第四單元檢測(時間:60分鐘滿分:100分).閱讀理解(共10小題;每小題2分,滿分20分)AIn February 2006,Lydia Angyiou and her two sons were walking through their village in northern Canada.The sound of children shouting made her turn around.To her horror,Lydia saw a 700-pound polar bear behind her looking at her seven-year-old son.Getting between the bear and her child,Lydia began hitting and kicking the animal as hard as she could.A neighbor who heard all the noise came and shot the bear.But everyone agreed it was Lydia who had saved her childrens lives.A local policeman described it this way,“.I guess when our backs are up against the wall,.we come up with superhuman strength.” Where do the “superhuman strength”,courage and quick thinking come from?Experts say they come from stress!In stressful situations,the body releases chemicals that prepare it to take action.These chemicals give people the speed and strength they need to fight danger or run from it.When we think of stress,we usually think of its negative effects.Studies,though,show that moderate (適度的)levels of stress are actually helpful.In fact,the way we perform is usually affected by the amount of stress we feel.Stress causes the brain to release adrenalin (腎上腺素),which in turn increases our energy and excitement.This is why some people say they work better under a deadline.If adrenalin is not released for long periods of time,people can feel bored and lazy.But some stress actually increases and strengthens our abilities instead of weakening them.We sometimes turn out our very best work when we push ourselves to the limit.Stress can also make us more confident.Handling small amounts of stress now prepares us for handling serious situations in the future.Who knows?Todays stress may even prepare us for the next polar bear that comes along our way!1In the first paragraph,the case of Lydia Angyiou is mentioned to . A.praise Lydia Angyiou for her courageB.remind us of the danger of bearsC.make us learn the cause of the stressD.show that stress can make people do unimaginable things答案D解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句警察的描述及第二段專家的說法,可知莉蒂亞勇斗北極熊的事例說明人在有超大壓力的情況下,會有超人的力量,做出人們平時認為不可能做到的事情。2What does the underlined part “our backs are up against the wall” mean?A.we are nervousB.we face the bearC.we are in a dangerous situationD.we stand against the wall答案C解析細節(jié)理解題。上文莉蒂亞勇斗北極熊的故事是此句語意依托的背景,因此可推斷C項正確。3From the passage we can know that stress may . A.influence the way people solve problemsB.make people become cleverer than beforeC.make people have the feeling of happinessD.decrease the difficulties people meet with答案A解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句“.thewayweperformisusuallyaffectedbytheamountofstresswefeel.”可知答案。4According to the passage,we can know that . A.adrenalin makes people feel stressedB.the lack of adrenalin can lead to ones boredom and lazinessC.the more adrenalin we have,the better we workD.adrenalin provides us with much energy every day答案B解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句“Ifadrenalinisnotreleasedforlongperiodsoftime,peoplecanfeelboredandlazy.”可知答案。5In the authors opinion,. A.people should have much stressB.a polar bear will appear at any timeC.stress in life is necessary for ones futureD.we can create stress for ourselves答案C解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Handlingsmallamountsofstressnowpreparesusforhandlingserioussituationsinthefuture.Whoknows?Todaysstressmayevenprepareusforthenextpolarbearthatcomesalongourway!”可知現(xiàn)在的壓力可能對將來的情況有很大意義,所以說平時有一定壓力是必要的。BOne morning,Anns neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school.She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog.Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers(傳單),and put them in mailboxes.Meanwhile,Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies,warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog.At the time,Anns son Thomas was 10 years old,and Jack,who was recovering from a heart operation,was 21 years old.Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog,whom they had started to call Riley.When she arrived home from work,the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her.As soon as she opened the door,Riley dashed into the boys room where Ann found Jack suffering a heart attack.Riley ran over to Jack,but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.