拓展培优练
阅读理解
I’ve been writing now for 34 years. It all started when I was just 18 years old.
As a boy growing up, I probably read hundreds of books. I read mysteries, science fiction,
thrillers, and just about any other type of book I could find. I had a thirst for knowledge that never
seemed to disappear, no matter how many books I read over the years.
Then suddenly, I found that I too had ideas of my own that I wanted to write and share. I
wanted to share things that were full of goodness, love, joy, and happiness. I tried to ignore my
desire at first, but as any writer will tell you, once ideas awaken inside of you, they don’t
leave you alone until you write them down. I didn’t have a computer, or even a typewriter, but I
grabbed a pen and a notebook and wrote down everything that was burning inside of me.
When I was finally done, I didn’t know how to share my work with the world. There was no
internet back then, no smartphones, and no social media. However, I sought out the editor of my
local newspaper and asked if he would like to print what I’d written. He was a good man, full of
both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I
was willing to write.
After that, of course, nothing could stop me. I continued to write new articles each week,
which were published in different local papers and later on the internet. Years later, I even
self-published two collections of my stories in book form.
Through my writing, I slowly became a better person. Writing allowed me to discover the
goodness and light that exist in us all. I also found that we are all writers, whether we put pen to
paper or not.
With every choice we make, with every thought we think, and with every action we take, we
are writing our own life story.
1. Why did the author start writing
A. He wanted to try writing thrillers.
B. He wanted to express his own ideas.
C. He thought it would be easy after reading so much.
D. He wanted to inspire others with his reading experience.
2. What can we know about the author’s writing career
A. It was busy and lonely. B. It was lucky but short.
C. He pushed through difficulties. D. He got tired of writing every week.
3. After publishing his works, the author ______.
A. felt writing had improved him
B. encouraged others to put pen to paper
C. used social media to spread his influence
D. often thought about the choices he made
4. Which of the following best describes the author
A. Humorous. B. Hardworking.
C. Hard to satisfy. D. Determined to be famous.
【词汇积累】

What color is a tennis ball Ask your classmates, and they might give you some surprising
answers.
US magazine The Atlantic recently asked 30,000 people this question. Among them, 1
percent said tennis balls are green, 42 percent said they are yellow, and 6 percent went with other
colors. According to the International Tennis Federation, tennis balls are yellow. 1. ____________
When we first see an object in natural light, our brains recognize its true color. Even if the
object is seen in different kinds of light later, our brain can still tell its true color. Scientists call
this color constancy (色彩恒常性). 2. ____________ When we see it during sunset or under
purple light, we still know that it is red, even if it looks like a different color. 3. _____________ It
appears to be a combination of yellow, a “warm” color and green, a “cool” color.
According to The Atlantic, when our brains try to figure out what color the ball is, some
people ignore “cool” colors, such as green, blue and purple. So they see the ball as being yellow.
4. ____________ They see the ball as being green.
5. ____________ In 2015, a girl posted a picture of a dress online. Some people believed the
dress was black and blue – but others thought it was gold and white. They had different opinions
based on whether they ignored “cold” or “warm” colors.
A. It is not just tennis balls that have such a confusing color.
B. But others ignore “warm” colors, such as red, yellow and orange.
C. However, the color of a tennis ball is not as pure as the flag.
D. It is difficult for some people to distinguish yellow from green.
E. So why did so many people say that they’re green
F. Certain parts of our brain are in charge of recognizing colors.
G. For example, we know that China’s flag is red.
【答案】EGCBA
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了人们对颜色的认知，尽管有些物品具有颜色恒常
性，但是对于组合颜色来说，有人选择忽略暖色，有人选择忽略冷色，所以即使是同一个物
品的颜色，比如，网球，不同的人会给出不同的答案。
1. E 。根据上文“Among them, 1 percent said tennis balls are green, 42 percent said they are
yellow, and 6 percent went with other colors. According to the International Tennis Federation,
tennis balls are yellow.”（其中，1%的人认为网球是绿色的，42%的人认为是黄色的，6%的
人认为是其他颜色的。）下文提出问题，并引出后面的研究内容，故 E 项正确。
2. G 。根据下文“When we see it during sunset or under purple light, we still know that it is red,
even if it looks like a different color.”（当我们在日落时或在紫光下看到它时，我们仍然知道
它是红色的，即使它看起来像是不同的颜色。）上文一定描述了一个红色的物品，只有 G
选项符合。
3. C 。根据下文“It appears to be a combination of yellow, a “warm” color and green, a “cool”
color.”（它似乎是黄色(一种“温暖”的颜色)和绿色(一种“冷”的颜色)的组合。）以及上文提
及中国国旗是纯净的红色，此处应该是转折关系，故 C 项正确.
4. B 。这一段介绍了研究成果，有些人会忽略“冷”色，如绿色、蓝色和紫色。所以他们认
为球是黄色的。下文应该为“但其他人忽略了“暖色”，如红色、黄色和橙色。”They see the
ball as being green.故 B 项正确。
5. A 。段首归纳主旨大意，根据下文描述 In 2015, a girl posted a picture of a dress online. Some
people believed the dress was black and blue – but others thought it was gold and white. They had
different opinions based on whether they ignored “cold” or “warm” colors.（2015 年，一个女孩
在网上发布了一张裙子的照片。一些人认为这条裙子是黑色和蓝色的，但其他人认为是金色
和白色的。基于他们是忽略“冷”色还是“暖色”，他们有不同的观点。）故 A 项正确。

