Unit 5 Working the Land 单元测试
一、阅读理解
Every time you go shopping, the vegetables and fruit look so tempting that you wish you could buy all of them. Some people are lucky and can grow the fruit and vegetables in the gardens that they have. While getting fresh vegetables, they can also achieve great cost cutting.
Mushrooms are expensive and can also go bad very quickly. Mushrooms can also be grown easily in a dark environment. In fact it's better than growing other vegetables since you really don't need an outdoor space. A special type of soil that is good for growing mushrooms is easily available.
Actually mushrooms aren't even vegetables; they are fungi (菌类) and for this reason, you don't even require sunlight to grow them. Well, how does one go about growing mushrooms You could always search "growing mushrooms" and you will find a number of mushroom growing kits (工具) available online that are effective and not very expensive either.
Mushrooms can be added to any dish that you cook. Simply use them in pizza, salads and anything that you pretty much fancy. Grow mushrooms in your own house and use them whenever you want. Fresh mushrooms are tastier than the ones that are stored in your refrigerator.
If you have had a really good crop of mushrooms, then you can even store them. Ideally you should use the white variety of the mushrooms. Simply pick them, slice them and put them on a cookie sheet in a freezer. When they are frozen, you can use them when you want to. Remember to thaw (解冻) them before you use them, and they will give a really great taste to the dish that you are making.

Today's world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. A key skill set for success is persistence (毅力),a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence.
BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time, the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school.
"There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers," Padilla-Walker said. "This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence—which can be taught—are key to a child's life success."
Researchers determined that dads need to practice an "authoritative" parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian: rigid, demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given an appropriate level of autonomy (自主权).
In the study, about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better outcomes in school.
This particular study examined 11-to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research.
(1).What is special about the BYU professors' study
A.It centered on fathers' role in parenting. B.It was based on a number of large families.
C.It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles. D.It aimed to improve kids' achievement in school.
(2).What would an authoritative father do when raising his children
A.Ignore their demands. B.Make decisions for them.
C.Control their behaviors. D.Explain the rules to them.
(3).Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers
A.Single parents. B.Children aged from 11 to 14.
C.Authoritarian fathers. D.Mothers in two-parent homes.
(4).Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.Three Characteristics of Authoritative Fathers
B.Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in Future
C.Children Tend to Learn Determination from Father
D.Family Relationship Influences School Performance
During most time of the 1930s, the Great Plains region was destroyed by drought and high winds. Howling across the Great Plains, these winds swept up the soil of the over-farmed land and created serious sandstorms of dust. These black sandstorms were so thick that daylight seemed more like dusk. Year after year having passed without rain, the winds continued to blow, and the dust swirled endlessly. During this terrible period, the region came to be called the Dust Bowl.
But the causes of the sandstorms weren't just drought and winds. In a strange way, patriotism (爱国主义) was partly to blame. During World War I, the US government encouraged farmers to support the war by planting more wheat. As farmers increased their production, their own profits increased. Following the invention of the farm tractor, farmers plowed up thousands of acres of grassland and planted wheat. Wheat production rose fast, but nature soon turned success into disaster.
When the drought began, farmers didn't realise that, by plowing up the grassland, they had destroyed the land's natural protection against soil erosion (侵蚀). As the drought continued, one powerful windstorm after another blew across the Great Plains. Crops dried up and were blown away.
Nothing grew for years. Eventually most of the rich topsoil (表土层) was blown away. As years passed, all the moisture (水分) in the ground disappeared, leaving even the deep roots of trees in dust.
The Great Plains became a deserted place, as thousands of people fled to California to escape the dust and look for work. Most found only low-paying agricultural jobs. But there were those who refused to leave. For these farmers, a programme encouraged them to make use of new ways that would protect the precious topsoil from eroding. But bringing the soil back to life took time, and the farmers still needed rain. Rain meant more to the farmers than it ever had before. It meant a future.
1.Which of the following is the main cause of turning the Great Plains into the Dust Bowl
A.The land was over-farmed.
B.The high winds blew away good soil.
C.There was lasting drought for year.
D.There were many thick black sandstorms.
2.What does the underlined phrase in the second paragraph mean
A.Show up the grassland for farming.
B.Open up the grassland for farming.
C.Give up the grassland for farming.
D.Give out the grassland to the farmers.
3.How is the third paragraph mainly developed
A. By the time order. B. By giving examples.
C. By exploring causes and effects. D. By explaining the process.
4.What is mainly discussed in the last two paragraphs
A. Measures to be taken. B. Future of the destroyed region.
C. Results of the disaster. D. People's reaction to the disaster.
There is an old saying in China that goes, "The days of the Sanjiu period are the coldest days." The "Sanjiu period", which is in Minor Cold(小寒), refers to the third nine-day period (the 19th to the 27th day) after the day of the winter solstice(冬至). There are many different customs related to Minor Cold in China.
Eating hotpot
During Minor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend against the cold weather. Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton(炖羊肉) with soy sauce. But it is important to notice that too much spicy food may cause health problems.
Eating huangyacai
In Tianjin, there is a custom to have huangyacai, a kind of Chinese cabbage, during Minor Cold. There are large amounts of vitamins A and B in huangyacai. As huangyacai is fresh and tender, it is fit for frying, roasting and stewing.
Eating glutinous rice(糯米饭)
According to tradition, the Cantonese eat glutinous rice in the morning during Minor Cold. Cantonese add some fried preserved(腌制的) pork, sausages and peanuts and mix them into the rice.
Eating vegetable rice
In ancient times, people in Nanjing took Minor Cold quite seriously, but as time went by, the celebration of Minor Cold gradually disappeared. However, the custom of eating vegetable rice is still followed today. The rice is steamed and is unspeakably delicious. Among the ingredients, aijiaohuang(a kind of green vegetable), sausages and salted ducks are the specialties in Nanjing.
1.What do we know about Minor Cold
A.It lasts twenty-seven days. B.It marks the first day of winter.
C.It refers to the winter solstice. D.The Sanjiu period is in Minor Cold.
2.What is a special custom in Tianjin in Minor Cold

