2019届一轮复习人教版必修五Unit 1 Great scientists 单元测试 (1)

Ⅰ.阅读理解

The wallet is heading for extinction.As a day－to－day essential，it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers.The kind of shopping，where you hand over notes and count out change in return，now happens only in the most minor of our retailers (零售商)，like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a corner shop.At the shops where you spend any real money，that money is increasingly abstracted.And this is more and more true，the higher up the scale you go.At the most cutting edge(前沿的) retail stores，Victoria Beckham on Dover Street，for instance，you don’t go and stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay.The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa.

Across society，the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy.Maybe I’m just old－fashioned.But earning money isn’t quick or easy for most of us.Isn’t it a bit weird that spending it should happen in half a blink(眨眼睛) of an eye? Doesn’t a wallet，that time－honored Friday－night feeling of pleasing，promising fatness，represent something that matters?

But I’ll leave the economics to the experts.What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment.Everything about the look and feel of a wallet，the way the materials wear and tear and loosen with age，the plastic and paper and gold and silver，and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets，is the very opposite of what our world is becoming.The opposite of a wallet is a smartphone or an iPad.The rounded edges，cool glass，smooth and unknowable as a pebble.Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners，we move our fingers left and right.No more counting out coins.Show your wallet，if you still have one.It may not be here much longer.

My father used to be an amateur wrestler and national champion.He was forced by his father to give up the sport in order to obtain gainful employment，which meant he wouldn’t be able to win a medal for our country.Therefore，he made a vow that his unborn son would realize his unfinished dream.__1__ He was about to give up hope when one day，my younger sister Babita and I beat up two boys accidentally in response to critical comments. My dad found our potential to become wrestlers and began coaching us.__2__ We were required to do physical training early in the morning and have short haircuts to avoid lice.

__3__ We complained about him all the time.Gradually，I realized that he wanted us to have a good future and not grow up to be ordinary housewives.Motivated，we willingly participated in his coaching.

With great efforts，he made us competitive wrestlers and I won junior and senior championships, providing me with a chance to gain training in the National Sports Academy，where pride and agony fulfilled my mind.__4__ As a result，I found myself losing every match at the international level.After that，I turned to him for help.Then he coached me patiently.

Despite difficulty，I finally became the first Indian female wrestler to qualify for the Olympics，inspiring dozens of Indian women to take to wrestling.Even now，Papa’s words are still in my mind “ Geeta，think about all the girls who are thought to be inferior to boys，girls who are forced to do chores，girls who are married and have children.Not only will you compete with other countries，but also with those who look down upon women！” I will never forget about Father’s instruction.__5__ A.But his methods were cruel.

B.I almost abandoned what Papa had taught me. C.Disappointingly，my mother gave birth to all girls. D.My sister and I tried to escape. E.I will always owe all success to him.

F.At first，my sister and I did not understand our father. G.However，my mother didn’t agree with him.

【语篇导读】 “我”的爸爸曾经是业余的摔跤运动员和全国冠军，但被迫放弃了摔跤，他把所有的希望寄托在未出生的儿子身上，但是“我”的妈妈生的都是女孩。一天爸爸发现了“我”和妹妹身上的摔跤天赋，并开始对我们进行严格训练，最终“我”成为印度第一位取得参加奥运会资格的女子摔跤运动员。 1.C [根据空处前一句“Therefore，he made a vow that his unborn son would realize his unfinished dream”可知，他要让他未出生的儿子实现他未完成的梦；结合第二段第一句“He was about to give up hope when one day...comments”可知，他几乎放弃了希望；据此可以判断，“我”的妈妈生的都是女孩，所以父亲很失望，故C项符合语境。]

2.A [根据空处后一句“We were required to do physical training early in the morning and have short haircuts to avoid lice”可知，我们在清晨便要参加训练，必须剪成短发；据此可以判断，父亲的训练方法很残酷，故A项符合语境。] 3.F [本段讲述了我们对于爸爸残酷的训练方式从不情愿到接受的心态的变化；根据空处后一句“We complained about him all the time”可知，我们开始对父亲是抱怨、不理解的。故选F项。]

4.B [根据空处后一句“As a result，I found myself losing every match at the international level”和下文中的“After that，I turned to him for help”可知，“我”在国际水平的比赛中总是失败，而上文中讲的却是“我”不断胜利，拿到冠军；由此可知“我”摒弃了爸爸教给“我”的方法，结果在每一场国际水平的比赛中“我”都输了，故选B项。]

5.E [本段叙述了爸爸的话，结合空处前一句“I will never forget about Father’s instruction”可知，“我”不会忘记爸爸的教导，并从全文来看，“我”的成功与爸爸是分不开的。故选E项。] Ⅲ.完形填空
