高中英语学习材料（灿若寒星*制作整理）14-15学年北师大高一上学期Unit1Lesson3-4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)AAt noon I was stopped at the traffic light and saw a homeless man walking up and down in the street. It was a hot day.“This will make him smile,” I thought. I turned my car towards a frozen yogurt (酸奶酪) shop. I took a cup and filled it and came to the counter to weigh it. I wanted to add some toppings, something delicious put on the top, but my change was not enough for that, so I asked the lady if she would take a $100 bill. She said she wasn’t allowed to accept a bill that large. So I just paid for the yogurt.As I was about to leave, she said, “Madam, don’t disappoint (使失望) your child. Please add their favorite toppings.” I turned to her and said, “Thanks, but this is not for my child. It’s for the homeless man in the street.” She smiled with surprise and said, “Oh! That’s really sweet of you. God bless you.” She thought for a moment, and then she said, “I think we can do better than that.”She took a bigger cup, filled it nicely and covered it with colorful toppings. Then she handed it to me and said, “This is from me. Please give it to the homeless man. Let’s treat him nicely.” Now it was my turn to be s urprised. I said, “Thanks a lot.” Then I left with a big smile on my face. On the way I said to myself, “Angels are real, aren’t they? I believe them because I saw one today!”1. The author turned her car towards the shop in order to .A. buy herself a cup of frozen yogurtB. cool herself in the frozen yogurt shopC. ask someone there to change a $100 billD. make the homeless man in the street happy2 The lady in the shop at first thought that the author .A. bought something for her childB. was going to do a good deedC. didn’t need to add some toppingsD. would be disappointed without toppings in her yogurt3. We can learn from the passage that .A. the author got a lot of colorful toppings for freeB. the author realized that the lady was very kind in the beginningC. the homeless man would probably receive two cups of yogurtD. the lady was so moved that she didn’t take the author’s moneyB“The British and Americans are two peoples separated by a common language.”— Oscar WildeThough American English has become much different from British English, more and more British words and phrases are becoming common in American English. Here are some examples.BloodyIf there is anything Americans like, it’s a good word to express their great anger. For example, “It’s bloody cold out there! What a bloody and costly failure!” Bloody is now well accepted by most Americans. It’s a way of swearing (咒骂) in America.Chat upThe British expression “chat up” for flirting (搭讪) is m uch gentler than the American expression “hit on”. That may be why more Americans are using “chat up” especially when talking about their own actions.GingerBefore the first Harry Potter book came out, Americans only used the word ginger when referring to the spice (调味品). Ginger has almost always been a color as well as a spice for the British. Now more and more Americans are talking about “ginger cats” and “ginger hair”.Sell-by dateMore and more American members of the media are using this British term in place of the American term “expiration date” on which something, such as a license, is no longer in effect. American products are also using this term, which is a bit more descriptive than “expiration date”.Spot onIn the 1970s, the American expressi on “right on” was popular, which had the same meaning as “exactly right”, but it has become out of date. Now, the British expression “spot on” has taken the place of “right on”.4. The British will complain about the cold weather by saying “”.A. it’s bloody cold todayB. the weather chats upC. the weather has too much bloodD. what a bloody day5. According to the passage, “a ginger cat” refers to a cat that .A. enjoys eating gingerB. has yellow furC. smells like gingerD. likes the color yellow6. What does the “sell-by date” of the products mean?A. The price of the products.B. The rights that the producers should have.C. The date when the products are produced.D. The date after which the products should not be sold.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. English—a common languageB. How does American English develop?C. British English is entering American EnglishD. Differences between American English and British EnglishCWho are your favorite teachers? My classmates and I were asked this question on the first day at the university many years ago. It was a great way to begin my career in teaching—thinking about people in the profession who had the most positive (积极的) influence on me. We were asked to write down our answers. I thought of Sister Mary Margaret and Sister Mary Anne, who taught me in the kindergarten. I thought of Mrs. Padgett and Mrs. Kofford, English teachers, and Mr. Kutras, a history teacher, in high school. Then I thought of Dr. Lincoln and Dr. Campbell, history professors, and Dr. Kirk, an English professor, who taught me in college. Then came this question, “What do they all have in common?” My hand went up first and I s aid, “They all loved what they were doing. They had great enthusiasm (积极性) for teaching.” All of my fellow graduate students nodded their heads.That was the right answer Dr. McSweeney expected. He said, “I ask these questions every year, and I always get the same answers.” He went on to explain that he opened with these questions because they were proved to make things have a good start, and they would make future teachers think about what separates the great teachers from the not-so-great. He said, “We a ll remember our favorite teachers—the ones who had passion (激情) and enthusiasm, the ones who loved and enjoyed what they were doing. I want each of you to become that kind of teacher. Always remember those special teachers.” It was a statement I never forg ot during my thirty-five years in the classroom.8.

