外研版高二英語選修6Module 1練習(xí)試題(2)
第二部分 閱讀理解(共兩節(jié),滿分40分)
第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes—anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenthgrade English class that a person could not have a “complicated(復(fù)雜的) idea” until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony(嘲諷) or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?)
There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the “hundred most important books of Western Civilization”.“More than anything else in my life,” the professor told the reporter with_finality,_“these books have made me all that I am.” That was the kind of words I couldn't ignore(忽視). I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato's The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introductions of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信)of a schoolboy,I looked at every word of the text. And by the time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic,and seriously crossed Plato off my list.
21. On hearing the teacher's suggestion of reading, the writer thought ________.
A. one must read as many books as possible
B. a student should not have a complicated idea
C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand books
D. students ought to make a list of the books they had read
答案與解析:A 考查推理判斷能力。老師對(duì)十年級(jí)的學(xué)生講了那番話之后,我并沒有意識(shí)到其真正的含義,下文又講到“I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read.Strict with myself...”“我要為自己讀過的書列一個(gè)清單……”,這說明作者認(rèn)為要盡可能地多讀書。B項(xiàng)講學(xué)生不應(yīng)該有復(fù)雜的想法;C項(xiàng)講一個(gè)學(xué)生不可能看完2,000本書;D項(xiàng)講學(xué)生應(yīng)該將看過的書列一個(gè)清單,都不符合文章內(nèi)容。
22. While at high school, the writer ________.
A. had plans for reading
B. learned to educate himself
C. only read books over 100 pages
D. read only one book several times
答案與解析:A 考查邏輯分析能力。文章開頭就講到我中學(xué)期間雖然看過很多書籍,但我認(rèn)為自己并不善于看書,有點(diǎn)兒書呆子氣。我在書中尋找好的短語、俗語或其他的一些能豐富我思想的,同時(shí)又讓我感覺到受教育的東西,這些都表示自己有讀書計(jì)劃。B項(xiàng)與信息make me feel educated不符;從第一段最后幾句可以看出作者并不只是讀超過100頁的書,也不只是多次地讀同一本書。
23. The underlined phrase “with finality” probably means “________”.
A. firmly B. clearly
C. proudly D. pleasantly
答案與解析:A 考查對(duì)詞匯的理解能力。根據(jù)該短語所在語句的含義及構(gòu)詞法的知識(shí)可推知with finality意為“堅(jiān)決地,堅(jiān)定地”。
24. The writer's purpose in mentioning The Republic is to ________.
A. explain why it was included in the list
B. describe why he seriously crossed it off the list
C. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand
D. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word
答案與解析:C 考查分析作者寫作意圖的能力。作者在第二段中講到“Most books,of course,I hardly understood.”,我用了幾個(gè)月時(shí)間看了很多書,但是其中很多書的內(nèi)容我?guī)缀醪荒芾斫猓缓笞髡呔鸵运碩he Republic這本書為例,說明這個(gè)事實(shí);接著作者還講到“I needed to keep looking at the introductions of the book to remind myself what the text was about.”“And by the time I reached the last word, pleased,I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic.”這些都說明選項(xiàng)C為正確答案。
B
I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent. I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓約) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here's what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(空閑); it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It_is_so_easy_to_exist_instead_of_to_live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all: I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion(激情) as it ought to be lived.
25. The best title of this passage probably ________.
A. Love Your Friends
B. Live a Real life
C. Don't Waste Time
D. Be a Good Mother and Wife
答案與解析:B 主旨大意題。作者提倡過一種屬于自己的真正的生活。由第三段主題句“Get a life.A real life...”得出。
26. How did the author form her view of life?
A. By working and social experience.
B. By learning from her friends.
C. Through an unfortunate experience.
D. From her children and husband.
答案與解析:C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。作者在一段非常糟糕的經(jīng)歷后才得出這種生活理念,由第五段“Something really bad happened to me,something that changed my life...”得出。
27. The underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live.” in the fifth paragraph probably has the same meaning as “________”.
A. it is so easy to keep alive but not to live a real life
B. it is very hard to live a real life
C. it is so easy to make a living
D. it is more difficult to exist than to live a happy life
答案與解析:A 句意理解題。作者的意思是活著容易,但過一種真正的生活很難。
28. What's the author's attitude toward work?
A. Do it well to serve others.
B. To earn enough money to make life better.
C. Try your best to get higher position and pay.
D. Don't let it affect your real life.
答案與解析:D 推理判斷題。生活第一。工作不能影響生活,更不要去追逐名利,由首段“I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.”得出。
C
Girls can easily sad. If your friend is feeling blue and calls you, what will you do? Here are some tips on how you can make her smile again.
Listen to her. When people feel sad, they often have the feeling of needing to be heard. So, listen carefully to what she is saying and do nothing else. Your friend will surely thank you for being the shoulder she can cry on.
Once you are done with listening, you can offer some advice or remain silent and let her feel everything and let it all out by crying. As a friend, you might think you should give her some advice. But if you have no idea about what to say, just remain silent and be there for her.
In order to be able to help your friend in need, don't be sad for yourself. How can you help your friend when you are also feeling down?
A hug can make a difference in the world. It makes you feel warm and special. A hug makes you feel safe. So give your friend a hug when she needs it the most.
Spend more time with your friend who wants to be happy. Do things together like washing dishes, cleaning, or going out for fun. The more time you spend together, the stronger your friendship will become.
Sometimes, it is much better that you avoid a crying friend in your life. But by doing so, you are also keeping your friend at a distance and will make her wonder if you are her true friend. If you are there when she needs you, your friendship will be much stronger.

