單元綜合檢測(時間：100分鐘；滿分：120分).閱讀理解(共15小題；每小題2分；滿分30分)ATheres been a lot of talk about white and blue collar workers，and you may have even heard of gold collar workers，but lately a new color of collar is making its way into Chinas urban vernacular (方言)green.Green collars say no when work is life and life is work.They choose to get out of the fast lane，and explore new ways of living “green”Living green doesnt mean someone is working as an environmentalist，biologist or scientist.Instead，it is more of a lifestyle choice.A typical green collar is welleducated like a white collar but physically tough like a blue collar，likely born in the 70s or 80s and living in one of Chinas big cities，with a monthly income well above 5，000 yuan.The life of a green collar may go something like this：turn off the mobile phone after work，eat only healthy food rich in vitamins，go out on hikes every weekend，and like to help the underprivilegedGreen collars even have their own club.In Beijing，the Green Collar Club is for people who share a“be happy，healthy and helpful” spirit.The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief projects in China.“They are successful in their careers，but do not miss the pleasures in life.They have a lot of money，but do not fall slave to it，” said Zuo Shiguang，one of the founding members of the club.【語篇解讀】本文介紹了當(dāng)今中國大城市中新興的“綠領(lǐng)”一族的生活方式。1What is the text mainly about?AThe appearance of gold collar workers.BThe increasing awareness of environmental protection.CThe lifestyle of green collars.DNew trends in big cities of China.【解析】主旨大意題。文章第一段引出“綠領(lǐng)”的話題，下文主要介紹了中國大城市新興的“綠領(lǐng)”的生活方式?！敬鸢浮緾2Green collars are living green because Athey devoted themselves to environmental protectionBthey spend a lot of time in the openCthey refuse to live an unhealthy lifeDthey have a large income【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二、三段可知，之所以稱為“綠領(lǐng)”，是因為他們追求健康的生活方式，注重環(huán)保僅僅是其中一方面的表現(xiàn)。故選C?！敬鸢浮緾3Which of the following best describes Zuo Shiguangs attitude towards green collars?AScolding.BAppreciative.CDoubtful.DNeutral.【解析】推理判斷題。從最后一段可知，Zuo Shiguang是“綠領(lǐng)”俱樂部的創(chuàng)辦人之一，對“綠領(lǐng)”們的生活方式非常欣賞。故選B?！敬鸢浮緽4The underlined part “the underprivileged” in the third paragraph probably refers to those Ain unfavorable conditionsBin faraway placesCpoorly educatedDin heavily polluted areas【解析】詞義猜測題。從第三段可知，“綠領(lǐng)”們把幫助弱勢群體當(dāng)作自己的責(zé)任。A項最貼切。【答案】ABShould you stay at home to look after your child，or return to work?Maybe you dont have the option.Combining work and motherhood is an issue faced by an increasing number of women every day.New research by the Institute for Economic and Social Research could solve this modernday quandary once and for all.In short，it concludes that going back to work after the birth of a child can have a negative impact on a childs developmentunless you have lots of money.“Growing up in a family in which the mother chooses to work appears to have some adverse consequences for childrens welfare，” the research says.However，it adds that extra money brought in by both parents can lessen some negative effect.The negative effect is also less apparent in children of bettereducated mothers.“It is hard to see anything but gloomy prospects for the children of single parents (who are generally poor)，”the researchers said.This is because in a traditional family where both parents work，extra money brought in by the mother working would compensate for less time spent with the child.In contrast，the researchers said the effects of paternal (父親的) employment were far more modest，but this did not mean that fathers had no role in shaping their childrens wellbeing.Money brought in by the father would be a major resource for helping children develop.The research says，however，that before parents get too carried away by worrying about working，there are more important issues facing a childs development.Parents personalities and emotional stability (穩(wěn)定)，parenting practices，and the friends and networks that children experience while growing up will be much bigger factors than whether their mothers work.【語篇解讀】母親應(yīng)該在外工作，還是在家照顧孩子？研究者認(rèn)為，母親在外工作弊大于利。5The extra money brought in by both parents Aplays different roles in shaping a childs wellbeingBcan reduce the negative effect on a childCcan only have negative effect on a childs developmentDmay increase the negative effect on a child【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段中的“However，it adds that extra money brought in by both parents can lessen some negative effect.”可知，父母都工作掙錢可以減輕對孩子的一些負(fù)面影響?！敬鸢浮緽6The researchers would agree that Amothers should keep a balance between work and family lifeBthe more money mothers make，the worse their children will beCmothers should make as much money as they canDit would be better for mothers to be with their children at home【解析】推理判斷題。文章第三段中的“In short，it concludes that going back to work after the birth of a child can have a negative impact on a childs development”說明，母親去工作會對孩子的成長產(chǎn)生消極的影響，因此研究者應(yīng)該贊成母親在家照顧孩子。【答案】D7What can we learn from the last paragraph?AWhether mothers work is not worth considering.BChildren should experience different social circumstances.CParents should stop worrying about working.DThere are more important factors involved in a childs development.【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“.there are more important issues facing a childs development.Parents personalities and emotional stability(穩(wěn)定).will be much bigger factors than whether their mothers work.”可知，有很多另外的因素諸如父母的性格、情緒的穩(wěn)定性等影響孩子的成長，母親是否工作并不是最重要的因素。