单元测评(四)Unit 4Sharing(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。AA friend asked her threeyearold daughter Edie what theyd done at playground that day. Edie rolled her eyes disappointedly. “More sharing，” she sighed.Well, most of us feel like that sometimes, but last year Time magazine named the “sharing economy” as one of the “ten ideas that will change the world”. Changing focus from buying to borrowing, economists think that sharing is already worth 70 billion.In todays tough times, sharing can make life easier, cheaper and more fun. It makes us feel good, too. Studies show that sharing can also improve physical health.Whether its bikes, books, cars, cash, or even pets, we all have something to give. After all, sharing is a great way to make meaningful connections, too! Here are some of my favourite ways so far：Actress Lily Cole has started social network to trade kindness as money, in much the same way that Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales aimed to gift knowledge. Post a wish such as, “I wish to make cookies” and anyone in your local network can offer help.For things that you cant, dont or wont use, join s community of “Lenders” and “Borrowers” and share goods and spaces. Trade with the whole network or in special “lending circles”， such as your street, office or gym. You can also check out or .Let your home while on holiday using a site such as , so that you can get some money while on holiday and someone else can have a stay in your house. You can also make an exchange using .uk or . For a sumptuous (豪华的) place, try or use to search by event.Z offers payasyougo access to a range of lowcarbon vehicles. Each and every Zipcar takes at least 20 personally owned vehicles off the road, and its estimated (估计) that its 650,000 members across the UK, US and Canada save nearly 3,600 a year compared with the cost of running a car!When the economy is down, sharing can be both a saving and a joy.语篇解读本文是说明文。文章介绍了分享的好处和途径。1According to the first paragraph, Edie _.A. doesnt do much sharingB. thinks sharing is enjoyableC. doesnt like sharing with othersD. thinks sharing is necessary when life is tough答案与解析C细节理解题。由第一段中的“Edie rolled her eyes disappointedly. More sharing， she sighed”可知， Edie不喜欢分享。2The underlined word “Let” in the text can be replaced by “_”A. Repair B. Rent outC. Sell D. Use up答案与解析B词义猜测题。由下文的“so that you can get some money while on holiday and someone else can have a stay in your house”可知，Let在这里的意思是“出租”。3If you want to learn cooking from someone the best choice is _.A. B. C. D. 答案与解析D细节理解题。由第五段末句“Post a wish such as, I wish to make cookies and anyone in your local network can offer help”可知选D项。BThe cost of raising a child has hit an alltime high, according to a new report, increasing pressure on families already coping with cuts to child benefit.Figures from insurer LVs annual Cost of a Child Report show that the cost of bringing a child up to the age of 21 has reached 222,458 more than 4,000 higher than last year and up 82,000 on ten years ago.The insurer estimates that this is set to reach 350,000 by 2023 if costs continue to increase at the same rate.The report will be a further blow for hardworking families as cashstrapped parents continue to struggle with rising household bills and wage freezes and cuts to child benefit. The right to receive the payments, worth 20.30 a week for the first child and 13.40 for further children, was removed earlier this month from households with one earner on a salary of more than 60,000 and reduced for families where one member is paid more than 50,000.The research published today shows costs have risen in all areas over the last decade, except for clothing, down 5pc, with education seeing the biggest increase.Education and childcare remain the biggest expenditure for parents. The cost of education, including uniforms, after school clubs and university costs, has shot up from 32,593 to 72,832 per child in the last ten years.Childcare costs have also rocketed, up from 39,613 in 2003 to 63,738 today.Everyone wants the best for their children, but the rising cost of living is pushing parents finances to the limit. There seems to be no sign of this trend reversing. If the costs associated with bringing up children continue to rise at the same pace, parents could face a bill of over 350,000 in ten years time.语篇解读本文是说明文。根据保险公司LV的年度调查报告，英国育儿成本再创新高。英国之前已经削减了儿童津贴，而育儿成本的上升更加重了养育子女的家庭负担。4Which one may be the best title for this passage?A. Education and Childcare Are More ImportantB. Cost of a Child Hits Record 222,458C. Important Report of Cost of a ChildD. How to Educate a Child Properly Today答案与解析B主旨大意题。全文讲述了关于保险公司LV的年度调查报告中指出的问题：英国育儿成本再创新高，高达222,458英镑。5How much is the cost of a child ten years ago according to the text?A. 222,458. B. 350,000.C. 140,458. D. 63,738.答案与解析C细节理解题。根据文章第二段“. reached 222,458 . and up 82,000 on ten years ago.”计算得出。6Which area cost is the biggest increase?A. Clothing. B. Food.C. Childcare. D. Education.答案与解析D细节理解题。根据文章第五段中“with education seeing the biggest increase.”可知，教育支出是育儿成本增高中增长最大的一部分。