ADear students,Most of us get some exercise walking or riding our bikes to school, but that just isn't enough. Why not get into shape by playing the most popular sport in the world — soccer?Two weeks ago, Ms. Goldstein, the physical education teacher, posted a notice about an exciting new soccer club (for Grades 3-5). To join, all you have to do is sign your name and be at school for the fun of it on Saturday mornings. You'll make new friends and share information about famous teams and players.Ms. Goldstein will teach, so you'll learn basic skills and new techniques (技巧) to improve your game. That's good news because soccer is a game you can love three seasons a year. The only time you can't play is when there is snow.However, it is hard to believe that only nineteen people signed up for the new club. Maybe kids don't want to give up their Saturday mornings. But if you think about how we spend Saturday mornings now, soccer looks good. Doing housework and watching TV are not as much fun as playing soccer with friends. If you didn't sign up because you've never played soccer before, don't worry. Beginners are welcome and Ms. Goldstein will give you more help.Just act now! The equipment is cheap. All you have to bring is your feet.The Students' Union21.

Then we went to his house and asked if he could give us our ball. He said, “No”. We felt helpless. But suddenly we came up with an idea. There was a water tank (水箱) behind the man's house. I told Kavya, “We can climb onto the water tank and jump over the gate.” Kavya agreed, but we were both wearing skirts. We couldn't climb in those. “We can get it back tomorrow,” said Kavya.The next day we went there with Kavya's brother Vijay. He said, “Shout loudly if you need me.” Kavya climbed onto the water tank first and then she climbed down into the man's house. I followed her. We were looking under a bed for the ball when we heard a noise. It was Vijay. “Mother is calling you,” he said in a low voice.We hurried out taking the lost ball with us. Along with the ball was a surprise! But we had to leave the house quickly. When we reached Kavya's house, the TV was on. It was news time. I couldn't believe my ears when it said that 20 gold bars were stolen from a gold shop. They showed a picture of the gold bars, which were exactly like the one we had seen in the man's house.We told the story to Kavya's mother right away, and she called the police. Soon the police caught the man. They found all the gold bars in his house. A few days later a policeman came to us and said, “Thank you for helping us catch the guy. Here is abag for all of you.” When we opened it, it was full of storybooks and lovely toys. Standing beside us, Kavya's mother was all smiles.24.

When Shania was eight years old, her mother took her to many different bars, clubs and concerts to perform (表演). In high school, Shania joined a local band (乐队), with which she often performed.

All his friends already had one, so his mom and dad agreed. During the first few weeks, Jason spent a lot of time in front of his computer because he had to learn how it worked. He was really interested in learning all about it and he even started writing computer programs himself.One day Jason found a website where he could play chess either against the computer or against other people from all over the world. From then on, Jason seemed to have just one interest in life, his computer. Whenever his parents told him that he was spending too much time with his computer, Jason went into denial. He did not think that he had a problem at all.Then the unthinkable happened: Jason's computer broke down. But his parents decided not to buy him a new one. Jason said that he needed a computer for school, and he promised that he'd spend less time with it. But his parents refused to give in. Finally, Jason felt so hopeless that he took the only way out and killed himself.Robert Johnson, a psychologist (心理学家) on the subject, says, “Computer addiction (沉溺) is an illness that can influence anyone of us. Nowadays, increasing numbers of people are spending more and more time working with computers. While this isn't a problem for most users, some people, especially teenagers, often use thecomputer to get away from the real world. This is especially true of shy people. For them, meeting people online is a way of hiding their true selves. In cyberspace, they can be whoever they want to be and create their own virtual (虚拟的) world. But what happens when they can no longer enter their virtual world?”32. Why did Jason want to buy a computer according to Paragraph 1?A. To play chess.B. To make friends.C. To avoid being an outsider.D. To write computer programs.33. By saying “Jason went into denial”, the author means _____.A. Jason would not listenB. Jason enjoyed himselfC. Jason would turn it offD. Jason changed his mind34. What was Jason's relationship with his parents like when his computer broke down?A. Fine.B. So-so.C. Terrible.D. Unknown.35.