I’ve been writing now for 34 years. It all started when I was just 18 years old.
As a boy growing up, I probably read hundreds of books. I read mysteries, science fiction,
thrillers, and just about any other type of book I could find. I had a thirst for knowledge that never
seemed to disappear, no matter how many books I read over the years.
Then suddenly, I found that I too had ideas of my own that I wanted to write and share. I
wanted to share things that were full of goodness, love, joy, and happiness. I tried to ignore my
desire at first, but as any writer will tell you, once ideas awaken inside of you, they don’t leave
you alone until you write them down. I didn’t have a computer, or even a typewriter, but I grabbed
a pen and a notebook and wrote down everything that was burning inside of me.
When I was finally done, I didn’t know how to share my work with the world. There was no
internet back then, no smartphones, and no social media. However, I sought out the editor of my
local newspaper and asked if he would like to print what I’d written. He was a good man, full of
both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I
was willing to write.
After that, of course, nothing could stop me. I continued to write new articles each week,
which were published in different local papers and later on the internet. Years later, I even
self-published two collections of my stories in book form.
Through my writing, I slowly became a better person. Writing allowed me to discover the
goodness and light that exist in us all. I also found that we are all writers, whether we put pen to
paper or not.
With every choice we make, with every thought we think, and with every action we take, we
are writing our own life story.

What color is a tennis ball Ask your classmates, and they might give you some surprising
answers.
US magazine The Atlantic recently asked 30,000 people this question. Among them, 1
percent said tennis balls are green, 42 percent said they are yellow, and 6 percent went with other
colors. According to the International Tennis Federation, tennis balls are yellow. 1. ____________
When we first see an object in natural light, our brains recognize its true color. Even if the
object is seen in different kinds of light later, our brain can still tell its true color. Scientists call
this color constancy (色彩恒常性). 2. ____________ When we see it during sunset or under
purple light, we still know that it is red, even if it looks like a different color.
3. _____________ It appears to be a combination of yellow, a “warm” color and green, a
“cool” color.
According to The Atlantic, when our brains try to figure out what color the ball is, some
people ignore “cool” colors, such as green, blue and purple. So they see the ball as being yellow.
4. ____________ They see the ball as being green.
5. ____________ In 2015, a girl posted a picture of a dress online. Some people believed the
dress was black and blue – but others thought it was gold and white. They had different opinions
based on whether they ignored “cold” or “warm” colors.
A. It is not just tennis balls that have such a confusing color.
B. But others ignore “warm” colors, such as red, yellow and orange.
C. However, the color of a tennis ball is not as pure as the flag.
D. It is difficult for some people to distinguish yellow from green.
E. So why did so many people say that they’re green
F. Certain parts of our brain are in charge of recognizing colors.
