This accident was sudden and certainly unexpected. We sometimes take our loved ones for granted, and we expect that they will be with us forever. However, as we all know, life does not work that way and sometimes we get a wake-up call that shocks us and realize how short life is.In order to comfort her, I tried to imagine if I was in her shoes how I would feel. It was impossible to imagine what she was going through. What words do I say to help her？Sometimes words just cannot express our feelings. Sometimes our actions are much more meaningful than words. A hug can sometimes express more than our words will ever express. Sometimes, just being there to listen is more meaningful and helpful to people.As I was leaving the funeral parlor（殡仪馆）, I ran into Marilyn. She is one of those friends who is with you in the good times and is always by your side in the bad times. She has a sense of humor that makes everyone feel at ease. We chatted for a few moments, and then she asked me how my job was. I was tellingher that I was having a stressful week with my job. She listened to me, then without saying a word, she took her hands and placed them on my face, and said to me, “But at least you have a day.”Since that day, when I start feeling stressed, I remind myself of Marilyn’s words-but at least I have a day! Things could be a lot worse, but I am alive and I have a lot to be thankful for-so I shall not waste my days with stress and frustrations-life is too short.1.The author was most likely to comfort her friend by .A.saying many kind words to her friendB.imagining how sad her friend wasC.listening to her friend sincerelyD.going through a lot of troubles2.According to the author, Marilyn was .A.strong, honest and cleverB.positive, helpful and humorousC.lucky, active and determinedD.wealthy, noble and friendly3.By saying “But at least you have a day”, Marilyn means that .A.a day is long enough for youB.you will die soon after the dayC.life is really too short for all of usD.you are still alive and should be grateful4.Since the conversation, the author .A.has thought highly of MarilynB.has valued her life quite a lotC.has met with many difficultiesD.has enjoyed stress and troubles三、语法填空Over the past half century, using chemical fertilizers1 （become） very common in farming.

选择性必修2 Unit 3单元测试题第一部分阅读(共两节，满分50分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

AAnn Arbor Travel GuideWhen you think of Ann Arbor, you likely think of the University of Michigan. In some ways, the two are the same. But Ann Arbor has an identity of its own. That is the unique festivals like Apple Daze in the fall and FestiFools in the spring. And the town is known as the “City of Trees”; visitors can paddle (划船) and hike their way down the lush (茂密的) Huron River Water Trail or appreciate flowers at a local garden in early summer.Best months to visitThe best time to visit Ann Arbor is between May and September, when temperatures rest comfortably and lots of activities are held there. For example, June is a perfect time to go outside and experience Ann Arbor’s outdoor spaces, like the Huron River and Matthaei Botanical Gardens. If a fall or winter trip amuses you, you will still find plenty to do. College football season runs from September to November, so that’s a great time to visit if you’d like to catch a game at Michigan Stadium. In the colder months, you can spend time in Ann Arbor’s many indoor museums or enjoying special holiday events, like KindleFest.Tips for saving moneyEat where the locals do. Many hole-in-the-wall restaurants are frequented by college students and therefore keep their prices reasonable to attract the public.Walk, walk, and walk. Downtown Ann Arbor is a very walkable area. In fact, driving and parking a car is often annoying. By getting around on your feet, you will not only get a better feel for the town, but also save money that would have otherwise been spent on a rental car or taxi rides.1. What is the special feature of Ann Arbor?A. Its good location.B. Its special festivals.C. Its famous restaurants.D. Its educational environment.2. What may be the best time to visit Ann Arbor if you are a football fan?A. Early spring.B. Late winter.C. September.D. June.3. What’s the author’s advice on saving money when visiting Ann Arbor?A. Asking for discounts while buying tickets.B. Having meals in the college dining hall.C. Renting a car to visit the city.D. Traveling around on foot.BLisa started climbing five years ago when a friend asked her to climb Mt. Rainier. The ability toexperience part of the mountain that few people reach drew Lisa to continuing her mountaineering. By 2012 she and her husband had climbed the highest points in North America, South America and Europe. They had also volunteered for numerous projects with Adventurers and Scientists for Con servation (ASC). Their latest goal was Mt. Vinson in Antarctica to collect snow samples for ASC.It was difficult for Lisa，s family who had spent all their lives in Illinois to picture what would draw her to such a remote continent (大陆). Her primary motivation was to safely climb Mt. Vinson, but secondarily she wanted to share the experience with others who, like her father, couldn’t imagine what the coldest continent was like.As they gradually made their way up toward Mt. Vinson, Lisa9 s body got used to the cold, dry air and a heavy pack. Her mind was filled with the vastness of this continent. How is it possible that so few people have seen it? How can it be kept so that others have the opportunity to responsibly do so? Part of her duty was to answer the last question.After she had collected the snow in a small plastic bottle, she labeled (贴标签) it and stored it for safe keeping. As she watched the snow inside, she thought about the story it would tell. What would researchers learn about this mountain? What had it endured (忍受) during its lifetime? What would we, as servants of this earth, do with this information? She didn’t have the skills to answer these questions by herself, but knowing that she played a small part in allowing them to be answered was thrilling, just as gratifying as reaching the top.4. What pushed Lisa to continue her climbing?A. Her success in reaching the mountain top.B. Her love of challenging herself.C. Her friend’s encouragement.D. Her desire to win.5. What did Lisa’s family think about her climbing Mt. Vinson?A. It was inspiring.B. It was meaningful.C. It was entertaining.D. It was unbelievable.6. What can we know about Lisa on her way up to Mt. Vinson?A. She could hardly bear her heavy package.B. She was curious about people’s rare visiting.C. She