It was a September day, and as usual, the halls of Pine High School were filled with excitement. Students of all grades were rushing around. But for one student, today was unlike any other day. Today was the first day of high school for a freshman, Jamie. Jamie had always been a bit of a shy kid, but she had always loved her studies. She was determined to make the most of her high school years, but she knew that it wouldn’t be easy. As she walked down the hallways, Jamie couldn’t help but feel worried. The older students seemed so confident, while she felt small and unimportant. But Jamie was determined to succeed, no matter what challenges came her way. It wasn’t long before Jamie’s determination was put to the test. In her first week of school, she was assigned (分派) a challenging project that required a lot of research and planning.

Frightened, I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been here for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would have a better education here, so I enrolled (登记) in the local high school in my new town. I was afraid of how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered, “Yes.” His voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector (投影仪). In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke. It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular (惯常的) process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “It’s still fourth period.” “But the bell just rang,” I said. Changing from a gentle tone to a harsh (刺耳的) one, she said, “That is the lunch bell, young man.” I apologized. Without another word I headed for the cafeteria (自助食堂). I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either. I saw my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t so bad. 1．Why did the author enroll in an American high school? A．Because his mother had worked in it for 3 years. B．Because his father thought little of Indian schools.

You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared(害怕)on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and evena new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school. Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention. You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend! Seeing friends you haven’t seen for some time can make the first day a good one. You can make the day special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers(运动鞋). It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll need. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning. 1．The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.

Then he continued telling me that senior school life was boring because I had to do a large amount of homework every day. The subjects were much more difficult than those of junior school. I stepped into the school gate with a nervous heart. However, I was surprised to find what I experienced there was completely different from what my brother had told me. The teachers gave excellent lessons in their own special way. They talked with me in a natural and fair way, as if I was an adult. All of them are so knowledgeable (学识渊博) and they not only explained the contents of textbooks but also provided extra information from other sources. Every word they said in classes made me so excited and interested that I had a strong desire to take in as much as I could. In fact, my playful days were not over at all in senior school. There were many kinds of activities I could take part in. For example, sports meetings, the art festival, English corner, outing and so on. Best of all, generally, students organized the activities rather than teachers. Through this process, I improved my leadership abilities and communication skills. I’ve become mature (成熟的). I am not a kid any more. Now if anyone asks me: “Through your process of growing up, which part is most impressive up till now?” Well, the answer will absolutely be my “senior high school life”. 1．How did the writer feel when he started his senior high school? A．Very sad. B．Much embarrassed. C．Quite relaxed. D．A little worried. 2．What was the writer’s general impression of his teachers? A．Strict and organized. B．Knowledgeable and easy-going. C．Modest and hardworking. D．Beautiful and kind-hearted. 3．What has the writer learned by joining in different after-class activities? A．Leadership and social skills. B．The understanding of textbooks. C．Reading and writing skills. D．Doing housework. 4．What can you learn from the last paragraph? A．His senior school life is the most memorable. B．Senior school life was boring and tiring. C．He will no longer believe in his brother. D．The writer did well in all his subjects. I knew my first day of high school would be challenging. There would be higher expectations and the teachers would be stricter. Would I fit in? Would I make friends? Would I have nice teachers? Would I look like an ugly duckling (丑小鸭) among my classmates? But my mum told me that I was great. Then I was hopeful about the new day. On Friday, one day before the first day of school at La Canada High School, the phone rang, sounding incredibly serious. The principal said that school would be delayed until Tuesday because of the fire in La Canada Flintridge. Disappointed as I was with the fire, strangely, I was also happy because I had several extra days of vacation. On Monday evening, I was preparing for my big day. My red backpack was filled with new notebooks. Then the phone rang. Again, the principal told me to stay at home. I could feel the anxiety growing inside of me. When was school going to start? I just wished that the first day of school would hurry up and come soon. Finally, it was Wednesday, the real first day of school. I walked past the school gate feeling nervous. Everything looked different. The middle school buildings looked so cute. I looked at my schedule. The first period was German. I took a deep breath as I opened the door to my first class. Class started and quickly I was fascinated by the teacher. He was a magician who had a superpower that kept me spellbound (着迷的). The other teachers were also so great. My first day slipped away quickly before could even realize it. In the evening, I recalled what had happened on my first day of high school. All in all, it was really amazing. I enjoyed all my teachers, classmates and classes. I was able to see my friends who I didn’t see all summer. But most importantly, I am now in high school.