C.Having huangyacai. D.Having vitamins A and B pills.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Last Sunday afternoon, Sandra and I were eager to meet up with a man on Detroit's east side to help him get ready for a job interview this week. But on the way, we spotted a dog lying near the road next to his owner. We thought he’d been hit by a car. My friend, Sandra Abrahamian, and I had assisted animal rescue groups before and we thought there might be something we could do, so we quickly pulled over to help.
His owner, a woman told us the dog's name is Bosco, and she was walking him over a mile in the heat to her new home. She said Bosco was an outside dog and no one would give him a ride to her new place. That's why she and a friend decided to walk the entire way. He was going from a life on a chain in one backyard to another. She said Bosco was having trouble breathing along the way, but they thought he could make it. But just a block away from their destination, Bosco fell down. We could tell he was suffering from heatstroke (中暑). She told us he had thrown up and could no longer stand. Bosco was out of breath quickly; his drool (口水) was also thick. Bosco's owner said she wanted to give him away because she didn't have time for him. She said he would never be allowed into her new "home" because her children have allergies (过敏症) and she worried he would dirty the carpet.
I made a call to Kristina Rinaldi of Detroit Dog Rescue to ask if they could help Bosco because it was clear that he was going to die without emergency care. To our happiness, Rinaldi said they could help. At once she told the people at Oakland Veterinary Referral Services that a dog which needed critical care was being rushed in and they must be ready to try their best to save him.
Paragraph 1 :
Sandra drove while I stayed in the back seat trying to comfort Bosco.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 :
So Bosco is now being called Roscoe, whose critical care and recovery were estimated to be several thousand dollars.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

语法答案：Learning; graduation; to produce; difficulties; that; greatly; is comprised; but; wealthy; Despite
解析：文章介绍了"杂交水稻之父"袁隆平对农业的贡献。
①考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,"①______ that farmers often had poor harvests and sometimes even had a serious shortage of food to eat"在句中作原因状语,learn与he之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,故应用动词-ing形式。
②考查词形转换。结合语境并根据空前的形容词性物主代词his可知,空处应填名词graduation。
③考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,"③______ more rice"作ways的定语,故应用动词不定式。
④考查名词复数。difficulty作"困难;难题;难事"讲时是可数名词,因其前没有限定词,应用复数形式,故填difficulties。
⑤考查定语从句。该句为含有定语从句的复合句,先行词为"the first hybrid rice",空处在定语从句中作主语指代先行词,又因为先行词被序数词first修饰,故空处填that。
⑥考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰动词expand,故应用副词。
⑦考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。该句陈述的是现在的事实,故应用一般现在时;当"分数/百分数+ of +n."作主语时,谓语动词的数与名词的数保持一致,因"domestic rice consumption"为不可数名词,故谓语动词应用单数形式。be comprised of是固定搭配,意为"由……组成"。
⑧考查连词。此处是not just... but...结构,表示"不只是……,还有……",故应用but。
⑨考查形容词。此处考查"make+宾语+宾补"结构。根据语境可知,空处应是形容词作宾补,故用wealthy,表示"富有的,富裕的"。
⑩考查介词。此处指尽管袁隆平年事已高,但他心态年轻,充满了远见。sb.'s advanced years意为"年事已高,高龄",与其后的"he is still young at heart"构成转折关系,故填Despite,表示"尽管,即使"。

