AI picked up my two best friends and we were off on a road trip. I had just returned to America from a year abroad in China. So, naturally I wanted to take a trip to Canada.Montreal, the second largest city in Canada, is a four-hour drive from my home in New Hampshire. We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada. It was the first time that I had ever driven across an international border. We turned on the radio to try and find some Canadian stations.After dropping off our bags at our hotel, we were immediately walking down the famous Saint Catherine Street. While we walked, two things surprised us: how cold it was and how well everyone dressed. The streets of Montreal are like a fashion show. Both men and women look like they stepped out of the pages of a magazine.All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montreal is so cold. Last year it broke the record for the most snowfall in North America. To hide from the cold we went into a diner because we wanted to order poutine, a very popular snack in Montreal. It is French fries covered in cheese and brown gravy（肉汁）. It is delicious.However, we had a hard time ordering the dish since the official language of Montreal is French. It is actually the fifth largest French-speaking city in the world. But since almost the rest of Canadians speak English, plenty of people were there to help.We spent the rest of the weekend going to many historical churches and monuments in Montreal. But at night we’d head to the very modern dance clubs and bars. Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future and the traveller can choose whichever direction he wants to go.1. Which of the following can NOT be concluded from Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4?A. The author and his friends couldn't wait to explore the city.B. The author wasn’t used to the weather of Montreal.C. The citizens from Montreal care much about what they wear.D. Montreal often holds fashion shows.2. What can we infer from the passage?A. The author often went to China for a visit.B. The people they met in the diner were kind and helpful.C. All the people in the diner were locals.D. The author went to Montreal on business.3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The author listened to Canadian radio programmes and chose their first stop as advised.B. The author took a trip to Montreal—the third largest city in Canada.C. Montreal broke the record for the most snowfall in the world last year.D. Montreal is a city which is both traditional and modern.BCities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness（荒野）. But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche（雪崩）once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go—to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City—its present population is 762.4. What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favourable climate.5. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Half of them died.6. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winter.D. They were short of food.7. What is the text mainly about?A. The rise and fall of a city.B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.CDon’t go to Kauai. Go to any of the other Hawaiian Islands —Maui, Lanai, the Big Island —but leave Kauai for us. The weather in Kauai is so unpredictable that sometimes it rains all day —in fact, it’s the second-wettest spot on the earth. Yes, there are giant double rainbows all the time, and the sunlight through the clouds is magical. But if you are not interested in these, go somewhere else. You just can’t control nature on Kauai, and who wants to surrender to nature when you could be at a fine hotel, lying in a comfortable chair next to a swimming pool, withfood served upon request?So what if Kauai produces surf champions the way Texas produces cowboys? Most of is 300 white-sand beaches are unmarked. Unless you connect with the local people, the hidden spots are hard to find. While Hanalei is the most beautiful town you’ve ever dreamed of, you can forget about discos and clubs. Worse, it doesn’t have one single four-star restaurant. What it does have is the original drive-through places where you pass by a rambutan tree（红毛丹树）, and pick a piece of fruit.Shopping in Kauai? Forget it —unless you are interested in shell necklaces and beautifully carved wood bowls. Kauai is not about pampering. It’s about going natural and finding the nature within you. It’s a do-it-yourself place that offers walking along the coast, driving and swimming in the Pacific Ocean, and lying on the beach.Don’t go to Kauai unless you have a lot of time, because there’s only one road, which can be slightly dull. It winds through the beautiful scenery of waterfalls, rivers flowing into the ocean, and taro（芋头）fields. You have no choice but to look at everything, because the speed limit is 35 m. p. h.If you’re not interested in color, don’t bother with Kauai, because that’s what you get —red roads, blue oceans, and a hundred different shades of green. It’s like diving on land. Many people in Kauai believe that this is Lemuria —a lost island in the Atlantic. Can you imagine? Those Hawaiians, surfers, New Agers, and people who love nature and beauty and want a different quality of life —what do they know, anyway? Forget about it —you’re not going to like it. Go somewhere else. Leave Kauai for us.8. After reading the text, we come to know that it is ________.A. a piece of shocking newsB. an exciting storyC. an angry complaint about a tourist attractionD. a moving advertisement9. It can be learned from the text that ________.A. Kauai is an island near the Hawaiian IslandsB. Kauai is another name of the Hawaiian IslandsC. Kauai is one of the Hawaiian IslandsD. Kauai doesn’t belong to the Hawaiian Islands10. Which of the following statements is false?A. Many more people will probably come to Kauai after reading the passage.B. You can practise in Kauai if you want to win a championship in surfing.C. The weather in Kauai is changeable.D. In Kauai there are top-class hotels where food is served upon request.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。

