必修5 Unit 3 高考试卷分块专练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A If I had to choose what language to learn next, it's a tough decision but it'd probably be German because many people that know several languages tell me that German is their favourite language in terms of expressing themselves. And I think it might have something to do with the vast amount of vocabulary the German language has. So I think it'd be really difficult but a fun challenge.‎ Elena (Canada, teacher)‎ I think I'd like to learn French next because it's a very romantic (浪漫的) language and it could be very useful in different job situations. Besides, I think it could help me understand English a bit more as well, since it was previously the language of diplomacy (外交)．‎ Bryan (USA, writer)‎ I'd love to learn Italian next. I visited Milan last year and I think it would be great to be able to speak to some of the locals. Also, it's quite similar to Spanish, so I don't think it would be too confusing.‎ Georgina (England, Olympic swimmer)‎ I'd really like to learn French. I actually learned it some years ago, but I haven't used it in a long time and I've forgotten it but it's a language that I really enjoy speaking, and I think France is a wonderful country.‎ James (New Zealand, travel writer)‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文中四人分别表述了自己最想学习的下一种语言并给出了理由。‎ ‎1．One of the reasons why Bryan wants to learn French is that ________.‎ A．it is easy to learn B．it is used frequently C．it sounds more beautiful than English D．it allows him to express himself more clearly 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“it could be very useful in different job situations”可知，在不同的工作场景中法语都非常有用。由此可推测，正是因为法语的使用频率很高，所以Bryan想学法语。‎ ‎2．We can infer that Georgina ________.‎ A．will live in Milan B．can speak Spanish C．feels puzzled about her career D．wants to make some Italian friends 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“it's quite similar to Spanish, so I don't think it would be too confusing”可推测，因为Georgina会西班牙语，所以她认为和西班牙语很像的意大利语应该不会很难学。‎ ‎3．Who is the most fearless learner?‎ A．Elena.　　　　　　　　 B．Bryan.‎ C．Georgina. D．James.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“... the vast amount of vocabulary the German language has. So I think it'd be really difficult but a fun challenge”可知，Elena明明知道德语的词汇量很大，学起来会很困难，但仍然想去尝试学德语，并认为这是项很有趣的挑战。由此不难看出，Elena是个不畏困难的学习者。‎ B What will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time. ‎ Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men ‎ are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular, the forehead will grow larger. ‎ Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.‎ On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.‎ But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald (光秃的)．‎ Perhaps all these give the impression that in the future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being，with thoughts and ‎ emotions similar to our own.‎ 语篇解读：本文对未来人会变成什么样子进行了分析和想象。‎ ‎4．The passage mainly tells us that ________.‎ A．man's life will be different in the future B．future man will look quite different from us C．man is growing taller and uglier as time passes D．man's organs' functions will be on the wane (衰退)‎ 解析：选B　主旨大意题。由第一段可知本文主要介绍未来人类的外貌可能会出现的变化。C项只是其中的一个方面。‎ ‎5．The change in man's size of forehead is probably because ________.‎ A．he/she makes use only 20% of the brain's capacity B．his/her brain has grown larger over the past centuries C．the other 80% of his/her brain will grow in due time D．he/she will use his brain more and more as time goes on 解析：选D　细节理解题。由第二段最后两句说人类将更多地使用大脑，最终大脑变大，前额变大可知答案。‎ ‎6．Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?‎ A．He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.‎ B．He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.‎ C．His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.‎ D．He thinks and feels in different ways.‎ 解析：选A　正误判断题。第五段指出人类的头发可能会消失，因为“... it does not serve a useful purpose any longer”，即头发失去作用。‎ ‎7．It is implied that ________.‎ A．human beings will become less attractive in the future B．less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration C．human beings hope for a change in the future life D．future life is always predictable 解析：选B　推理判断题。从人类身体变化可以看出，经常使用的，如大脑、手指将变得发达，而不常用的如头发、四肢会退化。