第三单元测评【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。自古英雄出少年,本文介绍了迄今为止世界上最年轻的四位奥运冠军。1.B细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“HerlastOlympicgoldmedalcameduringthe2000SydneyOlympicsinAustralia.”可知,伏明霞的最后一枚奥运奖牌是在澳大利亚悉尼奥运会上获得的。2.A细节理解题。根据第三段中“Thejust-finished...Japan’sNishiyaMomijibecamethefirsteverwomen’sOlympicskateboardingchampion.”可知,NishiyaMomiji在自己的国家赢得了第一枚金牌。3.D细节理解题。四位奥运冠军中,MarjorieGestring的年龄最小,在她只有13岁又268天时,她获得了1936年柏林奥运会的冠军。【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了温迪在攀岩时受伤,医生建议她放弃攀岩,但是温迪认为事故只是为了提醒大家小心,她决定继续攀岩。4.C推理判断题。根据第一段中“butafterherlatestaccidentlastSaturday,sheisluckytobealive.”可知,温迪在攀岩时受了重伤。5.B细节理解题。根据第三段中“I’llbeinhereforawhile,andIneedtimetorecoverbecauseIhitmyheadwhenIfellontheground.That’swhyIcan’trememberanythingabouttheaccident.”可知,温迪不记得事故是因为她的头部受伤了。6.D词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“butthey’veadvisedhertogiveupherdangeroussport.”以及“I’vestartedtofeelbetteralready,andIcan’twaittostartclimbingagain.”可知,听到医生的建议之后,温迪仍然选择继续攀岩。由此猜测,画线单词表示“没有被阻止”,与notdiscouraged同义。7.B主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中“Ithinkthisaccidentissimplyaremindertotakealittlemorecare.I’vestartedtofeelbetteralready,andIcan’twaittostartclimbingagain.”可知,文章主要描述了攀岩运动爱好者温迪在攀岩中受重伤,但是她认为事故只是给自己的一个教训,最终还是决定继续攀岩,所以“给温迪的教训”可以作为文章标题。【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过巴西冲浪者Maya挑战年度最大、最高的海浪表明,女性冲浪者可以做得和男性一样好,甚至更好。8.A细节理解题。根据第一段中“ButforBraziliansurferMaya,itpresentedtheperfectopportunitytobreakherformerworldrecord.”可知,Maya参加首届比赛是为了打破前世界纪录,打算挑战自己。9.B推理判断题。根据第二段中“ItturnedoutthatMaya’s73.5-footmonsterwastwofeethigherthanthatofhercompetitor’swave...Itwasalso3.5feethigherthanthe70-footwaveridden...”可知,Maya冲浪了年度最大、最高的海浪。10.D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Oursportisverymale-dominated,withtheperformancesonthemalesideoftenmuchstrongerthanoursasfemales”和“SoMaya’ssuccessopenstheideathatthereareotherpossibilities.”可知,Maya的成功意义在于它表明女性冲浪者可以做得和男性一样好,甚至更好。11.C推理判断题。最后一段中提到“她摔断了脚踝,差点丧命。然而,这个小困难并没有打消她对极限运动的热爱,也没有打消她成为世界上最伟大的冲浪者之一的愿望!”。由此可知,Maya是个有决心的人。【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述JordanSpieth赢了theUSMasters比赛,介绍了JordanSpieth的运动品质。12.B推理判断题。根据第二段中“JordanSpiethhaslearnedtokeephimselfincheck.”以及“hewasthesameandkepthisemotionssteadyandstrong”可知,JordanSpieth是一个能够很好地控制自己情绪的人。13.A推理判断题。根据第三段中“Heknowswhichclubheisgoingtodrivewithoneveryhole”以及“hehasplayeditthroughhismindsformonths.Heisthepersonwhomakesthingshappenbyplanninginadvance.”可知,本段通过举例,说明了JordanSpieth是一个有计划并且为之坚持到底的人。14.D推理判断题。通过文章最后一段中“However,heneverstopslearning.”以及“Heisalwaysreading,learning,andheunderstandsthatthegreatestteacherofallisfailure.”可知,打完2014年的比赛后,JordanSpieth受到了鼓舞。15.B主旨大意题。通读全文,再根据文章第一段中“Icouldnothelpbutthinkofthegreatqualitieshedisplayedtowinthemostfamousgolfeventonthecalendaragainstthegreatestplayersintheworld.”可知,本文讲述的是JordanSpieth的运动品质。【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了太极拳对人们健康的好处。16.B上文“MostpeoplethinkChinesemartialartsareallaboutkicking,punchingandfighting.”说明大多数人对中国武术有刻板印象,认为中国武术就是拳打脚踢。下文“Itisslow,calmandpeaceful.”说明设空处与上文应是形成转折关系。B项“Buttaichiistheotherwayaround.”与上文及下文一致。17.E上文提到“太极拳起源于17世纪中叶的河南省温县。联合国教科文组织最近将其列入非物质文化遗产名录。虽然太极是一种古老的武术,但它至今仍很受欢迎”。设空处位于段尾,有总结上文的作用。E项中的“over100millionfans”说明了太极拳受欢迎的程度。18.A设空处位于段首,具有统领下文的作用,下文是对设空处的解释说明。A项中的“manycandoit”与下文一致,A项“这意味着很多人都能做到”切题。19.G根据“Youcancontrolthembetter.Slowmovementsalsoallowyoutotakedeep,longbreaths.Thisisgoodforyourbodies.”可知,太极拳缓慢的动作对身体有好处。G项中的“slowmovements”“yourhandsandfeet”与下文一致。20.F根据上文“Buttaichi’sbenefitsgobeyondthephysical.”以及下文“Taichihastaughtthemthevalueoflivingmoreslowly...‘Practicingtaichiislikespeakingwithmysoul.’”可知,设空处承上启下,下文是对设空处的举例。F项中的“it’snotonlyasport,butalsoawayoflife”与上文及下文一致。【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。本文作者叙述了自己的新书签售会上,等了很久都没有读者前来,作者非常灰心。直到书店即将关门,自己打算回家的时候,一对夫妇的到来令作者非常激动。这件事,激励着作者把写作进行下去。21.C句意:签售会被安排在一家漂亮的书店里。根据“Thebooksigning”可知,这是一场签名售书活动,活动被安排(arranged)在书店里。22.A句意:我原以为会有成百上千的顾客排队让我为他们签名。根据“hundredsofcustomers”可知,作者原以为会有成百上千的顾客排队(lineup)。23.C句意:然而,事情并不是这样发生的。根据“itdidn’tquitehappenlikethat”可知,此处句意发生了转折,然而(However)并没有顾客排队买书。24.B句意:尽管外面的牌子很漂亮,但没有一个顾客进来。根据“Thebooksigningwasinabeautifulbookstore.”可知,这是一场在书店的签名售书活动,此处指的是没有买书的顾客(customer)。

