选修七 Unit 3 课下语篇提能练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Accommodation at University College Cork, Ireland Oncampus Accommodation UCC Campus accommodation is more than just a place to eat and sleep — it provides social, cultural and sporting shops and the chance to develop friendships that will last a lifetime.Our accommodation services are divided into our two areas of operation, one being the safe, modern accommodation for those studying during the academic year.The other one is the excellent summer accommodation for holiday or summer course visitors who are seeking what is a very special environment to stay in with every modern convenience but dipped in history and the atmosphere of one of Europe's oldest and most highly regarded universities.‎ Rental Housing This is where the student lives with a family and 1～5 other students and you get your breakfast, evening meal and light supper.Rates are available for both single and shared rooms, five days or sevenday board.Prices are set and no landlady can charge over this agreed rate.This is a very economical and safe accommodation option and particularly well suited to freshmen.Lists of landladies are available free from the Accommodation Office by post, fax and email.‎ Shared Student Housing Available rooms are advertised in the Accommodation Office throughout the year.Updated lists of them are provided daily.Lifetime friendship is easily developed here.‎ Living with a Landlord Usually this provides more mature students with a high standard of accommodation at reasonable rents, usually a little below the market price.Vacancies are advertised in the Accommodation Office throughout the year.‎ 语篇解读：本文主要介绍了供大学生选择的一些住宿信息。‎ ‎1．What is special about the environment of oncampus accommodation?‎ A．It benefits freshmen a lot during holidays.‎ B．It is the most highly regarded accommodation in Europe.‎ C．It helps develop a lifelong friendship between roommates.‎ D．It is a perfect mix of modern equipment and historical surroundings.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据Oncampus Accommodation部分中“modern accommodation for those studying during the academic year”以及“with every modern convenience but dipped in history and the atmosphere of one of Europe's oldest and most highly regarded universities”‎ 可知校内住宿的环境的特殊之处在于它是现代化设备和历史环境的完美混合，故选D。‎ ‎2．Which is recommended to firstyear students at their university?‎ A．Oncampus Accommodation.‎ B．Living with a Landlord.‎ C．Shared Student Housing.‎ D．Rental Housing.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据Rental Housing部分中“This is a very economical and safe accommodation option and particularly well suited to freshmen.”可知，对于大一新生来说，特别推荐Rental Housing，故选D。‎ ‎3．What do we know about the Accommodation Office?‎ A．It doesn't deal with rents for students.‎ B．It serves students and gets paid for what it does.‎ C．It provides information on the accommodation choices.‎ D．It is seen as a bridge between the university and students.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Available rooms are advertised in the Accommodation Office

different sounds to communicate and find their way.Belugas are also among the smallest kinds of whales.‎ More than 210 belugas, including 31 in the United States, live in aquariums (水族馆) around the world.The Georgia Aquarium has asked for permission to bring 18 more belugas into the US.The whales were caught off the coast of Russia.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is considering the aquarium's request thoroughly.A law called the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) says the animals can only be brought into the country and put on display if they are caught without being hurt and there is an educational reason for doing so.‎ Georgia Aquarium officials say the 18 belugas will help people learn more about the species and allow scientists to better understand how to protect it.The aquarium would also breed the whales so the US aquariums can continue to display them.“When we can study and observe，we gain a better understanding of their biology and diseases that affect them，and learn how to aid populations in their natural habitats，” says William Hurley, Georgia Aquarium's chief officer.“Much of this research would be impossible in the remote locations and extreme climates where the animals live.” The Georgia Aquarium would own the 18‎ ‎ belugas and would rent some to aquariums across the country.‎ Meanwhile，many scientists，including Lori Marino，a whale expert, feel strongly that the whales belong in the ocean, not in tanks.These scientists say the whales are being used for entertainment and not for education, and having them in aquariums is not necessary for the species to survive.Marino said，“Not only is it unfair to the belugas but there is no educational value in putting these whales on display.” ‎ 语篇解读：白鲸是一种生活在北极的聪明的动物，现在有210多头生活在人类世界的水族馆里，美国的一家水族馆请求再引进18头，引起了专家们的争论。‎ ‎4．What can we learn about belugas?‎ A．They live in the Atlantic Ocean.‎ B．They are highly thought of.‎ C．They are very smart whales.‎ D．They are the smallest in number.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Highly intelligent, these whales ... their way.”可得出答案。‎ ‎5．If the Georgia Aquarium's request is allowed, __________ .‎ A．there'll be 210 belugas in the world B．259 belugas in all will be kept in aquariums C．there will be 49 belugas kept in aquariums in the US D．18 belugas will be caught by Russians ‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“including

