2019-2020年高中英语Unit2Englisharoundtheworld单元检测新人教版一、阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分)When I was sixteen years old,I made my first visit to the United States.It wasnt the first time I had been abroad.Like most English children I learned French at school.And I had often been to France,so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didnt understand English.But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.How wrong I was!The misunderstandings began at the airport.I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Danny a call and tell her that I had arrived.A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.“Yes,” I said,“I want to give my friend a ring.”“Well,thats nice,” he said,“Are you getting married?But arent you a bit young?”“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied,“I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her Ive arrived.Can you tell me where theres a phone box?”“Oh!” he said,“Theres a phone downstairs.” When at last we met,Danny explained the misunderstandings to me.“Dont worry,” she said to me.“I had so many difficulties at first.There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British.Youll soon get used to all the funny things they say.Most of the time,British and American people understand each other!”1Where was the writer from?A.He was from America.B.He was from France.C.He was from England.D.He was from China.答案C解析根据首段中的“Like most English children I learned French at school.”可知,作者是英国人。2The writer thought in America.A.he would not have any language difficultiesB.he would not understand the AmericansC.the Americans might not understand himD.he would have difficulties at the airport答案A解析根据首段末句中的“.I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.”可知,作者认为去美国不会遇到任何语言障碍。3The writer wanted to .A.buy a ring for his friendB.make a call to his friendC.go to the telephone panyD.see a friend off答案B解析作者说“give my friend a ring”意为“想给朋友打电话”,而不是“给朋友一枚戒指”,结合后文提到的“to tell her Ive arrived”可确定,作者想给丹妮打电话,告诉她,自己已经到了,因此B项为答案。4In the last paragraph the word “they” refers to .A.the old man and the boyB.the AmericansC.the BritishD.the French答案B解析根据末段中“Youll soon get used to all the funny things they say.”可知,由于作者是英国人,所以此处的they应指的是“美国人”。BMost Chinese people these days know what it is like to have an “English teacher”,since almost all pupils study English from their third year.Usually that first English teacher will be a young and lovely lady in primary school.But my first English teacher is none other than my father.Looking back,I can see that,when I was only a little girl,he created an English environment by providing me with flashcards,fun English-language toys and even dolls which can sing English songs!My interest in English had certainly been awakened(唤起)when I began to learn English at school.Just imagine,he went a step further and asked me to learn New Concept English by myself!I was confused and even angry.I could not understand why a father could be so strict with his little girl.All the same,he never gave up and he gently insisted that I follow his ideas.At first,I read stories with tears in my eyes and I actually hated them because they were too difficult for me.In the end,I came to love the funny stories and,to be honest,my father was always there with a helping hand.I am sure that my English would never have got so far without his support.And thats why my father is not only my first English teacher but also my lifelong teacher.He is the one who awoke my interest,who gave me confidence and who offered me much needed help.5Most pupils in China begin to learn English .A.in primary schoolB.from parentsC.at three years oldD.at home答案A解析根据文章前两句内容可知,在中国,大多数学生在三年级时开始在学校学习英语。6From the whole passage we can see that .A.the girl preferred playing to learning EnglishB.the girl hated her father because he was strictC.the girl was very thankful to her fatherD.the father gave up after knowing his daughter could not understand him答案C解析根据文章内容中描述的作者的父亲对她在学习英语上提供的指导和帮助以及作者的感慨“I am sure that my English would never have got so far without his support.”可知,作者很感激自己的父亲。7Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.The girls father is her first English teacher.B.The girl had been interested in English before going to school.C.The girls father was always ready to help her with her English.D.The girl could have learned English well by herself without her father.答案D解析整篇文章的中心内容就是讲述父亲在学习英语上对自己的指导和帮助,由此推知D项“没有她父亲,小女孩的英语自己能够学得很好”这种观点是错误的。8What would be the best title for the passage?A.How I learned English at schoolB.My fathermy father and lifelong English teacherC.The relationship between my father and meD.Ive made progress in English learning答案B解析文章讲述了自己的第一位英语老师,也就是自己的父亲对自己在英语学习方面的指导和帮助,并且作者感慨道:my father is not only my first English teacher but also my lifelong teacher,可知B项作为题目最能体现文章的中心和主题。CDo you love holidays but hate the increase weight that follows?You are not alone.Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods.Many people,however,are worried about the weight that es along with the delicious foods.With proper planning,though,it is possible to control your weight.The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much.You dont have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy.The following suggestions may be of some help to you.Do not miss meals.Before you leave home for a feast,have a small,low-fat snack.This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods.Begin with clear soup,fruit or vegetables.A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full.Use a small plate;a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.Better not have high-fat foods.Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.Choose lean meat.Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.If you have a sweet tooth,try mints and fruit.They dont have fat content as cream and chocolate.Dont let exercise take a break during the holidays.A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess calories.9Holidays are happy days with pleasure but they may.A.bring weight problemsB.bring you much trouble in your lifeC.make you worry about your foodsD.make you hate delicious foods答案A解析文章第一句话就指出,“你是否热爱假期而又憎恶随之而来的体重增加的问题呢?”第二段第二句话又提到,“然而,很多人都担心美食带来的体重问题。”B项“给你的生活带来很多麻烦”,文章中没有提到;C项“使你担心你的食物问题”,D项“使你憎恶美食”,曲解了文章意思。10In order to really enjoy your holidays without putting on weight,youd better.A.drink much water and have vegetables onlyB.not eat much food in high fatC.not accept invitations to feastsD.turn away from delicious foods答案B解析文章第五段,“先喝点清汤,吃点水果或蔬菜。吃饭前喝一大杯水或许会使你觉得吃饱了。”但这并不意味着只喝清水吃蔬菜,所以A项表述有误;文章第四段第二句话,“你离开家去赴宴前,先少吃点儿低脂肪的小吃”,可见,作者并不反对假期的宴会,所以C项不符合文章意思;文章第三段第三句话,“你不必拒绝你喜欢的食物”,所以,D项“拒绝美食”不符合文章意思;文章第六段“最好不要吃高脂肪的食物”,所以B项符合文章意思。11According to the passage, is a necessary part to stop you from putting on weight.A.clear soupB.waterC.calories of energyD.physical exercise答案D解析文章最后一段,“在整个假期中,你都不能停止锻炼”,可见,要防止增肥,体育锻炼是必要的。A项“清汤”;B项“水”;C项“能量”,都不符合题意。12Many people cant help putting on weight after the holidays because they.A.cant control themselvesB.go to too many feastsC.enjoy delicious foodsD.cant help turning away from the foods答案A解析文章第四段最后一句话,“这可能对于避免你见到美食太过兴奋有所帮助。”可见,大多数人在假期里发胖,是因为自己抵制不住美食的诱惑。B项“去参加太多的宴会”,文章中没有提到;C项“享受美食”并不一定就导致“人们发胖”,关键是人们自己的做法;D项“禁不住要拒绝美食”与题意相反。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。(xx全国高考)Lots
