In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or bar（酒吧）, you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal（正常的）coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip（小口）of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. It is espresso with a little more water added, but still served in a small cup. In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy, especially in non­touristy areas. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry（酥皮糕点）. I have been spoiled for choice with lovely cafés in the Italian town I’m living in. These cafés sell different kinds of mouth­watering pastries — either plain（无馅料的）or filled with cream, chocolate, etc. —as well as delicious coffee. Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. Normally, an espresso or a macchiato（an espresso with a drop of milk）costs around one euro and a cappuccino about 1.50! They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank.4. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A. By time.B. By space.C. By example.D. By comparison.5. Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions?A. Espresso.B. Lungo.C. Cappuccino.D. Macchiato.6. What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy?A. Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians.B. Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees.C. Italians like to take short breaks from work for coffee.D. Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts.7. What does the author think of Italian coffee?A. She loves its bitter taste.B. It is too expensive for her.C. It is a good choice for breakfast.D. The cup it is served in is too small.CWhat makes you happy? Music? Money? Spending time with friends?For American young people, family time is the main source（来源）of happiness, according to a recent survey （调查）of 1,280 American young people. Most of them say it is a good relationship with their parents that makes them happy.“My mum tells me that, even if I do something silly, she’s still going to love me no matter what happens. Just knowing that makes me feel very happy.” says Kristiana St.John, 17, a high school student in New York.After family, it is relationships with friends that seem to matter most.There were also many other kinds of answers given to the “What makes you happy?” question. For Chad Fiedler, 17, happiness is “just waking up in the morning and looking forward to what he’s going to do that day”.And for Esohe Roland, 14, it’s “playing the trumpet（小号）in his school band”. So, what is happiness? Let’s hear what Chinese teenagers want to say.For Bao Yiqiao, 15, Beijing, happiness comes from success brought by hard work. She felt happy when she was admitted to a top high school. She was happy when she came fifth in a recent swimming competition.For Jiang Wenyu, 17, Dalian, spending time with his family makes him happy. Whenever he feels down at school,his parents encourage him to go on. They always help him to find a way out.8. ________ matters most for American young people.A. Having a lot of moneyB. Enjoying musicC. Good relationships with their friendsD. A good relationship with their parents9. Which of the following might make Bao Yiqiao happy?A. Getting on well with her parents.B. Playing computer games all day.C. Taking the 2nd place in the table tennis competition.D. Offering others timely help.10. We can learn from the passage that _________.A. Kristiana St. John often does silly thingsB. Esohe Roland is fond of playing the guitarC. Chad Fiedler feels happy when looking forward to the futureD. Jiang Wenyu’s parents never help him with his lessons11. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. the Americans don’t believe hard work can lead to successB. the Chinese children don’t have a good relationship with their parentsC. the Chinese and the Americans share the same ideas of happinessD. different people have different ideas of happinessDFrom high definition（HD）TV to 3D TV, if we asked our screens to produce life­like and realistic pictures, that is certainly what we got. As the 3D TV revolution picks up pace, it’s time to stop studying the technology itself and to start seeing exactly how we, as television fans, can benefit from it, and how it will change our viewing experience.It is true that what you’ve got is good if you don’t know what you’re missing out on; in other words, if you’re living with a perfectly common television, which has on HD capabilities, the chances are that you’re not hoping for HD TV and that your picture looks as clear as you need it to be. But as soon as you try HD TV, you’ll be amazed at the difference it makes to your viewing pleasure and the same is true of 3D TV.3D TVs are rapidly becoming as common as other TVs on goods shelves（货架）of retailers and in the homes of people across the UK. And as the technology develops, the picture becomes clearer, sharper and more real. Television shows that look particularly good in 3D