Unit 3 Life in the future .阅读理解Seated in a convertible(敞篷车) with the top down at 60 miles an hour,Mary looked at the flies that sat on top of Marks hair.How could they stay there?She wondered.Mary had not seen Mark in years,until the other day when he came into the cafe where she worked.His appearance was different from when he was in high school.Now,he was a bit fat and thick glasses covered his eyes.However,that didnt change Marys feelings for him at all.He had just bought a brand new red sports car and asked her if she would like to go for a ride and then have dinner with him.Her heart beat with excitement as he opened the door for her.She noticed something very strange as Mark got into the car and started to drive away.On the hair was a group of flies just sitting there.Mary stared in amazement.It seemed the faster they drove,the more determined the flies were to stick to his hair.Mary remained silent.She leaned forward and turned the radio on,trying to divert her attention away from the flies,but she couldnt help thinking about them.She looked up at Mark,who was completely devoted to what was going on and continued to sing to the music while driving merrily along.Finally,Mark pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road beside a diner and looked in the mirror and said,“Mary,I would like to comb my hair before we get something to eat.Could you reach under the seat and give me my hair cream?”Mary reached under the seat and pulled out a camping backpack,which contained a round jar and started to laugh wildly as she pointed to the label(商标).“Thats not hair cream on your hair,Mark!It says its Fly Trap Glue!”【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。Mark开着新买的跑车约Mary出去玩,Mary发现有几只苍蝇在Mark的头发上一直一动不动,这使她百思不得其解。最后,Mary终于知道了原因,原来是Mark误将捕蝇胶当作发乳抹在了头发上。1.What can we learn from the text?A.Mark had bought a new sports car for Mary.B.Mark used to be a thin,handsome boy.C.Mark and Mary had been in love for years.D.Mary felt strange when she saw the red car.答案B解析推理判断题。根据第二段第二、三句“His appearance was different from when he was in high school.Now,he was a bit fat and thick glasses covered his eyes.”可知,Mark现在的外表跟他在高中时有差别,他现在有些胖而且还戴着厚厚的眼镜。由此可推知,Mark曾经是一个瘦瘦的、帅气的男孩。故选B项。A项和C项文中并未提及:D项错在Mary看到跑车时感到奇怪,应该是看到Mark的头发上一直有几只苍蝇一动不动感到奇怪。2.Why did Mary burst into laughter?A.Because Mary played a trick on Mark.B.Because their ride wasnt well prepared.C.Because Mark had prepared a jar of hair cream for her.D.Because Mark had mistaken Fly Trap Glue for hair cream.答案D解析细节理解题。该题问的是Mary为什么突然大笑起来。根据最后一段可知,这是因为Mark误将捕蝇胶当作发乳抹在了头发上。故选D项。3.What can be the best title for this passage?A.Stuck on youB.Unchanged loveC.A hair trickD.A wonderful ride答案A解析标题概括题。根据文章内容可知,本文主要讲述的是:Mark约Mary出去玩,Mary发现Mark头发上一直有几只苍蝇一动不动,感到很奇怪,后来Mary才发现这是因为Mark误将捕蝇胶当作发乳抹在头发上了,所以那些苍蝇才会粘在Mark的头发上。A项意为“粘住你”,体现了本文的核心内容,适合做标题。故选A项。.七选五(2018全国)Color is fundamental in home designsomething youll always have in every room.A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms youll love to live in.Do you want a room thats full of life?Professional?Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day?1,color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.Over the years,there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point.2,they can get a little complex.But good news is that therere really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home:the small ones,the medium ones,and the large ones.3.Theyre the little spots of color like throw pillows,mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms.Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa,small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable.
