模块综合检测(三)(满分：120分；时间：100分钟).阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AGrant Park is Chicagos main downtown park.It is located between Michigan Avenue and Lake Michigan.After the Great Fire of 1871, much of the dust was pushed into the lake, creating the fill for what is now the actual park.At the end of the 19th century, plans were made to develop the park and construct large buildings and commercial property(商地) in the park.But a Chicagoan citizen, AMontgomery Ward, wanted the park to remain open space as had already been decided in 1836, and brought the plans to court.After almost 20 years of battle in court, he won the case in 1911.As a result, the park remains open space, offering a great view on the cliff of buildings on Michigan Avenue.The Parks structure is based on the French parks with geometric(几何学的) designs.It consists of a series of bridges which cross the Railway tracks that are still on the parks mixture.After the bridges, the park is divided in sections with lawns, trees and monuments, one of them being a statue of Abraham Lincoln.The front near Michigan Lake provides a favorite track for many strollers(散步者), joggers and bikers.The main attraction in Grant Park is the Clarence Buckingham Fountain.The fountain was designed in 1927 by Kate Buckingham to honor her late brother Clarence.The design of the large fountain is based on the Bassin de Latome at the Palace of Versailles near Paris and was built by Edward HBennett.The Buckingham Fountain is best seen at night when it is animated with a computerized choreography of color spotlights.The Buckingham Fountain, which features a central jet shooting water up to 150ft (46m), is best seen at night.【语篇解读】本文介绍了美国芝加哥著名的公园Grant Park的历史和它的组成部分，还介绍了公园最吸引人的景点Clarence Buckingham Fountain的有关情况。1A.Montgomery Ward wanted the park to remain open space for .Acommercial interestBcitizens living conditionsCenvironmental protectionDthe citys development【解析】推理判断题。这个城市的居民A.Montgomery Ward反对把这块开放的地方转作商业地产，是为了市民有个好的生活空间，最终还是为了这个城市的发展，故D项正确。【答案】D2The first paragraph mainly tells us .Athe situation of Grant ParkBthe history of Grant ParkCthe development of Grant ParkDthe scenery of Grant Park【解析】段落大意题。第一段主要介绍了Grant Park的形成，也就是它的历史，故答案为B。【答案】B3The park .Ais of French style in structureBconsists mainly of bridgesCmakes a whole by separate partsDincludes Michigan Lake【解析】细节理解题。从第三段的第一句和第五段的第一句可以看出这个公园的设计是具有法国风格的。B项提到的主要是由桥构成的，不正确；C项中的由几个独立的部分构成一个整体也是不准确的，公园里的这几部分并不是分开的；这个公园也不包括D项中提到的Michigan Lake。【答案】A4What is most worth visiting in Grant Park?AThe statue of Abraham Lincoln.BA series of bridges.CClarence Buckingham Fountain.DThe Bassin de Latome.【解析】细节理解题。从最后一段的第一句话可以看出C项正确。【答案】CBA British shopper，Emma Mumford, who was named “the Coupon(优惠券) Queen” has spent just 350 on a luxury(奢侈) Christmas for her and her familybut got 2,500 worth of food, drink and presents thanks to coupons and offers.Ms. Mumford is a socalled “extreme couponer” and spends hours hunting out the best deals and bargains.She has been preparing for this Christmas since the end of the last one.Ms. Mumford made the huge savings by checking price comparison websites and as a result collected more presents than she needed for Christmas.After sorting out gifts for all of her family, she has even been able to donate 1,000 worth of presents to her local hospital.“It has been so nice to have Christmas sorted and not having to worry about breaking the bank.I wanted to get high quality presents for my family and show that you can do it without spending a fortune.There is a misconception that everyone who does couponing only gets value products but through my careful shopping I have managed to purchase designer perfumes(香水), a highend coffee machine.” she explained.She said “What started as a hobby to help me save money has turned into my life and I am able to run a business helping people save money.I know what it feels like to struggle as my expartner had a lot of debt which I took on for him.We were in a poor situation where every penny counted.Thats what really inspired me.”She has now turned her bargainhunting addiction into a business where she searches for the best deals and offers tips to the general public through video blogging and her Facebook page.“I try and show people that it is just a little bit of work in the beginning but it will eventually pay off.One of the best things to do is just to be a bit forward thinking and save throughout the year.”【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。Ms.Mumford是一个省钱达人，她通过比较不同网站上商品的价格从而节省了很多钱。Ms.Mumford用实际行动告诉大家，不用花一大笔钱就能买到高质量的商品。5. How did Emma make the huge savings?A. She compared prices through websites.BShe hunted out bargains in real shops.CShe used coupons and offers worth 2,500.DShe collected more Christmas presents than needed.【解析】事实细节题。由第二段“Ms. Mumford made the huge savings by checking price comparison websites”可知Ms. Mumford通过浏览有关物价对比的网站节省了很多开支。故答案选A。【答案】A6What does “breaking the bank” in the third paragraph mean?ABuying presents of low quality.BSpending more money than you have.CBreaking into the bank.DTaking out money from the bank.【解析】词义猜测题。根据划线词后面一句可知，Ms. Mumford想向大家证明不用花一大笔钱就能买到质量很好的礼品，据此可以推测划线部分是“透支银行账户”的意思。因此答案为B。【答案】B7What really inspired Emma to help people save money?AHer addiction to bargainhunting.BThe financial difficulties she shared with her expartner.CThe poor situation people around her were going through.DHer experience of running an unsuccessful business.【解析】事实细节题。根据倒数第三段可知，Ms. Mumford的前夫欠下了巨额债务，Ms. Mumford和前夫遇到的经济困难促使她帮助人们省钱，故选B。【答案】B8Which of the following can best describe Emma?AAmbitious and creative.BSensitive and determined.CBrave and lucky.DCareful and caring.【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段“but through my careful shopping”可知，Ms. Mumford是一个细心的人；又据第四段“I am able to run a business helping people save money”和第五段“she searches for the best deals and offers tips to the general public”可知，Ms. Mumford是一个关心他人的人，故选D。