单元达标测评(满分:120分;时间:100分钟)第一部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
ABeijing Daxing Airport Is Finally OpenBeijing Daxing International Airport (PKX), also known as Beijing New Airport, is the biggest airport in the world. It is also the second international airport of Beijing along with Beijing Capital International Airport. The airport's design is a pioneering one while its location in Daxing District (the southern suburb of Beijing) is perfect for serving the Chinese capital and the neighboring areas of Hebei and Tianjin. The new mega hub airport (大型枢纽机场) is expected to handle up to 45 million passengers per year by 2021 and 100 million in the future.How big is Daxing Airport?The gigantic Daxing Airport, with the impressive shape which has given it the nickname “Starfish”, has enormous dimensions. There are 4 runways at present (with the hope of becoming 7 in the future) and a vast terminal building(航站楼) covering a 700,000m2area while the groundtransportation centre extends to 80,000m2.How many runways does Daxing Airport have?For the time being, Daxing Airport has four runways and 79 airport stands. The 4 runways' size is impressive while the airport stands are suitable for both one twin-aisle(双通道) and two single-aisle planes. Eventually, the airport will have 7 runways in total and will be able to serve about 620,000 flights every year.Who designed Daxing Airport?Daxing Airport's terminal building is the impressive outcome of the cooperation between ADP Ingénierie (ADPI) and the architecture team of Zaha Hadid who tragically passed away in 2016. As a result, in August 2018, Hong Kong design studio Lead 8 undertook the design of the new commercial terminal which is expected to meet every passenger's needs.How much did Daxing Airport cost?The construction of the mega airport, which is expected to eventually become the busiest airport in the world, cost an unsurprisingly large amount of money. The Chinese government is estimated to have paid about $17.47 billion for this great project.1.Daxing Airport is built .A.to serve Beijing, Hebei and TianjinB.only for the Chinese capital, BeijingC.as the second biggest airport in the worldD.to handle up to 45 million passengers per year2.What did Hong Kong design studio Lead 8 under-take?A.The runways.B.The airport stands.C.The terminal building.D.The commercial terminal.3.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To introduce Daxing Airport.B.To describe how Daxing Airport was built.C.To attract people to visit Daxing Airport.D.To discuss the importance of Daxing Airport.BBorn in London in 1825, Thomas Henry Huxley was one of the greatest men of the nineteenth century. In 1846 Thomas Henry Huxley was appointed assistant doctor aboard HMS Rattlesnake. The ship had been asked to survey areas of the Great Barrier Reef and the neighboring seas. This gave Thomas Henry Huxley an opportunity to study animal life and was the start of his biological career. The voyage lasted four years, during which he gathered much information on plankton (浮游生物).On his return from the voyage, Thomas Henry Huxley was made a member of The Royal Society in recognition of his scientific work. Although he continued to publish papers about plankton, his interest wasturning towards vertebrates (脊椎动物). For some time Thomas Henry Huxley and his workmates had been discussing the possibility that animal species had evolved (进化), from one to another. No satisfactory theories had been put forward, but in 1859 Darwin's The Origin of Species appeared. Thomas Henry Huxley at once realized its importance and how the theory of natural selection provided “the working hypothesis (假说) we sought”.For the rest of his life, Thomas Henry Huxley struggled to ensure the full recognition of Darwin's work. In 1863 Thomas Henry Huxley published Man's Place in Nature in which he compared man and great apes. He clearly showed similarities.Despite his many achievements, he was given no award by the British state until late in his life. From about 1870, Thomas Henry Huxley was too involved in other things to continue actual research. He had always been interested in education. He pioneered the teaching of biology and his method of selecting “type animals” is still followed today. He spent the last ten years of his life writing essays mainly on biology.4.Why did Huxley go on the voyage?A.To explore the deep sea.B.To do research on sea animals.C.To work as a doctor on the ship.D.To gather information for his paper.5.How did Huxley react to the theory of natural selection?A.He had doubt about it.B.He thought highly of it.C.He couldn't understand it.D.He thought he developed it first.6.What do we know about Huxley's book Man's Place in Nature?A.It discusses the importance of human beings.B.It focuses on Darwin's theory of natural selection.C.It talks about the differences between man and apes.D.It provides evidence about the evolution of man from great apes.7.What can we learn about Huxley from the last paragraph?A.He contributed a lot to biological teaching.B.He continued his research till his death.C.He became a good novelist late in his life.D.He never got awards for his achievements.CIt seems we can't get off the planet fast enough. Two thirds of NASA's money is spent on manned space exploration, and that number will grow with the USA's decision to send a man to Mars in 2037. We've seen all that is to see on Earth, right? Wrong. The final place is here, under the surface of the sea.Heading