单元测评13　Unit 1　Knowing me, knowing you (时间：30分钟　　满分：32.5分) (本栏目内容在学生用书中以活页形式分册装订！) Ⅰ.阅读理解(本题共8个小题，每小题2.5分，共20分) A (2025·湖北部分市州期末联考) Never judge a book by its cover—even if the cover doesn't say much at all.The first thing customers see when they walk into the Strand Book Store in Manhattan is a table of nameless books with covers wrapped like Christmas presents and titles replaced by general descriptions.The store calls it “Blind Date With a Book”． “People love it，” Paul Colarusso, the communications director for the Strand, said, “We put it right at the front of the store because it quite literally stops people in their tracks.”“People are attracted to the element of surprise, which focuses attention and creates a dopamine(多巴胺) response，” Mr.Tobin, an associate professor at Case Western University, said.Meanwhile, stores have found a new way to sell books that are overlooked because they are not new, best­selling or penned by a famous author. Much like real dating, there's no perfect science, and an element of trial and error is involved.Fantasy and mystery books work well.Forgotten books from the past are great too.When in Rome by Sarah Adams is disguised as “Freshly Baked Slow Bum Rom­com”．Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade becomes a “You've Got Mail­esque Romance.” But not all bookstores have embraced the trend.Dozens of bookstore owners around the country said they did not know what “Blind Date Books” were.Others didn't participate in the trend because store policy prohibits returns or exchanges which are necessary if someone has picked up a book they have already read. On a warm Friday morning, the bookstore is packed.About half the customers stop at the “ Blind Date Books” display by the entrance, closely inspecting the neatly drawn, wrapped covers.Heather Toner buys one.“Throwing caution to the wind and letting someone else choose for me just sort of feels like a nice change of pace，” Ms.Toner, a reader, said.“I never went on a real blind date.‘Blind Date With a Book’ is kind of my speed.” 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了曼哈顿的斯特兰书店推出的“盲选书籍”(Blind Date With a Book)活动。文章讨论了这种活动带来的顾客体验、其背后的心理学原理，以及这一趋势对书店销售的影响。 1．What makes “Blind Date With a Book” appealing to customers according to Mr.Tobin? A．The ability to choose specific titles. B．The attractiveness of the packaging. C．The excitement of an unforeseen choice. D．The identification of dopamine response. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“People are attracted to the element of surprise，which focuses attention and creates a dopamine response” 可以推断出，顾客更喜欢“盲选书籍”是因为他们在这种不确定性中体验到刺激和惊喜，激发了多巴胺的反应，产生兴奋感。故选C。 2．How does “Blind Date With a Book” benefit bookstores? A．It enriches customers' choices. B．It satisfies readers' special needs. C．It simplifies shopping procedures. D．It helps market less­known books. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知，这种活动帮助销售那些被忽视的书籍，而这些书籍往往因为不是畅销书或不是出自名作家之手而被忽视。故选D。 3．What does the underlined word “embraced” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Overlooked. B．Blocked C．Guided. D．Adopted. 答案：D 解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段内容可知，不是所有的书店都能欣然接受这种趋势。故选D。 4．Which words best describe Heather Toner's attitude towards “Blind Date With a Book”？ A．Open and adventurous. B．Cautious and reserved. C．Tolerant and indecisive. D．Dismissive and skeptical. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，Heather Toner 认为让别人为自己挑选书籍是一种 “节奏的变化”，从她的话中可以看出，她认为这种方式感到轻松且充满期待，甚至将其比作一种适合自己的“盲约”，说明她对这种体验持一种积极、开放的态度，同时又抱着试一试的心态。故选A。 B (2025·杭州高三质检) Is forgiveness against our human nature? To answer our question, we need to ask a further question: What is the essence of our humanity? For the sake of simplicity, people consider two distinctly different views of humanity.The first view involves dominance and power.In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans' essential nature is more aggressive than forgiving allows.Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm.In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well­being as they offer mercy to others, who might then take advantage of them. The second view involves the theme of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love as the basis of who we are as humans.Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others.Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart.Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions.For example, how well has slavery worked as a mode of social harmony? From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hatred and the restoration of harmony.Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger.At least to the extent, the people from whom you are estranged(疏远的) accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments.Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people. As an important note, when we take a classical philosophical perspective, that of Aristotle, we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality.We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive, but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive.The actuality of forgiving, its actual appropriation in conflict situations, develops with practice. