高中英语人教版必修三练习：Unit 4 课下能力提升(十三) 含解析
Unit 4课下能力提升(十三)阅读理解AOf all the planets, none has captured (吸引) the world's imagination like Mars.Its reddish (淡红的) color and changes in brightness over time make the planet an unforgettable sight.In Cosmos, the television science series from the 1980s, scientist Carl Sagan talked about some traditional ideas about Mars.Some of these ideas are from the English science fiction writer H．G.Wells' The War of the Worlds.Others are from the mistaken science of Percival Lowell, the American astronomer who believed intelligent beings lived on Mars.Wells described Martians as threatening.Lowell imagined them as the hopeful engineers of great works.Carl Sagan said that both ideas influenced the public deeply.Today, Mars continues to excite humans —not as the object of science fiction but of scientific study.Space scientists have collected a wealth of information from spacecrafts that have orbited (沿轨道运行), landed on and dug into the Martian surface.The Smithsonian's “Mars Day”offered a chance for people of all ages to touch Mars, or at least a piece of it.Allison and Alycia from Silver Spring, Maryland, brought their children, Grace, Sam, Ryan and Emma.They heard about Mars and its geology from experts.They could see a test version of the Viking landers that reached Mars in July of 1976.They also saw meteorites (陨星) known to have come from the red, or reddish planet.Eightyearold Sam learned that the ancient description of Mars as red is not exactly right.He said，“It's actually orangish more than red and it's also kind of brown.”Emma is six.She learned about the volcanic activity that has shaped the surface of Mars.She said，“The closest thing to Mars —the stuff —is from volcanoes mostly.”“Mars Day”offered Allison and Alycia's children a chance to learn more about a world that they are very likely to set foot on within their lifetimes.1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．Why Martians were considered threatening.B．Why Mars has captured the world's imagination.C．What people generally thought of Mars in the past.D．How H．G.Wells got the idea for his science fiction.2．It is implied in Paragraph 3 that ________．A．today's space scientists still know nothing about MarsB．today's space scientists are very interested in MarsC．science fiction films are no longer set in MarsD．space scientists haven't made any progress in knowing Mars3．What is the writer's attitude toward the idea that humans will set foot on Mars?A．He thinks it may happen in this year.B．He thinks it will always remain a dream.C．He thinks it will come true within hundreds of years.D．He thinks it may happen in the following decades.4．The Smithsonian's “Mars Day”might NOT offer people a chance to ________．A．learn about the surface of MarsB．see a test version of some Viking landersC．see meteorites known to have come from MarsD．sit in a spacecraft to experience the life of an astronautBWhen I arrived at 6 am in the hospital kitchen, Rose was already checking name tags (标签) on the trays (托盘)．“Hi, I'm Janet.”I tried to sound cheerful, although I already knew Rose's reputation for being impossible to work with. “I'm scheduled to work with you this week.”Rose, a middleaged woman, stopped what she was doing and looked closely over her reading glasses. I could tell from her expression she wasn't pleased to see a student worker.“What do you want me to do? Start the coffee？” I asked.Rose nodded and went back to checking name tags.I filled the 40cup pot with cold water and began making coffee when Rose yelled, “That's not the way to make coffee！” She stepped in and took over. Nothing I did pleased her.Back at home, I stayed alone in my room, fighting back tears. I thought, “Maybe she didn't feel well. Maybe she had some trouble.”I decided to forgive her and try to get along with her.The next morning, I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things Rose's way as much as possible.Over the next few days an amazing thing began to happen. My focus shifted from what she was doing to me, and I started seeing Rose as the person she was hurting. The icy tension began to melt away.Throughout the rest of the summer, we had numerous opportunities to work together. Each time she seemed happy to see me. As I worked with this lonely woman, I listened to her —something no one else had done. I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who neededher care and her own health problems.That summer I learned a lesson I've never forgotten. The world is full of people like Rose —annoying, demanding, unlovable —yet hurting inside. I've found that love is the best way to turn an enemy into a friend.5．What was Rose's attitude towards the author the first day they met?A．Polite.B．Curious.C．Dissatisfied. D．Unashamed.6．After getting home from work the first day, the author ________．A．was very tired B．felt quite upsetC．was pretty lonely D．felt generally unwell7．What did the author do after her first day of working with Rose?A．She hurt Rose. B．She helped Rose.C．She ignored Rose. D．She tolerated Rose.8．What can we infer from the text?A．Never judge by appearances.B．Friendship is love with understanding.C．Misfortunes test the sincerity of friends.D．Man has not a greater enemy than himself.CIt seems we can't get off the planet fast enough. Two thirds of NASA's money is spent on manned space exploration, and that number will grow with the USA's decision to send a man to Mars in 2037. We've seen all there is to see on Earth, right? Wrong. The final place is here, under the surface of the sea.Heading down into the ocean, human limits are quickly reached. At 200 metres, the water is as black as a moonless night. Most nuclear submarines (核潜艇) would implode (内爆) before they reach 1 km down. At 3 km —still less than the average depth of the ocean —there's a good chance that you'll discover a new species. The deepest-diving whales go no further. At the very bottom, about 11 km down, lies the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. Eighteen humans have walked on the Moon, but only three have seen the Deep with their own eyes.Yet things live down there. Big things. A very loud sound was once heard and scientists suggested that it was produced by an animal bigger than a blue whale, the largest creature knownon the planet.In the late 1990s, deepwater submarine was dropped in the Southern Ocean, and passing 4，000 metres, it discovered something huge passing under it. Surprised? Don't be. The ocean covers 70% of the planet's surface and we've studied less than 5% of it. We know more about the dark side of the Moon than about the bottom of the sea.One reason that we explore space is to find evidence of other life forms. The search for life outside of Earth is important, but robots can look under the dry rocks of Mars better than humans. They're absolutely important for doing ocean research too, but they can't look under the sea. The cost of exploration is rising, but the results would benefit all our lives. Understanding the oceans will help us find new sources of food, drugs and energy.Perhaps now it's time to begin a new period of sea exploration. Manned exploration of space is science fiction (科幻小说). The adventure of the deep sea is science fact.9．What do we know about the Challenger Deep?A．Blue whales live there.B．No one has ever been there.C．People are terrified by the sight of it.D．It is the deepest known location on Earth.10．What does the author think of the discovery in the Southern Ocean?A．It's surprising. B．It's no wonder.C．It's worrying. D．It's no success.11．Why do we need to explore the sea?A．Sea exploration is cheaper than ever before.B．We have explored less than 5% of the sea.C．It will help improve our future life.D．It will benefit space exploration.12．What does the author want to tell us?A．Space exploration is of little value.B．We spend too much money on space travel.C．Humans' success lies in how much they explore the sea.D．The ocean is the place where we should make our efforts.答案：语篇解读：在“火星日”，人们可以对火星有更好的了解和认识。

