高中英语学习材料（灿若寒星*制作整理）Book 6 Unit 4 Global warming 单元测试第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A★★☆☆☆Known as the world’s first-ever cloned camel, Injaz was born in Dubai on April 8, 2009. Injaz’s real mother was killed in an acc ident in 2005, but scientists saved the DNA and injected it into an empty egg cell (卵细胞) of Injaz’s new mother. With camel racing being big business in Dubai, such a breakthrough means a lot.Carbon Copy or Cc surprised everyone when she was born. For a start she had a grey stripe (条纹) running down her white back whereas her real mother, Rainbow, sported more of a gold and brown style. Then, when Cc started to play, she was found to be rather playful. Rainbow, however, had always been shy and disinterested.Born on July 7, 1999, Daisy was cloned from a 13-year-old cow named Aspen. Scientists had often worried that cloning the DNA of an elderly animal would result in health problems for the newborn animal. But Daisy proved doubters wrong when she was able to give birth naturally two years later.Dewey became the world’s first-ever cloned deer when he was born on May 23, 2003 at the College of Veterinary Medicine in Texas. Dewey is a white-taileddeer and became the fifth animal the college had successfully cloned, the others being a pig, cattle, goats and a cat.Little Idaho Gem celebrated a double when he was born in May 2003 becoming both the world’s first cloned mule (骡) and the world’s fir st clone connected to the horse family. Financed by a wealthy mule-racing person, Idaho Gem, along with another cloned mule, Idaho Star, was sent to a trainer for a successful career on the track.In October 2005 two wolves in Korea were successfully cloned to avoid extinction. Snuwolf and Snuwolffy were born in the Seoul Zoo. Unfortunately Snuwolf died in August 2009 from an infection which had absolutely nothing to do with the cloning process according to the scientists.21. Both Injaz and Idaho Gem _____.A. were born in a college in TexasB. lost their mother in an accidentC. have something to do with sportsD. have suffered serious health problems22. Why were people surprised at Carbon Copy?A. Her tail was much longer than her mother’s.B. She didn’t look or act exactly like her real mother.C. She didn’t show any interest in the other cats.D. Her back was much brighter than her mother’s.23. What can we learn about Snuwolf?A. It died of a heart attack in August 2009.B. It lived in the Seoul Zoo for eight years.C. It gave birth to two healthy baby wolves.D. It is a kind of animal in danger of dying out.24. Where can we most probably read this text?A. In a science report.B. In a personal diary.C. In a travel magazine.D. In a geography textbook.B★★★☆☆A tiny village in Guatemala is now in great need of garbage. Elsewhere in San Pablo, the Philippines, the locals have nearly exhausted all the available supply of plastic bottles at the dump. Both of them are looking for interesting ways of using these materials.In Guatemala, it all began with a volunteer, Laura Kutner, who wanted to help the village of Granados rebuild their dangerous school building. As there was no concrete (混凝土), Kutner and the village set about finding creative ideas with local resources.Trashed plastic bottles formed the inside of the school’s walls. The bottles were filled with useless plastic bags to give them strength, and wrapped together into blocks by using wire (金属丝). A thin coat of cement and paint gave the finishing touch to the walls.Finding the material to fill 6,000 bottles required for building the school was really not that easy. Each student had to find and fill at least 20 bottles with plastic bags. The process took many months and in the meanwhile, the kids cleaned up the hillsides so thoroughly that they started running out of garbage and had to go to neighboring villages.Meanwhile in San Pablo, people gathered as many plastic bottles as they could find, and then used them to build themselves a completely new school. Filled with adobe (砖坯), these bottles are actually about three times stronger than concrete, maki ng this “bottle school” quite a strong building and much cheaper.Glass bottles form the windows while flattened juice cases make the school’s roof (屋顶). PVC pipes between the bottles serve as air vents (通风口), and reduce the need for electric fans inside the classroom. Architect Illac Diaz is the person behind this amazing project which includes a plan to build 8 classrooms and a library.While plastic bottles have been a convenient invention, poor recycle practices have made them the fastest growing source of garbage on our planet. Luckily, working models in Guatemala and the Philippines are being reproduced in many parts of the world.25. When the school in Granados was rebuilt, _____.A. all materials were ready in a few weeksB. plastic bottles played an important roleC. more than 6,000 students came to helpD. a great