2015年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(上海卷)III. Reading ComprehensionSection AIf you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect interest in romance among the artists. 51 , you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people’s earned to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 52 to people’s lives. The 53 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 54 . They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that 55 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.First ImpressionTo help determine the 56 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to 57 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.As it turned out, their 58 judgements often held true. Students seemed to 59 at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.The 60 KnowsScientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones — natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling 61 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 62 as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.Face ValueBeing fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 63 . The participants had 0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we 64 attractiveness seem to be somewhat automatic.When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to 65 words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.51. A. Instead B. Therefore C. Moreover D. Otherwise52. A. romantic B. stressful C. central D. artificial53.

IrritatingSection B(A)Look to many of history’s cultural symbols, and there you’ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in themovie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity’s earliest forms o f life art during several years of research around the world.For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion’s courtyard.The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing works called the Winter of Death. The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen—an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflection of people’s imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of defining freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don’t worry: I’ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of April, the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds. The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is lit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over—the quicker it is burnt down, the longer summer is said to be.66. According to the passage, why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages?A. People thought of snow as holy art supplies.B. People longed to see masterpieces of snow.C. Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.D. Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.67. “The heyday of the snowman” (paragraph 4) means the time when___________.A. snowmen were made mainly by artistsB. snowmen enjoyed great popularityC. snowmen were politically criticizedD. snowmen caused damaging floods68. In Zurich, the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes__________________.A. the start of the paradeB. the coming of a longer summerC. the passing of the winterD. the success of tradesmen69. What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage?A. They were appreciated in historyB. They have lost their valueC. They were related to moviesD. They vary in shape and size(B)The Curse of the Were-Rabbit(2005) is the first full-length featurefilm made by directors Nick Park and Steve Box with their amazingplasticine(2006, and if you watch it, you’ll understand why. It’s anbrilliant cartoon comedy.Cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his brainy dog Gromit havestarted a company to protect the town’s vegetables from hungryrabbits. However, just before the annual Giant VegetableCompetition, an enormous rabbit begins terrorising the town. It isattacking all the vegetables and destroying everything in its path.The competition organizer, Lady Tottington, hires Wallace andGromit to catch the monster alive. But they will have to find thewere-rabbit before gun-crazy hunter Victor Quartermaine who isdesperate to kill it.The screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes. As usual,the voice of Peter Sallis is absolutely perfect for the role of Wallace,and Gromit is so beautifully brought to life, he can express a hugerange of emotions without saying a word. And both HelenaBonham-Carter, who plays the part of Lady Tottington, and RalphFiennes as Victor are really funny.To sum up, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an amazing film whichis suitable for both children and adults.

It is about the harmony between man and animals.(C)One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the rol e of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. “Brutus was not an honorable man,” he said. “He was a traitor（叛徒）. And he murdered someone in cold blood.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him. He made a bad decision, they said—at least as it was presented by Shakespeare—to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superior. “You have to endeavor,” the executives said, “our policy is to obey the chain of command.”During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporateAmerica have been exploiting Shakespeare’s wisdom for profitable ends. None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called “Movers and Shakespeares”. They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, focusing on half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies.The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar , sly provocation（狡诈的挑唆）of Brutus to take up arms against the what was a basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organism.Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programmes, contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimizes his misuse of power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus, saying “the noblest Roman of them all” couldn’t make his mind up about things.Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that t hey felt related Caesar’s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving as a business when and how do you resist the boss?73. According to paragraph 1, what did all the executives think of Brutus?A. Cruel.B. Superior.C. Honorable.D. Bade74. According to the passage, the Adelmans set up “Movers and Shakespeares” to ________.A. help executives to understand Sha kespeare’s plays betterB. give advice on leadership by analyzing Shakespeare’s playsC. provide case studies of Shakespeare’s plays in literature workshopsD. guide government agencies to follow the characters in Shakespeare’s plays.75. Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V?A. To highlight the importance of catching opportunities.B. To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win.C. To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management.D. To warn executives against power misuse.76. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.A. the Adelmans’ programme proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized.B. executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespeare’s plays.C. the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars.D. Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field.77. The best title for the passage is _____.A. Shakespeare’s plays: Executives reconsider corporate cultureB. S hakespeare’s plays: An essential key to business successC. Shakespeare’s plays: a lesson for business motivationD. Shakespeare’s plays: Dramatic training brings dramatic resultsI.

