課時作業(十一)Ⅰ.閱讀理解A【語篇解讀】本文是一則旅游廣告，目的是吸引更多人關注MagicalHistoryTour，讓人們在GreaterPortland地區起先探究歷史之旅。1．答案與解析：A推理推斷題。依據本文第一句話可知，這是探究歷史遺跡的旅行，而第一句話中的“GreaterPortlandthatyou'veneverseenormaybedidn'tevenknowexisted”說明這是一個鮮為人知的地方，與A項中的“exploreunfamiliarhistoricsites”吻合。2．答案與解析：B細微環節理解題。在Tickets部分提到，一般成人的票價是35美元，MHS成員的成人票價是25美元，18歲以下的青少年是5美元。題干里的“acouple(oneisMHSMember)andakid”是指一對夫婦和一個孩子，夫婦中有一個人是MHS成員，所以票價為“25＋35＋5＝65”，故選擇B項。3．答案與解析：D細微環節理解題。依據Volunteering部分其次句話中的“Volunteers...aregivenafreetickettothetour”可知，志愿者可以獲得一張免費旅游票，與D項表述吻合。由第一段中的“begreetedbyguidesateachlocation”可知B項錯誤。依據Tickets部分的“Getyourticketsonline...at489CongressStreet”可知，可以網上訂票，可以打電話訂票，也可以在博物館商店購票，但是并未提及是否能通過電子郵箱訂票。依據其次段中的“presentinganexcitingmixofbothnewsitesandfavoritesfromthepastfouryears”可知，并不是只有新景點可以選擇，還有一些老景點以供參觀。B【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。探討發覺，火蟻群體的生產力高，在挖洞窟通道過程中，只有極少部分的火蟻參與完成大部分的工作，而其他火蟻不作為。這一發覺可以應用于機器人技術。4．答案與解析：D細微環節理解題。依據第一段中的“Fireantstunnelsgotdugefficientlybyonlyasmallpercentageofthegroupdoingmostofthework.Freeloaders,theyjustsitaroundwhiletheirhard-workingcolleaguesgetthingsdone”可知，火蟻的大部分挖洞窟通道工作都是由一小部分蟻群來完成的，且挖掘效率很高；其他的火蟻卻什么都不做，故D項正確。5．答案與解析：B詞義揣測題。依據第三段第三句中的“whichwouldmaketheconstructionprocessstop”可知，這樣的狀況可能會使工作停止；結合畫線詞后的“withinsecttraffic”可知，使工作停止的狀況可能是交通堵塞，故B項正確。6．答案與解析：C細微環節理解題。依據第四段第一句“Andwhenthescientistsremovedthefivehardest-workingantsfromthetunnel,othersimmediatelyjumpedintocompensate(補償)—withnoreductioninthegroup'sproductivity.”可知，當科學家們把五只工作最勤奮的螞蟻移開時，其他螞蟻就會立即來補上，組織的生產力沒有削減，故C項正確。7．答案與解析：A細微環節理解題。依據尾段的內容尤其是第一句“Thestudycouldprovidesuggestionsfortherobotics.”可知，這一探討成果可以應用于機器人技術，故A項正確。Ⅱ.完形填空【語篇解讀】本文講了Jane和同伴志愿撿垃圾的活動，告知我們要酷愛環境1．答案與解析：B當她的“想法”在準備生活和晚餐安排間搖擺不定時，可知選B。thought“想法”。2．答案與解析：D意外地被妹妹緊急的電話聲“打斷”了，可知選D。blame“責怪”；frighten“驚嚇”；move“移動”；interrupt“打斷”。3．答案與解析：A簡“發覺”自己和8位生疏人坐在一輛公交車上，可知選A。find“發覺”。4．答案與解析：B撿拾垃圾并且“提升”人
