Unit 1 单元测试
一、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。

A
From early times, man has been interested in art. People have often worked together to collect and save the world’s art treasures. Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. It is one of the biggest art museums in the world.
The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort（堡垒）. In 1190, it was the king’s castle with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat（护城河）to keep out the enemies. Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle no longer needed a fort. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.
During the time of peace, new treasures were brought in. During the days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.
When Francis I became the King of France in 1515, he brought in many artists from other countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is the best known painting in the museum today.
In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum. It is a place where art treasures are kept for everyone to enjoy. Every year millions of people from all over the world come to the Louvre to see the masterpieces.
1. Most of works of art in the Louvre have been collected probably by ________.
A. the French people
B. Francis I
C. Leonardo da Vinci
D. people of the world
2. Why is it good for the works of art to be kept in public museums?
A. The works of art will not be stolen.
B. The works of art will not be damaged.
C. Artists can study the works of art.
D. Everyone has a chance to enjoy the works of art.
3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The Louvre is always a museum since it was built.
B. All the art treasures in the Louvre have been destroyed in the war.
C. The Louvre was once the king’s castle in history.
D. There is still a fort near the Louvre now.
B
What killed King Tut? Historians and scientists have long believed that ancient Egypt’s
most famous king was probably murdered. But a recent scientific study claims to have found
a different answer to this more than 3,300-year-old mystery. A team of researchers now say
that King Tut, the boy ruler, died of complications （并发症）from a broken leg.
Tut’s full name was Tutankhamun. He was just 9 years old when he became the ruler of
Egypt in 1333 BC. His treasure-filled tomb was discovered almost a century ago. It was filled with royal riches, including a solid-gold coffin, a gold mask, and piles of jewelry.
Unfortunately Tut died at the age of 19. Many experts have thought that Tut was killed by one of his advisers, named Ay, who wanted to be king. But thanks to a major modern science project, it seems Ay is innocent.
Researchers set out to solve the mystery of King Tut’s death by using the tools of science, including DNA tests and electronic scans of his mummy（木乃伊）. Scientist Carsten Pusch carried out the tests on Tut for the new study. He thinks a broken leg led to the young king’s death. More than 100 walking sticks were found in King Tut’s tomb. This supports the team’s findings. But how could a person die from a simple broken leg?
Pusch also found DNA evidence in Tut’s body that shows he had malaria, a disease carried by mosquitoes. Malaria seriously weakens the immune system（免疫系统）.
Pusch and his fellow researchers believe the malaria and the bone disease together caused the king’s fracture （骨折）to become deadly. Finally, the young king was just too weak to recover. So effects of the disease combined with the bad luck of a broken bone —not a jealous adviser —are likely the real, causes of King Tut’s death.
4. It has long been believed by historians and scientists that ________.
A. King Tut was the youngest ruler in the world history
B. King Tut was the richest ruler in the history of Egypt
C. King Tut was murdered by one of his advisers
D. King Tut was poisoned by one of his servants.
5. With the help of modern technology, the new study discovered that the king ________.
A. died directly of a disease called malaria
B. died of complications from a broken leg
C. died of a simple cut in the broken leg
D. was bitten to death by deadly mosquitoes
6. Researchers uncovered the mystery of King Tut’s death by ________.
A. testing the King’s immune system
B. studying the walking sticks found in the tomb
C. performing experiments on mosquitoes
D. applying DNA tests and electronic scan technology
7. The passage mainly tells us about ________.
A. a different answer to King Tut’s death
B. a famous boy king in ancient Egypt
C. a treasure-filled tomb discovered in Egypt
D. a team of researchers studying ancient tombs
C
In the 1960s, while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that, oddly, had not troubled anyone before: he couldn’t find the park’s volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature —that’s what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Christiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.
Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone（圆锥体）shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting magma（岩浆）piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943, a Mexican
farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second less known type of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole, the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christiansen couldn’t find the caldera anywhere.
Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone.
A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors’ centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park —2.2 million acres —was caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across —much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.
8. What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone?
A. Its complicated geographical features.
B. Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.
C. The mysterious history of the park.
D. The exact location of the volcano.
9. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The shapes of volcanoes.
B. The impacts of volcanoes.
C. The activities of volcanoes.
D. The heights of volcanoes.
10. What does the underlined word “blow-up” in the last paragraph most probably mean?
A. Hot-air balloon.
B. Digital camera.
C. Big photograph.
D. Bird’s view.

