What can we learn about the book Life of Pi?A．It was written in 2001.B．It was awarded two prizes.C．It tells a story about friendship.D．It is based on the author's personal experience.2．In the book Life of Pi the hyena is killed by ________．A．PiB．the zebraC．the orangutanD．Richard Parker3．How does Pi escape being eaten by the tiger?A．By catching fish for the tiger.B．By locking the tiger in a cage.C．By being the leader of the two of them.D．By fighting with the tiger.4．What happens after Pi arrives in Mexico?A．The tiger dies.B．He tries to escape.C．The Mexicans feel sorry for him.D．The Mexicans doubt his experience.Ⅲ.完形填空When I began planning to move to Auckland to study, my mother was worried about a lack of job and cultural differences.

great valley in the desert country of Arizona.But you must go there yourself to feel its true size and beauty.The Grand Canyon is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world.The Colorado River formed the Grand Canyon over millions of years.Slowly, the river cut down through hard rocks.At the same time，the land was rising.Today，the canyon is one and a half kilometres deep and 445 kilometres long.The oldest rocks at the bottom of the canyon are more than 1 billion years old.The width varies from about 200 metres to 29 kilo-metres across.The rim(边缘) or top of the canyon is about 2，300 metres above sea level on the South Rim, and about 3，000 metres on the other side, the North Rim.As a result, there are different kinds of plants and animals on opposite sides of the canyon.The South Rim has dry desert while the North Rim has tall forests.The canyon looks different at different time of day, and in different seasons.At sunrise and sunset the red, gold, brown and orange colours of the rocks are especially clear and bright.In winter, the canyon is partly covered with snow.The North Rim of the canyon is quieter.It takes all day to drive there from the South Rim because there is only one bridge across the Colorado River.On the way, you go through Navajo Indian lands, and a col ourful pink desert called “The Painted Desert”．You can walk down into the Grand Canyon, or you can go down on the back of a mule(骡子)．You can also take a boat trip down the Colorado River，and camp on the beaches at night.But whether you see the Grand Canyon from the top or the bottom, it will be an experience that you will never forget.1．The best way to feel the size and beauty of the Grand Canyon is to ________．A．see its photographs B．listen to the report about itC．watch its programmes D．travel there yourself2．________ made the Grand Canyon.A．The earthquake B．The water from the Colorado RiverC．The land's rising D．The strong wind3．________ of the canyon is different at different time.A．The scene B．The rim C．The width D．The colours of the rocks4．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．The Grand Canyon is getting deeper and deeper.B．The oldest rocks at the bottom of the canyon are more than 1 billion years old.C．If you want to get the finest beauty of the canyon, you'd better go to its bottom.D．The animals and plants of the two sides of the canyon are of the same kind.BDuring a full moon, the white stone used to build the Taj Mahal shines like a pearl.Visitors are told that it's the best time to see the monument, built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for his favourite wife.The Taj Mahal is open for full moon tours only three nights a month, and only for special groups.Full moon or not, however, about 20，000 tourists visit the Taj Mahal every day except Friday, when the monument is closed.Last year, 6.29 million foreigners, mostly from the United States and Western Europe, visited India for leisure, accounting for 16.56 billion in tourism receipts.For sure, many of them visited the Taj Mahal in the city of Agra in Uttar Pradesh state, about 200 kilometre from the capital New Delhi.More than foreigners, however, this country's 1.22 billion people keep the local tourism industry full of energy.The Taj Mahal itself had quantities of visitors when I visited Sunday afternoon.There was hardly room to breathe inside the monument.I must have lost 10 pounds, sweating inside and in the open areas.When the temperature reaches up to nearly 50 degrees Celsius during an average summer in India, the Taj Mahal is shut down.Temperature in Agra has hit a record of 79 degrees Celsius, but that was back in 1932.In recent days, Agra is suffering from a high temperature.That's burning to half death if I were inManila now.Maybe it is my imagination, but I think even the cows couldn't put up with the heat and hardly moved on the narrow road leading to the Taj Mahal.Neither heat nor rain nor cattle blocking the street can keep away the groups of tourists that are to see the Taj Mahal.And the Indian government is keen to bring in more visitors.Nearly 6.3 million foreign visitors are not a lot for a country this size, with its wonderful culture and many travel attractions.5．What can we conclude from the passage?A．The author wishes to share his visit to the Taj Mahal.B．The author complains the Taj Mahal is too crowded.C．The author warns people not to visit the Taj Mahal.D．The author introduces the Taj Mahal to readers.6．It is the best to enjoy the Taj Mahal during a full moon ________．A．because visitors are allowed into the Taj Mahal thenB．because visitors are hoping to become the special groupC．because visitors can enjoy the most wonderful Taj MahalD．because visitors can enjoy themselves in a quiet atmosphere7．When the author visited the Taj Mahal ________．A．the temperature was about 50 degrees CelsiusB．visitors were almost burnt to half deathC．he had a wonderful imagination about the buildingD．there were so many visitors in the Taj MahalCChina is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I travelled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a lions of them, all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However, people still use their bicycles to get around.For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colours—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It's fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道)．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weatheraccompanied(陪伴) my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的)．To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn't want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.8．According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A．Because they are convenient and inexpensive.B．Because they are traditional and safe.C．Because they are colourful and available.D．Because they are fast and environment-friendly.9．How did the author feel about his street crossing?A．It was boring. B．It was wonderful.C．It was lively. D．It was difficult.10．Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B．The author took great pleasure in biking.C．The author was praised by the other bikers.D．The author was annoyed by the air while riding.Ⅳ读后续写阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

