单元达标测评 （考试时间：100 总分：120） 阅读理解A（共4小题；每小题2分，满分８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 schoolgirl saved her father's life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic（过敏的）reaction which stopped his heart. Izzy, nine, restarted father Colm's heart by stamping（踩）on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing. Izzy's mother, Debbie, immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father, so decided to use CPR. However, she quickly discovered her arms weren't strong enough, so she stamped on her father's chest instead. Debbie then took over with some more conventional chest compressions（按压）until the ambulance arrived. Izzy, who has been given a bravery award by her school, said: "I just kicked him really hard.My mum taught me CPR but I knew I wasn't strong enough to use hands.I was quite scared.The doctor said I might as well be a doctor or a nurse.My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his chest." "She's a little star," said Debbie."I was really upset but Izzy just took over.I just can't believe what she did.I really think all children should be taught first aid.Izzy did CPR then the doctor turned up.Colm had to have more treatment on the way to the hospital and we've got to see an expert." Truck driver Colm,35, suffered a mystery allergic reaction on Saturday and was taken to hospital, but was sent home only for it to happen again the next day.The second attack was so serious that his airway swelled, preventing him from breathing, his blood pressure dropped suddenly, and his heart stopped for a moment. He has now made a full recovery from his suffering. 【语篇解读】 本文为记叙文，题材是人物故事类。35岁的卡车司机Colm在家中因为过敏而心跳骤停，挽救他生命的不是随后赶来的救护车，也不是他的妻子，而是他还在上小学的9岁的女儿。你知道这个小女孩是怎么挽救了自己爸爸的生命的吗？是靠她那双小脚丫。 【end】 (2分)1、Izzy kicked her father in the chest ( ). A、to express her helplessness B、to practise CPR on him C、to keep him awake D、to restart his heart 【标准答案】 D 【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段的restarted father Colm's heart by stamping（踩） on his chest可知答案为D项，她这么做是为了让爸爸的心脏重新跳动。 【end】 (2分)2、What's the right order of the events?( ) ①Izzy kicked Colm. ②Debbie called 999. ③Izzy learned CPR. ④Colm's heart stopped. A、③①②④ B、④②③① C、③④②① D、④③①② 【标准答案】 C 【解析】 细节理解题。首先应该是小女儿Izzy学会了急救知识CPR③，某一天Colm的心脏突然停止了跳动④；看到这一突发状况，妻子Debbie立即拨打急救电话999①；小女儿Izzy开始用脚丫踩爸爸的胸膛进行急救。由此可知答案为C项。 【end】 (2分)3、What does Paragraph 8 mainly talk about?( ) A、What Colm suffered. B、Colm's present condition. C、What caused Colm's allergy. D、Symptoms of Colm's allergic reaction. 【标准答案】 A 【解析】 主旨大意题。由第八段的suffered a mystery allergic reaction...The second attack was so serious that...可知这一段主要是描述Colm到底患了什么病，所以答案为A项。B、D两项是该段的细节而不是主题；该段没有介绍是什么导致他过敏，故排除C项。 【end】 (2分)4、Why does the author write the news?( ) A、To describe a serious accident. B、To prove the importance of CPR. C、To report a 9-year-old girl's brave act. D、To call people's attention to allergic reaction. 【标准答案】 C 【解析】 推理判断题。作者一开始描述这个小女孩用自己的急救知识来挽救父亲生命的经过，接下来是小女孩的妈妈对此事的描述。所以作者写这篇文章就是为了向读者报道这样的一件事，所以答案为C项。 【end】 阅读理解B（共4小题；每小题2分，满分８分） A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops（笔记本电脑）. Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility（清晰度）.But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught. Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes "mindlessly" by taking down word for word what the professors said. In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills.Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts. The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts.Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts. The researchers' report said, "While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears." In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture.This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam. These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future. 【语篇解读】 本文为说明文，题材为科普知识类。主要介绍了一项研究成果：听课时用笔做笔记的学生比用笔记本电脑做笔记的学生的学习效果更好。 【长难句】 Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.研究人员做了一些实验，其目的是弄清楚使用笔记本电脑逐字记下教授所说的话是否会增加“毫不动脑地”做笔记的倾向。 本句的主干为Researchers performed experiments, that后面的句子为定语从句。在该定语从句中whether后的部分为find out的宾语从句，在该宾语从句中using a laptop为主语，increased为谓语，the tendency为宾语，to make notes “mindlessly”为定语，修饰名词tendency。 【end】 (2分)5、More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can ( ). A、write more notes B、digest concepts better C、get higher scores D、understand lectures better 【标准答案】 A 【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“越来越多的学生喜欢使用笔记本电脑来做笔记，因为使用笔记本电脑做笔记速度更快，笔记更清晰”，可知答案为A项。 【end】 (2分)6、While taking notes, laptop users tend to be ( ). A、skillful B、mindless C、thoughtful D、tireless 【标准答案】 B 【解析】 细节理解题。根据第六段可知答案为B项。 【end】 (2分)7、The author of the passage aims to ( ). A、examine the importance of long-term memory B、stress the benefit of taking notes by hand C、explain the process of taking notes D、promote the use of laptops 【标准答案】 B 【解析】 推理判断题。根据本文第一段和最后一段可知：本文作者的写作目的就是在强调用笔做笔记的益处。 【end】 (2分)8、The passage is likely to appear in ( ). A、a newspaper advertisement B、a computer textbook C、a science magazine D、a finance report 【标准答案】 C 【解析】 推理判断题。本文属于科普类文章，由此可推断出文章应出自科学杂志。故答案为C项。 【end】 阅读理解C（共4小题；每小题2分，满分８分） When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there.It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University(SMU)in Dallas, Texas.He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease.She couldn't afford the operation because her family was poor. Her mother ran a boarding house in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas.She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）.On its top page were the words, "By O.Henry." It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father.My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O.Henry, and he knew that O.Henry had once lived in Houston.So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Galveston boarding house, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident.My father visited an O.Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O.Henry's. My father then set out to sell it.Eventually, he found himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register.Cowles loved the story and bought it on the spot.My father took the money to the girl.It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed. My father never told me what the O.Henry story was about.But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story. 【语篇解读】 本文为记叙文。题材为个人情感和人际关系。讲述了作者的父亲帮助他的一位患病学生的经历。这位学生的母亲偶然发现了一本O.Henry的手稿。作者的父亲亲自去Des Moines帮助他的学生卖了这部手稿，并把钱给了他的学生。 【end】 (2分)9、Who found the O.Henry's manuscript?( ) A、The girl's mother.
