單元質(zhì)量檢測(cè)(四)(時(shí)間：100分鐘滿分：120分).閱讀理解(共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分)閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。AIt was around the 4th grade when I started noticing that I didnt fit in that well with a lot of kids in my grade. While the other girls were starting to wear makeup, style their hair, and only wear fashionable clothing, I stayed the same. At first I didnt care, but then I started to feel a little worried. I was afraid that the other girls wouldnt like me. I wanted to be like them, but I really hated that.After I entered the 5th grade my mom found a local vocal (歌唱的) studio. I had always loved to sing, and taking lessons seemed like fun. I was thrown into a brilliant world of music. Something inside me just clicked, and I had finally found where I belonged. Music gave me a place of my own in the world.Starting voice lessons was the first of many times that music has changed my life. In the 7th grade, I really didnt fit in at middle school. Being an athlete is what made you popular, and I was not super athletic. Music saved me again. Every day I knew I could come home from school and sing. I would become someone else. I would let the music fill my body and shine its light in the darkest corners. The light gave me strength. I became friends with other people who were into music. Music also gave me courage.Friedrich Nietzsche once said，“Life without music would be a mistake.” This is true for me. Without music, my life would be a mistake. Maybe I would have found another hobby, but I doubt that it would help and change me the way music did. I know that music had changed my life.1What was the problem that faced the author in the 4th grade?ANo one around her liked her.BShe had no fashionable clothing.CShe didnt know how to dress up.DShe didnt fit in well with others.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的“It was around the 4th grade when I started noticing that I didnt fit in that well with a lot of kids in my grade.”可知，作者當(dāng)時(shí)的問(wèn)題是不很合群。2Taking music lessons made the author most probably _.AworriedBdisappointedCcheerful Dsurprised解析：選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的“I was thrown into a brilliant world of music. Something inside me just clicked, and I had finally found where I belonged.”可推斷作者很高興。3When the author was in middle school, she _.Afell in love with sportsBbecame very popular at schoolCdecided to become a great athleteDmade friends with those who loved music解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的“I became friends with other people who were into music.”可知作者跟一些喜歡音樂(lè)的人成為了朋友。4What would be the best title for the text?AMusic Changed MeBMy Young LifeCI Found MyselfDMy Hobbies解析：選A標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，作者在學(xué)校里并不是很合群，后來(lái)是音樂(lè)給了她勇氣，改變了她，故選A項(xiàng)。BShould I stay or should I go? An LED device (設(shè)備) for driverless cars aims to give pedestrians at a crossing the power to communicate with cars, signalling for them to stop or drive on.Blink, created by researchers at the Royal College of Arts and Imperial College London, turns the awkward dance of eye contact and hand gestures that happens when a car slows down while someone is waiting to cross the road into something driverless cars can understand.Blink combines an organic light display with the windscreen (擋風(fēng)玻璃) and windows of a car and uses light signals to show pedestrians when the car is aware of their presence. If the car detects a pedestrian, a figure lights up.If a pedestrian raises a hand as a stop sign, the figure turns green, directing the pedestrian to cross, and the car is prevented from moving forward. If they place a hand out to the side to signal for the car to go forward, the figure turns red and the car continues.But George Filip at the University of Nottingham, UK, isnt certain it is a good idea to give pedestrians control over driverless cars. He says cities could end up crowded because pedestrians keep stopping cars.Producers should wait until the novelty of driverless cars has worn off before creating carpedestrian communications systems, he says. “We need to learn how people actually communicate with autonomous cars.”The idea is to help people feel more comfortable around driverless cars, says Blink cocreator Raunaq Bose. “It effectively gives pedestrians the carstopping powers of lollipop men and women (幫助學(xué)童過(guò)馬路的交通安全員)”The team hasnt yet tested the device on a driverless car, but Bose says several automotive companies have expressed interest.語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文是說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了一種新型的可以輔助行人和無(wú)人駕駛車進(jìn)行交流的設(shè)備。5What do we know about Blink?AIts a new car brand.BIts a drivingaid system.CIts a carproducing company.DIts already widely known to the public.解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二、三段的內(nèi)容可知，Blink可以輔助行人和車輛進(jìn)行交流，是一種輔助駕駛系統(tǒng)。6What will a driverless car do when a pedestrian puts a hand to the side?APick up speed. BSlow down.CCome to a stop. DKeep moving.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段中的“If they place a hand out to the side to signal for the car to go forward, the figure turns red and the car continues”可知，行人手放旁邊的話意味著車輛可以繼續(xù)前行。7Whats George Filips attitude towards Blink?ANegative. BCurious.CUninterested. DAppreciative.解析：選A推理判斷題。由第五段中George Filip提到的這種設(shè)備可能造成交通擁堵可知，他對(duì)此持反對(duì)態(tài)度。8What can be inferred from what Bose said?ATheres a demand for the device.BThe device has an uncertain future.CThe device is perfect for driverless cars.DSeveral companies have begun to use the device.解析：選A推理判斷題。由最后一段中的“Bose says several automotive companies have expressed interest”可知，這種設(shè)備有市場(chǎng)需求。CFestivals are a great way to experience a destination in a different way. This article will fuel your wanderlust (漫游癖) and guide you to the best festivals.St Patricks DayWhere: Dublin, Ireland & New York, USAWhen：17 MarchSt Patricks Day has taken place in New York City on March 17th since 1762.

