1、课时作业(三)Unit 1Section Developing ideas & Presenting ideas阅读理解AFor several days I (Jane Eyre) saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighbourhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well en
2、ough, he rode out a great deal.During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.One
3、 evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked
4、 me, “Do you think Im handsome, Miss Eyre？”The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realised it: “No, sir.”“Ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.”“Sir, Im sorry. I should have said that beauty doesnt matter, or something like that.”
5、“No, you shouldnt! I see, you criticise my appearance, and then you stab (刺) me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast.

6、too. He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly, “Yes, youre right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twentyone, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word
7、for it, but I have done wrong. It wasnt my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because youre the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because youre sympathetic and give them hope.”It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didnt seem
8、 to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time.“Dont be afraid of me, Miss Eyre.” He continued. “You dont relax or laugh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. Youre li

11、plicated like a paper crane. The chances are that as you do it, you reflect on how inventive this traditional art is. Animals, boxes, flowers, boats all can be created from a single square or rectangular sheet of paper simply by folding it. No cutting, no pasting.But do you ever stop to think how th
12、e same techniques might be applied to engineering? Origami meets the demands for things that need to be small when transported and large when used, like the everyday umbrella. In fact, creations inspired by origami have already appeared: in 1995, Japanese engineers launched a satellite with solar pa
13、nels folded like a map.“Its now mathematically proven that you can fold almost anything，” says the physicist Robert J. Lang, who quit his engineering job eight years ago to fold things fulltime. Robert, an origami enthusiast since age six, advised a wellknown car manufacturer about the best way to f

Theres no doubt t

27、them hope.”可知，罗切斯特先生说这么一段很长的话，他完整地解释了自己的性格和自己的处境，其实是为了改变自己在简爱小姐心中的看法。故选C项。3答案与解析：D推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Youre like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, youll fly very high. Good night.”可知，这是罗切斯特先生对简爱小姐的鼓励。故选D项。B【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了折纸工艺的应用，从各种各样折叠式的东西到应用于工程学、太空等领域。4答案与解析：B推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The chanc
28、es are that as you do it, you reflect on how inventive this traditional art is.”可知，折纸工艺涉及有趣的想法。5答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据第三段中的“advised a wellknown car manufacturer about the best way to fold an airbag into a dashboard”可知，以最佳方式折叠安全气囊并放进汽车仪表盘是折纸工艺的一种应用。6答案与解析：A观点态度题。根据最后一段中Erik Demaine的话可知，他认为利用这种技术将来我们可以发明出可重新
29、配置的机器人，由此可以推断出，他对折纸在工程学中的应用抱有希望。7答案与解析：D出处判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了折纸工艺在工程学、太空等领域中的应用，由此可推知，本文可能出现在报纸上的科技版块中。C【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述第一次参加半程马拉松的Mike Kohler却误打误撞完成了全程马拉松比赛的经历。8答案与解析：B细节理解题。由第二段中的“The 8mile mark was when I figured out that I had made a mistake”可知，Mike Kohler是在跑了8公里后发现自己犯了个错误。故选B。9答案与解析：A推理判断题。由
