He attended Washington High School but because of an unimportant detail he did not receive his diploma until 1962, long after he had received his Bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Oregon State College in 1922. He had chosen to study this major because he could get a good job with it.He won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1954 “for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application to the explanation of the structure of complex substances”. His interest in the “behavior”of molecules (分子) led him from physical chemistry to biological chemistry, especially of the human body. He began with proteins and their main parts, the amino acids (氨基酸), which are called the “building blocks of life”. In 1950, he constructed the first satisfactory model of a protein molecule, a discovery very important to the understanding of the living cell.During World War II, Pauling was a member of the Research Board for National Security, for which he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Merit in 1948. However, the use of the atomicbomb near the end of the war turned Pauling in a new direction. Having long worked on the structure of molecules, he took an immediate interest in the deadly effects of nuclear fallout on human molecular structures.From then on, Pauling protested the production of the hydrogen bomb and supported the prevention of the spread of nuclear weapons. Through his efforts, ＴｈｅＮｕｃｌｅａｒ－Ｔｅｓｔ－ＢａｎＴｒｅａｔｙ, declaring all nuclear tests to be illegal except underground ones, came into effect on October 10, 1963, the same day Linus Pauling was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace.56. From the first paragraph, we learn that Linus Pauling ______________.A. didn't study hard while in Washington High SchoolB. is the only scientist who has won two Nobel PrizesC. was once badly treated in Washington High SchoolD. chose to study chemical engineering to earn his living57. Which of the following things did Pauling pay much attention to at first?A. The “behavior”of molecules.B. Physical chemistry.C. Biological chemistry.D. The human body.58. During World War II, Linus Pauling ___________.A. had to stop his research because of the warB. made great contributions to the safety of the countryC. joined the army to fight for the safety of the countryD. took part in researching nuclear bombs59. Which of the following is legal according to ＴｈｅＮｕｃｌｅａｒ－Ｔｅｓｔ－ＢａｎＴｒｅａｔｙ?A. The use of nuclear weapons.B. Testing hydrogen bomb on the ground.C. Testing nuclear weapons underground.D. The production of hydrogen bombs.ＢThere is no best way to learn a language, just different ways that suit different people. Some people prefer to “pick up”the language by reading books or magazines, watching films, visiting the country where the target language is spoken, etc. They focus on the meanings of words and don't worry too much about the language forms used. This method often suits children if they find themselves in a foreign country or with foreign friends. However, this approach doesn't suit everyone if your aim is to become good at writing.Probably the most common way to learn a language is in a classroom with a teacher. The teacher can explain difficult words, give guidance, provide extra motivation and feedback on progress. Unfortunately, some people do not have very pleasant experiences of learning a language in the classroom. Language learning can be great fun. But your writing level will be increased most efficiently this way. Besides learning in a classroom, you can use a personal tutor and arrange a very flexible system of tuition. That means if you are busy at a particular time, you can still arrange to have your language tuition at a time that suits you.With recent improvements in modern technology, it is now possible to purchase a wide range of multi-media materials for learning a language. You can teach yourself using cassettes, videos, CD- ROMs, books, and any combination of these. This approach is best suited to students who are self-disciplined and well-organized. It also tends to assist with the development of reading and listening skills. But be sure to pick out materials of high quality. If you want to become fluent at speaking and writing a language, you'll also benefit from cooperating with other users.60. The method mentioned in the first paragraph can be considered _______.A. passive learningB. natural and active learningC. the most effective learning methodD. a st ructured learning method61. The underlined word “flexible”in the second paragraph means “________”.A. strictB. pleasantC. safeD. free62. From the passage, we can NOT learn that ________. A. people need to care about grammar when speaking a languageB. classroom studying can be boring sometimesC. not all learning materials can help improve our language levelD. students lacking self-control may not benefit much from self-study63. What might be talked about in the next passage?A. How to find a personal tutor.B. How to deal with the difficulties in study.C. How to cooperate with other language learners.D. How to find the best studying method.