Unit 3 A taste of English humour第卷第一部分听力(略)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。AThe influence of America is increasing in my country.Spanish people drink Coca Cola，wear blue jeans，watch Hollywood movies，listen to American music，and eat fast food，and they do these things every day.I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies.Most of the programs and documentaries (纪录片) we watch on TV are from America，and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood.In the last few years，the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies.Now，in our cinemas，at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe.American culture is a part of Spanish life now.Its certain that many things from America are as much a part of peoples lives as Spanish things.For example，Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product.Ive known about Coca Cola for my whole life.However，its different with Western fast food.For example，I dont think McDonalds is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries.In my opinion，one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people.The Spanish people normally eat at home.On the other hand，maybe McDonalds hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas.Its true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonalds，and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults.In any case，its obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day.21.From the first paragraph we can know that .A.the influence of America on Spain can be found everywhereB.most Spanish people dont like to listen to their own musicC.fast food spreads from Spain to the United StatesD.some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills答案A解析推理判断题。根据文章第一段可知，西班牙人喝可乐，穿牛仔裤，看好莱坞电影，听美国音乐，吃快餐，并且他们每天都做这些事情，由此推断出美国对西班牙的影响到处可见。故选A。22.What plays an important part in the spreading of American culture in Spain?A.American novels.

give less homework; shorten the school day.On Tuesday，in a room filled with teachers，principals，professors，schoolboard members and policy makers，Sahlberg joked about the Finns reputation(名声) for being a quiet，humble people.“When Finland hit the top of the PISA，” he said，“the biggest disbelievers were Finns.”More seriously，Finland never set out to create the worlds top school system.Instead，he said，the country decided in the 1970s that it wanted to ensure that a students success didnt depend on family background.“Finland relied on cooperation among teachers and schools，rather than on competition.Rather than judging teachers and schools based on test scores，” he said，“Finland puts trust in its teachers and principals.Teachers develop the curriculum in Finland，and design their own tests.There are no national tests，except one at the end of high school.”Thats just the start.Along with a shorter school day，Finnish students dont even start school until they are 7 years old.Many primary schools have a policy against giving homework.“But Finland，” he said，“succeeded in part by adopting ideas from the U.S.and other countries.And those countries，”he said，“can learn from Finland，too.”29.What might be the authors purpose of writing the passage?A.To introduce a Finnish official.B.To compare the education systems of Finland and the U.S.C.To share the story of Finlands success in education.D.To ask the U.S.to improve its education.答案C解析写作意图题。根据第一段第二句“Today，Finland is still small but no one calls Finlands public schools mediocre any more.”并结合全文可知，作者主要讲述芬兰学校教育的成功做法，旨在和大家分享，故选C。30.People first learned Finlands success in education from .A.its students performance in an international examB.its international exchange programsC.lectures given by Pasi SahlbergD.its smallsized public schools答案A解析推理判断题。根据第二段首句“In 2000，the Finns surprised the world when their 15yearolds scored at the top of a closely watched international exam called the PISA.”可知，芬兰的学生在国际考试中的出色表现让人们首次见识了芬兰学校教育的成功，故选A。31.Which of the following can contribute to Finlands success in education?a.Giving students fewer tests.b.Giving teachers more trust.c.Evaluating students family backgrounds.d.Creating the worlds top school system.e.Starting school late.A.a，b，c B.c，d，eC.a，b，e D.b，c，d答案C解析细节理解题。第四段的“Stop testing so much，trust teachers more”与a和b对应；根据第六段的“.Finland never set out to create the worlds top school system.” “.a students success didnt depend on family background.”可知c和d不正确；第八段的“.Finnish students dont even start school until they are 7 years old.”与e对应，故选C。32.What Pasi Sahlerg said in Paragraph 7 suggested that .A.children should start school as early as possibleB.competition among teachers might be harmful to educationC.the US education system is still the most advancedD.its necessary to set up a national curriculum答案B解析推理判断题。根据第七段的“Finland relied on cooperation among teachers and schools，rather than on competition.Rather than judging teachers and schools based on test scores.”