down into the ocean, human limits are quickly reached. At200 metres, the water is as black as a moonless night. Most nuclear submarines would implode (内爆) before they reach 1 km down. At 3 km—still less than the average depth of the ocean—there's a good chance that you'll discover a new species. The deepest-diving whales go no further. At the very bottom, about 11 km down, lies the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. Eighteen humans have walked on the Moon, but only three have seen the deep with their own eyes.Yet things live down there. Big things. A very loud sound was once heard and scientists suggested that it was produced by an animal bigger than a blue whale, the largest creature known on the planet.In the late 1990s, a deep-water submarine was dropped in the Southern Ocean, and passing 4,000 metres, it discovered something huge passing under it. Surprised? Don't be. The ocean covers 70% of the planet's surface and we've studied less than 5% of it. We know more about the dark side of the Moon than about the bottom of the sea.One reason why we explore space is to find evidence of other life forms. The search for life outside of Earth is important, but robots can look under the dry rocks of Mars better than humans. They're absolutely important for doing ocean research too, but they can't look under the sea. The cost of exploration is rising, but the results would benefit all our lives. Understanding the oceans will help us find new sources of food, drugsand energy.Perhaps now it's time to begin a new period of sea exploration. Manned space exploration is science fiction. The adventure of the deep sea is science fact.8.What do the examples in Paragraph 2 suggest?A.Sea exploration is no easy task.B.Nuclear submarines need to be improved.C.The ocean is far deeper than people expected.D.The condition under the sea is similar to that on the Moon.9.What do we know about the Challenger Deep?A.Blue whales live there.B.No one has ever been there.C.People are terrified by the sight of it.D.It is the deepest known location of the Mariana Trench.10.What does the author think of the discovery in the Southern Ocean?A.It's surprising.B.It's no wonder.C.It's worrying.D.It's no success.11.What does the author want to tell us?A.Space exploration is of little value.B.We spend too much money on space travel.C.Humans' success lies in how much they explore the sea.D.The ocean is the place where we should make our efforts.DFor Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.“It's no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill.“Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, MarcJacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion.“The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”12.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A.It promoted the sales of artworks.B.It attracted a large number of visitors.C.It showed ancient Chinese clothes.D.It aimed to introduce Chinese models.13.What does Hill say about Chinese women?A.They are setting the fashion.B.They start many fashion campaigns.C.They admire super models.D.They do business all over the world.14.What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?A.learning fromB.looking down onC.working withpeting against15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB.A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC.Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD.Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Unit 3 A taste of English humour第二局部：阅读理解〔共两节 ,总分值40分〕第一节〔共15小题；每题2分 ,总分值30分〕阅读以下短文 ,从每题所给的四个选项〔A、B、C和D〕中 ,选出最正确选项。
AI learnt to fly in a balloon in a race across the Atlantic Ocean in 1992 and became extremely interested in the sport. In the same way that a mountain climber dreams of climbing the world's highest mountain, I dreamed about flying non-stop around the world.I spent six years planning the flight and failed twice before I and my team managed to succeed. For some reason, we had to go first to North Africa to catch the right winds. That added 10,000 kilometres, and another week, to our journey. But because of this, our flight broke all the records for distance and time spent in the air.The most memorable part of the trip for me is that we lived in the air for 20 days and that the rising sun was the most amazing thing we saw. We had to go out of the balloon's capsule (舱), in which we were transported, three times while in the air to repair the fuel (燃料) system. We didn't have any safety equipment but when you are in a situation like that, you just do what you have to do without thinking about feeling afraid. Landing was a fantastic moment. I remember that when I got out of the capsule, I looked at my footprint in the sand. I remembered the astronaut Neil Armstrong, who was so happy to put his footprint on the moon, so far away from Earth. At that moment, I was so happy to have my foot back on Earth!21. The author became interested in ballooning because of _____.A. a cross-ocean raceB. a mountain climbC. a childhood dreamD. a long sea journey22. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the author and his team's flight?A. They set a new record.B. They shortened their flight.C. Their flight went very smoothly.D. Their flight covered 10,000 kilometres.23. Why did the balloonists get out of the capsule during the flight?A. To fight their fear.B. To do some repair work.C. To admire the rising sun.D. To check safety equipment.24. The author mentioned Neil Armstrong to show his _____.A. regretB. surpriseC. respectD. pleasureBYou probably laugh at something you find funny, but how much do you really know about jokes and humour? Reader's Digest (RD) questioned several experts to give us some facts about them.RD:What’s the oldest joke in the world?