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕 “‘原谅’是否违背人类本性” 这一主题进行了深入探讨和论证。 5．What is Droll's idea about forgiveness? A．People should offer mercy to others. B．Aggressive people should learn to forgive. C．Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity. D．People who forgive can have their own welfare affected. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的 “In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness...In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well­being” 可知， Droll认为人们在 “原谅” 的时候违背了他们的本性，对自己造成了很大的伤害；也就是说，他们让自己的福祉受到了影响。故选D。 6．What does the example in Paragraph 2 illustrate? A．To forgive is to love. B．To dominate is to harm. C．To fight is to grow. D．To give is to receive. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的 “Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions.” 可知， “控制他人” 的意愿不会促成和谐的互动；接着文章以奴隶制为例，以反问的方式来阐明 “试图通过权力来控制他人并不能带来真正的和谐或幸福”，即控制就是伤害。故选B。 7．What is the writer's attitude toward forgiveness? A．Favorable. B．Reserved. C．Objective. D．Skeptical. 答案：A 解析：观点态度题。根据倒数第二段中的 “because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hatred and the restoration of harmony” 可知，作者认为 “原谅” 能够减少仇恨、恢复和谐。由此可推知，作者对于 “原谅” 持支持的态度。故选A。 8．What is the message of the last paragraph? A．Forgiveness is in our nature. B．Forgiveness grows with time. C．It takes practice to forgive. D．Actuality is based on potentiality. 答案：C 解析：段落大意题。根据最后一段，尤其最后一句可知，我们并非天生就具备 “原谅” 的能力，而是需要通过学习和实践来培养和发展这种能力。因此， “原谅” 并不是一种自然而然的行为，而是需要我们付出努力去实践的。故选C。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五(本题共5个小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分) (2024·湖北八市3月联考) Have you ever noticed how some people can effortlessly talk to anyone they meet, no matter how different their backgrounds are? Or have you seen that one person who always offends someone, no matter what the topic of conversation is? These two scenes show how we can differ in our abilities to interact, get along with, and relate to others around us. 1 After years of academic research and development, this social competency is now commonly referred to as “social intelligence”．Do you want to improve your social intelligence? Here are great ideas with which to get started. Listen well and pay attention Practice active listening so that you can fully engage and communicate with others. 2 It is natural to want to respond to that text message that pops up on your phone immediately, even when you're in the middle of a face­to­face conversation.Give people your full attention when speaking with them. 3 Watch out for body language 4 Even if they aren't saying so, their feelings are truly revealed.Try to tune in to what the other person is saying “physically”．In the same way, be aware of your own body language and how you are presenting yourself.If you slouch and appear physically uninterested during a conversation, it may make the speakers lose confidence in what they are saying, resulting in a negative interaction. Show that you care If you sense that someone is upset, or if someone tells you they are going through some difficulties, show them you truly care. 5 A．Life is often fast paced, with many digital distractions. B．Often, people's gestures will tell us a great deal about how they are feeling. C．Sharing other people's feelings can help you connect at a more meaningful level. D．People like to feel heard, and it will help you develop worthwhile relationships. E．The speaker fails to deliver a clear and objective message during his or her presentation. F．Engaging in a meaningful conversation can reduce loneliness and help reconnect with others. G．In the same way that we vary in traditional academic competencies, we can vary in how socially competent we are. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了社交商这一概念，并介绍了提高社交商的方法。 1．答案：G 解析：上文介绍了在社交场合人会有两种不同的表现：有些人可以毫不费力地与他们遇到的任何人交谈；有些人则总是冒犯别人。 G项 “就像我们在传统学术能力上的差异一样，我们在社交能力上也会有所不同。” 是对上文的总结，符合语境。故选G。 2．答案：A 解析：根据下文 “It is natural to want to respond to that text message that pops up on your phone immediately, even when you're in the middle of a face­to­face conversation.” 可知，在面对面交谈中人们可能会想去回复手机上的短信。A项 “生活节奏往往很快，有许多数字干扰。” 引出下文，其中的 digital distractions 与下文中的 that text message that pops up on your phone 相呼应。故选A。 3．答案：D 解析：根据上文 “Give people your full attention when speaking with them.” 可知，你在与人交谈时要全神贯注。D 项 “人们喜欢被倾听的感觉，这会帮助你发展有价值的人际关系。” 承接上文，说明交谈时全神贯注的好处；D项的feel heard 与上文中的 Give people your full attention 相呼应。故选D。 4．答案：B 解析：根据小标题Watch out for body language可知，本段建议 “留心肢体语言”。B项 “通常，人们的手势会告诉我们很多关于他们感受的信息。” 是对主题的解释，说明 “留心肢体语言” 的原因，符合语境。故选B。 5．答案：C 解析：上文 “If you sense that someone is upset, or if someone tells you they are going through some difficulties, show them you truly care.” 建议你要关心遇到困难的人。C 项“分享他人的感受可以帮助你们在更有意义的层面上建立联系。” 承接上文，说明这样做的作用。故选C。 学生用书第110页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
