新人教版高三英语必修一Unit4练习试题及答案(2)Part three :阅读理解A篇 Car PollutionSome cars do not run the way they should. Bad smoke from a car can get into the air. This bad smoke is called pollution.Pollution turns the air a gray(灰色的) color. It is very dirty. It is not good for people to breathe this dirty air.To keep pollution down, the states tests cars every two years. This test checks to make sure the cars do not pollute the air. If a car does not pass the test, the owner cannot drive it the next year.Some car owners drive their cars even though they cannot pass the test. It is also very bad for the air.People want to find a way to get these cars off the road. So a state program(项目) was started that now seems to be helping. In this program the States buys cars that cannot pass the test or will help pay for repairs. This program has been helping people buy better cars or fix their old ones. It has also been helping to cut down on pollution.To meet the needs for the program, a car must be drivable and the owner must meet certain income(收入) restrictions(限制). In order to get help from the program, a motorist must have a family income of no more than 185% of the national poverty guidelines(贫困线). For a family of four, that would be no more than $32,653 each year.The state program that takes polluting cars off the road has just finished its first year, and people say it has been successful.For the past year, the state program has been buying cars that can’t pass the test. Some car owners get as much as $1,000 for their old ones, while others receive as much as $500 forrepairs.The cars bought by the States through the program are put out of use and sent to dismantlers(拆卸厂).46. Cars get tested every two years to make sure ________.A. the owners can get some moneyB. they can get repaired on timeC. they don’t pollute the airD. the government can decide to buy them or not47. A car owner can get some money from the program if he / she has ________.A. a motorB. only one carC. a small familyD. a low income48. After being bought by the government, a car will be ________.A. put out of useB. repairedC. tested againD. reusedB篇One silly question I simply can’t understand is “How do you feel?” Usually the question I asked of a man’s action—a man on the go, walking along the street or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right, ” but you’ve put a bug in his ear—maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he overlooked(忽略) that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else. “How do you feel?”Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for example, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying take a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays, was in his eighties, someone asked him, “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age, ” he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead. ”49. The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of ______.A. a man working at his deskB. a person having lost a close friendC. a stranger who looks worriedD. a friend who is ill50. The writer seems to feel that a busy man should______.A. be praised for his effortsB. never be asked any questionC. not be bothered(烦扰)D. be discouraged from working so hard51. George Bernard’s reply in the passages shows his______.A. cheerfulnessB. clevernessC. kindnessD. politeness新人教版高三英语必修一Unit 4练习试题答案1-5 B C D A C 6-10 B D D D D 11-15A D D D D 16-20A D A C D21-25C A C A D 26-45 ACBDC BACDA CABDD BCABD46-51CDA DCB。

高中英语学习材料madeofjingetieji14-15学年新课标高一上学期1册Unit 4-5测试Class: Name: Marks: 满分（120）第一部分阅读理解(共两节, 满分40分)第一节(共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)AOne day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve (勇气) when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry, so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I have to pay?” “You don’t pay me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness,” she said.As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up.Years later that young woman became seriously ill and was sent to the big city where specialists were called in. When Dr. Howard Kelly heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. He recognized her at once. He determined to do his best to save her life.After a long struggle, the operation was successful. When the bill was sent to the young woman, she feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Suddenly, something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She began to read the words: paid in full with one glass of milk. Signed, Dr. Howard Kelly.1. Why did the boy lose his nerve?A. The young woman seemed very rich.B. He felt shy when seeing beautiful girls.C. He fell in love with the woman at first sight.D. He might feel ashamed and embarrassed.2. The woman’s kindness made the boy .A. regain his faith in God and mankindB. have the money to finish schoolC. become a famous doctorD. arrive at school in time3. