新人教版選修11《Unit 4 Legends of ancient Greece》2017年單元測試卷

一．閱讀理解（滿分30分） 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)．

• 1．Tips for Cycle Trips Cycling has many advantages as a form of travel，as it is the fastest way to travel by human Power，and slow enough to allow the type of local involvement that is impossible with powered travel．Cycle travel is a cheap form of transportation．
  Distance
     On level terrain（地形），without a headwind，a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike can comfortably cover 60-120km a day．Distances of up to 250km a day are possible，but anything much beyond 120km will require considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoy the places you visit．For many，80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for，as it will give a sense of achievement and also leave plenty of time for meals and activities．
  Geography
     The gradient（坡度）of the trip will reduce your range．A basic rule is that for every 100 metres of altitude you climb，you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey time．In hilly or mountainous areas，the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers，as overall they will be downhill．A long，roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short，direct route over a hill or mountain pass．However，it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain．
  Eat
     Food choice depends largely on where you are，so see the respective sections for more information about foods．As you will be working hard，it's important to get enough energy in your food．On long trips away from major towns-there may be little quality food available，so be prepared to live on candy bars，prepared meat products and the like if the need arises．
  Sleep
     While you can take a tent with you，many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate cyclists．However，there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists．If you are exploring an unfamiliar world，asking about the accommodation spares you the search for a new place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel．
  
  （1）Which distance does the author suggest to ordinary cyclists a day？

  
  A．50km．
  B．90km．
  C．130km．
  D．250km．
  （2）Form the passage，we can learn that

  ．
  A．high quality food is easy to get on long trips
  B．hotels seldom provide accommodation for cyclists
  C．cycling over a mountain is challenging but worthy
  D．it takes cyclists 15 minutes to climb 100 m of altitude
  （3）We can probably read this passage in

  ．
  A．a(chǎn) geography book
  B．a(chǎn) research report
  C．a(chǎn) science fiction
  D．a(chǎn) travel magazine

• 2．The World Health Organization warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution．The WHO finds that poor cooking，heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year．
     Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cookstoves in the home．To help fight the problem，the WHO announced new guidelines aimed at reducing household pollutants．
     WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cookingheating and lighting．And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year．Of that number，the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple coal cookstoves．Most of the deaths are in developing countries．
     Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO's Department of Public Health，Environmental and Social Determinants of Health．He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene fuel indoors．He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not improve the situation．It will only pollute the outdoors．
     WHO officials say indoor pollution leads to early deaths from stroke，heart and lung disease，childhood pneumonia（肺炎）and lung cancer．Women and girls are the main victims．The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of households in subSaharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking．It says huge populations in India，China and Latin American countries，such as Guatemala and Peru，are also at risk．Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool．He says researchers are developing good cookstoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way．
     WHO experts note some new，safe and lowcost technologies that could help are already available．In India，you can buy an induction（電或磁） stove for about ＄8.00．And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than ＄1.00．

  ．
  A．most children are suffering a lot from lung cancer
  B．solid fuels are easily producing pollutants

• 3．Working women make up nearly half of the US．workforce，and 51 percent of professional workers，like doctors，lawyers，nurses and accountants，are female．While climbing the career ladder can be rewarding，it often comes with one big downside：weight gain!
     New research published this week in the International Journal of Obesity shows that working women are more likely to be overweight，and the more you work，the more pounds you're likely to pile on．Like many women，I work…a lot!As a self employed nutrition communications specialist，I sit at my desk，in front of a computer，for hours on end．Sitting alone is one of the worst things you can do for your health，and it's directly linked to being overweight and increased fatness，so the fact that women in the workforce gain weight isn't that surprising．If you work，you have less time to move around．Obesity（肥胖癥）researchers are revealing many other ways that employment is harmful to your diet and waistline．
     In the International Journal of Obesity study，some 9，276 Australian women aged 4550 had their body weight and employment status monitored for two years．Results？Those who worked more than 35 hours were likely to gain weight compared to those who worked fewer hours or were out of the workforce．What's more，the more hours a woman worked in a week，the more weight she gained．
     The authors of the Australian study attribute weight gain among working women to inactivity，lack of time for food preparation，more use of prepared foods，high levels of stress，lack of sleep and consuming more alcohol．I'll also add in travel，meals eaten out and working at night as other factors that I can find to make balancing work with a healthy diet a challenge．

  Dear Peter，
  I am writing to ask that you are able to do me a favor．I want to have a pen friend，hopefully，a girl in her early twenties，and with interests similarly to mine．In my mind，he is someone interesting in traveling，swimming，and playing table tennis．However，it would be better for her to have a pet dog as I have been kept one at home for some time．With such a pen friend，I hope I can share with her our experiences in traveling，taking care pets，or whatever we have in common．I believed I will improve my English by doing so and learn more about her countries．I am looking forward to hear from you soon．
  Best regards，
  Li Hua．
