Module 6 Why Do We Need Dictionaries (滿分：120分；時間：100分鐘).閱讀理解(共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分)A(2016石家莊市高三年級調(diào)研檢測)During the two and a half years since I settled down in Germany，Ive caught a cold several times and gotten to experience how different German cold remedies (療法) are from the Chinese ones.Back in Taiwan，whenever I had a streaming nose and a dry throat，Id rush to the hospital to get prescribed medicine.For a fever，I would receive a red pill，which I now know is a type of antibiotic(抗生素)Another thing I know now is that the criminal behind my cold is a virus.The drugs I used only relieved the symptoms.When I went to a German hospital intending to get some medicine to treat my cold，I got nothing more than a pat on my shoulder and words from the doctor，saying that I should get some really good rest.The first time this happened，I was shocked.I wondered how I could put up with my sickness without the help of medicine.But the longer I stayed in Germany，the better I knew how to selfmedicate as other Germans do.I learned to take vitamin C to build up my resistance.But what I like the most is drinking “Erkltungstee”For German people，Erkltungstee is what their grandmother gives them when they catch a cold.Its a tea bag mainly made of lime flower and orange rind.Another popular cold remedy in Germany is chicken soup.During my first winter in Germany，I got a really bad cold.My neighbor brought me a bowl of chicken soup to make me feel better.It contained a lot of ginger，onion，garlic，carrots and celery.Germans believe these ingredients are perfect for helping your body recover.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文，主要講述了作者在德國如何應(yīng)對感冒的故事。1How did the author feel after seeing the German doctor?ARelieved.BSurprised.CSatisfied.DStressed.【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的“The first time this happened，I was shocked”可知，作者第一次在德國看醫(yī)生時，醫(yī)生的應(yīng)對方式讓他很震驚。【答案】B2According to the author，what effect do antibiotics have on his cold?AThey cure his cold.BThey prevent the disease.CThey kill the virus in him.DThey make him feel better.【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的第二句“The drugs I used only relieved the symptoms”可推知，作者之前生病時所吃的抗生素只是緩解了感冒的癥狀，讓自己感覺好一些而已?！敬鸢浮緿3What do Germans think of “Erkltungstee”？AIt can replace any cold remedy.BIt can build up ones resistance.CIts a good way to selfmedicate.DIts better than chicken soup.【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的最后一句“But the longer I stayed in Germany，the better I knew how to selfmedicate as other Germans do”并結(jié)合最后一段所列舉的Erkltungstee的例子可知，它是一種自我療法。【答案】C4What can we infer from the text?AGermans tend not to use antibiotics to treat cold.BThe author often catches a cold in Taiwan.CThe author seldom drinks chicken soup.DGerman doctors are cold to patients.【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段和最后一段的整體內(nèi)容可知，德國人感冒后醫(yī)生是不給開藥的，而且德國人有自我療法。由此可推知，德國人不會感冒了就去吃抗生素?！敬鸢浮緼B(2016山東省實驗中學(xué)高三第三次診斷考試) Kenji Croman has broken his bones，his shoulder and elbow, and nearly drowned several times.Hes also had three close encounters with sharks over the years.A 10foot wave landed directly on top of him five years ago, bending his body to the point that he actually kicked himself in the head.“I literally heard every bone in my body crack.” he said.Croman has been photographing ocean waves since 2008, sometimes risking his life to get that perfect shot at the surf break.Despite the risks and certain injuries that come with wave photography, the Hawaii resident, body surfer and former competitive swimmer，wouldnt do anything else.The 36yearold photographer loves the thrill of meeting breaking waves head on, shooting waves as his interest and shooting surfers to pay the bills.The process of photographing waves requires more than just swimming out to where the surf breaks and waiting, he says.The night before a photo shoot Croman checks Surfline.com，a website and the coastal camera network that provides live and predicted ocean weather information, to see what the winds, waves and tide will be like at certain times.Croman has both a primary camera and a backup for emergencies.He goes without a wetsuit and uses heavy duty underwater housing to protect his camera.There is no great way for him to protect himself.He admits there are probably protective clothes he should be wearing, but there is little he could have done to decrease the impact of the 10foot wave that crashed on top of him.The hardest part of Cromans job is staying calm in the face of breaking waves when his initial reaction is to panic and swim away.At most, Croman will take two to three shots of a single wave.“Ive shot waves for so many years now that I see the wave in slow movement，” he said.【語篇解讀】這是一篇寫人的記敘文。曾是游泳隊員，身體沖浪的夏威夷居民Kenji Croman現(xiàn)在的職業(yè)是海浪攝影師。