模块综合测评(时间：100分钟，满分：120分)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AMan in the FutureWhat will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess，of course，but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today，for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example.Man，even five hundred years ago，was shorter than he is today.Now，on average，men are about three inches taller.Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time，so we may believe that man will continue to grow taller.Again，in the modern world we use our brains a great deal.Even so，we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity(容量；能力)．As time goes on，however，we shall have to use our brains more and more，and eventually we shall need larger ones.This is likely to bring about a physical change too.The head，in particular the forehead，will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant(持续的)use.In fact，we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses.But over a long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand，we tend to make less use of our arms and legs.These，as a result，are likely to grow weaker.At the same time，however，our fingers will grow more sensitive(敏感的)because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in the course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.In the future，then，both sexes are likely to be bald(秃头的；秃顶的)．Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at.This may well be true.All the same，in spite of all these changes；future man will still have a lot in common with us.He will still be a human being，with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.【语篇解读】本文从身高、眼睛、大脑等几个方面对人类未来的外表做出一些预测。

Together with Shawn Roberts，she wrote a book that described the hidden costs of landmine use，such as the long-term effects of landmines.The landmines mean that people cannot travel or work nd goes unused，causing unemployment and poverty (贫穷)．There is also the huge cost of treating landmine victims (受害者)．Their efforts were rewarded in 1996，when a meeting hosted by the Canadian government agreed to write out an international treaty (条约) banning landmines.In December 1997，the treaty was signed，with the support of 122 countries.In five years，Jody Williams and the ICBL have achieved their goal of introducing a landmine ban.The Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee awarded Williams and the ICBL the Nobel Peace Prize in the same year.To date，more than 156 countries have signed the landmine ban treaty.61．Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?A．Jody Williams served during the war in Vietnam.B．Bobby Muller put forward the idea of banning landmines.C．Jody Williams is 62 years old now.D．122 countries signed the landmine ban treaty in 1997.62．Jody Williams’ book is about________.A．how to reduce the bad effects of landminesB．what the possible bad effects of landmines areC．how much it costs to remove the hidden landminesD．what the government can do to remove the hidden landmines63．An international treaty banning landmines was made in________.A．1991 B．1992 C．1996 D．199764.What’s the correct order of the following events?a．The International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) was officially set up.b．Bobby Muller called Williams to tell about his great idea.c．Over 156 countries signed the landmine ban treaty.d．Jody Williams received the Nobel Peace Prize.A．badc B．abcd C．bdac D．acbd65.What is the passage mainly about?A．How the ICBL was set up.B．Major achievements made by Jody Williams.C．Shawn Roberts’popular book.D．What we should do to get rid of landmines.CIn the 1940s，Lena Home was the first African-American in Hollywood to sign a long-term contract with a major movie studio.Her deal with MGM stated that she would never play the role of a servant.During this period，African-American actors were mostly limited to playing servants or African natives.But this refusal also limited her movie career.Home was generally only offered the role of a nightclub singer.Her characters did not interact with white characters in these movies.This way，her part could be cut from the version of the movie that played in Southern States.Lena Horne later wrote that the movie producers did not make her into a servant，but they did not make her into anything else，either.Lena Horne once said that World War Two helped make her a star.She was popular with both black and white servicemen.She sang on army radio programs and traveled to perform for the troops.During one event，she noted that German prisoners of war werepermitted to sit closer to the stage than black soldiers.These experiences led to Lena Horne’s work in the civil rights movement.She protested racial separation at the hotels where she performed.She took action so that she and her musicians would be permitted to stay in those hotels.Black musicians at the time generally stayed in black neighborhoods.Lena Horne also sang at civil rights gatherings.She took part in the March on Washington protest in 1963.It was during this event that Martin Luther King Junior gave his “I Have a Dream” speech.Lena Horne performed in a strong and expressive way.One expert said she was not warm and amiable like white female singers at the time.Instead，she was a fierce black woman.66．Lena Horne refused to play the role of a servant probably because she thought playing such a role________.A．would make her homesickB．wouldn’t make her famousC．meant she wasn’t treated fairlyD．wouldn’t help her make money67．From Paragraph 2，we know that Lena Home’s deal with MGM________.A．won her a lot of respectB．didn’t bring her any good rolesC．made her popular in the USD．made her become a famous singer68．When Lena Horne saw how German prisoners and black soldiers were seated，how did she most probably feel?A．Angry.

have no registered (注册的) male teachers，the General Teaching Council for England (GTC) said，though the numbers have dropped by 130 schools this year.GTC chief executive Alan Meyrick said：“These figures suggest little change in the long-term imbalance between the numbers of men and women，both in the profession as a whole and in school leadership roles.”Previous government statistics have shown that a third (32%) of men working in primary and nursery schools are in senior leadership roles，compared to 16% of women.Mr Meyrick added：“We need to attract teachers and choose tomorrow’s leaders from the widest possible pool，including both men and women，so that children can benefit from the greatest talent and experience.”Education Secretary Michael Gove said more men are needed in teaching to provide youngsters with male role models.In a speech he said：“We need more male teachers—especially in primary schools—to provide children，who often lack male role models at home，with male authority figures who can display both strength and sensitivity (灵敏)．”Mr Gove added that the government’s plans to start a “troops to teachers” programme，aimed at turning members of the army into teachers，will help increase the numbers of male role models in schools.71.According to the passage，________primary schools in the UK had no registered men teachers last year.A．about 4130 B．about 3870C．about 1280 D．about 64072．What would be the best title for the text?A．Men missing in primary schoolsB．Women missing in leadership rolesC．More teachers needed in primary schoolsD．Men teachers are more popular in

the passage that________.A．the number of men entering schools is reducing in the UKB．in UK primary schools men teachers are mainly needed for students’ developmentC．in UK primary schools there are more men leaders than men teachersD．the number of men teachers in school leadership roles is increasing第Ⅱ卷(非选择题，共45分)第四部分：书面表达(共两节，满分45分)第一节阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)[1]Electronic books have changed the

continuously.And the online textbooks can change right along with the events that are happening.Besides，digital books also cost less than printed textbooks.”[4]Peter Noonan says，“Usually it’s from 50 to 70 dollars to buy a textbook for each student，which adds up to roughly 8,000,000 dollars for all of our students in Fairfax County.We actually have purchased all of the online textbooks for our students for just under 6,000,000 dollars.”[5]So what do students think？Melanie Reuter says，“I don’t have to carry a textbook around，so that’s nice.” Maria Stephany says，“I____________because the
