2018高考英语一轮复习单元检测卷16Word版含答案

Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2016·重庆三峡名校联盟12月联考)When I was six，my mother placed me in a boarding school. For the next nine years，I never slept in a room that contained less than 30 other kids in it. So，when I was promoted to senior at the high school for my final year there，I had the greatest pleasure of rooming with just one other classmate，and the added feature of a semi-private bathroom.
We seniors also had the privilege of walking around the campus in special hats，we called senior bonnets，so all the other kids would know we were the highest in the high school. As seniors，we frequently went on field trips outside the campus，including city museums，city hall，courts，colleges，sports events and theaters. The highlight was a senior class trip to Washington，D.C.，where we sat in on a session of Congress，visited the Smithsonian and visited many other government sites around the city.
Another benefit of being seniors was that many of us on athletic and other extra-curricular teams were elected to high rankings for the year. I had the honor and pleasure of being chosen captain of our state championship swim team，while my roommate was voted president of the dramatic club.
Graduation services were on a sunny day in June. Each of us had looked forward to this moment for ten years，from first grade through our senior year. Now we were going out on our own to complete freedom，and we should have been flooded with joy. However，to my surprise，I found myself crying，something I hadn't done for years. I noticed many of my classmates，also usually proud of their macho guy(大男子气概) attitudes，were also wiping away tears. We knew we would never be together again as we were on that graduation day. Our senior year ended with deep feelings of sadness for our loss，as well as joy for our emerging into a new world beyond the school campus.

(2016·广西南宁第二次适应性测试)About a quarter of the world drives on the left，and the countries that do are mostly old British colonies(殖民地) like Australia，and Ireland. But Thailand，Indonesia and Japan also do so.
This strange quirk(奇事) puzzles the rest of the world; however，there is a perfectly good reason. Up to the late 1700s，everybody travelled on the left side of the road because it's the sensible option for feudal(封建的)，violent societies of mostly right-handed people. Soldiers with their swords under their right arm naturally passed on each other's right，and if you passed a stranger on the road you walked on the left to ensure that your protective sword arm was between yourself and him.
Revolutionary France，however，overturned this practice as part of its sweeping social rethink.
A change was carried out all over continental Europe by Napoleon. It changed under Napoleon because he was left-handed. His armies had to march on the right so he could keep his sword arm between him and any opponent. From then on，any part colonized by the French travelled on the right.
After the American Revolutionary War(1775～1783)，the US became independent and decided to make traffic drive on the right in order to cast off all remaining links with its British colonial past. As America became the center of the car industry，if you wanted a good reliable vehicle，you bought American right-hand-drive cars. From then on，many countries changed out of necessity.
Today，the EU would like Britain to fall into line with the rest of Europe，but this is no longer
possible. It would cost billions of pounds to change everything round. The last European country to change driving on the right was Sweden in 1967. While everyone was getting used to the new system，they paid more attention and took more care，resulting in a reduction of the number of road accidents.
语篇导读

5．Why did people travel on the left before the late 18th century?
A．They were required to do so. B．They were mostly left-handed.

6．What was Napoleon's attitude to walking on the left?
A．Support. B．Disapproval.
C．Doubt. D．Sympathy.
解析：B推理判断题。

根据第三段“It changed under Napoleon because he was left-handed. His armies had to march on the right so he could keep his sword arm between him and any opponent.”可以推知。

A．the connection with France was broken
B．the US was no longer ruled by the UK
C．the American Revolution War had ended

How to Become a Lifelong Learner
Learning doesn't stop just because school does. Making a commitment to yourself to learn something new every day，you will not only enjoy what you discover，but you will be able to apply
your knowledge and become a teacher to future generations. Here are some steps to become a life-long learner.
Learn how you learn.__9__ Note what learning techniques are most efficient for you and use them as much as is practical，such as viewing online tutorials on websites like YouTube if you're more of a visual learner.
__10__ Try many different things so that you don't box yourself into believing you're only good at a few things. It's probable that you're good at many things，but you won't know until you've tried.
Look at learning as an exploration and opportunity，not a chore(琐事). Don't just force yourself to learn things because they're important or necessary.__11__ Follow your heart，as well as your sense of duty. Do you remember the 8th grade history that you hated so much，with all those names and dates that seemed to mean nothing? The point was to bring you to learn details now that will knit chunks of information together later.__12__
Read，read，read.__13__ Reading is a gateway into other worlds and into the minds of your fellow human beings. And reading will help you to learn the discoveries and mistakes of others who have gone before you; reading is，in effect，a shortcut so that you don't have to learn things the hard way.
A．Learn where your talents and interests lie.
B．It was a chore then，but it makes sense，now.
C．Recognize the educational value in whatever you read.
D．Determine your own preferred learning style or styles.
E．Their ways of learning might help you to improve your own.
F．Make friends with your local library and new and used book sellers.
G．Instead，learn things that you need to learn alongside things you love to learn.
语篇导读
本文讲述了如何成为一名终身学习者的方法。

9．解析：D递进关系。

空后面的“…what learning techniques are most efficient for you…”与D项中的“your own preferred learning style”相对应。

选项D与本段小标题构成递进关系，同时又引起下文。

10．解析：A总分关系。

本题要选出的是合适的小标题，因此从祈使句的形式上可以做出判断。

内容上，选项A是本段的主题句，是本段的总领。

11．解析：G转折关系。

G选项中的instead与空格前的提示“Don't just force yourself…”形成对比，因此补充的内容就是应该如何做。

12．解析：B总结关系。

空格前一句“…now…later”强调的是现在所学的能为将来做准备，与B项的“…then…now…”形成呼应。

13．解析：F顺承关系。

根据小标题可知，强调的是开卷有益，因此C项中的“educational
value ”缩小了范围，因此不对。

F 项则强调的是接触到书籍的方式和途径，符合语境。
