课时跟踪练(一) Warming Up & Reading Prereading.阅读理解AWhen Mrs. Delgado asked her daughter Sonia to bring blueberry muffins (松饼) to a sick neighbor, Sonia said sure. But when Sonia found out who the neighbor was, she was not so sure. The neighbors name was Mrs. Craverham, and kids in the neighborhood said she was the most unkind person who ever lived.Sonia walked up the path to Mrs. Craverhams. She did not like the idea of anyone being sick and alone, but what if the kids were right? A girl in Sonias science class said that Mrs. Craverham had poked (戳) her with a stick last Halloween. Sometimes there were loud noises heard coming from inside. And a boy in Sonias math class said Mrs. Craverham had hung him upside down and painted him yellow when he accidentally kicked a soccer ball into her yard. Torn between (左右为难) wanting to help someone in need and not wanting to come home a different color, Sonia decided to be brave.Finally Sonia knocked on the door. After a few moments, Mrs. Craverham answered the door and asked with impatience, “Who are you? What are you doing here？”Sonia said, “My mother heard you were ill. She cooked muffins for you.”Mrs. Craverham relaxed. “My, thats sweet. Im sorry if I seemed impolite, but young people sometimes dare each other to come to my door because they think Im going to do something to them. As soon as I answer the door, they run off and laugh loudly.”Suddenly, Sonia heard a loud cry. Mrs. Craverham laughed as Sonia jumped. “Oh, thats just Norbert, my parrot (鹦鹉). Hes watched too many violent movies like you, I think！”语篇解读：本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个小女孩给邻居送松饼的故事。1According to Paragraph 1, Sonia _.Aliked blueberry muffinsBwas afraid of Mrs. CraverhamCknew her sick neighbor very wellDwas the meanest kid in the neighborhood解析：选B细节理解题。由该段中的“she was not so sure”和“Mrs. Craverham . the most unkind person who ever lived”可知，当Sonia得知这位生病的邻居是Craverham太太时，她有些害怕了。2Why did Mrs. Craverham answer the door impatiently?AShe thought it was something unpleasant again.BShe was tired of meeting visitors.CShe hated to see Sonia again.DShe was terribly sick.解析：选A细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“young people sometimes dare each other . they run off and laugh loudly”可知，Craverham太太之所以不耐烦是因为她以为又是哪个孩子在搞恶作剧，故选A项。3What will Mrs. Craverham probably do next?APaint Sonia yellow.BGive her parrot to Sonia.CAccept Sonias offerings.DHang Sonia upside down.解析：选C推理判断题。由文中Craverham太太所说的“My, thats sweet”可知，Craverham太太接下来很可能接受Sonia送来的松饼，故选C项。BYesterday I cleared up my house and I mean really cleared up my house.The room that gave the most results was my husbands “office”. There I found: one rightfooted shoe, size 10 (he lost the other one somewhere), a set of Star Wars videos and two small china cats someone gave me last birthday.I collected these “finds” and took them downstairs and logged (登录) on to www.eB: the answer to all our rubbish.What is eBay? It aims to provide a global trading platform (平台) where almost anyone can trade almost anything.The idea came from Pierre Omidyar.Born in Paris, Omidyar moved to Washington when he was still a child.At High School he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tufts University in 1988, he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer.In his free time he started eBay as a kind of hobby, originally offering the service free by word of mouth.By 1996 there was so much traffic on the site that he had to upgrade (升级) and he began collecting fees.Joined by a friend, Peter Skoll, and in 1998 by his dynamic CEO, Meg Whitman, he has never looked back.Even in the great dotcom crashes of the late 1990s eBay went from strength to strength.It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping sites on the Internet.If you think about it, its a perfect Internet idea.All you have to do is take an ephoto, write a description, fill out a sales form and youre in business; the world is your market place.Some of the more bizarre goods up for offer have been a piece of French bread, partially eaten by Justin Timberlake, advertising space on a mans head, and a pair of used false teeth.One week later I am proud of having a clean and tidy home and 110 in cash.Someone even bought the shoe.语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章介绍了全球最大的国际贸易电子商务平台eBay。4.Why did the author log on to eBay?ATo sell some useless things.BTo buy shoes for her husband.CTo exchange things with other users.DTo search for things used at the office.