單元綜合檢測(時(shí)間：100分鐘；滿分：120分).閱讀理解(共15小題；每小題2分；滿分30分)AI was recently asked what inspires me most.That was easy to answer：I live and breathe track and field.It is the only sport that has allowed me to spread my wings and truly fly.I have struggled a lot in my life after being diagnosed with a learning disability at the age of three.I was also born four months too early，weighing less than four pounds.Even at 17，Im still working to catch up.Mentally Im on the level of a 12yearold.I had to repeat the third and fifth grade，which caused me a lot of stress and embarrassment.I was joked so much that I would often hide in the bathroom instead of going to class.My parents always gave me lots of love and support，but I still felt worthless most of the time.Im also quite shy，so making and keeping friends has always been a challenge.Then one day when I was 12，my life changed forever.My parents decided that my younger brother and I should try track.From that moment on my life was different.I was a natural middistance runner.When I was on the track，the other kids just saw me and my speed.No one saw my learning disability.For the first time in my life I felt normal.When I entered high school，I joined the track team and the coach quickly saw my talent.I was selected to run on the A team for crosscounty and the A team for indoor and outdoor track.Im on the school team for the 4400meter and 4800meter relays，and colleges are even interested in me!My crosscounty team won the 2011 County and Regional Championship.When I accepted my award，my mom cried because she was so proud of me，and for once，I was proud of myself.Even though Im a specialeducation student，I now know that my learning disability does not define me.I can hold my head up high because track has allowed me to spread my wings and truly fly!【語篇解讀】作者是一個(gè)在學(xué)習(xí)上有障礙的學(xué)生，但卻在田徑運(yùn)動(dòng)中找到了自己的價(jià)值。1The underlined sentence in Para.1 may mean“ ”AI can easily breathe on the trackBtrack and field is where I liveCtrack and field is my lifeDI take track and field as a sport【解析】句意理解題。根據(jù)第一段畫線句子后面的“It is the only sport that has allowed me to spread my wings and truly fly.”可知，作者認(rèn)為田徑運(yùn)動(dòng)讓他展翅翱翔，所以他視田徑為生命，因此選C。【答案】C2What is the problem with the writer?AHe didnt want to make friends.BHe didnt get much love from his parents.CHe weighed a little less than others.DHe had a poor learning ability.【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的“diagnosed with a learning disability at the age of three”可知，作者學(xué)習(xí)能力有問題，因此選D?！敬鸢浮緿3The first time the writer was on the track，he Afelt as normal as othersBwas proud of himselfCwas still a little shyDtreated himself as a hero【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的最后一句“For the first time in my life I felt normal.”可知選A?！敬鸢浮緼4The best title for the passage may be “ ”AFly in the SkyBSpread My WingsCTry Track BravelyDBe an Honorable Student【解析】標(biāo)題歸納題。作者在學(xué)習(xí)上有障礙，但是從事田徑運(yùn)動(dòng)卻如魚得水，是一名天生的田徑運(yùn)動(dòng)員，田徑運(yùn)動(dòng)讓作者找到了自己的價(jià)值，有了展翅飛翔的機(jī)會(huì)。故B項(xiàng)符合文章主題?！敬鸢浮緽BBack when our children were small，who could have imagined what life would hold for them：pressures surrounding alcohol，drugs，and consequences.We recognize that our childrens need for independence grows as they do.And talking about touchy(棘手的)subjects can be especially difficult when teens to tune us outDriving a teen to meet his/her friends may seem like an unpleasant thing，unless you recognize it as an opportunity to talk.Of course，you may have to get the conversation going.If you worry about losing control of the conversation，try to do something you both enjoy together，like cooking，hiking，or going to a concert or museum.“Before I discuss topics like alcohol or drugs with my son，”one father says，“I do a little homework.Often its as simple as checking the phone book for hotlines or asking my doctor to recommend some pamphlets.If my son is not willing to discuss a touchy subject，I can still give him a number to call or an article to read.And，of course，I tell him Im always available if he needs my help.”Dont start a personal attack or hold a family conference to open a dialogue on a tough subject.No matter how serious the subject is，its important not to be heavyhanded or much focus on your child.Say youve read an article or heard about a troubling situation from a colleague or a friend.Share this information with your teenager; then ask his/her opinion rather than offering yours.Suppose youre discussing AIDS，and you can arouse your childrens interest by asking：Do you believe it cant happen to you？Do your friends discuss AIDS among themselves？What are some strategies to stay safe？When a teen feels that the two of you are exploring a subject together，he/she is likely to share his/her own thoughts.