UNIT 8　限时规范练(A) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Rachel Hore's fascinating novels move between the past and the present.Her latest The House on Bellevue Gardens is set in London now and in the early 1960s. Best­selling author Rachel Hore's previous novels include The Glass Painter's Daughter，which was shortlisted(入围) for the 2010 Romantic Novel of the Year award，and A Gathering Storm，which was shortlisted for the 2012 Historical Novel of the Year award. Here，she shares three books that made an impact on her life. Orlando by Virginia Woolf Reading Orlando for the first time in my late teens gave me a wonderful sense of freedom and the possibilities that a life full of books can offer.Forever young，Orlando possesses “the strength of a man and a woman's grace”． He lives through four centuries and has many disguises; sometimes he even changes his gender. It was an excellent literary work through history that excited and inspired me. Flight Behaviour by Barbara Kingsolver I've read many of Barbara Kingsolver's novels，including her well­known The Poisonwood Bible，admiring how easily she writes about the power and beauty of the natural world，of which humanity is a dependent part. I particularly love Flight Behaviour because she engages the reader easily with an ambitious subject for fiction—climate change. Her story makes us all care about what we are doing to our world. The Hawk in the Rain by Ted Hughes We were given The Thought Fox to read at school and I was so deeply impressed with its central image of the fox in the snow that I spent that week's money on the book it appears in.I read and re­read it and was amazed! I loved the writer's technique of description，as well as the energy，the violence and the sensuousness(敏感) of those poems. Everyone should have their “discovery of poetry” moment，and mine was Ted Hughes. 1．Which of the following books was shortlisted for the 2012 Historical Novel of the Year award? A．The House on Bellevue Gardens. B．The Glass Painter's Daughter. C．A Gathering Storm. D．Flight Behaviour. 2．Which book did Rachel Hore read when she was in her late teens? A．Flight Behaviour. B．Orlando. C．The Poisonwood Bible. D．The Hawk in the Rain. 3．For what does Rachel Hore admire Barbara Kingsolver? A.The topic of her novel. B．How she writes about the power and beauty of the natural world. C．How her novels excite and inspire readers. D．Her technique of description. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了对畅销书作家Rachel Hore的人生产生影响的三本书，以及Rachel Hore对这三本书的阅读体会。 1．C　[解析]细节理解题。根据第二段可知，畅销书作家Rachel Hore之前的小说包括入围2010年度浪漫小说奖的The Glass Painter's Daughter，以及入围2012年度历史小说奖的A Gathering Storm。由此可知，A Gathering Storm获得2012年度历史小说奖的提名。故选C。 2．B　[解析]细节理解题。根据Orlando部分中的“Reading Orlando for the first time in my late teens gave me a wonderful sense of freedom and the possibilities that a life full of books can offer.(十几岁时第一次读到《奥兰多》，让我感受到了自由的美好，也感受到了充满书香的生活所能带来的可能性。)”可知，Rachel Hore在十几岁的时候读过《奥兰多》这本书。故选B。 3．B　[解析]细节理解题。根据Flight Behaviour部分中的“I've read many of Barbara Kingsolver's novels，including her well­known The Poisonwood Bible，admiring how easily she writes about the power and beauty of the natural world，of which humanity is a dependent part.(我读过Barbara Kingsolver的很多小说，包括她著名的《毒木圣经》，很欣赏她如此轻松地描写了自然界的力量和美丽，而人类是大自然的一部分。)”可知，Rachel Hore因为Barbara Kingsolver描写自然世界的力量和美丽的方式而崇拜她。故选B。 B Most kids can walk into a library or bookstore and find hundreds of books to read.But it's not that simple for kids who are blind.They read in a different way.Jenny Lee and other braille(盲文) transcribers take the printed words of a book and change them into a code of raised dots.Blind people can read these dots with their fingers.To know what braille feels like，take a ballpoint pen and press hard onto a piece of paper.Now turn the paper over and touch the raised dot made by the pen point. When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet，she wondered if she'd ever be able to read and write them easily.She took a class and practised hard for about six months before she passed the final exam：she had to convert 35 pages of a book into braille.Today，Lee works for a publisher.One of her jobs is to change children's books into braille. To do this，Lee first types the story into a computer and then uses a computer programme to translate it into the braille code.Next，she looks over the translation several times to make sure it's mistake­free.After that，a copy of the braille story is printed with a special printer.Then Lee and a proofreader work together to find and correct any mistakes.When a book is ready，many copies of it are printed.Afterwards，some are sold through websites and others are sent to libraries. Sometimes，going over a story again and again gets tiring.That's when Lee takes a break.Several of Jenny Lee's co­workers，who are blind，use guide dogs.When the animals aren't working，Lee likes spending a few minutes with them.To her，playing with dogs “is always a pick­me­up in the middle of the day”． “I love this mission，”Lee says.“Through my brain power and my fingers，I am putting the dots into some kids' hands.” 4．How does the writer explain what braille feels like? A．By explaining what braille words look like. B．By describing how blind people read books. C.By asking readers to experience it themselves. D．By giving examples of different braille words. 5．What was Lee's first reaction to braille? A．She was excited to get a new skill. B．She was amazed at the clever idea. C．She realised she could teach it herself. D．She believed it would be difficult to learn. 6．What does the underlined word “pick­me­up”in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A．