课时作业B:能力层面
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2019·惠州第一次调研)I was selfish as a teenager,I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs.I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college.I let my mom and dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books,played,and lost myself in my own imagination.This didn't change even when I went to college either.I studied hard but only to make my own life better.Even when I started to explore my faith,it was only to increase my own happiness.
I married after graduation and decided to start a family.Of course,I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul.Soon I found myself unemployed,deeply in debt,and with a new baby on the way.I found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people.In fact,all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me.
Still,I didn't give up on happiness,I knew that there must be a way to find it.I finally realized,however,that it had to include more than just my own needs,wants,and desires.The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born.I got a bottle and held him in my arms.As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big,innocent,trusting eyes.I smiled and talked to him.Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing,expanding with love.I felt such peace and joy.At that moment I had a hint of the truth: it is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness.
Carolyn Arends wrote:“The more people you let into your heart,the bigger your heart gets.The more love you get,the more love you have to give.It just keeps growing.” So,keep loving,keep living and keep caring.Keep growing your heart today,tomorrow,and always.

(2019·合肥市第二次教学质量检测)A simple project to help a family in need stopped Luke Mickelson in his tracks.In 2012,he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed,one bed on top of the other,after learning there were local children who slept on the floor.Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community,Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace,a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.
Born and raised in Idaho,Mickelson,now 41,had a thriving career.He coached his kids' sports teams and fished in the nearby river.But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor,his peaceful life changed course.
Using safety guidelines and his daughter's bunk bed as a model,Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money.He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays.As the word spread,interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded—along with Mickelson's bunk bed output.“That first project,we built 11 bunk beds in my garage,” he said.“The next year,we did 15.Then it doubled every year.In 2017,we built 612 bunk beds.”
With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”, the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America.But along with the rapid growth,Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit.He chose the latter and went from making “great money to zero money”.He's never looked back.“I found that the need I have isn't financial,” he said.“The need I have is seeing the joy on kids' faces,knowing that I can make a difference.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。Mickelson为了让自己社区的无床可睡的孩子们能够有床睡觉,成立了一个公益组织“Sleep in Heavenly Peace”。

A.They showed little interest in it.
B.They were supportive and involved in it.
C.They were doubtful about the safety of the bunk bed.

(2019·陕西省部分学校摸底检测)Thomas Hardy,probably the most searching and knowledgeable novelist of his time,was born on June 2,1840,in Dorsetshire,England.He died on January 11,1928.In his youth,Hardy read much and dreamt of becoming a poet,but he studied and practiced architecture as an assistant to a London architect,winning a prize for design.The fine descriptions of structure in his novels were probably somewhat due to his architectural training.
For five years Hardy worked hard to practice writing poetry,but when he was twentyseven,he turned to fiction.His first novel finished by 1867,but according to the advice of George Meredith he decided not to publish it.After he abandoned his first novel,his another novel Desperate Remedies,appeared in 1871.During the next twentyfive years he published ten more novels and two collections of short stories.
Under the Greenwood Tree(1872) was never surpassed(超越) in happy and delicate perfection of art.This and his next novel,A Pair of Blue Eyes(1873),began to show deep irony(讽刺) which is so obvious throughout Hardy's writings.
Far from the Madding Crowd(1874) was his first popular success.It shows Hardy's amazing power of describing nature as symbolic background for his characters,an organic part of the action of his story.This was the earliest of what he called his novels of character and environment,which included The Return of the Native,Tess of the d'Urbervilles,his masterpiece,and Jude the Obscure.Not until he was fiftyeight years old was his first collection of poems published,and he was sixtyfour when the first part of his drama The Dynasts surprised the literary world.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作家Thomas Hardy的一些作品。

A.He could practice writing while working.

2.What is Thomas Hardy's Under the Greenwood Tree considered to be?
A.One of his masterworks.
B.His first popular success.
C.His best novel in perfection of art.
D.One of his best collections of poems.

