课时跟踪练(三) Lesson 2 & Lesson 3 Pre-reading.阅读理解AIn 1941, a poor Polish farmwoman Zofia Banya traveled from the countryside to Israel Rubineks village store, but found she didnt have enough money to pay for the things she needed.Israel Rubinek, an outgoing 21yearold shopkeeper, told Zofia not to worry: Theyd settle up the next time she came to Pinczow, in Germanoccupied Poland, to sell butter and eggs.It was wartime and hardly anyone offered credit.Who knew what life would be like a day later, let alone a week? In 1943, when Jews were being killed or rounded up into concentration camps, Zofia sent word through a friend asking Israel and his young wife Frania to come to her farm.The Polish woman had little to offer, but she could shelter them.Her action involved extreme danger.People could be shot for harboring Jews.“I felt so much pity for them it was impossible to betray (背叛) them，” Zofia says in the documentary So Many Miracles, made by the Rubineks only child, Saul, a Canadian actor and director.She sheltered the Rubineks for almost two and a half years.In 1986, Saul returned to Poland with his parents, who were going back for the first time in 40 years, to visit Zofia. Saul documented their emotional reunion in the documentary and in a book of the same title.The Banyas and Rubineks lived together, sharing one whitewashed, dirtfloored room.There was a little space dug out beneath the woodstove where the Rubineks hid when neighbors or the authorities came.German soldiers commandeered (强占) the room one night and slept inches away from the terrified Rubineks.Israel had a cough that he could not control.Zofias son, Maniek, who was a 7yearold child at the time, felt a moral duty to safeguard the couple: he purposely coughed restlessly through the night so the soldiers wouldnt hear Israel.After the Second World War, the Rubineks moved to Montreal, Canada.But Saul and his parents didnt forget Zofia.From the moment they arrived and until they died Israel in 1996, Frania in 2000 Israel and Frania regularly sent money to Zofia.“Of course my parents lives were saved because of the kindness of this woman，” says Saul, 62.“She and her family risked their lives to save my parents.”语篇解读：本文是记叙文。二战期间，一名犹太店主给一位波兰农妇行了个方便，后来这位妇女冒着极大危险让犹太店主和他的妻子在自己的农场避难。1.What happened in 1943?AIsrael came to Franias farm.BZofia protected the Rubineks.CZofia borrowed money from Israel.DThe Rubineks were sent to concentration camps.解析：选B推理判断题。由第二段中的“In 1943 .Zofia sent word through a friend asking Israel and his young wife Frania to come to her farm .but she could shelter them.”可知，1943年的时候，Zofia保护了Rubinek夫妇。2What does Sauls film record?AZofias terrible sufferings during the war.BChanges in Zofias family during the war.CHis familys meeting with Zofia long after the war.DHis parents life in Montreal, Canada after the war.解析：选C细节理解题。由第四段中的“Saul documented their emotional reunion in the documentary”可知，这部纪录片记录了多年以后Saul和父母回到波兰看望Zofia的经历。3What happened when the German soldiers stayed in the house?AThe Rubineks escaped from the house.BThe Germans discovered the Rubineks.CManiek managed to protect the Rubineks.DZofia fought against the German soldiers.解析：选C细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“Zofias son, Maniek, who was a 7yearold child at the time, felt a moral duty to safeguard the couple：he purposely coughed restlessly through the night so the soldiers wouldnt hear Israel.”可知，在德国兵留宿的那个晚上，Maniek成功保护了Rubinek夫妇。4How does Sauls family feel about Zofia?ARather embarrassed.BExtremely grateful.CVery disappointed.

