角度一 创新语篇专练 Passage 1 One hot day, Mike arrived at Tom’s tea house after a long day of selling fruits. He was thirsty and tired, so Tom led him to a cool bench. Mike rested there, enjoying his tea and a moment of peace. Nearby, Ali, hungry and with only a dry piece of bread in his hand, passed the tea house and was drawn in by the smell of soup. He stood near the kettle, breathing in the rich smell of food. His stomach started to make noise as he named the ingredient he could smell. He then placed his dry bread above the kettle, letting the warm steam (蒸汽) soak (浸入) into it, making the bread taste much better. Tom saw him and angrily said that he had to pay for the steam that made his bread taste better. Ali refused, as he had no money. The two argued, each speaking louder, until they asked Mike for help. Mike, wise and calm, listened to both men and asked Tom, “_____________” Tom said the price was the same as a full bowl of soup. Mike then said he would pay for the steam that made Ali’s bread taste better. He counted out three coins, each worth a full bowl of soup, and let them fall onto the table. As the coins bounced away, Tom went to pick them up, but Mike grabbed them quickly, put them back in his bag, and said, “I’ve already paid for the steam” Then Mike smiled and explained, “Steam and sound are like brothers. They are both things you cannot see or touch, but they still affect what is around them. The steam rises from the kettle and makes the bread taste better, just as the sound of the coins falling fills the air and ‘pays’ for the steam.” 1. 创新考法· 事件排序Which of the following is the correct order of the events? ①Ali warms his bread using the steam. ②Mike arrives at Tom’s tea house to rest. ③Mike drops coins to “pay” for the steam. ④Tom requires payment for the steam from Ali.

My uncle took out a coin from his pocket and made it disappear! Everyone in the room couldn’t believe that. It was so interesting that I wanted to learn how he had done it. Since that day, I have wanted to become a magician. Soon, I learned many new tricks. The truth is that magic tricks are not really “magic”. Most magic plays tricks on your eyes. Some magicians just make people pay attention to something else. And some magic tricks just use simple science. Let me give you an example. It’ll be our little secret, OK? This magic is called the toothpick trick. You need a dish of water and some toothpicks. First, put some soap on the tip of a toothpick. Let the soap dry. This will be a “magic toothpick”. Then make a triangle (三角形) by using three other toothpicks on the surface of the water. Now you are ready to show your trick. When you put the tip of the “magic toothpick” into the water, the triangle will break into three parts. But this can only happen once. When people ask you how you do it, you can say, “It’s just magic.” But actually, it’s because the soap on the “magic toothpick” breaks the water’s surface. This makes the toothpicks move. Simple science! Now you can be a magician. Try this trick next time. Your family and friends will be amazed! 1. The writer became interested in magic tricks when ________. A. he was seven years old B. he learned the toothpick trick C. he celebrated his ninth birthday 2. 创新考法· 细节多选To do the toothpick trick, you need ________. ①soap ②salt ③paper ④a dish of water ⑤toothpicks A. ①③⑤ B. ①④⑤ C. ③④⑤ 3. 创新考法· 图片理解When you put the “magic toothpick” into the water, you will see ________. A. B. C. 4. We can know about the toothpick trick that ________. A. it uses simple science B. it cheats people’s eyes C. it can happen many times 5. 创新考法· 写作意图The writer of this passage wants to ________. A. explain scientific knowledge B. teach us how to learn science C. show us the secrets of magic tricks 【答案】1~5 ABBAC Passage 3 ①I have flown on four missions, spending more than 43 days in space and completing six spacewalks totaling 43 hours and 13 minutes. I’d like to share some of my findings about a subject: what it’s like to eat in space. ②People often ask me if Tang-a kind of orange drink mix—is still taken into space. Don’t laugh, but we astronauts still drink it. Dehydrating (脱水) food saves space, weight, and increases shelf life. Think of the kinds of foods you'd take on a hiking trip—foods that are small, light, and nutritious. Traveling through space follows the same requirements. ③Still, today’s space foods look a lot more like foods we’re used to eating every day. Foods like nuts or brownies can be taken on board as much as possible. Something like noodles would be specially prepared, then kept and packaged to prevent spoilage. In this way, we can always have fresh food to eat in space. ④We’ve found that tortillas (玉米粉圆饼) do better in space than bread. Any food that breaks into crumbs (碎屑) can cause all kinds of problems, such as blocking air filters (过滤器). ⑤The microgravity (失重状态) on the space station changes things in more ways than one. For one thing, there is no “up” or “down” in space. So you have to stick your food packets in place. Also, it changes how things taste. On Earth, most of your blood is usually below your heart. In space, you’re weightless, so the distribution (分布) of blood in your body changes and thus weakens your sense of taste. This happened to me on one mission, when we took maple sugar candy on board. I wasn’t able to taste it until the ninth day. ⑥Food can be a real pleasure in space. For astronauts, eating is about more than just getting calories or vitamins. Familiar foods and tastes can remind us of home and keep us feeling connected. 