are sports, nature programs and those that are exciting and full of special effects, and lovers of these are in for a real treat when they buy a 3D TV.More and more football matches are shown on 3D TV, and those fans who have experienced a 3D football match compare it to being there in person. The same is true of nature programs, particularly those that feature brightly colored animals and plants, the details of which are quite realistic when viewed on 3D TV.Exciting films have always lent themselves to 3D technology, with dinosaurs surrounding you in your own living room and so on—it can be a frighteningly realistic experience for viewers!12. Some people are happy with perfectly common televisions because _________.A. they don’t know the benefits of HD TV and 3D TVB. their common televisions are very expensiveC. they don’t have enough money to buy HD TV or 3D TVD. their televisions must have some HD capabilities13. What does the underlined word “retailers” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. People who study HD television.B. Businessmen who sell goods to consumers.C. People who are ready to buy something.D. Places where a lot of goods are stored.14. What television programs look particularly good on 3D TV?A. Sports programs and nature programs.B. Music programs and education programs.C. Education programs and nature programs.D. Art programs and writing programs.15. This text is written mainly to tell readers _________.A. the difference between HD TV and 3D TVB. there is a need to buy HD TV or 3D TVC. the rapid development of technologyD. 3D TV gives viewers a realistic experienceⅡ. 阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）Movies have documented America for more than one hundred years. Since Thomas Edison introduced the movie camera in 1893, amateur and professional movie­makers have used moving pictures to tell stories and explain the work of business and government. 16 By preserving these movies, we will save a century of history.Unfortunately, movies are not made to last. 17 Already the losses are high. Only 20% of US feature films from the 1910s to 1920s survive. Of the American features produced before 1950, about half exist. For independently produced works, we have no way of knowing how much has been lost.For many libraries and museums, the hardest step in preserving movie collections is getting started. The Movie Preservation Guide is designed for these organizations. 18 These institutions have collections of moving pictures but lack information about how to take care of them. The Guide contains basic facts for “beginners” —professionals trained in history but unschooled in this technical area.The Guide grew from user workshops at Duke University. At the sessions, beginners talked with technical experts about what they needed to know to preserve and make available their movie collections. 19 Following the advice, the Guide describes methods for handling and storing moving pictures that are practical for research institutions with limited resources. 20 The Guide has been translated into Chinese, Japanese and Korean.A. “Keep it simple!” was the advice of the discussions.B. They’ll be damaged within years if not properly stored.C. These organizations are the first to save American movies.D. It is organized in chapters and includes case studies and charts.E. It introduces movie preservation to non­profit and public institutions.F. They show how generations of Americans have lived, worked and dreamed.G. They store the original movies and new ones under cool­and­dry conditions.Ⅲ. 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）Have you ever been caught in difficulties? Remember that self­confidence is 21 than a knife. You can use it to fight a challenge. Read the short story below to 22 the power of self­confidence.A man was trying to find his way 23 a dark cave with a light of hope from a lantern（灯笼）.Finally, he could see some sunlight in the cave, which made him 24 .But as he drew closer, he was 25 to see a big rock standing before him.He pushed the rock, but it stood there firmly without 26 even a little. He tried again, but it prevented him from 27 the place. The man felt as if being swallowed by a whale that was waiting to enjoy his supper. He sat 28 the big rock in the mouth of the dark cave looking back on his adventure. He had overcome many difficulties and 29 he would overcome this one, too.So he said to himself with confidence, “I will 30 here.” He encouraged himself and it added to his power and gave him more 31 in pushing the huge rock.The rock moved a little, which encouraged him to work 32 . Thanks to all his efforts, slowly the rock made way for him. He walked along the bright and evergreen path before him — with 33 .We all may meet difficulties in our life. Some people don’t believe they can overcome them and choose to 34 , but some choose to face them with confidence. Those who give up will 35 succeed.

