單元綜合檢測(三).閱讀理解(共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分)ANew Years Day is worth celebrating and you probably celebrate New Years Day together with your family and friends, enjoying drinks and watching the ball drop. If youre lucky, perhaps you share a kiss with that special one when the clock hits 00：00am. But how New Years Day would look in another country? Listed below are four of the top ten “Unique New Year Traditions from Around the World.”1. Breaking Dishes on Neighbors DoorDenmarkA strange Danish New Year tradition, depending on how you look at it, is throwing dishes at neighbors door. The family with the tallest tower of broken plates, glasses, cups and other crockery is considered to be the luckiest person because it symbolizes their large crowd of loyal friends.2. Talking to SpiritsMexicoMexicans strongly believe that they can communicate with the souls of their dead loved ones. New Years Eve is considered the best time to communicate with dead spirits to convey a message or ask for guidance. Taos Inn, in New Mexico for example, offers 15 minutes session of spiritualism and deep thought for $15. Not a bad price for some helpful guidance!3. Wearing Polka DotsPhilippinesImagine people wearing polka dots and dining room tables full of round shaped food and fruits on one single day of the year in Philippines. And they believe that this will bring them prosperity by associating the round dots to coins and wealth.4. Burning Scarecrow DummyEcuadorEcuador has a custom of crafting scarecrows and burning them. As midnight approaches, gathering outside, each family burns their own scarecrow filled with newspapers and pieces of wood. The tradition says that this destroys all the bad things that took place in the past 12 months. The scarecrow also scares away bad luck, which in turn, fills their new year with luck and happiness.The world is large but different. People of all nations may celebrate New Years Day much differently, but a lot of general themes are to be seen. We all want to start a new, fresh year with renewed enthusiasm and hope no matter what happened during the past year. We all want to be happier, find love, renew friendships, increase our wealth and also hope for a little extra luck in the coming new year.【語篇解讀】本文主要敘述了丹麥、墨西哥、菲律賓、厄瓜多爾這四個國家慶祝新年的方式。但不論以哪種方式慶祝新年，人們都是期盼一個更美好、更幸福的來年。1People generally celebrate New Years Day in the following ways except Asharing the time with their family Bgetting together with their friendsCparticipating in the ball drop Dspending the time with their loversC細節(jié)理解題。根據首段“you probably celebrate New Years Day together with your family and friends, enjoying drinks and watching the ball drop.”可知，你可能會和家人、朋友喝飲料并觀看ball watch一起慶祝新年，而不是參與(participate in)the ball drop，故選C項。根據“If youre lucky, perhaps you share a kiss with that special one when the clock hits 00：00am”可知，與愛人一起度過時間也是慶祝新年的方式之一。2Which of the following cant describe the 4 unique New Year traditions properly?AThe more broken plates, glasses, cups you have at your door, the more good friends you have according to Danish New Year tradition.BBy paying $15 in Taos Inn, Mexicans can communicate with the souls of their dead loved ones.CWearing polka dots can help people in Philippines to gain wealth.DPeople from Ecuador make and burn scarecrows to win good luck and happiness.B細節(jié)理解題。由第三段“Taos Inn, in New Mexico for example, offers 15 minutes session of spiritualism and deep thought for $15.”可知，在Taos旅店人們并不是真的可以與已故的至愛之人的亡靈交流，故B項敘述不恰當。由第二段“The family with the tallest tower of broken plates, glasses, cups and other crockery is considered to be the luckiest person because it symbolizes their large crowd of loyal friends.”可知，在丹麥，誰家門口摔碎的盤子、杯子等越多，誰的朋友就越多，故A項敘述準確。由第四段內容可知，菲律賓人認為穿著圓點圖案的衣服會給他們帶來財富，故C項符合原文意思。根據第五段內容可知，在厄瓜多爾，人們會制作并焚燒稻草人以求帶來好運和幸福，故D項內容與原文意思吻合。3. What can you infer from the last paragraph?ANo matter how we celebrate New Year, increasing our wealth is very important.BThe traditions will be changed with the time going by.CWe seldom experience different traditions to celebrate New Year.DCelebrating New Years Day means looking forward to a happier and better coming year.D推理判斷題。由最后一段“We all want to start a new, fresh year with renewed enthusiasm and hope no matter what happened during the past year. We all want to be happier, find love, renew friendships, increase our wealth and also hope for a little extra luck in the coming new year.”可知，盡管人們慶祝新年的方式不同，但都期盼來年更幸福、更美好，故選D項。