Can you imagine an ancient and quiet place? Well, this is Vicenza, my hometown. Every time I have the opportunity to speak about Vicenza with foreign people who do some sightseeing in Europe，I realize that it gets less credit than it deserves. Everybody knows Venice，Rome，and Florence very well，but only a few know the attraction of Vicenza.Vicenza has to be taken into special consideration for the important historical buildings by Andrea Palladio ( 1508— 1580 )，who was born in Padua, one of the most famous architects in the world. It was during the Renaissance (文艺复兴时期)and the next four hundred years in which Vicenza was under the protection of the Republic of Venice that the great structures were constructed, making Vicenza well-known throughout Europe and giving it the remarkable and distinctive appearance which it keeps today.Apart from its historical district, Vicenza is surrounded by beautiful hills and countryside where you can spend time walking, sightseeing, and having delicious meals in the numerous restaurants which serve typical foods and good drinks. Moreover, in Vicenza’s countryside there are splendid villas (别墅）. This is where many Venetians used to spend their summers, farming their land during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.Vicenza is a must-see city for people fond of historical works. In addition, there are jazz and classical music concerts，ballets，and theatre performances，mostly during the autumn. It may be that young people feel Vicenza is not a place where they can have fun，but there are also pizzerias and pubs where contemporary music is performed, so they can have a good time there，too. Everyone needs to come to Vicenza to get to know it. They will see and touch the contributions to beauty that it made to the world.1. When it comes to Vicenza, the author thinks______.A. it is actually well worth visitingB. it lives up to its reputationC. just a few people really fall for itD. foreign visitors are pulled in by it2. What accounts for Vicenza’s uniqueness?A. Influence of the Renaissance.B. Surrounding hills and countryside.C. Protection from the Republic of Venice.D. Buildings designed by Andrea Palladio.3. Who might take great interest in Vicenza?A. Those enjoying living a modem life.B. Those having a preference for fashion.C. Those showing enthusiasm for art.D. Those wanting to learn about fanning.BThe weather was bad during the latter days of the voyage. A northwest wind was blowing all the time. The Rangoon sailed slowly. The captain thought that she would reach Hong Kong twenty hours behind time.Phileas Fogg stared at rough sea with his habitual calm. He never changed his expression for an instant, though a delay (延迟）of twenty hours，by making him too late for the Yokohama boat—Carnatic. But this man showed neither impatience nor anger, it seemed as if the storm were a part of his programme.Fix，a detective who had been searching for a bank robber，viewed the state of things differently. The storm greatly pleased him. Each delay filled him with hope that Fogg had to spend some days in Hong Kong. The weather helped him. Though he felt sea-sick, his spirit was full of great happiness.Passepartout, Mr. Fogg’s servant, was angry beyond expression about the bad weather. Everything had gone so well till now! Did the bad things come? Passepartoutwas very worried about his master’s bet. He wanted to know exactly how long the storm was going to last. The sailors advised him to refer to the barometer (晴雨表).He shook it, but with no effect. It seemed to have no desire to rise.On the 4th，the sea became calm. Passepartout cheered up! The sails were spread, and the Rangoon sailed at her full speed. The time lost could not, however, be gained again. Carnatic would，of course，be missed.At six o’clock on the morning of the 6th，the pilot went on board and guided the Rangoon through the channels to the port of Hong Kong. Passepartout still wanted to ask him if Carnatic had left for Yokohama；but he dared not. Mr. Fogg，however，did not hesitate to approach the pilot.“Do you know when a ship will leave for Yokohama?”“At high tide tomorrow morning，” answered the pilot.“What is the ship’s name?”“The ‘Carnatic’.”“Ought she not to have gone yesterday?”“Yes，sir，but one of her boilers (锅炉）needs repa-iring.”Mr. Fogg looked calm as usual, but Passepartout held the pilot’s hand firmly, “Pilot，you are the best!”4. Fix was greatly satisfied with the storm because_.A. the experience in the storm made him pleased mentallyB. the delay provided him with more days to look into FoggC. it wasn’t likely that the bank robber got in touch with FoggD. he was used to looking at things from different points of view5. According to Paragraph 4，a barometer__________.A. fails to work in a stormB. rises with a sudden shakeC. makes a storm last longerD. shows a change in the weather6. Why could Phileas Fogg and his servant catch Carnatic finally?A. There was something wrong with a boiler of Carnatic.B. The pilot had arranged for Carnatic to wait for them.C. They took the storm and the delay into consideration.D. The weather turned fine and they arrived in advance.7. When Passepartout spoke highly of him, the pilot was most likely to feel_________.A. happyB. anxiousC. puzzledD. angryCLast weekend I visited Rome for the first time. I spent three busy days in the Italian capital，seeing lots of tourist attractions and walking down streets lit with Christmas decorations. There are a lot of things I love about the city.Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics (遗迹)from its distant past. These monuments include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country. The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating: you can’t quite believe how old they are!I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance period at university and was very excited to see them in real life. I walked around the museum in Vatican City and saw plenty of famous sculptures (雕塑）.The best part of the visit was, without doubt, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted in the early 16th century by the great Michelangelo. It was so breathtaking that I couldn’t tear my eyes away from it.In Rome，there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn’t of very good quality. I made an effort to find reliable restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region, like pasta with tomato，onion and bacon. I also love eating ice cream and drinking hot chocolate under the Christmas lights.Rome has not only lots of luxury boutiques (精品店）but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range! It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents formy family and friends. There was also a Christmas market, where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.8. What does the underlined word “gladiators” in the 2nd paragraph probably mean?A. athletesB. butchersC. invadersD. fighters9. Why did the author find the ruins of buildings and temples fascinating?A. Because they represent Rome’s religion.B. Because they are relics from Rome’s distant past.C. Because you can’t help wondering how old they are.D. Because they include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum.10. What is mainly discussed in the 3rd paragraph?A. The great museums of Italy.B. The sculptures in Rome.C. Art-related activities during the visit.D. The achievements of the Renaissance period in Italy.11. What should you be careful in choosing when visiting Rome?A. Attractions.B. Food.C. Hotels.D. Luxury boutiques.DIn its best times on the nineteenth century，thatch (茅草屋顶）played an important role in protecting British homes from the weather. But new technologies since have led to a rapid decline in thatching and many of the thatched cottages that remain have been changed beyond all recognition by developers or have run into disrepair, a rather upsetting reminder of a bygone age.A Welsh company，however，is trying to breathe new life into some of the last traditional thatched cottages in western Wales by repairing them and letting them out as holiday homes. Called “Under the Thatch”，the company is run by Greg Stevenson, who lives in his own thatched cottage in Ceredigion. An architectural historian by training，he repairs old buildings in old-fashioned ways.All the cottages are in attractive locations around southwest Wales. Unlike most holiday homes, the cottages are let all year round—chiefly because Greg prices them lower than many holiday properties (房屋）and he’d prefer that properties are rented just above cost price than not used at all. And with that comes a bargain or two：it’s common for a property to go for as little as £ 35 a night. Consequently occupancy for properties with “Under the Thatch” is at 95 percent (the average in Wales is 35 percent) .Its success has meant that Greg has been able to buy up more old cottages and bring them back into the community. Greg has also diversified from offering only thatched cottages: he now lets out a variety of rare accommodations dotted around western styles, including a renovated (修复的)train carriage and two gypsy caravans which were used by Romanies.Most of his thirty properties are run using environmentally friendly technologies—including solar panels and recycled furnishings. But most importantly, what the cottages all have in common is that they bring back life to local communities. Spend a weekend in“Under the Thatch” rather than in a holiday home，buy local food and visit nearby restaurants，and you will be contributing to the local economy.12. How does the author sound when talking about thatched cottages in Paragraph 1?A. Excited.B. Afraid.C. Sorry.D. Humorous.13. What is the main reason for the success of “Under the Thatch” ?A. The properties’ low prices.B. The company’s excellent services.C. The company’s creative designers.D. The properties’ beautiful locations.14. Beside thatched cottages, what does Greg’s company provide?A. Designing plans for modem cottages.B. Other uncommon styles of holiday homes.C. Environmentally friendly technologies.D. Advice on developing the local economy.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Buy up Traditional Thatched CottagesB. Protect British Homes from the WeatherC. Spend a Weekend Under the ThatchD. Bring Properties Back into the Community第二节（共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch.About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015. It’s been the first bear hunt in the state since 1994. Local officers explained that the black bear population had grown to 3, 500 and become a menace to local people. In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.Months ago, the Swiss government allowed locals to kill a wolf. This was because the wolf killed 38 sheep, and it was a great loss to some local farmers. Days ago in China, three old men were caught by the police for killing a serow (鬣羚), a kind of protected animal. They said they killed the animal because it ate the plants they grew.However, these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops because of human interests especially when it is related to economic development. A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and about 300 bears. His base also offered jobs to local people.“There may never be a standard answer to the question of w hether we should give more attention to the environment or human development, ” said Robert May, a British expert at Oxford University. “But we shouldn’t push either one to the side, as the future is uncertain. ”【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。

Unit 6 Earth first Review 单元测试第一部分阅读理解（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。