Unit 4 Stage and screen Review单元测试第一部分阅读理解（共两题，满分35分）一、（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

ATrue friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost. —Charles Caleb Colton.Just like in any other relationship, arguments and fights are also a part of friendship. You will hardly find friends who have never fought with one another. Whatever the reason is, if a person feels that he is responsible for creating the differences, it is important that he apologizes to his friend.Though you can use the email, text messages or chat for expressing your apology, the good old way of saying sorry to your friend through a letter will surely have a great effect on him. This will make your friend realize that your efforts of saying sorry are genuine and you really care for him.Points to Remember:Timing: Write the letter at the proper time. It is not advisable to put off it for too long.Words: While writing the letter, what matters the most is that you truly feel sorry.Sequence: Always begin by apologizing and saying sorry for your mistake. Then explain to him your side of the story. In the third and last paragraph, talk about what his friendship means to you and make a promise of not repeating the mistake.Delivery: You can either post it or deliver the letter personally or through someone else. You can also keep it at a location where your friend will be able to find it easily.Some people may try to point out the friend’s mistake while writing the letter. Avoid this completely, as it can make matters worse. The letter has to be brief and should only talk about the subject that has led to your apology. Keep patient and do not expect immediate results. In some cases, it may take time for the person to forgive and forget.1. The saying in the first paragraph is used to ________.A. let readers study a famous sayingB. introduce the topic of the passageC. show who is Charles Caleb ColtonD. tell readers the importance of friends2. From the passage, we can know that the writer advises using ________ to apologize.A. the emailB. text messagesC. chat onlineD. letters3. When writing a letter of apology, you should ________.A. try to point out the friend’s mistakeB. make the letter long and interestingC. begin by apologizing and saying sorry for your mistakeD. write the importance of your friendship in the first paragraphBI work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl（猫头鹰）on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2­ to­3­week­old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick（雏鸟）and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.4. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to Paragraph 1?A. Efforts made in vain.B. Getting injured in his work.C. Feeling uncertain about his future.D. Creatures forced out of their homes.5. Why was the author called to Muttontown?A. To rescue a woman.B. To take care of a woman.C. To look at a baby owl.D. To cure a young owl.6. What made the chick calm down?A. A new nest.B. Some food.C. A recording.D. Its parents.7. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A. It’s unexpected.B. It’s beautiful.C. It’s humorous.D. It’s discouraging.CYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self­conscious（难为情）when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12­inch plate instead of a 10­inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake（摄入）jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.8. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ________.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets9. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast music.C. Use smaller spoons.D. Turn down the lights.10. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self­consciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?二、（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。

A4 Popular Places to Go This WinterHarbin, ChinaChina Harbin's winter is for the brave ones—the average temperature is 1.8 —but those who brave the cold will be rewarded by experiencing one of the world's largest winter festivals. This year marked the 33rd Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival (January－March), when massive frozen structures rose and were lit up, transforming the city into a winter wonderland.Lyon, FranceParis may be called the City of Light, but every December, light takes center stage in Lyon, France's third－largest city. That's when the annual Festival of Lights (December 5－8) takes over, with more than 70 light installations that transform the city's streetscapes into modern works of art. The city is also home to two Christmas markets (one in La Croix－Rousse; the other at Place Carton; through December 25).Lima, PeruPeru's capital Lima is home to the world's highest number of cooking schools per person. Aside from its delicate dining, the city also has great cocktail bars where you can taste classic or contemporary takes on the Pisco Sour. Combine that with the oceanfront setting and temperatures in the 80s, and you'll understand why Lima should no longer be ignored this winter.Vermont, USWinter in Vermont means skiing and snowboarding. This year, many resorts (度假村) have greatly upgraded their snowmaking abilities as part of a $15 million statewide program that replaced many outdated snow guns with new, low－energy models. These new machines will also improve the quality of snow surfaces and lengthen the season, meaning this will be one of the best winters for skiing and ridingin Vermont in recent memory.1．