The Bowlers wore clothes from 1900, ate only food available in England at that time, and cooked their meals on a single stove. Paul Bowler still went to work every day in a then uniform. Thechildren changed their clothes on the way to and from school and their classmates didn’t know about their unusual home life. Joyce stayed at home, cooking and cleaning like a typical housewife of the time, though everything took three times as long.So does Joyce think that people’s lives were better in the old days?“I think people in the old days had just a s many troubles and worries,” Joyce said, “a nd I don’t think their life was better or worse. There were lots of things back then that I’m happy I don’t have to deal with nowadays, but on the other hand, life was simpler.” “We had a lot more time with our family, and it was hard being nice to each other all the time,” eleven-year-old Hilary said.So what did the Bowler family miss most about modern life while living in the 1900 house?Paul, 39: “telephone and a hot shower”Joyce, 44: “a quick cup of tea from a kettle you could just turn on”Hilary, 11: “rock CD”Joseph, 9: “hamburger and computer games”36. While the Bowler family was living in the 1900house, _____.A. the mother spent more time on houseworkB. the two children wore the then clothes forschoolC. they prepared their meals together on a stoveD. they ate simple foods they had never seen37. According to Paragraph 4, what’s Jo y ce’s opinionabout life in 1900?A. There were fewer problems for the family.B. Life was simpler but worse than it is now.C. There were things she liked and disliked.D. The family had more time to stay together.38. What would Hilary expect most from modern lifein the three months?A. To play computer games.B. To make phone calls.C. To listen to music.D. To chat on the Internet.BLiverpool，my hometown，is a unique city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage (遗产) Site.I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey. Blanketed in mist (薄雾)，Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river，responded to the sounds of sea-birds，and appeared unbelievably charming. When I headed toward the centre，I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe. It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid signs of Liverpool's history.As if to stress its cultural role，Liverpool has more museums and galleries (美术馆) than most cities in Britain. At Walker Art Gallery，I was told that it has the best collections of Victorian paintings in the world，and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However，culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britain's No.1 music city，it has the biggest city music festival in Europe，and its musicians are famous all over the world. Liverpool is also wellknown for its football and other sports events. Every year，the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors，making the city a place of wonder.As you would expect from such a city，there are restaurants serving food from around the world. When my trip was about to complete，I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool's famous Philharmonic pub(酒馆)．It is a monument to perfection，and a heritage attraction itself.Being a World Heritage Site，my home city is certainly a place of “outstanding universal value”．It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.39. Visitors who see the city for the first time wouldbe deeply impressed by______.A. its charming banksB. its famous museumsC. its wonderful palacesD. its attractive buildings40. The third paragraph is developed mainlyby______.A. providing different examplesB. following the order of spaceC. making comparisonsD. analyzing causes41. The author uses the Philharmonic pub to provethat______.A. Liverpool is a wellknown city for itsrestaurantsB. Liverpool is an impressive place full ofattractionC. a pub is a wonderful place for visitors to relaxthemselvesD. a pub is a perfect choice for visitors tocomplete their journey42. What is the passage mainly about?A. The universal value of the world heritage inLiverpool.B. The exciting experience of the author inLiverpool.C. The special cultural atmosphere of Liverpool.D. The beautiful historic sites of Liverpool.CA rise in the earth’s temperature could lead to an increase in the number of insects worldwide, with potentially serious consequences for humans.A new study shows that insect species living in warmer areas are more likely to undergo (经历) rapid population growth because they have higher metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates and reproduce more frequently. The finding has scientists concern that global warming could give rise to more fast-growing insect population and that we could see it in the number of six-legged insects.The consequences could be more serious than just a few extra bug (小昆虫) bites each summer . “If they’re crop species, we could count on needing to use more insect-killers and it could be very costly,”said Melanie Frazier, a doctoral student at the University of Washington. Insect-borne diseases are also a worry. Malaria(疟疾), Lyme Disease and a host of others rely on