单元测评(四)Unit 4Astronomy: the science of the stars(时间：90分钟满分：110分)第一部分阅读理解(共两节；满分30分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20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。AAllie saw a little bird, which rested on a light close to the stores ceiling.As a man left the store, the automatic (自动的) door opened. The bird flew down toward it. Allie held her breath, afraid the bird would crash into the closing door.But it didnt. It finally landed on top of a mountain of tomatojuice cans, looking nervous.Allie raced to the door, opening it. “Come on, little bird！” she cried, waving her arms. “You can fly away now.”The bird looked at Allie but didnt move. Mr. Andrews saw this and said, “Let me try.” He stood in the open doorway for a moment. Then he called, “Come on, little fellow. Dont be afraid！”The bird didnt move. “Im sorry, but I have to go，” said Mr. Andrews. He left, and the door closed. Allie and Mom continued shopping. Allie felt terrible each time she heard the birdcall!Finally, she and Mom arrived at the checkout (收银台) and she saw the bird was on the tomatojuice cans again, watching the doorway.Outside, Mrs. Sanchez was coming near the store entrance in her wheelchair (轮椅). She paused in the open doorway and slowly bent down to clean dirt off her shoes.This was the birds chance!Allie called quietly, “Mrs. Sanchez, hold still, please！”Mrs. Sanchez looked puzzled.After she looked at the bird Allie pointed to, she gave Allie a nod.Seeing that, Allies bird flew fast right over Mrs. Sanchezs head and out the door.Mrs. Sanchez sat up again. “Thanks, Mrs. Sanchez! You helped my bird get out！” Allie cried.Then she ran to the window. She watched the bird join its friends who were lined up on the wall, waiting, and then fly up into the sky.语篇解读本文是记叙文。文章讲述了一位名叫Allie的小女孩帮助困在商店里的小鸟飞出去的故事。1What was Allie doing when she first saw the little bird?A. She was drinking tomato juice.B. She was planning to leave the store.C. She was shopping with her mother.D. She was standing on top of a mountain.答案与解析C推理判断题。根据下文中的“Allie and Mom continued shopping”可推测，看到那只鸟时，Allie正跟她妈妈在商店里购物。2Mr. Andrews had a try at _.A. catching the birdB. comforting the birdC. closing the stores doorD. helping the bird fly away答案与解析D细节理解题。由上文Allie打开门想让小鸟飞出去以及下文Mr. Andrews站在门口让门打开的动作可知，他试着帮助小鸟从商店飞出去。3What does the underlined word “paused” in the text mean?A. Searched. B. Stood.C. Succeeded. D. Stopped.答案与解析D词义猜测题。由该词所在段落的内容以及下文中的“Mrs.Sanchez，hold still，please . You helped my bird get out”可知，坐着轮椅进商店的Sanchez夫人只有停在商店门口，自动门才能保持开着，小鸟才能飞出去。故paused此处意为“停住”。4When Allie watched the bird join its friends, she probably felt very _.A. bored B. happyC. proud D. nervous答案与解析B推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是“Allie felt terrible each time she heard the birdcall”可知，Allie一直想帮助困在商店里的小鸟飞出去，当她自己跟Andrews先生的尝试都失败后，她很难过，所以当在Sanchez夫人的帮助下，小鸟终于飞出去以后，她应该是感到高兴。BThe earth is the only planet that scientists think has life. Why does the earth have life while the other planets (行星) dont? For one thing, the earth is just the right temperature. As the_third_planet from the sun, the earth seems to be just the right distance away. The planets which are closer to the sun are hot that their surfaces bake (烘烤) in the sun. The farthest planets are cold balls.When the earth developed which scientists believe may have happened about 4 billion years ago many gases covered the earth. The gases caused the earth to be hot. But something wonderful happened. The temperature was just right for thick clouds to form. It rained very hard for a very long time. This gave the earth its oceans. Water made it possible for plants to grow. The plants created