续写答案：
Paragraph 1:
Sandra drove while I stayed in the back seat trying to comfort Bosco. I thought we lost him a couple of times when he was seemingly out of breath and his eyes seemed to close. By the time we arrived, Bosco was wheeled into the animal care center to receive emergency care. Bosco was put on oxygen and was taken good care of by staff there and we waited anxiously for the dog to get out of danger. Rinaldi said another dog in Detroit Dog Rescue had already been named Bosco, and sbe wanted this new member to have a new name for his new life.
Paragraph 2:
So Bosco is now being called Roscoe, whose critical care and recovery were estimated to be several thousand dollars. It would be difficult for Roscoe's new home to cover the costs as a non-profit organisation. Thankfully, many people who knew Roscoe's story on Detroit Dog Rescue's Facebook page donated money to his care. With the help of supporters, Detroit Dog Rescue managed to make it. Once Roscoe was in a stable state, Sandra and I returned to our original mission, knowing we had already been given the chance to help one desperate soul.

Howling across the Great Plains, these winds swept up the soil of the over-farmed land and created serious sandstorms of dust. These black sandstorms were so thick that daylight seemed more like dusk. Year after year having passed without rain, the winds continued to blow, and the dust swirled endlessly. During this terrible period, the region came to be called the Dust Bowl.
But the causes of the sandstorms weren't just drought and winds. In a strange way, patriotism (爱国主义) was partly to blame. During World War I, the US government encouraged farmers to support the war by planting more wheat. As farmers increased their production, their own profits increased. Following the invention of the farm tractor, farmers plowed up thousands of acres of grassland and planted wheat. Wheat production rose fast, but nature soon turned success into disaster.
When the drought began, farmers didn't realise that, by plowing up the grassland, they had destroyed the land's natural protection against soil erosion (侵蚀). As the drought continued, one powerful windstorm after another blew across the Great Plains. Crops dried up and were blown away.
Nothing grew for years. Eventually most of the rich topsoil (表土层) was blown away. As years passed, all the moisture (水分) in the ground disappeared, leaving even the deep roots of trees in dust.
The Great Plains became a deserted place, as thousands of people fled to California to escape the dust and look for work. Most found only low-paying agricultural jobs. But there were those who refused to leave. For these farmers, a programme encouraged them to make use of new ways that would protect the precious topsoil from eroding. But bringing the soil back to life took time, and the farmers still needed rain. Rain meant more to the farmers than it ever had before. It meant a future.
1.Which of the following is the main cause of turning the Great Plains into the Dust Bowl
A.The land was over-farmed.
B.The high winds blew away good soil.
C.There was lasting drought for year.
D.There were many thick black sandstorms.
2.What does the underlined phrase in the second paragraph mean
A.Show up the grassland for farming.
B.Open up the grassland for farming.
C.Give up the grassland for farming.
D.Give out the grassland to the farmers.
3.How is the third paragraph mainly developed
A. By the time order. B. By giving examples.
C. By exploring causes and effects. D. By explaining the process.
4.What is mainly discussed in the last two paragraphs
A. Measures to be taken. B. Future of the destroyed region.
C. Results of the disaster. D. People's reaction to the disaster.
There is an old saying in China that goes, "The days of the Sanjiu period are the coldest days." The "Sanjiu period", which is in Minor Cold(小寒), refers to the third nine-day period (the 19th to the 27th day) after the day of the winter solstice(冬至). There are many different customs related to Minor Cold in China.
Eating hotpot
During Minor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend against the cold weather. Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton(炖羊肉) with soy sauce. But it is important to notice that too much spicy food may cause health problems.
Eating huangyacai
In Tianjin, there is a custom to have huangyacai, a kind of Chinese cabbage, during Minor Cold. There are large amounts of vitamins A and B in huangyacai. As huangyacai is fresh and tender, it is fit for frying, roasting and stewing.
Eating glutinous rice(糯米饭)
According to tradition, the Cantonese eat glutinous rice in the morning during Minor Cold. Cantonese add some fried preserved(腌制的) pork, sausages and peanuts and mix them into the rice.
Eating vegetable rice
In ancient times, people in Nanjing took Minor Cold quite seriously, but as time went by, the celebration of Minor Cold gradually disappeared. However, the custom of eating vegetable rice is still followed today. The rice is steamed and is unspeakably delicious. Among the ingredients, aijiaohuang(a kind of green vegetable), sausages and salted ducks are the specialties in Nanjing.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Last Sunday afternoon, Sandra and I were eager to meet up with a man on Detroit's east side to help him get ready for a job interview this week. But on the way, we spotted a dog lying near the road next to his owner. We thought he’d been hit by a car. My friend, Sandra Abrahamian, and I had assisted animal rescue groups before and we thought there might be something we could do, so we quickly pulled over to help.
His owner, a woman told us the dog's name is Bosco, and she was walking him over a mile in the heat to her new home. She said Bosco was an outside dog and no one would give him a ride to her new place. That's why she and a friend decided to walk the entire way. He was going from a life on a chain in one backyard to another. She said Bosco was having trouble breathing along the way, but they thought he could make it. But just a block away from their destination, Bosco fell down. We could tell he was suffering from heatstroke (中暑). She told us he had thrown up and could no longer stand. Bosco was out of breath quickly; his drool (口水) was also thick. Bosco's owner said she wanted to give him away because she didn't have time for him. She said he would never be allowed into her new "home" because her children have allergies (过敏症) and she worried he would dirty the carpet.
I made a call to Kristina Rinaldi of Detroit Dog Rescue to ask if they could help Bosco because it was clear that he was going to die without emergency care. To our happiness, Rinaldi said they could help. At once she told the people at Oakland Veterinary Referral Services that a dog which needed critical care was being rushed in and they must be ready to try their best to save him.
Paragraph 1 :
Sandra drove while I stayed in the back seat trying to comfort Bosco.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 :
So Bosco is now being called Roscoe, whose critical care and recovery were estimated to be several thousand dollars.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

