单元检测卷(四)第Ⅰ卷(共105分)第一部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分55分)第一节单项填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

1．Scientists say it may be five or ten years ________ it is possible to test this medicine on human patients.A．since B．beforeC．after D．when答案 B解析句意为：科学家说还要等五到十年，才有可能用这种药对病人做试验。

since从……以来；before在……以前；after在……以后；when当……的时候。

It is...before...还有……才……，符合句意。

2．Entering the garden，I found it ________ with ______ leaves.A．covering；fallen B．covered；fallingC．covering；falling D．covered；fallen答案 D解析考查分词。

it 和cover之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词作宾补，排除A、C两项；fallen leaves指已经落下的叶子，而falling leaves指正在下落的叶子，不合题意。

3．Mary ________ in Shanghai since 2006，but she still can’t understand Chinese well. A．lived B．has livedC．has been living D．lives答案 C解析句意为：自从2006年玛丽就在上海居住，但她还是不能很好地听懂汉语。

与时间状语since 2006连用的应是现在完成时态。

由句意可知并不强调对现在造成的影响，故不用现在完成时。

用现在完成进行时表示动作live从过去开始，一直持续到现在，并有可能持续下去。

1．Everyone will go through life stages of ups and downs, ________ self－respect plays a key role in the maturity of a person.A．when B．which C．as D．that答案 A解析考查定语从句。

句中do you think为插入语，由于插入语已经采用了一般疑问句的语序，故它后面的部分用陈述语序；it will be＋一段时间＋before...意为“要过多久才能……”。

3．Much to my________，most of the people ________ to the party were old friends.A．astonishing; invitingB．astonished; invitedC．astonishment; invitingD．astonishment; invited答案 D解析句意：令我非常惊讶的是，被邀请来参加晚会的大多数人都是老朋友。

