Unit 11 The Media单元综合检测 (时间：100分钟；满分：120分).阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AWhen we decide to teach children at home by ourselves，we use every resource (资源) to aid us in filling our childrens minds with valuable information.At times，television can even be not only a resource for us，but an important resource.The main focus (焦点) should not be whether kids，homeschooled or not，should watch TV.The real focus needs to be：What is the best choice for my child in this period of life and learning？For some people，this will mean replacing the entertainment center with exercise equipment；for others it will be to allow a few hours of carefully chosen programming each day or week.Television has some very valuable programming that can add richness to your daily homeschool lessons.My own children are learning about Native Americans at present and we found a program called Into the West.The program did a beautiful job presenting the Westward Movement from two different sides：the Native Americans and the White Settlers.My children were shocked by the contrast (对比) between the two，and for our family this program was a central part of this unit study.What works for my family may not work for yours.Quite honestly，thats OK because what works for your family may not work for mine.As parents，we need to be purposeful about our childrens activities：including television.No one can tell you whether you should buy a bigscreen TV or to throw away what you have.The goal is to decide which types of resources benefit your childrens education，entertainment，and quality of life.No one can decide this for you.Once you make a decision，you will stop paring your family with another homeschool family.【语篇解读】本文主要是针对那些决定在家教孩子的父母提出的一些看法。告诉他们利用一切资源给孩子提供有价值的信息。而电视甚至是一种重要的资源。因为有一些有价值的节目可丰富你的日常家庭教育，但一定要选择适合你的东西。1According to the author，what matters most in the discussion about television?AWhether

life.”目标是决定哪些类型的资源有利于孩子的教育、娱乐和生活质量。没人能帮你决定。分析选项可知C项(孩子成长和学习的最好方法是什么？)与此相符合，故选C项。2The author shows some television programming can be useful by Amaking a contrastBgiving an exampleCexplaining reasons and resultsDdescribing the progress his children have madeB推理判断题。根据文章可知，第三段提出了电视中有许多有用的节目，在第四段进行了举例。由此可推断出 B项是正确的。3The text is written for Ahomeschool parentsBtelevision

government.Many of their programs are educational.But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit.These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years.Newspapers, magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity.At the same time, online, cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength.So have media that serve racial groups and those municating in foreign languages.In general, more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment.At the same time, fewer owners control them.Huge panies have many holdings(股份)In some areas, one pany controls much of the media.One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television.It es into most homes over wires.It does not use the public airwaves to present programs, as broadcast television does.Like broadcast television, most cable television programs perform advertisements.This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes.Thirty years ago, few people had cable.Today, about sixtyeight percent of American homes have cable television.Television by satellite also is gaining popularity.Over the years, traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible.Many cable panies, however, present programs for one special group of viewers.For example, there are cable stations for people who like books, cooking, travel, golf or edy.【语篇解读】近些年私营传媒发生了很大改变，报纸、杂志和传统广播电视受欢迎程度逐渐下滑，而网络、有线电视和卫星电视的受众逐渐增加。4Which of the following is TRUE about American public media?AThey

