Module 1综合检测时间100分钟满分120分第一部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。AIf youre not getting along with your neighbours, or your social life is stagnant, consider getting a pet, preferably a dog. A new Australian study has found that pet owners tend to interact more positively with their neighbours and wider community, and be out and about more. And dog owners seem to be the friendliest and most social of all. Lisa Wood, a lecturer at the University of Western Australia，with her colleagues conducted a random telephone survey of 339 adults from three suburbs in the Western Australian capital Perth, asking questions about pet ownership and social interaction. They found that pet owners were more likely than people who didnt own a pet to acknowledge and exchange informal greetings with people from their neighbourhood, often while they were out with their pet, and to exchange favours with their neighbours. Dog owners, in particular, seemed to enjoy good social contact. For example, more than half indicated that they had got to know people in their suburb as a result of their pet, and more than fourfifths talked to other pet owners when they walked their dog. But in general, pet owners, including goldfish owners, appeared to be more social than people who didnt own a pet，with fewer numbers reporting it hard to get to know people in their neighbourhood. The research suggests owning a pet also motivates people to walk and use local parks, providing opportunities to meet new people；acts as a catalyst for taking part in community activities, and as a protector of mental health, which influences the ability to take part in community events and interact with local people.1According to the Australian study, _.A. getting a pet can make you busierB. the pet owners are always ready to help others every dayC. your social life depends on whether you own a pet or notD. the pet owners can benefit a lot from keeping the pet答案：D推理判断题。第一段第二、三两句话表明：饲养宠物可以使你以更积极的心态和周围的人交往，使你更加社会化。另外结合全文也能看出。2Who would like to go out and communicate with others according to this passage?A. The local rich people.B. People keeping goldfish.C. People without any pets. D. The people in community.答案：B细节理解题。根据第三段中“acknowledge and exchange informal greetings” “were out”和“exchange favours”等词汇都能说明饲养宠物的人乐于和周围的人交往。3All the following are the advantages of keeping pets EXCEPT that _.A. some pet owners find it not easy to get along with othersB. pet owners are usually more friendly to othersC. pet owners are likely to communicate with othersD. keeping pets does a lot of good to the owners health答案：A细节理解题。从全文来看，饲养宠物有很多好处，其中包括B、C、D三项；A项符合题意。4The author uses the word “motivates” in the last paragraph to mean _.A. reminds B. advisesC. encourages D. requires答案：C词义猜测题。根据上下文的意思motivate在这里是“激发，启发，鼓励”之意。BChildren are getting so fat that they may be the first generation to die before their parents, an expert says.Todays young people will be affected by potential (潜在的) killers such as heart disease because of their weight. Fatty fastfood diets combined with the lifestyles with televisions and computers could mean kids will die young, says Professor Andrew Prentice, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. At the same time, the shape of the human body is going through a great change because adults are getting so fat.Here in Britain, the latest research shows that the average waist (腰) size for a man is 3638 inches and may be 4244 inches by 2032. This compares with only 32.6 inches in 1972. Womens waists have grown from an average of 22 inches in the 1920s to 24 inches in the 1950s and 30 inches now. One of the major reasons why children now are at greater risk is that we are getting fatter younger. In the UK alone, more than one million under 16 years old are thought to be overweight or obese (肥胖的)double the number in the 1980s. One in ten of fouryearolds are also medically said to be obese.The obesity which started in the US, has now spread to Europe, Australia, Central America and the Middle East. Many nations now record more than 20 percent of their population as obese and well over half the population as overweight.Professor Prentice says the change in our shape has been caused by highenergy foods combined with a dramatic (急剧的)drop in the energy we use as a result of technology developments.He is not alone in his concern. Only last week one medical magazine revealed how obesity was fuelling a rise in cancer cases. Obesity also increases the risk factor for heart disease and so on. An averagely obese persons lifespan (寿命) is shortened by around nine years while a seriously obese person by many more.Professor Prentice says，“So_will_parents_live_longer_than_their_children,_as_an_American_obesity_expert_said_recently？”“The answer is yesand no.” Yes, when most children become obese. No, because this is now becoming an alarmingly serious problem in the US. “Such children will have a greatly reduced quality of life on both body and mind.”So say “No” to sandwiches and hamburgers.5From the second paragraph, we know that _.Aheart disease is caused by peoples weightBbad living habits make children die youngCincreasing weight could kill young peopleDadults know how to change their shape of body答案：C细节理解题。从第二段第一句可知肥胖引起了许多疾病，成为年轻人的健康杀手。6According to Professor Prentice, people become fatter because _.Athe energy people take in is more than they needBhigh technology makes people use less energyCfood contains too much energyDpeople like to eat fast food答案：A推理判断题。从第五段内容可知Professor Prentice认为现代人体形的急剧改变主要是因为摄入的能量多于消耗的能量。7For the underlined question, the answer “no” suggests _. A. children should refuse fastfood diets B. childrens obesity is becoming more and more serious C. Americans have realized the bad consequence of the obesity D. the government should call on fat people to lose weight as soon as possible答案：C推理判断题。 由倒数第二段第三句可知，美国人已经认识到了肥胖的坏结果。8Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Obesity ProblemB. Spotlight on Kids ObesityC. To Get Away from ObesityD. Will Children Die before Their Parents答案：B主旨大意题。综观全文，主要讲的还是儿童肥胖问题。