ＣA new effort is being launched to better educate parents about the earliest signs of autism (孤独症). Doctors at Maryland's Kennedy Krieger Institute, one of the country's leading autism centers, say they can now identify symptoms in children at a younger age than before.Children with autism withdraw into their own private worlds. Most children are not diagnosed until they are 3 to 5 years old, but the signs can appear as early as 6 months. “Most people use the rule of thumb that if a child is showing developmental delays before the age of 3, they'll catch up, but children with autism usually can't,”said researcher Rebecca Landa.Researchers at the institute are showing in a video just what symptoms to look for, even in an infant. In about 30 percent of autism cases, researchers are now documenting what they call “regressive（倒退的）autism”. One boy documented by the Kennedy Krieger Institute was engaged and smiling at his mother at 6 months. When he reached one year, he appeared a little shy, but again, there was no reason for concern. But at the age of 2, he was totally attached to his toys and the signs in him have become more obvious. “Although causes of autism remain unknown, now you can really see autism in its full form,”Landa said.Chloe was diagnosed with autism at 2, when she could not interact with the children around her, and she hated to be touched. But after four months of intensive treatment, her behavior improved significantly.“She is talking now,”Landa said. “She looks to the teacher and shares enjoyment. Shelooks to others to know what she should be doing.”Chloe will still require many more years of treatment, but these early gains do last.64. Which of the following is NOT a symptom of a child suffering from autism?A. Not speaking to people around him.B. Not making eye contact with others.C. Acting aggressively to people around them.D. Fixing all his attention on the objects.65. What do the underlined words “these early gains”in the last paragraph probably refer to?A. Many years of treatment.B. Researches carried out by Landa.C. The early recognition of signs of autism.D. The cases Landa provided.66. From the passage, we can learn that __________.A. early signs of autism are often unnoticed or ignoredB. more and more children are suffering from autismC. autism can be completely cured if early symptoms are noticedD. children usually develop autism at the age of three67. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Early Symptoms of Autism in Children.B. Parents Should Look for Early Signs of Autism.C. New Effective Way to Treat Autism.D. Researchers Identify New Symptoms of Autism.ＤCome and discover the little big city in Switzerland. It's worth it to see the nicest sights. In fact, no matter what your idea of fun is, you'll find it in Zurich.If it is your first stay in this city, you should start in the heart of Zurich, the historical romantic old part of town. The narrow alleyways lace the picturesque houses and only pedestrians (步行者) are allowed. Here, you'll have a wonderful time drinking and eating in a charming bistro where you can sit outside and enjoy the sun. While you're enjoying the traditional Swiss food, you'll catch the fascinating atmosphere and be able to observe the different people who walk by.If you like, you can climb aboard a lake cruiser for a 3-hour tour around the lake or just walk up to the border of the lake and feed the proud swans and cute ducks, which is the cheapest way to enjoy it. You will be abso lutely amazed at the nice view over the lake of the high Alps covered with snow. For more fun, you can explore the lake with colorful paddle boats.Be sure to visit the beautiful mountain called House Mountain, which can give you the most unforgettable overview of Zurich. You can take a ride on the railway built in 1923 to the top where you can breathe the fresh mountain air. From the lookout tower, you'll have a picturesque view of the lake, the city and the amazing Alps.Last, don't miss walking down the most famous shopping street, the Bahnhofstrasse, a distance of 1.4 kilometers. On both sides, you'll find everything you need and of course, you'll find the well-known Swiss banks.Come to see us. You'll have an unforgettable stay in this little big city. You won't regret it. 68. You may not have the chance of ________ if you go to Switzerland.A. going shopping on a famous shopping streetB. visiting the beautiful lake and mountainC. visiting the romantic old part of a townD. making some traditional Swiss food in person69. How can you enjoy the view of the lake if you don't have much money?A. By taking a lake cruiser.B. By climbing the snow-covered Alps.C. By taking an old railway train.D. By walking to the lake and feeding birds there.70. Where can you get the best overview of the city of Zurich?A. On the top of House Mountain.B. On the narrow alleyways.C. In the center of the town.D. Over the lake.71. The purpose of writing this passage is to _________. A. introduce some interesting places of ZurichB. encourage people to come to Zurich to have a visitC. let people know more about the history of ZurichD. tell people how to get fun when visiting ZurichＥPlease excuse me if I'm a little sad today. Mark is leaving, and I'm feeling kind of sad.You probably don't know Mark. He's been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years, combining great professional skills with a sweet nature. And now he's moving on to an exciting new professional opportunity. We're genuinely (真诚地) pleased about it. But that doesn't make it easier to say goodbye.Life has a way of throwing these curve balls at us. Just when we start to get comfortable with a person, a place or a situation, something c omes along to change the recipe. Our ability to cope with change and disturbance determines, to a great degree, our peace, happiness and contentment in life.But how do we do that? My friend Chris once told me that the answer can be summed up in four words “Go with the flow”. “It's like surfing,”Chris explained. “You can't organize the ocean. Waves just happen. You ride them where they take you, then you paddle back out there and catch the next one. Mostly you just take them the way they come.”I'm not exactly sure, but I think