　　外研版高二英語選修六Module 4期末綜合訓(xùn)練試題及答案

　　第一部分 聽力

　　略

　　第二部分　閱讀理解(共兩節(jié)，滿分40分)

　　第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題2分，滿分30分)

　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

　　A

　　When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(優(yōu)先). This view is short-sighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.

　　Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our characters and values. It give us identity as a society.

　　Music provides a kind of perception(感知) that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive(情感的) meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.

　　The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries and our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.

　　Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be humans. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love. So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.

　　21.According to Paragraph 1, students ________.

　　A. regard music as a way of entertainment

　　B. disagree with their parents on education

　　C. view music as an overlooked subject

　　D. prefer the arts to science

　　答案與解析：A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第三句“Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment...”可知。

　　22.In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to ________.

　　A. compare it with rock music

　　B. show music identifies a society

　　23.Which can explain how the sun rises and sets?

　　A. Music. B. Science.

　　C. The arts. D. Technology.

　　答案與解析：B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二句Science can explain how the sun rises and sets.可知答案為B。

　　24.What is the main idea of the passage?

　　A. Music education deserves more attention.

　　B. Music should be of top education priority.

　　C. Music is an effective communication tool.

　　D. Music education makes students more imaginative.

　　答案與解析：A　主旨大意題。文章闡述了音樂的內(nèi)涵、音樂的功能和音樂的重要性，所以音樂課是需要我們特別重視的。

　　You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It's the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search reveals plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age is there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart's music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.

　　The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, we'll become more intelligent.

　　The_idea_took_off,_with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart's music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them produce better milk.

　　I'll leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn't make us more intelligent.

　　25.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

　　A. Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.

　　B. Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.

　　C. There are few products on the Internet about Mozart's music.

　　D. There is little scientific evidence to support the Mozart effect.

　　答案與解析：D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第一段的句子...but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed可知沒有什么科學(xué)證據(jù)來支持莫扎特效應(yīng)的影響。

　　26.Why did many people believe in the idea of the Mozart effect?

　　A. Because a study described it in the journal Nature.

　　B. Because Mozart himself was a genius.

　　C. Because Mozart's music is enjoyable.

　　D. Because Mozart's music makes people relaxed.

　　答案與解析：B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章第二段的句子Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, we'll become more intelligent.可知很多人相信莫扎特效應(yīng)，因?yàn)槟刈约壕褪莻€天才。

　　27.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggests that ________.

　　A. people were strongly against the idea

　　B. the idea was accepted by many people

　　C. Mozart played an important part in people's life

　　D. the US government helped promote the idea

　　答案與解析：B　句意理解題。從第三段句子The idea took off, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children，很多父母給孩子聽莫扎特的音樂，可知這句話表明這種想法被許多人接受，故選B項(xiàng)。

　　28.What is the author's attitude towards the Mozart effect?

　　A. Favorable. B. Objective.

　　C. Doubtful. D. Positive.

　　答案與解析：C　推理判斷題。從文章第四段的句子More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn't make us more intelligent.可知作者對莫扎特效應(yīng)的影響持懷疑態(tài)度，故選C項(xiàng)。

　　C

　　We all know that Apple iPad is designed mainly for business people. But besides business people there are many other people who are interested in getting one. Students are very interested in the latest technology. So you cannot keep Apple iPad away from students. The question is: Should they buy an Apple iPad?

　　Apple iPad has many features that would work for students, which means that students do not have to carry books for references. They can use e-Books because Apple iPad has a big screen that makes reading a pleasure. You can even write on iPad. So it works as an all in one tool that is so light that it can be put in any backpack. The battery life of Apple iPad is for around 10 hours, which is clearly a good point for students. The touch screen is big and iPad does not create any noise while it is working. In a word, Apple iPad does have some features that would do good to students.

　　However, students might have to slow down their work because Apple iPad struggles when it comes to doing many tasks at the same time. It would create a problem if the student has to take down notes quickly while the iPad does not allow him/her to work well. Another thing that students might not be happy with is that there is no keyboard. Though iPad has an on-screen keyboard, it might not be as useful as a real keyboard. Apple iPad has no USB port(端口) or SD card slot(插卡槽), which means students will not be able to share information quickly among themselves.

　　Therefore, I don't think it's necessary for students to buy an iPad. It may not work as well as they expect. They can buy a netbook for their study. It would work better for them.

　　33.What is the author mainly talking about?

　　A. Who should buy an Apple iPad.

　　B. What an Apple iPad can do for students.

　　C. Whether Apple iPad can attract students.

　　D. Whether students should buy an Apple iPad.

　　答案與解析：D　主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段的The question is: Should they buy an Apple iPad?以及末段的Therefore, I don't think it's necessary for students to buy an iPad.以及作者針對學(xué)生所列舉的Apple iPad的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)，可知作者主要在談?wù)搶W(xué)生是否應(yīng)該購買蘋果iPad。

　　34.According to the author, Apple iPad is mainly designed for ________.

　　A. people who are in the business world

　　B. people who like reading books online

　　C. students who hate taking books for references

　　D. people who are interested in the latest technology

　　答案與解析：A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第一句話We all know that Apple iPad is designed mainly for business people.可知，蘋果iPad的目標(biāo)客戶主要是商務(wù)人士。

　　35.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that Apple iPad ________.

　　A. is easy to carry

　　B. can't be used for a long time

　　C. makes a noise when it's working

　　D. doesn't allow people to write on it

　　答案與解析：A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的that is so light that it can be put in any backpack可知，iPad攜帶方便。
