單元測(cè)評(píng)(三)Unit 3Inventors and Inventions(時(shí)間：90分鐘滿分：110分) 第一部分閱讀理解(共兩節(jié)；滿分30分)第一節(jié)(共10小題；每小題2分，滿分20分)閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。AJust after World War the IOC decided that the Olympic Games would bring nations together again. As London had been selected to host the cancelled 1944 Games, the IOC decided to offer the 1948 Games to London. London accepted the offer and set about preparing the venues (場(chǎng)地) and all the other things that hosting the Olympic Games needed.With less than two years to get the Games ready, it was a great achievement in itself that the Games were ready on time. The budget that was assigned to host the Games was 600 000, quite a small sum in comparison to the Games of today that cost billions of pounds.In 1948, large parts of London lay in ruins. Food and building materials were in short supply. It was decided that the Games would be held with no new venues or athlete villages being built.The participating nations united to make the Games a success. Athletes were housed in barracks (兵營(yíng)). School dormitories and even private houses were used to accommodate the athletes from visiting nations.At mealtimes, athletes were given increased rations, the same as those received by British workers in the essential industries, like mineworkers, which meant 5 467 calories a day, instead of the normal 2 600 calories a day.The spectators (觀眾) who came to the Games had to bring their own food, as there were no facilities to provide catering at any of the sites. Even getting to the venues was a problem. The famous London Red Buses were used, and military vehicles, many of which were driven by women volunteers, were also used to transport spectators and athletes to the venues.Despite these problems, the Games opening ceremony was held on 29th July, 1948, at Wembley Stadium. During the opening ceremony a message was shown on the giant scoreboard. It read: “The important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part. The essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.”語(yǔ)篇解讀1948年倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)是二戰(zhàn)后的第一屆奧運(yùn)會(huì)，二戰(zhàn)后的倫敦百?gòu)U待興，在籌辦過(guò)程中遇到了種種困難，但人們最終克服了這些困難，成功舉辦了這次奧運(yùn)會(huì)。1Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.

I was in heaven.What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasnt being “replaced”. Wed been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything so most of the “new” stuff (東西) we got was really just to replace what wed lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasnt my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other giftgiving occasion.

I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet right inside.The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. Theyd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother.And it still fits me.語(yǔ)篇解讀本文為記敘文，題材為人物故事。作者講述了自己13歲的生日禮物，一枚圖章戒指，15年后失而復(fù)得的故事。5The underlined word “in” in the first paragraph probably means “_”A. fashionable B. availableC. practical D. renewable答案與解析A詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)下文“it seemed every girl except me had one”(除了我以外，似乎每個(gè)女孩子都擁有一枚)可推斷出，圖章戒指在當(dāng)時(shí)是非常時(shí)髦的(fashionable)東西。available“可獲得的”； practical“實(shí)用的”； renewable“可更新的”。6When she got the ring back, the writer was about _.A. 13 years old B. 15 years oldC. 26 years old D. 28 years old答案與解析D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段可知作者是在13歲生日時(shí)得到的戒指；根據(jù)第三段最后一句可知，兩年后作者一家賣掉了房子，當(dāng)時(shí)她應(yīng)該是15歲；再根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第一句可知，13年前買房的那家人因?yàn)檠b修而發(fā)現(xiàn)了這枚戒指。根據(jù)以上細(xì)節(jié)計(jì)算，作者重獲戒指時(shí)應(yīng)該是28歲。7Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.
