Unit 3 A taste of English humour李仕才一、阅读理解Whenever we see a button,we want to press it because we know that something will happen.This is true in most cases,for example,on a doorbell.But some buttons are actually fake(假的),like the “close”button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the“close”button because they don't have the patience to wait.But lifts'“close” buttons are a complete trick,at least in the US—the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US,making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter safely.Only repair workers can use the buttons to speed up the door­closing process if they h ave special keys.But to normal lift riders,the buttons aren't completely useless.According to psychologists,fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“A sense of control is very important.It reduces stress and incr easeswell­being,”said Ellen J.Langer,a psychology professor at HarvardUniversity.Experts also added that a lot of buttons that don't do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example,pedestrian crosswalk buttons don't live up to their names either.Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster,but that was before computer­controlled traffic signals were introduced.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little“white lies”,they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close,it is considered to be worth the effort.1.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To describe different fake buttons.B.To explore the functions of fake buttons.C.To analyze various habits of pushing buttons.D.To explain the disadvantages of fake buttons.2.What can we learn about the“close”buttons on a lift in America?A.They work when people press them hard.B.They were designed for a sense of control.C.They nev er speed up the door­closing process.D.They take the safety of the disabled into account.3.What can we infer about pedestrian crosswalk buttons?A.They can make people feel better.B.They help computers work faster.C.They can control the traffic signals.D.They help pedestrians cross safely.4.Which may be the best title for the passage?A.Buttons in the USAB.Buttons Always LieC.Buttons May Not WorkD.“Close”Buttons on Lifts【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了我们平时生活中所见到的按钮可能是不起作用的。

Unit 3 A taste of English humour李仕才一、阅读理解。

Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My f ather is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only ” mome nt, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a computer, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”. When my fat her announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be there. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality(可能发生的事). And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying mys elf peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.1.Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule ?A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.2.The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to __________.A. keep her appointment with the eye doctorB. meet her father who was already an old manC. join in the holiday celebration of the companyD. finish her work before the deadline approaching3.The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closed in meaning to “_________”.A. abandonedB. lackedC. avoidedD. wasted4.What is the best title for the passage ?A. The Emotional Well-beingB. The Two Saddest WordsC. The Most Useful RuleD. The Peace of Mind【文章大意】这篇文章主要讲解的是作者对于最悲哀的两个单词if only 的理解及看法。

Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.1. What does the author seem to like about cherries?A. They contain protein.B. They are high in vitamin A.C. They have a pleasant taste.D. They are rich in antioxidants.2. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A. To make them smell better.B. To keep their colour.C. To speed up their ripening.D. To improve their nutrition.3. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?A. A dessert.B. A drink.C. A container.D. A machine.4. From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A research paper.D. A travel brochure.【文章大意】本文是一篇日常生活类说明文。

Unit 3 A taste of English humour李仕才***阅读理解。

The Amazon basin region is home to about 2.5 million insect species,tens of thousands of plants,and some 2 000 birds and mammals.To date,at least 40 000 plant species,3 000 fish,1 294 birds,427 mammals,428 amphibians,and 378 reptiles have been scientifically classified in the region.One in five of all the birds in the world live in the rainforests of the Amazon.The warm wet forests have been in existence for 55 million years,and thrived even during glacial periods,allowing for the evolution of an unbelievable diversity of species.Radiocarbon dating(放射性碳年代测定)has revealed trees of 10 centimeter diameter to be more than 300 years old,and some trees over 1 000 years old,indicating that untouched forests can experience unbelievable longevity.The first human inhabitants are thought to have settled in the Amazon region about 11 200 years ago.European explorers arrived in the 16th century,bringing diseases which traveled faster than the explorers themselves,killing perhaps as many as 90% of the indigenous inhabitants(土著居民).By the late 17th century the Amazon basin was controlled by Portuguese and Spanish explorers.The Amazon rainforest has been described as the lungs of our planet because of its important role in recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen.But due to deforestation(采伐森林),rainforests now cover less than 5% of the Earth's land surface,and experts believe that this is a big contributor to global climate change.Severe deforestation began in the 20th century,with 587 000 square kilometers lost up to the year 2000.Most deforested land is used for grassland to raise farm animals and agriculture.The addition of transport routes has led to increased settlement and deforestation,and at the present rate,scientists estimate that the Amazon rainforest will be reduced by 40% in two decades.1.Why are the figures mentioned in Paragraph 1?A.To prove the forest untouched.B.To classify species scientifically.C.To show the diversity of species.D.To attract more attention to Amazon.2.Why did most indigenous inhabitants in the Amazon region die?A.European explorers brought diseases there.B.Portuguese explorers treated them badly.C.A lot of trees were cut down and burned.D.They got killed by Spanish explorers.3.What can be inferred about the Amazon rainforest?A.It has the largest number of species.B.It covers over 5% of South America.C.It is becoming larger in area.D.It is being endangered now.4.What may be included in the following paragraph?A.Examples of destroying forests.B.Measures to protect rainforests.C.New settlements in Amazon.D.Ways to stop global warming.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了亚马逊热带雨林正面临消失的危险。
