课时分层作业(三)Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe Torchlight Festival is a traditional festival celebrated among some minority ethnic groups in southwestern China, such as Yi nationality, Bai nationality, Hani nationality, Lisu nationality, etc.It usually falls on the 24th day of the 6th lunar month.The origin of the festival may have something to do with the worship of fire by ancestors, who believed fire had the power to drive away insects and evils and protect crop growth.For some minority ethnic groups, it's a tradition in the festival for elders to share farming experience with young people and educate them to take care of crops.During the festival, big torches are made to stand in all villages, with small torches placed in front of the door of each house.When night falls, the torches are lit and the villages are bright.At the same time, people walk around the fields and houses, holding small torches and placing the torches in the field corners.Inside the villages, young people are singing and dancing around the big torches that keep burning throughout the night.Other activities like horse races, bullfights, etc.are also held during the festival.In a horse race of the Yi people in Yunnan, torches are used to form hurdles(栏架) for riders to jump over.The Hani people in Yunnan traditionally attach fruits to torches with ropes.When the ropes are broken after the torches are lit，people struggle for the fruits for good luck.For the Lisu people in Sichuan, the festival is an occasion for holding grand torch parades.Big torches are carried by the procession (队伍)，which is like a fire dragon.If several processions from different directions meet, it's a tradition to exchange the big torches with one another.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s,with great interest.My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe, where my father was to attend a meeting. We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and West Germany.I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew. The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is otherwise scared of flying.After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience. I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.Being the first airline to take me overseas, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today, I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying, in general, for me, has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience). Flying on Lufthansa, however, is something I always have and always will look forward to.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

But once a joke was played on him.One day Mark Twain was asked to give a talk in a small town. At lunch he met a young man he knew who told him that he had an uncle who never laughed or smiled. The young man told Mark Twain that nobody and nothing could possibly make his uncle smile or laugh.“You bring your uncle to my talk tonight，”said Mark Twain. “I'm sure I can make him laugh.”That evening the young man and his uncle sat in the first row. Mark Twain spoke directly at the old man. He told some rather interesting stories, which made everyone in the hall laugh. But the old man never even smiled. Mark Twain told the most interesting stories he knew. But the old man's face was still a blank. At last MarkTwain stopped. He felt tired and discouraged.Some days later, Mark Twain told a friend of his about what had happened. “Oh，”said his friend, “I know that old man. He has been deaf for years.”【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

The total is nearly 550,000, about 3% lower than last year. The number comes from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The information comes after a report from the United Nations that homelessness is “spreading” worldwide. The report asked governments around the world to terminate homelessness by 2030 so that no one would have to live on the streets.The UN last did a study on the world's homeless population 11 years ago. At that time, it estimated (估计) the total at 100 million. But the UN said the number is likely much higher today. It estimates that 100 million children alone are now without a home.Recently, in the city of Mosul, Iraq, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development measured (统计) homelessness on a single night. In January, thousands of volunteers spread out across the country. They counted a total of 549,922 homeless people. That is down 14% from six years ago. Still, the government reported increased homelessness in the cities of Los Angeles, Dallas, Seattle and Washington, D．C. Officials thought higher housing prices are responsible for the increase.Leilani Farha, the top UN official on housing, said homelessness is an issue of life­and­death importance. “The death rate (死亡率) among homeless people is two to ten times higher than that among the people who are not homeless，” she said.In the Kenyan capital of Nairobi, 250,000 people do not have a place to stay. Many of them are children, and live on the streets. In India, the homeless population is estimated at 78 million. Eleven million of that number are street children. Indonesia's homeless population is 3 million, including 28,000 in the capital, Jakarta. In Nigeria, the homeless population is estimated at 24 million.【文章大意】本文是新闻报道，话题是社会生活类。

After the huntsman is unable to complete the task, Snow White runs throughout the forest and finds asmall house of seven dwarfs (小矮人). Hearing that the huntsman didn't kill the Snow White from her magic mirror, the Evil Queen takes matters into her own hands and decides to find and kill Snow White herself. Pretending to be an old beggar, the Evil Queen gives Snow White a dangerous apple. Snow White falls into a deep sleep after eating the apple and is later woken up by a handsome Prince. They live happily ever after.In the original Brothers Grimm tale, the above isn't the end of the story as the Evil Queen unknowingly is invited to the wedding of Snow White and Prince. Once she arrives at Snow White's big day, hot iron shoes are placed in front of her and she is forced to step into the burning shoes and dance until she drops dead. This ending is much darker than that seen in the 1937 Disney film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The Disney film adds a child­like wonder to the tale with the dwarfs each being named and therefore they all have their own personalities: Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy and Dopey. Also in_variation to the original tale, the Prince and Snow White have met before her eating the apple and Snow White wakes up immediately after the Prince kissed her. They live happily ever after.The 2012 film Snow White and the Huntsman added something new to the tale. The Huntsman is told to return Snow White to the Evil Queen. If he does that, the Evil Queen Will bring his wife back from the dead. Upon realizing that this was an empty promise, the Huntsman decides to teach Snow White how to fight against the Evil Queen.The moral (寓意) of the story hasn't changed over time: good will win in the end over evil.【文章大意】《白雪公主》这个故事家喻户晓，但是这个故事不是只有一个版本。

