選擇性必修第一冊UNIT1閱讀題組——練速度Ⅰ.【語篇導讀】本文是一篇應用文。文章介紹了四位杰出的女性。1.C解析微小環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)其次段中的“Beforetheinvention,clothingusedtobeironedonwoodenplanksbalancedbetweenchairs.Thoughitseemslikeasimpleinvention,Booneputalotofthoughtsintoit,whichwasevidentintheendproduct.Asidefromsolvingtheinitialproblemofunevenironing,Boonealsomadetheironingboard’slegsfoldedforstorageanddesignedacurvedshapeforthebodytoaccommodatesleevesandcurvedareas.”可知,SarahBoone獨創(chuàng)的燙衣板是一件有用的家具。故選C項。2.B解析微小環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第三段中的“Acocoonfellintoherteacupandlostitscohesivenessuponcontactwiththehotwater.ThefactthatthecocoonwasasinglestrandofsilkhaddrawnLeiZu’sattentionandshewovethethreadintofabric,creatingsilkcloth.”可知,嫘祖在花園喝茶時,一只繭掉進了她的杯子里。這個意外讓她發(fā)覺了蠶絲。故選B項。3.D解析微小環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)最終一段中的“DrFionaWoodintroducedspray-onskinrepairtechniquetotheworldinthe1990s.”可知,FionaWood首創(chuàng)了用噴霧治療皮膚燒傷的技術(shù),為醫(yī)療事業(yè)做出了貢獻。故選D項?！菊Z篇導讀】本文是一篇記敘文?！皵?shù)獨之父”MakiKaji因癌癥去世,文章介紹了他的部分生平以及數(shù)獨嬉戲的影響力。4.C解析微小環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第三段中的“Ridiculously,itwasn’tuntil2004thatSudokubecameaglobalhit”并結(jié)合本段內(nèi)容可知,作者感到不行思議的是,數(shù)獨先是在日本以外的全球范圍內(nèi)火了起來,后來才在日本國內(nèi)被發(fā)掘。5.D解析微小環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第四段第一句“Kajitravelledtomorethan30countriesspreadinghisenjoymentofpuzzles.”可知,在推廣數(shù)獨的過程中,Kaji是親力親為的,與D項“他致力于數(shù)獨的推廣”相符。6.D解析推理推斷題。依據(jù)第四段其次、三句“Sudokuchampionshipshavedrawnsome200millionpeoplein100countriesovertheyears.SudokuwasalsonevertrademarkedexceptwithinJapan,drivingitsoverseascraze.”可知,數(shù)獨堪稱風靡全世界,與D項表達含義一樣。7.B解析段落大意題。最終一段主要講解并描述了Kaji對數(shù)獨嬉戲的影響力,故B項正確?！菊Z篇導讀】本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹了是動畫先驅(qū)貝西·梅·凱利的職業(yè)生涯及其作品以及她對動畫界的影響。8.A解析詞義揣測題。依據(jù)其次段中的“...KelleywasstudyingartatNewYork’sPrattInstitute,when,asapartofthefirstgenerationofcinema,shefellinlovewiththemedium.”可知,凱利當時正在紐約普瑞特學院學習藝術(shù),還沒有正式開設她的職業(yè)生涯。依據(jù)畫線詞后的“butsheworkedherwayup”可知,她之前做的工作是卑微的,非技術(shù)性的。由此揣測,畫線詞意為“非技術(shù)性的”。unskilled“缺乏技能的”;demanding“要求高的”;well-paid“收入豐厚的”;risk-taking“冒險的”。故選A項。9.C解析推理推斷題。依據(jù)第三段“Kelleyhand-drewcartoonsincooperationwithPaulTerryforhisfamedanimatedadaptationofAesop’sFables,includingthemousecouplethatcametobeknownasMiltonandMary.‘EvenWaltDisneypubliclystatedthatwhenhebeganhisstudioinKansasCity,hewantedtomakecartoonsasgoodasAesop’sFables,’Johnsonsaid.”可知,作者提及凱利的《伊索寓言》是想展示她早期對動畫的影響。故選C項。10.A解析微小環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第四段中的“Previously,historianshadc