AAs the summer season heats up, some people like to take a dip into the ocean or the pools, and others like to dip into their summer reading.Here are some titles to get you started whether you are on the beach or just wish you were.What I Remember Most by Cathy LambGrenadine is falsely accused of a crime.Her ex­husband is unwilling to exonerate (使免罪) her unless she comes back to him.Grenadine leaves Portland and takes off for the mountains of central Oregon.In Pineridge, the collage artist and painter begins a new life, with new friends and high hopes that her old life doesn't catch up with her.Dear Carolina by Kristy Woodson HarveyDear Carolina is a heartwarming story written to baby Carolina by both her birth mother and her adoptive one.A tale of female friendship and family bonds, Dear Carolina is the right choice of humor, heart and romance for getting through a day on the beach.This is a story that proves families aren't born but are made.French Coast by Anita HughesSet on the beautiful Cote D'Azur, French Coast is the best beach read.Filled with descriptions of the gorgeous clothes and locations found in Cannes, you will feel like you are walking along the Boulevard de la Croisette or sitting in a beach chair on La Plage.Fugitive Colors by Lisa BarrHow far would you go for your passion？Fugitive Colors is a tale of friends, and the betrayal on the“eve”of the WWⅡ.Twists and turns, and loss and hope will keep the pages turning as you journey from Chicago to Paris and Berlin to New York.The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy E．ReichertThe Coincidence of Coconut Cake is a delightful novel about a talented chef and the food critic who brings down her restaurant.Their accidental meeting turns into a sweetromance of mistaken identities.1．Grenadine leaves Portland and runs all the way to Pineridge because she ________．A．is accused of a crime not done by herB．doesn't want to see her husbandC．really looks forward to a new lifeD．has broken the law and has to escape2．Whose book should you read if you want to read a moving story of a family?A．Kristy Woodson Harvey's.B．Anita Hughes'.C．Cathy Lamb's.D．Lisa Barr's.3．The author thinks French Coast is the best beach read because it's ________．A．very fun to readB．extremely relaxingC．set on the Cote D'AzurD．not long and can be finished soonBI did an experiment by talking to strangers recently.Here are some things I experienced during the experiment.On October 9th, while visiting my family hometown for a wedding, I met a man sitting on the side of the hotel pool.We started talking.It turned out that he had just moved to the area with his family from Chicago.I told him what I knew about the community, the schools, and particular neighborhoods where he was looking to buy a house.He was grateful to me for my information.The interaction made me feel useful and valuable.On May 20th, we had three men from a tree trimming(修剪) company visiting our house to cut back our trees.Normally, I would let them work outside without engaging them in conversation.This time, after they finished their work, I asked one of the tree trimmers, only half­joking, if they fell off trees frequently.One of the tree trimmers said that he had been climbing trees for 27 years and reported he had fallen out of a tree once and hurt his knee.I loved that conversation.I didn't always talk to someone whose jobwas to climb up trees, but it was interesting for learning about how they did it.I also realized I learned something new.On May 30th, I went to an outdoor block party on Friday night, along with my wife and our 3­month­old baby.Our baby was wearing oversized noise­cancelling headphones that truly looked pretty ridiculous on a baby.When I tried to talk with others, they immediately started talking with me after seeing the baby.I found it was almost very easy to start talking with people when you had a baby with you.All in all, I felt great about most of my interactions with strangers.Almost every interaction left me feeling a little happier.I also felt I learned new things by talking to people from different walks of life who I wouldn't normally meet.4．The man was grateful to the author because ________．A．he made his first friend thereB．he gained some useful informationC．the author helped him kill the timeD．the author helped him make a decision5．The tree trimmer who talked with the author ________．A．didn't like talking to strangersB．was a respectable workerC．wasn't a very careful manD．got injured once at work6．What did the author probably learn from the experience on May 30th?A．Babies are great conversation starters.B．It's inconvenient to go out with a baby.C．People love looking at ridiculous babies.D．It's not challenging to talk with strangers.7．At this experiment, the author most probably found it ________．A．useless B．excitingC．rewarding D．