Ⅳ.阅读理解
People turn to magic (魔力) chiefly as a form of insurance—that is，they use it along with actions that actually bring results.For example，hunters may use a hunting charm (咒语)．But they also use their hunting skills and knowledge of animals.The charm may give hunters the extra confidence they need to hunt even more successfully than they would without it.If they shoot a lot of game (猎物)，they credit the charm for their success.Many events happen naturally without magic.Crops grow without it，and sick people get
well without it.But if people use magic to bring a good harvest or to cure a patient，they may believe the magic was responsible.
People also tend to forget magic’s failures and to be impressed by its surface successes.They may consider magic successful if it appears to work only 10 per cent of the time.Even when magic fails，people often explain the failure without doubting the power of the magic.They may say that the magician made a mistake in reciting the spell or that another magician cast a more powerful spell against the magician.
Many anthropologists (人类学家) believe that people have faith in magic because they feel a need to believe in it.People may turn to magic to reduce their fear and uncertainty if they feel they have no control over the outcome of a situation.For example，farmers use knowledge and skill when they plant their fields.But they know that weather，insects，or diseases might ruin the crops.So farmers in some societies may also plant a charm or perform a magic rite to ensure a good harvest.
41．From the passage，we can learn that the writer of the passage may be________.
A．a hunter B．a farmer
C．a magician
D．an anthropologist
42．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A．Magic and Hunting
B．Magic and Farming
C．Why Magic Works?
D．Why People Believe in Magic?
43．The underlined word “spell”( Paragraph 2 ) most likely means________.
A．magic words
B．magic events
C．words or expressions
D．magicians
44．People believe in magic because________.
A．magic powers are greater than natural powers
B．magic can turn dreams into reality
C．they are not sure of themselves
D．magic can bring good results
45．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Even though magic fails，believers in magic will explain the reason.
B．Believers in magic usually overstate the power of magic.
C．People use magic to reduce their uncertainty and give them extra confidence.
D．Magic can solve problems people can’t deal with in a natural way.
课时作业答案

Ⅲ.完形填空
【语篇解读】
本文通过Washington Roebling的故事告诉我们：只要有决心就能获得成功。
21．A 从上文的however和下文可知，其他专家认为这项工程困难太大，不可能完成，故impossible正确。
22．C 由上下文可知，John Roebling认为工程是可以完成的，所以不愿放弃，故C项符合文意，此时，应特别注意空前的否定词not。
23．D 由下文可知，父子二人共同开始这项工程，说明John Roebling说服了儿子，只有managed to能表达这一含义。
24．B crew指“(有专门技术的)一组工作人员”，而建设桥梁这样的工作正需要这样的人，所以crew为正确答案。其他选项与文意不符。
25．C 由下文可知，工程刚开始不久就发生了事故，故after最符合文意。
26．A 由下文leaving him brain－damaged and unable to move可知，儿子Washington Roebling伤势严重，故选A。
27．D 由下文Washington Roebling用敲打手指的方法来传递信息，可知事故使他失去了行走及说话能力，故选D。注意say为及物动词，要有宾语，因此可以排除。
28．B 由文意可知，既然工程的两位工程师都无法指挥，那么工程应该放弃了，故B项正确。
29．A 由上下文可知，儿子Washington身体受到极大创伤，但(精神)没有被厄运打败，故defeat正确。
30．A sharp可以用来指人的头脑、眼睛等敏锐，由上下文可知，Washington身在医院，但头脑仍十分敏锐，所以能成功地指挥工人完成桥梁建设。其他选项与文意不符。
31．D 由上下文可知，Washington无法走动和说话，但他想到可以用手指来传递信息。hit表示“使 (某人) 突然想起”；occur to也可表达此意，但要注意把介词to丢掉是错误的。
32．C 由上下文tapping her arm可知，Washington开始用手指轻敲妻子的胳膊来传递信息，所以C项正确。
33．C 由文意可知，Washington是想“告诉”妻子如何去做，indicating符合此意。
34．B 由文意可知，Washington作为桥梁的工程师，“指挥”完成了工程，所以instructions正确。
35．C 由上文可知，工程浩大而困难，但最终他们完成了，此处只有eventually能表示此含义。
36．A 由上文可知，Washington身残志坚，克服了重重困难完成了工程。正是这种永不言弃 (never－say－die) 的精神，使其克服了身体的残疾，所以A项最符合文意。
37．D 由文意和achieves可知，Washington达到了一个原本不可能实现的目标，故goal正确。
38．C 由文意可知，作者通过此事告诉读者，在很多情况下，我们的问题和其他人面临的问题相比是微不足道的，故compared to正确。
39．B 由上下文可知，即使是看起来不可能实现的梦想只要有决心就会实现，故distant正确。
40．A 这个故事告诉我们要想成功，要有顽强的决心，故determination符合文意。
Ⅳ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】 本文科学地分析了人们相信魔法的原因。
41．D 推理判断题。为什么有些人相信魔法呢？魔法真的灵验吗？这些人相信魔法是因为他们缺乏自信。作者以科学眼光分析了这种社会现象，应该是一位人类学家。
42．D 标题概括题。全文主要介绍了人们为什么相信魔法。
43．A 词义猜测题。同形异义词需要根据上下文语境确定其具体意义，不可受原先熟悉词义的约束。文中第二段的“spell”与“拼写”无关而是指“咒语”，相当于上文的charm。
44．C 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句话，当人们无法控制情况的后果时，就可能转向魔法来减轻自己的恐惧或不安，可知人们缺乏自信。
45．D 细节理解题。D项意为：咒语可以解决人们用自然方式不能解决的问题。由文章内容可知，咒语只是人们解决问题时的一种寄托和心理安慰，并不能真正地帮助解决问题，故D项表述错误。
