单元综合测评单元综合测评(二二) (时间：100 分钟；满分：120 分) .阅读理解(共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分) A Five years ago，when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said： “Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45 minutes todayand 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.” A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations. Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students. Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downsideI ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare, “But I'm just not creative.” “Do you dream at night when you're asleep？” “Oh, sure.” “ So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That's pretty creative.Who does that for you？” “Nobody.I do it.” “Reallyat night，when you're asleep？” “Sure.” “Try doing it in the daytime，in class，okay？” 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作为一名教师，作者用一种玩具培养孩 子们的创造性和动手能力，其中一个孩子的创造性引起了作者的注意。 1The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to Aknow more about the students Bmake the lessons more exciting Craise the students' interest in art Dteach the students about toy design 【解析】 细节理解题。从题干的 in order to 判断，本题询问作者在课堂使用 这种玩具的目的，第一段提到 as a test.to find out something about my students，由 此可知作者的目的是更多地了解自己的学生，因此选 A 项。B 项“让课程更激动 人心” ，C 项“提高学生们对艺术的兴趣” ，D 项“教学生玩具设计” ，均不是作者 的目的。 【答案】 A 2What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3? AHe liked to help his teacher. BHe preferred to study alone. CHe was active in class. DHe was imaginative. 【解析】 推理判断题。第三段作者描述这个学生，说他特别有创造性(was an exceptionally creative mind at work)，因此选 D 项。imaginative 有想象力的。作 者在该段说他的创造力能够感染班上其他学生，这让作者意外地有了一个教学帮 手， 没有说他喜欢帮助老师(A 项错)， 文章没有提到他更喜欢独自一个人学习(B 项 错)，也没有提到他在课堂上非常活跃(C 项错)。 【答案】 D 3What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? AMistake. BDrawback. CDifficulty. DBurden. 【解析】 词义猜测题。前文提到作者很喜爱这个学生，说这个学生的创造 性能够感染其他学生，下文说“冒着失去那些有不同的思考风格的学生的风险” ， 根据语境前后的对比判断，downside 的含义应该是 drawback“不利条件，缺点” ， 而不是 mistake“错误” ，difficulty“困难” ，burden“负担” 。 【答案】 B 4Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams? ATo help them to see their creativity. BTo find out about their sleeping habits. CTo help them to improve their memory. DTo find out about their ways of thinking. 【解析】 推理判断题。根据题干信息可知本题考查的是文章后半部分对话 的信息。作者鼓励学生讲述他们最有趣的梦，然后鼓励学生说， “白天在课堂上也 试一试做梦，好吗？”由此推断，作者让学生讲述他们的梦，是为了帮助学生看 到自己的创造性，因此选 A 项。B 项“为了弄清楚他们的睡眠习惯” ，C 项“为了 帮助他们提高记忆力” ，D 项“为了弄清楚他们的思维方式” ，均不是作者的目的。 【答案】 A B Dear Mr.Wolfson， The purpose of this letter is to inform you of one of our citizens who I believe should receive some special recognition for dedicated(敬业的)community service.The person I recommend is Elizabeth Samuelson.I believe you know her in your position as volunteer coordinator(协调员) I have known Elizabeth for more than 20 years as both a friend and a neighbor.During that time I have seen her work tirelessly on scores of community projects and committees.As far as I know， she has never received any kind of recognition from the community for her work.I believe she should be given some sort of special recognition. Just last year alone， she worked on at least six different community projects including the Park Renewal Project and the Heritage Homes Fund­Raising Banquet.In addition，she is a weekly driver for the Meals­on­Wheels program and she visits patients in the care unit on a regular basis.Whenever a project or committee needs her， she will put herself into the work wholeheartedly.I'm sure that if you check with a few of your staff members who have been there over the years， they will confirm Elizabeth's community service record and probably be able to add many examples to the few I have given here.By the way，Elizabeth has no idea that I am writing this.She is a humble(谦虚的) person，and if she were aware of it，she would not allow me to send it. I thought about writing such a letter about her a number of times in the past but just never took action.Then last week，I noticed in the paper that you sponsor(主办) an annual dinner at which dozens of awards are given out to people with much less community service than Elizabeth.In fact，I checked with her and she has never even been invited to that annual event! I urge you to correct that omission (疏忽) now and take action to see that Elizabeth is properly recognized for her many years of silent but outstanding service to this community. Sincerely， Linda Sullivan 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。