Array (艾伦望远镜阵列)in Hat Creek,California.The telescopes were partly made possible by a gift of twenty-five million dollars from Paul Allen.The total cost of the project is already fifty million dollars.At present,there are 42 radio telescopes working at the Hat Creek observatory.The signals they receive are combined to create what is equal to a single,very large telescope.The telescope will be used to observe objects like exploding stars,black holes and other objects that are predicted but have not yet been observed.Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute says this is the first telescope whose main purpose is to search for signals from intelligent life in space.The SETI Institute is based in Mountain View,California.The organization supports the search for other life forms in the universe.What makes the Allen Telescope Array unusual is that it can collect and study information from a wide area of the sky.In addition,the 42 telescopes can study information about several projects at the same time.That means studies of large areas of the sky can be made faster than ever before.Some officials think the Allen Telescope Array will be completed in three more years.350 individual radio telescopes are planned.The new abilities of the Allen Telescope Array will make searching for stars similar to the sun much faster.An earlier search by SETI,Project Phoenix,studied about 800 stars to a distance of 240 light years.The project ended in 2004.With the Allen Telescope Array,astronomers hope to gather thousands of times more information in the search for life beyond our planet.56From this passage we know that ______.A.the 42 radio telescopes at Hat Greek observatory can work togetherB.the total cost of the project came from Paul AllenC.Hat Creek observatory can receive signals from all parts of the worldD.Hat Creek observatory is operated by an American named Paul Allen57Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A.The Allen Telescope Array takes much more room than former telescopes.B.The Allen Telescope Array is still being built at present in the United States.C.Another 42 radio telescopes will be fixed in the Allen Telescope Array.D.The SETI Institute is against the search for other life forms in the universe.58With the help of the Allen Telescope Array,______.A.astronomers can gather more information than before from other planetsB.humans will have more chances to live on other planets than beforeC.humans will be able to find more natural resources on other planetsD.scientists will be able to find more natural resources from other planets59What would be the best title of the text?A.The specialty of the Allen Telescope ArrayB.New telescope to search for life beyond earthC.Life in the universeD.The Center for the Study of Life in the UniverseBThe 20th century witnessed some of the most surprising achievements as far as the field of science and technology is concerned.Among_these,the_Indians_account_for_a_significant_share_of_the_pie.Srinivas Ramanujan (1887-1920)Ramanujan's great mathematical findings were beginning to be appreciated from 1915 to 1919.But his achievements were to be fully understood much later,well after his death in 1920.For example,his work on highly composite numbers (高合成数)with a large number of factors started a whole new line of researches in the theory of such numbers.Meghnad Saha (1893-1956)Meghnad Saha belonged to an outstanding group of Indian scientists whose contributions revolutionized diverse branches of knowledge and earned global recognition.He introduced the teaching of Nuclear Physics in Calcutta University at a time when the world had not even witnessed the impact of Nuclear Energy.Together with S.N. Bose,he made the first English translation of Einstein' s papers on relativity.C.V.Raman (1888-1970)Raman's discovery that molecules scatter light is known as the Raman effect.It is used to study the internal structure of the molecules.Early in his life,Raman carried out and published extensive research on acoustics (声学) and optics (光学).He received the Nobel Prize for his well-known Raman effect in 1930.Dr.Hargobind Khorana (1922-)Khorana shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 1968 with Marshall W.Nirenberg and Robert W.Holley for cracking (破译) the genetic code.His researches have opened up a new branch called genetic engineering in science.In 1970 he became the Alfred Sloan Professor of Biology and Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he continued his work.Apart from the Nobel Prize,Khorana has won many awards and honors for his achievement.60In which year did C.V.Raman win the Nobel Prize?A.1919. B.1920.C.1930. D.1968.61Whose contributions were NOT well received when he was alive?A.Srinivas Ramanujan's.B.Meghnad Saha's.C.C.V.Raman's.D.Dr.Hargobind Khorana's.62Dr.Hargobind Khorana mainly researched into______.A.mathematics B.relativityC.genetic code D.optics63What would be the best title for this passage?A.Indian scientific achievementsB.Indian contributions to the worldC.Famous Indian universities in historyD.Famous Indian scientists in the 20th centuryCBorn on February 9,1954 in Milwaukee,Wisconsin,Christopher Gardner never knew his father.He lived with his mother,Bettye Jean Gardner,whom he adored,and,when necessary,in foster homes(寄养家庭).Despite a life of hardship and emotional scarring,his mother provided him with strong “spiritual genetics”and taught him some of the greatest lessons of his life,which he follows to today.She convinced him that no matter where he came from,he could attain whatever goals he set for himself by saying,“If you want to,one day you could make a million dollars.” Gardner believed this to be fact,and knew he would have to find a career he could be passionate about,one that would allow him to “be worldclass at something”.Though he was hardworking and determined,a series of circumstances in the early 1980's left him homeless in San Francisco and the single guardian of his 2-year-old son.He was unwilling to give up his son and his dream of financial independence.Though without connections or a college degree,he still somehow earned a spot in a stockbroker(股票经纪人) training program.Often spending his nights in a church shelter or the bathroom at a train station in Oakland,Gardner ended up the only trainee offered a job at Dean Witter Reynolds in l981.Today,he's the CEO of Christopher Gardner International Holdings,a company he founded with offices in New York,Chicago,and San Francisco.The amazing story of his life was published as an autobiography,The Pursuit of Happiness,and was the inspiration for the movie of the same name starring Will Smith.64The