最新教学资料·外研版英语模块综合测评(二)Modules 3~4Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AThe opera house in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one of the most beautiful opera houses in the United States.It is small and open, with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience.This opera house in the mountain is one of the best opera houses in the country, which may seem surprising because performances are only given during seven weeks in the summer, and because Santa Fe is a very small city.One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent young singers.They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday, and they work hard to become wellknown during the summer.The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras (管弦乐队) and operas in the country during their vacations.They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe, which is near both the mountains and the desert.It is very beautiful there in summer.The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country, and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera.Still, most of the audience do come from Santa Fe and other nearby cities,and all the seats in the theater are sold for every show.There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera, and that is the cold weather.Because the theater is open, performances cannot start before it gets dark at nine o'clock in the evening, and then the mountain air becomes very cool.Sometimes people complain about the cold air, but because the operas are good, these people come back again wearing warm coats.1.This passage mainly introduces .A.a mountain city B.young musiciansC.an opera house D.the tourists in Santa Fe【解析】主旨大意题。

D.An announcement.BI once saw a TV programme at college about a scientist who used“ driftbottles (漂流瓶 ) ”to mark ocean currents. It was a rather boring programme. Iwas more interested to read an article about someone who found a bottle on abeach with a message inside. Like the drift bottles, it had been thrown into thesea— but 21 years before. I decided to find out more about such bottles, and Istarted work on this intriguing ( 非常有趣的 ) research.An early message in a bottle was thrown into the sea by Christopher Columbusduring a terrible storm. He wrote about his discovery of America and expected thathis message would be sent to the Queen of Spain. He wanted the news to reach her,but he thought he might be drowned 淹(死 ) in the storm. In fact, he survived but thebottle was never found.I would be excited to find a message in a bottle, but in the 16th century, it couldbe dangerous. In those days, the British Navy海(军 ) used messages in bottles tosend information about the enemy. When Queen ElizabethⅠ found out that aboatman had opened a bottle containing one of these secret messages, she createda new job, Uncorker of Ocean Bottles. I was amazed to learn that anyone else who opened a bottle could be sentenced to death. It seems very strange to us now.A long time ago, before dating websites existed to help people find partners, asailor in Sweden put this message in a bottle—“ To someone beautiful and far away. ” It was found by a young woman in Sicily. She answered the message—“ I am notbeautiful, but it seems a miracle 奇(迹 ) I found your message. They”began to write letters to each other, and eventually got married.Nowadays it's easy to communicate with anyone anywhere in the world, but I think people will still go on throwing bottles with messages into the ocean and guessing where the winds and the waves will carry them. And how romantic it would be to find a bottle with a message inside!24.Why did the author do some research on bottles thrown into the sea?A. He had found a message in one.B. He had read an article about one.C. He had to do a project on them at college.D. He had watched a TV programme about them.25.Christopher Columbus put a message into a bottle to .26.How did the author feel about the 16th century punishment for opening ocean bottles?A. Frightening.B. Amusing.C.Astonishing. D.Satisfying.27.Why did the young woman in Sicily reply to the Swedish sailor's message?A. She wanted to have a pen friend.B. She felt she fitted his description.C. She failed to access a dating website.D. She was impressed by the bottle's journey.CGene Wolfe is one of the most admired and respected American science fiction and fantasy writers. He is also a productive writer of outstanding short fiction, whichis collected in many volumes over the last forty years, most recently inThe Best ofGene Wolfe.Although Wolfe is not as well-known to readers as he once was, he has been thereceiver of great praise, including three World Fantasy Awards, two Nebulas, andeight Hugo Award nominations (提名 ). Sci-fi author Harlan Ellison has calledhim, “ no less than one of the finest, most original writers in the world today”the Encyclopedia of Science Fictionnames him “ quite possibly the most important”writer in the field of science fiction.Born in 1931, New York, Gene Wolfe moved frequently as a child, but spentmost of his growing-up years in Texas. Wolfe began writing fiction in 1956, sellinghis first story,The Dead Man, to Sir magazine in 1965. He produced a vast amount ofshort fiction during the 1960s and 1970s, many of which were published in DamonKnight's Orbit anthologies. In 1972 Wolfe's groundbreakingThe Fifth Head ofCerberus appeared. The story of human conquest(征服 ) upon two distant planets,the book examines issues of identity, individuality, and the results of colonialismupon both the colonized and the colonizer. The novel was later listed in DavidPringle's 1985 list of The 100 Best Novels in science fiction for the period1949― 1984.Many of his novels, The Shadow of the Torturerincluded, rely on a diary orletter to tell his story. In addition, Wolfe's early interest in mystery novels shinesthrough in his ability to drop cleverly hidden clues (线索 ) that allow the reader tograsp at the possible narrative behind the narrative.By 1984 Wolfe was able to retire and devote himself full-time to his writing. Yetdespite (尽管 ) all this, and despite the continuing respect of his colleagues, his workhas become somewhat unfamiliar. Wolfe's admirers hope this fact will be at leastsomewhat improved by his most recent offering,The Wizard Knight, which fallswithin the fantasy type that is currently popular.28. What is Harlan Ellison's attitude toward Gene Wolfe?A. Concerned.B. Sympathetic.C.Admiring.D.Regretful.29.What do we know aboutThe Fifth Head of Cerberus?A. It was well received.B. It was Gene Wolfe's first novel.30.Which has great influence on Gene Wolfe's writing style?A. His understanding of life.B. His childhood experiences.C. His colleagues' suggestions.D. His love for mystery fiction.31.What can we infer about Gene Wolfe from the last paragraph?A. His work has become less popular.B. He became famous forThe Wizard Knight.C.His fans were disappointed to some degree. D.He stopped fantasy writing after his retirement.The word or phrase that you use to open your email account may provide akey to your personality as well as to your correspondence信(件 ), according to aBritish psychologist. Helen Petrie, professor of human / computer interaction交(互作用) at City, University in London, analysed the responses of 1,200 Britons whoparticipated in a survey funded 提(供资金 ) by CentralNic, an Internet domainname company. The results were recently published on CentralNic's website.Petrie identifies three main password“ types” .“ Family oriented” respondenumbered nearly half of those surveyed. These people use their own name ornickname, the name of a child, partner, or pet or a birth date as their password. Theytend to be occasional computer users and have strong family ties.“ They choose passwords that symbolize people or events with emotional value,” says Petrie. Onethird of respondents were“ fans” , using the names of athletes, singers, movie stars,fictional characters, or sports teams. Petrie says fans are young and want to attachthemselves to the lifestyle represented by a celebrity. Two of the most popularnames were Madonna and Homer Simpson. The third main group of participants are“ cryptics ” because they pick confusing passwords or a random随机的 () string ofletters, numbers, and symbols such as“ Jxa+157 ” . Petrie says cryptics are the mostsecurity-conscious group. They tend to make the safest but least interesting choices.Passwords are revealing for two reasons. First, because they are invented on thespot. “ Since you are focused on getting into a system, for example your email account,you're likely to write down something that comes quickly to mind,” says Petrie.this sense passwords take advantage of things that are just below the surface of consciousness. Also, to remember your password, you pick something that willstick in your mind. You may unconsciously choose something of particularemotional importance. ”32.How did Petrie draw her conclusions?A. By observing participants' reactions.B.By interviewing 1,200 people.C. By studying survey results.D. By doing an experiment.33. What do we know about people whose passwords are“ family oriented”?A. They probably have large families.B. They are likely to be animal lovers.C. They tend to be social and emotional.D. They are probably infrequent computer users.34. What does Petrie say about the“ cryptic” group?A. They have strong safety awareness.B. They lack imagination and creativity.35.Why can passwords reveal our personalities?A. We choose words we will easily remember.B. We are willing to invent something personal.C. We are likely to value important experiences.D. We pick up a password after careful consideration.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。

She talked back to teachers, and she was bored with school. In high school Lee was lucky enough to have a gifted English teacher, Gladys Watson Burkett, who made her fall in love with literature and taught her h ow to write well. There Lee loved nineteenthcentury British authors best, and once said that her dream was to become “the Jane Austen of South Alabama”.After leaving high school, she went to the University of Alabama. There she found a second home on the campus newspaper. Eventually she became editorinchief of the Rammer Jammer, a quarterly humor magazine on campus. She entered the law school, but she loathed it. Despite her father's hope that she would become a local attorney (律师) like her sister Alice, Lee went to New York for her writing.She spent eight years working small jobs before she finally showed a manuscript (手稿) to Tay Hohoff, an editor at J.B. Lippincott. At this point, it was more like a string of stories than the novel that Lee wanted to write. Under Hohoff's guidance, two and a half years of rewriting followed. Finally the novel was ready for publication.To Kill a Mockingbird was published in 1960 to highly favorable reviews and quickly climbed the bestseller lists, where it remained for eightyeight weeks. In 1961, the novel won the Pulitzer Prize. To Kill a Mockingbird has sold more than thirty million copies in eighteen languages. In 2011, President Obama awarded Nelle Harper Lee the National Medal of Arts.4.When Nelle Harper Lee was a little girl, she ________.A.loved reading very muchB.was loved by all her teachersC.read some of Jane Austen's novelsD.was naughty and liked breaking rules5.What kind of role did Gladys Watson Burkett play in Nelle Harper Lee's life?A.She recommended her to some living authors.B.She made her become a popular girl.C.She inspired her to write her novel.D.She introduced her to literature.6.What does the underlined wo rd “loathed” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Reduced. B.Disliked.C.Developed. D.Considered.7.How did Tay Hohoff react after reading Nelle Harper Lee's manuscript?A.She made fun of it.B.She guided her to improve it.C.She refused to help publish it.D.She was extremely excited about it.CWhat is poetry? We usually don't think much about this question. If we do, we're probably tempted to think that poetry is simply a series of rhyming lines which describe a thing or an experience. But if it was as simple as that, why would we need poetry at all?One explanation of poetry I like is that poetry communicates the essence (本质) or the soul of something, instead of just describing it. For example, imagine describing a playground swing to someone: what it looks like and how it feels to swing backwards and forwards. The person you're talking to would probably understand, but would he or she really get a sense of the excitement and freedom a child feels on a swing?Now, take a moment to read Robert Louis Stevenson's short poem The Swing.How do you like to go up in a swing.Up in the air so blue?Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thingEver a child can do!Up in the air and over the wall,Till I can see so wide,River and trees and cattle and allOver the countrysideTill I look down on the garden green,Down on the roof so brown,Up in the air I go flying again,Up in the air and down!The poem communicates so much more than any mere description could: the joy, the wonder, and the fun a child feels when he or she swings high up into the air.Another way to explain it is to say that a poet uses language techniques to create visual images that come alive in the mind of readers or listeners. As the images come alive, the readers or listeners become part of the experience being described: they are there, at least in their imagination. And because they are there, even for a very short time, their emotions are also engaged. They feel frightened or excited, filled with awe or sadness. Pretty amazing, really.8.In Paragraph 1, the author shows that poetry ________.A.is attractive to everyone who loves readingB.isn't very different from other forms of writingC.mainly tells about an experience of a poetD.is about more than just describing something9.What is the explanation of poetry that the author likes?A.It truly helps the reader feel excited and free.B.It shows the essence or the soul of something.C.It describes something to people in a better way.D.It makes something simple sound more beautiful.10.What does the poem written by Robert Louis Stevenson mainly show?A.Things people can see on a swing.B.The simple excitement of children.C.The excitement of living in the countryside.D.The joyful experience of a child on a swing.11.The purpose of the text is to ________.A.tell readers how to write poemsB.recommend a beautiful poemC.help readers better understand poetryD.explain why poetry is worth readingDIf you're like me, you know that multitasking does not always save time. You slow down or make mistakes that require fixing. But_maybe_I'm_just_doing_the_wrong_things. Because a new study shows that people on a stationary bike pedaled faster when they took part in some sort of mental test at the same time.Even the researchers were surprised by that result. They originally set out to prove what other studies showed: when people try to do two things at one time, they do both more poorly. Their finding is in the journal PLOS ONE.In the experiment, subjects were asked to complete various cognitive (认知的) jobs that ranged in difficulty —everything from saying “go” when they saw a blue star on a projection screen to remembering a long list of numbers and then repeating them in reverse order. They did these tasks once while sitting in a quiet room and again while on the bike.It turns out that cyclists rode 25 percent faster when they were distracted by some mental gymnastics. But only when the tasks were relatively easy. When confronted with tough brainteasers, their cycling speeds were about the same as when they had nothing in particular to think about. The participants' cycling neither helped nor prevented their brain function.The findings could point toward new programs in which we get better workouts simply by using our head. So next time you're pedaling or taking part in other kinds of workouts, try doing something else at the same time. You may not only be able to exercise more efficiently but also enjoy your time better.12.What is implied in the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?A.Multitasking is popular with a lot of people.B.Multitasking does not help people save time at all.C.Multitasking often leads to mistakes that require fixing.D.Multitasking doesn't necessarily mean poorer performance.13.During the experiment, participants ________.A.did cognitive tasks of different difficulty levelsB.repeated more numbers when cycling fasterC.cycled more slowly when repeating numbersD.did the tasks several times14.Which of the following is TRUE according to the study?A.Cycling helps one's brain function better.B.Cycling doesn't lead to poorer brain function.C.One cannot cycle fast when he/she is distracted.D.The harder one thinks, the faster he/she cycles.15.What is the main idea of the text?A.Researchers find something surprising.B.Multitasking can help us work out better.C.Cognitive jobs benefit us in various ways.D.People like cycling and thinking at one time.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(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。

There she found a second home on the campus newspaper. Eventually she became editorinchief of the Rammer Jammer, a quarterly humor magazine on campus. She entered the law school, but she loathed it. Despite her father's hope that she would become a local attorney (律师) like her sister Alice, Lee went to New York for her writing.
She spent eight years working small jobs before she finally showed a manuscript (手稿) to Tay Hohoff, an editor at J.B. Lippincott. At this point, it was more like a string of stories than the novel that Lee wanted to write. Under Hohoff's guidance, two and a half years of rewriting followed. Finally the novel was ready for publication.
To Kill a Mockingbird was published in 1960 to highly favorable reviews and quickly climbed the bestseller lists, where it remained for eightyeight weeks. In 1961, the novel won the Pulitzer Prize. To Kill a Mockingbird has sold more than thirty million copies in eighteen languages. In 2011, President Obama awarded Nelle Harper Lee the National Medal of Arts.
