课时提能练(三十三).阅读理解A(2019长春质检)When the telephone rings late at night，most women guess it must be one of only four or five people calling.A sister? Maybe.An emergency? Possibly.A mother? Probably not at that time of night.Much more probably it is a close female friend calling to tell you that she is heartbroken because she has split up with her boyfriend again or perhaps simply that a good movie has just started on TV.At a time when families are spread far and wide and marriages often end in divorce，friendships are becoming more and more important.Erika，a 32yearold lawyer，is strengthened by her tenyear friendship with her married friend Jane.“I was very sick one night，so I called Jane at about 3：00 am.to talk about it，” she says.“She was very supportive and even came over to take me to the doctors.”As American TV shows like Friends have become more popular，many of us are beginning to see the value of such friendships.TV shows like this tell us that our romantic relationships may not last，but we need to keep in touch with our close friends if we want to survive.With Erikas family 200 miles away，it is Jane who keeps a spare set of keys to Erikas apartment and waters her plants whenever she is away.“Having Jane around gives me a certain amount of freedom.It is not the kind of thing that you could ask anyone to do，but she knows I would do the same for her.” Jane，who may move to a different city soon，is worried about leaving such a support system of friends.“My friends have more to do with my life than my parents and，therefore，I dont have to spend a lot of time explaining things to them.Friends are more up to date with what is happening.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文，以Erika与Jane的友谊和美剧Friends为例，讲述并论证友情十分重要的观点。1A latenight phone call for most women is probably from .Aa relativeBa friendCa doctor Da strangerB细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Much more probably it is a close female friend calling to tell you that she is heartbroken because she has split up with her boyfriend again or perhaps simply that a good movie has just started on TV”可知，深夜给女性打电话的可能是一个朋友，故B项正确。2What does the underlined phrase “split up” in Paragraph 1 mean?AShown up.BPicked up.CBroken up. DTaken up.C词义猜测题。根据第一段最后一句中的“Much more probably it is a close female friend calling to tell you that she is heartbroken because she has split up with her boyfriend again”可推知，更有可能的是，一位亲密的女性朋友打电话告诉你，她很伤心，因为她又和男友分手了，split up与break up意思相近，表示“分手”，故C项正确。3According to the passage，we can learn that Erika .Ais Janes male friend Btreasures Janes friendshipChas been married for 10 yearsDlives far away from JaneB推理判断题。根据最后一段的“My friends have more to do with my life than my parents and，therefore，I dont have to spend a lot of time explaining things to them”可知，Erika认为她的朋友比父母更多地参与她的生活，因此，她不需要花很多时间来向她们解释事情；据此可以判断，Erika很珍惜Jane的友谊，故B项正确。4Which of the following can be the best title for the text?AFriendship CountsBFriendship Demands FreedomCFriendship Needs UnderstandingDFriendship Strengthens RomanceA标题判断题。通读全文可知，本文以Erika与Jane的友谊和美剧Friends为例，讲述并论证友情十分重要的观点；故A项最能体现主题，适合作文章的标题。B(2019陕西检测)Its easy to keep your aging brain as quick as it was in college.Use a website full of brain games or download the right apps，and within 20 minutes youll be doing your part to sharpen your memory and slow the decline of your mental functions.At least thats what the companies behind this booming industry would have you believe.But is it true?Concrete proof about the benefits of brain games is hard to come by，experts say，when it comes to measurably improving aspects of mental fitness，like having a good memory.“People would really love to believe they could do something like this and make their brain better，but theres just no solid evidence，”says Randall WEngle，a primary investigator at the Attention & Working Memory Lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology.Thats not to say brain games are without benefits.Experts say these kinds of mental exercises can change your brain.The brain changes with just about everything you do，including mental training exercises.But numerous studies have shown that brain games lack what researchers call“transfer”In other words，repeating a game over and over again teaches you how to play the game and get better at it but your brain aging wont necessarily come to a stop.“Its like，you walk through fresh snow，and you leave a trace.If you walk the same route again，the trace gets deeper and deeper，”says Ursula Staudinger，director of the Butler Columbia Aging Center at Columbia University.The fact that structural changes occur does not imply that in general this brain has become more capable.It has become more capable of doing exactly the tasks it was practicing.