课后分层集训Unit 2 The environment (B卷)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·湖南省六校联考)It's nearly 50 years since the US landed men on the moon，but Americans are still dying from a disease that ravaged (毁坏) Europe in the Middle Ages.Why hasn't the US removed the plague(瘟疫)?The Black Death caused about 50 million deaths across Africa，Asia and Europe in the 14th century.It wiped out up to half of Europe's population.Its last terrifying outbreak in London was the Great Plague of 1665，which killed about a fifth of the city's inhabitants.Then there was a 19th Century spread of the Black Death in China and India，which killed more than 12 million.But the disease has not been got rid of.It still exists in Madagascar，the Democratic Republic of Congo and Peru.What's perhaps more surprising is that it is still killing people in the US.There have been 15 cases in the US so far this year—compared to an average of seven，according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—and the figure of four deaths is higher than in any year this century.The bacterium (细菌) responsible—yersinia pestis—was introduced to the US by rat­infested steamships in 1900，according to Daniel Epstein of the World Health Organization (WHO)．“Plagu e was pretty common，with its widespread outbreak in Western port cities.But the last urban plague was in Los Angeles in 1925.It spread to rural rats and mice，and that's how it became deep­rooted in parts of the US，”he says.The disease—typically transmitted from animals to humans by fleas—has a 30­to­60% death rate if left untreated.However，antibiotics are effective if patients are diagnosed early.Most cases occur in summer，when people spend more time outdoors.“The advice is，take pre­cautions against flea bites and don't handle dead bodies of animals in plague areas，” says Epstein.The areas in question are New Mexico，Arizona，California and Colorado，according to the CDC.All of this year's cases originated in those states，or in other states west of the 100th meridian(西经100度)，which Dr. Amesh Adalja，an infectious disease specialist at the University of Pittsburgh's Center for Health Security，refers toas “the plague line”．“Prairie dogs are the main reservoir(储藏所) for plague，and they tend to be west of the 100th meridian，” he says.The geography and climate of the Western US suits them，he explains，and the fact that they are “social animals” helps the infected fleas to spread.It's the existence of this “animal reservoir” that makes the plague hard，if not impossible，to wipe out，experts say.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

Each word or phrase can only be used once. Note that there is one word or phrase more than you need.It's the customary bedtime practice every parent would feel fearful ----being asked to read the same book for many times. But while the 35 repetition might be boring for mum or dad, it is the best way for toddlers to learn new words, according to research.The findings suggest parents are wasting money by spending a fortune on huge book collections in the hope they will inspire their little ones. Instead, a small selection of favourites such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar or The Gruffalo will 36 far more.Dr Jessica Horst, of the University of Sussex‟s WORD Lab devised an experiment to check how quickly three -year -olds could recognize and 37 six new words. The children were visited three times in a week. One group heard the same story three times back -to -back each time and another was read three 38 stories. All had the same 39 of new words which appeared the same amount of times.When researchers returned a week later, they found the children who heard the same story over and over had 40 learned 3.6 of the new words. While those 41 to a variety of stories remembered only 2.6.They also noted the …repetition‟ group learned at a faster rate than those in the “ 42 ” group.Dr Horst said: …We are showing that less is more, to a point. And, 43 , the more times you read to a child and the more books you have will help them. But you don‟t need to go crazy and buy every single Thomas the Tank Engine book. Reading the same books over and overagainhelps.‟Speaking of the 44 studies, we have found one in three don‟t read to their children before putting them to bed. Yet 30 minutes of one-on-one literacy sessions can improve reading age by nearly two years in less than five months.III Cloze:(15%)Is the world really going mad?The other day I was sitting in a restaurant45 a quick drink and a talk with a few friends when it suddenly46 me that almost everyone in the restaurant was smoking.

