Unit 4 Space Exploration单元测试第一部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)AIt's 2035. You have a job, a family and you're about 40 years old! Welcome to your future life.Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror. “Turn red,” you say. Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronics (智能电子元件) are rearranged in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe you're 40. You look much younger. With amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. You're not even middle-aged!As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl, you hear, “To lose weight, you shouldn't eat that!” from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code(电子源码)on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. “Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?” A list of possible foods appears on the counter as the kitchen checks its food supplies.“Ready for your trip to space?” you ask your son and daughter. In 2015 only specially trained astronauts went into space—and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacations. Your best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor says you need these for space travel.” Thanks to medical advances, vaccination shots (防疫针) are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain special vaccines. With the strawberries in their mouths, the kids head for the front door.It's time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. “My office. Autopilot,” you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your enewspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video film rather than read it.1. What changes the color of your shirt?A. The mirror.B. The preprogrammed electronics.C. The sunlight.D. The medicine.2. How do the shoes know that you shouldn't eat the________ breakfast cereal?A. By pouring the breakfast into a bowl.B. By getting the doctor's advice.C. By testing the food supplies in the kitchen.D. By checking the nutrition details of the food.3. The strawberries the children eat serve as ________.A. breakfastB. lunchC. vaccinesD. nutrition4. How is the text organized?A. In order of time.B. In order of space.C. In order of preference.D. In order of importance.B“Siri, what's the weather like in San Francisco?”“Today's forecast for San Antonio is...”“No. San FRANCISCO !!”“The tapper Sisqo was born in Baltimore, Maryland.”Sometimes, talking to an artificially intelligent robot is, well, not so intelligent.Yohav Shoham, the Stanford computer science professor, said, “AI has made truly amazing progress in the past decade, but computers still can't exhibit the common sense or the general intelligence of even a 5-year-old.” Yann LeCun, a French scientist, put it more simply. “We're very far from having machines that can learn the most basic things about the world in the way humans and animals can do. In particular areas machines have superhuman performance, but in terms of general intelligence they're not even close to a rat,” he explained.Oren Etzioni, an Israeli scientist, said, “There's a brand of science fiction(小说) that's very dystopian(反面乌托邦的). These works of fiction talk about how the world is going to get much worse. I'm too much of an optimist (乐观者)to get a lot of pleasure out of reading such stories.”However, robots are becoming smarter. Indeed, our homes are becoming more intelligent when we place devices (设备) like the Amazon Echo and Google Home on our kitchen counter. But, at least for the moment anyway, we shouldn't feel intimidated by this artificial intelligence.There are robots that move like animals and robots that offer guidance. There's even a robot that can paint a picture of Einstein and a robot that can fold your laundry. Robots are not taking over the world yet. So for now, we can simply sit back and relax. And have a robot waiter pour us a drink.5. What does the dialogue at the beginning of the text tell us?A. Robots aren't as smart as we expect.B. It isn't easy to forecast the weather correctly.C. A speaker may be misunderstood by another.D. Weather is a good subject to start a conversation.6. What do the scientists think about the artificially intelligent robots now?A. They have superhuman performance in kitchen tasks.B. They have the common sense of a 5yearold.C. They can only learn the basic things of humans.D. They are still poor at general intelligence.7. How did Oren find the dystopian science fiction?A. Pleasant.B. Typical.C. Realistic.D. Controversial.8. What does the underlined word “intimidated” mean?A. Comforted.B.Astonished.C. ThreatenedD. Disappointed.CMy husband and I recently went to Disney World with our children and grandchildren. Our grandchildren were excited about the attraction where they can drive the cars. Since our party was uneven in numbers and two people fit in each car, I sat out that one and headed down to take pictures of them.As I waited for them to drive by, I noticed a car with a father and his son who looked to be about 7. They rolled down the hill, and then as they neared where I sat, the car shook a few times and then stopped.The young driver looked frightened, “I can't do it.”His father quietly said, “Yes, you can.”“No, I can't!”“Yes, you can.”The little boy was almost in tears, “I CAN'T!”With deep patience, the father said, “Son, you can do this. I'm going to help you.”Then he talked him through starting the car. And moments later with the father helping his son, the two went smoothly on their way down the track.The scene brought tears to my eyes because I couldn't imagine how many times my father had to do that with me. Every time things got hard or when I had failures along the way, I'd say, “I can't do it.” He'd reply, “You can.” Time and time again he patiently encouraged me on the journey. And just like that little boy's dad, my sweet father would say, “Michelle, you can do this. I'm going to help you.”That's where the true strength comes in. I can't do things under my own power, but when my father comes beside me and provides wisdom(智慧) and strength, there's no way I can fail.9. Why didn't the author join others in driving the cars?A. Her family could drive except her.B. Her family fit in the cars without her.C. She was attracted by something else.D. She wanted to take photos of her family.10. What made the 7yearold son