AHaving experienced a shocking electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, James Franco’s world became complete ly dark and quiet for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20 minutes later, lying face down in muddy water. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw：a tree and a muddy road. When Mrs. Franco came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since James losthis sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.21. The reason why James attempted to kill himself was that _________.A. a terrible electrical accident happened to himB. nobody in the world cared about himC. he was struck by the lightning once moreD. he had to live in a dark and silent world22.

James Franco and His WifeBLily, a student of Cambridge University, has bought a bicycle and is worried about safety. Her friend, Cathryn, found this article and sent it to her.How to make your bicycle safe？A number of crimes are against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year andmost are never found. You can prevent this from happening by following a few careful steps. Basic SecurityNever leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and carry them with you, for example lights and saddles （车座）.LocksThere are various types of locks. Buy one that has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop owner.MarkingSecurity marking your bike can act as an obstruction to thieves, which can also help the police find your bicycle. Your postcode and your house or flat number should be included and clearly recorded. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.RegistrationThere are many companies that will security mark your bicycle. They will then store your registration number and personal details in their computer database. If your bicycle is found, it will be easy to contact you.AttentionKeep a record of the bicycle by yourself：its production, model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it. This will prove the bicycle belongs to you.25. Which part of the article gives the information on how to lock your bicycle when youleave？A. RegistrationB. LocksC. MarkingD. Basic Security26. Which one is wrong about the security marking of a bicycle？A. It can help the police to find and identify the lost bike.B. Some companies can assist you in doing this.C. It can ensure that the thieves won't steal the bike.D. A security marking database makes it easy to get in touch with the owner.27. The article advises you to keep a record of your bicycle _______.A. by yourself and in a security company as wellB. either in a security company or your universityC. both in the bike shop and your computerD. in the police station as well as a marketing company28. Which of the following information may not be necessarily recorded？A. your personal information and recommendation in your computer databaseB. the signing number of the bike as well as your addressC. both the type of the bike and its pictureD. your postcode and personal detailsCTea production in Sri Lanka has thrived for decades. The tea gardens in Hatton, Sri Lanka are actually large tea estates. The best tea usually comes from plants grown on high grounds, the cool hilltops with rows and rows of tea plants. The plants are about one meter apart. The plant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimeters high. Pruning is important because it encourages the growth of tender shoots, or young leaves. It is from these shoots that the best tea is got.Practically all the tea pickers are women. The estates prefer to employ women pickers because they are more careful. Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves and new shoots from the plant, which are the parts used for processing tea. The pickers carry large baskets into which they throw their pickings. A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14 kilograms of tea leaves a day. Usually new shoots can be picked from the plants about every ten or fifteen days.Processing tea shoots into our familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill. There are various methods of processing depending on the type of tea required. For black tea, the young green leaves are first spread out shelves to dry. This process removes much of its water and the leaves become soft. After this, the leaves are passed through heavy rollers. This operation will press the leaves for juices which give the tea both its color and taste. Then the leaves are spread out on floors and left to ferment（发酵）under wet conditions. Fermentation develops the rich taste of black tea. The fermented leaves are then dried with a hot-air blower until they become rolled-up black leaves. The final step is to sort and grade them before the black tea is ready for sale to countries all over the world.29. The underlined word “pruning” means “”.A. reasonable use of chemicalsB. regular cutting of the plantsC. frequent wateringD. loosening the soil30. How many processing steps are mentioned in the last paragraph？A. SixB. FiveC. FourD. Three31. What does the author imply in the passage？A. Fermentation is a must to enrich the flavour of black tea.B. Women pickers are welcomed because they can easily find the twin leaves.C. T ea production has long been prosperous in Sri Lanka.D. T ea pickings can be done biweekly.DSome inventions are so useful, but seem so simple, that we wonder why no one thought of them long ago.Post-it Notes were invented about twenty years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Company. The idea for the product came from an awful experience he often had while singing in his church choir. Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. Around that time, Fry heard about a new adhesive （粘合剂） that a colleague, Dr. Spence Silver, had created. This adhesive was special because it was strong enough to hold papers together, but not strong enough to tear the paper when it was removed.A short time later, Fry realized that his new invention had even more uses than being a great bookmark. He came to this realization when he wrote a note on one of his new “bookmarks” and attached it to a report he was going to give to a colleague. Soon, co-workers were asking Fry for more of his invention so that they could use the new type of notes themselves.Fry and some other people at 3M believed so much in the new product that they asked the company to give away thousands of the “sticky pieces of paper” for trial use. When some salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered howuseful Post-it Notes could be, the product took off.32. How did Dr. Spence help Art Fry？A. His adhesive made Art’s invention possible.B. He offered the new adhesive to Art.C. He created the Post-it Notes.D. He often worked and discussed science with Art.33. Which of the following is a possible use of Post-it Notes？A. A postcard from abroad.B. An ad in a newspaper.C. A note on a friend’s door.D. An e-mail to a friend.34. Which of the following shows the proper order of the events？a. The company gave away many “sticky pieces of paper” for people to try.b. Dr. Spence created a new adhesive.c. Many orders were received and the Post-it Notes became successful.d. Fry invented Post-it Notes.e. His colleagues began to use the new types of notes themselves.A. d b a e cB. b a e d cC. b d e a cD. d e a b c35. In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage？A. EconomyB. RecreationC. CultureD. Science第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It features the local weather, andother key factors that will inform your decision about what to wear before stepping outside.GobyYour Event GuruWhen you're in a foreign city, you sometimes look around and ask: Where areall the people? Goby has the answer. This app pinpoints the neighborhood hotspots (including museums, hotels, eateries, and more) in your neighborhood.But its true value comes in finding nearby events.

Where are the readers likely to read the passage above?A. In a geography textbookB. In a science and technology magazineC. On a popular websiteD. In a business report2. Born in the State of New York on May 14th, 1984, Mark Zuckerberg was an instant success. In his high school years, he was considered one of topstudents in the classics, before moving into the arts, sciences, andliterature, again picking up high marks and receiving academic praise. It earned him admission to Harvard University.As a rebellious yet relatively quiet student, he created a website called Facemash in the university– an instantly controversial website that encouraged students to rate each other based on appearance.The site was controversial for several reasons. The first was its illegal use of photographs, which the university and students took issue with. The second was its controversial nature – not every student like being ranked based ontheir appearance. The third was its huge resource use –while it was hosted on Harvard servers, it was the most popular page in the university’s entire n etwork.Zuckerberg was soon forced to shut the site down, but its popularity and controversy had made him consider its future potential. He soon turned the simple site into a personalone for Harvard students, encouraging them to network with their peers at the college. It was then, together with his two friends, that they launched “The Facebook”, which immediately spread to other colleges and grew into a public service that anyone could access in the United States, whether to network with friends and family, or to play games.The company has been criticized frequently, nevertheless, Zuckerberg has remained true to his initial vision – to create a website that the entire world can use to communicate openly and easily with one another and to keep the user experience clean and pure. The end result is one of the world’s biggest online businesses.Although its true value is debatable, it’s safe to say that Facebook, andits creator Mark Zuckerberg, are two of the twenty-first century’s most influential, controversial, and potentially powerful figures.1. When Mark Zuckerberg was a student, he_____________________.A. was often praised by teachers for the website hecreatedB. had good academic performanceC. alone created a website called FacebookD. encouraged students to set up business like him2. The reason why Zuckerberg shut the site down was probably that__________.A. his website was not popularB. he was doubted for the way he used photographsC. he needed time to reconsider his choiceD. he stole resource on Harvard server3. Which words can best describe Zuckerberg?A. easy-going and smart.B. quiet and shy.C. talented and outgoing.D. rebellious and creative.4. The best title of the passage should be________________.A. Mark Zuckerberg and his FacebookB. The Foundation of FacebookC. A Talent from Harvard UniversityD. The Development of Facebook3. Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child – a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast from the past,” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words comeback to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speakthe words. They had the second group speak the words toa rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group tosing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian languagefor 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does notshare any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these newHungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five ofthe tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh’s website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeatsinging method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”1. The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to__________.A. recall the pastB. attract the readersC. introduce the topicD. compare the childhood with the present2. According to the passage which language doesn’t share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?A. HungarianB. SpanishC. ItalianD. English3. Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that __________A. singing is the best way to learn a language.B. the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words.C. a listen-repeat method is very effective for anylanguage learner.D. Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other.4. In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?A. A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.B. A child is going to have his first music lesson.C. A student is going to learn a new English song.D. An American is going to learn some Chinese.4. “Walt Disney World is banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks because selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast." Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said.Under a new policy, which takes effect Tuesday, the poles won’t make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also won't be allowed in DisneyWorld water parks or Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. Selfie-sticks will also become forbidden at Disneyland Resort in California on June 30. The prohibition begins at Disney's parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1.Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks' entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them. Visitors will be told of the policy inlocations such as the parking lots and at the resort's hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rulespost on Disney World's website.The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, thesticks were prohibited from its rides, and "no selfie-sticks"signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given oral warnings to rule breakers.Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing theme-park moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned in public places – including some museums and stadiums – worldwide for obstructing views or causing safety issues.Disney World already prohibits items such as skateboards, inline skates, wagon, folding chairs and glass containers, according to its official website, which also lists “other items that we determine may be harmful.”Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks and other loose items from certain thrill rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, but it has not set parkwide bans.1. Which of the following objects has already been banned in Disney theme parks before the new policy takes effect?A. smart phonesB. folding chairsC. camerasD. containers2. According to the ban, if the guests are found carrying selfie-sticksduring the routine bagcheck, they may __________.A. abandon them at the bag checkB. get fined and pick them up laterC. turn them in to the policeD. put them in the trunk of their cars3. The underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably means__________.A. changing_________B. broadeningC. blockingD. narrowing4. According to the passage, it can be inferred that__________A. the ban on the use of selfie-sticks is aimed at ensuring security.B. previously guests can take photos with selfie-sticks on thrill rides.C. the staff in Disneyland will inform visitors of theban only orally.D. Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks parkwide.二、七选五5. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

