After breakfast we had arranged，as a surprise，to hire a car and take her for a beautiful drive in the country.Mother was rarely able to have a treat like that，because she was busy in the house nearly all the time.But on the very morning of the day，we changed the plan a little，because it occurred to father that it would be even better to take mother fishing.As the car was hired and paid for，we might as well use it to drive up into the hills where the streams are.As father said，if you just go driving without object，you have a sense of aimlessness，but if you are going to fish there is a definite purpose that heightens the enjoyment.So we all felt it would be nicer for mother to have a definite purpose.Father had just got a fishing rod the day before，which he said mother could use if she wanted to.Only mother said she would much rather watch him fish than try to fish herself.So we got her to make up a sandwich lunch in case we got hungry，though we were to come home again to a big festive dinner.Well，when the car came to the door，it turned out that there was not as much space in it as w e had supposed.It was plain that we couldn’t all get in.Father said that he could just stay home and put in the time working in the garden.He said that there was a lot of rough dirty work that he could do，like digging a trench for the garbage，which would save hiring a man，and so he said that he’d stay at home; he said that we were not to let the fact that he had not had a real holiday for three years stand in our way.He wanted us to go right ahead and not to mind him.But of course we all felt that it would never do to let father stay home，especially as we knew he would make trouble if he did.The two girls，Anne and Mary，would have stayed and helped the maid get dinner，only it seemed such a pity，for the two girls were eager to show their new hats on a lovely day like this.But they said that mother had only to say the word and they’d gladly stay at home and work.Will and I would have dropped out，but unfortunately we wouldn’t have been any use in preparing the dinner.1．The author’s family decided to celebrate Mother’s Day specially to ________.A．show love for their motherB．show gratitude to their motherC．show respect for their motherD．to make up for a previous appointment2．According to Paragraph 2，we know that the plan was changed because ________.A．father proposed to go fishing outB．we thought that driving out is boringC．we failed to hire a car to go outD．the car was not big enough3．What problem did we find when the car arrived?A．The car was too old to drive on mountain roads.B．The car was larger than we expected.C．The car was too small to accommodate us all.D．The car was too plain looking.4．Why didn’t the author drop out of the activity?A．Because his sisters didn’t join in.B．Because he needed to have dinner.C．Because he couldn’t cook the dinne r.D．Because he hadn’t had a real holiday for three years.5．Which of the following proverbs describes the text best?A．Everything comes to him who waits.B．Changes always go beyond plans.C．Better late than never.D．Once on shore，one prays no more.B(2015·广东茂名高三模拟)Kids undergo a large amount ofpressure and stress during their school exams，which can oftenbecome quite overwhelming for them.It may be the first experienceof stress，at this level，they have ever experienced and therefore quite frightening.Yes，you may say that it’s all a part of growing up and therefore good lessons for them to learn，and to an extent I agree with you.However，it’s important to learn how to prepare for life’s challenges so that they aren’t overwhelming or scary and so that we are able to manage them the best we can.Here are some tips you can use during your kids exam time.Break their revision plan down into small parts.Doing this will help transform what once seemed like a huge impossible task into a more manageable one.Help them arrange properly so that the subjects they like the least (perhaps ones that require more time and effort) are worked on first; once they are out of the way，it will help reduce the worry.Plan week on week to make sure they are on track.Ticking items of a list each week will help them to feel good about themselves and their progress.Create rewards for all the ticks—a favourite TV programme，a delicious snack，an hour’s surfing the Internet，computer games or whatever it was that they enjoy the most.This will encourage them to carry on and make them feel good.Think of strategies on how to deal with exams calmly so their anxieties don’t get_the_better_of them.Talk about times in their lives when they had been successful at something and look at the qualities they used to get them there—determination，persistence，hard work，patience，positivity，dedication—discuss how they can apply these skills to their exams.Acknowledge that if they do their best that is good enough.Ensure they realize that this period in their lives will pass and that exams are only a temporary time in their lives; nothing can and does last forever.Ensure they keep their eye on the prize：enjoying their long summer holiday when the exams are finished; giving them something to look forward to will help to motivatethem and provide a positive end in sight.6．According to Paragraph 1，it’s important to learn how to prepare for exams because ________.A．it is a part of growing upB．it is the first experience of stressC．it helps kid release stress and do betterD．it is important to get a good mark in exams7．Which subjects should be worked on first?A．Their best ones.B．Their favourite ones.C．The easiest ones.D．The most difficult ones.8．The underlined expression “get the better of” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ________.A．defeat B．worryC．keep sb.calm D．make sb.feel better9．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?A．Kid should become aware of the importance of exams.B．Kids should learn to deal with exam pressure independently.C．Parents should keep their kids away from entertainment.D．Parents should care about the psychological development of children.10．Who are the intended readers of the passage?A．Kids. B．Parents.C．Educators. D．People in general.Ⅴ.