Module 2
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Amanda took whatever pills she could get, largely because she was finding life hard to take. “There were a lot of problems,” she says. She had just found out that her parents were splitting (分开). It took her by surprise—and she was shocked. “I woke up one morning, and they told me. ”
On a few occasions during her two years of going to pharming parties(品药聚会). “My heart would race so fast that it felt like it was going to explode. I felt weak and confused sometimes and even passed_out several times,” she recalls. “But I picked up from the ground because I had a lot of pride in my drinking and drugging. I was really crazy about it and proud of the fact that I could take more than a lot of people. I could come home and have a conversation with my parents.”
Finally, though, things got out of control. “I couldn't go a day without taking something,” she recalls, “and after a while, the pills upset my stomach;it hurt all the time, and I hardly ate. Finally, I couldn't take it any more. I went to my parents and told them I needed help.”
Amanda entered a treatment program and has been calm since her release last January. “Detox(戒瘾)was the worst four days of my entire life,”she says.“I was throwing up all the food and had the shakes.”
She doesn't care about drugs. “I'm so hurt from this,” says Amanda,who has ulcers(溃疡)and damaged kidneys from the drugs and alcohol. “I have to struggle daily to stay calm. But in some ways,I feel lucky I went through it, and I'm out of it now.” Amanda wrote a song called “Goodnight to the Moonlight”. Amanda says,“It's about how it feels to be taking drugs and alcohol, how it hurts, how it makes you feel like you're losing yourself.”
1. What is the purpose of writing the passage?
A.To tell us that parents have a great influence on their children.
B.To warn us that drugs are a danger to our health and mind.
C.To tell us once you pick up bad habits,it is hard to get rid of.
D.To tell us that as long as you are determined,you will overcome any difficulty.
答案:D 主旨大意题。本文叙述了阿曼达受父母离婚的影响,对生活失去希望并开始吸毒,身体受到严重损害,曾一度达到失控的境地,但最终戒毒成功的故事。由此可推出作者的写作目的:告诉我们只要有坚强的意志,就能克服任何困难。
2.The underlined expression “passed out” ( Paragraph 2)probably means ________.
A.left out B.suddenly became senseless
C.suddenly kicked outD.wanted to give up
答案:B 词义猜测题。由下文“But I picked up from the ground because I had a lot of pride in my drinking and drugging.”可知pass out的意思为“昏厥,晕倒”,故答案为B项。
3. Which of the following is NOT the side effect of taking drugs on her health?
A.Her stomach felt upset and she couldn't eat anything.
B.She became addicted to drugs and couldn't live without them.
C.She felt confused and almost broke down.
D.She was able to help herself even though she was addicted.
答案:D 细节理解题。由第三段中“Finally, though, things got out of control.”和“Finally, I couldn't take it any more. I went to my parents and told them I needed help.”可知阿曼达吸毒已达到无法控制的程度,她需要父母的帮助。故D项表述错误。其他三项文中均有表述。
4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.
A.Amanda had such a strong will that she didn't lose herself
B.her song expressed her thanks and delight
C.Detox was not really a success to Amanda
D.drugs and alcohol ruined her health as well as her spirit
答案:A 推理判断题。最后一段说,阿曼达努力地保持冷静,关键时候没有丧失理智,她感到很幸运,尽管经历了吸毒和痛苦的戒毒,但最终成功了。由此可以推出她意志坚强,关键时候没有丧失自我。

Evaluating (评价) Sources of health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. __1__
Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. __2__
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result.__3__ Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. __4__ Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术).__5__ Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.
A.The goal of an ad is to sell you something.
B.Make choices that are right for you.
C.And examine the findings of the original research.
D.Be sure to work through the critical questions.
E.Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.
F.The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.
G.Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view.
语篇解读:本题型要把握关键信息词。把两部分关键信息词对比,然后确定答案。
1.F 根据第二段中的第一句Go to the original source. 第三段中的第一句Watch for misleading language.和第四段中的第一句Use your common sense.可知这些都是一些评估健康信息的建议。故F项符合上下文串联。
2.C 本段表示要找到最初的信息。要自己去找到原真正报道的内容,要确认是通过很严肃的方法得到的确定的信息。故C项符合上下文串联。
3.G 本段的主题是:注意误导性的语言。有些研究发现某些行为与某种结果有关。那么作为读者我们要知道有些信息也许是被错误的解释了,所以我们要仔细阅读以求充分理解。故G项符合语境。
4.A 根据前面一句“Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.”可知要我们特别注意广告里包含的信息,因为广告里的信息是为了向我们出售一些内容,所以广告的信息很可能是不准确的。所以要当心江湖骗术。故A项符合语境。
5.B 根据下面两句可知朋友和家人可能是激励信息的主要力量,但是每个人都要找到一个起作用的健康的生活方式,也就是说要为自己选择合适的信息。故B正确。
Ⅲ.完形填空

Ⅳ.语法填空
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
(2015·东北三校二次联考)
Camels certainly like eating green grass, not dry grass. But __1__(strange), camels always keep looking for dry grass __2__ their stomachs are filled up.
A classmate of __3__(I) whose home is on the edge of Turpan Basin in Xinjiang told me his home has two camels;he said you could imagine a camel's appetite, for it can slowly swallow dozens of kilograms of hay (干草). I asked him __4__ camels eat hay, not green grass. He said the camel is a kind of animal with __5__ strong sense of suffering, __6__(fear) its master letting it travel through the desert the next day, and the hay in its stomach is more hungerresistant __7__ green grass.
The camel has the best tolerance. Unfortunately, many people can only see a camel's outstanding performance, but few understand its __8__(prepare) made for it.
Life, __9__ a camel traveling through the desert, __10__(need) the adequate accumulation, but not everyone can understand it.
1.______ 2.______ 3.______ 4.______ 5.______
6.______ 7.______ 8.______ 9.______ 10.______
语篇解读:与干草相比,骆驼更喜欢吃青草,然而骆驼却总挑干草吃,这是为什么呢?
1.strangely 考查副词。句意:但是,奇怪的是骆驼总是找干草……。设空处在句首修饰后面整个句子,作评注性状语,故此处需用副词。
2.until/till/before 考查时间状语从句。这里表示骆驼一直找干草吃的时间。根据上下文逻辑,可知设空处应填:until/till/before。
3.mine 考查代词。“名词+of+名词性物主代词”为固定用法。a classmate of mine=one of my classmates。
4.why 考查宾语从句。根据下文作者同学的回答,可知此空应填why。
5.a 考查冠词。sense在本句中为可数名词且表示泛指,故用不定冠词。
6.fearing 考查非谓语动词作状语。主语the camel与fear为逻辑上的主动关系且表示伴随,故用现在分词形式。
7.than 考查形容词比较级。根据语境中的more hungerresistant可知设空处为than。
8.preparations 考查名词。句意:不幸的是,许多人只看到了骆驼非凡的表现,但很少有人明白骆驼为此所做的准备。its后需用名词,preparation为可数名词,故本空需用其复数形式。
9.like 考查介词。like“像……一样”,符合语境。
10.needs 考查主谓一致。主语life为第三人称单数,故need后需加“s”。
