A
I have never traveled ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )by plane but I would like to and I hope to have the opportunity very soon. Anyway, one can find advantages and disadvantages when traveling by plane.www.21-cn-jy.com
The most importan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t advantage is that it is the fastest means of transport when referring to long distance travel. One can arrive in Spain in almost two hours and a half by plane. He can't even figure out how time has passed and he has arrived at his destination. He does not have to wait three days in order to arrive in Spain by coach (长途公共汽车), which makes him feel pain in his legs and feel tired because he hasn't slept more than three hours in the last three days.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Then, think abo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut the conditions which are at_our_beck_and_call:_we are attended by a beautiful hostess who will take care of us on the flight. The comfort helps us forget about the possibility of some technical problems and of an undeserved accident.【出处：21教育名师】
Anyway, many p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eople feel scared when it comes to flying in a plane. They say that the risks of losing your life in plane travel are higher than in car travel.【版权所有：21教育】
Apart from this disadv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )antage, there are people who don't choose to travel by plane because they get altitude sickness and they think air fares are too high.21教育名师原创作品
One piece of advice I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) would like to give to people who choose to travel by plane is that they should not even think for a second about the plane crashing. Just relax, be comfortable and everything will be all right. Planes are well equipped and advanced technology tries to offer total protection to all passengers.

Sydney is one of the m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ost beautiful cities in the world and the 2000 Olympic Games put it on the map as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world. Any trip to Sydney is an adventure and with some of the world's most beautiful beaches, this city has so much to offer. Sydney is so large an area that choosing a hotel is something you need to do very carefully. Public transport is good, but it can be slow and being close to where you want to be is probably the most important factor.
The first and mos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t obvious choice is hotels around Circular Quay. Circular Quay is the heart of the city and one of the major interchanges where trains, buses and ferries meet. It's also where Sydney's two most famous landmarks are located — the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge. This area is active and offers some of the best views you will ever get from a hotel room.
The farther hotels ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in the city are much more suited to business travelers and they are usually less expensive. Darling Harbor is a great choice as it mixes a great view with being right in the centre of the city. Darling Harbor has hundreds of pubs, clubs and restaurants along the water's edge.
If you don't feel like ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) dealing with the hustle_and_bustle of the city and are looking for something a bit quieter, why not head out to the Northern Beaches. It's only a short ferry ride over to Manly where you can find two major hotels on the beach with a number of smaller boutiques (时装店，精品店)．
语篇解读　风光旖旎、交通便利、闻名遐迩的悉尼让你流连忘返。如何食宿？在哪里住宿？这里有各种条件的旅馆让你来选。
5．What made Sydney ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )famous as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world
A. Its traditional culture.
B. Its beaches and hotels.
C. The traffic system.
D. The 2000 Olympics.
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。由 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第一段中的“... and the 2000 Olympic Games put it on the map as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world.”可知答案为D项。
6．If you want ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to live in a quiet hotel and buy some fashionable clothes or expensive gifts, you should choose one in ________.21cnjy.com
A. Circular Quay
B. Darling Harbor
C. Manly
D. Sydney Harbor Bridge
答案与解析　C　由最后一段可知，要想找更安 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )静的地方，那就去Manly，在那里有许多时装店/精品店，自然可以买到“some fashionable clothes or expensive gifts”。
7．The underlined par ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t “hustle and bustle” in the last paragraph may refer to ________.
A. hot climate
B. serious pollution
C. busy noisy activity
D. slow moving traffic
答案与解析　C　词义理解题。由 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )最后一段中的“... and are looking for something a bit quieter”可推知“hustle and bustle”的意思应与quieter相对，故答案为C项。
C
Long long ago, there ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lived two brothers in a village. Their parents died and left them a farm. The elder son took everything except for a very small piece of land, a cat and a dog. The younger son had to use the cat and the dog to pull his plough (犁) because he did not have an ox (牛). They did not like this at all and cried out.
Near the farm ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), there was a mountain called Stone Mountain. A demon (魔鬼) lived on this mountain and people who looked at it carefully could see his face. When the Demon of Stone Mountain heard the cat and the dog crying out, he looked down. He thought a cat and a dog looked funny pulling a plough. He opened his mouth and laughed.
The younger son h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eard the demon's laughter. He looked up and saw inside the demon's huge, open mouth, it was full of gold and silver. Quickly, he ran up the mountain and hurried inside the demon's mouth. There, he collected a little of the gold and silver and then hurried out again. Now he could buy himself a house, a larger piece of land and an ox to pull his plough.
His brother soo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n found out what had happened. He immediately got the cat and the dog and used them to pull his plough near Stone Mountain. Once again, the demon opened his mouth to laugh at the sight of a cat and a dog pulling a plough. Quickly, the elder brother ran into the demon's mouth and began filling his bags with gold and silver.
He was so busy th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at he forgot about the cat and the dog, and it was not long before the two animals lay down to rest. As soon as this happened, the Demon of Stone Mountain stopped laughing and closed his mouth. The elder brother was kept inside and was never seen again.
语篇解读　本文是记叙文。文章通过讲述兄弟二人从魔鬼嘴里拿财宝的故事告诉我们：贪多必失。
8．The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 1 refers to “________”．
A. the two brothers B. the oxen
C. the cat and the dog D. the two brothers' parents
答案与解析　C　代词指代题。由前一句可知，弟 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )弟出于无奈，只能让猫和狗帮助他犁地。猫狗不喜欢这样，所以开始哭泣。第二段中的the cat and the dog crying out也是提示。21*cnjy*com
9．The elder b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rother used the cat and the dog to pull his plough to ________.
A. have some fun
B. punish the two animals
C. help his younger brother
D. get treasure from the demon
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。根据第四段可知，哥哥知道了弟弟有钱的秘密，也开始用猫和狗犁地，好让山上的魔鬼也张开大嘴露出财宝。
10．What happened at the end of the story
A. The younger brother led a very poor life.
B. The cat and the dog were eaten by the demon.
C. The elder brother remained in the demon's mouth.
D. The demon helped the younger brother plough the field.
答案与解析　C　细节理解题。由文章末句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )The elder brother was kept inside and was never seen again可知，哥哥留在了魔鬼的嘴里。

