选修八 Module 4～6综合技能测试

本卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。

第Ⅰ卷(选择题 共115分)

第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 略

第二部分：基础知识运用(共两节，满分45分)

第一节：单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)

从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 21．—Guess what! I have got an A for my term paper.

—Great! You ________ read widely and put a lot of work into it. A．must B．should C．must have D．should have

答案：C 由“have got an A”可知是对过去发生事情的推测。故选C项must have, 表示对过去发生事情的语气十分肯定的推测。

22．I think your sister is old enough to know ________ to spend all her money on beautiful dresses.

A．other than B．rather than C．better than D．more than

答案：C know better than that/to do sth.意为“明白事理而不至于??”。

23．A diet with no exercise is bad for the health, because it will ________ a loss of both fat and muscle tissue.

A．result from B．make up C．result in D．end up

答案：C result in意为“导致”； result from意为“由??引起”；make up意为“形成；构成；弥补”；end up意为“结束”，根据句意选C项。

24．As is known, ________ we know some basic knowledge concerning AIDS, we can protect ourselves from being infected.

A．as far as B．if only C．so long as D．unless

答案：C 考查状语从句的连接词。分析句子结构可知：我们了解一些有关艾滋病的基本知识是保护自己不受感染的条件。故选so long as，意思是“只要??”。

25．They have a good knowledge of English, but little ________ about German. A．have they known B．do they know C．they know D．they knew

答案：B little为否定副词，放在句首，句子要倒装。所以选B项。 26．Have you seen Mary lately? My boss wants to know ______. A．how she is getting along B．how is she getting along C．what she is getting along D．what is she getting along

答案：A 句意：你最近见到玛丽了吗？我的老板想知道她最近生活得怎么样。该题常错选B。含有宾语从句的复合句，宾语从句要用陈述语序。排除B、D两项。疑问词how有“如何”的意思，而what是询问“什么”，据题意应选how，所以答案为A项。

27．The Super Girls' Voice cannot ________ its name when it does not produce a girl who is the beauty of beauties and whose singing is a girl's voice.

A．fit in with B．catch up with C．live up to D．hold on to

答案：C live up to“与??相符、相等”；cannot live up to its name意思是“名不符实”，故C项符合题意。

28．You have been sitting on my hat and now it is badly out of ________. A．date B．shape C．order D．balance

答案：B 句意：你一直坐在我的帽子上，看看它现在严重走样了吧！根据have been sitting on my hat可知是帽子变形了，而不是out of date“过时”，out of order“没条理”或out of balance“失衡”。

29．________ on his reading, he didn't notice me when I went in. A．Having concentrated B．Concentrating

C．Being concentrated D．Concentrated

答案：B 考查非谓语动词。由于concentrate on his reading与谓语动词所表示的动作同时进行，且主句的主语与之存在逻辑上的主动关系，故应用现在分词形式。

30．(2010·九江市六校联考)The cell phone should be fully charged. Besides, you'd better carry a(n)________battery.

A．empty B．positive C．extra D．necessary

答案：C 句意：手机必须充满电。而且你最好再带一块备用电池。extra“额外的”，符合题意。

31．The young dancers looked so charming in their beautiful clothes that we took ________ pictures of them.

A．many of B．plenty C．a number of D．a large amount of

答案：C A项应去掉of；B项plenty后须接of；C项意思是“许多，很多”，修饰可数名词复数；D项只能修饰不可数名词，故选C。

32．The beauty of the place is more than I can describe. I am sure its charm will ________ whoever see it.

A．appeal to B．stick to C．keep to D．give in to 答案：A 后句句意：我确信它的美丽会打动任何一个看到它的人的心。此处只有appeal to符合题意，意思是“使喜欢；使感兴趣”。

33．________ the new life in Qingdao, the old man lived happily with his son. A．Accustomed to B．Accustoming C．Having accustomed to D．Having used to

答案：A 根据语境与题意可知A项正确，accustomed to the new life in Qingdao为过去分词短语，作原因状语，意思是“习惯了在青岛的新生活”。

34．—Where is Bob? I cannot find him anywhere.

—He ________ have been off long. I heard him make a call just now. A．shouldn't B．can't C．mustn't D．needn't 答案：B 考查情态动词的用语。由下文的“I heard him make a call just now.”可以推断，这里要表达的意思是：他离开的时间一定不长。所以选B项，意思是“不可能”。must只能用于肯定的猜测；shouldn't“不应该”；needn't“没必要”均不合题意。

35．He said he was there all the time, but I'll ________ that I never saw him. A．believe B．swear C．consider D．suggest

答案：B 后半句话表示“我敢保证我从没有见到他”。swear此处意为“发誓”，其他选项不合题意。

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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

Life in the Universe

Many scientists today are convinced that life exists elsewhere in the universe—— life probably much like that on our own planet. They reason in the following way.

As far as astronomers(天文学家) can determine, the entire universe is built of the same matter. They have no reason to doubt that matter obeys the same laws in every part of the universe. Therefore, it is reasonable to guess that other stars, with their own planets, were born in the same way as our own solar system. What we know of life on earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist.

Life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere. This eliminates all those planets in the universe that are not about the same size and weight as the earth. A smaller planet would lose its atmosphere; a larger one would hold too much of it.

Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. This eliminates double stars, or stars that flare up(闪耀) suddenly. Only single stars that are steady sources of heat and light like our sun would qualify.

Finally, life could evolve only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun. With a weaker sun than our own, the planet would have to be closer to it. With a stronger sun, it would have to be farther away.

If we suppose that every star in the universe has a family of planets, then how many planets might support life? First, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun. Next, eliminate most of