AA few weeks ago a group of scientists produced a report about global warming and the natural world. They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants and animals. The scientists were surprised by what they found. They saw that during the next 50 years about 25% of land animals and plants will disappear from the Earth. More than 1 million plants and animal species will die out by 2050.The head of the research team, Christ Thomas, who is a professor of conservation biology at Leeds University, said the results of their research were frightening. More than 10% of all plants and animals will disappear from the Earth. It is too late to save many plants and animals because of the greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere. But the scientists say if we control greenhouse gases now, we can save many more plants and animals from disappearing.The scientists studied some areas of the world with very rich biology. These areas were Europe, Australia, Central and South America, and South Africa. Their studies showed that species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival because they could move uphill to get cooler. In flat areas, such as deserts, plants and animals would have to move very long distances to get cooler, so they are in great danger of dying out. The scientists found many surprising things. For example, they found that half of the 24 species of butterfly they studied in Australia would soon disappear.（）1. According to this passage, global warming can be best described as ________ to many plants and animals.A. deadlyB. surprisingC. disappointingD. frightening（）2. What’s the purpose of the re search led by Christ Thomas?A. To protect animals and plants from global warming.B. To call on people to control greenhouse gases.C. To warn us of the dying out of many animals and plants.D. To study the effect of global warming on animals and plants.（）3. What can be the best title of this passage?A. Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming.B. Extinct Animals in the World.C. A frightening Discovery Concerning Global Warming.D. Disappearance of Butterflies.BYou’ll need to take a deep breath before hearing this news. An astonishing 93% of kids around the world live in environments with air pollution levels that are damaging their health, according to a new report by WHO.Air pollution is to blame for the deaths of 543,000 kids under 5 in 2018, with more than one in four deaths of children under five years old being related to environmental issues. Exposure（暴露）to air pollution can damage the health of kids in a variety of ways, either causing or being associated with everything from low birth weight to childhood obesity and so on.The large toll of disease and death revealed（揭示）by these new data should result in an urgent call to action for the global community especially for those in the health department WHO stated. “Strong action to reduce exposur e to air pollution offers an opportunity to protect the health of children.” The report stressed that healthexperts should communicate with families, communities and policy-makers about the serious risks of air pollution exposure. “Although more researches into how air pollution affects children’s health will continue to be valuable, there is already evidence to justify strong, swift action to prevent the damage it clearly produces,” WHO added.Disease caused by dirty air is more common in low-and-middle income countries, especially those in Africa, South-East Asia, and Western Pacific regions. Poor countries in these areas have the highest levels of exposure to household air pollution due to the use of polluting fuels and technologies for basic needs like cooking, heating and lighting.Advised solutions include cleaner transport, cleaner cooking and heating fuels and technologies, energy-efficient housing and urban planning, safer industrial technologies and better waste management.（）4. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The way to fight air pollution.B. The serious result of air pollution.C. The illnesses children are suffering.D. The deaths caused by air pollution.（）5. What does the underlined word “toll” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Number.B. Threat.C. Fact.D. Report.（）6. What are health experts asked to do?A. Do more researches.B. Find ways to fight air pollution.C. Make the serious risks known.D. Develop cleaner fuels and technologies.（）7. What can we learn from the text?A. Researches of this kind have stopped.B. Air pollution caused 543,000 kids’ death in 2018.C. Nothing can be done to stop air pollution at present.D. Air pollution is more serious in low-and-middle income countries.CImagine the tallest building in the United States. Fill WT that giant building 44 times with rotten（腐烂的）fruits and vegetables. Now you know how much food Americans waste every year.It is hard to believe, right? About 133 billion pounds of food get thrown away. That’s one­th ird of all the food we produce. And a lot of it is thrown away for one simple reason: It’s ugly.The problem is that nature isn’t perfect. Apples can get scarred（留下疤痕）by storms. Cucumbers grow in C shapes. Carrots change into unusual fork-like forms. Watermelons get too big to fit on a refrigerator shelf. These crazy-looking fruits and vegetables may taste great. But most grocery stores refuse to sell them. Store owners say people judge food by how it looks. No one wants a tomato that looks like a two-headed monster（怪物）. But what if you could buy that tomato for half price?A new movement is trying to make people see the “beauty” in ugly food. Some stores are selling ugly produce. It tastes the same. And you pay less for it because the food doesn’t look perfect.Usually, the stores find a nicer word than “ugly”.A Canadian chain uses “naturally imperfect”. In some US stores, it’s “misfit produce”. Whatever you call it, ugly food helps many people. Farmers get paid for food they were going to have to throw away. Shoppers get cheaper fruits and vegetables. The ugly-food movement will also help some of the 44 million Americans who don’t have enough to eat.Many groups give the ugly produce to hungry people.So really, who cares if that carrot looks a little...ugly?（）8. What is the “beauty” in ugly food?A. It costs much less.B. It does much good to people.C. It is useful to hungry people.D. It tastes just as good as normal-looking produce.（）9. The ugly-food movement aims to ________.A. call on people to help the poorB. persuade grocery stores to sell ugly produceC. prove the value of ugly produceD. advise people not to waste ugly produce（）10. What is the author’s attitude towards ugly food?A. He prefers normal-looking food to ugly food.B. He has doubts about the taste of ugly food.C. He would like to buy ugly food.D. He believes ugly food gives poor value for money.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。
