AAnger is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry.Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit someone, but sometimes, you hide your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.In fact, it's not good to hide your anger, and it's normal for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It's helpful to talk about your anger with an adult, such as parents, a teacher, etc. When you talk about anger, those bad feelings can start to go away. Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug; go for a bike ride ; think about good things, etc.Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse. Don't let your anger control you.21．You may not get angry when ________.A. there is too much homework this weekendB. your favorite basketball team wins the gameC. a friend breaks your favorite thingD. your parents don't let you watch TV22．________ doesn't show that you're angry.A. Taking a faster breathB. Getting a headacheC. Getting a stomachacheD. Wanting to protect someone23．According to the passage, you can do everything when you get angry EXCEPT ________.A. go for a bike rideB. think about good thingsC. talk to a good friendD. say bad things to the people around you答案：本文是一篇说明文，作者说明了生气时人的外在表现和内在影响，告诉人们应该尽量控制自己的情绪，尽量避免生气，同时给出了排解怒气的方法。

答案：DBMany cities in the United States have traffic problems, and some of the worst are in Los Angeles, California. Los Angeles is a big city with a large downtown area. Almost everyone in the city uses a car to get around instead of using publictransportation. Many people, who live far from the city, drive many kilometers to work and back every day.Experts say one way to solve the traffic problems in Los Angeles would be to make people want to use public transportation instead of their own cars. People say taking a bus should be easier, faster and cheaper than driving. One piece of advice is to reduce the cost of taking the bus. People who usually drive could save a lot of money on the cost of gas and parking. Also, Los Angeles could make the buses easier to use by having them go to more places in the city. There could also be more special lanes on the highways that only buses can take. These changes would make taking the bus faster and easier than driving a car.Other experts say the best way to solve the traffic problems is to charge people to drive on the highways. These charges would be for the most crowded roads, and drivers would have to pay to take them. This would make the traffic less on these roads ，and the money collected this way could be used to improve the roads and public transportation.24．How do most people travel in Los Angeles?A. By car.B. By train.C. By bus.D. By bike.25．From the passage, we know that Los Angeles ________.A. has a small downtown areaB. is a poor and dirty cityC. encourages people to buy carsD. has many traffic problems26．Which way of encouraging people to use public transportation is NOT talked about in the passage?A. Having buses go to more places in the city.B. Making more bus lanes on highways.C. Increasing the price of gas and parking.D. Reducing the cost of taking a bus.27．What is the best title for the passage?A. The Causes of Traffic ProblemsB. Ways to Solve Traffic ProblemsC. Reasons for Taking Public TransportationD. Traffic Problems and Pollution答案：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国洛杉矶交通拥挤情况及缓解巨大的交通压力和应对拥堵的解决办法。
24．解析：细节理解题。
根据第一段的“Almost everyone in the city uses a car to get around”可知在洛杉矶，人们一般开车出行，故选A。

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。

单元综合测评uni t 2 Book 1(时间：100分钟分值：120分)第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)AWhat is the most valuable title for Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade—being named seven-time NBA All-Star or an Olympic gold medalist?Neither of the above.Being “a good father” is the most important thing to the 30yearold, according to Wade's new book, A Father First: How My Life Became Bigger than Basketball.The book was released last month, and is now among The New York Times best-seller list.It talks about Wade's life in and out of basketball and his relationship with his two sons, Zaire, 10, and Zion, 5.“I'm blessed every day with the joy of hearing fans and announcers call my name.Not to mention various nicknames—from ‘DWade’ to‘Flash’ to just ‘No.3’．But none of that comes close to the thrill of hearing my sons call out my most favourite name of all, ‘Daddy！’ Anytime, anywhere, any day，” he writes in his new book.Wade says he was determined to be a good father because of his experience growing up with divorced parents on the South Side, Chicago's poor neighbourhoods.When he was a kid, his mother was addicted to drugs.His sister could do nothing but take 10-year-old Dwyane to live with his father, away from the drug deals and police raids(搜捕) he had grown accustomed to.Wade admits the new environment allowed him to play basketball with his stepbrothers and their friends.After divorcing Siohvaughn Funches-Wade, his high school sweetheart and the children's mother, in 2010, Wade gained joint(共同的) custody(监护权) of the kids.However, he had a bitter court battle before gaining full custody of them the next year.For Wade, breaking the cycle of “babies__having__babies”—one that he says ran in his family and his African-American community—was at first a priority(优先事项) and then a challenge.He wanted to be the best full-time dad he could be.As an NBA exception without a tattoo(文身), Wade says he wishes to be his kids' role model and that fatherhood helps him mature.