精品资料Unit 1 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。AInsects (昆虫) are a very healthy food. They have almost as much protein (蛋白质) as meat from a pig or cow and are low in fat. Eating insects is also very good for the environment since they need less land and water than larger animals. Marcel Dicke, who studies insects, explained in a talk how insects also produce more meat from the food they eat. For example, imagine a farmer feeds a cow 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce about 1 pound of meat for people to eat. However, imagine the farmer gives a certain number of insects 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce 9 pounds of meat for people to eat!Eating more insects can also help people in poor areas. Many people can raise and sell insects, which can provide jobs and food. But insects will not replace (替代) animal meat very quickly. First, people in some countries would have to change how they think about eating insects. Many people in North America and Europe eat a lot of meat like beef and pork. But they do not traditionally eat insects. In fact, for many people in the west, eating insects sounds crazy! They believe insects are dirty and dangerous. Insects make them feel uncomfortable.Some people are trying to deal with this problem. For example, David George Gordon wrote a book named “The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook”, which tries to show people that insects can be delicious. Other insect experts travel around telling people about the benefits (好处) of eating insects. But they still have a lot of work to do.21. Eating insects _.A. is not healthy B. makes people put on fatC. helps protect large animalsD. is environmentally friendly22. The example of Marcel Dicke is given to show _.A. the high cost of food production B. its quite easy for farmers to raise insectsC. raising insects is a good choice for farmersD. the different ways of feeding cows and insects23. The long way eating insects has to go mainly results from _.A. their terrible taste B. peoples old beliefsC. family traditions D. eating methods24. We can infer from David and other insect experts that _.A. people can make a lot of money from insects B. insects should be better protected C. people should eat more insectsD. its dangerous to eat insectsBKhan Academy is a website providing a free education for any person. The website includes more than 4,000 short teaching videos about many different subjects. Every month, over 7 million people go to the Khan Academy website to watch its videos. Khan Academy began with one man named Salman Khan. As a young man, Khan got a degree from Harvard Business School and began to work in business.In 2006, Khan used the Internet to help his young cousins, who lived far away, with their mathematics schoolwork. He drew numbers and pictures on the website to teach them. After a time, he put his videos onto the website , where his cousins could watch them any time they wanted. But Khan noticed that other people were also watching his videos on .By 2009, the number of people watching his videos on was getting very large. Khan decided to make the videos his job instead. So he officially began Khan Academy, providing videos on mathematics and other school subjects.People did not have to pay to watch the videos. But they could give Khan money if they wanted to support (支持) his work. Some people did give Khan small amounts of money, but he was still having a hard time. Later, a woman told Khan that Bill Gates uses Khan Academy for his kids. After that, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation began giving money to Khan Academy. In 2010 Google gave the website money too, wanting Khan to translate his videos into the worlds most common languages. Today, people can see Khans videos in many different languages.Some people think that Khan Academy will be the way more and more people learn in the future. Teachers can use it in their classrooms. Khan believes that Khan Academy will never, and should never, replace a school. But he believes teachers and students can use it to make schools better.25. What can one get from Khan Academy?A.

Besides William and Henry VIII, the towers history has other famous names in British history. In 1389 a clerk of works (现场监工员) named Geoffrey Chaucer author of The Canterbury Tales oversaw (监督) the building of the Tower Wharf. In 1671 Colonel Blood tried to steal the crown jewels (皇冠上镶的宝石) after overpowering the elderly Jewel House keeper. (Blood was caught but later pardoned.) Today the jewels remain in the tower as they have since Bloods day.For six centuries this place was also home to a group of animals from elephants to big cats. It stopped being used as an animals home in 1835 and its animals were moved to the London Zoo.Today visitors can walk the walls, visit guard towers and see the crown jewels. Guards at the tower, popularly known as beefeaters, not only guard the tower but also give interesting tours that are among the most popular parts of any visit.How to Get ThereTrains and the Dockland Light Railway stop near the tower. Buses 15, 42, 78 and 100 reach the tower, and riverboats stop at Tower Pier. Taxis, bicycles, and foot power are also good ways to reach the tower. Driving is a less attractive choice because of the expensive parking.When to GoThe tower is open all year round, except during the Christmas holidays (December 24 to 26) and January 1. School holidays and summertime are the busiest times.How to VisitAs expected at a place that has seen so much history, there is enough of interest at the Tower of London to keep visitors busy for days.

The gift-giver smiled widely and said loudly, “Its a nice, strong plant, so even you cant kill it.”I was well known in my circle of friends as an “anti-gardener” how was I going to care for this piece of greenery? For four years the plant received little care. I felt guilty (内疚的) just looking at it!As a non-gardener, my offers to look after friends houses were met with laughter: “We appreciate (感激) the offer but, really, we dont want to come home to a dead garden!” It didnt occur to (想到) them that I just had no interest in having a garden. It was a choice, not a failing.Some time later my husband accepted a job in Belgium. Because I couldnt throw away a gift, I decided to ask my neighbor to care for my plant.Our lovely house in Belgium had a beautiful garden. Slowly gardening became a part of my daily life, teaching me to slow down and to be happy in the silence of the garden. It was with regret that I left that garden to return to Sydney some months later. Back home life soon went back to normal. Then one day, it occurred to me that I could start my own little garden. So, I went to collect my unwanted plant from my neighbor. I took the plant home, watered it and watched as its leaves turned from a lifeless yellow to a rich green within weeks. Many years on, I still dont know the name of my first plant, but I do know that as it grows, so do I. It symbolises a change in me when I stopped listening to the voices around me and started to believe in myself.31.

She left it in the house. D. She gave it to a neighbor as a gift.34. The authors stay in Belgium made her _.A. miss her days back in SydneyB. feel sorry for her first plant C. fall in love with gardeningD. become strangely silent35. What does the author want to tell us from her experience?A. We should try to be perfect.B. Dont be afraid of making mistakes.C. We should learn to make clear choices.D. Dont refuse something youve never tried.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 unlock your talentSearchTo find your hidden talent (才能), youll have to search for it!
