Unit 3 Amazing people 课时练1　2篇阅读＋1篇完形 阅读理解 A ‎(2020·巢湖重点中学联考)Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know exactly where she’s been during her worldwide vacation in a special way.‎ The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated(截肢) at the age of four. Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.‎ To spread that message, Gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe, but instead of simply using a geotag, she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.‎ Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking spectacular pictures in Athens and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest, all with the wellknown locations written on her artificial leg.‎ ‎“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalkboard，” Gallagher said. “My mum and grandmother weren’t too keen on the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.”‎ Gallagher said people often stare when she’s writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos, she receives only positive feedback. “My leg hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I’ve wanted to do，” she said. “I don’t know if it’s my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, but regardless, I’ve been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life.”‎ Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your 14‎ ‎ dreams. And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。Devon Gallagher在四岁时因患骨科疾病右腿被截肢，但是这并没有影响她对梦想的追求。她到世界各地旅行，将自己的旅行情况写在假肢上并拍照片发到社交媒体。她的故事告诉人们：不要让任何东西阻碍你追求梦想。‎ ‎1．What message did Gallagher want to spread in her special way?‎ A．She enjoys her travelling across the globe.‎ B．She suffers little from her leg amputation.‎ C．She looks on her misfortune as another form of blessing.‎ D．She has exactly fallen in love with posting photos online.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.”可知，虽然截肢在早期给Gallagher带来了挫折，但她现在认为这是对她过最好的生活的激励；并结合第三段可知，她想要传达的信息是她要将自己的不幸看作是另一种形式的幸运，故C项正确。‎ ‎2．What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A．The Continent. B．The pictures.‎ C．The leg. D．The locations.‎ B　解析：代词指代题。根据第四段第一句中的“Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam”可知，现在，她正在欧洲大陆各地拍摄照片，照片中她骑着自行车穿过阿姆斯特丹的运河。分析该句结构可知，该句为非限制性定语从句，先行词为pictures, which指代先行词，在从句中作主语，故B项正确。‎ ‎3．Gallagher can best be described as ________．‎ A．helpful and ambitious B．friendly and generous C．determined and creative D．independent and sensible C　解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，Devon Gallagher在四岁时因患骨科疾病右腿被截肢，但是这并没有影响她对梦想的追求；她到世界各地旅行，将自己的旅行情况写在假肢上并拍照片发到社交媒体。据此可推知，Devon Gallagher既有毅力又有创造力，‎ 14‎ 故C项正确。‎ ‎4．Which of the following might be the best title for the text?‎ A．Never Too Late to Share B．A Special Artificial Leg C．An Outstanding Photographer D．Gallagher’s Summer Holidays B　解析：标题归纳题。根据文章尾句“And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.”并结合全文其他内容可知，文章主要讲述了Devon Gallagher虽然被截肢，但是这并没有影响她对梦想的追求，她到世界各地旅行，将自己的旅行情况写在假肢上并拍照片发到社交媒体。故B项最适合作文章标题。‎ B ‎(2020·合肥第二次质检)‎ In today’s society, language plays a key role in defining gender(性别) by vocabulary, and also the nonverbal(非语言的) vocabulary. Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.‎ Many different studies show that men tend to talk much more than women. It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men. This is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are, and also have the ability to speak more clearly, precisely, and more quickly than men. In one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting, as opposed to the thirteenminute average it took men to describe it.‎ Men and women also tend to have a very different nonverbal way of communicating, which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say. Men’s body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women. Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them. Men avoid other people’s body space while ‎ 14‎ talking, and they also tend to sit back when talking. All of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom. Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation.‎ Women also make it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral. After learning about our styles of communicating with each other, I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating, what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language”？ The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost. The question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex, “I wonder if there’s something there？” would no longer exist.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇议论文，主要介绍了男性和女性因性别差异而导致在沟通方式上也有所不同的现象。‎ ‎5．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A．The differences between men’s and women’s languages.‎ B．The different speed of men’s and women’s speech.‎ C．The ability of men’s and women’s spoken language.‎ D．The nonverbal vocabulary of men and women.‎ B　解析：代词指代题。由This承接第二段中的“It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men.”可知，此处的This指代女性比男性说话快的现象，故选B。‎ ‎6．In what way do men and women differ according to the third paragraph?‎ A．Speed of understanding.‎ B．Understanding of speech roles.‎ C．Politeness of communication.‎ D．Application of body language.‎ D　解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的整体内容，尤其是该段第二句“Men’s body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women.”可推知，本段主要讲的是男性和女性在非语言表达方式上的不同，即肢体语言使用上的差异，故选D。‎ ‎7．What is the author’s attitude to the differences between men’s and women’s communication?‎ 14‎ A．Cautious. B．Favorable.‎ C．Ambiguous. D．Skeptical.‎ B　解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段第二句和第三句“After learning about our styles of communicating with each other, I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating, what fun would it be if we all spoke the same ‘language’？ The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost.”可推知，作者对男性和女性在沟通的差异性上持赞成态度，故选B。cautious“谨慎的”；favorable“赞成的”；ambiguous“模棱两可的”；skeptical“怀疑的”。‎ ‎8．What is the best title for the text?‎ A．Women, Born Excellent Talkers B．Men’s and Women’s Social Roles C．Vocabulary and Communication D．Opposite Gender, Different Language D　解析：标题归纳题。根据第一段的话题导入，并结合全文的整体内容可推知，本文主要讲的是男性和女性因性别差异而导致在沟通方式上也有所不同，故选D。‎ 完形填空 ‎(2020·贵阳普通高中监测)The happy new mother asked eagerly to see her baby.

The dominant hypothesis(假设) suggests that tough social interactions are the driving force. But our new study done in an unusual way shows that human brain expansion is likely driven by ecology(生态)．‎ Scientists have tested the ecological and social hypotheses before. The common approach is to look at many species and investigate whether large brains are associated with specific problems. For example, do primates or other animals with large brains have a diet that is challenging to find but nutritionally rewarding? This would indicate an ecological origin. Or do they live in large groups where they face lots of social problems?‎ While many studies have found such associations, there is a problem. It cannot tell whether large brains evolved to solve the difficult problems or whether they evolved for other reasons and then enabled their bearers to deal with the hard problems.‎ To find out the causes of brain expansion, we recreated the scenarios(可能出现的情况) of the two hypotheses using a mathematical model. We found that a combination of ecological and social challenges do produce the brain size we see in humans. But it was ecological challenges that expanded brains. In contrast to the dominant view and our own expectation, we found that social challenges contributed by decreasing brain size. But you need both factors to get the brain size we see today—if there were no social challenges our brains would have been even larger but likely poorly suited to social life. Bigger isn’t necessarily better.‎ 14‎ But many animals face hard ecological problems. Why don’t they all have large brains? We found that ecological problems only lead to humansized brains when individuals can keep learning hard skills as they grow. So our results and those of others’ suggest that hard ecology and the accumulation of cultural knowledge could act together to produce a humansized brain.‎ Will the human brain expand further? The complexity of the systems involved makes it impossible to say much with certainty at present.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。科学研究发现，人类大脑的大小是由生态环境和文化知识积累的共同作用决定的；大脑并非越大越好，如果大脑过大，则人类将无法适应社交活动。‎ ‎1．In most people’s view, what makes human evolve large brains?