What similarities do the first two places have?A．They are decorated with lights.B．They offer snow sculptures.C．They have three－day festivals.D．They are extremely cold.2．Which provides a good chance to buy a Christmas gift?A．Harbin. B．Lyon.C．Lima. D．Vermont.3．What's new to the resorts in Vermont?A．Skiing and snowboarding. B．Updated equipment.C．Cooking schools. D．A longer winter.BHilversum is a medium－sized city between the major cities of Amsterdam and Utrecht in the Gooi area of North Holland, the Netherlands. Unlike most of the Netherlands, Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly made up of sand. Once called the Garden of Amsterdam, it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests. They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness. For Dutch people, Hilversum is all about textile (纺织) and media industries, and modern architecture.In history, Hilversum was largely an agricultural area. Daily life was marked by farming, sheep raising and wool production. A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum. They built themselves large villas in the wooded surroundings of the town. One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers, currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands. They moved in after big success in the textile industry and meant to build a large and important textile industry in Hilversum. But the textile boom lasted only several decades. The last factory closed in the 1960s.The change to a media economy started in 1920, when the Nederlandse Seintoestellen Fabriek (NSF) established a radio factory in Hilversum. Most radio stations moved over in the large villas in the leafy areas of the town. Television gave another push to the local economy. Hilversum became the media capital of theNetherlands, and Dutch television stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town.In the early 1900s, modern architects W．M. Dudok and J. Duiker placed hundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum. These modern architectural masterpieces are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum. Dudok alone shaped most of 20th century Hilversum and about 75 buildings still bear his unique characteristies. His masterpiece, Hilversum Town Hall, was built in 1928－1931. It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks. The building has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination of “blocks”. Actually, one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the W. M. Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum.4．Hilversurn is different from most of the Netherlands in that ________.A．it has a large populationB．it is cut off from big citiesC．it has many beautiful gardensD．it is in a hilly area with sandy soil5．What was the greatest contribution of the Brenninkmeijers to Hilversum?A．Building a railway link to Amsterdam.B．Helping its textile industry to develop.C．Constructing large villas for the poor.D．Assisting its agricultural industry.6．The beginning of the media industry in Hilversum was marked by the establishment of ________.A．a radio factory B．the media capitalC．a radio station D．a TV station7．What is known about W．M.Dudok's Hilversum Town Hall?A．It consists of approximately 75 buildings.B．It looks like an open air museum in the city.C．It is a classic example in architecture textbooks.D．It has shaped most of 20th century Hilversum.CIreland's Achill Island has always been a popular European tourist destination.However, since April, the small island of just 2,600 residents has gained worldwide fame thanks to the magical return of a beach that was washed away over three decades ago.The chain of events began in 1984 when residents of Dooagh, one of the five settlements (定居点) on the island, awoke to a surprising sight: their beautiful sandy beach had been washed away by strong Atlantic storms.There were only rocks and rock pools left.For about 34 years, only small amounts of sand returned to the once natural shores.The area's tourism industry slowly decreased, and the scores of beachside hotels, pubs, and restaurants gradually closed as well.Then, around Easter last year, something magical happened—an unusual ten－day tide blanketed the barren 300－meter long rock beach with hundreds of tons of soft golden sand.Scientists suspect that the sand had been gathering offshore for months and was transported to the beach by the high winds and powerful waves.The locals are delighted to have their beach back, especially as it is attracting thousands of visitors wishing to witness the power of nature, with their own eyes.However, Sean Molloy, manager of Achill Tourism, cautions against going into the cold waters just yet, saying, “Because of the sand comin g in, we don't know how safe the beach is now because currents could be changed and it'll take a little bit of time.” He instead recommends visitors enjoy the soft sand and leave the swimming to the dolphins that frequent the area.Interestingly, this is not the first time Dooagh Beach has pulled a disappearing and reappearing act.It disappeared in the 1890s, for over 30 years, before returning in 1927.However, the locals are optimistic that this time around, the beautiful sand is here to stay.8．