Unit 3 The world of colours and light
一、阅读理解。

Imagine this scene: it’s blowing outside, and you snuggle (蜷伏) up on the sofa under a warm quilt, chatting and recalling with your closest friends.
That content, cosy feeling has a name in Danish —hygge. And, as Denmark recently won the title of “the happiest country in the world”, the concept of hygge is known to more and more people interested in finding ways to understand this concept.
Hygge —originally from a Norwegian word meaning well-being —doesn’t have an exact equivalent (等同物) in English. It’s often translated as coziness, or as blogger Anna West told the BBC, “coziness of the soul”. But, as professor Maren Spark explains, “Hygge was never meant to be translated. It was meant to be felt.”
Basically, hygge involves creating a warm, cosy atmosphere and enjoying it with your loved ones. Danish winters are long and dark and so achieving hygge is particularly relevant during this season. A typical Hygge activity during winter could be enjoying delicious homemade food and light-hearted conversation with friends —preferably in the warm glow of candlelight, or maybe sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub after a day spent skiing.
However, hygge isn’t only limited to the cold winter months —it can also describe th at warm, fuzzy feeling you get after a walk through a forest with friends on summer’s day or a family barbecue in the park. Hygge is meant to be shared.
1.The author asks the readers to imagine the scene in the first paragraph to_________ .
A. help the readers to calm down
B. introduce the topic of the passage
C. present the main idea of the passage
D. remind the readers of their past memories
2.What do the underlined words by Maren Spark mean?
A. The translation of the word “hygge” is not good enough.
B. O nly Danish speakers know what “hygge” means.
C. “Hygge” is easy to translate but hard to feel.
D. We can get the true meaning of “hygge” by feeling it.
3.Which of the following can be best described as a “hygge” activity?
A. Skiing in the cold winter months.
B. Living through long dark winters.
C. Taking afternoon tea with friends.
D. Walking alone in the forest.
4.The author writes this passage to_________.
A. explain
B. persuade
C. comment
D. advertise
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，举例说明丹麦语hygge只可意会不可言传，需要用心去感受。

1.B 【解析】推理判断题。

根据第二段首句“That content, cosy feeling has a name in Danish
—hygge.”可知，作者让读者想想这样舒适的场景就是为了引出hygge这一话题。

2.D 【解析】推理判断题。

根据画线部分前的“doesn’t have an exact equivalent in
English.”可知，画线部分的意思是hygge只可意会不可言传。

4.A 【解析】写作意图题。

根据文章内容可知，文章通过举例说明hygge只可意会不可言传，
所以本文是为了解释丹麦语hygge的意思。

__2__
Pollution caused by plastic is not new，but recent studies have shown the effect of microfiber on the environment.Studies show microfiber is ending up in our waters，which may come from waste water treatment factories.A 2015 study found it in fish from California.
Microfiber's effect on food supplies
Beyond the waterways，the researchers say microfiber may end up in soil and agricultural lands.__3__ This means there is much to be learned about microfiber and the environment.
Some studies have shown that microfiber ends up inside sea animals，like oysters.__4__ Researchers say that the fibers tend not to move into the tissue of the fish，but it needs more study.
Steps to keep microfiber from the environment
Until more information becomes known，there are steps to take to reduce the amount of microfiber in the environment.
People should use less of the artificial materials.If we already have those in our lives and we're using them，an important step would be washing them less.
