外研版⾼⼀英语必修⼀Module2检测试题及答案(2) 第⼆部分阅读理解(共两节,满分50分) 第⼀节 (共20⼩题;每⼩题2分,共40分) A At noon I stopped at the traffic light and saw a homeless man walking up and down in the street. It was a hot day. “This will make him smile,” I thought. I turned my car towards a frozen yogurt (酸奶酪) shop. I took a cup and filled it and came to the counter to weigh it. I wanted to add some toppings, something delicious put on the top, but my change was not enough for that, so I asked the lady if she would take a $100 bill. She said she wasn’t allowed to accept a bill that large. So I just paid for the yogurt. As I was about to leave, she said, “Madam, don’t disappoint your child. Please add their favorite toppings.” I turned to her and said, “Thanks, but this is not for my child. It’s for the homeless man in the street.” She smiled with surprise and said, “Oh! That’s really sweet of you. God bless you.” She thought for a moment, and then she said, “I think we can do better than that.” She took a bigger cup, filled it nicely and covered it with colorful toppings. Then she handed it to me and said, “This is from me. Please give it to the homeless man. Let’s treat him nicely.” Now it was my turn to be surprised. I said, “Thanks a lot.” Then I left with a big smile on my face. On the way I said to myself, “Angels are real, aren’t they? I believe them because I saw one today!” 31. The author turned her car towards the shop in order to . A. buy herself a cup of frozen yogurt B. cool herself in the frozen yogurt shop C. ask someone there to change a $100 bill D. make the homeless man in the street happy 32 The lady in the shop at first thought that the author . A. bought something for her child B. was going to do a good deed C. didn’t need to add any toppings D. would be disappointed without toppings in her yogurt 33. We can learn from the passage that . A. the author got a lot of colorful toppings for free B. the author realized that the lady was very kind in the beginning C. the homeless man would probably receive two cups of yogurt D. the lady was so moved that she didn’t take the author’s money B “The British and Americans are two peoples separated by a common language.” — Oscar Wilde Though American English has become much different from British English, more and more British words and phrases are becoming common in American English. Here are some examples. Bloody If there is anything Americans like, it’s a good word to express their great anger. For example, “It’s bloody cold out there! What a bloody and costly failure!” Bloody is now well accepted by most Americans. It’s a way of swearing (咒骂) in America. Chat up The British expression “chat up” for flirting (搭讪) is much gentler than the American expression “hit on”. That may be why more Americans are using “chat up” especially when talking about their own actions. Ginger Before the first Harry Potter book came out, Americans only used the word ginger when referring to the spice (调味品). Ginger has almost always been a color as well as a spice for the British. Now more and more Americans are talking about “ginger cats” and “ginger hair”. Sell-by date More and more American members of the media are using this British term in place of the American term “expiration date” on which something, such as a license, is no longer in effect. American products are also using this term, which is a bit more descriptive than “expiration date”. Spot on In the 1970s, the American expression “right on” was popular, which had the same meaning as “exactly right”, but it has become out of date. Now, the British expression “spot on” has taken the place of “right on”. 34. The British will complain about the cold weather by saying “ ”.A. it’s bloody cold todayB. the weather chats upC. the weather has too much bloodD. what a bloody day 35. According to the passage, “a ginger cat” refers to a cat that .A. enjoys eating gingerB. has yellow furC. smells like gingerD. likes the color yellow 36. What does the “sell-by date” of the products mean? A. The price of the products. B. The rights that the producers should have. C. The date when the products are produced. D. The date after which the products should not be sold. 37. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. English—a common language B. How does American English develop? C. British English is entering American English D. Differences between American English and British English C Who are your favorite teachers? My classmates and I were asked this question on the first day at the university many years ago. It was a great way to begin my career in teaching—thinking about people in the profession who had the most positive (积极的) influence on me. We were asked to write down our answers. I thought of Sister Mary Margaret and Sister Mary Anne, who taught me in the kindergarten. I thought of Mrs. Padgett and Mrs. Kofford, English teachers, and Mr. Kutras, a history teacher, in high school. Then I thought of Dr. Lincoln and Dr. Campbell, history professors, and Dr. Kirk, an English professor, who taught me in college. Then came this question, “What do they all have in common?” My hand went up first and I said, “They all loved what they were doing. They had great enthusiasm (积极性) for teaching.” All of my fellow graduate students nodded their heads. That was the right answer Dr. McSweeney expected. He said, “I ask these questions every year, and I always get the same answers.” He went on to explain that he opened with these questions because they were proved to make things have a good start, and they would make future teachers think about what separates the great teachers from the not-so-great. He said, “We all remember our favorite teachers—the ones who had passion (激情) and enthusiasm, the ones who loved and enjoyed what they were doing. I want each of you to become that kind of teacher. Always remember those special teachers.” It was a statement I never forgot during my thirty-five years in the classroom. 