单元限时训练(一)　A卷 (限时40分钟) [对应学生用书P123] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Computer programmer David Jones earns $35，000 a year designing new computer games. Yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card(信用卡). Instead he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18.The 16­year­old works for a small firm in Liverpool while the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David's firm releases(推出) two new games for the fast growing computer market each month. But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage (抵押贷款), or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool­based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O­levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs，” he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working. “Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school”， he said, “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.” David added, “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇新闻报道。计算机程序员大卫·琼斯只有十六岁，他收入不菲，文章对他的生活和工作进行了报道。 1．In what way is David different from people of his age? A．He often goes out with friends.

C　[细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Computer programmer David Jones earns $35，000 a year designing new computer games.(计算机程序员大卫·琼斯设计新的电脑游戏一年挣35 000美元。)”和第四句“The 16­year­old works for a small firm in Liverpool while the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job.(这位16岁的少年在利物浦一家小公司工作，而与他同龄的大多数年轻人都面临着找工作的问题。)”可知，大卫与同龄人不同的地方在于他有着很高的收入。] 2．What is one of the problems that David is facing now? A．He is too young to get a credit card. B．He has no time to learn driving. C．He has very little spare time. D．He will soon lose his job. A　[细节理解题。根据第二段第一句和第二句“But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage, or get credit cards.(但大卫最头疼的是如何处理他的钱。即使他赚了很多钱，他也不能开车、办理抵押贷款或申请信用卡。)”和第一段第二句及第三句“Yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card. Instead he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18.(然而，他找不到一家银行准备让他拥有信用卡。相反，他被告知要再等两年，直到18岁。)”可知，大卫现在面临的问题是他年纪太小无法申请信用卡。] 3．David was able to get the job in the company because ． A．he had done well in all his exams B．he had written some computer programs C．he was good at playing computer games D．he had learned to use computers at school B　[细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第三句“I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs(我得到这份工作是因为经营公司的人知道我已经写了一些程序)”可知，大卫能进入这家公司是因为他已经写了一些电脑程序。] B Devon Gallagher，a college graduate from Philadelphia，wants the world to know exactly where she's been during her worldwide vacation in a special way. The traveler，who was born with a bone disease，had her right leg amputated(截肢) at the age of four.Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on，she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life. To spread that message，Gallagher has taken to social media，where she shares photos of her travels across the globe，but instead of simply using a geo­tag，she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture. Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent，which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam，relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona，posing with a waffle in Brussels，visiting the spectacular Parthenon in Athens and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest，all with the well­known locations written on her artificial leg. “I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it.One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalkboard，”Gallagher said.“My mum and grandmother weren't too keen on the idea，but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it，so I did.” Gallagher said people often stare when she's writing on her leg，but once she shares the photos she receives only positive feedback.“My leg hasn't stopped me from doing anything I've wanted to do，” she said.“I don't know if it's my determination to prove to myself that I can do it，but anyhow I've been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life.” Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams.And if life gives you an artificial leg，make it art. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了残疾大学生德文·加拉格尔在全球各地旅行时，在自己的假肢上写上自己所在位置，然后拍照上传社交媒体，她通过这样一种方式向人们传送积极向上的信息：绝不能让任何事阻碍你的梦想。