embarrassingCEvery year, my son and I visit the Art Institute in Chicago for a day. This pastspring, as we were walking in the halls, we came across an exhibit of furniture from the past 50 years. I watched my son's eyes grow wide as we walked through. Afterwards, he looked at me and said, “Mom, I get it now. A couch can be a work of art! A chair can be a work of art！” It was a really neat moment because he came to that realization completely on his own. And my son is a good example of why kids should be exposed to art.Many parents think exposing their children to art is a waste of time. But I think this is a wrong idea. Children can learn a lot of things through studying art.Even at a very young age, children can appreciate works of art. They enjoy looking at pictures of fruit, flowers, animals, and other popular artistic subjects. Bright colors and sharp contrasts (对照) are inspiring obviously and aid in brain development.Older kids begin to notice that art has the meaning beyond the images themselves. As they observe the feelings and emotions that works of art cause, they will see how art can be a way of expression for themselves, too. Studies show that exposure to great art increases a child's verbal ability, expressiveness, reasoning and logical thinking as a child seeks understanding.Besides strengthening their verbal and analytical (分析的) skills, studying art can teach children about design, color, shading, shadows, lighting, composition, and various artistic skills. Also, I find that children begin to view the world around them from an artist's perspective (角度)．Luckily, art is all around us. Parents can encourage their kids to appreciate a book of a lovely building, an artfully composed photograph, a hand­painted vase, or even a beautifully designed website. Once they start looking, they will find art everywhere and learn many things from it.8．The author introduces the topic of the text through telling ________．A．a story of her sonB．what she realized one dayC．her son's attitude toward artD．about the Art Institute in Chicago9．Which of the following benefits of looking at art works is NOT mentioned inParagraph 4?A．Leading to a better oral ability.B．Leading to a better reasoning ability.C．Helping them get along well with others.D．Helping them gain better logical thinking.10．According to Paragraph 5, what benefit can children get from studying art?A．Allowing them to look at things from various perspectives.B．Benefiting their study at school later in life.C．Encouraging them to seek understanding.D．Enabling them to look at things like artists.11．What is the text mainly about?A．Why kids love art works.B．Why kids should study art.C．Why art is useful in our life.D．Why art can teach kids things.DTwo volcanic islands recently born in the Red Sea have yielded surprising images, providing scientis ts with new insight about a little­known rift (裂缝) in the Earth's crust.Both islands appeared in the Zubair Archipelago, a small chain of volcanic islands, owned by Yemen, which rise from the Red Sea between Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.The first of the new islands，now called Sholan Island, appeared in December 2011.The second island, called Jadid, appeared in September 2013.The Red Sea is a huge crack in the Earth's crust called a rift, where the African and Arabian tectonic (地壳构造上的) plates are tearing apart at about 0.4 inches (1 centimeter) per year.At a rift, the crust stretches apart slowly over centuries, like a piece of taffy candy, but it also sometimes suddenly splits when the strain (张力) becomes too great.Two volcanic eruptions formed these islands in the Red Sea.The two eruptions were followed by many small earthquakes caused by magma (岩浆) squeezing through long andnarrow cracks in the Earth's crust.The cracks that are filled with magma are called dikes, and are at least 6 miles (10 kilometers) long.The islands both are less than 0.6 miles (1 km) wide.When the molten (熔化的) rock finally broke through to the seafloor, violent steam explosions threw lava into the air.The tiny, sand size lava pieces built up the islands.Over time，the pieces became a hard rock similar to the sandstone.Waves have since eaten away about 30 percent of Sholan Island, the first to erupt.Similar earthquakes have taken place in the region for years.The shaking could mean that magma had been running underground for up to a decade before the volcanic islands emerged．The new islands are far from towns and villages, and are unlikely to disrupt air traffic with large ash explosions.Ships passing over the Gulf of Suez can also easily avoid the islands.12．It's implied that over the years the Red Sea ________．A．experienced no great strainB．experienced no earthquakesC．became larger little by littleD．became the world's largest crack13．Which of the following statements about the first of the new islands is TRUE?A．It was formed about two years ago.B．It is far from the Arabian Peninsula.C．It is 30% smaller than when it was first made.D．It's the first volcanic island in the Zubair Archipelago.14．What does the u nderlined word “emerged” in Paragraph 6 mean?A．Broke. B．Changed.C．Suffered. D．Appeared.15．The last paragraph is meant to show that the new islands ________．A．won't threaten human activitiesB．may experience large ash explosionsC．are of no use to residents nearbyD．may threaten transportation near themⅡ.任务型阅读(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。

