课时规范训练(七)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·山东聊城模拟)You signed up for soccer,andplayed every game of the season.Sure,you're not the bestplayer on the team,but most days you gave it your all.Doyou deserve a trophy(奖杯)?If the decision is up to Carol Dweck,the answer would likely be no.She's a psychology professor at Stanford University,California.She says a player doesn't have to be the best to get a trophy.But those who receive an award should have to work for it.She suggests trophies go to the most improved player,or the one who contributed most to the team spirit,as well as to those who play the best.“The trophy has to stand for something,”Dweck told TFK.“If we give a trophy to everyone,then the award has no value.” Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons,such as improving in a sport,teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best.Others say that there's no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport,regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved.“I think we should encourage kids' participation in sports,”says Kenneth Barish,a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College,in New York City.“A trophy is one way to encourage kids' efforts.”Barish argues that when we single_out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy,we are teaching kids the wrong lesson.We are sending the message that winning is everything.“Winning is only part of the equation(等式),”Barish told TFK.“Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise.”There will be plenty of opportunity for kids to learn about competition as they get older,says Barish.They'll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl.For now,he thinks there's nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners.That meanstrophies for everyone.1.According to Carol Dweck,which player should receive a trophy?A.Tony,the most attractive player of the soccer team.B.David,a soccer player who is both clever and funny.C.Peter,who is ready to help his partners to score goals.D.Jim,a soccer player who tries his best to win the game.2.Which of the following statements would Kenneth Barish agree with?A.There is no sense in giving a trophy to everyone.B.Kids fond of playing sports should be rewarded.C.Kids should be given trophies for trying their best.D.It is necessary to encourage kids' participation in sports.3.The underlined phrase “single out” in Paragraph 6 proba bly means “________”.A.honour B.chooseC.value D.stress4.Which shows the correct structure of the text?【语篇导读】如果孩子参加体育比赛,那么是不是每个人都该得到奖杯呢?文章就这个问题给出了两种不同的看法。

Unit 10 Money(B)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2017·陕西西安一模)Money is the root of all evil (邪恶) and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying.Scientists at the University of California Berkeley,US,announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral things,such as lie or cheat,than poorer people.The scientists did a series of eight experiments.They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy ofSciences ( PNA《美国国家科学院院刊》).They ca rried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley.They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks.Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving more modest cars.In another experiment,a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations.Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change.Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly.According to the scientists,rich people often think money can get them out of trouble.This makes them less afraid to take risks.It also means they care less about other people’s feelings.Finally,it just makes them greedier.“Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more,and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest,” said Paul Piff,lead scien tist of the study.Piff pointed out that the findings don’t mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest.He said the experiments were to show howpeople living in different social situations express their instincts(本能)and valuesin different ways.1.By saying “money is the root of all evil”,the author wants to .A.link wealth with bad behaviorB.draw readers’ attention to the researchC.show how the saying proves the findingsD.defend rich people who do immoral things2.According to the scientists,which is NOT the factor that makes rich people immoral?A.They welcome risks.B.They have more desires.C.They believe money talks.D.They become more selfish.3.Why did the scientists do the experiments?A.To show how social status aff ects people’s morality.B.To show people’s instincts and values in different ways.C.To test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true.D.To show the difference between higher-class people and lower-class people.4.What does the passage really want to show us?A.The poor are respectable.B.Money is the root of all evil.C.All rich people are untrustworthy.D.The rich are more likely to act badly.〚导学号07020034〛Ⅱ.完形填空(2017·吉林第三次调研)Being born and brought up in a village called Bruis,I lived a simple

They eat and play together in the snow and this week even head-butted(用头撞)each other for fun.The story of the unusual friendship has touched hearts in Russia, with the animal park releasing regular updates on the pair. The park plans to install video cameras in their living area.Staff at the park said the tiger, which has been given live animals to hunt and eat twice a week for three years, did not touch the goat when it entered the living area last month because the goat did not show any fear.“No one had taught the goat to be afraid of tigers,” the park said to an AFP reporter.Zoo chief Dmitry Mezentsev described the unlikely friendship as nothing short of a miracle.He said the staff realized the tiger would not touch the goat after the two had spent three days together.Timur now sleeps inside the shelter where Amur previously slept, while the tiger spends the night on its roof.They meet up in the morning to walk around,with the goat usually following the tiger. Over the past few days they have begun playing together and running after each other.On Wednesday, Timur challenged Amur,hitting him with his horns (角).“The tiger accepted the goat's challenge,”the animal park said.“He pushed his forehead against Timur's horns, and the friends butted heads for five seconds without fighting, after which, Amur calmly went to lie in the sun on the hill.”The tiger has also attempted to teach the goat how to catch prey and has recently taken a great interest in a block of salt given to Timur.Amur is now being fed live rabbits for lunch,“out of respect for goats,” said1.Why was the goat sent to the Russian animal park?A.Because it was a rare species.B.Because its habitat had been destroyed.C.Because it was intended to be food for a tiger.D.Because it was going to be trained there.2.How did people find out about the story of Amur and Timur?A.From a report from AFP.B.From a staff member of the animal park.C.From visitors who happened to hear about it.D.From the information released by the animal park.3.What is Mezentsev's opinion on the friendship between Amur and Timur?A.He can't believe it is true.B.He thinks it is nothing special.C.He considers it an amazing thing.D.He thinks it is unlikely to last long.4.What can we learn from the text?A.The goat was afraid of the tiger at first.B.The tiger didn't accept any challenge from the goat.C.Amur and Timur were familiar with each other before.D.Amur and Timur learned skills from each other calmly.【语篇导读】本文讲述了一只山羊作为猎物被送往俄国的一个动物园,但是最终和老虎成为亲密无间的好友的故事。