“We can't know the oldest joke in the world because it would have existed earlier than writing,〞 says Christie Davies, professor of sociology at the University of Reading inthe UK. The oldest joke book that's been found so far is the Greek Philogelos. It dates from the 4th century AD, although the jokes date from an earlier time. According to psychologist Steve Wilson, director of National Humor Month (April in the US), it contains 265 jokes.RD: Do some people fail to develop a sense of humour?Rod Martin, professor of psychology at the Western University in Canada, believes that while everyone is born without a sense of humour, as we develop, humour and laughter begin to appear. “Of course, some children are more serious, quiet, and less likely to laug h frequently, but this doesn't mean they don't have a sense of humour.〞 And according to Steve Wilson, there are no adults who don't have a sense of humour. “Almost everyone is able to develop a sense of humour, and I teach people how,〞 he says.RD: Do people share a sense of humour unique to their own nation?Sense of humour does differ a lot by country, according to an author named Scott Weems. British humour is thought to be absurd (荒唐的) in nature, while American humour has an aggressive quality. According to a study, Germans are found to find everything funny.25. What do we know about the oldest joke book?A. It remains unknown.B. It was written in Greek.C. It was found in the UK.D. It contains the oldest joke.26. What does Rod Martin agree with about people's sense of humour?A. Nobody is born with a sense of humour.B. Some adults lose it when they grow up.C. Childhood is the best time to develop such ability.D. Children have a poorer sense of humour than adults.27. What kind of humour has an aggressive feature?A. British humour.B. German humour.C. Canadian humour.D. American humour.28. Where can you probably find the text?A. In a popular magazine.B. In a research paper.C. In a personal diary.D. In a textbook.CWhen people communicate, they use more than words. People's body language shows important information just like speech does. When someone lies with their words, their body language often tells the truth. The next time you wonder if someone is telling you the truth, try watching their hands.A person who is being honest will usually turn one or both of their palms (手掌) towards the other person. If a person is beginning to “open up〞 or share important information, you may notice them turn their palms towards you. Like most body language, this unconscious (无意识的) gesture usually gives the other person the feeling that the speaker is speaking honestly.When people lie, they tend to hide their palms by putting their hands behind their back or holding them. Others will keep their hands in their pockets if they are lying or tryingto hide information. Salespeople are sometimes trained to watch out for this specific example of body language when a person is saying that they can't afford a product or service. Sometimes professional liars try to use open-palm gestures to fool others. But a careful listener may tell it is a lie through their body language such as lack of eye contact and touching the nose.Research has also suggested that if people normally turn their palms to face their listeners, they tend to be more honest themselves. If you want people's honesty, talk to them and ask them questions while keeping your palms turned out. This will put pressure on the people you are talking to.Human body language, emotion, and communication are directly connected. By showing that you are honest, with your palms towards people, your body language pushes others to tell you the truth.29. Turning one's palms towards others is a symbol of _____.A. confidenceB. politenessC. patienceD. honesty30. How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?A. By telling stories.B. By giving examples.C. By making comparisons.D. By providing explanations.31. Talking with your palms open will encourage others to _____.A. behave activelyB. gesture carefullyC. be honest with youD. forget their pressureDThe famous website known as Facebook began as a Harvard University dropout's hobby. It was once limited to university students, but it has now become the largest social networking website in the world. It is a good way for old friends to find each other and for new friends to meet.Facebook was started in 2019 and was then a site that only students with an email address ending in “edu〞 could join. It was like being part of a huge but exclusive club. College students throughout the USA joined the website to create large networks. As Facebook's popularity grew, its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, realized even more people would love to sign up for the service. In 2019, Facebook opened its membership to anyone with an email address. Facebook experienced another increase in its popularity.In just minutes, anyone can sign up for the service and start enjoying photos or videos. Most new members also enjoy searching for friends they lost touch with years ago. Whether they knew each other from elementary, middle, high school or college, people around the world reconnect