insects to spread among humans, and an increase in their populations could mean more infections.Already, scientists have observed malarial zones with new cases appearing in areas unaffected before. The change is thought to be due to rising temperatures and an expansion of areas habitable for mosquitoes (蚊子). The new research shows rising temperatures would mean insects would not only spread out, but also multiply (繁衍) more quickly.Still, Frazier says it’s too soon to predict which species will adapt and which might even face extinction (灭绝). She looked at 65 insect species and found a correlation (依存关系) between warm climates and population growth across the board—but, she warned, the scientists have no way of predicting which species will eventually adapt to new, warmer areas. We won’t have to wait long to find out. Insects adapt quickly, so we will likely see changes within our lifetime.43. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Serious diseases are related to global warming.B. Global warming may increase insect population.C. Some insect species may be gone forever.D. Many insect species will have to adapt to newenvironment.44. The underlined word “it” in the secondparagraph probably refers to “______”.A. the rise in the earth’s temperatureB. the high metabolic rates of insectsC. the fast growth of the insect populationD. the number of the insects45. The fast-growing insect population will worry thefarmers because_______.A. some diseases will spread faster than beforeB. they may suffer from bug bites each summerC. the production cost may increaseD. some new diseases will appear46. We can learn from the passage that______.A. humans have started the fight against globalwarmingB. malaria hasn’t been found in new areasC. the increasing population of insects won’tcause more infectionsD. scientists can find out which insect species willadapt to warmer areas in the near futureDWe already know the fastest, least expensive way to slow climate change: Use less energy. With a little effort, and not much money, most of us could reduce our energy diets by 25 percent or more—doing the Earth a favor while also helping our wallets.Not long ago, my wife, PJ, and I tried a new diet—not to lose a little weight but to answer an annoying question about climate change. Scientistshave reported recently that the world is heating up even faster than predicted only a few years ago, and that the consequences could be severe if we don’t keep reducing emissions (排放) of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases that are trapping heat in our atmosphere.We decided to try an experiment. For one month we recorded our personal emissions of CO2. We wanted to see how much we could cut back, so we went on a strict diet. The average US household (家庭) produces about 150 pounds of CO2a day by doing common-place things like turning on air-conditioning or driving cars. That’s more than twice the European average and almost five times the global average, mostly because Americans drive more and have bigger houses. But how much should we try to reduce?For an answer, I checked with Tim Flannery, author of The Weather Makers: How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth. In his book, he had challenged readers to make deep cuts in personal emissions to keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping points, such as the melting (融化) of the ice sheets in Greenland or West Antarctica. “To stay below that point, we need to reduce CO2emissions by 80 percent,” he said.Good advice, I thought. I’d opened our bedroom windows to let in the wind. We’d gotten so used to keeping our air-conditioning going around the clock. I’d almo st forgotten the windows even opened. We should not let this happen again. It’s time for us to change our habits if necessary.47. Why did the author and his wife try a new diet?A. To take special kinds of food.B. To respond to climate change.C. To lose weight.D. To improve their health.48. The underlined words “tipping points” mostprobably refer to “______”.A. freezing pointsB. burning pointsC. melting pointsD. boiling points49. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. it is necessary to keep the air-conditioning onall the timeB. it seems possible for every household to cutemissions of CO2C. the average US household produces about3,000 pounds of CO2 a monthD. the average European household producesabout 1,000 pounds of CO2 a month50. Which of the following would be the best title forthis passage?A. Saving Energy Starts at HomeB. Changing Our Habits Begins at WorkC. Changing Climate Sounds ReasonableD. Reducing Emissions of CO2 Proves Difficult第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It is 30 because the weather has been a lot warmer over the past few years, which 31 the melting(融化) of the ice in the Antarctic. This will soon cause water levelsto 32 and flood parts of the world.Many people ignore this problem because they feel33 they can't do anything about it and have more34 things to worry about. If we all 35 so, then our ozone layer (臭氧层) will be 36 and the planet will no longer be able to make life continue to exist.

