课时作业(十四) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A When Allen invited me to a camping trip to the mountains，I imagined us in a cosy cabin overlooking a lake, with a warm fireplace，hot cocoa and soft beds.But my happy imagination became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipment—tents，sleeping bags and water bottles.We were going on survival training! The ever－efficient Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry.Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening. At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules.Then, with Leo in the lead, we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountain. After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top.My legs aching, I dropped my pack and groaned(呻吟) but there was no time to rest.“We need to set up camp quickly，”said Leo，“There are dark clouds coming in.A storm is on its way.” I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious.He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and pretended to help, thunder rumbling in the distance.We just finished putting up the tent when it hit.The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless. Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures.But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped.“Don't worry.Summer storms pass quickly，”said Leo, trying to comfort me.“And at least the rain will keep the bears away，”he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting. And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent.The view was incredible—I could see for miles.As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of glowing stars in the night sky. I won't lie—I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文，作者本来以为要和朋友一起去舒适的别墅木屋喝热可可、睡暖床，结果却被拉去经历一次野外生存训练。本文以第一人称细腻地讲述了这段经历和作者的思想变化。 1．Why was the author surprised when Allen came to get him at the beginning of the story? A．Allen had arrived earlier than arranged. B．He saw that Allen was not well prepared. C．He realized their trip would be challenging. D．Allen's brother was unexpectedly with him. C　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句中But my happy imagination became a nightmare和第一段最后一句We were going on survival training！可知作者因为将要进行一次具有挑战性的生存训练而不是去舒适的木屋而感到惊讶，故选C项。 2．Why was it necessary to set up camp immediately after reaching the mountain top? A．It was almost night time. B．The weather was changing. C．They were tired and needed to rest. D．They needed protection from animals. B　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“We need to set up camp quickly，”said Leo.“There are dark clouds coming in.A storm is on its way.”可知必须马上搭建营地是因为变天了，天即将下雨，所以B项正确。 3．What can we guess about Leo? A．He was an experienced and capable hiker. B．He was inconsiderate of others' feelings. C．He had known the writer for a long time. D．He had not been to this mountain before. A　推理判断题。第三段第一句中的Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules表明Leo远足经验丰富，第五段第二句中的He and Allen worked expertly表明Leo能力非常强，故可推断A项正确。 4．How did the author feel at the end of the story? A．Bitter.　　　　　 B．Optimistic. C．Scared. D．Satisfied. B　推理判断题。最后一段作者的心理活动表明作者虽然仍然想念热可可和柔软的床，但内心已感到这将是永远难忘的一次历险，故可推断作者不再那么排斥艰苦的生存训练，开始感受到其中的乐趣，所以B项正确。 B Oxford and Cambridge have now decided to remove the words CAN'T and IMPOSSIBLE from their dictionary.Jessica Cox, born in 1983, in Arizona, is the world's first licensed armless pilot. The girl from Tucson, Arizona got the Sport Pilot certificate finally and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.Jessica Cox was born without arms, but that has only stopped her from doing one thing: using the word“can't”． Cox graduated from the University of Arizona in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in psychology and a minor in communications.Cox has not used prosthetic arms since she turned 14.Using her feet as most people use their hands, she is able, among other things, to drive an unmodified car with an unrestricted license，to type on a keyboard at 25 words per minute, and to put in and remove her contact lenses. Jessica Cox flew in a single engine airplane for the first time via Wright Flight in 2005.Cox earned her pilot's certificate on October 10, 2008 after three years of training and is qualified to fly a light－sport aircraft to altitude of 10,000 feet. “She's a good pilot.She's rock solid，”said Parrish Traweek, 42, the flying instructor at San Manuel's Ray Blair Airport.Parrish Traweek runs PC Aircraft Maintenance and Flight Services and has trained many pilots, some of whom didn't come close to Cox's abilities. Doctors never learned why she was born without arms, but she figured out early that she didn't want to use prosthetic devices.So, the next time you are ready to tell yourself“I can't possibly...”， remember this amazing young woman and change your vocabulary. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了自幼失去双臂的Cox获得了飞行员执照。从而向人们证明残疾人和普通人一样，有能力实现自己的目标。 5．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．Oxford and Cambridge felt a little disappointed. B．No armless people had got a pilot certificate before. C．Jessica Cox wasn't allowed to use the word“can't”． D．The word“can't”would disappear from the English dictionary. B　推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“The girl from Tucson，Arizona got the Sport Pilot certificate finally and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.”可知，以前没有无臂的人获得过飞行员证书。 6．What do you think of Jessica Cox? A．She is a clever and brave girl. B．She is positive and determined. C．She is indeed a poorly educated girl. D．She only takes interest in aircraft. B　推理判断题。根据第二段和第四段中的“Cox earned her pilot's certificate on October 10,2008 after three years of training and is qualified to fly a light－sport aircraft to altitude of 10,000 feet.”可知，她是坚定和积极的。 7．What does the underlined word“prosthetic”mean in Paragraph 3? A．Artificial. B．Damaged. C．Unusual. D．Abnormal. A　词义猜测题。根据第三段第二、三句可知，Jessica Cox从14岁起就没有使用过假臂。她能用脚完成大多数人用手完成的任务，她可以驾驶汽车，每分钟打出25个字，并把她的隐形眼镜戴上或取出。由画线词下文内容可知画线词的意思是“假的”。 8．What did Jessica Cox do after graduating from university? A．She suffered failure when searching for jobs. B．She made a start to take training to become a pilot. C．She decided to use her feet as most people use hands. D．She tried her best to take care of herself in her daily life. B　细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Cox graduated from the University of Arizona in 2005...”和第四段中的“Cox earned her pilot's certificate on October 10,2008 after three years of training...”可知，从大学毕业后，Jessica Cox开始接受培训，成为一名飞行员。 Ⅱ.七选五 Everyone is aware that taking good care of our bodies can prevent many medical problems from occurring later.However, we often have less awareness of preventative action we should take to help with mental health problems.While our mental health may be fine right now, many of us will struggle at some point. __1__ It's impossible to get through life without challenges，but our preventative measures can help us get through difficult times. __2__ Keep active.The more active you physically, mentally and socially are, the higher the level of your mental wellness is likely to be.So go for walks and learn something new.There are many other ways to be active. __3__ Be connected.Regular involvement in social activities with supportive friends and family improves your ability to handle disappointments and everything else life throws at you. __4__ But you can be involved in any manner; even volunteering for an organisation can help you be more social. __5__ The nature of these activities varies widely from person to person.The key is to identify what gives your life meaning.Volunteering, coaching, teaching, etc., all can contribute to increasing your sense of confidence and satisfaction with life.Many activities can address more than one.The key is to make a plan and stick with it.If you are already struggling, begin to practise these ways to help your recovery.