was greatly impressed by the large continent.D. She realized the importance of protecting Antarctica.7. What does the underlined word “gratifying” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Simple.B. Pleasing.C. Practical.D. Promising.CGood news, coffee lovers: Your daily cup of Joe might be doing good to your heart, namely by helping to reduce the risk of heart failure, suggest the findings of a new study. In an analysis of data from three large studies on the topic, researchers found that those who reported drinking one or more cups of caffeinated (含咖徘因的) coffee a day had “a related decreased long-term heart failure risk”.For the report published in Circulation: Heart Failure, researchers used machine learning to examine data from a large study from the Framingham Heart Study, referencing this data against two other studies. “Each study included at least 10 years of follow-up, and altogether the studiesprovided information on more than 21,000 U.S. adult participants,” researchers said.When analyzing the Framingham Heart Study, researchers noted that when compared to non-coffee drinkers, coffee drinkers’ risk of heart failure decreased by 5% to 12% for each cup they drank each day. As for decaffeinated coffee, researchers noted that it did, not have the same benefits as caffeinated coffee, with one study suggesting that decaffeinated coffee may have an opposite effect.Dr. David Kao, senior study author, said in a statement, “The relation between caffeine and heart failure risk reduction was surprising. Coffee and caffeine are often considered by the general population to be ‘bad’ for the heart because people relate them to health problems like palpitations, high blood pressure, etc. The relationship between increasing caffeine consumption and decreasing heart failure risk turns that thought on its head.”“However, there is not yet enough clear evidence to prove that increasing coffee consumption can decrease the risk of heart disease with the same strength and certainty as stopping smoking, losing weight, or exercising,” Kao noted. The researchers also warned that the findings only focused on black coffee, that is, plain coffee, without added sugar and high-fat dairy products such as cream.8. What’s the finding of the new study?A. The number of heart failure cases has decreased gradually.B. Coffee can help lower the possibility of heart failure.C. Caffeine does harm to people’s health.D. Coffee helps cure heart disease.9. How did researchers achieve their finding?A. By searching online for detailed information.B. By interviewing experts about their opinions.C. By conducting surveys among young adults.D. By comparing data from long-term studies.10. What can directly affect the result of the study?A. The brand of coffee.B. The age of the subjects.C. The addition of caffeine to coffee.D. The amount of coffee consumption.11. What is Dr. Kao’s attitude towards the result?A. Indifferent.B. Positive.C. Curious.D. Careful.DThe world has changed greatly since Herman Fisher met Irving Price and Helen Schelle in 1930. The trio (三人组) founded Fisher-Price, maker of popular toy series such as Thomas & Friends, Power Wheels, and Little People. Companies like Fisher-Price are exploring how the world of toys and parenting will change with the development of technology. Fisher-Price recently cooperated with Continuum, a global innovation designer. Together, they created a short video called The Future of Parenting, along with a short essay explaining the thoughts behind the video.One thought of the video explores how parenting will change when the teens of today raised with data-providing devices such as Fitbit and iPad begin raising kids of their own. Is this a generation that will desire data in all of their kids’ toys? The answer may be “yes” and perhaps the productappearing in the video will appeal to them.If you interpret the video as a clear vision of the future of parenting, you won’t be blamed for fearing holograms (全息图) will take over your house as a mom or dad. The benefit of holograms in the video is their potential for giving traditional toys the ability to personalize responses, depending on the age and development of the child playing with the traditional toy.Of course, you might ask yourself, “Do data-providing toys have an advantage over traditional toys in terms of their effects?” The answer may be negative. Lego, a traditional brick toy-maker, on all counts remains a successful company. And studies point out its toys’ benefits to children’s creativity. In addition, recent research demonstrates that toys containing data can potentially prevent language development, compared with traditional puzzles and bricks.On the one hand, parents know that they should limit their kids’ screen time to keep them healthy, and the American Academy of Pediatrics offers guidance on daily screen time. On the other hand, technology can be wonderfully engaging and can provide excellent educational opportunities for children. Nothing is perfect and we should embrace every aspect of a new thing.12. What are companies like Fisher-Price currently exploring?A. The impact of technological advances on toys and parenting.B. The way to be an outstanding global innovation designer.C. New ideas of making short videos of creative toys.D. Techniques used to produce popular toy series.13. According to the author, teenagers raised with data-providing devices may ___________.A. be fond of devoting themselves to improving technologyB. be afraid of the negative impact of electronic toysC. pass their preference for such toys on to their kidsD. show great creativity and imagination14. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. Advantages and disadvantages of modem technology.B. Comparisons of the effects of two kinds of toys.C. Suggestions on how to choose suitable toys.D. Advances in technology used to make toys.15. What does the author want to show at the end of the text?A. Love me, love my dog.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. Everything is a two-edged sword.D. Hope for the best; prepare for the worst.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

