2020学年人教版英语精品资料Unit 4 单元测试题第二部分： 阅读理解 （共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。AAt the age of 95, Olga Kotelko attracted great attention at the World Masters Athletics Championships. This 5ft-tall Canadian became the oldest recorded woman indoor runner, high jumper and long jumper at the competition.Olga now has more than 30 world records to her name and has won more than 750 gold medals. But she sees herself as nothing special, describing herself as just a plain Jane. As one of 11 children brought up on a farm, she has always been active, milking cows and doing other housework. She has now outlived all her brothers and sisters and most of her friends but when asked what her secret is, she says there isnt one. “I think your age is just a number. Its not your birthday; its how you age that makes the difference. Its your attitude to all the things that happen in your life that plays the biggest part.”So can we all turn ourselves into nonagenarian (九十多岁的) superheroes? Research from Newcastle University suggests that as every 24 hours pass, we add an extra five hours to our lives thats over 2 months each year partly because of improving living conditions and medical development. And in the UK the number of people who are living into their 100th year has nearly increased by four times since the 1980s. So ageing is not a terrible thing. While Olgas genes (基因) might help her, were not all prisoners to our own. After all, 75% of our later lives could be down to the lifestyle we choose to lead. A good diet (饮食) and regular exercise are key. Besides, developing friendships in mid-life also works. Dr Holland, director of Aston Universitys research centre for healthy ageing, says: “The more friends you have when youre 50-60 years old, the less likely youre to be lonely in later life; the less lonely you are, the less likely youre to be ill as the years go by.” 21. Olga Kotelko was well-known at the World Masters Athletics Championships because _.A. she was the oldest sportswoman there B. she competed in several eventsC. she set a new world record D. she won a gold there22. What did Olga Kotelko mean by describing herself as a plain Jane?A. She was hard-working. B. She was once named Jane.C. She was very active. D. She was very common.23. Olga Kotelkos words suggest that _.A. we shouldnt count our age up like numbers B. we shouldnt celebrate our birthday as we get oldC. we should try to have a positive attitude towards life D. we should learn to change according to what happens24. We can learn from the last paragraph that _.A. how long we live doesnt completely depend on genesB. Olga Kotelko succeeded because of her good genesC. its hard for the middle-aged to make friendsD. its unavoidable for people to get oldBGeorge Watford works at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in New York City. He gets some unusual phone calls. One day, he got a call about a mountain lion living in a small building. “We didnt believe it,” Watford said. “But when we went out there, sure enough, there was a mountain lion sitting at the front window looking out at us.” The big cats owner knew that his neighbors were unhappy about the animal. He didnt try to stop us taking it away. In one year, the ASPCA took in 9,459 different animals, not counting cats and dogs. That number includes a lot of rabbits and monkeys, but the ASPCA has also taken many other exotic (外来的) pets from peoples homes. These animals cant be set free into the wild because they wouldnt survive. The ASPCA tries to find homes for them in zoos or special areas for animals. Its against the law to sell wild animals in New York City. Many buildings dont even allow dogs and cats, not to mention more exotic animals. Still, the ASPCA takes away most of the exotic animals not because of complaints (怨言), but because the pets owner needs help. A lovely baby lion or bear will finally grow up to be dangerous. “When they bite (咬人), it isnt because they hate you. Its because theyre wild animals,” said exotic animal expert Kathi Travers. Travers is quick to give speeches against raising wild animals as pets. Too often people think that caring for a wild animal is the same as caring for a dog or a cat. “To love an animal is not enough,” Travers said. “There has to be respect (尊重), and respect is not taking an animal, sticking it in a little cage, and expecting the animal to be happy.”25. The call was made _.A. to report a missing lion B. to report a neighbor for keeping a lion C. when the owner was awayD. when the lion broke out of the window26. When it finds an exotic animal in the city, the ASPCA _.A. keeps it until it grows upB. sets it free into the wildC. helps find it a homeD. sells it to a zoo27. The last paragraph is written to show that _.A. it takes effort to care for a wild animal B. keeping wild animals as pets is unwiseC. wild animals are happy in big spacesD. wild animals can be dangerousCBest of News DesignThe competition invites entries from all magazines and newspapers daily or non-daily published (出版) anywhere in the world.How to EnterBest of News Design Creative Competition is held each year.