Most of us will admit that on occasions we can be bad-tempered. This can be for a number of reasons.
__36__ As the body and mind are tired, it seems to take us less time to become angry just because of something that is of little importance. Young children are usually the cause of tiredness and it is highly likely that parents allow themselves to release(釋放) their exhaustion directly at the children. Children are very good at remembering these instances and it will affect them for a long time. __37__
Diet and lifestyle can be key factors in causing a bad temper. Some people don't realize that their diet can directly affect their moods. Processed food and items that contain a lot of sugars, especially those that aren't natural sugars, can cause a rise in blood sugar. __38__ Similarly, lifestyle choices can encourage bad tempers and poor moods, especially if drug and alcohol are used too frequently. __39__
If you have noticed that you are becoming increasingly bad-tempered, it is important that you take steps to try and regain control. __40__ After you find the cause, try and make positive changes to prevent this from occurring in the future.
A.Find your ways to release your anger.
B.Check what it is that causes the bad mood.
C.Tiredness is often the most common reason.
D.Managing your anger is good for your health.
E.Therefore, it is important to have more patience when with children.
F.This rise can have a very negative effect on moods and mental performance.
G.So it is important to keep away from these temptations(誘惑) for your own mental state.

答案與解析:

42.B 由“Everything seemed to be going wrong for me.”可推知,作者感到一切都出了問題,自己的世界正在破碎。
43.C 根據(jù)下文要完成大學(xué)學(xué)位的同時(shí)晚上還要作兼職以及很少睡眠可知,作者在進(jìn)行著超負(fù)荷的工作。
44.D 根據(jù)下文51空前的“And I didn't want to stay a nurse as a part-time job all the time”可知此處應(yīng)選D項(xiàng)。
45.A 由下文“...the MCAT(Medical College Admission Test醫(yī)學(xué)院入學(xué)考試) , ...and I had done too poorly to ...”可知,作者已收到了入學(xué)考試的成績(jī)。
46.B 既然是入學(xué)考試,就是通過測(cè)驗(yàn)來決定一個(gè)人是否能夠被錄取。
47.C 根據(jù)上句這是入學(xué)考試可知,作者的考試成績(jī)太低而無法獲得入學(xué)的資格。
48.D 由下文“Wondering about the loss of my hopes”可知,作者失去了上醫(yī)學(xué)院的希望,就覺得這些年的努力都白費(fèi)了。
49.C 由上文失去了希望可以推知作者很傷心。
50.D 由下句的“since this didn't work”可知,作者認(rèn)為應(yīng)該換一份別的工作。
51.B 作者不想每次看到新的年輕的醫(yī)生時(shí)就被提醒自己是個(gè)失敗者,每當(dāng)看到他們都會(huì)有這樣的反應(yīng),因此是經(jīng)常地被提醒。
52.C 同上題。
53.A 根據(jù)下文的內(nèi)容可知作者就是按照母親的建議來做的。
54.B 由上文可知作者的狀況很慘,又根據(jù)下文“as I cried”可知,當(dāng)作者哭的時(shí)候其好友在電話里安慰她。
55.B 由本句前面“President Abraham Lincoln”可知,林肯最終成功了。
56.D 由上文的“Persistence”可知,作者在遭受一次次的挫折時(shí),朋友給她講述了林肯的故事,很顯然這是在鼓勵(lì)作者不要放棄。
57.B 根據(jù)下文“and the problems started fixing themselves”可知,當(dāng)作者敢于正視失敗時(shí),一切都開始好轉(zhuǎn)了,問題也開始自己解決了。
58.A 根據(jù)“to continue my dream”可知,最重要的是作者又要開始追求自己的夢(mèng)想了。
59.C 此處表示作者在為入學(xué)考試作準(zhǔn)備。

Our friend looked __65__(puzzle) and said, “Good evening, friend. I was wondering what you are doing.” “I am throwing these starfish that __66__(wash) up onto the shore back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide right now. __67__ I do not throw them back into the sea, they would die up here from lack of oxygen.” “I understand,” our friend replied, “__68__ there must be thousands of starfish on this beach. You can't __69__(possible) get to all of them. Can't you see that you can't possibly make a difference?”
The local native smiled, bent down and picked up yet __70__ starfish, and as he threw it back into the sea,he replied,“Make a difference to that one!”

During the weekend I travelled by the air for the first time in my life. I usual travel by train or bus. It's both cheaper and safe. But to fly in the sky was something new to me.

Dear Li Wei,
Glad to hear from you. You say you have some problems in overcoming the pressure of exams. Don't worry. Let me give you some advice.
As a matter of fact, most of us middle school students feel nervous whenever we're taking an important exam. There is no doubt that exams are importantto us students, but it's more important to have a right attitude towards them. Therefore, try to study hard every day and make good preparations for exams but don't worry too much about the results. And I think it's good to go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercise before exams. Besides, having enough sleep can make us full of energy and make it possible for us to perform well in the exam. A hot bath or a cup of hot milk before going to bed might help you have a sound sleep.
Don't worry too much about exams and try to relax yourself. I am sure you will do well in the exam. Good luck.
Yours,
Wu Peng