高三英语月考试题及答案-三门峡市陕州中学2016届高三下学期尖子生专题训练

2015-2016学年下期高三尖子生专题训练英语试卷时间；110分钟分值：150分第二部分阅读理解(共20小题，每小题2分，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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

APicture the scene: You come home after work feeling too exhausted to cook –only to find a delicious meal worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant waiting for you. It sounds like a fantasy, but it could be about to come true thanks to a robot chef developed by British scientists.Those scientists have come up with a set of robotic arms so smart that they are capable of cooking meals all by themselves. The device will be sold from as early as 2017 as part of a purpose-built high-tech kitchen.Scientists at Moley Robotics spent almost 18 years developing the hands. According to its creators, the arms can chop, stir, whisk and baste well enough to recreate almost anything you would care to eat, whether it is a simple home-cooked supper, or a complicated creation designed by a world-class chef. The hands move a little slowly, hovering strangely above the work surface whenever they are not busy, but they imitate human movements closely enough that they can do things such as wiping a spoon on the edge of a pan to prevent drips.Mr. Oleynik, who is leading the project, said, “All the things which are possible with the hand are possible here. There is no limitation. A lot of people want to go to Michelin-starred restaurants, but they are quite expensive and may be quite far from the home. This is an opportunity for people to enjoy very good food, and for a reas onable price. ”The only cuisine that is off the robot’s menu at the moment is sushi, which requires extremely steady pressure and nimble fingers to make, but the team plan to conquer that as well by the time it goes on sale.21. People go to Michelin-starred restaurants in order to______.A. appreciate car tires.B. escape from workC. see the new robot chefsD. enjoy delicious meals22. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. British scientistsB. Household wivesC. Cooks at restaurantsD. The robot chef’s arms23. Which kind of food CAN’T the robot chef cook at present?A. SushiB. BeefC. BreadD. Sandwich24. What can we infer from the passage?A. Hands of a robot chef can perform exactly like a cook.B. It is uncertain when the robot can cook all kinds of food.C. Michelin-starred restaurants are suitable for many people.D. Robot chefs are available at shopping malls.BAbout five years ago, an American electrical engineer named Scott Brusaw and his wife Julie came up with the idea of putting solar panels on the ground rather than the roof. Then they began to develop the Solar Roadway. The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun while providing safer driving conditions, along with power and data delivery. They predict that the Solar Roadway will pay for itself through the generation of electricity along with other forms of income and that the same money that is being used to build and resurface current roads can be used to build the Solar Roadways.Each Solar Road Panel measures roughly 4 meters by 4 meters and contains a microprocessor (微处理器) that monitors and controls the panel, while communicating with neighboring panels and the vehicles traveling overhead. The inventors suggest that this provides a communications device every 4 meters on every road which could be used for example to warn drivers of cars which are moving across a centre line and various other speed control problems. The top of the Solar Road panels is made of super-strong glass that would offer vehicles the tractions (抓地力) they need.According to the inventors, the Solar Roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricity and therefore electric vehicles can be recharged at any conveniently located rest stop, or at any business that has paved Solar Road Panels in their parking lots.The inventors say their Solar Roadway has many functions and advantages from main roads to driveways, parking lots, bike paths, sidewalks and runways. The Federal Highway Administrationhas given Brusaw $100,000 to develop the invention and Brusaw hopes to build a smart-road parking lot in the coming spring.25. In the inventors’ opinion, the Solar Roadway _____.A. is too expensive to build at presentB. costs no more money than current roadsC. can provide as many data as present computersD. will bring them a large sum of money26. It can be inferred from the text that _____.A. the Solar Roadway has already been put into useB. $100,000 is only enough to build a smart-road parking lotC. the Solar Roadway is not available for gas-powered carsD. future electric vehicles can be charged anytime and anywhere27. What can be the best title for the text?A. Solar-powered smart road of the futureB. The great changes on the roadwayC. The influence the Solar Roadway has on peopleD. The Solar Road — a much faster roadCA tender woman, or an independent one, which one would you prefer? A recent research shows that most people would choose the latter.This type of woman is called a nühanzi (“tough woman”). Experts believe these characteristics have s ocial and psychological roots among young females in China. Su Hao’s friends all call her a tough woman, because she can finish tough tasks usually carried out by men. For example, she carries 10-litre water to her dormitory on the 5th floor. “I depend on no one but myself,” she says.According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, tough women have become rather common in society. Of the 21,265 respondents, 78.5 percent said they are familiar with a tough woman. About 50 percent said they like women with tough characteristics, while less than 29 percent expressed the opposite view.Why are tough women gaining popularity? Shen Meng, a psychological consultant, believes the fierce competition in society is contributing to this trend. “Women are often in a d isadvantagedposition compared to men,” Shen says. “In order to survive, they have to be independent, strong and tough.” Liu Xiaolin, professor of psychology at Wuhan Mental Health Center, believes tough women are brought up this way. They are often on close relationship with their fathers, who teach their daughters to be brave and decisive,” he says. As a result, these women are more likely to be psychologically healthy and more tolerant to stress, according to Liu.Though Liu believes that this is a good trend, Hu Shenzhi, a psychologist at the Guangdong Sunflower Counseling Center, says the popularity of tough woman indicates an unclear line between gender identities, which can lead to relationship problems. “Some women with characteristics that differ fr om the traditional female image may have a difficult time finding Mr Right,” he says. “Even if they get married, their manly characteristics might cause family conflicts.28. Which of the followings doesn’t belong to the characteristics of a tough woman?A. She is independent of others in daily life.B. She can solve problems usually for men.C. She is more tolerant to stress.D. She is soft and tender to others.29. How many respondents like tough women?A. about 21,265.B. about 16,700.C. about 10,600.D. about 6,20030. Why are there more tough women nowadays?A. Because tough women are more lovely.B. Because of the fierce competition in society.C. Because girls often love fathers more.D. Because more women want to be independent.31. What problems may tough women have in their life?A. They may have difficulty with marriage.B. They often suffer gender confusion.C. It’s difficult for them to be friends.D. They have different characteristics from traditional female images.DOur “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride theirbikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children asked her tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s alway s a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves to be an only child at least once in a while.32. What is the text mainly about?A. The happy life of two families.. B. The experience of the only child being with mother.C. The advantage of spending time with one child at a timeD. The basic needs of children.33. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.A. happyB. curiousC. regretfulD. friendly34. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?A. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.B. Sam holds her hand more often.C. The daughter acts like a leader.D. The boys become better followers.35. The author seems to believe that ___________.A. having brothers and sisters is funB. pa rents should watch others’ childrenC. it’s tiring to look after three childrenD. every child needs parents’ full attention第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

