课时作业26
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
After
a
salon
(美容院)
turns
away
a
physically
challenged
woman,
a
stranger
makes
a
truly
beautiful
gesture.
“Beauty
isn't
about
having
a
pretty
face.
It's
about
having
a
pretty
mind,
a
pretty
heart,
and
a
pretty
soul,
oh,
and
pretty
nails！”
That
may
well
be
Angela
Peters's
motto.
Last
July,
Peters,
36,
rolled
her
wheelchair
into
a
nail
salon
at
the
Walmart
shopping
centre
in
Burton,
Michigan,
with
the
idea
of
painting
her
nails.
But
Peters
was
turned
away.
The
salon
told
her
that
they
were
afraid
it
would
be
too
difficult
to
properly
paint
her
nails
given
that
her
hands
shook.
What
was
meant
to
be
a
day
of
happiness
for
Peters
was
a
disappointment.
Ebony
Harris,
40,
saw
everything
and
approached
Peters.
Harris
offered
to
do
her
nails.
They
shopped
for
nail
polish.
They
settled
on
a
bright
blue—a
statement
color
that
would
catch
every
eye.
They
then
made
their
way
into
a
neighboring
subway,
found
a
table
for
two,
and
set
up
shop.
Harris
gently
took
Peters's
hand
on
hers
and
carefully
began
painting
her
nails.
Watching
it
all
with
awe
and
in
admiration
was
a
subway
employee
Tasia
Smith.
What
struck
her
most
was
the
ease
and
gentleness
displayed
by
Harris
as
she
painted
Peters's
nails,
all
the
while
chatting
as
if
they
were
old
friends.
Peters,
who
runs
a
poetry
website,
harbors
(心怀)
no
bitterness
toward
the
nail
salon
that
turned
her
away.
(The
salon
said
they
refused
to
offer
Peters
service
because
they
were
too
busy.)
“When
people
do
us
wrong
we
must
forgive，”
Peters
wrote
on
her
website.
“I
just
want
to
educate
people
that
people
with
different
challenges,
like
being
in
a
wheelchair,
can
have
our
own
business
and
get
our
nails
done
like
anyone
else.”
本文是一篇记叙文。在美容院拒绝了一位残疾女士美甲的要求之后，一个陌生人主动帮这位残疾女士做美甲。通过故事，作者想告诉我们，身患残疾的人一样可以有自己的事业，享受和正常人一样的待遇。不是外表美才叫美，有美丽的心灵和灵魂才是真正的美。
1．Why
did
Peters
go
to
the
Walmart
shopping
centre?
A．To
go
shopping.
B．To
eat
at
a
subway.
C．To
meet
her
friend
Harris.
D．To
have
her
nails
painted.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Last
July,
Peters,
36,
rolled
her
wheelchair
into
a
nail
salon
at
the
Walmart
shopping
centre
in
Burton,
Michigan,
with
the
idea
of
painting
her
nails”可知，Peters去沃尔玛购物中心的美甲店，想给指甲涂颜色。故D项正确。
2．What's
the
reason
for
Peters's
disappointment?
A．That
she
was
disabled.
B．That
she
was
turned
away.
C．That
the
salon
was
busy.
D．That
she
had
no
nail
polish.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But
Peters
was
turned
away.
The
salon
told
her
that
they
were
afraid
it
would
be
too
difficult
to
properly
paint
her
nails
given
that
her
hands
shook...a
disappointment”可知，美容院告诉她因为她的手抖动，他们恐怕很难给她涂指甲。也就是说，她被拒绝了，这让她很失望。故B项正确。
3．How
do
you
find
Ebony
Harris?
A．Mean.
B．Optimistic.
C．Caring.
D．Stubborn.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段和第四段的内容可知，看到Peters遭到拒绝后，Ebony
Harris带她去买指甲油并帮她涂指甲，并且像老朋友一样跟她聊天。由此可推知，Ebony
Harris很会关心他人。C项“关心他人的”，符合语境。A项意为“吝啬的”；B项意为“乐观的”；D项意为“固执的”。
4．What
does
Peters
intend
to
tell
us
by
writing
on
her
website?
A．It's
better
to
use
websites
to
educate
people.
B．The
salon
has
its
reasonable
reason
to
refuse
her.
