高中外研社版选修九Module5 The First Americans单元检测_1_1.(2021·单元测试)Camels are large animals living in dry areas. There are two species of camels; the Arabian camel with a single hump (驼背) from the dry desert areas of West Asia, and the Bactrian camel with two humps from Central and East Asia. Camels are over 7 feet tall and weigh over 1,600 pounds. They will live up to 40 to 50 years. Most camels are domesticated (驯化) and fed by people. Camels are plant-eaters.Camels are very strong animals with wide, padded feet. They have thick leathery pads on their knees and chest. Camels have nostrils (鼻孔) that can open and close, protecting them from the desert environment. Bushy eyebrows and two rows of long eyelashes protect their eyes from sand. Their mouth is extremely tough, allowing camels to eat thorny (带刺的) desert plants. Their widened feet help them move without sinking into the sand. Their thick coats reflect sunlight, and also protect them from the intense heat from desert sand. Their long legs help by keeping them further from the hot ground.Camels can go without food and water for 3 to 4 days. They do not store water in their humps as is commonly believed. The humps are actually a container of fat. Camels are incredibly well-adapted to their environment. When conditions heat up, camels can increase their own body temperature, which prevents sweating and therefore water loss. They may not sweat at all during the day.Camels are sometimes called "ships of the desert" because people ride them around the hot, dry deserts of the world. However, the number of camels is becoming smaller for various reasons.(1) According to the passage, camels usually live in _____.A.Asia B.Africa C.America D.Australia(2) Paragraph 2 is mainly about _____.A.camels are useful animalsB.camels are clever animalsC.camels' body structure and functionD.camels' characteristics and habits(3) The reason why camels lose little water in deserts is that they _____.A.get water from green foods B.can adjust their temperatureC.store enough water in the humps D.can manage without water(4) What will the author probably talk about following the last paragraph?A.Ways to protect camels.B.Habitats of camels.C.Reasons for raising camels.D.Functions of camels.2.(2021·单元测试)Instagram is containing so many photos of food—now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-uprestaurant in the UK, I'd probably do it too. The Picture House is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant (巨人) Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction to photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's 'Food for Life' campaign, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. "Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special," said marketing director Margaret Jobling.The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year in a cafe in Germany customers paid by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat.(1) Instagram probably is _____.A.a restaurant free of chargeB.an application used to share photosC.a new marketing projectD.a campaign of "Food for Life"(2) "The Picture House" encourages sharing photos of its food to _____.A.create a new social media trend B.raise the price of frozen foodC.attract more customers D.reward the regular customers(3) Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?A.No Need to Pay.B.The Pop-up Diner.C.Food for Life.D.Pay by Picture.3.(2021·单元测试)We all know what a brain is. A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head. It controls our body's functions, movements, emotions and thoughts. But a brain can mean so much more.A brain can also simply be a smart person. If a person is called brainy, she is smart and intelligent. If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say "She's the brains in the family." And if you are the brains behind something, you are responsible for developing or organizing it. For example, Bill Gates is the brains behind Microsoft.Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice. Word experts say the phrase "brain trust" becamepopular when Franklin D. Roosevelt first ran for president in 1932. Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues facing the U.S. These professors were called his "brain trust."These ways we use the word "brain" all make sense. But other ways we use the word are not so easy to understand. For example, to understand the next brain expression, you first need to know the word "drain". As a verb, to drain means to remove something by letting it flow away. So a brain drain may sound like a disease where the brain flows out the ears. But, a brain drain is when a country's most educated people leave their countries to live in another. The brains are, sort of, draining out of the country.However, if people are responsible for a great idea, you could say they brainstormed it. Here, brainstorm is not an act of weather. It is a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic. For example, business leaders may use brainstorming to create new products, and government leaders may brainstorm to solve problems.If people are brainwashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean. To brainwash means to make someone accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way. Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way.(1) Why did Roosevelt successfully win the election according to the passage?A.Because word experts were popular.B.Because he got his brain trust.C.Because he was smart at giving advice.D.Because he was the brains behind Americans.(2) According to the text, if you're the CEO (chief executive officer) of Bai Du you can be called _____.A.the organ of Bai Du B.the brain drain of Bai DuC.the brains behind Bai Du D.Bai Du's brain trust(3) Which of the following expressions is always used in a negative way?A.Brainstorm B.Brain trust C.Brainwash D.Brain drain(4) What's the main idea of this article?A.The origin of the word "brain".B.The word "brain" and its stories.C.What is the brain.D.The difference between "brain trust" and "brainwash".4.