Unit 2 单元综合测试习题检测 1、 阅读理解 A （2024年秋季福建省永春二中晋江内坑中学等五校高二期中联考） Street markets around the world Do you want to buy a new pair of sunglasses? The latest CD? Or something for your dinner this evening? Nowadays, you can shop by telephone or through your home computer; but for many people, the most exciting way to shop is also the most traditional — at a street market. You can find markets anywhere in the world — here are five of them: Every weekend, thousands of young people from all over London travel to Camden Market in an attractive area in the north of the city — it's the place to go for street fashion, CDs, and tapes. But many people just go for the lively atmosphere! There are many “floating markets” in Asia; perhaps the most famous is in Thailand, at a place called “Damnoen Saduak”, 100 km from the capital city, Bangkok. From six in the morning to midday, every day, people sell fresh fruit and vegetables from their boats. The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey, is more than 500 years old and it has more than four thousand shops under one roof! The most popular items for tourists are the beautiful carpets. It's open all day every day. Many Belgians say that La Grand Place — in the center of the capital city, Brussels — is the most beautiful square in the world. It is the home of a colorful flower market — open every day except Monday. On Monday, instead of flowers, there's a wonderful bird market! One of the world's most unusual markets is in Mexico City: at the Sonora Market. As well as toys, you can buy herbs and natural medicines which (they say) can help with anything — from problems at work to problems with your marriage! It's open every day from early in the morning till late at night. 1. How is the market in Thailand different from other markets? A. It is more than 500 years old. B. It only opens in the evening. C.

B （福建省2024-2025学年高三上学期11月期中）Britain's only remaining coal power plant will generate electricity for the last time today, after operating for 57 years. The power station at Ratcliffe in Nottingham shire will come to the end of its life in line with the government's policy to phase out coal power, which was first signalled almost a decade ago. The closure marks the end of Britain's 142-year history of coal power use, which began when the world's first coal-fired power station, the Holborn Viaduct in central London, began generating electricity in 1882. The closure has been regarded as a big milestone in reducing the UK's carbon emissions. The UK became the first country to set an end-date for coal power from 2025 after putting in place increasingly strict regulations to reduce the running hours of coal plants. Ministers called for the deadline to come forward by a year shortly before the UK hosted the UN's Cop26 climate talks in Glasgow in late 2021. Peter O'Grady, the plant manager, said, “This whole year has been a series of sad moments. I'm sure there will be a few tears as the whole thing stops and as people leave, especially for me.” The plant once employed 3,000 engineers but its workforce has declined in line with its power output over recent years. Coal power made up 80% of the UK's electricity in the early1980s, and 40% in 2014, which was due to costly carbon taxes and the rise of cheap renewables. Staff were first told in 2021 that the plant would close in late 2022, but Ratcliffe's owner, the German energy company Uniper, reached an agreement with the government to keep the plant running during the Europe-wide gas crisis. Uniper has tried to help engineers into jobs at the company's other power plants or into training that could lead to work in other areas of the energy industry. Michael Lewis, Uniper's chief executive, said, “This will be the first time since 1882 that coal has not powered Great Britain. We're embracing（拥抱）the future of cleaner and flexible energy.” 4. Why is the coal power plant in the UK put to an end? A. To respond to the call of the government. B. To turn around the situation of losing money. C. To follow the trend started by other countries. D. To stimulate other industries to cut carbon emissions. 5. How does Peter O'Grady feel about the closure of the coal power plant? A. Scared. B. Upset. C. Surprised. D. Pleased. 6. What might have caused the decreased use of coal power in the UK ten years ago? A. The decline of workforce. B. The reduction of coal tax. C. The development of new energies. D. The conservation of non-renewable resources. 