‎ C The Internet of Things (IoT) aims to get everything and everyone talking. Attaching sensors (传感器) to “things”， such as cows, cars and refrigerators, and then giving them unique IP addresses allow them to “talk” to the Internet. Networking company Cisco says that 50 billion ‎ Internetconnected devices and objects will be sending data by 2020.‎ But getting back to those cows, cars and refrigerators, what types of data might they actually send? Cows might send their locations or physical conditions. Cars might communicate low oil levels and automatically schedule their own maintenance (维修). And refrigerators might send owners text messages reminding them it's time to buy milk and eggs.‎ The IoT will allow people to track things and processes like never before. Airplane manufacturers will be able to continuously track the condition of airplane parts, allowing them to do preventive (预防性的) maintenance and avoid costly downtime. Consumers could place smart devices in their homes to monitor energy usage and observe energy price changes in real time. That would allow people to change their habits and use electrical appliances during lowerpriced hours.‎ Some critics fear that the IoT could end up being a fad (流行) that people lose interest in over time. Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internetconnected appliances will provide longterm software updates. If that happens, a refrigerator or washing machine that should last 10 years or more could last two or three due to software that's outdated.‎ Early this year, owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice reminding them of a charger plug needing to be fixed. Amazingly, owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an “over the air”wireless update. Customers confirmed the update by tapping on the car's touch screen to see that the Model S was running the latest software version. No trip to the dealer was required!‎ Perhaps Tesla's remote fix is a sign of things to come. Someday soon, people's lives might become a lot more efficient and convenient thanks to the IoT.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了什么是物联网——物联网指把各种物体与信息传感设备相结合形成一个巨大网络，其目的是方便用户识别和管理。‎ ‎8．What can we learn from Paragraphs 2 & 3?‎ A．How the IoT works.‎ B．Why the IoT is so popular.‎ C．Who will benefit from the IoT.‎ D．What problems the IoT is facing.‎ 解析：选A　段落大意题。第二段是对“what types of data might they actually send？”的解释，而第三段进一步解释了物联网的功能，这些都是对物联网如何运转的介绍。‎ ‎9．The example of the Tesla Model S electric car is used to show ________.‎ A．the complexity of the IoT B．the convenience of the IoT C．the value of the Tesla electric car D．the popularity of the Tesla electric car 解析：选B　推理判断题。由倒数第二段的“owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an ‘over the air’ wireless update”可知，汽车车主只需要坐着等待就可以享受维修升级服务，故该事例说明了物联网的便捷性。‎ ‎10．What's the author's attitude towards the future of the IoT?‎ A．Hopeful. B．Worried.‎ C．Doubtful. D．Disappointed.‎ 解析：选A　作者态度题。由最后一段的“Someday soon, people's lives might become a lot more efficient and convenient thanks to the IoT.”可知，作者对物联网的未来充满了希望。‎ ‎11．What would be the best title for the text?‎ A．Fad is disappearing! B．It's time to change!‎ C．Internet is coming! D．It's all connected!‎ 解析：选D　标题归纳题。本文是对物联网的介绍——物联网指把各种物体与信息传感设备相结合形成一个巨大网络，其目的是方便用户识别和管理。D项中的connected一词正好说明了物联网把各种物品和网络连接起来的这一特性。‎ D I have lived in America's countryside for nine years, first in Michigan, where I was getting my university degree; then in central Illinois; and now in Indiana, where I am a university teacher. There were a few things I enjoyed complaining (抱怨) about in my living area. I'm a vegetarian (素食者), so there's nowhere to go out for a nice dinner without taking a 50mile drive. I'm black, so there's nowhere to get my hair done without another 50mile drive.‎ I repeated these complaints to my parents and my friends. Sometimes it seemed like complaints were the common language in my circle. We all were dissatisfied with something. Back in Illinois, my friends complained about the train to Chicago and how it's never on time; my friends in bigger cities complained about the expensive rent and strange smells on the subway.‎ Complaining allows us to accept the imperfect without having to take action. We all have great ideas about what life would be like if only we had this, or did that, or lived there. Perhaps complaining helps bridge the large space between these perfect selves and reality.