A5 of the Most Interesting Customs in the WorldSwitzerland-Honesty shoppingThere are little shops in the middle of the Swiss Alps that allow you to buy your fresh cheese, milk, bread, honey, and butter without anyone to watch you. In fact, no one watches these shops because they are owned by farmers who are out taking care of the animals.South Korea-NOT tippingTipping is in the blood for someone who is raised in the United States along with many other European countries. But in South Korea, employees in the food service industry are given fair wages and take pride in their work, and it is insulting(侮辱人的)to attempt to tip them.Iceland-Christmas Eve books givingPeople puzzle over the eternal(永恒的) question of Christmas gifts. Iceland has solved this problem with the Christmas Eve tradition of giving a book. After everyone unwraps the books, they spend the evening reading together.Japan-Pushers on the subwayJapan's subway is crowded during rush hours. But instead of settling for the inefficiency that personal space demands, Japan has "pushers". They are exactly what they sound like-employees whose only job during rush hour is to push more people onto the train.Russia-Offering vodkaIt is the custom to welcome new friends with shots of vodka. What better way to break the ice than with some stomach-warming shots of this Russian tradition? That's something we can all toast to, or, as they say in Russia, "Na zdorovye!"1.In which of countries is it a tradition to give books as a Christmas gift?A.Japan.B.South Korea.C.Russia.D.Iceland.2.What can we learn from the text?A.It is a tradition for Swiss to welcome guests with vodka.B.No one watches you shop in Switzerland because people are busy.C."Pushers" in Japan help you get off the train faster.D.Tipping is in the blood for people in South Korea.3.Who might be the target readers?A.Those who intend to travel in their home country.B.Those who want to study abroad.C.Those who are interested in diverse customs around the globe.D.Those who are fond of natural sceneries.BWhether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company's "Oshbot" robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like othersocial robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. "We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us," said Breazeal.1. How are social robots different from household robots?A. They can control their emotions.B. They are more like humans.C. They do the normal housework.D. They respond to users more slowly.2. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?A. Communicate with you and perform operations.B. Answer your questions and make requests.C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.3. What can Oshbot work as?A. A language teacher.B. A tour guide.C. A shop assistant.D. A private nurse.4. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______.A. train employeesB. be our workmatesC. improve technologiesD. take the place of workers5. What does the passage mainly present?A. A new design idea of household robots.B. Marketing strategies for social robots.C. Information on household robots.D. An introduction to social robots.CLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers,small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10, 000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6, 800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6, 800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.1. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?A. They developed very fast.B. They were large in number.C. They had similar patternsD. They were closely connected.2. Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in Paragraph 2?A. ComplexB. Advanced.C. PowerfulD. Modern.3. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?A. About 6,800B. About 3,400C. About 2,400D. About 1,2004. What is the main idea of the text?A. New languages will be created.B. People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.C. Human development results in fewer languages.D. Geography determines language evolution.D"People are ruder today because they are rushed and more 'time poor' than ever before, "says Patsy Rowe." Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达)."Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don't wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint (抱怨)about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don't work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的) rude messages by email.However, rudeness is never acceptable. Don't assume it is OK to be rude if the person you're in touch with won't recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.We shouldn't blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives.

Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering(触发) events, personality traits(特征), and our assessment of situations.①_____Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more.②_____ The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one's personal history and psychological traits.Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. ③_____Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.④_____Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative(消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.⑤_____However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate ourlevel of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.A.Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.B.But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.C.Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.D.Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.E.Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.F.Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.G.Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.第二部分语言运用（共两节,满分30分）第一节（共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分）Molai grew up in a tiny village in India.

The most famous war movies reflect the American public's continuous fascination with World War Ⅱand the Vietnam War.Many movies of this kind have been well­received when they were first shown, but few of them have enjoyed lasting fame and popularity.The films on the list of the five most famous war movies still remain fresh and are popular among many people.The Longest DayAn all­star cast recreates D­Day and the Normandy attack, the greatest landing and aerial (空中的) invasion in history.This is probably the most famous war movie because of the large number of big stars who have roles in the film.Apocalypse NowThis is a famous war movie because of its description of the Vietnam War and excellent performance from Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen and Robert Duvall.The film, full of memorable scenes and quotes, is widely viewed as a masterpiece of movie making.The Dirty DozenLee Marvin, playing an officer who thinks and acts independently, is appointed to train twelve prisoners, most of whom have been sentenced to death, to go on a suicide mission to kill several Nazi generals.If any of the men makes it back, they may get a pardon.

