Module 6　综合技能测试 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分，共150分。考试时间120分钟。 第Ⅰ卷(选择题) 第一部分　听力 第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 A The Aswan High Dam is one of the worlds largest dams on the Nile River in southern Egypt. Aswan is a city on the Nile in Egypt.As waters from East Africa flowed down the river，the water in the Nile brought nutrients and minerals that made the soil around the Nile fertile and ideal for farming，but at the same time，it caused serious floods.So，to prevent the rivers flooding，generate electricity and provide water for agriculture，the Aswan High Dam was built. In 1899，the construction of the first dam began and lasted until 1902.The dam was 1,900 m long and 54 m high then.However，the dam was soon found not big enough and the height of the dam was raised twice.When the dam almost overflowed again in 1946，it was decided that rather than raise the dam a third time，a second dam would be built 6 km upriver.Proper planning began in 1952.At first the USA and Britain were to help finance construction.But both nations cancelled the offer for reasons not entirely known.At last，the Soviet Union stepped in，and possibly a third of the cost of the dam was paid for as a gift.The Soviets also provided technicians and heavy machinery.Construction began in 1960，and was completed on July 21,1970. The Aswan High Dam is 3,600 m in length，and 111 m tall.It produces a hydro-electric output of 2.1 gigawatts and allows for the connection of most Egyptian villages to electricity. In addition to the benefits，however，damming the Nile caused a number of issues. 21．Which is NOT the purpose of the construction of the dam? A．To prevent the rivers flooding. B．To generate electricity. C．To provide water for agriculture. D．To overflow soils and bring salt to the surface. 答案： D　细节理解题。从第二段最后一句So，to prevent the rivers flooding，generate electricity and provide water for agriculture，the Aswan High Dam was built.可知，只有D项淹没土地把盐分带到表面不是大坝建设的目的。 22．Whats the
