课时作业 八 　模块2　Unit 1 Tales of the unexplained 2‎ 建议时间 / 35分钟 ‎　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 词数: 318　主题:地画 　文体:说明文 The Nazca Lines are a series of large ancient geoglyphs (地画) in the Nazca Desert, in southern Peru. They are ranging from geometric patterns to drawings of different animals and stylized human-like forms. The ancient lines can only be truly taken in from high in the air, leaving generations puzzled as to how these precise works could have been completed long before the documented invention of human flight.‎ The Lines were first spotted when commercial airlines began flying across the Peruvian desert in the 1920s. Who built them and what was their purpose? Are they roads, star pointers, maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan? These markings are like a vast puzzle. ‎ The Nazca Lines are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs in the world. There are also huge geoglyphs in Egypt, Malta, the United States (Mississippi and California), Chile, Bolivia and in other countries. But the Nazca geoglyphs, because of their numbers, characteristics, dimensions and cultural continuity as they were made and remade throughout a certain history period, form the most impressive archeological(考古学的) group. ‎ The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the combination of the climate (one of the driest on Earth, with only twenty minutes of rainfall per year) and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level. With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode(腐蚀) it, lines drawn here tend to stay drawn. These factors, combined with the existence of lighter-coloured subsoil beneath the desert surface, provide a vast writing pad that is suited to the artist who wants to leave his mark eternal.‎ ‎1. What can we know about the Nazca Lines from the first two paragraphs?‎ A.They were built as a big map.‎ B.They were formed by nature.‎ C.They are ancient lines in caves.‎ D.They are huge markings in a desert.‎ ‎2. How many factors make the Nazca Lines the most impressive?‎ A.One. B.Two. ‎ C.Three. D.Four.‎ ‎3. Why are the Nazca Lines well preserved?‎ A.Because of the wind at ground level.‎ B.Because of the existence of soft soil.‎ C.Because of the climate and geography.‎ D.Because of the thick sand on the top.‎ ‎4. What does the underlined word “eternal” probably mean?‎ A.Non-stop. B.Everlasting. ‎ C.Real-life. D.High-end. ‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 The running of the bulls is a nine-day traditional Spanish festival in honour of Saint Fermin in Pamplona. Every year, at midday on July 6th, the Mayor of Pamplona shoots a rocket. 　5　 The participants are usually dressed in white and wear red neckerchiefs and belts. They open champagne(香槟酒) mostly used for sprinkling(撒) other people. ‎ ‎　6　 It starts every day at eight in the morning and the runners run, sometimes wildly, sometimes less. They shoot the first rocket as a sign that the run has begun. Then they shoot the second one when the bulls are out in the streets. Six bulls which are trying to attack the participants from behind run down the 900-metre-long street with a lot of spectators. 　7　 All of the six bulls are going to be killed at the bullfight in the stadium. ‎ The bullfight in the stadium begins at half past six in the afternoon. First, there comes the first bull. There is also a person called “picador”. 　8　 That makes the bull very wild and it starts to run all over the stadium. Later when the bull is tired, there comes another person—a “matador” who kills it with an arrow. 　