Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city.When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes,he decided to take part.He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.

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 CBCDA 31~35 BDCAA 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 了问题的根源：买方的代理中介起了制造麻烦的作用。 故选B。 22.C【解析】细节理解题。根据第三条介绍的最后 一句可知，这是他们赢得你信任的一种方式。故选C。 23.A【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一条介绍的最 后一句可知，在这种情况下，可以征求另一位律师的意 见，看看这种行为是否合适。故选A。 24.B【解析】细节理解题。由第一段可知，“挑 战”源于地貌多样性的缺乏，而由第二段中的“I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside..”可知，作者应对这个挑战的方法就是和 朋友经常去州立公园或乡村拍摄。故选B。 25.A【解析】细节理解题。第三段开头提到“Be ing at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography.”及下文中作者又提到，他们曾因 到达拍摄地点后时间太紧张，没来得及准备好而错过了 很多美丽的日出日落，由此可知，作者认为合理管理时 间是风景摄影成功的关键。故选A。 26.C【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“We managed to leave this spot...ended up almost missing the sunset entirely..”可知，因为距离日落还有一些时间，所 114 以作者和朋友决定爬到更高的位置，但结果差点儿就完 全错过了日落，由此推知，他们到达拍摄地点的时间比 预期的要晚。故选C。 27.B【解析】观点态度题。根据最后一段中的 "Still,looking back on the photos,they are some of my best shots.”可知，作者对在魔鬼湖拍的照片还是很满 意的。故选B。 28.C【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“Now,a new study finds children who set big goals in terms of their future career and education often set themselves up for success as they get older.”以及第二段“The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology by Rodica Damian,a professor of psychology at the Uni- versity of Houston,are the first to relate life goal develop- ment to future success in school or the workplace.”可知， 这项新研究的意义在于揭示了人生目标与未来成功之间 的联系。故选C。 29.D【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段“During the study,researchers compared how these goals changed as children moved from adolescence to adulthood and how a person's goals impacted their success in school and as a worker later on.To do this,the team examined two youth groups from Iceland who were followed for 12 years. 研究过程中，研究人员比较了随着孩子们从青少年时期 步人成年，这些目标是如何变化的，以及一个人的目标 是如何影响他们后来在学校和工作中的成功的。为了做 到这一点，研究小组对来自冰岛的两个青年群体进行了 为期12年的跟踪调查。)”可知，研究人员是通过比较 参与者的长期信息来进行这项研究的。故选D。 30.A【解析】词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Over all,a child's goals focusing on their education and future success in life were concordant with their income in adult- hood throughout their life.Simply put,when a child dreams big about doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult,these goals accurately paint a picture of how successful these children will be.”可推知，此处 是说孩子的目标与他们成年后的收入是一致的，能够准 确地预测他们未来的成功，画线词意为“一致的”。故 选A。 31.B【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“So,the message is simple:dream big and dream of success,kids! If you can dream it,.you can be it.”可推知，作者建议孩 子们要志存高远，有雄心勃勃的目标。故选B。 32.D【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“Fake it till you make it'is an expression in which a person imi- tates (the confidence or skills they need to succeed in what they are doing in the hope that they will eventually feel real.Advocates of this idea say you can fake confi- dence and hope that,eventually,it will inspire real confi- dence.”可知，有些人采用这一策略是为了通过模仿获 得自信。故选D。 33.C【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“t may not work when dealing with hard skills,assisting oth- ers,or faking who you are.For example,it is incredibly hard to fake technical skills and competence like software experience.It's also hard to assist others if you lack under- standing of the subject.(在处理硬技能、帮助他人或伪 装自我时，这一策略可能行不通。例如，很难假装拥有 软件经验等技术技能和能力。如果你对某一主题缺乏了 解，也很难帮助他人。)”可知，在教授他人计算机技 能，如硬技能时，该策略可能无效。故选C。 34.A【解析】词义猜测题。