A discussion to release work stress. B．Something to improve one's appetite. C．Something to help restore one's energy. D．A free ride accompanied with a guide dog. 7．What does Lee think of her job? A．Profitable and hopeful. B．Tiring but meaningful. C．Relaxing and helpful. D．Boring but challenging. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Jenny Lee和其他盲文转录员使用电脑程序将书上的文字转换为盲文的经历。 4．C　[解析]细节理解题。根据第一段中的“To know what braille feels like ...made by the pen point.”可知，作者通过让读者亲身感受的方式来解释盲文是什么感觉。故选C。 5．D　[解析]推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet，she wondered if she'd ever be able to read and write them easily.”可推知，Lee对盲文的第一反应是觉得很难学会。故选D。 6．C　[解析]词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的“Sometimes，going over a story again and again gets tiring.That's when Lee takes a break.”以及“When the animals aren't working，Lee likes spending a few minutes with them.”可推知，对Lee来说，和狗一起玩一直是中午时段能令人放松的时刻。由此可知，画线词意为“可以帮助恢复精力的东西”。故选C。 7．B　[解析]推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Sometimes，going over a story again and again gets tiring.”以及最后一段中的“Through my brain power and my fingers，I am putting the dots into some kids' hands.”可推知，Lee认为她的工作有时会让人疲倦，但是很有意义。故选B。 Ⅱ.完形填空 I love studying history，travelling to new places and seeing the beautiful sights，immersing(使沉浸) myself into the local __1__． I was looking forward to a(n)__2__ adventure in Suzhou before setting off.A long history __3__ the city's current success，a history I most eagerly __4__ through visual fragments(碎片) and its surviving culture.

And why does he have his own fruit？” Surprisingly，“jackfruit” isn't a person's name at all.The fruit's name originally comes from the southern Indian word chakka pazham，with India thought to be the fruit's place of origin.Portuguese explorers who journeyed to this region went on to call it jack，which leads us to the current English name of jackfruit，according to National Public Radio(NPR).Unfortunately，no one called Jack has been proven to be involved at any point in this process. There is another food，however，that was directly named after a person—the sandwich.In the 18th century，playing card games late into the night became fashionable in British high society.John Montagu，the 4th Earl of Sandwich，started the habit of ordering pieces of cold beef between two pieces of bread in order to get a late­night snack without having to leave the gaming table or use a knife and fork. This newly­created snack kept hands clean so card players could continue on without dirtying their cards.The midnight snack quickly became popular among everyday people，and before long everyone was making their own sandwiches.That is how the sandwich was invented and got its name. Away from the world of food，there are more examples of names inspired by people.Long johns，the warm trousers that keep us warm in winter，are said to have been named after the US boxer John L．Sullivan who took to wearing a similar type of garment in the ring(圆形场地). There are many other interesting etymologies(词源) in the English language like these.So the next time you find an interesting name，why not explore its history too? 1．What does the underlined word “overwhelmed” in the first paragraph probably mean? A．Puzzled. B．Excited. C．Worried. D．Annoyed. 2．Where does the jack fruit's name come from? A．A place in India. B．An Indian word. C．A Portuguese explorer. D．A discoverer of the fruit. 3．What do we know about the sandwich according to the text? A．It was named after a popular card game. B．It was once eaten as a snack in the daytime. C．It was first popular among the UK's middle class. D．It was created for the convenience of playing cards. 4．What is the author's purpose in writing this article? A．To raise readers' interest in etymology. B．To introduce things named after people. C．To stress the importance of learning history. D．To explain the effects of people's names on food. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英语中一些单词的起源以及背后的故事。 1．A　[解析]词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“Who is Jack?

O'Connor says people may know that birds are little dinosaurs.But they might not connect that fact to the birds they see.One purpose of her book，she said，is to achieve it.O'Connor also wants people to see birds as she does—as fascinating flying dinosaurs. In her book，O'Connor also talks about the larger idea of science—namely the importance of making mistakes.Each mistake，she said，leads us closer to the truth.“Science is essentially a series of mistakes.And every mistake，you know，informs us a little bit more and gives us a little bit more information.But pretty much everything that we think is ‘truth’ right now is probably at least partly wrong.You know，there is so much we don't know.But mistakes are part of the process.” O'Connor is a Chinese­Irish American who grew up in Pasadena，California.She did not always want to study the remains of ancient living things.She began studying geology，like her mother.“But in my case，my mother went back to school to do her PhD when I was around 10 years old.And so，she had four kids ... So，she would take us with her to the laboratory，but also into the field，which means going out to collect samples.So，I fell in love with geology.” However，O'Connor had a larger goal in mind when she wrote her book.She said，“Through having greater respect for the living animals around us，I hope that people start to think more about how they impact the environment through their actions，so that we can all move towards a more sustainable future.” 5．Which is one of the goals of O'Connor's book according to Paragraph 2?