underlined word “one” in the second paragraph refers to ______.A.the place where he livedB.the goal he set for himselfC.the fact to make a million dollarsD.his future career65From the third paragraph,we can learn that______.A.hardworking and determined people can also be defeated by bad luckB.Gardner did finish his stockbroker training programC.Gardner had to make a choice between his dream and his beloved sonD.it is impossible for one without a college degree to get a job as a stockbroker66Gardner's story can best be described as______.A.a rags-to-riches storyB.an orphan-to-millionaire storyC.a CEO-to-star storyD.a failure-to-success story67What influences Gardner's life most is likely to be his ______.A.unfortunate family B.emotional scarringC.foster homes D.single parentDImagine diving deep into a watery world filled with jellyfish with 12-foot-long tentacles(触须)and huge starfish,the size of plates.That's what a team of New Zealand scientists recently did.The 26 scientists spent five weeks studying sea life in the Ross Sea,off the coast of Antarctica.The survey produced more than 30 000 specimens,or samples,including more than a dozen fish and mollusk(软体动物)species that may be new to scientists.Using cameras and nets,the scientists explored all the way down to the 11 500-foot-deep seafloor.In some areas,they found fields of sea lilies.“They were abo ut 3 feet tall and bright yellow with large branching arms,so they looked a bit like underwater palm trees,”expedition scientist Sadie Mills told WR News.Some of the underwater creatures the scientists found are bigger than similar creatures in other parts of the world.The giant Starfish,for example,is 2 feet wide.“Creatures living in Ross Sea can grow to large sizes because of the very cold water in the Antarctic,” Mills says.“Cold water has a higher concentration (含量) of oxygen than warmer oceans,which allows a slow but constant growth rate.” There are also fewer creatures that eat other animals.That may let the Antarctic creatures live longer,giving them more time to grow.The scientists hope the findings will teach people more about Antarctica.“These r esults contribute to our understanding of how the whole ecosystem of this area is connected,from tiny bacteria right through to large whales,” says expedition scientist Niki Davey.68Which of the following descriptions about sea lilies is TRUE according to the passage?A.They have 12-foot-long tentacles.B.They are 3 feet tall with large branches.C.They are 2 feet wide.D.They are the size of big plates.69Creatures living in Ross Sea are bigger because______.A.water there is cold and full of oxygenB.they need less oxygen in cold waterC.they have no natural enemies thereD.they feed on other ocean animals70Through the exploration,scientists intended to______.A.find out the number of sea creatures living in AntarcticaB.search for new species in the waters of AntarcticaC.know the relationships between creatures in AntarcticaD.explore Antarctica for more natural resources71Which of the following about the research is TRUE?A.It's done by more than 20 scientists in less than a month.B.It's done in the deep sea.C.It discovered 30 000 new species.D.It focused on discovery of animals.EScientists have created a “humanlike robot” that can dance and do the housework.“Mahru”has been developed to imitate humans and can move its lips,eyebrows and pupil (瞳孔).The machine can also move its upper and lower body freely and automatically ( 自动地) stop itself when walking.In addition,it has been programmed to give out two kinds of pleasant smells to match its emotions.The 1.5m tall robot was produced by researchers at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and was the first South Korean-developed machine of its kind.“‘Mahru’will open the way for the commercial use of humanoid robots doing housework,”You BumJae,leader of the development research team,said,“‘Mahru’can dance while walking on its legs and is able to work in place of a human.”Through an advanced motion capture system,“Mahru” can follow a variety of human movements and move its hands freely enough to deal with any obstacles that may get in its way when walking.State-funded KIST showed the robot during a presentation at its head office in Seoul.People here were treated to an entertaining demonstration which saw the robot show off the full range of its skills,most notably a series of dance moves.The research team added that they had designed another “Mahru”,this time with sensors (传感器)allowing it to distinguish between faces and objects.The showing of “Mahru” came a week after researchers in Japan said they had created the “most humanlike”robot in the world.A team at robotics department of Osaka University in Japan claimed that “robogirl”,Repliee R-Ⅰ,“looks,moves and interacts (相互作用) like a human,and has silicone (硅胶) skin that feels almost human to the touch.”72“Mahru” made by KIST ca n do the following things EXCEPT______.A.expressing certain feelings through smellsB.moving its body freelyC.stopping automatically when walkingD.dancing with other human-like robots73According to what You Bum-Jae said in Paragraph 4,his research team wants to______.A.help robots with doing houseworkB.show its scientific powerC.make “Mahru” offer more funD.explore the commercial use of “Mahru”74When “Mahru” meets something in its way,it will be likely to ______.A.go around itB.turn back quicklyC.deal with it using its handsD.ask humans for help75According to the last paragraph,Repliee R-I______.A.is another “Mahru”B.was made by KISTC.has skin feeling similar to humans'D.looks like a boyⅤ.短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)I'm writing to ask you

