Calm.8.What can we infer from the passage?A.Catherine’s father got lost on the sea.B. Mrs.Smith does not love her husband.C. Johnson may be killed by the man.D. Catherine is fondof telling stories.COur environment isn’t as green and beautiful as it should be.T here are steel monsters(钢铁怪兽) blocking out the sun,blowing out dangerous smoke,and letting out poisonous chemicals into the rivers,cars producing harmful waste gas,people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet.Facing current environmental p roblems,people need to do their best to save the earth.You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets.They’re not there for a show,but for you to drop your waste.We should realize that what we do does count.So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window,or “accidentally” drop as you walk down the street,ask yourself how much waste you’ve been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.At home,the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid let ting water run continuously and make sure that taps(水龙头) are not leaky(漏的),which would help greatly in scrimping(节省).Another is to use energysaving lights,and turn them off before you leave the rooms.It is not only en ergysaving,but also cuts down electricity costs.Recycling is a method to make items reusable.Many things yo u want to throw out can be made into new products through th e reproducing e your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again.Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids.Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the messa ge early in their lives,in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older. With environmental protection awareness in mind,we can do what we can,for the results are to have a big effect on the planet.As long a s we do our part,the world is one small step closer to being saved.9.In the first paragraph the author uses “steel monsters” to de scribe_____ .A.big factoriesB.high mountainsC. huge buildingsD.characters in fairy stories10.From the fifth paragraph,we can know that ______. A. protecting the environment begins with small thingsB. protecting the environment should start from childhood C. wonderful life comes from environmental protection D. protecting the environment benefits the country and the p eople11.The passage is mainly about_______ .A. the use of garbage dustbinsB. how to save water and el ectricityC.our current environmental problemsD. how to save the e nvironmentDThe largest earthquake ( magnitude里氏9. 5) of the 20th century happened on May 22, 1960 off the co ast of South Central Chile.It generated(生成) one of the most destructive(毁坏性的) Pacific-wide tsunamis. Near the generating area, both the earthquake and the tsunami were very much destructive, particularly in th e coastal area from Concepcion to the south end of Isla Chilo e. The largest tsunami damage occurred at Isla Chiloe—the coastal area closest to the epicenter(震中). Huge tsunami waves measuring as high as 25 meters arri ved within 10 to 15 minutes after the earthquake, killing at least two hundred people, sinking all the boats, and flooding half a kilometer inland.There was large damage and loss of life at Concepcion, Chile' s top industrial city. Near the city of Valdivia, the earthquake a nd following aftershocks generated landslides which killed 18 people. At the port city of Valparaiso, a city of 200,000, many buildings collapsed. A total of 130,000 houses were destroyed —one in every three in the earthquake zone and nearly 2,000,0 00 people were left homeless.Total damage losses, including to agriculture and to industry, were estimated(估计) to be over a half billion dollars. The total number of death r elated with both the tsunami and the earthquake was never fo und accurately for the region. Estimates of deaths reached be tween 4,900 to 57,002 with no distinction as to how many dea ths werecaused by the earthquake and how many were cause d by the tsunami. However, it is believed that most of the deat hs in Chile were caused by the tsunami.12. Where did the largest tsunami damage occur? A.Concepcion. B.Valdivia. C.Isla Chiloe. D.Valparaiso 13.What can we learn about the tsunami waves generated by the earthquake?A. The tsunami waves as high as 25 meters arrived immedi ately after the earthquake.B. The tsunami waves killed 200 people and sank all boats. C. The tsunami waves were very destructive.D. The tsunami waves flooded half of the inland.14. What is the total number of deaths in the earthquake? A.2,000,000. B.Between 4, 900 to 57, 002.C.200,000. D .It was hard to know.15.

