B(2025·金华期末改编) ★★★ "Going on holiday with blind people opens your eyes,says Wendy Coley.She often goes on tours with Travel Eyes,a company that takes tourists traveling around the world.For each tour,half of the people can see and half can't.A person who can see travels with a person who can't.The world is there for sighted( people but that can cause problems for the blind.So,sighted members might describe the size and color of a building,or the smiles of strangers passing by.They might explain the food,"Our lunch is a sandwich in the center of your plate,and chips in a bowl to the right of your plate."A Clearly,it is good for blind travelers.They are able to learn about new places and make new friends."You don't worry about danger anymore.That's really important,"says Jenny Tween,a blind tourist.But it is also of benefit()to sighted travelers.Wendy is one of them.She says when you describe what you see,you see things in a very different way.The tour manager Hannah Vince agrees,"Sighted people learn a lot from these trips.It's a two-way thing."Traveling with blind people and describing the world to them makes sighted people go more slowly and look more closely at colors,shapes,and the sizes of things.Blind people can also help sighted people find out more about the smells of food or flowers,and the sounds of music or traffic. In the end,this isn't a story about people who can see helping people who can't.It's about people with different abilities showing each other new ways of experiencing the world and meeting new friends. ()5.What do we know about tours with Travel Eyes? A.Most of the tourists are blind people. B.They are organized by Wendy Coley. C.A blind person travels with a sighted person. D.Blind people join in the tours at half the price. ()6.What does the underlined word "They"in Paragraph 1 refer to? A.Tourists. B.Strangers. C.Blind people. D.Sighted members. ()7.创新考法·句子还原Which of the following sentences can be put in“▲”？ A.They also need to help blind travelers cross the road. B.Sometimes,they describe the sounds around,like children laughing in the park. C.The tour manager always checks if everyone is safe. D.Blind travelers often share their own stories with sighted ones. ()8.What is the best title for the passage? A.Shared travel B.Help blind people C.A happy holiday D.Travel around the world C ★★★ One minute,your noodles are boiling happily in a pot.Then,you look away for just a second,and there it is:a hot,bubbling(mess all over the stove().Why does this happen,and how can you stop it? When you are cooking noodles and dumplings,plant starches()cause the pot to boil over.Some starch particles()are too big to mix fully with water.When the heat rises and water starts bubbling,these large 11 particles coat the bubbles,making them grow and spill over(谥出).If you boil milk,the casein(酪蛋白)in the milk can also make bubbles.Have you seen a film on top of boiled milk?When heated,casein can become as strong as plastic and cover the bubbles.The bubbles are often smaller and become more like foam(),but they can still rise quickly.Placing a wooden spoon on top of a pot can be helpful.It cools down the very top part of what's inside. At the same time,the wood has many small holes in it.These holes can help break the bubbles by giving space for the air in the bubbles to run out.However,this only works for a little while.When the spoon touches the bubbles,it becomes as hot as what's in the pot. Also,the spoon isn't great at popping bubbles because the water can cover its holes,just like how air can't move through a wet sponge()easily.Stirring()the pot or using a wooden spoon to fan the bubbles works,too.Better yet,try to stay focused in the kitchen and use a bigger pot. ()9.创新考法·行文方式How does the writer introduce the topic? A.By explaining a scientific event. B.By introducing a cooking skill. C.By describing a common situation. D.By providing advice on cooking. ()10.According to Paragraph 2,why does starchy water boil over? A.Water bubbles get hot quickly. B.There is too much food in the pot. C.Starch makes bubbles grow bigger. D.Starch particles mix well with water. ()11.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A.How wooden spoons help with boiling-overs. B.What the best way to use a wooden spoon is. C.Why wood is normally used to make spoons. D.How a wooden spoon can be used safely in a boiling pot. ()12.What does the underlined word "popping"in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Covering. B.Creating. C.Breaking. D.Cooling. 二、(2025·湖南改编)任务型阅读。（共4小题，每小题3分，满分12分） ★★★ Make a difference to your school Your school offers great chances to study,make friends and try new things.Each term,you have time to use these chances.Also,there is time to think of ways to make a difference to your school.1 Learn more about your school.To learn what happens around your school,you can join teams or clubs in your school and take part in activities.2 These people can give you a better understanding of your school.

