（新课标）2021-2021学年高中英语 Unit3 Life in the future测试题Class: Name: Marks: 总分值（120）第一部份阅读明白得（共两节，总分值40分）第一节（共15小题；每题2分，总分值30分）AMy favorite book that I’ve read is the well-known novel Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen. The novel is about a thirteen-year-old boy named Brian Robeson. He goes to meet his father in Canada, but when he’s in the plane heading for his father, something goes terribly wrong — the pilot of the plane gets a sudden heart attack. Brian is stranded (处于窘境) in the Canadian wilderness after the plane crashes, with only a hatchet (手斧) and the clothes on his back.As the plane goes down in the story, the risks ri se for Brian. That’s one reason why this book is so great. Gary Paulsen expl ains Brian’s troubles in simple words, but he also uses lots of those words to describe Brian’s troubles as well.One other reason is that it sparks (激发) your mind into reading or makes you start reading Gary Paulsen’s books. In this novel, the question is, “How will the main character survive?” So it’s obvious that this book is an adventure and a “man against nature” novel. As you have probably guessed, Brian suffers from hunger and searches for food and shelter. When Brian finds any kind of food, he feels as if he just found money in the street.The third reason why this book is so well thought of is the creativity Gary has put into Brian. Brian uses a lot of things in his surroundings in every way: a common stick can be a spear (矛) or an arrow.In a word, when you start this book, you won’t stop reading it until Brian is rescued. I feel that Gary Paulsen gave Brian Robeson life, and that’s what made Hatchet a great book.1. What challenge does Brian have to face?A. He can hardly keep himself warm.B. He is too young to protect himself.C. It’s very difficult to find food.D. He has no tools with him.2. What’s probably the ending of the story?A. The boy is found and saved.B. The boy fails to defeat difficulties.C. The boy manages to fly to his father.D. The boy lives in the wilderness forever.3. We can learn from the text that .A. the novel mainly tells us how to survive in the wildB. hatchet is the only thing that the pilot leaves to BrianC. Gary Paulsen saved Brian Robeson’s lifeD. the author thinks highly of the novelBThe most popular fashion trend (趋势) for 2012 is a modern reinvention of revival (从头流行) styles, particularly styles from the 1960s. This is mostly a result of recent TV shows. Many of the styles on sale look attractive on teenage girls.● Cat eye sunglassesCat eye sunglasses are one of the most fashionable sunglasses shapes for 2021. Cat eye sunglasses are those shaped wider along the top lenses (镜片) and narrower at the bottom. They will immediately make you look up to date with the 1960s revival.● Curve hugging dressesWhen you are young, your body is often in the best shape of your life. So it’s a great time to show it off. Stars like the Kardashian sisters have been making curve hugging dresses really popular. They may come in long sleeve styles if where you live is a little cool in autumn.● Ballet flat shoesBallet flat shoes are a great day-to-day style because they are always very comfortable to walk in. This season many printed styles are appearing in stores. Flower prints are some of the most popular looks.● Color block T-shirtsColor blocking was a trend that first appeared during the 1960s. It is characterized by the use of different solid colors in the one design broken up by lines. During the 1960s, color block dresses were particularly popular. A more modern style is the color block T-shirt. You will find styles which feature one color across the shoulders, another across the chest and yet another on the lower part of the T-shirt.4. The curve hugging dresses can make teenage girls .A. feel a little cold in autumnB. show off the shape of their bodyC. hide their body disadvantagesD. laugh at the Kardashian sisters’ similar dresses5. Which can best describe this year’s ballet flat shoes?A. They are of the printed style.B. They are seldom seen in shops.C. They are uncomfortable but cheap.D. There is nothing special with them.6. It can be inferred that this year’s fashion theme is based on .A. new materialsB. the stars’ lifestyleC. teens’ imagina tionD. elements in the 1960s7. In which part of a newspaper can we read the text?A. Art.B. News.C. Fashion.D. Education.CDroughts (干旱) are a common feature of the weather in the UK, with one around every 5 to 10 years on average. After 18 months since the drought began to hit the UK, most of the east and south-east of England is affected by drought. Luckily, a new water plant in Beckton, East London, is helping to ease the drought by turning seawater into drinking water.The £270-million plant uses a process (进程) called desalination, through which salt and other minerals are