AFour Wild Animal Species Were EndangeredMaybe you can still see them at the zoo. But that doesn’t mean they’re doing alright in the wild. TigersAll six tiger species are endangered, with Sumatran tigers and South Chin tigers at a seriously endangered status. The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats(栖息地), as humans clear forests to gather timber （木材）and build roadways. Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild.Ground squirrelsThat’s right, even squirrels are endangered, specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human development going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown, but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 413000.GiraffesThe International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable(脆弱的) status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years, primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting. Some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in Africa.Asian elephantsThe main threat to Asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. As the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks. Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry. Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent. 21. What is the total population of tigers living in the wild? A. Around 3890. B. 50000. C. 124000. D. 413000.22．Which of the following is considered one of the most intelligent animals? A. Tigers. B. Giraffes.C. Ground squirrels.D. Asian elephants.23．What is the common threat to the four wild animals? A. Illegal hunting. B. Disturbed habitat. C. Developing tourism. D. Unnecessary construction.BDay in and day out. Rose, a neat, well-dressed, dark-haired young woman carries out her work at an office in a business park near Cambridge and spends hours studying pictures of children being abused. She watches the images again and again, looking for the tiniest details that might deliver a young victim from hell. They might be as small as the titles of books on a table, the action of making the bed or the images on the posters on the wall —anything that might provide a clue to the place where the child is suffering, and might finally lead the police to the abuser.How can Rose decide to do such work? And all that for a salary of less than $23,000 a year? She said her motivation in joining the work was to protect the public." When I first started this job, there was anger at the beginning. But when you see what the children have to endure, you know someone has to be there to protect them. If I can play a small part, I will help make a difference."The 33-year-old woman is enthusiastic about her job. Rose and her team have done what they could to put the children's life back together. They are very proud of what they have done.The nature of her work has changed her for the better. "I'm a lot more focused on the positive, much more relaxed about the world. I enjoy the good people around me," she says. Rose thinks that her job is a bit like giving blood. Maybe you don't like doing it, but someone has to. She regards it as her duty to help abused children. 24. What is Rose's job?A. Managing a big business park.B. Finding clues that help save abused children.C. Teaching and looking after abused children.D. Studying images on the posters on the walls.25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "endure" in Paragraph 2? A. Suffer. B. Change. C. Enjoy. D. Expect. 26. Rose and her team are satisfied with their job, because _________________. A. nobody in her country dare to abuse children B. children will live a happier life than ever beforeC. the number of children who are abused will be reducedD. parents in her country will know how to protect their children 27.

Rose makes a difference to the world... ..... ....................................................................................................................................................................................2 / 7s .. t .........................................................................................................................................................................................D. Rose’s life has been positively affected by her job.CThe world’s first “Sky Pool” has been uncoated, and it’ll give anyone a touch of dizzin ess, unless he or she is not bothered by heights.Situated in the capital’s new riverside district beside Battersea Power Station, the glass pool, hanging 10 storeys, or 110 feet up as a bridge between two apartment buildings, is 25m long, 5m wide and 3m deep with a water depth of 1. 2m. Swimmers will be able to look down 35 metres to the street below as they take a dip, with only 20cm of glass between them and the outside world. It’s even got a bar, folding chairs and an orange garden.The pool will be part of Embassy Gardens at Nine Elms, a huge billion building project beside the new American Embassy in south-west London. The project is creating thousands of apartments, the smallest of which are expected to cost nearly $ 1 million, and the pool will only be open to the apartments’ owners.Embassy Gardens takes design inspiration from the Meatpacking District of New York with floor to ceiling windows and brick frontages. The designer, Sean Mulryan, desired to push the boundaries in the capability of construction and engineering and do something that had never been done before. The Sky Pool’s transparent structure is the result of significant advancements in technologies over the last decade.The experience of the pool will be truly unique and it will feel like floating through the air in Central London.Those people lucky enough to swim there will have a faultless view of the Palace of Westminster and the London Eye. It will be a selling point for developers when the second stage of the development is released to market. 28. Who can swim in the Sky Pool? A. Anyone at Nine Elms. B. Visitors to London. C. People living in Embassy Gardens. D. Those who are not terrified of heights. 29. What can the swimmers enjoy according to the paragraph 2? A. Having fun surfing online. B. Drinking orange juice for free. C. Appreciating the views below. D. Experiencing diving and surfing. 30. What do we know about the pool from the text?A. It lies in the centre of London.B. It is 25 metres above the ground.C. It was similar to New York’s modern constructions.D. It is helpful for selling apartments in Embassy Gardens. 31．