The winners of the competition will _.A. show their certificates online B. have their names recorded in a book C. get an advertisement page in a newspaperD. make a public appearance at a news conferenceDAnyone whos held a rolled-up newspaper to fight with a housefly knows just how difficult it can be to catch the fly. Flies always seem to know where youre coming from and how to get away.“Flies are very good at what they do,” says Michael Dickinson, a professor of biology at the University of Washington. To study the insects in action, Dickinson used a machine to run flies to a tube, where a plate was ready to catch the flies from different directions front, side, and back while a high-speed camera filmed the insects reactions (反应) to the unpleasant hit.After running hundreds of flies through his machine, Dickinson discovered something interesting. Within 300 milliseconds of a possible hit, the flies were well prepared. If the hit was right in front of its head, the fly would shift (挪动) its middle pair of legs forward moving it backward and away from danger. When the hit came from the back, the fly would shift its middle legs backward to jump forward. Flies may eat dog droppings, but these insects are also beautiful dancers.Dickinsons interest in housefly hitting goes beyond keeping his office fly-free. His research is helping others build smart micro-robots that can copy the flies flight patterns (模式). The military (军队), too, is interested in Dickinsons work. It hopes to use findings like his to build planes with better reaction times, which could keep soldiers out of harms way.As for Dickinson, it should be noted that he doesnt hate flies. In fact, he goes out of his way to avoid killing them: “I get a little angry when someone brushes a fly away, since Im usually looking at it, watching it clean itself and move its little head.”31. What did Michael Dickinson find about flies?A. They react very quickly.B. They have powerful legs.C. They are good at dancing.D. They have a sense of direction.32. Michael Dickinson came to his conclusions _.A. by example B. by experiment C. by comparison D. by explanation33. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that _.A. flies may be used in other fields in the future B. flies provide inspiration for humans C. flies remain a danger to planes D. flies help robots improve34. What does Michael Dickinson think of flies?A. Dirty. B. Beautiful. C. Unpleasant. D. Interesting.35. Whats the best title for the text?A. A strange insect B. A day in the life of a fly C. To catch a fly D. To avoid a fly第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to make a friendSmile!

Gift giving is often a process of exchange (交换过程). 43 you receive a birthday gift from someone, that person usually 44 a birthday gift from you 45 . In some cultures, there are certain rules about gift exchange. In Pakistan, for example, there is a tradition called “taking giving.” It 46 this way: You give the newly-married couple a gift, and they “repay” you with a gift of higher value. Then you give the couple 47 gift. This one should be worth the difference between the first two gifts. The gift exchange continues, 48 the same way.In many ancient cultures, people made 49 to their leaders to show their loyalty (忠诚). The Nubians in ancient Egypt are a good 50 . They brought gold to the Egyptian kings. Traditions like these 51 today in some parts of the world. In parts of Africa, for example, farmers may give gifts to the local leaders to 52 them for protection.Today presidents 53 bring gifts when they 54 a foreign leader. Leaders bring gifts to strengthen relationships between 55 , not to emphasize (强调) the power of the gift receiver.Gifts can 56 send special messages. For example, gifts can tell people that we are thinking of them and that we want them to feel 57 . Sometimes a gift makes us remember the giver. The gift keeps the 58 of a special person and a special relationship alive.There is no doubt about the good side of gift giving. That is why some people dont 59 the idea that modern gift giving is very wasteful. It is 60 that there is an emotional benefit (情感好处) for people who exchange gifts.