They are all important parts of British life. At least I thought so.However, the ability to queue for long periods of time, once believed to be a traditional characteristic of the British, is no longer tolerated by people in the UK, according to a survey done for British bank Barclays.Once upon a time, queuing was seen as normal. During World War Ⅱ, everyone had to queue up to receive their daily supply of foods. In fact, if you didn’t stand up and wait in line with all the others, it was seen as uncivilized (不文明的).The famous English double-decker buses, with only one entrance, might also help explain why queuing was seen as apart of British life. Almost always, there is a queue to get on.But perhaps the British are tired of being pushed past by the Spanish, the Italians or the French as they queue up to get a table at a restaurant. The people of these other European countries have more than one entrance to their houses, which explains their more relaxed attitude to the queue.Two minutes is now the longest time most British people are prepared to stand and wait. But could it be that the Internet, which allows us to carry out tasks quickly, is the main reason why British people are no longer prepared to queue?“Used to buying without delay, customers are even giving up purchases rather than wait their turn, ” says Stuart Neal of Barclaycard. “Shoppers are also less likely to queue for long if the item they are buying is of low value. ”Perhaps I will have to replace “queuing” with “impatience” in my list of things I relate to the British.1. What can we learn about the tradition of queuing in Britain?A. It was a product of the slow pace of life.B. It was a long time tradition as old as the Queen.C. It was considered as a symbol of a civilized behavior.D. It has made the British different from other Europeans.2. According to the passage, the British gradually stopped queuing because______.A. they prefer shopping onlineB. they follow the example of foreignersC. British buses have more than one entranceD. the Internet has changed their way of life3. It can be learned from the text that______.A. the British get impatient with queuing for longB. the British have to queue to receive foodC. the British like to eat in foreign restaurantsD. the British prefer to take double-decker buses4. The author’s main purpose of writing the passageis______.A. to tell us the influence of the Internet on the British ways of lifeB. to compare the cultural differences between Britain and other countriesC. to talk about the changes in the attitude to queuing in BritainD. to report his research on the British ways of life四、语法填空When times become difficult, remember a moment in your life that was filled with joy and happiness.

APet lovers were very st May, a news article online said three states had passed laws limiting the number of pets that each household could have to only two.The news spread quickly, as many people shared the article on Facebook and other social media sites.But pet owners had nothing to worry about—the article was made-up.Many fake (虚假的) news are harmless, but others might have played a role in real-world events.When it comes to online news, even adults can have a hard time telling fact from cation experts say kids should start learning how to tell the difference.Of course, there are plenty of reputable websites you can visit to read the news.Well-known news organizations, such as The New York Times and the Associated Press, have their own sites.But many other online “news” sources aren't always reliable.And many students have trouble finding out when articles aren't entirely true or are trying to persuade them to think in a certain way.Why would someone purposely publish an article that isn't true? The most common reason is to make money.Websites are paid by the companies that post ads on panies want to place their ads on sites that get a lot of visitors.So people create fake news with attention-catching headlines to try to get users to click on them.Some of the biggest websites are trying to stop the flow of fake st November, Facebook and Google banned fake news sites from advertising on their pages.Facebook is also working with fact-checking organizations to identify and flag fake articles.But experts say the best way to slow the spread of fake news is for people to be more skeptical(怀疑的) of what they read online.1．What's the author's purpose of writing the first paragraph?A．To make readers focus on fake news.B．To introduce the topic about fake news.C．To state the reasons for fake news' spread.D．To inform readers of some media websites.2．What does t he underlined word “reputable” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Popular. B．Colorful.C．Official. D．Honest.3．What's the main idea of this text?A．People create fake news to make money.B．The growing trend of fake news raises concerns.C．It's unnecessary for kids to be able to spot fake news.D．Most school children can easily recognize fake news.BTerrafugia Inc.said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight，bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year.The vehicle—named the Transition—has two seats，four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car.The Transition，which flew at 1，400 feet for eight minutes last month，can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air.It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air.On the ground，it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a$10，000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale，and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show.But don't expect it to show up in too many driveways.It's expected to cost $279，000.And it won't help if you're stuck in traffic.The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s，according to Robert Mann，an airline industry expert.But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality.The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly.The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration's decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft，which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes.Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition，a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.4．What is the best title for the text?A．Flying Car at Auto ShowB．The Transition's First FlightC．Pilots' Dream Coming TrueD．Flying Car Closer to Reality5．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．The basic data of the Transition.B．