The fact that a child picks up a language 39 is surprising: at one year old, a child is able to 40 "bye-bye"; at two, he is able to use fifty words; by three he begins to 41 tenses. The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky 42 that human beings have a sort of built-in system for language use, and that the 43 is only secondary. Children are not taught language 44 they are taught arithmetic. Other linguists, 45 , hold the view that a child learns 46 of his language from the hints in the environment. 47 , theorists of both schools 48 that there is a biological basis for language and language use. The 49 is which is more important, the inner ability or the environment. This is certainly a field 50 to be explored. Researchers from both schools are busy finding evidence to 51 their own theory, but 52 side is persuading the other. It seems that in order to 53 why a child learns a language so easily, we have to 54 the joint efforts of both schools. Some linguists, like De Villiers, have recognized the value of cooperation, and 55 linguists of both sides to work together.36. A. Surprisingly B. Personally C. Properly D. Roughly37.

This helps us to adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn't know what's happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture (折磨) is based on the human body being open to pain.But there is a way to handle pain. kook at the Indian fakir (苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude towards it. ff the dentist says, "This will hurt a little," it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.56. What does the writer mean by saying "we pay for our sensitivity'" in the first paragraph?A. We have to take care of our sense of' pain.B. We suffer from our sense of feeling.C. We should try hard to resist pain.D. We are hurt when we feel pain.57. When the author mentions' file Indian fakir, he shows that _________.A. fakirs possess magic powerB. Indians are not afraid of painC. people can learn to cope with painD. some people are born without a sense of pain58. What is essential for people to stand pain according to the writer?A. Their relaxation.B. Their interest.C. Their nerves.D. Their attitude.59. The author believes that _________.A. feeling pain is part of our lifeB. pain should be avoided at all costsC. feeling pain can be an interesting thingD. magic power is essential for reducing painBThe eight airlines of the Oneworld alliance (联盟) have joined forces to give world travelers a simple way to plan and book a round-the-world journey.

The propose of the advertisement is to ___________.A. promote a special flight programB. recommend a long business tripC. describe an alliance flightD. introduce different airlinesCI recently wrote an autobiography in which I recalled many old memories. One of them was from my school day's, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from the Reader's Digest to test our vocabulary.Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out "It pays to Enrich your Word Power" first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Reader's Digest knows the power that words have to move people — to entertain, inform, and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word isn't always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote from the February 1985 issue: "Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk."Seventeen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey! That's usually how it is with Reader's Digest. Small and simple can be profound.As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I've been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like "hope", "guts", "faith", "dreams". Those am words that move people and say' so much about the spirit of America.Don't get me wrong. I'm not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a small miracle — if it's the right word, in the right place, at the right time. It's a "secret" that I hope I never forget.64. The passage is mainly about _______.A. one of the many old memoriesB. using simple words to express profound ideasC. Reader's Digest and school speechesD. how to make effective speeches65. It seems that Reader's Digest is a magazine popular with _________.A. people of all agesB. teenagersC. school teachersD. elderly readers66. The author's "secret" is _________.A. to avoid using big words at any timeB. to use words that have the power to move peopleC. to work a miracle by using a small wordD. to use small and simple words where possible67. According to the author, well-chosen words can give people ________.A. hope, courage, and ideasB. confidence, determination, and strengthC. pleasure, knowledge, and encouragementD. entertainment, information, and powerDThere are two kinds of memory: short-mm and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate (中等), and native speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording, Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning's results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.68. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long, term memory.D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.69. From Henning's result we can see that ________.A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB. advanced students always remember words by their meaningC. it is difficult to remember words that sound alikeD. