单元综合检测(一) (UNIT 1 & UNIT 2) (时间：100分钟 满分：120分) 第一部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A There are many scientific breakthroughs made by women in the Antarctic．Here are four landmarks in Antarctica and the female pioneers they're named after． Jones Terrace The ice-free terrace in eastern Antarctica's Victoria Land bears Jones' name．In 1969，geochemist Lois M．Jones led the first all-female research team from the U．S．to work in Antarctica．Jones and her team studied chemical weathering in the McMurdo Dry Valleys，an ice-free area of Antarctica．Through chemical analyses of rocks they had collected，Jones and her team discovered many geochemical characteristics of the valley's ice-covered lakes． Mount Fiennes 8，202-foot-high Mount Fiennes，located on Antarctica's largest island—Alexander Island—is named after Ginny Fiennes．She established and maintained 80-foot-tall radio towers in the Antarctic with her colleagues．In 1985，Fiennes became the first female invited to join the Antarctic Club，a British supper club open to individuals who have spent extended time in the Antarctic region． Francis Peak The 3，727-foot-tall peak on Antarctica's Adelaide Island is named after Dame Jane Francis，who is the first female director of the British Antarctic Survey，the national polar research institute of the UK．Her collection of fossils on Seymour Island helped conclude in a 2021 paper that Antarctica's abundant plant fossils indicate the continent once had a much warmer climate than it currently does． Peden Cliffs Peden Cliffs near Antarctica's Marie Byrd Land are proof of the labor of Irene Peden．She was the first American female scientist to both live and work in the Antarctic，where she used radio waves to study ice sheets．Peden and her team determined how very low frequency radio wave spread over long polar distances by measuring pathways in the ice．They also used varying radio wave frequencies to measure the thickness of Antarctica's ice sheets． 1．What do the first two pioneers have in common A．They analyzed different chemicals of rocks in Antarctica． B．They both worked with their own team in Antarctica． C．They conducted the research in the ice-free areas in Antarctica． D．They joined the Antarctic Club for their stay in Antarctica． 2．Who proved the previous higher temperatures of the Antarctic A．Lois M．Jones． B．Ginny Fiennes． C．Dame Jane Francis． D．Irene Peden． 3．What is the scientific breakthrough of Irene Peden A．She was the first American scientist to explore the Antarctic． B．She measured the spreading frequencies of radio waves． C．She found out the thickness of Antarctica's ice sheets． D．She discovered a lot of ice-covered lakes in the Antarctic． B At the end of 2019，I learned that Here After AI，whose goal is to let the living communicate with the dead，was looking for applicants ... ...
