His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.“J.C., ” he replied.She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at the age of 13.After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.“It was all right with me, ” he said years later.“I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.Owens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs.“Sure, it bothered me, ” he said later.“But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”In time, however, his gold medals changed his life.“They have kept me alive over the years, ”he once said.“Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”36.Owens got his other name “Jesse” when______.A. he went to Ohio State UniversityB. his teacher made fun of himC. his teacher took “J.C.” for “Jesse”D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet37.In the Big Ten meet, Owens______.A. hurt himself in the backB. succeeded in setting many recordsC. tried every sports event but failedD. had to give up some events38.We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because______.A.he was not of the right raceB. he was the son of a poor farmerC. he didn’t shake hands with HitlerD. he didn’t talk to the US president on the phone39.When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years”, he means that the medals______.A. have been changed for money to help him live onB. have made him famous in the USC. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in lifeD. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs40.What would be the best title for the text?A. Jesse Owens, A Great American AthleteB. Golden Moment—A Life-time StruggleC. Making A Living As A SportsmanD. How To Be A Successful AthleteBIt is natural for young people to blame their parents for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained(抱怨), more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they always want to control them; that they do not trust them to deal with problems; and that they have no sense ofhumor, at least in parent-child relationships.Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes, hairstyles, and music. Actually this is not what they really intend to do. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or clothes or hairstyles make their parent angry, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are better, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you do not obey orders, and are proud because you do not want your parents to say yes to what you do. If they do, it looks as if you are unfaithful to your own age group. But in that case, you will probably think that you are the underdog:you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parent’s control. If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can persuade others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. Get them to feel your sense of responsibility(责任) and initiative(进取心) so that they will allow you to do what you want to do.41.The first paragraph is mainly about ______.A. children’s complaints about their parentsB. misunderstandings between children and their parentsC. the control of the parents over their childrenD. children’s ability to deal with problems42. The underlined word “irritate” in this passage is closest in meaning to “______”.A. to make someone excitedB. to make someone angryC. to please someoneD. to comfort someone43. Children choose to have certain strange clothes and hairstyles because they ______.A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their ownB. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and tasteC. have no other way to enjoy themselves betterD. want to make their parents angry44. Children do not want their parents to say yes to whatever they do because they ______.A. have already been accepted into the adult worldB. feel that they are better in a small way than the adultsC. are not likely to win over the adultsD. have a desire to be independentCCentral ParkOutside among the trees, watch the wildlife—both the human and animal varieties.