ATravelers in America who want to experience the Wild West can now go to a holiday in the old style to see how the American pioneers traveled and lived.Today’s travelers go by horse wagon like the old－time. They set up camp at night under the stars and learn to cook their meals over fires. They also learn to lead herds of cattle with present －day cowboys and try to bring wild horses into a corral (畜栏). For those who just want to pretend half way, the special holidays offer the chance to “rough it” during the day in the wagons but sleep at night in the comfort of fan air－conditioned ranch(牧牛场) complete with swimming pool, sauna and tennis courts.In Wyoming the holiday makers will travel by wagon past ghost towns and cemeteries where pioneers and wild cowboys were buried. The route goes along the same track as the Pony E Indians and robbers to get the mail through to the Wild West. High Island Ranch in Wyoming at the foot of the Rocky Mountains is also an ideal place to go trout fishing and to ride wild horses. In Colorado, the modern －day pioneers can stay at Randy George’s ranch and try their handat breaking－in horses and branding(打烙印) cattle. In New Mexico there will be a chance to help in driving cattle to their new summer pastures(牧场). Trips last for a week so those taking part get a chance to get a feel for the Wild West as it really was.1．What is the author’s purpose by writing the passage?A．To reveal the real life of the Wild West in the old time.B．To tell the readers what they should prepare for special holidays.C．To introduce some trips in which people can experience the Wild West.D．To advertise for the most popular tourist attractions in America.2．What does the underlined phrase “rough it” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Make the travelers comfortable. B．Live a hard and simple life.C．Travel everywhere in the wagons. D．Bring wild horses into a corral.3．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A．Travelers will pass ghost towns to visit pioneers and wild cowboys.B．People are not interested in how the pioneers traveled and lived.C．It was not easy to deliver the mail to the Wild West in theold time.D．The pioneers and wild cowboys in the old time led an easy life.【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了人们可以去体验的美国西部蛮荒旅行。