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning70. The word "subject" in the passage means _________.A. memoryB. the theme of listening materialC. a branch of knowledge studiedD. the student experimented on71. The passage centers on ________.A. memoryB. two kinds of memoryC. short-term memoryD. an experiment on studentsESuccessful innovations (改革) have driven many older technologies to extinction (灭绝) and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand of raw materials and the speed of flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use for each person. The history of industrial development has a great number of examples.In 1870, homes and mules were the prime source of power on U.S. farmers. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings, a ratio (比率) that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological mm of mind. Had they been "economists", they would probably have projected the 1970 home or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been "technologists", they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed (受……约束) to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the home and mule population would decline rapidly.72. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a consequence of new technological developments?A. Older technologies die away.B. The quality of life is improved.C. Overall productivity increase.D. More raw materials become necessary.73. It can be inferred from the passage that by 1870 ________.A. technology began to be more economicalB. the steam engine had not been inventedC. the U.S. horse population was about 10 millionD. a national commission on agriculture had been established74. In the second paragraph, the author suggests that "economists" would ________.A. plan the economy through yearly forecastsB. fail to consider the influence of technological innovationC. value the economic contribution of farm animalsD. consult the national commission on the economy75. What is the author's attitude towards changes brought on by technological innovations?A. He is excited about themB. He accepts them as naturalC. He is disturbed by themD. He questions their usefulnessIV 短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

satisfaction.“Perfect！”I said.“Now，all I have to do is to keep the dogs off of it.” I went about setting up barriers(障碍)using old fence，broken chairs，flowerpots，and anything I could find so as to avoid footprints both on the oil paint and our carpet.It worked perfectly.Just before returning to the house and to a much needed shower，I took one last look at this fine work of art.“What is that？”I said.“Where did that come from？”Clearly marked and evenly spaced across the entire area，I found tiny marks running in straight lines.I carefully stepped to our flower garden.It was there I found several of the small markings.Now，almost frozen in place by this stunning(令人震惊的)discovery，I remained in position so as to prevent further damaging my work.Just then，off to my left，it appeared.A chipmunk(花栗鼠)．He was as stunned as I was.We stood there face to face looking at each other，wondering who would make the first move.The warm，wet air was now getting the best of me.Sweat now ran freely over my head，and in poor timing(适时)into my eyes.I reached up to rub them and when I opened my eyes he was gone.My only satisfaction was in thinking that when he returned home he tracked oily footprints into his own home.And，hoping he was married，his wife would not let him live it down for the rest of his life.I stood up，shook my head，and laughing about it all walked into my house.Yes，I tracked oil on the carpet.I am married.My wife will not let me live it downfor the rest of my life.36．What was the project the author completed in the passage?A．A painting. B．A carpet.C．A fence. D．A flower garden.37．We can know from the passage that the chipmunk________.A．made fun of the authorB．stole something important in the houseC．destroyed the author's workD．came for some food38．What did the author do to the chipmunk?A．He caught it and gave it some punishment.B．He frightened it away.C．He tried to catch it but failed.D．He didn't do any harm to it.39．What kind of feeling did the author intend to express in the passage?A．Satisfaction and pleasure.B．Regret and disappointment.C．Love and appreciation.D．Understanding and sympathy.BArthur Miller (1915－2005)is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th ler's father had moved to the USA fromAustria-Hungary，drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream”．However，he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.Miller's most famous play，Death of a Salesman，is a powerful attack on the American system，with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth.In Willy Loman，the hero of the play，we see a man who has got into trouble with this system.Willy is “burnt out” and in thecruel world of business there is no room for sentiment：if he can't do the work，then he is no good to his employer，the Wagner Company，and he must go.Willy is painfully aware of this，and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success.He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.When it was first staged in 1949，the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play，the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award，and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury，Connecticut, on the evening of February 10,2005，the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.40．