Module 6 单元加餐练(一) 完形阅读组合练 加餐练(一) 完形阅读组合练 Ⅰ.完形填空 We usually tell ourselves that our life will be complete when we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire ... The __1__ is, there's no better time to be __2__ than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with __3__. It's best to admit this to yourself and __4__ to be happy anyway. One of my __5__ quotes (引言) comes from Alfred D'Souza. He said, “For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to __6__ real life. But there was always some obstacle (障碍) __7__ the way, something to be __8__ first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. __9__ life would begin. At last I realized that these __10__ were my life.” This view has helped me to see that there is no __11__ to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure (珍惜) every __12__ that you have. And treasure it more because you __13__ it with someone special, special enough to spend your time ... and __14__ that time waits for no one. __15__ stop waiting until you finish school, until you start work, until you get married, until you have kids, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is __16__, until you retire, until you __17__, until you are born again to __18__ that there is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a(n) __19__, not an end. Thought for the day, “Work like you don't need money, __20__ like you've never been hurt, and dance like no one's watching.” 语篇解读:我们总是习惯性的认为我们的生活将在未来某个时刻真正开始,我们的幸福将在将来某个时刻降临。这种想法是大错而特错的,作者告诫我们:幸福就在眼前,我们应该活在当下。 1. B.choice C.method D.truth 解析:选D The truth is ...意为“真相/事实是……”第一段作者介绍了我们生活中的一种观念误区,第二段给我们揭示了真相和事实,故选择D项。 2. B.lucky C.active D.happy 解析:选D 根据倒数第三段段末“there is no better time than right now to be happy”可知,此处应选D项。 3. B.chances C.dreams D.answers 解析:选A 第三段承接上文论述了我们的生活中充满了障碍,故A项,challenges一词符合语境。 4. B.decide C.wait D.expect 解析:选B 上文提到生活中充满挑战,所以作者奉劝我们,无论如何,我们都要“下决心”(decide)去快乐生活。 5. B.regular C.favourite D.potential 解析:选C 根据语录和作者的观点一致可知,这是作者“最喜欢”(favourite)的一句语录,故选择C项。 6. B.finish C.change D.come 解析:选A 根据本段末尾“life would begin”的提示可知,Alfred D'Souza总是认为生活即将“开始”(begin),这表明他总是将幸福的实现寄托于未来。 7. B.by C.off D.at 解析:选A “in the way”固定短语,在此表示“阻挡”之意,符合语境。 8. up B.got through C.turned down D.made out 解析:选B get through意为“完成;度过;克服”,前面提到“障碍”,这里接着说我们总是有一些事先要去“克服”。符合语境。 9. B.Meanwhile C.Then D.Otherwise 解析:选C 上文的关键词“first”和下文的“at last”提示此处应是顺承关系,故选C项。Alfred D'Souza认为,等他完成了以上的那些事情,“然后”(then)他的生活就开始了。 10. B.opportunities C.failures D.obstacles 解析:选D 最终,Alfred D'Souza意识到:这些“障碍”正是他生活的组成部分。这里的obstacles与第7空前“some obstacle”相呼应。 11. B.way C.place D.excuse 解析:选B 根据下句“Happiness is the way”可知,此处应该填入way一词。句意:没有通往幸福的道路,幸福本身就是道路。 12. B.moment C.hope D.friend 解析:选B 根据下文“spend your time”和“time waits for no one”可知,这里作者劝我们要珍惜每“一刻”(moment)。 13. B.realized C.shared D.achieved 解析:选C 我们之所以要珍惜这生命中的每一刻,是因为我们与某个特殊的人“共同度过”(share)这些时刻。share sth. with sb.意为“和某人共度”,符合语境。 14. B.suggest C.remind D.prove 解析:选A 上文一系列的祈使句都是讲述时间的宝贵,由此可知作者让我们“记住”(remember)时间不等人。 15. B.But C.Or D.So 解析:选D 通过上文的论述,作者这里得出结论:“因此”(so)不要在等待未来中浪费生命,要活在当下。 16. off B.given off C.turned off D.taken off 解析:选A 前面说“直到买了新车或新房子”,后面接着说“等我们还清汽车或房子的贷款”,符合逻辑上一贯的关系。pay off意为“付清,还清”。 17. B.lose C.die D.forget 解析:选C 作者本段是按照时间顺序来作出假设,从毕业到参加工作,然后结婚生子,再到买房车、还贷款、退休,接下来自然是“死亡”(die)了。 18. B.doubt C.predict D.ensure 解析:选A 总结全文内容可知,作者的论述主要是围绕“幸福就在当下”而展开,故此处应该说的是要“坚信”(believe)这个道理。 19. B.journey C.match D.experiment 解析:选B 根据下句的提示,可知上句要表达的意思是“幸福是一场旅行”,言外之意是人生的幸福就在过程当中,而不只是追求结果。 20. B.give C.take D.love 解析:选D 作者最后奉劝我们:努力工作,尽情去爱,大胆表现。第20空所在处意思是:就像从没受到过伤害那样去爱。 Ⅱ.阅读理解 I was asked by a reader recently why so many animals seem to have pink ears, when their bodies are all different colours? The truth is that most animals actually don't have pink ears. Let us explain. Near the equator (赤道), where the climate is hot, animals are likely to have darker skin, including on their ears. Think of the African elephant, which has quite dark ears. In colder climates, skin colour is usually lighter and often pink. Why is skin colour different in different climates? Skin pigmentation, which is what gives skin its colour, can protect against sunburn and skin cancer (癌症). When animals live in colder parts of the world, they don't need it as much to survive. Light-coloured skin also helps animals stay warmer because it reduces heat loss, which is useful if you're in a colder climate. For most animals, the colour of their fur or other body covering has generally developed as camouflage. That allows animals to mix into the background and avoid being eaten or for predators (捕食者) to remain hidden during hunting. One example is the sandy-coloured coat of the desert fennec fox, which uses camouflage for both hunting and hiding. By the way, in many animals, ears come in many different shapes and sizes. For example, in bats, the serval (a type of African wildcat) and the fennec fox, the ears are large compared to their body size — this helps them hear better because it allows them to sense more sound waves. Naked mole-rats have tiny ears because they need to dig a lot. Big ears would get in the way. The other downside of big ears is that you can lose a lot of body heat. That's why animals that live in really cold places, like the Arctic fox, have quite small ears. 语篇解读:本文是说明文。作者在文中回答了读者关于动物耳朵、皮肤的颜色等问题。 1.Who is the author most likely to be? A.A teacher. B.A librarian. C.A zoo worker. D.A science writer. 解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I was asked by a reader recently why ... Let us explain.”可知,作者作文解答读者关于科普知识方面的问题,因此最有可能是一名科普作家。 2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A.Sunlight. B.Camouflage. C.Skin pigmentation. D.Light-coloured skin. 解析:选C 代词指代题。根据画线词前一句内容“Skin pigmentation, which is what