【语篇解读】本文是一篇科普说明文。据说脑力游戏可以提高记忆力和延缓大脑功能的衰退，但是研究表明，脑力游戏仅能提高玩家对游戏技巧的掌握，并不能真正阻止大脑的老化；其作用还有待证明。5We can infer from the first paragraph that . Abrain games improve the memory Bbrain aging actually can be quitted Cpeople dont believe brain games Dthe author doubts the effect of brain gamesD 推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“At least thats what the companies behind this booming industry would have you believe.But is it true”可知，这个蓬勃发展的行业背后的公司会让人相信脑力游戏可以提高记忆力和延缓大脑功能的衰退，但作者对其真实性表示怀疑，故D项正确。6What does Engle think of the functions of brain games? AThey really make some difference.BTheir effects still need proving. CPeople like to be led by the nose.DPeople dont believe the effects.B 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“People would really love to believe they could do something like this and make their brain better，but theres just no solid evidence”可知，人们真的很愿意相信他们能做这样的事情，让他们的大脑变得更好，但是没有确凿的证据；据此可以判断，Randall WEngle认为这种游戏的功能还有待证明，故B项正确。7The underlined word in Paragraph 3 most probably means . Astopping the brain aging Bhaving the brain working Cmaking the brain more passiveDspeeding up the brain agingA 词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“In other words，repeating a game over and over again teaches you how to play the game and get better at it but your brain aging wont necessarily come to a stop”可知，多次重复玩一个游戏，会让你更加熟练地操作游戏，但大脑老化并不能停止；结合画线词所在句可知，很多研究都表明脑力游戏不能使大脑停止老化，故A项正确。8Which can be the best title of the passage?AGames Stop Brain AgingBUnavoidable Brain AgingCGames Roles Need ProvingDGames Improve Your BrainC 标题判断题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了能提高记忆力和延缓大脑功能衰退的脑力游戏，但是研究表明，这些游戏仅能提高玩家对游戏技巧掌握的能力，并不能真正阻止大脑的老化；游戏的作用还有待证明。据此可知，C项最适合作为本文的标题。.完形填空(2019昆明质量检测)A few years ago I chose a“word of the year”to practise.As I began in 2014，I looked forward to how the word“ 1 ” would shape the coming year.I planned to give a gift each day for the 2 year.Some gifts would take time to prepare，but some of the other gifts came about more 3 ，such as helping someone cross the street.But either way，I always tried to seek a(n) 4 to serve.Some gifts in 2014 5 reading to my next doors kids.I 6 reading as my gift of the day.My mind is still crowded with precious 7 now.Twice I 8 a few coins on the sidewalk for a kid to find.It may have cost a few 9 ，but I considered it a chance to 10 another persons day.Along the way，I also made my own day pleasant.One of my most 11 gifts throughout the whole year was letting other 12 go ahead of me in line at stores.For the sixth time, 13 standing in line at a store one day，my son told me somebody 14 us had only two things to 15 .I waved to the person to take our place in line.The few 16 minutes of wait time passed with my hardly realizing it.They were minutes passing 17 .Although this act of 18 didnt deserve something surprising，it remains one of my 19 gifts of 2014and all because I saw how my 20 to give had become part of my childrens lives as well.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者在2014年选择“礼物”一词作为年度词汇来塑造未来一年，并抒发了乐于助人，手留余香的感受。1A.luck Bgift Chealth DmoneyB 根据下文反复出现的“gift”可判断出答案为B。luck“幸运，运气”；health“健康”；money“钱”。2A.entire Bsame Cprevious DfinalA 根据第11空后的“throughout the whole year”可知，此处指整个(entire)一年。same“相同的”；previous“以前的”；final“最终的”。3A.formally Bregularly Cgradually DnaturallyD 根据空后的“such as helping someone cross the street”的举例可知，其他的一些礼物是自然而然(naturally)给予的。formally“正式地”；regularly“定期地，有规律地”；gradually“渐渐地”。4A.job Broutine Copportunity DexcuseC 但是无论哪种方式，作者总是试图抓住机会(opportunity)去服务他人。job“工作”；routine“常规”；excuse“借口，理由”。5A.involved Bsuggested Crequired DkeptA 2014年的一些礼物包括(involved)给邻居家孩子读书。suggest“建议”；require“需要，要求”；keep“保持，继续”。6A.turned down Blooked onCtook in Dput awayB 作者把给邻居家孩子读书看作(looked on)当天的礼物。turn down“关小，减少”；take in“吸收，欺骗”；put away“把收起来”。7A.events Bchanges Cmotivations DmemoriesD 作者脑海里现在仍充满了以前珍贵的记忆(memories)。event“事件，大事”；change“变化，改变”；motivation“动机，积极性”。8A.abandoned BmadeCleft DforgotC 根据上下文可知，作者再次把一些硬币留(left)在人行道上让小孩发现。abandon“放弃”；make“制造，使”；forget“忘记”。9A.cents Bchecks Cbooks DgoodsA 作者可能只花了几分钱(cents)。check“支票”；book“书籍”；goods“货物”。10A.shorten Bbrighten Cstart DappreciateB 根据空后一句中的“made my own day pleasant”可知此处表示照亮(brighten)他人的一天。shorten“缩短，变短”；start“开始，创办”；appreciate“感激，欣赏”。11A.expensive Bavailable Cexpected DrepeatedD 根据空处所在句中的“One of my most gifts”以及下文中的“For the sixth time”可以看出作者多次(repeated)送出这样的礼物。expensive“昂贵的”；available“可获得的，有空的”；expected“预料的”。12A.friends Brelatives Ccustomers DmanagersC 根据空后的at