BPhilo Farnsworth is not_a name most people know. But his work changed the way we learn，the way we live，and even the way we think. Philo Farnsworth is responsible for one of the 20th century：television.Philo Farnsworth was born in America in 1906.He was interested in science and technology at an early age. When he was twelve years old, he built an electric motor for his familys washing machine. When he was fourteen, he was already giving a lot of thought to electrons(電子). As he was driving the familys horsedrawn plowing machine, he noticed the evenly spaced rows of the potato fields. This sight gave him the idea that electrons could scan(掃描) an image one row at a timean idea that was the key to electronic television.By the time he was twentyone years old, Farnsworth had started his own company and had managed to build the worlds first electronic television. It was a very simple device (設備). But after years of hard work，Farnsworth was able to introduce the kind of television we now use.Farnsworth was a great inventor，but lived an unhappy life. He had a legal battle with the company, Radio Corporation of America(RCA) over who the real inventor of the TV was.He won the case，but the government stopped companies from making TVs during the war, so Farnsworth didnt make much money from the invention.When Farnsworth was young, he imagined television as a convenient way for distant audiences to enjoy lectures by famous professors, or entertainment by the best symphonies (交響樂) and ballets.When he was older, television became much more popular, but he was very disappointed in the silly programs on TV. He even told his own son，“Theres nothing on it worthwhile, and were not going to watch it in this household. ”【語篇解讀】本文對電視機的真正發(fā)明者Philo Farnsworth進行了介紹。4What can we learn about Philo Farnsworth?AHe had a strong physical advantage.BHe had strong powers of observation.CHe had a strong interest in journalism.DHe had a strong sense of responsibility.B推理判斷題。根據第二段最后兩句可知，他具有敏銳的觀察力。5The underlined sentence showed Farnsworth was legally recognized as Athe real founder of RCABthe real inventor of the TVCthe greatest inventor of his timeDthe organizer of the battle with RCAB句意理解題。劃線部分的the case指代上文的“a legal battle with the company.(RCA)over who the real inventor of the TV was”。由此可知，贏了案件的Farnsworth被認定是電視機的真正發(fā)明者。6The last paragraph mainly tells us that Farnsworth Adidnt like to watch TV programsBcouldnt afford to buy a TV setCcouldnt listen to famous lecturesDdidnt like what television becameD段落大意題。根據最后一段倒數第二句中的“he was very disappointed in the silly programs on TV”可知，電視節(jié)目后來的發(fā)展與Farnsworth最初的設想背道而馳，再由他說的“Theres nothing on it worthwhile”可知，他不喜歡后來電視變成的樣子。7What is the best title for the text?AHow Did Philo Farnsworth Invent Television?BWhat Caused Philo Farnsworth to Invent Television?CPhilo Farnsworth: the Unhappy Father of TelevisionDPhilo Farnsworth：a Wellknown Scientist and InventorC標題歸納題。本文旨在介紹電視機的真正發(fā)明者Philo Farnsworth，再由倒數第二段第一句中的“but lived an unhappy life”可知，C項作標題符合文意。CAlibaba started taking the lead in China by connecting big Chinese manufacturers(制造商) with big buyers across the world.Its businesstobusiness site，A allowed business to buy almost everything.Alibabas advantage wasnt hard to judge: size.Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards.Its market attracts 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a yearand Alibaba is just the middleman.It encourages people to use its marketsnot charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience.I moved to Beijing a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted.“Youre looking for what exactly? Why not try it？” my Chinese teacher asked me one day.With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.Alibabas original businesstobusiness model now is second to consumer buying.Chinese retail(零售) buying makes up 80% of Alibabas profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things youll ever find.T is Alibabas other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the US.is how China has gone beyond traditional shoppingbigbox retailers especiallyin_favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites.In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet travelled，shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao.I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is.Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping.Im not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chineselanguage site.When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teachers iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.【語篇解讀】阿里巴巴原創(chuàng)的業(yè)務電子商務模型引發(fā)了中國人最大的購物方式的變化。阿里巴巴只是買方和賣方的中間商。網上購物每時每刻都在發(fā)生。8Alibabas advantage mainly lies in Aits low priceBits big sizeCits not charging small sellersDits businesstobusiness serviceB細節(jié)理解題。根據第一段的“Alibabas advantage wasnt hard to judge: size.Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards.”可知，阿里巴巴最大的優(yōu)勢在于它的大規(guī)模。故選B。9.

