Unit 4 Wildlife Protection.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AAn incredible dog has mastered more than just the doggy paddle (狗刨式游泳)the golden brown pet helps disabled children learn how to surf. Ricochets owner Judy Fridono said, “I was working with her at balance and coordination. Her balance is so good that she can help to stabilize the board for the kids. And it makes them feel good to know that Ricochet is there with them, keeping them company. ”Since becoming an expert, twoyearold Ricochet helps the disabled children build up the confidence to get on the board themselves. Dressed in a yellow jacket, Ricochet helps to counterbalance the board and acts as a reassuring presence.Ms. Fridono knows what an impact her beloved dog can have. She herself was severely disabled since her teens. Having Ricochet around lifts her spirits, and inspires her to conquer her pain to get on the board. “Ricochet has taught me to focus on what I can do, rather than what I cant，” she said.One of those who have benefited from Ricochets skills is sixyearold Ian McFarland. In 2008 a car crash left him with brain damage. Although he had loved surfing before the accident, he was too nervous to go back into the water. His fear turned to excitement, when he was told he could try a tandem (双人) surf session with Ricochet. Their session was a success and by the end of it, Ian was smiling from ear to ear. As well as providing treatments, Ricochet also raised 5，000 to help continue Ians recovery.Over the last 10 months, Ricochets excellent performances on the sea have raised more than 30，000 for a number of charity causes (慈善事业)【语篇解读】本文介绍了一只会帮助残障孩子冲浪的小狗。1.

Many British people cannot give the right answers.One in twenty people questioned could not name any of the Britains common trees. Horse chestnut and oak are very common in Britain. Britons can see them everywhere from parks and gardens to the countryside and forests. But 5% of Britons could not name the two types of trees.While older people are more likely than younger adults to name Britains local trees, the knowledge is not being passed down.Over 70% parents say they have never taught their children the names of trees or asked them about what they may have learnt at school or elsewhere.“It is very disappointing to learn that people know very little about British trees，” said one of the researchers.【语篇解读】这是一份调查报告。研究者们经过调查发现很多英国人不认识自己国家常见的树木，尽管年长的人认识的树木比年轻人多，但是这些知识却很少传承下去。5What does this passage mainly talk about?AMany Britons cannot name trees.BA scientific survey.CParents should teach their children.DPeople know very little about Britain.【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章的第一段和最后一段可知，全文主要讲述了很多英国人不认识自己国家的常见树木的事情。【答案】A 6. How many people could not name any of the common trees if 200 people were surveyed?A140. B20.C100. D10.【解析】数字计算题。根据第二段第一句话One in twenty people questioned could not name any of the Britains common trees.可知，1/20的被调查的人说不出任意一种英国常见树木的名字，由此可知，如果被调查的人数是200，那么2001/2010。【答案】D7. We can know from the passage that _Athe ten types of Britains most popular trees can only be seen in the countrysideBhorse chestnut and oak are two kinds of animals seen everywhere in BritainColder people in Britain may know more about the local trees than the younger onesD70% of the people questioned cannot name the ten types of Britains most popular trees【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段可知，尽管年长的人比年轻一些的更有可能认识英国本地的树木，但是这方面的知识并没有传承下去，故C项表述正确。根据第二段可知A、B两项表述错误，而D项中的数字并不是不认识十种最常见树木的人所占的比例。【答案】C8. This passage may be taken from_Aa newspaper Ba dictionaryCa scientific report Da textbook【解析】推理判断题。这篇文章是有关社会调查 的，可能会出现在报纸上。【答案】ACComputers fight EbolaEbola，a big global health threat, has killed thousands of people in 2014. Do you want to help fight it?Dont worry if you know nothing about medicine. IBM has engineered a way for everyone to join the fightby donating processing time on their personal computers，phones or tablets to researchers.IBM and scientists at the Scripps Research Institute in the US plan to use the power of thousands of small computers to attack tiny pieces of a larger medical puzzle that might otherwise require a supercomputer to solve.“This could let us do in months what it would otherwise take years and years to do” said Erica Ollmann Saphire，a biomedical researcher at Scripps.The idea isnt new. Several universities and institutes have used socalled “distributed computing (分布式计算)” to do research into malaria(疟疾), AIDS, cancer, and environmental issues. In the past 10 years，about 680，000 individuals in 80 countries and regions have taken part in IBMs World Community Grid project, said IBM vice president Stan Litow.Volunteers download a piece of software from the website onto their own computers or mobile devices. While they are checking emails，reading news or taking a break, the software runs to do the assignment.For the Ebola research, volunteers computers have the task of looking at millions of drug molecules (分子) to find out which ones can disable the Ebola virus. Later, volunteers devices send the answers back to the Grid.The free software works on Windows or Mac computers and Android mobile devices. Litow said its designed to only use idle (闲置的)capacity(内存容量) when a device is connected to the Internet. Otherwise it isnt in use，so it wont slow down a computers other functions. On mobile devices, the program only works when the device is charging and connected to WiFi.And when you shut down for the day，your device simply saves its work, then picks up where it left off next time.IBM also promises to respect volunteers privacy and says the software cant access or change any other files on a device.Grid computing helps a lot, especially when there isnt much research funding (经费)“Crowd funding and crowd science give people the opportunity to invest their idle computer hours or a little money, and make a difference，” said Saphire. 【导学号：31530059】【语篇解读】埃博拉病毒在非洲爆发，全球计算机联合攻克难题。9.