Chris was saying that life is a series of events —both good and bad. There will always be life-influencing factors you can't control. When things come up, which aren't exactly in your plan, work them out and then move on to be truly successful. Of course, a rained-out picnic is easier to deal with than the sudden death of a loved one. But the principle is the same.We'll miss Mark, but let's focus on hopes for a brighter future. And then we'll go out and do everything we can to make that future happen.72. What is the probable relationship between the writer and Mark?A. Mother and son.B. Wife and Husband.C. Colleagues.D. Sister and brother.73. Which of the following is NOT an example of a curve ball in life?A. A wonderful neighbor moves away.B. The family's main bread-winner is out of work.C. A child in the family leaves for college.D. A person succeeds after many years of hard work.74. By comparing a rained-out picnic with a sudden death of a loved one, the writer wants to show __________.A. many changes could happen in our daily lifeB. some changes in life are easier to take than othersC. the sudden death of a loved person will destroy our lifeD. only what influences us greatly should be treated seriously75. According to the passage, truly successful people are those who _______.A. can predict what will happen in the futureB. are not interested in what is happening around themC. can make adjustments when the unexpected thing happensD. reach a higher position with the aid of a higher powerIV 写作第一节短文改错I never used to enjoying science, but last term, I changed 76. _______the school, and the science teachers at my new school were great. 77. _______The laboratories have the latest equipment. Our physical teacher, 78. _______Mr Smith, takes us to public science lecture twice a month, and 79. _______these are always much interesting.

单元检测卷：Unit 1第一部分：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）AWhen Julie Jones and Caroline Atkin were schoolgirls, they promised to be best friends for ever. Years later, Caroline died from a brain tumor at the age of 45, leaving five children. In her last weeks, she asked Julie to raise the children as her own. Julie, a single mother of three with a small income, didn‟t hesitate.“I held her in my arms and said …You‟ll be OK‟, but I knew I was losing her.” She says.“The hospital rang me and I rushed there, but Caroline had just gone,” she says. “I went to her house. The children arrived home from school in a taxi and I gathered them in my arms and said: …Mommy has gone to Heaven.‟”“Michael, who was 11, left the room. Kieran, ten, sat in gre at surprise; James, nine, broke down; while Emma, seven, and Chantelle, five uneasy. I brought them home.”Julie, mother of Adam, 20, Peter, 19, and 14-year-old Christian, moved the table from her dining room to turn it into an extra bedroom for the girls.She says “I put a tent up in the garden, and the children took turns to camp outside. We turned into a game. The children were terribly hurt by losing both their parents. But now, despite our lack of space and money, we have become one happy fam ily.” The table in the kitchen is so small that Julie had to cook Christmas dinner in two sittings. Her eldest son has left for university and his bedroom is used by the younger boys.Julie had to work 50 hours a week and runs the home on her salary.“The children aren‟t quiet anymore. The house is filled with screams and shouts and laughter.” she says. “They say …Julie, you make us so happy,‟ but the truth is that they‟re the ones who make me happy. I‟m not extraordinary. I‟m just a mum.”1. What can we know about Julie from the text?A. She had lived a rich life before the adoption.B. She promised to adopt Caroline‟s children as a schoolgirl.C. She blamed Caroline‟s husband for taking no responsibility.D. She had to work very hard to support the large family.2. Which one is NOT what Julie did to support the large family?A. Using the dining room as a bedroom.B. Putting a tent up in the garden.C. Persuading her eldest son to leave for university.D. Cooking Christmas dinner in two sittings.3. From the last paragraph, we can know that Julie is _______ .A. annoyedB. tiredC. modestD. energetic4. What would be the best title for the text?A. A mother to five orphansB. Five lucky childrenC. Caroline‟s deathD. Troubles of raising childrenBChristopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness and even death. And if that weren‟t bad enough, he had no health insurance.After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he‟d better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created diabeticrockstar. com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1100 people share personal stories, information and resources.Jason Swencki‟s son, Kody, was diagnosed with diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children‟s forums (论坛) together most evenings. “Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over,” says Swencki, one of the site‟s volunteers. “They know what he‟s going through, so he doesn‟t feel lonely.”Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages. These days, Thomas‟s main focus is his charity (慈善机构)，Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people —225 to date—who can‟t afford a diabetic‟s huge expenses. Fight-it. org has raised $23,000 —in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables. “Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure,” says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar‟s original members. “But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now.”5. Which of the following is TRUE of Christopher Thomas?A He needs to go to the doctor every dayB He studies the leading cause of diabetes.C He has a positive attitude to his disease.D He encourages diabetics by writing articles.6. Diabeticrockstar. com was created for ________.A diabetics to communicateB volunteers to find jobsC children to amuse themselvesD rock stars to share resources7. What can we learn about Fight It?A It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties.B It organizes parties for volunteers once a year.C It offers less expensive medicines to diabetics.D It owns a well-known medical website.CHappy birthday! Do birthdays really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthdays celebrate the day we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity—or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we‟re getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? That‟s a different story.Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You‟re as young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.Many older Ameri cans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “seniorcitizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at age 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination (歧视). In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudely—even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living together. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles (皱纹) are “in”. Marketing experts are already noticing this group of consumers (消费者).8. The main idea of the third paragraph is________.A. the golden years can make the old earn lots of moneyB. many old people in America are leading a hard lifeC. the old in America have to retire at the age of 65D. American social security benefits are not good9. From the last paragraph we know that the underlined word “in” can be repla ced by________.A. seriousB. badC. disappearing slowlyD. growing fast10. From this passage we can know________.A. in America, growing up is not a wonderful processB. in America, growing up is as wonderful a process as growing oldC. in America, growing up is a wonderful process, while growing old is notD. in America, growing old is a wonderful process, while growing up is not11. What should be mentioned in the following paragraph?A. The public will change their attitude towards old people.B. People will provide more services to the old in their communities.C. Companies will soon produce more goods for old Americans.D. The government will pass laws to ensure the benefits of the people.DTo many web-building spiders, most of whom are nearly blind, the web istheir essential window on the world: their means of communicating, capturing prey (猎物), meeting mates and protecting themselves. A web-building spider without its web is like a man cast away on an island of solid rock, totally out of touch and destined to starve to death.So important is the web to an orb-web spider‟s survival that the animal will continue to construct new webs daily even if it is being starved. For 16 days the starving spider builds completely normal webs. Then, as the animal gets scrawnier (憔悴的), it constructs a wider-meshed web using fewer strands (线). Such webs would only trap larger prey, which is more economical from the perspective of a starving spider.The spider stores energy by recycling web protein. It simply eats its own web each evening and re-uses it to produce new silk. In studies with radioactively labeled materials, it was found that 95 percent of web protein reappears in the next day‟s web. Most of the energy needed for web-building is used in walking over the strands as they are laid down.Scientists are impressed by the adaptability（适应能力）of the spider‟s highly preprogrammed brain, which is larger for its size than the brain of any other invertebrate (无脊椎动物). If web-building is interrupted, or if some of the existing strands are destroyed, the spider simply goes back to see where the web is left off and then finished building a normal web. One spider will even finish building the incomplete web of another.12. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Secrets of Spiders‟ AdaptabilityB. Importance of Webs to SpidersC. Secrets of the Spiders‟ LifeD. Spiders‟ Highly Preprogrammed Brain13. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Web-building spiders have good eyesight.B. One web-building spider usually conducts one web.C. Most spiders will stop conducting webs when hungry.D. Web-building spiders will probably die without their webs.14. A spider conducts a wider-meshed web when _______.A. it is 16 days oldB. it is getting weakerC. it has fewer strandsD. it hunts for food15. A spider‟s ability to finish an incomplete web proves that _______.A. it has a highly preprogrammed brainB. it reuses its web protein to reproduce new silkC. the web is everything for a spiderD. it is able to rebuild a destroyed web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。

考试时间100分钟。
第Ⅰ卷Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
