单元综合测评(五).阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)A After leaving Vancouver Airport，I got on the Skytrain to downtown Vancouver.Id hardly sat down when two local ladies got on the train，sat next to me and started chatting with me.When I got to Burrard Station，I asked a passerby for directions to my hotel.He took a lot of time to explain it to me.But I still got confused and had to ask another passerby for directions.This time I was guided along the street practically to the door of my hotel.So far，after just 45 minutes in Vancouver，Id met four Vancouverites (温哥华人)，all of whom were unbelievably friendly and helpful.Before I came to Canada，I was told Canadians were friendly.Well，thats really true.When I arrived at my hotel，it was 4：00 pm and I only had one day to explore Vancouver，so after admiring the harbour views from my hotel room，I had a quick shower，cast one more longing glance at the bed，and then stepped out into the bright Vancouver sunshine.It was a sunny spring day.I planned to visit Stanley Park，just a tenminute walk from my hotel，so I took a bike from Spokes Bicycle Rentals and cycled through the park，stopping every few meters to take photos，admire the wildlife and watch the locals enjoying the sunshine.As a traveler，one can walk，bike，or go roller skating around Vancouvers Stanley Park.Its a popular local hangout (某人常去的地方) whether you want to sunbathe or pose for your wedding photos.I could have hung out in Stanley Park until dusk，but I had to keep moving as two friends and some Vancouver locals were meeting me at the hotel at 6：00 pm.So I had to leave to meet them.If you are interested in my time in Canada，come back to my blog tomorrow.【语篇解读】作者向我们讲述了他在温哥华的一段旅行经历。1When the writer was on the train to downtown Vancouver， Ahe offered to talk with two womenBhe asked some strangers for directionsCtwo local women kept talking with each otherDtwo local women left him a friendly impression【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“two local ladies got on the train，sat next to me and started chatting with me”以及第二段的“So far，after just 45 minutes in Vancouver，Id met four Vancouverites(温哥华人)，all of whom were unbelievably friendly and helpful.”可知在火车上，两个当地的女人给作者留下了非常友好的印象。【答案】D2Why didnt the writer take a good rest after arriving at his hotel?ABecause he had to meet two friends immediately.BBecause he found it hard to fall asleep in the daytime.CBecause he wasnt tired after having a good sleep in the train.DBecause he wanted to have more time to explore Vancouver.【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“I only had one day to explore Vancouver.”可知作者没有在旅馆里好好休息是因为想多些时间在Vancouver玩。【答案】D3What would the writer do at night?ASpend time with two friends and some locals.BGo to visit some friends at their home.CKeep hanging out in Stanley Park.DTake a good rest at his hotel alone.【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第五段的“but I had to keep moving as two friends and some Vancouver locals were meeting me at the hotel at 6：00 pm.So I had to leave to meet them”可推断作者晚上会跟两个朋友和一些本地人待在一起。【答案】A4What is this passage mainly about?AThe writers impression of Canadians.BThe writers visit to Vancouver，Canada.CWhy the writer enjoyed his trip to Canada.DThe writers most unforgettable experience.【解析】主旨大意题。作者主要向我们讲述了他在温哥华的旅行经历，故选B。【答案】BBOnly a few people in Toronto have the luck to live within walking distance from their workplace.For the rest of us，commuting (乘车上下班) is a rather unpleasant daily necessity.So how do you avoid a traffic jam in Toronto? You can do it in the old way and listen to one of the radio stations that give regular updates about the traffic situation in Torontos streets.Seeing the big picture of Torontos traffic and knowing when and where heavy traffic occurs is a must.From my own experience，there are situations where a quick decision can help you make it in time for an event or a meeting.Thats why we prepared three short videos showing the overall traffic situation in Toronto from dawn to night.You can click them and watch.With the help of “Google Maps”，where you can watch the live traffic density all over the world and average traffic data based on past conditions，we were able to provide you with traffic maps for a typical (平常的) Friday.Friday traffic in Toronto is quite fast in the early morning，with only a few hot spots showing up at the major junctions (交叉点) at 7：00 am.The morning traffic jam starts light at 7：30 and the traffic gradually slows down to reach a breaking point at 8：30.The roads are quite free afterwards，only Allen Road is likely to be jammed around lunchtime from 11：30 am to 12：00 noon.It comes as no surprise that Friday afternoon brings heavy traffic as early as 1：30 pm，mainly on the Don Valley Parkway.You wont have a good time getting away from the city from 4：00 pm to 6：30 pm，as there is a good chance to get caught in a traffic jam.The traffic in Toronto is quite heavy on a Friday night.I hope you will have a nice Friday night in the city and a safe journey home this Friday!【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了多伦多的交通情况。5By saying “commuting is a rather unpleasant daily necessity”，the writer refers to the fact that Abuses are usually very crowdedBthey are often stuck in traffic jamsCthey have to travel a long way to workDthey usually cannot do anything on the way to work【解析】推理判断题。