河南省三门峡市陕州中学2016届高三下学期尖子生专题训练(四)英语试题 Word版含答案

2015-2016学年下期高三尖子生专题训练（四）英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AJust finishing loading his car, my husband Jerry went back to the kitchen. “I guess filling my thermos（保温杯）is all I have left to do, and then I’m off.” Down the drain went the hot water that had been warming his thermos.With a nostalgic（怀旧的）look on his face, he softly said: “Anytime I fill my thermos I think of your mom.” The tone in his voice was so tender as h e spoke of my mother, who is sadly no longer with us.“Oh honey, I know she’s watching and listening right now with a big smile on her face, ”I responded, tears in my eyes.One morning years ago when we were leaving, mother watched as Jerry was to fill his thermos. Mom then casually said, ‘Jerry, if you filled your thermos with hot water and let it sit a while, your coffee would stay hot for longer then.” With her simple suggestion, his face showed that he was shocked by his own lack of common sense, well, of course it would!He poured out the small amount of coffee already in the thermos and refilled it with boiling hot water. Then he poured the water and refilled it with hot coffee. Mom smiled as Jerry did so.Words of wisdom from a loving mother-in-law made an impact that will never be forgotten. She never dreamed her words would be a treasured and everlasting memory in the heart of her son-in-law.The lasting memories don’t necessarily come from major moments in life. Memories are often made during those small, ordinary times. Life is about small moments we share with friends and loved ones.21. Which word best describes the author’s feeling in Paragraph 3? ____A. TouchedB. ConcernedC. ConfusedD. Interested22. The advice the mother gave Jerry was to ___.A. fill the thermos with a little coffee firstB. fill thermos with coffee before with warm water.C. warm the thermos up before filling it with coffeeD. think of her whenever filling the thermos with coffee.23. The underlined part “don’t necessarily” is similar in meaning to ________.A. without any doubtB. possibly but uncertainlyC. certainly and absolutelyD. out of the question24. The message that the story intends to convey is ______.A. how valuable a mother’s advice is to her children.B. that lasting memories come from small thingsC. what a wise woman the mother is to her son-in-lawD. why we should respect our parents and listen to them.BMen are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity (名人) chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver，according to a report from Oxford University.The effect of the celebrity role models，who have given cooking a more manly picture，has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.According to the research by Prof. Jonatahn Gershuny，who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford，men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking，up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.Prof.Gershuny said，“The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend.There has been 40 years of sexual equality，but there is another 40 years probably to come.”Women，who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking，now spend just one hour and seven minutes—a great fall，but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.Some experts have named these men in aprons（围裙）as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”，who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay，Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley－Whittingstall，Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd.“I was married in 1974.When my father came to visit me a few weeks later，I was wearing an apron when I opened the door.He laughed，” said Prof.Gershuny.“That would never happen now.”Two－thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week，even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table. Prof. Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a table—with many “family meals” in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room，and shared by family members.“The family meal has changed a lot，and few of us eat—as I did when I was a child—at least two meals a day together as a family. But it has survived in a different format.”25.What is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?A. The improvement of cooks’ status.B. The influence of popular female chefs.C. The change of female's view on cooking.D. The development of sexual equality campaign.26.How did Prof. Gershuny see the family meal according to the passage?A. It has become a thing of the past.B. It is very different from what it used to be.C. It shouldn't be advocated in modern times.D. It is beneficial to the stability of the family.27.Which is the best title for the passage?A. The Changes of Family MealsB. Equality between Men and WomenC. Cooking into a New Trend for MenD. Cooking—a Thing of the Past for WomenCThanks to this new hands free suitcase, carrying around heavy luggage may soon become a thing of the past. Designed by Israeli company NUA Robotics, this “smart”suitcase can follow you everywhere you go.The carry-on suitcase, currently a prototype(雏形) , connects to a smartphone app via bluetooth. It has a built-in camera sensor that can “see” you and follow you around on flat surfaces like airport floors. It comes with an anti-theft alarm to prevent someone carrying it away when you’re not looking, and it has a backup battery that you can use to charge all your devices.“It can follow and carry things for people around while communicating with their smartphone, and avoiding obstacles, ”explained Alex Libman, founder of NUA Robotics. “We’re combining sensor network, computer vision, and robotics．So if you download our app, press the ‘follow me’ button, the luggage recognizes its user and knows to follow and communicate.”NUA is still testing the device and trying improve features like speed and customization, but they hope to make the suitcase available to custom ers in a year’s time. If it proves successful, they want to use the Bluetooth pairing technology to automate lots of other devices，like shopping carts at the supermarket. These devices are especially meant to be useful to the physically disabled and elderly. “Any object can be smart and robotic,” Libman told Mashable. “We want to bring robots into everyday life.”The Israeli tech company made it clear that the finished product will look just like a regular suitcase. They’re planning to partner with a carry-on luggage maker, since the device that makes it “smart” weighs just 2.5 pounds and can be fixed on old-fashion luggage.With NUA'S smart suitcase, carrying around heavy luggage isn’t a burden. But how their invention will handle tough obstacles like stairs? It will be interesting to wait.28. According to the passage the “smart” suitcase_______．A. it can go everywhere it would like to goB. is on sale now in the marketC. can make our hands free during travelingD. was designed by Alex Libman29. If you want to use this free hand suitcase，you must_____．A. download the appB. avoid obstaclesC. look at it all the timeD. carry a camera30. What can we learn about NUA?A. It was a company which was founded by Mashable．B. It has improved the features of the device up to now．C. It wants to bring more smart and robotic devices into daily life．D. It will make the suitcase available to customers in a month．31. Where is the article probably from?A. A textbook．B. A poster．C. A biography．D. A website．DWith autumn on the horizon, the season’s first Oscar competitors are here. Already, the Hollywood Reporter has predicted that the often-snubbed(冷落的) Leonardo DiCaprio could win. Although before we get swept up in predictions, it’s nice to remember that little gold men are not the reason we love the movies. They shouldn’t be the primary reason for acting in them either.Bill Murray knows this first hand. Murray was positioned to win his first-ever Oscar Academy Award for 2004’s “Lost in Translation”, but he lost it to Sean Penn. Years later, Murray explained how he took the defeat in stride(从容应对), and his words should act as a blueprint for anyone who has failed:“I went through it once before and it’s nice to get nominated and win s ome prizes. You get to go to dinners and tell little stories and so forth. Then you get to get dressed up. And then you get to be on TV, which is sweet. And you can either win or lose. Well you’re not supposed to say ‘lose’ when you talk about the Oscar. Y ou are supposed to say ‘not chosen’. But I later realized that I had gotten a little caught up in the possibility of winning. So, shame on myself for getting caught in it. But I won a lot of the prizes for Lost in Translation. So I thought it didn’t seem u nnatural to expect that I would be rewarded just one more time. So when it didn’t happen, I thought, ‘Well, that’s kind of funny.’ But to get prizes is not why you work.”Murray isn’t alone in those feelings. No mention of actors without Oscars would be c omplete without recognition of Leonardo DiCaprio, who said, “I don’t think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever, to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am motivated by being able to work with great people an d create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of.”Perhaps neither Murray nor DiCaprio will ever be introduced as an Academy Award-winning actor, but winning an Oscar for acting shouldn’t be the point. Here are some other amazing actors who never won an Oscar, even if you think they did: Julianne Moore, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Will Smith. And they have proved that countless times before.32.We can learn about Bill Murray from the passage that_________.A.he felt ashamed tha t he didn’t win the Oscar.B.he never expected himself to win the Oscar.C.he had already won many other awards before he failed in Oscar.D.he is the first actor who had been predicted to win the Oscar but failed.33. Leonard DiCaprio is motivated to act different roles because _________A.he wants to win the Oscar.B. he can cooperate with great people.B.he wants others to take pride in him. D. he is not the only actor who hasn’twon the Oscar.34. The underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to “_________”.A.Neither Murray nor DiCaprio will won an Oscar.B.Winning an Oscar for acting shouldn’t be the point.C.Some amazing actors have never won an Oscar.D.You think that some actors should have won an Oscar.35. What is the writer’s attitude to Leonardo’s idea on winning an Oscar?A. Approving.B. CriticalC. opposing.D. Neutral.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Today it is considered one of the finest restaurants not only in the US but also around the world. Unlike other restaurants, her restaurant encourages people to eat healthy food. She buys fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers and prepares them in a healthy way. Alice Waters even started a movement called “slow food”, to try and encourage people to prepare food in the more traditional, slow manner — and avoid fast food.Her story greatly inspired me and I realized that eating healthily is very important. Since then, I’ve tried my best to avoid fast food. Now I seldom eat out, and when I do go out, I order only healthy food. Now I weigh just 130 pounds.参考答案听力：1-5 BCBCB 6-10 ABACC 11-15 ACBCA 16-20 CBACB阅读理解:21-25 CACBC 26-30 BDCCD 31-35 ADBAA 36-40 GDECB完形填空：41-45 BDBCB 46-50 ADCAD 51-55 BCABA 56-60 DBDBA语法填空：61. running 62. at 63. a 64. it 65. until/till66. was touched 67. confident 68. gave 69. smiles 70. successfully短文改错：Yesterday was my the 18th birthday.

