模塊綜合檢測(四)(滿分：120分；時間：100分鐘).閱讀理解(共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分)AWe do not usually think about how our language works.Talking is such a natural，everyday activity that we do not often stop to consider how it actually works.When we do study our language，though，we are often surprised that we are able to understand our conversations.Words can mean so many different things.However, it turns out that the speaking situation helps a lot in making language work.First，the speaking situation helps make words more particular.For example，the word “dog” can describe a dog that a speaker saw in a dream.It can also be used to discuss a neighbors dog.No language has a separate word for the idea “dog that I saw yesterday” and another word for the idea “dog that I saw in a dream”This is because the speaking situation makes it clear what speakers mean when they use words.So，when you have a conversation with your neighbor, the knowledge that you have a dog tells your neighbor what the word “dog” probably means in that situation.The speaking situation also helps make language clearer.For example，the word “bank” has two possible meanings.It can mean “a place where people keep money” ，but it can also mean “the side of a river”So the sentence “I went to the bank” is not clear.It could mean I went to the side of the river or it could mean I went to the place where my money is kept.However，if the speaker is talking about fishing or going to the mountains，others probably know that “bank” means “the side of a river”The things that speakers say may not always be clear.Sometimes the words are not very particular，but the speaking situation can provide the meaning.Other times words may have many meanings.Then the speaking situation limits the right meaning.This extra knowledge from the situation is very important to understand language.【語篇解讀】本文講述了語境對語言的理解起著很大作用。1The passage is mainly about .Athe best time and place to talk to othersBhow the speaking situation helps language workCwhat to say in difficult situationsDhow our language works【解析】主旨大意題。本文講述了語境對語言的理解起著很大作用。故選B?！敬鸢浮緽2According to the passage，we can safely say that .Athe speaking situation does not affect the meaning of wordsBspeaking is not very natural for most peopleCthe speaking situation is not importantDpeople often do not consider how talking works【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“We do not usually think about how our language works.Talking is such a natural，everyday activity that we do not often stop to consider how it actually works”可知，選D?！敬鸢浮緿3By using the example of the word “dog” ，the writer wants to show that .Aa word may need to be explained in a conversationBa word may have different meaningsCthe speaking situation helps people understand the particular meaning of a wordDthe meaning of words is not particular【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的第一句話“First，the speaking situation helps make words more particular”和下文的“For example”可知，下文正是用dog一詞舉例來論證第二段的第一句話。故選C?！敬鸢浮緾BIts the universal cry of parents.“Get a job！” Solimans mother told Soliman on the second day of his college breaks.After years of delivering furniture for his mothers store，he knew many people had things they wanted to get rid of.If he borrowed his moms truck，he could make a little money by carrying away their garbage.One night，Soliman came up with a name for his new businessCollege Hunks Hauling Junk.He advertised the next day，and within hours，his phone rang.He asked his friend Friedman to help.They made $220 in three hours by cleaning out a womans garbage.Soliman and Friedman earned $10,000 that summer.But the two werent ready to become fulltime garbage men after graduation.“We were trained to finish college and get a good job，” says Soliman，who first worked at a research firm.Friedman became an economic analyst.After working for the firm and the company for a while，both of them changed their minds.They quit their jobs and restarted their business，but had trouble finding a bank willing to lend them money.“Within months，” says Friedman，“we were pretty upset.” At last，one bank risked lending them $50,000.At first，they lost money.One customer asked them to deal with a dozen garbage cans filled with construction garbage.They measured the job by volume instead of by weight and charged just $130.