课时作业2Ⅰ.阅读理解Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child—a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast from the past，” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words byspeaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh's website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”1．The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to ________.A．recall the pastB．attract the readersC．introduce the topicD．compare the childhood with the present2．According to the passage which language doesn't share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?A．Hungarian. B．Spanish.C．Italian. D．English.3．Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that ________.A．singing is the best way to learn a languageB．the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the wordsC．a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner D．Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other4．In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?A．A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.B．A child is going to have his first music lesson.C．A student is going to learn a new English song.D．An American is going to learn some Chinese.答案与解析本文讲述的是一项关于音乐和外语学习之间关系的研究。

课时作业19Ⅰ.阅读理解(2017·重庆市一中月考)Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying.Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you're unhappy.Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are a monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still.Posture (姿势)．A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down you normally don't sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.Mouth.When you are thinking, you often purse your lips. You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don't wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people willknow you're not pleased.Face.When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would crack briefly, allowing displays of true emotions such as happiness, sadness, disgust(厌恶)and fear to come through.1．When someone is keeping his arms behind his back, he tries to tell you that ________.A．he is not afraid B．he is outgoingC．he is angry D．he is cool2．If you want to appear confident, you should ________.A．move your arms a lotB．cross your armsC．move your head a littleD．keep your head level3．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A．Body language, the most commonly used language.B．Body movements give away secrets of mind.C．Arms tell more than legs.D．Facial expressions tell the truth.答案与解析本文是一篇说明文。

课时作业8Ⅰ.阅读理解Every few years comes a fitness trend that has people scratching their heads in amazement. “Crunning” will probably be one of them. The “c” stands for “crawling”(爬行). This new sport needs two-legged humans running on all fours!The funny idea is the brainchild of Shaun McCarthy. The 34-year-old is convinced that it will revolutionize fitness as we know it. According to the sports enthusiast, “The only thing that crunning's changed about fitness is that it's changed everything about fitness.”McCarthy has no scientific evidence to prove that crunning is more efficient than traditional two-legged running. However, he believes it is a more effective way to exercise because it puts an emphasis on the shoulders and arms, providing a complete body workout. McCarthy also says crunning seems to tire him out more. He therefore concludes that the unconventional exercise is a bigger calorie burner than normal running.While experts generally agree that crunning may provide a better workout, many are not sure if it is the right exercise for humans. Fitness coach Kevin Dean says we are not built to be on all fours and our wrists are therefore not as strong as our ankles. He believes crunning, which he calls a fad(时尚), could result in bad wrist and shoulder injuries, not to mention broken noses.But McCarthy is not worried. Since the release of his crunning video a few weeks ago, many Melbourne residents have been seen scampering around on all fours. As it turns out they are not the only ones. In the Chinese city of Zhengzhou, crawling, a much slower version of crunning, has been a favorite activity for many years. According to someenthusiasts, the light exercise that is believed to date back two thousand years to the Han Dynasty, is good for curing back and spine ailments.Ready to give crunning a try? Then McCarthy recommends investing in some good shoes, hardy gloves and most important of all, a face mask!1．What can we learn about crawling according to Kevin Dean?A．Our ankles are stronger than our wrists.B．Crawling is an efficient way to work out.C．The city of Zhengzhou is the origin of crawling.D．Crawling can burn more calories than normal running.2．What does the author think of crunning?A．Dangerous.B．Interesting.C．Beneficial. D．Unbelievable.3．Why does McCarthy suggest people wearing a face mask when crunning?A．To amuse other people.B．To avoid being recognized.C．To protect the nose from being injured.D．To prevent sweat dropping on the ground.4．What is the text mainly about?A．A new way of crawling.B．A new trend of exercising.C．A scientific discovery.D．A traditional way to keep fit.答案与解析本文讲述的是跑步、游泳、打球都能起到强身健体的作用，但是你听说过通过爬行来健身吗？这是一种更有效的锻炼方式，因为它把重点放在肩部和臂部，提供一个完整的身体锻炼。

