高中英语 Module 6 Unexplained Mysteries of the Natural World模块综合测评 外研版必修

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)AMillions of years ago there were many types of dinosaurs on Earth.Most dinosaurs were planteaters.The Apatosaurus，for example，had a long thin neck so that it could eat leaves from trees.Other dinosaurs were meateaters.The Tyrannosaurus Rex killed smaller dinosaurs for food.Dinosaurs were real animals that once lived on the Earth，but they died out about 65 million years ago.The disappearance of the dinosaurs is in some way a great mystery.Some scientists think that the climate changed suddenly.Fossils(化石)of trees tell us that the temperature dropped a lot and that the level of the sea dropped as well.This means that it got suddenly much colder.Perhaps the dinosaurs were too slow to change with the climate.A new idea is that a meteor(流星)crashed into the Earth.Scientists discovered a place in Mexico where they think the meteor crashed.They think that there was a lot of dust from the meteor.The dust landed on the plants.Also the dust blocked(阻挡)the suns light for as long as five years.Many animals，including dinosaurs，were planteaters，and perhaps the dust killed them.This means there was nothing left for meateating dinosaurs to eat，and so they died out.But，as many animals from that time didnt die，we are not 100% sure what really happened.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了恐龙灭绝的可能的原因。1.

Which of these descriptions of the UFO is true?AIt was round and flat，and had yellow windows along the side.BIt was ten feet longer than its breadth，and it was silver.CIt was a saucershaped box about thirty feet high.DIt was a strange silver saucer which was like a craft.【解析】根据第一段最后一句“shaped like a saucer(茶碟)”和第二段第二句“It had yellow windows along the side”可知，A项正确。【答案】A6. What did Gaynor do as soon as she saw the UFO?AShe told her mother.BShe ran away.CShe went home from school.DShe hid in the long grass and watched it.【解析】根据第二段中的“she lay quietly in the long grass and watched.”可知，D项正确。【答案】D7.

