Unit 20 New Frontiers課時練(一)閱讀理解組塊專練練速度(限時：35分鐘).閱讀理解A(2019貴陽監(jiān)測)In no particular order, here are some songs on the Music app of my phone：On a Sunday Afternoon by Lighter Shade of Brown A student of mine introduced this rap song to me all the way back in the early 1990s, when I was teaching Spanish at a local university. The story in the song takes place not too far from where I live in Los Angeles. Its a good “driving” song, nothing plicated or “deep”Say Something by A Great Big World A more recent song about a couple losing contact with each other. The piano part is of very little playing but beautiful.American Pie by Don McLean Another song from my youth in the 1980s, very popular with almost every American of my generation. It retells some of the key events of the middle 20th century, a song of happy memories of the past and wanting to return to those better times.The Weight by The Band Another old song, originally made public in 1968, but one I didnt hear until I was in high school more than 10 years later. I dont understand the words to the song pletely, but the feeling of the song is very forting to me.Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers This Los Angeles group wrote a song that I used to listen to when I first moved to LA more than 25 years ago. I didnt know anyone here when I first arrived. When I got bored, I used to drive up and down the major streets that cross the city from east to west, listening to this song about “the city of angels” being as “l(fā)onely as I am”. (Dont worry! I have plenty of friends now.)語篇解讀：本文是一篇應用文，主要介紹了在作者的手機音樂播放器中存的幾首歌曲的相關信息。1What does the underlined word “deep” probably mean?AWith skill.BWith fort.CWith a normal meaning.DWith a significant meaning.解析：選D詞義猜測題。根據第二段最后一句中的“Its a good driving song, nothing plicated”可知，此處表示這首歌是一首說唱樂，適合駕車時聽，含義不復雜，故可推知這首歌沒有重大的意義，所以選D。2When did the author probably hear The Weight by The Band?AIn 1968.BIn 1970.CIn the 1980s. DIn the 1990s.解析：選C細節(jié)理解題。根據第五段第一句“The Weight by The Band . more than 10 years later”可知，這首歌于1968年發(fā)行，但是作者在十多年后才聽到，所以作者有可能是在20世紀80年代聽到這首歌的。3When the author first moved to LA, the song he used to listen to was _.ASay Something BAmerican PieCThe Weight DUnder the Bridge解析：選D細節(jié)理解題。根據最后一段第一句可知，作者最開始到洛杉磯時經常聽的一首歌是Under the Bridge。B(2019昆明調研)When she was found off the coast of California four years ago, the fur seal, known as Ziggy Star, was skinny and fragile. She was unfit to return to the wild. And though a professional rescue team took her in to care for her, Ziggy continued to decline. “I wouldnt have given her next week，” says Uriarte, a surgeon who led a recent firstofitskind brain operation on the seal.The operation was the first of its kind to treat hydrocephalus in fur seals. The surgical team at Tufts was unable to find any documented evidence of a similar procedure, so they needed a lot of preparation to operate on Ziggys brain. The biggest concern in operating on Ziggy was how to control the animals anesthesia (麻醉). “When theyre under anesthesia their bodys reaction includes decreasing their heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing，” says Flower, who observes Ziggy and the other animals care, describing the special challenges of operating on seals. On the day of the surgery, Flower says that she and her team “were all quite anxious not knowing what would happen”. Moving quickly was extremely important; the longer she was under anesthesia, the more likely that she could lose her breathing, says the surgeon. The seal has been kept on land to prevent water from entering the cut on her head.Now, Ziggy is eating a full diet and is beginning to gain weight again. “Recently Ive allowed her to go swimming，” says Flower. However, the source of Ziggys neurological disorder (神經紊亂) is still a mystery. “My theory is that when she was found, she had a head injury，” Uriarte says. “Hit by a boat maybe . That happens a lot with seals.” Flower is less willing to guess. “I dont think theres enough information to make that assumption. We just dont know what happened to her.”語篇解讀：本文是動物保護類記敘文。Ziggy Star是一只在加利福尼亞海岸被發(fā)現(xiàn)的非常瘦弱的海豹，因為Ziggy有腦積水，醫(yī)生為她進行了手術，她現(xiàn)在已經能夠正常進食，體重也在逐步恢復，但究竟是什么導致了她的神經紊亂，這依舊是一個謎。4When first found, Ziggy Star looked _.Athin and weak Bactive and excitedCbloody and fierce Dstrong and energetic解析：選A細節(jié)理解題。根據第一段第一句中的skinny(極瘦的)和fragile(虛弱的)可知，A項正確。5What was the most challenging task on the day of the operation?AHelping the seal regain her breathing.BUsing anesthesia properly on the seal.CMaking full preparations for the operation.DBalancing the functions of the seals organs.