We can infer from the text that .A. the apartments of Embassy Garden are fairly expensiveB. the new American Embassy has been moved awayC. Nine Elms is a street in Embassy GardensD. building the pool is not a complex jobDAs free as they make us, mobile phones still need to stay close to a power source. Soon that may change with "green" power.Three Chilean students got the idea for a plant-powered device(装置) to charge their cellphones, while sitting in their school's outdoor courtyard during a break from exams, with dead mobile phones. Then, one of them had an "aha" moment.“It occurred to Camila to say about plants, "said inventor Evelyn Aravena. “‘Why don't you have a socket, if there are so many plants? ’After that, we thought, ‘why don't they have a charging outlet? Because there are so many plants and living things that have the potential to produce energy, why not?’”Their invention —a small biological circuit called E-Kaia —uses the energy plants to produce during photosynthesis(光合作用). A plant uses only a small part of that energy and the rest goes into the soil, and that's where the E-Kaia collects it. The device plugs into the ground and then into your phone."It's the most amazing project I've ever seen in my life, plain and simple. They brought this original model, and it worked — and that's when it all changed, at least from my personal point of view and I began to support them." said Mauricio Cifuentes.The device solved two problems for the engineering students — they needed an idea for a class project, and an outlet to plug in their phones."Looking for a place to charge the notebook, which had no power, and the mobile phones, we weren't able to find anything because all the other students were in the same state of madness trying to find a place to charge their devices," said Aravena.But plants are everywhere, and the bio －circuit makes the best of their excess(过多的) power. The E-Kaia doesn't carry much charge but it's powerful enough to completely recharge a mobile phone in less than two hours.The student inventors have applied for patents on their technology, and expect the E-Kaia to go on sale in December 2016.32. How could the students get the "green" power idea?A. By carrying out an experiment.B. Just from an occasional thought.C. With the support of their professors.D. Inspired by the information in a science book. 33. The device collects power by using _____________. A. photosynthesis B. a small biological circuit C. energy plants D. the electricity stored in the device 34. What can we learn from what Mauricio Cifuentes said? A. He intended to buy the patent. B. He invented the original device. C. He showed great interest in the device... ..... ....................................................................................................................................................................................3 / 7s .. t .........................................................................................................................................................................................D. He attempted to produce the device in large numbers. 35．What might be the best title for the passage? A. A New Device to Change the WorldB. Green Power - A New and Potential SourceC. Chilean Students Find A Green Way to Charge PhonesD. A New Device Invented by Chilean Students Will Be on Sale第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
高中英语必修第二册Unit 4 History and traditions 单元测试卷及参考答案
Book2Unit4 History and Traditions单元测试卷一、阅读，理解能力Up↑Up↑Up↑（每题2.5分，满分17.5分）【A】A good book is indeed the best friend of a person. The same goes for high profile CEOs of world recognized companies as well. Let’s have a look at the favorite books of some of t he world-famous CEOs.Apple CEO—Tim Cook，Competing against Time by George Stalk Jr. and Thomas M. Hout This book is based on 10 years of valuable research done by the authors. It talks about how new concepts of managing time in new product development, production and sales provide companies with the advantages to succeed in this highly competitive world.Microsoft CEO(Former)—Bill Gates The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. SalingerA few themes explored in the novel are rebellion(叛逆), anxiety and confusion. It tells that young people are a little confused, but can be smart about things and see things that adults don’t really see. Gates said, “I didn’t actually read The Catcher in the Rye until I was 13, and ever since then I’ve said that’s my favorite book.”Oracle CEO—Larry Ellison，Napoleon by Vincent CroninThis book is considered by far the best biography ever written on Napoleon Bonaparte. Ellison said, “It’s interesting to read about him for a couple of reasons：to see what an ordinary man can do with his life and to see how history can distort(歪曲)the truth entirely.”OWN CEO—Oprah Winfrey，To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper LeeThis book talks about how a little girl observes the people around her. Winfrey said, “I read it in eighth or ninth grade, and I was trying to recommend the book to other kids. So it makes sense to me that now I have a book club, because I have been doing that probably since I read this book.”1. What is the theme of Competing Against Time?A. How to increase productionB. How to improve efficiency.C. How to enrich experience.D. How to save energy.2. Which book may be chosen by parents to learn about rebellious kids?A. Competing against Time.B.

The book has an influence on her career.D. The book is about a girl’s thoughts.【B】Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.The Irish are famous for being warmhearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.4. What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1?A. How the Irish fought against the English.B. How Ireland gained independence.C. How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.D. How two “Irelands” came into being.5. We learn from the text that in Ireland ________.A. food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline in populationB. people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countrysideC. it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory workerD. different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments6. The last paragraph is mainly about ________.A. the Irish characterB. Irish cultureC. Irish musical instrumentsD. a famous Irish writer7. What can be the best title for the text?A. Life in IrelandB.