外研版精品英语资料（精校版）单元质量检测(三)(时间：100分钟满分：120分)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

AI moved into a new house in July. Since then I have met a few of my neighbors who are very nice people. For Christmas, I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbors I knew. There were nine neighbors whom I knew by name or spoke with often when I was in my yard. I knew which houses they lived in.I decided to add one more to my list. This lady I decided to add lived down the street from me. I met her every morning as I drove down the street. She always smiled at me. But I had no idea who she was and which house she lived in.I planned to make small fruit baskets and leave them on my neighbors' front porches (门廊) on Christmas Eve. I signed the cards: Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road.I saved the last for the friendly lady. I finally decided on a house where I met her each morning and guessed that it was hers.My neighbors really appreciated the baskets and would tell me as they saw me in the yard or they would call, and a couple even came by to thank me.The next morning I found a small note in the mailbox. It was addressed simply：Resident, 5104 Northumberland Road.The thank­you card really caught me by surprise. I opened it and read the message, “Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you left on our porch. It was very thoughtful. Richard Kelly passed away last week. He talked a lot about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of illness. He really appreciated it.”I had no idea who Richard Kelly was and that he had been seriously ill. I had left that nice lady's basket on his porch by mistake. I wanted to say sorry, but that would be wrong. I believe that Mr Kelly was supposed to have that basket because he was dying.I hate that the nice lady did not receive the fruit basket, but I believe if she knew what had happened, she would be happy. I feel pleased to have made Richard Kelly's last days be more cheerful.1．How many Christmas gifts did the author intend to send?A．Nine. B．Eight.C．Ten. D．Eleven.2．Where did the friendly lady live?A．She lived at the end of Northumberland Road.B．Her address was 5104 Northumberland Road.C．She was thought to share a house with Mr Kelly.D．The author was not sure about her address at all.3．What does the author mean in the last paragraph?A．He was regretful that the nice lady didn't receive his gift.B．He was glad to have made Mr Kelly's life more pleasant.C．He thought Richard Kelly deserved to receive that basket.D．The lady was happy to sacrifice to make Kelly happy.BAnne was sitting in the mountain of the village. It was her last spring in the mountain. That very day she would be leaving her aunt's house to rejoin her family in Los Angeles. She had been staying to finish the sixth grade when her parents readied their new home.There was a presence beside her. Anne glanced to her left. There was another girl, who was drawing. It was a long time before the time was right for Anne to speak.“Is this your Thinking Place too？” Anne asked. The other girl nodded and smiled, just a little. There was a piece of sadness，Anne realized, in that girl's blue eyes. There was more silence. Then the girl's question came, almost a whisper.“What are you thinking about？” The eyes drifted t o the tears still clinging to Anne's jaw.“I love this place，” Anne said simply. This was the truth, and it was all that the other needed to hear. A comforting arm reached around Anne's shoulder.“Me, too.”“What are you thinking about？” asked Anne, remembering the sadness in the blue eyes.“My family is moving to somewhere in Los Angeles. But I knew no one there.” Anne became happy. She told the girl she was moving back to Los Angeles. The girl became happy, too. They kept talking and found they had a lot in common.Then it was time for Anne to go back to her aunt's house. She glanced back at her new friend, standing on the rocks in the mountains, and then examined the drawing. It showed the magic of their new friendship and the Thinking Place in swirls (漩涡) of brilliant color. A bright sun dappled the entire page in a hopeful gold. The girl gave it to Anne as a gift.Walking through the forest toward her aunt's house, Anne turned the sheet over. There was a telephone number written on the back.4．Why was Anne staying with her aunt?A．Because she was learning how to draw there.B．Because she couldn't live in her own home then.C．Because she wanted to receive good education there.D．Because she missed her aunt and wanted to live with her.5．We infer that the other girl ________．A．was sure she'd make many new friendsB．looked forward to going to Los AngelesC．felt sad about leaving the villageD．was bad at drawing6．How did Anne react hearing the girl was moving to Los Angeles?A．She considered it great news.B．She thought the girl was lying.C．She wanted to comfort the girl.D．She felt sad that they would be apart.7．We can infer from the end of text that ________．A．the two girls had seen each other beforeB．the two girls wouldn't see each other againC．the girl would call Anne as soon as possibleD．