单元质量检测(一)(时间：100分钟满分：120分本卷共4页)AIt was the first snow of winter —an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers.Up until now，I had been old enough to dress myself，but today would need some help.Miss Finlayson，my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.I managed to get into my wool snow trousers.But I struggled with my jacket because it didn't fit well.It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty.Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots (靴子)．In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn't realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence (信心)．I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot.Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work.After much pushing, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.I announced, “They're on the wrong feet.”She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.“They're my brother's boots, you know，”I said，“I hate them.”Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn't an annoying (烦人的) little girl.She pushed and pushed, less gently this time.With a greater sigh, seeing the end of her.She struggled with me, she asked, “Now, where are your mittens (连指手套)？”I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn't want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”1．The little girl was more satisfied with her________.A．trousers B．jacketC．boots D．hat2．Miss Finlayson had difficulty with the girl's boots mainly because ________.A．the girl got them from her brotherB．the girl put something in themC．they were on the wrong feetD．they did not fit the girl well3．Why does the author think Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?A．Because the little girl was in her brother's clothes.B．Because it was the most exciting day of the winter.C．Because the little girl played a trick on her.D．Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf.4．We can learn from the text that Miss Finlayson ________.A．was losing confidence in the little girlB．gradually lost patience with the little girlC．became disappointed with the little girlD．was getting bored with the little girlBMa Sanli, a late crosstalk master, still inspires (激励) different generations. His works are considered classics to other crosstalk performers.Ma Sanli was born in Beijing in 1914.Before 1949, when the People's Republic of China was founded, Ma Sanli gave performances at markets, shopping centers and theaters in Beijing and Tianjin. His name spread quickly because of his unique style. Later, he joined the Tianjin Opera Troupe in 1953.In 1994, he was appointed a special researcher at the China Academy of Arts. Ma Sanli created more than 200 traditional crosstalk performances.Ma Sanli's performances are full of the feelings of ordinary people. In both his crosstalk and solo (单口的) comic performances, his performing style uses mild but popular local language. Although he displays a style of cool-headed humour, he is very warm-hearted.He enjoys the reputation (名誉) of being an artist of the ordinary people.The crosstalk artist was particularly good at solo comic dialogues. They are unique in that they always have a social meaning.Nearly all solo comic dialogues performed by Ma Sanli underline profound meanings through small stories.On December 8th,2001, Ma Sanli held his farewell performance in Tianjin. It attracted more than 4500 fans from all parts of China. At that time, he was 88 and had performed crosstalk for 80 years. When he entered the stadium, there was thundering applause.The audience jumped to its feet to pay its respect and appreciation to the crosstalk performer. Ma Sanli waved back.After the performance, the headquarters of Shanghai Guinness presented a certificate to him for being devoted the longest to crosstalk.In addition to being an excellent crosstalker himself, Ma Sanli also trained lots of top-class crosstalkers in China. All are big names in China.On February 11, 2003, this respectable crosstalk master passed away at the age of 90.It was a great loss to China.But in his will, Ma Sanli wro te “I just want to leave smiles on people's faces.”We will always remember this respected and beloved crosstalker, a true artist of the masses.5．Before the year when New China was founded, Ma Sanli performed as ________.A．a trade dealer B．a circus actorC．an unsuccessful painter D．a folk artisan6．Which detail is NOT mentioned in this passage?A．Making up traditional crosstalk.B．Bringing up a new generation of crosstalk.C．A host of crosstalk programs on TV.D．Putting on crosstalk performances.7．From the passage we can infer that ________.A．Ma Sanli was cool-hearted but loved to help othersB．no one else performed crosstalk for so many years except Ma SanliC．Ma Sanli was better at solo comic performances than crosstalk performancesD．the materials of Ma's solo comic dialogues came from affairs at home and abroad8．Ma Sanli's favourite title is ________.A．a crosstalk masterB．a true artist of the massesC．a special researcherD．a traditional crosstalkerCFrom my first day, I was attending press conferences and other media events all over town.I got to attend events at places I had never thought I'd get to：the White House, the Senate and House of Representative buildings at the Capitol (国会大厦), the Department of Health and Human Services, just to name a few.And I was sent to cover these events as if I were a reporter, not just an intern (实习生)．