The queen spotted the balloon and asked her personal assistant，Angela Kelly，to write a letter on her behalf.She wrote，“The queen was delighted to find that your balloon had traveled all the way to the gardens at Windsor Castle.”Tom，who proudly put the letter on his wall，wrote back to say that his great，great grandfather，the artist Petrus Johannes Arundzen，had been commissioned (正式托付) to copy Dutch masters' on display at Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. Angela at once replied that she would contact the Royal Collection to find out what had happened to the art works.She kept her word and two weeks later wrote to Tom to tell him what had happened to the etchings，explaining they now form part of the print collection in the Print Library.Angela then asked a favor of Tom，writing，“Would you be able to ask your Mummy and Daddy for me if they know anything more about your great，great grandfather.Royal Collection would love to know more about him.”Along with his parents，Tom wrote back to fill in all the gaps about Petrus Johannes Arundzen.Although Tom's parents don't think there will be any more letters exchanged between the pair，they were touched that she had taken time to contact them.Tom's father said，“I don't expect we'll get another one，but I think it's incredible they bothered replying at all.”1．Windsor Castle is________.A．a playing ground B．the queen's home C．a post office D．a rose garden 2．The underlined word “etchings” in Paragraph 5 means ________.A．photos B．cartoons C．postcards D．paintings3．Tom's parents ________.A．feel very much shocked about the letters and refuse to answer themB．try to deal with the friendship naturally but refuse to do anything about it C．don't take the matter very seriouslyD．don't think this friendship will last long but somehow feel good4．Which would be the best title for the text?A．A Boy's Good Luck B．Tom's Special Ball oonC．A Story at Windsor Castle D．Four­year­old Boy Becomes the Queen's Pen PalＢThe Internet brings us many advantages.With the Internet, people can send and receive e-mails. On the Internet, people can skim over news. Using the Telnet, the user anywhere on the Internet can log into any other machine on which he has an account. It is possible to use the FTP program to copy files from one machine on the Internet to another.But the Internet also brings us troubles.Internet use seems to cause a fall in psychological (心理的) health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University. Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less often, the two-year study showed. And it wasn't that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually seemed to cause the bad feelings.Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely opposite to what they had expected. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.The fact that Internet use reduces time used for family and friends may be the reason for the drop in health, researchers said. Faceless, bodiless “virtual” (虚拟的) communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversations, and the relationships formed through it may not be so deep. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.“But it's important to remember this is not about the technology; it's about how it is used,” said one of the researchers. “It really points to the need for considering social factors (因素) when you design new inventions.”5. The writer mainly wants to tell us that _________.A. the Internet can bring people many advantagesB. the Internet use may cause psychological problemsC. the Internet users are not satisfied with their livesD. we shouldn't use the Internet6. Why are the researchers puzzling over the results?A. Because the results were completely different from what they had thought.B. Because the Net proved socially healthier than television.C. Because the Internet users were all healthier.D. Because the Internet users experienced less depression and loneliness.7. What may be the reasons why the Internet use causes a fall in psychological health?A. Internet use reduces time used for family and friends.B. Virtual communication is less psychologically satisfying than actualconversations.C. Exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.D. All the above.8. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Users anywhere on the Internet can log into any other machine.B. The two-year study showed that using the Net seemed to cause the bad feelings.C. People who are already feeling bad spend much more time on the Internet.D. Relationships formed through the Internet are usually deep.9. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?A. What matters is not the technology but how it is used.B. This passage is not about the technology but about how it is used.C. We should remember to learn about the technology.D. We should remember to learn how to use computers.