答案与解析　
16．C　根据文章首句teenagers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) start learning how to drive at fifteen可以推知，他们16岁就被“允许(allowed)”考驾照了。21世纪教育网版权所有
17．B　文章多次出现的license提示了本题答案。
18．A　根据本句中作者的年龄eig ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hteen years old，再结合第一段中提到的正常考驾照的年龄at sixteen可知，其他人要比作者“小(younger)”。
19．C　根据下一句中的I tried to calm down可知，作者参加考试时很紧张，因此在“发抖(shaking)”。2-1-c-n-j-y
20．D　因为紧张，作者想平静下来，因此是安慰自己：“如果(if)”这次过不了，冬天还可以再考。
21．A　根据However一词可知，虽然作者在安慰自己，但是仍然不能“停止(stop)”出汗。
22．B　作者在第二段描述了 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )自己紧张的状态，结合本段中对他参加钢琴表演的叙述可知，这是另外一次让他感到非常紧张的情况，故nervous符合此处语境。
23．D　因为是在回忆，所以说作者“记得(remember)”那次表演时感到窒息。
24．C　由于紧张，手指冒汗，因此作者“演砸(ruined)”了。
25．A　想到上次失败的情形，作者担心这次再出现“同样的(same)”情况。
26．D　因为是驾照考试，所以说考试时教官上了“车(car)”。
27．B　根据本句中的and felt co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nfident及下文中的I was sure可以看出，作者并没有失控，故in control符合此处语境。
28．A　全篇讲的主要是作者此次考驾照的经历，因此这里应该是说六分钟后“考试(test)”结束了。
29．D　根据上文可知，作者考试时很自信，表现很好，所以他确信自己“通过了(passed)”此次考试。
30．B　作者在参加考试，父亲应该是在“等着(waiting for)”他。
31．A　父亲此次的陪伴让作者想起了他五岁时父亲“教(taught)”他学骑自行车时的情形。
32．C　学骑自行车时作者才五岁，而此时已经18岁了，因此作者是在感慨“怎么(How)”就已经过去13年了呢？
33．D　汽车与自行车相比速度“更快(faster)”，也会把作者带到离父亲越来越远的地方。
34．B　见下题解析。
35．C　根据本段第二句话It was a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bout not disappointing people可知，作者想了这么多后，“突然(Suddenly)”体会到，这不仅仅是通过一次考试的事情了，这个驾照与作者所想的相比“意味着(means)”更多的含义。
第二节　语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

答案与解析　
语篇解读 　初到加拿大的作者一家第一次见到雪后兴奋异常。作者和邻居家的孩子们快乐地玩雪。儿时的您有这样的经历吗？
36．began　所填词在句中作谓语，根据句中语境可知下雪是过去的动作，故用一般过去时态。填begin 的过去式began。
37．and　空格前后是顺承的动作looked 和saw, 应用表顺承的连词and连接。

39．that　空格及空格后面的从句作动词learned的宾语，空格后面的从句中在结构和意义上均完整，故用 that 引导宾语从句。
40．finally　空格后是谓语gave in，故空格处填副词作状语修饰谓语。故填final的副词形式finally。
41．When　根据句意“当我们出去时，雪已停了”可知该处用when引导时间状语从句。
42．most beautiful ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )根据空格前的定冠词the和语境“那是我们所见过的最美丽的景色”可知该处填形容词beautiful 的最高级形式 most beautiful。
43．children　根据空格前的名词修饰语some 可知该空填所给名词的复数形式children。
44．sliding　根据take turns doing sth.“轮流做某事”的用法可知该空填动名词作宾语。
45．us　空格处所填词在句中作宾语，应填代词；根据语境可知妈妈不得不逼迫我们回家吃午饭。结合句子结构和语境可知该空填宾格代词us。