He said,“I want to be a successful person,like Alibaba's Ma Yun.”When Luo was a junior student,he had the idea of selling lanterns(灯笼)when he saw many people flying Chinese lanterns in a squ are.Luo bought some lanterns from a store,but the sales were not as good as he had expected.Then he f ound another way to do business.He bought lanterns on the I nternet at a very low price.Finally he easily made 5,000 yuan in two days.With a happy beginning,Luo planned to open a dress shop.“My parents didn't support me opening a dress shop,so I had to borrow 120,000 yuan for it.” Although he did market research before starti ng,the business wasn't very good because his taste in fashion w asn't accepted by customers.The shop eventually closed dow n after half a year.After experiencing a big loss,he decided to do something he was familiar with—selling painting tools.As a fine arts student,he knew the market.He convinced his friends to invest one mil lion yuan in his shop.With a good business mind and a lot of e ffort,the sales of the shop reached six million yuan in a year. Even though Luo is rich,he uses a cheap cell phone and does not wear luxury(奢华的)clothes.He has a simple lifestyle.“It isn't easy to make mon ey,so money should be used on something worthwhile,” he sai d.21.We can learn from the second paragraph that Luo's pare nts .A.asked him for money to pay the rentB.gave him some money to do businessC.advise him to pay more attention to his studies D.suggested that he work hard to get something 22.What is the right time order for the following events? a.Luo bought some lanterns from the store.b.Luo bought some lanterns on the Internet.c.Luo began selling painting tools.d.Luo opened a dress store.A.abcd B.abdc C.bacd D.cbad23.Why wasn't the dress shop successful?A.He had to prepare for his exam.B.The dresses he bought weren't of high quality.C.Customers didn't accept his taste in fashion.D.He didn't have enough money to buy beautiful dresses.BMost high school students would rather spend their summer vacations far away from the classroom.But Vineet Kosaraju a nd Nikhil Cheerla are choosing to go back to school,and this time they are the teachers.“I think it's really nice that I can help the community by spendi ng just a little bit of time every week helping just a few student s here and there try and learn programming,”Kosaraju said. Friends since they were young boys,Kosaraju and Cheerla always shared a love of computer scien ce.They learned the skills from their parents and school,but recognized that not all children have that chance.“Programming isn't taught in that many schools,especially low income(收入)schools,because there isn't that much money to support it,”Kosaraju said.So he and Cheerla developed“Math and Coding,”an aftersch ool program for kids of all ages to learn the basics of computer programming.Between applying for (申请)college and doing their own homework,the two boys now spend a few hours every week going to diff erent libraries teaching classes that cover everything from buil ding basic games to developing apps.The friends started the program a little over a year ago and alr eady,it's spread to more than a dozen libraries across the Bay Area in California.They are even training volunteers to teach these very same classes in other US states and Canada.Maryann Mitchell brought her 8yearold granddaughter,Gabriella,to a class on coding at the Alum Rock Library in San Jose,California.“It's a chance for her to learn,”Mitchell said.“It's the way of th e future,and it's a good way for her to get grounded and be ready for what the future holds.”“I think the most rewarding thing is having people come up an d thank you and say they really learned a lot from this class,”Cheerla said.“It doesn't get any better than that.”24.Why do the two boys return to the classroom during summer holidays?A.To improve their computer skills.B.To get some teaching experience.C.To raise money for local schools.D.To instruct kids in programming.25.What do we know about the program?A.It has a growing influence.B.It has been run for many years.C.It helps students apply for college.D.It trains teachers to work for libraries. 26.How can the class benefit Gabriella?A.It helps her prepare for the future.B.It encourages her to visit libraries.C.It allows her to make more friends.D.It's a chance to learn about the future. 27.What does the text mainly report?A.The great work of volunteers in the Bay Area. B.A library's important role in helping students. C.Two teens' free coding course for children. D.The close friendship between two students.CIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams,the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life,but manners on the road are becoming horrible.Everybody kn ows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind th e wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage,but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter altogethe r.Road politeness is not only good manners,but good sense too.It takes the most coolheaded drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to fa ce rude driving.On the other hand,a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possi bility of quarrelling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of tha nks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmos phere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic co nditions.But such behaviours of politeness are by no means e nough.Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recog nize politeness when they see it.However,misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.Typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrongplace into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to s top in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.It always amaz es me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.An experienced driver,whose manners are faultless,told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unple asant feelings.Unfortunately,modern drivers can't even learn to drive,let alone master the roadmanship.Years ago,experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more giveandtake from all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart. 28.According to the passage,troubles on the road are often caused by .A.road conditions B.the speed of modern life C.the behaviour of the drivers D.the large number of c ars29.In the writer's opinion,.A.drivers should avoid traffic jamsB.strict traffic rules are badly neededC.unskillful drivers should be punishedD.drivers should show road politeness properly30.The underlined word “giveandtake” in the 4th paragraph probably means .A.politeness and impolitenessB.good manners and bad mannersC.offering help to others as much as possible D.willingness of each person to give in to each other's wishe s31.What is the best title of the passage?A.Road PolitenessB.Traffic ProblemsC.Bad Manners on the RoadD.Good Drivers and Bad DriversDI've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by h er chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I deci ded that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different thing s for my sister and brother. "But the desk," she said again, "is for Elizabeth."I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved m e; she showed in action. But as a young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was " too emotional (易动感情的)". But she lived "on the surface (表面)".As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose th at she did forgive me.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, fina lly, peace - it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sur e that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.But the present of her desk told me, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I c leaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside - a p hoto of my father and a one-paper letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter."In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act th at speaks louder than words."32.The passage shows that_________.A.Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to he r daughterB.Mother was too serious about her daughter in words C.Mother wrote to her daughter in careful wordsD.Mother wrote to her daughter in careless words33.The underlined word "gulf" in the passage means_______ .A.deep understanding between the old and the youngB.different ideas between mother and daughterC.free talks between mother and daughterD.part of the sea going far in land34.What did Mother do with her daughter's letter asking for f orgiveness?A.She had never received the letter.B.For years, she often talked about the letter.C.She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D.She read the letter again and again till she died.35.What's best title of the passage?A.My letter to Mother B.Mother and childrenC.My Mother's Desk D.Talks between Mother and me七选五Three Apples changed the world.