解析：選B細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段中的“The biggest concern in operating on Ziggy was how to control the animals anesthesia (麻醉)”，由此可知，手術最大的挑戰(zhàn)是如何控制麻醉，所以選B。6What can we learn about Ziggy after the operation?AShe is strong enough to live in the wild.BShe is suffering from a heart rate disorder.CShe has already bee as heavy as before.DShe is recovering from the brain operation.解析：選D推理判斷題。根據文章最后一段第一句“Now, Ziggy is eating a full diet and is beginning to gain weight again”，由此可知，手術后，海豹已經能夠正常進食，體重也在恢復，所以選D。7What is probably the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo show humans love for a creature.BTo find out a way to operate on a seal.CTo remember an injured seal in danger.DTo explore the reasons for a seals injury.解析：選A目的意圖題。作者在文章中介紹了拯救受傷海豹的過程，旨在說明人們對于動物的愛護，所以選A。C(2019名校原創(chuàng)預測卷二)Even before we were born, we knew our mothers voice and could distinguish it from other voices. Thats one of the key findings of an ongoing research project by Canadian and Chinese researchers. The research suggests that while we are still in the womb (子宮), our brains are learning speech patterns and laying the groundwork for language acquisition. “Before birth, the brain is being set up to learn language，” says Barbara Kisilevsky, who conducted the research.It had already been known that newborn babies show a preference for their mothers voice, but her latest research shows they also prefer that familiar sound while still in the womb. Kisilevsky carried out the first leg of the research in China, because she already had a research project under way there and this fit nicely with that work.Working with researchers at Zhejiang University, Kisilevsky tested 60 women in the final stage of pregnancy. All the mothers were taperecorded as they read a poem out loud. Then the mothers were divided into two groups. Half the fetuses (胎兒) heard the recording of their own mother. The other half heard that of another mother, but not their own.In both cases, the poem caused a change in the babys heart rate. The heart rate accelerated among those who heard their own mothers voice, and decelerated among those who heard a voice other than that of their mothers.Deceleration of the heart rate is “an attention mechanism (機制)”， Kisilevsky says. The heartbeat among fetuses who heard an unfamiliar voice slowed down, she says, because they were paying close attention to a voice they did not recognize. The fact that the heartbeat changed in both cases up for Mom, down for someone else shows the fetuses “noticed both voices”， she says, and could tell one from the other.By the way, the poem is immaterial here. Kisilevsky suspects she would have had the same results if the mothers had been reading a phone book. “Its not the content that the fetuses recognized，” she says. “We all have our own way of talking. We stop at different times, take breaths at different times, and thats what they are recognizing.”語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了一項有關胎兒對聲音的識別的研究。8What did Kisilevskys research find?ABabies are good language learners.BBabies language acquisition begins after birth.CBabies can recognize Moms voice while in the womb.DInfants are more sensitive to Moms voice than fetuses.解析：選C細節(jié)理解題。根據第一段中的“Even before we were born, we knew our mothers voice and could distinguish it from other voices”并結合下文內容可知，我們在出生之前就已經熟悉母親的聲音，并能將其與其他聲音區(qū)分開來。由此可知，嬰兒在母親的子宮中就能識別母親的聲音。故選C。9What led to the change in fetuses heart rate according to the research?ATheir familiarity with the voice.BThe quality of the recordings.CTheir curiosity about everything.DThe content of the poem recorded.解析：選A細節(jié)理解題。根據倒數(shù)第二段中的“The heartbeat among fetuses who heard an unfamiliar voice slowed down, she says, because they were paying close attention to a voice they did not recognize”可知，胎兒在聽到不熟悉的聲音時，他們的心跳會減慢，因為他們把更多的注意力放在了他們不能識別的這個聲音上。由此可知，在研究中，胎兒對聲音的熟悉度的不同導致了他們心率的變化。故選A。10What can be inferred from the last paragraph?AAdults talk in a way quite different from babies.BKisilevsky firmly believes her findings are applicable.CSpeech patterns are what fetuses recognize in telling voices.DDifferent experimental materials can lead to different results.解析：選C推理判斷題。根據最后一段的內容，尤其是“We all have our own way of talking. We stop at different times, take breaths at different times, and thats what they are recognizing”可知，胎兒在辨別聲音時識別的是人們的說話方式，即他們的語言模式。故選C。11In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage?AMedicine. BLifestyle.CEducation. DScience.解析：選D文章出處題。通讀全文可知，本文主要介紹了一項有關胎兒對聲音的識別的研究，它最可能出現(xiàn)在報紙的科學專欄上。故選D。