I_am_glad_to_kno ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w_that_you_are_going_to_study_in_Canada,_so_I_am_writing_to_tell_you_something_about_this_country. Canada is the world's second largest country with an area of 9.98 million square kilometers. It has the largest number of lakes which provide more fresh water than any other country in the world. It is generally cold with a lot of snow in long winters. I suggest that you (should) choose to study in the west, where there aren't so many international students and the tuition is lower. Vancouver is a good choice, for it is Canada's warmest and most beautiful city, surrounded by mountains and the Pacific Ocean. 【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】

单元测评(六)　综合质量测评
(时间：90分钟　满分：110分)
第一部分　阅读理解(共两节；满分30分)
第一节　(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20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。
A
One of New York's most ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) beautiful and valuable buildings is in danger. The New York Public Library, in the heart of the city at 42nd Street and 5th Avenue, may have to close its door.
The library is a very ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) special place. Even though it is in the busiest part of the city, it has grass and trees around it, and benches for people to sit on. Even more unusual in crowded New York, its rooms are very large. The roof of the main reading room is fifty one feet high. Here, the readers can sit and think and work in comfort.
The library ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )has over thirty million books and paintings. It owns one of the first copies of a Shakespeare's play, a Bible printed by Gutenberg in the 15th century and a letter written by Columbus in which he told the finding of the new world.
Every New Yorker can see and use the library's riches free.
But the cost of runn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing the library has risen rapidly in recent years, and the library does not have enough money to continue its work. In the past, it was open every evening and also on Saturdays and Sundays. Now it is closed at those times to save money.
The library is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )trying in every possible way to raise more money to meet its increasing costs. Well known New York writers and artists are trying to help it, so are the universities, whose students use the library, and the governments of New York City and New York State. But the problem remains serious.
Yet a way must b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e found to save the library because as one writer said, “The Public Library is the most important building in New York City — it contains all our knowledge.”
1．When is the library open now
A. It's open every day from morning to evening.
B. It's open every day except Sunday from morning to evening.
C. It's open every day except weekends from morning to evening.
D. It's closed every evening.
答案与解析　C　细节理解 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )题。第五段第二句“In the past, it was open every evening and also on Saturdays and Sundays.”以及第三句“Now, it is closed at those times to save money.”即“每天晚上和周六、周日不开放”，故选C项。
2．Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. There are so many books to work with in the library.
B. It's impossible ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to grow grass and trees in the heart of New York.
C. The library's costs are going down.
D. The library needs more books and paintings.
答案与解析　A　细节理解题。文章第二段第二句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“... it has grass and trees around it ...”，第三段第一句“... has over thirty million books and paintings ...”以及第六段第一句中“... its increasing costs”分别排除答案B、D、C三项，故只能选A项。
3．How much does a New Yorker have to pay to use the library
A. He doesn't have to pay anything to use the library.
B. He used to pay ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nothing but now has to pay a little money to use the library.
C. He has to pay its increasing costs.
D. Every New Yorker ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )can visit the library's riches free, and use it with paying.
答案与解析　A　细节理解题。文章第四段中“free”即为“免费”之意，动词是现在时态，因此现在也不必付钱，故选A项。
4．Why is it important to save the library
A. Because it is one of New York's most valuable buildings.
B. Because it contains all the knowledge.
C. Because there are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a lot of rooms, which readers can sit and think in comfort.

答案与解析　B　推理判断 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )题。文章最后一段中“The Public Library is the most important building in New York City — it contains all our knowledge.”是一个因果句，句中的破折号相当于“because”，正因为“它装着人类的知识”才值得去拯救，故选B项。21·cn·jy·com
B
It's time to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) do something for your father — the man who for many people has been an encouragement and support since birth.
The third Sunday of J ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )une is Father's Day. The holiday honors not only fathers, but also all men who act as father figures, such as stepfathers, uncles and grandfathers.
The idea of Fat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her's Day came from the love and appreciation of an American lady called Sonore Smart Dodd in 1909.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Dodd wanted a speci ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )al day to honor her father, William Smart. He raised six children by himself on a countryside farm in Washington after his wife died during the birth of their sixth child.
When Dodd be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )came an adult, she realized the selflessness her father has shown in raising his children as a single parent.
It was her fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ther who did all for his children. In the eyes of his daughter, William Smart was a courageous, selfless and loving man.
Dodd's father w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Washington on June 19th, 1910.
In 1924, US Pres ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ident Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Finally, in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson declared the third Sunday of June as Father's Day.
So this is a perfect ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) chance to let your father know what he means to you. To show your love and respect, you need not buy an expensive gift. You can send him a home made card; you can call him every day; even you can give him a sweet smile when he comes back from work. All these little things are easy for us to do, but they can show your care and love for your father.