高中 英语 Unit 26 Emotions
高中英语 Unit 26 Emotions（考试总分：100 分考试时间： 120 分钟）一、阅读理解（本题共计 10 小题，每题 10 分，共计100分）1、A cheetah (猎豹) can run 70 miles per hour. Blobfish (水滴鱼) don’t have any bones. These are facts I’ve learned from my 5-year-old son after he watched some networks, shows. He is greatly interested in scientific facts, so I was surprised the other day when I mentioned climate change.After a few more questions, I discovered that he’s never heard any of his favorite science shows mention climate change. It is strange, because climate change is one of the most important environmental issues of our time. My son can tell you everything you ever wanted to know about red pandas, except for the fact that their existence is being threatened by the changing climate.I reached out to PBS Kids, Nickelodeon, and Disney Junior to see if there was any truth to his claim. I was told that except an episode (一段情节) of Disney Junior’s Doc McStuffins called The Big Storm, none of the three networks’ shows has ever discussed the causes of climate change on our planet. Maybe you’re wondering if the reason is that kids’ science shows don’t ever tackle troubling environmental issues.Why aren’t these networks introducing kids to such an important issue? According to Maria, spokeswoman for PBS Kids, it’s because the network feels that focusing on foundational science concepts is the most age-appropriate way to serve our audience. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather my kid learn a little about the melting polar ice caps than other things.And kids can handle climate change. Even young children are able to understand the basic idea. More importantly, they’re able to begin taking action to slow down global warming. My guess is that the networks are afraid that promoting the science on a politically controversial (争议性的) issue will lead them to lose viewers or advertisers. But if that’s true, and they’re choosing their bottom line over the education of America’s children, that’s a real shame. Kids need to learn about the issue that threatens their plane t if they’re ever going to feel inspired to save it.28. Why did the author feel surprised at her son?A. He has known many scientific facts.B. He has watched a lot of network’s shows.C. He didn’t care about global warming.D. He knew nothing about climate change.29. The author watched the three networks’ shows in order to ______.A. get to know her son’s preferenceB. find the reason of her son’s ignoranceC. find the causes of climate changeD. help her son know environmental issues 30. What does the author think his son should do?A. Learn something about environmental issues.B. Help to slow down global warming.C. Discuss important issues with others.D. Learn to handle climate change.31. What is the purpose of the author’s writing this text?A. To advice kids not to watch networks’ shows.B. To introduce some politically controversial issues.C. To express his attitude towards some networks.D. To call on all Americans to care about kids’ education.2、Emma and Ryan, a married couple, were dr iving to a friend’s house when Emma turned to Ryan and asked, “Would you like to stop for lunch?”Ryan replied, “No, I’m not hungry yet,” and continued driving. Meanwhile, Emma sat quietly fuming (十分恼火) in the passenger seat. Ryan could not understand why Emma was unhappy. He had thought she was asking if he was hungry, but in reality, Emma was telling him that she was hungry and wanted to stop for lunch.Misunderstandings like this often occur between men and women, even among people from the same culture. Deborah Tannen, professor of linguistics at Georgetown University in the United States, has studied conversational rules.In Emma and Ryan’s situation, Emma was making a request in the form of a question. Her style of talking is common for women. She needed Ryan to agree they were both hungry. So, Emma asked Ryan what he wanted. She was really telling Ryan what she wanted; however, Ryan did not understand this. If he had been hungry, he would have said something more direct, such as, “I’m hungry. Let’s have lunch.”Tannen believes that most women grow up in a world where talk is used to express feelings. However, most men are raised differently and they tend to keep their feelings to themselves.Tannen says, for men, talk is often used as a situation used outside the home to gain respect, to entertain and get attention, or to exchange information. This is why men communicate by making each other laugh, or talking about sport and work. These men do not always feel it is necessary to talk to feel close or to express their feelings. Women, on the other hand, are encouraged to speak about their feelings since this is a way to build relationships.17. What can be inferred from Emma and Ryan’s story?A. Emma didn’t like Ryan.B. Ryan didn’t want to talk to Emma.C. Ryan didn’t want to eat with Emma.D. Emma wasn’t pleased with Ryan’s answer.18. According to Deborah Tannen, what causes the misunderstanding?A. Different cultures.B. Different characteristics.C. Different ways of communicating.D. Different educational background.19. Compared with women, men ______.A. talk less about feelingsB. communicate more with othersC. are more likely to become angryD. are better at building relationships20. What might be the best title for the text?A. Why women like to express feelingsB. How men and women communicateC. Different ways of supporting a childD. Misunderstandings in social communication3、During the holiday season, many of us feel pressure to find our loved ones the “perfect” gift. W hy? Because gift-giving has long been considered a prime way to express love. However, recent research suggests that small acts of kindness, like a kind word, hugging a child or receiving sympathy, make people feel most loved and supported.In the study, 495 men and women between the ages of 18 and 93 completed a questionnaire evaluating 60 possible ways that people can feel love. The storyboards included situations like spending time with friends, receiving gifts, and spending time in nature. The survey also included negative interactions, like being controlled and criticized (批评) by others.The findings highlight the psychological benefits that close relationships can offer. In fact, study participants ranked human interaction as a more significant expression of love than receiving material items, like presents. Connecting with others was also rated more highly than getting positive feedback on the Internet, indicating that people get the most support from personal human contact.“During the holidays，anxiety rises, making it harder to remain present with ourselves and others. However, the power of spending time with another person is a gift we can give at any moment,” says Dr. Carla Naumburg, a mindfulness coach and social worker in Newton, Mass. He suggests balancing party planning and online shopping with moments of human connection. Activities like reading to a child, meeting a friend for a walk, or taking a moment to call a family member, are ways to express love and care and can keep us emotionally grounded.While the idea of offering loved ones the gift of our time may pale in comparison to giving them a generous present, recent research shows shared human experiences can tighten social bonds. Despite personality differences，most people agree on what makes us feel loved—the presence of our loved ones.16. What does the text mainly focus on?A. Gift and holiday economy.B. Social and personal relationships.C. Stress and human progress.D. Selfish and generous love.17. What can we know about the questionaire?A. About 500 men participated in it.B. Participants disliked negative interactions.C. A wide range of age groups got involved.D. Participants had limited ways to feel love.18. What does Dr. Carla Naumburg intend to tell us?A. People often find it difficult to stay with others.B. Face to face connection is a gift to show love.C. Reading to a child is the best way to convey love and care.D. Balancing holiday activities with relaxation is recommended.19. What might be the best title of the text?A. Gift-giving is already out of date.B. Social interaction lights up your holidays.C. It is not presents but presence that counts.D. Stress causes people to withdraw from others.4、Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else-there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased (停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind. “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.”To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.47. Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?A. Wealth results from honest effort.B. The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.C. For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda.D. The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.48. The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means ______.A. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your faceB. No pains, no gainsC. Failure is the mother of successD. Bread comes from the sweat on your face49. We learn from the passage that the author ______.A. was a wealthy person in the communityB. held a positive attitude towards an active lifeC. was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)D. kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed50. What is implied in the passage by the writer?A. To use wealth properly, cat, drink and be merry.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.D. If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.5、Both of my parents worked full-time when I was a little girl, so my grandmother would stay at our house during the day. We would watch game shows in the living room. Our favorite was The Price is Right. We would call out our answers along with the contestants.When I got older and started going to school, we couldn’t watch our game shows regularly. That was okay with me, though, because the one thing I liked better than watching game shows with my grandmother was helping her bake. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing: she never seemed to need the recipes but everything she made tasted delicious.At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch, even though I didn’t understand what she was doing. As I got older, she let me help with the easy parts, such as measuring the sugar. The day she let me separate the eggs，I felt like I had found complete pleasure.At last, my parents decided that I could take care of myself，and my grandmother stopped coming over every day. The love of baking, however, stayed with me. I started baking by myself, and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes, more often they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes, and whenever I got to a thorny part, I would call my grandmother for advice. Sometimes I would call her just to talk, too. I felt like I could talk to her about anything.My grandmother passed away ten years ago, but I still think of her every day. Last week, I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies, cookies, and my favorite, lemon pie. As I looked through the pages, I thought I could hear her voice. She was the one who taught me not just about baking, but about life.75. The passage is developed in order of ______.A. timeB. placeC. logicD. events76. While helping her grandmother bake, the author ______.A. missed the game showsB. refused to go to schoolC. showed great interestD. could take care of herself77. What does the underlined word “thorny" in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A. Basic.B. Common.C. Difficult.D. Special.78. From the passage we know the author's grandmother ______.A. lived with her familyB. was very skilled at bakingC. published a recipe bookD. had been on a game show6、Winter Vinecki began running at age five, but got serious in 2009 after her father died of cancer—that’s when she decided to honor his memory by running a marathon on every continent (大洲) before her 15th birthday.Scope: Team Winter is an organization you founded to raise money for cancer research. How did it get started?Winter: At first, Team Winter was formed to fight childhood obesity (肥胖). When I was 8, I ran a race and raised $1,100 for that cause. But less than a year later, my dad got cancer. I knew I had to do something to help. When I started, my go al was to raise $10,000. I’ve raised well past that—almost $500,000.Scope: What goes through your mind when you run?Winter: When I’m having a hard time during a race, I think about my dad. If he could deal with the pain of cancer, I can deal with any type of pain. He was a very friendly person. He was always smiling and very happy even when he had cancer.Scope: Is your age ever an obstacle (障碍) in your races?Winter: I’ve been turned down by race directors who won’t let anyone younger than 16 or 18 compe te. But Diana Nyad, the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage, told me, “Never let them tell you it can’t be done.” From then on I knew my age wasn’t the problem.Scope: You’ve probably inspired lots of people too.Winter: I’ve hea rd about kids doing projects like me. Once in a restaurant, a boy came up to my mom and me and told us his dad had cancer too. Now he’s competing in running for his dad. Hearing stories like that helps keep me going.63. What do we know about Team Winter?A. It always holds different races.B. Its final goal is to raise $500,000.C. It was named after Winter’s father.D. It was to help obese children at first.64. When Winter has a hard time during a race, what keeps her going?A. Her father’s il lness.B. Her father’s success.C. Her father’s bravery.D. Her father’s kindness.65. Winter’s words in the last paragraph tell us that ______.A. she sets a good example to othersB. she hopes others will do what she doesC. the boy wants to join Team WinterD. the boy invites her to compete with him7、“Oh, my god. Are you serious?”That’s a reaction I often get when people hear the tale of my childhood.It’s a story I don’t often share. Growing up in a bad home, I learned to protect myself by not speaking up. I've seldom said anything about how badly I was treated and hurt as a child. I don’t talk about how my name was changed at least three times, what it was like to live in my van (箱式货车), or how I've struggled with anxiety, depression, and wanting to kill myself. But I learned to start speaking up for myself. I went on to earn two graduate degrees and I will complete my Doctor’s degree this year. I've also become a widely published author. So, how did I get to where I am today?What helped me is surrounding myself with caring, loving people. I've learned day-to-day skills through research, trial and error, and with the help of skilled professionals. They’ve taught me how to slow down, to breathe, to be thankful for what I've got. They’re the ones who make my goals possible. They have also taught me to turn my past experiences into strength-to make the negatives into positives.My hope is that sharing my story might help others to see what is possible even in the darkest of times and help others to speak out. I don’t think I'm in any way special or unique. I'm a common man, no more deserving than anyone else. But for far too long, I've been afraid that others think I'm damaged goods. I've worried about how I might be treated differently.Pain and fear teach us to be silent. It’s time for that to change.I don’t know what tomorrow might bring. But one thing I've learned is that if we can hold on and find help, if we find ways to get through the day and speak up, we’11 not only survive, but become stronger than before.Our very survival can be an inspiration all on its own. And with love of my friends, I look forward to so much more than completing my education—I look forward to the future.29. Which might not be related to the author’s childhood? A. Depression B. Disappointment C. Desperation D. Trust30. How did the writer get today’s success?A. With the help of his parents.B. Learning by himself.C. Holding on and finding help from others.D. Being special and talented.31. What’s the author’s purpose of sharing his story?A. To become stronger than before.B. To encourage others to make the most of their dark times of life.C. To become a better publisher.D. To change the ways to speak up.32. What can we learn from the author’s experience?A. We should overcome the difficulty depending on ourselves.B. We should keep silent when meeting pain and fear.C. Managing to survive when in trouble can make us stronger.D. Our childhood 1ife decides our future.8、Optimism May Help People Live LongerPeople who have an optimistic view on life are more likely to live longer, a US study said Wednesday.The study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, analyzed data from 2004 to 2012 from 70,000 women enrolled in the Nurses’ Health Study, a long-running US study tracking women’s health via surveys every two years.The researchers looked at participants’ levels of optimism and other factors that might play a role in how optimism may affect mortality risk, such as race, high blood pressure, diet, and physical activity.It found the most optimistic women, or the top 25%, had a nearly 30 percent lower risk of dying from any of the diseases analyzed in the study compared with the least optimistic women, or the bottom 25%.The most optimistic women had a 16 percent lower risk of dying from cancer; 38 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease; 39 percent lower risk of dying from stroke; 38 percent lower risk of dying from respiratory disease; and 52 percent lower risk of dying from infection.Previous studies have linked optimism with reduced risk of early death from cardiovascular (心脑血管的) problems, but this was the first to find a link between optimism and reduced risk from other major causes.“While most medical and public health efforts today focus on reducing risk factors for diseases, evidence has been mounting that enhancing psychological resilience (弹性，复原力) may also make a difference,” said Eric Kim, research fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and co-lead author of the study.“Our new findings suggest that we should make efforts to boost optimism, which has been shown to be associated with healthier behaviors and healthier ways of coping with life challenges.”The study also found that healthy behaviors only partially explain the link between optimism and reduced mortality risk. One other possibility is that higher optimism directly affects our biological systems, Kim said.Co-lead author and postdoctoral research fellow Kaitlin Hagan said optimism can be varied with relatively uncomplicated and low-cost interventions (干预), even things as simple as having people write down and think about the best possible outcomes for various areas of their lives, such as careers or friendships.“Encouraging use of these interventions could be an innovative way to enhance health in the future,” Hagan said.32. According to the recent study, optimism can ______.A. help women live longer than menB. enable people to stay healthyC. cure people of high blood pressureD. make woman stay young and nice33.

