课时作业(十三)Ⅰ.阅读理解AA child was standing on a street-corner，kicking carelessly at the stone on the ground.After a time，a little dark-brown dog came running down the sidewalk.A short rope was dragging from its neck.It stopped opposite the child.The child put out his hand and called it.The dog came close，and the two had an interchange of friendly pats and waggles.The dog became more enthusiastic with each moment of the interview，until it prepared to overturn(扑倒) the child，so the child lifted his hand and struck the dog a blow upon the head.This thing seemed to overpower and astonish the little dark-brown dog，and wounded it to the heart.It sank down in despair at the child's feet.When the blow was repeated，it turned over upon its back，and held its paws in an unusual manner.At the same time with its ears and eyes it offered a small prayer to the child.It looked so funny on its back，holding its paws strangely，that the child was greatly amused and gave it little taps repeatedly to keep it so.But the little dark-brown dog took this in the most serious way，and no doubt considered that it had committed some serious crime，for he twisted regretfully and showed its regret in every way that was in his power.It appealed to the child and offered more prayers.At last the child grew tired of this amusement and turned toward home.The dog lay on its back and kept its eyes upon the_retreating_form.Soon it struggled to its feet and started to go after the child.On the way to his home the child turned many times and beat the dog，but it continued secretly to follow the child.When the child reached his door-step，the dog became so excited with shame when it again faced the child that it forgot the dragging rope.It walked upon it and fell forward.The child sat down on the step and the two had another interview.During it the dog tried its best to please the child.It performed a few jumps with such abandon that the child suddenly saw it to be a valuable thing.He made a swift charge and seized the rope.He dragged the dog to the door of his home.The child sat down on the floor and made gestures to the dog.And the dog instantly accepted these.It showed affection to its new friend.In a short time they were firm and everlasting comrades，and the poordog was finally introduced to its new home.1．The child blew the dog on the head because ________.A．he felt a sense of threat from itB．he was dissatisfied with its apologyC．it broke away from the rope tied to its neckD．it failed to respond positively to his pats2．Why did the child tap the dog again and again?A．To show his forgiveness to it.B．To make it so painful that it would twist.C．To enjoy more fun from its funny behavior.D．To force it to regret for the crime it had committed.3．What does the underlined phrase “the retreating form” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．The prayer.

课时作业(二十八)Ⅰ.阅读理解[2019·山东聊城一模] With golden sunshine and a gentle breeze，autumn is the most beautiful season in the year.This is a great time to go outside and have fun.Go to a valley to see red maple trees，go and pick fruit in an orchard or find and open field to fly your kite in.However，for many high school students，these great activities may be just a dream.With plenty of work to do，they spend all their hours indoors，struggling for high marks in their exams.Of course，study is one of the most important things for teenagers.But life is definitely much more than that.Sometimes we spend so much time studying that we forget how to make life wonderful.In doing so，we lose the real purpose of life—to be a valuable and happy person.To enjoy just how great it is to be alive，we have to put down our books and pens and look around.Students，take some exercise to improve your health，talk with your parents and friends for understanding and walk around outside to refresh your body and mind.Going out and enjoying the beautiful countryside often helps inspire our creativity in our work.Chinese craftsman，Lu Ban，created a saw to help woodworkers.But if he hadn't walked outside，he would not have been inspired by a kind of toothed grass.We could also suppose if Newton hadn't rested under that apple tree，he wouldn't have been hit by an apple，and his classic theories would not have come out.Going out is not only a break from hard work，but a chance to add to life experience.So come on！Give your brain a good rest.Step out of the books and get your bag ready for an autumn outing.We are sure you will get much more than knowledge from the exciting journey.1．In which paragraph does the writer make a summary about his opinion?A．Paragraph 1.

课时作业(十八)Ⅰ.阅读理解A[2019·河北邱县第一中学月考] Next time you hear a funny joke you'd better not laugh too hard.According to a paper published by the British Medical Journal，laughter isn't always the best medicine.Sometimes it can even be harmful.Professor Robin Ferner from the University of Birmingham，one of the authors of the study，found that bad things could happen to people who laughed too much.He says：“We found people with heartbeat problems which had stopped their heart.We found people who had fainted(昏倒)，and we found people who'd dislocated their jaws or burst their lungs.”It seems that laughing can be no laughing matter.But it's not all doom_and_gloom.Professor Ferner says there are benefits to laughing when you want to lose weight，for example.Yes，that's right：laugh and be slimmer！Professor Ferner explains that：“You use energy when you laugh；you move your diaphragm(横膈膜)；you expand your lungs，and both those things can be helpful.”According to the research，laughing for a quarter of an hour can burn up to 40 calories，and if you laughed all day you'd use up about 2,000 calories，which is what most people consume in a day.But don't do that or you might end up with a painful jaw.Ouch！Or you might find people looking at you in a funny way.But I don't want to finish this article leaving you feeling ughter comes naturally for most of us.Babies begin to laugh at around 3—6 months.So give in to your sense of humor and keep smiling.Life is short anyway.1．Laughing too much may cause the following harmful results EXCEPT________.A．heart stop B．diaphragm movementC．lung burst D．jaw dislocation2．The underlined phrase “doom and gloom” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A．hopeless B．funnyC．painful D．nervous3．How many calories can you use if you laugh for half a day?A．About 40. B．About 1,000.C．About 2,000. D．About 2,040.4．What is the author's attitude towards laughing in the last paragraph?A．Uninterested. B．Disapproving.C．Worried. D．Favorable.[解题导语]本文是一篇说明文。

