Unit1閱讀理解題組——練速度Ⅰ.閱讀理解AImagine taking a photo of a destination that’s so colorful that you don’t need to apply any filters.Among many of the Earth’s colorful landscapes,there are mountains whose colors go beyond single and boring shades.ThePitons,AfricaNear the town of Soufriere,on St.Lucia’s southwestern coast,this pair of mountainous volcanic cones is truly green and what may attract your attention is that they’re also blessed in being covered with a grassy and unique forest that is home to a number of rare plant species.Collectively they are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.ZhangyeNationalGeopark,ChinaIn northwestern China’s province of Gansu,this UNESCO national park is considered to be one of China’s most beautiful natural wonders.At first glance,it looks like a rainbow was carefully applied to a palette.MontagneSainteVictoire,FranceWhat makes this mountain range so wonderful is that it has served as an inspiration for the French artist Paul Cezanne.This Post-Impressionist painter was inspired by this distinct landscape so much that it became the constant subject of his paintings.VermilionCliffsNationalMonument,AmericaNamed in 2000,this national monument in Northern Arizona line makes you feel like you’ve stepped onto another planet.Towering cliffs,and colored rock formations are found across this site’s many regions.But wait a minute:There are certain areas that require obtaining specific permits in advance to explore them,so do your homework first.1.What may interest you besides colors in the Pitons?A.There are unusual plants.B.It is located on the coast.C.There are volcano-shaped mountains.D.It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site.2.Which place became the constant subject of Paul Cezanne’s paintings?A.The Pitons.B.Zhangye National Geopark.C.Montagne Sainte Victoire.D.Vermilion Cliffs National Monument.3.What needs your special attention when you visit Vermilion Cliffs National Monument?A.Making some preparations ahead of time.B.Getting a permission before exploring.C.Various mountains blocking your way.D.Feeling like walking into another planet.BAs a boy,I wanted to go to the South Pole.As a teenager,I decided I’d like to go to the North Pole too.And yet,I haven’t done either.It had taken me 31 years to just make it to the Arctic.I was traveling with a film crew from Northern Ireland,following the footsteps of Lord Dufferin who,in the 1850s,sailed from Scotland to the Arctic.As an early adventure tourist,he was driven by the desire to see what lay at the ends of the world.As we sailed north,icebergs of the size of buses floated past our small boat.Finally,we reached our destination—English Bay,where Dufferin landed and stepped off onto the horseshoe-shaped beach.This was what I’d dreamt of:standing somewhere so pure and primitive.However,for many early polar explorers,the results were far less pleasant.The south,in particular,was the source of extreme danger.My childhood interest in the South Pole was fueled by the unsuccessful yet heroic adventures of Ernest Shackleton.He died in 1922 while preparing for his fourth adventure.The stories of Robert Falcon Scott are also well-known:he and four companions died on their way back from the South Pole.So why do explorers put themselves at such risk?Much of it seems to lie in the purity of the challenge.Scott talked of the appeal of a place that had been “unreached and unseen by humans”.