单元质量检测(三)(时间:100分钟满分:120分)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)ABelow are three common, researchbacked Facebook behavior that people find offputting (令人苦恼的).You may want to think twice before posting a dozen photos of your baby niece taking her first step. In one study, researchers looked at the Facebook behavior of about 500 people around age 24. They asked them to fill out questionnaires about the quality of their relationships with different people in their lives. Then they asked participants to indicate how often those people posted everything from selfies (自拍照), to family photos, to pictures of friends on Facebook. Two interesting findings appeared. First, people tend to have less supportive, intimate (亲热的) relationships with family members when they post lots of photos of friends. Second, people tend to have less supportive, intimate relationships with friends when they post lots of photos of family.Consider taking the time to cut down your Facebook friend list —or to add some more connections if that list looks short. Research suggests there are perils to have too many or too few friends. In one study, researchers asked about 150 college students to look at fictional Facebook profiles and decide how much they liked the profiles' owners. Results showed that the “sweet spot” for likability was about 300 friends. Likability ratings were lowest when a profile owner had only about 100 friends.It doesn't matter how gorgeous you are — it's somewhat awkward to post a profile photo in which there's barely any space between your face and the camera. In one small study, 45 participants looked at grayscale photos of 18 unfamiliar white men, which were displayed on a computer. They were asked to rate each person on trustworthiness, competence, and attractiveness. Results showed that faces photographed from within what the researchers call “personal space” (45 centimeters, or about 1.5 feet) were rated lower on all measures than faces photographed from at least 135 centimeters, or about 4.5 feet, away.1.How did the researchers arrive at their findings in the study mentioned in Paragraph 2?A.By doing a survey.B.By doing experiments.C.By referring to former data.D.By looking at Facebook profiles.2.What did the study in Paragraph 2 show?A.People dislike looking at photos of babies.B.Intimate relationships don't exist on Facebook.C.Facebook users don't like sharing too many photos.D.Facebook users don't like those who share too many photos.3.The underlined word “perils” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”A.efforts B.causesC.dangers D.advantages4.On Facebook, people most probably favor those whose number of Facebook friends is ________.A.under 100B.between 100 and 300C.over 300D.between 100 and 200BImagine passenger pigeons (旅鸽) flying the skies over the United States. See Tasmanian tigers running through the Great Australian Desert, Caribbean monk seals swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, and the dodo walking around the islands of the Indian Ocean. Can't picture it? That's because all of these animals are extinct for now.In the past few weeks, the phrase “deextinction” has risen in the scientific community. Thanks to recent developments in genetic research, researchers are now able to bring extinct species back to life. At a Technology, Entertainment, and Design (TED) Talk in Washington D.C. last week, a team of scientists suggested a wide variety of species that can be revived (恢复).Sounds impossible? But, surprisingly, the technology needed to bring these animals back already exists. In 2000, the Pyrenean ibex, a goat that lived in the French Pyrenees, died out, but in 2003 scientists were able to create a clone from a live tissue sample taken before the goat's disappearance. Unfortunately, the clone only lived for seven minutes, but the experiment opened the door for bringing back extinct species.But deextinction still faces many challenges. One of the biggest challenges is where to put them. If we are going to bring these extinct species back to life, what are we going to do with them? Will they go into zoos, or should we offer them the areas in which they once existed? More importantly, do their habitats still exist in the same manner as in the time they went extinct? Many species inthe 19th and 20th centuries went extinct due to rapid habitat change, so if we bring them back, there is no guarantee they would exist again in today's world.What's more, bringing extinct species back to life may lessen the importance of our current wildlife conservation.Isn't it more important to focus on conserving existing species? Why bother with extinct species when there are so many living ones that need our help now?5.Through deextinction, scientists can________.A.find the reasons for extinctionB.draw pictures of extinct animalsC.create many new species of animalsD.bring back animals that have died out6.The author mentions the cloning of the Pyrenean ibex to ________.A.explain how cloning technology worksB.explain why clones live very short livesC.show deextinction is technically possibleD.show many animals are in danger of extinction7.According to Paragraph 4, if extinct animals are revived, they________.A.will be a new threat to humansB.may become extinct once againC.can live very well in today's worldD.will help keep the balance of nature8.What is the author's attitude to deextinction?A.Tolerant. B.Uncaring.C.Doubtful. D.Disapproving.CClothes can make phone calls, play music, dial your pal's number, operate your computer? This is not a fantasy. A British company, called Electrotextiles, has created clothes that have a mind of their own! Scientists, working for the company, have invented a fabric (织物) that can be mixed with electronic materials to create intelligent clothing.If you think the wearer has to carry wires, think again.These clothes are wirefree, soft to touch and washable! Like any electronic devices, these hightech clothes have to be powered.At present, a tiny ninevolt battery serves the purpose.But the researchers hope that in the near future, the clothes will produce electricity by using body heat.These clothes are 100 percent shockproof (抗震的), they say.The Electrotextiles team has also created the world's first cloth keyboard.This keyboard can be sewn into your trousers or skirts.To use this device, you will have to sit down and tap on your lap! These “laptap” devices are all set to take over laptop computers!Another useful garment is the shirtcummobile phone.This handy invention enables drivers to chat comfortably — with both hands on the wheel! Other popular electronic wear includes the denim jacket (牛仔夹克) and the electronic skijacket with a builtin heater.The skijacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite.This technology is known as global positioning and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids.Having completed the cloth keyboard, scientists have already started work on a new project —a necktie that can be used as a computer's mouse.What next? Do you have any ideas?9.The first sentence of the passage is designed to ________.A.tell us technology is developing fastB.get the readers interested in the topicC.make us believe in the author's ideaD.make us have a dream for the future10.Which of the following is TRUE about an electronic cloth?A.We can see wires in it.B.It can be washed.C.It is made of common cloth.D.It is still a fantasy.11.According to the passage, which of the following has come true?A.Using body heat to produce electricity.B.A necktie acting as a computer mouse.C.Cloth keyboard.D.Skirt computer.DWhen our