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。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

It is natural for us teenagers to feel upset. 11 Here I am offering some useful suggestions.
•Move your body.
12 Have you ever noticed that you feel happier and have a sense of achievement after a good workout? That’s because working out creates endorphins —body chemicals that make us feel happy. No matter how low you are feeling, your mood will get a well-deserved boost（改善）after a workout. Exercise also helps you keep your heart in shape, makes you stronger and helps you stay at a healthy weight. And exercise is totally fun —and it’s great for your self-esteem, too.
•Talk about it.
13 Friends’ ears can be a great source of support since you’re all in the same boat. And don’t forget your mom —she was once a teenager as well and may understand more than you realize. Even talking to your pet can help —just saying things out loud can help you see things differently and calm you down.
•Laugh a lot.
Humour can rescue you from an upset moment or make you feel better when you’re in an unpleasant mood.
No matter what’s going on, the ability to laugh at yourself and your situation is really important. 14 It’s true! Using your smile muscles tells your brain to make more endorphins and that boosts your mood.
•Cry —it’s okay!
Sometimes the only way to get out of your feelings is to cry —so go ahead! Shut yourself in your room and cry your eyes out! No one says you have to be happy all the time. 15
A. Why not pack up your suitcase and take a trip?
B. We can’t say enough good things about exercise.
C. But still we should find ways to manage our feelings.
D. So smile at whatever is happening and choose to be happy.
E. And do you know just smiling can help better your mood?
F. When you are done, you’ll be ready to face the world again.
G. Don’t hold in all those feelings until you are ready to explode.

Just Listen
I suspect that the most basic and powerful way to connect with another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our 16 , and especially if it’s given from the 17 . When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but 18 them. Just take it 19 . Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than 20 it.
One of my patients told me that when she 21 to tell her story, people often 22 to tell her that they once had something just like what happened to her. Subtly（微妙地）, her pain became a story about themselves. 23 she stopped talking to most people. She was just to 24 . We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let him know that we understand, we move the 25 of attention to ourselves. But when we listen they know we care.
I have ever learned to 26 to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach the tissues （纸巾）27 I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them 28 , instead of taking them out of their 29 of sadness and pain. Now I just listen. When they need to cry, they find me there 30 them. This 31 thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been 32 since I was very young at school. I thought people listened only because they were too 33 to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more 34 to connect than the comforting 35 .

Li Hua 第二节读后续写（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Located in the checkroom in Union Station as I am, I see everybody that comes up the stairs. Harry came in a little over three years ago and waited at the head of the stairs for the passengers from the 9:05 train.
I remember seeing Harry that first evening. He wasn’t much more than a thin, anxious kid then. He was all dressed up and I knew he was meeting his girl and that they would be married twenty minutes after she arrived.
Well, the passengers came up and I had to get busy. I didn’t look toward the stairs again until nearly time for the 9:18 and I was very surprised to see that the young fellow was still there.
She didn’t come on the 9:18 either, nor on the 9:40, and when the passengers from the 10:02 had all arrived and left, Harry was looking pretty desperate. Pretty soon he came close to my window so I called out and asked him what she looked like.
“She’s small and dark,” he said, “and nineteen years old and very neat in the way she walks. She has a face,” he said, thinking a minute, “that has lots of spirit. I mean she can get mad but she never stays mad for long, and her eyebrows come to a little point in the middle. She’s got a brown fur, but maybe she isn’t wearing it.”
He showed me the telegram he’d received: ARRIVE THURSDAY. MEET ME STA TION. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. MAY. He told me she was a typist and when he telephoned her former boss, all they knew was that she left her job to get married.
Harry met every train for the next three or four days. I could see that they all thought that May had simply played a trick on him. But I never believed that, somehow.

5.【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。

根据第一段最后一句及下文的具体描述可知，一个专家小组借助现代科技（包括DNA 检测和电子扫描）发现，古埃及法老Tut死于由腿伤引起的并发症。

【解析】主旨大意题。

通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了一项新的研究发现为古埃及法老Tut的死亡提供了一种不同的解释。

8.【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“...Bob Christiansen became puzzled about. had not troubled anyone before: he couldn’t find the park’s volcano.”可知让鲍勃感到迷惑的是，他在黄石国家公园没有找到火山，即：火山的准确位置。

9.【答案】A
【解析】主旨大意题。

文章的第二段主要介绍了两种类型火山的形成过程，一种是形成圆锥体形状的火山，富士山和乞力马扎罗山就是其典型代表；另外一种是通过爆裂岩浆而形成巨大裂口的火山，而黄石国家公园恰恰就是这一种，所以本段主要讲述了火山的形态，故选A项。

10.【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。

根据第三段中的“...a nice blow-up for one of the visitors’ centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos…”可知，the photos所指的就是前面提及的blow-up，所以推断blow-up相当于photo （photograph），故选C项。

