Unit 1 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。
A ★★★☆☆
Not many women have won the Nobel Peace Prize. Until 2004, no African woman ever had. That was when Dr. Wangari Maathai won it — for planting trees. You might ask, what do trees have to do with peace?
“Many wars are fought over resources (资源),” Dr. Maathai said as she accepted the prize. “If we resources better, the fighting will stop.”
Dr. Maathai was born in Kenya in 1940. Unlike most African women, she went to school. High school woke up a hunger in her for more knowledge. She went to college in Kansas and earned a master’s degree in science from the University of
Pittsburgh. She became the first Kenyan woman ever to earn a Ph.D. Later, Dr. Maathai taught animal science at Kenya’s University of Nairobi.
As an educated woman, Dr. Maathai feels responsible for leading others. Dr. Maathai started her work in 1977 by planting nine trees in her backyard in Kenya. Trees are important in Africa for several reasons. First, they keep soil from eroding (流失) into streams, thus cutting down on pollution and improving the soil. Second, trees provide firewood. So many trees have been cut down in Africa that women must walk far from home to find wood for cooking. New trees can also keep deserts from spreading.
Dr. Maathai’s Green Belt Movement pays local women for every tree they plant that is still alive three months later. In its first 15 years, the Green Belt Movement employed at least 50,000 women and planted more than 10 million trees. Following Dr. Maathai’s example, the Kenyan government increased its own tree-planting efforts. The movement has spread to 30 countries in Africa.
When the land and people’s lives have improved, Dr. Maathai says, peace will follow.
21. The underlined word “conserve” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”.
A. use B. protect C. find D. provide
22. Dr. Wangari Maathai is the first African woman to _____.
A. win the Nobel Peace Prize
B. encourage people to plant trees
C. get a master’s degree in science
D. realize the power of knowledge
23. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The importance of trees.
B. How trees prevent pollution.
C. How planting trees works in Africa.
D. The history of tree-planting in Africa.
24. The Green Belt Movement _____.
A. aims to provide job opportunities for women
B. attracted the world’s attention to Africa
C. pays for every newly-planted tree
D. covered a large area in Africa
B ★★★☆☆
Sam Martin, 24, from Belfast
I do all my shopping on Christmas Eve because I prefer to get it done quickly. I certainly don’t enjoy shopping. It doesn’t matter when I shop — I probably won’t buy gifts that people will want anyway. I just look at what’s for sale and choose from whatever is there. I am never disappointed because I never have any idea what to buy anyone before I get to the shop, and I don’t care about getting it at the best price. Lucy Collins, 34, from Liverpool
I’ve always finished all my shopping by the middle of August. I buy when things are cheap and when I can afford to. I also enjoy trying to buy as many gifts as
possible at less than the full price. This year, I’ve spent £230 and saved £695 on the prices.
I think Christmas is a magical time so I like looking for gifts throughout the year. I also like knowing I’ve bought presents that people will enjoy, rather than picking through whatever is left in the shops on Christmas Eve.
Frankie Bircham, 31, from Hertfordshire
I’ve always finished shopping by the end of September. I like the satisfaction of giving people presents they want — I don’t like “Oh, that’ll do”. I prefer to buy online so I can compare prices to make sure I’m getting the best possible deal. It’s cheaper than travelling into London to go shopping and I can easily return anything I don’t like when it arrives.
Andi Euridge, 40, from London
I start my shopping in January and have always finished it by November. I don’t like online shopping because then you have the craziness of parcels not arriving in time.
I live on a tight budget (预算) and I cannot afford to buy all my gifts with one month’s pay. So I prefer picking up a present here and there throughout the year.
25. We can learn from the text that Sam Martin _____.
A. is an organized shopper
B. hates shopping in a hurry
C. always buys presents at a discount
D. enjoys doing some last-minute shopping
26. What do Lucy Collins and Frankie Bircham have in common?