What has brought Achill Island worldwide attention recently?A．An unusual storm.B．The decrease in the number of residents.C．The return of its beach.D．The building of a new tourist destination.9．What happened to Dooagh in the past three decades?A．Tourism went down gradually.B．Restaurants developed slowly.C．Storms attacked frequently.D．Rock pools disappeared completely.10．What does the underlined word “barren” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Noisy. B．Soft.C．Bare. D．Golden.11．What should tourists avoid according to Sean Molloy?A．Spoiling the shores.B．Getting into the rock pools.C．Playing with dolphins.D．Swimming near the beaches.DImagine looking for your lost dog. You step into a cave. But instead of the dog, you find beautiful cave paintings. You see paintings of horses, deer, and bison that were drawn in black, brown, red and yellow. Your first question would probably be “Who did this？”This is what happened to four French boys in 1940.They found the Lascaux caves. The paintings the boys discovered in those caves are about 17,000 years old. They were drawn by the ancient people called Cro－Magnons.Cro－Magnons looked much like people of today. They used tools, such as fishing nets. But their art was extremely good. The main cave at Lascaux is called Great Hall of Bulls, which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colours. The largest animal is 18 feet long. There are smaller animals, such as bison, stags and a bear. There is also a strange spotted two－horned (两只角的) animal.To the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawingsof animals in many different colours. One painting is called Little Horses. On the ceiling are horses and cows. The most unusual sight may be in the Shaft of the Dead Man where there is a rhinoceros, a carefully drawn dead man, an injured bison and a bird.Why did Cro－Magnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls?

Unit 4 单元测试一、阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AI picked up my two best friends and we were off on a road trip. I had just returned to America from a year abroad in China. So, naturally I wanted to take a trip to Canada.Montreal, the second largest city in Canada, is a four-hour drive from my home in New Hampshire. We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada. It was the first time that I had ever driven across an international border. We turned on the radio to try and find some Canadian stations.After dropping off our bags at our hotel, we were immediately walking down the famous Saint Catherine Street. While we walked, two things surprised us: how cold it was and how well everyone dressed. The streets of Montreal are like a fashion show. Both men and women look like they stepped out of the pages of a magazine.All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montreal is so cold. Last year it broke the record for the most snowfall in North America. To hide from the cold we went into a diner because we wanted to order poutine, a very popular snack in Montreal. It is French fries covered in cheese and brown gravy（肉汁）. It is delicious.However, we had a hard time ordering the dish since the official language of Montreal is French. It is actually the fifth largest French-speaking city in the world. But since almost the rest of Canadians speak English, plenty of people were there to help.We spent the rest of the weekend going to many historical churches and monuments in Montreal. But at night we’d head to the very modern dance clubs and bars. Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future and the traveller can choose whichever direction he wants to go.1. Which of the following can NOT be concluded from Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4?A. The author and his friends couldn't wait to explore the city.B. The author wasn’t used to the weather of Montreal.C. The citizens from Montreal care much about what they wear.D. Montreal often holds fashion shows.2. What can we infer from the passage?A. The author often went to China for a visit.B. The people they met in the diner were kind and helpful.C. All the people in the diner were locals.D. The author went to Montreal on business.3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The author listened to Canadian radio programmes and chose their first stop as advised.B. The author took a trip to Montreal—the third largest city in Canada.C. Montreal broke the record for the most snowfall in the world last year.D. Montreal is a city which is both traditional and modern.BCities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness（荒野）. But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche（雪崩）once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go—to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City—its present population is 762.4. What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favourable climate.5. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Half of them died.6. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winter.D. They were short of food.7. What is the text mainly about?A. The rise and fall of a city.B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.CDon’t go to Kauai. Go to any of the other Hawaiian Islands —Maui, Lanai, the Big Island —but leave Kauai for us. The weather in Kauai is so unpredictable that sometimes it rains all day —in fact, it’s the second-wettest spot on the earth. Yes, there are giant double rainbows all the time, and the sunlight through the clouds is magical. But if you are not interested in these, go somewhere else. You just can’t control nature on Kauai, and who wants to surrender to nature when you could be at a fine hotel, lying in a comfortable chair next to a swimming pool, withfood served upon request?So what if Kauai produces surf champions the way Texas produces cowboys? Most of is 300 white-sand beaches are unmarked. Unless you connect with the local people, the hidden spots are hard to find. While Hanalei is the most beautiful town you’ve ever dreamed of, you can forget about discos and clubs. Worse, it doesn’t have one single four-star restaurant. What it does have is the original drive-through places where you pass by a rambutan tree（红毛丹树）, and pick a piece of fruit.Shopping in Kauai? Forget it —unless you are interested in shell necklaces and beautifully carved wood bowls. Kauai is not about pampering. It’s about going natural and finding the nature within you. It’s a do-it-yourself place that offers walking along the coast, driving and swimming in the Pacific Ocean, and lying on the beach.Don’t go to Kauai unless you have a lot of time, because there’s only one road, which can be slightly dull. It winds through the beautiful scenery of waterfalls, rivers flowing into the ocean, and taro（芋头）fields. You have no choice but to look at everything, because the speed limit is 35 m. p. h.If you’re not interested in color, don’t bother with Kauai, because that’s what you get —red roads, blue oceans, and a hundred different shades of green. It’s like diving on land. Many people in Kauai believe that this is Lemuria —a lost island in the Atlantic. Can you imagine? Those Hawaiians, surfers, New Agers, and people who love nature and beauty and want a different quality of life —what do they know, anyway? Forget about it —you’re not going to like it. Go somewhere else. Leave Kauai for us.8. After reading the text, we come to know that it is ________.A. a piece of shocking newsB. an exciting storyC. an angry complaint about a tourist attractionD. a moving advertisement9. It can be learned from the text that ________.A. Kauai is an island near the Hawaiian IslandsB. Kauai is another name of the Hawaiian IslandsC. Kauai is one of the Hawaiian IslandsD. Kauai doesn’t belong to the Hawaiian Islands10. Which of the following statements is false?A. Many more people will probably come to Kauai after reading the passage.B. You can practise in Kauai if you want to win a championship in surfing.C. The weather in Kauai is changeable.D. In Kauai there are top-class hotels where food is served upon request.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。

If youare sitting at a table with people you don't know, it is impolite to light up acigarette without asking if it will disturb them.At American restaurants and coffeeshops you are usually served tap water before you order.

However, that is not a reason to put off learning a language later inlife, because there are still many advantages to it.As you get older, it can become moreand more tempting to stick to things you are most familiar with. However, givingyourself something new to do can help to keep your brain active, and the moreactive your brain is, the younger you will feel.We all need new challenges every nowand again. It makes life interesting. Don't set your expectations too high—youaren't going to become fluent in a couple of months, for example.Instead, setyourself short-term goals—to finish a text-book or to practice your skills on alanguage speaker. The challenge will provide you with a renewed energy forlife.Many people, especially when they areolder, put off going overseas because they are worried about communicating withthe local people. However, once you start to learn a language, you will havemuch more confidence to travel in countries where the language is spoken. Onceyou are able to buy things, ask directions and have free conversations, youwill find traveling much more enjoyable.One of the best reasons for learning alanguage later in life is simply because you can. When younger, you probablyhad little spare time. Now, you probably have more time in hand because yourfamily has grown up and you may even have retired. There are somany tools youcan use to learn languages these days (the television and Internet are twoobvious ones), so you may not even have to pay.（1）It is commonly believed that when a person is old, ________.

