My name was announced as the win鄄 ner in the writing contest. There, when I accepted the award, my heart skipped a beat, my breath caught in my throat, and tears filled my eyes. I had achieved something that I never thought was possible. My hard work paid off! My teacher was right: I did have a good shot at this. Paragraph 2: I went to my teacher蒺s office after the award presentation. Before I told him the good news, his face broadened into a grin. “ Congratulations! You won the battle, Revere蒺s horse! ” He laughed out loud. His words filled me with confidence. “ You are my Silver Smith! Thank you! ” I expressed my sincerest gratitude to my teacher. It was then that I truly understood what I had accomplished was not just about winning a contest, but about realizing my own potential. The teacher蒺s belief in me had given me the courage to try and to put in the effort. At that moment, gratitude enveloped me, for I discovered how profound an impact a single person can have on others. Unit2单元测试卷 第一部分 听力 （共两节， 满分 30 分） 第一节 （共 5 小题； 每小题 1.5 分， 满分 7.5 分） 1～5 BCBAC 第二节 （共 15 小题； 每小题 1.5 分， 满分 22.5 分） 6～10 ABCBC 11~15 AACCB 16~20 CABCC Text 1 M: This year our sales increased by 23%. W: What caused the increase? M: Well, the harvest of oranges, bananas and some other fruits was good. Prices dropped and so sales in鄄 creased. Text 2 M: Would you like to get a PhD in something? W: Yeah, maybe one day. But it蒺s impossible right now. I have my job and the kids. I蒺d have to study at mid鄄 night! M: Oh, yeah. That would be difficult. Text 3 W: The weather forecast says it will be sunny and hot this Saturday. How about going to the beach? M: Sorry. The beach never appeals to me. I prefer staying at home and watching the football match all day. Text 4 M: What are you thinking right now, Lucy? W: Can蒺t you see? I蒺m thinking that if you were quiet, I could get my homework done. But it is difficult for me to concentrate on it since you are always talking. Text 5 M: Did you read about us online? W: No. I work on Albert Street, not far away. M: So you saw our sign? W: Actually I didn蒺t notice it until this evening. A woman in my company comes here and swims every lunchtime. So I蒺m hoping to join her. Text 6 W: Does your father have any sisters or brothers? M: Oh, yes, I have an uncle, and my uncle Charles蒺s pretty famous, actually. W: What does he do? M: Medical research. A lot of his research has been published in medical journals. And he蒺s also famous for his young age when he started. He蒺s been doing medical re鄄 search for ten years and he蒺s only 25. W: Wow, sounds amazing! Clever man! Text 7 M: Shally, I don蒺t know how to get along well with other clerks in the office. I蒺m upset. W: Why not chat and make small talk? It can improve your relations with others. M: Isn蒺t it a waste of time doing that? W: It蒺s not wasting time if you do it at certain times. Basically, during breaks and at lunch. Also, small talk should not be viewed as a time to get personal information. That蒺s impolite. Well, in fact, it蒺s not difficult to make small talk. M: Hmm, I see. What else? W: John, I know this is important, but can we talk af鄄 ter work? We have a project to complete before the end of the day. Don蒺t you remember the deadline? How about a conversation over lunch? M: OK. Text 8 W: Dad, look at this friendship quiz. A teacher gave it to me. M: Why don蒺t you try it? W: Just a moment. I蒺ll get a pen from my desk. M: OK. Well, the first question: How often do you get 86 参 考 答 案 in touch with your friends? Twice a week or more? W: Hmm...my friends aren蒺t in the same school as me. And I dislike ringing people up. I don蒺t call my friends even once a week. M: That means “ seldom ” . Secondly, how many friends can you talk with to calm yourself down when you are very upset. W: Oh, I can think of none. I usually talk with you or Mum when I feel sad. M: Poor Rose! You can蒺t rely on us all the time. The last question: Your friend wants to talk with you face to face. Where would you have the talk? W: Well, we can蒺t talk in the classroom. Maybe I could meet her in a café? No, I think I would talk to her in a shopping centre. We can talk and shop at the same time. M: Let蒺s add up your score and see how many points you蒺ve got. Oh, Susan, you蒺ve only got 7! I think you should get along with your friends. Why not call or visit them often? W: You蒺re right, Dad! Text 9 W: It has been said that if you want something done quickly you should find the busiest people to do it. Why do you think this is true? M: Because they have more time? W: Well, I don蒺t think so. Everyone has 24 hours in each day. M: Is it because they can arrange their time to fit a new task? W: Very good answer. Some people are natural or鄄 ganisers, but most of us, however, have to plan our time carefully in order to finish everything. Most of you have housework to do at home and most of you probably put it off until a time you want to do it. However, if you did them immediately, they would be finished and you wouldn蒺t have to think about them. M: But how can we organise our time? W: Well. First, you could make a list of your tasks — including everything you want to do, even the fun things. Then write down the time you set aside for sleeping and connect the remaining hours with the tasks you listed first. Please do this for the next class and we will compare how different people manage their own 24 hours per day. Text 10 Hello, boys and girls. Today I want to talk about savings. Not everyone knows clearly how to build personal savings, but a savings plan started on a website has helped many put away a nice tidy sum. The fifty鄄two week money challenge is simple and if it is maintained, it will result in 1,378 dollars in your savings account each year. It starts with saving an amount equal to 1 dollar in week 1, 2 dollars in week 2, 3 dollars in week 3 and continues right through the year until 52 dollars in week 52. While these are small amounts, at the end of the year, you will have enough money for an emergency fund, family celebration or holiday. Another simple way of building some savings is by saving as little as two per cent of your monthly income into a savings account. The key is that before bills and the cost of living start to eat away at your salary, you should put aside part of your pay. Once you have reached a thousand dollars, you蒺ll find you probably have the motivation to continue to save even more. 第二部分 阅读 （共两节， 满分 50 分） 第一节 （共 15 小题； 每小题 2.5 分， 满分 37.5 分） 21~25 BCABA 26~30 CBDBC 31~35 DCBAD 21.

