Book 3 Unit 3 综合训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Emilia Dobek traces her interest in space and the universe back to third grade when she
and her father watched a blood moon — a total lunar eclipse (月食) — on the roof of their
house.
Now a seventh grader at East Prairie Elementary School, Dobek recently won the
national Discovery Education Lockheed Martin Beyond Challenge by designing a space
station for travelling to Mars.
She says that night watching the lunar eclipse started a strong desire in her that has yet
to run out of fuel. So when her teacher Andrea Smeeton received information about the
national challenge, Smeeton said she immediately had one student in mind.
“I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her
search，” Smeeton said. “She immediately started researching bone density (密度) of
astronauts and how to have food on Mars.”
“My design will ensure the safety of the astronauts but also make sure their comfort is
out of this world，” Dobek says.
Dobek's design calls for building the MSS or Mars Storage Station to put the supplies
in. It also includes the SGF or Self-Growing Farm, and she details how it would work with
the elements on Mars.
Then there is physical and leisure activity for the astronauts under Dobek's design. A
simulator (模拟装置) allows astronauts to choose their exercise machine and virtual reality
environment. Rooms have circular ceilings so astronauts will be able to watch downloaded
shows and even see places on Earth, such as their homes.
“I want to tell other kids to follow their passions，” Dobek said. “Whatever they want
to do, they should push for it and always try their best.”
语篇解读：本文主要介绍了七年级学生Emilia Dobek设计太空站，并赢得挑战的相关内容。
1．Dobek first became interested in space when ________.
A．she was still a seventh grader
B．she studied at a junior high school
C．she lived on the top of their house
D．she watched an eclipse of the moon
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第一段的内容可知，Dobek对太空感兴趣是从她在三年第 2 页 共 6 页
级时的一个晚上观看一次月食开始的。
2．Smeeton recommended that Dobek take the challenge because ________.
A．she knew Dobek liked challenges in life
B．she had no other students interested in Mars
C．Dobek knew how to research bone density of astronauts
D．she was sure that Dobek would have outstanding performance
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第四段Smeeton的话可推知，她对Dobek很了解，对其可以接受这项挑战并出色完成充满信心。
3．What does Dobek focus on when designing the space station?
A．The environment on Mars.
B．The safety of the supplies.
C．The activities for astronauts.
D．The comfort of the astronauts.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“make sure their comfort is out of this
world”并结合对倒数第二段的整体理解可推知，Dobek的设计包含身体运动和休闲活动，也让宇航员在太空中感到舒适。

Would a faster reading speed mean that we could learn more? Some people claim that
it's possible. In July last year, the six-time speed reading champion Anne Jones sat down to
read Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman. Just 25 minutes and 31 seconds later, she finished it
— which equals a reading rate of around 3,700 words per minute. Jones runs training
courses teaching speed reading, recall and concentration techniques and there are numerous
speed reading apps that have appeared on the market over the past few years. But do they
actually work?
First, we need to understand how we read. The human eye movement system is central
to our reading ability. Read over that sentence again, and think about how your eyes scan
across the words. They don't move smoothly over them. Instead, they make a series of short,
sharp jumps, skipping over a few characters before briefly landing on a word. The
movements are known as saccades (扫视) and the pauses are called fixations.
Reading isn't just about seeing the words — you need to comprehend them to build up
a picture about what the text means. People are able to get through a block of text faster, but
at the cost of accuracy and understanding. In other words, if you use a speed reading app,
then you'll probably get the gist (主旨) of a piece of text, but you'll struggle to recall details 第 3 页 共 6 页
about what you've just read.
So, does speed reading work? Well, yes and no. It really depends on what you're
reading and why you need to read it. As yet, there isn't a trick that enables you to read a
piece of text both quickly and accurately — there's always going to be a trade-off.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了快速阅读有一定的作用。快速阅读虽然能掌握文章的主旨，但是回忆细节还需要时间。
4．What's the main idea of the passage?
A．Speed reading is bad at times.
B．Speed reading is a waste of time.
C．Speed reading can work sometimes.
D．Speed reading is always enjoyable.
解析：选C 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“But do they actually work？”可知，第一段对快速阅读是否有用提出疑问；接着第二段介绍了阅读能力与眼睛运动系统有关，结合第三段尾句可知，使用速读应用程序你很可能掌握主旨大意，但是对文章细节不一定能掌握。据此可推知，快速阅读有时是有用的，故C项正确。
