Ⅳ.完形填空Some people believe that women are better drivers than men.__1__， others think that women make worse drivers.The idea that women make __2__ drivers is a stereotype (刻板印象)．It comes from a time when women drove less than men, and __3__was seen as a man's responsibility.There are certainly __4__ views on this controversial question, __5__ there are a number of reasons why a woman's personality makes her a more competent (能胜任的) driver.Firstly, women are more patient and polite towards other road __6__， such as pedestrians and cyclists.In stressful situations they are more likely to stay __7__，and less likely to be involved in “road rage (愤怒)” incidents.Secondly, female drivers are more __8__ so they take fewer risks, for example when overtaking.Thirdly, they are more responsible and __9__ they tend not to drive when tired or after drinking alcohol.__10__， many people argue that women cause accidents because they may react slowly because they __11__ confidence.In addition, they are __12__ disturbed, for example, by children in the car.Research also __13__ that women find map reading more __14__ than men, and can have problems with the difference between left and right.Despite the fact that women have more accidents, __15__ is often cheaper for them because the accidents tend to be minor.In particular, women have accidents when parking.Thisis because women often have __16__ spatial (空间的) awareness.In contrast, men tend to __17__ more serious accidents.To sum up, it can be seen that women make __18__ drivers than men because of their __19__.This is generally __20__ by the fact that women have fewer accidents and pay lower insurance than men.On balance, it is clear that women are less competitive and aggressive than men behind the wheel and therefore better drivers.1．A.Besides B．HoweverC．Otherwise D．Therefore2．A.brighter B．betterC．worse D．nicer3．A.driving B．workingC．teaching D．inventing4．A.popular B．strongC．positive D．different5．A.since B．unlessC．although D．when6．ers B．plannersC．engineers D．cleaners7．A.quiet B．silentC．calm D．healthy8．A.cautious B．honestC．dangerous D．nervous9．A.still B．yetC．even D．thus10．A.At the same time B．In factC．On the other hand D．In general11．A.have B．lackC．share D．lose12．A.easily B．slightlyC．normally D．unexpectedly13．A.studies B．producesC．explores D．shows14．A.interesting B．importantC．difficult D．relaxing15．A.route B．insuranceC．license D．equipment16．A.poor B．deepC．direct D．full17．A.survive B．causeC．prevent D．record18．A.cleverer B．happierC．greater D．safer19．A.confidence B．habitC．faith D．personality20．A.decided B．supportedC．affected D．expressedⅤ.阅读理解AIn the 1940s, Lena Horne was the first AfricanA merican in Hollywood to sign a longterm contract with a major movie studio.Her deal with MGM stated that she would never play the role of a servant.During this period, AfricanAmerican actors were mostly limited to playing servants or African natives.But this refusal also limited her movie career.Horne was generally only offered the role of a nightclub singer.Her characters did not interact with white characters in these movies.This way, her part could be cut from the version of the movie that played in Southern States.Lena Horne later wrote that the movie producers did not make her into a servant, but they did not make her into anything else, either.Lena Horne once said that World War Ⅱ helped make her a star.She was popular with both black and white ser vicemen.She sang on army radio programs and traveled to perform for the troops.During one event, she noted that German prisoners of war were permitted to sit closer to the stage than black soldiers.These experiences led to Lena Horne's work in the civil rightsmovement.She protested racial separation at the hotels where she performed.She took action so that she and her musicians would be permitted to stay in those hotels.Black musicians at the time generally stayed in black neighborhoods.Lena Horne also sang at civil rights gatherings.She took part in the March on Washington protest in 1963.It was during this event that Martin Luther King Junior gave his “I Have a Dream” speech.Lena Horne performed in a strong and expressive way.One expert said she was not warm and amiable like white female singers at the time.Instead, she was a fierce black woman.1．From Paragraph 2, we know that Lena Horne's deal with MGM ________.A．won her a lot of respectB．didn't bring her any good rolesC．made her popular in the USD．made her become a famous singer2．When Lena Horne saw how German prisoners and black soldiers were seated, how did she most probably feel?A．Angry. B．Satisfied.C．Interested. D．Moved.3．Paragraph 4 mainly tells about Lena Horne's ________.A．hope for a bright futureB．effort she put into musicC．effort against racial separationD．relationship with Martin Luther King Junior4．What does the underlined word “amiable” in the last paragraph mean?A．Ugly. B．Boring.C．Brave. D．Friendly.BAron Anderson, aged 10, lives on the small island of Out Skerries, which sits hundreds of miles off the coast of Scotland and is home to just 70 people.Since Anderson's older brothers and their friends moved to secondary school earlier this year, Anderson has become the only kid at his school.The 10yearold made headlines last week when The Telegraph reported how Anderson only had his dog and a few local ducks for company.His story of isolation touched the hearts of the general public so much that there's now a campaign for strangersto send him Christmas cards — and it's getting worldwide support.The campaign was shared on Reddit by moderator (主持人) BesottedScot, who said he was moved by Anderson's story.The moderator decided to ask his fellow Internet users to send the little boy Christmas cards.“I phoned his school to let them know that I was planning this, and that I suggested his parents or his teacher help him open the cards，” said BesottedScot.“We have 20,000 subscribers (用户) here and if even 1% of you send a card, that's 200 cards to a lonely boy to cheer his Christmas right up.I hope you'll do me the favor and send some nice cards.I really want him to get a big smile on his face, so please write a message in the card to show your support，” adds the Reddit moderator.Many people have responded to the call saying they'll send the little boy a Christmas card, including people from Canada and the US.And BesottedScot has asked that people send the cards on 7 December, so they will all arrive around the same time.5．What does the underlined word “isolation” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Courage. B．Experience.C．Loneliness. D．Friendship.6．With his words in Paragraph 4, BesottedScot is actually ________.A．giving an order B．making an appealC．making a comment D．giving an explanation7．For Anderson, this Christmas will be a time of ________.A．joy B．sorrowC．trouble D．opportunity8．What's the best title for the text?A．Life of the loneliest schoolboy in BritainB．A poor schoolboy is eager for Christmas cardsC．A school project gets support from the InternetD．The loneliest schoolboy to get a merry Christmas课下能力提升(三)Ⅰ.1.audience 2.intend 3.generation 4．deliver 5.rate 6.kindness 7.sickness8．referred 9.considerate 10.modestⅡ.1.by chance 2.second to ter on 4.caught my eye e across 6.looked down upon 7.referred to 8.carry on 9.is intended for 10.free fromⅢ.1.referred to 2.met her by chance 3.is intended for 4.deliver a speech 5.carry on withⅣ.1．解析：选B 前后句之间表示转折关系，故用“然而(However)”。