25.D句意:随着每一分钟过去,我就越来越焦虑。根据下文“Justbeforethestore’sclosing,,Ibegantogetmyselfreadytoleave.”可知,作者越来越(increasingly)焦虑,到最后失望地想离开书店了。

26.A句意:在过去的四年里,我的生活日程安排得很紧。根据“Iwokeupat5:30a.m.everydayandhadtwohoursofwritingbeforework.”可知,作者每天起床很早,在上班之前两小时写作,日常工作安排(schedule)非常紧张。27.D句意:我经常祈祷我的读者最终会被感动。上文提到,作者每天起床很早,在上班之前两小时写作。此处指作者这么辛苦,祈祷自己的努力能感动(touched)读者。28.B句意:现在,我一个人坐在这里,想知道我的整个人生是否只是一个大笑话。根据“Despitethenicesignoutside,notasingleentered.Aseachminutepassed,Iwasanxious.”可知,作者满怀希望能够有人买他的书,但是,签名售书活动非常失败,没有顾客来买书。因此,作者想知道(wondered)为什么这么失败,似乎自己的人生是个笑话。

29.C句意:就在商店关门前,我气馁了,开始准备离开。上文提到,没有一个顾客来买书,因此作者渐渐气馁(discouraged)了。30.B句意:就在我感觉到不能更糟的时候,一对中年夫妇走了进来。上文提到,作者最后气馁,都准备离开了。因此,作者感觉没有比这更糟糕(worse)了。31.C句意:我设法掩饰我的坏情绪,介绍了我自己和我的书。根据“...introducedmyselfandmybook.Whilelistening,theynoddedinfromtimetotime”可知,作者向这对夫妇介绍自己的书并得
