陕西省渭南市尚德中学《高中英语阅读理解》单元测试题
一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解If you're a fan of smart technology, you may have had some sleepless nights lately. That's because Alexa, the artificial intelligence (AI) behind US company Amazon's Echo smart speakers, has been "letting out an unprompted (自发的),creepy (令人毛骨悚然的)cackle for no apparent reason, according to BBC News.Many social media users shared their stories of Alexa scaring them with the seemingly unprompted laugh."Every time Alexa laughs, an angel dies," Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk joked on social media.On March 7, Amazon released an update that fixed the problem, saying that the laugh was caused by Echo devices mistakenly thinking that users had said the command " Alexa, laugh".However, what should have been a funny story raised the ongoing topic of man versus machine. With the rise of artificial and robotic technology, "Digital machines started to demonstrate broad abilities in pattern recognition, complex communication, and other area that used to be particularly human," wrote Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee in their book The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies. They believe that AI will "do more and more, and our lives will get better".However, ever since the earliest days of AI there have been concerns that some day, software will take over the world, leaving the fate of humans unknown."With artificial intelligence we are order the demon (魔鬼)Musk told students during a meeting at MIT in 2014. "If I had to guess at what our biggest existential threat is, it's probably that. So we need to be very carefulMany scientists have shared the same concern. The late British physicist Stephen Hawking said at a technology conference in Portugal in November that "computers can. in theory, imitate human intelligence, and exceed it ••• AI could be the worst event in the history of our civilization."If creators are to safely control AL however, Hawking suggested that they "employ best practice and effective management".I am an optimist and I believe that we can create AI for the good of the world," he said at the conference. "We simply need to be aware of the dangers, identify them, employ the best possible practice and management, and prepare for its consequences well in advance."(1)What does the underlined word "cackle" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.movementughterC.screamD.story(2)The story of Alexa is intended to .A.lead into the discussion about humans and AIB.prove artificial intelligence has its weaknessesrm readers of the development of AID.show how Alexa's problem was fixed(3)According to Brynjolfsson and McAfee, which statement below is probably TRUE?A.The development of AI could threaten our survival one day.B.Digital machines have complete ability to recognize something without mistakes.C.Robots will never match humans in complex communication.D.Humans lives will be greatly improved with the help of robots.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Man VS.

Bye.Text 10Roald Dahl was born in Wales, in 1916. He was an unhappy schoolboy, so after graduating from school he decided to look for adventure. He first worked for the Shell Company in East Africa, where he lived in the jungle, and then he joined the Royal Air Force, as a pilot, when the Second World War broke out. He was injured while flying, so in 1942 he went to Washington, where he started his career as a writer.In 1943 Dahl published The Gremlins, his first children’s book, which was followed by many others. They were all very successful because he really connected with the children’s interests. He later admitted he couldn’t have written children’s stories if he hadn’t had children of his own. Actually, his books are based on bedtime stories he made up for his own children.As for his family life, he married Patricia Neal, an actress, and they had five children. However, they were not happy. Patricia suffered a stroke but later recovered. Their marriage ended in divorce. Dahl died in Oxford in 1990. He was a generous man who always donated money to those who needed it. He was awarded several important prizes. His secret for becoming a good writer is a lively imagination and hard work.【参考答案及解析】1.

