2020年秋高一新牛津译林版必修一第二单元综合测评（注：本试卷满分120分，考试时间100分钟）一、阅读理解（每题2.5分，共40分）ARegarded as one of the English language’s most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy (哲学). Although Keats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a priv ate school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized (批评) by a magazine. However, the negative response didn’t stop his love of rhythm (韵律).John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based (叙事体的) and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.1.

Or are they more likely to have escaped school at the first opportunity and worked their way up to make their fortunes?A study of the education al background of some of the world’s wealthiest people shows that they are much more likely to have gone to university, and they are more likely to have a postgraduate degree(硕士或博士研究生学位) than no degree at all.It doesn’t give much support for the image of self-taught entrepreneurs (企业家), who rely on their own wisdom rather than higher education.The study, by insurance company GoCompare, examined the educational background of people appearing in the top 1 00 billionaire lists by Forbes magazine over the past 20 years.It shows that 76 percent of these billionaires have a degree. Forty-seven percent of them have a bachelor’s (学士) degree, 23 percent a master’s (文/理科硕士) degree and 6 percent a doctorate(博士学位). The most popular subjects were the ones related to economics and engineering. There were many more studying sciences than arts.The school attended by the global super rich are also much more likely to be world-class universities, rather than local ones. Harvard University is the single most likely name to be found on the resume(履历) of a billionaire, though one of the most famous names on the rich list, Bill Gates, dropped out of Harvard before finishing.Stanford University in California and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have become the launchpads for a rising number of tech billionaires. Google’s co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin were both postgraduates at Stanford. Borthers Charles and David Koch, who are among the world’s biggest oil tycoons, both got their bachelor’s and master’s degrees from MIT.Among U.K. universities, the London School of Economics and Political Science and the University of Cambridge have the most multi-billionaires on the Forbes list, while Oxford has produced Rupert Murdoch.5. The study has found all of the following EXCEPT .A. most billionaires are not self-taught geniusesB. billionaires are much more likely to have received higher educationC. nearly half of those on Forbes’ top 100 billionaire lists have a bachelor’s degreeD. there are more billionair es without degree at all than those with a master’s degree6. Of the following subjects, what is the most likely to have been a college major of a billionaire?A. Computer science.B. Art history.C. English literature.D. Law.7. What does the underlined word “launchpads” in Paragraph 7 mean?A. Favorite places of famous people.B. Effective starting points for a career.C.

The study was carried out by Forbes magazine.B. A high percentage of the world’s richest people have a doctorate.C. Rupert Murdoch went to the London School of Economics and Political Science.D. Harvard University has produced more billionaires on the Forbes list than any otheruniversity.CMusic is often thought of as “easy” or “play time”,but it's not that at all.Music plays a very important part in our education.Students who learn music learn a lot of music history at school.This includes “modes（调式）”,which were used in churches during the development of music.They are still used today.Students learn about the historical events that were taking place when the music they play was written.They learn what the music was used for.So much of ourculture is in music and has been for centuries.Music also helps with science.Students use science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn't.Students also need science to understand something called the “overtone series”,which is about how music is produced by vibration（颤动）and why.Students learn a lot about languages.Many songs are written in other languages,including ancient ones.Students must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about.Some songs are famous poems or short works set to music.Students learn a huge amount of coordination（协调）through music,so parts of the body can work better together.Students must use fine motor skills in order to play an instrument.Singers and players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play.Students learn about art.Some famous pieces were written about important works of art,and students learn about the artists and styles as they're playing the music.Music education also brings higher thinking to our children.It allows them to think about complex patterns (How can I make my part sound better?How do this music and these different parts fit together?).Students have to know absolutely what every other musician does at all times.In that way,it develops teamwork.As one can see,music is very important to education besides bringing us fun.9.Learning music is helpful to the following subjects EXCEPT________.A.sciencenguageC.politicsD.history10.Students who learn music have to translate songs________.A.because they are learning the languageB.because they must understand what they are singing aboutC.because the songs are ancient onesD.because they are famous poems11.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Modes are still used in modern music.B.Different kinds of music show different cultures.C.It's easier for athletes to learn to play an instrument.D.A good musician should know the importance of teamwork.12.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The importance of music.B.The importance of music education.C.Ways to learn music well.D.Skills music students should have.DAs a Fulbright（富布莱特法案基金）scholar at Yale, I wanted very much to get some individual help from some famous professors, but their office-hours were only once a week and there were always students waiting outside. At first, I was too polite to get their help. Then I realized that Chinese politeness does not work in this society. I needed to be aggressive to get what I wanted. I also noticed that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.I was impressed by the role o f the professor in the class. The professor didn’t act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a researcher looking for answers to questions together with the students. One linguistic feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal verbs-far more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he usually said: “this is my personal opinion and it could be wrong. It would be a good idea if you could read the book I mentioned the other day.” Or,“ You may find the book I recommended helpful.” Or,“You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting.” When making comments on students’ performances, the professor usually said:” It might have been much clearer if you had taken in some of the ideas we discusse d earlier this semester.”In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions. Therefore students always expect the professor to give an answer to the question. I still remember how annoyed they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher than those of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sure about it. That is why they make far more certain statement than American students. That is why Chinese students find it difficult to use modal verbs because the function of modal verbs is to provide room for negotiation and different ideas.13. The American professors use many modal verbs because they want to______.A. argue with their studentsB. be more sure about their answersC. express their ideas more clearlyD. develop their students’ own way of thinking14. Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s idea?A. Chinese professors can always give correct answer to the question.B. American professors are not responsible since they don’t give students answers.C. American education produces aggressive students.D. Education in China is not helpful in developing students’ creativity.15. Which of the following methods did the author mainly employ in developing the article?A. Comparison and contrast.B. Cause and effect.C. Giving examples.D. Description.16. What is the author’s attitude towards education in U.S.?A. PositiveB. NegativeC. NeutralD. Unsure二、完形填空（每小题1.5分，共30分）Are you a man or a mouse?
