2019-2020年高中英语Unit3Underthesea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。In the 19th century Americans from the eastern states moved out west to settle in the rich new land along the Pacific Coast.The most difficult part of their trip was crossing the “Great American Desert” in the western part of the United States.The western desert can be very dangerous.There is little water and there are few trees.But the desert also has scenery of great beauty.Tall towers of red and yellow stones rise sharply from the flat，sandy valley floor.At Lake Powell，the red stone arch (弓形) of Rainbow Bridge rises high above the blue lake.Many areas of Lake Powells shore can only be reached by boat or on foot.But hikers sometimes find very old native American pictures，painted on the rocks.In Death Valley，California，the summer temperature rises to 130165 degrees Fahrenheit.There is less than two inches of rain each year.In the 1800s，many travellers died when they tried to cross this waterless valley in the terrible heat.Although the desert is dry and seems empty，there is plenty of life if you look closely.Small insects，snakes，and rats have learned to live underground and e out at night when it is cool.Plants like cacti (仙人掌) which need very little water live here.When it rains，such plants grow quickly，and flowers open in a single day.For a short time，the desert is covered with brilliant colours.Modern visitors to the Great American Desert dont have the same problems as early travellers had.They have air conditioning and can carry plenty of water in their cars.They enjoy the change from the crowded city.And there is nothing more beautiful than the colour of a desert sunset.【语篇解读】介绍了美国大沙漠的情况。虽然干旱少雨，但是却也有生命存在。1In the 19th century，when the Americans moved from the east to the west，they must go through _Athe fortable Pacific CoastBthe attractive sceneryCthe suitable placeDthe terrible desert解析：推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句和第二段第一句可知，他们必须穿越一个条件很恶劣的沙漠。答案：D2The fifth paragraph mainly tells us that _Aonly those plants which need no water can live in the dry landBalthough the desert is very dry，therere still some animals and plants in the desertCit rains once or twice each year averagely in the desertDtravellers can often see that the desert is covered with brilliant colours解析：段落大意题。文章第五段主要讲了尽管沙漠干旱，但总有一些动植物生长在那里。答案：B3Which of the following can be learned from the passage?AThere are many kinds of wildlife in Death Valley.BTravellers may possibly see some pictures at Lake Powell.CThe temperature is always 130165 degrees Fahrenheit in Death Valley.DRats can live in the desert and e out even at hot nights.解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句可知，游人有时在鲍威尔湖的岩石上能够看到古老的美国土著画。答案：B4Which of the following is NOT a feature of Death Valley?AHot.BDeadly.CWaterless. DLifeless.解析：推理判断题。根据第四段对死亡谷的描述可知A、B、C三项在文中均提到了。在第五段中也提到这里虽然干旱、少雨，但还是有一些植物生长在这里，因此lifeless(无生命的)不是死亡谷的特征。答案：DBAfter giving a talk at a high school，I was asked to pay a visit to a special student.An illness had kept the boy home，but he had expressed an interest in meeting me.I was told it would mean a great deal to him，so I agreed.During the ninemile drive to his home，I found out something about Matthew.He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症)When he was born，the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five，and then they were told he would not make it to ten.Now he was thirteen.He wanted to meet me because I was a goldmedal power lifter，and I knew about overing obstacles and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew.Never_once did_he plain or_ask，“Why_me？” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams.Obviously，he knew what he was talking about.He didnt mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different.He just talked about his hopes for the future，and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me.When we finished talking，I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck.I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overing obstacles than I ever would.He looked at it for a moment，then took it off and handed it back to me.He said，“You are a champion.You earned that medal.Some day when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal，I will show it to you.”Last summer I received a letter from Matthews parents telling me that Matthew had passed away.They wanted me to read a letter he had written to me a few days before：Dear Dick，My mum said I should send you a thankyou letter for the picture you sent me.I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I dont have long to live any more，but I still smile as much as I can.I told you some day that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal，but I know now I will never get to do that.However，I know Im a champion，and God knows that too.When I get to Heaven，God will give me my medal and when you get there，I will show it to you.Thank you for loving me.Your friend，Matthew【语篇解读】作者去拜访一个身体残疾，但是对生活充满了美好愿望的男孩。5The boy looked forward to meeting the author because _Ahe was also good at weight liftingBhe wanted to get to the Olympics and win a medalChe was one of the authors friendsDhe admired the author very much解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的最后一句可知，马修非常钦佩作者本人。答案：D6The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably means that the boy never plained _Aabout how unlucky he was to have this diseaseBabout not being able to go to schoolCwhy the author had never e to see him beforeDabout not getting a medal解析：细节理解题。从第三段的内容可知，马修一直向往着成功，与作者谈论的都是关于如何成功的，而从来没有抱怨过得这种病的人为什么是他。答案：A7From the passage we learn that _AMatthew was an athleteBMatthew was an optimistic and determined boyCthe author used to have the same disease as Matthew hadDMatthew became a champion in Olympics解析：推理判断题。