Unit 11 The Media單元綜合檢測 (時(shí)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)AWhen we decide to teach children at home by ourselves，we use every resource (資源) to aid us in filling our childrens minds with valuable information.At times，television can even be not only a resource for us，but an important resource.The main focus (焦點(diǎn)) should not be whether kids，homeschooled or not，should watch TV.The real focus needs to be：What is the best choice for my child in this period of life and learning？For some people，this will mean replacing the entertainment center with exercise equipment；for others it will be to allow a few hours of carefully chosen programming each day or week.Television has some very valuable programming that can add richness to your daily homeschool lessons.My own children are learning about Native Americans at present and we found a program called Into the West.The program did a beautiful job presenting the Westward Movement from two different sides：the Native Americans and the White Settlers.My children were shocked by the contrast (對比) between the two，and for our family this program was a central part of this unit study.What works for my family may not work for yours.Quite honestly，thats OK because what works for your family may not work for mine.As parents，we need to be purposeful about our childrens activities：including television.No one can tell you whether you should buy a bigscreen TV or to throw away what you have.The goal is to decide which types of resources benefit your childrens education，entertainment，and quality of life.No one can decide this for you.Once you make a decision，you will stop paring your family with another homeschool family.【語篇解讀】本文主要是針對那些決定在家教孩子的父母提出的一些看法。告訴他們利用一切資源給孩子提供有價(jià)值的信息。而電視甚至是一種重要的資源。因?yàn)橛幸恍┯袃r(jià)值的節(jié)目可豐富你的日常家庭教育，但一定要選擇適合你的東西。1According to the author，what matters most in the discussion about television?AWhether kids should watch TV or not.BHow much TV should homeschool kids watch.CWhat is the best way for kids to grow and learn.DHow to choose programs both kids and parents enjoy.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。通讀全文可知，本文主要敘述了在家教孩子時(shí)，電視是一種重要的資源，因?yàn)橛幸恍┯袃r(jià)值的節(jié)目可豐富你的家庭教育，但是要選一種適合你的方式。尤其在倒數(shù)第二段的“The goal is to decide which types of resources benefit your childrens education，entertainment, and quality of life.”目標(biāo)是決定哪些類型的資源有利于孩子的教育、娛樂和生活質(zhì)量。沒人能幫你決定。分析選項(xiàng)可知C項(xiàng)(孩子成長和學(xué)習(xí)的最好方法是什么？)與此相符合，故選C項(xiàng)。2The author shows some television programming can be useful by Amaking a contrastBgiving an exampleCexplaining reasons and resultsDdescribing the progress his children have madeB推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章可知，第三段提出了電視中有許多有用的節(jié)目，在第四段進(jìn)行了舉例。由此可推斷出 B項(xiàng)是正確的。3The text is written for Ahomeschool parentsBtelevision producersCteachersDstudentsA推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的第一段“When we decide to teach children at home by ourselves, we use every resource (資源) to aid us in filling our childrens minds with valuable information.”進(jìn)行推斷可知選A。 BAmericans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio.These public media receive money to operate from private citizens, organizations and government.Many of their programs are educational.But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit.These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years.Newspapers, magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity.At the same time, online, cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength.So have media that serve racial groups and those municating in foreign languages.In general, more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment.At the same time, fewer owners control them.Huge panies have many holdings(股份)In some areas, one pany controls much of the media.One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television.It es into most homes over wires.It does not use the public airwaves to present programs, as broadcast television does.Like broadcast television, most cable television programs perform advertisements.This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes.Thirty years ago, few people had cable.Today, about sixtyeight percent of American homes have cable television.Television by satellite also is gaining popularity.Over the years, traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible.Many cable panies, however, present programs for one special group of viewers.For example, there are cable stations for people who like books, cooking, travel, golf or edy.【語篇解讀】近些年私營傳媒發(fā)生了很大改變，報(bào)紙、雜志和傳統(tǒng)廣播電視受歡迎程度逐漸下滑，而網(wǎng)絡(luò)、有線電視和衛(wèi)星電視的受眾逐漸增加。4Which of the following is TRUE about American public media?AThey depend on the government.BThey are controlled by the government.CThey are free.DThey can earn money.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段“But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit.”可知大部分美國傳媒是為了營利，故選D。5Which of the following properly shows the change in these privately owned media?ANewspapers are getting more popular.BSatellite media is getting more popular.CTraditional media also serve racial groups.DSome media make their programs in foreignlanguages.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段“These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years.以及后文online, cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength”可知衛(wèi)星電視越來越受歡迎，故選B。6From the second paragraph, we learn that Abroadcast TV and cable TV programs include sales messagesBmore media are out of controlCAmerican media is dramaticDcable TV is freeA推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段“Like broadcast television，most cable television programs perform advertisements.”可知廣播電視和有線電視都有廣告，故選A。7What would be the best title for the text?AAmerican news and entertainment.BPublic television and radio media.CMedia in the United States.DCable programs in the United States.C主旨大意題。由全文可知，作者介紹了美國傳媒發(fā)生的變化，全文都在說明美國傳媒的事情，故選C。CWiFi free of charge has bee very important to us：many stores and shopping malls offer it，restaurants use it to attract customers，and for libraries and coffee shops it is a musthave service.Even when people are traveling，they scan for free WiFi.When selecting or rating a hotel，six in ten travelers believe that unlimited WiFi is the most important factor.