ＣHe knew his colors and shapes, he learned more than 100 English words, and with his own brand of one-liners he established (确立) himself in TV shows, scientific reports, and news articles as perhaps the world's most famous talking bird.But last week, Alex, an African parrot, died, obviously of natural causes, said Dr Irene Pepperberg, an expert at Brandeis University and Harvard who studied and worked with the parrot for most of its life and published reports of his progress in scientific journals. The parrot was 31.Scientists have long debated whether any other species can develop the ability to learn human language. Alex's language ability was, in some ways, more surprising than the efforts of those animals that have been taught, like Koko, the gorilla (猩猩) trained by Penny Patterson at the Gorilla Foundation in Woodside, or Washoe, another gorilla studied by R. Allen and Beatrice Gardner at the University of Nevada in the 1960s and 1970s.When Dr Pepperberg, who was then a doctoral student in chemistry at Harvard, found Alex was good at remembering words in a pet store in 1977 and bought it, scientists had little expectation that birds could learn to communicate with humans. Most of the research had been done on pigeons, and was not promising.But by using novel methods of teaching, Dr Pepperberg taught Alex to learn about 150 words, which he could put into categories. He could count small numbers and tell colors and shapes. “The work changed the way we think of bird brains,” said Diana Reiss, a psychologist at Hunter College who works with dolphins and elephants. “We used to look down upon those birds, but now we look at those brains —at least Alex's —with some awe.”10. Alex is very famous because ______.A. it died of a strange diseaseB. it lived longer than any other parrotC. it hosted many famous TV showsD. it has a special talent in learning human language11. What was the direct reason why Dr Pepperberg bought Alex?A. He found it was good at remembering words.B. He liked its colors and shapes.C. He wanted to do research on birds.D. Diana Reiss asked him to do that.12. What does the underlined word “novel” mean in the last paragraph?A. Special.B. New.C. Great.D. Unique.13. According to the last par agraph, we can learn that ___.A. people used to think dolphins were the cleverestB. Alex's ability of learning human language has changed some researchers' ideas about birdsC. elephants are better at learning human languageD. birds' great ability in learning human language has already been noticed before14. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Who are cleverer, birds or gorillas?B. A famous talking bird died.C. Have you ever talked with a bird?D. The keeper of a famous bird.ＤA home computer not only helps children master the old ways of learning, but also opens up possibilities that simply aren't available in traditional education. Some software, for example, allows kids to make decisions and see the results in different situations. The World Wide Web encourages young minds to move easily from link to link, topic to topic. The best software draws children into learning by making them curious —what if I click on this picture, drag this over here, visit that website? Knowing how to use a computer also encourages a child's confidence. Kids figure out quickly that computers are powerful, and mastering the machine makes them feel grown-up. In turn, feeling confident on a computer often translates to academic (学术的) confidence. Researchers have found that attitudes toward writing, for example, improve when students write on a computer.Perhaps most importantly, computers can enrich family life. Forget the idea that computer kids are separated. Children like to use the computer with adults and other kids, aski ng questions and comparing results. “The Internet is a unique opportunity to bring resources home,” notes Susan Haugland, PhD, Cape Girardeau, Mo., author of ＣｏｍｐｕｔｅｒｓａｎｄＹｏｕｎｇＣｈｉｌｄｒｅｎ：ＡＷｏｒｌｄｏｆＤｉｓｃｏｖｅｒｙ.Although the benefits of computers are real, they have disadvantages, too. Kids can lose their way, wasting hours on mindless software or violent games. Just as parents have always helped children make good choices about everything from friends to food, books to TV, now we must make sure they get the best out of computers.15. The passage is mainly talking about ________________.A. the disadvantages of children's using computersB. the advantages of children's using computersC. the development of computersD. the fact using computers makes children lose their way16. