to each other.?

语篇解读:本文是自然与动物类记叙文。作者在自家的池塘里发现了两只雁,它们在这里待了很久,作者偶然发现,雄雁的翅膀受伤了,雌雁一直不离不弃。最后,雄雁的翅膀痊愈后,它们一起飞走了。作者感觉临走之前它们还跟自己道别,之后作者很想念它们。
答案及剖析:
1.B 根据空后的“because I’d never seen geese there before”可知,作者之前从来没在自家的池塘里发现过雁,所以他很吃惊(surprise)。accident“事故”;nature“本质,大自然”;fortune“运气,好运”。
2.D 根据上文中的“Thinking they would soon leave”可知,作者认为它们不久就会离开,所以非常珍视(valued)接近它们的机会。increase“增加”;create“创造”;deserve “值得”。
3.A 第二天早上,这两只雁仍然在作者家的池塘里,没有离开。根据下文作者对待这对雁的行为可推知,作者把它们当作自己的“客人”(guests),且最后一段中的visit也是提示。puzzle“谜,难题”;fellow“家伙”。
4.C 上文说作者走到邮箱那里,向雁证明他无意伤害它们,接下来,作者仍然(Still)抵挡不住走近看它们(的想法)。instead“代替……,而不是……”;therefore“因此”;anyhow“无论如何,不管怎样”。
5.A 参见上题解析。closer“更近的”符合语境。
6.C 作者藏在几棵树的后面, 透过树枝静静地观察(observed)这对漂亮的雁。approach“接近”;calm“使镇定,使平静”;protect“保护”。
7.D 随着时间的流逝,作者开始在去邮箱的途中跟它们说话(talking)。turn“转”;attend“接待”;drive“驾驶”。
8.B 它们伸长脖子, 谨慎地(cautiously)抬起头来。firmly“坚定地,牢固地”;warmly“温暖地”;proudly“自豪地”。
9.A 那时候,作者对于它们为什么(why)在池塘里待这么久由好奇变成了担心。
10.D 参见上题解析。concern“担心”符合语境。sympathy“同情”;rescue“营救”;pleasure“愉快”。
11.B 作者发现了它们拜访(visit)这里的原因:雄雁的左翅膀受伤了。visit“参观,拜访”符合语境。companion“同伴,旅伴”;settlement“定居,解决”;care“关心,照顾”。
12.C 雄雁不会飞(fly)了,它忠实的配偶不愿意抛弃它。recover“恢复”;survive“幸存”;return“返回”。
13.C 生物学家解释说,有时候折断的翅膀会自愈。broken“折断的”符合语境。
14.B 当作者弯腰去扣牢拖拉机上的一根链子的时候,作者从眼角的余光里瞥见(caught)了一些变化。
15.D 这两只雁拼命地拍打(beating)着翅膀,挣扎着要飞起来。spread“传播”;sweep“扫过,冲过”;tremble“颤抖”。
16.A 它们到达(gained)了足够的高度,飞过了一个邻居的房子。set“放置”;discover“发现”;lose“丢失”。
17.B 然后,它们离开了作者的视线。out of sight“看不见,在视野之外”,为固定用法。
18.C 就在第二天,下了第一场雪。这两只雁肯定是意识到(sensed)冬天就要来了,它们该离开了。conclude“推断,决定”;indicate“指示,表明”;confirm“确认,证实”。
19.A 它们意外拜访作者家的池塘期间,作者就喜欢上了它们,它们飞走之后,现在作者想念它们。unexpected“意外的,想不到的”符合语境。
20.D 作者永远不会忘记它们对彼此的深爱。devotion“深爱,忠心”符合语境。

We were ordinary people taking the bus every day that summer.During the early morning rides,we sat sleepily on our seats.One of the passengers was a small grey man to the center for senior citizens.He walked with a stoop (驼背) and a sad look on his face.We paid little attention to him.
Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled to us before sitting down.The driver nodded politely,the rest of us being silent.The next day,the old man boarded the bus energetically,smiled and said loud,“Good morning!” Some of us looked up,amazed,and murmured “Good morning”.The following weeks we were more surprised.Our friend was dressed in a nice old suit with the thin hair carefully combed.He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand.The driver smilingly asked,“Have you got yourself a girlfriend?” He nodded shyly,“She lives at the center.” The other passengers whistled and clapped at him.Charlie bowed before sitting down.
Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower.Some regular passengers began bringing him flowers for his bunch.Everyone smiled and joked about it.

