Unit12 Art and literature 课时达标检测（必修1，含2016年模拟试题，含答案解析）
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．(2016·安徽皖南八校三联)—I am afraid I’ve broken your chair.
—________.I can easily get it fixed.
A．Don’t mention it
B．That’s right
C．Not at all
D．Never mind
解析：选D。考查情景交际。句意：——恐怕我把你的椅子弄坏了。——没关系，我能轻松地把它修好。Never mind“不要紧，没关系”符合语境。Don’t mention it不用谢，是对别人表示感谢时的应答语；That’s right那是对的；Not at all别客气，是回答别人感谢的应答语。本题易误选为B项，考生把That’s right误认为是That’s all right(没关系)。
2．(2016·安徽安庆二模)Holding________2016 Provincial Games successfully will be________victory not only for Anqing government，but for________residents of this city.
A．the；a；the
B．/；the；/
C．/；a；the
D．the；a；/
解析：选A。句意：成功举办2016年省运动会不仅对安庆市政府，而且对这个城市的居民来说都将会是一个胜利。第一空后的2016 Provincial Games表特指，故用定冠词；第二空后的victory在本句中表示“胜利的事情”，为抽象名词的具体化，且victory在本句中表泛指，故用不定冠词；第三空后的residents在本句中表特指，故与定冠词连用。
3．(2012·高考四川卷)In our class there are 46 students，________ half wear glasses.
A．in whom
B．in them
C．of whom
D．of them
解析：选C。考查非限制性定语从句。句意：在我们班上有46个学生，其中有一半的学生戴眼镜。做此题可用排除法。因空格前有逗号，而无连接词，再分析句子结构可以判断，这是个非限制性定语从句，故首先排除B、D两项。再根据句意可知，此处指其中的一半，表所属关系应该用of。
4．When________to repairing a computer，I have little knowledge of it.
A．I come
B．it comes
C．we come
D．they come
解析：选B。句意：当谈及维修电脑时，我知道得很少。When it comes/came to...是固定句式，意为“当谈及/涉及……时”。
5．Hardly could he________this amount of work in such a short time.
A．get through
B．get off
C．get into
D．get down
解析：选A。句意：他几乎不能在如此短时间内完成这些工作。get through成功，通过，完成。
6．He has written________articles about air pollution hoping to call the attention of all people to the problem.
A．a series of
B．a large amount of
C．a plenty of
D．a great deal of
解析：选A。a large amount of和a great deal of修饰不可数名词；C项中多了一个a。
7．The little boy is very naughty.His parents don’t know what to________him.
A．do about
B．care about
C．deal with
D．talk with
解析：选A。句意：这个小男孩很淘气。他父母不知拿他怎么办。可用what to do about/with him或how to deal with him。
8．It is so nice to hear from her.________，we last met more than thirty years ago.
A．What’s more
B．That is to say
C．In other words
D．Believe it or not
解析：选D。believe it or not信不信由你。由于两人最后一次见面距现在已经有三十多年了，为了让对方相信这是事实，用了这种表达法。what’s more另外；that is to say这就是说，in other words换句话说。
9．In France，it is the________to shake hands with people in the office every morning.
A．custom
B．behaviour
C．habit
D．act
解析：选A。habit指“个体的习惯、习性”；custom则指国家、民族或群体的“风俗”和“习惯”。
10．(2012·高考辽宁卷)—I’m terribly sorry to interrupt, but may I use your phone? It’s rather urgent.
— Yes, ________.
A．with pleasure
B．no hurry
C．it doesn’t matter
D．of course
解析：选D。考查交际用语。乍看本题我们会以为是对道歉的回答，因为题干中有“I’m terribly sorry”，但是仔细观察后我们知道，这只是引出自己的请求的客套语。“...may I．..”才是本题的关键，因此排除B、C两项。A项也是对别人请求的回答，但是with pleasure是别人劳驾自己做事情时的回答。句意：“很对不起，打扰了，我能用一下你的电话吗？事情很紧急。”“当然可以。”分析语境后我们可以知道，这是别人在寻求帮助时的回答。但是帮助也分为我们去做事情和别人得到我们的允许做事情。不同情况下的回答是不一样的。其他选项中，it doesn’t matter是对别人道歉的回答；no hurry是对别人催促的回答。
11．Hiking by oneself can be fun and good for health.It may also be good for________building.
A．respect
B．friendship
C．reputation
D．character
解析：选D。根据常识便可知，运动既可增强体质也可强健个性，不会增强“尊敬”或“名声”，“友谊”虽然可以增强，但与前面的health不搭配，故答案为D项。
12．Come on，tell me what’s wrong.Sometimes it helps to________your problems，you know.
