Unit 1 Looking forwards单元综合检测(一)(时间：100分钟满分：120分).阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)ALife In The FutureWhat life will be like in the future is difficult to predict.It is，however，possible to use models to make forecasts about future developments.One way to catch a glimpse of the future is to examine some of the major trends in contemporary society.TransportationCurrent trends(趋势)indicate that transportation is becoming cleaner，faster and safer.Public transportation is already well developed in most urban areas of China.New technology is being used to make sure that the cars，taxis，buses and trains we use do not pollute the air.A good example of how transportation is changing is the new maglev train，which is environmentally friendly，energy­saving and travels at an amazing speed 430 km/h.To ensure safety，the train is controlled by an advanced computer system.Scientists are also developing new fuels and engines that will let us travel without worrying about whether we are polluting the environment.BusinessIt will not be business as usual in the future.Many companies and consumers have already begun reforming the way they do business.E­commerce，or business done on the Internet is becoming more and more popular as people discover the advantages of online shopping.The Internet also makes it easier for companies to keep in touch with customers and companies in other countries.For people who do go out for shopping，shopping is no longer just a necessity.It has become a form of entertainment.Instead of searching a crowded store for basic goods，such as food and clothes，people want to go to a pleasant mall and combine shopping with fun.【语篇解读】未来生活是什么样子是很难预测的，但我们可以根据研究当代社会的一些主要趋势来预测未来的发展。1Which of the following is not the feature of future transportation?AIt will be greener.BIt will be safer.CIt will be faster.DIt will be cheaper.D细节理解题。根据Transportation中的“Current trends(趋势)indicate that transportation is becoming cleaner，faster and safer.”可知，A、B、C三项是未来交通的特点，D项不是，故选D项。2What's the definition of E­commerce?AIt is business done on the Internet.BIt is business related to electricity.CIt is business related to electronics.DIt is business done by electricians.A细节理解题。根据Business中的“E­commerce，or business done on the Internet.”可知,business done on the Internet是对E­commerce的解释或补充说明。故选A项。3What will the future mall be like?AIn the mall people can not only shop but also have fun.BThe future mall will be as large as a small city.CPeople can do anything in the future mall.DThe future mall will offer everything people need.A细节理解题。根据Business中对未来的商场的描写可知，在那儿人们不仅可以购物还能享受快乐，但不是你想要的所有的东西都会在那儿得到。故选A项。BAt first sight the planet Mars does not appear very welcoming to any kind of life.It has very little oxygen and water.The temperature at night is below 50 degrees and winds of 100 miles(161 kilometers)per hour cause severe dust storms.However，the surface of the planet seems to show that water flowed across it at some time in the past，and it is believed that there would be enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melted.Although there is no life on the Mars now，some scientists think there may have been some form of life a long time ago.At that time，the planet had active volcanoes(火山)，the atmosphere was thicker and warmer，and there was water.In fact，in some ways the Mars may have been similar to the earth，where life exists.Some people believe that the Mars could support life in the future if the right conditions were produced.The first step would be to warm the planet using certain gases which trap the sun's heat in the planet's atmosphere.With warmth，water and carbon dioxide，simple plants could begin to grow.These plants could slowly make the Mars fit to live on.It is judged that the whole process might take between 100，000 and 200，000 years.In the meantime，people could begin to live on the planet in a special closed environment.They would provide a lot of useful information about conditions on the Mars and the problems connected with living there.【语篇解读】本文是科教类文章，主要分析了火星上的现状以及对过去火星历史的推测，从而预估了未来火星适合人类生存的可能性。4According to the passage，the planet Mars has no on it.AwindsBdustCmountainsDanimalsD细节理解题。在第一段中的细节中提到了winds，dust storms，volcanoes，但是没有涉及D项，根据“Although there is no life on the Mars now.”可知,火星上没有动物生存，故选D项。5It is believed that on the Mars now Athere is a large amount of ice at the polesBthere is a thicker and warmer atmosphereCthere are some kinds of simple plantsDthere are many active volcanoesA细节理解题。根据第一段中的“.and it is believed that there would be enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melted.”可知,火星的两极有大量的冰，融化后就会有水，故A项正确。6What is the topic of Paragraph 2?ACertain gases should be used to warm the Mars.BPlants should be grown to make the Mars fit to live on.CThe Mars could support life on right conditions in the future.DPeople could live on the Mars in a special closed environment.C主旨大意题。根据第二段的叙述可知,本段主要讲未来在火星上如何创造适合人类生存的条件，也就是说第一句话为本段的主题句，故C项正确。7The most suitable title for the passage is “ ”ANo Life on the MarsBStudy of the MarsCThe Possibility of Life on the MarsDFuture Conditions on the MarsC标题归纳题。本文主要分析了火星上的现状以及对过去火星历史的推测，从而预估了未来火星适合人类生存的可能性，故C项作为题目合适。CAccording to a new US study，couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall.The research by Angelina Grigoryeva，from Princeton University，found that，while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage，men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.Her analysis of the family networks of 26，000 older Americans concluded that gender(性别)is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco，she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care.Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study，a study which has been tracking a cross­section of over­50s for the last decade，she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.“Sons reduce their relative care­giving efforts when they have a sister，while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”“This suggests that sons pass on parent care­giving responsibilities to their sisters.”In the UK，the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities，a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.But many are doing so at the risk of their health.The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a full­time job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts who are not carers.