模块综合测评.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)ACharles Babbage was born in 1791 in Britain.He was in poor health in his youth so he had to be educated at home.His mother worried about his health and she was advised that he should not be taught too much.However, the boy showed an early interest in mathematics and worked hard at it.Later he was accepted by Cambridge University.Babbage began to work on a small difference engine(差分机)in 1819, which in a very short period of time could work out mathematical tables by itself.He released it in 1822.In 1827 he became a professor of mathematics and began his lifelong work on computing machines.He worked selflessly.As a matter of fact, he often spent his own money on his invention. In 1834，he invented the Analytical Machine which is the prototype(原型)of a computer.This was a great achievement.He devoted a lot of wealth and energy to his invention, but he never produced a real computer.Finally in 1871 he died peacefully.However, his principles are still those on which modern computers are built.As a result, he is remembered as the “grandfather of computing”【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了计算机之父Babbage的故事：他自小身体不好，但酷爱数学，在家自学并被剑桥大学录取。此后他任数学教授，并把他的毕生精力都投入到发明创造上。1We can learn from the passage that_.ABabbage grew up in a poor familyBBabbages mother was a teacherCBabbage was admitted to a universityDBabbages teachers disliked him【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Later he was accepted by Cambridge University.”可知，Babbage被剑桥大学录取。故 C 项正确，其他各项文中均未提及。【答案】C2How long did Charles Babbage work on the difference engine?AThree years.B Five years.CEight years.DFifteen years.【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Babbage began to work on a small difference engine(差分机)in 1819”和第二句“He released it in 1882”可推知，研究差分机的工作他进行了三年。故 A项正确。【答案】A3The writer mentions the fact “he often spent his own money on his invention” to show that_.Athe invention needed a lot of moneyBit was hard to invent a computerCnobody supported Babbage at that timeDBabbage devoted a lot to the invention【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段倒数第四句“He devoted a lot of wealth and energy to his invention.”可知，他为创造发明奉献了许多。故 D项正确。【答案】D4Paragraph 2 is mainly about _.ABaggages personal lifeBBaggages achievementChow Baggage invented the computerDhow computer came into being【解析】段落大意题。根据本段最后一句“.he is remembered as the grandfather of computing”和倒数第五句“This was a great achievement.”可知，本段主要介绍了他的成就。故 B项正确。【答案】BBI have often been considered strange when I tell people that I want to be a writer, because for most people, or at least teenagers in my geographic location, see writing as a difficulty.The reason why I want to be a writer is that writing gives me the power to create worlds and people out of nothing.We can create a picture in a few minutes with our minds.We have the power to influence others, even people weve never met!I have always wondered if it is the same thing that drives me, as a writer, as what drives video game creators or directors.We are all creating something out of nothing.The thing that is so amazing about writers is that we create something out of tools that dont cost more than a dollar (a piece of paper and a pencil)For writers it is all in our head.Our wonderful brain is our tool. Some people have this simple way of writing that can sweep us off our feet.Those who have this gift often do not see the beauty in it.It is sad really.Writing is such a basic element(元素)in our society that many take advantages of it and dont realize its greatness.It takes someone from the inside to understand and admire the art of putting words together to form a sentence; it sounds so simple and yet there is so much more to it than meets the eye.Being a writer is a wonderful thingsomething that is gifted to all of us who have the ability to form sentences on paper.Being a good writer or even great writer is the hard part.Oh! And dont even get me started on being a published writer.5Why do most people think “I” to be strange when hearing “I want to be a writer”？ABecause they consider writing as a difficulty.BBecause writing isnt popular with the locals.CBecause writers are very crazy and strange.DBecause people cant make money by writing.【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“.because for most people.see writing as a difficulty.”可知，答案为A项。【答案】A6For the writer, what is the most important tool for writing? AA pencil.BWonderful brain.CA piece of paper.DA computer.【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“For writers it is all in our head.Our wonderful brain is our tool，”可知，答案为B项。【答案】B7In which part of a website may the passage appear?AEntertainment.BHobby.CLife.DEducation.【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段首句中的“.I tell people that I want to be a writer.”可知，该篇文章所讲述的内容是有关爱好的。故选B项。【答案】A8Which is the best possible title of the passage?ABeing a writerBA strange personCA cheap careerDOur wonderful brain【解析】主旨大意题，全文讲述了作者想要把写作作为自己事业的原因。故选A项。