1UnitUnit 1111 TheThe MediaMedia 单元综合检测单元综合检测(时间：100 分钟；满分：120 分).阅读理解(共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分)A AWhen we decide to teach children at home by ourselves，we use every resource (资源) to aid us in filling our children's minds with valuable information.At times，television can even be not only a resource for us，but an important resource.The main focus (焦点) 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 (对比) 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，that's OK because what works for your family may not work for mine.As parents，we need to be purposeful about our children's 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 children's education，entertainment，and quality of life.No one can decide this for you.Once you make a decision，you will stop comparing your family with another homeschool family.【语篇解读】

life.”目标是决定哪些类型的资源有利于孩子的教育、娱乐和生活质量。没人能帮你决定。分析选项可知 C 项(孩子成长和学习的最好方法是什么？)与此相符合，故选 C 项。2 2The author shows some television programming can be useful by Amaking a contrastBgiving an exampleCexplaining reasons and resultsDdescribing the progress his children have madeB B 推理判断题。根据文章可知，第三段提出了电视中有许多有用的节目，在第四段进行了举例。由此可推断出 B 项是正确的。3 3The text is written for Ahomeschool parentsBtelevision

information.”进行推断可知选 A。 B 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 communicating in 3foreign languages.In general, more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment.At the same time, fewer owners control them.Huge companies have many holdings(股份)In some areas, one company controls much of the media.One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television.It comes 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 companies, however, present programs for one special group of viewers.For example, there are cable stations for people who like books, cooking, travel, golf or comedy.【语篇解读】 近些年私营传媒发生了很大改变，报纸、杂志和传统广播电视受欢迎程度逐渐下滑，而网络、有线电视和卫星电视的受众逐渐增加。4 4Which of the following is

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 comes 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 come at a price，with travelers feeling unable to escape social media” ，said Lonely Planet，the world's largest travel guide 5brand.Anita Isalska，Lonely Planet editor and tech addict，was forced to unplug when in an isolated (隔绝的) 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 travel's deepest pleasures.How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or wild flowers when your brain is selecting the right photo filter (滤镜) 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?【语篇解读】 免费的无线网络正成为人们生活中不可分割的一部分，过分的依赖让人们的旅行很难摆脱社交媒体。8 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 A 推理判断题。根据前三段可知人们会以有没有无线网作为评价宾馆、图书馆的首要条件，据此可以排除 BCD 项。9 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 C 目的意图题。根据第四段 However，despite the opportunities that free Wi­Fi gives us，可知作者要表达针对这个话题的不同观点。1010What has Anita Isalska realized in Greenland?ATravelers cannot survive without Hi­Tech.BHer over­reliance on technology has come at a price.CTaking pictures doesn't affect appreciating nature.DHer fingers are not flexible enough to take enough pictures.6B B 推理判断题。根据第五段可知 Anita Isalska 时时刻刻都无法摆脱对科技的依赖，这样让她的旅行无法达到放松自己的目的即她对科技的过度依赖让她付出代价。1111What 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 D 词义猜测题。根据最后一段 remote hotels will start to make their lack of the Internet into an appealing feature.可知偏远的宾馆将使没有无线网成为他们最吸引游客的特色。D 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 7advertising 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.【语篇解读】 本文主要论述了对广告的看法。1212By 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 D 推理判断题。第一句句意：钱用于做广告是值得的，如同我所知道的任何好的事情一样。1313In 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 A 细节理解题。从第一段的第三句开始，作者列举了广告的好处， “.raise standards of living”与 C 相符；“.it causes an increased need for labor.”与 B 相符；“.without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much”与 D 相符。只有 A 在文中未被提到。1414The author means that the well­known TV personality is Avery precise in passing his judgement on advertisingBinterested in nothing but the buyer's attentionCcorrect in telling the difference between persuasion and informationDobviously partial in his views on advertisingD D 推理判断题。见文章第四段：一位电视界名人说他反对广告，原因是广告在于劝说而不是传递信息，而作者对此看法不同。作者认为：广告当然在于等劝说，在接下来的一段中，又说如果广告只是把自己限制在信息方面，那么它就很难，甚至不可能达到目的，由此可知作者认为那位电视名人关于广告的看法是片面的。1515What attitude does the author hold for advertising?ANegative. BPositive.8CRidiculous.DNot stated.B B 推理判断题。在文章的开头句及第三段等作者都充分肯定了广告的作用，所以他的态度是肯定的。.阅读七选五(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)While some lucky people are born with the gift of artistic power，others have to study to become fluent in the language of art. 16 If the artistic path is calling you，begin the journey with tiny steps and follow it.Here are some ways to show you how to become a true artist.Try a generous choice of differing forms of art.If you have never spent much time creating art，it may feel challenging to try to become an artist. 17 They just need to express their creative ideas in a great way.If there is a specific type of art you would like to learn more about，go for it，but don't be afraid to branch out and try other forms as well.Some of the most basic forms of art include drawing，painting，sculpting，and photographing.Do your research and learn the basics. 18 Learn as much as you can about the medium­read books and articles，watch educational videos，and research various methods and other artists.One of the best ways to learn is by studying the work of others who have come before you.If you put effort，it is completely possible to teach yourself how to be a great artist.Need help？ 19 I'll work for sure.20 Many artists devote their lives to creating art.While you do not have to spend every single second of your day working on a painting，do try to dedicate some time each day (or every other day) to working on your project，whatever it might be.AMake creating art your favorite.BMake time for your art every day.CThe truth is that all people are artists.DPick up some books on your chosen form(s)EYou can always further your research with an art class.FA key part of being an artist is observing the world around you.GWhichever path you are on, be clear that everyone is an artist.【语篇解读】 本文介绍一些方法来告诉你如何成为一个真正的艺术家。16G G 根据上句：尽管有些幸运的人与生俱来有天赋的艺术力量，但是其他人在语言艺术上必须学习变得流利。可知，无论你在哪个路径，要明白每个人都是艺术家，故选9G。17C C 根据上句：如果你从未花很多时间创造艺术， 努力成为一个艺术家可能会觉得具有挑战性。再根据下句：他们只是需要一个伟大的方式来表达他们的创意。可知，事实是所有人都是艺术家，故选 C。18D D 根据下句：尽可能了解 medium­read 书籍和文章， 观看教育视频，研究各种方法和其他艺术家。可知，在你的选择形式上选择一些书，故选 D。19E E 根据上文：如果你投入精力，它完全可以自学如何成为一个伟大的艺术家。需要帮助吗？再根据下句：确信它起作用。可知，你总是可以进一步研究艺术课，故选E。20B B 根据下句：许多艺术家把自己的生活投入到创造艺术。可知每天为你的艺术腾出时间，故选 B。 .完形填空(共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分)My earliest memory of Dad was grabbing his hand while we walked together.As I grew 21 ，I remembered my father and I listened to basketball games on the radio.I always fell asleep 22 the game was over.When I woke up in the morning，the score sheet with the 23 score on it would be lying 24 me.On cold mornings my father would bring his bread truck by the house.I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck 25 he delivered the bread to the stores.The 26 and the warmth from the bread made my mouth water and kept me warm.My father would 27 all my games.One night