In all directions the empty wilderness of Antarctica stretched away from me, the only feature on the landscape was the division between snow and sky. I gazed sadly at my team. They were rapidly disappearing over the horizon.I was leading an expedition(探险队) attempting to reach the south pole. The team was made up of ordinary women from all around the world—from Jamaica, India, Singapore and Cyprus—many of whom had never seen snow, or spent anight in a tent, before we set off. Our aim was to be the most international all-female team to reach the South Pole.As I watched, the rest of the team had marched on, unaware that I was not with them. By the time I realised that my sledge was firmly stuck, the team were already a long way ahead of me. I called out to Era, my teammate from Brunei. "Era! Stop!"Getting no response I called again, but my shouts were carried away in the opposite direction by the wind. Seconds passed. Nothing. I was gradually being left alone, completely defenseless against the fatally low temperatures of Antarctica. My strength increased when I thought of a cold, lonely death. I pulled again my sledge, which moved a little. I removed the ice with my ski-pole and boot, desperately trying to break the sledge free. The sledge shot forward, knocking me off balance. I struggled to my feet and set off after the team.I caught up just as Reena, my teammate from India, looked behind her and noticed there was one person missing. She swung around on her skis in shock and spotted me in the near distance.As we continued, my panic slowly faded. For the rest of the day each of the team was glancing over their shoulder every few minutes. They were not going to risk losing me again.46. What is special about the expedition teamA. They were all female.B. They were all professional.C. They made the longest expedition.D. They had been strictly trained.47. What made the author get her sledge out of the ice was .A. the shouts from her teammatesB. her strong desire to liveC. the sudden change in wind directionD. the natural beauty ahead48. At last, each of the team members kept looking back .A. to avoid being attacked from behindB. to make sure that none fell behindC. to check the distance they had coveredD. to keep a record of the route they took49. Which may be the best title of the passageA. How to Survive in AntarcticaB. A Mysterious Trip to the South PoleC. A Female Expedition TeamD. Being Left Behind in the SnowBAs the world's largest terrestrial carnivore (陆地食肉动物), the polar bear is the king of the great white north. Adult males can measure more than 9 feet in length and weigh between 770 and 1,430 pounds. The polar bears have a strong body while their heads are narrow with small, rounded ears.Polar bears can be found in northern Canada, Greenland, Norway and Russia, and there have been reports that polar bear tracks have been found as far north as the North Pole. The 5,000,000-square-mile range of the polar bear circles the Arctic and contains pieces of open water where seals are easily caught.Polar bears live on the annual Arctic sea ice that provides a platform from which they can hunt. They hunt seals on the sea ice by breaking into seal dens in the sea ice. The dens aren't visible from above, but seeing is less important than smelling to a polar bear—with their sharp sense of smell, polar bears can sense the breathing holes of seals in their dens beneath the snow and ice. As the southern edge of the Arctic ice cap melts in summer, polar bears are forced to stay on land and spend their summers fasting(禁食), living off body fat stored from hunting in spring and winter.With about 22,000 polar bears living in the wild, the species is not endangered at the moment, but its future is farfrom certain. Climate change is causing the disappearance of sea ice from which polar bears hunt seals. Sea ice in the Arctic is melting earlier and forming later each year. People have reached an agreement that controls the hunting of polar bears and directs each nation to protect their habitats, but it does not protect the bears against the biggest man-made threat to their survival: global warming. If current warming trends continue, scientists believe that polar bears may disappear within 100 years.50. Polar bears search for seals mainly through their .A. eyesB. earsC. nosesD. necks51. The underlined word "dens" in Paragraph 3 most probably means " ".A. the skin of the wild animalsB. the home of wild animalsC. the breathing hole of sealsD. water of the deep sea52. Which of the following statements is TRUEA. A polar bear measures at least 9 feet long.B. Polar bears can be found in both the North Pole and the South Pole.C. Polar bears stop hunting in summer because seals are hidden at that time.D. Polar bears may die out as a result of climate change.53. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the polar bear is an endangered species at presentB. we should protect seals in order to keep the food chain in the ArcticC. the polar bear can be found near the North Pole and the South PoleD. people will do something to protect polar bearsCShip tourism to Antarctica is on the rise: More than 35,000 tourists are expected to visit Antarctic this summer. In 1992-1993, 6,750 visited Antarctica, according to the Antarctica Treaty. All of this tourism, however, is putting both tourists and the environment in great danger.Among the tourist ships that visit the continent, the Explorer, a Canadian ship, was one of the first. Put to use in 1969, it was built to carry tourists to Antarctica. Last week, however, it became the first commercial passenger ship to sink beneath the waters. Fortunately, all of the passengers and crew members were