課時跟蹤練(三) Lesson 2 & Lesson 3 Pre-reading.閱讀理解AWhen I arrived at 6 am. in the hospital kitchen, Rose was already checking name tags (標簽) on the trays (托盤)“Hi, Im Janet.” I tried to sound cheerful, although I already knew Roses reputation for being impossible to work with. “Im 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 wasnt 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, “Thats 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 didnt 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 Roses 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 needed her care and her own health problems.That summer I learned a lesson Ive never forgotten. The world is full of people like Rose annoying, demanding, unlovable yet hurting inside. Ive found that love is the best way to turn an enemy into a friend.1What was Roses attitude towards the author the first day they met?APolite.BCurious.CDissatisfied.DUnashamed.解析：選C推理判斷題。由第六段末的“Nothing I did pleased her.”可推斷， Rose 與作者認識的當天對作者很不滿意。2After getting home from work, the author _.Awas very tiredBfelt quite upsetCwas pretty lonelyDfelt generally unwell解析：選B細節(jié)理解題。由第七段中的“fighting back tears”可知，作者回家后感到很不開心。3What did the author do after her first day of working with Rose?AShe hurt Rose.BShe helped Rose.CShe ignored Rose.DShe tolerated Rose.解析：選D細節(jié)理解題。由第七段中的“I decided to forgive her and try to get along with her.”可知，與Rose 第一天合作后，作者開始包容Rose。4What can we infer from the text?ANever judge by appearances.BFriendship is love with understanding.CMisfortunes test the sincerity of friends.DMan has not a greater enemy than himself.解析：選B推理判斷題。由最后兩段尤其是文章末句“Ive found that love is the best way to turn an enemy into a friend.”可知，作者對Rose采取了包容的態(tài)度后兩人關系變得和諧，作者逐漸理解了Rose，且兩人最終成了朋友。據(jù)此可推斷，友誼就是愛和理解。BEvery time your fingers touch your cellphone, they leave behind trace amounts of chemicals. And each chemical offers clues to you and your activities. By analyzing them, scientists might be able to piece together a story about your recent life, a new study finds.A molecule (分子) is a group of atoms. It represents the smallest amount of some chemical. Your skin is covered in molecules picked up by everything youve touched. With each new thing your skin contacts, you leave behind some small share of what itd touched earlier.Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) recently analyzed such chemical leftovers on the phones of 39 volunteers. The study was led by biochemist Amina Bouslimani. To explore those residues (剩余物), the UCSD team wiped the surface of each volunteers phone with a cotton swab (藥簽). The scientists also swabbed each persons right hand. Then the researchers compared the chemicals found on each cellphone.The scientists discovered as many of the molecules as they could. They then compared these to a database of chemicals. Pieter Dorrestein, a UCSD pharmaceutical chemist, had helped set up that database a few years earlier, which contains various substances, including spices, caffeine and medicines.Traces of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of different molecules turned up on each phone. The molecules reflected what had been in the body, and what each person had handled before touching the phone. From all these molecules, Bouslimani says, “We could tell if a person is likely female, uses highend cosmetics (化妝品), dyes her hair, drinks coffee, prefers beer over wine or likes spicy food.”Police already use molecular analyses to look for traces of explosives or illegal drugs. To date, Dorrestein says, hes never heard of police using phone residues to narrow down behavioral clues to search for a suspect. But detectives might one day use such data to track down someone who left a phone behind at a crime scene.語篇解讀：本文是說明文。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，通過分析遺留在手機上的化學物質(zhì)可以了解手機使用者的生活方式。5By analyzing the residues on the phone, we can conclude its users _.ApersonalityBlifestyleCappearanceDintelligence解析：選B推理判斷題。由第一段中的“By analyzing them, scientists might be able to piece together a story about your recent life”和倒數(shù)第二段中的“We could tell if a person is likely female, uses highend cosmetics, dyes her hair, drinks coffee, prefers beer over wine or likes spicy food.”可推知，通過分析遺留在手機上的化學物質(zhì)可以了解手機使用者的生活方式。 6What was the first thing the researchers had to do for the study?AComparing different chemicals.BHiring volunteers with cellphones.CCollecting the chemicals from phones.DBuilding a database containing chemicals.