What can be inferred from the passage?AAlibabas businesstobusiness service earns more money than retail.BT provides more profit than Taobao.CTaobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.DThe authors Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.D推理判斷題。根據第二段的“Youre looking for what exactly？Why not try it？my Chinese teacher asked me one day.With that，my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.”和文章的最后一句“When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teachers iPad，which helps me buy goods，I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.”可知，作者的中文老師也是一個網上購物的愛好者。故選D。11.

Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience.”可知，本文主要在講述阿里巴巴影響著中國的日常購物。故選D。DIn Washington, DC, only 69 percent of public school students graduate from high school on time.Many factors influence that low rate.One of the most important ones is whether the people around the students expect them to succeed.So, for the past 40 years, a DC organisation has stepped in to give around 10，000 students the support and positive environment they need to thrive (茁壯成長)This organisation, called Higher Achievement, provides students with a welcoming space, help with class work, and caring teachers.More than 95 percent of students who complete Higher Achievement graduate from high school on time.Katherine Roboff is the groups executive director in the DC area.She gives several reasons for the groups success.One is timing.Higher Achievement does not work with students who are already in high school.It works with students in middle school.They start High Achievement at fifth or sixth gradein the US, that is usually age 11 or 12.Roboff says research shows that if students are doing well academically in eighth gradearound age 13they will have a greater chance of graduating from high school and going to college.In other words, what happens in middle school has a huge impact.The years between ages 10 and 13 may affect a students future more than anything that happens academically in high school.Roboff explains that students participate in Higher Achievement after school and during the summer, when public schools take a break of about two months.High Achievement students do homework, have community meetings, and work oneonone with a mentor (導師)“The purpose of the programme is to help them use those after school and summer hours to become better prepared academically and to develop their leadership skills and confidence so that by the time they get into eighth grade they are ready to get into some of the top high school.”【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文，美國華盛頓特區(qū)里只有69%的學生能夠完成高中學業(yè)，Higher Achievement給學生提供良好的環(huán)境以及有愛心的老師幫助這些學生完成學業(yè)，進入高校。12A little more than 30% of public school students in the US Adrop out of schoolBwork hard at their lessonsCcant finish school on timeDare expected to graduate from high schoolC數據計算題。根據第一句“In Washington, DC, only 69 percent of public school students graduate from high school on time.”可知美國公立學校里只有69%的學生能夠完成高中學業(yè)，也就是說超過30%的學生不能準時畢業(yè)。故C項正確。13What can we infer from the second paragraph?AHigher Achievement is a great success.BHigher Achievement works with college students.CMany students have doubts about the organisation.DHigher Achievement has spread throughout the US.C推理判斷題。根據第二段最后一句“More than 95 percent of students who complete Higher Achievement graduate from high school on time.”可知完成Higher Achievement的學生中超過百分之95的學生能夠準時高中畢業(yè)。說明Higher Achievement取得了很大的成功。故A項正確。14If students are doing well academically in eighth grade Athey are certain to go to collegeBthey are to succeed when they grow upCthey dont need any help in their studiesDthey are more likely to finish high school on timeD推理判斷題。根據第四段第一句“Roboff says research shows that if students are doing well academically in eighth gradearound age 13they will have a greater chance of graduating from high school and going to college.”可知Roboff認為如果學生在八年級的時候成績比較好，他們就會有更大的可能性準時完成高中學業(yè)，然后進入大學。故D項正確。15What is the main aim of Higher Achievement?ATo offer students advice.BTo help student get into top schools.CTo teach students how to behave at school.DTo provide students with different activities.B推理判斷題。根據第二段前兩句“So, for the past 40 years, a DC organisation has stepped in to give around 10，000 students the support and positive environment they need to thrive (茁壯成長)This organisation, called Higher Achievement, provides students with a welcoming space, help with class work, and caring teachers.”可知Higher Achievement給學生提供積極的環(huán)境以及有愛心的老師幫助這些學生完成學業(yè)，進入高校學習。故B項正確。.閱讀七選五(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)September is the month of new arrivals.International students and young professionals arrive in other
