Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note.閱讀理解A(2018·浙江)Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks.His strange habit makes sense when you consider that hes an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter,including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road.What is even more interesting is that one of Steins jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year.So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收銀臺(tái)).The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California,including Los Angeles.Eyeing these headwinds,plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers arguments:many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags,which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport.And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at,they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement:reusable shopping bags.The stronger a reusable bag is,the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out.However,longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make.One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists dont dispute(質(zhì)疑) these points.They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。在美國(guó),一些地區(qū)禁止使用塑料袋,然而有一部分科學(xué)家卻被塑料袋制造商雇傭,來(lái)證明他們的產(chǎn)品并不像大多數(shù)人想象的那樣糟糕,到底是使用塑料袋、環(huán)保袋,還是有更好的選擇?1.What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A.Help increase grocery sales.B.Recycle the waste material.C.Stop things falling off trucks.D.Argue for the use of plastic bags.答案D解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段的最后一句“What is even more interesting is that one of Steins jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.”可知,Steven Stein的工作是保護(hù)塑料購(gòu)物袋背后的行業(yè),為其辯護(hù),故選D項(xiàng)。2.What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Bans on plastic bags.B.Effects of city development.C.Headaches caused by garbage.D.Plastic bags hung in trees.答案A解析詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)境可知,美國(guó)施行了許多關(guān)于禁止使用塑料袋的辦法,塑料袋制造商雇傭像Stein這樣的科學(xué)家,來(lái)證明他們的產(chǎn)品并不像大多數(shù)人想象的那樣糟糕,因此headwinds指代前面施行的禁止使用塑料袋的法令,故選A項(xiàng)。3.What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?A.They are quite expensive.B.Replacing them can be difficult.C.They are less strong than plastic bags.D.Producing them requires more energy.答案D解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段的第三句“However,longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make.”可知,制造使用更持久的環(huán)保袋通常需要更多的能量,這是它們的弊端,故選D項(xiàng)。4.What is the best title for the text?A.Plastic,Paper or NeitherB.Industry,Pollution and EnvironmentC.Recycle or Throw AwayD.Garbage Collection and Waste Control答案A解析主旨大意題。縱觀全文及文章最后一段可知,本文主要介紹了塑料袋與環(huán)保袋的使用問(wèn)題。最后,作者表明,環(huán)保人士希望有一天環(huán)保袋也能夠被更好的可再生的袋子所替代,故A項(xiàng)最能全面地概括本文的主旨。B(2018·浙江杭州教學(xué)質(zhì)量檢測(cè))What horrors hide in our subconscious (潛意識(shí))?According to a new French study on sleep-talking,researchers found the most commonly used word is “no”,and the French swearword (罵人的話) “putain” occurred,reports the New York Times,“800 times more often in sleep than when awake”.The study also found that men sleep-talked more than women and used more swearwords.Sleep-talking is a form of sleep disorders.“In my experience,it can be linked to the nervous system being overactive,which can be related to the overuse of technology before bed or too much coffee,” says Dr Nerina.“But these sorts of behaviours can happen with people who are quite hard on themselves.Theyre perfectionists,but they often hold back on saying what they really want to say.When they go to bed at night,it comes out into the sleep.”The idea that you can find someones deepest secrets while they are asleep is irresistible.There are apps that record sleep-talking.But can you admit to a murder in your sleep?Or to having a lover?Prof.Horne suggests we shouldnt read too much into what is said.“Sleep-talking tends to occur in very light sleep,” he says.Sleep-talking isnt related to dreaming but to the lighter sleep.Its really the wanderings of a rather confused mind.”It is much more common in children,and the majority of people grow out of it.“Anxiety and stress tend to bring it on,” says Horne.“Sleep-talkers are generally reflecting some sort of aspect of a worry.I think its best not to place too much concern on sleep-talking and not take the words said by someone seriously.”However,sleep-talking might tell you one thing.Someone who often does it is probably quite anxious and it might be a good idea to find out what is worrying them.【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。夢(mèng)囈,即說(shuō)夢(mèng)話,屬于睡眠障礙的一種,常與神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的過(guò)度活躍有關(guān)。夢(mèng)囈產(chǎn)生的原因有很多種,大多是由于焦慮引起的,但對(duì)于夢(mèng)囈,我們無(wú)需太過(guò)擔(dān)心。5.What can we learn from the text?A.Swearwords occur more often when people are awake.B.Adults sleep-talk less since they are happier than kids.C.Sleep-talking has an obvious connection with dreaming.D.People dont need to worry too much about sleep-talking.答案D解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段中的“its best not to place too much concern on sleep-talking”可知,人們對(duì)于夢(mèng)囈沒(méi)必要太過(guò)于擔(dān)心。故選D項(xiàng)。6.According to the text,the most likely cause of sleep-talking is . A.hard work and lack of sleepB.advances in modern technologyC.ones deepest secretsD.constant worry and tension答案D解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段中的“Anxiety and stress tend to bring it on.”以及“Sleep-talkers are generally reflecting some sort of aspect of a worry.”可知,夢(mèng)囈主要是由于持續(xù)的緊張擔(dān)憂等情緒引起的。故選D項(xiàng)。7.What is the text mainly about?A.How subconscious works.B.When sleep disorders arise.C.What sleep-talking means.D.Why people feel anxious.答案C解析主旨大意題。文章主要是圍繞“夢(mèng)囈”這一話題展開闡述的,介紹了夢(mèng)囈的起因及人們對(duì)此應(yīng)該持有的態(tài)度等。故選C項(xiàng)。.完形填空(2018·浙江溫州一模)Mum said they might not be back until after eleven.My brother Greg and I 1 to