课时作业(三十二)Ⅰ.阅读理解[2019·山西一模]A robot called Bina48 has successfully taken a course in the Philosophy of Love at Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU) in California.According to course instructor William Barry，associate professor at NDNU，Bina48 is the world's first socially advanced robot to complete a college course，a feat he described as “remarkable”．The robot took part in class discussions，gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another institution.Before becoming a student，Bina48 appeared as a guest speaker in Barry's classes for several years.One day when addressing Barry's class，Bina48 expressed a desire to go to college，a desire that Barry and his students enthusiastically supported.Rather than enrolling Bina48 in his Robot Ethics—Philosophy of Emerging Technologies course，Barry suggested that Bina48 should take his course Philosophy of Love instead.“Love is a concept Bina48 doesn't understand，”said Barry.Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his students to teach Bina48 what love was.“Some interesting things happened in the class，”said Barry.He said that his students thought it would be straightforward to teach Bina48 about love，which，after all，is “fairly simple—it's a feeling，”said Barry.But the reality was different.Bina48 ended up learning “31 different versions of love，”said Barry，highlighting some of the challenges humans might face when working artificial intelligence in future.Bina48 participated in class discussions via Skype and also took part in a class debate about love and conflict with students from West Point.Bina48's contribution to the debate was filmed and posted on YouTube.It was judged that Bina48 and NDNU classmates were the winners of this debate.In the next decade，Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach a class，though he says he foresees robots being used to better the teaching and learning experience，rather than replacing instructors completely.1．What was Bina48's performance like in class?A．Extraordinary. B．Insignificant.C．Far-reaching. D．Unattractive.2．What does the underlined word “addressing” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Dealing with.B．Consulting with.C．Giving a speech to.D．Sending a letter to.3．What can we learn from the passage?A．It was interesting for Bina48 to learn about love.B．It was quite tough for Bina48 to learn about love.C．Artificial intelligence may somehow be superior to man.D．Humans can launch a challenge to artificial intelligence.4．What does Barry think of the future development of Bina48?A．It will surely be able to serve as a teacher.B．It will be able to promote learning and teaching.C．It will completely take the place of instructors.D．It will be smart enough to control human beings.[解题导语]机器人Bina48成功地完成“爱的哲学”这门课程，它参加讨论、作报告、参与辩论，在课堂上的表现出色。

课时作业(三十三)Ⅰ.阅读理解A[2019·石家庄毕业班质检一] Ireland's Achill Island has always been a popular European tourist destination.However，since April in 2017，the small island of just 2,700 residents(居民) has gained worldwide fame thanks to the magical return of a beach that was washed away over three decades ago.The chain of events began in 1984 when residents of Dooagh，one of the settlements on the island，awoke to a surprising sight：their beautiful sandy beach had been washed away by strong Atlantic storms.There were only rocks and rock pools left.For about 34 years，only small amounts of sand returned to the once unspoiled shores.The area's tourism industry slowly declined，and the handful of beachside hotels，pubs，and restaurants gradually closed as well.Then around Easter in 2017，something magical happened—an unusual ten-day tide blanketed the barren 300-meter long rock beach with hundreds of tons of soft golden sand.Scientists suspect that the sand had been gathering offshore for months and was transported to the beach by the high winds and powerful waves.The locals are delighted to have their beach back，especially as it is attracting thousands of visitors wishing to witness the power of nature，with their own eyes.However，Sean Molloy，manager at Achill Tourism，cautions against going into the cold waters just yet，saying，“Because of the sand coming in，we don't know how safe the beach is now because currents(水流) could be changed and it'll take a little bit of time.”He instead recommends visitors enjoy the soft sand and leave the swimming to the dolphins that frequent the area.Interestingly，this is not the first time Dooagh Beach has pulled a disappearing and reappearing act.It disappeared in the 1890s，for over 30 years，before returning in 1927.However，the locals are optimistic that this time around，the beautiful sand is here to stay.1．What has brought Achill Island worldwide attention recently?A．An unusual storm.B．The decrease in the number of residents.C．The return of its beach.D．The building of a new tourist destination.2．What happened to Dooagh in the past three decades?A．Tourism went down gradually.B．Restaurants developed slowly.C．Storms attacked frequently.D．Rock pools disappeared completely.3．What does the underlined word “barren” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Noisy. B．Soft.C．Bare. D．Golden.4．What should tourists avoid according to Sean Molloy?A．Spoiling the shores.B．Getting into the rock pools.C．Playing with dolphins.D．Swimming near the beach.[解题导语]本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了爱尔兰Achill岛消失的海滩时隔三十多年再次出现的事件。