Why did Arthur Miller's father move to the USA?A．He suffered from severe hunger in his home country.B．He was attracted by the “Great American Dream”．C．He hoped to make his son a dramatist.D．His family business failed.41．After it was first staged，Death of a Salesman ________.A．achieved huge successB．won the first Tony AwardC．was warmly welcomed by salesmenD．was severely attacked by dramatists42. What is the text mainly about?A．Arthur Miller and his family.B．The awards Arthur Miller won.C．The hardship Arthur Miller experienced.D．Arthur Miller and his best-known play.CToday，we complete our story about the influential English writer William Shakespeare.He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries，which remain very popular today.During earlier times，people would probably have learned several ancient Romanand Greek plays.It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works.For example，in Shakespeare's play “The Comedy of Errors”，Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus.For his play “Macbeth”，Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information.Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers，but the intensity of his imagination and language made the plays his own.While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten，Shakespeare and his art live on.Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him.He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays.His works include observations about political struggles，the fear of diseases，and the popular language of the city's tradesmen.Shakespeare's knowledge of the English countryside is also clear.His works include descriptions of deep forests，local flowers，and the ancient popular traditions of rural people.It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare's works have influenced the world culture.But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language.During his time，the English language was changing.Many new words from other languages were being added.Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic (富诗意的) inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones.For example，he created the noun forms of “critic” ，“mountaineer” and “eyeball”．Many common expressions in English come from his plays，including “pomp and circumstance(隆重的仪式)”from “Othello” ，“full circle (绕圈子)”from “King Lear”，etc.The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless.From paintings to television to music and dance，Shakespeare was well represented.Shakespeare's plays have been translated into every major language in the world.Shakespeare became a well-known writer during a golden age of theater.His years of hard work paid off.43．What can we infer from the passage?A．Many of Shakespeare's works were influenced by earlier writings.B．Shakespeare was hard-working when he was a student.C．The experience of living in London helped a lot with Shakespeare's works.D．Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works.44．Shakespeare might have learnt some information from ancient Roman works in________.A．“King Lear”B．“The Comedy of Errors”C．“Macbeth” D．“Othello”45．Shakespeare's greatest influence should be on ________.A．the English languageB．paintingsC．televisionD．music and dance46．The passage is mainly about________.A．an introduction to Shakespeare's life and his worksB．the main features and styles of Shakespeare's playsC．how culture influenced Shakespeare and he influenced cultureD．Shakespeare's greatest influence on the world cultureDWhether you're studying for a test，reviewing paperwork for your job，or trying to understand a journal article，reading comprehension is involved in.Unfortunately，when the reading material is difficult，our reading comprehension can suffer.Learning to comprehend what you read can help you prevent wasting time as well as make you more productive(富有成效的) on the job or at school.The things you already know are important for understanding things you're going to learn.Before you begin reading something on a new topic，think about what you already know about it and how what you are reading might build upon that.Since kindergarten，we've all been told to keep a dictionary nearby when reading，but few of us follow this advice.If you are not absolutely certain of the meaning of a word，look it up.You'll not only make reading easier；you'll also improve your vocabulary.If you are reading especially challenging material，try taking notes.If you write while you are reading，reading will become boring and your comprehension will godownhill.Instead，make an outline at the end of each paragraph or sentence.Someone thinks that speed reading is very popular，and certainly has its place.However，from my point of view，it's a terrible idea if you want tolearn.Besides，speed reading will cost you more time because you will have to go back and review if you understand what you have read quickly.Focus on quality reading rather than quick reading，and take frequent breaks if you begin to get distracted(注意力分散的)．When reading something boring，it's easy to just read the words without even understanding what they mean.At such times，just find a way to relate to the material.Write down questions，and look up concepts online to get alternative perspectives.Your comprehension will improve and you'll be less likely to need to reread.47．