Unit 2 Poems 阅读理解 A ‎(2018·浙江温州检测)(CHINA DAILY Oct. 20th, 2016) It doesn’t seem that U．S. singer Bob Dylan has much in common with literary mavens(内行) like Ernest Hemingway and T．S. Elliot. But, last week, these three figures became forever bonded(黏合) by the Nobel Prize in Literature.‎ This year’s prize makes Dylan the first American since Toni Morrison in 1993 to win the title. At the same time, the surprising announcement has also burned a firestorm of discussion around the globe.‎ Influential U．S. writer Jodi Picoult joked that she might now deserve a Grammy(格莱美奖). And well－known British－Indian novelist Hari Kunzru lamented(悲叹) on social media by saying：“This feels like the lamest Nobel winner since they gave it to Obama for not being Bush.”‎ Dylan’s new status—a musician awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature—to a degree challenges tradition. However, this is by no means his first prize in his writing talents. Back in 2008, the Pulitzer Prize jury(普利策奖评委会) awarded Dylan a special award “for his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power”. To this point, it could be argued that what the Nobel Committee is doing is simply strengthening Dylan’s unshakable standing in the world of literature.‎ The words behind Dylan’s songs address social issues and have been spread from generation to generation. Protest songs like Blowing in the Wind(1962) were the anthems(圣歌) of anti－war and civil rights movements in the 1960s U．S. Densely poetic and image－rich songs such as Mr. Tambourine Man(1965) pushed the folk－rock movement. And even today, many of Dylan’s songs are still relevant and streamed regularly by people all over the world.‎ ‎【解题导语】　曾获得奥斯卡奖、普利策奖和格莱美奖等多项大奖的美国歌手鲍勃·迪伦，以其充满诗意的音乐作品又获得了诺贝尔文学奖，这也使他成为名副其实的跨界之王。‎ ‎1．Why has Bob Dylan’s winning the Nobel Prize caused a global discussion?‎ A．Because he has nothing in common with the Nobel Prize.‎ B．Because he is the first American Nobel Prize winner since 1993.‎ C．Because he won a special award from the Pulitzer Prize jury in 2008.‎ D．Because he is the first singer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature.‎ D　解析：推理判断题。根据第四段第一句Dylan’s new status—a musician awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature—to a degree challenges tradition.可知，美国歌手鲍勃·迪伦获得诺贝尔文学奖这件事引起全球性的热议，是因为他的歌手身份，故选D项。‎ ‎2．What is Hari Kunzru’s attitude to Bob Dylan’s winning the Nobel Prize?‎ A．Positive.　　　　　　　 B．Neutral.‎ C．Negative. D．Favorable.‎ 5‎ C　解析：推理判断题。positive意为“积极的；赞同的”；neutral意为“中立的”；negative意为“消极的；反对的”；favorable意为“支持的”。根据第三段最后一句话可知，著名英籍印度裔小说家哈里·孔兹鲁在社交媒体上抱怨说“这是自从把诺贝尔奖颁给奥巴马而不是布什以来，最没有说服力的诺贝尔奖。”由此可推出他持反对态度，故选C项。‎ ‎3．What may be the best title for this article?‎ A．Bob Dylan’s Achievements in Music B．A Brief Introduction of Bob Dylan’s Life C．Bob Dylan, a Famous U．S.

But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be fortune on which new hopes will arise.‎ In an accident，a boy lost both his arms and his father who was the main source of support for the family. Since then, he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother. For the sake of taking care of him, his younger brother became his shadow, never leaving him alone for years. Except for writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do anything in his life.‎ As the two brothers grew up together, they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel. Then one day, his younger brother wanted to leave, living his own life, as many normal people do. So he was heart－broken and didn’t know what to do.‎ A similar misfortune befell a girl, too. One night, her mother who suffered from chronic mental illness disappeared. Her father went out to look for her mother, leaving her alone at home. She tried to prepare meals for her parents, only to overturn the kerosene light on the stove, resulting in a fire which took her hands away.‎ Though her elder sister who was studying in another city showed her willingness to take care of her, she was determined to be completely independent. At school, she always studied hard. Most of all she learned to be self－reliant.‎ One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program. The boy told the TV host about his uncertain future at being left on his own, whereas the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life. They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wrote: My younger brother’s arms are my arms; while the girl wrote: Broken wings, flying heart.