Module 5 Newspapers and Magazines 单元测试题1
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
At the age of 95, Olga Kotelko attracted great attention at the World Masters Athletics Championships. This 5ft-tall Canadian became the oldest recorded woman indoor runner, high jumper and long jumper at the competition.
Olga now has more than 30 world records to her name and has won more than 750 gold medals. But she sees herself as nothing special, describing herself as just a plain Jane. As one of 11 children brought up on a farm, she has always been active, milking cows and doing other housework.
She has now outlived all her brothers and sisters and most of her friends but when asked what her secret is, she says there isn’t one. “I think your age is just a number. It’s not your birthday; it’s how you age that makes the difference. It’s your attitude to all the things that happen in your life that plays the biggest part.”
So can we all turn ourselves into nonagenarian (九十多岁的) superheroes? Research from Newcastle University suggests that as every 24 hours pass, we add an extra five hours to our lives — that’s over 2 months each year — partly because of improving living conditions and medical development. And in the UK the number of people who are living into their 100th year has nearly increased by four times since the 1980s. So ageing is not a terrible thing.
While Olga’s genes (基因) might help her, we’re not all prisoners to our own. After all, 75% of our later lives could be down to the lifestyle we choose to lead. A good diet and regular exercise are key. Besides, developing friendships in mid-life also works. Dr Holland, director of Aston University’s research centre for healthy ageing, says: “The more friends you have when you’re 50-60 years old, the less likely you’re to be lonely in later life; the less lonely you are, the less likely you’re to be ill as the years go by.”
21. Olga Kotelko was well-known at the World Masters Athletics Championships because _____.
A. she was the oldest sportswoman there B. she competed in several events
C. she set a new world record D. she won a gold there
22. What did Olga Kotelko mean by describing herself as a plain Jane?
A. She was hard-working. B. She was once named Jane.
C. She was very active. D. She was very common.
23. Olga Kotelko’s words suggest that _____.
A. we shouldn’t count our age up like numbers
B. we shouldn’t celebrate our birthday as we get old
C. we should try to have a positive attitude towards life
D. we should learn to change according to what happens
24. We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.
A. how long we live doesn’t completely depend on genes
B. Olga Kotelko succeeded because of her good genes
C. it’s hard for the middle-aged to make friends
D. it’s unavoidable for people to get old
B
George Watford works at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in New York City. He gets some unusual phone calls. One day, he got a call about a mountain lion living in a small building. “We didn’t believe it,” Watford said. “But when we went out there, sure enough, there was a mountain lion sitting at the front window looking out at us.” The big cat’s owner knew that his neighbors were unhappy about the animal. He didn’t try to stop us taking it away.
In one year, the ASPCA took in 9,459 different animals, not counting cats and dogs. That number includes a lot of rabbits and monkeys, but the ASPCA has also taken many other exotic (外来的) pets from people’s homes. These animals can’t be set free into the wild because they wouldn’t survive. The ASPCA tries to find homes for them in zoos or special areas for animals.
It’s against the law to sell wild animals in New York City. Many buildings don’t even allow dogs and cats, not to mention more exotic animals. Still, the ASPCA takes away most of the exotic animals not because of complaints (怨言), but because the pet’s owner needs help. A lovely baby lion or bear will finally grow up to be dangerous. “When they bite (咬人), it isn’t because they hate you. It’s because they’re wild animals,” said exotic animal expert Kathi Travers.
Travers is quick to give speeches against raising wild animals as pets. Too often people think that caring for a wild animal is the same as caring for a dog or a cat. “To love an animal is not enough,” Travers said. “There has to be respect, and respect is not taking an animal, sticking it in a little cage, and expecting the animal to be happy.”
25. The call was made _____.
A. to report a missing lion B. to report a neighbor for keeping a lion
C. when the owner was away D. when the lion broke out of the window
26. When it finds an exotic animal in the city, the ASPCA _____.
A. keeps it until it grows up B. sets it free into the wild
C. helps find it a home D. sells it to a zoo
27. The last paragraph is written to show that _____.
A. it takes effort to care for a wild animal
B. keeping wild animals as pets is unwise
C. wild animals are happy in big spaces
D. wild animals can be dangerous
C

