A．was; began B．is; has begun C．will be; begins D．is; began 【答案】D 【详解】考查时态和固定句型。句意：从他开始学习法语到现在已经五年了。分析句子结构及选项可知，考查固定句型结构“It is/has been+一段时间+since从句（一般过去时）”，表示“自从做某事已经多长时间了”，第一空用is/has been，第二空用began。故选D。 16．— I don’t know if Sam ________ tomorrow. — Don’t worry.

Then he realized that a piece of clothing, regardless of whether it is from a well-known brand or not, may only be worn for one or two years. Besides, the quality of famed brands sometimes is not as good as that of ordinary ones. Now he spends no more than 100 yuan on each item of clothing. “As long as the clothes are suitable to wear, this is fine.” “I hope to realize maximum happiness through minimum spending. As luxury food and brand-name clothing cannot increase my happiness, why not satisfy myself by spending less for the same amount of happiness?” He said. Ma Yuan, 36, a college teacher in Shanxi province, began saving money a year ago. She wants to save money for advanced studies and her family expects to travel. She stopped buying well-known brands of make-up—using cheaper products instead. Ma also recycled empty boxes, cut back on dining out, and reduced the number of unnecessary purchases. “While buying may bring short happiness, I have discovered that living a more frugal (节俭的) lifestyle can lead to a sense of satisfaction,” she said. “I have many dreams that require financial support. By controlling and reducing my spending, I am able to bring those dreams closer to reality.” It’s a good idea to have a certain amount of money saved for better use in the future. 26．He Jiazheng thinks the quality of famed brands is ________ that of ordinary brands. A．better than B．sometimes not as good as C．worse than D．as good as 27．When buying clothes, what does He Jiazheng care about most now? A．Quality. B．Color. C．Style. D．Price. 28．What can we know about Ma Yuan? A．She used to buy well-known brands of make-up. B．She wants to save money for her children. C．She no longer dines out. D．She is a college student in Shanxi province. 29．What can we infer from the underlined sentence? A．Living a frugal life can bring Ma Yuan the shortest happiness. B．The less Ma Yuan buys, the unhappier she feels. C．Ma Yuan prefers sense of satisfaction to short happiness. D．Ma Yuan has never experienced a sense of satisfaction before. 30．What may be the best title for the passage? A．Ways of Making Money B．How to Shop Smartly C．Spending Less and Save More D．The Stories of Two Young People 【答案】26．B 27．D 28．A 29．C 30．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了两位个人关于消费观念的转变。何家正逐渐认识到大品牌的服装质量不一定优于普通品牌，开始追求在有限花费下实现最大快乐，而马源为了实现自己的梦想采取了更为节俭的生活方式，并通过减少不必要的开支来实现自己的目标。 【详解】26．考查细节理解。根据第一段“Besides, the quality of famed brands sometimes is not as good as that of ordinary ones. (此外，知名品牌的质量有时不如普通品牌。)”可知，他认为知名品牌的质量有时不如普通品牌。故选B。 27．考查细节理解。根据第二段“Now he spends no more than 100 yuan on each item of clothing. (现在他每件衣服的花费不超过100元。)”和第三段“I hope to realize maximum happiness through minimum spending. (我希望通过最小的支出实现最大的幸福。)”可知，他现在买衣服最关心的是价格。故选D。 28．考查细节理解。根据第五段“She stopped buying well-known brands of make-up—using cheaper products instead. (她不再购买知名品牌的化妆品，而是使用更便宜的产品。)”可知，她过去常常购买知名品牌的化妆品。故选A。 29．考查推理判断。根据第六段“While buying may bring short happiness, I have discovered that living a more frugal (节俭的) lifestyle can lead to a sense of satisfaction (虽然购买可能会带来短暂的快乐，但我发现过一种更节俭的生活方式可以带来满足感)”可知，马源更倾向于节俭生活带来的满足感，而不是短暂的快乐。故选C。 30．考查主旨大意。文章主要讲述了何嘉诚和马源如何通过减少花费和储蓄更多来实现自己的梦想和目标的故事，及最后一段“It’s a good idea to have a certain amount of money saved for better use in the future. (为了将来更好地使用，存一笔钱是个好主意。)”可知，“花费更少，储蓄更多”是最合适的标题。故选C。 B China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets. People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time. However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount (数量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes. The difference could be due to the different weather. Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day or else the food may go bad. 31．In southern China, people usually buy ________ at a time. A．a small amount of food B．a large amount of food C．enough food for a week D．a lot of meat and vegetables 32．If you buy fruits in the south, the shop owners may ________. A．peel and cut them for you B．laugh at you C．only sell them in boxes and baskets D．only sell a single apple or pear 33．Many northern Chinese have the habit of keeping food because ________. A．the weather is hot and wet B．food goes bad quickly C．the weather is cold and dry D．they live far away from markets 34．The underlined words “due to” mean “________” in Chinese. A．所以 B．但是 C．然而 D．因为 35．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Different Weather in China B．Different Living Habits in China C．Southern Chinese and Northern Chinese D．Southern China and Northern China 【答案】31．A 32．A 33．C 34．D 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要说明了居住在中国南方和北方的人有着迥异的生活习惯，以在市场购物为例。 【详解】31．细节理解题。根据第二段“People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. (南方人说他们总是只买够一餐或两餐所需的食物。)”可知，南方人每次只买够一两顿饭的食材，说明在南方，人们通常一次买少量食物。故选A。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段“Shop owners even help you peel and cut them(店主甚至会帮你削皮和切块。)”可知，在南方买水果，店主可能会为你削皮和切好。故选A。 33．细节理解题。根据第四段“Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. (在北方，食物可以保存很长时间，因为那里通常寒冷干燥。许多北方人都有储存食物的习惯，尤其是为了漫长的冬天。)”可知，北方人有储存食物的习惯是由于北方天气寒冷干燥。故选C。 34．词句猜测题。根据“The difference could be due to the different weather. (这种差异可能是由于不同的天气造成的。)”和第四段对南北方天气差异的描述可推测出是南北方气候的不同导致了南北方不同的生活习惯，因此“due to”意为“因为”。故选D。 35．主旨大意题。根据第二句“Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. (不同的生活习惯一直是国内一个有趣的话题。)”和全文内容可知，本文在讨论中国南北方不同的生活习惯，因此“Different Living Habits in China (在中国不同的生活习惯)”作为最佳标题符合主旨大意。故选B。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 ( 1 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 编写说明：本套试卷紧扣《英语 基础模块2》（外研版第二版）教材，以教材单元为基准精准覆盖核心考点。 每个单元设置AB卷，A卷为基础巩固卷，侧重基础考点训练，帮助学生扎实掌握知识要点；B卷为能力提升卷，注重知识整合与全面检测，引导学生构建知识网络。全书设计4份综合测试卷，模拟实战情境，聚焦解题能力突破，全面提升应试能力与知识应用水平。 《英语 基础模块2》（外研版第二版）《单元过关卷》 Unit 6 Let's Go Shopping A卷·基础巩固 考试时间：40分钟 满分：100分 班级 姓名 学号 成绩 一、英语知识运用：本题共25小题，每小题2分，共50分。在每小题给出的四个选项中，只有一项符合题目要求。 1．We will start as soon as he ________.

Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets. People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time. However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount (数量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes. The difference could be due to the different weather. Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day or else the food may go bad. 31．In southern China, people usually buy ________ at a time.