“With a view over shining lands covered by ice sheets of inconceivable extent,you have the feeling of living over the control of death,” said Fridtjof Nansen,a Norwegian explorer.On the homeward journey the weather turned and we were left for a few days at the mercy of a storm.We experienced a small taste of helplessness when faced with the raw power of nature.We should be grateful for the great explorers’ spirit and stories.I know I am.4.Why did the author begin his adventure tour?A.To assist a film crew.B.To realize a childhood dream.C.To memorize Lord Dufferin.D.To challenge a world record.5.Which of the following best explains “inconceivable” underlined in Paragraph 7?A.Hard to control. B.Too far to reach.C.Hard to imagine. D.Too bright to view.6.What happened during the writer’s journey?A.They were trapped in icebergs.B.They were kept off the destination.C.They were attacked by a storm.D.They were rescued by explorers.7.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.The Appeal of the Ends of the WorldB.The Dream of Traveling to the ArcticC.The Victory over the Control of DeathD.The Gratitude to Great Explorers’ SpiritCThe “laugh out loud” face is officially the world’s most popular emoji,according to researchers from Adobe (ADBE) who surveyed 7,000 users across the United States,the United Kingdom,Germany,France,Japan,Australia,and South Korea.The “thumbs up” emoji came in second,followed by the “red heart” emoji.The flirtatious(挑逗的) “wink and kiss” and “sad face with tears” emojis respectively rounded out the top five.The software maker on Thursday released the findings from its 2021 Global Emoji Trend Report ahead of World Emoji Day on Saturday.Adobe’s latest Emoji Trend Report also examined the three most misunderstood emojis in the world.The “eggplant” symbol edged out the “peach” and the “clown” emojis respectively as the most confusing for users.The vast majority of emoji users (90%) believe the modern-day hieroglyphs(象形文字) make it easier for them to express themselves.Eighty-nine percent of respondents said emojis simplify communicating across language barriers.And 67% said they think people who use emojis are friendlier,funnier and cooler than those who don’t.A slight majority of respondents said they are more comfortable expressing emotions through emojis than talking on the phone or in-person.More than half of global emoji users (55%) said using emojis in communications has positively impacted their mental health.Seventy-six percent of those surveyed said emojis are an important communication tool for creating unity,respect and understanding.And 88% said they feel more empathetic toward people who use emojis.8.Which is the third most popular emoji according to the survey?A.The “red heart” emoji.B.The “thumbs up” emoji.C.The “wink and kiss” emoji.D.The “sad face with tears” emoji.9.What do we know about the“eggplant” symbol?A.It is the least used in the world.B.It is the most confusing in the world.C.It is the most widely used in the world.D.It is the most encouraging in the world.10.How does the author develop the last three paragraphs?A.By giving opinions.B.By offering examples.C.By using some figures.D.By making classification.11.What do ninety percent of emoji users say?A.Emojis simplify communicating across language barriers.B.Emojis make it easier for them to express themselves.C.Using emojis in communications benefits their mental health.D.Emojis are an important communication tool for creating unity.DIt’s mid-February and along Britain’s south coast gilt-head bream (鯛魚) are swimming from the open sea into the river mouths.And this summer,countryside visitors throughout southern England will catch sight of blue flashes as small red-eyed damselflies fly across starry ponds.Both events are happening much further north than they would have 20 years ago.Fingers point at climate change.As areas become too hot or dry,many wildlife populations are declining,while some species are showing