using Facebook's simple tools.Facebook also includes many specialized features. Members write on a friend's “wall〞, a special part of each person's page. Friends post short public messages on each other's “walls〞, or they can send private (私密的) “messages〞. Fac ebook members also “poke (戳)〞each other. Sending a “poke〞to a friend is like saying “I'm thinking of you〞. Like a real-life poke, a “poke〞 on Facebook shows you want someone's attention. Members also send “gifts〞. “Gifts〞 are little icons (图标) of things you might really give. Members can buy these icons at a low price and send them, showing their appreciation.32. What does the underlined word “exclusive〞 in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Available only to some people.B. Teaching you something modern.C. Strange and difficult to understand.D. Supporting new ideas and methods.33. How did Mark Zuckerberg increase Facebook's popularity?A. By advertising it online.B. By working with schools.C. By making it open to any email user.D. By sharing students' photos and videos.34. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about _____.A. some ways of using Facebook's toolsB. what people can learn from FacebookC. how people make friends on FacebookD. some features that make Facebook popular35. If a Facebook member wants to get noticed by a friend, he can _____.A. send a “gift〞B. send a “poke〞C. write on the “wall〞D. send long “messages〞第二节〔共5小题；每题2分 ,总分值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正确选项。

So, when kids act up, parents or teachers may tell them to stop monkeying around. It means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time.Now, in the United States, children do not usually have monkeys as pets, but they do often have dogs. And dogs make most children feel happy. But for some reason, we use "dog" in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are as sick as a dog, you are really sick and will most likely stay home from work or school.Besides, dogs and cats are also favorite pets here in the States. This next phrase combines cats and secrets to make a very common expression. Let's say you know a secret, a big secret. And let's say you tell it to people. You have just let the cat out of the bag! This idiom means revealing(揭示) a secret or telling facts that were previously(先前) unknown.If you let the cat out of the bag, you spoil a surprise. So, if your friend is planning a big surprise birthday for another friend, don't let the cat out of the bag by accidentally saying it in front of thebirthday girl. Even though this is a very common idiom, the origin of "to let the cat out of the bag" is also unknown.If you are doing an outdoor activity—such as hiking in the woods, or having a picnic in a park—what are some things that may disturb your good time? Bad weather could. And so could bugs! Crawling pests like ants, and flying ones like mosquitoes, could make your experience uncomfortable or annoying.So, when we bug people we bother them so much that we affect their good time. This common expression is often said as a command: "Stop bugging me!"（1）According to the passage, "monkeying around" is considered _______.A.sillyB.wrongC.properD.happy（2）If you ask somebody to reveal a secret, you may use the phrase "_______".A.stop bugging meB.as sick as a dogC.monkeying aroundD.let the cat out of the bag（3）What is the meaning of the phrase "stop bugging me"?A.Don't trouble me.B.Give up your good time.C.Stop feeling annoyed.D.Don't comfort me.（4）What is the passage mainly about?（）A.The names of animals in the English language.B.The meaning of some English phrases.C.The origins of phrases about animals.D.The strange usages of some words.（二）What is it that makes people laugh? More than two thousand years ago the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle defined (定义) jokes as the pleasure that results from a feeling of triumph(胜利) by showing we're better than someone else in a certain way. According to Aristotle and many other philosophers，all jokes depend mainly on showing inferiority in another person or group ofpersons—that is，putting it clearly，on showing that they are worse off than ourselves. Jokes raise our good opinion of ourselves at someone else's expense.Showing how much better than other people we are is only one reason we like jokes. Someone may also use a joke to express their anger or their cruelty or any other kind of action that is not acceptable to us. We feel free to laugh when we hear about someone sliding on a banana skin. The joke lets us express those attitudes which are usually unacceptable to society. This is probably the reason why some of the jokes，especially those involving cruelty，are so popular with certain people.Besides，all jokes depend on our enjoyment of laughing at something that is strange and out of place because it's different from things which are happening around it. The same situation can be either sad or pleasant，depending entirely on how strange and out of place it is. If a girl in a bathing suit falls into a swimming pool，we don't laugh because nothing unusual has happened. But if a man in a smart suit falls in，the situation is at once unusual in a pleasant way and we laugh. A good joke-teller will always try to build up a situation in which one thing is expected until something unexpected suddenly happens，and so we laugh.