第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分）
A
The best advice young men and women can hear these days is not “Get Rich” but “Go West”.
Those who hope to make their fortunes or, at the very least, find good jobs or lifelong careers（事业）have a better chance of doing so in China’s western provinces than in the increasingly crowded eastern cities. Along the eastern coast, cities are filled with newcomers looking for work. They seek anything from the lowest-level unskilled jobs to the instant-million aired Internet chance of lifetime. Few have found the latter, and fewer will.
About 160 years ago, young men and women streamed into New York, Philadelphia, Boston, the United States is the same as that of China’s Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing. All of these young people were searching for work, for riches, for fame. Few found any of that. The rest joined the masses working hard at low-level jobs trying to support themselves and their families.
Horace Greeley, a well-known American newspaper editor of the period had given advice for those seeking work. “Do not,” Greeley said,” stay in the cities! There is room and health in the country. Go West.”
In the mid-19th century, when Greeley issued his call to go west, America was on the brink of developing its western region—much as China is today. Out west, the unemployed could find jobs.
What was needed then in the American West is what is needed now in China’s western expanses: men and women with determination to make something of themselves, men and women with skills. And developing nation must have to survive and prosper. It has nothing to do with the Internet. It has nothing to do with becoming a movie star, pop music idol, or a Bill Gates Clone.
It has everything to do with reality. Why struggle for a seat at a university that turns out information technicians who soon will be competing among themselves for even lower salaries
What China’s west will need in increasing numbers for the next 50 to 100 years will be civil engineers, transportation engineers, environmental engineers, architects, chemists, doctors and nurses and pharmacists, waster-water treatment specialists and sanitation（卫生设施）engineers, agriculture technicians and scientists.
For those who have the talent to work with their heads and their hands, the west will need electricians and plumbers, builders and wood workers; men who can locate and drill for oil and natural gas; those who can turn desert into farmland; men and women who can breed and raise domestic animals and veterinaries to treat those animals.
The list is endless.
One thing more should be added to Horace Greeley’s advice to the youth of this time: Go West, but go well-trained.
What are you waiting for
56.In the following, which is most needed during China’s west wide open at present
A. Movie stars.
B. Teachers.
C. Well-rained young people.
D. Doctors.
57.Judging by geography knowledge, which group belongs to the western provinces during China’s west wide open
A. Guangdong and Sichuan.
B. Guizhou and Qinghai.
C. Hunan and Shanxi.
D. Yunnan and Jiangxi.
58.From the passage, we know that____.
A. the western expanses are badly in need of development
B. those who are good at computers are not popular
C. the people in the western provinces are leading a hard life
D. the people can be supplied with few jobs in the west of China
59.After reading the passage, we can infer that____.
A. the western provinces are rich in natural resources
B. people in the west can’t keep up with the development of modern society
C. anyone who would like to go to the west can find the job he or she likes best
D. the west will become prosperous rapidly for reasons of policy
B
Deep inside a mountain near Sweat water in East Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the “Guinness Book of World Records” as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historical cave system called Craighead Caverns.
The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian Nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “the Council Room”, many Indian artifacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons and jewelry.
For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905.In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.
Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres（英亩）of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.
60.According to the passage, the Lost Sea is unique because it is___________.
A. part of a historical cave system
B. the biggest underground lake in the world
C. listed in the “Guinness Book of World Records”
D. the largest body of water in Tennessee
61.According to the passage, how can the caverns be entered？___________
A. From an opening in a mountainside.
B. By riding far out onto the lake.
C. By diving into the water.
D. From “The Council Room”.
62.What was found in “the Council Room”？ ___________
A. A small natural opening.
B. A large cave.
C. Another series of rooms.
D. Many old Indian objects.
63.It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as___________.
A. an underground testing site
B. an Indian meeting ground
C. a tourist attraction
D. a motorboat race course
C
The young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are talking nothing but nonsense, as in their hearts they must surely know.
No, the village is not dead. There is more life in it now than there ever was. But it seems that “village life” is dead. Gone for ever. It began to decline about a hundred years ago. When many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing numbers in search of work, and home was where work was. There are still a number of people alive today who can remember what “village life” meant in the early years of the present century. It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It meant going to bed early to save lamp-oil and coal.
Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers. The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make “village life” and “town life” almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about “village life”. It is just life, and a better life.
Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid-morning；or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. Obviously these children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked on the village street.
64.By saying that village is not dead, but “village life” is dead, the writer suggests that_________.
A. those young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are wrong
B. the two statements are against each other
C. “village life” today is rather uninteresting
D. “village life” today is no longer like what it used to be
65. It was _________ that “village life” began to take a sharp turn.
A. about a century ago
B. during the two world wars
C. with electricity and motorcars introduced into the village
D. only recently
66.As is suggested in Paragraph 2,villagers in the past_________.
A. lived a simpler life than villagers today
B. knew fewer people than villagers today
C. found it difficult to enjoy themselves
D. liked to wash themselves with cold water
67. From the last paragraph, we can know that_________.
A. the children are better fed, better clothed
B. they are worse educated
C. they are not happy
D. they are not healthier than any generation of children that ever before walked on the village street.
D
The oldest stone building in the world are the pyramids. They have stood for nearly 5 000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the “Step” pyramid and the “Bent” pyramid.
Some of the pyramids still look as much alike as they must have been when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to keep the pyramids in good condition, and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.
The “Step” pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile, the side on which the sun set. This was for spiritual reasons. It also had to stand well above the level of the river to protect it against the regular floods. It could not be too far from the Nile, however, as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was, of course, much easier than land transport. The builders also had to find a rock base, which was not likely to crack under the great weight of the pyramid. Finally, it had to be near the capital, or better still, near the king’s palace so that he could visit it easily to personally check the progress being made on the final resting place for his body.
68.According to the passage, the “Step” pyramid______________.
A. is unlikely to fall into ruin in the near future
B. was built on the sands along the Nile
C. is one that was built later than the true pyramids
D. is the most famous of the true pyramids
69.The most important reason why some pyramids remain in good condition is that_________.
A. people have taken care of them
B. it doesn’t rain often in Egypt
C. they were well designed
D. the government has protected them from damage
70.Most of the damage to the pyramids has been caused by_________.
A. the regular floods
B. the dry climate of Egypt
C. young people searching for gold
D. people in search of building materials
71.The Egyptians built the pyramids along the banks of the Nile because .
A. they believed in their god
B. it was difficult to find a large rock base far from the Nile
C. the river helped a lot in the transport of building materials
D. it was not easy to choose a suitable place for the pyramids

America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65.The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways—education, medicine and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very society—one in which people have a different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.
A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother-or my father-was at my age.” No one says “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
72.It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America_________.
A. has made people feel younger
B. has changed people’s social position
C. has changed people’s understanding of age
D. has slowed the country’s social development
73.The underlined word “one” refers to_________.
A. a society B. America C. a place D. population
74.“Act your age” means people should_________.
A. be active when they are old
B. do the right thing at the right age
C. show respect for their parents young or old
D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age
75. If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it_________.
A. normal B. wonderful C. unbelievable D. unreasonable

第四部分 写作（共2节,满分45分）
第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分,满分15分）
An American friend of mine who was high up in a big corporation had worked out a way of handling a flood of e-mails before most of us had even heard of the concept. If any information he was sent was vital enough, his lack of response would ensure the sender rang him up, if the sender wasn’t important enough to have his private number, the communication couldn’t be that important, my friend is now even more senior in the same company so the strategy must work.
Almost every week now there seems to be a report suggesting that we are all being driven crazy by the bother of e-mail. If this is the case, it’s only because we haven’t developed an appropriate discrimination in dealing with it.
_________. Firstly, you junk nothing with an exclamation mark or a string of capital letters, or from any address you don’t recognize or feel confident about.
Secondly, e-mails don’t all have to be answered. Because e-mailing is so easy, there’s a tendency for correspondence to carry on for ever, but it is permissible to stop an endless discussion or to accept a point of information sent by a colleague without acknowledging it.