课时作业43Ⅰ.阅读理解(2017·海南省海口市第一中学检测)During the 1800s, African Americans worked long days in the fields of the American South. They sang songs that they had brought from Africa while working. One person sang a line. Then a group of workers repeated it. The song's words told of the hardship that people suffered. They clapped their hands and stomped(跺) their feet to the music.In the 1860s, the music changed greatly. African American music took new forms. It was also influenced by dance music, which had great rhythm. Banjos(班卓琴) became popular. A blues singer usually sang a line and then played the banjo in reply. By the early 1900s, the guitar had taken the place of the banjo in the blues music.The blues music has many obvious characteristics. One of them is that the musical notes are often “bent”. That is, they are changed slightly to give a song more strength.Lyrics are the words of a song. Blues lyrics describe everyday life. The lyrics are often about the relationships between men and women. They tell about sadness and overwork. They tell about finding and losing love, having money or being poor, being happy or sad and lonely. They almost always use the rhythms of everyday speech. A group of blues lyrics usually has three lines. The second line repeats the first line. The third line has different words.By the 1940s, large numbers of African Americans moved to Chicago. There, a new kind of “Chicago” blues began. The new music was excellent dance music. Chicago blues led to the birth of a new music style －rock and roll.1．This passage is mainly about ________.A．the blues lyricsB．the life of African AmericansC．the blues musicD．the rhythms of different music2．What information does the passage NOT provide?A．How long the banjo was popular in the blues history.B．When African Americans moved to the American South.C．What the blues lyrics are mostly about.D．How the blues music developed as time went by.3．Which of the following is the most likely taken from a blues song?A．You have to help me. I'll die if you don't. You have to help me.B．I'll die if you don't help me. You have to help me. You have to help me.C．You have to help me. You have to help me. I'll die if you don't.D．I'll die if you don't help me. You have to help me. Please help me.4．What fact does the passage lead you to believe?A．It is not difficult to tell the blues music from others from its musical notes.B．The blues singers in the 1860s usually played the guitar while singing songs.C．African Americans sang songs after a long day's work to relax in the 1800s.D．Rock and roll was the most popular blues music in Chicago in the 1950s.答案与解析本文主要介绍了The blues music(布鲁斯音乐/蓝调音乐)的历史。

课时作业23Ⅰ.阅读理解(2017·海南中学月考)Even as Google plans to test its fleet (车队) of self-driving cars on public roads this summer, its business model remains a bit of a mystery. By 2025, as many as 250,000 self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally, according to a study by an industry research firm.“Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions of people，” said Chris Urmson, director of Google's self-driving car project. For now, Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars. They are strictly for research. But they will hit public roads this summer near Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California. Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses.The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel, accelerator (油门) or brake pedal. “Our software and sensors do all the work，”Urmson said. “The vehicles will be very basic—we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible—but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button.” The prototype (雏形) are the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building.In the long run, Urmson sees a future of safer roads—the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error—and fewer traffic jams. Robotic cars could also shuttle people who can't drive because of age or illness.Google has said that self-driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they don't own. Thecompany has already tested other types of self-driving cars on public streets, including modified Lexus sport-utility vehicles, under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls.The state has issued six other companies permits to operate such cars, including Delphi, Mercedes-Benz, V olkswagen, Tesla, Bosch and Nissan. The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels, accelerators and brake pedals to allow “safety drivers” to take control i f needed.Google says the cars are safe. The vehicles have sensors that “can detect objects out to a distance of more than two football fields in all directions, which is especially helpful on busy streets with lots of intersections，” Urmson said. “We're looking forward to learning how the community understands and interacts with the vehicles, and to uncovering challenges that are unique to a fully self-driving vehicle，”Urmson said.1．According to Chris Urmson, ________.A．self-driving cars can give driving orders to humansB．software and sensors are vital for self-driving carsC．self-driving cars are specially designed for the elderlyD．ordinary vehicles will be replaced by self-driving cars2．The passage informs us that self-driving cars ________.A．have already passed necessary testsB．have been purchased by some companiesC．will be able to communicate with driversD．will probably decrease traffic jams3．The underlined word “intersections” in the last paragraph canprobably be replaced by ________.A．crossings B．buildingsC．vehicles D．accidents4．What is the best title for this passage?A．Google's Self-driving Car Graduates to City StreetsB．Google's Self-driving Car Enjoys Global PopularityC．Self-driving Car Meets New ChallengesD．Self-driving Car Avoids Human Errors答案与解析本文为科技说明文。

课时规范训练(三十七)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2016·高考全国乙卷)I am Peter Hodes，a volunteer stem cell courier.Since March 2012，I've done 89 trips—of those,51 have been abroad.I have 42 hours to carry stem cells (干细胞) in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last.In all，from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor (捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient，we've got 72 hours at most.So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America.I picked up the stem cells in Providence，Rhode Island，and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London.But when I arrived at the check­in desk at Providence，the lady on the desk said：“Well，I'm really sorry，I've got some bad news for you—there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said：“In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient—please，please，you've got to get me back to the United Kingdom.”She just dropped everything.She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me，re­routed(改道) me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job，you're consciously aware that in that box you've got something that is potentially going to save somebody's life.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。

课时作业11Ⅰ.阅读理解(2016·全国卷Ⅲ)If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around. It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn't taste of anything special, it's still worth a try, as is the knobbly (多疙瘩的) Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it's a_pipe_dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards (果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.1．What can people do at the apple events?A．Attend experts' lectures.B．Visit fruit-loving families.C．Plant fruit trees in an orchard.D．Taste many kinds of apples.2．What can we learn about Decio?A．It is a new variety.B．It has a strange look.C．It is rarely seen now.D．It has a special taste.3．What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．A practical idea.B．A vain hope.C．A brilliant plan.D．A selfish desire.4．What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A．To show how to grow apples.B．To introduce an apple festival.C．To help people select apples.D．To promote apple research.答案与解析本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英国10月21日的苹果节的相关情况。
