Unit 9 Wheels课时练12篇阅读1篇完形.阅读理解A(2020合肥高三联考)Two deer jumped out in front of 16yearold Amanda Floyds car. She put on the brake, stopping the car just in time. But later, she started texting. Distracted, Amanda turned left and right, then crashed into another car. Luckily, she wasnt in a real carshe was in a driving simulator(模拟器) at Roosevelt High School, Ohio, US. “I never really realized that cars made a turn that much，” Amanda, a junior, said. She added that she wouldnt text while driving anymore.The Ohio Department of Transportation(ODOT) and Ohio State Highway Patrol brought the simulator to the school. They said they wanted to help students learn about the danger of driving while drunk, texting, or talking on the phone.According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, distracted driving claimed 3，450 lives in 2016 alone. Experts believe the actual figure is probably higher.The simulator is basically a computer program. Like many computer games, it was a hit with the students. They lined up and crowded around to watch each other take turns. The simulator has a steering wheel(方向盘), brake and gas pedal(油门). It is made up of three large computer screens on a table.Students choose a distraction, such as driving while drunk or texting. They always crash, of course. Then, they are pulled over by the police to be taught the bad results of their driving：how much damage theyve caused, what their fine is, if anyone died in the accident, and if theyre going to go to prison.“It teaches how to drive without being on the road，” said Shante Thompson, 16. She had just crashed into a deer.ODOT spokesman Justin Chesnic said hundreds of kids have gone behind the wheel so far. He said even more have benefited from watching their classmates.“Driving is such a major responsibility, so take it seriously，” he said. “Put away your cellphone. A lot of the accidents out there are because of distracted driving. It can not only change your life, but change someone elses life forever. The results are serious.”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一个驾驶模拟器，学生通过操作这个驾驶模拟器可以增强交通安全意识。1What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1?AIntroduce the topic of the text.BIllustrate the authors point of view.CProvide some advice for the readers.DOffer some background information.A解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章第一段讲述了一个事例，然后通过这个事例引出了本文的话题，即driving simulator。由此可推知，作者写第一段的目的是引出文章的主题，故选A。2Why is the driving simulator project introduced to Roosevelt High School?AIt tests the students ability to stay focused.BIt gets students to have fun between classes.CIt teaches students how to deal with traffic accidents.DIt makes students aware of the dangers of distracted driving.D解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They said they wanted to help students learn about the danger of driving while drunk, texting, or talking on the phone.”可知，他们想要帮助学生们了解醉酒、发短信或者打电话时驾车的危害，故选D。3What can we know about the driving simulator?AIt is connected to the local police station.BIt is a real car but has large computer screens.CIt attracts the students interest as a computer program.DIt benefits the students who use it more than those who only watch.C解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的描述，尤其是“The simulator is basically a computer program.

The centres management team said, “The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and dont want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the festive shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasnt surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world.“Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centres tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season，” he said. “I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.”The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include “Skaters” who try and make their way through crowds politely, “Dodgers” who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers, “Bulldozers” who push their way through crowds, and “Tutters” who express their frustrations to slow walkers.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了英国一家大型购物中心在节日高峰期引进快速通道一事。1The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who_Acant move quickly because of physical disabilitiesBbuy things on their shopping lists quicklyCtake their time to do window shoppingDwant to leave the mall quicklyB解析：推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UKs largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.”和第二段最后一句“The centres management team said, The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and dont want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”可推知，快速通道是为那些想迅速购物的人而设计的，故选B。2What is Gary Mortimers attitude to the fast lane?ASupportive.BIndifferent.CCritical.

Research shows that it connects our brain with negativity. The brain is designed to work efficiently. This means that when we repeat a thought, negative or positive, the nerve cells form a bridge between each other to pass information in a higher speed. Therefore, the next time we have a similar type of thought, it is more easily passed. This explains why certain thought patterns become habits.Yet the harmful effects dont stop there. A study shows that complaining causes the hippocampus(海马), which plays a vital role in problemsolving, to become smaller.In addition to causing brain damage, complaining also releases a stress hormone: cortisol(皮质醇), a kind of chemical the body produces when we meet with some danger. Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and lower immunity(免疫力)The ill effects of our complaining arent just limited to ourselves: they also involve those around us. We tend to mirror the moods of our friends. For this reason, we should be cautious about having stubborn complainers in our circle of companions.The best way to deal with constant negativity is to develop a sense of gratitude. Just like complaining acts as a poison, gratitude acts as a medicine. Research shows it lowers cortisol levels by 23 percent, as well as reduces blood pressure and blood sugar. It also decreases tiredness and depression. Gratitude is the perfect cure for complaining, a behavior that steals our brain power, happiness and physical wellbeing.What have you observed about the effects of complaining in your own life or in the lives of others? Have you noticed that when you are grateful, you feel better all round? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.【解题导语】研究发现，抱怨与消极性密切相关，除了导致脑损伤，抱怨还会释放皮质醇，持续高水平的皮质醇会导致高血压、高血糖和免疫力低下，而感恩却与之相反，会带来很多益处；人们在生活中要少点抱怨，多些感恩。5What do Paras. 23 mainly talk about?AThe diseases caused by complaining.BThe decrease of a vital part of our brain.CThe bad effects of complaining on brain power.DThe reason why certain thought patterns become habits.C解析：段落大意题。根据第二段第一、二句和第三段第一句“Yet the harmful effects dont stop there.”可知，第二、三段主要讲的是抱怨对人的脑力的不良影响。故选C项。6What can we know about cortisol from the passage?AGratitude is an effective cure for cortisol.BOur body produces cortisol when we feel excited.CCortisol is a chemical that can cause brain damage.DHaving a high level of cortisol can lead to many health problems.D解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in.immunity(免疫力)”可知，高水平的皮质醇会导致很多健康问题。故选D项。7What attitude does the writer take to stubborn complainers?AGrateful. BTolerant.CDisapproving. DSkeptical.C解析：观点态度题。根据第五段的内容尤其是最后一句“For this reason, we should be cautious panions.”可知，抱怨者也会对身边的人有不好的影响，因此作者认为身边有顽固的抱怨者时要小心，由此可推知，作者对抱怨者持不赞成的态度。故选C项。8Where can the passage most probably appear?AIn a newspaper.BIn a medical report.COn a website.DIn a radio program.C解析：文章出处题。根据最后一段最后一句“Please share your thoughts in the commen
