课时作业(二)　必修第一册　Unit 2　Let's talk teens 一、阅读理解 A In 2000，Andréa Speranza achieved her dream of becoming a firefighter joining the Halifax Regional Fire Service.Her job was exactly as satisfying as she imagined it would be，except for one thing：She still hadn't seen another woman in her role—not in a magazine，not on television，not in real life.Even today，less than five percent of firefighters in Canada are women.Speranza decided that she wanted to help young women see that they，too，could have a career like hers. The result is Camp Courage，a program for girls aged 15 to 19 who want to learn more about firefighting.In 2006，Speranza and about 20 volunteers welcomed their first 17 participants，recruiting(招募) attendees through advertising in schools and recreation centers.Over the course of eight days，the girls discovered the ins_and_outs of being first responders：learning how to put out fires，deliver first aid and even use the jaws of life(救生钳) on a car. Camp Courage now runs one session every year in Halifax and is free to attend.To offset costs，Speranza and her fellow campers fundraise by holding everything from car washes to comedy nights.Hopeful campers must also submit an essay describing how they plan to help their community，or a specific individual in need.And they have to deliver on the plan—from building a bench(长椅) for a senior at a bus stop to launching a local chapter of the Kids Help Phone. Hundreds of girls have passed through Camp Courage，and 36 percent are doing exactly what 52­year­old Speranza hoped they would：working as first responders across the country.In 2022，the camp held its first session for young women in Halifax，as well as its first national camp in Calgary. 1．What was probably Speranza's wish in 2001? A．To see more female firefighters. B．To make contact with more teenage girls. C．To be recruited to the Halifax Regional Fire Service. D．To work part­time in schools and recreation centers. 2．What does the underlined part “ins_and_outs” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Risks. B．Chances. C．Details. D．Purposes. 3．What can be inferred about Camp Courage? A．It is an international nonprofit organization. B．It teaches the value of being helpful to others. C．It requires its campers to write an essay every week. D.It introduces boys and girls to the emergency services. 4．What can we say about Speranza? A.She had a burning ambition to play comedy. B．She used to be reserved and disciplined. C．She is intellectual and scholarly. D．She is brave and inspiring. [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。Andréa Speranza是一名女性消防员，多年来她一直致力于鼓励其他年轻女性像她一样成为消防员。 1．A　[解析]推理判断题。根据第一段首句“In 2000，Andréa Speranza achieved her dream of becoming a firefighter joining the Halifax Regional Fire Service.”以及“Speranza decided that she wanted to help young women see that they，too，could have a career like hers.”可知，Speranza希望看到更多的女孩能够像她一样成为消防员。故选A。 2．C　[解析]词义猜测题。根据第二段末句“Over the course of eight days，the girls discovered the ins_and_outs of being first responders：learning how to put out fires，deliver first aid and even use the jaws of life on a car.”可知，女孩们在这八天里学习如何灭火、提供急救，甚至是使用救生钳这些作为急救人员需要掌握的详细内容。所以，画线部分表示为“详细内容”。故选C。 3．B　[解析]推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句“Hopeful campers must also submit an essay describing how they plan to help their community，or a specific individual in need.And they have to deliver on the plan—from building a bench for a senior at a bus stop to launching a local chapter of the Kids Help Phone.”可知，Camp Courage这一机构向人们传递乐于助人的价值观。故选B。 4．D　[解析]推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是首段首句“In 2000，Andréa Speranza achieved her dream of becoming a firefighter joining the Halifax Regional Fire Service.”以及第二段首句“The result is Camp Courage，a program for girls aged 15 to 19 who want to learn more about firefighting.”可知，Speranza是一名女性消防员，由此可见她非常勇敢；另外，她还通过Camp Courage这一机构来鼓励其他年轻女性成为消防员，所以她还是一名鼓舞人心的消防员。故选D。 B (2024·广东广州二模)In 1977，Irene Pepperberg，a Harvard graduate，decided to investigate the thought processes of another creature by talking to it.To do this，she would teach a one­year­old African gray parrot(鹦鹉)，Alex，to reproduce the sound of the English language. Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store，where she let the store's assistant choose him because she didn't want other scientists to say that she had intentionally chosen an especially smart bird.Given that Alex's brain was just the size of a walnut，most researchers thought Pepperberg's communication study would be futile. But with Pepperberg's patient teaching，Alex learned how to follow almost 100 English words.He could count to six and had learned the sound for seven and eight.But the point was not to see if Alex could learn words by heart.Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird's understanding of the world. In one demonstration，Pepperberg held up a green key and a green cup for him to look at.“What's the same？”she asked.“Color，”Alex responded without hesitation.“What's different？”Pepperberg asked.“Shape，”Alex quickly replied.His voice had the sound of a cartoon character.But the words—and what can only be called the thoughts—were entirely his.Many of Alex's skills，such as his ability to understand the concepts of “same”and “different”，are rare in the animal world.Living in a complex society，parrots like Alex must keep track of changing relationships and environments. During the demonstration，as if to offer final proof of the mind inside his brain，Alex spoke up.“Talk clearly！” he commanded，when one of the younger birds Pepperberg was also teaching mispronounced the word “green”． Alex knew all the answers himself and was getting bored.“He's moody，”said Pepperberg，“so he interrupts the others，or he gives the wrong answer just to be difficult.”Pepperberg was certainly learning more about the mind of a parrot，but like the parent of a troublesome teenager，she was learning the hard way. 5．Why did Pepperberg let the shop assistant choose the bird? A．A bird with a small brain was needed. B．She wanted a very smart bird for her study. C.A research subject should be randomly chosen. D．The shop assistant was better at choosing birds. 6．What might most researchers think of Pepperberg's study at first? A．Innovative. B．Practical. C．Costly. D．Fruitless. 7．Which of the following aspects of Alex's ability did Pepperberg's study focus on? A．Understanding concepts. B．Calculating. C．Recognizing voices. D．Creating English words. 8．What caused Pepperberg's struggle in her study? A．Her instructions had to be easy for Alex. B．Alex was sometimes too clever to control. C.Alex would point out other birds' mistakes. D.She had trouble understanding Alex's mood. [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了1977年哈佛大学毕业生Irene Pepperberg决定通过与鹦鹉交谈来研究它的思维过程。 5．C　[解析]细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store，where she let the store's assistant choose him because she didn't want other scientists to say that she had intentionally chosen an especially smart bird.”可知，Pepperberg让店员挑选那只鸟，是因为要随机选择研究对象。故选C。 6．D　[解析]推理判断题。根据第二段中“Given that Alex's brain was just the size of a walnut，most researchers thought Pepperberg's communication study would be futile.”可知，大多数研究人员一开始认为Pepperberg的研究是徒劳的。故选D。 7．A　[解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird's understanding of the world.”以及第四段中的“Many of Alex's skills，such as his ability to understand the concepts of ‘same’ and ‘different’，are rare in the animal world.”可知，Pepperberg的研究关注的是Alex理解概念的能力。故选A。 8．B　[解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“‘He's moody，’ said Pepperberg，‘so he interrupts the others，or he gives the wrong answer just to be difficult.’”可知，Alex有时太聪明了，以致于无法控制，导致Pepperberg在研究过程中陷入困境。故选B。 二、完形填空 I lost my sight when I was four.I can hardly __1__ the brightness of sunshine.
