14-15学年新课标高三上学期9册Unit 2测试Class: Name: Marks: 满分(120)第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AI had little confidence in my ability to write a whole book, though I did intuit (凭直觉感知) that my work as a firefighter was a worthy subject. And so I wrote Report From Engine Co. 82 in six months, and it went on to sell two million copies and to be translated into 12 languages. In the years that followed, I wrote three more best-sellers, and last year published a memoir(回忆录), A Song for Mary: An Irish-American Memory.Being a writer had been far from my expectations; being a best-selling author was almost unbelievable. How had it happened? I often found myself thinking about it, and feeling great surprise at it.For me, the clearest explanation is that I had found the subject I was searching for, one I felt so strongly about that the writing was a natural consequence of the passion I felt. I was to feel this same kind of passion when I began writing about firefighters and, later, when writing about my mother. These are subjects that, to me, represent the great values of human life — honesty and fairness — subjects that burn within me as I write.Over the years, all five of my children have come to me periodically with one dilemma or another. Should I study English or art? Should I go out for soccer or basketball? Should I take a job with this company or that one?My answer is always the same, but yet they still ask, for reassurance (安心) is a good and helpful thing. Think about what you’re feeling deep down in your stomach, I tell them, and measure the heat of the fire there, for that is the passion that will flow through your heart. Your education and your experience will guide you toward making a right decision, but your passion will enable you to make a difference in whatever you do.1. From the first paragraph, we can infer that .A. the writer was confident about his first bookB. the writer’s first book was a great successC. the writer published four best-sellers in a yearD. A Song for Mary is mainly about the life in Ireland2. Before taking up writing, the writer felt it for him to be a best-selling writer.A. unimaginableB. interestingC. worthwhileD. possible3. According to the writer, the reason why he became successful is that .A. he wrote subjects popular among the readersB. he had a great passion for being richC. he wrote about the subjects for which he had a passionD. he put great effort into his work4. The last paragraph mainly tells us .A. it is important to give our children proper guidanceB. education and experience are important in making a right decisionC. following our passion plays an important part in achieving our dreamD. it’s necessary for children to ask parents for adviceBIt’s the stuff of nightmares —and it was sold for $119 million. Edward Munch’s masterpiece, The Scream, was put up for auction(拍卖) at Sotheby’s in New York City this evening and was sold for a record-breaking price. Mr. Munch beat out Pablo Picasso for the most expensive artwork ever auctioned.Its owner, Norwegian businessman Petter Olsen, whose father was a friend, and neighbor of Mr. Munch, sold the painting to fund (资助) a new museum in honor of Mr. Munch’s life and work.Sotheby’s exp ected the price to be $80 million, but $119 million beat out everyo ne’s wildest expectations. Mr. Picasso’s Nude, Green Leaves and Bust was sold in 2010 for just $106.5 million. The auction asking price started at $50 million for the work and lasted just 15 minutes before an unnamed telephone bidder (报价人) gave the final o ffer. The auction room at Sotheby’s exploded in applause.“I have lived with this work all of my life, and its power and energy have only increased with time,” owner Petter Olsen said of The Scream. “Now however, I f eel the moment has come to offer the rest of the world a chance to own and appreciate this remarkable work.” The painting is one of four versions and the only one owned by private collectors; the other three paintings are housed in Norwegian museums.With the proceeds of the sale, Mr. Olsen promised to establish a new museum, art center and hotel in Hvitsten, Norway, dedicated to Mr. Munch’s work and life. It will be opened this year at the same time as Mr. Munch’s 150th anniversary and Mr. Olsen plans on restoring the artist’s home and studio, allowing guests to stay in his home.5. What’s true about the auction of The Scream?A. The auction was held in Norway.B. The price was beyond everyone’s expectations.C. The purpose was to raise money for charity.D. It lasted several days before the final offer was given.6. From the fourth paragraph, we know that Petter Olsen .A. was a painter himselfB. regretted for selling the paintingC. was not satisfied with the auctionD. owned one of the versions of the painting7. Petter Olsen will use the money .A. to buy other versions of the paintingB. to establish a new museum, art center and hotelC. to set up a libraryD. to open up a painting school8. What’s the main idea of the text?A. The Scream selling for a record-breaking price.B. An introduction to a famous painting.C. The purpose of the auction for The ScreamD. Petter Olsen’s dedication to Mr. Munch’s work and life.CWhen a 14-year-old boy from Atlanta, Georgia disappeared earlier this year, his mother turned to her smart phone for clues using an application called Family Tracker that helped track his location (位置). It is one of several apps that allow parents to track the whereabouts of their children.“You can see where your loved ones are without having to call or bother them,” said Roberto Franceschetti of LogSat, the creator of the Family Tracker, which has more than 100,000 users and is available worldwide. Parents can track the location of their child on a map, send messages, and even activate an alarm on the phone from a distance. “We have a choice for the sender to make a very noisy sound. It’s a loud sound and we repeat that sound every two minutes until the person picks up,” he said.Parents don’t need to own a smart phone to track their children. The service is also accessible via the Web, as long as the phone that is being tracked is running the app, which runs on an iPhone or Android devices. The Family Tracker has an additional service that keeps a file of all data generated (产生) by the app for a two-week period.“We keep all the locations where people have been on our servers. You can see where your kid has been for the past two weeks. You can find out where someone was at a certain time, or when that person was at a specific place,” Franceschetti explained.“When somebod y gets abducted (绑架), usually whoever does this throws the phone away or takes the battery out. We were hoping that our app would at least provide information on where the person was abducted or where they had been in the past. That way the police would have a history or some clues as to who they may have been seeing.”But are these types of apps an invasion (侵犯) of privacy? “The advantages are huge compared to the disadvantages. Let’s not forget that the person always has to give initial permission — no one can be tracked unless they allow someone to do it,” said Franceschetti.9. What’s the purpose of mentioning the missing boy in Atlanta in the first paragraph?A. To warn parents of their children’ safety.B. To persuade parents to use the app.C. To bring in the topic of the text.D. To express dissatisfaction with the safety of children.10. The app is mainly used to .A. communicate with family membersB. find out where the family members areC. prevent family members from being abductedD. record the actions of family members11. To track the children with the app, .A. parents have to own a smart phoneB. the children’s phones must be accessible to the WebC. the children’s phones must be running the appD. the parents must be accessible to the Web12. If a child were abducted, Family Tracker could provide the information on .A. who abducted the childB. why the child was abductedC. how the abduction took placeD. where the abduction took placeDHandy Recover y™ is a piece of easy-to-use data recovery software designed to restore files accidentally deleted from hard disks and memory cards.
