模块综合测评.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AIf you look down at our planet from outer space，most of what you see is water.In fact，oceans and seas cover more than 70 percent of the planets surface.Millions of years ago，there were no oceans on the earth.The surface of the earth was very hot，so water boiled away.As the earth cooled down，steam in the air began to fall down as rain.It rained and rained for many thousands of years and made the first seas on the earth.There are four oceans in the world the Pacific Ocean，Atlantic Ocean，Indian Ocean，and Arctic Ocean，from the largest to the smallest.They are all connected to one another.Oceans are a large and wonderful world full of strange and interesting animals and plants.More than 275,000 kinds of fish and other animals live in the ocean.Most of them live in the surface waters because there is enough food there.But there are also some unique (独特的) animals in the deepest part of the ocean.Some animals live their whole life in the ocean (such as whales) and others can spend time in the ocean or on land (such as sea lions)They are very important to our life.Believe it or not，half of the oxygen we breathe is produced by algae (藻类)，the oldest plants on earth! Each year we eat about 29 million tons of fish，much more than cattle，sheep and eggs.Without the oceans，we cannot live!1The second paragraph mainly tells us _.Ahow seas were formedBit was hot on the earth long agoChow rain was madeDthere were no oceans on the earth long ago【解析】主旨大意题。第二段主要讲述的是海洋的形成过程。【答案】A2From this passage we know that _.Athe whole world is covered with waterBall the oceans are connectedCthe Atlantic Ocean is the smallest oceanDthere are no plants in the sea【解析】推理判断题。本题的答案在第三段的最后一句。【答案】B3Most of the fish and other animals in the ocean live _.Anear the landBin the cold part of the oceanCin the surfaceDin the deepest part of the ocean【解析】细节理解题。由第四段第三句可知。【答案】C4We cannot live without the oceans because _.Athe oceans take up the most part of the earthBthere is too much water in the oceansCthe oceans are important to all animals and plantsDthe oceans provide us a lot of food【解析】细节理解题。由文章的最后一段可以看出，海洋为我们提供了生存所必需的食物。【答案】DBWe walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didnt even lift her eyes from the book.Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down.While I watched with mouth open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold.She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop(拖把)She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, “Very dirty floors.”“Yes, Im glad theyve finally decided to clean them，” the nurse answered.She looked at Mum strangely and said，“But arent you working late？”Mum just pushed harder, each swipe(拖一下)of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall.I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book.After a long time Mum came back.Her eyes were shining.She quickly put the mop back and took my hand.As we turned to go out of the door, Mum bowed (鞠躬)politely to the nurse and said, “Thank you.”Outside, Mum told me, “Dagmar is fine.No fever.”“You saw her, Mum？”“Of course.I told her about the hospital rules and, she will not expect us until tomorrow.Dad will stop worrying as well.Its a fine hospital.But such floors！A mop is no good.You need a brush.”5When she took a mop from the small room, what Mum really wanted to do was _.Ato clean the floorBto please the nurseCto see a patientDto surprise the storyteller【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后两段的内容可知，母亲是去看一位病人。故选C项。【答案】C6When the nurse talked to Mum she thought Mum was a_ .AnurseBvisitorCpatientDcleaner【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Yes, Im glad theyve finally decided to clean them， the nurse answered.She looked at Mum strangely and said，But arent you working late？”可知，护士把母亲当成了清洁工。故选D项。【答案】D7After reading the story, what can we infer(推断) about the hospital?AIt is childrens hospital.BIt has strict rules about visiting hours.CThe conditions there arent very good.DThe nurses and doctors there dont work hard.【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I told her about the hospital rules and, she will not expect us until tomorrow.”可知，答案为B项。【答案】B8Which of the following words best describes Mum?AStrange.BWarmhearted.CClever.DHardworking.【解析】推理判断题。从文章可知，作者的母亲在非探视时间里，装扮成一位医院的清洁工并借机去探望自己的孩子，故可推知，母亲是非常聪明的。故选C项。【答案】CCWe do some strange things when we dont like the way our life is going.Too often we blame (责怪) someone else.“I wish my parents were more understanding.”“I have such a bad chemistry teacher！”“My friends are so boring and selfcentered.They make my life worse and worse.”Blame! Blame! Blame!It seems natural to sing this selfpitying song，but the truth is, if you dont like your life，you should do something about it.No one else knows exactly how you feel or what you need.No one can read your mind correctly.You are the only one with the power to change your life，and if you want it to be different, you can change what youre doing.When youre in trouble, dont give away your power to decide how you feel about yourself.Choose how you want to think and act.Other people cant make you unhappy or angry.They only act in their own way and then its up to you to decide how you will respond(回应)For example, your friends go out to lunch without you and you feel very angry.How are you going to act? You may blame your friends, “They are not kind.Who needs them anyway？” Or you may tell your friends how you feel, listen to their explanation, and let them know youd like to be invited next time.When you decide everything in your own way, youre getting hold of your own life and shaping (塑造) it according to your tastes and feelings.You can choose to be happy, to make friends and to build an interesting life.When you blame others for what is or isnt happening in your life, you have stopped growing or learning.One of the most important rules is that you can never change another person by your direct action.The only person you have the right to change is yourself.Once you change, the other person has something different to respond to and change is possible.If you want change in your life，begin with yourself.9If the writers friends have dinner togetherwithout him, he may_.Aask somebody else to talk to themBdo the same thing to them in returnCtalk to them and try to find out whyDforget it and be still friendly with them 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第六段“You may blame your friends，They are not kind.Who needs them anyway？Or you may tell your friends how you feel，listen to their explanation, and let them know youd like to be invited next time.”并结合作者的观点可知。【答案】C10At the beginning of the passage three examples are given _.Ato support the idea that people often blame othersBto suggest that there are various problems in peoples lifeCto show that not all chemistry teachers are fit for their jobDto explain the reason why some peoples life is worse and worse【解析】写作方法题。根据文章第一段“We do some strange things when we dont like the way our life is going.Too often we blame(责怪) someone else.”可知。【答案】A11Whats the best title of the passage?ABlame!

a study of Dutchmen in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed (吃) at least an ounce of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the longheld belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year.But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do.There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middleaged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about twothirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease.The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos.This_relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.【语篇解读】本文介绍了吃鱼的好处，特别是能降低心脏病的发病率。12The passage is mainly about_.Athe effect of fish eating on peoples health Bthe high incidence of heart disease in some countriesCthe daily fish consumption of

“This relationship” may refer to the connection between _ and the level of heart disease.Athe amount of fish eatenBthe kind of fish eatenCregular fisheatingDpeople of different areas【解析】词义猜测题。画线短语指的是前面讲到研究结果：定期吃鱼有助于降低心脏病发病率。【答案】C15In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage?AAds.BMovies.CBriefs.DHealth and Diet.【解析】推理判断题。由文章可知，只能是出现在健康与饮食版面上。【答案】D.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。If you like exploring the wilderness(荒野), you should read the following suggestions from
