模块综合测评(一)
(时间：100分钟；满分120分)
Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
When I first moved to the US，it was very hard for me to understand a friendly chat or conversation.There were a lot of words that were quite unfamiliar to me.They were just common words，but the only difference was the actual meaning and their usage.We are used to different sets of words in other parts of the world due to British English influence.Though this has been changing a lot in recent times，I would like to share with you some of the common words used here and what I felt were different.It took me a while to catch up very basic words that Americans use in day­to­day conversations and I am still learning new words every day!
Usually in India，we say，“Can I get my stuff in a plastic cover？” Here in the US，people say，“Can I get a bag for the stuff？”
We are used to saying I am a non­vegetarian，but in the US，people might get lost.You have to say，“I eat meat or chicken.” When you go to a restaurant，if you are a vegetarian，you should say，“NO Meat or Chicke n”； otherwise，you may find interesting stuff as a vegetarian in your food.
Americans consider association football (英式足球) to be a kids' sport.People say soccer when they refer to actual football.In Europe and other parts of the world we call football，but here in the US they say it soccer.
Typically in the restaurant after you are done with a meal，you ask for a check not a bill in the US from the waiter.No one uses “lift” here; it is “elevator”．Any shop is called store.We often get confused when Americans us e “bike”．It means “bicycle”．If you want to take a bath，people say，“I need to take a shower.”
1．Which of the following groups of words is most likely to be said by an American?
A．Waiter，get my stuff in a plastic cover，please.
B．Is there anything wrong with the lift?
C．Would you like to watch the soccer match this afternoon?
D．It is so great to go traveling across the country on a bicycle!
【解析】细节理解题。

根据第四段中的“In Europe and other parts of the world we call football，but here in the US they say it soccer.”可知C项正确，其余三项均可在文中找到错误的依据。

【答案】 C
2．When you go to a restaurant in the US，which of the following sentences will be used?
A．If you don't eat meat，you will say “I am a vegetarian.”
B．If y ou are a non­vegetarian，you will say “I eat meat or chicken.”
C．If you are done with a meal，you will say “Could I have the bill，please？”
D．If you want interesting stuff as a vegetarian in your food，you will say “No Meat or Chicken.”
【解析】细节理解题。

根据文章第三段可知A、D两项错误，B项正确；根据第五段第一句可知C项错误。

【答案】 B
3．It can be inferred from the passage that ．
A．just common words are used in day­to­day conversations
B．English spoken in India is mostly influenced by British English C．British English is different from American English in all words
D．English in European countries is mostly influenced by American English 【解析】推理判断题。

根据第一段的“We are used to different sets of words in other parts of the world due to British English influence.”以及第二段中的“Usually in India，we say...”可以推断出印度人说的英语主要是受英式英语的影响。

【答案】 B
4．What's the author's purpose of writing this passage?
A．To share some of his funny experiences.
B．To tell us that language is always changing.
C．To tell us that English spreads widely in the world.
D．To introduce some differences between British English and American English.
【解析】写作意图题。

纵观全文，作者讲述自身的经历，目的是为了向我们介绍英式英语和美式英语之间的一些差异。

故选D。

【答案】 D
B
Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk.Gestures are the “silent language” of every culture.We point a finger or move another part of
the body to show what we want to say.It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.
In the United States，people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction.The handshake must be firm.If the handshake is weak，it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness.Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder.Some people，usually women，greet a friend with a hug.
Space is important to Americans.When two people talk to each other，they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle，so they are not facing each other directly.Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close.They will move back to have their space.If Americans touch another person by accident，they say，“Pardon me.” or “Excuse me.”
Americans like to look at the other person in the eyes when they are talking.If you don't do so，it means you are bored，hiding something，or are not interested.But when you stare at someone，it is not polite.
For Americans，thumbs­up means yes，very good，or well done.Thumbs­down means the opposite.To call a waiter，raise one hand to head level or above.To show you want the check，make a movement with your hands as if you are singing a piece of paper.It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger(食指)．Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.
Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing.If you don't know what to do，the safest thing to do is to smile.
5．From the first paragraph we can learn that ．
A．gestures don't mean anything while talking
B．gestures can help us to express ourselves
C．we can learn a language well without body language
D．only American people can use gestures
【解析】推理判断题。