Since the beginning of the 2024 school year in August, students in Broward County Public Schools have been banned from using cellphones during school hours, including during lunch and breaks, unless given special permission. This policy has caused widespread debate, especially as experts highlight the impact of social media and screen time on young people’s mental health. Studies have shown a link between social media abuse and increased rates of anxiety and depression among youth. However, a recent survey done by the school district, which included over 70,000 parents, showed that nearly one in five parents believe the cellphone ban is negatively affecting their children’s well-being while one seventh of them think there are no bad effects at all. One of the main concerns voiced by parents and students is the inability to communicate with family members, especially during emergencies. This is a significant worry in a district that is home to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the site of the 2018 mass shooting that claimed 17 lives. School officials have informed parents that students can still use their phones in emergency situations and that teachers have the flexibility to make phone accessible for other reasons as well. Many parents and experts argue that phones are not only essential for staying connected but also serve as valuable tools for accessing online lessons and completing assignments, especially for students who lack school-issued laplops. Broward County’s school officials have acknowledged the challenges of carrying out the policy effectively. Some teachers have found it difficult to monitor students’ phone use, and the policy has raised questions about how to balance the need for phone use with the goal of reducing distractions (分心). Landyn Spellberg, a student advisor to the school board, pointed out that phones can offer significant benefits. He emphasized that the district’s blanket ban is not solving a key issue: teaching students how to use technology in a healthy way. “We need to educate students about the negative effects of technology, not just forbid its use,” he said. 1．What is the policy of cellphone use in Broward County’s schools? A．The students at school can’t use cellphones at will. B．The teachers are responsible for students’ schoolwork. C．The schools ban students from using cellphones at any time. D．The parents are not allowed to buy their children’s cellphones. 2．How many parents think cellphone ban badly influences their kids’ well-being? A．70,000. B．50,000. C．14,000. D．10,000. 3．What can be concluded from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4? A．Some positive results are spoken highly of by schools. B．Some bad outcomes might happen for cellphone ban. C．Some teachers think it impossible to monitor cellphone use. D．Many parents and experts stress the use of cellphones for contact. 4．What will be probably discussed following the last paragraph? A．The application of cellphone ban to more areas. B．The explanation of negative effects of technology. C．The way to teach students to use cellphones wisely. D．The methods of keeping students away from cellphones. Students returning to college this fall are busy with the usual activities getting to know their professors or studying in the library. Compared with them, those at the University of Chicago(UChicago)lined up to borrow an original work of art from the school’s Smart Museum of Art. The program Art To Live With was begun nearly 70 years ago by an art collector in 1958. It was a big hit from the start with the collection growing to more than 500 pieces. Despite its popularity, in the late 1980s, the program went inactive. However, in 2017, the program recovered and was taken over by Smart Museum of Art. Students have about one week to look at the collection and identify their favorite’s. Some enthusiastic students will camp outside the museum for two or three days to ensure a good position in a line. On Sunday morning, the students return to collect their art, lining up outside the museum. Laurel Payne, who runs Art To Live With, advisers them on how to take the art out of the museum. All the pieces and supplies students need are wrapped, including instructions so they can hang the art without damaging it. Many students are not art history majors but are studying science or engineering. Museum director alloy thinks the program shows students that art can be a part of their college experience regardless of their academic focus. “It encouraged there to look closely at an art work, to learn more about it and to have a curiosity that then develops throughout their lives,” Malloy explains. Lauren Payne adds that students who participate in Art to Live With do become more involved in the museum. Some do internships (实习) and others help with selecting new works for the lending collection. The program’s potential effect is currently up in the air. Whatever the results, for now, students head home happily carrying an original art work to hang in their room. 1．What unusual experience did students at the University of Chicago have? A．They learned art from their professors. B．They could borrow original art works. C．They applied to work in Smart Museum. D．They lined to secure a place in the library. 2．What can we know about the program Art to Live With? A．It has actively run for decades. B．It regains popularity at present. C．Students choose works casually. D．Students are trained in art major. 3．What does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Obvious. B．Amazing. C．Uncertain. D．Powerful. 4．Which of the following can be the best title of the text? A．Art to Live with; bringing art to all students B．Smart Museum of Art; making libraries go smarter C．Original art works? College library helps check out D．Want a “Picasso”? UChicago students can borrow one 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 1 A New Start 单元话题阅读理解练习 Unit 1 A New Start单元话题：高中生活的起点 本资料共9篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度分为基础语篇巩固练和重难语篇提升练 基础语篇巩固练 At the middle school level, there are many academic clubs in which students can participate.