Money is nothing, character, behavior and ability are everything. There would be great people and ordinary people and little people, but the great would always be those who had done great things, and never the fools whose mothers had cared for them too much and whose fathers had left them a hundred thousand dollars a year; and the little would be persons of small minds and mean characters, and not poor persons who had never had a chance. That is why fools are always in favor of inequality of income (their only chance of being well-known), and the really great in favor of equality.As for Americans, being hardworking, thrift (care in the use of money or goods), and ambition are positive (practical and constructive) values. They encourage their children to be competitive, to get ahead, to make money, to get possession. In games and in business alike, the aim is to win the game, the award, the contract (business agreement). They go in for labor-saving devices, new inventions, speed and shortcuts. They think every young people should set up a home of their own, and they pity the couple who must share their home with a parent, let alone with other relatives. Actually, of course, not all Americans hold all these values, and those who do may hold other, and at times contradictory(矛盾的), values that affect their ways of behaving. In the main, however, the collective expectation of their society is that these are desirable goals, and each person, whatever his personal opinion may be, is under considerable and similar pressure.48. It seems that the author looks down upon_________.A. the poorB. the greatC. the littleD. the ordinary people49. The author thinks thatA. poor people may succeed in society, given a chanceB. poor people never have a chance to succeed in societyC. the great always do great thingsD. if one’s parents leave one a lot of money, the person will become a fool50.The underlined sentence“character, behavior and ability are everything”means_______.A. money is nothingB. there is no difference between people of equal incomeC. the difference of achievement and value is the most importantD. every person has a chance to succeed, which depends on one’s character, behavior and ability51. To most Americans, it is a pity that_________.A. young couple live with their parents or relativesB. They leave their relatives aloneC. young couples lose their homesD. they do hard workEScientists have tried to come up with biological explanations for the difference between boys and girls.However,none were believable enough to explain the general picture.As one scientist points out,“There are slight genetic(遗传的)differences between the sexes at birth which may affect the subjects boys and girls choose.But the difficulty is that by the time children reach school age,there are so many other effects that it is almost impossible to tell whether girls are worse at science and maths,or whether they’ve been brought up to think of these subjects as boys territory.”Statistics(统计数据)show that in mathematics,at least,girls are equal to boys.A recent report suggests that girls only stop studying mathematics because of social attitudes.One of the reports’ authors says,“While it is socially unacceptable for people not to be able to read and write,it is still acceptable for women to say that they are ‘hopeless’ at maths.Our research shows that,although girls get marks which are as good as the boys,they have not been encouraged to do so.”The explanation for the difference,which is very clear during the teenage years,goes as far back as early childhood experiences.From their first days in nursery school,girls are not encouraged to work on their own or to complete tasks,although boys are.For example,boys not girls,are often asked to ‘help’ with repair work.This encouragement leads to a way of learning how to solve problems later on in life.Evidence(证据)shows that exceptional(例外的)mathematicians and scientists did not have teachers who supplied answers;they had to find out for themselves.A further report on maths teaching shows that teachers seem to give more attention to boys than to girls.Most teachers who took part in the study admitted that they expect their male students to do better at mathematics and science subjects than their female students.All of this tends to encourage boys to work harder in these subjects,gives them confidence(信心)and makes them believe that they can succeed.Interestingly,both boys and girls tend to regard such ‘male’ subjects like mathematics and science as difficult.Yet it has been suggested that girls avoid mathematics courses,not because they are difficult,but for social reasons.Mathematics and science are mainly male subjects,and therefore,as girls become teenagers,they are less likely to take them up.Girls do not seem to want to be in open competition with boys.Neither do they want to do better than boys because they are afraid to appear less females and so,less attractive.52.The underlined word “territory” in the second paragraph most probably means “______”.A.interestB.area of landC.special fieldD.district53.Those who made extraordinary contribution in mathematics and science ______.A. usually had good teachers to help themB. had the abilities to solve problems by themselvesC. usually worked harder than othersD. were encouraged to repair things when young54.Which of the following is not true according to the text?A. It seems socially acceptable for a girl not to be able to read and write.B. It is a social problem rather than a problem of brains that girls are poor at maths.C. Mathematics and science are not easy subjects to either girls or boys.D. There is no connection between a girl’s ability in maths and her appearance.55.What would be the best title for the text?A. Who’s afraid of Maths Anyway?B. Are Boys Cleverer than Girls?C. Boys Are Better at Maths than Girls by BirthD.

If you have the wish and really made a conscious(自觉的)effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I gotup and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.Memory “trick” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber(理发师)shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.We always seem to find something funny and amusing(有趣的)in incidents caused by people’s forgetfulness orabsent-mindedness.

This is what happened to Harry.He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock(闹钟). He tried to shave(刮脸)quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing(熨), so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter(表). He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he could n’t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi. When Harry’s taxi stopped outside his office, a policeman happened to be standing there. He saw the blood on Harry’s shirt, and took him to the police station. He was kept till 3 o’clock in the afternoon before the police were sure that he was not the man they wanted.

His boss told him to go away and find another job because .A. he had been kept by the policeB. there was blood on his shirtC. he was late for workD. he had killed a womanCAfter the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report. The damage and death toll (伤亡) could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.Injures and deaths were relatively less in Los Angles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years hav e strengthened the city’s buildings and highway s, making them more resistant (有抵抗力的) to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图的) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible (柔韧的) materials, such as steel and wood, which bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact (影响) of ground vibrations (颤动). The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports, called smart buildings, the structures respond li ke living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the buildings tip forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction. The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.11. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is that ____ .A. new computers had been installed in the buildingsB. occurred in the residential areas (居民区) rather than on the highwaysC. large numbers of Los Angeles residents hadrushed into Los Angeles for holidayD. improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways12. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ____ .A. counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the buildingB. predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC. help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD. measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations13. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ____ .A. would cause serious financial problemsB. would be worthwhile though costlyC. would increase the complexity of architectural designD. can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes14. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing (最小化) the damage caused by earthquakes attention should be focused on ____ .A. the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB. the development of flexible building materialsC. the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD. early forecasts of earthquakes15. The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to ____ .A. compare the results of the earthquakes that occurred in the USB. encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computersC. outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materialsD. report new developments in constructing quake-resistant building参考答案与解析(module 6)第一部分语法和词汇知识(每题1分,共15分)1.

