单元质量评估(二)时间：100分钟分数：120分第一部分阅读理解(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。AMy elder brother Steve gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult after our father died when I was six.For instance，Steve taught me to face the results of my behaviour.Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game，Steve took time to ask me what had happened.When I explained that my baseball had broken Mrs Holts basement window，Steve encouraged me to confess to it.After all，I should have been playing in the park and not in the path between buildings.Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs Holt，I offered to pay for the window if she would return my ball.I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred thing.After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifthgrade classroom，I wanted to keep it，but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else.I returned the pen to my teacher，Mrs Davids，and she praised me.Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me，his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind.When I was twelve，I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun.Excited with my accuracy，I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look.I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground.Then in a dead，quiet voice，he asked，“Did it hurt you first，Mark？”I didnt know what to answer.He continued with his eyes firm，“The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is whether it hurts you first.And then you think a long，long time.”I really felt terrible then，but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.【语篇解读】本文主要记叙了作者在哥哥的陪伴下成长的经历：哥哥鼓励作者勇于承担打碎窗户的责任，把捡到的钢笔交给老师，哥哥还教育作者尊重生命。1What does the underlined word “confess” in Paragraph 2 mean?ACover.BAdmit.CDeny. DAgree.解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“When I explained that my baseball had broken Mrs Holts basement window，Steve encouraged me to.I offered to pay for the window if she would return my ball.”可推断，作者在打棒球时打碎了霍尔特夫人地下室的窗户，哥哥鼓励作者向霍尔特夫人承认错误，故画线词意为“承认”。答案：B2How did the author feel when he faced Mrs Holt?AHe was unwilling. BHe felt frightened.CHe appeared challenging.DHe was lighthearted.解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs Holt，I offered to pay for the window if she would return my ball.”可知，作者在向霍尔特夫人解释情况时双腿打颤，这表明作者当时很害怕。答案：B3Which was the most important lesson the author learned from his brother?ACare for the property of others.BThe value of honesty.CResponsibility for ones actions.DRespect for living things.解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段“Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me，his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind.”可知，在所有的教育中，最令作者难忘的是哥哥对生命的尊重。答案：DBThey are one of the best rugby teams in the world.The players of the All Blacks，New Zealands national rugby team，are strong，smart and fast.But，in fact，they win many of their games before the first whistle even blows.Before the game，during warmups，the All Blacks players gather in a semicircle.They stand with their captain in front of them and begin to dance.They hit their arms against their legs.They lift their feet into the air and slam them into the ground.They stick out their tongues and show scream.You may think theyre crazy.And that is just what they want you to think.The rugby players perform the haka，which is a traditional Maori(毛利人) dance.The Maoris are the native people of New Zealand and this dance has been used as a war dance since the 19th century.Warriors originally performed the war dance before battles to show off their strength in order to intimidate the enemy.Rugby is a violent game that many fans have compared to war.What better way is there to get excited before the game than doing a war dance?The 19th century French theorist Ernest Renan，one of the first real theorists who looked into the idea of nationalism，described the “nation” as “largescale togetherness，made up of the feeling of sacrifices that one has made in the past and of those that one is prepared to make in the future”And New Zealands haka is one of the worlds most perfect acts of nationalism.“The haka，in its intensity，reflects it all：first，the solidarity(团结) of warriorsboth of Maoris and nonMaoris backgroundsfighting for a common future.And then a recognition of the almost sacred past，”The Washington Post noted.Today in New Zealand，the haka is still performed at many different gatherings and celebrations，a connection to Maori ancestors that has continued despite colonization.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了新西兰的哈卡舞，这是一种能够展示力量和团结的传统舞蹈。4What is the main idea of the passage?AMaori people，native New Zealanders.BThe popularity of rugby in New Zealand.CA traditional dance goes on today in New Zealand.DThe magic of warmup before rugby matches in New Zealand.解析：主旨大意题。根据文章关键词haka可知，本文主要介绍了新西兰的哈卡舞。答案：C5The underlined word “intimidate” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “_”Athreaten BdissatisfyCamaze Drevenge解析：词义猜测题。结合画线词所在句中的“show off their strength”和“enemy”可知，intimidate意为“恐吓；威胁”。答案：A6Why do the All Blacks players perform the haka before a rugby match starts?ABecause they are crazy.BBecause they want to please their fans.CBecause it can let them be in high spirits.DBecause it is a tradition passed from their ancestors.解析：细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“What better way is there to get excited before the game than doing a war dance？”可知，新西兰橄榄队跳哈卡舞热身是为了鼓舞士气。答案：C7What can we learn about the haka from the passage?AThe haka is only performed before rugby matches in New Zealand.BThe haka is a good way to show nationalism in New Zealand.CThe haka is a symbol of fighting in the past and future.DThe haka has helped the New Zealands national rugby team win at all times.解析：推理判断题。根据第六段中的“And New Zealands haka is one of the worlds most perfect acts of nationalism.”可知，哈卡舞充分展现了新西兰的民族精神。