why.There were many questions at the time about whether Jessica would be able to live a “normal” life.However, Jessica's father said, “I have never shed a tear about her birth condit ion.”With the support of her parents and family, Jessica became confident in herself as an adult and continued to explore the world with her feet.As a child, Jessica studied dance in her hometown.When the first performance arrived, she asked to be put in the back row.Her dance teacher told her there was no back row.Nervously, she took the stage with the other students and performed her routine.When she

became the first armless person to earn a black belt in the club.Jessica's most famous accomplishment was learning how to fly.It took three states, four airplanes, two flight instructors and a discouraging year to find the right aircraft.She received the Guinness World Record for being the first person permitted to fly an airplane with only her feet.Now Jessica works as a motivational

unusual concept for a bookstore.He sells books of a sort at a time in a shop located in Ginza, Tokyo's luxury shopping district.You might argue that it's hardly a bookstore if you can't go in and spend at least a few hours looking through hundreds of books, but Morioka never intended to create a classic bookstore.He notes that it's like a weekly suggested reading service.You just go in and directly pick up the book chosen for the week, relieving yourself of the burden of choice.“Before this bookstore, I had been running another one in Kayabacho for ten years，”Morioka said, “There, I used to organize book launches (新书发布)．During such events, a lot of people visited the store for a single book.I started to believe that perhaps with just one book, a bookstore could be managed.”To finance the store, Morioka sold his huge collection of Japanese wartime propaganda (宣传资料)．The store is very small, with walls and ceiling barely covered with a thin coat ofwhite paint.An oldfashioned cupboard with many drawers serves as the counter, while a wooden table in the center displays the title of the week.The bookstore serves as an exhibition of the book and its plot, making the story come alive.Morioka also asks the author to be at the bookstore for as much time as possible.It isn't clear how Morioka goes about choosing which book to sell.However, he has sold out a total of 2, 000 books up to now.“The concept of this booksto re seems to have gained the sympathy of people, and I receive a number of guests from all over the globe, ”he said.5．What makes Morioka's bookstore special?A．It is in the shopping center.B．The authors act as salesmen there.C．It only sells a kind of book every week.D．The stories in the books are performed there.6．According to Morioka, his new concept ________.A．brings convenience to peopleB．is against booklaunch eventsC．agrees with the classic bookstoreD．gives people more choices in reading7．What do we know about Morioka?A．He doesn't know how to run a business.B．He got money support by selling his collections.C．He got the idea of the new bookstore from readers.D．He opened the bookstore to organize book launches.8．What can we learn about the bookstore?A．It is welldecorated.B．It has been well received.C．Its daily sales are 2, 000.D．It offers service to the Japanese only.CThe Adler Planetarium (天文馆) is part of the lake front's