【語篇解讀】本文探討了父母就棘手的話題如何和孩子進(jìn)行有效的溝通。5Whats the purpose of the passage?ATo explain what tough subjects involve in children.BTo offer tips on how to talk about tough subjects with children.CTo show the importance of childrens tough subjects.DTo give some examples on childrens tough subjects.【解析】寫作意圖題。從文章第二至第五四個(gè)段落的具體內(nèi)容可知，本文意在就如何和孩子談?wù)摷衷掝}給父母們提出有效方法，因此B項(xiàng)正確。【答案】B6In the first paragraph，the underlined part “tune us out” can be explained as “ ”Ago along well with usBrely much on usCunderstand what we saidDpay no attention to what we said【解析】詞義猜測題。結(jié)合畫線短語前的“.our childrens need for independence grows as they do.”可知，隨著孩子的成長，他們的獨(dú)立性也在增長，所以可推測此短語應(yīng)與D項(xiàng)“對(duì)我們的話置之不理”意思相近。【答案】D7According to the passage，the father mentioned in the third paragraph may agree that Aparents should do certain research before talking about a serious subject with their childrenBparents should avoid talking about such topics as alcohol and drugs with their childrenCchildren should turn to their parents first if they need any helpDchildren should see a doctor or read a book if they meet with big health problems【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容，尤其是“Before I discuss topics like alcohol or drugs with my son，”one father says，“I do a little homework.Often its as simple as checking the phone book.”可知，這位父親贊同在與孩子討論嚴(yán)肅的話題前應(yīng)先做些準(zhǔn)備工作，故A項(xiàng)符合題意?！敬鸢浮緼8In the case of discussing AIDS，what parents can do is to Ashare opinions with their colleagues or friendsBinspire their children to express their ideasCremind their children of the danger of itDgive their children as much advice as possible【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容，尤其是最后一句“When a teen feels that the two of you are exploring a subject together，he/she is likely to share his/her own thoughts.”可知B項(xiàng)正確。【答案】BCLast night I had a long talk with my roommate.It was late at night and everywhere seemed so quiet.We wanted to share our feelings in that kind of atmosphere.We talked about our childhood，our present and future lives.I was so surprised when hearing my roommate Jennys point of view.She thought that someone could also lead a happy life even if he or she just received high school education，because he or she could learn more useful things in society，compared to the university students.That shocked me very much.I was asked to study harder and harder，which is an undoubted fact.Life is too short while 16 years is too long.Lots of students lives include hard work，lack of sleep and stress.And now，Im admiring her opinion.In the future，we should first choose an easy life.We do not have to buy anything expensive; we just need warm families and healthy bodies.Forget all those terrible things.Why not spend time with our loved ones？Why would we waste our dear time in fighting for a hundred million dollars？We can never spend it all，can we?【語篇解讀】怎樣才能過上幸福的生活，不同的人有不同的觀點(diǎn)。9The people in this passage are most probably Aprimary school studentsBjunior middle school studentsCworkers in a factoryDuniversity students【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文中詹妮的觀點(diǎn)和“while 16 years is too long”可知作者是一名大學(xué)生。【答案】D10The author was shocked by Jennys words because AJenny didnt want to go to collegeBJennys point of view was all new to the authorCJennys idea was the same as the authorsDJenny knew what kind of future she wanted【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由“That shocked me very much.”可知作者的想法與詹妮的想法大相徑庭，所以感到震驚?！敬鸢浮緽11What is an easy life according to the passage?AExpensive things and travels.BA good future and suitable environment.CWarm families and good health.DMore money and knowledge.【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“.we should first choose an easy life.We do not have to buy anything expensive；we just need warm families and healthy bodies.”可知答案為C項(xiàng)?！敬鸢浮緾12What did the author think of her past life as a student?AShe thought it was boring and full of pains because no one understood her.BShe thought she couldnt have finished it without others help.CShe thought she did nothing wrong through it and felt relaxed.DShe thought she was forced to study and took great pains to get through it.【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文中“I was asked to study harder and harder，.Lots of students lives include hard work，lack of sleep and stress.”可知答案為D項(xiàng)。【答案】DDAcross Europe，young people are doing the same calculations (計(jì)算)：pay their way through three or four years of higher education for uncertain returns，or take their chances without a degree.Giulia is 20 years old.She is in her second year at Sapienza University in Rome，studying communication science，but has decided to drop out.Is this because she chose the wrong subject？