课时作业(十六) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A In 2007，Jamie Whitmore was considered as one of the most successful athletes in America. However，everything changed during a competition that seemed like many others she had conquered.As a professional athlete，Whitmore was used to suffering，but she never imagined the pain in her leg could be a deadly cancer. What doctors found during surgery shocked them all：Whitmore had Spindle Cell Sarcoma，a soft tissue tumor (肿瘤) that can start in the bone，and the tumor was wrapped around her nerve and touching several vital organs.They couldn't cut it out fearing to burst the tumor. When she heard the diagnosis for the first time，Whitmore said, “Time stood still，I couldn't breathe.They were talking about the treatment and I started crying as I didn't want to die.”Finally，the doctors enlisted the help of several specialists to remove the tumor.Whitmore developed sepsis (败血症) from the surgery and endured a two-month recovery.When she began to feel sick again，Whitmore was sure her cancer was back.Instead，doctors gave her unexpected news：She was pregnant with twins.“That was a whole other freak-out,_”Whitmore recalled. She has never met a challenge she couldn't overcome.Today，Whitmore is a mother of two sons and cancer-free.She is competing again，and has won a gold medal in the Paralympics (残奥会)，nine world titles，and has set two world records.She travels as a motivational speaker when she doesn't spend time with her sons.Whitmore has some words of advice for others with limitations: “Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do.Some doctors told me I would never ride anything.And yet I rode my mountain bike 104 miles climbing from 9,000 feet to 14,000 feet.People with two good legs have fallen short of that task! You just can't give up.” 【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文。文章讲述了Jamie Whitmore被认为是美国最成功的运动员之一。她曾患有致命的癌症，但她凭借强大的意志力战胜了病魔，后来Whitmore担任演讲者去激励那些身体有局限性的人不管面对什么样的处境都不能放弃。 1．How did Whitmore feel when knowing about her cancer? A．Sad and scared. B．Ashamed and regretful. C．Annoyed and frightened. D．Astonished and inspired. A　推理判断题。根据第四段中的When she heard the diagnosis for the first time，Whitmore said, “Time stood still，I couldn't breathe...I started crying as I didn't want to die.”可知，Whitmore第一次听到诊断时说： “时间停滞不前了，我无法呼吸……我不想死，我开始哭泣。”由此可知，在得知自己患癌时，她感到悲伤和恐惧。故选A。 2．What does the underlined word“freak-out”in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Something interesting. B．Something demanding. C．Something unusual. D．Something meaningful. C　词义猜测题。根据第四段中的When she began to feel sick again，Whitmore was sure her cancer was back.Instead，doctors gave her unexpected news：She was pregnant with twins.可知，当Whitmore再次感到不适时，她确定自己的癌症又复发了。而医生给了她一个出乎意料的消息：她怀了双胞胎。即这是Whitmore没有想到的，可猜测出freak-out指的是“不寻常的事情”。故选C。 3．What's the purpose of Whitmore's traveling as a speaker? A．To build up her character. B．To inspire those with limitations. C．To spend more time with her children. D．To earn more money in her spare time. B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的She travels as a motivational speaker when she doesn't spend time with her sons.Whitmore has some words of advice for others with limitations可知，当她不陪儿子时，她以激励人心的演讲者身份去旅行。Whitmore对有局限性的人提出了一些建议。即Whitmore担任演讲者的目的是激励那些身体有局限性的人。故选B。 B I was going to die in Antarctica.I was certain.An image of my frost-covered body，pale and lifeless，filled my mind as I glanced around.In all directions the empty wilderness of Antarctica stretched away from me，the only feature on the landscape being the division between snow and sky.I gazed sadly at my team.They were rapidly disappearing over the horizon. I was leading an expedition (探险队) attempting to reach the south pole.The team was made up of ordinary women from all around the world—from Jamaica，India，Singapore and Cyprus—many of whom had never seen snow，or spent a night in a tent before we set off.Our aim was to be the most international all-female team to reach the South Pole. As I watched，the rest of the team had marched on，unaware that I was not with them.By the time I realized that my sledge was firmly stuck，the team were already a long way ahead of me.I called out to Era，my teammate from Brunei，“Era！