阅读理解提升练(十)‎ A ‎(2018· 浙江超级全能生3月联考)‎ Unless your parent is a head chef or bento box(便当盒) master,school lunch is usually nothing to write home about.For artist and father Dominick Cabalo,however,his son Nicholas’s lunches are an oil painting cloth for creativity.Cabalo makes carefully designed drawings on each of 12-year-old Nicholas’s paper lunch bags,usually representing popular lively characters and colorful superheroes.‎ Cabalo began drawing on the bags about three years ago to help Nicholas make new friends in elementary school.“I noticed he was a bit shy when it came to talking to others,” he said.“So by creating a piece of artwork to ‘break the ice,’ kids would come up to him and start talking and hopefully a conversation,or better yet,a new friendship,would start.”‎ Though Nicholas is in middle school now,he still asks his dad to draw on the lunch bags,and will make requests for characters or drawings that he’d like to see on the next bag.Cabalo has drawn about 400 lunch bags in the past 3 years.He explained that the bags have really helped his son become more confident at school.“He’s broken out of his shell because of this,and I like to think that I had a hand in helping him do this with these bags,” he wrote.‎ Nicholas keeps most of the bags.“Some come back in better condition than others,” Cabalo said.“We may lose one to the occasional wet sandwich or leaky drink,but that’s to be expected.” As for the bags that make it home undamaged,Cabalo posts their photos to social media.His favorites are the more time-consuming series of bags that can be joined up to create a larger image,such as the “Finding Nemo” triptych below.‎ ‎1.What special feature makes Nicholas’s lunch bags distinguish?‎ A.Delicious food cooked by a head chef or bento box master.‎ B.Beautiful oil paintings produced by highly creative artists.‎ C.Popular characters and colorful superheroes stuck to them.‎ D.Lively pictures carefully drawn by the kid’s loving father.‎ ‎2.Why did Cabalo draw on the lunch bags in the very beginning?‎ A.To help his son to make new friends.‎ B.To make his son’s lunch boxes attractive.‎ C.To encourage his son to be more confident.‎ D.To improve his son’s academic performance.‎ ‎3.Which of the following best describes the father’s gesture?‎ 4‎ A.Friendly.

a policy for forest fires called Natural Burn.It was acknowledged that some forest fires,such as those caused by lightning,were necessary for forests to maintain balanced ecosystems,so the fire should be allowed to burn.However,a big fire in Yellowstone National Park in 1988 caused this policy to be abandoned since the fire was initially allowed to burn yet soon out of control.As a result,the fire of 1988 destroyed much of Yellowstone,which is America’s oldest and most beloved national park.Massive areas of plants were destroyed,and large empty spaces and acres of burned and blackened trees greeted visitors.The rivers and streams were choked with ash,and the ecosystem of the park was changed beyond repair.‎ In addition,great numbers of animals were killed by the fires that burned out of control.The fires were driven by high winds,moving as many as ten miles a day.Many small animals died in the flames.The fires’ rapid advances gave the wildlife little chance to escape.Even today,few of these small forest animals have returned to live in the park.In the years immediately following the fires,the numbers of visitors declined rapidly.No one was interested in seeing a blackened and treeless park on vacation.Yellowstone had previously been famous for its amazing views and unique geological formations such as the Old Faithful Geyser.But now its reputation as America’s wonder is damaged permanently.‎ ‎5.Natural Burn was adopted because some forest fires were 　　　. ‎ A.hard to put out B.started by lightning C.good for the balance of nature D.approved by National Park Service ‎6.Why were so many animals killed in the big fire?‎ A.Because winds were blown from high places.‎ B.Because the animals moved only ten miles a day.‎ C.Because the animals lived in lower places.‎ D.Because strong winds contributed to the fire a lot.‎ ‎7.The text probably comes from 　　　. ‎ A.a science fiction B.a news report C.a commercial ad D.a geography magazine C I grew up in a family that ate dinner together every evening.Although my parents enjoyed wine,they rarely drank during the week and were always in moderation(节制).As for myself,I wasn’t interested in alcoholic drinks and neither were my high school friends.‎ So when I arrived on campus for my first year of university life,I was a bit shocked.Many different events had been organized for the freshmen,but they all had one thing in common—alcohol,and plenty of it.Not wanting to be left out,I joined a few of the events.But I always returned home early,feeling disappointed.Your 4‎ ‎ personality,interests and experiences didn’t matter at all,only how many alcoholic drinks you could absorb before passing out(喝醉).It seemed shallow to me.I wanted to get to know my new classmates,not how fast they could down a pint of beer.‎ Gradually,however,I realized that real friends don’t judge you by how much you can drink and there were other ways of making friends.I joined a photography society,took a first aid course,and every weekend I went cycling with a classmate.I found that by engaging in these activities and sharing the fun of learning new skills together in a group,I formed much stronger bonds with my new friends than even the strongest alcoholic drinks could encourage.‎ Another valuable lesson I learned is that it’s perfectly okay to say “No” if you don’t want to drink.However,in many Western societies,especially the UK,binge drinking(狂喝) has become the norm.Many people who drink don’t necessarily want to,but they give in to the peer pressure(同伴压力)—they’re afraid to say “No”.‎ ‎8.What shocked the author when he entered university?‎ A.The strange campus.‎ B.The popularity of alcohol.‎ C.The drunken classmates.‎ D.The limited activities.‎ ‎9.Why did the author return home early from the events at first?‎ A.He wasn’t good at drinking.‎ B.He had no familiar classmates.‎ C.He hated the way people got along.‎ D.He was left out by the organizers.‎ ‎10.How did the author finally make real friends at university?‎ A.By saying “No” to alcoholic drinks.‎ B.By staying away from group activities.‎ C.By giving in to the peer pressure.‎ D.By joining people with common interests.‎ 4‎