the girl wanted Anne to keep in touch with herCDo you like listening to English songs to learn the language? Some students don't believe doing so can help them learn English. I have to say they think wrongly. Listening to English songs can help you learn the language better. You may ask how. Just read on.Lyrics are not easily forgotten. You listen to them over and over again throughout your life. Once you learn them, they are going to stay with you, and you are going to review them repeatedly because you enjoy them. If you learn just one song per week for a year, those are 52 songs full of new vocabulary and phrases that you will never forget.Songs give you perfect pronunciation models. As you learn to sing them, you are practicing your pronunciation, you are imitating (模仿) native speakers, and you are learning how to speak better. The rhythm naturally leads to better pronunciation, better intonation (声调) , and more fluency.When you start paying attention to the lyrics, your listening skills naturally improve. Once you learn a few songs, you'll start gathering a lot of songs and vocabulary.A larger vocabulary usually means better listening comprehension (理解). Just the fact that you start caring about the lyrics will activate your listening skills and listening to music in English will become an enjoyable learning exercise.Another huge merit is that you get to practise your grammar. Some of the most intelligent grammar questions my students bring to me come from songs. You can probably even map the entire language into pop songs and greatly improve your grammar by learning the lyrics to your favorite songs.Now we can conclude that listening to English songs can really help you learn the language well. So listen to more English songs in your free time. You can put the lyrics on your ipod or iphone and read them as you listen. Believe me, and you'll benefit a lot.8．Paragraph 2 mainly shows that by listening to English songs, you can ________．A．improve your memoryB．have a larger vocabularyC．gather a lot of English songsD．go over words you have learned9．The underlined word “merit” in Paragraph 5 means “________”．A．advantage B．considerationC．cause D．surprise10．What is the text mainly about?A．What people can do to improve their English.B．Why English learners like listening to English songs.C．What songs people can listen to so as to improve English.D．Why listening to English songs helps improve our English.11．Which of the following best describes the relation among the paragraphs?DOne kind of the worst agricultural pests in the United States is about to get a whole lot worse. According to the new research, the effects of climate change have caused harmful insects known as potato leafhoppers (蚕虫微叶蝉)to arrive a full 10 days earlier than they did 60 years ago. Not only that, but also the research shows that bug infestation (侵扰) levels are worse in warmer years, meaning they will cause a much greater threat than they have for decades.In turn, the warmer weather may push the insects to travel farther north than they typically care to, meaning potato leafhoppers could soon move into regions where they now aren't causing much threat.Potato leafhoppers migrate yearly from Southern states all the way into the northernmost US states and Canada. The_bugs_cause_millions_of_dollars'_worth_of_damage_to_agricultural_crops_every_year,_cutting_into_farmers'_potato,_alfalfa,_and_hops_pro fits.They can feed on the sap (树液) of more than 100 plant species, but they don't killplants immediately. Their toxin(毒素) causes plants to dry, lowering crop yields. Because of the bug's size, farmers often don't know when potato leafhoppers have invaded until they see the crop damage.The danger could harm the industry. Farmers have turned to pesticides and leafhopper ­resistant strains of alfalfa to control past infestations, but they may not be prepared if the insects continue to arrive earlier and infestation levels keep increasing.The researchers weren't surprised when they found the insects were now arriving 10 days earlier in warmer years. Early migration trends caused by climate change have been observed in mammals, birds, and other species.12．The new research shows that the pests arrived earlier mainly because ________．A．they couldn't find food where they fedB．the higher temperature allowed them to do soC．larger numbers of them caused more competitionD．they had adapted to poor environmental conditions13．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the pests?A．They now aren't causing much of a threat.B．They have been moving north all these years.C．They can get used to new environment easily.D．They may do harm to wider regions than before.14．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 shows the pests ________．A．mainly feed on potato plantsB．don't cause losses every yearC．are costly for farmers to removeD．are really a big problem for farmers15．Which can be inferred about the pests from Paragraph 4?A．They just feed on several plants.B．They are very hard to be seen by farmers.C．They can cause plants to die immediately.D．They often hide in plants to avoid being noticed.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(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。