【答案】ACThe earth is the only planet that scientists think has life.Why does the earth have life while the other planets dont? For one thing, the earth is just the right temperature.As the_third_planet from the sun，the earth seems to be just the right distance away.The planets which are closer to the sun are so hot that their surfaces bake(烘烤)in the sun.The farthest planets are cold balls.When the earth developedwhich scientists believe may have happened about 4 billion years agomany gases covered the earth.The gases caused the earth to be hot.But something wonderful happened.The temperature was just right for thick clouds to form.It rained very hard for a very long time.This gave the earth its oceans.Water made it possible for plants to grow.The plants created oxygen in the atmosphere.Oxygen is the gas that humans and animals breathe.Only one other planet in the solar system seems to be something like the earth.That planet is Mars (火星)Mars is smaller than the earth，and it is quite a bit cooler.But it is not too cold for humans.On some days, the temperatures are as low as a winter day in the northern United States.If you wore a special spacesuit, you could walk around on Mars.You would have to bring your own air to breathe，because the air on Mars is too thin to breathe.Mars has the largest volcano(火山)in the solar system.It is sixteen miles high.The highest volcano on the earth is five miles high.The most unexpected(未预料到的)sight on Mars is driedup river beds.Scientists believe that Mars was once much better than it is now.Does this mean there could have been living things on Mars? Scientists are not sure, but there has been no sign so far.【语篇解读】文章介绍了地球存在生命的原因以及火星的情况。9Which of the following is NOT the reason that the earth has life?AThe earth is just the right temperature.BThe volcanos on the earth are lower than those on Mars.CThere is oxygen in the atmosphere of the earth.DThe earth seems to be just the right distance away from the sun.【解析】细节理解题。文中提到地球是可证实的唯一有生命存在的太阳系行星，其原因包括地球温度合适、距太阳距离适中和大气里含有氧气等。B项火山与此无关。【答案】B10The underlined phrase“the third planet”in the first paragraph refers to_.Athe SunBthe MoonCthe EarthDthe Mars【解析】词义猜测题。根据第一段中内容可知距离太阳第三远的行星指的是地球。【答案】C11Which of the following about the Mars is NOT true?AThere could have been living things on Mars.BMars has the largest volcano in the solar system.CThere is almost no oxygen in the air on Mars.DMars is smaller than the earth，and it is quite a bit cooler.【解析】细节理解题。文章最后一段提到火星上有干涸的河床的迹象，但这一点并不能证实火星上存在生命，因为还没有生命迹象，故A项不正确。其他三项都与文章相符。【答案】AD(2016北京高考)California Condors Shocking RecoveryCalifornia condorCalifornia condors are North Americas largest birds, with winglength of up to 3 meters.In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning(铅中毒) nearly drove them to dying out.Now, electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds.In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred(繁殖)Since 1992, there have been multiple reintroductions to the wild, and there are now more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona，Utah and Baja in Mexico.Electrical lines have been killing them off.“As they go in to rest for the night, they just dont see the power lines，” says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo.Their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution (电死) if they touch two lines at once.So scientists have come up with a shocking idea.Tall poles，placed in large training areas，teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock.Before the training was introduced,66% of setfree birds died of electrocution.This has now dropped to 18%.Lead poisoning has proved more difficult to deal with.When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead，they absorb large quantities of lead.This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney(肾) failure and death.So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days.This work is starting to pay off.The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011.Rideouts team thinks that the California condors average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years.“Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital for now，” he says.“They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。美国加利福尼亚秃鹰由于触电和铅中毒而濒临灭绝，研究人员采取了一些办法来挽救秃鹰，从而使这一种群渐渐恢复了生机。12California condors attract researchers interest because they _.Aare active at nightBhad to be bred in the wildCare found only in CaliforniaDalmost died out in the 1980s【解析】推理判断题。根据第一、二段内容可知，20世纪80年代，由于触电和铅中毒，加利福尼亚州的秃鹰濒临灭绝，20世纪80年代末，仅剩的几只秃鹰从野外被带回繁殖，由此可推断正是秃鹰濒临灭绝才引起了研究人员的注意和兴趣，故选D项。【答案】D13Researchers have found electrical lines are _.Ablocking condors journey homeBbig killers of California condorsCrest places for condors at nightDused to keep condors away【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，电线一直在使秃鹰丧命，并且解释原因说，秃鹰晚上休息的时候看不见电线，而它们宽大的翅膀正好同时搭在两根电线上，于是它们立刻就被电死了，故选B项。【答案】B14According to Paragraph 5, lead poisoning _.Amakes condors too nervous to flyBhas little effect on condors kidneysCcan hardly be gotten rid of fromcondors bloodDmakes it difficult for condors to producebaby birds【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段内容可知，铅中毒影响了秃鹰的神经系统和繁殖能力(affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds)，并且可以导致它们肾衰竭和死亡，由此可知，A、B两项错误，D项正确。通过给秃鹰使用一种化学药物，在几天内就可以清除它们血液中的铅，由此可知，C项错误。【答案】D15This passage shows that _.Athe average survival time of condorsis satisfactoryBRideouts research interest lies inelectric engineeringCthe efforts to protect condors have brought good resultsDresearchers have found the final answers tothe problem【解析】推理判断题。本文主要介绍了美国加利福尼亚秃鹰濒临灭绝以及科研人员为挽救它们而展开的救援和研究工作，且实施措施有了回报(pay off)，由此可知，C项正确，排除B项。根据最后一段中的just under eight years可排除A项；根据these measures are not effective forever可排除D项。【答案】C.阅读填句(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。选项中有两项为多余选项。_16_You probably think you will never be a top student.This is not necessary, however.Anyone can become a better