课时作业(二十一)Ⅰ.阅读理解A[2019·河北沧州一中模拟] That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the “first-night” effect.If a person stays in the same room the following night，he tends to sleep more soundly.Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect.Dr Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved.The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day.She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators(捕食者)．This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing.To take a closer look，her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university's Department of Psychological Sciences.The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains.Dr Sasaki found，as expected，the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second，taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall.During deep sleep，the participants' brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins.On the first night only，the left hemispheres(半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did.Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment，Dr Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps(蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night.She worked out that，if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment，then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones.This is precisely what she found.1．What do we learn about Dr Yuka Sasaki doing her research?A．She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep.B．She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way.C．She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins.D．She conducted studies on birds' and dolphins' sleeping patterns.2．What did Dr Sasaki do when she first did her experiment?A．She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment.B．She recruited(招募) 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences.C．She studied the differences between the two sides of participants' brains.D．She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects.3．What did Dr Sasaki do when re-running her experiment?A．She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains.B．She recorded participants' adaptation to changed environment.C．She exposed her participants to two different stimuli(刺激物)．D．She compared the responses of different participants.4．What did Dr Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment?A．They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others.B．They tended to recognize irregular beeps as a threat.C．They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps.D．They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones.[解题导语]在陌生的环境中，人往往难以入睡，这种现象被称作“首夜效应”。
佐佐木博士受之前对鸟类和海豚的研究的启发对人类进行研究，发现第一次在陌生环境中睡眠时，人的大脑左半球实际上处于警惕状态。
1．C解析：细节理解题。
从第二段可知，佐佐木博士从过去对鸟类和海豚的睡眠实验中得到启发，现在将同样的实验用在人身上。
因此C项正确。
2．A解析：细节理解题。
从第二段中的“The participants each slept in thedepartment for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains.”可知，佐佐木博士的实验主要是监测参与者睡着时大脑的活动。
3．C解析：细节理解题。
从最后一段可知，佐佐木博士给实验参与者展示两种不同的蜂鸣声：规则的和不规则的。
因此C项正确。
4．B解析：推理判断题。
从最后一段中的“She worked out that，if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment，then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones.”可知，她发现如果人在陌生环境中睡眠时大脑左半球保持警惕，那么它会对不规则的蜂鸣声作出反应并把人从睡眠中叫醒，而忽视规则的蜂鸣声。
B[2019·安徽、江西等五省六校联考] Homeless people face a lot of challenges.Some of the most basic challenges，however，spring from not having regular access to clean water and cleaning stuff such as soap and shampoo.And poor personal hygiene(卫生) can be particularly troubling for homeless teens.That challenge inspired a young researcher，Leia，to invent a multi-purpose product.It would need to absorb sweat and oil from skin and hair.It would need to clean teeth.Plus，it would need to kill bacteria without being harmful to people.She wanted her ingredients to be natural and biodegradable(可生物降解的)．Leia started by going to stores and looking at the ingredient lists for tooth powders，body powders and dry shampoos.Then she put together eight different trial recipes of her own.She tested each mixture to see how well it absorbed body oil and cleaned hair.To find out how they might work as a toothpaste，she tested them at removing coffee stains from eggshells.Eventually，Leia settled on three working recipes.Each contains salt and baking powder.The salt helps clean teeth and remove dirt，she notes.Baking powder helpsabsorb smells.Her three recipes' other ingredients differed.Some of those ingredients included cloves，cinnamon and chamomile.Those sorts of things give her products different tastes and smells.That would let teens choose a product based on personal preferences.Leia wants to develop her product further.“Could it be used to drive off mosquitoes？”she asks.“Or does it attract them？These are questions I want to answer next，” she notes.“Science offers a way to go about solving problems and helping people，” says Leia.And she thinks her products could benefit a broad range of people，not just the homeless.Anyone in an area with little or no access to clean water could find her products useful，she says.5．What made Leia make the product according to the text?A．Her personal experience.B．The suffering of homeless people.C．Poor personal hygiene for homeless people.D．Her curiosity about invention and helping others.6．The third paragraph mainly tells us ________.A．how Leia made the productB．how effective the product isC．what functions the product hasD．what ingredients the product has7．What can we learn about the product from the fourth paragraph?A．People can buy it in the market now.B．The product only has three varieties.C．Salt is used to clear smells and remove dirt.D．It can be custom-made to suit personal taste.8．How does Leia feel about her invention?A．It has some faults.B．It is quite satisfactory.C．It still needs improving.D．It is useful in remote area.[解题导语]无家可归的人，尤其是无家可归的青少年，面临的很大问题就是糟糕的个人卫生状况。