A new World Bank repo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rt warns that children who do not get enough good food in the first two years of life suffer lasting damage. They may be under developed or under weight. They may suffer from poor health or poor intelligence. In addition, these children are more likely to drop out of school and earn less money as adults.2·1·c·n·j·y
At the same time, it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )notes that too little food is not the only cause of poor nutrition (营养). Many children may suffer for other reasons. For example, the study says that mothers often fail to give their newly born babies their first breast milk. This “milk” is called colostrum (初乳). It can improve a baby's ability to fight infections (传染病) and disease.
The study also lin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ks malnutrition (营养不良) to economic growth in poor countries. A lack of nutrition in early childhood can cost developing nations up to three percent of their yearly earnings. The study suggests that poor countries could possibly double their economic growth if they improved nutrition.
Africa and South A ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sia are affected the most by poor nutrition. The study says about half of all children in India do not get enough good food. The World Bank study also notes that rates of malnutrition in South Asia are almost double those in central and southern Africa. Other parts of the world are also seriously affected, including Indonesia, Guatemala and Peru.
The study adv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ises that developing countries change their policies to deal with malnutrition. Instead of directly providing food, the study suggests educational programs in health and nutrition for mothers with young babies. It also advises cleaner living conditions and improvements in health care.
5．According to Para ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )graph 1, if a child is affected by malnutrition, he may suffer the following EXCEPT ________.
A. poor health B. low intelligence
C. poor salary D. infections
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的内容可知营养不良会让人健康差、智力低，容易辍学，成年后赚钱少，并未提及D项。

A. Malnutrition affects economic growth in poor countries.
B. Yearly earnings have something to do with poor nutrition.
C. Colostrum plays a great role in the growth of newly born babies.
D. Malnutrition happens only in Africa and South Asia.
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。根据第四段末句可知选项D项错误。

24．C　根据下文的This can't be good可知，森林医生“摇摇(shake)”头，觉得那样子不好。
25．B　根据前面的Animals don ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )'t wear clothes和最后一段的they didn't need clothes at all可知，动物本就不穿衣服，他们根本不“需要(need)”衣服。
26．C　根据后面的didn't ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) know what was popular可知，森林里的动物不认同医生的看法，觉得他不懂“时尚(fashion)”，根本不知道现在流行什么。

第二节　语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Do you eat three meals one day, as your parents tell you to
Or do you somet ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )imes just eat snacks instead of having a full meal because you're too lazy 36.________ (cook) or go out to buy food

Now, make sure th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at you eat three meals one day, and you 45.________ (keep) healthy.
答案与解析　
语篇解读　这是一篇关于人们是否用零食代替饮食的调查报告。从这个调查报告我们可以看出跳过正常饭而吃零食对身体一点好处也没有。
36. to cook　根据固定句式“be＋too＋形容词＋to do sth.”“太……而不能……”可知该处填动词不定式。
37．Americans　根据语境可知该空所填词指“美国人”，又根据该句前的14%可知该空填名词的复数形式Americans。21·cn·jy·com
38．at　at least “至少”为固定的介词短语搭配。
39．unhealthy　根据上下文语境可知“不吃饭不健康”，故该空填形容词healthy的反义词unhealthy。
40．getting　keep sb./st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h. from doing sth.“阻止某人/某物作某事”可知该处应用动名词作介词from的宾语。
41．other　on the other hand“另一方面”。
42．When　句意：当你吃零食而不是吃正餐时，你就更可能不知道你吃了多少。根据句意可知该处应用when引导时间状语从句。
43．a　as a result“结果”，为固定的介词短语搭配。
44．weight　分析句子结构可知空格后应填名词作动词gain的宾语。故该空填动词weigh的名词形式weight“重量”。
45. will keep　这是一个“祈使句＋and/or＋简单句”结构，在这个简单句中常用一般将来时态。
第三部分　写作(共两节，满分35分)

Dear_friends，
As_we_all_know,_we_are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )_what_we_eat._Therefore,_it's_very_important_for_us_to_form_healthy_eating_habits. However, bad eating habits are still very common among us students. Some don't have breakfast. Some prefer snacks. Some are particular about food and some eat or drink too much. All these bad habits will surely do harm to our health.
To keep fit, we sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ould have various healthy diets, which generally include proper amounts of fish, meat, vegetables, fruit as well as main food. Besides, we'd better have meals at a regular time and proper amount. If we get into good habits of eating meals, it will benefit us a lot. In addition, good eating habits can protect us from all kinds of illnesses.2-1-c-n-j-y
In my opinion, we shou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld try to develop healthy eating habits to build up a strong body. After all, health is the most important in our life. Only in this way can we have enough energy to study better.
That's_all._Thank_you!

