選修七 Unit 3 單元話題語篇訓(xùn)練閱讀理解組塊專練（練速度）.閱讀理解A(2019陜西質(zhì)檢)The electricity workers strike has been going on for three days. Below are some statements about the strike.Mr. Mike Smith：It wasnt an easy decision, but we have been asking for a reasonable wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. Were only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. Its a pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by our strike, but please dont blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim.Mr. Tom Brown：Its totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to stop the prices going up. If wages go up, so do prices. If we give in to them, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis (危機) would bee uncontrollable. We offer them a 10 percent increase. And thats already too much. My stand on the strike is to persuade the Union to see the reason.Mr. Bob Davis：Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldnt be allowed to strike. Of course the electricity workers want to get more money. Dont we all?Miss Stater：Lets face it. Its neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we cant do anything about it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so they can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers money all the time on unimportant things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is “too much”？Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. Its just one of those things.語篇解讀：本文介紹了四個人針對電力工人罷工陳述了不同的觀點。1Who is most likely to be an employee in electricity industry?AMr. Mike Smith.BMr. Tom Brown.CMr. Bob Davis. DMiss Stater.解析：選A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后兩句“Its a pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by our strike, but please dont blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim”可知，Mike Smith先生認(rèn)為，他們的罷工是因為政府拒絕他們的要求。據(jù)此可知，Mike Smith 先生很可能是電力工人，故A項正確。2The underlined word in Paragraph 3 most probably means “_”Aavoidable BinspiringCautomatic Dsensitive解析：選C詞義猜測題。根據(jù)該句中的“If we give in to them, all the other unions would want more”可知， Tom Brown 先生認(rèn)為，如果他們對工人讓步，則其他的工會將會提出更多的要求；結(jié)合該句中的“with the inevitable result that the crisis (危機) would bee uncontrollable”可知，這必然會導(dǎo)致危機變得不可控制。據(jù)此可以判斷，畫線詞意為“必然發(fā)生的”與C項含義相近，故C項正確。3We can learn from the text that _.Athe electricity workers wont achieve their goalBthe government wont meet the workers demandCthe strike caused little trouble for the societyDthe workers got little support from the society解析：選D推理判斷題。通讀第三至四段可知， Tom Brown先生認(rèn)為工資上漲勢必導(dǎo)致物價上漲，故他們的工資上漲10%就已經(jīng)很多了；Bob Davis先生認(rèn)為，所有人在此次罷工中都會受到傷害，包括電力工人自己，而且工會權(quán)力太大，不應(yīng)當(dāng)批準(zhǔn)罷工。據(jù)此可以判斷，電力工人的要求幾乎沒有得到社會的支持，故D項正確。B(2019武漢市武昌區(qū)調(diào)研)When he looked at me, it was clear my father wasnt sure who I was. And as I looked back at him, I wasnt sure who he was, either.My father had just gone through heart surgery and 6 days in intensive care. Hed returned to the hospital where hed worked for 40 years. It was the hospital where all his children had been born. The doctors said that he may have a long period of confusion after the surgery. And because hes eightysix, it may be many months before he returns to normal. Its also possible he may never be “normal” again.I sat there in this hospital room, spoonfeeding the man Ive seen as powerful and capable all my life. It felt like the full circle of life had e around us. It felt good to support him, yet part of me wanted to tell him to be “normal” again. I wasnt sure if I was ready to accept the full meaning of it: that my father may never be that powerful and capable person again.Pain and suffering have visited my family, as they will visit all families. And while we hesitate to face pain and suffering, they have great lessons to teach us. Pain and suffering are well outside of the boundaries of our everyday life. When they e, they break these boundaries and turn our world upside down. We bee a family with all of the others who have known the pain and suffering. And we have another chance to consider whats truly important in our lives. This crisis will pass, and well all be changed by it. The healing hands of time will do their work. Im thankful that Ive told my father everything Ive wanted to say to him. And Im thankful to have my family to lean on during this difficult time. Well all be challenged by this to show more support, care, and love.This is as it should be. Sometimes, it takes a crisis to remind us of why were all here.語篇解讀：本文是一篇家庭生活類記敘文。在作者眼里，父親一向都是強壯能干的，但是現(xiàn)在父親年事已高，住院動了心臟手術(shù)后已經(jīng)不認(rèn)識作者了。作者感慨痛苦與苦難會讓人變得更堅強，痛苦終將過去，家人是我們的依靠。4What do we know about the writers father from the passage?AHe will recover from his illness soon.BHe has been lying in bed for 40 years.CHe used to be a powerful and capable man.DHe didnt know the author after head surgery.解析：選C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“I sat there in this hospital room, spoonfeeding the man Ive seen as powerful and capable all my life”中的 powerful and capable可知，在作者眼里，父親以前是強壯能干的，所以選C。5How did the author feel when thinking of the pain and suffering his family had?AGrateful.