AGrandfather and 3­ye ar­old boys are natural buddies. On this particular day in May, the grandfather was pleased to have the company of his best little pal when planting the vegetable garden. For a while, the boy seemed to like it too. His small fingers were just the right siz e to pick up tiny seeds and drop them into Granddad­made holes. They were a great team.But before long the boy became restless and directed his anger at the seeds themselves.“What's this one, Granddad？”“Beets (甜菜)．”“Ugh, I hate beets.”“Well, then, let's do the pumpkin instead.”“Yuck. I really hate pumpkin.”“Okay, buddy. What would you like to plant？”“How about ... doughnuts (油炸圈饼)？”Just in time, the grandfather stopped himself from saying there was no such thing as a doughnut seed. Looking at the unhappy little face, he suddenly got an inspiration.“Wait a second. I have to go inside and get the right seeds.”Granddad returned with a handful of seeds. He and the small boy solemnly planted them in a special corner of the vegetable garden.Weeks later, when the real seeds began to break through the soil, the boy became delighted with the tiny seedlings (秧苗)．He spent many afternoons helping Granddad water and hoe (用锄头锄) and watch them grow.And when the first baby vegetables were harvested,he liked them after all.For weeks, he forgot all about the doughnuts.But then one day at lunch, he said，“Granddad, what happened to our doughnuts？How come they didn't grow？”Granddad paused a moment.“Well, you know, doughnuts are tricky.Some years when you plant them, you get lots of doughnuts.”He sighed sadly.“But other years, all that comes up are the holes.”1．From the first half of the conversation we can learn that the boy________．A．possibly doesn't like vegetablesB．hates planting anythingC．doesn't like playing with his GranddadD．hates planting vegetables because of his small hands2．The boy became interested in the vegetables later because________．A．he liked them from the very beginningB．those vegetables were the kinds he likedC．his Granddad advised him to do soD．they were the fruits of his own labour3．What do Granddad's words imply in the last paragraph?A．Doughnuts sometimes grow into fruits but other times not.B．Doughnuts like to do tricks.C．You can get only holes if you plant doughnuts.D．All jobs do not produce good results.BOn June 2, 2015, President Barack Obama awarded Henry Johnson, a World War Ⅰ soldier, the Medal of Honor. It was the result of a long campaign for a soldier whose heroism had gone unrecognized because of racial discrimination.Johnson was one of the soldiers serving as guards in France in 1918 when they were surrounded by more than a dozen Germans. The Germans opened fire on them, wounding Johnson over 20 times, but he fought on even after his weapon wouldn't fire anymore.Though praised by his fellow soldiers and awarded the French Croix de Guerre (法国英勇十字勋章), he was denied the Medal of Honor in his own country.The_efforts_to_get_the_soldier_recognized_have_been_filled_with_starts_and_stop s. The work was supported by the office of Charles Schumer, who handed in a 1，258­page recommendation for the award in May 2011 after a great many new documents were discovered.“A lot of people advocated for this over a long period of time，” said a member of Schumer's, Caroline Wekselbaum, who had spent thousands of hours on Johnson's case.Their effort to get Johnson the Medal of Honor was blocked in 2003 by Air Force General Richard Myers, who wanted more evidence.But Schumer's office kept looking for more documentation. One of their findings was a telegram during the war, which mentioned the heroism of Johnson.Caroline expressed disappointment at the way Johnson was treated. As a black soldier, he and his colleagues were sent to the short­handed French military, but not allowed to fight in the U．S. force.Johnson's life after World War Ⅰ was filled with highs and lows. His injuries were never properly documented, so he did not receive any medical benefits. He died poor in July 1929, 11 years after his heroism.4．Obama awarded Henry Johnson in order to________．A．show the equality between all racesB．correct a mistake he had madeC．set a good example for soldiersD．approve Henry Johnson's heroism5．What can we know from Paragraphs 2 and 3?A．Johnson fought bravely without weapons.B．Johnson was too seriously wounded to fight on.C．Johnson's fellow soldiers thought highly of him.D．Johnson was awarded the Medal of Honor by France.6．How can we understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?A．People had great difficulty in getting the government to recognize Johnson.B．The work of making the government recognize Johnson went very well.C．A great many people started the case of Johnson and then stopped.D．People made great efforts to get Johnson recognized but failed.7．What on earth resulted in Johnson's being mistreated?A．Lack of evidence of his actions.B．Racial discrimination.C．His fighting for French military.D．