frightened?A. He got the car to leave the track.B. He failed to drive the car well.C. He rolled too fast down the way.D. He just couldn't get the car started.11. How did the father help his son?A. By forcing him to drive bravely.B. By praising him for his efforts.C. By encouraging him patiently.D. By starting the car himself.12. What's the author's tone in writing the text?A. Confused.B. Humorous.C. Concerned.D. Grateful.DEvery year you collect a large amount of junk. Think about Christmas presents, birthday presents and holiday souvenirs, and the list goes on. Where does it all end up? Well, if you don't throw it out, it goes to the basement(地下室).However, things with huge amounts of value might be buried in those unwanted gifts. Perhaps there's a beautiful crystal boat in a bottle that was made just long enough ago to be worth a large amount of money. Or, maybe it's an old board game that was never used and has now become a collectable. Yes, these items can be your ticket to a hidden treasure, and all you need to do is go hunting.Once you find the items, you'll probably be wondering how to sell them. Most people choose the standard yard sale and this, of course, is a mistake. You won't find the collectors by this type of sale. Instead, you need to reach the widest audience possible. The answer? eBay.With eBay, you can gain a large amount of attention, start an auction(拍卖) and get selling. Of course, before you can do this, you have to set yourself up as a trusted seller. You can do that quite simply by buying a few small, cheap items first. This will raise the rating(等级) of your little online shop. After that, you should have no trouble at all attracting buyers.Of course, this can just be the beginning. Once you know how to sell things online, you can start making a lot more money by investing and reselling. It's a great choice for a second income.13. According to the text, the gifts we get every year ________.A. are a waste of moneyB. can be valuable sometimesC. should go to yard salesD. should be kept in a safe place14. Why does the author suggest selling your things on eBay?A. It's designed for collectors.B. It follows official standards.C. It has a much larger audience.D. It seldom makes any mistakes.15. What do you have to do before selling things on eBay?A. Gain public attention.B. Buy some expensive things.C. Attend several local auctions.D. Raise your shop's credit rating.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is declining(落低) globally while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance(主导) by the middle of this century to rank, after Chinese, aboutequally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. “The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isn’t rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken,” he says.In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol notedthat three languages that are not near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil, and Malay, spoken in south and Southeast Asia. David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, says about 1.5 billion of the world’s six billion people speak it as a second tongue compared to the 400 million native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. “Nobody quite knows what’s going to happen because no lang uage has been in this position before. But all the evidence (证据) suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster,” he said.36. In David Graddol’s opinion, English will _______.A. remain widespread and importantB. be more important than any other languageC. lose its dominant positionD. die away in the near future37. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ______.A. snowballs will roll down faster than language ballsB. the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the pastC. English language will soon drop in dominanceD. more and more language users will choose English38. How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.39. According to David Graddol, which of the following will possibly be one of the languages that will be most widely spoken?A. Malay.B. Arabic.C. Urdu.D. German.40. What should be the best title for the passage?A. English Remaining the Dominant PositionB. The Future of English? Who Knows?C. Opinions from Different ExpertsD. The English Language Snowball Rolling DownBLanguage learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they startspeaking, and later starters are often long listeners .Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can spe ak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child .Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves asparticularly expressive as de light, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation(摹仿)leads on to deliberate(故意的)imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning ofa word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.41. Before children start speaking________.A. they need equal amount of listeningB. they need different amounts of listeningC. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructionsD. they can’t understand and obey the adult’s oral instructions42. Children who start speaking late ________.A. may have problems with their listeningB. probably do not hear enough language spoken around themC. usually pay close attention to what they hearD. often take a long time in learning to listen properly43. A baby’s firs t noises are ________.A. an expression of his moods and feelingsB. an early form of languageC. a sign that he means to tell you somethingD. an imitation of the speech of adults44. The problem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitations can be co nsidered as speech________.A. is important because words have different meanings for different peopleB .is not especially important because the changeover takes place graduallyC. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with ageD. is one that should be completely ignored(忽略)because children’s use of words is often meaningless45. The speaker implies________.A. parents can never hope to teach their children new soundsB. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speakC. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quicklyD. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoyimitating卷II一. 单词拼写(10分)1.