I did really badly in my history course, so my mother said to me, “I’ll work with you for a fullweek. I’m going to show you what you can do if you put in the right amount of effort.” So we di d. We worked on history for a full week, an extra hour every day. Then I went to school and failed the test, as always. It was really upsetting.By the time I got to college I came to know that I couldn’t spell no matter how hard I tried. So I would sign up for extra courses. I’d be in registration lines all day. Then I would go around the first day of class and ask each professor: “What’s your policy on misspelling ” If he said, “Three misspellings is a fail,” I’d drop it.Although I was an academic failure, I had a great time. I had many friends and I was always popular. I was a good football player, which was important in those years because I could read my name in the newspaper. I never had a day when I would think, “People don’t like me.”In spite of my obvious weaknesses, I became successful in my career, so much so that people say to me, “So you’ve overcome dyslexia.” No. I don’t overcome it. I just learn to compensate for it. Some easy things are hard for me. Most people read 500 words a minute. I only read 200. I try not to dial a phone because I sometimes have to dial three times to get the number right. I owe my successful career to my writing instructor, Ralph Salisbury. He looked past my misspellings and gave me encouragement. So I always feel confident. When I write my books, I’m seeing everything in my imagination. I write quickly and go like the wind.The real fear that I have for dyslexic people is not that they have to struggle with their reading skills or that they can’t spell correctly, but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school.1.When the author did badly in the course, his mother thought that .A. he needed a better teacherB. he did not work hard enoughC. he was probably too ill to studyD. he was not as smart as other children2.In college, the author was in registration lines all day to .A. choose most interesting coursesB. become friends with new classmatesC. stay distance from language teachersD. avoid courses that require correct spelling3.Which of the following best describes the author in collegeA. Happy and active.B. Shy and unhappy.C. Successful and funny.D. Quiet and unsuccessful.4.According to the author, it is important for dyslexic people .A. not to get out of schoolB. not to give up so easilyC. to learn to spell correctlyD. to develop reading skillsA unique experience awaits you at the Centre for Alternative Technology on the edge of the beautiful Snowdonia National Park.Over thirty years ago a group of people decided to try out alternative technologies. They chose a remote empty place, where rock used to be dug from the ground, as their base. Here experiments offering solutions to the world’s energy problems were carried out, and nowadays many of these ideas have become common practice. You can experience all these foryourself in just one day with us, and then take away what you have learned and put it into practice at home. Be assured it will help you save on your household energy costs!Your visit to us begins with a ride up a steep 60-metre hillside on a railway which is worked by using the weight of water. At the top of the mountain you will enjoy beautiful views to the distant coastline. Then interactive displays show the power of wind, water and sun, while showing you what can be done in an ordinary household to reduce your influence on the planet.There was no soil when the project was started, so we created our organic gardens using our own home-made soil. You can enjoy woodland walks or even notice spring flowers growing on the roofs of environmentally-friendly buildings.In 20xx we opened our new eco-adventure playground for children, and we also run workshops where they can make models and become inventors of the future by putting wind, water or solar power into their own designs.The Centre for Alternative Technology is open all year round and has good rail, road and cycle links. In fact we offer a 50% reduction on the admission price if you arrive by bicycle. There is wheelchair access for disabled visitors—telephone us in advance if you would like assistance.1.What’s the main purpose of setting up the Centre for Alternative TechnologyA. To provide people with relevant experience.B. To teach people how to reduce energy costs.C. To show the hard condition for early experiments.D. To encourage people to develop alternative technologies.2.According to the passage, visitors can .A. learn to create their own organic gardensB. appreciate the views of distant mountainsC. visit exhibitions of alternative technologiesD. enjoy woodland walks on the top of buildings3.Where is the passage most probably fromA. A literary essay.B. A research report.C. A historical novel.D. A science website.Learning to RunAn article published in the scientific journal Nature discusses an important aspect of human evolution. According to Bramble and Lieberman, Professors at the University of Utah, humans possess a number of features that make them surprisingly good runners. “We are confident that the selection for running was important in the o rigin of the human body form,” says Bramble.Traditional thinking has been that humans are poor runners compared to such animals as horses. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. Even an athlete can hardly run as quickly as a horse does, and can only keep up a top speed for 15 seconds or so. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans will do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their speed is at least at the same level with that of horses.Bramble and Lieberman examined 26 parts of human bodies. