模块综合测评(一).阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AWeve colonised most of the world，but one vast stretch of the planet remains beyond our grasp: Antarctica.This frozen continent at the end of the earth has never been permanently occupied by man.Even if youre travelling there on a cruise ship，as most people do，the solitude(孤独)and the emptiness will envelop you.Not that solitude is the first thing that comes to mind when youre standing in the middle of a penguin colony on an Antarctic shoreline.When I visited in early February，there were thousands of birds packed tightly on every rock，both shy gentoo penguins and the bolder adlie penguins.They seemed happy to see us wandering among them; our cameras clicked crazily at the grey fluffball chicks who are tapping their parents beaks (鸟嘴) to be fed.But penguins are by no means the only stars of the show here.I found it equally exciting to see a wandering albatross (信天翁) circling above our ship，dipping its great wings into the rolling waters of the Drake Passage.Or fat elephant seals rest on the beach in a soup of algae (海藻)，shouting at each other like elderly members of a gentlemens club.Most exciting of all，though，were the whales.As the call went up from the bridge of our ship “Humpbacks！”we spotted three of them leaping from the water，their magnificent tails emerging and dipping as if in slow motion，so close that we could see their great heads，their eyes and blowholes.Just as vast and attractive are the icebergs.The glassy world of the Weddell Sea is a fantastic picture of icy skyscrapers stretching to the horizon. Some are whipped by wind and water into fantastical shapesoriental palaces，ruined fortresses，an Art Deco cinema.All of the above is exactly what makes a voyage here so extraordinary.A journey to Antarctica is a travel experience as special as you can have.【语篇解读】作者描述了自己到南极去的一次旅行经历，在作者的笔下南极的一切都充满了生机和活力。1We can infer from Paragraph 2 that penguins_.Aare mostly shyBare not afraid of humansCdislike the presence of humansDhide their chicks from humans【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段“They seemed happy to see us wandering among them.”可知，企鹅似乎对人类在周围徘徊感到高兴，说明他们一点也不惧怕人类。【答案】B2What is the most exciting in Antarctica，according to the author?APenguins.BThe whales.CThe icebergs.DElephant seals.【解析】细节理解题。从文章第四段第一句“Most exciting of all，though，were the whales.”可知，作者认为最令人激动的是见到鲸。【答案】B3Which of the following is TRUE about the icebergs?AThey lack attraction.BThey look cold and lifeless.CThey are huge and frightening.DThey are beautiful and in different shapes.【解析】细节理解题。从文章第五段可知，冰山形态各异、闪闪发光，它们在作者的笔下也显得生动而美丽。【答案】D4Where does the passage probably come from?AAn ad.BA news story.CA travel journal.DA research paper.【解析】推理判断题。综观全文，特别是文章最后一句“A journey to Antarctica is a travel experience as special as you can have.”可知，本文节选自游记。【答案】CBTwo explorers will attempt to set a world record for the longest ever polar expedition (探险) without outside support，travelling over 6,000 km in 100 days across Antarctica.Dixie Dansercoer, who crossed the southern continent in 1997，and 26yearold Sam Deltour aim to take advantage of the specific wind patterns around the continent to cover large distances using kites to help sail their heavy sleds (雪橇) across the ice and snow.This will allow them to travel up to 300 km in a day and an average of 60 km，to break the current world record of Norwegian Rune Gjeldnes who travelled 4,800 kilometers in 90 days five years ago.“It would be impossible if we had to pull the sleds all by ourselves，”Dansercoer，who will start his expedition on November 4，explained at a news conference on Tuesday.The pair will each have a sled weighing 190 kg，which will contain food supplies，tents，kites and scientific equipment.During their trip they will measure wind patterns and supply information about the quality of the ice they encounter to scientists studying climate change back in Belgium.As they will have no new supplies from the outside，the largest part of their luggage consists of frozen food to provide each of them with the crucial 5,000 calories needed each day to undertake such a physically challenging trip.For Deltour，being a polar explorer became his dream after he discovered a book about the first polar expeditions in his local library as a 12yearold.He said he was aware that exploration was no easy task.Dansercoer and Deltour plan to reach the South Pole around December 14,100 years to the day after Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen became the first to set foot there.Amundsen reached the South Pole in 1911.【语篇解读】两个探险家决定刷新南极探险的世界纪录，他们将用风筝作为他们的动力来源。5How will the two explorers travel?A. They will pull the sleds all by themselves.BThey will use kites to help pull the sleds.CThey will use kites instead of sleds.DThey will pull the sleds at first and use only kites later.【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段的“take advantage of the specific wind patterns around the continent to cover large distances using kites to help sail their heavy sleds(雪橇)”可知答案。【答案】B6We can learn from the passage that the two explorers_.Aboth have reached the South Pole beforeBhave people to help them along the journeyChave some scientific research tasks along the journeyDwill publicize their findings along the journey【解析】推理判断题。从第五段的“During their trip they will measure wind patterns and supply information about the quality of the ice they encounter to scientists studying climate change back in Belgium.”可知C项正确。【答案】C7To Sam Deltour，the upcoming travel to the South Pole is something that_.A. he is eager to doBhe is afraid ofChe has never expectedDhe has tried to avoid【解析】推理判断题。从第七段的“For Deltour，being a polar explorer became his dream after he discovered a book about the first polar expeditions in his local library as a 12yearold.”可知Deltour应该是很渴望实现自己的梦想。【答案】AC(2016全国甲卷) Whats On?Electric_Underground730pm1.00amFree at the Cyclops Theatre Do you know whos playing in your area?

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Butterfly gardens can be grown only in some parts of the US.BButterfly gardens must be large in size.CButterfly gardens should be in a sunny place.DButterfly gardens need to plant butterflyattracting plants only.【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段第一句的“full sun”可知，C项正确。根据第一段第一句可排除A项；根据第一段第三句可排除B项；根据第二段可排除D项。【答案】C13. Native butterflyattracting plants are better because_.Athey smell better to butterfliesBthey can adapt to the local regionCthey can grow faster and tallerDthey can be planted in a container【解析】细节理解题。由文章第三段第二句可知，本地的植物不需要太多的照料，因为它们能够自然地适应它们生长的环境。【答案】B14. Which seasons are suitable for planting butterfly gardens?ASpring and summer.BSummer and fall.CSummer and winter.DSpring and fall.【解析】细节理解题。由文章第四段可知，种植蝴蝶园的最佳季节是春季和秋季。【答案】D15. Which of the following is the correct order of a butterfly life cycle?aIt is born as an egg.bIt emerges as an adult.cA caterpillar hatches out.dA caterpillar pupates.AacdbBadcbCdacbDdcab【解析】事实排序题。由文章倒数第二段可知，蝴蝶的生命周期的正确顺序应为A项。【答案】A.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Attending college after high school isnt for everyone.If you are looking to explore your choices, check out these alternatives and they will help you make a decision that is right for you.Get a job.The responsibility of holding down a fulltime job is a good way for you to translate into adulthood, not to mention its a financial necessity._16_Start a business.Have you always been an entrepreneur (企业家)？_17_The trick is finding your position and pursuing it.
