单元综合测评(四).阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AOne of the school days that I remember the best was my first day of school.Being a first grader seemed exciting to me then.I was to study in an allgirls school.My mother sent me to the front door of the classroom before leaving.“I have something to do”， she said.I didnt mind.I didnt want to appear too childish.The classroom held about forty students with room to spare.We sat in groups with the same number of girls in each group.I chose a seat and sat there while waiting for other girls to arrive.It didnt take that long and the other tables were soon full.There wasnt much chatting going on though, it seemed like my classmates were still shy.Who could blame them? It was a truly new environment for us.The girls in my group were also shy and most of them were looking down.Finally, a girl sitting in front of me broke the silenceshe introduced herself as Amanda.She then burst out telling us about her family.The four other girls paid attention to what she said with an occasional nod at times.I lost what she said a few minutes after that.The next thing I knew, she was already talking about her cat.“Do you know its name？” she asked me.I was a little surprised at the sudden question.I thought about it for a while, and then finally answered, “I dont know.It could be anything.” The question was repeated on the other girls but with the same results.Amanda smiled proudly.She was happy that nobody could guess her cats name.【语篇解读】作者第一天上学，大家都很害羞，不好意思开口讲话，这时有一个叫Amanda的女孩打破了沉默1Which of the following about the writer is TRUE according to the passage?AShe went to school on the first day all by herself.BShe didnt seem to like the new school at first.CShe didnt want others to know her name.DShe didnt pay much attention to what Amanda said.【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段开头的“I lost what she said a few minutes after that.”可知，作者并没有注意Amanda说的话。所以选D。【答案】D2The students didnt talk much to each other at first because Athey didnt want to be the first to speakBthey didnt know what to begin withCthey were too shyDthey didnt know each other well【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“The girls in my group were also shy and most of them were looking down.”可知，学生们相互之间交谈不多是因为他们仍然“害羞”。【答案】C3Why did Amanda feel happy?ABecause nobody knew she had a cat at home.BBecause she was the only one who had a cat.CBecause she believed the others would surely like her cat.DBecause nobody could guess her cats name.【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段可知，Amanda很开心是因为没有人能够猜出她的小猫的名字。【答案】D4What can we learn from the passage?AAmanda was the first to speak in her group.BThe writer was the first to enter the classroom.CThe writer was surprised to hear that Amanda had a cat.DNobody in Amandas group wanted to answer her question.【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段的“Finally，a girl sitting in front of me broke the silenceshe introduced herself as Amanda.”可知，在这个组里，Amanda是第一个开始说话的人。【答案】ABDiana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21yearold twin sons：a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing.Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.“I have two kids in college, and I want to say come home, but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education，” says Jacobs.The Jacobs family did work out a solution：They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program.They will each graduate with $20，000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs.More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans.College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time, tuition(学费)continues to rise.A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%.Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we wont have an affordable system of higher education，” says Patrick MCallan, president of the center.“The middle class families have been financing it through debt.They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them.The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.5According to Paragraph 1, why did the plan of Jacobs family fail?AThe twins wasted too much money.BThe father was out of work.CTheir saving ran out.DThe family fell apart.【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“her husband lost his job”可以得出，双胞胎儿子要上学交学费，丈夫失业，家庭陷入困境。【答案】B6How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?AThey asked their kids to come home.BThey borrowed $ 20，000 from the school.CThey encouraged their twin sons to do parttime jobs.DThey got help from the school and the federal government.【解析】细节理解题。由文章第三段的“The Jacobs family did work out a solution：They asked and received more aid from the schools，and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan(贷款)program.”可以得出答案。【答案】D7Financial aid administrators believe that Amore families will face the same problem as the JacobsBthe government will receive more letters of complaintCcollege tuition fees will double soonDAmericas unemployment will fall【解析】细节理解题。由文章第四段的“With unemployment rising，financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs.”可知答案。【答案】A8What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?AThey blamed the government for the tuition increase.BTheir income remained steady in the last decade.CThey will try their best to send kids to college.DTheir debts will be paid off within 25 years.【解析】推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段的“The middle class families have been financing it through debt.They will send kids to college whatever it takes，even if that means a huge amount of debt.”可以得出答案。【答案】CCHeres something you dont see every daya runaway horse and zebra on the street of Staten Island.The two escaped from a petting zoo, where they had perhaps got tired of too many unpleasant children before running away.When they were running in the Travis neighborhood on Wednesday morning, they were filmed (拍摄) by Zachary Osher.He is the owner of Metropolitan Drape and Blind.Osher shared his video with the Staten Island Advocate.The witness watched the unusual event accidently，first spotting the odd couple out the window of his store at 9：20 am.He ran outside with his phone to get a picture.He told Yahoo News on the phone, “The horse was leading the zebra.Everywhere the horse would turn, the zehra would follow.” Osher was amazed at the sight, saying, “I couldnt figure out what it wasa zebra.A horse maybe, but a zebra? Where did the zebra come from？” He added that he only learned later from reporters that a petting zoo was nearby.The pair ran around in the parking lot, running back toward Osher, which was when he got his chance to film them with his digital camera.Osher added that he tried to stop them so they wouldnt run into the street, but they did so anyway, and narrowly missed being hit by a car.Far behind them were two men in blue jump suits and hats and they were trying to get them.The story ends with the safe capture of the two escapees, who were returned to the petting zoo up the street, according to the New York Times.Undoubtedly，the two fleetfooted troublemakers are planning their next adventure.【语篇解读】一匹马和一匹斑马从动物园里跑了出来，在街上横冲直撞，引起了人们的围观。9The writer thinks that the horse and the zebra escaped probably because Athey were treated badly by workers in the petting zooBthey were interested in the life outside the petting zooCthey could no longer stand the unpleasant childrenDthey could no longer bear the hard work in the petting zoo【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“The two escaped from a petting zoo，where they had perhaps got tired of too many unpleasant children before running away.”可知，一匹斑马和一匹马跑出来可能是因为无法忍受淘气的孩子们。【答案】C10Why did Zachary Osher run out with his phone?ATo make a movie about the two animals.BTo take a picture of the two animals.CTo get in touch with the petting zoo.DTo call people to work for Yahoo News.【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“He ran outside with his phone to get a picture.”可知，Osher跟出来是为了用手机拍照。【答案】B11Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 4?AOsher drove the horse and the zebra to the street.BThe horse and the zebra were almost hit by a car.COsher didnt follow the horse or the zebra to the street.DNobody tried to catch the horse and the zebra on the street.【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第四段的“but they did so anyway，and narrowly missed being hit by a car”可知这两只动物差点被一辆小汽车撞了。【答案】B12What would be the best title for the passage?AA horse and a zebra caused a car accidentBA horse and a zebra took a walk on the streetCA horse and a zebra escaped from a petting zooDA horse and a zebra were sent to a petting zoo【解析】标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要是讲一匹马和一匹斑马从动物园跑了出来。【答案】CDEnrich your knowledge about Mexico with eBooks.We offer a range of selected titles, many of which cannot be found elsewhere.With eBooks, you can
