AThese people are studying English. However, they are now facing some problems.21. Who may say, “I go to bed late last night”?A. Pablo.B. Maria Luisa.C. Li Ping.D. Yoshi.22. What would be the best advice for Maria Luisa?A. Try to have a wide vocabulary.B. Develop a good knowledge of grammar.C. Read as many English books as possible.D. Make friends with English-speaking people.23. Why do people find it hard to understand Li Ping's English?A. She can't pronounce words in English correctly.B. She speaks at a very fast speed.C. Her grammar is terrible.D. Her voice is very low.24. What can we learn about Yoshi?A. He was born in the United States.B. He has a very small vocabulary.C. He has learned English for years.D. He is very good at listening.BIn the summer of 1885, nine-year-old Joseph Meister was very ill. He had been wounded by a sick dog that had rabies, a very dangerous disease. His parents were told that there was probably only one man who could save Joseph's life — Louis Pasteur.When Pasteur was a young boy in France, he spent many hours every day with the chemist (药剂师) who lived in his small town. At that time, the chemist had to make all the medicines himself. Young Louis enjoyed watching the chemist as he worked and helped those people who came to him each day.As a schoolboy, Pasteur worked slowly and carefully. At first, his teachers thought that young Louis might be a slow learner. Through elementary school, high school, and college, Pasteur worked in the same thoughtful way. Then he became a college professor (教授) and a scientist, and he continued to work very carefully.Pasteur was studying about the germs (细菌) that cause rabies when Joseph Meister became ill. In fact, Pasteur believed he had a medical treatment for rabies, but he had never given it to a person before. At first, Pasteur was afraid to treat Joseph,but the poor child was dying. Pasteur gave Joseph an inoculation (预防接种) every day for ten days. Slowly, the child became better.During his lifetime, Pasteur studied germs and learned how they cause diseases in animals and people. He developed vaccinations (疫苗) that prevent many of these diseases. On September 28, 1895, Louis Pasteur passed away, at the age of 72. The work of this great man has been of great help to modern medicine.25. The story of Joseph Meister is given to _____.A. express the author's sadnessB. introduce the subject of the textC. show some common diseases in 1885D. warn children to stay away from dogs26. According to the text, young Louis _____.A. was once badly hurt by a dogB. was very interested in medicineC. made a living by working for a chemistD. had been thought highly of by his teachers27. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that Louis Pasteur _____.A. was always patientB. was clever but proudC. was a slow learnerD. was a humorous professor28. What would be the best title for the text?A. Germs and diseasesB. Rabies: a terrible diseaseC. The earliest chemist in FranceD. Louis Pasteur: a great scientistCNavarathri, which is celebrated throughout India, falls in September or October. On the first three days, people pray (祈祷) to the goddess Durga, the protector who destroys all evil (邪恶). The next three days they pray to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Then, also for three days, they look to Saraswathi, the goddess of wisdom and knowledge. The tenth and final day of the festival is for the goddess Durga. On this day many years ago, Durga killed the evil buffalo-headed monster (怪物), Mahishasura.My daughter and I took out the models of the gods and goddesses that we had stored away last year. Soon the room was littered with all kinds of dolls. We usually buy at least one new doll every year. On the tenth day, the dolls are carefully put away. If a doll is too damaged to be shown, it is never thrown away. Instead, it is put deep into the seas.In our hallway six long wooden steps are set up. First, we spread a thick white cloth (布) over the steps. Now it's time to put the dolls on the steps carefully. Every year, the gollu is different. Sometimes — as the collection grows — there is no space to fit all of the dolls on the steps. Smaller dolls can also be placed on the floor.Every night there are prayers, music, dancing, and a large meal for many people. In northern India, the children sing songs while doing the dandiya raas, a traditional dance. Every dancer also has two wooden sticks — called dandiya — that he or she uses to make a sound in time to the lovely music. Dancing the dandiya raas helps people think of the true meaning of Navarathri — togetherness, laughter, and fun!29. According to Paragraph 1, Navarathri _____.A. is just celebrated in Northern IndiaB. usually takes place in the winterC. is in memory of DurgaD. lasts for about ten days30. How do Indians deal with the dolls used at Navarathri?A. They always take good care of the dolls.B. They usually throw away the broken dolls.C. They have to buy many new dolls every year.D. They keep the dolls in the hallway for a month.31. The underlined wo rds “the gollu” in Paragraph 3 probably mean _____.A. the collection of Indian songsB. the number of wooden stepsC. the showing of the dollsD. the color of the cloth32. What is mainly described in the text?A. Some traditional