second child was born, Jim and I thought she was perfect, but the doctor pointed out that her feet were turned inward. “Left uncorrected, it would be a problem,” he told us.We decided to do anything we could to help our baby.When she was only two weeks old, I brought her back to the doctor, just as he had directed, and the doctor put her tiny feet into casts (模子), her precious baby toes just barely visible.Because she was growing, I had to take her back to the doctor every two weeks to have each foot recast.Eventually the casting was finished and it was time for corrective shoes and bars.Jim and I watched with hope and concern as she struggled to walk.Those first, awkward (笨拙的) steps made us so proud.By the time she entered preschool, her steps had appeared quite normal.Encouraged by her progress, weexpected her to become much stronger.When she turned six, we persuaded her to attend skating lessons and soon she was very good.Of course, she had to work hard at every new movement, but she loved the ice and her dedication paid off. At fifteen, she competed in both pair skating and the ladies' single skating at the 1988 World Junior Championships in Australia, winning both events! At the World Championships in 1991, she won the ladies' single skating.Then we found ourselves filled with love and admiration in France, at the 1992 Winter Olympics, as our daughter, Kristi Yamaguchi won the gold medal.I thought back to the early years of challenge for Kristi.During those years, we didn't expect gold medals and professional career ahead of her.We respected her strength and hard work.In our eyes, Kristi had always walked in the life with the grace (美丽) of a true champion.12.According to the first paragraph, all the followings are true EXCEPT that ________.A.Jim is the author's husbandB.the author's second child is femaleC.the author's second child's feet were normalD.the author's second child's feet were unusual13.When the author's daughter went to preschool, ________.A.she tried to learn to walkB.she could not walk at allC.she walked with other's helpD.she seemed to walk normally14.The author's daughter won the gold medal in the Olympic Games at the age of________.A.19 B.16C.18 D.1515.From this passage, we can know that the author was very ________.A.unlucky and sad B.kind and helpfulC.happy and proud D.anxious and hopelessⅡ.任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Benefits of studying abroadStudying abroad may be one of the most beneficial experiences for a college student.

What we all know, a good learningenvironment is of greatly importance if we want to study English well. Classes teaching in English provide students for a better environment. When English is an only language in class, students will have more opportunity to practise listening and speaking. However, there were problems with this method. Sometimes we may find difficult to follow the teacher and some slow learners may even give up learn English. In spite of these difficulties, but I believe practice makes perfect. With enough practice, we can overcome the difficulties and benefit from English classes in the long run.Ⅵ.书面表达(满分25分)请依据下面的新闻报道写一篇100词左右的文章,谈谈这件事情以及你的看法。

Already today, more than half a century later, as computers are liberating us from more and more of the everyday tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less noticeable but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are unwilling to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they hardly knew that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply fail to work.Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong. Questioning and regular double-checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute (替代品)for thinking and reasoning skills.36.What is the main purpose of this passage?A) To look back to the early days of computers.B) To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.C) To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.D) To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.37.According to the passage, the worry about computers in earlier days was that they might ________.A) lead us into unknown future B) be quite widespreadC) take control of the world D) take over everyday task38. The writer seems to be advising those dealing with computers to ________.A) be reasonably doubtful about them B) check all their answersC) replace them for basic thinking D) use them for business purposes only39.An “internal computer” is ________.A) a computer used entirely by one company for its own problemsB) a person’s store of knowledge and the ability to use itC) the most up-to-date in-house computer a company can buyD) a computer from the starting stage which is very dependableBJohn had an accident while driving to town one day. He had his three ribs (肋骨) broken and Tally, his best friend, had one leg broken. With their car damaged and no one coming to their help, they had to foot for ten miles to the town hospital.“How have you got here all by yourself?” said the doctor when he saw John in hospital. “You have to stay in hospital at once,” he said, “but the dog can’t. It must leave the hospital. Dogs are not allowed here.”“Please help my dog, doctor, she was hurt and she also needs a doctor!” John said eagerly, “or I’ll leave with my dog.” He added. He took up his coat and was ready to leave.“You must be mad!” the doctor shouted, “You are too ill to go out!” “Then you must take my dog.” John said, touching the dog’s nose, and went on. “This old dog has followed me through good times and bad times. Mostly bad times – watched me over for weeks when I was seriously ill, and once saved me from a burning house and another time she saved me from flood …How can I leave her alone?”John said and fainted (晕倒). When he came to, he looked around, “Where’s my dog?” he asked eagerly. “Don’t worry,” the nurse answered, “It’s in the yard. We have done something to help it.”40.How did John get to the hospital?A. Tally helped him there.B. He drove there.C. Someone sent him there.D. He walked there.41. John loved Tally so much, because ________.A. Tally brought the doctor to him after the accident.B. Tally saved his life in this car accident.C. Tally never left him when times were hard for him.D. Tally always helped other people besides his owner/42. At last the doctor _____________.A. kept John in hospital but let Tally leaveB. kept both John and Tally in hospitalC. kept neither John nor Tally in hospitalD. kept Tally in hospital after John died43. By saying “How have you got here all by yourself?” the doctor meant that _____.A. he was sorry that John really got to the hospital