amount of concrete was used26. What can we learn about the new school in San Pablo?A. It cost more money than expected.B. It is completely made of plastic bottles.C. It is equipped with many electric fans.D. It used adobe to fill the bottles.27. Which best describes the author’s attitude in the text?A. Positive.B. Dissatisfied.C. Cautious.D. Worried.28. What would be the best title for the text?A. No bottles, no schoolsB. The different uses of recycled bottlesC. Your plastic bottles, children’s futureD. How plastic bottles ruin the environmentC★★★☆☆Mrs. Herrick and Mr. Gosnell have known each other for more than 35 years and have been out fishing together more than 500 times.The ordeal (苦难经历) for Mr. Gosnell and fishing partner Colleen Herrick began when their boat hit something in the Hauraki Gulf on May 26, 2009. After the 4.8 m boat sank in 10 to 15 seconds, Mr. Gosnell decided to swim back to get help to Mrs. Herrick, who was holding on to its side. Mr. Gosnell, 42, said it was Mrs. Herrick’s calmness that saved their lives.“The last pocket of air in the nose of the boat was almost gone, wi th both of us holding on. But Colleen remained amazingly calm. We made the decision that because I was the stronger swimmer, I should go for help.”He swam against the water for more than an hour, broke two toes and ran on rocks to get help to save a drowning friend. Meanwhile, Mrs. Herrick, 53, said she counted stars and thought of her eight grandchildren. “I wasn’t afraid because I knew Mr. Gosnell,” Mrs. Herrick said.Mrs. Herrick was eventually found and picked up just over an hour after the boat sank. She was soon taken by ambulance to Middlemore Hospital. “When they came back and I asked if she had been found alive — they said yes — I just broke down. All that had been worth it,” Mr. Gosnell said.Eleven days before, on May 15, a Cornishman who saved a girl from a swimming pool on his wedding day has been called a hero by his wife.Todd Sweeney was preparing for the wedding ceremony when he saw a girl lying on the bottom of a swimming pool. The 40-year-old dived into the pool and resuscitated the teenager, who was believed to have suffered a heart attack. The youngster, who was part of a group from London, had turned blue. Three hours after saving the girl, who made a full recovery, Mr. Sweeney and his fiancée (未婚妻) Heather Bowden got married.29. On May 26, 2009, Mrs. Herrick _____.A. almost lost her life in the Hauraki GulfB. had a good harvest when fishing with Mr. GosnellC. counted stars with her eight grandchildren in a boatD. found Mr. Gosnell wasn’t the man she had known30. Which of the following can best describe Mr. Gosnell?A. Helpful but proud.B. Strict but friendly.C. Caring and reliable.D. Honest and generous.31. By saying “resuscitated the teenager”, the author means _____.A. Todd Sweeney stopped the teenager swimmingB. Todd Sweeney asked the teenager to calm downC. Todd Sweeney taught the teenager how to swimD. Todd Sweeney brought the teenager back to life32. What can we learn from the two stories?A. Fishing does the old a lot of good.B. Water is heartless, but humans are not.C. It is dangerous for children to swim alone.D. It is important to mind your own business.D★★★☆☆Plastic surgery (整形手术) can be a money-making career choice for someone who wants the ability to make others more beautiful and offer life-saving techniques to address burns and extreme deformations (畸形). However, there are advantages and disadvantages in becoming a plastic surgeon.Plastic surgeons are among the highest paid medical professionals. According to the Health Care Training Center website, plastic surgeons with one to two years of experience bring home an average of $237,000 per year. Those with three or more years of experience bring home an average of $412,000 per year, and plastic surgeons with several years under their belts may earn around $812,000 per year.Plastic surgeons often get to sculpt entire faces or parts of the body. It is one of the more creative fields of medicine, as they are able to use their skills to shape skin and bones, especially when the work is done on someone in need, such as a burn victim or a child born with a deformed face. The ability to make vast changes in the way people view themselves is a rewarding highlight of this career.Plastic surgeons must undergo quite a bit of schooling and strict certification (认定) processes before they are able to practice medicine. The schooling process is lengthy and costly, considering plastic surgeo ns must get a bachelor’s degree and then attend medical school. Upon graduating from medical school, plastic surgeons must then do five to six years of residency (住院医生实习期). Once they enter the field professionally, many choose to become certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, which offers credibility as a plastic surgery professional.Although plastic surgeons can do a