By starting with those questions Dr. McSweeney wished his students to .A. become great teachersB. enjoy his lessonC. remember him foreverD. tell great teachers from common ones11. What can we learn about the author from the passge?A. He works in a university.B. He is actually a teacher.C. He likes Dr. McSweeney best.D. He was always the best student in school.DSitting in her yard in Hartford, Connecticut, nine-year-old Alice Cogswell watched the children playing games. From the ir faces she could tell that they were laughing. But she couldn’t hear their voices. Alice had been deaf, living in a quiet world since a serious illness took away her hearing when she was 2.The year was 1814, and few opportunities (机会) were given to children like Alice. Unable to hear or talk, she didn’t attend school. There were no teachers to teach deaf children across America. In those days, most people believed that deaf children couldn’t learn at all.One day, her neighbor, Thomas Gallaudet, notice d that Alice wasn’t playing with other kids. When he tried to speak to her, he realized that she couldn’t hear. But he couldn’t miss her bright and curious eyes. Placing his hat on the ground, he spelt the letters h-a-t. Alice understood, and soon Gallaudet became her teacher.Gallaudet had learnt about schools for the deaf in Europe. He thought, “Why shouldn’t Alice and other deaf children in the United States have such a school?” Encouraged by Alice’s progress, Gallaudet decided to go to Europe to learn their ways. After 15 months there, Gallaudet returned to Connecticut, together with Laurent Clerc, a teacher from a famous school for the deaf in Paris, France.Gallaudet and Clerc opened the country’s first deaf school in 1817. There were 33 teachers and students at the very beginning, including Alice. They created the American Sign Language, which was based partly on the French sign language and partly on signs the students invented. Deaf students could now learn subjects like reading, history and math, as well as skills like shoemaking and cabinetmaking (家具制造) for boys and housekeeping for girls.12. Which of the following about deaf children in the US before 1814 is TRUE?A. They were treated as normal kids in schools.B. They communicated with others with the help of a sign language.C. It was almost impossible for them to receive an education.D. They weren’t allowed to play games with normal kids.13. Gallaudet taught Alice to learn the first word by .A. using a sign languageB. combining a thing with a wordC. playing games together with herD. telling her how to write the letters on her own14. What can be learned from the passage?A. Alice made some progress in her studies.B. Alice was deaf when she was born.C. Laurent Clerc created the American Sign Language.D. Only boys were allowed to learn the skill in making shoes in America.15. The passage is mainly about .A.

So far I have not done any things that are really interesting. I have not seen a natural wonder of the world. I have not thought up any amazing ideas. I have not met anyone famous. I have not even swum in the Pacific Ocean.Some weeks ago, I read an article written by a teenager. He has cancer and doesn’t have many days left. He is traveling around the world to do what he really wants to do before he dies. What he wrote made me realize that I need to go out and experience life. It is not like I am unhappy with my life now. I just think there is much more to see and do outside my home and school.Mahatma Gandhi said, “Learn as if you we re to live forever. Live as if you were to die tomorrow.” This quote makes me have a strong desire (渴望) to experience a more exciting life. The life given us by nature is short, but the memory of a life well spent lasts forever. I hope that when I look bac k on my life many years from now, I will be able to say, “I saw that, I did that, and I was a part of that.” Now I do not know what “that” is, but if it is something special enough to remember fifty, sixty, or seventy years later, I will be happy to do it.36.

