课时提能练(二十三)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·湖北省重点中学考试)Don't have plenty of time for reading?If you are interested in non-fiction books,here are good choices for you.A Room of One's O w nThis essay by English writer Virginia Woolf is based on her several lectures given to two women's colleges at Cambridge University in 1928.In it,Woolf describes that it's circumstance not talent alone that allows men to be more successful at writing.Women,in other words,spend so much time cooking,cleaning,and tending to their children that they have no time left for art.To write well,therefore,a woman must have “a room of her own”.While on its surface,this essay appears to be only about writing,it is actually about wealth and class,freedom and imprisonment,and the power struggle between sexes.The Art of WarWritten by ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Zi,The Art of War is widely considered to be one of the best books about military strategy(军事战略) in human history.Consisting of 13 chapters,each dealing with a separate aspect about how to fight a war,the book has been translated into many languages and has thousands of editions.For centuries,it has been used to train military leaders for its detailed study of military strategy and effective leadership.Letter to My DaughterThis book of essays and poems by Maya Angelou,a respectable American poet,is written for “the daughter she never had”—the millions of women,both young and old,who she considers to be her “family”.From the viewpoint of a caring,older relative,this book contains lessons selected from her own life experiences,including the birth of her only child,a son,as well as the development and loss of friendship.A Brief History of TimeIf you're short on time,then why not read about,well,the creation of time?This book,first published in 1998 from brilliant scientist and mathematician StephenHawking,explores mindbending questions about the creation of the universe,including if and when it will end,and if so,how.Despite its heavy subject matter,Hawking addresses these questions in a way that's easy to understand,even for those who know little about physics.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了四本纪实类文学作品。

ALet us begin by saying what does not cause our dreams.Our dreams do not come from “another world”.They are not messages from outside sources.They are not a look into the future,either.All our dreams have something to do with our feelings,fears,longings,wishes,needs and memories.If a person is hungry,or tired,or cold,his dreams may include a feeling of this kind.If the covers on your body,such as a quilt or a blanket,have slipped off your bed,you may dream that you are sleeping on the ice or snow.The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has an effect on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold,discomfort,etc.) and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and interests you have now.This is why children are likely to dream of fairies,older children of school examinations,hungry people of food,homesick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream,here is thestory of an experiment.A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton.He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him,sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands.There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream,what we dream and what those dreams mean.Their explanations of dreams,though a bit reasonable,are not accepted by everyone,but they offer an interesting approach to the problem.They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that do not come true.In other words,dreams are a way of having your wishes carried out.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。

When we do gardening we need to use different ingredients to grow plants. Some of them are natural resources like water, soil, sunshine, and many things like this. Using these resources smartly is a part of sustainable gardening. Some simple techniques include: use less water and organic things to grow plants; try to store rainwater so that you can use them for gardening; try using less energy to drive devices; avoid using plastics in any form while gardening; reuse the leaves from your garden to fertilize them. These are the basic sustainable measures. To do so we need to have proper knowledge about gardening and its requirements so that we can use proper resources without wasting any of them.

课时提能练(二十四)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·长沙检测)We talk about people being“colour­blind”but very few of us are.Even those who describe themselves as colour­blind are normally just colour deficient.A strongly colour­blind person will still be able to tell 20 different colours,compared to the 100 or so that normal­sighted people see.Pingelap,a tiny island in the Pacific,is a beautiful spot but one that has a genetic trouble.It is known as Colour­blind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white.Not being able to see in colour is bad enough.But one islander,Herrol,who's a fisherman,also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burnt­out image.“I find it difficult to go outside in the sun,”he says,“because when it's sunny I cannot see to do my work.”But if being truly colour­blind is rare,why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap live in a totally black and white world?Well,we know that in 1780 the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami(海啸).As few as 20 people survived,one of whom was the king.It's believed he had a genetic fault that causes colour­blindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations.There is one advantage.Herrol can see well,really well,in the dark.So when it gets dark,Herrol and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish.They hang up flaming torches and the flying fish are attracted to the flames.“This type of fishing is fun,”Herrol says,“especially if we catch plenty.So even though it's hard work we enjoy it.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了色盲岛——Pingelap岛,以及该岛上居民色盲的原因、情况等。

1.What is Pingelap famous as?A.A tiny island.B.A beautiful island.C.A mentally troubled island.D.A colo ur­blind island.D [细节理解题。

根据第二段第二句“It is known as Colour­blind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white”可知,Pingelap岛因被称为色盲岛而出名,故D项正确。

]2.What can we infer about Herrol?A.He may stay at home when it's sunny.B.He is interested in burnt­out images.C.He likes taking photos very much.D.He doesn't live in Pingelap any more.A [推理判断题。

根据第三段最后一句中的“I find it difficult to go outside in the sun...because when it's sunny I cannot see to do my work”可知,他发现在阳光下无法看东西,所以无法工作;据此可以判断,阳光充足时他可能会待在家里面,故A项正确。

] 3.Why are about one­tenth of people in Pingelap colour­blind?A.Because Pingelap often suffers from tsunamis.B.Because the king had an unlucky marriage.C.Because the king's genetic fault played a role.D.Because the king made a serious mistake.C [细节理解题。

根据第五段最后一句“It's believed he had a genetic fault that causes colour­blindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations”可知,该岛的国王有导致色盲的基因,这是一种基因缺陷,他将这一基因传给了后代,所以岛上的很多人是色盲,故C项正确。

]B(2019·河北五校联考)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 well­being—doesn't have an exact equivalent(对应物) in English.It's often translated as coziness,or as blogger Anna West told the BBC,“coziness of the soul”.But,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,so achieving hygge is particularly relevant during this season.A typical hygge activity during winter could be enjoying delicious homemade food and light­hearted 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 that warm,fuzzy feeling you get after a walk through a forest with friends on a summer's day or a family barbecue in the park.Hygge is meant to be shared.【语篇解读】每年,丹麦人都会经历漫长而阴沉的冬日,可是丹麦却被认为是世界上最幸福的国家。
