山西省大同市第一中学2014-2015学年高二下学期模块考试（期中）英语试题第I卷共60分第一部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A“Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell. ”This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in AD 52 wrote it.We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improve the quality of our lives?Picture this: You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have not telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead a simpler life.One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Tomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.The grandmother, Lyn, said, “It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less materialistic. “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes,” S he said. The boys said they found less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy（时髦的）, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.”Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!Don’t be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Don’t check your e-mail every day. Don’t reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text messag e just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets annoying.1. The passage is mainly about __________.A. improvements of technologyB. troubles with technologyC. the importance of technologyD. major changes in technology2. The writer quoted（引用）what a citizen in ancient Rome said at the beginning to __________.A. tell us what life was likeB. make us wonder what life isC. tell us a truth about lifeD. point out some big problems3. The family choose to spend some time in a 1940’s house because they ___________.A. had trouble in their daily lifeB. liked to live a simple lifeC. were tired of modern inventionsD. were curious about the life then4. What do you think the underlined word “available” me an?A. on handB. on lineC. able to useD. free to leave5. According to the writer of the passage, we know that ___________.A. new inventions may bring people some troubleB. We would feel stressed without the new inventionsC. new inventions have improved the quality of our livesD. People far away from noisy cities never seem to be happierBClassified AdsFor direct classified service, call 800-0667 10 a.m.—4 p.m., Monday---Friday.For RentBest on CampusExcellent Room for girls, begins Jan., 2, 4, or 8 months lease.

Help WantedD. For SaleCThere is no doubt that teens today are extremely busy. Homework piles up and extra-curricular (课外的) activities are time-consuming. Often, teens have to take part in a sport or activity after school, and they are up until 10:00 or later doing homework. Getting teenagers involved in volunteer opportunities can give them a sense of accomplishment that is not connected with sports or school.Teenagers are often in their own little world. Helping them get involved in volunteering opportunities is the perfect way for them to open up that world and give their time to a good cause.The key to getting teens involved in volunteer work is to find an opportunity that will fit into their schedule and find something that interests them. Also, keep it close to home. If they have to travel a lon g distance to volunteer, it’s less likely to be accomplished.My son has helped with the local library’s reading program for two summers. It is close to home and the schedule is very elastic. We go in and choose days that work with his schedule and he volunteers for about 2 hours at a time. He is responsible for helping kids get signed up for the summer reading program and helping them record the hours they read. It is only a one-week time commitment, but it is very rewarding.When teens volunteer they often see that there are others more needy than themselves. They also learn time management. Your teen will become a more rounded, less self-centred individual.Colleges see thousands of students applying for admission every year. If your teen has shown the devotion to volunteer in the community, it can give him the advantage for college admission or scholarship opportunities. So, volunteering is good for their present and their future!11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Heavy loads faced by teens toadB. Requirements of volunteeringC. Volunteering experienceD. Beneficial volunteering for teens12. To find a voluntary opportunity, you should mainly consider____________.A. whether it can improve your gradesB. whether you are responsibleC. whether you have a sense of accomplishmentD. whether it can suit your interest13. The author of the text probably .A. supports his son in volunteeringB. tries to limit his son’s volunteering timeC. never thought his son would volunteerD. is concerned about his son’s learning14. The underlined word “elastic” in the fourth paragraph can be best replaced by “”.A. independentB. flexibleC. preciousD. tight15. We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. volunteering can help a teen stand out as an excellent studentB. scholarship opportunities are only offered to excellent studentsC. colleges show more preference for students with volunteering experiencesD. one can’t become an excellent st udent without volunteering experience第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AFourteen-year-old Richie Hawley had spent five years studying violin at the Community School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles when he took part in a violin contest. Ninety-two young people were invited to the contest and Hawley came out first.The contest could have been the perfect setup for fear, worrying about mistakes, and trying to impress the judges. But Hawley said he did pretty well at staying calm. “I couldn't be thinking about how many mistakes I'd make —it would distract me from playing.” he says. “I don't even remember trying to impress people whi le I played. It's almost as if they weren't there. I just wanted to make music.”Hawley is a winner. But he didn't become a winner by concentrating on winning. He did it by concentrating on playing well.