(2019·大连市一模)
Rich as a King
WilliamⅠ,who conquered England some 950 years ago,had wealth,power and an army.Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time,he had nothing like a flush toilet(抽水马桶),paper towels,or a riding lawn mower(割草机).How did he get_by?
History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me.I have storm windows,Croesus did not.Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great,but he couldn't buy cat food.Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.
Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people,you'd think I'd be content.The trouble is that,like most people,I compare my wealth with that of living persons: neighbors,school classmates,famous TV people.The greed I feel toward my friend Howard's new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.
There is really no rising or falling standard of living.Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about.You'd think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood,but no,we want a hot bath too.
Of course,one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today's standards the things I own are pretty nice.My house is smaller than the houses of many investment bankers,but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.
Besides,to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future,these bankers' fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby.I can't keep up with my neighbors right now.But just wait.
【语篇解读】 本文主要通过同富有的古人对比启迪读者:生活没有必要攀比,要知足常乐。
5.What does the underlined phrase “get by” in the first paragraph mean?
A.Succeed as a king.
B.Deal with complaints.
C.Live in a satisfactory way.
D.Get some extra money.
C [词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句“Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people,you'd think I'd be content”,并结合对第一段第二句的理解可推知,没有现代这些便利的生活设备,富有的威廉一世如何才能生活得称心如意呢?由此可推知,画线短语表示“以一种令人满意的方式生活”,故选C。]
6.How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?
A.3. B.4.
C.5. D.6.
B [细节理解题。根据对第一段和第二段的理解可知,古今生活对比中作者列举了四个历史人物,他们分别是:William Ⅰ, Croesus,Alexander the Great和Czar Nicholas。]
7.According to the passage,the author intends to ________.
A.tell us to be content with life
B.warn us to live in a simple way
C.teach us to learn lessons from life
D.encourage us to struggle for wealth
A [写作意图题。根据文章的标题Rich as a King,并结合对全文的整体理解可推知,作者通过古今生活对比,告诉我们要知足常乐。]
8.What's the author's attitude towards life?
A.Doubtful. B.Optimistic.
C.Uncaring. D.Cautious.
B [观点态度题。根据最后两段,尤其是最后一段最后两句“I can't keep up with my neighbors right now.But just wait”可推知,作者对生活持乐观的态度。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2019·沈阳市教学质量监测一)Whoever wrote the song “It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” must have never experienced the holiday blues.Fortunately,psychological research suggests some effective ways you can use to beat the holiday blues.The key point is that sadness and other tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid.__1__.Here are four strategies to help you make your own happiness recipe this holiday season.
Don't force cheer
At family gatherings with cousins you secretly can't stand,you tend to put on a happy face.Indeed,that might even seem like the most mature response—no drama,no conflict.But a 2011 study followed dozens of bus drivers,looking to see when they gave forced or honest smiles at their passengers.The results showed when the drivers pretended to have a good mood,their actual moods got worse.__2__.
Let out sadness
The results of the busdriver study can be explained by researchers,who find that negative feelings like sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them.__3__.We don't like contradictory behavior.
Respond cautiously
Recently,scientists have been paying special attention to the benefits of caution.When you respond cautiously to an emotional trigger,you pause rather than react at once.__4__.Besides,it is associated with less anxiety,and may even carry physiological benefits.
__5__
Of course,the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows,but the most important lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall wellbeing.In other words,sadness,anger,and other difficult emotions are nothing to fear.Just make sure you're balancing them with lighter experiences.And don't forget to give yourself a break.
A.Relax your mind
B.Enjoy a mix of emotions
C.We tend to deny the important function emotions serve
D.Instead,they can help contribute to a healthy and happy life
E.So trying to force happiness seems to have the opposite effects
F.A cautious response to a negative event reduces sadness we experience
G.We feel bad when our appearance contradicts how we truly feel inside
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了缓解假期忧郁的四种策略。
1.D [承接上文“The key point is that sadness and other tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid”可知,负面情绪不是我们应该试图避免的,且与下文中的“Here are four strategies to help you make your own happiness recipe this holiday season”衔接,并结合下文介绍的策略可推知,此处表示负面情绪反而有助于健康、快乐地生活,故选D。]
2.E [结合本段小标题Don't force cheer和对本段的整体理解可推知,强颜欢笑会适得其反,故选E。]
3.G [根据上文中的“negative feelings like sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them”和下文中的“We don't like contradictory behavior”可推知,此处表示当我们的外表和内心的情感不一致时我们会感觉不开心,故选G。]
4.F [根据本段小标题Respond cautiously以及空前一句中的“When you respond cautiously”和空后一句“Besides,it is associated with less anxiety,and may even carry physiological benefits”可推知,F项符合语境,其中的“cautious response”也是提示。]