【答案】DCAfter moving to the United States, immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to choose high calorie fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American，a new study finds.Thats one reason why immigrants approach US levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to America.The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing unAmerican influenced respondents food choices.After being questioned about their ability to speak English,75 percent of AsianAmericans identified a typical American food as their favorite.Only 25 percent of AsianAmericans who had not been asked if they spoke English did the same.When their American identity was called into question during a followup study, AsianAmerican participants also tended to choose typical American dishes，such as hamburgers and cheese sandwiches.In that experiment, 55 AsianAmericans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant.Some participants were told that only Americans could participate in the study.Those who chose the more typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calories，including 12 grams of fat and 7 grams of saturated fat(饱和脂肪)“People who feel like they need to prove they belong to a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in，”said Sauna Cheryan，an author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at the University of Washington.“If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their lives，this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health.” Cheryan added.Social pressures，the study concluded, are at the heart of the problem.“In American society today, being American is associated with being white.Americans，who dont fit this image even if they were born here and speak English，feel that pressure to prove that theyre American，” said Cheryan.【语篇解读】移居美国是不少人的梦想，许多移民不惜以健康为代价千方百计融入美国社会。9According to the survey， .AAsianAmericans care less about their healthB25 percent of Americans like junk foodCchoosing food is related to AsianAmericans situationDimmigrants are forced to eat junk food【解析】推理判断题。从第二段的研究可知，75%的被询问过英语能力的亚裔美国人将一种典型的美国食物看作他们的最爱，而只有 25%的没有被询问是否说英语的亚裔美国人这样做，由此可推断选择食物与亚裔美国人的处境有关。【答案】C10The underlined word “fare” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “ ”Afood offered as a mealBa person taking a taxiCmoney spent on foodDan arranged thing to do【解析】猜测词义题。结合上文中的“In that experiment, 55 AsianAmericans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant.”以及画线词后面的内容可推知画线词表示的是提供的食物。【答案】A11According to Sauna Cheryan， .Awhat immigrants have done is ridiculousBAmerican traditional foods are healthierCimmigrants risk their health in order to fit inDAmerican culture affects immigrants deeply【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段后半部分中的内容可推断此人认为移民不惜以健康为代价去融入美国社会。【答案】CDYour house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.You can make your environment work for you instead of against you.Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights.Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating，for people are often less selfconscious(难为情)when theyre in poorly lit placesand so more likely to eat lots of food.If your home doesnt have enough window light，get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors.Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites.In one study，people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing，while cold colors make us feel less hungry.So when its time to repaint，go blue.Dont forget the clockor the radio.People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里)per meal than those who rush through their meals.Begin keeping track of the time，and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes.And while youre at it，actually sit down to eat.If you need some help slowing down，turn on relaxing music.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes.Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12inch plate instead of a 10inch plate.When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one，total intake(摄入)jumps by 14 percent.And well pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short，wide glass than a tall，skinny glass.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。当你在家里吃饭的时候，有没有担心自己吃得越来越多，正在变胖？快来看看吧，家里的环境，包括窗户和灯的亮度、墙壁的颜色以及吃饭的速度等都可以影响你的饮食。也许你肥胖的罪魁祸首就在你的家里！12The text is especially helpful for those who care about .Atheir home comfortsBtheir body shapeChouse buyingDhealthy diets【解析】细节理解题。根据文章首句“Your house may have an effect on your figure.”(你的房子可能会影响你的身材。)以及下面几个段落中提到的建议可知，本文是关于如何不变胖的，所以那些“关心自己体形的人”会觉得本文特别有帮助，故选B项。A项“家的舒适条件”；C项“购买房子”；D项“健康饮食”。【答案】B13A home environment in blue can help people .Adigest food betterBreduce food intakeCburn more caloriesDregain their appetites【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“.people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.”可知，人们在蓝色的房间里吃饭，要比在黄色或者红色的房间里少吃33%的食物，故B项“减少食物摄入量”正确。A项“更好地消化食物”，C项“消耗更多的卡路里”，D项“重新获得食欲”，都与颜色无关。【答案】B14What are people advised to do at mealtimes?AEat quickly.BPlay fast music.CUse smaller spoons.DTurn down the lights.【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里)per meal than those who rush through their meals.”可知吃饭越快吃得越多，排除A项吃饭速度快。根据第四段中的“If you need some help slowing down，turn on relaxing music.”可知播放令人放松的音乐能让吃饭的速度减慢，排除B项“播放节奏快的音乐”。根据第二段首句“Open the curtains and turn up the lights.”可排除D项“把灯光调暗”。根据最后一段中的“When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one，total intake(摄入)jumps by 14 percent.”(选择大的汤匙要比用较小的汤匙多吃14%的食物。)可知，应使用较小的汤匙，故C项正确。【答案】C15What can be a suitable title for the text?AIs Your House Making You Fat?BWays of Serving DinnerCEffects of SelfConsciousnessDIs Your Home Environment Relaxing?【解析】标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了墙壁的颜色、房间的亮度、吃饭的速度以及吃饭时使用的器皿大小等都与一个人的身材有关。因此A项“你的房子正让你发胖吗？”最适合做文章标题。B项“提供正餐的方式”，C项“自我意识的作用”，D项“你家的环境令人放松吗？”，均与本文的主题不符。【答案】A.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Getting your children to