9　 At the end of the celebration, another rocket is shot as a sign that the bullfight is finished. ‎ A.It makes the bull very nervous.‎ B.It is one of the greatest events in the city.‎ C.The main event is the running of the bulls.‎ D.He waves a red cloth in front of the bull.‎ E.This is a sign that the celebration has started.‎ F.The participants can get injured or even killed.‎ G.The same thing happens to the other five bulls. ‎ Ⅲ.完形填空 词数:335　主题:感恩　文体:记叙文 ‎“God, give us thankful hearts for these and for all our many blessings.” That was the 　10　 my father, an East Texas farmer, said over every meal. ‎ Pa passed away long ago, but I try to 　11　his example every day. The year we spent Thanksgiving at our home on Lake Tawakoni was such a 　12　. I was preparing a dinner party for the day. I opened the oven, put in our huge 　13　and tried to turn on the old oven. It took just a few minutes for me to 　14　that the heating had failed. I only had a few hours 　15　family members and special friends were going to arrive with side dishes, so I called my neighbour Lois and explained my problem. ‎ Lois just 　16　and said, “Honey, you bring that turkey to my house. We'll have it cooked in no time.” ‎ With a sigh of 　17　, I put the roasting pan into the car and 　18　 across the road. Lois babysat the big bird while I returned to the lake house and 　19　a festive table. While the turkey was cooked in her oven, I gave special 　20　for kind neighbours. Our family arrived. We 　21　 before our meal, stood in a 　22　and prayed. Some people mentioned things for which they were 　23　thankful and others stood in 　24　 silence. The tissue box made its way around the circle as some of us began to 　25　 —a sign of joy rather than sorrow. ‎ When the last of the food was 　26　off the table, I took a deep breath. A Thanksgiving prayer is easy for me when things are going well, but sometimes it 　27　 extra courage to give thanks when I am sad or when something unforeseen 　28　my plans—even a broken oven. ‎ Then I stopped to 　29　Pa and the many times I heard him say, “God, give us thankful hearts for these and for all our many blessings.” I want that to be my prayer, too. ‎ ‎10.A.complaint B.wish C.prayer D.dream ‎11.A.follow B.copy C.set D.contain ‎12.A.dinner B.party C.process D.time ‎13.A.meal B.turkey C.roast D.beef ‎14.A.realize B.predict C.admit D.assume ‎15.A.until B.before C.since D.after ‎16.A.laughed B.yelled C.screamed D.nodded ‎17.A.belief B.surprise C.relief D.doubt ‎18.A.walked B.moved C.toured D.drove ‎19.A.painted B.bought C.prepared D.borrowed ‎20.A.tasks B.dishes C.prizes D.thanks ‎21.A.paused B.discussed C.hesitated D.quarrelled ‎22.A.line B.circle C.row D.room ‎23.A.hardly B.seriously C.particularly D.casually ‎24.A.joyful B.careful C.respectful D.sorrowful ‎25.A.cry B.smile C.cheer D.sing ‎26.A.knocked B.dropped C.kicked D.swept ‎27.A.needs B.takes C.wants D.loses ‎28.A.monitors B.ruins C.adjusts to D.keeps to ‎29.A.call on B.turn to C.bring back D.reflect on Ⅳ.短文改错 I was often troubled by lack of confidences.

