Unit1阅读理解题组——练速度Ⅰ.阅读理解AThere is no better way to enjoy the best of nature than a great garden holiday.Here are the top garden holidays to have your eye on for 2022.VisitKent’sromanticgardensKnown as the Garden of England,Kent is a place you must visit at least once in your life.Here,you will find different gardens,each of which has its own character.You can explore the best of Kent’s gardens with the garden designer Sarah Raven.Sarah will invite you to her own garden Perch Hill,where there will be afternoon tea and flower arrangement.You will also enjoy an exclusive after-hours dinner.TakeintheexoticbeautyoftheIslesofScillyIf there is one place in the UK that will make you feel that you are somewhere more tropical,it’s the Isles of Scilly,where you will find white sand beaches,milder temperatures and the exotic Tresco Abbey Garden.It’s a botanical paradise home to 20,000 plant species.SoakuptheserenityofMonet’sgardensIf you love getting around by train,a visit to France is a must-do and you will want to discover painter Monet’s house and gardens in Giverny.The picturesque spot is home to water lily ponds,the world-famous Japanese bridge and displays of vibrant flowers.It’s a wonderful place for a garden holiday in France.BeimpressedbythegardensofSussex’sstatelyhomesFor a charming garden holiday in the south of England,where you can spot wildlife and ride an iconic steam train,look no further than Sussex and its wonders.Arundel Castle,Sheffield Park and Garden,and Parham House and Gardens are just a few of the sites gardeners won’t want to miss.You can visit them all,enjoy a ride on the historic Bluebell Railway and explore Chichester Harbour.1.What can you do at Kent?A.Arrange flowers.  B.Make dinner by yourself.C.Ride a steam train. D.Play on a bridge.2.Which is the best place to enjoy the tropical scenes?A.Kent.  B.The Isles of Scilly.C.Monet’s gardens. D.Sussex.3.What is unique about Sussex?A.There are wild animals.B.It provides free rides.C.It’s home to the water lily.D.It’s surrounded by beaches.BFor most of us,the world’s southern-most point seems like a pretty place,but for Hannah,Hannalore,Sophie and Julia,it’s home.Each year they spend five months living and working in Port Lockroy welcoming visiting ships and,best of all,watching over the native colony of penguins.They live on a tiny island the size of a football pitch,but share it with about 2,000 gentoo penguins and their chicks,as well as other birds.Life here is different every day and depends on weather and ice conditions,as well as the visiting ships’ schedules.Port Lockroy is one of the most visited places in Antarctica,with one to three ships visiting a day.Between ship visits they have other duties to attend to.These include maintenance jobs,sending postcards from the post office,checking conditions on the historical items in the museum and monitoring the penguin colonies and other wildlife.Hannah spends much time stamping people’s postcard,which makes her happy to think of the joy over 70,000 people per year get when they receive a postcard from Antarctica,and the most southerly post office in the world!For Sophie,the most amazing thing is being able to live and work with feathery friends,the penguins.Sophie says they have to make sure the penguins are not disturbed when they are resting or waddling their way back to their nests.They mark specific routes for visitors to walk on so that they don’t use the penguins’ highways.Part of their job is also to count the penguin colony when after they’ve laid their eggs,then again when the chicks are born and when the chicks are old enough to venture beyond the nest.The information collected will help scientists know if the breeding season has been a successful one or not.4.What can we learn from the passage?A.How to live and work in Antarctica.B.What the real life is like in Antarctica.C.What the four women do in Antarctica.D.How to explore the beauty of Antarctica.5.What do the duties of the four women include?A.Posting wildlife to people around the world.B.Changing the weather to preserve historical items.C.Recording the data of the ice conditions in Port Lockroy.D.Collecting information about the breeding season of penguins.6.What do we know about Port Lockroy?A.Postcards from Port Lockroy are free of charge.B.Port Lockroy welcomes the most tourists in Antarctica.C.Weather is a factor to consider if people are to visit Port Lockroy.D.When visiting Port Lockroy,tourists can travel wherever as they like.7.In which column of the newspaper are you most likely to read