Stop! ” Getting no response I called again，but my shouts were carried away in the opposite direction by the wind.Seconds passed.Nothing.I was gradually being left alone，completely defenseless against the fatally low temperatures of Antarctica. My strength increased when I thought of a cold，lonely death.I pulled again my sledge，which moved a little.I removed the ice with my ski-pole and boot，desperately trying to break the sledge free.The sledge shot forward，knocking me off balance.I struggled to my feet and set off after the team. I caught up just as Reena，my teammate from India，looked behind her and noticed there was one person missing.She swung around on her skis in shock and spotted me in the near distance. As we continued，my panic slowly faded.For the rest of the day each of the team was glancing over their shoulder every few minutes.They were not going to risk losing me again. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了“我”带领一个国际女子探险队在南极探险，途中“我”的雪橇被雪卡住，以致掉队。后来“我”经过努力克服危机，赶上了队伍的故事。 4．What is special about the expedition team? A．They were all female. B．They were all professional. C．They made the longest expedition. D．They had been strictly trained. A　细节理解题。从第二段内容可知作者带领的探险队是由来自世界各地的普通女性组成的，因此A项正确。 5．What made the author get her sledge out of the ice? A．The shouts from her teammates. B．Her strong desire to live. C．The sudden change in wind direction. D．The natural beauty ahead. B　细节理解题。根据第五段第一句可知，想到冰冷孤独的死亡使作者力量大增，从而作者将雪橇从冰雪里拔了出来，因此可以说是强大的求生欲望解救了作者。 6．At last，each of the team members kept looking back to ________. A．avoid being attacked from behind B．make sure that none fell behind C．check the distance they had covered D．keep a record of the route they took B　细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，每个人不停地回头看是为了保证没有人掉队。 7．Which may be the best title of the passage? A．How to Survive in Antarctica B．A Mysterious Trip to the South Pole C．A Female Expedition D．Being Left Behind in the Snow D　标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了作者在一次南极探险中由于掉队而差点发生危险的经历。 Ⅱ.七选五 On any given day，many of us wrestle with our fears.We might be considering changing a job，telling someone we love them or wanting to speak up for what's right when we see injustice(不公正). __1__ Or it says that we don't have the ability to create the life or world we want to have.The cycle often plays out in the same way. So，what should we do? __2__ Instead，we can choose to accept fear as part of the process of change and practice courage.Though courage is often thought of as an inborn character，it's actually a practice that can be learned for dealing with difficulty. __3__ Here are two useful tips for dealing with fear and moving closer to courage. Listen without attachment.Many of us who are stuck in fear have an inner critic(批评家)，constantly telling us we'll fail.Sometimes we adopt approaches to removing it. __4__ However，if we can take time to listen to our inner critic without attachment—without the need to ignore or accept what it is saying—we're in a better position to learn from it. __5__ Creating courageous communities gives us the support to face challenges.Sometimes our stories get in our way，and we need people who are doing similar work to help us see where we're getting stuck or what we're truly good at. A．Fear shows up in the body. B．You'll be more likely to make the changes. C．In other words，courage can become a habit. D．Don't see fear as bad or try to remove it when it arises. E．But a voice within us pipes up saying that there's no point. F．While we can get temporary relief，they don't actually make the critic go away. G．Surround yourself with like—minded people who also honor the values of courage. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何获取勇气来战胜内心的恐惧。 1．E　根据空后“Or it says that we don't have the ability to create the life or world we want to have.”可知答案，其中的it即E项中的“a voice within us”． 2．D　根据空后的“Instead，we can choose to accept fear as part of the process of change and practice courage.”可知，作者不赞成“把恐惧看成不好的事情并在它一出现时就消灭它”的做法，并给出了“接受恐惧并锻炼胆量”的建议。 3．C　本空是对上一句“it's actually a practice that can be learned for dealing with difficulty”的进一步说明。 4．F　上一句指出，有时候我们采取一些策略来消灭它，但是作者认为这只是暂时的解脱，并不能真正地赶走这个批评家。 5．G　根据本段内容可知，作者给出的建议是：与同样珍视勇气的人在一起。本空后的句子中“courageous communities”即指G项中提到的“like-minded people who also honor the values of courage, ”故选G项。 Ⅲ.完形填空 A Love Note to My Mom When I was a little girl，I would often accompany you as you modeled for fashion photographers.It was years later that I finally understood what role __1__ played in your life.Little did I know you were saving every penny you earned to go to __2__ school.