语法答案：Learning; graduation; to produce; difficulties; that; greatly; is comprised; but; wealthy; Despite
解析：文章介绍了"杂交水稻之父"袁隆平对农业的贡献。
①考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,"①______ that farmers often had poor harvests and sometimes even had a serious shortage of food to eat"在句中作原因状语,learn与he之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,故应用动词-ing形式。
②考查词形转换。结合语境并根据空前的形容词性物主代词his可知,空处应填名词graduation。
③考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,"③______ more rice"作ways的定语,故应用动词不定式。
④考查名词复数。difficulty作"困难;难题;难事"讲时是可数名词,因其前没有限定词,应用复数形式,故填difficulties。
⑤考查定语从句。该句为含有定语从句的复合句,先行词为"the first hybrid rice",空处在定语从句中作主语指代先行词,又因为先行词被序数词first修饰,故空处填that。
⑥考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰动词expand,故应用副词。
⑦考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。该句陈述的是现在的事实,故应用一般现在时;当"分数/百分数+ of +n."作主语时,谓语动词的数与名词的数保持一致,因"domestic rice consumption"为不可数名词,故谓语动词应用单数形式。be comprised of是固定搭配,意为"由……组成"。
⑧考查连词。此处是not just... but...结构,表示"不只是……,还有……",故应用but。
⑨考查形容词。此处考查"make+宾语+宾补"结构。根据语境可知,空处应是形容词作宾补,故用wealthy,表示"富有的,富裕的"。
⑩考查介词。此处指尽管袁隆平年事已高,但他心态年轻,充满了远见。sb.'s advanced years意为"年事已高,高龄",与其后的"he is still young at heart"构成转折关系,故填Despite,表示"尽管,即使"。

Paragraph 1:
Sandra drove while I stayed in the back seat trying to comfort Bosco. I thought we lost him a couple of times when he was seemingly out of breath and his eyes seemed to close. By the time we arrived, Bosco was wheeled into the animal care center to receive emergency care. Bosco was put on oxygen and was taken good care of by staff there and we waited anxiously for the dog to get out of danger. Rinaldi said another dog in Detroit Dog Rescue had already been named Bosco, and sbe wanted this new member to have a new name for his new life.
Paragraph 2:
So Bosco is now being called Roscoe, whose critical care and recovery were estimated to be several thousand dollars. It would be difficult for Roscoe's new home to cover the costs as a non-profit organisation. Thankfully, many people who knew Roscoe's story on Detroit Dog Rescue's Facebook page donated money to his care. With the help of supporters, Detroit Dog Rescue managed to make it. Once Roscoe was in a stable state, Sandra and I returned to our original mission, knowing we had already been given the chance to help one desperate soul.
