1、限时规范练14(必修3Unit 4)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与科学、关注前沿科技的素养能力意识一、阅读理解ASome new comets have been discovered accidentally by amateur astronomers.Surprisingly a few bright comets have been discovered with the naked eye (肉眼) by members of the general public.However,a great number of comets are found by comet hunters c
2、arrying out telescope searches of chosen areas of the night sky.As the movement of all comets is directed around the Sun and because these bodies brighten as they move towards the Sun,there is a greater possibility for the discovery of a new comet in the skies towards the Sun rather than away from t
3、he Suns direction.This means that searches should be put on the western sky after evening light and on the eastern sky before morning light.From the astronomical point there is no time during the year which is the best for the discovery of new comets.A search can be done at any time providing there
4、is no bright Moon.Studies done on the discovery conditions of comets discovered before show that more comets have been discovered in the morning sky than in the evening sky.Thus the smart comet hunter should make sure that morning activity receives as much as if not more attention than evening effor
5、t.In recent times,the use of advanced CCD technology to discover objects close to the Earth will in the future greatly reduce the chances of new comets being found with small telescopes.An example of the new technology is the very successful LINEAR program operating in New Mexico.However,until a sim
6、ilar system is based in the southern half of the Earth there will continue to be chances for the discovery of new comets which come from the south.1.What are comet hunters advised to do?A.Look away from the Sun.B.Stay where theres bright light.C.Face the western sky in the daytime.D.Turn to the east

10、zed.When I started writing,it wasnt the hurtful criticism from readers that prevented me from getting started.It was my worries about what they would think if I wrote about the things I cared about.I wrote my ideas in a private document for a year before I worked up the courage to start sharing them
11、 publicly.Usually,haters simply criticize and move on.And that means that you can safely ignore them and continue doing your thing.But that is easier said than done because we all like to be validated.Some people like it more than others,but everyone wants to be respected and appreciated to some deg
12、ree.I certainly do.I know that whenever I choose to take a risk and share my work with the world,I wonder about how the people around me will see me because of that choice.Will this help my fame? Will this hurt my fame? Should I even be worrying about my fame? Finally,I decided that it was more impo
13、rtant to contribute something to the world than it was to protect myself from criticism.The truth about criticism is that its almost always in your head.It is natural for most people to hold onto negative criticism.According to a research paper titled “Bad Is Stronger Than Good” by Roy Baumeister an
14、d researchers at Florida State University,we are more likely to remember negative criticism than praise.Baumeister found that even happy people are more likely to remember more negative events than positive ones.In fact,Baumeister and his team say that when it comes to your brain,it takes about five

23、词数80左右;2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。参考答案限时规范练14(必修3Unit 4)一、【篇章导读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了观测彗星的要领。一些业余的天文学爱好者发现了一些彗星。甚至一些普通大众也能通过肉眼观察到彗星,但大多数彗星都是在夜空中通过天文望远镜观察到的。1.D细节理解题。由第二段中的“This means that searches should be put on the western sky after evening light and on the eastern sky before morning light.”可知,早晨太阳出来之前应观测东面的天空。2.C
24、细节理解题。由第三段中的“A search can be done at any time providing there is no bright Moon.”可知,只要没有月亮,每一天对彗星猎人来说都一样可以观测。3.B推理判断题。由第四段中的“Thus the smart comet hunter should make sure that morning activity receives as much as if not more attention than evening effort.”可知,早晚观测彗星应该投入一样的精力。4.B推理判断题。由最后一段中的“In recent
25、 times,the use of advanced CCD technology to discover objects close to the Earth will in the future greatly reduce the chances of new comets being found with small telescopes.”可知,这种技术降低了彗星猎人成功的概率,他们应该会感到有些失望。【篇章导读】本文是议论文。对于批评,我们的恐惧和难以释怀是正常的,但是我们需要忽略它们继续前行。5.A细节理解题。由第二段中的“It was my worries about what
26、 they would think if I wrote about the things I cared about.”可知答案。6.D词义猜测题。由下一句中的“everyone wants to be respected and appreciated to some degree”可知,每个人都希望被尊重、赞扬和认可,因此画线词可以替换为praised(赞扬)。7.B推理判断题。这三个问题是作者在内心问自己的。每个人都想获得他人的肯定,维护自己的声誉,作者也不例外,因此会担心自己的决定影响自己的声誉。8.C细节理解题。由最后一段中的“we are more likely to remem
27、ber negative criticism than praise”可知答案。二、【篇章导读】本文是议论文。年轻人可以从上一辈人身上学到很多东西。1.B由下文年轻人可以在工作和人际关系上从上一辈人身上学到很多东西可知,此处表示在很多“方面(ways)”。2.C由下文第二、三段可知,年轻人在工作和人际关系上可以向上一辈人“学习(learn from)”。3.B第三段中的their own life experience对本空有提示。4.D本段主要介绍的是上一辈人对年轻人在工作上的帮助。因此此处表示:上一辈人可以给年轻人“说明(explain)”如何能够获得“梦想(dream of)”的工作。5
28、.A6.D上一辈人“建议(suggest)”年轻人应该做什么以获得必需的技能从而最大限度地获得成功。7.A本句是对上一句的递进,下一句是对本句的递进,故此处用also符合语境。8.C本段主要讲的是上一辈人对年轻人在工作上的帮助,因此此处指应该接受哪份“工作(job)”。9.C上一辈人甚至可以请自己的朋友帮助年轻人找到“岗位(position)”。10.D上一辈人已经经历过生活中的很多事情,因此有生活经验这个“优势(advantage)”。11.B下文中的in their own relationships对本空有提示。12.B根据上下文语境以及常识可知,上一辈人会反思自己的经历,对于有些事情,
29、他们认为当时可以采取的做法会有所“不同(differently)”(从而使事情更加完美)。13.D而他们的经验教训可以避免年轻人犯类似的“错误(mistakes)”。14.C本文旨在说明上一辈人对年轻人的帮助,因此此处表示:如果年轻人准备听从这些“建议(advice)”。15.B那么这些建议一定会对他们有所“帮助(helpful)”。三、Dear Sir/Madam,I am a student at Chenguang High School expecting to graduate in three months.I came across your school website and