人教版新课标高中英语 2019-2020学年 必修二 Unit 2 The Olympic Games 单元测试 含答案详解

Unit 2The Olympic Games本套试卷分为第Ⅰ卷和第Ⅱ卷两部分。
总分120分。
考试时间100分钟。
第Ⅰ卷Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)AIt was a Saturday morning,a day I believed would end in victory.For weeks,I had been preparing for the match at the county fairgrounds,sponsored(赞助) by our local riding club.My horse,Tonka, and I could run faster than any other kid in the county, and I hoped to bring home a blue ribbon.My mother usually drove me to the riding events, but on this day, my father planned to drop us off at the fairgrounds with the horse trailer(马车).Although we never discussed it, my father's struggle with alcoholism had become the silent centre of our family life.My mother was paralyzed with fear and indecision.Her salary as a part-time nurse couldn't possibly support four children.No one talked about alcoholism in those days,and it was my family secret.We climbed on the trailer and my father pulled out of our driveway and headed towards the fairgrounds,picking up speed once we hit the main road.It wasn't until we felt a big bump that I realized the trailer was out of control.The dream of my riding winner disappeared.Tonka lay on the floor, completely still.No words were possible.I knew he was dead.Suddenly a man appeared.“Are you all right?” he asked.“Yes.”I answered,although I knew that nothing was all right.“Sit here on the grass,”he said.He bent down to look into the trailer.Tonka remained still.He touched Tonka and then turned to face me.“He is going to be OK.He has just been knocked unconscious.” He rub bed Tonka's cheeks and gently pulled his ears.Tonka rose to his feet.Our father was talking to a police officer.He was upset and in pain and took little notice of me.I looked back;the man was gone.I never forgot him.He gave me strength and a sense of hope in a dark and frightening moment.1.The writer went to the fairgrounds because he wanted to ________.A.take part in a horse racingB.buy Mum a blue ribbonC.join the local riding clubD.train his horse there2.We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.A.the family kept silent at homeB.the family lived a secret lifeC.Father was addicted to alcoholD.Mother was physically disabled3.What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?A.Once formed,bad habits are difficult to break.B.Unexpected kindness is a light that shines in the darkness.C.However mean your life is,meet it and live it.D.Family is a place of encouragement, a safe harbour in the storms.BSince I became a full-time freelancer(自由职业者), I've found one of the hardest things to do is to get up early. Without the danger of being fired, there just hasn't been a lot of motivation(动机) to get out of bed.I've quickly learned that getting up is the key to success and better yet: waking up early is really just a habit.The most important thing to keep in mind is that you must have strong reasons to get out of bed. Motivation is the only thing keeping us from lying in bed all day.Writing down all the big and important things you'll do the next day can give you an extra push in your goal to wake up early and quickly.Don't read in bed. Spending as little time as possible in bed will actually help your body realize that the bed is for sleeping, and not for lying awake for hours. The goal of reading in bed is just to help you fall asleep within 10 minutes.Stress is one of the main causes of poor sleep. Relax yourself before getting into bed. Try controlling breathing exercises or taking yoga exercises to lower your stress level.These are just a few ways you can use to wake up earlier. Finding the best way is the most important, and it requires a little work. The key thing is that waking up should be a pleasantexperience. If you can make waking up something you are looking forward to, you're already halfway on your journey towards becoming an early riser.4.What do we know about the author?A.He has a full-time job outside. B.He likes lying in bed all day.C.He was once fired by a company. D.He has difficulty getting up early.5.The author gives us some tips to help us________.A.find the key to success B.become an early riserC.fall asleep within 10 minutes D.relax after a day's hard work6.Which of the following is NOT true about doing yoga?A.It is a good way to reduce stress. B.It can help you sleep.C.It can make you worried. D.It will help you wake up earlier.CWhat an athlete eats before, during and after exercise is important for comfort and performance during exercise. While eating soon before exercise doesn't provide the fuel needed for the activity, it can prevent hunger during exercise. The major source of fuel for muscles is stored in the days before exercise. This is one reason that the post-exercise meal is very important to recovery and being ready for the next exercise.Exercising on a full stomach is not a good idea. Food that remains in your stomach during an event may cause stomach upset. To make sure you have enough energy, yet reduce stomach discomfort, you should allow a meal to fully digest before the start of the event.If you have an early morning race or exercise, it's best to get up early enough to eat your pre-exercise meal. If not, you should try to eat or drink something easily digestible about 20~30 minutes before the event. The closer you are to the time of your event the less you should eat. You can have a liquid meal closer to your event than a solid meal because your stomach digests liquids faster.Because glucose(葡萄糖) is the energy source for most exercise, a pre-exercise meal should include foods that are high in carbohydrates and easy to digest. This includes foods such as fruit, bread, energy bars and drinks.Planning is necessary if you are competing in an all-day event, such as track meets or other tournaments. You should plan ahead and prepare meals and snacks that you have tried before. Do not experiment with something new on the event day.7.Fully digesting before an event may________.A.cause stomach upset B.give enough energy and stomach discomfort C.give comfort and good performance during exercise D.lead to hunger during exercise 8.From the passage we can learn________.A.you'd better have your pre-exercise meal after an early morning raceB.fruits and bread are high in glucose and easy to digestC.planning is not necessary for track meetsD.you can try something new for your meals on the event day9.What does the underlined word “digest” mean?A.Absorb. B.Interest. C.Disappear. D.Recover.10.What is the best title for the passage?A.Tips for eating before exercise B.What to eat during exerciseC.Fully digesting before exercise D.Planning for your exercise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。