根据第五段“One study shows that it can snowball into imposter syndrome,which can arise when individuals feel their success is undeserved and fear being exposed as a fake.Unfortunately,faking it till you make it can exacerbate that syndrome,leading to avoidance and negative impacts on productivity and well- being.”可知，画线词所在句承接前文“引发冒名顶替 综合征”，画线词后文提到导致人们产生回避心理，并 对生产力和幸福感产生负面影响。由此可知，此处进一 步说明该策略会“恶化”这一症状，所以，画线词的意 思与“恶化”意义相近。故选A。 35.A【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的 "Fake it till you make it'can be a useful approach for some,while it can also contribute to imposter syndrome for others.(‘假装成功直到真的成功’对某些人来说是有用 的方法，而对另一些人来说则可能引发冒名顶替综合 征。)”可知，作者认为这一策略既有积极一面，也有消 极影响，持客观辩证的态度。故选A。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）》 36~40 GFADE 36.G【解析】根据空白处前“In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the univer- sity and college experience.”可知，在过去的几年里，在 线学习已成为大学生活中的重要组成部分。G选项“一 项调查发现，29%的大学生注册了在线课程”为空白处 前的观点提供数据支持，说明在线学习在大学中的普及 程度。故选G。 37.F【解析】空白处前连续用了两个疑问句。根据 空白处后“We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses.”可知，我们采访了学 生和教授，听取了他们对在线课程的建议，F选项“如 果你选择在线课程，你能做些什么来确保取得最好的成 绩”与空白处前的问句一起引出空白处后的内容，符合 参考答案。 语境。故选F。 38.A【解析】根据空白处前“在线学习最明显的优 点是可以随时随地学习”，以及空白处后“我认为很多 人都忽略了一点，那就是学习进度很容易滞后”可知， A选项“但这并不意味着没有截止日期”与空白处前 “可以随时随地学习”形成对比，并且呼应了后面的 “学习进度”。A选项中的deadlines和本段中的anytime 和fall behind schedule相呼应。故选A。 39.D【解析】根据空白处后的“He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades..”可知， 空白处会提供关于He的信息。D选项“Alex Davidson 教授在面授和在线的课程中教授相同的课程”与空白处 后提到的“在线学习的同学通常会获得较低的成绩”形 成对比。故选D。 40.E【解析】此空白处位于段落的开头，即段落主 题句的位置。空白处后涉及的关键词和内容有a social connection、ease this problem、suggests及几点建议。E 选项“对在线课程的主要抱怨是缺少人际交流”，概括 了本段的主要内容，且E选项中的human interaction与 本段的a social connection,with a friend,class discussion, a study group,in-person meetings相呼应。故选E。 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 41~45 CAACB 46~50 ACDBB 51~55 AADDC 41.C【解析】根据下文可知，30年前，我在纽约 的一所学校上学。故选C。 42.A【解析】根据第二段末尾的test一词可以判 断，我们在进行考试。故选A。 43.A【解析】根据下文内容可知，我和那些同学都 作弊了，所以犯了同样的错误。故选A。 44.C【解析】根据下文可知，放学后老师把我们留 下来抄写句子。故选C。 45.B【解析】老师什么也没问，也没有责骂我们。 故选B。 46.A【解析】她只是在黑板上写下了文章开篇提到 的Thomas Macaulay的名言。故选A。 47.C【解析】老师让我们在作业本里把这句话抄写 100遍。故选C。 48.D【解析】根据下一句可知，我不清楚其他十一 个男孩的情况。故选D。 49.B【解析】根据上文内容可知，我得到了教训， 学到了人生中最宝贵的一课。故选B。 50.B【解析】在读了Thomas Macaulay的话三十年 后，这句话对我来说仍然是最好的衡量标准，因为这给 了我一种衡量自己而不是他人的方法。故选B。 51.A【解析】同上。故选A。 52.A【解析】我们很少有人被要求就国家参战或军 115 高中英语选择性必修第二册（外研版） 队参战做出重大决定。故选A 53.D【解析】但我们每天都需要做出许多个人决定 故选D。 54.D【解析】在街上捡到的钱包应该放进口袋，还 是交给警察呢？故选D。 55.C【解析】在商店被多找的零钱，是应该忘记还 是还回呢？故选C 第二节（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56.subjectively 57.satisfying 58.or 59.to 60.is called 61.events 62.admiration 63.the 64.to maximize 65.what 56.subjectively【解析】考查副词。作状语，修饰形 容词，意为“主观上地”。故填subjectively。 57.satisfying【解析】考查形容词。作定语，修饰 名词goals,表“令人满意的”。故填satisfying。 58.or【解析】考查连词。根据句意“想想在漫长 的冬季过后，你停下脚步欣赏的第一只蝴蝶或是想象在 一次身心舒畅的徒步旅行后在山顶看到的风景”可知， 前后句之间是选择关系。故填or。 59.to【解析】考查介词。be open to意为“乐于接 受…”，是固定搭配。故填0。 60.is called【解析】考查动词时态语态和主谓一 致。讲述客观情况，应用一般现在时；主语This ele- ment表单数，且与动词call之间是被动关系，应用被动 语态。故填is called。 6l.events【解析】考查名词复数。event意为“事 件”，为可数名词，根据后面的hey可知，此处表复数 含义。故填events。 62.admiration【解析】考查词性转换。作动词的宾 语，应用名词，表“欣赏”。故填admiration。 63.the【解析】考查冠词。on the go为固定搭配， 意为“非常忙碌”。故填the。 64.to maximize【解析】考查非谓语动词。attempt to do sth.意为“试图做某事”，是固定用法。故填to maximize。 65.what【解析】考查名词性从句。分析句子结构 可知，空处引导宾语从句，且在从句中作主语，意为 “.…的事情”。故填what。 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） Now many parents often love their children so much that children may become quite selfish.They always think of themselves,and seldom think of others,so it's difficult for them to get along with their classmates,teachers and even their parents.As a student,I think it necessary to have a good relationship with others.We should learn to communicate with others and should help and care about 116 each other. 第二节（满分25分） Paragraph 1: Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead.