This year’s winner is a little different.Shigeru Ban has designed museums, homes and concert halls. But Ban is best known for a more simple kind of work: the temporary (暂时的) buildings for people who became homeless after disasters.Ban may be the only designer in the world who makes buildings out of paper —cardboard paper tubes (管). Ban actually tested the strength of cardboard tubes, and said he was surprised by what he had discovered. He has used them to build temporary buildings in Japan, Haiti, China and elsewhere.“After a disaster, the building material is going to be more expensive,” Ban explains. “But the paper tube is actually not a building material. It is cheap and plentiful. We can get the material easily anywhere. And unlike costs for traditional building materials, the price of paper tubes doesn’t jump after an earthquake or flood. The tubes are also lightweight, so you don’t need heavy machines to work with them.”Ban started using cardboard paper tubes in the 1980s. At that time he had just graduated from the architecture school, and he was looking for a cheap substitute for wood. So he started reusing the paper cardboard tubes that were left over from rolls of paper in his office.Ban was born in Tokyo and studied architecture in the U.S. before moving back to Japan to start his practice. Some of Ban’s temporary buildings have become permanent (永久的), like the paper church he built after the 1995 earthquake in Kobe, Japan.43. The author uses the first paragraph to .A. raise an argumentB. give an introductionC. give an exampleD. offer a description44. What is special about Shigeru Ban?A. He failed to get this year’s architecture prize.B. He graduated from the best architecture school in the U.S.C. He is good at building houses for homeless people.D. He builds special houses for special groups of people.45. Why did Shigeru Ban choose cardboard paper tubes?A. Because they are cheap and easy to take away.B. Because they are strong and last for a long time.C. Because they are plentiful and look very beautiful.D. Because they are common and hard to break.46. What does the underlined word “substitute” probably refer to?A. A new way of building houses by using wood.B. A new method of producing cardboard paper tubes.C. A new kind of building material to take the place of wood.D. A new machine to produce a new kind of building material.DWe now only sleep for six hours and 41 minutes each night and half of us have no chance of a weekend lie-in, a new study shows. And it seems even during the week, we are struggling to get enough shut-eye.It is said that two-thirds of us are sleeping for only six hours and 27 minutes every night, one hour and 33 minutes shorter than the normal daily amount (总额) of sleep — eight hours. More than 27 percent are getting less sleep than they did a year ago. Instead of a weekend lie-in, most people will choose 11 minutes of extra snooze button (睡眠键) time, which could be bad for health. 68 percent now use their mobile phone to wake them up every morning. Four out of ten adults say they set their wake-up call earlier than needed, then hit the snooze button on their mobile phones twice for an 11 minutes’ rest, in order to make their bodies feel like they have had more sleep.Professor Stevie Williams said, “Setting your alarm clock much earlier and continually pressing the sn ooze button actually makes you feel even weaker after a night’s sleep. Napping in this way can make you miss out on the important REM sleep, which happens just before you wake up. And it is necessary for you to use the weekend to catch up on the sleep debt during the week.”A third of adults are kept awake at night because of money worries, a quarter can’t fall asleep due to family problems, and just under one-fifth worry about work stresses. Being short of sleep is extremely harmful to a person’s heath and well-being. But we have to stop treating sleep as a luxury (奢侈品), and realize that it is necessary to get eight hours of sleep every night.47. What can we know about REM sleep?A. We should avoid it before we wake up each day.B. It happens before we wake up and is good for our health.C. It’s useless to enjoy this stage of sleep before we wake up.D. It can do harm to our health as it makes us wake up earlier.48. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph?A. To show what keeps us awake.B. To tell us why we need to treat sleep seriously.C. To give us some tips on how to get a sound sleep.D. To offer some evidence that sleep is a kind of luxury.49. The author writes the passage in order to tell us that we should .A. avoid working late into the nightB. get enough sleep and know its importanceC. try to keep a balance between family and workD. replace the unhealthy lifestyle with a healthy one50. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. What an eight-hour sleep meansB. Why people need to sleep every dayC. How to get a sound sleepD. Enough sleep is very important\EAre African wild dogs really dogs? What’s the difference between African wild dogs and the dogs we know as pets? For one thing, African wild dogs, which live in Africa, only have four toes, while domestic (驯养的) dogs and wolves have five. But you won’t want to count for yourself, because they are truly wild animals.“Wild dogs are not somebody’s domestic dogs that ran away and didn’t come back, although some people used to think that,” explains Dr. McNutt, w ho studies these animals at Wild Dog Research Camp in the African country of Botswana. “They are actually Africa’s wolves, and just like wolves, they do not make good pets. They need to be out in the wild doing what they are supposed to do — find the food they need to sur vive and feed their babies.” In fact, they travel so far that researchers have to use radio collars (颈圈) to keep track of them. The collars send out radio signals that tell people where the dogs are. No two wild dogs have the same pattern of coats, so it is easy to tell them apart.African wild dogs are smart and sociable, like pet dogs. Adult dogs, male and female, are willing to take good care of young ones.Millions of domestic dogs live on the planet, but there are probably fewer than 6,000 African wild dogs left. Humans hunt them, and farmers who don’t want them to go after cows and sheep poison them. Humans are also destroying the wild, natural habitat (栖息地) they need to survive in. Fortunately, today more farmers are finding other ways to protect their cows and sheep from African wild dogs instead of killing the animals.51. Which of the following can explain why African wild dogs are different from domestic dogs?A. African dogs can live longer than domestic dogs.B. African dogs have fewer toes than domestic dogs.C. African dogs are much bigger in size than domestic dogs.D. African dogs are much more dangerous than domestic dogs.52. In Dr. McNutt’s view, African wild dogs .A. are a kind of wolvesB. can be trained as pet dogsC. actually are missing domestic dogsD. generally are not used to living in groups53. What’s the researchers’ purpose of using radio collars?A. To know where African wild dogs go.B. To play games with African wild dogs.C. To tell African wild dogs apart from other dogs.D. To prevent African wild dogs from traveling too far.54. What suggestion does the author give in the last paragraph?A. Farmers should use domestic dogs to fight against wild dogs.B. African wild dogs should be protected instead of being killed.C. Farmers should take responsibility for feeding African wild dogs.D. African wild dogs should be used to protect farmers’ cows and sheep.55. Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage?A. How to keep wild dogsB. How to train domestic dogsC. An introduction to African wild dogsD. Differences between domestic dogs and wild dogs第三部分写作(共两节, 满分35分)第一节短文填词(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1)汉语提示，2)首字母提示，3)语境提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词，并将该词完整地写在右边相对应的横线上。