The advantages of flying cars.C．The potential market for flying cars.D．The designers of the Transition.6．Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?A．It causes traffic jams.B．It is difficult to operate.C．It is very expensive.D．It burns too much fuel.7．What is the government's attitude to the development of the flying car?A．Cautious.B．Favorable.C．Ambiguous. D．Disapproving.CDavid Braben is a very well-known game developer who runs the UK development studio, Frontier Developments, but is just as well-known for being the developer of “Elite”．Over his career his studio has brought us the “Rollercoaster Tycoon” series and most recently “Kinectimals”．In the background, however, Braben has been trying to solve another problem: getting programming and general learning of how computers work back into schools.Braben says that education since we entered the 2000s has turned towardsteaching useful skills such as writing on computer, how to get information, and learning basic computer use skills.And those have supplanted more computer science-like skills such as basic programming and understanding the hardware (硬件) contained in a computer.His solution is not to create his own course, but instead to make a low-cost PC that can be given to kids for free and his courses are built up around their use.A personal computer is important for each student to have in class.When we say “low cost”，we mean the cost is so low that even “One Laptop per Child” would be realized.Braben has developed a tiny PC.How much is the cost？$25.This is the answer to anyone that says he/she can't afford a computer.The hardware being offered is good, too.The new tiny PC will let the user look through the Internet and give the user a fully functional(功能) computer to play with.And it can be carried in your pocket or on a key chain.This tiny cheap PC is going to be given to schools through a new charitable foundation(慈善机构) called the Raspberry Pi Foundation.It will help computer science studies in schools.Braben says he hopes that they will be given within the next 12 months.8．What does the underlined word “supplanted” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Used.B．Changed.C．Designed. D．Replaced.9．What do we know about the PC David Braben is developing?A．It is small and very cheap.B．Its hardware isn't very good.C．It isn't a fully functional one.D．It is cheap and not special.10．What kind of person do you think David Braben is?A．He is mean, rich and famous.B．He is able, wise and mean.C．He is rich, selfish and successful.D．He is able, famous and warm-hearted.11．What David Braben has been trying to do is ________．A．running the UK development studioB．letting children learn science-like skillsC．creating more advanced computersD．creating more computer gamesDElectronic books have changed the way many peopleread for pleasure.Now online textbooks are changing theway some students learn and some teachers teach.Morethan one hundred seventy-five thousand students attend thepublic schools in Fairfax County, Virginia, outsidest year, the school system used digital books in fifteen schools.This school year, middle schools and high schools changed from printed to electronic textbooks in their social studies classes.Luke Rosa is a history teacher at Falls Church High School.His students work on laptop computers at school.He explains the idea to them this way，“I mean, it's just like a regular textbook, except it's got it all, online.”Peter Noonan, an assistant superintendent (助理监督) of schools, said，“Th e world's changing.And the online textbooks can change right along with the events that are happening.” Digital books also cost less than printed textbooks, he said.A student named Melanie Reuter said, “I don't have to carry a textbook around, so that's n ice.”But another student said，“I don't like it because the Internet sometimes doesn't work.”Students also need access to the Internet when they are not at school.About ten percent of students in Fairfax County do not have a computer or online access at home.Public libraries in the county have free Internet.There are also after-school computer labs as well as computer clubhouses supported by the county.Middle school student Slieman Hakim is happy about that.He said, “My family only has one computer；my sister and I both do our homework on it.So I come here to do my homework.It's good.”Other school systems in the area are also considering online textbooks.12．Why does Slieman Hakim feel happy?A．He is offered a free computer to do his homework.B．He doesn't have to do his homework at home.C．He has access to the Internet to study at any place.D．He needn't share a computer with his sister to do homework.13．What can we learn from the passage?A．All students like digital textbooks because they are new.B．Digital textbooks are more beautiful than paper textbooks.C．Students can do their homework in the computer clubhouses.D．The lessons online are completely different from those in paper textbooks.14．The passage aims to ________．A．report the use of electronic textbooks in schoolB．show how to use electronic textbooksC．encourage more schools to use electronic textbooksD．tell readers electronic textbooks will replace regular textbooks15．One of the disadvantages of digital textbooks is that ________．A．they're more expensiveB．they can't be used if the computer is offlineC．they're soon out of dateD．reading online does harm to students' eyes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。

They dragged the little boy out of the building more dead than alive. Then he was 3taken to a nearby country hospital.The doctor told the boy’s mother that because the lower part of his body was 4burnt，he couldn’t use his legs anymore.