‎ A．Social challenges.‎ B．Social and ecological challenges.‎ C．Ecological challenges.‎ D．Competition with other large animals.‎ A　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“The dominant hypothesis(假设)suggests that tough social interactions are the driving force.”并结合第一段内容可知，大部分人认为棘手的社交活动是人类大脑进化的动力，故A项正确。‎ ‎2．What’s the problem of the common approach?‎ A．Its model is not reliable enough.‎ B．It doesn’t tell the cause and effect clearly.‎ C．Its hypothesis cannot be proved effectively.‎ D．It doesn’t find brain size is connected with problems.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“It cannot tell whether large brains evolved to solve the difficult problems or whether they evolved for other reasons and then enabled their bearers to deal with the hard problems.”可知，传统的研究方法无法解释清楚大脑进化的原因和影响，故B项正确。‎ ‎3．Why don’t many animals have large brains?‎ A．They don’t learn from each other.‎ B．They don’t face hard ecological problems.‎ 14‎ C．They don’t need to cooperate with each other.‎ D．They don’t keep learning tough skills as they grow.‎ D　解析：推理判断题。根据第五段第二、三句“Why don’t they all have large brains? We found that ecological problems only lead to humansized brains when individuals can keep learning hard skills as they grow.”可知，只有当个体在成长过程中不断学习艰难的技能时，生态环境才会影响人类特定大小的大脑。据此可推知，动物在成长过程中并没有持续学习艰难的技能，所以动物没有大的大脑，故D项正确。‎ ‎4．Which of the following do the researchers find most surprising?‎ A．Animals don’t have large brains.‎ B．Social challenges decrease brain size.‎ C．Ecological challenges increase brain size.‎ D．It’s unclear whether human brains will expand further.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第四句“In contrast to the dominant view and our own expectation, we found that social challenges contributed by decreasing brain size.”可知，与主流观点及我们自己的预期相反，我们发现社会挑战导致大脑变小。据此可知，社会挑战导致大脑变小是令人惊讶的发现，故B项正确。‎ 七选五 ‎(2020·昆明摸底调研)‎ How to Be a Good Listener to Your Family Communication is important for strong family relationships. 1.________ Working on your listening skills can help you communicate better and form stronger bonds.‎ Listen actively. When listening to a family member, do not let your mind wander to other things. It’s important to make your family member feel heard and valued. Put your phone away and give them your full attention. Never think about other things when someone is talking. 2.________‎ Repeat what has been said. Briefly summarizing what the speaker has said can go a long way towards effective communication. Everyone wants to feel valued and heard, so repeating a family member’s point can show you were listening. 3.________ It can really allow you and your family to communicate better as well.‎ ‎4．________ Interrupting can put breaks on effective conversation. Always allow ‎ 14‎ a few seconds of silence after someone finishes talking before offering your response. This allows you to make sure the speaker has finished talking. Do not talk over someone either. No matter how curious you feel about a subject, do not start talking until the other person has finished.‎ Avoid hurrying the speaker. 5.________ Do not break in before the speaker is finished just to hurry the speaker along. Never say things like “Can you get to the point？” This will make it seem like you’re not interested in the conversation.‎ A．Do not interrupt.‎ B．Never rush the person into talking.‎ C．Instead, focus on what’s being said.‎ D．People tend to pause when they speak.‎ E．It can help you make sure you understood the speaker.‎ F．When someone finishes talking, ask questions if necessary.‎ G．However, if you don’t truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文介绍了四个改善家庭成员间关系的倾听技巧。‎ ‎1．G　解析：空前一句突出交流对巩固家庭成员之间关系的重要性，空后一句是说使用倾听技巧可以帮助你更好地交流以及建立更密切的联系，故G项“然而，如果你不能真正地倾听他人，交流就会变得困难”从反面进一步强调倾听的重要性。‎ ‎2．C　解析：本段围绕“Listen actively.”展开，根据本段的内容及空前一句“当别人讲话时不要去想其他的事情”可知，C项“而要关注对方正在说的内容”符合语境。‎ ‎3．E　解析：本段紧扣“Repeat what has been said.”进行论证，空处与前一句构成递进关系，E选项中的“It”指代前一句中的“repeating a family member’s point”。‎ ‎4．A　解析：空处为段首句，根据段落特征可知，本句应为祈使句且为本段的主题句。空后一句讨论打断别人会中断有效的交流，由此可推知段首句应为不要打断(他人说话)。故A项符合语境。‎ ‎5．B　解析：本段主题是“避免催促说话人”。空处谈论的内容应与首句相关，B项中的“rush”与空前的“hurrying”同义，表示“催促”。故选B项。‎ 短文改错 14‎ ‎(2020·合肥第二次质检)Our school sports meeting finally came to end last Friday.