“What How are we goi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng to do this？” thought Lusya Mae Engen, a student in Yasmin's class.21教育名师原创作品
But the kids soon learned what their teacher meant.
“We're trying to get ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )people to talk with the trees through technology，” said Lusya.
First, the st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )udents picked their own trees. Then, each student had to learn all about his or her tree, like how tall it was, how the tree's leaves felt and looked, and during what season it flowered. To get all the information, they used the Internet and some math.
Next, the students ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wrote what they had learned about their trees and they recorded their own voices talking as if they were their trees, telling people all about who they were. That was the technology part.
“It was really co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ol to connect technology with nature，” said Azur Walla, another student in the class.
The kids named th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eir trees things like Dog ‘N’ Woods, Harlo Tree or Freddy. They also added their own creative voices to the project, and asked people looking at the trees to sing a song in their shade (阴凉处) or give the trees a hug (拥抱)．
“My name is Charlotte. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I was given this name by my friend Brooke. She is really nice and tries to visit me every day. What is your name？” Then “Charlotte” tells the listener all about her leaves, and how big she is. She ends by saying: “I hope you come back to visit me because of course I can't come to you.”
The project t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ook a whole year to complete. The kids met about once a week to work on it. Now visitors can visit the Lowell school grounds during off school hours and take the tree tour with their cellphones by calling a phone number that is on a sign next to 22 trees.

答案与解析　
16.C'根据前面信息可知此时是狂欢节，而且下文也提到人们在举行晚会来庆祝。故选C项。
17.A　表示在某方面，应该用in。这里指不同颜色的衣服。
18.B　根据前面的信息很容易判断出此处表示因果关系，故用therefore。
19.A　根据后面的at可知此处应选arrived。
20.B　“wear”一词除了表示“穿戴”状态外，还可以表示“佩戴首饰”。
21.D　根据from the manager可知此处表示“得知”，故选D项。
22.C　pay“支付”与spend“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )花费”通常用人来作主语；而take“需要”意义不符，只有cost“价钱为；需花费”用物作主语，所以答案选C项。21世纪教育网版权所有
23.A　他们兄妹为晚会做好了充分的准备，所以选A项，此处表示状态，而不是动作。
24.B　根据下文have dinner可知应该是在餐馆里。
25.D'由下文可知迪安娜丢了钻石，她发现后肯定会screaming“尖叫”。
26.C　gone“丢失的；不见的”；而lost强调“遗失；迷路”。此处表示钻石被偷，应该是不见了，所以选C项。21·cn·jy·com
27.A　根据25空可知此处表示大声喊叫，应用cry一词，再根据and不难看出此处缺少并列谓语动词。所以A项为正确答案。
28.B　迪安娜丢失了钻石，这个黑衣盗贼肯定是带着钻石逃跑。
29.A　文章第2个空已经告诉我们来参加晚会的人们穿着不同颜色的衣服，所以应用colorful一词表示“五彩缤纷的”。21*cnjy*com
30.B　因为街上满是狂欢的人们，所以追赶小偷就很难了。
31.D　小偷怕被抓，肯定疯狂逃跑，文章并没有交代小偷开车或骑车。
32.C　前文交代小偷在跑的过程中摔倒，这兄妹两人赶快坐到小偷身上把他抓住。
33.C　警察抓住小偷后会把他送往监狱。故C项为正确选项。
34.A　凯莉和史蒂夫帮助迪安娜找回了丢失的钻石，她肯定会表示感谢。
35.B　根据句意：这是他们过得最好的狂欢节，根据最高级可以知道，此处表示“曾经”之意，故用ever。2·1·c·n·j·y
第二节　语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
It was Mothe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r's Day morning last year. My five year old son, Tenyson, and I 36.________ (leave)the supermarket after shopping, when an old woman fell over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground. Her husband was with her, but the woman was 37.________ (serious) hurt and shaking with pain.
At the front of t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he supermarket a charity (慈善) group was selling flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we 38.________ ( buy) the lady a flower. “It will make 39.________ feel better，” he said. I was amazed that he'd come up 40.________ such a sweet idea. So we went to the flower seller to buy a flower for the lady.
By now rescu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers had arrived, and were attending the 41.________ (injure)woman. As we walked up to her, my son became frightened by all the blood and medical 42.________(equip). He said he was just too scared to go up to her.
Instead I gave th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e flower to the woman's husband 43.________ told him, “ My son was very upset for your wife and bought her this flower to cheer her up.”
At that, the old ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) man was moved and said, “Thank you so much, you have a good son. Happy Mother's Day to you.”
The man then gave ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) his wife the flower, 44.________ (tell) her who it was from. 45.________ badly hurt, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with thanks in her eyes and gave him a little smile.
答案与解析　
语篇解读　作者带儿子去购物 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，在超市门口看见一位摔倒了的老妇人。善良的儿子为老妇人买了一朵花使她高兴起来。作者旨在借本文向我们传递人与人之间互相关心的正能量。
36.were leaving ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )　根据语境可知作者和孩子正要离开超市时，一个老妇人摔倒在地碰破了头。leave为过去某时间内正发生的动作，应用过去进行时。
37.seriously　空格后是动词hurt，应用副词修饰；故填形容词serious的副词形式seriously。
38.(should) buy　suggest 作“建议”讲时后接宾语从句谓语用should do形式，should可以省略。
39. her 　空格处缺少宾语，应填代词。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )结合语境可知该句表儿子建议买朵花送给老妇人让她心情好点。故该空填宾格代词her代指 the old woman。
40. with　come up with “想出”。
41.injured　分析句子成分可 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )知所给词在句中作定语修饰名词woman，又injure 与其逻辑主语woman为被动关系，故填过去分词 injured作定语。2-1-c-n-j-y
42. equipmen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t　空格处所填词在句中与blood 并列作介词by的宾语，故该空填动词equip的名词形式 equipment “设备”。
43. and　空格前后为并列的动作gave和told，表“和”之意，故填连词and。
44. telling　 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )本句已有谓语gave，故该空应填非谓语。所给词 tell与其逻辑主语 the old man 之间为主动关系，故用现在分词形式作伴随状语。
45. Though/Althoug ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h　句意：尽管受伤严重，老妇人满含感激地看了看我的儿子。根据句意可知该处填Though/Although引导让步状语从句。

