模块综合测评(时间：100分钟，满分：120分).阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)ADo 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(满足于)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.【语篇解读】有些问题的答案人们已经知晓，但人们没有想过这个问题是多么重要。伟大的科学家Charles Darwin常通过做实验来弄懂事情的来龙去脉。1The passage tells us that Charles Darwin_.Awas a great English scientistBalways liked doing the experiments that others thought difficultCthought even the simplest thing was importantDdidnt get well with others【解析】短文并没有说Charles Darwin是哪个国家的科学家，可排除A；由文章可知别人认为Darwin的许多实验不值得做，可把B排除；文中没有论述Darwin与别人相处的事情，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】C2The underlined phrase “set aside” most probably means“_”Athrow awayBstore upCput to useDrealize【解析】由上文可知作者认为做这个简单实验是重要的，它解释了目前人们对于物理方面的理解。因此这些理解当然是推翻了一些希腊古典物理学的观点。由此可推知set aside与throw away同义。【答案】A3The author of the passage tries to_.Aconvince us that Charles Darwin，Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists in the worldBdraw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple thingsCprove that two sheets of paper，with the same size and shape，will fall at the same speedDdraw our attention to everyday happenings around us【解析】短文的最后一段点明最简单的事情都可能动摇科学的根基，意在告诉读者要留意身边的每一件事，哪怕它非常简单。【答案】DBThe 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 (炸药)，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 (遗产)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 (文学)prizes.No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War .Some people have won two prizes，but this is rare；others have shared prizes.【语篇解读】诺贝尔奖创立于1901年，它是根据瑞典著名化学家、甘油炸药的发明人阿尔弗雷德贝恩哈德诺贝尔的遗嘱以其部分遗产作为基金创立的。本文介绍了诺贝尔奖的创立、发展及其奖项设立的一些情况。4When did the first award ceremony take place?A1895.B1901.C1962.D1968.【解析】从第二段最后一句“Economics was added in 1968，just sixtyseven years after the first award ceremony.”可计算出，第一次颁发诺贝尔奖是在1901年。【答案】B5Why was the Nobel Prize established?ATo recognize worthwhile contributions to humanity.BTo resolve political differences.CTo honor the inventor of dynamite.DTo spend money.【解析】从第二段倒数第三句“.he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind.”可知设奖的初衷。【答案】A6In which area have Americans received the most awards?ALiterature.BPeace.CEconomics.DScience.【解析】从第四段最后一句“Americans have won numerous science awards，but relatively few literature(文学)prizes.”可知，美国在科学领域获诺贝尔奖最多。【答案】D7. Which of the following statements is NOT true?AAwards vary in monetary value.BCeremonies are held one December 10 to commemorate Nobels invention.CPolitics can play an important role in selecting the winners.DA few individuals have won two awards.【解析】从第二段可知，颁发诺贝尔奖是为了奖励人类做出的贡献的人，不是为了纪念诺贝尔本人的发明。【答案】BC 【导学号：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 worldthe United States.My host mom had already decorated(装饰)my room for me.There was a doll on one side of the room，and a bookcase full of books on the

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.”【语篇解读】英国的科学家发现，蜜蜂在花丛中飞行时，总是能够找到最近的路线，这个“销售员旅行难题”即使用电脑也需要好几天才能解决。12What would be the best title of the passage?ABees help salesmen travelBTiny brained bees solve a complex mathematicalproblemCHow bees discover the flowersDHow to solve the “traveling salesman problem”【解析】“销售员旅行难题”用计算机也需要好几天才能解决，而蜜蜂毫不费力地就能在花丛中找到最近的飞行路线，故B项“具有微小大脑的蜜蜂解决复杂的数学难题”作为文章的标题最贴切。【答案】B13We may infer from the second paragraph that the “traveling salesman problem”_Acan be solved by a computer easilyBcant even be solved by a computerCcan puzzle both people and computersDremains to be solved by scientists【解析】根据第二段可知，销售员在出发之前必须找到合适的路线，这个“销售员旅行难题”即使用电脑也需要好几天才能解决。【答案】C14The main purpose of the last paragraph is to_.Aprovide further proof for the researchBtell us how bees can fly the shortest route between flowersCtell us how the research about bees flying route was conductedDexplain the importance of the research【解析】最后一段说明了蜜蜂飞行路线研究的意义和目的，是为了帮助我们在实际生活中更好地节省时间和精力。【答案】D15It can be concluded from the passage that _.Aall creatures are smarter than computersBthe research about bees flying route can be applied to many fieldsCour networks are more complex than bees onesDwith the help of the computer we can find out how bees can solve the “traveling salesman problem”【解析】根据最后一段可以推断出对蜜蜂飞行路线的研究可以应用到其他领域中。【答案】B.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。How to Become a Top