Thirdly, a reply e-mail doesn’t have to be the same length as the original. We all have e-mail pals who send long, chatty e-mail, which are nice to receive, but who then expect an equally long reply. The charm of e-mail can consist in the simple, incomplete sentence, totally regardless of the format of the letter sent by post. You are perfectly within the bounds of politeness in responding to a marathon e-mail with a better reply.
76. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one
The possible existence of annoyance results from our inability to sort out e-mails
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Module 6 Old and New
单元测试卷答案
21.A construction 建造，建筑物； structure 构造，建筑物； destruction 破坏，毁灭； instruction 讲授，教育。只有A项符合题意。
22.B dream of意为“梦想”，为固定短语。
23.C come true 实现。B项语态错误。
24.D beyond的意思是“（范围，限度）超出”。例如：beyond compare 无可比拟的； beyond control 无法控制的；beyond description 无法描绘的。 本题句意为“在这样一个大公司找工作一直是他不敢想的”。
25.A exhausted“极度疲劳的，筋疲力尽的”，符合题意。本题句意为“手术曾使病人非常疲惫并需要很长的恢复时间，可现在病人感到轻松和舒适”。
26.C generate意为“使发生，使产生（电气、热等能量）”，符合题意。其他选项为词类错误，而且句意不通。
27.D submerged when they built the dam作town的定语。城镇已被洪水淹没，而不是正在发生，故B项错误。
28.B harness “控制、利用（能源）”； harvest“收获、收割（农作物等）”。介词in后应接动名词作宾语，故B项为正确答案。
29.A It is suggested that...结构中，主语从句应用虚拟语气，即用动词原形或“should + 动词原形”。句中的send for和a doctor之间为被动关系，因此应用被动形式。
30.C equal to为固定搭配，意为“等于，胜任”。
31.B absolutely impossible “绝对不可能”，符合题意。另外三个词不可与impossible搭配使用。
32.C live a ... life “过着……的生活”，冠词a 不可省略。
33.D 本题题意是“很幸运，我们带着一张地图；如果没有此图的话，我们就已经迷路了”。根据题意可知，map 后是一个由“介词 + which”引出的定语从句，故答案为D。从句中使用了虚拟语气。
34.A 根据句意可知，discovery后是定语从句，且先行词discovery在从句中充当主语，故用which引导。I think为插入语。
35.B 本题也是考查定语从句，引导词在从句中作主语，故选用which。this和what不是定语从句的引导词。
36.A the other day意为“几天前”，可以用作状语。
37.C 四个选项中只有have可以同时后接a drink和a talk这样两个宾语。
38.B it 为形式主语，that从句为真主语从句，全句意为“餐馆里几乎每个人都在抽烟,此事突然引起了我的注意”。A、C不能接人，应予排除，show表示人为地展示给他人看，在此不合语境。
39.C it is not long before …是一个句型，表示没过多久就……，由此可以看出烟雾之大。
40.B 根据意义和搭配不难选定。
41.D ask for permission意为“请求允许”,其他三个选项不合逻辑。
42.D 这里有点夸张的味道，从句末的感叹号上也能体会出作者当时的心情。
43.A 这里的双重否定表示“一上街就自然地……”。B、C、D三项明显不合逻辑。
44.A 从词语搭配角度考虑。
45.C 只有真正地“改善了公共交通系统，才能使市民弃用私车”。
46.D 目的就是要鼓励人们把车“停放”在家中。
47.A 由于高空中的烟雾，作者朋友在上飞行课时自然会感到身体，尤其是眼睛不舒服，由作者朋友的心理活动I’m breathing that也可作出这种推断。
48.B 在高处向下看物体应用look down at sth。
49.C 空中的烟雾应该视作一种“污染”。
50.B 此处为递进关系，表示“能且应该”，故用and。
51.D 道路应用“建设(construction)”。building表示房屋的“建筑”，应排除。
52.A 另三个选项不能概全。
53.A 这里表达的是作者的一种愿望。
54.C 作者意思是指要通过建公园来保护环境。根据意义不难排除另三个选项。
55.B 保持自然状态以用states为好。
56.C 细节判断题。从第六段开始一直到文章结尾。
57.B 常识题。根据常识运用排除法可找到答案。
58.A 综合判断题。文章从头到尾都鼓励人们参加西部开发，这也是本文的意图。D选项中few jobs与文中内容相悖，B、C选项内容文中未提及。
