新视野第三册4单元测试（含答案）Part 1 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (每小题：4 分)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog.In 1913, the United States government introduced a bold, new nickel. James Earle Fraser said his goal was to design a coin that would be truly American. In his search for symbols, he found none more distinctive than the American buffalo. Choosing to show a Native American on the other side of the coin, Fraser said the new nickel had perfect unity of theme. Production of Buffalo or Indian Head nickels began in February 1913. A single coining press at the Philadelphia Mint (造币厂) started turning out the nickels at the rate of 120 a minute. But after the first examples were introduced, The New York Times said they were bad. Other critics said that the coins rough surfaces would encourage counterfeiters (造假币的人). But the most serious complaint about the nickel had to do with its inability to stand heavy use. One coin collectors magazine predicted that the slightest wear would remove the date and the words Five Cents beyond understanding. In 1938, the Government staged a competition for a new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson. According to a news item of the day, the Department of Indian Affairs didnt receive a single complaint from Native Americans about the design change. Collectors didnt seem to mind either. 1.In the eyes of Fraser, a _ is the most distinctive.A. nickelB. buffaloC.

My enthusiasm for the greeting card business grew quickly. All along, I had been drawing fantasy art: monsters, dragons, castles, etc. With the birth of my first son in 1980, the content of my work went through a pretty dramatic change. Fantasy went out of the window, and I began to illustrate reality. In the spring of 1983, we, The Mary Engelbreit Greeting Card Company, took our 12 little designs to New York to exhibit them at a national card show. I remember how big the show was. I just couldnt get over it. I had no idea there were so many different card companies. And it was exciting because our 12 little cards were getting a lot of attention in that huge place! Ive been told one of the reasons we had so much success at that show is because my card style was different than anything else at the market. I typically draw complicated details and use deep colors and funny or meaningful quotations. By 1985, many greeting card publishers started noticing my art, and two of them approached me with licensing contracts. I have always believed if you choose a job you love, youll never work a day in your life. If you ask about the mystery of my success, all I can say is this: to imagine is everything! 6.Before the birth of her first son, Mary Engelbreits cards focused on _.A. realityB. daily lifeC. fantasyD. dragons7.The New York show was so big that Engelbreit _.A. couldnt walk through itB. couldnt believe itC. couldnt stay to the end of itD. couldnt understand it8.Engelbreits cards were successful because _.A. they were distinctive in styleB. they had a thank-you sentenceC. they had complicated detailsD. they were rich in color9.A couple of greeting card companies _.A. presented Engelbreit with contractsB. asked Engelbreit to make her cards more distinctiveC. wanted Engelbreit to use more meaningful quotationsD. thought her cards were to complicated10.According to Mary Engelbreit, the key to success is _.A. devotionB. opportunityC. good luckD. imagination6.C 7.B 8.A 9.A 10.D6.C 7.B 8.A 9.A 10.DQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.In the early days of sea travel, seamen on long voyages lived exclusively on salted meat and biscuits. Many of them died of scurvy (坏血病), a blood disease which causes swollen gums, livid (铅色的) white spots on the flesh and general exhaustion. On one occasion, in 1535, an English ship arrived in Newfoundland with its crew seriously ill. The mens lives were saved by Iroquois Indians (易洛魁印第安人) who gave them vegetable leaves to eat. Gradually it came to be realized that scurvy was caused by something lacking in the sailors diet. Captain Cook, on his long voyages of discovery to Australia and New Zealand, established the fact that scurvy could be warded off by the giving fresh fruit to the sailors. Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious diseases if certain important elements are missing. These elements are called vitamins. Quite a number of such substances are known and they are given letters to identify them, A, B, C, D, and so on. Different diseases are associated with a lack of particular vitamins. Even a slight lack of Vitamin C, for example, the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and vegetables, is thought to increase our chances of catching colds. The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruit and green vegetables. It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say, during the extended periods of religious fasting (斋戒), or when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to supply the missing vitamins. 11.Which of the following happens because of scurvy?A. People become hungry.B. People lose blood.C. People become livid.D. People feel pain in their gums.12.How would the sailors ward off scurvy on long trips?A. They took fresh fruit with them.B. They stopped in places to relax.C. They often found Indians to help.D. They ate vegetable leaves regularly.13.Which vitamin helps protect us against colds?A. Vitamin A.B. Vitamin B.C. Vitamin C.D. Vitamin D.14.What supplies all the vitamins we need to be healthy?A. Any one of the different sorts of green vegetables.B. Diets like those taken by religious people.C. Certain important elements known by letters.D. Mixed diets with different fruits and vegetables.15.When should people take vitamins?A. When wanting to be healthy.B. When joining a religion.C. When dieting to lose weight.D. When protecting against sickness.11.D 12.A 13.C 14.D 15.CPart 2 Cloze (with four choices provided)(每小题：1 分)Directions: Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices given for each blank.Questions 1 to 20 are based on the following passage.What is behind the symbols of American civilization?
