单元综合测评2.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) AThe Man Who Never Put a Foot WrongSome people do not like anything to be out of place: they are never late for work, they return their books to the library on time, they remember peoples birthdays, and they pay their bills as soon as they arrive.Mr.Dodds is such a person.Mr.Dodds works in a bank, and lives on his own.The only family he has is in the next town: his sister lives there with her husband, and her son, Mark.Mr.Dodds does not see his sister, or her family, from one year to the next，but he sends them Christmas cards，and he has not forgotten one of Marks birthdays.Last week Mr.Dodds had quite a surprise.He drove home from the bank at the usual time, driving neither too slowly nor too fast.He parked his car where he always parked it, out of the way of other cars, and he went inside to make his evening meal.Straight away, there was a knock at the door.Mr.Dodds opened the door to find a policeman standing on the doorstep.“What have I done wrong？” Mr.Dodds asked himself.“Have I driven on the wrong side of the road? Has there been some trouble at the bank? Have I forgotten to pay an important bill？”“Hello, Uncle，” said the policeman.“My name is Mark.”【语篇解读】Mr.Dodds是一个循规蹈矩的人，他从不去探望自己的姐姐一家，但每年都给他们邮寄礼物。有一天一位警察来到Mr.Dodds的家，Mr.Dodds不知道自己犯了什么错误，原来是他的侄子来看望他。1From the passage we know that his sister_.Alives in the next town with her husband and

language pollution whenever you open a newspaper or turn on your TV set, listen to a popular song at various advertisements.Language pollution exists almost everywhere and can be seen in the following places：1Chinese character are written in the complex form.Although simplified Chinese characters were accepted for use many years ago, it seems that more and more people like Chinese characters written in the complex form.2Many goods are produced in China but carry foreign names, which sound strange and have no meaning at all.3Words and expressions being used have a bad meaning.“Ba”(霸), which means bully in Chinese, is one example.Now there are a lot of goods, restaurants, even factories or firms, with “Ba”in their names.4There are too many incorrect grammatical expressions.Some films have strange names and incorrect grammatical structures.“Ai ni mei shang liang”， which means “I love you without consulting”， is grammatically incorrect and this kind of expression is now becoming popular.Some language experts point out that language pollution must be done_away_with，which is an idea shared by many others and myself.【语篇解读】每当你打开报纸、电视、收听音乐的时候，你都会感受到语言污染。5The writer of the

warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good nights sleep.But now a study has found it really does help people nod offif it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin (褪黑激素)，which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study，by researchers from Seoul，South Korea，involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk，which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin，were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime，according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now，taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content，which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugarfree and additivefree with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening.The more fat you take in before bedtime，the greater burden you will put on your body at night.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。长期以来，人们认为睡觉前喝一杯热牛奶有助于睡眠，但研究表明，只有喝晚上挤的牛奶才真正有助于睡眠。这到底是什么原因呢？快来读文章吧！9According to the text，the mice fed with daytime milk _.Astarted sleep more easilyBwere more anxiousCwere less activeDwoke up later【解析】细节理解题。由第四段中的信息Those given night milk.were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime.可知，老鼠喝了白天挤的牛奶会更有活力，也更焦虑，故选B项。【答案】B10Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?AIts been tested on mice for ten times.BIt can make people more energetic.CIt exists in milk in great amount.DIts used in sleeping drugs.【解析】推理判断题。文章中提到晚上挤的牛奶的褪黑激素含量是白天挤的牛奶的10倍，并不是说研究人员在老鼠身上测试了10次，所以A项错误；由第二段中的信息.help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.可知褪黑激素不可能使人更加精力充沛，故排除B项；由第二段中的信息.“night milk”contains more melatonin.可知，并不是所有的牛奶中都含有大量的褪黑激素，故排除C项；由第六段中的信息taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night可知，褪黑激素被用于安眠药中，故D项正确。【答案】D11What can be a suitable title for the text?ANight Milk and SleepBFat，Sugar and HealthCAn Experiment on MiceDMilk Drinking and Health【解析】标题归纳题。作者在第一段就点明了文章要论述的对象晚上挤的牛奶。在接下来的几段中，作者通过研究人员在老鼠身上做的实验论证了晚上挤出的牛奶与睡眠的关系，所以最适合作文章标题的是A项。B项意为“脂肪、糖与健康”，C项意为“在老鼠身上做的一个实验”，D项意为“牛奶饮用与健康”，均与文章的主旨不符。【答案】A12How does the author support the theme of the text?ABy giving examples.BBy stating arguments.CBy explaining statistical data.DBy providing research results.【解析】推理判断题。文章的第二、三、四、五段都是讲研究人员的实验及其结果，所以作者是用研究人员的研究结果来支持论点的。文章中没有给出具体的例子，没有单纯地陈述论点，也没有解释统计数据，所以排除A、B、C三项，选D项。【答案】DDOur brains work in complex and strange ways.There are some people who can calculate the day of the week for any given date in 40,000 years, but who cannot add two plus two.Others can perform complex classical piano pieces after hearing them once, but they cannot read or write.Dr.J.Langdon Down first described this condition in 1887.He called these people idiot savants.An idiot savant is a person who has significant mental injury, such as in autism (自闭症) or retardation.At the same time, the person also exhibits some extraordinary skills, which are unusual for most people.The skills of the savant may vary from being exceptionally gifted in music or in mathematics, or having a photographic memory.One of the first descriptions of a human who could calculate quickly was written in 1789 by Dr.Benjamin Rush, an American doctor.His patient, Thomas Fuller, was brought to Virginia as a slave in 1724.It took Thomas only 90 seconds to work out that a man who has lived 70 years, 17 days, and 12 hours has lived 2,210,500,800 seconds.Despite this ability, he died in 1790 without ever learning to read or write.Another idiot savant slave became famous as a pianist in the 1860s.Blind Tom had a vocabulary of only 100 words, but he played 5,000 musical pieces beautifully.In the excellent movie Rain Man, made in 1988 and available on video cassette, Dustin Hoffman plays an idiot savant who amazes his brother played by Tom Cruise, with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly.Today we more clearly recognize that the idiot savant is special because of brain impairment.Yet not all brain injury leads to savant skills.Some studies have shown that people who have purposeful interruption of the left side of the brain can develop idiot savant skills.However few people wish to participate in such experiments.There are many excellent reasons for not undergoing unnecessary experimentation on ones brain.The term idiot savant is outdated and inappropriate.Virtually all savants have a high degree of intelligence and are thus not idiots.【语篇解读】有些人可以说出4,000年中的任何一天是星期几却不能说出2加2等于几，而有些人在仅听一次之后能弹出复杂的经典钢琴曲，但却不会读写。这些人被叫做“低能特才”，他们有心理缺陷但在某些方面却有特殊的才能。13What does the passage mainly talk about?AIdiot savants have areas of outstanding abilities.BHuman beings have complicated thinking process.CThe brains of the idiot savants are partly impaired.DThe reasons why people have wonderful skills vary.【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文可以看出文章是围绕“idiot savants”展开的，并举了几个具有特殊才能的低能特才的例子，可知A项符合文章大意。【答案】A14Which of the following can be done by Rain Man?AHe can play wonderful pieces of classical music.BHe can guess out exactly the length of a mans life.CHe can memorize the contents of the pictures fast.DHe can count matches dropped on the floor quickly.【解析】判断推理题。根据文章倒数第二段的“with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly”可知Rain Man具有快速进行复杂计算的能力。故D项符合说明。【答案】D15What can you infer from the passage?AIdiot savants have real talents for art and math.BDr.Down is the first person who found idiot savants.CFew people wish to risk becoming savants by brain operations.DIntentional left brain impairments will surely lead to idiot savants.【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However few people wish to participate in such experiments.”可知很少有人愿意通过手术变成低能特才的人。【答案】C.阅读填句(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。(2016河北省成安市高二年级考试)Have you fallen into a pattern of sleeping poorly？_16_ Getting a good night