AMy senior year of high school was a very hectic one, to say the least. If I wasn´t studying or worrying about my grades, I was working on after-class activities. It seemed as if my life had turned into one crazy cloud of confusion and I hoped to find some sort of direction.Finally, I got a part-time job at the local coffee shop. I had thought it would be easy and, for the most part, stress-free. I pictured myself pouring coffee and becoming close friends with my customers.What I hadn´t expected were the people with so many orders. There were moments when I was very angry simply because I couldn´t seem to please anyone. There was always too much sugar, too little ice, or not enough skim milk. However, I kept at it.One day, one of my customers came in, depressed. Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee. He looked at me questioningly because he hadn´t ordered anything but the coffee. He opened the bag and saw his favourite doughnut (甜甜圈) I had given him. He smiled and thanked me before heading out into the rain.The next evening, he came. Instead of ordering something, he handed me a single pink rose and a note.“Thanks for being so sweet and thoughtful yesterday. It is so nice to meet someone who´s warm and unselfish. Please don´t change your ways because I truly believe that you will do better. Have a great day!”As time went on, I did come across some customers really particular. But anytime I felt depressed, I thought of that man and his kindness. Then I would smile, hold my head up high, clear my throat and ask politely, “How can I help you?”1.What does the underlined word “hectic” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Glad.B. Interesting.C. Productive.D. Busy.2.What can we know about the author´s part-time job?A. It is easy and stress-free.B. It is quite busy and challenging.C . It doesn´t need special skills. D. It gives the author a feeling of freshness.3.What´s the message the author wants to convey?A. Kind words are worth much but cost little.B. It is impossible to satisfy everyone in our life.C. A small act of kindness can make a big difference.D. Our attitude determines our suffering or our freedom.BAn idea that started in Seattle´s public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The idea is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit(爱好) to be enjoyed by all, theprogramme allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起)the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998. Her original programme used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book, One Chicago” programme. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and characters.The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致)can be achieved.Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.As Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.4.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A.To invite authors to guide readers.B.To encourage people to read and share.C.To involve people in community services.D.To promote the friendship betweencities.5.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A.They had little interest in reading.B.They were too busy to read a book.C.They came from many different backgrounds.D.They lacked support from the local government.6.The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean .A.exchanged ideas with each otherB.discussed the meaning of a wordC.gained life experienceed the same languageCScientific experiments can sometimes go wrong and when they do, the results may range from the disastrous (灾难性的) to the troubling. One such experiment took place in South America about fifty years ago. Whether its final consequences will cause serious damage or nothing more than a small trouble still remains to be seen.The story began in 1956 when an American scientist working in Brazil decided to solve the problem of increasing the productivity of that country´s bees. He imported a very active type of African bee from Tanzania and mated (交配) it with the more easy-going native variety to produce a new kind of bees. The new bees worked harder and produced twice as much honey. It seemed that Professor Kerr, which was the scientist´s name, had a total success on his hands.Then things began to go wrong. For some reason as yet unseen, but perhaps as a result of something in their environment, the new bees began to develop extremely attacking personalities. They became bad-tempered and easy to be angry. They attacked the native bees and drove them from their living places.But worse was to follow. Having taken over the countryside, the new bees, with their dangerous stings (刺), began to attack their neighbours—cats, dogs, horses, chickens and finally man himself. A long period of terror began that has so far killed a great number of animals and about 150 human beings.This would have been bad enough if the bees had stayed in Brazil. But now they are on the move, heading northwards in countless millions towards Central and North America, and moving at the alarming speed of 200 miles a year. The countries that lie in their path are naturally worried because it looks as if nothing can be done to stop them.7. The results of the South American experiment .A.are not importantB.are not yet certainC.have caused a serious troubleD.have proved to be wrong8. The experiment mentioned in this passage was designed to .A.make African bees less activeB.increase the number of bees in BrazilC.make Brazilian bees more easy-goingD.increase the amount of honey in Brazil9. Which of the following may be the cause of the new bees´ attacking personalities?A.Their bad temper.B.Their hard work.C.Their production of honey.D.Their living environment.10. The last paragraph implies that .A.the bees prefer to live in BrazilB.the bees must be stopped from moving northC.the bees may bring about trouble in more countriesD.the bees have been driven to Central and North America第二节阅读七选五(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。