第一节 （共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）
A
There are lots of insects that famers hate. But there also are some they like. They protect crops against damage from other insects. A good example is the lady beetle, which is also known as the ladybug(瓢虫). Lady beetle are a natural control for aphids(蚜虫). Lady beetles are red, orange or black. They often have black spots, though some have light colored spots. Different kinds of lady beetles have different numbers of【Not,many,women,have,won,the,Nobel,Peace,Prize.,Until,2004,,no,African,woman,ever,had.】
spots. There are lady beetles with four, five, seven and fourteen spots.
Many of the well-known kinds of lady beetles come from Asia or Europe. They now are common throughout the United States.
American scientists improved one kind of lady beetle, the multicolored Asian lady beetle, as early as 1916. They released then as an attempt to control some kinds of insects. Over the years, the beetle has become established, possibly helped by some that arrived with imported plants on ships.
Experts say over 450 kinds of lady beetles are found in North America. Some are native to the area. Others have been brought from other places. Almost all are helpful to farmers.
The Asian lady beetles now in the United States probably came from Japan. The Asian lady beetle eats aphids that damage crops like soybeans, fruits and berries.
In the southern United States, Asian lady beetles have reduced the need for farmers to use pest-killing poisons on pecan trees. This popular tree nut suffers from aphids and other pests that the lady beetles eat. But some people say the Asian lady beetle has itself become a pest. They worry that the lady beetles may eat their late-autumn fruit crops.
Experts say Asian lady beetles may appear in large numbers in some years. But they say the insects are too helpful to be considered as pests.
21. What do ladybugs look like?
A. All kinds of ladybugs are of the same color.
B. They each have the same number of spots on them.
C. Most of them are red, orange or black.
D. Most of them have fourteen spots.
22. Asian ladybugs have been in the United States for_________.
A. a century B. half a century C. hundreds of years D. nine decades
23. According to the experts, ladybugs are__________.
A. are more destructive than helpful B. helpful as well as destructive
C. more pests than helpful insects D. more helpful than considered as pests B

Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their pets are just as used to the warm shelter(住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.
Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you‟re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.
If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet‟s water. Sometimes owners don‟t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can‟t get anything to drink. Animals that don‟t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.
28. What can we learn about pets from Paragraph1?
A. They are often forgotten by their owners. B. They are used to living outdoors.
C. They build their own shelters. D. They like to stay in warm places.
29. Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?
A. To know when to bring them inside. B. To keep them from eating bad food.
C. To help them find shelters. D. To keep them company.
30. If pets are left on their own outdoors n cold weather, they may __________.
A. run short of clean water B. get lost in the wild
C. dig deep holes for fun D. dirty the snow nearby
31. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To solve a problem. B. To give practical advice.
C. To tell an interesting story. D. To present a research result.
D

Fashion has always been about change — creating a reason for the customer to buy something new. The next 30 years of the sale will be all about the customer’s interests. And it will be up to traders to keep up with their every desire (需求). “The easiest thing to say is, it will be different,” says Nordstrom, president of one of America’s oldest department stores. “There still will be customers who desire a fresh new product. What that product is, how we satisfy the customer, ”
In many ways, this “different” world that Nordstrom describes has already existed in stores across the USA, with technology as the driving force. Think digital (数字的) fitting rooms, where technology simulates (模拟) body type and gives shoppers a sense of how a coat might look or fit. Or 3-D printers that allow shoppers to make products in their own homes. Even smartphone technology is being developed to let traders get a shopper’s personal data to learn about their tastes and interests.
Stores will still have a presence, but mainly just to let customers have a sensory experience — touching and feeling items they can buy from far away and having them shipped. Where customers shop, increasingly, won’t matter. A person could shop from home, from a car or even on the subway.
Intel has designed a mirror that shows shoppers how clothes look on them — avoiding the inconvenience of a fitting room. When the shopper of the future is ready to check out, a cellphone will do. “The cash registers (收银机) of today won’t exist anymore,” Nordstrom says. “We see the future of point of sale as completely mobile, but don’t expect stores filled with robots rather than salesmen.”
9. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. It’s not a secret.

D. We haven’t discussed it yet.
10. The author explains the existence of the different world in Paragraph 2 by _____.
A. presenting research findings

C. Cash registers. D. Mirrors.
12. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Future of shopping
B. Fashion in the future

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you happen to visit Venice’s world-famous St Mark’s Square in the next few months, you may
notice something unusual. Among the thousands of gray pigeons (鸽子) around the square, are about 35 brightly colored ones. These birds are attracting worldwide attention. However, they are not miracles (奇迹) of nature.
The colored pigeons are Swiss artist Julian Charriere and German photographer Julius von Bismark’s contribution to the city’s 13th Architecture Biennale.
In order to get the color onto these birds, the artists created special pigeon equipment. do believe, however, that making them look more attractive is beneficial to the birds since they are better respected by humans, who normally consider pigeons to be annoying.
Judging from the positive reaction these colorful birds are getting, the artists seem to have a point. Even if most of us don’t like how they look, we shouldn’t change them as we wish. This of course is not the first time animals have been colored for the pleasure of humans. In New Zealand a farmer has colored his sheep pink to attract more tourists.
What do you think? Should we change the appearance of things that are not attractive to us just because we can?
A. They were once very helpful to humans.
B. In fact, they are works of “art” created by humans.
C. Once the pigeon steps inside, it is immediately colored.
D. There are many more examples in other parts of the world.
E. It provides a place for architects and designers to show new projects.
F. The color-blind pigeons are not treated any differently by the other pigeons.
G. However, many people believe we should leave the birds in their natural state.