I remember going to the homeless shelter to 53 the toys to as many kids as I could give. One of the children looked at me with his innocent eyes. I could see the 54 in them.

AAround four years ago, I received a call from the principal of our school as to the “Parents View” talk the next morning. He asked me to speak to the group. After the call, my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night, I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally, I gathered some courage. I thought, “If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”I reached the school in time. Before my turn came, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasn’t even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness, Public Speaking.After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone. Even great speaker, faced the same things when they started. He suggested that I come again next time.Around one month later, I was invited to refer to a topic on Motivation. This time I was feeling comfortable. My speech was not only appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers, because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged and praised my efforts.After delivering is successfully, I became more confident .l said to myself, “If I can speak in front of such a learned audience, like the principal who educates others, I can now speak in front of others too.”I started delivering lectures in my plant, on various topics like Self Motivation, Personality Development, Personal Excellence, Spoken English and Presentation Skills. This has become a passion for me. I learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.21.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Practice Makes a Man a Better SpeechmakerB. Public Speaking Makes a Man Embarrassed.C. Principal Provides the Best Chances.D. Spoken English Develops in Making Speeches.22.The author had bad feelings before the speech because______.A. he disliked the idea of giving a lectureB. he had got a high fever before thatC. he regretted accepting the invitationD. he feared he couldn't perform it properly23. What does the underlined part “ominous apprehensions” in the first paragraph mean?A. Unlucky opportunities.B. Negative ideas.C. Curious views.D. Happy comments.BBuilding a company website is one of the most important parts of creating a successful business.But designing a website can be time consuming and expensive.Web designers are difficult towork with,and even though you’re paying them.There are cheaper ways to establish your company online,and Wix.com stands out among them.Wix.com offers free HTML5 and Flash website design that you can do on your own,without having to pay for a pricey web designer.With unlimited space foras many pages as you want,customized looks,photo galleries,and blog platform capabilities,social networking buttons,Wix has everything a business of any size needs to make an impact online.You get full control over what information fills in the blanks,and you don’t ha ve to know a thing about HTML to make this work.The way your website looks says a lot about your company.Wix does that,and it does it for free.Another thing that makes Wix the most affordable option in creating a website is that you don’t have to pay for a separate web host—every page created on Wix is hosted on Wix,free of charge.The Internet is the marketplace of ideas:your company needs to share what you think.If you think just because you don’t sell a product online you don’t need a website,you’re dead ly wrong.No matter what kind of business you have,if you want to reach an audience,you want to have a website that speaks to people, Wix lets you do that as quickly and easily as possible for free.If you have a bigger budget,Wix has more options than just the free website design. You can choose to upgrade(升级)to the ad-less version which won’t fill up your customer’s screens when they visit your site.But if the most important thing to you is getting your company’s name online right now,try Wix.com today.24.Wix.com is meant to _____________.A.sell products on the InternetB.attract more customers onlineC.build a company’s website cheapD.collect any possible information25.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.Ways of finding free service.B.Advantages of Wix.com.C.Skills of creating websites.D.Tricks of running a company.26.If you create a company website on Wix,you ____________.A.have to be a good web designerB.won’t do it easily and quicklyC.can share ideas with customersD.must upgrade to the ad-less version27.What’s the purpose of the text?A.To teach a budget lesson.B.To make an advertisement.C.To present a website design.D.To introduce a new business.CMany people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometown behind. Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.One of the first considerations may be finance. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choicejust for financial reasons.Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college. Distance from home may also come into consideration. If family is a top priority, that person should stay close to home; on the other hand, if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate.School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want to get to know your teachers, a small college is suitable. For those of you who consider yourself a “ people person” and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.Crucially, one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an above-average student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.28.When it comes to going to college the author thinks ________.A. financial situation is the first to considerB. students are unwilling to leave their homeC. students will become homesickD. students are eager to attend their ideal university29.What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. Students can be independent at college.B. A long distance will make students upset.C. The location of the college is a main factor.D. The climate must be taken into consideration.30.What does the underlined part “people person” in the passage mean?A. A person of great capacity.B. A very particular person.C. A very sociable person.D. A person of great importance.31. What can we learn about an Ivy League school from the last paragraph?A.An Ivy League school is probably suitable for top students.B.An Ivy League school provides few challenge for the students.C.An Ivy League school is a perfect college for all students.D.An Ivy League school only accepts above-average students.DPeople in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver. Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida, Nevada and California. They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road. The high-tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars,which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August. Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020.In September, California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state. " Today we're looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality-the driverless car. " The technology for these cars includes cameras, radar and motion sensors. The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U. S. government agency DARPA. Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races.Cars have become much more fuel-efficient, and new electronic features are' making Hondas safer, said Angie Nucci of Honda America. " A camera on the passenger-side mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes. " Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars. These systems help drivers , but don't replace them. Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer."By taking out drivers, you also remove most risks of an accident," Kendall said. He said consumers, however, may be unwilling to lose control. "It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable, but it will have to prove itself first. "Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands ofdollars to something more affordable. He said this will happen as the technology is improved.32.According to the passage, California Governor Jerry Brown .A. is for the idea of having driverless carsB. sponsored the DARPA competition to improve the driverless systemC. has already bought a new autonomous carD. thinks that driving safety is the most important issue in his state.33.What is the role of the systems mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. They can help cars run much faster.B. They can take the place of drivers now.C. They can make cars run without fuel.D. They can help people drive more safely.34.In kendall’s opinion, who probably don’t rely on the driverless cars at first?A. Managers in the high-tech company like googleB. Officers from the U.S government agency DARPAC. Car consumersD. Vehicle designers35. According to Richard Mason, what is the biggest challenge for driverless cars?A. They need to have more comfortable seats.B. They are now too expensive for consumers.C. They are travelling at a low speed.D. They are not favored by car racers..第二节(共五小题:每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

单元综合测评(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)AAustralia has passed regulations that will enable more international students to further their cation in the country. The new measures were released by the Australian Department of Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations in September.As a result, the student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified, and the deposit (押金) required to study in Australia has been rced. Language requirements for overseas students have also been eased.Also, overseas students receiving a higher cation in Australia will be granted a working visa lasting from two to four years after graduation, as long as they meet the basic IELTS requirement.“This change will definitely make Australia a more attractive destination for Chinese students planning to study overseas,”says Wang Lan, a consultant from Education International Cooperation Group (EIC), a Beijingbased company that provides services to students wishing to study overseas.However, in the past few years, many of Wang's student clients (客户) could not start studies in Australia because they did not meet the language requirements. Visa processingtook a long time and deposit regulations were tough. The change in policy is good news for the parents of students wishing to study in Australia, Wang says.A 22yearold female student surnamed Li, in Beijing, who is planning to do her postgraduate studies in Australia, learned about the policy change several weeks ago.“According to the previous deposit requirement for my student visa, my family was required to put down 550,000 yuan ($86,850) . Now we only need to prepare 410,000 yuan. This is a relief for my parents,” Li says.She also says that the two to four years working visa makes her feel much clearer about her study plans.“I believe several years of working experience abroad will strengthen my competitiveness when I return to China,” she says. Gaining a competitive advantage is the major reason for Chinese students to study abroad, according to the report by EIC.【语篇解读】这是一篇时文阅读材料。

【答案】 ABHilversum is a mediumsized city between the major cities of Amsterdam and Utrecht in the Gooi area of North Holland,the Netherlands.Unlike most of the Netherlands,Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand.Once called the Garden of Amsterdam,it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surroundingforests.They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness.For Dutch people,Hilversum is all about textile(纺织) and media industries,and modern architecture.In history,Hilversum was largely an agricultural area.Daily life was marked by farming,sheep raising and wool production.A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum.They built themselves large villas(别墅) in the wooded surroundings of the town.One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers,currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands.They moved in after big success in the textile industry and aided a substantial textile industry in Hilversum.But the textile boom lasted only several decades.The last factory closed in the 1960s.The change to a media economy started in 1920,when the Nederlandse Seintoestellen Fabriek(NSF) established a radio factory in Hilversum.Most radio stations settled in the large villas in the leafy areas of the town.Television gave another push to the local economy.Hilversum became the media capital of the Netherlands,and Dutch television stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town.In the early 1900s,modern architects W.M.Dudok and J.Duiker placed hundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum.These modern architectural masterpieces (杰作) are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum.Dudok alone shaped most of 20th century Hilversum andapproximately 75 buildings still bear his unique characteristics.His masterpiece,Hilversum Town Hall,was built in 19281931.It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks.The building has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination of “blocks”.Actually,one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the W.M.Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。