The researchers looked at a sample of about 5，000 children who were involved in a long-term study that tracks children born in the UK between 1991 and 1992. When children reached 11 years old，their daily physical activity levels were measured using an accelerometer for three to seven days. The device，similar to a pedometer tracking the number of steps taken，recorded the average time children exercised，which was 29 minutes a day for boys and 18 minutes for girls.“The actual levels of daily physical activity at age 11 were quite low，”Mr. Reilly noted. The children had their academic performance tested at ages 11 and 13 with compulsory national tests for students，and also at 15 or 16 with the General Certificate of Secondary Education（GCSE）exam. The tests assessed the children’s abilities in English，math and science subjects.When factors that could affect academic performance including birth weight，mother’s age at delivery andother socioeconomic factors were adjusted，the results showed that the more children participated in moderate and energetic physical activity，the higher their test scores were at age 11 in all three subjects. For girls，science scores were most strongly linked to exercise. When they followed up with the kids at age 13，their academic scores were still linked to how much they had exercised when they were 11 years old.By the time the youngsters took the GCSE exam，each 17-minute-per-day increase in physical activity for the boys was linked to an improvement in their scores. Every additional 12-minute increase a day in exercise for the girls was also linked to an increased score as well，especially in the science category.The researchers have called for more studies to look at the possible academic benefits that could be gained if students exercise the recommended 60 minutes or more a day.1. How did the researchers carry out the study?A. By asking different questions.B. By using tracking equipment.C. By asking teens to take some tests.D. By asking teens to report the exercise time.2. According to the passage，what can affect a teen’s academic performance?A. His age.B. His mother’s weight.C. His mother’s age at delivery.D. His birth date.3. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?A. When the children were tested again at age 13B. When the kids continued physical exercise at 13C. When they moved along with the 13-year-old kidsD. When they took an interest in the 13-year-old kids4. According to the researchers，how long should the students exercise per day?A. 12 minutes.B. 18 minutes.C. 30 minutes.D. 60 minutes.参考答案Ⅰ.单词拼写1．burst 2.intense 3.vivid 4.assign 5.opponent 6.seize7．tournament8.defeat9.surgery10.steely Ⅱ.短语填空1．be assigned to 2.went wild e true 4.burst onto5．paid off 6.contribute to7.prepare forⅢ.单句语法填空1．cooperation 2.vividly 3.assignment 4.staring 5.Offered 6．defeating7.in8.toⅣ.课文语法填空1. embracing考查非谓语动词。

Now online textbooks are changing the way some students learn and some teachers teach. More than one hundred and seventy-five thousand students attend the public schoolsin Fairfax County, Virginia, outside Washington. Last year, the school system used digital books in fifteen schools. This school year, middle schools and high schools changed from printed to electronic textbooks in their social studies classes.Luke Rosa is a history teacher at Falls Church High School. His students work on laptop computers at school. He explains the idea to them this way, “I mean, it’s just like a regular textbook, except it’s got it all online. ”Peter Noonan, an assistant superintendent (助理监督) of schools, said, “The world’s changing. And the online textbooks can change right along with the events that are happening. ” Digital books also cost less than printed textbooks, he said.A student named Melanie Reuter said, “I don’t have to carry a textbook around, so that’s nice. ”But another student said, “I don’t like it because the Internet sometimes doesn’t work. ”Students also need access to the Internet when they are not at school. About ten percent of students in Fairfax County do not have a computer or online access at home. Public libraries in the county have free Internet. There are also after-schoolcomputer labs as well as computer clubhouses supported by the county. Middle school student Slieman Hakim is happy about that. He said, “My family only has one computer; my sister and I both do our homework on it. So I come here to do my homework. It’s good. ”Other school systems in the area are also considering online textbooks.1. One of the disadvantages of digital textbooks is that______.A. they’re more expensiveB. they can’t be used if the computer is offlineC. they’re soon out of dateD. reading online does harm to students’ eyes2. Why does Slieman Hakim feel happy?A. He is offered a free computer to do his homework.B. He doesn’t have to do his homework at home.C. He has access to the Internet to study at any place.D.

Digital textbooks are more beautiful than paper textbooks.C. Students can do their homework in the computer clubhouses.D. The lessons online are completely different from those in paper textbooks.4. The passage aims to ______.A. report the use of electronic textbooks in schoolB. show how to use electronic textbooksC. encourage more schools to use electronic textbooksD. tell readers electronic textbooks will replace regular textbooks三、七选五Most of us in China are used to paying for everything with our phones. 1 At least,this was the case for Lim Swee Say from Singapore,who found his first experience with Chinese payment methods quite impressive.Lim was waiting in line to buy nuts at a street stall (货摊) in Shanghai and saw other customers show their phones and take the nuts without giving cash. 2 It seems that Singapore falls behind in mobile payments.Some Chinese tourists find it inconvenient when they have to use cash in Singapore.3 According to Xinhua News Agency,many countries now accept mobile payment services for Chinese tourists,with WeChat Pay covered in 13 overseas countries and regions and Alipay over 200.It’s now common to see the familiar green orblue logos in tourist destinations around the world,from a tiny shop in the Scottish Highlands to a huge department store in New York.Mobile payments are now a normal part of life in China,and the trend is sweeping other nations.According to Forrester Research,in America,mobile payments rose by 37 per cent in 2016.4 This may be partly because western mobile payment services require businesses to install expensive equipment before customers can use them. 5A.He was trying to figure out how they got paid.B.Foreign tourists don’t like to pay with their mobile phones.C.But in China,all it takes is a QR code (二维码) and a phone.D.Soon after,he realised that the customers were using WeChat Pay.E.Still,Chinese mobile payments were nearly 50 times greater than those in the US.F.But for foreign visitors who aren’t familiar with this method,it may seem strange.G.The popularity of Chinese mobile payments has pushed some foreign companies to accept them.四、语法填空Since July 2019, an online food-delivery platform 1.(carry) out a new service of picking up garbage from its users in Shanghai.The service comes after 2. ________ recently-released regulation on waste management in Shanghai.

