Unit 4 Earthquakes(建议用时：30分钟) 阅读理解A(2019合肥高三质量检测)A seemingly small gesture at a restaurant outside Houston that wasnt part of the job description for a Waffle House waitress has now had a big effect on her life.It happened last weekend, when 18yearold Evoni Williams was serving an elderly man breakfast. He needed help. So Williams leaned over the table with a fork and a knife and cut up his ham for him. It might have ended there, but a customer named Laura Wolf was struck enough to take a picture and post it online.“I didnt know the photo was taken until a couple of hours later，” Williams told the Houston Chronicle. “When I saw it, its just something I would do for anybody. I was so busy in here, and I actually took the time to stop and hear what he had to say instead of walking past him”It apparently meant something to others too. As of Sunday, more than 130，000 people had reacted to the post and nearly 7，000 have shared it. But the story has extended beyond the Internet. Williams, a recent Texas City High School graduate, was honored at a ceremony, Thursday, with a $ 16，000 scholarship to Texas Southern University. Williams has reportedly been working fulltime at the Waffle House to earn money toward school. Texas Southern University has assigned a counselor to help her begin her degree and she is planning to study business management.Media at the local, national and international level have all picked up on the story. It is a moment among several in recent years, captured in a picture, put online, and capturing the attention of the Internet: like a New York City police officer giving a homeless man a pair of boots, or a restaurant goer whose wife died of cancer anonymously(匿名地) paying for the meal of another cancer patient.【解题导语】餐馆服务员Evoni Williams一次善意的行为被顾客Laura Wolf拍照并上传到网络，接着引起很多关注并由此得到了奖学金和学业上的帮助。1Why did Laura Wolf take the photo and post it online?AShe was really into recording some small gestures.BShe wanted to draw attention to the restaurant.CShe was touched by the considerate waitress.DShe got paid by the restaurant to do so.C解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“but a customer named Laura Wolf was struck enough to take a picture and post it online”可知，Laura Wolf拍照上传网上的原因是那位体贴的服务员的行为感动了她。故选C项。2What words can be used to best describe Evoni Williams?AIndependent and caring.BPatient and curious.CKind and generous.DEnergetic and lucky.A解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“When I saw it, its just something I would do for anybody.instead of walking past him”和第四段中的“Williams has reportedly been working fulltime at the Waffle House to earn money toward school”可推知，Evoni Williams是一个独立且关心他人的人。3Why is a New York City police officer mentioned in the last paragraph?ATo prove the power of the media.BTo advocate helping those in need.CTo show more people tend to use the Internet.DTo argue the Internet is the center of attention.A解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Media at the local, national and international level have all picked up on the story. It is a moment among several in recent years, captured in a picture, put online, and capturing the attention of the Internet”可知，此处意在强调媒体有巨大的作用，后面举的例子应是为了说明这一结论，故选A。4Which of the following can be the best title for the text?AWide Web, Colorful LifeBSmall Gesture, Big EffectCLittle Effort, Big RewardDYoung Mind, Great InfluenceB解析：标题归纳题。根据第一段及下文女服务员因一次小的善意之举而获得很多关注并得到大学奖学金和学业上的帮助可推知，这篇文章的主旨是“小举动，大影响”。故选B项。B(2019辽宁五校高三上学期模拟)“We all know that exercise is good for us, but can you get the benefits without actually doing the exercise？” asks Michael Mosley.Having a hot bath or a sauna is a good way to soothe your arms and legs after exercise, but what happens if you do it instead of exercise? Dr. Steve Faulkner of Loughborough University asked me to take part in an experiment comparing the relative benefits of having a long, hot bath versus an hour of hard cycling.For this study I join a group of volunteers who have all been fitted with monitors which continuously record blood sugar levels. Keeping your blood sugar level within the normal range is an important measure of your “metabolic” fitness.The first part of the experiment is very relaxing, consisting of having a long, hot bath. While I sit in the bath, which they keep at 40， Steve closely monitors my core temperature. Once it has risen and stayed there, I am allowed out.A couple of hours after my bath I have a light meal. Since we want to see how having a hot bath compares with exercise, we repeat the experiment.So whats the result?“One of the first things that we were looking at，” Steve says, “is the energy expenditure(消耗) while youre in the hot bath and what we found was an 80% increase in energy expenditure just as a result of sitting in the bath for the course of an hour”This is nothing like as many calories as cycling for an hour (which comes out at an average of 630 calories), but we do burn 140 calories, the equivalent of a brisk 30minute walk.【解题导语】实验发现，一个小时的热水浴虽然没有骑一个小时自行车所消耗的热量多，但其所消耗的热量相当于半个小时的快步走所消耗的热量。5What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2?AExerciseBStrengthen.CRelax.DBuild up.C解析：词义猜测题。结合该句内容和常识可知，在锻炼时，我们的腿和手臂肌肉比较紧张，洗热水澡或桑拿浴可以使这些部位的肌肉得到放松。故选C。6What is the purpose of the experiment?ATo compare energy expenditure of hot bath and cycling.BTo tell people how to lose weight.CTo show the benefit of hot bath.DTo encourage people to have a hot bath instead of cycling.A解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Dr. Steve Faulkner of Loughborough University asked me to take part in an experiment comparing the relative benefits of having a long, hot bath versus an hour of hard cycling”可知，做这个实验的目的是把洗热水澡和骑自行车的能量消耗的情况进行对比。故选A。7What does normal blood sugar level mean?AIt means you are healthy.BIt means your temperature is normal.CIt means you dont need exercise.DIt means your metabolic system is normal.D解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Keeping your blood sugar level within the normal range is an important measure of your metabolic fitness”可知，保持正常范围内的血糖水平是代谢健康的一个重要衡量标准。据此可知，正常的代谢系统与正常的血糖水平有关。故选D。8If you want to burn 600 calories, what can you do?AHave a hot bath for one hour.BCycle for one hour.CHave a brisk 60minute walk.DHave a brisk 30minute walk.B解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，如果要消耗600卡路里，应骑一个小时自行车。故选B。 七选五(2019石家庄重点中学高三摸底考试)As new car prices continue to climb, you can find reliable but cheap used cars for sale. Many are readily available online, but car lots and local auto auctions(拍卖) also provide excellent sources for inexpensive vehicles. Here are the tips.Search online1_.