The Domestication(驯化) of Cats
For centuries,the common view of how domestication had occurred was that prehistoric people,realizing how useful it would be to have animals kept for food,began catching wild animals and breeding(饲养) them.Over time,by allowing only animals with “tame”(驯养的) characteristics to produce their babies,human beings created animals that were less wild and more dependent upon people.Eventually this process led to the domestic farm animals and pets that we know today,having lost their ancient survival skills and natural abilities.
Recent research suggests that this view of domestication is incomplete. Prehistoric human beings did catch and breed useful wild animals,but specialists in animal behavior now think that domestication was not simply something people did to animals—the animals played an active part in the process.Wolves and wild horses,for example,may have taken the first steps in their own domestication by hanging around human settlements,feeding on people’s crops and getting used to human activity.The animals which were not too nervous or fearful to live near people produced their babies that also tolerated humans,making it easier for people to catch and breed them.
In this version,people succeeded in domesticating only animals that had already adapted easily to life around humans.Domestication required an animal that was willing to become domestic.The process was more like a dance with partners than a victory of humans over animals.
At first glance,the taming of cats seems to fit nicely into this new story of domestication.A traditional theory says that after prehistoric people in Egypt invented agriculture and started farming,rats and mice gathered to feast on their stored grain.Wildcats,in turn,gathered at the same places to hunt and eat the rats and mice.Over time,cats got used to people and people got used to cats.Some studies of wildcats,however,seem to call this theory into question.Wildcats don’t share hunting and feeding areas,and they don’t live close to people.Experts do not know whether wildcats were partners in their own domestication.They do know that long after people had acquired domestic dogs,sheep and horses,they somehow acquired domestic cats.Gradually they produced animals with increasingly tame qualities.
5.What is suggested in recent research?
A.Animals were less afraid than thought.
B.Animals had an active role in their domestication.
C.Wolves and horses were the first to be domesticated.
D.Domestication meant something people did to animals.
6.The word “dance” is used in Paragraph 3 to show that .?
A.animals and humans were close B.control over animals was easy
C.animals were independent of humans D.domestication was like a game
7.What probably attracted cats to human settlements?
A.Other cats. B.Warmth. C.Humans. D.Food.
8.What causes a problem for the theory that cats were domesticated like wolves were?
A.Cats were not friendly to people.
B.Cats were not as fierce as wolves.
C.Cats had the characteristic of independence.
D.Cats showed cleverness when they were hunting.
语篇解读:关于野生动物的驯化,常见的观点是:早期人类捕捉野生动物并驯养它们;最近的研究显示,在人类驯养野生动物的过程中,动物也起着积极的作用。
答案及剖析:
5.B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句中的domestication was not simply something people did to animals—the animals played an active part in the process.可知,动物在被人类驯化的过程中也起着积极的作用。
6.A 推理判断题。从文中第三段可知,人类驯化那些愿意成为家养的动物。这个过程更像是与舞伴一起跳舞,而非人类战胜动物。由此可见,在野生动物的驯化过程中,人类和动物是亲近的。
7.D 推理判断题。由最后一段可知,古埃及人开始农业耕种,老鼠开始聚集在他们储存粮食的地方,野猫也因此聚集于此捕杀老鼠。可见,吸引猫到人类聚居地可能的原因是猫寻找食物,即老鼠。
8.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Wildcats don’t share hunting and feeding areas,and they don’t live close to people.可知,野猫不会共享捕猎和觅食地,它们和人类住得并不近。这和第二段中的最新研究表明的“人类和一些后来被驯化的野生动物住得很近”相矛盾,即猫拥有独立的个性这一点使这一理论的合理性受到了挑战。