dancesB. Three goddesses in IndiaC. The history of NavarathriD. A popular festival in IndiaDThe United States has more tornadoes (龙卷风) than any other country in the world. In a normal year there are 800 to 1,000 tornadoes. Most happen in the middle part of the country. Tornadoes form when warm and cool air meet. In the Midwest, the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico often meets the cold air from Canada.The usual tornado season is March through May. Tornadoes form most often in the afternoon and early evening. There is often no warning of a tornado. People who live in the Midwest know the signs (征兆) of tornado activity. The sky becomes dark, often a greenish color. Dark clouds appear in the sky and there is often large hail (冰雹). Suddenly, there is a loud sound, like a train or a jet plane. Sometimes, two, three, five, ten or more tornadoes can form over a large area.This type of tornado activity hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999. The day was stormy, with heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon. As the storms continued, tornadoes began to form. Dozens of tornadoes hit towns and neighborhoodsin Oklahoma, then in Kansas. Some stayed on the ground for several hours, destroying everything they touched. The tornadoes killed 43 people and injured 600 others. They destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. In some areas, not one home stood. In other areas, the tornadoes destroyed every home on the left side of thestreet, but didn't touch any homes on the right side. The tornadoes lifted people and cars into the air and then threw them back down to earth. So it is important to know where to hide and how to protect yourself in the face of a tornado.33. What can we learn about tornadoes in America?A. They may appear in groups.B. They usually happen in the summer.C. There are more tornadoes in the Eastern States.D. There are more than 1,000 tornadoes every year.34. The tornadoes that hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999 _____.A. took place at the same timeB. were the biggest in historyC. came and went quicklyD. brought death and destruction35. What will the author most probably talk about next?A. Tornado dangers and warning signs.B. How to stay safe during a tornado.C. Different kinds of tornadoes.D. How a tornado forms.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。
新人教版高中英语Unit4Earthquakes单元综合测评必修1
单元综合测评(四)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AEvery year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world.In September, 1923，Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it.They had to be completely rebuilt.One of the most serious earthquakes was in China's Shaanxi Province in 1556.It killed almost one millionpeople. We measure an earthquake's strength on the Richter Scale.The Richter Scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA.It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten.Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious. The Earth's crust(地壳) is made up of rock called plates.As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake.In cities such as Tokyo，where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designedto be flexible so when the plate moves, they move with it. Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes.This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis.These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea.They can be many meters high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities.China, Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence (发生)ofearthquakes in the world.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述的是关于大自然中的一种常见的灾难——地震的具体信息等。

AOn 26th January，the biggest earthquake in India took the lives of 25，000 people.In the morning，when everybody was enjoying the holiday，the earthquake began.It was about 7.5 on the Ritcher scale.“There is nothing left between the sky and the earth any more.Everything has been pulled down.”said one of the villagers alive.“There is no water，no food and no one has come to help.”Nobody died in Pakistan，a country next to India.The city of Lahore was lucky.In Lahore American School，where I was studying，all of the students were safe.They were on the field，so most children didn't feel anything.The earthquake was felt by the teachers that were on the second floor.However，though Mrs Young was also on the second floor，she didn't feel anything.She didn't know what happened until a teacher told her about it.Those teachers who were on the other floors had different feelings.Mr Emond，the maths teacher from Australia，said that when the earthquake started he thought there was something wrong with him，but then another teacher said that it was an earthquake.Mrs Davis and Mr Frost didn't feel anything either.My mother didn't feel anything.She didn't even know that it was an earthquake till she saw a shaking light.My dad saw the computer shaking and then he looked out of the window and saw many people going out.【语篇解读】本文简单介绍了发生在印度的一次大地震。