D(2019名校原創(chuàng)預測卷一)As the Earth warms from the increase of carbon dioxide in its atmosphere, the oceans that cover 70 percent of its surface are warming too. This warming will likely benefit some sea species at the expense of others.A study in the May 20 issue of the journal Nature confirmed that there has been a warming trend in the worlds oceans since 1993, as the waters have absorbed much of the extra energy in the planets atmosphere.The warming that has already occurred, and is expected to continue in the ing decades, will likely spell bad news for many ocean species, such as corals and species that live in the cold waters of the planets poles. But some creatures beneath the ocean surface might actually have an advantage in the newly warmed waters.A 2008 study, for example, said that a warming of just a few degrees Fahrenheit in Antarctic waters could make them suitable for sharks, which havent lived in the area for about 40 million years. Its easier for sharks to keep their high metabolism (新陳代謝) in warmer waters. If sharks do move into the area, they could cause damage to the existing ecosystems of the oceans around Antarctica.A study of starfish (海星) found these typical ocean creatures grew faster in waters at warmer temperatures and higher carbon dioxide levels (another result of all the extra greenhouse gas in the atmosphere) than in normal conditions which is bad news for the shellfish they live on.Work by Jeremy Jackson, a professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography of the University of California San Diego, suggests that ocean warming along with other threats such as overfishing and habitat (棲息地) destruction could change once plex ocean ecosystems into ones that favor simpler species, such as microbes, toxic algal blooms and jellyfish.語篇解讀：本文是一篇議論文。全球變暖會改變海洋生物的生存環(huán)境，影響海洋生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，但有些海洋生物卻能從中獲益。12How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?ABy giving examples.BBy analyzing causes.CBy making parisons.DBy making classifications.解析：選C寫作手法題。根據第三段的內容，尤其是“But”的轉折可知，本段主要是通過對比海洋變暖對哪些生物有利，對哪些生物有害來行文的。故選C。13What can we know about sharks from the fourth paragraph?AThey are native to Antarctic waters.BThey do harm to the whole ecosystem.CThey can benefit from warm water conditions.DThey threaten simpler species in Antarctic waters.解析：選C細節(jié)理解題。根據第四段中的“a warming . make them suitable for sharks”“Its easier for sharks to keep their high metabolism (新陳代謝) in warmer waters”可知，鯊魚能夠從溫暖的水環(huán)境中獲益。故選C。14What will ocean warming likely bring about?APromoting the growth of starfish.BAn ecosystem of smaller creatures.CDifferent food sources for sea creatures.DDamaging living places of deepsea species.解析：選A細節(jié)理解題。根據第五段中的“A study of starfish (海星) found these typical ocean creatures grew faster in waters at warmer temperatures . than in normal conditions”可知，海星在水溫比較高的水域會生長得更快，即海洋變暖會促進海星的生長，故選A。15What is the purpose of the passage?ATo explain why ocean warming benefits some species.BTo introduce how creatures survive in warmer oceans.CTo clarify some misunderstandings about ocean warming.DTo show which sea species will benefit from warmer oceans.解析：選D寫作意圖題?？v觀全文，尤其是根據第一段中的“This warming will likely benefit some sea species at the expense of others”，第四段中的“make them suitable for sharks”和第五段中的“these typical ocean creatures grew faster in waters at warmer temperatures”可知，作者寫作本文主要是為了告訴我們哪些海洋物種能在海洋變暖中繼續(xù)繁衍，即從中獲益。故選D。.閱讀七選五(2019名校原創(chuàng)預測卷三)School is childrens base, where they learn to succeed.But for many children, the first day of school is filled with anxiety and fear.You might worry that you dont know anyone or that you wont fit in._16_ However, preparing for the first day in advance will allow you feel more at ease and in control.Do a practice run of your first day.Before the first day of school, it can help to take a practice run so you know how long it will take to walk, bike or drive to school._17_Get your school supplies together.Get a list of required school supplies from the school or the schools website.Go shopping for your supplies and make sure you have them all ready to take to school.Get a good nights sleep.Start off your first day of school with a good nights sleep._18_ Try to get at least 8 to 9 hours of sleep if youre over 12, or 10 to 11 hours of sleep if youre between 7 and 11 years old._19_ You might be too nervous to eat much, but its important that you give your body some fuel to get through until lunchtime.Eat something with protein, such as peanut butter toast or eggs.Leave early for school._20_ You dont want to be rushing into your classroom after the bell rings.