第二节
11.【答案】C
【解析】第一段是主旨段，点明就哪一方面提出建议。

各选项中只有C项（但我们还是应该找到管理情绪的方法）与上文“我们青少年感到烦恼是很自然的”衔接紧密，故为答案。

12.【答案】B
【解析】本段的建议是“让身体动起来”，也就是说要锻炼身体，空格后列举了运动的好处，B项（运动的好处真是不胜枚举）是对该建议的概括性叙述，与下文街接紧密，故为答案。

13.【答案】G
【解析】本段的建议是“谈论它”，各选项中只有G项（别把不良情绪憋在心里，直到爆发）与本段的建议相关，故为答案。

【解析】本段的建议是“多笑笑”，再结合空格后的“It’s true!”可知所填句子应该是一个问句，由此推断选E项（你知道只是笑一笑就能有助于改善心情吗？）。

15.【答案】F
【解析】本段的建议是“哭出来，没事的”，开头提到“有时从情绪中走出来的唯一方法就是哭，那就放声哭吧”，F项（哭完之后，你就准备好再次面对世界了）与本段主旨一致，故为答案。

二、
第一节
16.【答案】C
【解析】作者认为和别人沟通的最基本、最有力的方式是聆听只需聆听，而聆听需要全神贯注，“注意（attention）”对方说的内容。

17.【答案】D
【解析】聆听需要集中精力，尤其需要发自“内心（heart）”。

18.【答案】B
【解析】当人们说话时，我们没有必要做任何事情，“聆听（listen to）”即可。

【解析】上文讲述的是要专心聆听对方的话，只要去领会对方所有的话语。

take in理解，领会；take up占据；take off脱掉，起飞；take away带走。

20.【答案】D
【解析】上文强调的是聆听的重要性，由此可知聆听对方的倾诉大多数时候比“理解（understanding）”对方的话的意思更重要。

下一段的最后两句也是线索提示。

21.【答案】B
【解析】根据本句后半部分中的内容可知她“试图（try）”讲述自己的故事。

manage to do sth.表示“设法做成某事”，强调的是成功的结果；C、D两项的意思基本相同，可排除。

22.【答案】B
【解析】当她试图讲述自己的故事时，人们经常“打断（interrupt）”她，告诉她他们曾经有过类似的经历。

23.【答案】A
【解析】由于她的话经常被别人打断，“最终（eventually）”她不再和大多数人交谈。

C项表示“彻底地”。

过于绝对。

24.【答案】C
【解析】她不再和大多数人交谈，最终封闭了自己，自然非常“孤独（lonely）”
25.【答案】B
【解析】我们打断别人的谈话，让他们知道我们理解他们时。

就把注意的“焦点（focus）”转移到我们自己身上了。

26.【答案】A
【解析】作者学会了仅仅通过聆听来回应哭泣的人。

respond to对……作出反应。

27.【答案】C
【解析】作者以前是递给对方纸巾，“直到（until）”后来意识到这样做可能是另一种将对方关在悲痛中的方式。

如今作者只是聆听。

28.【答案】A
【解析】作者发现递给对方纸巾的结果是把对方关在悲痛中，让对方的痛苦无处释放。

shut down关闭；shut away藏起来，隔离；shut in把……关在房间里；shut off停止运转。

29.【答案】D
【解析】作者意识到递给对方纸巾不能让对方摆脱悲伤和痛苦的“经历（experience）”
30.【答案】A
【解析】他们需要哭泣时就应该发泄出来，只要发觉作者和他们在一起即可。

with和……在一起。

31.【答案】B
【解析】上文强调的是聆听，聆听应是非常“简单的（simple）事情”。

32.【答案】C
【解析】作者如今意识到聆听是最好的交流方式，这与作者小时候被“教（teach）”的相违背。

33.【答案】A
【解析】作者过去认为人们聆听是因为他们太“羞（shy）”于表达或者不知道答案。

34.【答案】C
【解析】文章强调的是聆听的重要性，此处与第一段第一句中的powerful相呼应。

35.【答案】D
【解析】上文叙述的是聆听的益处，与本句中silence相对应的自然是“话语（words）”。

此处无声胜有声。

Li Hua 第二节【答案】One possible version:
After about two weeks, Harry said he had to get a job and began to work as a clerk for Toy, the owner of the
magazine stand. We never spoke of May anymore, but I noticed that Harry always saw every person who came up the stairs. Then came yesterday. I heard a cry and a lot of things falling. Harry jumped over the counter and grabbed a girl not ten feet from my window. She was small and dark and her eyebrows came to a little point in the middle.
For a while they just hung there to each other laughing and crying. She’d say a few words like, “It was the bus station I meant” and he’d kiss her speechless and tell her the many things he had done to find her. What apparently had happened three years before was that May had come by bus, not by train, and in her telegram she meant “bus station”, not “railroad station”. She had waited at’ the bus station for days and had spent all her money trying to find Harry. Finally she got a job typing near the bus station.
