AWelcome to your future life!You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!You say to your shirt, “Turn red.〞It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes〞 contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes’ color or pattern.You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn't drink that!〞 Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car〞 where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology〞 is all around you.So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,〞 says scientist Andrew Zolli, “it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.〞The Internet is one example --- what will be the next?1. We can learn from the text that in the future__________.A. people will never get oldB. everyone will look the sameC. red will be the most popular colorD. clothes will be able to change their pattern2. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Milk will be harmful to health.B. More drinks will be available for sale.C. Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.D. Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.3. Which of the following is mentioned in the text?A. Fridges will know what people need.B. Jacket sleeves can be used as a guide.C. Cars will be able to drive automatically.D. Nothing can replace the Internet.4. What is the text mainly about?A. Future technology in everyday life.B. Food and clothing in 2035.C. Medical treatments of the future.D. The reason for the success of new technology.BJuac has made the leap from being an African refugee (难民) to a chess champion in the United States. His job is to share his expertise(专长) with students in schools, chess camps and other events.During Sudan's civil war in the mid-1980s, Juac was forced out of the country with 20,000 0ther so -called Lost Boys. He fled to Ethiopia, then to Kenya staying in a refugee camp for eight years, where he learned to play chess.Juac described a dangerous journey in which half the boys didn't survive. Toeat, they had to kill wild animals."There were animals on the way. It was about a thousand miles and sometimes there was no water. When we were in Ethiopia, we had to cross the river and there a lot drowned."Juac arrived in the United States in 2004 and began working as a security guard. Winning a chess tournament gave him this teaching opportunity. Juac believes chess helps prepare young people for life."Some kids are not interested, so it's your job to make them like the game, to explain them what chess is going to help them with." He said. "Like, I can tell, this game will give you patience, and help with your math skills."Julie Cathone, a second grade teacher in Jackson Public School, agrees. The School's principal, Meghan Kelley, said Juac and chess have made a big difference."What a role model. I mean when you think about just overcoming, and finding what you love and turning that into your life's work."Juac said he enjoys the freedom he has in the United States. But his passion is playing and teaching chess to youngsters. His boss, Michael Propper , said Juac has one great advantage."I think he's believable. I think they look at him and he's so unassuming that they feel like they can do what he's doing and be a person as he is too."Ju ac still has a big goal ahead of him-becoming an international chess master. With his skill and patience, Propper and his peers have no doubt that will happen. 5.How long did Juac most probably stay in Ethiopia?A. About six years.B. About eight years.C. About twelve years.D. About sixteen years.6.We can learn from the passage that Juac _A. must be teaching kids chess for freeB. is patient and good at math problemsC. surely has his own chess school in AmericanD. hasn't taken part in international chess contests7.The underlined word "unassuming" probably means __A. not appear importantB. seem to be very greatC. appear very charmingD. be not strict or serious8.Which is the best title for this passage?A. "Lost Boys" Experienced Difficult Times.B. Former Sudan "Lost Boy" Appears in NYC.C. Former Sudan “Lost Boy" Becomes Chess Master.D. African Boy Is Teaching Chess in the United States.CAs a good mother to three children, I have tried never to let my passion stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen.I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows 〔誓言〕mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So here’s what I want to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure; it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It’s so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours and our minutes. It’s so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it iswhat, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. If you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived. 9.It can be inferred from the passage that______.A.the author didn't try her best to work wellB.the author spent all her time caring for her childrenC.the author is a success in personal lifeD.the author likes traveling very much10.How did the author form her view of life?A.Through social experience.B.By learning from her friends.C.From her children and husband.D.Through an unfortunate experience.11.By the underlined sentence “It’s so easy to exist instead of to live〞 in the fifth paragraph, the author really means that people tend to.A.work rather than enjoy lifeB.make a living rather than live a real lifeC.waste a lot in lifeD.forget the most important lessons in life12.What’s the author’s attitude toward work?A.Don’t let it affect your real life.B.Earn enough money to make life better.C.Do it well to serve others.D.Try your best to get a higher position and a pay raise.DMonthly Talks at London Canal MuseumOur monthly talks start at 19:30 on the first Thursday of each month except August.

