Paragraph 2: Over the next hour,the man began to move and speak. He first showed the sign of movement through his fingers, and then opened his eyes.In a weak voice,he thanked Bales and told her how he lost his way and was trapped here.Bales kept warming him up until he signaled he could walk.With the support of Bales,the man finally managed it back to the car and was sent to the hospital timely.Out of danger,he said gratefully but for Bales'experience and skilled rescue,he would never see the beauty of the world. >Unit5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 ACCCC 第二节（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） 6~10 ABCBB 11~15 ACBAB 16~20 BACBA Text 1 M:I thought you planned to practise the piano today, Lisa.

Once again,the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain.He jumped even harder and finally made it out.When he got out,the other frogs wondered if he had heard them.

Along with him,the following remarkable ar- chitects all took the center stage at their times. Kuai Xiang (1399-1481) Tian'anmen Gatetower is universally con- sidered the brainchild of Kuai Xiang.By fol- lowing in the footsteps of ancient home- builders,he successfully presented the Emper- or Judy with a grand wooden structure which has stood the test of time for almost 600 years. Visitors are also hooked on its delicate pain- tings. Leoh Ming Pei (1917-2019) His motto is:Traditions should be sealed in glass boxes at museums.He is always strug- gling with innovation.Although questioned by French conservative critics,he still planted a glass pyramid into the courtyard of the Lou- vre.His other works include John F.Kennedy Library,Beijing Fragrant Hill Hotel and Suzhou Museum. Zaha Hadid (1950-2016) In 2004,she became the first woman to win the Pritzker Architecture Prize,the Nobel Prize for architecture.She used tricks to maxi- mize available space.Her fluid-style works pi- oneer the concept of micro-living.The curves (曲线)of Guangzhou Opera House perfectly match the rise and fall of its surrounding buildings,forming a unique view. Meng Fanchao (1959-present) Many people dismissed the building of a mega bridge as a pipe dream,but Meng Fan- chao turned this into reality by building Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.This longest cross- sea bridge,when viewed afar,looks like a dra- gon braving the rolling waves of Lingding Sea. 21.What can we infer about Kuai Xiang? A.He never follows traditions. B.He lacks financial support. Unt5单元测试卷。 C.He is a successful architect. D.He likes delicate hooks. 22.What's Leoh Ming Pei's attitude towards creation? A.Positive.

C.They like following others'opinions. D.Their works meet with resistance. B Louise Gluck has been no stranger to awards over her long and storied career since her first publication in 1968.In 1993,she won the Pulitzer Prize for her collection of poems,The Wild Iris.And on Oct.8,2020,she became the 16th woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature with the Nobel prizes first awarded in 1901. Gluck was honored "for her unmistakable poetic voice that,with plain and simple beau- ty,makes individual existence universal".Of- ten said to be an autobiographical poet,draw- ing from the inner parts of her life,"she is not to be regarded as confessional(自白的)poet. Gluck seeks the universal,"Nobel Committee Chair Anders Olsson said in a statement. Gluck,77,the author of 12 poetry collec- tions,has been able to turn her life experi- ences into universal themes covering life,loss, and loneliness.Because of this,readers have often found her poetry to be“dark”.However, 47 高中英语选择性必修第三册（外研版） there is much more than darkness in her voice, as noted by Olsson."It is frank and also a voice full of humour and biting wit,"he said. For example,in her poem Snowdrops,she uses the coming of spring after winter to show rebirth of life after death.She leads readers down a depressing path only to reconnect with the light at the near end.At the conclusion of the poem,readers are left to feel the "raw wind of the new world"as they watch a new spring.This is often the case in Gluck's poet- ry,being able to feel joy even after not having done so for a long time. Although she's already a well-known wri- ter,Gluck did feel honored to be given the famous Nobel award.However,when asked what the prize meant to her,the poet replied, "It's too new.I don't know really what it means."Her only hope is that she can preserve her daily life. 24.What can we learn about Louise Gluck? A.She is a productive and distinguished poet. B.She showed indifference to the Nobel Prize. C.She had her first publication in her teens. D.She gets inspiration from universal exis- tence. 25.What does Olsson think of Gluck's poems? A.They are too dark for readers. B.They focus on individual existence. C.They are honest and humorous in style. D.They are mainly about human psycholo- 48 gy. 26.Why does the author mention Snowdrops in Paragraph 4? A.To show the characteristics of Gluck's poetry B.To introduce the main character of this poem. C.To explain Gluck's purpose in writing this poem. D.To describe Gluck's creativity in choos- ing themes. 27.How does Gluck feel about winning the Nobel Prize in Literature? A.She feels it makes much sense to her. B.She feels happy but remains peaceful. C.She feels too excited to catch its real meaning D.She feels it helps to preserve her dai- ly routine. C If you could have a superpower,what would it be?Other than flying and communicating with someone from his mind (which,let's be honest,would probably actually be awful), breathing underwater is one of the favourites. You can hang out with Aquaman and Ursula, and when the end of the world comes and we're all living under water,you'll be fine. With this in mind,a student at the Royal College of Art,London has designed a 3D- printed amphibious(水陆两栖的)device called AMPHIBIO-essentially a set of gills (鳃)一for this very purpose. According to Jun Kamei,a biomimicry designer and materials scientist,it is "for a future where humankind lives in the water". With the world set for a global tempera- ture increase of 3.2 C (5.7 F)by 2100,ris- ing sea levels are a very real threat to large coastal cities,potentially affecting up to 2 bil- lion people-or 26 percent of the current glo- bal population. Kamei's little device uses a specially de- signed porous（多孔的)material that fills oxygen again in the water and releases carbon dioxide.It is inspired by water-diving insects that create their own little scuba diving set by creating a protective bubble of air around their body thanks to their water-proof skin. The technology is easily 3D-printable too, which will be great when we need them to- gether.These“gills”could replace heavy and clumsy scuba equipment,making it more simi- lar to free diving but for longer.This could have immediate applications for underwater rescue plans-the 12 boys rescued by divers from a flooded cave in Thailand,for example, where it took weeks to work out how to get the boys and the vital breathing equipment through those narrow tunnels. So far,the tech has only been tested as a working model,not actually on humans,so the dream may have to be on hold for now.And scaling up and testing on humans is Kamei's next plan.This may sound unbelievable,but Kamei insists he has a much more optimistic Unt5单元测试卷。 vision of the future. 28.What can be inferred about Aquaman and Ursula? A.They can read minds. B.They can breathe underwater. C.They often cause huge disasters. D.They can't live underwater. 29.What can we learn about AMPHIBIO? A.It can produce oxygen in the water. B.Its user can communicate with others from their mind. C.It is the unique useful tool against the threat of rising sea levels. D.The designer drew his inspiration from nature's hidden design. 30.Why did the author mention the rescue of the boys in Thailand? A.To present the success of the new de- vice.