Unit4拔尖测评 一、1.A细节理解题。根据第三段中 "Together,they pushed the car,and soon it started again with a loud noise..”可知，他们通过推 车帮助年轻人重新启动了汽车。 2.C推理判断题。根据文章可知，交通堵塞的原 因是年轻人的车出了故障。当车被修好并开走后， 造成堵塞的直接原因已消除，因此交通很可能恢复 顺畅。A、B选项与问题解决后的逻辑不符；D选 项在文中没有相关信息支持，无法推断。 3.C推理判断题。根据第三段中“..Wang Ping quickly went to help the man.Four other drivers followed him.”及主动助人的行为可推断， 他具有“热心肠”的特质。 4.D主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“during difficult times,we should focus on solving the problem instead of blaming others.Also, forgiving others is a smart choice because it can stop fights and spread kindness.”可知，文章核心 是倡导解决问题与宽容他人而非指责他人。 5.C细节理解题。根据“For each tour,half of the people can see and half can't.A person who can see travels with a person who can't.”可知， 个视力正常的人和一个盲人一起旅行。 6.D代词指代题。根据“So,sighted members might describe the size and color of a building,or the smiles of strangers passing by.They might explain the food”可知，视力正常的人可能会描述 建筑物的大小和颜色，或者路过的陌生人的微笑。 他们也许会解释食物的情况，故They指代的是前 文提到的sighted members。 7.B推理判断题。前文提及“视力正常的成员为 盲人描述建筑、陌生人的微笑，解释食物的情况”， 空处应继续补充视力正常的人对感官信息的描述， B项符合语境。 8.A标题概括题。通读全文并根据“It's about people with different abilities showing each other new ways of experiencing the world and meeting new friends..”可知，文章的核心是“共享旅行”。 9.C行文方式题。作者在开头描述了一个常见 场景—煮面条时稍不注意就溢出到灶台上，由此 引出主题。 l0.C推理判断题。根据“plant starches cause the pot to boil over...these large particles coat the bubbles,making them grow and spill over" 知，淀粉分子附着在气泡上，使气泡变大进而溢出。 11.A段落大意题。第三段围绕“把木勺放在锅 上有助于防止溢出”展开，解释了木勺的作用原理。 因此，段落核心是“木勺如何帮助解决溢出问题”。 12.C词义猜测题。前文提到木头上的小孔可以 帮助打破气泡，且由because the water can cover its holes可知，水盖住了孔洞，这个勺子就不适合 用来打破气泡，故pop与break意思相近。 二、1~4.BCEA 三、1.A根据out of the shop可知，父亲去了 商店。 2.B根据her younger brother Mikey和“Mikey wasn't wearing a seat belt.”可知，此处用he指代 Mikeyo 2 3.A根据on a small hill可知，车停在小山 坡上。 4.C根据语境可知，车门对于4岁的女孩来说太 重了。 5.D Terry不知道怎么办，do后缺少宾语，故用 what. 6.B根据But running right in front of him was someone else可知，父亲冲出商店。 7.C根据put the brake on可知，应该是踩刹车， 让车停下来。 8.C根据without thinking twice可知，陌生人 不顾危险，勇敢地救人。 9.A根据acted immediately可知，事情发展 迅速。 10.D根据语境可知，他只是看到需要做什么， 此处填just,强调毫不犹豫。 四、A.l.is worn2.on the way in 3.fashionable 4.to buy 5.public B.1.really 2.public 3.pale 4.goodwill 5.decided 6.inviting 7.arrived 8.purple 9.lucky 10.warmth 五、One possible version: Boys and girls,may I have your attention, please?We've just got the news that there was a big flood in some areas near our city.Many people have lost their homes and really need help from others.In order to help them,our school has decided to hold a donation activity on the school playground from 3:00 to 5:00 this Friday afternoon.Please take clothes and books there, but no food please,because it is not easy to keep fresh.Your support will greatly help them overcome their difficulties.Also,please ask your family members and friends to join us.
