单元质量评估(四)时间：100分钟分数：120分第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。AThis assertion(断言) belongs to Albert Einstein that in life imagination is more important than knowledge.Another important thing that goes together with imagination and knowledge is intelligence.This contributes to our behaviour in society, to our integration(整合) in different groups of people and helps us manage in extreme situations of our life.First of all, imagination can be noticed mostly at intelligent persons.However, everybody has a certain degree of imagination, be it higher or slower.Consequently, each one of us uses his imagination in the every day life and contributes at making different inventions, some of them being very useful to the mankind.Here we can mention the inventions that men of science and not only have invented for the benefit of the developing of society: the bulb, the radio, the telephone, the steam, the Internet and so on.On the contrary, knowledge is important but only if people know how to apply it in different fields of activity.However, one has to be intelligent enough and have imagination in order to achieve his goals in life.According to all these, I believe that imagination undergoes knowledge, the latter needing learning and time in order to be achieved, whereas the former appears as the result of ones degree of intelligence.We can take the rapid development of the Japanese society as an example of both imagination and knowledge.People there are very intelligent and have known to take advantage of their knowledge to modernize their society.Therefore, theyve organized their market economy using the experiences of the west countries.The military navy and the parliamentary regime(议会政体) took over the English system and the American one in the field of education.Hence, all of these factors were put into functioning taking also into consideration the Japanese specific culture and traditions.If we were to conclude asking if Albert Einstein was right or not, we can only say that it all depends on whom we ask, what we ask about and when.But there is one thing that I am sure about, that is imagination is more important than knowledge.【语篇解读】文章论述了想象力比知识更重要的观点。1Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?AEverybody has the same degree of imaginationBThe rapid development of the japanese societyCImagination is more important than knowledgeDTips on how to learn from other countries解析：主旨大意题。本文为议论文，论述的观点为“想象力比知识更重要”。短文第一段第一句提出了论点“in life imagination is more important than knowledge”，文章用大量的篇幅加以论证这个论点，最后一段最后一句回扣主题，进一步总结作者的论点“that is imagination is more important than knowledge”。由此可以推断C项做文章标题合适。答案：C2We know from the passage that intelligence _Ais the major source of imagination and knowledge Bplays the most important role in ones achievement Chas nothing to do with imagination and knowledgeDcan help us deal with extreme situations of our life解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“This contributes to our behaviour in society, to our integration in different groups of people and helps us manage in extreme situations of our life.”可知选项D正确。A项短文没有提到；B项太绝对；根据第一段中的“Another important thing that goes together with imagination and knowledge is intelligence.”可排除C。答案：D3By giving the example of the rapid development of the Japanese society, the author _Aexplains the relationship between imagination and knowledgeBwants to tell us the importance of both imagination and knowledgeCintends to give some advice on how to modernize the societyDexpresses his own opinion on how to borrow ideas from others解析：推理判断题。根据第五段第一句“We can take the rapid development of the Japanese society as an example of both imagination and knowledge.”以及整段内容可以推测，作者以日本社会的快速发展作为例子说明日本人既发挥想象力同时又具备充分的知识，由此可以推测，作者想告诉我们的是想象力和知识的重要性。故B项正确。答案：BBI dont think I can recall a time when I wasnt aware of the beauty of the ocean.Growing up in Australia，I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side.The first time I went to Halfmoon Bay，I_suddenly_had_the_feeling_of_not_being_able_to_feel_the_ground_with_my_feet_anymore.For my 10th birthday，my sister and I were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef.There were fish in different colours，caves and layers of coral.They made such an impression on me.When I learned that only 1 percent of Australias Coral Sea was protected，I was shocked.Australian marine(海洋的)life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine(海洋的)species than any other country on earth.But sadly，only 45% of the worlds reefs are considered healthy.This statistic is depressing，so its important for us to do everything to protect them.The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete ecosystem has led me to take action.Ive become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity，which aims to create the largest marine park in the world.It would serve as a place where the oceans species will all have a safe place forever.To
