　　(2017·枣庄高三模拟)

　　The works of Shakespeare and Wordsworth are “rocket­boosters” to the brain and better than the other self­help books，researchers will say this week.

　　Scientists，psychologists and the English experts at Liverpool University have found that reading the works of Shakespeare and other classical writers has a beneficial effect on the mind，catches the reader’s attention and triggers moments of self­reflection.Using scanners，they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read the works by William Shakespeare，William Wordsworth，T.S Eliot and other classical writers.

　　They then “translated” the texts into more “straightforward”，modern language and again monitored the readers’ brains as they read the words.Scans showed that the more “challenging” articles and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the modern versions.Scientists were able to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and record how it “lit up” as the readers came across unusual words，surprising phrases or difficult sentence structures.This “lighting up” of the mind lasts longer than the initial electrical spark，shifting the brain to a higher speed，encouraging further reading.

　　The research also found that reading poetry，in particular，increases the activities in the right side of the brain，an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”，helping readers to reflect on their own experiences in light of what they have read.The experts said this meant the classics were more useful than self­help books.

　　Philip Davis，an English professor who has worked on the study with the university，will

　　tell a conference

　　this

　　week：“Serious

　　literature

　　acts

　　like

　　a rocket­booster (火箭助推器) to the brain.”

　　“The research shows the power of classical literature to shift mental pathways，to create new thoughts，shapes and connections in the young and the old alike.”

　　1．The author mentioned Shakespeare and Wordsworth in Paragraph One to________.

　　A．show their great achievements

　　B．attract our interest in literature

　　C．introduce the topic of the text

　　D．encourage us to read their works

　　2．According to the text，reading classical works can________.

　　A．help deal with some physical problems

　　B．benefit our mind and thinking

　　C．improve our reading skills

　　D．help learn more about history

　　3．The scientists and experts did the experiment by________.

　　A．scanning the readers’ brain activities

　　B．reading works of different writers

　　C．lighting up the activities of the brains

　　D．investigating the habits of the readers

　　4．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that reading poetry________.

　　A．is concerned with the right side of the brain

　　B．has the same effects as reading self­help books

　　C．helps you forget the things in the past

　　D．makes you more serious and objective

　　5．What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?

　　A．To introduce some great writers in England.

　　B．To present a study on brain activities.

　　C．To introduce a research on reading classics.

　　D．To show the power of classical literature.

　　课时作业(三十九)

　　Ⅰ.单项填空

　　1．解析：　考查虚拟语气。句意为：——John，不要按那个按钮。——如果我按了，那会怎么样？if后其实是省略句，表示对现在的虚拟，应用一般过去时，故选A。

　　答案：　A

　　2．解析：　考查介词短语辨析。句意为：孩子们在成绩方面的差异不可能完全从他们的社会背景角度来解释。A项意为“据，按照，在……方面”；B项意为“支持，赞成”；C项意为“为纪念，为庆祝，向……表示敬意”；D项意为“负责，主管”。由此结合空后的“social backgrounds”和语境可知，in terms of与题意相符。

　　答案：　A

　　3．解析：　考查非谓语动词。句意为：刚在成都定居时，Maria发现自己很不适应这里的辛辣食物。分析句子结构可知，此处应填非谓语动词，settle与其逻辑主语Maria之间构成主动关系，而且动作已经发生，故选A，现在分词作时间状语。

　　答案：　A

　　4．解析：　考查反意疑问句。若陈述部分是一个主从复合句，附加问句一般要与主句保持一致，根据本题中的“I told Mom”可知B项正确。

　　答案：　B

　　5．解析：　考查非谓语动词。句意为：——你能给我介绍一款高性能的机器吗？——我很乐意。因为这款车即使在潮湿的道路上也能运行很好，所以很受欢迎。handle和this kind of car是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用handle的过去分词形式，选A。

　　答案：　A

　　6．解析：　考查形容词作状语。句意为：这个男人喝醉了，睡了。当他醒来的时候，他发现他的鞋子没脱。drunk喝醉的，形容词作状语表状态。

　　答案：　D

　　7．解析：　考查动词词义。句意为：尽管他将文件仔细地看了一遍又一遍，但是遗憾地发现他仍忽略了一个重要细节。此句强调无意中忽视，故选overlook。

　　答案：　B

　　8．解析：　考查动词辨析。句意为：据科学家说，我们的思考能力在 22 岁达到顶峰后，从 27 岁开始下降。所以用decline。differ表示“与……不同”，shrink表示“收缩”，fail表示“失败”，均与语境不符。

　　答案：　D

　　9．解析：　考查省略和动词时态。句意为：我不明白你为什么不按照我告诉你的去做，你已经是第三次这样了。在时间、条件、方式、让步等状语从句中，如果从句的主语和主句的主语一致，且谓语动词是系动词be时，那么就可以把从句中的主语和系动词be一起省略。因此，第一空中，as引导的方式状语从句的完整形式为：as (you are) told to (do)；第二空中，在“It is the＋序数词＋time＋that从句(that可省略)”句式中，that从句的谓语动词要用现在完成时。

　　答案： 　B

　　10．解析：　考查动词词义。句意为：当他开口说话时，他浓重的口音立刻显示出他来自中国的南部地区。 betray显露出(本来面目)，背叛，符合题意。believe相信；express表达；press压，挤。

　　答案：　D

　　11．解析：　be superior to意为“比……优越；超过……”。

　　答案：　C

　　12．解析：　句意为：——他尽力结识那位著名教授，并说服他当他的导师。——祝他成功。make the acquaintance of sb.结识；与……相见，是固定短语。make a decision about就……做出决定；function作用，功能，职能；make friends with与……交朋友。

　　答案：　C

　　13．解析：　考查非谓语动词。主语he与动词drive之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词Driven作原因状语。

　　答案：　C

　　14．解析：　考查名词辨析。句意为：双方都决意得到他们想要的东西，似乎没有妥协的可能。competence能力，胜任，本领；composition成分，作品；competition竞争；compromise妥协，折中。

　　答案：　D

　　15．解析：　考查情景交际。答语语意是：为什么不呢？如果我是你，我肯定会接受的。根据答语第二句可知，对方认为提问者应该接受邀请，所以B项符合语境。

　　答案：　B

　　With the sharp rise of the cost of college education，students have a few ways to pay for their college tuition fees.Many students just let their parents pay the tuition.Some students may apply for a bank loan and others will try to find part­time jobs both on campus and out of campus.Apart from these ways，many good students will win a scholarship.In this way they can pay at least part of their tuition fees.

　　As for me，I will let my parents pay half of my tuition fees because they are not rich enough.Besides my studies，I will take up a part­time job as a tutor teaching some high school students mathematics，physics and English，as I’m very good at these subjects.Of course I will work very hard at my lessons so that I can win a scholarship.I think that’s enough to pay the cost of my college education.