(2021·单元测试) A Japanese telecom company has released (发布) a robot that it says has emotions. But rather than run in fear from it, we've welcomed it into our homes: Pepper, the "emotional robot," sold out within a minute of going on sale.Created by Aldebaran Robotics and Japanese mobile giant SoftBank, Pepper went on sale to the general public in Japan June 20. It is "the first humanoid (类人的) robot designed to live with humans," Aldebaran says on its website. Pepper costs about $1,600. And like all good mobile products, there's a$120 per month data fee, as well as an $80 per month damage insurance fee. According to a news release (新闻稿), Pepper can pick up on human emotions and create his own using a "multi-layer neural (神经的) network." Pepper's touch sensors and cameras are said to influence its mood, which is displayed on the tablet-sized screen on its chest.Pepper will sigh when unhappy, and can go around your house recording your family's daily activity. Aldebaran says Pepper can feel "joy, surprise, anger, doubt and sadness," but it doesn't say how strongly it can feel these emotions. What happens when Pepper is having a bad day? Will it, like many humans, become uncooperative? Will it ask for some time alone? What happens if it figures out that its purpose in life is just to engage in small talk? Thankfully, Pepper is only about four feet tall, with roller balls instead of legs, so if it is angry with and even turns on its owners, you'll be safe if you can make it upstairs.Aldebaran says in reality, they're probably quite a few decades away from artificial intelligence that could generate (产生) real emotions. Aldebaran wasn't immediately available for comment on when Pepper will be available outside of Japan, but additional sales are scheduled for July after the first 1,000 units sell out. SoftBank currently (目前) uses the robots in its stores as greeters, and it plans to offer Pepper to other stores in the future. Hopefully "boredom" is not an emotion Pepper can feel.(1) According to the author, Pepper _____.A.is very popular among customersB.can not only run but also show fearC.is going to be sold all over the worldD.can deal with many kinds of housework(2) How much do you need to pay for Pepper's data and damage insurance fee each year?A.80 dollars.B.120 dollars.C.1,440 dollars.D.2,400 dollars.(3) Pepper's height and roller balls are mentioned to _____.A.introduce its appearanceB.tell Pepper won't get angryC.show that safety isn't a big issueD.explain robots have strong emotions(4) What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Pepper cannot produce real emotions.B.Pepper can feel joy, surprise and boredom.C.Pepper will be sold in other countries next year.D.Pepper is being used as waiters in some restaurants.5.(2021·单元测试)Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious (难为情) when they're in poorly lit places and so more likely toeat lots of food.. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites (食欲). In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it's time to repaint, go blue.Don't forget the clock or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music.Downsize the dishes. . We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (摄入) jumps by 14 percent.And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.(1)A.Mind the colors.B.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.C.Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.D.The smaller, the better.E.If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.F.Colors are important.G.Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.(2)A.Mind the colors.B.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.C.Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.D.The smaller, the better.E.If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.F.Colors are important.G.Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.(3)A.Mind the colors.B.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.C.Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.D.The smaller, the better.E.If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.F.Colors are important.G.Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.(4)A.Mind the colors.B.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.C.Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.D.The smaller, the better.E.If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.F.Colors are important.G.Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.(5)A.Mind the colors.B.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.C.Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.D.The smaller, the better.E.If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.F.Colors are important.G.Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.6.(2021·单元测试)The other day, an old friend of mine, whom I haven't seen for a very long time,called me. What we mainly talked about was about all the good old times. But later we turned to his father.His father's health made him stay at the hospital. Because of his illness, his father suffered from insomnia (失眠) and often himself. My friend, who had not been able to sleep for a few days he had to keep watching his father's condition, became annoyed and told his father to keep and try to get some sleep. His father said that he wanted to sleep well because he was very tired and told my friend to leave him alone in the hospital if he did not want to keep him .After his father finished talking, he fell .

Grandpa came over. My exercise book was in a mess. I was afraid that he might see it and blame me for that.After a while, he patted me on the shoulder gently and said, “Keep it neat —that’s the secret.” He then explained that when he checked his students’ homework, he would like the neat ones. I stillremember the lively examples he told me. For example, I can keep all my equal signs in line down the page when I’m doing equations(方程式). I made up my mind to do better in future.After finishing math homework, I began to write an English essay, but I could not think of anything to write. I asked, “Grandpa, is there a secret to writing essays?”He smiled, which made me feel warm and relaxed. “If there’s a secret, I suppose it’s imagination. If your essays lack it, anyone reading what you’ve written will lose track of what you are trying to say.”H e continued, “Don’t worry, Adam. We’ve all got an imagination. Well, if you’re stuck, just look up any of your reading books to see how it’s done. Your Harry Potter books will do.” I nodded.“Who’s to say you can’t be as successful a writer as J K Rowling one day? Just use your imagination; write a sentence and think of one to follow it, and then keep going...”“Thanks, Grandpa.” I practiced using imagination to guide my writing from then on.Thanks to the two secrets, my exercise book is clean and tidy now and I can write very good essays.36.

