人教版 英语选修七 unit1 综合能力测试一

27．A 推理判断题。总览文章文意可知，当你的同事造成某一问题产生时，你不应该去抱怨他、责备他缺少责任感(B)，告诉他找到问题的根源(C)，或向一位更能干的同事求助(D)，而是要找到一个更好的解决问题的方法，故A项符合文意。

28．D 细节理解题。由最后一段第三句可知他们只是擅于把问题看成是对自我的挑战或是自我提升、发展自己的良机，故排除意为“对同事挑战”的C项，选D项。A项的“为失败找借口”是失败者的做法，故被排除；B项中的 barriers 应为 stepping stones 才正确，故被排除。

Going green seems to be a fad(时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can't really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.

On April 22,2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.

With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.

Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic(有机的) stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through

websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.

Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

29．What might be the best title for the passage? A．Going Green B．Protecting the Planet C．Keeping Open-Minded D．Celebrating Our Green Year

A．they were expected to follow the green fad B．they didn't know how to educate other people C．they were unwilling to reduce their energy D．they needed to perform unusual green tasks

31．What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year? A．They tried to get out of their ungreen habits. B．They ignored others' ungreen behavior. C．They chose better chemical cleaners. D．They sold their home-made food.

A．The government will give support to the green project.

B．The couple may continue their project in the future. C．Some people disagree with the couple's green ideas. D．Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.

30．D 细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句“This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things.”可知D项正确。

31．A 细节理解题。Our Green Year 这个关键信息可以在倒数第二段找到，该段说作者一家完全改变了生活方式，如在有机商店购物，少吃肉，尽量少买不需要的东西，不用化学清洁剂等，这些都是环保的习惯，与A项的概括相一致。故选A。

Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one's personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person's ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things.All these, however, remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.

However，at the back of the minds of many people，especially those who miss the “good old days”， efficiency_comes_with_a_price. When communication becomes more efficient，people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to.The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadgets,_such as mobile phones and ipads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally.A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the person's presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off.

With efficiency also comes mass production.Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today.Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handicrafts(手工艺品) are now produced in a factory.Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.

Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.

It is people's attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people's