C．Those
who
did
something
wrong
should
not
be
forgiven.
D．People
with
different
challenges
should
be
treated
equally.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中Peters在网站上写的话“When
people
do
us
wrong
we
must
forgive”“I
just
want
to
educate
people
that
people
with
different
challenges,
like
being
in
a
wheelchair,
can
have
our
own
business
and
get
our
nails
done
like
anyone
else”可知，Peters意在说明有不同残疾的人应该受到公平对待。故D项正确。
B
When
we
look
at
a
lovely
baby,
a
puppy
or
a
really
cute
kitten,
many
of
us
want
to
squeeze
it.
Why
is
that?
According
to
a
study
published
in
the
journal
Frontiers
in
Behavioral
Neuroscience,
it's
a
typical
experience
of
“cute
aggression”.
The
experience
results
from
the
fight
between
the
brain's
“emotion
system”，
which
impels
(驱使)
people
to
squeeze
cute
things,
and
its
“reward
system”
which
deals
with
feelings
of
“wanting”．
In
the
study,
54
participants
between
the
ages
of
18
and
40
were
presented
with
four
groups
of
photos.
Two
of
the
groups
of
photos
were
of
cute
human
babies
and
animals
and
the
other
two
were
of
less
adorable
adult
humans
and
animals.
As
the
participants
looked
at
the
photos,
the
researchers
watched
their
brain
activities.
According
to
the
researchers,
the
participants'
reward
systems
were
found
to
be
active
as
they
looked
at
the
cute
babies,
and
they
seemed
to
be
overwhelmed
(征服).
By
contrast,
the
reward
systems
of
the
people
looking
at
the
less
cute
adults
were
found
to
be
inactive,
and
they
seemed
to
be
less
impelled
by
their
reward
systems.
This
suggests
that
cute
things
activate
their
emotion
systems
in
such
a
way
that
people
are
overwhelmed
by
the
experience
of
cuteness.
But
reward
systems
work
against
these
emotions
by
creating
the
desire
to
protect
cute
things.
As
Katherine
Stavropoulos,
the
lead
researcher
of
this
study
at
the
University
of
California
in
the
US
told
Science
Alert,
“The
cute
aggression
is
the
brain's
way
of
‘bringing
us
back
down’
by
balancing
our
feelings
of
being
overwhelmed.”
Stavropoulos
compared
this
process
of
balancing
to
an
evolutionary
adaptation.
Such
an
adaptation
may
have
taken
place
to
ensure
that
people
are
able
to
continue
taking
care
of
creatures
they
consider
particularly
cute.
So,
although
cute
babies
and
adorable
animals
may
look
completely
helpless,
their
vulnerable
(易受伤害的)
appearance
may
in
fact
help
them
to
survive.
本文是一篇说明文。为什么你看到萌物就想捏？研究告诉你，这是大脑调节情绪的一种自然反应，叫作：cute
aggression
(萌系侵略性)。
5．According
to
the
text,
“cute
aggression”
refers
to
________.
A．the
emotion
of
wanting
to
protect
cute
things
B．the
task
of
the
emotion
system
and
the
reward
system
C．the
adaptation
of
consistently
taking
care
of
cute
creatures
D．the
behavior
of
squeezing
a
cute
baby
or
animal
when
seeing
it
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“want
to
squeeze
it”和第二段中的“According
to
a
study
published
in
the
journal
Frontiers
in
Behavioral
Neuroscience,
it's
a
typical
experience
of
‘cute
aggression’”可知，cute
aggression
(萌系侵略性)是指看到萌物就想要去捏一下的行为，故选D项。
6．In
nature,
“cute
aggression”
is
caused
by
________.
A．the
need
of
the
brain
to
balance
all
feelings
B．the
photos
of
cute
human
babies
and
animals
C．the
vulnerable
appearance
of
babies
or
animals
D．the
conflict
between
the
emotion
system
and
the
reward
system
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The
experience
results
from
the
fight
between
the
brain's
‘emotion
system’．..its
‘reward
system’．..feelings
of
‘wanting’”可知，萌系侵略性源于大脑的“情感系统”和“奖赏系统”之间的斗争，故选D项。
7．Which
of
the
following
statements
about
the
study
is
TRUE?