scientists have vastly improved their knowledge of natural history.However, a lot of information is still the subject of speculation, and scientists can still only make educated guesses at certain things.‎ One subject that they guess at is why some 400 million years ago, animals in the sea developed limbs that allowed them to move onto and live on land.‎ Recently, an idea that occurred to the US paleontologist (古生物学家) Alfred Romer a century ago became a hot topic once again.‎ Romer thought that tide pools might have led to fish gaining limbs.Sea animals would have been forced into these pools by strong tides.Then, they would have been made either to adapt to their new environment close to land or die.The fittest among them grew to accomplish the transition from sea to land.‎ Romer called these earliest fourfooted animals “tetrapods”．Science has always thought that this was a credible theory, but only recently has there been strong enough evidence to support it.‎ Hannah Byrne is an oceanographer (海洋学家) at Uppsala University in Sweden.She announced at the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Oregon, US, that by using computer software, her team had managed to link Romer's theory to places where fossil deposits of the earliest tetrapods were found.‎ According to the magazine Science, in 2014, Steven Balbus, a scientist at the University of Oxford in the UK, calculated that 400 million years ago, when the move from land to sea was achieved, tides were stronger than they are today.This is because the planet was 10 percent closer to the moon than it is now.‎ The creatures stranded in the pools would have been under the pressure of “survival of the fittest”， explained Mattias Green, an ocean scientist at the UK's Bangor University.As he told Science, “After a few days in these pools, you become food or you run out of food ...The fish that had large limbs had an advantage because they could flip (快速翻转) themselves back in the water.”‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章就“大约4亿年前，为什么海里的动物长出了可以使它们迁移到并生活在陆地上的四肢？”这一问题列出了不同的科学家提供的不同证据。‎ ‎8．Who first proposed the theory that fish might have gained limbs because of tidal pools?‎ A．Alfred Romer.　　　　　　 B．Charles Darwin.‎ C．Hannah Byrne. D．Steven Balbus.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据文章第三段及第四段第一句可知，最先提出潮水潭导致鱼类长出四肢这一观点的是美国的古生物学家Alfred Romer，故本题选A。‎ ‎9．Why were tides stronger 400 million years ago than they are today according to Steven Balbus?‎ A．There were larger oceans.‎ B．Earth was closer to the moon.‎ C．The moon gave off more energy.‎ D．Earth was under greater pressure.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第七段最后一句“This is because the planet was 10 percent closer to the moon than it is now.”可知，4亿年前，潮汐比现在更强劲，这是因为地球离月球比现在近了10%。本题答案为B。‎ ‎10．The underlined word “stranded” in the last paragraph probably means “________”．‎ A．found B．settled C．abandoned D．trapped 解析：选D　词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“After a few days in these pools, you become food or you run out of food”可知，“The creatures stranded in the pools would have been under the pressure of ‘survival of the fittest’”表示被困在潮水潭的生物将会受到“适者生存”的压力。第四段第三句也是信息提示。故本题答案为D。trap“使落入险境，使陷入困境”。‎ ‎11．What is the focus of the article?‎ A．The arguments over a scientific theory.‎ B．The proposal of a new scientific theory.‎ C．Some new evidence to support a previous theory.‎ D．A new discovery that questions a previous theory.‎ 解析：选C　主旨大意题。根据第三段可知，最近美国古生物学家Alfred Romer一个世纪前的想法再次成为一个热门话题。根据第二段可知，这个想法正是对“大约4亿年前，为什么海里的动物长出了可以使它们迁移到并生活在陆地上的四肢？”这一问题的思考，故这个问题是以前的问题，且文章给出了不同的科学家最近提供的不同证据。故选C。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 ‎(2019·四川省绵阳市诊断性考试)Stress is so common that many people choose to ignore it.But without right management, stress can be something much more serious.__1___ They allow you to continue living your life in a healthy, happy manner.‎ Breathe The stressrelief technique that pretty much everyone's heard of, the act of breathing nonetheless remains an important point as any when it comes to cooling down the angry blood that's raging (发怒) around your body.___2___‎ Write ‎__3___Scribble (涂写) your feelings onto a piece of paper.They don't even have to make sense.Just punch (按键) away at your computer on a daytoday basis for five or ten minutes, and you might be surprised at how light, and carefree you feel afterwards.‎ ‎__4___‎ Laughing allows us to take in a momentous supply of fresh oxygen from the air, stimulating (刺激) the muscles and providing our system with some healthy shock treatment that eases tension brought on by stress.Laughing is something we need to do everyday to stay healthy, and is a great way to keep the bad effects of stress at bay.‎ Sleep Sleep is absolutely essential for avoiding high stress levels.Everyone needs good amounts of rest, and by remaining glued (寸步不离) to a computer screen for the entire day without taking a break, your body will suffer the consequences, and stress will rise as a result.__5___‎ A．Cry B．Laugh C．Stress can build up in anyone.‎ D．Listed here are 4 ways to cope with stress.‎ E．Type away at your desk and channel your emotions into your harddrive.‎ F．Taking along, deep breath to calm yourself is medically proven to be beneficial.‎ G．Take frequent breaks away from the screen, get some sleep, and see your stress ease up.‎ 语篇解读：本文作者针对如何减压这一问题给出了自己的一些建议。‎ ‎1．选D　下文提到他们会让你继续以一种健康、快乐的方式生活，再结合下面几段列举的四种应对压力的方法可知，应选D。‎ ‎2．选F　根据小标题可知，本段主要介绍了呼吸减压法，F项中提到了深呼吸减压法，符合题意。‎ ‎3．选E　下文提到把自己的压力写在一张纸上，E项谈到在桌边把你的情绪打出来，符合题意。‎ ‎4．选B　根据下文可知，本段主要讲述的是大笑减压法，故选B项。‎ ‎5．选G　此段讲述的是睡眠减压法，同时还提到了坐在电脑前寸步不离会伤害身体，G项谈到远离电脑屏幕，好好睡觉让压力得以缓解，符合题意。‎
