Module 2 Highlights of My Senior Year 单元测试题1
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

       My name is Jenna Berrios and I’m a senior at Rowan High School playing my first basketball season with Unified Sports. Becoming involved with Unified Sports has been one of the most rewarding (有益的) experiences of my senior year.
       Rowan’s Unified Sports Club has been the highlight of my final term. It’s a competitive sports club where Rowan students (Unified Partners) and the Special Olympics athletes come together to play on the same team for soccer (fall) and basketball (spring). The goal of Rowan’s Unified Sports Club is to promote (增进) friendship and inclusion through sports while still keeping a competitive atmosphere. But it’s not just playing! They provide a variety of other ways to take part and share in their cause. They hope and try hard to promote equality (平等) and inclusion in all aspects of the club. Unified Sports is a fun way to get involved at Rowan, meet new friends, and have a meaningful experience. They encourage people from all walks of life to join in the Unified family.
       Words cannot fully explain how much fun taking part in Unified Sports truly is. It not only brings joy and excitement into the Special Olympics athletes’ lives, but also the student athletes, parents and community (社区) as well. I personally look forward to Saturday mornings each week when I am reunited with my teammates.
       Once everyone is on the court, nobody notices whether you are disabled or not. It’s simply just a group of people of all ages having fun together joining as one unit playing basketball. Playing as a team is exciting and watching the gym full of athletes joining together is inspiring (鼓舞人心的).
       Now that I have experienced such a rewarding program, I can only hope it expands to other colleges, high schools, and community centers as well. Everyone has the right to grow up having equal opportunities to play competitive sports. If you have yet to experience Unified Sports, I highly suggest becoming involved in any way you can!

Seal seizes (占领) raft

       This seal really rocked the boat when he found himself an unusual place to hang out. After the seal came across a boat in the harbor where he lives, he fell inside and wouldn’t budge for four days.
       “One morning the seal just pulled himself aboard,” says Ed Stubbings, who owns the boat-turned-bed. Probably thinking the boat was a rock, the seal made himself at home. The seal didn’t move an inch — not even to eat or drink.
       Stubbings was a little worried that the 500-pound animal might sink it. Luckily on the fifth day, the seal fell back into the water and swam off.
Alligator (短吻鳄) gets new tail

       When Mr. Stubbs the alligator swims through his pool at the Phoenix Herpetological Society, he looks like any other gator — except that his tail is made of rubber. Mr. Stubbs is the first alligator known to wear an artificial (人造的) tail.
       Mr. Stubbs was brought to the society nine years ago. “His tail was missing when he arrived,” says President Russ Johnson. Mr. Stubbs couldn’t walk or swim properly. “We showed him how to swim in the water,” Johnson says. “But that hurt his back.” Later, the scientists used rubber to build an artificial tail attached to Mr. Stubbs’s back legs. “Once we put the tail on him, he walked with ease,” Johnson says.
Dog delivers papers

       Morgan started her “paper route” when she was young. One day as Morgan and her owner Bill set out on a walk, she spotted a rolled-up paper. To Bill’s surprise, Morgan grabbed the object in her mouth, walked back to the house, and dropped it on the doorstep. Morgan enjoyed the activity so much that she wanted to deliver every paper she saw on her walks.
       Now three-year-old Morgan brings the paper to her owner and neighbors, even in bad weather. “Morgan has a natural instinct (本能) to carry things with her mouth,” dog behaviorist Pat Miller says. “And she feels rewarded by the activity, so she keeps it up.”
25. The underlined word “budge” can be replaced by “_____”.
A. sleep                       B. move
C. change                   D. swim
26. It can be learned that Mr. Stubbs _____.

B. lost his tail and back legs
C. was found by Ed Stubbings
D. quickly adapted to his new tail
27. What made Morgan deliver papers?
A. Her natural ability.
B. Her owner Bill’s praise.
C. Her neighbors’ rewards.
D. Pat Miller’s encouragement.
C

       Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to PIBOT. Developed in South Korea, this little machine is about the size of a child’s toy, and has a head that kind of looks like a toaster (烤箱). It’s also able to fly a plane.
       The researchers responsible for the robot’s development have actually managed to program it with all the knowledge and skills necessary to operate a standard airplane. Through a built-in webcam (网络摄像机), PIBOT is able to gather information about its surroundings — such as location, airspeed, and weather conditions.
       With all of this information, it’s able to make decisions in much the same way as a human pilot would. It’s already completed one successful test flight — sort of. In the video presented at IROS 2014 in Chicago, PIBOT was seen guiding the airplane through a short test flight in a flight simulator (模拟器) — a process which included both takeoff and landing.
       It’s super cool.
       Now, it’s worth mentioning that — even as impressive as PIBOT is — we aren’t going to be seeing it in any real airplanes at any point in the near future. Although the little robot is certainly able to operate a plane, it doesn’t quite have the skills necessary to address some of the real world situations met by pilots — such as bad weather or mix-ups on the runway. It doesn’t meet the government’s rules, either.
       The inventors aren’t terribly discouraged, however. They expect that it’s only a matter of time before they manage to get PIBOT up to the necessary standards. When the day comes, we might see airlines put to work a whole new type of pilot; one who never tires, never gets hungry, and never makes mistakes.
       So ... if you’ve a career in aviation (航空), it might soon be time to start planning for retirement.
28. We know from the text that PIBOT _____.
A. is very large      
B. can serve as a toaster
C. was developed in Chicago
D. is designed to operate a plane
29. In the presented video, PIBOT _____.
A. competed with a human pilot
B. completed several test flights
C. made decisions totally like humans
D. successfully guided a plane to take off and land
30. Why won’t PIBOT be put into use?
A. It can’t predict weather conditions.
B. It can’t deal with real world situations.
C. It doesn’t have the skills to operate a plane.
D. It can’t gather information about its surroundings.
31. It can be learned from the text that _____.
A. PIBOT won’t make any mistake in a flight
B. the researchers will have to abandon the plan
C. PIBOT will surely replace human pilots one day
D. the inventors are confident about the future of PIBOT
D
       According to research, half the world’s population will be speaking or learning English by 2015.
       The report’s author, David Graddol, found that many governments are now introducing the teaching of English, even at kindergarten level, because of its economic importance. English predominates (占主导地位) in the world of business, with many countries wishing to compete for financially important contracts. However, countries such as Malaysia and Sri Lanka are protecting their native languages, which are closely connected with their national independence and identity.
       According to the report, the rapid growth in English learning around the world is the result of increased numbers of primary school children and middle-aged people being taught the subject for the first time. But the report predicts that the boom (激增) will be over by 2050, when English-language students will be down from 2 billion to 500 million. The English-language teaching business will become the victim of its own success, and will therefore gradually decrease (减少) over time.
       As more of the world’s youngest children learn English as their second language, fewer of them will need to be taught it later in their school careers, as they will already have reached high levels of proficiency  (熟练). They will even be expected to start learning other school subjects such as maths and science through the medium of English. Many universities are also choosing to teach in English, with students expected to listen to, read and write very high-level subjects in English instead of their own languages.
       Mr. Graddol points out that Britain hasn’t got a very good reputation for learning other languages, so it may be at a disadvantage in the future. Valuable business may move away from Britain to countries where more people are bilingual (双语的)   or multi-lingual, skills which are highly prized. The report also shows that English isn’t the only language spreading across the world. Far from being dominated by English, the world will become more multi-lingual. Chinese, Arabic and Spanish are all popular, and likely to be languages of the future. This is something students worldwide will need to think about when planning their careers.
32. Why are some countries protecting their native languages against the influence of English?
A. To strengthen their national identity.
B. To spread their languages.
C. To expand their economy.
D. To prevent culture shock.
33. Paragraph 3 suggests that by 2050 _____.
A. English speakers will face great pressure
B. the number of English learners will grow rapidly
C. the English-language teaching business will disappear
D. there may be less demand for English-language teaching
34.  Young people who learn English at primary schools are expected to _____.
A. achieve a high level of their own language
B. spend more time studying maths and science
C. learn other subjects, read and write in English
D. teach others English later in their school careers
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. English will be replaced by Chinese or Spanish.
B. Britain will absolutely lose lots of its businesses.
C. There’ll be a demand for multi-lingual speakers.
D. Students would like to study in bilingual countries.

Faces of stone

       Easter Island is just a dot (点) in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Chile.  36  And it is volcanic, which is probably why it has no trees. Each of the island’s three corners has an extinct volcano.
       Easter Island was relatively unknown until 1722, when Dutch Admiral Roggeveen arrived with the first Europeans ever to set foot on the island. To their great surprise, they were greeted by hundreds of extremely large stone statues lining the shores.  37  All were “figures of men with short square bodies and strangely oversized heads, many balancing red stone hats on their heads.” They were very similar to one another.  38  Each face was taller than a human being, and many were as tall as a four-story building.
       For an early society to have made these huge figures with only stone tools was an amazing achievement in itself.  39  The discovery of a large stone quarry (采石场) unlocked the secrets. It was obvious that this was the site where the statues had been carved (雕刻) before being moved to their final resting places. Some statues appeared to be complete, while others had barely been started. When work on these statues suddenly stopped, some were in the process of being moved. It was obvious that the statue builders had cut down the island’s trees to make rolling logs (滚木) and wooden scaffolds (支架).  40  
A. The history of Easter Island is rich.
B. It is a relatively small island with a total area of only 63 square miles.
C. For centuries, scientists have tried to measure the weight of the statues.
D. Each had a large nose and long ears, but they were not exactly the same.
E. To the Europeans, the unusually large legless creatures appeared strange indeed.
F. Then they used these tools to carry the huge statues from the quarry to the island’s coast.
G. What was even more mysterious was how the people moved the creations, some of which weighed many tons.