AA jobless man applied for the position of “office boy〞 at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.“You are employed，〞he said. “Give me your email address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.〞The man replied, “But I don't have a computer, neither an email.〞“I'm sorr y，〞said the HR manager. “If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist cannot have the job.〞The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only ten dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10 kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars.The man realized that he can survive in this way, and started to go every day earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US.He started to plan his family's future and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker and chose a protection plan.When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his email. The man replied, “I don't have an email.〞The broker answered curiously, “You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email？〞The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft！〞语篇解读：本文讲述了一个男子因为没有邮箱而没有获得工作。

单元综合测评(四)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AEvery year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world.In September, 1923，Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it.They had to be completely rebuilt.One of the most serious earthquakes was in China's Shaanxi Province in 1556.It killed almost one million people.We measure an earthquake's strength on the Richter Scale.The Richter Scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA.It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten.Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.The Earth's crust(地壳) is made up of rock called plates.As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake.In cities such as Tokyo，where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the plate moves, they move with it.Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes.This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis.These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea.They can be many meters high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities.China, Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence (发生)of earthquakes in the world.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述的是关于大自然中的一种常见的灾难——地震的具体信息等。
1．The passage is mainly about ．A．scientists who study earthquakesB．the way of measuring earthquakesC．a usual natural disaster—earthquakesD．what people should do in the earthquake【解析】主旨大意题。
根据文章第一段内容可知本文主要讲述了大自然中的一种很常见的灾难——地震的具体信息。
故C项正确。
【答案】 C2．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．The earthquake in Shaanxi Province happened in 1556.B．The earthquake in Shaanxi Province killed almost one million people.C．The earthquake in Shaanxi Province caused a lot of damage.D．The earthquake in Shaanxi Province was the only earthquake in China.【解析】细节理解题。
根据第一段最后两句One of the most serious earthquakes was in China's Shaanxi Province in 1556.It killed almost one mi llion people.”可知A、B、C三项都是正确的，只有D项描述错误。
故选D项。
【答案】 D3．According to the passage we know that tsunamis ．A．can cause earthquakesB．are caused by earthquakesC．only happen on landD．are a way of measuring earthquakes【解析】细节理解题。
根据文章最后一段倒数第三句“These are h uge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea.”说明海啸是由海底的地震所导致的，故B项正确。
【答案】 BBEverybody hates rats.But in the earthquake capitals of the world—Japan，Los Angeles，Turkey—rats will soon be man's new best friends.What happens after an earthquake？We send in rescue dogs.Why？Because they can smell people.Dogs save lives.They help rescuers to find living people.But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces.So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives：the rat.How does it work？First，the rat is trained to smell people.When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal (信号)．This is sent to a small radio on its back，and then the rescuers follow the radio signals.When the rat's brain activity jumps，the rescuers know that someone is alive.The rat has smelled that person.Although there are already robots which can do this job，rats are better.Christian Linster at Cornell University，New York, says，“Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around.Rats are good at that.”Rats can also see in the dark.They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity!The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says，“It would be fantastic.A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to，and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe.”Perhaps for the first time in history，people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake，of course.)【语篇解读】人人痛恨的老鼠不久将在地震后的救援中成为人们的好朋友。
4．In the world earthquake capitals，rats will become man's best friends because they can ．A．take the place of man's rescue jobsB．find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildingsC．serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildingsD．get into small spaces【解析】推理判断题。
根据第三段内容可知，人们利用老鼠来搜寻地震中的被困人员，因此答案为B项。
【答案】 B5．From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person who is alive by ．A．the noise made by the ratB．the rat's unusual behaviourC．the signal sent by the radio on the rat's backD．the smell given off by the person【解析】细节理解题。
根据第三段中的“When this happens，the rat's brain gives a signal(信号)．This is sent to a small radio on its back，and then the rescuers follow the radio signals.”可知答案为C项。