（1）According to Aristotle，all jokes depend mainly on ________.A.showing inferiority in another person or groupB.resulting in a sense of successC.having a good opinion of other peopleD.making people laugh unexpectedly（2）The underlined word “inferiority”(in Paragraph 1) means ________.A.something that is not as good as something elseB.something that is better than something elseC.someone that is not as good as someone elseD.someone that is better than someone else（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 2? （）A.Showing we are better than other people is the only one reason we like jokes.B.When people are angry，they would like to hear jokes.C.People who like jokes are usually cruel.D.To express those attitudes usually unacceptable to society is one of the reasons we like jokes. （4）What will a good joke teller always try to do? （）A.Make a sad situation into a pleasant one.B.Make different things happen at the same time.C.Make an unexpected thing happen in an expected situation.D.Make people laugh at something unusual and out of place.四、任务型阅读（共10分）Having good study habits is key to success in college. ________ To begin making the change, you need to get organized to study.Create a fixed study space. Find a quiet space in your room or somewhere on campus where you can focus. Studying in the same place every day makes your brain combine a certain environment with work. ________Find a regular time for studying. If you study at the same time each day, your brain will be prepared for learning when you sit down. Review your schedule and see when you have free time. ________ You can study during gaps between classes or in the evening after your classes are done for the day.________ Make sure you have everything you need to study at your study space. If you're studying in a place in your home, keep things like your books, pencils, pens, and paper in that area. If you go out to study, you can take a book bag and keep all your studying materials stored there.Avoid distractions (干扰). When you prepare your study space, it's important to keep it away from distractions. Remove any technologies that will take your mind off your work, like your iPad. ________ Besides, keep other distracting materials such as outside reading, away from your study area.五、语法填空（共6分）1.He talked as if he had made great ________(contribute), but in fact, Alice did most of the job.2.The lecture, ________（start）at 7:00 pm last night, was followed by an observation of the moon with telescopes.3.The workmen made so ________ mess that Mrs. Walker had to spend three days cleaning up afterwards.4.—How could you pick out your friend so easily?—She is the kind of person who ________(stand) out in a crowd.5.As long as we are united, there is no difficulty we can ________(overcome).6.After the long march through the wild forest, they found themselves worn ________ as well as their clothes．六、书面表达（共25分）请你以The power of humor为话题写一篇短文，谈谈幽默在生活中的重要作用。

A★★☆☆☆In 2012,1 had just recovered from a serious illness when I received an invitation to a writer's conference in Orlando, Florida. My family and friends persuaded me that a holiday might be just what the doctor ordered, so off I went.Arriving in the Sunshine State was not easy, but I managed to catch a taxi to the hotel. The next morning, I caught another taxi to do some shopping. Later I went to a cafe to buy some lun ch, but havi ng my san dwich and drink in my han ds, I saw that all the tables were occupied （占用）.Then I heard a friendly voice saying, "You can share my table.〃I thankfully sat down with the smiling elderly lady and we shared a happy lunch together. As the meal drew to a close she asked how long I would be in Orlando. I had already told her that I had n't hired （租用）a car, and had n't realised how costly taking taxis would be. After a while she said, "My dear, don't use any more taxis. It would be my pleasure to drive you wherever you wish•“I told her that I couldn"t put her to that trouble, but she insisted. She took details ofwhere I was staying and the next morning she drove me to Disney World. She took me through the park's gates and spent some time with me before leaving me to explore alone. At the end of the day, she returned to take me back to my hotel. The next few days, she drove me around Orlando's tourist areas. I offered her money but she refused to take any.When we had lunch on my last day, I thanked her for her kindness. I'll never forget that wonderful lady who filled my holiday in Florida with wonderful memories.21.The author went to Orlando to _______ •A.see a doctorB.attend a meetingC.meet a friendD.visit a family member22.What did the elderly lady do?A.She offered her seat to the author.B.She helped the author hire a car.C.She drove the author to a park.D.She bought the author a lunch.23.We can infer from the text that the elderly lady is _________ •A.hard-workingB. good-lookingC. well-known D・ kind-hearted24.What's the best title for the text?A.My holiday heroB.Making a big differenceC.My trip to Disney WorldD.Difficulty in a foreign landB★★★☆☆What you communicate through your body language and nonverbal signals affects how others see you, how well they like and respect you, and whether or not they trust you. Unf ort un ately, many people send confusing non verbal signals without even knowing it.Jack, Ted and Arlene are all speakers who have got disastrous results while communicating with others.Jack believes he gets along great with others, but if you were to ask any of them, they would say that Jack makes them feel afraid. Rather than just look at you, he seems to eat you with his eyes. And he often shakes your hand so hard that it hurts. Jack is a caring guy who secretly wishes he had more friends, but hisnon verbal awkwardness （笨扌!11） keeps people at a dista nee.Ted is good-looking, hard-working, and a smooth talker, but he seems to care more about his thoughts than others. Whe n some one has somethi ng to say, Ted's wild eyes make him look like he wants to speak before they have finished. His in ability to liste n to others makes him un popular with many people.Arlene is funny and attractive, but even though she keeps laughing and smiling, she looks nervous. Her shoulders and eyebrows （眉毛）are noticeably raised, her voice is high, and her body is stiff.