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament (韧带). When we run, it is this ligament that prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. Then there are Achilles tendons at the backs of our legs, forming the mechanical linksbetween the muscles to the bones. They act like strong strings and help to push us forward when we run. Besides, we have low, wide shoulders, a development which allows us to run more effectively. Add to this our light forearms, which swing in co-operation with the movement of our legs to assist balance, and one begins to appreciate the point that Bramble and Lieberman are trying to make.But what advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners One theory is that this ability may have permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. Some scientists guess that early humans may have run after animals for great distances to make them tired before killing them. Running would also have shown another advantage: early humans might have eaten the meat left over from a kill by other large animals. They may have been warned of the existence of a freshly killed animal by vultures (秃鹰), and the faster they got to the scene of the kill, the better.“Research on the history of human ability of running has traditionally been controversial,” says Lieberman. “At the very least, I hope this theory will make many people have second thoughts about how humans learned to run and why we are built the way we are.”1.In Paragraph 2, the author mainly tells us that .A. humans are poor runners compared to horsesB. humans are good runners over long distancesC. humans may run at high speed for a short timeD. humans can keep a constant pace when running2.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that .A. tendons are a successful adaptation for runningB. strong muscles and bones keep running effectiveC. the shape of shoulders affects the position of headsD. humans can run faster if they have longer forearms3.What conclusion is drawn about early humansA. They followed birds to avoid danger.B. They were unable to kill large animals.C. They developed their big brains for running.D. They evolved running due to the need for hunting.4.What does Lieberman mean by saying the underlined sentenceA. Proving that humans run in a comfortable position.B. Informing people of the reasons why humans may run.C. Expressing appreciation of the theory of human evolution.D. Making people reconsider the idea about our body structure.Why Mars (火星) is New SettlementIs it possible to live on other planets The United States government is taking a serious look at the moon and Mars as potential places for future human settlement. The moon could serve as a training ground for later journeys to Mars. Currently, with Mars becoming the eventual long-term goal, serious questions exist as to whether the dangers of the settlement on the moon are too extreme and unnecessary.One major reason the settlement on the moon is too dangerous is the difference between the atmosphere environment of the moon and Mars. Atmosphere is important because it protects humans and all other life from a continuous attack of radiation (辐射) caused by sources such as the sun. This radiation is especially dangerous to humans because it increases the risk of cancer and can negatively change DNA. The fact that the moon has no atmosphere can cause great harm to humanbeings. Alt hough Mars’ atmosphere is significantly thinner than Earth’s, at least it has one and would create some sort of protective barrier for humans.Another important characteristic necessary for human settlement is natural resources like water, of which the moon is believed to have none. Mars, however, contains vast quantities of water ice, dry ice, and also snow. There is also sufficient evidence that water once existed at the surface of Mars and might return in the future if the planet warms. With increased technologies, the potential for settlers to remain on Mars by being increasingly self-sufficient makes Mars a much more attractive goal as the space settlement than the moon.Future settlers will not only benefit from potential water on Mars; the planet is also rich in other natural resources such as oxygen, hydrogen, and minerals, which can be well used in productive ways. For example, hydrogen can be used as fuel, and it can be combined with nitrogen (氮气) to form new materials necessary for human settlement. Due to these advantages, Mars would be a more successful planet for exploration and settlement because it contains the basic resources necessary for humans to survive.Since the environment of Mars is more similar to that of Earth and it contains resources necessary to help life exist, it should be the only option for any kind of long-term human settlement. The settlement on Mars would not only be a milestone in space but also an excellent chance for mankind to improve itself from past adventures on Earth and preserve and make the best use of the natural resources Mars has to offer.1.According to Paragraph 2, the atmosphere on Mars would .A. change the DNA structure of humansB. measure the harmful radiation from spaceC. provide protection against dangerous effectsD. cause humans to be exposed to serious illnesses2.What can be inferred about water on MarsA. It is not present in a liquid state.B. It doesn’t exist in large quantities.C. It will bring potential dangers to settlers.D. It can be easily changed into liquid forms.3.The author believes that .A. exploration of Mars takes great riskB. natural resources on Mars last foreverC. settlement on Mars is perfectly acceptableD. Mars is more suitable for settlement than Earth4.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passageCP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionA. B.C. D.四、七选五Sports Fans and IdentityMany people are crazy about a particular sports team. They are big fans and seem to connect their own identity to their chosen team.Identity consists of things like gender (性别), personality, abilities, and social groups. The groups we belong to shape our identity. Related to this is the theory developed by Henri Tajfel and John Turner. 