the passage?A.Book review. B.People in the news.C.Economics and business. D.Sports and events.CAs an astronomer,I am accustomed to observing the universe in quiet places.I observe galaxies in the deep universe—places so far away that their light takes billions of years to reach our eyes.Sometimes I wonder what our own galaxy looked like billions of years ago,before our solar system was born.I often stare at the Hubble Deep Field(哈勃深空区) searching for clues:galaxies colliding,stars exploding,and stellar nurseries.Can looking to the stars bring us closer together?A couple of months ago,Betelgeuse,a bright star in the Orion constellation(猎户座),started to get dimmer and dimmer.Astronomers all over the world thought this might be a signal that the star was about to explode.Though it might not happen for another 1,000 years or more,still I went outside every night to check it out.I was hoping that it would explode.Imagine seeing a star shining as bright as the full moon even during the day.I started dreaming about using such an event to remind everyone that stars produce nearly all of the chemical elements in the universe,which came directly out of the Big Bang.Everything we breathe,touch and see was made inside of stars.The iron in our blood,calcium in our bones,and almost the entire periodic table are products of stellar evolution. Betelgeuse did not explode,and more recent observations note that it is actually returning to normal.But nothing is normal here on Earth now.I am beginning to realize that we did not need a star to explode to unite us.All we needed was a common problem.I am hoping that everyone on the planet is saving some time to contemplate the universe and to realize we are not alone.No matter where we are or who we are,we are on this planet together.Since we are all made of stars,looking up at the night sky gives us a glimpse of our past and our future,and we can contemplate both together.8.Why does the author write this article?A.To advise others to stare at a potentially exploding star recently.B.To research into the scientific mystery in the universe with readers.C.To discuss the proper relationship between humans and the universe.D.To suggest thinking about the way human beings live in this world.9.According to the article,Betelgeuse 　　　. A.is a star the author tracked for yearsB.will produce chemical elements if it explodesC.is a normal star which is disappearingD.will explode in ten thousand years10.What does the underlined phrase“such an event” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Betelgeuse’s potential explosion.B.Betelgeuse’s getting dimmer and dimmer.C.The author’s checking out every night.D.A star’s shining as bright as the sun.11.What’s the best title of this passage?A.What should an astronomer do?B.Should we know more about the universe?C.Looking to the stars can bring us closer togetherD.Getting united is a problem impossible to solveDWhen the Chinese spacecraft Chang’e-5 returned to Earth on December 17,2020,it brought back something not seen on our planet since the 1970s:moon rock samples.This precious cargo,collected by Chang’e-5’s robotic research vehicle in the northwest region of the lunar near side,is now being studied by scientists in Beijing.The success of the latest Chinese space mission also showcased technology that may be used in future years to create human settlements on Earth’s near neighbor.The returned lunar samples will “absolutely add new knowledge of the history of the moon,particularly its volcanoes,” says Xiao Long,a planetary scientist at China University of Geosciences.The rocks sent back by Chang’e-5 “will ask us to rethink about why and how the moon’s volcanic history lasted this long,” he says.The Chang’e-5 mission was more than just a trip to collect moon rocks.It was also the latest stage of a long,planned sequence of robotic lunar explorations by China that have grown ever more scientifically advanced.The program began with the 2007 launch of Chang’e-1 and Chang’e-2 three years later.These crafts circled the moon collecting data used to help guide Chang’e-3 and Chang’e-4,and to direct their robotic vehicles.The robot on Chang’e-5 was able to collect rock and soil samples and return them to Earth.In the near future,an identical spacecraft called Chang’e-6 will attempt a sample-return mission from the moon’s south pole—an area of intense scientific interest—given the large amount of water ice present.The more advanced Chang’e-7 and Chang’e-8 spacecraft are also planned to land near the south pole to carry out analysis of the region and test new technologies,including detecting and obtaining materials that could be useful to future human explorers,such as water and hydrogen,and testing 3D printing on the lunar surface.The long-term aim of the Chang’e program is to establish an International Lunar Research Station around 2030 to support robotic and,eventually,crewed missions.12.