27、s because theyre the ones which inspire us to fight and do better.限时规范练26(必修5Module 2)一、【篇章导读】本文是记叙文。因为一次溺水事件失去儿子的Wanda Butts创建了一个教非裔美国儿童学习游泳的非营利组织。1.A细节理解题。由第二段可知,因为不会游泳且未穿救生衣,Josh在湖中与朋友们乘船航行时溺亡。2.C推理判断题。第三段主旨句为第一句,即Josh的情况在美国非裔群体中并不罕见。接下来作者引用两个组织提供的数据来支持这个说法,70%的非裔美国儿童不会游泳,且在5到14岁年龄段的儿童之中,非裔美国儿童溺亡
28、的人数要比白人儿童高出几倍。因此,这些数据是为了说明非裔美国儿童当中有许多人都不会游泳。3.D细节理解题。由第四段中的“The swimming lessons.four Saturdays”以及最后一段中的“where the children.just once a week”可知,该组织每周六开设游泳课程,一周一次。4.B推理判断题。由倒数第四段中Haynes所说的话可知,她的儿子通过游泳课程学会了基本的游泳技能,她对此很感激。因此可推断,Haynes认为该公益组织开设的游泳课程很有用。【篇章导读】本文是议论文。文章就旅行途中过度使用社交媒体的现象进行了讨论。5.B推理判断题。第一段讲述
29、了一个女游客的故事,她在一个景点自拍,目光一直注视着相机,而对周围美丽的景色和充满历史气息的建筑不屑一顾。作者通过这个故事引出了本文的话题,即旅游过程中过度使用社交媒体的问题。6.C细节理解题。由第三段中的“going through his Facebook.at work”以及“Im so depressed.the most wonderful time”可知,作者的这位朋友浏览社交媒体朋友圈之后,认为他的朋友们都去了很棒的地方,玩得很开心,而他却在工作,这让他感到很沮丧。7.C推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“surprised by how many of my followers li
30、ked it”以及“that ice cream didnt.a bit of a liar”可知,虽然作者发布的美味冰激凌的照片不能反映她假日的总体情况,但她社交媒体上的朋友们很喜欢这张照片,并认为它反映了作者的假日。因此推断,在社交媒体上的朋友们看来,作者在日本度假时很愉快。8.B推理判断题。由最后一段中的“We want to remember.helps us do that”以及“But lets not forget.in that place”可知,作者承认旅游时使用社交媒体可以帮人们记录美好时刻,但她认为人们应该记住照片只是旅游的一部分,更重要的是享受一个地方带给你的亲身体验。
31、二、【篇章导读】本文是记叙文。美国堪萨斯州的一位十一岁女孩用手语挽救了别人的生命。1.A由上文的“Yesenia Diosdado.got off a school bus”可知,当“校车(bus)”离开Yesenia下车的地方后,她看到了正在处理中的交通事故。2.D由下文提及车祸中的伤者可知,警察和急救人员正在照料三车相撞事故中的“受伤人员(victims)”。3.B由下文Yesenia向伤者提供帮助可知,她下了校车后“加入(joined)”到围观的人群中。4.C由下文的“the womans neck was injured”可知,Yesenia注意到一个“受伤的(injured)”女士。
32、5.D由using sign language和but一词的转折可知,受伤的女士试图通过手语与急救人员“交流(communicate)”,但那位急救人员不“明白(understand)”她在说什么。6.D见上题解析。7.B由下文Yesenia提供帮助可知,急救人员“请求要(ask for)”一名懂手语的翻译。8.A由下文Yesenia说“I sign.Can I help?”可知,懂手语的Yesenia跑到护理人员面前去“帮忙(help)”。9.CYesenia的妈妈曾经是一位手语翻译者,故她“教会(taught)”Yesenia姐妹们如何“讲手语(sign)”。10.B见上题解析。11.C十
33、一岁的小女孩会手语且能主动提供帮助,这让Chris Winger 很“惊讶(surprised)”。12.C懂手语的Yesenia把受伤女人的手语意思“解释(explain)”给医护人员。13.A由上文的“the womans neck was injured”可知,那个女人“伤(hurt)”得很厉害。14.CYesenia对自己能给别人提供“一些(something)”帮助而感到自豪。15.BYesenia主动给他人提供帮助是“英勇的(brave)”行为。16.B由“her mother.wasnt surprised”可知,妈妈对Yesenia帮助他人的行为一点也不吃惊,认为这是她的 “天
34、性(nature)”。17.D车祸中的女士受伤严重,Yesenia能够意识到车祸的“严重性(seriousness)”并对此主动给予帮助,这让她的妈妈感受颇深,因为很多成年人都不一定会这样“做(done)”。18.B见上题解析。19.C对于Yesenia主动提供帮助的举措,急救中心的人员“授予(presented)”Yesenia一枚金币和一份证书以示感谢。20.BYesenia的家人没有听力障碍,但她的妈妈还是教会她们姐妹们如何讲手语,由此可知,Yesenia的妈妈认为“你不(never)会知道手语哪天就可以用上”。三、第一句:wentgo;happy后加as第二句:bebeing;usyou第三句:inwith;去掉of第四句:membermembers;deepdeeply第五句:ana;whichwho/that