all by himselfB. he was surprised to know John came to the hospital all by himselfC. h e was angry with John’s coming to the hospital all by himselfD. he was happy to see John was there in hospital all by himself44. Which of the following statement is true?A. Tally is John’s classmateB. John’s words moved doctor and nurses, so they accep ted TallyC. John pretended to faintD. No one is willing to help John because of Tally, so they had to foot for ten miles.CIs there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth,” wise people say. You can’t be goo d at your studies or work well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor.The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse(脉搏), test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chestX-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story.An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”45. The writer thinks that _____.A. health is more important than wealthB. work is as important as studiesC. medicine is more important than pleasureD. nothing is more important than money46. What advice did the doctor NOT give the old man?A. Take long walks.B. Smoke more than one cigarette a day.C. Eat a lot of meat. D.Drink two glasses of red wine every day.47. The underlined part “he had never felt a healthier man” means “______”.A. he was feeling better than everB. he wasn’t a healthy manC. he was feeling worse than beforeD. he will be well again48. From the last sentence of the passage, we can learn ______.A. the man was a heavy smoker before seeing the doctorB. the man didn’t smoke so much before seeing the doctorC. the man didn’t smoke before seeing the doctorD. the man began to learn to smoke before seeing the doctorD"Depend on yourself" is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.There have been many men in history. But many of them were very poor in childhood, and no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few. They could not depend upon themselves for an education. They saw how it was and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own way till they became well known.One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, "I can not make worthy men of you, but I can help make men of yourself."Some young men don't try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings. Theycan never gain achievement(成就) unless they see their weak points and change their course. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts.49. Which of the following titles fits this article best?A. What Nature Says to Every Man.B. How to Be Famous.C. Men Must Help Each Other.D. Depend on Yourself.50. According to the famous teacher in England, a teacher can________.A. make his pupils worthy menB. help his pupils find a way to be famousC. help his pupils make themselves useful menD. make his pupils men of strength and courage51. From this article we can learn the writer ________.A. sings highly praise for parents and teachersB. is a man of strong characterC. thinks highly of those who are struggling or successD. feels it the most important of all to accept the advice of others单元测试参考答案I单项填空1-5 CBDAB 6-10 DABBB 11-15 BBADCII. 完形填空16 C 17 D 18 C 19 A 20 B 21 B 22 D 23 A 24 B 25 B 26 A 27 D 28 D29 C 30 B 31 A 32 D 33 A 34 C 35 DIII. 阅读理解36 D 37 C 38 A 39 B 40 D 41 C 42 B 43 B 44 B 45 A 46 B 47A48 C 49 D 50 C 51 C。
单元质量检测(二)(时间:100分钟满分:120分)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AA delightfullooking robot called MEDi, or Medicine and Engineering Designing Intelligence, is being used to help make doctors' visits less painful.The Alberta Children's Hospital in Canada purchased four of the MEDi robots earlier this year. The bionic (仿生学的) friends hang out with children in the waiting room and also accompany them during different procedures, according to RxRobots, the group that created MEDi. The MEDi's purpose is to help children cope with pain and reduce their stress. The robots have produced real results. According to a study done at the hospital, kids who interact with a MEDi robot reportedly experience 50 percent less pain during medical procedures than those who do not. “Parents told us that when they left the hospital, their children said almost nothing about the needle and told everyone about the robot,”Tanya Beran, founder and chief scientific officer at RxRobots, told CNBC of MEDi's success at the children's hospital.T he twofoottall robots can relieve patients' anxiety by telling stories or playing games with the kids. MEDi robots are also programmed to speak several different languages, and are equipped with facial recognition capabilities (力量). The robots can interact with the children during various types of procedures like blood tests. Not only do the robots comfort the children, but they also make the kids more willing to work with medical staff.“Our research shows that when children interact with MEDi robots, they are more cooperative in the procedure,” Beran said. “This means that the procedure is completed more quickly, resulting in greater health care efficiency (效率).” Beran said that MEDi robots are also a hit with parents. “Knowing that there is somet hing out there that eases the stress, anxiety and sometimes traumatic (创伤的) experiences, is great,” Sheila Sousa, the mother of an 8yearold patient said.1.MEDi robots are mainly used to ________.A.help foreign patients communicate with doctorsB.assist doctors in completing medical proceduresC.take kids to the hospital if their parents are busyD.make kids feel less pain during medical procedures2.The underlined word “relieve” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.A.cause B.reduceC.increase D.remove3.We can learn from the passage that MEDi ________.A.is badlookingB.is one foot tallC.can recognize facesD.can only speak English4.Where does the passage probably come from?A.A travel guide.B.A science magazine.C.A book review.D.A storybook.BEach year about 250,000 Americans study in other countries. Some studyabroad programs are trying harder to get students to learn about the local culture. One student, on his first morning in Beijing, was brought to a distant part of the city. He received money and instructions on how to get back. It took some time but he succeeded.William Finlay heads the Sociology Department at the University of Georgia in the United States. He says challenges like this help students experience another culture.In 2008, Professor Finlay started a program with South Africa's Stellenbosch University. The program combines traditional c lassroom learning with community involvement through a nongovernmental organization. He says: “We've been working with a