Unit 5 Travelling abroad .閱讀理解(2018·浙江杭州二模)It is halfway through October.The sun arrives early and I stare out my window,feeling shame for invading (侵犯) the privacy of the homeless woman who has settled across the street.I am not sure when she first appeared,maybe a month ago.Each morning I watch as she gets out from the narrow space between the two large buildings across from mine.She wears the same dirty,badly torn dress every day.I can see she fights to pull herself up into a standing position.She fails on the first two or three tries,but determination always wins out.She remains leaning against the wall for several long minutes,appearing to gather the necessary strength needed to pick up her possessionsall packed into five plastic bags.With tears in my eyes,I watch as she places her feet pointing outward to avoid falling.Her steps are measured and cautious as she slowly makes her way to the corner and disappears.When I first noticed this woman,I went across the street and offered her 20 dollars,but she turned her back to me and pretended not to see me.The expression on her face was one of shame,causing me to feel guilty for invading her privacy.The next night I bought a hotdog and a Coke,and left them in the spot when she was not there.Feeling like a spy,I watched as she ate the hotdog like a starving cat that had not eaten for days.I too often find myself complaining about life,but when I look out my window and see the old woman,I feel the need to apologize for my foolish pride in not realizing how fortunate I really am.There are many poor people in my town.I have become familiar with many of their faces,and then suddenly they disappear.I know that one day the old woman will be gone and I will have no idea where she is.I fear that day.【語篇導讀】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者通過對一位流浪老人的關(guān)注和幫助,產(chǎn)生了新的人生感悟。1.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A.Life is tough for the homeless woman.B.Poverty causes the womans poor health.C.The woman doesnt care about her appearance.D.Possessions mean much to the woman.答案A解析主旨大意題。文章第二段主要描述了流浪老人破爛的衣著、寒酸的家當以及行走的艱難等,由此可知,A項“流浪老人的生活充滿了艱辛”最符合題意。2.Why did the woman refuse the authors 20 dollars?A.The money didnt help much.B.She didnt like the author.C.Accepting money was guilty.D.She felt her dignity was hurt.答案D解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段第一、二句,尤其是“The expression on her face was one of shame”可知,當我施舍給流浪老人20美元的時候,她轉(zhuǎn)過頭去不理我,同時她的臉上有一種羞愧的表情。故可推知,她感到她的尊嚴受到了傷害。故選D項。3.What lesson does the author learn from the homeless woman?A.Complaints can sometimes make life worse.B.He should appreciate his present life more.C.More is to be done to make life meaningful.D.We should all apologize for ignoring the poor.答案B解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段中的“I feel the need to apologize for my foolish pride in not realizing how fortunate I really am”可知,通過關(guān)注和幫助流浪老人,作者意識到了自己很幸運能擁有現(xiàn)在的一切,所以應(yīng)該更加珍惜。故選B項。4.Which of the following words best describes the author of the text?A.Optimistic.B.Sympathetic.C.Determined.D.Easy-going.答案B解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知,作者很同情并盡力去幫助流浪老人,故B項“同情的”符合題意。optimistic“樂觀的”;determined“堅決的”;easy-going“隨和的”。.完形填空Dr.Michael Schmoker is an

assignment even though you are bored out of your mind may soon be coming to an end.Thats because if Dr.Harry Witchel has his way,computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and even react to it in real time.But before you get concerned,the machine is not reading your mind.It is just keeping track of the constant involuntary movements that people exhibit when in front of a computer or even a television.These are not the bigger instrumental actions like moving a mouse or using the remote,but subtle barely noticeable movements like scratching or stretching.Witchel says the level of movement is directly relative to how absorbed the person is in what he/she is reading or watching the higher the interest level,the lesser the movement!To test the theory Witchel and his team invited 27 people and exposed them to a variety of digital content for three minutes at a time.The activities ranged from playing online games to reading documents like the EU banking regulations that most people would find boring.A video motion tracker monitored their movements as they powered through each assignment.Just as the researchers had suspected,the involuntary actions decreased surprisingly,by as much as 42%,when the subjects were totally absorbed in what they were reading or seeing.Fortunately,the scientists are not planning to use the findings that were published in the online journal to create machines that report students who are not focusing at school.Instead,they believe that combining the motion detecting technology into future computers will help enhance(加強)the digital learning experience.The scientists say that being able to measure the students interest level will enable educators to adjust the materials in real time and reengage the student.Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions and in the future,also be used in developing more understanding companion robots.    參考范文Dr.Harry Witchel is developing a computer that can discover and respond to boredom in real time.(要點1)The machine will know it by tracking the users unconscious movements like stretching or scratching.(要點2)They conclude the more the users are absorbed in a program,the less they use such movements.(要點3)In the future the computer can be applied to film-making or school education accordingly.(要點4)6
