Unit 2 Language课时练1阅读理解提速练学生用书P268(单独成册) 阅读理解A(2019福州毕业班适应性练习)Known as “The Man with the Golden Arm”，nearly every week for the past 60 years，James Harrison has donated blood plasma(血浆) from his right arm. The reasons can date back to a serious medical procedure.“When I was 14，I had a chest operation，”recalls Harrison，who is now aged 80.“My father said I had received 13 units of blood and my life had been saved by unknown people. So I said when Im old enough，Ill become a blood donor.”Soon after Harrison became a donor，doctors called him in. His blood，they said，could be the answer to a deadly problem.“In Australia，up until about 1967，there were about thousands of babies dying each year because of the rhesus disease(恒河猴溶血病)，”explains Jemma Falkenmire，of the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.Harrison was discovered to have an unusual antibody(抗体) in his blood and in the 1960s he worked with doctors to use the antibodies to develop an injection(注射)called AntiD which can prevent this disease.Harrisons blood is precious. Every batch of AntiD that has ever been made in Australia has come from Harrisons blood. He and AntiD are credited with saving the lives of more than 2 million babies，according to the Australian Red Cross Blood Service：Thats about 2 million lives saved by one mans blood.Harrison is considered a national hero，and has won numerous awards. He has now donated his plasma more than 1，000 times，but no matter how many times hes given blood theres one thing that will never change：“I look at the ceiling or the nurses，maybe talk to them a bit, but never once have I watched the needle go in my arm. I cant stand the sight of blood，and I cant stand pain，”he says.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了James Harrison用自己的血液挽救了超过两百万名婴儿生命的故事。1What was the main reason for Harrisons becoming a blood donor?AHe has a golden arm.BHe has precious blood plasma.CHis father encouraged him to help others.DDonated blood once made him survive.D解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“My father said I had received 13 units of blood and my life had been saved by unknown people. So I said when Im old enough，Ill become a blood donor.”可知，Harrison知道他的生命是被不相识的人救的，所以长大后要做一个献血者。故D项正确。2Why is James blood precious?AJames has the AntiD in his blood.BHis blood is more useful in treating the rhesus disease.CJames blood is the main source of AntiD in Australia.DJames has donated more plasma than other donators.C解析：细节理解题。根据第六段第一、二句可知，Harrison的血液宝贵的原因是他的血液是澳大利亚AntiD的主要来源，故C项正确。3How does Harrison feel when donating his plasma?ANervous.BRelaxed.CAnxious. DExcited.A解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I look at the ceiling or the nurses，maybe talk to them a bit, but never once have I watched the needle go in my arm.”可知，在献血时他看着天花板或者护士，也许跟护士聊一聊，但从来不看针扎进手臂。据此可以判断，他在献血时很紧张，故A项正确。B(2019广州调研测试)Petrol and diesel cars may still dominate our roads，but their days are numbered. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 per cent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 per cent by 2020.One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety”drivers concerns about running out of juice on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems，the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said，charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the US.A.Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years. Not that long ago，electric cars were met with distrust，and their large price tags drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity，recharging times，performance and price，the current generation of electric cars is starting to persuade critics. Plugin cars will soon give internal combustion engine models a run for their money.As well as advancements on the road，electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel，having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrolpowered outboard motors took over. Now，the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made，with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions. Were the US. to act on the studys findings and replace 87 per cent of its cars with electric vehicles，it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 per cent. However，because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles，they cannot claim to be completely emissionfree. That said，as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources，electric vehicles will become even cleaner.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了汽油车和柴油车将逐步被电动汽车代替以及电动交通工具在未来的发展。4Which is the best title for this passage?AMy Dream CarBHistory of Electric CarsCProblems with Petrol CarsDDriving into the FutureD解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了汽油车和柴油车将逐步被电动汽车代替以及电动交通工具在未来的发展。D项“驶向未来”形象地概括了文章的主旨，故选D项。5As used in Paragraph 2，the underlined word “hurdle” means“_”AaimBbarrierCconsequence DstepB解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“drivers concerns about running out of juice on a journey”可知，司机担心在路上没电的问题。因此，这是电动汽车普及的一个障碍，故选B项。6In the past，why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars?AThey were not good value.BThey were very poorly made.CThey were not widely promoted.DThey couldnt travel at a high speed.A解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Not that long ago，electric cars were met with distrust，and their large price tags drove customers away.”可知，人们是被当时这种电动汽车的价格吓跑的；根据该段中的“Thanks to.to persuade critics.”可知，随着电池容量、可充电次数的增加、汽车性能的改善和价格的优化，这一代电动汽车已经开始吸引消费者购买了。这说明以前的电动汽车在各方面还不够完善，人们认为不值那个价钱。故选A项。7What is the function of Paragraph 4?ATo introduce the history of electric travel.BTo explain why the world needs more electric cars.CTo show why more people have interest in electric cars.DTo describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.D解析：段落大意题。根据第四段中的“electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies”可知，除了在公路上，其他地方也可以使用电动交通工具。故选D项。