Unit 2 单元测试题1第二部分: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)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。
ACompetition in the Olympics should be between athletes who use their own strength (力量) or speed. If some athletes don't follow the rules, it ruins the fun for everyone connected with the game. It also gives an extremely unfair advantage to the athlete using the drug.— Jim from Atlanta Drug use among top athletes has long been a problem. Without drug testing, the Olympics would be about who uses the most drugs, not who trains the hardest and has the most athletic skills. Also drugs hurt people and they could even kill people.— David from Houston Why should athletes be allowed to compete when it's not really them who are actually competing? It's the drugs that do all the work. Athletes who use drugs are like runners with skates. It's cheating and should not be allowed. It's unfair to other competitors who don't use drugs.—Bruce from Chicago Most sports athletes are held to a standard of being drug free. Olympians should not be held any differently. They take part in highly competitive sports for their country and win medals for it. Testing the athletes for drugs must be done in every country and every sport. No drug testing would be unfair to people who don't use drugs.— Sam from Los Angeles Although popular opinion is against athletes' using drugs, I believe they do help make the Olympic sports more wonderful. I enjoy seeing human beings achieving things that couldn't be done with normal conditioning. I enjoy seeing stronger, faster and longer performances with the help of drugs.— Jack from New York21. What does David think of drug use in the Olympics?A. It's more common in top athletes than others.B. It's a difficult problem to deal with.C. It helps improve athletes' skills.D. It's bad for athletes' health.22. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggests that _____.A. using drugs is the same as cheatingB. drugs help athletes reach greater speedsC. runners should not be allowed to use drugsD. using drugs can not test athletes' real ability23. Both Jim and Sam mentioned _____.A. the popularity of the OlympicsB. the fairness of the OlympicsC. the rules of the OlympicsD. the fun of the Olympics24. The text is mainly written to _____.A. discuss whether Olympic athletes should be tested for drugsB. explain why drugs should be avoided in the OlympicsC. warn people of the bad influences of drug useD. call people's attention to sports and drugsBIn 1996, John Jones made an unusual discovery. He had just enlarged a piece of paper money for a friend — a Confederate bank note, money issued (发行) by banks in Southern States of America during the Civil War. When he was face to face with the picture, he couldn't believe his eyes: slaves happily picking cotton in their master's fields.Jones grew up in South Carolina. He had heard painful stories of slavery from his great-grandmother. The picture on the money did not match the history of AfricanAmerican slaves that he'd heard all his life. “I had never seen that type of picture on money before,” he said.Jones wondered why slaves looked so happy. He started doing research.Searching for and finding the answers to his questions changed his life. During two years' search, Jones found more than 120 different bills. He discovered that the bills had several things in common. They showed slaves working in jobs related to farming. Many of them showed healthy and smiling slaves at work. None of the bills showed the hardships of slavery.Jones wanted to share what he had learned. “I wanted other people to see what I had seen,” he said. He decided to make lar ge paintings of the pictures on the money. After three years of work, Jones had painted more than 80 slavery scenes (场景). He paired each painting with the money on which the picture appeared. “The Color of Money” — an exhibit (展览) of his work — has toured the country.Jones' paintings tell an important story about the South 150 years ago. He likes to repeat the saying “The story is on the money.” In this case, the saying happens to be true.25. How did Jones feel when he saw the picture on the money?A. Angry.B. Painful.C. Excited.D. Surprised.26. Why did Jones do research on the money?A. He had never heard of Confederate money.B. He wanted to learn about American history through it.C. It showed slaves quite different from those in his mind.D. His great-grandmother told him some unusual stories about it.27. What did Jones find?A. About 120 different bills were issued during the Civil War.B. The difficulty of slaves was never shown on the bills.C. Slaves lived a harder life than he thought.D. Slaves worked long hours on farms.28. What's the best title for the text?A. Confederate MoneyB. Money Tells a StoryC. African American SlavesD. John Jones Changes AmericaCA team of middle schoolers from North Dakota has turned a prize-winning idea into reality with their Recycling Bin app (废物回收箱应用软件). The app encourages recycling by providing users with a searchable map of nearby recycling centers.The group of nine sixth graders from STEM Center Middle School, in West Fargo, North Dakota, came up with the idea as part of a school program for the Verizon Innovative App Challenge. The competition was designed by the Verizon Foundation to increase students' interest in science, technology, engineering, and math, or STEM. It asks students to think of an app that could solve (解决) a problem in their school. The students came up with the Recycling Bin when they saw a need for more recycling in their school for a long time. “We thought that this would really help a lot of people,” Jaden Hilkemann, 12, said.They kept their idea simple so that anyone could use it.