particular nongovernmental organization in the town and we do two things: we run a number of creches (托儿所), which are basically day care centers for children whose parents are working, and the library in the community where there are some computers. Our students typically work either with the little kids in the day care centers or they work in the library and teach very basic computer s kills to mostly young adults.”Hillary Kinsey is studying international affairs. She spent three weeks in the Stellenbosch program. She says it was interesting to learn the history of the area and the recent development. When Ms Kinsey returned from South Africa recently, she and other students in the program created a nonprofit organization called Ubunto, whose goal is to help improve education and development in South Africa.Mark Lenhart is the executive director of CET Academic Programs. Each year, that company places more than 1,000 students in semester and summer study programs.The programs are in China, Jordan, the Czech Republic and other countries. He says: “In all of our locations, we place students with local roommates.” Students gain from that, he says, but the experience is not always easy. He says:“Not just in terms of language learning, but they also find the local culture can present challenges,and perhaps misunderstandings. They have to adjust to local life. It's no longer OK just to have a little Chinese, for instance. If students are studying Chinese, they want to come home from a program like this fluent in Chinese. And this will enable students to become more employable when they graduate.”5.The student was taken to a distant part of Beijing to ________.A.practice speaking ChineseB.experience Chinese cultureC.learn to use Chinese moneyD.fetch some money and instructions6.What would the students in the Stellenbosch program do?A.They would work in the library as a librarian.B.They would teach basic computer skills to little kids.C.They would take care of little kids in the day care centers.D.They would study computer skills together with young adults in the library.7.From Paragraph 4 we can learn that Hillary Kinsey________.A.is willing to help improve education and development in South AfricaB.knows everything about the history and recent development of South AfricaC.created a nonprofit organization to learn more about South Africa's cultureD.created a nonprofit organization to improve America's education and development8.Which of the following would Mark Lenhart most probably agree with?A.International students can easily get along well with their local roommates and benefit from this experience.B.It is OK for international students to communicate in simple Chinese with the help of body language.C.Speaking a foreign language fluently makes international students find jobs more easily.D.International students should choose students from the same culture as their roommates.CFor many years, people have been searching for a way to linger longer beneath the sea. Today, we have much more advanced equipment to allow people to stay underwater for long periods of time. Scuba and snuba are two ways that people can “breathe” underwater.Scuba and snuba divers both breathe air from tanks. Tubes from the tank deliver air to the diver's mouthpiece. The difference between these two methods is where the tank is located. A scuba diver carries the tank on his or her back while swimming. By carrying the air supply, the scuba diver swims freely and can go hundreds of feet deep. With snuba, the swimmer does not wear the air tank. Instead, the tank stays on a raft (筏子) on the water's surface. A twentyfoot tube brings the air from the raft tank to the swimmer's mouthpiece. The snuba swimmer can breathe underwater, but he or she is always attached to the raft and can only swim twenty feet deep.A scuba diver has the underwater freedom, but that freedom comes with a cost. Scuba divers carry equipment that weighs 60 to 75 pounds. Learning how to use this equipment requires a lot of training.A diver begins learning how to use the equipment in a pool, then moves on to open water. When a diver is hundreds of feet deep, it is impossible to swim to the surface quickly. Scuba divers must learn what to do in an emergency.Snuba equipment, on the other hand, is very light. The swimmer only needs to wear a mask, the special snuba mouthpiece, a small weight belt, and a harness to connect the airline to the raft. Swimmers can learn snuba quickly. Snuba swimmers are never more than twenty feet deep, so they can easily swim to the surface in an emergency.Because of all the equipment and training, you must be 15 years old in order to scuba dive. Snuba, on the other hand can be done by kids as young as four years old! Snuba is done mainly for fun. Scuba, however, is not done simply for recreation. Scuba divers repair ships and bridges, do underwater research, take photos, and even film movies underwater.9.The tanks used in scuba and snuba diving ________.A.are of different shapesB.contain different thingsC.serve the same purposesD.are always carried by the diver10.It can be inferred from Paragraphs 3-4 that ________.A.scuba diving involves more risks than snubaB.snuba divers seldom practice in open waterC.snuba divers are freer than scuba diversD.scuba diving costs a lot of money11.According to the last paragraph, scuba diving________.A.is done as a professionB.is done mostly for entertainmentC.can be practiced by even small kidsD.is shown in lots of movies12.This text is organized in the pattern of ________.A.time and eventsB.comparison and contrastC.cause and effectD.definition and classificationDScientific discoveries have changed man's life a great deal during the past century.First of all, they have greatly improved material wellbeing in several areas of life.In the field of medicine, cures for life threatening diseases have enabled people to live longer.In communication, the telephone and email have made it possible for us to communicate with anyone in the world without leaving our homes or offices.Advances in transportation allow businessmen to fly across the ocean in the morning and return home the same evening.Space technology has put men on the moon.More efficient ways of using available resources, such as coal and solar power, have been explored.Scientific discoveries have also changed man's moral atmosphere.Ethical (伦理的) issues are raised by these discoveries.Should we keep a terminally ill person alive through drugs and machines or should we allow him to die in dignity? With advances in transportation has come the problem of pollution for nearly every major city in the world.If cities become uninhabitable, then such technical advances may come with too great a price to pay. Many people also question the wisdom of sending men to the moon when there are urgent problems that have not been solved on earth.During future years, increasing attention must be given to the moral as well as the practical applications of science.13.