1. Which is true about space foods? A. Nuts or brownies cannot be taken into space. B. Tortillas are more delicious in space than bread. C. Dehydrating food is a good choice of space food. D. Orange drink mix like Tang can cause problems in space. 2. What does the underlined word “spoilage” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. the process of going bad B. the way of losing water C. the process of getting lighter D. the way of changing colors 3. What can we learn from Paragraph 5? A. In space, an astronaut's sense of taste can be improved a lot. B. The distribution of blood in the body changes an astronaut’s weight. C. More sugar should be added to the food to make it taste better in space. D. You may lose your sense of taste for some time in the weightless condition. 4. 创新考法· 文章结构What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】1~4 CADC Passage 4 As the fifth of seven children, I went to the same school as my three elder sisters and brothers. And each of us joined an old school tradition—the plant sale held in early May, just in time for Mother’s Day. In third grade, I finally took part in the plant sale. I wanted to surprise my mother, but I didn’t have any money. My eldest sister helped me after I told her my secret. At the sale, I carefully checked every plant until I picked the best geranium (天竺葵). Once I had secretly brought it home, I hid it on the upstairs neighbor’s porch with my sister. When Mother’s Day arrived, I was bursting with pride when I gave her that geranium. I remember how happy she was with my gift. The year I was fifteen, my younger sister reached third grade. In early May she secretly told me that she wanted to surprise our mother. Like what my elder sister did for me, I gave her some money and off she went. She arrived home full of nervous excitement, the geranium hidden in a bag under her sweater. “I looked at every plant,” she explained, “and I know I got the best one!” With a sweet sense of déjà vu (似曾相识), I helped my little sister hide that geranium on the neighbor’s porch. I was there when she gave my mother the geranium, and I watched them both bursting with pride and happiness. My mother noticed me watching, and she gave me a secret smile. With a tug at my heart, I smiled back. I had been wondering how my mother could pretend (假装) to be surprised at this gift from her sixth child, but as I watched her eyes light up with joy as she was given with that most valuable gift, I knew she was not pretending. 1. What is the old school tradition? A. Hiding a gift. B. Growing some plants. C. Having a plant sale. D.

They work hard every day, with reading, doing homework, watching television and playing sports. A report by Eye Health UK says eyesight can even influence how you feel: 76% of people with poor eyesight in the survey said it had influenced their mental health. Eyes have been called “windows to the soul”. For example, when you’re happy, your eyes might look big and shiny. When you’re down, they might look dark and sad. By this way, they help humans understand and connect with other people. According to scientists, the eyes work by seeing light and then helping the brain turn this light into images. Eyes are even busy when we sleep. Dr. Cheri Wiggs, who studies health, says that every night you go through a stage of sleep called rapid eye movement (REM), which is usually when you dream. Even if your eyelids are closed, your eyes are moving about, darting back and forth and up and down, Wiggs says. Just like the rest of your body, ▲ . When this happens, they can feel sore and dry, and your vision can get blurry (模糊的), especially when you don’t get enough sleep, read in a dim light or spend too long looking at a screen. To care for your eyes, the National Eye Institute (NEI) suggests starting with a balanced diet. Doctors suggest eating a rainbow every day, with as many coloured fruits and vegetables as possible. If you spend a long time staring at a screen, take breaks every 20 minutes to give your eyes a rest, and don’t forget to blink. It’s important to have regular check-ups, too. If you feel like you squint (眯眼) a lot, or have trouble seeing things at school, then tell your parents, carer or teacher. 1. Why are eyes called “windows to the soul” from the text? A. Because they can reflect our dreams. B. Because they can influence our study. C. Because they can show our feelings. D. Because they can help us see the word clearly. 2. 创新考法· 句子还原Which can be the best to fill in the blank ▲ in Paragraph 2?

