课时作业(十三) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A At the age of eight, Glenn Cunningham was severely injured in a fire.He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was taken to a nearby county hospital. From his bed, the semi-conscious(半昏迷的)little boy heard the doctor talking to his mother.The doctor told his mother that he would surely die—which was for the best, really—for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body. But somehow, to the amazement of the physician, he did survive.The mother was told that her son was bound to spend his lifetime in a wheelchair. But this brave little boy was determined that he would walk and even run.But unfortunately, from the waist down, Glenn had no motor ability.His thin, scarred legs just hung there, all but lifeless.Yet his courage that he would walk was as strong as ever. One sunny day his mother wheeled him out into the yard to get some fresh air.This day, instead of sitting there, he threw himself from the chair.Glenn made his way to the fence, dragging(在地上拖着移动) his legs behind him.Then, step by step, he began dragging himself along the fence, determined that he would walk.He started to do this every day until eventually he did develop the ability first to stand up, then to walk with help, then to walk by himself—and then amazingly—to run.Glenn began to run to school.He ran everywhere as fast as he could.Later in college, Glenn joined the track team where he received the nickname(绰号)“the Kansas Flyer”． 1938 witnessed this young man's another amazing achievement.This young man, who was not expected to survive, who would surely never walk, and who could never hope to run, ran a mile in 4 minutes and 4.4 seconds, the world's fastest indoor mile! His perseverance paid off. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。Glenn Cunningham八岁时由于火灾不幸下半身失去知觉，但他由缓慢移动双腿，到扶着篱笆练习走路、跑步，最终创造了世界最快室内一英里的纪录。 1．What did the doctor think of Glenn's injury? A．It would take a long time for him to fully recover. B．It would cost lots of money to cure him. C．He would be semi-conscious. D．He had little chance of surviving. D　细节理解题。 由第二段第二句中的The doctor told his mother that he would surely die可知医生认为Glenn不可能活下来，故D项正确。 2．Why did Glenn receive the nickname“the Kansas Flyer”？ A．Because he looked like“the Kansas Flyer”． B．Because he once acted as“the Kansas Flyer”． C．Because he could run very fast. D．Because he joined the track team. C　推理判断题。 第五段中的He ran everywhere as fast as he could...he received the nickname“the Kansas Flyer”．说明他利用一切可能的机会练习跑步并最终有资格加入大学田径队，故可推测他那时已经跑得很快并由此得到“the Kansas Flyer”的绰号，故选择C项。 3．What achievement did Glenn make in 1938? A．He survived. B．He developed the ability to walk. C．He began to run to school. D．He set a world record. D　细节理解题。 由最后一段第二句中的ran a mile in 4 minutes and 4.4 seconds, the world's fastest indoor mile可知他创造了世界最快室内一英里的纪录，故选择D项。 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．The power of determination B．The dream of championship C．The key to high performance D．The mistake of a doctor A　主旨大意题。 文章主要讲述Glenn Cunningham八岁时由于火灾下半身失去知觉，他从缓慢移动双腿、扶着篱笆尝试走路到后来练习跑步、创造世界纪录的经历。文章最后一句His perseverance paid off.(他的毅力带来了成功。)点题，故A项正确。 B Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her life was unhappy and that she was tired of struggling all the time. Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen.He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes, eggs and coffee beans in them.After 20 minutes, he took them out, putting the potatoes and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup. Turning to his daughter, he said，“Look closer, and touch the potatoes.”She did and noted that they were soft.He then asked her to take an egg and break it.After stripping off the shell, she observed the hard－boiled egg.Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee.Its good smell brought a smile to her face. “Father, what does this mean？”she asked.He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity—the boiling water.However, each one reacted differently. The strong and hard potatoes became soft and weak in the boiling water.The eggs were fragile， with thin outer shell protecting their liquid until they were put in the boiling water.Then the inside of the eggs became hard.However, the coffee beans were unique.After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.