甘肃省嘉峪关市第一中学2015届高三英语第三次模拟考试试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分: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)AIt's Graduation Day—a day that's getting quite familiar to Marc and Beverly Ostrofsky of Houston.Today, they'll attend two graduation ceremonies, one for their daughter Shelly, 22, from Washington University in St.Louis and another for their daughter, Mary Grace, 18, from Kincaid High School.Mary Grace will head to Boston University.Kelly, 22, graduated last Sunday from Duke University.Tracy, 20, is a sophomore (二年级学生) at the University of Denver.The oldest, Maddy, 23, graduated from Berklee College of Music last year.So what's the cost of putting five daughters through college?Beverly told ABC News $60,000 to $70,000 a year.In total, the family will spend about $1.5 million on college after taxes and that's not including graduate school.One daughter informed Marc that she now wants to seek her PhD.Marc is the best­selling author of Get Rich Click, and a multi­millionaire from Internet businesses.“We're fortunate that we can take care of it,” Beverly said.“We decided a long time ago we didn't want the girls to take out college loans, so that was our commitment to them.”Marc and Beverly married five years ago, blending (融合) their own daughters into one big family of college­ready girls.Beverly said they wanted their daughters to have a choice of where they wanted to go to college, but having their children spread throughout the US created another expense—flying all of them home for holidays and visits.Just this week, Marc flew to North Carolina for Kelly's graduation, then to St.Louis for Shelly's graduation and hopes to make it back just in time to Houston for Mary Grace' s graduation tonight.With the last child leaving home for college, Marc says he and Beverly are going to take a breather.“It's like wiping the sweat off the forehead now.It's time to think about what we can do.Perhaps we'll take a vacation abroad,” he said.The Ostrofsky family said their advice to parents who have many children is to start planning and saving from the day the children are born.1.Graduation Day is familiar to Marc and Beverly Ostrofsky because________.A.they like going to school on Graduation DayB.they need to attend their daughters' graduation ceremony several timesC.they have experienced it on their own Graduation DayD.they are often invited to school to have a speech on Graduation Day2.What do we know about Mr and Mrs Ostrofsky from Paragraph 2?A.They would rather their daughters had applied for college loans.B.They now work hard in order to pay for the college expenses.C.They don't want their daughters to go to graduate school.D.They can afford their daughters' college expenses.3.What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A.Mr and Mrs Ostrofsky like visiting their daughters by plane.B.Mr and Mrs Ostrofsky' s daughters often come back home for holidays.C.Mr and Mrs Ostrofsky spend a lot of money on their daughters' traveling.D.Mr and Mrs Ostrofsky are tired because their five daughters are in different colleges.4.The underlined word “breather” in Paragraph 4 probably means________.A.check B.break C.adventure D.attemptBThe 10th annual International “Go Skateboarding Day” will be held on June 21,2012.Skateboarding Day is all about fun!