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that Kelly .A. still loved the womanB. had a thankful heart to the womanC. felt surprised at the woman’s arrivalD. was the best doctor in the cityBIt was a day before I started school again after having the world’s best summer. I was scared standing at that bus stop, for I knew that after I set foot on that bus, my freedom would be gone for a long time. I never had friends at school because of my colored clothes I always wore. My parents always said that if you want to have friends, you have to be a friend. I did that, but it didn’t work.I sat in the cold air, my nose feeling more like a snowflake (雪花). Then, the bus slowly pulled up. The door opened, and I saw many eyes staring at me. I walked to the back of the bus. As I passed the other kids, they would laugh. The bus trip seemed to take forever before we reached the school. When we arrived, I walked to my classroom and sat at the desk in the very back of the classroom. It was n’t that I disliked school, but I wasn’t a big fan of the kids at school. I enjoyed listening to the teacher talk, but I didn’t like it when the bell rang for lunch. I hid in the crowd of kids, and walked to an empty table. I opened my lunch bag, and began to eat uncomfortably. A girl with long red hair came over to my table and sat down. I got scared, but she had a friendly smile on her face.“What’s your name?” she asked.“Rachael,” I whispered.“I am Monica,” she said. She kept talking to me, and I talke d to her a little bit.“No one likes me,” I said after a while of dead silence.“I do,” she replied. “I learned that after a while of being lonely you have to be friends with people that look lonely too. Then, no one will ever be lonely in this world,” she said. Ever since those words have been said to me, I have lots of true friends.4. While waiting at the bus stop, the writer .A. recalled her happy days in summerB. felt very cold in the heavy snowC. expected to meet her classmates againD. regretted for not being free at school5. It is implied in the passage that the writer .A. feared the time of having a breakB. was tired of going to schoolC. wasn’t fond of the lectures in classD. found the back of the room to be quiet6. According to the passage, at one time Monica was .A. activeB. lonelyC. shyD. selfish7. What did the writer learn in the end?A. A friend to everybody is a friend to nobody.B. A friend is never known till a man has need.C. Making friends with lonely people makes a happier world.D. We should share what we have with our friends.CThere was once a boy who liked nothing more in the world than to win. He loved winning at whatever it might be: f ootball, cards, video games... And because he couldn’t stand losing, he had become an expert in all kinds of tricks. He could play tricks in every situation without being noticed, even in video games or playing alone. He could win without ever being caught.He won so many times that everyone saw him as the champion. It meant that almost no one wanted to play with him. One person who did play with him was a poor boy. He was a bit younger. The champion really enjoyed himself by making the boy look foolish.But the champion ended up getting bored. He needed something more, so he decided to apply for the national video games championship, where he would find some competitors worthy of himself. At the championship he was eager to show his skills, but when he tried using all those tricks he knew from a thousand different games, none of them worked. The judges had prevented (阻止) any of the tricks from working.He felt embarrassed: he was a good player, but without his tricks, he couldn’t beat a single competitor. Finally, the judges announced the name of the champion. It was the poor boy whom he had always beaten!The boy realized that the poor boy had been cleverer than him. It hadn’t mattered to the poor boy if he lost or got a good beating, because what he was really doing was learning from each of his defeats. And from so much learning he had become a real master.8. Why could the boy manage to win at everything?A. Because he was good at playing tricks.B. Because he knew every situation well.C. Because he was cleverer than others.D. Because he had better skills than others.9. At the championship, .A. the judges praised the boy for his skillsB. the judges stopped the boy from cheatingC. the boy was quite proud of his excellent skillsD. the boy defeated all the other competitors easily10. How did the boy find the result of the championship?A. Reasonable.B. Surprising.C. Unfair.D. Encouraging.11. What can we learn from the experience of the poor boy?A. Pride goes before a fall.B. A good beginning is half done.C. Failure is the mother of success.D. Never judge a book by its cover.DHere’s something to think about the next time you ask your teacher for help: do schoolwork on your own can help you learn. According to a recent study, the more you struggle(努力) while you are learning new information, the better you can remember it later.It might surprise you. When teachers are presenting new information, they often give students lots of help. But a new study shows this may not be the best way to support learning. “Don’t be too quick to get help when learning something new,” education expert Manu Kapur said. “Try to work on it yourself even if it means trying different ways.”Kapur came up with the idea that struggling can lead to better learning. Then he tested it out on students in Singapore. He separated students into two groups. In the first group, students were