Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
The singer, Mick Jagger, of the Rolling Stones sings a song that tells people they can't always get what they want but if they try sometimes they can get what they need.The past years in my life my parents have told me this saying many times.I've always complained about the quote(引语)，although over time I have told myself to learn from it.
This year my girlfriend flew off to college in West Palm, Florida.This has been a killer for me because I haven't been able to see her and she is having a rough time in school.The last two months have been hard but we are working through it.I have been trying to get my dad to buy me a plane ticket to go down there.My dad told me if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket.I started to complain to him because I had no way of getting any money to give him.I spent several days and nights thinking of ways to earn money to go see my girlfriend.I finally came to the conclusion that I would get a job and work hard to earn some money to give to my dad.I applied to Safeway and ended up getting the job.
I have been working at Safeway for about a month now and work hard to earn money to go see my girlfriend.The other day my mom had surprised me and told me that she asked her boss if she could use their business miles(旅费) to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks.I was very thankful and told her I would help pay for anything that I have to.The thought of me working hard and getting a job showed my mom that I really cared and was trying my best to be a successful person.I believe that you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes, you get what you need.
【语篇解读】 作者的父亲总是引用歌词教育作者，凡事要靠自己的努力，作者就只凭借自己的努力满足和打动父母，如愿以偿地拿到了去看女朋友的机票。

B．They expected him to learn from the singer C．He always wanted to get everything he wanted D．They tried to educate him to do things for himself
【解析】 推理判断题。由作者在第一段最后的“I've always complained about the quote(引语)，although over time I have told myself to learn from it.”尽管作者总是抱怨，但自己也承认从中学到了东西，这正是父母引用的目的所在。
【答案】 D
2．What does the word “killer” underlined in the second paragraph refer to? A．Something that is quite troublesome. B．Something that is very difficult. C．A person who kills purposely. D．A person who treats women very badly.
【解析】 词义猜测题。由下文的解释“because I haven't been able to see her and she is having a rough time in school.”可以看出，女朋友离开去上大学了，自己感觉很孤独，再加上女友在学校“having a rough time”，由 此可以看出，这正是上文所说的 killer，一些使人烦恼的事情。
【答案】 A
3．What can we infer from the passage?
A．The author was lazy and unwilling to work hard. B．The author's father was too mean to give him money. C．The author's actual action won support from his mother. D．The author was unable to tear himself away from his girlfriend.
【解析】 推理判断题。当作者提出让父母出钱买机票去看女友的时候，父亲的答复是：作者得出钱，“if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket.”后来作者找了份工作(ended up getting the job) 并努力赚钱买票(work hard to earn money to go see my girlfriend.)，正是作者的实际行动感动了作者的妈

妈，从而 “asked her boss if she could use their business miles(旅费) to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks.”
【答案】 C
4．By writing the passage, the author tries to show . A．we can do nothing without money B．fathers are strict while mothers are kind C．it's hard for parents to bring up their children D．we should try to rely on ourselves for everything
【解析】 主旨大意题。作者开篇用一句歌词引出了主题：只要努力就能得到自己所需要的。中间用自己的一次经历进行了论证，最后一段在回扣“...trying my best to be a successful person.I believe that you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes, you get what you need.”，也就是“we should try to rely on ourselves for everything.”
【答案】 D
B
If the earth's population is in growth at this rate, there will not be enough resources.By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example.Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on the earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else.But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present.One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.
Sagan believes that before the earth's resources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as the earth itself.The difficulty is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.
Sagan proposes that algae organisms(海藻有机体) that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus.As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets.Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the

atmosphere .In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.
When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain.The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇科普说明文。未来人类会耗尽所有的资源，因此科学家们在考虑移民金星。事实上，金星上的环境并不完全适合人类。处理的办法是先在金星上投放藻类植物，使金星上的温度降低，增加空气中氧气的含量，这样人类或许就可以移民金星了。
5．In the long run, the most difficult problem caused by population growth on the earth will probably be the lack of .
A．oil C．resources
B．food D．space
【解析】 事实细节题。由第一段可知，未来人们面临的是生存空间的问题。故选D项。
【答案】 D
6. Carl Sagan believes that Venus might be a living place because . A．the days on Venus are long enough
B．it might be possible to change its atmosphere C．there is a good supply of water on Venus D．its atmosphere is the same as the earth's
【解析】 事实细节题。根据第二段可知，Sagan认为可以改变金星的气候。因此答案为B。
【答案】 B
7．Algae are plants that can . A．live in very hot temperature B．live in very cold temperature

2024-2024同步外研英语选修九新突破模块综合检测+5+Word版含解析
C．produce oxygen D．all of the above
【解析】 事实细节题。由第三段“Sagan proposes that algae organisms(海藻有机体) that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen...”一句可知它既可以在很冷很热的温度中生存也可以产生氧气。因此答案选D。
【答案】 D
8．Man can land on Venus only when . A．it rains there B．there is oxygen
C．the atmosphere becomes cooler D．the algae have done their work
【解析】 事实细节题。根据最后一段这句可知，人类登陆金星之前，那里的氧气必须能够产生雨水。故选A。
【答案】 A
C
There are some strong-willed people who think of leaving smoking today and are free from the addiction the very next day.However, not everybody is so fortunate.Some of the smokers may have to resort to medications(药物治疗) in order to kick off this habit.
What do these medications actually do is that they reduce the wish to smoke.These medications must be taken only under the overseeing of a doctor.Five medications which have been approved by the FDA to stop smoking are bupropion SR, nicotine gum, nicotine inhaler, nicotine nasal spray and nicotine patch.Nicotine gum(口香糖) and nicotine patch(片) are used over-the-counter.However, the other medications require prescription(药方)．
Zyban tablets have been found to be highly effective in curing people of smoking addiction.The tablet needs to be taken in whole without crushing it as crushing can lead to side effects.It should be taken only on the prescription of a doctor.