59.A 推理判断题。倒数第四段中“men who can locate and drill for oil and natural gas”一句暗示西部资源丰富。B项内容文中未提及，C项中like best与第四段中”Out west，the unemployed could find jobs”不相符，而D项是事实，并非作者的写作意图。
60.B 这是一道细节理解题。见第一段第二句，它作为世界上最大的地下湖而被载入《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》。这本书举世闻名，其结论具有权威性。因此B项为正确答案。
61.A 这是一道细节理解题。1905年Ben Sands进入这个地下湖，就是从这个小缝处下去的。今天人们下到洞穴中也只能这样走。下到洞穴后才能见到water和lake，因此B、C两项不对。
62.D 这是一道细节理解题。Indian objects即文中提到的arrowheads，weapons，jewelry之类的artifacts（人工制品）。
63.C 这是一道推断题。根据第四段第一句可知今天旅游者到这个洞里参观，并已建起较为完善的配套的旅游设施（glass-bottomed boats）。
64.D 这是一道推断题。本文第二段对过去和现在的农村生活进行对比，由此得出现在的农村生活已经不再像过去的农村生活那样了。所以本题正确答案应该是D，而不是A（那些谈论农村已经不存在的年轻人是错误的）、B（农村和农村生活相反）、C（今天的农村生活很乏味）。
65.C 这是一道细节理解题。本题问的是从什么时候起，农村生活有了一个转折点。从文章第三段第四句话“电和机动车辆在拉近农村生活和城市生活的距离方面起着决定性的作用”，可知选项C正确。
66.A 这是一道推断题。第二段最后四句话讲述的是：过去的村子里的每一个人都相互了解；不必走很远就可以娱乐；家庭主妇们每天都呆在家里；为了节省煤和灯油，人们很早就睡了。由此可知，选项A是正确答案。
67.A 根据文章最后一段可知。
68.A 这是一道细节理解题。从第一段“it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet”中可知，“Step”金字塔还会矗立相当长的时间。
69.C 这是一道细节理解题。从第二段最后一句中“perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.”可以很清楚地获得答案。
70.D 这是一道细节理解题。第二段中“Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings.”告诉我们，大部分的损害是由那些在此寻找建筑材料的人造成的。
71.C 这是一道细节理解题。从最后一段中“It could not be too far from the Nile, however, as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was, of course, much easier than land transport.”可以得出此答案。
72.C 这是一道推断题。这篇文章谈论的是美国人口的老龄化给社会带来的影响，它改变了以往人们对年龄的传统的理解。
73.A 这是一道词义所指题。通过上下文可以很容易地看出来。
74.B 这是一道词义理解题。文章告诉我们，美国人对年龄的理解不再那么界限分明，不再强调“在一定的年龄做一定的事情”。
75.A 这是一道推断题。从文章不难看出，作者认为这种事情是正常的，而不是像传统的看法那样少见多怪、不可思议，这与文章的主题也是相一致的。
76.If this is the case, it’s only because we haven’t developed an appropriate discrimination in dealing with it.
77.E-mails can be handled in the following ways. / Here are the ways to deal with e-mails. / Handling e-mails is an art.
78.You may reply to a long e-mail briefly./ You don’t have to write a long reply e-mail.
79.To show a way of handling e-mails with an example. / To introduce the topic of the text.
80.用简短的话回复冗长的邮件完全不失礼节。/ 用简短的话回复马拉松式的电子邮件也是礼貌的。
One possible version:
Ladies and gentlemen,

Our net-school is very helpful in many ways. First of all, it can make teaching and learning easier with great interest. Students can get more information and knowledge in class. We can sent e-mails to all parts of the world at any time. And get the latest information through Internet, which is open to both teachers and students. So long as the students have a computer, he can study at home. The net also helps to improve our school management and meets the needs of building up our school into a modern one.
