1、模块综合测评(二).阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)A(2016福建宁德高二上期中)I travel a lot，and I find out different “styles”(风格)of directions every time I ask“How can I get to the post office？”Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑的) in Japan because most streets there dont have names; in Japan，people use landmarks(地标) in the
2、ir directions instead of street names.For example，the Japanese will say to travelers，“Go straight down to the corner.Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest，there are not usually many landmarks.Ther
3、e are no mountains，so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles.Instead of landmarks，people will tell you directions and distances.In Kansas or Iowa，for example，people will say，“Go north two miles.Turn east，and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles，Cali
4、fornia，have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time，not miles.“How far away is the post office？”you ask.“Oh，”they answer，“its about five minutes from here.”You say，“Yes，but how many miles away is it？” They dont know.Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question
5、 sometimes.What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say.“Sorry，I have no idea.”But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers“I dont know.”People in Yucatan believe that “I dont know” is impolite.They usually give an answer，often a wrong one.A tourist can get very，very lost in Yucatan!【语篇解读】文章讲述的是
6、在问路时遇见的各国的文化差异。1When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place，they usually_Adescribe the place carefullyBshow him a map of the placeCtell him the names of the streetsDrefer to recognizable buildings and places【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“in Japan，people use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead
7、of street names”可知，在日本，人们在指路时习惯使用地标。【答案】D2What is the place where people measure distance in time?ANew York.BLos Angeles.CKansas. DIowa.【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段“they measure distance in time，not miles”可知B项正确。【答案】B3People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer_Ain order to save timeBas a testCso as to b
8、e politeDfor fun【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段“People in Yucatan believe thatI dont knowis impolite.They usually give an answer，often a wrong one.”可知C项正确。【答案】C4What can we infer from the text?A. Its important for travelers to understand cultural differences.BIts useful for travelers to know how to ask the way pro
9、perly.CPeople have similar understandings of politeness.DNew Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.【解析】推理判断题。文章讲述的是在问路时遇见的各国的文化差异。【答案】ABOne of my main concerns when I am helping people achieve their goals is how they measure success.I see individuals getting frustrated (挫败) as they struggle har
10、d for success.One of the main reasons that cause this frustration is that people allow their definition (定义) of success to be determined by someone or something else.Another is that they become frustrated at their own apparent (表面的) lack of success when comparing themselves to other people.We are in
11、dividuals with individual wants，skills and experiences.We should look our own skills to determine what is successful to us.We should look inward to determine what it would mean for us to be successful in our own mind rather than someone elses.Evaluating (评价) a successful person needs to look at his
12、pathway to success，his actions，his determination and translate that into his own experience to see how he can improve himself.You must set your own course of action，and stay on your course.You alone must determine what success means to you.Do what you do to the best of your ability and the rest will
13、 take care of itself.For example，I believe that I am successful but I am not a millionaire! Others may not see me as successful in their eyes but that does not matter.It is how I see myself that is important to me and my life.Here is the truth.Being a success is doing your best，not being the best.Su
14、ccess is not something you become; it is something you continue being.When we get to that point，we will experience a lot more joy and a lot less frustration.And that sounds good to us!Remember the great quote from Napoleon Hill，“If you cannot do great things，do small things in a great way.”【语篇解读】在走向
