第三單元測評【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。自古英雄出少年,本文介紹了迄今為止世界上最年輕的四位奧運冠軍。1.B細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段最后一句“HerlastOlympicgoldmedalcameduringthe2000SydneyOlympicsinAustralia.”可知,伏明霞的最后一枚奧運獎牌是在澳大利亞悉尼奧運會上獲得的。2.A細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段中“Thejust-finished...Japan’sNishiyaMomijibecamethefirsteverwomen’sOlympicskateboardingchampion.”可知,NishiyaMomiji在自己的國家贏得了第一枚金牌。3.D細節(jié)理解題。四位奧運冠軍中,MarjorieGestring的年齡最小,在她只有13歲又268天時,她獲得了1936年柏林奧運會的冠軍。【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。主要講述了溫迪在攀巖時受傷,醫(yī)生建議她放棄攀巖,但是溫迪認為事故只是為了提醒大家小心,她決定繼續(xù)攀巖。4.C推理判斷題。根據第一段中“butafterherlatestaccidentlastSaturday,sheisluckytobealive.”可知,溫迪在攀巖時受了重傷。5.B細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段中“I’llbeinhereforawhile,andIneedtimetorecoverbecauseIhitmyheadwhenIfellontheground.That’swhyIcan’trememberanythingabouttheaccident.”可知,溫迪不記得事故是因為她的頭部受傷了。6.D詞義猜測題。根據最后一段中“butthey’veadvisedhertogiveupherdangeroussport.”以及“I’vestartedtofeelbetteralready,andIcan’twaittostartclimbingagain.”可知,聽到醫(yī)生的建議之后,溫迪仍然選擇繼續(xù)攀巖。由此猜測,畫線單詞表示“沒有被阻止”,與notdiscouraged同義。7.B主旨大意題。通讀全文,尤其是最后一段中“Ithinkthisaccidentissimplyaremindertotakealittlemorecare.I’vestartedtofeelbetteralready,andIcan’twaittostartclimbingagain.”可知,文章主要描述了攀巖運動愛好者溫迪在攀巖中受重傷,但是她認為事故只是給自己的一個教訓,最終還是決定繼續(xù)攀巖,所以“給溫迪的教訓”可以作為文章標題?！菊Z篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。文章通過巴西沖浪者Maya挑戰(zhàn)年度最大、最高的海浪表明,女性沖浪者可以做得和男性一樣好,甚至更好。8.A細節(jié)理解題。根據第一段中“ButforBraziliansurferMaya,itpresentedtheperfectopportunitytobreakherformerworldrecord.”可知,Maya參加首屆比賽是為了打破前世界紀錄,打算挑戰(zhàn)自己。9.B推理判斷題。根據第二段中“ItturnedoutthatMaya’s73.5-footmonsterwastwofeethigherthanthatofhercompetitor’swave...Itwasalso3.5feethigherthanthe70-footwaveridden...”可知,Maya沖浪了年度最大、最高的海浪。10.D細節(jié)理解題。根據倒數第二段中“Oursportisverymale-dominated,withtheperformancesonthemalesideoftenmuchstrongerthanoursasfemales”和“SoMaya’ssuccessopenstheideathatthereareotherpossibilities.”可知,Maya的成功意義在于它表明女性沖浪者可以做得和男性一樣好,甚至更好。11.C推理判斷題。最后一段中提到“她摔斷了腳踝,差點喪命。然而,這個小困難并沒有打消她對極限運動的熱愛,也沒有打消她成為世界上最偉大的沖浪者之一的愿望!”。由此可知,Maya是個有決心的人?！菊Z篇解讀】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。文章講述JordanSpieth贏了theUSMasters比賽,介紹了JordanSpieth的運動品質。12.B推理判斷題。根據第二段中“JordanSpiethhaslearnedtokeephimselfincheck.”以及“hewasthesameandkepthisemotionssteadyandstrong”可知,JordanSpieth是一個能夠很好地控制自己情緒的人。13.A推理判斷題。根據第三段中“Heknowswhichclubheisgoingtodrivewithoneveryhole”以及“hehasplayeditthroughhismindsformonths.Heisthepersonwhomakesthingshappenbyplanninginadvance.”可知,本段通過舉例,說明了JordanSpieth是一個有計劃并且為之堅持到底的人。14.D推理判斷題。通過文章最后一段中“However,heneverstopslearning.”以及“Heisalwaysreading,learning,andheunderstandsthatthegreatestteacherofallisfailure.”可知,打完2014年的比賽后,JordanSpieth受到了鼓舞。15.B主旨大意題。通讀全文,再根據文章第一段中“Icouldnothelpbutthinkofthegreatqualitieshedisplayedtowinthemostfamousgolfeventonthecalendaragainstthegreatestplayersintheworld.”可知,本文講述的是JordanSpieth的運動品質?！菊Z篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了太極拳對人們健康的好處。16.B上文“MostpeoplethinkChinesemartialartsareallaboutkicking,punchingandfighting.”說明大多數人對中國武術有刻板印象,認為中國武術就是拳打腳踢。下文“Itisslow,calmandpeaceful.”說明設空處與上文應是形成轉折關系。B項“Buttaichiistheotherwayaround.”與上文及下文一致。17.E上文提到“太極拳起源于17世紀中葉的河南省溫縣。聯(lián)合國教科文組織最近將其列入非物質文化遺產名錄。雖然太極是一種古老的武術,但它至今仍很受歡迎”。設空處位于段尾,有總結上文的作用。E項中的“over100millionfans”說明了太極拳受歡迎的程度。18.A設空處位于段首,具有統(tǒng)領下文的作用,下文是對設空處的解釋說明。A項中的“manycandoit”與下文一致,A項“這意味著很多人都能做到”切題。19.G根據“Youcancontrolthembetter.Slowmovementsalsoallowyoutotakedeep,longbreaths.Thisisgoodforyourbodies.”可知,太極拳緩慢的動作對身體有好處。G項中的“slowmovements”“yourhandsandfeet”與下文一致。20.F根據上文“Buttaichi’sbenefitsgobeyondthephysical.”以及下文“Taichihastaughtthemthevalueoflivingmoreslowly...‘Practicingtaichiislikespeakingwithmysoul.’”可知,設空處承上啟下,下文是對設空處的舉例。F項中的“it’snotonlyasport,butalsoawayoflife”與上文及下文一致?！菊Z篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。本文作者敘述了自己的新書簽售會上,等了很久都沒有讀者前來,作者非?；倚?。直到書店即將關門,自己打算回家的時候,一對夫婦的到來令作者非常激動。這件事,激勵著作者把寫作進行下去。21.C句意:簽售會被安排在一家漂亮的書店里。根據“Thebooksigning”可知,這是一場簽名售書活動,活動被安排(arranged)在書店里。22.A句意:我原以為會有成百上千的顧客排隊讓我為他們簽名。根據“hundredsofcustomers”可知,作者原以為會有成百上千的顧客排隊(lineup)。23.C句意:然而,事情并不是這樣發(fā)生的。根據“itdidn’tquitehappenlikethat”可知,此處句意發(fā)生了轉折,然而(However)并沒有顧客排隊買書。24.B句意:盡管外面的牌子很漂亮,但沒有一個顧客進來。根據“Thebooksigningwasinabeautifulbookstore.”可知,這是一場在書店的簽名售書活動,此處指的是沒有買書的顧客(customer)。