That’s all. Thank you.

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分）
A
The best advice young men and women can hear these days is not “Get Rich” but “Go West”.
Those who hope to make their fortunes or, at the very least, find good jobs or lifelong careers（事业）have a better chance of doing so in China’s western provinces than in the increasingly crowded eastern cities. Along the eastern coast, cities are filled with newcomers looking for work. They seek anything from the lowest-level unskilled jobs to the instant-million aired Internet chance of lifetime. Few have found the latter, and fewer will.
About 160 years ago, young men and women streamed into New York, Philadelphia, Boston, the United States is the same as that of China’s Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing. All of these young people were searching for work, for riches, for fame. Few found any of that. The rest joined the masses working hard at low-level jobs trying to support themselves and their families.
Horace Greeley, a well-known American newspaper editor of the period had given advice for those seeking work. “Do not,” Greeley said,” stay in the cities! There is room and health in the country. Go West.”
In the mid-19th century, when Greeley issued his call to go west, America was on the brink of developing its western region—much as China is today. Out west, the unemployed could find jobs.
What was needed then in the American West is what is needed now in China’s western expanses: men and women with determination to make something of themselves, men and women with skills. And developing nation must have to survive and prosper. It has nothing to do with the Internet. It has nothing to do with becoming a movie star, pop music idol, or a Bill Gates Clone.
It has everything to do with reality. Why struggle for a seat at a university that turns out information technicians who soon will be competing among themselves for even lower salaries
What China’s west will need in increasing numbers for the next 50 to 100 years will be civil engineers, transportation engineers, environmental engineers, architects, chemists, doctors and nurses and pharmacists, waster-water treatment specialists and sanitation（卫生设施）engineers, agriculture technicians and scientists.
For those who have the talent to work with their heads and their hands, the west will need electricians and plumbers, builders and wood workers; men who can locate and drill for oil and natural gas; those who can turn desert into farmland; men and women who can breed and raise domestic animals and veterinaries to treat those animals.
The list is endless.
One thing more should be added to Horace Greeley’s advice to the youth of this time: Go West, but go well-trained.
What are you waiting for
56.In the following, which is most needed during China’s west wide open at present
A. Movie stars.
B. Teachers.
C. Well-rained young people.
D. Doctors.
57.Judging by geography knowledge, which group belongs to the western provinces during China’s west wide open
A. Guangdong and Sichuan.
B. Guizhou and Qinghai.
C. Hunan and Shanxi.
D. Yunnan and Jiangxi.
58.From the passage, we know that____.
A. the western expanses are badly in need of development
B. those who are good at computers are not popular
C. the people in the western provinces are leading a hard life
D. the people can be supplied with few jobs in the west of China
59.After reading the passage, we can infer that____.
A. the western provinces are rich in natural resources
B. people in the west can’t keep up with the development of modern society
C. anyone who would like to go to the west can find the job he or she likes best
D. the west will become prosperous rapidly for reasons of policy

Deep inside a mountain near Sweat water in East Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the “Guinness Book of World Records” as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historical cave system called Craighead Caverns.
The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian Nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “the Council Room”, many Indian artifacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons and jewelry.
For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905.In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.
Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres（英亩）of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.
60.According to the passage, the Lost Sea is unique because it is___________.
A. part of a historical cave system
B. the biggest underground lake in the world
C. listed in the “Guinness Book of World Records”
D. the largest body of water in Tennessee
61.According to the passage, how can the caverns be entered？___________
A. From an opening in a mountainside.
B. By riding far out onto the lake.
C. By diving into the water.
D. From “The Council Room”.
62.What was found in “the Council Room”？ ___________
A. A small natural opening.
B. A large cave.
C. Another series of rooms.
D. Many old Indian objects.
63.It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as___________.
A. an underground testing site
B. an Indian meeting ground
C. a tourist attraction
D. a motorboat race course
C
The young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are talking nothing but nonsense, as in their hearts they must surely know.