charge has bee very important to us：many stores and shopping malls offer it，restaurants use it to attract customers，and for libraries and coffee shops it is a musthave service.Even when people are traveling，they scan for free WiFi.When selecting or rating a hotel，six in ten travelers believe that unlimited WiFi is the most important factor.“Today，people will never forget to pack their smart phones，tablets and laptops into the suitcase，”said the Daily Mail.“We rely on free WiFi heavily when travelingespecially when it es to checking social media，checking out travel tips，and accessing websites.”However，despite the opportunities that free WiFi gives us，“our overreliance on technology has e at a price，with travelers feeling unable to escape social media”，said Lonely Planet，the worlds largest travel guide brand.Anita Isalska，Lonely Planet editor and tech addict，was forced to unplug when in an isolated (隔绝的) camp in Greenland recently.“Adjusting to this slower pace，I began to realize that：social media had changed into a habit，”she wrote.“I had believed I was capturing (捕捉) moments，but in reality my busy fingers were preventing me enjoying travels deepest pleasures.How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or wild flowers when your brain is selecting the right photo filter (滤镜) or the perfect six seconds to take photos？”In September，Lonely Planet released 10 predictions for the future of global travel.One of them was that true escapes will be highly valued in future，so remote hotels will start to make their lack of the Internet into an appealing feature.Would you like to have an unplugged holiday?【语篇解读】免费的无线网络正成为人们生活中不可分割的一部分，过分的依赖让人们的旅行很难摆脱社交媒体。8According to the passage, people nowadays tend to do the following EXCEPT Aenjoying traveling better without carrying any HiTech equipmentBthinking ill of a hotel without WiFiCgetting out of a library that has no access to the InternetDmaking travel plans via the InternetA推理判断题。根据前三段可知人们会以有没有无线网作为评价宾馆、图书馆的首要条件，据此可以排除BCD项。9Through the fourth paragraph，the author intends to Aget into another topicBgive more evidence to the view mentionedCshow a different opinion on the topicDsummarize the previous paragraphsC目的意图题。根据第四段However，despite the opportunities that free WiFi gives us，可知作者要表达针对这个话题的不同观点。10What has Anita Isalska realized in Greenland?ATravelers cannot survive without HiTech.BHer overreliance on technology has e at a price.CTaking pictures doesnt affect appreciating nature.DHer fingers are not flexible enough to take enough pictures.B推理判断题。根据第五段可知Anita Isalska时时刻刻都无法摆脱对科技的依赖，这样让她的旅行无法达到放松自己的目的即她对科技的过度依赖让她付出代价。11What does “an unplugged holiday” mean in the last paragraph?AA camping holiday.BA holiday without taking pictures.CA holiday in a remote hotel.DA holiday without WiFi.D词义猜测题。根据最后一段remote hotels will start to make their lack of the Internet into an appealing feature.可知偏远的宾馆将使没有无线网成为他们最吸引游客的特色。DMoney spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I know of.It serves directly to bring about a rapid sale of goods at reasonable prices，so setting up a firm home market and so making it possible to provide for export at good prices.By drawing attention to new ideas it helps greatly to raise standards of living.By helping to increase demand it causes an increased need for labor，and is therefore a nice way to fight unemployment.It lowers the costs of many services：without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much，the price of your television program would need to be doubled，and travel by bus or subway would cost more.And perhaps most important of all，advertising provides a promise of reasonable value in the products and services you buy.Besides the fact that twentyseven Acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising，no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements.He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising.He will not do so for long，for the public has the good sense not to buy the poor article more than once.If you see an article frequently advertised，it is the proof I know that the article does what is promised for it，and that it has good value.Advertising does more for the good of the public than any other force I can think of. There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on.Recently I heard a wellknown television person declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs.He was telling us the real difference.Of course advertising tries to persuade.If its message were nothing but information，that would be difficult to get more people to buy，for even a detail such as the choice of the color of a shirt is a bit persuasiveadvertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention.But perhaps that is what the wellknown television person wants.【语篇解读】本文主要论述了对广告的看法。12By the first sentence of the passage the author means that Ahe is fairly familiar with the cost of advertisingBeverybody knows well that advertising is money consumingCadvertising cost money like everything elseDit is worthwhile to spend money on advertisingD推理判断题。第一句句意：钱用于做广告是值得的，如同我所知道的任何好的事情一样。13In the passage，which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of advertising?AScoring greater fame.BProviding more jobs.CRaising living standards.DReducing newspaper cost.A细节理解题。从第一段的第三句开始，作者列举了广告的好处，“.raise standards of living”与C相符；“.it causes an increased need for labor.”与B相符；“.without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much”与D相符。只有A在文中未被提到。14The author means that the wellknown TV personality is Avery precise in passing his judgement on advertisingBinterested in nothing but the buyers attentionCcorrect in telling the difference between persuasion and informationDobviously partial in his views on advertisingD推理判断题。见文章第四段：一位电视界名人说他反对广告，原因是广告在于劝说而不是传递信息，而作者对此看法不同。作者认为：广告当然在于等劝说，在接下来的一段中，又说如果广告只是把自己限制在信息方面，那么它就很难，甚至不可能达到目的，由此可知作者认为那位电视名人关于广告的看法是片面的。15What attitude does the author hold for advertising?ANegative.BPositive.CRidiculous.DNot stated.B推理判断题。在文章的开头句及第三段等作者都充分肯定了广告的作用，所以他的态度是肯定的。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)While some lucky people are born with the gift of artistic power，others have