7. What will happen to the engineers of the coal power plant in the UK? A. They will be dismissed. B. They may work in other industries. C. They will go abroad in search of jobs. D. They may receive considerate arrangements. C （广东省惠州市博罗县2024-2025学年高二上学期11月期中）With the sudden breakthroughs in artificial intelligence over the last year, a sudden realization has come for those of us in the writing circle that the robots have come for our jobs at last. Recently, Hollywood writers went on a strike over concerns about being replaced. It ended in a modest victory, but it seemed like a losing battle, like the 18th-century craftsmen trying to stop new machines but in vain. The replacement of physical labour by machines was often beneficial in itself, even if it did not feel that way at the time. In all previous waves of technological change, the jobs lost have been made up for by the jobs created, usually better ones. Can the same be said when it comes to writing? Language is hard-wired into us, which is the property of human. Writing is how we do our best thinking, as Joan Didion observed, “I don’t know what I think until I write it down”， and thinking is what makes us human. What happens when we no longer rely on our own thoughts to address more complex problems? Probably it won’t come to that, or not yet. I remember when we said the same thing about computers playing chess, the technology is still in its early stage. In a few years, we may no longer be able to tell the difference. What then? Most likely the first writing to be replaced will be patterned writing like business and promotional writings. It may be that writers will take on a role similar to today’s artisans and craftsmen, pride for their “handmade” honour. The best writing may be produced neither entirely by computer nor by humans, but by the two combined. For however it is produced, some writing will always be better than other writing. Who says? You, the reader. It may be possible to teach a computer to write, but only a human can feel the pleasure of reading, or the pain. 8. What was the main concern of Hollywood writers? A. The increase in working hours. B. The use of AI in writing rooms. C. The decrease in salaries for them. D. The lack of full control over work. 9. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. We are born with language. B. Language is hard to replace. C. Language is difficult to change. D. We benefit from language. 10. What might be the first type of writing to be replaced by AI? A. Creative fiction writing. B. Scientific research paper. C. Advertisement and brochure. D. Children literature and poetry. 11. What would be the best title of the text? A. Can AI redefine human’s future? B. Will the pen be mightier than AI? C. Is AI a threat to human creativity? D. Will literature be dead due to AI? D （定远县第二中学2024~2025学年度高二第一学期第二次教学质量监测）When Adele released (发行) her 2011 single Someone Like You, this bittersweet song is popular with millions worldwide. More than a decade later, it remains one of her most popular songs. Her artistry, as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats, has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss. Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people's feelings of pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research. And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences. “It doesn't take the place of medicine when you have a headache, but music can help reduce your pain, ” said Patrick Stroman, a professor at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. He didn't join in the study. “Unlike other medications, ” he noted, “there is no side effect or risk in listening to music (just keep the volume at a reasonable level) . ” The small study invited 63 young adults to bring one of their favorite songs. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants. All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object—similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the participants' skin—to their left inner forearms. When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs. With millions of songs available, one person's favorite song is likely not the same as another. After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes. “It's a very cool result, ” said lead study author Darius Valevicius, a doctoral student of neurosciences at the University of Montreal. “I think it's why I myself and probably many people choose to listen to bittersweet or even spiritual music. ” 12. Why does the author mention Adele in the first paragraph? A. To reach a conclusion. B. To provide the background. C. To offer a suggestion. D. To lead in the topic. 13. What is Stroman's attitude to the effect of listening to music? A. Doubtful. B. Unconcerned. C. Unclear. D. Positive. 14. What did the participants do in the new study? A. They made various kinds of teacups. B. They interviewed many musicians. C. They reported their feelings of pain. D. They picked out the music they don't like. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. When Is the Best Time to Listen to Music? B. Certain Types of Music Could Help You Feel Less Pain C. The Best Way to Reduce Pain Might Be to Write Music D. How Do You Create Popular Songs Quickly? 二、七选五 （广西壮族自治区柳州市柳城县柳城县中学2024-2025学年高二上学期11月期中）Whether you are a professional or an amateur, basketball is the best sport for you. ____16____ Here are some of the benefits you can acquire from playing basketball. • Improve your fitness levels.