Goby has the answer. This app pinpoints the neighborhood hot spots (including museums, hotels, eateries, and more) in your neighborhood.

Where are the readers likely to read the passage above?A. In a geography textbookB. In a science and technology magazineC. On a popular websiteD. In a business report【答案】21D22C23CBBorn in the State of New York on May 14th, 1984, Mark Zuckerberg was an instant success.In his high school years, he was considered one of top students in the classics, before moving into the arts, sciences, and literature, again picking up high marks and receiving academic praise. It earned him admission to Harvard University.As a rebellious yet relatively quiet student, he created a website called Facemash in the university– an instantly controversial website that encouraged students to rate each other based on appearance.The site was controversial for several reasons. The first was its illegal use of photographs, which the university and students took issue with. The second was its controversial nature – not every student like being ranked based on their appearance. The third was its huge resource use –while it was hosted on Harvard servers, it was the most popular page in the university’s entire network.Zuckerberg was soon forced to shut the site down, but its popularity and controversy had made him consider its future potential. He soon turned the simple site into a personal one for Harvard students, encouraging them to network with their peers at the college. It was then, together with his two friends, that they launched “The Facebook”, which immediat ely spread to other colleges and grew into a public service that anyone could access in the United States, whether to network with friends and family, or to play games.The company has been criticized frequently, nevertheless, Zuckerberg has remained true to his initial vision – to create a website that the entire world can use to communicate openly and easily with one another and to keep the user experience clean and pure. The end result is one of the world’s biggest online businesses.Although its true value is debatable, it’s safe to say that Facebook, and its creator Mark Zuckerberg, are two of the twenty-first century’s most influential, controversial, and potentially powerful figures.24. When Mark Zuckerberg was a student, he_____________________.A. was often praised by teachers for the website he createdB. had good academic performanceC. alone created a website called FacebookD. encouraged students to set up business like him25. The reason why Zuckerberg shut the site down was probably that__________.A. his website was not popularB. he was doubted for the way he used photographsC. he needed time to reconsider his choiceD. he stole resource on Harvard server26. Which words can best describe Zuckerberg?A. easy-going and smart.B. quiet and shy.C. talented and outgoing.D. rebellious and creative.27. The best title of the passage should be________________.A. Mark Zuckerberg and his FacebookB. The Foundation of FacebookC. A Talent from Harvard UniversityD. The Development of Facebook【答案】24B25B26D27ACHave you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child – a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast from the past,” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those yearsago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh’s website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”28. The “song” men tioned in the first paragraph is intended to__________.A. recall the pastB. attract the readersC. introduce the topicD. compare the childhood with the present29. According to the passage which language doesn’t share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?A. HungarianB. SpanishC. ItalianD. English30. Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that __________A. singing is the best way to learn a language.B. the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words.C. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner.D. Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other.31. In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?A. A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.B. A child is going to have his first music lesson.C. A student is going to learn a new English song.D. An American is going to learn some Chinese.【答案】28C29A30B31D【解析】试题分析: 本文主要讲述了一项关于音乐和外语习得之间关系的研究。

In his high school years, he was considered one of top students in the classics, before moving into the arts, sciences, and literature, again picking up high marks and receiving academic praise. It earned him admission to Harvard University.As a rebellious yet relatively quiet student, he created a website called Facemash in the university– an instantly controversial website that encouraged students to rate each other based on appearance.The site was controversial for several reasons. The first was its illegal use of photographs, which the university and students took issue with. The second was its controversial nature –not every student like being ranked based on their appearance. The third was its huge resource use – while it was hosted on Harvard servers, it was the most popular page in the university’s entire network.Zuckerberg was soon forced to shut the site down, but its popularity and controversy had made him consider its future potential. He soon turned the simple site into a personal one for Harvard students, encouraging them to network with their peers at the college. It was then, together with his two friends, that they launched “The Facebook”, which immediately spread to other colleges and grew into a public service that anyone could access in the United States, whether to network with friends and family, or to play games.The company has been criticized frequently, nevertheless, Zuckerberg has remained true tohis initial vision – to create a website that the entire world can use to communicate openly and easily with one another and to keep the user experience clean and pure. The end result is one of the world’s biggest online businesses.Although its true value is debatable, it’s safe to say that Facebo ok, and its creator Mark Zuckerberg, are two of the twenty-first century’s most influential, controversial, and potentially powerful figures.4．When Mark Zuckerberg was a student, he_____________________.A．was often praised by teachers for the website he createdB．had good academic performanceC．alone created a website called FacebookD．encouraged students to set up business like him5．The reason why Zuckerberg shut the site down was probably that__________.A．his website was not popularB．he was doubted for the way he used photographsC．he needed time to reconsider his choiceD．he stole resource on Harvard server6．Which words can best describe Zuckerberg?A．easy-going and smart.B．quiet and shy.C．talented and outgoing.D．rebellious and creative.7．The best title of the passage should be________________.A．Mark Zuckerberg and his FacebookB．The Foundation of FacebookC．A Talent from Harvard UniversityD．The Development of FacebookHave you ever found yourself in this situation：You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child-a bit of nostalgia（怀旧）or "blast from the past，"as we say．But it is not a distant childhood memory．The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago．Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music andremembering a foreign language．They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages．Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20．Then they gave the groups three different types of "listen-and-repeat" learning conditions．Researchers had one group simply speak the words．They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm，or beat．And they asked the third group to sing the words．All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15minutes．Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered．Why Hungarian，you ask ? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language．It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages，such as Italian or Spanish．After the tests were over，the singers came out on top．The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance．They did the best in four out of five of the tests．They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them．Dr．Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language．The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3，or memorable 4，tune 5．Dr．Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages．On the University of Edinburgh's website Dr．Ludke writes，"This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning，and opens the door for future research in this area．" 8．The"song"mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to________________.A．recall the past B．attract the readersC．introduce the topic D．compare the childhood with the present 9．According to the passage which language doesn't share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?A．Hungarian B．SpanishC．Italian D．English10．Based on the last two paragraphs，we can conclude thatA．singing is the best way to learn a language．B．the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words．C．a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner．D．Dr．Katie Overy and Dr．Ludke disagree with each other．11．In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?A．A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak．B．A child is going to have his first music lesson．C．A student is going to learn a new English song．D．An American is going to learn some Chinese．“Walt Disney World is banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks because selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast." Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said.Under a new polic y, which takes effect Tuesday, the poles won’t make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also won't be allowed in Disney World water parks or Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. Selfie-sticks will also become forbidden at Disneyland Resort in California on June 30. The prohibition begins at Disney's parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1.Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks' entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them. Visitors will be told of the policy in locations such as the parking lots and at the resort's hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rules post on Disney World's website.The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, the sticks were prohibited from its rides, and "no selfie-sticks" signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given oral warnings to rule breakers.Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing theme-park moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned in public places – including some museums and stadiums – worldwide obstructing views or causing safety issues.Disney World already prohibits items such as skateboards, inline skates, wagon, folding chairs and glass containers, according to its official website, which also lists “oth er items that we determine may be harmful.”Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks and other loose items from certain thrill rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, but it has not set parkwide bans.12．Which of the following objects has already been banned in Disney theme parks before the new policy takes effect?A．smart phones.