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过介绍两个不同的故事启迪我们积极勇敢地面对困难。‎ ‎4．What attitude should we take towards a misfortune in the author’s opinion?‎ A．Trying to find an escape from it.‎ B．Facing it bravely with a positive mind.‎ C．Asking for help from your relatives.‎ 5‎ D．Ignoring it and living a normal life.‎ B　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的第二句“But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be fortune on which new hopes will arise.”可推知，面对困难我们应当积极勇敢地面对，故B项正确。‎ ‎5．After the accident, the boy________．‎ A．decided to live with his brother B．learnt to do things with his toes C．made a living all by himself D．depended wholly on his brother D　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句“Since then, he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother.”可知，失去双臂后，他就完全依靠他的弟弟，故D项正确。‎ ‎6．Which of the following is TRUE of the girl?‎ A．She lost her mother in an accident.‎ B．Her sister took good care of her.‎ C．She was optimistic and full of courage.‎ D．She led a poor life with her father.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句中的“the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life”，并结合第五段可知，她决定独立生活，在学校努力学习；据此可知，女孩在事故后乐观而坚强，故C项正确。‎ ‎7．What did the girl mean by “Broken wings, flying heart.”？‎ A．Never give up hopes in face of hardship.‎ B．It’s not easy for her to live a normal life.‎ C．If a bird loses its wings, it can not fly.‎ D．If you lose your hands, your life will be hard.‎ A　解析：句意理解题。“Broken wings, flying heart.”为女孩用脚趾写的话，意为“失去双翼，心仍飞翔。”；结合最后一段第二句中的“the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life”和第五段可知，事故之后，她决定独立生活，在学校努力学习，乐观坚强地面对生活；据此可知，该句是说“面对困难，永远不要放弃希望”，故A项正确。‎ 七选五 Top Ways to Spend the Holiday Season with Pets Taking a nap is a great way to refresh during the holidays, and a nap with your dog or cat (or both) is an excellent bonding opportunity.‎ Holiday time is here.The decorating, the shopping, the cooking, the cleaning, the wrapping...1.________‎ In the season’s craziness, our furry family members tend to get ignored or overstimulated(过度刺激的).2.________But they don’t have to：be sure to pay attention and give them a break from the activity when they need it and add them to the fun when they don’t.‎ ‎·Rest time.‎ If your pet seems stressed, have a safe place for him away from activity.Cats should have a quiet, cozy spot to sleep with food, water, and their little box.3.________Be sure to have a soft area for sleep, a toy or two, water, and some food.But you might need a nap, too, to refresh for holiday festivities.So use this 5‎ ‎ time to take one together.‎ ‎·4.________‎ Many Christmas tree farms welcome pets on a leash(皮带)．Your pet will just love being with you outdoors while you share one of the season’s most honored traditions—picking out the perfect tree.Just be sure to call the farm first to confirm that pets are welcome...and you have a new annual tradition.‎ ‎·Go have a catch.‎ Give your pup a good run and wear him out ahead of when company visits.5.________This way, he’ll be happy and relaxed when greeting guests.Dog parks are ideal as pups can run, chase tennis balls, and socialize with others.Always remember to walk to and from the park with your pup on a leash and poop bags in hand.‎ A．Keep pets on a leash.‎ B．Dogs love playing catch.‎ C．Dogs might also need one.‎ D．But where do our pets fit in?‎ E．Pick out the family Christmas tree.‎ F．As a result, pets can experience restlessness and anxiety.‎ G．Many pets would love to be included in some of the activities.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。如何在假期和宠物一起度过一段美好时光？作者给我们提出了几条建议。‎ ‎1．D　解析：根据空格前面“The decorating, the shopping, the cooking, the cleaning, the wrapping...”可知，我们通常在假期会把时间花在装饰、购物、烹饪、打扫等事情上，D项表示“但我们把宠物置于何地？”与上文衔接紧凑，符合语境。故选D项。‎ ‎2．F　解析：根据上句“In the season’s craziness, our furry family members tend to get ignored or over－stimulated(过度刺激的)．”可知，此处应选F项，指“这样的话，宠物可能休息不好或焦虑”，与上句构成因果关系，符合语境。故选F项。‎ ‎3．C　解析：根据上句“Cats should have a quiet, cozy spot to sleep with food, water, and their little box.”及下句“Be sure to have a soft area for sleep, a toy or two, water, and some food.”可知，此处指宠物和人都需要有舒适的地方来休息。故C项“狗也需要一个这样的地方”能够承接上文，符合语境。故选C项。‎ ‎4．E　解析：文章倒数第二段主要介绍了作者建议我们带着宠物去挑选圣诞树。故E项“挑选家庭圣诞树”符合题意，适合作本段标题。故选E项。‎ ‎5．B　解析：根据本段标题中的关键词“catch”和空格处后的“This way, he’ll be happy and relaxed when greeting guests.”可知，B项“狗喜欢玩接球”符合语境。故选B项。‎ 语法填空 World Read Aloud Day is celebrated each year on the first Wednesday of March.It 1.____________(start) by the LitWorld.org in 2010 and has now reached 65 countries.
