2019-2020年高中英语 Unit 3 Australia测试题 新人教版选修9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。AOn my first job as a sports editor, I didnt get a lot of fan mails, so I was surprised to see a letter on my desk one morning. When I opened it, I read: “Sweet piece of writing on the Tigers. Keep up the good work.” It was signed (署名) by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Because I was a green hand, his words could not have been more encouraging. I kept the letter in my desk drawer for a long time. Whenever I doubted I had the talent to be an editor, I would reread Dons note and be confident again.Later, when I got to know him, I learned that Don had a habit of writing encouraging notes to people in all walks of life. “When I make others feel good about themselves,” he told me, “I feel good, too.” Why are encouraging note writers in such short supply? My guess is that many who shy away from the practice are too self-conscious. They are afraid they will be misunderstood. Also, writing takes time and it is far easier to pick up the phone. The disadvantage with phone calls, of course, is that they do not last. It is a matter of record, and our words in a note can be read more than once and treasured. So, who around you deserves a note of thanks or approval? A neighbor, your librarian, a relative, your mate, a teacher, or a doctor? Words such as “greatest”, “smartest”, “prettiest” make us all feel good. Even if your praise runs a little ahead of reality, remember that expectations are often the parents of dreams realized.1. What might be the authors purpose in writing the text? A. To express thanks to the sports editor.B. To tell us the power of encouraging notes. C. To explain how to write encouraging notes. D. To ask readers to give encouragement to others. 2. Why did the sports editor write the author a letter?A. To fort him. B. To give him a new task. C. To promote his business. D. To encourage him to work better. 3. The author doesnt suggest making a phone call because _.A. it doesnt last B. it is quite direct C. it can be recorded D. it is easier to misunderstand4. From the text, we can infer that _.A. being a sports editor is not very interesting B. where there is a dream, there is a hopeC. Don Wolfe used to be a sportsmanD. people like to be praisedBMost of the energy we use now is made from “non-renewable” sources. The good news is we have plenty of alternatives the wind, sun and water can provide “renewable (可再生的) energy” which will never run out and does not give off carbon dioxide and therefore is good for the environment.So, what would a world powered by nature look like? Lets think about how your day might change. As you are woken up, the solar panels (太阳能电池板) on your roof would heat the water you bathe with. In the kitchen your mum would make breakfast with a kettle that could tell you just how much energy you are using, and where its ing from maybe from solar panels too. As you and your family leave the house, a “Smart” energy meter (仪表) would be able to tell you the amount of energy your family has used so far.You would get in your familys electric car, which would not give off any bad smoke. On your way to school, you would notice all the houses you pass have solar panels on their roofs and maybe a small wind turbine (风力涡轮机) if they were built on a hill, and some have water tanks collecting rain water to be reused. There would be no petrol stations, but you might see many other stations instead, where you could recharge (再充电) your car. Your school would also look different. Like your house, the roof would probably be covered with solar panels. Inside, the school would be heated by a biomass boiler (生物质锅炉), which burns recycled wood chips. A renewable cooling system in the school means that in the summer it will never get too warm!To make this renewable future possible, we need to think carefully about where our energy es from and how we use it. 5. What wouldnt you see on the way to school according to the text? A. Petrol stations. B. Solar panels on the roofs. C. Small wind turbines. D. Water tanks collecting rain water. 6. Which of the following best describes the world mentioned in the text? A. Healthy and safe. B. Convenient but unpractical. C. Energy-saving but too plex.D. Intelligent and free from pollution. 7. Which might be the best title for the text? A. Life in the future B. A world powered by nature C. The ways to preserve energyD. Renewable energy in the future CIf you have ever wondered what Noah s Ark (诺亚方舟), the enormous boat that saved Noah, his family and two examples of every animal species on the earth, may have looked like, you are in luck. Thats because a Dutchman (荷兰人) has created a life-size replica (复制品).Johan Huibers says he was inspired to build a boat after he dreamt that his country was pletely flooded! The carpenter began by creating a smaller version of what he likes to call Johans Ark in xx. Not surprisingly, it was an instant hit with tourists. Encouraged by the success, he used the funds generated from ticket sales, and in xx recruited (雇用) his two children and some friends, to build a version of the same size as the one described in the Bible.Whats even more amazing is the detail that lies inside. Just like the real deal, Johan has built storage spaces at the bottom of the ship where food can be kept for long periods of time. A curved (弯曲的) upper deck (甲板) is not only designed to accumulate rainwater, but also, serve as an “exercise” track for animals like horses and big cats! As for the animals? While the area inside is big enough to allow two real elephants to dance, Johan has restrained (抑制) that impulse! Instead, he has populated it with plastic substitutes of the animal and also giraffes, zebras and even buffalos (野牛)all life-size of course! But smaller species like chickens, sheep and rabbits got luckier. They are all alive and seem to be enjoying their life inside the Arks “petting” zoo. 8. What pushed Johan to start making a life-size replica of Noahs Ark?A. An interest in the Bible.B. Fear of the end of the world.C. The success of Johans first boat. D. A terrible experience in the Netherlands. 9. A curved upper deck is specially designed to _.A. store plenty of food B. hold more large animalsC. meet the need of animals D. prevent rainwater from getting in10. The underlined part “that impulse” in the last paragraph refers to “_”. A. taking small animals onboardB. bringing in large live animals C. using plastic substitutes of animals D. collecting all the animals in the world 11. In which section of a newspaper can you most probably read the text? A. Funny tales. B. The world of animals.C. Science and technology.D.

Here are some tips that may help you to prevent myopia.1. 16 Whether its for the love of books or because you are studying for a test that just happens to take place tomorrow, dont overdo it. This means either getting away from a page-turner (引人入胜的书) or starting your studies a few days earlier. If prolonged (持续很久的) reading cant be avoided, try taking regular breaks to rest your eyes or take a nap (小睡). 2. Consume lots of eye-protecting vitamins (维生素). 17 Its very meaningful to get kids to eat this healthy orange vegetable, which is rich in vitamins. Still, good doses (剂量) of multi-vitamins will improve not only your eyesight but your health in general. 3. Do your reading or focusing in a well-lit room. Weak light may cause damage to your eyes and result in the need for glasses. 18 Buy a reading light or just turn on a bright lamp. 4. Be mindful of the distance between your eyes and the object youre focusing on. 19 It will also cause your head to ache and may dry out your eyes. 5. 20 Early detection of nearsightedness can lead to quick treatment and less serious symptoms. A. Try not to read for long lengths of time.B. You should also eat a lot of other green vegetables. C. Talk to an eye care doctor at the first signs of eye trouble. D. Of course the first choice that es to mind is the carrot.E. It will also give you a headache and cause you to bee tired.F.

In your letter, you mentioned that you are interested in learning Chinese and want me to give you some advice on it. I would like to give you some tips which I think can be helpful to you.Firstly, you should know that Chinese learning is not something easy. You should develop good learning habits and set aside some time every day to read or write Chinese. Secondly, you should listen more and watch more, especially some Chinese films. Try to imitate the pronunciation while listening or watching. Thirdly, you should try to speak Chinese as much as you can. You can find a Chinese friend and practice speaking with him. The more you practice, the better you can speak. Yours sincerely, Li Hua