高中英语人教版必修四习题：Unit 3课下能力提升十二 含答案
Unit 3 课下能力提升(十二)Ⅰ.阅读理解Mr Bean is an internationally recognized comedy character on TV and in films. He always gets into awkward and absurd (荒谬的) situations, which greatly amuses audience regardless of their nationality or culture. The humour is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely simply on body language.One of my favourite shows is Mr Bean in a restaurant. After being seated at his table, Mr Bean takes out a card, writes a few words on it, seals (密封) it in an envelope and places it on the table. After a moment, he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised, as if he did not know it was there. He opens it to find a birthday card and happily puts it on the table for everyone to see.When he looks at the menu, a surprised look quickly appears on his face. He takes all the money out of his wallet, counts it and puts it in a saucer (茶托). He then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he finds one thing that makes him smile. Then he orders a dish called “steak tartare”. When the dish arrives, he is shocked to discover that “steak tartare” is actually raw hamburger. He makes an attempt to eat it, but it is clear from the look on his face that he finds the taste truly disgusting. He can't hide his feelings, except when a waiter asks if everything is all right. When this happens, he smiles and nods, showing that everything is fine. When the waiters are not looking, however, he hides the raw meat anywhere he can reach — the sugar bowl, the tiny flower vase, and under a plate. He becomes so desperate (孤注一掷的) in the end that he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurant's violinist!I like to watch Mr Bean on TV, but I wouldn't like to meet someone like him in real life and I certainly wouldn't like to have dinner with him!1．From the passage, we know Mr Bean is famous for ________.A．making filmsB．his spoken EnglishC．playing a role in all kinds of filmsD．his funny performances in comedies2．Why is Mr Bean famous all over the world?A．He often has meals in special restaurants.B．He amuses the audience from different countries.C．He acts on TV and in films.D．He acts on body language and spoken language.3．What does the underlined word “disgusting” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Delicious. B．Strange.C．Unpleasant. D．Fresh.4．Why does Mr Bean pretend to smile in front of the waiter?A．Because he doesn't want the waiter to feel bad.B．Because he doesn't want to say bad things.C．Because he likes to express himself in the opposite way.D．Because he thinks the waiter dislikes him.Ⅱ.任务型阅读How to make new friends quicklyFriends come and go.

Unit 1 课下能力提升(四)Ⅰ.阅读理解Following Christmas dinner, my family was relaxing around the kitchen table. We were discussing the delicious meal we had just had. Dad had risen from his chair and was standing nearby.My nephew began playing with his new basketball around the table. Upon nearing Dad, he stopped. With shaking, wrinkled hands, Dad had reached out for the ball. He did not speak, and the boy looked at us in confusion. After a few seconds, he carefully passed the ball to Dad. I watched my father closely to see what he would do. A playful smile appeared on his face. Holding the ball and reaching forward, Dad bounced it on the floor and then caught it.This action was repeated. Smiling with satisfaction, he then turned towards us. Gently tossing (投掷) the ball away, Dad began a game of catch.The ball continued to be passed through pairs of outstretched hands. Cries of “Over here！”rang through the warm kitchen. Dad's active participation in this game was remarkable to me, since he had dementia (痴呆)．This disease had robbed him of many memories and the recognition of people, places and points in time. Despite this, Dad clearly recognized the ball and what he could do with it.In my younger years, playing with Dad was rare. He worked hard and provided for us, but never showed nor shared much emotion.His favorite game was chess, which he once taught me how to play. But after his illness, connecting moments between father and son had been few before he took the basketball.I'm not sure how long we played the game. Watching the clock was not important. Dad happily led us until he began to tire.I know that that moment will certainly last forever.This Christmas, Dad gave me a special memory — one that I will always treasure.1．The method the writer uses to develop the second paragraph is________．A．offering analyses B．providing detailsC．giving examples D．making comparisons2．The author's father's active participation in the game surprised the authorbecause________．A．it was the first time he had taken part in such a gameB．he was able to recognize his family members clearlyC．he could have a rest and relax by playing the ball gameD．he could recognize the ball and react accordingly, despite his illness 3．What can we learn about the author's father from the text?A．His sickness made it difficult for him to recognize people.B．When the author was young, he spent a lot of time playing with him.C．He taught the author how to play basketball and the game of catch.D．He worked hard and liked to share his feelings with his family.4．What would be the best title for this text?A．A Son's LoveB．A Father's SmilesC．The Happiness of a Sick FatherD．Unforgettable Memories at ChristmasⅡ.任务型阅读As a parent, you must have a lot of concerns about the various skills you would like your child to acquire.
