单元测评21　Unit 3　Faster，higher，stronger (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7个小题，每小题2.5分，共17.5分) A (2025·浙江四校联考) The Seychelles — that remote island chain off the coast of northern Africa is heaven for scuba divers(水肺潜水员).With more than 100 islands, most of which are uninhabited, and a relatively small amount of tourists impacting the oceans and beaches, the Seychelles has some truly best scuba diving. Fisherman's Cove Reef If you're a beginner diver who loves gentle drop­offs and sea turtles, make sure Fisherman's Cove Reef is on your scuba diving radar.The site is very popular as there's rarely a current, it's very shallow, and it has a colorful reef with everything from eagle rays to small leaf fish, which can be very difficult to find against the seagrass and coral. Ennerdale Wreck If you love wreck diving, head right for the Ennerdale, a British oil tanker that accidentally sank in 1970.Because of the medium­to­strong current and depth, it's for divers with advanced open water certification.They'll be able to swim around the wreck's propellers, penetrate the frame, and likely see reef sharks and the occasional bull shark. Baie Ternay Marine National Park The shallow, protected area of ocean, has healthy and varied coral, and a lively reef.Both snorkelers and beginner divers are likely to see sea turtles grazing on the seagrass, coaching reef fish, and small eels poking out of the sandy ocean floor. Aldabra Atoll It doesn't get much more remote than the Aldabra Atoll, a UNESCO site.The coral reef continues underwater, which makes all the island's dive sites stunning.Advanced divers can do drift dives in a channel with a chance of seeing sharks, while beginners can stay closer to the reefs, checking the various species of marine life in the Indian Ocean off their must­see list.The island is home to nearly 100，000 giant tortoises, as well as several other rare species. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了水肺潜水员的天堂——塞舌尔群岛。 1．Why is the Seychelles known as heaven for scuba divers? A．Its close distance to northern Africa. B．The high chance to spot the fish in the region. C．Its relatively small number of inhabited islands. D．The effect of the oceans and beaches on tourism. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据文章首段的 “With more than 100 islands...the Seychelles has some truly best scuba diving.”可知，塞舌尔群岛有100多个岛屿，其中大部分无人居住，影响海洋和海滩的游客相对较少，因此这里拥有一些真正最好的水肺潜水地。故选C。 2．What makes Ennerdale Wreck appealing to divers? A．The chance to see a sunken ship under the ocean. B．The numerous sharks and large marine creatures. C．Its remote location away from the main islands. D．Its attraction to both snorkelers and divers. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据Ennerdale Wreck部分下的 “a British oil tanker that accidentally sank in 1970”和“They'll be able to swim around...the occasional bull shark.”可知， Ennerdale 是一艘1970年意外沉没的英国油轮。潜水员能够在沉船的螺旋桨周围游动，穿透框架，并可能看到礁鲨和偶尔的牛鲨。由此可知， Ennerdale Wreck 之所以吸引潜水员是因为在这里潜水员有机会在海底看到一艘沉船。故选A。 3．Which place is suitable for both beginners and advanced divers? A．Aldabra Atoll. B．Ennerdale Wreck. C．Fisherman's Cove Reef. D．Baie Ternay Marine National Park. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据Aldabra Atoll部分下的 “Advanced divers can do drift dives in a channel...in the Indian Ocean off their must­see list.” 可知，在 Aldabra Atoll，高级潜水员可以在海峡中进行漂流潜水，且还有机会看到鲨鱼，而初学者可以靠近珊瑚礁，看到印度洋的各种海洋生物。因此 Aldabra Atoll 适合初学者和高级潜水员，故选A。 