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of a home computer?A. It provides new ways of learning.B. It encourages children's confidence.C. It can enrich family life.D. Kids can play violent games on it.17. What effects do computers have on family life?A. They reduce the connection between family members.B. They destroy the relationship between parents and kids.C. They provide more opportunities of communication.D. They make all the family members study together.18. According to the last paragraph, we can learn that we should __________________.A. let children use computers freelyB. forbid children to use computers in their spare timeC. permit children to use any software they likeD. help children make good use of the computersＥMy Grandpa has arthritis (关节炎), and it's getting harder and harder for him to do certain things.When I was a little girl, my grandpa would play this game with me. He would tell me to hold out my hand, and in it he would place a shiny silver quarter. Wow, I thought I had the world sitting in my hand. He would tell me that if I could keep it away from him, I could have it. I knew that I couldn't keep it away from him, but I would always try. Then he would tell me that if I could get it away from him, then he would give it back to me.I remember feeling so small compared with him, and I also remember feeling embarrassed because I knew there was no way that I could get that quarter from him. But I tried. I would climb down from my chair, with defeat weighing heavily on my back.“Bug?” he'd say.“Ya Grandpa?” I'd reply, trying to sound as sad as possible.“Here.”There in his outstretched hand would be my quarter. It always ended the same. He would always hand it over. I always knew that I would have to wait until the game was over to get my quarter, because he had so much pride and self-worth that he couldn't lose to a 4-year-old girl. After I grew up, when we played the game again, I never wanted to defeat him. I just wanted to be with him. I loved to hear him tell me what I did wrong, and how to get it right the next time, and I loved the pride in his voice.19. In which order did the following things happen during the game?a. Grandpa placed a shining silver quarter in my hand.b. Grandpa told me if I could get it away from him, I could keep it.c. He gave the quarter over to me and I got it.d.

Unit 3Computers(时间：100分钟分值：120分)第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)AWhen third and fourth graders in Cheryl Barber's class at Helena Flats Montessori School write stories about plants, they're not using pencils and paper, but rather iPads to take photos and type text.Nine-year-old Jenna Oilar held an iPad up to a bamboo plant.At the touch of the screen she took a photo.With her index finger and thumb she then changed it to fit a page in her group's book.Under the photo she typed in text.Students can use many free apps(应用程序), uploaded by their teacher, to help learning.The apps offer a wide educational games suitable for learning.To teach fluently, Barber plans to have students record themselves' reading.There are also advantages in using tablets with students who have disabilities or are learning a second language.Students can enlarge text, change fonts(字体), translate text to a different language or use audio to read text.Using mobile technology isn't new to Barber's classroom.Before the iPads, her students used laptops and the iPod touch.The apps don't work to students who are learning to count money, tell time, solve maths problems and spell as they will get immediate feedback if they are doing a problem incorrectly.Rather than traditional flashcards, Alex Puhl, 8, enjoys playing the game “Math Ninja” where he fights a robotic army by solving maths problems that pop up on the screen.Students can only use games loaded by their teachers.The iPads also show a user's history—when a student starts or stops a program.Student scores are e-mailed directly to Barber.Is third grade too early to introduce so much technology? Barber doesn't think so.“By 2015, third grade is expected to type a story all in one setting，” Barber s aid.What hasn't changed is that teachers still teach required curriculum(课程)．There still are pencils at desks, notebook paper, and yes, teachers' lectures and worksheets to fill out by hand.1．What can we conclude from the passage?A．The iPad is a real game changer in class.B．The iPad has side effects on students.C．The iPad brings convenience to teachers.D．The iPad is the cause of students' failure.2．What did Jenna Oilar do with an iPad?A．She was texting a message for her teacher.B．She was playing a computer game attentively.C．She was taking a picture of a bamboo plant.D．She was typing a letter to her parents.3．The benefits of iPads for students are that ________．A．they are free and programmed with funny gamesB．they are also suitable for children with disabilitiesC．they are timely uploaded by the school teachersD．they are only intended for learning languagesBComputer technology is still developing rapidly.The computer of the future will increase in value and performance while decrease in cost.It will become smaller, but faster and more powerful.It is possible to make some guesses about what the future of the computer will look like, based upon the types of technologies that are being developed now.A lot of progress has already been made in some of these new technologies, but some are still in their earliest stages and may not be ready for use for years.Two of the most interesting areas of computing that are currently being developed are quantum computing(量子计算) and nanotechnology(纳米技术)．