rescued from the ship. However, the sunken ship endangered the Antarctic's fragile(脆弱) environment. The ship was estimated to be holding 48,000 gallons of fuel.The accident was not unexpected. Both the US and UK had warned a conference of the Antarctic Treaty member countries in May that the tourism situation in this area was a potential disaster. The US said in a paper, people "should take a hard look at tourism issues now, especially those related to ship safety." Although the Antarctic seas are relatively(相对地) calm, floating ice causes a potential threat to ships. The owner of the Explorer blamed the sinking on a fist-like hole in the ship created by ice.Many of the other large ships now visiting Antarctica are not designed especially against thick ice. Such ships generally can only come to the continent in summer. But the tourist rush is pushing ships into dangerous situations. "The increasing number of ships operating in Antarctic means that the ship are under great pressure to get there in time for the key visiting sites," the British government wrote in a paper at the meeting of member countries.As a natural frontier, Antarctica is in a messy legal situation. There are no obvious answers as to who is responsible for dealing with the threat that tourist may cause to human life and the environment.There is no coast guard for Antarctica. Do we want it to become Disneyland, or do we need some controls54. Which of the following is true according to this passageA. Antarctica tourism has a history of about 22 years.B. The number of tourists to the Antarctic is over 5 times as large as that of 22 years ago.C. The tourism boom has caused holes in the floating ice in the Antarctic.D. The Antarctica Treaty is responsible for the problem.55. The sinking of the Explorer .A. led to a conference about the tourism situation in the AntarcticB. was caused by the rough seasC. had been predictedD. did harm to the Antarctic56. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. a Disneyland will be built in the AntarcticB. fewer people are visiting the Antarctic because of the warnings givenC. not all the ships are suitable to go to the AntarcticD. some ships take risks visiting the Antarctic in other seasons rather than in summer57. In this passage, the writer suggests that .A. people had better not make a tour of the AntarcticB. ships to the Antarctic should be built strong enoughC. there should be legal controls over tourism in the AntarcticD. the Antarctic's environment is fragile58. What attitude does the writer hold towards Antarctic tourismA. Supportive.B. Positive.C. Indifferent.D. Anxious.DTens of thousands of baby penguins face starvation after two giant icebergs broke off the Antarctic ice sheet and blocked their parents' way to feeding areas.Adelie and emperor penguins nesting on the Ross Island are now forced to walk long distances over the icebergs to obtain food for their chicks, born during the November-December breeding season.“The penguins are having to walk 50 km further than usual to reach the sea," said Dean Peterson. The flightless birds travel on land at just one to two km per hour.The problem could halve the chick survival(存活) rate at the three Adelie penguin colonies on Ross Island—estimated at 130,000 breeding pairs. In all Antarctica, there is an estimated three million Adelie penguin breeding pairs.Around 12,000 breeding pairs of emperor penguins, the largest penguin species at up to four feet tall, are also affected. The icebergs broke from the vast Ross Ice shelf, south of New Zealand, in March 2000 and are now sandwiched between Ross Island and Franklin Island, 93 miles to the north.Scientist Peterson estimated that penguins were taking days to make the round trip to the sea to fish, and then back to their nests to regurgitate(反刍) food for their chicks.“At that point they were quite tired and probably don't have much to regurgitate," he said. Penguins already have long odds on reaching adulthood, with only 10 percent surviving beyond adolescence(青春期).“We are proba bly looking at halving that again—we are sitting down at maybe the five percent rate," Peterson said, adding some penguins already appeared to be leaving the Ross Island to breed elsewhere.Penguins come ashore to breed and then take it in turns to leave the nest to fetch fish and other sea food to feed their young.Researchers say large blocks of the Antarctic ice sheet are breaking off for several reasons, including global warming.Emperor and Adelie penguins are limited to Antarctica. The emperors weigh up to 66 pounds while Adelie penguins are much smaller, weighing around 11 pounds.59. After the long trip, the mother penguins .A. are too fired to feed their youngB. can't bring up much to feed their youngC. are too hungry themselvesD. have already eaten up all the food60. The underlined phrase “have long odds on" probably means .A. have little chance ofB. have no difficulty inC. spend long time inD. have great hope of61. From what scientist Peterson said, we infer that .A. the survival rate of penguins is droppingB. there are few penguins left on Ross IslandC. the present situation can cause the penguins to die outD. penguins usually have a high survival rate62. Which of the following best supports the main idea of the passageA. Global warming caused the icebergs to break off.B. The long trip made mother penguins too tired to feed their young.C. The change of weather affects penguins.D. Broken icebergs endanger penguin chicks.答案一、单词拼写(根据中文提示拼写单词)1. extreme2. promote3. abnormal4. numb5. tiresome6. depressing7. discouraged8. emergency9. inspiration二、单词拼写(单句首字母填空)10. state11. depth12. adapted13. trapped14. severe15. exploration三、单项选择16.