可知，芬兰的教育依靠的是教师和学校之间的合作，而非竞争。故选B。DAn artist who had painted many pictures of great beauty found that he had not yet painted the one “real” picture.In his search along a dusty road，he met an aged priest who asked him where he was going.“I do not know，” said the artist，“I want to paint the most beautiful thing in the world .Perhaps you can direct me to it.”“How simple，” replied the priest，“in any church or creed，you will find itfaith(信仰) is the most beautiful thing in the world.”The artist traveled on.Later，he met a young bride who told him that the most beautiful thing in the world is：“love”.“Love” makes the world go round.It builds poverty into riches，sweetens tears and makes much of little.Without love there is no beauty.Still the artist continued his search and met a weary soldier.The artist asked him the same question and the soldier answered，“Peace is the most beautiful thing in the world.War is ugly and wherever you find peace，youll find beauty，faith and love.”“How can I paint themFaith，Love and Peace？” thought the artist.As he resumed his walk，his mind wondered on the “real ” picture he hoped to paint.He was surprised that without thinking where he was going，he had reached his familiar surrounding.As he entered the doorway，light glistened in his eyes and he realized that his search was over.In the faces of his wife and children，he saw love and faith.“Not a minute passed by that our children and I had not thought of you.We prayed that you would return to us safely，” his wife said as they embraced him.He sat on his favorite old chair and his heart was at peace.The artist painted the most beautiful thing in the world and called it “HOME”.33.In a brides eyes，what is the most beautiful?A.Home. B.Love.C.Peace. D.Faith.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“Later，he met a young bride who told him that the most beautiful thing in the world is：love.”可知，在新娘看来，爱是最美的。故选B。34.What can we learn about beauty?A.Beauty changes over time.B.Beauty can not be found.C.Beauty can not be painted.D.Beauty changes from people.答案D解析推理判断题。根据文章的内容，一个艺术家在寻找最美的东西，他遇到了牧师，新娘和士兵，他们说的最美的东西都是不一样的，因此美是因人而异的。故选D。35.Whats the best title of the text?A.Beauty B.FaithC.Home D.Peace答案C解析标题归纳题。根据文章的内容尤其是最后一段可知，一个艺术家在寻找最美的东西，最后他在家里找到了。故选C。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。Do you want to be at the top of your class？Add these tips to your life and you should be on your way to being a top student. 36 I cannot stress how important it is to pay attention to what your teacher teaching you.Take part in class discussions if you have something worthwhile to add.Pay attention during class，especially during lectures.Taking notes is important.You dont need to write down every word your teacher says but write down what he/she writes on the board，or any special fact you think you might need for a test. 37 This way it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about what you are writing.Dont skip school.You will missing out on stuff. 38 However，you will have more work and you have missed lectures and inclass movies.Also，try not to be late for class.Its most likely that your teachers wont appreciate it and you will get yourself behind. 39 If you have an “I dont care about school or this class” attitude，then teachers will be less willing to help you with problem or offer you extra credit.The same goes for lazy attitude.Have a respectful attitude to the teacher and other students.Try not to laugh when other students make a mistake.Always ask questions. 40 If you dont understand，ask someone.Read your textbook and notes，and then if that fails，seek help.Ask a teacher，friend，classmate，parent，ect.Get a tutor if you need one.A.Be prepared.B.It is true that you could make up the work.C.Write in your own words.D.Staying organized will be helpful.E.Pay attention to everything the teacher says.F.There is no shame in needing some help.G.Keep a good attitude toward things.答案36.E37.C38.B39.G40.F第三部分英语知识运用(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。LeBron James isnt the first high school basketball player to go straight into the NBA，but hes probably the best.He has the body，skills and the basketball brain of an AllStar.This 41 was 42 as he scored 41 points to take Cleveland Cavaliers(克里夫兰骑士队) to a 107104 win over the New Jersey Nets(新泽西网队) on March 28.Aged of 19 years and 87 days，James became the 43 player to score 40 or more in the NBA.“It was by far James best 44 ，” said Cleveland coach Paul Silas.Known to his friends 45 “the king”，this was the day James earned his crown.But he was 46 from being a king during his childhood spent in the back streets of Akron，Ohio. 47 many other AfricanAmerican basketball players，James early years were a 48 .His mother Gloria was just 16 when she gave birth to him;