“Which one do you want to be like？”he asked.“When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond？” In life, challenges happen to us all，but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，文章讲述了一个父亲将土豆、鸡蛋、咖啡豆分别放在水中去煮，以此启发女儿思考如何应对人生逆境的故事，借此阐述身陷逆境时，人内心的反应至关重要这一深刻道理。 5．Why did the girl complain to her father? A．Because of her hard life. B．Because of her tiring job. C．Because of her father's busy work. D．Because of the food her father cooked. A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的complained to her father that her life was unhappy and that she was tired of struggling all the time可知女儿因生活不幸福、不容易而向父亲抱怨，故A项正确。 6．What can we infer from this story? A．The girl liked the coffee best. B．The father was good at cooking.. C．The girl didn't like the potatoes and eggs. D．Different people have different reactions to adversity. D　推理判断题。根据第四段第二句和第三句He then explained that the potatoes...each one reacted differently.并结合文章最后一段的内容可知故事旨在通过不同物质在开水中的不同反应告诉读者面对逆境时不同的人反应不同，故D项正确。 7．What does the underlined word“fragile”mean in the 5th paragraph? A．Thick.　　　　　 B．Easily broken. C．Strong. D．Hard. B　词义猜测题。画线词后面的with thin outer shell protecting their liquid until they were put in the boiling water意为“有着薄薄的外壳保护它们的液体直至它们被放入开水里”，由此并结合常识可推知画线单词意为“易碎的”，故B项正确。 8．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Father and daughter B．Adversity and a chef C．A chef and coffee beans D．Challenges and responses D　主旨大意题。D项意为“挑战与反应”。父亲通过不同物质在开水中的不同反应来启发女儿思考如何应对挑战，所以D项是最佳题目。 Ⅱ.七选五 Hope is the most powerful motivational force that helps people to overcome adversities. __1__,_you need a guiding force to keep you moving toward your goals.Hope keeps you on your feet and makes you much stronger. Hope is your strength and inner faith in the battle of your life. __2__,_you lose everything.You do hard work and make a great effort to succeed in life but fail.That makes you upset and depressed.You do not know what to do.At that time hope comes to your rescue and gives you encouragement. __3__. Hope increases the productivity, efficiency and creativity in people.A hopeful person who stays positive and enthusiastic can succeed in any field of his choice. __4__.The best service we can do to the mankind is giving hope to the hopeless. __5__ ? Yes, hope gives meaning to life as without hope there is no reason to live.Give hope to people and they will become more creative and more productive.Hope is vital to the life of every person.Besides, hope is necessary not only for life but also for living a healthy life.Hope is the best medicine that keeps away miserable tension, depression, high blood pressure and other health problems.I had two big heart attacks and while at the edge of death, I had hope that I would survive.And the hope of getting well kept me alive. A．A hopeless person is a failed person who can never succeed in life B．Have you ever lost hope and felt sorry for yourself C．Since you're full of hope for the future D．You try one more time and succeed E．In the ups and downs of life F．Is hope necessary for life G．If you lose hope 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文，主要阐述了希望对于人生的重要性，希望是使人在逆境中向着目标前进的驱动力。 1．E　本空后面是逗号，应该选择非完整句选项。E项In the ups and downs of life 是介词短语，意为“在人生的起伏波折中”，与空后的you need a guiding force to keep you moving toward your goals逻辑关系匹配，故E项正确。 2．G　本空后面是逗号，应该选择非完整句选项。G项If you lose hope(如果你失去希望)，与空后的you lose everything逻辑关系匹配，故G项正确。 3．D　空前句At that time hope comes to your rescue and gives you encouragement.意为“在那时希望会向你伸出援手，给你鼓励。”与D项You try one more time and succeed语意顺承，故D项正确。 4．A　空后句指出我们为人类能做的最好的服务就是给没有希望的人希望，由此可以判断之前分别讲了有希望的人和没希望的人。空前句指出有希望的人保持积极性和热情，他们能在他们所选择的任何领域成功。所以，与之对比，空处句子指出没有希望的人是失败者，他们永远不会在人生中获得成功。故A项正确。 5．F　本空后是问号，所以应该选择疑问句选项，F项Is hope necessary for life与空后句Yes, hope gives meaning to life as without hope there is no reason to live.逻辑吻合，故F项正确。 Ⅲ.完形填空 “A public-speaking competition will be held next Monday.Each student will give a two-minute speech，”Mr Taylor said. The idea of __1__ in front of the students made me __2__.On the bus home, I asked Tanya，“What will I give a speech about？” “I don't know.What can you __3__ for two minutes？”she said. “ __4__！”I said.“All I'll be able to __5__ is my shaky legs and voice！” For the whole __6__,_I felt nervous and worried.I even considered flying to Brazil for a holiday to avoid this speech.