AIt’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over.Some kids feel nervous or a little scared(害怕的)on the first day of school because of all the new things:new teachers,new friends,and even a new school.Luckily,these “new” worries only stick around for a little while.Let’s find out more about going to a new school.Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year.Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class,too.When teachers do the talking on the first day,they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not.Please pay close attention.You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day,but it’s a great day to make new friends,so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t.Make the first move and you’ll be glad,and so will your new friends!Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can make the first day a good one.You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like.Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations,or a pair of sneakers(运动鞋).It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need,such aspencils,folders,and whatever else you’ll be needing.But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.1The underlined phrase “kick off ” in the second paragraph probably means“”.A.startB.studyC.findD.teach答案:A解析:第二段叙述在新生开学时教师向学生进行自我介绍及说明学生在这一年所需做的事情等,据此可推知答案为A项。

Even students who are usually not very rich, have to learn something about making purchases (购卖) intelligently (聪明地). If you are considering a major purchase, or any purchase, you should remember several important things.Study first, and then decide what to buy. You can learn a lot just by reading books and advertisements.Remember that a high quality product will probably last longer and work better, so you’d better pay more attention to the quality of the product. Of course, for a superior (上好的) product you are expected to pay more. An inferior product may not give you the same quality, but the price could be low. A poor quality product could be expensive and a valuable one could be on sale at a greatly reduced price.Don’t worry. Take your time. After you decide what product you want to buy, go to many different stores. If you can’t find the product you want, you try to order it directly from the factory or ask the store to order it for you.Look for a good deal. If you wait, you may probably find that your product will go on sale and you may be able to save 10, 20, or even 50 percent of the original price.Finally, before you buy, make sure that the product is guaranteed (保修的). If you find the lowest possible price, you will generally be happy with your purchase and also keep more money in the bank.1. Which of the following should you care more while shopping?A. The price of the product.B. The information of the product.C. The size of the product.D. The quality of the product.2. If you want to make a good purchase, which of the following should you NOT do?A. Getting enough information about the product.B. Taking your friend’s advice all the time.C. Making sure about the guarantee of the product.D. Waiting until the proper time.3. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. a poor quality product must be cheapB. a valuable product must be on sale at a high priceC. waiting before shopping probably means saving moneyD. you don’t have to learn how to make purchases intelligently if you are rich enough4. The main purpose of the passage is to tell us that how to ______.A. find the product you wantB. have a good purchaseC. save moneyD. buy the product with high qualityBIt seems that great artists and scientists often suffer from mental problems. Both Einstein and Dickens had mental illness. Now scientists have started to look at whether mental illness and genius (天才) are linked.Dr Adele Juda studied 5,000 creative people in Germany. She found there were more people with mental illness in this group than in the general population. Poets had the highest rate of mental illness, followed by musicians, with lower numbers for painters and architects (建筑师). Other scientists did research which also showed a strong link between mental problems and creativity. But it did nothing to explain it.Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University made a breakthrough (突破). Instead of studying creative people, she took a group of psychiatric (精神病的) patients and tested them for creativity. The patients got much higher scores than a normal group. Also, the patients’ close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal group. This suggests that the key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes.But according to Darwinism, harmful genes should be removed. Some scientists believe that evolution (进化) has created a balance, where themadness of a few people leads to the development of the whole human race. Geniuses may be mad, bad or just difficult to understand, but their discoveries have improved the world we live in.5. ______ have not been mentioned in Dr Adele Juda’ｓstudy.A. PaintersB. MusiciansC. PoetsD. Scientists6. According to the research of Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University, we can conclude that ______.A. all the great artists and scientists suffer from mental problemsB. the patients’ close relatives were less creative than the patientsC. psychiatric patients are as creative as the average peopleD. it is our genes that determine the link between creativity and mental illness7. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Among the 5,000 creative people in Germany, more people suffer from mental diseases than the general population.B. There is a strong link between mental problems and creativity.C. Psychiatric patients make greater contributions than common people.D. Some scientists think the development of the whole human race results from the madness of a few people.8. What do we learn from the passage?A. Madness is harmful to the whole society.B. The madness of a few people may be good for us sometimes.C. All the talented people are mad.D. Only the people with mental illness have more creativity.CMy grandfather worked as a carpenter (木匠). On a particular day, he was building some cases for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Brazil. On his way home, he found his glasses were gone. When he mentally replayed his earlier actions, he realized what had happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket and fallen into one of the cases. The Great Depression (大萧条时期) was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to my grandfather’s small church in Chicago. He began by thanking the people for their kindness. “But most of all,”he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. You see, some people had just come to the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When I removed the covers, I found a pair of glasses lying on top.”After a pause he continued, “When I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part ofthat!” The people listened, happy for the miraculous gla sses. Sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, my grandfather, an ordinary carpenter realized his glasses had found a good place to go.9. We learn from the passage that the writer’s grandfather ______.A. got his glasses back from the director of the orphanageB. found that his glasses were at home at lastC. had a heavy burden of supporting his familyD. worked as a carpenter in a school in Chicago10. From the passage we can infer that the writer’s grandfather was very ______ after hearing what the director of the orphanage said.A. surprisedB. disappointedC. pitifulD. moved11. The underlined word “miraculous”in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “______”.A. practicalB. magicalC. necessaryD. important12. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The Perfect Mistake.B. An Ordinary Carpenter.C. A Careless Old Man.D. The Cases for the Clothes.DThe 400 phone messages said it all. Veterans (老兵) wanted to talk, and Jeff Beers, a military history expert and the son of a retired navy man, was ready to listen. Beers had volunteered for the Veterans History Project, a programme at the Library of Congress devoted to collecting and saving the oral histories of America’s 19 million veterans (老兵). “Most of them are shocked that anyone would be interested in their small story,”says Beers. “They ask, ‘Why now?’ But it has to be now, before it’s too late.”The US Department of Veterans Affairs estimates (估计) that 1.847 veterans die each day.Beers and the other volunteers are collecting the I-was-there detail. One of the most moving came from a World War II POW (prisoner of war). The World War II generation is made up of most of the 700 histories gathered since the programme began in 2001. But, says director Ellen Lovell, they want to hear from veterans of every war. “I interviewed my brother-in-law, an army surgeon (外科医生) in Vietnam.”She says, “He said he shared things with me that he’s never told anyone.”13. What do we learn from the passage about the veterans?A. They live a very happy life after the war.B. They often tell their stories to others.C. They are highly respected by others.D. They are becoming fewer and fewer in number.14. How did the veterans feel when they were interviewed?A. Happy.B. Sad.C. Surprised.D. Disappointed.15. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Veterans wanted to talk.B. Jeff Beers was ready to listen.C. The veterans had many stories.D. There were many phone messages.16. What is Jeff Beers most interested in?A. Historical records of World War II.B. Stories written by newspaper reporters.C. Stories most talked about by the public.D. Veterans’ wartime experiences.EWhatever our differences as human beings are, we all think we’re more like the rest of the animal world than we realize. It is said that we share 40 percent of our genetic (遗传的) structure with the simple worm (蠕虫). But that fact has helped Sir John Sulston win the 2002 Nobel Prize for Medicine. Sir John is the founder of the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which was set up in 1992 to get further understanding of the human genome (染色体组).To help them do this, they turned to the worm. What the worm told Sir John and his colleagues was that each of the cells in the human body isprogrammed like a computer. They grow, develop and die according to a set of instructions that are coded (编码) in our genetic make-up.Many of the diseases that humans suffer from happen when these instructions go wrong or are not obeyed (遵守). When the cell refuses to die but carries on growing instead, this leads to cancer. Heart attacks and diseases like AIDS cause more cell deaths than normal, increasing the damage they do to the body. Sir John was the first scientist to prove the existence of programmed cell death.17. Sir John Sulston got a Nobel Prize for Medicine because he has ______.A. found that human beings are similar to the wormB. got the fact that we share 40 percent of our genetic structure with the simple wormC. found the computer which controls each of the cells in the human bodyD. proved that cell death is programmed18. People might be seriously ill if the cells in their body ______.A. grow without being instructedB. die regularlyC. fail to follow people’s instructionsD. develop in the human body19. The underlined word “they”in the last paragraph refers to “______”.A. cell deathsB. diseasesC. instructionsD. cells20. What is the subject discussed in the passage?A. The theory of programmed cell deaths.B. A great scientist — Sir John Sulston.C. The programmed human life.D. Dangerous diseases.第三节短文改错（10分）It was very fine when I got up on last Sunday morning. 1. ________ So I decided to go for a walk and took some photos in the 2. ________ beautiful country.