【关键字】高中模块综合测评(一)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AWe've colonised most of the world，but one vast stretch of the planet remains beyond our grasp: Antarctica.This frozen continent at the end of the earth has never been permanently occupied by man.Even if you're travelling there on a cruise ship，as most people do，the solitude(孤独)and the emptiness will envelop you.Not that solitude is the first thing that comes to mind when you're standing in the middle of a penguin colony on an Antarctic shoreline.When I visited in early February，there were thousands of birds packed tightly on every rock，both shy gentoo penguins and the bolder adélie penguins.They seemed happy to see us wandering among them; our cameras clicked crazily at the grey fluff-ball chicks who are tapping their parents' beaks (鸟嘴) to be fed.But penguins are by no means the only stars of the show here.I found it equally exciting to see a wandering albatross (信天翁) circling above our ship，dipping its great wings into the rolling waters of the Drake Passage.Or fat elephant seals rest on the beach in a soup of algae (海藻)，shouting at each other like elderly members of a gentlemen's club.Most exciting of all，though，were the whales.As the call went up from the bridge of our ship —“Humpbacks！”—we spotted three of them leaping from the water，their magnificent tails emerging and dipping as if in slow motion，so close that we could see their great heads，their eyes and blowholes.Just as vast and attractive are the icebergs.The glassy world of the Weddell Sea is a fantastic picture of icy skyscrapers stretching to the horizon. Some are whipped by wind and water into fantastical shapes—oriental palaces，ruined fortresses，an Art Deco cinema.All of the above is exactly what makes a voyage here so extraordinary.A journey to Antarctica is a travel experience as special as you can have.【语篇解读】作者描述了自己到南极去的一次旅行经历，在作者的笔下南极的一切都充满了生机和活力。

AWho wants to live in the coldest，windiest，driest place on Earth？Penguins，seals，whales，and some sea birds，of course.Fish，especially cod and icefish，also swim the surrounding seas.Hard to believe，but Antarctica is full of wildlife.These animals are specially adapted to Antarctica's severe environment.Plant life in the Antarctic region mostly consists of bryophytes (苔藓类植物)，lichens，algae and fungi (菌类)，with a rare species or two of flowering plants.Because there isn't enough plant life to sustain the planteating animals，they mostly eat each other.The Antarctic food chain is fairly simple.The Antarctic krill (a tiny shrimplike creature)is the keystone species of the ecosystem，which means that nearly everyone else eats it.Whales，penguins，seals，fish and many sea birds all eat krill，and krill eats even smaller phytoplankton (浮游生物)．Want more shocking details？Leopard seals feed on penguins and other seals.Who eats the leopard seals？Killer whales，if they're around.How do they survive the Antarctic cold？First，blubber(海兽脂)and feathers are extremely important.The longer answer is that warmblooded animals (birds and mammals)in Antarctica maintain constant (恒定的)internal body temperatures，just like warmblooded animals do in other climate zones.If they let their internal temperatures drop below freezing，they'd become penguin popsicles(冰棒)．Second，size matters.Technically speaking，a bigger bird has a smaller surface area to volume ratio，which means it has less relative area through which it loses heat.Most of the warmblooded animals in Antarctica are oversized because big animals of the same shape stay warmer.Apart from the methods mentioned above，penguins have their own special social adaptation.They gather together with friends and family while constantly moving，so that the warm guys in the middle move to the outside and the colder folks take a turn in the center.1．What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A．The food chain in the Antarctic ecosystem.B．The distribution of the Antarctic vegetation.C．Many kinds of Antarctic animals.D．The diversity of the Antarctic plants and animals.答案：A 段意理解题。

Pets can rest on soft rugs(小地毯),watch television and get to know some new friends while their masters have fun in the city.The American Dog and Cat Hotel opened officially on a Wednesday in March. There is everything a pet could want-and more.“We hear time and time again. ‘This is so nice , I’ d like to stay here.’” the hotel manager said in an interview. He believed that people would want for their pets what they wanted for themselves.Kennels (狗舍)have been around for a long time, but nowadays masters want to put their loved pets in some better places, he added.He said the cats and dogs like to watch images(图象)on TV although they may not understand them. Anyway, they don’t have to know Britney Spears or Emimem to enjoy the pop music. Also, “The dogs don’t know it is a rug, but they know it is soft, ” he said.Pet masters can book a dog suite(套房)for $79 a night. Baths and other services are also offered.The pet hotel manager believes that all the animal lovers in the world will love this great idea.36．By “—and more” in the last sentence of the 2nd paragraph the writer means that _______.A．