lot for those who wish to look better, they are still sometimes respected less because of the work they do. Plastic surgeons work with men and women who want to make changes in their faces and bodies for vanity (虚荣) purposes. Because of the serious nature of any surgery, other surgeons may look down on plastic surgeons willing to work with patients taking such a serious risk for beauty.33. The second paragraph is mainly about plastic surgeons’ _____.A. incomeB. work experienceC. creativityD. social position34. According to the text, plastic surgeons _____.A. pay little for their educationB. attend medical school right after high schoolC. put great effort into their careerD. work as professionals right after graduation35. Why are plastic surgeons looked down upon sometimes?A. They are concerned only about their personal vanities.B. They don’t show enough respect for other surgeons.C. They are helping those who are fond of show.D. They are not of professional standard.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

contest badly．In honor of the spelling contest，Mark finally agreed to a haircut．Before he changed his mind，I quickly took him to the barbershop．I used to find various prizes，like a weekend trip or a new music CD，to get him there every time his hair was long．“Make it a lucky cut，”I instructed barber Joe．“Mark is competing in an important spelling contest next week．”“Well，did you do your homework？”barber Joe asked．“Yes，”Mark replied．“Did you study hard？”barber Joe asked．“Yes，”Mark replied．“Do you have confidence？”barber Joe asked．“Confidence．C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-C-E．Confidence．A lot of people spell that word wrong，”Mark explained．“Sure．You can spell it，”barber Joe responded．“But do you have it？You have got to have confidence in yourself，son．It's a winner's secret weapon（武器）．”Mark won the spelling contest and got the prize—a free pizza lunch．And Mark never forgot barber Joe's words：“You have got to have confidence in yourself，son．It's a winner's secret weapon．”Decades later，after becoming famous for his special design in buildings, Mark began receiving interview requests．When he discussed his design approach with one particular feature writer，the reporter asked him a question，“You're considered as a special one in the world of architecture．When everyone around says it can't be done，what makes you think you can pull it off？”After thinking a bit，Mark replied，“Confidence．After I've done my homework，and studied my idea from every possible angle，if I still see it then I know the only thing standing between me and success is confidence．It's a winner's secret weapon．”36．What can we infer about little Mark from the passage?A．He didn't take his study seriously．B．He didn't like to have his hair cut．C．He was not good at spelling．D．He was a kid with few hobbies or interests．37．What was the prize for the winner of the spelling contest?A．A new music CD．B．A free haircut．C．A free weekend trip．D．A free pizza lunch．38．What does Mark do now?A．An architect．B．An engineer．C．A barber．D．A reporter．39．From the passage，we can learn ______．A．the author was worried about Mark's studyB．the barber's words have influenced Mark greatlyC．Mark stopped doing his homework to prepare for the spelling contestD．Mark turned to many people for help to succeed in the spelling contest40．The passage is written to ______．A．honor a person who influences Mark greatlyB．prove the great power of others' encouragementC．say a person needs confidence to succeedD．say childhood experience can greatly affect a personBIn 2008 and 2009 I published two articles researching a lull（停歇）in solar activity．At the time，there appeared to be some disagreement among scientists as to what effect this might have on human-caused global warming．Now climate scientists agree a less active sun won't have much of an effect．According to the reports from the IPCC，global climate is expected to warm between 4 and 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the year 2100．On the other hand，scientists show that the reduction in radioactive forcing（辐射力）due to low solar activity would reduce world temperature half a degree F if the lull in solar activity lasted until the end of the 21st century．It is highly unlikely the current lull in solar activity would have such a long period．“It is more likely that a new lull in so lar activity would reduce the global temperature average of 0．2 Celsius by the end of 2100，”commented Professor Stefan Rahmstorf，who was responsible for a study of a lull in solar activity effects on climate at the Institute for Research on the Impacts of Climate Change in Potsdam．In short，this small forcing is likely to have little，if any，observable effect on human-caused global warming，at most reducing the temperature increase to between 3．5 and 9．5 degrees F．