Module 1 课下能力提升（四）.阅读理解If you dont have time to read, you dont have time to write. The idea that we must be readers first in order to be writers is repeated throughout books on writing and is often the first piece of advice published authors give to ambitious novelists. “The more we read, the faster we can perform that magic trick of seeing how the letters have been combined into words that have meaning，” writes bestselling author Francine Prose in Reading Like a Writer.In a study done by the University of Florida, researchers surveyed students reading materials and habits. Upon analyzing their findings, the researchers concluded that students who read academic journals and literary fiction scored higher in terms of writing complexities (复杂事物) than those who read popular fiction or web content published on sites.However, Andrew Jarosz, a psychology professor at Mississippi State University, points out that this study had a relatively small sample size and says its too soon to draw the conclusion.“It could indeed be that reading complex materials leads to more complex writing，” he said. “Alternatively, what if those who are better writers prefer to read complex materials that mirror their own writing abilities? It is entirely possible that the relationship goes in the other direction.”Jarosz says other factors may also be responsible for why some people write at a higher level than others, including intelligence, working memory capacity and the ability to store and process information at the same time.Susan Reynolds, author of Fire Up Your Writing Brain, believes that deep reading thoughtful and slow reading thats rich in complexities and sensory details is essential for a better writer. She encourages writers to abandon television and commercial fiction and instead read poetry and literary fiction, which encourages a deeper reading. Research has found that deep reading is different from other types of reading when we skim for information.By reading, writers not only gather knowledge, but they also gain a better understanding of language, learn their writing styles, grow their vocabulary and most importantly, find inspiration.1What is stressed in the first paragraph?AThe difficulties of writing books.BThe way of reading like a writer.CThe requirements for being a writer.DThe importance of reading for writers.解析：选D推理判断题。第一段中的“If you dont have time to read, you dont have time to write”和“we must be readers first in order to be writers”等都强调了要想写东西，阅读很重要。2What does the study done by the University of Florida suggest?AWriting ability mainly relies on reading time.BThe level of writing can reflect what one reads.CWhat a person reads is determined by his writing habits.DWriting ability can show ones academic achievements.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Upon analyzing their findings .read popular fiction or web content published on sites”可知，这项研究表明一个人的写作水平能够反映他所读的书。3What opinion does Andrew Jarosz hold?ANo writers can get help from simple materials.BBetter writers prefer to read complex materials.CSimple materials can also lead to better writers.DAll writers usually like reading simple materials.解析：选B观点态度题。根据“Alternatively, what if those who are better writers prefer to read complex materials that mirror their own writing abilities？”可知，他认为也可能是因为擅长写作的人喜欢阅读那些复杂的材料。4Whats the last but one paragraph mainly about?AWhat deep reading is.BGood materials to read.CWhy deep reading is good.DDifferent types of reading.解析：选A段落大意题。本段主要围绕deep reading展开，介绍了如何读和读什么才能被称为deep reading，故本段主要介绍了什么是deep reading。.阅读七选五Whats the biggest problem with memory skills? _1_ There are many memory skills that work well, but youll forget them when you need them most unless you make using them a habit. So when you take the time to learn a technique, use it until it becomes automatic.Here are some for you to have a try.Use a storylist. As a child, I went to a party. There was a game that involved looking at a table covered in fifteen various items._2_ Finally, one boy won the prize by remembering all fifteen items. Later, I learned why he won. His father taught him a simple trick that none of us other kids knew. The skill is to tie the items together in an imaginative story._3_ When you learn a persons name, for example, tell yourself, “Remember that.”This signals your unconscious (潜意识的) mind to rank this input as more important.Know why you want to remember something, and how youll remember it. To remember a person, for example, ask why theyll be important to you in the future, imagine where youll see them next, and connect that to anything you notice about them. Seeing the importance of remembering really helps._4_Do you ever forget where you put your keys？