课时跟踪练(三) Lesson 2 & Lesson 3 Pre-reading.阅读理解AWhen I arrived at 6 am. in the hospital kitchen, Rose was already checking name tags (标签) on the trays (托盘)“Hi, Im Janet.” I tried to sound cheerful, although I already knew Roses reputation for being impossible to work with. “Im scheduled to work with you this week.”Rose, a middleaged woman, stopped what she was doing and looked closely over her reading glasses. I could tell from her expression she wasnt pleased to see a student worker.“What do you want me to do? Start the coffee？” I asked.Rose nodded and went back to checking name tags.I filled the 40cup pot with cold water and began making coffee when Rose yelled, “Thats not the way to make coffee！” She stepped in and took over. Nothing I did pleased her.Back at home, I stayed alone in my room, fighting back tears. I thought, “Maybe she didnt feel well. Maybe she had some trouble.” I decided to forgive her and try to get along with her.The next morning, I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things Roses way as much as possible.Over the next few days an amazing thing began to happen. My focus shifted from what she was doing to me, and I started seeing Rose as the person she was hurting. The icy tension began to melt away.Throughout the rest of the summer, we had numerous opportunities to work together. Each time she seemed happy to see me. As I worked with this lonely woman, I listened to her something no one else had done. I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care and her own health problems.That summer I learned a lesson Ive never forgotten. The world is full of people like Rose annoying, demanding, unlovable yet hurting inside. Ive found that love is the best way to turn an enemy into a friend.1What was Roses attitude towards the author the first day they met?APolite.BCurious.CDissatisfied.DUnashamed.解析：选C推理判断题。由第六段末的“Nothing I did pleased her.”可推断， Rose 与作者认识的当天对作者很不满意。2After getting home from work, the author _.Awas very tiredBfelt quite upsetCwas pretty lonelyDfelt generally unwell解析：选B细节理解题。由第七段中的“fighting back tears”可知，作者回家后感到很不开心。3What did the author do after her first day of working with Rose?AShe hurt Rose.BShe helped Rose.CShe ignored Rose.DShe tolerated Rose.解析：选D细节理解题。由第七段中的“I decided to forgive her and try to get along with her.”可知，与Rose 第一天合作后，作者开始包容Rose。4What can we infer from the text?ANever judge by appearances.BFriendship is love with understanding.CMisfortunes test the sincerity of friends.DMan has not a greater enemy than himself.解析：选B推理判断题。由最后两段尤其是文章末句“Ive found that love is the best way to turn an enemy into a friend.”可知，作者对Rose采取了包容的态度后两人关系变得和谐，作者逐渐理解了Rose，且两人最终成了朋友。据此可推断，友谊就是爱和理解。BEvery time your fingers touch your cellphone, they leave behind trace amounts of chemicals. And each chemical offers clues to you and your activities. By analyzing them, scientists might be able to piece together a story about your recent life, a new study finds.A molecule (分子) is a group of atoms. It represents the smallest amount of some chemical. Your skin is covered in molecules picked up by everything youve touched. With each new thing your skin contacts, you leave behind some small share of what itd touched earlier.Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) recently analyzed such chemical leftovers on the phones of 39 volunteers. The study was led by biochemist Amina Bouslimani. To explore those residues (剩余物), the UCSD team wiped the surface of each volunteers phone with a cotton swab (药签). The scientists also swabbed each persons right hand. Then the researchers compared the chemicals found on each cellphone.The scientists discovered as many of the molecules as they could. They then compared these to a database of chemicals. Pieter Dorrestein, a UCSD pharmaceutical chemist, had helped set up that database a few years earlier, which contains various substances, including spices, caffeine and medicines.Traces of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of different molecules turned up on each phone. The molecules reflected what had been in the body, and what each person had handled before touching the phone. From all these molecules, Bouslimani says, “We could tell if a person is likely female, uses highend cosmetics (化妆品), dyes her hair, drinks coffee, prefers beer over wine or likes spicy food.”Police already use molecular analyses to look for traces of explosives or illegal drugs. To date, Dorrestein says, hes never heard of police using phone residues to narrow down behavioral clues to search for a suspect. But detectives might one day use such data to track down someone who left a phone behind at a crime scene.