Unit 4 Sharing .阅读理解AA new taxi service in Stockholm is offering its passengers a chance to relieve stress on the go.Theyve got psychotherapists(心理治疗师) occupying the back seats of the taxis,offering free consultations(咨询).The test was started by a company called Taxi Stockholm,which claims its the first project of its kind in the world.The idea was formed when the owners of Taxi Stockholm realized that people are more likely to talk about their problems on boring,quiet drives.They even have data to back up the theory:according to spokeswoman Natalia Santos,around 70 percent of people said their taxi journeys were a good time for reflection and that they often found their minds wandering.“And when you think about it,the drivers can even become like therapists,” she added.Mia Fahln,one of the psychologists on board,said that she would have to be flexible,because she wouldnt know exactly how long a trip could be.But she believed that a lot could be accomplished from even a short 10-minute journey.“A lot of people are lonely,” she explained.“There are so many single people in Stockholm.And a lot of the people I meet from abroad tell me theyre frustrated(挫败的) with Sweden.They say its really hard to make the acquaintance of people and that even when they try,the Swedes can be very quiet.”“Of course,youd not have to be lucky to catch these taxis,but if youre really excited about the idea,you could book a trip in advance.It will work out cheaper than seeing a regular therapist;an hour-long session with Fahln costs up to 1,200 kronor ($165),”Natalia Santos said.When asked if this was all a publicity stunt(作秀) in the wake of their new competitors,taxi-app service Uber,Santos denied(否认) it.She said that the staff at Taxi Stockholm were actually quite optimistic about being able to help people through their service.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了Taxi Stockholm公司将提供一种新型的出租车服务,即在出租车上配备心理咨询师来帮助乘客缓解压力。1.What can we know about from Paragraph 1?A.Most of the Swedes are suffering from stress.B.Drivers at Taxi Stockholm offer good services.C.Taxi Stockholm is the first to carry out the project.D.Psychotherapists charge a little during the drives.答案C解析细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知,Taxi Stockholm是第一个执行此类项目的公司。故选C项。2.What does the underlined phrase “back up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Support.B.Oppose.C.Improve.D.Test.答案A解析词义猜测题。根据下文中的“around 70 percent of people said their taxi journeys were a good time for reflection and that they often found their minds wandering”可知,这是支持理论的数据;由此可推知,back up意为“支持”,与support同义。故选A项。3.According to Mia Fahln,it may be hard to .A.make passengers feel happyB.deal with quiet passengersC.adjust properly to different routesD.perform well in a short journey答案C解析推理判断题。根据第四段第一句可知,由于不知道乘客的乘车线路有多长,所以Mia Fahln必须灵活应对;由此可推知,对于Mia Fahln来说,根据不同的线路来对心理咨询的时间作适当的调整也许有点难度。故选C项。4.It can be inferred from the passage that Stockholmers .A.are too shy to show their emotionsB.enjoy living a single and peaceful lifeC.may be concerned about the new serviceD.are considered hard to approach by foreigners答案D解析推理判断题。根据第四段可知,外国人很难与瑞典人交朋友;由此可推知,Stockholmers很难被外国人接近。故答案为D项。BJane Austen was born in the English countryside more than 200 years ago.She lived a simple life.She seldom travelled.She never married and she died from illness when she was only 41.However,people all over the world remember her.Why?It is because Jane Austen is the author of some of the best-loved novels in the English language.These novels include Emma,Pride and Prejudice,Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion.Jane completed her last novel Persuasion in 1816,but it was not published until after her death.Persuasion is partly based on Janes naval brother.Anne,the daughter of Sir Walter Elliot,falls in love with Captain Wentworth,a person of a lower social position.But she breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy.The breakup produces in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret.Eight years later,Wentworth returns from sea as a rich and successful captain.He finds Annes family on the edge of financial ruin.Anne and the captain rediscover their love and get married.Jane Austen once compared her writing to painting on a little bit of ivory(象牙),two inches square.Readers of Persuasion will see that neither her skill of delicate,ironic(讽刺的) observations on social custom,love,and marriage nor her ability to apply a sharp focus to English manners and morals has abandoned her in her final finished work.Persuasion has produced three film adaptations:a 1995 version starring Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds,a 2007 TV miniseries with Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penry-Jones,and a 1971 miniseries with Ann Firbank and Bryan Marshall.People who are interested in Jane Austen can still visit many of the places she visited and lived in.These places include the village of Steventon,although her family house is now gone.Many of the places Jane visited in Bath are still there.You can visit Jane Austens home in Chawton,where she did her best writing,and Winchester,where she died.【语篇导读】本文是一篇人物传记,主要介绍了英国作家Jane Austen的生平事迹以及她的作品风格,并着重介绍了她的最后一部小说劝导。5.What is the theme of Persuasion?A.Never regret what youve chosen.B.True love lasts forever.C.Be matched for marriage.D.Love waits for no man.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知,Anne同青年军官Wentworth倾心相爱并订下婚约。后来她因相信了朋友说的这样的婚姻不般配而忍痛同心上人解除了婚约,以后一直活在悔恨当中。八年后,Wentworth上校返乡,两人历尽曲折,结成眷属。由此可知,这部小说的主题是:真爱永恒。故选B项。6.Which of the following CANNOT describe Janes writing style?A.Her application of comparison.B.Her skillful use of irony.C.Her focus on manners and morals.D.Her delicate observations.答案A解析细节理解题。根据第五段第二句可知,B、C、D三项都在文中提到了,是她作品的特点,而A项没有涉及。故选A项。7.According to the passage,what do we know about Jane Austen?A.Persuasion is a novel about the life of her naval brother.B.She did not see Persuasion published when she was alive.C.She died from illness at her home in Chawton at the age of 41.D.Her last novel Persuasion is considered her most successful one.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,她生前并没有看到劝导出版。故选B项。根据第三段第二句中的“partly”可知,A项错误;根据最后一段最后一句可知,Jane不是在家里去世的,排除C项;D项文中未提及,也可排除。.七选五(2018浙江)Moving into a new home in a new neighborhood is an exciting experience.Of