从第一段首句“Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk.”可知，gesture language有自身的意义，能帮助我们的理解，只能选择B项。

【答案】 B
6．If you are introduced to a stranger from the USA，you should ．A．greet him with a hug
B．place a hand on his shoulder
C．shake his hand firmly
D．shake his hand weakly
【解析】推理判断题。

从第二段中“...people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction.The handshake must be firm.”可获知，初次见面的时候，应该紧紧地握手。

【答案】 C
7．In the United States，people often ．
A．show their friendship by touching each other
B．show their friendship by glancing at each other
C．say“Pardon me”to each other when they are talking
D．get uncomfortable when you sit close to them
【解析】细节理解题。

从三、四段可知，A、B、C三个选项本身就是错误的。

【答案】 D
8．If you talk with an American friend，it's polite to ．
A．look up and down at your friend
B．look at the other person in the eyes
C．hide your opinion
D．look at your watch now and then
【解析】细节理解题。

第四段的第一句“Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when they are talking.”可得知B项正确。

【答案】 B
C
In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!
Not all past predictions(预言) have been proven wrong.A few of them have been surprisingly accurate.Some great thinkers predicted the arrival of the credit card，the fax machine and even the Internet—years before they happened.But for each prediction that has come true，some others have missed by a mile.Many of these predictions didn't consider how people would want to use the technology or whether pe ople really needed these high­tech (高科技的) things in their lives or not.Let's look at some predictions from the not­too­distant past.
Robot helpers
Where's the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere，of course.And he's probably not coming anytime soon.Robots do exist today，but mostly in factories and other working
environments.
Back in the 1950s，however，people said that by now personal robots would be in most people's homes.
So why hasn't it happened? Maybe because robots are still too expensive and clumsy(笨拙的)．And probably the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too strange.At home we seem to be doing fine without them.
Telephones of tomorrow
In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone.They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes.But of course the idea hasn't caught on yet.
Why? The technology worked fine，but it overlooked something obvious：people desire for privacy.Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just stepped out of the shower? Probably not—it could be uncomfortable! Just because technology doesn't always mean people will want to use it.
And finally，how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It's not so crazy any more! But a flying car remains one of the most wonderful technology ideas to catch our imagination.Keep watching the news—or perhaps the sky outside your window—to see what the future will bring.
【语篇解读】本文介绍了几个没有实现的预言及其没有实现的原因。

9．According to the passage，which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Technology doesn't always mean people want to use it.
B．Predictions don't need to consider people's practical use of the technology.
C．Many of the high­tech things people thought we'd be using by now simply never appeared.
D．High­tech things are not always convenient to people's life.
【解析】正误判断题。

由第二段第四、五两句可知，不考虑人们实际需要的预言难以实现，故B项表述错误。

【答案】 B
10．The underlined phr ase “caught on” in Paragraph 6 probably means．A．become popular B．become enjoyable
C．come into sight D．come to life
【解析】词义猜测题。

上文介绍，过去一家美国公司预言在公元2000年大部分家庭将会使用可视电话；下一段解释了这个预言没能实现或者可视电话没有普及的原因。

由此可知，catch on的意思为“变得流行；普及”。

【答案】 A
11．What does the author think of the flying car?
A．It is too difficult to imagine.
B．It is too crazy to realise.
C．It is likely to appear in the future.
D．It has been the focus of the news.
【解析】推理判断题。

由最后一段可知，作者认为，“会飞的车”的想法不再疯狂，而且将来有一天会实现，故C项为正确答案。

【答案】 C
12．The passage mainly deals with ．
A．predictions that catch our imagination
B．predictions that haven't come true
C．new technology that can benefit our life
D．new technology that is in wide use
【解析】主旨大意题。

