Unit 1 Growing up B卷 能力提升卷 (时间：120分钟满分：150分) 第一部分听力(30分)略 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） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Bitcoin has been all over the news lately.Apparently,the idea of money that's not tied to a 如 specific bank-or a specific country-is appealing to many.But it's worth remembering that the banking system that we now all live with is just that:a modern invention. In the past,money's makeup varied from place to place,depending on what was considered valuable there.Today,on an island in the Pacific,a specific type of shell still 意 serves as currency-and some people there are even hoarding it,convinced that one day, it will make them wealthy beyond imagination. On Malaita,the largest island that's part of the Solomon Islands,shells are accepted at most places in exchange for goods. “How much tuna(金枪鱼肉)you can get for your shells depends on their color and shape,"Mary Bruno,a shop owner from the city of Auki on Malaita,said."One string of darker shells might get you about two cans of tuna,but the red ones are worth more.For 的 the red ones,one string might get enough tuna to feed a big family for a long time. There's only one place on the island where the shells,which are polished and strung together to form 3-foot-long ropes,are made.The strings of red,white,and black shells all come from the Langa Langa Lagoon.Once trapped out on the islands,the locals needed a currency to use among themselves,and so the shell currency was born. 杯 Using shells for money was common throughout the Pacific islands as late as the early 1900s,but Malaita is unique in that they all still were used today.And just like Bitcoin, 阳 there are those who think the islanders are smart to invest (in this type of money, which is reported to have risen in value over the last three decades.It might seem strange to 感 keep a bunch of processed,strung-together shells,but what is a pile of dollars? 21.Which of the following can replace "hoarding"underlined in Paragraph 2? A.Appreciating. B.Storing. C.Preparing. D.Making. 22.What do Mary Bruno's words indicate? A.Tuna is a popular food for the islanders. B.Red shells are easier to get than darker ones. C.You can use darker shells to buy more things. D.The color and shape determines a shell's value 23.What does the author intend to tell in the text? A.Shells are used as money on an island. B.Bitcoin is a known modern invention. C.The banking system is gradually changing. D.People on Malaita Island live a cut-off life. B The personal development author Napoleon Hill once wrote,"Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe,it can achieve.Regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past or how lofty(崇高的)your aims and hopes may be..” This statement is especially powerful because it reminds us that we are the only ones who can be responsible for how far we will go.To reach any personal objective,we're usually required to go beyond what is safe. Stepping outside of our comfort zone is probably the most important step toward experiencing the real change.But consistency (and continuing to move forward are equally important,as it's extremely easy to slip back into old habits without realizing it. For a long time,I knew that I wanted to live in Argentina,so I bought a one-way ticket there halfway through my bachelor's degree.While I was in Argentina,I was able to finish the last two years of my course online before flying home for graduation. I currently still live in Argentina,and I can proudly say that taking the necessary steps to make it a reality was one of the most important things I ever did.Of course,I'm not implying that we should all buy one-way tickets to foreign countries and just see what happens.But it's important for us to recognize what we want and try to bring our dreams to life. Living in a comfort zone can trick us into believing that we have plenty of time when, in reality,years can fly by without us having accomplished what we really wanted to. Remember,we won't always have tomorrow to do what we could have done today.So, enjoy the discomfort we won't always have tomorrow to do what we could have done today. So,enjoy the discomfort and allow it to encourage you to try new things.You never know what you could be missing out on by remaining complacent(自满的). 24.What does the author mean by quoting Napoleon Hill's words? A.Hard work is the key to achieving aims. B.We should never lose faith even if we fail. C.Our life is full of all kinds of possibilities. D.Our own thoughts decide how far we will go. 25.What does the author suggest doing in order to achieve our aims? A.Going beyond what is safe and sticking to it. B.Getting rid of all our old habits and moving forward. C.Living a stable life and making good use of our time. D.Moving to another place to experience a different life. —6 26.What do we know about the author from his experience? A.He failed to get his bachelor's degree. B.He moved back home after graduation. C.He was satisfied with his decision about his one-way ticket. D.He was not sure if he would enjoy the life in Argentina. 27.What is the author's main purpose in writing this article? A.To share some of his important decisions in life. B.To show that we should be content with our lives. C.To persuade readers to step out of their bosses zones and pursue what they really want. D.To tell readers that they have plenty of time and always have tomorrow to do what they want. C Inside WeWork's New York City headquarters on a Thursday morning,a handful of kids were selling carrots and peppers.The children are members of WeWork's first school, WeGrow,where farming is part of the curriculum.They were interacting with WeGrow employees browsing the goods."How many carrots would you like?"One girl asked."We take Apple Pay,"another shouted. Founded in 2010,WeWork has made a name for itself as a global network of coworking spaces.WeGrow is WeWork's newest enterprise (and its first attempt in the education industry. WeGrow,a school which claims to grow "conscious leaders",is inspired by the Montessori approach to learning that gives children the freedom to explore and choose their activities,so their nature of creativity and curiosity is preserved.But the goal is not to create next-generation CEOs."Leadership is a bit of an exciting word for people,"said Rebekah,WeGrow's founder and CEO."We've seen children do such a thing forever- running a lemonade stand every time,that's what that is. WeGrow opened in the fall last year.Currently,46 kids are enrolled in classes from pre-kindergarten to fourth grade.The kids start every morning with live music,followed by yoga.They spend time in nature and choose to take either Hebrew or Mandarin courses. WeGrow students learn science,math,social studies and language arts.It also has a program for kids to connect with We Work community members with careers in areas kids might be interested in.But the main concern is that standardized tests are not available to measure the students'overall progress. They want to create an environment where people can work to make a life and not just a living,but that's part of a larger mission to raise the world's awareness towards creating a world where people are happy and fulfilled and living in a sharing state. 