人教版高一英語必修一Unit2測試試題(2)
第三部分 閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。
A
What is language for?Some people seem to think it’s for practising grammar rules and learning lists of words-the longer the lists,the better.That’s wrong.Language is for the exchange(交流)of ideas and information.It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely.Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules,but they can’t speak correctly or fluently(流利地).They are afraid of making mistakes.One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language.Native speakers make mistakes and break rules,too.Bernard Shaw once wrote,“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.”But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make.They’re English mistakes in the English language.And if enough native speakers break a rule,it is no longer a rule.What used to be wrong,becomes right.People not only make history,they make language.But a people can only make its own language.It can’t make another people’s language.So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar,but they shouldn’t overdo(做過頭)it.They should put communication(交際)first.
56.Language is used to________.
A.express oneself
B.practise grammar rules
C.talk with foreigners only
D.learn lists of words
解析:選A。細節(jié)理解題。由第四句“Language is for the exchange of ideas and information.”可知語言是用來交流的,因此應選擇express oneself,其含義是“表達自己的意圖;讓別人明白自己”。
57.Generally,when an American or an Englishman speaks English,he or she________.
A.never makes mistakes
B.often makes mistakes
C.can’t avoid making mistakes
D.always makes mistakes
解析:選C。文中提到“Native speakers make mistakes and break rules,too”,而且下文也提到類似的情況,所以答案為C項,“不可避免地犯錯誤”。
58.The sentence“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.”means that________.
A.foreigners speak correct English
B.foreigners speak incorrect English
C.foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules
D.foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English
解析:選C。根據(jù)上下文可知,母語不是英語的人在學英語時,首先要學許多的語法規(guī)則,所以他們說話時總是套規(guī)則。
59.When we speak a foreign language,we should________.
A.speak in Chinese way
B.speak by the rules
C.speak to native speakers
D.not be afraid of making mistakes
解析:選D。推理判斷題。通過文章我們知道語言的作用是交流,而且更明確在學習外語時,我們不僅要學語法,更重要的是學會使用這種語言交往,當然不能怕犯錯誤。
B
Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes?Let’s have a look.
People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies.We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants.Sometimes,people may get caught with their pants down.They are found doing something they should not be doing.And,in every family,one person takes control.Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do.Then we say she wears the pants in the family.
Pants usually have pockets to hold things.Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket.Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants.If you have less money than usual,you may have to tighten your belt.
I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much.I really take my hat off to them.Yet,when it comes to my own money,I spend it at the drop of a hat,which means I instantly spend it.
Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes.People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are.I dislike such people.
My father is an important person.He runs a big company.He wears a suit and tie,and a shirt with sleeves that cover his arms.Some people who do not know him well think he is too serious and never shows his feelings openly.But I know that my father wears his heart on his sleeve.
【解題導語】 本文向我們介紹了一些英語中與衣服有關(guān)的表達。
60.What is this passage mainly about?
A.What pants mean in English.
B.Some special English expressions.
C.Some funny English expressions.
D.Some expressions related to clothes.
解析:選D。主旨大意題。通讀全文,可知主要向我們介紹了一些英語中與衣服有關(guān)的表達,故選D。
61.Which of the following expressions can show someone is nervous?
A.Get caught with one’s pants down.
B.Have ants in one’s pants.
C.Wear the pants in the family.
D.Burn a hole in one’s pocket.
解析:選B。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants.可知應選B。
62.If we say someone has to tighten his belt,we probably mean he________.
A.has done something wrong
B.used to live a rich life
C.has put on the wrong pants
D.is short of money
解析:選D。詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段的If you have less money than usual,you may have to tighten your belt.可知應選D。
63.Someone who spends his money at the drop of a hat most probably________.
A.doesn’t save money
B.earns much money
C.never wastes his money
D.spends more than he earns
解析:選A。推理判斷題。根據(jù)前文的I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much.可知前面指的是那些會存錢的人,又根據(jù)yet的語境,可知后者是那種一有錢就會立即花錢的人,故選A。
C
If you want to help children develop language and speech skills,UCLA researchers say,listening to what they have to say is just as important as talking to them.
The effect of a conversation between a child and an adult is abou t six times as great as the effect of adult speech input (輸入) alone,the researchers found.“Adults speaking to children helps language develop,but what matters much more is the interaction,”said the study’s lead author,F(xiàn)rederick Zimmerman,an associate professor in the School of Public Health at the University of California,Los Angeles.The researchers also found that TV viewing didn’t have much of an effect-positively or negatively-as long as it wasn’t displacing conversations between an adult and a child.
The UCLA study included 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old.They represented a variety of incomes and education.The researchers found that, in an average day,children hear about 13,000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adultchild conversations a day.
Assessed separately,factors po sitively associated with language development included each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1,000 word increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children.When looked at alone,TV was negatively associated with language development.But,when the three factors were analyzed together,the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children.
“The more a child speaks and interacts with an adult,the better idea a parent has about where the child is,” Zimmerman said.“Although it’s mostly done unconsciously,parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes.They’ll also tailor their speech to the child.Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what they’re doing,such as,“I’m putting on your pajamas now.But give your child the opportunity to talk,hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment,”she added.“If parents can carve out some conversation time-maybe at bath time or at dinner time-that’s a wonderful thing.”
【解題導語】 研究發(fā)現(xiàn),父母和孩子之間的交談對孩子語言的發(fā)展至關(guān)重要。這種交談必須是雙向的、互動的。
64.The researchers also found that TV viewing ________.
A.could have a positive effect on a child’s language development
B.had a little effect on a child’s language development
C.affected a child’s language development more negatively than positively
D.affected a child’s language development both negatively and positively
解析:選B。細節(jié)理解題。從文章第二段最后一句可知,看電視對孩子沒有多少影響,無論是積極的還是消極的。
65.Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree that ________.
A.parents should let their children talk most of the time
B.children should watch TV programs selectively
C.the conversation between parents and children should be twoway
D.it’s no good for parents to correct their children’s mistakes when they are speaking
解析:選C。推理判斷題。從文章第二段內(nèi)容可知,Zimmerman 強調(diào)父母跟孩子之間交談的雙向性和互動性才是更重要的。
66.We can conclude from the last paragraph that ________.
A.parents should let a child repeat what he or she says
B.bath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a child
C.parentchild conversation can be carried out at any proper time
D.parents should leave a child talking alone
解析:選C。推理判斷題。從文章最后一段可知,父母應該隨時創(chuàng)造跟孩子交談的機會,時間的選擇是非常靈活的。
67.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Talk with kids,not at them
B.Let your children voice their own opinions
C.How to develop a child’s language ability
D.The importance of early child language development
解析:選A。主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容分析,文章強調(diào)父母和孩子之間的交流,而且強調(diào)交流的互動性,因此A項符合文章的主旨,適合作本文標題。
D
There are many differences between British English and American English.I used to teach a course about the differences between the two.We speak English on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean but we have many differences in our common language.We have examples of the same words having very d ifferent meanings,differing spellings of the same words as well as completely different words for the same things.Here are some examples.
A cookie in the US is called a biscuit in the UK.A biscuit in the US is a small cake in the UK.Crisps in the UK,are known as chips,but we British people eat a plate of chips that you call fries in the US.In the UK,a pie can be made from either meat or fruit,while in the US pies are normally made from fruit;pot pies are made from meat.Most things are measured in grams and kilograms in the US,not pounds and ounces.
One very obvious(明顯的)difference is the side of the road we each choose to drive on.Petrol in the UK is gas in the US.The place where we fill up our cars,in the UK,is a garage;while in the US,it’s a gas station.The term garage is also used as a place to store your car next to or close by your house.In the UK we call a lorry what is known as a truck in the US.
An elevator in the US is called a lift here,and the first floor in the US,is calle d the ground floor here,so many visitors get off on the wrong floor in British hotels.
I could continue with this.There are countless examples of differences within our one shared language.With so many differences,no wonder it’s hard to understand each other well.
【解題導語】 本文論述了美國英語和英國英語在詞匯方面的差別。