In fact, I never really felt like an intern.I was given the opportunity to do the work that everyone else at the paper was doing.I covered stories on my own and wrote the articles myself.I was included in discussions for story ideas.I helped to edit the articles that went into the paper.I was able to take part in every aspect of the newspaper that I wanted to experience.The best part of working at the Nation's Health was the staff.They were supportive in letting me go out and do things on my own, while I always knew that they would be more than happy to answer any questions or help me with any problems I might have.Best of all, they treated me as their equal, not just an intern whom they could get to do all the work they didn't want to do.After interning at the Nation's Health for nearly seven months and having more than 30 articles published, I had to move on.My experience there gave me insight into how the media work, which helps me when I'm trying to choose stories.In addition, it showed me that work really can be fun.9．What is the passage mainly about?A．How good reporting begins with journalism interns.B．The author's opportunity to work at the Nation's Health.C．The author's experience working as an intern.D．The author's first day as a professional reporter.10．What impressed the author most when working at the Nation's Health?A．The employees treated her as one of them equally.B．The opportunity to work alone.C．Covering stories and writing articles.D．Coming up with story ideas for the newspaper.11．From the passage we can infer that the author had thought an intern would be made to ________.A．go to as many places as possibleB．do the boring things that others didn't want to doC．treat people equally, no matter who they wereD．get help from a professional reporter12．What did the author think of her experience of working at the Nation's Health?A．Meaningful.B．Disappointing.C．Tiring. D．Surprising.DJean is a bright young woman who comes from a rich and famous family. She goes to a good university and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything. The problem is that Jean's family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. In fact, Jean is quite lonely. So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ. She likes being anonymous (匿名的), talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends who she keeps in touch with quite often.Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they evenforgot their time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: He was a tall, good-looking young man with big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.When Jean's father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest DVD of their favorite rock singer. But when she knocked on David's door in San Francisco, she found that her special friend was a twelve-year-old boy named Jim!13．Jean spends a lot of her time on QQ because she is ________.A．rich B．youngC．lonely D．a bad student14．What are both Jean and Jim interested in?A．Pop music and sports.B．Music and science.C．Rock music and modern dance.D．Stories and jokes.15．What's the main idea of the passage?A．Don't believe those you get to know on QQ so easily.B．People don't use their real names on QQ so often.C．Don't go to meet those you get to know on QQ.D．Don't spend much time on QQ.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Sometimes willpower is a lot like the television remote control — hard to find just when you want it most. Whether you're trying to lose weight, stop smoking, get to the gym regularly, developing your sense of willpower is an important part of changing any behavior. 16.________ But there are ways to increase your willpower.▲ Don't try to change your economic situation, win a promotion and lose weight all on the same morning. Establish one clear, specific goal and make a realistic plan for achieving it. Extra willpower sometimes requires extra energy, so don't stretch yourself too thin. 17.________ ▲ Whatever your goal is, don't expect to achieve it overnight. 18.________ If you are trying to kick a caffeine habit, start by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a glass of water, instead of vowing never to drink coffee again. Congratulate yourself on the small achievements that will pave the way toward a larger one. These successes help your willpower grow.▲19.________ Ask friends, family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help. If your credit card bills have increased sharply, for instance, let friends know that you are cutting back on expenses. Suggest having a common dinner instead of meeting at an expensive restaurant. Find a support group or organization related to your goal and attend their meetings. You can get valuable advice, understanding and information.▲If possible, change your environment to encourage positive behavior. Want to get in shape? Keep an extra set of workout clothes in your office as a reminder to stop by the gym on the way home. Quitting smoking? 20.________A．Change your environment to change your life.B．Real success takes time.C．Avoid bars or restaurants where you might be attracted to light up.D．Changing your behavior requires more than willpower.E．Improve your willpower by a support network.F．Breaking a bad habit or forming a new and healthy one can be difficult.G．Focus on one goal at a time.Ⅲ.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)From my second grade on, there was one event I feared every year: the piano recital (独奏会).A recital __21__ I had to practice a boring piece of music and perform before strangers.