[A]The World Around UsChannel (频道): C8A study of the ancient Egyptian pyramids (⾦字塔) and the area around the River Nile in Egypt. The filming of this programme is a work of art as it is so thoughtfully done. As well as the obvious camels, there are also many other desert animals and plant life.Summer HolidaysChannel: M6Some of the best summer holidays are on offer this year. Tonight’s programme shows a weekend in Disneyland in Paris, cheap sailing holidays in the Mediterranean and a shopping and sightseeing trip to New York.The Creative MindChannel: C4One of the most popular programmes on TV at the moment, The Creative Mind has different artistic themes (主题) from exhibition reviews, information about major and smaller museums, and interviews with artists, writers, actors and musicians. Prepared for Special MomentsChannel: TF1The fun cookery programme that offers lots of exciting ideas from children’s birthday parties to that candlelit dinner for the boss and his wife. Easy to follow step by step instructions that show you how to make your dinner party a little bit special. Born to RunChannel: W9An interesting story of a young man with learning difficulties who overcame (克服) the problems in his life, through his great talent (天赋) for athletics. This is a true story of how one person made the most of his life and also helped many other people with similar problems.21. Which channel should you turn to if you are very interested in wildlife?A. C4.B. M6.C. C8.D. W9.22. Which programme is suitable for those who like watching TV interviews?A. The World Around Us.B. Summer Holidays.C. The Creative Mind.D. Prepared for Special Moments.23. Which of the following words can best describe the hero of Born to Run?A. Creative.B. Dishonest.C. Self-centered.D. Strong-minded.[B]Madeleine Hamilton’s school in Franklin, Tennessee, recently made a big decision: Recess (课间休息) would come back. Madeleine and her sixth-grade classmates would go outside for 20 minutes every day. They could catch up with friends and kick a soccer ball around. “Recess is the one break in the day to relax and have fun,” she says.Most middle school students don’t get that chance. That’s be cause most middle schools don’t have recess anymore. Experts say that about 40 percent of U.S. school districts have cut recess time.Now, more and more experts agree: Schools should put recess back on the schedule.Students have been heading outside for recess since at least the 1800s. But in the 1980s, some U.S. schools started to cut recess. Why? American students weren’t doing as well in school as students in other countries. To catch up, many schools in the U.S. cut recess. This made more time in the schedule for important subjects like science and math.But research shows that taking a break can actually help students learn. Your brain can get overwhelmed (应接不暇的) when you move from subject to subject without a break. That makes it harder for you to remember new information. Scientists say that resting your brain helps it work better.Even adults (成年⼈) have started taking breaks to rest their brains — and play. At Google, employees can stop working to use the office’s LEGO station. And workers at Faceboo k can play video games in the company’s arcade (游戏机厅).Recess doesn’t just help students learn. Moving around can also help keep kids healthy. People who exercise daily can avoid extreme sadness. They are also less likely to become overweight.Of course, kids can get hurt playing sports like dodgeball. Some schools have cut recess to avoid broken arms and legs. Schools also need adults to keep students safe on the playground during recess. Some schools can’t afford to pay anyone to do this job.And 73 percent of school-age kids in America play sports or do other athletic activities after school. Do they really need to take time out of busy school days for recess?24. How does Madeleine feel about her school’s big decision?A. Worried.B. Excited.C. Moved.D. Surprised.25. Why did many U.S. schools cut recess in the 1980s?A. To ensure students’ safety.B. To shorten students’ school days.C. To save time for students to study.D. To let students play sports after school.26. What’s the real purpose of the L EGO station at Google?A. To help workers relax.B. To keep workers strong.C. To provide new information for workers.D. To help workers learn how LEGO works.27. What does the underlined part “this job” refer to?A. Teaching students how to play sports like dodgeball.B. Protecting students from getting hurt during a break.C. Designing after-school athletic activities for students.D. Giving students medical care if they are hurt at school.[C]What do you usually do when a flying insect lands on your arm? Most likely you blow it away. But what if that bug were a ladybug (瓢⾍)? Then chances are you would let it stay. What is it about ladybugs that we like?Farmers once thought ladybugs were a good luck sign. A ladybug in the field meant that the crops (庄稼) would be successful and the weather would be good. The farmers may have been exaggerating (夸⼤) about what a very small bug can do, but in fact ladybugs do help out with the crops. They eat harmful insects.Actually, it is not the adult ladybug that eats t he other insects. It’s the ladybug larvae (幼⾍). Ladybugs lay their eggs on leaves that are covered with aphids or other insects. When the larvae come out of the eggs, they are very hungry and will eat mites, aphids, mealybugs, green flies, and other crop-destroyers.A single ladybug larva can eat over 1,000 aphids in one day. In the 1800s, ladybugs were brought all the way from Australia to California and set free among orange trees that were dying from being eaten by insects. The little red and black “eating machines” completely saved all the trees.Ladybugs go about their daily business without worrying much about anything. Very few birds or insects will eat a ladybug because it gives off something that isdangerous to eat. Ladybugs also protect themselves by playing dead. They fall off leaves and remain very still until their enemy goes away.So next time you see a ladybug, think about what it may be up to. Maybe it is off to save an orange tree. Maybe its next move will be to fall off a leaf and play dead or stand up to a bird about 100 times its size. Maybe it’s letting you know that the weather will be good tomorrow. Who knows? Ladybugs are special that way.28. What do we know about mites and aphids?A. They do harm to the crops.B. They eat more than they should.C. They are food for adult ladybugs.D. They are the enemy of ladybug larvae.29. Why were ladybugs brought from Australia to California in the 1800s?A. To report the weather for farmers.B. To increase their number.C. To do research on them.D. To save orange trees.30. What does the underlined part “stand up to” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Play with.B. Worry about.C. Get along with.D. Fight back against.31. What does the author think of the ladybug?A. It is a crop-destroyer.B. It is a good luck sign.C. It is a little flying helper.D. It is a big eating machine.