oxygen in the atmosphere. Oxygen is the gas that humans and animals breathe.Only one other planet in the solar system seems to be something like the earth. That planet is Mars (火星). Mars is smaller than the earth, and it is quite a bit cooler. But it is not too cold for humans. On some days, the temperatures are as low as a winter day in the northern United States. If you wore a special space suit, you could walk around on Mars. You would have to bring your own air to breathe, the air on Mars is too thin to breathe.Mars has the largest volcano (火山) in the solar system. It is sixteen miles high. The highest volcano on the earth is five miles high. The most unexpected (未预测到的) sight on Mars is dried up river beds. Scientists believe that Mars was once much better than it is now. Does this mean there could have been living things on Mars? Scientists are not sure, but there has been no sign so far.5Which of the following is NOT the reason that the earth has life?A. The earth is just the right temperature.B. The volcanos on earth are lower than those on Mars.C. There is oxygen in the atmosphere of the earth.D. The earth seems to be just the right distance away from the sun.答案与解析B细节理解题。文中提到地球是可证实的唯一有生命存在的太阳系行星，其原因包括地球合适的温度、距太阳距离适中和大气里含有氧气等。B项火山与此无关。6The underlined phrase “the third planet” in the first paragraph refers to _.A. the Sun B. the MoonC. the Earth D. the Mars答案与解析C词义猜测题。根据第一段中内容可知距离太阳第三远的行星指的是地球。7Which of the following about the Mars is NOT true?A. There could have been living things on Mars.B. Mars has the largest volcano in the solar system.C. There is almost no oxygen in the air on Mars.D. Mars is smaller than the earth, and it is quite a bit cooler.答案与解析A细节理解题。文章最后一段提到火星上有干涸的河床的迹象，但这一点并不能证实火星上存在生命，因为还没有生命迹象，故A项不正确。其他三项都与文章相符。C语篇解读放假了，让孩子们做些什么对健康有益的活动呢？跳水、划船、冲浪，还是体操呢？8If you are a child of seven, you should choose _.A. Diving B. Sailing C. Surfing D. Gymnastics答案与解析D细节理解题。参加跳水、划船、冲浪运动的年龄要求分别是13岁以上、8岁以上和8岁以上，而体操的年龄要求是4岁以上，所以选D。9If you have a 10hour course in diving, you should pay _.A. 100 B. 300 C. 90 D. 60答案与解析C数字计算题。由Diving中的“10 an hour. The first lesson, which lasts one hour, is usually free if you decide to carry on.”可知，每小时10英镑，如果决定继续学的话第一个小时免费，所以上10个小时的课需要付90英镑。10If you want to increase your confidence, you can call _.A. 084 512 97129 B. 015 096 18700C. 016 378 50737 D. 084 534 50400答案与解析D细节理解题。由Sailing中的“Sailing is great for building confidence .”可知答案为D。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。Friends are important to children.

Its me, Karan.Sandra: Hi, Karan. Im ringing up to ask 36._ youd like to come to a lecture with me. It sounds very 37._ (interest)Karan: What it about?Sandra: Its about UFO.Karan: Oh, that sounds good. Whos the 38._ (lecture)?Sandra: Hes a man 39._ (call) Professor Knight, from America.

Thanks for 44._ (ask) me, Sandra.Sandra: You are welcome. 45._ you on Saturday. Goodbye, Karan.Karan: Goodbye!答案与解析36if/whetherask后接宾语从句，宾语从句表达不肯定的语气，故用if/whether引导宾语从句。37interesting设空处所填词在句中作表语，应填形容词；说明讲座的特点，应用interesting。38lecturer根据语境该空填lecturer表“讲师”。39calledcall与其逻辑主语a man为被动关系，故用其过去分词形式作后置定语。40has done根据语境“他已做了许多研究”可知该处应用现在完成时。41what根据下文的回答“八点钟”可知该句问“几点钟开始？”用what。42aa quarter to eight意为“7点45分”。43shall祈使句的反意疑问句用shall提问。44asking设空前是介词for，应用动名词作宾语，故该空填asking。45See根据前后句的“Goodbye”可知该处填See。See you.“再见”。第三部分写作(共两节，满分35分)第一节短文改错(每小题1分，满分10分)英语课上，老师要求同桌同学相互修改作文。假设以下短文为你同桌所写，请你对其进行修改。文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号()，并在此符号下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词。2只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。3必须按答题要求做题，否则不给分。My mother died months before and my father was often out on the business, so I felt very lonely.