Unit1 同步检测Ⅰ.阅读理解When Alfred Nobel created the prizes that bear his name，he decided that they be given for work done in the previous year.But it has led to all kinds of trouble—as it did once again this month，when the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology was awarded to a dead man.It is a complex story，one that could not have been foreseen when Nobel，the Swedish inventor，died in 1896.But it all traces back to his will，written at a time when international prizes were an original idea.Nobel did not say why he wanted t o reward scientists who “made the most important discovery” during the previous year.One can guess that he wanted to reward presentday innovation and not to give tombstone awards to Galileo，Hippocrates，and other scientists from centuries past.But will and science often got involved.The one-year timing proved impractical；scientific findings generally need to be tested，sometimes for decades，before their value is appreciated.Perhaps to avoid the Galileo problem，the Nobel Foundation did state clearly that the award be given only to living people；that rule was made formal in the 1970s.But the rule against posthumous awards has now been violated several times—most recently this month，when the prize in medicine was given to Dr.Ralph M．Steinman，a scientist at Rockefeller University，who died three days before his election.His discovery，called dendritic cells，took place in 1973.The first posthumous winner was the poet Erik Karlfeldt.Karlfeldt had refused his selection in 1918 because he was a longtime member of the Swedish Nobel Academy.When he was selected again in 1931，he had died that April.What happens if a candidate dies? The Nobel Foundation might consider changes at its next meeting.One possibility would be to withhold (阻止) the announcement of an award until a Nobel official hears the winner’s voice on the famous notification calls.【文章大意】诺贝尔奖是一个国际奖项，用来奖励前一年在科学上取得重大发现的人。
诺贝尔基金会明确说明这个奖项只颁给活着的人，但科学发现需要时间来检验。
诺贝尔奖能颁给死去的人吗？或许诺贝尔奖需要一些变革？1．What did Alfred Nobel create the prizes for?A．To make himself remembered forever.B．To attract international attention to Sweden.C．To encourage contributions to mankind.D．To honor some dead outstanding discoverers.解析：选C。
推理判断题。
根据第一段中的“he decided that they be given for work done in the previous year.”和第三段中的“One can guess that he wanted to reward present-day innovation”可知，创立诺贝尔奖的目的就是奖励其所在时代的科学发现或重大成就。
2．Why has the Nobel Prize brought about trouble?A．The oneyear timing is not workable.B．Nobel Foundation tries to break his will.C．Nobel’s fortune is not well managed.D．Candidates are hard to be selected worldwide.解析：选A。
细节理解题。
根据第四段中的“The one-year timing proved impractical；scientific findings generally need to be tested，sometimes for decades，before their value is appreciated.”可知答案。
3．What do the examples of the scientist Ralph M．Steinman and the poet Erik Karlfeldt suggest?A．The Nobel Foundation should obey the rules.B．Some rules of the prize call for reform.C．The Nobel Academy failed to perform their duty.D．The winner should live a very long life.解析：选B。
推理判断题。
根据上文可知，诺贝尔奖规定只颁发给健在的科学家，可是这一年的诺贝尔医学奖颁发给了已经去世的Ralph M．Steinman，1931年的诺贝尔文学奖颁发给了已逝的诗人Erik Karlfeldt，这两个例子足以说明诺贝尔奖的一些规定需要改革。
4．According to the last paragraph，the Nobel Prize is announced to the winner________．A．in secret B．through a visitC．by email D．on the telephone解析：选D。
