2017-2018学年高中英语 每日一题(第05周)每周一测试题(含解析)新人教版必修2

每周一测 I. 阅读理解 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A Personal computers and Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time. Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but the new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience. E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before e-mail became such a practical tool. The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun—see a great movie perhaps and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may be tired of telling the story. With e-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience. E-mail is al so an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use e-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children at college. We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the ways. 1. The purpose of this passage is to ____________. A. explain how to use the Internet B. describe the writer’s joy of keeping up with the latest technology C. tell the value and usefulness of the Internet D. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet 2. The use of e-mail has made it possible for the writer to ____________.

B Jazz guitarist Joel Harrison came of age in 1960s and 70s’Washingt on,but he never saw it as a place to build a career as an adventurous,progressive musician.Everywhere he's gone,however,he’s taken the sounds of the city with him. “Growing up in that area allowed me access to a lot of different kinds of music,”says Har rison,61,who’s now based in New York after living in Boston and San Francisco.“Southern music traditions—old-time music,bluegrass,country—as well as jazz and R&B.” All of those appear to some degree in Free Country,a project Harrison began in 2003 as a means of filtering (渗透)country and bluegrass compositions through a up-to-date jazz sound and sensibility.On his new album,“Angel Band:Free Country V ol.3,”Harrison,on guitar and vocals(演唱),and his band take on many traditional bluegrass songs.Each cut is really kind of its own,distinct sound world.Since Harrison released the first two Free Country albums,he has produced 14 other albums.The Free Country releases,though,have been his most successful,and established his reputation. In particular,Harrison drew inspiration from Danny Gatton,a D.C.guitar hero who similarly combines the local musical currents.Harrison was a self-described adorer of Gatton,going to attend his countless performances. Harrison is also a composer.His work,rooted in progressive Jazz but exploring multiple types,is often through-composed and highly complex.He received a Guggenheim scholarship in2010 to compose and record an,eight-movement piece.The tunes he plays with Free Country are simpler,based on conventions of folk and pop music—which,for Harrison,is a large part of their appeal. The music that he’s covering timeless,and he aims to find endless currency in its timeless simplicity by maintaining me soul of the compositions and also adding a modern context and a modem language to it.24.What exposed Harrison to various music? A.His growth environment.B.His current place of residence. C.His family background.D.Touring the country. 25.What do we know about Joel Harrison? A.He has released 14 albums in total so far. B.He showed a new jazz style in Free Country. C.He earned large profits by releasing Free Country. D.He was inspired to hold many performances by Gatton. 26.What’s Harrison’s goal of creating music? A.To put modern elements into the languages. B.To develop different styles based on previous jazz. C.To compose more pieces and release more albums. D.To seek great popularity in its permanent simplicity. C Gene therapy(基因治疗)is a revolutionary new technique for treating people with health problems.Up until very recently,the most commonly available methods for treating patients were either through drugs or operations.Gene therapy provides a third option for treatment by transforming or replacing cells with new genetic materials and instructions.Scientists can be very precise in the kinds of changes they make in patients. Gene therapy works by using a delivery system,such as a virus,to enter a patient’s body.Once inside the body,the virus combines with a host cell and delivers the new DNA.The proteins then begin to repair the affected cells.New techniques have focused on removing cells from the patients and transforming them outside the body before reintroducing them to the patients. The two types of gene therapy are called somatic and germline.Somatic therapy refers to changing or replacing a body cell.In this case,the treatment is restricted to the patient only.This will not affect the patient’s future children because the patient's germ(生殖)cells are unaffected.In germline therapy,the patient germ cells are treated,which may affect the patient's future generation.This is highly controversial(有争议的)because it is not clear exactly how this might affect them and further generations.For this reason,many countries have passed laws that prohibit this kind of treatment. Despite the promise of gene therapy,there are still many barriers that need to be overcome before it comes into widespread use.One of the issues is that the use of viruses to deliver DNA may actually cause unexpected problems in patients if the virus grows and attacks the body. Another problem is the nature of many diseases is very complex and spread throughout multiple genes. The use of gene therapy to change a single gene in the body would probably not be sufficient as a cure.Finally,the costs of gene therapy are high. Some gene therapy procedures may cost over$1 million to undertake and require specialized doctors and equipment. 27.What does the underlined word“them”in paragraph 2 refer to? A.Techniques.B.Cells.C.Patients.D.Proteins. 28.What can we learn about gene therapy? A.Gene therapy has been put into practice widely. B.The cells of patients are developed in healthy people. C.Viruses entering the body can mix with host cells and form new DNA. D.Both somatic and germline therapy have side effects on later generations. 29.What's the last paragraph mainly about? A.The disadvantages of gene therapy.B.The promising future of gene therapy. C.The high costs of treatment procedures.D.The issues related to viruses and complex genes.30.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Why Gene Therapy Procedures Are Extremely Expensive B.Gene Therapy:A Dangerous New After-operation Treatment C.Gene Therapy:A Contemporary Progressive Treating Method D.Scientists Are Accurate in Performing the Categories of Surgery