“Living in Miami, and playing in the NBA, everything moves quickly, but my kids slow things down.Becoming a dad matured me.I was already a mature kid, but it has made me grow up a little faster so I am ready for the responsibilities of being a father，” he told the USA Today.1．What does the article mainly talk about?A．An introduction of Wade's new book.B．Wade's deep love for his children.C．How Wade's parents influenced his development.D．What Wade has learned from his early experiences.2．What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A．Wade takes his nicknames to his heart.B．Wade wants to thank his fans.C．Wade is more concerned with his career.D．Wade cares more about his sons.3．What did Wade think of the cycle of “babies having babies”？A．He wished he could get away from it.B．He thought it was reasonable in African-American community.C．He thought it was a challenge to adapt to it.D．He wanted to follow the tradition that ran in his family.BAre you looking for an exercise programme that's easy to learn, wants little or no equipment, and relaxes your mind while building your body? If so, please keep reading to learn more about yoga.Yoga seems like a hot new trend(趋势), but yoga actually began more than 3，000 years ago in India.The word yoga means to unite mind, body, and spirit.Although yoga includes physical exercise, it is also a lifestyle of which exercise is just a part.Training your mind, body, and breath, as well as connecting with your spirituality(精神性) is the main goal of the yoga lifestyle.Yoga has lots of benefits.It can improve strength, balance and patience.In addition, many people who practise yoga say that it reduces anxiety and stress, and even helps them sleep better.Many gyms and community centres offer yoga classes.Your neighbourhood may also have a yogatraining centre.Some yoga teachers offer private classes for students who want more professional training.You could also try using a yoga DVD. Websites, DVDs, and books can't compare to learning yoga from a teacher, but they can help you find out more.They can be especially helpful if you have already taken yoga classes and want to practise at home.Dress comfortably in clothing that allows you to move your body fully.Shorts or pants and a T-shirt or tank top are best.Yoga is practised bare foot, so you don't have to worry about special shoes.Before you begin any type of exercise programme, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor, especially if you have a health problem.4．From the passage we can learn many facts about yoga EXCEPT that ________．A．it's easy to learnB．it needs little or no equipmentC．it can build your body and relax your mindD．physical exercise is the most important part of yoga lifestyle5．If you want to get more professional training, you'd better ________．A．have your own yoga training centreB．take private classes offered by yoga teachersC．learn yoga from yoga DVDs and booksD．go to India for further learning6．Before you do yoga, you should ________．A．wear your best clothesB．wear special shoes for yogaC．ask your doctor for adviceD．read a lot of yoga booksCChocolate is good for your heart, skin and brain.People early think that chocolate is bad for their health.They describe chocolate as “something to die for” or say “death by chocolate”．Now they should __bite__their__tongues! Evidence(证据) is showing that some kinds of chocolate are actually good for you in the following ways：A happier heartScientists at Harvard University recently examined 136 studies on cocoa—the main ingredient(成分) in chocolate and found that it does seem to strengthen the heart.Studies have shown heart benefits(受益) a lot from cocoa in chocolate.Better blood pressure(血压)If yours is high, chocolate may help.Jeffrey Blumberg from Tufts University recently found that people with high blood pressure who ate 3.5 ounces of dark chocolate per day for two weeks saw their blood pressure drop quickly.Muscle magicChocolate milk may help you recover after a hard workout(锻炼)．In a small study at Indiana University, people who drank chocolate milk between workouts did better than those who had some sports drinks.Better for your skinGerman researchers gave 24 women a half-cup of special cocoa every day.After three months, the women's skin was smoother(平滑的)．The research shows that chocolate helps protect the skin.Brain gainsIt sounds almost too good to be true, but research suggests that chocolate may improve your memory, attention span and problem-solving.7．What's the meaning of “bite their tongues” in the first paragraph?A．Think of it. B．Speak up.C．Stop talking. D．Listen to it.8．Which of the following is WRONG?A．Studies have shown heart benefits a lot from cocoa in chocolate.B．Chocolate may help you lower your blood pressure.C．People early know chocolate is good for their health.D．Chocolate may improve your memory, attention span and problem-solving.9．The idea that chocolate may help lower blood pressure was given by________．A．scientists at Harvard UniversityB．Jeffrey Blumberg from Tufts UniversityC．scientists at Indiana UniversityD．German researchers10．What's the best title for the text?A．Chocolate, a healthy foodB．More chocolate, less healthC．Chocolate and blood pressureD．Advice on eating chocolate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。

