译林牛津版必修3Unit2单元综合检测学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a second language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter（灰质）. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learned a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density（密度）in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows in the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and having a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings had the same result in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.1．What is the main idea of this passage?A．There’s science on learning a second language.B．Man’s ability of learning a second language.C．Learning another language can help increase brain power.D．Language learning is related to maths study.2．The underlined word “bilinguals” probably means _______.A．researchers on language learningB．second language learnersC．people who can speak two languagesD．active language learners3．What can we know from the scientific findings?A．The earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher grey matter density is. B．There is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second language.C．The experience of learning a second language has little effect on p eople’s brain.D．The ability of learning a second language is changing all the time.4．In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that ___________.A．learning a second language is the same as studying mathsB．learning a second language early helps you a great deal in studying other subjects C．Italian is the best choice for you as a second languageD．you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second languageLetters as a way of communication have long given way to phone calls and WeChai messages.But a TV show，Letters Alive，is helping bring this old way to keep in touch back into the present.Letters Alive took its idea from a UK program with a similar name，Letters Live，which was first shown in 2013.Both shows feature famous actors and actresses，but there is no gossip，no eye-catching visual effects or any regular showbiz（娱乐业）activities. Instead，it's just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter.But these are not just any letters. They are selected from a wide time span（时间跨度）and different subjects. There is，for example，a passionate letter that famous painter Huang Yongyu wrote to playwright Cao Yu 30 years ago to criticize his lack of creativity. There is also a heartfelt note from the Spring and Autumn Period written by two ordinary young soldiers to their elder brother to report their lives in the war z0ne，Every letter is like a small piece ofhistory. By hearing them being read，it's as if we were sent back in time to experience a moment that we would otherwise never have had the chance to."Letters Live makes us pause and imagine the lives behind the letters，"UK actor Benedict Cumberbatch told The Guardian. "It allows people from all ages and all walks of life to experience a moment of time in someone else's life for a brief moment."Compared to published texts，letters also come with a personal touch.One example from Letters Live was a note of thanks from the mother of a dying child to J.K. Rowling，author of the Harry Potter books. It read；"Mrs Rowling，cancer threatened to take everything from my daughter，and your books turned out to be the castle we so desperately needed to hide in."According to Guan Zhengwen，the director of Letters Alice，it is this kind of humanity behind every letter that strikes a chord（引起共鸡）with the audience. It is also what made the show a big hit in China ever since it first aired on Dec 31 on TV."It's a thing of the past that entertainment shows establish themselves only with pretty faces，"Guan told Sohu News. "Showbiz is starting to switch to a focus on wisdom and intelligence.”5．What do you know about the TV show Letters Alive from this passage？A．Any letters can be read in this TV show.B．It is exactly the same as the LK program Letters Live.C．The program brings the old way of writing letters back to life.D．There is much gossip and visual effects in the program.6．What effect do letters have according to the audience?A．They help cure a dying child of her cancer.B．They make people forget their past experience.C．They reflect the whole history of the world.D．They allow people to experience others' life.7．Why is the TV show Letters Alive very popular according to its director?A．It features famous actors and actresses.B．People can find many regular showbiz activities.C．Letters have been completely replaced by social media.D．The humanity behind every letter makes the audience touched.8．What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?A．Quit. B．Appreciate.C．Change. D．Criticize.How many calories are there in every meal you eat? That seems like a difficult question to answer. But students at Aitkin High School in the United States can easily answer it now. They put what they eat into an online calorie counter（计算器）. It quickly measures the amount of calories in their meals.In fact, this is part of the school’s health class. It includes heart health, nutrition and fitness. Students can learn basic knowledge about fats, proteins, calories and sugar.Students learn how to balance calories in and out. They will know what happens when the balance isn’t there. “The online calorie counter has turned out to be a cool tool to help you make healthy choices. Making one healthy eating decision can really make a difference.” Adam Carlson, the teacher in charge, told local newspaper Aitkin Independent Age.They also discus good ways to burn calories in the gym. According to Carlson, the gym is a great place to burn calories and get stronger. But it doesn’t work for everyone. So they try to find different workout tips. “I’m t rying hard to teach the students that working out can be fun, challenging, and doesn’t need to take hours out of the day,” she said.The class has indeed changed students. “I am now watching what I am eating and pay attention to the food labels,” said seve nth-grader Karena Burgstaler. Another student James Erickson began to control his sugar input because it almost went over his daily calorie intake goal.9．After taking the health class, the students ______.A．pay more attention to food pricesB．eat more food with labelsC．try to keep a balanced dietD．stop eating sugary food10．What do we know about the students from the first two paragraphs?A．They try to cook healthy food with fewer calories.B．They learn about health and nutrition from a class.C．They create a popular online calorie counter.D．They teach people about food nutrition in class.11．Which of the following will Adam Carlson agree with?A．Calories matter more than protein.B．Fewer calories means better health.C．The calorie counter doesn’t help.D．Healthy eating habits are important.12．What is the best title for the text?A．Eating with an online calorie counterB．