精品资料Unit 5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。AOn a dark winter day in Russia in 1896, Sergei Prokofiev sat by a piano next to his mother. She was helping him compose (作曲) his first piece of music. Sergei was only five years old.He had overheard his parents discussing a terrible famine (饥荒) in India. The picture Sergei had of those hungry people in his mind caused him to write a story, in the form of musical notes. Sergei could not read music, so he picked out a tune on the piano keys, and his mother recorded the notes. Sergei titled it “Indian Gallop.”Sergeis mother began giving him piano lessons for 20 minutes a day, and his ability grew quickly. She had a great love for music, too, and Sergei often lay awake in bed at night and listened to her play the piano. Sergeis parents found a famous music teacher for him. The teacher shouted at Sergei when he didnt practice reading and playing music. Sergei later wrote, “I wanted to compose great musical plays, and instead I was given all sorts of boring tasks.” Yet he persisted with his studies and grew up to be a great composer.In 1936 a childrens theater asked Sergei to write music that would teach children about different instruments. He was happy and wrote the piece in a week, calling it Peter and the Wolf.Sergeis Peter and the Wolf was enjoyed by children as well as adults. The first time Sergei played the piece on the piano, the children listening to it loved it so much that they made him play the ending three extra times. He was excited. Today Sergei Prokofiev is remembered not only for his contributions (贡献) to classical music, but also for his sense of fun.21. When he was five, Sergei _.A. could read musicB. experienced a famineC. created his first composition D. wrote a story about his parents22. What does the underlined part “persisted with” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Hurried up.B. Put up with.C. Continued with.D. Walked away from.23. The piece of music Peter and the Wolf _.A. was a great successB. was one of Sergeis early works C. was written to teach children about the pianoD. was played three extra times when first played24. Whats the text mainly about?A. The greatest 20th-century composer. B. Sergeis contributions to music. C. Musical plays in Russia.D. Sergeis musical stories. BInside Out is one of my favorite Disney / Pixar movies. The story is about a young girl named Riley who moves from Minnesota to San Francisco with her family and how she deals with her emotions (情感) through the move. These five emotions in Rileys brain are Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust (厌恶) and Sadness. These emotions play a very important role in her life. I can relate because I am an 11-year-old girl and I am very in touch with my emotions and pre-teen feelings. The film is extremely beautiful and you couldnt ask for better direction from Pete Doctor. The use of the right colors for the characters is great. For example, Joy is yellow, Sadness is blue, Disgust is green, Fear is purple and Anger of course is red. Sadness plays a main role in the story and it makes me wonder why we are told not to be sad. I think its important to be sad when the time comes. The end of the movie pretty much got me and the whole audience (观众) (families, couples and even elderly people) in tears and I cried very hard.I recommend (推荐) this movie for anyone from 8 to 18 because it has enough joy in it for younger kids to like it even though it does have some sad moments. I believe that adults will like it too. And I give it 4 out of 5 stars because it connects to an older audience even though it is designed for a younger audience. I think younger children can see this, but a parent would have to explain some things to them after the movie. 25. The author feels connected with the movie because she and the character Riley _.A. enjoy the same movie B. have the same feelingsC. have the same move experience D. have a similar family background26. What does the author think of Pete Doctors job?A. Bad. B. Just so-so. C. Wonderful. D. Disappointing.27. After seeing the movie, the author has a new understanding of _.A. fear B. sadness C. anger D. joy28. In the authors eyes, the movie _.A. wont attract people over 18 B. is really unsuitable for childrenC. will be popular among kids and adultsD. can easily be understood by younger kidsCMary bought a dress in a womens clothing store. She felt very happy about buying the dress until she got home. Then she remembered she had left her purse at the store. It was the third time that month that Mary had forgotten something important. Mary was angry with herself. She said, “Am I losing it?”Emma was teaching a class in mathematics at a college. She began to explain to the students how to solve a very difficult problem. She understood it very well. But somehow, at that moment, she could not explain it. Emma said, “I must be losing it.”Americans seem to have a lot of concern about losing it. At least that is what you would think from hearing them talk. They use the expression when they feel they are losing control. It can mean losing emotional control. Or losing the ability to do something. Or losing intelligence.Word experts differ about how the expression started. Some believe it came from television programs popular in the 1980s. Others believe it began with psychologists, who deal with how people think, feel and act.“We Americans have many concerns about controlling our lives. Perhaps we worry too much,” one psychologist said. “In many situations, to say you are losing it eases the tension (不安). Its healthy. And most people who say they are having a problem are not losing it.”People may feel more like they are losing it when they are “down in the dumps”. Word expert Charles Funk says people have been feeling down in the dumps for more than 400 years. The word dumps probably comes from Northern European countries. The languages of Denmark and Norway both have similar words. The words mean to fall suddenly. Americans borrowed this saying. And, over the years, it has become a popular way of expressing sadness.29. What problem did Mary think she had?A. She seemed to have a poor memory.B. She lost the ability to shop wisely.C. She easily lost emotional control.D. She had quite low intelligence.30. How does the author explain the use of losing it?A. By using examples.B. By giving instructions. C. By providing research findings.D. By describing his own experiences.31. We can infer from the psychologist that _.A. Americans worry too much about their health problemsB. people really lose it when they say theyre losing it C. its good for your health to say youre losing itD. Americans enjoy controlling their lives32. If someone feels down in the dumps, he or she _.A. has a sudden fall in life B. becomes less popular C. is losing somethingD. is in low spiritsDUCA Art Competition 2015Take a photograph, draw or paint a picture, put it on a postcard and you could have the chance to win an iPad.

Talking with friends is not going to help you stay focused (集中注意力的) in class and will cause trouble, too. Look at the teacher. Your teacher is not just standing up there talking theyre trying to give you an acceptable education. Show the teacher that he or she has your full attention, by looking him or her in the eye. 37 Take notes. By taking notes, youll be able to “get into” the lesson. 38 Listen for key phrases such as, “This is important,” “This is the main idea,” etc. This can help you listen more intently (专心地); youll have something to do and focus on. Get involved (参与) in class discussions. This is a wonderful way to become a more focused, successful student. When a teacher asks a question, offer to answer it. 39 This shows the teacher that youre listening intently during the class. Ask a question. 40 This really shows your teacher that you want to be better, and can recognize the things youre having difficulty with. Chances are, someone else in the class has the same question (and is too afraid to ask!). Theyll be relaxed and so will you. A. Do your best.B. Avoid sitting with friends.C. Dont try to finish your old notes in class.D. Write down key points as your teacher speaks. E. If he or she asks for an opinion, share your own.F. If you dont understand something, never be afraid to ask.G. This person should have your full attention at all times in class.第三部分： 语言知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 No one sat next to Leon.