Health professionals The Lie: “ You蒺re not sleeping well due to stress. ” The Truth: “ In reality, poor sleep is often caused by your nighttime routine and sleep environment, ” says Matthew Ross, co鄄owner and COO of The Slumber Yard. “ If electro鄄 nics are a big part of your nightly routine, you蒺ll often have trouble falling asleep due to the blue light these devices send out. Keeping your room clean can have a positive effect on your sleep. ” Personal trainers The Lie: I蒺ve trained thousands of clients. The Truth: “ Training someone means working with the person from beginning to end until they achieve their goal, ” says Caleb Backe, a certified personal trainer. “ Training requires much more time and effort as well as a personalized plan. There is just no way that your trainer did it thousands of times. This is a way for them to make you believe in them as well as say they have plenty of experience. ” Lawyers The Lie: I will drop you if you don蒺t ac鄄 cept this settlement. The Truth: “ This is often a lie presented by lawyers as a way to threaten clients into accepting settlements or to take action that they otherwise would not take, ” says Alexis Moore, Esq. “ In this case, get the advice of another lawyer and find out whether or not this conduct is proper. ” 21.

Consider it carefully before you act. C. Refuse him without hesitation. D. Dismiss him immediately. B Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape （风景） can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation. Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or high鄄 ways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my land鄄 scape shots, I have traveled up to four hours Unit 2单元测试卷 13 高中英语选择性必修 第二册 （外研版） 精编版 away to shoot within a 10鄄minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way. Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to be鄄 ing on the spot only five minutes before the best moment. One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil蒺s Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz （石英 ） rock around the lake. After we found a crazy鄄looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photo鄄 graph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route （路线 ） so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely. 24.

Tony March蒺s story shows how someone who has enthusiasm for philanthropy （乐善好施 ） can live joyously by doing what he loves: Helping the less fortu鄄 nate to achieve lives of self鄄sufficiency （自给 自足） and dignity. Tony March is a man who rose from great poorness to extreme wealth, while, at the same time, generously giving his wealth and his time to improve the situation of 14 those who struggled to survive in the world in which he was raised. At a time when human kindness and sym鄄 pathy seem to be on the endangered behavior list, it is exhilarating to learn of a man like Tony and be reminded that caring individuals still exist, that the human spirit, firmly fo鄄 cused, can achieve wonders, and that one per鄄 son蒺s desire to improve the human condition can have such a strong influence on improving the quality of life for tens of thousands of peo鄄 ple. Tony grew up without a father and was regularly beaten by an unloving mother, mov鄄 ing 17 times before he turned 10. He was al鄄 ways laughed at and had to help feed his fa鄄 mily by working at a grocery store. Through all the mental and physical abuse, Tony didn蒺t give up and used education to break the poor鄄 ness cycle and became the owner of 21 auto dealerships. “ It is education that brings suc鄄 cess to me, ” he said. When the Director of Metropolitan Mi鄄 nistries （ a homeless shelter ） found out about Tony, he suggested that Mr. March “ go pub鄄 lic ” with his story so that others, inspired by what he had done, would be more willing to give their talent, time and money to help the less fortunate as well. It was a persuasive ar鄄 gument that Tony finally accepted. His book, Paying It Backward, will be published soon.

The Joy of Giving Is the Joy of Living D A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of four鄄year鄄olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the candy they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment. By the time the children reach high school, something amazing has happened. A survey found that those who as four鄄year鄄olds had enough self鄄control to hold out generally and grew up to be more popular, adventurous, con鄄 fident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation （诱惑） early were more like鄄 ly to be lonely, easily upset in time of diffi鄄 culties and inflexible. Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn蒺t show up on an IQ test. The hardware of the brain and the soft鄄 ware of the mind have long been scientists蒺 concerns. But brain theory can蒺t explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of trou鄄 bles that would sink a less resistant （有抵抗 力的） soul. Here comes the theory of Daniel Gole鄄 man, writer of Emotional Intelligence: When it comes to predicting people蒺s success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “ character ” . EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What re鄄 searchers have been trying to understand is how they work together, how one蒺s ability handles stress, for instance, affecting the ability to con鄄 centrate and putting intelligence to use. Among the ingredients （要素） for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%, the rest depends on everything from so鄄 cial class to luck. While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues fi鄄 nally taken seriously, some few fear EQ in鄄 vites misuse. 32.

The underlined word “ upbeat ” in Para鄄 graph 4 probably means . A. positive B. negative C. impatient D. friendly 16 35. From the passage we learn that . A. EQ does not have any connection with IQ B. the higher a person蒺s IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is C. brain theory is able to explain what we wonder about most D. scientists haven蒺t discovered the way EQ and IQ work together 第二节 （共 5 小题 ； 每小题 2.5 分 ， 满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文， 从短文后的选项中选出 可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项 为多余选项。 In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience. 36.

Psychologists call these three things coherence, purpose and existential mattering. But there is another element to consider.
