Unit5Thepowerofnature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）AA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck (海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of s urvival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the sout hernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achievemore than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Capt ain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had di ed with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, complete d as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the worl d’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Sh ackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a conf ident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarc tic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.1. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last weekB. They showed undersea sceneriesC. They were found by a cameramanD. They recorded a disastrous adventure2 Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A. Frank HurleyB. Ernest ShackletonC. Robert Falcon ScottD. Caroline Alexander3 What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 vo yage?A. Artistic creationB. Scientific researchC. Money makingD. Treasure huntingBPassenger pigeons（旅鸽）once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable num bers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries descr ibed flocks（群）so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reach its highest poi nt, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons – a num ber equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant birds in t he world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had alrea dy become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 32 0 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati. Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were abundant, people believ ed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited un til pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over the m, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood fore sts where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by A mericans’ need for wood, which scattered（驱散）the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. S oon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killi ng of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had b een seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pig eon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, O hio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human car e. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden in September 1, 1914.4 In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons __ _____.A．were the biggest bird in the world.B．lived mainly in the south of America.C．did great harm to the natural environment.D．were the largest population in the US.5 The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeo ns’ _______.A．escape B．ruin C．liberation D．evolution6 What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pig eons?A．To seek pleasure. B．To save other birds.C．To make money. D．To protect crops.7 What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan? A．It was ignored by the public. B．It was declared too late. C．It was unfair. D．It was strict.CSurviving Hurricane Sandy(飓风桑迪)Natalie Doan,14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, N ew York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It’s the oc ean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hu rricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hi t especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Bro oklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed.When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found the ir neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost the ir homes and were living far away. All around her, people wer e suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so da maged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn .In the following few days, the men and women helping Rocka way recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare ti me to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of fli ghts of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapp ed in powerless high-rise buildings.“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”Natalie’s choice was to help.She created a website page matching survivors in need with d onors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection whe n his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection wa s replaced.In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: C hristopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous p erson. Last April, she was invited to the White House and hon ored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.Today, the scars(创痕)of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt . “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie decl ares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”8. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane ,she found______.A. some friends had lost their livesB. her neighborhood was destroyedC. her school had moved to BrooklynD. the elderly were free from suffering9. According to paragraph4,who inspired Natalie most?A. The people helping Rockaway rebuild.B. The people trapped in high-rise building.C. The volunteers donating money to survivors.D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people.10. How did Natalie help the survivors?A. She gave her toys to the kids.B. She took care of younger children.C. She called on the White House to help.D. She built an information sharing platform.11.What does the story intend to tell us?A. Little people can make a big difference.B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.C. East or West, home is best.D. Technology is power.DWhat Theresa Loe is doing proves that a large farm isn’t prere quisite for a modern grow-your-own lifestyle. On a mere 1/10 of an acre in Los Angeles, Loe and her family grow, can（装罐）and preserve much of the food they consume.Loe is a master food preserver, gardener and canning expert. She also operates a website, where she shares her tips and r ecipes, with the goal of demonstrating that everyone has the ability to control what’s on their plate.Loe initially went to school to become an engineer, but she quickly learned that her enthusiasm was mainly about growin g and preparing her own food. “I got into cooking my own foodand started growing my own herbs (香草) and foods for that fresh flavor,” she said. Engineer by day, Loe learned cooking at night school. She ultimately purchase d a small piece of land with her husband and began growing t heir own foods.“I teach people how to live farm-fresh without a farm,” Loe said. Through her website Loe emp hasizes that “anybody can do this anywhere.” Got an apartme nt with a balcony （阳台）? Plant some herbs. A window? Perfect spot for growing. Start with herbs, she recommends, because “they’re very forg iving.” Just a little of the herbs “can take your regular cooking to a whole new level,” she added. “I think it’s a great place to start.”“Then? Try growing something from a seed, she said, li ke a tomato or some tea.”Canning is a natural extension of the planting she does. With every planted food, Loe noted, there’s a moment when it’s bur sting with its absolute peak flavor. “I try and keep it in a time c apsule in a canning jar,” Loe said. “Canning for me is about k nowing what’s in your food, knowing where it comes from.”In addition to being more in touch with the food she’s eating, a nother joy comes from passing this knowledge and this desire for good food to her children: “Influencing them and telling them your opinion on not only being careful what we eat but un derstanding the bigger picture,” she said, “that if we don’t take care of the earth, no one will.”12.The underlined word “prerequisite” (Pare. 1) is closest in m eaning to “______”.A. recipeB. substituteC. requirementD. challenge13. Why does Loe suggest starting with herbs?A. They are used daily.B. They are easy to grow.C. They can grow very tall.D. They can be eaten uncooked.14. According to Loe, what is the benefit of canning her planted foods?A. It can preserve their best flavor.B. It can promote her online sales.C. It can better her cooking skills.D. It can improve their nutrition.15. What is the“the bigger picture” (Para. 6) that Loe wishes h er children to understand?A. The knowledge about good food.B. The way to live a grow-our-own life.C. The joy of getting in touch with foods.D. The responsibility to protect our earth.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。

