模块综合测评(二).阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分；满分30分)ATwo days ago I was woken up at I am. My roommate stood at the door (she was returning from a club) along with a huge middleaged man with long hair. “Please let him in，” she told me, “He has been locked out of his apartment.” She had seen him, cold and shivering (it had snowed the previous night)and immediately asked him to sleep at our place. He was a law student in his fifties who had been doing his homework at the Laundromat (自助洗衣店) when he found he had left his keys in his house.I have never had a strange man sleep in my house before.My roommate and I are both less than 5 feet and we have been asked not to speak to strangers since we were kids. Not to mention that were in a new city that we have lived in for less than a month. He accepted our kindness with hesitation and as soon as dawn broke he left.The next day he came to our house, saying he owed us big time for not being frozen out in the cold. He left us a beautiful card saying“Thank you so much. Your actions are so sincere.”Later he cooked us a wonderful simple “thank you” dinner over which he told us about his life (a coach, a guide, a law student)He told us how he was completely touched by our concern for a total stranger. I learnt a lot that evening. As he talked about how once he brought a homeless man in to eat Christmas dinner with his family, I was deeply touched.My roommate taught me a huge lesson: Let go of your fear; always leave the door of compassion (同情) open and you can never go wrong.【语篇解读】本文讲述了室友非常热心地领着一个陌生人住在我们宿舍，陌生人第二天表示了感谢。这让我懂得：放下恐惧，把心打开，你就不会迷失。1From the first paragraph we can infer that _Athe writer came back from a club earlierBthe writers roommate was kindheartedCthe writers roommate often came back lateDthe man wanted to find a job at the Laundromat【解析】细节理解题。由第一段“Please let him in，”she told me，“He has been locked out of his apartment.”She had seen him，cold and shivering(it had snowed the previous night)and immediately asked him to sleep at our place.”可知作者的室友非常热心，故选B项。【答案】B2When the writer knew the man would stay in their house for the night, at first _Ashe felt nervousBshe was angryCshe felt excitedDshe was disappointed【解析】细节理解题。由第二段“I have never had a strange man sleep in my house before.My roommate and I are both less than 5 feet and we have been asked not to speak to strangers since we were kids.Not to mention that were in a new city that we have lived in for less than a month.”可知，作者看到室友领回来一个陌生人很紧张，故选A项。【答案】A3The next day the man went back to the writers house to _Atell them he was OKBgive them nice cardsCshow his thanks to themDshow he was really lucky【解析】细节理解题。由第三段内容得知第二天那个被帮助的人前来致谢，感谢因为她们的收留而没有被冻坏，还留下一张感谢卡片，故选C项。【答案】C4What can we learn from the passage?AThe writers roommate worked in a club.BThe man had helped others before.CThe man was a complete failure in his life.DThe two women have lived in this city since they were young.【解析】推理判断题。由第四段末句“As he talked about how once he brought a homeless man in to eat Christmas dinner with his family, I was deeply touched.”推断出他曾经带过一个无家可归的陌生人到自己家里度过圣诞节，故选B项。【答案】BBAnybody whos noticed so many sweaty Sundaymorning photos on the Internet must think that marathons have recently regained popularity. According to Running USA, an organization that tracks the sports growth, 52 percent of runners today track themselves with some sort of GPSenabled device, like a smartphone or a fitness tracker. This statistic has likely played a role in runnings growing appealthe easily available tracking information has attracted people to the sport，and kept them going, for its possible for anyone to see in real time how its affecting their bodies.Today, free smartphone apps can give runners information on things like the number and length of their steps, their heart rate, even the estimated volume of oxygen they consume per minute. All this information can act as a reward and a motivator for the runner. “Its one thing to hear encouragement from a coach.” Bryan Boyle, editor of Runners World magazine, explains. “Its quite another, however, to appreciateat a glanceprogress made during weeks and months of running.”But runtracking technology doesnt just help runners train harder. It also gives them the power to train more intelligently. Recreational runners today no longer have to guess how far or how fast theyve run, or what their body is doing. If they can monitor their heart rate, they can make sure theyre hitting the most strategic pace on each run, which can signiticantly increase their chances of having a positive experience on the course during race day.No matter how much technology can promote the experience of running, though, many runners argue that the biggest benefit of the sport remains the chance to get outdoors，away from the computer, for an hour. “Theres so much more to experience，” adds Boyle. “fresh air, travel, shoot, just overall feeling better. Theres no app for that.”【语篇解读】文章主要讲解了现在跑步者运用跑步追踪技术来告诉他们步数和长度信息、他们的心率，甚至估计每分钟的氧消耗，这些都给了跑步者鼓励和刺激。5We can infer from the first paragraph that _Apeople enjoy posting sports pictures on the InternetBRunning USA plays a key role in the growth of runningCtracking technology is drawing more people on the roadDruntracking devices help people run faster than before【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“This statistic has likely played a role in runnings growing appealthe easily available tracking information has attracted people to the sport，and kept them going”可知追踪信息正吸引越来越多的人，故选C。【答案】C6Which of the following questions are the second and third paragraphs intended to answer?AWhat information can runtracking devices provide for the runners?BHow is the runtracking technology popularizing running?CIn what way is runtracking technology developed?DWhy do people have to rely on wearable devices in modern society?【解析】推理判断题。总结文章二、三段内容可知这两段主要讲了runtracking是怎样推广跑步的，故选B。