No documentation of his injuries.CCities around the world have started to use composting (堆肥) as a way to recycle organic waste and reduce the amount of landfills (填埋) and pollution. Cities spend hundreds of millions of dollars transporting waste to landfills, which also burns fuel and contributes to global warming. Compost is made out of organic waste, such as rotten leaves, leftover fruits, vegetables, egg shells and other foods. It recycles organic materials into fertilizer (肥料) for plants and vegetables.South Korea uses a system for the effective collection of garbage waste and the reuse of natural resources. Garbage must be separated according to “common garbage，”“food waste recyclables” and “large waste objects”， or the resident will be fined. In Canada, millions have access to roadside organic waste collection. Residents are expected to sort their kitchen waste and place it in the appropriate bins for collection. New York City started a composting pilot program in 2013, with workshops for individuals an NYC schools, such as worm composting — using worms to help turn the organic material into compost for fertilizer by eating the waste and passing it through their bodies.Some people are not excited about composting. For example, in June 2013, some New York residents complained about the smell of the composting site in the park. It can also be difficult to remember to separate organic waste from regular waste.But in Portland, Oregon, which has had a composting program for two years now, residents report that they have got used to the downsides. “It's encouraging us to make less waste, and it doesn't smell bad anymore, because our food leftovers are going out more often，” Portland resident Kendra Yao told Oregon Public Radio.8．Which is NOT the advantage of composting according to Paragraph 1?A．Reducing pollution.B．Recycling organic waste.C．Contributing to global warming.D．Saving money used to transport waste to landfills.9．From Paragraph 2 we learn that________．A．a South Korean will be fined if he doesn't sort garbageB．only kitchen waste is expected to be sorted in CanadaC．worm composting is the best way of compost in NYCD．composting systems are operated all over the world10．What does the underlined word “it”refer to in Paragraph 2?A．Compost. B．Fertilizer.C．The waste. D．The pilot program.11．What does Paragraph 3 tell us?A．The future of composting.B．The problems of composting.C．People's opinions about composting.D．The bad effects of composting on people's lives.DA peace treaty is a formal agreement between two or more countries that have formerly been at war. The treaty is a contract designed to cease wars immediately or other requirements to ensure peace. Many of the most famous wars of history ended with a peace treaty. In modern times, complicated conflicts often call for a more detailed resolution than a simple treaty.Wars are conducted by governments or other opposing bodies for a variety of reasons. When one force has superior combat strength, the war often ends with bloody conquest.When forces are evenly matched, or nearly so, fighting can last for months or years, with tremendous losses on both sides.In these cases，diplomacy often triumphs where strong force fails to resolve the conflict.A peace treaty is a common way for opposing forces to end wars and begin the process of rebuilding.In modern history, Paris has long been the site for the signing of peace treaties, as it is often a neutral (中立的) location.The American Revolution ended with the 1783Paris Peace Treaty, while Napoleon acknowledged defeat with the Treaty of Paris in 1815.During the Indian wars of the 18th and 19th centuries，the American government got a bad prestige for disregarding treaties it had previously signed with Native American tribes, and more battles resulted.The Treaty of Versailles，which officially ended World War Ⅰ in 1919, imposed serious punishments on Germany, the defeated party.These punishments damaged the German economy and caused bitter anger among the German people.Many historians believe these conditions led to the rise of the Nazi party and the Second World War.In modern times, war rarely ends with a comprehensive peace treaty.The Vietnam War, the Korean Conflict, and France's Algerian War ended with agreements that slowed combat gradually over a period of years rather than bringing an immediate peace.Modern war is a messy business that is difficult to control through such civilized measures as a signed contract.Nevertheless, diplomats work diligently to ensure that conflicts are resolved, one way or the other by eventual peace.12．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Wars will last for long when the combat strength of both sides is similar.B．World War Ⅰ in 1919 ended up with the sign of the Treaty of Versailles.C．German Nazi party rose because it was defea ted during World War Ⅰ in 1919.D．True peace requires the diplomats' diligent work and people's awareness.13．What does the writer mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A．A peace treaty is often ignored by the defeated side.B．Some countries don't want to sign peace treaties.C．A peace treaty does not always mean the end of wars.D．The defeated side often suffers great from punishments.14．It can be inferred from the passage that________．A．peace treaties are less effective in modern timesB．the stronger side suffers more during a warC．peace treaties are often signed by neutral countriesD．there are more conflicts or wars in modern times15．The underlined word in Paragraph 4 can be r eplaced by “________”．A．power B．experienceC．reputation D．influenceⅡ.任务型阅读(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。