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Scientific discoveries have only changed man's moral atmosphere.B.Scientific discoveries have only chang ed man's material wellbeing.C.Scientific discoveries have helped people find efficient ways of using available resources.D.Men are sent to the moon because there are urgent problems that have not been solved on earth.14.At the end of the passage the author says that increasing attention must be given to ________.A.the moral applications of scienceB.the practical applications of scienceC.urgent problems on the earthD.both A and B15.The best title for the passage is ________.A.Science discoveriesB.Science and daily lifeC.Advances in transportationD.City pollutionⅡ.任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Why People Who Take Notes All the Time AreMore Likely to Be SuccessfulNotetaking is an essential skill in many areas of work and study. But is notetaking really useful in helping us to understand, remember, and retrieve (重新获得) essential points when we most need them? 16.________ Here are four reasons notetakers are on the fast track to success:17.________ The action of writing information down is a great way to get fully involved in the learning process. Notetakers are much more actively involved because they are processing the information and getting the essential facts down.They understand the importance of remembering the information. Students need to remember all relevant information when faced with an exam question. A speaker may not have their notes at hand but will still have a better chance of actually remembering the facts if they have spared the time to prepare notes. 18.________ Howe in 1970 found that students who had taken notes were seven times more likely to remember facts a week later than those who had not.They do not rely on getting others' notes. Lots of students love asking the lecturers for a copy of their notes and with PowerPoint and other software, this can be easily done. 19.________ These students are not going to be very successful in school if they do this all the time.They know that taking notes helps them achieve their goals. 20.________ There are quite a few studies not showing that the actual process of taking notes helps people to boost (推动) their learning and also achieve their goals. Researchers at the Dominican University of California have discovered that writing down goals and sharing them are crucial (至关重要的) in helping people to achieve their aims.A.Research backs this up.B.They are actively learning.C.This is no accident or coincidence.D.They know how to prepare for notetaking.E.But the results for the students are not very good.F.Naturally, it does depend a lot on the subject matter.G.The answer is yes, although individual styles and methods may vary.Ⅲ.完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)Jack London (1876-1916) was an American writer and author of The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and numerous other novels.Financial difficulties __21__ Jack London to leave grammar school and find work to __22__ hisfamily.

In the past two and a half years, our school had organized many activities. What impressed me best was an activity called “Learning to Farm”. In an autumn afternoon, we were sent to a farm which we learned to plant potatoes. Having been in the city for so a long time, we were so happy to go to the countryside. After divided into three groups, we started to work. Some students cut potatoes into pieces, some dug holes, and the others put the pieces of potatoes into the hole, put the earth back and pushed them down hard. We continued doing that until all the work was done. Although we were exhausted, but we felt fulfilled on our way back home.Ⅵ.书面表达(满分25分)请依据下面的表格以100词左右的英文短文介绍史蒂芬·威廉·霍金(Stephen William Hawking)。

Western and Korean male friends usually greet with both a slight bow and shaking hands. When shaking hands, both hands are sometimes used. Women usually do not shake hands, especially with men, but usually just nod lightly. The senior person offers to shake hands first, but the junior person bows first.Avoid hugging and kissing when greeting. Long direct eye contact is considered impolite. When saying good bye, the traditional gesture is the bow.Touching GesturesGenerally speaking, the Koreans are not a touching society. So avoid touching or any long form of body contact.You seldom see public display of affection. On the other hand, you may note people of the same sex walking handinhand, which is simply a gesture of friendship. Don't worry about a bit of pushing in stores or when groups board public buses or trains. Apologies are neither offered nor expected.Beckoning GesturesThe open hand or the middle finger is used for pointing: To beckon (招手) someone, the palm (手掌) faces downward and the fingers are moved. Using the arm and hand up, with palm toward the face, is used only for calling dogs or children.Other GesturesRespect is always shown to elderly people, so it is common to stand up when a person, especially an elderly man enters the room. However, an elder may not give up a seat for a young boy. Men generally have priority (特权) in Korea: go through a door first, walk ahead of women, and women may help them with their coats.1.The text is mainly about ________.A.politeness of KoreaB.customs in KoreaC.body languages in KoreaD.relations between koreans2.How does a westerner usually greet his male Korean friend?A.With bowing.B.With hugging and kissing.C.With shaking hands.D.With a slight bow and shaking hands.3.From the first part of the text we can know that ________.A.shaking hands is a must for visitorsB.kissing each other is polite when two people meetC.long direct eye contact should be avoidedD.the old often nod towards the young4.According to the text, in Korea ________.A.you can always hear people say “Lady first”B.people often show affection in public placesC.it is common for boys to walk handinhand with girlsD.there's no need to say sorry when you push others in storesBNot everyone can become a professional basketball or football player. Not everyone, especially youth living in the city, has access to large green fields. But kids still want to compete. So all over America, young people started skateboarding and bicycling. This is where