15、成功的路上，你是不是觉得很有挫折感呢？如果你的回答是肯定的话，请阅读本文吧！相信你会收获多多的。5In talking about success，the author thinks people feel frustrated because they_Aoften failBstruggle too hardCknow little about themselvesDcare too much about others thoughts【解析】细节理解题。由第二段可知，人们的挫折感在于太在意别人的看法。【答案】D6What does the author ask us to do?ABel
16、ieve success is ahead.BLearn from others to succeed.CGain as more skills as possible.DSet a suitable goal and stick to it.【解析】推理判断题。由第五段第一句话“You must set your own course of action，and stay on your course.”可知。【答案】D7Which is true according to the text?AIt is important to do small things.BWhat matters
17、is the course of trying to succeed.CYou will be successful once youve made up your mind.DWhether one can succeed depends on his determination.【解析】推理判断题。由第六段“Here is the truth.Being a success is doing your best，not being the best.Success is not something you become; it is something you continue being
18、.”可知，作者认为重要的是追求成功的过程，而不是结果。【答案】BCCheating is nothing new.But today，educators and administrators are finding that instances of academic dishonesty on the part of students have become more frequent and are less likely to be punished than in the past.Cheating appears to have gained acceptance among goo
19、d and poor students alike.Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows.Some blame the trend on a general loosening of moral values among todays youth.Others have attributed increased cheating to the fact that todays youth are far more pragmatic(实用主义的) than their more idealistic predecess
20、ors(前辈)While in the late sixties and early seventies，students were filled with visions about changing the world，todays students feel great pressure to conform(随大流) and succeed.In interviews with students at high schools and colleges around the country，both young men and women said that cheating had
21、become easy.Some suggested they did it out of spite for teachers they did not respect; others looked at it as a game.Only if they were caught，some said，would they feel guilty.“People are competitive.” said a secondyear college student named Anna，from Chicago.Theres an underlying fear.If you dont do
22、well，your life is going to be ruined.The pressure is not only from parents and friends but from yourself.To achieve.To succeed.Its almost as though we have to outdo other people to achieve our own goals.Edward Wynne，editor of a magazine blames the rise in academic dishonesty on the schools.He claims
23、 that administrators and teachers have been too hesitant to take action.Dwight Huber，chairman of the English department at Amarillo sees the matter differently，blaming the rise in cheating on the way students are evaluated.“I would cheat if I felt I was being cheated，” Mr.Huber said.He feels that as
24、 long as teachers give shortanswer tests rather than essay questions and rate students by the number of facts they can memorize rather than by how well they can combine information，students will try to beat the system“The concept of cheating is based on the false assumption that the system is reason
25、able and there is something wrong with the individual whos doing it，” he said，“Thats too easy an answer.Weve got to start looking at the system.”【语篇解读】本文对越来越多的学生作弊现象进行了剖析。有些人将之归咎于现代青年人道德价值观普遍松弛。另一些人则将之归咎于现在的学生比过去的学生更为实际。还有些人认为这种上升趋势应归咎于校方评估学生的方式。8Educators are finding that students who cheat _.Aare
26、more likely to be punished than beforeBhave poorer academic records than beforeCcan be academically weak or strongDuse the information in later years【解析】细节理解题。文章第一段最后一句话提到，学生不论成绩优劣，似乎都认可作弊行为，因此选C“成绩优或者劣的学生”符合原文意思。【答案】C9According to the passage，youth cheat because of_Athe eagerness to succeedBthe eas
27、iness to cheatCthe fear of competitionDthe impossibility to be punished【解析】推理判断题。文中提到了多种学生方面的作弊原因。只有A的表达与原文相符，可以回答题干的问题。B是文中提到的内容，但不是原因。学生们恐惧的是失败，不是竞争，不选C。作弊受惩罚可能性小了但不是没有，所以不选D。【答案】A10What does the underlined part“the system” refer to?AThe education system.BThe school system.CThe system by which sch
28、ools punish cheating.DThe system by which students are evaluated.【解析】词义猜测题。原文说Huber将作弊现象的原因归咎于评估学生的方式，后面引用他的话说明他的观点，学生们如果觉得考题和评分标准不理想，他们就会设法击败该制度。考题和评分标准正是学生评估体系的内容。【答案】D11Which of the followings would Dwight Huber probably agree with?AThe educational system is sound and students must follow every r
29、ule.BParents alone must take responsibility for the rise in student cheating.CThere should be some changes in the evaluation system.DStudents who cheat should be expelled from school.【解析】推理判断题。第三段中将作弊现象增加的原因归咎于评估学生的方式，最后说应该对这个体系加以审视。故可以推测C项正确。【答案】CDThe sound of music slowly fills the concert hall as
