北師大版（2019）必修2《Unit 6 The admirable》2021年單元測(cè)試卷（4）

第二部分　閱讀理解(共兩節(jié)，滿分30分)第一節(jié)(共4小題；每小題8分，滿分30分)閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

• 1．Learning Chinese could be one of the most important decisions you ever make.Chinese is becoming the language to learn in the 21^st century.With the world's largest population and a rapidly growing middle class，China stands to become the engine of the world's economy in the coming years.This will make learning Chinese very important for people in many industries，or for those of us who wish to visit China or learn from its culture and history.
     There is an ongoing effort to modernize the writing system and standardize the ljye.aiguage.An increasing number of people learning Chinese are learning the Mandarin，so unless you absolutely need to learn another dialect （such as Cantonese），be sure you are studying Mandarin.
     For native English speakers Chinese is one of the most difficult and most different languages to learn.The vocabulary is wholly unfamiliar and unlike anything we know.In addition，in the Chinese tone system，words are spoken in rising or falling tones，which help to distinguish between them.Furthermore，there is the Chinese writing system-a collection of thousands of individual ideograms（表意文字），or symbols，which represent a word or an idea.These ideograms have no phonetic value-that is to say，we can't tell how the word is pronounced by how it is written.There is a method to present written Chinese in a phonetic script called pinyin.If you are learning Chinese，you'll be working with this pinyin system，but the beauty of the traditional writing system shouldn't be passed up.All these factors make learning Chinese difficult for us.Yet，for a determined learner，there's always a way to overcome it.
  
  （1）Learning Chinese is becoming more and more important，because

  .
  A．Chinese engines are very welcome
  B．China has the world's largest population
  C．there are more and more rich people in China
  D．China has become important to the world economy
  （2）From the text we can learn that

  .
  A．the author thinks Chinese is as difficult as English
  B．the author is interested in the Chinese language and its culture
  C．foreign languages can play a great role in industrial development
  D．a(chǎn)s long as the pinyin system is learned well，one can learn Chinese well

  .
  A．the difficulties of learning Chinese
  B．the advantages of learning Chinese

• 2．Pet lovers were very angry.Last May，a news article online said three states had passed laws limiting the number of pets that each household could have to only two.The news spread quickly，as many people shared the article on Facebook and other social media sites.But pet owners had nothing to worry about-the article was made-up.
     Many fake （虛假的） news are harmless，but others might have played a role in real-world events.When it comes to online news，even adults can have a hard time telling fact from fiction.Education experts say kids should start learning how to tell the difference.
     Of course，there are plenty of reputable websites you can visit to read the news.Well-known news organizations，such as The New York Times and the Associated Press，have their own sites.
     But many other online "news" sources aren't always reliable.And many students have trouble finding out when articles aren't entirely true or are trying to persuade them to think in a certain way.
     Why would someone purposely publish an article that isn't true？The most common reason is to make money.Websites are paid by the companies that post ads on them.Companies want to place their ads on sites that get a lot of visitors.So people create fake news with attention-catching headlines to try to get users to click on them.
     Some of the biggest websites are trying to stop the flow of fake news.Last November，F(xiàn)acebook and Google banned fake news sites from advertising on their pages.Facebook is also working with fact-checking organizations to identify and flag fake articles.But experts say the best way to slow the spread of fake news is for people to be more skeptical（懷疑的） of what they read online.
  
  （1）What's the author's purpose of writing the first paragraph？

  
  A．To make readers focus on fake news.
  B．To introduce the topic about fake news.
  C．To state the reasons for fake news' spread.
  D．To inform readers of some media websites.
  （2）What does the underlined word "reputable" in Paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．Popular.
  B．Colorful.
  C．Official.
  D．Honest.
  （3）What's the main idea of this text？

  
  A．People create fake news to make money.
  B．The growing trend of fake news raises concerns.
  C．It's unnecessary for kids to be able to spot fake news.
  D．Most school children can easily recognize fake news.

