-1-模块综合测评.阅读理解(共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。A Max Mathews has been called the father of computer music.He created electronic tools so that people could use computers as musical instruments.He had a great influence on the development of electronic music and how it is written，recorded and played.In 1957，Mathews wrote the first computer program that enabled a computer to create sound.At that time，he was working as an engineer at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey.His computer program enabled a large IBM computer to play a 17 seconds piece of music that he had written.The computer was so slow that it would have taken an hour to play tee piece of music in 17 seconds.For that reason，Mathews moved the work to a tape player，which could be sped up to play the music at a normal speed.He later said that the sound quality of the musical notes was not great，but the technical importance of the music was huge.Mathews continued creating other versions of the Music program.He became interested in how computers could help musicians outside recording studios.The Groove program he developed was the first computer program made for live performances.He also developed an electronic device he called the Radio Baton.The device looks like two drum sticks.It enables the user to control the speed and sound levels of orchestral music playing on a computer.The user does this by moving the two sticks on a special electronic surface.Mathews believed modern musicians are not making full use of the power of computer-2-music.He said a violin always sounds like a violin.But with a computer，the way a violin sounds is unlimited.He said he didnt want computer sounds to replace live music.But he said he hoped laptop computers would one day be considered serious instruments.【语篇解读】Mathews 是计算机音乐制作软件程序的创始人，这位作曲家可以通过数字合成器的指令和功能来操作计算机。1What do we know about Mathewss first piece of computer music?AIt took several minutes to play this music.BIt was written in the middle of the 1950s.CIt made the IBM computer work so slowly.DIt had the same good quality as other music.【解析】细节理解题。从第二段首句可知，他的第一首电脑合成音乐是在 20 世纪 50年代中期做成的，故选 B。【答案】B 2Mathews made the Groove program in order to _.Aimprove the sound quality of music Bcreate a record for recording studios Cimprove the live performances Ddevelop the computer music【解析】细节理解题。从第三段末句可知，The Groove program 主要是为现场表演而制作的软件，故选 C。【答案】C 3From the text we know that the Radio Baton is _.Aa computer program Ba piece of computer music Can electronic device Da recording studio【解析】细节理解题。从第四段首句可知，the Radio Baton 是一款电子设备，故选 C。【答案】C 4According to the text，Mathews hoped that_.Acomputer sounds would take the place of live music Bmodern musicians would make good use of computer music Ccomputers would change the musical instruments Dcomputers would be considered serious instruments【解析】推理判断题。从最后一段的内容尤其最后一句可知，答案选 D。-3-【答案】D B Shakespeare，more perhaps than any other writer，made full use of the greatest resources of the English language.Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English;Shakespeare in his works used about twentyfive thousand!There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it.Such a study is well worth the effort，even though some aspects of English usage，and the meaning of many words，have changed since Shakespeares day.However，it is surprising that we should know comparatively(相对地)little about the life of the greatest English author.We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564 in StratfordonAvon，and that he died there in 1616.He almost certainly attended the grammar school in the town，but of this we cannot be sure.We know that he was married there in 1582 to Anne Hathaway and that he had three children.We know that he spent much of his life in London writing his masterpieces.But this is almost all that we do know.However，what is important about Shakespeares life is not its details but its products，the plays and the poems.For many years scholars have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeares life to the small number we already possess and for an equally long time critics(批评)have been theorizing(理论化)about the plays.Sometimes，indeed，it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear under the great mass of comment that has been written upon it.Fortunately，this is not likely to happen.Shakespeares people have long delighted not just the English but lovers of literature everywhere，and will continue to do so after the scholars and critics and all their works have been forgotten.5Whats Paragraph 1 mainly about?AThe great varieties in writing styles.BThe great length of Shakespeares works.CThe richness of the content in Shakespeares works.DThe rich English language used by Shakespeare in his works.【解析】段落大意题。本段开头点出莎士比亚与其他作家相比较，对英语使用的最为充分，接着对其进行了例证，即其作品中的词汇是常人使用的词汇的 5 倍。由此可知 D 项正确。【答案】D 6According to the passage，which of the following remains uncertain about Shakespeare?AHis date of birth.BHis marriage.CHis life in the grammar school.-4-DHis date of death.【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“He almost certainly attended.cannot be sure.”可知，莎士比亚有没有上过语法学校不确定。所以选 C 项。【答案】C 7What does the last sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A.People dont think the poetry of Shakespeare good any more.BPeople pay more attention to the comment than the poetry of Shakespeare.CPeople cant read the poetry of Shakespeare any more.DThe comment is printed on the poetry of Shakespeare.【解析】推理判断题。在大量的评论之下，莎士比亚的诗歌看起来会消失，由此可以看出人们过多地观注了评论而忽略了诗歌。【答案】B 8“Shakespeares people”in Paragraph 4 refers to _.Athe characters in Shakespeares works Bthe people living in Shakespeares day Cthe readers of Shakespeares works Dthe people whose native language is English【解析】细节理解题。该段从侧面肯定了莎士比亚的作品，是“莎士比亚作品中的人物”为英语增加了光彩，也使热爱文学的人们感到愉悦。【答案】A C Mark Twain left school when he was twelve.He had little school education.In spite of this，he became the most famous writer of his time.He made millions of dollars by writing.His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens，but he is better known all over the world as Mark Twain，his pen name.Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby.In fact，he was not expected to live through the first winter.But with his mothers tender care，he managed to survive.As a boy，he caused much trouble for his parents.He used to play jokes on all of his friends and neighbours.He didnt like to go to school，and he constantly ran away from home.He always went in the direction of the nearby Mississippi.He was nearly drowned nine times.After his fathers death in 1847，Mark Twain began to work for a printer，who only provided him with food and clothing.Then，he worked as a printer，a riverboat pilot and later joined the army.But shortly after that he became a miner.During this period，he started to write short stories.Afterwards he became a fulltime writer.In 1870，Mark Twain got married.In the years that followed he wrote many books including-5-Tom Sawyer in 1876，and Huckleberry Finn in 1884，which made him famous，and brought him a great fortune.Unfortunately，Mark Twain got into debts in bad investments and he had to write large numbers of stories to pay these debts.In 1904，his wife died，and then three of their children passed away.At the age of 70，his hair was completely white.He bought many white suits and neckties.He wore nothing but white from head to foot until his death on April 21,1910.9Mark Twain left school at 12 to _.Awork as a printer Bwrite stories Cjoin the army Dmake a living【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段首句可知，马克吐温出生于 1835；再根据第三段他父亲死于 1847 可知他那时 12 岁；由第三段首句“.Mark Twain began to work.”可知，答案为D。【答案】D 10Which of the following about Mark Twain is NOT true?AHe was not a healthy boy.BHe caused much trouble for his parents.CHe gained lots of money by writing.DHe had a happy childhood but a sad later life.【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段首句可知 A 项正确；根据第二段的第四句可判断 B项正确；根据第四段尾句可知 C 项正确；D 项与文章所述事实不符。故答案为 D。【答案】D 11Arrange the following facts about Mark Twains life in order of time.aworking as a printer bworking as a riverboat pilot cworking as a miner djoining the army eworking as a fulltime writer Aa，b，c，d，e Ba，b，d，c，e Ca，c，b，d，e Dc，a，b，d，e【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段二、三、五句可知。【答案】B 12Which of the following would be the best title?AMark Twains Works BMark Twains Life-6-CMark Twains Fame DMark Twains Success【解析】标题归纳题。根据文章对马克吐温的童年生活、工作经历、婚姻及晚年生活的描述可知，本文属于对马克吐温的生平的简介。故答案为 B，其他选项过于片面。【答案】B D One of the most famous movie directors of all time was Alfred Hitchcock.He is most famous for his mystery movies.When he died in 1980，he had made over fifty complete movies.Hitchcock was born in London in 1899.He was very shy and he went to very strict schools.He studied to be an engineer，but he was always interested in movies.He used to go to the cinema as often as he could.In his free time he also used to write stories that he wanted to make into movies.Hitchcock gave up the idea of becoming an engineer when he got a small job with a movie company.Later he got a job as an assistant director.He often had some very clever ideas for filming movies，so later his employer gave him a chance to make a movie by himself.His first movie was made in 1920s，so of course it was a“silent movie”He made several other silent movies before he made“Blackmail”，which was his first talking movie，and of course was another mystery movie.In 1939 Hitchcock moved to Los Angeles，which was becoming the new centre for filmmaking.The first movie that Hitchcock made in the US was called“Rebecca”He got most of the stories for his movies from novels and plays.After reading a novel or play，he would create the movie script by himself，and choose the actors and actresses，and also decide where and how to shoot each scene.Hitchcocks movies are generally thought to be good movies because he did these things well:choosing of the story，writing of the script，selecting of the actors and actresses，and the creating of the scene.Hitchcock used to do most of these jobs entirely by himself.Alfred Hitchcock will probably always be remembered as one of the greatest movie directors of all time.He will be remembered for his mystery stories and for the number of good films that he directed.13In what ways did Hitchcock show an interest in movies when he was young?AHe went to very strict schools to learn it.BHe often read mystery stories.CHe was very shy but studies hard.DHe often went to the cinema.【解析】细节理解题。文章第二段讲述了阿尔弗雷德希区柯克的童年，也告诉我们他对电影感兴趣的表现是经常去看电影。-7-【答案】D 14Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AHis first chance was to appear in a film.B“Blackmail”was remembered as the most mysterious film.CHis first job was to work as an engineer.DHe filmed his first movie in England but the last in the US.【解析】推理判断题。阿尔弗雷德希区柯克开始在英国，后来到美国拍电影，由此可以推断 D 项为正确答案。【答案】D 15Which is the CORRECT order about Hitchcock?aHe moved to Los Angeles.bHe made a silent movie.cHe made over fifty films.dHe directed“Rebecca”eHe used to write stories.Aa，e，b，c，d Ba，b，e，d，c Ce，b，a，d，c De，a，d，b，c【解析】推理判断题。按照时间，首先发生的是童年的事情(e)；最后是总结他拍了多少电影(c)，排除 A、B 项；在 C 项与 D 项中，只要弄清 b 与 d 哪个发生在先即可选出正确答案，依据原文，他是先在 20 世纪 20 年代拍了无声电影，到 1939 年去美国后才拍了“Rebecca”，由此推出 C 项为正确答案。【答案】C.阅读填句(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分

poor.Whenever I speak to a Chinese student，they always say，“My spoken English is poor.”_16_ I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First，they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary._17_ However，you can speak with a limited vocabulary，if you choose a positive attitude.Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know._18_ Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous.Yet students should remember that their goal should be fluency not accuracy.Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them-8-correctly.However，in speaking your aim is fluency.You want to get your message across，to talk to someone in English，as quickly and as well as you can，even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense，but it doesnt matter._19_ The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening.You have one mouth but two ears！All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth，most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners.Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor._20_ AThe person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.BThey may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.CObviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.DIf you have this proactive outlook，then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.EHowever，their spoken English does not have to remain“poor”！FSecond，they are afraid of making mistakes.GThe second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.【答案】1620ECFAD.完形填空(共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。September 4