1.A.handed out B.wrapped upC.referred to D.pointed at解析:选A。
句意:教授分发了试卷,像往常一样,有题目的那一面朝下。

4.A.exercises B.choicesC.questions D.scores解析:选C。

故选C项。
5.A.remember B.imagineC.study D.see解析:选D。
句意:我想让你们写出你们看到了什么。
remember意为“记得”;imagine意为“想象”;study意为“学习;研究”;see意为“看见”。
根据后文可知,学生毫无例外,都在描述那个小黑点,由此推断出教授让学生们描述看到了什么。
故选D项。

句意:学生们很困惑(confused),开始这项令人费解的任务。
surprised意为“惊讶的”;curious意为“好奇的”;displeased意为“不开心的,生气的”。
根据后面inexplicable的中文释义“费解的”可推断confused符合语境。
故选B项。
7.A.collected B.finishedC.marked D.selected解析:选A。
根据常识,考完试后应把试卷都收起来。
因此,此处指教授收齐(collected)所有的试卷,并开始当着学生的面大声地读出每一份答案。
finish意为“完成”;mark意为“打分”;select意为“挑选”。
8.A.excuse B.doubtC.exception D.explanation解析:选C。

9.A.said B.answeredC.returned D.read解析:选D。
根据第7空后的and started reading each one of them aloud可知,教授在全班面前读同学们交的答案。

10.A.also B.justC.even D.finally解析:选B。
句意:我不打算给答案打分,我只是(just)想让你们去思考一些问题。
根据语境可知选B项。
11.A.big B.blackC.beautiful D.white解析:选D。
句意:没有人写关于纸上的白色部分(除小黑点之外的部分)。
根据上文可知,所有人都描述了那个小黑点,由此可推断这里是white part。
故选D项。
12.A.lives B.clasroomsC.colleges D.studies解析:选A。
句意:每个人都在关注那个小黑点,类似的情况也发生在我们的生活中(lives)。
由后文可知,教授在讲我们的生活。
故选A项。
13.A.send B.keepC.enjoy D.show解析:选C。
句意:我们有一整张白纸来观察和欣赏(enjoy)……。
据下一空所在句子可知,生活就像一份带着爱和关心的礼物,C项符合语境。
14.A.burden B.giftC.pressure D.lesson解析:选B。
句意:我们的生活就像一份带着爱和关心的礼物(gift)……。
burden意为“负担”;pressure意为“压力”;lesson意为“教训;课”;根据关键词love和care,以及下一句的celebrate可知B项符合语境。
15.A.reasons B.timeC.freedom D.festivals解析:选A。

根据冒号之后的内容可知,A项正确。
16.A.threatens B.ruinsC.provides D.changes解析:选C。
句意见上一题解析。
threaten意为“威胁”;ruin意为“毁灭”;change意为“改变”;此句为定语从句,先行词为the job,在定语从句中作主语,livelihood“生计”为宾语,因此本空应填谓语动词,provides our livelihood意为“为我们提供生计”。
故选C项。
17.A.However B.ThereforeC.Besides D.Moreover解析:选A。
句意:然而,我们只关注那些“黑点”:困扰我们的健康问题;缺钱,与同事复杂的(complicated)关系,与朋友相处中的失望(disappointment)等等。
therefore意为“因此”;besides意为“除此以外”;moreover意为“而且;此外”;上一段中教授讲到生活中积极的一面,根据第17空后面的dark spots 可知,本段说的是消极的一面,故用However表示转折。
18.A.close B.complicatedC.special D.strong解析:选B。
句意见上一题解析。
close意为“亲近的”;special意为“特殊的”;strong意为“坚强的”;由于本句所在段落着眼于生活中不如意的事情,故用complicated(复杂的)。
