模塊綜合測(cè)評(píng) (時(shí)間：100分鐘，滿(mǎn)分：120分) Ⅰ.閱讀理解(共15小題；每小題2分，滿(mǎn)分30分) A Do you suppose Darwin，one of the greatest scientists of all times，really did fools experiments? Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish? Sometimes，people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution to a problem.Sometimes，they really do know an answer or a solution，but without thinking they are important. Charles Darwin didnt settle for(滿(mǎn)足于)just thinking he knew something.And，he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be. Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape.If you drop them at the same time in the same place，they will fall in the same way.Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets.What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldnt be worth anything. But this simple experiment is important.It explains part of our present day understandings of physics，ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton.And these understandings set_aside some of ancient Greek physics. Scientists sometime stop to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them.Even the simplest idea，which we might think is foolish，can shake the foundations of science. 【語(yǔ)篇解讀】　有些問(wèn)題的答案人們已經(jīng)知曉，但人們沒(méi)有想過(guò)這個(gè)問(wèn)題是多么重要。偉大的科學(xué)家Charles Darwin常通過(guò)做實(shí)驗(yàn)來(lái)弄懂事情的來(lái)龍去脈。 1．The passage tells us that Charles Darwin________. A．was a great English scientist B．a(chǎn)lways liked doing the experiments that others thought difficult C．thought even the simplest thing was important D．didnt get well with others 【解析】　短文并沒(méi)有說(shuō)Charles Darwin是哪個(gè)國(guó)家的科學(xué)家，可排除A；由文章可知?jiǎng)e人認(rèn)為Darwin的許多實(shí)驗(yàn)不值得做，可把B排除；文中沒(méi)有論述Darwin與別人相處的事情，可排除D。由第三段第二句中“he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be”可推出答案C。 【答案】　C 2．The underlined phrase “set aside” most probably means“________”． A．throw away　　　　 B．store up C．put to use D．realize 【解析】　由上文可知作者認(rèn)為做這個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單實(shí)驗(yàn)是重要的，它解釋了目前人們對(duì)于物理方面的理解。因此這些理解當(dāng)然是推翻了一些希臘古典物理學(xué)的觀點(diǎn)。由此可推知set aside與throw away同義。 【答案】　A 3．The author of the passage tries to________. A．convince us that Charles Darwin，Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists in the world B．draw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple things C．prove that two sheets of paper，with the same size and shape，will fall at the same speed D．draw our attention to everyday happenings around us 【解析】　短文的最后一段點(diǎn)明最簡(jiǎn)單的事情都可能動(dòng)搖科學(xué)的根基，意在告訴讀者要留意身邊的每一件事，哪怕它非常簡(jiǎn)單。 【答案】　D B The Nobel Prize was founded by Alfred Nobel.Since 1901，it has been honoring men and women from all corners of the globe for outstanding achievements in physics，chemistry，medicine，literature，and for work in peace. Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm，Sweden，on October 21,1833.He was very interested in social and peacerelated issues.After inventing dynamite (炸藥)，Swedishborn Alfred Nobel became a very rich man.However，he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late.Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite，so in 1895，just two weeks before his death，he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind.Originally there were five awards: literature，physics，chemistry，medicine，and peace.Economics was added in 1968，just sixtyseven years after the first award ceremony. Nobels original legacy (遺產(chǎn))of nine million dollars was invested，and the interest on this sum is used for the awards，which vary from D|S30,000 to D|S125,000. Every year on December 10，the anniversary of Nobels death，the awards (gold medal，illuminated diploma，and money)are presented to the winners.Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges decision.Americans have won numerous science awards，but relatively few literature (文學(xué))prizes. No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War Ⅱ.Some people have won two prizes，but this is rare；others have shared prizes. 【語(yǔ)篇解讀】　諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)創(chuàng)立于1901年，它是根據(jù)瑞典著名化學(xué)家、甘油炸藥的發(fā)明人阿爾弗雷德貝恩哈德諾貝爾的遺囑以其部分遺產(chǎn)作為基金創(chuàng)立的。