The passage is intended to teach students how to ________.A．form good study habitsB．take notes when reading booksC．improve reading comprehensionD．treat their reading homework properly48．The author suggests that when reading books we should ________.A．refuse to use a dictionaryB．think about what we knowC．pay more attention to new topicsD．practise speed reading first49. According to the passage，what's the author's attitude towards speed reading?A．Curious. B．Positive.C．Unconcerned. D．Opposed.50. What should we do if we come across some boring materials?A．Ignore new words.B．Make every effort to understand it.C．Read it without understanding.D．Ask for help from others.Ⅳ.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Students will need to use all of their skills in order to understand the reading selections in Reader's Choice.51．________ These selections provide practice on employing different reading skills to get the message of the writer.They also give students practice in four basic reading skills：skimming，scanning，reading for thorough comprehension，and critical reading.Skimming involves reading quickly through a text to get an overall idea of its contents.This kind of rapid reading is suitable when you are trying to decide if careful reading is desirable or 52.________Like skimming，scanning is also quick reading.However，in this case the search is more concentrated.53.________ When you read to find a particular date，or number you are scanning.Reading for thorough comprehension is carefully reading in order to understand the total meaning of the passage.At this level of comprehension the reader is able to summarize the author's ideas 54.________Critical reading demands that a reader makes judgments about what he or she reads.This kind of reading requires posting and answering questions such as “55.________“Do I share the author's point of view？”And “Am I convinced by the author's arguments and evidence？”A．Does my own experience support that of the author?B．Reader's Choice is one of the most popular magazines in the world.C．but has not yet made a critical evaluation of those ideas.D．The book contains many types of selections on a wide variety of topics.E．To scan is to read quickly in order to find out specific information.F．Do I know about the author?G．when there is no time to read something carefully.Ⅴ.短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)Last week，I met a stranger who seemed to be losing. I offered to guide him to the place he wanted to go to，but to my surprise，he refused my offer to helping.I asked him why not.He told me that he was afraid I would ask him money if I helpedhim in this way.Then I fell into deep thoughts: was it money which came between us？I agree that money is become more and more important in our society，and it should not be everything.We should try my best to help others and trust each other.If everyone does this, our society will be better and better.Ⅵ.书面表达(满分25分)皮革马利翁效应说了“暗示”的作用，暗示在本质上是人的情感和观念不同程度地受到别人下意识的影响，人们会不自觉地接受自己喜欢、钦佩、信任和崇拜的人的影响和暗示，而这种暗示正是让你梦想成真的基石之一。

人教版选修8Unit4单元综合检测学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择In the coming months, we are bringing together artists from all over the globe, to enjoy speaking Shakespeare’s plays in their language, in our Globe, within the architecture Shakespeare wrote for. Please come and join us.National Theatre Of China Beijing｜ChineseThis great occasion(盛会) will be the National Theatre of China’s first visit to the UK. The company’s productions show the new face of 21st century Chine se theatre. This production of Shakespeare’s Richard III will be directed by the National’s Associate Director, Wang Xiaoying.Date & Time: Saturday 28 April, 2.30 pm & Sunday 29 April, 1.30 pm & 6.30 pmMarjanishvili Theatre Tbilisi｜GeorgianOne of the most famous theatres in Georgia, the Marjanishvili, founded in 1928, appears regularly at theatre festivals all over the world. This new production of As You Like It is helmed(指导) by the company’s Artistic Director Levan Tsuladze.Date & Time: Friday 18 May, 2.30 pm & Saturday 19 May, 7.30 pmDeafinitely Theatre London｜British Sign Language(BSL)By translating the rich and humourous text of Love’s Labour’s Lost into the physical language of BSL, Deafinitely Theatre creates a new interpretation of Shakespear e’s comedy and aims to build a bridge between deaf and hearing worlds by performing to both groups as one audience.Date & Time: Tuesday 22 May, 2.30 pm & Wednesday 23 May, 7.30 pmHabima National Theatre Tel Aviv｜HebrewThe Habima is the centre of Hebrew-language theatre worldwide. Founded in Moscow after the 1905 revolution, the company eventually settled in Tel Aviv in the late 1920s. Since 1958, they have been recognized as the national theatre of Israel. This production of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice marks their first visit to the UK.Date & Time: Monday 28 May, 7.30 & Tuesday 29 May, 7.30 pm1．Which play will be performed by the National Theatre of China?A．RichardⅢ. B．Lover’s Labour’s Lost.C．As You Like It. D．The Merchant of Venice.2．What is special about Deafinitely Theatre?A．It has two groups of actors. B．It is the leading theatre in London. C．It performs plays in BSL. D．It is good at producing comedies. 3．When can you see a play in Hebrew?A．On Saturday 28 April. B．On Sunday 29 April.C．On Tuesday 22 May. D．