高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
As an English teacher,I’ve been lucky enough to travel to many countries all over the world.I’ve seen people celebrate everything from the arrival of new babies to the delivery of new cars.I’ve attended weddings,parties and religious celebrations in countries such as Argentina and Japan,and I’ve noticed that gold—the metal or the colour of it—is always part of cultural events,traditions and celebrations.
It makes me wonder:Why do people love gold?
For some people,gold seems to be a status(地位)symbol.Indian businessman Datta Phuge loves gold so much that he even bought a shirt made of gold at a cost of $250,000.I’m not sure I’d spend so much money on a shirt,would you?But Datta Phuge has his reason.He explains,“Some people want to own an Audi or a Mercedes.I choose gold.”
For other people,gold is an investment(投资).The price of gold generally increases over time and in European markets,it reached even $1,500 per ounce in 2011.
And for many people,a family heirloom(传家宝)brings together status and investment.My mother has a gold bracelet(手镯)that was given to her by her grandmother who,in turn,inherited it from her own grandmother.It’s quite a heavy piece and probably worth quite a lot of money.But its mental value is greater than its value in dollars.It’s a beautiful object that holds many family memories.When the time comes,my mum will give the bracelet to me,and one day,I’ll pass it on to the younger generation.
Therefore,status and investment are good reasons to value gold.However,I think that the real reason why people love gold is that it can be made into beautiful objects.Think about Tutankhamen’s death mask.Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?
People love gold because it holds their minds,their imaginations and,above all,their hearts.
1.The main idea of the first paragraph is that .
A.the author has traveled to many countries
B.people celebrate almost everything
C.there are many ways to use gold
D.people all over the world love gold
2.Datta Phuge bought a shirt made of gold because .
A.gold is a status symbol to him
B.he loves this kind of shirt
C.people there love gold so much
D.he is a successful businessman
3.According to the passage,in Europe,gold could be per ounce in 2010.
A.$1,550 B.$1,500 C.$1,450 D.$1,600
4.The gold bracelet is the heirloom for the author’s family mainly because .
A.it’s worth a lot of money
B.it brings status and investment
C.it’s a beautiful object
D.it holds family memories

I’ve been researching my family tree since 1998 ，and I’ve long been curious about DNA as a way to learn more about my roots. The technology has come a long way in the last decade, and it’s become more affordable too. Finally, I went ahead and ordered a Y-DNA test.
The results came in my email inbox from the DNA lab! When I logged in to see the results, there are 29 living people today with whom I share a common direct male ancestor in about the last 1,000 years. They live in Ireland, England, Scotland, South Africa, the United States and probably elsewhere.
I had two close matches, and the rest were more distant. They both live in Ireland! What makes the connection to these two men so interesting is that most Irish genealogical (族谱的)records were burned in fires in Dublin and don’t exist today. Without them, it ‘s hard to trace Irish roots any further back than the 1800s. I’ve written emails to both of them and hope to hear back !
I did some more research on my Y-DNA and found my direct male ancestors were Celtics. They seem to have lived in Western Europe at the time of Ancient Rome. Migration patterns show that my DNA group likely originated in Western Asia, living there 20, 000 and 30, 000 years ago. There are relatives with similar DNA going thousands of years back in what is now Iran, India, Syria, Israel and Turkey.
I was so excited by these results that I decided to trace my motherly line too. My DNA is already at the lab, so now I just have to wait another month or so, and I’m sure to find more interesting things.
1.What is the author’s purpose of doing a Y-DNA test?
A. To satisfy his curiosity about DNA.
B. To know more about his ancestors.
C. To find his families separated long ago.
D. To rewrite genealogical records in Ireland.
2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “matches” in paragraph 3?
A. friends
B. relatives
C. ancestors
D. competitions
3.Where did the author’s family root in?
A. Ireland.
B. Western Asia.
C. Ancient Rome.
D. Western Europe.
4.How did the author feel about the results of the DNA test?
A. Inspired.
B. Relieved.
C. Confused.
D. Discouraged.

We are interested in the preservation of the biodiversity on Earth. What I’ve been working on is rats. Just looking at rats, you can understand continental drift and climate change. We’ve actually rediscovered rats that were thought to be extinct. Darwin was the last one to document them on the Galapagos Islands. People have gone there for hundreds of years and not seen one. In 1997, I went there with my mentor(导师) and another graduate student. Everyone thought I was crazy, why look for something that doesn’t exist? They wouldn’t even give us permits. Our plan was to stop on a beach for a day and then hike up to the top of an extinct volcano where very few people had been:We were on a picturesque, isolated beach. We set out the traps just to see what we might find. The next morning, I checked my traps! I immediately ran back to my mentor. When he looked in the mental trap—I will never forget his face--- It looked like he’d seen a ghost.
I certainly understand the argument: “ Who cares about an extinct rat?” but you have no idea what role that rat plays in that functioning ecosystem. People can appreciate beauty, so that’s why people love pandas and want to keep them around. You never hear, “What good is panda?” Ecologically, these rats are much more important to their ecosystem than those pandas--- not that I don’t love pandas but we have to look beyond the big and beautiful.
I teach conservation biology and evolution. In both you have to appeal to people asking “ Why is this important to me?” Some scientists refuse to do that. That’s my entire approach. I’ll ask “How many of you had a family member who was in a tornado, hurricane or flood?” .And almost every hand goes up. Climate change is suddenly very personal, and now they want to hear what you are saying. You are not looking for sympathy for the rats but for a greater understanding of the system.
1.When the author went to the Galapagos Island with his team in 1997,________.
A. they were led to an extinct volcano.
B. they were driven away from the islands
C. they were offered some useful information
D. they couldn’t be understood by other people
2.Seeing the rat in the trap, the author’s mentor felt____.
A. delighted B. astonished
C. satisfied D. frightened.
3.The author mentions pandas in Paragraph 2 to show______.
A. it is no use protecting pandas
B. it’s important to research on rats
C. it’s time we cared about ecosystems
D. it’s worthwhile to bring extinct rats back to life.
4.How does the author make his students focus on his lectures?
A. By letting them know the courses are closely related to them.
B. By informing them of the harm of climate change.
C. By telling them the influence of natural disasters.
D. By making them feel sorry for the rats.
