单元质量评估(二)时间：100分钟分数：120分第卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。ATwo inseparable (形影不离的) friends，Sam and Jason，met with an accident on their way to Boston City.The following morning，Jason woke up blind and Sam was still unconscious.Dr Berkeley was standing at his bedside looking at his health chart and medications with a thoughtful expression on his face.When he saw Sam awake，he beamed at him and asked，“How are you feeling today，Sam？”Sam tried to put up a brave face and smiled back saying，“Absolutely wonderful，Doctor.I am very grateful for all that you have done for me.” Dr Berkeley was moved at Sams deed.All that he could say was，“You are a very brave man，Sam.And God will make it up to you in one way or another.” While he was moving on to the next patient，Sam called back at him almost pleading (请求)，“Promise me you wont tell Jason anything.”“You know I wont do that.Trust me.” and then walked away.Months later when Jason had recuperated (恢复) considerably，he stopped hanging around with Sam.He felt discouraged and embarrassed to spend time with a disabled person like Sam.Sam was lonely and depressed and things went from bad to worse.One day Sam died in despair.When Jason was called on his burial，Dr Berkeley gave a letter to him with an expressionless face and said，“This is for you，Jason.Sam had asked me to give it to you when he was gone.”In the letter he had said，“Dear Jason，I have kept my promise in the end to lend you my eyes if anything had happened to them.Now there is nothing more that I can ask from God than the fact that you will see the world through my eyes.You will always be my best friend.Sam.”When he had finished reading，Dr Berkeley said，“I had promised Sam to keep his sacrifice he made a secret from you.But now I wish I didnt stick to it because I dont think it was worthy it.”【语篇解读】一对形影不离的好朋友在一次事故之后发生的故事，令人唏嘘。1What happened to Jason during the accident?AHe was only slightly hurt.BHe got separated from Sam.CHe lost his sight.DHe was hurt in both legs.解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，詹森在车祸中眼睛受伤导致双目失明。答案：C2What did Jason do when he had recuperated?AHe deserted his friend.BHe tried to help Sam recover.CHe tried to learn about Sams secret.DHe stopped hanging out with anybody.解析：细节理解题。根据第三段可知，詹森因为萨姆成了残疾人而抛弃了他。答案：A3What did Sam do for Jason?AHe protected Jason during the accident.BHe lent his own eyes to Jason.CHe begged the doctor to save Jasons life.DHe cared for Jason in the hospital.解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句可知，萨姆将自己的眼睛捐给了詹森。答案：B4Which of the following could best describe Jasons feeling after he got the letter?AThankful.BMoved.CConfused. DRegretful.解析：推理判断题。萨姆为詹森做出了巨大牺牲，但詹森却因萨姆的残疾抛弃了他，因此在得知真相后，詹森应该感到非常愧疚。答案：DBI used to know nothing about fairy tales (童话故事)To improve my reading skills，my mother gave me books that are a little bit difficult for me to understand.I didnt even know that fairy tales existed until I attended a public school at the age of eight.Of course once I found out about books of this type，I would read them as quickly as I could.Again and again，I begged my mother to take me to the library and let me choose a few.Finally，my request was granted (同意)After our return from the library，I started reading them eagerly and energetically，one after another.And I tried to put myself in the female characters shoes.I found she had to suffer before the handsome prince came to her rescue，and then they would live happily ever after.I asked my mother why she never let me know about fairy tales.Looking me in the eyes，she told me that life is not like a fairy tale.There are good and bad things that will happen through life.In the end though，there is not a man that will come and “save” us.We do not need to be saved；we instead want someone in our lives to share those good moments and bad ones；we want someone we can rely on and also he or she can rely on us.Life is not about “living happily ever after”What then is life in Moms opinion? Life is the boy finding he loves every little thing about you，even the annoying (使人烦恼的) things.He holds your hands and says “come with me” and you live，laugh together.But things are not going to be perfect.You still have to face difficulties together，working hard for your relationship.【语篇解读】人人都向往完美的童话世界，然而，在不完美的现实生活中，幸福却要靠我们自己努力去争取。5What happened to the author after she attended a public school?AShe started to like reading.BShe was crazy about fairy tales.CHer mother always took her to the library.DHer mother didnt allow her to read books of fairy tales.解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Again and again，I begged my mother to take me to the library and let me choose a few.After our return from the library，I started reading them eagerly and energetically，one after another.”可知，作者对童话故事十分着迷。答案：B6Whats the authors understanding of fairy tales at first?AThey reflect part of the real world.BThey are unreal but worth reading.CThe major characters always have a happy ending.DThe major characters will be rewarded for their kindness.解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I found she had to suffer before the handsome prince came to her rescue，and then they would live happily ever after.”可知，作者发现童话故事中的主人公总是能有一个圆满的结局。