AChina is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors----silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.21. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A. Because they are traditional and safe.B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.C. Because they are colorful and available.D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.22. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ______________.A. to ride it for funB. to use it for transportC. to experience local skillsD. to improve his riding skills23. How did the author feel about his street crossing?A. It was boring.B. It was difficult.C. It was lively.D. It was wonderful.24. Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C. The author was praised by the other bikers.D. The author took great pleasure in biking.BGoing green seems to be fad(时尚)for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My life and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic(有机的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.25. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Going Green.B. Protecting the Planet.C. Keeping Open-MindedD. Celebrating Our Green Year.26. It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because_________.A. they were expected to follow the green fadB. they didn’t know how to educate other peopleC. they were unwilling to reduce their energyD. they needed to perform unusual green tasks27. What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?A. They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.B. They ignore other s’ ungreen behavior.C. They chose better chemical cleaners.D. They sold their home-made food.28. What can we infer form the last paragraph?A. The government will give support to the green people.B. The couple may continue their project in the future.C. Some people disagree with the couple’s green ideas.D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.CHere is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can’t make us tired.It sounds absurd. But a years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists, J.A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.”Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated---those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.29. What surprised the scientists a few years ago?A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood.B. Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn out after a day’s work.C. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.D. A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins.30. According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?A. Challenging mental work.B. Unpleasant emotions.C. Endless tasks.D. Physical labor.31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ idea?A. He agrees with them.B. He doubts them.C. He argues against them.D. He hesitates to accept them.32. We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to ___________.A. have some good foodB. enjoy their workC. exercise regularlyD. discover fatigue toxinsD“In deed,” George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “some kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.” But the father of America was not the father of bug. When Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already created lightning-bug(萤火虫). But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-shaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install an alarm”. Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others’ conversation. Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant “to cheat”, and since the 1940s it has been annoying.We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties”that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering ‘a bug’ in his invented record player.”33. We learn from Paragraph 1 that __________________.A.Americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bugB.George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bugC.the word bug was still popularly used in English in the nineteenth centuryD.both Englishman and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century34. What does the word “flaw” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Explanation.B. Finding.C. Origin.D. Fault.35. The passage is mainly concerned with__________________.A. the misunderstanding of the word bugB. the development of the word bugC. the public views of the word bugD. the special characteristics of the word bug第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AFor the past two years, 8-year-old Harli Jordean from Stoke Newington, London, has been selling marbles(弹珠). His successful marble company, Marble King, sells all things marble-related － from affordable tubs of the glass playthings to significantly expensive items like Duke of York solitaire tables － sourced, purchased and processed by the mini-CEO himself.“I like having my own company. I like being the boss,” Harli told the Mirror.With profits now in the thousands, “the world’s youngest CEO” has had to get his mother and older brothers to help him meet the growing demand.Harli launched Marble King after swapping marbles at school led to schoolchildren consuming his marble collection. Yes, he literally “lost his marbles.” Harli and his mother, Tina, turned to the Internet to find replacements.Harli saw an empty space online: the marbles he wanted were hard to find. Within months, Harli had his own marble-selling website － and orders started pouring in.Tina says her son's attachment to marbles started when he was just 6.“His attachment became so passionate that we started calling him the Marble King —so when he wanted to set up a website it was the natural name for it,” she told The Sun.“I never thought it would become so popular － we are struggling to cope with the number of orders at times.”The 8-year-old boy has his sights set on expanding his business and launching his own brand of marbles.“Sometimes his ideas are so grand we have to scale them back a bit. But his dream is still to own Britain's biggest marble shop and open stores around the world,” Tina told The Daily Mail.“At the moment he is annoying me by creating his own Marble King marbles － so that could well be the next step for him.”21.Harli’s Marble Company became popular as soon as he launched it because ______.A. it was run by “the world’s youngest CEO”B. it filled the gap of online marble tradeC. Harli was fascinated with marble collectionD. Harli met the growing demand of the customers22. How many mass media are mentioned in the passage?A. OneB. TwoC. ThreeD. Four23. The underlined expression “scale them back” is closest in meaning to ______.A. hold them downB. carry them outC. set them asideD. clear them away24. What message do the last two paragraphs carry?A. Conflicts often occur between Harli Jordean and his family.B. Harli’s mother and brothers are worried about Marble King’s future.C. Marble King marbles will surely attract more fans around the world.D. The “Marble King” has great ambition for his Marble King company.BI must have been about fourteen then, and I put away the incident from my mind with the easy carelessness of youth．But the words, which Carl Walter spoke that day, came back to me years later, and ever since have been of great value to me．Carl Waller was my piano teacher．During one of my lessons he asked how much practice I was doing．I said three or four hours a day．"Do you often practice so long at a time?" asked my teacher．"I try to," I answered．Well, don' t," he said．“When you grow up, time won' t come in long periods．Practice in minutes whenever you can find them, five or ten before school, after lunch, or between household tasks．Spread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will become a part of your life．"When I was teaching at Columbia, I wanted to write, but class periods, theme-reading and committee meetings filled my days and evenings．For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time．Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said．During the next week I conducted an experiment．Whenever I had five minutes to spare, I would sit down and write a hundred words or so．To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript （手稿） ready for revision, later on I wrote novels by the same means．Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, every day there were free moments which could be caught and put to use．I even took up piano-playing again, finding that the small intervals of the day provided enough time for both writing and piano practice．There is an important trick in this time-using formula; you must get into your work quickly．If you have only five minutes for writing, you can't afford to waste four minutes chewing your pencil．You must make your mental preparations ahead of time, and focus on your task almost immediately when the time comes．Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize．I admit I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes．But life can be counted on to supply interruptions （中断时间）．Carl Walter has had a great influence on my life．To him, I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need, if I begin without delay．25．Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A．Concentrate on Your Work B．A Little at a TimeC．How I Became a Writer D．My Teacher' s Advice26．Which of the following statements is true?A．The writer owes great thanks to his teacher for teaching him to work in long periods．B．Carl Walter has had a great influence on the writer' s life since he became a student．C．The writer didn't take the teacher' s words to heart at first．D．Rapid concentration is actually more difficult than most people imagine．27．The underlined part "counted on" in the last paragraph can be replaced by "____"．A．enriched B．concentrated C.valued D．expected28．We can infer from the passage that the author ____．A．has new books published each year however busy his teaching isB．is always tired of interruptions in life because his teaching schedule is always heavy C．has got into the bad habit of chewing a pencil while writing his novelsD．is devoted to work immediately because he can find enough time for preparationsCIt was Molly’s job to hand her father his brown paper lunch bag each morning before he headed off to work．One morning, in addition to his usual lunch bag, Molly handed him a second paper bag．This one was worn and held together with staples （订书钉）。