At that time,I was responsible for interview parents who bought the learning tools. While talking with him, I found it was not so hard as I think. One lady even praised me but asked her son to learn from me. I realized the experience was in great value and that nothing was more excited than communicating with people.‎ From this experience, I am fully aware that we should take real action if our personality that needs improving.‎ 课时作业(八)‎ Ⅰ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了出现在秘鲁南部纳斯卡荒原的大型古代地画纳斯卡线条(Nazca Lines)的神奇之处及形成原因。‎ ‎1.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Nazca Lines are a series of large ancient geoglyphs(地画) in the Nazca Desert, in southern Peru.”及对纳斯卡线条图案及其发现过程的具体介绍可知,纳斯卡线条是出现在秘鲁南部纳斯卡荒原的大型古代地画。故选D项。‎ ‎2.D　细节理解题。根据第三段“But the Nazca geoglyphs, because of their numbers, characteristics, dimensions and cultural continuity as they were made and remade throughout a certain history period, form the most impressive archeological(考古学的) group.”可知,四个因素使纳斯卡线条最令人难忘。故选D项。‎ ‎3.C　细节理解题。根据最后一段“The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the combination of the climate…and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level.”可知,因为这里干燥少雨的气候和平坦多石的地形使地画能很好地被保留下来。故选C项。 ‎ ‎4.B　词义猜测题。最后一句指有这些因素,加上沙漠表面下浅色土壤的存在,给那些想要留下永久印记的艺术家提供了一个巨大的书写板。eternal和everlasting同义,意为“永恒的”。‎ Ⅱ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了西班牙传统节日——奔牛节(圣费尔明节)。‎ ‎5.E　由上文可知,在每年七月六日中午,潘普洛纳(Pamplona)市的市长会发射一枚礼花。选项E中的“this”指代上文的这件事情,这是节日庆祝的开始,符合语境。故选E。‎ ‎6.C　下文讲述了公牛奔跑活动的过程,它在节日期间每天早上八点开始,跑步者跑步时快时慢,他们发射第一枚礼花标志着奔跑的开始,然后,当公牛出现在大街上时,他们发射第二枚礼花,公牛们努力追逐并攻击参加者。因此推断C项“主要的活动是公牛奔跑活动”符合语境。故选C。‎ ‎7.F　由上文“Six bulls which are trying to attack the participants from behind run down the 900-metre-long ‎ street with a lot of spectators.”可知,六头公牛努力从后面攻击参与者,在900米长的满是观众的街道上奔跑。因此推断F项“这些参与者可能会受伤或者被杀死”符合语境,故选F。‎ ‎8.D　由语境“There is also a person called ‘picador’.”可知,还有一个被称为“骑马斗牛士”的人,再结合下文语境“这激发了公牛的野性,使它们在运动场中横冲直撞”可以推断出D项“他在公牛面前挥舞一块红布”符合语境。故选D。‎ ‎9.G　由上文“Six bulls which are trying to attack the participants from behind run down the 900-metre-long street with a lot of spectators.”可知,街上有六头公牛。再根据“Later when the bull is tired, there comes another person—a ‘matador’ who kills it with an arrow.”可知最终六头公牛都会被杀死,因此推断G项“同样的事情也会发生在其他五头公牛身上”符合语境。故选G。‎ Ⅲ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述准备感恩节宴会时请邻居帮忙的故事回忆起父亲餐前的祈祷。‎ ‎10.C　根据文章最后一段中“…‘God, give us…’ I want that to be my prayer, too.”可知,“我”希望这也是“我”的祈祷,故此处指这是爸爸饭前的祈祷。故选C。‎ ‎11.A　根据语境及文章末句“I want that to be my prayer, too.”可知,“我”希望这也是“我”的祈祷,作者以父亲为榜样。故选A。‎ ‎12.D　根据上下文可知,“我们”在塔瓦科尼湖的家中度过感恩节的那一年就是这样一个时候。故选D。‎ ‎13.B　根据下文“…‘Honey, you bring that turkey to my house.’”可知,放入烤箱的是火鸡。 故选B。 ‎ ‎14.A　根据下文“…so I called my neighbour Lois and explained my problem.”可知,作者意识到烤箱坏了。故选A。 ‎ ‎15.B　根据上下文语境可知,在亲朋好友到来之前“我”只有几个小时了。故选B。‎ ‎16.A　根据上文“…so I called my neighbour Lois and explained my problem.”可推知,此处指邻居笑了。故选A。‎ ‎17.C　根据上文邻居答应帮忙可知,“我”松了一口气。 with a sigh of relief 松了一口气。故选C。‎ ‎18.D　根据上文“…I put the roasting pan into the car…”可知,“我”是驾车穿过马路的。故选D。 ‎ ‎19.C　根据上文“我”正在准备感恩节宴会可知,“我”回家后继续准备宴会。故选C。 ‎ ‎20.D　根据上文内容可知,“我”对邻居的帮忙表示特别的谢意。故选D。‎ ‎21.A　根据语境“We…before our meal, stood in a…and prayed.”可知,此处指饭前停下来做祷告。故选A。‎ ‎22.B　根据下文“The tissue box made its way around the circle…” 可知,“我们”饭前站立祈祷,人们围着桌子站了一圈。故选B。 ‎ ‎23.C　根据句意可知有些人提到了他们特别感激的事情,此处修饰“感激的”用particularly最符合题意。故选C。‎ ‎24.C　根据上文可知有些人提到了他们特别感激的事情,其他人应是恭敬地站立在一旁(听着)。joyful高兴的; careful仔细的;respectful恭敬的;sorrowful伤心的。故选C。‎ ‎25.A　根据语境“The tissue box made its way around the circle…”可知,纸巾盒绕着人们站成的圆圈传来传去,因为“我们”当中有一些人开始哭泣。故选A。 ‎ ‎26.D　根据语境可知,最后的(剩下的)饭菜被清扫掉。故选D。 ‎ ‎27.B　根据语境可知,当事情进展顺利的时候,感恩祈祷对“我”来说很容易,但当“我”难过的时候,“我”需要额外的勇气来表示感谢。固定句型:It takes sth to do。故选B。 ‎ ‎28.B　根据语境“…even a broken oven.”可知,不能预见的事情打乱了“我”的计划。 monitor监视;ruin破坏,打乱; adjust to调整; keep to坚持。故选B。 ‎ ‎29.D　根据下文“我”爸爸的话可知,“我”回忆起爸爸。call on号召,要求;turn to转到;bring back带回;reflect on回忆。故选D。‎ Ⅳ.I was often troubled by lack of confidences‎ ‎confidence.