The development of eye protection research. B. The importance of eyes in our daily life. C. The problems when using eyes too much. D. The advice NEI offers for keeping eyes healthy. 4. 创新考法· 写作对象Whom is the text written for? A. Parents. B. Students. C. Doctors. D. Teachers. 【答案】1~4 CADB Passage 6 Have you heard that many of the migrating (迁徙) animals are in danger? A report has found that one fifth of the world’s migrating animals are at risk of dying out. They often move from place to place because they might be looking for food, better weather, or a friend. This includes big animals like whales and elephants, and small animals like turtles, fish, and birds. The report was by the United Nations (UN), a group of 193 countries that work together on problems facing people. The recent report looked at the health of these protected animals and found that the number of them is getting smaller, and some of them are at risk of disappearing forever. Migrating animals face many dangers, because they often move from one place to another. For example, more than 1.5 million wildebeest (a wild African animal) travel through Tanzania and Kenya to follow the rain each year, crossing rivers where hungry Nile crocodiles (鳄鱼) live. However, the biggest danger to migrating animals is people, such as hunting, fishing and building things that destroy their homes. It’s hard to protect migrating animals because of how far they travel. Monarch butterflies travel 3,000 miles every autumn from north-eastern North America to Mexico. But the report suggests that countries create safe areas of land to help animals. It also suggests that governments do more to fix climate (气候) change, as well as noise, light and plastic pollution. The report showed projects that have helped migrating animals. In the South Atlantic Ocean, rules that stopped the hunting of humpback whales (座头鲸) helped make their numbers go from 450 in the 1950s to more than 25,000 today. Inger Andersen from the UN Environment Programme said, “There is hope. Humans can still do even more to protect migrating animals.” 1. What percent of migrating animals in the world are in danger? A. 10%. B. 20%. C. 50%. D. 75%. 2. What is the biggest danger to migrating animals according to the text? A. Moving from place to place. B. Natural enemies. C. Human activities. D. Climate change. 3. 创新考法· 写作手法How does the writer describe the advantages of the project in the last paragraph? A. By telling stories. B. By asking questions. C. By explaining reasons. D. By listing numbers. 4. 创新考法· 写作意图What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce some kinds of migrating animals. B. To call on people to protect migrating animals. C. To show the importance of migrating animals. D. To ask for advice on protecting migrating animals. 【答案】1~4 BCDB Passage 7 ①AI kitchens are just welcomed in restaurants and other businesses. Over time, they are likely to come into the home market, changing how we live and eat. So it’s important to look ahead at the possible changes AI kitchens will bring. ②Undoubtedly, AI kitchens will bring great benefits. It can take over boring tasks, for example, peeling potatoes, letting people focus on creating new dishes. With AI kitchens, busy families will gain free time to spend together or finish important work. What’s more, it can help people eat more healthily, cutting down on sugar or salt. ③However, traditional way of cooking is more than just making food. It helps us feel grateful and connected. When parents and kids cook together, they share stories and learn from each other. Without this, mealtimes might be less meaningful and children will also miss out on learning science and math through cooking, for instance, measuring the ingredients (食材). ④While AI can help a lot, there are risks to culture. If robots only use popular ingredients, unique(独特的) local dishes may disappear. Also, AI kitchens may quietly erase the joy of sharing home-cooked meals with neighbors. ⑤What worries us most is that these smart machines sometimes are not so smart. We’re not sure if they can find out the food that has gone bad to avoid accidents. What if a robot serves rotten fruit because it can’t smell? Who would be responsible if a robot makes someone sick or gets hacked? These questions are as unclear as with self-driving cars. ⑥The kitchen is a special place in homes, neighborhoods and cultures. We should use robots wisely — having them do boring and challenging jobs rather than allowing them to take the lead. This way, we can enjoy progress without losing the traditional cultures. 1. 创新考法·细节多选What are the advantages of AI kitchens according to the passage? ①They can help people cook faster. ②They provide healthier ways of cooking. ③They allow busy families to have free time. ④They can do boring tasks such as peeling potatoes.

AI kitchens will create more special dishes. B. AI kitchens shouldn’t take the lead in cooking. C. AI kitchens can avoid cooking with rotten food. D.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the pyramids. They’re much bigger in real life than in pictures! Our guide Ahmed told us stories about how they were built thousands of years ago. The best part was when we were on a small sailboat at sunset and ate delicious Egyptian food with a local family. They taught us how to make pita bread, which was really fun and tasty! After Egypt, we went to Norway. This place was like something from a fairy tale! The train ride through the mountains was so beautiful, with waterfalls everywhere. At the Viking village, we put up dressing up clothes and tried throwing snow balls, which made us all laugh. Our last stop was Indonesia, which was my favorite. We stayed on a wooden boat and went swimming every day. The fish were so colorful! One day we saw a big group of fish swimming right below us. They looked like underwater birds. At night, an artist taught us how to paint the sunset over the ocean. ▲ I learned that history can be exciting when you see it in person. I also learned how important it is to protect nature.

