单元测评(五)Unit 5Canada “The True North”(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。AI have never traveled by plane but I would like to and I hope to have the opportunity very soon. Anyway, one can find advantages and disadvantages when traveling by plane.The most important advantage is that it is the fastest means of transport when referring to longdistance travel. One can arrive in Spain in almost two hours and a half by plane. He cant even figure out how time has passed and he has arrived at his destination. He does not have to wait three days in order to arrive in Spain by coach (长途公共汽车), which makes him feel pain in his legs and feel tired because he hasnt slept more than three hours in the last three days.Then, think about the conditions which are at_our_beck_and_call:_we are attended by a beautiful hostess who will take care of us on the flight. The comfort helps us forget about the possibility of some technical problems and of an undeserved accident.Anyway, many people feel scared when it comes to flying in a plane. They say that the risks of losing your life in plane travel are higher than in car travel.Apart from this disadvantage, there are people who dont choose to travel by plane because they get altitude sickness and they think air fares are too high.One piece of advice I would like to give to people who choose to travel by plane is that they should not even think for a second about the plane crashing. Just relax, be comfortable and everything will be all right. Planes are well equipped and advanced technology tries to offer total protection to all passengers.语篇解读本文作者分别陈述了乘坐飞机旅行的优点与缺点，并表明希望乘坐飞机旅行。1From the text, we can learn that _.A. its a good choice to have longdistance travel by planeB. there may be a few technical problems when people travel by planeC. the author usually travels by planeD. most people feel sick the first time they take a plane 答案与解析A细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The most important advantage is that it is the fastest means of transport when referring to longdistance travel.”可知，对于长途旅行，乘坐飞机是最快的交通方式。故A项正确。2What does the underlined phrase in the third paragraph mean?A.

Any trip to Sydney is an adventure and with some of the worlds most beautiful beaches, this city has so much to offer. Sydney is so large an area that choosing a hotel is something you need to do very carefully. Public transport is good, but it can be slow and being close to where you want to be is probably the most important factor.The first and most obvious choice is hotels around Circular Quay. Circular Quay is the heart of the city and one of the major interchanges where trains, buses and ferries meet. Its also where Sydneys two most famous landmarks are located the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge. This area is active and offers some of the best views you will ever get from a hotel room.The farther hotels in the city are much more suited to business travelers and they are usually less expensive. Darling Harbor is a great choice as it mixes a great view with being right in the centre of the city. Darling Harbor has hundreds of pubs, clubs and restaurants along the waters edge.If you dont feel like dealing with the hustle_and_bustle of the city and are looking for something a bit quieter, why not head out to the Northern Beaches. Its only a short ferry ride over to Manly where you can find two major hotels on the beach with a number of smaller boutiques (时装店，精品店)语篇解读风光旖旎、交通便利、闻名遐迩的悉尼让你流连忘返。如何食宿？在哪里住宿？这里有各种条件的旅馆让你来选。5What made Sydney famous as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world?A. Its traditional culture. B. Its beaches and hotels. C. The traffic system. D. The 2000 Olympics.答案与解析D细节理解题。由第一段中的“. and the 2000 Olympic Games put it on the map as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world.”可知答案为D项。6If you want to live in a quiet hotel and buy some fashionable clothes or expensive gifts, you should choose one in _.A. Circular Quay B. Darling Harbor C. Manly D. Sydney Harbor Bridge答案与解析C由最后一段可知，要想找更安静的地方，那就去Manly，在那里有许多时装店/精品店，自然可以买到“some fashionable clothes or expensive gifts”。7The underlined part “hustle and bustle” in the last paragraph may refer to _.A. hot climate B. serious pollution C. busy noisy activity D. slowmoving traffic答案与解析C词义理解题。由最后一段中的“. and are looking for something a bit quieter”可推知“hustle and bustle”的意思应与quieter相对，故答案为C项。CLong long ago, there lived two brothers in a village. Their parents died and left them a farm. The elder son took everything except for a very small piece of land, a cat and a dog. The younger son had to use the cat and the dog to pull his plough (犁) because he did not have an ox (牛). They did not like this at all and cried out.Near the farm, there was a mountain called Stone Mountain. A demon (魔鬼) lived on this mountain and people who looked at it carefully could see his face. When the Demon of Stone Mountain heard the cat and the dog crying out, he looked down. He thought a cat and a dog looked funny pulling a plough. He opened his mouth and laughed.The younger son heard the demons laughter. He looked up and saw inside the demons huge, open mouth, it was full of gold and silver. Quickly, he ran up the mountain and hurried inside the demons mouth. There, he collected a little of the gold and silver and then hurried out again. Now he could buy himself a house, a larger piece of land and an ox to pull his plough.His brother soon found out what had happened. He immediately got the cat and the dog and used them to pull his plough near Stone Mountain. Once again, the demon opened his mouth to laugh at the sight of a cat and a dog pulling a plough. Quickly, the elder brother ran into the demons mouth and began filling his bags with gold and silver.He was so busy that he forgot about the cat and the dog, and it was not long before the two animals lay down to rest. As soon as this happened, the Demon of Stone Mountain stopped laughing and closed his mouth. The elder brother was kept inside and was never seen again.语篇解读本文是记叙文。文章通过讲述兄弟二人从魔鬼嘴里拿财宝的故事告诉我们：贪多必失。8The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 1 refers to “_”A. the two brothers B. the oxen C. the cat and the dog D. the two brothers parents答案与解析C代词指代题。由前一句可知，弟弟出于无奈，只能让猫和狗帮助他犁地。猫狗不喜欢这样，所以开始哭泣。第二段中的the cat and the dog crying out也是提示。9The elder brother used the cat and the dog to pull his plough to _.A. have some funB. punish the two animalsC. help his younger brotherD. get treasure from the demon答案与解析D细节理解题。根据第四段可知，哥哥知道了弟弟有钱的秘密，也开始用猫和狗犁地，好让山上的魔鬼也张开大嘴露出财宝。10What happened at the end of the story?A.

And they are _16_ to test for their licenses at sixteen. Unfortunately, I was unable to test for my _17_ at that age.So here I am eighteen years old, and taking my test along with “children” much _18_ than I am. Today I sat in my car, just like them, _19_ because of the coming test. I tried to calm down. I told myself that _20_ I failed the first time, I could just retake it during winter break. However, I couldnt _21_ sweating (出汗). All I could think about was safety instructions my instructor told me.The last time I felt this _22_ was in tenth grade when I was waiting for my turn to play the piano during a performance. I _23_ choking (窒息) during that performance my sweaty fingers hit the wrong keys and the piece was _24_. I was worried the _25_ thing would happen this time.Once the drive tester came into the _26_ and I turned onto the road, I was _27_ and felt confident. The _28_ was over in six minutes. As soon as my tester instructed me to pull into the parking lot, I was sure I had _29_. I walked into the department of licensing, and greeted my dad, who had been patiently _30_ me. Suddenly, a flood of feelings filled me. I thought about my dad who _31_ me to ride a bike when I was five. _32_ could thirteen years have passed already? Now I was driving a(n) _33_ vehicle, one that would take me farther and farther away from him._34_， it wasnt really about passing a test anymore. It was about not disappointing people.
