人教版高一英语必修一Unit2测试试题(2)
第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
What is language for?Some people seem to think it’s for practising grammar rules and learning lists of words-the longer the lists，the better.That’s wrong.Language is for the exchange(交流)of ideas and information.It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely.Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules，but they can’t speak correctly or fluently(流利地).They are afraid of making mistakes.One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language.Native speakers make mistakes and break rules，too.Bernard Shaw once wrote，“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.”But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make.They’re English mistakes in the English language.And if enough native speakers break a rule，it is no longer a rule.What used to be wrong，becomes right.People not only make history，they make language.But a people can only make its own language.It can’t make another people’s language.So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar，but they shouldn’t overdo(做过头)it.They should put communication(交际)first.
56.Language is used to________.
A.express oneself
B.practise grammar rules
C.talk with foreigners only
D.learn lists of words
解析：选A。细节理解题。由第四句“Language is for the exchange of ideas and information.”可知语言是用来交流的，因此应选择express oneself，其含义是“表达自己的意图;让别人明白自己”。
57.Generally，when an American or an Englishman speaks English，he or she________.
A.never makes mistakes
B.often makes mistakes
C.can’t avoid making mistakes
D.always makes mistakes
解析：选C。文中提到“Native speakers make mistakes and break rules，too”，而且下文也提到类似的情况，所以答案为C项，“不可避免地犯错误”。
58.The sentence“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.”means that________.
A.foreigners speak correct English
B.foreigners speak incorrect English
C.foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules
D.foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English
解析：选C。根据上下文可知，母语不是英语的人在学英语时，首先要学许多的语法规则，所以他们说话时总是套规则。
59.When we speak a foreign language，we should________.
A.speak in Chinese way
B.speak by the rules
C.speak to native speakers
D.not be afraid of making mistakes
解析：选D。推理判断题。通过文章我们知道语言的作用是交流，而且更明确在学习外语时，我们不仅要学语法，更重要的是学会使用这种语言交往，当然不能怕犯错误。
B
Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes?Let’s have a look.
People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies.We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants.Sometimes，people may get caught with their pants down.They are found doing something they should not be doing.And，in every family，one person takes control.Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do.Then we say she wears the pants in the family.
Pants usually have pockets to hold things.Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket.Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants.If you have less money than usual，you may have to tighten your belt.
I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much.I really take my hat off to them.Yet，when it comes to my own money，I spend it at the drop of a hat，which means I instantly spend it.
Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes.People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are.I dislike such people.
My father is an important person.He runs a big company.He wears a suit and tie，and a shirt with sleeves that cover his arms.Some people who do not know him well think he is too serious and never shows his feelings openly.But I know that my father wears his heart on his sleeve.
【解题导语】 本文向我们介绍了一些英语中与衣服有关的表达。
60.What is this passage mainly about?

