课时小练(十六)　阅读完形提分练 阅读A　体裁:记叙文　主题语境:对社会有突出贡献的人　难度:★★★☆☆ 　 　　Macinley Butson was just 16 years old when she first had the idea to try and protect women from more-than-necessary radiation (辐射) during breast cancer treatments—and now, her invention could be a game-changer in the medical field. Butson, whose father works in medical physics, has always been interested in science. But she only began researching the harmful side effects of radiation treatment after her father discussed his experience with ineffective cancer treatments in his work. Since Butson had also recently lost a relative to breast cancer, she felt inspired to conduct her own research on the subject. She tried to begin her medical research by consulting scientific journals, but she found their academic terms almost impossible to understand. She then turned to the Internet to find videos that taught how to read scientific journals. As she went deeper in her research, she stumbled upon a key bit of information: copper (铜) has been shown to be effective at protecting skin from radiation. An idea hit this Australian teen as she was viewing a film on medieval (中世纪的) wars in her 10th grade history class. When she saw the scaled (鳞片) patterns of the mail (盔甲), she was inspired to create a wearable protective tool out of copper. She then headed back online and watched videos on how to put together tiny scales. She made her own flexible scale-mail which she now calls SMART: Scale Mail for Radiation Therapy.  When her invention was tested in a laboratory setting, it reduced surface exposure (暴露) to unnecessary radiation by 75%. And now Butson is working on getting her SMART into clinical settings for use. 　　【语篇解读】　16岁的Macinley Butson用铜制成了一种可穿戴的防护工具,使乳腺癌患者在接受检查时能够减少受到不必要的辐射。现在Butson正在努力将她的发明投入到临床使用。 1.Why did Macinley Butson start her research? A. To assist her father with his work. B. To save her relative from cancer. C. To publish some articles in journals. D. To find effective ways to treat cancer. 答案与解析　D　推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“但在她的父亲讲述了自己在工作中治疗癌症无效的经历后,她开始研究放射治疗的有害副作用。”可判断出, Macinley Butson开始她的研究的原因是寻找治疗癌症的有效方法。故选D。 2.What does the underlined phrase “stumbled upon” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Came across. B. Missed. C. Passed on. D. Required. 答案与解析　A　词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句“她到网上找到教如何阅读科学期刊的视频。”及第三句和第四句“这位澳大利亚青少年在10年级历史课上观看一部有关中世纪战争的电影时,心中产生了一个念头。当她看到盔甲的鳞片图案时,她受到启发,用铜制成了一种可穿戴的防护工具。”可知,画线部分所在句的意思是“随着研究的深入,她偶然发现了一些关键信息:铜被证明可以有效保护皮肤免受辐射。”由此可知,画线短语的意思是“偶然发现”。故选A。 3.Where did Macinley Butson get inspiration for her invention? A. Videos online. B. Scientific journals. C. History textbooks. D. Soldiers’ defensive clothes. 答案与解析　D　细节理解题。根据第三段第三句和第四句“这位澳大利亚青少年在10年级历史课上观看一部有关中世纪战争的电影时,心中产生了一个念头。当她看到盔甲的鳞片图案时,她受到启发,用铜制成了一种可穿戴的防护工具。”可知, Macinley Butson的发明灵感来自士兵的防护铠甲。故选D。 4.Which of the following best describes Macinley Butson? A. Stubborn. B. Creative. C. Selfless. D. Considerate. 答案与解析　B　推理判断题。文章讲述了当时只有16岁的Macinley Butson用铜制成了一种可穿戴的防护工具,使癌症患者在接受检查时能够减少受到不必要的辐射。现在Butson正在努力将她的发明投入到临床使用。因此B项(有创造力的)最能描述Macinley Butson。故选B。 阅读B　体裁:说明文　主题语境:健康的生活方式　难度:★★★☆☆ 　 　　Yoga is an ancient physical and spiritual practice originating in India. The word “yoga” comes from Sanskrit (梵文) and means to join or to unite, symbolizing the union of body and mind. Today it is practiced in various forms around the world and continues to grow in popularity. Recognizing its universal appeal, the United Nations declared 21 June as the International Day of Yoga in 2014 to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practicing yoga. Yoga is an invaluable gift from an ancient tradition. It’s not just about exercise but a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, nature and the world. There is no written record of who invented yoga. Yoga practitioners (从业者) passed down the principles to their students. The earliest written record of yoga is generally believed to have been written by Patanjali, an Indian master who lived somewhere between 2,000 and 2,500 years ago. Various yoga types give you various choices. Hatha yoga is the most widely practiced type and is excellent for beginners. It is gentle with slow and smooth movements. Kundalini yoga combines a singing session besides body and mental control. Bikram yoga is practiced in a heated room. It is to loosen muscles and to sweat to clean the body and remove symptoms of disease and pain. Ashtanga yoga is taught as a difficult workout where you move quickly from one gesture to another to build strength and patience. In recent years, the World Health Organization has urged countries to help their citizens reduce physical inactivity, which is among the top ten leading causes of death worldwide, and a key risk factor for non-communicable diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. Yoga is a proper exercise. It is known for its ability to ease stress and anxiety. It may also help reduce several risk factors for heart diseases and promote a better sleep. 　　【语篇解读】　本文讲述了瑜伽的起源、种类及做瑜伽运动的好处。世界卫生组织WHO敦促各国公民要加强运动,瑜伽是一个很好的选择。 5.Why did the United Nations set the International Day of Yoga? A. To promote the research into Sanskrit. B. To help people know more about India. C. To popularize yoga practice worldwide. D. To give a declaration on cultural diversity. 答案与解析　C　推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知,联合国认识到瑜伽对如此多的人们产生了吸引力,其在2014年宣布6月21日为国际瑜伽日,以提高全世界对练习瑜伽的诸多益处的认识。因此判断出,联合国设立国际瑜伽日是为了在全世界推广瑜伽练习。故选C。 6.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The principles of yoga. B. The history of yoga. C. The benefits of yoga. D. An Indian yoga master. 答案与解析　B　段落大意题。根据第二段可知,瑜伽是来自古老传统的宝贵礼物。它不仅是运动,还是发现自己与自然和世界的一体感的一种方式。关于谁发明的瑜伽并没有书面记录。瑜伽从业者将原理传给了学生。人们普遍认为,最早的关于瑜伽的书面记录是由居住在2000至2500年前的印度大师Patanjali撰写的。即第二段讲的是瑜伽的历史。故选B。 7.What will you choose if you’re looking for a challenging exercise? A. Hatha yoga. B. Kundalini yoga. C. Bikram yoga. D. Ashtanga yoga. 答案与解析　D　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知,Ashtanga瑜伽被认为是一项艰苦的锻炼,你可以从一种姿势快速移至另一种姿势,以增强力量和耐心。因此如果你正在寻找具有挑战性的锻炼,你可以选择 Ashtanga瑜伽。故选D。 8.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Physical inactivity causes deadly diseases. B. Yoga can help prevent communicable diseases. C. Little or no exercise puts people’s health at risk. D. Yoga can be a cure for many kinds of diseases. 答案与解析　C　推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知,近年来,世界卫生组织(WHO)敦促各国帮助公民减少运动的不足,而运动不足是全世界十大主要死因之一,也是导致非传染性疾病(如癌症和糖尿病)的关键风险因素。因此从最后一段我们可以推断出很少或不做运动会使人们的健康受到威胁。故选C。 完形填空　体裁:记叙文　主题语境:家庭生活　难度:★★★★☆ 　 　　When my grandmother, who had Alzheimer’s disease, went to live in the nurses’ station 5 years ago, I tried many things to keep her occupied.