总分120分。

考试时间100分钟。

第Ⅰ卷Ⅰ.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)AThere was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care.To water his flowers，he used two buckets.One was a shiny and new bucket.The other was a very old and dilapidated one，which had seen many years of service，but was now past its best.Every morning，the gardener would fill up the two buckets.Then he would carry them along the path，one on each side，to the flower beds.The new bucket was very proud of itself.It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出)．The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes：before it reached the flower beds，much water had leaked along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say，“See how capable I am！How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day！I don't know why he still bothers you.What a waste of space you are！”And all that the old bucket could say was，“I know I'm not very useful，but I can only do my best.I'm happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me，at least.”One day，the gardener heard that kind of conversation.After watering the flowers as usual，he said，“You both have done your work very well.Now I am going to carry you back.I want you to look carefully along the path.”Then the two buckets did so.All along the path，they noticed，on the side where the new bucket was carried，there was just bare(光秃秃的) earth；on the other side where the old bucket was carried，there was a joyous row of wild flowers，leading all the way to the garden.1．What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?A．Dirty. B．Dark. C．Worn out. D．Plain-looking.2．The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to________.A．laugh at the old oneB．take pity on the old oneC．show off its beautiful looksD．praise the gardener's kindness3．Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A．Because it was used to keep balance.B．Because it stayed in its best condition.C．Because it was taken as a treasure.D．Because it had its own function.BAlmost every machine with moving parts has wheels, yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for. We do know, however, that they existed over 5，500 years ago in ancient Asia.The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5，100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't become popular for a while, though. It was probably due to that animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.But it could be also due to a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modern road design.In the mid-1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer(层) of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same time, metal hubs(the central part of the wheel)came into being, followed by the wheels that were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads(柏油碎石路面). As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster.4．What might explain why transport wheels didn't become popular for some time?A．Few knew how to use transport wheels.B．Humans carried farming tools just as well.C．Animals were a good means of transport.D．The existence of transport wheels was not known.5．What do we know about road design from the passage?A．It was easier than wheel design.B．It improved after big changes in vehicle design.C．It was promoted by fast-moving vehicles.D．It provided conditions for wheel design to develop.6．What is the passage mainly about?A．The beginning of road design.B．The development of transport wheels.C．The history of public transport.D．The invention of fast-moving vehicles.CTravelling without a map in different countries, I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office？”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don't have name signs. In Japan, people use landmarks(地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travellers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office？” you ask. “Oh，” they answer, “it's about five minutes from here.” You don't understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please？” To this question you won't get an answer, because most probably they don't know it themselves.People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.Sometimes a person doesn't know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Mexico, no one answers “I don't know.” People there believe that “I don't”is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It's body language.7．Which of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions?A．“Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”B．“Turn right at the hospital. The library is right in front of you.”C．“The post office is about five minutes from here.”D．“Follow me, and I will lead you there.”8．What can we know about people in Los Angeles according to the passage?A．They have no sense of direction.B．They are good at reading maps.C．They often give directions by time.D．They'll show you a direction even if they don't know.9．What is Greeks' way to give directions ?A．Using street names. B．Using landmarks.C．Leading people the way. D．Using body language.10．Where is Yucatan?A．In the USA. B．In Japan. C．In Greece. D．In Mexico.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。