No, the village is not dead. There is more life in it now than there ever was. But it seems that “village life” is dead. Gone for ever. It began to decline about a hundred years ago. When many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing numbers in search of work, and home was where work was. There are still a number of people alive today who can remember what “village life” meant in the early years of the present century. It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It meant going to bed early to save lamp-oil and coal.
Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers. The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make “village life” and “town life” almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about “village life”. It is just life, and a better life.
Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid-morning；or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. Obviously these children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked on the village street.
64.By saying that village is not dead, but “village life” is dead, the writer suggests that_________.
A. those young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are wrong
B. the two statements are against each other
C. “village life” today is rather uninteresting
D. “village life” today is no longer like what it used to be
65. It was _________ that “village life” began to take a sharp turn.
A. about a century ago
B. during the two world wars
C. with electricity and motorcars introduced into the village
D. only recently
66.As is suggested in Paragraph 2,villagers in the past_________.
A. lived a simpler life than villagers today
B. knew fewer people than villagers today
C. found it difficult to enjoy themselves
D. liked to wash themselves with cold water
67. From the last paragraph, we can know that_________.
A. the children are better fed, better clothed
B. they are worse educated
C. they are not happy
D. they are not healthier than any generation of children that ever before walked on the village street.
D
The oldest stone building in the world are the pyramids. They have stood for nearly 5 000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the “Step” pyramid and the “Bent” pyramid.
Some of the pyramids still look as much alike as they must have been when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to keep the pyramids in good condition, and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.
The “Step” pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile, the side on which the sun set. This was for spiritual reasons. It also had to stand well above the level of the river to protect it against the regular floods. It could not be too far from the Nile, however, as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was, of course, much easier than land transport. The builders also had to find a rock base, which was not likely to crack under the great weight of the pyramid. Finally, it had to be near the capital, or better still, near the king’s palace so that he could visit it easily to personally check the progress being made on the final resting place for his body.
68.According to the passage, the “Step” pyramid______________.
A. is unlikely to fall into ruin in the near future
B. was built on the sands along the Nile
C. is one that was built later than the true pyramids
D. is the most famous of the true pyramids
69.The most important reason why some pyramids remain in good condition is that_________.
A. people have taken care of them
B. it doesn’t rain often in Egypt
C. they were well designed
D. the government has protected them from damage
70.Most of the damage to the pyramids has been caused by_________.
A. the regular floods
B. the dry climate of Egypt
C. young people searching for gold
D. people in search of building materials
71.The Egyptians built the pyramids along the banks of the Nile because .
A. they believed in their god
B. it was difficult to find a large rock base far from the Nile
C. the river helped a lot in the transport of building materials
D. it was not easy to choose a suitable place for the pyramids

America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65.The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways—education, medicine and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very society—one in which people have a different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.
A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother-or my father-was at my age.” No one says “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
72.It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America_________.
A. has made people feel younger
B. has changed people’s social position
C. has changed people’s understanding of age
D. has slowed the country’s social development
73.The underlined word “one” refers to_________.
A. a society B. America C. a place D. population
74.“Act your age” means people should_________.
A. be active when they are old
B. do the right thing at the right age
C. show respect for their parents young or old
D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age
75. If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it_________.
A. normal B. wonderful C. unbelievable D. unreasonable

An American friend of mine who was high up in a big corporation had worked out a way of handling a flood of e-mails before most of us had even heard of the concept. If any information he was sent was vital enough, his lack of response would ensure the sender rang him up, if the sender wasn’t important enough to have his private number, the communication couldn’t be that important, my friend is now even more senior in the same company so the strategy must work.
Almost every week now there seems to be a report suggesting that we are all being driven crazy by the bother of e-mail. If this is the case, it’s only because we haven’t developed an appropriate discrimination in dealing with it.
_________. Firstly, you junk nothing with an exclamation mark or a string of capital letters, or from any address you don’t recognize or feel confident about.
Secondly, e-mails don’t all have to be answered. Because e-mailing is so easy, there’s a tendency for correspondence to carry on for ever, but it is permissible to stop an endless discussion or to accept a point of information sent by a colleague without acknowledging it.