解析：選D細節(jié)理解題。由第四段中的“Pieter Dorrestein, a UCSD pharmaceutical chemist, had helped set up that database a few years earlier, which contains various substances, including spices, caffeine and medicines.”可知，研究員們所做的第一項工作是建立數(shù)據(jù)庫。7Whats the authors attitude towards the application of the research finding?ADoubtful.BDisappointed.CPositive.DUninterested.解析：選C推理判斷題。由末段中的“But detectives might one day use such data to track down someone who left a phone behind at a crime scene.”可推知，作者對研究結果的實用性持認可的態(tài)度。8What should be the best title for the text?ACellphones will be used in more fieldsBMolecules are used to search for illegal drugsCYour phone may be home to various chemicalsDFingers leave telltale clues about you on your phone解析：選D標題歸納題。本文旨在說明手機上遺留的化學物質(zhì)可以透露出手機使用者的一些情況，故D項作標題最能概括文章主旨。CIf youre a college student, who could blame you for not paying attention to that mounting student loan (貸款) balance? But once you graduate, your new monthly student loan bill will be hard to ignore. After all, missing a payment isnt like turning in a term paper late; debt collectors arent nearly as forgiving as your Chemistry 201 professor. What can you do to repay your student loans sooner?If you can manage it, repay your loans on the standard 10year repayment plan. Youll pay less interest and get rid of your loans sooner. And its a good idea to throw extra money at your bill when you can to speed up the process. If youre really troubled with cash, switch to an incomedriven student loan repayment plan. The government offers four options that make your payments a percentage of your income, so youll pay less when you earn less.Next, think about where you can cut costs elsewhere in your life so you can pay your loan bills. Focus on saving money in ways that make sense for your lifestyle. That way you wont feel deprived of (被剝奪) everything you enjoy, and you can cut out expenses that you truly dont need.Car payments can be especially costly. Consider giving up a car and signing up for Zipcar, car2go or another car sharing service if its available in your city. These companies let you rent a car hourly, which can help when public transportation wont get you where you need to go.Now its on to smaller expenses and some you might not even know youre paying. Its easy to sign up for a service that automatically charges you every month, such as the gym, ClassPass, Spotify or Netflix. Cancel them if youre not using them at least a few times a week. A service such as Truebill will track your monthly payments and show you which ones youre not using so you can cancel.語篇解讀：本文是說明文。大學畢業(yè)后，很多人面臨助學貸款的壓力，該如何按時還貸呢？9What does the author aim to tell us in Paragraph 1?AMissing a payment is common for graduates.BThere are good ways to pay student loan bills.CPaying student loan bills on time is necessary.DSome students easily ignore their student loan bills.解析：選C推理判斷題。由第一段中的“But once you graduate, your new monthly student loan bill will be hard to ignore. After all, missing a payment isnt like turning in a term paper late; debt collectors arent nearly as forgiving as your Chemistry 201 professor.”可知，作者想表明的是：必須按時還助學貸款。10What is a disadvantage of following an incomedriven student loan repayment plan?AYou will be offered only one option.BYou may end up paying more interest.CYou have to finish paying within ten years.DYou still need to pay more even when you earn less.解析：選B細節(jié)理解題。由第二段內(nèi)容可知，十年還貸的方式利息會低一些，但要按照工資比例還貸，掙得少還貸也少，那么還貸時間就會持續(xù)得久，從而導致利息高一些。11What do the last three tips have in common?AThey all suggest cutting costs.BThey are all about small expenses.CThey all mean avoiding expensive services.DThey all help shorten the repaying process.解析：選A細節(jié)理解題。由文章后三段內(nèi)容可知，作者給的三個建議主要是關于如何在日常生活中減少開支來還助學貸款。.閱讀七選五While its wonderful to share a special trip and new experience with friends or family, theres an attractive case for traveling alone from time to time. Solo travel can work for anyone, and here are good reasons why you should try it.You neednt discuss with others.It can be challenging to talk over a trip and time away from work with another busy person in your life. _1_ Usually, these challenges can be overcome by simply planning far in advance.

The key is to keep an open mind while keeping safety in mind, especially in a foreign land._5_For some reason, service at hotels and restaurants seems better when youre traveling alone. People tend to admire those who travel by themselves.AEnjoy great
