2018-2019学年度人教版选修六Unit5The power of nature单元测试英语试卷第二部分阅读(共两节，满分50分)第一节：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。
AIf your kitchen is home to just one type of cooking oil，you are missing out. As well as their unique tastes，different oils have different properties. Here's a summary of cooking techniques and which widely available oil suits each best：FOR GRILLING，BROWNING，AND DEEPFRYINGAlmond (杏仁) oil is a member of the healthy monounsaturated (单一不饱和的) fat group, along with olive and macadamia nut oil. It has a high smoke point (450 ℃)，so it can be used for all kinds of cooking and add that allimportant extra nutty flavor. Store in a cool dry place.FOR BAKING AND STIRFRYINGMacadamia nut oil gives any dish a rich buttery flavor and is full of antioxidants (抗氧化剂) and monounsaturated fats. It can tolerate up to 230 ℃ and will last up to three years if stored in a dry，cool place.FOR LIGHT COOKING，SAUCES，AND LOWHEAT BAKINGSesame (芝麻) oil is often described as the queen of oils and is widely used as a cooking oil in India and a flavor enhancer in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine. Unlike some cooking oils，sesame oil is delicate and will spoil after only a few months. Always store in the refrigerator.FOR COLD SALAD DRESSINGS，DIPS AND MARINADESExtra virgin olive oil is one of the world's healthiest foods and loaded with flavor，which will vary depending on where the olives are grown. If stored in a dark bottle away from light and heat，extra virgin olive oil can last up to 12 months.21．What is the best title of the passage?A．Which oil is your choice?B．How to buy oil?C．How to cook?D．Which cooking technique is the best?22．According to the passage，which two require the same storing condition?A．Almond oil and macadamia nut oil.B．Macadamia nut oil and sesame oil.C．Sesame oil and extra virgin olive oil.D．Extra virgin olive oil and almond oil.23．Which is the best match according to the passage?A．GRILLING，BROWNING，AND DEEPFRYING—macadamia nut oilB．BAKING AND STIRFRYING—sesame oilC．LIGHT COOKING，SAUCES，AND LOWHEAT BAKING—almond oilD．COLD SALAD DRESSINGS，DIPS AND MARINADES — extra virgin olive oilBThe rumor proved all too bitterly true：Park's Hardware, a downtown institution of Orono for over 100 years，would be closing. Locals crossexamined，and begged Lin，the owner of the store，but in vain. Running a small，local，familyowned hardware business was no longer profitmaking. The town's affection for Park's Hardware was just not enough to allow it to compete against the giant warehouse stores.I was one member of the excited masses that began to walk through Park's as，day by day，the lettering on the front window changed from “20% OFF EVERYTHING” to “30%”，“40%”，and on and on，until the only things left were the light sockets (插座) and doorknobs.Compared with giant warehouses，a hardware store is special. I recall the time I was exploring in one giant warehouse for a wireless doorbell that Park's didn't carry. I found the thing，but didn't understand the following note on the pa ckage: “Red light indicates condition of the battery.” “Excuse me，”I said to a clerk，holding the item out，“I can't seem to find the red light.” The man examined it, and said, “Neither can I．”I contrasted this experience with one I routinely had at Park's. “Lin，”I'd beg. “Can you...please...I don't know...do you think...？”And quicker than one could say，“little red light，”Lin would spring into action and together we'd sit down to find the solution.I could buy a single screw (螺丝钉) at Park's. At a warehouse I have no choice but to buy a box of a hundred screws. But I don't want a box of a hundred screws when all I need is one. I just want to know the location of the little red light，and now that Park's is gone，I realize that I never will.24．Why did Park's decide to stop its business?A．The owner invested in other business.B．The owner couldn't make enough money.C．Its location was not convenient for shopping.D．It couldn't win enough affection from the locals.25．What did Park's do before closing?A．It had a closing down sale.B．It struggled for its reorganization.C．It distributed its goods to regulars.D．It looked for a new owner.26．What does the writer's experience in Paragraph 3 indicate?A．The benefit of having more choices.B．The pressure of competition for Park's.C．The good service of Park's.D．The responsible working attitude of large stores.27．What's the writer's tone in writing this passage?A．Humorous.B．Supportive.C．Critical. D．