To err is human. Failure is also a part of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life’s challenges. When you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way.Life is like a game and maybe you can award(奖励) points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it. Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have reached 50 points, ju st yell, “ Hey, I’ve won!〞 and give yourself a reward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever reason, tell yourself, “Well, I tried!〞which is better than not trying at all. Don’t let it be said you didn’t try.What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually happiness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new mother happiness would be seeing her baby’s first steps. Happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself.It really doesn’t have to be big. As a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. Make the best out of every given situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don’t get despondent. This just means trying harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Don’t let “ give up 〞 be a part of your vocabulary.47.By saying “To err is human〞, the author means that________.A. human beings should try to avoid(防止) making mistakesB. no one is perfect(完美的) and everyone makes mistakesC. mistakes and failures make up our lifD. human beings make mistakes easily48. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Try to reach 50 points.B. Never stop trying in your life.C. Award yourself for your successD. Don’t be afraid of missing your points.49. The author proves his idea in Paragraph 3 through_________.A. exampesB. numbersC. experimentsD. stories50. The underlined word “ despondent 〞 in the last paragraph means________.A. frightenedB. disappointedC. surprisedD. excitedB篇Weather changes when the temperature and the amount of water in the atmosphere change. We can see and feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. But the water must somehow get back to the atmosphere. Meteorologists call this the water cycle.There are many stages in the water cycle. Rain falls when water vapour in clouds condenses(凝结). Drops of water form and fall to the ground. The water soaks intothe ground and feeds streams and rivers. A lot of rain falls into the sea. The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers, lakes, and the sea. It changes the liquid water into water vapour. The vapour rises onto the air. Water vapour is normally invisible. On a very damp or humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapour rising from a puddle(水坑) or pond in a mist(薄雾) above the water. Water vapour also gets into the air from living things. Trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapour from their leaves. People and land animals drink water and breathe out water vapour. In all these ways the water returns to the air. There it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain. The rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. It continues even if snow or hail(冰雹) fall instead because both eventually melt to form water. The amount of water vapour in the air depends on the temperature. The air is more moist(潮湿) in the tropics(热带) than in the cold polar regions.51. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Water cycle.B. Water vapour.C. How rain forms.D. Water, vapour, rain.52. How many ways of the water returning to the air are discussed in the text?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.53.

In the following account, she recalls the job that challenged her 16 and skill but left her flying high.“When the Atlanta Airport was under 17 in 1979, we were a new company struggling to make it. National Car Rental wanted to have 2,500 square meters of dirt paved 18 the cars could be onsite 19 the airport opened, and the official opening was only ten days away! 20 other local paving company wanted to do the job, 21 it c ouldn’t be done in such a short time.“Because we were new and really needed the work, we were22 to try harder.

Working at night needed lights, so I rented a machine to produce electricity for the site. Our 27 challenge was to keep the rockmixture 28 enough. All the available water wagons (洒水车) were rented out for the airport construction, and we certainly couldn’t afford to buy a new one.29 , I got a special 30 to rent fire engine hoses (消防水龙带) and connect them to nearby hydrants (消防栓); then I 31 held one of those hoses to 32 down the rock.“Those ten days were filled with challenges that33 one creative idea after another. Nine days later, the night before the airport opened, National Car Rental was the 34 company that had cars on the parking lot.“The key to our success was h aving the 35 to take on any job and then being creative in our approach to getting it done.”16.

