Unit 7 The sea.阅读理解(共15小题，每小题2分，共30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。ATwo dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park.The smaller dolphin，Grace，shows off a few of her tricks，turning around and waving hello to the crowd.The most amazing thing about her，however，is that shes even swimming at all.She doesnt have a tail.Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap.When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005，she was fighting for her life.“Is she going to make it？” Her trainer，Abbey Stone，feared the worst.Grace did make itbut her tail didnt.She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.Over the past six years，she has learned to swim without her tail.Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down.Grace taught herself to move another waylike a fish！She pushes herself forward through the water by moving her peduncle from side to side.The movements put harmful pressure on Graces backbone.So a company offered to create a manmade tail for her.The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldnt hurt her.The first time Grace wore the artificial tail，she soon shook it off and let it sink to the bottom of the pool.Now，she is still learning to use the tail.Some days she wears it for an hour at a time，others not at all.“The new tail isnt necessary for her to feel comfortable，”says Stone，“but it helps to keep that range of motion(动作)and build muscles(肌肉)”Now，the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending.This month，Grace will star in Dolphin Tale，a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery.Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie.Many people travel from near and far to meet her.Seeing Grace swim with her manmade tail gives people so much courage.【语篇解读】这是一篇关于海豚的故事。讲述的是一只在一次事故中丧失尾巴的海豚。在训导员的训练下，它克服了困难，学会了使用假尾巴，像其他海豚一样在水中遨游。它还成了一部电影中的明星，它的勇气感动了人们。1When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park，her trainer worried about her .Aphysical

least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them，all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year，Ive found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However，people still use their bicycles to get around.For many，its the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colorssilver，green，red，blue，yellow，whatever you want.Its fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads，move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks(人行道)Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just cant provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied(陪伴)my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的)To be safe，I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didnt want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.【语篇解读】中国在过去是自行车的王国，而现在仍然有很多人喜欢骑自行车出行，因为这种交通方式方便、省钱。为了融入这种文化，“我”也买了一辆自行车。但是在回家途中，发现骑车过街是最大的问题，需要时间、技巧和一点儿运气。但是骑行经历让“我”觉得很愉快、很有趣。4According to the author，why are bicycles still popular in China

many，its the easiest and cheapest way to travel today。”可知，自行车如今仍然很受欢迎是因为它的便捷和经济。根据倒数第二段和倒数第三段的叙述可知，骑自行车并不安全，速度也不是很快，故A项和D项错误；文章虽然提到了自行车的颜色多种多样，但这并不是它受欢迎的原因，故C项错误。【答案】B5The author decided to buy a

a sunshade.And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor.In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.And the umbrella was in commonly used in ancient Greece.But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared.Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century.And again it was considered as a symbol of power.By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight.It wasnt until the twentieth century that womens umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of

Apple Month.The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste，a wide variety of apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.Although it doesnt taste of anything special，its still worth a try，as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cats Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but youll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so its a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with applethemed fun and games.Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园)If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale，near Faversham in Kent.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。全文介绍了在苹果节上的各种各样的苹果。虽说是Apple Day，其实该节日持续接近一个月的时间。在这段时间里，我们可以品尝到很多稀有品种的苹果。如果想尝试各种各样的苹果，就来参加Apple Day吧。12What can people do at the apple events?AAttend experts lectures.BVisit fruitloving families.CPlant fruit trees in an orchard.DTaste many kinds of apples.【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see，and often taste，a wide variety of apples.可知，参加苹果节可以看到并经常尝到各种各样的苹果。A项说“参加专家的讲座”，这与倒数第二段中At the events，you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions提到的与专家交流不符，曲解了文意；B项说“参观喜欢水果的家庭”，文中并未提及；C项说“在果园中种植果树”，文章虽然提到可以参观、品尝等体验，但没有提种植果树。【答案】D13What can we learn about Decio?AIt is a new variety.BIt has a strange look.CIt is rarely seen now.DIt has a special taste.【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中的.it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence，such as Decio.is more of a curiosity than anything else.可知，见到它很开阔眼界并且可以与稀奇的Cats Head这一品种类比，由此判断Decio非常稀少。A项说“它是新品种”，这与which was grown by the Romans不符；B项说“它外形奇特”，这指的是Cats Head的特点，犯了张冠李戴的错误；D项说“它有特殊的味道”，这与it doesnt taste of anything special不符。【答案】C14What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean?AA practical idea.BA vain hope.CA brilliant plan.DA selfish desire.【解析】词义理解题。根据本段中的One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette，but youll need a warm，sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it.可知，尽管Orleans Reinette是很好的品种，但是对各项条件的要求很高，因此大多数喜欢它的人种植它的希望会落空。A项说“一个切合实际的想法”，这与它对生存条件要求高矛盾；C项说“一个很好的计划”，根据画线前的描述可知，这是一种希望或梦想；D项说“一个自私的愿望”，这里说的是愿望的可否实现，不是自私与否。【答案】B15What is the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo show how to grow apples.BTo introduce an apple festival.CTo help people select apples.DTo promote apple research.【解析】作者意图题。根据文章第一段中的If you are a fruit groweror would like to become onetake advantage of Apple Day to see whats around.和第二段中的Visiting an apple event.以及后文介绍节日上的各类苹果可知，作者在介绍苹果节。A项“展示如何种植苹果”，C项“帮助人们选苹果”，D项“促进苹果的研究”，均与文章内容不符。【答案】B.阅读填句根据短文内容，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(2016广东梅州高一上期末)How to manage your timeFor many high school students it