本文介紹了諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)的創(chuàng)立、發(fā)展及其獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)設(shè)立的一些情況。 4．When did the first award ceremony take place? A．1895.　　　　　　 B．1901. C．1962.　　 D．1968. 【解析】　從第二段最后一句“Economics was added in 1968，just sixtyseven years after the first award ceremony.”可計(jì)算出，第一次頒發(fā)諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)是在1901年。 【答案】　B 5．Why was the Nobel Prize established? A．To recognize worthwhile contributions to humanity. B．To resolve political differences. C．To honor the inventor of dynamite. D．To spend money. 【解析】　從第二段倒數(shù)第三句“...he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind.”可知設(shè)獎(jiǎng)的初衷。 【答案】　A 6．In which area have Americans received the most awards? A．Literature. B．Peace. C．Economics. D．Science. 【解析】　從第四段最后一句“Americans have won numerous science awards，but relatively few literature(文學(xué))prizes.”可知，美國(guó)在科學(xué)領(lǐng)域獲諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)最多。 【答案】　D 7. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A．Awards vary in monetary value. B．Ceremonies are held one December 10 to commemorate Nobels invention. C．Politics can play an important role in selecting the winners. D．A few individuals have won two awards. 【解析】　從第二段可知，頒發(fā)諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)是為了獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)人類(lèi)做出的貢獻(xiàn)的人，不是為了紀(jì)念諾貝爾本人的發(fā)明。 【答案】　B C　　　　 【導(dǎo)學(xué)號(hào)：98180053】 When I saw a big handmade signboard“Welcome Yu Xin”at the airport，I knew I had found a caring family at the other side of the world—the United States. My host mom had already decorated(裝飾)my room for me.There was a doll on one side of the room，and a bookcase full of books on the other—they had heard I loved reading.Mom had also prepared a keyboard for me，since she knew that I played the piano. My life in the family did not go so well at first.Because I am the only child in my family in China，I was not used to having two younger kids—Zachary and Grace—running around me yelling(大喊大叫)all the time. Mom had a serious talk with me about this problem on a Sunday afternoon.She told me，“You cant just come home from school everyday，go to your room and do your homework.You need to be a part of this family.You need to play with my kids for at least an hour.”This rule was very annoying at first.I did not have much experience playing with children. However，the more time I spent with the kids，the more I grew to love them.We played games and read books together.I even taught them Chinese.Thanks to moms rule，I began to feel like I was really part of the family. Mom also inspired me to live a healthier life.She got up early every morning to go running.On weekends，she took the whole family to visit parks or go camping. I did not like sports much when I was back home，but now I love to join all kinds of sports.I am healthier and more confident too. With my American family，I found joy and laughter.I learned to live with energy and optimism(樂(lè)觀)，thanks to the care and responsibility of my loving American parents. 【語(yǔ)篇解讀】　本文介紹了作者在美國(guó)寄宿家庭的生活，由于他們的關(guān)心和照顧，作者的思想也發(fā)生了變化。 8．The passage is mainly about________. A．the cultural differences Yu Xin experienced in America B．how Yu Xin learned to get along with younger kids in America C．how much Yu Xins caring host family in America changed her D．various difficulties Yu Xin met in America 【解析】　本文是一篇記敘文，介紹了作者在美國(guó)寄宿家庭的生活，由于他們的關(guān)心和照顧，作者的思想也發(fā)生了變化。 【答案】　C 9．From Paragraph 2，we can see that________. A．the host mom tried hard to make Yu Xin feel at home B．the host mom was good at decorating rooms C．Yu Xin was fond of American dolls D．Yu Xin kept busy with a lot of hobbies 【解析】　根據(jù)文章第二段可知寄宿家庭的母親為作者裝飾了房間，準(zhǔn)備了裝滿(mǎn)書(shū)的書(shū)柜，還為作者準(zhǔn)備了鍵盤(pán)樂(lè)器，可推斷A為正確選項(xiàng)。 【答案】　A 10．What led Yu Xin to feel like she was really part of the family? A．Yu Xins talks with her host parents. B．Having to join in sports with the family. C．The host moms rule about playing with the kids. D．