北邮大学英语2阶段3作业

一、阅读理解（共1道小题，共25.0分）

1. Sixty-year-old grandmother, Fiona McFee, is going to stop working next year and she decided to realize a childhood

dream and sail around the coast of Scotland in a small boat. Although the inside of the boat is very cosy, it has no running water or electricity. Fiona says she can live without these things but she plans to take her small CD player, her hot water

bottle and a bag of books to make sure life isn?t too uncomfortable.

We asked her if she was afraid of being at sea for so long. She said, “Well, I?m going to take a good compass (指南针).

Anyway I?m not afraid of death because I love the sea---I just hope it loves me.”Fiona certainly has plenty of energy; in her spare time, she enjoys playing the piano, rock-climbing, canoeing and dancing. Although she is sixty, she doesn?t want to have a quiet and peaceful life. “I?m looking forward to having fun in the rest of my life and that?s exactly why I?d like to be a sailor for a while.”

1. The underlined word cosy in the first paragraph means ____ .

A. bright

B. dirty

C. comfortable

D. dark

2. When Fiona McFee said “---I just hope it loves me”, what she meant was ____.

A. Of course, it loves me, since I love it.

B. If I love it, it should love me.

C. I hope it will bring me a safe sailing as a return for my love of it.

D. I hope it will save my life when I am in time of danger.

3. The reason why she would like to have the sail is that ____.

A. she thinks it will be very exciting

B. she likes sports and enjoys canoeing

C. she has decided to love the sea

D. she wants to be still active when she gets old

4. What kind of person would you say the old woman is?

A. Someone who does not show what she is feeling.

B. Someone who is very proud and sure of her success.

C. Someone who doesn?t use her head much.

D. Someone who is open, honest and brave.

5. The best title for this passage is ____ .

A. Life Begins at Sixty

B. A Round Coast Sail

C. An Old Woman Sailor

D. An Unusual Hobby(爱好)

试题分值：25.0

得分：[5, 5, 5, 5, 5]

提示：[1]C.词汇题。本题问“第一段的…cosy?是什么意思？”解决词汇题的思路是先找到该词语出现的句子。该句大意是“虽然船内非常的…cosy?，但是船上并没有自来水和电力”。这里来看前面半句讲的应该是这条船的优点，而后半句讲的是这条船的不

足，这里是通过前后的对比来猜测词义。据此可以推测“cosy”的意思是C。

[2]C.推断题。本题问“当Fiona说：…我只是希望大海也爱我?的时候，她的意思是_______。”答案在第二段的第三句，该句大

意是“Anyway I?m not afraid of death because I love the sea---I just hope it loves me.不管怎样，我并不惧怕死亡，因为我爱大海――我希望大海也爱我”。据此可以推测答案是C（我希望大海可以保佑我的航行平安，作为我爱它的回报）。A的意思是“因为我爱大海，所以大海当然爱我”，B的意思是“如果我爱大海，大海就会爱我”，D的意思是“我希望在我遇到危险的时候，大海能够救我”。

[3]D.推断题。本题问“Fiona想要航海的原因是_______。”答案在最后一段的最后两句，这两句大意是“Fiona精力特别充沛，

在闲暇的时候她喜欢弹钢琴，攀岩，划独木舟和跳舞。虽然年届60，但是她并不想过那种安静祥和的生活。…我喜欢我的后半生能过得有趣点，这就是为何我想要做一回航海家的原因?”。据此可知答案是D（她想在年纪大的时候还能充满活力）。

[4]D.推断题。本题问“你认为Fiona这个老太太是什么样的人？”根据我们上面几题的解释，我们可以得出答案是D（她是个

开放，诚实，勇敢的老太太）。A的意思是“她是个不敢表露真实想法的人”，B的意思是“她是个特别骄傲，对成功特有把握

的人”，C的意思是“她是个不太会用大脑的人”。

[5]A.中心思想题。本题让我们给文章选个最好的标题。A的意思是“生活在60岁才开始”，B的意思是“一次环绕海岸的航行”，

C的意思是“一位老年女航海家”，D的意思是“一个不寻常的爱好”。第一段的第一句告诉我们Fiona在60岁的时候决定要做一次航海，第二段告诉我们Fiona并不畏惧航海中的危险，而且她想让自己的后半生更有乐趣。据此我们可知A最适合做本文标题。

第2次作业 一、阅读理解（本大题共100分，共5小题，每小题20分） 1. Prehistoric men and women enjoyed a more varied diet than people do now, since they ate species of plant and several hundreds thousands types of living things. But only a tiny percentage of these were ever domesticated. Modern shops have hastened a trend towards specialization which began in the earliest days of agriculture. The food of the rich countries has become cheaper relative to wages. It is speedily distributed in supermarkets. But the choice annually becomes less and less great. Even individual foods themselves become more standardized. We live in the world of carrot specially blunted in order to avoid making a hole in the bag, and the tomato grown to meet a demand for a standard weight of weighting tomatoes to a kilo. Siri von Reis asks: "Only the three major cereals (谷物类食物)and perhaps ten other widely cultivated species stand between famine and survival for the world" s human population and a handful of drug plants has served Western civilization for several thousand years. A rather obvious question arises: Are we missing something?” After all, there are 800 000 species of plant on earth. (1). Tn prehistoric times people. A.ate much more than we do today B.lived mainly on plant food C.had a wide-ranging diet D.were more fussy about what they ate (2). Most of us have come to expect A. no variation in our diet B. a reduction in food supplies C. a specialist diet D. food conforming to a set standard (3). The specialization of food was started by

1. People have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research. Recently the term "health" has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another term----quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life. Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life？One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75. 2. 1. ______leads to people's deeper understanding of health. 2. https://www.wendangku.net/doc/351370808.html,mon knowledge 2.Progress in scientific research 3.Better conditions of living 4.Quality of life 3. According to the passage, to people of today, health means______. 4. 1.absence of illness 2. a long life 3.good conditions of living 4.overall satisfaction with life

My daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me ￡12.” Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, madam,”he said, “ I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd .” The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How ever had he made such a big mistake? Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look healthy,” he said to her. “ Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?” “Yes,”she answered. “The beach was beautiful. And I can swim too!” “ That’s fine,” said Harry. “ My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three-----” “ I’m four,” the child said proudly. “ I’ll soon be four and a half.” Harry turned to the mother. “ I remember your ticket, madam,”he said. “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?” “Er, well-----”The woman looked at the child. “I mean-----she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.” “A four year old child must have a ticket, madam. A child’s
