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

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

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.

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.

To give a brief introduction to the history of New York.DIn my opinion between persons of equal income, there is no social difference except that of achievements and value. 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.

]BThe mom had died when the rescuers found her after the terrible earthquake.She was covered by a destroyed house.Through gaps(缝隙) of those ruins,the rescuers could see her last posture(姿势).It was something like an ancient person who was kowtowing(叩头),but it just looked strange because she was out of shape by pressure.The rescuers confirmed her death by touching her through the gaps of the ruins.They shouted at the ruins again and again,knocked the bricks using various tools,but no reply inside.Then the rescuing team went to the next building.Suddenly the leader ran back,calling“Come here.”He came to the body,put his hands under the woman,feeling and touching,then shouted loudly and gladly,“There is someone,a baby,still living.”Through some efforts,rescuers cleaned up the ruins which blocked her.Under her body lay her baby,who was covered by a small red quilt(棉被).He was about 3 or 4months' old.Since well protected by his mother's body,he was safe.He was in a deep sleep when the rescuer carried him out,and his lovely and peaceful face warmed everyone around him.The doctor,along with the rescuing team,took the baby out of the quilt to check if the baby was all right,and he found there was a mobile phone in the quilt.The doctor looked at the screen;a written message was already there:“My dear baby if you could live,don't forget how much I love you.”As a doctor,he experienced much of this type of separation;but at this moment,he cried.The mobile phone was passed,and every person who saw this message shed(流出) tears.【语篇解读】本文讲述了母爱的伟大。