up in places that were historically too cold or wet.Our team,led by Alba Estrada,wanted to explain this phenomenon.If we could predict which species can and can’t colonise (移居于) new locations,we could decide which are most in need of conservation.How far individual animals or plant seeds can move was long thought to be the most important factor.But according to our findings,other characteristics also turned out to be highly important.For example,how quickly plants and animals can produce,how well they can compete with other species for resources,and what kinds of food they can eat or habitat they can live in.The result of this is that we might be able to predict which animals will survive under climate change.The wood mouse is found throughout continental Europe.As climate changes,we think the mouse will move north because it can breed quickly,lives in lots of habitats,has a broad diet,and individuals can travel a long way.On the other hand,consider the European ground squirrel.We think it might stay just in southeast Europe because it can only live in grasslands—and climate change won’t suddenly turn farms and forests into meadows (草坪).It’s encouraging to know that some species are doing well under climate change.There are some headaches,however.Those gilt-head bream are feeding on the local shellfish,which might be taking food away from the native fish.Small red-eyed damselflies look great,but they could become all too common around British ponds and outcompete native species.Climate change is once again posing us some tricky conservation questions.12.We can learn from Paragraphs 1 &2 that 　　　. A.people hold events to observe different speciesB.visitors have damaged the homes of many speciesC.species preferred the extremely cold and wet environmentD.climate change makes some species move to new areas13.What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.What factors can influence colonisation.B.How far individual animals can travel.C.Why some species are declining.D.Where most species tend to live.14.Which might stand the least chance of colonisation?A.Gilt-head bream. B.Red-eyed damselflies.C.Wood mice. D.Ground squirrels.15.What’s the team’s attitude towards the colonisation?A.Ambiguous. B.Doubtful.C.Objective. D.Optimistic.Ⅱ.閱讀七選五Flamenco is a typical dance and music in the south of Spain,concretely in the Andalusian region.　1　 The roots of Flamenco come from different cultures and countries such as Morocco,Egypt,and India.　2　Among the Spanish cities with more tradition in Flamenco are Cadiz,Granada,and Sevilla. 　3　 They are a good singer,a Spanish guitar,and a good dancer.Normally,the scene of a Flamenco show is a plank floor,and it can be in any theater or bar...but for something different in Granada,you can see Flamenco in typical caves where families of gypsy people lived in ancient times. Flamenco is divided into two groups,the group of singers and the group of dancers.The group of singers is normally formed of men who sing and play the Spanish guitar.　4　 The men usually wear black suits,and the soles of their shoes are metal. The group of dancers is usually formed of women.　5　 The most beautiful thing in this part is how fast they can move their feet and the sound you can listen to.The sound of the shoes has the same rhythm as the music.It’s wonderful!It’s common,too,to see a couple of dancers—a girl and a boy dancing together. A.Flamenco is definitely a great art!B.The women help them by clapping their hands.C.They wear beautiful and colorful flounce dresses.D.There are three principle things needed to do Flamenco.E.However,the first traces of Flamenco in Spain date back to 1760.F.The sound from the soles of the dancers’ shoes made me feel happy.G.It was brought to Spain by gypsy people coming from Eastern Europe in the 15th century. 