there’re also things for the pet masters B．some of the things are unnecessaryC．there’re things a pet cannot fully enjoy D．all the things are plenty in amount 37．Who made the expression that “This is so nice, I’d like to stay here.”?A．Some pets B．Some pet mastersC．The hotel manager D．The interviewer38．In the pet masters’ opinion, the kennels are _________.A．too old to live in B．not good enoughC．just an equal choice D．no longer in existence39．The underlined paragraph suggests that _________.A．some pets know some pop stars B．”rug” is a difficult word for a pet to learn C．pets enjoy things the same way humans do D．pets enjoy things at a sensational levelBA few days ago, he was just Colonel（上校）Yang; few people knew his name or recognized his face. But last Thursday, when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space, Yang Liwei’s smile was seen across the world above the magic words: “China’s first spaceman”.The 38-year-old astronaut was sent into space at 9 a.m. last Wednesday by China’s Shenzhou V spacecraft, which orbited the earth 14 times. He landed safely at 6:23 a.m. the next day, making China the third country to successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the US.Yang was satisfied with his job. “I have seen many landing scenes before on video, and I think ours was one of the most successful,” he said on a special plane to Beijing after landing.Born into an ordinary family in Liaoning Province, he became a pilot in the Chinese Air Force in 1987, spending 1,350 hours in the air. He joined the Chinese space programme 11 years later.While in space, Yang recorded everything he saw as well as showing China’s national flag and the United Nation’s flag to the people watching on TV at home. He also ate a meal of diced chicken and fried rice, before taking a 3-hour nap. The whole project went according to plan, but space exploration is not as easy as it seems. Anyone who saw the destruction of the US space shuttle Columbia in February this year will know that Yang took a great risk.He experienced extremely high temperatures, while the gravitational forces（重力）on takeoff and landing were strong enough to force tears from his eyes. He has spent five years training to become a spaceman. “I eat all of my meals at the space programme’s dining room andhave never been able to take my son to kindergarten,” he said. “I’ve never met his teachers.” But becoming China’s first spaceman has made all the effort worthwhile.“When I boarded the spacecraft for the first time, I couldn’t help feeling excited”, he said. “I decided that I had to fly it.”To Chinese people, Yang is now a hero. One visitor to a Xinhua News Agency Online Forum（新华社网上论坛）said: “Yang’s trip is a giant leap forward for China.” Officials say the next Shenzhou will be launched by 2005. China also plans to develop space walking and a space lab.（From 21st Century, China Daily）40．How long did each of Yang’s orbits take on average?A．1 hour B．1.5 hoursC．6 hours D．14 hours41．Why did the writer mention the gravitational forces on takeoff and landing?A．Because it was the most dangerous part of the flight.B．Because it was a very special experience.C．To show how much training he had for the flight.D．To show that Yang is brave.42．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The space flight showed China did better in space exploration than the US.B．It is reported that Yang Liwei will do a space walk in the year 2005.C．It is impossible for Yang Liwei to walk around in his first space exploration.D．At the age of 28, Mr. Yang Liwei became a pilot in the Chinese Air Force.43．What is the main idea of the story?A．China’s first manned space flight.B．A hero with great courage.C．The first Chinese man in space.D．How Yang Liwei became China’s first spaceman.CA story from the Bible tells of old Babylon, where the men decided to build a tower that would touch the sky. But God was unhappy, and he made them speak different languages. They couldn’t understand each other, so their dream never came true.Yet the dream remains alive: if all men speak the same language, they can do anything. L.L. Zamenhof from Poland was among the men who pursue this dream. He developed Esperanto（世界语）between 1877 and 1885.As the most successful man-made world language, it is spoken by over two million people around the world. Last month, the World Esperanto Congress（大会）,dealing with language rights, ended in Sweden. The 2004 conference will be held in Beijing. Most Esperanto speakers are in Central and Eastern Europe and in East Asia, particularly Chinese mainland.Esperanto has two advantages. First, it’s easy. Each letter has exactly one sound and there are just 16 basic grammar rules. The second advantage is that it belongs to no one country. But Esperanto has only reached a small number of people compared with natural languages widely used around the world-such as English or Chinese. While these languages are deeply connected with their nations and cultures, Esperanto doesn’t have this background.Will Esperanto really become a global language?