AAs the saying goes, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” Music is very important in our lives and here are four of the greatest musicians in history.Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)Born in Bonn, Germany, Beethoven never held an official position in Vienna. He supported himself by giving concerts, teaching piano, and the sale of his compositions(作品). The last 30 years of Beethoven’s life were filled with a lot of hard times, the first o f which was his deafness. Beethoven’s music greatly influenced the next generation of musicians.Johann Sebastian Bach(1685-1750)Bach, “the father of modern music”, was born in Eisenach, Germany. His parents died when he was nine years old, and in 1695 he went to live with his brother Johann Christoph, who was an organist(风琴手) in Ohrdruf. He stayed there until 1700. Eight years later, he moved back to Weimar, where he served as court organist for nine years. His music greatly influenced classical music.Frédéric Chopin(1810-1849)Chopin was born in Warsaw, Poland. He showed a talent for the piano at a very young age. Chopin began composing when he was still a child, but some of his early works have been lost. He gave his first public concert in 1818. Chopin was considered as the leading musician of his time.Franz Schubert(1797-1828)Schubert was born and died in Vienna. Unlike most of his predecessors, Schubert was not a great performer. He never had much money but he was very productive. He wrote his first masterpiece when he was only sixteen. However, he died young, before his talents had even been known.1. Beethoven did not make a living by ________.A. teaching studentsB. giving concertsC. selling his worksD. doing business2. Bach worked as an organist in Weimar until ________.A. 1765B. 1707C. 1750D. 17173. What do we know about the four musicians?A. They all lived a hard life at their old age.B. They were all talented musicians.C. They became famous at a young age.D. They were all good at playing the piano.BWho would have thought that potato fries could unite an entire country? Well, that seems to be the case in Belgium where there is currently a movement to have Belgian potato fries officially recognized as cultural heritage.The fries are served in a paper cone(圆锥体) from a “fritkot”, which is a shack(小屋) or a food truck. Across Belgium, there are at least 5, 000 fritkots which is 10 times more common than McDonald's restaurants in the United States.The movement for the fries to be declared official cultural heritage was started by UNAFRI, also known as the national association of fritkot owners. They claim that their establishments represent Belgium very well. “A cone of potato chips is Belgium in miniature(微模型). What's amazing is that this way of thinking is the same, in spite of differences among communities and regions,” added spokesman Bernard Lefevre.Tourists can even be seen to line up with locals in Brussels to buy a cone of fries from well-known fritkots such as Frit F lagey and Maison Antoine. “Before I came here, the only thing I knew about Belgium was that they liked their fries,” said Rachael Webb, a tourist from Ottowa, Canada.In order to be recognized by UNESCO, it has to be formally supported by the Belgian government of culture.As of right now, UNESCO has a list of 314 items of “cultural heritage” that they say is worthy enough to be preserved. Items on the list include Turkish coffee and the old native singing of the Central African Republic.Potatoes reached Belgium in the 16th century, but it wasn't until the 19th century that they were cut up into fries and sold as a meal.4.It is considered that potato fries could unite Belgium because they________.represent Belgian history B. are enjoyed by many BelgiansC. make a huge profit each yearD. are recognized by foreigners5. The movement to have potato fries declared cultural heritage was started by________.A. the Belgian governmentB. many Belgian communitiesC. a Belgian industryD. a Belgian cultural association6. From the passage, we can know that Maison Antoine________.A. is a popular Belgian tourist destinationB. is very welcome among CanadiansC. is a famous restaurant in BelgiumD. is a big international company7. It can be inferred from the passage that foods and drinks________.A. are thought to be a symbol of national achievementB. are regarded as a culture by many peopleC. express ideas of a particular periodD. record the traditions of a regionCWildlife faces threats from habitat destruction, pollution and other human actions. Although protecting wildlife can seem difficult at times, even small actions in your own neighborhood can help protect many different animals. As the saying goes, “Think globally and act locally.” You can protect wild life for future generations.Create wildlife-friendly areas in your backyard. When choosing your lawn and landscaping, choose native plants that can provide food or living places for native wildlife. This will also help cut down on pollution. Add bird or bat houses to your yard or garden to attract these species and offer places to them to live in.Avoid disrupting(扰乱) the natural ecosystem in our area. Non-native plants or animals can destroy habitats, particularly if there is no natural predator(捕食性动物) to keep the species in a certain amount. They can kill or disturb native plants that provide food and living places for wildlife.Practice a greener lifestyle. By saving water and fossil fuels, you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you. Take public transportation when you can, turn off electric devices when you’re not using them, take shorter showers and keep your heat at or below 20°C during the winter. Become knowledgeable about what can cause global warming, which disrupts migration patterns and habitats.Buy products that are wildlife-friendly. Avoid products that are made from threatened or endangered animals. Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.Talk to or write to policymakers about protecting wildlife. Write letters to a local newspaper. Discuss ways to help animals with friends and family members.Limit the family size. Population growth is one of the major factors in habitat destruction. By living in established city limits and limiting the family size to around two children per family, the earth’s population will stabilize(稳定) and native habitats can be protected.8. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A. It is impossible to protect wildlife.B. You can protect wildlife by taking small actions.C. Protecting wildlife needs ideas rather than actions.D. Humans are big threats to wildlife in fact.9. What should we do to protect wildlife?A. Stop non-native plants and animals destroying the natural ecosystem.B. Know more knowledge about wildlife.C. Increase the number of the population in the world.D. Write letters about animals to your friends.10. Which of the following can be taken as a greener lifestyle?A. Planting native trees in your backyard.B. Keeping the water above 20°C when you are bathing.C. Taking a bus when you are going out.D. Only eating vegetables.11. What’s the best title for the text?A. Why global warming affects wildlifeB. Whether we are friendly to wildlifeC. What makes wildlife endangeredD. How we can protect wildlifeDStarbucks says it uses one billion plastic straws(吸管) every year, but it plans to stop the use of plastic straws in each of its 28, 000 stores across the globe. Starbucks’ announc ement comes just a week after Seattle, the city where the first Starbucks opened, forbade plastic straws.In order to replace the straws, Starbucks has developed a new lid(盖子) for some of its drinks like iced coffee and tea. Actually, the lid has a raised lip. Some people have compared the new lids to “adult sippy cups”, CNN Business reported.Starbucks is always saying it is a company that cares much about the environment. In recent years, awareness about the effect that plastic is having on the environment—in particular, the ocean—has caused scientists to sound the alarm about a need to curb the use of plastics.“What we realize is that these billions of little things in the ocean, such as one man’s toothbrush, one lady’s comb, all can cause the problem,” Emily Penn said. She is the co-founder of an expedition(探险队).“But what makes us happy is that we can solve it well through our daily actions. We need billions of small actions—just little daily things to reduce the pollution.”Customers who still want to enjoy a Starbucks drink with a straw will be able to request one, but it won’t be plastic. Instead, they will be given a straw made from paper or other eco-friendly materials.In May, McDonald’ s said it would experience a change from the use of plastic to paper straws in Ireland and the United Kingdom. The announcement from Starbucks could be a sign that more large chain restaurants will accept this kind of activity.12.How does Starbucks serve customers without using plastic straws?By selling iced drinks.By providing cups without lids.By using spoons to replace straws.By providing a new kind of cups.13. What does the underlined word “curb” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Stop. B.Notice. C.Control. D.Report.14. According to Emily Penn, what can be the main cause of sea pollution?A. Plastic alarms.B. Some special lids.C. Paper straws in the ocean.D. Small things thrown into the sea.15. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Starbucks Will Stop Using Plastic StrawsB. Starbucks Is Trying to Reduce Sea PollutionC. Starbucks Will Invent a New Kind of StrawsD. Starbucks Is Trying to Attract More Customers第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

On the Twentieth CenturyBMichael Jackson was on the road of performing when he was five years old. As is known to all, the road to fame and fortune is a long, hard one.Michael remembers those early years when he was young. “My father was a machine operator,” he explained, “and he worked at a steel plant. My mother worked at Sears, a big department store. But they were both musicians.”Michael’s father Joe Jackson realized his sons had a lot of talent, and he knew he could train them to become fine musicians. In those days there were plenty of music groups and some of them were very good. He knew if his sons were to stand out, they would have to be the best.Practice makes perfect.
