This is a novel by the English author Daniel Defoe, published in 1719.It is one of the most popular adventure novels in all literature.It is the story of Robinson Crusoe, an Englishman who is shipwrecked in a lonely tropical is- land.Robinson Crusoe had been lived in the island for thirty years. I think I should learn many things from him.On the one hand,we should learn Robinson Crusoe's optimism Although Robinson Crusoe got into trouble,he was opti- mistic.And in the real society,we also should be opti- mistic.If we meet difficulties,we don't choose to escape. 112 We should seek for the methods to settle it.On the other hand,I was struck by Robinson Crusoe's independence. The old saying "There is no perfect life in the world,but we can change our fate."If we have confidence and work hard,we absolutely will be successful,and the most impor- tant thing is:Never give up!We can achieve many things from the book-Robinson Crusoe.Next time,you might as well try this book. 第二节（满分25分） Paragraph 1: A few weeks later,when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news.My name was announced as the win- ner in the writing contest.There,when I accepted the award,my heart skipped a beat,my breath caught in my throat,and tears filled my eyes.I had achieved something that I never thought was possible.My hard work paid off! My teacher was right:I did have a good shot at this Paragraph 2: I went to my teacher's office after the award presentation. Before I told him the good news,his face broadened into a grin."Congratulations!You won the battle,Revere's horse!"He laughed out loud.His words filled me with confidence.“Thank you！”I expressed my sincerest grati- tude to my teacher.It was then that I truly understood what I had accomplished was not just about winning a contest, but about realizing my own potential.The teacher's belief in me had given me the courage to try and to put in the effort.At that moment,gratitude enveloped me,for I dis- covered how profound an impact a single person can have on others >"Unit2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 BCBAC 第二节（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） 6~10 ABCBC 11~15 AACCB 16~20 CABCC Text 1 M:This year our sales increased by 23% W:What caused the increase? M:Well,the harvest of oranges,bananas and some other fruits was good.Prices dropped and so sales in- creased. Text 2 M:Would you like to get a PhD in something? W:Yeah,maybe one day.But it's impossible right now.I have my job and the kids.I'd have to study at mid- night! M:Oh,yeah.That would be difficult Text 3 W:The weather forecast says it will be sunny and hot this Saturday.How about going to the beach? M:Sorry.The beach never appeals to me.I prefer staying at home and watching the football match all day. Text 4 M:What are you thinking right now,Lucy? W:Can't you see?I'm thinking that if you were quiet, I could get my homework done.But it is difficult for me to concentrate on it since you are always talking. Text 5 M:Did you read about us online? W:No.I work on Albert Street,not far away. M:So you saw our sign? W:Actually I didn't notice it until this evening.A woman in my company comes here and swims every lunchtime.So I'm hoping to join her. Text 6 W:Does your father have any sisters or brothers? M:Oh,yes,I have an uncle,and my uncle Charles's pretty famous,actually. W:What does he do? M:Medical research.A lot of his research has been published in medical journals.And he's also famous for his young age when he started.He's been doing medical re- search for ten years and he's only 25. W:Wow,sounds amazing!Clever man! Text 7 M:Shally,I don't know how to get along well with other clerks in the office.I'm upset W:Why not chat and make small talk?It can improve your relations with others. M:Isn't it a waste of time doing that? W:It's not wasting time if you do it at certain times. Basically,during breaks and at lunch.Also,small talk should not be viewed as a time to get personal information That's impolite.Well,in fact,it's not difficult to make small talk. M:Hmm,I see.What else? W:John,I know this is important,but can we talk af- ter work?We have a project to complete before the end of the day.Don't you remember the deadline?How about a conversation over lunch? M:OK. 参考答案。 Text 8 W:Dad,look at this friendship quiz.A teacher gave it to me. M:Why don't you try it? W:Just a moment.I'll get a pen from my desk. M:OK.Well,the first question:How often do you get in touch with your friends?Twice a week or more? W:Hmm...my friends aren't in the same school as me. And I dislike ringing people up.I don't call my friends even once a week. M:That means "seldom".Secondly,how many friends can you talk with to calm yourself down when you are very upset. W:Oh,I can think of none.I usually talk with you or Mum when I feel sad. M:Poor Rose!You can't rely on us all the time.The last question:Your friend wants to talk with you face to face.Where would you have the talk? W:Well,we can't talk in the classroom.Maybe I could meet her in a cafe?No,I think I would talk to her in a shopping centre.We can talk and shop at the same time. M:Let's add up your score and see how many points you've got.Oh,Susan,you've only got 7!I think you should get along with your friends.Why not call or visit them often? W:You're right,Dad! Text 9 W:It has been said that if you want something done quickly you should find the busiest people to do it.Why do you think this is true? M:Because they have more time? W:Well,I don't think so.Everyone has 24 hours in each day. M:Is it because they can arrange their time to fit a new task? W:Very good answer.Some people are natural or- ganisers,but most of us,however,have to plan our time carefully in order to finish everything.Most of you have housework to do at home and most of you probably put it off until a time you want to do it.However,if you did them immediately,they would be finished and you wouldn't have to think about them. M:But how can we organise our time? W:Well.First,you could make a list of your tasks- including everything you want to do,even the fun things. Then write down the time you set aside for sleeping and connect the remaining hours with the tasks you listed first. 113 高中英语选择性必修第二册（外研版） Please do this for the next class and we will compare how different people manage their own 24 hours per day Text 10 Hello,boys and girls.Today I want to talk about savings.Not everyone knows clearly how to build personal savings,but a savings plan started on a website has helped many put away a nice tidy sum.The fifty-two week money challenge is simple and if it is maintained,it will result in 1.378 dollars in your savings account each year.It starts with saving an amount equal to 1 dollar in week 1,2 dollars in week 2,3 dollars in week 3 and continues right through the year until 52 dollars in week 52.While these are small amounts,at the end of the year,you will have enough money for an emergency fund,family celebration or holiday.Another simple way of building some savings is by saving as little as two per cent of your monthly income into a savings account.The key is that before bills and the cost of living start to eat away at your salary,you should put aside part of your pay.Once you have reached a thousand dollars,you'll find you probably have the motivation to continue to save even more. 第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 21~25 BCABA 26~30 CBDBC 31~35 DCBAD 21.B【解析】细节理解题。根据第一条介绍的最后 一句可知，在买方和卖方会面讨论业务之后，他们发现
