课时作业（四）

I.阅读理解

【语篇解读】本文介绍了美国黑人歌唱家玛丽安•安德生如何凭着自身实力和勤奋战

胜了种族歧视，获得了事业上的成功。

1.答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据第一段"Unabletoattendmusicschool,she

beganhercareerasasingerforreligiousactivities.可知在1917年到1929年之

间Anderson为宗教活动唱歌。选B。

2.答案与解析：A推理判断题。由第二段“ThefamousconductorToscaninipraised

hervoiceas*heardonlyonceinahundredyears'."可知Toscanini说她的嗓音是

百年难得一见的，所以是稀少的，故选A。

3.答案与解析：C细节理解题。由第一段倒数第二、三句"...shewentto

Europe...praisedthroughoutEurope.M可知她的美妙的声音一开始是在欧洲被认可的。选

C,

4.答案与解析：D主旨大意题。由文章主旨可知，Anderson凭着认真工作使得她

的艺术日臻完善，借此击败种族歧视。选D。

【语篇解读】本文是议论文。安全感是一种人类与生俱来的需求，可是，成功人士与

普通人对安全感的定义并不相同。

5.答案与解析：A段落大意题。第一段虽然也涉及安全感的定义，但是主要是说明安

全感对我们的重要性。作者先指出安全感是"oneofthebasichumanneeds",接下来又

做出两种假设，来说明缺乏安全感的后果。因此A项正确。

6.答案与解析：C推理判断题。由第三段可知，作者列举的都是一些成功人士，他们

在刚开始都是穷困潦倒或处境艰难，由此判断C项正确。

7.答案与解析：A词义猜测题。上文提到那些成功人士往往起步时处境极其艰难。根

据下文可知，那些经济富足、处境优越的人依然感到不安全，也就是说他们不愿意采取行动

去冒险，故A项正确。

8.答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，那些成功的冒险者在内部定义安

全感，而普通人则在外部定义安全感。这也是这两类人在安全感方面最大的区别，因此B项

正确。

II.阅读七选五

1.答案与解析：D上下文串联。根据上一句"Mostofusleadabusylife.说明

很多人都忙于生活，故D项内容我们忙于琐事，却忘记了享受生活。符合上下文的串联。故

选Do

2.答案与解析：C理解判断题。根据下句"Thereisagreatbigworldofwonder

andbeautyaroundus!”说明在我们的身边就有很多美丽的风景，所以你不必要去和很远

的地方找风景。C项：Youdon'tneedtotravelfartofindbeauty,你不需要走很远就能

找到美。与上下文