A．Facial
expressions
of
the
participants
were
observed.
B．Katherine
Stavropoulos
conducted
this
study
on
her
own.
C．Cute
babies
and
animals
affected
brain
activities
of
all
the
participants.
D．The
participants
were
divided
into
two
groups
in
order
to
make
a
comparison.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“the
participants'
reward
systems
were
found
to
be
active...they
seemed
to
be
overwhelmed
(征服)”和第五段中的“cute
things
activate
their
emotion
systems...of
cuteness”可以推断，当人们看到萌物时，他们大脑的奖赏系统和情感系统就活跃起来，故选C项。
8．What
is
the
author's
purpose
in
writing
this
text?
A．To
persuade
readers
to
protect
cute
animals.
B．To
stress
the
significance
of
cute
aggression.
C．To
present
research
findings
on
cute
aggression.
D．To
share
an
interesting
phenomenon
with
readers.
答案：C
解析：写作意图题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一种心理现象——cute
aggression，这是研究者在一项研究中发现的，故选C项。
Ⅱ.七选五
Running
is
a
great
way
to
get
into
shape
and
just
about
everyone
can
do
it.
Given
that
it's
so
easy
to
take
up
the

actually
knowing
what
it
takes
to
establish
a
healthy
routine.
__1__.
If

of
running
success.
Doing
too
much
too
soon
One
of
the
biggest
mistakes
beginners
make
is
doing
too
much
too
soon.
Picking
up
a
new
hobby
like
running
is
no
doubt
exciting.
Runners
need
to
ease
into
the
sport
before
increasing
the
distance.
__2__.
__3__
Beginners
might
think
they
need
to
run
nearly
every
day
to
meet
their
fitness
or
weight?loss
goals,
but
this
couldn't
be
further
from
the
truth.
__4__，especially
for
beginners
whose
muscles
and
bones
haven't
yet
been
conditioned
for
such
intense
(剧烈的)
exercise.
So
it's
important
to
give
your
body
ample
rest
between
workouts.
Follow
a
training
plan
that
includes
rest
days.
Comparing
yourself
to
others
__5__.
You're
excited
about
running,
so
you
are
probably
reading
running
blogs,
magazines
and
message
boards
where
you
might
start
to
feel
inadequate
about
your
own
running
pace.
Instead
of
looking
down
on
yourself,
remember
that
every
runner
was
once
a
beginner
and
use
their
success
as
motivation!
A．Not
running
every
day
B．Not
taking
rest
days
C．Running
is
a
demanding
activity
which
can
be
really
hard
on
your
body
D．As
mentioned,
a
healthy
routine
is
what
they
attach
importance
to
E．When
starting
out
with
running,
it's
tough
not
to
compare
yourself
to
others
F．Many
make
a
number
of
common
mistakes,
which
can
interfere
(干扰)
with
training
or
lead
to
injury
G．It
will
help
reduce
the
risk
of
injury,
so
you
can
continue
with
your
new
running
routine
该文主要介绍了跑步需要避免的几个误区，包括刚开始就猛烈运动、从不间断、与其他人比较。
1．F 解析：本空承上启下。承接上文很多初跑者在不知道如何建立健康的模式的情况下就开始跑步，因此很多人会犯一些常见的错误，与下文如何避免错误衔接，故选F项。
2．G 解析：承接前一句“Runners
need
to
ease
into
the
sport
before
increasing
the
distance”可推知，此空应是进一步解释这样做的益处，故选G项。
3．B 解析：根据本段最后两句可推知，本段主要讲述了跑步的一个误区，即没有休息日，故选B项。
4．C 解析：根据空后一句，特别是对于那些肌肉和骨骼还没有适应这项运动的初跑者，可推知此处是说跑步是很有难度的，故C项“跑步是一项要求很高的运动，对你的身体来说真的很难”符合语境。故选C项。
5．E 解析：承接本段的标题Comparing
yourself
to
others可知，此空进一步阐释了一种普遍现象，即初跑者很难不和其他人进行比较，故选E项。

(小品)”可知，《纽约客》还出版文学作品，但主要是短篇故事和诗歌，以及幽默小品等，据此可知，小说最没有可能在《纽约客》出版，故选D。
B
The
Japanese
have
always
been
at
the
forefront
of
deploying
(利用)
robots
to
perform
jobs
that
are
traditionally
done
by
humans.
