Unit 4 Exploring literature Period 5 Extended reading(1) Ⅰ. 话题拓展阅读。 When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion, it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at, for, however far­fetched and unreasonable their principles may seem today, it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal. With regard to futurist poetry, however, the case is rather difficult, for whatever futurist poetry may be—even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be right—it can hardly be classed as literature. This, in brief, is what the futurist says: For a century, past conditions of life have been conditionally speeding up; till now we live in a world of noise, violence and speed. Consequently, our feelings, thoughts and emotions have undergone a corresponding change. This speeding up of life, says the futurist, requires a new form of expression. We must speed up our literature too, if we want to interpret modern stress. We must pour out a large stream of essential words, unhampered by stops, or qualifying adjectives, or finite verbs. Instead of describing sounds we must make up words that imitate them; we must use many sizes of type and different coloured inks on the same page, and shorten or lengthen words at will. Certainly their descriptions of battles are confused. But it is a little upsetting to read in the explanatory notes that a certain line describes a fight between a Turkish and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge off which they both fall into the river—and then to find that the line consists of the noise of their falling and the weights of the officers: “Pluff! Pluff! A hundred and eighty­five kilograms.” This, though it fulfills the laws and requirements of futurist poetry, can hardly be classed as literature. All the same, no thinking man can refuse to accept their first proposition that a great change in our emotional life calls for a change of expression. The whole question is really this: Have we essentially changed? 一、 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 (　　) 1.

Weight loss Can snacking help you drop a few pounds? Yes. A smart snack can prevent unhealthy over­eating that comes from extreme hunger. “Your body is talking to you—just listen，” said an expert. “So if you're starting to feel a bit hungry, don't wait.” __2__ Chips and cookies increase your blood sugar quickly, which leads to the sugar crash. Instead, try nuts and fruits. Overall health Snacking is a way to add a variety of nutrients(营养素) to your diet. You can't go wrong with a handful of mixed nuts, which can help your heart. __3__ Attention: the body can absorb only a limited amount of protein per meal, so distributing protein throughout the day via snacking can maximize protein intake. Mood and mental health If you've been unhappy with someone while hungry, you know food can influence your mood. __4__ Healthy snacking may also improve memory and cognitive(认知的) performance and help with mental health issues. If you wait too long to eat, your body will produce the stress hormone to remind you, which can lead to negative moods. There are different ways to rise to this whole snacking thing. Choose a healthy, filling option in a proper size, and the benefits don't stop at weight loss and improved health. __5__ When you snack mindfully, it's easier to take a deep breath, focus on exactly what you're eating at that moment, and enjoy the day around you too. A. To snack or not to snack? B. Is snacking healthy or not? C. But you can't grab hold of any old snack. D. Your general approach to life might be affected. E. If you must have a snack at night, try cottage cheese. F. Snacking on protein­rich foods helps give your body strength. G. Snacking helps you avoid it, resulting in fewer mood swings and better focus. 1.________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5.________ Ⅲ. 读后续写。 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Our Garfield became a mostly indoor cat. He used to wander outside but we discovered he had a terrible sense of direction, so now he has to stay inside. He does not enjoy being on the inside looking out, but it's safer for him so that's how it has to be. When Garfield isn't sleeping, he's either sitting on a windowsill(窗台) or sitting with his wet nose pressed against our glass door overlooking the deck(木质平台), like a prisoner behind bars. As he ages, he earns back his outside rights an hour per day because he shows us that he will stay close to the back deck. When we let him out last week, a thunderstorm arose out of nowhere. By the time we heard the crack of lightning and remembered Garfield was outside, we opened the door to see nothing but strong wind and heavy rain. My daughter Janette put on her rubber boots and raincoat to check around the house, but Garfield was nowhere to be found. The thunderstorm obviously had scared him into a run in the wrong direction. Who knew where he would end up? It took me forever to fall asleep that night. I prayed(祈祷) someone would protect him and help him find his way home. As I continued praying, I realized that in my daily prayers for my family, I rarely included Garfield. Now that he was gone, maybe forever, I realized what an important part of our family he was. I prayed for his safe return. My husband Peter was the first one up at 6：00 a.m. He checked the doorstep, but no Garfield was in sight. I saw my neighbor Heidi taking her dog out for a walk, and I asked her to please keep her eyes open for our cat. Janette and her three brothers all walked around the house that day looking like they had lost their best friend. Peter decided to look for Garfield around the neighborhood. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Peter and I drove around to search the neighborhood. _______________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was saying to myself “Never say never” when I heard something scratching the door at 10：00 p．m. _____________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ⅰ. 一、 1—4 BACD 二、 1. 本句是并列复合句。该句可以分为两个部分，for为分界词。在前半部分中，when引导时间状语从句，it是形式主语，真正的主语是to引导的不定式结构，动词不定式结构中又包含一个what引导的宾语从句；后半部分中however引导让步状语从句，it仍然是形式主语，that引导主语从句。 2. 本句为简单句。句子是主系表结构。 3. 本句为简单句。句子是主谓宾结构。 三、 1. 然而，对于未来主义诗歌，情况就很难说了，因为不管未来派诗歌是什么——即使承认未来派诗歌基于的理念可能正确——也很难将其划分为文学。 2. 因此，我们的感觉、思想和情绪都发生了相应的变化。 3. 未来主义者声称，这种加速的生活节奏需要一种新的表达方式。 4. 如果我们想诠释现代生活的压力，就必须加快文学发展的步伐。 Ⅱ. 1—5 ACFGD Ⅲ. One possible version： Peter_and_I_drove_around_to_search_the_neighborhood._We spotted a few cats but none were our gorgeous orange cat with his white chest and white face. I put up my lost­cat notice around the neighborhood, with a photo of my beautiful cat and our phone number. After another restless night and another empty doorstep in the morning, I thought sadly, “He's not an outdoor cat. He could not possibly survive two nights out there. We were never going to see him again.” I_was_saying_to_myself_“Never_say_never”_when_I_heard_something_scratching_the_door_at_10：00_p．m. I opened the door and found Garfield was right there! With excitement, I picked him up and shouted to the living room, “He is back! Garfield is back！” All of my family gathered around Garfield and me, greeting and comforting him. We all took turns holding him and fussing over him as the long­lost friend that he was. Garfield's still an indoor cat. He's such an important part of our family that we can't afford to lose him again. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
