课时提能练(二十六).阅读理解A(2019昆明调研)When she was found off the coast of California four years ago，the fur seal，known as Ziggy Star，was skinny and fragile.She was unfit to return to the wild.And through a professional rescue team took her in to care for her，Ziggy continued to decline.“I wouldnt have given her next week，”says Uriarte，a surgeon who led a recent firstofitskind brain operation on the seal.The operation was the first of its kind to treat hydrocephalus in fur seals.The surgical team at Tufts was unable to find any documented evidence of a similar procedure，so they needed a lot of preparation to operate on Ziggys brain.The biggest concern in operating on Ziggy was how to control the animals anesthesia(麻醉)“When theyre under anesthesia their bodys reaction includes decreasing their heart rate，blood pressure，and breathing，”says Flower，who observes Ziggy and the other animals care，describing the special challenges of operating on seals.On the day of the surgery，Flower says that she and her team“were all quite anxious not knowing what would happen”Moving quickly was extremely important；the longer she was under anesthesia，the more likely that she could lose her breathing，says the surgeon.The seal has been kept on land to prevent water from entering the cut on her head.Now，Ziggy is eating a full diet and is beginning to gain weight again.“Recently Ive allowed her to go swimming，”says Flower.However，the source of Ziggys neurological disorder(神经紊乱) is still a mystery.“My theory is that when she was found，she had a head injury，”Uriarte says.“Hit by a boat maybe.That happens a lot with seals.”Flower is less willing to guess.“I dont think theres enough information to make that assumption.We just dont know what happened to her.”【语篇解读】本文是动物保护类记叙文。Ziggy Star是一只在加利福尼亚海岸被发现的非常瘦弱的海豹，因为Ziggy有脑积水，医生为她进行了手术，她现在已经能够正常进食，体重也在逐步恢复，但究竟是什么导致了她的神经紊乱，这依旧是一个谜。1When first found，Ziggy Star looked Athin and weak Bactive and excitedCbloody and fierce Dstrong and

beating faster，its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream.Although the cat doesnt realize this，its body is getting ready for action.If the danger continues，the animal will do one of two things.It will protect itself，or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited，angry or scared by other feelings，our bodies go through many physical changes.Our hearts beat faster，and our muscles get tense.All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react.We，too，get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings，however，have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over，we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later？Have you ever shouted at a teacher，told somebody you were lonely，or said you were in love，and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut？It isnt always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that its smarter to always hide our feelings？No！If you keep feelings of anger，sadness hidden away or bottled up inside，your body stays tense.Physical illness can develop，and you can feel disturbed badly inside.It can actually be bad for your health.It isnt good to keep pleasant feelings inside either；all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside dont just go away.Its as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard.You might not be able to see them，but before long youd smell them.And if you opened the cupboard，chances are that youd see little fruit flies flying all over them.They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide them and you can pretend they dont exist，but theyll still be around.And at last youll have to deal with them，just like those bananas.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，由猫面对害怕而表现出的行为引出人类有同样遭遇时的表现，但人类不能控制感情的时候会陷入困境。由此，作者告诉我们应该以一种明智而恰当的方式对待这种情况，即合理地表达感受。5When people and animals are aroused by fear， Athey feel very regretful immediatelyBtheir muscles get neither tense nor relaxedCtheir hearts beat either faster or slowerDthey may get ready to attack or run

according to the passage?AThey are usually not as alert as animals.BThey sometimes cant control their feelings.CThey always do something wrong to other people.DThey dont pay attention to their physical changes.B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“If we give way to our feelings and let them take over，we can get into trouble”可知，人们陷入困境是因为他们有时不能控制自己的感情，因此选B。7What can we infer from the passage?AHolding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.BBananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.CFeelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in.DIts good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.A细节理解题。根据第四段中的“If you keep feelings of anger.It can actually be bad for your health”可知，把感情隐藏在内心会导致不好的结果。8What is the purpose of this passage?ATo tell us that peoples feelings are like

sth.)“向某人提供(情况)”为固定用法。5A.separate Bnarrow Clong DcrowdedA考查形容词。根据下文中的“We back found him”可知，作者他们和老人分路而行。separate“分开的”，go ones separate ways“分路而行，分道扬镳”为固定用法。6A.reminded Bpredicted Cdecided DrememberedC考查动词。Norah决定(decided)要与老人一起合影。7A.talk Breunion Cmoment DpictureD考查名词。参见上题解析。从下文中的“Shed like to know if youd take a photo with her”可知选picture。8A.street Bstore Crestaurant