Counting calories to stay healthyC．Opinions on how to balance your dietD．A health class at Aitkin Independent AgeThere are many dying languages. But at least one has recently been born, created by children living in a remote village in northern Australia, according to Carmel O’shannessy, a linguist at the University of Michigan.The language, called Light Warlpiri, is spoken only by people under 35 in Lajamanu, a village of about 700 people in northern Australia. In all, about 350 people speak the language as their native tongue.Since many of the first speakers of this language are still alive, Dr. O’shannessy has been able to document a “new” language in the very early period of its existence.Everyone in Lajamanu speaks “strong” Warlpiri, an aboriginal(澳大利亚土著的）language unrelated to English and shared with about 4,000 people in several Australian villages. Many also speak Kriol, an English-based creole(混合语) that is widely spoken in northern Australia among aboriginal people of many native languages.Many words in Light Warlpiri originate from English or Kriol. But light Warlpiri is not simply a combination of words from different languages.Dr. O’shannessy offers this example: Nganimpa-ng gen wi-m si-m worm mai naus-ria. (We also saw worms at my house.)It is easy to see nouns come from English. But the -ria ending on aus (house) means “in” or “at,” and it comes from Warlpiri. The -m ending on the verb “si” (see) indicated that event is wither happening now or has happened, a “present or past but not future” tense that does not exist in English orWarlpiri. This is a way of talking so different from either Warlpiri or Kriol that it is considered a new language.The development of the language, Dr. O’shannessy says, began with parents using baby talk with their children in a combination of the three languages. But the children took that language as their native tongue by adding some changes, especially in the use of verb structures, which are not present in any of the source languages. “After children created the new system, it has since become a marker of their identity as being young Warlpiri from the Lajamanu Community,” Dr. O’shannessy says.13．What is Dr. O’shannessy’s main contribution?A．She has preserved aboriginal languages.B．She has worked hard to save dying languages.C．She has helped to popularize English in Australia.D．She has recorded the development of Light Warlpiri.14．What is the common language in Lajamanu?A．Kriol.B．Warlpiri.C．English.D．Light Warlpiri.15．What makes Light Warlpiri a new language?A．The spelling.B．The grammar.C．The Vocabulary.D．The pronunciation. 16．According to Dr. O’shannessy, Light Warlpiri is helpful in______. A．improving existing languagesB．understanding parent-child communicationC．showing young Warlpiri’s identityD．achieving unity among the Lajamanu Community二、七选五Social media has given rise to a cool phenomenon called “selfie（自拍）”. It refers to a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social networking website.17．Some selfies are extreme close-ups（特写镜头）, and others show part of an arm held straight outward. A few of them even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror.Everyone takes selfies, but the younger crowd seem to be especially involved in the trend.Young people are relatively heavier digital users. They are interested in staying connected to their friends. 18．.There are also kinds of psychological（心理的）factors driving people to take a selfie and upload it to a social networking site. 19．A quick and easy way to attract attention from others is to get “likes” and comments from friends. Secondly, it’s human nature to show off your own great ac hievements. When you feel good about yourself or look good, it’s far too easy to take out your phone and record it all through one or several selfies. 20．That’s right. Sometimes people are bored at work, bored at school, bored at home and even bored on the toilet. Last but not least, social media is about being social! If that means uploading as many selfies as possible, then so be it. It’s fun, and it’s a cool way to record your own life.Finally, there are things to be careful about when you’re posting selfies. It’s easy to think you’re sharing a photo with a few people. 21．So don’t post anything online, the selfie especially.A．There are lots of selfie styles.B．The rise of selfies has become universal.C．But the whole world of social media is public and everyone can see it.D．Social media, to some extent, is the driving force of their selfie activity.E.The desire to get “likes” on selfies goes back to biological behavior.F.There are also people who take selfies because they have nothing else better to do.G.The leading factor is that people want to get attention from as many people as possible.三、完形填空One summer afternoon, when I was about eight years of age, I was looking at a beautiful rainbow.

I could not tell which way was east or west, but 37 about here and there, crying and calling, though I knew that no one could 38 me. All at once I heard my nickname called, so I jumped up. It was my eldest brother. He hugged me and kissed away all my tears, and then he told me what the rainbow 39 is: “It is only painted air, and does not 40 on the earth. But it tells us something more. When you set off on a journey, you will be 41 by the rainbow through all the dark places of this world to the treasures in your heart, better, far better, than silver or gold.”22．A．end B．right C．top D．road 23．A．appreciation B．attention C．hesitation D．concern 24．A．picked up B．cut off C．came up D．set off 25．A．explained B．promised C．awarded D．attached 26．A．noticed B．explored C．passed D．reached 27．A．But B．And C．Or D．For 28．A．struggled B．imagined C．looked D．worked 29．A．above B．towards C．across D．through 30．A．young B．wild C．large D．fierce 31．A．injured B．tired C．bare D．cold 32．A．horror B．embarrassment C．sorrow D．disappointment 33．A．cried B．remembered C．returned D．determined 34．A．flown B．moved C．broken D．disappeared 35．A．dreams B．ways C．treasure D．spirits 36．A．failure B．doubts C．anger D．troubles 37．A．wandered B．hung C．came D．jumped 38．A．attack B．understand C．forgive D．hear 39．A．usually B．really C．finally D．entirely40．A．live B．rest C．drop D．lie 41．A．cheated B．moved C．led D．caught四、用单词的适当形式完成短文语法填空How are you getting along with your high school?

During his senior year in high school I win a scholarship to study singing in London. I went there in summer, and I staye d at someone’s home. People here were very sweet, and it was a real fun summer. I got the inside view of how it’s like to live there. I loved it but one thing that surprised me was that people had to go to such many different stores to do shopping. There was also a lot of differences in language. They said things like “ring you up” instead of “give you a call”. Although it took me a little while to figuring out these differences, but it was rewarding.六、提纲类作文53．假如你是李华，你校校报的英文版就身势语的差异进行征稿。