The girls looked at me skeptically. Surely silence is nothing?Sitting there at the dinner table, I suddenly remembered their curiosity as children, their wondering about what might be hiding behind a door and their amazement as t hey stared at a light switch and asked me to “open the light”. But now they are 13, 16 and 19 and wonder less and less. If they still wonder at anything, they quickly pull out their smart phones to find the answer. None of them have any interest in discussing with me. To attract their attention, I told them about two friends of mine who had decided to climb Mount Qomolangma.Early one morning they left base camp to climb the south-west wall of the mountain. It was going well. Both reached the summit, but then came the storm. They soon realized they would not make it down alive. The first got hold of his pregnant wife by satellite phone. Together they decided on the name of the child that she was carrying. Then he quietly passed away just below the summit. My other friend was not able to contact anyone before he died. No one knows exactly what happened on the mountain in those hours. Thanks to the dry, cool climate 8km above sea level, they have both been freeze-dried. They lie there in silence, looking no different.The girls remained quiet, listening. It seemed as though they had got something.It is easy to assume that the essence (本质) of technology is technology itself, but that is wrong. The essence is the time we spend with our family and how much freedom we have by technology.20. What’s the real purpose of the author’s telling the story?A. To entertain the girls.B. To attract the girls’ attention to technology.C. To encourage the girls to explore the world’s secret.D. To share a viewpoint about the essence of technology.21. Why are the girls unwilling to discuss problems with the author when they are puzzled?A. Because they don’t want to solve them.B. Because they can turn to the smart phone.C. Because they feel ashamed for their problems.D. Because they think it difficult to talk with others.22. How would the author think of the outcome of the storytelling?A. It’s effective.B. It’s unacceptable.C. It’s embarrassing.D. It’s discouraging23. What does technology really bring us according to the text?A. The time with our family and freedom.B. The answers to the puzzling problems.C. The information of learning the outside world.D. The choice of communicating with our friends.10、I was nervous, no doubt about it, but I felt pretty fearfully sitting there unmoving on top of the horse, so I picked up my canter (使马慢跑). I went a few times around the stadium, saying I was warming up my horse. But really, I was taking some time to collect my thoughts and prepare myself before I jumped. Or to put it in a more simple and realistic tone, I was delaying.Finally the time came when I had to just suck it up and jump the horse. I swallowed, turned, and began heading straight for the jump. My palms began to sweat and I tightened myself. There was no turning back from this now.I sat up in my jumping position as my horse picked up his speed to jump. Fear rushed through me as well as a sense of excitement. Before I knew it, I was up in the air, flying over the jump. As scared was, I was determined not to mess this up. My horse landed with a small beat on the other side of jump and continued cantering around the field like nothing had ever happened. Miraculously, I was seated firmly on the horse, unharmed. Surprised, I slowed down to a smooth running to process that I hadn't just been thrown off a leaping animal.My riding instructor congratulated me, proud that I got through it. I admit that I was proud as well. I'm not usually the kind of person that faces their fears. Instead, I usually run away from them.54. What is the author's real purpose to go around the stadium several times?A. To warm his horse up.B. To judge the distance.C. To make sure to succeed.D. To calm himself down.55. How did the author feel before the horse landed?a. interested;b. excited;c. frightened;d. proudA. a; bB. b; cC. c; dD. a; d56. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The instructor used to be proud of the author.B. The author used to stay away from challenges.C. The author feared nothing much from then on.D. The instructor believed the author could succeed.一、阅读理解（本题共计 10 小题，每题 10 分，共计100分）1、【答案】DBDC【解析】本文作者发现孩子对气候变化对我们所在的星球的影响几乎一无所知而感到震惊，由此对这个问题进行了讨论。

Actor Willi am Shatner, who is no stranger to futuristic tech, recently purc hased two e-bikes for him and his wife.“I’ve been shopping for an e-bike now for a few weeks, and I’ve had my eye on the folding electric bike. I had folding bikes in the past and love the conve nience of being able to throw my bike into my car.”The e-bike market is ready to go mainstream in the The price for e-bikes has come down greatly in recent months. At one time, most e-bikes with good components and proper weight were in the ＄3，000 range. Now you can find reasonable quality e-bikes in the ＄1,000 range. With gas prices at all-time highs, e-bikes are an attractive, low-cost option to gas efficient vehicles.E-bike owners are finding that they are great for commuting to w ork, as traditional bikes can be a problem with office dress an d sweat．People who use e-bikes range from commuters to casual cyclers who like a little help with hills and wind, to those who decided to save money on buying a motor bike．These are not for the serious road cy cler or professional mountain biker．If you’re considering all e-bike, it pays to do some research first. Cheaper e-bikes are going to be heavier and have less battery power．H igher priced bikes will be made from lighter materials and hav e better batteries．Another consideration is local motor vehicle laws. For exampl e，according to US federal law，as long as your electric bike is under 750 watts and does not go over 20 MPH then it is a bicycle and not a motor vehicle. M ost consumer e-bikes in the ＄1,000 range don’t fit the motorized vehicle desc ription．31.

