Unit 1 Lifestyles 单元综合测评(一) Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

A

According to the Oxford English Dictionary，the term “couch potato”first appeared in print in a December 1979 edition of the Los Angeles Times.Since then，it has become a familiar term for a person who spends a lot of time sitting，and little time exercising.Although there does not seem to be any particular reason why the term“couch potato”is used rather than “couch tomato”，a person may bec ome a “couch potato”because living this way is said to make you round like a potato.The term is also said to have something to do with the connection of potatoes with high-calorie(卡路里)food like potato chips.

People now would say “couch potato”whenever they talk about overweight and obesity(肥胖)．Indeed, “couch potatoes”are believed to risk heart disease，which can be avoided by regular exercise.

It is true that technology and modern life in general makes us sick，fat，lazy and physically/mentally soft.The more time people spend using technology，particularly televisions and computers，the less time they will spend being physically active.

“Couch potato”kids are a particular concern.Media reports repeatedly claim that children today are fatter than their elder generations，but less athletically skilled，less interested in physical activity and more addicted(上瘾的)to “junk food” and technology such as television and computers.The message is clear：today's children are fat because they are lazy and eat too much.Moreover，because technology is becoming more sophisticated(复杂的)，children are less able to resist(抵抗，忍得住)technology's attraction，and are more likely to spend more time using technology，less time doing physical activity and，therefore，more likely to be fat.

【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了“couch potato”的由来、危害及预防。

1．The first paragraph is mainly talking about ．

A．why “couch potato”is used as a term for a person

B．when “couch potato”is used as a term for a person

C．how “couch potato” is different from“couch tomato”

D．what kind of person looks like a potato

【解析】主旨大意题。第一段主要是谈论couch potato的由来，即它用来指某一类人的原因。

【答案】 A

2．The development of technology also makes us sick because by using technology.

A．we are more likely to risk heart disease in modern life

B．we spend less time doing exercise

C．we needn't do many things by ourselves any more

D．we spend all our time watching TV and playing computer games

【解析】细节理解题。从第三段最后一句可知，我们运用高科技的时间越多，锻炼的时间就变得越少。

【答案】 B

3．It's kids' that people are particularly concerned about.

A．food B．study

C．health D．hobby

【解析】细节理解题。最后一段的第一句说“Couch potato”kids are a particular concern，从下文可知，“Couch potato”kids指的是那些肥胖的孩子，而“肥胖”是关系健康的问题。

【答案】 C

4．According to the passage，the author may suggest that ．

A．scientists should stop their research into technology

B．parents should take better care of their children

C．kids should be stopped from using new technology

D．people should spend less time using technology

【解析】推理判断题。从短文中我们可以得知，科技的发展使人们把更多的时间用在了看电视、玩电脑上而大大减少了锻炼的时间，造成了“coach potato”之类的问题，所以作者可能是在建议人们在看电视、玩电脑上少花点时间，即using technology。

【答案】 D

B

“Children who eat three or more hamburgers a week are more likely to suffer from asthma(哮喘)，”researchers say.However，they say that the risk may not be caused by the meat-rich diet itself，but by a lack of fresh fruit and vegetables.

The study looked into 50，000 children from 20 countries.Parents were asked about their children's eating habits and whether they had ever suffered from asthma.The effects of their diet seemed to be different depending on where they lived.Fruit and vegetables are more helpful in less affluent parts of the world，while eating lots of fish was more helpful in richer countries.Eating at least three hamburgers a week was linked to a greater risk of asthma，but only in wealthier countries.

Dr.Gabriele Nagel said different things may cause asthma in different parts of the world.“This gives us more understanding of how asthma affects different people，and its effects in developing as well as developed countries，”she said.

High levels of unhealthy fat in hamburgers could increase the risk of asthma.However，the researchers said children who ate several hamburgers a week were likely to have other unhealthy lifestyle habits as well.

Researchers said the study helped us understand how asthma and diet are connected.“Previous studies have shown that a diet-rich in fruit and vegetables can help to reduce a child's risk of developing asthma symptoms，”Dr.Elaine Vickers said.“Our advice to parents is to make sure that children have a healthy diet and also get plenty of exercise.”

【语篇解读】每周吃三次或三次以上汉堡的孩子更容易得哮喘，让孩子保持健康的饮食和适量的运动可以很好地预防儿童哮喘的发生。

5．What can we learn about the study from the passage?

