2024屆高考英語一輪復(fù)習(xí)單元演練：選修7 Modules 5-6（第2課時）（外研版含答案）
第一部分 選修七 Modules 5-6
1．(2024·蚌埠三中高三質(zhì)檢改編)The number of students in our class ________ more than 50 and the majority of them ________ from the countryside.
答案：is; are 考查主謂一致。句意：我們班有50多個學(xué)生，并且大部分都來自農(nóng)村。the number of...“……的數(shù)量”，用作主語時，其謂語動詞應(yīng)用單數(shù)is；the majority of...“……的大多數(shù)”，用作主語時，其謂語動詞取決于of后面的名詞，此時them＝students，是可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)，其后動詞顯然應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)，故應(yīng)用are。
2．(2024·濟(jì)南一中高三質(zhì)檢改編)According to experts, China needs to ________ its one child family planning policy to fight against a worsening gender (性別) imbalance and an aging population.
答案：adjust 考查動詞詞義。句意：專家認(rèn)為，中國有必要調(diào)整只生一個孩子的計劃生育政策，以應(yīng)對性別比例失調(diào)和老齡化加劇問題。adjust“調(diào)整”，符合題意。
3．________(accuse) of stealing money from the bank, he was questioned by the police.
答案：Accused 考查過去分詞作原因狀語。he與accuse之間為邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系，因此用過去分詞形式。
4．The town has ________ population of about 10,000 and 80% of ________ population are farmers.
答案：a; the 考查冠詞。句意：這個鎮(zhèn)大約有一萬人口，其中百分之八十是農(nóng)民。have a population of...“有……人口”；第二個空特指“這些人口”中的80%。
5．(2024·河南省濮陽三高高三上學(xué)期期末改編)—Tom, how was your party last night?
—It couldn't have been ________. I had a wonderful get-together with my old friends.
答案：better 考查形容詞的比較等級。句意：——“湯姆，你昨晚的聚會怎么樣？”——“非常好。我和我的老朋友有一個很棒的聚會。”從a wonderful get-together判斷出聚會很棒，前面出現(xiàn)了couldn't，根據(jù)“否定詞＋比較級”相當(dāng)于最高級的規(guī)律，It couldn't have been better意為“它不可能更好了”，相當(dāng)于是“它是最好的，非常好”。
6．(2024·天津大港一中高三月考改編)The return of snow and freezing weather in the south blocked about 14,000 km of roads, ________(delay) more than 12,000 passengers on Sunday alone.
答案：delaying 句意；南方的大雪及冰冷天氣的再次出現(xiàn)使大約14 000千米的公路受阻，僅僅星期天一天就有12 000多名乘客因此而耽擱了行程。前面整個句子所描述的內(nèi)容是delay的邏輯主語，二者之間是主動關(guān)系，只能用現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語，delay這個動作又是后發(fā)生的，所以用v-ing一般式。
7．(2024·唐山高三一模改編)The survivors of the crashed plane had no food or water and were ________the mercy of the extremely cold weather.
答案：at 考查介詞短語。句意：這架墜毀飛機的幸存者沒有食物和水，面對極其寒冷的天氣束手無策。at the mercy of “受/聽任……擺布”，符合句意。
8．(2024·寶雞高三質(zhì)檢改編)I strongly recommend that the information ________(refer) to in my report be e-mailed to Professor Keller without delay.
答案：referred 句意；我強烈建議我報告中所提到的信息應(yīng)立刻發(fā)給凱勒教授。空處表示“剛才我報告中提到的信息”，用過去分詞作定語。
9. ________ well prepared you are, you still need a lot of luck in finding a suitable job.
答案：However 考查讓步狀語從句。句意：無論你準(zhǔn)備得多么充分，要想找一個合適的工作仍然需要很大的運氣。空格內(nèi)可用no matter how或however，表示“無論多么”。
10．—How about the result?
—Well, it remains ________(see) whether we've got enough support.
答案：to be seen 考查非謂語動詞。答句句意：我們是否能得到足夠的支持，這一點有待于觀察。表示將來的被動動作應(yīng)用動詞不定式的被動式。

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However，Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers' markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States，Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don't Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences，evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity—or extreme overweight—among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%—and is growing.

Have you ever wondered why each of us has different handwriting? Handwriting, also known as brain writing, is as individual to the person as fingerprints. Occupations, relationships, personal problems as well as health-related issues can be identified in a person's writing. Analyzing handwriting goes back to the 1600s and originated in Europe. Is handwriting analysis scientific?
OK, you ask, so what traits can be found while analyzing handwriting? Many traits can be shown provided the writing is in cursive (草書的), because printing has some limitations. Cursive provides the analyst with the upstrokes (向上的一筆) in writing which are very important. Many personality traits including being outgoing, temper, anger towards the opposite sex, generosity and hundreds more can be found when analyzing handwriting.
Handwriting is very interesting because not only can you change your personality and watch your writing change as well, but also the reverse is true! Sometimes there are personality traits that we wish we did not have, but we don't know how to get rid of them. One way to change your personality is to use handwriting therapy. The person learns how to change their writing to rid themselves of unwanted traits, and practices this under the watchful eye of a trained graphologist (筆跡學(xué)家).
Handwriting analysis is becoming a recognized part of therapy. Analyzing handwriting has many different aspects. For instance, it is used in the court of law when dealing with fake documents. Companies are beginning to hire handwriting analysts to assist them in finding the right person for the right job. This is because handwriting analysis is a science—it is not guesswork. It is used as a tool to determine the compatibility (適應(yīng)性) of an individual to the requirements of a iob as well as the compatibility of one individual to another.
All in all, handwriting analysis is scientific and has endless possibilities. Next time you see someone's signature or handwriting, you now know that this person's personality is right out there in front of you, just waiting to be discovered!

A．Because analyzing handwriting goes back to the 1600s.

答案：C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容可推知，人們之所以想進(jìn)行筆跡分析是因為筆跡分析可發(fā)現(xiàn)一個人的很多個性品質(zhì)。