That's what most people in China felt like this summer. Infact, the entire northern hemisphere (半球) saw high temperatures in July. The Arctic Circle (北极圈) wasno exception (例外). Temperatures in the city of Norilsk,which is in the Arctic Circle, reached a record high of 32℃, The Atlanticreported. Temperatures there are usually just 10℃at this time of the year.The heat wave in the Arctic is mainly along-term result of global warming, according to the Chinese Academy ofMeteorological Sciences. In fact, while the whole world is getting warmer, theArctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. This is called thepolar amplification effect (极地放大效应).The most direct impact (影响) of Arctic warming is the melting of Arctic ice. According to NASA,Arctic sea ice is now disappearing at a rate of 13.2 percent every 10 years. NASAsaid that if this continues, the Arctic will have no ice by the year 2040. Thishas put some Arctic animals, like polar bears, in danger. The ice that thebears live on has shrunk (缩小), the Toronto Starreported.Melting ice can also cause sea levelsto rise in the long term. Since 1993, sea levels have risen at a rate of 3.2 cmevery 10 years, the Guardian reported.

人教版（2019）高中英语必修第二册Unit 4 单元测试题一、阅读理解1.阅读理解John George, 60, remembers that he lived a wonderful life in the Detroit neighborhood where he grew up. "We knew all our neighbors." George told Detroit's Metro Times. "On Christmas Eve, we'd all go to midnight Mass, and there'd be 300 people in our house at one o'clock to about five in the morning. The folks were just really good, hardworking people."By the'80s, however, the old neighborhood changed. Due in part to economic downturns and drug abuse, well -kept homes had been abandoned and kindly neighbors had fled to the suburbs(郊区). But not George. "Living in any city, it's like being in a relationship," he told Reader's Digest. "Some days are better than others. But it was my home. And when I saw it becoming worse, I had two choices: I could leave, or I could stay and fight.I chose the latter."When the abandoned home behind his turned into a worn-out place, the father of two grabbed some boards and nails and began boarding up the house. After two neighbors stopped to ask what he was doing, they decided to help, with great results.That's how it all got started. In the 30 years since that first home rescue, an army of approximately 182,000 volunteers, along with private donors, has helped George pull down around 300 abandoned homes, mainly in die poorer Northwest area of Detroit. They've also secured 400 - some homes by boarding them up. They've painted and repaired nearly 900 homes and built over 100 from scratch. According to Forbes, more than 1,000 Detroiters have been housed as a result of their work.And there's Halloween. In Detroit, October 30 was known as Devil's Night, a period when all hell break loose in the form of crime and vandalism (破坏公物). In response, George created a citizens' patrol(巡逻)that would take to the streets, keeping an eye on illegal behavior. He named it Angels' Night What began with 12 neighbors on patrol in 1990 has grown to more than 60,000 citywide.George's inspired ideas have not gone unnoticed by the city he loves. Others are buying into it. There's a trend of younger homeowners coming in.（1）What was George's home city Detroit like before the '80s?A.Neighbors were nice and got along very well.B.People in the suburbs led a wonderful life.C.Economy declined because of drug abuse.D.Many homes were abandoned and people lied.（2）What did George decide to do after his neighborhood changed?A.Move to the suburbs.B.Leave his hometown.C.Join his neighbors to help.D.Stay and fight to save his city.（3）What happened as a result of George and other volunteers' hard work?A.More people moved into Detroit.B.Almost all Detroiters were housed.C.Over 100 homes were newly built.D.There was no illegal behavior any more.（4）What does the story mainly intend to toll us?A.Great minds think alike.B.Two heads are better than one.C.A friend in need is a friend indeed.D.Little people can make a big difference.2.阅读理解“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor' than ever before, ” says Patsy Rowe, “ Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达). ” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don't wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint（抱怨）about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don, t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的）rude messages by email.However, rudeness is never acceptable, Don, t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you, re in touch with won, t recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.We shouldn′t blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more help if we′d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.（1）What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph I?A.People can tell good from bad behavior.B.Radar is able to observe human behavior.C.People care little about their behavior.D.Radar can be used to predict human behavior.（2）Some people are less willing to deal with humans because .A.they are becoming less patientB.they are growing too independentC.they have to handle many important messagesD.they have to follow an evolutionary step backward.