第三章单元测试
- Read the following passage and choose the best answer for the question.
You are skimming through an article in which most of the words are unknown to you. From which, here are the ones you can understand:
Professor, Institute of Biochemistry, hard-working man, results of experiments, published, confession, invention, different results, fraud, regrets it
Can you guess, from these few words, what the article is about?( ) - Read the following passage and choose the best answers for the TWO questions.
The old conditions of travel and the new conditions of most travel of today are exactly opposite. For in old travel, as on horseback or on foot, you saw the country while you travelled. Many of your stopping places were for rest, or because night had fallen, and you could see nothing at night. Under the old system, therefore, a wise traveller might keep moving from day to day, slowly, indeed, but seeing something all the time, and learning what the country was through which he passed by talk with the people. But in the new system, he is shut up with his party and a good many other parties in a tight bus with glass windows, and whirled on through dust if it is dusty, or if it is rainy, under arrangements which make it impossible to talk with the people of the country, and almost impossible to see what that country is.
The old conditions of travel are ____ the new ones.( ) - In this passage the author suggests that ____.( )
- Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.
Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don't threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.
Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we'll have a way to change its course.
Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: (1) How likely the event is; and (2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare—but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we don't take care of these big asteroids, they'll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It's that simple.”
The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,” said a New York Times article.
We can conclude from the passage that( ). - No-one is expecting an interviewee to grin manically throughout the interview, but there’s nothing worse than a blank or worried expression. Here’s an old trick: looking up at the ceiling and raising your eyebrows just before entering the interview room will relax your face.
Choose the best topic sentence for the following paragraph. ( ) - Interviewers spend all day listening to answers to the same set of questions, and so they would appreciate someone who is concise. Also, digressing into an anecdote about your Aunt Sandy doesn’t say much for your ability to focus on one task. If you have a relevant story to tell, practice it until you can deliver it in as few words as possible.
Choose the best topic sentence for the following paragraph. ( ) - Scratching the nose or breaking eye contact, for example, are both sure signs that the interviewee is not being entirely honest. Someone who does not sit straight might be lazy, while someone who sits too straight is probably not creative. These are subjective and perhaps hasty judgements, but interviewers are human, like everyone else.
Choose the best topic sentence for the following paragraph.( ) - Read the following passage and choose the best answer to fill in the blank.
Learning styles
We all learn in different ways. One of learning focuses on the way information is given to learners and refers to visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learners.
Visual learners respond well to pictures, colours, images. They need to see things to help them learn and remember.
Auditory learners learn best by hearing things.
Kinaesthetic learners like movement. They need movement and hands-on tasks to help them learn.
In any class we teach, the learners will have a range of learning styles. This means that to help all of our learners learn we have to use a range of classroom activities and techniques so that different styles of learner are interested and can from our lessons.