Unit 1 LifestyleLesson 3 A volunteer teacher同步辅导与测试一般将来时也译为单纯将来时。

例A：I shall not come if it rains tomorrow.（如明天下雨我就不来。

）例B：My brother will leave for the United States next week.（我的哥哥下星期要到美国去。

）解说从句式我们可以了解一般将来时的表达须借助于助动词“shall／will”。

关于“shall／will”的用法，传统文法谈得很多，同时各文法学家的理论也不很一致。

更重要的是英国人和美国人对“shall／will”的用法规则并不很一致，也不很严谨，所以本书拟只提供下面的五个规则，相信各位只要把下面这五个规则学通了，你的“shall／will”的用法就可以中规中矩了。

①说或写都尽量使用“I'll, You'll, He'll , She'll , It'll, We'll , They'll …”的简缩形（如用法例2、3）。

②要表达主语的“意志”，通常都用“will”（文法上称为意志将来。

）例A：I won't see him again.（我不愿意再和他见面。

）例B：Who will go and help that poor old man?（谁愿意去帮助那个可怜的老人？）Mary will . （玛莉愿意。

）③说话者要把自己的“意志”表达或行使出去，通常用“shall”。

例A：You shall not do that again.（你不可以再做那样的事。

）例B：He shall return that book tomorrow.（明天他必须把那本书归还。

）④第一人称问句使用“shall”。

例A：Shall I call you a taxi ?（需要我替你叫一辆出租车吗？）例B：Shall we tell her the truth ?（我们可以把实情告诉她吗？）⑤问句是“Shall…?”，答句就用“shall ~”；问句用“Will …？”，答句就用“will ~ ”。