B (2025·北京西城区测试) As this year draws to a close, I still remember the fear I felt on a bright Saturday morning in late September, at a five­kilometer race in Clarkston, Georgia, as I waited for my 11­year­old son at the finish line. I knew he could run a 5k in about 30 minutes.When I didn't see him at the 35­minute mark, I began to wonder what had gone wrong.Had he gotten lost? Was he hit by a car? About an hour earlier, when we drove into town, my son noticed an insect on my car.It was bright green, no longer than a fingernail.And it was friendly.This little green thing hopped onto my son's finger, where it stayed for a long, long time.It stayed so long that we eventually gave it a name: Little Friend. A few minutes before the race, Little Friend jumped off my son's hand and landed on the sidewalk.But pedestrian traffic was heavy and unpredictable.Little Friend was in danger.So my son knelt and reached out his hand.Little Friend came back.The race was about to start, and the tiny green insect was in for a wild ride.My son would run fast, and the race would be long, and his arms would swing, and Little Friend would eventually be shaken off. “You will lose Little Friend，” I told him.My son nodded, treating the moment with appropriate seriousness.The race began, and I lost sight of him.The excitement at the finish line gave way to anxiety when my son did not show up.I kept asking people if they'd seen him.No one had.And beyond the 40­minute mark, I was in a panic.But there he was, thank goodness, just ahead of the 45­minute mark.And there was Little Friend, riding on the upper crook of his right thumb like a very small captain on a very tall ship. My predictions had been wrong.My son had not run fast, and he had not lost Little Friend.And these two facts seemed somehow related.He blamed a cold he was getting over.I suspected it was more than that, but I didn't question him too much about it. We walked back to the car, smiling, and found some bushes in the parking lot that seemed like a good place for my son to drop off Little Friend.“Be free，” my son said, and gently put it in the bushes.My son knew the truth.Sometimes life gives you something beautiful, a fragile, short­lived treasure in your hand.There is no need to rush ahead.Treat it gently.Enjoy each moment.Hold on while you can. One day my son will leave too, running off on his own adventure. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者通过观看儿子参加五千米比赛的经历体验而引发感慨的故事。 4．How did the writer probably feel when he finally saw his son appear in sight? A．Relieved. B．Depressed. C．Satisfied. D．Disappointed. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的 “But there he was, thank goodness, just ahead of the 45­minute mark.” 可知，当作者终于看到他的儿子出现在视野里时可能会感到如释重负。故选A。 5．The son failed to run as fast as his father had expected probably because ． A．he was lost B．he was recovering from a cold C．he was afraid to lose the tiny insect D．he was slowed down by the heavy traffic 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的 “My son would run fast, and the race would be long, and his arms would swing, and Little Friend would eventually be shaken off.”，第四段中的 “‘You will lose Little Friend，’I told him.” 和倒数第三段中的 “My son had not run fast, and he had not lost Little Friend.And these two facts seemed somehow related.” 可推知， 儿子没有像他父亲预想的那样快跑，可能是因为他害怕失去那只小虫子。故选C。 6．As for the way his son treated Little Friend, the writer is ． A．indifferent B．anxious C．appreciative D．doubtful 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段 “We walked back to the car, smiling, and found some bushes in the parking lot that seemed like a good place for my son to drop off Little Friend.”以及“‘Be free，’my son said, and gently put it in the bushes.” 可推知，作者很欣赏儿子对待 “小朋友” 的方式。故选C。 7．What will the writer most probably do after the race? A．Treasure every moment he has with his son. B．Encourage his son to take more adventures. C．Tell his son to take races seriously. D．Get more insects for his son. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段 “My son knew the truth.Sometimes life gives you something beautiful, a fragile, short­lived treasure in your hand.There is no need to rush ahead.Treat it gently.Enjoy each moment.Hold on while you can.” 和最后一段 “One day my son will leave too, running off on his own adventure.” 可推知，作者在比赛之后可能会珍惜和儿子在一起的时刻。故选A。 Ⅱ.语法填空 (本题共10个空，每空1.5分，共15分) (2025·杭州高三质检) The market for wearable technology in the past few years has been on a rapid rise.We seem to have too much attachment to data accessible on those devices.1. is it a good thing that we're relying on technology more often than not, recording every step we take?