One is a classical music station broadcast by a university. I have to admit, the music usually sounds great, and they also cover college sports and other local events.

Would it pay to choose plastic over paper?Last year, that all-digital school in New York saw its 13 rate drop from 12 percent to 6.1 percent.Failure rates in college could drop as well. 82% of students surveyed said they would feel better about their performance, if an online text was 14 .A cheaper, more customized(定制) 15 with higher success rates maybe result in a few less trips to the doctor's office.1.

How funny somebody finds a certain thing depends on many things including ages, personal experiences, levels of education and locations. Therefore, humor is something that is not always transferable (可转移的) in another country.What about when both countries speak the same mother tongue? Does that mean they will then share the same sense of humor, or can differences still take place? Let's take the example of Britain and America. Time and time again, people say that Brits and Americans don't "get" each other's sense of humor. It is often argued that one of the most common differences between the British and American sense of humor is that Americans don't understand irony (反话). Simon Pegg exploresthis topic in depth in his article What Are You Laughing At? He concludes that this statement isn't true and I agree with him.In fact, Brits use irony on a daily basis while Americans don't. I think Americans understand British irony (most of the time anyway); what they don't understand is the need to use it so frequently. When Americans use irony, they tend to say that they are "only kidding". They feel the need to make a joke more obvious than Brits do. Maybe this comes from a fear of offending (冒犯) people.The American sense of humor is generally more slapstick (闹剧的) than that in Britain. I think this arises from a cultural difference between the two. Their jokes are more obvious and forward, a bit like Americans themselves. British jokes, on the other hand, tend to be more subtle. This may stem from the fact that British culture is more reserved (矜持的) than American culture.（1）What does Paragraph 1 mainly show? （）A.Humor is difficult to get.B.Humor is influenced by culture.C.Not all people have a sense of humor.D.It is important to have a sense of humor.（2）What is the author's point of view in Paragraph 2? （）A.Americans don't get Brits' humor.B.Americans know how to use irony.C.Simon Pegg is professional in using irony.D.Britain and America share the same sense of humor.（3）What can we learn about Brits and Americans from Paragraph 3? （）A.Americans' jokes often offend people.B.Brits' irony is not easy to understand.C.They are different in how often to use irony.D.They are not sure about the need to use irony. （4）What does the underlined word "subtle" mean? （）A.HiddenB.FunnyC.ObviousD.Special（二）Bill Gates and the president of General Motors have met for lunch, and Gates is going on and on about computer technology. "If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades, you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a top speed of 10, 000 miles per hour," says Gates. "Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas. In either case, the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50.Why haven't you guys kept up?"The president of GM smiles and says, "Because the federal government won't let us build cars that crash four times a day."Why is that funny (or not funny, as the case may be)? Human beings love to laugh, and the average adult laughs 17 times a day. Humans love to laugh so much that there are actually industries built around laughter. Jokes, sitcoms and comedians are all designed to get us laughing, because laughing feels good. For us it seems so natural, but the funny thing is that humans are one of the only species that laughs. Laughter is actually a complex response that involves many of the same skills used in solving problems.Laughter is a great thing—that's why we've all heard the saying, "Laughter is the best medicine." There is strong evidence that laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease. In this article, we'll look at laughter—what it is, what happens in our brains when we laugh, what makes us laugh and how it can make us healthier and happier. You'll also learn that there's a tremendous amount that no one understands yet.（1）What's the best title of the passage? （）ughterB.The joke between Gates and the president of General MotorsC.Why do we laugh?ughter and health（2）Which one is NOT true according to the passage?（）puter technology has developed quickly during the past few decades.B.Automotive technology has developed as fast as computer technology according to Bill Gates.C.The president of GM thinks it is impossible to build cars worth less than 50 dollars.D.If cars were less than 50 dollars, a large number of accidents would happen per day.