the Extreme Games, or XGames, started.The XGames are beautiful to watch. They simply defy gravity. Riders fly down ramps on skateboards and do crazy tricks in the air. The X-Games have become so popular that this year BMX cycling is the newest sport in the Beijing Olympics. You will see competitors descend a 25-foot (8 meters) ramp, the highest in the world, as they race through a wild obstacle course.But the XGames are more than sports. They have become a culture. Fans of the XGames have rejected the mainstream. They wear certain clothes, listen to different music and live life to the fullest.It is not unusual to see young people riding a skateboard or showing off their cycling tricks in a park. Extreme sports arrived in China in the late 1990s. The Chinese Extreme Sports Association was established in 2004.Shanghai will hold the Asian XGames at the end of April. Check them out and maybe you'll find a new sport you love.5.According to the passage we know that ________.A.all the young people can have access to large green fieldsB.not all the young people like playing sportsC.only young people living in the countryside have access to large green fieldsD.not all the people can become a professional basketball player6.The Extreme Games starts from ________.A.people's workingB.the countryside lifeC.people's different sports interestD.large green fields7.The Extreme Games is popular with a lot of people because of the factors EXCEPT that ________.A.it is a very exciting sportB.it makes people more confidentC.it is quite wonderfulD.it is only sport for both city people and country people8.That we often see some young people wearing all kinds of clothes, listening to music and riding a skateboard or showing off their cycling tricks shows the Extreme Games ________.A.have come to China for a long timeB.have become a fashionable cultureC.have become new sportsD.have become the best way to keep fitCThere is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody's second language. It is easy to understand, although you can't hear it. It is sign language.When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone, you are saying “I want to be friendly”,but you are not using speech. You are using sign language. When you raise your hand in class, you are saying “Please a sk me. I think I know the correct answer”. Babies who can't talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands. He is using sign language.Many years ago, a French priest, Charles Michel de Epee, became interested in education for deaf people. He invented a finger alphabet (字母表). It is still in use. People can make the sign for letters and spell words with their hands, and deaf people can read and understand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries. The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C.Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The newsreader tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen.The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don't spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwich.They can make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor's mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations under water.How many hand signs do you use every day?9.Which of the following about sign language is TRUE?A.It is a special language used in a few countries in the world.B.It is a way to express one's ideas without words.C.It is only used by the deaf.D.It can be heard.10.If you want to express the idea that “I am very friendly” to someone, you will ________.A.raise your handB.put one hand onto the otherC.smile to the personD.make a roof with your hands11.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Hand signs instead of finger signs are used every day.B.There are schools, colleges and universities for the deaf in the USA.C.The French priest Charles invented sign language.D.Even babies are using sign language.12.The passage is mainly about ________.A.an introduction to sign languageB.an introduction to hand languageC.a famous priest in FranceD.how to use sign languageDFor the past two years, my teaching partner and I have set up a Poetry Cafe at our school and invited parents and other special guests to come and hear students recite their favorite poems aloud. After the students study poetry in their reading workshop and write poetry in their writing workshop for a month, we celebrate their finished pieces by opening the Poetry Cafe and having students invite their parents and other family members to an evening event.We transform a common area of our school into our Poetry Cafe. We create a stage with a microphone for the student readers, serve snacks and coffee, and turn the lights down to set the mood. Students are asked to wear black shirts and jeans to honor the “beatnik culture”of the 1950s and early 1960s, when poetry readings at small coffee shops were popular.Before planning the event, you will need to determine which part of your school would be the best place to set up a cafe. A regular classroom may not be large enough to seat all of the guests, but you do not want to pick a place (such as a gym or a dining hall) that is so large that it loses the feeling of a crowded coffee shop, either. We use a group discussion area in our building.One at a time, we call the students' names. They take their place on the stage and read their poems aloud. Instead of clapping at the end of each poem, guests are asked to snap (打响指) their fingers in honor of the true “beatnik culture”. Each student reads two poems written by himself/herself and one poem by a n author he/she studied in the poetry workshop.Throughout the student readings we have “open mic” breaks when parents and other family members can read aloud their own poems or read a poem from a favorite author or book. The students love it!13.The Poetry Cafe is opened ________.A.only for students who have a special interest in poetryB.to teach students how to write poemsC.as a way to improve parentchild relationshipsD.to give students a chance to show what they have learnt about poetry14.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the “beatnik culture”?A.It is still very popular now.B.Black shirts and jeans are considered as its features.C.It seldom took place at coffee shops.D.It forbade snapping one's fingers.15.Which of the following things are done at the Poetry Cafe?①Students write new poems on the spot.②Parents read their favorite poems.③Students give all kinds of performances.④Members enjoy snacks and coffee.A.①②B.①③C.②③D.②④Ⅱ.任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Don't you just love ice skating every winter?