What is the best title for this passage?A．E-bike Sales to Shift into Mainstream in 20l3 B．E-bikes，the Future Way of TransportationC．E-bikes Vs Gas Vehicles D．E-bikes，Actors’ First ChoiceBMy grandfather had a small farm where he raised beef and so me grain for feed. He also worked diligently as a factory labor er. He was a good neighbor and well-respected for honoring his word. When harvest time came, he ’d piece together his old corn picker and oil it up for the seaso n. All his life he worked hard, helped others, and you could count on him to keep his promises.He had promised to harvest corn on a friend’s farm, but after harvesting his own corn, Grandpa’s little corn picker coughed and quit. It would be out of commission until a particular part c ould be ordered, but that would take far too long to help this y ear. The factory where Grandpa worked began to require over time. In order to keep his job there he had to leave the farm b efore dawn and get home until well after sunset.One autumn night, while harvest time was running out, he and his wife sat at the kitchen table and trying to figure a way out of their dilemma (进退两难的境地).“There’s nothing you can do,” said my grandma. “You’ll just h ave to tell him that you can’t help with the corn this year.”“Well that just doesn’t sit well with me,” said my grandpa. “My friend is depending on me. I can’t exactly let my neighbor’s ha rvest rot in the field, can I?”“When do you think you’d have time to do it?” she asked. “Wit h the overtime you’ve been working you’d be up all night.”“I know of one night that I could do it!” he said, running to the bookshelf. He grabbed the Farmer’s Almanac(历书) and started flipping through the pages. “Aha!There’s still one more full moon in October.” They say it’s called the harve st moon because it gives farmers more light and more time tocollect their crops.And so days later, after a long shift at the factory, my grandpa made his way to the field where my grandma met him in the t ruck with dinner. It was cold but clear, and the moon was brilli ant. He worked through the night to keep his word.I know this story well, so sometimes, when I attempted to cut corners or to put off responsibilities, I think of my grandfather with his scythe (大镰刀) cutting wide arcs of corn in the light of the harvest moon.35. Which was the main trouble my grandfather had in helping his friend?A. His wife objected to his helping his friend.B. His corn pic ker ran out of oil.C. His corn picker broke down.D. The weather was not favorable.36. Which of the following can NOT be concluded from the pa ssage?A. My grandfather cared about his work in the factory very mu ch.B. My grandmother supported my grandfather’s decision to ha rvest the friend’s corn at the full moon night.C. My grandfather must have stayed up all night to help his friend harvest.D. My grandfather didn’t manage to help his friend in time.37. What kind of quality in the grandfather had the most influe nce on the writer?A. A person should be responsible.B. A person should be generous.C. A person should be selfless.D. A person should be d iligent.38. The passage mainly intends to tell us that .A. helping others is helping ourselvesB. we should be gene rous with our timeC. keep your promise whatever happensD. we should be wel l-prepared for what hasn’t happenedCSunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of busi ness that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now ope n late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day a nd the day of the week have become irrelevant. A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong an d precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work , school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exi st, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the school s open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. An d whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. H ow should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficult y is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to atte nd school a certain number of hours, days and years but unle ss we meet the truant officer (学监) , we may well think that we should go to school due to soc ial custom and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As ad ults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but l ess familiar with the fact that what makes up “overtime” is a m atter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to star t daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the l aw in action?” As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has gr eat influence on how to organize and use time: compulsory ed ucation law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, bei ng late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and rate.39. By saying “Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be,” the writer means that __________.A. work time is equal to rest timeB. many people have a d ay off on Monday,C. it is hard for people to decide when to restD. the line betw een work time and rest time is unclear40. The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people__________.A. fail to make full use of their timeB. enjoy working overti me for extra payC. are unaware of the law of timeD. welcome flexible wor king hours41. According to the passage, most children tend to believe th at they go to school because they_____.A. need to acquire knowledgeB. have to obey their pare ntsC. need to find companionsD. have to observe the law42 What is the main idea of the passage?A. Our life is governed by the law of time.B. How to organiz e time is not worth debating.C. New ways of using time change our society.D. Our time sc hedule is decided by social customsDWhy are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods ? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the ri sk of acid accumulation in your body.Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently tha n cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes , our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too man y nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instan ces, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorb ed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food mov es slowly through the digestive tract (消化道), where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital o rgans from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into f at and stores it safely away from the organs.Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might con fuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed food s also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify t hese foods as allergens and then store them safely away fro m the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will be come acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vit al oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body ’s metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesit y.The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestio n increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy fo ods can become acidic and the food allergies will become mo re common.To stop this terrible circle in its tracks, people need to consum e food and supplements that will neutralize (中和) the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right typ es of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to rest ore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the f oods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods th at increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change an d help your body heal itself, you need to take an active appro ach.43. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To advocate eating more raw and whole foods.B. To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.C. To inform people of the harm of processed foods.D. To warn people of the problem of obesity.44. It can be inferred from Para. 2 that __________.A. it is essential for people to protect their vital organsB. foods with natural enzymes help people keep fitC. we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foodsD. giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle45. What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 2?A. The body.B. The acidC. The acid wasteD. fat46. What is likely to be talked about following the last paragra ph?A. Active approaches to avoid acid.B. Different causes of acid accumulation.C. Correct ways to cook raw foods.D. Suitable types of raw and whole foods.七选五Going on holiday should be an exciting moment. 47 _______Here are some suggestions as to how you can stop that from being the case and make the whole experience a little more e njoyable.Choose Wisely The first way to make sure you have a comfor table flight is of course to choose your ticket carefully48_____ __ Many flights let you book your seat ahead of time so you’d better check in early or look online early and make sure you g et it with the most space for your legs.Relax 49 _______ People just can’t associate being on a plan e with being comfortable and they tend to think that the experi ence is going to be unpleasant. Remember that tossing and t urning won’t make you any more comfortable and instead just focus on the fact that you are sitting down without a care in th e world during at least the period of the flight.50 _______ Medication If you do get travel sick then this is of course not conductive (有益的) to your comfort. 51 _______ The other kind of medication t hat might help you relax and sleep quickly could be anti-anxiety if you are nervous about flight or sleeping tablets. Take some travel medication before the flight if this is the cas e.Think long and hard about the airline you are going to fly with and the seat you are going to book.It is actually unnecessary to worry about how to make a long f light comfortable.In fact, the biggest problem with people on planes is the psyc hological factor.Avoid booking a seat beside a window in case you are dizzy. But many of us feel an amount of anxiety because the trip mig ht be long while you still have to get there.It is a rare opportunity now to just relax and read a book.Woman: Good morning.Man: Good morning. Er…I’m looking for a place 61 _____ (ren t) near the university.Woman: What are you looking for, a house, a flat, 62 ______ a room?Man: Well, we want a flat if that’s possible.