asked to solve math problems with the teacher’s help. In the second group, students were asked to solv e the same problems by helping one another instead of getting help from the teacher.With the teacher’s help, students in the first group were able to find the correct answers. Students in the second group did not solve the problems correctly, but they did come up with a lot of good ideas.The students were then tested on what they had learned. The group without any help from a teacher scored much higher than the group who had help. Kapur said working to find the answers helped students understand the process (过程), not just the solution.Kapur’s advice for kids is to put a lot of effort into learning something new rather than going to your teacher for help. “Simply doing a little work or nothing at all won’t work,” says Kapur. “The struggle needs to be a real attempt to figure out (想出) or solve a problem in as many ways as possible.”12. Which of the following is the best way to learn according to the passage?A. Figure something out on your own.B. Ask teachers for help in time.C. Be given the solution to the problem.D. Pay little attention to the process.13. Kapur supported his idea by .A. showing causesB. describing an activityC. making a testD. introducing a method14. In the last paragraph, Kapur advised students to .A. make efforts to win help from othersB. use their head in an active wayC. make an attempt at something newD. work out every difficult problem15. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Raise your headB. Try your handsC. Stand on your own feetD. Work your mind第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright points crossing the computer screens. At the same time the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. To their horror,they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses(病毒)！Clearly all these computers had been infected by computer viruses.It is said that the computer viruses were made by a group of young men fond of playing tricks. They all had excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their intelligence. These kinds of computer viruses are named Jerusalem Viruses. These viruses can stay in computers for a long time. When the time comes they will attack(袭击)the computers by lowering the functions, damaging their normal programs or even getting rid of all the information.We now come to know that Jerusalem Viruses often attack computers on Friday and that they are spreading(传播)to a lot of computers. Among the countries that were attacked by computer viruses last year are Britain, Australia, Switzerland and the U.S. But till now, how to get rid of the terrible viruses remains a problem.4.When the viruses attack the computers, the computers will work .A. normallyB. slowlyC. fasterD. well5.The group of young men created the viruses to .A. damage the computersB. test their abilityC. tell people that they were intelligentD. play a trick on users of the computers6.According to the passage, computer viruses seem to .A. have been in nature for yearsB. stay in any computersC. be difficult to get rid of at presentD. be able to be got rid of in the near future7.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A.

Scientists are trying to find a way to get rid of the viruses.D. The Jerusalem Viruses are dangerous to human health.BTim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York—he in computers, she in special education.“Teaching means everything to us，” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire，”Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk，“as a reminder.”Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library .com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn't want to give the children rubbish，” says Linda. The books reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I've never heard of .”The Richters spend about $ 400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die，” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”8.What let Tim think seriously about the meaning of life?A. His health problem.B. His love for teaching.C. The influence of his wife.D. The news from the Web.9.What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?A. Give out brochures.B.

Unit 1 Section ⅣⅠ.阅读理解A(2014·重庆，阅读理解A篇)I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签 ) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed！” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me.I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬 ) under her covers, sobbing.Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in cleaning up and holding on.文章大意：本文主要讲述了自己如何与室友相处的经历。

