三、阅读理解(共12小题；每小题3分，满分36分)
A
A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant (显著的) problem.
The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation (动机)，we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self defeating because it might reduce motivation，especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.
Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining (保持) or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout，but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re think，so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.
36. What is the text mainly about
A. Foreign students have more problems.
B. There are many ways to improve English.
C. Teaching should meet students’ needs.
D. English learning problems should be studied again.
37. Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students ________.
A. had to write their papers B. became better at speaking
C. became less interested in reading D. had fewer problems with listening
38. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. A few students find it difficult in understanding spoken English.
B. The students who have chosen to join the course are not interested in English at all.
C. Grammar-based English teaching is barely effective to foreign language learners.
D. It may seem unwise to develop various activities in maintaining or increasing motivation.
39. We may infer from the last two paragraphs that ________.
A. different teaching methods should be used
B. grammar based teaching seems to be encouraging
C. English courses are necessary for foreign students
D. teaching content should be changed halfway
B
A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.
The system，called Driver Alert，aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%～40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot error accidents that are related to fatigue.
Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device，worn by drivers or pilots，gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel (方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound the driver’s response.
Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time. Usually，a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond，but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds，it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.
In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds，showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver’s response continues to slow down，the sounds become more frequent until a non stop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.
The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing. If these tests，scheduled for six months’ time，are successful，the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.
40. According to the text，Driver Alert ________.
A. aims to reduce tiredness related accidents B. has gone through testing at laboratories
C. aims to prevent drivers form sleeping D. has been on sale for 12 months
41. How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert
A. By sounding a warning. B. By touching the wristband.
C. By checking the driving time. D. By pressing the steering wheel.
42. We can learn form the text that the driver needs to stop for a break when his response time is ________.
A. about 400 milliseconds B. below 500 milliseconds
C. over 500 milliseconds D. about 4 minutes
43. When the driver gets sleepy while driving，Driver Alert ________.
A. moves more regularly B. stops working properly
C. opens the window for the driver D. sounds more frequently and loudly
C
From Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax (放松) and enjoy themselves. Some watch TV or go to the movies; others take part in sports. It depends on individual interests. There are many different ways to spend our spare time.
Almost everyone has some kinds of hobbies. It may be anything from collecting stamps to making model airplanes. Some hobbies are very expensive, but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth a lot of money; others are valuable only to their owners.
I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare (稀有的) fifty cent piece worth $250! He was very happy about his buying and thought the price was reasonable (合理的). On the other hand, my youngest brother collects matchboxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt (怀疑) if they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are very valuable. Nothing makes him happier than to find a new matchbox for his collection.
That’s what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.
44. The underlined word “individual” in the first paragraph most probably means ____.
A. different B. strange C. secret D. one's own
45. In the writer's opinion, ____.
A. all hobbies are very expensive
B. some hobbies don't cost anything
C. hobbies are worthless
D. hobbies are valuable to everybody
46. Something that one enjoys doing in one's spare time is a ____.
A. job B. pleasure C. hobby D. habit
47. Which of the following statements (陈述) is NOT true
A. The writer's brother has a large collection of matchboxes, which makes him very happy.
B. We collect a subject in our spare time simply for the fun of it.
C. The pleasure that a hobby can give is important.
D. To have a hobby means to spend a lot of money.

第一单元(Unit 1)综合提优测评卷
一、1. B　先行词ways在定语从句中作主语，故引导词用that或which。
2. B　句意为“你评价很高的雇员被证明不诚实”。you had been thinking highly of是定语
从句，修饰先行词the employee；proved为谓语动词。
3. A　本题要表示的是“而不是”这个概念，better than 和more than是比较级，明显与
句意不符，只有rather than可表示此意。
4. B　worth的修饰语常用well；worth后可接名词或动名词。
5. C　find sth. gone/missing/lost发现某物丢失了。

在，生存。
7. C　考查短语辨析。in return作为(对……的)回报。treat a friend of mine to dinner in
return for his help意为“请我的一位朋友吃饭来回报他对我的帮助”。in addition此外；in

8. C　考查同位语从句，用“that” 引导同位语从句，补充说明前面的名词evidence。
9. C　考查短语用法。belong to意为“属于”，是不及物动词短语，一般不用于进行时态，
也不用于被动语态，故排除选项B、D；再根据句意“正如我们都知道的，虎和猫在兽类
中属于同一科”，可知应用一般现在时态，所以选C。
10. D　考查非谓语动词。it与repair之间为被动关系，故用repair的过去分词形式作宾
语it的补足语，构成have sth. done结构。
11. A　考查名词辨析。quality品质。句意为：“我们都知道艰苦奋斗是我们中国人的优
良品质。”manner礼貌，举止，方式；deed行动，事迹；act行为，行动。
12. D　考查动词词组的用法。句意：我的建议再次被拒绝了。turn over移交给，翻阅，
把…翻过来，发动；turn on打开； turn off关上，turne down开小，拒绝。
13. B　考查交际用语。根据答语中“毕竟她不可能是故意的”可知答案为选项B。It doesn’t