Quantum computing is one possibility for the future of the computer that could make computers run far faster than even the quickest computers do today.Quantum computers could be able to do what modern supercomputers are unable to do by using transistors that are able to take on many statistics at the same time.Nanotechnology could also change the face of computing, by creating computers that could be very powerful, though they are tiny in size.These computers could be incorporated(并入) into everyday objects, including electrical appliances(电器), clothes and even the human body.We will beable to use computers in new and unimaginable ways.They will become a part of our lives rather than simply being a box that is used only for specific purposes such as work.Quantum computing and nanotechnology will be able to play new roles, which will make us live greener lives, as well as enjoy better health and happier lives.4．According to the text, quantum computing ________．A．has been put in use so farB．can make computers run by themselvesC．can reduce the cost of computersD．will work by using transistors5．The text is mainly about ________．A．what nanotechnology isB．what quantum computing isC．what the computer of the future is likeD．what future computers can bring us6．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?(①＝Paragraph 1, ②＝Paragraph 2，…⑤＝Paragraph 5)A. B.D.CAlmost every day, we discuss the topic of health, especially for kids.But what is health? “Health” means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight.Let's read the following rules.They can help you stay healthy.①Eat a__variety__of foods, especially fruit and vegetables.We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favourite foods.Remember that we can only get the nutrition(营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit andvegetables.② Drink water and milk most often.Everyone knows that water is important.Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium(钙) to grow strong bones, and milk has a lot of it.Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk (1300 milligrams of calcium), when you are 9 years old or older.You should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca.They include a lot of sugar.Sugar just includes calories, not important nutrition.③Listen to your body.When you are eating, notice how your body feels.When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating.Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable.If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.④ Limit(限制) screen time.What's screen time? It's the amount of time you spend watching TV, movies, and playing computer games.The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time you spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like bike riding and swimming.Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.7．In this passage, “health” includes all of the following EXCEPT ________．A．eating wellB．doing more exerciseC．having a healthy weightD．wearing comfortably8．The underlined phrase “a variety of ” means “________”．A．a few ofB．a lot ofC．the rest ofD．all kinds of9．As kids, we should drink at least ________a day to grow strong bones.A．three cups of milkB．four cups of milkC．two cups of milkD．one cup of milk10．What's the main idea of the passage?A．How to eat healthily.B．Eating and playing are both important.C．Advice on staying healthy.D．Health is very important.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。

高中英语学习材料（灿若寒星*制作整理）Unit 3 Computers 单元测试题第二部分：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。

AIn the early 1900s, Carol Ryrie Brink lived with her grandmother Caddie on a tiny farm in Idaho. The farm was a great place to live. Besides wonderful tall climbing trees, it had cats and chickens and a horse, which she rode all over the countryside and through the streets of town.Even so, Carol was sometimes lonely. She would climb to the top of her favorite tree and make up stories to cheer herself up. The favorite part of her day was when Grandmother Caddie would sit with her and tell stories about the adventures (冒险经历) she and her brothers had.Carol loved the stories so much that when she grew up, she decided to write a book about them. Thousands of children throughout the world have read and loved Caddie Woodlawn. Carol’s book won a special award (奖项) called the Newbery Medal. Each year only one children’s book is chosen to win this award.Carol said it was her son and daughter who inspired (激励) her to write for children. That wasn’t easy when she was busy taking care of a family. Sometimes an idea would come to her while she was washing the supper dishes. She would make a quick note and come back to write it out more fully after her children were asleep.Carol wrote 27 books in her life, many of which are about her life in Idaho. Besides the Newbery Medal, she won many more awards. Later when another author Mary Reed wrote a book about Carol Ryrie Brink, she summed up (概括) Carol’s life by saying, “She tried to live in a way that would not harm others, to never waste a day, and to make the most of her life.”21. When she felt lonely on the farm, Carol would _____.A. ride a horse to the townB. ask her grandmother to read her a storyC. climb all the tall treesD. make herself happy with her own stories22. What do we know about Caddie Woodlawn?A. It is an award-winning book.B. It is about Carol’s adventures.C. It is unpopular among children.D. It is one of Carol’s childhood works.23. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that Carol _____.A. once gave up writing because of the heavy houseworkB. had a hard time in the early days of her writingC. didn’t get any understanding from her familyD. didn’t earn much from her writing24. Mary Reed’s words suggest _____.A. she thinks highly of CarolB. we should be friendly to othersC. she considers Carol a great motherD. we should make full use of our timeBWhen one thinks of an army, one is likely to think of soldiers and guns. Two thousand years ago, when Rome set out to conquer the world, the army needed much more than soldiers and guns. It needed food.At that time, providing enough, fresh food to the soldiers was a serious business. Soldiers that were not fed would desert.How did the Romans keep their soldiers from leaving the army? How did they provide their soldiers with enough food? The Romans traveled with large groups of cattle (牲口), or “food on the hoof.” The cattle provided fresh meat, milk, butter, and cheese. Large European herding dogs (畜牧犬), called mastiffs, were used to help drive the cattle.The Romans conquered the town of Rottweil in A.D. 74. Some of the Romans remained in Rottweil with their mastiffs after the army left. Farmers there started breeding (对……人工交配) their own herding dogs with the mastiffs. They developed a smaller, quicker dog than the mastiff, which was equally good at guarding and herding. Today, this breed of dog is known as the Rottweiler.Over the centuries, farmers used Rottweilers when they drove their cattle to town to sell. On the way into town, the dogs helped herd and control the cattle. On the return trip home, the dogs helped guard money.Over time, Rottweilers became known as the butcher (屠夫) dogs of Rottweil. This was because many butchers in Rottweil began to raise the dogs. The butchersused the dogs to help drive the cattle they had bought in the countryside back to theirstores. They used the dogs to guard their stores and money. They even used the dogs to help carry meat that was for sale.25. The underlined word “desert” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”.A. failB. returnC. give inD. run away26. The Romans traveled with “food on the hoof ” because they needed to _____.A. store fresh foodB. guard their foodC. get enough foodD. keep dogs away27. What do we know about the Rottweiler?A. They were raised by the soldiers.B. They were left in Rottweil by the farmers.C. They were an older breed than the mastiff.D. They were an improved breed of the mastiff.CI love listening to music and there’s never been a better time to be a music fan. With so many ways to get music, we can listen to it any way we want, wherever we want. Although some fans still like to use CD players, the most popular way to listen to music nowadays is by either downloading (下载) or streaming (在线试听).As Internet connections got better, more MP3s were downloaded and shared. But the sound quality of these MP3s is not so good when compared to tapes or CDs. However, new generations (代) of music fans have grown used to this cheapened sound quality and don’t mind.Streaming technology has made it even easier to listen to your favorite music. For a monthly price of about $10 (there are also free services with advertisements), users can listen to an endless amount of music from smartphones, computers and television sets.Unfortunately, streaming is not without its downsides. Because all of the music is provided online, a strong Internet connection is necessary. And although it may seem like the Internet is available everywhere, there may be situations where youdon’t get connected. Agreements with music companies and artists also need to be reached before streaming services are allowed to host their music.Whether you choose to download or stream music, the artist does not make much money. The low payment from downloading and streaming music has also led to the continuing increase in concert ticket prices. And we can only expect these prices to increase greatly in the future.Much as I would like to have all my music for free, I realize that it will kill the industry I’ve enjoyed for most of my life. I can’t say for certain which is better —downloading or streaming —but I do know how I can do my little part to help musicians continue making great music. Rather than focus on (关注) one or the other, I’m going to continue doing what I’ve been doing since I first discovered music: listen to it any way I can.28. What are new grou ps of music fans’ attitudes towards MP3s?A. They don’t care how they get them.B. They refuse to get them online.C. They show no interest in them.D. They are satisfied with them.29.
