课时跟踪练1 Unit 1 Friendship

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

My doctor took me for a walk around the farm where she lives.I was physically and mentally exhausted and discouraged.

The farm was full of life.There were insects, horses, rabbits, and cats.She told me to focus on my body in the environment.When I was ill, I intended to escape from the reality.So I expected nothing when meeting the horse named Fira.

As I got closer to Fira, she nuzzled(用鼻子爱抚)her nose into my chest, putting a gentle pressure over my heart.Something happened inside me: I felt as if I had reached a wellspring(源泉)of my fears, hurts and failures.I began to melt emotionally in an uncommon way.I patted Fira's nose and breathed in her smell.Fira helped me feel loved and safe.After that, I began working with Fira often, learning basic communication and leading methods to work together with her.She connected with me by responding to my emotional state and reflecting it back to me in an open, friendly way.

In my meetings with Fira, I learned to live in the present, to focus on what was happening this day, at this moment, in this place.I learned to forget the past, with all its hurt.I learned to forget the future, which hadn't happened yet.I found deep peace in leading her along the path, by using my own power to judge whether to start, stop, turn left or turn right.I found inner quiet and even joy.My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul.

B．Interested. D．Unconcerned.

2．What happened when Fira approached the author? A．She felt afraid and Fira hurt her. B．She realized how to live in the present. C．She was touched mentally in a special way.

D．She learned basic communication methods with horses. 3．What might be the biggest gain for the author? A．Making friends with a little horse. B．Learning how to live in the future.

C．Spending a good time with the doctor. D．Finding deep peace and inner quiet. 4．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．Animals are the friends of human beings. B．The author recovers with the help of Fira. C．It is a good idea to get close to nature. D．Some animals have magical abilities.

【语篇解读】 作者身心俱疲、抑郁沮丧，医生带作者到农场走一走，作者原以为这不会有什么用，没想到一匹名为菲拉的马竟帮助作者缓解了压力，找到了内心的宁静甚至快乐。

1．解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句“So I expected nothing when meeting the horse named Fira.”可知，作者最开始认为这匹叫菲拉的马不会对自己的状况有什么帮助，由此推知，作者起初应是对菲拉不感兴趣的，故选D项。unconcerned意为“不关心的；不感兴趣的”。

答案：D

2．解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二、三句可知，菲拉这匹马接近作者时，作者感到自己的内心不同寻常地开始融化，即菲拉用一种特别的方式在精神上打动了作者。故选C项。C项中的mentally和special分别对应第三段第三句中的emotionally和uncommon。

答案：C

3．解析：推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“I found deep peace”以及“I found inner quiet and even joy.”可知，作者获得了内心深处的祥和与平静。故选D项。

答案：D

4．解析：段落大意题。根据最后一段最后一句“My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul.”可知，作者在这匹马的帮助下得以康复，这是最后一段的主要内容。故选B项。

答案：B

B

Young trees don't just grow; they develop a personality and learn more about their environment and how they should best behave in it.They also help each other out whenever there's trouble.

Personality, just as among people, varies among trees.Some are anxious, some bold.On the author's land, there are three oak trees growing close together.One of the oak trees always starts to shed its leaves two weeks earlier than the others.Since they all experience the same temperature，the same soil and the same length of day, such variables can't be the explanation.So what's happening? Well, this tree is simply

more careful than the others.Whoever holds on to their leaves longer can do more photosynthesis and store more nutrients.However, the longer a tree keeps its leaves, the higher the risk of injury.

Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn from their mistakes.A tree, for example, keeping its leaves too long during one year will never make this mistake again.This leads to several other conclusions: trees must notice the temperature and the length of the day and be able to save their experiences somewhere.Obviously, trees don't have brains，but it is thought that in the sensitive tips of their roots they keep track of information and experiences.

But trees aren't only clever when it comes to caring for themselves.They also support each other whenever there's trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics (同种个体) with nutrients.For example, once the author found a very old tree stump, and its insides had rotted since a long time ago to topsoil.But the wood on the outside of the stump was still living.How was this possible? Well, the stump was nourished by its neighbours with nutrients from the root system，and this had been for at least 400 years!

Why do trees do such a thing？It's simple：It's better together.Trees need the forest；it protects them from storms，provides the right microclimate and warns them of attacks.

5．Why does the author mention the three oak trees? A．To illustrate trees can learn from experiences. B．To show trees can make independent decisions. C．To explain trees are quite supportive to each other. D．To prove trees have the same personalities as humans.

6．According to the text，which of the following can best describe the general features of trees?

A．Anxious and bold. B．Smart and adventurous. C．Helpful and well-behaved. D．Adaptable and supportive.

7．What does the underlined phrase “do such a thing” mean? A．Give warnings. C．Depend on others.

B．Offer assistance. D．Provide nutrients.

8．Where does this text most probably come from?

A．A public lecture. C．An experiment report.

B．A science book. D．A travel journal.

【语篇解读】 树也会培养自己的特性，了解自己的生存环境。它们不但会自己做决定，而且还会吸取以前的教训。同时，树木不但会照顾自己，而且还会互相照顾。

5．解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Not only do trees make their own decisions，they also learn from their mistakes.”可知，树木不仅能自己做决定，而且还能吸取教训。故可知，上段作者提到三棵橡树是为了证明树能够自己做决定。故选B项。

答案：B

6．解析：推理判断题。文章前两段讲述树木在成长过程中培养自己的特性，为了生存自己作决定；第三、四段讲述树木为生存吸取教训和互相照顾。故可推知，树木具有适应能力强和互相支持、互相照顾的特点。A项意为“焦虑的和大胆的”；B项意为“聪明的和爱冒险的”；C项意为“乐于助人的和行为端正的”；D项意为“适应能力强的和给予帮助的”。故选D项。

答案：D

7．解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“They also support each other whenever there's trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics with nutrients.”和后面的例子可知，树木在遇到困难时会互相帮助，互相支持。A项意为“发出警告”；B项意为“提供帮助”；C项意为“依靠他人”；D项意为“提供营养物质”。故选B项。

答案：B

8．解析：推理判断题。本文是一篇科普说明文，文中说明了树木的一些特性，因此它最可能来自科学书籍。A项意为“一次公开的讲座”；B项意为“一本科学书”；C项意为“一份实验报告”；D项意为“一本旅游杂志”。故选B项。

答案：B Ⅱ.完形填空

When you think of friends，you often think of those who accompany you for a long time.But there is another kind of 1 —one that does not unfold over a 2 period of time but springs entirely from a particular 3 ．

Anyone with children knows the rapid friendships formed with parallel parents.To
