Unit 4 Meeting the muse Review 单元达标检测原题版I.阅读理解AThomas Hardy, probably the most searching and knowledgeable novelist of his time, was born on June 2,1840, in Dorsetshire, England. He died on January 11,1928. In his youth, Hardy read much and dreamt of becoming a poet, but he studied and practiced architecture as an assistant to a London architect, winning a prize for design. The fine descriptions of structure in his novels were probably somewhat due to his architectural training.For five years Hardy worked hard to practice writing poetry, but when he was twentyseven, he turned to fiction. His first novel finished by 1867, but according to the advice of George Meredith he decided not to publish it. After he abandoned his first novel, his another novel Desperate Remedies, appeared in 1871. During the next twentyfive years he published ten more novels and two collections of short stories.Under the Greenwood Tree (1872) was never surpassed (超越) in happy and delicate perfection of art. This and his next novel, A Pair of Blue Eyes (1873), began to show deep irony (讽刺) which is so obvious throughout Hardy’s writings.Far from the Madding Crowd (1874) was his first popular success. It shows Hardy’s amazing power of describing nature as symbolic background for his characters, an organic part of the action of his story. This was the earliest of what he called his novels of character and environment, which included The Return of the Native, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, his masterpiece, and Jude the Obscure. Not until he was fiftyeight years old was his first collection of poems published, and he was sixtyfour when the first part of his drama The Dynasts surprised the literary world.1．How did Thomas Hardy benefit from his architectural career?A．He could practice writing while working.B．He made a lot of money to support his writing.C．He found material for his novels and poems.D．He applied architectural knowledge in his novels.2．What is Thomas Hardy’s Under the Greenwood Tree considered to be?A．One of his masterworks.B．His first popular success.C．His best novel in perfection of art.D．One of his best collections of poems.3．Which of the following is one of his novels of character and environment?A．Desperate RemediesB．A Pair of Blue EyesC．Tess of the d’UrbervillesD．The DynastsBRobert Frost(1874－1963) was the statesman of American letters in the twentieth century, a rare national poet who was read and respected by both university professors and everyday citizens. In his life, Frost won four Pulitzer Prizes for his works—more than any other poet in American history. His most famous poems include The Road Not Taken, Fire and Ice and Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. Though he is widely read, Frost is also one of the most misunderstood writers in the United States for the complexity of his poems.Though born in California, Frost was brought up in New England, where he is inseparably linked. After dropping out of Dartmouth College to seek his literary dream, he remained upset for years, producing collections of works but failing to get enough of them published to make his efforts financially worthwhile. Finally, Frost left the United States in 1912 to see whether his work might be better received in London. It was, and in 1913 his first full collection was published in Great Britain. Fellow American poet Amy Lowell adored Frost’s work and brought it back to the United States, publicizing it insistently. Soon afterwards Frost’s collections became bestsellers, and he became a famous figure.From then on, Frost was on his way to the lifelong respect and recognition for his achievements in poetry. In 1961, he was invited to read a poem for the presidential inauguration(总统就职典礼) of John F．Kennedy. He recited his poem, The Gift Outright, from memory at the ceremony. This was perhaps his last poetry reading in front of a wide national audience before his death in 1963.More importantly, Frost became the first poet to read a poem at a presidential inauguration.4．What makes Frost “the statesman of American letters”？A．The comments of other writers.B．His literary achievements.C．The complexity of his poems.D．His political activities.5．What do we know about Frost before 1912?A．He continued writing after his graduation from Dartmouth College.B．He was well received in London for his first collection.C．He failed to make much money with his publication.D．He produced enough works to achieve literary success.6．According to the passage, what brought Frost immediate success in the US?A．The literary value of his poetry.B．The publication of his first collection.C．The invitation from John F．Kennedy.D．The recommendation by Amy Lowell.7．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．The Literary Life of Robert Frost：An OverviewB．Robert Frost and the Twentieth CenturyC．Robert Frost：A Historical FigureD．The Popularity of Robert FrostCJ．