7The underlined word “expenditure” in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by _.A. attention B. costC. worry D. wish答案与解析B词义猜测题。根据文章第六段上下文，教育和幼儿护理依旧是父母最大的花费，可猜测expenditure意为“花费”， cost是其同义词。CIts a sure sign that summer is over and that winter is on the way leaves that were once deep green are turning red, yellow and bright orange. It happens every autumn. But did you ever wonder why?According to horticulture (园艺) educator Susan Rose, the leaves start changing color when the nights start getting longer and the temperature starts getting cooler. As the number of daylight hours shrinks, the leaves stop making chlorophyll the substance that makes plants green. The process of making chlorophyll requires sunlight.But according to Rose, it turns out that leaves dont really change color at all. “The fall colors are actually there all along，” she said. “But they are masked by the green chlorophyll. As the chlorophyll stops being produced, the other colors can shine through.” How does a plant decide which color to change? That is determined by the plants genetic background.In some places, the leaves start changing color in September before autumn even officially begins. In other places, they dont change until late October or even November. Some scientists say the leaves have been changing color later than usual in recent years, and they think global warming has something to do with that.In one study, researchers found that the growing season in the Northern Hemisphere (北半球) was nearly a week longer, on average, in 2008 than it was in 1982. A retired Harvard University professor found that the leaves west of Boston, Massachusetts, are changing color about three days later than they used to. Other scientists disagree with the global warming theory. “I really dont think weve seen any longterm trend，” said William Ostrofsky, a forest pathologist.Rose said the leaves in her part of Colorado are changing “right on schedule”， but the leaves in other parts of that state are running a little late. “The lateness in the mountains may have something to do with the really warm late summer and early fall，” she said, “but Im afraid thats just a guess.”语篇解读秋天树叶会变黄，这是大家普遍接受的自然规律，但是科学家发现树叶变黄的时间在延后，这和气候变暖现象有没有关系呢？8The second paragraph is mainly about _.A. the importance of sunlight to treesB. why leaves have different colorsC. the challenges trees face in autumnD. why leaves change color in autumn答案与解析D主旨大意题。第一段最后一句问“But did you ever wonder why？”第二段正是对这个问题作出回答，主要描述的是树叶在秋天变色的原因。9Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Leaves have to produce some other substance to replace chlorophyll in autumn.B. Which color to change depends on the trees locations.C. The time when leaves change color has something to do with the trees locations.D. It is more beneficial to the trees if leaves change color later in the year.答案与解析C推理判断题。从第四段的“In some places, the leaves start changing color in September . In other places, they dont change until late October or even November.”可知C项正确。10We can learn from the fifth paragraph that _.A. scientists have agreed on the global warming theoryB. opinions vary about the cause of the later color changingC. a study in 1982 predicted that the growing season of trees would become longerD. the retired Harvard University professors findings go against the global warming theory答案与解析B推理判断题。从第五段的“Other scientists disagree with the global warming theory. I really dont think weve seen any longterm trend”可知B项正确。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。Teaching children about their family historyKnowing who you are and where you come from helps define how you see yourself and how you live your life. _11_ You can tell stories about family members or share family recipes.Family history bookBegin a family history book by starting with a family tree. _12_ Then label them with names and other information.

On my way back home from work every day, there was _16_ a homeless man standing by the road. His _17_ had a sparkle (光亮) and they were what struck me the most about him. His eyes, I thought, _18_ the man in general. He always waved at every _19_， and he was smiling and even dancing sometimes.

It should be interesting.Simon: Good idea! Linda. Im sure theyll like it.答案与解析36choices所给词在句中作offer的宾语，且在数词three之后，应填choose的名词形式并用复数形式choices。37onethe earliest one指最早的一个选择。38coming所给词在with结构中作补语，且come与其逻辑主语exams为主动关系，故用其现在分词形式作宾补。39changedbut连接两个并列的谓语动词，空处所填谓语与said并列，应填一般过去时changed。40the该空特指该地区的学校，填定冠词the。41useduse与the Internet为被动关系，又结合空格前面的is being，可知该空填used。42whatwhat引导宾语从句且在从句中作介词for的宾语。43soso“因此”连接上下分句。44nicely所给词在句中作状语修饰动词fit in，应用副词形式nicely。45may/mightmay/might have done“过去也许做了某事”，表过去不太肯定的猜测。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：在错的词下划一横线，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 dog Ben died last year. I miss her very much and I will never forget what happened with him when I was eight years old. Ben doesnt like my father. One day my father called at Ben but he ran into garden. My father shouted at Ben, but the more he shouted, the much Ben ran away. In the end, my father ran after Ben around the garden but even tried to jump on him.