1. In knowing who we are, we may more closely identify with our social group than with our gender group. We also decide which group we belong to, based on different aspectsof our identity. According to the theory, our self-esteem—how we feel about ourselves—is reflected in the group we belong to.2. For example, we naturally protect the group we belong to, while making other groups less important. We think highly of the team we support, while we may add negative comments about an opposing team.Researchers have studied language used by sports fans. 3. By using pronouns like “we”, fans show that they feel connected with the team when it is winning. “We really killed that team. They couldn’t get the ball past us.” However, when their team didn’t do well, the fans wou ld distance themselves from the team, using different pronouns. “They didn’t know what they were doing. They had no planning.”4. They have found those fans have more self-confidence and feel more competent. They are quite sure they have the ability to deal with situations successfully or do things to a satisfactory standard.5. These people will perform better at work and earn and spend more money, so experts suggest that a winning team may have a positive influence on the economy of a city.A. They suggested that we naturally classify people into groups.B. That causes increased competitions between different groups of sports fans.C. It is probably because the victory reflects well on their personal sense of identity.D. Comments from group members certainly have a strong influence on our behavior.E. When their team did well, the fans would closely identify themselves with the team.F. That leads to the fact that we want our group to be seenmore positively than other groups.G. Social scientists have also studied the effect of winning a championship on the fans of the winning team.五、提纲类作文假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。

Aptly nicknamed The Movie Mile, Beacon Hill is the most filmed area of Boston. Movie locations seen on this tour include The Thomas Crown Affair, Parent Trap, The Real World, The Departed, Boondock Saints ! Tour operator: On Location Tours Boston1.If Miss Li is planning to take the Urban Adven Tours, she will start from___.A City of BostonB North EndC Beacon HillD 103 Atlantic Ave2.When you go on the movie tour, how many movie locations will you see?A. 5B. 6C.7D. 83. The information above may come from a ______.A. driving schoolB. travel serviceC. sports centerD. bus stationBSo many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.A friend of mine, recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I can't do that. He's the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn small stuff(问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people beright. This doesn't mean that you're wrong. Everything will be fine. You'll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.You'll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be right,” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don't, that's okay too. You'll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you'll be more peaceful yourself.4.The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.A.recover B.developC.accept D.replace5.In the author's opinion, we hold on to our anger often because we think ________.A.we can turn small issues into big onesB.our positions are higher than othersC.our own opinions matter mostD.others will be less defensive6.The best thing to do after a quarrel is to ______.A.let go of our own rightsB.realize that you are wrongC.expect others to give inD.apologize to others first7.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Be Peaceful B.Reach Out and GiveC.Small and Big Stuff D.Enjoy Your FriendshipCThe number of American students who learned a language other than English decreased by about 100,000 between 2009 and 2013. For many, taking a class in economics might seem more beneficial than a French course. But is it real?The Chinese dialects combined already have more native speakers than any other language, followed by Hindi and Urdu. English comes next with 527 million native speakers. Arabic is spoken by nearly 100 million more native speakers than Spanish, which has 389 million speakers.Which languages will dominate the future? Predictions vary, depending on your location and purpose.You want to make money in growth markets? These will be your languages.A recent U.K.focused report features languages spoken in the socalled BRIC countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China—that are usually known as the world's biggest emerging economies. Hindi, Bengali, Urdu and Indonesian will control much of the business world by 2050, followed by Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic and Russian. If you want to get the most money out of your language course, studying one of the languages listed above is probably a safe bet.You want to speak to as many people as possible? How about Chinese, Spanish or French?1.Chinese. Although Chinese has three times more native speakers than English, it's still not as evenly spread over the world. Moreover, Chinese is rarely used in sciences and difficult to read and write.2. Spanish. Spanish makes up for a lack of native speakerscompared with China—by being particularly popular as a second language, taught in schools around the world.3. French. French has lost grounds in some regions and especially in Europe in the last decades. French, however, could gain influence again if west Africa where it is frequently spoken were to become more politically stable and economically attractive.8.How many native speakers of Arabic are there?A.100 million. B.389 million.C.489 million. D.527 million.9.Those who want to make money in growth market might be more interested in ________.A.Spanish, Arabic and ChineseB.Bengali, Urdu and IndonesianC.Portuguese, German and FrenchD.Japanese, Italian and Chinese10.What do we know about Spanish from the passage?A.It is learnt mostly by themselves.B.It's popular as a second language.C.It is widely spoken by native speakers.D.It will be spoken most in the business world11.What's the author's attitude towards foreign language learning?A.Favorable. B.Negative. C.Doubtful. D.Neutral.DAccording to a survey, only 4% of the people in the world are left-handed.Why? One theory centers on the two halves of the brain. For example, theleft half and the right half, each of which functions differently. Medicalscience believes that the left half of the brain dominates over the righthalf. The foundation of this theory is the fact that nerves from the braincross over at neck-level to the opposite side of the body, and nerves fromthe other side of the brain reciprocate (互换). The end result is that theopposite sides of the