He had designed it so well that, when a great rainstorm arrived which flooded nearly the whole woods and the homes of many animals, his remained untouched.Soon, one after another, the homeless animals came to his door, asking if they could spend the winter with him in his house. He invited each visitor in, and gradually the house filled up until there was no room left. This discomfort didn’t bother the rabbit, because he felt he was being generous.One day in spring, when all the animals had returned to their old homes, the rabbit was jumping about so absent-mindedly that he didn’t realize that a lynx (山猫) was lying in wait for him. One of the animals who had spent the winter in the rabbit’s house saw this, and warned the rabbit just in time, shouting an invitation to the rabbit to quickly take shelter in his home.The lynx destroyed the rabbit’s home, but the rabbit managed to escape and run to hide in the home of another friend. For a whole day, the lynx followed the rabbit from burrow (地洞) to burrow, from cave to cave, but the rabbit always managed to save his life, helped all the time by the friends he had offered shelter to in the winter.He felt very happy, not only for having escaped the lynx, but also at having made so many friends in the forest, thanks to his own generosity.1.

A lot of kids in my neighborhood knew how to ride. I wanted toalso. All the boys told me I couldn’t do it because I was a girl. I was determined to prove them wrong, so Brett let me try his bike. I wasn’t on for one minute before I fell off. He came over to see if I was OK, but then started laughing.That night I told my dad the whole story about how I wanted to be as good as boys. A few days later my dad told me he had found a nice bike. He brought it home and that was when I became the laughing stock of the neighborhood. All the boys thought it was a joke that I actually wanted to learn how to ride.My dad spent four long weeks teaching me everything I needed to know about the bike and the basics of riding. Day after day and night after night he worked with me, and I began to progress.Each ride on my dirt bike, I got a little better, and finally I was ready for my first time on the trails.

Hershey chocolate has become famous around the world.Milton Hershey grew up in the rolling farm country of Pennsylvania. Milton Hershey first trained to become a printer. He worked for a small newspaper at first, and then decided that printing was not the right job for him.Then he got a job at a candy factory in Pennsylvania. After working a few years, he decided to open his own candy business. His first business had to close down because it was not making money. After closing down his first business, he traveled to Denver, Colorado to learn how to make caramels (焦糖).He took his new skills back to New York and worked selling candies in the street. But this second business also failed.Finally, Milton Hershey moved back to the farm hills where he grew up. He then experimented with all sorts of different candies and chocolates. The area where he lived had lots of dairy farms, so he had a large and easy supply of fresh milk.And he could get other supplies, such as sugar, from nearby Philadelphia. By 1893 he earned a million dollars per year. Since his chocolate dipped and chocolate flavored caramels were best sellers, he decided to make chocolate himself.By experimenting, Milton Hershey discovered how to make delicious chocolate by using fresh sweet condensed (浓缩的) milk. His milk chocolates were so popular that he sold his caramel factory and focused his business on making chocolate only.In 1903, Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory and an entire town to go with it.

If you didn’t do well in the fitness test every year, and if you didn’t have a talent for fielding balls or using the gymnastics equipment, PE classes were mostly an experience that will hurt your self-confidence. In games such as dodge ball (躲球游戏), where the least-skilled aren’t included, only the athletically gifted got the playing time.The male-centered, competitive way has been especially difficult for girls, because many of them enjoy doing cooperative activities more.There’s also little “physical” in too many of today’s physical education classes. Kids in PE classes should be active for at least 50 percent of the time. Researchers have found, however, that kids take part in energetic activity for only a few minutes in a typical class. The rest of the time is spent standing around while the teacher takes attendance, or waiting for a turn to shoot a basket or hit a ball.PE classes in many of today’s schools are taught the same as it was in the 1950s. Fortunately, PE reformers (改革家) have created new programs that are being tried in a few schools. The emphasis (重点) is not on competition but on helping kids build skills and develop an interest in some activities they will enjoy doing on their own. In the new-style PE classes, games are designed to pay less attention to competition and replace (取代) it with cooperation.12.