However, merchants passed silk, gold, fruit, and glass along the Silk Road in more than one direction. They earned their living by traveling the famous Silk Road.The Silk Road was not a simple trading network. It passed through thousands of cities and towns. It started from eastern China, across Central Asia and the Middle East, and ended in the Mediterranean Sea. It was used from about 200 B. C. to about A. D. 1300, when sea travel offered new routes (路线), It was sometimes called the world’s longest highway. However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe.The Silk Road got its name from its most prized product. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or buy goods. But the traders carried more than just silk. Gold, silver, and glass from Europe were much found in the Middle East and Asia. Horses traded from other areas changed farming practices in China. Indian merchants traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese merchants traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft (嫁接) different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this science on to others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow the apple. Trading along the Silk Road led to world-wide business 2,000 years before the World Wide Web. The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy (外交), and religion (宗教).53. It’s probable that traders along the Silk Road needed ________ .A. to remember the entire trade routeB. to know the making of productsC. to receive certain special trainingD. to deal with a lot of difficulties54.

What is the best title for the passage?A. The Silk Road: Past and PresentB. The Silk Road: East Meets WestC. The Silk Road: Routes Full of DangersD.

Unit6 Starting out and Understanding ideas能力提升练I. 阅读理解(2020山东潍坊一中高二检测)We humans are a curious species. as NASA says on its website, Humans are driven to explore the unknown, discover new worlds, push the boundaries of our scientific and technical limits, and then push further.And space exploration is where we’ve been “pushing” our furthest curiosity.2019 began with two pieces of exciting space exploration news. On Jan. 3. China landed a spacecraft, Chang’e 4, on the moons far side-the side we can’t see from earth--for the first time in human history. and according to a report published on Jan. 9 in Nature. scientists from the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) detected repeated radio signals from a galaxy 1. 5 billion light years away, possibly sent by intelligent aliens.However, what’s even more exciting than the news is the fact that whenever speaking of space exploration, we forget our political and cultural differences-the things that so obsess us.“When you go into space, you become part of this overall collective called ‘humanity’,” Ken Liu a Chinese-American sci-fi writer and translator told a website. “You’re no longer Chinese. American Russian… Your culture is left behind. You’re now just ‘humanity’ with a capital ‘H’. ”This magic has worked all the way along our journey into space. When the Us astronaut Neil Armstrong (1930--2012) became the first human to set foot on the moon in 1969, for example, he told the world: That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. Now, with Chang’e 4 touching down on new moon territory China’s aim is to help scientists from around the world find out more about Earth’s only satellite. And with the discovery of the CHIME astronomers, were one step closer to answering a common qu estion in science: “Are humans alone in the universe?” It’s true that we are a curious species. But instead of being curious about the “unknown”, perhaps we’re really more eager to “push further” our own human"“boundaries” and “limits”.1. Which of the following is the discovery of the CHIME Scientists?A. A galaxy with intelligent aliens.B. Repeated radio signals sent by intelligent aliens.C. Repeated radio signals from a distant galaxy.D. Radio signals from a galaxy several light years ago.2. Why does the author quote Ken Liu’s words?A. To introduce the famous writer Ken Liu.B. To show that in space we are just humanity.C. To emphasize that culture is not important.D. To introduce the things that obsess us very much.3. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 6?A. Further confirm his opinion.B. Add some background information.C. Summarize the previous paragraphs.D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.4. What’s the main idea of the text?A. China takes the lead in space exploration.B. Humans are not alone in the universe.C. Space exploration is a common cause of mankind.D. Humans desire to push the boundaries of scientific limits.B(2020山东日照实验高中高二检测)Artemis is NASA’s new lunar exploration program. Through the Artemis program,NASA will use new technology to study the moon in new and better ways,and prepare for human missions to Mars.NASAS new rocket will carry the Orion spacecraft to the lunar orbit. Then,astronauts will dock(对接)Orion at a small spaceship called the Gateway,from which the crew will take trips to the lunar surface in a new human landing system and then return to the Gateway. The crew will return to Earth aboard Orion.NASA Will test the rocket and the spacecraft in flight,and then send a crew for a test flight.Artemis 1 will be a test flight of the SLS rocket with the Orion spacecraft with no crew.Artemis 2 will fly SLS and Orion with a crew past the Moon,then circle it and return to Earth. This trip will be the farthest of the trips where any human has gone into space.Artemis 3 will send a crew with the first woman and the next man to land on the moon by2024.The Artemis 3 crew will visit the Moon’s South Pole. No one has ever been there. On the moon astronauts will:Search for the moons water and use it.Learn how to live and work on the surface of another celestial body(天体)where astronauts are just three days from home.Test the technologies we need before sending astronauts on missions to mars which can take up to three years round trip.The Moon is a good place to learn new science Nasa will learn more about the moon. Earth and even the sun The moon is a “test bed” for Mars. The Moon is a place to show that astronauts will one day be able to work away from Earth on Mars for long periods of time.5. What is the aim of the Artemis program?A. To help astronauts return to Earth.B. To be ready for the landing on Mars.C. To study Mars using new science.D. To test the Moon landing spacecraft, Orion.6. Which will be the achievement of the Artemis series.A Going to the moon’s South pole.B. Making the first trip into space.C. Sending the first man to the moon.D.