2021-2022学年高中英语人教版必修四习题：Unit 4课下能力提升十三 Word版含答案
Unit 4 课下力量提升(十三)阅读理解AFacial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don't smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person inc orrectly.1．What does the smile usually mean in the U．S.?A．Love. B．Politeness.C．Joy. D．Thankfulness.2．The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that a smile can ________.A．show friendliness to strangersB．be used to hide true feelingsC．be used in the wrong placesD．show personal habits3．What should we do before attempting to “read” people?A．Learn about their relations with others.B．Understand their cultural backgrounds.C．Find out about their past experience.D．Figure out what they will do next.4．What would be the best title for the test?A．Cultural DifferencesB．Smiles and RelationshipsC．Facial ExpressivenessD．Habits and EmotionsBI didn't go to Colorado to ski. I went because I was persuaded to attend a twoday class at the Bridgestone Winter Driving School there.Everyone in my family came along with me. The first morning, we sat in a small classroom and our instructor, Robert, told us what to expect. The course, he explained, was designed to make the cars slip and slide on ice and snow. “If you listen to us，” Robert assured the class, “you'll be fine.”On a snowy day when I was 4, I had a car accident. I wasn't seriously hurt that day, but over the years the shock transformed into anxiety. When it snowed, I often called another parent at the elementary school my daughter attends to ask if he or she wouldn't mind driving my daughter the halfmile to school in the morning.That first morning in Colorado, after we left the classroom and headed out to the track, my heart was racing. By the time Robert said, “Cristina, it's your turn.” I was lightheaded. I carefully did what I was instructed to do but when I turned, I pulled the wheel too hard and hit a block of ice, my car turning almost 180 degrees. When the car came to a stop, I sat rigid, trying to catch my breath. Part of me wanted to get out and never drive again. But I was sitting there safely, wasn't I? I had overcome one of my greatest fears —losing control of the car. I even felt a little excited.For the rest of the class, I continued practising, and I got better enough so that a week later, when I arrived home and there was snow on the ground, I didn't even think about calling another parentto drive my daughter to school. “I can do this，” I told myself. And I did.5．In the classroom, Robert intended to help participants to ________.A．know each otherB．build up confidenceC．learn about the courseD．put theory into practice6．The accident made the author afraid to ________.A．have kids in her car B．drive on snowy daysC．drive long distances D．be in a car by herself7．What can best describe the author's feelings after the first practice?A．Mixed. B．Puzzled.C．Thankful. D．Regretful.8．What do we know about the class?A．It's tiring. B．It's helpful.C．It's expensive. D．It's interesting.CIn his bestselling book, The Power of Positive Thinking, Norman Vincent Peale wrote he believed ordinary people could become remarkable when they started thinking they could do things, and when they believed in themselves.If you look back on history, you'll see many examples of ordinary people who have achieved unusual resu lts. Many of the bestknown people, who have left their marks in the pages of history, failed many times on their climb up the ladder. These people had something in common. They had selfconfidence as well as perseverance (坚毅) in achieving their goals. Mos t successful people have a “can do” attitude. While failure is always possible, they face failure bravely and approach life with positive attitudes.Above all, you must have a goal clearly in mind. It's like the parents asking their children what they want to be when they grow up. You, and only you, can decide where you want to go on your travel through life. But you can't sit on the top of a hill and think pleasant thoughts all day. You have to come down to the real world and set your goals. You must have a plan of action, and follow it. In other words, “plan your work and work your plan”. While things come up to delay (耽搁) you at times, you mustn't give up your goals. You must be organized and have a system in place to meet your goals.If you are fired with enthusiastic (满腔热忱的) ideas and allow them to dominate your thoughts, you will find that new horizons will open. As long as your enthusiasm lasts, so will new opportunities. Don't wait for the world to beat a path to your door —it won't. Remember, failure is just a stepping stone on your road to success, and if you exercise positive thinking, you'll reach your goal.9．All the remarkable people in history succeeded because they ________.A．served people heart and soulB．failed many times in their struggleC．left their marks in the pages of historyD．believed in themselves and kept trying10．To reach our goals, we are advised to ________.A．stay on the top of a hillB．think positive thoughts all dayC．work in an orderly and organized wayD．rely on the plan and act without delay11．What does the underlined word “dominate” in the last paragraph mean?A．Send. B．Control.C．Pass. D．Save.12．What can be the best title for the passage?A．The power of perseveranceB．Failure is the mother of successC．Positive thinking leads to successD．The importance of setting goals课下力量提升(十三)1．解析：选C 细节理解题。