A．Fat in hamburgers doesn't increase the risk of asthma.

B．Children who like hamburgers don't like exercise.

C．Eating three hamburgers a month could cause asthma.

D．The parents of fifty thousand children were interviewed.

【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段前两句可知调查了20个国家的五万个孩子，他们的父母被问及他们的饮食习惯及他们是否患过哮喘，由此可知D项正确。

【答案】 D

6．What did Dr.Elaine Vickers advise parents to do?

A．To help children have healthy lifestyle.

B．To keep children away from hamburgers.

C．To have dinner with children at home.

D．To make sure children take exercise as much as possible.

【解析】细节理解题。根据本文最后一句“Our advice to parents is to make sure that

children have a healthy diet and also get plenty of exercise.”可知，Elaine Vickers建议家长们给孩子提供一个健康的饮食习惯并保证他们有足够的锻炼。

【答案】 A

7．The passage is mainly about ．

A．asthma affects people in wealthy places

B．hamburgers raise a child's risk of asthma

C．parents can influence children's health

D．more and more children become fatter

【解析】主旨大意题。这篇文章主要介绍了每周吃三次或三次以上的汉堡有引起孩子得哮喘的风险。故B项正确。

【答案】 B

C

【导学号：80512042】English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet.One in every seven human beings can speak it.More than half of the world's books and three quarters of international mails are in English.Of all languages，English has the largest vocabulary—perhaps as many as two million words.

However，let's face it：English is a crazy language.There is no egg in an eggplant，neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger.Sweet-meats are candy，while sweetbreads，which aren't sweet，are meat.

We take English for granted.But when we explore its paradoxes(探讨它的矛盾)，we find that quicksand can work slowly，boxing rings are square，public bathrooms have no baths in them.

And why is it that a writer writes，but fingers don't fing，grocers don't groce，and hammers don't ham？If the plural of tooth is teeth，shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth？One goose，two geese—so one moose，two meese?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same，while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites？How can overlook and oversee be opposites，while quite a lot and quite a few are alike？How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?

English was invented by people，not computers，and it reflects(反映)the creativity of human beings.That's why，when stars are out，they are visible(能看见的)；but when the lights are out，they are invisible.And why，when I wind up my watch，I start it；but when I wind up this essay，I end it.

【语篇解读】英语是世界上应用最为广泛的语言，每七个人中就有一人说英语。但是英语中很多单词的字面意思和真实意思是截然不同的，比如eggplant(茄子)里面没有egg，pineapple(菠萝)里既没有apple也没有pine(松树)，hamburger里也没有ham(火腿)。

12．According to the passage ．

A．there should be an egg in an eggplant

B．pineapples are the apples on the pine tree

C．boxing rings should be round

D．sweetmeats and sweetbreads are different things

【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段和第三段可知A、B、C三项均不正确。由第二段中“Sweet-meats are candy，while sweetbreads，which aren't sweet，are meat.”可判断出D 项正确。

【答案】 D

13．Which of the following is the correct plural?

A．Geese. B．Beeth.

C．Meese. D．Tooth.

【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“If the plural of tooth is teeth，shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth？One goose，two geese—so one moose，two meese？”可知A项正确。

【答案】 A

14．Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?

A．A wise man and a wise guy.

B．Overlook and oversee.

C．Hot as hell and cold as hell.

D．Quite a lot and quite a few.

【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段中的“...while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites？”可知A项错误；根据“How can overlook and oversee be opposites，while quite a lot and quite a few are alike？”可知B项错误，D项正确；根据“How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next？”可知C项错误。

【答案】 D

15．The underlined words“wind up”in the last paragraph probably mean“”．

A．blow B．finish

C．roll up D．get hurt

【解析】推理判断题。根据“...when I wind up this essay，I end it.”可判断出wind up 的意思是“结束”，故选B。

【答案】 B

Ⅱ.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

All languages change over time, but some change at a faster rate than others. 16 The most important factors are the number of people who speak a language, where they live and whether they move around, the importance of the language for world trade and communication, and changes in technology.

17 However, today English is the most widely used language in the world.English is spoken by about 350 million people as a first language in countries such as Great Britain, the United States.In addition, about a billion more people speak English as a second language.