A.has done something wrong
B.used to live a rich life

C
If you want to help children develop language and speech skills，UCLA researchers say，listening to what they have to say is just as important as talking to them.
The effect of a conversation between a child and an adult is abou t six times as great as the effect of adult speech input (输入) alone，the researchers found.“Adults speaking to children helps language develop，but what matters much more is the interaction，”said the study’s lead author，Frederick Zimmerman，an associate professor in the School of Public Health at the University of California，Los Angeles.The researchers also found that TV viewing didn’t have much of an effect-positively or negatively-as long as it wasn’t displacing conversations between an adult and a child.
The UCLA study included 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old.They represented a variety of incomes and education.The researchers found that， in an average day，children hear about 13,000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adultchild conversations a day.
Assessed separately，factors po sitively associated with language development included each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1,000 word increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children.When looked at alone，TV was negatively associated with language development.But，when the three factors were analyzed together，the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children.
“The more a child speaks and interacts with an adult，the better idea a parent has about where the child is，” Zimmerman said.“Although it’s mostly done unconsciously，parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes.They’ll also tailor their speech to the child.Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what they’re doing，such as，“I’m putting on your pajamas now.But give your child the opportunity to talk，hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment，”she added.“If parents can carve out some conversation time-maybe at bath time or at dinner time-that’s a wonderful thing.”
【解题导语】 研究发现，父母和孩子之间的交谈对孩子语言的发展至关重要。这种交谈必须是双向的、互动的。
64.The researchers also found that TV viewing ________.
A.could have a positive effect on a child’s language development
B.had a little effect on a child’s language development
C.affected a child’s language development more negatively than positively
D.affected a child’s language development both negatively and positively
解析：选B。细节理解题。从文章第二段最后一句可知，看电视对孩子没有多少影响，无论是积极的还是消极的。
65.Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree that ________.
A.parents should let their children talk most of the time
B.children should watch TV programs selectively
C.the conversation between parents and children should be twoway
D.it’s no good for parents to correct their children’s mistakes when they are speaking
解析：选C。推理判断题。从文章第二段内容可知，Zimmerman 强调父母跟孩子之间交谈的双向性和互动性才是更重要的。
66.We can conclude from the last paragraph that ________.
A.parents should let a child repeat what he or she says
B.bath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a child
C.parentchild conversation can be carried out at any proper time
D.parents should leave a child talking alone
解析：选C。推理判断题。从文章最后一段可知，父母应该随时创造跟孩子交谈的机会，时间的选择是非常灵活的。
67.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Talk with kids，not at them
B.Let your children voice their own opinions
C.How to develop a child’s language ability
D.The importance of early child language development
解析：选A。主旨大意题。根据文章内容分析，文章强调父母和孩子之间的交流，而且强调交流的互动性，因此A项符合文章的主旨，适合作本文标题。
D
There are many differences between British English and American English.I used to teach a course about the differences between the two.We speak English on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean but we have many differences in our common language.We have examples of the same words having very d ifferent meanings，differing spellings of the same words as well as completely different words for the same things.Here are some examples.
A cookie in the US is called a biscuit in the UK.A biscuit in the US is a small cake in the UK.Crisps in the UK，are known as chips，but we British people eat a plate of chips that you call fries in the US.In the UK，a pie can be made from either meat or fruit，while in the US pies are normally made from fruit;pot pies are made from meat.Most things are measured in grams and kilograms in the US，not pounds and ounces.
One very obvious(明显的)difference is the side of the road we each choose to drive on.Petrol in the UK is gas in the US.The place where we fill up our cars，in the UK，is a garage;while in the US，it’s a gas station.The term garage is also used as a place to store your car next to or close by your house.In the UK we call a lorry what is known as a truck in the US.
An elevator in the US is called a lift here，and the first floor in the US，is calle d the ground floor here，so many visitors get off on the wrong floor in British hotels.
I could continue with this.There are countless examples of differences within our one shared language.With so many differences，no wonder it’s hard to understand each other well.

Is there anything more important than health?I don’t think so.You can’t be good at your studies or work when you are ill.
If you have a headache，or a bad cough，if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold，I think you should go to the doctor.
The doctor will examine your throat，feel your pulse，take your temperature，sound your heart and lungs.After that he will advise some treatment，or some medicine.The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking of doctor’s advice，I can’t help telling you a funny story.
An old man came to see the doctor.The man was very ill.He told the doctor about his weakness，memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs.The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.
He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest.He also advised him to eat a lot of meat，drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks.In other words，the doctor advised him to follow the rule：“Eat at pleasure，drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.”The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again，he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office.He looked cheerful and happy.He thanked the doctor and said that he_had_never_felt_a_healthier_man.
“But you know，doctor，”he said，“it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”
72.The writer thinks that ________.
A.health is more important than wealth
B.work is as important as studies
C.medicine is more important than pleasure
D.nothing is more important than money
解析：选A。文中开头讲“还有什么比健康更重要的吗?我认为没有”，即“我认为健康是最重要的”。
73.The doctor usually tells his patient what to do ________.
A.without examining the patient
B.after he has examined the patient
C.if the patient doesn’t take medicine
D.unless the patient feels pain
解析：选B。文中第三段交代“After that he will advise some treatment，or some medicine.”。that就是指代前面提到的“检查”。
74.The underlined part means“________”.
A.he was feeling better than ever
B.he wasn’t a healthy man
C.he was feeling worse than before
D.he will be well again
解析：选A。“以前从来没有感觉到自己是一个健康的人”，即采纳了医生的建议后感到舒服。文中用的是过去完成时，强调过去的过去感到自己不是一个健康的人，而现在则相反。
75.From the last sentence of the passage，we learn the man ________ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A.was a heavy smoker
B.didn’t smoke so much
C.didn’t smoke
D.began to learn to smoke
解析：选C。这里有些幽默，上文提到医生说“每天抽烟不要超过一支”，而以前这个病人并不抽烟，采纳医生的建议后就每天抽一支烟。