And here’s another one that troubles a lot or us: getting blocked (堵住的) ears. It’s also sometimes called “airplane ear”. But why do we get it? It happens because of changes in air pressure. When a plane takes off and moves higher, the air pressure outside our ears goes down quickly because the air is thinner at higher places. However, there is still air from ground level inside our ears. This air is thicker and at a higher pressure. So there is a difference in pressure between the air inside our ears and outside our ears. Air pressure changes can make the air in our ears push on the eardrum (耳膜). This happens because air moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure ones. The pressure makes our ears feel blocked. When the air comes out, our ears “pop” and feel normal again. So how to deal with it? Drinking water, swallowing (吞咽) or eating hard sweets can help to clear our ears. The air inside our ears is in the eustachian tube (咽鼓管), which connects the middle ear to the back of the nose and throat. Swallowing helps encourage this tube to open a little wider, which helps let out the air inside our ears. However, swallowing don’t always work. Our ears sometimes stay blocked for longer, which may hurt. If your ears take a really long time to clear even when you get off the plane, you may need to see a doctor. 1. What causes the feeling of blocked ears during a flight? A. The loud sound from the airplane. B. Air pressure changes around the ears. C. Too much water drunk before flying. D. The low temperature inside the airplane. 2. 创新考法· 事件排序What is the correct order of how airplane ear happens? a. The eardrum is pushed by the higher-pressure air inside the ear. b. The air pressure outside the ear drops as the plane climbs. c. The ears feel blocked until the air inside is let out. d. There is a difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the ear. A. b→d→a→c B. b→d→c→a C. a→c→b→d D. a→c→d→b 3. Why does swallowing help unblock ears? A. It helps cool down the eardrum faster. B. It helps raise the air pressure in the ears. C. It helps lower the noise inside the airplane. D. It helps open the eustachian tube to let out the air. 4. 创新考法· 写作意图What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To advise people to avoid taking planes B. To introduce the structure of the human ears. C. To list problems people may have when flying. D. To explain the causes and solutions of airplane ear. 【答案】1~4 BADD Passage 10 ①We make decisions every day, from simple choices like what to eat for lunch to important ones like which high school to enter. But sometimes it can be hard to make the correct decision. What barriers (障碍) are preventing us from reaching better results? ②For some people, making decisions is difficult. According to Alice Boyes, a writer for Harvard Business Review, this difficulty can be related to perfectionism. Perfectionists try to find the best solution to every problem and are unable to move forward when they can’t find one. There are also other obstacles when making decisions. For example, they set unrealistic expectations, expect the worst result and don’t accept uncertainty. ③According to Professor Susan Krauss from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, US, people often make poor decisions because they depend on personal biases (偏见) rather than the background in which things happen. Different biases influence our decisions in different ways. For instance, having a self-serving bias means making decisions that make us feel good about ourselves, even if they might not be the best decisions for anyone else. Authority (权威) bias happens when we trust someone just because they are an authority person, even if others might have better ideas. ④For perfectionists, it is important to set realistic expectations. Uncertainty is normal when making difficult choices. We can’t predict the future and many situations do not have a single correct decision. All we can do is to make the most suitable choice with the information we have at the time. ⑤For people who find themselves making decisions with bias, the most important thing is to realize that they have biases in the first place. To do this, we can analyze (分析) our performance by looking at past decisions and outcomes (结果). Asking for feedback (反馈) from others also helps. Collecting new views on our decision-making abilities can help us realize personal biases and prevent them from influencing future decisions. 1. What does the underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. advantages B. chances C. methods D. difficulties 2. 创新考法· 写作手法How does the writer show the influence of different biases in Paragraph 3? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By showing opinions. 3. What can we do to overcome barriers when making decisions? A. Collect others’ opinions on our decision-making abilities. B. Set unrealistic expectations and accept the uncertainty. C. Use the information we have to make the single correct decision. D. Analyze our performance by looking at present decisions and outcomes. 4. 创新考法· 文章结构Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? A. B. C.