69.It’s implied in the passage that the author may be________.
A.a driver from the US
B.a cook from the US
C.a teacher from the UK
D.a gas station worker from the UK
解析:選C。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第二句I used to teach a course about the differences between the two可推出作者可能當過老師。
70.In the author’s opinion,________.
A.language differences don’t affect understanding
B.the same words in the two different types of English may have different spellings
C.there will be fewer differences between American and British English in the future
D.it is impossible that some Americans get off on the wrong floor in British hotels

Is there anything more important than health?I don’t think so.You can’t be good at your studies or work when you are ill.
If you have a headache,or a bad cough,if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold,I think you should go to the doctor.
The doctor will examine your throat,feel your pulse,take your temperature,sound your heart and lungs.After that he will advise some treatment,or some medicine.The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking of doctor’s advice,I can’t help telling you a funny story.
An old man came to see the doctor.The man was very ill.He told the doctor about his weakness,memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs.The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.
He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest.He also advised him to eat a lot of meat,drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks.In other words,the doctor advised him to follow the rule:“Eat at pleasure,drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.”The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again,he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office.He looked cheerful and happy.He thanked the doctor and said that he_had_never_felt_a_healthier_man.
“But you know,doctor,”he said,“it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”
72.The writer thinks that ________.
A.health is more important than wealth
B.work is as important as studies
C.medicine is more important than pleasure
D.nothing is more important than money
解析:選A。文中開頭講“還有什么比健康更重要的嗎?我認為沒有”,即“我認為健康是最重要的”。
73.The doctor usually tells his patient what to do ________.
A.without examining the patient
B.after he has examined the patient
C.if the patient doesn’t take medicine
D.unless the patient feels pain
解析:選B。文中第三段交代“After that he will advise some treatment,or some medicine.”。that就是指代前面提到的“檢查”。
74.The underlined part means“________”.
A.he was feeling better than ever
B.he wasn’t a healthy man
C.he was feeling worse than before
D.he will be well again
解析:選A。“以前從來沒有感覺到自己是一個健康的人”,即采納了醫(yī)生的建議后感到舒服。文中用的是過去完成時,強調(diào)過去的過去感到自己不是一個健康的人,而現(xiàn)在則相反。
75.From the last sentence of the passage,we learn the man ________ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A.was a heavy smoker
B.didn’t smoke so much
C.didn’t smoke
D.began to learn to smoke
解析:選C。這里有些幽默,上文提到醫(yī)生說“每天抽煙不要超過一支”,而以前這個病人并不抽煙,采納醫(yī)生的建議后就每天抽一支煙。

Why is it so important to learn English?
Reasons for learning English:
•World trade is done in English;
•International organizations(such as the UN)use English;
•We need contact with the developed western world to build up our country;
•Many developing countries also use English in their dealings;
•Most businessmen do not have time to learn new languages every time they enter a new international market.
•So China’s future lies in learning English to a certain extent.