BSXSW.CKings Day. DJust for Laughs.解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)SXSW中介紹的“SXSW is a festival for those who work in the music and film industries”可知，SXSW是關(guān)于音樂(lè)和電影的。11What do we know about Just for Laughs?AIt offers free food.BIt lasts for one week.CIt is the best comedy festival in the world.DIt is celebrated in many places worldwide.解析：選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)Just for Laughs中介紹的“For comedy lovers there is no other festival in the world better than Montreals Just for Laughs”可知，該節(jié)日是全世界最好的喜劇節(jié)。DHeat has been used to control hair for hundreds of years. But how much is too much? If youve ever opened a very hot oven, you know that heat can burn your eyebrows off your face very quickly. A scientist from Purdue University in Indiana is trying to find a scientific answer on how hot is too hot when it comes to your hair.Many women and some men are very particular about their hair. Some people who have naturally curly hair prefer to have it straightened. Others with straight hair want to have curls. Tahira Reid is one of those_people. As an AfricanAmerican woman, she is familiar with the challenges of maintaining (保養(yǎng)) curly, coiled or tightly curled hair.Tahira Reid and other researchers at Purdue University are studying how heat treatment interacts with different types of hair and how to prevent damage. Amy Marconnet is an assistant professor. She says the team is seeing how heat and temperature relate to their research.In a Purdue Universitys lab, team members designed a hair straightener tool a flat iron with temperature control. They attached it to a robotic arm that moved over pieces of hair. They controlled the temperature while the device straightened hair.What did they find? Their study found that the heat weakens or breaks a protein called keratin, responsible for the hairs shape, and temporarily changes it. But nobody knows exactly what level can make the heat actually cause forever damage.Researchers say early results are a bit inconclusive. It turns out that everyones hair is different and that theres no exact temperature where hair straightening becomes hair damage. Ms Reid says they will continue their research in the hope of finding what works best without damaging the hair.12What does the scientist want to find out?AWays to protect our hair.BWays to protect eyebrows.CThe temperature that makes hair curly.DThe temperature that can damage hair.解析：選D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的“A scientist from Purdue University in Indiana is trying to find a scientific answer on how hot is too hot when it comes to your hair.”以及末段的“theres no exact temperature where hair straightening becomes hair damage”可知，這個(gè)研究是為了找出什么溫度會(huì)對(duì)頭發(fā)造成損害。13The underlined part “those people” in Paragraph 2 refers to those who _.Aare AfricanAmericanBlove their hair very muchClove making their hair look curlyDarent easily satisfied with their hairstyle解析：選D推理判斷題。根據(jù)畫線詞前面的“Some people who have naturally curly hair prefer to have it straightened. Others with straight hair want to have curls.”可知，這些人對(duì)他們的頭發(fā)比較挑剔，故選D項(xiàng)。14What do we know about the hair straightener tool?AIt is controlled by a robot.BIts temperature can be changed.CIt was invented by Tahira Reid alone.DIt can control the temperature automatically.解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的“a flat iron with temperature control”以及“They controlled the temperature while the device straightened hair.”可知，這個(gè)設(shè)備的溫度可以調(diào)節(jié)。15When the heat breaks a protein called keratin in the hair, _.Athe hair gets burnedBthe hairs shape is changedCthe hair is forever damagedDthe hair surely becomes curly解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段的“Their study found that the heat weakens or breaks a protein called keratin, responsible for the hairs shape, and temporarily changes it.”可知，這種情況發(fā)生的時(shí)候，頭發(fā)的形狀會(huì)改變。.閱讀七選五(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。How can a teen set themselves up for success?
