2014-2015学年河北省衡水市武邑中学高三（下）单元测试卷（23）

一、阅读理解 第一节：阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．

• 1．I always avoid going on field investigations with the toxics（有毒物） team，unless it's absolutely necessary．It's not that I mind the hard work，or am afraid of coming into contact with toxic substances．What I fear is quickly losing hope about the work I do．
     However，doing field research with the toxic team，all I see and feel is filth---nothing else．Even if I close my eyes，I can smell the smell of food processing，rotting organic waste from paper mills and chemicals from clothing manufacturers．
     One morning，I went to investigate a discharged pipe to document and collect samples of pollutants secretly being emitted by a textile mill．I had to work with the utmost secrecy in order to avoid being discovered by the textile mill．
     I dipped a long measuring pole into the large polluting pipe to measure the volume of polluted water being emitted．But the surface of the water，covered in oil and filth，made me feel as if to vomit（呕吐）．
     All of a sudden，I felt someone hit me on my back，it frightened me so much that I almost fell into the water．I grasped the pole and looked behind me to see an old man standing there．He asked： "Can you catch fish here？" I realized that he thought I was holding a fish pole，so I kept calm and said： "Yes，I heard that there's a kind of small fish living in this water，and it has medicinal benefits．"
     The old man grew quite curious and replied： "That may be．If a fish can survive in water as dirty as this，it must have a lot of resistance．So it wouldn't be too strange if such fish had medicinal benefits．"
  It was clear he was just passing by，so I answered： "Yeah，survival of the fittest．Fish that adapt can survive，just like us humans．"
     He kept talking to me and didn't want to leave．He wanted to see whether or not I would catch the small fish with medicinal benefits．

第二节 短文改错

• 7．Nowadays，with the growing popularity of computers，students were paying less and less attention to handwriting．
      According to a recently survey，many students don't want to improve their handwriting for various reason．52 percent of them think that they can just use a computer，so it is no need to waste time improving our handwriting．32 percent believe that they are too busy with the study that they have no time to practising，and 16 percent think that practicing handwriting is useless．
      As the saying went，writing style shows the man．Beautiful and neat handwriting is great benefit，especially for students．Therefore，in my opinion，the more importance should be attached to handwriting from now on．