AI clearly remember the day when my little brother was born: January 1, 1994. One of my favorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but un- aware of the small, sleeping baby in the background.I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brother’s birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didn’t truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at DukeUniversity----coincidentally (碰巧地), the same room in which I had been born two years earlier.When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did know that small, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world.In reality, though I am two years older than my brother, I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it comes to common sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone.That’s where Gibson comes in. The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit, but he never complains. Though I should probably be told to figure it out myself, he always comes through.I’m envious of his ability to readily answer the ever-present, “What do you want to do with your life?” question at family gatherings. “Be a doctor,” he says----a solid answer, completely opposite to my shaky one, “Well, I’m an English major, so...”My brother truly is my best friend. No one understands me better, and there isn’t anyone else I would want to be stuck with in our family. I may not have a clear idea of where I’m headed, but he is stuck with me.21. How did the author feel when he saw his brother for the first time?A. Angry and sad.B. Excited and moved.C. Curious and scared.D. Happy and interested.22. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?A. My brother is the real baby in the family.B. In fact, I seem to be less mature than my little brother.C. My brother gets more love from the family than I do.D. I am growing more slowly than my brother.23. What does the brother often help the author do?A. Help him deal with many daily tasks.B. Help him with his studies.C. Give him advice on how to choose a major.D. Comfort him when he is in a bad mood.24. What is the best title for this text?A. My Strange Family GatheringsB. The Real Baby in the FamilyC. Stuck with Me----My Not-So-Little Little BrotherD. The Feeling of Having a BrotherBCan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried th at they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of suc cess. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. On e reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘dog’ and dogs can learn how to talk ‘Cat’.What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other's body signals, suggesting that thetwo may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets ─ to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.25. Some cats and dogs may fight when ________.A. they misunderstood each other's signalsB. they look away from each otherC. they are cold to each otherD. they are introduced at an early age26. What is found surprising about cats and dogs?A. They eat and sleep each other.B. They learn to speak each other's language.C. They observe each other's behaviors.D. They know something from each other's voices.27. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.A. have common interestsB. have a common body languageC. are less different than was thoughtD. are less intelligent than was expected28. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. We should live in peace with animals.B. We should know more about animals.C. We should learn to live in harmony.D. We should learn more body languages.CLost wallets which contain a picture of a baby are more likely to be returned to their owners, scientists have discovered.Researchers left 240 wallets on the streets of Edinburgh last year to see how many were returned to their owners. Some of the wallets contained one of four photographs—a baby, a cute little dog, a family and a portrait of an elderly couple. Other wallets contained a card suggesting the owner had recently made a charity donation, while a control sample(对照组) contained nothing at all.Professor Richard Wiseman, a psychologist who was in charge of the experiment, said 42 percent of the wallets were posted back in total. Those containing the picture of the infant, or the baby were most likely to bring about an honest reaction from the finder, with 88 percent being returned, followed by those containing pictures of the little dog at 53 percent. Of those featuring the family snapshot, 48 percent were sent to the return address and only 28 percent of those with the picture of the elderly couple. Wallets containing the charity cards and the control sample were least likely to be returned, with rates of 20 and 15 percent.Prof Wiseman, of the University of Hertfordshire, said, “The baby kicked off a caring feeling in people, which is not surprising from an evolutionary perspective(角度). We were amazed by the high percentage of wallets that came back.”The wallets were planted at random about a q uarter of a mile apart. Snapshots were inserted into a clear plastic window inside the wallets, none o f which contained money.29. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Researchers left 240 wallets on the streets of Edinburgh last year.B. Professor Richard Wiseman carried out an experiment with 240 wallets.C. Lost wallets containing a picture of a baby are more likely to be returned.D. Wallets with contain nothing are mostly returned to their owners.30. The passage is made believable by .A. tel ling storiesB. using figuresC. asking questionsD. giving examples31. The underlined phrase “kicked off” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “.”A. causedB. showedC. avoidedD. accepted32. It can be inferred that .A. people who returned the wallets are interested in psychologyB. dogs are more respected in western countries than the elderlyC. Professor Wiseman had expected the result before the experimentD. the result of the experiment can be different if wallets contain moneyDThe UK remains one of Chinese students’ top three destination for studying abroad. 58,810 Chinese undergraduates started studying in Britain in January 2015.

I spoke to the GPS: “We don’t want to be here; we want the highway.” It instructed me to turn right once more. With every turn, the street narrowed. It was like being in a magical shrinking room. We drew the side mirrors back. We took another turn. The new road was even narrower, the walls so close you feel hard to hold your breath.Another car appeared, coming towards us from the opposite direction. The driver gestured, telling me I’ll have to make way. But how? I didn’t have the nerve to back up alongthe impossibly narrow road. Locals appeared. Soon there was a whole group, using sign language to suggest a solution. There was a narrow garage opening to one side. If I could squeeze the car forward into the garage, I could then, through a series of tiny adjustments, back into the side street, allowing the other car to pass.More locals arrived, standing on various sides of the vehicle, helpfully indicating that I have a centimetre to spare here, a millimetre there. There were brick walls on all 17 sides of the car. There was zero chance that I won’t damage the vehicle. This was significant since, a day earlier, at the Europcar counter, I had refused the additional insurance.One lady stood at the rear of the vehicle, waving me on. She was making strong “this way, this way” movements with her arms. In an act of blind trust, I followed her instructions, creeping backwards and forwards. Remarkably it worked. I completed my 27-point turn into the side street, with no damage to the vehicle. The other car passed. The driver gave me a grateful wave. The locals applauded happily “Hero! Hero!” I followed her lead, down the narrow lane and—finally—back onto the highway. Free of the town, I clearly knew that I encountered heroes.4．What happened to the author on the holiday back home?A．His GPS navigation system broke down.B．He had something wrong with directions. C．He lost the whole control of his car.D．He accidentally turned into a narrow road.5．Which of the following can best describe the locals?A．Energetic and brave.B．Confident and creative.C．Friendly and helpful.D．Ambitious and thoughtful.6．Why did the author fear to hurt his car?A．Because he borrowed it.B．Because he rented it.C．Because he was ashamed of losing face.D．Because he hadn’t got the required insurance.7．What do we know about the author from the last paragraph?A．He was questioned by the locals.B．He knew the local women very well. C．He was greatly grateful to the locals.D．He finally made it under the instruction of his wife.Neck pain is a widespread complaint in the information age, with many more of usspending a great deal of time glued to a computer, tablet or phone, or sitting in front of the TV. It’s also a common disease of aging, due to increasing wear and tear on the spine’s (脊椎) joints and tissues. At any given time, an estimated 39 percent of people over 65 have discomfort in their necks. Assuming an injury or potential disease isn’t causing the condition, here are some tips from some experts for managing the discomfort, as well as the best stiff (僵硬) neck remedies.Sleep off a stiff neck. If you’re looking for stiff neck relief, getting a good night’s sleep — which represents roughly a third of your day — is a good place to start. Choose a relatively firm mattress (床垫) and use only enough pillows to keep your head level with the rest of your body — one is usually sufficient. For sleep that is even more neck-friendly, try lying on your back with pillow support under your knees. This will flatten and relax your spinal muscles.When it comes to computer use, make sure the monitor is at arm’s length and eye level. Laptops have poor posture built into their designs: if the keyboard is near enough to be comfortable, then the screen is too close, and if the screen is positioned correctly, the keyboard is too far away, forcing you to bend forward. You can solve this problem by placing the device on a bunch of large books or a laptop stand and using a separate keyboard and mouse.There is evidence to suggest home exercises may be effective against short-term neck discomfort (lasting for 12 weeks or less). “There are many possible reasons for neck pain, including stress, poor posture and organ aging,” explains Dr Michael Westaway, a musculoskeletal clinical specialist. “Treatment is often varied and may include an exercise program. For severe cases, there are painkillers, injections and surgery. However, resist the urge to immediately take aggressive measures, since simpler steps will often ease this everyday pain,” Michael Westaway warned.8．Why do people suffer more from neck pain in the information age?A．Various stresses from work.B．More access to the digital facility C．Poor diets and unhealthy eating habits.D．Higher cost of going to see the doctor. 9．What may benefit your neck while sleeping?A．More pillows to support your head.B．Less than 1/3 of your day for sleeping every day.C．Sleeping on your back with pillows under the knees.D．Selecting a relatively soft and comfortable mattress.10．What does the unlined word “posture” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Applications.B．Technologies.C．Position of the body.D．Size of the laptops or computers.11．What may Michael Westaway agree with?A．Physical exercises every day is the only way for the neck suffering.B．Painkiller is the immediate solution to neck pain.C．There’s no cure for severe neck pain sufferers.D．Simple steps of neck exercises really works.A Pittsburgh-based robotics and engineering startup recently promoted Moonwalkers, a pair of battery-powered shoes that it claims can boost walk speeds by up to 250%.Although they may look like just another set of electric roller skates, the Moonwalkers are actually a bit different. You walk as you’re wearing them the way you would regular shoes or sneakers, letting the motorized wheels put a spring in your step. Powered by astate-of-the-art brushless DC motor, this smart appliance is actually a platform that can be attached to a wide variety of footwear to significantly increase your walking speed up to a reported 7mph/11kph. For comparison, humans’ average walking speed ranges from 2. 5. to 4 mph.As the wearer walks, a 300W brushless motor in each 4. 2-lb(1. 9-kg)Moonwalker spins up the device’s eight polyurethane(聚氨基甲酸乙酯)wheels, providing a sense of like walking on a “moving sidewalk” in an airport. There is also an Al-powered gearbox(变速箱)that increases or decreases speed according to data regarding the wearer’s walk collected by a series of sensors. The shoes are also able to detect downhill movement to prevent accidents.“Moonwalkers are not skates. They’re shoes. The world’s fastest shoes actually,” Xunjie Zang, founder and CEO of Shift Robotics said. “You don’t skate in them. You walk. You don’t have to learn how to use them, the shoes learn from you.”But do the world’s fastest shoes work on uneven place, or things like stairs? We all know how tricky those are to walk in rollerskates. Well, apparently the designers took that into consideration and created a part that allows the wearer to lock the wheels so that they can walk up or down stairs as they would in regular footwear. Just using simple foot movements,it’s possible to switch between Shift and Lock modes. In Shift, the wheels are free to spin as the user walks. In Lock, however, they remain locked in place. This means that the user can do things like climbing stairs or even just standing in one place, without worrying about their feet rolling out from underneath them.12．What function is expected of Moonwalkers?A．To walk on the moon more safely.B．To accelerate the walking speed. C．To make wearers skate automatically.D．To provide wearers with timely warning 13．What does Xunjie Zang think of Moonwalkers?A．Smart.B．Demanding.C．Costly.D．Risky. 14．Why does the author ask a question first in paragraph 5?A．To explain a rule clearly.B．To further present a fact.C．To clarify a fashion concept.D．To make a sound prediction. 15．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．Moonwalks Are On Sale B．The World’s Fastest Walking Shoes C．The World’s Most Advanced Robotic Company D．New Rollerskates Come into Existence二、七选五How to Stop Being Angry?Anger is the most harmful emotion. When you are in a temper, you make rush orill-considered decisions that you will probably regret. You will also regret terrible language spoken without thought. Anger arrives quickly, in response to an event, action, or wrong remarks.____16____You might feel long-burning anger that ruins your spirit, destroys all your good intentions, and causes you to become an unpleasant person. Here are some ways that you can help you better handle anger.Firstly, you need to change your attitude to the way the world works. No one is perfect.