determines the way we are as we grow up？Remember the TV program Seven Up ？It started following the lives of a group of children in 1963.We first meet them as wide-eyed seven-year-olds and thencatch up with them at seven-year intervals (间隔)：nervous 14-year-olds，serious 21-year-olds，then grown-ups.Some of the stories are inspiring，others sad，but what is interesting in alm ost all the cases is the way in which the children’s early hopes and dreams are shown in their future lives，for example，at seven，Tony is a lively child whosays he wants to become a sportsman or a taxi driver.When he grows up，he goes on to do both.How about Nicki，who says，“I’d like to find out about the moon.”and goes on to become a space scientist.As a child，soft-spoken Bruce says he wants to help “poor children” and ends up teaching in India.But if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern，the program would be far less interesting than it actually was.It was the children whose childhood did not prepare them for what was to come that made the program so inspiring.Where did their ideas come from about what they wanted to do when they grew up？Are children influenced by what their parents do，by what they see on television，or by what their teachers say？How great is the effect of a single important event？Many film directors，including Stephen Spielberg，say that an early visit to the cinema was the turning point in their lives.Dr.Magaret Mc Allister，who has done a lot of research in this area，thinks that the major influences are parents，friends，and the wider society.56．What does the text mainly discuss?A．New ways to make a TV program interesting.B．The importance of television programs to children.C．Different ways to make childhood dreams come true.D．The influence of childhood experience on future lives.57．In the TV program Seven Up，we can meet________.A．different groups of people at different periods of their livesB．different groups of people at the same period of their livesC．the same group of people at different periods of their livesD．the same group of people at the same period of their lives58．What are the examples in paragraph 2 meant to show?A．Many people’s childhood hopes are related to their future jobs.B．There are many poor children in India who need help.C．Children have different dreams about their future.D．A lot of people are very sad in their childhood.59．Spielberg’s story is meant to show that________.A．going to a movie at an early age helps a child learn about societyB．a single childhood event may decide what one does as a grown-upC．parents and friends can help a child grow up properlyD．films have more influence on a child than teachers do60．What does the writer think of the TV program?A．Interesting. B．Crazy. C．Dull. D．Serious.BIn previous generations，young people were under their parents’control；now the teenage children of the West’s richest generation were ready for something to get excited about.The Beatles simply put a spark to a fuse (导火索) that was waiting to be lit.Everything changed，and what changed for the Beatles was their lives and their working habits，in the midst of the hysterical (歇斯底里) following the band attracted.Because of the demand of the fans to see them perform，they played bigger and bigger venues (meeting places)，especially in America.But John，Paul，George and Ringo became increasingly unhappy that，because of the screaming of their fans，neither the band nor the audience could hear the music.Creatively frustrated and tired of the pressures of life under siege (围攻) from their fans，they retired from playing concerts in 1966 and decided to concentrate on (专心于) recording.It was from this point that the brilliance of the Beatles really began to reveal itself：they recorded over their career some 200 songs.Never before nor since has any recording and writing group even developed and yet remained the same in the way the Beatles did.Their songs never lost their universal appeal (魅力) thanks to the warmth and timelessness of their melodies (音调) and lyrics.John and Paul were powerful singers with special styles.It became clear that，despite the fact that the songwriting credits were always equally attributed to (归因于) them，Paul and John wrote and sang their own songs.George also contributed two or three of his own compositions to each of the Beatles’eleven albums.Even Ringo wrote and sang the occasional song.61．Which of the following is NOT true about the Beatles according to the passage?A．They were always pleased with their popularity.B．They played bigger and bigger venues to meet the demand of the fans.C．They made the young people of their time very excited.D．They attracted a large following wherever they palyed.62．What can we know by inference from the third paragraph?A．The Beatles didn’t want to be popular at all.B．The screaming of the fans affected the Beatles much.C．The audience were unhappy about the sound effect.D．Pop musicians get easily tired because of great pressures.63．The Beatles’outstanding qualities were really shown when______.A．they played on the American continentB．they concentrated on recording and compositionC．they played their own lyrics and melodies on the stageD．they sang on the stage pop songs they wrote themselves64．What can we learn about the Beatles’music?A．It was simple in form but rich in meaning.B．It was a fine example of music for simple sing-along songs.C．It’s better than any music group for their lyrics and melodies.D．Its appeal wasn’t limited to any particular time or group of people.65．What can we infer from the passage?A．George and Ringo never composed or sang their own songs.B．John and Paul made greater contributions to the success of the band.C．The Beatles were more popular than other recording or writing groups then.D．John and Paul sang their own songs because they had little in common.C“You’re go ing to the United States to live？How wonderful！You’re really lucky！”Does this sound familiar？Perhaps your family and friends said similarthings to you when you left home.But does it seem true all the time？Is your life in this new country always wonderful and exciting？A great many facts show that it’s not easy for newcomers to adjust to life in a new culture.They have to experience culture shock.What causes culture shock？