English started to take over French as an international language during the period of British

colonialism (殖民主义) when the English ruled many countries in Africa and Asia. 18 The colonial period came to an end at the same time that several other changes occurred.For example, the U．S.started to play a greater part in global affairs and the international economy.New means of communication technology such as television and the Internet spread English worldwide. 19 In addition, they could use the Internet for information, business, or e-mail communication, all in English.Just as the use of English spread, other languages changed English by contact or by new inventions and technology.

In contrast, Icelandic is a language that has changed very slowly.Icelandic speakers today can understand poetry written in a slightly different dialect over 1，000 years ago! Why has Icelandic changed so slowly? The main reason is the isolated (孤立的) location of the island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. 20 Compared to England, Iceland had no history of colonialism.Iceland's small population has not played a major role in international trade or communication.Today, most Icelanders speak English in addition to their native language.With outside influences, Icelandic is changing more rapidly now.

A．People everywhere could watch the news or sports events in English.

B．These changes have a great influence on the development of society.

C．Isolation meant that for hundreds of years, Icelanders had little contact with speakers of other languages.

D．What are some of the factors that influence how quickly a language changes?

E．The language communication brings about the communication of technology.

F．In the past, other languages such as Latin or French were more important than English.

G．English was the primary means of communication in these colonies.

【答案】16—20DFGAC

【导学号：80512043】Ⅲ.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)

I had arrived at the airport about 30 minutes before the check-in.It had been a very 21 three days for me with lots of meetings.So I was glad to have the 22 time to make my notes on what I 23 to do the following day.But then came the 24 that my flight had to be 25 because there was a problem with the plane.

As I sat waiting for my 26 to be called，I reflected on my last meeting of the day.It was not a business meeting but rather a very enjoyable 27 with an old business friend I had not seen for over 12 years.Our lunch was spent recalling times gone by 28 filling each other in what had happened in our lives over the last 12 years.We both laughed and smiled as we recalled the good

times and the great experiences we had 29 together.At the end of our time together，we both said how much we had 30 it and that we must do it again.

It was great to have this additional time to replay in my 31 all that we had talked about.I realized just how important it was to have regular 32 of the good times in our life.I was lucky enough to have had the chance to take a short 33 and reflect on the good things that had happened in my life over 12 years.

It was somewhat like looking at an old photo album 34 in a cupboard in your house.There before your eyes are lots of wonderful 35 that take you back to times and places，and most importantly to those people who are in the 36 ．

My flight home was finally 37 three hours later.I smiled as I 38 the plane and realized that I was not at all 39 about the delay in the flight，as I had been able to spend the time 40 on the good times from days gone by.

【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在一次等飞机时领悟到经常停留一下，回顾生活中美好事情的重要性。这对现代社会中忙忙碌碌的人们有特别的意义。

21．A.important B．busy

C．quick D．useful

【解析】由“with lots of meetings”可知应是很繁忙的三天。

【答案】 B

22．A.pleasant B．satisfying

C．valuable D．extra

【解析】在办理登机手续前30分钟到了机场，所以就有额外的时间来计划接下来需要做的事情。pleasant“令人愉快的，吸引人的”；satisfying“令人满意的”；valuable“很值钱的”；extra“额外的”。显然extra切合文意，能较好地把句子补充完整。

【答案】 D

23．A.had B．failed

C．needed D．asked

【解析】结合上下文，那三天由于一直忙于开会，“我”很乐于有时间来计划接下来“需要”做的事情，所以needed适合。

【答案】 C

24．A.announcement B．declaration

C．opening D．speech

【解析】分析句意可知，这时机场发布了一项通知。announcement“通知，宣告”。

declaration“声明，宣言”；opening“开放，开始”；speech“演说”。

【答案】 A

25．A.waited B．cancelled

C．taken D．delayed

【解析】文中提到飞机出了问题，带来的应是航班“延误”或者“取消”，但从下文可知，航班并没有被取消，所以B项cancelled(取消)错误。

【答案】 D

26．A.flight B．turn

C．name D．order

【解析】飞机没有来，“我”坐在那里应该是等待“航班”。flight“飞行航班”。turn“转动，(依次轮到的)机会”；name“名字”；order“命令，次序”。

【答案】 A

27．A.negotiation B．lunch

C．party D．chat

【解析】下文中出现了lunch，照应上文。理解全句，应为“那不是一个商务会议，而是与一个长达12年没见面的业务上的老朋友的愉快的午餐。”