(2019·惠州第一次调研)I was selfish as a teenager,I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs.I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college.I let my mom and dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books,played,and lost myself in my own imagination.This didn't change even when I went to college either.I studied hard but only to make my own life better.Even when I started to explore my faith,it was only to increase my own happiness.
I married after graduation and decided to start a family.Of course,I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul.Soon I found myself unemployed,deeply in debt,and with a new baby on the way.I found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people.In fact,all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me.
Still,I didn't give up on happiness,I knew that there must be a way to find it.I finally realized,however,that it had to include more than just my own needs,wants,and desires.The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born.I got a bottle and held him in my arms.As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big,innocent,trusting eyes.I smiled and talked to him.Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing,expanding with love.I felt such peace and joy.At that moment I had a hint of the truth: it is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness.
Carolyn Arends wrote:“The more people you let into your heart,the bigger your heart gets.The more love you get,the more love you have to give.It just keeps growing.” So,keep loving,keep living and keep caring.Keep growing your heart today,tomorrow,and always.

(2019·合肥市第二次教学质量检测)A simple project to help a family in need stopped Luke Mickelson in his tracks.In 2012,he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed,one bed on top of the other,after learning there were local children who slept on the floor.Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community,Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace,a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.
Born and raised in Idaho,Mickelson,now 41,had a thriving career.He coached his kids' sports teams and fished in the nearby river.But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor,his peaceful life changed course.
Using safety guidelines and his daughter's bunk bed as a model,Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money.He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays.As the word spread,interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded—along with Mickelson's bunk bed output.“That first project,we built 11 bunk beds in my garage,” he said.“The next year,we did 15.Then it doubled every year.In 2017,we built 612 bunk beds.”
With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”, the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America.But along with the rapid growth,Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit.He chose the latter and went from making “great money to zero money”.He's never looked back.“I found that the need I have isn't financial,” he said.“The need I have is seeing the joy on kids' faces,knowing that I can make a difference.”

(2019·陕西省部分学校摸底检测)Thomas Hardy,probably the most searching and knowledgeable novelist of his time,was born on June 2,1840,in Dorsetshire,England.He died on January 11,1928.In his youth,Hardy read much and dreamt of becoming a poet,but he studied and practiced architecture as an assistant to a London architect,winning a prize for design.The fine descriptions of structure in his novels were probably somewhat due to his architectural training.
For five years Hardy worked hard to practice writing poetry,but when he was twentyseven,he turned to fiction.His first novel finished by 1867,but according to the advice of George Meredith he decided not to publish it.After he abandoned his first novel,his another novel Desperate Remedies,appeared in 1871.During the next twentyfive years he published ten more novels and two collections of short stories.
Under the Greenwood Tree(1872) was never surpassed(超越) in happy and delicate perfection of art.This and his next novel,A Pair of Blue Eyes(1873),began to show deep irony(讽刺) which is so obvious throughout Hardy's writings.
Far from the Madding Crowd(1874) was his first popular success.It shows Hardy's amazing power of describing nature as symbolic background for his characters,an organic part of the action of his story.This was the earliest of what he called his novels of character and environment,which included The Return of the Native,Tess of the d'Urbervilles,his masterpiece,and Jude the Obscure.Not until he was fiftyeight years old was his first collection of poems published,and he was sixtyfour when the first part of his drama The Dynasts surprised the literary world.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作家Thomas Hardy的一些作品。

A.He could practice writing while working.
B.He made a lot of money to support his writing.
C.He found material for his novels and poems.

