unitRevision练习 新人教版必修3

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

He wishes the holiday season would end already. His back aches, his red suit feels like a spacesuit, his cheeks have gone tight from smiling for 12 hours—and still the kids keep coming and coming, like ants at a picnic. As Christmas becomes more commercialized (商业化) across the U. S. and Canada, so must Santas. As the holiday begins earlier each year, so must its spokesmen.

The questions from children these days are harder than ever. Now, with thousands of children expecting a father or mother serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, the questions are as heart-breaking as they are unanswerable. For example, “Can you please bring Daddy home from the war in time for Christmas morning？”

Santas also have a pretty good chance of getting sued (指控). A professional Santa Claus in Canada told a story : A Santa had a girl on his knee, and he commented, “You have nice eyes and nice hair.” The girl later said it was sexual harassment (骚扰). When a Santa feels anxious, he often shows it in the same ways ordinary people do. The Santas were always seen to hang around at the dinner table when the show ended. Many of them just sleep in bed for several days and don't see other children again.

文章大意：随着圣诞节这个传统节日的商业化程度的加深，“圣诞老人”们的职业化色彩越来越浓厚；“圣诞老人”们的工作也是越来越艰辛了。

1．In the first paragraph，“spokesmen” refers to ______. A．businessmen B．political leaders

C．organizers of the activities D．Santa Clauses

答案：D 根据第一段最后两句话“As Christmas becomes more commercialized(商业化) across the U．S. and Canada，so must Santas. As the holiday begins earlier each year, so must its spokesmen.”可知：spokesmen对应着上句话中的Santas。

2．The passage implies that the job of Santa Claus is ________. A．well-paid C．worth doing

B．very hard D．dangerous

答案：B 根据文章第一段第二句话可知：圣诞老人的工作很艰辛。

3．According to the third paragraph, Santas may sometimes be blamed for ________. A．doing something against the law B．hanging around the dinner table C．being lazy and sleeping in bed for days D．not playing their roles as expected

答案：A 根据第三段第一句话“Santas also have a pretty good chance of getting sued(指控)．”可知：“圣诞老人们”容易受到他人的指控是因为他们做了一些违法的事。

4．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Christmas: Not a Good Festival for Santas B．Is Santa Claus Really Alive? C．A Christmas Story

D．What Does Santa Claus Do for Children?

答案：A 本文围绕“圣诞老人们”的工作展开。第一段讲述了“圣诞老人们”工作很艰辛；第二段说孩子们的提问更难回答；第三段讲述了可能面临被投诉的问题；因此，圣诞节对于圣诞老人们来说不是个好日子。

B

Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren't in film school yet and aren't, strictly speaking, even adults?

They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln Center. Complete with“red carpet”interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18.

“What's really exciting is that it's films for kids by kids，”said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia.“We want to make this a national event，”Ms. Gardner added.

The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of

B．B.

King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. “A lot of the material is really mature，”Ms. Gardoner said, talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group. “The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of

secondhand smoke. Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants'(移民)feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.”

The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and a full-length film whose title is Pressures.

6．Which of the following is true of Wingspan Arts? A．It helps young filmmakers to make money. B．It provides arts projects for young people. C．It's a media arts and leadership-training group. D．It's a national organization for young people.