2019届河南三门峡陕州中学高三下学期尖子生专题训练英语试卷【含答案及解析】

2019届河南三门峡陕州中学高三下学期尖子生专题训练英语试卷【含答案及解析】姓名___________ 班级____________ 分数__________一、阅读理解1. Picture the scene: You come home after work feeling too exhausted to cook –only to find a delicious meal worthyof a Michelin-starred restaurant waiting for you. It sounds like a fantasy, but it could be about to come truethanks to a robot chef developed by British scientists.Those scientists have come up with a set of robotic arms so smart that they are capable of cooking meals all by themselves. The device will be sold from as early as 2017 as part of a purpose-built high-tech kitchen.Scientists at Moley Robotics spent almost 18 years developing the hands. According to its creators, the arms can chop, stir, whisk and baste well enough to recreate almostanything you would care to eat, whether it is a simple home-cooked supper, or a complicated creation designed by a world-class chef. The hands move a little slowly, hovering strangely above the work surface whenever they are not busy, but they imitate human movements closely enough that theycan do things such as wiping a spoon on the edge of a pan to prevent drips.Mr . Oleynik, who is leading the project, said, “All the things which are possible with the hand are possible here. There is no limitation. A lot of people want to go to Michelin-starred restaurants, but they are quite expensive and may be quite far from the home. This is an opportunityfor people to enjoy very good food, and for a reasonable price. ”The only cuisine that is off the robot’s menu at the moment is sushi, which requires extremely steady pressure and nimble fingers to make, but the teamplan to conquer that as well by the time it goes on sale.1.People go to Michelin-starred restaurants in order to______.A. appreciate car tires.___________________________________B. escape from workC. see the new robot chefsD. enjoy delicious meals2. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. British scientists______________________________B. HouseholdwivesC. Cooks at restaurants ________D. The robot chef’s arms3. Which kind of food CAN’T the robot chef cook at present?A. SushiB. BeefC. BreadD. Sandwich4. What can we infer from the passage?A. Hands of a robot chef can perform exactly like a cook.B. It is uncertain when the robot can cook all kinds of food.C. Michelin-starred restaurants are suitable for many people.D. Robot chefs are available at shopping malls.2. About five years ago, an American electrical engineer named Scott Brusaw and his wife Julie came up with the idea of putting solar panels on the ground rather than the roof. Then they began to develop the Solar Roadway. The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun while providing saferdriving conditions, along with power and data delivery. They predict that the Solar Roadway will pay for itself through the generation of electricity along with other forms ofincome and that the same money that is being used tobuild and resurface current roads can be used to build the Solar Roadways.Each Solar Road Panel measures roughly 4 meters by 4meters and contains a microprocessor (微处理器) that monitors and controls the panel, while communicating with neighboring panels and the vehicles traveling overhead. The inventors suggest that this provides a communications device every 4 meters on every road which could be used for example towarn drivers of cars which are moving across a centre line and various other speed control problems. The top of the Solar Road panels is made of super-strong glass that would offer vehicles the tractions (抓地力) they need.According to the inventors, the Solar Roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricity and therefore electric vehicles can be recharged at any conveniently located rest stop, or at any business that has paved Solar Road Panels in their parking lots.The inventors say their Solar Roadway has many functions and advantages from main roads to driveways, parking lots, bike paths, sidewalks and runways. The Federal Highway Administration has given Brusaw $100,000 to develop the invention and Brusaw hopes to build a smart-road parking lot in the coming spring .1. In the inventors’ opinion, the Solar Roadway _____.A. is too expensive to build at presentB. costs no more money than current roadsC. can provide as many data as present computersD. will bring them a large sum of money2. It can be inferred from the text that _____.A. the Solar Roadway has already been put into useB. $100,000 is only enough to build a smart-road parkinglotC. the Solar Roadway is not available for gas-powered carsD. future electric vehicles can be charged anytime and anywhere3. What can be the best title for the text?A. Solar-powered smart road of the futureB. The great changes on the roadwayC. The influence the Solar Roadway has on peopleD. The Solar Road — a much faster road3. A tender woman, or an independent one, which one would you prefer? A recent research shows that most people would choose the latter.This type of woman is called a nühanzi (“tough woman”). Experts believe these characteristics have social and psychological roots among young females in China. Su Hao’s friends all call her a tough woman, because she can finish tough tasks usually carried out by men. For example, shecarries 10-litre water to her dormitory on the 5th floor.“I depend on no one but myself,” she says.According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, tough women have become rather common in society. Of the 21,265 respondents, 78.5 percent said they are familiar with atough woman. About 50 percent said they like women with tough characteristics, while less than 29 percent expressedthe opposite view.Why are tough women gaining popularity? Shen Meng, a psychological consultant, believes the fierce competition in society is c ontributing to this trend. “Women are often in a disadvantaged position compared to men,” Shen says. “In order to survive, they have to be independent, strong and tough.” Liu Xiaolin, professor of psychology at Wuhan Mental Health Center, believes tough women are brought up this way. They are often on close relationship with their fathers, who teach their daughters to be brave and de cisive,” he says. As a result, these women are more likely to be psychologically healthy and more tolerant to stress, according to Liu.Though Liu believes that this is a good trend, Hu Shenzhi, a psychologist at the Guangdong Sunflower Counseling Center, says the popularity of tough woman indicates an unclear line between gender identities, which can lead to relationship problems. “Some women with characteristics that differ from the traditional female image may have a difficult time finding Mr Right,” he says. “Even if they get married, their manly characteristics might cause family conflicts.1. Which of the followings doesn’t belong to the characteristics of a tough woman?A. She is independent of others in daily life.B. She can solve problems usually for men.C. She is more tolerant to stress.D. She is soft and tender to others.2. How many respondents like tough women?A. about 21,265.B. about 16,700C. about 10,600.D. about 6,2003. Why are there more tough women nowadays?A. Because tough women are more lovely.B. Because of the fierce competition in society.C. Because girls often love fathers more.D. Because more women want to be independent.4. What problems may tough women have in their life?A. They may have difficulty with marriage.B. They often suffer gender confusion.C. It’s difficu lt for them to be friends.D. They have different characteristics f ro m traditionalfemale images.4. Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were outin our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I couldtake one of my children out alone,” said Christie.Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one ofher children out, I’ll watch her other three. And whenshe watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children asked her tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised whenmy daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s alwaysa follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with eachchild ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain.Every child deserves to be an only child at least once in a while.1.What is the text mainly about?A. The happy life of two families.B. The experience of the only child being with mother.C. The advantage of spending time with one child at a timeD. The basic needs of children.2. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.A. happyB. curiousC. regretfulD. friendly3. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?A. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.B. Sam holds her hand more often.C. The daughter acts like a leader.D. The boys become better followers.4. The author seems to believe that ___________.A. having brothers and sisters is funB. parents should watch others’ childrenC. it’s tiring to look after three childrenD. every child needs parents’ full attention二、七选五5. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The first car was invented not by a German, but by an American. His name was Henry Ford. Henry was born in a poor family' He was the eldest of six children. When he was a boy, he became interested in mending watches and machines. When he was 12, his mother died. Soon he had to work in a machine shop for two dollars and fifty cents a week. The hard life made him strong and able. At that time there was another interest in the life of the young Ford. He dreamed to make a machine that could run with out a horse. So it was named "a horseless carriage". He overcame a lot of difficulties and in April, 1893, the "horseless carriage" was finally finished, which was the first car. Later Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company. He was really the first inventor of the car in the world.英语参考答案听力：1-5 CCABC 6-10 CBCAB 11-15 CACBA 16-20 CABBA阅读理解：21-23 BAB 24-27 DDCA 28-31 BCAD 32-35 BCDA 36-40 DEAGC完形填空：41-45 CBABA 46-50 DCCAB 51-55 ABACB 56-60 BCDDA语法填空：61. on/in 62. known 63. making 64. the 65. reasons 66. looks67. which 68. to sit 69. be sent 70. easily短文改错:Dear Peter,I’m writing to ask whether you are able to do me∧ favor.aI want to have a pen friend, hopefully a girl in the early twenties, and with interests similarly toher similarmine.