Maybe the weather is unpleasant.Perhaps the customs are different.Perhaps the public service systems such as the telephone，post office，or transportation are difficult to figure out and you make mistakes.The simplest things seem difficult.The language may be difficult.The food may seem strange to you.If you don’t look similar to the natives，you may feel strange.You may feel as if everyone is watching you.In fact，you__are__always__watching__yourself.Everyone experiences culture shock in some form or another.But culture shock comes as a surprise to most people.A lot of the time，the people with the worst culture shock are the people who never had any difficulties in their own countries.They were active and successful in their community (社区)．They had hobbies or pastimes which they enjoyed.When they come to a new country，they do not have the same positions or hobbies as they already had in their countries.They find themselves without a role，almost without an identity.They have to build a new self-image.Culture shock produces a feeling of disorientation (晕头转向)，which may be homesickness，imagined illness，or even paranoia (妄想症)．When people feel the disorientation of culture shock，they sometimes feel like staying inside all the time.They want to protect themselves from the unfamiliar environment.They want to create an escape within their room to give themselves a sense of security.This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term，but it does nothing to familiarize the person more with the culture.Familiarity and experience are the long-term ways to settle the problem of culture shock.66．Who is the passage mainly for?A．The family and friends of those who came to the US.B．Those who have got rid of culture shock.C．People who have just moved to a foreign country.D．People who can easily adjust to their life in the US.67．The underlin ed part “you are always watching yourself” (in Paragraph 3) means________.A．you are always feeling homesickB．you are always worried too much about yourselfC．you are always looking at yourself in the mirrorD．you are always nervous about meeting other people68．Which of the following would be a case of culture shock for newcomers?A．They have trouble using public telephones.B．Their positions or hobbies stay the same.C．They are active and successful in the new community.D．They have got used to the life in the new country.69．Which of the following may cause newcomers to lack a sense of security?A．A new identity. B．Local food.C．A new self-image.D．Strange environment.70．The best way for the newcomers to overcome culture shock is________.A．to stay inside to protect themselvesB．to make a study of new hobbiesC．to adapt themselves to the new environmentD．to ask people for help when having difficultiesDNew friends.Fresh lifestyle.Better career opportunities...Those are attractions of overseas study for young people in China.“Start early，finish strong，” some of them say.More than 300 universities from 27 countries and regions were represented at last weekend’s international education exposition.71.If you want to have more chances of getting scholarship to study in a foreign country，you’d better choose________.A．Canada B．the UK C．the US D．Australia72．Many young people go to study in the US because________.A．it is very difficult for them to get a student visaB．it is easier for them to pass the TOFEL or GREC．they don’t spend much time applying to US universitiesD．they think they can receive good university education73．If you want to go on staying in the country after you finish studying there，you will choose________.A．Australia or the UK B．Canada or AustraliaC．the US or the UK D．Canada or the UK74．In which of the following countries may money be the most concern while studying abroad?A．The US & the UK.

Module 1 课下能力提升(一)阅读理解AInformal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about your family and be sure to show pictures of your children. You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be interesting — and they can cover pretty much or any topic — as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent manner.In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious business relationship they're trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.As a general rule, it's best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. In addition, discussing one's salary is ususlly considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticise a national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host's team.1．The underlined word “harmonious” most probably means “________”．A．competitive B．friendly and peacefulC．original D．sensitive2．The writer thinks politics and religion are ________ for business.A．cheerful topics B．taboosC．rude topics D．wise topics3．Which is typically a friendly topic in most places according to the author?A．Sports. B．Children.C．Personal feelings. D．Families.BSmall talk is a very short conversation used by individual to kill time and make the other person feel comfortable in his presence. However, sometimes you should be careful of your topics.There are certain “safe” topics that people usually discuss.The weather is probably the number one thing that people who do not know each other well discuss. Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or start a conversation.Another topic that is generally safe is current events. As long as you are not discussing a controversial_issue,_such as a recent law concerning equal rights, it is usually safe to discuss that. Entertainment and sports news is another good topic. If there is something that you and the other person have in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. For example, if the bus is extremely full and there are no seats available, you might talk about the reasons why. Similarly, people in an office might casually discuss the new paint or furniture.There are also some subjects that are not considered acceptable when making small talk.Discussing personal information such as salaries or a recent divorce is unacceptable between people who do not know each other well. Compliments on clothing or hair are acceptable; however, you should never say something (good。