B.They had a bad childhood.C.They died of the same disease. D.They showed strong interest in poetry.10.What do we know from the passage?A.Keats received little education at school.B.Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.C.In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.D.Endymion was about a real love story.11.While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet at first,John Keats was________.A.determined B.experienced C.knowledgeable D.impatientDUsing tablet computers like Apple’s iPad and Samsung’s Galaxy Note just be fore bed can lead to a poor night’s sleep, according to research.More and more people are taking their tablets to bed with them to surf the web, check Facebook or email before switching off the light. But researchers are warning that the blueish light th eir screens emit can stop users getting a good night’s sleep. That is because this type of light mimics daylight, convincing the brain that it is still daytime. Blue light suppresses production of a brain chemical called melatonin, which helps us fall sleep. This is because our brains have evolved to be wakeful during daylight hours. By contrast, light which is more orange or red in tone does not reduce melatonin production, perhaps because our brains recognize it as a cue that the day is ending.Neurologists (神经病学家) have known for years that staring at screens late in theevening can disrupt sleep. Researchers at the Lighting Research Centre, at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, are warning that looking at tablet displays for more than two h ours “leads to a suppression of our natural melatonin levels as the devices emit optical radiation (光辐射) at short wavelengths” - in other words, they emit bluer light.They say: “Although turning off devices at night is the ultimate solution, it is recommended that if these devices are used at night displays are dimmed as much as possible and that the time spent on them before bed should be limited.”They drew their conclusions after measuring melatonin levels in 13 volunteers, after they had spent time viewing iPads at full brightness at a distance of 10 inches, for two hours. Melatonin levels were significantly lower after they had done this, than they were after the volunteers had viewed their iPads for the same time, but while wearing orange glass goggles, which cut out the blue light.They wrote in the journal Applied Ergonomics that tablet makers could “tune the spectral power distribution of self-luminous devices (自发光设备的频谱功率分布)” so that they disrupted the sleep patterns of users less.It is not just a good night’s sleep that could be jeopardized (危害) by too much late night screen time. Researchers know that persistent disruption to sleep patterns can lead to an increased risk of obesity, and even breast cancer. However, these studies tend to be comparisons of those with chronic (慢性的) sleep disruption, such as long term shift workers, with those who have normal sleep patterns.12. What is it that stops users getting a good night’s sleep?A. ScreensB. blueish lightC. MelatoninD. Orange or red light13. Based on their findings, researchers have made the following suggestions except that________.A. Devices like iPads should be turned off at night.B. Tablet makers should make improvements in devices.C. Users should view iPads at full brightness instead of wearing orange glass goggles.D. The time spent on screen before bed should be controlled.14. We can infer from the passage that _________.A. Orange and red light does no good to a good night’s sleep.B. Our brains recognize orange or red light in tone as a cue that the day is ending.C. The less melatonin our body produces, the easier we fall asleep.D. Too much late night screen time leads to more than sleep problem.15. The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to ________.A. inform readers of a recent research.B. complain about problems caused by using iPads before bed.C. offer some suggestions on late night screen viewing.D. advocate late night screen viewing.第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Most people know that chocolate is made from cocoa and that the origins of chocolate canthe food of the gods to being the food of love?the main ingredient in a dark, bitter drink that we would call “chocolate”.

嘉峪关市第一中学高考前适应性试题3第一部分阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)第一节(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)AI was standing in the kitchen helping with dinner, asking my mom about my brother's doctor's appointment. They were testing him for autism(自闭症).My brother, Captain, four years old at the time, had always been my best friend. We would wrestle, play games and have the best of times together, even though we were far apart in age. My mom told me about the appointment, but when she got to the point about the test, she stopped. I turned around and she had tears in her eyes. I stared at her, wishing she would say something, when I realized what that silence meant. My eyes got blurry(模糊的) and my breathing got very ragged. “The test was positive, sweetheart,” she said. I broke down, crying.My mom was trying to cool me down, saying that Captain couldn't see me like this and I had to be a big girl, when the front door opened, and Captain, our three-year-old sister Cali, and my father came in. I walked out of the kitchen. I couldn't look at him. Everything had just changed. He was no longer that little baby brother who was just a normal little boy.We had to move a while later because Captain needed treatment. One day, I was standing in the bus line waiting when “short bus” came and picked some kids up. The children in the other line started making jokes about the “retards(智力迟钝着)” on that bus and I felt a strange feeling in my stomach, which I had never felt before. During a band class, my teacher, Mrs. Young, stopped our playing to give us some feedback. “Guys, we're playing like the kids on the short bus! Come on!” I felt that same feeling I had in the bus line. The entire room was laughing when I raised my hand.