It was a bridge! And the neighbor，Bob，was coming across，with his hand outstretched(伸开的)“Hi，John！Youre_quite_a_fellow_to_build_this_bridge！”Then they met in the middle，taking each others hands.“Im terribly sorry for what I have said and done.We should be good to each other.” said Farmer Bob.Then they turned to see the carpenter，who was ready to go.“No，wait! Stay a few days.I have a lot of other jobs for you.” said Farmer John.“Id love to stay，” the carpenter said，“but I have more bridges to build.”【语篇解读】 三十年来一直相处得很好的两个农夫突然关系破裂，一个聪明的木匠通过造桥而不是设围墙的方式使他们俩达成了和解。8Farmer John asked the carpenter to build a fence because _.Ahe wanted to protect his farmBhe didnt want to do it himselfChe wouldnt like to see BobDhe wanted to find him something to do【解析】根据文章第五段中的“I dont want to see his place or his face any more.”可以直接得到答案。【答案】C9What does the sentence “Youre quite a fellow to build this bridge！” mean?AJohn was great to build this bridge.BJohn was good at building bridges.CJohn was foolish to build such a bridge.DJohn should build the bridge earlier.【解析】根据语境可知，Bob 从桥上走过来并伸出手示好，所以这里他应该是称赞John 在造桥这件事上做得很好。【答案】A10What do you think of the carpenter?AShy.BWise.CProud.DCareless.【解析】根据文章第六段中木匠所说的话可知，他表示可以做一项让John满意的工作，而且下文说到木匠成功地化解了两个农夫的矛盾，所以他应该是聪明的。【答案】B11What is the best title for the passage?AWhat a Big Fence!BFarmer and BridgeCThree Kind MenDA Fence or a Bridge?【解析】根据文章的结构和内容可知，全文主要讲述了两个多年相处得很好的农夫关系破裂后，一个木匠通过搭桥而不是设围墙的方法，使他们和好的故事。所以选项D符合题意。【答案】DDDo you enjoy reading? Do you read newspapers or magazines? Chances are，if you do any of these activities，your preschool child is on his way to becoming a reader.The process of learning to read is complex，and one of the most important things to know is that parents can help their children learn to read.As children have conversations with adults，they hear both new and familiar words and their vocabulary grows.There are many opportunities for adults and children to talk together，such as when riding in the car or in a bus，doing housework like fixing dinner，or bathing and getting ready for bed.A major part of conversation is listening.When children talk，adults listen and respond.Then children listen and respond，and so the flow of conversation happens.Have you watched your preschool child pretend to read to his younger sisters or brothers? Have you read his favorite story over and over？These experiences tell children that reading is fun.And when things are fun and they are repeated，your child will see letters.He begins to connect them to familiar words，especially the letters that make up his name.A natural next step for him to take is to write the letters.When children see parents make a grocery list，they want to use a pencil and paper to make their own list.To encourage these beginning writing activities，have pencils，markers，crayons and scrap paper within your childrens reach.The more children get connected with talking，listening，reading and writing，the easier it is for them to become active readers.While you as a parent have a big influence on these early behaviors，it is important to remember that opportunities for literacy experiences happen when you and your child share in the basic routines(日常生活)of everyday life.【语篇解读】本文主要就如何引导孩子们在日常生活中养成阅读的好习惯给出了一些建议。12The third paragraph tells us that parents can talk with their children _.Aduring daily routinesBonly in quiet placesCin their spare timeDwhen they are eager to talk【解析】根据第三段第一句中列举的乘车时、做家务时、洗澡时以及准备睡觉时可知，该段中作者讲到了父母可以在日常生活中和孩子们交谈。【答案】A13During the process of learning to read，children may _.Acopy the action of the adultsBprefer to talk with those of their own ageCshow no interest in reading at allDwaste a lot of paper and other materials【解析】根据第四段前两句和第五段第一句可知，孩子们在学习阅读时可能会模仿父母的举动。【答案】A14When do children want to learn to write?AWhen their parents ask them to do so.BWhen they believe they can write well.CWhen they know what they want to know.DWhen they can connect letters with familiar words.【解析】根据第四段最后两句可知，当孩子们能将字母与熟悉的单词联系起来的时候，下一步他们就想要学着写字了。【答案】D15The passage is written to _.Atalk about parents influence on their childrens behaviorBencourage parents to set a good example to their childrenCadvise parents to make reading a part of their childrens daily lifeDmake parents believe in the importance of early reading【解析】本文主要就如何引导孩子们在日常生活中养成阅读的好习惯给出了一些建议，故选C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。Expressions about water are almost as common as water._16_The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them.It is a very old expression.“Hot water” was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble.One story says it got that meaning from the custom of extremely throwing hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.When we are in “Hot water”，we are in trouble._17_ A young boy can be in hot water with his mother，if he comes into the house with dirty shoes.“To keep your head above water” is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt.A company seeks to keep its head above water during economic hard times.A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job.Another common expression，“to hold water”， is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about.If it can hold water，it is strong and has no holes in it.If your argument can hold water，_18_ If it does not hold water，_19_“Throwing cold water” also is an expression that deals with ideas or proposals._20_ For example，you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems.But your wife “throws cold water” on the idea，because she says a new car costs too much.ABut many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.BYou are in a difficult position.CA person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police.DIt means disliking an idea.Eit is strong and does not have any holes.FA man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job.Gthen it is weak and not worth debating.【答案】1620ACEGD.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)Jack was happily trying his new car.The car was good and there wasnt _21_ traffic on the roads.Suddenly，a flower shop _22_ his attention.He stopped his car and took a closer look at the flowers _23_ there.The beautiful “Mothers Day” card _24_ him it was Mothers Day.Jack thought about his loving _25_ who lived two hundred miles away.So he _26_ a nice bouquet(束)of pink roses，signed the card and _27_ the shopkeeper to send it express to his mother.Just _28_ he got into his car，he noticed a girl standing outside the shop.She was _29_ the money in her hand.She seemed a little _30_.Jack asked，“Can I help you？” She replied in a _31_ voice，“I want to buy some _32_ for my mother，but I dont have enough money.”Jack asked her to go to the shop with him and _33_ a big bouquet of red roses for her.She _34_ him.While leaving the shop，Jack offered her a _35_.She was pleased and her eyes were shining with _36_.On the way，she told him that her mother was dead.So when they arrived，she ran to her mothers _37_ and placed the bouquet there.Jack was silent for a minute.Then he made a Uturn _38_ and drove back to the _39_ flower shop to take the flowers.He decided to drive down to meet his mother.He handed his mother the bouquet and said，“I love you，Ma.” She kissed him and asked，“Why did you _40_ down all the way?