My grandfather didn’t manage to help his friend in time.37. What kind of quality in the grandfather had the most influence on the writer?A. A person should be responsible.B. A person should be generous.C. A person should be selfless.D. A person should be diligent.38. The passage mainly intends to tell us that .A. helping others is helping ourselvesB. we should be generous with our timeC. keep your promise whatever happensD. we should be well-prepared for what hasn’t happenedCSunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day a nd the day of the week have become irrelevant. A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer d oes. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. An d whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go e ven further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize th e “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to atten d school a certain number of hours, days and years but unless we meet the truant officer (学监) , we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ deman d rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but le ss familiar with the fact that what makes up “overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When w e turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action?” As we shall see,。

2015年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(新课标2卷)试题第一部分：听力略第二部分阅读理解(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。
AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over ayear ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model, I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. Theset worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off-night movies or I would neverfor the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing allhave gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually,this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to changeto another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I hadto pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my armmuscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait forthe noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist,and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.22.Which of the following can best replace the underlined phrase”signed off”in Paragraph 1?A. ended all their programsB. provided fewer channelsC. changed to commercialsD. showed all-night movies23.How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it.B. By turning it on and off.C. By switching channels.D. By having it repaired.24. How does the anthor sound when telling the story ?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD. HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your homecould play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make yourenvironment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into partof diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re in poorly lit places-andso more likely to eat lots of food. If your home d oesn’t have enough win dow light, get more lampsand flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people whoate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warmcolors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry ., go blue.So when it’s time to repaintDon’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewercalories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of thetime, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down toeat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rushthrough a meal.Downsize the dishs. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoonover a smaller one ,total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.25.The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets26.A home environment in blue can help people_________.A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites27.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast music.C. Use smaller spoons.D. Turn down the lights.28.What can be a suitable title for the test?A. Is Your Hourse Making You Fat?B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore students than ever before are taking a gap-year (间隔年)before going to university.It-year phenomenonused to be called the “year off” between school and university.The gaporiginated (起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams inNovember and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutionshave put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided byUniversity and College Admissions Serbice(UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year.Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher-planned year out are more likely to be stisfied with, andeducation. “Students who take a wellcomplete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature andresponsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union ofStudents(NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship – young people are beingforced into ear ning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to ￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and morestudents are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.NUS statisticsshow that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to90% during vacation periods,”he said.29. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxation.C. It is increasingly popular.D. It is required by universities.30.

高中英语真题-2015年英语学科高考练习题
高中英语真题:2015年英语学科高考练习题第I卷 (共103分)I. Listening（略）II. Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent aridgrammatically con-ect- For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with th e proper form ofthe given word; for the other blanks, use one ward that best fit s each blank.(A)How I Turned to Be Optimistic(乐观的)I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt'sHouse, and my mother said that we (25) (leave) for soon. We were on the bus then. Iwas crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember I could notbear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to (26) I listened every morning.I do not remember myself (27) (cry) for this reason aga in. In fact I think I cried verylittle when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought aboutall the places I was going to see. The country I was leaving ne ver to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of o ptimism, but (28) idea did not come to me at once. For th e first two years in I was really lost. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things beca me even (29) (complex) for me. Some time passed befor e my stepfather and I got used to each orher. However, my re sponsibilities in the family increased a lot since my English va s superior (30) anyone else's at home. I translated at inter views with immigration officers,and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences, I believe that my life will turn out all r ight (31) it is not that easy.(B)How Room Designs Affect Our Work and FeelingArchitects have long had the feeling that the place we live in can affect our thoughts, feelingand behaviours. But now scientists are giving this feeling an e mpirical(实证的)basis. They are discovering how(32) (design) spaces t hat promote creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relax ation.Researches show aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2012, JoanMeyers-Levy reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects (33) people think. Herresearch indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to thi nk more freely, (34) (lead) them to make more abstract co nnections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a mor e detailed outlook. Besides ceiling height, the view (35) (aff ord) by a building may influence anoccupant's ability to concentrate.Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off ac ademically, and(36) seems to, according to a study. Students in classroo ms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts an d maths than did students (37) classrooms primarily overl ooked roads and parking lots.Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim lig ht helps people loosen up.(38) that is true generally, keeping the light low during din ner or at parties could increaserelaxation.So far public buildings (39) (focus) on by scientists. "We have a very limited number ofstudies, so we are almost looking at the problem through a str aw(吸管),” architect David says.“How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad use of them? That is(40) we are all struggling with.”Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the word s in the box. Each word can only beused once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Foreign drivers will have a pay on-the-spot fines of up to £900 for breaking the traffic law to be carrie d out next month.If they do not have enough cash or a working credit card, th eir vehicles will be clamped(扣留)until they pay--and they will face a(n) 41 fee of £80 for getting back their ve hicles.The law will also be 42 to British citizens. The fines will be described officially as "deposits" when the traffic laws take 4 3 , because the money would be returned if the driverwent to court and was found not guilty. In practice, very few fo reign drivers are likely to return to to deal with their cases.Foreign drivers are rarely 44 because police cannot take action against them if they fail to appear in court. Instead, offi cers often 45 give warnings. Foreign vehicles are 30 perce ntMore likely to be in a crash than British-registered vehicles. The number of crashes caused by foreignvehicles rose by 47 percent between 2008 and 2013, There were almost 400 deaths and serious injuries and 3,000 46 injuries from accidents caused by foreign vehicles in 2013.The new law is partly 47 to settle the problem of foreign l orry drivers ignoring limits to weight and hours at the wheel. F oreign lorries are three times more likely to be in a crash than British lorries. Recent spot checks found that three quarters of lorries that failed safety tests were 48 overseas.The standard deposit for a careless driving 49 --such as driving too close to the vehiclefront or reading a map at the wheel--will be £300. Foreign drivers will not get points as 50 added to their licenses, while British drivers will.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are f our words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In any planning system, from the simplest budgeting to the most complex corporate planning,there is an annual process. This is partly due to the fact that firms _ 51__ their accounting on ayearly basis, but also because similar _ 52__ often occur in th e market.Usually, the larger the firm, the longer the planning takes. B ut 53 , planning for next yearmay start nine months or more in advance, with various stage s of evaluation leading to 54 ofthe complete plan three months before the start of the year. Planning continues, however, throughout the year, since m anagers 55 progress againsttargets, while looking forward to the next year. What is happe ning now will 56 theobjectives and plans for the future.In today's business climate, as markets constantly change and become more difficult to 57 ,some analysts believe that long-term planning is 58 . In some markets they may be right, as long as companies can build the sort of flexibility into their ope rations which allows them to59 to any sudden changes.Most firms, however, need to plan more than one year ahe ad in order to 60 .their long-termgoals. This may reflect the time it takes to commission and bu ild a new production plant, or, inmarketing 61 , it may be a question of how long it takes to r esearch and launch a range ofnew products, and reach a certain 62 in the market. If, for e xample, it is going to take fiveyears for a particular airline to become the 63 choice amon gst business travelers on certainroutes, the airline must plan for the various 64 involved.Every one-year plan, therefore, must be 65 in relation to longer-term plans,and it shouldcontain die stages that are necessary to achieve the final goal s.A make upB carry outC bring aboutD put dow nA patternsB guidesC designsD distributionsA surprisinglyB contrarilyC equallyD typically A approval B permission C admiration D objecti onA valueB confirmC reviewD surveyA restoreB promoteC influenceD maintainA guessB advocateC recognizeD predictA pointlessB meaningfulC realisticD inevitable A lead B respond C refer D contributeA shareB handleC developD benefitA expressionsB descriptionsC wordsD terms A reputation B position C situation D direction A reserved B selected C preferred D supposed A acts B steps C means D pointsA handed overB left behindC made outD draw n upSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. Fo r each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information give n in the passage you have just read.(A)My dad loved pennies, especially those with the elegant st alk(茎) of wheat curving around each side of the ONE CENT on the back. Those were the pennies he grew up with during the Depression.As a kid, I would go for walks with Dad, spying coins along the way-a penny here, a dime(一角硬币) there. Whenever I picked up a penny, he'd ask, "Is it a wh eat?" It always thrilled him when we found one of those speci al coins produced between 1909 and 1958, the year of my birt h.One gray Sunday morning in winter, not long after my fath er's death in 2002, I was walking down , feeling bereft. I found myself in front of the church where Dad once worked. I was warmly shown in and led to a seat. Hearing Dad's favorite "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God", I burst into tears. We'd sung that at his funeral.After the service, I shook the pastor's(牧师) hand and stepped onto the sidewalk-and there was a penny. I bent to pick it up, turned it over, and sure enough, it was a wheat. A 1944, a year my father was serving on a ship i n the South Pacific.That started it. Suddenly wheat pennies began turning up on the sidewalks of everywhere. I got most of the important y ears: his birth year, my mom's birth year, the year he graduat ed from college, the year he met my mom, the year they got married, the year my sister was born. But alas, no 1958 wheat penny-my year, the last year they were made.The next Sunday, after the service, I was walking up and spotted a penny in the middle of a crossing. Oh, no, it was a b usy street；cabs were speeding by-should I risk it? I just had to get it.A wheat! But the penny was worn, and I couldn't read the date. On arriving home, I took out myglasses and took it to the light. There was my birthday!I found 21 wheat pennies on the streets of in the year afte r my father died, and I don't think that's a coincidence.66.