Have you lost your mind？”I hadn't lost my mind，but I had lost my fire.It's an entirely different thing to push toward that dream when you feel alone.“I'm not trying to break your heart，Mom，”I said.“I just don't want to do it anymore.” “I know you miss home.But you've signed a contract that says you will represent your country to the best of your ability.You've got a responsibility to your teammates.Andnow you just want to walk away? I will not let you be dishonorable.If you don't like gymnastics，then at the very least，you will finish the season.”The next afternoon as I dragged myself into Chow's gym，I thought of the efforts Mom had made in order to pay for my training.I thought of my two sisters: Arielle，who gave up ballroom dancing，and Joyelle，who stopped ice skating so that our single mom could afford to keep me in gymnastics.For now，here's what you need to know: Exactly 210 days before I ever attempted my first vault (跳跃) in the London Summer Olympics，my leap of faith came this close to ending in a crash of disaster.()16.The author wanted to give up gymnastics because ________.A．she thought she loved music moreB．she was overcome with homesicknessC．an Olympic gold was beyond her reachD．the training for the Olympics was too hard()17.How did the author's mother feel on hearing her words?A．Heart－broken.B．Delighted.C．Helpless.D．Calm.()18.We can infer from the passage that the author ________.A．was born into an athletic familyB．realized her Olympic dreamC．changed her mind in the endD．had a bad childhood()19.What would be the best title for the passage?A．A Dream Come TrueB．My Leap of FaithC．My MotherD．A Quitter()20.Who will be interested in the passage?A．A medical student who will graduate from university.B．A healthcare professional who will give a lecture on cancer.C．A marketing professional who is looking for customers.D．A gymnastic player who wants to give up competition.【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。

It is also usually the most exciting. As the leader comes into the stadium to run the last few meters of the 42－kilometre race，the crowd rises to its feet to shout and cheer. The name of the race comes from a battle in Ancient Greece. According to the story，a soldier ran from the scene of the battle，Marathon，to Athens，to bring the news of a Greek victory against the Persians. He died just after arriving.The marathon has been an Olympic event since the modern games started in 1896.At first the distance was 40 kilometers—the distance between Marathon and Athens. In 1908，however，at the London Olympics，it was changed. The King of England wanted therunners to leave from his castle in Windsor and arrive in a new stadium in central London. The distance was 26 miles—about 42 kilometers. In fact，the 1908 marathon ended dramatically(戏剧性地)．When the leader，an Italian，entered the stadium he turned the wrong way and fell onto the ground. Officials picked him up and helped him to the finishing line，just as the second runner，an American，entered the stadium. The Americans protested(抗议)and in the end the American runner was declared(宣布)the winner. Since then，there have been many more exciting marathons.In fact，you don't have to wait for the Olympic Games to run or watch a marathon，as there are marathons in over sixty countries and hundreds of cities around the world today. One of the most famous marathons is in New York，and is watched by two million people around the streets and across the bridges of the city's five boroughs(纽约市的行政区)，and past New York's famous landmarks. But perhaps one of the most beautiful and extraordinary(最特别的)marathons ever is the Great Wall Marathon，which most competitors find is the toughest course to run.The marathon is the final Olympic event because it is thought to be the hardest. But experts believe that most people—even people who are not particularly good at sport—can run a marathon，if they train for it.36．When the leader comes into the stadium，the crowd________．A．run to his or her feet happilyB．shout with excitementC．carry him or her to the finishing lineD．sing and dance37．Who ran to the finishing line first in 1908?A．The American runner.B．The leading runner.C．The Greek winner.D．The Italian soldier.38．Which is the most special of the marathon events in the world? A．The Marathon in New York.B．The Marathon in the Beijing Olympic Games.C．The Great Wall Marathon.D．The Marathon in London in 2012.39．What's the main idea of the passage?A．Marathon is the most important event.B．Marathon is the most popular event.C．Marathon is the hardest event.D．Marathon is the final Olympic event.BWhen a child is told he is“uncool”，it can be very painful. He may say he doesn't care，and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it's not there.Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say，“Why are you worried about what other children think about you？It doesn't matter！”