C(2019洛阳尖子生联考)I love to read before I go to sleep. It usually makes me feel calm. But a big part of this depends on what I read. I love to read The Broons and Oor Wullie. Very often Im smiling before I go to sleep.I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress. Before we go to sleep, we may run over the day in our minds, and worry about tomorrow. We also may watch the news on TV, read the news on our smart phones or tablets, or even answer work emails. But the news is rarely proclaiming(宣告) all the good thats happening in the world and work emails make us feel that were still at work. All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.The Broons and Oor Wullie is not the only thing I ever read at night. I sometimes read novels but, with the odd exception, I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless its something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating, when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up a trusty old The Broons and Oor Wullie for the last 10 or 15 minutes. Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure I get a peaceful nights sleep. Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a comfort blanket for me.Id suggest you find lighthearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime, especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time, or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day. It is the thing that can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh, then you may feel even better. Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain and strengthens the immune system. Laughter is good for the heart, and it is most definitely good for mental health. It even helps us improve our relationships.And if you do happen to pick up a copy of The Broons and Oor Wullie, I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过叙述自己睡前的一些阅读习惯，告诉人们如何减少睡前的压力以及睡前保持好心情的重要性。8What can we learn about The Broons and Oor Wullie?AIt makes people run over the past days.BIt is the best book to be read before people sleep.CIt is extremely popular with young people.DIt makes people feel relaxed and happy.D解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I love to read The Broons and Oor Wullie.

The EU. promotes cycling via many measures primarily to achieve sustainable(可持续的) clean and energyefficient transport systems. However, despite the fact that the benefits outweigh the risks by 201, many consider the risks too great and that the fear of danger on the road needs to be handled. Cycle lanes(车道) have been used to improve cyclists safety and encourage more cyclists onto the road. This research in transport aims to study the effect of cycle lanes on cyclists safety where passing space given by overtaking(超车) vehicles is concerned.In this study, the authors used a bicycle equipped with cameras to record vehicle overtaking in varying road situations to determine whether cycle lanes, color block cycle lanes or no cycle lanes affect passing distances and cyclists safety. Their 3 comparisons measuring vehicle passing widths found greater overall distances given with a cycle lane than without. Color block vs. uncolored cycle lanes showed little or no difference, as did no cycle lanes vs. color block cycle lanes. Color block lanes had a slight negative effect suggesting that drivers are more careful when cycle lanes have less definition(清晰度)Interestingly, the authors conclude that other factors have a far greater effect on cyclists safety than presence or absence of cycle lanes. Road width, parking, opposite vehicle flow and speed were key influences on decreased passing widths. The authors also note that driver behaviour is a hugely important factor and urge more research in this area.“In order to reduce risks and encourage more cycling, reducing and calming the existing motorised traffic must be explored first.” They suggest，“Lane width is the most significant variable(变量) to achieve a sufficient vehicle passing distance. The narrow cycle lanes (2m) may be not enough. Reconsideration of the entire road design and further exploration of driver behavioural factors are required.”【解题导语】本文主要讲述了为了实现可持续的清洁和节能的交通系统，欧盟大力推广使用自行车，并指出在自行车的推广过程中要解决安全的问题。12What is the main purpose of the EU.s promoting cycling?ATo reduce air pollution.BTo build better transport systems.CTo improve peoples health.DTo help people save money on transport.B解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“The EU. promotes cycling via many measures primarily to achieve sustainable(可持续的) clean and energyefficient transport systems.”可知，欧盟通过多种途径推广使用自行车主要是为了建立可持续的清洁和节能的交通系统，故B项正确。13According to the study, color block lanes may_Amake drivers a bit carelessBcause no overtakingCget cyclists to feel saferDlead to greater passing distancesA解析：推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Color block lanes had a slight negative effect suggesting that drivers are more careful when cycle lanes have less definition(清晰度)”可知，彩色车道有轻微的负面效应，当自行车车道清晰度较低时驾驶员要更小心。据此可以判断，彩色车道会使驾驶员变得粗心，故A项正确。14In the researchers eyes, the first step to encourage more cycling is to_Aredesign and rebuild the roads in a cityBdo more research in public bicycle programsCrestrict the number of vehicles running on the roadDmake strict traffic rules to control driver behaviourC解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In order to reduce risks and encourage more cycling, reducing and calming the existing motorised traffic must be explored first.”可知，为了降低风险，鼓励更多地使用自行车，首先要减少现有的机动车辆，即控制路上的机动车的数量，故C项正确。15The authors of the research think that drivers behaviour_Aneeds further explorationBis an unimportant factorCmakes cycle lanes narrowerDis the most significant variableA解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Reconsideration of the entire road design and further exploration of driver behavioural factors are required”可知，需要对驾驶员的行为因素做进一步探索，故A项正确。 七选五(2019兰州高三诊断)What is friendship?
