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 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，甚至开始撰写一本关于键盘历史的书。 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 (2025·辽宁大连模拟)On a quiet afternoon，as the sunlight shone through the curtains and cast a warm glow on the attic(阁楼) floor，I started a journey through time.It was there，in the corner behind the old suitcase，that I made a fascinating discovery—a shoebox filled with old letters. These letters，tied together with a faded ribbon，were a collection of conversations between my grandmother and her friends from past time.The dusty smell of aged paper and ink filled the air，transporting me to a time when communication was a deliberate and heartfelt act. In an age where a simple text or email can convey our thoughts，these letters served as a deeply touching reminder of the depth and meaning that can be found in the written word.They were more than just messages; they were pieces of a life，snapshots of a time，and most importantly，they were a bridge between the past and the present，between my grandmother's generation and my own. With the letters safely back in their resting place，I made a quiet promise to myself—to pick up pen and paper more often，to write not just messages，but little pieces of history that future generations might one day cherish. In a world racing towards the future，it's the old letters that remind us to slow down，to appreciate the moment，and to write our own stories with care.And perhaps，one day，someone will find my letters and experience the same joy of discovery，the same sense of connection across the years.For now，the attic holds not just boxes of old letters but also the promise of stories yet to be told. 5．What does the author consider the letters to be? A．Simple messages from the past. B．Bridges between different generations. C．Outdated communication methods. D．Unimportant things of past time. 6．What personal resolution does the author make after reflecting on the letters? A．To clean the attic of unnecessary items. B.To digitize all family letters for preservation. C.To learn more about the history of the family. D.To write more frequently to maintain connections. 7．Which sentence may the author agree according to the passage? A．Every family has a story to tell. B．The pen is stronger than the sword. C．Old letters carry voices from the past. D．The hand that writes the history makes the history. 8．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．Treasure in Letters B．A Journey Through the Attic C．Digital Distraction D．The Power of Pen and Ink [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在阁楼上无意间发现了一盒存放已久的旧信件，这些信件提醒我们放慢脚步，珍惜当下，用心书写我们自己的故事。 5．B　[解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They were more than just messages; they were pieces of a life，snapshots of a time，and most importantly，they were a bridge between the past and the present，between my grandmother's generation and my own.”可知，作者认为信件是几代人之间的桥梁。故选B。 6．D　[解析]细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，作者决定多用笔记录以(与后代)保持联系。故选D。 7．C　[解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In a world racing towards the future，it's the old letters that remind us to slow down，to appreciate the moment，and to write our own stories with care.”可推知，作者认为旧信件承载着过去的声音。故选C。 8．A　[解析]标题概括题。通读全文可知，文章主要记述了作者在发现祖母的信件后，受其深刻意义的影响，立志通过书写与后代建立联系的故事，因此A项适合作为文章标题。故选A。 二、七选五阅读 (2025·重庆模拟) Unexpected Things About Archaeology(考古学) Archaeology is an amazing career.We get to explore and debate how life has been and can be lived，and we get to share this knowledge with people in a way which benefits society.If you don't know an archaeologist or haven't worked with one before，you might not know what they actually do or you might think we do things that we don't.1. Not all archaeology is underground. A lot of people think of archaeology as being buried in the ground，but any physical material can tell us about the past.2. In fact，there's a whole specialism of archaeology that involves recording historic buildings and creating drawings and reports about them. 3． You might think archaeologists are only interested in the most precious items，like coins，valuable jewellery or well­preserved objects.But often the most common items­like pottery，clay tobacco pipes，glass bottles or bricks­can tell them the most information.They help build a picture of people's lives.Sometimes，not finding an object we thought would be there tells us something about the people. Archaeologists don't use brushes very often. Many people think archaeologists spend all day brushing dirt off the items they find.They do sometimes use brushes to clean surfaces for clear photographs.But they mainly use tools like trowels，shovels or mattocks.A normal day involves a lot of heavy digging.4. Sometimes archaeologists work with very fragile items.For this they would normally use tools like a thin “leaf” trowel—but rarely a brush. Archaeologists can use technology to learn what is underground instead of digging. 5． Geophysical survey uses electric and magnets to find tiny differences in the earth and creates a map of potential archaeology underneath.Drones can also be used to take aerial photographs，where things like crop­marks can be clues to past human activity. Archaeology is a science，an art and a form of physical work.It's varied and can appeal to people with different interests and skills.It may take you on a journey you don't expect! A．Archaeology is for everybody. B．Archaeologists aren't only interested in gold. C.Archaeologists don't have to dig to learn about what is underground. D．So we pulled together a list of things you might not know about archaeology. E.This means above­ground remains，like buildings，are important forms of evidence. F.They also must work quickly as they're usually part of a wider construction project. G．Archaeologists get more information about the history of an area with every site they dig. [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了有关考古学的几个让人意外的事情。 1．D　[解析]根据上一句“If you don't know an archaeologist or haven't worked with one before，you might not know what they actually do or you might think we do things that we don't.”可知，人们不了解考古学和考古学家的具体工作，D选项“所以我们整理了一份关于考古学你可能不知道的事情清单”提出了具体的解决办法，承接上文，前后两句因果关系成立。故选D。 2．E　[解析]根据第二段副标题“Not all archaeology is underground.”和上一句“A lot of people think of archaeology as being buried in the ground，but any physical material can tell us about the past.”可知，E选项“这意味着地上的遗迹，比如建筑物，是重要的证据形式”进一步解释了任何实物材料都可以让我们了解历史，不只是埋在地下的东西，地上的遗迹也是考古的范围，与本段段落主题相呼应。故选E。 3．B　[解析]空处为第三段副标题。根据该段内容可知，第三段主要表达了考古学家不只是对贵重物品感兴趣，对其他常见物品也很重视，B选项“考古学家不仅仅对黄金感兴趣”与段落主题意思相符，是对该段的概括总结。故选B。 4．F　[解析]根据上文“But they mainly use tools like trowels，shovels or mattocks.A normal day involves a lot of heavy digging.”可知，F选项“他们还必须快速工作，因为他们的工作通常涉及范围更广的建筑项目”补充说明了考古学家每天不仅有大量繁重的挖掘工作，还需要快速完成这些工作，并指出了原因，符合语境。故选F。 5．C　[解析]根据第五段副标题“Archaeologists can use technology to learn what is underground instead of digging.”可知，C选项“考古学家不必通过挖掘来了解地下有什么”与其意思相符，结合下一句“Geophysical survey uses electric and magnets to find tiny differences in the earth and creates a map of potential archaeology under the earth.”具体说明了可以用技术来了解地下的情况，与C选项相衔接，呼应段落主题。故选C。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
