Uint 11 The Media 課時練1　閱讀理解提速練 閱讀理解 A (2018云南高三檢測一)My doorbell rings at 11 a．m. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady. She is small and slight. She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands. I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter, Nicole, bought the house next door last October.Nicole, who is currently in Shanghai, has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals. I know what is inside the paper carrier bag—a stainless steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp. This has bee an almostdaily occurrence. munication between my benefactor(恩人) and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is “ hello”. Once, she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right. “Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time，” I protested. “ I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land, like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her, ”I said. “Oh, no，” Nicole said. “Don’t worry about that. She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it for you. You can call her Wing, which is her surname.” The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well, so with her help, I have found out that Wing is 68—13 years younger than I am. For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain. So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak the other’s language. But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing. Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words—it’s the least I can do after such a display of kindness. “Thank you” is, of course, the first one, which somehow seems inadequate. 【解題導語】 本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者與鄰居之間的故事，鄰居是一位來自中國的老太太，對作者非常關(guān)照。 1. The author and Wing got to know each other________． A．a(chǎn)s next door neighbors B．when exchanging meals C．by sharing similar experiences D．a(chǎn)fter using an iPad to municate A　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的前三句“I know this lady...Her daughter，Nicole，bought the house next door last October.”可知，作者與這位老太太是鄰居。所以A項正確。 2．The underlined word “reciprocate” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”． A．do as well　　　　　　　 B．offer generously C．give in return D．a(chǎn)ccept with pleasure C　解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第五段第一句中的“Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time”可知作者認為老太太一直對自己那么好，而自己只是做一些本國的食物，是幾乎不能回報她的。C項意為“回報”，故選C。 3．The author’s effort to learn Mandarin shows her________． A．great satisfaction B．real kindness C．heartfelt thanks D．sincere friendship C　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“it’s the least I can do after such a display of kindness”可知作者認為學習中文是為了感謝老太太對自己的好。A項意為“極大的滿意”；B項意為“真正的友善”；C項意為“衷心的感謝”；D項意為“真誠的友誼”。 B (2018甘肅重點中學協(xié)作體高三第一次聯(lián)考)In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off. Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked lightheartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, a bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile. Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of headcutting! It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered(傳遞). Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and big winners do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising his patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he fails to get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver. Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toasted beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces. Had my neighbor told me of the uping rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh，that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轟炸的) person is sure to have. 【解題導語】　本文主要講述當我們要告訴別人不好的消息的時候，要注意說話的方式和語氣，還要帶有同情心。 4．From “Dreams of headcutting！”(Paragraph 3), we learn that the writer________． A．was reminded of the cruel pharaoh B．was mad at the sales agent C．wished that the sales agent would have bad dreams D．dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night B　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的描述可知，“我”對售票員的態(tài)度很惱火。 5．Which of the following is true? A．The author really appreciated the neighbor’s warning. B．From the passage we know that it is the bad news that makes someone angry. C．If the runner brought to the pharaoh unhappy news, he would be treated like a prince. D．When we want to deliver any bad news, we should share the feeling of the receiver. D　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的“Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.”可知，當告訴別人不好的消息的時候，應該帶有同情心，應該分擔消息接收者不好的感覺。 6．What is the main idea of the text? A．Receiving bad news requires great courage. B．Helping others sincerely is the key to business success. C．Delivering bad news with sympathy is important in munication. D．Learning ancient traditions can be useful. C　解析：主旨大意題。本文主要告訴我們當我們告訴別人不好的消息的時候，要注意講話的方式和態(tài)度，應該帶有同情心，分擔別人的憂愁。 7．In the writer’s opinion, his neighbor was________． A．not helpful B．not considerate C．friendly D．warmhearted B　解析：推理判斷題。第二段中的“As we walked lightheartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said...I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches.”以及最后一段中的“Had my neighbor told me of the uping rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning.”可知，“我”認為鄰居沒有同情心，不能為別人考慮。故選B項。 C (2018山西太原高三模擬) At 39 weeks pregnant most women would only be thinking of racing to hospital.But not Amber Miller, who set off to run the Chicago Marathon while expecting her second child any day.　 As she neared the final stage of the race, she began to feel pain in the stomach.But the determined athlete managed to cross the finish line in 6 hours and 25 minutes. Unbelievably the Chicago race was not even baby June’s first marathon—Miller ran the Wisconsin Marathon earlier this year, four months pregnant.She also ran another marathon when she was about four months pregnant with her son, Caleb. Although there was extra weight, the seasoned runner’s time was just 3 hours off her personal best. Miller began to feel pain near the end of the race, but she was not sure if it was labor(分娩), because she typically feels some pain when she runs while pregnant.After her race her husband drove her to Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield where she gave birth to the healthy 7 pounds, 13 ounce baby. Miller decided to run because she and her husband had already signed up for the race.The athletic mother said she experienced an enthusiastic wele from crowds as she ran along.But the devoted runner, who had pleted eight marathons, admitted that she did get a few strange looks along the course. “I know what I can handle.This is something I’ve been doing for a long time，” the experienced marathon runner said. June was born at 10：29 p．m.on Sunday night after seven hours’ labor.“She’s absolutely perfect，” Miller said.“We are extremely happy, but very tired.” After her surprising double achievement, Miller says she is planning to take some time off to concentrate on being a fulltime mom. 【解題導語】　本文講述了在芝加哥馬拉松賽上，Amber Miller已懷孕39周，但她堅持用6個小時25分鐘完成了馬拉松賽并在當晚產(chǎn)下了小女兒June。 8．What can we learn from the passage?