When you said you were in law school，I was more puzzled.I didn't know Moms could be lawyers too.You smiled and said, “In life，you can do anything you want to do.” As young as I was，that statement __7__ ringing in my ears.I watched as you faced the __8__ of completing your studies，starting companies with Dad，while still being a model and a Mom of five kids.I was exhausted just watching you __9__.With your words of wisdom in my __10__ mind，I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream.My whole world __11__.I set out to live my life filled with __12__，seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements. Your words became my motto.I __13__ found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland) or one of the few women (chiefmedical reporters) in my field.I __14__ strength every time I said, “Yes，I'll try that.” Encouraged by your __15__，I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life's journey，less afraid to make mistakes，and eagerly meeting each challenge.You did it，and now I'm doing it.Sorry，got to run.So much to do，so many dreams to live. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者九岁时， 妈妈和她说了一句话：一生中，你可以做任何想做的事。虽然那时作者还小，但这句话一直萦绕在她耳边。妈妈的言行一直激励着她，伴她勇敢地渡过难关，从容面对各种挑战，实现她的人生梦想。 1．A.studying　　　　　 B．running C．shooting D．modeling D　考查动词词义辨析。句意：很多年之后我才明白当模特在你生活中起的作用。studying学习； running跑； shooting射击； modeling当模特。根据上文的as you modeled for fashion photographers可知，此处用“当模特“符合语境，model是原词复现，故选D项。 2．A.business B．law C．fashion D．medical B　考查名词词义辨析。句意：我不知道你把你挣的每一分钱都存起来去法律学校念书。business商务；law法律；fashion时尚；medical医学。根据下文的where you were buried ________ piles of law books可知，作者的妈妈要去学习法律，故选B项。 3．A.at B．to C．upon D．under D　考查介词词义辨析。句意：做完家庭作业后，我游逛到了餐厅，在那儿我看见你埋头于法律书堆里。 at在； to向，对于； upon在……上； under在什么下。根据bury可判断，此处用“在……下”符合逻辑，故选D项。 4．A.amused B．worried C．puzzled D．disappointed C　考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我很困惑。amused高兴的； worried担心的；puzzled困惑的；disappointed失望的。根据下文的When you said you were in law school，I was more puzzled.可知，此处用“困惑的“符合语境，puzzled是原词复现，故选C项。 5．A.what B．that C．which D．where A　考查连接词辨析。句意：为什么你在做我做的事情——背教科书，为了考试而学习？ what指代事物；that在宾语从句中无意义；which哪一个；where哪儿。分析句子可知，此处是宾语从句连接词，从句缺少宾语且指代事情，应用连接代词what，故选A项。 6．A.roles B．tests C．positions D．shows B　考查名词词义辨析。句意：为什么你在做我做的事情——背教科书，为了考试而学习？ roles角色； tests考试，测试；positions位置； shows表演。结合上下文可知，作者当时九岁，是一个学生，所以需要背书和为考试而学习，故选B项。 7．A.fell B．stopped C．kept D．beat C　考查动词词义辨析。句意：我小的时候，那句话一直萦绕在我耳边。 fell落下；stopped停止； kept保持，一直； beat敲打。根据下文的Your words became my motto.可推测，作者一直记得妈妈给她说的那句话“你可以做任何你想做的事”，故此处用“萦绕在耳边”符合语境，故选C项。 8．A.choices B．chances C．adversity D．challenges D　考查名词词义辨析。句意：我看着你面临着既要当模特又要当五个孩子的妈妈，同时要完成学习以及和爸爸一起开公司的挑战。 choices选择； chances机会； adversity逆境；challenges挑战。结合下文的completing your studies，starting companies with Dad，while still being a model and a Mom of five kids可知此处用“挑战”符合语境，且下文的and eagerly meeting each challenge也有暗示，challenge是原词复现，故选D项。 9．A.in danger B．in action C．in trouble D．in charge B　考查介词短语辨析。句意：光看着你忙碌就让我很累。 in danger在危险中； in action在运转中； in trouble在麻烦中； in charge管理。根据上文的completing your studies，starting companies with Dad，while still being a model and a Mom of five kids可知，作者的妈妈时时刻刻都在做事，一直都在运转、忙碌，故选B项。 10．A.selfish B．powerful C．youthful D．empty C　考查形容词词义辨析。句意：有你明智的话在我年轻的心灵里，我突然感到有无限的自由可以做梦。selfish自私的； powerful强大的；youthful年轻的；empty空的。根据上文的As young as I was，that statement ________ ringing in my ears.可知，此处用“年轻的”符合语境，young和youthful是同义复现，故选C项。 11．A.opened up B．closed down C．went by D．came back A　考查动词短语辨析。句意：我的整个世界都开阔了。opened up打开，展开；closed down关闭；went by经过；came back回来。根据下文的seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements可知，此处用“开阔/展开”符合语境，故选A项。 12．A.perseverance B．hardship C．harmony D．hope D　考查名词词义辨析。句意：我开始过充满希望的生活，看到了个人成就和职业成就的无限可能性。perseverance毅力；hardship困难；harmony和谐； hope希望。根据下文的seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements可知，此处用“希望”符合语境，故选D项。 13．A.constantly B．shortly C．fortunately D．nearly A　考查副词词义辨析。句意：我不断地发现我处于一个独特的位置，要么是马里兰州的第一位女医生，要么是我所在领域中为数不多的首席医学女发言人之一。constantly不断地； shortly立刻； fortunately幸运地；nearly几乎。结合上下文可知，此处是指作者明白了妈妈的话之后，开始不断看到她人生的奇迹，故选A项。 14．A.offered B．made C．acquired D．refused C　考查动词词义辨析。句意：每一次我说“是的，我要尝试”时我都会获得力量。offered提供；made制作；acquired获得；refused拒绝。结合句意可知，此处是指作者每次决定尝试某事时都会获得力量，故选C项。 15．A.description B．praise C．statement D．introduction C　考查名词词义辨析。句意：受到你的话的鼓励，我在生活的旅途中毅然前行，不害怕犯错，渴望迎接每一个挑战。description描述；praise表扬； statement话；introduction介绍。根据上文的that statement ________ ringing in my ears可知，此处用“statement”符合语境，statement是原词复现。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
