课时作业
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
(2024·江苏南通高三调研测试一)Ramirez Castaneda, a Colombian biologist, spends her time in the Amazon studying how snakes eat poisonous frogs without getting ill. Although her findings come in many shapes and sizes, she and her colleagues have struggled to get their biological discoveries out to the wider scientific community. With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn’t always possible because of budget or time—and it means that some of her findings were never published.
“It’s not that I’m a bad scientist,” she says.“It’s just because of the language.”
Castaneda is not alone. There are plenty of researches in non-English-language papers that get lost in translation, or are never translated.A research looked through more than 400,000 peer-reviewed papers in 16 different languages and found 1,234 studies providing evidence on biodiversity conservation which, because they weren’t in English, may have been overlooked. These included Japanese-language findings on the effectiveness of relocating the endangered Blakiston’s fish owl, the largest owl species.
Some experts argue that for the sake of the bigger picture, scientific knowledge should converge (趋同) into one common language. Science is very globalized and becoming more so, so the use of a global language is enormous for that.
Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator—but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence. The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castaneda does with indigenous (本地的) communities in the Amazon.
“So we’re losing observations for science, too,” says Castaneda. “For me, it’s not possible to just have everything translated into English.We need multilingual (用多种语言的) science, and we need people that feel comfortable doing science in their own languages. It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇议论文。文章以哥伦比亚生物学家Ramirez遭遇的语言问题为例,揭示了目前有很多非英文论文无法被翻译。对此,一些专家主张科学知识应当转换为一个共同的语言——英语。但作者对此并不认同,认为这会导致国际影响力的不平等,并且有些专业术语很难用英语翻译。因此,作者希望建立一个多语种的科学世界。

解析:推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Of course,scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator—but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence.”可推知,科学研究中以英语为主导的结果是会加强对北半球(一些国家)的依赖循环,导致国际影响力的不平等,因此这会在科学界产生知识鸿沟。故选B项。

3.What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning forest snakes and frogs ( )
A.The urgency to protect rare species.
B.The need to adopt one global language.