APhoenix, Arizona, the USA was struck by a big sandstorm(沙尘暴) recently. It was a huge dust storm that struck Phoenixa little after 7:00 p.m. local time.Arizona has sandstorms particularly during the monsoon(季风) season which usually starts from mid-June until the end of September. However, this was the biggest. The cloud of dust turned day into night. Some trees were downed and gardens were destroyed and it cut off the power of thousands of local people in the area, but luckily no death happened. A number of people's pools became dirty with dust. People who lived in Phoenix for more than 40 years said that this was the first time they had experienced this huge dust storm. It could greatly influence people's health.The big dust cloud started in Tucson traveling north across the desert. The huge storm ran up to 60 miles per hour. It was more than 100 miles wide and a mile high. Besides Phoenix and nearby cities, the storm also reached Yuma County in southwestern Arizona. It reduced the visibility(能见度) in these areas, putting off the flights at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.The storm only takes place in Arizona, the Sahara Desert and areas of the Middle East, because of the dry environment and large amounts of sand. Because of the serious shortage of rain, there's a large possibility that the water is polluted because of the storm.1.In what season do sandstorms usually take place in Arizona?A.In fall and winter.B.In summer and fall.C.In winter and spring.D.In spring and summer.2.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.The storm.B.The wind.C.The desert.D.The state.3.Why was local people lucky after the big sandstorm happened?A.People's health was not influenced.B.It didn't do harm to people's gardens.C.All the local people in the area survived.D.The electricity was not affected at all.4.What can probably be the title of the passage?A.Phoenix, Arizona has more sandstormsB.Sandstorms do a great deal of harm to peopleC.We must do something to prevent sandstormsD.Phoenix, Arizona experienced a huge sandstormBA 9.0-magnitude earthquake off the Indonesian coast sent a wall of water racing toward Thailand, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. Lang was on the island of Phi Phi Don, just south of Phuket, Thailand, shopping on Main Street with her friend Rubina Wong, when suddenly everything changed. "People started running inland. From where we were, we could not see the beach so we had no idea what was going on," she said.Lang and Rubina started running inland in the same direction as everyone else, when she noticed water flooding into the island, but it was so strong and fast that she could no longer lift her feet to run. Rubina had gone down a side street. Lang never saw her alive again.Lang was stuck underwater between pieces of debris(碎片) with the surface just above her face. "The more I struggled(挣扎), the tighter I was stuck. I could not reach the surface. I thought I came here on my vacation to die, and then I got really annoyed," she said. "I must have blacked out because the next thing I remember is waking up underwater."The water was still and black. Lang looked up and could see that at the top, there was a small circle of light. She started swimming through the water and made it to the surface of the water. She pulled herself onto a floating door and could see that the whole island was flooded and a lot of buildings were gone. She could see a house not far away and a man on its roof. She encouraged herself to climb over the floating objects to the balcony(阳台) of the house. From there she saw the water start to slowly go back to the ocean.5.What was Lang doing when the tsunami happened?A.She was running in a race.B.She was playing on the beach.C.She was shopping in the street.D.She was looking for her friend.6.Why was Lang unable to run?A.There was a wall in the way.B.She feared she would get lost.C.She had to wait for her friend.D.The racing water was too powerful.7.What can we learn about Lang from Paragraph 3?A.She didn't want to struggle.B.She was trapped underwater.C.She didn't regret going on vacation.D.She kept awake all the time in the water.8.How did Lang manage to save herself?A.By calling for help.B.By hiding in a house.C.By climbing up a tall tree.D.By making use of floating objects.CWhat do you think of when you hear the word “drought”? Do you think of “dry” “hot” “dusty” “cracked(开裂的)earth” or even “no water”? If so, you’re on the right track!When some places are in drought, they may be dry, hot and dusty. Cracks may appear in the soil, and rivers, lakes, streams, and other sources of water may go dry. Other places in drought get some rain, but not as much as they usually receive during that season. Drought means that a place has less rain or snow than normal over a few months or even longer.Drought has many causes. It can be caused by not receiving rain or snow over a period of time. We learned in the discussions above about the water cycle and weather. The changes in the wind patterns that move clouds and moisture through the atmosphere can cause a place not to receive its normal amount of rain or snow over a long period of time.If you live in a place where most of the water you use comes from a river, a drought in your area can be caused by places upstream from you not receiving enough moisture. There would be less water in the river for you and other people who live along the river to use.People can also play a big role in a drought. If we use too much water during times of normal rainfall, we might not have enough water when a drought happens.9.What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic.B. To analyze the problem.C. To conclude the article.D. To put forward an argument.10.What will happen if a place is in drought?A. The weather will be dry, hot and windy.B. There won’t be any water left in rivers or lakes.C. There will be less rain or snow for quite a long time.D. The rainy season will be replaced by the snowy season.11.