這是一份需要莫大勇氣卻又充滿冒險和刺激的工作。巨浪的拍打使他的身體多個部位骨折，還多次險遭鯊魚的襲擊，然而Kenji Croman卻樂此不疲。5What do we know about Kenji Cromans job from the first paragraph?AIt is a game of death.BIt is full of mysteries.CIt requires patience.DIt calls for courage.【解析】推理判斷題。由第一段的描述可知，在Kenji Croman的攝影生涯中，他多次面臨生命危險，身體遭受極大痛苦，但他沒有因此而放棄自己的工作。由此可見這是一份要求從業(yè)者具備莫大的勇氣的工作?！敬鸢浮緿6How does Kenji Croman make a living?ABy taking swimming races.BBy teaching photography.CBy shooting surfers.DBy surfing waves.【解析】事實細節(jié)題。由“.shooting waves as his interest and shooting surfers to pay the bills.”可知答案為C。【答案】C7Why does Kenji Croman check the websites like Surfline.com?ATo get better prepared for shooting.BTo predict something about weather.CTo learn more about surfing waves.DTo buy better equipment for safety.【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“.that provides live and predicted ocean weather information, to see what the winds, waves and tide will be like.”可知，Kenji Croman每次出海前都要了解一下海上天氣狀況，其目的是為順利攝影做好充分的準備，以應(yīng)對突發(fā)情況。故正確答案為A?！敬鸢浮緼8What would be the best title of the text?ATaking adventures around the oceanBRisking his life for the perfect waveCMaking preparations for life risksDAppreciating breaking waves in danger【解析】標題歸納題。這篇短文的主題就是贊揚Kenji Croman為拍攝好的作品而不惜冒險的行為，因此最佳答案為B?！敬鸢浮緽C(2016山東省濟寧市第一中學(xué)高三二模)Noah Webster, born on October 16, 1758, is known for The American Dictionary of the English Language.He has been called the“Father of American Scholarship and Education.”His“BlueBacked Speller”books were used to teach spelling and reading to five generations of American children.But how much do you know about him beyond that?At the age of 16, Noah Webster began attending Yale College.Unfortunately, he spent his four years at Yale during the American Revolutionary War, and, because of food shortages, many of his college classes were held in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Later, he served in the army.Having graduated from Yale in 1778, Webster wanted to continue his education in order to earn his law degree.He had to teach school in order to pay for his education.He set up many small schools that didnt survive, but he was a good teacher because instead of forcing his students to learn, like what most teachers did, he rewarded them.He earned his law degree in 1781, but did not practice law until 1789.Once he started he found the law was not to his liking.Webster did not have much money.In 1793, Alexander Hamilton lent him $1,500 to move to New York City to edit a newspaper.In December, he founded New Yorks first daily newspaper，American Minerva，and edited it for four years.For decades, he published textbooks, political essays, a report on some diseases, and newspaper articles for his party.He wrote so much that a modern list of his published works required 655 pages.Noah Webster died on May 28, 1843 and was buried in the Grove Street Cemetery.【語篇解讀】這是一篇寫人記敘文。介紹了美國著名詞典編纂者被譽為“美國學(xué)術(shù)和教育之父”厄諾韋伯斯特的一些鮮為人知的人生經(jīng)歷。9Which of the following best describes Websters life at Yale?ATough.BSmooth.CNormal.DTiring.【解析】推理判斷題。第二段中講到，厄諾韋伯斯特在耶魯大學(xué)四年趕上美國獨立戰(zhàn)爭，食物缺乏。由此可知，他當時的耶魯?shù)纳钍欠浅ＦD難的。故答案為A?！敬鸢浮緼10. What did Noah want to be after graduation from Yale?AA teacher.BA lawyer.CA headmaster.DA scholar.【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Having graduated from Yale in 1778, Webster wanted to continue his education in order to earn his law degree.”得知韋伯斯特從耶魯大學(xué)畢業(yè)后，為了獲得律師學(xué)位想繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)。因此答案為B。【答案】B11What can we infer from Paragraph 4?AWebster was a most productive author.BWebster led a miserable life in New York City.CWebsters books added up to 655 pages.DWebster didnt write any political works.【解析】推理判斷題。由第四段“For decades, he published textbooks, political essays, a report on some diseases, and newspaper articles for his party.He wrote so much that a modern list of his published works required 655 pages.”可知韋伯斯特出版過課本、政治論文、關(guān)于疾病的報道、報紙上刊登文章。這都表明韋伯斯特是一位多產(chǎn)的作者。故選A。 【答案】AD(2016北京高考)Why College Is Not HomeThe college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy (自主性) and the development of adult identity.However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, during which many of todays students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.For previous generations, college was a decisive break from parental control；guidance and support needed to come from people of the same age and from within.In the past two decades，however，continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cell phones, email and social media，have increased significantly.Some parents go so far as to help with coursework.Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility，college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation.This process involves “trying on” new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually (在思維方面) and personally.While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views.Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered by strict debate and questioning.Learning to deal with the social world is equally important.Because a college community (群體) differs from the family，many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging.If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults：the response to being controlled by their elders.If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined (規(guī)定) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, particularly when there are reasons to do so.Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency.What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescents desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world.Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.Every college discussion about community values，social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and selfregulation，of the necessary tension between safety and selfdiscovery.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇議論文。大學(xué)生走出了家門，還沒有進入社會，因此他們的大學(xué)時期應(yīng)該是從受家庭庇護到擁有自主性和承擔(dān)起成年人的職責(zé)的一個過渡時期。但是隨著手機等社交傳媒的應(yīng)用，大學(xué)生依舊受到家庭的管制和庇護。作者針對這一問題發(fā)表了自己的看法，探討了校方應(yīng)該如何處理。12Whats the authors attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students?ASympathetic.BDisapproving.CSupportive.DNeutral.【解析】推理判斷題。第一段中作者提到大學(xué)期間應(yīng)該讓學(xué)生培養(yǎng)自主性，讓他們向成年人的身份轉(zhuǎn)變，但是如今的大學(xué)生沒有肩負起成年人的職責(zé)；第二段中作者分析了原因，指出這是因為家長在孩子讀大學(xué)之后還通過手機、郵件等方式幫助上大學(xué)的子女，結(jié)果，大學(xué)就成了與家庭一樣的環(huán)境。由此可推知，作者對于這種現(xiàn)象是不贊成的，故選B項。【答案】B13The underlined word “passage” in Paragraph 2 means _.AchangeBchoiceCtextDextension【解析】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在句子的前后語境可知，此處指把大學(xué)階段作為從受到家庭的庇護到擁有自主性和擔(dān)負起成年人職責(zé)的“轉(zhuǎn)變”，故選A項change。【答案】A14According to the author，what role should college play?ATo develop a shared identity among students.BTo define and regulate students social behavior.CTo provide a safe world without tension for students.DTo foster students intellectual and personal development.【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可知，大學(xué)教育應(yīng)該嘗試新的方法培養(yǎng)學(xué)生在思維方面和個性方面的發(fā)展，故D項正確。由第四段內(nèi)容可知，學(xué)生如果依靠管理方來規(guī)范他們的社交行為和思維模式，就不能面對在一個更大和復(fù)雜的社交環(huán)境中尋找自己的身份帶來的挑戰(zhàn)，故排除A項(應(yīng)該是鼓勵他們finding an identity)；由第五段內(nèi)容可知，大學(xué)監(jiān)管和塑造學(xué)生的行為表現(xiàn)會引起學(xué)生的反感，故排除B項；最后一段說，大學(xué)在社會價值、風(fēng)尚和行為規(guī)范方面的討論應(yīng)該包括對學(xué)生自治和自我規(guī)范的發(fā)展的重要性的認識、對安全和自我發(fā)現(xiàn)之間必要的緊張關(guān)系的認識，故排除C項。【答案】D15Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?I：IntroductionP：PointSp：Subpoint(次要點)C：Conclusion【解析】文章結(jié)構(gòu)題。通讀全文可知，第一、二段起到以目前大學(xué)教育現(xiàn)狀導(dǎo)入的作用，第三段是第一個主要點(大學(xué)教育應(yīng)該嘗試新的方法培養(yǎng)學(xué)生在思維方面和個性方面的發(fā)展)，第四段是第二個主要點(培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的社會實踐能力)，第五、六段是第二個主要點的次要點，第七段是結(jié)論(大學(xué)探討應(yīng)該包括意識到培養(yǎng)學(xué)生自主性、自我規(guī)范等方面的重要性)?！敬鸢浮緾.閱讀填句(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)(2016山東省濰坊市重點中學(xué)高三12月階段性教學(xué)質(zhì)量檢測)A new report says plastics are responsible for $13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environment.The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference.16Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways.17After a while, it collects in the sea.And plastic never goes away.Plastic is not biodegradabledestroyed by bacteria or natural processes.Instead, it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time.The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants.18That means harmful material may get into our food supply.19Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it.They can use fewer single use product containers and throw plastics away correctly.Plastic recycling programs also workwhere old bottles and other plastics are collected, broken down and used to make new products.We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to, rather than end it after the first use.We could, when we get rid of that plastic, recycle it and reuse it, which replaces the need for raw materials.The report also calls on companies to improve methods for using plastics.20And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use.By putting a new value on plastic, industry has a special reason to clean up the environment.But all of the companies must join to deal with the problem.AThen, fish may eat the plastics.BIt asks for them to better measure and direct plastic use.CThe plastic eventually reaches coastal areas and ocean waters.DThe report tells about harm to sea life and what might be done to improve the situation.EPlastics should be gathered together and reused.FBut people can make a big difference.GIt is convenient to use plastic bags in everyday