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I collected these finds and took them downstairs and logged (登录) on to www.eB: the answer to all our rubbish.”可知，作者登录eBay网是为了卖掉家里没用的东西。5What can we infer from Paragraph 2 about eBay?AIt aims to provide a free service.BIt was the idea of a high school boy.CIt has become more and more successful.DIt faced a difficult situation in the late 1990s.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Even in the great dotcom crashes .one of the ten most visited online shopping sites on the Internet.”可知，eBay变得越来越成功。6The underlined word “bizarre” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “_”ApopularBunusualCvaluable Dunacceptable解析：选B词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的“a piece of French bread, partially eaten by Justin Timberlake, advertising space on a mans head, and a pair of used false teeth”可知，eBay上还会提供一些不寻常的东西，比如：贾斯汀吃剩下的一片面包、头上的广告位和一对用过的假牙。7What does the author think of eBay?AShe is satisfied with it.BShe is worried about it.CShe shows no interest in it.DShe thinks it wastes a lot of money.解析：选A推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I am proud of having a clean and tidy home and 110 in cash.Someone even bought the shoe”可知，作者对eBay很满意。CFor many kids, the Internet is at their fingertips. From computers to smartphones, a web of information is open to them. According to a new report from the Pew Research Center, about three out of four kids aged 12 to 13 connect the Internet using a mobile device (移动设备) from time to time. Many younger kids are online too.Julian Zeitlinger, 9, from New Jersey, uses his computer to watch videos and play games. To keep him safe online, his parents monitor (监测) his web use and discuss Internet safety with him. “I ask my parents if something is wrong，” Julian says.Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information. The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands. A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.Have you ever had to enter a parents email address when signing up for a website? That safety net is there because of the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information, such as a phone number or full name, without a parents permission (允许)This July, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created, in 1998 when there were no smartphones. “The nature of the way kids get online has changed，” FTC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said.When the changes take effect, COPPA will apply to (适用于) mobile devices and newer forms of advertising. It will expand what falls under “personal information” to include videos, photographs and services that give user location (位置)COPPA doesnt cover everything that can go wrong onilne. Thats why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online.“There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe，” says privacy expert Shai Samet. He runs kidSAFE, which checks whether a site meets kidSAFE standards and is safe. “Its important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it also can be dangerous if you are not careful，” he adds.语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章告诫人们应该注意上网安全。8Julians parents check his web use to make sure _.Ahe doesnt watch too many videosBhe doesnt play computer gamesChe stays safe on the InternetDhe controls his online time解析：选C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To keep him safe online, his parents monitor (监测) his web use”可知，Julian的父母监测他的上网情况是为了确保他的网络安全。9How does the author explain childrens unpleasant online experiences?ABy describing his own experiences.BBy presenting scientific research.CBy showing differences.DBy using examples.解析：选B写作手法题。根据第三段中的“A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.”可知，作者主要是通过引用研究结果来说明孩子们不愉快的上网经历。10People often hold the wrong idea that _.Aformal websites are always safeBthe Internet is becoming safer and saferCCOPPA can ensure their complete safetyDdaily checks prevent future online problems解析：选C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe”可知，人们认为遵循COPPA法案的网站可以确保他们上网的绝对安全，然而事实表明，这是错误的观念。11Whats the main purpose of the text?ATo ask parents to look out for their kids.BTo tell people to be careful online.CTo offer tips on online safety.DTo introduce an online law.解析：选B写作意图题。通读全文可知，由于上网的方式在发生改变，因此相应的确保上网安全的法案也要进行更新调整，特别是文章最后一句中的“it also can be dangerous if you are not careful”点明文章主旨，即：告诫人们在上网时应该小心谨慎。故B项符合题意。.阅读七选五Internships (实习) are similar to training young students in their chosen paths.