单元测评(四)　Unit 4　Astronomy: the science of the stars【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
(时间：90分钟　满分：110分)
第一部分　阅读理解(共两节；满分30分)
第一节　(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20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。
A
Allie saw a little b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ird, which rested on a light close to the store's ceiling.
As a man left the st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ore, the automatic (自动的) door opened. The bird flew down toward it. Allie held her breath, afraid the bird would crash into the closing door.
But it didn't. It fi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nally landed on top of a mountain of tomato juice cans, looking nervous.
Allie raced to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he door, opening it. “Come on, little bird！” she cried, waving her arms. “You can fly away now.”【出处：21教育名师】
The bird look ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed at Allie but didn't move. Mr. Andrews saw this and said, “Let me try.” He stood in the open doorway for a moment. Then he called, “Come on, little fellow. Don't be afraid！”
The bird didn't m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ove. “I'm sorry, but I have to go，” said Mr. Andrews. He left, and the door closed.
Allie and Mom ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )continued shopping. Allie felt terrible each time she heard the birdcall!
Finally, she ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and Mom arrived at the checkout (收银台) and she saw the bird was on the tomato juice cans again, watching the doorway.
Outside, Mrs. Sanche ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )z was coming near the store entrance in her wheelchair (轮椅). She paused in the open doorway and slowly bent down to clean dirt off her shoes.
This was the bird's chance!
Allie called quietly, “Mrs. Sanchez, hold still, please！”
Mrs. Sanchez looked puzzled.
After she looked at the bird Allie pointed to, she gave Allie a nod.
Seeing that, Alli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e's bird flew fast right over Mrs. Sanchez's head and out the door.
Mrs. Sanchez sat up ag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ain. “Thanks, Mrs. Sanchez! You helped my bird get out！” Allie cried.
Then she ran ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to the window. She watched the bird join its friends who were lined up on the wall, waiting, and then fly up into the sky.
语篇解读　本文是记叙文。文章讲述了一位名叫Allie的小女孩帮助困在商店里的小鸟飞出去的故事。
1．What was Allie doing when she first saw the little bird
A. She was drinking tomato juice.
B. She was planning to leave the store.
C. She was shopping with her mother.
D. She was standing on top of a mountain.
答案与解析　C　推理判断题。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )根据下文中的“Allie and Mom continued shopping”可推测，看到那只鸟时，Allie正跟她妈妈在商店里购物。
2．Mr. Andrews had a try at ________.
A. catching the bird
B. comforting the bird
C. closing the store's door
D. helping the bird fly away
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。由上文A ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llie打开门想让小鸟飞出去以及下文Mr. Andrews站在门口让门打开的动作可知，他试着帮助小鸟从商店飞出去。
3．What does the underlined word “paused” in the text mean
A. Searched. B. Stood.
C. Succeeded. D. Stopped.
答案与解析　D　词义猜测题。由该词 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )所在段落的内容以及下文中的“Mrs.Sanchez，hold still，please ... You helped my bird get out”可知，坐着轮椅进商店的Sanchez夫人只有停在商店门口，自动门才能保持开着，小鸟才能飞出去。故paused此处意为“停住”。
4．When Allie wat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ched the bird join its friends, she probably felt very ________.
A. bored B. happy
C. proud D. nervous
答案与解析　B　推理判断题。根据全文内 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )容，尤其是“Allie felt terrible each time she heard the birdcall”可知，Allie一直想帮助困在商店里的小鸟飞出去，当她自己跟Andrews先生的尝试都失败后，她很难过，所以当在Sanchez夫人的帮助下，小鸟终于飞出去以后，她应该是感到高兴。
B
The earth is the onl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y planet that scientists think has life. Why does the earth have life while the other planets (行星) don't For one thing, the earth is just the right temperature. As the_third_planet from the sun, the earth seems to be just the right distance away. The planets which are closer to the sun are hot that their surfaces bake (烘烤) in the sun. The farthest planets are cold balls.
When the earth d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eveloped — which scientists believe may have happened about 4 billion years ago — many gases covered the earth. The gases caused the earth to be hot. But something wonderful happened. The temperature was just right for thick clouds to form. It rained very hard for a very long time. This gave the earth its oceans. Water made it possible for plants to grow. The plants created oxygen in the atmosphere. Oxygen is the gas that humans and animals breathe.
Only one other ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) planet in the solar system seems to be something like the earth. That planet is Mars (火星). Mars is smaller than the earth, and it is quite a bit cooler. But it is not too cold for humans. On some days, the temperatures are as low as a winter day in the northern United States. If you wore a special space suit, you could walk around on Mars. You would have to bring your own air to breathe, the air on Mars is too thin to breathe.
Mars has the largest ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) volcano (火山) in the solar system. It is sixteen miles high. The highest volcano on the earth is five miles high. The most unexpected (未预测到的) sight on Mars is dried up river beds. Scientists believe that Mars was once much better than it is now. Does this mean there could have been living things on Mars Scientists are not sure, but there has been no sign so far.
5．Which of the following is NOT the reason that the earth has life
A. The earth is just the right temperature.
B. The volcanos on earth are lower than those on Mars.
C. There is oxygen in the atmosphere of the earth.
D. The earth seems to be just the right distance away from the sun.
答案与解析　B　细节理解题。文中提到地球 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )是可证实的唯一有生命存在的太阳系行星，其原因包括地球合适的温度、距太阳距离适中和大气里含有氧气等。B项火山与此无关。
6．The underlined phr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ase “the third planet” in the first paragraph refers to ________.
A. the Sun B. the Moon
C. the Earth D. the Mars
答案与解析　C　词义猜测题。根据第一段中内容可知距离太阳第三远的行星指的是地球。
7．Which of the following about the Mars is NOT true
A. There could have been living things on Mars.
B. Mars has the largest volcano in the solar system.
C. There is almost no oxygen in the air on Mars.
D. Mars is smaller than the earth, and it is quite a bit cooler.
答案与解析　A　细节理解题。文章最 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )后一段提到火星上有干涸的河床的迹象，但这一点并不能证实火星上存在生命，因为还没有生命迹象，故A项不正确。其他三项都与文章相符。
C

( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
语篇解读　放假了，让孩子们做些什么对健康有益的活动呢？跳水、划船、冲浪，还是体操呢？
8．If you are a child of seven, you should choose ________.
A. Diving B. Sailing
C. Surfing D. Gymnastics
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。参加跳水、划船、冲浪运动的年龄要求分别是13岁以上、8岁以上和8岁以上，而体操的年龄要求是4岁以上，所以选D。
9．If you have a 10 hour course in diving, you should pay ________.
A. ￡ 100 B. ￡ 300
C. ￡ 90 D. ￡ 60
答案与解析　C　数字计算题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。由Diving中的“￡10 an hour. The first lesson, which lasts one hour, is usually free if you decide to carry on.”可知，每小时10英镑，如果决定继续学的话第一个小时免费，所以上10个小时的课需要付90英镑。
10．If you want to increase your confidence, you can call ________.
A. 084 512 97129
B. 015 096 18700
C. 016 378 50737
D. 084 534 50400
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。由S ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ailing中的“Sailing is great for building confidence ...”可知答案为D。

I'd greatly appreciate it if I could have the chance to make friends with her/him.2·1·c·n·j·y

C
A herring (鲱鱼) o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nce decided to swim right around the world. “I'm tired of the North Sea，” she said.“I want to find out what else there is in the world.” So she swam off south. Once she was nearly eaten by a shark.
But she swam ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) on and on. Round the tip of Africa and into the Indian Ocean, she was amazed by the different shapes and sizes and colors of other fishes. And on she swam through the wide Pacific. Then she turned north and finally she swam home into her own North Sea.
All her friends and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )relations gathered around. They had a big feast and offered her the very best food they could find, but the herring said, “I've swum around the whole world, and I've eaten more wonderful dishes than you could possibly imagine.” And she refused to eat anything. Then her friends and relations asked her to come home and live with them. But she refused.“I've been everywhere and that old rock is too dull and small for me.”And she went off and lived on her own.
When the breedin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g (繁殖) season came, she refused to join in the spawning (产卵), saying, “I know how many fishes there are in the world. I can't be interested in herrings anymore.”
Finally, one old ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) herring swam up to her and said, “Listen, if you don't spawn with us, some herring eggs will not turn into healthy young herrings. If you don't live with your family, you'll make them sad and if you don't eat, you'll die.”
But the herr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing said, “I don't mind. I've seen everything there is to see, and now I know everything there is to know.”
“I don't know，” said the old herring. “But there may be something.”
Just then, a fi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )shing boat came by, and all the herrings were caught in a net and taken to market that day. A man bought the herring and ate her for his supper, and he never knew that she had swum right around the world and had seen everything there was to see, and knew everything there was to know.
语篇解读　本文是记叙文。一条鲱鱼环游全球之后认为自己见识了整个世界，没想到最后却落入渔网被人买走当作晚餐吃掉。
8．How can we describe the herring's trip around the world
A. Exciting. B. Helpful.
C. Peaceful. D. Disappointing.
答案与解析　A　推理判断题。由第二段中的she was amazed by ...可知，旅途是激动人心的。
9．It can be inferred from the text that the old herring ________.
A. worked hard