本文主要是想向大家介绍一个身残志坚、积极乐观的小男孩。答案：BCSpinning (动感单车) was created by worldclass cyclist Jonathan Goldberg as a convenient and quick way to train for races.In 1989，he and John Baudhuin opened the first spinning centre in Santa Monica，California and then developed a programme to certify (授予合格证书) other spinning instructors.Curious to know about this spinning thing? The following information will help you decide if its for you.Spinning is an aerobic (有氧的) exercise that takes place on a specially designed stationary (固定的) bicycle called a spinning bike.As you pedal，music plays and the instructor talks you through an imagination of an outdoor cycling workout：“Youre going up a long hill now.” During the class you vary your pacesometimes pedaling as fast as you can，other times pedaling slowly from a standing position.Spinning burns serious calories and makes your heart pump fast.It also strengthens your muscles.Although you follow the general instructions of the spinning teacher，you are in control when it es to your pace.You can finish a spin class，regardless of your pace.You can finish a spin class，regardless of your fitness level simply by adjusting your pace.Equipment needed：Other than the bike，heres what you need for a safe，fortable ride：A pair of fortable shoes.Two towels，one for wiping away sweat and one for covering the handlebars so your hands wont slide out of position.A full water bottle，because youre going to sweat.Most spinning bikes are equipped with a water bottle cage so you can place your water within easy reach.Hot Tip：Arrive five minutes early for your first class so your instructor can answer any questions and help you with bike adjustments.Make sure you let him/her know about any injuries that you have so he/she can help you change some of the moves.During class，be sure to let your instructor know if you are having trouble with the general technique.If the class is too hard，just pedal more slowly.【语篇解读】文章介绍了动感单车的发展以及对人类的益处。8What was Goldbergs original purpose in creating spinning?ATo certify spinning instructors.BTo prepare for sports events.CTo strengthen muscles.DTo improve fitness level.解析：细节理解题。由文章开头第一句话可知，戈德堡最初发明动感单车是为比赛而准备的一种简单快捷的训练方式。答案：B9Which of the following is NOT the necessity needed for spinning?ATowels. BA water bottle.Cfortable shoes. DEarphones.解析：细节理解题。文章倒数第二、三、四段提到了A、B、C三项，D项没有提到。答案：D10What can we learn from the passage? ASpinning is as difficult as climbing a hill. BYou decide for yourself the pace of pedaling. CPedaling fast is likely to cause injuries. DPlaying music will disturb you in spinning.解析：推理判断题。由第三段第三句及最后一段最后一句可以推断出踩踏板的速度是由练习者自己决定的。答案：B11. What is the best title for the passage? ASpinning your way to good health BWorldclass cyclist jonathan goldberg CA new form of aerobic exercise DEquipment needed for spinning解析：主旨大意题。B、D两项仅仅提到文章中的一部分；C项太含糊，读者看过标题之后依然会困惑。A项既提到了spinning，又提到了它对健康有好处，使读者一目了然。答案：ADPygmalion is a drama in which Shaw has made sentiments one of the principle themes of discussion.The Greek sculptor Pygmalion carved a statue and fell in love with it.Aphrodite (the goddess of love) turned the statue into a living woman named Galatea，who then became Pygmalions wife.The Shavian Pygmalion is Henry Higgins，a professor of phonetics，who picks up a flower girl，Eliza Doolittle，teaches her to speak as educated people do，and then successfully passes_her_off_as a duchess.But she is a human being and cannot be treated as a machine.In the course of all his experiments and exhibitions，the professor only thinks of his own skill success and failure，but never stops to consider how the girl feels.When the experiment is over，he has a profound sense of relief that he has achieved triumph and has won his bet.Even now，the sentiment of the girl is of no account.The girl naturally protests against this dehumanized relationship between her and her teacher.She hurls the professors slippers at him when he wants them and then leaves his place.But evidently，she has begun to feel for the professor and wants also to be felt for.Now the question is what is the nature of Elizas feelings for the professor with whom she has lived in close association for so long? In the last act，the girl says she would not marry him even if he had proposed (求婚) to her.The professor，curiously ineffectual (无效的) to sexual emotions，does not love any girl because he finds them to be rivals (对手) to his own mother.He wonders，if Eliza does not want to marry him，then what does she want from him? Old Mrs Higgins，who knows much about a woman says that it would have been better if he had thanked her and petted her and told her how wonderful she had been.Then perhaps she would not have fought with him.Every girl loves to be loved.Eliza herself says that she loves Freddy and he also loves her.Professor Higgins，however，remains as ever，an old bachelor.【语篇解读】文章介绍了伟大作家萧伯纳的著名小说卖花女。12Who wrote Pygmalion?AAphrodite. BBernard Shaw.CGalatea. DHenry Higgins.解析：根据第一段第一句可知。答案：B13What does the underlined phrase “pass her off as” mean?ALet her pretend to be.BDress her up as.CMake her bee. DTurn into.解析：亨利教会伊莱扎说话技巧并使她成功地冒充了公爵夫人，所以pass her off as是“冒充”而不是真的成为。答案：A14What kind of person do you think Higgins is according to the second paragraph?AHe is a kind man.BHe is a considerate man.CHe is a selfish man.DHe is a rude man.解析：从“.never stops to consider how the girl feels”和“.she has begun to feel for the professor and wants also to be felt for.”可以看出亨利只在乎实验的成败，而不关心实验对象的内心感受。所以是个自私的人。答案：C15Whats the main idea of this text?AIts about the story between Shaw and Pygmalion.BIts about the Greek sculptor Pygmalion and his statue.CIts about the content of a drama Pygmalion.DIts about the love story of Higgins and Eliza.解析：本文介绍了萧伯纳的喜剧作品Pygmalion(卖花女)。答案：C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。Recently some American