Anyone who’s held a rolled-up (卷起来的)newspaper to fight with a housefly knows just how difficult it can be to catch the fly. Flies always seem to know where you’re coming from — and how to get away.
“Flies are very good at what they do,” says Michael Dickinson, a professor of biology at the University of Washington. To study the insects (昆虫) in action, Dickinson used a machine to run flies to a tube, where a plate was ready to catch the flies from different directions — front, side, and back — while a high-speed camera filmed the insects’ reactions to the unpleasant hit.
After running hundreds of flies through his machine, Dickinson discovered something interesting. Within 300 milliseconds of a possible hit, the flies were well prepared. If the hit was right in front of its head, the fly would shift (挪动) its middle pair of legs forward — moving it backward and away from danger. When the hit came from the back, the fly would shift its middle legs backward to jump forward. Flies may eat dog droppings, but these insects are also beautiful dancers.
Dickinson’s interest in housefly hitting goes beyond keeping his office fly-free. His research is helping others build smart micro-robots that can copy the flies’ flight patterns (模式). The military, too, is interested in Dickinson’s work. It hopes to use findings like his to build planes with better reaction times, which could keep soldiers out of harm’s way.
As for Dickinson, it should be noted that he doesn’t hate flies. In fact, he goes out of his way to avoid killing them: “I get a little angry when someone brushes a fly away, since I’m usually looking at it, watching it clean itself and move its little head.”
31. What did Michael Dickinson find about flies?
A. They react very quickly. B. They have powerful legs.
C. They are good at dancing. D. They have a sense of direction.
32. Michael Dickinson came to his conclusions _____.
A. by example B. by experiment
C. by comparison D. by explanation
33. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that _____.
A. flies may be used in other fields in the future
B. flies provide inspiration for humans
C. flies remain a danger to planes
D. flies help robots improve
34. What does Michael Dickinson think of flies?
A. Dirty. B. Beautiful.
C. Unpleasant. D. Interesting.
35. What’s the best title for the text?
A. A strange insect B. A day in the life of a fly
C. To catch a fly D. To avoid a fly

How to make a friend
Smile!
It’s the easiest way to let someone know that you’re nice! 36 You may notice at first that it feels strange to smile a lot, but over time, you’ll find that one smile can really make a difference in your life.
Be fun!
37 Think about the people you most enjoy being with — usually they are always on the up and up. Being fun makes people happy and brightens the way they think of you. It makes you seem like you truly love life and you can deal with any problems that you have to face.
Listen!
Good conversations are important when you want to make a new friend, and sometimes you just have to be quiet and listen. When you do get chatting, pay attention to what they’re saying. 38 Phew! It’s hard work making new friends, but it’s worth it!
39
Ask people who take classes with you questions about what they study today. 40 Other great conversation starters are upcoming events and holidays, sports, food, music, etc. If they’re listening to their iPods, ask what their favourite music is. It’s the best way to get a conversation started because it needs an answer and they have to answer you!
A. Change!
B. Ask a question!
C. Classwork is a great icebreaker.
D. Say “hello” and see what happens.
E. And don’t just talk about yourself all the time.
F. Even the shyest person can manage a little smile.
G. We all prefer spending time with people who make us feel happy.

Gifts can 56 send special messages. For example, gifts can tell people that we are thinking of them and that we want them to feel 57 . Sometimes a gift makes us remember the giver. The gift keeps the 58 of a special person and a special relationship alive.
There is no doubt about the good side of gift giving. That is why some people don’t 59 the idea that modern gift giving is very wasteful. It is 60 that there is an emotional benefit (情感好处) for people who exchange gifts. That is surely enough of a reason for the tradition to continue.

Module 5 Newspapers and Magazines 单元测试题1
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
At the age of 95, Olga Kotelko attracted great attention at the World Masters Athletics Championships. This 5ft-tall Canadian became the oldest recorded woman indoor runner, high jumper and long jumper at the competition.
Olga now has more than 30 world records to her name and has won more than 750 gold medals. But she sees herself as nothing special, describing herself as just a plain Jane. As one of 11 children brought up on a farm, she has always been active, milking cows and doing other housework.
She has now outlived all her brothers and sisters and most of her friends but when asked what her secret is, she says there isn’t one. “I think your age is just a number. It’s not your birthday; it’s how you age that makes the difference. It’s your attitude to all the things that happen in your life that plays the biggest part.”
So can we all turn ourselves into nonagenarian (九十多岁的) superheroes? Research from Newcastle University suggests that as every 24 hours pass, we add an extra five hours to our lives — that’s over 2 months each year — partly because of improving living conditions and medical development. And in the UK the number of people who are living into their 100th year has nearly increased by four times since the 1980s. So ageing is not a terrible thing.
While Olga’s genes (基因) might help her, we’re not all prisoners to our own. After all, 75% of our later lives could be down to the lifestyle we choose to lead. A good diet and regular exercise are key. Besides, developing friendships in mid-life also works. Dr Holland, director of Aston University’s research centre for healthy ageing, says: “The more friends you have when you’re 50-60 years old, the less likely you’re to be lonely in later life; the less lonely you are, the less likely you’re to be ill as the years go by.”
21. Olga Kotelko was well-known at the World Masters Athletics Championships because _____.
A. she was the oldest sportswoman there B. she competed in several events
C. she set a new world record D. she won a gold there
22. What did Olga Kotelko mean by describing herself as a plain Jane?
A. She was hard-working. B. She was once named Jane.
C. She was very active. D. She was very common.
23. Olga Kotelko’s words suggest that _____.
A. we shouldn’t count our age up like numbers
B. we shouldn’t celebrate our birthday as we get old
C. we should try to have a positive attitude towards life
D. we should learn to change according to what happens
24. We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.