In the 1970s，exercise began to leave the home，both through the popularization of jogging and weightlifting and in more organized ways，such as Jazzercise classes.No matter how they package it，these businesses aren’t just selling physical activity；they’re providing people with a way to stick to expectations that the industry itself helped set.“Exercise，and especially public exercise，came to indicate mental，emotional，and even spiritual health and virtue，”Marc Stern wrote in 2008.“In return for the effort，gym-goers attain（获得）the type of body that proves their virtue to all who see them.”That these physical standards are difficult to achieve is the point.“We live in a culture in which being diligent is highly praised，”Petrzela，the New School professor，who is working on a book about fitness’s place in American culture，told me.“Many people want to be regarded as people who value exercise，because it shows they’re committed to（致力于）self-improvement，and to hard work.”Above and beyond movement itself，part of the satisfaction of gym-going comes from performing those values around other people who share them，and from achieving what that community regards as success.1. Why did exercise develop in the 1950s and 1960s?A. Exercise was a necessity in daily life.B. People realized the importance of body health.C. Exercise was an often-expensive leisure activity.D. People regarded exercise as the foundation of people’s social position.2. Why do many people like going to the gym according to Marc Stern?A. To keep healthy.B. To gain good body shape.C. To show their good character.D. To prove their social position.3. What does NOT make people gain satisfaction from going to the gym?A. Seeing some superstars in the gym.B. The same values around other people.C. Achieving success defined by that group of people.D. Being regarded as people who’re committed to self-improvement.4. What is the text mainly about?A. How to keep healthy.B. Why American people want to gain virtue.C. Why physical activity developed in America.D. How physical activity developed in America.VI.七选五Benefits of SportsDoing sports is a physical，mental and social adventure. It’s a great way for children to take a break from academics and release extra energy. It also helps them lead fuller and happier lives as regular sports have proven to improve overall well-being.The physical benefits of doing sports are probably the most obvious. Regardless of your fitness level when you start playing sports，you’ll notice an increase in your overall fitness once you’re involved. 1Basketball players focus on strength training；football players work on speed while track athletes train through longer runs. The training process helps promote physical fitness and performances in competitions.2Playing sports contributes to mental health，helping to increase confidence and self-worth. A pat on the back，high-five from a teammate，or handshake after a match really boosts a child’s confidence. Words of praise and encouragement from the coach，parents and other players raise the self-worth. 3So after a game，it’s a better idea to ask“Did you enjoy the game?”rather than“Did you win?”.Children who participate in sports might also benefit from the social aspect，feeling part of a group，building up accountability and leadership. 4Teamwork involves both being dependable as a teammate and learning to rely on your teammates to achieve a positive outcome. Teamwork breeds accountability and challenges you to be responsible for your actions. Being part of a team gives you an opportunity to be a leader.Discipline is another social advantage. Most organized sports require a strict training and practice schedule. As a student-athlete，you need to balance academics and athletics. 5There is no shortage of reasons to find a sport to get involved in. Are you ready to go? Pick one and get moving!A. It’s not just your body that benefits from sports.B. Therefore，playing sports is going to make you more fit.C. But remember，a child’s self-worth should not be distinguished by victory or loss.D. If you play group sports，you’ll be part of a team that takes direction from a coach.E. Nearly every sport requires physical activity and the skills needed to be competitive.F. Among these，learning how to function as part of a team is the most important advantage.G.

D．Uninterested.CYou're on a diet, but the smell of popcorn in the movie theater lobby brings you a seeminglyirresistible desire.Within seconds, you've ordered a tub of the stuff and have eaten several handfuls.Food impulsivity (冲动性), which has been linked to excessive food intake, may lead to many health problems, such as weight gain or obesity.However, a team of researchers has now identified a specific circuit in the brain that influences food impulsivity, creating the possibility that scientists can someday develop therapy for overeating.“Your brain has potential ability to repel impulsive eating，”said Emily Noble, an assistant professor in the UGA College of Family.“In experimental models, you can activate that circuitry and get a specific behavioral response.”Using a rat model, researchers focused on a group of brain cells that produce a type of transmitter in the hypothalamus (下丘脑) called MCH.“While previous research has shown that elevating MCH levels in the brain can increase food intake, this study is the first to show that it also plays a role in impulsive behavior，”Noble said.To test impulsivity, researchers trained rats to press a lever (杠杆) to receive a “delicious, high­fat, high-sugar” button, Noble said.However, the rat had to wait 20 seconds between lever presses.If the rat pressed the lever too soon, it had to wait an additional 20 seconds.Researchers then used advanced techniques to activate a specific MCH neural (神经的) pathway from the hypothalamus to the hippocampus, a part of the brain involved with learning and memory function.Results indicated MCH doesn't affect how much the animals liked the food or how hard they were willing to work for the food.Rather, it acted on the animals' ability to stop themselves from trying to get the food.Activating this specific pathway of MCH neurons controlled impulsive behavior without affecting normal eating for caloric need or motivation to consume delicious food.This opens the door to the possibility that one day we might be able to develop a new treatment for overeating that helps people stick to a diet without reducing normal appetite or making delicious foods less delicious.8.The author uses an example at the beginning of the text to ________．A.introduce the topicB.describe one's characterC.present an argumentD.clarify the writing purpose9．What does the underlined word “repel”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Cause. B．Refuse.C.Choose. D．Confirm.10．