1、 单元测评(一) Unit 1 Women of achievement (时间:90分钟 满分:110分) 第一部分 阅读理解(共两节;满分30分) 第一节 (共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。 A In just eight months, my dog Toby had grown too big for our small apartment, so Mom sent him to GrandmA s farm. To comfort me, Mom got me a
2、cat and I decided to train this cat. First, I named him Wilbur. Next, I decided to train him not to make our apartment dirty. In order to train him to use the litter box my mother bought as his toilet, I followed him everywhere, watching for some sign that he wanted to go outside, just like I'd don
3、e with Toby. I waited and watched. But all that cat did was sleep. Pretty soon I fell asleep, too. When I woke up, I heard some noise from the box. I looked inside and found Wilbur in it on his own. If a cat could do that by himself easily, I figured that teaching him a few tricks would be a cinch.
4、 I set Wilbur down in front of me and said, “Sit”, pushing his back down gently, just like I'd done with Toby. However, he jumped away. This cat didn't know anything about taking orders. Then I decided to give him a bath. I'd washed Toby every Saturday. Strangely, at the sound of the running water,
5、 Wilbur began to lick (舔) himself. Mom saw what I was doing. “Oh, honey, cats don't need baths.” She looked at Wilbur. “See?” she said. “They clean themselves.” When Wilbur finished bathing, he made a strange noise, like a motor running, so I sat down to get a better listen. To my surprise, Wilbur
6、moved to me, and jumped onto my legs. Toby never did that! Seeing that, Mom said, “You know, cats only do that when they really like you.” I looked up at her, then down at the cat and said, “Let me introduce Wilbur, Mom. He is my friend now.” 语篇解读 本文是记叙文。作者新养了一只猫并开头训练它,最终作者和猫成为了好伴侣。 1.What did th
7、e author do for the cat? A. He gave the cat a name. B. He bought the cat a box. C. He freed the cat from the toilet. D. He helped the cat clean himself. 答案与解析 A 细节理解题。依据其次段中的“First, I named him Wilbur”可知答案。 2.The underlined word “cinch” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”. A. boring t
8、hing B. simple thing C. funny thing D. terrible thing 答案与解析 B 词义猜想题。依据本句中的easily可推想,作者认为假如一只猫可以自己学会用专用的盒子上厕所的话,那么教他一些把戏也会是件“简洁的事情”。 3.What did the author feel about Wilbur before he jumped onto his legs? A. He didn't think Wilbur could be friends with Toby. B. He didn't think Wilbur
9、would make a good pet. C. He thought Wilbur was dirty. D. He thought Wilbur was lazy. 答案与解析 B 推理推断题。依据其次、三、四段内容,尤其是其次段中的“But all that cat did was sleep”和第三段中的“This cat didn't know anything about taking orders”可知, Wilbur并不协作作者的训练,因此作者一开头并不认为Wilbur会是一个好宠物。 4.From the text we know that Toby did all
10、 the following things EXCEPT ________. A. doing some tricks B. taking baths every Saturday C. jumping onto the author's legs D. giving signs when he wanted to go outside 答案与解析 C 细节理解题。依据倒数其次段中的“To my surprise, Wilbur moved to me, and jumped onto my legs. Toby never did that”可知, Toby从来不会跳到作者腿上。
11、 B Annie Wauneka smiled as she touched the medal. It was the presidential Medal of Freedom (总统自由勋章)! She was very proud to be the first Native American to get this award. It was given to her because of the Navajo people. A lot had changed because of her. Annie was born in 1910 in Arizona. When An
12、nie was 8 years old, her father sent her away to receive a good education — homes of Navajos were too spread to build schools near where people lived. That year, a terrible flu swept through her school. Some of the students died. Annie wasn't seriously affected, so she helped care for those who were
13、 sick. She said her interest in health work began to grow because of this early event in her life. When she grew up, Wauneka saw the poor health of many Navajo people. This troubled her, and she wanted to do something about it. In 1951, she ran for a seat on the tribal council (部落委员会). She won, and
14、 in fact, she served for 27 years. From the start, she pushed for better living conditions. Every year, many Navajos and others died from tuberculosis (肺结核), or TB.