38. According to the passage, an excellent teacher should have .A. much experience in teachingB. a wide range of knowledge C. passion and enthusiasm for teaching D. abilities to ask questions 39. The author thinks that teachers who are liked best by students .A. live a positive lifeB. are mostly women teachersC. teach very wellD. have positive influence on students 40. By starting with those questions Dr. McSweeney wished his students to .A. become great teachersB. enjoy his lesson C. remember him forever D. tell great teachers from common ones 41. What can we learn about the author from the passage?A. He works in a university.B. He is actually a teacher. C. He likes Dr. McSweeney best. D. He was always the best student in school. D Sitting in her yard in Hartford, Connecticut, nine-year-old Alice Cogswell watched the children playing games. From their faces she could tell that they were laughing. But she couldn’t hear their voices. Alice had been deaf, living in a quiet world since a serious illness took away her hearing when she was 2. The year was 1814, and few opportunities were given to children like Alice. Unable to hear or talk, she didn’t attend school. There were no teachers to teach deaf children across America. In those days, most people believed that deaf children couldn’t learn at all. One day, her neighbor, Thomas Gallaudet, noticed that Alice wasn’t playing with other kids. When he tried to speak to her, he realized that she couldn’t hear. But he couldn’t miss her bright and curious eyes. Placing his hat on the ground, he spelt the letters h-a-t. Alice understood, and soon Gallaudet became her teacher. Gallaudet had learnt about schools for the deaf in Europe. He thought, “Why shouldn’t Alice and other deaf children in the United States have such a school?” Encouraged by Alice’s progress, Gallaudet decided to go to Europe to learn their ways. After 15 months there, Gallaudet returned to Connecticut, together with Laurent Clerc, a teacher from a famous school for the deaf in Paris, France. Gallaudet and Clerc opened the country’s first deaf school in 1817. There were 33 teachers and students at the very beginning, including Alice. They created the American Sign Language, which was based partly on the French sign language and partly on signs the students invented. Deaf students could now learn subjects like reading, history and math, as well as skills like shoemaking and cabinetmaking (家具制造) for boys and housekeeping for girls. 42. Which of the following about deaf children in the US before 1814 is TRUE? A. They were treated as normal kids in schools. B. They communicated with others with the help of a sign language. C. It was almost impossible for them to receive an education. D. They weren’t allowed to play games with normal kids. 43. Gallaudet taught Alice to learn the first word by . A. using a sign language B. combining a thing with a word C. playing games together with her D. telling her how to write the letters on her own 44. What can be learned from the passage? A. Alice made some progress in her studies. B. Alice was deaf when she was born. C. Laurent Clerc created the American Sign Language. D. Only boys were allowed to learn the skill in making shoes in America. 45. The passage is mainly about . A. American people’s concern about deaf kids B. the life of an American girl Alice Cogswell C. the development of the American Sign Language D. the founding of the first school for deaf children in America E Are you angry? Are you unhappy in your job? Wish you had a means of expressing those feelings? Well, if you lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, you could go to Break Club. It’s made up of people who get together to break things as a way to release (释放) their feelings. They can throw bottles at the wall, or break an old computer into pieces. Mora, a club member, is a 22-year-old media (媒体) producer who works hard and is always stressed out. She says, “I have to deal with so many people and things every day, which drives me mad. I have a paper heart and my nerves are at the breaking point. Well, now it’s time to break something.” She wears overalls (⼯装裤), thick gloves and glasses. In her hands there’s a baseball bat ready for action. After destroying an old computer monitor, Mora is almost out of breath but has a smile on her face. “I feel like a new person. I’m happy! I’m ready for anything!” she says. The club’s creator, Guido Dodero, says most of the members are young women. Dodero explains,“This is still quite a manly country. Women feel angry and they also want to play an important role in society. They need to break from that every now and then and the club is the place for that.” Some members bring a picture of the former (以前的) husband to destroy. Others bring a picture of… well, it could be of you or me. Dodero says Break Club is the only one of its kind in Argentina, but there are many similar clubs in Spain, Japan and the US. With the development of society, Break Club may become a necessary part of daily life. There might be one near you soon. Do you feel like breaking things? 