答案：Ⅰ.【語篇導讀】這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了四座顏色很特別的山。1.A　解析細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段中的“...andwhatmayattractyourattentionisthatthey’realsoblessedinbeingcoveredwithagrassyanduniqueforestthatishometoanumberofrareplantspecies.”可知,除了顏色,不尋常的植物可能會讓你感興趣。2.C　解析細節(jié)理解題。根據倒數第二段可知,圣維克托瓦爾山成為PaulCezanne繪畫的永恒主題。3.B　解析細節(jié)理解題。根據最后一段中的“Butwaitaminute:Therearecertainareasthatrequireobtainingspecificpermitsinadvancetoexplorethem,sodoyourhomeworkfirst.”可知,當你參觀VermilionCliffsNationalMonument時,需要特別注意的是在探索前獲得許可。【語篇導讀】這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者為了實現童年去南極的夢想,跟隨一個來自北愛爾蘭的電影攝制組旅行,介紹了一路上的所見所聞和所感。4.B　解析細節(jié)理解題。根據第一段中的“Asaboy,IwantedtogototheSouthPole.Asateenager,IdecidedI’dliketogototheNorthPoletoo.”可知,作者開始他的冒險之旅是為了實現童年的夢想。5.C　解析詞義猜測題。根據倒數第二段中提到的“unreachedandunseenbyhumans”以及畫線詞上文“Withaviewovershininglandscoveredbyicesheetsof”可知,南極是人類無法觸及和看不見的地方,所以看到的是“覆蓋著難以想象的冰蓋的閃亮土地”,故選C項“難以想象”。6.C　解析細節(jié)理解題。根據最后一段中的“Onthehomewardjourneytheweatherturnedandwewereleftforafewdaysatthemercyofastorm.”可知,作者在旅途中被暴風雨襲擊了。7.A　解析主旨大意題。文章主要講述了作者為了實現童年去南極的夢想,跟隨一個來自北愛爾蘭的電影攝制組旅行,介紹了一路上的所見所聞和所感。由此可知,A選項“世界盡頭的吸引力”最符合文章標題。【語篇導讀】本文是新聞報道。7月15日,Adobe發(fā)布了《2021年全球表情符號趨勢報告》;“笑哭”表情符號成為全球最流行的表情符號,“點贊”和“紅心”表情分別位列二三名。8.A　解析細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段的第一句“The‘thumbsup’emojicameinsecond,followedbythe‘redheart’emoji.”可知,紅心表情符號排列第三。9.B　解析細節(jié)理解題。根據第四段中的“The‘eggplant’symboledgedoutthe‘peach’andthe‘clown’emojisrespectivelyasthemostconfusingforusers.”可知,“茄子”險勝“桃子”和“小丑”,成為最讓網友感到困惑的表情符號。10.C　解析推理判斷題。根據最后三段中提到的“Thevastmajorityofemojiusers(90%)”“Eighty-ninepercentofrespondents”“And88%...”等可知,文章最后三段是用具體的數字來說明的。11.B　解析細節(jié)理解題。根據第五段的第一句“Thevastmajorityofemojiusers(90%)believethemodern-dayhieroglyphsmakeiteasierforthemtoexpressthemselves.”可知,絕大多數表情符號用戶(90%)認為這種現代圖像符號讓他們更容易表達自己。【語篇導讀】這是一篇說明文。氣候變化使一些物種遷移到新的地區(qū),作者的研究團隊試圖解釋這個現象,并對這個現象帶來的利弊進行了分析。12.D　解析推理判斷題。根據第一段中的“It’smid-Februaryand...assmallred-eyeddamselfliesflyacrossstarryponds.”和第二段中的“Fingerspointatclimatechange...inplacesthatwerehistoricallytoocoldorwet.”可知,氣候變化使一些物種遷移到新的地區(qū)。13.A　解析主旨大意題。根據第四段中的“Howfarindividualanimalsorplantseedscanmovewaslongthoughttobethemostimportantfactor.Butaccordingtoourfindings,othercharacteristicsalsoturnedouttobehighlyimportant.”和第三段中的“Ifwecouldpredictwhichspeciescanandcan’tcolonisenewlocations,wecoulddecidewhicharemostinneedofconservation.”可知,第四段主要是講什么因素可以影響物種的移居。14.D　解析推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段最后兩句可知,歐洲地松鼠可能會留在東南歐,無法移居。而根據第一段中的“It’smid-FebruaryandalongBritain’ssouthcoastgilt-headbreamareswimmingfromtheopenseaintotherivermouths.Andthissummer,countrysidevisitorsthroughoutsouthernEnglandwillcatchsightofblueflashesassmallred-eyeddamselfliesflyacrossstarryponds.”和第五段中的“ThewoodmouseisfoundthroughoutcontinentalEurope.Asclimatechanges,wethinkthemousewillmovenorthbecauseitcanbreedquickly,livesinlotsofhabitats,hasabroaddiet,andindividualscantravelalongway.”可知,金頭鯛、紅色眼睛的小豆娘和木老鼠都可以移居,所以歐洲地松鼠最不可能移居。15.C　解析推理判斷題。根據最后一段中“It’sencouragingtoknowthatsomespeciesaredoingwellunderclimatechange.Therearesomeheadaches,however.”可知,團隊對動物移居的態(tài)度是客觀的。Ⅱ.【語篇導讀】本文是說明文。弗拉門科是西班牙安達盧西亞地區(qū)的地方舞蹈。它融舞蹈、歌唱、器樂于一體,過去流行在西班牙南部,現在已擴展到西班牙的廣大地區(qū),并正在成為整個西班牙的代表性藝術之一。1.G　解析上文提到“弗拉門科是西班牙南方地區(qū)典型的舞蹈和音樂形式”,G項中的It指的就是Flamenco,而且語意與上文相符。2.E　解析上文提到摩洛哥、埃及和印度,下文提到西班牙。由此可知,所填的句子應是引出下文的過渡句子,所以填E項。3.D　解析下文中的“...agoodsinger,aSpanishguitar,andagooddancer”和D項中的“threeprinciplethings”相吻合。4.B　解析根據下文的“Themenusuallywearblacksuits...”可知,所填的句子應該提到女士。B項符合語境。5.C　解析根據前面的“Thegroupofdancersisusuallyformedofwomen.”可知,C項符合語境,其中的They指的就是“women”。