B. was very wise
C. knew a boat was coming
D. worried a lot about the eggs
答案与解析　B　推理判断题。由倒数第二段老鲱鱼说的话和最后一段鲱鱼们被捕捞的事实可知，老鲱鱼是有智慧的。21·cn·jy·com
10．The text seems to tell us that ________.
A. all rivers run into the sea
B. all time is no time when it is past
C. a common danger causes common action
D. behind the mountains there's a bigger mountain
答案与解析　D　写作意图题。作 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )者写这篇文章主要通过一条自以为见多识广的鲱鱼被捕获的故事告诉大家，山外有山，不能太自负。A项意为“殊途同归”； B项意为“机不可失，时不再来”； C项意为“同舟共济”。【出处：21教育名师】

Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forge ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit — and that can be a very annoying thing. __11__ Read on for some techniques worth trying.
1．__12__
People who regularly ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. __13__ Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do.

Mildly raised gl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. __14__
3．Learn something new.
Take a Spanish clas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. __15__ Or go dancing with your friends.
A. Focus on the future.
B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.
C. It should be something like learning gardening.www-2-1-cnjy-com
D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.
E. But don't worry i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f your schedule isn't filled with life changing events.
F. Luckily, re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )search shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.

答案与解析　
16．A　结合下文可知狄更斯最开始写书是因为自己爱好，而不是为了家庭、朋友或学校。
17．C　be willing to do sth.“愿意做某事”。他想可能有人会愿意读他写的故事，因此他才给出版商寄稿件。【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
18．D　由后文“The publisher did not know who wrote them”可知狄更斯没在稿件上签名。
19．A　others在此泛指其他的故事。
20．B　因为出版社不知道稿件的作者是谁，狄更斯自然也不会收到“receive”稿费。
21．D　看到他的书出版了，他很高兴。
22．C　publishing company出版公司。
23．B　hire sb. to do sth.雇用某人做某事。
24．A　动词的 ing形式作定语，修饰前边的The Pickwick Papers。
25．D　as引导时间状语从句，相当于when。《匹克威克外传》描述了匹克威克先生和他的朋友们在伦敦游历时的冒险经历。
26．C　固定句式：It is＋adj.＋for sb. to do sth.“做某事对某人来说是……的”。
27．B　know so much about ...“对……很了解”。
28．A　动词需用副词修饰，sell well“畅销”。
29．C　既然他的书很畅销，想必他不用再受穷了。

31．D　人们喜欢读他的文章。
32．C　earn one's living“谋生”，他的写作技巧使他得以谋生。

34．D　a large ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )number of“大量的”，适合语境；a few“一些”，few“几乎没有”，不符合上下文语意；当修饰的名词前没有定冠词、形容词性物主代词等限定词时，many直接修饰名词，不用加of。
35．B　空格处及后文作定语从句，先行词既有人又有物，且关系词在从句中作名词性成分，只能用that引导。
第二节　语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)

37．with　provide sb. with sth.“提供某人某物”。
38．a　该空填不定冠词a，表泛指。

42．Whenever/When　句意：无论 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )何时/当你在真实的生活中遇见一个相似的问题时，你的大脑就能把解决疑难的能力尝试一下。根据句意可知该空填whenever或when。www.21-cn-jy.com
43．your　该空填物主代词your修饰mind。
44．better　根据上下文语境可知读书让人善辩，故该空应用比较级，填better。

Not only can I enjoy the beautiful designs of stamps, but also I can gain many knowledge from it. I am glad to know you also like collecting the stamps. I hope we shall often exchange the stamps of our two countries. I hope we'll be friend for ever.

The long term use of computers causes many students to suffer loss of memory. Their interest in studying also drops greatly.21教育名师原创作品
How can we get teenag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers back to a normal life I think it a good idea to help them form the habit of reading. On the one hand, reading can broaden teenagers' horizons. On the other hand, reading can deepen their understanding of the events happening at home and abroad. Besides, they will get good grades in their exams.
Let's pick up a book and read!
Thank_you!