We should have arrived at Liverpool at 9:19, but due to a typical London fog, the train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got there. In spite of our late arrival, Joan, my wife’s sister, decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping. It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog t hat my wife realized that we hadn’t decided where we should meet for lunch. Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket, this was indeed a problem. There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London, and try to find her there. Needless to say, we didn’t find her.It was now one o’clock, and the concert began at 2:30. “Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall,” suggested my wife hopefully. By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop, and the only way to get there was by underground railway. Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be. An hour later we were still trying to find it. Just as I was about to lose my temper completely when we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog. With his help we found Tower Hill tube station just fifty yards down the road.By now it was far too late even to try to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2:30, so we decided to return to Cambridge. It took seven long hours instead of the usual two to make that journey. Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train. Tired and hungry we finally reached home at ten, opening the door to the sound of the telephone bell. It was Joan; she had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for concert, and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant near the hotel where she decided to stay for the night. Now she was ringing to discover whether we had had an equally successful day.1. Why was Joan separated from her sister and her brother-in-law?A. they could not see each other because of the fog.B. Joan had not seen Crown Jewels.C. They planned to do different things until lunch time.D. The wr iter didn’t want to go to the concert.2. What did the writer plan to do in the afternoon?A. Go to the concert.B. See the Crown Jewels.C. Return to Cambridge.D. Go shopping.3. The reason why they didn’t all meet for lunch was that _______.A. They lost their way in the fogB. they forgot to make necessary arrangementC. they waited at different places and didn’t meet each otherD. the couple couldn’t find the underground station4. It’s quite clear that for Joan the trip to London had been ________.A. spilt by the fogB. quite tiringC. rather disappointingD. very enjoyableI．单词拼写：1.alongside2.appointed3.absolute4.boots5.actual6.candidate7.precious8.unconscious9.shoot10.tremble11.diverse12.bathe13.appreciation14.guarantee15.suitII．单项填空1-5 ADADB 6-10 CBABC 11-15 BBDBBIII．短文改错6.The young woman was so unfortunately that she married such a bad-tempered man.Unfortunately - unfortunate7.My neighbor was erupted in anger at the news. 去掉was8.It’s hard to evaluation him as a good actor.

At this moment, red hot l avais pouring out of Kilauea. It has been doing this since 1983. Sometimes the lava moves slowly. At other times it pours out very fast asa huge amount of pressure (压力) forces itfrom the volcano. During these times, it moves almost as quickly as water moving down the side of a mountain. Sometimes Kilauea produces a large amount of lava that seems like rivers of fire. When the lava from Kilauea reachesthe ocean, its fierce (凶猛的) heat produces a great amount of steam that rises into the air. The lava is so hot it continues to burn underwater for some time. The lava from Kilaueacontinues to addland to the island as the volcanoes of Hawaii have always done.It was these volcanoesthatformed theislands of Hawaii. Most of the time the lava of Kilauea seems to move peacefully toward the ocean. Yet it is not as peaceful as it seems from a distance.In recent years the lava destroyed one small town on the island.

He thought although relative needs may indeed be insatiable (无止境的) this is not true of absoluteKeynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending id decided by the super- iority He was greatly mistaken, however, in seeing this derive as the only source of demandsDecisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the den almost all goods, including even basic goods like food. When a couple goes out for an dinner, for example, the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them. The goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demand for quality. For example, Porsche famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the mark Priced at over $120,000,it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration. But in 200 the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling acceleration. People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting. To them, however, they must pay almost four times the price.By placing the desire to be superior to other at the heart of his description of negation demands, Keynes actually reduced such demands. However, the desire for higher quality has natural limits.72. According to the passage, John Keynes Believed that_______.A. desire is the root of both absolute and relative needsB. absolute needs come from our sense of superiorityC. relative needs alone lead to insatiable demandsD. absolute needs are stronger than relative needs73. What do we know about the couple in Paragraph 3?A. They want to show their superiorityB. They find specialty important to mealsC. Their demands for food are not easily satisfied.D. Their choice of dinner is related to ideas of quality.74.What does the underlined word “escalation〞 in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Understanding.B. IncreaseC. DifferenceD. Study75. The author of the passage that ______.A. absolute needs have no limitsB. demands for quality are not insatiableC. human desires influence ideas of qualityD. relative needs decide most of our spending励志赠言经典语录精选句；挥动**，放飞梦想。
