Unit1 A land of diversity 单元检测 Ⅰ.阅读理解 ‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。‎ A ‎ No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the US. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Famous dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However, they are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these presents detailed description of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.‎ ‎ Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational” which feature crime and gossip (闲谈), to the “serious”, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions, American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with the attraction of television.‎ ‎ Just as American newspapers satisfy all tastes, so do they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few newspapers support extremist (极端主义的) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers try to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are moderate (中立的). Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.‎ ‎ As in other countries, American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once courageously exposed political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair (水门事件). The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the horrors ‎ of the Vietnam War.‎ ‎1. There are fewer national newspapers in .‎ ‎ A. the US than in Britain or France ‎ B. France than in the US or Britain ‎ C. Britain than in the US ‎ D. France than in Britain ‎2. Why do most American newspapers try hard to entertain their readers?‎ ‎ A. Because they have to give factual news in an interesting way.‎ ‎ B. Because they have to keep up a good relation with them.‎ ‎ C. Because they have to write about crime and gossip.‎ ‎ D. Because they have to compete with television.‎ ‎3. How do many American newspapers attract readers of different political preference?‎ ‎ A. By avoiding carrying articles about extremists.‎ ‎ B. By supporting extremist groups from time to time.‎ ‎ C. By printing articles representing different political viewpoints.‎ ‎ D. By inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for them.‎ ‎4. The passage is mainly about .‎ ‎ A. the advantages and disadvantages of American newspapers ‎ B. the characteristics of American newspapers ‎ C. the development of American newspapers ‎ D. the functions of American newspapers B ‎ Before you walked down the aisle—if you even did---did you first agree to take your partner’s name? had you agreed to the bank for updated credit cards, changed your email address, and updated your Facebook?‎ ‎ I didn't; and I know plenty of women out there didn't, either. So I was pretty shocked to learn that in a recent survey, over 50 percent of U.S. citizens believe a wife should take her husband's name—and she should be required to do so by law.‎ ‎ Author Emily Schafer, a sociology professor at Portland State University, surveyed a representative national sample of 1,200 people tar the study, which found that a larger number of American adults think there needs to actually be a law in place to prevent women from keeping their own name.‎ ‎ The most common reason given? The general belief is that women should prioritize（优先）their marriage and their family ahead of themselves. To this, I admit I'm a bit confused, because I don't understand how exactly riot taking your husband’s last name means you aren't prioritizing your marriage.‎ ‎ Now, I didn't take my husband's name for a variety of reasons: I didn’t feel like the name was "mine" and professionally I had built up a reputation as a writer under my maiden（未婚的）name, so I didn't want to lose that. His surname wasn't easy to spell, either; everyone gets it wrong (including my mother—still—and we've been married 13 years).But most of all, I felt like in taking my husband's last name, I was losing a huge sense of self. And while yes, we are a family, I don't want his surname to define me. I'm not his possession.‎ ‎ Just like every aspect of motherhood, each woman should be respected for the choices she makes—without having to do anything by law. And we should all be grateful to Lucy Stone—the first American woman to legally maintain her last name after marriage in 1856.Just imagine how difficult that must have been to forego tradition in that time?‎ ‎5. What can be learned about the tradition of taking a husband's name from the survey?‎ ‎ A. A law should be there to break the tradition.‎ ‎ B. The majority of American adults support the tradition.‎ ‎ C. The majority of American women go against the tradition.‎ ‎ D. The law requires wives to take their husbands' names in America.‎ ‎6. Why does an American woman generally take her husband's name?‎ ‎ A. To value her marriage and family.‎ ‎ B. To show honesty to her husband.‎ ‎ C. To join in the family of her husband.‎ ‎ D. To unite a new family under the same name.‎ ‎7. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?‎ ‎ A. Why the author didn't use her husband's name.‎ ‎ B. Why the author's mother didn't like her husband.‎ ‎ C. How worthy the author's own maiden name was.‎ ‎ D. How bored the author became with her husband's name.‎ ‎8. What does the author think of the tradition?‎ ‎ A. It's reasonable ‎ ‎ B. It isn’t worth caring ‎ C. Every coin has two sides ‎ ‎ D. It's out of date and confusing.‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 ‎ 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ There are usually parents and two children in a typical British family.
