小学+初中+高中+努力=大学小学+初中+高中+努力=大学课后阅读训练九Unit 3Period 1.阅读理解A My grandmother Gaia turned 80 this year.Gaia and I had only gotten closer as Id grown up.Her honesty about her growth,in a family that didnt respect a womans right to self-expression,helped me not only understand her better but also appreciate the difficulties the women of her generation had to overcome.So there was no way I was going to miss her birthday.I flew from Texas to New Jersey,and drove to Gaia s house with my parents.I greeted her,wished her a happy birthday and walked around the party,eating something and meeting her very best friends in the world.Then,Gaia did an amazing thing.After everyone arrived,she had all of us gather in the living room.“I am so grateful that you are all here,”Gaia said,“and I want to tell each one of you how much I love you.”Several of her friends,more comfortable thanking others than being thanked,protested that it was her birthday,but Gaia was determined.She spent the next 45 minutes publicly thanking every person at the party,mentioning their many good deeds.She thanked their work as doctors,social workers and volunteers;as helpers of the blind,the dying,the elderly and sometimes just regular people who needed comfort.She did this with a face full of life and 小学+初中+高中+努力=大学小学+初中+高中+努力=大学love.I was inspired.She was showing the strength she had hinted at before but had never showed so clearly.I was witnessing a holy(圣洁的)change,from a good-hearted but frightened person to a woman with the courage to be grateful and say it out loud.And I understood that my fears didn t need to own my life.If my 80-year-old grandmother could be courageous,then so could I.【语篇概述】参加老奶奶的生日聚会,让作者明白了要有勇气大声地表达自己的情感。1.We can know from the first paragraph that Gaia was born in a family where she_.A.was honesty and determined B.was afraid of expressing herself C.understood others better D.appreciated others good deeds【解析】选 B。细节理解题。根据第一段可知,Gaia出生在一个不尊重女人自我表达权利的家庭。2.The author flew from Texas to New Jersey to_.A.meet some of her best friends B.see her parents regularly C.say happy birthday to Gaia D.enjoy something delicious 小学+初中+高中+努力=大学小学+初中+高中+努力=大学【解析】选 C。细节理解题。根据第二段可知,作者认为没有什么错过Gaia生日的理由。因此从德克萨斯飞到新泽西,与父母一起参加Gaia 的生日聚会。3.In the opinion of some of Gaias friends,_.A.they should congratulate to Gaia together B.they should thank the author one by one C.Gaia should help regular people more D.Gaia should thank them publicly【解析】选 A。推理判断题。根据第三段可知,Gaia做了一件令人惊奇的事,她把大家召集在客厅,花了 45 分钟一个一个地感谢每一个人,提及每个人所做的好事。当时,有几个朋友抗议说,是 Gaia的生日,他们应该向Gaia表示祝贺而不是接受Gaia的感谢;而且,对他们来说,感谢别人比被别人感谢要舒服得多。4.What does the underlined part“hinted at”in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Used.B.Considered.C.Changed.D.Mentioned.【解析】选 D。词义猜测题。根据上下文可知,作者受到很大的鼓舞。Gaia展示了一种勇气,这种勇气尽管她以前“提到过”,但是却没有这样淋漓尽致地表现出来过。回首第一段Gaia所受的家教可知,Gaia一直想这样做,肯定与作者“谈到过”,只是没有表现出来而已。B At one time,people used to travel to foreign countries 小学+初中+高中+努力=大学小学+初中+高中+努力=大学because they thought they would be different from home the building,the food,the national dress.Nowadays,however,one large city is very like another.They all have their Hilton or Sheraton Hotels which look Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere.They all have their McDonalds,their KFCs,and their Pizza Huts.Office buildings look the same everywhere,and the worlds airlines are all flying the same aircraft,Boeings or Airbuses.What,therefore,is the purpose of foreign travel for people who are not on business?What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they cannot experience at home?Why travel to foreign countries at all?The answer could be that people are very interested in the past.It is a nations history that is its main

of tourism,and it is the museums and works of art in many countries that are their main attractions.If they are luckyand have had sensible,strong governmentsmany countries also usually have at least a few beautiful places for tourists to visit.Finally there is perhaps a nation s greatest attraction:its people.A nation is not just its historical buildings,its works of art or beautiful places;it is also the people who live in it.This is why a country such as Thailand attracts millions of people every year.They come mainly because of the friendliness of the Thai people.It is why the Pacific Islands are also so 小学+初中+高中+努力=大学小学+初中+高中+努力=大学popular.【语篇概述】文章主要介绍了人们到国外旅游的原因。5.The passage is mainly about_.A.the importance of tourism B.different foreign cultures C.how to plan an overseas trip