• 3．There have certainly been records that have been hugely popular and some of those have had a message.Can there be many songs that really did change the world？Did they really change the hearts and minds of ordinary people？
     There is one，Goettingen，which did，but it's hardly known now.
     Even though France and Germany are neighbors，there was bad feeling between them 50 years ago as a result of World War Ⅱ.Into this area of hatred and anger stepped a singer with a gentle voice.
     Barbara was her stage name.She took it from her Russian grandmother.She was born in Paris in 1930.She was Jewish and so a target（目標(biāo)） for the Nazis.But，twenty years after the end of the Second World War，she travelled to the German city Goettingen.She fell in love with the city and its people and recorded the song Goettingen，first in French and then in German.
     It moved her German audience at the jye.aiatre.The song became a hit.A street was named after her.The city gave its Medal of Honor to her.The song's popularity made an important contribution to repairing France-Germany relations.
     One of the people in the audience was a student by the name of Gerhard Schroeder.He later became Chancellor of Germany.He said："I was a college student when she came to sing.It went to our hearts，the start of a wonderful friendship between our countries."
     Listening to the song today，it's easy to understand its attraction then.It is still a beautiful song of love，although it is a bit sad in parts.Barbara had much to be sad about.She was extremely frightened by the war.
     In Germany，she was loved for the love she had given to the people.In France，she was a star.Streets were named after her there，too.A stamp had her face on it.When she died in 1997，250 thousand people went to the funeral （葬禮）.
     Lionel Jospin，who served as Prime Minister of France from 1997 to 2002，once said："Barbara was a woman who knew suffering and understood the suffering of others."
  
  （1）The author raises questions in the first paragraph to

  .
  A．introduce the topic
  B．expect an answer
  C．criticize some songs
  D．support his argument
  （2）What do we know about Barbara？

  
  A．She was born in Russia.
  B．She was a popular German singer.
  C．She had suffered a lot during WWⅡ.
  D．She came to Germany soon after WW Ⅱ.
  （3）According to the text，Barbara's Goettingen

第四部分　寫(xiě)作(滿分15分)第一節(jié) 概要寫(xiě)作（15分）

• 8．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫(xiě)一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。
      The production of coffee beans is a huge，profitable business，but，unfortunately，full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage.The change in how coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun production endangers the very existence of certain animals，and even disturbs the world's ecological balance.
      On a local level，the damage to the forests required by full-sun fields affects the area's animals.The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species（物種）that depend on the trees' flowers and fruits.Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home.As a result，many species are quickly dying out.
      On a more global level，the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens（威脅）human life.Medical research often makes use of the forests' plant and animal life，and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases.In addition，new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally，and eventually the world's groundwater.
      Both locally and globally，the continued spread of full- sun coffee plantations（種植園）could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology.The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate，and studies show that the loss of oxygen- giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming.More over，the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic soil conditions.
      It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life，from the local environment to the global ecology.But consumers do have a choice.They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible，although at a higher cost.

      Ariana caught another whiff（難聞的味道）and tried to hold her breath.She moved away slightly，but Ashley only moved closer and continued talking.Ariana felt trapped.She wanted badly to tell Ashley that she didn't smell very good.But how could she do that without hurting her feelings？Instead，she gathered the remains of her lunch to throw in the trash，thankful for the excuse to get some fresh air.She looked back to see Ashley eating quietly.Ashley's hair was tangled（亂糟糟的），and her clothes were dirty.Ariana forced herself to go back to the table and take her seat，vowing（發(fā)誓）that she would not sit with Ashley tomorrow.
      When Ariana got home from school，she complained to her mother，"There's a girl named Ashley who likes to sit next to me in school，but she smells bad."
      "She's probably having a tough day，" said her mother.
      "No，it's not just one day.She smells bad a lot，" Ariana explained."Nobody else likes to sit next to her，either."
      "I don't think you understand Ashley's situation，so let me ask you this...，" Her mother's tone was serious."Who makes sure that your hair is combed every morning so you'll look nice when you go to school？"
      "You do，" answered Ariana.
      "Who makes sure you're bathed and cleaned every day？And your clothes are washed and neatly ironed？"
      "You and Daddy，" Ariana said again.
      "Do you live in a nice home？Do you have enough to eat？"
      Ariana nodded，beginning to feel guilty.She was starting to understand now.Ashley couldn't help her situation because she was only seven years old-the same age as Ariana.Grown-ups are supposed to take care of kids.
      "Why doesn't her family take better care of her？" Ariana asked.
      "Not all children live in the best situation，" her mother said."The best thing you can do for Ashley is to treat her with kindness and sympathy."
      Paragraph 1：
      Ariana bit her bottom lip.Sadness for Ashley filled her heart._________
      Paragraph 2：
      At the end of the school year，the second grade prepared to go on a field trip to the zoo._________