Learn to live not far from home.8. What can we conclude from the text?A. It is possible to live on another planet now.B. The crew will reach the lunar surface from Orion.C. NASA has sent the first woman astronaut to the Moon.D. The Artemis program is of great help in Mars exploring.II. 七选五(2020浙江诸暨中学高二检测)When thinking about placing a human being in space. one of the most important questions is how to design special clothing needed to protect the person from the dangers of the space environment. 1 The fierce heat of the sun can cause severe burns. The lack of the atmosphere can cause gases in the body to expand and even burst. With no oxygen to breathe,a human being will die in only a few moments.2 So is damage from small pieces of rocks and objects like meteoroids(流星体). In1933,an American flyer,Wiley Post,designed one of the first successful devices to protect a pilot at extreme heights.3 Astronauts in the American space agency flew the first American space flights in the early 1960s. The clothing was similar to that invented by Wiley Post.4 It lets them move do useful tasks and stay outside their spacecraft in comfort and safety for several hours. The spacesuit is called the shuttle extravehicular mobility unit or EMU. It was designed to endure longer and to permit more movement than earlier spacesuits. The EMU has a number of parts that an astronaut can link together by using only one hand which makes it possible for each astronaut to select the parts that fit correctly. Nowadays, NASA scientists are also considering the kind of spacesuit that would be needed for exploration on the planet Mars.5 The equipment may also have to protect astronauts from particles carried in the windon mars And, they must be easy to repair and keep clean during a longer fli ght to and from the red planet.A. Radiation from the sun is another risk in space.B. The cold of space will freeze skin in a short time.C. Today, astronauts wear very different protective clothing.D. Special spacesuits have been used for exploration of Mars.E. EMU has many parts that can be linked together by using two hands.F. It was a large device that looked like a can surrounded the pilots head.G. Because of the gravity on Mars, spacesuits may have to be designed to be lighter than suits used in orbit or on the moon.1. _______2. _______3. _______4. _______5. _______参考答案:I. A【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

模块综合测评Modules 5~6Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AMillions of years ago there were many types of dinosaurs on Earth.Most dinosaurs were planteaters.The Apatosaurus,for example,had a long thin neck so that it could eat leaves from trees.Other dinosaurs were meat-eaters.The Tyrannosaurus Rex killed smaller dinosaurs for food.Dinosaurs were real animals that once lived on the Earth,but they died out about 65 million years ago.The disappearance of the dinosaurs is in some way a great mystery.Some scientists think that the climate changed suddenly.Fossils(化石)of trees tell us that the temperature dropped a lot and that the level of the sea dropped as well.This means that it got suddenly much colder.Perhaps the dinosaurs were too slow to change with the climate.A new idea is that a meteor(流星)crashed into the Earth.Scientists discovered a place in Mexico where they think the meteor crashed.They think that there was a lot of dust from the meteor.The dust landed on the plants.Also the dust blocked(阻挡)the sun's light for as long as five years.Many animals,including dinosaurs,were planteaters,and perhaps the dust killed them.This means there was nothing left for meateating dinosaurs to eat,and so they died out.But,as many animals from that time didn't die,we are not 100% sure what really happened.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了恐龙灭亡的可能的缘由。