【答案】B7As for the experienced runners, what attracts them most is _Athe exciting experience technology brings themBa chance to enjoy nature outdoorsCbecoming popular on social mediaDbeing cool with a new wearable device on the road【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段“many runners argue that the biggest benefit of the sport remains the chance to get outdoors，away from the computer，for an hour.”可知许多跑步者觉得最大的好处是可以去户外运动，故选B。【答案】BCAs we enter into this new age of cities in which more than half the worlds population will live in an urban area, we must also take a hard look at how we will care for the significant increase in our elderly population. While many will be living longer, they will be doing so with agerelated health issues and disease. Of special concern, the number of people living with dementia (痴呆) worldwide is set to treble by 2050.Alzheimers Disease International reports that 44 million people live with the disease now but that figure will increase to 135 million by 2050. With this added pressure to health systems, technology is the critical factor to success.In Oslo, Norway, a retired engineer, Mr. Helge Farsund cares for his wife, Kari. Kari, who had been an intensivecare nurse who served with the Red Cross in Rwanda, was diagnosed with Alzheimers three years ago. Looking to live as normal a life as possible as Karis condition progressed, they are participating in a pilot project studying how a smart home powered by sensors enables people with Alzheimers Disease to stay in their home.The system is created by Abilia. At the center of the system is an iPadlike device. The screen has Skype, which allows carets to regularly check in with patients.Some 1，000 people now have the system installed in their homes, and 25 of them, including the Farsunds, are testing the latest version, which combines the screen with wirelessly connected sensors around the house to detect motion. If a door is opened or left open, or if the stove is left on, the system alerts patients and caretakers of danger. The planner also provides spoken reminders about daily tasks, such as when they need to take medicine and events like birthdays as well as enabling caretakers and family members to check in remotely via Skype.“With this kind of system, it allows people to take care of themselves, which is the most important thing，” says vice president Oystein Johnsen. For him, any move to improve city life needs to begin with people. “Smart cities are coming and they need to start with individuals in their own home，” he says.“It also saves the government money. In Norway it cost one million Norwegian krone (100，000) per year to have someone in a home, while this system costs 15，000. That is a lot of money to save.”【语篇解读】本文谈论的是未来影响健康的关键因素。8.

It was the treatment of an individual, not a disease, and the treatment of the whole body, not any part of it. Treatment was based on the fundamental idea that nature had a strong healing force of its own, and that the main role of the physician was to assist nature in this healing process, rather than to direct it.The main ally of the physician in assisting nature in this process was diet. Only if diet failed were drugs used, and surgery was a last resort.The great philosopher Aristotle was the son of a medical man and a medical man himself, but his main influence on the development of European medicine was through his student，Theophrastus, called the“father of botany (植物学)”. He was the first known author in Europe of a classification system for plants with accompanying comments about their medicinal value.He described about 450 different medicinal plants. However, this text has not come down through history, and is only noted in later commentaries.The first document of herbal medicine that is regarded as a medical classic in the European tradition was De Materia Medica by Dioscorides. Dioscorides was a surgeon accompanying the army. He travelled far, collected much information, and gained considerable medical experience. Dioscorides had recorded herb knowledge for 600 plants. The books pictures were considered the only authoritative ones for European medicinal plants for over 1，000 years. The work was translated into English in 1655, and continued to be the primary reference on European herbs.Greek medicine continued to improve for several decades after Dioscorides, but it eventually began to stagnate【语篇解读】草药的使用在欧洲也有很长的历史。本文介绍了希腊医学史上的一些重要人物及著作。12The treatment of the Hippocratic physician _Ausually didnt function wellBwas based on the healing power of natureCtended to replace diet with drugsDrelied heavily on surgery【解析】细节理解题。从第二段的“Treatment was based on the fundamental idea that nature had a strong healing force of its own，and that the main role of the physician was to assist nature in this healing process.”可知B项正确。【答案】B13What can we learn about Theophrastus from the passage?AHe was a student of Hippocrates.BHe is known as the “father of medicine”CHe used a system to classify plants.DHe wrote a text that was proved wrong by later generations.【解析】细节理解题。从第三段的“He was the first known author in Europe of a classification system for plants.”可知C项正确。【答案】C14According to the passage, De Materia Medica by Dioscorides _Ahas not come down through historyBrecorded about 450 different medicinal plantsCwas originally written in EnglishDpromoted the development of European medicine【解析】推理判断题。从第四段的“The first document of herbal medicine that is regarded as a medical classic in the European tradition was De Materia Medica by Dioscorides.”可知D项正确。【答案】D15The underlined word “stagnate”in the last paragraph probably means“_”Astop developingBkeep growingCenjoy fameDreduce expenses【解析】词义猜测题。从转折连词but和eventually可知事情向前一分句所描述的相反的方向发展了，前一分句说古希腊的医学持续发展，此处应该是表示“终止、停滞”之类的词语。【答案】A.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)The benefits of keeping a journal (日志)If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal.