Their range extends down into central and eastern United States. Male Cardinals have bright red feathers, while female adults tend to be more brown or grey. Males have a black mask that extends down to their chest. Females don’t usually have a mask, but some have dark markings on their face.Baby Cardinals closely resemble females, except that they’re born with a black beak (鸟嘴). As they grow up, their beaks transforms from black to a cream color before turning orange. Northern Cardinals live in forests or in thick bushes surrounding people’s living places — both are good places for these birds to gather food. Their strong beaks help them dig insects in bushes and bite into tasty seeds, grains and fruits. The females build nests using grass. They build their nests in the middle of thick bushes, which offer them protection from attackers such as cats, dogs and snakes. When attackers get too close to the nests, both male and female Cardinals give a shrill chirp(尖叫声)to scare them away. Each year, female Cardinals lay three eggs on average. Forabout two weeks, the female stays with the eggs while the male brings her food and keeps attackers away. These song birds communicate through calls and songs. Males use a combination of singing and shaking their feathers to attract a female’s attention.Over the past 200 years, Northern Cardinals have expanded their range and moved toward warmer areas and closer to humans — a dependable source of food from bird feeders.40. What can we learn from the text?A. Male Cardinals have bright feathers on their chest.B. Female Cardinals have black feathers on their face.C. Baby Cardinals have a milky beak when they’re young.D.

Well, New York’s new law says you can’t. And you’ll be fined $100 if you do it on a New York City street.The law went into force last month, following recent research and a shocking number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets(小玩意)when crossing the street. Who’s to blame? Scientists say that our multitasking(多任务的)abilities are limited.“We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can,”says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist(神经科学家)in Tennessee. “But a core limitation is the inability to concentrate on two things at once.”The young are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this perception is open to question. A group of 18 to 21-year-olds and a group of 35 to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate images into numbers, using a simple code.The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or an instant message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and accuracy.It is difficult to measure the productivity lost by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spira, chief analyst at Basex, a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year. The estimate is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers’ time was spent on interruptions and recovery time before they returned to their main tasks.47. Listening to MP3 when you cross the street is _____.A. a good ideaB. a bad ideaC. a cool activityD. a legal practice48. The Oxford University research suggests _____.A. the young are the great multitaskersB. the middle-aged are the great multitaskersC. the young are not the great multitaskers as people thinkD. the young are good at doing more than one thing at the same time49. When interrupted, _____.A. the younger group did better than the older groupB. the older group did far better than the younger groupC. both groups couldn’t do the jobD. the older group did as well as the younger group50. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. Productivity loss caused by multitaskers.B. A survey done by Basex.C. Great loss caused by traffic accident.D. Basex, a business-research firm.51. What we can learn from the passage?A. People should concentrate on one task at a time.B. Young people shouldn’t be confident about themselves.C. Office workers are mostly young multitaskers.D. Middle-aged people are the real multitaskers.EOne of the world’s oldest creatures, a giant tortoise (乌龟)believed to have been about 250 years old, has died in the Calcutta zoo where it spent more than half its long life.Addwaita, which means “the one and only” in the local Bengali language, was one of four Aldabra tortoises brought to India by British sailors in the 18th century. Zoo officials say he was a gift for Lord Robert Clive of the East India Company, who was instrumental in establishing British colonial (殖民的) rule in India, before he returned to England in 1767. Long after the other three tortoises died, Addwaita continued to thrive(茁壮成长), living in Clive’s garden before being moved to the zoo in 1875.“According to records in the zoo, the age of the giant tortoise, Addwaita, who died on Wednesday, would be about 250 years,” said zoo director Subir Chowdhury. That would have made him much older than the world’s oldest documented living animal: Harriet, a 176-year-old Galapagos tortoise who l ives at the Australia Zoo north of Brisbane, according to the zoo’s Web site. She was taken from the island of Isla Santa Cruz by Charles Darwin in the 19th century.Aldabra tortoises come from the Aldabra atoll(环礁) in the Seychelle islands in the Indian Ocean,and often live to more than 100 years of age. Males can weigh up to 550 pounds. Addwaita, the zoo’s biggest attraction, had been unwell for the last few days, said local Forest Minister Jogesh Burman.“We were keeping a watch on him. When the zoo-keepers went to his enclosure on Wednesday they found him dead,” Burman said.52. By now, the oldest documented living animal in the world is about _____.A. 176 years oldB. 100 years oldC. 250 years oldD. 200 years old53. In the last few days before Addwaita died, it _____.A. had been sent to hospital for treatmentB. had been playing with travelersC. had been found not better than beforeD. had stayed in his enclosure for days54. Which is the best title of the passage?A. An Old Aldabra Tortoise Died in IndiaB. A Remarkable Life: Tortoise Dies at 250C. A Special Kind of Tortoise—AddwaitaD. The Oldest Animal Aldabra Tortoise Died55. Where did Addwaita use to live before being moved to the zoo?A. In Brisbane.B. At the Australia Zoo.C. In Clive’s garden.D. In Britain.四、书面表达(共两节,满分45分)第一节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)Many people believe that Americans love their cars almost more than anything else. It may be true. From the time youngsters(小孩)become fourteen years old, they are likely to dream of having their own cars. Many young people work after school during their last year of high school in order to buy a car learning to drive and getting a driver’s license may be one of the most exciting times of a young person’s life.People who almost never go to a doctor when they are sick will take their cars to a repairman at the first sign of a problem. Those who do not like to work around the home on Saturdays may devote most of that day to washing and waxing(打蜡) their cars. For some families it is not enough to have one car. They often have two or three---one for work and one for recreation(娱乐)。
