课时作业(三)

I.阅读理解

【语篇解读】作者在文章中用自己的亲身经历告诉我们阅读的重要性：阅读给我们打

开了生活中的一扇窗户。

1.答案与解析：D推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句"Infact,Igrewupthinking

ofreadingasnaturalasbreathing...andlivein.”可知作者把阅读当成是和呼吸一样

自然的事情。说明阅读已经成为作者生活的一部分了，故D正确。

2.答案与解析：C词义猜测题。根据前一句"Everywriterstartsoff

knowing...rightwaystosayit.”每一个作家都知道他们有话要说，但是有时却找不到正

确的方法把要说的话说出来。根据本句“Hehastofindhisownvoicebyreadingwidely”

可知要通过广泛阅读找到自己的表达思想的方法，所以本句中的voice就是指作者的写作方

法，故C正确。

3.答案与解析：B推理判断题。根据文章最后两句MReadingfictionremindsme...n

可知阅读让自己跳出小圈子，让自己了解到更多的知识，呈现给作者一个更为广阔的世界，

故B正确。

4.答案与解析：A主旨大意题。作者在文章第一段中介绍了自己的童年就是在阅读中

度过的，接着又介绍了阅读的重要作用，阅读让自己领略了外面的世界。所以本文主要告诉

我们为什么我们要阅读，故A正确。

【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章介绍了葡萄牙探险家达•伽马第一次航行到印度的

原因及过程。

5.答案与解析：B猜测词义题。由第一段中的**theremaybeaway...towardsIndiaw

和画线词后的"theIndianOceandidnotconnectwiththeAtlanticOcean”可知，因

为许多人认为印度洋与大西洋不相连，所以他们对绕过好望角有到达印度的路线这一想法持

怀疑态度。

6.答案与解析：C细节理解题。第一段解释了葡萄牙国王派遣达•伽马出行的原因

"findawaytogettoIndia...tradingspicesinEuropew,再由第二段中的"toldto

discoverasearoutearoundAfricatoIndia”可知，达•伽马第一次航行到印度的目的

是寻找一条贸易路线。

7.答案与解析：D细节理解题。由第三段描述达•伽马第一次从欧洲航海到印度的路

线"leftonhisfirstvoyagefromLisbon...rounded...attheCapeofGoodHope...

AtMalindi(about120kmnortheastofMombasa)...crosstheIndianOceanandarrive

inCalicut”可知答案。

8.答案与解析：D推理判断题。由第三段中的"Hehadbroughtlittleofvalue...

doubtfulofhim”可知,到达Calicut之后，由于船上有价值的东西太少,因此达•伽马和

他的船员们在那里不受当地商人的欢迎。

II.完形填空

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己从一个自私的人变成现在能为他人

着想的人的感受和过程•上大学时一心只想着拿学位而拼搏，结果一个朋友都没有感到很孤

单。后来作者在Vista护理之家，结识了一位改变了她、把她当作女儿的重病缠身的老妇人。

老人告诉她：只有别人感到高兴自己才快乐。

1.答案与解析：B考查连词辨析。since自从；before在之前；or或者：unless

除非。before在……之前，表示的含义是在考虑自己之前先考虑别人，对应前边的改变自我

为中心。故选B。

2.答案与解析：C考查形容词辨析。句意：变成了不同于以前的人。famous著名的；

simple简单的；different不同的；skill6d有技巧的。故选C项。

3.答案与解析：D考查名词辨析。根据上下文推断，改变这个单词贯穿全文。education

教育；career事业；tour旅行；change变化。故选D。

4.答案与解析：A考查动词辨析。talktosb.和某人谈话，因为前文说是自己认为

比别人聪明，因此几乎不和别人说话。talked谈论；wrote写;lied说谎；reported报道。

故选Ao

5.答案与解析：C考查名词辨析。词义实验的含义，引申为一种突破，一种改变，对

应下文开始做的事情。argument争论；game运动；experiment实验；defense防御。故选C。

6.答案与解析：B考查动词辨析。offertodosth.表示主动提出做某件事情，更能

体现出想改变的决心。dared敢；offered提供；hesitated犹豫；happened发生。故选B。

7.答案与解析：D考查名词辨析。表示一种进步，紧接着，对应下文的具体的进步之

处。dream梦想；problem问题；duty责任；step台阶，步骤。故选D。

8.
