1、模块整合训练(Units 13)(时间：100分钟；满分：120分).阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AAnimals do some pretty strange things.Giraffes clean their eyes and ears with their tongues.Snakes see through their eyelids (眼睑).But some strange animal tales are not true.Myth(谬论)One：Ostriches(鸵鸟)bury their heads in the sand when theyre sc
2、ared.This is completely wrong！The ostrich is the largest living bird，but its head is pretty small.If you see ostriches picking at the ground from a distance，it may look like their heads are buried in the ground.Ostriches dont bury their heads in the sandthey wouldnt be able to breathe！But they do di

4、dhearted humans who find a baby bird on the ground may want to return it to the nest.But the bird is probably learning to fly and shouldnt be disturbed.The tale may have been invented to keep people from handling young birds.Most birds have a poorly developed sense of smell；they wont notice a human
5、smell.One exception(例外)is vultures(秃鹫)，who look for dead animals for dinner，but you wouldnt want to mess with a vulture anyway!Myth Three：Penguins fall over backwards when they look up at airplanes.It is said that British pilots saw penguins fall over backwards like dominoes(多米诺骨牌)when they looked u
6、p at the sky.The experiment found that penguins are perfectly capable of maintaining their balance，even if they are watching airplanes.But the reality isnt funny，as lowflying aircraft can cause penguins to panic and leave their nests.【语篇解读】很多动物都有一些奇怪的行为。而本文介绍的是几件有趣的但被大家误解的事实。1What can we learn about
7、 ostriches?AThey dont have their own nests.BThey dig holes in the dirt for their eggs.CThey are the birds with the smallest heads.DIf they are frightened, they will bury their heads in the sand.B细节理解题。由Myth One中第三段“But they do dig holes in the dirt to use as nests for their eggs.”可知B项正确；A项文中没有提到；鸵鸟的
8、头并不是世界上最小的，所以C项错误；D项错误。2What can we learn from Myth Two?AMost people think the vulture is a lovely bird.BBirds prefer to look for dead animals for food.CAll birds have a strong sense of smell, except for vultures.DIt might have been invented to keep people from disturbing young birds.D细节理解题。由Myth Tw
9、o中第二段最后一句话可知D项正确；由Myth Two中第三段最后一句话“.but you wouldnt want to mess with a vulture anyway！”可知由于秃鹰的饮食习惯，没有人愿意打扰它们，可推知不可能有很多人认为它是一种可爱的鸟，所以A项错误；由Myth Two部分第三段“.vultures(秃鹫)，who look for dead animals for dinner.”可知B项错误；由Myth Two部分第三段可知C项错误。3Which of the following events is TRUE?ASnakes see through their e

11、e可知C、D项错误。4Where may this text have been taken from?AA science magazine.BA travel magazine.CA health magazine.DA geography magazine.A文章出处题。文章中对几种动物都做了详细的研究，然后才发现人们对它们的理解有所偏差，所以本文最有可能出自科学杂志。BMost young people enjoy some form of physical activity.It may be walking, cycling, or swimming，or in winter，sk
12、ating or skiing.It may be game of some kind football，hockey，golf，or tennis.It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment.Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship，and to take risks on high mountains
13、? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their relaxation.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game.There are no manmade rules，as there are for such games as golf and football.There are，of course，rules of a different
14、 kind which it would be dangerous to ignore(忽略)，but it is this freedom from manmade rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people.Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods. If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports，we might think that one big differen
15、ce is that mountaineering is not a“team game”We should be mistaken in this.There are，it is true，no“matches”between“teams”of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend，there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight
16、 forces that are stronger and more powerful than man.He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve skill year after year.A skier(滑雪者)is probably past his best by the age of thirty，and most international tennis cham
17、pions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps.They may take more time than younger men，but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort，and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.【语篇解读】文章介绍了登山的意义、登山的困难
