- 1 - 模块综合测评模块综合测评 (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) A It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams，the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life，but manners on the road are becoming horrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage，but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter altogether. Road politeness is not only good manners，but good sense too.It takes the most coolheaded drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand，a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions.But such behaviours of politeness are by no means enough.Many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it. However ， misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.Typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies. An experienced driver，whose manners are faultless，told me it would help if - 2 - drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately，modern drivers cant even learn to drive，let alone master the roadmanship.Years ago，experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more giveandtake from all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart. 1According to the passage，troubles on the road are often caused by _.

A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability.Plastics toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and 1960s.Decades later，however，plastics very durability(耐用性)is raising questions about how appropriate it is for onetime products such as plastic bags，or shortlived consumer goods，used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries.What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years? Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill，but its basic components are used as fertilizer(肥料)，and so will enrich the soil. Shrilk has great potential，the inventors said.Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature，found in everything ranging from shrimp shells，insect bodies to living plants.That makes shrilk low cost，and its mass production possible. Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab.The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet，so theyre exploring ways to use it in wet environments.Theyre also developing simpler production processes， which could be used for nonmedical products，like for computer cases and other products inside the home.Theyre even exploring combining it with other materials，like carbon fibers，to give it new properties. 【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一种新型材料 shrilk。由于其低成本、环保等诸多优点，有望成为塑料的替代品。 9. Paragraph 1 of the passage is mainly about shrilks_. Aremarkable design Binteresting name Cmajor features Dbasic elements 【解析】由文章第一段第一句“Harvard researchers have created a tough，lowcost，biodegradable(可生物降解的)material.”和最后一句“It is thin，clear，flexible and strong.”可知第一段主要介绍了这种新材料的特征。 - 6 - 【答案】C 10. What has become a concern about plastic? AUsing it properly. BProducing it cheaply. CDeveloping its properties quickly. DEvaluating its contributions fairly. 【解析】由第二段中“.plastics very durability(耐用性)is raising questions about how appropriate(可生物降解的)it is for.”一句可知，人们关切的是如何正确使用塑料。 【答案】A 11. What are the inventors doing in the lab? AReplacing carbon fibers with shrilk. BTesting shrilks use in wet conditions. CMaking shrilk out of used household goods. DImproving shrilks flexibility for medical purposes. 【解析】由文章最后一段前两句“Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab.The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet，so theyre exploring ways to use it in wet environments.”可知 B 项正确。 【答案】B 12. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

At one point along an open road，I came to a crossing with a traffic light.I was alone on the road by now，but as I drove near the light，it turned red and I made a stop.I looked left，right and behind me.Nothing.Not a car，no suggestion of car lamps，but there I sat，waiting for the light to change，the only human being for at least a mile in any direction. I started wondering why I refused to run the light.I was not afraid of being caught，because there was clearly no policeman around，and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it. Much later that night，the question of why Id stopped for that light came back to me.I think I stopped because its part of a contract(契约)we all have with each other.Its not only the law，but its an agreement we have，and we trust each other to honor it: we dont go through red lights. Trust is our first inclination(倾向)Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us.The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust， not distrust.We do what we say well do；we show up when we say well show up；and we pay when we say well pay.We trust each other in these matters，and were angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them. I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night. 【语篇解读】作者通过在深夜无人的晚上等红灯这件事，说明了等红灯是一种人与人之间的信任和约定，一个社会的建设依靠的也是人与人之间的信任。 13Why did the author get impatient while driving? AHe was lonely on the road. BHe was slowed down by a truck. CHe got tired of driving too long.

What was the authors immediate action when the traffic light turned red? AStopping still. BDriving through it. CLooking around for other cars. DChecking out for traffic police. 【解析】根据第二段的“as I drove near the light，it turned red and I made a stop.”可知，当遇到红灯时，作者的第一反应是停下来。 【答案】A 15. The event made the author strongly believe that_. Atraffic rules may be unnecessary Bdoubting others is human nature Cpatience is important to drivers Da society needs mutual trust 【解析】根据第四、五段可知，通过这件事情，作者认为人与人之间要相互信任。故选 D。 【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答案。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Different weather makes people feel different.It influences health， intelligence and feelings.In August ， it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States._16_ In the Northeast and the Middle West，it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times.People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