day.While every meal counts, the facts are on the table: eating in the morning has positive effects on health and on kids 41._(able) to learn.Whats a nutritious breakfast? A meal 42._(consist) of foods from at least two of the five food groups is the healthiest，43._ the truth is that nosh (小吃) of nearly any food in the morning is better than none, especially when it comes 44._ kids.Its a good idea to get your child into the habit of eating breakfast before he begins kindergarten.Thats 45._ youngsters who eat breakfast tend to behave better in school.Hunger makes it harder 46._(keep) your mind focused on learning, no matter what your age.In fact, studies show breakfast skippers are often more badtempered and have shorter attention.When you forget eating in the morning, blood glucose(血糖) drops.Glucose is the fuel cells need to function, so brain cells become particularly lazy when glucose concentrations are insufficient.Without adequate energy, your minds get gray, blocking concentration and memory.Without 47._ morning meal, kids are hardpressed to meet 48._(day) nutrient needs, too.Youre 49._(probable) pressed for time in the morning, and so 50._(be) your children.41ability形容词able的名词是ability能力，本句中物主代词kids后面要接名词充当宾语。42consisting动词短语consist of由组成，该短语没有被动语态，也没有进行时。本句中和meal构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词短语充当定语修饰名词meal。43but上下文之间为转折关系，所以使用but连接这两句话。44to句式when it comes to sth.当谈及；当涉及。45because句意：在上幼儿园之前让孩子养成吃早饭的习惯是一个很好的主意，那是因为吃早饭的孩子在学校里表现得更好。46to keep本句中it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式结构。47the名词meal前面有morning修饰，表示特指，故前面要加the。48daily横线后面有名词needs，所以需要使用形容词daily来修饰。49probably本句中副词probably充当状语修饰谓语be pressed。50are本句属于倒装句，表示前面的肯定情况适用于另外一人，后句的谓语动词要和前句一样，本题中前面是系动词are，所以后面也应该使用系动词。.短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)假如英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌的以下作文。文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号，并在此符号下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线划掉。修改：在错词下面划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2只允许修改10处，多者从第11处不计分。What I am actually eager to do is being a responsible person.I used to thinking it was so hard to grow up into a responsible member of our society.Besides, it was an accident happening in a snowy morning that changed my attitude .I was on the way to school and was waiting for the green light with my classmate John while a girl was knocked down by passing car.Without hesitation we ran to her and gave her first aid the instant when we saw it.Soon many help was given to him by the people nea