相信你是最棒的!Unit4Space Exploration单元测试一、阅读理解第一节AA ban on tourists sitting on Rome’s famous Spanish Steps has divided the capital.Under new rules,police have started telling tourists they can no longer sit on the135steps,which sweep from the imposing church of Trinita de’Monti down to Piazza di Spagna in the heart of the city.Police began patrolling the18th-century marble steps on Tuesday,blowing whistles at those sitting down.The monument,a Unesco World Heritage site,has long been the ideal resting spot for tired visitors and holds a special allure at sunset.Visitors who defy the ban can be fined€250,which increases to€400if they have dirtied or damaged the stone staircase,which was made famous by the1953romantic comedy Roman Holiday,starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn.The new rules are an attempt to stop tourists eating and drinking on the Steps.But the ban has been condemned as too stringent.Vittorio Sgarbi,a high-profile art critic and cultural heritage expert,said:“The rule is excessive,almost Fascist.Banning tourists from sitting down is really excessive.”But it was welcomed by business owners in the area.“This is a small return to civility,”said Gianni Battistoni,the president of an association of businesses.Viviana Di Capua,the head of an association of residents of the historic centre of Rome,said:“Rome needs to be respected and people need to understand that not everything is allowed.”Davide Sermoneta,the head of an association of business owners in the area,said many tourists were badly behaved.“They don’t understand that they are in a city of history and beauty.”This fine comes on the heels of other recent Italian preservation efforts:swimming banned in Trevi fountain; Florence's eating-in-the-streets ban;and so on.While some recent moves seem to be a direct attempt to curb overtourism,this particular fine is aimed at preservation actually.Park benches,sidewalk cafes and terraces welcome tired travelers,encouraging guests to sit and stay awhile.1.What does the ban include?A.Tourists can’t sit on Rome’s famous Spanish Steps.B.Tourists can’t sit on those park benches of Rome.C.Tourists can’t sit in those sidewalk cafes of Rome.D.Tourists can’t watch the beautiful sunset of Rome.2.What made Spanish Steps famous?A.The beautiful sunset of the square.B.The comedy Roman Holiday.C.The delicious wine and coffee.D.The famous Trevi fountain.3.Who is against the ban?A.Davide SermonetaB.Viviana Di CapuaC.Gianni BattistoniD.Vittorio SgarbiBIt’s a real case of fish out of water.Blennies(鲇鱼)in the South Pacific Ocean are gradually relocating to land to escape their predators(捕食者),in an example of evolution in action.Fish first began crawling onto dry land about400million years ago,kicking off an evolutionary chain of events that led to humans.But their reasons for exiting the sea have been uncertain.To look for clues,Terry Ord at the University of New South Wales in Australia has been studying several species of blennies at Rarotonga,the largest of the Cook Islands.At low tide,blennies are commonly found swimming in rock pools around the edges of the island.But when high tide moves in,they climb up to dry land and move around the rocks until the tide retreats.The researchers found that this is most likely to avoid predators that swim in with the rising tide–mainly bigger fish like lionfish.To test what would happen if blennies did not have an escape plan,they made blenny models and sank them in the sea.The mimics ended up with wounds,bite marks and chunks-missing.Of course,there are still dangers for blennies on land,like the occasional bird attack,but the predation risk on land is a third that of underwater.What’s more,moving onto land has additional benefits for blennies.Holes in the rocks provide sheltered nests for laying eggs,and they can maintain their diet of bacteria.In fact,several species of blenny fish at Rarotonga have already made the full transition to land-dwelling(陆生的)species.They continue to breathe with their gills,but have developed stronger tail fins and jump from rock to rock.Ord believes that many evolutionary processes have been driven by the need to escape predators.“It is often assumed that animals move homes to find new sources of food,but in many cases,escaping predators is a stronger motivation.”he says.4.Why do blennies climb to dry land when high tide comes?A.To acquire better health.B.To search for more food.C.To seek safer living conditions.D.To adapt to a new environment.5.What does the underlined part“The mimics”in Paragraph6refer to?A.The rocks in the water.B.The predators of blennies.C.The researchers of blennies.D.The models of blennies.6.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A.Ord’s research opens a new view.B.Ord wonders why animals move homes.C.Ord shows us the benefits of blennies’evolution.D.Ord has discovered how fish have become land dwellers.第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
