　　Unit 4　Astronomy:the science of stars

　　(60分钟83分)

　　Part A

　　一、阅读理解(共9小题;每小题2分,满分18分)

　　A

　　Forget cyclists,pedestrians are real danger

　　We are having a debate about this topic.Here are some letters from our readers.

　　■　Yes,many cyclists behave dangerously.Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists.But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders.

　　People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone,quite unaware of what is going on around them.They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere.The rest of us have to evade(避让)them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.

　　The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be,at least for the moment,in worlds of their own that are,to them,much more important than the welfare of others.

　　—Michael Horan

　　■　I loved the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists(Viewpoints,May 29).I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.

　　I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me.

　　The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.

　　The police do nothing.What a laugh they are!

　　The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets,fluorescent(发荧光的)jackets and lights at nights and in the morning.They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.

　　—Carol Harvey

　　■　Cyclists jump on and off pavements(which are meant for pedestrians),ride at speed along the pavements,and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.

　　I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.

　　Other road users,including horse riders,manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?

　　It’s about time they had to be registered and insured,so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle,or cause an accident,at least they can be traced and there might be an opportunity to claim.

　　—JML

　　Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper.

　　【文章大意】随着交通的发达,越来越多的车辆给行人和骑车者带来安全隐患,与此同时,行人和骑车人的一些不良行为也是造成交通事故的潜在原因。在本文中,读者们就行人和骑车人出行的一些不良行为进行了吐槽。

　　1.C　推理判断题。根据Michael Horan写的信中的第二、三段可知他写信是为了说明行人的不良行为给交通带来的危险,故选C项。

　　2.B　细节理解题。根据Carol Harvey写的信中最后一段的首句可知,他建议骑车者应该受到限制,只走自行车专用道,故选B项。

　　3.B　细节理解题。根据JML写的信中的第一段可知他主要抱怨的是自行车骑车者在人行道上车速太快,故选B项。

　　4.D　代词指代题。根据JML信中的内容可知他主要抱怨的是自行车骑车者,故此处的they就是指“骑车者”。故选D项。

　　An ambitious project to establish a human colony on Mars has attracted applications from tens of thousands of would-be astronauts,just two weeks after applications opened.

　　The mission,a private venture by the Dutch non-profit organization,Mars One,aims to send a crew to the Red Planet in 2022—and,due to the physiological change in the human body after a stay on Mars,there’d be no coming back.That hasn’t deterred people,though,so far,over 200,000 people have applied to become one of Mars’ first immigrants.“This is turning out to be the most desired job in history,” says Bas Lansdorp,co-founder of Mars One.

　　Day-to-day life on Mars will be no picnic.The organization says that the daily routine on the planet would involve construction work on the colony (installing greenhouses,for example),maintenance of the settlement’s systems and research into Mars’ climate and geological history—all in an inhospitable environment with unbreathable air and an average temperature in the planet’s mid-latitudes of around -58 ℉.

　　But Mars One says it is not looking for applicants with specific skills,such as a science degree,which might be useful during an interplanetary posting.Instead,they are looking for people who “have a deep sense of purpose,willingness to build and maintain healthy relationships,the capacity for self-reflection and ability to trust.” They also want volunteers who are “resilient,adaptable,curious,creative and resourceful.” Candidates will receive a minimum of eight years training before leaving Earth,the company says.

　　In addition to people skills,successful applicants must be good fundraisers too:Mars One plans to raise much of the mission’s $6 billion estimated cost through a reality TV show following the applicants as they undergo preparations for the one-way trip to Mars.

　　1.According to the passage,we can’t know about Mars that . 

　　A.there is no human beings living on it now

　　B.there is no air on it

　　C.the mid-latitudes’ average temperature is lower than that on the earth

　　D.it will lead to physiological change for human beings living on it

　　2.The applicants will on Mars. 

　　A.live in cold

　　B.get a desired job

　　C.do some research

　　D.get a large amount of money

　　3.The applicants are not necessary to . 

　　A.have a science degree

　　B.have people skills

　　C.be good fundraisers

　　D.have a deep sense of purpose

　　4.The underlined word “deterred” in Paragraph 2 means . 

　　A.prevented B.scared

　　C.explained to D.informed

　　【文章大意】本文为说明文,主要介绍了一项人类移民火星计划。

　　1.B　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“all in an inhospitable environment with unbreathable air”可知,火星上没有适合人呼吸的空气,但这并不是说火星上没有空气,因此B项不符合文意。

　　2.C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“research into Mars’ climate and geological history”可知,他们将研究火星的气候和地质历史,即进行研究工作,故选C项。

　　3.A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“it is not looking for applicants with specific skills,such as a science degree”可知,申请者不需要有科学学位。

　　4.A　词义推测题。此句中的主语that是指上句提到的“due to the physiological change in the human body after a stay on Mars,there’d be no coming back”,即这是一次有去无回的旅程,然而下文却说已有超过20万人申请移民火星,故可推断deter意为“阻止”。

　　二、语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)

　　As they walked on,the coin in one little girl’s hand seemed to burn a hole of 6(guilty).The next day she called her friends.And they agreed to put their coins in a jar 7.(mark) “Harry’s Christmas Gift”.Then they began to seek out small jobs to earn more.Every coin they earned went into the jar. 