George Watford works at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in New York City. He gets some unusual phone calls. One day, he got a call about a mountain lion living in a small building. “We didn’t believe it,” Watford said. “But when we went out there, sure enough, there was a mountain lion sitting at the front window looking out at us.” The big cat’s owner knew that his neighbors were unhappy about the animal. He didn’t try to stop us taking it away.
In one year, the ASPCA took in 9,459 different animals, not counting cats and dogs. That number includes a lot of rabbits and monkeys, but the ASPCA has also taken many other exotic (外来的) pets from people’s homes. These animals can’t be set free into the wild because they wouldn’t survive. The ASPCA tries to find homes for them in zoos or special areas for animals.
It’s against the law to sell wild animals in New York City. Many buildings don’t even allow dogs and cats, not to mention more exotic animals. Still, the ASPCA takes away most of the exotic animals not because of complaints (怨言), but because the pet’s owner needs help. A lovely baby lion or bear will finally grow up to be dangerous. “When they bite (咬人), it isn’t because they hate you. It’s because they’re wild animals,” said exotic animal expert Kathi Travers.
Travers is quick to give speeches against raising wild animals as pets. Too often people think that caring for a wild animal is the same as caring for a dog or a cat. “To love an animal is not enough,” Travers said. “There has to be respect, and respect is not taking an animal, sticking it in a little cage, and expecting the animal to be happy.”
25. The call was made _____.
A. to report a missing lion B. to report a neighbor for keeping a lion
C. when the owner was away D. when the lion broke out of the window
26. When it finds an exotic animal in the city, the ASPCA _____.
A. keeps it until it grows up B. sets it free into the wild
C. helps find it a home D. sells it to a zoo
27. The last paragraph is written to show that _____.
A. it takes effort to care for a wild animal
B. keeping wild animals as pets is unwise
C. wild animals are happy in big spaces
D. wild animals can be dangerous

Anyone who’s held a rolled-up (卷起来的)newspaper to fight with a housefly knows just how difficult it can be to catch the fly. Flies always seem to know where you’re coming from — and how to get away.
“Flies are very good at what they do,” says Michael Dickinson, a professor of biology at the University of Washington. To study the insects (昆虫) in action, Dickinson used a machine to run flies to a tube, where a plate was ready to catch the flies from different directions — front, side, and back — while a high-speed camera filmed the insects’ reactions to the unpleasant hit.
After running hundreds of flies through his machine, Dickinson discovered something interesting. Within 300 milliseconds of a possible hit, the flies were well prepared. If the hit was right in front of its head, the fly would shift (挪动) its middle pair of legs forward — moving it backward and away from danger. When the hit came from the back, the fly would shift its middle legs backward to jump forward. Flies may eat dog droppings, but these insects are also beautiful dancers.
Dickinson’s interest in housefly hitting goes beyond keeping his office fly-free. His research is helping others build smart micro-robots that can copy the flies’ flight patterns (模式). The military, too, is interested in Dickinson’s work. It hopes to use findings like his to build planes with better reaction times, which could keep soldiers out of harm’s way.
As for Dickinson, it should be noted that he doesn’t hate flies. In fact, he goes out of his way to avoid killing them: “I get a little angry when someone brushes a fly away, since I’m usually looking at it, watching it clean itself and move its little head.”
31. What did Michael Dickinson find about flies?
A. They react very quickly. B. They have powerful legs.
C. They are good at dancing. D. They have a sense of direction.
32. Michael Dickinson came to his conclusions _____.
A. by example B. by experiment
C. by comparison D. by explanation
33. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that _____.
A. flies may be used in other fields in the future
B. flies provide inspiration for humans
C. flies remain a danger to planes
D. flies help robots improve
34. What does Michael Dickinson think of flies?
A. Dirty. B. Beautiful.
C. Unpleasant. D. Interesting.
35. What’s the best title for the text?
A. A strange insect B. A day in the life of a fly
C. To catch a fly D. To avoid a fly

How to make a friend
Smile!
It’s the easiest way to let someone know that you’re nice! 36 You may notice at first that it feels strange to smile a lot, but over time, you’ll find that one smile can really make a difference in your life.
Be fun!
37 Think about the people you most enjoy being with — usually they are always on the up and up. Being fun makes people happy and brightens the way they think of you. It makes you seem like you truly love life and you can deal with any problems that you have to face.
Listen!
Good conversations are important when you want to make a new friend, and sometimes you just have to be quiet and listen. When you do get chatting, pay attention to what they’re saying. 38 Phew! It’s hard work making new friends, but it’s worth it!
39
Ask people who take classes with you questions about what they study today. 40 Other great conversation starters are upcoming events and holidays, sports, food, music, etc. If they’re listening to their iPods, ask what their favourite music is. It’s the best way to get a conversation started because it needs an answer and they have to answer you!
A. Change!
B. Ask a question!
C. Classwork is a great icebreaker.
D. Say “hello” and see what happens.
E. And don’t just talk about yourself all the time.

There is no doubt about the good side of gift giving. That is why some people don’t 59 the idea that modern gift giving is very wasteful. It is 60 that there is an emotional benefit (情感好处) for people who exchange gifts. That is surely enough of a reason for the tradition to continue.
