单元综合测评(二)

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

　　　　　　　          　A  【导学号：10642042】

Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind.How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.

By putting thoughts into words，you are telling yourself the logic behind what you think，feel，or only partly understand.Often，explaining a thought is the process of understanding.In other words，you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power.”

Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember.Many，if not most，highly productive people are always taking notes.You can try keeping it all in your head，but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you're working on a big project，you'll probably have more success.

Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it.That's an extreme example，but if you are learning something new，write a letter to a friend about it，and you will understand it better.

Want to invent something？Write an explanation of the problem—why you want to solve it，and why it is worth solving，and writers don't always write because they clearly understand something beforehand.Often，they write about something because they want to understand it.You can do the same.Writing will help bring you to an understanding.Give it a try.

In China，many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities，because the countryside is much poorer than the city，and often there isn't much work there.Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside.They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.

But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris，people are moving out of the city.These rich families want to live a quieter life.They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city，and they are tired of the crowded streets，crowded trains and buses.They don't want to live in the cities any more.They want a house with a garden in the countryside，and breathe the fresh air there.

So they move out of the cities.Some don't go very far，just to the towns near the cities.Other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields.There，they start new lives and try to make new friends.

Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy.After two or three years，many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake.They don't make so much money and there isn't much work to do.People in the countryside are very different and aren't always very friendly.

As a result，quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city.“It's_wonderful_to_see_crowds_in_the_streets_and_cinema_lights，” they say.

【语篇解读】　久居农村，城市是一道风景；久居城市，农村又是另一道风景。本文重点介绍了农村和城市的优缺点。

Vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants into a worthwhile activity.

Vegetable gardeners agree that many home­grown vegetables picked at their best are better than those bought from markets.From spring through late fall，a well­planned and well­kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables，thus increasing the nutrition(营养) of the family diet.Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date.Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.

Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening attractive for many people.Besides，vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for families.

Although the money spent on a garden may be little，one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time.Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times，most of which are inconvenient.Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative(消极的)feeling towards gardening.

One should not manage a garden that is too large for him to care for.A small，well­kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable (有益的) than a large one.Vegetables grow well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day.Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables.If possible，the garden should be near the house so the gardener can work it at irregular moments.

Usually the home owner has little choice in the soil type.Fortunately，many vegetables can be grown in poor soils if they are properly prepared.

【语篇解读】　本文介绍了在园子里种植蔬菜的好处和要求。

8．Home­grown vegetables________.

A．can remain standing for a long time and need not be picked immediately

B．have to be eaten as soon as they are picked

C．sell well in the market because of their good quality

D．picked at the right moment are more nutritious than those bought from the market

【解析】　细节理解题。从文章第二段中“Vegetable gardeners agree that many home­grown vegetables picked at their best are better than those bought from markets.”可以得出正确答案。

【答案】　D

9．A well­planned and well­kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables________.

A．all year round

B．whenever you need nutritious food

C．for a greater part of the year

D．throughout spring

【解析】　细节理解题。由第二段中的“From spring through late fall，a well­planned and  well­kept garden  can provide a supply of fresh vegetables，thus increasing the nutrition(营养) of the family diet.”这一信息可知，C项正确。

【答案】　C

10．Vegetable gardening is attractive for many people because________.

A．it requires little money

B．it is enjoyable and profitable

C．they can work in the vegetable garden at irregular moments

D．it provides vegetables for the family all year round

【解析】　细节理解题。由第五段中“A small，well­kept  garden  is  more enjoyable and profitable(有益的)than a large one.”及上下文可知B项正确。

【答案】　B

11．From the passage we can conclude that ________.

A．vegetables need little care while growing

B．vegetables can be grown in almost any kind of soil

C．vegetable gardening is a necessary part of life for people

D．vegetable gardening is a good pastime for old people

【答案】　B

If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around.It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month.The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.

Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste，a wide variety of apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.Although it doesn't taste of anything special，it's still worth a try，as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.

There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it's a_pipe_dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.

At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple­themed fun and games.

Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园)．If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale，near Faversham in Kent.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。全文介绍了在苹果节上的各种各样的苹果。虽说是Apple Day，其实该节日持续接近一个月的时间。在这段时间里，我们可以品尝到很多稀有品种的苹果。如果想尝试各种各样的苹果，就来参加Apple Day吧。

12．What can people do at the apple events?

A．Attend experts' lectures.

B．Visit fruit­loving families.

C．Plant fruit trees in an orchard.

D．Taste many kinds of apples.

【解析】　细节理解题。根据第二段中的Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see，and often taste，a wide variety of apples.可知，参加苹果节可以看到并经常尝到各种各样的苹果。

【答案】　D

13．What can we learn about Decio?

A．It is a new variety.

B．It has a strange look.

C．It is rarely seen now.

D．It has a special taste.

【解析】　推理判断题。根据第二段中的．..it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence，such as Decio...is more of a curiosity than anything else.可知，见到它很开阔眼界并且可以与稀奇的Cat's Head这一品种类比，由此判断Decio非常稀少。

【答案】　C

14．What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．A practical idea.

B．A vain hope.

C．A brilliant plan.

D．A selfish desire.

【解析】　词义理解题。根据本段中的One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette，but you'll need a warm，sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it...可知，尽管Orleans Reinette是很好的品种，但是对各项条件的要求很高，因此大多数喜欢它的人种植它的希望会落空。

【答案】　B

15．What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

A．To show how to grow apples.

B．To introduce an apple festival.

C．To help people select apples.

D．To promote apple research.

【解析】　作者意图题。根据文章第一段中的If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around.和第二段中的Visiting an apple event...以及后文介绍节日上的各类苹果可知，作者在介绍苹果节。

【答案】　B

__20__ It could be a good test score or a prize from a contest.Remind yourself that one success often leads to the next.

However，all humans fail at times，and you will too.Even with efforts to try all the above，you will never be perfect.But you can learn to love and accept yourself and live your life with confidence.

A．Keep in mind an item that reminds you of a recent success.

B．The more you practice them，the easier they will become.

C．The way you go into new situations shows your level of self­confidence.

D．Our goal is to prepare students to go into the world with confidence.