Over
the
past
year,
humanoid
robots
have
been
seen
helping
customers
at
the
Mitsubishi
Bank
and
even
filling
in
for
human
science
communicators
at
museums.
Therefore,
it
is
not
surprising
to
hear
that
the
country
has
the
world's
first
hotel
that
is
staffed
almost
entirely
by
the
Androids!
The
aptly
(恰当地)
named
Henn?na
(“strange”
in
Japanese)
Hotel
which
opened
its
doors
on
July
17
is
located
in
the
Nagasaki's
Huis
Ten
Bosch
theme
park.
It
is
the
idea
of
Hideo
Sawada,
a
Japanese
businessman
who
is
fascinated
by
the
possibility
of
replacing
humans
with
robots.
His
aim
is
to
have
this
futuristic
hotel
be
run
mainly
by
the
intelligent
humanoids.
Guests
checking
in
are
welcomed
by
a
family
friendly
English?speaking
robot
wearing
a
bow
tie
and
bellhop
hat.
Though
experienced
in
his
job,
he
does
request
guests
not
to
ask
him
“a
difficult
question”
since
he
is,
after
all,
“just
a
robot”！
Those
seeking
a
more
“regular”
experience
can
approach
the
human?like
Japanese?speaking
robot.
When
ready,
visitors
can
request
the
robot
“porters”
to
help
carry
belongings
to
their
room.
Those
that
need
to
stow_away
valuables
can
hand
them
to
a
helpful
robot
who
will
place
them
inside
an
individual
safe
box
in
exchange
for
a
small
fee.
A
one?foot?high
concierge
(服务台职员)
is
available
to
provide
information
about
the
hotel's
amenities
(便利设施),
nearby
attractions,
and
even
order
a
taxi
if
needed.
So
how
much
does
it
cost
to
live
in
this
crazily
cool
hotel?
It
depends
on
when
you
decide
to
go.
During
the
low
season,
guests
can
get
away
with
paying
as
little
as
$60
a
night
for
a
basic
room.
However,
during
the
peak
season
when
rates
are
determined
by
an
online
auction,
the
price
can
get
as
high
as
$153.
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了世界上第一家几乎完全由机器人服务的酒店。
4．What
is
Hideo
Sawada
interested
in?
A．Making
different
kinds
of
robots.
B．Taking
the
place
of
humans
with
robots.
C．Setting
up
more
hotels
run
by
robots.
D．Making
robots
more
intelligent.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It
is
the
idea
of
Hideo
Sawada,
a
Japanese
businessman
who
is
fascinated
by
the
possibility
of
replacing
humans
with
robots”可知，Hideo
Sawada对用机器人代替人类很感兴趣。故选B项。
5．From
the
third
paragraph
we
can
know
that
________.
A．the
Japanese?speaking
robot
welcomes
the
guests
B．the
human?like
robot
can
speak
Japanese
and
English
C．the
human?like
robot
is
better
skilled
at
his
job
than
the
other
robots
D．the
English?speaking
robot
can
answer
simple
questions
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“a
family
friendly
English?speaking
robot...Though
experienced
in
his
job,
he
does
request
guests
not
to
ask
him
‘a
difficult
question’”可知，尽管说英语的机器人工作经验丰富，但他不能回答难的问题。故选D项。
6．The
underlined
phrase
“stow
away”
most
probably
means
“________”．
A．purchase
B．change
C．store
D．replace
答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据下文的“robot
who
will
place
them
inside
an
individual
safe
box”可知，机器人会把贵重物品放在个人的保险柜中。画线词意为“妥善放置”，故选C项。
7．What
could
be
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A．World's
first
robot?staffed
hotel
is
open
for
business
B．Japan
tops
the
first
in
making
robots
C．Robots
can
replace
humans
in
Japanese
hotels
D．The
aptly
named
Henn?na
Hotel
in
a
theme
park
答案：A
解析：标题判断题。文章的第一段是中心段，讲述了日本有世界上第一家几乎全部职员都是机器人的酒店。故A项最能概括短文的大意。
