课时提能练(二十).阅读理解A(2019长沙检测)We talk about people being“colourblind”but very few of us are.Even those who describe themselves as colourblind are normally just colour deficient.A strongly colourblind person will still be able to tell 20 different colours，compared to the 100 or so that normalsighted people see.Pingelap，a tiny island in the Pacific，is a beautiful spot but one that has a genetic trouble.It is known as Colourblind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white.Not being able to see in colour is bad enough.But one islander，Herrol，whos a fisherman，also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burntout image.“I find it difficult to go outside in the sun，”he says，“because when its sunny I cannot see to do my work.”But if being truly colourblind is rare，why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap live in a totally black and white world?Well，we know that in 1780 the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami(海啸)As few as 20 people survived，one of whom was the king.Its believed he had a genetic fault that causes colourblindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations.There is one advantage.Herrol can see well，really well，in the dark.So when it gets dark，Herrol and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish.They hang up flaming torches and the flying fish are attracted to the flames.“This type of fishing is fun，”Herrol says，“especially if we catch plenty.So even though its hard work we enjoy it.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了色盲岛Pingelap岛，以及该岛上居民色盲的原因、情况等。1What is Pingelap famous as?AA tiny island.BA beautiful island.CA mentally troubled island.DA colourblind island.D细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“It is known as Colourblind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white”可知，Pingelap岛因被称为色盲岛而出名，故D项正确。2What can we infer about Herrol?AHe may stay at home when its sunny.BHe is interested in burntout images.CHe likes taking photos very much.DHe doesnt live in Pingelap any more.A推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句中的“I find it difficult to go outside in the sun.because when its sunny I cannot see to do my work”可知，他发现在阳光下无法看东西，所以无法工作；据此可以判断，阳光充足时他可能会待在家里面，故A项正确。3Why are about onetenth of people in Pingelap colourblind?ABecause Pingelap often suffers from tsunamis.BBecause the king had an unlucky marriage.CBecause the kings genetic fault played a role.DBecause the king made a serious mistake.C细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“Its believed he had a genetic fault that causes colourblindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations”可知，该岛的国王有导致色盲的基因，这是一种基因缺陷，他将这一基因传给了后代，所以岛上的很多人是色盲，故C项正确。4What would be the best title for the text?AThe Island of ColourBlindnessBThe Disadvantage of HerrolCThe History of PingelapDThe Advantage of ColourBlindnessA标题判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了色盲岛Pingelap岛，故A项正确。B(2019河北五校联考)Imagine this scene：its blowing outside，and you snuggle(蜷伏) up on the sofa under a warm quilt，chatting and recalling with your closest friends.That content，cosy feeling，has a name in Danishhygge.And，as Denmark recently won the title of“the happiest country in the world”，the concept of hygge is known to more and more people interested in finding ways to understand this concept.Hyggeoriginally from a Norwegian word meaning wellbeingdoesnt have an exact equivalent(对应物) in English.Its often translated as coziness，or as blogger Anna West told the BBC，“coziness of the soul”But，professor Maren Spark explains，“Hygge_was_never_meant_to_be_translated.It_was_meant_to_be_felt.”Basically，hygge involves creating a warm，cosy atmosphere and enjoying it with your loved ones.Danish winters are long and dark，so achieving hygge is particularly relevant during this season.A typical hygge activity during winter could be enjoying delicious homemade food and lighthearted conversation with friendspreferably in the warm glow of candlelight，or maybe sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub after a day spent skiing.However，hygge isnt only limited to the cold winter monthsit can also describe that warm，fuzzy feeling you get after a walk through a forest with friends on a summers day or a family barbecue in the park.Hygge is meant to be shared.【语篇解读】每年，丹麦人都会经历漫长而阴沉的冬日，可是丹麦却被认为是世界上最幸福的国家。文章向我们介绍了丹麦人是如何通过创造舒适的环境来提高幸福指数的。5The author asks the readers to imagine the scene in the first paragraph to _Ahelp the readers to calm downBintroduce the topic of the passageCpresent the main idea of the passageDremind the readers of their past memoriesB推理判断题。由文章第一段和第二段可知，作者让读者想象这个情景是为了引出文章所要介绍的话题“hygge”。6What do the underlined sentences by Maren Spark mean?AThe translation of the word“hygge”is not good enough.BOnly Danish speakers know what“hygge”means.C“Hygge”is easy to translate but hard to feel.DWe can get the true meaning of“hygge”by feeling it.D句意理解题。根据第三段可知，“hygge”这个