答案：C7What does the authors mother think of fairy tales?AA must for her kid.BUnnecessary for her kid.CEasy for her kid to understand.DHelpful in building her kids character.解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I asked my mother why she never let me know about fairy tales.Looking me in the eyes，she told me that life is not like a fairy tale.”可知，作者的母亲曾经避免让作者接触童话故事，因为她觉得人生不同于童话故事。因此可以推知，作者的母亲觉得作者没有必要去读童话故事。答案：B8The authors mother intends to explain that _Alife is not perfectBno pain，no gainClife is about sharingDone needs to live on his/her own解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Life is the boy finding he loves every little thing about you.and you live，laugh together.But things are not going to be perfect.You still have to face difficulties together，working hard for your relationship.”可知，即使人们与人生的伴侣走到了一起，之后发生的事情未必尽如人意，两个人还要共同面对困难，努力维系这份感情。由此可以推知，作者的母亲意在说明：与童话世界不同，现实中的生活并不完美，总会有问题需要我们去处理。答案：ACStarting high school life can be extremely exciting and at the same time nervewracking.You may worry about all these things what classes to take，what to wear on the first day of school and what will everyone think of you.But so far high school has been the best experience for me ever.On my first day of high school，I asked a senior where my class was，and he told me it was on the fourth floor，next to the pool.I found out five minutes later that we didnt even have a fourth floor and had no pool either! Besides that event，I didnt have any trouble with the older kids.I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load and the size of the school.I went from fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours，so I had to learn time management pretty quickly! Our class size was around 550，so being exposed (暴露) to so many new people was a big change.Getting involved in clubs，sports，music and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every gradeits always useful to have an upperclassman friend!The best suggestion I can give about the four years you spend in high school is to learn things for the sake of learning，not just to get a good grade.There have been so many tests that Ive crammed (突击式学习) on the night before and got an A，but now I dont remember anything.Ive changed that this year，and I enjoy school so much more.Relating to academics，dont take easy classes just to have a simple year.If you have a choice between “AP Chemistry” and “Racquet Sports”，the first will prove to be more useful!【语篇解读】高中生开始高中生活是全新的经历。作者通过自己的经历来告诉刚刚进入高中的学生如何来适应高中生活。9On the first day of high school，the author _Afailed to adapt himself to a new environmentBfound it was hard for him to get on with new classmatesCwas teased by a senior studentDlost his way in the schoolyard解析：文章第二段主要讲述了作者入学第一天被一位高年级同学愚弄的经历，故选C。答案：C10Which of the following is TRUE about the authors advice on high school life?A. Making as many upperclassmen friends as possible.BTaking an active part in various afterschool activities.CTrying to obtain useful knowledge instead of getting good grades.DChoosing easy but useful courses instead of practical ones.解析：根据最后一段中第一句“The best suggestion I can give about the four years you spend in high school is to learn things for the sake of learning，not just to get a good grade.”可知，作者认为高中学习的目的应该是为获得知识而学习而非考高分，故C正确。答案：C11In writing the text，the author intends to _Atell others his firstday experience at high schoolBexpress his opinions on high school educationCdescribe what can be learnt at high schoolDshare his life and thoughts at high school解析：作者回忆自己高中生活的一些经历和感悟，希望和读者分享，故D符合题意。答案：DD“Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice.Gifts are easytheyre given after all.Choices can be hard.”Jeff BezosI got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago.I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2，300 percent per year.Id never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast，and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me.I had just turned 30 years old，and Id been married for a year.I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most startups dont，and I wasnt sure what to expect.MacKenzie told me I should go for it.As a young boy，Id been a garage inventor.Id always wanted to be an inventor，and she wanted me to follow my passion.I was working at a financial firm in New York with a bunch of very smart people，and I had a brilliant boss that I admired very much.I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet.He took a long walk with me in Central Park，listened carefully to me，and finally said，“That sounds like a really good idea，but it would be an even better idea for someone that didnt already have a good job.”That logic made some sense to me，and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision.It really was a difficult choice，but ultimately (最后)，I decided I had to give it a shot.I didnt think Id regret trying and failing.And_I_suspected_I_would_always_be_haunted_by_the_decision_not_to_try_at_allAfter much consideration，I took the less safe path to follow my passion，and Im proud of that choice.For all of us，in the end，we are our choices.【语篇解读】聪明是一种天赋，而善良是一种选择。天赋来得很容易，选择则很难，但恰恰是我们的选择塑造了我们的人生。12What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore ?AHis dream of being an inventor.BThe support