We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.(他给了我一张叫做“课程要求”的表格，我在印度永远也拿不到，因为我们没有这样的东西。然后他让我选择坐在哪里。其实我并不想选座位。在印度，我们的座位是固定的，所以我从来不需要担心这个问题。剩下的时间里，我都在根据投影仪产生的图像做笔记。在印度的学校里，我们没有使用这项技术。老师讲课时我们必须记笔记)”可知，美国高中和印度高中有很大差异。故选D项。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线单词句后的“…I had to get through to reach my goal.(我必须克服barrier以达到目标)”并结合上文讲述作者的遭遇可猜测，划线单词为“障碍，困难”的意思，与B项Difficulty“困难”意思一致。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I saw my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t so bad.(我看到我的公共汽车，高兴地坐在里面。我在想，今天还不错)”可知，作者觉得第一天还不错。因此他的态度是积极的。故选A项。 It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared(害怕)on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and evena new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school. Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention. You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend! Seeing friends you haven’t seen for some time can make the first day a good one. You can make the day special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers(运动鞋). It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll need. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning. 1．The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “________”. A．start B．study C．find D．teach 2．The last paragraph mainly tells us about ________. A．what to know about a new school B．how to prepare for a new school C．what to do on your first day of school D．how to spend your first day of school 3．According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of school except ________. A．introduce yourself B．learn about the school rules C．make new friends D．go over your new lessons 4．If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passage we know that you will feel ________. A．nervous B．lucky C．happy D．worried 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了新学期开始时的一些常见情况和建议，包括如何应对新的环境、如何与同学互动以及如何准备第一天的学校生活。 1．词义猜测题。根据第二段“Most teachers … the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year.(大多数老师通过自我介绍和谈论你们今年要做的所有事情来_____新学期。)”可知，此处是讲述新学期开始时老师们的做法，可推理出kick off表示“开始”含义，start表示“开始”含义，符合题意。故选A项。 2．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Seeing friends you haven’t seen for some time can make the first day a good one.(见到一段时间没见的朋友可以让开学第一天变得愉快)”可知见到一段时间没见的朋友可以让开学第一天变得愉快，再根据后文“You can make the day special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers(运动鞋). It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll need. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.(你可以穿你喜欢的衣服让这一天变得特别。也许你在度假时买了一件很棒的T恤，或者一双运动鞋。准备好所有你需要的东西也会让你感觉很好，比如铅笔、文件夹和其他你需要的东西。但是一定要在前一天晚上打包好，以防你早上没有时间)”可知此处讲的是为了让开学第一天这一天变得特别而做的准备，故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据第二段“Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not.(大多数老师通过自我介绍和谈论你们今年要做的所有事情来开始新学期。一些老师也会给学生一个机会向班上的其他同学介绍自己。当老师们在开学第一天讲话时，他们通常会复习课堂规则和校规，这样你就会知道什么可以做，什么不可以做)”可知，开学第一天，你可以介绍自己，了解学校规则，并未提到复习新课。故选D项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Seeing friends you haven’t seen for some time can make the first day a good one.(见到一段时间没见的朋友可以让开学第一天变得愉快)”可知，如果你在开学第一天遇到老朋友，你会很高兴。故选C项。 Student Leadership Programme The Student Leadership Programme aims to get more college students to participate in basketball, hockey, baseball and other physical activities.

Then he continued telling me that senior school life was boring because I had to do a large amount of homework every day. The subjects were much more difficult than those of junior school. I stepped into the school gate with a nervous heart. However, I was surprised to find what I experienced there was completely different from what my brother had told me. The teachers gave excellent lessons in their own special way. They talked with me in a natural and fair way, as if I was an adult. All of them are so knowledgeable (学识渊博) and they not only explained the contents of textbooks but also provided extra information from other sources. Every word they said in classes made me so excited and interested that I had a strong desire to take in as much as I could. In fact, my playful days were not over at all in senior school. There were many kinds of activities I could take part in. For example, sports meetings, the art festival, English corner, outing and so on. Best of all, generally, students organized the activities rather than teachers. Through this process, I improved my leadership abilities and communication skills. I’ve become mature (成熟的).