He said, “Kwame, I love those Basketball Rules you have in The Crossover.You should think about writing a whole book on those.” Thats where it all began.TFK：Is it hard to mix sports and poetry (诗歌)?Alexander：I love sports, and Ive been writing poetry since I was a kid.So those two things are as natural to me as breathing, laughing and walking.TFK：Youve said teachers need to make learning poetry fun.Did you have a teacher like this as a kid?Alexander：My mom.She read poetry to my sisters and me when I was a kid, and she would make the words jump off the page!TFK：What advice would you give to young writers?Alexander：Read everything you can get your hands on.The best way to become a good writer is to read what other people have written.5.What can we learn about The Playbook?AIt is a historical novel.BIt won the Newbery Medal.CIt is actually about rules for life.DIt is based on Alexanders true life.解析：选C细节理解题。由The Playbook的副标题52 Rules to Aim, Shoot, and Score in This Game Called Life和文中Alexander解释写这本书的目的a book that is telling them how to make their lives better可知，The Playbook是一本关于人生法则的书。6Who inspired Alexander to write The Playbook?AHis mom who read poetry to him.BThe teacher who taught him poetry.CHis friend who read The Crossover.DThe two characters in The Crossover.解析：选C细节理解题。由文中的“a friend of mine .love those Basketball Rules .in The Crossover .think about writing a whole book on those”可知，一位读过Alexander诗体小说The Crossover的朋友非常喜欢其中的Basketball Rules，因而启发他创作了The Playbook。7When Alexander was a kid, how did he feel about poetry?AIt was rather boring. BIt was quite difficult.CIt was pretty mysterious. DIt was very interesting.解析：选D推理判断题。由文中的“Ive been writing poetry since I was a kid”和“My mom .would make the words jump off the page！”可知，小时候常常给Alexander读诗歌的妈妈能使那些诗词跃然纸上，由此推测在妈妈的影响下，从小就喜欢写诗的Alexander觉得诗歌很有意思。8In Alexanders mind, whats important to become a good writer?AAlways dream big.BGladly accept challenges.CRead as much as possible.DHave a wide knowledge of poetry.解析：选C细节理解题。由最后一部分Alexander给那些想成为优秀作家的年轻人的建议“Read everything you can get your hands on.”可知。CPeople who do not get enough vitamin C may feel tired.Their legs may hurt.Their gums (牙龈) may begin to bleed and even fall out.These are the symptoms of scurvy (坏血病)In the 1800s, sailors often spent long time at sea.Thats why many developed scurvy.While looking for more information about scurvy, 14yearold Amber Cui saw some dietary guidelines that recommended eating vitaminCrich fruits and vegetables raw.Amber hates raw green peppers, but doesnt mind them cooked.So she began to wonder what cooking does to vitamin C levels of vegetables.Raw peppers indeed had the most vitamin C, she found.Ten minutes of boiling reduced the vitamin C level by about 25 percent.But as the peppers were boiled for 20 or 30 minutes, she says, the vitamin C level began to rise again.This might be because after being boiled for that long, the peppers begin to lose water.That could concentrate (浓缩) the vitamin in the vegetable.Most people probably dont blend their peppers before they eat them. But we do chew and digest them.Thats how the body is able to break down the hard cell walls of plants to approach their vitamins, notes Anitra Carr. She studies the health effects of vitamin C at the University of Otago in Christchurch, New Zealand.Ambers pepper results are similar to other scientific findings, Carr says. “The amount of vitamin C in foods generally decreases with cooking，” she notes.The vitamin can go into the water in which peppers are cooked.Heat and other chemical processes can also break it down.But we might still get more vitamin C from some cooked vegetables than raw, Carr says.How? Cooking or blending can soften and break up plant cell walls, she explains.This can make it easier for the body to use the vitamins inside.9.Why did many sailors develop scurvy?AThey lacked good sources of vitamin C.BThey lived an unbalanced life.CThey ate too much seafood.DThey often got wounded.解析：选A推理判断题。由第一段“People who do not get enough vitamin C may .In the 1800s, sailors often spent long time at sea.Thats why many developed scurvy.”可知，水手因为缺少维生素C的来源，所以会得坏血病。10Why did Amber Cui do the experiment?ATo prove dietary guidelines are correct.BTo encourage people to eat green peppers.CTo find the best way to preserve vitamin C levels of vegetables.DTo know the link between cooking and vitamin C levels of vegetables.解析：选D细节理解题。由第二段“So she began to wonder what cooking does to vitamin C levels of vegetables.”可知，她做实验是为了知道维生素C和烹饪的关系。11What did the findings of Amber Cuis experiment indicate?ACooking can damage vitamin C in vegetables.BCooking increases vitamin C levels of vegetables.CVegetables should be boiled for over twenty minutes.DGreen peppers should be eaten raw for their vitamin C.解析：选A推理判断题。由倒数第二段“Ambers pepper results are similar to other scientific findings, Carr says.The amount of vitamin C in foods generally decreases with cooking， she notes.”可知，她的实验表明烹饪会破坏蔬菜中的维生素C。12What do we know about vitamin C according to Anitra Carr?AWe should eat vegetables raw for more vitamin C.BAmbers pepper results dont confirm previous findings.CVitamin C disappears when plant cell walls are broken down.DOur bodies consume vitamin C better from cooked vegetables.解析：选D细节理解题。由最后一段“But we might still get more vitamin C from some cooked vegetables than raw”以及“This can make it easier for the body to use the vitamins inside.”可知，食物加工后，我们更容易吸收其中的维生素C。.阅读七选五At a weekly local gathering, our hostess, Harshida, told us that her house had been getting egged lately._1_ After all, her family is one of the kindest and most generous families that I have ever met.Harshida revealed (揭示) how just last Friday she and her husband heard loud hitting noises at their windows._2_ “When I managed to take a look secretly, I saw a mixture of eggs, oranges, and such coming at our window.” _3_ Armed only with her belief that “all strangers are my relatives”， she went outside to see “three cute kids”Rather than scold (责骂) them, Harshida tried to connect, “Hey guys, thank you for the oranges.Can I have them so they do not go to waste？” But the kids started to run.Harshida walked after th
