Module 5 The First Americans(滿分：120分；時(shí)間：100分鐘).閱讀理解(共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分)AThe singer, Mick Jagger, of the Rolling Stones sings a song that tells people they cant always get what they want but if we try sometimes we can get what we need.The past years in my life my parents have told me this saying many times.Ive always complained about the quote(引語(yǔ))，although over time I have told myself to learn from it.This year my girlfriend flew off to college in West Palm, Florida.This has been a killer for me because I havent been able to see her and she is having a rough time in school.The last two months have been hard but we are working through it.I have been trying to get my dad to buy me a plane ticket to go down there.My dad told me if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket.I started to complain to him because I had no way of getting any money to give him.I spent several days and nights thinking of ways to earn money to go see my girlfriend.I finally came to the conclusion that I would get a job and work hard to earn some money to give to my dad.I applied to Safeway and I ended up getting the job.I have been working at Safeway for about a month now and work hard to earn money to go see my girlfriend.The other day my mom had surprised me and told me that she asked her boss if she could use their business miles(旅費(fèi)) to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks.I was very thankful and told her I would help pay for anything that I have to.The thought of me working hard and getting a job showed my mom that I really cared and was trying my best to be a successful person.I believe that you cant always get what you want but if you try sometimes, you get what you need.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】作者的父親總是引用歌詞教育作者，凡事要靠自己的努力，作者就只憑借自己的努力滿足和打動(dòng)父母，如愿以償?shù)啬玫搅巳タ磁笥训臋C(jī)票。1The authors parents often told him the saying quoted from the song because_.AHe liked to complain to them about his lifeBThey expected him to learn from the singerCHe always wanted to get everything he wantedDThey tried to educate him to do things for himself【解析】推理判斷題。由作者在第一段最后的“Ive always complained about the quote(引語(yǔ))，although over time I have told myself to learn from it.”盡管作者總是抱怨，但自己也承認(rèn)從中學(xué)到了東西，這正是父母引用的目的所在?！敬鸢浮緿2What does the world “killer” underlined in the second paragraph refer to?ASomething that is quite troublesome.BSomething that is very difficult.CA person who kills purposely.DA person who treats women very badly.【解析】詞義猜測(cè)題。由下文的解釋“because I havent been able to see her and she is having a rough time in school.”可以看出，女朋友離開(kāi)去上大學(xué)了，自己感覺(jué)很孤獨(dú)，再加上女友在學(xué)校“having a rough time”，由 此可以看出，這正是上文所說(shuō)的 killer，一些使人煩惱的事情?！敬鸢浮緼3What can we infer from the passage?AThe author was lazy and unwilling to work hard.BThe authors father was too mean to give him money.CThe authors actual action won support from his mother.DThe author was unable to tear himself away from his girl friend.【解析】推理判斷題。當(dāng)作者提出讓父母出錢買機(jī)票去看女友的時(shí)候，父親的答復(fù)是：作者得出錢，“if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket.”后來(lái)作者找了份工作(ended up getting the job) 并努力賺錢買票(work hard to earn money to go see my girlfriend.)，正是作者的實(shí)際行動(dòng)感動(dòng)了作者的媽媽，從而 “asked her boss if she could use their business miles(旅費(fèi)) to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks.”【答案】C4By writing the passage, the author tries to show_.Awe can do nothing without moneyBfathers are strict while mothers are kindCits hard for parents to bring up their childrenDwe should try to rely on ourselves for everything【解析】主旨大意題。作者開(kāi)篇用一句歌詞引出了主題：只要努力就能得到自己所需要的。中間用自己的一次經(jīng)歷進(jìn)行了論證，最后一段在回扣“.trying my best to be a successful person.，I believe that you cant always get what you want but if you try sometimes, you get what you need.”，也就是“we should try to rely on ourselves for everything?！薄敬鸢浮緿B(2016遼寧省丹東五校協(xié)作體高三期末考試)If the earths population is in growth at this rate, there will not be enough resources.By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example.Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on the earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else.But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present.One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.Sagan believes that before the earths resources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as the earth itself.The difficulty is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.Sagan proposes that algae organisms(海藻有機(jī)體) that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus.As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets.Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere .In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain.The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】這是一篇科普說(shuō)明文。未來(lái)人類會(huì)耗盡所有的資源，因此科學(xué)家們?cè)诳紤]移民金星。事實(shí)上，金星上的環(huán)境并不完全適合人類。處理的辦法是先在金星上投放藻類植物，使金星上的溫度降低，增加空氣中氧氣的含量，這樣人類或許就可以移民金星了。5In the long run, the most difficult problem caused by population growth on the earth will probably be the lack of _.AoilBfoodCresourcesDspace【解析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。由第一段可知，未來(lái)人們面臨的是生存空間的問(wèn)題。故選D項(xiàng)?！敬鸢浮緿6. Carl Sagan believes that Venus might be a living place because_.Athe days on Venus are long enoughBit might be possible to change its atmosphereCthere is a good supply of water on VenusDits atmosphere is the same as the earths【解析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段可知，Sagan認(rèn)為可以改變金星的氣候。因此答案為B?！敬鸢浮緽7Algae are plants that can_.Alive in very hot temperatureBlive in very cold temperatureCproduce oxygenDall of the above【解析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。由第三段“Sagan proposes that algae organisms(海藻有機(jī)體) that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen.”一句可知它既可以在很冷很熱的溫度中生存也可以產(chǎn)生氧氣。因此答案選D。【答案】D8Man can land on Venus only when_.Ait rains thereBthere is oxygenCthe atmosphere becomes coolerDthe algae have done their work【解析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)最后一段這句可知，人類登陸金星之前，那里的氧氣必須能夠產(chǎn)生雨水。故選A?！敬鸢浮緼CThere are some strongwilled people who think of leaving smoking today and are free from the addiction the very next day.However, not everybody is so fortunate.Some of the smokers may have to resort to medications(藥物治療) in order to kick off this habit.What do these medications actually do is that they reduce the wish to smoke.These medications must be taken only under the overseeing of a doctor.Five medications which have been approved by the FDA to stop smoking are bupropion SR, nicotine gum, nicotine inhaler, nicotine nasal spray and nicotine patch.Nicotine gum(橡皮糖) and nicotine patch(片) are used overthecounter.However, the other medications require prescription(藥方)Zyban tablets have been found to be highly effective in curing people of smoking addiction.The tablet needs to be taken in whole without crushing it as crushing can lead to side effects.It should be taken only on the prescription of a doctor.Nicotine patches are filled with nicotine and they are to be applied to the skin.The skin takes in nicotine and carries it to the blood stream.The amount of nicotine delivered by these patches is moderate and not high enough to lead to addiction.In fact, millions of people have benefited from these nicotine patches.Nicotine gums are supposed to be a safer choice.They are to be used in such a way that they come in touch with the blood vessels(脈管) of the mouth and thus release nicotine.It should not go through the saliva(唾液) and the stomach, otherwise it may cause certain side effects.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】人人都知道“吸煙有害健康”，但要想讓一個(gè)癮君子戒煙是一件很難的事情，本文給那些戒煙是的人提供了用藥物治療戒除煙癮的辦法。9Medications can_.Amake smokers wish to smoke lessBclear away nicotine in smokers bodiesCbe bought everywhere and every timeDstop people become addicted to smoking【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第二段第一句話“What do these medications actually do is that they reduce the wish to smoke.”可以看出本題正確的答案為A。B項(xiàng)的中的“clear away清除掉”不妥；C項(xiàng)中“隨時(shí)隨地”也不準(zhǔn)確；D項(xiàng)不是這種藥物的功能?！敬鸢浮緼10From this passage we can learn_.Astrongwilled adductor must take medicine to help smokingByou shouldnt break Zyban tablet into pieces when taking itCnicotine patches can be injected into the blood streamDnicotine gums can be chewed like other candy【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第三段的第二句“The tablet needs to be taken in whole without crushing it as crushing can lead to side effects.”可以判斷出B項(xiàng)是正確的。從第一段的第一、二句可以看出A項(xiàng)太絕對(duì)；從第四段的第一、二句可以判斷出C項(xiàng)不正確；從第五段的第二、三句可以判斷出D項(xiàng)不正確?！敬鸢浮緽11The best title of this passage is_.AHow To Cure Smoking AddictionBWhy People Become Addicted To SmokingCNew Ways To Help Stop SmokingDMedications To Cure Smoking Addiction【解析】主旨大意題。文章第一段的最后一句就提到了藥物治療幫助人們戒除煙癮。后面的幾段主要是介紹了幾種幫助戒煙的藥物?！敬鸢浮緿D(2016河南省八市高三質(zhì)量檢測(cè))A California man who was feeling sick almost died recently from a shocking cause.26yearold Luis Ortiz
