unit 3 a healthy life learning about language课时作业阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。amany animals recognize their food because they see it. so do humans. when you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. you can also use other senses when you choose your food. you may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. you may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. a few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. the giant panda（大熊猫）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. a kind of white butterfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. however, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. the bear eats fruits and fish. the fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. the diet of these animals will be different depending on the season. humans have a very varied diet. we often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. in countries such as france and britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. this makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life. 1. we can infer from the text that humans and animals _. a. depend on one sense in choosing food b. are not satisfied with their food c. choose food in similar ways d.

bagamo. they said his mouth looked like a large bag, musicians often called him pops, as a sign of respect for his influence (影响) on the world of music.born in 1901 in new orleans, be grew up poor, but lived among great musicians. jazz was invented in the city a few years before his birth. armstrong often said,” jazz and i grew up together.”armstrong showed a great talent (天赋) for music when he was taught to play the cornet (短号) at a boys home. in his late teens, armstrong began to live the life of a musician. he played in parades, clubs, and on the steamboats that traveled on the mississippi river. at that time, new orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians. armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.in 1922 he went to chicago. there, the tale of louis armstrong begins. from then until the end of his life, armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever be went armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the american popular song.his cornet playing had a deep humanity (仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say, “listening to pops just makes you feel good all over.”he was the father of the jazz style(风格) and also one of the best-known and most admired people in the world. his death, on july 6, 1971, was headline news around the world.5. armstrong was called pops because he

but there is something wonderful at your fingertips. you can make people happier, healthier and more hard-working just by touching their arms or holding their hands. doctors say that body contact(接触) is a kind of medicine that can work wonders. when people are touched, the quantity of hemoglobin (血红蛋白) a type of matter that produces the red color in blood increases greatly. this results in more oxygen (氧气) reaching every part of the body and the whole body benefits. in experiments, bottle-fed baby monkeys were separated from their mothers for the first ten days of life. they became sad and negative. studies showed the monkeys were more probable to become ill than other babies that were allowed to stay with their mothers. human babies react (反应) in much the same way. some years ago, a scientist noticed that some well-fed babies in a clean nursery (托儿所) became weak. yet babies in another nursery were growing healthily, even though they ate less well and were not kept as clean. the reason, he concluded, was that they often had touches from nurses. experiments show that most people like being touched. and nearly all doctors believe touch helps to reduce patients fear of treatment. of course there is time when a touch is not welcome. but even if we dont like being touched, a smile can make us feel better. smiling increases blood flow and starts the production of “happy brain” chemicals. so lets have a big smile and dont forget to keep in touch.9. which of the following is not true?a. everyone knows that body contact can make people happier.b. people may work harder because of body contact.c. your fingertips can do something wonderful. d. people may not understand the importance of touching.10. according to the passage, _.a. human brains need oxygen and

people touch b. smile and touchc. wonders of touch d. touch or notdspecial bridges help animals cross the road- reported by sheila carrickwhy did the chicken cross the road? to get to the other side. most people know this joke. but recently, some people have been much more concerned with how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road. millions of animals die each year on u.s. roads, the federal highway administration reports. in fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the u.s. today. the main reason? road kill. ecopassages may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. they are paths both over and under roads. these ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid human conflicts, said jodi hilty of the wildlife conservation society. but do animals actually use the ecopassages? the answer is yes. paul beier of northern arizona university found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. this showed that the lion used the passage. builders of some ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. animals seem to be catching on. animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses. the next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. you might see an animal overpass!13. the writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that_.awild animals have become more dangerousbthe driving conditions have improved greatlycthe measure for protecting wildlife