body are controlled by the opposite sides of thebrain.The dominant left half of the brain, which kindly supplies the right halfof the body, theoretically makes it more skillful in reading, writing,speaking, and working, and makes most people right-handed. Lefties,however, whose right half of the brain dominates, work best with the leftside of their bodies.Theory number two focuses on the asymmetrical nature of the body.Examples of the asymmetry, which flows from head to toe, are that the rightside of our faces differs slightly from the left, that our legs differ instrength, or that our feet vary in size. One aspect of this asymmetry isthat for most people the right hand is stronger than the left.There is no doubt that all exist in a “right-handed society”, whichproduces most basics, including scissors, doorknobs, locks, screwdrivers, automobiles, buttons on clothing, and musical instruments for the 96%.Left-handed people make up for the unfairness by being members of an elite(精英) society, which includes many of the greatest geniuses, includingMichelangelo and LeonardoDavinci.12. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Left-handed people are better at speakingB. Left-handed people are believed to have stronger left halves of the brainsC. Right-handed people work best with the right side of their bodiesD. Right-handed people are cleverer than left-handed people13. Which of the words or phrases is closest in meaning to the word “asymmetrical”?A. not balancedB. valuableC. not typicalD. negative14.What can be inferred from the passage?A. This is an equal society for the left-handed peopleB. Most great geniuses are left-handedC. Left-handed people are considered to be disabledD. Left-handed people may feel inconvenient in this right-handed society15.What’s the best title for the passage?A. Which proves to be the better way to live, right-handed or left-handed?B. How do left-handed people differ from right-handed ones?C. Are left-handed people equally treated in society?D. Why are some people left-handed?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。

I refused to use a white stic and hated asing for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to loo at me and thin I was not lie them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to stop rapidly on their braes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from wor.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realied I had been apologiing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asing for help, I triedto guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drove away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and as someone at the stop for help.But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of maing a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to wal on to the net stop.25. The girl refused to as for help because she thought ________.A. she might be recogniedB. asing for help looed sillyC. she was normal and independentD. being found blind was embarrassing26.

It too too much time for the girl to catch the bus.CIn recent years, many Americans of both sees and various ages have become interested in improving their bodies. They have become devoted to physical fitness. The need to eercise has almost become natural with many people who have a strong desire to be more physically fit.By nature, Americans are enthusiastic and energetic about their hobbies and pastimes. They apply their energy to running. As a result, there are running clubs to join and many boos and magaines to read about running.The desire to be phy sically fit is eplained by a “passion” for good health. The high rate of heart attacs in the 1960s caused an increase on the part of the public in improving the human body. Middle-aged men especially suffered from heart attacs. Thus, they are one group strongly interested in more physical eercise. In fact, many doctors encourage their patients to become more physically active, especially those who have sedentary jobs. It is interesting to note that the rate of heart attacs began to decrease in the 1970s and it is still decreasing. Physical fitness enjoys a favored role in the United States at present. It is a new “love” that Americans have valued very much. Will it last long? Only time will tell--- or until another “new passion” comes along.29. We can learn from the passage that ________ .A. people’s interest in physical eercise has something to do with their health conditionB. by nature, Americans are stronger and more energetic than othersC. the love for physical eercise won’t last long in America nD. men have a stronger desire than women to tae eercise30.

According to the passage, the underlined word in the last paragraph “sedentary” means ________.A. challenging intelligenceB. energy-taingC. needing much sittingD. sleeping-producingDChildren who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who don’t. With help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading sills.“A lot of parents thin after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,”Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaen.”George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a high level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.” Parents help their child ren build listening, phonics, comprehension and vocabulary sills when they read aloud to them.Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy—television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing ids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when ids can watch or eeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Jones said that while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting boos the entire family will enjoy reading together, lie the Harry Potter series.Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being enthusiastic about it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents’ job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to now what ind of boos to read is also important.32. According to George, reading aloud to children ______.A. helps them correct mistaesB. is helpful to their readingC. is parents’ first duty to their childrenD. can get children out of television’s attraction33.
