2019-2020年高中英语Unit1Art单元质量评估新人教版选修第一部分阅读理解(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。AMusic can make us feel happy or peaceful，energize us to dance，or move us to tears.As an orchestra conductor，Amy Andersson allows people to experience the many feelings that music can inspire.Andersson fell in love with music as a child.She sang in school choirs and musicals starting in first grade，began studying piano at age seven，and started posing at age nine.Although her school district had no orchestra，she says, “I bought many recordings of the worlds great orchestras and conductors and listened to them for hours on end.”During a concert，the audience sees the back of a conductor and the arm movements she or he uses to lead the orchestra.What audiences do not see is all the work the conductor has done beforehand to prepare for the performancefirst alone，and then in rehearsals(排练)with the orchestra.Months before a concert，Andersson studies a piece of music by playing it on the piano.She decides how she wants each section to sound.Shouldnt be fast or slow？Loud or soft？She listens to recordings，reads about the posers life，and reviews historical events that would have influenced the poser.Her goal is to recreate the music as the poser intended.Each instrument contributes unique sounds to a musical performance.Although it is not necessary for conductors to know how to play all of the instruments，they must be familiar with the range and sound of each instrument in the orchestra.To help young musicians understand how to play the music，Andersson might tell them to imagine a ship being tossed(颠簸)by waves.Andersson is happy knowing that she and the musicians have changed lives for the better，uplifted spirits，and brought joy into ordinary days.【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了乐队指挥安德森把音乐带入生活的故事。1As a child，Andersson learned about orchestras from _Astudying pianoBschool teachersCsome musicians Dlistening to recordings解析：细节理解题。由第二段末的“I bought many

fellow astronaut Michael Collins circled the moon in their spaceship，named Columbia.When Armstrong and Aldrin were done with their walk，they returned to the mand module，and back to Earth.That part of the spaceship is on view at the Smithsonians National Air and Space Museum in Washington，D.C.But，if you cannot get to Washington，soon you will be able to see Columbia on your puter or your smartphone.Digital scientists are scanning the inside of Columbia.They are creating an online model，in three dimensions，or“3D” .By looking at these photographs，you will be able to see outer space the way the astronauts did.It will be like sitting in their seats.Want your very own Columbia？You will be able to print a 3D copy of Columbia.Experts say anyone can make a lifesized model.But they expect most people to make smaller models of the 320 cm400 cm(11*13*)mand module.Scientists are using special 3D technology to scan the inside.They use cameras on long arms to take the photographs.The thousands of photographs taken will be bined with 50 laser scans.What would it be like to sit inside Columbia and take a look around？All the images will be loaded into software that allows you to look around the module on a puter screen.The user will be able to see Columbia both inside and out.The Smithsonian says that the 3D technology gives the user ways to see things they cannot see at the museum.And it will give information that even the museum curators(馆长)have not seen before.“With the mand module，no one has been inside since it came into the collection，” says Adam Metallo，Smithsonian 3D imaging specialist.“Now the information we capture can give anyone in the world a view of what it looks like inside this incredible piece of history.” 【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了3D技术的应用使参观哥伦比亚指令舱不再遥远。5The author

wanted to share something that put a smile on my face this morning.You will know what a difference a simple act of kindness makes to a person.My pany ranks in the top 10 among the most diverse (各色各样的) panies in America.With this being the case, a lot of times we run into situations where there is a language impedimentLast week while I was at work, one of my coworkers twisted her wrist while lifting something that might have been too heavy for her.This particular coworker of mine speaks little English and my Spanish needs “much” work.But we have never had a problem with munication.When I ran into her shortly after her injury, I took a look and I knew that a simple first aid routine was in order.With me being an athlete, I knew that a simple procedure called “RICE” (rest, ice, pression, and elevation) was what she needed until she was able to get to the doctor.With little understanding of what I was doing, she trusted that I meant to help.Today she came up to me while I was getting my breakfast, and without a word she hugged me and patted me on my back.When I asked why the wonderful affection，she simply said “thank you for taking care of my arm when I got hurt”She went on to tell me that her doctor told her putting ice on her injury was a good thing but she never would have known to do it.As she was telling me this, I saw how my random act of kindness had had an impact on her.With me just taking an extra minute out of my day to help her, I made a friend.This time I opened my arms and hugged her and I was thankful to have such a moment because you see, this lady has served me breakfast every day for the last four years and I had never exchanged more than greetings and breakfast orders with her.【语篇解读】作者通过自己的经历告诉我们一次不经意的善举可带来巨大的影响。9Why did the authors coworker get hurt in the pany?ABecause she didnt know a knowledge of first aid.BBecause she was too careless when she was working.CBecause she was weak to lift something too heavy.DBecause she had trouble in

coworker hug her and pat her on her back?ABecause she was painful.BBecause she was thankful.CBecause she was hungry.DBecause she was excited.解析：推理判断题。根据文章第五段第二句“When I asked why the wonderful