Most time the task is easily acplished with parents reading or talking to their babies. However, in some cases that is not possible due to busy work schedules or when kids are born deaf. Now, an adorable blueeyed robot, a human avatar, and some hightech neuroscience may be able to assist parents with this important developmental task.The Robot AVatar thermalEnhanced system, or RAVE, is the brainchild of a team of researchers led by LauraAnn Petitto, an educational neuroscientist, at Washington, D. Cs Gallaudet University. The learning process begins when the robots camera, which is focused on the babys face, detects tiny changes in his/her body temperature. This, bined with the babys facial expression, causes the robot to turn its head and guide the babys attention to a puter screen, on which a human avatar starts to municate with the baby, much like a parent would. For example, if the baby points towards the screen, the avatar might respond, “Are you pointing to me？” and follow that up with a nursery rhyme, fairy tale, or some essential social munication, all in American Sign Language (ASL). The “conversation” continues until the kid loses interest.The researchers, who have been testing the system for three years, found that babies as young as 6 to 8 months old began to move their hands in a rhythm similar to ASL after interacting with RAVE for just a few minutes. Petitto says natural language, whether municated through speech or sign, activates the same parts of the brain and believes the rhythmic motions prove the babies are learning the essential elements of munication.What sets this technique apart from other methods, such as showing educational videos or television shows, is its interactive nature and realtime response to the babys actions. The researchers say that while it is too early to determine the systems longterm influence on baby munication, the initial response has been very encouraging. Next, they plan to introduce an avatar that can both sign and speak to babies.語篇解讀：本文是一篇科普說明文，主要介紹了一種可以幫助父母教嬰兒學(xué)習(xí)語言的系統(tǒng)，以及該系統(tǒng)的工作原理、效果評價和研究人員對這種技術(shù)的展望。8What can the RAVE system help parents do?AImprove babies health condition.BTake good care of babies.CDevelop babies language skills.DKeep babies pany.解析：選C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句可知，專家認(rèn)為教孩子語言技能的最佳時間是孩子的嬰兒時期；結(jié)合第一段尾句以及第二段中的“The Robot . a team of researchers”可知，RAVE系統(tǒng)可以幫助父母完成教嬰兒學(xué)習(xí)語言的任務(wù)，故C項正確。9What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?AHow babies learn ASL effectively.BHow parents educate their babies.CHow robots talk and read to babies.DHow the RAVE system works.解析：選D段落大意題。根據(jù)第二段第二、三句“The learning process begins . on which a human avatar starts to municate with the baby, much like a parent would”并結(jié)合全段內(nèi)容可知，該段主要介紹了RAVE系統(tǒng)的工作原理，故D項正確。10What indicates babies are learning with the help of the RAVE system?AInterest in videos and TV shows.BChanges in their body temperature.CImprovement in their natural language.DHand movements in a rhythm like ASL.解析：選D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“babies as young . a few minutes”可知，在和這種系統(tǒng)交流互動之后，嬰兒就會開始以類似于ASL的節(jié)奏晃動他們的手，故D項正確。11What do the researchers think of the RAVE system?APromising. BImpractical.CSatisfactory. DDisappointing.解析：選A觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)第四段第二、三句“The researchers say . the initial response has been very encouraging. Next, they plan to introduce an avatar that can both sign and speak to babies”可知，研究人員對這種系統(tǒng)的發(fā)展是充滿著希望的，A項意為“很有前途的，大有希望的”，符合語境，故A項正確。D(2019福州質(zhì)檢)If you thought pilots dimmed (使變昏暗) the lights before takeoff to give you some shuteye, think again. Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.The dimmed lights before taking off from the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one thats pletely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide，” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑點) as your sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 minutes to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” time since you havent been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (熒光燈) all flight.Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, it also reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction，” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, which might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know its for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky.語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了飛行員在飛機起飛和降落之前把機艙內(nèi)的燈光調(diào)暗的原因。12The lights are turned down before takeoff to help passengers _.Atake a short breakBescape in time from an emergencyCcreate a warm atmosphereDadapt their eyes to the bright environment解析：選B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“The dimmed lights before taking off from the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape”可知，在飛機起飛和降落前把(機艙內(nèi)的)燈光調(diào)暗是一種飛行預(yù)防措施，用于幫助乘客在緊急逃生時使眼睛更快速地適應(yīng)周圍的環(huán)境。故本題選B。13What is one of the roles of shortening “dark adaptation” time?ASlowing down the landing.BAdjusting the plane lights.CKeeping passengers calm.DHelping the crew judge outside risks.解析：選D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, which might affect an escape”可知，它也使乘務(wù)員更容易評估任何外部風(fēng)險，如火災(zāi)或碎片，這些可能會影響逃生。故選D項。14What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?ADimming lights. BThe escape process.CReducing tension. DThe passage.解析：選A代詞指代題。在最后一段第一句“Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, it also reduces the tension . passage”中，dimming lights為句子的主語；又因it用于指代上文出現(xiàn)過的同一個事物，故此處“It”指代前一句中的“dimming lights”，故選A。15What is the text mainly about?AA tip of air travel.BAn emergency event on a plane.CA warning message on a plane.DAn explanation of an airline safety measure.解析：選D主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，文章介紹了飛行員在飛機起飛和降落前會把機艙內(nèi)的燈光調(diào)暗的原因；再根據(jù)文章第二段最后一句中的“dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers”可知，文章主要介紹了一項航空安全措施，并非“一條航空旅行的建議”“飛機上的一個緊急事件”或“飛機上的一則警告信息”。故本題選D。.閱讀七選五(2019東北三省四市模擬)Does your mood change with the seasons?Some people find that when the temperature goes down, so do their spirits. _16_ They eat more and gain weight.