My blooper (洋相) in the Ring-Diving Contest had put our team at the bottom. Despite Brian and Tyrone’s attempts to comfort me, I couldn’t shake off the guilt. “Lighten up,” Tyrone cheered me, “It’s supposed to be fun.” But fun was the last thing on my mind. I was the newcomer, the city kid who couldn’t swim like the rest, and my incompetence was now costing us the competition. The next event, the Ping-Pong Derby, was another disaster. It required bravery for me even to enter the water of a lake this big, with real live fish and a dirty bottom. I always held my breath whenever I stuck my toes in. I couldn’t relax long enough to blow the silly ball to my teammate. Standing next to my two expert friends, I felt like that green sticky stuff in the water: unwanted, and not particularly useful. Just then, Captain Dale checked his clipboard (写字夹板) and then announced loudly, “Final race is worth twenty-five points. It decides the winner. That’s the Alligator Race!” I was met with a mix of dread and curiosity. “Don’t worry too much,” Tyrone said. “Here’s the deal. Three kids are on their backs, hanging on to each other. The first guy uses his arms. The second holds his legs. The third holds the second guy’s legs but kicks his own legs. All together it looks like a giant alligator racing in the water. First team across the finish line wins.” “Look, guys,” I sighed, feeling overwhelmed and wanting to quit, “I have to tell you something.” “We know,” Tyrone said. “You can’t swim, right?” Brian asked. I decided to tell the truth. “I can swim-a little. In a pool. Not too well, but good enough. I’m just so nervous here. All I’m doing is holding my breath. Brian bounced around in excitement, “We’re going to win!” Tyrone laughed. “Steve! We’re going to win! All you have to do is hold on, and we’ll do the rest.” I looked around. There were four lifeguards, and the water was only up to my chest. Maybe I could do this. 注意： 1．续写词数应为 150 左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next thing I knew, we were in the lake. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We crossed the finish line in a burst of spray and cheers. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 2 单元综合测试习题检测 1、 阅读理解 A （2024年秋季福建省永春二中晋江内坑中学等五校高二期中联考） Street markets around the world Do you want to buy a new pair of sunglasses?

Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people's feelings of pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research. And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences. “It doesn't take the place of medicine when you have a headache, but music can help reduce your pain, ” said Patrick Stroman, a professor at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. He didn't join in the study. “Unlike other medications, ” he noted, “there is no side effect or risk in listening to music (just keep the volume at a reasonable level) . ” The small study invited 63 young adults to bring one of their favorite songs. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants. All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object—similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the participants' skin—to their left inner forearms. When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs. With millions of songs available, one person's favorite song is likely not the same as another. After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes. “It's a very cool result, ” said lead study author Darius Valevicius, a doctoral student of neurosciences at the University of Montreal. “I think it's why I myself and probably many people choose to listen to bittersweet or even spiritual music. ” 12. Why does the author mention Adele in the first paragraph? A. To reach a conclusion. B. To provide the background. C. To offer a suggestion. D. To lead in the topic. 13. What is Stroman's attitude to the effect of listening to music? A. Doubtful. B. Unconcerned. C. Unclear. D. Positive. 14. What did the participants do in the new study? A. They made various kinds of teacups. B. They interviewed many musicians. C. They reported their feelings of pain. D. They picked out the music they don't like. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. When Is the Best Time to Listen to Music? B. Certain Types of Music Could Help You Feel Less Pain C. The Best Way to Reduce Pain Might Be to Write Music D. How Do You Create Popular Songs Quickly? 【答案】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现——某些类型的音乐能够帮助你减轻痛苦。 12. D 推理判断题。根据第一段 “When Adele released (发行) her 2011 single Someone Like You. . . Her artistry, as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats, has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss. ” 可推断，作者在本段提及阿黛尔是为了引入话题。 13. D 观点态度题。根据第三段 “ ‘It doesn't take the place of medicine when you have a headache, but music can help reduce your pain, ’ ” said Patrick Stroman. . . ‘Unlike other medications, ’ he noted, ‘there is no side effect or risk in listening to music. . . ’ ” 可知，Stroman 对于听音乐减轻痛苦的效果持“肯定的”态度。 14. C 细节理解题。根据第四段 “When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs. ” 可知，研究的参与者会在实验中报告他们对于痛苦的感受。 15. B 标题判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段可知，本文的最佳标题是：某些类型的音乐能够帮助你减轻痛苦。 二、七选五 （广西壮族自治区柳州市柳城县柳城县中学2024-2025学年高二上学期11月期中）Whether you are a professional or an amateur, basketball is the best sport for you. ____16____ Here are some of the benefits you can acquire from playing basketball. • Improve your fitness levels.