“Yes, Alexis?” Mrs. Young asked.“I don't think we should make fun of the short bus, because there are a lot of people on that bus who have great personalities and have the same feelings as we do. And also, I know some people on those buses and they are some of the most caring, sweetest, and smartest people, so I would appreciate it if you didn't make fun of them.”Everyone stared at me. Mrs. Young apologized for the comment and then started the song again.1. What did Alexis think her mother's silence mean in Paragraph One?A. There was no chance for Alexis to play game with Captain.B. Captain was likely to miss the appointment.C. Captain really suffered from autism.D. Alexis had to prepare dinner quickly.2. Why did Alexis go out of the kitchen?A. Because she didn't want to help with dinner.B. Because she would be much sadder looking at Captain.C. Because she wanted to play with Captain outside.D. Because she wasn't willing to meet a sick brother.3. What Alexis said to her teacher can be seen as a kind of .A. threatB. approvalC. apologyD. commending4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Speaking up.B. Giving up.C. Looking up.D. Taking up.BThe German city of Hamburg has announced plans to become car-free within the next two decades. It is an ambitious idea, but city officials obviously feel that the personal motorcar does not fulfill a function that walking, biking and taking public transport cannot. The goal of Hamburg's project is to replace roads with a green network, which will allow people to navigate through the city without the use of cars.Banishing the car from urban areas is becoming a common trend in many European cities. London imposes a "congestion charge" on private vehicles entering the city centre during rush hours. Copenhagen is building bicycle superhighways radiating out from the city centre. These developments combined may make worrying reading for driving enthusiasts. Is the time of the personal car over?In the century since the Ford Model T was introduced in 1908, global vehicle numbers have swollen to well over a billion. But according to recent research, the growth may have stopped.According to Professor Michael Sivak, at the University of Michigan, "motorization" in the US might have reached a peak in 2008, and that the figures have been on the decline since."New York, Washington, Boston, Philadelphia, each have more than thirty percent of households without a light duty vehicle," says Sivak. In fact, the figures show that fifty-six percent of households in New York (which top the list) don't have a car. "I think that will be surprising to most people. It was surprising to me, and I am in the business. "Sivak thinks a number of factors could be contributing to the trend, including workingfrom home and the movement of populations back to city centers. In China, Beijing and Shanghai are looking at plans to limit the number of new vehicles being registered to control prouth. It's a movement more cities are looking towards, particularly in the US.5.Why does Hamburg launch the "car-free" program?A. To build a greener environment.B. To fix a worldwide road network.C. To call on people to take exercise.D. To replace the public transport.6. The underlined word "banishing" in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by "_____ "A. putting outB. giving awayC. driving awayD. setting out7. What does Michael Sivak think of the result of his research?A. Terrifying. B Amazing. C.Exciting D. Disappointing.8. What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. Most people like to work in the countryside.B. It is only big cities that are taking action.C. Many factors contribute to the trend.D. Effective rules have come into effect.COne of the most famous basketball-players in the New Castle's history was paralyzed(瘫痪的) in a wheelchair one day…and was walking the next. Citizens of New Castle simply refer to it as “The Miracle”.Joel Haler woke up in his dorm room at Hope College last October totally paralyzed from the waist down. Four hospitals later, the only way he could walk was through Robotic Walking Treatment.“This past Tuesday, I was doing the Robotic walk and lasted ten minutes,” Joel said. After that, he gave up. Joel wanted to accept the inevitable(不可避免的) and cancelled his next Robotic Walking Treatment appointment.Then, the night before his cancelled appointment, he woke up to a terrible pain. An hour and a half later, the serious pain left him with an unusual feeling in his legs.“As it continued to move up my legs, it became more and more painful and it took an hour and a half to reach my hips(臀部),” Joel recalled.“I stood up and walked into my parents' room. 'Mom and dad, look!',” he said proudly.“He said something and I was like, 'Joel! Joel! You're walking! You're walking!' We jumped out of bed, cried and hugged,” Joel's mom Karen remembered.“I burst into tears. It's hard seeing your son not be able to walk, but he was standing there, walking,” Joel's father Eric said, tearfully.It was Thursday, January 23, when he could finally walk. That date made perfect sense to Joel. He had dreamt of a calendar that only said “J 23”. He didn't know what to make of it until “a little boy at church, four years old, came up to me and said, 'you will walk on a Thursday',” Joel recalled.So the 20-year-old college student, who could only walk with the aid of robot on Tuesday, was walking on his own.9. According to the passage, “The Miracle” is that .A. Joel Haler became the most famous basketball playerB. Robotic Walking Treatment could cure paralysisC. Joel Haler could walk again after three months' paralysisD. a paralyzed boy could play basketball well10. Which part of Joel Haler's body didn't work?A. His whole body.B. His legs and feet.C.