You have probably tried retracing (追溯) your steps, at least doing it in your imagination. _5_ When you set the keys on the chair, see yourself walking in and setting the keys on the chair. You wont forget where they are.There are many more of these memory tricks. If you want them to be useful, though, dont just read about them. Make one or two memory skills a habit and start today.ATell yourself to remember.BWhere can you pick up these skills?CThe answer is remembering to use them.DIt is not easy for us to learn memory techniques.EWe had to write down as many items as we could remember.FAdditional connections can set the memory more firmly in your brain.GThis can work well, but even better is to prevent the forgetting beforehand.答案：15CEAFG.完形填空 Many language learners think their pronunciation is good enough because their teacher doesnt correct them too often or because other students can _1_ them. Pronunciation is the area which is _2_ the least attention to in language learning. Most teachers _3_ just let their students speak and stop them _4_ they say something completely wrong. Working on each students pronunciation in class is just _5_. Also, the students who are _6_ at pronunciation may be afraid that it will embarrass their classmates if they help _7_ their mistakes. If you believe your pronunciation is good enough to _8_ because it is good enough for your teacher and other students, you may be _9_ when you actually go to a foreign country. One of my friends was the best student in his _10_ class in Poland. When he went to America, he found Americans didnt understand _11_ of what he said. Your pronunciation may still be quite _12_ that of a native speaker. If this is the _13_， other people will find it _14_ to understand what youre saying and will not be comfortable with you. _15_， dont think you can communicate in a foreign language _16_ youve tested your skills on real native speakers. _17_ for native or nearnative pronunciation so that people you talk to can communicate with you _18_. In order to achieve this goal, theres _19_ that you will need to start thinking about pronunciation and _20_ time on it.1A.mistake BwatchCsurround Dunderstand解析：选D很多语言学习者认为他们的发音已经足够好了，因为他们的老师不经常纠正他们，或其他同学能够听懂他们所说的。mistake“弄错”；watch“观看”；surround“包围”；understand“理解，明白”。2A.fixed BdrawnCpaidDcalled解析：选C此句是本段的主题句，发音是在语言学习中最少关注的一个方面/领域。pay attention to“关注”，符合语境和搭配。fix ones attention on/upon .“留意，专心于(其中介词为on/upon)”；draw/call ones attention to“引起某人对的注意”，不合语境。3A.never BeverCevenDusually解析：选D从下文可知，多数老师通常会让学生继续说下去。这是多数老师通常的做法，故用usually。4A.only if Bif onlyCeven if Dif ever解析：选A只有当他们说的完全错了才会让他们停下来。only if“只有当(的时候)”；if only“但愿，要是多好”；even if“即使”；if ever“如果有过的话(如果发生过的话)”。从语境看，只有only if合适。5A.fantasticBimpossibleCnecessaryDimportant 解析：选B该句和下句是对本段第二句的解释。在课堂上纠正每个学生的发音是不可能的(impossible)。6A.poorBwellCgood Dstrict解析：选C从“that it will embarrass their classmates if they .”来看，这里是指发音好的同学的担心。be good at“在方面好，擅长”。7A.find out Bwork outCtry outDpoint out解析：选D判断“if they help .”中they指代“谁”是做此题的关键。从语境知，这里的they指代的是“the students who are _ at pronunciation”，因此，“他们”应该是“指出”同学们的错误，故用point out (指出)。 8A.communicate BtravelCpronounce Dexchange解析：选A从下文可判断，此处说的是“因为对老师和别的学生来说你的发音足够好，你就相信你的发音足够好而能够进行交流(communicate)的话，那么当真正到了国外你也许会感到很吃惊”。本文谈论的主题是“发音”问题，与此相关应是用语言进行“交流”，因此不能选择travel(背离了主题)，下文举例也说明了这一点。9A.happyBdisappointedCsurprisedDexcited解析：选C那么当真正到了国外你也许会感到很吃惊。10A.PolishBFrenchCGermanDEnglish解析：选D下文谈到他到了美国，结合常识可判断，在波兰时他是“英语”课上(英语)最好的学生。11A.noneBhalfCrestDlot解析：选B当他到美国时，他发现他说的话美国人听懂不到一半。none不能用在否定句中；rest常与the连用，构成the rest，即使加上the，此处也不对，因前面没有提到他说的话的一部分；lot也不能用，应该为a lot或lots才对。12A.near toBdifferent fromCfar fromDfrom far解析：选C你的发音也许仍然与生来就说英语的人的发音差别很大。far from“远离，远非”，这里指差别很大(暗含还能听懂一部分)。different from“与不同”，quite different from“与完全不同”，不符合语境。13A.same BmatterCcaseDfact解析：选Cif this is the case是常用语，意为“要是这样，如果这样的话”。14A.easyBbeneficialCconvenient Dhard解析：选D要是这样(指的是你的发音与生来就说英语的人的发音差别很大)的话，别人将会发现听懂你说的话“很难(hard)”，并非“容易”、“有利”或“方便”。15A.In conclusion BIn a wordCOn the contrary DIn short解析：选A这是作者根据学生的常见问题最后提一点建议，并非作总结，故不能选择in a word, in short。in conclusion在此相当于finally。16A.whenBuntilCunlessDwhile解析：选Bnot .until .为常见句型，意为“直到才”。17A.StandBLookCAimDAccount解析：选C从下文的“In order to achieve this goal”得到暗示。以母语或以接近母语的发音为目标，这样就会自如地和与你交谈的人交流了。aim for“瞄准，以为目标”。stand for“代表”；look for“寻找”；account for“解释的原因”。18A.smoothlyBdifficultlyCtrulyDpractically解析：选A练习发音就是为了能与人自如地交流，smoothly“顺畅地，流利地”。19A.no wayBno needCno doubtDno wonder解析：选Ctheres no doubt that .“毫无疑问”。为了实现上述目标，毫无疑问你需要开始思考发音问题，并在这上面花些时间。no way“决不”；no need“没有必要”；no wonder“难怪”。20A.takeBcostCspendDkill解析：选Cspend .on .“在上花费时间”，符合搭配和语境。kill time也能搭配，但通常表示“消磨时光”；take time的主语往往是“事物”，不是“人”。.语法填空You are the only person that you can and ought to rely on.Friends are of great _1_ (important) in our lives. It is _2_ (fortune) to have some devoted ones. However, there will always be circumstances _3_ which your friends will let you down.The only people who may give up their lives _4_ (save) yours are members of your family most likely one of your _5_ (parent). Parents share a bond with their children _6_ at times can be extremely strong. However, I am sure you have plenty of examples of _7_ you cant always count on your parents.We human beings _8_ (build) to survive on our own. In our world, we are the centre of it and it is natural that we put _9_ (we) ahead of others. Therefore, I suggest _10_ (learn) to stand on your o
