必修五 Unit 2 课下语篇提能练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 You have just won five million yuan in a lottery (彩票) — how would you spend it? Before you know it, ten minutes has gone on daydreaming.There is a time and a place for daydreaming, but we don't have much control over that.Isn't it worrying that an estimated 30 to 50 percent of our waking time is spent daydreaming? What if your dentist is having that lottery daydream while removing your rotten tooth?‎ Some studies suggest daydreaming makes us unhappy because we are not focusing on what is around us but are instead thinking about the past or future.However, a recent study published in the journal Neuropsychologia finds that mindwandering can be of benefit to us.The researchers measured the brain patterns of more than 100 people using an MRI (核磁共振成像) scanner.This data was compared with tests on creative ability and a questionnaire on how much their minds usually wandered.Those whose minds wandered the most scored higher in creative ability tests and had more efficient brain systems measured in the MRI machine.‎ Being efficient at mindwandering means you can_zone_out and then naturally tune back in without missing any important point or step.Christine Godwin, the lead author of the latest study from the Georgia Institute of Technology, says that if you are focusing on difficult tasks, your performance will drop if your mind wanders.But when tasks are easy, people who have high cognitive ability can let their minds wander because it does not affect their performance.You may be thinking about upcoming goals or problemsolving.These are some of the positive sides to mindwandering.‎ Mindwandering can vary between being more practical or more emotional.What mindwandering seems to be best at, researchers say, is coming up with new solutions to old problems.So, it's not always a waste of time!‎ ‎1．The first paragraph serves as a(n) ________.‎ A．explanation　　　　　　 　B．introduction C．comment D．background 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，本段引出了“做白日梦”即思维漫游这个话题，故选B项。‎ ‎2．The study published in Neuropsychologia shows that ________.‎ A．daydreaming makes us unhappy B．we are focusing on the past or future C．mindwandering is related to creative ability D．the MRI scanner is helpful in measuring the brain patterns 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, a recent study ...Those whose minds wandered the most scored higher in creative ability tests”可知，《神经心理学》杂志上发表的一项研究发现，思维漫游对人们有好处，那些思维漫游最多的人在创造力测试中得分更高，故C项“思维漫游和创造力有关”符合文意。‎ ‎3．What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A．Get distracted. B．Focus on.‎ C．Be affected. D．Have control.‎ 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据画线短语后的“and then naturally tune back in without missing any important point or step(然后自然地调整回来，而不遗漏任何重要的观点或步骤)”可知，zone out意为“走神，分心”，故选A项。‎ ‎4．What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A．Mindwandering might be dangerous.‎ B．Daydreaming might bring benefits.‎ C．Mindwandering is not a waste of time.‎ D．Daydreaming is hard to be controlled.‎ 解析：选B　主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“However, a recent study published in the journal Neuropsychologica finds that mindwandering can be of benefit to us.”可知，“做白日梦”即思维漫游对人们有好处。故选B项。‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 ‎(2019·石家庄市重点中学高三摸底)On my way back home I was stopped at traffic lights by some people who asked for help.A woman — in her attempt to give __1__ to an ambulance — had driven her car over stony obstacles that separated the bike line from the street, and, as a result, had gotten her car __2__.She couldn't move the car in any __3__ without damaging it.A couple of people tried to __4__ the car back but the obstacles were too high.Seeing that they couldn't do much about it, they left.The woman in the car tried to __5__ some service, and was told that it would take about 45 minutes for someone to get there.‎ While watching the other people __6__.I realized the woman would be on her own and I imagined how __7__ that would be if I were in her shoes.After some talking, she __8__ me to sit inside her car.‎ I wasn't in a hurry, so I __9__ my family that I would be later and then tried to __10__ the woman who seemed to feel stressed about causing others __11__.But actually it wasn't too much trouble __12__ they could still pass, and also there wasn't anything she could do about it __13__.