[D]Each year, people are becoming more and more worried about the future of our planet. People are now starting to agree —global warming will certainly make a dif ference to the world’s weather. While some parts of the world may have morefloods (洪⽔), some other parts might have long periods of dry weather. All of this will have a serious influence on the world’s agriculture (农业). And that could make it difficult for us to get enough food to survive.This explains the idea behind the Svalbard Global Seed Vault (种⼦库). The Seed Vault is built into a mountain on an island near the North Pole. The purpose is to protect the world’s agriculture from future disasters. This may not just be a question of global warming. Perhaps there will be a major nuclear disaster or war one day. These things won’t be a problem for Svalbard.Some experts think that the population of the earth will probably go up by 50% in the next 40 years. Because of climate change, it probably won’t be easy for some plants to survive. Having many different types of plants will be necessary for agriculture to adapt to (适应) changes in the environment. In the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, there is space for 4.5 million types of seed. At the moment there are over 770,000 different types there.Any country in the world can leave seeds in Svalbard without paying. The seeds of some plants, such as peas, only survive for 20 to 30 years. But others will last for hundreds of years.In 2028, the Svalbard Vault will celebrate its 20th birthday. 200 years in the future, it’s possible that the ice caps will disappear. Even if this happens, Svalbard will be safe. That’s because it is on a mountain and will be above the sea level. And because it is so close to the North Pole, even if their electricity stops working, the ice will keep a cool temperature of -3.5℃ to keep the seeds in good condition. But the best protection is the fact that it is in such a faraway place. After all, maybe one day this will be the most important building in the whole world.32. What does the first paragraph mainly introduce?A. The role of agriculture.B. The reason for global warming.C. The future problems we’ll face.D. The planet where we’ll liv e in the future.33. What is the Seed Vault mainly used for?A. Storing plant seeds.B. Growing more plants.C. Discovering new plants.D. Providing humans with food.34. What do we know about the Seed Vault?A. It needs more space.B. It provides services for free.C. It is built above a mountain.D. It will close in 200 years.35. If there is an electrical problem at the Seed Vault, what will happen to the seeds?A. They will be sent away.B. They will still be safe.C. They will be of no use.D. They will be planted at once.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。

ADiscover Nature Schools ProgramsAll programs include outdoor time, so please help children prepare with proper clothing，sunscreen and insect repellent(驱虫剂) as needed.Each program is taught for a class with a minimum of 10 students and maximum of 125 students.To schedule a program, please email deprograms@.Acorn to Oak(K－2 grade, 1.5－2 hours)From seed to shade tree, the oak(橡树) changes through the seasons and the years.Through exploration, students will understand the life cycle of a tree. On a hike, students will explore various life stages of oak tree, taking a closer look. Creation of a tree relief sculpture using recycled wood products helps students review and understand their new knowledge.Outdoor Sensations(K－2 grade, 1.5－2 hours)The natural world is filled with sights, sound and smells. Students will see live animals and learn how wild animals rely on their senses to find food and survive. Spending time outside students will participate in various handson activities，focusing on each of their senses(not taste) to better experience the natural world.Winged Wonders(3－5 grade,3－4 hours)Birds add color and sound to our world and fill an important ecological role. Students will learn the basics of bird identification, understand the role birds play in food chains and go birdwatching using field guides and telescopes. Using hammer and nails, students will build a bird feeder，allowing them to attract birds at home.Exploring Your Watershed(6－8 grade, 3－4 hours)We all live in a watershed(流域) and depend on clean water. Examine how our actions shape the waterways around us.Interact with the Brush Creek Model and go on a hike to see firsthand some of the challenging water quality issues in an urban setting. Students will assess water quality using live fish to determine the health of an ecosystem.21．According to the text，students who participate in Acorn to Oak can . A．understand various uses of an oak treeB．learn about characters of various treesC．take a closer look at various treesD．know different life stages of an oak tree22．Which of the following programs helps students experience natural world through their different senses?A．Acorn to Oak.B．Exploring Your Watershed.C．Winged Wonders.D．Outdoor Sensations.23．In the program Winged Wonders, students will .A．learn how to build bird feedersB．know how to cook birds as foodC．have teachers as their field guidesD．stay there at most two hoursBThe moment I was born, I seemed to be part of a set, as if my twin brother David and I were a package deal. We faced constant comparisons in our physical appearance. People were always comparing our personalities and academic performances as well! These constant comparisons made me decide not to go to the same university as my twin brother.That is not to say we didn’t have good academic experiences in the past or didn’t get along. In eleventh grade, we were placed in the same math experimental class. I recall arriving early to the first class and being a bit disappointed when I saw David already seated at his desk. It is hard to avoid comparisons when we were in the same class. However, we found that we actually worked well together, in our own way. We would argue about the best way to solve a problem and debate its answer. As the year went on, I noticed that our teacher kept moving us closer and closer together. Our argument was actually productive.However, we were two very different candidates. I was very involved in extracurricular(课外的) activities, while David had better test scores than I did. I’m fond of writing while David enjoys playing computer games. I am currently studying English and French at McGill University, while David is studying computer science at Union College.Besides escaping comparisons, there have been other benefits to going to different universities. The first one is that we are forced to talk to each other, as we no longer see each other every day. This is healthier for our relationship. The second, also the more important one, is that after having so many similar experiences together we can have our own experiences separate from one another.Going to a different university has benefited me thus far. It allows for more personal growth, and I’m not attached to the label of being a twin.24．