单元综合测评uni t 2 Book 2(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)AThirty years ago, if you looked down from a plane at the east coast of Australia, you would be greeted by the breathtaking beauty of the Great Barrier Reef(大堡礁), the world's largest coral reef.It stretched for over 2，600 kilometres in the blue sea, containing countless corals and small islands.It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981.However, this natural wonder of the world is being taken away from us.Coral cover in the Great Barrier Reef has dropped by more than half over the last 28 years, The Guardian reported.“If the trend continues, coral cover could halve again by 2022，” said Peter Doherty, researcher at the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS)．So unless we start acting now, there won't be any “heritage” left in the future.Coral reefs are an important part of the ocean's ecosystem.They are a source of food, and act as protection for young fish.But in the past three decades they have been under__threat around the world mainly from increased storms, a growing number of crown-of-thorns starfish and coral bleaching(退色)．Storm damage caused nearly half of the coral losses.In the past seven years, the reef has been affected by six major storms, each leaving a trail(痕迹) of destruction.The crown-of-thorns starfish is also causing problems. Scientists believe that run-offs(地表径流) containing a large amount of fertilizers have caused the population boost of this coral-eating animal.Outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish usually start two or three years after major floods in northern rivers.Coral bleaching accounts for about 10 per cent of coral damage.It is usually due to ocean acidification(酸化) and rising temperatures because sea water absorbs more carbon dioxide from the air.This disrupts the corals' ability to grow and build structures.The good news is that corals can recover if given the chance.But this is slow.And the future ofthe ocean's coral is largely in human hands.“We can't stop the storms…But we can achieve better water quality, and we can deal with the challenge of crown-of-thorns starfish，” says John Gunn, CEO of AIMS. “However, its future also lies with the global response to reducing carbon dioxide emissions(排放)．”1．What can we learn about the Great Barrier Reef from the article?A．As the world's second largest coral reef, the Great Barrier Reef was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.B．The Great Barrier Reef has lost more than half of its coral cover since 28 years ago.C．At the present rate of loss, the coral cover will reduce by another 30 per cent within a decade.D．Coral reefs are an important part of the ocean's ecosystem and can prevent ocean acidification.2．The underlined phrase “under threat” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”．A．at riskB．out of sightC．in demandD．beyond recognition3．What can we do to prevent further coral decline of the Great Barrier Reef according to the article?a．Improve water quality.b．Reduce global carbon dioxide emissions.c．Disrupt the coral-eating starfish's ability to build structures.d．Control the population of the crown-of-thorns starfish.e．Make ocean absorb more carbon dioxide from the air.A．a, b, c B．a, b, dC．a, c, e D．b, d, eBSoon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone's eyes are different.So in the future you won't have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank.You will just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.The eye-recognition program is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain,Spain, Italy, and Turkey.Soon, this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don't change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers.And even twins have different eyes, so the program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is.Some programs may be right only 51% of the time.In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said they liked the idea of eye-recognition.4．What will the program for remembering eyes be used for?A．Banks and computers.B．Banks and shops.C．Guns and computers.D．Guns and shops.5．Which recognition program is already in use?A．Remembering eyes and smell.B．Remembering fingers and voices.C．Remembering faces and voices.D．Remembering hands and faces.6．What problems could there be with the eye-recognition program?A．Some eyes are the same.B．Eyes can change.C．It is not always correct.D．Eyes can get dirty.CHousing price in China has always caused heated discussions among property developers(房地产开发商) and ordinary Chinese.To many property developers and local government officials, housing price in China is still low compared with many developed countries.However, the average housing price in the United States is only 8，000 yuan per square metre, while in China, it is even higher thanthat in the United States.This shows that there are some bubbles in Chinese real estate (房地产) market, the International Finance News reported.Although the average price of residential(住宅的)houses in the United States, after changed to Renminbi, is about 8，000 yuan per square metre, the houses in the US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses.If the US property developers sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8，000 yuan per square metre.In most big Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than that in the US.The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some bubbles.Moreover, Chinese houses cannot be compared with houses in the US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities.Furthermore, it should be noted that American people's average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people.How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in the US?At the beginning of 2007, the Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public.Now in order to reduce the high housing prices, the government can control the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release(发放) of loans and lands to property developers.At the same time, the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels, such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units.By applying these multiple means, it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered.7．What is the average housing price per square metre in China?A．8，000 yuan.B．10，000 yuan.C．7，000 yuan.D．It's not mentioned here.8．How many measures are mentioned in the last paragraph in order to reduce the high housing prices?A．Four. B．Three. C．Two. D．One.9．What is the main idea of this passage?A．The Chinese government should take measures to control the high housing price.B．There are some bubbles in Chinese real estate market.C．The average housing price in China is even higher than that in the United States.D．The Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public.10．What does the word “bubbles” mean in the first paragraph?A．沸腾B．泡沫C．流动D．感情第二节(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。