“The cans were so heavy that it took us two and a half hours，” says Soliman，“and it cost us more than $250 to carry the load.”However，the tough experience taught them a lesson.They reduced the cost of unloading by recycling metals and electronics.Just four years later, they ran a nationwide company that earned $3 million in 2014.“I figured if Nick and I failed，wed learned more from failing than from not trying at all，” says Soliman.【語篇解讀】Soliman通過為媽媽的商店運家具，了解到許多人有不想要的東西。于是他有了一個想法通過運送別人不想要的東西來掙錢。他和朋友開始創(chuàng)業(yè)時遇到了一些困難，但是通過不懈的努力以及分析和總結，最后他們終于成功了。4What does Soliman find when helping to deliver furniture?ASome parents want their kids to work at college breaks.BMany families have things they dont want to keep.CHis moms truck works well in carrying heavy furniture.DIts hard to make money by carrying away the garbage.【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“After years of delivering furniture for his mothers store，he knew many people had things they wanted to get rid of”可知，Soliman在為母親的商店運送家具之后，他了解到很多人有他們不想要的東西。故選B?！敬鸢浮緽5What makes Soliman think of starting his new business?AHis working experience in his mothers store.BHis strong desire to make use of the garbage.CHis hatred for peoples throwing away things.DHis much available time at college breaks.【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的“If he borrowed his moms truck，he could make a little money by carrying away their garbage”可知，當他知道很多人都有不想要的東西時，他就想到如果他借媽媽的卡車來運走這些不想要的東西，他就可以掙到錢。所以這種想法應該是他幫媽媽做事時想到的。故選A?！敬鸢浮緼6How did Soliman and Friedman cut the cost of the company?ABy filling the cans with more garbage.BBy measuring the job by volume.CBy reducing the working hours.DBy recycling something useful.【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段的“They reduced the cost of unloading by recycling metals and electronics”可知，他們通過循環(huán)利用金屬和電子設備來減少運載的費用。故選D?！敬鸢浮緿7Which of the following can be learned from the passage?AEasier said than done.BNothing succeeds like success.CTwo heads are better than one.DNothing is impossible to a willing heart.【解析】推理判斷題。通讀全文可知，Soliman和朋友在創(chuàng)業(yè)階段很不順，但是通過堅持不懈的努力以及分析和總結，最后他們終于獲得了成功。這個故事也驗證了這句名言：有志者事竟成。故選D?！敬鸢浮緿CMost people who move to a foreign country or culture may go through some form of culture shock, and its degree is determined by the differences between cultures, the anxiety to adapt to a new culture and the familiarity with a new culture, etc.If you go, for example, to a culture that is far different from your own, youre likely to experience culture shock more sharply than those who move to a new culture knowing the language and the customs of it.It is important to understand and learn how to deal with culture shock if you adapt successfully to your new homes culture.There are four general stages of cultural adjustment, and being aware of them helps you understand that culture shock wont last long.Its just a process you are going through rather than a constant situation.The first stage is usually referred to as the “honeymoon” stage.Upon arriving in a new environment, youll be interested in the new culture.Everything will seem thrilling and everyone will seem friendly and helpful.During this stage you are merely taking in these impressions passively.But it isnt long before the honeymoon stage gives way to the second stagethe withdrawal stage.The excitement you felt before is gone and the problems arise.The language is hard to learn；people are unusual and unpredictable；friends are hard to make；and simple things like shopping and going to the bank are challenges.It is at this stage that you are likely to feel anxious and homesick, and you will probably find yourself complaining about the new culture or country.This is the stage called “culture shock”At some point, if you can manage it well, youll begin the transition into the next stage, the “recovery” stage, in which youll feel more confident functioning in the new culture.Customs and traditions are clearer and easier to understand.At this stage, youll deal with new challenges with humor rather than anxiety.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了來到異國他鄉(xiāng)的人們多多少少會遇到一些文化沖擊，他們在文化適應的過程中往往要經(jīng)歷四個階段，了解這些階段可以讓人們明白：文化沖擊只是階段性的，不會持久。