46. People in Buenos Aires go to Break Club to .A. have a drinkB. destroy the clubC. meet some new friendsD. release their anger or unhappiness 47. What has actually caused Mora to go to Break Club?A. Her stressful job.B. Her broken heart.C. Her terrible nerves.D. The wild thought in her mind. 48. How does Mora feel after she has destroyed an old computer monitor?A. She feels very sorry.B. She feels better than before.C. She feels puzzled but happy.D. She feels alone but comfortable. 49. Who are the club’s main visitors according to the club’s creator? A. Men who control the country. B. Young and very angry women. C. Women who are important to society. D. Women whose marriages fail. 50. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. People can destroy anything in Break Club. B. Break Club is very common in Argentina. C. People often hurt themselves while breaking things. D. Break Club may become popular all over the world. 第⼆节根据对话内容,从对话后的选项中选出能填⼊空⽩处的最佳选项。

A deep-seated preference for night life and subways, the thinking goes, has driven the revitalization of urban cores across the U.S. over the last decade-plus.But there’s mounting evidence that millennials’ love of cities was a passing fling(放纵). Millennials don’t love cities any more than pr evious generations.The latest argument comes from Dowell Myers, an urban planning professor at USC.As they age, says Myers, millennials’ presence in cities, will “be evaporating(蒸发) through our fingers, if we don’t make some plans now.” That’s because millennials’ preference for cities will fade as they start families and become more established in their careers.It’s about more than aging, though. Demographer William Frey has been arguing for years that millennials have become ‘stuck’ in cities by the 2008 downturn and the following slow recovery, with poor job prospects and declining wages making it harder for them to afford to buy homes in suburbia.Myers, too, says observers have confused young people’s presence in cities with a preference for cities. Survey data shows that more millennials would like to be living in the suburbs than actually are. But the normal career and family cycles moving young people from cities into suburban houses have become, in Myers’ words, “a plugged-up drain.”But unemployment has finally returned to healthy lows (though participation rates and wages are still largely stagnant), which Myers says should finally increase mobility for millennials.Other trends among millennials, supposedly matters of lifestyle preference, have already turned out to have been driven mostly by economics. What was once deemed their broad preference for public transit may have always been a now-reversing inability to afford cars. Even decades-long trends towards marryinglater have been accentuated a s today’ s young people struggle for financial stability.Investors are already taking the idea that millennials will return to old behavior patterns seriously, putting more money into auto manufacturers and developers. But urban lifestyles, up to and including trendy bars, aren’t just hip—they’re a part of what powers a city’s economic engines, bringing people together to explore new ideas, create companies, and build careers.From the 1960s to the 1990s, we saw that suburbanization(城市郊区化) also means an economic and social hollowing out for cities. Now that the economic shackles are coming off today’s young city residents, cities that want to stay vibrant(充满生机的) have to figure out how to convince them—and their growing families—to stick around.1. Why are Millennials about to leave city?A. It is too expensive for them to buy apartment in cities.B. They find it difficult for to seek a god job in cities.C. It is easier to get married moving to the suburban.D. They are more confident with their economic situation.2. What does the author mean quoting Myer’s “a plugged-up drain"(para 5)?A. Millennials are reluctant to leave attractive cities.B. Millennials are stopped from moving to the suburbs.C. Millennials are unwilling to be cut off from the suburban.D. Millennials are afraid of another economic decline.3. How does the author feel about the suburbanization?A. sign of stable finance.B. A growth of health issuesC. A conflict of new ideas.D. A loss of modem life这是一篇议论文。