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “moisture” in Paragraph 3?A. Dust in the wind.B. Rain in the soil.C. Snow on the ground.D. Water in the air.12.What topics are discussed before the passage?A. The definition(定义) of drought.B. The water cycle and weather.C. The causes of drought.D. The influence of drought.DThe Horn of Africa was struck by billions of locusts(蝗虫). They flew through fields of crops at an amazing speed, killing crops in the process. The locusts crossed the Gulf of Aden and arrived in Somalia and Ethiopia. They were then found in Kenya and had become the worst disaster there in 70 years.The U.N. says the area is affected by lack of food, and it warns that the international community only has a small window of opportunity to prevent future disaster". "These things are always voracious," says Keith Cressman. A swarm(一大群) the size of Manhattan can, in a single day, eat the same amount of food as everyone in both New York and California, he says. Swarms of desert locusts more than three times the size of New York City have been seen in northeast Kenya.Experts know how to stop the locusts' spread, but say efforts have been prevented by a lack of resources because it's difficult to spray pesticide(喷洒农药) in conflict-racked(冲突肆虐的) places such as Somalia and Yemen. "We do have a chance to solve this problem in the bud, but that's not what we're doing at the moment," Mark Lowcock said. "We're running out of time."Desert locusts are known for their rapid reproduction and ability to move long distances with the wind. "This kind of insect has been around for a long time," Mark Lowcock said. "It has so many different survival ways...to just survive in some of the harshest conditions and remotest parts of the planet. But it has the great ability to take advantage of good conditions." It reproduces rapidly—every three months, and in suitable conditions, the population could increase by 400 times every six months.13.Where might locusts first appear?A.In Ethiopia.B.In Somalia.C.In Kenya.D.In the Gulf of Aden.14.What does the underlined word “voracious” mean?A.Expecting to fly.B.Wanting to eat.C.Being curious.D.Being cautious.15.Which might be the cause of the locusts' spread?A.Experts' unawareness of how to prevent the locusts' spread.ck of people to deal with locusts.C.The good living environment of the desert.D.Losing the chance to solve the locust problem in the bud.16.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.Desert locusts' ability to take advantage of good conditions.B.Desert locusts' long life on the earth.C.Desert locusts' ability to reproduce and survive.D.Desert locusts' different survival abilities.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

They are still changing it today. The Colorado Riverslowly cut down through stone to make the Grand Canyon(大峡谷)．Wind and rainstorm hit the land from time to time. Fires sometimes burn down forests and destroy the homes of wild animals. This happened in Yellowstone Park in 1988.Dead volcanic(火山) mountains such as Haleakala on Maui and Carter Lake in Oregon are beautiful to look at. But there are several active volcanoes in the US, especially along the Pacific Coast. There are also many earthquakes in this area. Scientists can do nothing to control earthquakes or volcanoes. This was shown clearly on May 18, 1980. At 8：32 that morning, Mount St. Helens in Washington state erupted(爆发). The top of the mountain was blown off.Over 60 people—campers, scientists, journalists, forest workers—were killed. Hundreds of square miles of forests were knocked down. In towns over 100 miles away, day suddenly became night. An ash cloud hid the sun for many hours. Townsand fields in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho were covered with dirty gray ash.Scientists knew that Mt St. Helens might erupt soon. But no one could say when. Scientists had asked people to move away because the volcano was becoming dangerous. But Harry R. Truman, 84, owned a small hotel in Mt St. Helens would not leave his home. Now it is covered with many feet of dirty ash.But slowly, life is returning to the dead area around the mountain. Grass and small plants are beginning to grow again. Deer and birds have been seen. The land will never be the same as it once was. Perhaps Mt St. Helens will erupt again. But this is all part of nature's pattern of change, and man has little power to control it.1．What is the best title of this passage?A．Wind, Water, Fire and IceB．Volcano's Beauty and DangerC．The Power of NatureD．Natural Force Shapes BeautifulLand of America2．There are several active volcanoes in the US, which mainly lie ________.A．along the Colorado RiverB．in Yellowstone ParkC．along the Pacific CoastD．in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho3．After the eruption of volcano, what makes the sky turn dark?A．The smoke.B．The clouds.C．The fog.D．The ash.4．The underl ined word “it” in the fifth paragraph means ________.A．the body of old HarryB．the place of Harry's homeC．the opening on top of Mt St. HelensD．the place where Harry probably died答案与解析：1．解析：标题概括题。
