Unit 5 Theme parks .閱讀理解A(2018·浙江溫州一模)On a warm morning last summer,bus driver Tim Watson was about halfway through his daily 15-mile route from Milpitas to Fremont when a warning from the Transportation Authority flashed across his dashboard (儀表盤) screen.The message read a three-year-old child had been kidnapped (誘拐) in Milpitas,and it asked that drivers be on the lookout for the boy.The victim was described as a three-year-old child in shorts and red shoes;the suspect,a man in his 20s wearing jeans and a black sweatshirt and carrying a brown backpack.Tim felt his stomach drop when he realized that a man with a child on his hip had boarded the bus just ten minutes earlier.Tim glanced in one of his mirrors and saw the pair sitting in the last seat at the back of the nearly empty bus.Tim radioed the bus company.“I believe I have the kidnapping suspect on my bus,” he told the operator,keeping his voice low.The operator directed Tim to continue to his final stop at the Fremont Bart subway station,where police officers would be waiting.“As Im driving,all I can think about is what Im going to do if I get there before the police,” he says.So he slowed down,rolling along at 35 mph in a 65 miles per hour zone.When Tim saw from the side mirrors police cars pull up behind the bus silently but with red lights flashing,he stopped the bus and opened the doors.As the man got off the bus with the boy,a police officer grabbed the child out of his arms,threw the suspect to the ground,and pinned him.The police officers told Tim that about an hour earlier,the man,David,23,had taken the boy away from the Milpitas library after he wandered away from his mother.【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇記敘文。巴士司機(jī)Tim Watson在駕車途中接到一個(gè)三歲小孩被誘拐的報(bào)警信息,并發(fā)現(xiàn)嫌疑犯及被誘拐的小孩剛巧在他的車上,Tim立刻報(bào)警并配合警察解救了孩子,抓住了嫌疑犯。1.Tim realized the man could be the suspect when he . A.radioed the bus companyB.read the dashboard messageC.saw the man board the busD.spotted a kid on the mans hip答案B解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一、二段內(nèi)容,尤其是“Tim felt his stomach drop when he realized that a man with a child on his hip had boarded the bus just ten minutes earlier.”可知,Tim在看完報(bào)警信息的描述之后才意識(shí)到嫌疑犯在十分鐘前剛上了他的車。故選B項(xiàng)。2.Why did Tim slow down the bus?A.To make a call to the operator.B.To drive below the speed limit.C.To meet the police at the right time.D.To watch out for the kidnapped boy.答案C解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段中的“As Im driving,all I can think about is what Im going to do if I get there before the police”可知,Tim擔(dān)心他會(huì)比警察先到,所以他減速是為了控制好到達(dá)車站的時(shí)間。故選C項(xiàng)。3.What kind of person is Tim?A.Skeptical.B.Quick-minded.C.Good-tempered.D.Knowledgeable.答案B解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容可知,Tim發(fā)現(xiàn)嫌疑犯在他的車上后,秘密報(bào)警并控制車速以便拖延時(shí)間,最終幫助警方抓住了嫌疑犯。由此可推知,Tim是一個(gè)思維敏捷的人。故選B項(xiàng)。BTurning the lights out or wearing a blindfold while eating could be a quick way to lose weight,according to scientists.The simple trick works because it stops diners eating for pleasure rather than for calories.It also triggers(引發(fā)) a part of the brain that is worried that unseen food may go bad.An experiment by the University of Konstanz,in Germany,found that people who were blindfolded consumed nine percent fewer calories before they felt full,compared to those who could see.They also vastly overestimated how much they had eaten because they could not see how much was left on the plate.Blindfolded volunteers estimated they had eaten 88 percent more than they actually had.Scientists believe that not seeing food on the table also allows the body to know when it is full in real time rather than remembering past experiences where it might have taken a full plate to feel full.In the experiment,50 people were blindfolded and 40 were allowed to see their food.All were told not to eat within two hours of the experiment.They were then given three 95g bowls of chocolate ice-cream and invited to eat for 15 minutes.Their bowls were taken away and the remaining ice-cream weighed,while the participants were quizzed on how much they thought they had eaten.On average the group who could see ate 116g while the blindfolded groups ate 105g.However,the blindfolded group believed they had eaten 197g while compared with 159g for the non-blind volunteers.They were also asked how pleasant the ice-cream tasted and the blindfolded group rated lower than those who could see.“The experienced pleasure of eating was significantly lower in the blindfolded group.Not seeing the food might have decreased the appetite.Sight plays an important role in the eating experience and in the overall dining experience.”Previous studies have shown that the visual influence of food plays a large part in the taste.While restaurants that allow diners to eat in the dark state that it triggers other senses,in fact eating in darkness is likely to taste far milder than usual.【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說明文?？茖W(xué)家通過研究發(fā)現(xiàn),人們?cè)谙艋蛘叽髦壅謺r(shí)用餐可以減肥。4.With the lights out,diners eat less partly because . A.they want to quickly finish their mealsB.they trust their feelings more than everC.they focus more on fun than the caloriesD.they worry about the quality of the food答案D解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“that is worried that unseen food may go bad.”可知,當(dāng)關(guān)燈后,飲食者可能會(huì)擔(dān)心食物的質(zhì)量。故選D項(xiàng)。5.We can learn from the passage that the blindfolded group . A.spent a much longer time eating the same foodB.believed they ate more than they really didC.depended on past experiences to feel fullD.thought the food tasted better than usual答案B解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“Blindfolded volunteers estimated they had eaten 88 percent more than they actually had.”以及實(shí)驗(yàn)過程可知,戴眼罩的志愿者們相信他們比實(shí)際上吃得更多。故選B項(xiàng)。6.The last two paragraphs tell us that . A.diners are likely to lose their appetite eating in darknessB.senses rather than sight play an important role in the tasteC.findings of this experiment differ from the previous studiesD.restaurants benefit a lot from allowing diners to eat in the dark答案A解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第二句“Not seeing the food might have decreased the appetite.”并結(jié)合最后兩段可知,最后兩段主要講的是在黑暗中吃東西,飲食者可能會(huì)降低食欲。故選A項(xiàng)。7.The main purpose of the passage is to . A.provide statistics related to eating in the darkB.offer reasons for people to eat in the dark areasC.inform the readers of the result of an experimentD.persuade the readers to lose weight in a new

Because the secret to success is being certain the sun will shinebut also carrying an umbrella,just in case.Scientists say that being overly hopeful or extremely cynical(憤世嫉俗的) may hold you back.Theres a sweet spot in the middle.The realistic optimists are the people who stay healthiest and happiest,and who achieve the most success.They combine the hopeful outlook of blind optimists with the clear-headed critical thinking of pessimists.5.

On to plan B”是對(duì)D項(xiàng)中的flexible in their thinking的具體闡釋。.語篇填空Local officials in Beijing promised to further protect the citys cultural heritage(遺產(chǎn)),in particular the narrow streets 1.