8According to the passage, culture shock can be .Adealt with more easily for some peopleBreduced by learning the language aloneCavoided by knowing adjustment stagesDgot rid of by learning just the customs【解析】根據(jù)第一段最后一句中的“youre likely to experience culture shock more sharply than those who move to a new culture knowing the language and the customs of it”可推斷，文化沖擊對于某些人來說比較容易處理。故選A項?！敬鸢浮緼9The “honeymoon” stage here refers to .Athe first month after the weddingBthe period of excitementCthe stage of adaptationDthe holiday for a newlymarried couple【解析】根據(jù)第三段第二、三句“Upon arriving in a new environment，youll be interested in the new culture.Everything will seem thrilling.”可推斷，“honeymoon”是一個令人興奮的階段。故B項正確?！敬鸢浮緽10Which of the following doesnt belong to the second stage?ABecoming upset.BMissing family.CFeeling confident.DMaking complaints.【解析】根據(jù)第四段第四句“It is at this stage that you are likely to feel anxious and homesick，and you will probably find yourself complaining about the new culture or country.”可知，A、B、D三項均是第二階段的表現(xiàn)。故選C項?！敬鸢浮緾11What would be probably discussed in the paragraph that follows?AConsequences of culture shock.BChallenges in a new country.CPreparations for a new culture.DThe 4th stage of cultural adjustment.【解析】根據(jù)第二段第二句中的“There are four general stages of cultural adjustment”以及文章已談到了“honeymoon”“the withdrawal stage”和“recovery”這三個階段可推知，接下來應該要討論文化適應的第四個階段。故選D項?！敬鸢浮緿DDuring lectures, my students often ask which is the most difficult language to learn.Its not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration.For a persons first language these factors are unimportant because people learn their mother tongue naturally.So the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language.Studies have shown that native speakers of Spanish find Portuguese much easier to learn than, say, native speakers of Chinese, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different.So a persons first language affects their learning of a second language.The greater the differences between a second language and the first, the harder it will be for most people to learn.Many Westerners think that Chinese is the hardest language to learn because of its writing system and pronunciation.But for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing is less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.A recent study reported that British embassy staff found that the second hardest language to learn was Japanese.More surprising was the language that they found most problematicHungarian.In this case the issue was not the writing system (as both English and Hungarian use a similar alphabet) but grammatical complexity.Hungarian has 35 cases (forms of a noun according to whether it is subject, object, genitive, etc.) and it was this that caused the British diplomatic personnel most difficulty.One suspects they would have even more problems with Tabassaran, a Caucasian language with 48 cases, if they ever had to learn it.Teachers and the circumstances in which a language is learned also play important roles, as does each learners motivation for learning.If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their daytoday life.Put simply, no language is easy to learn well, though languages which are related to our first language are easier.Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge, but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another.In the end, it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者認為沒有一種語言是世界上最難學的語言，因為影響語言學習的因素是多方面的，包括一個人的第一語言與新語言的相似度、老師的指導、學習環(huán)境以及學習動機等方面。12According to the passage, who is likely to have the most difficulty learning a new language?AA Korean person learning French.BA Spanish person learning Portuguese.CA German person learning English.DA Chinese person learning Japanese.【解析】根據(jù)文章第二段中的“So a persons first language affects their learning of a second language.The greater the differences between a second language and the first，the harder it will be for most people to learn.”可知，一個人的第一語言影響了其第二語言的學習，如果這兩種語言差別越大，則其第二語言越難學。由此可推出，四個選項中，韓國人學法語最難。故答案選A?！敬鸢浮緼13Which language do British embassy staff find most difficult to learn?AJapanese.BCaucasian.CHungarian. DTabassaran.【解析】根據(jù)文章第三段第二句話“More surprising was the language that they found most problematicHungarian.”可知，對British embassy staff來說，最難學的語言是Hungarian(匈牙利語)。故答案選C?！