Unitl单元测试

答案解析

、

第一节

1.【答案】A

【解析】细节理解题。由第——段中的TheworksofarthavebeencollectedbythepeopleofFranceovermany

centuries."可以看出，卢浮宫的大多数艺术品是法国人民收集而来的。

2.【答案】D

【解析】细节理解题。由最后一段中的"Itisaplacewherearttreasuresarekeptforeveryonetoenjoy.”可知D

项正确。

3.【答案】C

【解析】细节理解题。由第二段中的“In1190,itwastheking'scastlewithhighwallsandaroundtower.”可知

C项正确。

4.【答案】C

【解析】细节理解题。根据第一、三段可知，长期以来，历史学家和科学家们认为古埃及法老Tut是被他的

一位谋士谋害的。

5.【答案】B

【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句及下文的具体描述可知，一个专家小组借助现代科技（包括DNA

检测和电子扫描）发现，古埃及法老Tut死于由腿伤引起的并发症。

6.【答案】D

【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段可知，研究人员运用了DNA检测及电子扫描技术对古埃及法老Tut的木

乃伊进行了研究，从而获得了新发现。

7.【答案】A

【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了一项新的研究发现为古埃及法老Tut的死亡提供了一

种不同的解释。

8.【答案】D

［解析］细节理解题o根据第一段中的”...BobChristiansenbecamepuzzledabout,hadnottroubledanyonebefore:

hecouldn'tfindtheparksvolcano."可知让鲍勃感至U迷惑的是，他在黄石国家公园没有找到火山，即：火山

的准确位置。

9.【答案】A

【解析】主旨大意题。文章的第二段主要介绍了两种类型火山的形成过程，一种是形成圆锥体形状的火山，

富士山和乞力马扎罗山就是其典型代表；另外一种是通过爆裂岩浆而形成巨大裂口的火山，而黄石国家公

园恰恰就是这一种，所以本段主要讲述了火山的形态，故选A项。

10.【答案】C

【解析】词义猜测题。根据第三段中的...aniceblow-upforoneofthevisitors9centers.AssoonasChristiansen

sawthephotos..."可知，thephotos所指的就是前面提及的blow-up,所以推断blow-up相当于photo

（photograph）,故选C项。

第一下

11.【答案】C

【解析】第一段是主旨段，点明就哪一方面提出建议。各选项中只有c项（但我们还是应该找到管理情绪

的方法）与上文“我们青少年感到烦恼是很自然的”衔接紧密，故为答案。

12.【答案】B

【解析】本段的建议是“让身体动起来”，也就是说要锻炼身体，空格后列举了运动的好处，B项（运动的

好处真是不胜枚举）是对该建议的概括性叙述，与下文街接紧密，故为答案。

13.【答案】G

【解析】本段的建议是“谈论它”，各选项中只有G项（别把不良情绪憋在心里，直到爆发）与本段的建议

相关，故为答案。

14.【答案】E

【解析】本段的建议是“多笑笑”，再结合空格后的"Ifstrue!"可知所填句子应该是一个问句，由此推断选

E项（你知道只是笑一笑就能有助于改善心情吗？）。

15.【答案】F

【解析】本段的建议是“哭出来，没事的”，开头提到“有时从情绪中走出来的唯一方法就是哭，那就放声

哭吧”，F项（哭完之后，你就准备好再次面对世界了）与本段主旨一致，故为答案。

二、

第一节

16.【答案】C

【解析】作者认为和别人沟通的最基本、最有力的方式是聆听只需聆听，而聆听需要全神贯注，“注意

（attention）w对方说的内容。

17.【答案】D

【解析】聆听需要集中精力，尤其需要发自“内心（heart）”。

18.【答案】B

【解析】当人们说话时，我们没有必要做任何事情，“聆听（listento）”即可。

19.【答案】A

【解析】上文讲述的是要专心聆听对方的话，只要去领会对方所有的话语。takein理解，领会；takeup占

据；takeoff脱掉，起飞；takeaway带走。

20.【答案】D

【解析】上文强调的是聆听的重要性，由此可知聆听对方的倾诉大多数时候比“理解（understanding）”对方

的话的意思更重要。下一段的最后两句也是线索提示。

21.【答案】B

【解析】根据本句后半部分中的内容可知她“试图（try）”讲述自己的故事。managet。dosth.表示“设法做

成某事”，强调的是成功的结果；C、D两项的意思基本相同，可排除。

22.【答案】B

【解析】当她试图讲述自己的故事时，人们经常“打断（interrupt）”她，告诉她他们曾经有过类似的经历。

23.【答案】A

【解析】由于她的话经常被别人打断，“最终（eventually）"她不再和大多数人交谈。C项表示“彻底地”。

过于绝对。

24.【答案】C

【解析】她不再和大多数人交谈，最终封闭了自己，自然非常“孤独（lonely）”

25.【答案】B

【解析】我们打断别人的谈话，让他们知道我们理解他们时。就把注意的“焦点（focus）”转移到我们自己

身上了。

26.【答案】A

【解析】作者学会了仅仅通过聆听来回应哭泣的人。respondto对……作出反应。

27.【答案】C

【解析】作者以前是递给对方纸巾，“直到（until）”后来意识到这样做可能是另一种将对方关在悲痛中的方

式。如今作者只是聆听。

28.【答案】A

【解析】作者发现递给对方纸巾的结果是把对方关在悲痛中，让对方的痛苦无处释放。shutdown关闭；shut

away藏起来，隔离；shutin把...关在房间里；shutoff停止运转。

29.【答案】D

【解析】作者意识到递给对方纸巾不能让对方摆脱悲伤和痛苦的“经历（experience）"

30.【答案】A

【解析】他们需要哭泣时就应该发泄出来，只要发觉作者和他们在一起即可。w