作者写信向 Wolfson 先生推荐一位多年 来默默无闻为社区工作做出杰出贡献的人。 5Linda is Elizabeth's Afriend and colleague Bneighbor and leader Cneighbor and worker Dfriend and neighbor 【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，作者认识 Elizabeth 20 多年 了，她们既是邻居又是朋友。故选 D。 【答案】 D 6From the letter we know that Linda Elizabeth much. Adepends on Blooks down upon Cignores Drespects 【解析】 推理判断题。作者在这封信里称赞了 Elizabeth 为社区工作不求名 利、默默奉献并且很谦虚，希望 Wolfson 先生认可并表彰 Elizabeth；由此可推知， 她很尊敬 Elizabeth。故选 D。 【答案】 D 7According to the letter，Elizabeth Awants to be asked to take part in the annual event Bcontributes much to the community Chas been invited to the annual dinner Dhas been given a lot of honors 【解析】 细节理解题。通过作者的介绍可知，Elizabeth 在社区兢兢业业工 作了 20 多年，为社区工作做出了贡献，但她却从未受到过表彰，也未被邀请参加 社区年会。故选 B。 【答案】 B 8What can we learn about Mr.Wolfson from the letter? AHe knows Linda quite well. BHe is a careless person. CHe tries something to reward those who have done much community service. DHe tries his best to find Elizabeth and do something to reward her. 【解析】 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句中的“Then last week，I noticed in the paper that you sponsor(主办)an annual dinner at which dozens of awards are given out to people”可知，Wolfson 先生将举办年会奖励那些为社区工作做出贡献 的人。故选 C。 【答案】 C C In a world where work­related stress has rocketed，could the most intelligent option be simply to find the least­taxing，most profitable job on offer? Could the smartest choice for a future career be the path that requires the least amount of effort? And what's so wrong with applying yourself to seeking out a low stress option anyway? We looked to question­and­answer site Quora for some suggestions for the best jobs for smart but lazy people.Here's what the masses had to say： If you're unwilling to work far from your home office，Paul Denlinger suggested: “Computer programmer: It is a continuous learning process，but you really don't have to work that hard and gradually you learn that many of the challenges are repetitive(重复的)” Even the nature of the work itself lends itself to doing less，he indicated， “Good programmers write as few lines of code as possible，and it is one of those professions which pays well，while at the same time，encouraging laziness，Denlinger wrote.At the same time， you get to work with other reasonably intelligent， technical people， while the investors throw money at you for their next great idea” However，Chris Leong a programmer in Sydney suggested “working for the governmentmost roles have 35­hour weeks in Australiaunless you become senior” Matthew Kuzma wrote: “My personal opinion is that the best possible job for someone who is intelligent but lazy would be to be a professional expert at something， to get paid to just share your thoughts and opinions about things with people who will do the heavy lifting” He advises the lazy bones to “identify the activities you don't consider work and find a career that will pay you for those.Chances are，the things you consider fun and easy are things someone else finds so hard that they're willing to pay you to do them” As it happens，taking a calm and relaxed approach to dealing with a project is not always a negative either.Arvind Krishnan quotes billionaire Bill Gates as saying “I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job，because he will find an easy way to do it” So lazy­but­intelligent people of the world ：“Look like you have a shot at Microsoft， ” wrote Krishnan. 9What are the advantages of working as a computer programmer? aYou don't need to work far from home. bYou are offered a chance to study repetitively. cYou are encouraged to work really lazily. dYou are paid well for your creative ideas. Aab Bbc Ccd Dad 【解析】 文中三段提到“if you're unwilling to work far from home office”；第 四段提到了“it is one of those professions which pays well”以及“you get to work with other reasonably intelligent，technical people，while the investors throw money at you for their next great idea” 。 