The reason for the small effect on temperature is due to the fact that the difference between solar activity highs and lows changes solar output by less than one half of one percent．So the difference in the amount of energy coming out of the sun between solar highs and lows isn't very large．The result is that the human forcing on climate is many times larger than that caused by any natural difference in the sun．Generally if human-caused climate change isn't controlled it can't be stopped by natural changes in the sun．41．What once caused the argument among scientists?A．The reduction in world temperature．B．That humans are responsible for global warming．C．That humans are stronger than nature．D．Whether the lull in solar activity has effect on human-caused global warming．42．According to scientists，world temperature would fall a little if ______．A．less CO2 is given offB．more trees are plantedC．radioactive forcing becomes strongD．the lull in solar activity lasts a long period43．What can we learn from the passage?A．The author is expert at writing science fiction．B．The current lull in solar activity will last very long．C．The power of humans is stronger than the sun on global warming．D．The IPCC reported that world temperature would fall greatly．44．What do the underlined words“climate change”refer to?A．The flood．B．Global warming．C．The earthquake．D．Global environmental change．45．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．The effect of global warming．B．An argument among scientists．C．That humans are a cause of global warming．D．That a less active sun cannot stop global warming．Ⅳ．七选五阅读根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AEco-friendly Car RacerCan you image a car racer is so eco-friendly that its tyres are made from potatoes, its body is created from hemp (大麻) and rapeseed oil and it runs on fuel made from wheat and sugar beet? The one-seater racing car called Eco One is built by experts from Warwick University, who hope that Eco One will be adopted by the automotive industry. It is sold at ￡41,000.Pollution-sensitive DressDon’ t be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air. The pollution-sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly. This dress —which is actually quite pretty — looks like you pull it from the bottom of the dirty laundry pile when the air is dirty. It might protect your health by advising you to stay indoors for the day, but it won’ t do you any favor if you’ re meeting with clients.Eco-friendly UmbrellaTraditional umbrellas e with a fixed surface. Although it’ s changeable, you cannot replace it easily. This eco-friendly design is more flexible. It’ s actually only an umbrella skeleton without any surface, which can be folded, so you can put anything such as newspapers, plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface.Eco-friendly Moss (苔藓) CarpetIt’ s said that walking on fresh grass increases your blood circulation. The Moss Carpet, created by Nguyen La Chanh, looks at getting the grass to your feet. The mat includes ball moss, island moss and forest moss. The humidity (湿度) of the bathroom makes sure that it grows well. And that’ s why you need to place it there and not anywhere else.语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四款环保型科技产品。

A★★☆☆☆There are a number of sports writers who are now widely regarded as some of the best sports journalists of our time. Here are five of the most well-known sports writers.Rick Reilly of Sports IllustratedRick Reilly became famous as the back page columnist (专栏作家) for Sports Illustrated magazine. Then he moved to ESPN in 2008 and began working as a columnist for their website — . Now he has his own show with ESPN, and he also contributes articles to ABC sports.Bob Ryan of The Boston GlobeBob Ryan rose through the ranks thanks to his skill and knowledge about basketball. He very soon became known as a guru of the sport, writing an impressively large number of articles about The Boston Celtics — a National Basketball Association (NBA) team based in Boston, Massachusetts.John Feinstein of The Washington PostJohn Feinstein is primarily a columnist with The Washington Post but during his long career he has published two best-selling sports books A Good Walk Spoiled andA Season on the Brink. He is a regular with the Golf Channel and has a very popular blog called Feinstein on the Brink.Joaquin Henson of The Philippine StarJoaquin Henson started out his sports journalism career in 1973 and became popular through his column Sporting Chance, which has been published in The Philippine Star since the 80’s. He has given a number of catchy nicknames to some of the most famous sporting stars of our time.William Rhoden of The New York TimesApart from being a columnist with The New York Times since the 80’s, William Rhoden is a respected sports journalist known for his two books Forty Million Dollar Slaves and Third and a Mile. Both books deal with the problems that face black athletes in the field of sport.21.

