贵阳市2014高考英语（新人教版）一轮阅读训练（24）附答案课时作业(二十四)必修5unit 4 making the news(限时：35分钟)阅读理解-amr. jones, of the manor farm, had locked the henhouses for the night, but was too drunk to remember to shut the door.with the ring of light from his lantern dancing from side to side, he drew himself a last glass of beer and made his way up to bed.as soon as the light in the bedroom went out, there was a big noise all through the farm buildings. word had gone round during the day that old major, the prize middle white pig, had had a strange dream on the previous night and wished to communicate it to the other animals. it had been agreed that they should all meet in the big barn(谷仓) as soon as mr.jones was safely out of the way.at one end of the big barn, major lay on his bed of straw comfortably. he was twelve years old and had lately grown rather heavy, but he was still a nicelooking pig, with a wise and easygoing appearance. before long the other animals began to arrive and make themselves comfortable after their different fashions. first came the three dogs, bluebell, jessie, and pincher, and then the pigs, who settled down in the straw immediately beside major. the two carthorses, boxer and clover, came in together, walking very slowly and setting down their vast hairy hoofs(蹄子) with great care for fear that there should be some small animals hidden in the straw. clover was a motherly big horse approaching middle life, who had never quite got her figure back after her fourth kid.boxer was an enormous beast, nearly eighteen hands high, and as strong as any two ordinary horses put together. a white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance, and in fact he was not of firstrate intelligence, but he was well respected for his steadiness of character and extraordinary abilities. after the horses came benjamin, the donkey, benjamin got angry easily. he seldom talked, and when he did, it was usually to make all such remarksfor instance, he would say that god had given him a tail to keep the flies off, but that he would rather have had no tail and no flies. alone among the animals on the farm he never laughed. if asked why, he would say that he saw nothing to laugh at.16all the animals came to the barn to _avote for a farm masterblisten to majors strange dreamcdiscuss how to win a prizedshare how to drive mr. jones away17according to the passage, clover was _aconsiderate and in good shapeboldaged and out of shapeca fat horse with a gentle heartda pretty horse with a nice character18what earned boxer high respect?ahis strong build and

among people laughing and not laugh yourself? well, apparently its because we have mirror neurons(神经元)in our brains.put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate(模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. this explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. but the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. a group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to(for example：“the hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed(in this example, actually taking hold of a ball)any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. however, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact(互动)indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent(相等物)for neuroscience of what einsteins theory of relativity was for physics. and the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else doeswell, perhaps youll understand why.20mirror neurons can explain _awhy we cry when we are

kid.”可知，clover是一匹很胖的马，但心肠很好，所以选c项。18b细节理解题。从最后一段的“he was well respected for his steadiness of character and extraordinary abilities.”可知boxer 因其性格平和、工作能力强而受到较高的尊重，所以选b项。19d推理判断题。从最后一段的“alonehe never laughed.if asked why, he would say that he saw nothing to laugh at.”可知，benjamin 觉得生活没有乐趣，没什么值得笑的地方，所以选d项。b本文是一篇科普说明文。介绍了镜像神经元的作用。20c推理判断题。从第二段的第一句话“every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate it”可知镜像神经元的作用就是当我们看到别人做某事，我们也会跟着做。21a词义猜测题。根据第三段镜像神经元对语言的作用，当人们听到“手抓住球”这句话时，神经元就开始起作用了，就像手抓住球这个动作真的发生一样。set