【语篇解读】研究表明在照顾年迈的父母方面，性别差异影响着照顾父母的时间长短。女儿比儿子更愿意付出时间照顾父母。家中有姐妹的男士常把照顾父母的责任推给姐妹。8According to the passage，what's the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly?AEducation.BGender.CCareer.DIncome.B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“concluded that gender(性别)is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.”可知，预测人们是否会主动照顾老年人的最主要因素之一是性别。9The US study finds that Ahaving a sister makes men less likely to look after their parentsBsons are twice as likely as daughters to care for parents in old ageCsons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parentsDsons are unwilling to leave care­giving responsibilities to their sistersA细节理解题。根据第四段“In a paper.in San Francisco，she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care.”可知， Angelina Grigoryeva得出结论，家中有姐妹的男士对父母的照顾可能会更少，与A项内容一致。10What does the author stress in the last paragraph?APeople should give up their jobs to care for the elderly.BMany care providers work longer hours than others.CMany care providers have potential health problems.DPeople shouldn't pass on caring responsibilities to others.C推理判断题。根据最后一段的主题句“But many are doing so at the risk of their health.”及下文可知，在最后一段作者着重指出很多护理提供者都有潜在的健康问题。11The author develops the text by Aexplaining social networks of careersBdescribing people's experiencesCcomparing different gender behaviorsDanalyzing various research and dataD写作手法题。通读全文可知，作者在第三、五、八段给出了研究的数据，接着在相应数据段落的下一段分析得出结论。由此可推知，这篇文章是以分析各种研究和数据得出相关结论的写作手法展开的。DLife in 2060Let us suppose it is now about AD 2060.Let's make believe it is about a few dozen years from now.Of course，things have changed and life is very different.Voyages to the moon are being made every day.It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe.At a number of scenic spots on the moon，many hotels have been built.The hotels are air­conditioned，naturally.In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon，every room has at least one picture window.Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment(娱乐)of young and old.What are people eating now？People are still eating food.They haven't yet started to use supplies of energy directly as electrical currents or as nuclear power.They may some day.But many foods now come in pill form，and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago，most of our planet's surface has to be filled.The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests.The harvest is always good.Farming，of course，is very highly developed.Very few people have to work on the farm.It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.People are now largely vegetarians(素食者)You see，as the number of people increases，the number of animals decreases.Therefore，the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds，and we know the causes and cures of disease and pain，and it is possible to get rid of diseases.No one has to be ill any more.Such would be our life in 2060.【语篇解读】作者通过对2060年人类生活的描述，为读者勾勒出一幅美好的生活图画：月球上度假生活，用水浇灌沙漠，没有虫害的庄稼，健康的绿色食品等等。12According to the passage，what will be on the moon in about AD 2060?AMany tourists.BMany other animals.CMany plants.DA sea.A细节理解题。根据第二段内容，2060年以后，人们每天都可以到月球旅游，月球上就有许多游客。故选A项。13What will people eat then according to the passage?ABiscuits in pill form.BFoods in pill form.CFoods in water form.DFoods in gas form.B细节理解题。由第三段最后一句“But many foods now come in pill form，and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.”可得出答案。14The passage tells us that in 2060， on the earth than now.Athere are fewer populationBthere are more pestsCthere is less waterDthe crops are getting betterD推理判断题。由第四段可知，到2060年，人口将更多，沙漠用水浇灌，庄稼不再被害虫毁坏，收成总是很好。15Why are people largely vegetarians in 2060?ABecause they don't eat meat.BBecause doctors advise them not to eat meat.CBecause the number of animals decreases.DBecause all the animals have died of diseases.C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的第二、三句话可知答案。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house.The person who bought the house or moved is the one who throws the party.The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home. 16 And it is a good time to fill the new space with love and hopefully presents. 17 Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home at a local store or stores.Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and things like curtains.Even if there isn't a registry，a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with，like a piece of art or a plant. 18 This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn't a lot of food served.There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party.The host or hostess of the party will，however，probably give all the guests a tour of their new home.Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home，people may be asked to help unpack boxes. 19 Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift. 20 Now most homes have central heating and don't use fires to keep warm.AThis isn't usual though.BIt is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party.CYou can also bring food or drinks to share with the other guests.DIf you're lucky enough to receive gifts，keep them in a safe place.EIt also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like.FThe best housewarming parties encourage old friends to get together.GThis was so that the person could keep their home warm for the winter.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了乔迁聚会的定义、习俗以及来源。16E本空是过渡句。结合空前一句“The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home.”和空后一句“And it is a good time to fill the new space with love and hopefully presents.”可知，空处讲的应是乔迁聚会给人们带来的好处，因此E项符合语境。17B本空是段落主题句。结合本段中的“a good housewarming gift.or a plant.”可知，本段主要讲的是带礼物参加乔迁聚会是一个传统，B项符合语境。18C本空是过渡句。根据空后一句“This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn't a lot of food served.”可知，空处讲你也可以带食物或饮料与其他客人分享，故C项符合语境。19A本空是段尾句。根据空前一句可知，在乔迁聚会上让人们帮忙打开箱子不常见，所以A项符合语境。20G本空是过渡句。结合上文中的“bring firewood to a new home as a gift” 和空后一句“Now most homes have central heating and don't use fires to keep warm.”可知，空处应与取暖相关，故G项符合语境。.完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)What kinds of homes will we live in the future? 21 can be sure，but scientists are working out new ideas now.Some scientists are 22 about