K. Rowling frequently shows there is magic every day.Her Harry Potter series has helped people through times of stress and depression and she is always there to deliver wise words of encouragement.She is one celebrity who is very active on Twitter. So when a single dad named Matt Burke sent her a message thanking her for the series, she noticed. Her series had helped strengthen his relationship with his 9yearold daughter Bailey.He included a link to his article titled Being a Broke Parent. He explained how he hadn’t found a level of financial stability that allowed him to pay bills on time and take his daughter on more activities and events. The family also doesn’t have the Internet or TV, which means there’s no “digital babysitter” and he has to rely on his own creative ways to bond with his daughter. Since he received the series, the main thing that has occupied them these days is reading books together.Burke admits that he thought he was “too cool” for the books when they first came out and he was in his twenties, but he’s loving reading them now. “We switch off chapter by chapter reading them out loud，” Burke explains. “This not only allows her to get more used to reading aloud in front of someone, but it gets me directly involved in something she loves, and it gives me the chance to be very dramatic when I read my chapters and bring myself into the characters in the book, which has proven to be a ton of fun.”After hearing Burke’s story, Rowling said how honored she was when Harry Potter was a partof his family’s life and offered Burke more books. Besides, people are also offering to send Burke more books as gifts. For Burke, this experience, far more than gifts, will be what he treasures. 8．Why did Burke thank J．K.Rowling according to the text?A．She guided him how to write a good story.B．She encouraged him when he was in trouble.C．Her books helped him through times of confusion.D．Her books helped him improve his bond with his daughter.9．What is implied in Burke’s words in Paragraph 4?A．He has found it interesting to read the series.B．He was too old to understand the series better.C．He has chosen a better way of reading the series.D．He hopes to play a role in the drama in the future.10．Which word can best describe Burke’s experience according to the text?A．Unique.B．Normal.C．Precious. D．Funny.11．What is the main idea of this text?A．J.K.Rowling chooses to help improve kids’ health.B．J.K.Rowling gives a magical gift to a single father.C．J.K.Rowling has a deep influence on others’ growth.D．Burke comes to know J．K.Rowling through her series.DAs evolution tends to remove waste, how come we evolved such large, energyconsuming brains? The dominant hypothesis (假设) suggests that tough social interactions are the driving force. But our new study done in an unusual way shows that human brain expansion is likely driven by ecology．Scientists have tested the ecological and social hypotheses before. The common approach is to look at many species and investigate whether large brains are associated with specific problems. For example, do primates or other animals with large brains have a diet that is challenging to find but nutritionally rewarding? This would indicate an ecological origin. Or do they live in large groups where they face lots of social problems?While many studies have found such associations, there is a problem. It cannot tell whetherlarge brains evolved to solve the difficult problems or whether they evolved for other reasons and then enabled their bearers to deal with the hard problems.To find out the causes of brain expansion, we recreated the scenarios (可能出现的情况) of the two hypotheses using a mathematical model. We found that a combination of ecological and social challenges do produce the brain size we see in humans. But it was ecological challenges that expanded brains. In contrast to the dominant view and our own expectation, we found that social challenges contributed by decreasing brain size. But you need both factors to get the brain size we see today—if there were no social challenges our brains would have been even larger but likely poorly suited to social life. Bigger isn’t necessarily better.But many animals face hard ecological problems. Why don’t they all have large brains? We found that ecological problems only lead to humansized brains when individuals can keep learning hard skills as they grow. So our results and those of others’ suggest that hard ecology and the accumulation of cultural knowledge could act together to produce a humansized brain.Will the human brain expand further? The complexity of the systems involved makes it impossible to say much with certainty at present.12．In most people’s view, what makes human evolve large brains?A．Social challenges.B．Social and ecological challenges.C．Ecological challenges.D．Competition with other large animals.13．What’s the problem of the common approach?A．Its model is not reliable enough.B．It doesn’t tell the cause and effect clearly.C．Its hypothesis cannot be proved effectively.D．It doesn’t find brain size is connected with problems.14．Why don’t many animals have large brains?A．They don’t learn from each other.B．They don’t face hard ecological problems.C．They don’t need to cooperate with each other.D．They don’t keep learning tough skills as they grow.15．Which of the following do the researchers find most surprising?A．Animals don’t have large brains.B．Social challenges decrease brain size.C．Ecological challenges increase brain size.D．It’s unclear whether human brains will expand further.II. 阅读七选五Thanks to the worldfamous Colombian writer Garcia Marquez, many people think of Latin America as a land of magic. In his books, impossible things happen.1.________It may come from the mix of different cultures and ethnicities (种族) in Latin America.