Even though most countries have a system for recognizing, honoring and rewarding people who have done something good in their countries, there are now hundreds of awards and awards ceremonies for all kinds of things・The Oscars are probably the most famous, a time for the film industry to tell itself how good it is. The awards are not only for films 一Now there are also Grammies, Brits, the Mercury Prize and the MTV and Q awards for music .In Britain, a writer who wins the Booker prize can expect to see their difficult, literary novel hit the bestseller lists and compete with The Da Vinci Code for popularity. The Turner Prize is an award for a British contemporary artist — each year it causes controversy by apparently giving lots of money to artists who do things like displaying their beds, putting animals in glass cases or 一this year 一building a garden shed・Awards don't only exist for the arts. There are now awards for Sports Personality of the Year, for European Footballer of the Year and World Footballer of the Year. This seems very strange —sometimes awards can be good to give recognition to people who deserve it, or to help people who are on tight budget carry on their work without worrying about finances, but professional soccer players these days “re not shy of fund!Why have all these awards and ceremonies appeared recently? Shakespeare never won a prize, nor did Leonardo Da Vinci.Most awards ceremonies are now sponsored by big organizations or companies. This means that not only the person who wins the award benefits from it 一but also the sponsors. The MTV awards, for example, are great for publicizing not only music, but also MTV itself!On the surface, it seems to be a "wimwirf' situation, with everyone being happy, but let me ask you a question — how far do you think that publicity and marketing are winning here, and how much genuine recognition of achievement is taking place?5.What's the writer's attitude towards the Nobel Prize?A.Critical.B.

However, since 2011, researchers from Cape Peninsula University of Technology in Cape Town have been observing a new phenomenon off the coast of South Africa. Professor Ken Findlay and his team reported seeing 22 cases of large groups of humpback whales on three different occasions in 2011,2014, and 2015.The researchers are puzzled not just by the unusual social behavior, but also by the fact that the U super-groups^ were seen in April and May. That's because the mammals typically spend these late summer months (in the Southern Hemisphere) feeding in the Antarctic waters before heading back to the warmer subtropical South African waters during winter, to breed and give birth. In a study published in the journal PLOS ONE on May 1, Findlay and his team outlined some of the possible reasons behind the big change in the mammals9 behavior.The researchers say that the cause of the recent sightings could be the abundant food available in the Benguela upwelling system. Located near the southwestern tip of South Africa between St. Helena Bay and Cape Point, the system of cold, nutrient-rich ocean cuiTents is rich in phytoplanktons and species of small fish that the humpback whales feed on, such as the mantis shrimp ・Another probable reason is the sudden increase in humpback whales' population. According to a recent scientific report, the mammals, population, off the coast of Australia, has reached nearly 90 perceni of pre-whaling numbers, while on the US East Coast, the number of whales is up 60 percent from its lows. All in all, experts estimate there are currently 150,000 humpback whales swimming in our oceans- They all need to feed・However, while the theories may explain the decision to skip migrating (迁徙)to Antarctic waters, the reason for the social super-groups remains a mystery. According to Findley, "It's possible that the behavior was occurring, but just not where it was visible (看得见的).Because there were so few of them, we may not have seen it:9・ What is implied about the humpback whales in Paragraph 2?A.They no longer hunt for food in the Antarctic waters・B.They usually spend the whole winter in the Antarctic waters・C.They are rarely seen in South African waters during April and May.D.They^ve changed their social behavior to adjust to the warmer waters・10. According to Findley, why are the humpback whales seen in large groups now?A.Because they swim in populated areas now・B.Because their number has increased greatly.C.Because they need to work together to hunt for food.D.Because researchers pay closer attention to them now.11 • What does the passag e mainly talk about?A.Reasons for the number of humpback whales increasing so greatly.B.How humpback whales adapt themselves to the changing environment.C.Why humpback whales appear off the coast of South Africa in large groups.

Immediately before my colleagues and I conduct hearings for the criminals, we meet with their victims if they wish to tell us their stories.Every time I walk into those hearing rooms I retest my belief in justice・ I do my best to balance my concern for public safety and my faith that some criminals truly have regretted their deeds・ On hearing days, nearly always, the victims beg us to keep the prisoners behind bars. All morning long I hear their sufferings: murder, armed robbery, and domestic violence.The victims return to their lives and hours later I find myself face to face with the criminals. I settle in to hear what the prisoners have to say.