敬鸢浮緾14Why does the author believe theres no single hardest language?AAll languages are equally difficult to learn well.BWith enough effort, any language can be learned well.CThere is not enough evidence to make any final conclusion.DPeoples background and learning situations determine which language is hardest.【解析】通讀全文可知，作者認為沒有一種語言是世界上最難學的語言，因為影響語言學習的因素是多方面的，包括一個人的第一語言與新語言的相似度、老師的指導、學習環(huán)境以及學習動機等方面。D項符合文意，故答案選D?！敬鸢浮緿15The writer is probably .Aa language learnerBa language teacherCa newspaper journalistDan embassy official【解析】根據(jù)文章第一段第一句話“During lectures，my students often ask which is the most difficult language to learn.”并結合全文可推知，作者很有可能是一名語言教師。故答案選B?！敬鸢浮緽.閱讀七選五(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)Taking good notes is a timesaving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways. 16 Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test.Third, notetaking offers variety to your study time and helps you to hold your interest.You will want to take notes during classroom discussions and while reading a textbook or doing research for a report. 17 Whenever or however you take notes, keep in mind that notetaking is a selective process. 18 The following methods may work best for you.Read the text quickly to find the main facts and ideas in it.Carefully read the text and watch for words that can show main points and supporting facts.Write your notes in your own words. 19 Note any questions or ideas you may have about what was said or written.As you take notes, you may want to use your own shorthand(速記)When you do, be sure that you understand your symbols and that you use them all the time. 20 AUse words, not complete sentences.BThere are three practical notetaking methods.CYou must write your notes on separate paper.DOtherwise, you may not be able to read your notes later.EYou will also want to develop your own method for taking notes.FThat means you must first decide what is important enough to include in your notes.GFirst, the simple act of writing something down makes it easier for you to understand and remember it.【答案】1620GEFAD.完形填空(共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分)When I met my husband, Mark, I found out that his parents speak only Spanish.As our relationship 21 ， I knew that I had to take it upon myself to learn the language.It was terrifying, but 22 and I wanted to make the effort.I thought that the best way to show his parents how much I 23 about their culture and their son was to enroll in(注冊) a Spanish school in Mexico to study and learn their 24 language.I know, I could have taken Spanish class anywhere, but I 25 that if I was going to really learn the language, I should 26 it.So I 27 to San Miguel Allende, a small Spanish colonial(殖民的) town in central Mexico, I 28 a house and enrolled in classes for a month.His parents were so 29 at it that they wanted to come and live with me for that month.We would be 30 ！ It actually 31 great.We cooked and shopped together, and in the evenings we would go into the town square and listen to 32 music.It so 33 that there were several friends of them living near the language school.We were often invited to attend their family 34 and social clubs.There I met some more friends 35 they really helped me a lot in learning Spanish.It was 36 .In the beginning, I only knew how to say “Hola”， but by the 37 of that trip I have a basic vocabulary and have started a great 38 with Marks parents.On the last day of school my husband flew down and we had a grand party to celebrate my “ 39 ”Needless to say, my trip to Mexico was well 40 it!【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述“我”跟丈夫相識時，發(fā)現(xiàn)他的父母只會說西班牙語。隨著“我”與丈夫關系的不斷推進，“我”決定努力學好西班牙語?！拔摇眻竺衔靼嘌勒Z課，并在他父母和朋友的幫助下，“我”的西班牙語獲得了突破，同時跟他父母的關系也很融洽。21A.improvedBprogressedCmatched Denvied【解析】根據(jù)上文中的“I met my husband”可知，隨著時間的流逝，我們的關系應該是有了“進展”。progress意為“進展”，符合語境?！敬鸢浮緽22A.exciting BtiringCeasy Dfrightening【解析】根據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but以及后半句“I wanted to make the effort.”可知，西班牙語既令人可怕又令人興奮。exciting意為“令人興奮的”，符合語境。故選A項?！敬鸢浮緼23A.set BbroughtCcared Dtalked【解析】句意：我認為向他父母展示我有多么關心他們的文化和他們的兒子的最好方法是care about意為“關心”，符合語境?！敬鸢浮緾24A.oral BspokenCforeign Dnative【解析】根據(jù)上文可知，西班牙語是作者的丈夫與他父母的母語(native language)，故選D項?！敬鸢浮緿25A.figured BcountedCdoubted Dunderlined【解析】句意：我知道我本來能在任何地方上西班牙語課，但我認為如果我打算真正地學習這門語言，我就應該用這門語言生活。figure意為“認為”，符合語境?！敬鸢浮緼26A.spend BliveCwork Den