15、n 1963. Wauneka wanted her people to take good care of their own health. She talked to them about health each week on the radio. And she wrote a dictionary of medical terms to help them talk to doctors and nurses that weren't Navajos. Wauneka knew that education was the key to a good future. First
16、 of all, she wanted Navajo children to have schools closer to where they lived. She knew from her own childhood experiences how hard it was to leave home at a young age. Wauneka received the name “Legendary (传奇的) Mother of the Navajo Nation” from the tribal council in 1984. She could have stopped t
17、hen, but of course she didn't. At the time of her death in 1997, her grandson said, “She made us proud to be Navajo.” Annie Wauneka would have smiled to hear him say that. 语篇解读 本文是记叙文。文章叙述了Annie Wauneka为纳瓦霍族人所做的贡献。 5.Annie Wauneka was sent away to study because ________. A. her father wanted her

46、nded 33.A. left B. boarded C. jumped D. reached 34.A. upset B. happy C. crazy D. surprised 35.A. taking B. seizing C. reflecting D. bringing 答案与解析 语篇解读 这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章,作者在一次等飞机时领悟到经常停留一下,回顾生活中奇特事情的重要性。这对现代社会中忙劳碌碌的人们有特殊的意义。 16.B 由“wit
47、h lots of meetings”可知应是很繁忙的三天。 17.D 在办理登机手续前30分钟到了机场,所以就有额外的时间来方案接下来需要做的事情。pleasant“令人开心的;吸引人的”; satisfying“令人满足的”; valuable“很值钱的”; extra“额外的”。明显extra切合文意,能较好地把句子补充完整。 18.C 结合上下文,那三天由于始终忙于开会,“我”很乐于有时间方案接下来“需要”做的事情,need“需要”。 19.A 分析句意可知,这时机场发布了一项通知。announcement“通知;宣告”。declaration“声明;宣言”; speech“演说
48、 opening“开放;开头”。 20.D 文中提到飞机出了问题,带来的应是航班“延误”或者“取消”,但从下文可知,航班并没有被取消,所以B项cancelled(取消)错误。 21.A 飞机没有来。“我”坐在那里应当是等待“航班”。flight“飞行;航班”。turn“转动;(依次轮到的)机会”; name“名字”; order“命令;次序”。 22.B 下文中消灭了lunch,照应上文。理解全句,应为“那不是一个商务会议,而是与一个长达12年没见面的业务上的老伴侣的开心的午餐。” 23.C 分析句意,作者要表述的是在午饭时做了什么,filling和recalling引导的短语是并
49、列关系,需用as well as连接。as well“也;又”,多用于句末; except for“除……以外”; in addition“另外”。 24.D 句意:想到以前我们一起度过的欢快时间和奇特的经受,我们都很快活。share“共享;共有”,可以构成完整的句意。 25.B 由“we must do it again”可知,我们当然很满足那天的聚会。分析四个选项的意思,只有enjoy“宠爱;满足”合适。pay“付费”; get“理解;明白”; make“获得成功”,均与句意不符。 26.D 句意:有这样一个额外的时间来回想我们的对话实在是太好了。回想当然应是在大脑中,所以mind“
50、头脑;心思”符合文意。 27.C 此处说的是作者的感受,强调这次谈话对作者的影响。reminder“提示人的事物;引起回忆的事物”,符合语境。time“时间”; plan“方案”; remains“残余物;遗迹”。 28.D 从上下文可知,明显作者认为自己很幸运,有这样一个机会来放松并回忆过去12年的欢快时间。break恰好能与take搭配,take a break“放松;休息”。 29.A 句意:这就有点像是在看保存在你家橱柜里的老相册一样。因此store away符合句意。store away“收存;保存”; put on“穿上”; set aside“留出;暂不考虑”; give
