1、 Unit5 单元综合测评单元综合测评 第一部分 听力略 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分 40 分) 第一节(共 10 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 30 分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A The English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions. One such example is the word matter.In fact,matter can mean jus
2、t about anything.It could be one of the most useful words in the English language. Lets get to the heart of the mattera matter of principle(原则). If someone says that you owe(欠) him $50, but you dont, a friend might say, “Well, you could pay him the $50.Its not that much money.Then you wont have to h
3、ear him say it anymore.” But if you do not owe him the money,do not pay him the money.Its a matter of principle. There is another way to use the word matter.But be careful with your choice of words. If you ask someone,“Whats the matter?”,it shows you are worried about the other person.But saying,“Wh
4、ats the matter with you?” has a completely different meaning.And it usually sounds rude (粗鲁的).In fact,when you say,“Whats the matter with you?”,you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid. Another expression that could sound rude is to say,“It doesnt matter to me.” Here,it depen
5、ds on the context,and how you say it. Lets say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work.That person answers with,“It doesnt matter to me.” Here,it means he or she does not care.And it sounds rude. But saying,“Oh,you pick where we eat dinner.It doesnt matter to me.” does not sound
6、rude.In this situation,“it doesnt matter” shows you are easy- going(随和的). No matter how you look at it and what you say,matter is a very useful word.And its only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter. 21.What is the authors suggestion in Paragraph 4? A.Every penny co
7、unts. B.Stick to what is right. C.Follow your friends advice. D.Be careful when making friends. 22.The underlined word “context” in the text probably means “ ”. A.choice B.person C.situation D.answer 23.The author develops the text mainly by . A.using examples B.giving instructions C.describing his
8、experiences D.discussing research findings B The other day a big, ugly, black bat found its way to the bathroom of my house and hung, upside down, over the toilet bowl. As “the man of the house” , I was asked to rid the house of the awful creature. I grabbed a pillow and held the broom. I quickly op
9、ened the bathroom door and threw the pillow at the bat. It didnt move. Then that old feeling started to come over me. It was the same feeling I experienced when I was sent down the stairs in the middle of the night to see what made a noise. The feeling can be summed up in one wordtrapped. All men, I
10、 think, sometimes have had that feeling of being trapped in some male roles. It may be something as simple as having to carve the chicken before it is served, or having to pretend that you know something about car engines when the car wont start. However, women nowadays seem to have the freedom to b
11、e themselves. They can repair cars or be firefighters. Yet men appear to be more afraid to do something different. Its as if being a man is not what you are, but what you do and the way you do it. As I came towards the fierce and frightening bat, I wondered what would happen if I had simply told my
12、wife that I wouldnt do itthat she could get it out or else call someone in the morning. But I couldnt do that! I am the man! I slowly opened the window and closed the toilet bowl cover. I then, carefully, lifted the broom over my head and swept the bat out the window. Just like that, it was gone. My
13、 wife was so pleased and in the morning, my son thought I was a hero. They asked me how I had got rid of the bat. I started to tell thembut then stopped. A man doesnt talk of such things. 24Why does the author mention the old feeling in Paragraph 1? ATo recall the old days. BTo show his fear of dark
14、ness. CTo predict his fight with the bat. DTo highlight the situation of being trapped. 25What does the author mean by mentioning womens freedom in Paragraph 2? AMen are forced to bear household burdens. BMen have to live up to social expectations. CWomen are free to choose their jobs. DWomen are eq
15、ual to men in workplaces. 26The last sentence of the passage implies that the author _. Abelieves silence is gold Bfeels proud of himself Cwill do what he has to do Dwill be what he wants to be 27How does the author sound in the passage? AAngry. BHumorous. CDesperate. DSerious. C To develop ones tas
16、te in English,the most effective way is to read English books extensively.Yet one may be at a loss to choose the appropriate books,especially as a beginner.As a native Spanish,I would like to share some of my experience. My first English novel was Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice,recommended by many
17、 English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners.But my experience was somewhat disastrous.I had great difficulty in understanding the novel,let alone enjoying it.Its not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen constructs sentences, and her way of thinking,wh
18、ich seemed too remote to me at that time.My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingways novel A Farewell to Arms.No long and complicated sentences.And I particularly liked his brief and straightforward(简洁的) style.So my first suggestion is,as a beginner,youd better choose contempora
19、ry novels instead of classical ones. However,if you restrict yourself to novels you will miss a lot of treasures.English essays can at once inform you,entertain you,and improve your taste in English.The best example is Bertrand Russells work.Its language is plain,yet you cannot help feeling the eleg
20、ance and the peculiar sense of humor.His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people.Here comes my second suggestionessays are indispensable. Never follow others recommendations and opinions blindly,however famous or influential(有很大影响的) the person might be.We should be
21、 open to various ideas,but always think and determine for ourselves.As a saying goes,one mans meat is another mans poison.With that in mind,we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English. 28.What made the first English novel that the author read h
22、ard to understand? A.Complicated conversations. B.Sentences and Austens thinking pattern. C.The old- fashioned vocabulary. D.Not knowing the social background. 29.Which can best replace the underlined word “indispensable”? A.Necessary. B.Challenging. C.Relevant. D.Inspirational. 30.What advice does
23、the author give in the last paragraph? A.Choose books that challenge us most. B.Read books that are instructive. C.Dont be affected by others choices. D.Compare books before buying. 31.What is the authors purpose of writing the passage? A.Give comments on literature works. B.Tell beginners how to ch
24、oose English books. C.Encourage people to read more English books. D.Recommend first class books to English learners. D More than a billion people around the world have smartphones, almost all of which come with some kind of navigation (导航) app such as Apple Maps or Amap. This raises the age- old qu
25、estion we meet with any technology: What abilities is our brain losing to these apps? But also, importantly: What abilities are we gaining? Talking with people who are good at finding their way around or good at using paper maps, I often hear a lot of annoyance with digital maps. North/south directi
26、on gets messed up, and you can see only a small section at a time. I can really understand that it may be quite disturbing for the already skilled to be limited to a small phone screen. But consider what digital navigation aids have meant for someone like me. Although being a frequent traveler, Im s
27、o terrible at finding my way that I still use Apple Maps almost every day in the small town where I have lived for many years. In many developed nations, street names and house numbers can be meaningful, and instructions such as “go north for three blocks andthen west” make sense to those familiar w
28、ith these rules. In Istanbul, however, where I grew up, none of those hold true. For one thing, the locals seldom use street names. Besides, the city is full of winding and ancient alleys that cross with newer avenues at many angles. In such places, youd better turn to the locals. In the American co
29、untryside, however, there is often nobody outside to ask. In fact, along came Apple Maps, like a fairy grandmother whispering directions in my ear. Since then, I travel with a lot more confidence, and my world has opened up. Which brings me back to my original question: While we often lose some skil
30、ls after depending on new technology, this new equipment may also allow us to gain new abilities. Maybe when technology closes a door, we should also look for the doors it opens. 32Why do people skilled at reading paper maps feel upset? AThey like reading paper maps. BThey are confused by digital ma

ATurning to local people. BFollowing the navigation app. CGetting familiar with the city rules. DLooking for str

ABenefits of Navigation Apps BDisadvantages of Navigation Apps CMy World Opens Up by New Technology DHave Navigation App