There would be higher expectations and the teachers would be stricter. Would I fit in? Would I make friends? Would I have nice teachers? Would I look like an ugly duckling (丑小鸭) among my classmates? But my mum told me that I was great. Then I was hopeful about the new day. On Friday, one day before the first day of school at La Canada High School, the phone rang, sounding incredibly serious. The principal said that school would be delayed until Tuesday because of the fire in La Canada Flintridge. Disappointed as I was with the fire, strangely, I was also happy because I had several extra days of vacation. On Monday evening, I was preparing for my big day. My red backpack was filled with new notebooks. Then the phone rang. Again, the principal told me to stay at home. I could feel the anxiety growing inside of me. When was school going to start? I just wished that the first day of school would hurry up and come soon. Finally, it was Wednesday, the real first day of school. I walked past the school gate feeling nervous. Everything looked different. The middle school buildings looked so cute. I looked at my schedule. The first period was German. I took a deep breath as I opened the door to my first class. Class started and quickly I was fascinated by the teacher. He was a magician who had a superpower that kept me spellbound (着迷的). The other teachers were also so great. My first day slipped away quickly before could even realize it. In the evening, I recalled what had happened on my first day of high school. All in all, it was really amazing.

Since the beginning of the 2024 school year in August, students in Broward County Public Schools have been banned from using cellphones during school hours, including during lunch and breaks, unless given special permission. This policy has caused widespread debate, especially as experts highlight the impact of social media and screen time on young people’s mental health. Studies have shown a link between social media abuse and increased rates of anxiety and depression among youth. However, a recent survey done by the school district, which included over 70,000 parents, showed that nearly one in five parents believe the cellphone ban is negatively affecting their children’s well-being while one seventh of them think there are no bad effects at all. One of the main concerns voiced by parents and students is the inability to communicate with family members, especially during emergencies. This is a significant worry in a district that is home to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the site of the 2018 mass shooting that claimed 17 lives. School officials have informed parents that students can still use their phones in emergency situations and that teachers have the flexibility to make phone accessible for other reasons as well. Many parents and experts argue that phones are not only essential for staying connected but also serve as valuable tools for accessing online lessons and completing assignments, especially for students who lack school-issued laplops. Broward County’s school officials have acknowledged the challenges of carrying out the policy effectively. Some teachers have found it difficult to monitor students’ phone use, and the policy has raised questions about how to balance the need for phone use with the goal of reducing distractions (分心). Landyn Spellberg, a student advisor to the school board, pointed out that phones can offer significant benefits. He emphasized that the district’s blanket ban is not solving a key issue: teaching students how to use technology in a healthy way. “We need to educate students about the negative effects of technology, not just forbid its use,” he said. 1．What is the policy of cellphone use in Broward County’s schools? A．The students at school can’t use cellphones at will. B．The teachers are responsible for students’ schoolwork. C．The schools ban students from using cellphones at any time. D．The parents are not allowed to buy their children’s cellphones. 2．How many parents think cellphone ban badly influences their kids’ well-being? A．70,000. B．50,000. C．14,000. D．10,000. 3．What can be concluded from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4? A．Some positive results are spoken highly of by schools. B．Some bad outcomes might happen for cellphone ban. C．Some teachers think it impossible to monitor cellphone use. D．Many parents and experts stress the use of cellphones for contact. 4．What will be probably discussed following the last paragraph? A．The application of cellphone ban to more areas. B．The explanation of negative effects of technology. C．The way to teach students to use cellphones wisely. D．The methods of keeping students away from cellphones. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了佛罗里达州布劳沃德县学校实施的手机禁令引发了学生和家长的强烈反对，同时介绍了该政策的具体内容、引发的争议以及不同群体的观点和看法。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Since the beginning of the 2024 school year in August, students in Broward County Public Schools have been banned from using cellphones during school hours, including during lunch and breaks, unless given special permission.