单元质量检测（六）选择题部分.阅读理解(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AMany wealthy and welltraveled people want a completely new experience, but they dont necessarily want to give up luxury accommodations and service. The following vacations could be best choices.Cruise down the Amazon RiverAqua Expeditions takes up to 32 passengers at a time on guided journeys of three, four, or seven days down the Amazon River. Those adventurers see forests and waterfalls, visit local fish markets, and take canoe trips. They also take in wildlife such as capuchin monkeys and river dolphins.Go Glamping in MontanaThe Resort at Paws Up located on a cattle ranch (牧场) is a standout in the type. The ranch rents homes with up to four bedrooms, but its the luxury tents that offer closer communion with the outdoors. Tents are arranged into camps, each of which has a private chef and butler, the latter of whom helps build campfires and arrange daytime activities. Guests can participate in a cattle drive, go clay shooting, take a hot air balloon trip, or ride horses.Climb inside a Volcano in IcelandIceland is famous for its volcanoes and has plenty of luxury hotel options. Thrillseekers can actually go down into the dormant (休眠的), 700footdeep Thrihnukagigur, by using an open elevator. Take a helicopter if you want to skip the 2mile hike to the volcano, and arrange a private tour to avoid crowds. And visitors traveling there can enjoy the luxury hotel such as the ION Luxury Adventure Hotel and the Hotel Rang.语篇解读：本文是应用文。文章介绍了三个旅游项目。1What can adventurers do when traveling down the Amazon River?AEnjoy individuallyguided tours.BTravel with hot air balloons.CGet a chance to see wildlife.DRide horses along the trail.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They also take in wildlife such as capuchin monkeys and river dolphins”可知，沿着亚马逊河旅游的人可以有机会观看野生动物，故选C。2At which place can guests enjoy food quite to their taste?AAqua Expeditions.BThe Resort at Paws Up.CThrihnukagigur. DThe Hotel Rang.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“each of which has a private chef”可知，在The Resort at Paws Up，每个营地都配有私人厨师，由此可知，游客在这里可吃到非常符合自己口味的食物，故选B。3What do the three vacations have in common?AThey are adventurous.BThey are animalcentered.CThey have luxury hotel options.DThey are intended for new travelers.解析：选A推理判断题。第一个项目提到“adventurers”，第二个项目提到“take a hot air balloon trip, or ride horses”，第三个项目提到寻求刺激的人可以下到700英尺深的休眠火山中。故这三个项目的共同点就是：adventurous“惊险的，刺激的”。BWhen he was 22, Rob Stewart traveled the world for four years. He wanted to call attention to the mistreatment of sharks. His 2007 film, Sharkwater, documents the cruel practice of removing sharks fins (鳍) for money and leaving the animals to die. In his latest documentary, Revolution, Stewart takes on an even bigger challenge: climate change.The Canadian filmmaker says that climate change has harmed people and places everywhere: “It is stronger than any government or organization. If we educate people, they will make better decisions about protecting natural resources.”According to a recent report on climate change, “The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have reduced, and the sea levels have risen.” These developments are endangering crops, wildlife, fish, and even people.Stewart says that the consequences of climate change will be irreversible unless people take action, especially young people. “Its up to kids to be the moral compass (道德指南) of society，” he believes, “and say, Guys, this is not right.”Many kids took action after seeing Sharkwater. Elementary school students in the Northern Mariana Islands, for example, got their local government to ban the sale of shark fins.Felix Finkbeiner, 17, of Germany is also part of the “revolution” to save the planet. In 2007, Felix started a youth group called PlantforthePlanet, whose motto is “Stop Talking. Start Planting.” The group raises money to plant trees. So far, PlantforthePlanet has planted nearly 200 trees around the world. “Future generations are the ones who will be suffering the most from inaction (无作为)，” Felix says. His goal is to plant millions of additional trees.“When we started four years ago，” Felix tells Stewart in Revolution, “we thought we had to save the polar bear. We thought we had to save the environment. But soon after, we found out that its about our future, that we have to save our own future.”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了电影制作人Rob Stewart为保护环境所作出的努力以及他对年轻人的影响。4What can we learn about Rob Stewart?AHe cares about the environment.BHe likes taking challenging jobs.CHe spends most of his time traveling.DHe made his first film four years ago.解析：选A推理判断题。根据Stewart拍摄的两部关于鲨鱼和气候变化的电影以及文中他所说的关于环境问题的话可知，他关爱环境。5What does the underlined word “irreversible” in Paragraph 4 mean?AEasy to accept.BHard to notice.CImpossible to change.DUnnecessary to worry about.解析：选C词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“. If we educate people, they will make better decisions about protecting natural resources”可知，画线词所在句子是说“如果人们不采取行动，那么由于气候变化引发的严重后果将不可扭转”。6Which of the following can best describe Felix Finkbeiner?AEasygoing.BFarsighted.CPeaceloving. DSelfcentered.解析：选B细节理解题。根据最后一段Felix Finkbeiner说的“we thought we had to save the polar bear . we have to save our own future.”可知，他是一个非常有远见的年轻人。