（3）The underlined word "sitcoms" in Paragraph 3 means "________".A.situation comediesB.tragediesC.body languageD.fictions（4）This passage is most probably an ________.A.introduction of an article about MicrosoftB.introduction of an article about laughterC.article about laughterD.introduction of an article about General Motors四、任务型阅读（共5分）Simple ways to improve your written EnglishLots of people think it is really difficult to improve their written English. Don't worry, here are some simple steps that you can take to improve your written English.Increase your vocabulary(词汇)To express yourself clearly, you need a good active vocabulary. That's not just being able to know lots of words—it means actually being able to use them correctly. ________ Tip: When you learn a new word, try to learn all the forms of that word.________People often say that we learn to write best by reading. Reading in English is useful in many ways. It is a great way to get an idea of the different styles of writing and see how to use words appropriately.Tip: ________Learning shouldn't be boring. Read each text several times to make sure you understand how to use new words and expressions in the text.Improve your grammarGrammar is very important because it improves the quality(质量) of your writing.Tip: ________The first time, look for general mistakes and the second time look for mistakes with the particular grammar point you are studying at the moment.Just do it!The best way to improve your writing is to get a pen and paper and write. Be prepared to write several versions(版本) of each text. ________A. Read widely and often.B. Know much about your readers.C. Always check your writing twice.D. Remember, practice makes perfect!E. Choose books or articles that interest you.F. Use simple languages and shorter sentences to show your ideas.G. Do this by learning new words with example sentences, not just word lists.五、翻译（共25分）1.Once you've experienced the life in our country, you won't want to return home.2.Nature has provided our country with wealthy natural treasures, making it a happy home for us.3.在没有任何人注意的情况下，他溜进了一个房间。

It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition. With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home. “How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked. “None.” “Where did you go?” “The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.” “What did you do?” “Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.” “You just stood there?” “Didn’t sell a single one.” “My God, Russell!” Uncle Allen put in, “Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned. Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor,could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home. One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business. “If you think you can chang e your mind like this,” she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me. My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back t o her husband’s people for true life and love. 56．Why did the boy start his job young? A．He wanted to be famous in the future B．The job was quite easy for him. C．His mother had high hopes for him. D．The competition for the job was fierce. 57．From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _______. A．excited B．interested C．ashamed D．disappointed 58．What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up? A．She forced him to continue. B．She punished him. C．She gave him some money. D．She changed her plan. 59．The phrase “this battle”in the last paragraph refers to . A．the war between the boy’s parents B．the arguing between the boy and his mother C．the quarrel between the boy and his customers D．the fight between the boy and his father 60．What is the text mainly about? A．The early life of a journalist. B．The early success of a journalist. C．The happy childhood of the writer. D．The important role of the writer in his family. B Researchers have found more evidence that suggests a relationship between races and rates(率) of lung cancer among smokers. A new study shows that black people and Native Hawaiians are more likely todevelop lung cancer from smoking. It compared their risk to whites, Japanese-Americans and Latinos. Researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Hawaii did the new study. The New England Journal of Medicine published the findings. The eight-year research studied more than 180,000 people. They included present and former smokers and people who never smoked. Almost 2.000 people in the study developed lung cancer. Researchers say genetics(遗传学) might help explain the racial and ethnic（种族的） differences. There could be differences in how people's bodies react to smoke. But environmental influences, including the way people smoke, could also make a difference. African-Americans and Latinos in the study are reported smoking the fewest cigarettes per day. Whites are the heaviest smokers. But the scientists point out that blacks have been reported to breathe cigarette smoke more deeply than white smokers. This could fill their lungs with more of the chemicals in tobacco that cause cancer. Scientists know that some diseases effect different groups differently. And some drug companies have begun to develop racially targeted(针对) medicines. Last June, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients. The name is BiDil. The agency called it "a step toward the promise of personalized medicine." 