On Tuesday 29 May.Do you still remember your favorite poem during high school or some other important periods in your life? Why is it that decades later it still stands out in your mind? Probably the main reason is that some aspect of that poem resonates (产生共鸣) with you. In the same way, you too as a school leader can touch the hearts of your teachers and students.Poetry allows us to experience strong spiritual connections to things around us and to the past. The power that poetry has displayed over time and across cultures actually satisfies this common need of the human heart and soul.As one of the oldest art forms, poetry has successfully connected carious parts of humanity (人性) from one generation to another. Referring to poetry, Hillyer makes a simple yet meaningful statement,” With this key mankind unlocked his heart.”School leaders can find and make use of the value of poetry for themselves, their students and their teachers. Beyond the simple use of poetry, techniques of poetry such as repetition (重复) can be sued to take advantage of the power of language to transform communication, create meaning and culture of care and attention.Since schools are mainly about people and relationships, school leaders, like poets, are required to inspire and encourage the human heart. The use of poetry — or even of some techniques of poetry — in school leadership not only helps to improve communication, but also serves to meet the human need for inspiration.4．Who is the passage mainly written for?A．Students. B．Teachers.C．School leaders. D．Poets.5．What does the underlined part “this common need” in the second paragraph refer to? A．The need to read poetry.B．The need to be inspired.C．The need to learn about the past.D．The need to be connected with surroundings.6．The use of poetry or techniques of poetry in school leadership is in fact to make use of______ .A．the power of languageB．the power of school leadersC．people’s preference for poetryD．people’s desire for communication7．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To talk about the art of being a school leader.B．To show readers that poetry is really powerful.C．To explain how poetry can be used in our daily life.D．To encourage school leaders to use the power of poetry in school leadership.二、七选五Snow blindness —it’s a frightening phrase. Thankfully, it’s a condition that is preventable.Snow blindness is a painful and temporary loss of vision due to overexposure to the sun’s UV rays. Essentially, snow blindness is caused by a sunburned eye.You don’t need snow to become snow blind. 8．The terms “ snow blind ” and “ snow blindness “ have become popular because snow can highly reflect ultraviolet radiation. 9．Also, skiing, mountain climbing and snowboarding usually take pla ce at relatively high altitudes, where the sun’s UV rays are stronger. Combined, these factors can double your risk of getting sunburned eyes, compared with being outdoors at lower altitudes in the summertime.10．Television journalist Anderson Cooper experienced snow-free snow blindnessfirst-hand a few years ago when he spent a couple hours on a boat in Portugal without sunglasses and ended up “ being blind for 36 hours”, according to his report of the incident.Not only can you become snow blind without snow — it can happen without sunlight, too! 11．For example, sun lamps can cause temporary snow blindness if proper eye protection is not used.12．To relieve pain or discomfort from snow blindness, stay indoors and wear sunglasses.Keep your eyes well-moistened with artificial tears. For additional relief, use over-the-counter pain relievers. Be sure to use only pain relievers you know you can take without worry of an allergic reaction. You also may find that placing a cool and dampened washcloth over your closed eyelids is comforting.A．It will likely affect those traveling in snowy conditions.B．To prevent snow blindness on the slopes, wear sunglasses.C．Sometimes it occurs from man-made sources of ultraviolet radiationD．In fact, snow can reflect over 80 percent of the UV rays that fall upon it.E.Though it is commonly called snow blindness, the condition can occur in the absence of snow.F.But water and white sand also highly reflect the sun’s UV rays, thus increasing the risk.G.Snow blindness is scary, but usually it’s temporary, and there are ways to relieve the discomfort.三、提纲类作文13．假定你校英语角举办“我最喜欢的一本书”征文活动，目的是向同学们推荐值得一读的书，鼓励同学们去发现阅读的快乐。

人教版英语选修8 Unit 4 Pygmalion 单元测试卷一、阅读理解1.It's often said of British people that they are very aware of each other's social rank. Britons can usually work out a fellow countryman's background from the way they speak or dress, and may even treat them differently based on this. But although this may have been truer in the past than it is today, visitors to Britain say that they still notice it. The comic play Pygmalion (1913), by the Irishman George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), is a famous exploration of the importance of social rank in British society.The main story of the play concerns a working class girl, Eliza Doolittle, a flower seller from London. Two upper class gentlemen try to see if they can get Doolittle to appear like an upper class lady after sending her for elocution lessons. Professor Henry Higgins, a language expert, says it can be done; his friend Colonel Pickering says that it's impossible. Even so, Higgins sets out to teach Eliza