A．Caleb. B．June. C．Amber. D．Wisconsin. B　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的第一句及倒數(shù)第二段中的“June was born at 10：29 p．m.on Sunday night after seven hours’ labor.”可知，芝加哥馬拉松比賽結(jié)束后，Miller的小女兒June誕生了。故選B。 10．What can be inferred from the passage? A．People have different attitudes to Miller’s action. B．Miller will soon return for her favorite marathons. C．The baby was in danger at birth because of the race. D．Miller’s personal best in marathons was over 6 hours. A　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段中的“The athletic mother said she experienced an enthusiastic wele from crowds as she ran along.But the devoted runner, who had pleted eight marathons, admitted that she did get a few strange looks along the course.”可知，人們對Miller懷孕仍堅持跑馬拉松比賽有著不同的態(tài)度。故選A。 11．What is the best title of the passage?

A jog a day could keep your headaches at bay: regular cardio workouts(有氧鍛煉) may prevent migraines(偏頭痛), a growing body of research suggests. Migraine patients had fewer headaches after doing 40minute cycling workouts three times a week for three months, according to a Swedish study. The exercise routine worked just as well as one of the top migrainepreventing drugs—topamirate—but without side effects of depression and tremors(顫抖)． “Cardio workouts can help with regular headaches, too，” says Alexander Mauskop, M．D., director of the New York Headache Center in Manhattan. There are a couple of theories on how it works. “Breaking a sweat may relieve stress，” says Dr.Mauskop.Headaches are often triggered by stress, and if you remove the trigger, you release the pain. The feelgood chemicals produced when you exercise actually block your pain sensors, acting as a natural painkiller. Since headaches can be caused by many different factors like genetics(遺傳), lack of sleep, or certain foods, the cardio workout won’t be the solution for everyone, Dr.Mauskop says.But one German study found that it helped 65 percent of patients, which made it as effective as the best medicines on the market. Dr.Mauskop remends his patients do a halfhour reasonable intensity(強度) cardio workout, like jogging, biking, or swimming three times a week.These workouts are meant to be slow and steady, as opposed to highintensity intervals that alternate between allout runs and rest. Pushing yourself too much or increasing the intensity too quickly can trigger headaches in some people, so make sure your heart rate doesn’t jump above 150 BPM.If you don’t have a heart rate monitor, then breathe only through your nose.You’ll know you’re going too hard if you can’t keep up that breathing pattern. Your migraines could start disappearing in a couple of weeks, Dr.Mauskop says. 【解題導語】　本文是一篇研究報告。研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，有氧鍛煉也許能治療偏頭痛。 12．According to the passage, the author may agree that ________． A．jogging, swimming and fishing are cardio workouts B．neither cardio workouts nor topamirate has side effects C．migraine patients may be cured by regular cardio workouts D．cardio workouts will be the solution for everyone with migraines C　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“Dr.Mauskop remends his patients do a halfhour reasonable intensity(強度) cardio workout, like jogging, biking, or swimming three times a week.”可知，A項錯誤；根據(jù)第二、四段的內(nèi)容可知，B項錯誤，C項正確；根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段中的“the cardio workout won’t be the solution for everyone”可知，D項錯誤。 13．The underlined word “triggered” in Paragraph 7 can be replaced by “________”． A．cured B．released C．caused D．monitored C　解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上文的“Breaking a sweat may relieve stress”和畫線詞后的“by stress”可知，頭疼往往是由壓力引起的。由此可知畫線詞意為“引起”。故選C。 14．The feelgood chemicals produced can help regular headaches because ________． A．they ease stress B．they help break a sweat C．they prevent migraines D．they block your pain sensors D　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第八段中的“The feelgood chemicals produced when you exercise actually block your pain sensors”可知，選D。 15．What would be the best title? A．A Cure for Headaches B．Side Effects of Migraines C．The Causes of Headaches D．Advantages of Cardio Workouts A　解析：標題歸納題。本文講述了治療偏頭痛的好辦法——進行有氧運動。故選A。 七選五 (2018成都高三摸底測試)Traveling alone gives you the freedom to create your own schedule and do as you please. 1.________For example，a travel partner can provide practical support and share in the rewards of firsthand experience with unfamiliar locations and cultures.Here are several tips to find a travel partner who will improve your journey. 2．________Traveling should be fun.When you are on a trip，you will want to do lots of activities that you enjoy.Preferably，your panion will want to do the same things as you.