61．Which of the following orders is from higher to lower risk of having lung cancer? A．Whites―Native HawaiiansB．Africans―Americans―Latinos C．Asians―Native Hawaiians D．Africans―Americans―Native Hawaiians 62．Researchers agree that it is that may probably deter mine black people’s risk of lung cancer. A．the larger amount of smoking than white people B．the living style or habit of the blacks C．the depth of cigarette smoke into their lungs D．the physical strength toreact to cigarette smoke 63．People in the new study are made up of . A．heavy smokers in America B．the black and white people C．the Asians and Hawaiians D．smokers and non-smokers 64．The production of BiDil referred to in the last paragraph is to . A．explain different races react to some diseases differently B．tell the readers that racial differences exist in smokers C．show a big step people have taken in the medicine area D．support the idea that it is easy for blacks to have cancers 65．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the author? A．The way of smoking may increase the risk of lung cancer. B．Race has nothing to do with the risk of having a lung cancer. C．The research was started by the New England Journal of Medicine. D．The risk of lung cancer lies I how much a person smokes. C "The world's oceans are slowly getting more acidic．”say scientists．The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The lowering of the waters’pH value is not great at the momen t but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature. Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater. Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century. These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change．"This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing COZ into the atmosphere," said Dr Caldeira. "And we predict the amount offuture acidity will exceed（超过）anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years, let alone perhaps after rare disastrous events such as asteroid（小1j-%+.'_) impacts．” However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life．Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to pH changes．Coral reefs and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate（小行星) may be particularly affected if the water's acidity levels keep going up, the team predict. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower pH. In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming．But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered. "Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing 一because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and when CO2, is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.” 66 ．The ocean is becoming more acidic due to＿． A，the lower water pH value B．the warming atmosphere C ．the higher level of COZ in the air D．the increasing use of oil fuels 67． According to Dr Caldeira,＿． A ．ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thing B ．more oil fuels will be used in the near future C ．scientists may predict climate changes with computer models D ．the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious 68．If the water's acidity level keeps rising,＿． A ．ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affected B ．the waters’pH value will become higher and hig her C ．organisms living near the surface are more sensitive to pH changes D ．some disastrous events will occur more often than before 69．Mostexperts once believed storing carbon dioxide in the ocean would reduce＿． A ．the COZ absorbed by the ocean B ．the amount of greenhouse warming C ．the acidity of the ocean D ．the gradul release Of CO2 70．The purpose of this passage is to＿． A ．show people the findings of a research team B ．inform people of how acid the ocean is now C ．introduce Dr Caldeira and his team's research D ．warn people of the higher level of COZ D As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week. Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by. Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales.“I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier. Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.” 71．The passage tells us that . A．people seldom work long hours to make money B．people hardly buy more things than necessary C．people are sure everything they own is in the right place D．people realize there is more to life than just making money 72．When Daniel was a reporter he ___. A．lived in central London B．disliked his job C．missed his children D．was well paid 73．Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm ____. A．was easy to organize B．has improved family life C．was extremely expensive D．has been a total success 74．What does the author mean by saying“the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph ? A．People work long hours to earn their living. B．To make more money through hard work is the aim of people’s life. C．Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people’s life. D．People spent too much time and money eating meals. 75．The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph refers to _________. A．repairing your car by yourself B．spending money carefully C．moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better life D．livingin a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week 第Ⅱ卷（共45分）新课标第一网第四部分书面表达（共两节，满分45分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
