Unit 3 Section Ⅱ Reading and Thinking-【精讲精练】2023-2024学年高中英语必修第一册人教版（课时作业）

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

Kristin and Dakota Bowden of Texas have been going through a hard time.Their worries began in early March when Lula Beth，their 3­year­old daughter，started experiencing great pain.

“Throughout March we visited different doctors' offices at least six times.She was diagnosed (诊断) with a UTI 2－3 times.RSV once.Flu­bug once.” Kristin wrote on Internet.

By March 23，they were almost mad for answers.They headed to the hospital for more tests.Then came the most dreadful news for every parent：Lula Beth had a football­sized cancerous tumor (癌肿瘤) that would require surgery (手术) to remove.

“I will forever remember that feeling，” her mom wrote later.“Heartbreak.The heaviest sadness.Shock.Fear.”

The girl had surgery on March 26.After five long hours，her doctors were able to remove the tumor.Yet no cancer fight is easy，and Lula Beth needed chemotherapy (化疗) treatments for the following weeks.

When their family was warned about hair loss due to chemo，Kristin did her best to prepare her daughter for it.She explained that she might have to shave (剃) Lula Beth's head.

“To my surprise her reply was，‘Let's do it right now！’” Kristin said.“That's my girl! 3 years old，not afraid of anything，and ready to deal with any task.”

And her brother made sure she wouldn't have to do it alone! After Kohen found out what she was going to do，he asked to shave his head like his sister's.He even let Lula Beth do the shaving!

“Best.Brother.Ever.Hands down！” their proud mom wrote later.

By the end of May，Lula Beth had completed her weekly chemotherapy treatments—and had her first clean scan!

Now，she's back on the road to wellness，and it's all thanks to her wonderful care team and the love and support her family and friends have shown her.

[语篇解读]　记叙文　文章讲述了小女孩不幸患癌后在家人的支持和医护人员的照料下勇敢抗癌的故事。

1．What happened when Lula Beth was first brought to the doctor's office?

A．She was treated carelessly.

B．She was diagnosed wrongly.

C．She received surgery at once.

D．She was too afraid to go through tests.

解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Throughout March we visited different doctors' offices...a UTI 2－3 times.RSV once.Flu­bug once.”和第三段中的“Lula Beth had a football­sized cancerous tumor”可知，小女孩刚开始被送去就诊时，医生的诊断与最终的确诊结果不一致。因此，一开始医生诊断错误。

2．What does the underlined word “dreadful” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Strange.  B．Terrible.

C．Difficult.  D．Important.

解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“Lula Beth had a football­sized cancerous tumor that would require surgery to remove”和第四段中克莉丝汀对得知女儿确诊结果时内心的感受所做的描述可推断，画线词意为“糟糕的”。

3．What did Lula Beth do when she learned she would have her head shaved?

A．She accepted it at once.

B．She turned to her brother.

C．She refused it out of sadness.

D．She was too surprised to believe it.

解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第七段中的“To my surprise her reply was，‘Let's do it right now！’”可知，小女孩在得知自己需要剃光头发时马上接受了这个状况。

4．How did Kohen support his sister?

A．By having his hair cut off too.

B．By offering to do the shaving.

C．By teaching her how to shave.

D．By making her a beautiful gift.

解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第八段中的“After Kohen found out what she was going to do，he asked to shave his head like his sister's.”可知，科恩选择像妹妹一样剃光头来支持她。

Different weather makes people feel different.It influences health，intelligence and feelings.

In August，it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States.People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month.In the Northeast and the Middle West，it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times.People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.

The weather can also influence intelligence.For example，in a 2018 report by scientists，IQs of a group of students were very high when a very strong wind came; but after the strong wind，their IQs were 10% below.The wind can help people have more intelligence.Very hot weather，on the other hand，can make it lower.Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August)．

Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings.Winter may be a bad time for thin people.They usually feel cold during these months.They might feel unhappy during cold weather.But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer.At about 18℃，people become stronger.

Low air pressure(气压)may make people forgetful.People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low­pressure days.There is “good weather” for work and health.People feel best at a temperature of about 18 ℃.

Are you feeling sad，tired，forgetful，or unhappy today? It may be the problem of weather.

[语篇解读]　说明文　讲述了天气会影响人的健康、智力和感受。

5．When do people in the Northeast in America have more heart trouble?

A．In February.  B．In July.

C．In August.  D．In November.

解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段的“In the Northeast and the Middle West，it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times.People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.(在美国东北部和中西部，有时很热，有时很冷。在2月或3月天气变化后，这些州的人有更多的心脏病)”可知，在美国东北部地区人们在2月更容易患心脏病。

6．Which is not mentioned in the text that weather has an effect on?

A．People's health.

B．People's appearance.

C．People's intelligence.

D．People's feelings.

解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一段“Different weather makes people feel different.It influences health，intelligence and feelings.(不同的天气让人感觉不同。它影响健康、智力和感受)”可知，文章指出天气可以影响人的健康、智力和情感。 “人们的外貌”没有提及。故选B。

7．Why does the text mention “People leave more bags on buses and in shops” in paragraph 5?