British scientists said last Wednesday humans may have underestimated（低估）the wooly creatures. They could be much smarter than we think.Researchers at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, southern England, have shown that the animals have a good memory system and are extremely good at recognizing faces-which they think is a sure sign of intelligence (cleverness).Behavioral（行为的）scientist Keith Kendrick and his friends trained 20 sheep to recognize and distinguish（区别）25 pairs of sheep faces and used electrodes（电极）to measure their brain activity, which showed they could remember 50 faces for up to two years.“If they can do that with faces, the fact is that they have to have reasonable intelligence; otherwise, what is the point of having a system for remembering faces and not remembering anything else,” Kendrick said in an interview.So hours of seemingly mindless eating grass may not be so mindless after all.Kendrick believes sheep got their reputation（名声）as dumb(unable to speak) animals because they live in large groups and do not appear to tend about everything.“All animals including humans, once they are frightened, don’t tend to show signs of intelligent action,” he explained.In research reported in the science journal Nature, Kendrick and his team showed that sheep, like humans, have a specialized system in the brain which allows them to distinguish between many different faces which look extremely similar.“The most important finding(of the study) is that they are able, both from a behavioral p oint of view and from looking at the way the brain is organized, to remember a large number of faces of individual（个体）for a very long time.” Said Kendrick. “It is a very strange system. They are showing similar abilities in many ways to humans.”48．From what Kendrick said in the interview we learn that scientists .A．have learned a lot about sheep’s intelligenceB．have learned little about sheep’s intelligenceC．can’t do anything more about sheep’s memoryD．don’t have to research animals’ mem ory49．As is shown in the passage, .A．sheep are among the weak animalsB．it is not right for people to raise sheep in groupsC．when sheep eat grass in the fields, their minds may be activeD．if people feel frightened, sheep may become more brave50．When scientists found that sheep show similar abilities in many ways to humans they may think it .A．worrying B．moving C．frightening D．interesting51．If this passage comes from a newspaper, in which page may it be?A．Culture. B．Education. C．Science.

Painkillers in a tablet can make your headache go away. Antibiotic cream from a tube can prevent your cuts from becoming infected. But can medicine come packaged in chicken eggs?A team of scientists from Scotland says yes. They’ve engineered special chickens that lay eggs with disease-treating drugs inside.These drugs are made of molecules called proteins. Animals make thousands of proteins —they’re the main ingredient (成分) in skin, hair, milk, and meat. Since animals can make proteins easily, they’re good candidates for making protein drugs.Researchers have already made cows, sheep, and goats that pump out protein drugs in their milk. But chickens are cheaper to take care of, need less room, and grow faster than these other animals. Those qualities could make chickens a better choice to become living drug factories, says Simon Lillico of the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland.Lillico and a team of researchers changed chickens’ DNA — the code that tells cells how to make proteins —so that the birds’ cells made two protein drugs. One drug can treat skin cancer, and the other treats a nerve disease called multiple sclerosis.The scientists altered the chickens’ DNA so that the birds made these drugs only in their egg whites. This protects the chickens’ bodies from the drugs’ possible harmful effects and makes it easy for scientists to collect the drugs.These special chickens can pass on their drug-laying abilities to their chicks. So far, the Scottish researchers have bred five generations of drug-producing birds.The scientists nee d to improve these chickens before they roost in drug companies’ labs. The birds don’t make enough drugs to treat people yet. But once the researchers perfect their technique, you might eventually take your medicine sunny-side up.36. Traditionally, medicine comes packaged except _______.A. in a tabletB. in a bottleC. in a chicken eggD. in a tube37. Which of the following is not the reason why researchers have chosen chickens as drug producers? A. People can save money by doing that.B. Chickens are strong enough to produce drugs.C. Chickens can be raised in a shorter period of time.D. Chickens take up less room.38. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The two new protein drugs can cure cancers and nerve diseases.B. In the future, some chicks may be born as drug producers.C. Cows, sheep and goats will not pump out drugs in their milk in the future.D. It’s harmful to change the chickens’ DNA.39. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Chickens are a better choice to become drug factories.B. How to raise the chickens that lay eggs with drugs inside.C. The chickens will make drugs in their whole eggs in the future.D. The importance of the technique of changing animals’ DNA.