D [细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“The fine descriptions of structure in his novels were probably somewhat due to his architectural training”可知,在他的小说中细腻的结构描述可能得益于他在建筑方面的学习训练,即他把建筑知识应用到了他的小说中。故选D项。]
2.What is Thomas Hardy's Under the Greenwood Tree considered to be?
A.One of his masterworks.
B.His first popular success.
C.His best novel in perfection of art.
D.One of his best collections of poems.

A.Desperate Remedies
B.A Pair of Blue Eyes
C.Tess of the d'Urbervilles

(2019·大连市一模)
Rich as a King
WilliamⅠ,who conquered England some 950 years ago,had wealth,power and an army.Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time,he had nothing like a flush toilet(抽水马桶),paper towels,or a riding lawn mower(割草机).How did he get_by?
History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me.I have storm windows,Croesus did not.Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great,but he couldn't buy cat food.Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.
Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people,you'd think I'd be content.The trouble is that,like most people,I compare my wealth with that of living persons: neighbors,school classmates,famous TV people.The greed I feel toward my friend Howard's new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.
There is really no rising or falling standard of living.Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about.You'd think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood,but no,we want a hot bath too.
Of course,one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today's standards the things I own are pretty nice.My house is smaller than the houses of many investment bankers,but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.
Besides,to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future,these bankers' fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby.I can't keep up with my neighbors right now.But just wait.
【语篇解读】 本文主要通过同富有的古人对比启迪读者:生活没有必要攀比,要知足常乐。
5.What does the underlined phrase “get by” in the first paragraph mean?
A.Succeed as a king.
B.Deal with complaints.
C.Live in a satisfactory way.
D.Get some extra money.
C [词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句“Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people,you'd think I'd be content”,并结合对第一段第二句的理解可推知,没有现代这些便利的生活设备,富有的威廉一世如何才能生活得称心如意呢?由此可推知,画线短语表示“以一种令人满意的方式生活”,故选C。]
6.How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?
A.3. B.4.
C.5. D.6.
B [细节理解题。根据对第一段和第二段的理解可知,古今生活对比中作者列举了四个历史人物,他们分别是:William Ⅰ, Croesus,Alexander the Great和Czar Nicholas。]
7.According to the passage,the author intends to ________.
A.tell us to be content with life
B.warn us to live in a simple way
C.teach us to learn lessons from life
D.encourage us to struggle for wealth
A [写作意图题。根据文章的标题Rich as a King,并结合对全文的整体理解可推知,作者通过古今生活对比,告诉我们要知足常乐。]
8.What's the author's attitude towards life?
A.Doubtful. B.Optimistic.
C.Uncaring. D.Cautious.
B [观点态度题。根据最后两段,尤其是最后一段最后两句“I can't keep up with my neighbors right now.But just wait”可推知,作者对生活持乐观的态度。]

At family gatherings with cousins you secretly can't stand,you tend to put on a happy face.Indeed,that might even seem like the most mature response—no drama,no conflict.But a 2011 study followed dozens of bus drivers,looking to see when they gave forced or honest smiles at their passengers.The results showed when the drivers pretended to have a good mood,their actual moods got worse.__2__.
Let out sadness
The results of the busdriver study can be explained by researchers,who find that negative feelings like sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them.__3__.We don't like contradictory behavior.
Respond cautiously
Recently,scientists have been paying special attention to the benefits of caution.When you respond cautiously to an emotional trigger,you pause rather than react at once.__4__.Besides,it is associated with less anxiety,and may even carry physiological benefits.
