.閱讀理解
(2024·棗莊高三模擬)
The works of Shakespeare and Wordsworth are “rocket-boosters” to the brain and better than the other self-help books，researchers will say this week.
Scientists，psychologists and the English experts at Liverpool University have found that reading the works of Shakespeare and other classical writers has a beneficial effect on the mind，catches the reader’s attention and triggers moments of self-reflection.Using scanners，they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read the works by William Shakespeare，William Wordsworth，T.S Eliot and other classical writers.
They then “translated” the texts into more “straightforward”，modern language and again monitored the readers’ brains as they read the words.Scans showed that the more “challenging” articles and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the modern versions.Scientists were able to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and record how it “lit up” as the readers came across unusual words，surprising phrases or difficult sentence structures.This “lighting up” of the mind lasts longer than the initial electrical spark，shifting the brain to a higher speed，encouraging further reading.
The research also found that reading poetry，in particular，increases the activities in the right side of the brain，an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”，helping readers to reflect on their own experiences in light of what they have read.The experts said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books.
Philip Davis，an English professor who has worked on the study with the university，will
tell a conference
this
week：“Serious
literature
acts
like
a rocket-booster (火箭助推器) to the brain.”
“The research shows the power of classical literature to shift mental pathways，to create new thoughts，shapes and connections in the young and the old alike.”
1．The author mentioned Shakespeare and Wordsworth in Paragraph One to________.
A．show their great achievements
B．attract our interest in literature
C．introduce the topic of the text
D．encourage us to read their works
2．According to the text，reading classical works can________.
A．help deal with some physical problems
B．benefit our mind and thinking
C．improve our reading skills
D．help learn more about history
3．The scientists and experts did the experiment by________.
A．scanning the readers’ brain activities
B．reading works of different writers
C．lighting up the activities of the brains
D．investigating the habits of the readers
4．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that reading poetry________.
A．is concerned with the right side of the brain
B．has the same effects as reading self-help books
C．helps you forget the things in the past
D．makes you more serious and objective
5．What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To introduce some great writers in England.
B．To present a study on brain activities.
C．To introduce a research on reading classics.
D．To show the power of classical literature.

課時作業(三十九)
Ⅰ.單項填空
1．解析： 考查虛擬語氣。句意為：——John，不要按那個按鈕。——如果我按了，那會怎么樣？if后其實是省略句，表示對現在的虛擬，應用一般過去時，故選A。
答案： A
2．解析： 考查介詞短語辨析。句意為：孩子們在成績方面的差異不可能完全從他們的社會背景角度來解釋。A項意為“據，按照，在……方面”；B項意為“支持，贊成”；C項意為“為紀念，為慶祝，向……表示敬意”；D項意為“負責，主管”。由此結合空后的“social backgrounds”和語境可知，in terms of與題意相符。
答案： A
3．解析： 考查非謂語動詞。句意為：剛在成都定居時，Maria發現自己很不適應這里的辛辣食物。分析句子結構可知，此處應填非謂語動詞，settle與其邏輯主語Maria之間構成主動關系，而且動作已經發生，故選A，現在分詞作時間狀語。
答案： A
4．解析： 考查反意疑問句。若陳述部分是一個主從復合句，附加問句一般要與主句保持一致，根據本題中的“I told Mom”可知B項正確。
答案： B
5．解析： 考查非謂語動詞。句意為：——你能給我介紹一款高性能的機器嗎？——我很樂意。因為這款車即使在潮濕的道路上也能運行很好，所以很受歡迎。handle和this kind of car是邏輯上的動賓關系，故用handle的過去分詞形式，選A。
答案： A
6．解析： 考查形容詞作狀語。句意為：這個男人喝醉了，睡了。當他醒來的時候，他發現他的鞋子沒脫。drunk喝醉的，形容詞作狀語表狀態。
答案： D
7．解析： 考查動詞詞義。句意為：盡管他將文件仔細地看了一遍又一遍，但是遺憾地發現他仍忽略了一個重要細節。此句強調無意中忽視，故選overlook。
答案： B
8．解析： 考查動詞辨析。句意為：據科學家說，我們的思考能力在 22 歲達到頂峰后，從 27 歲開始下降。所以用decline。differ表示“與……不同”，shrink表示“收縮”，fail表示“失敗”，均與語境不符。
答案： D
9．解析： 考查省略和動詞時態。句意為：我不明白你為什么不按照我告訴你的去做，你已經是第三次這樣了。在時間、條件、方式、讓步等狀語從句中，如果從句的主語和主句的主語一致，且謂語動詞是系動詞be時，那么就可以把從句中的主語和系動詞be一起省略。因此，第一空中，as引導的方式狀語從句的完整形式為：as (you are) told to (do)；第二空中，在“It is the＋序數詞＋time＋that從句(that可省略)”句式中，that從句的謂語動詞要用現在完成時。
答案： B
10．解析： 考查動詞詞義。句意為：當他開口說話時，他濃重的口音立刻顯示出他來自中國的南部地區。 betray顯露出(本來面目)，背叛，符合題意。believe相信；express表達；press壓，擠。
答案： D
11．解析： be superior to意為“比……優越；超過……”。
答案： C
12．解析： 句意為：——他盡力結識那位著名教授，并說服他當他的導師。——祝他成功。make the acquaintance of sb.結識；與……相見，是固定短語。make a decision about就……做出決定；function作用，功能，職能；make friends with與……交朋友。
答案： C
13．解析： 考查非謂語動詞。主語he與動詞drive之間構成邏輯上的動賓關系，故用過去分詞Driven作原因狀語。
答案： C
14．解析： 考查名詞辨析。句意為：雙方都決意得到他們想要的東西，似乎沒有妥協的可能。competence能力，勝任，本領；composition成分，作品；competition競爭；compromise妥協，折中。
答案： D
15．解析： 考查情景交際。答語語意是：為什么不呢？如果我是你，我肯定會接受的。根據答語第二句可知，對方認為提問者應該接受邀請，所以B項符合語境。
答案： B
Ⅱ.完形填空
語篇解讀 本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了一個黑人大學生的大學生活。
1．解析： 考查名詞辨析。句意為：我的許多新老師都不太友好，除了我的歷史老師Dorothy Bean。根據本句中的“but not Dorothy Bean，my history teacher”可知，此處是指他的新老師。
答案： B
2．解析： 考查副詞辨析。句意為：Bean女士對我遭受如此惡劣的對待很是生氣，但是她沒有向我提及這些。根據第一段第二句中的“Many of my new________weren’t very welcoming”和文化背景可知，在一個全是白人的大學里上學，一個黑人學生會受到惡劣的待遇，因此答案C符合文意。
答案： C
3．解析： 考查介詞辨析。句意為：Bean女士通過耐心地教我表示對我的尊重，不像(unlike)其他老師那樣。與第一段第二句Bean女士和其他老師對待我的態度的不同形成呼應，故答案D符合文意。