Thirdly, a reply e-mail doesn’t have to be the same length as the original. We all have e-mail pals who send long, chatty e-mail, which are nice to receive, but who then expect an equally long reply. The charm of e-mail can consist in the simple, incomplete sentence, totally regardless of the format of the letter sent by post. You are perfectly within the bounds of politeness in responding to a marathon e-mail with a better reply.
76. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one
The possible existence of annoyance results from our inability to sort out e-mails

Module 6 Old and New
单元测试卷答案
21.A construction 建造，建筑物； structure 构造，建筑物； destruction 破坏，毁灭； instruction 讲授，教育。只有A项符合题意。
22.B dream of意为“梦想”，为固定短语。
23.C come true 实现。B项语态错误。
24.D beyond的意思是“（范围，限度）超出”。例如：beyond compare 无可比拟的； beyond control 无法控制的；beyond description 无法描绘的。 本题句意为“在这样一个大公司找工作一直是他不敢想的”。
25.A exhausted“极度疲劳的，筋疲力尽的”，符合题意。本题句意为“手术曾使病人非常疲惫并需要很长的恢复时间，可现在病人感到轻松和舒适”。
26.C generate意为“使发生，使产生（电气、热等能量）”，符合题意。其他选项为词类错误，而且句意不通。
27.D submerged when they built the dam作town的定语。城镇已被洪水淹没，而不是正在发生，故B项错误。
28.B harness “控制、利用（能源）”； harvest“收获、收割（农作物等）”。介词in后应接动名词作宾语，故B项为正确答案。
29.A It is suggested that...结构中，主语从句应用虚拟语气，即用动词原形或“should + 动词原形”。句中的send for和a doctor之间为被动关系，因此应用被动形式。
30.C equal to为固定搭配，意为“等于，胜任”。
31.B absolutely impossible “绝对不可能”，符合题意。另外三个词不可与impossible搭配使用。
32.C live a ... life “过着……的生活”，冠词a 不可省略。
33.D 本题题意是“很幸运，我们带着一张地图；如果没有此图的话，我们就已经迷路了”。根据题意可知，map 后是一个由“介词 + which”引出的定语从句，故答案为D。从句中使用了虚拟语气。
34.A 根据句意可知，discovery后是定语从句，且先行词discovery在从句中充当主语，故用which引导。I think为插入语。
35.B 本题也是考查定语从句，引导词在从句中作主语，故选用which。this和what不是定语从句的引导词。
36.A the other day意为“几天前”，可以用作状语。
37.C 四个选项中只有have可以同时后接a drink和a talk这样两个宾语。
38.B it 为形式主语，that从句为真主语从句，全句意为“餐馆里几乎每个人都在抽烟,此事突然引起了我的注意”。A、C不能接人，应予排除，show表示人为地展示给他人看，在此不合语境。
39.C it is not long before …是一个句型，表示没过多久就……，由此可以看出烟雾之大。
40.B 根据意义和搭配不难选定。
41.D ask for permission意为“请求允许”,其他三个选项不合逻辑。
42.D 这里有点夸张的味道，从句末的感叹号上也能体会出作者当时的心情。
43.A 这里的双重否定表示“一上街就自然地……”。B、C、D三项明显不合逻辑。
44.A 从词语搭配角度考虑。
45.C 只有真正地“改善了公共交通系统，才能使市民弃用私车”。
46.D 目的就是要鼓励人们把车“停放”在家中。
47.A 由于高空中的烟雾，作者朋友在上飞行课时自然会感到身体，尤其是眼睛不舒服，由作者朋友的心理活动I’m breathing that也可作出这种推断。
48.B 在高处向下看物体应用look down at sth。
49.C 空中的烟雾应该视作一种“污染”。
50.B 此处为递进关系，表示“能且应该”，故用and。
51.D 道路应用“建设(construction)”。building表示房屋的“建筑”，应排除。
52.A 另三个选项不能概全。
53.A 这里表达的是作者的一种愿望。
54.C 作者意思是指要通过建公园来保护环境。根据意义不难排除另三个选项。
55.B 保持自然状态以用states为好。
56.C 细节判断题。从第六段开始一直到文章结尾。
57.B 常识题。根据常识运用排除法可找到答案。
58.A 综合判断题。文章从头到尾都鼓励人们参加西部开发，这也是本文的意图。D选项中few jobs与文中内容相悖，B、C选项内容文中未提及。
