Module 5 A Lesson in a Lab单元测试题第Ⅰ卷第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（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和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A ★★☆☆☆ Philadelphia (CNN) — Hazel Donnelly was taking her husband to the doctor when they got a call that their building was on fire. Her first thought was about Kramer. “I don’t have children of my own, so my cat is like my child. I became very sad,” said Donnelly, 50. “What if he didn’t make it?” Once she arrived home, Donnelly asked firefighters (消防员) to get her cat, but they were busy trying to control the fire. Then Red Paw Emergency Relief Team arrived. The organization helps pets and their owners for free when disaster strikes. Jen Leary, who set up the group, helped find the animals once the fire was out. “Everyone who received their pets started to cry,” said Donnelly. No one was hurt, but the Donnellys’ building was badly damaged (损坏), and they weren’t sure where they were going to stay. Donnelly was excited to learn that Red Paw could provide free short-term care for Kramer, her 17-year-old cat. “When someone loses everything in a fire, they shouldn’t then be forced to lose their pets — their family members — as well,” Leary said. “Letting them know, ‘We’ll take care of your animal like it is our own’ means the world to people.” After a big fire in 2011, Leary formed her organization. Since then, Leary and her group have provided help to nearly 1,000 animals and their families throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. Like the Red Cross, but for animals. Red Paw cared for the Donnellys’ cat for more than three weeks. “I cried when we were reunited,” said Donnelly. “They went above and beyond the call of duty. I am so thankful.” For Leary, helping families and their pets is what her work is all about. “My hope is that it’s a start, and they can move forward together,” she said. “After going through such a sad thing, it’s so good to have a happy ending.” 21. We can infer from the text that Kramer is _____. A. Donnelly’s husband B. Donnelly’s child C. a firefighter D. a cat 22. What do we know about Red Paw? A. It offers help to pets and their families. B. It was set up by Hazel Donnelly. C. It belongs to the Red Cross. D. It saves people in disasters. 23. The fire in the Donnellys’ building _____. A. took many people’s lives B. caused great damage to the building C. left Donnelly seriously hurt D. led to the loss of a family member 24. Who looked after Kramer for a long time after the fire? A. A doctor. B. Jen Leary. C. Red Paw. D. The Red Cross B ★★★☆☆ Welcome to Death Valley. The very name of this national park in eastern California might fill some people with dread, but you’re not afraid. You’re just out enjoying the desert sunshine. Besides, there’s nothing out here but some rocks. Some of the rocks in Death Valley weigh hundreds of pounds. And in the ground behind each rock is a mysterious trail (痕迹), as if the rock had been pushed along in the dirt. So who is moving the rocks? Nobody. It was nearly 100 years ago when these unusual “sailing stones” were first reported. People have been trying to find out the stones’ secret ever since. One early explanation was that winds were moving the stones. Other explanations have included animals, and, of course, aliens (外星人). Until the 1990s, one widely held theory was that the rocks were stuck in sheets (片) of ice that were being blown across the desert. (Death Valley does get cold enough for ice to form on some winter nights.) However, research later showed that to move such large ice sheets, the wind would have to blow at hundreds of miles per hour. There are strong winds in Death Valley — but not that strong. Then, in 2006, a scientist named Ralph Lorenz came up with a new theory. He suggested that in the winter, thick ice forms around the rocks. When the ground begins to thaw (解冻), the rocks, wearing ice, sail along, leaving trails behind them. Lorenz put his theory to the test in his own kitchen. He dropped a rock into a dish, added a little water, and stuck the dish in his fridge. Later, he took out the rock and placed it in a dish of water with sand at the bottom. Sure enough, with just a breath, Lorenz was able to send the rock moving across the water — leaving a trail in the sand as it moved. Has Lorenz solved the mystery of the sailing stones at last? Perhaps. On the other hand, neither Lorenz nor anyone else has ever actually seen the stones move. Maybe aliens are responsible after all. 25. The underlined word “dread” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_____”. A. fear B. anger C. surprise D. excitement 26. According to the theory in the late 20th century, the rocks were probably moved by _____. A. the ice B. the wind C. aliens D. animals 27. What did Ralph Lorenz find? A. The wind in Death Valley could reach a speed of 100 mph. B. The rocks in Death Valley couldn’t move by themselves. C. Death Valley could get cold enough for ice to form. D. Water helped the rocks in Death Valley move. C ★★★★☆ Dear friends and colleagues (同事) of Tom Blumenthal, We are organizing a celebration honoring Tom’s research career (生涯).

When asked how I was going to pay, I opened my purse to get my credit card (信用卡). It wasn’t there! Nell and I looked at each other in shocked silence. Then, from the line behind us, a voice asked, “How much do you need?” When I said we would need $300 to get us through our first week, the kind man gave us the needed money. We discovered he and his wife were returning home to Toronto a couple of weeks later on the same flight as we were, so we made sure to see them to return the money and give them a gift to thank them. I later found out I had left my card at a garage (加油站) in Toronto a week before our vacation. When I called the garage, they actually sent the card to us in Florida, where it arrived safely just a few days later.

We got off so quickly, though, that I forgot my purse. George ran after the bus but couldn’t catch up to it. Then I phoned the bus terminal to explain what had happened. Being in a city where I knew only a few people, I really didn’t think I’d ever see my purse and money again. But a few hours later there came a knock on the door. It was a security officer (保安), and he was holding my purse! “A passenger gave it to our driver,” he said. And then he asked me to see if anything was missing; everything was still there.

Some of these may be long-term (长期的) or 41 lifetime ones, and other dreams or wishes for more immediate satisfaction. Just as you 42 great pleasure when you’re trying to 43 short-term goals, there’s also power in having long-term and lifetime goals. Both 44 are valuable and serve each other. In order to be 45 in achieving a short- or long-term wish or goal, you must place your focus on the 46 result and train your mind on either a moment-to-moment, day-to-day, month-to-month, or year-to-year level. For example, 47 a farmer is to plow (耕地) a straight line, he must keep his eye on a faraway point. If his attention is 48 just a few feet in front of him, he will not plow straight.

If this very same runner was to set a goal to run 26 miles and keep his mind on the completion of this long 57 , not only wouldn’t he be sweating, but most likely he wouldn’t even be out of breath as he ran by the 58 mark. Long-term goals, 59 , can’t be achieved without first achieving 60 goals. We may have a goal to climb a ladder (梯子), but we have to take one step at a time in order to reach the top. 41.
