1、Module 5 单元质量检测（五）(时间：100分钟满分：120分)选择题部分.阅读理解(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AThere are three reasons why I dont think that we are ready for cloning. Firstly, we dont know exactly what the consequences of cloning would be. For example, if scientists cloned a man, they might kno

2、w what he would look like, but they wouldnt know his quality. What would happen if scientists cloned another Hitler or others like him? Do you really think we would survive if this became a reality? Secondly, cloning raises many ethical questions. Look back at the cloned man that has been presented

3、and ask yourself these questions：“Do you really think that he would be a man？”“Who would be responsible for him？”“Do you think he should have the same rights as we have？” I dont think that we can answer these questions now. Lastly, we dont know exactly what the meaning of life is. In my opinion, cre

4、ating life is the duty of nature, and we must not interfere (干预) with that task because we cant understand the extremely complicated relationships among lives that are defined by nature. Usually these relationships are extremely complex. Sometimes, they seem to be so untouchable that they cannot be

5、changed. From my point of view, we have to look at the natural environment around us. We can see that an ecosystem (生态系统) is made up of a lot of different kinds of life, and each life has its own function within the system. If we disturb that, I think it could lead to our extinction (灭绝) Even though

6、 cloning may have a lot of benefits for humans, I think we should stop cloning because we do not understand it and cant control all of its effects. Maybe in the future, we will be ready to do it, but that time has not yet arrived.语篇解读：本文主要从三个方面讲述了我们为什么不要克隆。1According to the author, we are not ready

7、for cloning because _.Atwo or more people may have the same appearanceBscientists are not sure about the personalities of the cloned peopleCpeople may not function properly if there are more cloned human beingsDcloning has not been permitted by the government解析：选B细节理解题。从第一段“For example, if scientist

They impress the crowd with tricks they have been forced to learn things theyd never do in the wild.At marine parks, orca whales measuring up to 25 feet long and weighing thousands of pound

11、s splash (溅出水花) out of the water and do amazing tricks, drawing cheers from the audience.Sure, its fun to watch these wild animals up close but many people wonder if its really fair to the animals? After all, an orca whale in the wild has the entire ocean as a home. They live in family groups and ma

12、y travel 100 miles in a day. Is living alone swimming around in circles in a small pool a good life for an orca?In the wild, elephants also live in close family groups.

13、s performers.Today, more and more people are saying that things should change. They believe the animals deserve to live a more natural life and not be used for entertainment. And now some companies are beginning to listen.In March 2015, Ringling Bros, and Barnum and Bailey announced that they would

14、no longer use elephant acts in their circuses. And on May 1, 2016, the elephants performed their last show, signaling an end to a long history of elephants in circuses and traveling shows.A year after the Ringling announcement, SeaWorld Theme Parks promised to give the orcas in their parks a better

15、life as well. The company announced that it would begin to phase_out shows featuring orcas performing tricks. Instead, they will highlight (突出) more of the whales natural behaviors. SeaWorld also said they wouldnt add any more captive (被俘的) orcas to their parks.These are first steps toward putting a

16、n end to using captive wildlife for entertainment. And these changes were made after many people spoke out loud and clear to say that wild animals deserve to live wild and free.语篇解读：马戏团里的野生动物表演为观众带来了很多乐趣，然而这种强迫动物表演杂技的做法对动物公平吗？4Why does the author mention elephants and orca whales in the first two pa

32、like“Like” and “love” are different terms used to describe feelings. _11_ However, the defining line between liking and loving can be vague, and is drawn differently for everyone who crosses it.A person may say that she loves her best friend, her husband and her son. _12_ The same goes for the word

33、“like”. You can like your science class and like your lab partner, but you dont like them in the same way.Liking someonePeople typically use the word “like” as a weaker version of the word “love”， regardless of context (背景)_13_ People also use “like” to describe romantic emotions that are not fully

35、ent._14_From like to love_15_ Because everyone experiences these emotions differently, it is difficult to identify a certain moment that suggests the transition (转变) from liking to loving.

38、的不同。11解析：选E空处承接上一句引入本文的主题“爱与喜欢的不同”，并与下文构成转折关系，故E项“对年轻人来说，知道喜欢与爱的不同是共同的任务”符合语境。12解析：选A选项A中的“each case”指代上文中的“loves her best friend, her husband and her son”，再由下文中的“The same goes for the word like”和“but you dont like them in the same way”可以推断出，此处要表达的是：尽管每种情形中所用的动词是一样的，但其含义不同。故A项符合语境。13解析：选F选项F中的“the t

39、erm”指代上文中的“like”，并且上下文都重现了“use”一词，本段用相同的句式结构说明人们用“like”描述不同的情感，故F项符合语境。14解析：选G选项G中的“these three components”指代上文中的“passion, intimacy (亲密) and commitment”，其中的“Love”也与上文中的“Loving” “love”相呼应，故G项符合语境。15解析：选D选项D中的“The change from like to love”与本段的小标题“From like to love”及下文中的“the transition (转变) from liking

40、 to loving”相对应，说明从喜欢到爱的转变会使人困惑，为下文作铺垫，故D项符合语境。.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Success brings with it a sense of achievement and satisfaction for having done your work well.

45、s way, you will be able to stay modest. Remember to listen to others, to _34_ their help and to accept the fact that you may be wrong. Always keep in _35_ that: modesty helps one to go forward, whereas pride makes one lag behind.语篇解读：谦虚是不可缺少的品质，骄傲自满是一个可怕的陷阱，而这个陷阱通常是我们自己挖掘的。16A.comes Bleads Cadapts D

58、在时。又因主语为Tu Youyou，故用is。38to receive根据该句中的“the first native Chinese person”可以判断，该句应用动词不定式作person的后置定语。39it分析该句结构可知，动词不定式短语to fight for the health of all humans作真正的主语，it作形式主语。40that/which分析该句结构可知，该句为定语从句，先行词为medicine，空处在从句中作主语，故用which或that引导该定语从句。41medicines根据该句中的them可以判断，空处应用复数形式。42by/on/at/inby hand

59、意为“用手”； on/at/in hand意为“在手头”。根据语境可知这四个介词都对。43returned根据下句的“Her little daughter didnt recognize her”可知，这里陈述的是过去的事情，故用一般过去时。44tryingspend time doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“花费时间做某事”，故用trying。45fromsuffer from为固定搭配，意为“(因疾病、痛苦等)受折磨”。.写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节：应用文写作(满分15分)假定你是某中学高二学生李华，你支持利用克隆技术，请你根据这一观点写一篇英语短文向某英文报社投稿。内容包括

70、er because she thinks its “fun”Paragraph 2：It amazes me how we have changed from hunting to survive to hunting for sport. I just dont see any reason to kill a living thing for fun. This just leads to people hunting animals, even the small_little_goat is endangered because people start to think that theres nothing wrong with killing a life as long as its not a human. If theres one thing I ask of you, its to be openminded towards animals not just humans and dont kill for sport.