“Today，people will never forget to pack their smart phones，tablets and laptops into the suitcase，”said the Daily Mail.“We rely on free WiFi heavily when travelingespecially when it es to checking social media，checking out travel tips，and accessing websites.”However，despite the opportunities that free WiFi gives us，“our overreliance on technology has e at a price，with travelers feeling unable to escape social media”，said Lonely Planet，the worlds largest travel guide brand.Anita Isalska，Lonely Planet editor and tech addict，was forced to unplug when in an isolated (隔絕的) camp in Greenland recently.“Adjusting to this slower pace，I began to realize that：social media had changed into a habit，”she wrote.“I had believed I was capturing (捕捉) moments，but in reality my busy fingers were preventing me enjoying travels deepest pleasures.How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or wild flowers when your brain is selecting the right photo filter (濾鏡) or the perfect six seconds to take photos？”In September，Lonely Planet released 10 predictions for the future of global travel.One of them was that true escapes will be highly valued in future，so remote hotels will start to make their lack of the Internet into an appealing feature.Would you like to have an unplugged holiday?【語篇解讀】免費(fèi)的無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)正成為人們生活中不可分割的一部分，過分的依賴讓人們的旅行很難擺脫社交媒體。8According to the passage, people nowadays tend to do the following EXCEPT Aenjoying traveling better without carrying any HiTech equipmentBthinking ill of a hotel without WiFiCgetting out of a library that has no access to the InternetDmaking travel plans via the InternetA推理判斷題。根據(jù)前三段可知人們會以有沒有無線網(wǎng)作為評價(jià)賓館、圖書館的首要條件，據(jù)此可以排除BCD項(xiàng)。9Through the fourth paragraph，the author intends to Aget into another topicBgive more evidence to the view mentionedCshow a different opinion on the topicDsummarize the previous paragraphsC目的意圖題。根據(jù)第四段However，despite the opportunities that free WiFi gives us，可知作者要表達(dá)針對這個(gè)話題的不同觀點(diǎn)。10What has Anita Isalska realized in Greenland?ATravelers cannot survive without HiTech.BHer overreliance on technology has e at a price.CTaking pictures doesnt affect appreciating nature.DHer fingers are not flexible enough to take enough pictures.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段可知Anita Isalska時(shí)時(shí)刻刻都無法擺脫對科技的依賴，這樣讓她的旅行無法達(dá)到放松自己的目的即她對科技的過度依賴讓她付出代價(jià)。11What does “an unplugged holiday” mean in the last paragraph?AA camping holiday.BA holiday without taking pictures.CA holiday in a remote hotel.DA holiday without WiFi.D詞義猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段remote hotels will start to make their lack of the Internet into an appealing feature.可知偏遠(yuǎn)的賓館將使沒有無線網(wǎng)成為他們最吸引游客的特色。DMoney spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I know of.It serves directly to bring about a rapid sale of goods at reasonable prices，so setting up a firm home market and so making it possible to provide for export at good prices.By drawing attention to new ideas it helps greatly to raise standards of living.By helping to increase demand it causes an increased need for labor，and is therefore a nice way to fight unemployment.It lowers the costs of many services：without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much，the price of your television program would need to be doubled，and travel by bus or subway would cost more.And perhaps most important of all，advertising provides a promise of reasonable value in the products and services you buy.Besides the fact that twentyseven Acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising，no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements.He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising.He will not do so for long，for the public has the good sense not to buy the poor article more than once.If you see an article frequently advertised，it is the proof I know that the article does what is promised for it，and that it has good value.Advertising does more for the good of the public than any other force I can think of. There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on.Recently I heard a wellknown television person declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs.He was telling us the real difference.Of course advertising tries to persuade.If its message were nothing but information，that would be difficult to get more people to buy，for even a detail such as the choice of the color of a shirt is a bit persuasiveadvertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention.But perhaps that is what the wellknown television person wants.【語篇解讀】本文主要論述了對廣告的看法。12By the first sentence of the passage the author means that Ahe is fairly familiar with the cost of advertisingBeverybody knows well that advertising is money consumingCadvertising cost money like everything elseDit is worthwhile to spend money on advertisingD推理判斷題。第一句句意：錢用于做廣告是值得的，如同我所知道的任何好的事情一樣。13In the passage，which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of advertising?AScoring greater fame.BProviding more jobs.CRaising living standards.DReducing newspaper cost.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第一段的第三句開始，作者列舉了廣告的好處，“.raise standards of living”與C相符；“.it causes an increased need for labor.”與B相符；“.without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much”與D相符。只有A在文中未被提到。14The author means that the wellknown TV personality is Avery precise in passing his judgement on advertisingBinterested in nothing but the buyers attentionCcorrect in telling the difference between persuasion and informationDobviously partial in his views on advertisingD推理判斷題。見文章第四段：一位電視界名人說他反對廣告，原因是廣告在于勸說而不是傳遞信息，而作者對此看法不同。作者認(rèn)為：廣告當(dāng)然在于等勸說，在接下來的一段中，又說如果廣告只是把自己限制在信息方面，那么它就很難，甚至不可能達(dá)到目的，由此可知作者認(rèn)為那位電視名人關(guān)于廣告的看法是片面的。15What attitude does the author hold for advertising?ANegative.BPositive.CRidiculous.DNot stated.B推理判斷題。在文章的開頭句及第三段等作者都充分肯定了廣告的作用，所以他的態(tài)度是肯定的。.閱讀七選五(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)While some lucky people are born with the gift of
