Unit 2 Working the land.閱讀理解(2018·全國)Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun,according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers,some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many childrens lives,and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.According to the reports key findings,“the proportion(比例) who say they hardly ever read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children,ages 2-8,remain largely the same.But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined,from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technology and reading,the report does little to counsel(建議) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading.It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading,mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading.Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently,compared to infrequent readers,have more books in the home,more books purchased for them,parents who read more often,and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of school approaches,and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead,parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.【語篇導讀】本文是一篇議論文。調查發(fā)現(xiàn),青少年兒童的讀書興趣大大減少,而且,出于對孩子眼睛保護的考慮,許多家長限制孩子們電子閱讀的時間。作者建議家長們借此機會制定適合自己家庭的暑假閱讀清單。1.What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A.Childrens reading

started to feel guilty and wanted her family to forgive her.Does this story sound familiar?What about you?1 We sometimes make some mistakes.2 When you hurt someone and start feeling guilty,the first thing you need to do is forgive yourself before you ask others to forgive you.Whether you screamed at your child,hurt your partner or lied to your friend,it is necessary to forgive yourself for your benefit. To learn how to forgive yourself,follow the guide below: 3 If it is something simple such as screaming at your child or your partner,then work on understanding yourself and emotions.It is also necessary to understand why you took this action for which you have to forgive yourself now.  After you have known about your mistake,you need to learn your lesson from it,so you wont repeat it.Ask yourself,what can you learn from what you have done?4  Realize that you are a human and everyone makes mistakes or does things they are not proud of.5 All it will do is to cause you pain,sorrow,stress,and could lead you into low spirits.Therefore,it is better to make a decision to forgive yourself. Always remember the saying,“We achieve inner health only through forgiveness,the forgiveness not only of others but also of ourselves.”A.Recognize your behavior and what you have done.B.It is of great help if you just ignore what led to the situation.C.If you stay upset and angry at yourself,this will not benefit you.D.Have you done something you feel you cant forgive yourself for?E.Do you hate yourself so much that you feel life is coming to an end?F.We also hurt others intentionally and unintentionally now and then.G.Do you have to change some habits or behavior to avoid such experiences?答案與解析【語篇導讀】本文是一篇說明文。我們發(fā)脾氣之后經常會感到后悔和自責,然后請求他人的原諒。其實我們首先要做的是原諒我們自己。本文對此提出了一些建議。1.D本段承接上下文,導出話題:這個故事聽起來很熟悉嗎?你呢?你做過連你自己都無法原諒的事情嗎?故D項符合文意。2.F此處承接上下文,選項中的“also”以及“hurt”對此有明顯的提示。我們有時會犯錯誤,也會有意無意地傷害他人。當你傷害了他人并為此感到愧疚時,你首先要做的就是在你要求別人原諒你之前先原諒你自己。故F項符合文意。3.A根據下文中的“If it is something simple”可知,句中的“it”指代我們所做的事情,和A項中的“behavior”及“what you have done”相一致,故A項符合文意。4.G此處緊接上一句“Ask yourself,what can you learn from what you have done?”,意為:問問你自己,你能從中學到什么呢?你需要改變已有的行為習慣來避免犯同樣的錯誤嗎?故G項符合文意。5.C根據下一句中的“All it will do is to cause you pain”可知,句中的“it”指代負面情緒,與選項中的“upset”及“angry”等相一致,故C項符合文意。.完形填空(2018·浙江杭州教學質量檢測)Its easy for grown-ups