“If it hadnt come to get me,the doctor said Jack would have died,”Ann reported to a local newspaper.At this point,no one had called to claim the dog,so Ann decided to keep it.The next morning Tracy got a call.A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier.Tracy started crying,and told him,“That dog saved my friends son.”Peter drove to Anns house to pick up his dog,and saw Thomas and Jack crying in the window.After a few moments Peter said,“Maybe Odie was supposed to find you,maybe you should keep it.”6What did Tracy do after finding the dog?A.She looked for its owner.B.She gave it to Ann as a gift.C.She sold it to the dollar store.D.She bought some food for it.答案A解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段“SheaskedAnnifshecouldkeepaneyeonthedog.”以及第二段第一句可知,當翠西發(fā)現(xiàn)小狗之后,想讓安幫忙照看,而她給狗拍照并印發(fā)傳單投入郵箱,故只有A項正確。7How did the dog help save Jack?A.By breaking the door for Ann.B.By leading Ann to Jacks room.C.By dragging Jack out of the room.D.By attending Jack when Ann was out.答案B解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二、三句可知,當安回家時,小狗朝她叫,然后沖到男孩們的房間,在那里安發(fā)現(xiàn)杰克的心臟病犯了。8What was Anns attitude to the dog according to Paragraph 4?A.Sympathetic.B.Doubtful.C.Tolerant.D.Grateful.答案D解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段安跟當?shù)貓蠹堈f如果不是這條狗引導她進入杰克的房間,杰克就沒命了。由此可知安對這條狗是懷有感激之情的,故D項正確。9For what purpose did Peter call Tracy?A.To help her friends son.B.To interview Tracy.C.To take back his dog.D.To return the flier to her.答案C解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段第一句“PeterdrovetoAnnshousetopickuphisdog.”可知彼得開車來到安家來認領他的狗。因此C項正確。10What can we infer about the dog

Tracy.答案B解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中“.Petersaid,MaybeOdiewassupposedtofindyou,maybeyoushouldkeepit.”可知,彼得最終讓這條狗留在了安家。故B項正確。.完形填空(共20小題;每小題1.5分,滿分30分)Some people claim to be suffering and say they want to change.Yet,their actions suggest 11.Someone who is unhappy may not want to give up his 12 because it is a tool he uses to win sympathy or play the role of a martyr (乞憐者).So,those who are thinking of change should 13 asking themselves,“Do I really want to change myself?” Wanting to change is the first step and the second step is accepting 14.We should know we are responsible for our happiness,not our parents or neighbors.It means we 15 blaming the world for our suffering.It means we cant look for 16.Sidney Madwed explains,“Every man is the 17 of his own life.He builds it 18 the way he wants it.19,after he has built what he wants,he sometimes decides that he doesnt like what he has built and looks for someone or something to blame 20 changing himself.”If we are unhappy,it is because we are doing something wrong. 21 will change until we change ourselves.22,we have to change our thoughts,beliefs,and views.When we grasp this point,we will be 23 to move forward.Heres how Samuel Johnson expressed the same thought,“If a person has so little 24 of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but himself,he will find his attempts 25”. Many people,despite a 26 attempt to change,give up trying and return to their old ways.The main reason for this is that they 27 too soon.They want to see 28 changes overnight.And 29 they dont,they give up.To avoid making the same mistake,carefully record your thoughts,feelings and

is an English saying:“41” Until recently,few people took the saying seriously.Now,however,doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body.42 Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body.People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts,blood pressure,breathing and muscles.It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise.43 If laughter exercises the body,it must be beneficial. Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body.In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs.The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program.44 45 They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing,making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter. A.Laughter can prolong ones life.B.As a result of these discoveries,some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients condition by encouraging them to laugh.C.The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which can diminish both stress and pain.D.It increases blood pressure,the heart beating and breathing;it also works several groups of muscles in the face,the stomach and even the feet.E.Although laughter helps cure the disease,doctors still can not put this theory into clinic practice.F.Laughter is the best medicine.G.They have found that laughter really can improve peoples health.答案4145 FGDCB.書面表達(滿分25分)請用英語將下列六幅圖中的內(nèi)容寫成一篇100詞左右的短文。       參考范文One day a young man read an employment notice on a bulletin board.He
