课时检测训练19　选择性必修第一册　Unit 1　Laugh out loud! 对应学生用书P328 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A （2023·金丽衢十二校第一次联考） When I talk to kids about writing, I often compare it to the roller coaster to remind them to mix laughs with thrills in writing, because nobody wants to ride a roller coaster that is long, never-ending and terrifying. Even Shakespeare, in his darkest tragedies, opens each act with a funny scene before the swords and daggers or poison come out. We need comic relief in literature, a break in the tension. I have always tried to write stories for kids that mix the heart-racing thrill of a mystery with a few jokes. Maybe this is because, when I was in the fifth and sixth grades, the fun comic magazine was my favorite reading material. Then in high school, I was the class clown. When I first moved to New York City, I performed with one of the city’s top comedy groups. Comedy, I have discovered, is a great teaching tool. It is also a wonderful defense against fear. One of my favorite e-mails I’ve ever received was sent to me in 2009 by a young reader who loved my stories. Here’s what he wrote： Dear Mr. Grabenstein, I just want to let you know that I really, absolutely love your books. I’m in 6th grade and recently have finished The Hanging Hill after reading The Crossroads. Your stories mix action,humor and horror together in a perfect combination.  Thanks so much! Will R. Comedy is a writer’s tool for releasing tension and it also simply makes books more fun to read. I used humor in my novel The Island of Dr. Libris to make classic literature feel more accessible to young readers. I also think it’s why so many reluctant readers—including kids who haven’t read a book in years—have been crazy about Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library and Mr. Lemoncello’s Library Olympics. Learning the Dewey Decimal System in the class can be fun if it is presented in a funny way. Because when we’re laughing, we never think we’re working too hard. ［语篇导读］ 本文是一篇议论文。作者通过自己的阅读和写作经历告诉热爱写作的人们：无论你创作什么类型的作品,都要学会使用幽默。 1.Where is the text probably from？ A.A literature textbook. B.An autobiography. C.A writing guidebook. D.A writing outline. 解析 文章出处题。根据第一段的内容和最后一段的首句可以判断,本文主要讲述了如何写作可以让读者更有兴趣阅读,这样的文章可能出自写作指南,故C项正确。 答案 C 2.Why does the author mention the e-mail from a student in paragraph 3？ A.To prove a theory. B.To explain a concept. C.To support his opinion. D.To introduce the topic. 解析 写作意图题。根据第三段中的“One of my…loved my stories.”可知,作者之所以提到这封邮件是为了证明自己的观点和写作方式深受读者喜爱,故C项正确。 答案 C 3.Which of the following best describes Dewey Decimal System in the last paragraph？ A.Efficient.

In Jungian philosophy，the conflict and chaos experienced in dreams finally bring order to our lives.While Jung’s mystical theories are debatable，he was not mistaken about the importance of dreaming. A growing number of reports show that a continuous lack of dreaming is damaging our waking hours in many ways. This trend is causing damage to our immune and metabolic(新陈代谢的)systems，let alone the electronic products that keep us up late at night are ruining our sleep patterns，which has long-term consequences for our memory system.One study showed that not allowing mice to have adequate amounts of REM(Rapid Eye Movement)sleep，the stage in which we dream，the mice couldn’t strengthen memories. You might think this is just a sleep problem，but dreaming is inseparable from our nighttime rest. We sleep in cycles(周期)，each lasting about 90 minutes; in a sleep cycle，we go through non-REM sleep before hitting REM.As the night progresses，REM sleep periods increase in length while deep sleep(one of the stages of non-REM sleep)decreases. The longer we sleep，the more time we spend in REM，which is why we are often dreaming when waking up in the morning.If we sleep less than seven hours，however，it becomes harder to achieve this level of REM. The combination of sleeping and dreaming acts as an emotional stabilizer.We recover from emotional hurt faster when we sleep and dream properly.However，we’re not getting enough sleep to cycle through the stages to take advantage of this natural circadian anti-depressant(抗抑郁药)—dreams.Instead，we get depressed and turn to alcohol or medicines to get to sleep，which only makes things worse because even one drink leads to late REM while anti-depressants promote deep sleep at the expense of REM. We’re paying for this lack of dreaming in many ways.For example，a 2021 study stated that compared with quiet rest and non-REM sleep，REM promoted the formation of associative networks and the integration(整合)of unassociated information. Volunteers that experienced more REM sleep were better equipped for solving problems requiring creative solutions. Rowan Hooper，the managing editor at New Scientist，writes that dreams that include an “emotional core”appear to be a main function of REM sleep and that we should look at sleep patterns as seriously as we look at diet and exercise habits. ［语篇导读］ 本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了做梦和睡眠之间的关系，以及做梦的缺乏给我们带来的损害。 5.What’s Carl Jung’s view about dreams? A.They cause chaos. B.They damage immunity. C.They reveal secrets. D.They mirror reality. 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Dreams，according to…during waking consciousness”可知，Carl Jung认为梦揭示了在清醒意识中一些被隐藏的现实。即梦会反映现实，故选D。 答案 D  6.Why is the sleep process explained in paragraph 3? A.To show a dream mainly occurs during REM sleep.  B.To prove the minimum sleep time should be seven hours.  C.To prove dream problems and sleep problems are attached.  D.To show people often dream when waking up in the morning.  解析 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句内容可知，你可能认为这只是睡眠问题，但做梦与夜间休息是分不开的。再结合第三段最后两句“The longer we…level of REM”可知，我们睡得越久，在快速眼动阶段(做梦)花费的时间就越多，这就是我们早上醒来时经常在做梦的原因。然而，如果我们的睡眠时间少于7小时，就很难达到这种程度的快速眼动。由此可推知，我们是否做梦，与睡眠时长及睡眠过程中的快速眼动是有直接关系的，所以第三段对睡眠过程进行解释，是为了证明做梦问题和睡眠问题是有关联的。故选C。 答案 C  7.What conclusion can be inferred from paragraph 5? A.Dreaming promotes creativity. B.Dreaming helps fight depression. C.The brain still receives new information during REM sleep.  D.The brain is paying the price for having more non-REM sleep.  解析 推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“Volunteers that experienced…requiring creative solutions”可知，经历了更多快速眼动睡眠的志愿者更善于解决需要创造性解决方案的问题。由此可推知，做梦让人更具有创造力。 答案 A  8.What’s the main idea of the passage? A.The importance of sleep lies in dreams. B.The absence of dreams is terrible for us. C.Dreaming patterns are more important than we realize.  D.Dreaming has mystical power of strengthening memories.  解析 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章第一段阐述了做梦的重要性，做梦的缺乏会给我们带来损害；第二段介绍了做梦的缺乏会对我们的免疫系统、新陈代谢和记忆造成损害；第四段说睡眠和做梦结合起来可以起到稳定情绪的作用；第五段说我们正以许多方式为缺乏做梦付出代价。由此可推知，本文主要介绍了做梦的缺乏对于我们来说是可怕的。 答案 B  Ⅱ.完形填空 (2023·青岛调研)Amy Jandrisevits knows the value of a good doll.“Dolls have 1 we don’t completely understand，”she said.It’s a(n) 2 she got while she was working as a social worker using dolls to help young kids 3 their changing medical situations. Seven years ago，a 4 said that her child was involved in a car accident，leaving a scar(伤疤)on his face.Jandrisevits knew what might help the youth through this 5 period. “It’s 6 to tell a kid，‘You are perfect in the way you are.’and to build 7 that way，”she says. Jandrisevits went about 8 that.She made a doll by hand that looked like her friend’s child and sent it off.