AOne evening, two young men were walking in the street together. They tried to find a chance to steal something.The clock struck twelve. Most of the people went to bed. Quickly they came to a house and it seemed that everyone in the house had fallen asleep. Standing at the front gate, one_said_in_English_to_the_other_in_a_low_voice,_“You wait here. I'll walk around to the back door and then get into the house.”Suddenly out of the house ran a dog, barking at them. The two men were very frightened and ran away as fast as they could. Finally, they stopped at a lonely place. The man said breathlessly, “It's too bad. I hadn't expected that the dog could understand English.”1.Why did the two men walk in the street one evening?A.They couldn't fall asleep.B.They wanted to steal something.C.They would like to take a walk.D.They went to visit their friends.2.From the sentence “one said in English to the other in a low voice”,we know that he ________.A.didn't know EnglishB.liked speaking English quietlyC.couldn't speak aloudD.was afraid of waking up others3.The dog ran out of the house and barked at them only because ________.A.it understood EnglishB.it knew themC.it found someone outsideD.both B and CBLiving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, bothwhen you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn't solve anything.Communication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can't just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say“Hi”,and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word “communication”in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance (表达) of information, means of communication such as a letter or a message”. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it's just by writing a note.When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you'll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn't feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren't as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie's parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.Communication isn't a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie's, tell the other person how you feel —listening is the key factor to communication.4.In the writer's view, dealing with parents is ________than with children.A.more difficult B.easierC.more uninteresting D.more interesting5.The main idea of the second paragraph is ________.A.the importance of friendshipB.to make your feeling known to othersC.the importance of communicationD.the disagreement between generations6.The example in this passage proves that ________.A.Sophie is very polite to her parentsB.Sophie's parents are willing to listen to herC.explanation is the best way to solve a problemD.communication is the solution (解决办法) to misunderstanding7.All the following statements are correct EXCEPT ________.A.If you don't agree with others, you'd better let them knowB.It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothingC.If you are not able to communicate, walk awayD.Communication is a twoway dealCI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. Ialways looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. So we both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.8.What made Kate so angry one evening?A.She couldn't find her books.B.She heard the author shouting loud.C.She got the news that her grandma was ill.D.She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed.9.The author tidied up the room most probably because she ________.A.was scared by Kate's angerB.hated herself for being so messyC.wanted to show her careD.was asked by Kate to do so10.How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A.By analyzing (分析) causes.B.By showing differences.C.By describing a process (过程).D.By following time order.11.What might be the best title for the story?A.My Friend KateB.Hard Work Pays OffC.How to Be OrganizedD.Learning to Be RoommatesDLast week was Sports Day at my daughter's school. She was part of the Yellow House. She had to wear yellow and race for points. The Yellow House won. I was really pleased for my daughter because last year the Green House won. In fact, when the winning house was announced last year, many little faces turned sour. There were many tears and children were bitter because they had lost.Losing is never fun. From a young age children know that winning is the best result. As parents, we can talk to children about the importance of everyone having a chance to win; we canteach our children to be happy for their friends when a friend wins.As children grow older they will be exposed to more and more competition. It is important that we teach our children to learn to “bounce back”from losses, to experience loss in a positive way and to keep on going even when they don't achieve the desired outcome.By teaching children now to be resilient (适应性强的), we can prepare them for adult life in the future. Our children can learn to compete for fun and learn how to bounce back from life's failures and disappointments.We can talk to our children about competition. We can teach by example and show our kids that losing a game or failing a test is not the end. Losing is simply a chance to try again and a chance to become more successful.Raising emotionally healthy children is very important for the future generation and by teaching our children the above principles we can help them to overcome the difficulties of life and they will learn to compete in healthy ways throughout their lives.12.In the first paragraph, the author intends to ________.A.describe the sports eventB.introduce the topic of the textC.show the cruelty of competitionD.make a comparison between winners and losers13.What kind of instruction will the author give to his children?A.You are allowed to fail.B.Winning is the best result.C.Competition is not healthy.D.You should try your best to win.14.What is the text mainly about?A.Preparing children for future life.B.Raising emotionally healthy children.C.Teaching children to face failure bravely.D.Teaching children about healthy competition.15.In which column of a newspaper is the text likely to appear?A.Health.