解析:段落大意题。根据最后一段中的“It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century.”可知,本段主要介绍Castaneda希望建立一个多语种的科学世界来解决语言障碍问题。由此可知,本段在介绍一个潜在的解决方案。故选A项。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四种走近经典作品的方法。
(2024·福建福州高三质量检测一)A majority of people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. 1( ) You begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes. So how does one approach a classic
A.It is a gradual process.
B.Allow the book to grow with you.
C.It has some forms of historical influence.
D.Before you turn to page one, do some digging.
E.Never beat yourself up about not knowing something.
F.Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.
G.Consider what confuses you,read with intention,and think critically.
1.答案:A
解析:根据上文“Love for classics is obviously not at first sight.”及下文“You begin as acquaintances and eventually become close friends with private jokes.”可知,设空处应承接上文提及的对经典作品的喜爱不是一见钟情,引出下文的逐渐与经典作品成为朋友。A项(这是一个循序渐进的过程)符合语境。故选A项。
Don’t be afraid to be confused.
As is known to all, it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. 2( ) Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.
A.It is a gradual process.
B.Allow the book to grow with you.
C.It has some forms of historical influence.
D.Before you turn to page one, do some digging.
E.Never beat yourself up about not knowing something.
F.Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.
G.Consider what confuses you,read with intention,and think critically.
2.答案:E
解析:根据下文“Instead, be proud of yourself for trying,and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.”中的instead可知,设空处与下文形成语义上的转折,结合选项可知,E项(永远不要因为不知道某些事物而过分自责)符合语境。故选E项。
Research, research, research.
3( ) Researching the authors—and the time and places they were writing about—can help you situate yourself in tricky passages.The author’s experience, viewpoint,and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.
A.It is a gradual process.
B.Allow the book to grow with you.
C.It has some forms of historical influence.
D.Before you turn to page one, do some digging.
E.Never beat yourself up about not knowing something.
F.Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.
G.Consider what confuses you,read with intention,and think critically.
3.答案:D
解析:根据小标题“Research, research, research.”可知,本段主要建议要做研究,D项中的digging为其同义词,因此D项(在你翻到第一页之前,做一些调查)符合语境。故选D项。
Just pick the book up.
This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, you know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. 4( ) Take a deep breath, and then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula.
A.It is a gradual process.
B.Allow the book to grow with you.
C.It has some forms of historical influence.
D.Before you turn to page one, do some digging.
E.Never beat yourself up about not knowing something.
F.Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.
G.Consider what confuses you,read with intention,and think critically.
4.答案:F
解析:根据上文“you know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so”可知,开始读书前需要做好思想准备工作。故F项(提醒自己这是一个新的学习机会)能够衔接上文,符合语境。故选F项。
Remember:There is no right answer.
There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation and no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. 5( ) Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable!
A.It is a gradual process.
B.Allow the book to grow with you.
C.It has some forms of historical influence.
D.Before you turn to page one, do some digging.
E.Never beat yourself up about not knowing something.
F.Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.
G.Consider what confuses you,read with intention,and think critically.
5.答案:G
解析:根据上文“Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you.”和下文“Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable!”可知,此处在阐述阅读时要有自己的解读。因此G项(思考让你困惑的地方,有目的地阅读,批判性思考)承接上文,引出下文,符合语境。故选G项。
Ⅲ.语法填空(每小题1.5分,共15分)
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国的服装从古代到现代的发展过程,同时中国传统服装被国际品牌所青睐。
China is known as Xia for its grand etiquette (礼仪) culture,and known as Hua for its beautiful attire (衣裳).With the 1____________ (change) in society,economic development,and cultural development,clothing has evolved over thousands of years.
However,while the forms may have been changed,the essence (本质) 2 (remain) constant.
1.答案:change(s)
解析:考查名词。定冠词the后面用名词形式,故change在本句中作名词,表示“改变,变化”,此时change既可作可数名词,也可作不可数名词,故填change(s)。with the change(s) in...“随着在……方面的改变”。
2.答案:remains
解析:考查动词的时态和主谓一致。本文主要是以现在时叙述,主语the essence是单数,谓语动词要用第三人称单数,故填remains。句意:然而,虽然形式可能已经改变,但本质仍旧保持不变。
In ancient China,emperors like Huangdi,Yao,and Shun brought peace to the world through their clothing.Clothing holds 3________significant place in Chinese culture.It is used not only for daily wear 4 (cover) the body and protect it from cold but also as an instrument of management.In ancient Chinese society,there were strict rules and dress codes about clothing.The presence of clothing distinguished civilization 5________barbarism (野蛮),while changes in color and style 6 (gradual) developed into a form of etiquette.Their design conveyed behavioral norms and 7 (they) patterns were rich in cultural significance.Moreover,ancient attire was also an important carrier of morality.China has always been known as a nation 8_________values formal attire and etiquette.
3.答案:a
解析:考查冠词。此处是说“服装在中国文化中占有一个重要地位”。place在此表示“地位”,以单数形式出现,表示泛指,应用不定冠词,significant的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。a significant place表示“一个重要的地位”。
4.答案:to cover
解析:考查非谓语动词。此处用不定式结构作目的状语,表示服装的用途,故填to cover。句意:它不仅用于日常穿着来覆盖身体并保护其免受寒冷,而且还用作管理工具。
5.答案:from
解析:考查介词。distinguish与from连用,表示“把……和……区别开来”,为固定用法。句意:服装的存在区分了文明与野蛮。
6.答案:gradually
解析:考查词性转换。修饰动词developed用副词形式,gradually“逐渐地”。
7.答案:their
解析:考查代词。修饰名词patterns用形容词性物主代词,故填their。句意:它们的设计传达了行为规范,它们的式样具有丰富的文化意义。
8.答案:that/which
解析:考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,在从句中作主语,先行词为nation,故用that或which。
What is the Chinese style It is something that makes people think of China as soon as they see it.For example,the horse-face skirt,which 9 (favor) by international brands and Chinese people for many years,will continue to be attractive.Chinese clothing,as a classical style,has been known to the world overnight with good opportunities.It’s not just a traditional costume style but also a source of 10 (admire).
9.答案:has been favored
解析:考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。空前的which引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面的skirt,句子缺少谓语动词,且主语和谓语动词之间为被动关系;根据“for many years”可知,应用现在完成时;主语为单数。由此可知本空填has been favored。句意:比如,被国际品牌和中国人青睐多年的马面裙,将继续具有吸引力。
10.答案:admiration
解析:考查词性转换。介词of后面用名词作宾语,故填admiration“欣赏,赞赏”。句意:这不仅是一种传统的服装风格,而且是赞赏的一个缘由。