how to "speak properly".Of course, Eliza isn't a lump of clay; she has her own will. She can see that it's in her best interest to go along with Higgins' plan to "improve herself". She wants to be able to sell flowers in a shop rather than on the street. After the training, Eliza proves that a flower girl can pass herself off as a lady at a ball. She is a triumph (赢家), and Higgins has won his bet.But what happens next? Eliza has her future to worry about. She may be able to fool the upper class into thinking she's one of them, but she isn't really one of them.Shaw seems to be telling us that social rank is about more than the way someone talks—it's about wealth and privilege. The whole experiment proves the idea that accents and classes are very superficial (肤浅的). The way one speaks and dresses are only markers of class. The class system itself, however, is something completely different.（1）What can we learn about speaking and dressing from Paragraph 1?A.They determine Britons' social rank.B.Britons are stricter in them nowadays.C.Britons no longer care about them.D.They could affect others' opinion of a person.（2）Which can replace the underlined word "elocution"?A.DressB.MannersC.SpeechD.Dance（3）What happens to Eliza Doolittle during the experiment?A.She is forced to give up selling flowers on the street.B.She is unwilling to participate in the experiment.C.She is thought of as an upper-class lady at the hall.D.She is hopeful about her future.（4）Which of the following would Shaw probably agree with?A.One can enter the upper class after receiving training.B.People should try their best to improve their accents.C.The way people speak greatly affects their social status.D.Social rank can't he judged by dressing or speaking.二、完形填空There are times when people are so tired that they fall asleep almost anywhere．We can see there is a lot of sleeping on the bus or train on the（1）________home from work in the evenings．A man will be （2）________the newspaper, and seconds later it（3）________as if he is trying to （4）________it．Or he will fall asleep on the shoulder of the stranger （5）________ next to him．（6）________ place where unplanned short sleep（7）________ is in the lecture hall where a student will start snoring（打鼾）so （8）________that the professor has to ask another student to（9）________the sleeper awake．A more embarrassingsituation occurs when a student starts falling into sleep and the（10）________of the head pushes the arm off the（11）________, and the movement carries the（12）________of the body along．The student wakes up on the floor with no （13）________ of getting there．The worst time to fall asleep is when （14）________．Police reports are full of（15）________ that occur when people fall into sleep and go （16）________the road．If the drivers are（17）________, they are not seriously hurt．One woman's car, （18）________, went into the river．She woke up in four feet of（19）________and thought it was raining．When people are really （20）________, nothing will stop them from falling asleep--no matter where they are（1）A.wayB.trackC.pathD.road（2）A.buyingB.foldingC.deliveringD.reading（3）A.actsB.showsC.appearsD.sounds（4）A.openB.eatC.findD.finish（5）A.lyingB.waitingC.talkingD.sitting（6）A.NextB.EveryC.AnotherD.One（7）A.goes onB.ends upstsD.returns（8）A.bravelyB.hppilyC.loudlyD.carelessly（9）A.leaveB.shakeC.keepD.watch（10）A.sizeB.shapeC.weightD.strength（11）A.cushionB.deskC.shoulderD.book（12）A.actionB.positionC.restD.side（13）A.memoryB.reasonC.questionD.purpose（14）A.thinkingB.workingC.walkingD.driving（15）A.changesB.eventsC.ideasD.accidents（16）A.upB.offC.alongD.down（17）A.luckyB.awakeC.calmD.stong（18）A.in timeB.at firstC.as usualD.for example（19）A.dustB.waterC.grassD.bush(20)A.tiredB.drunkC.lonelyzy三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Unit4 单元测试卷（名师）Unit 4Pygmalion单元测试(限时：90分钟)一、阅读理解AI stayed at DeWitt Place with my wife on our visit to Chicago. We booked as it offered a very reasonable rate for a fashionable and accessible part of the city. We were not disappointed — the location is brilliant for visitors in a safe and quiet side street just around the corner from the Hancock.— Sam SmithI can't believe I had never heard about DeWitt Place until recently. I found it only because of a Travelocity search of Chicago hotels to find a hotel in the city to stay at. This was my first time there, but I'll certainly return. The hotel is a few blocks away from North Michigan Avenue. It's in a quiet place.— Susan GreenMost members of the staff at DeWitt Place were not welcoming or helpful (only one of them was). Room was falling apart. The sink was not securely fixed to the wall. The fridge was incredibly loud. I won't return to it again.— Ted BrownThis is the second time I've stayed at DeWitt Place, and again I am satisfied with my two-night stay. The location and price are unbeatable. This place is very close to Michigan Avenue, only two blocks away. Everything is almost within walking distance.— Mary SmithWe stayed at DeWitt Place for five nights and it was great. The apartment was very roomy and clean. The beds were very good and the full kitchen was awesome. Much to my satisfaction, it is within easy walking distance to public transport, landmarks, shopping, dining and entertainment. It is nice to be able to have a walk along the lake, which is only one block away from the hotel.