答案：BCI was about 5 when I first heard the word “Greenland”，and my interest grew from there.Finally，after decades，I decided to go.When I finally arrived，the place，at first glance，was clearly misnamed：The east coast of Greenland was an expanse (宽阔的区域) of ice and snow，with no sign of human habitation.One of my purposes of going to Greenland was to make contact with some native Greenlanders.I didnt know how I would achieve this，but success came in an unexpected way.When I arrived at the Illunnguujuk Hostel，where I had reserved a bed，a young couple and their baby were out front，enjoying the sun and unusual warmth.Greenlanders speak their own Inuit language and learn Danish in school，and many also speak English well.The young woman，however，was not one of these.Her English turned out to be anticlimacticWhen I identified myself，her eyes widened.Another traveller had arrived earlier and，mistaking him for me，they had given him my bed.There was no more space in the hostel.“But dont worry，”she said，as she threw herself into cleaning a tiny house the family owned.“This is for you，”she said.And as if that werent enough，she invited me to eat supper with her family.That evening I sat down to a dinner of fresh fish with a loving，happy native family.When I first set foot in Greenland I found myself all but shocked by the emptiness，the vastness，and the silence.I had decided that I would probably never return.And then I was taken into this Greenlandic home.I can now say that even cold，empty，and silent scenery is worth visiting，so long as one has a warm and welcoming place to go to.【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者在格陵兰岛的旅行经历和感受。8What did the author intend to do in Greenland?AGet a parttime job.BLive with a native family.CMake some native contact.DDo business with the natives.解析：细节理解题。由第三段中的“One of my purposes of going to Greenland was to make contact with some native Greenlanders”可知，作者希望能在格陵兰岛和当地人有所接触。答案：C9What does the underlined word “anticlimactic” in Paragraph 4 mean?ASimple. BModern.COutstanding. DDisappointing.解析：词义猜测题。由上文中的“speak English well. however，was not one of these”可推断，这位年轻女性的英语不好。由此推测该词意为“令人失望的”。答案：D10The author lost his bed in the hostel because of _Athe language barrier Ba misunderstandingCa wrong address Dthe high price解析：细节理解题。由第五段中的“Another traveller had arrived earlier and，mistaking him for me，they had given him my bed”可知，由于认错人，作者的床位被他人占用。答案：B11What made the authors visiting Greenland worthwhile?ATasting the local food.BHelping a local family.CMeeting friendly people.DEnjoying the great scenery.解析：推理判断题。由最后两段可知，由于床位的问题，当地家庭的热情让作者在冰雪覆盖的格陵兰岛找到了温暖，从而使他的格陵兰岛之行有了意义。答案：CDIt is widely known that any English conversation begins with the weather.Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr Johnsons famous comment that “When two Englishmen meet，their first talk is of weather.”Though Johnsons observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago，most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weatherspeak.Bill Bryson，for example，concludes that，as the English weather is not at all exciting，the obsession with it can hardly be understood.He argues that “To an outsider，the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.”Simply，the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.Jeremy Paxman，however，disagrees with Bryson，arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive.Bryson is wrong，he says，because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena.“The interest is less in the phenomena themselves，but in uncertainty.”According to him，the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weatherspeak among the English.Both commentators，somehow，are missing the point.The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all.English weatherspeak is a system of signs，which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other.Everyone knows conversations starting with weatherspeak are not requests for weather data.Rather，they are routine greetings，conversation starters or the blank “fillers”In other words，English weatherspeak is a means of social bonding.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。由于英国的天气是多变的，所以英国人谈论天气被认为是见面或者搭讪的合理开场白，本文就此从不同的角度进行了解释。12The author mentions Dr Johnsons comment to show that _Amost commentators agree with Dr JohnsonBDr Johnson is famous for his weather observationCthe comment was accurate two hundred years agoDEnglish conversations usually start with the weather解析：推理判断题。本文第一句话就给出了答案，作者提到Dr Johnson的评论旨在说明英国人见面总是以谈论天气开始，故答案为D项。答案：D13What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?AA social trend.BAn emotional state.CA historical concept.DAn unknown phenomenon.解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句话句意“那些不常见、难以预料的天气在不列颠群岛几乎是不被人知道的”可知，英国的天气根本不令人兴奋，随之而来的一种情绪也是几乎不能被理解的。obsession可以理解成是一种谈论天气的“强迫症”，故它是一种情绪的状态，所以答案为B项。答案：B14According to the passage，Jeremy Paxman believes that _ABill Bryson has little knowledge of the weatherBthere is nothing special about the English weatherCthe English weather attracts people to the British IslesDEnglish people talk about the weather for its uncertainty解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段杰里米所说的话可知，他反驳布赖森的观点，他认为英国的天气是多变而又不确定的，这吸引着英国人和外来者，所以答案为D项。答案：D15What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?ATo explain what English weatherspeak is about.BTo analyze misconceptions about the English weather.CTo find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.DTo convince people that the English weather is changeable.解析：意图判断题。根据第一段的介绍和最后一段的总结可知，本文主要是解析英国人的weatherspeak到底是关于什么的。所以答案为A项。答案：A第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分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佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Should schools allow Halloween celebrations?Halloween is one of the most celebrated holidays in the United States._16_Many schools also celebrate the holiday by having kids dress up in costumes (服装)，take part in costume shows，and