‎ There's also this: I really didn't want to change most of the things I complained about. Complaining was helpful on those days when happiness required too much energy. But it also made me lose sight of something. I was born and grew up in Nebraska and have lived most of my life in one of the plains states. When I went to the coasts, I was surprised by how unattractive bigcity living can be.‎ Complaining may offer relief, but so does acceptance. There is no perfect place. There is no perfect life. There will always be something to complain about. By focusing on (关注) my complaints, I risked missing out on important moments of happiness. Now, I look up into the night ‎ sky and see all the stars. And I know that I have nothing to complain about.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。作者曾是一个爱抱怨的人，然而她最终意识到抱怨不会带来任何改变还会使她错过许多美好的时刻。‎ ‎12．What do we know about the author?‎ A．She likes driving in the countryside.‎ B．She is very picky about her hair.‎ C．She is a well educated woman.‎ D．She often goes out for dinner.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I was getting my university degree”和“I am a university teacher”可知，作者是一个受过良好教育的人。‎ ‎13．After complaining, the author probably________.‎ A．had a deeper understanding of reality B．tried to make herself more perfect C．got sadder about her situation D．remained unchanged 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Complaining allows us to accept the imperfect without having to take action.”和第四段中的“I really didn't want to change most of the things I complained about”可推测，作者抱怨过后基本不作出任何改变。‎ ‎14．What does the underlined word “something” in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A．The fact that the author liked the countryside.‎ B．The difference between small and big cities.‎ C．The difficulty in finding happiness.‎ D．The purpose of the author's life.‎ 解析：选A　代词指代题。画线词something指的是后面的两句“I was born and grew up in Nebraska and have lived most of my life in one of the plains states. When I went to the coasts, I was surprised by how unattractive bigcity living can be.”由此可知，作者想表达她所忽略的事情是：她生养于有着大片平原的内布拉斯加，并且一点儿都不羡慕大城市的生活，即：她曾经非常喜爱乡村生活的事实。‎ ‎15．The author writes the text mainly to ________.‎ A．make her complaints B．tell us to stop complaining C．compare different lifestyles D．tell us life is the same anywhere 解析：选B　写作目的题。根据最后一段特别是最后一句“And I know that I have nothing ‎ to complain about.”可知，作者写作此文旨在告诉我们应该停止抱怨生活，并且希望我们可以更多地关注生活中的美好。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 SQ3R stands for Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review. It is a proven technique to sharpen textbook reading skills. Here's how this strategy works：‎ Survey Get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights (最突出的部分)：‎ ‎__1__‎ Take note of words that are italicized (斜体) or bold (黑体)．‎ Look at charts, graphs, pictures, maps and other visual material.‎ Read the very beginning and end of the chapter.‎ Question As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. __2__ You can create questions by：‎ Turning the title or subtitles into questions；‎ Rewriting the questions at the end of the chapter in your own words.‎ Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better, and recall the information more easily later on.‎ Read Read one section of a chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points. Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs, and charts. __3__‎ Recite At the end of each section, find an answer to your question for that section. __4__ Be sure to provide examples that support it. Now repeat Question, Read and Recite steps for each section of the chapter or assigned reading.‎ Review After reading, review your notes. Identify the main points of the reading by looking for the most important idea in each section. __5__‎ Review your study notes and the summary every week to help you remember the information. When it's time to study for your tests, you'll find you've created an invaluable guide.‎ A．Read the titles and subtitles.‎ B．Then write down your answer.‎ C．First ask a question for the next section.‎ D．Write a brief summary of the chapter or assignment.‎ E．The written questions and answers will help you study in the future.‎ F．Ask what, why, how, when, who and where as they relate to the content.‎ G．These features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了五步读书法，即：浏览、提问、阅读、复述、复习。‎ ‎1．选A　根据本空前的内容可知，浏览的时候要特别注意文章中的突出部分。根据常识我们知道，“标题和副标题”在字体及字号等方面往往不同于正文，比较显眼。‎ ‎2．选F　F项中的Ask符合五步读书法中的“提问”。‎ ‎3．选G　本空前提示读者在阅读时要注意图表信息，因为“这些吸引人眼球的内容比文字更能有力地传达信息”。‎ ‎4．选B　根据“复习”部分提到的notes可知，在复述时，不仅要解答之前提问的问题，还要“把答案写下来”，并要提供支持该答案的例证。‎ ‎5．选D　根据常识及下段中的summary可知，在复习的时候要“写一个简单的总结”。‎