taken out of seawater. The plant takes seawater from the Thames Estuary when the sea is at low tide, filters (过滤) it and then pumps it through a membrane (薄膜) with lots of little holes in it. The process makes the water so clean that essential minerals have to be put back into it. Around 150 million liters of water will be produced in this way each day, supplying 1.4 million people with water.With summer drawing near, the project has been developed to help the widespread drought across the UK. Seven water companies have announced the limited use of water, and hosepipe (水龙带) bans are likely to be announced next month. The ban could affect one in three homes and people caught breaking the rules could face a fine of up to £1,000.As the desalination process is expensive to run and uses a lot of energy, it will only be used in times of drought. Martin Baggs, chief executive of Thames Water, said that more money is needed to help build reservoirs (水库) and develop new technology. He added, “People must use less water during extreme conditions.”8. The process of desalination refers to the process of .A. removing salt from seawaterB. adding minerals into seawaterC. taking water from the seaD. supplying people with water9. It is implied in the text that in summer, .A. the drought in the UK will be less severeB. more methods will be used to ease droughtsC. more drinking water will be accessible in the UKD. the UK will be threatened by more serious droughts10. The process of desalination might not be widely used mainly because .A. new technology can be developedB. it costs too much money and energyC. it can’t produce enough drinking waterD. the water made this way isn’t healthy11. What is the text mainly about?A. Droughts have been common in the history of the UK.B. The technology of taking salt out of seawater is being tested.C. Seawater is being turned into drinking water in the UK.D. Different methods are used to ease the droughts in the UK.DNews 1December 18, 2020 —This year shows strong growth for wind power when the total global installed capacity (能量) added a record 62,000 MW, making the total capacity more than 680,000 MW. Wind power is by far the renewable (能再生的) source with the largest growth in worldwide capacity during the last decade. However, the US is quite slow using wind power compared to many European countries. China is the country with the strongest growth in the total capacity, adding another 20% with 154,000 MW installed.News 2March 13, 2025 — New efforts have been made to get in touch with the Voyager probes (探测器)but to no avail and today it is officially announced that we have lost touch with them forever. The last signal from Voyager 1 was received in November 2020 and from Voyager 2 in March 2021. Voyager 1 was launched into space with the target (目标) to explore Jupiter and Saturn and their moons (卫星) and rings.News 3December 15, 2030 — What will the most popular Christmas present be this year? Affected by the launch of the first manned mission to Mars next month, you will most likely get a gift card for a space trip.

More low-cost space lines have entered the market and you can now find space flights for as low as $3,495.12. We can learn from News 1 that .A. wind power develops fast in China in 2020B. the US has the strongest growth in wind power in 2020C.

Research underway will lead to situations where people can put themselves at events like a rock concert so that they can see, hear and even feel the event. And turn down the volume, if it´s too loud.One attendee said she was scared that the possibility could be dehumanizing, but Schmidt replied by holding up his cellphone into the air. “It has an off button and it is here on the right,” Schmidt said. “My point is that it is all about your control. If you don´t like my version of a rock concert, I´m not forcing you to go. In the future, small robots could be used so busy people can send them to events for video and voice transmissions when their presence isn´t required,” Schmidt said.Technology in the near future will redefine the re lationship among people in the world. “Smarter resourceful citizens are going to demand a better deal for their new life,” Schmidt said.1.From the passage, the new technology .A. largely depends on science fictionB. will eventually replace humans´ presenceC. amazingly improves people´s social skillsD. can unexpectedly bring new various choices2.Why did Schmidt give the example in Paragraph 4?A. To list advantages of the new cellphone.B. To advise a wider use of the new cellphone.C. To remove people´s worry of the new technology.D. To compare the benefits of using the new technology.3.What´s the writer´s attitude towards rapid advances in technology?A. Objective.B. Negative.C. Uncaring.D. Doubtful.Ⅲ. 完形填空Recently I understood the true meaning of love.
