Unit 5 Traveling abroad 单元综合测试

Ⅰ. 阅读理解（共两节, 满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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

A

The desire for a better life is sometimes so big that it makes people leave their countries and their families and work in other countries. They know that they will have to face difficult moments，that they won’t be able to communicate with the persons around them，and that maybe they will have to work in illegal conditions to get the money they need for their families，but they all take these chances and they hope they will succeed.

On the other hand，there are people who immigrate(移民)just for the sake of the people they love. They leave their families to make other families with the people they love. Women go to meet their men who have chosen other countries to start a new life，even if they miss their families and friends. Maybe they don’t have a place to work but they are able to wait to see what destiny(命运) has for them.

There are also the cases of the people who are forced to leave their countries because of a war which threatens their lives. They’d rather start from the very beginning again than risk putting their lives in danger.

When well developed countries see that their homeland is being “invaded” by lots of immig rants，they set new laws that make immigration harder. As a result of this，many illegal immigrants cross the borders and are eager to work，although they are paid only half the amount of money native workers receive for the same kind of job.

The opinions of the local people are varied and they range from total refusal to complete acceptance. Immigrants in countries which have large communities of them are fighting for the recognition of their social rights and for equal treatment.

Many immigrants have managed to be fully accepted by the communities where they live and have managed to change the opinions of the local people about them.

1. Which of the following reasons for immigration is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Escaping from a war.

B. Being reunited with the beloved people.

C. Seeking a better life.

D. Studying a foreign language.

2. What’s the usual response to immigrants in well developed countries?

A. To accept them.

B. To put limitations on immigration.

C. To refuse them.

D. To encourage them.

3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Some immigrants are still fighting for their rights now.

B. Native people usually earn more money than illegal immigrants.

C. Immigrants are never accepted no matter how hard they try.

D. The local people have different attitudes toward immigrants.

4. The passage implies that ________.

A. culture shock causes great anxiety in some immigrants

B. illegal immigrants cause great damage to developed countries

C. stricter laws should be set to prevent immigration

D. many people go to other countries with great determination

B

BERKELEY，Calif.—5 grand,15 grand,50 grand—you get what you pay for in a car.But a sweet ride doesn’t guarantee_ a safe ride.

“The primary problem is the driver，”says Jim Misener，a transportation safety researcher at University of California.

What if cars could pick up signals that could save your life，know when to stop，know when there’s been an accident，an d even know when it’s safe to turn？Sounds far out，but the new cars are closer than you may think.

Making the driver more alert(警惕的) is what researchers at UC Berkeley are doing by using the latest

WiFi technology.“Cars talking to one another，the environment or the roadside talking and listening to cars，”says Misener.

The new cars are combining with smart roads.Transmitters(传导物) along the road beam up wireless signals to a receiver on the car.An alert flashes inside the car.

Basically it measures the interaction(交互作用) between all road users at that particular crossroads.As a car approaches，the screen on a smart car’s dashboard flashes a red arrow when it’s not safe to turn.A warning arrow also appears on a sign alongside the road.This same system is used to warn a driver when it’s not safe to enter a crossroads.

Car companies are working to apply systems like this in their new cars.They also hope to be able to use these systems to notify drivers of contract or recall needs.

“All we’re doing is informing or al erting or warning the driver.The driver is still responsible，”says Misener.But now，thanks to the research，drivers will have more help to get them where they’re going safely.

5. Which of the following takes responsibility for a safe ride according to this text?

A. The car.

B. The crossroads.

C. The driver.

D. The walkers.

Break dancing(霹雳舞)，the athletic highenergy street dance，is a unique US phenomenon(现象)and the best break dancers or Bboys and Bgirls are American，right？Wrong.

Young South Koreans have taken to break dancing with the same sort of passion that their parents devoted to building Asia’s third largest economy and now regularly win B boy dance competitions，beating the US and European competitors at their own game.

Break dancing sprang from the streets of urban America in the late 1970s buildings over the years into an international youth movement with a number of parts including dance，rapping，and music sets played by DJs.

South Korea’s club scene fed the frenzy as dancers tried to outdo each other. What had once been a subculture in South Korea quickly became the main stream with Bboys and Bgirls appearing on best time TV shows and advertisements.

The dance part of the culture has had such an effect on South Korea because it appeals to a long-standing and widely acknowledged element of the national identity(特征)－the love of a party.

Korean people love singing and dancing. They have a long culture of dancing. Koreans are born with a dancing rhythm. It makes the Bboy culture very attractive to them.

The drive to put everything into winning is a key part of Korean life and partly explains why a country with few natural resources other than its people rose from a ruinous war some 50 years ago into a major economic power.

The biggest thing is the amount of practice the Bboys here put in. When Korean people love something they focus on it. American Bboys do it because they love it and enjoy it but Korean Bboys keep practicing and practicing.

It’s an American idea that’s been absorbed into Korea but it has turned around and been presented to the world as a representation of modern Korea.

13. What made South Korea become a rich country?

A. The strong devotion to American culture.

B. The strong love for various parties.

C. The strong passion for break dancing.

D. The strong desire to win over others.

14. Why have young South Koreans taken to break dancing?

A. Because break dancing has had an effect on South Korea.

B. Because they like American culture.

C. Because they are born dancers.

D. Because they want their country to be a major economic power.

15. The Korean youth differ from the American youth in ________.

A. where they perform break dancing

B. whether they love break dancing

C. how much practice they do

D. what music they dance to

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。

16 The answer is that the government needs money for many things, for example to pay its army, to build public facilities and to buy goods from abroad, and only the people of the country can supply the money.

17 That is, a person pays according to the amount of his income. Whether he is a merchant, a doctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner, or anything else, he must pay tax if his income is more than a certain amount. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money direct to the government.

Another tax is paid on goods such as watches, jewelry, tobacco, wine, etc. When they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops. 18

People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on things that they and their families need. We need policemen to catch thieves, and they must be paid what they earn;

children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be kept clean, and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid. 19 And we cannot have an army without paying for it.

20 We have no real cause to complain when we are asked to pay taxes for the good of ourselves and for our fellow citizens.

A. Why must we pay taxes?

B. Why do people often complain?

C. Taxes, therefore, cannot be avoided.

D. Taxes, however, should be cancelled.

E. One of the most important taxes is income tax.

F. We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeeper.

G. Above all, the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies.

Good afternoon, my dear friends.

My name is Lijin. Today I am very glad to have the chance to run for the vice president of the English Club. Concerning the position of vice president of the English Club, I feel qualified to take the job. First, I have gained a lot of experience and received wide praise from my classmates for my job as monitor. Second, I am

a warm-hearted boy and always ready to help others. Third, I am good at organizing activities and have held a number of English corners and discussions.

Looking into the future, I will try my best to assist the president and serve my fellow students if I am lucky enough to be the vice president. My plan is as follows:on the one hand, I will organize some campus activities, like "English Evening", a platform where students can show their English. In this process, we can still learn from each other. And I will invite some famous professors to give lectures for our students so that we can acquire a lot of knowledge.On the other hand, I will organize more activities to enhance the interschool communication. We can compete with students from other universities in debate contests or speech contests. Moreover, I will open more channels for you to voice your opinions and need.

I sincerely hope you will give me a chance, and please believe me that I will be a good vice president. Thank you.