Unit 4-Amazing art单元综合能力测试时间:100分钟满分:120分选择题部分第二部分阅读理解(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A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
ASamuel Morse was born in Massachusetts USA. He started off his career as an inventor after being a painter and sculptor (雕塑家). He even earned a gold medal from the famous Adelphi Society of Arts for his first effort in sculpture, the “Dying Hercules”. He became the first president of the National Academy of Design, and became Professor of the Arts of Design in the University of the City of New York.Yet, this painter turned to inventing to make his fortune during a sea voyage. On this journey, Samuel Morse heard about many attempts to create usable telegraphs. He was fascinated by this problem and began to study books on physics for two years to gain more scientific knowledge. He realized that pulses (脉冲) of electrical current could carry information over wires.Thus the world’s first working model of a telegraph was born. His signaling device was quite simple. It consisted of a transmitter (containing a battery and a key), a small buzzer (蜂鸣器) as a receiver and a pair of wires connecting the two. Samuel Morse improved it by adding a switch and a second buzzer to allow transmission (传播) in the opposite direction as well.On May 24, 1844 Samuel Morse sent the first electronic message between Baltimore and Washington, “Look what God has enabled us to build, and benefit by. ”Seventeen years later, the two coasts of the United States were linked by telegraph. The telegraph continued to enjoy the position of being the fastest and most reliable means of communication for almost 140 years since its invention.1. From the passage we learn that Samuel Morse ______.A. was a famous sculptor at one timeB. was president of New York UniversityC. first discovered pulses of electrical currentD. became a millionaire after inventing the telegraph2. Samuel Morse wanted to invent a telegraph because ______.A. He was very interested in itB. He thought he was a talented inventorC. He thought he could make a fortuneD. He thought he would be famous3. The underlined phrase “the two” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.A. the battery and the keyB. the transmitter and the buzzerC. the wires and the batteryD. the receiver and the keyBPhotography(摄影) is a very popular art form. Anyone with a camera or a mobile phone can practice it. A picture communicates in a way that words often can’t.As the photographer Destin Sparks put it, “Photography is the story Ifail to put into words. ” And there’s no better chance to practice the artof photography than during our vacation time.Holiday photos have been a part of the culture of travelers for a long time. For decades, vacationers have made sure they’ve packed a camera along with bathing suits, Hawaiian shirts and sunglasses. A camera is an important holiday item. But over the last 10 years, photography has become much more popular. It’s easy to capture ( 捕捉) still and moving pictures of places of interest, and it’s also easy to show off these pictures on social media. Armed with their smart phones, tourists, this year more than ever, are capturing the beauty of our planet.Of course, travel companies have caught on to this. Trekksoft has an example of photo-tourism from the United States, a land with a vast choice of beautiful locations. Antelope Slot Canyon Tours in Arizona specializes in tours of the state’s famous canyons(峡谷), which gives photographers the chance to capture them on camera.Most of the tourists are able to make beautiful images with just their mobile phones. Still, help is on hand from the tour guide for those who aren’t great at using their cameras. These tour guides have taken a course in photography in case the skills they’ve learned would help their customers.4. According to the writer, which of the following can be the best time to practice photography?A. The time when people are traveling around.B. The time when people have no words to say.C. The time when you have a tour guide to help you.D. The time when you have a mobile phone with you.5. Why has photography become much more popular in the past ten years?A.