28.What do we know about WeGrow from the text? A.It was founded in 2010. B.It is intended for gifted kids. C.It aims to preserve kids'nature. D.It got a lot of satisfaction from parents. 29.Which of the following reflects the Montessori approach? A.All kids learn to run the lemonade stand. B.Students are allowed to establish markets in the yard. C.The school committee arranges students'activities. D.Students work hard academically to become CEOs. 30.Why is it hard to measure students'progress? A.Because there are so many courses. B.Because the students are of a wide age range. C.Because standardized tests have limitations. D.Because the school lacks professional testers. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.A Farming-featured School B.An Education-based Business C.Grow to Be a Future Leader D.Learn to Make a Life,Not Just Living 0 Two deer jumped out in front of 16-year-old Amanda Floyd's car.She put on the brake,stopping the car just in time.But later,she started texting.Distracted,Amanda turned left and right,then crashed into another car.Luckily,she wasn't in a real car-she was in a driving simulator(模拟器)at Roosevelt High School,Ohio,US.“I never really realized that cars make a turn that much,"Amanda,a junior,said.She added that she wouldn't text while driving anymore. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT)and Ohio State Highway Patrol brought the simulator to the school.They said they wanted to help students learn about the danger of driving while drunk,texting,or talking on the phone. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,distracted driving claimed 3,450 lives in 2016 alone.Experts believe the actual figure is probably higher. The simulator is basically a computer program.Like many computer games,it was a hit with the students.They lined up and crowded around to watch each other take turns. The simulator has a steering wheel(方向盘)，brake and gas pedal(油门).It is made up of three large computer screens on a table. Students choose a distraction,such as driving while drunk or texting.They always crash,of course.Then,they are pulled over by the police to be taught the bad results of their driving:how much damage they've caused,what their fine is,if anyone died in the accident,and if they're going to go to prison. "It teaches how to drive without being on the road,said Shante Thompson,16.She had just crashed into a deer. ODOT spokesman Justin Chesnic said hundreds of kids have gone behind the wheel so far.He said even more have benefited from watching their classmates. "Driving is such a major responsibility,so take it seriously,"he said."Put away your cellphone.A lot of the accidents out there are because of distracted driving.It can not only change your life,but change someone else's life forever.The results are serious. —8 32.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph One? A.Introduce the topic of the text. B.Illustrate the author's point of view. C.Provide some advice for the readers. D.Offer some background information. 33.Why is the driving simulator project introduced to Roosevelt High School? A.It tests the students'ability to stay focused. B.It gets students to have fun between classes. C.It teaches students how to deal with traffic accidents. D.It makes students aware of the dangers of distracted driving. 34.What can we know about the driving simulator? A.It is connected to the local police station. B.It is a real car but has large computer screens. C.It attracts the students'interest as a computer program. D.It benefits the students who use it more than those who only watch. 35.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Traffic rules in Ohio,US. B.Dangers of distracted driving. C.Simulated driving for students.

This family made a big impression on me.There were eight children,all probably under the age of twelve.You could tell they didn't have a lot of money.Their clothes were not expensive,but they were clean.The children were well-behaved,all of them standing in line,two-by-two behind their parents,holding hands.They were excitedly talking about the clowns,elephants and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.One could sense they had never been to the circus before.It promised to be a highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the line,standing proud as they could be. The mother was holding her husband's hand,looking up at him as if to say,"You are my knight in shining armor."He was smiling and responding in pride,looking back at her as if to say,"You got that right".The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded,"Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus." The ticket lady gave the price.The man's wife let go of his hand,lowered her head and her lips began to shake.The father leaned a little closer and asked,"How much did you say?"The ticket lady told him the price again.The man obviously didn't have enough money. How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus?Actually we were not wealthy in one sense,so I understood how the kids would feel.I felt sorry for them.

lifestyle. Compared with the past,life is made easier in the following aspects.First,it is more convenient for people to travel as a result of such new means of transportation as shared bicycles,high-speed trains.Second,people are better-informed about what is happening around the world with the help of new vehicles of communication.Third,with a smart phone in hand,people can pay for goods and services whenever and wherever they like,sparing themselves the trouble of bringing cash. Personally,it is the hard work of Chinese people that is bringing about such innovations, which,in turn,are making our life easier and happier. 第二节 参考范文： Paragraph 1: Seeing what was going on,my dad seemed to have an idea.He put his hand into his 9 pocket,pulled out a 20 bill and dropped it on the ground.Then my father picked up the bill and said,"Excuse me,sir,this fell out of your pocket."The man turned around and saw the money.He knew what was going on.He looked straight into my dad's eyes,and held my dad's hand tightly,and with his lip shaking and tears streaming down his cheeks,he replied,"Thank you,thank you,sir.This really means a lot to me and my family.” Paragraph 2: Then my father and I went back home. The 20 bill that my dad gave away was what we were going to buy our own tickets with. Although we didn't get to see the circus that night, we both felt a joy inside us that was far greater than seeing the circus could ever provide.It's more blessed to give than to receive.Nothing can be truer than that.
