Unit 2 The United Kingdom Reading课时作业
Ⅰ阅读理解
A
(2019·河南五校高三下学期联考)I was getting ready to go to bed when the phone rang. This could not be good. My mind raced through the list of family members who might need help, but the voice was hardly familiar.
“Lindy, this is Lesley.” I didn’t know Lesley well. We did occasionally speak with each other, but to say we were friends was not appropriate. I asked what she needed. Perhaps something really awful caused her to reach someone she barely knew. Instead, she asked me, “Do you have room for a turkey? In your freezer？”W e__h a d__l o t s__o f__r o o m__i n__o u r__f r e e z e r, __and__in__fact,__too__much. “Sure，” I responded, “did your freezer break down？”“Not exactly，” Lesley replied, “but I will explain when I arrive.”
Minutes later came a huge freezer truck. Lesley stepped down and explained the lease(租约) of the grocery store her husband serviced had run out and that they had to empty all the freezers that very night. Thinking it was a shame to throw away all this good food, they decided to drop off food to anyone she could think of. Noticing our freezer was pretty empty, Lesley asked to fill it up. Our home was their last stop and anything left would have to be put in our freezer. An hour later, everything finished, I asked her, “When will you come back for all this？” Lesley laughed, “We don’t want it back. It is yours! Thanks for helping us out！” Then they waved goodbye and drove away.
“For helping them out？” We opened our freezer door. Inside were all expensive foods we never bought but often longed to try. We were struggling to buy groceries, yet it was not something we shared with anyone. However, our needs were met in an unexpected way, by that call, “Do you have room for a turkey？”

画线句表示“我们冰箱的空间很多，事实上，是太多了”；最后一段中的“Inside were all expensive foods we never bought but often longed to try.”暗示，作者真正想要表达的是他们生活困难，贮存的食物快吃完了，因此她家冰箱有太多的空间，故A项正确。

3．Why did Lesley call up the writer?

(2019·福州八县一中联考)If a city wants to hold the Olympics, it must submit a proposal to the IOC. After all proposals have been submitted, the IOC votes. If no city with the fewest votes is eliminated(淘汰), the voting continues, until a majority winner is determined. Typically, the Games are awarded several years in advance, allowing the winning city time to prepare for the Games.
In selecting the site of the Olympic Games, the IOC considers a number of factors,
and chiefly among them is which organizing committee seems most likely to stage the Games effectively. The IOC also considers which parts of the world have not yet hosted the Games. For instance, Tokyo, the host of the 1964 Summer Games, and Beijing, that of the 2008 Games, were chosen in part to popularize the Olympic movement in Asia. Because of the growing importance of television worldwide, the IOC in recent years has also taken into account the host city’s time zone. Whenever the Games take place in the U．S.A. or Canada, for example, American television networks are willing to pay specially higher amounts for television rights because they can broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hours.
Once the Games have been awarded, it is the duty of the local organizing committee —not the IOC or the NOC of the host city’s country to provide them with money. This is often done with a part of the Olympic television revenues(收入), and corporate sponsorships, tickets sales, and other smaller revenue sources. In many cases there is also direct government support. Although many cities have gained amounts of money by hosting the Games, the Olympics can be financially risky. If the financial gains from the Games are less than expected, the city will be left with large debts.

D解析：细节理解题。

A．The host city must be left with large debts.
B．There is no financial risk in hosting the Olympic Games.
C．The city may gain a lot of money.

Ⅱ七选五
(2019·河北九校高三下学期第一次联考)When the cold weather hits, swimming is probably an activity that’s far from your mind. 1.________. Here are some reasons why swimming in winter is great!
Work your muscles
Every time you swim, it is like doing a mini­resistance workout. Each kick and pull works your muscles more than you might imagine, especially your arms, shoulders and gluteus—the muscles that are inactive all day when you’re sitting at your desk. Swimming also works your abs(腹肌) and will reduce your waistline. 2.________．Lift your spirits
Exercise gives off chemicals in your body called endorphins(内啡肽). These cause a positive feeling into your body which makes you happy. 3.________. The repetition, movement and breathing can help you to relax and that’s why swimming is also regarded as a relaxing exercise.
4．________
Swimming is one of the best activities you can do all year round which benefits your body and your mind. Swimming has been found to increase blood flow to the brain, which leads to more oxygen. That means you’ll experience improved alertness, better memory and cognitive(认知的) function.
Meet new people
5．________. You can meet people from all walks of life when swimming. Have a chat in the lap pool, join a swimming club, or get involved in social water sports to get to know people in your community. Besides, the great thing about swimming is that you can do it—rain or shine. Although your backyard pool, the river, or beach cools down over winter, most inside swimming pools run heated pools year ­round, so you’ve got no excuse to stop swimming!
A．Good for your brain
B．Greatly beneficial to your body
C．These chemicals can control your thought and action
D．Swimming has been shown to reduce stress and tension

1．G解析：考查承上启下。

该空的前一句表明冬季的时候人们往往不再考虑游泳，空后一句“Here are some reasons why swimming in winter is great”说明下文将介绍冬季游泳的益处，G项中的But表明转折关系，G项在此处起着承上启下的作用。

2．F解析：考查段落总结。

3．D解析：考查细节支撑。

本段主题是“提升你的精神”，上文的“makes you happy”和下文的“help you to relax”“relaxing”暗示D项“已证明游泳可以减少压力和紧张”符合段意。

4．A解析：考查段落主旨。

本空是第四段的主题句，依据第四段的“increase blood flow to the brain...experience improved alertness, better memory and cognitive(认知的) function”可知，本段主要讲述了冬泳对大脑的益处，故选A项。

5．E解析：考查细节支撑。

依据下文的“You can meet people from all walks of life when swimming.”可知，游泳也可以是一种社交活动，这与E项中的“it’s also very social”相符。