What would be the best title for the text?A. Useful tips for a sports journalistB. How to be a newspaper columnistC. Newspapers that influence us a lotD. Famous and popular sports writersB★★★☆☆Known as the first blind person to top Mount Qomolangma, Erik Weihenmayer once worked as a middle school teacher. Actually, Weihenmayer began to lose his sight when he was a teenager. Rather than focus on things that he could not do, like playing baseball, driving a car or riding a bike, Weihenmayer began to focus on things he could do and could do well. As a natural athlete, he then became interested in rock climbing, and always imagined what it would be like standing on top of the world.One day, Weihenmayer decided to climb Mount McKinley, the highest mountain in North America. He prepared for the climb by repeatedly running up and down the stairs in a 50-story building while wearing a 70-pound backpack. When the time approached for him and his friends to climb Mount McKinley, some small changes had to be made for Weihenmayer. He found that by attaching small bells to the climber ahead of him,he could confidently follow without having to ask for directions. At last, Weihenmayer made it safely up Mount McKinley and back down again.Then Weihenmayer went on to climb Mount Qomolangma. Many people thought it was too dangerous and foolish even to try. Others questioned how safe his climbing partners would feel. They wondered what Weihenmayer could do if his partners were in jeopardy. Actually, during the climb there was a time when he and a partner were caught in the dark when their headlights failed. It was Weihenmayer who led his partner to safety, because he was the better climber in the dark.These days, when Weihenmayer is not climbing, he speaks to audiences across the country. He encourages them to work toward their goals no matter what difficulties may come their way. He talks to people both blind and sighted about leadership, motivation and teamwork. According to Weihenmayer, “A vision (憧憬) is deeper than a goal; it’s where all your goals spring from.”25. According to the text, Erik Weihenmayer _____.A. chose to go climbing after he lost his sightB. is the first blind person to climb Mount QomolangmaC. has dreamed of becoming a teacher since youngD. likes playing baseball, driving a car and riding a bike26. Paragraph 2 is mainly about _____.A. the dangers found on Mount McKinleyB. how bells lead the way for blind peopleC. how Weihenmayer prepared for climbingD. Weihenmayer’s climb up Mount McKinley27. Which of the following can best describe Weihenmayer?A. Generous and friendly.B. Strict but caring.C. Brave and determined.D. Unlucky but smart.28. What does the last sentence of the text imply?A. Think twice before you take action.B. Imagination means a lot to success.C. A goal is not always meant to be reached.D. A vision is just a picture of what could be.C★★★★☆As a large, deep, freshwater lake in the Scottish Highlands, Loch Ness is best known for the so-called sightings of the mysterious Loch Ness monster (怪物). For many years it has been supposed that there is a large dinosaur-like monster in Loch Ness. However, several scientific studies have been conducted and these have not shown any presence of such a monster. Many people believe that the size (21 square miles) and great depth of the lake (almost 800 feet), together with possible underwater caves, gives the monster many places to hide. Regardless of the truth, the suggestion of the monster’s existence makes Loch Ness one of Scotland’s top tourist attractions.Loch Ness is the second largest Scottish lake by surface area after Loch Lomond, but as for its depth it is the largest by volume (容量). Its deepest point is 230m (754 feet), deeper than the height of London’s BT (British Telecom) Tower at 189m(620 feet) and deeper than any other lake besides Loch Morar. It contains more fresh water than all lakes in England and Wales combined, and is the largest body of water on the Great Glen geologic fault (大峡谷断层) which runs from Inverness in the north to Fort William in the south. The Caledonian Canal, which connects the sea at either end of the fault, uses Loch Ness for part of its route. It is one of a