Module 4 课下能力提升（十三）阅读理解AIf you have a good ear for music and have completed a formal music training program, you can become a music transcriber.The primary role of a music transcriber is to listen to the music as it is recorded or played and write it down.The first step to become a music transcriber is to complete a test of your listening skills.The ability to clearly differentiate (区分) between notes, tone and pitch is essential in this position and cannot be taught.A musical ear can be developed over time to enjoy music, but the level of detail required is a natural gift.In many countries, a hearing test is performed before any formal music training is started.Students without an ear for music might be encouraged to try different activities.The next step is to obtain formal music training.This training can start as early as age 3 or 4, as soon as the child can tell apart symbols and follow instructions.The piano is the first instrument for most people, because it is among the simplest to learn.As part of the training program, students typically learn how to read sheet music, play according to the notes and perform.Musical theory, composition classes and musical history are all part of any formal music training program and form the base of knowledge required to become a music transcriber.These classes typically are completed after 8 to 10 years of formal music study, typically when the student is in his or her teens or early adulthood.Ear training classes are a standard part of the curriculum and include exercises focused on improving listening skills.The ability to correctly identify notes when played on a variety of instruments is essential for anyone who wants to become a music transcriber, as this is the majority of his or her daily work.In order to become a music transcriber, the student must be able to quickly and accurately record music for a variety of instruments.Without this background，mistakes can be made, and the music written in a way that makes it impossible to play and recreate the same effect.语篇解读：本文主要介绍了成为一名音乐撰写员所需要的条件。

2021-2022学年高中英语外研版必修三习题：课下能力提升(十三) Word版含答案
Module 4 课下力量提升(十三)阅读理解AIn the early morning on February 28，a sandstorm with strong winds caused a train to derail in China's far west. The accident killed four people and injured about 30.The 11car train had just left a station in Turpan in Xinjiang when it was hit.“A strong sandstorm broke the window soon after the train left Turpan. Then it blew some of the cars off the rail，” a passenger said.The train had been running between the capital city of Urumqi and Aksu, in the west. Sandstorms happen a lot in that area. They are fed by the deserts of Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia. Powerful winds blow the sands toward Beijing and the eastern cities each spring.A sandstorm is a common natural disaster. It usually happens in deserts. Strong winds blow a huge amount of sand into the air. Sandstorms_are_so_strong_that_they_can_blow_you_1_to_1.5_meters_away_from_where_you_were_standing. Unlike some other disasters, sandstorms come with a warning. If you see the clouds with a dark brown color，that means there may be a sandstorm.Xinjiang is one of the areas where sandstorms happen most often, which results from a dry climate, vast desert and a strong wind. It is in northwestern China. Xinjiang has mountains on four sides. The Tianshan Mountains，which are in the middle, divide the land into two large basins (盆地)．Both basins have deserts in their centers. They are the source of sandstorms. The passes and valleys (山谷) between the mountains are the places where strong winds are likely to form.1．The underlined word “derail” most probably means “________”．A．come to an end B．crash into another trainC．come off the track D．catch fire2．By saying the underlined sentence, the author may want to ________．A．warn us not to walk in sandstormsB．give us an example of a sandstormC．advise us to think of ways to reduce sandstormsD．tell us about the damage of sandstorms3．What is the main idea of the last but one paragraph?A．How a sandstorm happens.B．What a sandstorm is.C．Where a sandstorm happens.D．What causes a sandstorm.4．According to the last paragraph, the following factors contribute to a sandstorm EXCEPT the ________．A．dry climate B．strong windC．sand source D．black cloudBI really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career (职业)．I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn't too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she'd give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn't often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me.I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification (资格证书) if I wanted to work with children. I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a parttime course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now I've got a fulltime job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan.