What do the researchers want to find through the rat experiment?A.How to increase the MCH levels.B.What factors cause food impulsivity.C.Whether MCH is related to impulsive eating.D.Whether the new therapy will influence normal eating.11．What's the last paragraph mainly about?A.The significance of the study.B.The further research on overeating.C.The importance of sticking to a diet.D.The possibility of preventing overeating.DA song combines words and music, yet the human brain can instantly separate a song's words from its music content.And now scientists think they know how it happens.A team led by researchers at McGill University reported in Science that song sounds are processed at the same time by two separate brain areas — one in the left hemisphere (大脑半球) and one in the right.“On the left side you can figure out the speech content but not the music content, and on the right side you can figure out the music content but not the speech content，”says Robert Zatorre, a professor at McGill University.“Thanks to songbirds, we got the finding of our research，”Zatorre says.“In a previous study of songbirds, we found that their brains figure out sounds using two separate measures.One assesses how quickly a sound fluctuates (起伏) over time.The other detects the frequencies in a sound.We thought, hey, maybe that is what the human brain does, too.”To find out, the team got help from a composer and a singer with high singing voice.And after a series of experiments, it turned out that humans decode sounds the same way as songbirds do, by separating a sound's time­related elements from the frequencies it contains, and processingthe information using two different groups of specialized brain cells.“As a result, when we hear a song, it engages both hemispheres of the brain in a way that's different than either speech or music alone？” Zatorre says.The finding explains something doctors have observed in stroke (中风) patients for decades, says Daniela Sammler, a researcher at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig, Germany, who was not involved in the study.“If you have a stroke in the left hemisphere you are much more likely to have a language barrier than if you have a stroke in the right hemisphere？”Sammler says.Moreover, brain damage to certain areas of the right hemisphere can affect a person's ability to sense music.12．What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.The brain's distinguishing lyrics of a song from its melody.B.The cooperation between left and right hemisphere.C.The popularity of music around the world.D.A song's combining words and music.13．Why are songbirds mentioned in the text?A.To show the relationship between left and right hemisphere.B.To present the background of doing the study.C.To introduce the way songbirds figure out sounds.D.To illustrate the finding of the study.14．What's Sammler's attitude towards the finding?A.Doubtful. B．Supportive.C.Disapproving. D．Uncaring.15．What is the text mainly about?A.The process of our brains'dealing with information.B.Different functions of our brain's two hemispheres.C.Reasons why so many people love to listen to music.D.The way our brain works when listening to a song.Ⅱ.阅读七选五Being stuck at home might not have been on your agenda for the current moment.__16__ But home time can be quality time, an opportunity to rest, restore and re­energize.Here are four tips tohelp you start feeling positive about being “stuck”at home.Make a schedule.It can be destabilizing to be stuck in your home when you're accustomed to organizing your day around various comings and goings — to work, to social gatherings, etc.Think about ways to make a schedule to help normalize your home time.Try to keep to meal and snack times.__17__ —And make a plan for how much time you will spend working or surfing the Internet.__18__There's no more reliable way to transport yourself to other places, mindsets and moods than to read an interesting book.Whether you choose an old favorite novel or a brand new book, reading for pleasure is a boundless source of relaxation and joy.Pick up the phone and talk.Many people's pleasure of a phone conversation often gets lost nowadays.Being stuck at home provides the perfect opportunity to restore your phone chatting skills.Reach out to a friend or family member —either one you don't often get to see, or one who lives down the street.__19__Start a project.Starting a project is a way to make your time at home feel meaningful and productive.So look around your house and identify a project that needs doing.__20__ You can also grow pots of flowers in your living room.A.Read for fun.B.How will you pass the time?C.Starting a project can be simple.D.And it might not have been your decision.E.For example, repair a chair in your basement.F.Have a general routine around waking up and going to sleep.G.In this way, you can still stay connected with others when being at home.选择性必修第二册 Unit 3 同步练习(限时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解ABrisbane is an exciting city, voted as one of the most liveable cities in Australia.Its fine food will make you hate to leave.Here are four famous restaurants.Kingsleys Steak & Crab HouseLocated on the waterfront of the Brisbane River with views of the Story Bridge, Kingsleys Steak & Crab House supplies an incomparable ideal setting for lunch or dinner.With impressive views and a combination of both indoor and outdoor seating, it attracts a lot of tourists to have a unique dining experience here.It also offers fresh seafood, including Alaska king crabs, high­grade wine and friendly staff.Rates per person: $35 —$45Moo Moo The Wine BarMoo Moo The Wine Bar is an award­winning chain of lakeside dining sites.Originally, it was founded in 2005 by Steven Adams, a well­known chef.Moo Moo has since claimed many awards, including Queensland's Best Steak Restaurant 2008, Gold Riverside Restaurant of the Year 2007, and Gold Coast's Best Steak Restaurant.Rates per person: $40－$45Jellyfish RestaurantThe beautiful views over the Brisbane River are just a starter to come from Jellyfish Restaurant.Its aim is to source and serve fishes of 8 species daily, to learn and understand the texture and qualities of each species and recommend the best way to cook to its customers and serve for the fine experience.Rates per person: $30－$45Tibetian KitchenFor a fine dining experience in Brisbane, it is hard to go past Tibetian Kitchen founded by the award-winning well-known chef Matt Moran.With a beautiful setting on the bank of the Brisbane River, Tibetian Kitchen is all about beautifully presented dishes which look like pieces of perfectartwork.This is what Tibetian Kitchen differs from other restaurants above.Rates per person: $35－$45语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。