series of interconnected, dark bodies of water in Scotland; its water visibility (能见度) is extremely low because of a high peat (泥煤) content in the surrounding soil.The only island on Loch Ness is Cherry Island, visible at its southwestern end, near Fort Augustus. It is a crannog, which is a form of artificial island. (Most crannogs were constructed during the Iron Age.) At Drumnadrochit is the Loch Ness Exhibition Centre which explores the mystery through the natural history of Loch Ness. Traveling on ships for pleasure is now available, and it gives visitors the chance to look for the monster. And there are more tourist attractions where the whole family can relax and have fun.29. What can we learn about the Loch Ness monster?A. It has moved to live in a nearby lake.B. It looks much bigger than a dinosaur.C. It was once found in an underwater cave.D. Whether or not it exists is still unknown.30. According to the text, Loch Ness _____.A. is the second deepest lake after Loch MorarB. is the largest freshwater lake in EuropeC. has only existed for over one centuryD. has a depth of more than 800 feet31. What will the author most probably talk about next?A. Why there was a monster in Loch Ness.B. What people can do on Cherry Island.C. Where people can enjoy themselves.D. How Loch Ness came into being.32. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to _____.A. discussB. introduceC. educateD. persuadeD★★★★☆Is cursive writing (草写体) an out-of-date skill in today’s technological society? The new education standards for English do not require cursive. However, schools are still allowed to teach cursive if they choose. Some schools are considering giving up cursive, since it is not on standardized tests. This topic is now being discussed in teacher lunchrooms around the country. We invited some inspired teachers to weigh in. Here’s what one of them, Eldra Avery, has to say.I failed a handwriting assignment in eighth grade, but my teacher told me that I was well able to have that type of handwriting. So I improved my handwriting and now have beautiful cursive handwriting. I teach English, and at times I ask my students to do assignments in cursive. Since they will be taking timed writing exams throughout their educational career, it is necessary that they practice writing ata speed that will allow them to finish their task. When you have three letters connected in a word, it flows, and when you lift your pen only at the end of a word, it is faster than printing (印刷体), which lifts the pen at the completion of each letter.Handwriting is a reflection (反映) of our humanity. We dream of a future with more advanced technology and less labor, but truthfully, if technology prevents us from using skills that are essentially human, I wonder if that can be called “progress.” Cursive connects us to our past and our future. If students can’t write cursive, they can’t read cursive. And if they can’t read cursive, how can they read historical papers like the Declaration of Independence?Writing cursive is a process that helps improve language learning. Copying text by hand does a lot of good to students. My students complete a poetry analysis paper each year. Many of them tell me that they couldn’t begin to understand their poem until they copied it by hand. Handwriting is a valuable communication tool. Communication through handwriting will always be a necessity. To imagine that the whole world communicates by typing would be a rather poor view.33. According to Paragraph 1, teachers are discussing _____.A. whether cursive should be taughtB. whether students should read cursiveC. how to look at handwriting assignmentsD. how to improve stude nts’ cursive writing34. Why does Ms. Avery mention her students in the last paragraph?A. To show the positive side of handwriting.B. To introduce an effective learning method.C. To show the importance of copying poems.D. To share her first-hand teaching experience.35. Ms. Avery would probably agree that _____.A. handwriting should be replaced by typingB. there should be fewer standardized testsC. cursive is more effective than printingD. cursive helps us learn about the future第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