7What would be the best title for the text?AThe best way to helpBA famous filmmakerCTips on saving our futureDHelping a planet in trouble解析：选D标题归纳题。气候变化引发了一系列严峻的问题。本文讲述了电影制作人Rob Stewart以及在他的影响下其他年轻人为保护环境所作出的努力。D项全面地概括了本文保护地球环境这一主题。CFarmers have long relied on things that work without their involvement bees to pollinate (授粉) flowers, earthworms (蚯蚓) to turn the soil, swallows to eat pests to make sure that crops grow the right way.Now a team of British researchers is trying to take this handsoff thinking in a hightech direction.Last October, scientists at Harper Adams University started a farm called the Hands Free Hectare to make the entire process of farming from sowing and fertilizing to harvest fully automatic.The project has just succeeded with five tons of robotgrown barley (大麦)“We believe the best idea is that in the future, farmers will manage groups of smaller, autonomous machines，” the researchers explained.“They will go out and work in the fields, allowing farmers to use their time more effectively instead of having to drive up and down the fields.”At the moment, agricultural machines very large and heavy can cover a lot of space quickly.But there are shortcomings.“Fertilizer gets sprayed over entire farms, regardless of the different needs of different crops.Theyre also so heavy that theyre damaging farmers soils，” researcher Jonathan Gill said.Gill and his colleagues went smaller: a tractor, a combine and a harvester, which followed a programmed route, using GPS.Altogether, they spent less than 200,000 on equipment, and used opensource technology and a drone (无人机)Eventually the system will be complex enough to treat different parts of a field, or even individual plants, differently.The team is quick to caution that they dont want to put farmers out of work.They said, “Instead of being busy in the fields, the farmer will manage the machines and monitor their crops.” The next stop for the barley will be a brewery.Thats not going to be completely automatic.At least not yet.语篇解读：本文是说明文。蜜蜂、蚯蚓以及燕子不需要人类的干预就可以为农业生产做出贡献。科研人员力图将这种“无为而治”的思想应用于高科技的领域，改进农业机械以实现全面的农业自动化。8What feature of bees, earthworms and swallows inspired scientists?ATheir dependence on nature.BTheir special way of survival.CTheir selfless love for the earth.DTheir natural involvement in farming.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第一段的“Now a team of British researchers is trying to take this handsoff thinking in a hightech direction”以及第二段的内容可知，蜜蜂、蚯蚓以及燕子不需要人类的干涉就可以使庄稼受益，研究者希望将这种“无为而治”的思想应用于科技农业的领域。9What advantage of Gills equipment is introduced in Para.4?AFreeing workers totally.BReducing the cost of harvest.CImproving the accuracy of farming.DIncreasing the output of different crops.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第三段的“Fertilizer gets sprayed over entire farms, regardless of the different needs of different crops”可知，现有的农业机械设备不能精准施肥。第四段介绍了科研队选用小规模的农业设备，再加上GPS和无人机等设备的配合，可以实现精准农业的目标。10What can we infer from the last paragraph?AGills project is still at the design stage.BUnemployment wouldnt be a concern.CThe brewery will realize automation soon.DComplete automatic farming is unrealistic.解析：选B推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，科研队并不想农民因为农业自动化而失业，农民需要控制机器并持续观察农作物。.阅读七选五(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。Each year, many animal species die out. They join the countless species that have gone extinct (灭绝的) over the course of the earths history and many people believe they disappear forever._11_Now some scientists are focusing on the ability to bring back extinct species. This doesnt mean the plot of Jurassic Park is going to become a reality. The researchers need DNA to clone a species._12_ Dinosaurs have been gone too long for any of their DNA to remain in fossils (化石)But theres a very real chance that we will be able to bring back more recently extinct species. _13_ In 2003, a team of Spanish and French scientists recreated the Pyrenean ibex, which had gone extinct three years earlier. The new animal didnt survive long, but scientific advances could improve the success rate. In January, Australian scientists announced that they were on their way to bringing back the gastric brooding frog.That we can bring species back doesnt mean that we should do that. There may be much benefit of reviving (使复生) a species, but theres no way to know how it will turn out. _14_ Or might it crowd out existing species? Environmentalists worry that our ability to bring species back might cut down support for the hard work of traditional conservation._15_ If we can correct our mistake, why not use the chance to do that? As Stewart Brand, a businessman and environmentalist, recently said，“Humans have made a huge hole in nature. We have the ability now to repair some of that damage.”ADNA is the chemical that carries the structure of a living thing.BIn addition, most people think that the extinction of some animals is really humans mistake.CHowever, some people argue that the extinction of some animals is really our mistake.DThis could even include Ice Age animals like the woolly mammoth.EHowever, you might need to redefine (重新定义) “forever”FThis could even be true to dinosaurs that were extinct long ago.GFor example, would a passenger pigeon fit into its old habitat (栖息地)?答案：1115EADGC.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。An injured owl (猫头鹰) was rescued Wednesday from a Maryland highway during the morning rush hour.