B.They had a bad childhood.C.They died of the same disease. D.They showed strong interest in poetry.10.What do we know from the passage?A.Keats received little education at school.B.Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.C.In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.D.Endymion was about a real love story.11.While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet at first,John Keats was________.A.determined B.experienced C.knowledgeable D.impatientDUsing tablet co mputers like Apple’s iPad and Samsung’s Galaxy Note just before bed can lead to a poor night’s sleep, according to research.More and more people are taking their tablets to bed with them to surf the web, check Facebook or email before switching off the light. But researchers are warning that the blueish light their screens emit can stop users getting a good night’s sleep. That is because this type of light mimics daylight, convincing the brain that it is still daytime. Blue light suppresses production of a brain chemical called melatonin, which helps us fall sleep. This is because our brains have evolved to be wakeful during daylight hours. By contrast, light which is more orange or red in tone does not reduce melatonin production, perhaps because our brains recognize it as a cue that the day is ending.Neurologists (神经病学家) have known for years that staring at screens late in theevening can disrupt sleep. Researchers at the Lighting Research Centre, at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, are warning that looking at tablet displays for more than two hours “leads to a suppression of our natural melatonin levels as the devices emit optical radiation (光辐射) at short wavelengths” - in other words, they emit bluer light.They say: “Although turning off devices at night is the ultimate solution, it is recommended that if these devices are used at night displays are dimmed as much as possible and that the time spent on them before bed should be limited.”They drew their conclusions after measuring melatonin levels in 13 volunteers, after they had spent time viewing iPads at full brightness at a distance of 10 inches, for two hours. Melatonin levels were significantly lower after they had done this, than they were after the volunteers had viewed their iPads for the same time, but while wearing orange glass goggles, which cut out the blue light.They wrote in the journal Applied Ergonomics that tablet makers could “tune the spectral power distribution of self-luminous devices (自发光设备的频谱功率分布)” so that they disrupted the sleep patterns of users less.It is not just a good night’s sleep that could be jeopardized (风险) by too much late night screen time. Researchers know that persistent disruption to sleep patterns can lead to an increased risk of obesity, and even breast cancer. Howeve r, these studies tend to be comparisons of those with chronic (慢性的) sleep disruption, such as long term shift workers, with those who have normal sleep patterns.12. What is it that stops users getting a good night’s sleep?A. ScreensB. blueish lightC. MelatoninD. Orange or red light13. Based on their findings, researchers have made the following suggestions except that________.A. Devices like iPads should be turned off at night.B. Tablet makers should make improvements in devices.C. Users should view iPads at full brightness instead of wearing orange glass goggles.D. The time spent on screen before bed should be controlled.14. We can infer from the passage that _________.A. Orange and red light does no good to a good night’s sleep.B. Our brains recognize orange or red light in tone as a cue that the day is ending.C. The less melatonin our body produces, the easier we fall asleep.D. Too much late night screen time leads to more than sleep problem.15. The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to ________.A. inform readers of a recent research.B. complain about problems caused by using iPads before bed.C. offer some suggestions on late night screen viewing.D. advocate late night screen vie wing.第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Most people know that chocolate is made from cocoa and that the origins of chocolate can be traced back to Central and South America. 16 but how did chocolate go from being the food of the gods to being the food of love?17 They established the first cocoa plantation and used the cocoa beans as the main ingredient in a dark, bitter drink that we would call “chocolate”. T he Mayas believed that chocolate had mystical properties. 18 In fact, cocoa beans were used as a form of currency that was worth its weight in gold.Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortez was the first European explorer to realize coco’s commercial possibilities. 19 in 1529, Cortez returned Spain and introduced chocolate——as a drink mixed with sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon——to European society.It caught on, especially with the nobility. As its popularity spread, people found new ways to make and use chocolate. 20 Whether it is in delectab le desserts or crunchy candy, people all over the world are still in love with chocolate.A. But cocoa also had commercial value.B. But not all the people all over the world love cocoa.C. For centuries, the native there regarded cocoa as a gift from the gods.D.