Regretful.CPeople love cellphones，which is why nine in ten Americans own one. But does heavy use of cellphones pose a risk of cancer? This question has caused controversy for many years. A new study in rats now augments those concerns. Its data linked longterm，intense exposure to radiation from cellphones with an increased risk of cancer in the heart or brain. The results have yet to be confirmed，the authors note.Indeed，although the rat study found a link between cellphone radiation and cancer，it offers no clues to why such a link might exist，notes Jonathan Samet. He teaches preventative medicine and directs the Institute for Global Health at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Still，he calls the new study's findings “significant”．They could lead to studies researching how cellphone radiation might cause cancer，he says.Phone signals are relayed between cell towers and cellphones via radio waves. This radio frequency—or RF— radiation is a type known as nonionizing(非电离的)．Unlike Xrays，non-ionizing radiation does not deposit enough energy into cells to release electrons from atoms or molecules，producing ions. So it tends to be far less harmful than ionizing radiation，such as X-rays. But that does not mean radio waves might not cause harm.In very large doses(量) this radiation will heat the body and cause tissue damage. But it's not yet known what much lower RF levels might do，such as those from cellphone use. Five years ago，the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer，or IARC，concluded that cellphone use “is possibly carcinogenic (致癌的)”．Its conclusion was based on what little research data was available at that time. But notice that IARC was not certain. It said only that phone use might “possibly” cause cancer. So scientists at the National Toxicology Program，or NTP，investigated further.28．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “augments”？A．figures out B．puts outC．refers to D．adds to29．In which aspect does Jonathan Samet think the new study in rats is significant?A．It assists him with his teaching.B．It indicates a new research direction.C．It warns people to mind cellphone safety.D．It makes a breakthrough in cancer research.30．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．How phone signals are delivered.B．How cellphones produce radiation.C．Features of radiation from cellphones.D．Differences between ionizing and nonionizing radiation.31．What might be the theme of NTP scientists' further research?A．Why cellphone use causes cancer.B．Whether cellphone use really causes cancer.C．What health effects cellphone use has.D．How much exposure to cellphone radiation is safe.DAmbar presses her hand to her forehead as she considers the question on her screen: how many sevens in 91? The tenyearold has been struggling with it for about a minute when she smiles，“13！” Her tutor responds by posting a large smiling cat picture on her screen—the virtual(虚拟的) meaning of a pat on the back. He is sitting on the other side of the world in an online tutoring centre in India.Ambar，who attends Pakeman Primary School in London，is one of nearly 4,000 primary school children in Britain that have signed up for weekly onetoone maths sessions with tutors based in India and Sri Lanka. The lessons，provided by a company called Third Space Learning，are targeted at pupils struggling with maths—particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.From next year，the platform will become one of the first examples of artificial intelligence (AI) software being used to monitor，and ideally improve teaching. Together with some British scientists，the company has analysed around 100,000 hours of audio and written data from its tutorials(辅导课)，with the goal of identifying what makes a good teacher and a successful lesson.Tom Hooper，the company's CEO，said，“We've recorded every lesson that we've ever done.By using the data，we've been trying to introduce AI to improve the teaching.”But he argued that the aim is not to replace teachers with robots. “There's a slightly dubious(不确定的) conversation about how AI will make humans irrelevant，but it's not at all about replacinghumans，”he said. “Our whole belief is that for children not doing well in the subject，people are what matters.”Pupils on the program have a 45minute session with the same tutor each week. They communicate through a headset and a shared “whiteboard”．The lessons at Pakeman Primary School are tailored to the individual，including visual rewards linked to the child's interests. In addition to the raw audio data，each lesson has various success metrics attached：how many problems are completed，how useful the pupil finds the session，how the tutor rates it.32．Why does the author mention Ambar in the beginning?A．To praise her tutor.B．To show her struggle with maths.C．To introduce a company.D．To encourage pupils to learn maths online.33．What do we know about Third Space Learning?A．It makes good teachers and lessons.B．It is aimed at students from poor backgrounds.C．It is being used to monitor and improve teaching.D．It provides online maths lessons for schoolchildren.34．Which may Tom Hooper agree with?A．AI makes humans irrelevant.B．AI is beneficial to teaching.C．Robots are smarter than humans.D．Robots will replace humans.35．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．What is taught in the lesson?B．How is the lesson taught?C．Who learns the lesson?D．Why is the lesson taught?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。