本文介绍了几个没有实现的预言，故B项正确。

【答案】 B
D
Companies like Google and are famous for their “work hard and play hard” attitudes and friendly work environments，but are their employees healthier too? According to a Tel Aviv University researcher，a positive relationship with your co­workers has long­term health benefits (益处)．Dr Sharon Toker says that employees who believe that they have the personal support of their co­workers are more likely to live a lo nger life.“We spend most of our waking hours on work，and we don't have much time to meet our friends during the weekdays，” explains Dr Toker.“The workplace should be where people can get necessary emotional support.”
Dr Toker and her colleagues Prof.Arie Shirom and Yasmin Alkaly，along with Orit Jacobson and Ran Balicer from Clalit Healthcare Services，followed the health records of 820 adults who worked an average of 8.8 hours a day through a two­decade period.Those who had reported having low social support at work were 2.4 times more likely to die sometime within those 20 years，says Dr Toker.
820 study participants were drawn from adults aged 25 to 65 who came into their local HMO office for a regular check­up.Researchers controlled various psychological，behavioral or physiological risk causes，such as smoking，fatness and unhappiness，and gave a questionnaire to participants，who were drawn from a
wide variety of professional fields.
Researchers asked about employees' relationships with their managers，and also judged the participants'evaluation (评价)of their co­workers' relationships at work，and whether their co­workers were friendly and approachable，which was a reflection (反映) of emotional and professional support.“During the course of the study，” says Dr Toker，“53 participants died，most of whom had small social connections with their co­workers.”A lack of emotional support at work led to a 140% increased risk of dying in the next twenty years compared to those who reported supportive co­workers，she concluded.
【语篇解读】一项研究表明：与同事友好相处能带来长远的健康益处。

13．How many scientists joined Dr Toker in the research?
A．Three. B．Four.
C．Five. D．Six.
【解析】细节理解题。

根据第二段“Dr Toker and her colleagues Prof.Arie Shirom and Yasmin Alkaly，along with Orit Jacobson and Ran Balicer from Clalit Healthcare Services，followed the health records of 820 adults who worked an average of 8.8 hours a day through a two­decade period.”可知，Toker博士和她的同事Arie Shirom 教授及Yasmin Alkaly教授联合了来自Clalit医疗服务中心的Orit Jacobson和Ran Balicer一同对820名成人的医疗记录进行了跟踪。

故可知有四位科学家加入了Toker博士的工作中。

【答案】 B
14．According to the passage，study participants might be of ．
A．different age and different professional fields
B．different age but the same professional field
C．the same age and the same professional field
D．the same age but different professional fields
【解析】推理判断题。

根据第三段“820 study participants were drawn from adults aged 25 to 65...who were drawn from a wide variety of professional fields.”可知，820位研究参与者分别从25岁到65岁不等，而且职业不同。

【答案】 A
15．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Why do people like to work for Google?
B．How do people get emotional support from co­workers?
C．People should spend less time on work to keep healthy.
D．Positive relationships with co­workers bring you long­term health benefits.
【解析】主旨大意题。

第一段“According to a Tel Aviv Unive rsity researcher，a positive relationship with your co­workers has long­term health benefits(益处)．”点明本文主旨，故可知答案为D。

【答案】 D
Ⅱ.阅读填句(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。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

16 They learn languages，history，geography，physics，chemistry and mathematics.Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living.School education is very important and useful.Yet no one can learn everything from school.
17 The teacher's job is to show his students how to learn.He teaches them how to read and how to think. 18
It is always more important to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula(公式)．It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in maths. 19 Great scientists，such as Einstein，Newton and Galileo didn't get everything from school.But they were all so successful.They invented so many things for mankind.The reason for their success is that they worked hard all their lives，wasting not a single moment.They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.

A．So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
B．A teacher，no matter how much he knows，can not teach his students everything they want to know.
C．Above all，they knew how to use their brains.

Dear Peter，
How are you getting on？I'm writing to tell you about the English corner held by our school English Club in our school hall last Saturday morning.
Last Saturday all the members of our school English Club took part in the English corner，where we designed imitative scenes of real life.We chose our roles we were going to play by picking up a note.All of us were asked to communicate with others only in English.Those who let slip Chinese got punished.Not only did we practice our oral English this time，but also we had a good time.It is really a good way to create an Englishspeaking environment for English learners.
Yours sincerely，
Wang Gang。
