课时作业B：能力层面

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

(2019·安徽省示范高中模拟)“Joe? Is that you？”The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar.“Marci？” I asked.“It is you！”she cried out，smiling broadly.“It's good to see you again！”

It was good to see Marci，too.Off and on during the past few decades，I've wondered about her.I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci.So meeting her at the baseball game was really a surprise.

We spent a few minutes talking about our lives—the good old，bad old days.Then Marci grew quiet for a moment.“You know，Joe，” she said，“I've always wanted to tell you how... how...sorry I am for the way I treated you.You must have been hurt both physically and mentally.”I was a little embarrassed.I turned and looked at her.“It's OK，” I said，“No big deal！” “But I was such a jerk，” she continued.Yes you were，I thought.“We were both pretty young，” I smiled，“I know，” she said.“It's just always bothered me，remembering how mean I was to you.And I've wanted to tell you that I'm sorry.” The expression on her face was warm and

sincere.And there was something in her eyes—it looked a lot like relief.“OK，” I said.“Apology accepted！” Overcome by the sweetness of the moment，I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug.Just then，the crowd erupted with a huge cheer，and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game.By the time I looked over to where she had been，she was gone.But the warm，wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there，and continues to this day whenever I think about it.

It isn't enough to just say “I'm sorry” and “You're forgiven”．But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed，they can open the door to miracles of the heart.Forgiveness can bring peace to an injured soul—even years after the fact.Even at a baseball game.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。“我”在棒球赛场见到了多年未见的朋友Marci。她见到“我”后为以前那样对待“我”向“我”真诚地道歉，“我”立刻原谅了她，之后我们都感觉到温暖和愉快。

1．What kind of life did Marci live during the late 20th century according to the passage?

A．Happy. C．Hard.

B．Busy. D．Simple.

C [细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci”可知，在20世纪90年代Marci生活得很艰难，故C项正确。]

2．What does the underlined word “jerk” in the third paragraph mean? A．A humorous person. B．A cruel person. C．A careless person. D．An honest person.

B [词义猜测题。根据画线词下文中的“It's just always bothered me，remembering how mean I was to you”可知，当时她对“我”很刻薄，这件事一直困扰着她，再结合画线词所在句可知，她认为她是一个刻薄的人；据此可知，画线词与B项含义相近，故B项正确。]

3．Why did Marci look in relief after talking with the author? A．Because her favorite team won the game. B．Because she learned Joe was living a good life. C．Because she made an apology to the author. D．Because she found she was not mean any longer.

4．What might be the best title for the passage? A．Excitement of a Baseball Game. B．Mental Burden of a Woman. C．Miracles of Forgiveness. D．Relief of Finding a Friend.

C [标题判断题。通读全文可知，文章最后两句为全文的主题句；结合全文内容可知，本文通过讲述“我”接受朋友Marci的真诚道歉，体会到原谅可以抚慰受伤的心灵的故事，说明了原谅创造的奇迹，故C项最适合作为本文标题。]

B

(2019·贵阳市普通高中第一学期监测)You try to keep your eyes wide open while watching a basketball match or a wonderful firework show in case you might miss something exciting in just the blink of an eye.But in fact，humans blink about 15 times per minute on average.Have you ever missed anything because you blinked? Probably not.Why is that?

According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September，our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink.It can keep visual information for a short period of time and then put it together to form an image without interruption.

In order to understand how this works，a group of scientists at the German Primate Center and the University Medical Center Gottingen in Germany conducted an experiment.In the study，the participants were asked to look at patterns on a screen whose direction could be interpreted in different ways，such as horizontally(水平地) or vertically(垂直地)．When one pattern was about to disappear and the next one was about to come，the participants had to indicate the direction that the next pattern would appear.

The researchers found that when the directions of two patterns didn't match，the area in our brain which is responsible for visual memory was activated.This same area showed less activity when two patterns were in the same direction.

“The medial prefrontal cortex(额叶皮层) adjusts current visual information with previously obtained information，and thus enables us to perceive the world with

more stability，even when we briefly close our eyes to blink，” Caspar Schwiedrzik explained in Science Daily.He is the first author of the study and also a scientist at the German Primate Center.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，眨眼并不会错过细节并解释了其原因。 5．We don't miss anything when blinking because our brain can ________. A．deal with the missing image B．remember all that we see C．imagine what our eyes miss D．put our pieces of memory together

A [推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September，our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink.”可知，根据九月份发表在《当代生物学》杂志上的一项新研究，我们的大脑有能力跳过我们眨眼时形成的暂时黑暗。据此可推知，由于我们的大脑能处理丢失的图像，所以眨眼不会让我们错过任何东西，故A项正确。]

6．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Our brain.

B．Visual information. C．Current Biology. D．The temporary darkness.

B [代词指代题。根据第二段第二句“It can keep visual information for a short period of time and then put it together to form an image without interruption”可知，大脑可以在短时间内保存视觉信息，然后将其组合在一起形成不中断的图像，故可推知，it指代上文中的“visual information”，故B项正确。]

7．What do we know about the experiment? A．The two patterns appear at the same time.

B．Visual memory can be more activated by similarity. C．Participants can interpret patterns differently. D．The different directions activated visual memory.

D [细节理解题。根据第四段中的“when the directions of two patterns didn't match，the area in our brain which is responsible for visual memory was activated.This same area showed less activity when two patterns were in the same direction”可知，当两个模式的方向不一致时，则掌握视觉记忆的大脑区域被激活；当两种模式在同一方向时，则这个区域显示出较少的活动。据此可知，不同的方向能激活视觉记忆，故D项正确。]

8．What would be the best title for this passage?
