第一單元檢測(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)AThey say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon:on foot,on mules (騾子) or by air.We chose the first.Up early,my husband and I and our three children couldnt wait to get started.We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.As we set out,I was shocked at how narrow the path was.And I couldnt help noticing that the other tourists werent like us.They had heavy backpacks,water bottles,and hats.But as usual we were dressed.As the sun rose higher,Arizonas famous heat seemed to roast (烘烤) us.There was no shade and our legs were aching.We decided to go back,with the girl on my back and the boys far behind.By the time we finally got back,our legs were like jelly. The next day,after wed had a long rest and a good breakfast,we were ready for another view of the Canyonby air.After our last walk,this would be the easiest thing in the world.We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon.But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed (翻轉(zhuǎn)) the plane around,pretending he was going to hit the ground.I shouted,“STOP!TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land,once again our legs were like jelly.We hardly spoke as we drove back.As I said,there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon.We never tried the mules,but personally Id suggest a fourth:buy yourself a good magazine like NationalGeographic.That way,you can see the Canyon,without fear or tiredness.1Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A.They made a careful preparation before the trip.B.The children were more joyful than their parents.C.Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.D.The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.答案C解析細節(jié)理解題。由“.shockedathownarrowthepathwas.”可知,C項正確。2The underlined expression “our legs were like jelly” probably means “”. A.we were weakB.we were unhappyC.we were dissatisfiedD.we were disappointed答案A解析推理判斷題。旅途出乎預料地艱難,“我們”又熱又累,所以回來時必然是“軟弱無力”。3Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?A.It proved to be frightening.B.It was more comfortable.C.It turned out to be exciting.D.It made each of them tired.答案A解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Ishouted,STOP!TAKEUSBACK!”可看出他們膽戰(zhàn)心驚,frightening早已代替了comfortable。4We can infer from the passage that . A.experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best wayB.one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand CanyonC.the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion in the last paragraphD.the whole family narrowly escaped the air accident答案C解析推理判斷題。作者顯然是在開玩笑地提出了第四種方式買本雜志舒舒服服地看大峽谷,不用擔驚受怕。onmules沒有嘗試無從談起,排除A項。穿衣多少沒有談到,排除B項。從“.pretendinghewasgoingtohittheground.Ishouted.”可知,是駕駛員有意制造驚險,實際并無危險事故,排除D項。5What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The experience of the authors family in the Grand Canyon.B.Experiencing the Grand Canyon.C.Experiencing the Grand Canyon on mules.D.Experiencing the Grand Canyon on foot.答案A解析主旨大意題。綜合全文可知,本文講述了作者和家人旅游中的經(jīng)歷。B、D兩項不準確,C項未實行。BIt seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble.Thats more or less what happened at the night when Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.“I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville.As I got onto Highway 40,blue lights and sirens (警笛) going,I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway.The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me.He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder.”But Hyde couldnt go after him.Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders,so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident.But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove,hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car.As it turned out,keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult.Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to the accident scene.Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination.At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene.His help wasnt needed.Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird,who by this time had developed something new to panic about.“Just about that time,” Hyde says,“I saw fire coming out from under that car,with blue smoke and oil going everywhere.Hed blown his engine.Now he had to stop.”“After I arrested him,I asked him why he was running.He told me he didnt have a drivers license.”That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plentya thousand dollars for the new enginenot to mention the charges for driving without a license,attempting to run away,and dangerous driving.6The meaning of “panicked” in Paragraph 2 is related to “”. A.shamedB.hatedC.angeredD.feared答案D解析詞義猜測題。