He's at home in frozen parts of the world where few humans ever step on. Steger is also a devoted environmentalist who was early to ring the alarm bell on global warming. He saw its effects firsthand in frequent polar expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica.Now Steger is about to lead a team of six young adventurers on a 1，400mile，60daylong dogsled trip across Ellesmere Island, in the Canadian Arctic. The sea ice in that region should still be frozen.“We want to take our audience to the front lines of global warming，” says Steger. The team will be uploading videos, stories and photos to the website global warming as they march along, allowing armchair adventurers and kids in classrooms to follow their progress day to day.“We can actually bring the audience up there，” Steger says.Steger's team will include some alreadyfamous young explorers. Sam Branson, the 22yearold son of British airline tycoon (大亨) Richard Branson, is an experienced Arctic traveler. Also on the journey will be 27yearold Norwegian Sigarid Ekran.

Even Steger doesn't know exactly what to expect. Climate ch ange has already reshaped the geography of the Arctic.“Within a decade or less, it's going to be impossible to reach the North Pole by dog team without flotation (漂移)，” says Steger.“Climate change is happening, but people can change too.

Omaha,Nebraska.A flight attendant took us to a souvenir shop,where a toy airplane looked just like the plane my sister and I were flying on.I really wanted that airplane.I had $10 and the plane cost $8.I had no idea what I needed to buy at camp,but I bought the plane anyway.When we reached the camp,I discovered that there were no showers!Instead,we bathed in a lake every night.I needed to buy special soap because the regular soap I brought had chemicals that could harm the fish.The special soap cost $4 at the campstore.However,I had only $2 left.What upset me was that I couldn’t get clean without the soap,which was soon found by my teacher,Sally.I had to tell her that I had spent most of my money on a toy airplane.She laughed and explained to me that a budget was necessary and it was a plan for spending money to help make sure you set aside enough for things you need,likesoap,before you buy fun things,like toys.Sally gave me one of her extra(额外的) bottles of special soap.When I returned home,I decided to budget.I spent several weeks writing down everything I bought,just to get an idea of how I was already spending my money.Then I made my first weekly budget.My budget wasn’t always the same each week.For some weeks,I would have more in my “Money In” account because I did some jobs around the house.Once summer vacation started,I didn’t need to buy school lunches,so I had extra money to go to the neighbourhood swimming pool.Budgeting was hard,sometimes.Whatever week it was,I always made sure that “MoneyIn”equalled“Save and Spend”.That’s called making ends meet,and it’s how you make sure that the money you have will always be enough to cover your plans to spend and save.1.Why did Sally give the writer one bottle of her special soap?A.The writer’s usual soap did harm to his skin.B.The writer needed to take showers at the camp.C.The writer turned to Sally for it to get clean.D.The writer’s money couldn’t cover the special soap.2.What did the writer learn about at

SoapD.My Lonely Flight四、七选五阅读理解Every new person added to the planet needs food,water,clothes,and so on.1.Those things require extra natural resources,including land and water.But Earth’s riches are limited.Less than 1 percent of Earth’s water can be used for drinking and washing.One out of every thirteen people around the world does not always have enough clean water.2.Too many people are using too much water,especially in the already dry areas of the southwestern United States.Food shortages(不足)are even more common.Worldwide,one out of every seven people does not get enough to eat.3.Over time,the soil loses its nutrients(营养) and the farmland becomes useless for growing food.As the world becomes more crowded(拥挤的),more land is needed to make way for growing cities.4.That’s a problem because trees help take in a gas called carbon dioxide.Humans produce carbon dioxide by burning coal and oil.Fewer trees mean more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The buildup of carbon dioxide traps heat and pollution above Earth.5,although every person uses the planet’s resources.The richest billionpeople,Americansespecially,use the most resources.They also produce the most waste.A.Forests are cleared awayB.Some people use a lot more than othersC.Water shortages have hit many parts of the worldD.Water pollution is a serious problem in some areasE.More trees should be planted to handle air