，children know that it does matter. Instead，an active way may be best. You could say，“I'm going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.”If a boy is having trouble making friends，the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child's popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child，or let him be a partner with that child in activities，etc.There are things that parents can do at home，too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider delicious. When you plan trips，picnics，movies，and other shows，invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may beshutting him out. Then，if he has good qualities，he can start to build real friendship of his own.40．A child who has been informed of being “uncool” may ________．A．care nothing about itB．do something uncool on purposeC．develop a sense of angerD．pretend to get hurt very much41．A teacher can help an unpopular child by ________．A．seeing the child as the teacher's favorite.B．asking the child to do something for partners.C．forcing other children to make friends with the child.D．offering the child chances to show his good qualities.42．How can parents help their child fit in better?A．By cooking delicious food for him.B．By being kind to his schoolmates.C．By forcing him to invite friends home.D．By taking him to have picnics in the park.43．The text is mainly about ________．A．how an unpopular child can be helpedB．why some children are unpopularC．what good qualities unpopular children haveD．who care about unpopular childrenCI used to know nothing about fairy tales. To improve my reading skills, my mother gave me books that are a little bit difficult for me to understand. I didn't even know that fairy tales existed until I attended public school at the age of eight. Of course once I found out about books of this type, I would read them as quickly as I could.Again and again, I begged my mother to take me to the library and let me choose a few. Finally, my request was granted. After our return from the library, I started reading them eagerly and energetically, one after another. And I tried to put myself in the female character's shoe. I found she had to suffer before the handsome prince came to her rescue, and then they would live happily ever after.I asked my mother why she never let me know about fairy tales. Looking straight in my eyes, she told me that life is not like a fairy tale. There are good and bad things that will happen through life. At the end though, there is not a man that will come and “save”us. We do not need saving; we instead want someone in our lives to share those good moments and bad ones; we want someone we can rely on and also they can rely on us. Life is not about “happily ever after”．What then is life about mom? Life is the boy finding he loves every little thing about you, even the annoying things. He holds your hands and says “come with me” and you live, laugh and love together. Butthings are not going to be perfect. You still have to face difficulties together, working hard for your relationship.44．Before the age of eight, the author________．A．received no formal educationB．took no interest in reading booksC．didn't read any books of fairy talesD．was forced to improve her reading skills45．What happened to the author after she attended public school? A．She started to like reading.B．She was crazy about fairy tales.C．Her mother always took her to the library.D．Her mother didn't allow her to read books of fairy tales.46．How does the author's mother like fairy tales?A．A must for her kid.B．Unnecessary for her kid.C．Easy for her kid to understand.D．Helpful in building her kid's character.47．The author's mother intends to explain that__________．A．life is not perfectB．no pains, no gainsC．life is about sharingD．one needs to live on his/her ownDAmerica is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while－then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time．Sometimes，we，as hosts，will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however，express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their dailyroutine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!48．The writer of this passage must be ________．A．a Chinese B．an American C．a professor D．a student 49．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B．Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.C．Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy. D．Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives. 50．The underlined words “generous with our time”in paragraph 3 probably mean ________．A．strict with time B．serious with timeC．willing to spend time D．careful with time51．A suitable title for this passage would probably be“________”．A．Friendships between ChineseB．Friendships between AmericansC．Americans' and Chinese people's views of friendships D．Americans' hospitalityEIs early childhood education really necessary? Early childhood education primarily focuses on learning through playing to develop the child's physical, sensory, communicational and social development. Early childhood education has become a concern of the government, who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for kindergarten.There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education. Studies have shown that orphaned children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed causing failure in school, and even in life. Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more prepared for school, less likely to end up in Special Education classes, and are less likely to receive public help or go to jail.There are also negative parts to putting a child in formal education programs too early. Time Magazine Online explains that “the younger the child is, the less his chances of catching up with first－grade work.”I have personally witnessed many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and bored with schoolbefore they finished high school. Yet parents have been sure that the earlier the child starts school, the better off he or she is, so they push to start children earlier.Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early elementary years, studies also show that this head start is really a “false start”，as the gains are lost in middle and high school years. It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life's success than early education. Head Start programs have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap in poor and middle school children. Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap. 52．The government values the early childhood education in order to________．A．develop the children's communicationB．help the children to learn by playingC．get the children prepared for the kindergartenD．train the children formally and regularly53．According to the studies，________．A．children with good early education may have a rich lifeB．the orphaned children are usually unhappy in their life C．children without early education can do well at schoolD. Head Start programs are helpful to the poor children54．The underlined word “frustrated” in Paragraph 3 means________．A．dissatisfied B．unsuccessfulC．disappointed D．dishonest55．The main idea of the last passage is that________．A．the early childhood education is very necessaryB．Head Start programs have helped the children a lot C．environment is the most important to life's successD．better ways should be found to help the poor childrenⅣ.书面表达(满分25分)众所周知，体育运动在人们生活中的作用越来越重要了。
人教版(2019)高中英语必修第二册Unit 2 单元测试(2)
人教版（2019）高中英语必修第二册Unit2单元测试（2）一、阅读理解(共3题；共20分)1．（6分）阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
More than two thirds of the world's polar bears will be wiped out by2050,according to a shocking new study.By then,scientists say,global warming will have melted42percent of the Arctic sea ice.By2100, only a very few of these important creatures will be left.The report has been produced by the US Geological Survey.The scientists have publicized their findings in the hope of influencing US Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne,who has been asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.Polar bears depend on floating sea ice as a platform for hunting seals,which are their main food. Without enough ice,polar bears would be forced to go onto the land,where they are killed by hunters,and would be unlikely to adapt to the life on the land in time.Experts say few little bears would survive and the stress could make many females unable to get pregnant.The team of American and Canadian scientists spent six months studying bears:on the ground,from spotter planes and in the lab,using computer models.Some team members fear the result is even worse for the bears than what their report says.They say the Arctic is warming faster than anywhere in the world and much faster than their computer had been forecasting,Satellite observations have showed that the ice has decreased to an all-time low.However,not everyone in the scientific community believes that global warming is happening on such an alarming scale.Another investigation has found that polar bears are still being hunted by wealthy "sportsmen"who want their skins and heads.At least ten international companies offer bear-hunting trips.（1）（2分）What do we know about Dirk Kempthorne according to the passage?A．He is an animal scientist.B．He is a protector of animals working for the US government.C．He was asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.D．He offered to put polar bears on the endangered species list.（2）（2分）Why will polar bears die out if there is not enough sea ice?A．Because polar bears can't catch enough food without sea ice.B．Because polar bears eat ice when they feel thirsty.C．Because polar bears will be easily found by hunters without ice.D．Because most female bears are used to giving birth under ice.（3）（2分）After a six-month study,some scientists fear that.A．there is something wrong with their computersB．polar bears will disappear even faster than they ever expectedC．their computer models are not as accurate as they expectedD．global warming will destroy everything in the Arctic2．（6分）阅读理解The British are known for their sense of humor.However,it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes.The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.Understatement means saying less than you think or feel.For example,if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain,he might say,"It's a little damp(潮湿的)outside."Or,if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person,someone else might say,"She isn't exactly friendly."Understatement is often used in an unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly.Understatement plays an important part in British humor.Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street.They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society.They like to make jokes about their accents,the way they dress and the way they behave.What's more,the British love to watch comedies(喜剧)about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr.Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.Mr.Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in1990.Mr.Bean doesn't talk often,and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh.Perhaps what makes Mr.Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do.Mr.Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this,many people have become familiar with the British sense of humor.（1）（2分）Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?A．The British often enlarge the fact.B．British jokes are connected with many different cultures.C．British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.D．The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.（2）（2分）The author explains understatement by.A．describing a process B．making comparisonsC．following time order D．using examples（3）（2分）What can be the best title for the text?A．British Humor in Comedy B．Humor in Different Cultures C．Understanding British Humor D．Developing Your Sense of Humor3．（8分）阅读理解Where do the turtles go?Every summer,thousands of endangered green sea turtles climb onto beaches around the world. Each mother sea turtle produces100or more eggs in a hole,and covers the hole with sand before she swims away.Two months later,the eggs hatch,and the baby turtles climb out of the sand and swim into the ocean. They don't reappear until they have grown as large as dinner plates.Until now,no one knows where the baby turtles go or what they do."If we don't know where these little turtles are,we can't protect them,"says Kim Reich,who helps solve part of the mystery.Her teacher,Karen Bjorndal,has studied green sea turtles for more than30years.Every year, Bjorndal goes to the Bahamas Islands.Many young sea turtles come here to live and eat at the end of their childhood.These turtles are the only sea turtles that live as plant eaters.In fact,their name may be a result of what they eat.The turtles don't look green but they do have green fat.Scientists learned that the turtles eatgreen sea plants,which may turn their fat green.Between2002and2004,Bjorndal caught44green sea turtles in the Bahamas.After testing them, she found something to support the20-year-old idea:baby green sea turtles eat meat before they turn to a diet of plants.In fact,they eat animals that live in the open ocean.Scientists still need to find where exactly green sea turtles grow.We now know that baby green sea turtles are out in the open ocean,but the open ocean is a big place."It is really a problem,"says Bjorndal.The discovery may help us do a better job of protecting this sea animal.（1）（2分）What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A．Baby turtles go to the ocean when they are three months old.B．Mother turtles leave the eggs alone after they produce them.C．No one knows when turtles appear on the beach.D．Mother turtles are as large as dinner plates.（2）（2分）Kim Reich does research on where baby turtles go because she wants to. A．help her teacher B．prove an ideaC．protect turtles D．become a scientist（3）（2分）What does Karen Bjorndal's research prove about green sea turtles?A．The young live in the Bahamas Islands.B．The young eat meat before turning to a diet of plants.C．They live in the open ocean for a lifelong time.D．They are the only sea turtles that live as plant eaters.（4）（2分）What does the underlined word"It"in the last paragraph refer to?A．Finding out where young turtles grow.B．Protecting this endangered sea animal.C．Changing young turtles'eating habits.D．Living in the open ocean.二、任务型阅读(共1题；共5分)4．（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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

He still can't recall several weeks of his life after the accident.What he does remember is watching the Olympics on TV and seeing Shaun White w in the gold medal.“It was hard lying there in the shape I was in, watching those guys do amazing tricks，” admits Pearce, looking through thick glasses.They keep him from seeing double.Today, Pearce's focus is getting his health back to 100%.So far, he's made rapid progress in his physical therapy(治疗)．A year ago, he couldn't walk straight.Now, not only can he walk, but he can drive again.Pearce says his speedy recovery is the result of his fans, his friends and mostly, his family. His mother, Pia, says he r youngest son's positive attitude helped too.“I knew Kevin was going to find a way to be okay.”These days, Pearce is back on the snowboarding circuit(巡回赛)．Instead of performing tricks, though, he's commenting on them from the broadcasting room.He still longs for competition.But heunderstands the danger of another fall.1．Kevin Pearce can say nothing about the accident because he ________．A．has no memory of the accidentB．isn't allowed to say anything about itC．