The text serves as a _______ .A. a reminder to social workersB. an advertisement for helpersC. a document on appealing for volunteersD. an introductio n about a social care organization(C)There are desert plants which survive the dry season in th e form of inactive seeds. There are also desert insects which survive as inactive larvae (幼虫). In addition, difficult as it is to believe, there are desert fish which can survive through years of drought (干旱) in the form of inactive eggs. These are the shrimps (虾) th at live in the Mojave Desert, an extremely dry place in the sou thwest of the United States where shade temperatures of over 50℃ are often recorded.The eggs of the Mojave shrimps look like grains of sand bot h in size and appearance. When enough spring rain falls to fo rm a lake, once every two to five years, these eggs hatch. Th en the water is soon filled with millions of tiny shrimps about a millimetre long which feed on tiny plant and animal organism s (有机物）which also grow in the temporary desert lake. Within a week, t he shrimps grow from their original 1 millimetre to a length of about 1.5 centimetres.Throughout the time that the shrimps are rapidly maturing, the water in the lake equally rapidly evaporates(蒸发). Therefore, for the shrimps it is a race against time. By the twelfth day, however, when they are about 3 centimetre long, hundreds of tiny eggs form on the underbodies of the female s. Usually by this time, all that remains of the lake is a large, muddy patch of wet soil. On the 13th day, the shrimps lay thei r eggs in the mud. Then, having ensured that their species will survive, the shrimps die as the last of the water evaporates. If enough rain falls the next year to form another lake, the egg s hatch, and once again the shrimps pass rapidly through thei r cycle of growth, adulthood, egg-laying, and death. Some years there is not enough rain to form a lake: in this case, the eggs will remain dormant for anothe r years, or even longer if necessary.74. Which of the following is the MOST unique feature of Moja ve shrimps?A. Their lives are brief.B. They feed on plant and animal organisms.C. Their eggs can survive years of drought.D. They lay their eggs in the mud.75. What doe the underlined word “dormant” in the last paragr aph most probably mean?A. Inactive.B. Sleeping.C. Safe.D. De ad.76. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Appearance and size are the most important for life to sur vive in the desert.B. A species must be able to grow up quickly in order to surv ive.C. Shrimps are the only species with a life cycle of 13 days.D. Some species develop a unique life pattern to survive in e xtremely hard condition.77. What is the passage mainly about?A.The life span of Mojave shrimpsB. The survival of desert shrimpsC. The creatures living in the Mojave desertD. The imp ortance of water to life in the desertSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the que stions or complete the statements in the fewest possible word s.The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women in , or probably in the world.During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable sho rtening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for t he children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth c entury would probably have been in her middle twenties? And would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the young est was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer child ren. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when sh e is forty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixt y. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lighten ed by modern living conditions.This important change in women's life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on wome n's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left sc hool at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work a t once and never returned to it. Today the school leaving age i s sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.

2015年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(全国卷II)英语本试卷分第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）两部分。
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。
AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on unti l stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static ( 静电 )noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seco nds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel a nd then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to rem ove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go aw ay. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cos t me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.1. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.2. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “sign ed off” in paragraph 1?A. ended all their programsB. provided fewer channelsC. changed to commercialsD. showed all-night movies3. How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it.B. By turning it on and off.C. By switching channels.D. By having it repaired.4. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. Curious.B. Anxious.C. Cautious.D. Humorous.BYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of again st you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan. Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environment are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they’re in poorly lit places -and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a b lue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appea r more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock – or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at l east 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on rela xing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake （摄入）jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.5. The text is especially help for those who care about______.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets6. A home environment in blue can help people______.A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetite7. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quicklyB. Play fast musicC. Use smaller spoonsD. Turn down the lights8. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self-ConsciousD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore students than ever before are taking a gap year ( 间隔年 ) before going to university.It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated ( 起源 ) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS). That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education, “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the presidents of National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship -- young people are being forced into earning money beforefinishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to 15,000 in deb t. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for th e degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increa ses to 90% during vacation periods,” he said.9. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxation.C. It is increasingly popular.D. It is required by universities10. According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year _____.A. are better prepared for college studiesB. know a lot more about their future jobsC. are more likely to leave university in debtD. have a better chance to enter top universities11. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A. He’s puzzled.B. He’s worried.C. He’s surprised.D. He’s annoyed.12. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A. Attend additional coursesB. Make plans for the new termC. Earn money for their educationD. Prepare for their graduate studiesDChoose Your One-Day Tours!Tour A – Bath & Stonehenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge --£37 until 26 March and £39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent and the Costume Museum.

