2024届高考英语一轮复习单元演练：选修7 Modules 5-6（第2课时）（外研版含答案）
第一部分 选修七 Modules 5-6
1．(2024·蚌埠三中高三质检改编)The number of students in our class ________ more than 50 and the majority of them ________ from the countryside.
答案：is; are 考查主谓一致。句意：我们班有50多个学生，并且大部分都来自农村。the number of...“……的数量”，用作主语时，其谓语动词应用单数is；the majority of...“……的大多数”，用作主语时，其谓语动词取决于of后面的名词，此时them＝students，是可数名词复数，其后动词显然应用复数，故应用are。
2．(2024·济南一中高三质检改编)According to experts, China needs to ________ its one child family planning policy to fight against a worsening gender (性别) imbalance and an aging population.
答案：adjust 考查动词词义。句意：专家认为，中国有必要调整只生一个孩子的计划生育政策，以应对性别比例失调和老龄化加剧问题。adjust“调整”，符合题意。
3．________(accuse) of stealing money from the bank, he was questioned by the police.
答案：Accused 考查过去分词作原因状语。he与accuse之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，因此用过去分词形式。
4．The town has ________ population of about 10,000 and 80% of ________ population are farmers.
答案：a; the 考查冠词。句意：这个镇大约有一万人口，其中百分之八十是农民。have a population of...“有……人口”；第二个空特指“这些人口”中的80%。
5．(2024·河南省濮阳三高高三上学期期末改编)—Tom, how was your party last night?
—It couldn't have been ________. I had a wonderful gettogether with my old friends.
答案：better 考查形容词的比较等级。句意：——“汤姆，你昨晚的聚会怎么样？”——“非常好。我和我的老朋友有一个很棒的聚会。”从a wonderful gettogether判断出聚会很棒，前面出现了couldn't，根据“否定词＋比较级”相当于最高级的规律，It couldn't have been better意为“它不可能更好了”，相当于是“它是最好的，非常好”。
6．(2024·天津大港一中高三月考改编)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气的再次出现使大约14 000千米的公路受阻，仅仅星期天一天就有12 000多名乘客因此而耽搁了行程。前面整个句子所描述的内容是delay的逻辑主语，二者之间是主动关系，只能用现在分词作状语，delay这个动作又是后发生的，所以用ving一般式。
7．(2024·唐山高三一模改编)The survivors of the crashed plane had no food or water and were ________the mercy of the extremely cold weather.
答案：at 考查介词短语。句意：这架坠毁飞机的幸存者没有食物和水，面对极其寒冷的天气束手无策。at the mercy of “受/听任……摆布”，符合句意。
8．(2024·宝鸡高三质检改编)I strongly recommend that the information ________(refer) to in my report be emailed to Professor Keller without delay.
答案：referred 句意；我强烈建议我报告中所提到的信息应立刻发给凯勒教授。空处表示“刚才我报告中提到的信息”，用过去分词作定语。
9. ________ well prepared you are, you still need a lot of luck in finding a suitable job.
答案：However 考查让步状语从句。句意：无论你准备得多么充分，要想找一个合适的工作仍然需要很大的运气。空格内可用no matter how或however，表示“无论多么”。
10．—How about the result?
—Well, it remains ________(see) whether we've got enough support.
答案：to be seen 考查非谓语动词。答句句意：我们是否能得到足够的支持，这一点有待于观察。表示将来的被动动作应用动词不定式的被动式。

A
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 highquality 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 healthrelated 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 (草书的), because printing has some limitations. Cursive provides the analyst with the upstrokes (向上的一笔) 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 (笔迹学家).
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 (适应性) 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!
语篇解读：你知道吗？每个人都有不同的笔迹。通过笔迹分析，可以发现人的很多个性品质。

A．Because analyzing handwriting goes back to the 1600s.
B．Because analyzing handwriting originated in Europe.

答案：C 推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可推知，人们之所以想进行笔迹分析是因为笔迹分析可发现一个人的很多个性品质。