Nolike many other students in Italy，she simply no longer believes that her degree will help her to find a job.Not only has the financial crisis left many facing an uncertain future，but the education system itself is believed to be useless.According to the latest report from the national committee for university grading，less than 60% of pupils with highschool diplomas enrolled (入學(xué)) at an Italian university，the lowest percentage for 30 years.Entrylevel salaries for graduates are shrinking，and yet a degree is still a big advantage in the fight against unemployment.Among 25 to 29yearold graduates in the European Union，unemployment rose from 7% to 9.2% between 2008 and 2011，while among people with only basic education it went from 16.1% to 24.3%.However，in countries such as Italy，a university degree may be a risky investment (投資)：Italys universities are ranked among the lowest in Europe，as only 76.6% of graduates find work，compared with an EU average of 82.3%.Many students will be well into their studies before they realize that they have little competitive advantage to show for their efforts.In France，the BA (文學(xué)學(xué)士學(xué)位) from public universities is now considered so inferior that it is almost required by rule to continue on to a masters.So a university education is worth it？Students in Britain appear to be yes.Despite the rising of many tuition fees this autumn，university application numbers have not fallen that much.The UK universities remain popular with candidates from the rest of the world.【語篇解讀】是投入大量的資金和時(shí)間上大學(xué)取得學(xué)位還是尋找合適的工作？這是目前擺在許多歐洲國家年輕人面臨的選擇。13Which of the following is the best title for the passage?AIs a university education still worth the time and money?BAre the Europeans tired of university education?CAre the job prospects in Eursope bright?DIs no way found to afford the high tuition fees?【解析】主旨大意題。這篇文章講述了目前在歐洲很多國家，人們對(duì)投入大量的資金和時(shí)間去上大學(xué)取得學(xué)位的做法感到懷疑，很多年輕人不上大學(xué)而直接去工作，因此選項(xiàng)A正確?！敬鸢浮緼14The author takes Giulia as an example in order to Ashow girls dislike staying in college for longBprove innocence is the virtue for womenCexpress the present situation in EuropeDcriticize the Roman government【解析】推理判斷題。在文章第一段作者便引出文章的主題：是投入大量的資金和時(shí)間上大學(xué)取得學(xué)位還是尋找合適的工作？作者借用Giulia的例子是想說明目前歐洲國家越來越多的年輕人選擇了去工作，故選項(xiàng)C正確?！敬鸢浮緾15The author intends to tell us that Acollege education wastes too much moneyBgoing to university indeed has advantagesCmany positions dont need higher educationDBritain is richer than any other country【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段中的“and yet a degree is still a big advantage in the fight against unemployment”及下文的數(shù)據(jù)分析可知，在2008年到2011年期間，歐盟25歲到29歲的畢業(yè)生失業(yè)率從7%上升到9.2%，而只有基礎(chǔ)教育的人群失業(yè)率從16.1%上升到24.3%；再根據(jù)文章最后在英國申請(qǐng)上大學(xué)的人數(shù)在增長可推斷作者還是支持上大學(xué)的?！敬鸢浮緽.閱讀填句(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)How do you enter a room full of strangers？Do you walk right in full of confidence？Or do you try to slip in without being noticed？ 16 In life，we admire those who do their tasks confidently.We prefer people who appear to know what they are doing.But where does that confidence begin?Developing selfconfidence starts very early.Its parents role to get kids on the right track toward becoming confident people. 17 That can be done by focusing on the childs strengths.Parents should encourage their children to try new things and take risks.When children make mistakes，their parents should still let them know that they are loved.Children whose parents do these things will likely develop into confident adults. 18 So whats the solution?With most things in life，practice makes perfect，and that is true of confidence skills. 19 Always hold your head high and look people in the eye.Answer questions clearly and confidently.Focus on the things that you do well，and look for opportunities to use those abilities.Prepare thoroughly for every project.Youll approach the task more confidently knowing that you are ready. 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.AKeep in mind an item that reminds you of a recent success.BThe more you practice them，the easier they will become.CThe way you go into new situations shows your level of selfconfidence.DOur goal is to prepare students to go into the world with confidence.ETo help that process，parents should always offer more praise than criticism.FLearning from mistakes helps you face the same situation later without fear.GBut selfconfidence still doesnt come easily.【答案】1620CEGBA.完形填空(共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分)Perhaps forty years ago Sadie left her drunk and violent husband.Needing