（3）The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is .A.RidiculousB.disgustingC.acceptableD.reasonable（4）What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.We should applaud good behabior.B.Technology can neber be blamedC.We should keep pointing out mistakes.D.Technology will take over lives one day.3.Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain a healthylifestyle.Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body.However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social, release endorphins, and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others provesmore effective than going to the gym alone.Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision of a fitness instructor. If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track. Don't let fitness frighten you!If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Don't let negativity ruin your motivation.（1）The first paragraph focuses on .A.the greatest challenge of group exerciseB. the most effective way to improve physical fitnessC.the contribution of group exercise to psychological healthD.the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups（2）The underlined word "upbeat" in the second paragraph probably means "A.cheerfulB.averageC. seriousD.temporal（3 When it comes to emotional support, the author thinks it necessaryA. A. to sustain a colorful lifestyleB..to party on weekends with positive peopleC.to try a fun healthy restaurant regularlyD.to surround yourself with supportive people（4）What would be the best title for the passage?A.Seeking SupportB.Supporting HealthC.Improving Your StrengthD.Building Up Fitness4.阅读理解The sun was shining and Clare felt like doing something active. She'd had enough of the moment of living in the past. What she really wanted was some skiing if she could get herself organized. She walked into the ski school office and within ten minutes had arranged a private class for the whole afternoon. One of the ski teacher would meet her at the ski lift station at the end of the village at midday. The ski hire shop next door rented her some skis and boots and she carried them back to the hotel. There she changed into some more or less suitable clothes and took the hotel's electric taxi down to the lift station. She was a bit early and had time to look around,and get nervous. She hadn't skied for about ten years, though she'd been quite good at that time. Everyone said it was liking riding a bike-you didn't forget how to do it. She stood there looking up at the mountains, trying to remember what to do.Madam Newton?" Yes," she said. And there was her ski teacher, looking exactly like all the other ski teachers she remembered sun-tanned, handsome and totally self-confident. Half an hour later all thoughts of the unhappy days had disappeared as she skied behind Bruno and concentrated on staying on her feet."Upper body still, make your legs do the work, Madame", shouted Bruno over his shoulder. "Call me Clare, please" she said. "OK. Lean forward a bit more, Clare. That's it. Good. You are remembering now, en?" "Yeah, I am ... slowly. It's great. I'd forgotten what an amazing buzz skiing gives you".They skied down some different runs with Bruno being wonderfully encouraging, and she really did begin to feel confident on the skis. Going up in the lifts, Clare and Bruno chatted — just the usual "where are you from, what do you do" sort of chat, but it was pleasantly relaxing. In the middle of the afternoon, they stopped at an old farmhouse for coffee and apple cake. There were lots of other skiers doing the same. Clare felt as if she belonged - something about being part of a group, all with a shared interest, she supposed. It was a feeling she'd not had for a long time.Bruno said hello to a few people, and went over to talk to one of the waiters. Clare took the opportunity to study him a bit. Up until now, she'd just been skiing behind a man in a red ski suit, so it was interesting to see that he was quite tall, with curly brown hair and eyes to match. From the colour of his face he looked as if he'd spent his whole life in the open air. She guessed he was about forty."Are you in Zermatt for long, Clare?" asked Bruno, after he'd been sitting with her a few minutes, "No, only a few days probably. Just a short break to get away from everything at home", replied Clare. She didn't feel like explaining the real reason. People looked at her differently when they knew. "But I'd like to do some more skiing. Would you be able to do anything tomorrow?""I think so. But you'll have to book it through the ski school office. I can't arrange anything with you directly", said Bruno, putting on his gloves and standing up. "Come on. Let's do a bit more now." "Great," replied Clare. After another hour, Clare said, "Time to stop, I think," Bruno agreed. "You should have a sauna tonight. It'll help your body relax. Not so stiff (僵硬的）tomorrow, you know." Clare didn't care about stiff she was going to be tomorrow. She hadn't felt quite as good as this for months — full of fresh air, physically tired but in her mind —alive. Happy!