Module 6Unexplained Mysteries of the Natural World(建议用时40分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解Most gift-giving shows nothing more than the spirit of love and friendship.But it is possible to form some associations between the kinds of things bought and the people who buy them.Clothing.The clothes you wear tell something about your personality.They tell the world not only how you want to be seen but how you see yourself as well.When someone gives you something to wear that corresponds to your self-image,they’re saying,“I agree wi th you.I like you the way you are.”Such a gift should be taken as a form of compliment(恭维).On the other hand,a gift of clothing that does not match your personality could be an insult(侮辱)to your character.Expensive gifts.Naturally,some gifts like jewelry will be more expensive than others.But some people give higher priced gifts than necessary for the situation.Someone who gives an expensive gift often feels that he should receive more praise than if he had given a less expensive gift.Therefore he is giving himself a gift,too:status.Homemade gifts.Making something by hand has become the exception in many countries today-so much so that giving a homemade gift is sometimes considered extraordinary.If you receive a homemade gift,you’re lucky.It may not be mad e perfectly,but it will show a certain quantity of love.No matter what the results of the homemade look like,remember it’s the thought that counts.Books.People who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to think they do.A good way to know this is to find out whether or not the giver bought the book according to how large it is.If you happen to receive a large heavy book,its giver may be much more interested in the way things appear than in the way they actually are.Anyhow,giving a book can be a way of sharing a feeling or a newly learned meaning.The giver is probably trying to say to you what the books said to him.[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。

If everyone drives such a little car in the future, there will be less pollution in the air, there will be more parking space in cities, and the streets will be less crowded. The space now for one car of the usual size can hold at least three such little cars.The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer, too, as these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour. The cars of the future will be fine for going around the city, but they will not be useful for going far away. If the car is powered by electricity, it will have two batteries—one battery for the motorand the other for the horn (喇叭), signals (信号灯), etc. Little cars which are powered by gas will go 45 kilometers before needing to stop for more gas.If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed to set up in the future. Some roads will be used for the big, fast cars, and other roads will be needed for the small, slower ones.1. What’s the advantage (优势) of the small cars?A. There won’t be so much pollution and the small cars won’t be so expensive as the big ones.B. It will be safer to drive these small cars.C. There will be more space for cars to park.D. All of the above.2. Two sets of roads are necessary in the future in order to .A. prevent car accidentsB. make the city more beautifulC. let small cars run fastD. limit the speed of the cars3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. A car of the usual size now is three times as big as the small car.B. The small car with a speed of 65 kilometers an hour is much more useless than a car of the usual size.C. the little car will be safer but cost more.D. The little car will need more gas.4. The best title for this passage should be .A. Big Cars and Small CarsB. How to Drive Small CarsC. Cars for TomorrowD. Cars for EveryoneBIn 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing atrip to the moon. When the explorers (探险者) landed on the moon,they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” the y met. In turn,the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use yourinner space”H. G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing numberof scientists are seriously thinking about it.Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.But what about underground cities? Japan’s Tai sei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities.” The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H. G. Wells “moon people” would agree. Would y ou?5. The explorers in H. G. Wells’ story were surprised to find that the “moon people” .A. knew so much about the earthB. understood their languageC. lived in so many underground citiesD. were ahead of them in space technology6. What does the unde rlined word “it” (paragraph 2) refer to?A. Discovering the moon’s inner space.B. Using the earth’s inner space.C. Meeting the “moon people” again.D. Traveling to outer space.7. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.8. What would be the best title for the text?A. Alice Cities—cities of the futureB. Space travel with H. G. WellsC. Enjoy living undergroundD. Building down, not upCOne day when the famous American scientist Edison was on his way home, a young man stopped him and required to have a word with him. Edison accepted his request.The young man asked, “How, Mr. Edison, can you invent so many things and get your fame (名声)”The scientist said, “It seems that you have been thinking of becoming famous every day, “The young man nodded, “Yes. I have been dreaming of being a personas famed as you. Every minute I am thinking of how to becomereputable(有声望的). I don’t know when I can achieve my fame. “Edison told him, “Don’t worry, young man. If you want to be a famous man this way, you will have to wait until you die!”“Why should I” the young man was puzzled.Edison said, “Wh at you dream is actually a high building. You never think of how to build it with bricks. Thus the building will never come into reality. However, your story can serve as a mirror. People will remember you because of your illness and laziness. They willoften speak of your name while they give warnings to their children. Aren’t you a notorious person by then”9. What happened to Edison when he was on his way home?A. a beggar stopped himB. a robber stopped him.C. A man wanted to speak to him.D. A man wanted to have words with him.10. The man asked Edison to tell him______.A. how to invent new things.B. how to become famousC. how he became a noblemanD. how to become a scientist11. After hearing his talk, the young man was puzzled because Edison told him ______.A. he would die after he was famousB. he would be famous before he diedC. he would die before he was famousD. he would never be famous12. The story mainly tells us ________.A. a person needs high spiritB. one shouldn’t dream of becoming famousC. only by hard work can one’s wish come into realityD. one person should be idle and lazy.DMichael, a typical (典型的) American, stays home on workdays. He plugs into his personal computer terminal (接线端) in order to connect with the office. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael doesn’t talk to any other human beings, and he doesn’t see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.The world of business is one area in which technology isisolating (使隔离) us. Experts say, for example, that many peoplewill soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually se e the people they’re dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers’ salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts(账户), making paper checks(支票)unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts.Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.13. The sentence “Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible” means ____ .A .Michael is a person full of imagination and he can make his dreams come trueB. Michael is not a real person but probably the lifestyle does existC. Michael has ambitions but he can t make his dreams come trueD. Michael is a person full of imagination and his lifestyle is common nowadays14. What will the author most probably discuss after the last paragraph?A. Games and sports.B. Personal banking.C. Music and films.D. International business.15. What is the main idea of the passage?A. We may no longer need to communicate with other human beings.B. Modern technology seems to be separating human beings.C. We may no longer need to work in the office.D. Modern technology makes it possible for us to work and entertain ourselves at home.第三部分写作训练(共35分)第一节根据首字母或汉语提示完成单词(每题2分,共10分)1. China is rich in natural r_____________2.