本文主要是讲多伦多的交通堵塞情况，作者说上班的路上不是很愉快，是因为堵车的缘故。【答案】B6According to Paragraph 2，when you are in a traffic jam，you should Ado nothing but to wait patientlyBreport your situation to a radio stationCrelax and enjoy some good radio programsDmake a quick decision and find another way to go【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段的“From my own experience，there are situations where a quick decision can help you make it in time for an event or a meeting.”可知应选D。【答案】D7What is the last paragraph mainly about?AWhat the traffic in Toronto is like for a typical Friday.BHow to avoid heavy traffic on Friday.CWhy the traffic is terrible on Friday.DWhat “Google Maps” can do for us.【解析】主旨大意题。通读末段，可知主要是讲多伦多周五的交通情况，故选A。【答案】A8Where is this passage taken from?AA TV program.BA radio program.CA website.DA travel booklet.【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段的“You can click them and watch.”可推断本文来源于某个网站。【答案】CCWhen I first started to learn Spanish at the age of 12，I knew I would want to live in Spain as an adult.Something drew me here，powerfully.I pursued a Spanish degree and spent my third year studying in Spain.At first，the difference in working culture really struck me.People work very long a dayusually from 9：00 am to 7：00 pm.But theyll always take time for a decent lunch break or to enjoy a coffee at a caf.Theres none of that miserable business of stuffing a sandwich at your desk at 1：00 pm as in Britain.I have also found it difficult to get used to the late nights.People are out at restaurants with their kids at 11：00 pm，and toprating television programmes are on at 1：00 am.It is a sleepless nation，but they have got used to it from a young age.Most foreign people，of course，are in a daze for the first few months.I still drop off at 11：00 pm，when the nights just getting started.Spanish guys are much more confident than the British.Theyll chat you up，theyre outspoken and they go after what they want.They say the macho (富有大男子气概的) culture has changed a lot.You can see this in the ads for family violence hotlines (热线) on Spanish television.Spain has a horrible record for it，but when I was here in 2009，it wasnt talked about.Theres a sense that the nation is growing up when it comes to gender politics.The Spanish cant make a decent cup of tea，and I miss my friends and family，but thats it.I enjoy my life here very much.【语篇解读】作者通过自己的亲身体验，向我们介绍了西班牙人的一些生活方式。9What do we know about the writer?AHe stayed in Spain for one year for his job.BHe wasnt interested in learning Spanish at first.CHe enjoyed his life in Spain very much.DHe got used to the night life in Spain very quickly.【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段的“I enjoy my life here very much.”可知，作者很喜欢他在西班牙的生活。【答案】C10We know that in Spain Apeople usually have a nice cup of tea at noonBpeople dont spend much time on their workCpeople usually have a sandwich for lunch at workDpeople usually take a good break from work at noon【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段的“But theyll always take time for a decent lunch break or to enjoy a coffee at a caf.”可知应选D。【答案】D11What does the underlined part “drop off” in Paragraph 3 mean?AFall asleep.BGo out.CStay up.DStand up.【解析】词义猜测题。根据still的语境，可知作者是说即使现在，他也在晚上十一点就“睡着”了。【答案】A12It is implied in Paragraph 4 that Awomen in Spain are not allowed to workBSpanish guys are not as macho as beforeCSpanish guys are not as confident as beforeDpeople in Spain dont care about family violence【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段的“the macho (富有大男子气概的) culture has changed a lot”“but when I was here in 2009，it wasnt talked about”及“the nation is growing up”可知现在西班牙男人的大男子主义已经不像以前那样严重了。【答案】BD【导学号：97770053】Nelson Mandela was a South

tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color.They do this for many reasons.Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group. 16 Lets look at some different examples of body painting. 17 Among the Masai of East Africa，when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people，they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red.This ceremony takes place every seven to fourteen years，so there is not an exact age for participating in it.The Samburu，also from East Africa，like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive. 18 To show that he has killed a lion，a man will paint his body with a natural white material，making special marks to represent this accomplishment.The Masai men also use this white to show that they are no longer boys and are considered adults.One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa.Once a year，they have a beauty contest for men. 19 Then they add white and black circles and lines.Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth，which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful. 20 As you travel，enjoy the beautiful and bright colors of Africa.ARed is the common color in body painting because it often represents health and long life.BOther marks are used for ceremonies such as weddings and during times of war.CThe ceremony expresses hope for rain.DThe Masai men also have a unique way of showing that they are brave.EThe women then decide which man they like best.FThe men pretend to fight each other.GThe men paint their faces yellow and red.【答案】1620BADGE.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)On August 26，1999，New York
