课时跟踪练4 Unit 4 Earthquakes Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Recently whenever I turned on my computer or my mobile phone, news about the great effect of Hurricane Harvey on thousands of people caught my eye.I saw many unfortunate events.However, there were also the bright news that confirmed the goodness of mankind.As a journalist, I wrote many humaninterest stories during my career.That's why the story about the guys in the bakery caught my eye.‎ When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn't sit there feeling sorry for themselves.They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey.While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community.‎ The flood water rose in the street outside.They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread.They used more than 4，200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread.Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people.By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that they took the loaves to loads of emergency centres across the city for people affected by the floods.‎ The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent，“Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel forlorn．Instead, we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others.Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.”‎ ‎1．What did the bakery store workers do after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey?‎ A．They volunteered to make bread for their community.‎ B．They managed to live by selling more bread in the store.‎ C．They felt sorry that they couldn't escape from the store.‎ D．They ate nothing but to wait for their community to rescue them.‎ ‎2．Which of the following best explains “forlorn” underlined in the last paragraph?‎ A．Fortunate.　　　　 B．Hopeful.‎ C．Shallow. D．Desperate.‎ ‎3．What can we infer from the text?‎ - 7 -‎ A．Alvarado organized his workers to bake much bread.‎ B．Hurricane Harvey caused a power failure in Houston.‎ C．The staff in the bakery sent enough flour to emergency centres.‎ D．The author preferred to write stories about people facing disasters.‎ ‎4．What can be the best title for the text?‎ A．A Popular Mexican Bakery Chain in Houston B．Wait for the Eventual Rescue in a Big Disaster C．All Kinds of Disasters Caused by Hurricane Harvey in Houston D．Bake Bread to Make a Difference in the Face of Hurricane Harvey ‎【语篇解读】　本文主要讲述了一家连锁面包店的员工们在面对飓风“哈维”带来的洪水、断电时，在等待救援的同时采取积极的行动，利用应急电源烤面包去帮助社区受洪水影响的居民。‎ ‎1．解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段的最后一句“While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning，four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community.”可知，当这家面包房的员工们在等待周一上午的最终救援时，四人决定为他们的社区制作尽可能多的面包。故选A项。‎ 答案：A ‎2．解析：词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Instead，we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others.”可知，相反，我们应该采取积极的行动来拯救自己和帮助他人。由Instead可知，forlorn的语义与positive的意思相反，故forlorn与desperate(绝望的)意思相近。故选D项。‎ 答案：D ‎3．解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread.”可知，他们利用应急电源烤面包。由此可推知，飓风“哈维”造成休斯敦停电。故选B项。‎ 答案：B ‎4．解析：主旨大意题。根据文章第二、三段的内容和最后一段中的“Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.”可知，D项(在面对飓风“哈维”时，烤面包起了很大作用)作为标题最能概括全文内容。故选D项。‎ 答案：D B The human tendency to gravitate toward people that are similar to them starts early.Among schoolage children, the behaviour called homophily, or “love of the same” often has to do with how others dress or act.Adults tend to form groups based - 7 -‎ ‎ on professions or personalities.However, forming cliques (小集团) and shutting out those that are “different” is not just a human characteristic.South Africa's Cape baboons (大狒狒) show a similar tendency too!‎ A team of researchers followed the same two troops of baboons for several months.What they noticed was that like humans, baboons rarely left their original groups.To prove if their observations were correct, the researchers conducted an experiment.‎ They began by placing some foods that the baboons had never seen before on the edge of paths the animals frequently crossed.The researchers recorded the time it took a baboon to get close enough to examine the new foods and the time for ones that had the courage to taste them.Sure enough, the most curious and daring baboons all belonged to the same group.What did surprise the scientists was that the baboons with similar personalities hung out together, regardless of whether they were male or female.‎ The researchers say this behaviour is not a good sign for the animals, because the daring and curious baboons are also good problem solvers.The scientists worry that if the baboons share new problemsolving skills with only their group, it leaves the rest of the species vulnerable (易受伤害的) to any environmental changes or enemies.‎ Unfortunately, baboons are not the only animals that form cliques.In another study, the scientists divided 80 fish into two groups.After about three weeks, the fish were rearranged into smaller groups of ten.The researchers observed that many of the fish that had spent time together in the original two groups seemed to seek each other out.What was even more interesting was that once they regrouped, they were able to find the hidden food much faster.This led the researchers to think that like humans, the fish tended to share their secrets with their best “friends”．‎ ‎5．What can be used to replace the underlined word “gravitate” in Paragraph 1?‎ A．Lose respect.‎ B．Feel attracted.‎ C．Move smoothly.‎ D．Behave naturally.‎ ‎6．What might the researchers worry about?‎ A．Baboons tend to be attacked.‎ - 7 -‎ B．Baboons may be reduced in numbers.‎ C．Baboons are suffering from a lack of foods.‎ D．Baboons have difficulty in solving problems.‎ ‎7．Why is the experiment on fish mentioned?‎ A．To show they are different from baboons.‎ B．To introduce humanlike behaviour in fish.‎ C．To prove other animals form groups as well.‎ D．To explain how they get on with each other.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　研究发现，南非的狒狒有和人类相似的特点：个性相同的狒狒会形成一个小团体，也很少离开原来的团体。它们把学到的新技能分享给自己的团体，而研究发现鱼类也有类似的特征。‎ ‎5．解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段中的画线词所在句以及下文中的“Among schoolage children，the behaviour called homophily, or ‘love of the same’ often has to do with how others dress or act.”可知，人类很早就倾向于被那些与自己相似的人所吸引。学龄儿童的这种行为被称为“同质性”或者“同样的爱好”，通常与他人的穿着或行为有关。由此可以推知，画线词表示“被……所吸引”，故选B项。‎ 答案：B ‎6．解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The scientists worry that if the baboons share new problemsolving skills with only their group，it leaves the rest of the species vulnerable to any environmental changes or enemies”可知，科学家们担心如果狒狒只与它自己的团体分享解决问题的新技能，剩下的种群则易受环境变化和敌人的影响，由此可推知，科学家们担心这种影响最终可能会导致狒狒种群数量的减少，故选B项。‎ 答案：B ‎7．解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Unfortunately, baboons are not the only animals that form cliques.In another study, the scientists divided 80 fish into two groups.”可知，其他动物也有组成小团体的倾向，列举研究鱼类的实验就是为了证明这个论点。故C项正确。‎ 答案：C Ⅱ.七选五 How to keep yourself safe from novel coronavirus?‎ After a newtype coronavirus was detected in viral pneumonia cases in Central China's Wuhan city, more cases have been reported around the world. 1 ： ‎ ⅰ.Wear masks outdoors ‎·Wearing a mask is one of the most effective ways to protect you from getting -