由上下文得知,警察駕駛著警車,鳴著警笛。那位沒有駕駛執(zhí)照的司機看到這種情景時自然會“恐慌”。7Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?A.Because he was racing with another driver on the road.B.Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene.C.Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.D.Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder.答案C解析推理判斷題。本題與上題密切相關,該司機因懼怕警察,以為警察要讓他停車接受檢查所以才加速逃避。8Which of the following statements is true?A.Someone else was taking care of the injured person.B.The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene.C.Hyde knew where he was going by following the right ear.D.The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40.答案A解析推理判斷題。由文章第四段第二、三兩句話“Atthatpointhefoundanotherunithadalreadyarrivedattheaccidentscene.Hishelpwasntneeded.”可明顯看出A項正確。9The driver of the Firebird. A.took a wrong turn on the wayB.had some trouble with his carC.was stopped by the police officerD.paid for the expenses of the accident答案B解析細節(jié)理解題。由文章倒數(shù)第三段看出,這位司機因高速行駛,致使發(fā)動機爆裂所以無法繼續(xù)開動,并非由警察攔下。10What is probably the best title for the article?A.Losing His Way!B.Going My Way!C.Fun All the Way!D.Help on the Way!答案B解析主旨大意題。通讀全文看出,警官無意中逮住一個無證駕駛的司機。goonesway可理解為違規(guī)者見到警察仍我行我素超速的意思。.完形填空(共20小題;每小題1.5分,滿分30分)Around the world more and more people are 11 dangerous sports and activities.Of course there have always been people who have 12 adventurethose who have climbed the 13 mountains,explored unknown parts of the world or 14 in small boats across the greatest oceans.Now,however,there are people who look for an immediate pleasure from a 15 activity which may only last a few minutes or even 16. I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity.You 17 from a high place about 200 metres above the ground with an elastic rope 18 to your ankles.You 19 at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from 20 the ground.It is said that 2 million people around the world have now 21 bungee jumping.Other activities,22 most people would say are as dangerous as bungee jumping,23 jumping from tall buildings and 24 into the sea from the top of high rocks. Why do people take part in such activities as these?Some psychologists (心理學家) suggest that it is because life in 25 societies has become safe and boring.Not very long ago,peoples lives were constantly under 26.They had to go out and hunt for 27,and life was a continuous battle for survival. Nowadays,according to many people,life offers 28 excitement.They live and work in relatively safe conditions;they buy food in shops;and there are doctors and hospitals to 29 them if they become ill.The answer for some of these people is to 30 danger in activities such as bungee jumping. 11A.escaping fromB.taking part inC.going inD.taking in答案B解析從本段后面所舉的例子來看,此處說的是越來越多的人正參加各種危險的運動。“參加”也可用goinfor來表達,故C項不對。12A.looked upB.looked intoC.looked forD.looked around答案C解析上句說越來越多的人參加各種危險的運動,因此可推測此處是說“一直也不乏有人尋求冒險”。13A.lowestB.highestC.beautifulD.wild答案B解析從破折號來看,下文是通過舉例來說明有人參加冒險活動。根據(jù)所舉的幾個例子來看,此處選highest才能與“冒險”這個主題相吻合,并與“exploredunknownpartsoftheworld”等語意一致。14A.sailedB.swamC.jumpedD.crossed答案A解析從下面的“insmallboatsacrossthegreatestoceans”可推測,此處說的應是“乘小船在大洋上航行”,故選用sail。15A.safeB.excitedC.funnyD.dangerous答案D解析上文談論的是危險運動,且下文所舉的例子“bungeejumping”也是危險運動,故用dangerous。16A.yearsB.secondsC.hoursD.days答案B解析從前面的“wholookforanimmediatepleasure”及“whichmayonlylastafewminutesoreven.”等可推測,此處說的是這項運動持續(xù)時間短,顯然hours,days和years不合語境。17A.jumpB.runC.walkD.cross答案A解析從這一段開始介紹蹦極運動。根據(jù)下文介紹的“fromahighplaceabout200metresabovetheground”來看,該運動是從離地面大約200米處往下跳。18A.followedB.tiedC.broughtD.took答案B解析在往下跳時,運動員的腳踝要系在繩子上,所以用tied。19A.goB.runC.fallD.fly答案C解析從高處跳起,然后墜落下去,所以用fall。20A.fallingB.runningC.flyingD.hitting答案D解析此處介紹的是系繩子的目的不讓你撞到地上。21A.triedB.looked forC.foundD.studied答案A解析由常理推測,世界上有很多人都已經(jīng)嘗試過蹦極這項運動。22A.thatB.whichC.itD.what答案B解析此處應用which引導非限制性定語從句,which指代前面提到的otheractivities。23A.holdB.includeC.findD.contain答案B解析此處介紹了其他兩種運動:一是從大樓上往下跳,二是從高的巖石上往海面跳。故此處應用include。24A.swimmingB.runningC.divingD.sailing答案C解析從下文的intothesea可看出是“跳水”,故用diving。25A.oldB.modernC.pastD.formal答案B解析從上下文來看,本文所介紹的運動是新興的一項運動,也就是現(xiàn)代人所從事的運動,由此可推斷此處選modern,即說明“現(xiàn)代社會人們的生活很安全、枯燥”,故許多人從事這項運動來尋找刺激。26A.safetyB.imperfectionC.dangerD.perfection答案C解析前面說現(xiàn)在人們生活舒適而乏味,與此相對照,此處說的是過去人們常處于危險中,要外出狩獵,故此處應選danger。27A.animalsB.foodC.waterD.dangers答案B解析從“andlifewasacontinuousbattleforsurvival”等來看,此處說的是人們外出“尋找食物”,故用food。28A.fewB.littleC.muchD.many答案B解析從后文可知,“現(xiàn)在人們生活、工作在相對安全的環(huán)境下”,與狩獵相比,現(xiàn)代人的生活少了刺激,故用little。29A.look atB.look intoC.look forD.look after答案D解析從“iftheybecomeill”可知,此處說的是“生病時有大夫等來照看他們”,故用lookafter。30A.look forB.look afterC.exploreD.find答案A解析此句是總結(jié)全文的話。從整篇文章來看,此處說的是人們在刺激的運動中尋找危險。.語篇填空(共10小題;每小題1.5分,滿分15分)閱讀下列材料,掌握其大意,并根據(jù)上下文填寫空白處所需的內(nèi)容(1個單詞)或所提供單詞的正確形式。As a boy 31.(grow) up in India,I had longed to