You can avoid this by following our simple advice：PRODUCTBefore you look for the cheapest price you need to decide what product you actually want. You can do this by researching online, the easiest way is to Google for different products so that you can decide on what would be best for you.SEARCH & COMPAREYou are now ready to use a comparison website to try and find out the best prices.You should never just use one comparison website, using two or more will give you a balanced view of the market.Comparison websites are necessary.You need to first check out what kind of technology a site uses. Although the idea behind Froogle(now called Google Products) is attractive, the technology it uses is not as advanced as sites such as Kelkoo and Pricerunner.Froogle uses a regular search engine.And dont expect price comparison sites to be a surefire way of getting a bargain. The sites will only show products from companies who pay them. This is not necessarily a bad thingsuppliers value their reputation (名声) and their business relationships.AND SEARCH AGAIN Before you buy you should search the product using a price comparison service, then try again just using a standard search engineit might find the product with a cheaper price.If you use Firefox to surf the web then theres an addon (附加的) tool that you can download which finds the cheapest price for a product for you.It is called the Invisible Hand and it is free to download. For example, if youre shopping online at Amazon, the Invisible Hand will pop up and tell you that it is 56 cheaper at Dixons.The tool will only work when you are looking at products, so it shouldnt disturb your day to day Internet surfing. The addon is supported by wellknown brands (品牌) such as BT, Comet and HMV but obviously it wont search every single site out there, so it is still best to use a comparison site in addition to the tool.【语篇解读】本文作者就怎样能更好地在网上淘到廉价货向我们提出了几条建议。13According to the passage，how to decide what product to buy?ABy shopping online.BBy searching online.CBy looking for the cheapest price.DBy deciding which is best.【解析】细节理解题。由第二段可知“想要决定自己真正想买的东西最容易的方式就是通过Google等搜索引擎在线搜索不同的物品，以便做出最佳的选择”。【答案】B14. We can learn from the passage that _Awe dont need to use two or more comparison websitesBcomparison websites often give us wrong views and choicesCall the search engines are the same advancedDdifferent comparison websites use different technologies【解析】细节理解题。由第三、四段可知A项错在dont need，B项错在wrong，C项错在the same，尤其第四段通过例证说明不同的“比较网站”使用的是不同的搜索引擎技术。【答案】D15. Whats the BEST title of the passage?AHow to Find Perfect Bargains OnlineBHow to Use Search EnginesCDifferent Websites in the WorldDOnline Shoppings Advantage【解析】主旨大意题。由第一段开篇点题和总览全文内容及其结构后可知，本文主要提供了几种建议，以便让读者学会更好地在网上淘到廉价货。故A项最全面最准确。 【答案】A.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)(2016长春十一中高一检测)Does this situation seem familiar(熟悉)to you？Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar，the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently._16_First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language.The most important thing is to listen as often as possible._17_The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com.The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be upset by limited understanding._18_Here is some of the advice I give my students： Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times. Do not translate everything into your native language._19_Dont concentrate on details(细节) before you have understood the main ideas.Listen to something you enjoy.I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didnt understand a word, I kept on translating it in my mind.This method usually resulted in confusion (困惑)_20_Firstly，translating creates a barrier (障碍) between the listener and the speaker.Secondly，most people repeat themselves continuously. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didnt pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.AWhat should you do?BListen for the general idea of the conversation.CBut listening is a problem for most of the beginners!DSo, what you need to do is to find listening resources.EBut you cant follow a native English speaker at all!FThen, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.GHowever, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany. 【导学号：31530060】【答案】1620EDABF.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)Few other nations are so much interested in horse racing as the English.