语篇解读：本文是说明文。研究发现，通过分析遗留在手机上的化学物质可以了解手机使用者的生活方式。5By analyzing the residues on the phone, we can conclude its users _.ApersonalityBlifestyleCappearanceDintelligence解析：选B推理判断题。由第一段中的“By analyzing them, scientists might be able to piece together a story about your recent life”和倒数第二段中的“We could tell if a person is likely female, uses highend cosmetics, dyes her hair, drinks coffee, prefers beer over wine or likes spicy food.”可推知，通过分析遗留在手机上的化学物质可以了解手机使用者的生活方式。 6What was the first thing the researchers had to do for the study?AComparing different chemicals.BHiring volunteers with cellphones.CCollecting the chemicals from phones.DBuilding a database containing chemicals.解析：选D细节理解题。由第四段中的“Pieter Dorrestein, a UCSD pharmaceutical chemist, had helped set up that database a few years earlier, which contains various substances, including spices, caffeine and medicines.”可知，研究员们所做的第一项工作是建立数据库。7Whats the authors attitude towards the application of the research finding?ADoubtful.BDisappointed.CPositive.DUninterested.解析：选C推理判断题。由末段中的“But detectives might one day use such data to track down someone who left a phone behind at a crime scene.”可推知，作者对研究结果的实用性持认可的态度。8What should be the best title for the text?ACellphones will be used in more fieldsBMolecules are used to search for illegal drugsCYour phone may be home to various chemicalsDFingers leave telltale clues about you on your phone解析：选D标题归纳题。本文旨在说明手机上遗留的化学物质可以透露出手机使用者的一些情况，故D项作标题最能概括文章主旨。CIf youre a college student, who could blame you for not paying attention to that mounting student loan (贷款) balance? But once you graduate, your new monthly student loan bill will be hard to ignore. After all, missing a payment isnt like turning in a term paper late; debt collectors arent nearly as forgiving as your Chemistry 201 professor. What can you do to repay your student loans sooner?If you can manage it, repay your loans on the standard 10year repayment plan. Youll pay less interest and get rid of your loans sooner. And its a good idea to throw extra money at your bill when you can to speed up the process. If youre really troubled with cash, switch to an incomedriven student loan repayment plan. The government offers four options that make your payments a percentage of your income, so youll pay less when you earn less.Next, think about where you can cut costs elsewhere in your life so you can pay your loan bills. Focus on saving money in ways that make sense for your lifestyle. That way you wont feel deprived of (被剥夺) everything you enjoy, and you can cut out expenses that you truly dont need.Car payments can be especially costly. Consider giving up a car and signing up for Zipcar, car2go or another car sharing service if its available in your city. These companies let you rent a car hourly, which can help when public transportation wont get you where you need to go.Now its on to smaller expenses and some you might not even know youre paying. Its easy to sign up for a service that automatically charges you every month, such as the gym, ClassPass, Spotify or Netflix. Cancel them if youre not using them at least a few times a week. A service such as Truebill will track your monthly payments and show you which ones youre not using so you can cancel.语篇解读：本文是说明文。大学毕业后，很多人面临助学贷款的压力，该如何按时还贷呢？9What does the author aim to tell us in Paragraph 1?AMissing a payment is common for graduates.BThere are good ways to pay student loan bills.CPaying student loan bills on time is necessary.DSome students easily ignore their student loan bills.解析：选C推理判断题。由第一段中的“But once you graduate, your new monthly student loan bill will be hard to ignore. After all, missing a payment isnt like turning in a term paper late; debt collectors arent nearly as forgiving as your Chemistry 201 professor.”可知，作者想表明的是：必须按时还助学贷款。10What is a disadvantage of following an incomedriven student loan repayment plan?AYou will be offered only one option.BYou may end up paying more interest.CYou have to finish paying within ten years.DYou still need to pay more even when you earn less.解析：选B细节理解题。由第二段内容可知，十年还贷的方式利息会低一些，但要按照工资比例还贷，挣得少还贷也少，那么还贷时间就会持续得久，从而导致利息高一些。11What do the last three tips have in common?AThey all suggest cutting costs.BThey are all about small expenses.CThey all mean avoiding expensive services.DThey all help shorten the repaying process.解析：选A细节理解题。由文章后三段内容可知，作者给的三个建议主要是关于如何在日常生活中减少开支来还助学贷款。.阅读七选五While its wonderful to share a special trip and new experience with friends or family, theres an attractive case for traveling alone from time to time.