59.A 推理判断题。倒数第四段中“men who can locate and drill for oil and natural gas”一句暗示西部资源丰富。B项内容文中未提及，C项中like best与第四段中”Out west，the unemployed could find jobs”不相符，而D项是事实，并非作者的写作意图。
60.B 这是一道细节理解题。见第一段第二句，它作为世界上最大的地下湖而被载入《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》。这本书举世闻名，其结论具有权威性。因此B项为正确答案。
61.A 这是一道细节理解题。1905年Ben Sands进入这个地下湖，就是从这个小缝处下去的。今天人们下到洞穴中也只能这样走。下到洞穴后才能见到water和lake，因此B、C两项不对。
62.D 这是一道细节理解题。Indian objects即文中提到的arrowheads，weapons，jewelry之类的artifacts（人工制品）。
63.C 这是一道推断题。根据第四段第一句可知今天旅游者到这个洞里参观，并已建起较为完善的配套的旅游设施（glass-bottomed boats）。
64.D 这是一道推断题。本文第二段对过去和现在的农村生活进行对比，由此得出现在的农村生活已经不再像过去的农村生活那样了。所以本题正确答案应该是D，而不是A（那些谈论农村已经不存在的年轻人是错误的）、B（农村和农村生活相反）、C（今天的农村生活很乏味）。
65.C 这是一道细节理解题。本题问的是从什么时候起，农村生活有了一个转折点。从文章第三段第四句话“电和机动车辆在拉近农村生活和城市生活的距离方面起着决定性的作用”，可知选项C正确。
66.A 这是一道推断题。第二段最后四句话讲述的是：过去的村子里的每一个人都相互了解；不必走很远就可以娱乐；家庭主妇们每天都呆在家里；为了节省煤和灯油，人们很早就睡了。由此可知，选项A是正确答案。
67.A 根据文章最后一段可知。
68.A 这是一道细节理解题。从第一段“it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet”中可知，“Step”金字塔还会矗立相当长的时间。
69.C 这是一道细节理解题。从第二段最后一句中“perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.”可以很清楚地获得答案。
70.D 这是一道细节理解题。第二段中“Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings.”告诉我们，大部分的损害是由那些在此寻找建筑材料的人造成的。
71.C 这是一道细节理解题。从最后一段中“It could not be too far from the Nile, however, as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was, of course, much easier than land transport.”可以得出此答案。
72.C 这是一道推断题。这篇文章谈论的是美国人口的老龄化给社会带来的影响，它改变了以往人们对年龄的传统的理解。
73.A 这是一道词义所指题。通过上下文可以很容易地看出来。
74.B 这是一道词义理解题。文章告诉我们，美国人对年龄的理解不再那么界限分明，不再强调“在一定的年龄做一定的事情”。
75.A 这是一道推断题。从文章不难看出，作者认为这种事情是正常的，而不是像传统的看法那样少见多怪、不可思议，这与文章的主题也是相一致的。
76.If this is the case, it’s only because we haven’t developed an appropriate discrimination in dealing with it.
77.E-mails can be handled in the following ways. / Here are the ways to deal with e-mails. / Handling e-mails is an art.
78.You may reply to a long e-mail briefly./ You don’t have to write a long reply e-mail.
79.To show a way of handling e-mails with an example. / To introduce the topic of the text.
80.用简短的话回复冗长的邮件完全不失礼节。/ 用简短的话回复马拉松式的电子邮件也是礼貌的。

Our net-school is very helpful in many ways. First of all, it can make teaching and learning easier with great interest. Students can get more information and knowledge in class. We can sent e-mails to all parts of the world at any time. And get the latest information through Internet, which is open to both teachers and students. So long as the students have a computer, he can study at home. The net also helps to improve our school management and meets the needs of building up our school into a modern one.
That’s all. Thank you.