25.D句意:隨著每一分鐘過去,我就越來越焦慮。根據下文“Justbeforethestore’sclosing,,Ibegantogetmyselfreadytoleave.”可知,作者越來越(increasingly)焦慮,到最后失望地想離開書店了。

26.A句意:在過去的四年里,我的生活日程安排得很緊。根據“Iwokeupat5:30a.m.everydayandhadtwohoursofwritingbeforework.”可知,作者每天起床很早,在上班之前兩小時寫作,日常工作安排(schedule)非常緊張。27.D句意:我經常祈禱我的讀者最終會被感動。上文提到,作者每天起床很早,在上班之前兩小時寫作。此處指作者這么辛苦,祈禱自己的努力能感動(touched)讀者。28.B句意:現(xiàn)在,我一個人坐在這里,想知道我的整個人生是否只是一個大笑話。根據“Despitethenicesignoutside,notasingleentered.Aseachminutepassed,Iwasanxious.”可知,作者滿懷希望能夠有人買他的書,但是,簽名售書活動非常失敗,沒有顧客來買書。因此,作者想知道(wondered)為什么這么失敗,似乎自己的人生是個笑話。

29.C句意:就在商店關門前,我氣餒了,開始準備離開。上文提到,沒有一個顧客來買書,因此作者漸漸氣餒(discouraged)了。30.B句意:就在我感覺到不能更糟的時候,一對中年夫婦走了進來。上文提到,作者最后氣餒,都準備離開了。因此,作者感覺沒有比這更糟糕(worse)了。31.C句意:我設法掩飾我的壞情緒,介紹了我自己和我的書。根據“...introducedmyselfandmybook.Whilelistening,theynoddedinfromtimetotime”可知,作者向這對夫婦介紹自己的書并得