Someone told me that Li Ming had stolen a pen out my deskmate. I felt I
should let my deskmate knew, and before I told my deskmate about it, he asked Li Ming about it. He didn’t admit steal the pen and it caused a terribly argument between them. Later it turned out that the story wasn’t true, and my deskmate refuses to talk to me. It took quite few days for my deskmate to accept my apology. I’ve learned my lessons from it. I shouldn’t have mistakenly believed what that others said and passed it on. Although my deskmate has forgiven him, I still feel ashamed.

Malala Yousafzai, the teen activist from Pakistan, has just become the youngest person ever to win a Nobel Prize.

She is being recognized today for her global activism on education for girls. Winning this award is a huge honor, especially for such a young person.

The editor of the new Cool Camping Britain guide chooses some of his favorite new finds in England, Wales and Scotland.
Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides
Is this Britain’s most beautiful campsite? From the grassy point looking seaward to the mountains, it’s not hard for campers to see how the island inspired The Lord of the Rings author’s fantasy landscapes. The campsite itself is as wild and wonderful as its setting.
Open April — September, from ￡5 per tent per night.
Swattesfield, Thornham Magna, Suffolk
Deep in the wilds of north Suffolk, this seven-acre campsite has only been open for a few years, with two fields separated by a lake and surrounded by woodland. The position is perfect. It’s a great place to do nothing but get into nature. You can put up your tent in the bottom field or the woodland beyond.
Open Easter — October, from ￡10 per tent per night.
Pleasant Streams Farm, near St Austell, Cornwall
This site, by a lake, is all about simple pleasures. Located in the former mining village, it has a summerhouse（凉亭）with books and games for a rainy day. There are many animals including pigs, hens, goats and ducks on the farm and a pub just a 10- minute stroll away. There’s very little to do here, no bells and no whistles. Campfires are encouraged.
Open Easter — September, from ￡10 per tent per night.
Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Sciily
Its only campsite, Troytown, couldn’t be in a more remote position. Isolation is its greatest advantage — so bring plenty of books to read and don’t expect a phone signal. But at least one of life’s necessities is available. Lying on the hillside overlooking the bay and near the island of the Gugh, it might just win the prize for best beer garden view in England.
Open March October, from ￡7. 50 per tent per night,
25. Which of the following is TRUE about Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides?
A. It has been open for a few years. B. A beautiful lake surrounds it.

A. Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides. B. Swattesfield, Thornham Magna, Suffolk.
C. Pleasant Streams Farm, near St Austell, Cornwall.
D. Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Scilly.
27. In Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Scilly, you can’t ________.
A. contact others by phones B. view the bay from the hillside
C. get everyday necessities D. relax yourself by reading
【考点】广告布告

C
Scientists have discovered thirteen kinds of vitamins. They say vitamins help to carry out chemical changes within cells. If we do not get enough of the vitamins we need in our food, we are at risk of developing a number of diseases. Which foods should be eaten to keep us healthy? Let us look at some important vitamins.
Vitamin A helps prevent skin and other tissues from becoming dry. People who do not get enough vitamin A cannot see well in darkness. Vitamin A is found in fish liver oil and the yellow part of eggs.
Vitamin B-1 is also called thiamine. Thiamine changes starchy（含淀粉的）foods into energy. Thiamine is found not just in whole grains like brown rice, but also in beans and peas, nuts, and meat and fish.
Vitamin B-12 is needed so folic acid can do its work. Together, they help produce red blood cells. Folic acid has been shown to prevent physical problems in babies when taken by their mothers during pregnancy. Vitamin B-12 is found naturally in foods like eggs, meat, fish and milk products. Vitamin B-12 is found in green leafy vegetables and other foods, like legumes and citrus fruits （柑橘类水果).
Vitamin C is needed for strong bones and teeth. The body stores little vitamin C. So we must get it every day in foods such as citrus fruits, tomatoes and uncooked cabbage.
Vitamin D prevents the children’s bone disease rickets （佝偻病）. Ultraviolet light from the sun changes a substance in the skin into vitamin D. Fish liver oil also contains vitamin D.
Vitamin K is needed for healthy blood. It thickens the blood around a cut to stop bleeding. It can also be found in pork products, liver and in vegetables like cabbage, kale and spinach （菠菜）.
Vitamins are important to our health. A lack of required vitamins can lead to health problems.
28. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. There are thirteen kinds of vitamins in total.
B. One can not live without enough vitamins.
C. Vitamins can carry out chemical changes within cells.
D. Enough vitamins are vital to keep healthy.
29. Women who wish to become mothers should take in ________.
A. vitamin A B. vitamin B-1 C. vitamin B-12 D. vitamin C
30. What can change a substance in the skin into vitamin D?
A. Fish liver oil. B. Ultraviolet light from the sun.
C. Fresh milk drunk by people. D. Doing a certain amount of exercise.
31. According to the passage, taking in enough vitamin C can ________.
A. make our eyesight better B. help to stop bleeding
C. make our bones and teeth strong D. help produce red blood cells