Enjoying weekends with the host family. 【解析】　根據(jù)文章第四段“You need to be a part of this family.You need to play with my kids for at least an hour.”可知C為正確選項(xiàng)。 【答案】　C 11．Which of the following words can best describe the host mom? A．Caring and responsible. B．Strict and patient. C．Rude and demanding. D．Selfish but healthy. 【解析】　根據(jù)文章最后一句話(huà)可知A為正確選項(xiàng)。 【答案】　A D Scientists at Royal Holloway，University of London and Queen Mary，University of London have discovered that bees learn to fly the shortest possible route between flowers even if they discover the flowers in a different order.Bees are effectively solving the “traveling salesman problem”，and they are the first creatures found to do this. The traveling salesman must find the shortest route that allows him to visit all locations on his route.Computers solve it by comparing the length of all possible routes and choosing the shortest，and it can keep computers busy for days.However，bees solve it without computer assistance using a brain the size of grass seed.Dr.Nigel Raine，from the School of Biological Sciences at Royal Holloway explains，“Bees solve traveling salesman problems every day.They visit flowers at multiple locations and because bees use lots of energy to fly，they find a route which keeps flying to a minimum.” The team used the computer to control artificial flowers to test whether bees would follow a route defined by the order in which they discovered the flowers or if they would find the shortest route.After exploring the location of the flowers，bees quickly learned to fly the shortest route. As well as improving our understanding of how bees move around the landscape pollinating (授粉)crops and wild flowers，this research，which is due to be published in The American Naturalist，has other applications.Our lifestyle relies on networks such as traffic on the roads，information flow on the Web and business supply chains.By understanding how bees can solve their problems with such a tiny brain，we can improve our management of these everyday networks without needing lots of computer time.Dr.Raine adds，“Despite their tiny brains，bees are capable of extraordinary feats of behavior.We need to understand how they can solve the traveling salesman problem without a computer.” 【語(yǔ)篇解讀】　英國(guó)的科學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)，蜜蜂在花叢中飛行時(shí)，總是能夠找到最近的路線(xiàn)，這個(gè)“銷(xiāo)售員旅行難題”即使用電腦也需要好幾天才能解決。 12．What would be the best title of the passage? A．Bees help salesmen travel B．Tiny brained bees solve a complex mathematical problem C．How bees discover the flowers D．How to solve the “traveling salesman problem” 【解析】　“銷(xiāo)售員旅行難題”用計(jì)算機(jī)也需要好幾天才能解決，而蜜蜂毫不費(fèi)力地就能在花叢中找到最近的飛行路線(xiàn)，故B項(xiàng)“具有微小大腦的蜜蜂解決復(fù)雜的數(shù)學(xué)難題”作為文章的標(biāo)題最貼切。 【答案】　B 13．We may infer from the second paragraph that the “traveling salesman problem”________． A．can be solved by a computer easily B．cant even be solved by a computer C．can puzzle both people and computers D．remains to be solved by scientists 【解析】　根據(jù)第二段可知，銷(xiāo)售員在出發(fā)之前必須找到合適的路線(xiàn)，這個(gè)“銷(xiāo)售員旅行難題”即使用電腦也需要好幾天才能解決。 【答案】　C 14．The main purpose of the last paragraph is to________. A．provide further proof for the research B．tell us how bees can fly the shortest route between flowers C．tell us how the research about bees flying route was conducted D．explain the importance of the research 【解析】　最后一段說(shuō)明了蜜蜂飛行路線(xiàn)研究的意義和目的，是為了幫助我們?cè)趯?shí)際生活中更好地節(jié)省時(shí)間和精力。 【答案】　D 15．It can be concluded from the passage that ________. A．a(chǎn)ll creatures are smarter than computers B．the research about bees flying route can be applied to many fields C．our networks are more complex than bees ones D．with the help of the computer we can find out how bees can solve the “traveling salesman problem” 【解析】　根據(jù)最后一段可以推斷出對(duì)蜜蜂飛行路線(xiàn)的研究可以應(yīng)用到其他領(lǐng)域中。 【答案】　B Ⅱ.閱讀填句(共5小題；每小題2分，滿(mǎn)分10分) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 How to Become a Top Student Successful students use different techniques(技巧)to study，which brings them more success.__16__Here are the four techniques almost all topperforming students use.
