课时作业(二十三)　选择性必修第三册　Unit 3　Back to the past 一、阅读理解 A (2024·河北邯郸高三调研)When the designer and typographer(排印工) Marcin Wichary chanced upon a tiny museum just outside Barcelona five years ago，the experience tipped his interest in the history of technology into an obsession(痴迷) with a very particular part of it：the keyboard. “I have never seen so many typewriters under one roof.Not even close，”he shared on the Internet at the time.“At this point，I literally have tears in my eyes.I'm not kidding.This feels like a miracle.” He'd had a discovery while wandering through the exhibit：Each key on a keyboard has its own stories.And these stories are not just about computing technology，but also about the people who designed，used，or otherwise interacted with the keyboards. Take the backspace key for example，he explains，“I like that the concept of backspace was originally just that—a space going backward.We are used to it erasing now，but for a hundred years，erasing was its own incredibly complex effort.You needed to master a Comet eraser，or Wite­Out，or strange correction tapes，and possibly all of the above ...or give up and start from scratch whenever you made a small mistake in typing.” The deeper he researched，the more obsessive he became.Amazed that no comprehensive books existed on the history of keyboards，he decided to create his own.When not working at his day job as the design leader for the design software company Figma，he began producing Shift Happens，a two­volume，1，216­page hardcover book—and raised over $750，000 for the project on Kickstarter in March of 2023.Wichary was only a bit surprised by the support and the keyboard's wide appeal.As he points out，“It's such a crucial device that occupies a lot of our waking life.” 1．After the museum experience，Wichary's interest in technology ________． A．took off B．died out C．grew stronger D．became more concrete 2．What did Wichary discover while admiring the keyboards? A．The stories behind them. B．The wisdom of human. C．The secret of the keyboards. D．The history of technology. 3．What does Wichary want to tell us about the backspace key in Paragraph 4? A．It is a simple but powerful key. B．It can be used to move back one space. C．It is the result of long­term improvement. D．It allows people to make mistakes when typing. 4．Why did Wichary write his own book? A．To fill a gap. B．To get famous. C．To make money. D．To record history. [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。设计师兼排印工Marcin Wichary偶然发现一家介绍键盘历史的小博物馆并对键盘产生了极大兴趣，甚至开始创作一本关于键盘历史的书籍。 1．C　[解析]细节理解题。由第一段可知，参观博物馆后，Wichary对技术史的兴趣变成了对技术史中的一个非常特殊的部分——键盘史的痴迷，由此可知，他对技术的兴趣变得更加强烈。故选C。 2．A　[解析]细节理解题。由第三段中的“He'd had a discovery while wandering through the exhibit：Each key on a keyboard has its own stories.”可知，Wichary在欣赏键盘时发现了键盘背后的故事。故选A。 3．C　[解析]推理判断题。由第四段中的“We are used to it erasing ...whenever you made a small mistake in typing.”可知，一百年前擦除本身就是一项极其复杂的工作，而现在人们习惯了退格键的擦除(暗指擦除变得简单了)，Wichary想通过这种变化告诉我们退格键是长期改进的结果。故选C。 4．A　[解析]推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Amazed that no comprehensive books existed on the history of keyboards，he decided to create his own.”可知，Wichary自己写书是为了填补关于键盘历史的综合书籍的空白。故选A。 B (2024·江西吉安一中开学考试)It is reported in the national press that a letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has been returned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives(档案馆) by the FBI after being stolen twice. “We realized in the mid­1970s that it was missing，” says Effie Kapsalis，head of the Smithsonian Institution Archives.“It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern(实习生)，from what the FBI is telling us.Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes，”and the intern put the letter back.“The intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it.” Decades passed.Finally，the FBI received a tip that the stolen document was located very close to Washington，D.C.Their art crime team recovered the letter but were unable to press charges because the time of limitations had ended.The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian's property. The letter is in fairly good condition，in spite of being out of the care of trained museum staff for so long.“It was luckily in good shape，”says Kapsalis，“and we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it.It has some glue on it that has colored it slightly，but nothing that will prevent us from using it.After it is repaired，we will take digital photos of it and that will be available online.One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online.” It would now be difficult for an intern，visitor or a thief to steal a document like this.“Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s，”says Kapsalis，“and we keep our high value documents in a safe that I don't even have access to.” 5．What happened to Darwin's letter in the 1970s? A．It was recovered by the FBI. B.It was put in the archives for research purposes. C．It was stolen more than once. D.It was purchased by the Smithsonian Institution Archives. 6．What did the FBI do after the recovery of the letter? A．They pressed criminal charges in vain. B．They kept it in a special safe.

A．Reserve it for research purposes only. B．Make it available online. C．Keep it a permanent secret. D．Turn it into an object of high interest. 8．What can be a suitable title for the text? A.A Letter by Charles Darwin Returns to the Smithsonian B.The Smithsonian Tightens Security Measures C.The Smithsonian Charges an Intern with Theft D．The FBI Cracks a Criminal Case [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了达尔文的一封亲笔信失而复得，现收藏于美国史密森学会档案馆。20世纪70年代中期，这封信疑似被一位实习生偷走，经过FBI和档案馆工作人员的努力，多年后，这一珍贵的历史资料又被找了回来。 5．C　[解析]细节理解题。根据第一段中的after being stolen twice可知，在20世纪70年代达尔文的这封信被偷了不止一次。故选C。 6．D　[解析]推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Their art crime team recovered the letter ...was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian's property.(他们的艺术犯罪团队追回了这封信，但由于已过追诉时效而无法提出指控。FBI与档案馆紧密合作，确定这封信是真实的，而且绝对是史密森学会的财产。)”可知，FBI在找回这封信后证明了它的真实性。故选D。 7．B　[解析]细节理解题。根据第四段中的“After it is repaired，we will take digital photos of it and that will be available online.”可知，史密森学会档案馆将在线提供该照片供观看。故选B。 8．A　[解析]标题概括题。根据第一段并通读全文可知，文章主要讲了查尔斯·达尔文的信重返史密森学会档案馆的事情。故选A。 二、七选五阅读 According to the traditional Chinese calendar，for every 19 years there will be seven leap months(闰月).“Leap month” refers to a repetitive month and，this year in 2023，there are two Februaries.The setting of leap month is a way to fill the gap of days between the solar calendar and lunar calendar in one year，which is 11 or 12 days，so as to make sure the four seasons basically fit the months.1.______，which are varied in different places.