others makes people happyCThe bridge we were meant to cross easilyDEven a small kindness is never forgotten解析：主旨大意题。文章通过作者的亲身经历，向我们展示了一次不经意的善举所带来的重大影响，因此A项正确。答案：ADThe latest Chinese “god song” (an Internet term to describe pop songs that spread virally through the Internet) is still stirring up fierce debates between those who view it as a milestone for Chinese pop music going global and those who regard it as a bad image of China.Last week, Little Apple, written and performed by Chopsticks Brothers, won the AMA International Song Award and the_duo performed the song at the xx American Music Awards in Los Angeles.Another Chinese pop singer, Zhang Jie, won the International Artist Award.But while fans of these singers are thinking highly of the awards and the performance by Chopsticks Brothers at the AMA celebration, there are others who are less excited.They have questioned the value of the awards and what effects it will have on Chinese cultures “going abroad”， claiming it may leave foreign audiences with a poor impression of Chinese pop music，and even Chinese culture.The Little Apple phenomenon, both home and abroad，can be more easily understood and judged if we look at it from a business perspective rather than a cultural perspective.The professional promoters behind the duo have developed a clear strategy to promote the duo and their works, not just this particular song.Little Apple was originally released to promote the duos film Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon.From the very beginning a viral marketing strategy was used to promote the song, which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm, easytoremember lyrics，simple and funny dance and, most importantly, grass roots nature.The video accumulated more than 1 billion hits on Chinas major video websites.Although the song was generally dismissed by music professionals who criticized it as “musical junk food”， Little Apples popularity nationally paved the way for promoting the duo internationally.【语篇解读】这是一篇新闻报道，主要讨论了网络神曲小苹果所引发的争议。13The writers attitude to the song of Little Apple is _Aopposed BnegativeCobjective Dcritical解析：作者态度题。根据第三段的整体内容可知，文章就人们对网络神曲小苹果的看法进行了正反两方面的客观陈述，即作者对这首歌持客观态度，故选C项。答案：C14What do the underlined words “the duo” in Paragraph 2 refer to?ALittle Apple. BChopsticks Brothers.CZhang Jie. DAmerican singers.解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句“Last week, Little Apple, written and performed by Chopsticks Brothers, won the AMA International Song Award and the duo performed the song at the xx American Music Awards in Los Angeles.”可推知，the duo的意思是“一对表演者”，此处代指小苹果的表演者“筷子兄弟”，故选B项。答案：B15We can learn from the passage that _ALittle Apples popularity is also a success of the marketing strategyBLittle Apple is generally thought worthless by the AMACLittle Apple is really popular with all people in ChinaDLittle Apple was originally released as a pop song on the Internet解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句“From the very beginning a viral marketing strategy was used to promote the song, which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm, easytoremember lyrics，simple and funny dance and, most importantly, grass roots nature.”可推知，小苹果的流行本身就证明了它是一个成功的营销策略，故选A项。答案：A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。Two days before Christmas，I was shopping in a local grocery store.I bought a lot of vegetables and some food for my two children.My cart was full as I entered the checkout lane(付款通道)_16_It was beginning to snow and I found that the lady looked worried._17_ I turned back and insisted she go before me.She was surprised and then she thanked me sincerely.18_ We took advantage of this little time and had a nice chat about kindness.I told her that she seemed close to my mothers age and I hoped that someone would do the same for her.After her goods were tallied(清点)，she was handed a receipt.Her receipt had a message that she would receive a special gift for a child at customer services._19_As I stood there，I felt that there may have been a child that would benefit from that gift in her own family or circle of friends and realized that one act of kindness could have a chain reaction.Had I denied myself that opportunity to practise this random act，I would have received the “free gift” receipt._20_ Furthermore，by allowing myself the opportunity to show generosity，I also received a giftthe satisfaction of helping others.【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。作者在商店排队结账时让一位老妇人优先结账，作者因此感受到了帮助别人的快乐。ASeeing this，she was delighted.BShe thought I was just telling a joke.CBut I knew in my heart that she needed it more.DIt occurred to me that I should do something for her.EThere were still several people waiting in line before us.FA little elderly lady was behind me with a full cart as well.GI was a little worried because I would have to wait for at least ten minutes.16解析：根据下一段中的“I turned back and insisted she go before me”可推测，老妇人本来是排在作者之后的。答案：F17解析：根据本段内容可知，作者“想到要为这位老妇人做些什么事”，因此他让老妇人排到自己前面，优先结账。答案：D18解析：根据本空后一句“We took advantage of this little time and had a nice chat about kindness”可推测，作者和老妇人的前面“仍然有一些人在排队”，所以他们利用等待的时间聊天。答案：E19解析：根据本段内容可知，老妇人幸运地获得了礼品券，因此她应该很“高兴”。答案：A20解析：如果作者不跟老妇人换位置的话，那么获得礼品券的人应该是作者，但是看到老妇人那么高兴，作者“从心里知道她更需要这个礼品券”。答案：C第二部分英语知识运用(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。In an old city of Hungary, there used to be a boy who was very rich and clever but nothing could make him feel happy.He had almost everything a boy could ever want, so he was only _21_ in the most rare objects.One day his parents bought him a very strange _22_When the boy went to see his reflection (影像) in it, he looked very _23_He tried smiling，_24_ his reflection continued with its sad expression.The boy went off to buy sweets and lots of toys._25_，he came home as happy as he could be，but he _26_ looked sad in that mirror, “What a(n) _27_ mirror!