If you have the wish and really made a conscious(自觉的)effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you. Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.M emory “trick” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber(理发师)shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.We always seem to find something funny and amusing(有趣的)in incidents caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never got tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “trick” of our memory can cause us great trouble.1.

In the passage, the writer seems to tell you .A. forgetting things is serious and dangerousB. always forgetting things is understandableC. forgetting things at times is naturalD. the way to protect yourself from memory “tricks”5. The best title for this passage is .A. How to Get a Good MemoryB. “Tricks” Of MemoryC. Forgetfulness and Absent-mindedness is DangerousD. Get Rid of Absent-mindednessBEverybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry. He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock(闹钟). He tried to shave(刮脸)quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing(熨), so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read theelectricity meter(表). He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn’t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi. When Harry’s taxi stopped outside his office, a policeman happened to be standing there. He saw the blood on Harry’s shirt, and took him to the police station. He was kept till 3 o’clock in the afternoon before the police were sure that he was not the man they wanted.

His boss told him to go away and find another job because .A. he had been kept by the policeB. there was blood on his shirtC. he was late for workD. he had killed a womanCAfter the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report. The damage and death toll (伤亡) could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.Injures and deaths were relatively less in Los Angles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes made to t he construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways, making them more resistant (有抵抗力的) to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图的) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible (柔韧的) materials, such as steel and wood, which bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact (影响) of ground vibrations (颤动). The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports, called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the buildings tip forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.11. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is that ____ .A. new computers had been installed in the buildingsB. occurred in the residential areas (居民区) rather than on the highwaysC. large numbers of Los Angeles residents had rushed into Los Angeles for holidayD. improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways12. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ____ .A. counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the buildingB. predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC. help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD. measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations13. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ____ .A. would cause serious financial problemsB. would be worthwhile though costlyC. would increase the complexity of architectural designD. can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes14. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing (最小化) the damage caused by earthquakes attention should be focused on ____ .A. the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB. the development of flexible building materialsC. the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD. early forecasts of earthquakes15. The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to ____ .A. compare the results of the earthquakes that occurred in the USB. encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computersC. outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materialsD. report new developments in constructing quake-resistant building第三部分写作训练(共35分)第一节根据首字母或汉语提示完成单词(每题2分,共10分)1.