Unit 5 The power of nature reading学案Mount Kilauea, the world's most active volcano, is on theisland of Hawaii. It is not far from Mauna Loa, the largestvolcano in the world. Mauna Loa and Kilauea together formthe V olcanoes National Park in Hawaii.Mount Kilauea has produced lava (熔岩) more than fiftytimes in the last one hundred years. At this moment, red hot lavais pouring out of Kilauea. It has been doing this since 1983.Sometimes the lava moves slowly. At other times it poursout very fast as a huge amount of pressure (压力) forces itfrom the volcano. During these times, it moves almost asquickly as water moving down the side of a mountain.Sometimes Kilauea produces a large amount of lava thatseems like rivers of fire. When the lava from Kilauea reachesthe ocean, its fierce (凶猛的) heat produces a great amountof steam that rises into the air. The lava is so hot it continuesto burn underwater for some time. The lava from Kilaueacontinues to add land to the island as the volcanoes of Hawaiihave always done.It was these volcanoes that formed theislands of Hawaii. Most of the time the lava of Kilaueaseems to move peacefully toward the ocean. Yet it is not aspeaceful as it seems from a distance.In recent years the lava destroyed one small town on theisland. The liquid (流动的) rock slowly covered the town. Itblocked roads and destroyed them. Nothing can stop the lavaof Kilauea.Experts say the volcanoes of Mauna Loa and Kilauea are a serious threat (威胁) to property on many parts of the island. They also say the volcanoes of the island of Hawaii are proof that the changing environment of Earth is and will always remain beyond human control.Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading — Pre-reading[原文呈现][读文清障]AN EXCITING JOBI have the greatest job in the world. I travel to unusual places and work alongside①people from all over the world. Sometimes working outdoors, sometimes in an office, sometimes using scientific equipment② and sometimes meeting local people and tourists, I am never bored. Although my job is occasionally③ dangerous, I don't mind because danger excites me and makes me feel alive. However, the most important thing about my job is that I help protect ordinary people from④one of the most powerful forces on earth — the volcano.I was appointed⑤as a volcanologist working for the Hawaiian V olcano Observatory⑥(HVO) twenty years ago. My job is collecting information for a database⑦about Mount Kilauea⑧，which is one of the most active volcanoes in Hawaii. Having collected and evaluated⑨ the information, I help other scientists to predict where lava from the volcano will flow next and how fast. Our work has saved many lives because people in the path of the lava can be warned⑩ to leave their houses. Unfortunately, we cannot move their homes out of the way⑪，and many houses have been covered with lava or burned to the ground⑫. ①alongside/əˌlɒŋ'saId/adv.在旁边；沿着边prep.在……旁边；沿着……的边②equipment/I'kwIpmənt/n.[U]设备；装备③occasionally adv.偶尔；间或④protect ... from保护……免于⑤appoint/ə'pɔInt/vt.任命；委派be appointed as ... 被任命为……⑥observatory/əb'zɜːvətrI; US-tɔːrI/n.观象台；天文台；气象台⑦database/'deItəˌbeIs/n.数据库；资料库⑧Mount Kilauea/kIlə'wIə/基拉韦厄火山⑨evaluate/I'væljʊeIt/vt.评估；评价；估计⑩warn sb.

我跑的地方是稀罕奇特的地方，和我一道工作的人来自世界各地。
(我们)有时在室外工作，有时在办公室里，有时(工作中)要用科学仪器，有时要会见当地百姓和旅游人士，我从来不感到(工作)无聊。
虽然我的工作偶尔也有危险，但是我并不在乎，因为危险能使我兴奋，使我感到有活力。
然而，最重要的是，通过我的工作能帮助保护普通百姓免遭火山的威胁——这是世界上最大的自然威力之一。
20年前，作为一名火山学家，我被派到夏威夷火山观测站(HVO)工作。
我的任务是收集有关基拉韦厄火山的数据资料，这是夏威夷最活跃的火山之一。
收集和评估这些信息之后，我就帮助其他科学家一起预测熔岩接着将流向何处，流速是多少。
我们的工作拯救了许多人的生命，因为熔岩要流经之地，老百姓都可以得到离开家园的通知。
遗憾的是，我们不可能把他们的家搬离岩浆流经之路，因此，许多房屋被熔岩淹没，或者焚烧殆尽。
When boiling rock erupts from a volcano and crashes back to earth, it causes less damage⑬rocks fall. The lava that flows slowly like a wave⑮down the mountain⑯causes far more damage because it buries everything in its path under the molten⑰rock. However, the eruption⑱itself is really exciting to watch⑲ and I shall never forget my first sight of one. It was in the second week after I arrived in Hawaii. Having worked hard all day, I went to bed early. I was fast asleep⑳ when suddenly my bed began shaking and I heard a strange sound, like a railway train passing my window. Having experienced quite a few earthquakes in Hawaii already, I didn't take much notice. I was about to go back to sleep when suddenly my bedroom became as bright as day. I ran out of the house into the back garden where I could see Mount Kilauea in the distance○21.