　　Finally,they had enough money 8.(buy) new gloves.Christmas Eve found them on Harry’s doorstep singing carols.They presented him with the gloves.With 9.(tremble) hands,he held the gloves to his face and wept.No doubt he once again felt 10. love of others as the girls reached out to him. 

　　(2015·郑州二模)

　　2.to talk。stop to do sth.意为“停下来去做某事”。

　　3.was getting。Harry说话时正在修整院子,联系全文的主体时态可知,应用过去进行时。

　　二、七选五阅读填空(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

　　　1　 We are learning from life constantly,as long as we recognize and accept those lessons.When you choose to be a student of life,you open yourself to limitless opportunities. 

　　Explore the world.Don’t limit yourself to your hometown or to the city you got your first job.　2　 It doesn’t have to be just one town or one apartment complex.Backpacking may not be for everyone,but it’s the only way you can see the world.Traveling doesn’t just have to be going overseas but also dropping by many states.Culture exists not just in a country but even in small communities. 

　　Acquire new life skills.Maybe it’s time that you finally learn how to fix a broken faucet or even fix the faulty light in your bathroom.You can finally cross out your bucket list items that have been there forever.Learn how to drive a car or ride a bike.There are definitely things you don’t know how to do,and you have a lifetime ahead of you to learn.　3　 

　　Be cultured.Watch as many movies and read as many books as possible.And it doesn’t mean that you only watch the ones with high ratings from critics.Books and movies are the fruit of the writers’ or the makers’ life experiences and understanding of their surroundings.Movies and books are a good look into how people interpret the world.

　　　4　 For some individuals,to grow older means to keep your circle of friends down to a few,but that shouldn’t stop you from meeting new people.Widen your circle by allowing people into your life and letting them get to know you.Widening your circle to people from all walks of life gives you a bigger and better perspective of the world. 

　　Do many first’s.When was the last time you did something for the first time?　5　 It can be as simple as watching a movie alone or as big as trying bungee jumping.Doing something for the first time doesn’t need to have a life-changing effect.It can be a simple realization that apparently,going to a film screening by yourself isn’t so bad. 

　　So,there are so much more to learn,especially now that we’re virtually connected to everyone in the world.As a student of life,it’s really up to you to use all your resources and make it into something enriching.

　　(2015·吉林长春外国语学校期中考试)

　　A.Widen your circle.

　　B.Entertain yourself.

　　C.Lessons are not limited to our academic studies.

　　D.It’s never too late to start learning something new.

　　E.You don’t always need a deep understanding for everything you do.

　　F.Go beyond the place you consider home,because home can be many places.

　　G.If you can’t think of the answer,maybe you need to go out and try something new.

　　【文章大意】本文为说明文,介绍了从生活中学会成长的五种方式。

　　1.C　根据本段第二句“我们总能不断地从生活中学到东西”和最后一句“当你选择做生活的学徒时,你便给自己创造了无限机遇”可知,C项“课堂并不局限于校园学习”与文意相符。

　　2.F　由第二段提到的表示地点的词汇town,apartment complex,the world,overseas,states,country,communities等可知,F项承接下文,讲述的是不要把自己局限于所谓的“家”内,因为处处可以为家。故F项正确。

　　3.D　由第三段主题句“Acquire new life skills.”可知,D项与文意相符。

　　4.A　根据下文中的“Widen your circle by...”,“Widening your circle to...”可看出,该段强调的是“要扩大交际圈子”,故主题句为A项。

　　5.G　根据该段主题句“多尝试第一次”和下文中的问句“上回你第一次尝试新事物是什么时候?”可推知,G项顺承文意。

　　三、短文改错(满分10分)

　　Li Hua has been living in the city with his parents after he was born.During the past Spring Festival,his parents take him back to their hometown in the countryside for the first time,it made them all happy,especially his grandparents.He enjoyed staying with his grandparents as well as ran in the open air.He took a lot of pictures of the things that seemed strangely and new.He shared his pictures with his friends in the city on Internet.They showed great interest in one of the picture,arguing that he must be about a new kind of hamburger they hadn’t tasted yet.Some friends wouldn’t wait any longer and called on him for answer.After answered several calls,Li Hua quit their QQ group.

　　(2016·湖北浠水实验高中月考)

　　1.第1句:after→since。句意:李华自出生以来一直和父母一起生活在这个城市。主句是现在完成进行时,时间状语从句应用since引导,表示“自从……以来”。

　　2.第2句:take→took。根据时间状语during the past Spring Festival可知,这里讲述的是过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时。

　　3.第2句:it→which或在it前加and。此处应用which引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面整句的内容。或在it前加and,使之成为并列句。

　　4.第3句:ran→running。as well as引导并列的成分作enjoy的宾语。故将ran改为running。

　　5.第4句:strangely→strange。seem是连系动词,后跟形容词作表语。

　　6.第5句:在Internet前加the。Internet是专有名词,其前需用定冠词the来修饰。

　　7.第6句:picture→pictures。“one of the +复数名词”表示“……之一”。

　　8.第6句:he→it。此处指的是前面提到的那一幅照片,故用it指代。

　　9.第7句:删除on。call sb.为固定短语,意为“打电话给某人”。

　　10.第8句:answered→answering或在answered前加he。after作介词时,后跟V-ing形式作宾语;after作连词时,在answered前加he构成状语从句。