【答案】 B

28．A.as well B．except for

C．as well as D．in addition

【解析】分析句意，作者要表达的是在午饭时做了什么，filling和recalling引导的短语是并列关系，需要as well as连接。as well“也，又”，多用于句末；except for“除……以外”；in addition“另外”。

【答案】 C

29．A.spent B．met

C．managed D．shared

【解析】share表示“分享，共有”，可以构成完整的句意。句意：想到以前我们一起度过的快乐时光和美好的经历，我们都很开心。

【答案】 D

30．A.got B．enjoyed

C．made D．paid

【解析】由“we must do it again”可知，我们当然很满意那天的聚会。分析四个选项的

意思，只有enjoy“喜欢，满意”合适。pay“付费”；get“理解；明白”；make“获得成功”，均与句意不符。

【答案】 B

31．A.thought B．spirit

C．flight D．mind

【解析】句意：有这样一个额外的时间来回想我们的对话实在是太好了。回想当然应是在大脑中，所以mind“头脑，心思”符合文意。

【答案】 D

32．A.time B．plans

C．reminders D．remains

【解析】此处说的是作者的感受，强调这次谈话对作者的影响。reminder“提醒人的事物，引起回忆的事物”，符合语境。time“时间”；plan“计划”；remains“残余物，遗迹”。

【答案】 C

33．A.way B．cut

C．method D．break

【解析】从上下文可知，显然作者认为自己很幸运，有这样一个机会来放松并回忆过去12年的快乐时光。break恰好能与take搭配，take a break“放松，休息”。

【答案】 D

34．A.stored away B．put on

C．set aside D．given out

【解析】store away“收藏，保存”；put on“穿上”；set aside“留出，暂不考虑”；give out“公布，用尽”。句意：这就有点像是在看保存在你家橱柜里的老相册一样。因此store away符合句意。

【答案】 A

35．A.celebrations B．memories

C．awards D．presents

【解析】看着相册，展现在眼前的应是许多精彩的“回忆”。

【答案】 B

36．A.cupboard B．books

C．childhood D．photos

【解析】上文提到了“photo album”显然说的是“照片”中的人物。句意：呈现在你眼

前的是许多精彩的回忆，它们带你回到过去的时光和场景，更重要的是，它们让你想起照片中的那些人。

【答案】 D

37．A.shouted B．phoned

C．called D．commanded

【解析】由第26空后的to be called可知。

【答案】 C

38．A.left B．boarded

C．jumped D．reached

【解析】飞机来了，当然要登机了，board the plane“登机”，为正确答案。

【答案】 B

39．A.upset B．happy

C．crazy D．surprised

【解析】通读整篇文章可知作者这时的心情应是很愉快的。此处意为：我微笑着登上飞机，对于飞机的晚点一点儿也不心烦意乱。结合句意，upset符合语境。

【答案】 A

40．A.taking B．seizing

C．reflecting D．bringing

【解析】作者心情好的原因应是“有时间去回顾那些逝去的美好时光”。第二段和第三段都用到了reflect on这个短语，意思是“回忆，反思”。take on“呈现”；seize on“把握”；bring on“使发展，导致(通常指坏事)，促使提高”。

【答案】 C

There is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident.After the accident,

only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.

He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man.He had gained a lot of experience while travelling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident.He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way.Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult.An idea occurred to him.“Why not write to other people who need encouragement? ”

He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners.The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.”

Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters.He began sending one-way messages of God's love, hope, strength, and encouragement.He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit.He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.

It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply.One day he received a letter from the prison ministry.It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.

The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford.Your letters are passed from cell to ce ll until they literally fall to pieces! ”

No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents.We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.

The 16-year-old girl Jessica Watson is said to be the youngest person to sail non-stop alone around the world.But her record has been questioned because someone thought that she has not sailed far enough.She will also not be recognized by the World Speed Sailing Record Council，as it was too dangerous for someone under 18 years old.

Ms Watson sailed into Sydney port on Saturday，seven months after leaving on a hard voyage.Family，friends and Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd have gathered to greet her.Thousands of well-wishers waited at the port and watched from boats as Ms Watson sailed her pink，10-meter long boat over the finishing line.Many more Australians watched the event