【答案】DCFinding a job is difficult.But what might be even more untoward is figuring out how to get used to the new environment that you are working in when you do finally manage to get a new job.Here are some tips for dealing with the adjustment period.Be friendly to people.Any job is better when you are friends of the people that you are working with.You should be friendly to everyone that you are meeting.Actually listen to what these people tell you.Most people like making friends with those who are willing to listen.Stay positive.One of the things that makes it difficult to adjust to a new job is negativity.If you automatically (無意識地) make judgments about things at the office that you arent going to like，then youre going to find it difficult to approach the job with a positive attitude.Try to focus on the things that you like about the work and stay away from anyone that is saying negative things on the job.Keep relaxed.Accept the fact that you probably arent going to get used to the new job immediately.You are going to make some mistakes.You are going to get confused or youre going to confuse others by doing things differently than what theyre used to.Be relaxed.The thing that you really need to get used to a new job，is just time.Getting used to a new job or a new work environment isnt easy，but it doesnt have to be particularly difficult either.Get to know the people that you are working with and the unspoken rules of the place by paying attention to what is going on around you and accepting that its going to take some time to get used to it all！After you have adjusted to your new job，the way to do the job well is coming to the first question.【語篇解讀】找工作難，適應(yīng)新的工作環(huán)境更難。本文為我們提出了一些適應(yīng)新工作的技巧。8The underlined word “untoward” in Para.1 probably means AdifficultBimpressiveCimportantDshocking【解析】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞上文的“Finding a job is difficult.”以及畫線詞前的“even more”可推斷，畫線詞所在句的句意為“獲得新工作之后，如何適應(yīng)新的工作環(huán)境更難?！奔串嬀€詞含義是“困難的”?！敬鸢浮緼9What can be inferred from the passage?AIts hard to stay positive in a new environment.BListening to others can help you get used to the new environment.CIts improper to make friends with the people that you are working with.DYour judgments about things at the office always make you feel negative.【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段可知，交朋友能幫助人們適應(yīng)新的環(huán)境，人們喜歡和善于傾聽別人的人交朋友。由此推斷，傾聽別人有助于適應(yīng)新的環(huán)境。【答案】B10If the passage continues，what may be talked about?AHow to keep relaxed.BHow to do your job well.CHow to make fewer mistakes in your job.DThe importance of adjusting to your new job.【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“After you have adjusted to your new job，the way to do the job well is coming to the first question.”可知，適應(yīng)了新工作之后，如何做好這份工作就成為隨之而來的首要問題。由此推斷，文章接下來會闡述如何做好你的工作?！敬鸢浮緽11What would be the best title for this passage?AWhat to do in an interviewBWays to find a satisfactory jobCTips for adjusting to a new jobDHow to get along well with others【解析】標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容，尤其是第一段“Here are some tips for dealing with the adjustment period.”可知，本文主要講述的是如何適應(yīng)新的工作環(huán)境?！敬鸢浮緾DTim Richter and his wife，Linda，had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo，New Yorkhe in computers，she in special education.“Teaching means everything to us，” Tim would say.In April 1998，he learned he would need a heart operation.It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about lifes purpose.Not long after the surgery，Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library，a program started by Dolly Partonss foundation (基金會) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singers hometown of Sevier，Tennessee.“I thought，maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire，” Tim recalls.He placed the brochure on his desk，“as a reminder”Five years later，now retired and with that brochure still on the desk，Tim clicked on .The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters.Rather than sign up online，they went to Dollywood for a looksee.“We didnt want to give the children rubbish，”says Linda.The books reviewed each year by teachers，literacy specialists，and Dollywood board membersincluded classics such as Ezra Jack Keatss The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdneys Llama Llama series.Satisfied，the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work.Since 2004，they have shipped more than 12，200 books to preschoolers in their area.Megan Williams，a mother of four，is more than appreciative：“This program introduces us to books Ive never heard of.”The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children.“Some people sit there and wait to die，”says Tim.“Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”【語篇解讀】本文首先講述了Tim Richter和Linda Richter夫婦是兩位教師，在Tim經(jīng)歷了一次生死攸關(guān)的心臟手術(shù)后，他們決定在他們退休后加入Imagination Library，計劃去幫助孩子們。接著介紹了他們在退休后是如何做的。這讓我們大家認(rèn)識到與其消極地等待死亡還不如做點有意義的事情，讓自己活得更充實一些。12What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?AHis health problem.BHis love for teaching.CThe influence of his wife.DThe news from the Web.【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段的最后兩句話“In April 1998，he learned he would need a heart operation.It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about lifes purpose.”可知選A。【答案】A13What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?AGive out brochures.BDo something similar.CWrite books for children.DRetire from being a teacher.【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段中的“I thought，maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire，Tim recalls”可知選B?！敬鸢浮緽14Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?ATo avoid signing up online.BTo meet Dollywood board members.CTo make sure the books were the newest.DTo see if the books were of good quality.【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段中的“The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters.”及“We didnt want to give the children rubbish.”可知D項正確?！敬鸢浮緿15What can we learn from Tims words in the last paragraph?AHe needs more money to help the children.BHe wonders why some people are so busy.CFie tries to save those waiting to die.DHe considers his efforts worthwhile.【解析】推理判斷題。通過Tim的話可知Tim感到自己不是在那兒浪費自己退休后的有限的生命，而是選擇了有意義的工作，并且這份工作是值得為之付出的。故選D?！敬鸢浮緿.閱讀填句(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分) 【導(dǎo)學(xué)號：78880051】My mother is a diligent and kind woman.She is very busy from