My blooper (洋相) in the Ring-Diving Contest had put our team at the bottom. Despite Brian and Tyrone’s attempts to comfort me, I couldn’t shake off the guilt. “Lighten up,” Tyrone cheered me, “It’s supposed to be fun.” But fun was the last thing on my mind. I was the newcomer, the city kid who couldn’t swim like the rest, and my incompetence was now costing us the competition. The next event, the Ping-Pong Derby, was another disaster. It required bravery for me even to enter the water of a lake this big, with real live fish and a dirty bottom. I always held my breath whenever I stuck my toes in. I couldn’t relax long enough to blow the silly ball to my teammate. Standing next to my two expert friends, I felt like that green sticky stuff in the water: unwanted, and not particularly useful. Just then, Captain Dale checked his clipboard (写字夹板) and then announced loudly, “Final race is worth twenty-five points. It decides the winner. That’s the Alligator Race!” I was met with a mix of dread and curiosity. “Don’t worry too much,” Tyrone said. “Here’s the deal. Three kids are on their backs, hanging on to each other. The first guy uses his arms. The second holds his legs. The third holds the second guy’s legs but kicks his own legs. All together it looks like a giant alligator racing in the water. First team across the finish line wins.” “Look, guys,” I sighed, feeling overwhelmed and wanting to quit, “I have to tell you something.” “We know,” Tyrone said. “You can’t swim, right?” Brian asked. I decided to tell the truth. “I can swim-a little. In a pool. Not too well, but good enough. I’m just so nervous here. All I’m doing is holding my breath. Brian bounced around in excitement, “We’re going to win!” Tyrone laughed. “Steve! We’re going to win! All you have to do is hold on, and we’ll do the rest.” I looked around. There were four lifeguards, and the water was only up to my chest. Maybe I could do this. 注意： 1．续写词数应为 150 左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next thing I knew, we were in the lake. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We crossed the finish line in a burst of spray and cheers. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next thing I knew, we were in the lake. The sun shone brightly on the lake, and I could feel the weight of my teammates’ expectations. But there was something else too—a spark of determination. As we positioned ourselves for the Alligator Race, with Brian leading, Tyrone at the rear, and me in the middle, I took a deep breath. The whistle blew, and we were off. The water wet my face, the crowd’s cheers filled my ears. We moved as one, a human alligator, slicing through the water. For a moment, I forgot my fears, feeling a surge of power I didn’t know I had. We crossed the finish line in a burst of spray and cheers. “We did it!” we shouted and high-fived each other, laughing and splashing each other in victory. As we stood on the podium, receiving our medals, I looked out at the crowd and felt a warmth I had never experienced before. I wasn’t just a city kid who couldn’t swim—I was a member of a team, a contributor to our victory, and for the first time, I truly felt at home in this town. Sometimes, being out of your depth can lead to the most unexpected and rewarding adventures. This was a moment I would cherish forever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者来到城镇读书，在参加比赛时，因为他是一个不会游泳的城市孩子，导致团队输掉了比赛，但队员没有怪他。接下来，他们要参加鳄鱼赛跑比赛，在团队成员的鼓励下，虽然他害怕，但决定尝试一下。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我知道的下一件事是，我们在湖里。”可知，第一段可描写比赛的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们在一阵水花和欢呼声中冲过终点线。”可知，第二段可描写获胜之后我和队员的反应及我的心态变化。 2.续写线索：比赛开始——全力拼搏——享受比赛——比赛获胜——庆祝获胜——我的感受 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①喊叫：shout/scream ②感受到：feel /sense ③珍惜：cherish/treasure 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/terror ②意料之外：unexpected/unforeseen 【点睛】 [高分句型1].