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Why Do People Like to Compare Me with My Twin Brother?B．Why Am I Choosing a Different University with My Twin Brother?C．What Are Some Main Benefits of Being Twin Brothers at School?D．How Can Twin Brothers Get Along Well with Each Other at School?25．What can be inferred about the author?A．He was fed up with people’s comparisons.B．He was glad to hear people’s comparisons.C．He is more handsome than David.D．He was better at academic subjects than David.26．What does the author think of him and David studying in the same math experimental class? A．Boring. B．Harmful.C．Awful. D．Beneficial.27．The author chose to go to a different university in order to .A．avoid seeing DavidB．escape arguing with DavidC．pursue a different experienceD．strengthen bonds with DavidCFor some parents, hitting a child who misbehaves is a common punishment. In fact, they may think that a physical type of punishment is good for children and will teach them to behave in the future.However, a leading group of child health specialists suggest that the opposite is true. These experts say that hitting is not only ineffective, but may even cause longterm harm to the child. The American Academy of Pediatrics recently changed its policy on physical punishment for a child. Released in October, the academy warns that hitting a child may have longterm effects. These effects include “aggression, brain changes, substance abuse and suicidal behavior in adulthood”. The report admits that not every child who is spanked will have these problems later in life. It makes this observation: “Although many children who were spanked become happy, healthy adults, current evidence suggests that hitting is not necessary and may result in longterm harm.”In recent years, many American experts have been advising parents against the use of physical punishment. Many other countries have already banned corporeal(肉体的) punishment. Sweden was the first nation to do so in 1966. Earlier studies have shown that corporeal punishment can alsoaffect a child’s ability to think and learn. In 2012, a Canadian study found that hitting children can cause longterm developmental damage and may even lower a child’s intelligence test scores. The American Academy of Pediatrics also warns against using strong verbal abuse or shame to discipline a child. These types of punishment can also cause longterm problems for a child. Instead, they suggest other types of punishment that are appropriate for the age of the child.For younger children, punishment could be taking away a favorite toy. For older children, a parent can limit the time the child spends watching television or playing with computers or electronic games.28．What can we know according to the experts?A．Spanking a child is not effective but harmful.B．Sweden was the first country to spank a child in 1996.C．The study from Canada found that spanking children can lower children’s grades.D．Many American experts found spanking a child can cause antisocial behavior.29．Which of the following best explains “discipline” underlined in Paragraph 3? A．Protect. B．Control.C．Persuade. D．Punish.30．What does the author intend to say in the last paragraph?A．We should take away younger children’s favorite toys as punishment.B．As for older children，we need to allow them to watch TV or play games.C．Different children should be given different ways to punish.D．It may be ineffective for younger or older children to have punishment.31．What is the text mainly about?A．A physical type of punishment.B．The results of punishment.C．Different countries have different types of punishment.D．How to punish the mischievous children.答案ADCAD“Small enough to fit in your hands but too dangerous to hold” is a good description of the hedgehog.Though small，it is able to protect itself from attack or harm.Thousands of stiff，sharp spines cover the animal’s back and sides.Even though spines provide the hedgehog with effective protection，the animal’s most striking characteristic is its practice of curling up into a tight ball，with its spines sticking out in all directions.The hedgehog curls up if disturbed or frightened—only the strongest animals can open it.It also sleeps in this position，so it is rarely caught unprotected.Hedgehogs can live in a wide range of climates and lands in East Africa.They must have dry shelters on welldrained soil and a good supply of insects.Nairobi，the capital of Kenya in East Africa，meets these habitat conditions，where hedgehogs are reported to be abundant.A hedgehog uses a small home range with an approximate 120yard radius(半径范围) from its nest.The hedgehog makes loud noises if its range is invaded by another animal.The hedgehog wakes up at dusk and begins its activities alone.It uses regular pathways，walking along on its short legs searching for food.A hedgehog will eat about onethird of its body weight in one night.Its favorite foods are insects，earthworms and snails，making it a welcome guest in many gardens—it is even kept as a pet.It is also known to eat eggs，small mammals，birds，frogs，reptiles，and roots.Although not completely immune to poison，hedgehogs have enough resistance to allow them to eat poisonous snakes.32．While facing danger，the hedgehog .A．stands straight upB．makes loud noisesC．goes back to its nestD．uses its spines for protection33．The second paragraph is mainly about hedgehogs’.A．appearance B．habitatC．diet D．hunting skills34．According to Paragraph 3，the hedgehog is .A．active at nightB．afraid of snakesC．keeping away from gardensD．totally immune to poisons35．It can be inferred from the text that .A．there is a lot of rain in NairobiB．hedgehogs are cooperative animalsC．hedgehogs always stay on guard against dangerD．there is an increasing trend towards keeping pet hedgehogs答案DBAC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。
人教版高中英语必修二Unit 4 单元测试题1(含答案)
Unit 4 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。