(自2024年8月学年开始以来，布劳沃德县公立学校的学生被禁止在上课时间使用手机，包括午餐和休息时间，除非获得特别许可)”可知，布劳沃德县学校的手机使用政策是学生在校期间不能随意使用手机。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“a recent survey done by the school district, which included over 70,000 parents, showed that nearly one in five parents believe the cellphone ban is negatively affecting their children’s well-being(最近一项由学区进行的、包括7万多名家长在内的调查显示，近五分之一的家长认为手机禁令正在对他们的孩子的福祉产生负面影响)”可知，总共有70,000名家长参与调查，近五分之一的家长认为手机禁令对孩子的福祉产生了负面影响，即70,000乘以五分之一等于14,000。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“One of the main concerns voiced by parents and students is the inability to communicate with family members, especially during emergencies.(家长和学生表达的主要担忧之一是无法与家人沟通，尤其是在紧急情况下)”以及第四段“Many parents and experts argue that phones are not only essential for staying connected but also serve as valuable tools for accessing online lessons and completing assignments, especially for students who lack school-issued laptops.(许多家长和专家认为，手机不仅对于保持联系至关重要，而且也是获取在线课程和完成作业的有价值工具，特别是对于缺乏学校发放笔记本电脑的学生来说)”可知，手机禁令可能带来一些不良后果，如无法与家人紧急联系、影响学生获取在线课程和完成作业等。由此推知，从第三段和第四段可以得出手机禁令可能带来一些不良后果的结论。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Landyn Spellberg, a student advisor to the school board, pointed out that phones can offer significant benefits. He emphasized that the district’s blanket ban is not solving a key issue: teaching students how to use technology in a healthy way.(学校董事会的学生顾问兰丁·斯佩尔伯格指出，手机可以提供很大的好处。他强调，学区的全面禁令并没有解决一个关键问题：教育学生如何以健康的方式使用技术)”可知，文章最后提到了学校应该教育学生如何健康地使用手机，而不是简单地禁止其使用。由此推知，接下来可能会讨论如何教学生明智地使用手机的方法。故选C项。 Students returning to college this fall are busy with the usual activities getting to know their professors or studying in the library. Compared with them, those at the University of Chicago(UChicago)lined up to borrow an original work of art from the school’s Smart Museum of Art. The program Art To Live With was begun nearly 70 years ago by an art collector in 1958. It was a big hit from the start with the collection growing to more than 500 pieces. Despite its popularity, in the late 1980s, the program went inactive. However, in 2017, the program recovered and was taken over by Smart Museum of Art. Students have about one week to look at the collection and identify their favorite’s. Some enthusiastic students will camp outside the museum for two or three days to ensure a good position in a line. On Sunday morning, the students return to collect their art, lining up outside the museum. Laurel Payne, who runs Art To Live With, advisers them on how to take the art out of the museum. All the pieces and supplies students need are wrapped, including instructions so they can hang the art without damaging it. Many students are not art history majors but are studying science or engineering. Museum director alloy thinks the program shows students that art can be a part of their college experience regardless of their academic focus. “It encouraged there to look closely at an art work, to learn more about it and to have a curiosity that then develops throughout their lives,” Malloy explains. Lauren Payne adds that students who participate in Art to Live With do become more involved in the museum. Some do internships (实习) and others help with selecting new works for the lending collection. The program’s potential effect is currently up in the air. Whatever the results, for now, students head home happily carrying an original art work to hang in their room. 1．What unusual experience did students at the University of Chicago have? A．They learned art from their professors. B．They could borrow original art works. C．They applied to work in Smart Museum. D．They lined to secure a place in the library. 2．What can we know about the program Art to Live With? A．It has actively run for decades. B．It regains popularity at present. C．Students choose works casually. D．Students are trained in art major. 3．What does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Obvious. B．Amazing. C．Uncertain. D．Powerful. 4．Which of the following can be the best title of the text? A．Art to Live with; bringing art to all students B．Smart Museum of Art; making libraries go smarter C．Original art works? College library helps check out D．Want a “Picasso”? UChicago students can borrow one 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了芝加哥大学的一项特别项目——Art To Live With，该项目允许学生从学校的艺术博物馆借阅原创艺术品，将艺术融入他们的日常生活。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Compared with them, those at the University of Chicago (UChicago) lined up to borrow an original work of art from the school’s Smart Museum of Art.(与他们相比，芝加哥大学的学生们排队从学校的斯马特艺术博物馆借一件原创艺术作品)”可知，芝加哥大学学生能从学校的斯马特艺术博物馆借一件原创艺术作品，故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“However, in 2017, the program recovered and was taken over by Smart Museum of Art.(然而，在 2017 年，该项目恢复并由斯马特艺术博物馆接管)”以及第三段“Some enthusiastic students will camp outside the museum for two or three days to ensure a good position in a line. (一些热情的学生会在博物馆外露营两到三天，以确保在队伍中占据一个好位置)”可知，项目现在又重新受欢迎了，学生们积极参与排队借艺术作品，可推理出，目前它重新流行起来，故选B项。 3．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Some do internships (实习) and others help with selecting new works for the lending collection.