AI clearly remember the day when my little brother was born: January 1, 1994. One of my favorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but un- aware of the small, sleeping baby in the background.I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brother’s birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didn’t truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at DukeUniversity----coincidentally (碰巧地), the same room in which I had been born two years earlier.When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did know that small, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world.In reality, though I am two years older than my brother, I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it comes to common sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone.That’s where Gibson comes in. The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit, but he never complains. Though I should probably be told to figure it out myself, he always comes through.I’m envious of his ability to readily answer the ever-present, “What do you want to do with your life?” question at family gatherings. “Be a doctor,” he says----a solid answer, completely opposite to my shaky one, “Well, I’m an English major, so...”My brother truly is my best friend. No one understands me better, and there isn’t anyone else I would want to be stuck with in our family. I may not have a clear idea of where I’m headed, but he is stuck with me.21. How did the author feel when he saw his brother for the first time?A. Angry and sad.B. Excited and moved.C. Curious and scared.D. Happy and interested.22. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?A. My brother is the real baby in the family.B. In fact, I seem to be less mature than my little brother.C. My brother gets more love from the family than I do.D. I am growing more slowly than my brother.23. What does the brother often help the author do?A. Help him deal with many daily tasks.B. Help him with his studies.C. Give him advice on how to choose a major.D. Comfort him when he is in a bad mood.24. What is the best title for this text?A. My Strange Family GatheringsB. The Real Baby in the FamilyC. Stuck with Me----My Not-So-Little Little BrotherD. The Feeling of Having a BrotherBCan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried th at they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of suc cess. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. On e reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘dog’ and dogs can learn how to talk ‘Cat’.What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other's body signals, suggesting that thetwo may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets ─ to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.25. Some cats and dogs may fight when ________.A. they misunderstood each other's signalsB. they look away from each otherC. they are cold to each otherD. they are introduced at an early age26. What is found surprising about cats and dogs?A. They eat and sleep each other.B. They learn to speak each other's language.C. They observe each other's behaviors.D. They know something from each other's voices.27. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.A. have common interestsB. have a common body languageC. are less different than was thoughtD. are less intelligent than was expected28. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. We should live in peace with animals.B. We should know more about animals.C. We should learn to live in harmony.D. We should learn more body languages.CLost wallets which contain a picture of a baby are more likely to be returned to their owners, scientists have discovered.Researchers left 240 wallets on the streets of Edinburgh last year to see how many were returned to their owners. Some of the wallets contained one of four photographs—a baby, a cute little dog, a family and a portrait of an elderly couple. Other wallets contained a card suggesting the owner had recently made a charity donation, while a control sample(对照组) contained nothing at all.Professor Richard Wiseman, a psychologist who was in charge of the experiment, said 42 percent of the wallets were posted back in total. Those containing the picture of the infant, or the baby were most likely to bring about an honest reaction from the finder, with 88 percent being returned, followed by those containing pictures of the little dog at 53 percent. Of those featuring the family snapshot, 48 percent were sent to the return address and only 28 percent of those with the picture of the elderly couple. Wallets containing the charity cards and the control sample were least likely to be returned, with rates of 20 and 15 percent.Prof Wiseman, of the University of Hertfordshire, said, “The baby kicked off a caring feeling in people, which is not surprising from an evolutionary perspective(角度). We were amazed by th e high percentage of wallets that came back.”The wallets were planted at random about a q uarter of a mile apart. Snapshots were inserted into a clear plastic window inside the wallets, none o f which contained money.29. What’s the main idea of the passa ge?A. Researchers left 240 wallets on the streets of Edinburgh last year.B. Professor Richard Wiseman carried out an experiment with 240 wallets.C. Lost wallets containing a picture of a baby are more likely to be returned.D. Wallets with contain nothing are mostly returned to their owners.30. The passage is made believable by .A. tel ling storiesB. using figuresC. asking questionsD. giving examples31. The underlined phrase “kicked off” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “.”A. causedB. showedC. avoidedD. accepted32. It can be inferred that .A. people who returned the wallets are interested in psychologyB. dogs are more respected in western countries than the elderlyC. Professor Wiseman had expected the result before the experimentD. the result of the experiment can be different if wallets contain moneyDThe UK remains one of Chinese students’ top three destination for studying abroad. 58,810 Chinese undergraduates started studying in Britain in January 2015.