D.Critical. 0 Some termite(白蚁)species have fig- ured out how to enjoy the shelter of the huge complex nests that the insects build without 49 高中英语选择性必修第三册（外研版） contributing to their construction.They avoid the full anger of their builder hosts by being extremely easy-going. Animals that live in the nests of another species without affecting them are known as inquilines.Inquiline termites are unique among termites in being unable to make their own nests. Instead,they live in the hallways built by a- nother termite,Constrictotermes cyphergaster. Until now,it has been unclear how the two parties kept peaceful in such tight quarters be- cause termites are typically very aggressive towards outsiders. Helder Hugo at the University of Kon- stanz in Germany and his colleagues collected Constrictotermes cyphergaster's nests in the Brazilian Cerrado and brought them into the laboratory.They then placed host and tenant (房客)termites in either open or narrow a- reas and used video to track and record the ways in which the two species reacted to each other. Right from the start,the inquiline termites moved around less than their hosts and inter- acted little with them,even in the much na- rrower area.“Many times,”says Hugo,“when two unrelated groups are put together in a lim- ited space-such as an experimental area-the outcome is conflict with losses from both sides." But that didn't happen here.Despite attacks from host termites,the tenant termites were obedient.Hosts would bite or attack the in- quilines with strong chemicals,but their tar- 50 gets never responded in the same way,choo- sing to flee.Some ignored the hosts complete- ly. "We did not expect that they would never fight back,"says Hugo,noting that the in- quilines are capable of protecting their own place with mouths."By preventing conflict going worse,inquiline termites may consider- ably improve their chances of living together with their host termites peacefully." "Passiveness does not necessarily lead to defeat,but can be a very useful strategy,sa- ving energy and resources,”she adds..“Nature may not always be red in tooth and claw,and aggression is not any more successful a strate- gy than cowardice(懦弱).” 32.What is the feature of the inquiline termites? A.They live in another termite species' nests. B.They are aggressive towards outsiders. C.They like to build their own nests. D.They are communicative tenants. 33.What do you learn about the experiment in Paragraph 3? A.The differences between the two species. B.The findings of the observation. C.The living habits of termites. D.The process of the research. 34.What does Hugo think of the inquiline ter- mites'living strategy? A.Aggressive. B.Unacceptable. C.Effective. D.Dangerous. 35.What's the best title for the text? A.The Characteristics of Termites B.Passiveness Doesn't Necessarily Lead to Defeat C.The Relationship Between Host and Tenant Termites D.Termites Use Cowardice to Avoid Their Hosts Anger 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。 24 Solar Terms:4 things you should know about Grain Buds The traditional Chinese lunar calendar di- vides the year into 24 solar terms.Grain Buds (小满)，the8 th solar term of a year,.begins on May 20 this year,and ends on June 4.In China,the 24 solar terms were created thou- sands of years ago to guide agricultural pro- duction.36.