In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any reasonable student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, many famous professors and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that's not what I did.I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts (文科) university that doesn't even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility (灵活) and a value system to guide me in my job. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision (眼界) by municating with people who weren't studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a wise choice. They told me I was wise and grown-up beyond my18 years, and I believed them.I headed off to the college and sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering "factories" where they didn't care if you had values or were flexible.I was going to be a plete engineer: technical expert and excellent humanist all in one.Now I'm not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideas crashed into reality, as all noble ideas finally do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineeringcourses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile (协调) engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to bee the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don't mix as easily as I supposed in high school. Individually they shapea person in very different ways. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.21. Why did the author choose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university?____________A. He intended to bee an engineer and humanist.B. He intended to be a reasonable student with noble ideals.C. He wanted to be an example of practicality and rationality.D. He wanted to municate with liberal-arts students22. According to the author, by municating with people who study liberal arts, engineering students can____________A. bee noble idealistsB. broaden their knowledgeC. find a better job in the futureD. balance engineering and liberal arts23. When the author says "Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it es to my college education I am an idealist and a fool" at the beginning of the passage, he actually means________.A. he has failed to achieve his ideal aimsB. he is not a practical and rational studentC. his choice of attending to a small liberal-arts university is reasonableD. his idea of bining engineering with liberal-arts is noble and wise24. The author suggests in this passage that________.A. liberal-arts students are supposed to take engineering coursesB. technical experts with a wide vision are expected in the societyC. successful engineering students, are more weled in the societyD. engineering universities with liberal-arts courses are neededBEvery year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for "sport" Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching, and only those few who take part realize the cruelty and destruction.The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly. Children too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led a long way away by their gunning parents. They are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shooting as good for their health and gun-carrying as a way of putting redder blood in the veins (血管). They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill. In school they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate (刺激) a desire to own a gun.Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and because of the loss of wildland habitat (栖息地). Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? There doesn't seem to be any chance if the serious condition of ourbirds is not improved.Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunners alone. Although most people do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people.Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we do and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of dying can make nobody happy. If, as they would have you believe, gun-carrying and killing improve human character, then perhaps we should encourage war.25. According to the text, most people do not seem to be against hunting because________.A. they have little knowledge of itB. it helps to build human characterC. it is too costly to stop killing wildlifeD. they want to keep wildlife under control26. The underlined word "agony" in the last paragraph probably means________.A. formB. conditionC. painD. sadness27. According to the text, the films children watch at school actually________.A. teach them how to deal with guns safelyB. praise hunting as character-buildingC. describe hunting as an exerciseD. encourage them to have guns of their own28. It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to________.A. blame the majority of peopleB. worry about the existence of wildlifeC. be in favour of warD. be in support of character-buildingCSeveral years ago, my parents, my wife, my son and I ate at one of those restaurants where the menu is written on a blackboard. After a wonderful dinner, the waiter set the check in the middle of the table. That's when it happened: my father did not reach for the check.Conversation continued. Finally I realized that I should pick up the check! After hundreds of restaurant meals with my parents, after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one with dollars, it all had changed. I reached for the check, and my view of myself suddenly changed. I was an adult. I was no longer a kid(child).Some people mark off (区分) their lives in years, I measure mine in small events. I didn't bee a young man at a particular age, like 16, but rather when a kid who wandered in the streets called me "mister". These events in my life are called "milestones( 里程碑)".There have been other milestones. The cops (policemen) of my youth always seemed big, even huge, and of course they were older than I was. Then one day they were suddenly neither. The day came when I suddenly realized that all the football players in the game I was watching were younger than I was. They were just big kids. With that milestone gone, I dreamt that someday, maybe I, too, could be a football player. Without ever having reached the hill, I was over it.I never thought that I would fall asleep in front of the TV set as my father did. Now it's what I do best. I never thought that I would go to the beach and not swim, yet I spent all of August at the shore and never once went into the ocean. I never thought that I would appreciate opera, but now the bination of voice and orchestral (乐队) attract me. I never thought that I would prefer to stay home in the evenings, but now I find myself passing up parties. 1 used to think that people who watched birds were strange, but this summer I found myself watching them. and maybe I'll get a book on the subject. I feel a strong desire for religious belief that I never thought I'd want, feel close to my ancestors (祖先) long gone, and echo my father in arguments with my son. I still lose. . .One day I bought a house. One day—what a day! —I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the check for my own father. I thought then it was a milestone for me. One day, when I was a little older. I realized it was one for him too, another milestone.29. The tone established in the passage is one of__________A. sad regretB. amusementC. happinessD. deep feeling30. The author mentions the event in the restaurant because____________A. that was one of his milestonesB. he paid the bill but he didn't want toC. he became a father with dollarsD. that was the last restaurant meal with his parents31. "Then they were suddenly neither, "suggests that suddenly____________A. they became older than I wasB. I knew that they were neither bigger nor older than I wasC. I realized that I made a mistakeD. I found myself no longer a kid32. Which of the following best expresses the author's thinking? ________A. One day is worth two tomorrows.B. To save time is to lengthen life.C.

People these days feel as though they have to be doing something. If they are not working, they are jogging, or playing tennis or golf, or taking courses to improve their minds or bodies—or they are parked in front of the TV. Sitting in front of the TV isn't sitting—it's watching.People used to sit a whole lot. You would walk down the street or drive down the road, and there they would be, out on the doorsteps, sitting. You could go down to the store and sit on the bench out front in the summer or around the fire in the winter. There were sitting benches out in the town square. At the garage, there were straight-backed chairs. There among the oilcans and tires and spare parts, you could kick back and sit.Houses used to have sitting rooms, where the grown-ups would go after Sunday dinner. Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Aunt Ruby would sit and digest (消化) the fried chicken and talk about Aunt Ethel's illness, and how well the minister did today. Outside, the children would play, and the afternoon would pass by in a fortable haze (悠闲的氛围).That sort of thing looks like doing nothing. A recharging battery (正充电的电池) doesn't look as if it's doing anything either. Sitting restores your soul. If you want to enjoy a truly full life, don't just do something—sit there.21.

The robots will be sent up within two weeks of each other in May and June of xx from Kennedy Space Center. If all goes well, the two spacecraft ( 宇宙飞船) will touch down on Mars, after a seven-and-a-half-month space flight, on January 2 and 20,xx.The robots, each weighing 150 kilograms, can cover 100 meters per day. They are designed to be able to examine the mineral content of the soil, and their special camera will take pictures of the lands and hills. Although they will be under control from Earth, the robots are able to move more freely pared to those sent up before them.The actual landing points have not been determined yet, but the scientists say it will be in areas where they hope to find water.25.