The technology of photography.7. What is special about Antelope Slot Canyon Tours?A. Its wide choices.B. Its photo-tourism.C. Its best tour guide.D. Its great photography course.CKaren Bystedt was born in Israel, but lived in London and California as a child. In 1982, as a photography (摄影) student at New York University, she was photographing male models for a book when she came across an ad featuring Andy Warhol, a very famous artist. She thought it would be really great to put him in her book.So she called Andy Warhol at his studio in Union Square and asked if she could photograph him.Two weeks later, Bystedt took a rented Hasselblad camera and lights to Warhol’s famed “Factory” on 14th street. She ended up taking 36 pictures, and published two in her book, Not Just Another Pretty Face, published in 1983. Warhol came to its launch (发行) party—and that was the last time she saw him.A few years later, she packed the portraits in a box and moved to Los Angeles. But after she’d gotten settled, she couldn’t find them. She couldn’t remember whether she had given the photos away or just left them in some forgotten storage unit. Either way, she thought they were lost forever.In 2011, Bystedt became determined to find the missing films(底片). She spent two weeks going through two old garages, where she had put a bunch of belongings decades before.In a cardboard box, she found ten of the original films, covered in dust. She and a friend spent four months digitizing and cleaning the images up, pixel(像素) by pixel.Bystedt was not content to merely publish the unseen photos. She invited contemporary artists to paint over and around her Warhol pictures, breathing new life into her old work. So she began reaching out to artists, seeing if they would be interested in putting their own stamp on the pictures.The responses were overwhelming. Bystedt’s new exhibit, “The Lost Warhols”, opened on May 1, 2018 at 178 Sixth Avenue in Soho, New York, included 66 different interpretations of her portraits from 34 artists.8. After photographing Andy Warhol, Bystedt ______.A. never met the artist againB. published a book the following yearC. published all of his pictures in her bookD. decided to photograph some male models for a book9. According to the passage, the photos of Andy Warhol ______.A. were found missing soon after they were takenB. were taken when the artist was 19 years oldC. were found missing after Bystedt moved to Los AngelesD. were taken by Bystedt without the artist’s permission10. What did Bystedt do after the missing films were found?A. she published the unseen photos very quickly.B. she held a party for some artists to view the photos.C. she spent months repairing the films.D. she displayed the pictures to make a profit.11. What would be a suitable title for the passage?A. Photos of Andy Warhol Lost ForeverB. A S pecial Exhibit of Andy Warhol’s WorksC. Friendship Between an Artist and a PhotographerD. Unseen Portraits of Andy Warhol Lost and FoundDTime,wars and natural disasters have a bad effect on the artistic and cultural objects in the world.More than 1,000 years ago,a fire destroyed the Library of Alexandria in Egypt.In 1755,an earthquake destroyed Ribeira Palace in Lisbon,Portugal,along with artworks inside.In moderntimes,the Taliban destroyed the huge Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan.As we all know,museums play an important part in our daily lives.They keep evidence of culture and history and exhibit great works.A major goal of most museums in the world is to make sure that important historical objects do not disappear forever.The Uffizi Gallery in Florence,Italy,holds 1,250 pieces of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures.These objects have inspired artists and historians for many years.So the museum is working to make a complete and permanent(永久的) record of the artworks.The project is an effort of both the museum and the scientists from Indiana University in the United States.The team is using technology to create digital copies(数字复制品) of the Uffizi’s ancient sculptures.The process is called photogrammetry.At one time,this process was slow and expensive.But not anymore,said Professor Robert Frischer.He said photogrammetry is now much faster and cheaper.Now they can gather 3-D data(数据) on a life-size sculpture in half an hour and they can process the data just in a couple of hours.The images allow the viewer to examine the sculpture from all sides.And when the viewer zooms in(用变焦距镜头放大),the image becomes clearer.The Uffizi hopes to have the collection completed and available on the Internet by 2020.12.What can we learn about photogrammetry?A.It is still expensive.B.It is a time-saving step now.C.It does great harm to the artworks.D.It was invented by Robert Frischer.13.What can we learn about the images?A.It’s impossible to make them larger.B.They will take the place of real sculptures.C.People can enjoy them online in the future.D.They can only show the front of the sculpture.14.What can we learn about some artworks?A.They have been badly damaged.B.They were destroyed by accident.C.They were not protected by humans.D.Most of them are kept in Italy now.15.Why do the Uffizi Gallery and Indiana University work together?A.To build the largest museum.B.To create long-lasting artworks.C.To introduce some ancient sculptures.D.To inspire more artists and historians.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。