“The important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part，” said the founder of the modern Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin. “The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.”A characteristic of high performers is their intense, pleasurable concentration on work, rather than on their competitors or future glory or money, says Dr. Charles Garfield, who has studied 1,500 achievers in business, science, sports, arts, and professions. “They are interested in winnin g, but they're most interested in selfdevelopment, testing their limits.”One of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses they've had — and how much they've learned from each. “Not one of the 1,500 I studied defined losing as failing，” Garfield says. “They kept calling their losses ‘setback’．”A healthy attitude towards setbacks is essential to winning, experts agree.“The worst thing you can do if you've had a setback is to let yourself get stuck in a prolonged depression. You should analyze carefully what went wrong, identify specific things you did right and give yourself credit for them.” Garfield believes that most people don't give themselves enough praise. He even suggests keeping a diary of all the positive things you've done on the way to a goal.1. What is common among high performers is that they tend to give priority to ________.A．glory B. Wealth C. pleasure D. Work2.According to the passage, successful people concentrate on _______.A．challenging their own limits B. learning from othersC. defeating their opponentsD. avoiding setbacks3.The passa ge tells us that “praise” in times of trouble ________.A．helps people deal with their disappointment B. makes people forget their setbacksC. makes people regret about their pastD. helps people realize their goalsBThirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part — drivers.DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had its brake lock up in the starting area. Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The “winner”，if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire.“You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things，” says Reinhold Behringe, who helped design two of the car-size vehicles for a company called SciAutonics.“Even ants can do all these tasks effortlessly. It's very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines.”The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there's a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.4．Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because ________.A. they did not have any human guidanceB. the road was not familiar to the driversC. the distance was too long for the vehiclesD. the prize money was unattractive to the drivers 5．From the passage we know “robotic vehicles” are a kind of machines that________.A. can do effortlessly whatever tasks living things canB. can take part in a race across 142-miles with a time limitC. can show off their ability to turn themselves upside downD. can move from place to place without being driven by human beings6．In the last paragraph, the author implies that there is a long way to go ________.A. for a robotic vehicle to finish a 142-mile race without any difficultiesB. for a little child who has just learned to walk to reach the cookie on the tableC. for a robotic vehicle to deal with a simple problem that a little child can solveD. for a little child to understand the importance of wiping apple juice off his/her faceCAs long as I can remember, I've always loved to draw. But my interest in drawing wasn't encouraged very much. Growing up in the 1950s, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, boys were supposed to be athletic. Certain peer pressures encouraged little fingers to learn how to hold footballs rather than crayons.My early love for drawing developed into a love for telling stories through pictures. Stories began as fragments (片段) of pictures in my mind. I created a story by posing questions to myself. I called it the “what if” and “what then” approac h. For example, for my book The Polar Express, I started out by thinking “What if a boy gets on that train? Where does he go？”From the time I come up with the idea, write and illustrate the book, and deliver it to the printer, it takes about seven months. First, I begin thinking of the idea. Then I imagine the pictures and the story. A good picture book should have events that are visually arresting. I first consider scenes that are exciting to look at and then my challenge is to weave a story around those pictures. The next step is putting the illustrations and story down on paper.When you first look at my illustrations, you see ordinary, everyday things. But if you look closer, things might not seem quite so simple. When I'm writing a book, I always try to create something strange or puzzling in each picture. By using artistic strategies, I can give the drawing a kind of mysterious quality.All of my books are picture books, so they are generally thought of as books for children. But when I make them, I think of the books as being for everybody — for people of all ages. When I was a kid, I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up, but now I'm really glad I became an artist and a storyteller. 7．Why does the author mention The Polar Express?A. To tell us an interesting story.B. To introduce his famous work.C. To make up a sentence with “what if”．D. To show us how he designed his book. 8．The underlined word “arresting” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.A. frighteningB. interestingC. satisfyingD. worrying 9．Which of the following is TRUE about the author?A. He did well when he was at school.B. He only wrote something for children.C. He tried his best to meet the readers' taste.D. He regretted not working hard at drawing. 10．What would be the best title for this passage?A. Telling Stories by DrawingB. “What if” and “What Then”C. How to Tell Interesting StoriesD. Working as a Famous Storyteller第二节：七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）The Value of a DollarIf you find a single one dollar bill in your pocket, what could you do with it? __11__ If you take a few moments to think about the value of that dollar, you'd find that it can actually get you further than youthink.Pay a visit to your local dollar store.