是关系代词，指代整个主句的内容。

且关系词在定语从句中作状语时，关系词通常用where。
二、16. B　根据文章最后一段中的“In their place，my twins will be grown”可知，此处
应为twins。
17. D　根据文章第5空前的句子“An hour later，Tara cried and I carefully went
downstairs”可知作者和丈夫在楼上睡。
18. C　午夜的某个时候应该是sometime。sometime有时，间或；every time每一次；
sometime在某时；anytime任何时候。
19. A　根据Jack quietly touched me中的quietly及上下文可知，此处作者应该是温柔
地(gently)给儿子让出地方。
20. A　根据下文女儿所说的“I can’t really breathe very well”可知女儿应该是鼻塞。
21. B　根据文章内容可知，此处应是女儿要求作者和她呆一会儿。
22. B　7空前后两个分句构成因果关系，所以用so。女儿晚上不常起来，所以这次作者
决定陪女儿一会。
23. D　to one’s surprise令某人惊讶的是。这里的意思是作者没有想到儿子将自己的位
置占了。
24. C　根据文章内容可知，是因为儿子的表情是如此满足(content)，所以作者不愿意去
动儿子。

们中间。

注意。

29. C　根据作者所说的话，这里应该是“妈妈在这里，一切都会没事的”。

31. B　考查how短语引导的宾语从句，how often对表示频度的词提问；how long多长
时间；how much多少。根据句子 31 these nights of merry go round will be over可知：这一连串的繁忙活动要过多久才能结束。how soon对表示将来的
时间提问，意思是要多久以后。
32. A　No doubt毫无疑问；No wonder难怪；No problem没问题；No worry不慌不忙。
33. B　根据文章内容可知，孩子们要长大，总会离开家的，所以总会人去房空的。
34. D　根据文章内容可知，作者一直在提醒自己，要珍惜这些繁忙而又美好的日子，因
为小鸟迟早会飞走的。
35. C　这些日夜操劳的日子繁忙而美好，但终究会因为孩子的长大离开而弥显珍贵
(precious)。
三、 36. C　第一段所列出的调查结果是为了引出要讨论的话题。第二段 “To use the same method would be self defeating because it might reduce motivation，especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.”和第三段第一句 “Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining or increasing motivation.”可判断C项正确。
37. A　根据第一段第四句“Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in.”可知A项正确。
38. A 根据第二段 “To use the same method would be self defeating because it might reduce motivation，especially if it has failed in the past.”可知C项正确。
39. A　结合第二段最后三句“Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self defeating because it might reduce motivation，especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.”和第三段第一句 “Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining or increasing motivation.”可以推断出A项正确。D项的干扰最大，第二段提到不宜采用语法教学法，第三段则说一成不变的时间表让师生感到厌烦，由此可知是教学方式而不是“内容”需要更新，因此可以排除D项。
40. A　根据第二段中的第一句话“The
system，called Driver Alert，aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20% 40%
that are caused by tiredness 可得出正确选项为A。根据最后一段“If these tests，
scheduled for six months time，are successful，the makers will bring the product
to market within about a year”得知这种产品正处于实验阶段，要在12个月后上市，
故排除B、D；而选项C只是这种产品的表面作用。
41. D　根据第三段中的“after each sound the driver
must respond by squeezing steering wheel”判断出D项为最佳答案。
42. C　由第四段中的“but once that
falls to more than 500 milliseconds，it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy”
以及第五段中的第一句话“In such cases the device gives out more regular and
louder sounds，showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest”可’’
判断出，只要当司机反应的时间超过500 milliseconds 时，司机就得停下来休息一
下。
43. D　根据第五段的第一句话“In such cases the
device gives out more regular and louder sounds，showing that the driver should
open a window or stop for a rest”可判断出，当司机打盹时，这种装置就会不停地
大声地叫。
44. D 根据文意，此处指“个人的兴趣”。
45. B 由第三段“集火柴盒”的例子可知。
46. C 这是对hobby的解释。
47. D 据第二段可知，并非所有的爱好都需要花钱。
四、One possible version：
Dear Editor,
The students in our class had a discussion about whether the only way for senior high students to succeed is to go to college.
75% of the students thought it necessary to go to college, for college education can increase their knowledge and improve their personal qualities as well. However, 15% of the students thought that it is no use going to college because it’s extremely difficult for college graduates to get satisfactory jobs. In addition, the tuition is too high for their families to pay for. The remaining 10% held the view that “All roads lead to Rome.” Therefore, they thought it doesn’t make any difference whether they go to college or not.
In my opinion, it’s a better choice to go to college because we can receive more education. But if we are unable to enter college, there are many other choices for us, and we can still contribute to society.
Yours sincerely,