如果生活给了你一条假腿，那就让它成为艺术。 4．What message did Gallagher want to spread in her special way? A．She enjoys her travelling across the globe. B．She suffers little from her legs amputation. C．She looks on her misfortune as another form of blessing. D．She has exactly fallen in love with posting photos online. C　[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Although the amputation caused setbacks ... for living her best life.”及第三段首句“To spread that message，Gallagher has taken to social media，where she shares photos of her travels across the globe”可知，Gallagher 想传递的信息是：她认为自己的不幸正是对精彩人生的最好激励，她把不幸看作是另一种形式的祝福。] 5．Which of the following can best describe Gallagher? A．Helpful and ambitious. B．Friendly and generous. C．Determined and creative. D．Independent and sensible. C　[推理判断题。根据第六段中的“My leg hasn't stopped me from doing anything ...keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life.”可知，没有什么能阻止Gallagher去做自己想做的事情，说明她意志坚定；根据第三段中的“but instead of simply using a geo­tag，she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture”可知，Gallagher用一种特殊的方式来分享了她的旅行，说明她非常有创造力。] 6．What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The Continent.　　　　　　 B．The pictures. C．The leg. D．The locations. B　[代词指代题。“which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam ...”是定语从句，画线词which是关系代词，指代先行词pictures。] 7．Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．Never Too Late to Share B．A Special Artificial Leg C．An Outstanding Photographer D．Gallagher's Summer Holiday B　[标题概括题。通读全文可知，残疾大学生德文·加拉格尔在全球各地旅行时，在自己的假肢上写上自己所在位置，然后拍照上传社交媒体，她通过这样一种特殊方式向人们传送积极信息。写上地名的特殊假腿是重要载体，是Gallagher传送信息的关键，所以B项“A Special Artificial Leg”适合作文章标题。] Ⅱ.七选五 Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. 1 With each passing day we learn to handle various situations. 1．Love Love plays a key role on our life. 2 In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others' feelings. 2．Happiness and Sorrow Materialistic happiness is short­lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others' face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. 3 We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. 3．Failure and Success 4 It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self­respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder. 4．Hope and Despair Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. 5 Because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same. A．Failure is the path to success. B．Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour. C．Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday. D．Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. E．No mind is happy without peace. F．Without love a person could become fierce and cruel. G．The only choice is work hard today so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些生活中的哲理。 1．D　[根据上文“Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process.(生活是个包裹。这个包裹里藏着快乐与悲伤、成功与失败、希望与绝望。生活是一个学习的过程。)”以及后文“With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.(随着每一天的过去，我们学会了处理各种各样的问题。)”可知，上文提到了生活是学习的过程，后文则说随着每一天的过去，我们学会了处理各种各样的问题。由此可知，空格处的句子内容应该说明我们从生活经历中学习了什么。故D选项“生活中的经历给我们上了新的课，让我们变得更好”符合语境。] 2．F　[根据上文“Love plays a key role on our life.(爱在生活中扮演了一个关键的角色。)”可知，上文提到爱扮演了关键角色，故本句承接上文继续说明有关爱的道理，F选项中love对应上文中Love。故F选项“没有爱，一个人会变得凶猛和残忍”符合语境。] 3．E　[根据上文“Materialistic happiness is short­lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others' face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness.(物质上的快乐往往是短暂的，然而，当你给予他人一个微笑的时候，那种满足却是无与伦比的。内心的平静是通往幸福的主要纽带。)”可知，上文说明了心灵的平静与快乐之间的关系，本句承接上文继续说明心态和快乐的关系，E选项中peace对应上文中Peace。故E选项“没有平和的心态就没有快乐的心情”符合语境。] 4．A　[根据小标题“Failure and Success(失败与成功)”以及后文“It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self­respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder. (它让我们触及蓝天，它教会我们如何生存，它给予我们一条特殊的路。成功给我们带来金钱、名誉、骄傲和自尊。这时，保持头脑清醒就显得尤为重要。)”可知，本句主要是在说明失败与成功之间的关系，A选项中success对应标题中Success。故A选项“失败是成功之母”符合语境。] 5．B　[根据上文“Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience.(希望是生命的动力。父母总是希望他们的孩子能做得很好。希望使我们有梦想。希望会培养耐心。)”可知，上文主要说明了希望的重要性，选项B中的关键词“not to despair”与标题“Hope and Despair(希望和绝望)”相呼应。故B选项“人生教会我们即使在最困难的时候都不要绝望”符合语境。] Ⅲ.完形填空 Sitting in my school cafeteria, I looked around, slowly taking in everything.