— Jennifer Green1. Susan Green first learned about DeWitt Place when she was ________.A. visiting a travel agencyB. checking in at the hotelC. looking for a hotel to stay atD. walking on North Michigan Avenue2. What's Mary Smith's opinion about DeWitt Place?A. It lacks beautiful views.B. Its staff are very helpful.C. Its apartments are very quiet.D. It offers very reasonable prices.3. Both Sam Smith and Jennifer Green think that DeWitt Place ________.A. can be easily foundB. is conveniently locatedC. has a clean environmentD. is a good place for a walkBImagine having to take more than 40 pills every day and never eating ice cream or other delicious food. Welcome to my life!In the spring of 2012, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a condition called IBD (炎性肠病). And I was shocked to learn that it doesn't have a cure.That autumn, things got even worse. My condition became so severe that I had to have three surgeries (手术) over the course of seven months to remove my colon (结肠). I was in a lot of pain afterward, but the surgeries helped prevent the disease from hurting me even more.While I was in the hospital, I was so weak that I had to lie in bed a lot to rest and sleep. But I was able to entertain myself by pulling_pranks_on the nurses. I'd say to them, “Have you seen Fluffy？” and they'd ask, “Who's Fluffy？” I'd be like, “It's my pet dog, and he's on the loose！”Animals weren't allowed in the hospital, so the serious look on their faces was priceless! After a few moments, I'd tell them I was only joking — and they'd smile.I know that a lot of the details about IBD are very unpleasant, but I don't focus on that part. If you try, you can see the funny side of everything. When I first started feeling better, I wasn't in good enough physical condition to play sports, but I wanted to do something. So I gathered the courage to try stand-up comedy during a local openmic night.I framed the way I lost my colon as if I were breaking up with it. I was like：“It's not you, it's me . . . I just think we want different things right now. I want to live. No, no, there's no other colon. ” I got huge laughs! And I've been performing stand­up regularly ever since.4. What do we know about IBD?A. It can be cured easily.B. There is no known cure for it.C. It takes a long time to be cured.D. There are some effective cures for it.5. The underlined part “pulling pranks on” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “________”.A. catching up withB. playing tricks onC. getting on well withD. making a good impression on6. The author's show about his colon turned out to be ________.A. very funnyB. quite boringC. pretty touchingD. kind of strange7. Which of the following words can best describe the author?A. Optimistic.B. Intelligent.C. Open-minded.D. Warm-hearted.CEvery morning, Mahoney wakes up wishing the last 10 years was a bad dream. It would still be August 28, 2005, in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. There would be no hurricane warnings. She would go to high school just like any other day.Instead, the young mom wakes up every day to see the box of ashes she keeps near her bed. After Hurricane Katrina, Mahoney held out hope for weeks that her dad had also evacuated (撤离) safely.But when Mahoney and her family finally returned to their house, they found her father's remains inside. Her dad had drowned. Since then, Mahoney has avoided going back to her childhood home, and, 10 years later, she says she doesn't know if shecould make it through each day if not for her own children. “They_say_time_heals_all_wounds”_she_says,_“but_I_don't_think_that's_true_in_ce rtain_cases. ”Even as communities have been rebuilt, Hurricane Katrina's influence on its child survivors lasts a decade. Hundreds of thousands of children were forced to leave their homes, schools and communities. Many had to stay in unsafe shelters and temporary housing conditions — sometimes separated from their families for weeks. Many witnessed death and lost loved ones. Injured children were routinely left without enough services to help them recover.Hurricane Katrina was a disaster for so many people and served as a wake-up call to the nation. However, our country is still ill-prepared to protect children from disasters. After the storm exposed a widespread neglect of children's needs in U. S. disaster planning, President George W. Bush created the National Commission on Children and Disasters to investigate the gaps and recommend a course of action.During the investigation, the commission examined whether children's unique protection needs were considered in eleven areas of disaster planning. We found that in every area, critical protections for children were absent. In our final 2010 report, we suggested that the government should ensure that children's needs are taken into consideration in the nation's disaster preparedness, response and recovery abilities.8. Mahoney avoids returning to her childhood home mainly because ________.A. there is nothing worthy of a visitB. her hometown is still being rebuiltC. she lost her father in that houseD. she hates to hear a hurricane warning9. How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?A. Mahoney doesn't have an optimistic attitude towards life.B. Mahoney can't recover herself from the death of her father.C. Mahoney can't forgive herself for all the mistakes she has made.D. Mahoney doesn't believe the government's efforts