AAt the age of 95, Olga Kotelko attracted great attention at the World Masters Athletics Championships. This 5ft-tall Canadian became the oldest recorded woman indoor runner, high jumper and long jumper at the competition.Olga now has more than 30 world records to her name and has won more than 750 gold medals. But she sees herself as nothing special, describing herself as just a plain Jane. As one of 11 children brought up on a farm, she has always been active, milking cows and doing other housework.She has now outlived all her brothers and sisters and most of her friends but when asked what her secret is, she says there isn’t one. “I think your age is just a number. It’s not your birthday; it’s how you age that makes the difference. It’s your attitude to all the things that happen in your life that plays the biggest part.”So can we all turn ourselves into nonagenarian (九十多岁的) superheroes? Research from Newcastle University suggests that as every 24 hours pass, we add an extra five hours to our lives — that’s over 2 months each year — partly because of improving living conditions andmedical development. And in the UK the number of people who are living into their 100th year has nearly increased by four times since the 1980s. So ageing is not a terrible thing.While Olga’s genes (基因) might help her, we’re not all prisoners to our own. After all, 75% of our later lives could be down to the lifestyle we choose to lead. A good diet (饮食) and regular exercise are key. Besides, developing friendships in mid-life also works. Dr Holland, director of Aston University’s research centre for healthy ageing, says: “The more friends you have when you’re 50-60 years old, the less likely you’re to be lonely in later life; the less lonely you are, the less likely you’re to be ill as the years go by.”21. Olga Kotelko was well-known at the World Masters Athletics Championships because _____.A. she was the oldest sportswoman thereB. she competed in several eventsC. she set a new world recordD. she won a gold there22. What did Olga Kotelko mean by describing herself as a plain Jane?A. She was hard-working.B. She was once named Jane.C. She was very active.D. She was very common.23. Olga Kotelko’s words suggest that _____.A. we shouldn’t count our age up like numbersB. we shouldn’t celebrate our birthday as we get oldC. we should try to have a positive attitude towards lifeD. we should learn to change according to what happens24. We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.A. how long we live doesn’t completely depend on genesB. Olga Kotelko succeeded because of her good genesC. it’s hard for the middle-aged to make friendsD. it’s unavoidable for people to get oldBGeorge Watford works at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in New York City. He gets some unusual phone calls. One day, he got a call about a mountain lion living in a small building. “We didn’t believe it,”Watford said. “But when we went out there, sure enough, there was a mountain lion sitting at the front window looking out at us.”The big cat’s owner knew that his neighbors were unhappy about the animal. He didn’t try to stop us taking it away.In one year, the ASPCA took in 9,459 different animals, not counting cats and dogs. That number includes a lot of rabbits and monkeys, but the ASPCA has also taken many other exotic (外来的) pets from people’s homes. These animals can’t be set free into the wild because they wouldn’t survive. The ASPCA tries to find homes for them in zoos or special areas for animals.It’s against the law to sell wild animals in New York City. Many buildings don’t even allow dogs and cats, not to mention more exotic animals. Still, the ASPCA takes away most of the exotic animals not because of complaints (怨言), but because the pet’s owner needs help. A lovely baby lion or bear will finally grow up to be dangerous. “When they bite(咬人), it isn’t because they hate you. It’s because they’re wild animals,”said exotic animal expert Kathi Travers.Travers is quick to give speeches against raising wild animals as pets. Too often people think that caring for a wild animal is the same as caring for a dog or a cat. “To love an animal is not enough,”Travers said. “There has to be respect (尊重), and respect is not taking an animal, sticking it in a little cage, and expecting the animal to be happy.”25.

Flies always seem to know where you’re coming from — and how to get away.“Flies are very good at what they do,” says Michael Dickinson, a professor of biology at the University of Washington. To study the insects in action, Dickinson used a machine to run flies to a tube, where a plate was ready to catch the flies from different directions — front, side, and back — while a high-speed camera filmed the insects’ reactions (反应) to the unpleasant hit.After running hundreds of flies through his machine, Dickinson discovered something interesting. Within 300 milliseconds of a possiblehit, the flies were well prepared. If the hit was right in front of its head, the fly would shift (挪动) its middle pair of legs forward —moving it backward and away from danger. When the hit came from the back, the fly would shift its middle legs backward to jump forward. Flies may eat dog droppings, but these insects are also beautiful dancers.Dickinson’s interest in housefly hitting goes beyond keeping his office fly-free. His research is helping others build smart micro-robots that can copy the flies’flight patterns (模式). The military (军队), too, is interested in Dickinson’s work. It hopes to use findings like his to build planes with better reaction times, which could keep soldiers out of harm’s way.As for Dickinson, it should be noted that he doesn’t hate flies. In fact, he goes out of his way to avoid killing them: “I get a little angry when someone brushes a fly away, since I’m usually looking at it, watching it clean itself and move its little head.”31. What did Michael Dickinson find about flies?A. They react very quickly.B. They have powerful legs.C. They are good at dancing.D. They have a sense of direction.32. Michael Dickinson came to his conclusions _____.A. by exampleB. by experimentC. by comparisonD. by explanation33. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that _____.A. flies may be used in other fields in the futureB. flies provide inspiration for humansC. flies remain a danger to planesD. flies help robots improve34. What does Michael Dickinson think of flies?A. Dirty.B. Beautiful.C. Unpleasant.D. Interesting.35. What’s the best title for the text?A. A strange insectB. A day in the life of a flyC. To catch a flyD. To avoid a fly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。

This means a hostess may not seata small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If youare sitting at a table with people you don't know, it is impolite to light up acigarette without asking if it will disturb them.At American restaurants and coffeeshops you are usually served tap water before you order.