【答案】 D 10It can be inferred that Chris Leong Arecommends people to work for the government as a programmer Bbelieves that if you are not old，you should find a job in the government Cmay feel unsatisfied about the long working hours as a junior programmer Denvies young government employees in Australia working 35 hours a week 【 解 析 】 文 中 提 到 了 Chris Leong a programmer in Sydney suggested “working for the governmentmost roles have 35­hour weeks in Australiaunless you become senior” ，可以看出 Chris Leong 本身是名 computer programmer，然后 他的建议是“除非你是名资深的电脑程序员，否则最好 working for the government，其原因就是大部分公务员每周工作 35 小时每周” ，由此可推断出 computer programmer 可能较长。 【答案】 C 11 According to Matthew Kuzma， the key to finding an ideal job is to Aidentify activities others have difficulty in performing Bfind the people who are willing to do the heavy lifting for you Cshare your reasonable and professional suggestions Dfigure out what you really enjoy and specialize in 【解析】 文中确实提到了需要具备专业技能，用专业知识和建议赚钱，但 最关键的还是在于“identify the activities you don't consider work and find a career that will pay you for those” 【答案】 D 12 What is the author's attitude towards finding a well­paid but less effort requiring job? Anegative Bobjective Csubjective Dpositive 【解析】 全文都是讲的对于“finding the less­taxing，but most­profitable job” 的客观看法和观点，不涉及作者自己的观点。 【答案】 B D Both of Jessica's parents were lawyers and expected her to follow suit.So she went to law school，got a job at a great firm in Washington，DC，and worked as a lawyer for a decade.But her heart was never in it.“I had a big salary but no personal satisfaction， ” she says. Jessica found pleasure in the same thing that had brought her joy since joining the church choir at the age of 12.“Singing always felt like communicating something real at a spiritual and emotional level， ” says Jessica.Yet she never considered it a career option.“That seemed like something people did in fairy tales，and I would never let my parents down， ” she says. It was her mom's diagnosis of brain cancer in 2009 that made Jessica realize she had to write her own happy­ever­after.“Work was busy and my mother was ailingSo I was flying back and forth from Washington，DC to Houston to see her， ” Jessica says.“I finally said， Enough！ and quit”. While caring for her mom，Jessica made a plan.She would spend her savings and study music for a year，and then open a part­time law practice so she could pursue her passion.Before her mother passed away two years later，she encouraged Jessica to follow her dream.Her song Live This Life was inspired by her mom，and her dad came to watch her perform at clubs. In 2012，Jessica moved to Nashville to try singing and songwriting.A decade of presenting cases in court gave her the confidence to sing for a crowd.“At 20，I would have been too shy to perform， ” says Jessica. “ Doing music is so free， ” Jessica says.“ There's no pressure to be a star.Success，to me，isn't a dollar amount or a record deal；it's doing what I love” 【语篇解读】 文章讲述了 Jessica 听从当律师的父母的话成为一名律师，虽 然工资高可是她并不开心。她加入唱诗班后发现自己的兴趣所在，特别是妈妈得 了癌症后也鼓励她追求自己的梦想。 13Which of the following is TRUE? AJessica didn't really like working as a lawyer. BJessica didn't know what she truly loved for ten years. CJessica wasn't satisfied with the pay she got as a lawyer. DJessica was grateful for her parents' arrangement for her. 【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“I had a big salary but no personal satisfaction， ”我虽然薪水很高，但是没有满足感。 【答案】 A 14What does the underlined word “ailing” in Paragraph 3 mean? ASick. BCrazy. CWorried. DUnhappy. 【解析】 词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句“It was her mom's diagnosis of brain cancer in 2009.”根据妈妈患了脑癌。可推出这里是“疾病”的意思。 【答案】 A 15By telling Jessica's story，the writer most probably wants to Aencourage us to pursue our dreams Bshow that singing can be a practical career Ctell us the importance of choosing a right job Dshow that family members' support is important 【解析】 主旨大意题。本文讲述了 Jessica 听从当律师的父母的话成为一名 律师，虽然工资高可是她并不开心。她加入唱诗班后发现自己的兴趣所在，特别 是妈妈得了癌症后也鼓励她追求自己的梦想。 【答案】 A .阅读填句(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 16 A report that many people die in US.each year as the result of lapses(过 失)in patient safety.This fact sheet tells what you can do to get safer health care. 1Ask questions if you have doubts or concerns.