高考阅读真题
2015年高考英语阅读理解题与答案(9套)Our brains work in complex and strange ways.There are some people who can calculate the day of the week for any given date in 40,000 years, but who cannot add two plus two.Others can perform complex classical piano pieces after hearing them once, but they cannot read or write.ngdon Down first described this condition in 1887.He called these people idiot savants.An idiot savant is a person who has significant mental impairment (损伤) , such as in autism ( 孤独症，自闭症) or retardation.At the same time, the person also exhibits some extraordinary skills, which are unusual for most people.The skills of the savant may vary from being exceptionally gifted in music or in mathematics, or having a photographic memory.One of the first descriptions of a human who could calculate quickly was written in 1789 by Dr.Benjamin Rush, an American doctor.His patient, Thomas Fuller, was brought to Virginia as a slave in1724.It took Thomas only 90 seconds to work out that a man who has lived 70 years, 17 days, and 12 hours has lived 2,210,500,800 seconds.Despite this ability, he died in 1790 without ever learning to read or write.Another idiot savant slave became famous as a pianist in the 1860s.Blind Tom had a vocabulary of only 100 words, but he played 5 ,000 musical pieces beautifully.In the excellent movie Rain Man, made in 1988 and available onvideo cassette, Dustin Hoffman plays an idiot savant who amazes his brother played by Tom Cruise, with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly.Today we more clearly recognize that the idiot savant is special because of brain impairment.Yet not all brain impairment leads to savant skills.Some studies have shown that people who have purposeful interruption of the left side of the brain can develop idiot savant skills.However few people wish to participate in such experiments.There are many excellent reasons for not undergoing unnecessary experimentation on one's brain.The term idiot savant is outdated and inappropriate.Virtually all savants have a high degree of intelligence and are thus not idiots.72.What does the passage mainly talk aboutA.Idiot savants have areas of outstanding abilities.B.Human Beings have complicated thinking process.C.The brains of the idiot savants are partly impaired.D.The reasons why people have wonderful skills vary.73.Which of the following can be done by Rain ManA.He can play wonderful pieces of classical music.B.He can guess out exactly the length of a man's life.C.He can memorize the contents of the pictures fast.D.He can count matches dropped on the floor quickly.74.What can you infer from the passageA.Idiot savants have real talents for art and math.B.Dr.Down is the first person who found idiot savants.C.Few people wish to risk becoming savants by brain operations.D.Intentional left brain impairments will surely lead to idiot savants.75.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage答案：72—75 ADCBLaws that would have ensured pupils from five to 16 received a full financial education got lost in the ‘wash up’. An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.At school the children are taught to add up and subtract(减法) but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account — let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children from five to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called “wash-up”earlier this month — the rush to legislation before parliament wasdismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven- to 11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends. By this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft(透支) as a way of extending their spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will “find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents' generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school.”The UK has been in the worst financial recession(衰退)for generations. It does seem odd that — unless parents step in —young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents.61. The passage is mainly about _____________.A. how to manage school lessonsB. how to deal with the financial crisisC. teaching young people about moneyD. teaching students how to study effectively62. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that __________.A. the author complains about the school educationB. pupils should not be taught to add up and subtractC. students have been taught to manage their financesD. laws on financial education have been effectively carried out63. The website and the consumer campaigner joined to _________.A. instruct the pupils to donate their pocket moneyB. promote the connection of schools and familiesC. ask the government to dismiss the parliamentD. appeal for the curriculum of financial education64. According to Pfeg, ___________.A. it is easy to keep good habits longB. teenagers spend their money as plannedC. parents are willing to pay the debt for their kidsD. it will be in trouble if the teenagers are left alone65. A poll is mentioned to ___________.A. stress the necessity of the curriculum reformB. show the seriousness of the financial recessionC. make the readers aware of burden of the parentsD. illustrate some people are strongly against the proposal答案：61-65 CADDAuropeans should try to stay indoors if ash from Iceland's volcano starts settling, the World Health Organization warned Friday as small amounts fell in Iceland, Scotland and Norway.WHO spokesman Daniel Epstein said the microscopic(微小的) ash is potentially dangerous for people when it starts to reach the Earth because inhaled(吸入) particles can enter the lungs and cause respiratory problems. And he also said Europeans who go outside might want to consider wearing a mask.Other experts, however, weren't convinced the volcanic ash would have a major effect on peoples' health and said WHO's warnings were "hysterical." They said volcanic ash was much less dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution. Volcanic ash is made of fine particles of fragmented volcanic rock. It is light gray to black and can be as fine as talcum powder. During a volcanic eruption, the ash can be breathed deep into the lungs and cause irritation even in healthy people. But once it falls from a greater distance — like from the cloud currently hovering above Europe — its health effects are often minimal, experts say."Not all particles are created equal," said Ken Donaldson, a professor of respiratory toxicology at the University of Edinburgh, "In the great scheme of things, volcanic ash is not all that harmful." And he said most Europeans' exposure to volcanic ash would be negligible and that only those in the near districts of theIcelandic volcano would likely be at risk.Dr. Stephen Spiro, a professor of respiratory medicine and deputy chair of the British Lung Foundation, said the further the particles travel, the less dangerous they will be. "The cloud has already passed over northern Scotland and we haven't heard of any ill effects there," he said. Spiro said to wear masks or stay indoors to avoid volcanic ash was "over the top" and "a bit hysterical."60. The text is mainly about .A. the effect of volcanic ashB. the health risk of volcanic ashC. the disadvantages of volcanic ashD. the opinions on health risk of volcanic ash61. Which one is true according to Paragraph3A. The volcanic ash’s effects on Europeans were little.B. The ash caused irritation even in healthy people.C. Other experts thought WTO’S warnings were useful.D. The volcanic ash was more dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution.62. The underlined word “hysterical” in Paragraph4 most probably means .A. amazingB. practicalC. valuableD. overstated63. What can we learn from the passageA. The volcanic ash wouldn’t be harmful to people.B. All experts thought the volcanic ash did great harm to our health.C. People close to the volcano would likely be at risk according to some experts.D. Europeans should stay indoors because Iceland's volcano starts settling.答案：60.D. 主旨大意题。

Then in 1966, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm, rapidly becoming the world’s best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple.In nutrition (营养) it was all good news too. This nice tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C(维生素C) than the old green variety.Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good againstsome diseases. People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater.Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep market to itself. But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte turned to law for help, but failed. Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte’s attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out the market.本文介绍了一种产于夏威夷的可口的、营养丰富的菠萝。

Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil? The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.“I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these year. ” I say to her, walking ba ck into the living-room witha sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t you afford apen?”My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days. ”Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I hada brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have takenthe paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back.It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on. ”This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is also a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics.Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible（看不到的）exhibits at every meal.46．Why has the author’s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen? A．To leave messages. B．To list her everyday tasks.C．To note down maths problems. D．To write down a flash of inspiration.47. What is the author’s original opinion about the wooden stand?A. It has great value for the family.B. It needs to be replaced by a better one.C. It brings her back to her lonely childhood.D . It should be passed on to the next generation.48. The author feels embarrassed for .A. blaming her mother wrongly.B. giving her mother a lot of trouble.C. not making good use of time as her mother did.D. not making any breakthrough in her field.49. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A . The mother is successful in her career.B. The family members like traveling.C. The author had little time to play when young.D. The marks on the breadboard have disappeared.50. In the author’s mind ,her mother is .A. strange in behavior.B. keen on her research.C. fond of collecting old things.D. careless about her appearance.B8.BPhotographs are everywhere. They decorate (装饰) the walls of homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record the beauties of nature. They can also bring things close that are far away. Through photos, people can see wild animals, cities in foreign lands, and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories.Reporting the news through photos is called photojournalism. At timesphotojournalists tell their stories through a single picture. At other times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture is like a chapter in a book, which can do more than record the facts. It can also be a strong force for social change.Jacob Riis was among the first photojournalists. He took pictures of parts of New York City where the poor lived. Riis believed that poverty(贫穷) caused crime, and he used photos to help him prove his point. A few years later, the photos of small children working in factories by Lewis Hi ne shocked the public. Hine’s pictures helped bring about laws to protect such children.Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one or two really good photos. It takes science to have the photo come out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses feeling. Photojournalists make an actual record of what they see. A photo, however, can be both a work of art and an actual record. It can record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture.As historical and artistic documents(文献) ,photos can become more important over time. Today photojournalists still have their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish(发表) them in books and on the Internet.45. The underlined word “They” in the first para graph refers to .A. beautiesB. photosC. goodsD. events46. The photos of the small children by Hine show us that photos .A. are also works of artB. are popular ways of reporting newsC. often shock the publicD. can serve as a force for social change47. What can we learn from the passage?A. News with pictures is encouraging.B. Photos help people improveC. News photos mean history in a sense.D. People prefer reading news with pictures.48. The text is mainly about .A. telling the story through pictureB. decorating the walls of homesC. publishing historical papersD. expressing feeling through picturesD. Their teaching was an enjoyable experience.C9.DFind Which Direction Is SouthDo you have a good sense of direction? If not, please take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass, you can still find your way.It’s never a good idea to imagine that the family member who was entrusted（委托）with the job of map-reading actually knows where the family is. You can tell by the slightly confused load on their faces that nothing on the ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The shu is shining and it’s still morning. If you don’t know the exact time, you can still find out where south is, but you’ll need to be patient.①Find a straight sick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its shadow.②Try to position the stick as vertically（垂直）as you can. You can check this by making a simple plumb line （铅锤线）with a piece of string and weight. You haven’t got any string? OK, use a thread from your clothes with a button tied at the end to act as a weight.③Mark the end of the shadow cast by the stick.④Wait approximate ly half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again.⑤Keep doing this until you have made several marks.⑥The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest shadow, which is cast at midday, when the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south.⑦Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick.⑧That point is south of where you are.⑨Now you can turn the map, like you did before, and find which way you should be travelling.68. To find the direction, we ought to be patient probably becauseA. it is not easy to find a proper stickB. it is not easy to position the stickC. it takes hours to make the marksD. it takes about half an hour to make the marks69. The passage would probably be most helpful to .A. those who draw mapsB. those who get lostC. those who make compassesD. those who do experiments70. Which of the following pictures best shows the way of finding the direction of south?71. The author presents this passage by .A. telling an interesting storyB. describing an activity in a lively wayC. testing an idea by reasoningD. introducing a practical methodD10.B（2013四川卷）On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea. Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control. Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves."Everything went quiet in my head," Tim recalls(回忆). "I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line."Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. "At one point, I considered turning back," he says. "I wondered if I was putting my life at risk." After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, "Take down the umbrella!" Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him."Let's aim for the pier(码头)," Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soonafterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. "Can you guys swim?"he cried. "A little bit," the boys said.Once the were in the water, Tim decided it would he safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swan toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.“Are we almost there?" they asked again and again. "Yes," Tim told them each time.After 30minutes, they reached the pier.35. Why did the two boys go to the sea?A. To go boat rowing.B. To get back their football.C. To swim in the open water.D. To test the umbrella as a sail.36. What does "it"in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The beach.B. The water.C. The boat.D. The wind.37. Why did Tim raise his head regularly?A. To take in enough fresh air.B. To consider turning back or not.C. To check his distance from the boys.D. To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.38. How did the two boys finally reach the pier?A. They were dragged to the pier by Tim.B. They swam to the pier all by themselves.C. They were washed to the pier by the waves.D. They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back.四、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共25分）11.假设下面是你们学校对学生课外阅读情况所作的调查。