lost the power of speech in the accidentD．doesn't want to recall the terrible experience2．The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to “________”．A．other playersB．Pearce's friendsC．other players' tricksD．Pearce's thick glasses3．What can be inferred from Pearce's mother's words?A．She is very worried about her son's health.B．She has confidence in her son's recovery.C．She is thankful to her friends and relatives.D．She regrets she can't help her son recover.4．We can learn from the passage that now Pearce ________．A．teaches others to snowboardB．is still involved in snowboardingC．is still lying in bed and watching TVD．is learning new skills from other playersBIn the competition of Olympic weightlifting, the athletes try to lift the maximum weight they can.There are special conditions they have to meet in order to compete: body weight, height and strength.The Olympic weightlifting mainly tests the limit of explosive strength(爆发力)．There are not many lifters who really like Olympic weightlifting and the explanation is very simple: they are short of explosive strength.The weights used for Olympic weightlifting are added in kilogrammes.The order by which the athletes enter the competition is not general, but it is set depending on the ually the athletewith the lowest weight begins.If he/she is not successful, he/she can try later.There is a maximum of three lifts allowed for every competition.For many years Olympic weightlifting was only for men.However, now women also take part in Olympic weightlifting.It was at the beginning of the 21st century that women's competitions entered an organized professional environment.For women, Olympic weightlifting is more difficult because of their different body structure.However, strength training techniques(技术) are widely and successfully used by women, too.Lots of the athletes who've ended up in Olympic weightlifting competitions have started with strength training only to improve their muscle condition and their body power.However, the demarcation line(分界线) is not still very clear between power training and Olympic weightlifting.This is how so many lifters have got into Olympic weightlifting competition, even if their purpose was different at the beginning.5．Few lifters can take part in Olympic weightlifting mainly because ________．A．they are tired of the trainingB．they haven't been trained correctlyC．they can't learn the lifting techniquesD．they don't have enough explosive strength6．How many more times can a lifter try if he/she fails for the first time?A．Two. B．One. C．Three. D．Four.7．According to the fourth paragraph, ________．A．men often do better than women in weight-liftingB．women used not to be allowed to compete in Olympic weightliftingC．men can learn the training techniques better than womenD．women need to use different training techniques from men8．According to the passage, many athletes began to practise weightlifting because they wanted to ______．A．take part in the OlympicsB．get a reward in the competitionC．test the limit of explosive strengthD．strengthen their body powerCI have often been considered strange when I tell people that I want to be a writer, because for most people, or at least teens in my geographic location, see writing as a difficulty.They see it as some nuisance they have to do in English class.The reason why I am a writer is that writing gives me the power to create worlds and people out of nothing.We can create an image in a few minutes with our minds.We have the power to influence others, even people we've never met!I have always wondered if it is the same thing that drives me, as a writer, as what drives video game creators or directors.We are all creating something out of nothing.The thing that is so amazing about writers though is that we create something out of tools that don't cost more than a dollar (a piece of paper and a pencil)．For writers it is all in our head.Our wonderful brain is our tool.Some people have this elegant way of writing that can sweep us off our feet.Those who have this gift often do not see the beauty in it.It is sad really.Writing is such a basic element in our society that many take advantage of it but don't realize its greatness.It takes someone from the inside to understand and admire the art of putting words together to form a sentence; sounds so simple and yet there is so much more to it than meets the eye.Being a writer is a wonderful thing—something that is gifted to all of us who have the ability to form sentences on paper.Being a good writer or even great writer is the hard part.Oh! And don't even get me started on being a published writer.9．Why do most people think “I” to be strange when hearing “I” want to be a writer?A．Because they consider writing difficult.B．Because writing isn't popular with the local.C．Because writers are very crazy and strange.D．Because people can't make money by writing.10．According to the passage, what drives “I” to be a writer?A．Influencing other people by writing.B．Becoming famous by working at writing.C．Improving the power of my brain by writing.D．Creating something out of nothing by writing.11．In which part of a website may the passage appear?A．Entertainment. B．Hobby.C．Life. D．Education.Ⅳ概要写作阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