（B）Finding acceptance is a natural desire of most people. When we are young, it is important for us to be accepted by a group and to be seen as “cool” by our friends and classmates. To do this, we will often take up the views and interests of the group rather than develop our own.Over time, however, we have the opportunity to learn to accept ourselves. People who have done this are confident in their true abilities; they do not feel the need to create a facade to impress other people. They are concerned with whether their actions produce worthwhile results rather than with how they are seen by others.Less secure （有把握的）people are quite different. Instead of finding security in themselves, they look for other people to provide it. This kind of person constantly agrees with everything others suggest, for fear of having their own ideas rejected. Secure people do not give up when faced with a difficult situation; they say “I can” rather than “I can’t”. Knowing that each day is an opportunity to use their talents to acquire good health, good friendships, and great happiness, they always do their best.Recognizing the details that we cannot change about ourselves is also a sign of personal growth. We cannot change our height, so why waste energy complaining about being short? Our energy would be better spent on more constructive projects. Instead of thinking about personal characteristics we are not satisfied with, we ought to focus more on what we are good at. Such expressions as “love yourself” are about self-acceptance and confidence, as well as honesty and morality. We should consider them to be good advice, and treat them as signposts showing the way to happiness within.40. The purpose of the author is to tell us _______.A. the differences between secure and less secure peopleB. the importance of accepting ourselvesC. how to find happiness withinD. how to become secure people41. Less secure people are more likely to find a sense of security by _______.A. seeking agreement from othersB. giving themselves up to othersC. finding fault with othersD. changing themselves42. Which of the following is a typical way of doing things of secure people?A. Asking others for advice before taking action.B. Putting the interests of others above their own.C. Being focused on people’s disadvantages.D. Devoting their energy to more constructive projects.43. The underlined word “facade” in the second paragraph probably refers to _______.A. a kind of behavior to hide one’s true feelingsB. a polite way to please othersC. a special measure to attract othersD. a light atmosphere in which both sides feel at ease学习反思综合能力测试2备课人：马冬梅备课时间：09-11-2 授课时间：09-11-学习目标：检验学生综合能力知识与技能：检测学生综合阅读能力过程与方法：定时训练情感态度于价值观：培养学生热爱读书，以读书为乐知识链接：以前的相关阅读知识学法指导：怎样作到有效阅读学习过程 CThe head is thought to be the most important part of the human body, so a leader is often compared to a head. Thus we have Head of State or the head of a delegation（代表团）. The head is where the brain is located. It is naturally connected with ideas and intelligence. Very often, we need other people’s ideas and opinions when we want to do something well. That’s because two heads are better than one.The eyes are extremely precious to us. That is why we say “Mind your eye!” when we ar e reminding someone to be careful. Not only human beings and animals have eyes, many things also have “eyes” — the eye of a ship, the eye of a needle, the eye of a typhoon, and so on.The ear is the organ of hearing. A piece of light music is easy on the ear. We are usually all ears for a bit of news. When they think somebody is overhearing, English people use either of the two proverbs: “Walls have ears.”and “Pitchers （水壶）have ears.”They also think that little pitchers have big ears. Nice boys and girls respect other people. They will not secretly listen to others’ private conversations.The English phrase “face to face”and its Chinese counterpart（对应语）are exactly the same. But English people, to express the same idea, can say “nose to nose”instead. The word “nose”appears in many idioms. Here are two which are quite similar to their Chinese equivalents: “Lead somebody by the nose.” and “Turn up one’s nose at somebody or something.” English people can say “as plain as the nose in one’s face” to mean “very obvious”. Maybe to them, the nose is the most conspicuous part of the face.44. The underlined word in the last sentence of the passage probably means “_____”.A. importantB. sensitiveC. obviousD. precious45. Why do you think a leader is often compared to a head?A. Because the head is the most obvious part of the body.B. Because people think the head is the most important part of the human body.C. Because the head means ideas and opinions.D. Because the head is where the brain is located.46. Which of the following doesn’t have the similar meaning to their Chinese equivalent?A. Face to face.B. Lead somebody by the nose.C. Turn up one’s nose at somebody or something.D. As plain as the nose in one’s face.47. Which of the following idioms has the correct explanation?A. Be all ears. →悦耳动听。

BWhen parents consider what school to send their child to，they often first decide whether they should send their child to a coeducational school or to a singlesex one.Coeducation is a modern concept and was first introduced in Switzerland.Now it has become popular almost everywhere in the world.The supporters of coeducation favor it mainly on three grounds.The economic benefits gained from joint classes and the need to secure equality for women haveinfluenced the spread of coeducation.Moreover ，it creates a spirit of competition in studies.Those who oppose say that boys and girls are different physically，emotionally and mentally.They have to play different roles in life.Again，the presence of opposite sex is likely to distract the attention.Sin glesex education is the practice of conducting education where boys and girls attend separate classes or in separate buildings or schools.The practice was popular before the midtwentieth century.It is often advocated on the basis of tradition，as well as religious values.It is practiced in many parts of the world.There is plenty of proof for the positive effects of girls for study in maths and science.There is also proof that girls benefit their leadership and creative skill development.Studies found that boys can also benefit from a singlesex environment.They develop emotionally and become more cooperative.Teachers at singlesex schools also understand better how their students learn.They adapt their teaching styles to those specific needs.When making the decision of sending your child to a school，consider the reputation of the school，the activities it offers and the quality of education.In fact，whether or not it is coeducational should be last on your list of consideration.5．Coeducation means the education of________.A．singlesex students in the same schoolsB．the same student learning in different schoolsC．boys and girls in the same schoolsD．students cooperating with each other in schools答案：C 细节理解题。