"As I stood in front of the grave(墓) of President Richard Nixon, I wasthinking about the time 25 years ago when this president helped bring the United States and China closer together.

He was one of 80 middle school students from China attending a month-long " Youth Summit". The Summit was to mark the 25th anniversary (周年) of President Nixon's journey to China, which was the turning point in China-U. S. relations.The Youth Summit was aimed at increasing understanding and friendship between young students of the two countries throught visits and discussions.

Posting too much personal information for those millions of cyber eyes to see can cause some big problems and can even invite a thread to your life.As Mary learned, not everyone on the Internet is who he or she says they are. Adults will sometimes pose as other teens, posting fake photos and nice messages to gain trust. They use their fake identity to access the personal information of others, such as home address, phone number, or school name.“That’s not the most common scenario(一系列可能发生事件),〞says David Finkelhor , a sociology professor at the University of New Hamp shire. “Only 3 percent of teens aged 10 to 18 who use the Internet report being asked to meet offline. But the danger is real.〞Safety measuresMary’s Myspace profile is set to “private〞, which means that only the people she adds under the “friend〞 categor y can access her page. She also doesn’t have any pictures of herself on her site. The only self-identifying material she has posted is her name, grade, and a list of hobbies.Stay safe and have fun onlineExperts say almost 90 percent of U.S. teens online.

As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,〞 because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because her thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop, however, she felt lonely----a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisnerosfind her “Creative voice.〞“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t write about.〞Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children’s book, and a short-story collection.36. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?A. She had seven brothers.B. She felt herself a nobody.C. She was too shy to go to school.D. She did not have any good teachers.37. The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to _____.A. work for a school magazineB. run away from her familyC. make a lot of friendsD. develop her writing style38. According to Cisneros, what played the decisive role in her success?A. Her early years in college.B. Her training in the Workshop.C. Her feeling of being different.D. Her childhood experience.39. What do we learn about The House on Mango Street?A. It is quite popular among students.B. It is the only book ever written by Cisneros.C. It wasn’t success as it was written in Spanish.D. It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.四、书面表达〔本大题共1小题，共25分〕11.目前，食品安全问题引起了人们的厂‘泛关注。

One solution to this problem is to put the drugs inside a capsule, protecting them from the body—and the body from them—until they can be released at just the right spot. There are lots of ways to trigger (引发) this release，including changing temperature, acidity, and so on. But triggers can come with their own risks—burns, for example.Now, researchers in California have designed what could be a harmless trigger to date: shining nearinfrared light (NIR, 近红外线) on the drug in the capsule.The idea of using light to liberate the drug in the capsule isn't new.Researchers around the globe have developed polymers (聚合物) and other materials that begin to break down when they absorb either ultraviolet (UV, 紫外线) or visible light. But tissues also readily absorb UV and visible light, which means the drug release can be triggered only near the skin, where the light can reach the capsule. NIR light largely passes through tissues, so researchers have tried to use it as a trigger. But few compounds (化合物) absorb NIR well and go through chemical changes.That changed last year when Adah Almutairi, a chemist at the University of California, San Diego, reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down when it absorbs NIR light. Their polymer used a commercially available NIRabsorbing group called onitrobenzyl (ONB). When they catch the light, ONB groups fall off the polymer, leading to its breakdown. But ONB is onlya soso NIR absorber, and it could be poisonous to cells whe n it separates fromthe polymer.So Almutairi and her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules that's even better. This one consists of a long chain of compounds called cresol groups linked in a polymer. Cresol contains reactive (易反应的) components that make it highly unstable in its polymeric form, a feature Almutairi and her colleagues use to their advantage. After polymerizing the cresols, they cap each reactive component with a lightabsorbing compound called B hc. When the Bhcs absorb NIR light, the reactive groups are exposed and break the long polymer into two short chains. Shining additional light continues this breakdown, potentially releasing any drugs in the capsule. What's more, Almutairi says, Bhc is 10 times better at absorbing NIR than is ONB and is not poisonous to cells.63. According to the passage, which of the following could be the best trigger?A. Temperature change.B. NIR light.C. Acidity change.D. UV light.64. Why is ONB unsatisfactory?A. It breaks down when it absorbs NIR light.B. It falls off the polymer and triggers drug release.C. It has not come onto the market up till now.D. It is not effective enough and could be poisonous.65. Which word can be used to complete the following process of changes?Bhcs absorb NIR.⇨⇨Polymer breaks down.⇨Drug is released.A. protectedB. formedC. exposedD. combinedB7. It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning afterthe storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting seatouching the shore gently.My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all， it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it ——there aren’t any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whale——actually as big as our boat——was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves. ”She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side, ”my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, some-times rising from the water right beside us to breathe ——and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half.

I am sure, that since winter is approaching, your skates are set to come out, just waiting to be used. Impress your friends with your new trick on how to ice -skate backwards with the help of these tips. Skating backwards on ice is a bit difficult but once you master the basic, there' s nothing like it. Follow the steps given below and you will be able to skate backwards in no time.Stand StraightThe first thing that you need to do is, stand straight. If you feel that you are falling backwards, then just put your chin up and slightly bend your knees. Don't worry; this happens to all.Confidence is What You NeedThe most important step while learning how to skate backwards, is having enough confidence in yourself and in what you are doing. How can you achieve this? By practice. Just practice rolling backwards down a gentle slop every single day or just by pushing off from a wall or something of that sort. But before you do that, make sure that the place where you are practicing is free from any kind of debris （碎片） because otherwise, you could end up in the hospital due to some accident. While going backwards, just get used to the feeling of moving backwards. One of the important ice skating tips and techniques is that if you feel that you are losing your balance, then scissor （做剪式运动） your skates. Keep practicing this till you are confident about it.Maintain SpeedConfident now? Great! Now the next step is to maintain your speed. While rolling in a straight line with one skate, with the other try sculling （滑浆）, that is, keep pushing yourself backwards with an outwards stroke （滑动）. Now bring the skate which you were using to scull, and then again, repeat the same process. Make sure that you put most of your weight on the skate which is moving straight and not the one with which you are sculling. Now, try the same thing using the other foot. Again keep doing this till you are confident enough.Increase Your Speed NowOnce you are confident that you can scull with either foot, the next thing that you have to do is increase your speed. Try some of your own tricks now. Scull with either foot or with both at the same time.Scull and Be AwareWhile you keep one foot straight, keep sculling with the other. You can do that simultaneously （同时，一起） with both feet. Concentrate on what you are doing but don't get so involved that you don't see where you are going. If you are not watching your back, you might just bang against something or someone.1.