阅读填空(2015·娄底高中名校高三联考)With its fascinating and artistic accompanying music，singing and costumes，the Peking Opera is China’s national opera.Full of Chinese cultural facts，the opera presents the audience with an encyclopedia(百科全书)of Chinese culture，as well as developing stories，beautiful paintings，magnificent costumes，graceful gestures and martial arts.Since Peking Opera enjoys a higher reputation than other local operas，almost every province in China has more than one Peking Opera Troupe.Opera is so popular among Chinese people，especially seniors，that even “Peking Opera Month” has been declared.Peking Opera’s main tune originated from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei and，over time，techniques from many other local operas were incorporated into Peking Opera.It is believed that Peking Opera gradually came into being after 1790 when the famous four Anhui Opera Troupes came to Beijing.Peking Opera experienced fast development during the period of Emperor Qianlong and the infamous Empress Cixi，eventually becoming more accessible to the common people.In ancient times，Peking Opera was performed mostly on stage in the open air，teahouses or temple courtyards.Since the orchestra played loudly，the performers developed a sharp style of singing.The costumes were a gorgeous collection of sharply contrasting colors to stand out on the stage lighted only by oil lamps.Peking Operais a harmonious combination of the Grand Opera，ballet and acrobatics (杂技)，consisting of dance，dialogue and martial arts.The Peking Opera band mainly consists of an orchestra and percussion(打击乐器)band.The former frequently accompanies peaceful scenes while the latter provides the right atmosphere for battle scenes.The orchestral instruments include the Erhu，Huqin，Yueqin，Sheng，Pipa and other instruments.The band usually sits on the left side of the stage.Ⅵ.阅读简答(2015·长沙模拟)Life on earth depends on water, and there is no substitute for it. The current assumption is that our basic needs for water—whether for drinking, agriculture, industry or the raising of fish will always have to be met. Given that premise(前提), there are two basic routes we can go: more access to water or more engineering solutions (more dams, for instance)．Looking at the engineering solution first, a lot of my research concentrates on what happens to wetlands when you build dams in river basins, particularly in Africa. The ecology of such areas is almost entirely driven by the seasonal regime of the river, or rather, the pulse of the water. And the fact is that if you build a dam, you generally spoil the down stream ecology. In the past, such problems have been hidden by a lack of information. But in the next century, governments will have no excuse for their ignorance. The engineers ability to control water flows has created new kinds of unpredictability. Dams in Africa have meant fewer fish, less grazing and less agriculture—none of which were expected.The challenge for the next century is to find new means of controlling water. Although GM technology will allow us to breed better dry－land crops, there is nomarket stimulation for companies to develop crops suitable for the micro－climates of the Sahel and elsewhere in Africa. Who is going to pay for research on locally appropriate crops in the Third World?This brings us to the key issue in any discussion of water: money. In the next century, just consider the problems of water supply in Mexico City or Delhi. If you’re rich, you drink mineral water and may even have a swimming pool—yet millions in such cities can’t get safe drinking water. People talk about the coming water crisis.I believe we have one now. It is a water crisis for the poor.1．According to the passage, what are the two ways to solve the problem of water crisis？(No more than 8 words)________________________________________________________________________ 2．What will happen when dams are built in river basins in Africa？(No more than 6 words)________________________________________________________________________ 3．Why are companies not willing to develop locally appropriate crops for the Third World？(No more than 6 words)________________________________________________________________________ 4．What is the tone of the passage？(1 words)________________________________________________________________________模块2课后达标检测4Ⅰ.单项填空1．解析：选A。

单元检测（十三）EuropeⅠ.阅读理解AOur new house in Venice is by the side of the little San Cassian canal and a small square of the same name. We have a door which leads onto the street and two entrances from the water. One runs under a rounded arch (拱门) into the ground floor of the house, which, as is customary in the city, is used instead of a cellar (地下室) for storing things. The second is used for our business activities and it is located in another building which has three floors.The house is almost 200 years old. It has beautiful arched windows and green-painted shutters (百叶窗) to keep out the cruel summer heat. When I lie in bed at night, I can hear the songs of the passing gondoliers (威尼斯小划船船夫) and the conversations in the square nearby. I understand why Uncle Leo runs his business here. The prices are not too high. The location of the house is near the city centre and easy to find. Besides, the printing trade has many roots in this area of Venice, even if some of the old publishers from the area are no longer there.Venice is like a large copy of our old library at home in Spain, full of dark corners and unexpected surprises, some very close to me. Last night, while searching in the corners of the house, I found a single copy of Aristotle's Poetics, published in the city in 1502. I raced to Uncle Leo with my discovery and a smile almost appeared on his face. “A find, boy! This'll fetch good money when I sell it down in the market.”“May I read a little first, sir？”I asked, feeling worried. Leo has a frightening manner at times.“Books are for selling, not reading，” he replied immediately. But at least I had it for the night, since the dealers were by that time closed.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。

The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced theMediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.“Storm at Sea”，a short poem written around 700，is generally regarded as one of mankind's earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.When the w ind is from the w estAll the w a v es that cannot restTo the east must thunder onWhere the bright tree of the sunIs rooted in the ocean's breast.As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling.It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in mid－ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics (模仿) nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences, too；unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike，mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony，giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub ocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild；always it is strong and striking.语篇解读：本文为一篇夹叙夹议文。