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The moon’s recent volcanic activities.B.The significance of the moon rock samples.C.New knowledge of the history of the moon.D.Further studies of the returned lunar samples.13.What distinguishes the mission of Chang’e-6 from that of Chang’e-5?A.The technology they use.B.The time they spend on the moon.C.The specific locations they explore.D.The amount of material they bring back.14.What are Chang’e-7 and Chang’e-8 space missions mainly intended to do?A.Transport researchers to the moon station.B.Build up an International Lunar Research Station.C.Collect data necessary to guide moon-landing spacecraft.D.Find and test resources and means to support living on the moon.15.Which of the following best summarizes the Chang’e space program?A.A project to study the surface of the moon.B.A plan to improve human settlements on the moon.C.A set of experiments to test the possibility of manned spacecraft.D.A series of increasingly challenging scientific lunar explorations.Ⅱ.阅读七选五HowtoenjoymusicBylisteningPeople can enjoy music by listening to it.They can go to concerts to hear musicians perform.　1　 However,sometimes huge festivals are organized in which it is performed outside,in a field or stadium,like pop festivals.People can listen to music on CDs,computers,iPods,television and even mobile phones. There is so much music today,in elevators,shopping malls,and stores,that it often becomes a background sound.Sometimes it is pleasant to listen more closely to music.　2　 Byplayingorsinging　3　 Probably the most common for complete beginners is the piano or keyboard,the guitar,or the recorder.After they have learnt to play scales and play simple tunes,then they can think about which instrument for further development.　4　 For example,a very short child cannot play a full-size double bass,because the double bass is over five feet high.Finally,it helps to have a good teacher. BycomposingAnyone can make up his or her own pieces of music.It is not difficult to compose simple songs or melodies.It’s easier for people who can play an instrument themselves.All it takes is experimenting with the sounds that an instrument makes.Someone can make up a piece that tells a story,or just find a nice tune and think about ways it can be changed each time it is repeated.　5　 A.Music can be written in several ways.B.People can learn to play an instrument.C.The instrument might be someone’s own voice.D.Classical music is usually performed in concert halls.E.As we know,some kinds of music make people excited.F.They should choose an instrument that is practical for their size.G.We are trying to hear the different instruments and what types of notes the instruments are playing. 答案：Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是应用文。文章介绍了四个别具特色、值得参观的地方。1.A　解析细节理解题。根据VisitKent’sromanticgardens部分的“SarahwillinviteyoutoherowngardenPerchHill,wheretherewillbeafternoonteaandflowerarrangement.”可知,在肯特,你可以插花。2.B　解析细节理解题。根据TakeintheexoticbeautyoftheIslesofScilly部分的“IfthereisoneplaceintheUKthatwillmakeyoufeelthatyouaresomewheremoretropical,it’stheIslesofScilly”可知,在锡利群岛可以欣赏热带风光。3.A　解析细节理解题。根据BeimpressedbythegardensofSussex’sstatelyhomes部分的“...whereyoucanspotwildlifeandrideaniconicsteamtrain,looknofurtherthanSussexanditswonders.”可知,此处的特别之处在于能见到野生动物。【语篇导读】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了Hannah,Hannalore,Sophie和Julia在南极洲洛克罗伊港迎接来访的船只,照看本地企鹅的故事。4.C　解析推理判断题。根据第一段的“EachyeartheyspendfivemonthslivingandworkinginPortLockroywelcomingvisitingshipsand,bestofall,watchingoverthenativecolonyofpenguins.”和下文对这四位女性在南极洲工作的介绍可知,这篇文章告诉我们这四位女性在南极洲做什么工作。5.D　解析细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Partoftheirjobisalsotocountthepenguincolonywhenafterthey’velaidtheireggs,thenagainwhenthechicksarebornandwhenthechicksareoldenoughtoventurebeyondthenest.”可知,她们的职责包括收集企鹅繁殖季节的信息。6.C　解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Lifehereisdifferenteverydayanddependsonweatherandiceconditions,aswellasthevisitingships’schedules.”可知,如果人们要去洛克罗伊港,天气是一个需要考虑的因素。7.B　解析推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章讲述了Hannah,Hannalore,Sophie和Julia在南极洲洛克罗伊港迎接来访的船只,照看本地企鹅的故事,可在报纸的“新闻人物”专栏里读到这篇文章。【长难句分析】The
