Module4 Music
Ⅰ.阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Many students find it hard to make friends when they are in high school. Keeping my suggestions in mind may give you a hand. They certainly helped me,and by the end of my three years of high school I had formed my group of friends,with whom I still keep in touch now.Here are my tips:
Say hello anytime I see an acquaintance
Because I was always smiling and greeting the people I knew,people naturally thought I was friendly(though I am not naturally sociable). And high school students want to be friends with sociable people.
Take the first step
All the girls there already knew each other—they didn't need another friend. But I did,so I had to make the effort. I had to be the first one to invite somebody to go to a movie with me,or come to my house. Once I did that they started to respond with the same thing.
Use classes to get to know people
I met most of my first friends because I sat next to them in class. Class (before,after,or even during class time)is a great opportunity to begin a conversation. For example,ask for help about homework.
Make friends slowly
I couldn’t get discouraged when it took a while to make friends.It really takes some time to make new friends.In a
word,making new friends is hard.
Above all,remember that it can and will get better.You
may have to work a little to make your high school experience a great one,but it’s really worth it!
1.The purpose of writing this passage is to________.
A.give students suggestions on how to make friends in high school
B.keep in touch with some classmates in high school
C.greet the people who are friendly and kind in high school
D.invite some classmates to go to a movie with the author
解析:选A。目的意图题。根据文章第一段及最后一段即可归纳,文章就是为高中生提供一些交友建议。
2.Why was the author believed to be sociable?
A.Because the author was always helping others.
B.Because the author was going to ask for help about homework.
C.Because the author was always smiling and greeting acquaintances.
D.Because the author wanted to be friends with high school students.
解析:选C。事实细节题。根据Say hello anytime I see an acquaintance一节的首句“Because I was always smiling and greeting the people I knew,people naturally thought I was friendly...”即可分析推知。
3.When we say “Everybody should make friends patiently in high school.”,it should belong to one of the following tips________.
A.Say hello anytime I see an acquaintance
B.Take the first step
C.Use classes to get to know people
D.Make friends slowly
解析:选D。推理判断题。所给出的句子与Make friends slowly中的含义及关键信息“It really takes some time to make new friends.”相符。
4.What does the underlined word“they”(Paragraph 1)probably refer to?
A.My tips.
B.Many students.
C.All the girls.
D.Most of my first friends.
解析:选B。词义猜测题。由文章首句的句式结构和语境即可分析,从句的主语they即为主句的主语many students。
B
Would the voice of Amanda Holden saying “your city had talent” encourage you to use a litter bin?Or maybe former Monty Python star Michael Palin telling you no one had expected “the Spanish bin-quisition”?
Organizers of a plan persuading celebrities (名人)to lend their voices to “talking bins” believe it can make a real difference to keeping Britain tidy.They hope that by using humor,they will succeed where fines and warnings have failed in keeping streets and parks clean.
A similar experiment in Sweden found a talking bin received nearly three times as much rubbish as an ordinary one because people were attracted by its novelty value.
Twenty-five specially adapted bins to be installed (安装) in the streets of London and Liverpool next month will use a sound card to play a themed message when litter is placed inside.For example,one near the Royal Opera House will play a “thank-you” message sung by Janis Kelly to the tune of Nessun Dorma. Bins installed in Liverpool will play Beatles-themed messages.For others,Britain's Got Talent judge Holden is expected to record the message: “This is Amanda,and this city's got talent.”
The campaign, entitled Bin Thinking, is being organized by art group Sing London.If successful,talking bins could become a familiar feature on Britain's streets.
Colette Hiller,director of Sing London,said,“The idea is to reward people in a small way for changing their behavior and raise awareness through a sense of fun.”
5.What is the plan persuading celebrities to lend their voices to “talking bins” aimed at?
A.Attracting passers-by's attention on celebrities.
B.Encouraging people to use the litter bins to keep Britain tidy.
C.Making fun of those who won't keep the streets and parks clean.
D.Thanking people for cleaning the litter bins through a sense of fun.
解析:选B。细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知,说服名人把他们的声音借给“会说话的垃圾箱”是为了鼓励人们使用垃圾箱以确保英国的整洁。故选B。
6.The following stars' voices are to be lent to “talking bins” except________.
A.Amanda Holden'sB.Michael Palin's
C.Janis Kelly's
D.Colette Hiller's
解析:选D。细节理解题。文章第一段及第四段中提及Michael Palin、Janis Kelly和Amanda Holden借出了他们的声音,故选D。
7.We can infer from the text that________.
A.children are most attracted by “talking bins”
B.different messages will be played due to different streets
C.Britain is the first city where the experiment on “talking bins” was made
D.“talking bins”might take the place of ordinary litter bins in Britain
解析:选D。推理判断题。根据第二段及倒数第二段内容可知,会说话的垃圾箱比普通的垃圾箱收效更好,因此在英国,会说话的垃圾箱有可能会替代普通的垃圾箱。
8.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Lending your voice to “talking bins”
B.Sing London art organization
C.An entitled Bin Thinking campaign
D.A new experiment on litter bins
解析:选A。标题概括题。本文主要介绍会说话的垃圾箱以鼓励人们使用它们,使城市有一个干净的环境,而为了达到更好的效果,这种会说话的垃圾箱使用的是名人的声音,故A项为最佳标题。