The rises in the minimum rice purchase price had been approved by the State Council, China's Cabinet, said the statement.The purchase prices for japonica rice will rise 21.9 percent to 128 yuan (19.4 U.S. dollars) per 50 kilograms, while prices for early and middle-late rice will increase 9.7 percent and 10.3 percent to 102 yuan and 107 yuan per 50 kg respectively.Rice and wheat are two major grain crops in China.The State Council pledged Wednesday to step up efforts to boost grain production as drought continues to wreak havoc in north China's wheat growing regions.China's main wheat-growing regions, including Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Anhui, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and Jiangsu provinces, have been plagued by drought since October last year.Drought has affected about 7.73 million hectares, or 42.4 percent, of the total winter wheat crop area in the country's eight key producing provinces, the Ministry of Agriculture said Wednesday.China's grain output rose 2.9 percent last year to 546.41 million tons, marking the seventh consecutive year of growth.41. When was this news probably written?A. In 2011B. In 2010C. In February, 2011D. On Wednesday, 201142. What is the purchase price for japonica rice before it wise according to the passage?A.105 yuan per 50 kilogramsB. 128 yuan per 50 kilogramsC. 102 yuan per 50 kilogramsD. 107 yuan per 50 kilograms43. What is the meaning of the underlined word in the fourth paragraph?A. completelyB. honorablyC. separatelyD. exactly44. Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage.A. A raised purchase price will encourage farmers to grow more rice.B. The plan hasn‟t been approved by the State Council, China's Cabinet.C. Drought continues to hit the wheat growing regions in the north of China.D. There are 8 grain producing provinces affected by the drought.45. Which may be the headline of this news?A. China‟s minimum rice purchase pri ces raised to boost productionB. A Steady rice purchase prices to ensure rice productionC. The Chinese government pays more attention on rice productionD. China‟s grain output steadily increasesBNuclear energy has always been controversial. But since the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima (Japan) last year the issue is back in the headlines. And the world is divided— some countries are planning more nuclear plants, while others have promised to shut theirs down.After Fukushima, Germany decided to switch off all its nuclear plants by 2022. Switzerland and Italy are also phasing out nuclear power. But France and the United States remain staunch supporters of atomic energy. In fact, almost 80% of France‟s electricity comes from nuclear power, the highest percentage in the world. And in the US, the Obama administration said it “continues to support the expansion of nuclear power, despite the crisis in Japan.”Nuclear supporters claim nuclear power can help the environment. Unlike fossil fuels, nucle ar power doesn‟t create greenhouse gases. So, pro-nuclear countries argue that nuclear power allows them to generate energy without contributing to climate change. Britain‟s chief scientific adviser (John Beddington) supports this view. He recently saidth at the world doesn‟t have the luxury of ignoring nuclear energy.Nuclear power is also relatively cheap. Renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro and wind power may be clean, but they‟re expensive; and right now, they require a lot of investment. This higher cost of using “green energy” is usually passed onto the consumer. So, while many people may prefer their energy to come from a renewable source, not so many are prepared to pay higher energy bills. This is of particular concern while the world economy is in such bad shape.The main argument against nuclear energy is that it isn‟t safe. For a start, nuclear waste is very difficult to dispose of, and remains toxic to humans for thousands of years. And even before Fukushima, there were several high-profile nuclear disasters. The most famous is probably the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, in the Ukraine. The radiation from the meltdown spread all over Europe, affecting thousands.The nuclear energy issue is very complex. And it doesn‟t look like it‟ll be resolv ed anytime soon. As a Japanese commentator recently said, “it‟s been a bad year for the …nuclear village‟, but I don‟t think they‟re down and out yet.” The battle continues.46. Which of the following may NOT be the advantage of nuclear energy over other energy sources?A. Nuclear energy doesn‟t produce any greenhouse gases.B. Nuclear energy can help prevent the climate damage.C. Nuclear energy is more environmental-friendly than other green energy sources.D. Nuclear energy can save the consumers some money, compared to other renewable energies.47. What does the underlined word “this ” refer to in paragraph 4?A. The fact that many people prefer to use the green energy sources while unwilling to payhigher bill.B. The cost of using renewable sourcesC. The fact that the nuclear power is cheaper.D. The investment of renewable energy sources48. In the 5th paragraph, the author takes the case of Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine to_______.A. convince the reader that nuclear waste is difficult to get rid of.B. explain that nuclear waste may remain harmful to humans for thousands of years.C. persuade the world not to use nuclear energy.D. support the idea that nuclear energy is not safe.49. We can learn from the last paragraph that _______.A. the Japanese commentator is positive about the future of nuclear energy.B. the nuclear energy issue will be soon settled.C. a battle will break out in the future.D. Japan is considering to build a nuclear village in the future.50.What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?A. To highlight the danger of using nuclear energy.B. To introduce some serious nuclear disasters.C. To show the argument between nuclear supporters and protesters.D. To give some advice on how to use nuclear energy safely.C（七选五）Tips on Being a Good TwittererTwitter or micro-blogging, is really more of a social commons than a full-blown social network like MySpace or Facebook.