C．People don't need to pay tips.D．The price of the meal usually includes the tip.3．阅读理解If you want to learn a language andbecome fluent in it, you really need to start as early in life as possible, becausethe older you get, the harder it can be to get your tongue round new words andsounds. However, that is not a reason to put off learning a language later inlife, because there are still many advantages to it.As you get older, it can become moreand more tempting to stick to things you are most familiar with. However, givingyourself something new to do can help to keep your brain active, and the moreactive your brain is, the younger you will feel.We all need new challenges every nowand again. It makes life interesting. Don't set your expectations too high—youaren't going to become fluent in a couple of months, for example.Instead, setyourself short-term goals—to finish a text-book or to practice your skills on alanguage speaker. The challenge will provide you with a renewed energy forlife.Many people, especially when they areolder, put off going overseas because they are worried about communicating withthe local people. However, once you start to learn a language, you will havemuch more confidence to travel in countries where the language is spoken. Onceyou are able to buy things, ask directions and have free conversations, youwill find traveling much more enjoyable.One of the best reasons for learning alanguage later in life is simply because you can. When younger, you probablyhad little spare time. Now, you probably have more time in hand because yourfamily has grown up and you may even have retired. There are somany tools youcan use to learn languages these days (the television and Internet are twoobvious ones), so you may not even have to pay.（1）It is commonly believed that when a person is old, ________.

That's what most people in China felt like this summer. Infact, the entire northern hemisphere (半球) saw high temperatures in July. The Arctic Circle (北极圈) wasno exception (例外). Temperatures in the city of Norilsk,which is in the Arctic Circle, reached a record high of 32℃, The Atlanticreported. Temperatures there are usually just 10℃at this time of the year.The heat wave in the Arctic is mainly along-term result of global warming, according to the Chinese Academy ofMeteorological Sciences. In fact, while the whole world is getting warmer, theArctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. This is called thepolar amplification effect (极地放大效应).The most direct impact (影响) of Arctic warming is the melting of Arctic ice. According to NASA,Arctic sea ice is now disappearing at a rate of 13.2 percent every 10 years. NASAsaid that if this continues, the Arctic will have no ice by the year 2040. Thishas put some Arctic animals, like polar bears, in danger. The ice that thebears live on has shrunk (缩小), the Toronto Starreported.Melting ice can also cause sea levelsto rise in the long term. Since 1993, sea levels have risen at a rate of 3.2 cmevery 10 years, the Guardian reported. Some countries, such as Tuvalu (图瓦卢) in the South Pacific Ocean and Maldives (马尔代夫) in the Indian Ocean, are at risk of disappearing into the sea.（1）Which of the following is trueA．Some countries in the ocean will disappear in 10 years.

(人教版最新)高中英语必修第二册 Unit 4单元测试02-答案
Unit 4单元测试答案解析第一部分第一节A【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Cassandra寄错了婚礼邀请信却意外地收到了回复和祝福。
1.【答案】D【解析】主旨大意题。
通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了Cassandra因为心情很糟而寄错了婚礼邀请信，却意外地收到了回复和祝福，所以文章标题一定要体现出“寄错的”和“礼邀请信”，因此D项作标题最能概括出文章内容。
2.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。
根据第三段首句Cassandra was at a professional crossroads and had been having a tough day.可知，Cassandra正处于职业生涯的十字路口，这一天过得很艰难，由此可知，Cassandra寄错婚礼邀请信是因为心情很糟。
3.【答案】A【解析】词义猜测题。
上文说Cassandra因为心情很糟而寄错了婚礼邀请信，对方并不认识她，回信自然是没有署名，再结合最后一段中的“Kind Stranger”可知，这封回信是匿名的，由此可知画线词词义为“匿名的”。
4.【答案】C【解析】推理判断题。
根据最后一段第四句She wrote her aunt and uncle’s incorrect address on the envelope again to “Kind Stranger”.可知，Cassandra又把姨妈和姨父的错误地址写在信封上给那个好心的陌生人寄去，由此可知，第二封信是故意写错地址的。
B【语篇解读】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了英国一些城市名称的含义及由来。
5.【答案】C推理判断题。
【解析】由第五段最后一句Place names that end in “-ford” (a place where y ou could cross a river) also describe the location of Anglo-Saxon villages.可知以-ford结尾的名字是和河流有关的。
