111课时作业(二十六)选修6Unit 1Art限时：30分钟 .完形填空When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was _1_ to see that it was an EnglishEnglish dictionary, also known as a monolingual(单语的) dictionary. _2_ it was a dictionary intended for nonnative learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely _3_ to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and still not fully understand the meaning. I was used to the _4_ bilingual(双语的)dictionaries, in which the words are _5_ both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt _6_ to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I _7_ that monolingual dictionaries are _8_ in learning a foreign language. As I found out, there is in fact often no perfect equivalence(对应) between two _9_ in two language. My aunt even goes so far as to _10_ that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the _11_ meaning of a word in English! Therefore, she insisted that I read the definition(定义) of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. _12_， I have come to see what she meant.Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n) _13_ number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am _14_ exposed to the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. _15_ this, I can express myself more easily in English.1A.worried Bsad Csurprised Dnervous2A.Because BAlthough CUnless DIf3A.difficult BinterestingCambiguous Dpractical4A.new Bfamiliar Cearlier Dordinary5A.explained BexpressedCdescribed Dcreated6A.offered Bagreed Cdecided Dhappened7A.imagine BrecommendCpredict Dunderstand8A.natural BbetterCeasier Dconvenient9A.words Bnames Cideas Dcharacters10A.hope Bdeclare Cdoubt Dtell11A.exact BbasicCtranslated Dexpected12A.Largely BGenerallyCGradually DProbably13A.extra Baverage Ctotal Dlimited14A.repeatedly BnearlyCimmediately Danxiously15A.According to BIn relation toCIn addition to DBecause of.阅读理解ATaylor Bernard and her twin sister were born 12 weeks early.

BA magazine.CThe Internet. DA report.BThe Lord of the Rings, one of the best sellers in the new millennium (千年), was made up of three partsThe Fellowship of the Ring, Two Towers, and The Return of the King. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892.His parents died when he was a child.Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkiens becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and AngloSaxon.After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology (神话) for The Rings. As a professor of AngloSaxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkiens imaginative work The Hobbit.Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for local people that could best be described as halfsized members of the English rural (乡村的) class. Hobbit live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves (侏儒). On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.One of Tolkiens students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft (草稿)The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a childrens book would be his tenyearold son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and The Hobbit, was published in 1937.It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation.Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced The Lord of the Rings, a series of books so creative that they hold readersnew and oldafter their publication.21What can we learn from the text?AThe Lord of the Rings didnt sell well in the last millennium.BPeople know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.CTolkien was quite familiar with Old English.DTolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.22What can we learn about Hobbit that Tolkien created in his works?AHobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.BHobbit was a group of local people who were very tall and strong.CHobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles.DHobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves.23Which of the following helped most in making The Hobbit published?AOne of Tolkiens students.BStanley Unwins son.CAllen & Unwin.DBilbo Baggins.24What is mainly discussed in the text?AThe Lord of the Rings and its writer.BA completely new masterwork in the new millennium.CA famous professor at Oxford University.DThe power of the magic ring.25Which of the following shows the right order of Mr JR.

Its changed her whole life.可推断出她的母亲看到别人对女儿的看法的改变，应该会高兴的，故选D项。17C细节理解题。由倒数第二段最后一句Now shes more focused on school可知在发现绘画的才能后，她能够更集中精力学习，学习也一定有提高，故选C项。18A主旨大意题。综观全文，本文主要介绍了两位有残疾的孩子在国际艺术节上展示了她们的创造力，故选A项。B项在文中找不到支持的信息；C项不具体，本文主要是针对残疾孩子的表现，而不是艺术节；D项为文中细节。19C推理判断题。由第一段最后一句Her twin sister Sydney participates in sports可知她的双胞胎姐妹能正常参加体育运动，身体应该是健康的，故选C项。A、D两项与文中信息不符，B项为文中细节，不为推断。20C推理判断题。由本文最后一句You can see more of Amandas artwork at amandalamunyon.com.可推出本文应该来自网络。B本文主要介绍了指环王这部作品及其作者Tolkien的情况。21C推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句话可知，他对古英语很熟悉，而不是精通非洲各地的语言，故选C。22D细节理解题。由第四段第一句话可知，Hobbit是Tolkien创造出来的一个名词，用来指比正常人矮一半的人，即侏儒(dwarves)。23B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，出版商Stanley Unwin让他的儿子看The Hobbit 并评价。他的儿子看过后觉得很好，于是Unwin便出版了The Hobbit。因此B项正确，即Stanley Unwin的儿子在The Hobbit的出版过程中起的作用最大。24A主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了指环王和它的作者。25B排序题。通读全文可知答案为B。111