A．reply
B．divide
C．share
D．separate
解析：选C。share your problems共同分担你的问题。
13．(2011·高考山东卷)—Are you going to Tom’s birthday party?
—________.I might have to work.
A．It depends
B．Thank you
C．Sounds great
D．Don’t mention it
解析：选A。句意：——你将参加汤姆的生日晚会吗？——看情况吧？我可能要工作。考查情景交际。通过I might have to work.可知，说话者不一定能去汤姆的生日晚会。所以选A，其他三个选项都不符合题意。
14．His car________the terrible traffic jam，so he had to call off his appointment with his doctor.
A．came across
B．came along
C．came between
D．came at
答案：A
15．(2012·高考大纲全国卷Ⅱ)—What shall we do tonight then?
—________—whatever you want.
A．Help yourself
B．It’s a deal
C．No problem
D．It’s up to you
解析：选D。考查交际用语。句意：——那么，我们今晚做什么呢？——你说了算——你想做什么都行。A项意为“随便吃；请自便”；B项意为“就这么定了”；C项意为“没问题”；D项意为“这取决于你；你说了算”。本题的关键是答语中的“whatever you want”，既然“你想做什么都行”，那肯定是让对方拿主意，故D项正确。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
(2012·高考新课标全国卷)Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious.Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper － a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the _follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.
【语篇解读】 有一种鸟，能轻易找到蜂蜜，并借助人或其他动物的帮助，得到自己喜欢的蜂蜡。非洲森林中一种蜂蜜竟然将人或其他动物与这种鸟儿联系在一起，他们各取所需。
1．Why is it difficult to find a wild bees’ nest?
A．It’s small in size.
B．It’s hidden in trees.
C．It’s covered with wax.
D．It’s hard to recognize.
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第一段的Often，these nests are high up in trees，and it is difficult to find them.可知答案。野蜂窝难找是因为它通常都是隐藏在很高的树上。
2．What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．A bee.
B．A bird.
C．A honey seeker.
D．A beekeeper.
解析：选C。词义猜测题。画线词指的是前面的passing animals and people或the curious animal or person，这些动物或人都是来找蜂蜜的，故C项正确。
3．The honey guide is special in the way________.
A．it gets its food
B．it goes to church
C．it sings in the forest
D．it reaches into bees’ nests
解析：选A。推理判断题。这种蜂蜜向导的特殊之处就在于它们获得食物的方式与众不同。根据第二段的叙述可知，这种鸟以一种蜂蜡为食，但是这种蜂蜡在蜂窝的深处，它们够不到，于是它们便找来喜欢蜂蜜的帮手相助。
4．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Wild Bees
B．Wax and Honey
C．Beekeeping in Africa
D．Honey-Lover’s Helper
解析：选D。标题判断题。本文主要讲述的是非洲森林里的一种奇特的动物——一种蜂蜜向导，它们帮助喜爱蜂蜜的人或其他动物寻找蜂蜜，并得到自己想要的蜂蜡，D项既概括了全文主旨，又不失风趣，helper一词很传神。为了得到不同的食物，人、动物和鸟儿互相帮助，各取所需。
B
(2016·江西重点中学协作体第一次联考)Camille Mahlknecht,9，has some big fun planned for this weekend.She and other residents of Agoura Hills，California，plan to pick up trash during their city’s annual cleanup.At the same time，Wissam Raed,12，will be busy volunteering too.Thousands of miles away in Lebanon，Wissam plans to put on a play at an orphanage and bring potted plants to elderly people at a senior citizen center.
Some other children like Nathan White,10，have personal reasons for volunteering.Nathan’s grandmother died of a heart attack.To help raise money for medical research，Nathan participated in Jump Rope for Heart.He and five other boys took turns jumping rope for two and half hours and collected more than US $1,200 in donations for the American Heart Association.
Millions of children around the globe lend a hand to their communities every year.Schools and parents also contribute to the rise in youth service.For example，many schools offer community service activities for students to join.Teachers either combine volunteer work with classroom lessons or make service work a requirement.Parents，on the other hand，encourage their kids to volunteer and do it with them.
Community service is particularly important in this depression time.As the need for monetary support and other aid has increased，many charitable organizations have experienced a significant drop in donations.Camille and other children who volunteer thousands of hours annually can fill in some of the gaps.
According to research，kids who start volunteering are twice as likely to continue doing good deeds when they are adults.So，grab a paintbrush，a trash bag，or whatever you need to help your community.You’ll love how you feel after helping others.Even dirty work can be lots of fun，if it’s for a good cause.