C The concept of good manners varies a lot when we compare different cultures, values and ways of living. However, when we talk about the western part of the world, the differences are not so big. In my opinion, going to a restaurant in Brazil will rarely be an embarrassing(令人尴尬的) situation. But there are some basic and necessary rules of etiquette(礼节)that Brazilians usually respect every day. They are： Being on time is polite, but it is not a strict rule in Brazil. Being late for up to 15 minutes probably will not make a Brazilian angry. When you go to a restaurant, be careful to greet the people who work at the place, and dont forget to greet the people who are already waiting for you at the table. Its not necessary to hug or kiss everybody if they are already seated.You can ask somebody about how the food is prepared and also about prices or tips if you are not sure about them. Before they start eating, Brazilians usually say “born appetite” to their friends. You should never talk to another person while you still have some food in your mouth.Making noise while eating is also considered really rude. Avoid doing it.Be careful not to put your elbows(肘) on the table while eating. It is not terrible, but it can be considered a little bit rude by some people.Dont worry about the time. Usually people in Brazil stay seated for a long time, especially when they have interesting things to talk about.Its not necessary to talk in a really low voice because people there usually talk in a little loud voice. But please, dont exaggerate(夸张)Finally, saying “thank you” and “bye” are always seen in Brazil.9According to the writer, the concept of good manners in western countries is _.A. quite different from each otherB. not easy to tellC. not quite differentD. exactly the same答案：C细节理解题。从第一段第二句可知西方国家礼仪间的差别并不大。10From the first paragraph we can know that _.A. there are many rules of etiquette for you to remember if you go to a restaurant in BrazilB. it may easily get you into trouble if you go to a restaurant in BrazilC. it wont get you into a difficult situation in a restaurant in Brazil if you follow some necessary mannersD. it is unnecessary to remember the rules of etiquette before going to a restaurant in Brazil答案：C细节理解题。从第一段第三、四句可知， 了解巴西的一些必要的礼仪之后，在饭店里就不会遇上大麻烦。11According to the passage, it is impolite in Brazil to _.A. talk with your mouth fullB. talk in a bit loud voiceC. ignore time while chattingD. ask the prices of food答案：A细节理解题。通过第五点注意事项可知当嘴里有食物的时候说话不礼貌。12It can be inferred that in Brazil _.A. being late usually annoys the hostsB. guests usually hug or kiss the hosts when going to a restaurantC. it is bad manners to talk over mealsD. youd better not ask your host how the food is prepared答案：B细节理解题。根据第二条建议可推知，除非主人和先到的人已就座，否则应通过拥抱或亲吻来和他们打招呼，故正确答案选B项。A项与第一条建议“迟到15分钟以内，主人也许不生气”不符，根据第五条可推知，可以说话，只是不能嘴里含着食物和人说话，C项错。D项与第三条“可以询问菜肴是如何做的”不符。D Pretending to be happy can actually make you more miserableespecially if youre a woman, according to a new study. Researchers found that walking around with a forced smile and faking(假装的) happiness simply led to people feeling gloomier. So, putting_a_brave_face_on_your_woes_could_actually_be_counterproductive. The research found that women suffered more than men when pretending to be happy. Psychologist, Dr. Brent Scott, who led the study, said employers should take note because forcing workers to smile when workers were dealing with clients could backfire (产生事与愿违的不良后果). He said: “Smiling for the sake of smiling can lead to emotional exhaustion(枯竭) , and thats bad for the organization.” Dr. Scott said the research showed customer service workers who “faked smiles” throughout a day worsened their moods and then withdrew (退出) from work, so their productivity dropped. He added: “Bosses may think that getting their staff to smile is good for the organization, but thats not necessarily the case.” Dr. Scott, assistant professor of management at Michigan State University, analyzed a group of bus drivers during a twoweek period. The study is one of the first of its kind to examine emotional displays over a period of time and compare the different effect that they have on men and women. His team examined the effects of “surface acting”or fake smilingcompared to what was termed “deep acting”， or cultivating(培养) positive emotions by recalling pleasant memories. Dr. Scott said：“ Women were harmed more by surface acting, meaning their moods worsened even more than men and they withdrew more from work. However, they were helped more by deep acting, which meant their moods improved more.” Dr. Scott suggested women tended to suffer more when pretending to be happy because they were expected to be more emotionally expressive than men. Therefore, faking a smile while they are feeling down is more likely to go against their normal behavior and cause more harmful feelings. Although, “deep acting” seemed to improve moods in the short term, Dr. Scott said it was not a longterm solution to feeling unhappy. He said. “Youre trying to cultivate positive emotions, but at the end of the day you may not feel like yourself any more.”一项新的研究表明，假装快乐反而会让你觉得更加抑郁，对女性来说，尤其如此。13What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Forcing one to smile could make one feel better.B. Wearing a fake smile could worsen ones mood.C. Always smiling could improve ones performance.D. Wearing a fake smile could help one free from sadness.答案：B猜测句意题。第一段的第一句意为“假装快乐事实上会让你觉得更加痛苦”，根据语境可知画线的句子应和第一句意思相近， 因此最佳答案为B。14The finding of the research might serve as a warning to _.A. men B. employees C. customers D. bosses答案：D推理判断题。根据第二段的第二句“.employers should take note because forcing workers to smile when workers were dealing with clients could backfire(产生事与愿违的不良后果)”可知，研究者提醒雇主们要注意这一点，让员工在接待客户时强颜欢笑结果会适得其反。15According to Dr. Brent Scott, _.A. most bus drivers have to wear “fake smiles”B. “fake smiling” workers work better than usualC. “fake smiling” might lead to lower productivityD. bosses know the negative effect of forced smiles答案：C细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“.so their productivity dropped”可知，研究表明那些整天“假笑”的客服工作人员心情通常很差，而且工作积极性不高，因而他们的工作效率降低了。第二节(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。Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard.“_16_”Richard used to boast.“And youll be sorry you knew me，” George would reply, “because Ill be the best lawyer in the town！”George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money.