have made sense.10. The author writes paragraphs 4 & 5 mainly to ______.A. attract readers' attention and sympathyB. introduce another problem revealed by the disasterC. prove time can't help victims recover from the disasterD. criticize the government for its disability in dealing with disasters11. What did the commission find in the research?A. Children need parental care in natural disasters.B. Protection for children determines the future of a government.C. Hurricane Katrina has served as an urgent warning to the world.D. The government failed to protect children against natural disasters.DIf you make a list of the top ten most challenging jobs in the world, chances are that being a teacher will not make the cut. Let's think about the complex task millions of educators face each day as they try to teach a group of often unfriendly, disorderly kids into intelligent, well-rounded individuals. That surely has to be the toughest jobin the world, especially taking into consideration that there is no promotion waitingfor them even if they are wildly successful!What if these all-important individuals that we often take forgranted disappear from our lives? That was what Project Edand Participant Media's Teach campaign asked filmmakers ofall ages to envision (预想) for their recently-held contest.Their short films were called A World without Teachers,whose intention was to inspire more young people to become teachers. However, the 62 amazing video submissions also serve as a reminder of how terrible things would be if we didn't have these selfless individuals guiding us through life. What was interesting is that even the youngest contestants did not accept the idea that there's no person to tell them what to do.High-school student Savannah Wakefield considered if art as we know it today would have been different without teachers. Would C. Monet have discovered his talent for impressionism (印象主义)?Miles Horst won the 1,000-dollar prize for the best adult submission. He envisions a world where teachers are replaced by a “brain box”. Youth group winner Marina Barham's video describes a fact we all know but often forget. Teachers don't just teach; they inspire—something that no electronic device, no matter how smart, can do!So the next time you think your teacher is being “troublesome” for trying to channel you in the right direction, imagine a life without him/her.12. Project Ed and Participant Media's Teach asked contestants to ________.A. inspire more young people to become teachersB. point out which teacher has inspired them mostC. imagine what the world would be like without teachersD. describe what effect teachers would have on their life13. What is suggested in the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?A. Monet is regarded as the father of impressionism.B. Monet's great success was connected with his teacher.C. Monet's teachers made a great contribution to modern art.D. Monet was good at discovering his students' talent for drawing.14. What does Marina Barham's video tell us?A. Teachers prefer to inspire their students instead of teaching.B. The role of teachers cannot be replaced by anything else.C. The function of teachers cannot be forgotten by the world.D. Teachers often show the right direction to their students.15. The author's attitude towards the function of teachers is ________.A. negativeB. doubtfulC. neutralD. positive七选五As adolescents, having a great impact on the world may seem like an impossible task. Changing the world does not only mean finding a cure for cancer, or finding the origin of human beings, but also recycling some things as well. __16__Recycle.According to a report, 63 million newspapers go out to customers every day and of those 44 million are thrown away. __17__The age of technology constantly creates new phones, iPads, or new computers. Many people will stand in line for hours to get their hands on the new technology, but about 75% of the old devices sit in the back of a drawer collecting dust. By taking them to the local stores that collect them they go to people in need.__18__Here are some astonishing facts on going vegetarian (素食的) for only one day. The Environmental Defense concludes that if the entire population omitted (省去) one meal of chicken, the amount of carbon dioxide accumulated would be the sameamount as more than half a million cars are taken off the U. S. roads.Ditch (丢弃) bottled water.Most people drink bottled water because of the common conception that bottled water is healthier than regular tap water. __19__ All that is done extra is water going through a filter (过滤器). Companies do not need to list where they get the water from, how they purify the water, or what chemicals their plastic water bottles contain. __20__ It results in 1.5 million tons of plastic in landfill.Keep in mind what Margaret Mead once said，“Never doubt a small group of thoughtful and committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. ”A. Let's take action right now.B. Go vegetarian one day a week.C. Learn some astonishing facts.D. As a result, 90% of the plastic bottles do not get recycled.E. Actually, 25% of bottled water comes from regular tap water.F. Recycling the newspapers alone we could save half a million trees a week.G. What follows are three simple ways adolescents can go green and change the world.二. 完形填空When I was six years old, I broke my right arm.