A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站). “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!60. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A. She knew the car drivers well.B. She wanted to show kindness.C. She hoped to please others.D. She had seven tickets.61. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?A. Judy Foreman.B. Natalie Smith.C. Alice Johnson.D. Anne Herbert.62. Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence above?A. Kindness and violence can change the world.B. Kindness and violence can affect one’s behavior.C. Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.D. Kindness and violence can shape one’s character.63. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. People should practice random kindness to those in need.B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.(B)A Guide to the University64. Where and when can you cook your own food?A. The Globe, FridayB. The Lower Café, SundayC. The TWU Cafeteria , FridayD. The McMillan Hall , Sunday.65. The Guide tells us that the Wellness Centre_________.A. is open six days a weekB. offers services free of chargeC. trains students in medical careD. gives advice on mental health66. How can you seek help from the Writing Centre?A.By applying onlineB. By calling the centreC. By filling in a sign-up formD. By going to the centre directly67. What is the function of TWU Express?A. To carry students to the lecture halls.B. To provide students with campus toursC. To take students to the Mattson Centre.D. To transport students to and from the stores.(C)Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The herds of bulls and horses depicted running along the walls of the Lascaux caves in France are among the most magnificent examples of prehistoric art ever discovered.But rather than displaying hunting scenes, new evidence suggests that the images actually represent the frightening sounds which came from the mouths of the caves.US researcher Steven Waller believes that the echoes(回声) of clapping outside the cave would have sounded like hundreds of animal feet drumming on the ground. He proposes that the caves were preserved for their sound properties, which prehistoric peoples mistook for supernatural noises.Ancient stories explained echoes from the mouths of certain giant caves as replies from spirits, so our ancestors chose to decorate these caves with paintings believing that they were inhabited by spirits and gods.Beside animal sounds, many ancient cultures attributed thunder in the sky to …thunder gods,‟ so it makes sense that some lasting echoes within the caves were interpreted as thunder and inspired paintings of those thunder gods on cave walls.The idea is also supported by audio theory, which shows statistically significant similarities between the rock are sites and modern sound reflection equipment.As for the presence of the famous Stonehenge(巨石阵) in Britain, Mr. Walker also suggests it may have been the sound of the prehistoric monument, rather than the sight, that inspired its creation.He claims that its architects may have been trying to recreate a sound-effect similar to theritual sound made during religious dancing.People taking part in a religious dance around a pair of pipes would have heard the music grow quieter as they moved past certain pipes due to a natural phenomenon known as an …interference pattern.‟ If they were blindfold, it would have created the illusion that the sound was intermittently being reduced by invisible gods as they danced. According to Dr. Walker, the effects became so impressive that ancient people attempted to capture it in store. Therefore the Stonehenge appeared.However some British experts said that it was clear that Stonehenge had been created overseveral centuries rather than being …thrown up overnight.‟They claimed that there was no question in the traditional view that lining up along the mid-summer sunrise and mid-winter sunset was the ultimate purpose for its building.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)68. According to ancient people, who lived in the big caves?69. Modern sound science finds that ____ and _____ have much in common.70. According to Walker, how was the sound made weaker during religious dancing?71. The traditional view believes that Stonehenge was built in order to ______.Complete the sentences using the given phrases in their proper forms:72.Nowadays, many students______________________playing online games.73.Experts suggested that we should read more________________________.74.___________________facility and scale,our school is really a modern school.75.So far, Shanghai______________________an international financial center.76.Experts say that drinking tea along with meal_______________the body’s absorption of iron.77.He saved the only man who__________________the car crash at the cost of his life.78.____________should we waste our youth.Or we will certainly regret in old age.79.The teacher tried her best_________students_________various class activities.80.China is faced with the serious problem of environment,__________that of population.81.The successful bidding for the winter Olympic Games_______________the sport history of our country.Translation:82.当他发现没有房间的时候，他茫然不知所措。

But what is the exact meaning of friendship? No one can really offer a definite concept, because different people hold various views on friendship.Everyone has his own friendship and some have alot of friends. But in fact, quantity is not so important as quality. Loyalty is the most importantfor friendship. No one wants to make friends with those who will betray them.No matter whether you are married or not， no matter where you live and work， your friends are your friends. It is not based on bloodline. It relies on your intention. To you， some friends are fun-loving，some give encouragement， some offer knowledge， and others help you to find your own identity. Before your friends， you may act as a supervisor， a learned brother， a lovely child， a gentleman or a playmate. In a word， friendship helps you to be a full person. So friendship can benefit.Keys:1---5 BCCBA 6---10 BCBBC 11--- 15 CABAA16. concept / concepts 17. quantity 18. betrayed 19. intention 20. your own identityPart II Language Knowledge (45 marks)Section A (15 marks)Directions: Beneath each of the followingsentences there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D.
